Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)

[karmic willow]

Lessen Flinch 9 or

Heals for DAYS

And just kills you with overwhelming damage

that's moltress for you alright

[worthy horizon]

sst red gets status and interference immune under terrain and it always has terrain up when it needs it

so that's just a 100% win

[lost juniper]

Blue is a perfect Tornadus counter

Even ai can't fail it

[wicked tusk]

^

[lost juniper]

Same with SST Red but that probably need 3/5

[wicked tusk]

i do this everytime

[worthy horizon]

blue can fall to like hurricane confusion if you're unlucky enough

[heavy sinew]

Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in LG. An LG with Moltres. Moltres that has Lessen Flinch 9. And Lessen Flinch 9 makes me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once.

[worthy horizon]

which i def have been

[lost juniper]

Blue is so tanky it's realistically never happening

Syncro Healing too

[feral plank]

And sst red is just perfect himself

[karmic willow]

resillience 1

[worthy horizon]

or maybe it's just that it's a bit slow

[karmic willow]

double flinch on moltress is JUSTIFIED

i remember back then

lyra blue and thorton

that was a team alright

[inner turret]

Ah that's why it recovers from flinch fast

[river cliff]

Extra finicky on the half bars

Didn't they change something about the order of passives triggering with flinch cleansing being a sore point somewhat recently?

[golden robin]

done with 10 victories
so long lame gauntlet

[karmic willow]

gauntlet is lame

true that

[worthy horizon]

https://youtu.be/OGOuAfykYCs @karmic willow

[karmic willow]

time to sleep and do that when i wake up

gonna be epic

same as my NC Red clear

[dawn plume]

leaderboard = autocrash

[karmic willow]

first time?

[heavy sinew]

Actually?

[worthy horizon]

ww3 ss lysandre unbending 5* support quaxly

[heavy sinew]

5/5 rip

[worthy horizon]

+10e

i'm not certain on how much the sync nodes are required so +4 could be possible

[karmic willow]

bp morty sucksssss

[quaint tartan]

Hey
I can do this

[karmic willow]

what?

another

5/5 +10E lysandre enjoyer?

[worthy horizon]

dmg bonuses are important for reducing dmg rolls, idk what it's like without them

[quaint tartan]

That water hse title wasn’t gonna farm himself

[kind imp]

Yes

#916852044692856834 message

But it's with any recovery passive

Static cling now procs before self cleanse

H.viola para on sync procs before uxie's half bar cleanse

[dawn plume]

what latias solos are worth doing

i did sycamore, clemont, ss cyrus

oh ss n

[quaint tartan]

Nc Serena / Askyla

[worthy horizon]

i'm working on lodge dawn

[karmic willow]

argenta

[worthy horizon]

i got to upgrade argenta to 4/5 recently

extremely worth

[karmic willow]

nice

@median swan

how bad is the silver solo on moltress

and if i added like, an onix, would it be overkill?

[quaint tartan]

I was gonna say add a 1/5 dc Nemona

But I remember you have 5/5

[karmic willow]

nc nemona?

who?

ah right

dc

[karmic willow]

no silver no marnie

but worth

[median swan]

pretty bad, a def dropping eggmon would help a lot so he can have ft2/se2/e9 instead

[quaint tartan]

Dc , nc… a couple of weeks we’re gonna have them all

[river cliff]

@worthy horizon is ss lysandre exr?

[worthy horizon]

yep

[river cliff]

Cool. Into the repository it goes

[raven crane]

Definitely prefer the Berserker grid.

Not bad at all.

[dawn plume]

huh

share grid pls

ez not close not worried

[sullen stag]

what are the odds of a -6 accuracy seed bomb missing its hit 5 times in a row 😭

[shy sinew]

1/32 right

[dawn plume]

assuming your own yeah

if its a boss with minds eye its less

[shy sinew]

if it's bulu's then mind's eye 5 comes into play

which that's significantly less, I think less than 1%

[sullen stag]

1% to miss with -6 accuracy 💀

guess im not doing that solo lol

[kind imp]

which solo?

[sullen stag]

SC Selene 1/5 EX

on bulu

[karmic willow]

man

tina and mix blue

feels overkill

on latias

but nah

XD

[karmic willow]

nice

[karmic willow]

dang, it's THAT tough alright

Tech Onix to the rescue

because i can afford a def dropper

[raven crane]

Thanks for reminding me.

Oh wait I already had it noted.

[karmic willow]

like i just got my

6th copy

yesterday

XD

also

team inflict heal

busted

[raven crane]

I've pulled maybe seven copies of Mix Blue out of 300 scout points.

Insanely lucky.

[karmic willow]

like you get to debuff soooooooo much

just

spam heals

on TINA

no need for speed drop or burn

@median swan started LG yet ?

i've seen quaggles on da run

[dawn plume]

he said hes not gonna push that hard this time around cuz work

on yt

[karmic willow]

dang

all of the people i know are

not doing this particular one

[shy sinew]

moltres moment

[dawn plume]

good ol ho-oh duo

[quaint tartan]

August heat moment
Kinda fitting with the birb

[worthy horizon]

moltres overheats my phone

[karmic willow]

but yeah

@median swan adding onix just makes everything feel so nice

the easy queue, the absolute destruction

The theme skills

ToT

big fan of theme skills over here

[median swan]

yup but like lemmay said not gonna tryhard this one, don't wanna do the miserable moltres duos

i did do the 3 most important clears tho

[dawn plume]

whoa that works at 2/5

[quaint tartan]

