Winston’s Wacky Clears! (15k Pts CSMM, DC, Event Battles, etc)

[exotic herald]

You go for Head Start?

me with 1/5 Wally

[royal steeple]

Me forgetting I have Wally

[exotic herald]

@/Nick please ban this person

[woeful imp]

chezei forgets about most of the units in her ridiculously large roster

[royal steeple]

I still primarily use Sidney for my Dark nuking

[candid mural]

marnie ain't happy about that

[drifting cargo]

Wait she has marnie

[candid mural]

make an assumption that chezei has every single unit in the game, because she's only missing 5 of them or so lol

[royal steeple]

I do indeed have Marnie Also Furbert, SC Zinnia, SS Cyrus... the only Dark type I'm missing is Summer N

[royal steeple]

I'm missing 11 total!

[drifting cargo]

Do you have rose

[royal steeple]

Not yet... hoping for dailies to pull through

[candid mural]

i'm missing more than 11 seasonal units alone lol

[woeful imp]

terrifying

[royal steeple]

The 11 total includes 3 pairs who are currently available so that number could fall if I get lucky on dailies

[drifting cargo]

Well i’m missing 96 units and 96 is greater than 11

[drifting cargo]

Completely unrelated to SS Wally but I hatched a Shiny Saur!

Expect a showcase the next time a grass weak stage appears (unless I forget)

[candid mural]

egg venusaur, lodge sycamore, and ss leaf clear when???

[drifting cargo]

Maybe for poison weak

||I feel disgusted on the inside with the thought of me poison stalling, with SS Leaf no less||

[candid mural]

|| oh no, don't poison stall.. ||

[drifting cargo]

Maybe it’s possible for kanto grass weak

[candid mural]

scenes if we move from hoenn to kanto and have to make obscure themes to make it interesting lol

[glossy magnet]

I really need a break from hoenn sinnoh

[exotic herald]

Next one is def Kalos

[royal steeple]

inb4 Galar E4 and it's even harder than Sinnoh

[drifting cargo]

Rock Zone Lodge Steven vs Rock Weak Drake!
His nuke is kinda insane

[glossy magnet]

Is he EX there?

[drifting cargo]

Nope

Rock Zone is basically a similar effect to having him EXed i guess

[glossy magnet]

True!

Maffs

How much strength?

[drifting cargo]

Str+3 i believe

In hindsight i could have lowered it to str+2 by taking triple strike damage and/or sync countdown -1

[woeful imp]

kalos it is!

[drifting cargo]

Karen + Bede vs Dark Weak Phoebe!
Karen is my only real special dark type damage dealer so I’ll have to keep using her against this stage

||(This is Summer Gloria Slander
Hopefully she gets her GMax some day)||

[fathom oracle]

Wow that first sync did so@much

[drifting cargo]

SpDef drops OP

(OG) Wally + SS Hau vs Fighting weak Glacia! This was supposed to be a showcase of Wally’s nuke, but it didn’t crit
NC Bede is OP, I had to take copious amounts of strength since I couldn’t take Field Effects Off, StandardDmgReduction, and Phys/Spec reduction, but they still easily sweeped

[drifting cargo]

4/5 SS Wally vs Fairy Weak Sidney!
His Attack/SpAtk debuffs are actually more useful than I expected; the sides did basically no damage

[drifting cargo]

Naomi/Ingo/Courtney vs Ground Weak Steven! I know that this is the team that literally everyone uses for Naomi, but I wanted to try it out
She kinda surprised me with her damage

[fathom oracle]

wow her damage was huge crazy how much her damage swings with a good team I have only seen her do like 3K lel

[drifting cargo]

July 24 2023 Hoenn CSMM clears!
Feat sync pairs on each team that can debuff multiple stats, in honour of SS Wally
Scroll up for the videos

[royal steeple]

She can nuke pretty well too

[exotic herald]

i enjoy using her than braindead pairs like SS Giovanni or Maxie

[drifting cargo]

Offtyping with 1/5 Diantha and 4/5 SS Wally! (2.5k pts Fighting Weak Glacia)
||It took me 4 attempts cause I forgot to use fairy wish on the first and missed the quadqueue for the next 2||

[drifting cargo]

Offtype SS Wally as a sole damage dealer vs Rock Weak Drake 2.5k pts! ||Would not recommend.||
(Using a 3/5 grid build)

[candid mural]

[royal steeple]

sole damage dealer
But Dawn is there

[drifting cargo]

So is physical damage reduction 8

[royal steeple]

[drifting cargo]

||Ngl the reason I chose Dawn was for the extra DPS but I forgot I had phys reduction :p||

[royal steeple]

||Sounds like something I'd do tbh||

[fathom oracle]

why does her damage feel so low omg not to say 5k damage off type is nothing at 1/5 its huge but she has so many factors in her favor I am in the dreamy brigade that I swear she is bugged

[drifting cargo]

Her dps is fine imo, the problem is that her nuke is mediocre but she needs sync for one of her biggest multipliers

[drifting cargo]

Plans for next month! (I’m assuming that each seasonal select has sync pairs of a certain role)

• Select SuN, candy him to 3/5. (Never use Karen again)
• Select Lilliebee (and proceed to never use her) or Fallister

[exotic herald]

How would you do that to Karen

[royal steeple]

I still use Sidney even on Sentry Entry because I don't like Karen

[exotic herald]

smh these Karen slander

[woeful imp]

I'm not a fan of using Karen either lmao

Sidney is much more comfortable to use for me

[drifting cargo]

I wanted to try this but with SS Hau

[drifting cargo]

I was brainstorming teams for the galar EB but I forgot Bede was Galarian lmao
That’ll make things a lot easier ^^

[drifting cargo]

Nothing super crazy but here’s probably how I’ll use SS Wally for the upcoming LG!
I’m using eggmon partners but they are amongst the most valuable eggmons

[exotic herald]

you can go for eggClefable and SS Wally duo but there will be more rng

[drifting cargo]

I don’t really feel like doing duos if i’m gonna have pairs left over anyway
I could definitely replace starmie with some less useful eggmon tho, since this wasn’t too bad

[exotic herald]

how many streaks are you going to aim for? if its around ~40 the team is fine

[drifting cargo]

Honestly i have no clue but probably less than 30

[exotic herald]

then the team is totally okay

[drifting cargo]

Next week’s clear will have a theme!
Not sure if every pair can follow it or just the damage dealers

[frozen comet]

every pair or fake theme

[drifting cargo]

It is every pair

[frozen comet]

good

[drifting cargo]

Here’s a (non) hint!
The sync pair that inspired me to do this theme is SuLiza!

[frozen comet]

JUST GO ZOOM AND THEN GO BRRRRRR

[candid mural]

dunno how y'all find theme ideas so easily lol

[drifting cargo]

I just look at one unit i want to use and try to come up with something

[candid mural]

[exotic herald]

I always come up with silly idea so i get silly theme easily

[drifting cargo]

Themed clear Part 1: Iris (Champion Alt) vs Dragon weak Drake!
Ngl I forgot she had Dragon Rush for a moment
See if you can guess the theme yet!

[drifting cargo]

Themed clear Part 2: 1/5 SuLiza vs Flying Weak Sidney!
She’s not super impressive at 1/5
Probably should have brought a leer user

[frozen comet]

liza's a bit lame before 3/5

[drifting cargo]

Themed clear part 3: Silver vs Fire Weak Glacia!
I always get so confused when people say boosted Silver needs 2nd sync to clear ontype
||I totally didnt forget to change tactics ||

[frozen comet]

That theme sure is a theme

[drifting cargo]

Themed clear part 4: 3/5 N and SS Hau vs Elec Weak Phoebe!

I’m glad N doesn’t need crit support anymore, thanks to Follow-Through as his 2/5 grid tile

[frozen comet]

Was using Sing under Electric Terrain a voluntary move ?

[drifting cargo]

I thought i had the no status param on

I did it just cause it’s a one bar move

[worldly reef]

Wow didnt know Silver can do that! What were the bottom param that you used(the red ones)? Looks like enemy sync countdown is lower.

Looks like the Phoebe params are similar.

[woeful imp]

Silver's powerboost is just ridiculous

[worldly reef]

It's this month right?

[woeful imp]

yes

[drifting cargo]

It was round 3; Special Damage Reduction

[drifting cargo]

Themed clear part 5, Giovanni vs Psychic Weak Wallace!

