Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)

[stuck mantle]

I will first get marnie from free units🤣

[true tartan]

I think only T Gladion has possibility to solo at 1/5

[stuck mantle]

Need 150 voucher

[true tartan]

the rest will need copies or candies

[stuck mantle]

Lol my marnie will be 3/5 on this day

I have 3 fields candy

[true tartan]

you're going to use candies for a free unit?

[stuck mantle]

Never use them ever

[true tartan]

[stuck mantle]

Marnie deserev it

Haha its joke stdk

Never spend candy if can get free copys😎

[true tartan]

I have no idea who I'll pick as they are pretty "eh" without copies haha

[stuck mantle]

First is marnie for me

[lost juniper]

Tornadus Bar 3 is much much weaker than Bar 2

If she gets past Bar 2 it's much easier to win

[stuck mantle]

But we have huricanes and crit and flinch

[true tartan]

flies your way

[lost juniper]

All of those are weaker than Flys and +6 attack brutal swings

[true tartan]

yep

[lost juniper]

And Tornadus' stats are lower

[true tartan]

bar 2 damage is real haha

[stuck mantle]

Real after 6-8 buffs

Suks this sync insta after fly

[dawn plume]

well the brutal swings shouldn't be +6 atk with acerola's passive

but yes the flys are an issue

just hits way too hard

[stuck mantle]

Plus you can get crit too

[dawn plume]

at least its mpr3

[stuck mantle]

Never get from acerola singel mp recover🤣

[raven crane]

Yeah, that's what I mean.

[worthy horizon]

did we grid trip up for tornadus though

[stuck mantle]

Yes

Bar no help if no recover simulator

[worthy horizon]

ok good

[lost juniper]

Maybe this can work?

Requires 5/5 +10E though

Trip up should make Tornadus so much easier

[stuck mantle]

Sorry my is 3/5🤣

Not this time

[loud shell]

I thought she already got torn

[stuck mantle]

100k orbs no no no😂

If some one got mp recover simulator bar 2-3 this grid and good skill gear plus luck whit no crits

[lost juniper]

Well guess we'll wait for snow or another japanese player to do that full invesment

[stuck mantle]

Snow got it 5/5

Saw on his twitter

But if he have orbs? Maybe buy bundle tommorow

And do it then

Even so need crazy luck recover mp like daze whit leaf potions

[lost juniper]

I also still believe both SS Steven and NC Rosa could eventually solo Tornadus

[loud shell]

I'd imagine bar 1 + 2 is easy for steven

Bar three is bad and the limited disarm is also an issue for steven

[lost juniper]

Bar 1 probably. Bar 2 would be difficult

[loud shell]

still has zen headbutt atleast despite how weak it is

[lost juniper]

Cause only physical move is zen headbutt

Yeah but very weak though

Bar 3 is mpr check

[rocky oasis]

unfortunately bar 3 has piercing gaze

so many solos would be ezpz w/o it

[karmic willow]

pay more lol

you got endless cash

[raven crane]

Neat duo.

Just having some fun.

[sturdy steeple]

get green'd idiot

[lost juniper]

I think some more can be lowered to 1/5

I'll try some myself since I got her now

[sturdy steeple]

congrats

[true tartan]

fun how all but Latias are 0/20 and 140

Latias needed some more stats?

and yeah, maybe some can be lowered with EX and/or R

[sturdy steeple]

dont get debuffed then you dont

[worthy horizon]

idk what else 1/5 could manage

entei maybe but you're fighting its shields without crit and you wouldn't want to give up vigilance for sharp entry i would think

[lost juniper]

Regirock maybe?

Or Registeel

[sturdy steeple]

The debuffs are oppressive

[lost juniper]

If she stalls on Bar 1 maybe that could help?

Like don't use B-move until she's about to finish Bar 1 off

Registeel should be doable

Defense buffs would allow her to tank

And Regi isn't that strong above half

[worthy horizon]

still fighting through shields again

and regirock has impervious

[stuck mantle]

You are pro on lover my solos hyper🤣

You can do it:)

[lost juniper]

Maybe Azelf could be possible?

[stuck mantle]

If you live past bar 1

Then yes

[worthy horizon]

low offense to be getting out of bar 1 quickly on top of needing to take even more debuffs than registeel

if she could debuff both defenses i'd see registeel, with mixed attacks i could see azelf, and with crits i could see entei

but 1/5 has none of that

[lost juniper]

If 1/5 is possible she'd need more invesment

Enlightment 9 would work for Regirock

Actually no he hard requires Vigilance

[true tartan]

[worthy horizon]

staggering coulda made all those feasible as well

but even then it's not that great a carry vs registeel and azelf

[lost juniper]

After trying, I don't any of them can be lowered

Maybe Regirock could be done with 1/5 EX

[worthy horizon]

yea i'd kinda be surprised if you could even get halfway

[lost juniper]

I got to Bar 2 with Regirock

I think the EX would make it much easier

Maybe it'd help for Azelf too

You'd think Registeel is easier than Regirock because debuffs but no

special damage reduction sucks

[worthy horizon]

maybe regirock would be doable with dauntless on grid but maybe she'd need even more

still isn't sounding great for regirock

[lost juniper]

You need Vigilance

Otherwise crits destroy you

And you get debuffed

[worthy horizon]

i meant to say on top of vigilance

[lost juniper]

Oh yeah but that isn't an option for 1/5

[worthy horizon]

ye

too few antigimmicks to be getting anything more

[lost juniper]

I don't even have enough to EX anyone

Good thing cs resets tomorrow

[worthy horizon]

bar 2 regirock is the big issue with -1 spa every attack

[lost juniper]

Eh I don't care that much about it. Speed debuffs are so much worse

Cause as long as she heals she's fine even if it takes longer

[worthy horizon]

yea that's all just on paper, always the chance we can see things play out differently in practice

[lost juniper]

I'll try again once I EX her

[dawn plume]

are 2 star feathers worth grabbing from the rally shop before it resets i have like 3k medals