There’s still og Hugh solo to be done

[median swan]

he's going to moltres unfortunately

[karmic willow]

holy hell

you actually did it

[dawn plume]

i used dc wally and dc hugh for the first time today in rally cuz i got a seed with 8/10 stages sprint lmao

[karmic willow]

congrats

[dawn plume]

i actually like em

fun kits

[karmic willow]

@median swan how bad is the first clear again?

like

i am seriously thinking of adding clefable

[median swan]

with cake wally's clear is much easier

[karmic willow]

just to heal and be done with it

[tight rivet]

uh

so

[median swan]

still need to instaqueue bar 3 sync tho

[karmic willow]

yeah no doubt

that's a killer move

[tight rivet]

can greta do latias like actually

[karmic willow]

yes

at 3/5

[tight rivet]

how much investment

ah good

i was thinking about 3/5

does she need cake too

[karmic willow]

k i n d a

her entire zone gimmick requires cake

and

it's a good cake alright

do it

[dawn plume]

current clear uses cake yeah

[tight rivet]

kinda as in its possible but really annoying without?

ah

[karmic willow]

more like required

[tight rivet]

i see

[dawn plume]

proooobably required

[tight rivet]

guess ill hold off on it for now then

[dawn plume]

you also need her personal lucky skill

[tight rivet]

i got it

[karmic willow]

@median swan oh right, how many resets did it take for you to do silver again?

[tight rivet]

i figured she’d use it

[karmic willow]

this time around of course

because i just did onix to save time, and have fun

[median swan]

like more than an hour lol

[dawn plume]

oof

[karmic willow]

yeah.... that's a no from me XD

i mean

i did see you mention

dodging a few moves

and stuff

still

it is something silver can do by himself

unlike that nc red clear of mine

[sullen stag]

yippee

[karmic willow]

like holy hell the amount of stuff i had to jam into it

[karmic willow]

2/5?

[sullen stag]

3/5

very funny killing the 3rd bar with 2 bmoves or you die

running CS2 because no 2* crunchy cookies for stoic lol

[karmic willow]

cs2 is

actually better

believe it or not

[sullen stag]

oh lol

[karmic willow]

it's literally ride or die

[sullen stag]

yeah lmao

[karmic willow]

also

dc4 > cs2

tbh

because you know bulu be STACKING

[sullen stag]

i tried running DC4 but his defense never went below 0 lol

maybe i was just getting unlucky idk

[karmic willow]

yeah

at that point

run cs2 and S H R E D

i remember when my akari was 1/5

a long time ago

did it with like umbreon

because i needed the extra flinch to buy time

also dark zone allows me to 2 tap it bar 3 lol

i used up all of my flinches

[dawn plume]

i dont get the jasmine solo

how does she not get owned by energy balls

bruh i didnt have the right gear on im dumb as bricks

[raven crane]

Same.

[river cliff]

I had a lot more luck with the mad strength build than fast track

[rocky oasis]

i wasted an hour on the bianca moltres solo

its so finicky

died to a overheat at the last minute

[dawn plume]

god

[rocky oasis]

time to toss a egg

[dawn plume]

i might need to 150 her

[rocky oasis]

i have her 150 and it doesnt help much

[quaint tartan]

Exr?

[sleek lagoon]

I. Hate. Moltress.

This was suposed to be my chill cookie farm* LG skip

[quaint tartan]

Good morning angel, welcome to the club have a seat

[hearty haven]

I'm struggling with Latias, somehow.

[dawn plume]

bruh 5 gyro balls in a row and not one of them proc mgr4

50% chance btw

[sharp lichen]

What team

[hearty haven]

I tried out Maylene, Darach and egg dewgong

[sharp lichen]

What grid? I used some extra energy to get first aid 4 which helps a ton

[sharp lichen]

Do you have Clemont with heliolisk

[hearty haven]

Yeah

I was considering using him

[sharp lichen]

What move level

[hearty haven]

Clemonts my fav gym leader

5/5 I'm pretty sure

[sharp lichen]

EX?

[hearty haven]

Nope

[sharp lichen]

You should ex him tbh

It’s a generally easy Latias solo if you do

[dawn plume]

im also using extra energy but i dont have first aid

[hearty haven]

Darach keeps losing too much health by the time i knock put flygon. Once that gradual healing is gone, RIP

[dawn plume]

was trying this

[sharp lichen]

Ngl you don’t need the extra defense, main issue is from energy ball

[dawn plume]

damn i gave her +8 for nothin

[sharp lichen]

Wait

Tough cookie

[karmic willow]

yeas

[dawn plume]

yea the defense mpr helps with tough cookie

was my thought process

i think its just too out of the way though

[sharp lichen]

Yeah

[raven crane]

I love this deer.

[sharp lichen]

Maybe this?

Ignore the smudge lol

[dawn plume]

yea im gonna try that

well

i got some sp def tiles instead

idk how impactful that will be

[sharp lichen]

What’s your gear situation like

[raven crane]

Jasmine soloing Bulu?

[sharp lichen]

Yes

She can now since she can buff crit

[raven crane]

Sounds painful.

Cheers!

[heavy sinew]

gonna continue my streeak

finally home

[dawn plume]

dont have a better bandanna for her

[heavy sinew]

game runs so freakin smooth

never had this level of smoothness before

[dawn plume]

well i have uh

ny wallace

[dawn plume]

his feather gives pinch dr 4%

its something

[sharp lichen]

Mad strength or fast track?

