Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)

[bitter gate]

lol

[rocky oasis]

i think that team is technically possible w/o 3/5

just infinitely more difficult

[sick parcel]

Ngl even at full grid Archie damage output feels meh

You have to hope SE+ lines up perfectly on his sync too

Oh you're Bulu-ing with Archie

[worthy horizon]

no that was moltres

[sick parcel]

Oh

Yeah I've tried Archie on Moltres a few times

He just melts like a slab of butter in the face of it

Only flinch can save the guy

[worthy horizon]

archie/lodge adaman works but it's tricky and annoying even with exr and skill gear

puyoteto did it in a previous lg without those

[rocky oasis]

didnt bother using it on his grid

managed to clear bar 2 w/o it

mine also isnt exr

[mint osprey]

How? Build sync until Archie can oneshot Bar 2 with Origin Pulse?

[worthy horizon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wyodyKCSrM

like that

[mint osprey]

Damn, Archie actually managed to survive bar 3 sync?

[rocky oasis]

wtf am i supposed to do w/ 1/5 ss piers

if i had a support cake id use it on him just to make him functional

[sharp lichen]

If you have swimsuit Misty you can duo on Latias

Piers needs fast track 2 though

[rocky oasis]

ok fair

i tried him vs bulu and he requires so much support to keep alive that i gave up

was thinking of using swimsuit misty vs moltres

[sharp lichen]

Because of full heal?

[rocky oasis]

and mgr9

stevens gauge is DOGSHIT

honestly gauge is a huge problem vs moltres even if i dont use her w/ steven

yeah no im moving steven somewhere else

[sharp lichen]

OG Steven? If 3/5 ex he can do an eggmon duo with Latias https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krqJRIWP6IE&list=PLe-F0Tqs73oz_Yru-vhCn86iZ0Nty32pk&index=1&t=1784s

[feral plank]

... Flare Blitz nat crit last half bar moltres rip Steven ...

[river cliff]

Idk if you've already got plans to use egg Leafeon but Brendan + flincher + egg Leafeon is a pretty clean clear

[rocky oasis]

lmao i forgot i ever did that clear. i used him vs bulu already

[sharp lichen]

lol

[worthy horizon]

yeah i keep getting surprised by seeing stuff that i did in the past that i don't immediately remember

[blissful rose]

Less than 2 weeks left and I'm here crunching difficult duos as if I have the time to use my full roster.

[pearl beacon]

Icy wind miss into insta psychic, damn bar3 spam

[lost juniper]

Latias is so fast in Bar 3

[bitter gate]

doesn't help that Lillie is slower than the progress of most modern manga series

[pearl beacon]

+6 speed is kinda fine
Lillie expansion when

[chrome halo]

Hey can i see your Lillie grid and skill

[pearl beacon]

Sure

High stats gears and 4* supp tauros

[quaint tartan]

Hi, it’s me

Literally me

[heavy sinew]

is hop 3/5 gloria too much on bulu? idk if i wanna do the solo

[quaint tartan]

Looking for solos and duos as if I could use my full roster

[heavy sinew]

TIL nitsua is still doing LG

W

[lost juniper]

3/5 EX done

No cake

[blissful rose]

I should really stop when I'm attempting ass duos while I could just break the duo into cheap easy trios.

[ancient thunder]

I'm so close to 40 wins ^^

It's a much slower climb than the first time I started to take it seriously, but I'm getting there

[graceful folio]

How are ya Bicio?

[quaint tartan]

Best feeling when I see a duo with a 1/5 unit that I have more invested

Me like: yes I’m doing it rn no matter if it’s a total waste

[quaint tartan]

[thick dawn]

very very epic clear

ish

ish meaning it wasn't cleared but lol

[quaint tartan]

Never have been better! What are you doing here?

[graceful folio]

Silently streaking

I miss causing ruckus in HSE

[quaint tartan]

Are you scoring #100 here too?

[graceful folio]

No lmao impossible I am too bad in lg

I need some cookies tho soooo let's say that in around less than a day of actually in game I went from 2 to 30 clears

[bitter gate]

[heavy sinew]

[graceful folio]

Pizza land my beloved

[quaint tartan]

Me and dabbo are both from Italy, we actually live kinda close, like 45 minutes driving lol

[graceful folio]

Someday I will cook for you bud promised

Rn I am in the middle of nowhere tho haha

[bitter gate]

oh you're both italian

I actually thought you were asian lol

sorry bicio

[true tartan]

lol..

