Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)

[bitter gate]

in any case, yeah, as expected

pretty simple

but anything without unforf or decent durability/stun would fail

why is everyone throwing Bede at Uxie

almost makes me want to follow suit

[stuck mantle]

You have nice duos hope you get top100

Im not push so 1 less🤣

[karmic willow]

WHAT THE HELL

i mean yeah nanu's nuke got neutered significantly because loss of flinch but

DAYUM

I am SOOOOO SAVING my speedmons for this

found it from Japanese peeps

@bright brook i see you seem to like my volo duo quite a lot

[pearl beacon]

Not by chance it's 1/5 Marnie right?

[karmic willow]

yeahhhh...

3/5

or

2/5

from i what i can guess

you need iron head aggra

so

i would suggest throwing in a steel dmg character

like

RAIHAN

actually don't do it your speed will be absolute trash

[bright brook]

What gives?

[karmic willow]

idk

i saw volo valerie

more people should use it

[bright brook]

Im not gonna say i like it but im a big volo fan

[karmic willow]

i mean

valerie kinda helps with volo's lack of insane healing

[bright brook]

Even prioritized pulling him over jacq

[karmic willow]

respect

[bright brook]

Got both anyway cuz daily luck lol

[karmic willow]

you and pyuko

got so lucky 😦

i have to play with old units

and somehow keep getting dupes of them

[stuck mantle]

My grid way better then snow

Even para itc

[bright brook]

Gotta say ive been enjoying the luck recently but i havent gotten bianca yet so lol

[karmic willow]

same

[stuck mantle]

Hmm

I have bianca🤣

[bitter gate]

i forgot I did this during the last Uxie LG

good to know it still works

[karmic willow]

finding who asked

[stuck mantle]

You need pull 2 m after banner best drop😘

[karmic willow]

@bright brook any good teammates for Brendan?

[tough wing]

I'm trying to follow this vivillion solo from solo sheet. Any ideas how para is reapplied in 1st bar?

[bright brook]

a good def buffer

assuming regirock

[karmic willow]

it IS regirock

but

damn

brendan ditching dauntless for Vigilance is

NOT what i'm expecting

[karmic willow]

tm also good to reapply after he gets debuffed by regirock sync

[bright brook]

brendan commonly runs both

actually any unit that doesnt have vigil should have vigil as a LS option

[karmic willow]

yeah.... i mean, i totally get that... IF I HAD COOKIES

like

it's gonna take forever to get there

even with constant playing

some clears really trashed my LS repository

back then things like bulu

horrible bulu

now i'm trying to recoup

add vigilance on every pair

it's a long mission

and the game is not doing me any favors with 10 headstrongs in a row

[bright brook]

if you desperately need creamy cookies you could farm villa

[karmic willow]

too long.... i don't have time

[bright brook]

also i sometimes use deluxe cookies for vigil, just bc i have too many of those

[karmic willow]

that's the biggest issue

time

[karmic willow]

dude i use it for vigilance as well

it was the main thing that got me tornadus clears last time

[karmic willow]

oh yeah this time

candice + glacia

or glacia solo regirock?

i mean

candice needs crit or something to fully nuke bar 2

[rocky oasis]

why is this damn thing so slow

worst sylveon in the game

[karmic willow]

she can drain

lol

[pearl beacon]

If I can't find a steel duo for magneton i'm gonna steal this

[tough wing]

Thanks for the reply. Just did a couple more tests. I'm not sure why mine isn't working. When it applies it says already paralyzed?

[karmic willow]

where to place mallow then

[bitter gate]

I was gonna do some acerola duo with her against regirock or something

[bright brook]

i think you gotta nuke through half bar for para to reapply

[bitter gate]

• my Mallow isn't EXed so

[karmic willow]

isn't it kinda bad?

like

mallow's debuffs don't get any time to shine

so she's more of a terrakion or uxie pair

which is such an ass this season specifically

[tough wing]

That's the thing I am. Going to like 10-15% left. So weird

[bitter gate]

i mean

if checking out teams on the ladder has taught me anything

it's that people don't give a shit about coverage this LG

they just slap w/e

a lot of traditionalized comps

very few innovated ones so far

[pearl beacon]

[bright brook]

in that case can you record and post it here?

[pearl beacon]

They've been optimizing time

I usually spend the first week testing teams and proceeding slow
But depend on time
That's why my lg scores were like 69 69 30 200 150 and this one will probably close below 100 bcs got a small surgery in 2 days and not much time

Plus it's summer

[karmic willow]

@median swan nice duo on terrakion

the diantha one

[bright brook]

wait a second

when was the solo done

[shy gale]

That got updated I think

[tough wing]

Sorry for the video. Had to chop it down to fit discord from 2 mins

[bright brook]

i think they did twerk the way some of the passives involving para work

chase's para interaction with torn was also affected after the lastest update

[tough wing]

Now that makes a bit more sense for me. Been trying on/off most of the day

[lost juniper]

Wasn't it changed before Chase got introduced?

Cause I remember self cleanse activating after his paralysis

[bright brook]

i have no ideas, although from what i remember i attempted a lot of chase solos when he was first released and self cleanse never procc after torn got para from chase's passive.

[pearl beacon]

Static cling too

[bright brook]

but yea, from the footage above, im pretty confident they had it changed in a way

[pearl beacon]

They changer triggering order

[lost juniper]

I'm pretty sure in LG14 self cleanse was after Chase's passive

[pearl beacon]

Yup

[tough wing]

Yup. Just had a look again original vid was 10 jan. chase was end of jan

[lost juniper]

I do also remember it from seeing naomi's and stdk's video when he was just released

[rocky oasis]

1/5 grusha is super awkward to use

[tender horizon]

Wow

[tender horizon]

Oo

[tender horizon]

Ft2 Viola first time i hear

[tender horizon]

Felt like overkill

But Im done with it

[feral plank]

Any suggestions on who to pair with shauntal?

