Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)

[median swan]

and then with uxie, while there's a lot of proven duos, a lot of the units here would rather be in one of the two other stages instead

[worthy horizon]

75 pairs used so that's very close to a quarter of my roster used already

yeah terrakion took up all my strongest units

[median swan]

44-75 is a great ratio

[stuck mantle]

Im 40/41

[lost juniper]

I think I used like 50ish units so far?

Stopped solos after the 32nd fight

[stuck mantle]

Most off solos is realy hard

[median swan]

i was around the same haha, 33 solos then went with duos with a few regirock solos sneaked in

[stuck mantle]

Uxie skipp bar 2 and terra regi is pain

[lost juniper]

I'm already struggling with Regi duos

I did not prepare well at all

[median swan]

i don't think anyone did haha, at least relative to the previous two rotations

i had like 5 planned regi duos going into the rotation

[stuck mantle]

Pain is regi uxie is bar 2

[karmic willow]

yeah hell no lmfao

[bitter gate]

im at like

38/60? atm?

[karmic willow]

58/92

so

not bad

i still have plenty of solos left

so

it's not final

[shy gale]

Can Kiawe not burn Uxie preemptively pls

Thanks

[karmic willow]

huh

24 solos

not halfbad

[shy gale]

Pain

The first ember always burns like ffs

Now my syncs don't crit

[median swan]

oof viawe's solo is annoying yeah

like it's easy but it's also easy for things to go wrong lol

oh wow

people are finding real use of ss hilbert

aka mr i can't do too much this time

[median swan]

he was my bp erika partner haha

[karmic willow]

WHAT?

[median swan]

but ooh marley is way cheaper

[karmic willow]

i am

so lost rn

[karmic willow]

how does bp erika survive the ice punches early on?

[karmic willow]

idk, i mean it's still a whole ex support

[median swan]

healthy healing

[karmic willow]

of course... something i don't have yet

[median swan]

i recorded it so i'll upload it later this week but it's fairly straightforward, just vulnerable to natcrits

[karmic willow]

will look into it

[median swan]

and uxie's usual bs

[karmic willow]

think i'll still ship marley and lodge skyla

[rocky oasis]

the ss diantha solo for terrakion is miserable

[karmic willow]

also

still no bianca : (

3 multis already

[karmic willow]

you bet

[rocky oasis]

I keep ending up w/ 1% left on bar 3

[karmic willow]

one crit and you're DONE

[rocky oasis]

tthen again i have 3/5 ss diantha

[karmic willow]

get better gear tbh

like

critastrophie and whatnot

[rocky oasis]

oh yeah I had a couple wtz change move shit i didnt wanna swap out

tossed in roark

[karmic willow]

wow looking at like

222 clears this time

and potentially more if i can keep finding comps for regirock

i did do a few atrocious solos on it so

it's possible this time

[bitter gate]

I used Shauntal for Marley

but tbqh any decent bar 2 skipper

is enough

with marley

[karmic willow]

meh i did the dps one

lodge skyla is cool

kinda sucks that

[bitter gate]

mix and match

[karmic willow]

holiday jasmine is really

out there

[karmic willow]

doesn't shauntal gain speed herself?

that's my biggest gripe with that clear

speed is valuable

[bitter gate]

i mean, that's not the reason I ran her

I ran her because I can brute force while working with Marley's limited pool

[karmic willow]

do you have holiday jasmine tho

[bitter gate]

Sure something like Skyla works just as well because Flabbergast eases your window

no, but even then why the heck would you duo holiday jasmine with shauntal anyway unless she's uninvested

[karmic willow]

i mean

who else?

[bitter gate]

my Shauntal is also expanded

[karmic willow]

gotta make use of that

Superduper effective

i tend to overthink stuff and want to use a unit to it's full potential

like every part of their kit is utilized

example like alcremie on uxie

and sonia duo on uxie instead of regirock solo

[bitter gate]

whatever floats your boat

[karmic willow]

lodge lillie on uxie is another

[bitter gate]

different people have different comps and preferences

[karmic willow]

true

[bitter gate]

lillie being used on a non terrakion stage feels like a waste

• I thought SS Blue + lodge lillie also duoed terrakion

[karmic willow]

yes but

you can do two whole uixe comps with that

ss blue + hau

is a thing

also dayummm

emma can solo uixe

imma add a support eggmon just in case

[bitter gate]

well, people have different priorities and mix and matches

let them have it

[shy gale]

Sit down

Finally

[karmic willow]

wait

how many characters have that

extra damage on sync

[stuck mantle]

222 wins? Lol

[karmic willow]

when defense is lowered

things like

Lodge SIlver

[raven crane]

Innate Relentless?

[karmic willow]

yeah

i only remember a few

[karmic willow]

huh?

which pairs?

like

Lodge Rosa

Lodge Silver

[stuck mantle]

Nc hop

[karmic willow]

A.Grimsley

NC Hop

[raven crane]

Kimono Grimsley, Dojo Gloria.

[stuck mantle]

Dojo

[raven crane]

SS May.

[karmic willow]

whirls of solitude though

what is it

[tender horizon]

Impressive

[raven crane]

Silver.

