Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)

[mint osprey]

Man, I need to start doing this

[worthy horizon]

no way this actually works but...

[sturdy dune]

Tbh both. I have very poor luck with cookies 😅

Ooo ok I can for sure do Lucian and possibly may and Serena as well depending on move level

[river cliff]

Not too bad

Would've been super free if I hadn't missed the queue after the max move

[worthy horizon]

grid?

[river cliff]

I had headstrong but it ended up not mattering. You can drop the sync node if you don't have the energy. Rush to first sync asap for the defense buffs and wait for him to spend his gauge before using the second sync

[worthy horizon]

sick ty

i only made it to bar 2 10% on my attempt

[robust nymph]

Courtney goes to Terrakion I assume?

Even though her zone is a double edged sword

[worthy horizon]

i haven't seen any courtney teams for terrakion iirc

[river cliff]

I might run tech alolan persian with her or something. Nanu could also be good

[worthy horizon]

i assume if it actually worked we'd have seen courtney/tech sprig on terrak

[river cliff]

I'm sure it would work in theory but you'd have to nail pretty much every flinch from bar 2 on

And have great mgr luck

[quaint tartan]

Actually is better to nuke bar 2 at entry bc it’s more special oriented while bar 3 is mixed so Courtney might handle some physical moves

But I haven’t tried it myself

[river cliff]

You'd probably want to prevent any bulldozes from going off as well

[sturdy dune]

Very nice! With Kabutops still alive too!

[river cliff]

Kabutops is a good boy

[worthy horizon]

getting there

strategy is ending up quite different at no overcap

[fading anvil]

The third bar gets a bit tough. But finally an easier win. Vigilance is required or nobody survives the transitions. A keeper?

[river cliff]

My overcap was spent on headstrong so it shouldn't differ too much

[worthy horizon]

the grid you gave was -5 and didn't have headstrong on it so i was thinking you were +10

got it but i didn't record it so running it back lol

[river cliff]

Yeah I just saved that as the grid I'll use for the future. I swapped the energy from headstrong to the sync node to make finishing the last bar in one shot possible

[worthy horizon]

ah

[bitter gate]

I have reached the apathy stage of teambuilding

1/5 2/5, with steven not being exed or w/e

[young forge]

This seems overkill - SS Morty and Silver or SS red can duo; both seems unnecessary

[kind imp]

they were struggling with both duos so they did a trio

[river cliff]

O hey I did that same clear

Alright now that I'm finally doing the SS Misty + Quaxly clear, how exactly do you get Quaxly to survive the bar 3 earthquake?

[fading anvil]

Only way SS Red works is if opponent sync can be skipped. Damage wasn't fast enough to do that as a duo. At least I couldn't.

[karmic willow]

FUUUUCK

I HATE TERRAKION

3% GODDAMMIT

one mistake you DIE

[median swan]

was planning this too, thanks for confirming it works

[karmic willow]

great

no sunny day mpr

for the 10th time

this game treats me like shit

[worthy horizon]

i have a video up too but it ended up very different https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRuzPjxsKf4

grids

thought it might be too skill gear reliant but my bandanna didn't even apply to paulo so there's -30 hp

[bitter gate]

what are people throwing sawyer at

[worthy horizon]

everything and failing at it

[bitter gate]

Huh. Really?

[worthy horizon]

basically

[bitter gate]

Hmmm.

I'm struggling with Regirock teams still at I'm at 98/170

[worthy horizon]

he's not a great tank at all

[river cliff]

I used him in a trio with sc steven and tate to beat Terrakion

[chrome halo]

iirc there is a duo with him and 1/5 Marnie on Uxie?

[worthy horizon]

yeah tate fits sawyer quite nicely so it's nice to see them reach some success somewhere

[bitter gate]

I think Nanu + Sawyer can clear Regirock

I need to test it but I'm sobbing over my ratio atm lmao

[worthy horizon]

last thing i tried with sawyer was blaine for uxie but i needed a better tank than that so i went with ex tl elesa

[karmic willow]

AGAINNNN

NO FUCKING SUNNY DAY MPR

Good flinch chain? no suny day

every hit hurts

stupid terrakion

two hours with SS Erika

can't do shit

ah right

no flinch in 2 different stomps back to back

ah right

TWO PERCENT IN BAR 1

EVEN WITH GEAR AND WW3

[robust nymph]

yeah i've been trying the ss erika + tech sprig on and off

got very close on my very first attempt but no sunny day MPR

[karmic willow]

i fucking hate this game

it's like

the amount of time you put in

and what you get

does not add up

[robust nymph]

sometimes i question why the heck i persevered through flinch duos in other LAs but then I remember terrakion is just a menace from bar 1 all the way to the end

[karmic willow]

i'd rather do moltress than this shit

[robust nymph]

give me back Azelf, at least that pixie only hits hard bar 1

[karmic willow]

oh hey

ANOTHER FUCKING PERFECT FLINCH CHAIN

BUT NOPE

Game said fuck you no sunny day

STUPID

and then earth power one shots me

i gave it

ONE OPENING

it fucking kills me

[robust nymph]

[karmic willow]

FUCK FUCK FUCK

like

sun runs out

it takes

Erika

so longgg

to ramp

and then sun runs out

everything runs out

[bitter gate]

Hmm.

That was easy.