[worthy horizon]

yeah, blues give damage reduction but greens are cheaper and give a wider variety of useful stuff

with yellows you'll have to put up with way more irrelevant wtzs

all my best gear came from 2* greens

always avoid purples bc those give purely wtz boosts

or a super high rate or something

too niche and outclassed

so focus greens blues and yellows imo

maybe i could have/should have bought more blue feathers in retrospect but idk

you do want to save enough medals to buy out orbs and roll cake vouchers and maybe 5* powerups if you need those for every month tho

[dawn plume]

yeah i always get all of those every month

next month is a 5 week month so not worried about that at all

[worthy horizon]

yellows are good if you're lacking in gear with optimal stats but greens and blues will have much more helpful passives and reds and pinks could come in handy for dc now

whites can suffer the same problem as purples with being too niche

[pearl beacon]

It's either Blue or Purple

Weather offensive passives are almost useless, max is 3%
So it's just better getting crit +3%

Unless is type related but even so it's kinda limited

[mint osprey]

I don't think we have rooms to buy feathers off Rally. The currency is too important for those

[river cliff]

Once someone has a big enough roster of dual roles they'd make more than enough for all the other items each month

[worthy horizon]

i could afford to purchase skill feathers because i had somehow been able to buy out the other stuff without having a ton of ex roles

which i don't get bc i haven't been able to do that for the past couple of months but i have been hit with a bunch of field and sprint rallies

[rocky oasis]

we finally have the first sprint / field unit lol

[dawn plume]

and she's a fat skip

also first hoenn pokefair in almost 2 years LOL

they got neglected so badly

[chrome halo]

perhaps the worst pokefair in 2 years too

[median swan]

they dropped ss wally and knew they peaked

[river cliff]

I like Greta's kit

[chrome halo]

*geeta you meant?

[river cliff]

I mean, her too

[chrome halo]

it was a joke btw

[river cliff]

Lol I know. The amount of times I've seen their names swapped tho

[dawn plume]

rosa and rose vibes

[chrome halo]

Brock and Regirock vibes

[heavy sinew]

greeter

[median swan]

brendan's gonna have the same problem once they release brandon from npc hell

[dawn plume]

can't wait for his regirock that can dynamax for some reason

[bitter gate]

I thought Greta was a good LG unit

[chrome halo]

i think the reason she gets considered the worst pf in a while is that her kit is just Spore spam with an average nuke and b u l l e t s e e d

[bitter gate]

Yeah but she also has tons of debuffs and good LG tools

Sure you can say she sucks elsewhere but I forsee her doing 12 solos too

Unless I'm missing something

Probably very expensive tho

[chrome halo]

she is great in LG for sure

but not in other content

[dawn plume]

one of her 5/5 tiles is bullet seed guaranteed triple

thats just evil

[bitter gate]

Yeah

[median swan]

she'll probably end up in the same league as ss cyrus solo-wise

[bitter gate]

Well she's an "unpopular, unimportant character"

[median swan]

her self-buff passive seems to be a chain enabler

[dawn plume]

wait a second........ shes a damage challenge unit, permasleep + max move which freezes timer + terrain + sprint ex

it all makes sense

[true tartan]

Greta is such a "disappointment" for me

even when I tend to like niche units lol

[bitter gate]

I think she can definitely do Uxie

Unlike Cyrus

[median swan]

cyrus is likely doing regirock later this week so they'll be even lol

[bitter gate]

Yeah but what is Cyrus doing that Greta will fail at

Cyrus is missing Uxie regi + Moltres/torn

While greta can probably do Uxie/regi + the rest

[true tartan]

the "fun thing" is that there could be a way for Cyrus to take on Uxie?

[bitter gate]

With umbral healing

I think it's doable

• some good debuff luck

• timing

[median swan]

she might have a harder time against cress

[dawn plume]

get accuracy debuffs and heal forever

[true tartan]

bar 2 can be easily nuked

[bitter gate]

Yeah but she can probably still do it anyway

She's mostly really expensive

[median swan]

at 5/5 probably lol

[bitter gate]

To even get those solos

I kinda want her but I'm broke

And I don't want to risk a Cynthia Anni

Losing both my full ghost streak + full fair support steak hurts a lot

Even though I got gardenia

[river cliff]

She's definitely my pick for the next select scout we have

[bitter gate]

I still need Rika and I hope my dailies give me Kabu

Has gardenia only done one solo?

[heavy sinew]

No way there's a Cynthia anni

[true tartan]

from what we know, only Adam tried

I didn't do any deep look on any unit this month

only did as I get the units haha

I can see Bulu as an option

[bitter gate]

Yeah, I was gonna try it after gardenia was caked

I think it's doable

[stuck mantle]

Only me try

Bulu i try:)

Wood hammer bar 3 is game end

[mint osprey]

So I just checked Greta

• Guaranteed Triple at 5/5
  Why?

[bitter gate]

You have to kill with sync + shadow ball probably

[true tartan]

or fish for confusion haha...

and roll evasions

[stuck mantle]

Sync? Do nothing

If you get eva up 4-6 you have chance

Need alot luck same like acerola vs torn bar 2-3 mp recover check

I leaving it for snow and others jp players.

[true tartan]

lol

she debuffs well, but that still sounds so miserable

[bitter gate]

She has no sustain

She has to rely on blitz

[rocky oasis]

she has grassy terrain for healing and thats it

looks like a jankier version of the ramos solos

[worthy horizon]

greta has sustain

they're talking about gardenia

verdant recovery, grassy cushion, grassy terrain extension, and two uses of grassy terrain off max move and field ex

[kind imp]

my lg15 teams, it's basically unreadable when compressed, so you have to click on "open on browser" to see it in the original resolution
i'm open to suggestions on how to share the teams, i like this bc it takes less space than ~50 individual screenshots and it's easier than making a streak sheet

there's lots of overkill tho, like making trios out of duos bc i wasn't expecting i could make leaderboard

[pearl pawn]

woah Lana's LS seems really good am I wrong?

[worthy horizon]

usually there's a better option

[kind imp]

ye, it was talked about a few days ago #1012311116778586182 message

[upper lance]

SS Lysandre : I’m one of the most powerful Water Sync Pair in the game. I should be able to solo Entei right ?
Entei : ….
SS Lysandre : I should be able to solo Entei right ?

