Exchange Rival (Event) will be permanent and its mechanics Quest are quite similar to the Battle Point Challenge. However, it will change opponents daily

[blissful rose]

He mentioned change opponents daily, could be one or more I guess.

[median swan]

but how soon will i get my dc wally

[blissful rose]

Same, I want him too.

[rotund rain]

I'm debating who I should pick first

[blissful rose]

Watch we get daily 10 tickets and take 30 days to get one character.

[rotund rain]

I'm thinking Gladion because Weavile is my favourite gen 4 Pokemon

[blissful rose]

These are the rivals we can challenged. (basically all of them)

And we know their weaknesses.

[median swan]

the absolute dream gamemode omg

[bitter gate]

why do they love you so much mud

[median swan]

if i was really a dena intern wally would've gotten that damn nc alt already

[bitter gate]

patience

it's probably coming soon anyhow

but yeah, idt this wally solos anything outside of base latios

did base wally solo anything

[median swan]

also that's only 16 rivals coz it's the 16 playable ones, are they waiting for trevor for the last weakness

or kieran

[median swan]

he hasn't

[bitter gate]

unfort

[inner turret]

he hasn't yet

[bitter gate]

well, new wally has extensive gimmick coverage

in paralysis + debuffs

but doesn't seem like solo material

its hugh I think who can solo more than one

[median swan]

yeah great kit but he needs a partner

[bitter gate]

he has MPR hit and heal and can do some fishing + debuffs

[median swan]

there's some potential for gladion too i think with double unfortunate strike

[bitter gate]

also why does dena have a habit of making offensive sinnoh pokemon defensive

I see Gladion doing the most solos

but even then not too many

he'll run into gauge issues without FT

[median swan]

no offensive buffs is annoying too

[bitter gate]

probably the unit that will require the most scrutiny this batch is uhh

avery

his gauge looks like a complete disaster tho

[median swan]

he has free move next under wtz

oh wait is it just when he sets it up

nvm lol

[bitter gate]

only when it sets it up, yes

not when he does something underneath it

he's gonna have to either blitz or hope he gets really lucky with gauge

[blissful rose]

In this mode, these are the Pokemon paired up with their respective trainers besides the existing ones:
Bede - Mawile, Rapidash (Galarian Form)
N - Archeops
Tierno - Talonflame
Shauna - Goodra, Sylveon
Hop - Dubwool, Corviknight, Pincurchin
Blue - Rhydon, Alakazam
Barry - Staraptor, Floatzel
Bianca - Chandelure, Mienshao
Hau - Crabominable
Cheren - Liepard, Gigalith
Silver - Gengar, Crobat
Gladion - Crobat

We can expect these to come out someday whether it's free or a banner unit.

[median swan]

it follows their in-game teams

[bitter gate]

cyrus expansion is...very QoL

it makes most of his solos a lot less miserable, but that's probably it

[blissful rose]

Umbral Healing is already a win for me along with the FIeld EXR.

[bitter gate]

it mostly lets him do uxie

and maybe regi, if you know how to just brute force the following bars

idt it helps him with anything else

[worthy horizon]

still a very very very welcome upgrade for me, i like ss cyrus as a concept but dislike his solos

[stuck mantle]

5/5 zone extension is very nice

[karmic willow]

YOOOOOO

this is good

[worthy horizon]

first time i went to pity just for dupes collection

only other time i can think of was ss lysandre

[karmic willow]

but damn

@median swan god a whole new game mode

I got Rosa's Reasons on the PR side of things

Now for the real question is

damn can i get something like Trainer Lodge 2.0?

I wanna do more than talk

[stuck mantle]

So get all 5 sync pair will take alot time

And they add new ass well since we have all rivals units in challenge

Mode for skipp he sure happy🥰

[blissful rose]

Example of DC shop exchange:

[rocky oasis]

how much per day?

[worthy horizon]

man just off kabu lodge and ss cyrus buff i actually got a lot more than i could have expected or asked for even if that's basically nearly nothing lol

[blissful rose]

No idea, that info is not disclosed yet.

[worthy horizon]

people have no idea how janky kabu is and having such a defensive trapper is huge

[lost juniper]

Regi is certainly doable now

[worthy horizon]

and gets the opportunity for more solos than the base unit lol

[median swan]

he kinda reminds me of a more defensive viawe

[karmic willow]

ya

[bitter gate]

probably, it mostly depends on getting aggravation

grinding the first bars

[rocky oasis]

anyone else not have ryuki for some reason

[bitter gate]

and lasting until the lats bar to just pop it

etc

[rocky oasis]

for some reason ive never rolled him

[worthy horizon]

me

[lost juniper]

He should stall Bar 1

And with dark zone it's a lot more doable

[worthy horizon]

but i haven't pulled much since his release

[bitter gate]

ye, just stall it, save the sync for the next bar

[rocky oasis]

ryuki would have been noce for uxie

[bitter gate]

hopefully blow it up or chunk it hard

then flinch and blow up the last want

uxie is mostly idk

[lost juniper]

Bar 3 is a matter of surviving long enough

[bitter gate]

debuff gaming

withn umbral healing

lol

[lost juniper]

It's doable. Especially since you can probably run stoic now on him

EX R is probably required for extra speed and stats

[worthy horizon]

also i'm glad to see so many more field options

[karmic willow]

anti terrakion

[rocky oasis]

huh the new wally would have been amazing vs terrak and uxie

lots of debuff on that bird

[worthy horizon]

anti-moltres too for the weather units though to a lesser extent maybe with how demanding moltres is

wtz does just buff everything everywhere in general anyway

[stuck mantle]

Will take alot time befor we can get all off them

And 3/5 move lv too

Sure be limit per day entry

[rocky oasis]

the whales will have them 3/5 asap

[stuck mantle]

Or who have alot alts accounts too

Can same day have 5/5

Not issue

And do solo

[rocky oasis]

hopefully we get them faster than the bp 5*

[stuck mantle]

Dont belive it

Would be too easy

Bp if you dont bundles it take forever

If this is free mode no gems use no hope it will be soo fast and easy

[blissful rose]

Still do not have Olympia, Ryuki and Tierno.

Praying for Tix update during anni.

