Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)

[bitter gate]

I just need to avoid one Iron Tail

and I got it

[worthy horizon]

do you have a blaine team for terrakion?

[bitter gate]

was thinking tina/blaine but was also deliberating on how to make a cheaper support, eg HIlbret

[worthy horizon]

yeah tina was my first thought

ground weak hurts a lot though

[bitter gate]

needs a lot of precision I think, I haven't experimented it yet cause phoebe things

also my Phoebe is +10E btw

[worthy horizon]

rn i'm just hoarding orbs

400k

[robust nymph]

i'm at 500k

those orbs are gonna disappear in the blink of an eye once LG starts

[worthy horizon]

tina/blaine probably isn't gonna cut it, sustain isn't good enough to overcome the ground weakness even with ground guard

and blaine doesn't get enough sun uses to make the most out of healing sun i feel like

i'll just save it for kabu tbh

[chrome halo]

3 Caterpie hatched so far and all of them are 1 passive

i don't need super effective Tackle

[tender horizon]

Wtf

[bitter gate]

I'll let you know if I figure something out for Blaine

[bitter gate]

It's doable

I just need like maybe a parahax

or something

and I got it

[worthy horizon]

aye

[tender horizon]

Or idk try wise entry

[bitter gate]

no point

healthy healing is better + there are a lot of physical moves first bar

Phoebe can chip fast if she wants

if you're running Holiday Erika, run DC instead

for blitz

BP*

but not sure if BP Erika was done with other cheaper tihngs

the SS Leon duo was quite RNG centric and was down to dodge and the last wire

from naomi

So if anyone thinks I'm wasting Phoebe/BP Erika, do lmk

[median swan]

bp erika can tank for a damage-dealer

[bitter gate]

such as?

[median swan]

used her with lucas in the previous uxie lg, though that might not be a wise move now considering terrak

[bitter gate]

I feel lucas and SS Leon are more important units anyhow, with Leon debuffs being important for terrak

Phoebe/BP Erika is also variance free, but I'm trying to do Phoebe + egg Venomoth

which is within reach

[median swan]

i have her on regi coz of her def buffs but i get why she could go to uxie instead

[bitter gate]

there was also this sc steven trio that was done with her

but yeah, I think she has actually a pretty good uxie matchup

I think phoebe isn't a stinkball anymore, which is nice

also, the inspire ire trick can also be used for guaranteeing bar skips

[sharp lichen]

We ballin

[dense yew]

Is there a good auto team? I’m trying to get my cookie stocks back up this time

[stuck mantle]

This round auto team is limited and some may fail too

I test some and auto is risky since some times they dont use heal moves

[worthy horizon]

another video for self-reference that i uploaded if anyone else wants https://youtu.be/ZfzUlbU9aOw

[worthy horizon]

maxie/lodge blue def not as good, exr could manage

[olive swift]

How is streaks looking for this lg

Easy 100 streaks or no

100 streaks I mean

[worthy horizon]

highly depends per person but this is the hardest lineup since lg10 which was uxie/latias/moltres

can't judge that without knowing your roster

and even then

[bitter gate]

also people aren't used to managing a terrakion roster

doesn't mean they can't learn

but you know

this will have a lot of "suboptimal" stuff

and the Japanese tryhards will probably sit and wait/experiment before making a commitment

outside of the obvious solos

what was the minimum threhsold last time? 178, right?

[worthy horizon]

i assume they mean streaks of 100 rather than top 100 streaks

i am that person with too much free time so i'll be able to prepare a bunch and share some of it

it is admittedly a lot more empty here without nitsua though rip

[median swan]

it was 176. i don't think this rotation's cutoff is gonna reach that high haha

[worthy horizon]

def

most accessible arena being regirock is gonna be hugely limiting

[bitter gate]

youd be surprised how hard people can push

[chrome halo]

A lot of casual will not push far

Terrakion is a menace even with WTZ team i hate the nasty offensive buffs

[median swan]

lowkey think uxie is easier haha

[bitter gate]

what do you even solo regi with actually despite the highest count

caitlin

rose

what else

[median swan]

hop

[bitter gate]

not looking forward to the skyla solo on terrakion

kek

[mint osprey]

Wabbit jumping over the moon

[pearl beacon]

More like

[heavy granite]

Any 1/5 Gloria ideas for Regirock?

[stuck mantle]

Azzy did lg 7 whit sonia gloria 1/5

Duo

On regirock

Easy duo on terrakion

[stray sandal]

Bianca meant to dodge hyper beam?

Vs regi

[modest oar]

Regirock or Registeel?

[stray sandal]

Stew

Steel

[modest oar]

She can't dodge it

It's sure hit

Only way is to flinch it or kill before it happens

[stray sandal]

O I can’t 😦

[wide citrus]

Hop

[heavy granite]

Hmm yeah but only if I don't need Sonia for Uxie or terk
I didn't think she was that bad to need Sonia

[heavy granite]

No speed bro

[modest oar]

Hop can solo. It's overkill unless you only aim for 10

[stuck mantle]

Uxie too

Sadly regirock is too hard🤣 got 34%hp bar 3

[heavy sinew]

2/5 sc selene can solo terra?

whats stopping her from doing it 1/5?

ah

healing

and steel wish

disregard

[sturdy steeple]

Her 2/5 is pretty great

[heavy sinew]

ik, too bad i used my candies on nc serena

gonna have to wait some time until i get one again

will probably have to duo with 1/5 pal marnie

[modest oar]

Yeah I did both and they were first try wins

[modest oar]

