Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)

[karmic willow]

Last smog dealt 666

I still got a few solos left in me alright

Let's just hope it's enough for 240 wins

[bitter gate]

what is a 1/5 ss steven good for

can I just duo it with my 1/5 may or something

[rocky oasis]

yes

[river cliff]

Hm Clay + 1/5 NC Cheren is pretty close to working

[karmic willow]

The freezes were so good

Eggmon got to live til the end

I froze it once at start

Again at bar 2

And one last time at bar 3

[bitter gate]

hmmm.

and I can save candice for another round

@thick dawn Arise, for I beseech thy wisdom

Dana/Mcleo duo

guide pls

[karmic willow]

which candice?

BP

or not

[bitter gate]

both

[karmic willow]

i am still

coping

Candice and Glacia

i mean Holiday Rosa could do it because dodge hax + healing hail but

nah

[river cliff]

It's all about Grant

[karmic willow]

yeah on second thought this is way too overkill lmfao

regret

[river cliff]

Using SS N on Uxie feels like kind of a waste

[karmic willow]

i really thought hard about it

like

"a flincher works as well"

but the problem here is that

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JIIcaOiLIMZkdvXbz_kv154n7exqQH80dxn6rrdgqS0/edit?gid=937651758#gid=937651758

if you look at my sheeet

you will see that most of the clears on terrrakion are sort of done planning

well, not "done" done

but i know what kind of win conditions i CAN go for

and between regirock and uxie

ss n got a home

[thick dawn]

healthy healing on dana, fast track 2 on solgaleo

probs need ok skill gear

then just,, kill the thing lol

[bitter gate]

Grids?

Mostly that

[thick dawn]

dana is 1/5 obv but antifreeze is on there which came into play a lot more than it shouldve

i've been slow to make vids cause i've done like 20 clears in 3 days lol

not a great pace for my standards

[river cliff]

So this does work for Cheren, but it's probably overkill. With him being 1/5 0/20, I'm not sure who would really make sense to use. I also quit before the battle finished since I'm sure it can be done cheaper

[bitter gate]

how close was the clear, fwiw

i thought running PR would've been the call

also, who eats the TM

[thick dawn]

dana

and here's ur answer lol

[thick dawn]

don't think i've ever been to that side of solgaleos grid ever since the upgrade lol

it could very well be more optimal

but why think

[karmic willow]

should have duo'd

with cheren instead

save dana for characters that can actually use SEUN like

Helena

you're forced to nuke bar 2 with SEUP

which is

not THAT bad

[thick dawn]

my cheren is not like most

also everyone and their mom is doing cheren ss grimsley on regi lol

[karmic willow]

nah i'm a

ss grims and hilbert enjoyer

the bois will always go together

kinda like how Barry and SS Brendan will always go together for me

that duo has helped me slain Tornadus since the 1/5 EX days for Brendan

[worthy horizon]

kabu's solos look more grindy than i want to put up with tbh

much more of a duo/team unit

has a lot of good tiles on his grid but they're very spread apart so you never get everything you want even with +10e

he can't run impervious because he needs debuffs to get more successful uses on his tm for more hit and heal

rebuff looks to be capped at 3

moltres isn't happening right now

if they don't have any defense debuffs i don't think kabu gets the solo

gonna need to lean into his b-move a lot to not be worse ss morty

[dense spire]

Which fight is the hardest this gauntlet?

I have a few piercing blows units and can’t really decide which fight to use them on

[worthy horizon]

at the start i'd say terrakion

you'll get more differing opinions from people who are way late into their streaks

[dense spire]

Ok I see

[worthy horizon]

some pblows units go to uxie but i spent most on terrakion

[dense spire]

I thought Uxie would be the most problematic because of the DR he gets without specific statuses

Trrrakion looks like he can be brute forced

[river cliff]

Terrakion just hits way too hard while also having a gimmick to deal with

Much more difficult to brute force imo

[dense spire]

Oh is it?

I’m about to try a big streak because I need to farm cookies

[worthy horizon]

don't need a massive streak for farming purposes

[dense spire]

Ok ill try a few fights and see how it goes

[karmic willow]

Depends

Terrakion is much more managable at trios

like it can be simply just

set wtz and nuke bar 2 and 3

done

regirock is a pain due to how limiting crit shield can make you feel

and of course, if you don't have enough status, no Uxie for you

[dense spire]

That makes sense

I’m not liking this LG at all

[karmic willow]

trust me

nobody does

so many clears are overlap

it's a sacrifice to go for this or that

[dense spire]

Normally there’s one particular difficult fight and you mostly plan around that

[karmic willow]

like i had to pivot SS Acerola over to regirock solo

when realistically

she can decimate terrrakion with SC Sonia

and even THEN

that clear is not simple because of bar 2 shinnenigans

acerola is not a sp.def tank by all means

so even things like

Summer N begins to make sense

[lost juniper]

Anyone got a team for 2/5 Tornadus? Not gonna EXR so I don't know if nao's team works without it

Cheren and Tornadus I mean

[quaint tartan]

I think ex is the most important part, no trio opp so no need for exr specifically

[lost juniper]

Hm, maybe I'll EX him then

[river cliff]

I did not expect the Colress Lickitung clear to be as tight as it is

[karmic willow]

@sturdy steeple can you add this clear innnn

https://youtu.be/UF9zrFtAVzU?si=uUOpq-KwG1v7fK8H

+10E gets you Dashing Team 9

Which makes gauge so much more consistent

With that means more healing

[quaint tartan]

Where to put 1/5 kabu tho, uxie it is but still thinking about the partner lol

[stuck mantle]

Lol 10+ on gloria🧐? Rosa stan is ritch

[karmic willow]

I do on most fire units

That i care about

So far only 2 lol

And there goes my orb stash this month

[worthy horizon]

healing source

[karmic willow]

Last month May

This month Gloria

Next month maybe finally Morty

[stuck mantle]

Kabu on uxie make sens only and some damage dealer

[worthy horizon]

ideally that also deals damage since kabu can't max move until bar 2

[stuck mantle]

Gloria alt dont need it realy

[worthy horizon]

it's gonna be tricky

[worthy horizon]

lot of things might be with kabu haha

[karmic willow]

Sand sync a little bit too early

But

It doesn't matter

I was scared shitless by this

It was too close for comfort

[worthy horizon]

maybe sawyer

[loud shell]

sawyer and kabu?