[river cliff]

Dang, you did that way differently haha
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta8fkauxI00

[bitter gate]

I had really bad luck here too

[karmic willow]

no vigilance i die from full health

goddamn

[worthy horizon]

yeah definitely another case of me not understanding regirock as well xd

[robust nymph]

any teams for roxanne? this girl can barely take hits thanks to that HP pool

[worthy horizon]

kris sounds weird but the waterfall flinches actually enable a clear

[river cliff]

I used her in a trio with zinnia and tech gyarados on Terrakion

[robust nymph]

[karmic willow]

somehow she can duo with victor ghost

against terrakion

[rocky oasis]

regirock is obnoxious

fuck regi

[karmic willow]

everything is obnoxious

crit shield is anti fun

[rocky oasis]

flinching ever stomp

[karmic willow]

so is having one billion attack on terrakion

and uxie freezing / paralyzing your ass

or just

ignore your 40% confusion

[rocky oasis]

i can respect terrakion but not 30% flinch spam

[karmic willow]

because it JUST had to

[karmic willow]

nah i don't respect anything this time

[rocky oasis]

still beats moltres

[river cliff]

After messing with SS Misty + Quaxly for an hour, I have concluded that I have no idea how this clear works

I guess it needs good skill gear?

[bitter gate]

it needs good skill gear and timing/dodges

it's quite tight overall

[robust nymph]

i can't respect terrakion

[robust nymph]

ah damn, i've used up victor on uxie

[rocky oasis]

my issue is keeping quaxly alive long enough to not die to swift

[river cliff]

I do have +10 energy on my misty to consistently skip bar 1.5. Quaxly just can't survive the bar 3 earthquake so that I can set rain without it expiring

I've been messing around with ground guard on quaxly, but I'm unsure whether it's netting me more health that vigilance

[worthy horizon]

ground guard is a general upgrade to vigilance on terrakion

should be blocking more damage on average

but if it's not on your tank then maybe vigilance is better, ground guard is largely for the earth powers i feel like

[robust nymph]

Another day, another failed sleepchain attempt because Terrakion wakes up early

[river cliff]

The only things hitting quaxly are bulldoze, swift, and the bar 3 earthquake

Although... with +10 energy I wonder if something like this could work and allow me to keep vigilance
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=0&v1=011002013400&s1=5&l1=150&r1=6&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFBggLDhUYHB8iIyUnKi0&v2=0

[worthy horizon]

yeah i'd keep vigi then

[karmic willow]

My first trio

I am NOT fucking around with this asshole any longer

@median swan

Next time

[river cliff]

Sadness

[median swan]

oof i was just saying that someone's probably gonna figure this duo out

i wonder how they did it

[river cliff]

Especially with that rock weakness

[bitter gate]

Which one

[robust nymph]

God I've been looking for ss gladion team on terrakion

what's the strat?

very impressed sylveon lived till the end

[karmic willow]

I have no idea

mannn

lodge giovanni

pisses me off

like

where does he even go

he's super good on regirockj

but

poison

[robust nymph]

uxie basically

last time I paired him with ss ethan but now i'm waiting for ethan's EXR so i can throw him at terrakion

[karmic willow]

ughhhhh

it's so hard

[karmic willow]

The first Fairy Wish was halfway before the first gauge, and the second time was after using Fleur Cannon once at the top of the third gauge.

at this rate

most of my clears are gonna be pivotted to regirock

[river cliff]

This is so depressing

[worthy horizon]

i think i'm reserving every +def support left for regirock

there's way more statusers that i have than that

[robust nymph]

at 70 wins right now

30 more and i'm free from this hell rotation

[karmic willow]

really thinking about this

[gleaming cypress]

me wanting to try certain solos and duos but then realizing the required units either don’t have the necessary move level or grid

and I’m all out on orbs

only at 10 rn

there certainly seems to be alot of options remaining but with the low move levels I’m basically locked out from solos

[river cliff]

Well, I found a better grid that allows Quaxly to consistently survive the entire fight. Now I just need Misty to dodge

[worthy horizon]

you have some latios and bulu solos in there at least

[karmic willow]

anni N has such horrbile dps

[worthy horizon]

nothing for this gauntlet tho

[gleaming cypress]

💀

[worthy horizon]

assuming you could fully grid them

[gleaming cypress]

the 300+ confirmed latios solos in question

[worthy horizon]

morty isn't strictly impossible at 4/5 and neither is shauna on regirock

[robust nymph]

this LG is a hard one, don't feel too pressured to do solos and duos

[gleaming cypress]

I was one of the people at 14 last LG, and I watched helplessly as I fell out of top 10k in the last 2 days of the event with nothing I could do

never again, I told myself

[karmic willow]

ughhhh

[gleaming cypress]

thanks, I’ll try

[karmic willow]

sup lapras

is so harddd to useee

i'll need a super funny freeze

again

[raven crane]

I believe in you.

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

[karmic willow]

Support Lapras let's goooo

Double Freeze First Half bar 1 kinda saved the day

Dodge flint is O L D

hmmm

can 3/5 pal marnie duo with speedmon?

[gleaming cypress]

2% hp clutch

[karmic willow]

and

[inner turret]

Probably

[karmic willow]

why do people do like

darach

crit shield

i mean

doesn't she flat out nuke bar 2?

[karmic willow]

FINALLY

got the ss hilbert and erika duo

[hallow gull]

1/5 SS Hilbert?

