Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)

[pearl beacon]

Ye they're on list, Gloria kinda at the bottom bcs of pfair

Candies are not a problem I usually hoard them, 10 each except for sprint/field

Support+field+sprint situation is even worse tho

Rn I'm focusing on Ice Darkn Flying bcs I have no alternatives
Followed by Ghost, aLillie aged so badly

~~and ssGladion he's pretty much guaranteed 3/5 ~~

[rocky oasis]

my candy situation

most of those strikers are fine as is imo

next striker candy is going to exr palmer

its the techs who really want candy

[pearl beacon]

Looks nice tho, maybe ssHilbo if you like him, he's nice for LG n DC aswell

[rocky oasis]

yep next candy is going to him

[shy sinew]

dang a hilbert haver, couldn't be me

[rocky oasis]

ofc i wont get my next tech candy till next month

so rip i guess

[shy sinew]

that's also... a lot of strike EX

[rocky oasis]

im on a quest to ex everything including the strikers

kabu is getting the ex next week

then soph and gloria

[blissful rose]

Tempted to candy SS Hilbert as well but I'm waiting to see whether Anni has any Bug MF or not before committing 2 candies on him.

[karmic willow]

Gladion

[sturdy steeple]

2/5 gladion is good enough for gauntlet stuff

[karmic willow]

really?

i mean

sync regen and

he can one shot bulu at 3

[sturdy steeple]

3/5 is indeed good

[karmic willow]

oh wait nvm regen is on 2/5

but

Overpower and Brainpower

gladion at 2/5 feels like he loses out on most of his damage

[sturdy steeple]

yeah, thats why 2/5 is usually good enough for gauntlet

[heavy sinew]

3/5 is a luxury

[kind imp]

3/5 was fun for 1k strength hs with 3/5 penny and 3/5 sp.burgh
Double sup/+4 sync buff, +6 smun, -6 sp.atk, -3 sp.def, -1 rebuff, piercing fleur cannon = 60% of the sides health
Sync then b-move again, ko sides and then +7 pmun regular fleur cannon
Can't wait for fairy DC

[river cliff]

There've been too many strikers needing to go past 1/5 recently

Though 2/5 seems to be a sweet spot for a lot of them

[pearl beacon]

I think this year has been really good for 1/5 Strikers
Probably only scAdaman really wants 2/5 but it's extremely worth

Last year was probably the worst, nyLisia Eusine Rose and Palmer to some extent

Ss Lysandre

[rocky oasis]

yeah eusine is really mediocre at 1/5

i only got him bc shiny suicune

1/5 palmer isnt terrible if youre willing to cake him

his b move murdered terrakion bar 2

[pearl beacon]

I hope for an extra random copy
His 2/5 is really nice

[river cliff]

NC Silver and SS Gladion want 2/5 minimum, NC Bianca wants 3/5

[sturdy steeple]

Bianca is good at all levels

[river cliff]

That's true, but each move level makes her a lot better

[lost juniper]

Yeah, 1/5 Gladion is useless. He's like Diantha but a lot stronger if I strictly speak at him with 1/5

Silver at least sets weather with is sometimes nice?

[scenic bolt]

He’s not useless(for 3v3 lol)

[lost juniper]

I mean sure but like in gauntlet he is

I guess he's good for Latias since on type and can debuff

[river cliff]

I still had to use him in trios the last 2 gauntlets

[scenic bolt]

Well striker badge for gauntlet if not tanky right

[pearl beacon]

The difference is that those perform great at base
Plus they're all mfairs and so sticking them with an eggmon is often more than enough

Bianca is one of the most profitable at 1/5
I mean more than half of all stages stages are cleared within 1/5 EXR

While the other two are pretty much self sufficient, but yeah 2/5 for utility and solos

But at least nothing requiring huge investments like the 2023 pairs

As a Rose fan his unit is qiite disappointing

Hope we'll get his tracksuit alt soon

[river cliff]

I'm still salty they didn't give him gmax Melmetal, it would've been perfect for him

[pearl beacon]

Since Gloria and Galar debut i hoped for Rose as poison mfair w Eternatus

But rip

[river cliff]

As soon as Leon got it I was resigned

Melmetal could still happen though, steel type and a regional gimmick to boot

[pearl beacon]

Villains mfairs were cool
Hope we can get Volo that way

[river cliff]

Depending on how they write Sada and Turo that could happen too

[pearl beacon]

Oh right forgot abt them
~~ they need to stick the mc to box legendary in order to sell them ~~

But i'll take paradox instead

[river cliff]

Iron Valiant and Roaring Moon are cool

[pearl beacon]

Yeah

[true tartan]

so... what Training units will get the first solos?!

[stuck mantle]

If i got it 2 day ago marnie i prob candy and do solo stdk

Since im 1 ticket away from 300😒

[true tartan]

Marnie is the one that is not solo friendly

you'd go to fully invest her?