[dawn plume]

ms

[sharp lichen]

Ah that’s what I’m doing

Here’s the gears I’m using

Could be better

[river cliff]

Needs a couple extra energy but first aid made it a ton easier

[dawn plume]

flinched twice sp def dropped ggs

[mint osprey]

Flannery and Blaine make good tank (and dps) versus Moltres if you're going flinch route

Though I'd recommend 3 pairs for your sanity sake

[quiet harness]

Does latias need stats lowered?

I can't remember which one it is

Please ping me

[worthy horizon]

yes

[mint osprey]

You need at least two debuffs and not counting evasion

One is definitely not enough

[quiet harness]

Oh great

[sullen stag]

if anyone's got me, i know elaine's got me 🙏🙏🙏

[quiet harness]

I was going to see if I could get cookies for the damage challenge but I'm not sure with latias how feasible that is

[mint osprey]

OG Sycamore with expansion and Defense Crush 2 can solo Latias

[sullen stag]

i hope sycamore's powerboost is after Cyrus's because hes so good lmao

[quiet harness]

Oh

A free support can solo it

[worthy horizon]

sycamore is broken tbf

[mint osprey]

At least for LG

[worthy horizon]

ye

[sullen stag]

5/5 20/20 sycamore carried my supports when i was just starting lol

[quiet harness]

Can someone post a grid for him?

[worthy horizon]

lodge dawn and clemont can solo too

[mint osprey]

First one would make you cry

[quiet harness]

I have all master fairs except Steven so I know the others are easy...or they should be.

It's latias that's my problem. I just want purple cookies for damage challenge. I haven't done gauntlet ever

[sullen stag]

looking at the SS Gladion bulu clear and its so funny, hes on like 5% health for 2 bars lmao

[karmic willow]

This used to take me

10 tries

Now just one and done

[mint osprey]

Either you get lucky, or you git gud

[quaint tartan]

This is one of the few cases where mf Steven guarantees a free clear

Like literally, look at my healthy boi

[mint osprey]

Only at 3/5

[sleek lagoon]

Justice for Anni Steven for once

[mint osprey]

Without 3/5, he's as useful as Roark

[quaint tartan]

Twice, he can also clear a couple of UBs

[quaint tartan]

Roark best sleep chainer and nuker, wdym

[mint osprey]

Maybe I should add - Gridless Roark

[quaint tartan]

Btw I’m aware he’s crap but the concept of the unit is one of the best so far imo (his costume/story/fit)

He just need a stat revamp

And a rising tide for the nuke

[mint osprey]

Still no cake given to him too

[quaint tartan]

There’s still a couple of mf missing, anni N of that anni too

I think it’s them, ash, and the hisui clan leaders

[karmic willow]

Yeah no i am sticking with support machamp

[sharp lichen]

Man

[karmic willow]

Do you explode?

Last Word is a thing

BRO DID YOU LET LAST WORD ACTIVATE

@sharp lichen

[quaint tartan]

Last word also gets 30% more from tough cookie too

[karmic willow]

I SWEAR IF YOU RESETTED THEN

My god

[sullen stag]

imagine forgetting about last word, couldnt be me 🥱

[karmic willow]

Brooooooo

[worthy horizon]

i think i did that with og morty earlier xd

[karmic willow]

https://tenor.com/view/walter-white-walter-hank-walter-screaming-walter-yelling-gif-26473309

[sullen stag]

i was referring to this lmao

[karmic willow]

@sharp lichen please I need to know

Did you blow

[sleek lagoon]

fun fact, just did a steelix / skyla run

[quaint tartan]

New Morty doesn’t blow

[sharp lichen]

Oh

Dammit

[karmic willow]

Broooooo

[sullen stag]

[karmic willow]

But

@sturdy steeple so steelix solo is a thing now?

[sharp lichen]

It has been

[karmic willow]

Is it something you do too?

[worthy horizon]

it has been

[karmic willow]

Like

Is it the standard this time cuz

I am skeptical

I mean she is incredibly useful on all 3

Stat drop mitigation is a blessing

[worthy horizon]

i would like to get a moltres duo for her

idk if i actually can

[karmic willow]

Yeah like

[worthy horizon]

rn i'm trying sycamore eggmon

[karmic willow]

Immediate gauge can solve a bit

[karmic willow]

On who? Latias?

[worthy horizon]

her extra def and crit protection

could help

lol no

[karmic willow]

Ohhhh

You mean jas and

Sometjing

Oh right forgot to mention

Jas is def

Moltress hits def

Incredibly useful

25 46

I'm cooking

[raven crane]

Does Tina + Mix Blue need Tina EX'd?

[ebon raft]

Got my 10 wins and I’m out

[dawn plume]

just got nat crit 3 times in a row

[karmic willow]

Yes?

[sullen stag]

wait, mix red can auto bulu 💀

[karmic willow]

You need the stat and damage race

[karmic willow]

Yup

I love this clear

Auto timing is fun

Wood hammer slam into chip damage

Chip damage is the timing key

[next trail]

21 streak and I'm good, by far my least favorite Gauntlet

[worthy horizon]

this definitely can work but it's much slower than lysandre

would be better if i had a +6 def egg that wasn't butterfree

support aerodactyl

have to not miss +1 crits on the phys dmg reduction shield like 10 syncs in lol

if i could just make myself use jasmine

+6 def +3 crit and some crit protection early

[sleek lagoon]

Can you get gold purple cookie after 2 clear ( exactly on ur second clear ) or you need higher chain to start chance for gold ? ( forgot the % , requirement, and i'm lazy to search so i prefer ask )

[worthy horizon]

you can get 3* deluxe at 1 clear but the odds are low

[sleek lagoon]

Moltress already melting my brain, will just go with two autos and reset i just can't stand LG anymore

[dawn plume]

its 1%

at 1 streak

[worthy horizon]

yea

[dawn plume]

not realistic

[sharp lichen]

I remembered this time lol

[sleek lagoon]

hum 4 is enough works for me

[vital ibex]

Any tips for the sc selene moltres solo? I feel like I cant queue her b move before he uses a move

[karmic willow]

Nice

[vital ibex]

Nvm i'm goated

[dawn plume]

ok why the hell have i been trying this for 3 hours

im giving up

everytime i make it to bar 3 it falls apart

closest i can get is 25% health left

after explosion

80k orbs down the drain

[bitter gate]

Welp, next

[raven crane]

How tough?