[bitter gate]

noice

[bright brook]

SC lillie/H Jasmine

[feral plank]

oh thx, but i've done it already , used 1/5 EXR rika

[bright brook]

that's also a good option if youre not using her against terrak

[feral plank]

honestly i don't think i would've used her against terra unless it was a trio, without def

any wikstrom team?

[robust nymph]

Where do you guys put ss gladion? I saw a duo with venomoth for Uxie but i'm wondering if he can clear terrakion with a zone bot

[heavy sinew]

whats the best use for lodge serena

im thinking uxie

[pearl beacon]

Terra for flinches and debuffs and phys shield

not that we got terrakion in LG before so maybe unfamiliar, but what cause swift to be totally skipped?

[heavy sinew]

did terra sync before you changed bars?

cause i had the same thing when eq skipped on bar 3 and went straight to earth power

[feral plank]

did poision kill terra? maybe that's a possible reason

it happend to me when doing ss morty and silver duo, instead od eq bar 3 it did sacred sword, but he died normally so i never understood why it happened

[pearl beacon]

Yes, he synced

[pearl beacon]

Nop

[lost juniper]

NC Silver solo on Regi is so annoying

It should be simple but flinch be damned

[pearl beacon]

Weird
Maybe Stdk know something

[heavy sinew]

ok so that's definitely the problem then

same exact thing happened to me while doing NC Serena

[karmic willow]

HUH?

[heavy sinew]

did he uh

die?

[karmic willow]

You see the sync move right?

[heavy sinew]

yes

[karmic willow]

It is a clear

A pretty dumb one at that

But damn

[heavy sinew]

thought you got rafa'd

kek

[karmic willow]

Not mine but

From japanese peeps

I play in english

But

Thoughts?

I am against it cuz i still think he better at regirock thanks to nuke

[feral plank]

it doesnt seem that bad if brawly thanks, skill gear should really help, and tm and potion mprs

[heavy sinew]

waste of def debuffs if sent to regi but i see the vision

[tender horizon]

Thinking if Brawly is better against Regirock as nuker

Ye

Ok yalls first time im doijg this, does Selene need EX

[sturdy steeple]

nope

but probably fish for an MPR

[heavy sinew]

missed the queue for one more flash cannon on summer tate uxie

insane run only for it to end like that

[sturdy steeple]

[lost juniper]

Maybe 20/20 for stats? But you can just get more mprs

[raven crane]

EX and 20/20 aren’t different in this case, no?

[pearl beacon]

No ,but 20/20

[bitter gate]

wat

Wat the heck is that

[lost juniper]

NY Dawn can solo without EX even

[heavy sinew]

paralyzed at the end

wow

[bitter gate]

I'm referring to the molayne + perrserker duo

Dawn terrakion is nothing new

[heavy sinew]

how do you gauge

[lost juniper]

Oh I see. Yeah idk how they got it

[bitter gate]

My ratio is so bad tho jesus

[lost juniper]

Yeah, not sure if it's easier than Uxie though

[pearl beacon]

Btw that Terra behavior happens always and prohibid my clear tactic
Looks it happens if you kill him before qq a move after sync
Can't prevent it

[bitter gate]

Everybody has a better ratio

[pearl beacon]

Supp perrserker?

[heavy sinew]

it looks like it

[pearl beacon]

Molayne is quite fast btw, his chain should be nice

As long as you flinch

[heavy sinew]

one frame off from getting the gauge for flash cannon

are you kidding me game

FINALLY

embarrasingly long time

[feral plank]

got selene mcchu duo, almost die because i had no potion mprs

[pearl beacon]

Happened without Terra sync
Idk what else I can do, this duo works but it's cursed by that thing happening

It has not to do with sync ir turn denial, this time Terra qq a move

[heavy sinew]

woah

thats interesting

never mind then

[feral plank]

any suggestion for 1 EXR chase? a special kanto mon maybe?

[heavy sinew]

quite the scandal

[robust nymph]

terrakion hits so hard and for what

for the bianca pal dawn duo on terra, what's a good replacement for pal dawn if i don't have her I tried lodge cheren for the flinches but it's way too tight

[heavy sinew]

2 flinches from rock

[tender horizon]

Lol i did 40 clears alrdy

Wasnt aware of my progress

[heavy sinew]

WHY

ONE SYNC OFF

PLEASe

[sturdy steeple]

i mean its just the same as phoebe

except with one less crit buff

[river cliff]

Is there any better place to use it? Theme skill cohesion is always great

[heavy sinew]

one flinch is all it takes to just ruin the run

and will doesnt help either

no evasion buffs

[pearl beacon]

Queued swift this time
No clue abt what triggers that, lost too much time

[heavy sinew]

done

[feral plank]

nice

[fast pine]

how do you see the list of units you used for the LG so far?