I can think any japanese player will go and attempt some of the units lol

[stuck mantle]

Not now since im sad

Thet 1 shity ticket is not possibel too get befor today reset

If i got 1 nobody got befor me i would candy marnie

But today? Will be hundreds off player getting it and some candy

No point lok

[true tartan]

well, some have dedication with the units they like haha

look at me coming with Sabrina solos

[stuck mantle]

I like but if got it 2 day ago

[true tartan]

and I dislike how her solos are hahaha

[stuck mantle]

21k score look easy too get

But not when your sync not crit or low rolles

[true tartan]

just be fast I suppose

get the 1 ticket and rush if you want hahaha

and still, not all people will pick Marnie imo

[stuck mantle]

I try get but got low rolls from sync

[true tartan]

or not, I suppose there's the incentive

since the Dark/Ghost event is happening ,right

[stuck mantle]

Never even score same score like befor🤣

Always lower haha

How i can do more then

Never got 1 sync high like one run

Yeap alot can pick marnie for hse

Special when is drak stage no tech

[true tartan]

I'm not picking her... I'm still debating on who

🤔

guess this will be a rare time we'll don't see entries from you

[karmic willow]

ugh

no spirits left

can't ex nemona 😦

[heavy sinew]

first time I've seen someone say that

[karmic willow]

[heavy sinew]

I thought people would have a lot of spirits

apparently not

[worthy horizon]

nah there's a bunch of people who lack

[heavy sinew]

interesting

I thought majority would lack on instead

[stuck mantle]

Not me

Gold i have a tone from scouts

Same bronze

[heavy sinew]

Ton of bronze but lack of gold

maybe I don't scout enough

[stuck mantle]

Dont see wat we can do whit this bronze power ups

Should be way more option off exchange this shit

This realy us-less

[true tartan]

nao also suffers from that afaik

[heavy sinew]

Hmmm

[true tartan]

raise eggmons

[stuck mantle]

Hehe

She at home:)

[bitter gate]

What the

Is it the third one already or

[stuck mantle]

No lol 1 copy

I have 408 ticket -300

[bitter gate]

Yeah but is it the third BC already

Or is it just hop nemona

[true tartan]

yeah

if you did 1M in each

you can get any of them

[heavy sinew]

My mind's saying it's worth

But my other half says wait for lyra

[bitter gate]

So hops is over?

[true tartan]

[true tartan]

yeah? 3v3 lasts 4 days, ST lasts 3

[bitter gate]

Oh it's the bug one now

Mfw I still can't get one

Lol

[kind imp]

shit i forgot cyrus was today

[heavy sinew]

dw it's only 14 minutes into the reset

[kind imp]

happly i'm just 15 mins late

[twin aurora]

I think it can solo Regirock now… someday I almost did it but now don’t have time rn to try it

[heavy sinew]

good luck

[true tartan]

the face of max investment

go for it...

[heavy sinew]

actually

Maybe now I can try it just EX

[twin aurora]

Face of max investment on one type ;D

[kind imp]

ye

[twin aurora]

But Darkrai is fav

[kind imp]

i talked a bit with g_hyper ways to do it the other day

#1012311116778586182 message

[heavy sinew]

is it wise to use umbral healing instead

or just go with that

[kind imp]

umbral healing

i forgot to update the grid

[heavy sinew]

running vigi instead of mgr for LS

I think it's the play since the crits kill

Idk how much he can heal with regi blasting with +1 crit

[kind imp]

i think mgr might work too

i'll be going stoic

[heavy sinew]

alright

what's the grid tho?

Might drop a sync tile in favor or something else

[kind imp]

depends on the route i think

i'm doing this one

bc i want to farm 4 syncs to one shot bar 2

and skip +1 crit

[heavy sinew]

I see

[kind imp]

idea from g_hyper

[heavy sinew]

gonna try that then

[twin aurora]

Soften up lucky cookie when

[true tartan]

Rafa!

[bright brook]

lol

could actually get soften up 1 on grid now

[worthy horizon]

yeah i'm just gonna run that from now on

by default maybe

[heavy sinew]

damn

Its very hard to damage control bar 1

with underwhelming gauge without mgr

I can only manage to sync 3 times in bar 1

[kind imp]

iron defense and late second tm

[heavy sinew]

that's what I was doing

but I can't get the enough dmg ranges to do it

Maybe stoic is the wave

at least it's a cushion after it syncs

Ima try in the morning tho

3 am

[worthy horizon]

yea very free now

[bright brook]

https://youtu.be/v8-YCQSrbZw?si=64W99Ve_QAcuksy3

SS silver at home

[stuck mantle]

1/5?

[kind imp]

i'll have to do the same

gn

[true tartan]

who'll follow?

[stuck mantle]

5/5?

Wat the fuck

You use 4 candy?

And 100k orbs jesus

[true tartan]

commitment lol

[stuck mantle]

I expect snow redonho

[worthy horizon]

rednhoho is very inactive

did comment on one of snow's videos recently but that's it

[stuck mantle]

Akro not expect do it🙂‍↔️

[bright brook]

Wally!

I expect the rest to at best just solo latios

Well hugh probably solos bulu as well bc he's on type

[worthy horizon]

i think nemona has a shot vs bulu with having both overwhelm and staggering

other than that yea mostly just latios solos

[bright brook]

🤔

[worthy horizon]

hugh might be able to get entei and raikou too...

marnie is doomed to latios tho

[karmic willow]

BROOOO

[true tartan]

?

[karmic willow]

like

5/5 +10E even

meanwhile i can't ex nemona yet 😦

next week it's her and lodge kabu on the menu

[worthy horizon]

3 days to lodge kabu for me xd

2 if i'm lucky

hardly bothered with minmaxing lodge interactions until now

[karmic willow]

Next week I will kick bulu's butt

Looking good

[bright brook]

tfw i got kabu uxie but couldnt find the footage

also bulu is probably out of the question....

[karmic willow]

No lithic healing belike

Speed is good so tm reliant

Though

I realistically cannot see how she can shred it in time

Bar 2 done then you are still under terrain

[stuck mantle]

You candy nemona?

Wat the heck

4 candy ? You guys are spend it away like they grow on tree

[hallow gull]

[stuck mantle]

5 ani around the corner and you spend on free units not 2 but 4?🙂‍↔️

Jesus

After dont want see cry no candy for master fairs🤣

[sturdy steeple]

This is LG chat not "berate others on their choices constantly" chat

Let's be kind

[chrome halo]

Their choices of investment don't affect you at all, so please avoid saying that

[stuck mantle]

Lol ok;) not my problem:) just want give advice;) its all

[rocky oasis]

for some people money really does grow on trees

not our buisness what people do w/ their irl $$$

if someones buying the candy bundle every time they might really have a couple omnis sitting around

bc whale

[sturdy steeple]

besties

with himself..