[worthy horizon]

gets kabu the attack buffs while he can't get them from his own max move, synchro healing for sustain

and patches up the +4 defenses to +6

[loud shell]

fair enough the gauge will be pretty bad though

[worthy horizon]

vigilance kabu fast track sawyer

kabu tank

[loud shell]

I feel like sawyer is better served on terrak as a flincher

[worthy horizon]

i tried sawyer/rachel vs terrakion but it's not good

40% flinch and no attack debuffs and not great damage output

[loud shell]

that's crazy. Mad respect for attempting that chaos of a clear

oh wait

dark pulse is 20% innate

I completely forgot

Same issue pre grid expansion karen had

[worthy horizon]

i did too

[loud shell]

We're spoiled with bite

[kind imp]

i also always forget waterfall is 20% innate

[worthy horizon]

terrakion does enough special attacks during bar 2 to where they're actually decent there and they get to bar 3

and then they do nothing

[loud shell]

That's right, that's why I dislike using lodge silver as a flincher

More accurate with ice punch if I recall

[karmic willow]

he's shit

What's worse is

You have to land it so that his sync actually does things

[worthy horizon]

very unlike whitney whose nuke is strong without all her multipliers or even having tech ex

[lost juniper]

1/5 EX R Bianca can indeed solo Tornadus

And I even used the wrong gear lmao

[rocky oasis]

hiping we can get bulu, latios or raikou next LG

[bitter gate]

wtf am I doing

with my comps

[pearl beacon]

Og safe ones 📈

[river cliff]

Omg finally

Needed the help of the mpr gods for that one

[bitter gate]

idgi

[river cliff]

I really hope Whitney gets her EX soon, I had to dump 15 power ups on her

[pearl beacon]

Great sinergy comps, I'm gonna use those

Hope 1/5 irida can work as well

[sturdy steeple]

No kabu gaming?

[worthy horizon]

going to be a lot of hit and heal grinding for his solos

[pearl beacon]

No Adam pulling?

[worthy horizon]

and using debuffs from the enemy to get more successful tm hit and heals

[pearl beacon]

Tbh Kabu is quite popular too, maybe JP players are cooking someththing

[worthy horizon]

snow pulled him so it's likely you'll see something from him

[pearl beacon]

Noice

[worthy horizon]

i tried vs entei and it's wack that it literally doesn't look possible with impervious

[sturdy steeple]

Lol

[worthy horizon]

yeah noooooooot looking good

[pearl beacon]

Imagine if 3/5 10E to get loltios ooooff

[sturdy steeple]

Can't say I'm too surprised but I'm sure some will pop up eventually

[worthy horizon]

i'm sure 3/5 flat can do it

[bitter gate]

holy jesus

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GQKvdp1aEAA9YST?format=jpg&name=large

what is that

huat the fuck is that

the main doc doesn't have this I think?

[worthy horizon]

new solo yea

[bitter gate]

Nita regirock solo lmao

sharp entry dodge gaming

lmao

[lost juniper]

How does Maylene Weezing duo work on Regi?

[pearl beacon]

Damn fly gaming?

[bitter gate]

also I think I'm literally just doing

kitchen sink gaming at this point

I'm so bad at this mode lol

[river cliff]

Lotsa tm mprs

[lost juniper]

Yikes. Too bad she doesn't have haste

[river cliff]

It might be worth running it on her over vigilance tbh

[worthy horizon]

vs regirock w/o vigilance is a death sentence unless you can get a quick clear

[river cliff]

She does heal a lot tho

If she doesn't get 1 shot and you don't get crit hyper beamed I think it's safe

In theory

[bitter gate]

should I just do the NY Clair solo

versus Regirock

you know what, fuck it, imma do it

[lost juniper]

Maybe she should since were else she even goes

[bitter gate]

uxie duo or some shit

cause paralysis

also I'm really tempted ot do

1/5 SS Acerola + Lodge Irida

but im not sure if thats better of I should throw like

my 1/5 maxie with her or something

because acerola at 1/5 is pretty damn horrid lol

at least Irida gives me the leeway

[sturdy steeple]

Tm mprs and a dream

Reset for like 5 at least tbh

[sturdy steeple]

She can fly and has Eva to avoid the sure crits tbh

[worthy horizon]

oh yeah for nita, i was thinking for maylene

nita would need sharp entry

[sturdy steeple]

Oh v true but I think you still can get away without vigil it's just scary,,

[worthy horizon]

possible but def not straightforward

[bitter gate]

I forget what I did with Nita, I think it was terrakion

@sturdy steeple if my ssteven + anni may are both 1/5

can I like

just throw them together

or is there a better option

[sturdy steeple]

1/5 sssteven is still a good flincher

And you can use like any flincher with 1/5, 2/5 anni may

[bitter gate]

mine isn't EXed though, is the thing

probably shouldn't matter but her gauge is quite heavy

[sturdy steeple]

That does kinda suck

[worthy horizon]

was bertha nita, i just checked

[bitter gate]

oh right, bertha nita

ye

[sturdy steeple]

I have plumeria planned personally

[bitter gate]

that was good

I can give it a shot, I guess

[sturdy steeple]

Since my may is only 2/5

Only difference really being tm mprs I think

I gotta get back to runs 😭 it's been like 2 whole days of no progress

[bitter gate]

Im also really stunted rn

at 85

with a horrid ratio

[sturdy steeple]

Don't feel too bad cause this lineup is super rough

[bitter gate]

still, a lot of people also manage their stuff properly

while Im kind of just trolling around lol

@sturdy steeple btw

[sturdy steeple]

