Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)

[shy sinew]

and an adequate skill level (which is what I lack atm)

[ember marsh]

I’m fine with 100 wins

I got 30 wins this last one, but I burned the good ones

I assume vigilance is a must for supp mon?

[rocky oasis]

Yep

Unless youre running def crush / mind games for registeel

[ember marsh]

Should they tank?

[ember marsh]

Of course

[rocky oasis]

support eggmon shouldnt tank

[heavy sinew]

eggmons no

they're very frail

[ember marsh]

With how things are, what do you all think of eggmon getting grid ?

[rocky oasis]

regular supports normally yes

Supports are usually tanky

[dawn plume]

eggmons wont get grids

if they were they would have by now

the whole point of them is that they're cheap

[rocky oasis]

except for maybe cheryl

her def is dogshit

like thats "dies to random aerial ace bc she ran out of healing" levels of dogshit

[ember marsh]

Ok but they should get something, not grid but a small grid that gives stats buffing only

[heavy sinew]

she could survive a CC or two at +6

[rocky oasis]

I mean I wouldnt mind a minor buff to the eggs

[ember marsh]

They can lock that behind powers up

Instead of move level

Or both require for unlocking

For small buffing

Sounds balanced

Or maybe 4* and 5* cake

Or pudding

Whatever is

The cake slice

[dawn plume]

lol i barely have enough of the 3* cakes as it is

eggmons are fine as they are

they're not supposed to be that good

[rocky oasis]

I sometimes run MC skill gear to help them live random spread moves

that and MC skill gear is just great

[dawn plume]

the rainbow feathers from events are good for eggmons yeah, a lot of them have mc theme

[rocky oasis]

lots of MC units for some reason

[ember marsh]

Oh yeah

Will try that

Pins are expensive

20 powerups for one

I don’t remember DeNA handing these more often in events

[dawn plume]

i still havent used an ever pin lol

[shy sinew]

I used some back in psychic HS but even this gauntlet I only used type gear

[heavy sinew]

I used one back then and removed it

Never got it back

[dawn plume]

when the ever pin is not ever

[vital ibex]

the only one i used was for good psychic gear for velio to do the torn solo

[stuck mantle]

For velio you need moonlight simulator 🙂

[worthy horizon]

ever pins usually aren't very important unless you know you need to farm a bit of damage reduction/boost to make a specific clear possible

you can get a good set by just collecting as many as possible and upgrading the ones with the worst stats

[stuck mantle]

Dojo is on fire

Now its soo nice solos

[versed badge]

https://vxtwitter.com/ktcmoon/status/1784625358878515601?t=D3ICFf1mEx2EMfev_IXg8Q&s=19

Based and bugpilled

[stuck mantle]

Bugsy super fan c moon

[rotund rain]

ofc it's C-Moon

[modest oar]

The new shoe eating solo

He should try Scyther on Latios

unless it's completely hopeless for him

[bitter gate]

evasion is a balanced mechanic

[kind imp]

balanced by sanity

[bitter gate]

the amount of dodges with a +2 acc tho

jesus

[stuck mantle]

This luck is crazy

4ev miss all moves😂

[versed badge]

Sounds rough because of having to kill sidemons early

[modest oar]

It's like the SC Irida solo only way way worse

[bitter gate]

this is what's preventing Shauntal from soloing Latios btw

you need that kind of luck

in that video

to get through

[stuck mantle]

Problem is latios is 3 mons

Bulu is 1

This is main issue

[modest oar]

Bulu is too strong for Shauntal to beat

Even if it misses every move

[stuck mantle]

Even if me pay never do bugsy solo🤣

[bitter gate]

shauntal has EX so she can side clear

but yeah

[stuck mantle]

Lol pray for miss

[bitter gate]

not expecting her too but you know

shauntal hasn't done Latios yet

and idk why Bugsy has

[modest oar]

Says the guy who did Elaine and CSilver for gauntlet

[versed badge]

Shauntal has slower moves too

[bitter gate]

but she hasn't lmao

it's mostly a matter of dodge

[stuck mantle]

Lol you dont need miss bar 1-3

Just play lol

[versed badge]

Slower moves means less sync cd

[modest oar]

Yeah evasion solos my detested

[versed badge]

Which means slower clear which means more misses required

[bitter gate]

ironically

I tried the 1/5 korrina dodge against bulu

and did it first try

because I was lucky lmao

but i couldn't be assed to do the koga solo

[stuck mantle]

Korina have good damage

[modest oar]

Korrina steals buffs

[bitter gate]

that solo is just ridiculous tbh

[stuck mantle]

I did koga on bulu was not bad

[modest oar]

I was close several times

But it always screwed me over

[stuck mantle]

Koga have ex and damage

So its way more faster

[modest oar]

But little bulk

[stuck mantle]

You dont need miss soo many moves

[kind imp]

that's already done

surprised it wasn't by him

[modest oar]

Yeah I saw now. Drift is another Johto lover though

He also lowered the SS Giovanni solo

[stuck mantle]

Yeap

No need ex role

Saw it

Just 5/5 grid

[modest oar]

You mean energy

EX R is required

[stuck mantle]

No he did no

Was no exr solo

Saw today ss gio vs raikou

5/5 gio just whit new grid

[modest oar]

https://youtu.be/jZ044PAb1J0?si=KS4F7waI-b_KZUGl&t=122

He did cake him

[bitter gate]

drift actually scared me for a minute

[stuck mantle]

Drift yes

https://youtu.be/dFzBuTu_9Jk?si=AgI_UIOlLf5zoJZr

[bitter gate]

when I saw his moltres video

[stuck mantle]

But him did no exr

[bitter gate]

I was like wtf

did he actually do the rika solo

then I saw it was with gio

[stuck mantle]

Wat molters? He

Lol rika ha no chance 😂

[kind imp]

this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhdCfBTTS5U

[bitter gate]

i wonder if maxie can do raikou

after his tech cake

with energy expansion he might be able to

just that the rain will replace his sun

[stuck mantle]

Not sure about gague

[heavy sinew]

Is anyones game crashing more lately?

