Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)

[runic idol]

I hate using solgaleo, it always feels like a wet noodle.

[kind imp]

vigilance lucky skill

[runic idol]

think she has that anyway

So the strat is what, TMs and tacklespam bar 1, spam iron tail for subsequent bars, heal as necessary?

[shy sinew]

basically yeah

with leaf solos you can sneak in some iron tails in bar 1 as well, since your sync brings you back to full gauge

[runic idol]

ok

[karmic willow]

yeah

you literally just

iron tail to victory

got it

bp falkner

and

mina

and sylveon

a trio

[lost juniper]

You spam tackles Bar 1 and Iron Tails in the rest of the fight

Leaf can flinch with tackle due to staggering 2 so it's good to stall Bar 1

[karmic willow]

alright

11 supports left

i wish i was Naomi with all her supports like

goddamn

aaand i forgot that

zinniamence has 0 crit

on base

alright

bois

any fall phoebe teams?

like

i know she is strong but

dayum

@sturdy steeple is it a waste to put elaine on regirock?

[sturdy steeple]

she can go anywhere so whoever you need her for !!!

[karmic willow]

i seriously need more regirock clears

and welp

let's do it

and

i regret not doing

Silver + karen

save morty for May

bp morty

silver can handle himself quite well with karen cuz sun synergy

[runic idol]

wow lmao that actually was kinda easy

[worthy horizon]

need a strong gauge supplier, sabrina and rachel have been proven to work

can't have too much gauge with raihan

but like ex marley isn't good enough from what i've tried

[shy sinew]

my assumption was to trio because rachel on her own was not living anywhere near long enough

[worthy horizon]

ah

if you can spare sabrina i highly recommend

[river cliff]

Maybe a trio with support seadra and golem?

[shy sinew]

if I had a seadra I could maybe entertain that

unfortunately I have none of them

[river cliff]

How about magmar

[shy sinew]

my magmar is definitely still available

[river cliff]

Support Magmar + a cheap tank like James or a defense buffing eggmon could work

[shy sinew]

bulk is a worry there but I can get over that in a while once I have a better idea of who I have available for trios

[river cliff]

I might try support Omastar if I can't use the tech's flinching with its awful gauge

[karmic willow]

i think

imma stop at 240

@sturdy steeple hbu?

[sturdy steeple]

230something

[karmic willow]

i swear even

sst red

is gonna go to regirock at this rate

and even NC blue

@sturdy steeple okay but imagine

fall roxanne

and volkner

on terrakion

you have flinch, defense and all the good stuff

i might do that if it leaves me with more uxie wincons

even now fall roxanne is being considered that for me

[river cliff]

I was a big fan of invert's bp clemont + volkner terrakion clear

[karmic willow]

not me

double ground weak

not to mention

no quick crits

and then

both are good on uxie too

especially clemont

[dawn plume]

55 clears and rank 445 😵‍💫

[worthy horizon]

yeah i originally planned that team for uxie but had to try on terrak

[dawn plume]

i dont feel like i should be top 500 lol

[worthy horizon]

plus you're wasting volkner's flinch and terrain on uxie

only getting one use out of flinch

[river cliff]

Electrorepulsion also goes a long way

It barely felt like they were weak to ground

[worthy horizon]

yeah electrorepulsion double ground guard

idk if you ran ground guard

[river cliff]

I did

[worthy horizon]

yea

[dawn plume]

does sure crit eq not just destroy you

[worthy horizon]

nah

[dawn plume]

or you just bank on flinch

[worthy horizon]

type guard still reduces a bunch of crit damage

[median swan]

i've been considering that duo too, how many elec terrain mprs did you need

[worthy horizon]

1 lol

just one terrain at the start and two for the last two bars

[median swan]

oh lol that's encouraging

[river cliff]

It only took me a few tries, it isn't bad at all

[worthy horizon]

could do 0 and bank on flinch chaining if you really wanted

[karmic willow]

alright

anything

half decent

with egg dragonite this time?

i wanna do sycamore

on uxie

[lost juniper]

I just noticed while skimming through Raikou, but SST Red's solo doesn't require skill gears, definitely not specific ones. I made a run with just electric gears too linked in that video

[river cliff]

Why send sycamore to uxie when you can solo regirock with him

[lost juniper]

Yeah I'd use Sycamore for Regirock too

[karmic willow]

like

that's the issue

egg dragonite's para doesn't get

any value this time

i don't know if anyone is good WITH him

[river cliff]

I like him with Raihan

[karmic willow]

which raihan

[river cliff]

But idk about that this gauntlet

Anni

[karmic willow]

don't have.... sucks

alright boys

uhhh

SS Piers

and Registeel

cooked or not?

i need a tank for it and

i'm running out of tankws

actually also thinking like

[river cliff]

Though now that I look at base raihan, he makes good use of dragonite's buffs, hm

[karmic willow]

registeel and sc sonia

[karmic willow]

no duo is possible tho sadge

[pearl beacon]

0/20 Rachel was fine enough
Consider you keep spamming rock slide w raihan so Bar1 is basically stacking n surviving with synchro healing
Then you can go all in with Steel beam on bar2 3

[karmic willow]

yeah i'm shipping it

sc sonia and registeel

[river cliff]

I'm kind of tempted to make registeel my next 3/5 bp pair

[worthy horizon]

ehhhh what does it even get

[loud shell]