I couldn’t have done it without the SEUN boosted Confusion from Lucian
The theme doesn’t give a lot of SpAtk buffers

[drifting cargo]

Wait i forgot to mention the theme

[royal steeple]

[drifting cargo]

Beating July 31st Hoenn CSMM 12.5k points with a theme!
I’ll reveal the theme momentarily, but anyone wanna guess?

5: #1011434808662040668 message

[royal steeple]

I am so confused

[drifting cargo]

Looking at the image of the sync pairs gives a good hint

It might look like one pair on each team isn’t part of the theme, but they secretly are

[frigid plover]

I GOT IT

||2 pairs with 2 move types + 1 pair with 1 move type||

[royal steeple]

Ohhh wait

||All the pairs have 2 moves types, but one of them is hidden by being a non-damaging move||

[frigid plover]

…

Dangit, I was so close

[royal steeple]

It was your guess that gave me the answer

[frigid plover]

Teamwork

[royal steeple]

I was still stuck on trying to figure out if the first letters of the names spelled out anything better than "benglish"

[drifting cargo]

Yup!
||The one pair on each team using a status move to hide the type was actually unintentional. It was just a coincidence ||

[drifting cargo]

But wth is benglish coming from?

[exotic herald]

[frigid plover]

The 1st letter of each trainer’s name fits into it

[drifting cargo]

Brendan
Elio, Erika
N, Nita
Giovanni
Lana, Liza, Leaf, Lucian
Ingo, Iris
Silver
Hau
(15th pair i forgor)

I should do some dumb theme like that in the future

[royal steeple]

At least make it spell a word

15th pair was Gio again

[woeful imp]

🤯

[woeful imp]

use only pairs whose names start with W, i, n, s, t, and o

[exotic herald]

I remember that theme

[woeful imp]

my name has an O... it's so annoying to stick Olivia in a team for no reason

i tried a full L clear for 2k but idk if I wanna attempt it again. maybe an S clear next time

[royal steeple]

L clear is a lot of fun

[exotic herald]

Just pull Oleana smh

[woeful imp]

i don't have a slightest ounce of interest

[glossy magnet]

No commitment to memes

[drifting cargo]

I did that already

^

[drifting cargo]

Oof, that was so close

I did it! (After exing nessa)

Video soon

1/5 EX CBede + 3/5 EX OG Bede + 5/5 EX Nessa vs SS Leon extreme battle!

(Ignore the ping from richu )

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=024900083400&s0=5&l0=140&r0=5&p0=0&a0=18040702&t0=4444&g0=AAECAwQFBgsOFRYXGBwjJS4v&v1=024601014401&s1=1&l1=140&r1=6&p1=0&a1=15010101&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFBgcICQoMERITFBobHB0eICUmJyg&v2=024600085800&s2=3&l2=140&r2=5&p2=0&a2=15010101&t2=4444&g2=AAECAwQFBgcICw0bHB4hIyUpLDM

[glossy magnet]

Why keep jaw locking instead of razor shell?

[drifting cargo]

Good question
I’m going to pretend its cause it does more damage, but razor shell would definitely be ideal unless you get really lucky with DC2

[royal steeple]

Razor Shell can miss, Jaw Lock can't

That's what I learned from the High Score event

[woeful imp]

oh, i forgot you did it

[drifting cargo]

The high score event is like a month away, but I do want to get to masters this time since my electric roster is actually good

[royal steeple]

That's very good

[candid mural]

Hau in the world do you have that roster? It’s N-mazing

Maybe you can be top 200

Idk how many whales in this game who would take the mode and go for high score tho

[royal steeple]

I reckon most whales are happy with the medal from the Water HS

[candid mural]

It’s pride and accomplishment!

[royal steeple]

Who needs pride and accomplishment from an event when you can buy it by pulling

[candid mural]

That’s technically the whole game tho

[royal steeple]

[drifting cargo]

Huh, i guess i have every electric support

I was gonna say my electric supports suck but…

[royal steeple]

You'd be right, everyone's kinda do

[drifting cargo]

Coping for Yellow and Chuchu as the anni MF support

[royal steeple]

It'll be Lillie and Xurkitree

[drifting cargo]

That’d unironically be the best thing ever for me, lillie is my favourite character and i love xurkitree

[glossy magnet]

This philosophy got me CMarnie who has subsequently got me through many Galar EBEs

[drifting cargo]

There’s only 5 limiteds
One of them was free

[candid mural]

It’s gonna be interesting that’s for sure..

No EX for you

[drifting cargo]

I still can’t get the tracker to display my exes

[woeful imp]

tfw the only limited electric support is holijasmine?

[woeful imp]

errr there should be a filter on the left

[woeful imp]

if they're gonna make triple kanto pikachu might as well make them triple master fairs too

[exotic herald]

I haven't prepared for Yellow yet!

[woeful imp]

I have!

But dena isn't ready for Yellow to grace us with her presence

[drifting cargo]

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day was ruined

[exotic herald]

[woeful imp]

Dena slaps vigilance on 5/5 supports the way I slap a big bag of rice

[drifting cargo]

Or like flextape man putting flextape on stuff

[fathom oracle]

https://tenor.com/view/damage-thats-a-lot-of-damage-jon-tron-gif-13054497

[drifting cargo]

Holdon, mr flextape was the one who said that

[frigid plover]

“To show you the power of Flex Tape, I sawed this Mega Stone in half!”

• Pokemon universe version of Phil Swift, probably

[drifting cargo]

I saw richu trying out Calem so i wanted to try out my fave: SS Hau! (Vs Max HP Elec Weak Phoebe)
I needed a lot of sync accel to fit in the 2nd sync under E-Terrain; without it, the sync only did 50k ish!

[fathom oracle]

Is this round 1?

[drifting cargo]

Round 2 (reflect)

Not that round 1’s special boost affects syncs

[fathom oracle]

Doesn’t it?

[fathom oracle]

Omg jt doesn’t I didn’t know the round one param was only for non sync moves

[drifting cargo]

I’m planning on using sync nuke thorton next week
I had no clue what to take on his grid, so I checked Spark’s doc for advice, but ofc Thorton’s nuke is so suboptimal that spark never made a grid for it

[royal steeple]

I'm sure Aurochs could help you make it work

[drifting cargo]

Here are my team plans!
The theme is no limited units, and using grid expanded 5 ⭐ and 3/4 ⭐ gachas to deal damage

Oh reset happened

[woeful imp]

is your thorton EX'd at least?

[drifting cargo]

Ugh there’s a half sync stage… I’ll probably put crit support on the psychic team so Bianca/Cait can dual strike

[drifting cargo]

Caitlin + Bianca vs 2.5k points Bruno!
Caitlin really impressed me with her damage, and her theme skill synergy with Bianca also helps

[worldly reef]

Couldn’t see but is that ex Caitlin?

[frigid plover]

Not AoE, so no

[fathom oracle]

Caitlin PB was so good

[worldly reef]

O of course Caitlin is striker

[drifting cargo]

Bugsy + Aaron vs Bug Weak Karen! I always hear Aurochs talk about the Bugsy + Noland combo so I decided to ||not use Noland to show off Bugsy’s individual strength.|| Tech Parasect isn’t doing much, I forgot that this stage has Shielded
The idea to use super victory came from https://youtu.be/iyZcZgO0wIo, it makes Bugsy’s nuke pretty solid

[worldly reef]

Man y'all making me want to get on this bugsy train

[fathom oracle]

I was going to say only 23K but that’s without supp Ex lel

Bugsy is great I feel super good on type for me

[drifting cargo]

@somber turret
Not sure if this is alright since it’s on DC and I’m not confident about what the params/grid is, but here ^^

Wait actually that’s just the latter half

[somber turret]

I still take it

oops that one exists already

[drifting cargo]

Nice to see that there are other hau appreciators out there

Wait can you drop the sheet link here?