[lost juniper]

Pretty sure it will

[stuck mantle]

You think hyper it will be easy get this voucher for exchange?

300 for 1 copy sound small

But how mutch we will gain per day:) 1-10?

[rocky oasis]

new gladion feels like a budget ss silver w/ zone

idk how he will be in practice but thats just going off vibes

[stuck mantle]

Gladion have passive low sts like silver in grid?

[rocky oasis]

plus ice zone healing

[lost juniper]

I sure hope so

No N unit there so I have no rush

[rocky oasis]

no offensive buffs tho it seems

[stuck mantle]

Do we have sync grids?

Already?

[rocky oasis]

https://pokemon.brybry.ch/masters/duo.html?pair=10147000001#

interesting thing on hugh

evasiveness

[median swan]

only works on growl tho

[rocky oasis]

does seem that it doesnt need growl to be successful

[median swan]

oh that'll be great if that's the case

coz growl spam is probably better for him haha

[rocky oasis]

idk how itd affect gauge

he doeshave rejuv 6

its gonna be interesting for sure

[lost juniper]

Hugh will definitely get some solos

[median swan]

with regen on his tm he probably doesn't have to worry if he sticks to growl

[lost juniper]

Debuffs, evasion and healing will help a lot

[median swan]

wow i was actually not too happy with hugh's kit at first glance but if this really does work even if growl fails then he's definitely the one to watch solo wise

[bitter gate]

yeah he can just evasion fish

and even if he can't barricade hit and heal and fast anims

still help

[rocky oasis]

the most obnoxious part will be getting mprs

marnie looks like straight dmg + debuffs

she has mini potion i guess

and dark zone ofc

she's kinda bland imo

[quaint tartan]

In my next life I wanna be skippingmud today just to feel the happiness of the man

[rocky oasis]

nemona can flinch and debuff atk? sure why not

[stuck mantle]

Marnie best gurl power up

[rocky oasis]

nemona is ok i guess

kabu is ok i gues

probably enough to solo uxie

[karmic willow]

Terrakion

[mint osprey]

Too bad they won't be available for this LG

[shy sinew]

dropping five new characters on the last day of LG that nobody knew about would just be evil ngl

[robust nymph]

Bring back LG being in the second half of the month

[shy sinew]

or even better, give us the next bosses when leaderboard is published

[dense leaf]

I will only do 69 I said, maybe 75 because I want the top 500 badge I said. I went to 100
I really did some crazy overkill stuff, still have lots of things but I want to rest

[true tartan]

don't tell anyone, but pomatools have been updated

[heavy sinew]

Need her

[bitter gate]

idt she's a very LG centric unit

even though on paper she has the tools

she can however alternate between having free gauge, healing, and debuffing as desired

[heavy sinew]

I just think she's neat

[shy sinew]

goated for getting this done so soon

Klara is tentatively my one skip next month though it is also nice not needing to pull on rerun banners at all for once (idk I’ll probably grab more CyruSS copies or something)

[blissful rose]

22770 gems from this update not including the remaining of Lear event apparently.

[inner turret]

goat

[dawn plume]

feels like she really needs a support like c rosa elaine or iono who constantly buffs pmun/smun

otherwise her b move wont see much use

[inner turret]

every other turn

[dawn plume]

oh im stupid

[scenic bolt]

So

There is no arven

Right?

So I can go for bianca?

[shy sinew]

there is no Arven

[scenic bolt]

Okay then

Time for venti

[dawn plume]

dis whole month a skip for me

means i gotta skip cheren too

but anni too soon

[inner turret]

@pearl beacon come in dm whenever you can plz

[tender horizon]

Difficult

Who tf was able to do Naomi Acerola duo

[heavy sinew]

Gonna be me

[dawn plume]

has this been discussed lmao

wild

like she needed MORE healing

[lost juniper]

You can never have too much lol

[inner turret]

it's not that great

she wants to run sharp entry

unless you don't solo then sure

[dawn plume]

i usually run her w 1/5 classic blue lol

i dont like her solos

[heavy sinew]

MORE healing

YES

MORE

[pearl beacon]

[rocky oasis]

sharp entry or def crush

depending on which

[pearl beacon]

Ye I got DC2 SharpEntry and Wise Entry

[rocky oasis]

the only solo where she has room for more healing is latios i think

[dawn plume]

i think imma finish at 96 lol i can easily do more but i am not motivated and wanna dig through the datamine more

i used 183/383 of my sync pairs including eggs

not even half

o well

[rocky oasis]

first lg where i got lower than last round

and somehow still was top 50

[dawn plume]

im not dropping below top 500 and not hitting top 100

so imma just sit where i am

[rocky oasis]

96 is pretty good when 2/3 of them are so miserable

[bitter gate]

what is the current cut anyway

I think my ass is kicked out by now but i never bothered to check

[dawn plume]

96 with 183 used a solid ratio

i will take that

[sturdy steeple]

lana prefers other lucky skills

shes not lacking on healing, and if she is, its because the stage buffs defense or shields that require crit

[shy sinew]

current cut is like 126 or 127 I think, ik you and bicio are just pushed out atm

[bitter gate]

im at 123

with a streak of 122

kek

[blissful rose]

So you are telling me I could go Top 100 again if I kept playing for the remaining time left?

[tender horizon]

Weirdass teams at the end of my streak

[bitter gate]

dew it

[blissful rose]

Tempting but lazy.

[tender horizon]

Turns out

Im rank 64

[dawn plume]

yeah i wanna make the excuse that i was busy but i really wasnt any busier than usual this lg i was just lazy and spent a lot of time watching twitch streams instead of playing 💀

[blissful rose]

Wouldn't that be the best time to play by having the stream on another monitor?

[dawn plume]

yes but i get absorbed in the stream and forget to look at my phone

adhd moment

[worthy horizon]

i think i spent most of my time playing gauntlet watching twitch streams at the same time hehe

i need so much to not be completely bored

[sturdy steeple]

i watch a hundred youtube video essays during LG season

need that background noise

[sturdy steeple]

mood i tried to watch jerma vods while doing streaks but hes too damn funny he pulled my attention away too much

[true tartan]

what's gauntlet?