Sync burst basically

[worthy horizon]

1/5 is sufficient for solgaleo duos and i couldn't find anything to change it with at 2/5

[loud shell]

And synchro healing I think

[river cliff]

It gets infinite attack buffing

[loud shell]

Correction no synchro healing

[river cliff]

Impervious and sharp entry also be pretty nice

[loud shell]

It’s mainly master healer and sync refill

[river cliff]

The attack + speed buffs would be perfect for someone like Bertha, with enough sustain to keep her topped off

[loud shell]

True but Bertha usually can be paired with a lower investment eggmon

[worthy horizon]

i'd def make it last priority for 3/5 of those bp pairs and even if you have all the rest i'd save lol

[river cliff]

Really? I think you get way more out of this grid than Nita, Regirock, Evelyn, or Cobalion

Isn't it basically just synchro healing?

[worthy horizon]

maybe a big thing is me having argenta which outclasses it

[loud shell]

All of them get first aid and synchro healing

Mesprit is the one I’d put below it

[river cliff]

Idk if 2 nodes is worth bringing them to 3/5

Dana definitely has the best grid

[loud shell]

If the options are to bring one of the 6 to 3/5 it’s Evelyn > cobalion > Nita > regirock > Mesprit = registeel

My thoughts atleast

Evelyn and cobalion especially prefers the investment

[river cliff]

I'd personally put Mesprit at #3. You get defense buffs, some additional healing, speed buffs, and aggravation

[worthy horizon]

3/5 mesprit is good for giovanni teams

[river cliff]

I like it a lot with Koga

[loud shell]

Fair enough. Mesprit for me is the best base kit

[worthy horizon]

i don't make very much use of nita so maybe i'd prioritize registeel in hindsight

[river cliff]

I don't think Mesprit can do stuff like duo Cobalion with Koga at base, but synchro healing as a passive is still great

I've been eyeing Nita a bit more since I hadn't realized all the sand stuff she had

[loud shell]

It’s also regen like Evelynn with screens too

Nita I just did the 2/5 and am quite pleased with her as a Cynthia partner now

[karmic willow]

alright....

holiday skyla

x nate

on uxie

cooked or not?

[loud shell]

Doesn’t Nate have piercing blows or something like that?

[karmic willow]

lmfao what

NATE

by the way

[loud shell]

Oh abit

[river cliff]

Hm, she definitely has one of the better 2/5 grids now that I look at it

[loud shell]

Base Nate

Not nc

[karmic willow]

nc nate doesn't have that

[loud shell]

I thought his outrage did for some reason

[karmic willow]

14 supports left

my god

[loud shell]

What’s your streak atm?

[heavy sinew]

5/5 Cynthia with 1/5 Nita on terrakion viable?

[karmic willow]

141

[karmic willow]

give her 3/5

she needs to dodge

so many moves

actually

no

she got quick combo 3 base right?

[loud shell]

Isn’t fly dodge at base

[karmic willow]

actually no

just

get her 2/5

please

will help so much

[loud shell]

3/5 is staggering and potion MPR I think

[karmic willow]

not to mention

soothing sand

she literally needs it to live

[river cliff]

Soothing sand at 2/5 seems like the minimum for her

[karmic willow]

ah shit never mind

cynthia has to hog all the syncs

3/5 or bust

[pearl beacon]

You got max defs, potions, mini potions, gauge accel, max team speed at base
He miss max crit but not getting that even with 3/5

[loud shell]

Catalytic acceleration would be worth it for me if regi got synchro healing

[heavy sinew]

Nvm then

I wonder what's another partner for cynthia

[river cliff]

Sync refill is kind of like synchro healing I guess?

[karmic willow]

nah?

[karmic willow]

anything defensive

i mean

[river cliff]

Arguably provides more healing if you only sync once with it in the event that they gets EXes eventually

[karmic willow]

bertha works

but then again she's a whole win condition

[pearl beacon]

No, you get back one potion n mini potion uses

[loud shell]

I wonder if lodge Raihan could live enough for Cynthia to cook

[pearl beacon]

But 2 pots +2 mini pots is already enough paired w max defs

[heavy sinew]

Wait

You could be rigbt

Hold on I'ma test

[karmic willow]

lodge raihan?

easily

he has +6 def and sp.def

[loud shell]

I’ve used him a lot and you will need spdef buffs

[karmic willow]

not to mention

[karmic willow]

he has that in his kit

mind brace

you can ramp fast enough

trust

and also

POCKET SAND

[river cliff]

He or Grant are my plans for Cynthia

[loud shell]

I know just saying you’ll have to grid it

[karmic willow]

ha hah

[karmic willow]

either works

[river cliff]

Not sure which one yet, I might use Grant on a hail team

[karmic willow]

grant requires you to flinch much more tho

[pearl beacon]

Grant is far harder, flinch or die

[river cliff]

It's going to be that way no matter where I put him

[karmic willow]

alright

question

ss diantha

solo regirock

[heavy sinew]

I like those odds

[karmic willow]

or terrrakion

[heavy sinew]

probably regi

[river cliff]

Terrakion

[heavy sinew]

I have her 1/5

so I can't say much

[pearl beacon]

As long as you flinch it's 📈

[loud shell]

What is grant weak to steel?