[modest oar]

I think he can

[stuck mantle]

Now game work better the befor for me

[modest oar]

Just need to conserve sync

[stuck mantle]

Befor was crash all time

[worthy horizon]

with archie now managing latios

maxie raikou has to be within range

[modest oar]

Maxie Bulu

[worthy horizon]

lol

[modest oar]

But seriously could he do it with stoic?

[bitter gate]

probably?

since he has multiple forms of healing and DR

and even endurance

[modest oar]

Special moves gonna hurt but Bulu don't have a lot of them

[bitter gate]

if he wants to take a wood hammer

he also can just heal them off

and abuse mind games on solarbeam to chip down I guess

[heavy sinew]

NOTHING TOUCHED HIM EXCEPT SYNC

I WOULD GO INSANE TRYING TO REPLICATE THIS

[modest oar]

Yeah that's what I though. Like the Silver solo but no evasion

[worthy horizon]

i'll run some attempts

[bitter gate]

i was gonna try the nessa solo against registeel

and got close a few times

but it's really annoying

[modest oar]

Nessa solo?

[bitter gate]

winter nessa

[modest oar]

Oh that one

[bitter gate]

unless someone did it already

[sturdy steeple]

bulu hits pretty hard

[modest oar]

Hence stoic. And terrain heals Maxie more

So hopefully he can tank just long enough to solo, since with mind games 9 he shreds Bulu

[stuck mantle]

I try dojo vs cress whent half bar2

But this miss kill it

Avoid cress 3 ev its too shity hard

[worthy horizon]

well i did get here at lv 140 +2e

that's about the point where sun runs out and you have to stomach a wood hammer

and bulu's special attacks do a lot

you have to use your tm somewhat early for the damage output but not too early so you don't die

not extremely far off though

[austere crown]

At least a good duo is imminent

[worthy horizon]

sun ran out a few turns earlier than that death

2 i think

tech ex r, lv 150, and maybe a bit more overcap could potentially manage

rednhoho tends to pull off things that i wouldn't expect to be manageable at higher investments than what i have

very not unlikely you see maxie gaining bulu and raikou with tech cake addition but definitely not guaranteed either

his cyrus solo still gets to me lol

[inner turret]

I don't see him getting raikou, bar 3 is a death sentence

unless 2 blades can kill ig

[modest oar]

redhono already has 4ex +8e for Latios

So maybe he could try

[modest oar]

Maybe if Maxie delays sync it could work

[inner turret]

maybe

[modest oar]

Tech EXR also increases Maxie's offenses so maybe that combined with skill gear dr could work

[stuck mantle]

But befor maxie we get stdk sabrina solos😘

[dawn plume]

save me pomatools pomatools save me

[quaint tartan]

[pearl beacon]

Holy crêpe

That's inane, wonder how long they've been trying

[rocky oasis]

literally have to dodge every move

[heavy sinew]

no room for error

dodge or die

[worthy horizon]

+6 evasion means 50% accuracy, +6 evasion and +2 accuracy from the opponent is 66.67% acc

was curious

+2 evasion like in the plumeria solo means 75% accurate attacks

that one manages the bar skip in bar 1

[errant plume]

Hello, sorry for disturbing you but egg Butterfree is missing from the drive, can you add it please ?
The shiny is the Support if you need to know

[inner turret]

Yeah some other eggs are still missing too, namely vileplume and paldea starters

(maybe galar starters too I dont remember)

[errant plume]

They are in the Sync Pair Tracker tho

I use both of them to grab icons and Butterfree is nowhere

[inner turret]

tracker isn't made by sages

maybe they made the missing icons themselves idk

i've just been using the models as placeholders for now

[worthy horizon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3gLyN-AjDE

filled out the grid

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/300/67800?s=4&l=150&r=6&p=0&a=18046402&g=AAECAwQFExYXHh8gIiMmKSwt

[bitter gate]

Jesus

[chrome halo]

@pearl pawn your time to do this on English and max investment

[errant plume]

Yes I know but since they credit Sages, I thought the icons that they used were from Sages

[inner turret]

or @errant moon

[stuck mantle]

Lol more luck hard get 🤣 only why now do it not in lg? Soo many mp para:) easy be number 1;) 😭

[errant moon]

LMAO

i'll pass, y'all have fun

love that they used the Kalos Friends theme though

[pearl pawn]

I’m crying WHAT

[pearl pawn]

I haven’t even done Latios yet and you expect this of me!?

[chrome halo]

yes

[pearl pawn]

Guess I’ll cry

[worthy horizon]

wonder how bad v lance or palentines serena are vs tornadus, highest para rate mons left i think

barring erika

v lance already gets cobalion on top of latios

p serena gets nothing yet

idk her kit

[modest oar]

VLance might be able to if he gets like all free gauges and many para procs

SSCynthia too

[bitter gate]

I did egg wigglytuff + vlance versus torn

trust me

it's not worth it, lol

but yeah, you need like, disgusting amounts of paralysis procs if he wants to survive properly

[worthy horizon]

calem could be the last reasonable solo on tornadus left

within currently existing units

[bitter gate]

you're gonna see some madlads try Poppy

lol

as impossible as it sounds

[tender horizon]

About time

[stuck mantle]

If you can para heat wave poppy have a chance depend on b move damage

[pearl beacon]

At 2 sync buffs she can sync+hammer bar3
5/5 +10E

Btw 3/5 her grid has acces to everything, not sure she can handle hitting twice
But if they did that bugsy solo with 100% misses anything is possible given time

[tender horizon]

Spring Burgh solo with infinite potions and thunder paralysis

[rocky oasis]

has volo done a torn solo yet

[shy sinew]

he can torn solo?

and then next question: base or lodge (I have a 70 energy base Volo that I can offer if it’s possible)

[dawn plume]

lodge hasnt solod anything

lodge striker moment

[stuck mantle]

I was volo bar 3 torn and entei too:)

Can be done i get 2 times para move all bars

[full pond]

I haven't made eggs in a while. Maybe I can try and get to all the ones I'm missing. Need to research what's come out.

