Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)

[pearl beacon]

[raven crane]

I got top 500 last season, happy with that.

Especially with how competitive it was.

[worthy horizon]

impervious can manage

[pearl beacon]

Oof so close

Lol that cheren duo

[scenic bolt]

yoooo kabu being good

[pearl beacon]

Almost

[scenic bolt]

why only almost

[sturdy steeple]

im happy seeing everyone do cheren ssgrimsley

[pearl beacon]

More a controversy abt being a PF

He got some stuff

[scenic bolt]

i know lenmay popped in to say hes the worst pf outside of volo

this year i mean

[pearl beacon]

[scenic bolt]

Is he rly that badge

Like he looks strong on paper

[sturdy steeple]

bad for solos

good in a team with a trapper specifically

[shy sinew]

definitely screams more of fire hs rerun bait

than gauntlet prowess

[scenic bolt]

for sure

[sturdy steeple]

my gauntlet prep

[scenic bolt]

i mean if youraise a type rebuff ur a high score bait

that is to be expected

[sturdy steeple]

its true

[raven crane]

Pokemon Masters try not to make confusing decisions challenge: impossible.

[scenic bolt]

Wdym

[heavy sinew]

wtf cheren viable

[raven crane]

Fire High Score Event rerun is at minimum 3 months away.

Kabu now is just weird.

Unless they plan to just rerun him then.

[scenic bolt]

No it makes sense

Increase fomo

[raven crane]

Applies to a lot of things.

Could've just released a Dark or Ghost specialist.

[scenic bolt]

That’s for next month

[pearl beacon]

Fire is pretty much stacked, not to mention if they drop fire+grass

[raven crane]

I don't think you get what I'm saying.

[shy sinew]

they could, but I see a reason for them to push whatever envelope they did with holiday Sycamore further if that was a good driver for them

[raven crane]

Except Sycamore dropped when the Grass HSE was announced.

[shy sinew]

and if they wanted to release Larry right now Kabu might have just come along for the ride

[raven crane]

Kabu just stows away in Larry's briefcase.

[dawn plume]

yeah i was surprised 40 was enough for how high i am ranked

[worthy horizon]

they threw kabu in to make larry not completely boring lol

[dawn plume]

ppl just not feeling this one

[worthy horizon]

story purposes

[dawn plume]

to use kabu effectively another team slot needs to be a dedicated trapper which kinda sucks

maybe elaine lmao

never dying

[raven crane]

Busy Summer I suppose.

[dawn plume]

yeah i am also trying to just enjoy summer lol

its gonna be in the 90s for the next 3 days though so i will play more while i try not to get cooked alive

(thats >32 celsius)

[raven crane]

Yeah it's hot as shit.

Had to mow and wanted to die.

[kind imp]

We get a few weeks of 40 C° (104F°) on summer here

But we're in winter rn so it's fine (except that week we got 16C, 61F imagine having to use a coat)
(I live in a hot Brazilian state)

[raven crane]

I'll voice your eulogy pal.

[drifting talon]

Should I use NC Red on Terrakion or Regirock? I remember there was an egg glaceon and NC Red clear but I don't remember who it was for

[pearl beacon]

Terra, ppl were using eggo glaceon

Or either a rebuffer but they're worth elsewhere

[scenic bolt]

What if there’s a sucky eggman

You could glue him to it

[worthy horizon]

tech lickitung can work well with providing screech on top of trap

doesn't survive terrakion though

[scenic bolt]

Naisu

[fading anvil]

I'm just about to start on this. Terrakion has never ran in one of these?

[worthy horizon]

correct

[fading anvil]

Darn. I've got so many past Uxie and Regirock teams to reference but now I have to make sure I don't compromise any Terrakion wins.

What's the general rundown of that one? Like, who are the MVPs vs it?

[worthy horizon]

the strongest wtz setters basically

[river cliff]

You can check to see what others have used on their docs

[fading anvil]

oh the pin is useful too

[worthy horizon]

ye

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZISQnvf70Q could be doable without overcap, just nets an ember tile but it is significant

i think this grid with enlightenment 9 could potentially lower investment if you're going to grind a bunch of mprs

[dawn plume]

those fire moves really just do not hurt him huh

sun boosted sacred fire with 1 sync buff does 66 hp or 4% of his total health

[worthy horizon]

somehow moltres heat wave does even through sunscreen, like 20%

entei is just that weak by comparison

and flying guard would get you the farthest through that fight for brave birds but not enough to break bar 1

would be nice if haymaker was in a more convenient position but i'm not sure it would save it anyway

[heavy sinew]

Is Norman on torn possible?

Or has it been done?

[kind imp]

it hasn't been done

dunno if it's possible

[worthy horizon]

i think anything that can para and solo latios can theoretically solo torn

has hostile environment 2 too

[raven crane]

Key word theoretically.

[worthy horizon]

yep

[pearl beacon]

No crit is what may bother him the most

[wicked tusk]

i'm on run 364

[pearl beacon]

Bar3 Torn with raised def is something

[sharp lichen]

Where are yall running OG Leaf? Uxie or Regirock

[worthy horizon]

duoed with eve for terrakion

don't have to deal with either of their solos

[pearl beacon]

Regirock is really easy
Uxie is a potion check

Won with Grass Guard
Noticed I was getting crits but iron tail was destroying regi
Just stack early on while flinching

[sharp lichen]

👍

[worthy horizon]

but yeah if you solo go regirock

just makes slotting eve super easy

if you duo

[sharp lichen]

Regirock solo used to be awful before her expansion

Now it’s a breeze with crit

[raven crane]

Love the irony there.

The boss whos main gimmick is crit nullification became easier when a unit gained the ability to crit.

[kind imp]

the main gimmick is getting crit

but he also has a gimmick to counter this gimmick

[raven crane]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-true-kramer-seinfeld-gif-5503484

[worthy horizon]

every crit lowers defense from both sides

[raven crane]

They should've given Regirock Sharp Entry 3.