[river cliff]

Click on win streak ranking and then click confirm by where your name is

Interesting, I guess Cobalion + Hitmonchan is doable after all

[tender horizon]

@sturdy steeple how does Supp machamap riley work

[bright brook]

Ive uploaded supp machamp riley iirc

[tender horizon]

Oo leme search

Waiti whats ur channelnname

[bright brook]

https://youtu.be/C9idFgKdVrM?si=P8WyefafIc76Fexw&t=2540

run sharp entry on machamp, should make it easier

[sturdy steeple]

thank you

i had sentry entry on machampy

[tender horizon]

Omg found it

[tender horizon]

I was like wtf

[bright brook]

Just for quicker def debuff

[bitter gate]

Hmmm

[kind imp]

Not just para, but cleansing in general #916852044692856834 message

[bitter gate]

I assume 5* quaxly is mandatory for the uhh

Misty clear on terrakion

[bright brook]

Yea or skill gears

I stole that from trope so ask him

[bitter gate]

@lost juniper I noticed you were running uhh

Cynthia

Should still credit you for the idea I suppose

[lost juniper]

Yeah honestly I just slapped them both since I was annoyed when failing to do Grant + Cynthia

[bitter gate]

Nita is a clean duo tbh

I messed up and still got it with only 1 mpr on sand needed

[pearl beacon]

#1012311116778586182 message
The 5* qualxy survived quite well, I think can be done with good skill gears if 4*
Worth a try

Use rain just a bit earlier, in that run I was careless and it almost died

[tender horizon]

Got it

My Riley was too strong so i had to make sure regirock set up iron defense before bar 3 Lol

Otherwise if i go too fast in bar 3 then it will trigger hammer arm twice

[raven crane]

That’s my issue with the Adaman solo.

He’s too strong.

[karmic willow]

What does ex even do

20/20

No ex don't waste champ spirits

[karmic willow]

You are actually supposed to one shot bar 2 with max move

And iron tail

Skip bar 2 altogether

[dawn plume]

do ppl actually run low on champ spirits

i have never had this happen to me

[karmic willow]

Yes

well

Not for all but

Sometimes

The more clears you do

The more ex you can afford

One gauntlet season usually nets me 4-5 ex

Sometimes more

[sturdy steeple]

running extremely low on champ spirits every LG month when i EX ppl

[pearl beacon]

At 250+ EXs you may run short (based on my stocks)

[dawn plume]

ig i just don't be exing people

250 wtf

[karmic willow]

Still

[karmic willow]

Yup

If you are bicio

Maybe 265

If you exchange a lot

[sturdy steeple]

i currently have 244

[karmic willow]

How many would it be if you ex all supports and techs?

Cuz

That do be the optimal endgame for lg

Unless tech exr for strikes

[sturdy steeple]

theres 102 exable supports rn, 103 with kabu

idk about tech i only have support maxed rn

[dawn plume]

🤯

i do have a lot of ex material rn just dunno what to use on

[pearl beacon]

You have been hitting 200 for quite long, that's 1k+

[sturdy steeple]

supports are always a good choice to ex

as an LG player

[bright brook]

ex strike for CS

[sturdy steeple]

🤢

[dawn plume]

i only have 4 exable supports lol

i do ex most of them

oh wait 5

i forgot about my 1/5 variety agatha lol

[pearl beacon]

I'm waiting for the fifth anni to drop EX on 5*bp units

[sturdy steeple]

pleaseeee

[dawn plume]

rachel and sawyer

pls

[bright brook]

In all seriousness, it depends on the line-up to figure out who to EX, techs usually need EX in stages where we need to nuke to bar skip like uxie or cobalion, strike helps against those who have sides like latios or raikou, field is good against terrak while support is good against all of them

[lost juniper]

This right there

Besides sometimes you need to EX someone to make a terrible duo easy

[karmic willow]

Naomi ex when

[sturdy steeple]

fr

[karmic willow]

I need her to actually nuke shit faster fr fr

Fuck it

Exr

Support

So i don't die to a stupid crit eq

[tender horizon]

Im not a whale i dont hv issues with champion spirits

[karmic willow]

Then

Do it

Get the pretty ex colors

Fr i wanna ex korrina and pryce because of that

Actually did pryce because latios matchup

You better believe it baby

[tender horizon]

I alrdy exed riley what

[karmic willow]

Riley is niceeee

[tender horizon]

Oh u meant Selene

No haha 5* pu limited

[karmic willow]

☠️

I only get ex when there is mf month

[bright brook]

I EXRed riley bc i didnt have rei so may as well use rei from wish

[karmic willow]

More pulls more dupes because i am bad woth luck

[bright brook]

But then got rei shortly after and he still doesn't have an EXR

[dawn plume]

rei at home

[bright brook]

I regret it everytime palmer appears in rally and my option includes strike but not sprint

[feral plank]

giovanni's max move in regi should be used in bar 2 or 3?

[bright brook]

2

Skip crit shield

[feral plank]

i just flinched it, 2 iron tails and it was gone

then max move and iron tail

[dawn plume]

would rather use the seun with a max move than iron tail

[feral plank]

it doesn't matter, regirock can't handle gio at -6 def

[bright berry]

where are y’all using nc cheren this lg? two rock types and uxie feel like the worst options equally between each other

[chrome halo]

Uxie

His rebuff is useful to counter bar2

[lost juniper]

Who I can add to Horse Victor? I don't want to do the solo

[chrome halo]

Para egg

[kind imp]

meatshield, sp.def egg should work too

[tender horizon]

Thx skippingmud for teamm

[heavy sinew]

oh wow

do you just not TM

to not proc confusion?

if so thats pretty smart

[karmic willow]

I

Cannot do that sadly

[dawn plume]

i did something similar lg12

you basically cant confuse until just before his first sync

its a little tricky

is there a video clear for ash/jolteon terrakion duo?

ik it was on the recommended teams at one point but its gone now

[heavy sinew]

but who's the egg?

[heavy sinew]

dies to uh?

earth power?

eq?

[karmic willow]

Parasect

[dawn plume]

nah ash lives cuz hes goated like that

[karmic willow]

Endure

Ash can block 2 hits

In case you wonder

B move one shots bar 2

[dawn plume]

bar 2 ok

[karmic willow]

And tm when enter 3rd bar

[dawn plume]

thats what i was gonna ask lol

[heavy sinew]

got damn

[dawn plume]

jolteon dies quickly but it just needs to set up its 2 terrains

[feral plank]

Always works

[sharp lichen]

cant you duo oak with liza?