[somber turret]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/169o_bN8yB3PPaZU-Q7l7WboJ40s__1fAWjWoJ1I7yDs/edit?usp=sharing

tell me if it works

[drifting cargo]

It works well, thanks
Guess i’ll try elec weak lance next week (unless hyper beam demotivates me)

[somber turret]

you're welcome

[drifting cargo]

Janine sync nuke (feat Janine) vs Poison Weak Will!
She’s no longer just the support for her father. She’s now the support for herself

[drifting cargo]

I think Koga’s mad at me for not using him; he just suggested splashing my face with cold water

[drifting cargo]

Ethan general pool team vs Fire Weak Koga! (I hate this stage)
This is totally how I intended this battle to go

[drifting cargo]

Molayne + Masked Royal vs Steel Weak Lance! ||Since they’re the same person||

[drifting cargo]

1/5 Nemona (level 122) offtype vs Bug Weak Karen!
||I feel like richu rn using underlevelled sync pairs||

[candid mural]

quick battle with nemona

[deep kelp]

that screen resolution is really off putting ahah

[fathom oracle]

Wth wow that double shock hurt

[drifting cargo]

I posted it again in 1080p but discord compressed it down

[candid mural]

youtube it is

[drifting cargo]

2PMUN (80%), Galar Flag Bearer (10%), and Team Power Induction 2 (20%)

[fathom oracle]

Wow

[drifting cargo]

Also i level 150ed nemona earlier today; easier than i thought it’d be

[fathom oracle]

I saved stamina so I could 140 her today I made a woopsie and spent it all on her event

[woeful imp]

Fire-weak Koga is so shitty for playtesting...

[fathom oracle]

It’s so unfun

[royal steeple]

Just playtest with

[drifting cargo]

I did, she died

[royal steeple]

[drifting cargo]

Help i’m being harassed

[exotic herald]

Hi being harassed

[drifting cargo]

I’m being banned and in an irl convo rn actually

[royal steeple]

[drifting cargo]

[redacted]

[candid mural]

[drifting cargo]

A very scuffed 1/5 Nemona offtype clear with gen pool allies!
(Please don’t try this)

[fathom oracle]

Params?

[drifting cargo]

Lemme see if i still have them

Looks like str8

[fathom oracle]

Ty

[drifting cargo]

Yay i found it

[drifting cargo]

Latias is a jerk

[drifting cargo]

I’m attempting my old LG clears and wondering how i did them last time…

[exotic herald]

also are you willing to share your old teams? i will steal any interesting teams of yours

oof its right above me

[candid mural]

smh

[drifting cargo]

I forgot that not triple queueing was the meta for latias
Thank goodness safeguard is 3 bars

[candid mural]

I have no idea what eggmon Porygon does lol

[drifting cargo]

+6 spdef +2 speed AOE
And tackle and swift (to counter latias’s evasion)

[candid mural]

That..is pretty nifty

So I guess Oak for here

Among others where moves can’t miss

[drifting cargo]

Mina vs 2.5k Fairy Weak Bruno! Feat Charming Cat

||The game says my Tech Persian is shiny
I should have checked out what it looked like before evolving it ||

[woeful imp]

[drifting cargo]

The ||Masked Royal|| vs Dark Weak Will!
||I used his real identity’s theme for this clear ||

[fathom oracle]

!

[drifting cargo]

(I will ping rafa later )

But before that, here’s Team Magma (and Morty) vs Ground Weak Koga!
I did this just for an excuse to use the silly theme

[somber turret]

[candid mural]

definitely looks like a solo

[drifting cargo]

Instead of pinging rafa I will instead post a trainwreck

[somber turret]

[drifting cargo]

SS Hau solo vs Elec Weak Lance! Using the half sync param. I’ll post the grid momentarily

[fathom oracle]

Maybe it’s time@for me to contribute to the solo grid

[candid mural]

calem solo

[fathom oracle]

Champion Calem solo*

[candid mural]

OG Calem solo

lodge Calem solo

[fathom oracle]

LCalem is maybe possible against a fire weak that’s not difficult

[candid mural]

[royal steeple]

Koga

[fathom oracle]

Evil

[drifting cargo]

Here’s the grid https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=0&v1=009801078500&s1=3&l1=140&r1=6&p1=0&a1=15010101&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFGx4mKSsvMjM0NQ&v2=0
I’m gonna try again later without the half sync param, but I’ll likely have to reset for no hyper beams or hydro pump

[candid mural]

no more fire weak Koga

[somber turret]

[candid mural]

i would ask you Hau in the world you did it, but you supplied the grid

[royal steeple]

I'm gonna solo him with Marley once her EX comes out, trust

[candid mural]

[somber turret]

Can you post it on YT?

[drifting cargo]

Hmm, i’ve never posted to yt before but i’ll try

[somber turret]

Idk if anyone can see discord messages links

[candid mural]

its a quick way for everyone to join winston's thread tho

[fathom oracle]

Is there a Nemona solo in the doc yet?

[royal steeple]

There are a few

[fathom oracle]

Scary

[royal steeple]

Fairy-weak Bruno, Poison-weak Will, and Elec-weak Lance all have Nemona solos so far

[fathom oracle]

Is there a champ Calem solo yet lel

[candid mural]

should i try to get it done before richu

[fathom oracle]

This is just like the Raikou solo

[candid mural]

lets see how doable it is

[royal steeple]

I don't see any Calem solos at all

[drifting cargo]

YouTube hates me, it keeps saying error

I’ll try again tmrw

[somber turret]

Yes but you need to be on this discord

[somber turret]

[candid mural]

[drifting cargo]

Oh my hau is level 150 btw, and I used the half sync param
I think it’s possible to do it without with good rng

[somber turret]

just ping when you have the video

[drifting cargo]

Hopefully youtube stops erroring me

[royal steeple]

If it doesn't like you, I bet one of us could upload it for ya

[fathom oracle]

I think I can do more Nemona solos as they’re pretty much like SSLyra

[drifting cargo]

That’s a good point, but i’ll just see if it keeps erroring tomorrow

[drifting cargo]

But ss lyra has 100% flinch, nemo is only 30%

[fathom oracle]

It’s 40

[somber turret]

And then SCZinnia is 70%

[royal steeple]

That explains all the SC Zinnia solos

[drifting cargo]

Right, with her Hit Enemy with No Buffs: Inflict Flinch 6

[drifting cargo]

I’m waiting until Wednesday’s seasonal select before doing this week’s clears btw

||And hopefully the Hau solo on yt later this week||

[candid mural]

[candid mural]

it's the day

[woeful imp]

What day

[candid mural]

waiting until the selects before doing the clears

[woeful imp]

Oh

Man, everyone's talking about the selects

Cries in f2p

[candid mural]

and my brain thought you said Han Solo instead of Hau Solo. This is what happens when you watch a bunch of star wars before Ahsoka

[candid mural]

google play points unless that's cheating

[woeful imp]

It's so slow to get them

[drifting cargo]

Lodge N vs Psychic Weak Bruno!
I woNder if you can guess what the theme this week is

[fathom oracle]

Is it units with matching number of gauges?

[drifting cargo]

no

[royal steeple]

||Is it all five Ns||

[drifting cargo]

3/5 Summer N vs Dark Weak Will!
It’s been a while since I’ve used such a strong EX strike

[drifting cargo]

Using SS N to assist EX Darach for Flying Weak Koga!

[exotic herald]

Your clears are woNderful

[drifting cargo]

Naturally. The harmony between these pairs is like that of a growing tropius and the sun

[exotic herald]

[candid mural]

[fresh void]

All N team, call that a harmonic sequence

[drifting cargo]

Anni N offtype vs Fighting Weak Karen!

Really wish I had Support Fuecoco rn; it’d save me from using SS Morty

missed chance to use all the Leons

[drifting cargo]

I expected you to say all the lillies, since i just finished lilliemax

[candid mural]

my eyes went to the bottom right lol

since i was thinking about electric HS

[exotic herald]

I was supposed to say a puN but I have raN out of idea(l). I have to face this sad truth

[royal steeple]

N-credible! It looks like you had the right formula for prevailing in this dream

[drifting cargo]

Instead of doing a lillie-filled CS clear, i’ll just redirect you to #1012474047671586887

Event Victor + 1/5 SS Korrina offtype Dark Weak Will!
Kinda nice how my first actual Ghost Zone setter ||(no offence to Lillietea; hopefully she gets the Field EX role)|| removes stat buffs for her

[exotic herald]

Victor + SS Korrina my beloved combo

[royal steeple]

I wonder if duoing Korrina with Victor is easier than doing it with Cynthia

[drifting cargo]

You have SS Korrina?

[exotic herald]

3/5 too

[drifting cargo]

My Nemona is now 3/5 so expect showcases later

[royal steeple]

[candid mural]

[drifting cargo]

3/5 Nemona super duper sync accel offtype Fighting Weak Karen!