Yippiee

[bitter gate]

didn't need too many flinches, mostly just get past the first bar, brute the second bar with first pterrain than final pterrain is used to oneshot the last bar

etc

[worthy horizon]

trolling is fun

[bitter gate]

ratio diff be like

[worthy horizon]

collective strength difference

[bitter gate]

I have less strength than the guy below me

but like, there's also investment diff

I don't have a lot of the solo units despite my strength

I invest mostly in the bad stuff and was mostly a CS person before LGing, and I usually only waifu/husbando pull or kit pull if its a bad meme or w/e

[worthy horizon]

yeah no need to blame yourself too much imo

enjoy the game how you want and don't sweat the numbers too much

those numbers involve a whole ton of uncontrollable factors

[median swan]

working with the constraints of your roster is what makes gauntlet teambuilding fun

[worthy horizon]

yep

[median swan]

i have sub-4 million strength too and it's fun seeing to what end i could take the roster

that said it's funner in an easier rotation lmfao

[worthy horizon]

since this applies to every game with a ranking system i'll just leave this here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bjlVt2uH2w&t=101s

[feral plank]

So how does this works exactly?

[bitter gate]

catalytic cure procs: the RNG fiesta

[pearl beacon]

Tm rolls and catalytic cure procs, but it's overall pain. Having her at 150 helps (also worth for her othet solos or duos)

[feral plank]

When do i use psychic terrain?

[bitter gate]

second bar, or first bar when terrakion is almost gone

[lost juniper]

https://youtu.be/w25eTSV-S7k

[pliant glen]

That's impressive

[pearl beacon]

Finally good news for my 1/5

[vagrant crypt]

Nuts

[pearl beacon]

Caitlin Espeon run, Espeon survived

[feral plank]

thx

[feral plank]

it doesnt seem that bad, you only got what 3 tm mprs? and then synced and spammed psychic?

[pearl beacon]

Pretty much, it's a fast clear, TM and cure to keep hp up

HH is for comfort, 7 energy isn't that much considering one psychic node cost 5

[feral plank]

sp def drops made me lose , terrain runs out too early, couldn't even sync last bar, got 3 10% sp def drops, when i didnt need them

and confusion too..

it happened again

[bitter gate]

how do you do the sonia solo on regirock

[feral plank]

potion mpr simulator

[bitter gate]

i can't go through even the first bar without dying

[feral plank]

and some tms mprs too

[feral plank]

and now i can't crit a sync..

[bitter gate]

the sonia regirock solo

is actual hell

i can't even get past the third bar without potions running out lol

[stuck mantle]

I have kabu

1/5🤣

And daily save for ani gems

Snow have 1/5 too like larry him

Dont now if candy him or not.

Issue is he heal from b move only when oponent traped and use it. Its 1 bar only. And damage from ember? And mp for heal will work 3 times only. So not sure if maybe uxie possibel .

Latios dont be soo sure take 2 sides and bar 1 will be crazy hard use ember only

[dawn plume]

kabu confirmed trash?

[heavy sinew]

old men

[dawn plume]

they really missed the ball not giving him attack trap

or making the activation condition for his b move burn instead of trap

[pearl beacon]

Alsp considering how UBs cleanse themselves...

Having just one is eww

[dawn plume]

they missed the ball by not making him gen pool

sonia and melony have more cohesive kits

[pearl beacon]

Yeah he shpuld have been genpooled
I mean, we got Tierno which is damn good
Cut out the 4/5 grid titles and he's not too much

[dawn plume]

they trying to hard to make everything b move

[pearl beacon]

Plumeria

[stuck mantle]

B move nice but not when you have limited condition wat can be use 1 time from g max

Its good for cs mode and hse

Also rally stage 1-9

But ub lg rally 10 not use

[pearl beacon]

Did you got him Adam?

[stuck mantle]

Stupid is heal when use b move

Yeap got him from first multi

And now daily

[bitter gate]

So is Kabu stinky in LG?

I was wrong?

[stuck mantle]

Yes solo

[bitter gate]

[stuck mantle]

In team wat can trap is ok

[pearl beacon]

Best tech charizard companion

[stuck mantle]

Or blane

[bitter gate]

Should've given him attack trap smh

[stuck mantle]

Would be ok if heal was from passive

When oponent burn or trap

Then even ember would be not bad

But heal and b move link too g max 1 use is kinda shity

Or 4-5 grid syncro heal

[dawn plume]

ss korrina and argenta soloed terrakion? lol the unit on the triple banner for that fight was ss lana but it was the other two who got the solo

thats funny

[stuck mantle]

Lana never survie bar 2

Ss korrina miss gamming

Argenta is hit fast and sync

[dawn plume]

yeah it makes sense it’s just ironic lol

thinking about kabu he might be able to duo a lot with v kiawe

all 4 people who have v kiawe

[scenic bolt]

He’s really bad?

That’s surprising

[loud shell]

He's bad solo wise because he has a single use of trap for the bmove

I tried him out in some UBs and he's ok

not great like elaine but salvagable with the right unit

[heavy sinew]

korrina?

[feral plank]

yes

5 EX +10E

[stuck mantle]

Same argenta 10+

Honestly for terra wat have alot duo sleep flinch

Kinda waist

Uxie and reggi way more hard for duo then terra.

[heavy sinew]

does she need the extra DPS from the 5/5 tile?

Cause it looks doable without

[dawn plume]

i think so

cuz otherwise she has to take 2 sacred swords

which idk if she can do

she def needs exr

kabu been out for 9 hours and still no solos, worst poke fair support in a WHIIIILE

[heavy sinew]

why did he have to be pokefair man

spotlight was the move 100%

more galar spotlights

[dawn plume]

its 2024 so if not fomo it wont sell !!!