Selene is field though

So different candies

I'm contemplating on making Selene 2/5 too

[heavy sinew]

i meant my omni candies

but yea

[modest oar]

Yeah but you should likely have field candies unless you wasted them on someone else

Like I have enough for 2 candies since I never spent any

[sturdy steeple]

We've been getting a lotta good fields so it's understandable to not have many candies for them if you pull for em

[stuck mantle]

Sadly reggi is too hard

[modest oar]

Don't use Red on Regi then

Rock weak and freeze immunity

[sturdy steeple]

Red is horrendously bad against regi

[modest oar]

Yeah. I'd use him on Tornadus before I'd use him on Regi

[sturdy steeple]

Most definitely

[modest oar]

CLeaf is also awful on Regi

She just do nothing to Bars 2 and 3

[sturdy steeple]

At least she's got pots tho, but you'd definitely rather use her somewhere else

[modest oar]

Though at this point you'd kinda say why even bother with her on Regi. It's like actively banging your head against the wall hoping to break it, and both have the same chance of working

[sturdy steeple]

Lol correct

[stuck mantle]

I just test it:)

[modest oar]

I mean be my guest. If you can also make the NC Serena solo on Regirock if you're that adamant on using her there even better

[stuck mantle]

Need alot luck for it. Whit flinch and miss bar 1 if not flinch. If you can skipp bar 2 raise def

Then yes but need flinch rock slide

Sadly serena dont have heal but hope some day dena make mf grid expansion or 5/5 and she get some it or eva up

[modest oar]

Petiton for restoring strikes for NC Serena

If gets it she likely does Moltres too

[sturdy steeple]

CCalem really feels like the leftovers of what could've been part of CSerena's kit

[modest oar]

Yeah. She should get the DU Gloria treatment

[vital ibex]

calem gets dz sync + extension and rain sync + extension 5

[stuck mantle]

Would be crazy

[stuck mantle]

Make it:)

Was super close and hard but can be done

And red got bar 3 flinch

Rock slide protect and flinch🤣

[modest oar]

Nice, but at this point you waste wtz on Regirock

Better use the duo on the other two

[dawn plume]

spark from a daily on bianca’s banner … it was ryuki… i didn’t have him so W i guess…

[modest oar]

Rykui is a nice fodder

I'm probably gonna use him on Uxie since he can burn

[stuck mantle]

Hhm hard tell if is waist since terrakion is more easy then reggi. But we will see . Just test it

[modest oar]

Terrakion is only easier with wtz

You don't want to underestimate him

[stuck mantle]

You can flinch him perma and sleep freeze

Its why is more easy no need terain wtz

Just take time run

[dawn plume]

idt he can burn at 1/5

[modest oar]

Mine is 3/5

With 3/5 he can

[heavy sinew]

wooo support cake

now we look at everything i have that needs it

so far its between
SS lusamine
nc bianca
ss gio

or ss korrina

[pliant glen]

Bianca lmao

[modest oar]

Bianca definitely

[stuck mantle]

Ss gio😎

[sturdy steeple]

sslusamine needs it more, but bianca is the way better unit who will make much better use outta it

[quaint tartan]

100% agree

[modest oar]

I agree, but I'll advocate for Bianca still

[sturdy steeple]

i would also def prefer caking her if you wanna be conservative with your cakes

lusamine does need support for some duos tho this rotation so keep that in mind

[modest oar]

She doesn't need EX R for Uxie, or at least I'm pretty sure she doesn't

[sturdy steeple]

terrak

tho again if you dont wanna cake, just add a third unit

[heavy sinew]

nah

[quaint tartan]

Im all in for the add a third team btw

Already caked Velio and sssteven, don’t wanna cake too many psychic units

[sturdy steeple]

tfw i have like almost every psychic unit caked

(not for the HSE boo boooo)

they just all are so good

[modest oar]

I could EX R Jacq but I'll wait until Moltres returns

His Terrakion solo isn't really diffcult

[sturdy steeple]

we love being patient in this house

[true tartan]

[sturdy steeple]

(something i am not good with

[kind imp]

I'm really good at being lazy patient

I've been pilling up uninvested units bc "I should see if I can lower smth before investing" but end up prioritizing other stuff

[sturdy steeple]

Unova neglect

[wide citrus]

what is the best grid for skyla

because i feel like she only really can get good with energy cap increase

[heavy sinew]

she doesnt

[loud shell]

solo or trio?

[wide citrus]

trio

like, i need both Gust and potion MPR

so either i increase cap or i am at mercy of rng

[loud shell]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/1600/58100?s=5&l=140&r=3&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFERQVFxgmKCks

[loud shell]

That's the one i generally run

[kind imp]

This is the standard

[loud shell]

Pick up unbending as needed

[wide citrus]

hmm

only one staggering?

[loud shell]

For a trio you generally arent using gust but supplying healing with potion

gust is nice but only one of the current gauntlet mons can be flinch locked

[wide citrus]

true

[river cliff]

Who's someone good to pair with Molayne for Regirock? Phoebe seems to be the go to but I want to try her duo with Erika on Uxie

[wide citrus]

it seems to work better than my grid before (which focused on staggering)

tho i def need more vigilance on my team

[pliant glen]

SS Erika?

[river cliff]

BP

[pliant glen]

That's interesting. Not sure if it'll work. The Molayne clear is super clutch as it is.