[bitter gate]

I mean, Lysandre hits hard, but he lacks any semblance of defensive utility

short of water guard and attack debuffs

and his gauge is quite heavy

the pitfalls of 3 v 3 design

[upper lance]

The fact that Entei have randomly the skill who block SS Lysandre to use his B-Move is such a thing

[worthy horizon]

every la clear needs a good balance of damage, sustain, and gauge

and sustain is the most valuable of the three

ss lysandre lacking both sustain and gauge is really bad

sustain can kinda be replaced with move denial like sleep, flinch, freeze, eva, etc

ss lysandre lacks all of those too

still one of my favorite sync pairs but there's always some difficulty when you have your favorite game mode and favorite unit not mix super well

[bitter gate]

not everything is designed to solo

[worthy horizon]

figuring out his cheapest duos is fun though

[bitter gate]

but yeah, he has some good duos you can play with

i think someone used an eggmon with him too

[worthy horizon]

yea i remember one of the jps using tech sprig on registeel

i lack tech sprig though

[bitter gate]

I did tech spring + NY Lisia against Registeel so

Registeel mostly just wants some debuffer + flincher as long as the gauge isn't complete trash

still waiting for Lisia to get her cakes/expansion so i can do her solos

[worthy horizon]

[bitter gate]

also waiting for the jasmine expansion so i can do the bulu solo

[errant plume]

LySSandre's best duo is Supp Quaxly
Speed, Rain, HH, he's a really good pseudo-tank so that Volcanion can nuke the opponent

This duo can do Entei or Terrakion already, not bad at all

[lost juniper]

https://youtu.be/7eYUeA3qEvc?si=KwYwD5NFvmN8AXZf

It happened finally

[rocky oasis]

should be possible w/ 3/5

[stuck mantle]

8 energy

He use so

And i try no energy its why no chance:) 😙

And all extra damage could be important plus he got 14% terrain damage reduce

[pliant glen]

Anything left that can be optimised?

[lost juniper]

I believe Regirock is possible with 1/5 EX

[tender horizon]

Beautiful

[chrome halo]

ig Sharp Entry 1 lucky skill?

[bright brook]

https://youtu.be/TXW3cWBA1WQ?si=3Dvy3Eblr8iNydjg

[bright brook]

Ft2

[chrome halo]

ah so it was a random crit

[bright brook]

The crit in the screenshot was pure luck

Yep

[sturdy steeple]

We take those

[rocky oasis]

never gonna ever do the solo till they give him a grid expansion

[vital ibex]

they better give him a kris-like expansion or its joever lol

bro needs crit eye and ramp up (or other means of sp atk buffing)

[bright brook]

He needs so many things..

[vital ibex]

fr

[stuck mantle]

Why he use mirror coat?

[vital ibex]

realistically, i can see critical eye, grand entry 3 (already has grand entry 1 on grid), first aid 4 and a sync multiplier

[vital ibex]

cat cure 2, fishing for heal procs

[stuck mantle]

But he lost more hp

Doing it🤣

[vital ibex]

shrug

[stuck mantle]

First time he got should just kill it

Or he farm sync buffs

This only make more sens for me

[lost juniper]

It's the latter

He needed the extra sync buffs

[feral plank]

Who would you give role to? All 3/5

[lost juniper]

Hilda probably

Bianca manages without EX R because of her broken grid

[shy sinew]

yeah Bianca doesn’t need cake to be a standout

[lost juniper]

Cake also allows most of Hilda's solos

[shy sinew]

coincidentally the one in there I don’t have EXR is Hilda and Korrina likes it but Hilda is very much on my priority list for next support cake (Gardenia got one today from me for HSE)

[stuck mantle]

Hilda

[chrome halo]

same, but i like Bianca more so i'm going to cake her first

then Hilda

[dawn plume]

wait wallace

no way

lmao having to reset at the start for indomitable 1

[heavy sinew]

wtf ss lana bulu real

[sturdy steeple]

Good day for new solos

[rocky oasis]

anyone working on tl gloria, bp olivia, bp falkner, ny lance?

i think those are the only latios solos left in theory

maybe marley?

[pliant glen]

NY Lance requires a ton of MP1 Bounces I think

Stdk was doing Lodge Gloria and got to Bar 3 at some point

[dawn plume]

oh hell yea i knew ss lana bulu was possible

[rocky oasis]

may ate all my orbs unfortuantely

her energy costs are super awkward and weird

dropped 100k orbs on her bc fav

[true tartan]

I don't think anyone else was working on L Gloria

I attempted without extra energy too, got to bar 3 and that's it

[heavy sinew]

how do you bp falkner

dodge check?

[sturdy steeple]

you know it

[rocky oasis]

yes

unless you wanna put gobsmack on him i guess

and drop sync nodes

[dawn plume]

lodge volo latios still hasnt happened

i havent tried it in like a month lol was doing gauntlet

[karmic willow]

interesting

[pearl beacon]

That's damn great

[lost juniper]

After trying with EX Acerola, she can't solo Regirock. Maybe Sharp Entry could help her get Registeel?
If only she could survive longer Azelf would be doable

[rocky oasis]

her spdef tanking is so bad for terrakion

even in 3v1

its mediocre asf

[sturdy steeple]

i believe ghyper is talking about smacerola not normal acerola

[lost juniper]

Yeah

[true tartan]

[rocky oasis]

makes sense

im exing regular acerola eventually bc shes so mediocre

have her 10/20 atmp

[lost juniper]

I'm also EX-ing SmAcerola because of Ghost/Dark HSE

She's so valuable there

[rocky oasis]

skip for me

whole month is a skip

[river cliff]

Same. Probably a good thing with anni coming up

[lost juniper]

Yeah it's better to skip

I just got tempted lol

She's a mix scout pity worthy choice (though I think I'll choose Rika when I get there)

[rocky oasis]

ahe looks better than kabu

kabu honestly looks super disappointed

and doesnt get much out of dupes till like 4/5

which just isnt worth it

like 3/5 to solo latios?

my ass

[lost juniper]

Kabu is a unit I'll be happy if I get but I'm not actively scouting for him

Rika though, I wish I had the gems for her when she ran

[rocky oasis]

i have her 1/5

which is enough for me

shes def neat

even at 1/5 ex

[inner turret]

