Maelmc's clears

[deft glacier]

gordie is ex

i ex'd him lol

without ex you still need cheren to survive until bar 3 somehow, farm your sync and then sync into max move or the opposite

[analog kayak]

I will definitely need some info on the move order for this bs

[deft glacier]

you plan on doing it ?

it'll be in a video anyway if you want it for a future gauntlet

[analog kayak]

for sure

That mean I'd have to do it w/out a video reference

[deft glacier]

i can uuuh

upload it dw

unlisted

[analog kayak]

If you choose to, I got to do it w/out textual info as well

[deft glacier]

it's uploading

https://youtu.be/kSz8N8FM5bg?si=BIJQg_JEF9HVelmp

[green cloud]

Secret video

[deft glacier]

i'll have like 60 runs to upload

maybe i should do 2 videos instead of just 1

[deft glacier]

Normal type eating good this month

[analog kayak]

Stealing11 (1/5 Cheren, Gordie EX, Tech Parasect on Torn)

I just realized that I alr used tech parasect

eyyyy I was wondering where I would put 1/5 Colress

[deft glacier]

lol

[deft glacier]

3k CS, that was easy

Didnt even change my parameters between stages except physical/special damage reduc

[deft glacier]

Fuck it I stop there

Cant get my 110th with what I wanted so whatever

[vague merlin]

well done!

[deft glacier]

I have so many good supports left it's painful

But Lysandre doesnt want to survive bar 3 Latios so I will not bother

[neon sapphire]

i wish you could be in the leaderboard

[deft glacier]

I dont have the units for that

Quite literally, I dont have enough units

[neon sapphire]

how many pairs do you have?

[deft glacier]

Willing to bet all leaderboard people are either early players or dolphins/whales

301 iirc

Yeah 301, but that's taking into account all the shitty units and the eggs

I guess I can go all out with my remaining units

[neon sapphire]

[deft glacier]

Ok I did it

Except I didnt record

[vague merlin]

i have 289 units (both eggmons and non eggs)

[lofty bone]

||I only have 336 non-eggs, I don't think it's enough ||

[vague merlin]

yeah i don't think it's enough either, maybe you should pull on that mix scout for 1 extra unit

[lusty crown]

so true

[lofty bone]

Good idea, it'll help me for the next LG

[vague merlin]

will you actually tryhard LG if you pull mix red?

[lofty bone]

No but one of these days, when I have time, I will tryhard LG

[vague merlin]

"one of these days" the best time to tryhard LG is now, this is the easiest rotation we've had in a long while

[lusty crown]

doesn't it end like very soon

[lofty bone]

Yeah, and I'm busy with Halloween working a lot

[vague merlin]

which is why i'm pessimistic chezei will ever try hard

imagine chezei on the leaderboard...

if i had her roster i would NOT shut up in my LG stage clears

[lusty crown]

Next LG

Unless it has cresellia and moltres

[lofty bone]

As long as it takes place after the holidays

[neon sapphire]

Chez have you got to 10 wins yet

[lofty bone]

[lusty crown]

That would be 1 more than me

[neon sapphire]

[deft glacier]

at least reach 10

for all the rewards

[lusty crown]

Oh I did reach 10, I've been resetting for cookies

[deft glacier]

ah lol

planned all my remaining supports

[lusty crown]

What does the darker colour on the first couple rows mean?

[deft glacier]

it's just to mark where i was planning

[lusty crown]

ahh right

[deft glacier]

I double checked all my remaining units

I technically have 1 paralyser left

strike raichu

I will try something with it

[deft glacier]

Man

Ok so it's official my theoretical final streak is 131

[lusty crown]

Is that striker raichu 30% paralysis 70 accuracy

oh it has piercing gaze

[deft glacier]

oh yeah i forgot that

i used x accuracy all turn 1 lol

[neon sapphire]

Omg we are near to each other

[deft glacier]

9 runs left

[analog kayak]

@deft glacier For reference, EMisty, Strike Raichu, Support Golbat works

WHY DISCORD SCROLL PLEASAE

[deft glacier]

i can't seem to use lillie lodge against latios

ok got it

[analog kayak]

SSBlue, TLLillie works against Torn

[deft glacier]

my man

im at the end of my streak

i have nothing left

[analog kayak]

hey I don't see TLLillie here

[deft glacier]

because she's not a support

[analog kayak]

hmmm perhaps TLLillie would work nice for Dawn on Torn

[deft glacier]

i did bp erika supp clefable

[analog kayak]

I never seen a Dawn duo on Torn before so

[deft glacier]

on latios

[analog kayak]

dang

[deft glacier]

with lodge lillie

not just that duo

lol

[analog kayak]

ik but that's still p impressive

[deft glacier]

Just did my last tornadus

I have 4 runs left

maybe i can do a random bullshit go on tornadus for a last clutch clear after that

but i don't think so ahah

[deft glacier]

I AM DONE WOOOOOOOOH

Units left
Guzma, Lusamine, Flannery, BP Candice, May
Eggs left
Arcanine, Fuecoco, Ninetales, Sandslash, Lapras, Magneton, Perrserker, Blastoise

[analog kayak]

@deft glacier Am I correct to assume that your streak is blocked by Tornadus?

[deft glacier]

well yeah

[analog kayak]

I wonder if there's a new para unit that's coming out

nope apparently not... rip

[neon sapphire]

[vague merlin]

no way, just how much did you grind while i was asleep

congrats!