[robust nymph]

i've never properly minmaxed regirock before

last time we had regirock LG i was doing like 50 streaks

[sturdy steeple]

It's like among top 5 least fun stages to minmax

Number like 2 or 3 for me

[karmic willow]

yeah

it is

really ass

[karmic willow]

what's your top 5?

i'm guessing

[inner turret]

moltres lg #1 moltres lg #2 a very easy latios lg this one and uh idk

[karmic willow]

Cress Moltress Terrak Latias and this one?

[sturdy steeple]

Moltres cress Regirock terrakion and uxie not in that order maybe in that order

[modest oar]

I though Tornadus would be higher for you given last gauntlet

[inner turret]

for me yes kek

they were asking nao

[sturdy steeple]

Latios does suck to minmax too lol

Especially moreso bulu

[modest oar]

Not gonna include Cress since she's not there, but for me it's Moltres, Tornadus, Regirock, Latias and Terrakion

Special mention to Registeel

[sturdy steeple]

Tornadus isn't hard to minmax tbh it's mainly just a hard check on units

[inner turret]

and on patience

fucking self cleanse

[sturdy steeple]

It's also annoying to fight yeah

[modest oar]

Sure, but annoying to make teams for

Annoying to fight too

[sturdy steeple]

I mean I know basically what teams I'm using against tornadus everytime tbh

[modest oar]

Yeah guess that's true. Moltres is like that too

[inner turret]

copy pasting the teams

[sturdy steeple]

It's definitely a hard check on units

[quaint tartan]

Imma count the 5* coupon I need to 6EX some of the new stuff and call it a day, aiming for 120~140 ish

Everything above that is just rly good

[modest oar]

Oh look Cobalion being bullied by his sister

She's 1/5 EX R

[sturdy steeple]

very nice

[stuck mantle]

Lol nice hyper

[sturdy steeple]

the power of stats

[modest oar]

I'll try Latias too

https://youtu.be/u9R8CxVgasc

[pliant glen]

Figures lol

Do you think she can do Entei, Latias, Registeel at 1/5 EX R?

[karmic willow]

so true

@bright brook

how's planning coming along?

[modest oar]

Trying a different Registeel strat

[karmic willow]

rock

orr

steel

to be sure

[modest oar]

Steel

Stoic might be better than Vigilance

[true tartan]

I guess I was ahead on the entry huh

[modest oar]

Seems like it

I almost got Registeel but it's bad. She needs to use the B-move in Bar 2 but then I can't kill Bar 3 fast enough

[true tartan]

yeah

even with 2/5 0/20 that I tried

bar 2 requires the B Move

[modest oar]

I imagine she doesn't need 2 EX to solo though

20/20 should be enough

[modest oar]

You tried Stoic ls?

[pearl beacon]

Rip big bro
Btw her base potential is extra nice, I'll likely keep her 1/5

[true tartan]

it had vigi

[modest oar]

I got way better results on Registeel when I had Stoic

Maybe with it, you could actually do it

[true tartan]

[worthy horizon]

don't think it's too difficult since phoebe grid expansion

i probably won't be switching off it i think

[hallow gull]

Why do you want to ping someone at like 1AM-3AM ?

[karmic willow]

Idk maybe they are online like you

[hallow gull]

I want to sleep, i want to be lazy

[karmic willow]

Pyuko send me your teams I wanna see what you cooked this time

[karmic willow]

Same

[hallow gull]

My Laptop already died so i didn’t plan anything

[karmic willow]

Wait you got

Pc no?

You showed me one with the spheal cursor

[hallow gull]

I’m not at home rn

Need to work

[karmic willow]

Died to chip btw

[modest oar]

You probably shouldn't have the phone have loud notification at night anyways

[karmic willow]

Alright

Who's a good

Hail setter for Hala?

He can hit pretty hard

Tried pairing him up with grusha and

He did not get his potential realized

[kind imp]

everyone is a striker

[karmic willow]

Dammit

[kind imp]

or is pbea that solos smth else

so it'd need a trio

[karmic willow]

Also

Where do we drop

P bea

[kind imp]

i'll keep her for the end

[karmic willow]

Idk why but

[sturdy steeple]

if you wanna use pbea vs terrak, duo with pryce

[karmic willow]

I am tempted to just keep her on regirock for now

[karmic willow]

P bea cannot solo?

That's new

[sturdy steeple]

the uxie solo is super easy so dont do regirock

she can solo terrak but its her hardest solo

[karmic willow]

I got most teams on terrak

Figured out

Kinda

Onto regirock i guess

Uxie clears are 70% done

Meanwhile

Regirock clears are

20%?

Hell like

I am even considering

Acerola soloing that

Ss acerola solo regirock

I think i have said it here

If not then whoops but

I would much rather use tanks with self sustain on this

Synchro healing and all that

Because of his crit shield slows the entire game down

Then again it is hard if we do duos

Also it sucks that

Some nukers that are really good on uxie

Like lucas

Got their hands tied to terrakion

God i miss bp erika + lucas vs uxir

Where do we even get more pairs like it

Also

For whatever it is worth

Sc Ingo should have had insect healing

One of the rarest skills in the game and

Well,

Hr can combo better with his brother

Oh yeah

Sc ingo and emmet

If emmet syncs

He can one shot bar 1 after sync and hit

Problem is

Ingo is NOT tanking

[modest oar]

Ingo is only good for zone

He's pretty trash otherwise

[heavy sinew]

Oh yea Rafa did that

planning to use glacia tho since I only have 2/5 Steven

[karmic willow]

Ngl

I am planning to do

Candice and glacia

Problem is

Candice has follow through

She can "self set up"

So i need a tank for her

[river cliff]

Grant and Candice can work

[modest oar]

Did Registeel now

[vagrant crypt]

Beautiful!