[bitter gate]

idk where I got that vibe from kek

[quaint tartan]

No need to apologise but yeah pizzaland my beloved

[bitter gate]

i wish I could go there like my brother

italian pizza authentically

is not like your average fast food or even diner pizza

[graceful folio]

I would prepare one for you totally

100%

[true tartan]

[lost juniper]

Same, never been to Italy but would love to go one day

[graceful folio]

Just maybe not in summer cuz lazy and harsh heat hahaha 😂

But jokes aside, Bicio

[bitter gate]

where are you all from, actually

I only know where some people are from

but not everyone here

helps with timezones too

[graceful folio]

I am tho very strong on main course like pasta etc

Sauces for them etc etc

Risottos and much more

Gotta choose a good one for when we manage to enjoy some time me and Bicio

[bitter gate]

pasta is amongst my favorite foods but im a noodle person

also sorry if this is not the right place for chitchat kek

[graceful folio]

Nono no worries my fault haha

I always manage to direct chat to food stuff lmfao

Everywhere I go haha

[graceful folio]

And speaking of losing myself in food convos, congrats, keep it going

[true tartan]

tfw I cook but because it is fun

[graceful folio]

True I feel the same

When doing it for friends I become even happier

[quaint tartan]

And I’m happy to eat when somebody cooks for me

[graceful folio]

[heavy sinew]

damn it i almost did 1/5 sc selene and 1/5 pal marnie on bird

i couldnt get the queue on time

so annoying

[graceful folio]

Sadge

[ancient thunder]

Lol! Thank you!

[graceful folio]

I will keep going later tonight, for now just enjoying some time here swimming, saunas etc

[graceful folio]

That's what happens when someone who likes cooking and eating joins the convo lol 😂

[hallow gull]

[graceful folio]

Omg a spheal shaped friend

Relaxing you too?

[hallow gull]

Yep, i dont do any LG today so i’m just very chill rn

📺

[graceful folio]

Wonderful

I gotta do still even my dailies here today

As in missions

[heavy sinew]

finally

not very cool

[karmic willow]

lmfaooooooo

[lost juniper]

https://youtu.be/EeIkgw8RaZE

[graceful folio]

[heavy sinew]

4 flinches

from latias

i hate her

[graceful folio]

Zen headbutt never ceasing to cause anger

[heavy sinew]

what should my 50th clear be

[graceful folio]

Hmm 🤔

Any fav units you have left?

[heavy sinew]

a lot of cynthias

[graceful folio]

Very nice

Is chomp 5/5?

[heavy sinew]

yes

[graceful folio]

Is there a duo for it for Moltres?

[heavy sinew]

grant

[graceful folio]

With some dust kicker gaming?

You could try that

Hopefully things go alright

[ancient thunder]

I saw a super easy clear using Tech Snorlax and SS Erika

I don't have any egg flinching unit, I don't think 🥹

I have Tech Gyrados. But, at that point, I'm better off using Rain Dance

[graceful folio]

Tech sprigatito should be nice too, I went for lodge blue cuz lazy to go cheap haha

[heavy sinew]

done

4th try

@kind imp @hollow ether hi frends

I'm close to you

[ancient thunder]

Oof

Guess what the third passive is supposed to be

Do it

Guess

[graceful folio]

Hmmmmmm

Uhmmm

Clearly critical strike 24

Jk sadge

[ancient thunder]

Guess I have to actually pay attention to the egg events next time

Eff my life

[graceful folio]

[ancient thunder]

You know what
Striker Dragonite Headbutt

Will we do it, chat?

[graceful folio]

As long aggro 1 is there we believe

Rawr

[ancient thunder]

It isn't

But a flinch is a flinch

[graceful folio]

Dang going all in, brave

[ancient thunder]

30% is 30%

[feral plank]

I just got this, i can't believe i got 2 regions and unova isnt one of them, It was perfect for the Nate solo

[shy sinew]

how many do you all think is “enough” now that all my pairs comfortably have lucky skills? 5k? more?

[river cliff]

Like you have vigilance on everyone?

[chrome halo]

Man SS Elesa LLillie duo gauge is still good even without FT on either

[raven crane]

Oh that sounds like an easy duo.

[chrome halo]

It requires 2 or 3 Ridicure methinks?

And at least -1 def is allowed

Also thanks Trope for the OG Lillie team imma try it out after I'm done with the SS Erika duo

[raven crane]

Got the grids/skills?

[heavy sinew]

better than lodge elesa lodge lillie?

[river cliff]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=0&v1=010610047900&s1=5&l1=140&r1=6&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFBggKCw0ODxATFBobHA&v2=011800076400&s2=5&l2=140&r2=6&p2=0&a2=18046402&t2=44444&g2=AAECAwQFBggLDQ4PEB0gLi8

[river cliff]

You can run lodge Elesa with support Marowak

[graceful folio]

Lemme know how it goes, crossing fingers for ya

[raven crane]

As a duo?

That’s crazy.

[heavy sinew]

added your autos to the doc

[heavy sinew]

wait huh

thats crazy

i might try that\

[river cliff]

Courtesy of Quaggles

[heavy sinew]

ofc

[shy sinew]

not everyone, probably 70% though, I had to remove some vigilance for cases where I want 2 deluxe skills and something like cs2 but just about everyone who wants it has it (at 2.6k at the moment so I can get vigilance anywhere I need it, I don’t see myself stopping below 5k though)

[river cliff]

It took me about 3.5k cookies to put vigilance on every eggmon and sync pair I had, not including however many pairs already had it when we got the extra slots

3-4k should be pretty safe

[shy sinew]

I also need to do a lot of eggmons still, that’ll probably set me back a bunch (I just remembered this)

[feral plank]

I just threw away a 3 tm mpr selene run on bulu...