[sharp lichen]

How often do you use iron tail?

[bitter gate]

Literally only one factor

Which is "can I get sandstorm mpr 3 times"

"if i do, I autowin"

"if I don't, restart"

[indigo turret]

What's the fastest reset auto team

[worthy horizon]

sycamore gets outhealed by healing sun 2 on bar 3 unless you get really good crit luck

off +1 crit

[sharp lichen]

How hard is the acerola + pallosand solo for Moltres

[worthy horizon]

could probably stick some strong flying dps with two tanks and have it work on bulu

[indigo turret]

I'm using triple unova master for a 1 minish right now

cheren uses Fly though 3x

makes no sense AI

[chrome halo]

if you still love yourself, don't do that solo

[sharp lichen]

Damn 😔

[dawn plume]

only when i know it wont cost me gauge

[sharp lichen]

I saw the only proof of completion was a twitter video and I think that’s when I knew

[dawn plume]

like right after sync if i have 3 bars i'll queue iron tail since it rejuvenates anyways

[mint osprey]

When you only got 3-4 3-star deluxe off auto

This is gonna be rough but I need to (suffer) brace through it for a week

[indigo turret]

you mean an acerola 100% flinch rate run lol

[sharp lichen]

Do you wait for guage to fill before sync so you can use a move befor rejuvenation hits?

[dawn plume]

no i just sync asap

meanwhile got this 2nd try

[worthy horizon]

i have support marowak planned for acerola so i can run vigilance instead of mad strength

[dawn plume]

would've been 1st try but i got +1 evasion owned

[sharp lichen]

Ay nice

[dawn plume]

the classic

[worthy horizon]

and also have -6 acc

applied to moltres

[dawn plume]

rosa can tank a +6 wood hammer from full with the skill gear i had

its all rainbow feathers

[sharp lichen]

Any moltres runs you guys would reccomend?

[kind imp]

Pbea

[dawn plume]

ho-oh duo

if you havent already

[bitter gate]

Smh, I won it by the skin of my teeth because of lack of flinches

But speaks to the reliability of the clear I suppose

[indigo turret]

Exactly 1 min

[dawn plume]

oh champion serena solo is easy with exr

on latias

i was not expecting that it always gave me so much trouble lol

[mint osprey]

It's definitely easier with OG Rosa solo now that we have her at 5/5

[raven crane]

Bruh.

I'm gonna bum the shit out of this bird then.

[bitter gate]

Are people still doing Winona zinnia against bulu

Or are they throwing winona somewhere with moltres

[raven crane]

Latter I would imagine. Winona is kind a freebie, no?

[bitter gate]

Question then is with what

[raven crane]

Ironically I keep seeing "Winona is too good for Bulu" in past messages but can't see any lists of partners for the bird.

Pahahaha.

[worthy horizon]

you are not wasting any weather units on not moltres

it's between lodge rosa or nessa traditionally

[raven crane]

Even Sun.

[bitter gate]

I remembered some mad lads actually throwing winona on Bulu still

[raven crane]

Right I think I got her paired with Lodge Rosa.

[bitter gate]

Hmmm

Could I use a support for this instead

[worthy horizon]

problem is dealing with strictly 3 use rain

[bitter gate]

It's doable

[worthy horizon]

maybe, but you'd have to be the one to figure it out

[bitter gate]

I'm just wondering if it's cheaper than just throwing an abuser with her

[heavy sinew]

How bad is NC Bianca on Moltres?

I have her caked and tried flameproof but I couldn't get past bar 2

[raven crane]

Do the Berserker Grid and just pray for fleenches.

I got it really early.

[true tartan]

tfw Winona has a chance to solo Moltres

[heavy sinew]

Berserker?

[bitter gate]

Does she

Hmm

[raven crane]

Yeh, 'least it's what got me the win.

[worthy horizon]

technically she does

[true tartan]

she's been almost at bar 3

[bitter gate]

Maybe I should just throw egg pidgey at her and see what happens

Lol

[true tartan]

but got Rafa'd at bar 2

so couldn't nuke

[raven crane]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/10201/64000?s=3&l=150&r=6&p=0&a=17011701&g=AAECAwQFBgkMDRARFBcaHiAj&x=true

[bitter gate]

Cheapest support options in this case would be egg pidgey, lodge Acerola or Phoebe

Was leaning toward Phoebe

[heavy sinew]

Mmm

Ic

[rocky oasis]

idk how anyone is getting this clear to work

a crit near the end of bar 2 killed syca

[worthy horizon]

i don't think anyone ever did is the thing

[rocky oasis]

like its possible in theory if you never get crit

[worthy horizon]

yeah i made it to bar 3 but i had to dodge a whole ton of crits

and once you get there you need good crit dealing luck to not get outhealed

[heavy sinew]

How do you win

[rocky oasis]

50% crits

lots of crit

and dont die to crit fire blast

[heavy sinew]

Damn man

good luck

[worthy horizon]

it's not worth sticking to eggmon

[heavy sinew]

didn't want to deal with shenanigans so I did the latias solo

Got slippery sloped twice and somehow won

[rocky oasis]

can i afford marlon

idk

[raven crane]

I love theoretically possible clears!