[karmic willow]

ah right

[raven crane]

SC Steven and Brawly.

[karmic willow]

still

silver is not bad

against terrakion

[tender horizon]

@bitter gate got grid?

[karmic willow]

just flinch and nuke under rain

ez game

but that's a trio

[tender horizon]

Im interested in Phoebe and BP Erika duo

[bitter gate]

oh if you're running BP erika just run DC

and inspire ire

and just be smart in juggling pressure away from erika

and you're good to go

lol

i decided against it because it was too easy

[robust nymph]

what damage dealers have been known to bruteforce terrakion without field effects? i'm wondering if Lucian + flincher can work

[median swan]

it should yeah

i've been going back and forth on whether i should use him on uxie or terrak tho

lear can also clear terrak with a flincher

[karmic willow]

go crazy

use lear + support quaxly

dps bar 2 and nuke bar 3

[median swan]

oh that's smart haha

[karmic willow]

i

got pretty close with it actually

your nuke instant kills bar 1

kinda

if not then just do one hyperspace hole and

done

lear can live long enough

huh

variety agatha can carry even Iris

interesting

[robust nymph]

alright lucian needs two syncs to take down bar 3, I just need to reach that 2nd sync

[karmic willow]

@bright brook

i would recommend using SS Lusamine with Ninetails

if you have exr

[bright brook]

I do not have her EXR. Besides, I already used her

[karmic willow]

oh then

nvm

no exr means you need espeon

also

really thinking

who pairs well with support dragonite this time?

my default pick would be it and sycamore

[robust nymph]

how does this work? i tried yesterday but couldn't clear fast enough

[karmic willow]

idk but

some japanese peeps did it

: (

[robust nymph]

ss lusamine tanks right?

she folds way too quickly for me

[chrome halo]

she really wants EXR for that

and absurd dodge luck

[karmic willow]

dodge

honestly tho

if easiest

espeon

don't torture yourself

[bitter gate]

hmmm

literally didn't even need MPR on healing lol

and I was running the wrong gear

[robust nymph]

[karmic willow]

fascinating

[bitter gate]

"doesn't kill fast enough" btw

[karmic willow]

i mean you had a support

that can do that

debuff fast enough so

anything goes

i did not factor in the lenora pick

damn

ngl i might do that clear

[bitter gate]

I'm not

[karmic willow]

and invest more cheaters like anni N to uxie

lenora is a really weird pair this time

she got the drops

she got the flinches

but bar 3 mercilessly kills her

[lost juniper]

What move level was Lenora?

[karmic willow]

most likely 3/5 for flinch

i think

[bitter gate]

Uhh, 3/5, but I doubt it's needed

[lost juniper]

She flinches at 3/5? Oh wow

[bitter gate]

But yes I just run staggering with sync Regen and tether

Didn't even get mpr

[chrome halo]

iirc she gets Staggering at 2/5

[bitter gate]

She only needs to survive the first bar anyway

[karmic willow]

oh shiiiiet

[bitter gate]

Victor oneshots the second bar

Then he can just poke the third down

Granted you can also do the other way around

[karmic willow]

max move let's go

[bitter gate]

Max phantasm oneshots a bar

And bar 2 is special so Lenora is less pressured

[karmic willow]

bar 1 is rough

[karmic willow]

true

half bar got focus blast though

scary

but lol not that important

[bitter gate]

I mean

Just haze the first bar

And fish for stone edge misses

You can take it

I didn't really pressure myself at least

[karmic willow]

NICE

also

i am seriously doubting the viability of oak and liza

like if you take a look at the damage that YOU deal

on terrakion

is far less on uxie

you don't get to use your full kit

[lost juniper]

Oak should be used on Uxie

[karmic willow]

screw it

oak and liza straight to uxie

[robust nymph]

yeah i've been trying with tate but

40% flinch is so bad

[karmic willow]

yeah maybe i'll stop at 222

already planned out like more than half of my roster

the rest has to fill in

knowing myself

trios are expected

[tender horizon]

Its not enough

[karmic willow]

huh

39

39 trios atm

assuming every other clear is a duo

[robust nymph]

yeah, even using tech alakazam is still pretty tight

[wicked tusk]

Third run down

[errant plume]

Or even better if you keep Ash on Uxie

[robust nymph]

holy shit terrakion is so annoying to duo

[bitter gate]

In other words, water is wet hue

Gonna continue clear cooking in the meanwhile

Maybe I'll waste a trio

For my next clear

[wicked tusk]

If you're using an eggmons, yes

[river cliff]

I'm honestly thinking about doing a trio using Tate and tech Slowbro as flinchers. Hopefully that alleviates the terrible flinch rates a bit

[heavy sinew]

my dumbass thought this was event blue

[robust nymph]

i wouldn't waste yet another flincher tbh

[karmic willow]

NAWRRRRRR

you didn'ttttt

still

using ninetails is better since

you get value out of it being weak to groun

more efficient

and uhh

ash busy fighting with jolt

still

@errant plume how did you get past bar 2

[robust nymph]

insane dodge game

i could never

i might break and start trioing terrakion soon, this is so bullshit

also I need a team for 3/5 EX Anni N

[vital ibex]

personally i'd throw him to terrakion

ignores wtz passives + can keep his atk and sp atk buffs in check

idk about a support though, probably one that has no or minimal offensive buffing since he can do it all himself, maybe a synchro healer