[modest oar]

Took a long time to figure how to get around this one

You did Raikou?

[vagrant crypt]

I think I'll give up...

[modest oar]

It was that bad?

Wonder if Lithe lucky skill works

[vagrant crypt]

Maybe I just suck at the game haha. 😂
Not enough dodges and paralysis galore...

[rocky oasis]

1/5?

[vagrant crypt]

1/5 EX R.

[worthy horizon]

i feel like lithe should be the default lucky skill pick for raikou unless you know you need elec guard or something else more

[vagrant crypt]

I'll leave that for now...

Vigilance seems to me to be the best choice, but maybe I'm wrong. 🤔

[worthy horizon]

someone has to try with lithe

[modest oar]

Maybe I'll try tomorrow

[rocky oasis]

those crit equakes are gonna hurt

[modest oar]

On Raikou???

[rocky oasis]

thought this was about registeel?

[worthy horizon]

also idk when vigilance is reducing more damage than elec guard on raikou

[modest oar]

Registeel was done already

I'm uploading the video

[rocky oasis]

oh

[modest oar]

I used Stoic 2 on Registeel

[modest oar]

https://youtu.be/UVh70JkmYUM

[true tartan]

she has many different runs in all investments lol

[wild frost]

Bianca seems kinda nuts for this mode but eh I chose to pull no-thoughts-head-empty Cheren instead lol

[dawn plume]

ball guy was like the 2nd unit to solo all but 1 LA so he looked appealing at launch.... 1 year later he's rerunning but there are like 10 units who can do that now

no longer special

his rerun kinda mid

[modest oar]

Ball Guy also really need 3/5 to do his solos

[dawn plume]

not giving him exr is kinda dumb

for poke fair reruns only ig

[true tartan]

rip they're not giving him an EX Role

not like it'd change much on how he's played tho

[dawn plume]

nah not really

elaine kinda really overshadowed him as the permahealing support

[river cliff]

It would have at least been nice for rally. He's a good answer to Anabel

[inner turret]

if anything he'd be another support tech lol

[rocky seal]

Man, and to think at first the records show that NC BIanca needed 5/5 EX R for most of the solos. Now it's just 1/5 or 2/5 EX R for most of them. Quite impressive on how low people can go.

[modest oar]

I think the only one hard requiring 3/5 is Moltres. I think the rest can be done 2/5

[rocky seal]

Of course it's Moltres.

[inner turret]

the only one that hard requires flinch

[pearl beacon]

For now.. but eventually they will I think
After all old pfairs started with ssSteven after months

Just hope it won't be like the EX unlocked agony

1 each month

Also dropping f2p units EX-locked is a fkn crime, just why
Let us burn resources

[rocky oasis]

Honestly 1 ex unit a month sucks

let us ex blaine and clay if we want to

nanu And whitney really want the ex

[inner turret]

my +10E whitney deserves an ex

[pearl beacon]

Eve

But the Creamie upset me the most, cool event and tons of stamina burned to grind move lvls
No ex

[kind imp]

Sup ex eggmons

[rocky oasis]

lol i aint whaling enough to afford the resources

[modest oar]

Oh please no. I would run out of spirits so quickly

[river cliff]

You also can't use 5* tickets on them which kind of blows

[rocky oasis]

why would you want to???

[bright brook]

Not really good just too busy these days

[worthy horizon]

https://youtu.be/q4YaSV-Zh3k

pretty grindy but that should be a fairly ideal strat

[pearl beacon]

Looks noice

[worthy horizon]

ingo/ss brock is not looking good and i imagine ingo/grant would be even worse since you really want the maximum damage output

also brock takes 400 damage from a crit swift

[river cliff]

Idk, some guy out there might be crazy enough to 20/20 striker Clefable or something

Btw it can't solo Latios in case anyone was wondering

[rocky oasis]

finally have the chance to start working on exing my 4* strikers and

oh boy does ss brock need the extra stats

he's still way below noland and barry in my priority list tho

[median swan]

do barry next for his theme

[worthy horizon]

barry was one of the first i upgraded

i would be so much less skeptical of things being able to solo latias if alcremie could do it

but despite being perfectly geared for it on the surface she falls so short

[sturdy steeple]

latias hard

[kind imp]

Indeed

"Surely SS diantha can solo latias"
3 new SS diantha solos latter
Ok nope

Lucian also got registeel some time after I started wondering if he could do latias

[dawn plume]

latias just hits too hard

lucian can't take that much since his ONLY way of damage is sync

so he has to take so many hits

[worthy horizon]

oh yeah if you have 4/5 ingo you get access to sand slinger to debuff attack so all his terrakion stuff becomes much easier and you could pair with a lot more

i have 3/5

he can duo with hapu but i think you'd need minimum 3 sandstorm mprs and 3 potion mprs lol

vastly better option than ss brock

brock would need maybe 6 sandstorm mprs xd

[river cliff]

Would Dawn + Leafeon be a reasonable Terrakion clear?