[karmic willow]

nawr

1/5 cannot nuke it

3/5

at minimum

throw in exr so your nuke is better

and he gets +60 hp

leggo

[median swan]

on regi yes (and probably on terrak too)

[karmic willow]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=000800011400&s0=3&l0=140&r0=5&p0=0&a0=17041601&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFBggLDQ8TFRcYGRwdHiMlJygr&v1=002001064900&s1=3&l1=140&r1=6&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFCREeJikrLTAzNA&v2=0

[karmic willow]

yeah

but nah

i need more regirock clears

too many terrak clears already

god it's so hard to be efficient

[median swan]

i need more easy breezy duos

[hallow gull]

Ob yeah, SS Hilbert doesn’t hit SE for anyboss this LG

[karmic willow]

same

that's why

marnie is going STRAIGHT

to Regirock

i need

more clearssss

[karmic willow]

@sturdy steeple pal mallow... is it better to solo regirock or just let her cook with ryuki on uxie?

i am still having trouble with optimizing 😦

[sturdy steeple]

I used her on regi cause I needed more regi units

• got to actually use Zinnia

[karmic willow]

ooooh right

zinnia i did trio

i guess that's off limits for you

you know

I REALLY wanna put masked royale with someone

but

who

Sawyer?

[rocky oasis]

i have a team w/ ex calem / ex 1/5 sshilbert

[sturdy steeple]

At this point I might make him do a sleepchain

Cause I'm tired of chaining with garbage units

[worthy horizon]

pretty sure he can toxic stall with lodge gladion

this was half ungridded so gladion was +2 defenses lol

[sturdy steeple]

Lodge gladion is so awesome

[worthy horizon]

frfr

[inner turret]

bleh (tech perrserker)

[stuck mantle]

Solo too crazy lucky need be

So duo is more suit

[worthy horizon]

fuckin love larry

[inner turret]

He's fun to use

He's got such a good gauge too, despite spamming a 4 gauge move

[sturdy steeple]

Me realizing Larry is finally a candidate for sprint candies

[inner turret]

tech

not sprint

[sturdy steeple]

Mael he's sprint

[inner turret]

i read candies i thought cake

[sturdy steeple]

Tech Cake for sure tho

[shy sinew]

ah right I was supposed to EX my Larry this week to justify candying to 5/5 but instead did two ghost supports oops 🙊

[errant plume]

Champ Iris already works here, so as long as you don't die from special moves, should be good

[lost juniper]

Gladion has haze anyways so Terrakion's buffs don't mean much

[karmic willow]

Mmmmm

[karmic willow]

Elek

What to do with Fall Iris

You are the iris expert so

Tell me

[karmic willow]

So trueeeeeeee

Imagine losing because of one hit

And your units are just bad

Like i know sleep chain is the place to dump bad units but

Even the "bad" units got uses

[errant plume]

Probably a flincher with her, save Poison Zone for Bar 2 & 3

[pearl beacon]

Fixing butterfree speed looks nice

[lost juniper]

She's slow as hell though. Who even works with her

[errant plume]

Farfetch'd or Alolan Persian, and you spam Acid anyway

[robust nymph]

terrakion keeps waking up in the middle of my chain. like terrakion my dude that's the point of me sleepchaining, pls don't jumpscare me with randomly waking up

[heavy sinew]

vigi saving my ass once again

almost at the halfway mark

this run is arguably worse than my previous gauntlet runs

[karmic willow]

Farfetch it is

Already dumped alolan persian to do sc hilda duo

[heavy sinew]

3/5?

[pearl beacon]

Extra tired bcs of confusion on uxie
Why he just recovers after 2 moves

[heavy sinew]

1 move recover:

[pearl beacon]

Yeah

I keep delaying the confusion timing and always cleanse before sync damn

1

Again

I just... confused at -1 from sync, one move and gone

Game is trolling so hard

[chrome halo]

confusion my beloathed

0/10 worst status change

[bitter gate]

is lodge cheren bugged or something

[karmic willow]

Best partner for

Lodge cheren vs terrakion?

I am thinking fall phoebe

[bitter gate]

60 dark pulses

only 11 of them flinched

lol

[karmic willow]

Tech persian leggo

[bitter gate]

balanced

[karmic willow]

So real

[bitter gate]

i mean, that only works with a fully invested bianca, fwiw

[chrome halo]

you picked Aggr1 on his grid, didn't you?

[bitter gate]

I did

[chrome halo]

[bitter gate]

I was in disbelief at how horrid the rate was

lol

[karmic willow]

@chrome halo make me a team with lodge cheren

Or

At this rate

Might do the solo on regirock

@bitter gate how bad is it

[chrome halo]

i haven't used him yet

[lost juniper]

+10e needed?

[karmic willow]

[heavy sinew]

i dont even have lodge cheren yet lmao

i havent done lodge in liek

weeeks

[pearl beacon]

Just dump interactions, throw gift at 90 and gg

[heavy sinew]

real

[karmic willow]

@sturdy steeple is ss cyrus and bp karen a waste?

Like

On one hand

It's bp karen lmfaoooo

But on the other

Another physical attacker

[sturdy steeple]

you can run like literally ANYTHING with cyrus

[karmic willow]

Yeah i know i am just

Wanting to find

The bottom of the barrel

The absolute wastests of the waste

Or whatever that's called

What is even worse than bp karen

[heavy sinew]

egg

[karmic willow]

Which one

All eggs are

[heavy sinew]

idk any

lol

[karmic willow]

Busy one way or the other

Like

My eggs are important now lmfao

I got the burn

The trap

And a lot of stuff

Eh imma just do candice and glacia before deciding

I have to make progress soon

[pearl beacon]

Supp rapidash

[pearl beacon]

That and Arcanine challenge to be the worst

[karmic willow]

Doing tech

He burns

[karmic willow]

Sup arcanite carried my rei duo lmfao i am not disrespecting him

[pearl beacon]

10% flinch 📈

[chrome halo]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-jam-stonks-stonk-jam-head-shot-hans-gif-21157324

[heavy sinew]

is candice weak to rock or fire

[chrome halo]

Fire

[lost juniper]

I'd use her on Terra

[pearl beacon]

Why... I ran Phoebe Moylane on LG7
And forgot it
Idk what to slap with him now

[lost juniper]

She needs hail to sync anyways

[heavy sinew]

any other caitlin teams that dont have espeon

[pearl beacon]

Elaine solo, Terrakion or Regi?