[river cliff]

Yep

[loud shell]

So just no uxie tank which would be a waste anyways

[river cliff]

I might use him in a trio with Candice

[loud shell]

I threw him with summer Steven

[river cliff]

The duo is too hard

[karmic willow]

fuuuu

i should have done karen x silver

much better than mortyyy

morty is too good

[river cliff]

Which Karen, Silver, and Morty?

[loud shell]

I assume houndoom and hoohs

[karmic willow]

yeap

houndoom ho oh

[river cliff]

Sounds janky

[karmic willow]

you have

bite crit coundown

so solar flare cheeses are real

[loud shell]

Just get lucky with flinch

Ez

[karmic willow]

that team is

so good

like

FUUUUUU

WHY DIDN"T I THINK OF IT EARLIER

[river cliff]

Interesting

Well guess I'll be trying that lol

[loud shell]

Archer could work to for those that have him

Ramps inertia for silver quicker

[karmic willow]

this is gonna haunt me so bad

[river cliff]

Man 1/5 variety Kris is so awkward

[loud shell]

She’s decent against uxie

[dawn plume]

i candied v kris to 2/5 just cuz she was so unusable at 1/5

[loud shell]

Good ss Hau tank

[pearl beacon]

Team evasive rush is kinda broken

Considering you already para them

[loud shell]

The full nuke is kinda insane too

[dawn plume]

mix scout gave me 1/5 v kris and 1/5 ss hau

[loud shell]

Hau over Kris easily

[river cliff]

Maybe someday I'll candy her, I just have too many techs that need it more

[dawn plume]

awkward as hell at 1/5 electric terrain setters

[river cliff]

Or maybe I'll get another copy next eevee day

[loud shell]

I mean they make a decent pair at 1/5. She resets terrain for Hau and Hau has the DPS she lacks

[pearl beacon]

1/5 NY Volkner

[river cliff]

Classic elesa

[loud shell]

Ss piers too

[pearl beacon]

Extension 3 📉 dena made him dirty

You spend most of it for the bmove animation

[loud shell]

He has extension at base too

[dawn plume]

game loves giving me electric units i don’t even pull for lmao

[pearl beacon]

Extension 3 is base

[dawn plume]

i have 25/29 electric pairs

[loud shell]

28/29. Only missing the anime rat

Never pulling if he ever reruns

[river cliff]

Think 1/5 Kris and striker Raichu can duo Uxie?

[loud shell]

Nah

[river cliff]

Actually I'd probably need a trapper

[loud shell]

No way you make it past bar 2

[pearl beacon]

None maxong crit, rip

Add a weak sharp entry tank

Oh nvm Kris raise teamwide, still +2 for herself

[river cliff]

If I hadn't already used ss elesa she might have been good

[karmic willow]

i really think i should restart

lol

jk

as long as i have enough supports left

welp, any clear is possible

even though there are

many, many regrets

[river cliff]

I'm guessing Ingo + SS Brock is too rng dependent

[karmic willow]

use ingo + what's her name

lol

[worthy horizon]

ingo + hapu is already very rng dependent and it is a huge huge upgrade to ss brock

with 4/5 ingo maybe ss brock can work idk

gg

100 no trios

[shy sinew]

ggs!

[karmic willow]

now do one with zinnia

god

why is

blue so bad

blue arcanite

like

[worthy horizon]

yeah only overwhelm makes it not completely useless

[karmic willow]

i seriously cannot think of any teams with him

[worthy horizon]

i just used him to make the paulo clear on bulu easier last gauntlet

[karmic willow]

like

i KNOW he can like

deal damage and stuff

but

jesus he's so weak

[median swan]

i just threw him with sc lillie on terrak and hoped for the best lol

[karmic willow]

should have used him with evelyn instead

[karmic willow]

WHAT?

HOW?

WHY?

BRO

[worthy horizon]

"deal damage" is an overstatement xd

[karmic willow]

[median swan]

atk debuffs complement her sp def buffs

and she has flinches

[karmic willow]

ground moves are gonna one shot his ass

[median swan]

so

not at -6 atk

[karmic willow]

no zone even

not to mention

0 speed

so crit

dead

think imma

[median swan]

didn't face much gauge issues with swift

[karmic willow]

take him to face uxie with

the one and only

sc lillie

i almost did the solo

until

facade crit killed me at 50%

i am SO not a fan of that

[dawn plume]

uxie facade secret run killer

[karmic willow]

i have lost

so many games because of that

[river cliff]

Does Hapu even get anything from sand?

[worthy horizon]

it's mainly her making use of accuracy debuffs and having sand shelter on top of it

since she gets damage multipliers from acc debuffs

only thing ss brock gets for sand on top of sand shelter is sands of time and innate sand fortress

and grant is another consideration for ingo but has pitiful damage output

which is again sands of time and sand fortress

[karmic willow]

sc lillie + event blue DONE

facade is NOT making me angry this time

[raven crane]

He can?

[worthy horizon]

ikr

[karmic willow]

something is better than nothing i suppose

[raven crane]

• Said every Astonish dependent duo or solo ever.

"I might die of old age before they do..."

[karmic willow]

damn

the fall phoebe solo

harder than i thought

he attacks so randomly

like

i CANNOT tell when i can dodge

[pearl beacon]

Checking ssaCynthia auto 20min later

but you lost and accidentally press back

[karmic willow]

alright

so

holiday Leon

and holiday Rosa

works?