[thorn nymph]

damn congratz on the 131 streaks!

i swear you were at 50 like 2 days ago wtf

[deft glacier]

now we play the waiting game

I'm still on the leaderboard but I'm so close from leaving it lol

[deft glacier]

https://youtu.be/QuBI7DEX2NM

[green cloud]

This is what I said but with “13th”

[deft glacier]

EZ 15k

[wind sparrow]

Easy
Primarily features top tiers Inchresting

[deft glacier]

yeah i just wanted to gauge the actual difficulty of 15k

i didn't even change parameters between rounds

[green cloud]

It’s all special damage reduction

[deft glacier]

LG11 final rank

Units left
Guzma, Lusamine, Flannery, BP Candice, May
Eggs left
Arcanine, Fuecoco, Ninetales, Sandslash, Lapras, Magneton, Perrserker, Blastoise

[lofty bone]

[neon sapphire]

[deft glacier]

That mix banner looks so good

Asking myself if I should spend some of my gems in it

I have 11k paid, which means 3 3k select, but Im left with 2k

[vague merlin]

👏

[grave walrus]

I'd never consider it unless there was a focus I'd want

I'll probably throw a couple dailies here n there because it carries over anyway, but only 3-4 per month at most

30k paids to pity

Being 6 months long it also means you're better off saving for 3-5 selects in meantime

[deft glacier]

that's what i'm saying

with 11k i have 3 selects and 2k left that can't do shit

[deft glacier]

Got mix red lmfao

[lusty crown]

same

[green cloud]

Run him with SS Leaf

Hmm you could genuinely clear with a 3 Venasaur team

[lusty crown]

gauges

[green cloud]

Fast track 2

[deft glacier]

Ah yes, SS Leaf, definitely a unit I have

[green cloud]

Just pity it from the banner

[deft glacier]

Lol

If I ever get to pity on that banner
1st I spent way too much on the game
2nd I'm picking a better unit

[lofty bone]

Imagine not already planning to pity the banner

[lusty crown]

don't you have like all the units already

[green cloud]

Better than a general solo unit?

[lofty bone]

I'm missing like 30!

[deft glacier]

Wdym a general solo unit

Idc about CS and for LG she needs like 4/5 5/5

[deft glacier]

no i wont candy a trash 2020 unit

[vague merlin]

Trash 2020 unit jumpscare

[deft glacier]

[grave walrus]

Hey hey don't say that, she can carry stall like no other unit

[deft glacier]

i dont care about toxic stall

[grave walrus]

Eh, I still like running her whenever I'm not running SC Sonia or Rosa

It's funny

[grave walrus]

🥹

[deft glacier]

Eh

I dont need another grass dps

[jovial ridge]

Grass HS in shambles

[deft glacier]

brendan, adaman, ss erika, ss lyra, and surely there would be a poison one that lodge syca is good on

so i'm good

[grave walrus]

Yeah understandable

I just like her

🥹

[deft glacier]

smh smh

[deft glacier]

Got him 2/5

Wtf

[neon sapphire]

So you are the one stole my luck

[lofty bone]

[deft glacier]

I wanted to try some 2/5 solos but I guess I won't

[neon sapphire]

Chez take that back

[lofty bone]

I haven't gotten anything from the mix banner yet!

[deft glacier]

luck issue

<- will not get elaine because he used all his luck

[neon sapphire]

Wait for 3/5 tomorrow

[deft glacier]

No i'm not pulling more

I used the 2k paid i wanted to use

Now I have 9k paid left which is 3 selects so im fine

[neon sapphire]

Ah i see

[deft glacier]

yeah i was in an awkward situation before, with 11k gems

mix banner kinda fixed it lol

[grave walrus]

Hyped for ball guy 2?

[thorn nymph]

#1010277884922953830 message

[grave walrus]

I see

[neon sapphire]

quick, Mael, record a 2/5 Mixed showcase!

[thorn nymph]

This is also the case for your thread Gakon especially as you're the main offender that sparked this rule in the first place, so i please ask that you refrain from discusing gachas in your clear threads unless you're actively showcasing something (image or video), thank you.

[neon sapphire]

please warn me before i go too far next times

[deft glacier]

https://youtu.be/zW1FOeXhF1Q

finally done with uploading my runs

Now I calculated, I am guaranteed to get Elaine, tho it might cost me paid gems if I have to pity, but the moment I get her expect some gaming

[deft glacier]

https://youtu.be/2z94ZYojvlA

[deft glacier]

https://youtu.be/j3AT_0JuZbw

Is this enough Mix Red showcase for your likings

[wind sparrow]

I got happy thinking it was SSLeaf

[deft glacier]

I don't have SS Leaf

and unless they give her for free i'll probably never get her

[limber wadi]

Who did you get from the VicRoad ticket?

[deft glacier]

blue

i had none of them before that

[jovial ridge]

Mix Red is the SS Leaf at home

[deft glacier]

and i still only have blue from victory road

[deft glacier]

ss leaf but better*

[jovial ridge]

[deft glacier]

Wanted to try him on CS 3k

Gave him basic f2p units as supports and he destroyed

[deft glacier]

That sure is a team uh

I was expecting other champions to be boosted

[neon sapphire]

Caitlin getting 1.4x boost despite not appearing in the event

[deft glacier]

really

<- did not watch the story because he doesn't care

[deft glacier]

This might as well be the weirdest CS I've ever done

[lusty crown]

The random egg dewgong in there is really funny

[deft glacier]

i didnt want to change fast track for cs2

with cs2 i solo

[vague merlin]

why do you have fast track on red latios solo or sumn

[deft glacier]

sumn ?

[lusty crown]

Something

[deft glacier]

but yeah i have fast track for the latios solo lol

[vague merlin]

i did latios solo with cs2 because i didn't want to give him fast track

[deft glacier]

how much/5 is yours tho

[vague merlin]

3/5

[deft glacier]

yeah

[vague merlin]

[deft glacier]

I'm thinking of doing off type 4k

for the funny

[vague merlin]

[deft glacier]

Maybe I'm not doing that

[limber wadi]

Special Up Moves Next

[lofty bone]

60k nuke and he went barely below half

[compact palm]

[grave walrus]

Is that 4k?