Yeah that's what i felt when the seed bomb was on terrain bc i needed 1 gauge more

[heavy sinew]

crit seed bomb at the end of bp barry run

[feral plank]

Happens..

[sturdy steeple]

evil

have (no) fun doing that 10 minutes all over again..

[karmic willow]

is lyra and erika still a good duo on latias?

@sturdy steeple how do you plan to use erika again tho

[sturdy steeple]

control f on my list

[karmic willow]

i didn't think you used her alreadyy

i'm so outdated

[sturdy steeple]

i was gonna duo with her with support fuecoco but i wasnt using ny wallace anywhere else and he didnt need to be ex'd so

[karmic willow]

no ny wallace pain

but

then again

[sturdy steeple]

she can be a tank for just any damage dealer

[karmic willow]

i did the tl dawn solo again today

[karmic willow]

yeah idk i have to check if i still have any of that left

[karmic willow]

also why support fuecoco with base lyra again

not enough crit?

[sturdy steeple]

just to max her crit lol

[karmic willow]

hmmm

imma think about that clear for a bit

[sturdy steeple]

i am not wasting time with 50% sync crits

[karmic willow]

because

idk i kinda like the flinch

[lost juniper]

On Bulu?

[karmic willow]

no on latias

[lost juniper]

Oh Latias can be tough if you're unlucky

[karmic willow]

i literally went from +8sp.def total to +3

jesus

but yeah i still won

[lost juniper]

Not for me but I wasted +10e for crit

[karmic willow]

YOOOOO

huge

[lost juniper]

Yeah it's about time honestly

[heavy sinew]

damn it i dont know how to finish

[lost juniper]

Also would be nice for Registeel if I ever see this mf again

[sturdy steeple]

the true difficulty of LG

[raven crane]

Good partner for a max investment Classic Elesa on Latias?

[lost juniper]

Solo

[sturdy steeple]

a def buffing egg should be fine

[lost juniper]

Elesa being able to buff crit with 4/5 is huge

Like how comes she needs 4/5 to do that

[sturdy steeple]

and yet she still has to suffer with 20% flinch gambling.,..

[lost juniper]

Yeah, but I do like her omnidebuffs

[karmic willow]

anything that can tank

literally

because i want to do classic elesa solo... until i remember how hard it is

doing it on terrakion was suffering enough

[raven crane]

No.

[lost juniper]

Yes

[raven crane]

Shut up.

Cutely.

[karmic willow]

now the real question is

can elaine carry flint on M O L T R E S S?

@sturdy steeple idk what i'm doing anymore lmfao

[sturdy steeple]

yeah she most defintiely can

[karmic willow]

yeah

maybe flint is a bit better than

L O D G E C A L E M

I wanna do Hilda but nah epic waste

[sturdy steeple]

very much a waste

isnt your elaine maxed

use literally anyone

[karmic willow]

I wish

No +10E

dammit flint

But yeah i won afterwards

[raven crane]

Yippee.

[sturdy steeple]

[raven crane]

[karmic willow]

Flint has a "nuke" so in terms of bad striker, he is the least terrible

[raven crane]

Hydrogen baby nuke.

[heavy sinew]

Mfw 2/5 classic Elesa can barely do squat

[dawn plume]

coughing bomb?

[karmic willow]

Sun abuser baybee

[raven crane]

Coughing firecracker maybe.

[vital ibex]

Where can I throw 4/5 alt elio? Ik he can solo bulu from what I saw? But i feel like he'd be better purposed with someone kinda bad on moltres, just idk who

[quaint tartan]

I’m gonna try 3/5 Elio with 1/5 dc Nemona

later

[vital ibex]

On moltres? That seems sorta ambitious lol

Esp without flinches from 3/5 nemo

[karmic willow]

Alright

Anyone got

A team for uhhhh

Ss hilbert?

Aside from sleepmon

Because i am gonna do that lol

[vital ibex]

I think I saw ss hilbert and tech electrode iirc? But it needs 5/5 hilbert for cakewalk

On latias

[karmic willow]

@sturdy steeple speaking of not wanting to do 50% crit

D O U B L E D R A G O N

Eggmon can go dc2 for even more damage lmfao

[sturdy steeple]

yay

also @ everyone doing the cred lapras combo, red does not need +6E, but lapras does likely need 5* in order for you to be able to queue hail and blizzard turn 1

[karmic willow]

oh yeah

this is another approach

like i was too hasty in concluding that you need to nuke through the half bar

kobe proved me different lmfao

you can somehow survive the onslaught of half bar 2 with fire guard

[sturdy steeple]

onslaught aka 2 moves

[karmic willow]

hey it's a full fire blast under sun

XD

[heavy sinew]