[chrome halo]

Regi for less painful experience

[chrome halo]

Bianca and Caitlin

[pearl beacon]

I guess there isn't much choice

[river cliff]

I'm considering doing Caitlin with my 2/5 anni May, but then I'm actually just not using my gauge and that feels kind of bad

[chrome halo]

Caitlin solo on Regi then

[robust nymph]

i've been trying this for DAYS

i kept getting gauge issues or didn't land my flinches

what grid are you running on bianca?

[tender horizon]

I did Strike Rapidash

[river cliff]

Omg finally

Had to use this janky grid to do it consistently
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=0&v1=011002013400&s1=5&l1=150&r1=6&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFCw4RFRgcHyEjJScqLS4&v2=091220&s2=1&l2=140&r2=5&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=44&n2=3&f2=20

[bitter gate]

hugh duo against regirock is hell

wut

either you don't flinch ID or miss crit

lol

[robust nymph]

man this looks like hell

what do you recommend to add as a third?

[karmic willow]

Just charge

It's ez

I twoshot it with raticate sup

[stuck mantle]

Pain is this lg 🤣

Dena sure dont like us

Why it must be regirock

And terrakion

In same lok

[lost juniper]

I tried to lower some Dojo Gloria solos now that I have her 3/5, but I decided to just EX her instead so I'd get better damage ranges

[tender horizon]

Change Supp quax to tech gyaradis

[robust nymph]

also, when do you use haze

only right before misty syncs?

[sturdy steeple]

immediately, and at the start of each bar

[karmic willow]

A S A P

dude buffs at the start

so

[river cliff]

Yeah. Fortunately, if you're a crazy person like me who's invested +8-10 energy into her, a lot of the rng fishing for stat boosts off of her status moves can be removed and all you really need is a haze mp refresh and good dodges

I even messed up and ended up getting hit by a sync on bar 2 and still managed to win

[chrome halo]

Haze MPR

sorry i failed on this step

[river cliff]

At least it's the first step

[wicked tusk]

could someone recommened a good support for my SS Lana vs Terrakion

[river cliff]

Probably a flincher

[shy sinew]

I ran Lorelei but a flincher probably works just as well

[karmic willow]

bianca is nice

[karmic willow]

flinch

she killls things too fast

real talk tho

is bp karen worth anything this time

@median swan

[robust nymph]

finally got another support candy

should i or should i not candy ss acerola to 3/5 to make life easier

[wicked tusk]

maybe my grid is wrong

[tender horizon]

Cant stop optimizing hais

This try took a long time

[kind imp]

relatable

but i'm getting better, managed to overkill a good amount this lg

[robust nymph]

argh, no ball guy

and only 1/5 uninvested petrel for me

[pearl beacon]

Slowly proceeding with cheap comps

[chrome halo]

Tate????

[wicked tusk]

and ball guy

[chrome halo]

is 2/5 Buy Gall necessary?

[wicked tusk]

looks like 3/5

oh it's 2

[pearl beacon]

Kinda ye, team randomized help Tate to build up (you just double those stats with tm)
And 2/5 got Acumen+Stoic9 on clear smog

*btw Skip did it with 1/5

[shy sinew]

Does the SS Korrina Regirock solo improve a lot at 2/5? I got my second copy en route to Argenta (read: pity) and not really sure what else to do with a 2/5 other than good damage on Uxie

I feel like in theory the answer is yes because of TM MPR but the 1/5 difficulty scared me enough to not even try it

[tender horizon]

I believe not

Oh wait, no terrain

Nevermind

[quaint tartan]

I love the “en route” explaination

Imma steal it and use it when I’m whaling for something

[shy sinew]

look I also got 6/5 SS Lana in the same multi so yeah it was whaling

[pearl beacon]

She's EX?
You can duo with a para eggo quite easily

[shy sinew]

Is bar 2 just nonthreatening to her then?

or do you sync through that?

[pearl beacon]

Fortuitous give you time to qq sync

So you can skip bar2

[shy sinew]

that sounds fun then, she’s 150 as well so I’ll just do that with egg Lickitung or something

[drifting talon]

I have 3 5* BP tickets, who would work best for this LG?

[karmic willow]

all

and buff them gradually

[drifting talon]

I already have Evelyn and Cobalion

[karmic willow]

but

on surface level

1/5 Registeel can carry Solgaleo

to victory on uxie

[drifting talon]

Oh, wouldn't Solgaleo be better on Regirock?

[karmic willow]

yes.... and no

solgaleo is a steel type yes but

keep in mind he has the ability to pierce passives

so

extremely good on uxie's restrictions

him being weak to ground is the only thing holding him back from terrrakion fights

[chrome halo]

Regice, Registeel and Mesprit

[drifting talon]

Ohhhh yeah

[chrome halo]

highly recommend 2/5 Mesprit

[drifting talon]

Alright!

[karmic willow]

same

mespririt can even

carry something like bp marnie to victory

against uxie

despite her weakness to psychic

[river cliff]

Though Dana and Registeel have pretty awesome 3/5 grids

[karmic willow]

mmmm

Masked Royale

and Sawyer on rock

cooked or not?