[pearl beacon]

I can live with that

[raven crane]

And Piercing Blows.

[pearl beacon]

[raven crane]

https://tenor.com/view/ganondorf-totk-tears-of-the-kingdom-transformation-phase-2-gif-354215154745469388

Your foolish Vigilance is useless.

[worthy horizon]

palmer ub moment

[raven crane]

Two Regi's with Piercing Blows.

[worthy horizon]

i think it's still impossible for what i have lol

[heavy sinew]

Regirock

[kind imp]

i did uxie bc regirock was too easy

now i'm struggling to find regirock teams with a ton of uxie ones

[sharp lichen]

Does the Erika/Lyra duo work for Terrakion?

[worthy horizon]

nah no attack debuffs means terrakion kills them bar 1

uxie gets walled though

[scenic bolt]

Kabu no moltres?

Ain’t no way it’s working on annabel then :p

[worthy horizon]

sadly no

[scenic bolt]

But also that’s a big rip

[worthy horizon]

yeah i'm not trying that anymore lol

[scenic bolt]

You’d think fire guard and fire rebuff would be enough

[worthy horizon]

yeah still not enough regen/flinch/damage output

[scenic bolt]

Is it cuz no trap?

[worthy horizon]

you do get the single trap and i thought moltres would be immune but it's not

[scenic bolt]

[worthy horizon]

kabu just barely makes it past half bar 1

[scenic bolt]

Even with bmove huh

Rough

[worthy horizon]

yeahhhhhhhhh

i think duoing with blaine should manage though with more trap and damage output, has some sync multipliers on there and healing sun

and syncs ignore fire guard

on the bright side he's still more worth attempting solos with than ss morty imo even if he ultimately gets less of them

got latios and entei

and i can see raikou as a possibility

costly on investment to not be super mpr-grindy

[heavy sinew]

made a flow chart for my planning

[worthy horizon]

mpr grinding takes a toll on everyone's sanity and the people that do the most don't last

[dawn plume]

un un un

[rocky oasis]

good enough

[median swan]

considering that too tbh

[rocky oasis]

bar 2 gets wiped

pretty straightforward

[heavy sinew]

I thought that can be used for uxie cause of PB

welp

[pearl beacon]

ssErika is kinda in a bad spot
The hell I have to do w her

[worthy horizon]

it's easier on uxie bc not having to deal with ground weak

[heavy sinew]

yeah that's what I'm saying

so

fair

[kind imp]

on terrak lodge blue if he's not on maxie

[worthy horizon]

and tina/maxie works

i'd recommend using those two pairs

was a struggle to get maxie/lodge blue working in my experience and with tina you don't need to worry about getting flinches bc you can spam down precipice blades more

which you need to to kill terrakion before sun runs out

[pearl beacon]

Best use for phoebe?

[pearl beacon]

Ye bot sure if non EX blue can survive gonna try

Flinch is the way

[pearl beacon]

Yup
Thos round used 1/5 nyWallace w Tina
But also mBlue was proved effective

[kind imp]

i only saw +10 E phoebe+status eggmon on uxie and phoebe+molayne on regi

[pearl beacon]

[heavy sinew]

10 E Phoebe skull emoji

[worthy horizon]

don't think you can get terrakion before sun goes down w/o ex tl blue

[pearl beacon]

Gonna try soon

[dawn plume]

i still love the funny striker phoebe + sc steven 1/5 + para eggmon uxie team

but its probably not optimal

[pearl beacon]

Fmfirst gonna use Phoebe for 5/5 Gloria

[dawn plume]

i should do hilbert and gloria

i have +2 energy on hilbert so he can get x speed mpr and vigilance

i can give him like unflappable

[worthy horizon]

possible you may end up needing healthy healing but you can try unflappable first

you should, really

[pearl beacon]

Ok Gloria Phoebe on regi is quite good, you can use those sweet pmun to bar skip

Really like her grid expansion

[true tartan]

fun to notice that the solo on coba was at 125 lol

[pearl beacon]

Someone is low on ultra buff blends 📉

Also me

[true tartan]

at least Larry has 8 solos now

but he charges too much for it tho

[pearl beacon]

Dang, oh well

[pearl beacon]

Ye, also fighing for sync bcs of synchro healer
Maxie is always great w him but mine is 1/5
Probably using an eggo

[worthy horizon]

i think 5/5 kabu could get bulu too with overwhelm available

only 4/5 needed for overwhelm but 5/5 for first aid

[bitter gate]

only 3?

[gleaming cypress]

[true tartan]

I expected not many solos from him

Raikou should be doable too?

[dawn plume]

larry stole kabu's attack trap tile i swear

cuz deadass what is he doing with that

[rocky oasis]

dumb uxie team

nuke w/ surge and dodge the iron tail

mind games on eusine

[dawn plume]

ex surge haver

[rocky oasis]

lol my quest to ex my entire roster continues

making slow but steady progress

[gleaming cypress]

anyone else noticed this phenomenon in LG

in the first few days, some people climb up to the top spots with mostly full teams of 3 per battle

but after about half of the time has passed, the efficiency players take those top spots with many solo and duo clears

[dawn plume]

yeah it makes sense

a lot of solos and duos are quite difficult

[gleaming cypress]

and while the initially top-ranked players fall out of the very top, they still remain high up

what kind of players are the people in here mostly

the former or the latter

[worthy horizon]

mostly the latter

[gleaming cypress]

good

[dawn plume]

yeah in this channel at least

[worthy horizon]

lot easier to be efficient when there's a bunch of people's stuff to steal from easily hehe

[gleaming cypress]

just wanted to showcase this

[gleaming cypress]

yep

plenty of homework to copy

[dawn plume]

reminds me of the 345 unit latios clear

[kind imp]

ye

it's at the bottom of pins

[gleaming cypress]

at least he beat the area

[dawn plume]

iirc he wanted to use even more units but morty exploded

[gleaming cypress]

is that some kind of record lol

[dawn plume]

probably

[gleaming cypress]

I couldn’t beat that even if I tried ( I don’t have 345 units including eggs)

[worthy horizon]

same

[stuck mantle]

Nice solos:) you see my motivation work realy well:) befor nobody try it haha

3 its not as bad is 1.