@sturdy steeple thoughtssss

i mean synchro healing is way too valuable so

idk

[sturdy steeple]

hrosa doesnt have synchro

[karmic willow]

that's why

[sturdy steeple]

if that works thatd be sick

[karmic willow]

i said her

lmfao

it was either

between her

and bp bugsy

to carry h.leon's sorry excuse for gauge

bp bugsy is bad though like

weak to rock ughhhhhhhhhhh

fml

[sturdy steeple]

yeah

[karmic willow]

but dayum

Emmet

really?

i used mine on Terrakion

lol

the sand sync tech is real

[river cliff]

I wonder how many sync buffs norman would need to one shot Uxie's second health bar

[dawn plume]

with a double edge or a sync?

[river cliff]

With -6 defense

Sync

Maybe followed by a double edge

[dawn plume]

well he needs paralysis for his full nuke

and you can’t paralyze uxie at the start of bar 2

[river cliff]

Yeah

[karmic willow]

a bazillion

honestly speaking

let nessa duo with him

or something with speed

[river cliff]

Toying with the idea of Bugsy + Norman

[karmic willow]

NO

even IF that's bp bugsy

[river cliff]

It is

Of course

[worthy horizon]

norman's sync was doing like 10% to uxie on the first sync when i used him lol

with para up

but i gridded him defensively

[river cliff]

Hm well ok lol

[worthy horizon]

so maybe some impossible amount

in a duo

[karmic willow]

okay

assuming bp bugsy somehow lives that long

even WITH synchro healing

you'd need at least four

or five

[worthy horizon]

0 attack buffs but -6 defense

[river cliff]

Gotcha. I'm just trying to figure out someone who can take full advantage of Bugsy's kit

NY Lisia was another candidate, but in a trio

Or maybe Kahili

[karmic willow]

alright

how is everyone using nanu this time

[worthy horizon]

i duoed with fall phoebe for terrak

[karmic willow]

I knew it

that clear is good but

Nah

i need MORe regirock teams

so I passed that

alright

lemme cook

LILLIE

and NANU

you stall the crap out of bar 1

and then you nuke

[river cliff]

I might actually try that lol

They need to give my man an EX

[karmic willow]

yeah

they REALLY do

[karmic willow]

the issue here is speed

do you really wanna do ft2 lillie?

[river cliff]

Kind of surprised Nanu can't support the gauge enough

Ok, I have dubbed Shauna the Norman carrier

[karmic willow]

oh yeah

shauna

i did her with mr useless aka ny lance

[river cliff]

Glad I don't have him

I think I have like 5 seasonal pairs

[pearl beacon]

Not even with charging inflliction?

[sturdy steeple]

need more regi the rock teams

[karmic willow]

so true

[karmic willow]

you are not spamming screech

[karmic willow]

ss acerola solo regirock kekw

[pearl beacon]

For the flinch chain you can

Whenever you flinch-> screech then lillie then bite

[worthy horizon]

5 sleepers and 7 50-60% flinchers left over after reaching 100 without trios

[pearl beacon]

I lost too much time trying something with base vPlumeria

On uxie she can't take a hit damn

[sterile frost]

Overkill? Lg.Skyla 5* 0/20 🤔

[worthy horizon]

i've def spent many many hours on failed compositions

[pearl beacon]

[shy sinew]

I feel this, I've definitely spent more time on failed comps than I have on successful ones this time

[pearl beacon]

Few hours to full 7 days, then this

[river cliff]

Trying to get tech Slowbro and Seaking to cooperate might be my most disliked parts of teambuilding

[pearl beacon]

Me with confusion ista recovering

[river cliff]

Many of my Sidney runs died because of that

[worthy horizon]

crazy that i hit 100 with over a week remaining when just a few days ago i wasn't sure i'd do it at all

[void aspen]

Anyone found a good spot for Candice or BP Candice? It’s feeling like Terrakion hits too hard for them without some super tank

[pearl beacon]

Looks fine, love themed teams (not sure of the overall simergy btw)

[worthy horizon]

i was attempting lodge calem with dana vs uxie and gave up on that

couldn't get enough damage through the confusions and keep everyone alive

i never used either candice or hail on terrakion no

[pearl beacon]

Lodge calem is a squeaky toy, 140 defs, ooof

[worthy horizon]

yeaaa

[lost juniper]

If you have Irida, then she duos with BP Candice

On Terrakion

[void aspen]

I unfortunately don’t

My OG Candice is EX’d so I might pair her with a decent support and she might be able to handle Terrakion if I can farm a few sync buffs in first bar idk

[worthy horizon]

i think glacia dana and melony would be some of the best tanks under hail

that take advantage of it

[void aspen]

I used Glacia already, Melony could definitely give me the chance to get a few sync buffs before bar 2 so that’s a good thought

Ty @worthy horizon I’ll try it with Melony

[lost juniper]

Melony is great with hail teams so yeah use them

[worthy horizon]

i was hoping to get a sleep chain working with her and petey but never got close, barely ever made it out of bar 1 lol

[median swan]

does ingo hapu need 4/5 ingo

[worthy horizon]

i originally did it with 3/5 ingo but never replicated it

need so many mprs

[median swan]

tempted to just throw in tech nido

[olive swift]

yes ty

[worthy horizon]

it is very specifically that clear that makes the sycamore solo on terrakion look extremely easy

only need to dodge nat crits on bar 3 instead of grinding for the tons of sandstorms and potions you need

[median swan]

hm yeah doesn't seem worth it then haha

[worthy horizon]

yeah

[dawn plume]

managed to get the nemona/supp golem regirock duo without any mprs

nice

[void aspen]

I threw in support golem to make the clear easier but Melony+Candice is definitely more than capable of clearing Terrakion even with messy sleep. Just can’t let bar one go long enough to get hit by stone edge.