I wish Nemona’s trainer move did less things, it eats up into field effect duration

[royal steeple]

Isn't Karen Fighting weak this weak

Also what does Bede actually do? I haven't used him since I got him

[drifting cargo]

Not a lot, just Atk/SpAtk buffs, crit buffs, speed buffs, Def/SPdef buffs, sync accel, PMUN/SMUN, free moves, and probably something else

[royal steeple]

Oh so not that much, I can probably keep him at 1/5 for now

I do love the turbo syncing though

[drifting cargo]

Yeah I also keep him at 1/5, his grid doesn’t seem that useful for my purposes

[candid mural]

Bede owners feasting

(I am not a Bede owner but I don’t regret skipping him)

[royal steeple]

I couldn't skip him because I needed to keep the trio together

[drifting cargo]

If we’re feasting I guess you’re starving

[drifting cargo]

We’re enjoying mr beet

[woeful imp]

Chezei ..........

He's probably my favorite support to use atm

[drifting cargo]

Enjoy these last 2 days until he gets replaced in that role

[royal steeple]

I can use him more if it'll make you happy Nov

[woeful imp]

I'm actually actively looking forward to the day Blue becomes the best support again

It's been too long

[woeful imp]

Yes please learn to use him especially his move rotation

[royal steeple]

I'll put in the work for ya!

[drifting cargo]

I’m extremely compelled to use my 2 tech candies to 3/5 SS N

[royal steeple]

What's stopping you?

[drifting cargo]

The idea of a tech lillie/n alt soon

[woeful imp]

Smh winston, even I have 3/5 SS N

[royal steeple]

[woeful imp]

i got him in 10 multis then decided to continue to pity

[drifting cargo]

That’s what happened to me with sstred

Oh, that was just for my teamplans next week. Not that quaxly’ll be here by then, but i was looking to see if it had good synergy with the water type i’m gonna use

Also thanks for the peer pressure nov! ||What could possibly go wrong while i’m tech candy broke ||

[drifting cargo]

SCREW WHATEVER PLANS I HAD BEFORE, I’M USING 3/5 HUGH

[drifting cargo]

This helps no one but here’s a clear of the Kanto Neo Champ Event BC clearing both missions with 3/5 SSTRed, Lorelei, and Bluecanine

[frozen comet]

Didnt get any dup

[drifting cargo]

Poison Zone Lucy vs Poison Weak Will!

||Her damage was so bad I thought that I forgot to use the nuke grid||

Zoneless and Sunless EX Burgh vs Bug Weak Karen!
Aka Zeen’s beloved

3/5 SS N max nuke setup vs Ice Weak Koga!

||What the absolute hell, SS N is supposed to be bad.||

[fathom oracle]

Unhindered works on sync til

[drifting cargo]

Istg Hugh has innate Soften Up -1

[royal steeple]

Tell me about it. He refused to crit for me when I was using him

[drifting cargo]

He literally never crit the mid in all of my attempts (before I switched to Lillie), and Recoil Removal 4 never activated

3/5 Hugh EX offtype vs Grass Weak Bruno!
To think that 24 hours ago I didn’t even have Hugh (or 5/5 Lillie for that matter)

[undone sphinx]

Hugh & Bouffalant

Recoil Removal 4:

Has a chance (50%) of negating recoil damage when using moves that have the recoil effect tag.

Reckless Boost 9:

Powers up the user's moves that have the recoil effect tag.

Hugh’s Determination:

Except in certain circumstances, fully restores the user's HP just before the user faints the first time each battle.

Themes:

Normal | Unova | Rival
Unova Adventurer

[drifting cargo]

So i didnt imagine him having recoil removal 4… Pretty sure its a lie

[exotic herald]

It becomes Recoil Remover 1 when you need it to proc

[drifting cargo]

For those who are curious, here is every single (non eggmon) electric sync pair in the game

I’m most likely gonna pull Clue (Another) and I’ll use the free select on Marnie

[exotic herald]

Clue

Do you plan to candy Ash

[candid mural]

you have more electric sync pairs than me

you can go for top 200 easily

[drifting cargo]

I forgot to post this earlier so Siebold vs Water Weak Lance! His nuke is pretty good. Kinda annoying how he refused to crit his Water Pulses tho

August 28th 2023 (4th anni) 12.5k Johto CS Clears!
No particular theme, just using units I wanted, like my newly 3/5ed SS N (who completely surprised me with his damage)

[drifting cargo]

I feel like chezei rn since i havent done my special cs yet

[glossy magnet]

It's been less than 24 hours

[royal steeple]

[candid mural]

well, fire monotype is a bit tricky...

[drifting cargo]

I know, i feel so anxious already

[candid mural]

it's a lot easier than an LG win streak with Moltres in it, at least

[royal steeple]

How long are you gonna wait then

[drifting cargo]

I have no clue
I’m expecting to be kinda busy the next few days and I dislike doing CS at night since I may make some goofy plays

[royal steeple]

Goofy plays are the best though

[candid mural]

you would know, Chezei

it's ok to make goofy plays, i did make one or two of those in special CS..

[royal steeple]

[drifting cargo]

I have been convinced to begin the fire weak cs

Silver’s first sync vs Glacia!

[drifting cargo]

I’m finally posting the other clears!
Ethan + SS Hilbert dual strike vs Fire Weak Grimsley! (No sun)

[drifting cargo]

SS Red + SS Acerola vs Fire Weak Koga!

||I clicked Flare Blitz, but I forgor that I had Physical DR8||

Hilda vs Fire Weak Molayne!

||I loved this battle since it had a fave ||
||I love Molayne||

[drifting cargo]

I posted that video sideways before realizing

Anni N vs Fire Weak Challenge Red!

Is his nuke impractical in comparison to using a DPS build? Yes
Will I continue to use it? Yes

[drifting cargo]

If I had a nickel for every time this past week I used N to get a 100k nuke in CS, I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice

4th Anni Fire Weak Stadium 12.5k points clears! No theme, I’m just seizing the opportunity to use some of the fire damage dealers that I don’t use often

[royal steeple]

[drifting cargo]

Wait the theme is supports in mid

[royal steeple]

But the supports are on the left in the pic

Where they belong in battle tbhtbh

[drifting cargo]

Left in the cs pic is mid in battle

[drifting cargo]

That’s not right

[royal steeple]

You're right, it's left

[drifting cargo]

I am right

[candid mural]

SS Hilbert appearance

[woeful imp]

oh boy I do love Challenge Red, he's my favorite character

[drifting cargo]

#gacha-and-flex message This happened so expect a showcase
It’s nice that Malva has SEx2 so it’ll more accurately represent the damage

[candid mural]

[drifting cargo]

Ethan + Bede vs Fire Weak Wikstrom!
Kinda shocked at how good Ethan looked ||thanks to Bede||

2/5 NC Blue + Clemont dual striker vs Elec Weak Siebold!
I lost so many attempts since they refused to paralyze ||(partly because my earlier attempts had No Status on||

[drifting cargo]

Paulo + Emmet + SS Diantha with Half Sync Param vs Sentry Entry X2 Rock Weak Malva!

[drifting cargo]

Tina + SS N vs Ice Weak Drasna!
Tina’s buffs and her tanking abilities are mid, but they synergize well with SSN. It’d be even better if I had her at 2/5 for Scorching Touch (not sure when I’d be able to use Flame Charge, tho)

[royal steeple]

She's mid you say?

[drifting cargo]

Her buffing powers are at least
Her sync pair story talks about how she wants to get stronger so maybe they’ll buff her

[exotic herald]

[drifting cargo]

She is a Poké Fair unit without a 5/5 grid sooo

Expanded Grid Blue + Dana vs Flying Weak Diantha!

Ofc when I finally get around to using Blue, it’s against a stage that uses SpAtk drops

[drifting cargo]

Maaan, I hate Paulo’s kit
||I need to quadqueue with him twice! ||

[minor bobcat]

Janine is the secret SSN enabler that's been under my nose the entire time.