[karmic willow]

Yeah

Did that clear today

Pretty ez

[feral plank]

yea but dawn is 1/5 so i prefer to save liza

[karmic willow]

Save dawn for soneone like surge

Surgeeeeeeeeee

[dawn plume]

nah 1/5 ss dawn kinda cheeks

thats a fine clear

[feral plank]

that's what i say

[dawn plume]

i have lost the ability to quadqueue

im washed

[heavy granite]

What’s Nita move level and how hard is this?

[dawn plume]

ok i swear terrakion's moves are either documented incorrectly or its just random sometimes

just had it open bar 3 with a rock slide

sometimes it opens bar 2 with an earth power

feels like its just random

[feral plank]

it opened me bar 3 with sacred sword once

who could i use with support fuecoco that is not anni n

[dawn plume]

ughhhh

i cant get this to work for the life of me

when i think i do it right terrakion uses a move i wasnt expecting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKuWSIw-1wY ok i found the video

[kind imp]

you can try recording it and sending to stdk

[true tartan]

later LAs tend to be weird as the scenarios may be different

but the whole situation is needed to check what's going on

[lost juniper]

You need to basically follow this exactly

Critical Strike 2 on Ash is mandatory

[dawn plume]

nao was using a different grid so i got confused

iam running cs2

[heavy sinew]

damn i just did the uxie solo

rip

[dawn plume]

ok finally got it

pinch push + static shock was key

[rancid kiln]

My honest strategy (Im kind of new)

BAD POISON + TRAP GO BRRRR

[lost juniper]

Yeah idk how nao did it but I followed Rafa on this

[heavy sinew]

giga drain crit

victor why are you like this

[void aspen]

That is a sweet EX

[pearl beacon]

Focus on getting all the prizes if you can, 133 units is not a bad amount to start with LG

[tender horizon]

Lmao

I was doing Rei vs Regirock

Then i was like... why is it not applying iron defense? And its doing Earth power now??

I was in Terrakion

[pearl beacon]

On nvm

[pearl beacon]

Ye this LG is by far too weird

I don't wanna play HS where it's a roll of dices if you die or not

[void aspen]

I’m not pushing but I’m enjoying this LG a lot

[pearl beacon]

Ye, I tried to figure out what was triggering Earth Power on bar2
It wasn't sync move or bar skip with move denial idk

[feral plank]

who could I use with 1/5 sc irida? EXR, i was saving to candy her, but ill wait to see if i get bianca

[void aspen]

Has anyone used 1/5 HSiebold on Uxie yet? Who did you use them with?

[dawn plume]

i noticed it used earth power on bar 2 when it queued its sync on bar 1 but it got denied by quadqueue

if that causes it uhh idk

[pearl beacon]

I think Shibi did a duo with supp gengar on uxie, witht just EX iirc

[pearl beacon]

Nope, I got earth power in multiple ways
Pre sync, post sync, queued move or just classic lg "waiting the kill" idle

[heavy sinew]

CRIT PSYCHIC

WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME

every time i think i figured out the victor solo uxie decides to laugh at me

[karmic willow]

anything with trap

[kind imp]

For me the main thing was max moving bar 1 before power up punch

Or else I have to haze it and take too much damage

And I think that needs like mud shot missing/a second tm mpr(?) and failing haze for faster animation

[true tartan]

[scenic bolt]

its functioning differently than expected?

[pearl beacon]

There are scenarios where they don't respect the "usual" move pattern
But as Stdk said it has to do with newer stages

[sharp lichen]

where should i use OG Clemont? uxie or regirock

im thinking uxie

[tender horizon]

I like how Lodge May nukes half a bar off Terrakion so i dont hv to worry about rain running out

[pearl beacon]

Ye

[wicked tusk]

currently on run 302

making good progress

[pearl beacon]

If EX maybe something with Shauna for crit and trap?
If not, prepare to be disappointed
You can use him as third to get burn and acc debuffs

[hollow meadow]

Starting.

[tender horizon]

Slow

Im on 592

[heavy sinew]

Oh

my

god

rafa'd

at the last sync

i am going to lose it

[brazen acorn]

Who + ssmina can duo terrakion?

Also i thought there was a doc. About solos and duos?

[heavy sinew]

pins

just solos

duos are in repository

[sturdy steeple]

I must share my sorrows in this chat too, this took me nearly 5 hours (undeservingly)

Regirock is so unfun

[lost juniper]

I'm thinking double mina duo might work?

[sharp lichen]

Finally

I sync nuked bar 2 lol

[sturdy steeple]

Double Mina is indeed simple and effective

[lost juniper]

Is it overkill though? SS Mina solo looks terrible

[stuck mantle]

Ss mina can solo terrakion?

[lost juniper]

She can for a while now

[heavy sinew]

im close to throwing the towel

[lost juniper]

Also how is your streak going?

You got to 100?

[stuck mantle]

55

45 left😂

[lost juniper]

I'm also at 55 rn

[stuck mantle]

Saw you behind me🤣

[lost juniper]

Lmao

[stuck mantle]

Dont now how it work since you did 55 befor me

[raven crane]

Felt.

[karmic willow]

WHAT

TWO?

dayummm

[heavy sinew]

come the fuck on

[karmic willow]

same thing i did

[heavy sinew]

im going crazy

flinch

zenbutt

[tender horizon]

Finally

[tender horizon]

Oh god

[tender horizon]

Me frozen 10 times

[heavy sinew]

ofc zenbutt flinches again

why not

[shy gale]

You guys at 55 already? I'm at 20

[feral plank]

any nemona run?