[dawn plume]

mmm i worry that the earth powers will destroy her

i am debating candying rika to 3/5 i already have a team for 1/5 but i like her 3/5 grid but a lot of her solos are 5/5 locked but i cant invest THAT much

[median swan]

tried this and she takes too much damage from bar 1

[river cliff]

Hmm. Maybe a trio with Gardenia would work then

[river cliff]

I need to get myself out of duos only mode for this gauntlet or I'm going to have an awful time

[worthy horizon]

yeah terrakion compositions will benefit a ton from that

[heavy sinew]

Got poopy

Right before she left

[dawn plume]

poopy

is 3/5 rika worth or really only 5/5

[worthy horizon]

3/5 still gets vigilance, first aid 4, shielded on x spdef, and noxious hit

5/5 is just recuperation if you really want to use her to solo stuff

[sturdy steeple]

3/5 is very very much worth it

[dawn plume]

hmmmm i have a team for her this lg already and i only have 2 support candies... if next month doesnt have a good support i might do it

running her with 1/5 f roxanne on terrakion

[bitter gate]

I assume that Acerola/naomi has already done terrakion?

not gonna deviate from that if so

[worthy horizon]

well i haven't and idk what anyone else has done if anything

[bitter gate]

this LG probably won't be so much about getting the leaderboard as much as just

refining comps for future use

not a lot of experimentation on Terrakion after all

I know Cait + Tech Espeon can duo Terrakion

Not sure if that's too much of a waste, but I'd say it's already the best option unless fsr Tate does more things

[worthy horizon]

seems very cheap for a terrakion clear already

only eggmon duo i have is tech meowth to help ss cyrus

[bitter gate]

I also wanted to try Ghetsis + egg glaceon

but I was wondering if Ghetsis was better for Uxie anyhow

[worthy horizon]

i'm running ghetsis + skyla

idk if i have glaceon

i do

seems like pain but i have to try

actually nah

[kind imp]

Lucian+flincher on terrak?

His nuke is insane so idk if he needs wtz

[bitter gate]

hmm

cait + egg espeon

is tough

but doable

it's really all about how you blitz

[robust nymph]

So somehow i missed the part where nc bianca solos all LAs?

Holy fucking shit

[bitter gate]

god damn it

I didn't queue in time

If I did I could've won that

or if I had more drops

I didn't even any dodges

just ranges

[worthy horizon]

i'll give up on that one for tonight

[bitter gate]

do you want me to try this

I think it's

actually not that bad

[worthy horizon]

go ahead

[robust nymph]

Holy shit what's the strat here

[bitter gate]

being a Phoebe simp: the strat

and well, there's no strat, just very good management of ranges

[robust nymph]

[bitter gate]

and you have to quad queue right

my Phoebe is 150 +10 E

for context

[robust nymph]

[karmic willow]

SC Zinnia

And umbreon duos terrakion

I might do that

[worthy horizon]

lodge lillie ss blue duo vs terrak shouldn't be too difficult if you have both ex'd

my lodge lillie is 5/20

i feel like i'm going to run out of terrakion duos before i hit 100

only have 18 teams there

well i have 4 more than that that i didn't list down yet

[karmic willow]

Okay

What the hell

Some japanese dudes just did

Riley and BEEDRILL

Support even

[bitter gate]

Hmm.

[karmic willow]

Like what the hell

[bitter gate]

If I got one more snatch

I would've got it.

Damn.

[karmic willow]

Interesting

Gonna steal this

Ft2?

Also do you just

One tap bar 2 from full!

[worthy horizon]

bar 2 has the same durability as bar 3 under wtz

and he's not one-tapping bar 3

oh didn't get the base sync multiplier though

also is that ex grimsley

[karmic willow]

alright bet

[karmic willow]

how many syncs in?

right

Remember to remind me

that

Strike Starmie can actually do shit with both scald and water pulse

A bit old but

Japanese are built different against Tornadus

i'll probably never do any of these though

but good to know

[hallow gull]

[karmic willow]

okay what the fuck

[karmic willow]

help

[hallow gull]

Why me ?

[bitter gate]

yeah it oneshots

[hallow gull]

[bitter gate]

that was without the innate

so with it it just cleanly kills

[hallow gull]

Oh do you pull Bianca yet ?

[karmic willow]

why not

[karmic willow]

2 5* nothing good

[hallow gull]

[karmic willow]

not even tierno

ouch

[hallow gull]

I still dont have Tierno

[karmic willow]

you gonna tell me you got bianca huh?

never punished

[hallow gull]

[karmic willow]

#gacha-and-flex message

[karmic willow]

i hate you so much sometimes you know that

[stuck mantle]

Haha love and hate😘

[hallow gull]

If you stop pinging me at 1-3 AM then maybe i’ll not annoy you anymore

[errant plume]

Do you have a link ?

[mint osprey]

This LG is definitely brutal. There is no easy target

[karmic willow]

never

[mint osprey]

So I just got SS Steven at 5/5 thanks to Mix. Terrakion?

[karmic willow]

not after both NC so soon for you

[karmic willow]

yes\

[hallow gull]

[karmic willow]

it do be funny sometimes

[karmic willow]

it's from a different server so

no links yet

i'd rather do machamp

for theme skills

[errant plume]

[heavy sinew]

That acerola team is crack

What the hell

[pliant glen]

It works for a lot of stages too

Idk if I should use it on Terrak or Uxie

[karmic willow]

Okay so

Time

The top climber

Said that

You can do ss lusamine and espeon duo on terrakion

Without dodging

[heavy sinew]

but EXR needed tho

[karmic willow]

Yes

It's kind of expected

Anyone did that?

[heavy sinew]

ima give it a try

no discombobulate you say?

then its just brute force

[hollow ether]

Oh no, same to me, i did that duo like 2 days ago & i almost clear it 😂

[heavy sinew]

no EX grimsley?

