Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)

[pearl beacon]

But guess it's fine for free units

[sturdy steeple]

He looks very boring to me ngl lol

[river cliff]

Getting all these guys to 3/5 is going to take ages

At least if they end up being monthly additions

[karmic willow]

yup

[sturdy steeple]

We will catch up eventually

[karmic willow]

probably gonna invest in like

2 or so

to just finish off bulu

nemona is expensive af

to solo bulu

but hugh and gladion are surprisingly good at it

[river cliff]

Debuffs good

[rocky oasis]

was hoping wed get more hugh solos tbh

in theory you could evasion cheese your way through a lot

in practice... idk

[dawn plume]

just realized we can probably predict the future dc units cuz every dc pair is fought in the damage challenge

that includes blue, next rotation is his alakazam

[karmic willow]

blue

silver

are missing

at some points

penny arven tierno

bede

hop

[quaint tartan]

Which dc units do you think are more valuable to invest for this lg rotation? With invest I mean get to 2/5 or 3/5

[raven crane]

Bianca and Mienshao just makes me sad.

[dawn plume]

Silver: Gengar or Crobat (4th of either one LMAO)
Barry: either Staraptor or Floatzel (probably Staraptor, 2 f2p water barrys is weird)
Bianca: either Chandelure or Mienshao (leaning Mienshao)
Cheren: Gigalith
N: Archeops
Shauna: either Sylveon or Goodra
Tierno: Talonflame
Hau: Crabominable LOL
Hop: Dubwool, Corviknight, or Pincurchin
Bede: either Mawile or Galarian Rapidash (leaning Rapidash for obvious reasons)

yea its probably

those

i thought n having an archeops was kinda random to choose for the water weak challenge cuz i imagine there were several other options but it makes sense if they're planning on releasing it as a pair

[karmic willow]

if you just want to get it over with

Hugh 2/5

and Silver. He can solo Bulu at low move level

Silver does a LOT at 5/5 +10E

[rocky oasis]

i mean that archeops can be deadly in a nuzlocke

[pearl beacon]

Para, decent multupliers, spatk spdef debuffs, sustain and 480 spatk
I mean, he's quote something

[rocky oasis]

like it aint as memorable as the dragons / zoroark but i still remember it murdering my zebstrika w/ crit stone edge

[sturdy steeple]

The healing and the mpr for it are literally on opposite sides of the grid it's kinda cringe

[pearl beacon]

Yeah

[pearl beacon]

Damn, hop corviknight sound cool
Steel zone plz

[river cliff]

I'm betting on Dubwool since they probably want to save Corviknight for a gmax pair

[pearl beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/simpsons-mareep-wooloo-out-of-the-way-you-gif-27287133

[quaint tartan]

Silver?

You mean gladion with weavile

[karmic willow]

i meant gladion ye

[quaint tartan]

Ok thx

[pearl beacon]

Gladion is a safe bet
Other are ok
Keeping Marnie and Nemona as last just one copy

[stone valley]

https://youtu.be/K-rGjbBlhXQ?si=FwzzaFyDn37vGl2G just dropping this

[dawn plume]

HUH

[sturdy steeple]

klara 10 yayy nice work skinny

[true tartan]

Avery still at 9...

rip him...

[dawn plume]

oh yeah mixed physical and special damage and a max move

that'll do it huh

[true tartan]

but very good run, fun to watch how she defeated

[lost juniper]

That's insane

[dawn plume]

the max move didnt even do that much nvm

bruteforce bar 3 is wild

[lost juniper]

Her healing is so good

[sturdy steeple]

offensive debuffs my beloved

[pearl beacon]

Love her tm hehe

[dawn plume]

clearheaded on grid my beloved

that skill gear wow

[heavy sinew]

WHAT

Time to 3/5 her

Toxic queen my beloved

[quaint tartan]

Was supp rhyhorn the one to keep, right?

[dawn plume]

yeah

crit buffs

[river cliff]

Speed debuffs could come in handy for Latias as well

[worthy horizon]

yea tech does nothing iirc

just worse support

[karmic willow]

Cheapest partner for ss leon?

Vs latias

I saw marlon

But marlon anni N got that theme skill bonus

[lost juniper]

Anni N also would appreciate the sp. defense buffs as Latias has a dragon type sync

And he's Dragon weak

[river cliff]

Maybe egg starmie?

[worthy horizon]

status spamming moltres is not a thing even if it's sleep under electric terrain

large passive delay

[karmic willow]

man

i wanna do

old teams of 3 so bad

because for me overkilling moltress is justified

so like

volkner hau and falkner

the good ol' days

[worthy horizon]

trios will help vs moltres a whole lot if you don't wanna restrict yourself

i would like to hit 100 without trios again but if i do make it that far i'll do trios

[karmic willow]

aight so

what teams do we use for Ash this time

because at this rate

he's looking like a REAAAAAL good Bulu solo

[lost juniper]

Last time I did Ash + Molayne duo on Moltres

Last time Moltres was around I meant

[river cliff]

Ash + flincher on Moltres seems pretty standard. Sophocles and Volkner were the main two I've seen

[sharp lichen]

ash on bulu feels wasted

[river cliff]

Can tl Adaman + Archie handle Moltres?