(i know more people who pulled for tierno than kabu)

[heavy sinew]

not even Latios this dude SUCKS

[pearl beacon]

I almost couldn't believe they were releasing Sonia back then

[robust nymph]

wow shauntal is frail

even with dodges I can barely make her live through bar 1

[dawn plume]

dena is like we gotta make every even somewhat popular character poke fair and we gotta give them a buddy move to justify it lets ignore whether or not the buddy move is actually GOOD or PRACTICAL

[heavy sinew]

at least with poppy she hits hard, and Larry has utility and stuff

Kabu just sucks man

[pearl beacon]

Larry is E4 and Dudunspaece is so cool

Pancake units stole my gems 📉

[pearl beacon]

Past lgs you can see her often with h.Jasmine
Sure she need some babysitting

[heavy sinew]

I think it can be cheaper now

[dawn plume]

i still did that one

h jasmine 2/5 but thats all she needs

[robust nymph]

i don't have her

[chrome halo]

Well there is her and BP Morty duo

[feral plank]

any run for nc marnie?

[heavy sinew]

Was thinking uxie

Or terrakion if you're feeling silly

[feral plank]

with dark zone?

seems like i don't have umbreon D:

not even a single one

[heavy sinew]

Wait

That gave me an idea

[feral plank]

every eevee except umbreon

[pearl beacon]

Tea Lillie?

[robust nymph]

how do you get the satus condition?

30% from hot to the touch?

[robust nymph]

nope

[chrome halo]

how about brute forcing

[sharp lichen]

Who are you guys using with for Kimono Grimsley on Regirock?

[feral plank]

gardenia

[loud shell]

I was gonna suggest an eggmon but gardenia is better

[sharp lichen]

Gardenia being ranked lower than an eggmon is funny lol, but it makes sense

[loud shell]

She's just really hard to use this rotation

[sharp lichen]

Yeah

[loud shell]

Terrak hits too hard for her

and Uxie she doesn't give any gimmick for

[chrome halo]

looker

[vital ibex]

i pulled for tierno

[loud shell]

Still haven't gotten tierno. Any decent at 1/5>

[vital ibex]

hes really good

can buff +6 atk +3 crit +4 speed with one mp refresh and can aoe lower defense

plus he has a good handful of LA solos

[dawn plume]

tierno’s the only gen pool i’m missing now, lenora and ryuki both spooked me this month

i think he’s better than kabu loooool

[quaint tartan]

Tierno really good as a spotlight

[vital ibex]

only thing kabu has going for him is that he doesnt need to rely on mpr

[loud shell]

The last spotlight I unlocked was lenora

[quaint tartan]

Lg wise he’s better than Kabu

[loud shell]

and I still refuse to use her

I hate her kit

[heavy sinew]

missing tierno and Olympia

[quaint tartan]

Kabu is more a HSE and CS/UB machine

[heavy sinew]

girl has been missing since the 1900s

[quaint tartan]

We can get more of them in 2 months when they get added to the general ticket and regional pool

the kalos banner will finally make sense

[heavy sinew]

watch me get all drasna and Clemont and still no signs of Olympia

I think I have her at 16/5

Everytime I see the kalos E4 background I think it's her, but nope

[chrome halo]

Bianca banner gave me 2 copies of Drasna, now i'm just missign Tierno

[dawn plume]

cant wait for them to add 2 more spotlights in august like they always do

[heavy sinew]

Chuck

Juan

[dawn plume]

just so we have to wait over a year for them to get ticket pooled

trevor seems likely they added his mon (orange florges) and he keeps showing up in events

[pearl beacon]

Recently I pited Rika, Larry, and basically ncCheren
Still no Ryuki Tierno n Olympia

[loud shell]

I've been plagued with drasnas lately

[feral plank]

where did you use colress?

[loud shell]

regirock with support hitmonchan personally

[chrome halo]

he is better on Uxie

i have seen support Lickitung duo

[feral plank]

hitmonchan first target?

i think i'll go to regi

[loud shell]

yes, if youre going for highest streak gakon is right. It's just hard for me to give up on on type damage

[tender horizon]

Oh wow!

[heavy sinew]

Sheesh

[sturdy steeple]

solowise sure but in a duo hes obvi pretty nice

(as long as that second unit has trap

[stuck mantle]

In duo even egg are good🤣

Wat for pokefair unit 2024 is big L

[sturdy steeple]

oh for sure hes pretty lame for a pokefair support

grusha moment

shouldve been a spotlight

[stuck mantle]

Agree

Grusha is way way better🤣

He can flinch freeze

[sturdy steeple]

and still lame 💀

[stuck mantle]

Lame yes but have some use

[loud shell]

Kabu literally just needed the bmove tied to burn instead of trap and he'd be perfectly fine

[stuck mantle]

Dena prob forgot max move is 1 time use🤣

And use protect to raise crit?

[sturdy steeple]

no, hes just made for short content and HSE

[stuck mantle]

For hse yes

For rest he dont need realy

We have soo many good sups in game already

Hse he care 1000 str team

[loud shell]

true its also nice just to have another fire type support too

[stuck mantle]

Only good fire sup is morty

So hse will be nice

[loud shell]

yes but having another for HSE is good

before it was kiawe morty and tina

[stuck mantle]

Only this 2 is godly lv

[loud shell]

yeah dark ghost will be interesting

[stuck mantle]

Tina is for free play ok kiawe? Depend if 2/3 stage

[loud shell]

Cyrus alone is a free clear for however much you want if no resilience

[stuck mantle]

Dark ghost will be like this lg

Big pain

Most ghost weak too dark

Most ghost are limited sc hallowean units

[loud shell]

yup but dark has some really good limiteds to carry

[stuck mantle]

Dark will carry but dark suks in supps

Tierno is good .

Nc calem? Alot issue

[loud shell]

calem can be used for faster clears

[stuck mantle]

And its all wat we have on good lv

[dawn plume]

fall caitlin good

[loud shell]

Caitlinn may see some use

screens and sync wall on sync is nice

[dawn plume]

kinda weird they run dark ghost hse now and not fall when those units rerun

[stuck mantle]

Yeap

We get hse banner cyrus exr 5/5

And some other rerun wat have exr

Akari prob

They should be when we can get ghost limited units agree not now lol

[hollow meadow]

Let's go lesbians

[raven crane]

Ryme next month, trust.