[heavy sinew]

smiling through the pain

[karmic willow]

solo regirock

[hollow meadow]

Got her from mix. If I invest in her can she solo anything?

[feral plank]

with 3 ex is not possible D:

[karmic willow]

latios

lmfao

[karmic willow]

then cope your way through uxie

[inner turret]

She's still good to have

[karmic willow]

she and raihan can duo azelf

[hollow meadow]

Somehow I'm just now realizing we can't EX Rachel...L

[karmic willow]

YUP

and you better believehow much it sucks

even TINA got one

they are holding them for some reason

[feral plank]

how does this work, is like nemona solo, but without eva and +2 def?

[karmic willow]

+6

i think

idk

i forgot wwhat support golem does

[feral plank]

support golem is +2

+6 for himself

[karmic willow]

@thick dawn

why hapu and ingo?

genius clear

[feral plank]

i'll try nemona and supp aero ig it will work

[thick dawn]

i didn't make it lol

that was invert

[karmic willow]

damnnnn

either way that's so gooe

good

was planning to use grant and ss brock

[feral plank]

ok i didn't expect aero to activate shifty striker 2 that much, it is at +6 eva

[karmic willow]

i found my solution ig

[karmic willow]

enjoy it while you can

[feral plank]

i made it, nemona demolishes regirock, the +4 def helps

i didnt even use the last b move

[sharp lichen]

SS Steven for Terrakion?

[karmic willow]

I am doing this

[lost juniper]

If 3/5 yeah

Solo isn't that bad if in normal forme

[sharp lichen]

Yeah

[heavy sinew]

i had to

change

skill gear

to a more defensive set

to win

[karmic willow]

HE FLINCHED ME ON MY LAST HIT

WHAT THE HELL

[void aspen]

Against Terrakion is sleep locking the same as say flinch locking? Like is the timing the same?

[lost juniper]

Pretty much yeah

[pliant glen]

Regirock's timing is different because of Shrug Off

[lost juniper]

Same principles for both

[lost juniper]

Yeah but you can abuse crit defense drops though

None of this is relevant after Bar 1 though

[pliant glen]

Terrakion has damage reduction without WTZ but idk how that will affects chains

I haven't started yet

[lost juniper]

I don't think clear advantage affect chains

It's like how it was with Registeel last time with its passives, or Azelf

[void aspen]

Ok so against regirock if I had a flincher I’d queue the other unit’s move>flinch>flincher’s move>other unit’s move>flinch and assuming perfect flinching you’d queue the flinch move again right before Regirock queues, or is that only how it works for Aaron and the timing is different for other units

I’m still learning the deeper mechanics of the game sorry if I’m clueless lol

[lost juniper]

If you get a passive to proc right before Regi cures its flinch, you have a small window to use the move again

It's not unique to Aaron or Regirock

[void aspen]

Ok

I timestamped for you

[heavy sinew]

obligatory shoutouts to azzy

[void aspen]

Appreciate it

[lost juniper]

I had Terrakion using sacred sword turn 1 on Bar 3 too

I was doing Archie + TL Adaman duo and Archie was at 1% so I thought it was done for but then it decided to sacred sword me for whatever reason. Can't complain since I would've lost otherwise

[hollow meadow]

:(

[feral plank]

happened to me in the ss morty and silver duo, had silver at 40% more or les and i knew earthquake would kill but it did sacred sword

[karmic willow]

SAY GOODNIGHT

i would highly recommend you guys to NOT try this

[vital ibex]

forty bad who

+2 energy just so i could grab 2nd sync tile

probably didnt matter but w/e

[tiny hedge]

Chat, how is top 10K still under 10 wins.

9 wins is top 7K

[karmic willow]

69th clear time

[worthy horizon]

seemed like a lot of people gave up on trying at all

worked well, one try

support hitmonchan

[void aspen]

I feel like Terrakion is asleep for an inconsistent amount of time

[pearl beacon]

What's your sleepchain team?

[void aspen]

I just want one passive activating on each chain right?

I’m gonna watch the video again lol ignore me I’ll figure it out

[worthy horizon]

at least one yeah

[karmic willow]

@median swan

NAILED IT

[kind imp]

is he waking up early or is he still asleep as you try to sleep him?

[void aspen]

Waking up early

I think I have too many passives

[shy sinew]

I haven’t even started yet. That’s my plan tonight

[heavy sinew]

waiiit

this looks goated

0/5 NC hop tho

Rip

[pearl beacon]

Yep, you need a chain enabler
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iqD0zVUF0iTGjnas8QR9zoX2t5ownaAfaJwbrIZ2Gr0/edit?usp=drivesdk

But that's not all, timing is also important, if both the sleeper and the enabler have fast moves the chain may be too fast
Some stages during transitions need to queue sleep twice and some others just cleanse at half bars
Also field effects expiring can cause the chain to break

[void aspen]

And I just sorta have to tank until whichever unit that’s enabling it gets set up?

Because the timing is messed up

[pearl beacon]

Depend on the team, I usually put the sleeper
Unless the enabler can take hits or recover

[kind imp]

could you record you chaining a bit and sent it here?

i think it'd be easier to understand what's going on

[void aspen]

I’m at work I’ll play around with it more over the next few days I’ll do more consistent stuff for now lol

Consistent for me*

And send footage when I do come back to trying sleep chains

[karmic willow]

Wake me up when a new regirock clear is founf

[sharp lichen]

Do people still do this duo?

[sharp lichen]

Have you used Kimono Grimsley?

[karmic willow]

one of my firsts

[karmic willow]

yes

[sharp lichen]

Molayne?