Dunno who Occulydian is but thx for you submission to the repository

Oh that's @river cliff well thx

[worthy horizon]

glad there was at least one other person that believed the wallace solo was doable

no unyielding procs is def surprising though

that was me not knowing the extent to which you could farm sync buffs on bar 1

which is also something i only realized on the bp surge solo shortly before i actually did it

kabu could still manage latios at 2/5 exr, we mighta seen rednhoho do it if he wasn't inactive

i very nearly did it without any mprs at my investment

so if you could just start with +6 defenses and get an extra tm or two for debuffs

maybe

[worthy horizon]

anyway

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0zdvqJiLeU

i never looked into support quaxly with ss lysandre so def going to try that out

i have tried the other rain eggmons and didn't get too far, got latios and idr for sure if i managed entei or not lol

ok yea i did i have a recording

yep def going to need to use this one a lot in the future

and i can finally have winona open for zinnia

maybe

ty elek

[inner turret]

ah you use tm mpr to rush more syncs, right

i felt like 3/5 was mandatory but tm mpr changes everything

[worthy horizon]

yeah i wasn't completely sure it'd work out but i gave it a shot and it didn't take long

[loud shell]

I made an investment today. Only time will tell if it was worth it for gauntlet

[lost juniper]

Maybe you can get Cobalion

[river cliff]

I feel like he's one of the only good partner quaxly has. The speed buffs feel wasted everywhere else minus maybe Archie

[lost juniper]

It's nice with SS Misty too

Not on Terrakion but in general this is not a bad duo

[river cliff]

SS Misty only really likes the +2 sp atk and rain, she doesn't really care about the +6 speed

[lost juniper]

Yeah but without 5/5 Lysandre this is worth it

[tender horizon]

Using Catalytic cure and Indomitable

Wow

[true tartan]

https://youtu.be/caKd4bcZpVI+

[heavy sinew]

waiting for eruption bar 2 is crazy

[pearl beacon]

Noiiice, so it's his first solo

[true tartan]

no....

I did Latios months ago lol

[pearl beacon]

Oh, missed that

[true tartan]

months ago meaning.... may 23rd lol

really, I felt like that was done like on february haha

[dawn plume]

a month and 1 week lol

[true tartan]

my perception of time is messed up haha

[shy sinew]

nah may was 2 months ago

the rest is just semantics

[pearl beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/yubi-furry-fursuit-time-isnt-real-time-meme-gif-24375933

1 month and no attempts of hErika on latias

[true tartan]

maybe try now... the RNG may align as it did for Emmet haha

[pearl beacon]

~~ DC is stealing time from clears ~~

[dawn plume]

as suggested haha

[dawn plume]

yep evasion fishing lol

[true tartan]

2/5 EX only lol

[stuck mantle]

Told it

Jp have luck:) so they can do it

Prob did it in 2-4 try

[true tartan]

it was highly doable... just mattered that someone figure it out

funny enough it was without EX Role and 3/5 lol

[stuck mantle]

Matter off luck

[true tartan]

so it should be somewhat easier for you

[stuck mantle]

If you dont get hit 🤣

Same like guzma 4 eva up avoid all moves

Copy it stdk is not easy🙂‍↔️

[true tartan]

I don't have it

[bitter gate]

Soon I'll try the jasmine solo

Post expansion

Mine is +10E so I have more leeway

[stuck mantle]

25 bro

[bitter gate]

Yeah, just wait until then

And maybe run FT

[true tartan]

just getting crit is a big thing lol

[stuck mantle]

I do lyra also same day

Torn waiting

[bitter gate]

Yeah but that's probably the only good thing she got, but HH and FA help ofc

Kinda wish she got team sync regen

[stuck mantle]

Yeap alot unit need crit in grid like masked royal

[bitter gate]

Rather than HH

[stuck mantle]

Or ny dawn

[bitter gate]

Or barricade buddies

+20 speed is cute too lol

[true tartan]

is something lol

over the 200 she has at max...

is a big help lol

[bitter gate]

I think you gave to run FT

Especially for the third bar

With trip up drops

[true tartan]

hope you have a TM by then

since that'd block the stat reductions

[bitter gate]

You can run a mad strength or FE2 variant

And rely purely on MGR Lockstep and Rejuv to survive

But I'm not sure how that'll work

[true tartan]

you're very likely to grab TM MPR anyway lol

[bitter gate]

I know, just that you have the berserk bunch variant

And you want some nice early rolls

And then save

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/11300/20800?s=5&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFBggLDhIVGBseISQwMjM1

If you ran a mad strength variant without FT

You would be able to take iron tail accuracy

Or X Def mpr

[stuck mantle]

I think fast track is better

[worthy horizon]

yeah i'd assume ft would be better if you have recup/synchro healing to get as many syncs out as quick as possible

the latios grid used mad strength though

[river cliff]

Is mad strength better than fierce entry?

[worthy horizon]

for her yea, it's a long battle

[river cliff]

I guess it would also be better at mitigating Terrify

[worthy horizon]

ye

+3 max vs +6 max

[kind imp]

https://youtu.be/703GnaFdU7E

[heavy sinew]

dodge simulator

wait no

wrong may

5 MPRs

on terrain

I'd die

[kind imp]

I counted 4

[chrome halo]

Ayo???

[kind imp]

And it only needed 2 mpr

[chrome halo]

Japanese stop being insane challenge: impossible

[bitter gate]

propulsion blitz is fun

ramp is OP

[true tartan]

[gleaming cypress]

there’s always something new in LG huh

[bright brook]

There's usually no new stuff regarding LG during this "break"

But new solos or solo improvements are everyday things

[karmic willow]

yeah.... never

for me

[stuck mantle]

If we did terra so azelf not a problem copy it on lg if apear

[karmic willow]

there is a problem

[stuck mantle]

Wat? Lol

[karmic willow]

you go do it

and tell me how long it takes

like did you SEE how many tms it needed?