[woeful imp]

🤯

[drifting cargo]

She used her ninja abilities to prevent you from seeing her

[candid mural]

[drifting cargo]

I love it when my sync doesn’t crit

[royal steeple]

[candid mural]

[drifting cargo]

Will + Bianca vs Psychic Weak Drasna! Will really didn’t disappoint.

||He was actually level 139 for the battle, and jumpscared me with “Nothing stands a chance against my psychic powers” at the end||

[royal steeple]

Shoutout to techs that do more DPS than some strikers

[candid mural]

Good work Will

I was low key waiting for the Bianca sync tho

[drifting cargo]

Maybe another week

[candid mural]

Bianca sync? Natu day

[drifting cargo]

Marnie vs Dark Weak Malva ft. Archer!

||I brought NCBede to buff Archer but he didn’t even bother critting his sync
Regardless, Archer’s Speed buffs make Marnie’s TM more useful||

[candid mural]

You got archer today?

[drifting cargo]

Yup, from the ticket thingy
He was probably my 3rd most wanted person, but I’m happy since I didn’t get gasoline man

[candid mural]

Was second choice, got Ariana

[drifting cargo]

What was your want prio

[candid mural]

Ariana. Archer, didn’t care after that

[drifting cargo]

Event Victor + Shauntal (ft NCBlue) vs Ghost Weak Wikstrom!
This is 100% how I intended this clear to go, mhm yes

(Using the Special Moves Up Parameter)

[royal steeple]

Nice Victor clear

I'm impressed by how much damage Shauntal did

[exotic herald]

when

[royal steeple]

After Misty

[drifting cargo]

Thank the special damage up parameter and the 2 SMUN

[royal steeple]

Oh I forgor Blue gives SMUN

Still impressive tho

[drifting cargo]

Sycamores vs Grass Weak Siebold! They did too much damage

||@unique pasture sycafore you ||

[unique pasture]

SYCAMORE MY BELOVED

[drifting cargo]

Sycamore? As in singular?
Which one is not beloved?

[royal steeple]

What about Sycamost?

inb4 Tai bans us both

[exotic herald]

Tai hates Kanto confirmed

[candid mural]

Nov in shambles

[royal steeple]

Just don't tell her

Kanto is Kancelled 😔

Can we cancel Johto next

[drifting cargo]

Kanto is banto

Johto is a no go
Hoenn has hoended
Sinnoh has sinned

Man the PokeRap looks different than I remember

[royal steeple]

The first thought that popped into my head was "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel

[woeful imp]

failed crit.... feels bad man

[woeful imp]

NOOOOO

[woeful imp]

Johto is actually my favorite region I'm a fan of Kantrio but I don't care about any other Kanto character

[drifting cargo]

Hop + Colress dual damage dealers defeat Diantha! (Steel weak)

||Colress really said “You peaked” ||

[exotic herald]

Hop nuke real

[royal steeple]

no more Silver outfits for you, only variety eeveelutions

[drifting cargo]

Sept 11 Kalos CSMM 12.5k Point Clears!
No particular theme this week, just using pairs I wanted to use, including some newly obtained and upgraded pairs
Scroll up for the videos of the clears

[woeful imp]

Good, I need to zen

I don't expect Silver to get anything else tbh. Him getting a proper alt with Sneasel is already a dream come true because I was so afraid he'd be BP or variety

I'm still on hopium that he'll get a sync pair with whatever egg Eusine gave him but if Dena can forget Team Plasma still has Reshiram, then Dena can surely forget this

[unique pasture]

Double Sycamore

[deep kelp]

power trip dps got marnie from ticket?

[drifting cargo]

SS Hau is a chad
I brought Volkner with him vs Marnie so I could perfectly time e terrain and flinches so it’d last long enough for Hau’s sync (after a supp ex sync), but he ended up one shotting (not really since BElectroweb does good damage) Morpeko with the sync

I’m exhausted, hopefully this is enough for masters
(Currently rank 174)

[royal steeple]

You can get those Volkner points up

Seriously though, nicely done

[candid mural]

Did you get the medal last time?

[drifting cargo]

Nope, i was too lazy

But since my elec roster is good, i wanted it this time

[candid mural]

It’ll be enough

[drifting cargo]

Last time, point cutoff was what, 230k? Even if people are more experienced now, the more difficult parameters should mean that it balanced out

[royal steeple]

I think that a lot of the people who got the medal last time are not going to compete this time, too, so it should be a bit easier

[exotic herald]

Yo congrats

[woeful imp]

can confirm

well done, Winston

[drifting cargo]

#gacha-and-flex message
No water weak stage this week, but maybe i can make things work. SuGloria has ramming speed after all

[candid mural]

[drifting cargo]

1/5 Paulo triple Lycanroc team vs Rock Weak (Sentry Entry X2) Malva! Paulo and Olivia have pretty decent synergy thanks to sand and Atk/Spe buffs. I hope Olivia’s grid expansion gets Soften Up so I can skip using her TM twice
(Half sync countdown parameter)

[exotic herald]

4/5 Pauloser when

[drifting cargo]

I’ve finished the Kalos csmm clears; I’ll post them here later today (which may be tomorrow for some of you)

||Also I forgot to claim my daily missions yesterday
I really need to claim them earlier in the day ||

[candid mural]

claim them when you wake up

[drifting cargo]

I don’t wake up at 1am

[drifting cargo]

OG Wally + SS Hau vs Fighting Weak Molayne uh I meant Wikstrom! This clear went 100% according to plan

It’s nice how ACyn can remove zone while tanking

BP Valerie solo DPS vs Fairy Weak Drasna! It’s really weird using a strike sync pair who’s only multipliers are literally free. I guess it’s nice for teambuilding?

[exotic herald]

Valerie redemption arc real

[woeful imp]

FINALLY we have a good valerie

[exotic herald]

Now we just wait for Master Fair Valerie with shiny Xerneas

[drifting cargo]

She really said “Might You Forgive Me” after her flop base

Colress + BP Soffy vs Elec Weak Colress!
||I should have taken this opportunity to use Sonia’s multipliers ||

[exotic herald]

[drifting cargo]

Courtney vs Ground Weak Diantha!

I love the Aqua/Magma encounter themes

Sept 18 2023 Kalos CSMM 12.5k points clears! With a||n accidental|| debuffing theme
As usual, scroll up for the video clears

[royal steeple]

Now EX Courtney

[drifting cargo]

Give me some , I’m poor

[royal steeple]

I can give you some instead if that helps

Pallet Town Tech

Sync Pairs with Passive:

Sygna Suit Leaf & Venusaur

If you like the bot, consider becoming a Patron: https://patreon.com/PoryphoneBot

[drifting cargo]

Oak doesn’t have the pallet town theme

Tate vs Psychic Weak Bruno! Even without Cakewalk, his damage was still pretty adequate
||Fun fact: Deoxys has a Defence forme||

[fathom oracle]

Tates TM is one of my favorites

[royal steeple]

Imagine not using Deoxys' defence forme as your primary

[drifting cargo]

Oak vs Psychic Weak Marshal! Feat NC Blue

You can probably guess the theme by now

[fathom oracle]

Ex role

Oh wait

Discharge made it aoe

[drifting cargo]

What do you mean I’m late
SSusamine vs Psychic Weak Challenge Flint: Part 1 (using half sync parameter, without Psychic terrain)!

||Always nice when the clear is short enough so that I don’t have to reduce the file size ||

EX Lucian + Cyrus vs Psychic Weak Kahilli!
There were no Psychic damage dealers that fit on this themed team, so I used Cyrus for DPS

Caitlin vs Psychic Weak Challenge Hop!
This stage hits pretty hard, but so does Caitlin

12.5k points Psychic Special Stadium Master Mode!
Using mono region teams

[noble hornet]

who was your r1 tank

[drifting cargo]

SS Steven, apparently he has a Defence forme

[noble hornet]

Oh oops I didn't even think of that

[drifting cargo]

I always forget he has one too

[noble hornet]

Haven't use anything apart from attack in ages

I also did DPS Tate, was pretty impressed

[drifting cargo]

Anni N vs Fire Weak Wikstrom!

NC Blue is really nice for situations like these. It’d be even better if I had him at 3/5, but I’m not willing to candy him rn

[candid mural]

For Chezei. Anni N does more than just noble roar

[drifting cargo]

He also does a cool spin

https://tenor.com/view/unova-pokemon-n-pokemon-gen5-gif-19244801

Inteleon + Support Quaxly vs Water Weak Malva!