[vital ibex]

doubt it

you only got 2 uses of rain and a nonexistant archie nuke

[river cliff]

Seun origin pulse probably does quite a bit to bar 2

You'd definitely have to save the second rain for bar 3

[vital ibex]

i mean, it's always worth trying beforehand to see if its possible

we have moltres in LA, give it a shot

[heavy sinew]

I think that can one shot

[worthy horizon]

bar 3 is a pain for archie

but you can get through bar 2 without rain bc water weak, only takes like 3 origin pulses

save shower sync for bar 3 start

[karmic willow]

unfortunately

you can't

[lost juniper]

Yes

[karmic willow]

i tried it

like

[lost juniper]

I'm pretty sure they can duo

[karmic willow]

I REALLY did

[lost juniper]

With Adaman EX

[karmic willow]

you cannot kill it fast enough

this is with adaman ex

you cannot 2 tap it

then again

[lost juniper]

Then stall with Adaman

[karmic willow]

this is without WW3

[lost juniper]

Use Thunder on Bar 1

[river cliff]

That would make a big difference

[lost juniper]

Enough that Origin Pulse can two shot

[karmic willow]

i will try it again once i get god gear

[river cliff]

Not sure if the extra stats from exr make much of a difference

[karmic willow]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/19300/38200?s=3&l=150&r=6&p=0&a=13016303&g=AAECAwQFDA0REhMWGRsoKy0u

This SHOULD be

[river cliff]

Not that I have any plans to do so

[errant plume]

Since it's from LG10, it's before EX Role & extra energy

[vital ibex]

o damn

i stand corrected

[karmic willow]

Oh wow

I got owned

[thick dawn]

should add LG10 was also before skill gear

[errant plume]

Also yes

[thick dawn]

LG10 is the last LG before skill gear so older insane clears are gonna stop being carried by skill gears soon

sadge

[errant plume]

Before anyone ask, no I don't have footage of the clear

[karmic willow]

@sturdy steeple is lodge raihan and gordie still a thing on moltress?

[lost juniper]

I can try to redo it

What ls you used?

[karmic willow]

I feel like nukers who can one shot are much, much better at handling the dreaded bulu

[sturdy steeple]

yes

[karmic willow]

You still using that comp?

[sturdy steeple]

yes

[karmic willow]

Mmmmm

I mean it is tempting

[lost juniper]

Oh I remember it being super funny

[karmic willow]

Because i remember you killinng bulu with gordie something

[errant plume]

Not from me, it's from puyoteto but I assume Flameproof

[lost juniper]

Stall Bar 1, Bar 2 sync, bar 3 max move

[karmic willow]

Sync move you mean

Because archie got no max move lmfao

[lost juniper]

I meant the gordie one

I don't think it was that hard either

They have good synergy

[worthy horizon]

exr archie with seun takes out 80% of moltres bar 2 lol

i upgraded archie while trying to improve the consistency of my rain auto team but still nothing comes close to being consistent bc of how unreliable everything is at second half bar 3

[karmic willow]

Oh nice

[worthy horizon]

wastes shower sync tho so impractical

[lost juniper]

Origin Pulse alone is super strong

On Moltres boosted by seun

[worthy horizon]

yep

yeah you can definitely double instaqueue to clear bar 2 without taking a hit

make ww3 work

[lost juniper]

Exactly

Then you clear Bar 3 with rain

You can give Adaman mind games to make it even easier

[worthy horizon]

i actually already have mg2 on adaman

[lost juniper]

Yeah with mind games 2 you can guarantee a two shot with 4 buffs and WW3

[worthy horizon]

the double instaqueue is really rough to get though and clearly not required so i'll prob run flameproof

it is wild how much trouble that one instaqueue at the halfway mark has given me than any other

[lost juniper]

Moltres is always so weird with insta-queues

[river cliff]

Hmm finding a teammate for Paulo is going to be tricky

I guess an egg flincher is probably best

[heavy sinew]

Dena won't rerun Adaman so I can get his lodge

Why Dena

[dawn plume]

dena wont rerun IONO so i can get her lodge

[heavy sinew]

Yea wtf is up with that too

They Put a disclaimer for us to suffer

[raven crane]

Fucking. Truth.

[river cliff]

My be to prep for stacking a bunch of banners next month

Drop lodge Arven or someone next month while they're at it

[heavy sinew]

Super Exciting! Sandwiches

[heavy sinew]

Dumb game keeps crashing every time

Hoping it doesn't happen in gauntlet

(it will)

[dawn plume]

put arven in the lodge and ask about Family

[heavy sinew]

"definitely a topic"

[shy sinew]

oh no...

bud had it hard enough already back on Paldea

[chrome halo]

Put Turo and Sada in Friends topic

[pearl beacon]

Wonder what "Others" will be

~~ trauma ~~

[raven crane]

"Time Machines."

Twitter · Jul 30, 2024, 11:33 AM

oh its real

[raven crane]

[chrome halo]

biggest bait ever

[pearl beacon]

[shy sinew]

Dena knew they could take 3 pities from me right before anni and I knew that’s what they were doing too

[pearl beacon]

Check what day it is

Wednesday, you got 1h before datamine

[dawn plume]

the datamine will still be before anni we should have 1-2 days to know

they gotta do those gem counts fast though...