If you have 4/5 cloud try uxie. Should be possibel.

[bitter gate]

Lisia variant is doable

pdawn is more useful with something else, probably

[worthy horizon]

tru

[kind imp]

i liked p.dawn + bianca

[bitter gate]

which is probably what I'm gonna do

since my bianca is uninvested

but my pdawn is

im kinda tempted to just uhh

do the wally/may solo

[young forge]

Is Giovanni better for Uxie or Terrakion?

[kind imp]

i've only seen uxie duos for him, with cheryl/mesprit

i guess it's hard to give gio wtz+make him survive

[worthy horizon]

yea

plus ghost typing

makes uxie completely brute force-able (no statuses)

my mesprit duo didn't use confusion status

lucian caitlin and bianca are far better suited to terrakion for psychic types and all of them can do it with an eggmon sleeper/flincher

but if you want an actual damage dealer for terrakion any offensive wtz setter wouid do a better job

[rocky oasis]

might be overkill but I hate terrakion

[gleaming cypress]

having blaine isn’t completely necessary he just makes your life easier since chase is only 2/5

besides he’s pretty useless otherwise

[karmic willow]

Eyyy that's what i used

You can go lower with lodge volo

Fyi

[gleaming cypress]

what’s ur streak if I may ask

[worthy horizon]

i couldn't get cynthia/nita working at 4/5

i feel like i'm just bad though

[karmic willow]

Anyone used

Brendan yet?

[worthy horizon]

yea i used brendan/spring may for regirock

[gleaming cypress]

what’s ur lucky skill for him

I have used him for regirock too

good dps and crits

[rocky oasis]

70

[river cliff]

Did lodge Jasmine + Brendan for Uxie

[rigid hill]

I am really struggling to get uxie clears with flinch or confusion, they just don't last enough times compared to trap before immunity

[river cliff]

You have to try to save trap until you have the damage ready to clear the bar

[rigid hill]

No I'm saying trap is easy to use. Flinch and confuse don't last enough turns of my damage

[bitter gate]

hmm

I can do the Uxie solo with Anabel

on wednesday

but I also wanna see how far removed anabel duo on terrakion is

[river cliff]

Ah yeah, confuse is really inconsistent. Flinch you basically have to queue your move as soon as it's inflicted because that's probably all you're getting

[quaint tartan]

Don’t use flinch

Confusion is kinda random but you should avoid applying it in bar 1 bc if uxie clears it you will struggle clearing bar 2.5 unless you can nuke half bar

[kind imp]

^

The only exception I can think is og Sophocles iirc

But that's bc he nukes and has para

[quaint tartan]

But you cannot set up kekwalk

Bc is with zing zap that can flinch

I mean uxie is the only one requiring interferences so he can get all our confusion/trappers plus rebuff and restrain

And thorton

[worthy horizon]

supporting blaine is so rough without evelyn

[river cliff]

You could make a case for Whitney using flinch as well for her nuke

Very interesting. What grids did you use?

[worthy horizon]

and kabu/blaine didn't work on terrakion so very little could make a blaine duo work there

maybe lodge wally, support with attack debuffs

[river cliff]

You already use Evelyn?

[worthy horizon]

grids

yeah evelyn carries ss red

[kind imp]

I forgot what were the common Blaine duos and when I looked it up I had already used Evelyn

But looking it up I also saw he can duo with 1/5 NY lillie

[chrome halo]

are you adding new clears to your playlists? i don't have much time lately so i want to add your clears at once eventually

[worthy horizon]

all on my sheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1owIvRmjTUM7z25LIGwNWLUdakTBLovJbAYFkcBEUmCA/edit?gid=0#gid=0

[fading anvil]

NC Serena for Terrakion? But what kind of support do I need to make it work?

[kind imp]

the link is showing sp.may+brendan

[worthy horizon]

sec

fixed

[kind imp]

ty

[kind imp]

move level/has role?

she can also go to uxie which is easier, rebuff counters acute senses

[fading anvil]

Ah man, sounds like she has a lot more utility on Uxie. Maybe I'll just use her there instead

[fading anvil]

I'm trying Bianca, Tech Exeggutor and Support Cloyster for Terrakion but even this is proving difficult. Severe speed problems and damage is slow with no crit. Can barely make it to bar 2

[worthy horizon]

that's the grid i used for bianca/tech exeggutor, worked as a duo for me

though i suspect weird recovery would be more helpful than unfort

[fading anvil]

This 40% for stat reduction is basically useless and never procs

Opponent is just gonna have +6 attack anyway

But then for Weird Recovery to be useful, wouldn't I need to rely on Psychic Terrain refreshes?

[worthy horizon]

nope

don't even need to try to milk it just let it happen

[fading anvil]

I'm trying it now. I'm expecting to lose by second bar again

[worthy horizon]

yeah i'm uploading a vid

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-6iIhUnPPU

that's how i handled it

[fading anvil]

Ugh, you gotta tank with her and put Vigilance on? Well, I guess it's better than Critical Strike that's not being used at all here

[worthy horizon]

yeah

[fading anvil]

Plus it looks like it's good to get some spdef drops in there. This last run was lost due to sync doing like 5% when I needed 7%

Game crashed on my winning run

Oh well, it's hard but at least it's reasonably possible

[worthy horizon]

rip

[olive swift]

His bf

Both 1/5, i sob i had to use them together ❤️ 😔

[karmic willow]

@thick dawn i am gonna hate that clay and agatha clear so much aren't i

[tender horizon]

Wtf tht ss grims ome

[bitter gate]

1/5 cob

Unless there's a cheaper method

[rocky oasis]

terrakion sleep chains are miserable

rest of my sleepers are going to regi bc i just dont have the patience or the time anymore

i would know bc i just did 3 of them

why does tl gkoria hit like a wet noodle

[tender horizon]

Such disrespekt to the monke

[heavy sinew]

2/5 ss wally from mix

might be a W if i knew how to use him

but also another W because now i know where to use my sprint cake

[chrome halo]

candy him to 3/5

[robust nymph]

i've been trying this on and off but i just can't get enough potion MPRs to live

[lost juniper]

The double Janine duo on Terrakion is very funny

[heavy sinew]

hard requires EX on BP janine?