[worthy horizon]

the run that made it to bar 3 was with marlon and i don't think he's even enough

if you aren't willing to sink an absurd number of hours on it

(i very much was for the sake of lysandre)

that one i had mapped out decently well though

[mint osprey]

You can use eggmon if you utilise sleep strat, unless you are pooling those versus Bulu but that will be a waste

[robust nymph]

Stealing this. I'm struggling to find teams for my water nukers that want defense debuffs

[mint osprey]

Generally you want to oneshot bar 2 so sleep chain works

[robust nymph]

How does this even fucking work

[worthy horizon]

it doesn't

even at +3 crit you still barely outdamage with horn leech so you have to be able to mix in moonblasts

[mint osprey]

Flameproof is definitely a must there.

[worthy horizon]

just got to 1% with phoebe

[mint osprey]

Let's not forget the birb can heal off most damage on bar 3

[worthy horizon]

last move crit

4800 healing per turn

[mint osprey]

Exactly

[worthy horizon]

horn leech at 10-11 sync buffs does roughly the same amount on a crit, moonblast does 7k

the solo was always doomed

[river cliff]

Probably the most useful clear egg Umbreon can help with

[mint osprey]

I think Azzy did a solo before

[river cliff]

Yeah, but the solo sucks

[mint osprey]

But that requires a lots of flinch (and sanity)

[river cliff]

Somehow her 70% flinch chance procced less than Thorton's 50%, go figure

[sturdy steeple]

azzy didnt, knight did

[sharp lichen]

Finally

[river cliff]

Would support or striker Golem be more helpful to help out NC Bianca on Moltres?

[sharp lichen]

Support right? What does striker do

[river cliff]

Rock slide dps + 30% flinch

[sharp lichen]

Wouldn’t guage be an issue?

[river cliff]

I'm not sure

[tight rivet]

yeah thats what an acerola run is but its absolutely miserable cuz shes build like paper

[raven crane]

+4 energy for Air Cutter gauge refresh makes this so much easier on the RNG, not that it was horrible before.

[heavy sinew]

So far my game crashes when I'm recording and deleting a failed recording at the same time

Fun

Gonna continue tomorrow

5 streak

[raven crane]

Six, myself.

Good luck everyone, cheers.

[heavy sinew]

wtf

hate the bird and his sunny daze shit

cannot win with Bianca getting blasted by a sync after failing 4 coin flips in a row

[sharp lichen]

For the NC Bianca solo on Moltres is berserker or sync reccomended?

[timid laurel]

Watching people struggle with solos ☠️

I'm like rank 15 right now with almost no planning and doing monotype teams. 🤣

[raven crane]

In my opinion, Berserker.

[heavy sinew]

Berserker is the play

[timid laurel]

But I know in a week or so I'll be down to like 5000

[rocky oasis]

i tossed a beedrill in w/ bianca

[mint osprey]

Doing solo is not for the weak of heart

[sharp lichen]

I already did the Geeta solo and I do not want to do this kind of run all over again lol

Might just throw in Support Beedrill and call it a day

[robust nymph]

Moltres pls

Why do you unflinch immediately before my tshock can connect

[mint osprey]

Solo moment

[dawn plume]

forget jasmine i did a different johto gym leader that has last word solo on bulu

and it was way easier lol

first try

didnt even explode

[mint osprey]

OG Morty with the PB is just

[dawn plume]

he is so good now

big fan

should probably be updated on the doc cuz its way easier now than the old grid

[mint osprey]

Higher damage ceiling means less need to MPR spam that Shadow Walk

[river cliff]

Who are people pairing with Ghetsis?

[worthy horizon]

i never got the chance to test him so idk yet

[dawn plume]

can lorelei duo

i did lorelei/pryce/ghetsis last time latias was in rotation but that was a year ago

[bitter gate]

she can

[heavy sinew]

grrr

I hate birds

[bitter gate]

i just don't like the duo

also I have a really dumb moltres duo in the works

[median swan]

did ghetsis 1/5 mesprit on latias before and it was annoying af, have it at 2/5 now so dunno if it would be overkill

[bitter gate]

I'm just trying to get the right RNG for it

[bitter gate]

Ghetsis/Latias in general is a pain in the ass because

if you use an eggmon

the RNG needed is tilting

but any shitty non eggmon support

even marlon

can feel like overkill

lol

[heavy sinew]

That was like the standard for ghetsis back then lmao

[median swan]

no way an eggmon would work he needs some form of recovery

[river cliff]

Was trying starmie but it melted to physical hits

Lorelei + Ghetsis could be interesting

[bitter gate]

he would mostly be fishing for cold snap procs

lol

with an eggmon

I tried it earlier, it was super tilting

[dawn plume]

2/5 mesprit hmm

[median swan]

but did it work

[bitter gate]

got to third bar

and if I freeze the EQ

i would've won it

essentially a patience check lol

[median swan]

oof relying on a specific 30% freeze to clear is not fun lol

[dawn plume]

irida latias solo

[median swan]

good thing she goes to moltres this time around

i say with my 0/5 irida

[bitter gate]

This is why my Rose solos were not fun at all

lol

[median swan]

was also thinking cheren but i think someone tried it here and it was too easy?