Or 4.5

[deft glacier]

4k

[grave walrus]

Mhhhh

Ah blue is 2/5

That explains some parts

[deft glacier]

doesn't change anything tho

the damage wouldn't be better at 3/5

[grave walrus]

Mhhh

[deft glacier]

ok so
either i do 4k with on type allowed, or i do like 3.5k off type

what do you guys think

[lofty bone]

how much easier would 3.5k be?

[deft glacier]

removing 5 of strength kek

im pretty much at max hp max strength and some attack rn

[lofty bone]

Surely removing HP would be easier though

[deft glacier]

Well... see by yourself (in some minutes)

I removed 5 of strength

[lofty bone]

Wow, I wasn't expecting them to survive the sync

[deft glacier]

Me neither

the thing is, this might as well be my best team, and it was already quite the struggle

[lofty bone]

Oof, that's not exactly ideal

[deft glacier]

my grass team has ss lyra so that's a free win ig, then uuh i have water with nc kalos + either archie or ss lysandre depending on if i do it round 4 or not (if round 4 then prob lysandre otherwise archie for longer rain)

[green cloud]

Try on not-Lance

[deft glacier]

Yeah that didnt go as expected

[lusty crown]

4k Off-type?

[deft glacier]

3.5k

since that's what i did on the previous run

[lusty crown]

Hmm lemi see if I can try something

[deft glacier]

but archie's dps is ridiculously low off type

[lusty crown]

Serena's not able to push it through?

[deft glacier]

well see how much HP bruno lost lol

...wait bruno has impervious bruh

[vague merlin]

no ss lysandre?

[vague merlin]

yeah...

[lusty crown]

LOL

[neon sapphire]

Bruno is annoying

do you have other Water nukers who are not named Cerena and May?

[vague merlin]

maybe get a nuker that doesn't rely on stat debuffs even though a LOT of tech nukers rely on stat debuffs...

[deft glacier]

no

[neon sapphire]

sleep hax then

[lusty crown]

Cerena the absolute goat

[deft glacier]

all that i will remember from that fight is that archie tanked drill peck

[lusty crown]

Caught me off guard too ngl

[neon sapphire]

[deft glacier]

rain gear 2 gaming

[neon sapphire]

not even 5/5, fake Serena fan smh

[deft glacier]

lol

once master fairs get an expansion maybe

[lusty crown]

Serena casually hitting 98k offtype 3.5k

[neon sapphire]

Arch said the same thing in my thread in the same time

[lusty crown]

[deft glacier]

anyway

i now have a bruno problem

[lusty crown]

Champ Marnie, the rats, NC Red, Zerena. Any of those available? Don't need debuffing

[deft glacier]

no, used, 1/5 lol, my man i may be a serena fan there's no fucking way she 3.5k off types kek

[lusty crown]

Could possibly with support cake and 2 syncs

[deft glacier]

i will try i guess

[lusty crown]

But that AoE is harsh if you've got no one else

[vague merlin]

zerena 3k offtyped with ease but i'm not sure about 3.5k. with rolex and zone, maybe

[neon sapphire]

Zerena's most common partners are weak to Fighting lol (Lucas and uh Redlax? )

have fun

[deft glacier]

redlax useless off type

and besides i dont have him

[neon sapphire]

his sync accel is still useful!

ah oof

[deft glacier]

Ok I may have a strategy

emphasis on may

you know powercreep has gone a long way when you want to say that Lucas of all units doesn't have a good enough sync

[vague merlin]

lucas and ss brendan for me

[lusty crown]

That's my Zerena team too

Can be a lil tough with gauge if Brendan doesn't proc enough Freevenge

[deft glacier]

me too but impervious bruno

[lusty crown]

I thought that was going to be a successful clear

[deft glacier]

Lucas is just too weak

I guess I can do sleep cheese

But that's boring

[lusty crown]

I'm stealing your theme for this week pleasantly surprised to see Palmer breeze through 3.5k

[deft glacier]

...wait

I have Palmer

except I suck at using him lol

i hate how they made crush grip

[lusty crown]

Yea the scaling is kinda shit, is yours 1/5? Should still be doable because I didn't even get to 2nd sync or use my max move

[deft glacier]

3/5

ex

kek

[lusty crown]

Oh that should he sweet sailing then

[deft glacier]

except i already struggled to use him
at 2k

so 3.5k uuuuuuh

[lusty crown]

if you have other PMUN sources it's easier

SC Steven/SS Acerola/Argenta

[deft glacier]

in any case I need to beat Bruno's ass first

because impervious

[lusty crown]

Oh right

Cringe

[neon sapphire]

Stalling time

[deft glacier]

not getting rafa'd time*

i think i have a strat

[rigid delta]

Just put HPHPHP
Always high damage till low % 🙈

[lusty crown]

HP ftw fr

[deft glacier]

my man

im max hp max strength

and almost max attack

[grave walrus]

Impervious moment

[rigid delta]

That sounds like some tough hours

[deft glacier]

I think I need to reset

well i'll try toxic stall before

but i might need to use my grass team on bruno

nvm got it

[jovial ridge]

[deft glacier]

quite the ridiculous clear

Candy'd Red for that, idk if it was really needed in the end but it's not a waste anyway so whatever

[wind sparrow]

How did Calem die

[deft glacier]

scroll down a bit

[wind sparrow]

I still don’t know how did you have like supp damage x3

[deft glacier]

nop

thunder doing numbers

PoH 3 + max strength + lot of attack + +4 SpA

Calem is bulky but not that much bulky

• lowered SpD round

[jovial ridge]

Hope you didn’t need to candy a fire unit for HS

[deft glacier]

I don't care about HS

[jovial ridge]

[deft glacier]

180k points and that's it

Me when G Giga Impact deals 66k to Blue (it's not nearly enough to one shot)

[deft glacier]

I take it

[wind sparrow]

Simply avoid smh

[deft glacier]

ah yes avoid thunder under rain

[wind sparrow]

Yes

[grave walrus]

Why SC zinnia specifically?