[stuck mantle]

You did terra me too

[karmic willow]

it's even worse than potion clear

Terra required 0 RNG

maybe no crits but

you don't get stat reduction

you don't need a bazillion TMs

[stuck mantle]

Mpr check is normal lol

[karmic willow]

but hey, if you can do it, good for you

[karmic willow]

this is less than normal lol

[stuck mantle]

When be azelf if ani may not better in others i will do it

Lg off course

[karmic willow]

sure

[stuck mantle]

Classic ellesa terra solo think wors then this

[karmic willow]

no?

i mean

no resets just flinch

depends on what you think is hard or easy lol

also somehow i did the entire SS Hilda uxie clear without a third sync buff lol

[stuck mantle]

Flinch 20% is same like reset 20%

[karmic willow]

still insane

[stuck mantle]

Same chance

[karmic willow]

the math is not right here

but

sure

[stuck mantle]

And terrain you have 2

Soo more chance you get it

If not 1 time then 2 time

And if not flinch 1 time you may not live 2 flinch🤣

[chrome halo]

well if they are willing to do it, let them be

[karmic willow]

ya

good for them

[lost juniper]

Was she Azelf's 100th solo?

Or was it Acerola?

[sturdy steeple]

Ace was

[graceful folio]

[true tartan]

that May solo used 4 PTerrains...

on a 2/2 move, which is not that uncommon to get tbh... if it was 1/1 usage with 3 MPRs... that'd be very annoying haha

[raven crane]

Definitely not bad, at all.

[lost juniper]

But it requires the invesment for ranges

They were super close

[stuck mantle]

My may is + 10E from hse

So not issue

[stuck mantle]

https://youtu.be/hhrCCHLqYxk?si=gYa-SRT8NVPmLY4k

[heavy sinew]

I counted like 4 or 5

[rocky oasis]

finally

so just bp falkner, tl gloria, tl volo, ny lance, maybe marley left?

unless someone wants to give ramos a shot

[stuck mantle]

5 was regen mp

[rocky oasis]

figured it was gonna be down to regen rng

[stuck mantle]

Like potions check

[rocky oasis]

rip to anyone doing lodge volo

[stuck mantle]

Its

[rocky oasis]

im thinking ramos isnt impossible in theory

in practice... yeah good luck

gotta make no mistakes

[lost juniper]

Does Ramos have healing?

Bulu got by because he also healed in terrain and the sleep chain was against one target

[rocky oasis]

regen on TM

in theory 1v3 sleep chain is possible

in practice its so miserable it aint worth doing

idk what the gauge situation is like even w/ MGR LS

maybe if they ever gave ramos a EX...

[lost juniper]

Then I guess this could work if you get infinite tm mprs, no nat crits and survive long enough to kill sides

[rocky oasis]

which is why its in theory

[heavy sinew]

TAS definitely possible but human attempts don't think so

[stuck mantle]

Jp player could make theory alive🤣

They pro in crazy solos

[lost juniper]

I doubt DeNA would allow TAS to be used on the game, and even if they did we can't add those

[lost juniper]

Almost ironically to suggest it to someone like Luri, Snow or redhono but I don't want them to torture themselves with it

[stuck mantle]

Luri never do it

[heavy sinew]

Yep and we can't really talk about stuff like that here so really it just comes down to who's willing to waste a ton of time to get it

[lost juniper]

I know, that's why Ironically

[stuck mantle]

Snow or redhono maybe

[lost juniper]

Luri did some crazy shit herself

[stuck mantle]

Snow could spend orbs

[lost juniper]

So I wouldn't rule it out if she was interested

[stuck mantle]

But she do new units solo not old free play

Redo have alot accounts

So for him this is option too

[lost juniper]

I mean, same could be said for you but we still discuss solos like that too

[stuck mantle]

Luri never spend 100k orbs on ramos lol

[lost juniper]

It's a matter of interest

[stuck mantle]

Same like me😂

[lost juniper]

And I don't think anyone cares enough

[stuck mantle]

This is just take alot effort

And invest

Snow dont push lg or others event like redo

Luri or me do it so we cant spend orbs just like thet

[lost juniper]

I only really spend orbs on gauntlet when I need it for something

For example I gave Courtney, Bianca and Mix Red +10e to make clears easier

[stuck mantle]

I spend when need for rank🤣

Now damage event need it too🤣

Too many events not many orbs

[lost juniper]

Eh I'm not getting this high so no pressure for me

[thick dawn]

put in the resources in this months ago but it's so boring lmao

[lost juniper]

Summer Acerola is all I need

[thick dawn]

so don't mind not being the one to do it

[stuck mantle]

Lol 8 extra🤯

F2p units is like last for me for it

Summer acerola is good

But crit up is soo dam stupid 1 up from trainer move

[thick dawn]

this was me lol

but im completely fine giving the honor to someone else for this one 💀

[rocky oasis]

ive done the potion check solos and oh boy are they mierable

congrats to dragonsalty

[stuck mantle]

If bp olivia only have crit up

Would be soo dam easy

[rocky oasis]

its still gonna be miserable

that atk is seriously holding her back

[pliant glen]

Free Supports can't have attack stats after 2022 DeNA said so

I do think it's funny that Lodge Raiham got a solo before BP Olivia when both are extremely similar

Rafa moment

[worthy horizon]

synchro healing + unbending + tighten up all help quite a bit

[pliant glen]

Synchro Healing is probably the main one yeah

[worthy horizon]

ye ofc

[rocky oasis]

plus he can afford to run vigilance or def crush

[worthy horizon]

yea attack boosts give him the freedom to do that

very privileged in those respects solo-wise

[loud shell]

Lodge Kabu will probably nab a few as well

Latios, Bulu, and Cobal if I'm guessing

[sharp lichen]

bulu definetly

being able to lower bulus attack is very useful

maybe even some danger dodge shenanigans

calling it now, this will be the grid for it

[worthy horizon]

yea lodge kabu's healing is less limited so there's likely more opportunities than base though i haven't looked in-depth yet

[lost juniper]

Attack drops mean Cobalion is likely too

[loud shell]

free unbending is helpful too

[worthy horizon]

cobalion latios raikou bulu are safe bets, latias would be nice, terrakion would be funny

but ground weak

uxie may be doable

[kind imp]

https://vxtwitter.com/MizoreAwayuki/status/1808293396337062311

[lost juniper]

Wtf how

Regi becomes immune to sleep on Bar 3

[loud shell]

Max move bypasses resistance

That's a fun one to see too

[lost juniper]

I know that but I didn't think it'd be that powerful

[worthy horizon]

same

[loud shell]

I mean they look like its 10-15 sync buffs

[lost juniper]

Melony really said sleep immune who???