[loud shell]

Ryme would be dope tbh

[hollow meadow]

Ryme is 100% coming for Halloween

I think I should start spending these lol

[dawn plume]

arven next month actually

[hollow meadow]

Arven anni

[loud shell]

make it field houndstone with sand and ghost zone

[stuck mantle]

Hmm last hse we didnt get no new water or fairy

So dont expect nothing for it

We got alot rerurns banners for it

Master fair too was archie

Now we get ethan?

Perfect for hse🤣

[loud shell]

maybe dark will finally get us the start of the nc galar reruns

[stuck mantle]

So no hope realy for it

They should rerun befor ani

So after hse end they may start drop them

[loud shell]

if she shows up 7/25 she'd run through august

[sharp lichen]

The grid I saw for this run was pretty bad and when I changed it I immediately won lol

[feral plank]

gardenia doesnt have to stay alive for ever

you can let her die

[sharp lichen]

I know, I’m not even sure how she survived lol

[river cliff]

That duo is very dodge reliant unfortunately (more so if you don't have wise entry 2 on Lickitung). I spent over an hour attempting it before I switched to doing Whitney + Tech Lickitung

[chrome halo]

💀

[river cliff]

Somehow that was easier lol

[young forge]

How does the SS Kris + Lodge May duo work? Wailmer takes so much damage from sync or spread moves

[stuck mantle]

This duo is easy

Flinch set rain and hit may surf

[lost juniper]

If 2/5, pray for key flinches

Sync first with May to not waste rain turns

[lost juniper]

It's easy only if 3/5 because she gets team stoic 4

[stuck mantle]

If you dont get rain mp can sync whit may yes

Its easy when you get flinch🤣

I got hit one time only whit kriss

[lost juniper]

Seems like you got lucky, but since your Kris is 5/5 likely it's not like you were in actual danger

[raven crane]

Feel it would be mostly just to make the SS Kris solo easier, since May actually does damage.

[stuck mantle]

Yeap and lodge may need rain for any use

[karmic willow]

Team Stoic

Flinch

Heal

Don't get crit by slapping on vigilance

[stuck mantle]

I use on may crit 2.

[young forge]

My SS Kris is 2/5, maybe it’s finally time to use a move Candy

[karmic willow]

you're gonna get killed by a random crit

also that answer of yours LITERALLY don't help his situation

like sure just add the thing that gets him killed in the first place

[stuck mantle]

I beat it already like 2 day ago

[karmic willow]

doesn't help?

[stuck mantle]

Flinch its all wat you need

[rocky oasis]

vigilance my beloved

[stuck mantle]

Safe run vigi yes

[rocky oasis]

I have it on all supports now

[lost juniper]

Vigilance is safer, weather warrior 3 is good for ranges

[stuck mantle]

But crit 2 help clear it fast whit may

You need skipp or flinch bar 3 eq

Its all wat can kill may

Kriss vigi off course

[rocky oasis]

i remember a double janine team for terrakion

[quaint tartan]

Thisss

[brazen acorn]

If uxie recovers from status change does he gain resistance to it?

[quaint tartan]

I’m all in for any doggo unit 🐶

[lost juniper]

Yes

Uxie becomes immune to sleep and freeze after 2 times, and flinch after 1 time

[dawn plume]

flinch is very bad vs uxie yeah

[lost juniper]

Rebuffs and restrains are the best status changes to use against it since Uxie can't heal those away

Telekinesis from Thorton works on Uxie too

[tender horizon]

1/5 Classic Blue

[brazen acorn]

What of trap?

[kind imp]

and restrain

nessa, ss serena and selene

[tender crater]

SC steven has the no evasion thing too

But tied to rebuff

[kind imp]

you can queue it right before bar transition

[lost juniper]

Immune after 2 times. Same for confusion so use with caution

[brazen acorn]

Well i dont think Elaine works then

[lost juniper]

3/5?

She solos

[brazen acorn]

1/5

[lost juniper]

1/5 can work with a statuser

You just need to skip Bar 2

[brazen acorn]

How if she keeps applying with every attack wouldn't uxie recover from em all

[lost juniper]

She simply brute forces

3/5 allows her to increase her defenses, and lower Uxie's offenses, and get evasion buffs

With all that getting the solo is a piece of cake, though it'll be a long battle

[dawn plume]

elaine is simply immune to dying

[inner turret]

#916852044692856834 so is Fall Roxanne

[dawn plume]

lmao wtf

[dense yew]

That’s just ridiculous

[feral plank]

any suggestions for rose? 3/5 EX

does dmg field work against terra?

[dawn plume]

it does

[hollow meadow]

Bruh...

[dense yew]

Btw do we know how much each bar HP has for these bosses? I’m trying to do a clear I saw with Gordie and Scorbunny on Uxie but I don’t have him EXed and kinda don’t wanna ex him. Trying to see if I’d be able to kill.

[dawn plume]

he also slaughters regirock though

[dense yew]

Why do you have a MC he solo’s and pretty easily too.

[feral plank]

ok so i need a speed mon, non weak to ground with some defenses to go against him

[dawn plume]

the pinned "arena in-depth guides" doc has their hp and other stats

for the most part they generally have about 32k hp per bar, with some exceptions

[dense yew]

Oh I have that doc already lol

I didn’t realize it was in there

[dawn plume]

terrakion is one of those exceptions

35.5k

[hollow meadow]

I kept dying to iron head so I had a Galarian meowth to help with that part. Except it didn't help

Time to start fishing for steel guard

[feral plank]

what grid are you using?

[hollow meadow]

Impervious + sharp entry crit + horn leech master healer + recoup

[dense yew]

If you use this grid you can do it with Vigi. It’s not really too bad so long as you don’t get flinched before or after Iron Head

[feral plank]

then it shouldn't be a problem to solo, how did you keep dying to iron head? with 5/5 ex and power boost you should do this easily

[dense yew]

I used this own and first tried it. Like tbh this one becomes an Auto Battle fight. I sometimes used Moonblast if he has crit protection and I was at full HP since it would do more.

