Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)

[stuck mantle]

So maybe it will happend

[raven crane]

Will bring 1000000000000 JPY.

[quaint tartan]

Where’s the shut up and get my money meme

[raven crane]

https://tenor.com/view/money-futurama-shut-up-take-my-money-fry-gif-17694750

[stuck mantle]

And spiritomb

[quaint tartan]

Btw I don’t think she could get spiritomb as a summer alt, more likely milotic/togekiss

[stuck mantle]

Next month need be ghost new for hse

[quaint tartan]

Spiritomb too iconic for a summer alt

[stuck mantle]

Since dark rerun darkrai 5/5 grid exr

[raven crane]

So it'll get relegated to a Fall alt!

True!

[stuck mantle]

Or milotic

Since summer water 🤣

[quaint tartan]

She can still get milotic/togekiss/roserade/porygon Z as alts

[stuck mantle]

I would like spiritomb for hse

Ghost sup exr field

[raven crane]

Considering Tate and Liza got Jirachi and Celesteela, they can give her anything.

Hisuian Arcani-

Yoink Volo's Pokemon.

[quaint tartan]

She got kommo-o and giratina already lol

I mean she showed a kommo-o in the anime but still

[stuck mantle]

Summer Cynthia and summer Red😂

[raven crane]

You would've thought she would've had one in the Battle Tree..

[stuck mantle]

Perfect duo💳💳

[river cliff]

With all the big sellers like the Paldea pairs and Volo hitting us one after the other I could definitely see Cynthia coming. They're committed to draining us before the anniversary hits

[karmic willow]

Finally took out Terrakion with SS Erika and Farfetched

One less clear to think about

@sturdy steeple did you use naomi this time

I forgot

[sturdy steeple]

nop

[karmic willow]

Should i cope for that duo once more

[sturdy steeple]

make it a trio

[karmic willow]

I can finally say

Naomi benched naomi this time

[sturdy steeple]

ive benched her before

[karmic willow]

I was so close last tjne

[karmic willow]

Should have benched zinnia instead smh

But of course

[sturdy steeple]

real

[karmic willow]

Physical attacker funny

I hate the fact that

Most of my remaining terrak clears are

Sleep chain

Or flinch chain

Both can go wrong at any point

Also I benched @thick dawn duo

I am so not doing agatha and clay

That is messed up

Like

No crit so it takes FOREVER

Taking so long means

So many chance for errors

At least with flinch chains

You can still "time it"

I am not going to enjoy this aren't I

[river cliff]

I feel like Clay is better used on Uxie with his buffing profile + toxic chance

Plenty of other sleep chain options

[fading anvil]

These auto teams are a lifesaver. Terrakion almost made me uninstall the game

[kind imp]

Agatha has decent damage if you grid her for it

I dropped first aid, +10 acc and pp1 for HP trade off and tm ramp up 2

[karmic willow]

Ah yes

One fucking flinch

Goodbye clear

Zen headbutt so dukb

@thick dawn how did you get your Iris to kill even

Oh wait nvm

I HAD NO GEAR

[river cliff]

I did not expect Mallow + BP Surge to be such a tight clear, not sure if I want to try that one

[karmic willow]

Yeah lol i'm bad

@sturdy steeple closeeee

[sturdy steeple]

the climb

[stuck mantle]

Luri this time have big chance get 1 place

Since dont see any others top players in top100

[sturdy steeple]

its anyones game,,

[stuck mantle]

Low chance they can score 130-150 in 3 day

In this rotation

She should have 120 units left around

[karmic willow]

for me though

i'm just gonna do 236

exactly 236

and call it a day

[stuck mantle]

Hmm kinda interesting if you score same as nao

Wat if will be rank 2 or 3.🤣

Who get wat medal

Only person who can score more is luri in top100 now

[karmic willow]

that

second person no?

the diantha fan

and then on the last day

Naomi did the unthinkable

she solo'd regirock

with NATE

@sturdy steeple show us how it's done

[sturdy steeple]

I hate nate

[karmic willow]

OMG USSSS

[sturdy steeple]

Probably my least favorite unit to use in the game

Tho Morty may be worse

Cause at least nates bulu solo is easy as fuck

[lost juniper]

Morty is worse. At least Nate can get fly mp back by attacking, meanwhile Morty is an mpr hell

[sturdy steeple]

Exactly why I hate morty

[karmic willow]

alright

[sturdy steeple]

But now he's better thanks to the buff

[karmic willow]

anyone here knows how to

[lost juniper]

I didn't use him yet, though at least for Uxie he's nice

[karmic willow]

time sleeps for the

[sturdy steeple]

Even tho it doesn't fix the mpr issues

[karmic willow]

serena and korrina duo?

i swear

i got through bar 1

safe and sound

and then bar 2 happens...

[lost juniper]

Ground weak against Terrakion sucks so much

[karmic willow]

yeap

oh well

betting it all on getting bianca tmr

or tierno

[sturdy steeple]

You can use flareon instead of korrina but that's riskyy

[karmic willow]

oh no flareon is DEADLOCKED to a regirock clear

[lost juniper]

I'd just make a trio with the three of them

[heavy sinew]

i beg

[lost juniper]

I'm unironically scouting a summer Cynthia

Or any Cynthia

[sturdy steeple]

I mean egg flareon

[lost juniper]

Which is why I don't want her to come now since I need to save

[heavy sinew]

i need more of her tbh

thats why i keep playing

another cynthia

[karmic willow]

thank god i have

[river cliff]

It's a about time

[karmic willow]

a perfectly good katherine lying around

throw her to terrak to reduce damage

and that's it

[stuck mantle]

We can say it like 60-70% chance for it

Or on ani whit arceus🤣

[karmic willow]

dayummmm

bar 2 nuke 59k

bar 3 nuke 39k

under sun

meaning that without sun or burn or... everything

irida's nuke would be TINY

glad i made this call

and well

irida IS ex'd

i ex her for latios solo

oh right

@sturdy steeple the fact that whitney has dc4

means i can nuke without attacking with acerola early on

[sturdy steeple]

That's truu

[karmic willow]

oh no

didn't dodge switft bar 2

i die

lol

should have gone with healthy healing

[heavy sinew]

1/5?