[errant plume]

If you can do it, it would be very appreciate

[scenic bolt]

Egg

[shy sinew]

I can definitely try some more Volo solos once I upload the rest of my gauntlet clears depending on where we are and what leads we have on getting the solo done

[dawn plume]

ik volo has more potential for solos its just gonna be a pain

its like bt leon

more healing but less piercing blows

[modest oar]

I'm still sure that BT Leon can eventually solo Tornadus

Though he might need EX R for it

[chrome halo]

Hoping he gets sup or field

[tender horizon]

Field

[dawn plume]

he and gloria should rerun soon, they’re tied for 4th oldest pokefair without a rerun which is weird to think about since they were like 9 months ago

they just reran a lot of oldies this month

[chrome halo]

Who are the 2nd? I know the first one is SS Cyrus

[dawn plume]

2nd is lear

he’s been gone for a while

[chrome halo]

Oh right him

[shy sinew]

did I just mentally not register that Jacq got to 14 solos at some point or is that relatively new?

[dawn plume]

he got moltres on like his 3rd day

it was really fast

damn as of this month there are actually more pokefairs that do have ex roles than those that don’t

they’re SPEEDING through this

[modest oar]

He sure did

12 only need 3/5 0/20, rest need EXR

[shy sinew]

I think I missed the Tornadus clear happening

[modest oar]

Rafa did it a few days ago

Adam did 5/5 before then

[shy sinew]

was scouting how many solos Rika had because I just auto’d Latios and was surprised to see both the 13 and 14 clear tiers get a lot bigger though I largely expected that

[modest oar]

She autos Uxie too

Zinfogel posted that

[shy sinew]

ooh I’d have to check that out, I’ll have to do my Rika solos this week for personal record

[sturdy steeple]

probably autos most at max invest lol

[shy sinew]

that was my thought too but wanted to see it for myself (left her at 19/20 last week as I was both short on spirits and powerup tickets, which has been resolved now), I expected her to struggle more with Latios sides because the AI likes not killing them first

[modest oar]

I'm trying to lower SSGio's solo to 5/5 EX no overcap

[dawn plume]

brycen-man kit looked awkward for solos but i’m looking at it closer… he has some potential

he has free moves for 2 bars but loses it bar 3 cuz only 2 rebuffs, but he’s a tech ex so he doesn’t really need gauge for bar 3 if he just one shots it

that tm no stat increase tile is VERY interesting…

[kind imp]

also ss hilbert

[dawn plume]

honestly he might be able to damage rush cresselia… he stops cresselia from buffing itself with his tm and has hit and heal

[pearl beacon]

Cress doing its shit... whoopsies

No evasion today

[dawn plume]

yea that tile feels like a fck u to cresselia specifically

[sharp lichen]

Also Latias in some regards too

[dawn plume]

1 use tm but dena decided to be nice and give him mpr3 instead of the mpr2 a lot of newer pairs have

[sharp lichen]

Yeah

[pearl beacon]

Ye, all the happy buffers
Registeel too, and he has the stat debuff shield

[sharp lichen]

Oh yeah

[pliant glen]

Or even his co-star

[dawn plume]

[sharp lichen]

Selene all over again

[dawn plume]

brycen man is still pretty frail and will rely on dodging with only accuracy debuffs, hit and heal on tm is his only healing

so i dont think he can get TOO many solos

but he has some potential

[wise raven]

Just dodge but worse

[pearl beacon]

vPlum looks good for few solos

Two healings, evasion, nuke potential

And free moves

But ehh, low gem month, Rika already took pity

I'm already sitting for next datamine

[rocky oasis]

got rika

nothing else i want this month

oh well

[pearl beacon]

Bellelba w select in few months 📈

Hope dena won't play dirty and put seasonals into 5K x25

[golden jacinth]

Wouldn't be surprised at this rate

[chrome halo]

Don't jinx it i need pal victor

[pearl beacon]

Seasonals are the most questiomable abt price
The tiered cost 21k or more iirc

[inner turret]

we can select 2 to compensate right? right??

[pearl beacon]

guaranteed 5*

[rocky oasis]

im out of paid gems lol

saving the few i have for anni now

[pliant glen]

Summoning old seasonals is actively bad now because they'll seemingly just never get EX Roles

[inner turret]

me who needs both may and whitney

[shy sinew]

I would welcome +1 body for my LG streak but no roles absolutely sucks

[pliant glen]

We only get that select once a year and it'll always be better to pick ones that are more recent unless you really care about whatever collection or favourites you have that you can't live without.

[shy sinew]

holiwhitney is at least fun in my experience using her though maybe I just enjoy massive horn leech heals

[pliant glen]

Whitney is one of the better value ones easily

[loud shell]

Didn't we get three seasonal selects for Anni last year?