[deft glacier]

100 free points from stealing stats, 100 free points from not using a support, and 70% flinch

[grave walrus]

Mhhhh I guess

[wind sparrow]

This looked easy but I imagine it wasn’t(?)

[deft glacier]

nah it was easy

the only problem is reset for turn 1

if blue hits zinnia turn 1 she dies so reset for a dodge or blue to use x attack all

[deft glacier]

@neon sapphire @lusty crown

didnt even max Devasation because of stupid Outsmart

[neon sapphire]

I got summoned here

Lol

Op chus

[deft glacier]

chu did pretty much nothing !!!

[neon sapphire]

[lusty crown]

Oh shit was not expecting those numbers

[deft glacier]

4* non ex kek

[green cloud]

3* debuffers have wild nukes

[lusty crown]

I was so confused why your non EX was doing this much and my EX'd was capping at 72k then realised I forgot to grid him

[neon sapphire]

[deft glacier]

Lmfao

[deft glacier]

What a fire roster

Flannery will be pain without Supp EX

[neon sapphire]

i beat Flannery without EX support 250 strengh tho

[deft glacier]

This HS sucks im almost tempted to just skip it

but the rewards are too good

I literally don't know how to beat Flannery

I don't have any good fire dps, only good fire syncs

[green cloud]

lrn2play

[deft glacier]

[neon sapphire]

try Silver then

worked like a charm

[deft glacier]

died like a charm

on 1st sync

[green cloud]

Try not dying

[deft glacier]

250 strength

[green cloud]

250 should be enough to hit 180k

[neon sapphire]

sounds like skill issue

i didnt even use skill gears

maybe you havent max theme skills?

[deft glacier]

all my theme skills from all my units are maxed

[deft glacier]

sounds like hs issue

oh you don't have the right fire types ? well fuck you you can't play the event
worst event ever

[jovial ridge]

[neon sapphire]

gotta hype for Fairy HS

[jovial ridge]

i'll be ready for that one too

[vague merlin]

high score really shows major disparity between the haves and have nots

[jovial ridge]

every new event has encouraged a wider roster, so that's not surprising. dena are a for profit company after all

[deft glacier]

No there's wide roster, and specific roster

You can play LG with a wide roster
You can play CS with a wide roster
You can't play HS with a wide roster, you need a specific roster

literally prestige, except it's not limited to just 1 unit ig

[vague merlin]

it's not limited to one unit but some fights are clearly crafted for certain units and it SHOWS

as is the case with water HS

i kinda regret not trying harder for water HS, water is my best type, but even then i couldn't really compete

[deft glacier]

i'm glad i got the medal on water, because i certainly don't want to get it for any other type

[jovial ridge]

its always gonna be like that, including whatever new CS region we'll get, etc etc. i'm always gonna be a couple units short with these type HS events

[vague merlin]

that's fair

yknow if i want to look at how much veterans can struggle with HS, i just look at Tai

man did 50 streaks last LG but has zero limited fire types

[deft glacier]

there's a reason they started with water
we have a dozillion of water units

so everyone went like "oooh hs is fun oooh"

not seeing what was comming

[vague merlin]

we're going downhill from here!

[deft glacier]

That event sucks

[lusty crown]

[vague merlin]

@ Tai

[deft glacier]

im trying my best to get points

[vague merlin]

what are your current teams

not like i can help anyway, i only just planned my teams a few minutes ago and honestly i have no clue what i'm doing

[deft glacier]

currently at 173,366

[deft glacier]

btw this are my fire units, + all eggs

[lusty crown]

You can push for a little higher on the Chili team but it's like really RNG heavy

Kiawe needs to get a couple MPRs on potion and they need to chill with their big moves

[deft glacier]

I already pushed chili, rn i'd prefer to increase flint

but liiiiiike

fire units where

[lusty crown]

ah ouch no SS Red either?

[deft glacier]

ss who

[green cloud]

Literally 4 fire limiteds

[deft glacier]

technically 5

lodge irida, event blue, ss may, anni n, glorialt

but blue is useless, irida is just flinch and burn not really damage, may and n are 1/5

at least gloria came in clutch on flannery ig

[vague merlin]

i hate how a lot of units are overly reliant on being ontype

this bothered me too with water HS

like... arcablue, please... put in some work

[lusty crown]

Lodge Calem:

[deft glacier]

Ok I wanted to try to save Evelyn on Flannery by using Flannery instead, expecting to lose a bit of points in the process but so I can use Evelyn instead of SS Blue

turns out I gained 400 points lol

[green cloud]

Just candy them smdh

[deft glacier]

That sucked, anyway

[vague merlin]

didn't know they're giving feathers now

[deft glacier]

they give the good feathers too

[vague merlin]

well at least they're not grindable... i think? the way you grind with long LG streaks

[deft glacier]

yeah

[lusty crown]

The grindable ones are still just the lame yellow ones

Well "grindable"

[deft glacier]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D2p8kpM8fo

[thorn nymph]

bro is in the future

[jovial ridge]

I mean, Mael is technically in a future time zone from me

[limber wadi]

But mael and dreamy are in the same timezone

[jovial ridge]

…I got nothing

[deft glacier]

I don't want this future to be real

or they give more parameters

that sucked

[thorn nymph]

idt they will either

it's lazy as fuck and 3k is already reaching the limit of what most casual players can register

[deft glacier]

idk what parameters they could add anyway besides field and sprint dmg x3

sync damage reduction 8 ????

more free points for toxic stall lol

[limber wadi]

Is that really a problem though

As long as the rewards continue to be this bad it’s not like players will be losing out on much. CS is supposed to be an endgame mode

If LG and HS provide puny rewards after the main point I don’t see why CS can’t

[thorn nymph]

yes it's not, i reckon a lot of players are straight up skipping CS the same way they're skipping LG/HS
or doing CS without too many points or points at all

[deft glacier]

the increase of point helps whales EXing more units

since they're lacking spirits and not

[limber wadi]

As long as they’re doing 4k or 7.5k points, they should be doing fine

[green cloud]

And people still wouldn't use it

[lofty bone]

I would if I wanted to 2v3 burn stall again

[vague merlin]

sync damage reduction 8 and DPS damage reduction 8

[vague merlin]

those whales don't need help to 3k. at least i hope they don't. (i've seen cases proving the contrary)

[lusty crown]

[rigid delta]

Did they add these parameters?!