[karmic willow]

My god

All of the clears on Terrakion are PAIN

Wish me luck fam i need one more clear

[olive swift]

i see u rising up oomf

[olive swift]

for me, i hate the regirock clears

the fact i cant crit makes me sooooo salty

[karmic willow]

I hate both

[heavy sinew]

Palmer Slowbro is so fucking bad

why don't you flinch you little shit

[shy sinew]

I feel like PalElesa hits her metronomed moves at very below average odds, or I'm just getting exceedingly unlucky at the moment

[heavy sinew]

Are you doing the solo?

[shy sinew]

1/5 so no

[sturdy steeple]

No acc buffs at 1/5

[shy sinew]

trying to duo regirock with aaron because what else am I going to do with a 1/5 pal elesa other than click funny metronome move

and of course I think I just rolled the tri attack freeze into immediately thawing with fire blast because why not

elesa clearly heard me complain and she started hitting moves again lol

[karmic willow]

149

One shot from full

Courtney op let's go

[dawn plume]

that looks horrible

[sturdy steeple]

nice job

[karmic willow]

Frozed his ass

Also +4 evasion

Rosa literally dodged everything

Hell

Not even that dumb rock slide hit

It missed EVERYONE

Sadly i could not freeze bar 2 to nuke and one shot the damn thing

Otherwise it would have been such a troll

[sturdy steeple]

thats hilarious

[river cliff]

Is tech or support omastar the play this gauntlet?

[void aspen]

Is Steelix worth the EX for LA bosses other than Regirock? I do like Jasmine and Steelix but she seems to have limited use in other game modes

[karmic willow]

Tech flinch always valuablr

[karmic willow]

Yes

[river cliff]

Yeah but defense buffs are also in high demand

And he's so slow

[karmic willow]

Throw him in with something that ignores gauge issues

For me I used C.Hop

Man

Even Elesa and Lodge Acerola is TOUGH

I barely won that shit

Then again i didn't use gear so

Maybe that's why

Chat is this cooked?

[worthy horizon]

i would think that's one of the best possible uses for tech butterfree

[karmic willow]

How so?

Also

This season is so

Goddamn weird

Like

Usual fodders

Are now actually super useful like

[worthy horizon]

bc infinite gauge means no demand for a sleeper with x speed

[karmic willow]

Even ROARK got action

[worthy horizon]

bc super freebie 9

[karmic willow]

Should i give caitlin FT2 even

[true tartan]

[worthy horizon]

nahhhh vigi too good

[karmic willow]

Alright let's ride

[river cliff]

Heck yeah

The man died immediately after

[pearl beacon]

I think we talk abt it at lg start

Not sure if cait is excessive, is still a sleep chain

But if you already used espeon that looks a good option

Loke if you ran ssLussa

[river cliff]

I feel like a flincher would be sufficient

[pearl beacon]

Flincher looks hell

Also weren't ppl going for Burgh? I spotted some screenshots

[dawn plume]

i did that one

its SOOOOO stressful

[karmic willow]

I did burgh

With a tech sleepmon

With mg2

Gauge is still cooked

No way am I doing that shit again

[dawn plume]

the combination is good cuz bug theme skill and also burgh can debuff evasiveness so you can run fast track instead of troublemaker

[karmic willow]

Yeah but

[dawn plume]

since pinpoint entry and like -2 evasion should guarantee sleep powder hits

[pearl beacon]

Butterfree 📉

[karmic willow]

Too late for that I suppose

[pearl beacon]

Dena took the bad sleeper route

[dawn plume]

x sp def

pinpoint entry 1

WHAT were they cooking

kinda needs an evasion debuffer or accuracy buffer to be used in chains

or speed buffer + troublemaker

[pearl beacon]

Ye some teamwode speed or fast unit like ssMay

[karmic willow]

@sturdy steeple

How to do this duo

Like

It doesn't work

@median swan

Help

I know it's just

Let cait sync every turn but

This happened

Maybe gear?

Or smthM

[kind imp]

https://youtu.be/oen3tMm1nvU&t=628

[sturdy steeple]

Spam karate chop only and sync with cait during bar 1 only

[pearl beacon]

Looks good, gonna steal

any cheap partner for 1/5 EXR Oleana on Uxie?