[karmic willow]

look i'm not gonna spend too much time here so

just check here and

you'll see how many clears i pulled

even stuff like GUZMA solo

[kind imp]

I think I really need to get a mpr in the middle of bar 2 even with skill gears
Sigh
(Also the solo only uses a 3/5 grid)

[young forge]

I thought this would work, but Lucian can’t OHKO Bar 3…

[worthy horizon]

don't think anything can without pblows or wtz?

[lost juniper]

Just a matter of more flinch luck, but I'd honestly use him on Uxie probably

Also screw the Glacia solo

[young forge]

Oh? Hmm I have done the Uxie duo before

[pearl beacon]

80% dr is something

[young forge]

Does the C Red Glaceon duo against Terrakion need 3/5? Mine is 2/5 and can’t do it

[hollow meadow]

Tfw no crit on sync 😔

Any good non-Helena partners for Viola?

[lost juniper]

Maybe I'll cave in and EX him

[pearl beacon]

Worth for sure, he's so good at base

[lost juniper]

Yeah. I'm so glad I actually got him

[pearl beacon]

Either fMorty or some status-er with a powerful nuke
You need to ramp fast on bar1

[tender horizon]

"Worked well"
"2% hp left"

[tender horizon]

Difficult, do 60% flincher instead

[young forge]

Do you think Lucian is better for Uxie or Terrakion?

[tender horizon]

Terrakion

Uxie is very easy

Got lots of Flabbergast shit

[void aspen]

Which of the three is best for my 3/5 EXR SS Silver? I know he’s better for LG at 4/5 I just don’t want to spare the candy atm

Seems Terrakion is a definite no but his gimmicks aren’t explicitly great for Uxie either so I guess find a good partner for Regirock?

[lilac matrix]

how have people felt about this gauntlet? i dont know why but something about this particular set of challenges is incredibly boring to me., my guess is because none of the three are obvious 'freebies' you can throw whoever you want at like you can with latias or latios. perhaps i am just growing bored of this game, though

[worthy horizon]

yeah this one is expected to be particularly rough bc of that

[void aspen]

Idk I like that none are freebies it sorta makes the resource management aspect more important which is kinda the point of LG it seems

[lilac matrix]

the RNG element of the game overrides the importance of resource management

[loud shell]

Double rock damage dealers is really annoying

[lilac matrix]

a 'freebie' to me always has acted like a kind of 'release valve' for being annoyed with that state of things

[loud shell]

basically all rock weak mons are going to uxie for me despite being more suited elsewhere

I've had to divert some sun units because terrak hits too hard for them

[pearl beacon]

On Uxie, you can use use tech venomoth
Dodges + restoring should be enough to tank with exr

[lilac matrix]

in other words the game is not legitimately challenging but just asks 'how much time are you willing to spend on multiple resets?' which i hate, but if at least one of the three is an easy clear where i dont have to think "oh no i couldve cleared with less if only id been willing to reset for good RNG another hour" it bothers me less

[worthy horizon]

i've actually had fun with it overall though

[lilac matrix]

all 3 of these challenges reward RNG resets so im not having any fun

[worthy horizon]

that's understandable

[loud shell]

Terrak is definitely a breath of fresh air but I wish we had gotten cresselia too just for extra variety

[void aspen]

Like Cress/Regi/Terrak?

[loud shell]

I'd prefer Cress Terrak and Bulu/Lati

I get that's a nightmare rotation though

[void aspen]

Would definitely be less burdensome on your super physically bulky tanks than current rotation

Regi and Terrak both hit pretty darn hard to have to deal with other gimmicks

[worthy horizon]

i might hate cresselia less than most people but needing to fight evasion will always be grating

[loud shell]

biggest issue with cress would be para/poison and crit icy winds

Be basically regirock but swap crit shield for evasion buff

[worthy horizon]

the cases where you can circumvent it she's perfectly fine imo

[heavy sinew]

37th try pal elesa solo on regi

[loud shell]

Just roll 5 iron tails in a row

ez

[heavy sinew]

Fun fact: I rolled an iron tail in bar 1 and power whip in bar 2 and 3

Game hates me like that

[raven crane]

Best girl.

[heavy sinew]

People say its rough, I like it a lot. Gives me a newfound sense of anger I didn't feel before and plus I can see some mind boggling clears that wouldn't have been seen elsewhere, especially in a rotation where the 3 bosses are very restrictive

[heavy sinew]

Amen

[pearl beacon]

LG is actually a good challenging mode if played correctly and on top of that it's really rewarding
You need overall knowledge of your units capability as well as the stages
Also is the only mode that let you enjoy everything you have, even stupid renamed eggmons

Sure by the time, more n more units have inflated runs that's why people are shifting over more comfortable runs
You don't need to follow the solo chart and you don't need to feel bad if your clear isn't "cheap" eanough (I see that a lot)
At some point any run is a good run, just don't go overkill

Good reasions to play LG are:

• gamemode is really rewarding
• you can make any unit shine
• you don't need to have high move lvl limited units

I mean look at him, he's begging to be a part of a team

[loud shell]

I just play it for the power up tickets

gotta get more 6*

[heavy sinew]

sus

I play it to see how skillful I am with my solos and duos

24 solos so far

Will probably start doing duos at around 30 or 27

[loud shell]

Hey I've exed Karen and Hala this go around so far

[heavy sinew]

Karen is so fun to play

Expanded Grid made her very fun

[loud shell]

Dark pulse aggravation and satisfied snarl were so good for her

[scenic bolt]

I don’t see how it’s not legitimately challenging

A game mode that has no rng (or variance but rng is the easiest variance)will get stale

Like I’ll always applaud roplame for this ncred work

[loud shell]

Just do trios and overkill it every time. Then no challenges

[scenic bolt]

But I’ll never do it because it bores me

[loud shell]

[heavy sinew]

speaking of, is there any UB coming up

I don't think so?