[lusty crown]

Unfortunately not

[vague merlin]

Soon. That's what the 5 hour maintenance is for. Trust me dena works at my uncle

[deft glacier]

Lol

[deft glacier]

Who's ready to beat a 2nd Entei's ass

[lofty bone]

[deft glacier]

I am so ready to have to do it beginner friendly

[lofty bone]

[jovial ridge]

Entei:
Us:

[vague merlin]

Idk man, this Entei vs LA Entei is like that smol vs buff doggo meme

[limber wadi]

[deft glacier]

[silver remnant]

Welp, I guess I'll just leave these gemsᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

My water type sync pairs are crying rn

[green cloud]

Hey it's me

[grave walrus]

I mean with enough broken pairs offtype is possible

I did Anabel first try with the most "silly" team I could think pf

[silver remnant]

Do you think a person who plays 1 year has "OP pairs" Like Ash and such?

The only champion I have is Calem

[grave walrus]

I mean

Some of the people who started on Anni 3 did it for rats so

Anyway, I skipped ash so

[silver remnant]

My friend with almost every champion can't beat Anabel, so idk

[grave walrus]

[silver remnant]

I would not say that making this boss almost impossible is a good game design choice

[grave walrus]

I got burn rng'd twice by heat wave and still won with dummy aaaaah ice team

[silver remnant]

Like this game is demanding for you to use only OP MF's

[grave walrus]

Well it's for a single's worth

[silver remnant]

For 300 f'ing gems

I mean it's not a huge loss, but at the same time...

[vague merlin]

It's a permanent game mode, no need to stress

[vague merlin]

Doesn't matter, what matters here is investment

[rigid delta]

Permanent but only 300 gems

Dena really slacking

[thorn nymph]

this isn't worth the effort

[deft glacier]

that stage is ridiculously hard frfr

[vague merlin]

That 60% endure is. Ugh.

Why . Why.

[deft glacier]

can't even flinch like once no it's straight up unflappable

[vague merlin]

Unflappable? I thought it was resilience

Nc blue managed to flinch twice which kinda saved my ass

[deft glacier]

idk it's immune to flinch confusion trap for me

[neon sapphire]

my NC Blue has 0% flinch

[deft glacier]

i tapped once with ss lyra to try

immune to all 3

[vague merlin]

Not that I managed to beat it before Cerena gets taken down from full health due to anabel's +2 crit sync!

[deft glacier]

maybe not the sides

but mid sure is immune

[vague merlin]

Huh. Pretty sure blue managed to flinch all three for me, but i'll check again

[neon sapphire]

[lusty crown]

Yeah the mid isn't immune I don't think, just resilience

[deft glacier]

wait

maybe it's immune under sun ?

solar immunity or smth idk the name of the passive

[neon sapphire]

one of the side has Team Solar Immunity

[vague merlin]

Could be

[vague merlin]

Ah

[rigid delta]

This might be the case because i flinched all three with this team

Triple flinchers

[deft glacier]

pain

so nc calem is straight up useless uh

i have to choose a different rain setter

[rigid delta]

I haven't tried anything else, this was legit my first test run

I saw someone complaining about archie so I just went with this team right away instead of trying archie once lol

[deft glacier]

serena + kris + pretty much any water dps seems to be a win

[rigid delta]

May for extra rain maybe

[deft glacier]

however i don't have kris

[rigid delta]

Ouf

Calem it is for rain then

[deft glacier]

calem can't set rain turn 1, so i die of death

[rigid delta]

You need atleast 2 rains

Oh

True

[deft glacier]

so it's either uuuuh

archie or may

[thorn nymph]

y'all just a reminder you can take these in #1009557516369281075

like fr let others add to it ot participate

[rigid delta]

[grave walrus]

Welcome to "debuff me or perish"

Can't flinch unless he's debuffed enough

Usually two volley of cerena debuffs are enough

But still

Or it's sun

Idr

Thing is

I tried sslyra + Kriss + dojo gloria and that team didn't get remotely close

[deft glacier]

Done

[neon sapphire]

what's your team

[vague merlin]

i keep having to remind myself that y'all have 3/5 cerena. i'm still trying to find a way to make 2/5 cerena work

[neon sapphire]

3/5 NC Blue?

[deft glacier]

2

[neon sapphire]

[deft glacier]

3/5 EX NC Serena, 2/5 EX NC Blue, 5/5 May

[neon sapphire]

what does Blue get at 2/5?

[deft glacier]

bracelette and pin gears are water, bandanna is water/electric with 25 hp/spd, 65 SpA et 2% Attack DR

Nothing interesting for this stage lol

HE2, Gobsmack, Furious Brain & Brainpower

and electric terrain stuff

[neon sapphire]

so nothing game changing from 1/5

i will try again then

also did you sync with May?