[hollow ether]

EX him

[heavy sinew]

dang

[hollow ether]

If I got 1 more flinch, can clear it 😅

Need a lot of restart tho

[stuck mantle]

This duo work good

[heavy sinew]

plz let it be 4* sycamore

or 5*

i dont wanna EX

[hollow ether]

I also almost clear by using duo Caitlin + sleeper by brute force

[heavy sinew]

thats a good one

chain broke?

or not enough speed?

[hollow ether]

Yeah

Sleep chain suck 😅

[heavy sinew]

rough

[hollow ether]

Just little bit more to sync, i'm done 😅

I'm unlucky with sleep chain

Always failed to use solo lodge N 😅

[heavy sinew]

i am not doing that

too much for me

i will however try and do that caitlin duo

seems pretty good

[hollow ether]

I did Lear + eggmon exeggutor too & i manage to clear it

[heavy sinew]

dang no lear

[bitter gate]

Caitlin can duo it with egg Espeon

But you need to be

Really lucky

[heavy sinew]

im using espeon with lussa

budget cait

[hollow ether]

Planning to use Espeon with SS lusamine

[bitter gate]

Is 3/5 mandatory or

[hollow ether]

Have not try yet

[heavy sinew]

for caitlin?

or lusa?

[bitter gate]

Lusamine

[heavy sinew]

lusa is def 3/5

discombobulate

[bitter gate]

Might be the better call idk

[hollow ether]

Definitely 3/5

[bitter gate]

Mine is exr but 1/5

[heavy sinew]

brain sync

[hollow ether]

Mine is 3/5 + 6E 😅

[heavy sinew]

same

[hollow ether]

Because of last HSE physics

[pearl beacon]

She's not exactly an enabler
She has some good procs chances but way less safe than units like Fantina

[heavy sinew]

super freebie 9?

[pearl beacon]

The hell I forfot abt that one lol

[heavy sinew]

i forgot too

[pearl beacon]

Oh right, Terrakion in LG

I guess we never used that node at all
Then should be easy af

[heavy sinew]

ima test it tho

[pearl beacon]

Same, also freebie will help with shitty slowmons like butterfree

Just not sure of the vieability, she's still a beefy unit playing on a SE stage

[robust nymph]

NC nate goes to terrakion i suppose?

i don't want to do the solo

[scenic bolt]

Then duo

Don’t be maso

[robust nymph]

yeah i'm only planning to do around 100ish

[errant plume]

It's true yes
I dodged a Stone Edge but missed my queue entering bar 3, ate EQ and got Rafa'd
So I took an extra hit for nothing

[heavy sinew]

very silly clear

This one's a keeper

[robust nymph]

caitlin enables sleepchain?

is it her free move passive?

[heavy sinew]

yes

super freebie 9

[scenic bolt]

Wdym enable sleep chain?

[heavy sinew]

pairs that have passives which allows them to chain multiple sleep uses

[robust nymph]

some units have passives that always trigger after they move, ensuring the enemy pokemon wakes up, so you can guarantee your sleep lands

[heavy sinew]

fast track 9, acumen 9, super freebie 9, amped up, etc

[robust nymph]

it's more so these passives give you a better idea of the timing of when the enemy wakes up

knowing which pairs are sleepchain enablers is a gamechanger i swear

[scenic bolt]

I see

[robust nymph]

anyway. wow i'm low on regirock teams

[heavy sinew]

me too

[hallow gull]

Learn how to do it is more important

But after you know it, it is pretty easy

[heavy sinew]

just gotta understand how the chain goes

[robust nymph]

sometimes i still fumble my sleepchain though haha

[heavy sinew]

i almost died in this run btw

got hit by close combat and was at 2%

[scenic bolt]

As a 3v3

I just spam the button

Make it go last

It usually works

[robust nymph]

does anyone have a kgrimsley support arbok video duo on regirock

or on any LA basically

[heavy sinew]

i remember someone did that

[robust nymph]

it should always work, 3v1 sleepchain's way easier

[heavy sinew]

i dont have arbok sadly

i need a replacement

[robust nymph]

any +6 speed mon

[heavy sinew]

golbat it is

[pearl beacon]

Yup
Ooks like terrakion has no priority stuff forcing you to double qq sleep

[heavy sinew]

bar 3 is tricky

[robust nymph]

how so

[heavy sinew]

i think things change and you cant chain as well as the other bars

[robust nymph]

mmmm

[heavy sinew]

cause i did the regular sleep chain and it queued faster than usual

i was at the same speed of queuing moves

if not faster

[robust nymph]

it happens to me sometimes too. last LG bulu would wake up in the middle of the bar and hammer me

[heavy sinew]

but for some reason it queued moves before i clicked on caitlin

maybe because i swapped to psychic instead of hidden power?

not sure

[kind imp]

Was it in the first sleep after the transition?

[heavy sinew]

no

i know when to queue on those

its like after

cause if it wasnt for that i wouldnt get hit by CC

[pearl beacon]

Happens the same on others when the chain isn't long enough
Catalytic cure or mprs are interfering, eggmon hp regen drops or stuff like this

[heavy sinew]

its def not regen

[hollow ether]

Wow you finally did it

Super freebie 9 is important

[heavy sinew]

yes it is

[pearl beacon]

So you have to adapt a new cycle if you notice that, going Cait->sleep->Cait->sleep

[heavy sinew]

i do cait sleep vine whip cait sleep vine whip cait

[pearl beacon]

Regen can screw up sometimes, noticed on chains with Ramos

Varying the chain

[hollow ether]

I also did this but sometimes my sleep chain suck 😂

Even i have done that

Idk why

[heavy sinew]

yes it is very weird

[hollow ether]