[pearl beacon]

I ran TL Gio 0/20 w her. R should make it easier
*ft2 on Oleana **spam VenomD to stack speed

[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

[pearl beacon]

Pinned doc, check her solo

Run that then add more units m

[rocky oasis]

tl calem is so obnoxious to use

my man dies to a stiff breeze

had to use up lenora on him

he also hits like a wet noodle off type

spdef debuffs are almost mandatory

[karmic willow]

I used swimsuit misty

Lenora kinda free

Might do N

Because i am literally out of viable supports

That and

Ss piers

The fault of not having enough supports 😦

[pearl beacon]

[karmic willow]

I swear to god i did everything right in the vid

Like

Wth

[karmic willow]

Actually

Lemme think about

The weird stuffl

Like

Holiday erika

Lenora far too valuablr

[rocky oasis]

used holiday erika + anni skyla vs terrak

Probably a waste but im tired of looking at terrakions face

[pearl beacon]

He deals too much dmg

[rocky oasis]

dumb uxie team that somehow worked bc i got a para on iron tail

stoic on liza

same old synchro healing shenanigans

[river cliff]

Are there any good non-Brock partners for Bea? I was hoping to save him for anni Lillie

[rocky oasis]

lisia is a mierable duo

gauge wise

[kind imp]

naomi did brawly

[sturdy steeple]

Don't use brawly that run is hell

Should've just done Brock

[karmic willow]

Brawly waste tbh

Like

He is a win con

@sturdy steeple any teams for bp barry?

It must be a striker with self sustain from what I understand

But who

.....

[chrome halo]

[karmic willow]

My mind can only think of Alder hit and heal 3

Like

That's it

I kept searching and only he pops up

[kind imp]

og barry?

[karmic willow]

Bp barry

[chrome halo]

double Barry is a thing

[kind imp]

i mean do double barry

[karmic willow]

How do you even heal...

Also

Did og barry and ss brendan

Screw the solo

And uhhh, The bois

[chrome halo]

https://tenor.com/view/you-don't-invincible-omni-man-jk-simmons-that's-the-neat-thing-gif-4390372980992221432

[karmic willow]

I always pair them with each other

[karmic willow]

Barry not making it out alive

[kind imp]

^

[pearl beacon]

I ran 1/5 ssGladion, bp barry can keep up the gauge

[chrome halo]

skill issue

[karmic willow]

I hate this

[chrome halo]

i did suggest another option

[karmic willow]

Gardenia already used.....

I jumped on the gardenia and

Uhhhh

Alolan grims hype train

[worthy horizon]

i used lusamine lol

[young forge]

Should I use 1/5 Classic Elesa EX on Uxie or Terrakion?

[karmic willow]

Terrakion duo

If you can kill it fast enough

[pearl beacon]

Terra, maxmove to finish bar2 n nuke w terrain on bar3

[river cliff]

Sleep chain literally broke on the last turn, that was sketchy

[fading anvil]

Okay so I'm back at this. How do I win against Terrakion with SS Lusamine?

[young forge]

For the Hilda / Support Onix duo, who is supposed to tank?

[worthy horizon]

onix

[young forge]

This team should be able to win easily, though you may have gauge issues, Save Psychic Terrain from Bar 2 and 3

[young forge]

Does Onix have to be 5*?

[worthy horizon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJFBjr7mo5Y&t=1557s

nope

[fading anvil]

When sleep chaining fails, and it will, things rapidly go downhill. It's hard to keep everyone alive by bar 2 to start setting terrain

[young forge]

Wow, no Potions on Onix, just let Onix die

[worthy horizon]

i ended up using 1 just to make maximum use of healthy healing but yeah

[young forge]

Can you make everyone Level 140 at least? And Vigilance would help, I’m sure

[river cliff]

I'm surprised that support starmie was able to carry 1/5 Lillie

[young forge]

I’ve done this as a 2/5 EX duo with Support Porygon, so basically the same. 2/5 helps with gauge, and healing a little bit more, but I’m not surprised that 1/5 can do it. Most of the gauge comes from syncing with Lillie for Rejuvenate

[fading anvil]

They all have Vigilance. It doesn't matter because everyone dies in two hits anyway

[river cliff]

Makes sense. I had to get pretty lucky with super preparation for this to actually work. Using any kind of skill gear probably would have helped

[mint osprey]

So I attempted SS May solo. Big mistake

[young forge]

Wait i take this back, SS Lusamine should hit hard enough that you can use the first Psychic Terrain during Bar 1 and it should cover you into bar 2

[river cliff]

Man, I knew Raihan was slow but I thought an eggmon trio with everyone stacked to +4 speed would at least be close to giving him enough gauge, yeesh

[worthy horizon]

🐌

[river cliff]

I'm wishing I'd saved registeel for him now

[fading anvil]

I thought I had tried this before but it did take me to bar 3. But once the terrain runs out, it's basically impossible to do damage anymore

[worthy horizon]

yeah you need to adjust it to where you're using it late enough that that doesn't happen

[fading anvil]

Gauge is definitely an issue. Who can I switch out to make this easier?

omg I finally cleared

No more hard matchups like that. Just 3 more clears of this and I'm calling it

[young forge]

Next time you could try a speed egg mon instead of a sleep chain

[river cliff]

Hmm

[young forge]

I’m about to give up on Hilda / Support Onix. Requires too many Potion MPRs, i need a better support

[kind imp]

maybe better defense buffing eggs?

[young forge]

Yeah that’s what I ended up doing. Switched to support Weezing and had Hilda tank.

[river cliff]

What causes instant recovery from flinches on Regirock?

[kind imp]

Bar 1 or 2/3?

Cause they usually recover instantly from the first flinch/sleep/freeze after bar change

(but can be delayed by chaining passive)

[rocky oasis]

im still looking for the ss misty duo

i assume it needs 20/20 on the duck

[chrome halo]

Did you mean Swimsuit?