[bitter gate]

the issue is

she only has two rounds of confusion

meaning she can't even get that much value off of it

meaning that after it runs out it's more or less just dodge gaming

if she had infinite uses of Confuse ray she'd be a lot better

[dawn plume]

variety plumeria on god the most filler sync pair of all time

uhhhh plumeria and errr uhhh GENGAR!! people love gengar yeah

[bitter gate]

she's the worst variety fair so far but yeah, unfortunate

[pearl beacon]

Yeah her Bmove is so weird

Not even requored for her base kit

Just confusion and -1 acc

But she can ramp fast I think

[dawn plume]

we have a gengar that megas, a gengar that gmaxes, and now a gengar with a z move

gengar whipping out all the generation specific gimmicks

[pearl beacon]

shiny mega gengag where

[dawn plume]

and morty still doesnt have gengar

[pearl beacon]

450 base speed and +6 buff with tm
Plumeria keeping the battery role

At least it's a double Inertia unit

Poison kinda sucks

It will be a matter who pulls her at this point

[bitter gate]

i mean, outside of situations where she can't poison

the speed is kinda pointless

because she has toxic freebie 9

lol

[inner turret]

she is kinda pointless period

like wtf is that kit

[scenic bolt]

That’s crazy

[hallow gull]

-1 Accurate, confusion for B Move

[pearl beacon]

Really confusing bmove

[inner turret]

confusing
twice

[pearl beacon]

The sync cd is a compensation for the long animation

Also is so long looks almost a serious bmove

Gauge accell

Fkn fast, max speed, free moves
But they want to be sure gauge is enough

[hallow gull]

If only she had Sup cake instead of Tech

She surely can carry gauge for 2 slow 4 bar dps

[bitter gate]

i think she can still solo a few things

she still has evasion from shifty striker, confined forms of regen, and her nuke hurts and is easy to use

at least, if SC Irida can solo the stuff she has, I'd be surprised if Plumeria can't get close

[pearl beacon]

Alsp tm is +2 eva

So probably the easy ones like bulu latios

[bitter gate]

she'll probably have less solos than Irida, but the ones that she does do might be easier than Irida's

she'll typically run this for non Latias clears

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/12100/9400?s=5&l=140&r=6&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFCRgZHB8hIiMkJyor&x=true

and then take easy pickings and hope for the best for latias

[modest oar]

20/2-?

[vital ibex]

Most likely meant to be 20/20

[bitter gate]

typo, probably

[sturdy steeple]

[modest oar]

SSGio 5/5 without extra energy is doable but it's so annoying. If anyone else have him 5/5 and willing to try be my guest. I got to Bar 3 three times and failed the insta-queue each time

[scenic bolt]

Lowering target accuracy by 1 is so fucking funny

[sturdy steeple]

Worst b move ever question mark

[inner turret]

Yeah with evasion she will get solos

but like bruh she's still so uninteresting

[bitter gate]

they aren't very creative with their variety designs

most of it goes to the other units

[tight rivet]

mpr2 the worst tile in existence frfr ong

[tight rivet]

unironically it probably is cuz at least SS n and HViola b moves are aoe and mass debuff plumeria is -1 acc and -1 cd which is just bad…

[stuck mantle]

Did raikou but my gio is exr and have 2 extra🤣

So cant lower it🤣

[modest oar]

You definitely can

[sturdy steeple]

Both are much more useful

[modest oar]

And I almost did it

Oh I can't read lol

[stuck mantle]

I now but i cant take exr🤣

But gio new grid is nice

Sadly need 10 extra energy if i want pick all things

[modest oar]

Yes I like it a lot. He's my next target if Raikou comes. Or maybe VThorton actually first

Would be nice for Rally

[stuck mantle]

Rally i finaly today beat my dream score😘

11250:)

Finally over 11k

Rally now is good whit soo many exr

Only this sprint field suks

When dena make this units?

[rocky oasis]

ive only ever reached 10.5k

[heavy sinew]

On rally?

[modest oar]

Anni units

[heavy sinew]

only got to 9980

[rocky oasis]

Probably got a lucky round

[stuck mantle]

Yeap i always have over 10k

Got lucky sprint field

Wow help me alot🤣

[tight rivet]

yeah its mass debuffing several stats at once and accuracy is like the worst stat to debuff

[stuck mantle]

Hope on ani we get field sprint

[sturdy steeple]

Eva would be way worse to debuff

[modest oar]

SS N's b move is unironically great

So useful in so many scenarios

[tight rivet]

yeah for gauntlet its amazing normal play uh lol

but like i think people tend to ignore it cuz they arent super focused on gauntlet

[modest oar]

Good for Rally and HSE too

[tight rivet]

and tend to write it off as bad

[modest oar]

N doesn't even need to do damage he can just be a more techy unit

[stuck mantle]

Ss n need exr for rally

[modest oar]

For gauntlet too. He's gatekept from two solos purely by that

[stuck mantle]

He prob get sprint

[modest oar]

Ewww

[stuck mantle]

Since he reduce syncs

[modest oar]

Like I understand why but ew

[stuck mantle]

But sup would be better

Like dojo

[modest oar]

I hope he'll get support since he actually has tanking ability

[tight rivet]

strike ss n would actually be great

[heavy sinew]

Field take it or leave it

[tight rivet]

minus the status condition requirement

[stuck mantle]

Dena now put old banners 6-10

So he may be in 2-3 months

[tight rivet]

actually what is his issue with soloiny

is it bulk or dps

[rocky oasis]

bulk

[sturdy steeple]

Lack of sustain

[heavy sinew]

dies to a gust of wind

[modest oar]

Definitely bulk. He'll get Regi with support EXR

[rocky oasis]

w/o 5/5 he just aint living too many hits

[sturdy steeple]

Still solos 9 tho 💀

[dawn plume]

he barely solos some of his current ones

like latias is down to the wire

[bitter gate]

watch him get sprint fsr, lol

[sturdy steeple]

[heavy sinew]

worst outcome

[bitter gate]

let me be salty about Lysandre not getting support

QQ

[heavy sinew]

at least he can do Moltres

Which is

Silly

[bitter gate]

shame he can't do anything else though

I do think if he had support EX Latias would be doable

[dawn plume]

sprint actually did allow moltres lol

he needed that +40 speed

[karmic willow]

How?