[sharp lichen]

Yeah

[heavy sinew]

damn

[lost juniper]

Idk if it requires but you want more dodges if she isn't EX

[sharp lichen]

So easy

[sturdy steeple]

Don't waste registeel with solgaleo vs Regirock!!!!

[robust nymph]

Yeah tbh

[worthy horizon]

toxic stall with evasion and not damage output reliant so nah

[robust nymph]

toxic stall
Evasion

[worthy horizon]

it wasn't too dodge heavy with what i had

[robust nymph]

I've used up og janine, does a venom drench eggmon work?

Ig that requires said eggmon to actually live all the way to bar 3

[worthy horizon]

yeah nah i don't think so

[chrome halo]

guess which venom drench eggmon is weak toGround

[heavy sinew]

omg me

[chrome halo]

you are a Nidoqueen????

[robust nymph]

[lost juniper]

I may use Nidoqueen with Geeta

Not gonna do her solo and it'll allow her to run Vigilance

[worthy horizon]

2/5 geeta solo is not lg viable imo

on terrak

[sturdy steeple]

NOOOO

[dawn plume]

a lot of people did that duo it works surprisingly well

needs a tm mpr from cheren but he actually feels like a unit at 3/5 (somewhat)

[sturdy steeple]

I'm so proud of him

[upper lance]

1/5 Landorus

Move Gauge refresh 2 is quiet crazy

[inner turret]

Cry

[heavy sinew]

PLEAASE tell me thats 1/5 lenora

[inner turret]

It is

[heavy sinew]

not

[gleaming cypress]

solg on the ghost weak area instead of the steel weak area

interesting choice

[inner turret]

I would've won if I queue'd sunsteel strike on half bar

[inner turret]

piercing blows

[heavy sinew]

solgaleo has piercing blows on a move, meaning he can bypass damage reduction gimmicks

[gleaming cypress]

so thats why

ok

time to try myself

[inner turret]

I would've also won if I wasn't a stubborn guy that doesn't want to change his gears

[heavy sinew]

omg me

[lost juniper]

Real

[worthy horizon]

also solgaleo is ground weak so earthquakes from regirock can cause an issue

so it actually gets through uxie easier

[inner turret]

gauge is so bad help

[chrome halo]

Slowgaleo is a thing in 2024? impossible

[inner turret]

when you can't take both mgr yes

The other option is to not pick sync freebie

[lost juniper]

Why would you need sync on Solgaleo

Unless Brainteaser is the DPS one

[inner turret]

it's the dps one

[heavy sinew]

100k exact with kimono grim sync

why does he hit so hard

[inner turret]

1 MGR away

[heavy sinew]

welp

here goes lodge n

[inner turret]

1 MGR away again

wtf

Yay

[heavy sinew]

i cant do it

its way too hard for me

[karmic willow]

Flan?

Dayummmmm

Bar 2 is gonna decimate you

Like the sp.atk moves

Flan is gonna have such a tough timen

[quaint tartan]

Nah, healing sun + syncro healing + lucas can buff spdef with sync

[karmic willow]

Unless

[karmic willow]

Nah we crippling this dude

DO NOT let him cook

[quaint tartan]

Vlucas is rock weak

[karmic willow]

I am not giving terrakion any openings

[quaint tartan]

And this is the second time this thing stresses me lmao

[sturdy steeple]

dont run sync damage multipliers stuff on lucas, sun usually runs out before sync

[karmic willow]

Tbh

Play the long game

[sturdy steeple]

his dps with heat wave will go a longer way

[quaint tartan]

Oh yeah terrakion damage reduction

Right

@sturdy steeple good luckkk

And maybe i will do that clear too

So dang hard to do anything these days smh

Okay

But so many goddamn overlaps

So real

I might just

Let him cook with his brother

On regirock

Sc emmet is literally a crutch for me rn

[karmic willow]

Actually less on regirock

Cuz

Dc9 useless

You are not using everything in a sense

[quaint tartan]

But innate and blind spot to nuke bars

He can still build up relentless

And has Eva to counter regirock

[karmic willow]

Yup

I've no idea where to use Flannery. I used her with Adaman before but he's 3/5 now

[karmic willow]

truly the best girl

[robust nymph]

Any team recs for og lusamine? She can debuff attack which is nice but also i'm not trusting those defenses

[lost juniper]

Maybe Terrakion in a sleep chain?

[robust nymph]

Yeah, i want to use her on terrakion

But with how much terrakion loves to wake up randomly

One mistake and i'm toast

[river cliff]

I used her with BP Barry against Uxie

[karmic willow]

she has endure btw

i think

[pearl beacon]

Works well on uxie, but she's not really reliable plus terrakion already loves to break chains

I'm probably using her to fix a tank solo
Mine is 0/20

[bright brook]

got shiny uxie

[heavy sinew]

shiny cave

[pearl beacon]

For vFalkner below 3/5
It's a fun run

[scenic bolt]

Was he not able to solo it?

Goozma I mean

I recall he had a solo

[pearl beacon]

Guzma 5 EX can solo Regirock

Mine is 0/20

Also is a dodge check run, sure not easy

[scenic bolt]

Ic

[pearl beacon]

And Terrakion is way worse
The run is just for fun because of pin missle always triggering 5 hits, but works and probably can be lowered to Guzma + 1/5 vFalkner (mine is 2/5 but never touched potions)

[worthy horizon]

the solo can easily eat up hours even at max investment

[upper lance]

Any duo for 1/5 SS Lana ?