Cheryl tanks pretty well against this stage, since it only uses Special moves. (Drasna’s Dragon weak stage is the same)

[candid mural]

Can’t even tell the move level of Gloria

[deep kelp]

def 3/5

[drifting cargo]

Yeah 3/5

[drifting cargo]

Leon Alt + a Sea Lion vs Dragon Weak Drasna!

I never have time to use Max Moves

[royal steeple]

I forgot that Sparkling Aria is a spread move

[deep kelp]

that's such an odd team in my eyes lol

funny to witness the differences

[royal steeple]

I didn't know Dennis had Double Drop

[fathom oracle]

This Gloria alt was so made for like SMUN but she was 4 months off

[drifting cargo]

I needed an excuse to use Elio

[deep kelp]

valid

[drifting cargo]

Burgh vs Bug Weak Siebold (using Half Sync Param)!

I didn’t have enough time to maximize his nuke but thankfully they hadn’t Powered Up On Hit too much

[fathom oracle]

I Might consider EX’ing burgh if lusamine doesn’t get a good PB cause he’s really good

[candid mural]

I've never used Burgh

[fathom oracle]

Id recommend him!

[candid mural]

I have Hilbert tho

[drifting cargo]

Use them together
Hilbert activates his Smarty Pants

[candid mural]

are you acting like a smarty pants here

saw the initial react

[drifting cargo]

Koga EX 1st sync clear vs Poison Weak Diantha!
Feat two other Poisonous winged creatures

I’ll use Lodge Marnie some other week

[candid mural]

wait a minute here...this is Emma erasure

[drifting cargo]

I don’t have her
Hopefully she’ll rerun with Anabel so I can fix that

[fathom oracle]

Wow 39k first sync that in a way feels like more than my kogas

[candid mural]

skill issue

[fathom oracle]

Despite SpDef debuffs and supp ex lel

[drifting cargo]

I was able to greed with max sync countdown -2 and stuff, so I could take minimal strength
You also didn’t take Phys DR8 or No Debuffs afaik

[candid mural]

[fathom oracle]

Oh right

[candid mural]

1/5 is still good, debating on the triple crobat for that one or another theme

[drifting cargo]

Her 1/5 seems good but idk how much better it is compared to smth like Roxie, since Emma has no nuke at 1/5

[candid mural]

5000 paid gems

[fathom oracle]

I think Emma’s damage is better by a lot but sync Roxie prolly is better

[candid mural]

i also really hate centipedes

and have always liked the zubat line

[royal steeple]

🤝 I always off-typed Bug stages until I got the subway bugs

[exotic herald]

[royal steeple]

what's the issue

[exotic herald]

you didnt use Lusamine

[candid mural]

I had 1/5 Lusamine for the longest time

[fathom oracle]

Me with Lillie

[royal steeple]

I could never figure out how

[candid mural]

you could say the same for (insert sync pair here)

[royal steeple]

I know how to use some pairs!

[candid mural]

[royal steeple]

Like Dawn! And uhh... NY Dawn!

[candid mural]

[drifting cargo]

[woeful imp]

not even all dawns?

[royal steeple]

I mean I think I can use all the Dawns, but I bet some would argue I can't use SS Dawn very well because I don't use Crisis Countdown

[royal steeple]

I get home and see these reactions, I think that justifies my thought

[woeful imp]

"i think i can use all the Dawns" wdym you think

Smh chezei the next CS theme should use the units you almost never use

[royal steeple]

Should I put up my roster and let the people decide?

I'm confident that I know how to use most of my faves

[candid mural]

“Use Norman”

[royal steeple]

I have limits

[woeful imp]

Then we'll force you to use non-faves

Go, use Ghetsis

[royal steeple]

Not like this!!

[noble hornet]

Valid tbh I don't use Crisis Countdown on her either Catalyzing recovery on moonlight ftw

[royal steeple]

[woeful imp]

That's the one that gives MGA right? I take that too lol

[noble hornet]

Yeah

I go for that and then Sync Heal Refill I think

[exotic herald]

[drifting cargo]

[drifting cargo]

Lodge Rosa & the Wott Brothers vs Water Weak Shauntal! I’m pleasantly surprised with their damage output, even without rain.

(While this did use the Physical Attack Moves Up parameter, it doesn’t affect sync moves, which were the main damage source here)

[exotic herald]

EX Lodge Rosa when

[drifting cargo]

Rosa is an MC

||The M stands for Mid ||

Colress + Hugh vs Steel Weak Grimsley
Who need to max attack when your nuke has this many multipliers

||I forgot to turn off Standard DR8 I mean I intentionally turned on SDR8 so I could take less strength for funnier numbers
Also Hugh refused to hurt his Bouffalant and activate Initial Pinch Phys Boost 5||

[fathom oracle]

||I could tell this was unova mono from first clear ||

[drifting cargo]

||I stole the idea from zeen ||

[exotic herald]

[fathom oracle]

Also wow hugh hits hard

[drifting cargo]

He was mostly attacking sides, who don’t have debuff mitigation

Nate + OGSkyla dual “ Strike ” vs Flying Weak Marshal!

Fun fact: Skyla has Ramming Speed and an Innate Inertia!

@subtle oyster can your Pal Elesa/Anni Skyla do this

[subtle oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/shaggy-are-you-challenging-me-scooby-gif-13519095

Also damn rare Nate in CS. Respect.

[drifting cargo]

I bet they clear in an actually reasonable way and not in a super scuffed extremely close way

[subtle oyster]

Maybe...

Rosa got taken down early on, and I think Anni Skyla was down too before Pal Elesa started spamming Fly.

So yes.

[subtle oyster]

Wait why did Shauntal stagger Will O' Wisp
How 😭

[exotic herald]

This is a personal thread. Please ask for help in #1009554906568462476

[drifting cargo]

Suicidal technique

If your own pair faints to recoil, weather, or status, the enemy will delay their move until after their death (to pay respects, obviously)

[subtle oyster]

Interesting

[drifting cargo]

Anyway, speaking of on the edge clears, here’s Summer N vs Dark Weak Caitlin! I forgot that this stage had a secret Wise EntryX1.5

[woeful imp]

Wott brothers lmao

[drifting cargo]

Wait, it should be the ott brothers

[candid mural]

Ott(awa)

[drifting cargo]

But NY/NJ isn’t in Ottawa, last I checked

[drifting cargo]

SC Emmet + SC Ingo offtype vs Fighting weak Iris! (Emphasis on the weak, this stage has like no HP.) Their synergy is really brilliant

(Using the stronger debuffs param)

Using only Unova units for Oct 2 2023 Unova CSMM! 12.5k points as always

[fathom oracle]

Wow his damage is really good

[drifting cargo]

I got lucky rolling 2 PMUN from Swords Dance

[fathom oracle]

12k with one sync buff is good regardless!

[deep kelp]

Where is OG Emmet what happened is he ok

[exotic herald]

In Winston's universe he was the one got sent to Hisui

[subtle oyster]

SS Elesa my beloved

[drifting cargo]

Lodge Leaf + Dual Gardevoirs vs Fairy Weak Marshal!

||Diantha is uh, totally doing something, trust||

[noble hornet]

Very cool clear also did not realise Clefable's model was so big

[drifting cargo]

I guess that the FOV wasn’t changed since there aren’t any massive Pokémon

Three Bees beeat up Bug Weak Grimsley!

||Why does Ribombee have such awful gauge ||

[candid mural]

i always beelieved you could do it with that last clear

[royal steeple]

I think they gave Lillie a three-bar and then slapped Move Gauge Boost on her to pretend to make up for it

[exotic herald]

bee

[golden bolt]

bees

[subtle oyster]

[drifting cargo]

Couldn’t they have given her 350 speed and x speed all instead

But i guess having 3 actually good tms was not a thing back in the day

[drifting cargo]

Double Ghost Zone Setters vs Ghost Weak Caitlin with half sync param!
||(I didn’t intend to get Ghost Zone from Lillietea, but I’ll take it ||)

[candid mural]

[fathom oracle]

Seriously wasn’t expecting victors damage to be lower than allister thats quite sad

[drifting cargo]

His max didn’t crit, and his shadow balls weren’t under ghost zone or unbuffed power

Bertha + Naomi + Supp Cubone vs Ground Weak Shauntal!

||I had to reset so many times cuz of Confuse Ray or Hypnosis ||

[drifting cargo]

Who’s the third

[candid mural]

Resetting battles and its not even LG

[drifting cargo]

Wait people don’t normally reset numerous times for CS?