[deft glacier]

Just once for mega, 2nd sync

1st with blue for ex supp

[neon sapphire]

thats basically my strat too

i guess all of them have Vigilance except NC Blue

[deft glacier]

why except blue

all of them have vigi lol

team specs
didn't use exactly these grids but they're better

[neon sapphire]

so you ignore burn and wait to heal by B Move?

interesting

[deft glacier]

i mean

the moment i need to heal coincides with the moment i get burned

[grave walrus]

Pretty much

Just pray no random heat wave or blitz burns

[vague merlin]

you gotta be damn unlucky if you get burned by heat wave/blitz

[deft glacier]

^

I got a lucky flinch on my run

that made it so grad heal healed me enough so i barely tank flare blitz and healed after instead of before

[neon sapphire]

alright, i will change back to Vigi

[grave walrus]

It's still insane how I first tried the stage offtype with 3 heat wave burns on irida and struggled 25 mins when using dojo gloria+ kriss ontype until I got close to perfect rng

[deft glacier]

ngl best bet is probably mind games 2 lol

so you also reduce sides SpD

[grave walrus]

Uhhhh yeah sure

[deft glacier]

tho since they also raise it im not sure if it's that efficient

[neon sapphire]

imagine having 2* deluxe

[grave walrus]

I get 10% on my striker all the time

[neon sapphire]

[deft glacier]

iirc may got burned this attempt

after using both roost

ah no she didn't it was a different attempt

[vague merlin]

i got a very good run where blue flinched at very good timings but cerena got crit on sync i'm trying to see if she can live the sync if anabel doesn't crit

which is getting REAL hard with that dire hit+ all!

[deft glacier]

vigi

[vague merlin]

i'm afraid removing CS2 from my 2/5 cerena will be a bigger detriment

also i don't like changing lucky skills for an LG solo, you bet i'm not changing it for a permanent battle

[green cloud]

Cerena will be a support soon, vigilance is thematically appropriate

[vague merlin]

does Mael have a doc that lists all units that can debuff or was that a fever dream of mine

[thorn nymph]

#916852044692856834 pinned here

or /search in #bot-zone

[vague merlin]

is there a way i can use the /search to look for units that can debuff multiple stats (any) or do i have to search manually? i assume the latter

[thorn nymph]

sadly you have to input several stats down (by doing separate searches to add to your search)

or

search by passive like unfortuitous using /passive name although it's not optimal

[vague merlin]

yeah i thought so the doc is what i was looking for though, thanks

[deft glacier]

https://youtu.be/qTlBDoffNms

Also new doc just dropped https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J_Wf9t4ZIOMwdlYEsIzgENDdYCut-AEX0pJiwbcIrVY/edit#gid=0

[deft glacier]

OK i need to find a cs theme where i can use elaine kek

[neon sapphire]

Pairs with Normal moves only

[jovial ridge]

only Normal moves

[neon sapphire]

Hey at least im not evil enough to suggest Normal type only

[deft glacier]

does type shifted normal count

[neon sapphire]

[jovial ridge]

are there even 15 sync pairs with only normal moves

[neon sapphire]

idk, up to you

[deft glacier]

pairs with normal moves only is quite simple, considering nc calem and nc serena work for example kek

[neon sapphire]

Normal moves are fairly common

[deft glacier]

only normal moves is anoter story

[jovial ridge]

you said normal moves only, there's plenty of sync pairs with at least one normal move

but only normal moves might be asking for too much

[lusty crown]

Eve, Elaine & Palmer stonks

[deft glacier]

whitney too, and hugh if i had him 3/5

[deft glacier]

Gaming starts

[deft glacier]

https://youtu.be/6FWREHzkJKY

[neon sapphire]

a girl vs the jetplane and its allies

who would win?

[thorn nymph]

i thought you had the game in JP 💀

[deft glacier]

what

[thorn nymph]

what is she even saying when using her TM?

[deft glacier]

iirc beat down or smth like that, cant really check rn

[thorn nymph]

she has a super pronounced accent and high pitch voice

[deft glacier]

beat them up

[thorn nymph]

i would have never guessed

[deft glacier]

but more like beat 'em up

i think she says that

[thorn nymph]

also damn that heal is smaller than i thought
does 3/5 improve it?

[deft glacier]

5/5 💀

[lofty bone]

What she's saying with her TM sounds like "speeding up" to me

[deft glacier]

no master healer but she has fighting glorialt passive at 5/5

[lusty crown]

I hear this too

[thorn nymph]

that sounds more accurate but you gotta admit "beat 'em up" is hilarious to think about in this context

[lofty bone]

Oh absolutely

[thorn nymph]

but yeah it's def speeding up i can hear it now thanks

[fervent tree]

Eevee Buffs Eevee Buffs!
Beat 'em up beat 'em up beat 'em up beat 'em up!

[wind sparrow]

Eevee crush their soul 💔

[deft glacier]

https://youtu.be/sExDDm6qUNc

[deft glacier]

When I see how much I struggled to beat Bruno with Palmer AND SC Steven, I think I'm not doing normal moves only lol

[grave walrus]

You could've probably turn denialed right at max hp with claw no?

[deft glacier]

with what

[grave walrus]

Grip claw

Ah no right

[deft glacier]

the move's called crush grip lol

[grave walrus]

Gigas' version has a unique name

[deft glacier]

there's no grip claw

[grave walrus]

Yeah I always confuse the item

With the move

Also I'm pretty sure there's another move like crush claw

I just don't remember the name

[neon sapphire]

thats Silvally's signature

[deft glacier]

crush claw's no one signature lol

[neon sapphire]

[deft glacier]

it's just a regular move

[neon sapphire]

woah

[grave walrus]

Ugh

[deft glacier]

not learned by many but still

[grave walrus]

Fucking samey names

[deft glacier]

anyway no it clearly wouldn't have killed

oh wait you mean at this moment ?

eh maybe

[grave walrus]

Yep

As someone who did +20 hp +6 Def 2.5k csmm with him

[deft glacier]

sadly i really don't like how palmer plays i hate how dena nerfed crush grip despite the fact it's normal

[grave walrus]

I could denial right there

How much base hp does Bruno have

17-19k?