[bitter gate]

it was me, yes

I also tried it with Marlon

that felt pretty simple too

[median swan]

sadness

[bitter gate]

between 1/5 Dana, Cheren and Marlon

[dawn plume]

uhh

[bitter gate]

You inevitably are gonna have an 'easy' duo

[dawn plume]

i know people did ss mina and cyrus on moltres in the past

is that still good

i didnt have ss mina last year

[median swan]

i'm in the same boat and that's what i'm going with too lol

[dawn plume]

idk what grid cyrus runs for that

this??

[median swan]

i got that team from quaggles so it might be in one of their old docs

[olive swift]

King quack

[dawn plume]

this worked

first try

pretty easy

[heavy sinew]

Do you stack syncs with mina?

[dawn plume]

yeah all syncs go to mina

since team whimsical immunity

[heavy sinew]

Oh right

Forgor

[robust nymph]

THE RAT FINALLY KILLED THE BIRD

MY GOD

MY HANDS ARE TREMBLING

[dawn plume]

oh THAT solo

i don't think i'm brave enough

i'll save the rat as a wildcard

[lost juniper]

My rat goes to Latias

No 3/5 makes him useless for Moltres

[river cliff]

1/5 Penny life

[robust nymph]

is the cerena solo on latias recommended? mine's 3/5 EXR

flinch galore scares me

[bitter gate]

Ugh, ffs

I almost got it

but ofc

I had to reach the half bar

and none of my syncs critted

but yeah, I can do this

[worthy horizon]

gl

i had to give up on the sycamore duo even after reaching 1% bar 3

for now

[dawn plume]

i did it exr and only needed 1 flinch

the extra bulk from cake helps soooo much

[robust nymph]

1 flinch on what move?

or does it not matter

[dawn plume]

just anywhere on bar 2 so outrage doesnt come out

[robust nymph]

[stuck mantle]

In lg arena i did this many times easy🤣 but in lg its pain🤪

[worthy horizon]

sometimes i accidentally do things in legendary arena instead of gauntlet

so i had to do that one twice

luckily wasn't too difficult either time

was screwing me over earlier tbf

[manic oak]

Sheesh Moltres is a pain without weather change or stat drops. Good thing i got all the rewards so i can just reset and easily OHKO this birb with T-Tar

[robust nymph]

i

latias froze me twice in a row??

zen headbutt aggravation 9 strikes again

[river cliff]

Candice almost 1 shot bar 2 with ice zone + 6 sync buffs. The duo would definitely work but it would take a lot longer

[mint osprey]

Dennis can definitely do Latias but he needs a good support to provide speed

[worthy horizon]

w-who

[mint osprey]

I'm thinking OG Skyla at the very least

[sharp lichen]

Never again bruh

Idk why it’s blurry lol

[gleaming cypress]

how do you get egg glaceon

[mint osprey]

From that limited eevee batch

[sharp lichen]

Egg glaceon is from the Eevee egg batch

[gleaming cypress]

💀

[mint osprey]

Meanwhile, Cloyster...

[gleaming cypress]

no moltres clear for me then

[mint osprey]

I'm still malding over it

[sharp lichen]

Same

[mint osprey]

DeNA really like to release eggs then forget they existed

Unless it's those damn karps

Or cats

[sharp lichen]

I wonder how many eggs we even have left

[river cliff]

I'm guessing they'll run the event every eevee month

A pretty good number

[mint osprey]

Tech Lapras is a good Hail setter on top of pretty sturdy tank

[gleaming cypress]

anything that doesn’t have 3 passives is going straight out the window lol

yeah

[worthy horizon]

it is helpful to hold onto 1 and 2 passive stuff sometimes

assuming you don't have a 3 passive ofc

bc you will miss out on some essential eggmons at some point if you're f2p

[kind imp]

also some third passives don't matter

[worthy horizon]

yep

[sharp lichen]

I think all that’s left is the psyduck line, poliwag line, tentacool line, drowzee, krabby, Mr. Mime,

[river cliff]

They sure do like to lock the best passives in slot three a lot of the time tho

Dodrio

[sharp lichen]

Oh yeah them too

Possibly Alolan vulpix

Or diglett

[gleaming cypress]

you guys have dodrio already??

I thought it was added this datamine

[sharp lichen]

Rhyhorn was the most recent, no news about dodrio

[river cliff]

I'm guessing once they're done they'd jump into gen 2, which would be pretty hype since it'd be anyone's guess as to what we'd get

[chrome halo]

Psyduck and Hypno family have eggmon datamine in the game, but they have never been released

[sharp lichen]

Is there a way to see their kits? Just out of curiosity

[kind imp]

i don't think we have kits nvm

[river cliff]

They're on serebii

[kind imp]

just the models

[chrome halo]

also on pomatools iirc?

[river cliff]

I'm not seeing them

[chrome halo]

yeah just checked

[river cliff]

Support golduck will be ss misty's new bff

Not really sure what to make of confusion + trap in the same kit for tech lol

[chrome halo]

Zen Headbutt flinch + crit

very funny

[lost juniper]

I did it

Never giving up

[mint osprey]

We are getting the dodrio soon

[rocky oasis]

WHY IS WOOD HAMMER CRITIN 3 TIME IN A ROW

[robust nymph]

God this caitlin solo is deceptively difficult

how did i get it so easily last time

[inner turret]

Rng moment

[bitter gate]

is there a guide to the bertha + nidoking duo

randomly does a daily on the last day of the Greta banner

gets her

welp, a free Bulu i suppose

why not

[quaint tartan]

Yes it’s a free bulu

I did it with 1/5 ex but 1/5 works too I guess

[bitter gate]

or is she better for latias

akro already did it uninvested

so im pretty sure it's fine

[inner turret]