[lost juniper]

Bruh what even going on here

[feral plank]

Well, worked out better than expected, thought earth power would del more dmg , still needed around 7 potions , and some flinches

[tender horizon]

Still good for bar 2 with a duo

[dawn plume]

https://vxtwitter.com/Butterfree_pkms/status/1802314297764463000

kabu got cobalion

no latios yet lol

[feral plank]

125 lol

[dawn plume]

not even fully leveled up LOL

[stuck mantle]

Latios cant get more damage from burn

[dawn plume]

yeah true

[heavy sinew]

Fucking finally

[stuck mantle]

Coba uxie

[feral plank]

He's still trash for lg if no trap

[stuck mantle]

This only wat work

[feral plank]

Well yea uxie seems doable

[dawn plume]

i cant tell what ls he is running

its not vigilance he got crit

[feral plank]

Altough It recovers from trap after half bar

[stuck mantle]

You may do like him

[feral plank]

And facade Will hit a lot

[stuck mantle]

Keep syn befor half bar

[feral plank]

With the burn status

[stuck mantle]

Maybe he kill it

[feral plank]

You mean facade killing kabu?

[stuck mantle]

Sync kill befor half bar 2 kabu

[dawn plume]

oh its dc2

ok makes sense

[feral plank]

Yea he might reach half bar , thats all It needs

[stuck mantle]

Same on uxie use dc 2 after 3/4 sync note should skipp half bar 2

Then bar 3 should be not a problem

[feral plank]

Well Its ontype not crit

Cobalion i mean

Uxie is not weak to fire

[lost juniper]

Kabu 🤝 Gordie
Getting Cobalion and nothing else

[stuck mantle]

Latios is too hard

Since he low sts crits and 3 oponent bar 1

[lost juniper]

What weakness is he?

[stuck mantle]

And dragonite and latios special move use

[dawn plume]

he might be able to get latios but it will probably require extra energy so he can get vigilance and impervious

he is rock weak

[feral plank]

Rock i think

[stuck mantle]

Rock

[dawn plume]

2 rock weak pairs this month with 2 rock type stages in gauntlet

dena funny troll

[sturdy steeple]

I only cry

[lost juniper]

Ah, yeah it sucks

Gordie being water weak is sad too

[sturdy steeple]

Rock is such a bad weakness to have

[feral plank]

Still kabu couldnt do nothing so count it as 1

[heavy sinew]

And psychic

[lost juniper]

Fire types in general usually have terrible weaknesses. Cause water and ground weaknesses are bad too

[stuck mantle]

Uxie should be possibel whit 5 extra

[sturdy steeple]

Everyone should just be bug weak smh

[feral plank]

BEST weakness to have

[heavy sinew]

is there even a bug move used by any of the LAs not named cobalion?

[lost juniper]

Inb4 we get Buzzwole Legendary Arena

[dawn plume]

nope lol

cobalion x scissor is the only one

[sturdy steeple]

No and there's no bug legendaries

[dawn plume]

ultra arena

[heavy sinew]

damn

[lost juniper]

Aren't UBs legendaries?

[heavy sinew]

Technically?

[dawn plume]

its complicated

[feral plank]

I dont think Sync could Skip half bar 2

[sturdy steeple]

No they're UBs

[heavy sinew]

buzzwole LA would go crazy

Superpower downside up

[lost juniper]

Ewwww

Downside Up on opponents is so terrible

[stuck mantle]

You can stall bar 1 for sync buffs

Dont use protect no crit

[lost juniper]

Can't you use max move to skip Bar 2?

[feral plank]

Burn wouldnt let you stall that much

[lost juniper]

Or just let burn damage take it there

[stuck mantle]

Yes but 4 sync buff you get

G max move bar 2

And sync after some moves

Should make it

[feral plank]

5 Sync buffs offtype did only 18k to last bar coba

Ontype*

[stuck mantle]

You have trap

So deal more damage

On uxie

[feral plank]

If uxie stayed trap after Max move skipping half bar It would be nice , but i dont think it does

[stuck mantle]

And some help from skill gear

Should be possibel skipp half bar 2 uxie

[feral plank]

Since in the vid cobalion half bar procs, but since it can quit trap it stays trapped

It could be worth a try, but It would need 5/5 EXR + E and decent skill gear

[stuck mantle]

Need 5/5 exr extra 5 energy or maybe 10 for 5 for sync

Skill gear

[feral plank]

Yeah , quite an investment for only 2 solos if uxie is possible

[stuck mantle]

And dc 2 proc -6 befor half bar 2

Yeap realy expensive

For 1/2 solos

5/5 pokefair for 1 solo

[feral plank]

Yeah, its better to keep it like it is

[lost juniper]

Kabu is dissapointing

[stuck mantle]

Not kabu hyper

But dena🤣

[lost juniper]

Yeah. They did him dirty

The event is cool I'll give them that

[stuck mantle]

Some times i think person who make unit are blind

One is busted too max like bianca

[lost juniper]

And other times they make NC Bianca and Jacq

[stuck mantle]

Next kabu is soo stupid

[lost juniper]

Cheren at least found a good niche at countering Nita lol

Given how hard she is that's impressive

[stuck mantle]

Low speed

I use sst red

He make it woo even ground weak🤣

[lost juniper]

I mean, it's SST Red

What did you expect

[stuck mantle]

Its true number 1 champ

[lost juniper]

I'm still adamant to keep him 1/5 though

[stuck mantle]

Good he have low speed also

[lost juniper]

Red has almost everything in base

Flinch and speed reduction aside

[stuck mantle]

Yeap speed def flinch terrain heal🤣

Para

[feral plank]

The og LA slayer, the first one to get them all

[lost juniper]

Red can stall so effectively too

Like just spam and heals so fast

[stuck mantle]

Yes

Thcunderchosck spam

Quic heal🤣

[stuck mantle]

First no skill gear no exr no extra orbs

All others need gear or exr or orbs

[feral plank]

Yeah, the best of all 3/5 Ex is all he needs

[stuck mantle]

Yeap crazy unit

[feral plank]

one of the first ones to solo moltres in sun

[stuck mantle]

Not lyra was first?