[deft glacier]

basic one

[grave walrus]

I mean

I can try a Palmer clear myself with those 3 units

[deft glacier]

3k CS really killed themed runs, uh

[wind sparrow]

Yes

[jovial ridge]

Yup

[limber wadi]

Yea

[neon sapphire]

Yay

[deft glacier]

wdym yay

[lofty bone]

Idk I can still do themes

[deft glacier]

Chezei theme is easy

[lofty bone]

I do more themes than just Chezei theme!

[neon sapphire]

yes

[jovial ridge]

The creative ones are kinda out the window

[vague merlin]

the very ridiculous ones are out of the window. if you can still ontype i guess you're fine with themed clears

like I can still do my VA theme

[lofty bone]

I used year 1 DDs for my 3k offtype clear like two weeks ago smh

[neon sapphire]

im a bit scared with my next week theme

[lusty crown]

Don't be

[deft glacier]

Little preview at this week's theme

[neon sapphire]

the theme is overkill theme?

[deft glacier]

Im not sure yet on how I'll beat lance

[deft glacier]

Ok Agatha's clear was actually really cool ahah

Let him cook

[neon sapphire]

dual strike theme?

that team is screaming for gauge

[deft glacier]

[lofty bone]

Running a Special support with Physical strikers

[deft glacier]

there's only 1 reason i'm running brendan here

you'll see

[neon sapphire]

maybe spdef debuffer

Mixed debuffs spdef too

[deft glacier]

my odds of winning arent high

[deft glacier]

What will happen first my battery dying or me beating lance

finally

between this flowchart and the 1st clear you should be able to tell the theme by now

[neon sapphire]

i guess freebie theme?

[deft glacier]

[neon sapphire]

[deft glacier]

I'll try blue off type but i don't think it will work

[low carbon]

where is the no on does aerodactyl attack again

[deft glacier]

i forgor

[vague merlin]

yeah, looks like you're running gaugeless teams again

?

[lusty crown]

what is this team physically recoiling

[deft glacier]

[deft glacier]

[lusty crown]

Damn that is an interesting strat

[vague merlin]

gaugeless!

[deft glacier]

gaugeless indeed

i was quite lucky with types ngl

[vague merlin]

i don't think i can go gaugeless with dark-weak, hmm

[deft glacier]

calem sitting there in a corner, doing nothing of the whole fight except setting dark zone at the very end for the funny

[neon sapphire]

[deft glacier]

i had nothing for free gauge so either i was cheesing with another unit with lots of TM, or I was doing that which is way funnier

[deft glacier]

@lusty crown @neon sapphire

[neon sapphire]

The zone setter outshined her smh

[lusty crown]

Mfw the zone setter is Palmer

That's not too bad I guess, time to EX Janine and see how much higher you can get

[deft glacier]

not much

maybe if the max move also crits i can beat gengar

[lusty crown]

[neon sapphire]

Try to reduce hp/strength and add more attacks

Janine dodges all attacks

[deft glacier]

there's already way too much attack

[neon sapphire]

[lusty crown]

So true, bring in those LG tactics

[deft glacier]

like, i can't take either of physical, special AND standard reduction

that's 400 points

[neon sapphire]

Solution: pick physical DR and let Eve carry 🔥

[deft glacier]

as a normal fan i hate palmer on so many aspects it's not even funny

[lusty crown]

Palmer slander

[deft glacier]

• 4 gauge moves without speed buff
• zone on a unit that literally can't help other unit, it's basically a zone only for himself
• crush grip SUCKS
  

i guess he has 6 LA solos tho, that's quite a lot for a striker

[lusty crown]

okay but big number funny

[deft glacier]

me when the same move 2 turns in a row deals 30k then 3k

[lusty crown]

Okay I have no rebuttal for that one

[grave walrus]

Me when I go crush grip > giga impact > max move for total of 150-165k hp in csmm

[deft glacier]

Literally
How

[grave walrus]

+20 hp +6 Def moment

[vague merlin]

defense params?

[grave walrus]

Yeah I was partecipating in a challenge

To try and kill 28.9k base hp at +20 hp and highest Def possible in 3 moves

In csmm

I should look my footage up

Goofy unit

The other two goons are 1/5, stages were flint, drasna, flint

The vid is +20 +8 btw

[deft glacier]

Wtf

I dont have any PMUN stacking unit except SC Steven so I cant quit do that

[lusty crown]

yeah they key is often just to have two great physical enablers

[deft glacier]

wait was that 2.5k or 3k

because i can reach 2.6k parameters without too much difficulty but after that i don't really see what you can take

something like this possibly ?

[grave walrus]

That was 2.5k

It's 2 months old footage

[grave walrus]

Well yeah godcerola helps but like, there's alternatives, no cbede?

[deft glacier]

I literally have none

no cbd no bulurola no argenta no [insert unit that gives PMUN to ally]

except sc steven

if you stretch it I GUESS I have Elaine but lol

[low carbon]

you can do a palmer showcase

just put sslyra under permanent field on the team

[deft glacier]

1* lvl 1 no affinity egg destroys 5k csmm!!!!

[jovial ridge]

[low carbon]

ok but it would be funny if someone does lvl 1 sslyra solo 3k+ csmm

[grave walrus]

There's 3 lvl 1 clears in JP

In 2.5k

Without sslyra

[deft glacier]

i think i saw that one

[grave walrus]

There's 2

A Oleana one

And a SS silver one

Both with 2 eggmons

[low carbon]

there is one with Ariana

[grave walrus]

Woah link

[grave walrus]

Thnx

[vague merlin]

wtf

aurochs you have a challenger

[green cloud]

No idea what I'm looking at but an egg farfetch'd is an egg farfetch'd

okay but how

[lofty bone]

Wtf is that

Rocket execs are cheating smh

[limber wadi]

92 attack ftw

[vague merlin]

ngl that level 1 nuke is lowkey impressive

[green cloud]

How is lv 1 Farfetch'd tanking???