[karmic willow]

3/5....

[heavy sinew]

rip

[karmic willow]

i mean

she only starts nuking then

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=002600024100&s0=5&l0=140&r0=5&p0=0&a0=21010101&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFBggLDg8QExYXGQ&v1=000740077800&s1=3&l1=150&r1=6&p1=0&a1=17041601&t1=11111&g1=AAECAwQFBgcKCxwdHiAjLi8&v2=0

i do recommend

+2 on whitney

+20 sp.def

is HUGE

less heals needed

most of her good grids (that i remember) also need just +1 or 2

so it's actually not bad

[pearl beacon]

The evil intent who designed the sync at -1 crit

[karmic willow]

I KNOW RIGHT

alsoooo

@sturdy steeple like imagine bar 3

i was so scared that it might cleanse my confusion with 1 move left

i went with stomp

flinch > can't move > Can't clear confuse

lol

[pearl beacon]

Troubles fitting mBlue, any good team?
Not having Healing Sun is driving me mad, just why dena

He feels so wrong, dropping WW3 will just drop his dmg too much

[karmic willow]

mblue?

[heavy sinew]

he doesnt have it?

mix

[karmic willow]

mix?

ohhh

[karmic willow]

lmfaoooo so trueeeee

[pearl beacon]

Ye, mix

[karmic willow]

he sucksssssss

red has

g.heal

grassy terrain heal

blue has NOTHING

little solos bc of that lolllo

[pearl beacon]

Only Latios ig

Oh well in mLeaf we'll trust

[tender horizon]

Ye thats crazy no JP is able to do tht

[heavy sinew]

what can i use with a 1/5 victor?

he's

there

[pearl beacon]

reject life

Embrace solos

[karmic willow]

oh yeah

kukui has 0 multipliers

on base

[tender horizon]

Im probably using him as Regirock cheese in the end

[karmic willow]

"Kukui and Lycanroc were the last 5★ sync pair in the general sync pair scout pool to unlock the ability to upgrade to 6★ EX."

[heavy sinew]

damn no PB usage

[tender horizon]

Nope!

[pearl beacon]

I think I remember a Skyla clear with him

[heavy sinew]

damn used skyla

[pearl beacon]

Then ig evBugsy should work too, if ppl were clearing with N i think should not be that different, you also got a max move finisher
*slap a spdef eggo for comfort

[tranquil umbra]

Drasna is… underwhelming
First time i had seriously used her (4/5)

[karmic willow]

lmfao

she dies

too easily

[raven crane]

GOD.

[tender horizon]

Easy good duo

[worthy horizon]

wasn't quite that bad, the solo happened 3 weeks after release but azzy said in the video it only took 88 attempts which is not 3 weeks of straight grinding

and red can take hits throughout with unbending ls, charged immunity, and healing

[lost juniper]

Guess that's true, but still required a ton of luck since Red needed to flinch often still

Terrakion might be worse for him though

[tender horizon]

Fun

[pearl beacon]

Some clears from today, slowly proceeding 🐌

[sturdy steeple]

Royal masking

[rotund rain]

I'm taking that Norman SC Irida duo for myself

[sturdy steeple]

SSR one is fun

[pearl beacon]

Noiice, did the same one. But tanked with MR

[sturdy steeple]

Oo nice

[tender horizon]

This cheaper if u hv gengar

[pearl beacon]

Wasn't that ex?
I tried but not enough dmg

[tender horizon]

Lol the things i do to make Petey usable

2/5 CBede cracked

How is it possible the he took only 3% damage at the end

I did hv healthy healing

[tender horizon]

Yap

[pearl beacon]

Petey is from Galar, master passive stonk 📈

Gonna steal that, my bede is 3/5 but no time for the solo

[dawn plume]

boutta start hitting the optimize button on regirock i swear to god

[shy sinew]

where does ss hilda go if I'm not doing the uxie solo (I have 2/5), still to uxie?

[river cliff]

She might be alright against Regirock

[lost juniper]

I think Regirock

[shy sinew]

I'm trying not to enter Regirock desperation out here quite this early especially since I might as well try for top 100 but I definitely am grasping at regirock wincons

trying to get 4 more tonight but after that I might refocus a plan to get like 40 more clears with what I have left since if I trio with everyone I can hit 180 but some of those are probably nonteams lol

[sturdy steeple]

sshilda is very good vs regirock

[lost juniper]

If she's 2/5 she can't confuse or burn that well

So Regirock is best for her

[sturdy steeple]

30% burn is still good and her self healing is yummy, but shes got so many more regirock counters like unflappable and downside up and simply being a broken af physical attacker, to the point where you can def go cheap on regi with her

[shy sinew]

I've reached the point where all the regirock wincons I can think of are rock weak (blue, looking at you) so I see not rock weak and I'm interested lol

[dawn plume]

did the bianca/lodge cheren duo thx quaggles nice thematically appropriate duo

used a different grid/ls on cheren but it worked well anyways

[river cliff]

What's the cheapest bp valerie can go for partners? I'm thinking of trying something like support Arbok

[tender horizon]

Mmm

Difficult because she doesnt buff defense

[rocky oasis]

uxie team

save the second sunny day for bar 3

[dawn plume]

i did duo w rachel

[worthy horizon]

she can't tank and she has bad gauge so i don't think an eggmon support will suffice