Cause I didn't see it in datamine Sunday

[raven crane]

It’s the irida ub

I'm hoping ghetsis can actually do some damage for me

[inner turret]

urgh that means ub sheet update tomorrow

It’s looking like ncleaf ssmorty will be able to do it with a speed debuffer

[raven crane]

Gheeeeeetsis.

I dont want to do that shit anymore maaaan

He’s so tired of doing it

Incoming anniversary

There will be new clears for all 3 units on all ubs

You know I’m right

[loud shell]

I'll be curious how diverse nita clears will be compared to leon

[heavy sinew]

Still that's a high number

[inner turret]

I literally got 3

[heavy sinew]

Gakon

[inner turret]

URGHHHHH

[heavy sinew]

uh

Gakon 2

And uh

[scenic bolt]

[heavy sinew]

Gakon 3

[scenic bolt]

And he’s still suffering ain’t no way

I think mex is helping

[loud shell]

Genuine question how long does it take to add a single clear to the doc?

[inner turret]

Mex, Khaku and Gakon

but they don't do much

[heavy sinew]

Hey I was right

[inner turret]

a minute or so

[scenic bolt]

Wooooow

[heavy sinew]

On one

[scenic bolt]

[inner turret]

less if I'm in the mood

or if the submission was done correctly

[pearl beacon]

If you need help for that and the unit utility I'm happy to help

[loud shell]

Yeah still time consuming when compounded

[scenic bolt]

What’s 3 times our current ub count

[pearl beacon]

I'm using the utility tool quite a lot so will be a pleasure keeping it updated

[inner turret]

Dreamy's the one who has perms on the discord team stuff

You can ask him for perms

[pearl beacon]

K, gonna contact him

[inner turret]

I guess I could take some help on the utility sheet

not like it's much work to begin with but i've been busy (and lazy ) recently

[scenic bolt]

You must grind lg and the sheet

Incredible

[pearl beacon]

No worries there are up and downs

[inner turret]

I'm not grinding lg

I'll just use all my normal types like my 1st vid last time

and that's it I think

[scenic bolt]

Legit I think pmex stale rn

I want a coop mode

Neow

Gimme raid

Cuz like these days content is high score which last one was our most premium yet

Lg which I know you guys like but ugh

Ultimate battle which I personally have lost most of my initial like for

Cuz it’s one time

And battle rally which honestly I like to use boost but since best method for points is no boost

It’s no longer fun mode

So no content

[river cliff]

I want a CS Gauntlet

[scenic bolt]

I do not cuz it’s gonna be filled with sleep chain and flinch chain

Much fun big wow

[river cliff]

There's only so many flinchers and sleepers

And doing it against 3 opponents is very different

[scenic bolt]

I give you

[pearl beacon]

I think it's a usual cycle
Anni to half Anni is usually great
Vice versa is quite low overall
On summer ppl tend to care less, I guess

[scenic bolt]

I suppose that’s true

But I don’t think anni will revive my interest if it’s just another roster check game mode

Ultimate battle at least shiny new HARD.

But now no longer shiny or new

So I wonder what kind of content is in the works

Like I guess to explain why I feel like game in rut it’s that it’s more obvious now than ever the game is throwing roster checks at us

[kind imp]

Solo investiment lowering/new solo
it's very not roster check

[scenic bolt]

Lg

[kind imp]

Spending a week into a clear

[scenic bolt]

But also lg is more size than anything I guess?

[kind imp]

Not lg

[inner turret]

speaking of utility doc i've just added a new filter for y'all terrakion enthusiasts

[scenic bolt]

Idk it’s not a strict roster check but it ain’t fun for me

[kind imp]

LA

[scenic bolt]

La isn’t hard enough to justify anything wut

[kind imp]

Solo investiment lowering/new solo

[scenic bolt]

That’s only useful for lg

[pearl beacon]

More abt self challenge

[kind imp]

^

[scenic bolt]

I mean sure but like

I got bored of ultimate battles already

[kind imp]

There's a ton of solos that are too hard to pull of in lg

Or very investiment specific that no one is gonna have like non ex 1/5 SS lyra

[heavy sinew]

UBs are a one and done for me

I just want the gems

[pearl beacon]

Been hunting lana solo Azelf for months, not trying, not even crossing my mind

[kind imp]

I like solos

Like having the opponent speed matter more than most places

[heavy sinew]

I like rng

makes stuff like pal elesa regi and Uxie solos much more engaging

Even if it costs my sanity

[pearl beacon]

So true and underrated thing

The fact they have gauge and you can disrupt them
Speed debuff no longer are just multipliers

[kind imp]

Ye

Tho I'm not really a fan of fly/shadow force/etc.. timing solos

[pearl beacon]

Always hated that
I did Nate solo to get to 200
And he's not even the worst

[kind imp]

And like the old LAs that don't use moves instantly on transition
coba, regirock, latios, etc..

Having them use up their gauge before the transition it's cool
Like delaying/avoiding bar 3 wood hammer bulu by stalling him out of gauge in bar 2
And sometimes do the opposite thing
Like knowing bar 2 registeel is really fast so you can stall bar 1 a bit and transition right before he would use a move
And a bunch of other LA techs like this

[worthy horizon]

yeah i like stuff that i can figure out on the fly and those types of dodge solos force you to sit down and learn

[scenic bolt]

Me with la

Also with recent ubs

Not fun anymore

[raven crane]

Wish we could see enemy gauge.

[void aspen]

Is there a specific trigger to Regi using hyper beam?