This duo had me mashing to queue b ice beam

I couldn't get the timing

[sturdy steeple]

this was first try for me with like 1 missed ice beam queue

i didnt use snow shelter as well which helped with queuing i believe

[heavy sinew]

mmm that's probably the reason

I used snow shelter and it sucked throughout my attempts

At least that's over with

[sturdy steeple]

we take it either way

[graceful folio]

[heavy sinew]

Praying I get this BP Barry clear done

It's been 2 hours resetting to no avail

[graceful folio]

It took me a while too for BP Barry

Was very close to drop it

[karmic willow]

But yeah i do wanna see more people do the double dragon shinnenigan

Probably his best duo right after sycamore

Then again

I am a sucker for barry (base) and brendan

That duo carried me through tornadus time and time again when brendan's move level isn't as high

[graceful folio]

Me too, those two with hau are my favs

[dawn plume]

bp barry solo is a lil annoying

gotta get the right strat

[river cliff]

Pretty sure support Wigglytuff can do it

[dawn plume]

enter bar 3 with a sync ready is my best advice

[graceful folio]

Learnt the hard way in Bulu this time around ngl

[karmic willow]

Already used sadge

[graceful folio]

Tornadus I kinda forgot already what to do ngl but it took a while too

[karmic willow]

I did wigglytuff and SS May

It was

N O T F U N

[dawn plume]

his tornadus solo is easier ironically

[karmic willow]

Relying on flinces and shiet

[river cliff]

Support Venomoth might work at 5/5. It definitely didn't cut it with my 3/5 Hilbert

[graceful folio]

I felt the same in a way

[karmic willow]

No venomoth sub sadge

I kinda

Threw it away a while ago

[river cliff]

Y tho

[karmic willow]

I was um

Stupid

I kinda believed that status conditions will always be relevant

Some mons only have one role

And stuff like that

Instant regret last season

And this season too probably

So i am missing support onix

[river cliff]

I'm still waiting for a trio where sleep is bad so that I can finally bring out my 5* support Exeggutor, Butterfree, and Vileplume

[karmic willow]

And support venomoth

[karmic willow]

Which one though

Also

You forgot

[river cliff]

Cobalion, Torn, Moltres I guess?

[karmic willow]

Support venusaur

[karmic willow]

Cobalion loses to sleep

[river cliff]

I suppose, but no carrying stuff like Korrina there

[dawn plume]

they put cobalion and tornadus in the same gauntlet i aint doing it

[river cliff]

O yeah my support Venusaur is also 5* lol

And Victreebel

[karmic willow]

You wanna know

Which one is

The worst support?

I would argue sup meowth

Tech has attack debuff which is a lifesaver for so many comps

Even in a trio

Strike has body slam for torn

And we all know how that goes

[river cliff]

I'd say it's tied with Arcanine and Rapidash

X speed is better than x attack

[karmic willow]

Yeah trueee

Arcanite at least got that

10% flinch going for him on tech

A fine choice for leon bulu duo

He is useful trust

I should give him sp3 at this rate

Only comes out to kill azelf

And this too

This guy though

Would rather duo with rei on registeel

[wicked tusk]

#eggmon hate

[dawn plume]

i HATE egg machop

[sharp lichen]

Wdym best meat shield

[river cliff]

I think pretty much every strike eggmon that doesn't have any utility wants sp3

[heavy sinew]

Was doing acerola Naomi and I forgot how frail Naomi is

Eats 80% from a heat wave

[dawn plume]

lmao yeah

i was trying that and it was rarely getting to bar 2

some duos not worth my energy

[heavy sinew]

It sucks

generational run and acerola misses the flinch

Hp gone

[dawn plume]

imma add uhhhh

scorbunny

potions and tops off naomis sp atk

good enough

still an mpr simulator

[sturdy steeple]

20/20 her

[shy sinew]

that’s a very naomi thing of you to say

[vital ibex]

I did not think that would work

[sturdy steeple]

[vital ibex]

Nemona just shreds bar 3

You ideally want 2+ elio tm refreshes or a circle refresh

[heavy sinew]

ofc you would say that

[vital ibex]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=028900074500&s0=1&l0=150&r0=6&p0=0&a0=17010201&t0=11111&g0=AAECAwQFBgcICQ8QERITFBobHB0lJico&v1=012201080500&s1=4&l1=150&r1=6&p1=0&a1=17010201&t1=11111&x1=true&g1=AAECAwQFCh0eHyAiJSgq&v2=0

Could take the hp +20 path but I had him +8e

[heavy sinew]

which means i would have to 20/20 all of the free pairs like her

[dawn plume]

i will die before i 20/20 petey

[heavy sinew]

he is the exception

[sturdy steeple]

he is the worst guy of all time forget about him

[raven crane]

Hush.

[sturdy steeple]

[raven crane]

I wish thy the same fate as this Tapu Bulu.