What does he debuff?

Latias would

Eventually overpower you with that fluid fortification

And even IF it was ss lysandre you were talking about

Maybe not

Duo with eggmon and it would

[pliant glen]

1/5 0/20 it's painful.

[scenic bolt]

Evaaaaade

[rocky oasis]

just dodge everything EZPZ

[modest oar]

I made her 20/20 just because I hated this solo so much

[pliant glen]

Thing is
I got Bulu, Latios is the harder stage

[modest oar]

You did 0/20 Bulu solo?

[dawn plume]

i mean bulu can be easier than latios for units with flinch

[stuck mantle]

Interesting how many brycen man do

2-4?

[worthy horizon]

pretty much yeah

cobalion is more likely but not very doable still

need way too many 40% flinches, oblivion wing does nothing

it also does nothing to bars 2 and 3 latias

ss lysandre is tricky to duo with if you're looking to go cheaper than ss kris bc kris is perfect at patching all the gauge and sustain issues

[stuck mantle]

Lol vs coba gauge will suks

[worthy horizon]

tech ex r still doesn't make anything come easy

gives some bar 1 skip potential on registeel and cobalion

if you do get the luxury of using ss kris he kinda eliminates everything without worrying about rng, piercing gaze tears through cresselia and latias evasion bs

barring tornadus

still possible but mini potion mpr reliant

og lysandre's moltres solo is really nice bc once you have the gear and ex role you can actually showcase its advantages

[vagrant crypt]

https://youtu.be/6iOV3ayrh2Y?si=24Tfi25B3s3mBJF6

[worthy horizon]

cobalion and latias would be extremely sisyphusean if realistically possible

all uphill no fun

[sturdy steeple]

yay thank you

[vagrant crypt]

You're welcome!
It's thanks to all of you that I'm able to do this, I've learned over the last few months to really care about the L.A and it's thanks to you. Thank you all so much.

[sturdy steeple]

thats wonderful, good work!

[heavy sinew]

Big W

[modest oar]

5/5 EX no overcap

It's so much simpler with EXR

Without it I don't recommend

[heavy sinew]

zamn

Does he one shot sides

[modest oar]

One shot Ampharos with super effective up next. Only the highest roll can one shot Electrode, and I didn't in my winning run

I just attacked Electrode twice before attacking Raikou

[bitter gate]

where are bman solos

[stuck mantle]

Dont now😂

You dont scout😛?

[bitter gate]

rika still hates me

[stuck mantle]

Im save gems for hse😘

Need bede and mix scout too

Only sabrina scout rest may all skipp

[tender horizon]

No ones scouting BrycenMan lmaoooo

Hes not a bad unit but bad timing

[worthy horizon]

worse sc irida

idk what timing would save that other than releasing before that

from a solo standpoint/damage dealer that is

i'd imagine any advantages he'd hold in that comparison are very niche

[stuck mantle]

His issue is no flinch no ev no free moves after 2 rebuff . And 2 crit mean need trainer move mp.

His not bad but in team not solo unit, He is set stuff slow

[tender horizon]

Rebuff to enable NC Red in bar 3 tornadus

[pearl beacon]

Cool character but bad timing

Two extremely low months, Volo n Rika release, next one new MF drops

Priorities

But the real joke this month is probably Guzma

[inner turret]

plumeria*

guzma looks underwhelming but at least he's good

his signature lucky skill is probably the best of all too

[pliant glen]

Too bad he can't grid Synchro Healer Vigilance and Impervious

[inner turret]

you probably don't need all of them at once

[pearl beacon]

Oh well they both sucks

[pliant glen]

He doesn't buff his defences without Stotic

[inner turret]

he does

[pearl beacon]

Feels like a lodge grid

[inner turret]

you'll never see full bracing on a lodge pair lol

[pliant glen]

Just 1 overcap energy

[inner turret]

full bracing, vigi, synchro, imperv
it's too good for a lodge pair

[pearl beacon]

Ye they got that on TM for the entire team

[pliant glen]

Lodge Sync Pairs have very low stats as well

They never reach 300 defence without high invest skill gears

[pearl beacon]

250

Like 600 hp 250 defs is a standard

[pliant glen]

Yeah that's flimsy for CS

At least as main tank

[pearl beacon]

Btw struggle bug feel weird on Guzma, venom drench would save him from 2 passives
But maybe it's too similar to Janine

Noiiice

Sonthe first victim is cress 📈

[bitter gate]

Ruri got Latios also

[stuck mantle]

Latios is any unit can get lol

Stupid use b move 2 times bar 1

Can be done better

Bar 2 cress show no gauge no moves

[tender horizon]

When your easiest solo is Cresselia

Nice i love gio

I did solo him too but more crazy😂 when be at work on wifi upload it so check it hyper😛

[modest oar]

EX R?

[stuck mantle]

Yeap but something way more harder then any lg arena😘

Took me 2,3h off try😂

[heavy sinew]

Damn brycen-man only one solo?

[pearl beacon]

Cress n Latios

But hope he can get Bulu too

[vital ibex]

Yea I dont think hes getting latias

I did a few runs with it but im like 99% sure it requires exr

[dawn plume]

yeah his kit looked like a big middle finger to cresselia, not surprised he got that

[vital ibex]

I'll try latias tomorrow when I exchange for rally tickets

Cuz flygon just hits way too hard so you wanna remove it before it does too much

The aoe sync debuffs prob also help

[pearl beacon]

Yup exr kinda needed for the sides
I think is possible, you cna prevent latias from buffing plus you can dodge

Or maybe not bcs of the free move

[stuck mantle]

Luri try bulu die bar 2

Latias how you manage gague bar 3?