There is a Lodge Calem duo on Uxie

[rocky oasis]

vaporeon

idc about the psyduck

[river cliff]

Bar 3. I'm trying to set up Nanu's nuke but he recovers too quickly for me to set it up

[rocky oasis]

helps to wait before bar change

[river cliff]

I shave off 9 turns of countdown before setting it up

[rocky oasis]

why?

[river cliff]

Because I nuke bar 2

[rocky oasis]

you wait to burn regis gauge

before the flinch

[river cliff]

Ah, ok

[rocky oasis]

wait for regi to use it up on a move then end bar then flinch

[river cliff]

Also I was able to do the misty duo with base 5* quaxly, I just had to use a different grid

[rocky oasis]

no wonder

my eggmons are all 4*

[mint osprey]

Does Terrakion have innate crit buff? Because he keeps critting when he shouldn't

[river cliff]

You could probably pull it off with 4* with the grid I was using, but it's also +10 grid energy on misty

[rocky oasis]

yeah no

[kind imp]

Stone edge does, but no dire straits shenanigans no

[rocky oasis]

just dropped +4 on spectrier to make the solo less miserable

i have no orbs lefto

[mint osprey]

Yes, I know edge has innate but I keep getting crit for rogue hits

[rocky oasis]

acerola gets torn apart

she cant take earth powers

even w/ tighten up

[worthy horizon]

glad i could afford to use her with bertha lol

[mint osprey]

Seriously, Ball Guy? You only manage to RNG a heal out of your TM, once?

[young forge]

Penny 2/5 EX + Flannery. I synced twice with Penny and then with Flannery to skip Bar 1.5 Iron Tail. Burned Uxie some time after Penny’s first sync. Spamming Ember helps reduce sync countdown quickly.

[river cliff]

Ok so after beating my head against Regirock with Nanu for way too long, I have found that no matter what I do on bar 3 I cannot get it to stay flinched for Nanu's sync

Tried waiting for Regirock to exhaust gauge, tried queuing a move between the flinch and sync with the partner, tried flinching and then immediately mashing until my sync came out, I can't get anything to work

Bar 2 works fine for whatever reason

[rocky oasis]

rip

gl

i did ex persian gio / nanu / hitmonlee

[river cliff]

Maybe the flinch mechanics on that bar are different for duos or something. I got to the end 4 times and they all ended the same way

If that didn't happen every time Nanu + Lillie would be a great duo

[gleaming cypress]

“optimization isn’t hard on LG” yeah not when THESE are the teams I am coming up with (none of them work)

and I either don’t have move level or orbs to make them work

I just suck at teambuilding apparently and I have no clue what to do about it

[vital ibex]

that one seems so easy tho

both clair and volkner flinch

ig the atk buffs can be trouble

[gleaming cypress]

no spA buff on mewtwo means he can’t nuke bar 3

[gleaming cypress]

I wish clair wasn’t 1/5 too

[gleaming cypress]

actually no that’s not the main issue the main issue is uninvested clair

[mint osprey]

Flinch versus Regirock is a coin flip I refuse to take. All those Wake attempts from early days

And yes, he can just recover up right after you flinch

[gleaming cypress]

what’s worse, I have plenty of status users and grass/steel units just sitting there bc I can’t find an efficient way to clear terrakion so I can’t use them on the other two bosses

[runic idol]

Yeah Regirock flinches for all of like

1 action

Anyway, three clears down now, seven to go.

... I hate this LG.

When Uxie is the easiest one, there are Problems.

[upper lance]

I think players quite regret for having Terrakion in LG

[bitter gate]

I feel like throwing in the towel

[worthy horizon]

i kinda think terrakion is more fun than the other two overall

[bitter gate]

And cookie farming

Lol

I'm at 110/187 but like

I have irl crap too

Do I just stop

[worthy horizon]

it is nice when you can just cap the streak and stop worrying about it

[bitter gate]

It's liberating

[worthy horizon]

fr

[bitter gate]

But fsr I also feel like a failure

Lol

[inland flint]

I'd rather terrakion than regirock tbh

Crit shield + can't flinch or sleep past bar 1 + crit rock slide

[upper lance]

I still prefer Terrakion that Registeel to be honest

[bitter gate]

Like do I want to push or just resign cause busy

And start the autofarm

[runic idol]

Terrakion isn't awful but it ain't great

Regirock is just unfun

And when Uxie is the easy one...

[worthy horizon]

regirock is a slog

[runic idol]

Yeah

Genuinely tempted to bring a brick breaker

[worthy horizon]

won't work against crit shield

[runic idol]

Or like, defog or something

[worthy horizon]

only defog does

[runic idol]

I keep forgetting crit shield isn't considered a screen for some daft reason

[worthy horizon]

would have been nice if they'd made it one

[karmic willow]

O yea

Guys add

@heavy sinew @lost juniper @full pond

[chrome halo]

any duo for 1/5 EX Bede against Terra? or does he need EXR?

[lost juniper]

I think Agatha can work?

Bede is good for sleep chains

[chrome halo]

[karmic willow]

Slash

[runic idol]

Hoo Hah!