@thick dawn @median swan

i mean you ARE losing an attack debuff but

[dawn plume]

@sturdy steeple how did you do eve sleepchain

does she just have to dodge a few moves for speed buffs

[sturdy steeple]

Yes

[dawn plume]

hhh

i will try

[sturdy steeple]

Unfortunately she does

[karmic willow]

ft2

for the trolls

[robust nymph]

Any team for a 1/5 Raihan

Struggling to fit him anywhere

[shy sinew]

would he just need a speed buffer to get him through Regirock at 1/5?

[chrome halo]

Yeah, like Rachel

[shy sinew]

oh yeah trope did that duo at 2/5 EX Raihan

[robust nymph]

I've used up Rachel

Do you still need healing? I assume so

[karmic willow]

yeah... but not really?

i mean

regen works

no need for BEEG pot heals

[robust nymph]

I see i see

[heavy sinew]

1/5 Raihan has use?

[dawn plume]

nvm this sucks big doodoo

[scenic bolt]

[dawn plume]

better to just use a gauge efficient sleeper

or (insane concept) add a third

[lost juniper]

20/20 stats may be needed

[drifting talon]

What sort of grid for akari should I use for Terrakion? I saw someone was able to do it with Akari, Grimsley and Egg Machamp but I don't know what kind of grid, which tactics order to do, or how I should play

[dawn plume]

i aint 20/20ing eve so ggs to that

[tender horizon]

Me taking all my Uxie units to Terrakion

[dawn plume]

ss cyrus + literally anything good terrakion clear

had egg arcanine sit there and die so cyrus could safely put up the zone

field exr soon

[river cliff]

Support Seadra + a meat shield should work

[robust nymph]

[karmic willow]

Ugh

SPLAT

Glacia's explosion dealt 10%

Follow through means

My nukes will never fail me

3 sync buffs at minimal before any form of one shotting

So

2 syncs from glacia

Ft2 i went on candice

Bc bulldoze

Huhs

So silver is not weak to rock

Still frail af tho

[tender horizon]

Whats ur Silver team

[karmic willow]

This is mismagius

[karmic willow]

Funny you asked

Because that is my answer

Speed is absolute shit early game

Ft3 is a scam

I ran it AND ft2

Just to get it going

Sacred fire for the win

[dawn plume]

only at 46 im moving to trios i dont have the energy for this

[karmic willow]

Greaat

No goddamed mpr from ethan

Fucking ethn

Useless typhlosion cannot burn after THREE sync rotations

[quaint tartan]

73 and already done trios, time is running out

[karmic willow]

30% my ass

[sharp lichen]

This overkill at all?

[karmic willow]

Fuck this crit not hitting so i take an extra 30%

Fuck this lack of mpr

Fuck

Uxie

[karmic willow]

Overkill tbh

Like

You already have a gimmick breaker

So adding zone is just....

Everyim

Wow

Just wow

[rocky oasis]

for anyone using 1/5 ariana... reset for a poison w/o trap at the start of bar 1

[karmic willow]

Evasion is a fucking scam

Why is ethan such a bad pair

Even the Charizard burns more

Loke

FIVE RUNS

[rocky oasis]

any good nate teams?

[karmic willow]

In a row

[karmic willow]

Solo regirock

Because that is apparently a thing now

I think i need to log off

This game has seriously hurt me mentally

[raven crane]

That’s a good idea.

[karmic willow]

10%

Fucking

Zen headbutt

Flinched

At fucking +6 evasion

FUCK

AND IT HAPPENED TWICE ALREADY

One fucking hour of NOTHING

[rocky oasis]

puyo is a madman

[olive swift]

For UXIE?!

[rocky oasis]

like wow

[rocky oasis]

yes

[olive swift]

Oh ok

I'm trying rn

[rocky oasis]

you can probably go cheaper than misty btw

[olive swift]

My Ariana is 2/5

[rocky oasis]

just gotta reset for no trap

like a 25% chance

[olive swift]

Why

[rocky oasis]

uxie gains trap resistance

at least 1/5 cant kill bar 1 fast enough

idk about 2/5

[shy sinew]

not me forgetting trap recovery happens naturally

[karmic willow]

Fuck ethan

[rocky oasis]

ethan hits like a wet noodle

[river cliff]

What grid are you running on him? I was thinking of trying this clear soon

[karmic willow]

Don't even fucking think about that

Shitty ass flamethrower

Can't do shit

I am ONE step away from throwing my phone awat

Do not ask me about that

[river cliff]

Though I might try sandslash if it's too problematic, but I'm a sucker for theme skills

[karmic willow]

Sandslash does absolutley nothing

The dodges?

[river cliff]

Debuff accuracy?

[karmic willow]

Nah

This shit does not work

A scam is still a scam

[river cliff]

Well not with that attitude

[karmic willow]

You will get hit

By iron tails

[karmic willow]

Try almost an hour and a half of trying

See how it goes

Look i am incredibly salty right now and I hate this game

[river cliff]

I spent almost 3 on misty quaxly, I'll take it

Over an hour getting Fuecoco Leon to work

[true tartan]

no one has been able to "update" the clear on H Viola, right?

[pearl beacon]

Viola Ramos?

Or the solo?

[karmic willow]

And of courseb

Bea misses her crit

I am deathly allergic to not having soften up or follow through

[pearl beacon]

Why half of my steel units have para or whatev

[true tartan]

the solo on Uxie

[karmic willow]

This game keeps violating like

My sense of skill

[river cliff]

Where's a good place to stick Eve if I'm not soloing?