[shy sinew]

I was planning on getting all of them to 3/5 quite unfortunately for my wallet, but I’ll be looking at datamine anyways to see if there’s a banner extension for them

[pearl beacon]

I just hope Nemona is one of the 3 anni units

Like what they did w NcRosa NcNate

[shy sinew]

as nice as that would be, having potentially seven active MF banners would be really funny

assuming Galar banner extension ofc

[dawn plume]

there's only ever been one instance of extending a banner after starting it

and the banners ending right at anni seems pretty intentional

i wouldn't assume that at all

[raven crane]

They got a little tipsy and hit 8 instead of 9.

[dawn plume]

last 25 hours before rally shop resets i need to spend orbs so i don't cap

who wants overcap for this gauntlet

i've done a few already like sycamore, ss kris

will probably do jasmine

[river cliff]

can't go wrong with whitney or surge

[robust nymph]

should nc blue just go to latias solo or am i better off adding a damage dealer and bruteforce moltres

[heavy sinew]

Overcap on syca is new to me

What can he get from +10

[worthy horizon]

that's the big question isn't it

[heavy sinew]

Doesn't the solo require good fire reduction skill gears?

[worthy horizon]

you can technically just flinch more

but practically yea

that run still got super good flinches on bar 3 which prevented taking spa debuffs

only went down to +4

[robust nymph]

also another question, where does flower duo go

latias i assume

[worthy horizon]

erika lyra..?

i'm saving them for bulu solos

[dawn plume]

more master healer

[worthy horizon]

i'm prob putting nc blue to moltres but idk what makes him work

[dawn plume]

in case you didnt heal enough the first time

[worthy horizon]

without absurd rng or gear

[dawn plume]

a second weaker flincher

[worthy horizon]

ok yea i can roll with tech seaking

[river cliff]

Ss acerola isn't getting much better than a bulu solo is she?

[worthy horizon]

naomi duoed ss acerola with steven for moltres in lg10

[river cliff]

Interesting

[pliant glen]

@thick dawn You get the Day 1 Elio solos it seems.

[worthy horizon]

she's actually available btw

[bitter gate]

6 dead multis on Elio, that's a yikers

[thick dawn]

i am so sorry brother

[quaint tartan]

Here I am too, same number same result 😂

[bitter gate]

I forget Quaggles is a Elio Simp

[quaint tartan]

Alola boi*

[bitter gate]

I might just hard commit for Elio since I'm already so deep in, lol

unless my next multi gets him fsr

lol nvm

I got him

[quaint tartan]

It’s just me and flare in the shaft area 🥲

[bitter gate]

took me 10 multis and now i'm out of juice

but at least I keep my all pokefair support dream alive

ish

[true tartan]

"Elio simp"

Alola you mean

but mostly the MCs I think?

[bitter gate]

i just remember his YT saying he was the world's best elio user

lol

[true tartan]

considering how he made most, if not all, of the Elio solos haha

until milimetre appeared and did Terrakion lol

bro

[karmic willow]

Should i keep rolling?

[true tartan]

you know this is not the channel for that

[karmic willow]

Oof mb

[true tartan]

but most of his stuff is at 3/5 onwards

[bright brook]

I'd stop if i had a whopping amount of candy

[bitter gate]

Can Elio even do stuff at 1/5 I wonder

[true tartan]

Latios, likely lol

[bitter gate]

The main problem become you're stuck at +4 attack after exhausting everything but

he needs more investment for the rest

[inner turret]

No crit sucks, but he has healing everywhere

[bitter gate]

I wouldn't say he has healing everywhere

he just has one very good healing move

it's essentially nerfed Blue B Move but with MPR

The nice thing is he's not that reliant on dupes overall, but for LG he wants 3/5 for MPR fishing

[inner turret]

He's got lithic healing too

Only 2 times but still

[bitter gate]

it's there but it's not as important

Literally for LG all he wants is the MPR

and Sharp Entry 1 for stuff like Regirock

I'm gonna say he'll do like 7-9 solos

but amongst the middle-weaker supports unlike the 11-13 batch

[true tartan]

just say which ones instead of guessing a number lol

it is not hard to see which ones he'll get haha

even more if you account full invests

discard which ones he won't do

[bitter gate]

Latios/Bulu/Raikou/Regirock/Registeel/Azelf/uxie

Cobalion is a question mark

but imo not impossible

[true tartan]

put Entei there

that one should pretty free

if max invest lol

[bitter gate]

yeah Entei needs max investment but if you get max investment + flameproof its free

[true tartan]

no need for flameproof

[bitter gate]

I don't see him doing anything else

[true tartan]

he has nat cure, so escape artist

[bitter gate]

Entie has more burns than trap

just get quick cure

it's better

[true tartan]

looks at the support solos

[bitter gate]

between heat wave, sacred fire and the natural 10%s versus fire spin

but yeah, idt he cares too much about either

[true tartan]

Heat Wave is ensured

so is Sacred Fire lol

[bitter gate]

yeah, that's why flameproof no

[true tartan]

but at that time, you are doing decent damage

so no need for much of it

[bitter gate]

since fire spin is not as common

[true tartan]

Fire spin is somewhat spammed

even more when he as no crit

or well, 50% that sometimes feel like never

[bitter gate]

perhaps

but yeah

we'll see

so that's 8

Idt he can do Latias

[true tartan]

lol

strong words

VERY strong words

[bitter gate]

Latias*

typo

[true tartan]

too late

[bitter gate]

damn

sadge

[true tartan]

credibility thrown out of the window

[bitter gate]

shame

shame on me

[true tartan]

but yeah...