[sturdy steeple]

what the bruh

[heavy sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/dokibird-huh-rejected-live-gif-3859302371757875364

[raven crane]

[feral plank]

Well that was easy

First try i did with +40 speed from skill gear and done

If only all moltres clears were as easy as this one

[ancient thunder]

Finally free from job training

Time to do something that takes real skill

[feral plank]

Moltres??

Well that takes luck more than skill

[ancient thunder]

Tapu Bulu solo
Yeah

[feral plank]

Which ones?

[ancient thunder]

I left off attempting Morty

It's not bad by any means. I just don't proc Ridicure as much as I'd like

[quaint tartan]

My tactics is pairing the new 1/5 field dc unit with other units that have limited setup for the same zone

Grusha and gladion
Elio and Nemona

Marnie and a punch in the face

[dawn plume]

it costs the entirety of my phone's battery life to do 1 moltres clear

this shit is so stupid

[heavy sinew]

got to bar 3 at the cost of being at 20% with naomi

i forgot how the sequence goes in bar transitions

bruhg

now i cant gt tm mpr on naomi how fun

[ancient thunder]

I know now that Moltres doesn't have One with the Sun, but I always thought it did. It just makes sense for it to have it

[dawn plume]

moltres would not be streakable if it had that

[ancient thunder]

Oh, I know

Like I said, I just thought it made sense for it to have it. I'm glad it doesn't have it, lol

[graceful folio]

Be prepared for wally tho remember bud

Dragon is waiting for us

[quaint tartan]

I have been elaborating a drake / Dc Wally duo on latias

I don’t know what move level Wally needs for that tbh

I can just steal dc Wally/Nita duo

[dawn plume]

lmfao 90% of my battery life later and i still haven’t gotten close on this

not a single run where acerola has survived to bar 3

this is ridiculous

how are people making a DUO out of this

[heavy sinew]

i remember doing the duo before idk how its gotten harder to do

i cant get sandstorm mpr, i cant get naomi tm mpr, i cant flinch

its just not happening

[dawn plume]

thats about where i'm at

[ancient thunder]

Nevermind that
There's a solo

[heavy sinew]

and im not doing it

?

[dawn plume]

continously trying this to the point where my phone depletes all of its battery is just not sane

i really should just stop

[ancient thunder]

That's what I do

I just move on

Some runs just aren't worth your sanity

[sturdy steeple]

what are your lucky skills for em cause it honestly shouldnt be too hard ..

[heavy sinew]

same thing as yours

[dawn plume]

ace has fast track naomi has ww3

[sturdy steeple]

naomi stoic or even fire guard is much safer

[heavy sinew]

i was running mg2 on naomi until i switched to stoic

[sturdy steeple]

ace flameproof is epic

[karmic willow]

The naomi propaganda

[sturdy steeple]

gauge should be totally okay

[dawn plume]

i havent had any issues with naomi surviving cuz im using a potion egg

acerola is the issue

and not getting mprs

or not getting a flinch on bar 2 2nd half

[sturdy steeple]

oh well

that makes sense

[karmic willow]

One tip

Always flinch the first hit. That leer is evil

[dawn plume]

yeah i do that

i might try flameproof

[sturdy steeple]

(i didnt in my run i just fished for mprs lol)

[heavy sinew]

no sandstorm is killing em

me

[karmic willow]

Nah upgrade it to status immunity

[sturdy steeple]

(but thats where stoic helps)

[karmic willow]

Super epic

One day i will replace every flameproof to that

[heavy sinew]

finally

a run with mprs

i wonder how bad it will get

[dawn plume]

heat wave burn

[ancient thunder]

We love random Burn

[karmic willow]

Yay

[heavy sinew]

missed a tm on sandstorm

on bar 2

how fucking fun

crit heat wave

misses naomi but crits acerola

[worthy horizon]

i duoed acerola with support marowak, seems easier tbh

ingo covers naomi better

[heavy sinew]

did ingo solo so eh

[dawn plume]

my ingo 2/5

so

[heavy sinew]

brooooo

i cant

why cant i get another sandstorm

40% its not that hard

[vital ibex]

Who did you do grusha and gladion on? Latias?

Idk why I turned off the tag lol

@quaint tartan

[quaint tartan]

Yes

[vital ibex]

Bet i'm stealing that lol

[karmic willow]

@thick dawn did the elio and roark duo

Epic

though, mostly +5 so i don't have to whale another 40k orb

phew

[heavy sinew]

I GOT IT

FUCK LETS GOOOOOOOO

[quaint tartan]

You are welcome! I exed gladion for that but I was also lazy to reroll some lucky skills lol

[vital ibex]

Actually was gladion grusha any overkill for you? For me they did not drop below 80% hp like once

Lowkey I feel like it could be a moltres team since grusha has flinch

[quaint tartan]

Is that 1/5 Nemona?