My sleep chain is kinda random

[robust nymph]

my sleepchain is consistent until bar 3 where i usually will fumble something

[robust nymph]

but this is probably the case

[pearl beacon]

Solid chains usually have that one skill, timing is always the same except for the double sleep required on some stage bar transition
Noted on Azelf, from LG 13
Ramos Siebold, popping up regen can cause the chain to break

Btw butterfree is pain
Super freebie9 and mgr4 were barely enough
Had to use move gauge boost to keep up

[hollow ether]

Lucian should use for terrakion or uxie? 🤔

[heavy sinew]

lucian kills terra very easily

[hollow ether]

I'm kinda confused to build team for this LG 😅

[pearl beacon]

Terra, he's quite nice if you got him EX

[heavy sinew]

trying to do that kimono grimsley team

[hollow ether]

My Lucian was already EX

[heavy sinew]

holy

its pretty tough

[hollow ether]

Terrakion & Uxie is worst combo rotation, hard to optimize the team 😂

[karmic willow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MucF7g7w_x4

+10E

fuck this

[hollow ether]

My Volo is still 2/5, i wonder if it will work too

[scenic bolt]

what is this background music

[karmic willow]

that's what I did back then

[scenic bolt]

and why does it suck

[heavy sinew]

ok done

[scenic bolt]

[karmic willow]

no attack debuffs you're cooked

[heavy sinew]

i have 1/5 exr volo

scary

[pearl beacon]

First time terrakion so ppl has to shuffle comps
Uxie is overall fine
Regirock is boring

[scenic bolt]

it doesnt fit at all lmfao

[karmic willow]

ask the creator not me

[karmic willow]

i might steal this tbh

too many new sleeps

not enough enablers

fantina? Uxie

Siebold? Uxie

fuuuuuuu

[karmic willow]

me with barely any

[heavy sinew]

Not arbok

[pearl beacon]

That clutch 1% miss

[heavy sinew]

built like that

rough in gauge

also rafas

[hollow ether]

Ig it does not work either if i only rely on 1 debuff base skill & duo with eggmon

[robust nymph]

with who?

[robust nymph]

[heavy sinew]

anyone really

flincher ig

[karmic willow]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/15600/44800?s=5&l=150&r=6&p=0&a=21010101&g=AAECAwQFCwwOIyYpKywtLg

@errant plume

I got you the riley grid

[hollow ether]

I prefer lucian + eggmon flincher

[karmic willow]

according to them

[heavy sinew]

riley solo?

[karmic willow]

duo

[heavy sinew]

oh

i was gonna say

[karmic willow]

with attack buff eggmon

imma do machamp for theme skills

[heavy sinew]

wait

how do you win

[karmic willow]

i'm typing it down dammit

[heavy sinew]

i forgot he doesnt have iron head

but iron tail

lol

[hollow ether]

Hmm +4E needed?

[karmic willow]

not really

i just like to dream and optimize it

lol

2 syncs on first bar to not trigger Iron defense. Do not use T-Move (Trainer move?) before first regirock sync

or whatever

[hollow ether]

Ahh xd

[heavy sinew]

huh

thats

something ig

and it's on twitter

have fun

i am so stealing this

[inner turret]

registeel all over again

[dawn plume]

well he’s not soloing this time lol

[karmic willow]

it's a

1hp

clear

do NOT cook

unless

god gear

[hollow ether]

Nice duo, might partner with another atk buff eggmon

[karmic willow]

machamp

PLEASE

the theme skills

extra hp

extra attack

everything makes more sense

[hollow ether]

Idk i have it or not 😅

Let me see later

Any suggestion where i put Adaman solo?

Uxie maybe?

And also Irida? Hard time to use her duo with eggmon for terrakion, her grids are kinda expensive

[heavy sinew]

irida is pretty hard to work with

mines is only 1/5

so idk if eggmon works

[hollow ether]

Mine is 3/5 +6E

I add extra energy cuz of this terrakion lol

But still does not work xD

[lost juniper]

Hi, I had problems with my old discord account so I had to make a new one

[heavy sinew]

who are you and what did you do with the real hyperstar

[lost juniper]

I'm still me though. Can I do anything to prove it's me

[heavy sinew]

do a flip

ok now i know its you

[lost juniper]

I can show my planning sheet. Only the real hyperstar has access to it

[errant plume]

Thank youuuu

[heavy sinew]

true!

[robust nymph]

thank you for the warning

[lost juniper]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1n_Kw4hDmy87hkek43rjIMwqaS6gKwWwVdNPSyrhkdTA/edit#gid=0

Sorry for the headache everyone, but am I good now?

[robust nymph]

the heck, give regi that focus band title

[heavy sinew]

how do you do that ss misty vaporeon clear

i feel like she doesnt hit hard enough

[lost juniper]

SS Misty is really strong with her nuke

The bigger question is how they live

[scenic bolt]

Wait what happens to you

That sounds wrong

But you know what I mean

[heavy sinew]

i know that

[scenic bolt]

[heavy sinew]

its just that vaporeon doesnt live long enough

so idk

[lost juniper]

Got scammed by someone and had to change accounts

[scenic bolt]

Ah rip

[heavy sinew]

rip

[hallow gull]

Some Uxie duo

[lost juniper]

Yeah. I liked my old account

[errant plume]

Quaxly is the only eggmon that can survive because he has HH

For SS Misty

[heavy sinew]

ah

[lost juniper]

You tested it?