Latias is very hard

doable? hmmmmm....

[bitter gate]

srsly tho I'd be very surprised if he pulls off Latias

then again Sycamore did it

so anything could happen

[true tartan]

you only need DC2...

[bitter gate]

well, Sycamore also has his spa drops which while more RNG

are not capped

• it's super effective

[true tartan]

and as I've shown before

Bellelba has reached bar 3

only with DC2...

so yeah, it is doable

very hard?

lots of MPRs?

but doable lol

[bitter gate]

yeah lots of MPR required

[true tartan]

like

look at this guy

[bitter gate]

also Lenora did it, but lenora I guess has

more RNG

Oh right

Rednhoho

[true tartan]

Lenora did it?

[bitter gate]

somewhat managed to do that

[true tartan]

more like REGIROCK did it

he has speed drops tho

[bitter gate]

well he has infinite drops also

so that helps

• Synchro Healing

[true tartan]

you mean

Sync Team HP Recovery (M)

[bitter gate]

i refuse to use that name

at best I'll call it STH

[true tartan]

really dena, why...

[bitter gate]

ask the JP faction

JP faction and most of the other factions use these kinds of names

outside of signature passives

which well, they could do that but no

they decided these wacky name passives were "easier to undertsand"

I guess

But yeah, I'd say 7-8 for Elio

Arven is the one who can get the fated 13

or 14, if fsr he can outgrind torn

btw what's the cookie for this LG again?

i couldn't find it

[true tartan]

CS

lol

[bitter gate]

kek

useless

[karmic willow]

LMFAOOOOOO

man

new elio seems boring

what does he have like

in terms of healing

aside from lithic healing

[karmic willow]

wow that's so useless

should have been sp3

[bitter gate]

Elio is not an LG-orientated support after all

They made Arven an LG only and Elio kind of a rock-team only

sort of thing

[karmic willow]

he's a buff support alright

[true tartan]

they should've removed all the regular skills...

[karmic willow]

SE1

is still around

[stuck mantle]

So wat solo elio got?

[kind imp]

That was in last LG iirc

[stuck mantle]

Where is his number 1 fun Quaggles?

[true tartan]

his solo playstyle reminds me of Acerola

so... it'll take a while lol

[stuck mantle]

Acerola have way more option off heal

No need relly on mprs plus flinch

[true tartan]

yeah, but is "slow hitting"

[bitter gate]

yeah, except Acerola has way more margin for error

but yeah, it takes a while

like Rika

[true tartan]

I meant towards the time on getting it done

[bitter gate]

well, thankfully he's less expensive than Rika

but won't do as much

[true tartan]

not on how effective they are

[stuck mantle]

Rika have heal on sync wat is good

He dont have it

So fish for tmpr is realy hard

[bitter gate]

yeah, on 5/5

idt Elio will need 5/5 for anything

[true tartan]

haha...

[bitter gate]

it helps because of vigilance

but he doesn't need it as much as the others

[true tartan]

he'll do for Entei lol

[bitter gate]

for entei yes, idt he wants it for anything else

maybe Latias?

[true tartan]

maybe Registeel?

[bitter gate]

if he somehow manages to do that?

[true tartan]

sure crits EQ

[bitter gate]

oh yeah

that's kinda yikes too

mfw vigilance is such a good passive they cap it on 5/5 now lol

[true tartan]

they make it differently from unit to unit

Ready for Anything is a 5/5 skill on SS N

while is a 3/5 on Alt Selene

[bitter gate]

yeah but that's because she won't use it 90% of time anyway

lol

[true tartan]

still, something that is locked for others at 3/5... is not for others

looks at Anabel

[bitter gate]

Which is?

STHR?

[inner turret]

Yes

[thick dawn]

gonna be a while

have only done 4

[stuck mantle]

Not bad not bad gogo number 1 fun😘

[bitter gate]

how many do you expect will come out

and how hard have you hammed resources into him

[thick dawn]

at the very least 6

key word least

and as much as you think i have to the second question

[bitter gate]

5/5 EXR

[karmic willow]

Nah

5/5 EXR +10E

Latios solo easy with cs2 because innate vigilance

[worthy horizon]

confirmed that this works

[bitter gate]

is that 1/5 or

[worthy horizon]

naw

3/5 exr

even threw 20k orbs on blaine lol

[karmic willow]

Gimme grids

[worthy horizon]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=025200085100&s0=3&l0=150&r0=6&p0=0&a0=24011001&t0=44444&x0=true&g0=AAECAwQFDA0ODxEUFxgbICstMDM&v1=005900007800&s1=5&l1=140&r1=5&p1=5&a1=21010101&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFBgcICREVGB0fIiksLg&v2=0

[worthy horizon]

completely forgot until now but i remember managing roark with ss morty

so i'll probably run that

[lost juniper]

SS Red could probably duo Bulu with Evelyn

[worthy horizon]

ye they manage that at 1/5s though

[chrome halo]

I assume that requires 3+/5 Morty?

[lost juniper]

For Roark I guess yeah, but I'm pretty sure no for Red

[worthy horizon]

3/5 exr ss morty yes

could do without role too

[karmic willow]

Exr red one taps bar 3 with Sync. make do with that how you wish

With sync

I am a biiiit

Hesitant on roark cuz

He would make a GREAT sleep fodder

[worthy horizon]

for what tho

[rocky oasis]

possible w/ 1/5 ex sc jasmine

i just cant be assed to reset more

[karmic willow]

anyways, can you send me roark grid?