(me at 2 clears)

[karmic willow]

Not even @sturdy steeple can

Lol. It is tough as balls

I uhhh

Almost did it

Got to bar 3

Was feeling tough until

Didn't flinch the entry Earthquake

Even with Vigilance and gear she dies from full health lol

[karmic willow]

Yes

[karmic willow]

Why do i want to see things like condition nulification again

[worthy horizon]

yeah she was so frail vs registeel that i steered completely clear of that duo and didn't do a single attempt

[karmic willow]

Weirdly enough fall acerola and whitney eats it

I found out this season.... Just know that acerola does need 3/5 to pull it off 😦

[karmic willow]

I actually did that duo on registeel

Funnily enough

Dc2 Acerola man

That was something

[worthy horizon]

i feel like most people here did and i didn't even get that one done

[dawn plume]

i did that duo on registeel too it wasnt fun

on terrakion sounds like an extra level of nightmare

one hit and you're done

[worthy horizon]

i'm also still surprised anyone thought ingo/hapu was a good idea with how much luck that one requires lol

[karmic willow]

I uhhh

[worthy horizon]

and more than one person got that done

[karmic willow]

Did that duo

Actually

[worthy horizon]

three now

[karmic willow]

I mean it was

Pretty good

In it's own way

You have

Dodge protection

Friggin ingo

Like if he is gonna carry anything

It's probably something like hapu

Not to mention like

The faster acc drop

The attack maxxing

[worthy horizon]

yeah it's ideal if you can pull it off for sure

[karmic willow]

At first i even thought about

May and Hapu

I mean nukes are good but the second that earth power hits it's over

[scenic bolt]

I feel that

Not for lg specifically but still

[karmic willow]

For gauntlet this time tho

I don't have video essays or anything

Just

The game

Me

A N D T H E R A G E

my god i complained here so much this time

[worthy horizon]

it is the rng grinds where i can very comfortably multitask though

[karmic willow]

Dumb regirock

But of course

This is also the season where

I did the most autos

Like guzma on rock

"just auto lol" i said

[shy sinew]

ah top 100 is 131 now guess I will need 140 after all

[karmic willow]

Also

Props to

Guys who rolled sharp 1 on jas

You can remove it now

Idk what her best trio would be

Probably

Interference immune

Wise 2

And speedy 2

?

[worthy horizon]

i'd think wise 2 healthy healing and flex spot

i haven't made use of speedy yet

[cursive briar]

How long is the streak for top 1k rn?

[karmic willow]

The trifecta

[scenic bolt]

Gets crit

[worthy horizon]

i've never not used grid vigilance on hilbert

[karmic willow]

The funny

[worthy horizon]

maybe the only tank that doesn't have vigilance as a permanent passive that i never run vigilance on

[karmic willow]

Well

There is the grid option and

Idk if he needs anything else

Slippery?

[karmic willow]

But yeah

One day all of my flinchers will have status immunity

Because damn you entei

[sturdy steeple]

tm shielded is nice on hilbert

[worthy horizon]

and i only remembered super recently dana has permanent vigilance so i had vigilance ls sitting there

though i mostly ran fast track

[karmic willow]

Some do rb4 too hmmm

[worthy horizon]

yeah i actually should get that on there

[karmic willow]

What am I cooking even

Sure as hell never taking pinpoint 2 off

This one though....

[dawn plume]

😭

no ww3

pain

[karmic willow]

The general

The entei duo

And the torn duo

[karmic willow]

Gimme more cookies

It took me so much just for things like Archie to REGAIN it

Now this.... This is funny

Screw you Moltress

I am petty as hell against it

[dense yew]

Ya know what screw it I made it to 101 wins and I’m done. I can go further but I hate team building for this mode so much sometimes. I’ll aim for a top 100 score when the team reqs aren’t nearly as bad.

[worthy horizon]

gg

[karmic willow]

Entei?

Lucy?

Nah

Status immune the goat

[karmic willow]

Good luck next time

For all of us

[worthy horizon]

man i've been farming for days and i wouldn't pre-roll deluxe skills this much lol

[karmic willow]

Saves a lot of time during gauntlet

Trust me

I know

[worthy horizon]

i do have way less units to manage

on top of not being close to using my full roster

[karmic willow]

Any unit with dc9

Will get mg2 from me

The anti registeel / latias tech

So yeah lol rip ww3 on emmet

You were good but uhh

General use

Latios solo

And bane of registeel

[dense yew]

I think I need to farm up a lot of the deluxe cookies next time because I’m so dry on them. What’s the best way just have a couple auto teams?

[karmic willow]

Yes

Don't worry though

After a few more seasons

You will be drowning in them

[worthy horizon]

the longer streak you have the higher deluxe rate you get

[karmic willow]

If you always get top 100 and stuff

I still have to 100% my roster with vigilance

Ugh

[worthy horizon]

we just had tornadus and terrakion and i'd imagine all the rest don't require vigilance on non-tanks as much

but idk i'm not super experienced

and regirock

[dawn plume]

i was gonna say new gladion seems good for solos but then i saw he doesn't buff his own offenses at ALL

[dense yew]

This combo really just had too many specifics. I felt like for every team I needed a support to buff defenses for Rock and Uxie, and then Terrakion I just had to find some cheese every time lol

[worthy horizon]

yeah if they do end up throwing moltres and latias in the next gauntlet that would be particularly cruel

[dense yew]

Literally me trying to use Wallace. I thought it was good at first for Uxie and then realized wow he can’t buff a single thing! Same for NY Dawn but that’s moreso because I’m at 1/5 I’d assume she gets stuff at 3/5 for buffing.

[worthy horizon]

those are the two that we've gone the longest without

[heavy sinew]

Jerma mentioned

[worthy horizon]

barring raikou and cresselia which we've never seen

[heavy sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/me-eating-bees-eating-bees-jerma-bees-bee-gif-15519371837246667991

[dawn plume]

gladion can buff his defenses just not offenses

but yeah wallace is uh

not good

lol i never used nc serena or calem

[dawn plume]

whoops

[karmic willow]

Let's go

Another trifecta

[worthy horizon]

recup 2 is nice but he does need a lot of help on buffs

[dawn plume]

i havent done rally this week LOL whoops

damn you gauntlet

[worthy horizon]

i delayed rally in favor of farming

[dense yew]

I haven’t either. I’m probably gonna start soon seeing as I’ve given up

[worthy horizon]

i'm a bit paranoid but that helps me not be reliant on luck

[heavy sinew]

I delayed everything

[dense yew]

Can’t wait for the next arbitrary grind for top 100 in like 2-3 weeks lol… I’m hoping so badly that I get lucky pulling Akari I wanna save for anni so bad but I really want her and wanna do good in HSE

[karmic willow]

Even ww3 is not that good anymore...