[errant plume]

And First Aid 2

[heavy sinew]

so i was confusing them both

[errant plume]

I tested 2-3 hours of double Vaporeon, the egg dies bar 2

[scenic bolt]

Yer other account is still active

That could be bad

[robust nymph]

cheryl giovanni

[lost juniper]

Yeah it can be pretty bad

Idk what to do though

[scenic bolt]

Contact discord support ig though I doubt they’d help that much

[river cliff]

I'm pretty sure support sprigatito can work

[heavy sinew]

tell the mods to ban the account

[hallow gull]

I already did before, it isn’t that bad

[lost juniper]

Where can I contact them

[robust nymph]

dm lear

[hallow gull]

3 Cheryl’s Tm mpr

[robust nymph]

so you just don't sync with giovanni until bar 2 for the confusion or...?

[hallow gull]

Brute bar 2

[robust nymph]

ah

[hallow gull]

He is on type so he melt pretty fast

The problem is keeping him and Cheryl survive

[scenic bolt]

we cannot just pingus a mod here?

[errant plume]

Then your Sync doesn't wipe Terra's HP because you no longer have the rain boost

[heavy sinew]

its a delicate matter so its best to dm thrm

[hallow gull]

For thing like this should pm mod

~~Mostly ping Arch to pin something ~~

[scenic bolt]

[hallow gull]

[robust nymph]

how about that shauntal lodge acerola duo

hot to the touch on grid?

or it's another brute force bar 1 situation

[hallow gull]

Yeah, from Dazzling Gleam early

Dmg control so that shauntal can nuke half bar 1

But you also can use static cling on L Acerola

[river cliff]

You have to farm 2 sync buffs on bar 1 before nuking it. Mind games might be a bit more optimal for one shotting bar 2 if you don't want to +10e her

[hallow gull]

More reliable

[robust nymph]

oh wtf

[robust nymph]

oh yeah this was a thing

[robust nymph]

okay last question. bp barry bp zinnia

[heavy sinew]

i cant seem to make quaxly live on bar 2

[robust nymph]

i've never seriously used bp zinnia for damage before LMAO

[heavy sinew]

does it have to be 5*
?

and im guessing misty needs vigi instead fo witty hit

[robust nymph]

hmm, i'm planning to use lodge acerola with colress right now but last time it was too easy. any suggestions who to use colress with

[hallow gull]

Pray dont trap early or just dont use Absorb

[robust nymph]

dear lord

[hallow gull]

Use Stun Spore, Tm or Synthesis to lower Sync CD and keep him survive

After that awful bar 1 Uxie will become easier

Oh and maybe Bp Zinnia has HH ?

I dont remember

[river cliff]

Yup. You need to grid grand entry 1 and team smart infliction 4 for the sp atk buffs

[robust nymph]

i'll.... consider this

[errant plume]

The thing is, you're already farming 2 Sync Buffs with Quaxly
The real question here is if Sprigatito can survive and more importantly : it is worth using it over the Tech ?

[karmic willow]

Irida

And bp candice

Candice will dodge and freeze

And also provide Hail twice

And more damage

[dawn plume]

https://vxtwitter.com/Luri_Choucho/status/1794975511459844209 looking through luri twitter again to look for new clears and i am laughing at them only missing 3 units from the mix pool and one of them is ss red

[heavy sinew]

how unlucky must you be to miss ss red

[scenic bolt]

Ssred wild

He’s my only 5/5 pokefair

[lost juniper]

She chose good

Jacq supremacy

[scenic bolt]

I love jacq design

Such a cool unit

[lost juniper]

Jacq as a character is fine. As a unit he's bonkers

[dawn plume]

i mean with 3/5 mix blue you really don't need ss red anymore lol

[river cliff]

If you grid Misty with team shielding infliction yes it can survive. As to whether it's more worth it to use over the tech variant, I'm not sure. I guess that would come down to whether you have sufficient flinchers to use, but it's tough to say for sure

[scenic bolt]

Well as a character he’s not much cuz sv doesn’t have a lot for those outside of main trio and gym leader

But as a unit he’s so cool

So unique

[sturdy steeple]

how fortunate*

[scenic bolt]

Big fan

[sturdy steeple]

never did need him for anything

[scenic bolt]

Never?

[heavy sinew]

true

[scenic bolt]

You were not there

For years 1

Muahahahaa

He was mandatory for a comfy existence

[sturdy steeple]

ive been playing since day 1

[true tartan]

he was the easy-mode for when he was released

you could still win without him, but he was perfect for new accounts created at the time

[scenic bolt]

Why never then?

[sturdy steeple]

what stdk just said

[pearl beacon]

If you're using sup sprig better to stick w qualxy at this point and keep the cat for a grass unit
But I think many will prefer the tech for flinch chains

[scenic bolt]

U just didn’t like ssred?

[sturdy steeple]

"need", he was not necessary

[scenic bolt]

No unit ever necessary

[true tartan]

eh... debatable haha

[scenic bolt]

[true tartan]

supports/tech are necessary

more than strikes

but that is as "a role"

[sturdy steeple]

f2ps cover the "need" quite nicely in this game

[scenic bolt]

I just say there is no need

[pearl beacon]

Looking back, Legendary adventure units are insanely strong now

[true tartan]

looks at Zinnia

[scenic bolt]

[pearl beacon]

except zinni

[lost juniper]

She's the exception

[scenic bolt]

shes like the black sheep of the family yanno

[lost juniper]

Giovanni in a way too

[scenic bolt]

spelling her name is too hard for trope too

doesnt wanna acknowledg her existence

[true tartan]

Giovanni has an advantage...