[river cliff]

I was today years old when I realized that (at least as far as the pairs I have go) no ghost type sync pairs are weak to ghost

[pearl beacon]

Aren't you pulling almost everything 5/5?

[river cliff]

Theoretically if you were lucky enough you could 5/5 every character without spending a dime

[chrome halo]

too bad we are not the chosen one

[bright brook]

Why didn't you pick it up?

Lithic healing?

[karmic willow]

No only 2

I am not

Stdk

[karmic willow]

Bro i did

But like

No zone

Cuz no ex

So no lithic healing lol

[karmic willow]

So true call him out 🤣

Fattest whale in here

[bright brook]

Okay then the question would be why did you pick it up

Bc lithic healing for 1 use of rock zone that appears as soon as the battle starts isn't worth it

What grid were you running i may have had some ideas

[karmic willow]

i mean how else are you gonna sustain

look

i have a full plan for him but I need nemona ex

which i don't have enough spirits to

[bright brook]

Can you do it if she's EX?

[karmic willow]

i don't have the answer to that

yet

on next cs reset we'll see

but

here's the plan

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/28900/74500?s=5&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=24010501&g=AAECAwQFCQsNFBcaHB8iJCcpLg

you will have 0 gauge without tm

and nemona CAN miss without minimal +6

so yeah, not a lot of fun

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/28900/74500?s=3&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=24010501&g=AAECAwQFCQsNFBcaHB8iIyQu

this is far more risky

but you can blitz bar 3 with it I feel

bar 2 is gonna be absolutely horrendous

nemona can reduce all the attack in the world but that freaking energy ball

[bright brook]

Hmm do 90 accuracy with stone edge MPR

[karmic willow]

yeah

i feel that'd be the case

she can easily duo

[bright brook]

Now that i think about it nemona sucks

Invert gave me some hope but yea she sucks

[karmic willow]

nobody's denying that fact

but

she IS nemona (my 3rd favorite pokegal) so.....

gonna aim for marnie next

cuz hse

[hallow gull]

You climb that shit ?

[karmic willow]

idk

i'lll let you do it and I steal teams

[hallow gull]

Dark/Ghost HSE is so awful that i dont want to play it

For now

[chrome halo]

"for now"

[hallow gull]

Need to wait few days for candy 😦

[karmic willow]

i bet you already aiming for that top 100 again

so

good luck

counting on you to carry my ass

cuz i do NOT have enough units for this time

[hallow gull]

Smh i dont even reroll my gear yet

[karmic willow]

pyuko gonna bamboozle me again trust

every time

i've probably given up on hse

just do lg for now

[pearl beacon]

No ncMarnie cake
Time to boycott

[sturdy steeple]

Don't worry!! CCalem has a role!! Surely this will be incredibly helpful

[karmic willow]

dodge hax my hatred

[lost juniper]

Marnie is so OP she doesn't need cake

[lost juniper]

At least he has more usage than in Ultimate Battles

[heavy sinew]

Surely it's field like the good supports

[dawn plume]

i havent touched hse yet is it really that bad

[sturdy steeple]

since when has it ever been good

[dawn plume]

True...

i enjoyed the bug weak damage challenge but if i didnt have exr ss hilbert i probably would not have

i dont have c marnie or sc irida i am kinda screwed for it anyways

or akari

[heavy sinew]

probably

no akari, no tea Lillie, missing another few

[karmic willow]

i hate that i always don't have all the units for it

the closest one i have right now is fire but

i'm sure the second type will completely screw me over

[kind imp]

I touched it once with my best type roster

It was ok

[heavy sinew]

i like doing the 1k strength battles but most of the time i dont have the units for it

[kind imp]

Slightly less p2w than I expected

[lost juniper]

Bug is fine actually since I have EX R Hilbert but given how even Guzma gives more than a million it's not terrible

I hate it less than Hop's fight

[true tartan]

I didn't do those runs you know lol

[heavy sinew]

[lost juniper]

https://youtu.be/e_t6CcWT41I?si=ZjdNGRC15OgQSwmC

It is possible after all

Now Uxie is on the table

[true tartan]

11 having 11 now

[sturdy steeple]

[heavy sinew]

[pearl beacon]

Time to break that

[lost juniper]

Well someone needs to do Uxie

Rafa?

[heavy sinew]

how do you even win?

Out heal?

[lost juniper]

Pretty much yeah

Cyrus spams dark void

[heavy sinew]

from what I know you could probably get 4-5 debuffs until immunity

[lost juniper]

Uxie gets debuffed regardless if it fails or not

[heavy sinew]

oh

Ohhhh

[lost juniper]

Unless I'm wrong but he should outlast and slowly push through Bar 1

Kinda like how SC-Selene does it

[heavy sinew]

No you're rigt

Has a chance (100%) of lowering one of the following stats of all opposing sync pairs by one stat rank at random when the user’s Pokémon uses a status move: Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, Speed, accuracy, or evasiveness.

I thought it only worked when the opponent was asleep

I've been living a lie for the past 2-3 years

[worthy horizon]

i can see uxie

[true tartan]

[pliant glen]

Man what

[pearl beacon]

His main passive yeah works only w asleep

[worthy horizon]

bad break no shared nightmare yes

[lost juniper]

His damage overtime is only when asleep

Debuffs always

[pearl beacon]

Oh right the expansion

Oof need more field cakes

[rocky oasis]

should have a field cake ready by monday

gonna sipport cake emma too

and lower the bulu solo

[lost juniper]

What on monday? Poison now?