[kind imp]

Oh lol it's +10E

[lost juniper]

Yeah without it no way

[worthy horizon]

still her max move is nearly 4.5x the power of her sync

[lost juniper]

She literally almost one shotted

Like holy shit

She probably can do the same to Terrakion

[worthy horizon]

yea i was thinking that too

[loud shell]

she's rock weak right?

[worthy horizon]

yep

[lost juniper]

Yes but there were attempts iirc

[worthy horizon]

she can run stoic + grid vigilance and have 90 acc sings with precision pals x3 and grid boosts

which is the same as elio

not enough energy to run sync regen on top of everything though

or you give up recup and take that

probably you take sync regen

[rocky oasis]

sync regen helps w/ gauge

[worthy horizon]

snow was using 75 acc sings vs registeel it seems like

then 83% with +4 a minute in

[true tartan]

85 units can do 1 solo...

[worthy horizon]

iirc it was 9 that were not latios, would be higher now

[true tartan]

easy to check

14

Cobalion: Gordie (lmao)
Entei: Wake, Kukui, L Rosa, BP Silver
Raikou: SS Giovanni, L Volo
Bulu: Erika, BP Falkner, F Iris, Mallow, Ramos, P Serena
Tornadus: NY Volkner (lmao electric boogaloo)

[rocky oasis]

im not convinced bp falkner cant do latios

like itd obviously be several times harder but still

[true tartan]

he can.... is just hard to do so

the multiple targets make it annoying haha

all of the Training units should be able to do Latios

and even Bulu imo

Gladion is the one I see has with the easier setup imo

to some point, Hugh

Marnie is interesting

[rocky oasis]

marnie is the most meh imo

[shy sinew]

she has a very high on a roll number which is... something... but then I saw the others all have similar parts of their kit

[rocky oasis]

honestly the field units are kinda disappointing

going for the 2 sprint first

they feel more cohesive as units imo

[worthy horizon]

looks like 2/5 is the bare minimum for everything though

[sturdy steeple]

congrats to registeel for 100 solos

[kind imp]

it's raining solos

i think we got like 9 new ones since lg ended? (ignoring +12 summer acerola, +2 gardenia)

4 yesterday and 3 today

[true tartan]

there are more than 9 haha

ignoring Gardenia and Acerola

since they are new units...

and the ones from Morty since he got his boost during LG

Azelf: Anni May
Entei: Emmet
Latios: Shauntal, Wallace, BP Olivia
Raikou: Kabu
Regirock: NY Sabrina
Registeel: Emma, Melony
Tapu Bulu: Red, SS Lana
Tornadus: Volner NY

[dawn plume]

this hurts my ears

imagine getting that far then you get rafad by the max move

[pearl beacon]

[pearl beacon]

You can't skip half bar +3 acc

And also 166 spatk

He's great for duos tho and his tms are no joke

[kind imp]

pain

[stuck mantle]

Snow is crazy😂

[heavy sinew]

that would've one shot if it crit, no?

[kind imp]

yup

[pearl beacon]

Special shield

[kind imp]

cress gets immune to passives in bar 3, so you save terrain to one shot it

[true tartan]

that would've done x3 damage, so yeah

[bright brook]

https://youtu.be/UMs90WhK8Kc?si=uc3xSi54SpmCnHnp

[loud shell]

How do you already have him, its day 3!

[errant plume]

When are we gonna stop seeing this comment for literally every Lodge Unit tho

[worthy horizon]

never

[errant plume]

So true

[true tartan]

there are many techniques that let you rush a lodge haha

I think top speed is 3 days

interaction storing + over 200 pts + tier 3 gift

[worthy horizon]

i accepted far ahead of time i wasn't gonna be the fastest one to get lodge kabu xd

and i didn't even think to interaction store

[true tartan]

you can do 12 interactions top at reset if you store I think

[bright brook]

Theres also a lodge trick to restart if the interaction ends early

[true tartan]

or well, 13

you can keep 10

[errant plume]

Every month we say the same things about Lodge, it's so funny

[true tartan]

yeah lol

[true tartan]

you can always lower it tho...

[worthy horizon]

right

[bright brook]

i actually came very close to getting the solo with 4* kabu lol

[rocky oasis]

got 1/5 kabu on a random daily single pull

well then

he looks janky asf to use

and not in a good way

[hallow gull]

+1 Lodge pair

[rocky oasis]

you need trap to use the b move but he can only trap once?

[hallow gull]

And some stuff like candy

[rocky oasis]

wtf was dena smoking

[worthy horizon]

yeah know your trappers

[rocky oasis]

yeah this dude is staying 1/5 forever

that grid sucks

[bright brook]

TL kabu > kabu

[stuck mantle]

Kabu is strange unit

Its why lodge kabu too help

[worthy horizon]

there's nothing he particularly excels at and it kinda sucks lol

just a generalist support

but with trap active he does provide substantial healing

[stuck mantle]

Cs mode and hse

For lg whit trap duo

[bright brook]

https://youtu.be/hI2px-JsYT4?si=_5t-ryoGANcbDTQX

coba

[rocky oasis]

not even sure he provides much besides tanking in HSE

positive fire rebuff aint as good as negative LBR

[bright brook]

he also has the group fire guard LS

100% a HSE fire unit

[errant plume]

I wasn't sure if he had enough gauge or bulk to spam Fire Spin Bar 2, well yes nice
Otherwise you need 7-8 Sync Buffs to skip the second half of Bar 2

[bright brook]

i didnt plan to skip bar 2 tbh haha

in my head i was like yea as long as we could burn it in bar 3, and ember quick animation makes sure we sync before coba does past bar 2 half bar

[errant plume]

And you were right

Can he stop ending the interaction before I can give him the gift ? I want to test him too

[bright brook]

how far are you rn

[errant plume]