[worthy horizon]

i think it was this one but i'm retesting it to make sure

flameproof, 5* 0/20

[bitter gate]

yeah his job is just to blow stuff up

[rocky oasis]

ss grims solo or moltres nuke?

[lost juniper]

The solo sucks so Moltres nuke

[tender horizon]

Wow

[heavy sinew]

That CS banner doesn't look right to me

Something's off about it

Idk what

[worthy horizon]

it's unusual in multiple ways

[chrome halo]

The banner image contains too many characters!

[quaint tartan]

That banner is useful for new players

[karmic willow]

alright guys

aside from Nate 14% damage increase vs Terrakion

[quaint tartan]

With the addition of the gems from the story is basically a pity on a overall banner for a new player after completing cs

[karmic willow]

what types need damage increase from gears?

because most of the time i see it's DR

managing all of this is gonna be a pain

i can feel things like

Water definitely

because 2 tapping is niceee

[upper lance]

Do you think Wallace will be able to solo Either Latios or Entei ?

[worthy horizon]

wallace already got latios pre-expansion but +10e

not enough stuff for entei though, gets debuffed and dies

https://youtu.be/He_bIX22Yms?si=az3vbfo4gqUCgk7w

confirming that the roark grid i posted earlier works

lotta starting mprs but only used one potion

also pretty specialized morty grid to account for not needing potion mprs

[karmic willow]

but still

when does offensive stat matter?

in terms of gear because

i have only seen like, ONE example being NC nate

okay real talks

would you get

a gear that has these 3

Special Damage DR 4%
Attack Move DR 3%
Attack Move DR 2%

But stat's are 20-45-10

or

30-70-30

But no good passives

[river cliff]

The latter

[karmic willow]

why?

defensively speaking

because offensively no way am I stuck with that statline lmfao

[quaint tartan]

Bc the passives apply only special dmg or attacks, so no physical damage or sync moves

Overall in this case stats are better imo bc they apply to everything

[karmic willow]

hmmm

so

how would you guys suggest rolling defensive gear?

like one good passive and good statline?

[tender horizon]

Where the stakatakalakafaka solos

[karmic willow]

i mean if i do have infinite feathers then

both statline and passives will be applied

[quaint tartan]

I’d honestly would not roll defensive gears for lg specifically bc there’s too many that should be rolled to be good

When it comes to lg I’d stick with the best stat boost I can get and call it a day without considering passives

[tender horizon]

Good luck to everyonr who has to do 60 Moltres clears

[karmic willow]

same

[tender horizon]

Flashbacks a year ago

[karmic willow]

@worthy horizon

do you still remember what kind of gear you used for the Lysandre solo on Moltress?

i'm guesing pretty JACKED

[inner turret]

Probably in the video

[karmic willow]

he linked it in the comments

[heavy sinew]

Yeah where are they?

I thought Quaggles would get some of them but I guess not

Or maybe he hasn't had time to do them

[chrome halo]

Quaggles already posted his video

[heavy sinew]

Ah I didn't see

I retract my previous statement

[chrome halo]

Support not getting 240+ BP attacking moves means they are automatically shit for solos /s

[dawn plume]

stakatakatakataka no crit

fighting something like bulu once it ups its def its cooked

[chrome halo]

Tfw TSE 1

[bright brook]

Imagine making a limited unit that doesn't buff crit in 2024

[quaint tartan]

Hi I’m summer acerola nice to meet ya

[bright brook]

She does at 3/5

[chrome halo]

Hello acerola

[quaint tartan]

I forgot about her grid nvm

[dawn plume]

c bianca moltres solo kinda sucks a lot wow

[lost juniper]

Yeah it does

[dawn plume]

i think i will just use her on latias

[lost juniper]

I tried it to make a video run in english

You absolutely require +6e

[dawn plume]

i did just overcap her cuz i needed to burn orbs and it still sucks

[lost juniper]

I think I'd still use her on Moltres

Even if not solo her duos can be super cheap

[dawn plume]

hmm that might be the play actually her latias solo was a little too easy

[river cliff]

Could do something like striker Golem

[lost juniper]

Flinch overlap though

[river cliff]

30%

And you kind of appreciate that to make it suck less

[lost juniper]

I'd rather use it for SC Zinnia's solo instead

She absolutely cannot let Moltres get a single move

[river cliff]

That's fair

[bitter gate]

So what happened

To elio

No solos yet?

[lost juniper]

He has 4

Quaggles posted them

https://youtu.be/GvWixEgAeqI?si=jCsx8kQk7xmiG1g7

[dawn plume]

he said raikou alone took 3 hours... not promising

[stuck mantle]

Since no heal no damage

Need alot mprs

And no crit

[dawn plume]

lodge iono will have more solos

and her meme tm name

this tile is OP

• team sync regen

[sharp lichen]

hopefully iono reruns with a select banner for anni because TL iono is pretty insane for a TL support

[quaint tartan]

Lodge iono is really good

One of the best lodge supp

[sharp lichen]

my only complaint about lodge iono is that a lot of her tiles are spread out

[sharp lichen]

first aid 4 too

[dawn plume]

i was thinking about getting chase from selects at anni (assume its all poke fairs again) but with this lodge pair i kinda want iono now...

though if its region split again i can get both

actually just electricmaxxing

[stuck mantle]

They sure give pokefairs select

Or all select type banner just roll choise

[chrome halo]

Glad i yolo'ed her back then

i should have yolo'ed Kabu too

[karmic willow]

Belleba

i know she does later on

but

they exist ig

[karmic willow]

watch as they will change it

eventually

like

Hit Status : HP Recovery All

[dawn plume]

add an (S) in there

[lost juniper]

Same

Lodge Iono probably solos Tornadus

Iono probably goes to Latias

[chrome halo]

Liono might be able to solo Bulu?