No free move

[sturdy steeple]

Sync nook

[dawn plume]

yea he's a tech pair he can just explode it

[austere crown]

oh wow... his kit is so gimmicky

[dawn plume]

yeah he's a weird one

his 3/5 grid tile w no stat increase on tm feels specifically designed to counter cresselia

guess thats why he only has 2 solos rn and one of them is cresselia lol

[sturdy steeple]

acc debuff solos areannoyingg

[dawn plume]

cant wait to see who tries lodge rika solos!!!

[bitter gate]

Note that a lot of people aren't pulling him

Because bellelba is by far more popular because of VA

[inner turret]

what will happen first lodge rika or lodge volo solo

[bitter gate]

That and Rika

And they know another e4 member is coming

And am worried is Larry

[austere crown]

tf? No one completed TLRika solo?

[bitter gate]

So unfortunately we don't get to see him in action that often

Also watch bellelba have more solos because why not

[dawn plume]

shes not out yet lol

if you meant volo though, yeah not yet

[austere crown]

p sure some madman in this server is attempting this as we speak 🙊

[dawn plume]

🙋‍♂️

well not atm lol

been doing it off and on

[bitter gate]

Can Phoebe solo Latios after expansion

[heavy sinew]

No

Maybe

[austere crown]

prob not

[pliant glen]

I think I only have one or two unique VSelene solos left you went crazy @sturdy steeple

[karmic willow]

oh yeah

Skyla somehow got flabbergast

lodge skyla i mean

so she CAN contend with uxie

@sturdy steeple

[vital ibex]

i need them all

its joever when they release zorua

zoroark's my fav but zorua is my FAV fav

[inner turret]

imagine getting pairs of your type

[vital ibex]

there there

if they drop arven next month im SO cooked 🙏

[inner turret]

they won't, I don't see them dropping paldea pairs 2 months in a row

[vital ibex]

i hope not

brycen took an entire pity so i gotta get my stash back up

[pearl beacon]

Paldean MFairs

preanni bait:

[pearl beacon]

[dawn plume]

this is literally the 3rd month of paldea pairs in a row

2.42 had geeta
2.43 had jacq

this is 2.44

[inner turret]

i forgot about jacq lol

[bitter gate]

i actually forgot that

I almost succeeded in the Anabel Uxie solo

[modest oar]

We get master fairs Turo and Sada with pokefair Arven

[bitter gate]

and never tried it ever since

I thought it was already done lol

guess I know what I'll be trying

[dawn plume]

arven will come before 5th anni i feel

i think the rest of the paldea e4 will come before him though (fitting emote)

[inner turret]

one of them better be the free legendary

[modest oar]

What is free?

[dawn plume]

pokemon masters fans when hassel and baxcalibur b glaive rush into all of their gems (he is limited)

[tight rivet]

are we speedrunning paldea cs

[dawn plume]

i think that’s what they’re doing

[austere crown]

Jacq is so ez to use for solos tho

[inner turret]

sentry entry x5

UB gimmicks

[dawn plume]

paldea cs will not be fun LOL

[austere crown]

sshilda stocks up even more

she just keeps getting better n better

AnniStevenn about to pop off!!! 🔥 💯

June is traditionally a johto month so...

Inb4 another May alt

[karmic willow]

may alt

[austere crown]

Oh holdup… who’s popular in Johto?

[karmic willow]

how many we got again?

[karmic willow]

M O R T Y

if we do get another villain vs hero thingy

god the things i'd do to see pryce

pryce in the adventures manga was

hooooooo-boy

abducted children (including "green" aka leaf, silver, will and karen and many more)

trains them

got both Ho-oh and Lugia under his reign

owns Erika with a Swinub

all because his Lapras got oof'd

absolute menace

[sturdy steeple]

what a freak

only time pryce has ever been relevant?

[karmic willow]

sorta yea

and then

make naomi the villian queen

sightsee too much she got way too hooked into the movies at pokestar studios

[sturdy steeple]

[karmic willow]

and then we

finally get a rosa princess alt to step up and save the day (i'm mad coping)

[sturdy steeple]

[tender horizon]

Ah great. Variety Kimono Girls and eevees again

[rigid plover]

getting back into the game slowly, is there anyone in particular whose banners are up thats worth summoning for gauntlet purposes?

[sturdy steeple]

rika and scselene are the two best currently

[rigid plover]

ok, thanks

[sturdy steeple]

[heavy sinew]

Selene is the second coming of SS Lyra

[rigid plover]

oh wait i forgot i have sc selene already

i came back a week or so ago and did 1 multi on each sc banner and got both of them

will look into rika tho

[shy sinew]

somewhat related question but bellelba is the real unit of note in this datamine that hasn't released yet? trying to plan my gem allocations for a month instead of free-flowing it

[sturdy steeple]

tbh yeah

[shy sinew]

got my 5/5 rika and if I can have a chill month that would be cool

[karmic willow]

DAMN

[rigid plover]

makes sense

[karmic willow]

5/5 Rika already?

[dawn plume]

rikas great but has a steep investment requirement for solos

[shy sinew]

4/5 from a pity + a single candy because bicio told me to, tbh I knew I wanted at least 3 copies and the summons were only generous on the second and last 2 multis

[sturdy steeple]

those that require 5/5 (half of them) can easily be done as a duo with 3/5 and a cheap partner

[dawn plume]

yeah bellelba is the only other thing releasing this month worth mentioning lol

well even 1/5 rika can do good duos

she tanks well

[sturdy steeple]

yessir

[shy sinew]

it'll be good to skip a pair or two for a change and focus on knocking out my ex queue rather than continuing to add to it (plus my account is over 400 sync pairs now I have no shortage of gauntlet bodies)

[scenic bolt]

Yo

Barricade buddies on Rosa is like

I feel like she won

Did she win any lg solos?