[karmic willow]

Anywhere

Except regirock

Because he said screw all your debuffs

So

[rocky oasis]

eve uxie duos are obnoxious

[karmic willow]

Either terrakion sleepchain

Or

[rocky oasis]

1/10 dont recommend

[karmic willow]

Duo

On uxie

I mean with synchro healing

It is not bad since you will eventually outheal but

You know what

Screw terrakion

Debuff him to oblivion for me

Do NOT let that monster get any chance to play

It moves you die

[river cliff]

Biggest problem I have is there are no obvious good partners

I guess a flincher could maybe work

[lost juniper]

Debuffs are best on Terrakion

It makes him hit much less hard, but she hates fighting moves

[heavy sinew]

is sawyer 2/5 SS N on terra worth?

or nah?

[young forge]

Does this duo just rely on dodge luck / debuff luck? Not sure when the best timing is for Rika sync or B-mud slap, given that it also powers up Terrakion’s spread moves

[dawn plume]

i tried this duo but it wasnt working

relying on triage tank while also using an accuracy debuffer is a little counterintuitive

i did 1/5 exr rika and 1/5 ex f roxanne instead

[karmic willow]

One of the few times cs2 is actually a good LS to have

[rocky oasis]

congrats

i assume the extra 2 debuffs and +2 atk help a bit

[lost juniper]

How does Dawn + Leafeon works

[dawn plume]

leafeon needs to be maxed out

iirc

[lost juniper]

It does? Like 5* 20/20

[dawn plume]

at least 5 star

ik skippingmud had it 20/20 and it barely cleared

[lost juniper]

Oh yikes

But I guess 5* without 20/20 is fine

[rocky oasis]

rip i aint investing that much into a eggmon

[karmic willow]

@sturdy steeple eyyyyy

I did it

[dawn plume]

i was trying this but it sucks

[karmic willow]

How bad is elaine solo on terrakion again?

[pearl beacon]

Ooof so fkn tired of Terra oneshooting everything cheap

Rip slowbro ssLana, I'm not doing that w 2/5 Lana

[lost juniper]

Not too awful until Bar 3, then pray for as many flinches and misses as possible

[karmic willow]

then

how about

regirock?

[lost juniper]

Regirock should be so much easier

[karmic willow]

any use for

kali this time?

i am seriously thinking about

letting her duo with my SS Piers

[pearl beacon]

More painful than it looks
Every single rock smash proc 📉

[pearl beacon]

I spotted a nice Kali TL Lillie on terra, around here

This

From Madman

[river cliff]

I've been putting off all my sleep clears for a while, I'm really not looking forward to them

[lost juniper]

Yeah I did it now. Special moves sucks a lot

[pearl beacon]

Wasted a 2/5 ssMorty run, now I'm tired

Flint being Flint with max acc grid

note for myself go with fire punch

[dawn plume]

95%

very cool

[river cliff]

Well that was terrifying. Double full para, charizard had to finish off the 1%

[karmic willow]

Lucky

Screw the solo

[river cliff]

I didn't even mess with that one

Who have people been using with Caitlin? I was thinking lodge Cheren looks like he'd work pretty well

[worthy horizon]

tech venu but i know i'm not going to run out of sleepers before 100

do flinchers even work with her

i'm actually not 100% sure

wasn't as free with a sleeper was lucian was

[median swan]

with enough cat cure luck she can do it with espeon

[sharp lichen]

Where should I use OG Adaman?

Terrakion?

[lost juniper]

Probably yeah, but the solo sucks

[worthy horizon]

didn't seem too rng-reliant to me so idk where people were struggling tbh, did it pre-gauntlet and in gauntlet without much trouble

[karmic willow]

@sturdy steeple oooh oooh ahhh ahhh clear 🦍🦍🦍🦍

131 clears done

[sturdy steeple]

aint it annoying

[karmic willow]

Just need a crap ton of

Regirock clears left

I am literally out of stock

Rn

Like

Yeah only a few random ideas left

[karmic willow]

Still thinking about that masked Royale and Sawyer clear on rock tbh

And yes

Fall cait and nanu

[lost juniper]

How you did it?

[worthy horizon]

just followed the solo video

3/5 150 EX ground guard and good skill gear

though i don't think vigilance is much worse

just played out nearly identical to the video

[heavy sinew]

Thats a thing?

[worthy horizon]

if it's not already a thing idk if that works

and if it is i'm surprised it does

[young forge]

Do you think that EX lodge may would significantly help me with the Lodge May / SS Kris 2/5 EX duo against Terrakion? I have more Resources to EX than use a support Candy

[pearl beacon]

Not worth overall imo

[worthy horizon]

idk how the duo with 2/5 kris plays out but if may is having trouble surviving then yes

if not it might not be a big deal

[lost juniper]

It helps but not necessary

What's important are the flinches

[pearl beacon]

Damage wise is just 20 spatk
It's more abt bulkyness

[worthy horizon]

yea

[sturdy steeple]

id rather you just use a different unit besides tlmay to do the duo

[young forge]

Yes, my big problem is Lodge May dying to spread moves. But maybe I’ll just either use a support Candy or switch to Lodge Silver and call it a day

Im having the same dilemma with my 2/5 EXR SS Morty

[sturdy steeple]

silver is a good choice as using him vs regirock demands a decent support anyways if hes not ex

[heavy sinew]

Struggling to find regi teams

it had to be this way

[dawn plume]

me 2

whenever i have regirock left to beat i just

put my phone away

i dont wanna deal w it

[river cliff]

That's me with Terrakion just because he sucks no matter who you bring

[dawn plume]

i still have sleepchains and stuff to do on terrakion

just gotta actually do them

[river cliff]

Same, I've done exactly 0

[dawn plume]

luri did 66 solos gah damn

if only they got 1 more rotation

[shy sinew]

I've been procrastinating on doing the sleepchains because I'm scared of the time commitment for bar 3

[sharp lichen]

Where should I use a 3/5 EXR Elaine?