I doubt she can solo Latias despite having debuffs

[lost juniper]

Yeah, but she'll probably go there regardless

[sharp lichen]

bulu seems probable since she can protect wood hammer

[lost juniper]

Well for Latias she can protect Bar 3 EQ

[sharp lichen]

this might be what a lot of people run. kinda expensive though

you could skip lithe

[chrome halo]

If only she could comfortably reach Fast Track

[karmic willow]

debuffing sp.atk

is not gonna do

sadly

[sharp lichen]

fast track might not be necessary

since all she has is thunder shock for dmg

[karmic willow]

i mean bar 3 how can you outheal the dang thing

[lost juniper]

Idk if mgr is necessary

It's not charging infliction

[sharp lichen]

you have to grab it for team sync regen

[lost juniper]

Just grab fast track

[sharp lichen]

-11 😭

[sharp lichen]

doesnt seem possible

[lost juniper]

Yes it is

[lost juniper]

If you grab two blues

[sharp lichen]

ohhh

big brain

[chrome halo]

Ayo

[sturdy steeple]

lol

[lost juniper]

I think Stoic 2 can counter Bulu

[sturdy steeple]

the good thing about that passive in the top left is that it works with any status condition

[chrome halo]

[lost juniper]

Gonna be useful for Cobalion and Uxie

She probably doesn't solo Uxie but idk

[sharp lichen]

bar 2 seems tough

[river cliff]

Hostile environment is also technically optional

[errant plume]

I'll unlock her Saturday to do her solos so if you have some ideas of solo, feel free to ping me

[chrome halo]

But dealing with 10% is

[sharp lichen]

tornadus is obviously possible

use protect on fly

[lost juniper]

She paralyses

No flys

[sharp lichen]

oh right

[chrome halo]

Tornadus is a guaranteed solo

[lost juniper]

Cobalion works too

Uxie might be doable with stoic since I'm only really worried about facade

[karmic willow]

hell yea

wait holdup

what can we select this month?

@chrome halo

[chrome halo]

Up to 3 seasonals if you have like 9k paids

[karmic willow]

just that

3 seasonals?

i mean ny clair is

definitely in my sights

dragon hse and whatever follows

[bitter gate]

if you're not gonna invest in her don't bother

She has a lot of issues

[karmic willow]

alright bet

3/5

from now til dragon hse

i got time

(i suppose)

alright anything else?

just 3 seasonals right?

no fairs like before?

[bitter gate]

i mean, it's hard to tell

since we don't know what you have or don't

[chrome halo]

Idk why and how did she get such a disappointed kit

[bitter gate]

but fairs only emerge during anni

I mean, she's just vanilla except the whole "I ignore WTZ" thing

[chrome halo]

Fairs are available during anni

[karmic willow]

right

[bitter gate]

she's not necessarily "bad", just uninspiring

[karmic willow]

3 seasonals

[bitter gate]

much like Arven

[karmic willow]

hmmmm

her

and then

sc and what?

[chrome halo]

SC selects are a myth

[karmic willow]

it did happen last year didn't it?

[chrome halo]

We might get a variety select

[bitter gate]

they've happened before

just

not yet

they might come back again

[karmic willow]

later down the year yeah

[chrome halo]

We had some during 2022 iirc? Not 2023

[karmic willow]

nah

[chrome halo]

#1142434215208702073

[karmic willow]

pretty sure somewhere down the line 2023

because i disctintly remember

getting it during a party after work

work started in summer 2023

[chrome halo]

Yeah there were 2 SC selecta during 4th anni

I keep forgetting about them sigh

[karmic willow]

so uhhh

sc

ny

and

summer?

fall happens later so no

or palentines?

someone check the datamine for me i can't find it:(

oh wait nvm found it on reddit

[sharp lichen]

can u send the post here? kinda curious

[bitter gate]

im pretty sure they'll just include everything like last time

including halloween

[karmic willow]

yeah

[bitter gate]

as you can see Roxanne is there

lol

[karmic willow]

from the looks of things

[sharp lichen]

oh

[karmic willow]

i will add clair walllace and something to my roster

i mean Tate is a sound idea but

he's not up my alley per se

[sharp lichen]

ngl i might get the champion bundle

[karmic willow]

you can and should

also

when does gauntlet end?

[sharp lichen]

get one of the selects here and then the other 3 for anni

i think august 28th

[karmic willow]

good

enough time to get 1/5s

and power them up properly

[dawn plume]

wallace might not be there lol

it looks to be divided by roles again

[bitter gate]

they might just slot those in somewhere else

it's not unlikely

but we'll see

they usually mix the remaining roles

in another banner

[dawn plume]

no they dont what

[sharp lichen]

they might just put in the remaining roles on whichever banner has the smallest amount

[bitter gate]

afaik there was one precedent

in March

but yes

[dawn plume]

back in the pokefairs they just werent available

[bitter gate]

whatever swift said

[dawn plume]

there was not a precedent

[bitter gate]

they were divided by region instead

[dawn plume]

yes

and lear and paulo were unavailable

when they divided by roles nemona, rei, akari, and paulo were unavailable, when they divided by region lear and paulo were unavailable

summary: they hate paulo

i think if wallace and viola were going to be available they woulda been on the banner images

all the banners go back older than them

i think thats just rip

[sharp lichen]

which seems to be the best seasonal to grab?