[rocky oasis]

poison on tuesday

3v1

[heavy sinew]

poison is single

[lost juniper]

Oh that's bad for me. I have Geeta but my Oleana is 2/5

And SS Roxie 1/5

[vital ibex]

Yeah im so cooked for poison lmaoo

My only poison limiteds are ariana and petrel

Both 1/5 and uninvested

[rocky oasis]

my best options are 2/5 geeta and 3/5 emma

like that aint bad but still

[chrome halo]

Emma is awkward with her B Move animation

i just got 2/5 Oleana from mix but i want to invest in 3/5 A Skyla first

[heavy sinew]

just need to nuke and geeta nuke is

fine?

[dawn plume]

rafa my hero

umbral healing so good on him

[heavy sinew]

Dang he tanked sync very well

gears probably?

[kind imp]

Rock dr 3% and +50 defense gears

[stuck mantle]

Nice regi

[heavy sinew]

That makes sense

Very good gears

[kind imp]

No speed tho

[dawn plume]

+50 def is crazy

hes running umbral acceleration on grid

which actually might be optimal now with field exr

the +40 speed from cake is also a blessing

thinking abt it

[kind imp]

oh wtf
i thought sprint was the only one giving +40 spe bc it's that's literally the role
ok now i know what each role gives

[worthy horizon]

yeah the +40 was massive

[twin aurora]

Acero…. ACEROLA GEAR OH MY GAAAAD

[rocky oasis]

still waiting for that eventual sslyra torn solo

[stuck mantle]

On 25 bro

[rocky oasis]

yep

[rocky oasis]

gonna cake ss kris when she gets her field

bc dear god is that terrakion solo miserable

[tender horizon]

HI ACEROLA FAN?

[rocky oasis]

do i count as a acerola fan for exing her

[tender horizon]

Do u worship her existence?

[sturdy steeple]

(you should)

[heavy sinew]

real?

[karmic willow]

maybe

i mean i ex'd both lodge and base (base got that funny frame in the lodge)

but i'm no froppy

or froopy or whatever

i think acerola deserves that ex outfit

[scenic bolt]

Why does adaman

Have so much solo

[stuck mantle]

Since he is good

Mf and sc

[karmic willow]

self sustain

actual damage to push through things

can check a lot of gimmicks

i'm surprised he cannot do latias

though, it is quite understandable if you don't have stalwart, you might be debuffed to hell

[lost juniper]

SS Hilda gear

With this Latias might finally be doable

[karmic willow]

holy hell

[scenic bolt]

Holy hell is right

Jeezus Christ triple gold

[worthy horizon]

not opp status cond so it only counts as user status cond

only functions if you're the one statused

[true tartan]

I have a good Fire Gear that I made "by accident"

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/960306675473084426/1257732513250541578/Screenshot_2024-07-02-11-19-42-373_com.dena.a12026418.jpg?ex=668ac02e&is=66896eae&hm=6fac9f8e606300c844d9934064e4e0c7a16ebad09cf65fd39a2ac8a6c589873b&

was trying to make a damaging pin, ended up getting a Fire Pin lol

almost maxed HP, maxed Def/SAtk... and 3 maxed damaging skills

if that Defense was Attack... it would've been pretty universal haha

[inner turret]

ayo

[kind imp]

i got a really good ss lyra full set somehow by accident

[heavy sinew]

kabu gear

[kind imp]

No pins

I love this bracelet

[lost juniper]

I know, but still 8% special dr is what important

[worthy horizon]

ye

[errant plume]

Personally, I like this gear

[kind imp]

the ny volkner torn pin

i also have a weird amount of grassy terrain/grass dr gears for bulu

[errant plume]

Can also be good for SS Hau too

[lost juniper]

SST Red gear

I need this for Leon's UB

[errant plume]

[lost juniper]

I'm trying a duo of SST Red and NC Blue on Leon with 1/5 Red

I almost got it, but this stupid Charizard is too bulky

[bright brook]

not getting rafa'd at +2 crit feels like a dream

[heavy sinew]

3% and a dream

oh it's on Latios

1/5?

[bright brook]

1/5 EXR

[heavy sinew]

ah

awesome

[bright brook]

ss cyrus never feels so bad

[lost juniper]

Now Bulu?

Or it hits too hard for this to work?

[bright brook]

i dont think i can do it on any other one beside latios

even latios is difficult due to the lack of gauge

[lost juniper]

I see

[rocky oasis]

2/5 ss cyrus is better than ever at least

id imagine umbral healing does wonders for gauge

[dawn plume]

1/5 solo wow

field exr

its sst red again

[lost juniper]

Nah, if it was SST Red he'd reduce most of his solos to 1/5 EX R

[heavy sinew]

cyrus on his way to solo moltres with EXr (it's not happening)

[loud shell]

Just gotta dark pulse flinch into 8 FT2 procs

[pearl beacon]

That's so cool

Yeah sync is a damn coin toss

[lost juniper]

After testing, I don't think I got any better results with SS Hilda on Latias

She still isn't quite bulky enough to survive Latias' onslaught of moves

[mint osprey]

Damn these guys be cooking fast with DC pairs
https://youtu.be/Og5kQk739eg

I assume just 1/5 EX

[lost juniper]

They don't have EX R

So yeah 1/5 EX

[karmic willow]

let's go gambling

[rocky oasis]

i assume the whales have lots of candy just sitting around lol

[dawn plume]

this is a duo huh

surprised marnie is the one tanking

lol focus miss

[river cliff]