[dawn plume]

for bp valerie

[river cliff]

Skippingmud ran stoic for that

[dawn plume]

but she needs stoic

[worthy horizon]

especially without a steel sync move

[rocky oasis]

blaine kinda needs a ex imo

[worthy horizon]

and only getting one flinch for bar 2/3

[river cliff]

Well, I don't have much in the way of tanks at this point

[dawn plume]

rachel/bp valerie worked but i think it was super down to the wire

i used a different grid than skippingmud

[river cliff]

Maybe something like support Omastar will work

[dawn plume]

an eggmon wont work for a duo

she needs more help than that

[rocky oasis]

support omastar + a meat shield

[river cliff]

Support Omastar + Support Arbok perhaps

[dawn plume]

that might work

[rocky oasis]

gl

[river cliff]

Support Omastar is not a bad meat shield

[dawn plume]

you'll need good flinches

[worthy horizon]

i can see double support eggmons working

[dawn plume]

cant let crit shield go up on bar 2

[river cliff]

Sync + a few iron heads should do clear it

[rocky oasis]

cheapest kahili team vs regi?

aside from sleep chain ofc

[worthy horizon]

couldn't sleep chain kahili through regi anyway i would imagine

[rocky oasis]

anyrhing w/ crit can do it in theory

in practice tho

its gonna be a shitty clear all around

Support 23
Tech 33
Strike 25
Egg 22
Sprint 1
Field 0
Total units 104

starting to run out of options

[river cliff]

Might've been able to go even cheaper tbh

[dawn plume]

not bad

[river cliff]

Support Omastar deserves a lot more credit than it gets. The tech variant is arguably the worst flincher there is

Which is still good but it demands a speedy pair or speed buffs to stick it with

[worthy horizon]

yeah i didn't realize until super recently that it's +6 def

[river cliff]

+Sustain

[worthy horizon]

yea 2 gradual healings and first aid 2

and rock throw for a 1 bar move

[dawn plume]

i love supp omastar

i avoid tech omastar like the plague

its bad

[sturdy steeple]

what the hell why i do i even use tech omastar

(flinch duh but)

[worthy horizon]

btw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMurGls_iMg 👀

[sturdy steeple]

thank you for reminding me to update the doc

also wow on youtube

[river cliff]

Any Bruno clears for Regirock around?

[kind imp]

f.caitlin

[heavy sinew]

no sleep chain this time around

W

[river cliff]

No f caitlin for me sadly

[sturdy steeple]

solo doc updated

[dawn plume]

i tried that f caitlin clear but it wasnt working for me

my f caitlin 2/5 maybe thats just not enough

[river cliff]

Which sleep clear is more doable for 2/5 EXR NC Rosa?

[sturdy steeple]

i think it still should work with 2/5

[sturdy steeple]

regirock probably, terrakion is very tight

(but id recommend candying

[raven crane]

(Of course you would.)

[sturdy steeple]

such a good use

[raven crane]

I find more reasons as time passes to 3/5 her.

https://tenor.com/view/the-rising-of-the-shield-hero-tate-no-yuusha-no-nariagari-anime-naofumi-iwatani-raphchan-gif-25871318

[river cliff]

Unfortunately I have her, 1/5 Penny, and 3/5 Elaine competing for my candies

Though finally getting NC Blue to 3/5 should help a bit

[heavy sinew]

Think I might throw in the towel this time around

Only did 75

Got next to no time

[sturdy steeple]

still a good effort!

[heavy sinew]

pain

[drifting talon]

who pairs best with Mesprit? I have Bianca and Giovanni still available

[kind imp]

2/5 mesprits duos uxie with giovanni

[drifting talon]

Oh neat!

[scenic bolt]

Why does that

Have so much text

Scrolling

[drifting talon]

Who should I pair with Bianca on Terrakion?

[kind imp]

atk debuff

p.dawn/tech kanto persian

[drifting talon]

Oh I was thinking Lucian LMAO

[dawn plume]

lucian will be very easy

but it's late so might as well

[chrome halo]

Lucian can duo with a sleeper

[drifting talon]

Oh nice!

[chrome halo]

if you don't care about high streaks just go all out

[drifting talon]

I still got 2 days left, I can probably fit a duo with him in

[shy sinew]

Lucian sleeper is actually ridiculously easy because he shreds with sync (could be that mine is 70 energy from HS so I grabbed all of the sync power tiles)

[drifting talon]

My main goal is to get to 20 wins, but I'd like to go further

[worthy horizon]

lucian sleeper is straight easy

[chrome halo]

he doesnt need energy overcap to make the duo easy

[drifting talon]

...damn now i wanna try it now

[shy sinew]

nah you just get a 460bp sync instead of the 510 that I had lol (but mine did one shot bar 2)

[drifting talon]

does he need to be EX'D?

[chrome halo]

EXing makes the duo clear faster

[shy sinew]

it helps but it’s a sleepchain so as long as you keep your chain it doesn’t matter how many syncs you need

[worthy horizon]

with attack debuffs and on-type damage

[drifting talon]

im not the best at sleepchaining but I can try

[karmic willow]

zeyyyy

[karmic willow]

always candy rosa

kekw

5/5 even

me who pulled 5/5 on that banner day 1 but didn't have time to record because stupid finals:

[sturdy steeple]

i gave her 3 candies <3

that 8 energy overcap is so worth it

[river cliff]

Sleepchainig bar 3 of Terrakion is driving me crazy. I got 4 clears done super easily and then suddenly I rarely make it halfway through the bar

[hallow gull]

Half way to my goal, 2 days left

[river cliff]

Maybe it's an Agatha thing, idk

[drifting talon]

Cleared Terrakion with Lucian and Egg Exeggcute!