[vital ibex]

Yea

4/5 elio

[quaint tartan]

Why my Nemona isn’t nemoning good

[vital ibex]

Idt rock zone extension is needed though

[quaint tartan]

She dies at half bar 2

[vital ibex]

You gotta get elio tm refreshes

When she drops to like 60% use his tm

Since she is frail

I also had pretty good skill gear

Flameproof on both

[quaint tartan]

Or I gotta wait 1 week to get her to 2/5, use lithic healing and chill

[vital ibex]

Lmao yea that'll probably make it less of a headache

[vital ibex]

But yea this

[quaint tartan]

Mmh I have had troubles in doing with non ex gladion tbh

[vital ibex]

Ohh that could be why, mine was ex

[quaint tartan]

Mainly bc I was running out of healing

[vital ibex]

What move level is your grusha

Cuz mine is 4/5 lol

[quaint tartan]

So I exed him and the run was smooth. True grusha has flinch but 1/5 is not doing that much either flinch

[vital ibex]

Ohh thats why

[quaint tartan]

Oh mine is 1/5

[vital ibex]

Lmaoo yea i'm gonna try and make it cheaper then

I'll throw him to moltres with like bp candice or something

[quaint tartan]

Yeah with 4/5 it may be overkill but if you have time to try anything else go ahead

[heavy sinew]

oak liza done

i thought liza would die after -3 def eq but she didnt

absolute trooper

[karmic willow]

@sturdy steeple i see you have given up on the nate solo this time lol

[heavy sinew]

yea whats up with that

[dawn plume]

DIE

worst clear i’ve done so far

and its a trio that can be duo (can be a SOLO technically)

[raven crane]

Grats.

[heavy sinew]

aint nobody doing the solo

[dawn plume]

i used both potions on naomi and it was still that close

no way the duo was happening

[heavy sinew]

forgot about this

oh boy

[dawn plume]

i did that

it wasnt nearly as bad as this was

[raven crane]

Naomi always the weak link.

[sturdy steeple]

he pissed me off ...

[heavy sinew]

real

[sturdy steeple]

its quite shrimple especially now with better gears

just make sure to get a flinch on the bar 2 heat wave in order to set up restrain

[vital ibex]

nao do you think your n and lenora duo is possible with 1/5 non ex lenora

[dawn plume]

nessas nuke can take out bar 2 even if only like -3 def with relentless

[vital ibex]

i have +10e N if it matters

[sturdy steeple]

def not it needed lenora's healing

just use bp clemont with N instead

[dawn plume]

oh yeah i got 2/5 lenora when pulling for arven

[vital ibex]

[dawn plume]

i can do that

[heavy sinew]

2 nat crits from bulu

[vital ibex]

heard, ty

[heavy sinew]

i think we all know where this is going

if you guessed rafa at the end of my run you are correct

[sturdy steeple]

of course

[raven crane]

Damn it I guessed B.

[karmic willow]

nothing

i mean

[heavy sinew]

this happened not once, but twice

[karmic willow]

i'd never even touch Nate in the first place

[heavy sinew]

caitlin is weird

[karmic willow]

always

[karmic willow]

wow

truly N simp

in which case bp clemont is best bet

people doing tate but nah imma save tate for moltress

[vital ibex]

i have several favs at +10e

raihan + anni raihan, ss grimsley, nc nate

[worthy horizon]

i learned nate bc i was never gonna feel prepared for moltres but at least i could feel prepared for that

[hollow ether]

Hi xd

[karmic willow]

SS GRIMS?

[worthy horizon]

and then i did morty falkner and nita

[vital ibex]

yea lol

praying on that grid expansion

[karmic willow]

[vital ibex]

[dawn plume]

it'll come surely

gotta give first aid 4 to every year 1 support first

[rocky oasis]

they need it at least

idk what to do w/ 1/5 irida

shes kinda mediocre here

[dawn plume]

in a past gauntlet i used her to debuff speed for barry to nuke bar 2

[karmic willow]

okay so

real talk

who is a cheap duo for ss hilbert?

except for support venomoth

[river cliff]

Cheren works too if you want to go cheaper

[vital ibex]

ooh i'll give that a shot

what grid and ls?

[river cliff]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=0&v1=001400050800&s1=4&l1=140&r1=6&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFBggLDhMWGSYpKyw&v2=008900064400&s2=4&l2=140&r2=6&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=44444&g2=AAECAwQFBgkKDRAnKi0vMzQ

[vital ibex]

ty kindly

[river cliff]

Though you can grab berserker and drop the mp refresh on N with the extra energy and move level

[karmic willow]

yeah nvm

gonna do sleepmon like planned

"not like it matters"

[river cliff]

I bet that any eggmon with +2 sp def would work

[karmic willow]

nah

the problem is

they die too fast

i am trying tech venomoth

he does not live through bar 1

[river cliff]

He kills fast

[karmic willow]

ss hilbert?

nah

on first sync full nuke barely punched through 50%

this is max investment hilbert we're talking about btw

[river cliff]

I had support venomoth live to bar 2.5 with 3/5 Hilbert

Only +2 sp def

[karmic willow]

dammit you know what

i'll try again

[river cliff]