Anti moltress

The overalls

And anti registeel / damage option

[worthy horizon]

we should get at least a full month rest or that's the usual amount i think

[karmic willow]

I wish we can get

One more lucky slot

So i can put stuff like

Ww3 back

But yeah

Archie do be

One of the few ones i remember having ww3 on

Along with

Ss erika

And Naomi

Ugh

[dawn plume]

lmfao ub noland has piercing gaze and fissure they really just do not gaf anymore

[karmic willow]

Maybe Zinnia too

[karmic willow]

Wtf

[heavy sinew]

repeat that

[karmic willow]

Wait

[inner turret]

and he uses it turn 1

[karmic willow]

What is ub noland again?

[dawn plume]

i doubt he uses it turn 1

[worthy horizon]

he's supposed to have pretty low health i've heard

[thick dawn]

i like this solely for the fact that it is really hard to find partners for +6 atk or sp. atk eggmons lol

[heavy sinew]

1 hp aoe fissure

[inner turret]

His 1st move slot is fissure, I think he uses it turn 1

[dawn plume]

yeah his hp is lower than other ubs

[worthy horizon]

palmer has an instant team wipe as well anyway which also has spread

[dense yew]

I guess. WW3 kinda became kinda obsolete on the two of them since they themselves became obsolete. Outside of them SS Erika and now Dahlia. I can’t really think of many other units who really benefit from it outside of the infinate weather setters like Summer Steven or Silver.

[dawn plume]

i mean we all saw the hippowdon sandstorms but they only ended up using them after landorus dropped

[worthy horizon]

they might actually be trying to force duos

[dawn plume]

we cant say for certain when he will use fissure

[heavy sinew]

Turn 0

[dawn plume]

lmfao

"gtfo of my battle NOW"

i skipped nc cheren hopefully 1/5 exr ethan is enough

[inner turret]

he doesn't have crit either

[thick dawn]

i see

im ngl i have not seen like any of the kits yet except acerola lol

[dawn plume]

he's purely a defensive debuffer

[dawn plume]

who sets ice zone

[inner turret]

i havent looked into them either

[karmic willow]

I will never take pinpoint 2 out on units that can mega

[dense yew]

I haven’t seen any. Where can we see them?

[dawn plume]

they are on pomatools

[thick dawn]

^

[dense yew]

Really? I looked just a little bit ago and it didn’t update for me

I’ll try again maybe I missed it by a little or it just didn’t recognize there was one

[dawn plume]

wait they're all debuffers LMAO

oops! all debuffers

[tender horizon]

Bij leavanny quitting when theres 4% hp left

[dawn plume]

wally: debuff def/sp def, atk/sp atk on grid
hugh: debuff atk/sp atk/speed
gladion: random debuffs per hit
marnie: debuff def/sp def/speed
nemona: debuff def, atk on grid

[heavy sinew]

I think I like gladion more

[dawn plume]

gladion cant buff his offenses at all which is hilarious and also sad

[inner turret]

wally also speed on grid

[dawn plume]

he will need support

oh i missed wally having speed debuffs on grid

wtf he can debuff all 5 main stats

[inner turret]

and has paralysis

kinda insane to me

not solo material but really good for duos on most LAs

[tender horizon]

I mean

[worthy horizon]

at a glance i do believe he gets latios and tornadus

[tender horizon]

They are 5 stars, it will take forever to get 3/5 grids

Its like BP tickets

[dawn plume]

not NEARLY as long

[olive swift]

i forgot about this

[bitter gate]

also we don't get

the uhh

[dawn plume]

seems like it can be farmed indefinitely

[bitter gate]

specific candies

we have overalls tho

[inner turret]

"Gladion, Hugh, Marnie, Nemona & Wally can be obtained for 300 Training Ticket for a maximum of 5 times each." we'll see how many we get in a run

[shy sinew]

if there’s one thing I learned from farming lucky scrolls it’s the the amount per run matters way less than the amount of time you’re willing to put in if it is truly indefinite

[dawn plume]

i imagine people are gonna be gravitated towards nemona since she has rock zone and is a paldea unit both of which haven’t been made available f2p before but her kit honestly seems on the weaker side

[worthy horizon]

i have no idea which one i'm choosing yet

haven't even seen all the sets yet

[dawn plume]

might get wally first

he seems to have the most utility

[inner turret]

i think i'm picking wally

gladion last prob

[olive swift]

hugh first

less sprints than fields

[inner turret]

oh yeah hugh also has SpD debuffs

they are kings of debuff i swear

[tender horizon]

First time Locked on Sync with Hapoo

Giving out participation prizes now because it is endgame

[eternal hill]

53 wins, and finally entered the top 1000, my personal objective. Still have plenty of pairs to ensure the title

[karmic willow]

@spare moth wait remind me again when you can run GG sets

[rocky oasis]

gl

terrakion is evil and so is regi

[eternal hill]

very evil indeed

[karmic willow]

both are

both regis

[drifting talon]

quaggles spotted 🫵

[karmic willow]

sniped

[dawn plume]

variety thorton regirock solo is what made me call it quits lmao

lost on bar 3 like 5 times

realized i do not wish to continue this

[tender horizon]

Mood when teams look cringier and cringier

[tender horizon]

Tht was super easy for me

[bright brook]

I think that might be it for me

So many leftovers...

[median swan]

wooo congrats!!

[bright brook]

ty ty

[quaint tartan]

Gg!