[worthy horizon]

agatha doesn't self-enable sleep chains like a lot of other sleepers

[chrome halo]

i thought her MGR9 helped?

[river cliff]

She works fine until bar 3. I've been using her alongside lodge Sycamore

[dawn plume]

mgr9 only activates if the move is successful

hypnosis hitting a sleeping opponent is not successful

so it wont activate

ironically if agatha didnt replace lick with shadow ball after mega evolving i think she could get a solo lol

but alas

[worthy horizon]

yeah i just remember attempting the bulu solo and she does not really get anywhere

[river cliff]

Yeah. Does mgr9 mess things up if she's alongside another enabler?

[worthy horizon]

but i did check in-game and lemmay is right

[river cliff]

So I take it the bar 3 wakeups are still dubbed completely random?

[karmic willow]

bro is seriously speeding lolololol

but nice to do teams that you know works

meanwhile i had to test and theorize a lot

and then of course, roll for lucky skills because this game hates giving me vigilance so I had to purposefully delay certain clears

but once this LG is done

i am DONE with rolling for skills

my tanks got back vigilance after a slew of... questionable other skills

[sturdy steeple]

HEHEH

[river cliff]

...why was this 10x faster to get than Agatha + Sycamore? There's got to be something to this

[drifting talon]

How do I duo uxie with 2/5 Mesprit and Giovanni? I feel like they're getting worn down before bar 2?

[kind imp]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oen3tMm1nvU&t=284s

[drifting talon]

[pearl beacon]

Roxie got actual dmg

[rocky oasis]

91 units left

[olive swift]

what will be the cutoff for top 100?

[lost juniper]

Probably in the 130s if I'd guess

[river cliff]

I mean yeah, but the chain went off without a hitch whereas with Agatha Sycamore it'd break out of the chain within 2 sync cycles consistently after 10+ attempts

[karmic willow]

Status immunity

Because i am tired of registeel

And entei

Other factors include

Dragon pulse

[kind imp]

I fear raikou

[karmic willow]

Poison Jab from Cobalion

Raikou

Yeah

That

Also funny how Leaf has antitoxin and flameproof

But nah, still gets frozen by stupid ice punches

[kind imp]

But like you have that on everyone?

[karmic willow]

[karmic willow]

Depends

I can hardly remember

Most flinchers have flameproof as base tho

[stuck mantle]

I have on nc blue only

Since wait for moltres lg and solo

Its only left for me 14/14 do🤣

[karmic willow]

Oh yeah

My lodge Rosa has it

Because entei solo

One day i will do latios solo

Just need exr

Literally anything would do

[lost juniper]

if she doesn't get strike then no shot for it

Cause how you deal with sides

[karmic willow]

believe harder

closest i got was

with sup arcanite

like

got to bar 3 even

needed ONE MORE flinch

[river cliff]

Finally found a use for my 1/5 v Kris

[mint osprey]

I suppose the easy thing about Terrakion is that he can be cleared with sleep chain

[river cliff]

If he cooperates

[worthy horizon]

no sleep/flinch limit makes a lot of chains possible but not very many of those are easy or reasonable

[hallow gull]

Yeah, but he is very anoying to sleep chain

Randomly wake up and kill you if you dont have any debuff

[mint osprey]

2 pair chain is definitely tougher to maintain.

[worthy horizon]

yeah highly minmaxed duos and a lot of solos get really bad

but if you can afford to throw on a sleeper/flincher on something that already could work it can make things far easier yea

[karmic willow]

even with a flincher

if he doesn't get flinched

you die

instantly

again

[river cliff]

Speaking of flinches, boy do I love 30% flinches

Support Pidgeot ftw

[karmic willow]

i am still

trying that stupid steven duo

i got tiernooo

finallyyyy

[river cliff]

I look forward to getting him

[hollow ether]

My streak vids. For now in vids still 80 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwNoMOEKmIWUigVW4OyY38EiFT5T9iP5G&si=opO6m5a-RAdrtWY7

[karmic willow]

still

no bianca left

sadge

I will forever blame @hallow gull if i pitied her tomorrow

[lost juniper]

2/5 EX R SC Irida solo on Uxie sure is nice

[tender horizon]

Crazy

[hollow ether]

good thing ridicure procs always.. i messed up at bar 2 tho, my first try i could skip bar 2 after 1 move and sync and still kept the traps for bar 3

[lost juniper]

Yeah you should've conserved the flinch to after you got to below half

But good thing you won anyways

[hollow ether]

haha i also misclick that

[hollow ether]

my first try i still kept 2 B-move for bar 3

[river cliff]

Surprisingly not nearly as bad as I would've thought, the attack reduction gives Pidgeot quite a bit of staying power. Flinching to stall through bar 2 is the only part that's kind of sketchy, but having endurance helps

[tender horizon]

Mmm

Wtf am i making

[tender horizon]

Oh this was so easy

[hallow gull]

[karmic willow]

@median swan

Fast track 2 > unflappable

We speeding through this regirock bastard

[stuck mantle]

Lol you say you dont have tierno

Now you have🤣

5/5?🤣

[karmic willow]

Bianca scout

[stuck mantle]

4/5? Lol and you complain about luck🤣

I dont get a singel copy🤣 after his banner

[karmic willow]

Shut up you have bianca and larry and poppy and whatever the fuck i can't remember like variety plumeria

You don't get to tell me about complaining about bad luck

Don't complain about shit you will eventually have as if it's such a big deal

And just for you

Everytime i see you tell people about strats it's always the most tone deaf response like "hur hur just use this unit at 5/5 😘 " I know you got every thing at 5/5 and that so keep it to your damn self

Like people asking about 2/5 SS Kris and TL May duo you just go "i used 3/5+ SS kris" a few days back

Like bro who asked for real. Your answers only work for like, the top 1% of this game who whales on every unit

Some people out here are trying to use whatever they have, if you do actually notice

Sure I have a lot of old units at 5/5 too but you don't see me wave that everywhere and actually provide explanations on how to actually win with lower move levels to help others. Unlike you who just made such a big deal from "keeping it a secret 😘 " during last HSE. It's your right to keep it a secret and all that, but it's not gonna stop me from calling you out for being pretentious

If I can private my clears from you, I would actually. Too bad we don't have that kind of mechanic in the game yet. Of all the people here, you are probably the one that made me angry the most.