[shy sinew]

oh yeah that's a thing now I honestly forgot

[scenic bolt]

Guess she didn’t win

But honestly like brycens is whelm

But barricade buddies

[shy sinew]

not seeing any wins yet?

[scenic bolt]

I don’t do much lg I wouldn’t know

I rely on yall for the latest news

[sturdy steeple]

its a good buff for her, but it doesnt impact her kit enough to add another solo to her

[shy sinew]

it probably just makes things easier if I were to guess, might give the bulu solo a real shot now

[sturdy steeple]

bulu solo uses stoic LS

[shy sinew]

ah yes once again I made the mistake of thinking barricade buddies gave def buffs not spdef

[sturdy steeple]

ehe thats ok

[shy sinew]

one of these days I'll make the mistake enough times to learn

[dawn plume]

i think both her solos rely on certain lucky skills

stoic for bulu and enlightenment for latios

barricade buddies is very good but it doesnt help her vs those stages

[shy sinew]

ah latios bar 3 (first half) might be a problem with full def debuffs yeah

[scenic bolt]

Hm

Guess it’s more a buff for 3v3

Decently useful

[modest oar]

Latios might be possible with barricaded buddies (if she kills Dragonite first but keeps Salamence alive)

Maybe Raikou could work if she could have two lucky skills since I doubt Raikou can one shot her even with hyper beam

[scenic bolt]

2 lucky skills

Why does she need 2 tho

[modest oar]

For Raikou? Paralysis

Like she will get paralysed so lithe is basically required

[worthy horizon]

even if she did get to run lithe it still wouldn't look good

you're doing bar 1 with special damage reduction without crits

you can still last long enough to take out the sides but more than that is rough and you're coming out with -5 speed

i checked

[modest oar]

Right, forgot about no crits

[worthy horizon]

fast track would give you a better shot

more important than sharp entry even

[dawn plume]

yea no crit makes raikou very hard

[tight rivet]

isnt it like shielded strikes

[dawn plume]

its inconsistent and i hate it

shielded strike = self def buff
shielded = team def buff
barricade = self sp def buff
barricade buddies = team sp def buff

it unironically drives me insane

[pearl beacon]

A situation where the new named passives are easier
TM: Def ↑ 9

For simple ones looks better

For the more complex ones looks like a ddr layout

https://tenor.com/view/dance-dance-revolution-gif-18388972

[scenic bolt]

xd

[karmic willow]

Mad coping

Bar 3 is too much

Red can try all he wants but he ain't Irida

I'm ONE hail short

With glaceon maybe

[stuck mantle]

Lol

You need freze him😛

So how many solo mix blue will do?

[bitter gate]

Idt a lot

Unlike red he lacks durability

He'll also do less than Wallace

As wallace can at least fish for Max moves and stuff

[stuck mantle]

Wallace have endure heal itc

Blue have nothing

[bitter gate]

He doesn't even hae healing sun

Just sunscreen

[stuck mantle]

Yes he suks

Dont get why he dont have heal? Raise def?

Nothing zero

[bitter gate]

I think just Latios lol

[stuck mantle]

Yeap hard get more

[bitter gate]

I'd be surprised if he does anything else

[stuck mantle]

No eva acu

Protect

[bitter gate]

Maybe Raikou, idk

[stuck mantle]

Raikou?

Sure hit crit lol

[bitter gate]

He has to burst it down

[stuck mantle]

3 moves😂

[bitter gate]

And change rain to sun

[worthy horizon]

not raikou

[stuck mantle]

So he need keep max move half bar 3

Agree

Latios? Maybe bulu

[bitter gate]

Thus the word maybe

[worthy horizon]

not bulu either

[stuck mantle]

Bulu he may brute force

[worthy horizon]

if he manages a bar 3 nuke

[bitter gate]

He'll get chunked

Unless he goes through fast enough

[stuck mantle]

Bulu will have special def lowerd -6

Max move

And b move should smack bar 3

[bitter gate]

Well gl on anyone who's gonna try getting him

Will do Anabel Uxie solo later

I was close before

Gonna get better gear and do it later

[stuck mantle]

I dont have blue and hard tell when he drop🤣

Not interested in him just pull since need unit for hse

From pitty

[sturdy steeple]

mix blue is extremely underwhelming for a unit of a type that already has a buncha other units that do his job

[stuck mantle]

Dena kill him take all stuff wat red have . And make him wors

I kinda dont get it.

[sturdy steeple]

heres hoping mix leaf doesnt get the same treatment

[stuck mantle]

Hard tell dena and new units drop some times make no logic .

So can be boosted or can be droped down

Mix blue is ss red 2.0

[worthy horizon]

yea nothing that solos bulu does it without decent sustain or a way of avoiding a lot of hits

mix blue has neither

[stuck mantle]

If not the sun he would be same

[sturdy steeple]

oh man mix blue is weak to water 💀

[worthy horizon]

ss gladion is one of the squishiest but he still has sync regen

[stuck mantle]

Yeap and he low special attack too

This help

[karmic willow]

Rough

I will regret this won't I

@median swan

Against my better judgement

[median swan]

the CORRECT choice

[scenic bolt]

Xd

Does this guy even do a lot in lg

[hallow gull]

+1 Latios Bullier

[scenic bolt]

One of the hundreds

[median swan]

six solos no healing baby

[scenic bolt]

Oh 6

Pretty decent

[karmic willow]

Hse

Gobsmacking

[scenic bolt]

His zone is probably more significant

And rebuff

He’s the biggest fairy enhancer in the game

And fat nuke

[blissful rose]

Pulled NY Volkner on the mix blue banner. Would've been nice if he came earlier for this gauntlet.

[pearl beacon]

ncRed assistant

[kind imp]

[stuck mantle]

I got olivia from mix blue🤣

[pearl beacon]

I got 9

Hope I don't get him at pity, Wanna save it for fifth anni update

[stuck mantle]

I dont care if i get him

And mix red is in pull?