[karmic willow]

ah yes H sycamore

[sharp lichen]

for LG purposes

[karmic willow]

wait

where's wallace

[dawn plume]

haha

[sharp lichen]

wallace is field

[dawn plume]

thats the funny part

[sharp lichen]

so we dont know

[karmic willow]

if he appears

in the same one as candice

you know what imma get

[dawn plume]

i think wallace got paulo'd

[sharp lichen]

i mean

[dawn plume]

i wanted to get viola so i am annoyed too

[sharp lichen]

the seasonal banners last a whole month

dont forget about the anni select banners too

[karmic willow]

oh yeah

they got

VIOLA

FINALLY

I WILL GET VIOLA

[dawn plume]

haha about that

[karmic willow]

?

[sharp lichen]

ngl ingo < viola for bug zone

[karmic willow]

isn't she like a tech first?

[bitter gate]

viola is a field so she might not be in there but

...no

wut

[sharp lichen]

field

[karmic willow]

damn

i got it all mixed up

[bitter gate]

wut

[dawn plume]

viola is field/tech

[karmic willow]

DAMMIT

[bitter gate]

that's outlandish tbh

[sharp lichen]

oh wait

[bitter gate]

Viola is just that much better at it

[sharp lichen]

used the wrong symbol lmao

[bitter gate]

Ingo is really bad as a setter lol

[sharp lichen]

yeah

[dawn plume]

man thats annoying

i wouldve gotten viola if she was available

i'm fairly certain she got paulo'd

dena why

[sharp lichen]

ig we will see

reminds me of anni skyla too

when anni may and raihan reran but not her

[karmic willow]

[sharp lichen]

sucks how viola is the best pair to pull for LG purposes too

[heavy sinew]

She's very silly I can tell you that much

[sharp lichen]

oh wait is palentines rerunning?

oh yeah with victor

[chrome halo]

All seasonals aside from fields and 2024 summer pairs are included it seems

Victor goated

[karmic willow]

for HSE so i have to 😦

but hey, waifu > stuff

[tender horizon]

I wanna buy Summer Gardenia

[karmic willow]

not that she's my waifu though, but eye candy is eye candy

[heavy sinew]

I want gardenia for the outfit

[chrome halo]

Too bad

[heavy sinew]

She didn't come through

[bitter gate]

glad I got her early, kek

[heavy sinew]

Real

Also a reason

[karmic willow]

HUH?

REAL?

damnG

[heavy sinew]

I hope so

[karmic willow]

Goated gardenia

[bitter gate]

yeah the only contenders are like what

Melony? Candice?

[heavy sinew]

Karen ?

Idk

[karmic willow]

who knows she'd be packing

under that og outfit

[bitter gate]

also am I gonna get warned for this

yabe

[karmic willow]

How is Candice in this list lmfao

[gleaming cypress]

🤨

[dawn plume]

it takes alt elio 5 minutes to get through bulu bar 1 lmao???

[gleaming cypress]

newly acquired 1/5 ss mina, probably getting sent to moltres

[sharp lichen]

Doesn’t it take like 30 minutes for raikou?

[heavy sinew]

||omw 🫡||

[gleaming cypress]

literally 198-

198 lg clears

[heavy sinew]

Shield difference baby

[dawn plume]

nah raikou is like 9 min

so is bulu tbf

but 5 of those are bar 1 LOL

[heavy sinew]

Latios took a while

[sturdy steeple]

bulu bar 1 for supports that dont do much damage is hell

[heavy sinew]

but not as much as the others

[dawn plume]

especially physical ones with only +1 crit

[karmic willow]

damn bro got deleted

\

[dawn plume]

[karmic willow]

he was a brave one i'd tell you that

[heavy sinew]

Was kinda funny seeing smack down do 1k with like 9+ buffs under rock zone

[dawn plume]

when was the last time they released two units that are so blatantly meant to be used together

like elio and selene are

i guess like the greninjas

[heavy sinew]

Serena and Calem?

Yea thought so too

But like, they can do good on their own

i wonder if I should do the calem solo on moltres

[sharp lichen]

Holiday Nessa and Leon too

[dawn plume]

oh thats a good one

i forgot those existed

[heavy sinew]

that's so 2020

[karmic willow]

i will do that duo on molress

wish me luck

like

holy hell the GAUGE you need

[sharp lichen]

fr

[inner turret]

Geeta

[sharp lichen]

NC Cheren

[dawn plume]

[sharp lichen]

a support in 2024 that doesnt buff crit is more outrageous

[gleaming cypress]

who, elio?