[errant plume]

Spam Prism Laser
And Ninetales is weak to Rock, not Ground like Jolteon. And with SS Lusamine, you never let Terrakion Sync so that weakness never comes to play
And Ninetales has healing and a 1-gauge move, Jolteon doesn't have that

[heavy sinew]

terrakion beating my ass rn

[errant plume]

Dodging Stone Edge wasn't difficult but 2 Earth Power after that was something
But pretty sure I needed to dodge only one

[heavy sinew]

i can never get above 50% hp for bar 3 for nc serena

everything hits

[karmic willow]

dies to sync kekw

alright bois

how do we use Zinnia this time

surely the has to be a way for her to kill the darn thing fast enough right?

i mean she lives and breathes wtz so

it's a choice

[lost juniper]

I may use her with SS Kris

Cause mine is 2/5 so no solo

[feral plank]

where would ssa cynthia be better? terra or uxie? solo

[river cliff]

Maybe duo with anni Raihan?

[dawn plume]

her terra solo is really bad

i would recommend a duo

[lost juniper]

This gotta suck a lot

[river cliff]

I don't think there are many teams for her that won't

[lost juniper]

If someone isn't using EX R SS Morty she works with him too

[river cliff]

Being weak to rock is pretty rough

[lost juniper]

Morty isn't rock weak though?

[feral plank]

electric

[river cliff]

Zinnia is rock weak

[lost juniper]

Oh that sucks so much

[sturdy steeple]

She's like the worst unit ever this rotation

If she wasn't already bad enough,,

[feral plank]

20 dark voids , only 1 attack debuff

2 hits from terrakion 70% hp left cause of that

[karmic willow]

you not only have to invest in SOMETHING that can allow her to live

but it's gonna be wtz

so

either a beatstick for Uxie on things like BP barry

and even THEN it's still bad

[sturdy steeple]

Yeah she's just horrible

[karmic willow]

like

the only plausible choice

would be morty

morty + her

and then

leave flint as a dodge tank for anni N

or damage up for ssa cynthia

ssa cynthia solo is bad and you know it

[bitter gate]

tbh should've done zinnia/morty and left flint for soft tank cheese

ye

[karmic willow]

then

[bitter gate]

or idk

[karmic willow]

where does SS red go

that's the hard part

[bitter gate]

do the standard winona/zinnia

but you have to toss an eggmon in there

so it doesn't feel like shit

lol

[karmic willow]

you'd need a crit buffer

or

def debuff

[bitter gate]

ss red has done a few uxie duos no

some solo-status duo or something

[karmic willow]

yeah

his nuke is now

strong

but

unsure

anways

if zinnia morty

who does winona party with?

[feral plank]

a self-sufficient water mon could work i guess

[river cliff]

I'm half tempted to use Zinnia in a trio with Winona + Roxanne or something, using her in a duo with anyone other than Morty seems terrible

[pearl beacon]

Id like to try TL Rosa w her if only EX
Nessa is alrd going on Uxie

[feral plank]

with winona?

[pearl beacon]

Ye

[feral plank]

that could work

[karmic willow]

Tl Rosa

It works alright

I tested it

It was rough

Rosa has endure so there is a small leeway

Not to mention the debuffs

First time i did it was about a month or so ago

Rosa needs ft2

[pearl beacon]

Yo, nice

[karmic willow]

And yes, spamming aqua jets help

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/10100/50200?s=5&l=140&r=4&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFBgcICQwPGB0gIiksLi8

Endurance +10 is not needed

Kris is also a good alternative

[pearl beacon]

I've been attempted w 0/20
Was close but Earth Power literally crack open pelipper so from bar2 on its flinch or die

[karmic willow]

A bit harder since your nuke is relatively smaller

[pearl beacon]

Yep

[karmic willow]

In this lg tho

I did rosa jasmine

I am aware jasmine can solo regitock

But

No sharp entry

No go

Rosa at +10 e can almost one shot the entire bar 2

Natural synergy as they say

[pearl beacon]

Pain
It's a Clang! run iirc

I'll try with some leftover eggo

[river cliff]

What's the play for base Lusamine this time around?

Bp Barry and Roxanne are the main two partners I'm looking at. Zinnia will probably take the other

[dawn plume]

dying

[pearl beacon]

Literally writing the same
But, dying on terrakion

[river cliff]

Just dodge, ez

[pearl beacon]

The atk debuffs are noice, mine isn't ex so is probably going to fix a solo, eva+endure are something
dies from sync

[river cliff]

Sounds like a trio kind of clear

[karmic willow]

Dammit

Only 2 tanks that have rejuv are shauna and lenora

[karmic willow]

"would you lose?"

"nah i'd win"

Anyone here with any other suggestions?

I mean Hilda does allow you to go for pretty dang long

[feral plank]

any 3/5 anni may suggestions?