75/100, I need to score 273 because my Day 1 interaction was horrible, my best score was 251, I normally aim for 264

[bright brook]

that's unfort

good luck tomorrow man!

im giving up on azelf and entei despite knowing he has the tools to beat them, i hope you could cook something up once you get him

[errant plume]

Thanks
I'm using the lodge trick, but even with that, the game doesn't me to get the unit early

I was thinking Bulu or Uxie before them tbh

[worthy horizon]

yeah

[bright brook]

im working on bulu and already did uxie

bulu is a bit tricky for me rn bc we could only trap it twice

[errant plume]

Oh nice

Yeah that's the issue

[bright brook]

i tried not trapping bulu in bar 1 and making use of his TM gradual healing but even so I'd need residual damage from trap bc i dont wanna be stuck in bar 1 for too long

once we've figured that out i think it can be done,

[errant plume]

Good Luck

[bright brook]

Ehe ty

[worthy horizon]

btw i kinda think you should consider mind games

like i had electric guard for raikou but i swapped over to dc2 to get the clear with that amount of limited healing

with base kabu

mg2 could be an important enabler for lodge kabu

except usually his healing isn't very limited

[bright brook]

gotcha

[lost juniper]

Emma just casually waltzing into the 10 solos club

[heavy sinew]

Guys Emma got 10 solos!

See, nobody cares.

[rocky oasis]

nobody wants to invest 4 candies into her

[sharp lichen]

Is NC Bianca one of the better investments to 3/5?

[rocky oasis]

yes

solos literally everything

and carries you through fighting DC and some UB

[sharp lichen]

Since I have only 1 strike but 4 omnis I’ll probably just use 1 of each lol

[inner turret]

I wouldn't use an omni candy on a strike since they're very common

and worse (as in, strike pairs usually don't require candies) in comparison to literally every other role lol

[lost juniper]

Absolutely

[lost juniper]

Bianca is the exception

[sharp lichen]

yeah true, i just checked and i got 15 striker coins so its only a bit more waiting

[lost juniper]

She's very much worth the candy

[bitter gate]

this is why it's preferred for people to invest into obscure units so that coverage is maintained

rather than the same people pushing the same gods

because you never know what might come out

[rocky oasis]

i have her 3/5

cant afford to 4/5 her when palmer is stuck at 1/5

i have so many better candy options

might drop her bulu solo to 3/5 exr after monday

ex 3/5 is probably possible but annoying when a wood hammer takes you down to 10%

[bright brook]

@sterile frost is 2 for 2

[rocky oasis]

nice

i think lear is still the only PF w/o a 5/5

gonna be interesting to see what his final grid looks like

i cant see him getting cobalion but maybe terrakion?

[river cliff]

Calling it that he gets buff blocker at 5/5. Giving him the sprint role would be really funny

[dawn plume]

lear is indeed the last poke fair without 5/5 grid

hes been gone since october 2022

hopefully he reruns next month just so that can all be done before 5th anni

[chrome halo]

SS Lear coming next month

[sterile frost]

potion simulator lol, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q_thzZZRQ8&t=2s

[river cliff]

Then we'll get mf expansions

[dawn plume]

[chrome halo]

my 5/5 mfs

[stuck mantle]

Cant wait for mf expansion:)

[hallow gull]

How about no, i dont want to candy mf to 5/5

[chrome halo]

how about yes

my 5/5 Anni Lillie needs a good expansion badly

[karmic willow]

how about

yes

[stuck mantle]

It happend sooner or latter

Many old mf need it like fresh air

If dena want sell them whit new boost units need fix them

If no they banner most be dead

[loud shell]

Me with 5/5 Cheren waiting for three years to get his expansion with his rerun

[river cliff]

I just want anni steven to rise to glory

[dawn plume]

rise? rising tide?

[bright brook]

cRISIs countdown

[lost juniper]

I want 5/5 expansion so I'll have an excuse to make Anni N 5/5

[river cliff]

Double drop

[lost juniper]

YES

And also better buffing

And he wants healing too

[rocky oasis]

I aint got the candy to 5/5 my MFs

[loud shell]

Just let him drops offensive stats with blue flare and he’s a lot better

[dawn plume]

give him ss n's b move but its always active

[lost juniper]

Oh that would be so overpowered

[karmic willow]

you guys do this and that

man

5/5 Leon

what does he get?

[heavy sinew]

Scorching Sync 9

Imagine

[river cliff]

Max move powerups

Adding sun to his max move would be pretty awesome

[hallow gull]

His 4-5/5 should fix his Tm

[heavy sinew]

Impervious

[river cliff]

Aggravation

[rocky oasis]

id prefer if they gave mfs the 3/5 cynthia expansion treatment

like wow that was a glow up even at 3/5

[karmic willow]

imagine if he got

the SS Red treatment

sync thinker 9

no impervious just status quo

absolute dawg

[karmic willow]

nah give it DOWNSIDE UP

tm has hit and heal

he'd be able to solo azelf even at that point

[river cliff]

Tm propulsion 9

[sturdy steeple]

The dream

[inner turret]

Nah give Archie Maxie Downside Up and rain called / solarize

5/5 MF grids and I instantly candy both Serena

[river cliff]

Can't wait for primal reversion to give Archie +200 sp atk

[heavy sinew]

+2 speed

call it

[karmic willow]

man

i just want more defensive stuff

like we got SO MUCH offense that

i want a stupid amount of defense

[lost juniper]

Same, though after N and both Cynthias for me

[stuck mantle]

At 5 ani they add some new things

Maybe this or something else

[lost juniper]

5/5 Anni Steven with no weather up healing, and having Jacq's stat raise passive

[lost juniper]

I hope they give them grid expansion. Only having pokefairs upgraded is kinda lame

[stuck mantle]

Lame is old limited sc variety banners no exr roles

[lost juniper]

They don't expand mfs so you expect them to boost seasonals?