[lost juniper]

Lyra was first I think

[feral plank]

that's why i said one of the first, not the first

[lost juniper]

Lyra needs EX R to do 1/5 solo on Moltres

[stuck mantle]

She need get field

[lost juniper]

That extra terrain uptime is more than enough

[feral plank]

assuming she gets field exr

[lost juniper]

Yeah provided it's field

[feral plank]

like ss ethan

[stuck mantle]

But since ethan got it not sure if it happend

[lost juniper]

Yeah that's why I don't like him getting it

[stuck mantle]

Kinda dont get why he got it

Sprint supp

[feral plank]

yea, i don't think its gonna happen, she might get support or sprint

[stuck mantle]

This make sens

[lost juniper]

I think support is best for her

[kind imp]

just don't give her strike

[lost juniper]

But I think she'll be like SST Red

[feral plank]

appart from field obv

[kind imp]

+40 speed from sprint is really nice, sup and field are obvious

[lost juniper]

Her kit relies on terrain

[stuck mantle]

Hope she get it

[lost juniper]

Definitely

[stuck mantle]

Maybe why they do it separate

[lost juniper]

10 more days until we find out

[feral plank]

support defenses are nice to always, see how ss hilda changed

[lost juniper]

Maybe then I'll finally make her 3/5

[stuck mantle]

All get field jotho trio

[lost juniper]

SS Hilda screamed for support

[feral plank]

kris would be nice, you would have like 5 rain dance

[lost juniper]

Thankfully she got it

[stuck mantle]

11-12 day should be datamine

And we now wat dena cooking

[lost juniper]

I don't mind Kris not having field, since she gets an mpr back

[rocky oasis]

uxie duo

[feral plank]

yea, terrakion would be so much easier, although moltres would be kind of a waster

[stuck mantle]

For kriss field or sprint only make any use

Tech no strike no

[rocky oasis]

shes good enough ill take anything

[feral plank]

yeah

[lost juniper]

Infinite weather goes brrrr

[stuck mantle]

Fields is soo op for solos

[feral plank]

yea but you are wasting a weather , since you already set it up before sync to not die

[lost juniper]

I'll make her 3/5 probably when Moltres returns

[feral plank]

you will still need an mpr

[lost juniper]

Yeah field doesn't change her solo

But everything else is easier now

[stuck mantle]

Moltres no

Others yes

[lost juniper]

She doesn't even need EX for Entei or Latios

[stuck mantle]

Like terrakion would be way more easy this way

[worthy horizon]

rush down center for longest lasting trap and getting to bar 2 for debuffs for more hit and heal

[stuck mantle]

Salamnce dont have ston edge?

[worthy horizon]

you can tank

[stuck mantle]

Not sure if he can survive bar 1

[worthy horizon]

he does at 3/5

[feral plank]

yea, you wouldn't need the 3 rain dance in first bar, i would say just the first one

[stuck mantle]

And use max move bar 1 ?

[worthy horizon]

yeah you can start with max move

early protect plus max move

[stuck mantle]

Then wat you do bar 2?

Use ember?

And bar 3?

If you live

[worthy horizon]

yeah

[feral plank]

i still don't know why i didn't give it to mine, i gave to both serenas before

[worthy horizon]

he'll run out of trap partially into bar 2

[lost juniper]

Both Serenas really want it too

[worthy horizon]

nothing left to do but ember and sync

[stuck mantle]

Hmm this jp player maybe try latios or not we need wait

[feral plank]

and ss steven too

[worthy horizon]

yeah the jps will be on it

[lost juniper]

SS Steven also wants it

[stuck mantle]

If he dont do latios in 1-2 days mean not possibel

[worthy horizon]

nahhhh

[feral plank]

yea but hilda more, now i have to look for a duo in uxie because she doesn't have it

[worthy horizon]

it’s just disappointingly bad for a new unit but far from impossible

[feral plank]

ss steven can still solo most LAs without role

[stuck mantle]

We can wait and see

If kabu do it

But uxie is more possibel then latios for me

If you invest orbs and good gears

[feral plank]

it still isn't worth it to get kabu to 5/5 EXR +10E for 3 solos

[stuck mantle]

Agree

This need like 8+

To think if its wort

[heavy sinew]

Die hard Kabu fans (like 3 JP people):

[worthy horizon]

i like kabu but not resetting for hit and heals

[stuck mantle]

You can use it 3 times any way

So 1 tm mp need

Not big gamming if have 2 trainer move

[feral plank]

there are still some roles that aren't worth it, not even thinking it, like some supports with tech EXR

[stuck mantle]

Yeap sup tech is meh

[worthy horizon]

you'll get more than 3 uses if they debuff defenses so entei and latios are def possible

[feral plank]

if larry roles were inverted i think it would be better now that i think off

[stuck mantle]

They more need imprevious

[worthy horizon]

impervious makes things impossible lol

just not enough healing

[stuck mantle]

Since when you get too mutch debuff you will waist tm mp

Get them back

And dont get heal

And wait when heal end you will be on -

Entei and latios will debuff you realy fast and you still have your heal

[feral plank]

it's too much thinking for a latios solo

[stuck mantle]

Its funny yes

5/5 pokefair afraid latios🤣

Who would expect this haha

[feral plank]

yea do you know what makes it worse, that kabu is support

[stuck mantle]

Yes

[worthy horizon]

definitely not ss lysandre though

he actually has a shot

[lost juniper]

How

[worthy horizon]

kabu does

not ss lysandre

[stuck mantle]

Ss lysandre is old unit

[lost juniper]

Oh yeah

[stuck mantle]

Kabu new

[lost juniper]

SS Lysandre does nothing

[feral plank]

ss lysandre depends totally on burn that's his problem

[worthy horizon]

solo-wise yes

bad gauge bad sustain

[stuck mantle]

He would need freebe

[feral plank]

the one that could be possible if it didnt have flameproof would be entei but sadly it has it

[worthy horizon]

yea

[feral plank]

since it would burst through it

[stuck mantle]

Entei its too hard for kabu no burn

[lost juniper]

If he had an upgrade like SS Giovanni it could work

Giovanni getting heals and gauges is what allows him to solo

[worthy horizon]

fire rebuff and flameproof vigilance and escape artist on grid are big though

it's likely you'll want to keep one as your lucky skill

[lost juniper]

It's like anti Entei guy

[stuck mantle]

Big is entei flameproof🤣

[lost juniper]

Except he can't actually solo lmao

[stuck mantle]

Yeap

No burn no chance

[worthy horizon]

disagree

[stuck mantle]

Then how you would solo entei lol

If have ember for 2 bars lol😅

Burn would deal more damage then you in 3/4 moves

[worthy horizon]

don't you get proven wrong half the time you say something is impossible

[raven crane]

Burned.