[karmic willow]

Flinch egg

Or

Something with g heal

[loud shell]

She can solo Terrak if she’s caked

[karmic willow]

Fraud stoic 1

And welp

-6 acc

Still lands everything bar 3

What an ass

[feral plank]

just used it on sst red

[sturdy steeple]

real

[quaint tartan]

SSLeaf sprint ex role when

[karmic willow]

Discombobulate 4 is a lie

[karmic willow]

Give her support or field

Better tanking abilities regardless of which one

[vital ibex]

I hope the kantrio's EXRs match their NC EXR's lowkey

I'd be ok with strike ss blue so hydro cannon meme becomes more real

But would definitely prefer field so he can actually use his rain passives and a 5/5 tile locked behind something he cant even set himself

[kind imp]

Indeed, I've tried lowering latios and bulu to 3/5 but it was pain

[karmic willow]

He did not miss

A SINGLE DAMN HIT

BY THE WAY

What a fraud

Absolute garbage experience

[vital ibex]

me w the will solo fr

[feral plank]

me with sc shauna solo

[vital ibex]

lets go gambling!
no early speed buffs
aww dang it
iron defense fails so stomping tantrum is 2x power
aww dang it
no evasion buffs
aww dang it
regirock hitting through +6 evasion
aww dang it

[feral plank]

got hit by 3 iron tails..

[feral plank]

same happens to me, i hat stomping tantrum so much

[karmic willow]

Fuck this fame

Like

HOW THE HELL

Do you land

A CRIT STONE EDGE

At -6 accuracy

Stupid game

HE NEVER FUCKING MISSES

EVERY TIME

[tender horizon]

No way this works

[cedar pawn]

Is it when “Sure Hit” is up?

[karmic willow]

NO

He never has that bullshit with sure hit

Still hits ahahahaha

I am gonna go insane

It really be like

"your time playing the game is over uninstall right now"

[karmic willow]

This clearly works

I am not so surprised

Though

[tender horizon]

No it didnt work

Give tips

[karmic willow]

I may or may not have

[tender horizon]

Gloria dies to the first rock slide

[karmic willow]

Overestimated 1/5 gloria

Mb

[tender horizon]

I need defenses

I shall search for tht

[karmic willow]

I hate terrakion so mich

God dammit

[river cliff]

I lowkey dislike Terrakion more than Moltres

At least Moltres doesn't have damage reduction

[raven crane]

Already there buddy.

https://tenor.com/view/anime-zero-two-smug-cute-cap-gif-13451553

[karmic willow]

Goddammit

It was close

But not enough

[tender horizon]

Just tried Hilbert and Gloria as well, missing a bit of sustenance

[loud shell]

Was the gauge there?

[tender horizon]

Yep the gauge isnt an issue

[loud shell]

Is Hilbert dying or is it Gloria bulk with no healing?

[tender horizon]

I think i can try again, Hilbert dies in early bar 3

I can do some different gridding

[loud shell]

Try healthy healing as the lucky skill and fish for waterfall flinches

[karmic willow]

GOOD NIGHT

Valerie healed like crazy

[loud shell]

Ok that’s a cool one

[karmic willow]

Japanese peeps used eggmon

I hard disagree with that

So valerie takes the cake

Early game is rough but

Under fairy zone and one tm from volo

She heals back just as good

Volo sync when he enters bar 2, or half bar 2

[tender horizon]

O right he has Vigilance

Good tip!

[tender horizon]

Volo level?

Ye thats super cool

[karmic willow]

Sadly 5/5

[tender horizon]

Bro

[karmic willow]

Like

Unless you get lucky with unfort 4

Realistically tho

3/5 is doable

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/29700/17500?s=3&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFDhEUFRcaHR4fLjAx

Give him +4 for the funnies

@tender horizon

[raven crane]

Why are you so based?

[karmic willow]

Got lucky during the pulls

[raven crane]

Ah..

I candied him four times.

[karmic willow]

Why do you do that even?

Mmmmm

Juicy stats

But damn no way this clear has any right to be THIS good

@sturdy steeple epic team

[river cliff]

Is it graceful? No. Did it work? Yes. Barely

[karmic willow]

The word barely scares me

[river cliff]

Got pretty lucky with flinches lol

And the rain with the flinches lasts juuust long enough

[raven crane]

Because it’s Volo.

[river cliff]

Hopefully I'll get mine there someday now that Geeta's done hogging all the field candies

[raven crane]

No regrets.

Will do it for Wielder Volo too.

[karmic willow]

I remember being far harder back in the day

Guess liza with ft2 made it too good

[pearl beacon]

Skillgears difference?
All Oak need is some hp

[feral plank]

sc shauna solo is harder than i remember honestly

[heavy sinew]

not for terra?

[dawn plume]

field effect where

[raven crane]

In your mind.

[feral plank]

you gotta be kidding me , i missed three overheats in a row

why did terrakion use sacred sword at the start of bar 3 instead of earthquake?

[dawn plume]

it skips eq if interrupted

[feral plank]

i can't interrupt it

i was doing ss morty -silver

[dawn plume]

did you enter bar 3 via burn chip?