[sturdy steeple]

A speedy flincher should be good

[rocky oasis]

yes also put vigilance on her

[karmic willow]

Anyone here feeling

Sick of regirock

[heavy sinew]

im sick of all of them tbh

[pearl beacon]

Just Terra
I think we need one clown stage to chill a bit
Uxie isn't that bad at least

[karmic willow]

Finally done with

Kiawe x Roxie

On uxie

And of course

[rocky oasis]

those iron tails tho

oof

[karmic willow]

Stuck at regirock

I will speedrun this mode the moment i get all regirock clears

[rocky oasis]

uxie smacks ethan w/ crit iron tail ignoring my stoic

[worthy horizon]

very annoying to commit pairs to regirock that can antigimmick uxie or terrak

biggest problem rn

[sturdy steeple]

run vigilance ethan and justhope to dodge the iron tails

[karmic willow]

Egg raticate support

Theme skills my beloved

[karmic willow]

Vigilance da best

[karmic willow]

Ss acerola

Pal marnie

Sc selene

Time to try

[sturdy steeple]

aint that hard

[kind imp]

silver, sonia, winona, pbea, ss diantha, geeta, ss silver, sycamore

[karmic willow]

@sturdy steeple saved a flincher i guess kekw

[sturdy steeple]

[karmic willow]

Still

Regirock is pain

Help me

[sturdy steeple]

im too hot to even wanna attempt runs rn

[karmic willow]

But aren't you always hot

[sturdy steeple]

[karmic willow]

But yeah ngl

If phone too hot

Might explode

Yikes

Also damn

I want

A cheap duo with aaron

He is seriously testing my patience

[sturdy steeple]

literally any eggmon

do hitmonlee if you want

[karmic willow]

I think

Hitmontop

[karmic willow]

Lee kicked his way through terrakion with ssa cynthia

Truly

90% acc gambling experience

[karmic willow]

Kinda funny how most eggmons that can debuff like this one is absolutely redundant

[sturdy steeple]

hitmontop works

[karmic willow]

Let's do this

[lost juniper]

Who is good to pair with N & Zekrom?

I have him 5/5 EX so I don't know what isn't overkill

[karmic willow]

Probably

Any defensive support that does not buff crit

Lenora 1/5 works too well

[lost juniper]

My Lenora is 4/5 now

Got 2 copies while I went for Bianca

[pearl beacon]

On who?

[lost juniper]

Uxie likely

[pearl beacon]

Btw bring him gauge

Well then eBugsy or Rosanta are quick solutions

[karmic willow]

Worthhhhhhhhh

@sturdy steeple i am never gonna be strong enough to do the solo

But it"s okay

[sturdy steeple]

its ok

[karmic willow]

also

the fact that

this eggmon has unflappable

just meant that

this is where he blongs

one of my favorites

[raven crane]

Time to do the solo.

[karmic willow]

next time

i am out of time this time

ughhhhhhhhh

Luciannnn

it's so good against terrrakion

but at the same time

so good against uxie

29 whole more teams left

mmm

@sturdy steeple

[sturdy steeple]

helo

[karmic willow]

if my dojo gloria is a tad bit strong

is it better to

let her fight regirock solo

or duo for terrakion

i mena

[sturdy steeple]

depends on what you wanna use her for

[karmic willow]

one lets her use the full kit

the other one just

omegalul kill

[sturdy steeple]

or which stage you need a win on more

[thin ice]

Can i ask smthng about calem's solo agaisnt uxie. Do you brutal swing when you are low in gauge or is there another reason? I know the passive skills change but idk

[karmic willow]

gonna be so hard to do that

[karmic willow]

you kinda wanna

spam it when you need gauge

of course, there is also the rare niche case of

avoid stat reduction

because iron tail

and shadow ball

hooo bot

@sturdy steeple wish me luck with SC lillie

because i am so gonna do the solo

on auto

[sturdy steeple]

do not od that

[lost juniper]

Don't try. Literally took them forever to get it and they needed a ghost zone boosted sync in Bar 2 entry to win

[karmic willow]

does it matter if i like

you know

don't get that?

[lost juniper]

You just need more potions

[karmic willow]

bet

[lost juniper]

But like Bar 2 is hellish

Each facade gonna do so much damage

I honestly think she'll solo Tornadus before someone replicate Uxie successfully

[karmic willow]

alright bet

and i got frozen out of the gate

lmfao

i am only going to do this

once

in my entire career

it's autoing btw

bar 2 already

woo

of course i didn't get the optimal nuke

but

it doesn't matter

[tender horizon]

Alright friends im tossing in the towel early and starting my dive into the abyss of overkill since i dont hv time

[karmic willow]

let's gooo guys

74%

2/2 pots

i'm really feeling it

oh no

58% 1 pot

the bot popped pot too early

[thin ice]

3 years that I am playing the game and I just realized now that 9 is the max Sync buff

i can't

x)

[karmic willow]

lmfao 2 pots

35%

let's gooo

18%

[pearl beacon]

You'll see a 9+ after that, but they keep stacking

[karmic willow]

STILL DOING IT

NOOOOO

FACADE CRIT

AAAAAAA

I HAD 2 POTS LEFT

NO WAY

[pearl beacon]

[karmic willow]

the sc lillie solo incident

[pearl beacon]

Autoing scLillie?