Watch a vid

My guess is that it's similar to the Cobalion duo

[robust nymph]

does bar 3 seed bomb kill sidney if he's not at full HP wtf

[bitter gate]

yeah, can someone like, provide me with one

lol

[inner turret]

Isnt it in the repo

[bitter gate]

repository uses egg hitmonchan

it doesn't have the nidoking version

[chrome halo]

aren't they the same

[karmic willow]

@bitter gate

How do you do that nc calem and lodge may duo

[bitter gate]

Uhh, it's pretty simple

get rain early asap

oneshot the second bar

then just play around with the last bar

if you're really stressed for range run mind games or something

I gave skippingmud the specs above, just go find it

[mint osprey]

I remember seeing duo with OG Siebold

[bright brook]

17 solo streak

[bitter gate]

OG Siebold is a better unit than May, I did Siebold with Anabel

My capacity for streaking solos disappeared after Kris and Ingo solos

the only solo I can do for Moltres is Lysandre, and that's a tilter

lol

[bright brook]

I haven't done ingo yet is it bad

[quaint tartan]

Anabel without role?

[bitter gate]

@bright brook well, you only want 3 MPRs on sand

then you win

lol

the issue isn't anything else

it

is just "can you do it or not"

[bitter gate]

she doesn't need it, no

[bright brook]

I can do sst red solo as well but im waiting for my last tech coin

[bitter gate]

but its me so

My anabel is EXR 10E

I did like 4 of her last solos by myself because of it lol

but no, you don't need the cake for it

you just need synchro healing

and good flinches

while Siebold also is less stressed to be maintained because of his TM

• MGR9 means gauge is smooth

and then even smoother after FT procs from Annie

[inner turret]

Isnt it literally the same

[bright brook]

If 3 MPR is the only variable then i may do it

[bitter gate]

egg hitmonchan is better than nido isn't it

because she stays alive

[inner turret]

Except worse because nidoking has fast animation with poison sting

[bitter gate]

run flameproof and its the only variable

the sand will do more work than your actual damage

so its like stall but with MPR RNG

[bright brook]

I attempted ingo bulu before and there was an attempt where i got like 7 sand and still lost

[bitter gate]

yeah because Bulu heals

moltres can't heal so long as you can reset sand

[bright brook]

Yea point is 5 sand isnt the worst

Ill actually do it then

[bitter gate]

you need 1 sand early

2 sand 2nd bar

and 2 sand third bar

and thne you just win

it's not that bad tbh

[river cliff]

A cheaper alternative to lodge volkner

[bitter gate]

Oh wow, wat

that is a thing ehh

interesting

Do I wanna continue with Raihan/Rose

or is there a better way I can do this

I also still need to do the winona/egg pidgeot duo

just that it takes such a long time

I could just throw a trashy eggmon in there I suppose, idk

[stuck folio]

Okay so for Tapu Bulu and Moltres, they both have a focus of flinching. The problem is that I don’t have many guaranteed flinchers other than Rei + H. Decidueye. So what I’m asking is how I should do this?

[sour isle]

groudon and fuecoco in sservice for Erika xd

[worthy horizon]

bulu can't be flinched more than 3 times but they last a while so using your lowest % flinchers is sufficient

the high odds ones can fit easily on moltres trios

[stuck folio]

Can I show my flinching roster here?

[worthy horizon]

sure

[inner turret]

I cant find any bertha nidoking clear lol

[river cliff]

Seems like hitmonchan's sustain would make a difference

[inner turret]

Yeah

[robust nymph]

does anyone have akari teams vs latias? mine's 4/5 EXR

[inner turret]

@bitter gate where did you hear about bertha nido

[inner turret]

solo

[robust nymph]

don't scare me like that

[stuck folio]

Where should I start off with Moltres?

[inner turret]

Damn she seems to require 5/5 for the solo
You're lucky this time

[robust nymph]

she can solo? i didn't see it on the sheet

[inner turret]

I dont really see why she couldnt

[stuck folio]

Cause my goal is to win all 9 times (maybe 11 if I want that deluxe cookie)

[robust nymph]

your weather changers

Winona, acerola are two easy ones. and you have anni raihan too

[inner turret]

Smth like that

[robust nymph]

ah, so theoretically

[inner turret]

If no one did it yet there must be a reason

[stuck folio]

So put up Anni Raihan with a rock type sync pair?

[sour isle]

12 clears done 😮

oh wait

only 10

hrm

[robust nymph]

doesn't have to be a rock type, just your strong damage dealer

[worthy horizon]

rock type would fit well

[quaint tartan]

Well, here comes the issue

[mint osprey]

Man, I appreciate the percentage on the health bar. A real QoL to make sure you don't overshoot

[karmic willow]

Nice

Thanks for the info

[stuck folio]

Should I grid Acerola?

[chrome halo]

you want to do it

because she needs more than 2 uses of Sandstorm

and there is Aggravation 1 raising the chance of flinch which is super good against the bird

[sour isle]

Done woth 12 clears. Surprisingly didnt reset woth the sc hilda fight o.o

i think i'll dip for now and play more later mmhmm

[stuck folio]

The lucky skill?

[chrome halo]

Flameproof helps, otherwise no need to

[worthy horizon]

aggravation being a grid tile

[stuck folio]

I can’t find aggravation 1 in Acerola’s grid

[chrome halo]

it's tied to Astonish

reading helps

[stuck folio]

Anyways, how should my grid be?

[robust nymph]

if you're low on sync orbs, just get sandstorm MPR and aggravation on astonish for Acerola. that's all.