I wonder if it could go cheaper with something like support Sobble

Though Reflect was probably pretty important

[dawn plume]

with more dupes perhaps

sabrinas accuracy buffs are likely needed

this is focus miss we are dealing with

[river cliff]

Marnie can probably solo at 3/5

[dawn plume]

i'd be surprised

her gauge is really bad

sabrina is giving speed buffs which is doing a lot of heavy lifting

this run already uses stoic

[river cliff]

Nah, you get access to dark zone nodes and mini potion refreshes

If nothing else it's probably free with something like Seadra

[dawn plume]

i think she'll need speed buffs

no matter what

just no way she can solo with 3 bar moves no speed buffs and having to run stoic

especially when registeel hits her with rock tombs

[worthy horizon]

her entire sustain is just mini potions and umbral healing

terrify 1 too ig

and her gauge is reliant on umbral acceleration

[rocky oasis]

shes just really mediocre imo

[stuck mantle]

Good but in duo

Solo if have unlimited mini maybe do 1

[worthy horizon]

wonder what she could do with tech umbreon

[stuck mantle]

He olny have 😌 30% flinch

[worthy horizon]

yea

[stuck mantle]

If have more then would be good partner

[worthy horizon]

just more zone more umbral acceleration and mgr2

[stuck mantle]

Yeap but it run fast

For lg marnie need better partner

[worthy horizon]

there's always tech sprig as well

[stuck mantle]

Next one will be test it out

My next pick after marnie gladion

This is way better ice partner have

[lost juniper]

She could probably get Latios

And pretty much only Latios

[worthy horizon]

yep

[rocky oasis]

im suprised gladion was first

instead of wally or hugh

then again gladion is pretty popular

[worthy horizon]

the amount of people that can/want to do solos and would candy it this early has to be super low

so it just comes down to what they choose

[rocky oasis]

not gonna be one of them unfortunately

my next field candy is hogged by geeta

[lost juniper]

I mean Akr0 was willing to use 4 candies on him to do these solos so there's that

I am surprised skippingmud wasn't trying with Wally given he already got him, but maybe that's because there are other rivals too

[pearl beacon]

Only abt time ig

Whales or top players can get one unit almost every week

[lost juniper]

Yeah, though it's hard to choose since none of them are amazing and are all kinda comparable

[pearl beacon]

Yup, I'm going for 1/5 everyone
They all have eother good amount of debuffs or sustain to dilute clears at worst
Then Gladion 3/5, I really like the double unfort4 and sustain
Probably maxing Nemona as last

Wish she had some sort of sync refill for that Accelerock

[heavy sinew]

Y'all chose your first one already?

[pearl beacon]

Yup, Nemona
Ironicall first to get, last to 3/5

But I don't have her & pawmo so that's why

[worthy horizon]

i'm still very surprised i managed to hit 300 tickets in three rounds

when i had to run with an f2p team for psychic

just happened to have 3/5 c hop and ss hilbert

[scenic bolt]

I’m sad the 2 nemonas we have in the game are so burst oriented

I like sustain damage

[heavy sinew]

1 field, 1 omni

save or use on any?

[sturdy steeple]

save for now

[heavy sinew]

gotcha

[rocky oasis]

use on selene if anni doesnt bring anything you want

[heavy sinew]

hopefully they don't (they probably will)

[sturdy steeple]

ye

[karmic willow]

Time for solo

[worthy horizon]

you're candying?

[karmic willow]

It's nemona so....

[worthy horizon]

gl

[karmic willow]

Oh god i hope i don't regret this

[worthy horizon]

mainly she just gets latios

there's some potential for bulu but it could be really really bad

this upload is taking a while but i got 2/5 ex done pretty quickly

you're not doing it at 1/5 i think but other than that you could lower investment a lot more if you wanted

danger dodge so you can lean into evasion

[stuck mantle]

Not sure if she can get any solo

I test 1/5 marnie

And can tell you base need like infinity potions

She beat whit 2 only dragonite

Same like nemona itc they dont have good grid

[worthy horizon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWUaTPinuE0

also i added this to the other kabu latios solo earlier

[pearl beacon]

TL Kabu is so good, got him today and damn alrd have 3 different grid setups

[worthy horizon]

i was so unlucky the previous two days that i wasn't sure i was going to get him by today

needed a +15 interaction

but i got it

having only a few spdef buffs and no stalwart is bad for entei even though he has innate unbending and flameproof/interference immunity on grid

and pretty low damage output for bulu on top of having to put up with lessen interference

so bulu has a ton of time to heal off grassy terrain

[pearl beacon]

And bulu gets trap immune at some point

[worthy horizon]

yea that's lessen interference

the big wall

[pearl beacon]

But ig could be manageable by delaying
Danger dodge could be fun maybe for a Uxie clear

Or nah he gets trap immune way faster

[worthy horizon]

working on uxie

akro said he got it but didn't have a recording

[pearl beacon]

Cool then

[errant plume]

Good Luck

[karmic willow]

Ah yes the one crit to ruin it all

[bright brook]

good luck

[worthy horizon]

ty i imagine i'm going to have to spend a bunch of time on it lol

[bright brook]

remember to trap uxie after half bar 1

[worthy horizon]

ofc

[bright brook]

and hope you burn quick so it doesnt cure

stall a bit early bar 2 as well

i spent like 2 hours trying to get in done again but didnt get it

then had to delay it because of the flood of new content

[pearl beacon]

Ooooof, para and crit

Crit(s)

[pliant glen]

Last Larry solo before he departs for Mix Scout 0.0016% https://vxtwitter.com/Luri_Choucho/status/1810327528810377390

[errant plume]