Lol

[karmic willow]

yup

but like

i just checked and

i had half health

next facade

[pearl beacon]

[karmic willow]

would have juuuuust barelyk illled

and then

the crit

welp that's enough reason for me to never touch that again

but like

[lost juniper]

There isn't actually a cap to sync buffs, 9 buffs is just the max shown, but the damage continues to increases without a bound (there's a video where someone reached like 200 buffs and one shotted Moltres with a sync from egg Magikarp: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OBK34XEVlnY)

[karmic willow]

18% it was THIS close

should have played like a wuss and top myself off

[quaint tartan]

Welcome to the club

It’s basically a grab a duo and add a third

[lost juniper]

Understandable

[river cliff]

Aw man, so ridiculously close

Would've had it if sun had lasted just one more turn

[dawn plume]

classic

[karmic willow]

WHAT?

[karmic willow]

fell stinger spam

or you're DONE for

[dawn plume]

butbutbut ramming speed

[karmic willow]

it's either

you die

or it dies

and frankly

terrakion gives 0 crap about you

so do NOT give it ANY chance

[dawn plume]

lesson learned

[pearl beacon]

You touch tweeneedle once, 100% poison

[dawn plume]

should i run this

[river cliff]

Weathered warrior doesn't affect max moves does it?

[pearl beacon]

No

[river cliff]

Hmm

I'm not sure how to eke out that last bit of damage from Leon then

If I could just get Fuecoco to survive long enough to eat the thunder

[karmic willow]

can you get fell stringer mgr

[dawn plume]

i can if i sack bob and weave but his gauge is fine

esp with melony providing regen

[tender horizon]

Terrakion when poisoned: Finally!

[pearl beacon]

1/5 hViola solutions

[tender horizon]

When i say overkill but i cant leave the budgetting mindset behind

[errant plume]

What if I tell you that 3 japanese players did the run ?

[lost juniper]

Well guess I was proven wrong

[heavy sinew]

what do I do with my 1/5 NC cheren

he's kinda there

[lost juniper]

But man these japanese guys making the most insane runs

[dawn plume]

dudeeee i went through bars 1 and 2 without getting hit once but the chain kept dropping randomly bar 3

soooo annoying

[pearl beacon]

Rebuff for bar2 uxie

[dawn plume]

and sync just one shots both

[heavy sinew]

What are you trying

[dawn plume]

melony bugsy

[heavy sinew]

wtf

[pearl beacon]

Bar3 is wild

But you should never touch ice beam if regen is up

It will help the chain

[heavy sinew]

just never touch ice beam

period

do you use twineedle or fell stinger

[tender horizon]

Me telling myself: This game isnt a waste of time

Also me: spending 70 lucky cookies to get VIgilance on Karen over 5 minutes

[pearl beacon]

LS are rigged

[kind imp]

unlucky skills

[dawn plume]

i shouldnt touch ice beam??

i was using ice beam bars 1 and 2 and the chain never broke

is bar 3 just different for some reason

[feral plank]

yeah, whenever you want something it just doesn't exist, but the moment you don't want it in another pair, it pops out the first

[pearl beacon]

Bar3 is just worse
Spamming sing feel more stable on that, I also used ice beam on bar1/2

With no issues

[pearl beacon]

The damn entries, I swear I reroll every single one, twice, before getting what I want

[river cliff]

Turns out it's pretty free if Fuecoco drops vigilance for mind games

[rocky oasis]

being weak to ice punch hurts bp erika so much

[heavy sinew]

Do not let me cook again

1/5 cheren

No investment

just

Existence

[lost juniper]

MC and Pikachu?

I may steal this actually

[river cliff]

Same, I wasn't able to find anyone that was just the right balance between not being too cheap or overkill and this looks spot on

[river cliff]

You tank with Pikachu or Cheren?

[heavy sinew]

Cheren

[heavy sinew]

Yes

Skill gear were for offenses mostly

used a fly on the iron tail

The rest can be used whenever

no b move until bar 2 so gauge is a bit iffy

[river cliff]

I assume mind games on pikachu?

[heavy sinew]

Both vigi

Mind games I think is fine but you probably need more potions

[hearty haven]

regirock my beloathed

[fading anvil]

What can I do to win with Lillie/Lunala on Uxie? I had Support Meowth on this before but I don't have it anymore.

[kind imp]

move level?

[lost juniper]

What move level is she

[fading anvil]

2/5 EXR. Clearly the role cake didn't matter since it's still coming in really close

[lost juniper]

She needs 3/5 for potion mprs, but even with what you have someone like Brock is an easy duo for her

[shy sinew]

I used 1/5 with TL Wally and that felt like very overkill

[fading anvil]

Oh Brock? Not a real support?

[shy sinew]

Brock has a lot of bulk in general

[fading anvil]

Hmm, as long as I won't need him somewhere else

[rocky oasis]

uxie team

[lost juniper]

Brock has potions and is relatively bulky

[sharp lichen]

Nice run!

MC Pikachu coming in clutch

[sharp lichen]

If you get lucky enough with super effective up nexts you don’t need any potion MPRs

If you duo with support starmie

I had an extra potion that was MPR’d even though I didn’t need it

So 2/5 is theoretically possible

[wicked tusk]

I HATE LEGENDARY GAU GAU

[rain pine]

How do you deal with regirock?

Are we supposed to use only support units against him?

[shy sinew]

basically just vigilance on everything including your damage dealers

there’s some chaining of Regirock’s crit walling you can do to get the bar 2 iron defenses to happen back to back and reduce the amount of time spent with crit immunity up, but vigilance is the best way to help with survivability

[worthy horizon]

check pins for a full rundown on the bosses but basically vigilance on almost everything and have lots of defense buffs

[fading anvil]

Should I even have any strike eggmons? Like, are their support and tech versions purely better for this?