Sure I might complain to Pyuko a lot (sorry buddy XD) but at the end of the day, it's at least civil and he doesn't overly flaunt that everywhere, so I respect him a lot

I know you got the money and resources to spend on this game so, good for you.

But my fucking god just keep it to yourself sometimes.

I bet next month you might even pay for Tierno from that select scout next month for HSE so don't even complain about having him now

I'm tired from all this gauntlet stuff

[dense leaf]

I wanted to end in 69 clears but it seems it may be very close to miss top 500, so I think ill go to 75 . There is a top 500 title right?

[karmic willow]

yes

[dense leaf]

its alright, i still have a lot of characters, can just do 6 overkill extra clears

[karmic willow]

at this rate

just overkill your way to victory

[dense leaf]

could even go to 100+ but I have been very busy and not much motivation either. 75 seems ok for me

[karmic willow]

yeah

it's a good number

[shy sinew]

what move level? just EXed mine but it’s only 2/5 so not sure if that’s solo or duo level

[karmic willow]

2/5 is solo level so

you CAN do it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=rMeXioF_DLa9Q7vY&v=mi6_IUCsNF8&feature=youtu.be

[tender horizon]

Yes indeed

[karmic willow]

you don't miss anything between 2/5 and 3/5 though

[karmic willow]

in tierno's context, it's kinda true

like yeah

you get flinched and ate some damage but

[tender horizon]

What is unflappable even for

[karmic willow]

if you have enoguh speed, you can attack your way back to full health

[tender horizon]

Those rock tombs are the worse

[karmic willow]

Some people just don't like dealing with Stomp and Rock slide like skippingmud, so ask him how he got the patience to sit through a -6 speed clear lol

[tender horizon]

Like Regirock also stops moving when u flinched, thats how gauge works

Haha i had ft2 since beginning so it kinda just worked out for me

[shy sinew]

my Regirocks throw an entire sync cycle at me when I flinch

idk what Regirocks you have

[tender horizon]

Thts true for Uxie

Zen headbutt in bar 3 easy game over

I cant believe it but im about to put Lorelei on nuke duty vs Terrakion

Lorelei Tech Lapras and Grusha

[lost juniper]

It's not even a bad solo. He has Vigilance at base and can pick unbending

Just get fast track procs and enough healings to outlast Regi

[karmic willow]

so true

at 1/5 it's impossible tho

XD

thank god i got

J U S T the dupes

but damn

[lost juniper]

Yeah he needs the healing

[karmic willow]

no bianca

[lost juniper]

1/5 can do cheap on Regi though

He has almost everything for it

[tender horizon]

Anyone got an SC Jasmine team for Regirock?

[hallow gull]

[lost juniper]

I just used her for Uxie

[hallow gull]

SC Jasmine very terrible again Regirock

[karmic willow]

it's okay i can pity her

after gauntlet

[shy sinew]

I used mine (1/5) with checks notes Lodge Dawn

1/5 is so bad that all I could think of a use for her was as a crit maxer

[karmic willow]

Move level?

Also

She buffs sp.def so

Valuable on uxie

You can win with even Lucy

[shy sinew]

followup: do I want to (I would wait until after tomorrow just in case PoMa day is nice to me for once), the solo you linked makes it look easier than it probably is

I would imagine that an attack boosting eggmon makes it a lot easier and I should still have lots of those left

wait I forgot that he has team headstrong as one of his passives they really gave him everything he needs to be a Regirock counter huh

[lost juniper]

How does TL Gladion + Masked Royal works?

I assume Masked Royal tanks?

[mint osprey]

Sounds like you need some rng dodge

[tranquil umbra]

Top 100 update:

[bitter gate]

id be surprised fi I survive the next few days lol

[stuck mantle]

2 day left should be around 130

[tranquil umbra]

I have used a third of my Deluxe cookies stash trying to get Healthy Healing on tanking non-tanks lol

[shy sinew]

I see somewhere between 130 and 140 yeah, trying not to underestimate the power of last day pushing too much but also this gauntlet is harder to last day push on

[tender horizon]

3/5 but i kinda have a lot for Uxie alrdy idk

Ok maybe

I'll put Sonia to Regirock instead

[heavy sinew]

where should i put a 1/5 uninvested poppy

[lost juniper]

Regirock I guess? Gigaton Hammer super effective

[pearl beacon]

Ye, Regi, she got Impervious and gigaton hammer goes brrr 🔨

[shy sinew]

gigaton probably one shots the last bars without crit immunity in effect yeah

planning teams on pencil and paper right now (the things I do during downtime at work) and realized I still have a 1/5 Pal Marnie to work with, I still have an abundance of weather setters so I assume just hold her in case I’m struggling on Regirock clears later on?

[heavy granite]

Any ideas for 3/5 Raihan on rock?