oh yeah right

well ig he comes with rock zone to make up for that

[dawn plume]

i do wonder if extra energy makes c calem moltres solo easier

cuz it was done before that

you can grab guaranteed triple with extra energy

[bitter gate]

nah, not every unit needs to do that at this point

it's annoying ofc but

no longer a strict gatekeep measure

look at Bellelba for instance

or something like Mina

still pretty dumb despite no crit

bellelba gives +1 I guess

[sharp lichen]

its not necessary on a teamwide basis but its very helpful regarding solos

[bitter gate]

definitely, but there are many iterations that only need +1

[sharp lichen]

yeah

[bitter gate]

my Phoebe solo against entei for instance

I thought she needed +2

but FT with TSE was just way better

than SE + TSE cookie

[dawn plume]

the most annoying part is syncs not critting

i did ss mina on registeel lg14 and i actually got a sync crit on bar 3 with the +1 crit

lucky day

[errant plume]

Since Nessa is weak to Fire, I suggest you that instead

[sharp lichen]

this run will probably be easier nowadays too considering skill gears didnt exist back then

[errant plume]

Indeed

[karmic willow]

this works too?

i mean

then how do you slot in H.Leon?

where do you slot in H leon*

[sharp lichen]

https://youtu.be/fWhFodOHl3o?si=ys8v5nGVJoY3kQfF&t=2818

^ 1/5 Holiday Leon and 3/5 MC + Regirock for Tapu Bulu

[true tartan]

3/5 Regirock...

[sharp lichen]

😭

[true tartan]

[lost juniper]

Anni is too close to spend super bp tickets

[sharp lichen]

yeah

i have 2 super BP Tickets and we usually get 1 of each during anni

[lost juniper]

Same, but my nat crit sync was in Bar 1

[heavy sinew]

You guys have super BP tickets?

[dawn plume]

i have 2 yeah

close to a 3rd

and anni will give a 4th

i will grab the 2 new bp units (presumably) then 3/5 something

probably dana

unless the newer ones are better

[lost juniper]

You don't???

Why

[true tartan]

maybe spent them leveling up haha

I have 5

[lost juniper]

I mean yeah, but why do it

[lost juniper]

I have also like 4 or 5

I only spended another one on Mesprit for 2/5 nodes

[true tartan]

I have... Nita and Mesprit at 2/5

the rest are 1

[karmic willow]

Moltress is so decked with this

[vagrant crypt]

[young forge]

I have 1 in reserve. So far I spent 2 on Evelyn and 2 on Mesprit, in part because of their respective High Score type events.

3/5 Evelyn and at least 2/5 Mesprit seem to be somewhat common based on other’s LG clears

[river cliff]

I've got Dana and Mesprit to 3/5, some regrets about not just leaving Mesprit at 2/5 but eh

[quaint tartan]

I always keep 1 in the bag bc anni usually gives 2 new 5* bp mf and they gift a ticket so I get them all

But I have Evelyn/nita/mc mesprit at 3/5 so far

[inner turret]

All at 1/5 lol

And 3 tickets in the bag

[stuck mantle]

I have 2 tickets

[kind imp]

0/5 Regirock and 1 ticket

[river cliff]

Poor Regirock

[rocky oasis]

i wanna 3/5 dana eventually

Already have cobalion, evelyn, regirock 3/5

nita too

[quaint tartan]

My next is gonna bc coba coz syncro healing

[rocky oasis]

it def does wonders for his performance

i was def one of the first people to 3/5 him

even got the solo

[sturdy steeple]

coba 3/5 is bad!!! others are way better to 3/5!!!

[inner turret]

Mesprit 3/5 kinda bad

[sturdy steeple]

mesprit is definitely the worst to 3/5 but shes the best to 2/5

[river cliff]

Not needing to rely on mpr to max sp atk is pretty great. And the defensive buffs help a lot too

[lost juniper]

Get rekt bozo

Posting soon

[worthy horizon]

may want to test out flameproof since bar 2 was the biggest obstacle though i needed to take the burn for my particular skill gear

but test with a duo first so you can get the buffs without resetting for mprs

it is different since it actually gets you an extra speed buff since you don't block leer and get to convert the speed debuff

[heavy sinew]

Probably haven't done a lot of BP stuff to get them

Like CS

or maybe cause I used them to 3/5 regirock

[raven crane]

Played since the 2nd Anniversary, done at least 95% of things BP related since then, I only have one voucher and am coming up on my 2nd.

I have all of the Sync Pairs with only Dana at 3/5 (none at 2/5.)

[heavy sinew]

Ok then yeah I've just been lazy to do them

Cause I'm day 1 and I'm just on and off about doing them

[raven crane]

Yeah lazy boy.

[rotund rain]

2nd anni, that’s…

still a while ago

[raven crane]

Yeh, so just says that BP is not that common.

Not without buying the booster.

[lost juniper]

https://youtu.be/YQXdjTcQbwY

[heavy sinew]

I have her ex so maybe it can be lowered

[lost juniper]

Good luck with that

You need a LOT of flinches but in theory this is doable

[heavy sinew]

It's 50% how bad can it be?

[lost juniper]

Well you need to win it almost every time

When it matters

It's like SC Zinnia solo but you have more leeway

[heavy sinew]

Oh God I forgot about that solo

I forgot I have to do it

Crap

Game crashed on bar 3

Really

[rocky oasis]

gonna give lowering this solo to 1/5 ex another shot later

eating noodles for dinner rn

[lost juniper]

I imagine 2/5 wouldn't be too bad right?

[rocky oasis]

2/5 has vigilance and quick cure

way easier

1/5 is just obnoxious

miserable solo

[sturdy steeple]

Save some for me