[feral plank]

no

[dawn plume]

sometimes that makes things jank

[feral plank]

overheat

[dawn plume]

hmm

idk then

[raven crane]

Terrakion felt like it.

[dawn plume]

it shouldnt be using sacred sword unti the 2nd half of the bar anyways

[feral plank]

it was the first move of the bar, i was worried a crit eq would kill silver, but he didnt use it

[dawn plume]

weird

mayb the info on the doc is wrong

[feral plank]

any rose suggestions? 3/5

[dawn plume]

steel damage field lets you get through clear advantage

but also he shreds regirock

might be good to save him for near the end and which one you need more units on

[feral plank]

yeah, ill save him, still gotta do regi right now so. i'll keep looking for something that can do dmg

[lost juniper]

How does this even work? Wouldn't Gardenia just die?

[dawn plume]

supereffective absorb with +6 sp atk can keep her alive for a bit i think

but grimsley will just obliterate bars 2 and 3

[lost juniper]

Hm yes that's true

Grimsley is slow though and Gardenia isn't fast either

[dawn plume]

its just 1 bar spam

i dont think grimsley moves until bars 2 and 3

nuke and metal burst should just make it explode

[sturdy steeple]

you flinch bar 1 with grim

gardenia's long ass animation helps for gauge

[feral plank]

any flincher to help adaman? 2/5

[river cliff]

Who'd be a good partner for 1/5 0/20 anni Lillie? I used Marley with her last gauntlet but with the se damage I feel like something cheaper would work

[lost juniper]

Brock maybe? Just get potion mprs

[river cliff]

That could work

[feral plank]

Any cheap flincher for him?

[quaint tartan]

My last event egg was a 3 passive tech caterpie

Sorry had to share the joy somewhere

[quaint tartan]

Tech slowbro/seaking?

[feral plank]

lemme check

[void aspen]

If I’m aiming for 50-60 would AnniN+Swimsuit Misty be overkill on Terrakion? Probably not right

[raven crane]

Felt.

[feral plank]

got none of them, i'll try tech alolan persian

[river cliff]

I'd probably try a tech that doesn't boost their speed since Adaman uses no gauge

[rocky oasis]

I used seadra / Alolagrims and it was pretty miserable

[tender horizon]

@loud shell

[tender horizon]

Oo

[tender horizon]

1/5 Gloria GLORIOUS

[river cliff]

I might have to steal that

[quaint tartan]

Ex Valerie makes the whole difference

Bc mine gets wrecked by stone edge bar 1

[rocky oasis]

shame shes really far down my ex priority list bc she really needs the extra stats

rn im working on getting noland and barry to 5*

[lost juniper]

I was at 1% as Terrakion was about to die then game crashes

[kind imp]

There's a 53 way tie at 25 wins

Gonna go from 650 to 600 with one clear
Funny early leaderboard

[pearl beacon]

Can't tell which regi is more boring to solos
Got flinched 6 fkn times during the Lana clear

[true tartan]

both are

lol

they like to flinch haha...

[worthy horizon]

registeel still way more infuriating in my book

[pearl beacon]

Yeah
Steel is also more inclined to para

But damn the amount of flinch moves from regirock are oooof

[lost juniper]

I think Steel is worse too

Regirock is also almost entirely physical so you can get away with no sp. def

[pearl beacon]

Was charging Hyper Beam

Lemme kill you

[heavy sinew]

-4 atk

Rip

[pearl beacon]

Got an insame amount of bad rng on bar2, like not critting at all

But won't change much, as long as you crit

[dawn plume]

where is this btw

i assume nao doc

[lost juniper]

It was nao's doc

I did it already

It's not too bad but Gardenia must survive Bar 1 and you metal burst Bar 2

[dawn plume]

where is the doc

[kind imp]

In her yt community post

[raven crane]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zOON516VwPFJcE9J3p65ItQ7MkPTiSS-2v5qXUuniaQ/edit#gid=1691760936

[worthy horizon]

bunch of people have done the team already with differing strats

i did early metal burst

[lost juniper]

I tanked with Gardenia btw

Not that she can take hits to save her life lmao

[dawn plume]

as long as she can live long enough to almost bar 2

[lost juniper]

Yeah, but you need good flinches to make it happen

[dawn plume]

gardenia only using +2 sp atk?

from grand entry

[worthy horizon]

i'd skip that and leaf storm 2 or 3 times before tm

[dawn plume]

can she take 2 or 3 hits from regirock

[lost juniper]

Barely

And you need gauge for flinches

[worthy horizon]

sec

[lost juniper]

I would give her like sentry entry

[worthy horizon]

https://youtu.be/DHxqtss4zms this probably isn't the optimal way to do it but it's how i did it

i know madman and naomi used vigilance on gardenia but i used stoic

grids

early metal burst reliably gives her time to ramp up

stoic isn't really worth the cookie cost, it's just how i approached doing it when there were no other details other than a screenshot of a jp clear

i know madman has vastly superior knowledge on how to handle this but there's no other recordings rn that i know of

[dawn plume]

i got it

vigilance on gardenia

[loud shell]

Congrats! glad you were able to get it

[dawn plume]

should probably clarify this is ss ethan lol @sturdy steeple

[cedar pawn]

Jasmine is pulling her weight on this LG for me.
I think I have a promising 31st Auto team.