I guess most people use good units

[candid mural]

I typically don't reset too much in CS

[drifting cargo]

Paulo + Emmet + SS Diantha super sync accel vs Rock Weak Alder (half sync)

Maybe I’ll Supp EXRole Paulo if my faves don’t get it anytime soon

[fathom oracle]

I reset a lot for this CS 🤝

[candid mural]

[royal steeple]

I reset more for CS than for anything else

[candid mural]

you don't play the other challenging content enough to reset them

[royal steeple]

[exotic herald]

[glossy magnet]

Haxorz

[royal steeple]

But base Allister doesn't set zone does he?

[exotic herald]

[drifting cargo]

I see what other people mean by Latios being the hardest part of gauntlet… I have no clue what to use against him

[exotic herald]

Winston try hard LG?

[drifting cargo]

Probably not

[exotic herald]

[drifting cargo]

I’m too burnt out by the nemona solo

[woeful imp]

winston soloing LG?

[fathom oracle]

So real

[drifting cargo]

Is that new

[candid mural]

It is now

[drifting cargo]

October 9 Unova CSMM clears!
With monotype teams

||Paulo used Hoopa’s power to send Ingo to Unova so that I’d use him instead||

Here are my first 10 LG11 clears! With several stolen teams

||They still haven’t fixed that LG glitch, eh? They bleached out the mustard from TRed||

[candid mural]

I’m glad some of my teams were stolen who I stole from others

Leaf and Clefairy don’t even need EX?

[deep kelp]

wtf?

i gotta invest

what's the grid

[drifting cargo]

It works at 4* promo

It’s insanely easy

https://youtu.be/h271gQYeMZw?si=sO5-fhTynPpmd5gh

It just takes a while

[candid mural]

[drifting cargo]

I’m disappointed in the LG community, Colress still hasn’t soloed Torn

[deep kelp]

[candid mural]

Shots fired at Gakon and Nov

Is that solo even doable

[drifting cargo]

Actually maybe it is impossible, he can’t buff attack and he can’t heal the sync damage, even if every move gets full paraed

[drifting cargo]

No one’s ever done it

[candid mural]

I like that SS Serena and Arbok duo

But I always feel Arbok is so valuable because of the +6 speed

So I tend to use that unit on “weaker” teams

[drifting cargo]

Actually it was just ss serena #916852044692856834 message

[candid mural]

I had that same bug too

[drifting cargo]

Are there any +4 aoe speed eggmons that aren’t useful otherwise

[candid mural]

Uhh there’s probably something out there

But I only use shiny eggmons outside of striker perrserker

[woeful imp]

https://youtu.be/q4JLMUjVNOk?si=-QtDy11bKBGouPl0 uhm. i have news.

[woeful imp]

i think it's either +6 speed or just +2 speed with eggmons

[drifting cargo]

[woeful imp]

looks like he doesn't need healing to do it

just Dodge Every Move ™️

spamming thunder wave on bars 2 and 3 and nuking the whole bar is big brain though

ah damn, he wants mad strength 2

[exotic herald]

Dodging

[drifting cargo]

#gacha-and-flex message

I might do a 5 morty clear next week

[exotic herald]

lvl 119 Morty

[drifting cargo]

An excuse to use Morty means an excuse to use Lilliebee

||Or it would be, if BP Janine didnt do that job better :/||

[woeful imp]

BP Janine is probably the perfect pair for Morty atm

[drifting cargo]

You know when you intentionally use “weaker” gen pool units as to not outshine a unit you’re trying to test out?

||I was using Blaine and he outshined Lodge Calem ||

[subtle oyster]

Kalos got shafted sadly

[drifting cargo]

Not exactly, Blaine is just that good

His nuke did 15k with 0 sync buffs and 23k with 1

[exotic herald]

Kanto > Kalos

[fathom oracle]

!

[woeful imp]

oop

[fathom oracle]

I wonder how cause my Calem one shots sides

[candid mural]

[drifting cargo]

I want to see that

[drifting cargo]

I love SS Hau

[exotic herald]

egg

[subtle oyster]

I admire hau dedicated you are to making him work.

[noble hornet]

[drifting cargo]

Dedicated? I did this first try

[drifting cargo]

Here are the next 10 clears for LG11!

[subtle oyster]

hot damn hugh solo

[drifting cargo]

It was pretty easy, he didn’t even die once

[exotic herald]

Omg its HJasmine!

[woeful imp]

Kali solo

[drifting cargo]

I can’t get SC Ingo + Tech Exegg to duo steel

Saving this for later #1012311116778586182 message

[drifting cargo]

I am now going to cry

[royal steeple]

Just like me fr Did you get super close only to get shut out by some random crit?

[drifting cargo]

No

I am going to cry again

[drifting cargo]

Basically i got this amazing run where everything went right for the final phase, but i used a move on SC Ingo after hypnosis, breaking the sleep chain, so i died on bar 2

[royal steeple]

[drifting cargo]

The goal is to build up enough sync buffs and stuff so that i do most of the 2nd HP bar with Ingo’s nuke, and then prepare for the third bar with Quick attacks (to finish off bar 2 and grant sure crit) to destroy bar 3

I’ll just throw in strike kakuna to tank in emergency

Crying 3

Note to self: farm 14 sync buffs

[royal steeple]

[candid mural]

14

[exotic herald]

[woeful imp]

holy fuck

does SC Ingo really need fourteen sync buffs to oneshot a bar 💀

what does this say about SC Ingo

[drifting cargo]

Well he has +0 attack and no crit and the enemy has phys shield

Oh and i didn’t set bug zone

I had to skip mad strength to get follow through

[woeful imp]

maybe you should reconsider doing that clear entirely then

going critless on regi is nightmare fuel

[royal steeple]

[drifting cargo]

It was pretty simple as long as i make no mistakes

Besides, i can crit 3 times

[exotic herald]

[drifting cargo]

Wait i havent posted my cs clears yet

[royal steeple]

Chezei theme?

[drifting cargo]

Well, i did them already, i just havent posted them

[royal steeple]

Oh

[drifting cargo]

Lodge Marnie vs Poison Weak Marshal!

||Why is her sync innate based on accuracy drops ||

Heck yeah, I spelt Marshal correctly on the first try

[woeful imp]

Her innate is based on accuracy drops?

Blaine vs Fire Weak Grimsley! Ft Lodge Calem

Nanu + Marnie vs Dark Weak Caitlin

||I forgot to turn off no interference for Nanu’s nuke ||

SS N brutally destroys Ice Weak Shauntal!
Because why not

Brawly + MCobalion vs Fighting Weak Iris! I love defence drops

October 16 Unova CSMM 12.5K point clears! Just trying out damage dealers that I don’t use often, and SS N since there’s a half sync stage that I need to murder

[noble hornet]

Woa I haven't seen power trip Marnie in a while

[exotic herald]

Nuke Brawly so real

[noble hornet]

Nuke lodge marnie too

[golden bolt]

calem nuking? :O

[frozen comet]

blaine very well could be the nuke

[drifting cargo]

Blaine is the nuke, yeah ^

[drifting cargo]

I feel so dumb, i had grand plans for mirror coat wallace and even researched into the archetype only to remember that it only works against special attacking opponents

[royal steeple]

[woeful imp]

[candid mural]

[drifting cargo]

Ooh, I just had a fantastic idea to use

[fathom oracle]

Wallace gaming

[drifting cargo]

It worked really well!

[royal steeple]

[fresh void]

||Max Flare|| gaming?

[drifting cargo]

||-6 CD for nukes|| gaming

[fresh void]

oh ok

actually if I had enough ||Dynamax units|| then pairing together units that have the same ||Max move|| could be a fun theme

[exotic herald]

[drifting cargo]

||I was using NC Bede + Archer for Gordie. With all the sync accel they get a turn 1 sync ||

[drifting cargo]

Ooh next month looks very cool!
||I’ll definitely pick up Penny and probably pick up Anabel||

[drifting cargo]

Finally

||That sync didn’t kill but 2 more confusions did||

LG11 Clears 21-30! Probably some of my last, I’m too lazy to go much further, and I have a decent amount of now

No Ex shauna

rare Spring May have spotted

[royal steeple]

Ooh I wonder if Spring May can solo

[candid mural]

the Caitlin solo

[exotic herald]

no crit or debuff

[royal steeple]

Who needs crit when you can miss High Jump Kick

[exotic herald]

[subtle oyster]

Excuse me I wanna say what the fuck @ Battle 26

How did Glacia solo

Did you get the CS Glacia

[royal steeple]

Oh wait wtf I missed that

How does Glacia solo anything

[exotic herald]

Askually it is an easy solo

Just get spdef and eva buffs

[noble hornet]

Glacia solo ?