[karmic willow]

Man

20 more win conditions on regirock

@sturdy steeple sc shauna

[sturdy steeple]

Whoever you need it forrrr

[karmic willow]

But both are

[stuck mantle]

[heavy sinew]

weak to ground or weak to freeze

[stuck mantle]

Not hard lol

[heavy sinew]

[stuck mantle]

I got like 2/3 potions mp

Miss is realy help

[karmic willow]

I need more regirock clears but

[stuck mantle]

Shauna vs reggi can be like potion check duo

Since no low sts

I did raihan duo vs reggi

Lodge and raihan

Since lodge good tank it

[winter creek]

LG is gonna be a pain. I'm gonna have to speedrun to avoid my mental state being shattered.

[mint osprey]

I'm soooooooo done with missing that 95acc, like 3-4 times in a row

[gleaming cypress]

ngl I unironically lost a bit of sanity doing this LG (terrakion)

[winter creek]

I feel you.

[heavy sinew]

holy shit finally

palmer slowbro done

[gleaming cypress]

I’m only on 14 clears dawg some ppl in here are at 100+ idk how they pullin’ these clears off

hate terrakion. so many of my supports weak to ground rock or fighting

[karmic willow]

Close

I will keep doing it

[gleaming cypress]

idk if 27% on bar 2 is close

[gleaming cypress]

how do you plan to live the earthquake on bar 3

I assume you have vigilance on that

[sturdy steeple]

Sync nook

[heavy sinew]

Gio on terra or uxie?

[chrome halo]

yes

[gleaming cypress]

I tried him on terra he needs vigilance otherwise he dies to crit eq on bar 3

(mine doesn’t have vigi)

[karmic willow]

Max move into bar 3

It dies instantly with nuke

Problem is i need to somehow live THREE sync cycles

Staggering 1 sucks

[gleaming cypress]

I see

another solo I could never attempt since I don’t have the pair required

sadge

[karmic willow]

Bar 1

Is so hard

Bar 2 is heaven

I take the tiniest amount of damage

But

One eq one bulldoze

Jesus

I would probably add a support in

Just to spite this

Like holy fuck i just need to get through bar 1

Unscathed

I win

four hits left

Like

Wtf

[robust nymph]

i'm over here questioning my decision to do cyrus + cheryl

[shy sinew]

wait elesa survives that long against Terrakion?

[karmic willow]

I swear i am THIS CLOSE to winning

[robust nymph]

what is gauge

[karmic willow]

Flinch his ass

[shy sinew]

mm staggering 1 does go hard

[karmic willow]

Get through bar 1 and you would win for sure

[shy sinew]

I’m debating grabbing her off my mix pity so her kit is really fresh on my mind

[karmic willow]

Fuuuuuuu

[upper lance]

God why does Honchkrow have more chance to NO proc Move Gauge Refresh THREE

[heavy sinew]

40%

[upper lance]

Two Time Move Gauge Refresh

[raven crane]

That was the first solo I did.

Best girl.

[heavy sinew]

mfw yes sc barry but no v falk

[sturdy steeple]

1/5 barry would be good against regi the rock

[heavy sinew]

i agree but idk a partner

[sturdy steeple]

tho gauge will need to be good cause need to run vigil

[heavy sinew]

maybe flincher?

pain

[sturdy steeple]

is yours over 1/5

[heavy sinew]

nop

same as you

[sturdy steeple]

it be like that

[heavy sinew]

1/5 0/20

unfortunately real

found a solution with mc regirock but idk if its better

[sturdy steeple]

it works cause man that regirock solo is rough

[heavy sinew]

damn i cant queue correctly

costing me the run

[shy sinew]

oh forgot about no quarter on Barry to chain with vFalkner

[heavy sinew]

nvm i got it

i'll take it regardless

[karmic willow]

Die

[gleaming cypress]

wait ur JP?

[gleaming cypress]

someone’s prob gonna spend hours trying to reverse engineer that lol

[sturdy steeple]

looks like a simple run

[heavy sinew]

realized the only sync multiplier pal dawn has is her innate sync

[bitter gate]

it looks fairly simple, i can give it a try now

[heavy sinew]

no power play

no pecking order

nothing

[upper lance]

FINALLY

[karmic willow]

Use pidgeot

[heavy sinew]

wait this might be gaming

oh quag did it before

doesnt hurt to try

WAIT BUGSY HAS EX?

i thought it comes out this poma day

wtf

[sturdy steeple]

hush

[jade ore]

that's Sophocles this time, Bugsy was last month

[bitter gate]

ye

got flinched twice

and right before I died

and almost lost the run

and no MPR on dawn

and still won it

pretty simple

can someone send me a vid for the ss misty/quaxly duo

[karmic willow]

come onnnn

@sturdy steeple you know i might do that

@sturdy steeple anything to replace lorelei for the nessa duo?

[lost juniper]

Would using Lodge Leaf with Support Pidgey work? I saw a team with her and CBlue but mine is 3/5

[river cliff]

Which stage?

[sturdy steeple]

you can use an eggmon prolly

[karmic willow]

but which one

[heavy sinew]

why does terrak break from sleep faster in bar 3

[karmic willow]

please gimme some recommendations

[karmic willow]

at half bar and start

he will break sleep faster

[heavy sinew]

no

not there

like

during my sleep chains in the middle of the bar

after

the middle

like

3 or 4 times in

he just breaks instantly