[bright brook]

okay i just pulled kabu off dailies so managed to get one more, but i'm stopping here

[worthy horizon]

nice

[lost juniper]

I might could've reached top 20 if I had more time, but I doubt I can now

[bright brook]

to be fair, i dont think im making top 20 even with a streak of 209

just gotta hope, ive been noticing the super fast paced push the last few hours

[rocky oasis]

https://youtu.be/_vxyzA4Bw_c?si=2KA3ZrhHbONovFo7

idk how many of these are new

im tired

lg needs a 1 week extension by this point

its just too exhausting pushing for 150+ clears

[river cliff]

I'd legit be happy if they just kept it up indefinitely with maybe a week downtime between each rotation

[rocky oasis]

nah thats too much self flagellation for me

[tender horizon]

I reached the end, Yes!

Participation award for Iris

Thank you Stdk for posting the summaries

the 6 day reply

[drifting talon]

I can't do the Marlon and Kris clear.

I'm not having luck with my flinches

[dawn plume]

so summer acerola is gonna be another 13/14 unit right

this is just rika 2

[worthy horizon]

i'm more wondering if we should even rule out 14/14

[dawn plume]

not with moltres's healing and debuff immunity

[lost juniper]

How 13/14

[dawn plume]

her kit is just rika but instead of recuperation they gave her recover mpr3

and a passive that gives her regen every time she uses recover

[worthy horizon]

so much healing

[dawn plume]

also has staggering 3

if she needs it

[worthy horizon]

yeah makes moltres worth even considering

if i hadn't known c bianca got moltres i'd think s acerola stands a better chance

[dawn plume]

i'd like her odds better if she did any sort of damage, moltres will likely outheal it all

with healing sun

permaflinch is technically on the table i guess

[heavy sinew]

her only move is water gun right?

Attacking?

[worthy horizon]

and 2 use bmove

[dawn plume]

you use her bmove right at the start realistically

[heavy sinew]

rip

[dawn plume]

cuz all it does is give +2 to the 5 main stats to the whole team

only 2 uses means she will be stuck at +4 def/sp def

which is a bit of a shame

but with her healing it shouldnt be too bad

[heavy sinew]

+2 crit mandatory or nah?

[dawn plume]

she will probably want crit esp on like raikou

[heavy sinew]

can't really get everything then

Unless you switch stat immunity for flameproof ls and risk crits

[dawn plume]

hmm

[worthy horizon]

i would do that yeah

[dawn plume]

yeah it'd be nice if she had vigilance on grid like rika does

[heavy sinew]

Impervious absolutely required

staggering is debatable

[lost juniper]

I doubt Acerola would get that many solos

Her damage is too low and recover mpr is worse than recup

Rika can at least abuse her quick animations to heal quickly

[worthy horizon]

i don't think staggering is debatable for moltres

[lost juniper]

She ain't getting Moltres

No chance

[heavy sinew]

I think she has a shot

[dawn plume]

i do not!

[worthy horizon]

but it'd be cool

[lost juniper]

I mean, I'll be glad for you to prove me wrong

[heavy sinew]

I'm not pulling for her just to prove a point lmao

[lost juniper]

Maybe someone with 5/5 EX R +10E like Adam could do it lol

[lost juniper]

Neither am I

[shy sinew]

as long as the odds are there there technically is a shot right? admittedly a bit unrealistically

[worthy horizon]

yeah idk who's pulling

[lost juniper]

Technically Brendan has a shot at soloing Moltres

If every move flinches that is

[heavy sinew]

I mean sycamore is close to beating it too

just out heal and don't get crit

[lost juniper]

Sycamore has way better healing

[worthy horizon]

i just know there are 0 people out there who thought the lysandre solo on moltres would be possible until i did it

[shy sinew]

I'll get acerola to 3/5 but I don't have the skill to get the moltres solo off water gun dps

[dawn plume]

lysandre can do damage is the thing

[lost juniper]

True. I myself lowered solos that people thought were impossible

[dawn plume]

you need to do some sort of damage to beat moltres or it will outheal

or change weather obv in ingo's case

[heavy sinew]

the damage range between Lysandre and acerola is quite significant so

Dare i say

Big

[lost juniper]

Acerola does hit super effectively in Bar 2 which is the most dangerous one

[worthy horizon]

the point is more i don't know rather than me wanting to declare for certain one way or the other

i'd want to leave the possibility open

i don't think the alternative is very interesting

[heavy sinew]

Fair point

There's probably some Japanese out there crazy enough to do it

[shy sinew]

thinking of this gauntlet, do we think 144 is going to be safe for top 100? I'm struggling on Regirock clears and the only one I see left in my remaining roster is the Elaine solo and I'd like to end this gauntlet on a good note by bullying my undoing for the last 60 clears

currently at 141 and I can figure something out for terrakion for sure

[median swan]

cutoff is at 133 right now so i think 144 should be safe?

it'll probably end up in the high 130s or low 140s

[sharp lichen]

dang what happened to nitsuagamer he hasnt posted stealing15 in a while

[shy sinew]

nitsua was server banned I believe (that’s all I know)

[worthy horizon]

ye

[sharp lichen]

dang

[shy sinew]

yeah that's my thought but I am worried about how clustered together ranks 70-115 are

[scenic bolt]

Damn wut

[drifting talon]

since when??

[worthy horizon]

since before this gauntlet

[mint osprey]

I remember him grabbing teams here and there

[sturdy steeple]

she gets a net total of 100% healing per recover, and has mpr3, while debuffing offensive stats and having team fist bump 9. her healing is reallllyyy good

[lost juniper]

Guess I'll just see how she fares then

I assume you'll get her?

[sturdy steeple]

shes support so yasss

[dawn plume]

oh right i was gonna candy rika if there were no good supports i wanted this month

i don't really pull for seasonals in general so

candy time

[sturdy steeple]

shes still likely worth it yass

[dawn plume]

we ball

[heavy sinew]

W

[heavy sinew]

Also W

[lost juniper]

Based

Had to use Sharp Entry 1 on SC Ingo because I'm running out of supports. On Regirock

[pliant glen]

Really didn't feel like doing Gauntlet this time, hopefully August will be better. Still made a video of 6 Terrakion autos for the sake of it.