Bug daunt good

[karmic willow]

dammit i hate slipperly slope

[vital ibex]

And you got this to work on latias? I can't even get past bar 1 💀

[karmic willow]

urgh you know what

acuity

i cannot take another miss

[rocky oasis]

i hate the bird

why tf does moltres have so much hp

[karmic willow]

i hate latias

why tf does it have so much debuffs

[rocky oasis]

roxie aint cutting it

even w/ a sleep chain team

[river cliff]

Yeah the gradual healing helped keep them alive and Cheren sync + N sync gets you through bar 1 pretty quickly

[vital ibex]

Mm ok

I'll keep trying cuz I keep falling short on gauge

[karmic willow]

stupid slipperly slop

[vital ibex]

Do you sync with N or cheren first? I've been doing N

[river cliff]

Cheren

[vital ibex]

Ohh ok

[karmic willow]

yeah no lol butterfree time

i cannot fathom

how you get through bar 2

limited speed and all that

[river cliff]

Not getting slippery sloped helps a lot

[karmic willow]

bar 3 how do you get a nuke ready

[river cliff]

Metal sound charging infliction to get to sync

[karmic willow]

look imma needa

a demo on that

[river cliff]

When I was trying it pre gauntlet I made it to bar 3 with endurance intact and missed the metal sound instaqeue. Twas sad

[karmic willow]

first bug daunt and

how?

i can't understand how you get through bar 2 though like

[river cliff]

I was using Wigglytuff on at that point

[karmic willow]

it's magic for me

[river cliff]

Disarming voice helps a lot

I'll probably try it for realsies soon

[graceful folio]

After a good hour of trying got may hapu done without too much investment, forward we go

[rocky oasis]

i couldnt get it to work

[karmic willow]

48k nuke

i don't care what anyone says i'm taking this clear

pinpoint entry 2 to guarantee tackle hits

yes

pinpoint entry 2 > Troublemaker 1

specifically because of this bastard

even with charging this

and fast track 2 that

gauge is a problem

[worthy horizon]

speaking of gauge i haven't seen any successful documented ghetsis clears

def surprised ghetsis eggmon was even considered to be a possibility in the first place

rion's was +4e but still

[karmic willow]

ghetsis gardenia

if you REALLY want to cook

gardenia has the ability to flip her reduced stats to normal

so she shuts down latias for some time

found on leaderboards

of course, my gardenia is too busy with bulu so, no thanks to that

[vital ibex]

Ok i've been trying this for like 20 minutes and still cant get it lol. Is crunch really better to use over facade for cheren?

Like i'm not even getting past bar 1

[river cliff]

The defense drops were helpful but I could see the facade route potentially being better

You do want at least 1 mpr on cheren's trainer move though

More for the healing and defense than anything

[karmic willow]

to be honest

just do bp clemont and get it over with

you get

much better gauge

much better defenses

[river cliff]

That is true

[vital ibex]

I'll give cheren a few more tries

[karmic willow]

much more reliable stat drops (because this thing gains so damn much)

like

[vital ibex]

Just since idk where else I would use him

[karmic willow]

if you were to do nothing

you would need to debuff it

[river cliff]

Well the stat drops hardly matter cuz piercing blows

[karmic willow]

12 times

[worthy horizon]

yeah i tested multiple partners for bp clemont

n works best

out of electric options

[karmic willow]

save tate for moltress

propaganda

[worthy horizon]

seems expensive but you can't get away with cheaper in my experience (for latias purposes ofc)

[river cliff]

Well Cheren

But yeah BP Clemont is a very good N option

I've though about Tate on Moltres but idk who I'd pair him with since 40% flinch kind of blows

[vital ibex]

Ok yea cheren immediately died from getting to bar 2

Clemont it is

[worthy horizon]

ghetsis cheren was supposed to be "overkill" but uh

[vital ibex]

Yeah did that in one try lol

Cheren can be someone elses problen

[vital ibex]

Gauge where

[worthy horizon]

yea

kinda need fast track on ghetsis

but everything struggles to survive too

[dawn plume]

just had a run where i definitely should have lost but for some reason latias opened bar 2 with calm mind instead of dragon pulse?

then i was able to heal back up and ended up winning

not sure why that happened

[vital ibex]

i've seen that happen sometimes too

dunno what the circumstances are tho

[worthy horizon]

it skips dragon pulse if interrupted is what the solo doc info says

[dawn plume]

yea i know that it but didnt get interrupted

it just didnt use it for some reason

i was doing lodge volkner and cheryl

[worthy horizon]

maybe full para and you didn't notice it

[dawn plume]

hmm

i mean i won't complain anyways

[worthy horizon]

would be especially easy to miss bc of how rare and fast it is

[vital ibex]

So what should I do with 1/5 nc silver

Tech kabutops maybe?