Don't remember who wanted to solo Uxie with SS Cyrus, well it's done https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vAKBmlyFhQ

[heavy sinew]

3rd bar dodge simulator

with no vigi

[stuck mantle]

Larry king🤣

And he say he is too old and fire up🙂‍↔️

No no

[dawn plume]

ss cyrus 12/14

dark void on wide awake opponent has a pretty fast animation huh

[karmic willow]

yup

you'd burn out like crazy

but yeah umbral healing is CRACKED

[bright brook]

ss cyrus in a stall/bruteforce clear looks so wrong

[lost juniper]

I did, good to see it

[rocky oasis]

that doesnt look too bad tbh

I cant see him touching moltres or torn unfortunately

[lost juniper]

It's a zone mpr simulator, but I can see why he was hesitant to use them though

[lost juniper]

Yeah that's never gonna happen

I could see him going cheap on Tornadus with some paralysers but why would you use him there

[rocky oasis]

i can see moltres duo working tho idk how many sync buffs he needs to OHKO bar 2

bc power play is great

[lost juniper]

He can already duo as is

Even without EX R with 2 weather uses

Like him with Vaporeon works well

[errant plume]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfqsvaN2j9c

[tender horizon]

Hasnt that always been easy

[errant plume]

yeah

[karmic willow]

Maybe

I needed

Better gear

But damn

I was THIS close with the bulu solo

Bar 2 12 percent

Alright

Made it through 2 unscathed

One C R I T fucking wood hammer deleted me

@sturdy steeple 😦

It was so peak

Until it wasn't

[hallow gull]

🔨

[karmic willow]

But yeah

I did it

Though

Didn't record 😭😭😭

Maybe i'll do it again once max invested but

Basically

Flinch is funny

Is it hard? Not really

But

That bar 3 crit man

It suuuuuuuckksssssss

[true tartan]

how did you end up candying her lol

but at least you got it done haha (no video tho...)

[karmic willow]

Also

Latios solo

Cringe

0 flinch gaming

😦

[karmic willow]

Will redo it once i get her to 5/5 from dc

[karmic willow]

Well i had one zone candy lying around and well, no summer acerola

[raven crane]

https://tenor.com/view/rika-pokemon-scarlet-and-violet-gay-lesbian-androgynous-gif-27192503

[karmic willow]

I swear

Dragon breath has HE10

On latios

That shit always lands

[true tartan]

I can understand dragonbreath paralyzing

but.... you know what is annoying?

Thunderbolt paralyzing you after taking the sides haha

[karmic willow]

Trueeeeeeeeeee

[worthy horizon]

i think lodge kabu can do entei but just lacking stalwart makes it super rng heavy

need to dodge a whole lot of spdef debuffs though danger dodge can help

worth it to skip moral support

and there's no skipping vigilance

[worthy horizon]

there's a way

well, maybe

gets both para and trap immune right after that

and not enough power to bar skip

but it's at least close

much closer than i previously imagined

just have to avoid trapping in bar 3 before half bar and get more synthesis mprs

won't grind that out, just fiddling

i think i only needed 1 synthesis mpr to reach that point?

it was 2

don't think any other of the remaining arenas are nearly as possible for bp barry

regirock's lithe on bar 2 slows down para spam a ton on top of having satisfied snarl 9

[median swan]

i've tried it before and i've gotten to that point too

stun spore spam doesn't work well in bar 3 second half

[worthy horizon]

ah yea

[median swan]

so he'll probably need more synthesis mprs

i think someone suggested that he saves para for bar 3 second half too

[worthy horizon]

yeah that does seem better than para first half, trap second half

[median swan]

either way it's still pretty annoying haha, i told myself i'd try it again once i get him to +10e

[worthy horizon]

understandable

[median swan]

but hope you get it if you're gonna attempt more!

[worthy horizon]

i could def throw in a few more attempts sometime

i'll let it rest for now though

there's a few similarities with lodge kabu that got me curious about a few things

• dc giving him a whole ton of use

[rocky oasis]

gl

i remember people speculating sbout it a while ago

like back when he came out

hopefully less miserable than the sc lillie solo

bc oh boy did i hate doing it

[worthy horizon]

yea i wasn't active here yet but i still knew since release that he'd be good at solo stuff

still very far ahead of the rest of the bp units which all get 2 max

[worthy horizon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOW1tk-BAQU kabu x2 showcase

[river cliff]

Wonder if it's doable with tech Charizard

I guess the healing would be a problem

[worthy horizon]

i don't think kabu eggmon is possible under sun

still need quite a bit more to survive

[raven crane]

Kabtwo.

[pearl beacon]

Charizard melting 🫠

[river cliff]

I could see BP Erika potentially working

[bright brook]

I mean....never underestimate the power of moltres...even when without sun

Moltres haunted me in my dream back in LG10 so i got scared and ate bucket of KFC chicken

[pearl beacon]

Revenge

[karmic willow]

very nice

[stuck mantle]

Stdk you now all:) if unit have soften up crit land more easy but some say it also make you hit less damage from sync then ? Or how it work thanks

[raven crane]

It does not do that.

[stuck mantle]

Ok thanks

[worthy horizon]

yea definitely sounded like bs

[stuck mantle]

Some one say it in one group its why ask since no info it low damage but better ask befor use it🤣

[lost juniper]

It's the same damage yeah

I used soften up for SS Steven against Uxie

[pearl beacon]

I think you mean innate sync crit chance like Cyrus or Selene
They got nerfed syncs bcs of that
But beside that Soften Up passives are not lowering

Wonder if we have Mega w inmate crit chances need to check

[raven crane]

Well that still doesn’t inherently lower the power of the Sync “secretly.” Since you can still see the base power is lowered. Feel what the other guy is talking about would be more of a hidden mechanic.