Pun intended.

[worthy horizon]

like

i don't think that's bad

in the face of someone claiming latios is impossible at least

[hollow meadow]

Give my man's Molayne an EX already

[dawn plume]

i dont get this bugsy marshal clear at all

how tf is bugsy supposed to live

hes dead by midway bar 2 in my best attempts and without him gauge is gone

[worthy horizon]

i'll upload mine but i used stoic and got a lucky dodge

[worthy horizon]

btw not the limit of what he can do but what i accomplished with just 15 minutes

idk how vigilance e bugsy does it but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIvkA5VLvyQ

stoic helps tank the syncs

i didn't crop video right

starts at 4:20 lol

[lost juniper]

You did Latios?

[worthy horizon]

i could but i didn't think it would be that exciting xd

especially since i'm at pretty high investment now

i'll do it though

z

[dawn plume]

i've reached a low point... considering exing cheren

[heavy sinew]

Blasphemous

Heresy

[worthy horizon]

next attempt

trap actually lasts the entire fight

i tried at 1/5 and it didn't look possible but thought it was too obvious at 3/5 to check again

[dawn plume]

hey if no one's gotten it yet then grab it

[worthy horizon]

and 2/5 wouldn't have gotten him hit and heal

[dawn plume]

is it still just cobalion so far?

[heavy sinew]

bugsy using leer on regirock:

[worthy horizon]

yeah no reports of anything else yet

i got heat wave burned

[sturdy steeple]

Ain't no one pulling for this dude kabu 😭

The vigilance route of bugsy marshal spams attacks with bugsy

I also prefer vigilance cause I can survive the rock slide on bar 2

[dawn plume]

40

[heavy sinew]

flinch:

[dawn plume]

not my best gauntlet

[heavy sinew]

I agree

I haven't even done much this gauntlet either

37

[dawn plume]

game crashed right after taking this screenshot… classic

[sturdy steeple]

Hate it

[rotund rain]

I only did 11 so far

[dawn plume]

also this is probably known but when f roxanne's sync puts terrakion below half bar terrakion buffs itself first THEN the stat flip happens

very cool

[worthy horizon]

if there was any doubt that a non-strike could get latios

[dawn plume]

woo there we go

2 solos

what a lad

[rotund rain]

Nice!

Yea, his kit isn’t solo-friendly

[worthy horizon]

duos with lodge lillie for debuffs and trap will make a lot of things easy

[sturdy steeple]

Passive effects my beloved

[sturdy steeple]

Lmao

[worthy horizon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-O9uiBulvc

3/5 flat can do it but it could take some time

even 2/5 isn't strictly impossible

moltres dream is dead though sadly

[lost juniper]

Maybe could still do Entei?

[worthy horizon]

definitely

[lost juniper]

Nothing like doing solos out of spite to prove others wrong

[worthy horizon]

frfr

[raven crane]

Forty wins is top 1,000?

People really are saying "fuck this Gauntlet" huh.

[wicked tusk]

40 wins is a lot

[raven crane]

Is it?

I guess maybe for this point in time.

[wicked tusk]

For this LG yeah

[pearl beacon]

Exams, summer and also I think some can't keep up with the content
I'm doing CS on sundays, it's no good

[raven crane]

Felt.

I don't blame people, nor trying to downplay the number, just a bit surprised.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/300730913061601281/1251890871826387035/glaceonyeah.gif

[kind imp]

And 83 wins is leaderboard

It's gonna take a few more days to reach 100

[raven crane]

Now that is a pretty fancy number.

[inner turret]

Fuck this gauntlet

[pearl beacon]

Ye def too low than usual

[sturdy steeple]

both the combination of it being hard and minimal teams to steal from the past = not quite high scores rn

[rotund rain]

Fuck this gauntlet

[inner turret]

and the moment it drops too

[raven crane]

If nobody got me I know saying fuck the Gauntlet got me.

[sturdy steeple]

it doesnt help that a lot of us are also taking our time with it as well

[inner turret]

When does it end already

[pearl beacon]

10d

[raven crane]

27th(?)

[sturdy steeple]

fuck i gotta get back to it

[raven crane]

Haha back to the dungeon.

[inner turret]

surely i'll find the motivation to do my normal streak at some point

[rotund rain]

I still need to get more than 11

[raven crane]

I've been doing the Lodge Morty solo for like 4 days, lazy.

[rotund rain]

But maybe I’ll try going for 50 and use the teams as a suggestion next time an identical rotation happens

[pearl beacon]

Do it for the

[raven crane]

Alright back to the Morty gulag. Wee.

[kind imp]

I just need more 14 clears and then I'll have a whole week to try to do a solo for the 100th win

[rotund rain]

Only 39 clears to go for me, but I can find some teams I can try

Although both my last Uxie (I skipped the one back in December for IRL reasons) and Regirock LG teams are so bad

[raven crane]

Maybe I should've tried this Gauntlet season, could've easily gone for 100 wins. Ah well..

[pearl beacon]

The good thing is that leaderboard is more accessible for those who missed top title
me high streaking multiple times when medals were not introduced

[raven crane]

Happy for those people.

Get that satisfaction.

[pearl beacon]

Def not me, i'm barely at 20