[kind imp]

Yes 90% of the time

[pearl beacon]

For this LG pretty much

[worthy horizon]

strike gengar is useful for uxie but idk any other exceptions

strike raichu sometimes

[fading anvil]

Normally I throw some in for spreading damage and speeding up sync. But some may actually be useful

Like, I've had a 1-passive Strike Raticate for years, so that seems like a waste

[pearl beacon]

He can screech then die profit

But you don't want to invest on 1 or 2 passives unless those are extremely limited

The only strikers you can care abt are scyther and raichu
They're overall good and their tech/supp versions aren't that good

[young forge]

Is there some quirk to Terrakion and sleep that I’m not aware of? I’ve been doing Tackle => Silver Wind (Unfortuitous 9) => Sleep Powder => repeat but Terrakion is waking up at odd times (like after sleep powder even before I can use tackle)

[pearl beacon]

Not enough speeeeedderu

[heavy sinew]

Using Hugh is hard

[sturdy steeple]

unfortunately thats just how 2 unit sleepchains work, they can just sometimes fail due to the duration being random

[heavy sinew]

why does his passive activate when I don't want it to

[sturdy steeple]

its managable against other stages, but against terrakion he like one shots you and you gotta bust thru so much DR that its rough

[olive swift]

What is best ss korrina team for this lg

Pls someone help me

[pearl beacon]

Tested that duo but regen is just messing everything up but without that the gauge is miserable

Sure they made butterfree the shittiest sleeper ever

No speed, no troublemaker, Bug Shift tackle

[worthy horizon]

free win with lucian tho

[pearl beacon]

Ye but you usually want to get rid of shitty mons with chains

[wicked tusk]

always check the repo

[worthy horizon]

it's overkill but overkill i'll take

[dawn plume]

bp morty and 1/5 ss korrina on terra 🤔

my question would be when do you spectral theif cuz you only get 3

[heavy sinew]

i guess after each half bar?

no that wouldnt make sense

[wicked tusk]

there are videos attached to each team btw

[heavy sinew]

yes ik how the repo works

[dawn plume]

yeah true

[wicked tusk]

no you don't

[dawn plume]

[wicked tusk]

i'm the only one who understands the repo

truly understands

[pearl beacon]

It's fine depending on goals after all
I mean I'm going to drop the "optimizer" button the last days

[wicked tusk]

same

[young forge]

I also can’t believe this team has gauge issues??? Burgh has +6 Speed and only needs to use a 2 bar move…

[worthy horizon]

i'd spent enough time attempting lucian tech zam and lucian fixes butterfree's gauge

if not for that i might just be using support butterfree lol

[pearl beacon]

I forgot the most important thing, for me

Tech can't be shiny

Also pre evo got no 2nd move

So rip golden caterpie

[chrome halo]

Hot take but i prefer support Caterpie over tech

It's a +6 defense sup

[worthy horizon]

yeah support seems much nicer to use

seems likely i'll end up using it at some point

just can't always pass up the extra sleeper

[pearl beacon]

As long as there's a good stage where to use sleep it's a free win

[heavy sinew]

what egg did you guys use for hugh on regi?

[pearl beacon]

Usually stages aren't Terrakion

Which just break free so damn randomly

[river cliff]

Which Raichu is the play? I'd assume strike but even that seems kind of terrible

[pearl beacon]

Striker, he's fine. Thunder w pieecing gaze can bring some dps

[pearl beacon]

Any speedmon so you can run vigilance for comfort, I have to do it btw, many were just doing the solo

[young forge]

Is there a special strategy to Glacia + Pryce vs Regirock besides Regen MPR and freeze procs in Bar1? For example, are you supposed to spam Glacia in the beginning for Fortuitous procs, or just attack with both Glacia and Pryce as normal?

[kind imp]

i just attacked with both

[worthy horizon]

not much strategy but need some luck

[kind imp]

i guess keeping healthy buffer 5 in mind

[worthy horizon]

that does matter yea

[sturdy steeple]

basically just hope for freezes to preserve as much hp as possible bar 1 and build up fort buffs yeah

[young forge]

Thanks, I was able to beat it. Evasion boosts and healthy buffer make a huge difference. Surprisingly I had gauge issues

[sturdy steeple]

Yeah, pretty slow team unfortunately, but nice work

[bitter gate]

Hmm

Be cooking

[fading anvil]

I see SS Steven could be good for Terrakion. But what could I pair him with? Sleep spammer? Flinch spammer? Or do I need to set a terrain or something?

[pearl beacon]

What are the chances Butterfree is just wrong?
Tried duo with ssHilbert, kept failing
Swapped in venusaur, done first try

Guess it's abt small timings but really wanted the theme skills, oh well

[river cliff]

Who'd be a good partner for 1/5 SS Gladion? I've been trying with Lucy but she doesn't survive the fight

[kind imp]

the only status+interference pairs i remember are lucy, bp erika and tech venemoth

[pearl beacon]

Def lucy isn't surviving much, maybe try with bp barry if yours isn't ex
He got para, attack trap and team ppE2 to fix gladion accuracy
And plenty of gauge if you get catalytic infliction

[river cliff]

Already used him, plus his buffs would be kind of wasted here

I'd imagine Erika probably has less survivability than Lucy

[chrome halo]

Erika still suffers from weakness

Ice Punch moment

[pearl beacon]

Psychic weak vs ice weak

[chrome halo]

1/5 Gladion doesn't have Sync Regen yet so he wants heavier support

[pearl beacon]

Sometimes you have to go if you wanna stick to duos
Or just find a way to Bmove oneshoot bar2

Some para+spdef drop

[heavy sinew]

Sync Regen is 2/5 right?

[median swan]

yeah

[river cliff]

Might have to do a trio then

[fading anvil]

I just can't figure out how to even make a full team work with SS Steven. Attack form can't take a hit. Normal form too weak.

[kind imp]

move level?

[fading anvil]

2/5 EXR

I'm thinking of just slapping him on that Flint + SS Morty duo since that also seems unwinnable.

[river cliff]

I just paired him with a high gauge psychic pair and called it a day

He and 1/5 Lear were able to clear Terrakion without too much trouble

[kind imp]

if you have ss red you could swap flint for him

my ss morty is 1/5 exr and red 2/5 ex so i did that

[fading anvil]

Does this call for Defense form?