[stuck folio]

Okay so now that that’s out the way, my supports keep fainting too quickly

Not really giving me enough time to do what I gotta do

[bitter gate]

moltres has an incredible crit rate

damn

[pearl beacon]

Failed h.Erika solo Latias for a stupid powerful crit outrage

0 streak, but I'll start tomorrow

[chrome halo]

3 of my SS Brendan solo attempts failed thanks to crit outrage too

[worthy horizon]

ramosssssss

[quaint tartan]

The SSLysandre+supp quaxly is super tight, I have defensive water gears and my B move is having moltres at 52/53%

[worthy horizon]

yeah offensive gear boost would be huge

[quaint tartan]

I have 20% physical dmg reduction bc I rolled them for hse but they are useless here

I’ll roll something in these days for upcoming ranked events so I guess if something good for sslys comes up I’ll take it and retry

[feral plank]

3/5 SS lysandre?

[quaint tartan]

5/5+10E

And I can say you really need 5/5 +10E and ex role

You are barely fitting dmg ranges

[robust nymph]

what team are you running?

after setting sandstorm you want to spam astonish to flinch moltres as much as possible

[worthy horizon]

damage reduction has plenty of chances to be useful in lg just less useful than offensive boosts for that particular duo

most of the time you prefer dr

[quaint tartan]

That’s why I’m keeping those gears and rolling others

[worthy horizon]

ofc

[arctic citrus]

Should have 90k Gems by tomorrow

[mint osprey]

When the Bloom Doom hit too hard

[shy gale]

The moltres solos are not it

I'm adding more pairs

[stuck folio]

Moltres is frustrating to face

[bitter gate]

I want to do the Sidney solo

against Bulu

but then there's also the fucking uhh

Sidney duo against Moltres

and I'm like

:V

decisions decisions

[shy gale]

Alot of the solos I saw is just flinching moltres til it dies

[robust nymph]

common moltres experience

[mint osprey]

That's pretty much if you don't want to rely on weather

You cannot really let it move especially during bar 3

[worthy horizon]

ye only bertha, ingo, may, ss diantha, and lysandre can solo without flinching

[mint osprey]

Bertha solo

[stuck folio]

Can I solo against Moltres cause this thing’s just gonna run my sync pairs before I hit 10 wins

[worthy horizon]

probably not

yeah nothing you showed comes close

anni raihan can ig

but it's not something you'd actually want to do

[quaint tartan]

The Anni raihan Roxanne duo is so good

Why torture yourself with the solo

[bitter gate]

you need at least 4/5 to do the solo anyway

also, the selene solo is hell, jesus

against bulu

[worthy horizon]

they happen to have 5/5 anni raihan but lv 138

[karmic willow]

i mean

are you Naomi? because she'd definitely go for moltress

because if you are then do moltress

bulu clears are easy

kill the bird

[karmic willow]

okay imagine

getting TWO MPR1 procs

no, THREE

but haha crit wood hammer 1k1

that literally happened to me and i'm still pissed

if i get a dime every time crit wood hammer ruins a solo

[mint osprey]

How stellar is 2 egg + 1 spotlight versus Moltres?

[karmic willow]

I'll do you one better

2 egg one fair

the SS Blue Strike Golem and Tech Perrserker experience

i DID that

[mint osprey]

Damn, Perserker is one thing. No flinch and it's cooked

[karmic willow]

that's why

strike golem

lmfao

you'd need

SO MANY tm mprs on blue

just for that team to get enough speed

[stuck folio]

To save sync pairs

[chrome halo]

you don't need to do that, especially when you are still quite inexperienced

uhhh the urge to resist double candy Anni Skyla must save for anni

[mint osprey]

Just for the Bulu solo?

Maybe if she's a favorite

[karmic willow]

do

Anni Skyla

and Nate vs Bulu

trust

i hate nate solo so

ACtually, I hate anything having to do with Nate

[stuck folio]

Should I just run whatever and say screw it?

[chrome halo]

i like her kit and outfit, and this is for future LG rotations too

but anni might introduce a fav tech

[chrome halo]

your roster is capable of clearing 10 streaks, so with smart teambuilding it will be a cakewalk

[crimson stratus]

I give you 3/5 exr anni skyla, you give me 3/5 exr nc cheren

did i ping? idk if i did monka

oops

[chrome halo]

i don't have Cheren ||2/5 Bianca took all of my savings||

no you didn't

[stuck folio]

I’m extremely bad at that. And my sync pairs aren’t even invested much

[raven crane]

Wonder where I'll use my 1/5 Anabel and Sygna Suit Blue.

[mint osprey]

OG Nate solo ain't that bad once you get the rhythm

Well outside of lousy MPR refresh

[worthy horizon]

yep

[blissful rose]

Nate is fine.

I personally dread the Eve solo instead.

[raven crane]

Yeah fuck the Eve solo.

Just gonna do a Latias duo.

[quaint tartan]

1/5 blue and Anabel can carry any mid tier striker to bulu imo

Anabel has some healing so maybe a latias debuffer (?)

[heavy sinew]

I KNEW IT WASNT JUST ME

[worthy horizon]

there's always a lot of things like that

things that were easy the first time and an absolute pain to replicate

also tfw ramos took me more time to get than lysandre moltres lmao

[feral plank]

In 15 resets i've got nat crit more than 10+ times and proc'd ridicure once , this is starting to feel absolutely rigged

[heavy sinew]

Ramos

[feral plank]

1 more nat crit

[worthy horizon]

still much more of a knowledge/execution check than moltres stuff

but also mashing make my shoulder hurt

[raven crane]

Yeah but.. it’s Bulu.