[worthy horizon]

regular ethan is also an existing pair with drake

[tender horizon]

Nice

Good ol supp nidoking

[lost juniper]

Except her Ethan isn't 2/5, and honestly everyone who isn't new should have him 5/5 by now

[dawn plume]

you click the grids its ss ethan lol

he will get zone on the 25th but i aint waiting that long

[worthy horizon]

yeah last two days of gauntlet

by then you're probably either panicking or done with your streak

i'm more likely to be the latter than the former

[heavy sinew]

Naomi did NC Serena and I still can't get past first half of bar 3 😭

[lost juniper]

It's so bad

Terrakion just always seems to hit you since debuffs mean nothing I guess

[river cliff]

At this point if a character has multiple solos I'm just picking their easiest one

[heavy sinew]

See I would go for uxie but like

Nah

[dawn plume]

her uxie solo is pretty easy with exr

[heavy sinew]

yea exactly

rather just

devote my time to doing terrakion

[sturdy steeple]

oops yeah thankyu

[dawn plume]

did this 2/5 exr

only 1 tm mpr if i got another it wouldn’t have been nearly so tight

[heavy sinew]

Maybe if I do that I can release my anger towards Serena

[dawn plume]

its easier with dupes

2/5 ex is the min investment

with the cake i only needed 1 mpr but without it more is def required

[loud shell]

When did you max move

[dawn plume]

when terrakion is about 1/3 health left on bar 2

it needs to take out bar 2

then blitz bar 3

[loud shell]

Is there anything this rotation that predicates waiting for morty's expanded grid befor eusing him this gauntlet?

[rocky oasis]

regi solo

makes uxie duos easier

idk if he can solo it

[median swan]

it makes his duo with venomoth like 10 million times easier

[dawn plume]

i was debating ss gladion venomoth duo

[worthy horizon]

with ridicure 4 and haymaker i'd be surprised if morty didn't gain a bunch of new solos

[loud shell]

his bulk is still atrocious

[dawn plume]

yea its the best grid expansion in a while

i mean as long as he can make it to bar 3 half on most bosses he wins

cuz explosion does so much

[median swan]

if he can one-shot uxie bar 2 with sync then he'll get that haha

[loud shell]

You assuming just muscle through bar one?

[rocky oasis]

yes

[heavy sinew]

RAHHHH

fuck this solo in particular

[rocky oasis]

just dodge every move ezpz

[median swan]

he dodges and heals which is more than enough

[loud shell]

I guess the biggest issue would be gauge and pf mpr

[wicked tusk]

Bro got Solo-Auto'd

[dawn plume]

meloetta the undying

[heavy sinew]

TIL my 2/5 alt Leon cannot solo anything this rotation

Rip

[lost juniper]

His duos are very cheap though

[sturdy steeple]

Eggs your mon

[heavy sinew]

Where did y'all use nc red

[wicked tusk]

I have nor

I tried to with Duo egg Dragonite

No luck yet, though it's very doable

Someone give me a terkion team to try next

[lost juniper]

Terrakion, with Glaceon

[sturdy steeple]

I also did terrak in the messiest run ever

[heavy sinew]

darn

[pearl beacon]

My 1/5 nc is going on terra with either scLyra ir other single rebuff

Usual pb thing

[cedar pawn]

What's your grid and LS?

[wicked tusk]

The 3/5 set in the repository

[cedar pawn]

Not coming up for me. Can you screen shot?

[wicked tusk]

https://youtu.be/zNevtKS-iSQ

That is NOT what bro was asking for 😭

[lost juniper]

Yeah I got confused

[wicked tusk]

Sadly you'll have to be blocked and reported.

[cedar pawn]

So you did this but just on Auto?

[wicked tusk]

Yup

[lost juniper]

If she's 3/5 EX R I would use her on Terrakion or Uxie

The solos aren't hard at all

Or easy even in Uxie's case

[cedar pawn]

Okay. Well if I can boot NCRosa off the team she's on I can hit 32 Autos.

[wicked tusk]

true, plus you can still do Auto

On all three

[lost juniper]

Maybe not Terrakion since you do want confusion for healing

And debuffs

Uxie should be good though

[heavy sinew]

Damn

died to psychic in the lodge Morty solo

Sucks

[karmic willow]

Feels wrong..

But hey, props to you making it

[dawn plume]

having trouble with drake/ss ethan duo

even tho i have done before

is there a strat i forgot

[karmic willow]

One critical hit to send it to heaven

[raven crane]

Or Hell.

[worthy horizon]

i don't have ss ethan but here's the repository vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnWMHF40WVo&t=1258s

[dawn plume]

is there a 1/5 ethan clear

i have done it with 1/5 ethan

[karmic willow]

people are now

pairing up NC calem with what's his name

masked royale or

lodge silver are good candidates

because lack of crit

you are never getting that mpr on silver so might as well

real talk

anything can survive with candice on terrakion?

i'm tempted to add glacia in

[river cliff]

Grant and Glacia seem like the best candidates

Not too bad of a cheap clear

[karmic willow]

GRANT?