[shy sinew]

I used 2/5 Pal Victor but I’ve seen Rachel work as well

Rachel wasn’t tank enough for me in my testing

[heavy granite]

I don't have either of them :/

[chrome halo]

Quaggles did the duo with Giocat

[shy sinew]

yeah that makes a lot of sense too, the commonality between all of them is a speed buffing tank

[bitter gate]

i did it with giocat also

with a 2/5 raihan at that

[shy sinew]

oh yeah I put my Giocat with 1/5 Jacq on Regirock and that clear I think was closer than it should’ve been lol

not saying I made good decisions, but they certainly were decisions

[heavy sinew]

1/5 raihan can do nothing

sad

[lost juniper]

Who to use with Piers

[heavy sinew]

i did blaine

on uxie

[lost juniper]

How hard was it

[heavy sinew]

not terrible

idk who else did it tho but it wasnt that bad, just save a sun for bar 3 to nuke the thing

how is the roserade duo possible, barry keeps dying cause i cant heal

[lost juniper]

I have both EX-ed

Roserade has the same grid as its Tornadus solo basically

You nuke Bar 2

[shy sinew]

oh yeah I still have a BP Barry available somehow (atp I’m going to get past 150 if I can cobble together enough Regirock clears lol)

[sturdy steeple]

Literally didn't even use him this time he's so bad

[rocky oasis]

i just remembered that you cant sleep in electric terrain

10 mins wasted

oh well

[sturdy steeple]

did you try sleepchaining with volkner

cause i almost did that this time and was just gonna pray for 50% flinches while eterrain was up

[raven crane]

Lmfao.

Gauntlet brain rot be like.

[shy sinew]

speaking of sleepchain lodge N and v Lucas can sleepchain right (planning clears on paper atm and Lucas looks so bad with rock weakness)

VLucas is 1/5 in case move levels make a difference

[sturdy steeple]

lucas can, but id recommend using a worse unit to chain with N since N is super easy to win with

[lost juniper]

I almost thought to do a sleep chain with SS Hau

Thanks for reminding me haha

[river cliff]

How cheap can you go for a NC Marnie partner?

[chrome halo]

egg umbreon methinks

[lost juniper]

Flinch egg

Her B-move ignores Terrakion's passives so theoretically a flinch egg can duo with her

[sturdy steeple]

you can go as cheap as a unit that is gauge efficient and can maybe take a hit to just brutefroce with marnies b move

but the easy option is just a wtz eggmon

[shy sinew]

I think I’m approaching this more from the perspective of Lucas would probably die otherwise but I think I still have egg sleepers left

[lost juniper]

To be fair if Marnie had better gauges and healing she'd solo Terrakion

If she gets field EXR she most definitely solos

[sturdy steeple]

yea

theoretically she can solo but it aint happening anytime soon

(and i predict theyre gonna give marnie sprint mayb

[kind imp]

yea
she has a pretty high rng ceiling, if you can avoid the opponent syncing when you're at 1 hp, you can endure spam

[lost juniper]

Sprint is good on her though

She feels so slow

[sturdy steeple]

true but strike sprint R is such a bad combo

[lost juniper]

I mean Marnie doesn't really need EX R. I think Tech is probably the least impactful on her since her DPS is way better

Sprint I like for Rally and for more speed on her

Field would be outright broken on her

[sturdy steeple]

field is def ideal for the kinda unit she wants to be

[dawn plume]

guess whos max move didnt crit

[sturdy steeple]

(support good too ofc)

[dawn plume]

rafad again

[lost juniper]

Palmer wishes he was his UB self rn

[heavy sinew]

no worries guys Persian will save the day

[shy sinew]

thought that was Giocat for longer than I’m willing to admit

[drifting talon]

I made it past my farming streak! Now at 18 wins!

#1149049868904575127 message

[dawn plume]

yippee i got it

for some reason it queued earthquake instead of sacred sword

i dont understand terrakion at all

but this time i wont complain

p sure palmer needs 3/5 exr for this duo to work, needed his sync to take out bar 2 from half

[lost juniper]

Sometimes Terrakion would randomly sacred sword

Like I did NC Nate + Iris against Terrakion and he was about to sync in bar 2 but I pushed it to Bar 3, so it opened with the sacred sword

[drifting talon]

I completely forgot I haven't used Akari yet

Also do yall think that Sonia+SST Red on Terrakion is a waste of pairs?

I was able to do that duo when I was just trying to farm

[dawn plume]

its fine tbh

red can solo at 3/5ex but its a painnn bc of the ground moves

sonia's def buffs help

[stuck mantle]

Or just egg whit flinch. Sonia is good on regirock.

[inner turret]

I tried that and didn't even reach bar 3

i'm so clueless as to how to use Palmer in LG

[dawn plume]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/13400/48600?s=3&l=150&r=6&p=0&a=21010101&g=AAECAwQFDA8SExUWFxodICEr&x=true i used this

1st sync cycle just prioritize debuffing

b move bar 1 make sure you get the def debuff

normal wish crush grip sync takes out bar 2, crush grip max move 2 shots bar 3 but its a tight quadqueue

[inner turret]

You only use 1 wish the whole run ? damn

[raven crane]

Palmer is so fun.

Outside of this mode.

[inner turret]

Palmer is fun in CS
Outside of CS he's kinda mid

He works in Rally ig, but anything works in rally lol

[raven crane]

He’s hot so it’s okay!

[dawn plume]

yeah only 1 normal wish

using one on bar 1 woulda make the b move take out the bar but i really want the def debuffs

i wanna try mpizza palmer on stage 10 in rally one day lol

[inner turret]

how tf do you have enough gauge

i say that but i never procced combo freebie

[dawn plume]

double mgr, freebies, and persian is a good battery

does need some luck

persian is 4* max affinity

[inner turret]

i'm going for catalyst

1st try

[dawn plume]

ggs

[inner turret]

+6E helps the gauge

[raven crane]

Grats bestie.