[pearl beacon]

Yep

[raven crane]

Didn’t notice they had lower Sync power though.

Good to know.

[chrome halo]

[pearl beacon]

Oh just 160 at 1/5

I thought worse

[graceful folio]

[true tartan]

what everyone said

I was already going to sleep and didn't check haha

[lost juniper]

https://youtu.be/CmIV25LwyCM?si=FwZXPflUEK12k78s

Redhono returned

[true tartan]

Altaria's first solo...

[stuck mantle]

Eva gamming nice

I was expect skipp do it first

[dawn plume]

if there's a dodge there's a way

[heavy sinew]

+3 Eva wow

[dawn plume]

well, hitting on type with an innate sync multiplier and having debuffs certainly helps as well lol

[raven crane]

Nah, just an overpowered birb.

https://tenor.com/view/jaiden-animations-gif-24013013

[lost juniper]

I do wonder if Tornadus is doable

He has healing and evasion

[vital ibex]

he'd probably have to ohko bar 3

[pearl beacon]

Noice, happy to see him back

[worthy horizon]

note the non-ex

though idk how many powerups he used

[lost juniper]

6

At least from what I saw in stdk's doc

[sturdy steeple]

Should've just done level 150 smh

[lost juniper]

@ skippingmud

[median swan]

give me the sprint candies

[rocky oasis]

honestly cobalion is def on the table judging from ss cynthias solo

[true tartan]

[median swan]

think he has bulu and coba in him

then maybe torn

[worthy horizon]

i think cobalion would be viable but bulu and torn could be rng hell

[lost juniper]

Bulu is probably possible with enough evasion

[worthy horizon]

should be pretty rng-free if you can spare spdef buffs like from support pory

has everything for entei besides the special tanking

[pearl beacon]

Stalwart

[heavy sinew]

Gem rally we are so fucking back

[dawn plume]

GEMS?????

[pearl beacon]

Were

[karmic willow]

only

from the Poma Twitter

but my god it's gems

after SO LONG

[pearl beacon]

Ooof

I'll take that

https://tenor.com/view/cartoons-fox-poor-gif-10729250

[dawn plume]

its actually been half a year lmao

last one was iono

in january

[heavy sinew]

I'll take 3k

as long as I get klara

lost faith in getting yarrdenia

[dawn plume]

https://tenor.com/view/chatting-essaying-pepebean-gif-4628166332272270638

dena intern typing klaras b move

i actually checked and it is the longest move description of any move in the game

good job klara i aint readin all that

[heavy sinew]

Why is it so long wtf

[dawn plume]

theres a lot goin on here

but uh

when its physical it restores her hp a bit

depending on how much

[pearl beacon]

Just the activation is a spam of pmun smun wording entirely

[dawn plume]

could be good for solos

[pearl beacon]

Activation Condition: When the user’s Physical Moves ↑ Next effect or Special Moves ↑ Next effect is increased.
Deactivation Condition: When the user’s Physical Moves ↑ Next effect and Special Moves ↑ Next effect are not increased.

Btw it's easier that it looks

[dawn plume]

tldr

if pmun > smun, move is physical, if smun >= pmun is special
if physical, atk/def-2 and heals
if special, spatk/spdef-2 and gives free move next

[worthy horizon]

there's a physical and special component and the description has to word that and the transition and activation

[dawn plume]

it also is 100% poison chance

[rocky oasis]

pretty sure it can only switch between them w/ the max move?

bc otherwise they should be euqal

[dawn plume]

whenever she uses poison jab or sludge bomb she gets +1 pmun or smun respectively

so she can alternate her b move and normal moves

max move gives her a burst +3 of either pmun or smun

[pearl beacon]

You can bmove twice

[dawn plume]

you can bmove twice in a row if you have both smun and pmun yeah

one will be physical and one special though

she will pair nicely with units like c rosa, elaine, and iono who give it repeatedly

[pearl beacon]

She's so weird, doesn't looks like extremely powerful

[dawn plume]

shes very similar to ss roxie

[pearl beacon]

But tech+Strike are always something

[dawn plume]

poison "tech" that just shits out damage

i think roxie is probably a bit better still

[pearl beacon]

Ye
Klara looks more focused on bringing dps constantly and mixed dmg

Something good for a DC mode that was designed in the first place
Now we need our turn skippers and big nuker

[dawn plume]

probably not a coincidence the ranked dc coming later this month includes the single target poison weak stage yeah lol

[stuck mantle]

Wow 3k gems jesus

They remeber twitter rally exist wow .

Good finaly its back

[blissful rose]

Dayum, retweet rally after so long. We are frothing at the mouth.

[heavy sinew]

[bright brook]

it took me 5 hours to invite 8 friends

[pliant glen]

Teach me your ways

[bright brook]

Have a spare phone lol

[pliant glen]

And you made 8 accounts?

[blissful rose]

Multiple friends at the same time.

[chrome halo]

imagine having irl friends

[quaint tartan]

imagine living in a country there the referral works

[lost juniper]

I invited 1. Didn't feel like doing more

[pearl beacon]

Did it anyway, I mean they should not know

[quaint tartan]

[worthy horizon]

2 exr, i think 3 exr could manage?

healthy healing

or i could reset for full para on crit thunder and other stuff lol

[pearl beacon]

Yeah, he got so much stuff
The 50% freebie on rebuff looks huge for him

[worthy horizon]

yea lotta privileges

though i'm not totally certain what it actually amounts to

[raven crane]

Larry is just that guy.

It's just business as usual.