[river cliff]

Healing/hasty hail + flinch

[karmic willow]

you're proposing a trio

like

candice grant and glacia

[river cliff]

No

[karmic willow]

grant and glacia alone does not generate hail

[river cliff]

Grant + Candice

Either would work as a partner for Candice

[karmic willow]

god at this point imma just do

glacia candice

i need that ex buff to reliably one shot the darn thing with 2 hail charges

[formal sparrow]

Guys does anyone have the auto LG excel sheet?

[dawn plume]

ok i finally got it remembered what i was doing wrong

have to use the x sp defs at the start then go for dragon breaths

very tight clear

[cedar pawn]

Some support refinements might be made but here’s my 32 Auto Team run.

[karmic willow]

32 auto clears.... Damn

any good partner for fall roxanne?

[dawn plume]

i was gonna do 1/5 exr rika and 1/5 fall roxanne lol

on terrakion

it seemed optimal

one day i will candy rika

[cedar pawn]

Depending on your point of view, I'm either the god or mad scientist of Auto LG.
Mine's only 1/5. But most likely Uxie trapping.

[karmic willow]

Uxie trapping i know but

Problem is

Half bar 1

Her talents don't really contribute to killing it quick

In the sense that

I need something to get me through half bar 1

First half bar

Cuz

If not

Uxie gains resistance

I know her nuke is on the more insane side

[cedar pawn]

Yeah I don't know on her. I was trying 1/5 in place of Lodge Lillie but a hang up on Bar 2 said it wouldn't fly.

[karmic willow]

@sturdy steeple are all your planned clears done?

you speeding through like 80 already

also

p.dawn and bianca on terrakion is insane

as in insanely good

[sturdy steeple]

nope not done

[sturdy steeple]

it was super duper easy

[young forge]

Can 3/5 SS Lusamine EXR duo Terrakion? And if so, with who?

[kind imp]

wtz eggmon iirc

i think i saw ninetales and jolteon

[young forge]

Is Espeon overkill?

[kind imp]

idk

[young forge]

It’s a tight clear, you need to grid for max bulk on Drake

[sturdy steeple]

espeon is good if you dont want a hassle

[young forge]

What egg mon is this

[karmic willow]

persian

tech

for charm

but

if you have 1/5 p.dawn

i HIGHLY recommend you do that duo

it's too easy

[young forge]

I don’t have P Dawn

[heavy sinew]

Me when another LG passes with eurisko making auto teams but not making videos of them

[karmic willow]

honestly

the whole process makes it

just

tiring

like you mean i have to come up with a team

[heavy sinew]

I know I'm just jesting

[pearl beacon]

this guy is making me really upset
Gets expansion, there's no room for literal nothing unless +10 overcap

Trying to fit his only sandstorm into terra

But ehhhhh

Guess I have to use tech Kabutops

[karmic willow]

and then

make a video about it

[karmic willow]

i'm not in a way tho like

[pearl beacon]

Not me with 50+ recorded clears stacked in my phone

One day they'll find peace

In the repository

[dawn plume]

[river cliff]

What grid did you run on Bianca?

[pearl beacon]

It's a mix of shitty gauge forcing you to burn most of your grid energy and mediocre stats
Under sand he does good but damn, once out he falls a lot
4 bar move just feel worthless at some point
But is just on LG, on cs with nc silver he's great

Or even for UBs on BR

[eternal hill]

Can Terrakion be freeze locked?

[worthy horizon]

yeah

[kind imp]

yes

[eternal hill]

Excellent!

[karmic willow]

could do -8 if you want the mgr

get lucky crits

[river cliff]

Hm, I'll have to see what I can do. I currently have 40k orbs to play with

[bitter gate]

@thick dawn I see you and I had the same idea

Erika Hala on Regi

I was actually trying it with Marlon lmao

Almost got it but it's very tight

[thick dawn]

it's impressive what the human mind can come up with when it is faced with 50+ more regirock clears

[bitter gate]

Double Lisia tho

I actually did skyla with gio vs Uxie

And used ny Lisia for jasmine instead

Because she can skip interference

Tho i dare you to replicate this:

[karmic willow]

lilliebee or

38

[thick dawn]

i'll take truth instead of dare

the truth is i won't lol

[bitter gate]

Idt anyone else will do the phoebs eggmoth duo kek

[karmic willow]

yeah

phoebe molayne is

too good to give up on

not to mention venomoth + morty is a thing

[thick dawn]

phoebe molayne is boring as hell

but i won't be the one to find a better clear lol

[karmic willow]

at least it works tbh

[worthy horizon]

yeah i wanted to find something else since phoebe's grid expansion but came up blank

[karmic willow]

it's literally just

M O R E

nothing interesting about her

no tighten up

no nothing

[worthy horizon]

i think limitations are interesting

[worthy horizon]

69 with 96

[karmic willow]

63 101

[stuck mantle]

Ny lilie is good solo unit

You got speed drop?🤣

[karmic willow]

Man i just love how naomi dies from full health because i cannot stop a crit earthquake flinch at bar 3