[inner turret]

+2E actually

[stuck mantle]

Persian have flinch?

[inner turret]

nop

[stuck mantle]

And you win nice lol

[heavy sinew]

Forgot what I did but it wasn't persian

Seems much more cheaper

[inner turret]

Golem works

[heavy sinew]

Oh yeah it was slowbro

[karmic willow]

A bit late but

You got darach?

[heavy sinew]

Ya

[karmic willow]

Anything with crit shield removal should

Allow her to kill

Crit shield removal is perfect for speedrunning

I actually made it use the dang thing three times in a row

Then agaij

Do be speculating cuz

I do not have her lmfao

[sturdy steeple]

https://youtu.be/px_WVHyG-Ak
https://youtu.be/KvREGvmmKOo

videos doneeee

[karmic willow]

Wooooo

[inner turret]

Yooo

[heavy sinew]

LETS GOOOO

[lost juniper]

Let's go!!!

[wicked tusk]

Can you guys help me come up with teams

i hate the repository's use of eggmons

[lost juniper]

If you want 10 wins you can look at the f2p guide video for reference, bht generally:

Terrakion - WTZ, flinch, sleep

Uxie - status and interferences

Regirock - Whatever else you have that doesn't fit the other two

[karmic willow]

@sturdy steeple practicing timing the serena duo

it's so hard sometimes

i feel like i panic way too much lol

[raven crane]

https://tenor.com/view/filo-go-excited-happy-cheer-gif-16132144

[karmic willow]

it is NOT looking good lmfao

FUUUCK

like

did the entire game well

can't queue hypnosis enough for bar 3

@sturdy steeple like how do you even lol

[wicked tusk]

i'm on run 274

[lost juniper]

274? Oh wow, though if you got this far then I suppose you must have used almost everyone by this point

[sturdy steeple]

Da vids uploaded

[karmic willow]

god it's stressful

[inner turret]

[wicked tusk]

feel shame.

[karmic willow]

wait what?

[wicked tusk]

what

[karmic willow]

274 wins?

for real?

[wicked tusk]

i didn't say wins

[raven crane]

Lmfao.

Felt.

[wicked tusk]

😭

[karmic willow]

yeah no lol i cannot do this

[lost juniper]

Oh, well in that case there are several blogs made by the people here, myself included, and some have video links in them too

[karmic willow]

not really a fan of the whole

queue perfect or die gameplay on serena

[lost juniper]

That's why you bring a third

[karmic willow]

dunno if i can afford to do that

[lost juniper]

Elio is also that but worse because sing might as well fail

[wicked tusk]

you have three days left, it's pretty much over

go nuts

[karmic willow]

nah elio's queue is

surprisingly simple

i did elio and petey

the issue with serena is that

she's the damage dealer

[lost juniper]

I tried Elio and Petey, they died Bar 2

[karmic willow]

lol

but

here's my gripe

if i nuke i can't queue

so i die

[lost juniper]

Siebold exists for a reason

[karmic willow]

petey and elio is a bit different cuz

[lost juniper]

Where else you'd use him

[karmic willow]

petey hits

[karmic willow]

yeah i am doing ramos and him first

[lost juniper]

Ramos without TL Gloria?

Why

[karmic willow]

i mean

venusaur?

[wicked tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/petey-piranha-new-super-mario-bros-gif-26931765

[karmic willow]

god i wish i have a few more solo units

like bianca

[lost juniper]

You do Venusaur TL Gloria?

[karmic willow]

yeah?

and what about it?

[lost juniper]

Sounds horrible

[karmic willow]

hell i might

throw even

[lost juniper]

But you do you

I don't judge

[karmic willow]

lodge elesa

and ss leaf on uxie

i seriously cannot get lucky enough to do the solo lol

[lost juniper]

SS Leaf 5/5?

I want to use SS Leaf but she's stuck in 1/5 hell forever

[karmic willow]

like

if i can get bianca tmr

i would be able to remove a trio clear

like imagine

eusine

lusamine

and sup tauros

[lost juniper]

Guess so if you have the candies. Without it you need EX R

[karmic willow]

i'm literally reaching for the bottom of the barrel here

so many problematic clears left

[wicked tusk]

someone say a terrakion team

[karmic willow]

and all of them are terrakion clears lmfao

yeah i don't think i can

realistically do 236

within this timeframe

@\

@sturdy steeple sorry kekw

[wicked tusk]

it's okay you tried your best

[sturdy steeple]

Aw

[lost juniper]

May, Crasher Wake, support that buff their defenses

[shy sinew]

wake plus second flincher should also be able to do that reliably

instead of defense support

[wicked tusk]

blocked and reported

[karmic willow]

nah

be me

do wake

speed eggmon

and blastoise

you maximize your speed intake

[lost juniper]

Now you're talking

[karmic willow]

nothing is wasted

and well, idk about you but

with shower power

and interference sync

you can realistically one shot it in bar 2

and 3

[shy sinew]

no way Wake doesn’t one shot later bars yeah

[lost juniper]

If Wake is EX then yeah

[karmic willow]

first nuke did 30k

[lost juniper]

Does he have EX?