But I would pay so much for EX R SC Zinnia

[stuck mantle]

But this i think will be some how whit this mystery stones

[sharp lichen]

5/5 Archie and Maxie unlocking their primal forms would be cool

[stuck mantle]

Mf got exr

At least

Seasonals nothing

No exr no grid expansion 5/5

Like they forgot they exist in game

New have exr old no? Why

Dont get it realy

[rocky oasis]

summer steven has so many issues

support or tech ex would go a long way

field would be nice but less amazing than support for him imo

i really want more bulk and dmg on him

[heavy sinew]

Budget irida

[rocky oasis]

i aint optimistic about him getting field... or anything

[heavy sinew]

Support would be really nice, I just want him to get aggra for icicle crash

[rocky oasis]

would freeze still be worse?

[heavy sinew]

Isn't it 30%

probably

[rocky oasis]

well itd be better than flinch vs bulu and entei

i cant remember how freeze snap interacts w/ multihit moves

[sturdy steeple]

Just 30%

Unless a passive specifies it interacts with multi hit moves, it generally just doesn't

[karmic willow]

Something iss

Really off about this replay system

Like

It just... Doesn't work

[river cliff]

Huh... yeah that one just kind of breaks

[karmic willow]

@inner turret oh yeah can you update this clear for me?

https://youtu.be/ceb639zsLf4?si=jht7vMRcSWr15oPL

Dead in 2 syncs lol

[inner turret]

will see with nao

[rocky oasis]

shes been overkill vs bulu for a long time lol

looking forward to using her in DC

[vital ibex]

honing hit (special)

[dawn plume]

Move: Sp. Atk ^ 2 & Crit ^ 1

[chrome halo]

that is only available on his TM

[vital ibex]

[heavy sinew]

is caking redlax the move or should I wait for Brendan to get his?

[karmic willow]

what?

i mean

redlax can do well at 1/5

brendan should get 2/5 for HE1

[worthy horizon]

he said caking not candying

and idk how you think you're going to get more use out of ss brendan than redlax

[dawn plume]

they are both good picks but brendans a bit better

redlax is great for damage challenge if you care about that mode

which tbh i should cake him soon

[worthy horizon]

if you aren't like consistently hitting 1m in dc without exr redlax i think you need to upgrade

imo

just too useful there

[stuck mantle]

Yeap redlax sc steven or larry are good sup in dc

If lack rooster

[near kindle]

Is it okay to ask about general Legendary Gauntlet stuff here?

Wanting to get some more gems so I'm hoping to be able to clear the normal stuff here for the rest.

[worthy horizon]

yea

[near kindle]

are the perma challenges easy enough to clear? And do I need new teams for each one/

[true tartan]

there are some accessible units clears in the #1009562367803261078 pins iirc

yeah

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL44Ep0rXGBqkFZF00F_NscLFJb8RDINLw

this playlist has teams with accessible units for each Legendary Arena stage

[near kindle]

Not what I mean. Take Tapu Bulu's challenge, for instance. From what I gather, there's three parts to it. Do I need to use different teams for each part?

[worthy horizon]

nope

[true tartan]

nope

[near kindle]

Ah, alright.

So if I have something like Summer Liza, I can theoretically use her in multiple rounds?

[true tartan]

in Legendary Gauntlet, nope

[near kindle]

I mean, in multiple parts.

Like, use her in part 1, part 2, and part 3.

[true tartan]

in Legendary Arena, yes

[worthy horizon]

for all three bars yea

[stuck mantle]

O stdk i want ask you something

[true tartan]

what's up

[stuck mantle]

Wat is a chance then your sync crit? In %?

[true tartan]

80% crit

[stuck mantle]

Haha 🤣

[true tartan]

at +3

[stuck mantle]

I got 6 in row no crit🤣

Lucky me

[true tartan]

0: no chance
1:1/24
2: 50%
3: 80%

[stuck mantle]

Yeap i talk about +3 crit

And next question

Wat are range % in sync damage

[true tartan]

?

[stuck mantle]

Since they not always same

[true tartan]

no idea

[stuck mantle]

Low roll and max

?

[true tartan]

ah

90 to 100%

[stuck mantle]

So 10% around?

[true tartan]

11

there are 11 possible values from 90 to 100

[stuck mantle]

Hmm and its total random? No chance for max?

[true tartan]

linear afaik

each one has the same chance of happening

[stuck mantle]

Painfull🤣

[stuck mantle]

Thanks for info stdk;)

[true tartan]

no problem

[near kindle]

...Oh wow, Tornadus will just be bullying central

[lost juniper]

[stuck mantle]

Bianca is soo good

[vagrant crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-excited-happy-squirtle-hihihi-gif-7937582

I can retry Adaman's 1/5 on Raikou.
Farewell, Bianca... 😌

[pearl beacon]

Noice

She's so good at base, that's why I'm not candying her, for now

[lost juniper]

Yeah. Only reason I did is because i had no one else for this damage challenge. No Hop or Diantha 3/5 or A2 Gloria

And I would rather candy Bianca before all of them

[pearl beacon]

I really wanted to candy one top fighting unit, got all of them 1/5 and it's kinda boring
But scDiantha scored 1m, so I'll delay that

[stuck mantle]

Bianca is only for sup buff

On dc main nuker is hop

Bianca 1/5 can do it to

[pearl beacon]

Yeah, that's why I'm more towards cHop than cBianca

[stuck mantle]

Bianca 1/5 is good

Hop need 3/5

If not no dps

[pearl beacon]

Mostly bcs lg cHop need some extra and ig he will perform great even for future HS and got some improvement margin bcs of candy
I mean if cHop can reach 2m in singles it will be the same on triple

[stuck mantle]

Not sure

Since he have no exr

And 3 oponet move faster then 1

[pearl beacon]

Depend on stats, need to check datamine

[stuck mantle]

If hop got strike exr

[pearl beacon]

Also like for psychic if they have move like EQ they take longer

[stuck mantle]

Yep

Aoe is slow

[pearl beacon]

Oof there are no stats in the datamine from absol
Oh well it won't change much

[lost juniper]

Counterpoint: Bianca wants strike candies, Hop wants tech, and Hop is a low priority for tech

[pearl beacon]

Ye candy type is boring

cBianca 1/5 is alrd powerful and I think I'll drop a R
cHop need some help but I'm usually finding cheap duos with him

But my Strike/Tech situation is this

[chrome halo]

3/5 Adaman and 3/5 Glorialt