[pearl beacon]

Yes

As we supposed Mix got everything except mfairs

Imagine pulling another mixRed and not Blue

[stuck mantle]

I see this happend

[karmic willow]

[stuck mantle]

You won?🧐

[karmic willow]

yup

[stuck mantle]

Nice

[stuck mantle]

Brycen man got bulu

So its 3

[heavy sinew]

it MIGHt be over

still pulling on mix for other units tho

[pearl beacon]

Stack for fifth anni selects

[worthy horizon]

cheren's best shot at latios as is, you'd need to reset for para on the first thunderbolt lol

enlightenment gives them too much time to move

[tiny hedge]

If anyone wants to know.... yeesh.

[worthy horizon]

healthy healing?

[tiny hedge]

Water guard

[worthy horizon]

100% you'll want healthy healing

[tiny hedge]

Healthy healing won't even help since water weak

I already tried it

[worthy horizon]

ah

[tiny hedge]

Tried
Ww3
Healthy healing
Water guard
Vigilance.

Nothing worked

He just has no sustainability to survive that long

I was at 50% hp before first bar half HP

[tight rivet]

what the fuck is this shit

[worthy horizon]

i don't believe water guard or ground guard is ever optimal on latios even if you're weak to one of those types

[tiny hedge]

I'm free to experiment, but so far, Nothing has helped, he doesn't even have healing sun

[heavy sinew]

alright gamers who should I use my support cake on?

The only 3/5s are Lusamine, Glojo, and Emmet, the rest are 1/5

[chrome halo]

Lusamine for me

Emmet has flinch so i dont think he wants more bulk much

Elio is nice

[tiny hedge]

Yep, no luck

Even with 4 mp refreshes on tm to get sync early

Dies to surf

[heavy sinew]

1/5 Elio moment

Might do him if I get him 3/5 later on

[tiny hedge]

And just so you know

[heavy sinew]

mother it is

[bitter gate]

So a sololess unit, hmm

Didn't skippingmud get him too

[heavy sinew]

Dena releases worst unit of 2024

Asked to terminate the servers

[vital ibex]

he could probably get coba with dummy luck on flare blitz/heat wave

no hostile environment moment

[karmic willow]

I mean i won but damn it's close

[worthy horizon]

he should be bulkier than ss red thanks to sunscreen

screenshot shows that that mix blue doesn't have ex role

which you really don't need to bother investing in

[heavy sinew]

I thought this was the standard?

tried new mix

Got Tina dupe

this will be fun

[karmic willow]

Yeah but i am trying again lol

[heavy sinew]

Ah

[stuck mantle]

Ss red have propulsion

Wat reduce sync

Mix blue have nothing

Mix unit is the worst from last 2 years?

Lol dena need returen money

[worthy horizon]

xd

[stuck mantle]

Nobody scout pay gems for some unit wors then 4 year ss red

Its bad joke

[bitter gate]

He's not meant for LG

[stuck mantle]

Then for wat is he?

[modest oar]

Nobody scout mix for the featured unit

[bitter gate]

The other modes

[stuck mantle]

Lol check how many pick him from scout points

[bitter gate]

UB CS and whenever Fire HS comes back I guess

[tiny hedge]

I was Blessed cursed with him with 2 copies last night.

[vital ibex]

giving him heat wave is just such a weird choice when he could've gotten another tm like mix red

[tiny hedge]

also 4 hours of sleep

[vital ibex]

like yea its something to use outside of sun but you want sun up for neo bb

[stuck mantle]

I hope i will never get him from mix😂

[modest oar]

Also why would anyone click it when you can use Neo Blast Burn

[vital ibex]

exactly

[stuck mantle]

If i get him 1/5 forever

[bitter gate]

He's essentially mix red but putting everything into offense but no real defense

[modest oar]

He's good with SS Morty budget

[vital ibex]

a case can be made for flare blitz since it's physical

[stuck mantle]

Lol i have ss red whit morty

[worthy horizon]

he doesn’t have good tools for ubs

[karmic willow]

Bad offense at that

Like

[stuck mantle]

Dont need other duo

[karmic willow]

SEUN

My god

[modest oar]

SS Red can work with someone else for lg like Cobalion

[karmic willow]

I thought we are through with this

[karmic willow]

Ss red calem ez

[vital ibex]

To be honest mix blue is a p good partner for ss red

haymaker can be less of a meme if you use his tm on ss red

[modest oar]

Yeah it wasn't hard at all

[stuck mantle]

Mix blue have 10% burn from heat wave

[karmic willow]

Yeah

Like

Ss red 2.0

[modest oar]

So does SS Red

[stuck mantle]

How you burn coba

[karmic willow]

But damn they still hate heat wave hostile environment

[modest oar]

Heat Wave. He can heal from burn twice before he's immune

[stuck mantle]

How you can compare ss red whit mix blue?

You now how old is ss red?

[modest oar]

More sun, less damage

[stuck mantle]

And mix blue only better since have sun

Its bad joke

4 years ss red

And mix blue now

Are dena back in time?

We are in 2020?

[worthy horizon]

not particularly better than ss lysandre and ss lysandre fails to get any clears without being carried by c serena lol

[modest oar]

I think it's agreed SS Lysandre sucks too

Don't tell cs people lmao

[stuck mantle]

But his old too

[bitter gate]

Dahlia robbed his position essentially

[stuck mantle]

We talk about new units

[worthy horizon]

ss lysandre is a little inflexible but i still like him lol

[stuck mantle]

How new can be soo bad like 4 year old? Its important question

[bitter gate]

I mean most strike units aren't tailored for LG

Because they're literally meant to well

[stuck mantle]

He is field

Not striker