[karmic willow]

second nuke did 25k without crit

and maybe because i ran dc2 on my speed eggmon lmfao

it's arbok

he's gonna die regardless so

screw vigilance

[shy sinew]

mine was dealing 18k without EX and also in ET because I used Volkner as second flincher lol

[karmic willow]

fuck it we ball

[lost juniper]

I used Arbok for VSelene on Regi

It's basically the solo but Selene can get both speed and defenses

[lost juniper]

Why Volkner + Wake

I'll probably steal from Naomi her Volkner + Roxie team though. I like that a lot

[shy sinew]

I’m just doing random crap that comes to mind at this point

and that was a yesterday clear for me

did zero planning because I thought I wasn’t going to try hard this gauntlet

[karmic willow]

man i just love how terrakion deletes me

[sturdy steeple]

Roxie's damage surprised me (cause I rarely use her cause 1/5)

[lost juniper]

Yeah. Last time I used her on Bulu and she just melted it effortlessly

[karmic willow]

yuup one eq one bull doze goodbye rika

[lost juniper]

I thought TL Gladion was cheap last time but it was super overkill

[rocky oasis]

wishing he had a ex bc he really needs the extra +40 def

regi is destroying him

[lost juniper]

These stats are sad

But maybe getting him to 5* will help

[rocky oasis]

i aint got the resources atm

barry ate all my 4* PUs

even w/ gear he's disappointing

ex brawly would hit 202 def w/ gear

which is useable i guess

[worthy horizon]

he's decent at 5* 0/20

[karmic willow]

use him as a nuker

[rocky oasis]

unfortunately im trying to ex everyone rn so i dont have the resources to spare

[karmic willow]

tangela

and uhh

tate

a trio means faster nuke

tate allows you to stall

and there goes rika again 😦

wish i can stream so you can watch me suffer lmfao

man i love not having enough sand

bar 3

first time

@sturdy steeple

i actually did the tl rika and acerola duo

FINALLY

[sturdy steeple]

Yay nice work

[karmic willow]

god that took me 45 minutes

one less problematic clear

now for ethan and charizard again

the suffering

[sturdy steeple]

Despair

[karmic willow]

🍐

in today's talk about how much i hate ethan

@sturdy steeple all of my burns came from CHARIZARD

he2 who?

that thing never works for me lmfao

[sturdy steeple]

Lmaooo

[karmic willow]

ah right

ethan got hit from the beginning til end

loook alive?

more like no you're DEAD

YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD ETHAN

WHY

2 iron tails back to back

absolutely attrocious duo

even with really good gear like

100 20def 20spdef

among other things

ethan is NOT cooking

[sturdy steeple]

This is why I used sandslash

[karmic willow]

sandslash does not help

if you can't burn in the first place

lol

i count every instance of he2

and let's just say

abysmal rate

in 100 flamethrowers

it only worked about

EIGHT whole times

EIGHT

30% where?

lies

a fraud

a scam

a whatever

finally

ah yes

fucking rafa'd

at least it's over

like

i really jinxed myself thinking

"it's either gonna be a flinch, or rafa"

[raven crane]

Law of averages is not in your favor huh.

[karmic willow]

i am probably

the most unlucky person to have ever touched the game

and I am not exxagerating on this one

[raven crane]

Thanks for bearing the cross for us.

[karmic willow]

like

just the worst can happen

will always happen

[raven crane]

Live and die by Murphy’s Law.

[karmic willow]

trueeee

[true tartan]

I'd say that many people just don't keep complaining here, so we don't know lol

[karmic willow]

i'm serious lol

[worthy horizon]

i'd argue that everyone has the same luck and it's just our responses that differ

[raven crane]

Law of averages supports that.

Everyone’s luck is roughly the same just people are more or less vocal, and in different areas.

[kind imp]

I think I remember more when I get lucky than unlucky

[raven crane]

I’m used to resetting so damn much that I don’t even call it luck, just the norm.

[worthy horizon]

yea

[karmic willow]

not even a double flinch can stop me

die regirock

221

i pray i can get bianca by tmr

or the day after

also it's reaaally funny that siebold has a tiny bit more defense than ramos

[raven crane]

https://tenor.com/view/broly-vegeta-give-energy-gif-27543931

Good luck.

[karmic willow]

thanks

that's what i need rn

[raven crane]

Well let’s hope I didn’t curse you further.

[karmic willow]

also

i realzied

you can double buff before sleep

[kind imp]

?

[inner turret]

terrakion is slow

you can use 2 moves before he uses 1

[kind imp]

Ah ok

[karmic willow]

exactly

so for setup characters that takes forever

ss erika

lodge rika

double before flinch / sleep

helps out a ton

bar 2 let's go

welp

another clear

down the drain

because terrakion just RANDOMLY wake up bar 3

i can never trust it

[kind imp]

And after rock smash he does bulldoze

So you move four times before he moves twice too

I think I did that in some of my charm clears

[rocky oasis]

used ss erika vs regi

[river cliff]

Who did you use her with? I'm thinking about doing that

[karmic willow]

has to be a flincher

[rocky oasis]

perrserker

nuke bar 1 w/ only +2 atk

lets you have a sync ready to nuke bar 2 on entry

you can get close to OHKOing it

then hope for a flinch or quadqueue

needs 1 sun mpr

[rocky oasis]

huh i forgot petey could sleep chain

[river cliff]

I maybe should have done that in hindsight instead of torturing myself with a Viola clear

[inner turret]

The kind of clear nobody will replicate because it costs +12E

[river cliff]

+10e Whitney is the truth

[rocky oasis]

i did drasna / tl leaf

it was miserable

my tl leaf is also +2

ex 1/5 drasna btw

even 2/5 would make it less awful

[river cliff]

I still need to find a place for Drasna. She's so squishy

[rocky oasis]

dont do the tl duo

unless you have her at 2+/5

[river cliff]

I have her at 2/5 but Leaf already went to Regirock

Though I'm kind of out of good supports for her so she might just be getting benched this time around

Although...

[pearl beacon]

Some more comfy duos from today

Also triple pika

[karmic willow]

love that uxie duo

99 baybeeee

How come not chase solo?

[inner turret]

1/5

[mint osprey]

That one pika looks off