[worthy horizon]

yea tons of people just gave up on this one

#245 at 101 now but it was nice to get so close to touching top 50 at my peak

not sure i'll get to see that happen again

[lost juniper]

Not enough though to make me top 20

[dawn plume]

she is so awesome

also caked bianca she has earned it

[sturdy steeple]

this month was a W for supportive cakes like field and support

gardenia with support is really good for her

cyrus and lyra obvious wins

[dawn plume]

i'm def caking cyrus and lyra

[heavy sinew]

unfortunately agreed

[dawn plume]

i think i've caked every field exr unit i have lol

thats just sst red ss ethan ss morty and rika

[sturdy steeple]

also greta field r with base sprint which is the optimal combo of those two

gretas kinda a zzz unit tho (not because of spore, shes just boring)

[chrome halo]

Literally poke fair ramos

[dawn plume]

lmao wait actually

if she just spams spore its basically fortuitous 9

[sturdy steeple]

but she needs dupes to actuall enable her own chain

oh wait, the passive doesnt require the move to be successful

[dawn plume]

yea just use the move

its p good

you sick bastards

[sturdy steeple]

this is so fucked up

literally evil

guarenteed triple has to be the worst passive of all time

[dawn plume]

LMAO i just realized it's a 5/5 tile too

what are they cooking

[shy sinew]

well I think it’s time for me to stop my streak since I think I’m quite safe here. Glad I ended with the Elaine Regirock solo which is so easy at 70 energy. In a gauntlet where I felt hardly any motivation to push to 100 I turned it around and ended up improving my PB by 23 clears somehow. Thanks everyone here for the motivation (now I need to start trying to match everyone else’s skill as I feel I’m still behind on the skill front)

also hi @pearl beacon ig glad to see we pushed together

[sturdy steeple]

good work!

[heavy sinew]

W

[full pond]

added icons to the drive for all the doc makers out there

[shy sinew]

I leave every LG having played with a bunch of sync pairs I don't get to use too often and I want to EX so many of them, is this a normal feeling?

[sturdy steeple]

yes indeed

theres always future LGs to improve and challenge with more units and higher invested units

[shy sinew]

dena just doesn't understand that I only get 85 champion spirits a week and that's not enough to catch up to you all

[sturdy steeple]

i run out of spirits every LG month and i have nearly 250 ex'd units

[shy sinew]

but alas I'll just complain about not having a lot of songs to theme the music on each of my clears

[sturdy steeple]

we need more spirits 😭

but dont worry about trying to "catch up"

just do what you can and invest in what you personally wanna invest in

LG isnt about competing with others, its competing with yourself, challenging what you and your account can do and how much dedication you put into it

[kind imp]

i just got the 4th year title but i only have 98 EXs bc for a while i didn't bother cs

so i see a lot of clears i can't replicate bc i need ex and then i suck at teambuilding

[cedar pawn]

Got one last Auto run in. Made my goal of 1,200+ 3* Deluxe

[dawn plume]

i need to EX more units

i have the materials i just dont do it lol

[worthy horizon]

being at 1/4th of that would be massive for me

[scenic bolt]

Who has this

And why

Reminds me of giving calem it instead of no quarter like cerena has

Clear bias

[worthy horizon]

greta 5/5 tile

[scenic bolt]

Breh

What’s her multihut

[worthy horizon]

bullet seed

[scenic bolt]

Sad

Just give it no quarter

[chrome halo]

Looks how op V Lorelei's healing so that's probably the reason they didnt give him No Quarter

[jade ore]

Bestie V Lorelei was 4 months after

[dawn plume]

v lorelei was after c calem yeah lol

[sturdy steeple]

pull 4 extra dupes of greta for a minimum of an extra 18 base power per bullet seed attack!

[shy sinew]

oh yea there's a recharging strike tile there in the opposite corner

[sturdy steeple]

and yet she still fails to heal at the most desperate of moments

[dawn plume]

maybe one day they will add sprint/field coins to bp rewards/lodge login bonus

[jade ore]

It would be a nice move

[mint osprey]

This LG is brutal since there is no "easy" stage

If Uxie didn't smack you around with Iron Tail, I would say it's easy.

[chrome halo]

Oh was she??? I feel like the variety E4 Kanto was long ago sob

[jade ore]

Yeah

[scenic bolt]

I want them to toss me 3 Omni candies for anni

Or 3 candies for every role

[jade ore]

NC Calem is just 2022 now

[mint osprey]

That tail just hits extremely hard for whatever reason

[scenic bolt]

I’m not being greedy wdym

[jade ore]

Hmmmm

No.

[chrome halo]

I feel old now

[scenic bolt]

Crazy to think about cerena is so strong and so old

[mint osprey]

I am ending my streak at 30. Time to auto to recupe

[jade ore]

Putting Sprint/Field candy coins in the BP reward tiers is something they reasonably could do is all

[scenic bolt]

Serena has so much privilege

[jade ore]

Like, replace the 3* PUs or something

[chrome halo]

SST Red is more op than her and he was released 3 moths before her lol

[mint osprey]

It's mostly because NC Calem sucks. And I want no "but" on this

[worthy horizon]

next anni

[scenic bolt]

Wait wut

[jade ore]

One of my favorite supports still

[scenic bolt]

I wasn’t talking about calem at all

[jade ore]

3rd anni bestie

[mint osprey]

They are released in the same period but Calem aged badly

[chrome halo]

Next month is the time i invest in 3/5 anni Skyla and V Thorton. Surely they will be great for LG right

[scenic bolt]

I thought frogs were bfefore anni

[jade ore]

Nope

December 2022

Pre anni was johtrio

[scenic bolt]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-changing-the-clock-changing-the-time-kitty-cat-cute-gif-17202806

Where does the time go

[jade ore]

VThorton do be kinda fun ngl

[scenic bolt]

The not a field field unit

[jade ore]

Fair and Balanced infinite free move staggering 4

[chrome halo]

If this month gave more than 2 field coins i could candy him immediately

[jade ore]

Yeah that was a move of all time

Literally only monthly exchange and poma day

[dawn plume]

wait are there actually only 2 field coins this month lmfao

[jade ore]

Yep

[chrome halo]

Next month gives 4 coins, still bad but at least its more than 2

[sturdy steeple]

😭

[jade ore]

Its depressing. And hilarious.

[dawn plume]

1 for each limited field pair!

hey if you pull for gardenia you can get 3 more!!!

[scenic bolt]

So true

Why not just pull for another copy while ur at it

[jade ore]

Real.