The guaranteed one

Even with decent gear

She is not living

[worthy horizon]

yeah it was pretty bad with registeel already

[karmic willow]

Nah at least registeel you can live

One or two hits

This is either vigilance or go fuck yourself

Even ss leaf

Vigilance > stoic 2

I am sick enough of those random ass stone edges

And those earth powers dropping my sp.def after a crit that nobody asked for

One day i will get vigilance on all of the units

That's almost 500 of them

But who cares

At least i can enjoy myself a bit more

[feral plank]

any suggestion for a bianca duo in terra?5EX and for anni may?3EX no R

[kind imp]

I copied P.dawn with bianca from nao

[bitter gate]

ny dawn solo against terrakion was hell, jesus

[stuck mantle]

Ny dawn better on uxie use

[bitter gate]

also, does the kali/lillie duo run fast track on something

because the gauge is utterly atrocious lmao

you need really lucky leech luck I guess

[tender horizon]

Omg naomi did wallace torchic vs uxie

[kind imp]

Yes

And mind games on the other

Idt the order matters much

[worthy horizon]

i'm def saving lodge lillie for uxie by this point

[rocky oasis]

does anyone know how the machamp / riley duo works

machamp dies quickly

[kind imp]

@karmic willow

[karmic willow]

Ohh

It's showtine

[rocky oasis]

ssgladion duo for uxie

[karmic willow]

He's supposed to die

[rocky oasis]

nah riley is dying too and thats my problem

[karmic willow]

Machamp first riley second

Bar 1 just buff crit and attack with iron tail

Before regirock syns

Use tm for extra def on riley

If you skill gears are good

Machamp lives through first sync

And then dies

To rock tomb of stomp

[rocky oasis]

grid on riley?

[karmic willow]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/15600/44800?s=5&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFCAsOIyYpKissLQ

-2 for your own sanity

[worthy horizon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tMWtZ6Fkz8

[rocky oasis]

oar is useless here

[worthy horizon]

machamp tank is probably better

but those karate chops actually do accomplish a lot

[median swan]

supp machamp having an optimal lg duo is the character development i need

[bitter gate]

Anyone figured out something for Wikstrom yet

not sure if what I'm doing is too loose

[rocky oasis]

i remember seeing wikstrom + speed eggmon at some point on whale clears

i think i accidentally gave myself good fighting gear while rolling gears for anni may

[worthy horizon]

i used hilbert + wikstrom

[tender horizon]

Nah , everyone has excess Uxie teams

[tender horizon]

What part of this is good

Jus good stats

But i assume everyone has good stat Skill gears per type at this point

[rocky oasis]

yeah i needed the stats for smth

bianca solo

[tender horizon]

Wtf TL Lillie Kali duo terrakion

That i might try

[tender horizon]

Last night i wasted so much time trying this

Because i was very close to clearing

YES

1/5 Elaine

These two complement each other well

Elaine with the Mind Games

[worthy horizon]

@bitter gate i have confirmed this works

[bitter gate]

i intended to use something cheaper

im just struggling with the lucian duo

because tech slowbro is a horrible unit

if I could use tate I would but afaik he's being used elsewhere

[rocky oasis]

i cant quite manage to make the riley duo work

mine is stuck at 140

[cedar pawn]

It’s a pain in the ass because of limits on here. I don’t post vids on YouTube.

[bitter gate]

@worthy horizon my initial intention was uhh

Burgh actually

I think Burgh isn't as useful this LG

[worthy horizon]

aye i just remember you asking me if that was a working duo

[bitter gate]

i was asking what the cheapest possible option was

just that I think Nanu can be duoed with something else because flinch is a balanced mechanic

[worthy horizon]

any damage dealer can potentially manage i feel like

[bitter gate]

with Phoebe?

I think it depends

debuffs are important because phoebe is not at risk but her partner is

unless you're telling me Nanu reliably took +6 hits

[worthy horizon]

i think i only spent 3 potions on nanu

could be worse

[bitter gate]

did he not get oneshot?

huh.

[worthy horizon]

yeah not at all

[bitter gate]

I do think flinch is important though

unless you weren't running staggering

[worthy horizon]

i did

[bitter gate]

ye that obviously ups the leeway

[worthy horizon]

yea

[bitter gate]

Idt you can throw anything in there and it'll just work randomly

1/5 SS Leon is another option but

i think there are better solutions

I'll just do the burgh duo tbh

Burgh obviously does nothing against Regirock

he can cheese Uxie with debuffs

but that's it

[worthy horizon]

yeah that should be somewhat decent

i definitely would not have a better plan for nanu but i'm not super used to planning flinch/sleep duos

[bitter gate]

have you top 100ed before btw

your strength is on quite the low side but

[worthy horizon]

nope and i don't expect to stay there

[bitter gate]

you seem to be very good at management

despite that

[worthy horizon]

yea i def know and thrive off doing general optimization stuff

i'm still relatively new here and everything though ofc

i'll undersell myself a bit but i think basically everyone here does lol

[bitter gate]

wouldn't say everyone, but it's good to always learn

everyone's always learning