[pearl beacon]

Regi is an easy clear

Terrakion, worth a try

[shy sinew]

What's the standard partner for SS Morty nowadays? I want to say SS Red but could be wrong

[worthy horizon]

silver and ss red are both good

i think ss red has less potential duo partners even at exr so you might prefer that pairing for that purpose

[shy sinew]

I'm also leaning that because 4/5 SS Red (somehow) so I get the Standfast 9 tile now

Silver can probably go with a decent support on Terrakion this time

[worthy horizon]

just did ramos/silver on terrakion

[heavy sinew]

3/5 SS Red with a 3/5 exr SS Morty is too much, no?

For terra?

[worthy horizon]

ss red has rock weak

i did ss red/evelyn (3/5) on uxie

[pearl beacon]

3/5 ssMorty can sustain stuff like Flint
If lower, go with ssRed

[heavy sinew]

Evelyn with red, I thought Blaine was the standard

[pearl beacon]

On Terra evBlue is not an option

[heavy sinew]

Bro dies

[worthy horizon]

yeah evelyn/blaine would be really easy but again ss red has less potential partners so idk how else you're using him

[heavy sinew]

Would it work with 1/5 Evelyn

Or nah

[worthy horizon]

makes using blaine a pain though bc supporting him is actually not easy

not sure

evelyn went down to 4% in my run so you might want to stick with blaine at 1/5

with first aid 4 gridded

you can def try anyway

[heavy sinew]

pain

agony even

[shy sinew]

I just stuck with SS Red, more in the mood for easy than optimal even though my SS Morty can definitely sustain worse

[young forge]

Silver can sleep chain? What does he have besides Fast Track on grid?

[worthy horizon]

not much strict sleep chaining but having weather gets things over with quickly

and i'm bad at sleep chaining so it works for me

[young forge]

Who tanked, silver or Ramos?

[worthy horizon]

ramos has healing sun, give him vigilance and he tanks

silver can run cs2 or ww3

i used this but you should trade bullet seed mgr for speeding sun

or that's what i'd do next time

[young forge]

Oh Solar beam, not Overheat?

[worthy horizon]

yeah better gauge and no need to run dauntless

does plenty

skippingmud did it with 4* ramos

[median swan]

that would've made it easier yeah, was hungry for gauge at the start

but dunno if it's worth losing a potential skill proc to make the chain easier

[worthy horizon]

ah yeah i barely made use of bullet seed iirc

[median swan]

oh it was just solar beam - sleep powder for you?

[mint osprey]

I assume you can spam Sleep with Ramos to accelerate the sync

While also getting more heals

[median swan]

i was doing solar beam - bullet seed - solar beam - sleep powder for a pseudo-chain

but then again it failed a couple of times so maybe just spamming sleep is better lol

[worthy horizon]

yeah i largely just spammed sleep powder in between solar beams

[heavy sinew]

where did y'all use anni N

[worthy horizon]

was rewatching to be sure

went with marlon for terrakion

just nukes every bar after first sync

[median swan]

did the same tho it did lock me out of that kris marlon duo haha

but think a terrak partner for a flinchless duo is just as important of a role for marlon

[worthy horizon]

it's probably a pretty flexible spot

i just thought marlon would be the cheapest

plus unova theme for skill gear purposes

[median swan]

yeah and for the passive too

think it's a smart duo for sure

[pearl beacon]

You'll burn gauge too fast

[heavy sinew]

almost got it but idk if it's worth

[heavy sinew]

Got it

[sturdy steeple]

thats awesome

[heavy sinew]

did not expect for it to work

But got rafa'd in bar 2

somehow game decided to be generous and give me enough sleep to transition to bar 3 and keep sleep

Which was kinda gaming

Anyways 51

I'm struggling out here

[river cliff]

Probably as good as 1/5 SS N is going to get for me

[heavy sinew]

Red?

Anabel

Snorlax?

[river cliff]

Snorlax

Figured a slow flincher would work with someone who uses zero gauge

[heavy sinew]

I forgot who I used

oh yeah tech zam

2/5 tho

[pearl beacon]

Noice I was unsure, premise was to get down Terrakion w that
But then terrakion is menacing

[river cliff]

I had to use alakazam to patch up my 2/5 nc leaf

Took like 7 syncs to get through bar 1

[heavy sinew]

i need more regirock than terrakion

so I figured it was the play

terrak is definitely viable but you have to lock in for the chains

[pearl beacon]

And fail once-> ded

[heavy sinew]

yep

That's why I'm scared of doing chains on terrak

was hesitant on doing chains for lodge n with Jessie

Even if it's SE

terrak just hits like a truck

[pearl beacon]

I almost did the og korrina ramos, 30% left he broke
When he qq focus blast he broke free instantly

[heavy sinew]

damn man

terrified of that

[pearl beacon]

Was kinda, 20 min in? Lol

[river cliff]

I should really get around to Exing lodge N

[heavy sinew]

20????

Insane

[heavy sinew]

Yea it makes life a whole lot easier

Mines was not EX'd for a long time

I think last LG I made the choice to do so

[pearl beacon]

Nanah, condemned to sleepchains

[worthy horizon]

yeah i really should ex lodge n and lodge serena

[pearl beacon]

I have Serena in my list but ehhhh

Anni scares me, all those EX locked units

[worthy horizon]

non-ex is hampering her terrakion compositions very severely

[pearl beacon]

Ye TL Serena EX is huge overall

[worthy horizon]

i'm right at the point of using her with 5/5 lucas but i couldn't commit lol

but i'll actually prob have to

[sturdy steeple]

dont do it!!!