Doesn't she have sub 200 defenses

[exotic herald]

Loltios is a clown tho

[drifting cargo]

Yeah it is really easy lmao

[drifting cargo]

It’s so annoying when you get evasion buffs cause then draco meteor misses

[drifting cargo]

Doesn’t matter when she constantly raises them and can synchro heal

[noble hornet]

I'll have to take your word for it

[drifting cargo]

https://youtu.be/H7hYejNvkWg?si=Q0EaQ3_jGQG_czcy

[exotic herald]

Dont underestimate the ice lady

[royal steeple]

Can't underestimate her if she sucks

[exotic herald]

:GlaciaGun:

[noble hornet]

Emote fail, opinion invalid

[noble hornet]

So true honestly

[woeful imp]

y'all aren't aware Glacia can solo?

the Glacia solo vs Latios is pretty easy

[noble hornet]

Do I strike you for someone who is up to date with who can solo an LG stage

[woeful imp]

there was this Sporcle quiz Mael made that wants you to list all Latios solos and I scored very well, only missed 3 or 4 units I think

(can't find the quiz anymore, Mael where is it? )

[noble hornet]

This is quite impressive

[woeful imp]

oh i found it. Doesn't seem like it's updated though

wait how do i hyperlink again

[noble hornet]

the text

you only need the <> if it's an external link, can drop if it's a discord link

[woeful imp]

correction, i checked my stats and it was the Tapu Bulu solo quiz that i did 98% on (missing 3 units). for the Latios quiz I scored 93%

[noble hornet]

[drifting cargo]

Time to post my CS clears!

[royal steeple]

[drifting cargo]

(I did them on Wednesday, so its not a chezei theme )

EX Shauntal + EVictor + FAllister vs Ghost Weak Shauntal!
Her EX is nice and all but I don’t always get the opportunity to sync with her

[candid mural]

You didn’t have to honest and we wouldn’t have known

[drifting cargo]

1/5 Steven vs Steel Weak Grimsley! Is Steven the worst Poké Fair at 1/5?

||Ignore the music, I totally didn’t give up trying sync nuke Thorton ||

EX Bianca vs Psychic Weak Marshal!
I always see Zinfogel dodge tanking with Falkner and denials so I wanted to try it out myself. I’m not the greatest at it, but it worked

[drifting cargo]

Hapu vs Ground Weak Phoebe! Why does it feel like literally everyone uses this Hapu team

[candid mural]

Waiting for those Hapu 3k clears

[drifting cargo]

Probably still possible, since I use her in Zone
Bugsy clears should also be easy if I use Zone, but it seems redundant when I could just nuke with 4/5 SC Ingo instead

[exotic herald]

Where Aurochs ping

[drifting cargo]

Gordie super duper sync accel vs Rock Weak Alder!
I love the sync accel sfx

[drifting cargo]

They’ll notice later

[candid mural]

Don’t forget to send one to Tai 2..

[drifting cargo]

Oct 23 Unova CSMM 12.5K point clears!
No theme in particular, just use units I wanted to use, as usual
Scroll up to see the clear videos

Unless I forget next week, I’ll probably be doing 15k point clears

[exotic herald]

Hapu casually being carried

[woeful imp]

Finally, nuke Hapu

Whenever I see Hapu showcases I only see DPS

[drifting cargo]

https://tenor.com/view/hapu-hapu-pokemon-pokemon-celery-solace-gif-27198012

[frozen comet]

@glossy magnet !!!! hapu clear !!!

[frozen comet]

kek 1 brain cell

[glossy magnet]

Happpuuu

It's never the case that literally everyone uses a Hapu team

[frozen comet]

who would use hapu anyway

[subtle oyster]

Because she's such a grounded sync pair to use.

[noble hornet]

Carrying* you mean

[noble hornet]

No Steven EX

[drifting cargo]

I severely overestimated 3k CSMM
I brought stronger teams than what I normally use, but they’ve been too easy

[frozen comet]

3k is easy

like, piss easy

[drifting cargo]

Maybe I’ll be able to use Bugsy as normal

[exotic herald]

Until you do offtype with junky teams for themed run

Speaking from experience

[glossy magnet]

Remember when it was 1.5k?

[fresh void]

I only ever played in the 2K era onwards but I still miss the 2K era

[subtle oyster]

I remember being intimidated out of trying 1.5k the first time because I got my butt kicked when I used my main team.

[royal steeple]

I remember doing my first 1.5K and I was already thinking about doing goofy themes

[candid mural]

CS points has doubled since I started playing 2+ years ago..

[royal steeple]

you're right

DeNA where are our free 100 points No Field and No Sprint params

[drifting cargo]

CS points have [error]ed since I started playing 3+ years ago

[woeful imp]

this

3k is piss easy until you start doing challenges

[noble hornet]

Yep

[glossy magnet]

Has anyone with EX Hop done a solo? The jump to 10k killed non-EX striker Skyla and the jump to 12.5k hurt Hop solos a lot.

[woeful imp]

according to the solo doc, Hop has 3 solos

[glossy magnet]

We gonna have to redo the whole doc ☠️

[royal steeple]

More solos!

[drifting cargo]

Didn’t feel like recording but I saw Dreamy trying Paulo + SSD and I wanted to try it too (3k points with -2 CD param)

(Turn 1 sync, Paulo is 1/5 without RolEX, SSD is 1/5, Emmet is 3/5. Paulo has HS1, Emmet is WW3, Diantha is CS2)
Might record later, this was insanely fun

[exotic herald]

[drifting cargo]

Ngl kinda want to Rolex or pull for Dupes (when he reruns) on Paulo

[noble hornet]

Mix scout!

[deep kelp]

i'm curious to see the video too

but yes anything with Paulo in it is fun innit

[drifting cargo]

I’m trying right now but quadqueue is hard

1/5 Paulo + 1/5 SS Diantha + 3/5 Emmet offtype 3k pts Poison Weak Marshal!
I love sync accel. Hopefully I get dupes of SS Diantha while pulling for Anabel

[exotic herald]

[fathom oracle]

my 1/5 gloria was hitting this hard against Iris maybe it was the round param oh wait no def debuffs

[drifting cargo]

I’m guessing you had a supp EX too

[fathom oracle]

ye

perhaps its about time I 5/5 her

that team seems super fun I really want paulo but how would you say his tanking is overall

[drifting cargo]

Who needs to tank when the enemy only gets to use 2 attacks
||It’s alright, but I’d imagine that the Supp EXrole helps a lot||

[fathom oracle]

I see

[drifting cargo]

I’ll post my weekly clears eventually, but apart from that, Aurochs will no longer be ashamed of me!

[exotic herald]

[noble hornet]

sycamore solo? full eggmon run?

[candid mural]

Unless aurochs likes coffee

[noble hornet]

What will satisfy Aurochs

[exotic herald]

non EX and unevolved pairs

[candid mural]

You have some level 1 sync pairs

[exotic herald]

[candid mural]

[drifting cargo]

The former

Sycamore solo 2.5k pts Grass Weak Grimsley

I can’t stop laughing, everything sounds so funny sped up
||Could someone react with the sycamore plush emote||

@glossy magnet are you finally proud of me

[noble hornet]

[candid mural]

[glossy magnet]

Winston, I hearby grant you the lauded title of Teacher (Helper)

How many attempts was this

lol you've gridded quick cure

Arch take notes

[subtle oyster]

Idk why but Grimsley saying this is it so many times and not killing Xerneas is so funny.

And then Sycamore saying "you got this!!!" as if to cheer Grimsley on

[drifting cargo]

Like 3-4
Every lost attempt was because of Ttar’s Rock Slide flinch

[subtle oyster]

Also oof the Rock Slide flinch

Do they have aggravation or something

[drifting cargo]

Every enemy secretly has aggravation

[glossy magnet]

All CS rock slide opponents have aggravation

[fathom oracle]

Enemies have build in aggravation

[fathom oracle]

So true!

[woeful imp]

if it's round 1 then yeah they practically have aggravation