[chrome halo]

Sorry my gems are going to Akari after Bianca's pity

[scenic bolt]

Arven gonna be next month

[jade ore]

Same tbh

[scenic bolt]

Bloob

[chrome halo]

Arvenbait

[jade ore]

Akari and if she goes easy maybe I yolo for Klara

[chrome halo]

Sob

[median swan]

please dena

[scenic bolt]

Most likely

I’m gonna be fucking pissed if they make his kit mid

Because bait

[hollow ether]

Okay i'm done, so stressful this rotation, i did some trios randomly after streak 100 cuz i did nof have time & bad rng within me 😂

ggs everyone

[heavy sinew]

W

gg

[drifting talon]

why did they get banned out of curiosity?

[worthy horizon]

dunno and even if i did i probably couldn't discuss

[drifting talon]

Also how can i implement Ingo and Emmet? I'm assuming I'd use them on terrakion

[worthy horizon]

yea you could throw them there and see if that works

[shy sinew]

mine were getting destroyed at 1/5 but terrakion is their natural home and maybe I was just suffering from skill issue

[worthy horizon]

terrakion def requires a lot more than just wtz

and ingo isn't the best tank out there

[drifting talon]

should I put another pair on the team then?

[worthy horizon]

ye though you can attempt the duo first if you have higher move levels

[bright brook]

If your ingo is 3/5 that should work bc you could potion cheese

[drifting talon]

he is!

I think I tried Hapu, Emmet, and Ingo before but I still struggled

[worthy horizon]

prob want an atk/spa debuffer or sleeper or flincher that doesn't make gauge horrible

which all help a lot for anything terrakion related really

[drifting talon]

got it!

Acerola, Ingo, and Emmet worked great! Thank you!

[worthy horizon]

nice

[shadow solstice]

time to do some fast clears I've about an hour free before reset

where should i throw NC Bianca

(3/5)

[dawn plume]

her terrakion solo is pretty easy

slap vigilance, give her the right grid, and just spam sacred sword

[shadow solstice]

i don't really need to solo because time crunch but noted

thanks!

where's NC Cheren good?

just asking about my big meta units sorry

Rei 3/5 and also which arena for NC Blue

[dawn plume]

cheren is unfortunately rock weak so he's kinda stuck to uxie

but he's pretty good there, save his b move for bar 2 to negate the damage reduction with rebuff

rei i would personally go to regirock with a good defensive support. blue can go anywhere

[worthy horizon]

nc blue on terrakion will be time consuming

uxie could be too, you have to wait until second bar to sync

if you're looking at his solos

[shadow solstice]

oh wow that was a brain dead solo (nc bianca)

very nice

ah is cheren not good enough to nuke bar 2 just with the initial status change?

what do you do for bar 3

[shy sinew]

maybe if you have ex he can nuke but I duoed my 2/5 with cheryl and just didn't b move until bar 2

bar 3 is then a brute force

[shadow solstice]

right i have 3/5 ex

maybe I'll try nuking it but if not b move

[shy sinew]

maybe you can nuke and save b move until bar 3? he definitely does decent damage bar 3 if you aren't applying any status

[pearl beacon]

What a rush to dump units those two days
Press optimize -> remove a unit -> profit

But slowly getting back

[mint osprey]

DeNA, please give us an easy stage next time so I can auto faster

[thick topaz]

Am I getting this right?

Regirock needa no gimmicks.

Uxie need status cond and change

Terrakion requires WTZ

That's it right?

[dawn plume]

are you asking this 2 hrs and 15 minutes before gauntlet ends

every time

theres always one guy

[thick topaz]

Lol yeah gonma get my 10 streak and dip

Got more than enough time

[worthy horizon]

also atk/spa debuffs for terrak

[thick topaz]

Tysm!

[worthy horizon]

facing very boosted damage otherwise

[pearl beacon]

You can check the pins for a quick guide
Or here's a pic for quick planning
#1012311116778586182 message

For terrakion, just use a sleep unit as third
You are going to save so much pain if you need to rush clears

[thick topaz]

I read the pins

Was just making sure

Will try to slot in sleepers for Terra

[worthy horizon]

yep sleepers are massive and that one's the only one with no sleep limit

[pearl beacon]

He never gets immune

So you can constantly put him to sleep

[thick topaz]

Oh nice

[pearl beacon]

Forever

[thick topaz]

That's gonna be funny ngl

Thanks so much!!!

[pearl beacon]

🅰️2️⃣

[karmic willow]

Rosa carry let's go

But damn

Why energy ball

[pearl beacon]

I knew hyper beam was coming, that flinch lasted too much

Def not sure I could get 3 bars in time

But she has crit and 8 damn buffs

I kinda expected that to kill, probably left at 1 hp

[kind imp]

Morty is fcking stressful

[pearl beacon]

Ooof

Morty feels so uncomfortable to use, mine is 0/20 tho
Compared to like Fantina or Shauntal

[heavy sinew]

yea same here

[kind imp]

Same

Damage controlling is a pain

[heavy sinew]

phantom force my behated

[kind imp]

Gave him shadow ball mgr, shifty striker and rolled a silver cookie so it's easier to queue sync into bar 2

[lost juniper]

I'm done

185 clears is way more than I expected

[median swan]

yaaay congrats!!

[mint osprey]

I need to stop prostrating if I want higher streaks. Maybe next time

[river cliff]

This is the end for me. Had a lot of random pairs I threw on as thirds to make things easier towards the end since I didn't have any good plans for them

Probably the highest rank I'll ever get lol

[karmic willow]

Very epic to all

[river cliff]

Well fought

Can't say the same about our opponents

[heavy sinew]

disappointing end to a disappointing gauntlet run, kudos to everyone else tho

[pearl beacon]

Not the best time plus unfamiliar stage and hard rotation

I still need to check the datamine

Dropped the phone after reading Kabu is the next Lodge unit

[heavy sinew]

yea + it was just hard managing this and a tight schedule

sucks but it is what it is

[pearl beacon]

Nah is a good score, 50+ is farming enough stuff

[river cliff]

I had a lot of fun planning teams for this rotation, the execution was a completely different story

[pearl beacon]

I had runs with just 20

Terrakion execution is too wild

"This unit should survive"

Ded in two

Also everything I like is allergic to ground

[bright brook]

one thing i appreciate about terrak is that it doesnt queue instantly at the beginning giving you one turn to set up first, and it also makes it so that enough moves are used for the countdown of the first sync

everything else about terrak sucks

[heavy sinew]

rock smash

[pearl beacon]

Terra should not start with +2 atk, it's so unsettling when you have to: take a hit at +2 def or lower his atk first

[bright brook]

and +2 accuracy as well, like for coba we could do the "hope stone edge misses strat" but not this guy

[pearl beacon]

Ye, it knows it will get you anyway so no hurry

[pearl beacon]

Yup

[olive swift]

Brute force last minute...