[fading anvil]

How does this work though? No SE damage sounds slow and difficult.

[kind imp]

ss red is kinda strong and ss morty is really bulky

[worthy horizon]

ss morty gets through everything with silver or ss red

[river cliff]

Normal form. Gotta abuse the 60% flinch

[fading anvil]

So if I don't want to do that, just bring a flincher?

[fading anvil]

He also gets one-shotted by sync. Am I missing something?

[kind imp]

changed the gears from the last team? morty tm mpr?

worst case reset for more morty tm mprs and/or delay using morty tm 2 turns to try to proc stat's quo 5 on red's tm

[fading anvil]

I only used Morty's TM once under sun after sync. Opponent sync did 900 damage to SS Red

[kind imp]

red buffs it's own crit

so you don't need to delay morty's tm until you use sun

[fading anvil]

okay I'll try that

I don't get it. SSRed takes 830 damage from sync, so not quite dead, but this is also still bar 1

[kind imp]

.

i think my red was just at +2 defense

[fading anvil]

so was mine

[kind imp]

but i also have good skill gears, so you might need more defense buffs

[fading anvil]

2% HP, so I potion. Then I get Earthquaked. Back to 2%. Bar 2 stars and Swift finishes the job.

[kind imp]

i'll record it
Good skill gears, double vigilance, 1 tm mpr from morty, messy gameplay
https://youtu.be/OHBZ_K2WoDg

[fading anvil]

I don't mind adding a third to this. Maybe proper defense or an attack debuffer. Because this looks nowhere close at the moment.

[worthy horizon]

silver doesn't drop his own defense and isn't weak to rock

[rocky oasis]

even w/ ex roxanne sucks

[young forge]

Here I am trying to find a partner for 2/5 SS Gladion EXR..

[rocky oasis]

the tech venomoth duo is pretty finicky

[dawn plume]

i said i was gonna do more clears today since i have free time then i got a whole 1 clear done LOL

maybe this aint my thing

i tried lodge serena and tech lickitung on uxie but it feels impossible

[fading anvil]

man, even Silver/Ho-Oh is just as dead at the start of bar 2 as SSRed was

maybe I'll just put them all on the same team

[dawn plume]

what are you trying

[kind imp]

terrakion

[dawn plume]

terrakions a big vigilance check

if you dont got it you'll get wrecked on bar entries

[fading anvil]

Yeah. Terrakion is giving me the most trouble since he's new to this and I don't have old clears to pull from.

I've never liked having to put on novelty one-off lucky skills just to clear these, but at least the new feature makes it worth considering.

[dawn plume]

you 100% need vigilance

[worthy horizon]

vigilance is probably the farthest thing from novelty one-off

[dawn plume]

vigilance is like

the most important lucky skill in the game lol

having lucky skill slots now means its not even bad idea to have it on reserve for every unit

[fading anvil]

but putting them on strikers

[dawn plume]

still

[fading anvil]

I guess I have to...

[dawn plume]

strikers who die to AOE sure crit moves from legendary arena bosses and stage 10 battle rally stages

strikers need vigilance

[fading anvil]

it's certainly becoming apparent

[young forge]

Is there a way to skip Bar 1.5? SS Gladion takes too much damage from Iron Tail

Then I tried the support igglybuff duo but I couldn’t get past bar 2.5

[rocky oasis]

wait for uxie to use move > B move > Stun spore / body slam > quadqueue fleur cannon

skip the iron tail

[kind imp]

or transition as he syncs and/or right after second sync (power-up punch)

[young forge]

I’ve been confused by this…I got Uxie to bar 1.5 after first sync and then Uxie used Iron Tail instead?

[kind imp]

ye

he uses a move once right after the second sync in each of the bars

bar 1 is power up punch, bar 2 is calm mind, bar 3 is psychic

it's in the LA-in-depth-infos in the solo doc

[young forge]

Oh the second sync

[young forge]

Thanks, this ended up working for me. Was having trouble having enough gauge to attack with Gladion, queue stun spore, and quad queue another attack from Gladion

[rocky oasis]

yeah its kinda finicky

[worthy horizon]

fast track maylene looks usable

don't have support weezing so i'm using kali

still bad

tried with ft2 kali vigilance maylene and double vigi but maylene w/ ft2 and kali w/ vigi actually looks best?

[kind imp]

i just overkilled with roxanne

+6 def and speed

[worthy horizon]

would be quite the luxury

[kind imp]

i just wanted to get 100ish wins so i can afford it

[worthy horizon]

i used roxanne with kris already and i still have few options left

[sturdy dune]

Hey does anyone have auto team reccomendations? I’m not supposed to use my phone more than I absolutely have to but I’m low on lucky cookies

[kind imp]

deluxe or gold cookies?

[young forge]

Is 1/5 Argenta EX + SS Giovanni 2/5 EX an overkill duo vs Regirock?

[kind imp]

to farm deluxes it's better to use multiple teams as they increase their drop rate the bigger the streak
for gold cookies streak doesn't matter, so you focus on a single very fast team

[young forge]

It’s hard to find a good partner for SS Giovanni since he needs both Crit and speed

[kind imp]

i made some auto teams that disregard clearing speed and focus on consistency

https://youtu.be/O5uubox-HRw

and there's this very fast team from reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonMasters/comments/1dgihe0/i_think_i_found_the_fastest_team_to_farm_lg/

[river cliff]

The SS Hilbert + Marley clear was surprisingly pretty easy

I have no idea where to use Paulo. Maybe a duo with Kabutops on Regirock?

[kind imp]

naomi and quaggles did this

[worthy horizon]

sounds like something i'll need to try

my paulo is 3/5 exr so

[river cliff]

Same

[fading anvil]

Apparently Bertha and Cynthia/Garchomp is easy. But I guess if it still takes too many resets, Paulo could help cinch it

[river cliff]

Using 3/5 exr Paulo there would be super overkill