[karmic willow]

No

[karmic willow]

Lmfao whyyy

[dawn plume]

copium that they unlock ex for the bp pairs

[worthy horizon]

not doing enough damage to progress with anything else

[dawn plume]

theres no indication they’ll do it

most stressful sleep chain i have ever done

god

heart racing

cuz if u mess up ONCE

its just over

and you need like 11 or 12 syncs

nightmare

[kind imp]

ls on burgh?

[dawn plume]

mgr2

[kind imp]

i think with vigi you can survive a hit or two

[dawn plume]

i def needed the mgr

gauge can get narrow if unlucky with one mgr

so two is a safer bet

he can take a hit or two with vigilance though yeah

if you turned it into a 3 person clear perhaps

butterfree kinda needs burgh for chaining cuz it wants evasiveness debuffs

gotta put fast track on it

annoying

50 is somehow almost top 500. i keep saying im gonna move to trios then i keep not doing it but this time for sure stole that last team from akro nice to use two 1/5 units

[median swan]

so much respect to whoever does burgh-butterfree

[dawn plume]

its soooooo stressful

redlax grid expansion at long last this reset too bad it sucks

turns out picking 4/5 lucas from the 4.5 anni ticket scout was the correct choice

[pearl beacon]

Well done!

I gave it asl shot then terra kept breaking
Gradual healing was my issue but also without that gauge sucks

[dawn plume]

yeah it def took a few attempts

excuse me

[pearl beacon]

Nate solos popping out

[dawn plume]

how

he is rock weak

they said they dodged everything except sync and i'm like yeah i would imagine so

[median swan]

rock dr +45% tbh no idea

[kind imp]

https://fxtwitter.com/puyoteto2/status/1802692847453560918

"but he avoided all moves except B-move." (b-move=sync iirc)

[chrome halo]

no video yet?

[kind imp]

i don't think so

[pearl beacon]

Where gears

[dawn plume]

yeah sync moves are called buddies move or b moves in japan

and buddy moves are called synchro moves

thats not confusing at all

thats why its an S

[pearl beacon]

🇸

I always tought it was a G

Btw insane clear

Hope they"ll drop the video

[strong sand]

This is Blue/Green all over again

[fading anvil]

If I don't want to do the Hop solo, who can I pair him with to make it more tolerable?

[dawn plume]

any physical damage dealer really

preferably with good gauge

or a speed buffer maybe?

[worthy horizon]

hop's damage is good so anything to provide gauge

[bitter gate]

Today is the day I do the Anabel Uxie solo

And then end up doing some Terrakion duo anyway

[fading anvil]

Would SS Misty be good here? Or a waste for not being a physical attacker?

[stuck mantle]

A today is your snorlax day😂

Both get exr

Sadly i have red and elaine so scout for anabel is realy scary.

[bitter gate]

yeah and I have both cakes lol

except I already threw my uhh

red with acerola

which seems to be the new red duo

and then I throw gladion to regirock instead

[stuck mantle]

I use red and gladion on uxie

Standart duo😂

Gladion on regi would be nice but he can change weaknes? After bar 1? On regi

And i have cake for red too from rally ready

[bitter gate]

the point is to change it on bar two after slowly hogging the first bar

I forget what I threw at him as a support, actually

oright, piers

[fading anvil]

So for Terrakion, how is Bertha and Cynthia an overkill team? Cynthia is so weak

[worthy horizon]

at 4/5 cynthia already provides infinite sand so optimally you're using bertha with something else to not waste a sand setter

[fading anvil]

Oh she needs to be 4/5 to be good

[worthy horizon]

yeah

[fading anvil]

So what can I do with a 2/5 Cynthia?

[worthy horizon]

bertha

[fading anvil]

Is 5/5 EX, yes. But what else?

[worthy horizon]

dunno

[fading anvil]

I'll just look for a different team comp

[worthy horizon]

i haven't actually cleared with either yet

[stuck mantle]

Me too

[karmic willow]

nita

can duo terrakion

[stuck mantle]

Cynthia bertha need alot mp on bertha . And low attack from bertha

Nita can solo regirock also😂

Dont now who jp did it and nate but is sure crazy avoid all moves? But how they skipp crit shield?

[bitter gate]

they don't

they just slowly grind it to death

with sharp entry 1

[stuck mantle]

So they got unlimited mp?

[bitter gate]

to chip away at health

in all likelihood, yes

[stuck mantle]

They sure are lucky this is not normal run lol.

[karmic willow]

you do that

along with Nate

[stuck mantle]

I have nita 1/5😂

Sorry

[karmic willow]

just because something can be done doesn't mean it should

[karmic willow]

then don't talk about dumb stuff like that

[stuck mantle]

Nate i never did any solo

You have nita 3/5 not me🤣

Mange fly timinig is too mutch for me🤣

[fading anvil]

Man Terrakion has been the most annoying so far. I'm basically managing one clear of it a day

[quaint tartan]

I’m having more troubles on regirock bc terrakion teams are draining all useful units

[mint osprey]

Sleep chain can be done much much easier if you sneak in another eggmon. It's easy to queue with 3 pairs than 2

[fading anvil]

Maybe that's what it will take to make SS Lusamine work on Terrakion

[true tartan]

so... who's investing

hmmm

hard to picture Anabel getting anyone else...