[vague merlin]

and it's 2.5k points too!

[neon sapphire]

iirc there was a clear with lvl 1 SS Silver too

Same user posting

[grave walrus]

Theme skills and gear

[grave walrus]

An Oleana one too

[neon sapphire]

[grave walrus]

https://vxtwitter.com/TALDYSJfJNLjkzP/status/1721813681363906864?t=sQ1rZgYLa35veD6usYYk-w&s=19

They're so based

[deft glacier]

There was an attempt

[deft glacier]

https://youtu.be/gqDlw83EmfE

[wind sparrow]

How much hp is that omg, also I was surprised you didn’t have adrenaline gridded on ssbrendan but I imagine you have a more potion focused grid?

But I also didn’t see Mh

[deft glacier]

It's uuuh team sharp + potion + team tough luck

[deft glacier]

and here I thought Fire was terrible

3 limited

3

at least i should be good tank wise

[neon sapphire]

At least accessible Grass types are not that bad

Also how is your Rosa not EX'd

[deft glacier]

i didn't click

she is ex

[neon sapphire]

[deft glacier]

Idk what I will do but I sure will

[green cloud]

Mael, please remember to keep these thread for clears

[rigid delta]

Come cry by my side

[rigid delta]

I mean these are wins too 👀

[deft glacier]

Tbf it's not that bad

Having Mix Red really helps me

[wind sparrow]

The mods want to refrain from having pulls/stuff not related to clears as we have a flex channel and other stuff

[deft glacier]

yeah i wanted to post some clears along it but what i tried didn't work

[rigid delta]

I know, my comment was meant as a joke

They specifically said clears

I said wins

[wind sparrow]

o alr lel

[limber wadi]

You called me?

[deft glacier]

Don't mind me just doing the event

[wind sparrow]

[deft glacier]

I need to post them somewhere lol but in dms i can't

[winged kite]

[deft glacier]

https://youtu.be/mB4UUEjRrpk

Noticed Zinnia's B Move costs gauge so I failed that round

[neon sapphire]

[deft glacier]

(could've used ssa cynthia for sync free for all, so i could've done it quite easily, just didnt see lol)

[deft glacier]

Gaming

[deft glacier]

https://youtu.be/FUUE13f2Dqk

[thorn nymph]

the crit police would like a word

[deft glacier]

Who needs to crit

when you have a smug cat

[deft glacier]

Look I can do it too !

||Wdym I didnt win ? They all are 1/5 ok ||

[lusty crown]

Now where have I seen this team before

[deft glacier]

literally everywhere

[neon sapphire]

[lofty bone]

Idk this team looks pretty novel to me

Non EX Diantha and all at 1/5

Can't say I've seen that

[deft glacier]

Dont ask how, I dont know

2.5k btw, I'm tired of 3k, I'll just do some OP BS for my weekly clear

[lusty crown]

new params when DeNa

[fair bone]

when the sprint/field novelty wears off

[neon sapphire]

[deft glacier]

The first time I ever run TM MPR on Leaf btw lol

[deft glacier]

Normal Gaming all over 2.5k CS

[brittle lintel]

way to go!

[deft glacier]

idk if i'll be able to do all 5

if my Hugh was more than 1/5 maybe

I'm saving Palmer for round 5 for permanent zone

[deft glacier]

GAMING

[deft glacier]

Pop quiz: everything went so smooth, why did I lose ?

[thorn nymph]

crit

[deft glacier]

What crit I have vigi

[wind sparrow]

They have piercing blows 💔

[thorn nymph]

i knew that i was testing you

[deft glacier]

[thorn nymph]

you lost because skill issue ofc

and got flinch'd by rock slide

[deft glacier]

Watch the video lol it's 1 minute long

[thorn nymph]

twice

i did

you wanted to max move before the iron defense

[deft glacier]

I took exactly the same route as the current run

Except

I got 1 more zone mpr

Which made me lose time and thus Regirock could queue ID

I lost because I was too lucky

[thorn nymph]

va dormir

it's 12am

[deft glacier]

Lol

[lofty bone]

Imagine sleeping couldn't be me
<- was asleep until almost two hours ago

[velvet dock]

Couldn't you use the max move instead to finish off Bar 1?

[deft glacier]

in the video they crush grip then max move

[velvet dock]

I see, but maybe try to see what happens if you use max move first

[deft glacier]

you don't have time on bar 3 to use one more move for the sync so you have to use it early

that run is ridiculously rng

[velvet dock]

Maybe it'd be different if you use a skill gear with more speed?

[deft glacier]

my pin has +20 speed

and other gears can't give speed

[velvet dock]

Ok, then I guess it's just a matter of just trying until everything aligns perfectly I guess

[deft glacier]

yeah

[deft glacier]

https://youtu.be/UprSvZ-bxvs

Lol aurochs reacting in #community-content, nice

[deft glacier]

Anyway mainly did this challenge this week because I got Anabel and wanted to use her. Well she's... weird to use at 1/5 to say the least lol

[jovial ridge]

don't see that react now

[neon sapphire]

Normal supremacy

[deft glacier]

ikr

[deft glacier]

Could go faster with Head Start 1 on all 3 but I dont want to commit

[lusty crown]

LG coming up soon you can afford to drop some cookies

[deft glacier]

meh

[deft glacier]

What to do with this week's CS

[neon sapphire]

stalling

or LG-styled CS

idk how to describe it tho

[grave walrus]

2 bar DPS only

Or 2 bar moves only

[deft glacier]

that sounds quite easy lol but sure

[grave walrus]

I mean it's easy

But fun

Imo

[deft glacier]

I'm trying to make OG Iris work

It's hard lol

Ok forget it it's pretty much impossible

[vague merlin]

[jovial ridge]

Themeless days