[bright brook]

Props to you for even attempting larry clears without recup2

[worthy horizon]

haha i'm still attempting lodge kabu vs uxie but if i find any other ideas crossing my mind i'll gladly take the opportunity to test them out

because uh

but if i'm going to take the time to grind anything out it'd be that

[bright brook]

Hope you get both of them done soon

I'd jump on the ship but im just working on so much stuff rn

[bright brook]

https://youtu.be/M8O7Jp4Lr50?si=SJ_dKXKcm5Wfyld5

bruh moment

[stuck mantle]

Lol how you get 2 unit?

Wat the heck is this 999 lv player? Its clear like sky its imposibel have this trainer lv in game.

[bright brook]

Hmm probably a bug 🤔

[karmic willow]

Why you ask when you probably have 2 or more already

Lmfao

[karmic willow]

How 5/5 wally

Bro making skippingmud cry lmfao

[stuck mantle]

Me? How? Im after get marnie i have 273 tickets left for 2 unit wat will be gladion tommorow.

[bright brook]

you said you did nenona bulu right?

tell me how you did it

[karmic willow]

you can wait for my video

[bright brook]

but you said you didn't record 🤔

[tender horizon]

Maybe photoshopped?

[karmic willow]

i will record once i get 5/5 nemona which is in a few days

kekw

but

you do need around 4/5 for extra energy

[bright brook]

but you did get it done with 3/5 right?

just no recording?

[inner turret]

You think?

[pearl beacon]

There's actually one guy at 999 lmao

[pliant glen]

0/20, wonder if she can even make this at EX or not. Vigilance LS.

It's either 1/5 EX Fast-Tracks or 2/5 reliant on Water Gun MGRs

[inner turret]

Oh yeah definitely

I got a unlucky shadow ball crit but it's 100% possible

twice wtf stop critting that ball

[lost juniper]

I couldn't do it with Vigilance. Problem is crits are gonna be painful after half Bar 2 without Vigilance

[inner turret]

Didn't crit my sync on bar 2 tho

[heavy sinew]

Wtf

No way that's possible

[sturdy steeple]

Lone victor

[heavy sinew]

Request

[inner turret]

Lol
Lmao even

@worthy horizon

[gleaming cypress]

how did that do 21k

oh piercing blows

[lost juniper]

Piercing Blows is real nice

[gleaming cypress]

piercing blows is basically a middle finger to most LG gimmicks and i love it

probs why otherwise mid units like solg and base N are decent here

[lost juniper]

Yeah. Neither can solo because their gauge suck but they're good counters to most arenas

Maybe if N got infinite paralysis procs he could solo Tornadus

[bright brook]

If they have piercing blows, they are not mid units

[sturdy steeple]

Well said

[tender horizon]

We need Brycen expansion to hv pierci g blows

[lost juniper]

Neo Champion Nate not having Piercing Blows is a shame

Especially since Haxorus canonically has Mold Breaker in the main games

[bright brook]

Real men use rivalry haxorus

[tender horizon]

Ye that wouldve sealed the deal actually

[lost juniper]

Rivalry

[lost juniper]

Hopium for 5/5 expansion

[sturdy steeple]

Literally one of the few mons where it actually makes sense and he didn't get it

[chrome halo]

Watch him getting Unhindered in his expansion

[strong sand]

I guess you could say it

breaks the mold

[raven crane]

Piercing Blows on Strike Gyarados time.

[bright brook]

If only

2 haxorus and none got piercing blows

Meanwhile a random snake

[lost juniper]

What snake?

[inner turret]

https://youtu.be/jX-7Z5UmWrs

[chrome halo]

Perfect timing

[inner turret]

You're joking but it was used in Gen 5 VGC because of the prevalence of the genies

[inner turret]

Also Dudunsparce isn't a snake but a tsushinoko and he gets piercing blows because it shouldn't been Hyper Drill's effect to begin with but they decided to not so the sync can also pierce

[lost juniper]

Oh that one. I never thought it as a snake

[raven crane]

Casual whale being toopid.

[inner turret]

?

[raven crane]

Oh wait that’s Akr0, my fault.

Lol.

[bright brook]

Huh i thought hyper drills bypass protect not abilities

[inner turret]

I mean yes, but bypassing damage guard is useless in masters

so that's the next closest thing

[bright brook]

Ig that's one way to understand why they did that

[inner turret]

imo it makes more sense than virizion and toxtricity getting it

[bright brook]

Yea

But rillaboom is still the dumbest

Like i get it the max move

[inner turret]

rillaboom has the max move, it "makes sense"

[chrome halo]

Inteleon crying

[hallow gull]

Rillaboom without Grassy Slide just weird to me

[bright brook]

But giving it piercing blows also renders the effect of his max move useless

[hallow gull]

~~she’ll get upgraded soon just believe ~~

[chrome halo]

Is 2028 really soon

Grimmsnarl also demands GMax

[bright brook]

Gmax snooze best sleepchain unit...

Up there with sm lyra's clock out

[chrome halo]

[lost juniper]

Raihan really wants max move

Even 1/5 would be nice if he got G-max

[raven crane]

I’m glad they don’t restrict Piercing Blows just to units that “make sense.”

Would suck to only have like a dozen Pokémon eligible for the passive.

[inner turret]

if we include infiltrator, since dragapult got it

[bright brook]

Smogogo

[raven crane]

Forgelina is a wicked name.

[rocky oasis]

you joke but some dude got top cut at vgc worlds during the BW era using a rivalry haxorus to counter the damn genies

[gleaming cypress]

technically the mons in this game have genders too

theres just no gender-affected abilities like rivalry or moves like attract

it would be really funny if they added those tho

[bright brook]

That wasn't some dude that was the 3 time world champ ray rizzo who popularized rivalry haxorus

[rocky oasis]

not ray rizzo