I’ve been trying the Maylene clear but it keeps going for Hyper Beam at the end and KOing me lol

[heavy sinew]

happens after rock smash in first half of bar 3

or after 2nd half, after stomp

[void aspen]

Ok so it’s just kinda random

[heavy sinew]

not really?

its a loop

[void aspen]

Ooo okay

I didn’t notice it was on a loop lol

[lost juniper]

It only triggers after first sync though

[heavy sinew]

i had it trigger twice tho one time

weird

[lost juniper]

Yeah once above half, once below

But it's predictable to when it comes

[void aspen]

Yeah this most recent run I got his with it twice, managed to tank the first but no hope for the second

Maylene is 5* and I’m using the right grid + pretty good skill gears so it’s weird I’m just not able to do it

[raven crane]

I hate this fucking game.

[heavy sinew]

Where do y'all put sycamore

[worthy horizon]

easy terrakion solo

[heavy sinew]

Really

[thick dawn]

like

you mean regirock right lol

[thick dawn]

excuse me then lol

[raven crane]

Iono about easy.

Lucky probably.

[heavy sinew]

Zamn

[worthy horizon]

i've done several harder duos by this point i feel like

more rng-reliant

[raven crane]

I'll give it a go.

Just spent 7 hours doing Adaman's solo, what else is new.

[worthy horizon]

it is slow and the run enders are all on bar 3 tbf

[raven crane]

Woe is me.

Energy help?

Or still just as painful?

[worthy horizon]

don't think it'd make much difference

did you do the ss cyrus solo?

[heavy sinew]

yea

[worthy horizon]

yeah i would believe that one to be harder

[heavy sinew]

huh

Interesting

[worthy horizon]

maybe just me

[heavy sinew]

Rn i'm on uxie and idk what to solo with

[raven crane]

Huh. Really?

Out of the "hard" ones I've done SS Cyrus, SC Rosa and Adaman.

Rosa on Uxie.*

And SC Zinnia vs Regirock.

[worthy horizon]

yeah i specifically skipped the ss cyrus solo

[raven crane]

Cyrus made me want to pull my hair out vs Registeel last Gauntlet.

I just duo'd with an Eggmon to call it quits.

But this time I've been dedicated to the solo life...

[rocky oasis]

stupid rika duo that domehow worked

[heavy sinew]

hard ones I had so far was NC Serena, pal elesa and maybe cyrus

[heavy sinew]

uxie?

[rocky oasis]

terrakion

exr rika necessary

[heavy sinew]

0/5 rika

[rocky oasis]

Clay OHKOs bar 3

[raven crane]

Clay is a goat.

[rocky oasis]

and its stupid

or close to OHKOs at least

the fact that its under zone doesnt make it any less stupid

[sturdy steeple]

gotta love rikas debuffs

[raven crane]

Clay got multipliers.

Just not an offensive stat... Or an EX.

[rocky oasis]

and 272 atk

Like having good gear helps

[raven crane]

If Anniversary Steven can make it work-

[rocky oasis]

he probably can

[vital ibex]

i thought the anni raihan terrakion solo would be easier at 5/5 +10E

i was wrong it still sucks wtf i have spent so long on it and have barely even grazed bar 3

[sturdy steeple]

anni raihan solo and easy do not belong in the same sentence unfortunately

[vital ibex]

yeah… i wish bro had some sort of healing

like!! give him some sort of healing that is just 6.25% in any weather

praying on side expansion that wont happen 🙏

[heavy sinew]

That's why we have "Please reconsider"

x2

And x3

[vital ibex]

💀 fair point

i thought that was only considering 4/5 ex

i see now i was wrong and a fool

[strong sand]

The motto of LG

[olive swift]

Bestie when u posting teams

[thick dawn]

check out my yt in my discord bio

also lg clears take time! most of us will probably be finished up-ish in a week or so

[bitter gate]

this time everyone also seems to be going a bit slower

but I feel extra slow

I'm still at 51 and my ratio is shit

sadge

[thick dawn]

this is the most time i've had for LG for a long time and the most i've prepared for

and im just about breaking even with my last two lg's lol

in terms of time at least

for now it's staring at spreadsheets and seeing if a new physical striker has appeared in my roster for regirock since 5 minutes ago

[bitter gate]

yeah regirock is extremely annoying to make teams for

@thick dawn do you know how eggmon wikstrom works

i was gonna use Brock but someone said eggmon can be done

[thick dawn]

can't say i have any idea what you're talking about

[bitter gate]

against regirock as a duo

[thick dawn]

yeah i know

[bitter gate]

eggmon + wikstrom apparently can do it

[thick dawn]

like as in I can't fathom any eggmon + wikstrom duo happening

[bitter gate]

I know Brock makes it easy but Im not even sure if I wanna do that

but ehh, maybe I'll just throw anyway, at this point I'm not making top 100 like the past LGs

[heavy sinew]

I'm way more slower than usual

So felt

[karmic willow]

Next season

Imma do nc calem with masked royale

Against terrakion

Masked royale got good dps fyi

[sterile frost]

Got it from registeel's duo lol

[karmic willow]

Like dude has

FOUR WAYS to bump his dps

[heavy sinew]

Is it worth doing glorialt solo on terrakion or uxie

I saw luri's terra video and it looked terrible

[bitter gate]

@median swan ahh, I see you actually did the uhh

Cait/egg espeon duo

idk why I struggled to make it work, lol

[karmic willow]

just get heals tbh

[bitter gate]

ehh, I gave up and just did the olympia duo

there's some other solutions with cait like egg gyarados anyway

[median swan]

it's annoying

but it really is just catalytic cure: the run

[karmic willow]

how does espeon live long enough?

like

you'd have to seriously speedrun buffs

[young forge]

Hmm last time I did Kiawe / Clay duo against Uxie (since Clay can poison) but I might do this instead

[rocky oasis]

needs exr btw

[stuck mantle]

Sst red never fail