[mint osprey]

40 minutes left

[gleaming cypress]

🏳️

I tried my best, top 3k should be secured

anyways time to autofarm

[bright brook]

30 mins left.

im hoping im still in top 20

[fading anvil]

I'm calling it. I was in top 3k but I slipped out of it by the end. I'm turning in my wins.

[pearl beacon]

Profitable free variety ticket 📈

[median swan]

you're definitely safe

meanwhile i'm hoping no one overtakes me in the next ~7 minutes lmao

[stuck mantle]

7m is one clear

If dont get unlucky

[eternal hill]

73 wins, somehow... Close to top 500, but felt good doing that amount of wins in this difficult LG

[stuck mantle]

Acerola 13/14 hmm

[pearl beacon]

Not even enough for tm reset
I think leaderboard is pretty much settled

[stuck mantle]

When get in 3 day i check wat she can do😛

[pearl beacon]

Jp poppong from nowhere

[worthy horizon]

yea acerola could get a very quick 13/14

[stuck mantle]

Jp always wait last time day and play

Wat is realy strange lok

[pearl beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/ninjas-snake-eyes-jump-attack-stealth-gif-21621745

[stuck mantle]

Why wait too end

Same hse last day 2 jp sneak top 20🙂‍↔️

Why wait 😂

[pearl beacon]

Surprise effect

[stuck mantle]

If you score you score nothing change it

I secure top100 7 day ago😂

[twin aurora]

Wish I’ll remain at top100, 30 kills for night

[stuck mantle]

And relax:)

[mint osprey]

One last auto. Good work to all grinders

[stuck mantle]

Good work all:)

Its over😋

[gleaming cypress]

gg y’all

[pearl beacon]

I like trying wacky teams early on my own terms bcs I got too much stuff at 1/5

[gleaming cypress]

it’s finally over

[pearl beacon]

Then dunping everything later

[stuck mantle]

So gardenia wat you think how many solos? Can do?

[gleaming cypress]

at least 2

[mint osprey]

That's so me

[median swan]

cutoff is either 136 or 137

[gleaming cypress]

damn, that’s a really high bar for top 100

[stuck mantle]

Gardenia have zero heal just cheack grid lame

No status flinch eva no free move

[olive swift]

If only I didn't take a NAP

I was like 7 away to making top 100 I cri

I did one last 20 secs

[stuck mantle]

Better 7 then 1:)

[olive swift]

I had 30 seconds to make a team so I made random water team 😭

[stuck mantle]

Gloria is op:)

[olive swift]

My Lyra still had hse grid and skill

😭

[worthy horizon]

finally done farming

[gleaming cypress]

bro is stacked

[kind imp]

Yay

[shadow solstice]

darn i ran out of time i only got 9 streak in the final rush

welp it's fine at least i did something

[pearl beacon]

She doesn't exactly look a unit for LG
Also no terrain healing
Those "field" units are getting worse

[twin aurora]

Last 20 min dance ;D who cares about overkills when top100 at stake

[bright brook]

Screenshot taken at 11:59

Cutoff is 137

Cutoff for top 20 is 202

[worthy horizon]

gardenia should get latios ig

[bright brook]

Congratulations everyone for completing gauntlet

[worthy horizon]

but even latios i wouldn't be completely certain on

if she gets more than latios i'd be pretty surprised

just no sustain

[sour isle]

Noice

[stuck mantle]

Nice but you need farm red silver in villa too:) you realy low

[worthy horizon]

haha yea

[stuck mantle]

Hall 1-17 its for it too farm

[worthy horizon]

luckily stoic is the only exclusive skill to those, dc2 and ft2 are in 1* deluxes

[stuck mantle]

Yes but get it from bronze need alot time and cookies

[worthy horizon]

for those ones in particular the odds aren't too bad

9% in 2* crunchy and 8.02% from 1* deluxe

https://www.serebii.net/pokemonmasters/luckyskills.shtml

[stuck mantle]

Maybe in paper:)

But try get fast track itc from bronze

How anoing its is

Silver like 3/6 times and bronze one time i spend like 200+

[twin aurora]

It’s nice to see myself at other screenshots, btw congrats with this one ;3

[gleaming cypress]

this is what my stockpile is looking like lol

[worthy horizon]

yeah you can section off time off the start of gauntlet to do some auto farming

on top of dumping your stamina into lucky cookies

jp players have not gotten a single recorded kabu solo other than the cobalion one smh

[pearl beacon]

Fake fans

~~ or just low gems ~~

[worthy horizon]

raikou should be doable, bulu should be doable at higher move levels, and latios can be lowered

[stuck mantle]

Hmm maybe when he at lodge more pull:)

Hard tell since we get hse and 2 units for it and new skipp event where is 5 new sync pairs

So kabu have hard time sell💵

[marsh hare]

Lol

I couldn't finish the LG, rip candy coins

[rocky oasis]

i have mo cookie stockpile

spent it all trying to get vig on everything

[cursive briar]

I think it's not that bad, literally one day (yesterday) of trying to get as high as possible. Top 3k secured, it could be even top 1k, but being lazy won

The worst thing is, that I didnt grind for cookies

[wicked tusk]

it wasn't a great LG for grinding anyway

[worthy horizon]

yeah next one is most likely going to be more efficient

though moltres/latias isn't that unlikely either and could make things worse

[wicked tusk]

we know that the next LG will feature Cresselia and/or Raikou

Latias is likely to rerun too

[cursive briar]

Latias/cresselia would be good for stat debuffers like NC Leaf/Cerena

[worthy horizon]

moltres/latias/cress would be the worst possible lineup imo, latias isn't the worst on her own but lotta overlap with cresselia