[karmic willow]

If only it was this easy every time

[dawn plume]

volo and gimble

[worthy horizon]

nice

[karmic willow]

Gamble

I call it volo and gambling

35k wooo

[dawn plume]

i gotta use base volo still

2/5 exr

who can help him i wonder

[river cliff]

I stuck mine with my 1/5 anni Lillie

[dawn plume]

hmm i have her still

feels like wasting his debuffs tho

[river cliff]

I used moonblast lol

[karmic willow]

80 clears done

A huge comeback from 0

But yeah

Would have gotten 150 by today if it wasn't for bp janine accident

[pearl beacon]

Did you reset?

[karmic willow]

Yes

Bp janine died bar 1

And i didn't press battle again

At least resetting gave me a chance to edit a few clears

While mostly keeping everything else lol

I am blitzing through most clears

Again

While trying out some new stuff

[river cliff]

Anyone found a good team for Viola?

[karmic willow]

Correction : 83

[lost juniper]

How you got 83 in a day

[karmic willow]

2 days

Actually

[lost juniper]

Still

[karmic willow]

First day got 60

Well basically

Easy clears

Good luck

And stuff

Still

[lost juniper]

Guess that makes sense. I always start with solos first

[karmic willow]

I have not done stupid solos like

Ss ethan vs bulu
Ingo + ss kris vs moltress

And volo solo latias

[heavy sinew]

You did 80 clears in 48 hours

[karmic willow]

Those 4 are the biggest ugh moment for me

[heavy sinew]

That's dedication

[karmic willow]

Yeah lol idk

I am quite fast? (Idk)

Most of the time

Is spent on team planning and stuff

But nah imma let people cook and steal teams and actually do them quickly

Some clears are still pain for me like

V elio solo latias

I did not get that clear in the original run

And i am done with v kris solo bulu

84

[pearl beacon]

That's some speedrun

[karmic willow]

If only every clear was this easy

I would have been done with gauntlet by now

Or this

Low variance

High damage

86th

And wow i am gonna be out of bulu clears soon again

[raven crane]

Showed them.

[lost juniper]

EX R SS Lyra is one of the few easy ones lol

[heavy sinew]

It really is

[raven crane]

Of course you guys hone in on that.

[karmic willow]

Why is ingo a goat

[raven crane]

[karmic willow]

There you happy?

[raven crane]

Shut up.

[karmic willow]

I sense a disturbance

As if a burn is coming your way

[raven crane]

Not more then the ones you've suffered.

[karmic willow]

I haven't suffered

A single burn ever since i did my reset

[raven crane]

Here's to hoping.

[karmic willow]

Which is insane

Then again most of them had status immunity

The better flameproof

The goat

[raven crane]

The rich kid Flameproof.

[karmic willow]

The only one that matters

[river cliff]

I might be more tempted to roll for it if we ever get a Raikou gauntlet

Or get more ls slots

[dawn plume]

i will never ever run out of crispy cookies

no point in not just rerolling it

[worthy horizon]

yea it's just the slight time consumption

but then you have all the freedom to overwrite it afterward

flameproof better tbh

[dawn plume]

i have interference immunity on ss morty bc i hate tornadus

[worthy horizon]

interference immunity is good i have it on bp clemont also for tornadus

helped for auto consistency

[lost juniper]

I used interference immunity on Spring Burgh when I did the Regirock solo

The rock could do nothing but watch itself slowly dying

[dawn plume]

regi the rock

[pearl beacon]

Lmao

Arceus messed while sending him back in time

[river cliff]

Hmm

[dawn plume]

Uh-oh! Oh no!

[river cliff]

I felt it

[pliant glen]

That's enough for tonight

[raven crane]

Don't think you would've won anyway, no?

[pliant glen]

Nah

[raven crane]

Best of luck on your next attempts.

Whenever that may be.

[dawn plume]

how does this anni n starmie duo work

n just gets slaughtered by the dragon moves on bar 2 for me

[worthy horizon]

starmie tanks and shouldn't die before bar 3 i think?

noble roar 4 times before setting up buffs with anni n which should help time blue flares to kill when alakzam/flygon are about to move

[heavy sinew]

yep

that's the gist of it

starmie also has HH

[dawn plume]

zen headbutt flinched 3 times in a row lol cool

i do have hh on starmie

i might need a video this sounds super specific

[worthy horizon]

not starmie but next closest thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8sT7TuDrP8

4*

[dawn plume]

okok i see what i was doing wrong

i got it ty

[heavy sinew]

Lodge Raihan Gordie sounds overkill and I feel like it is

Somewhat

[dawn plume]

it was fine

[heavy sinew]

1/5 alt Selene needs some good help despite melting Moltres

[dawn plume]

i got rafad my first attempt on it

on the max move

[heavy sinew]

Same

[dawn plume]

cuz moltres puts up that damn physical shield for NO REASON

[strong elk]

100+ resets later 😎

[heavy sinew]

Oh wait it wasn't a rafa

[dawn plume]

100 gah damn

[heavy sinew]

I think I just low rolled

[strong elk]

Yeahh it took like 80 last night, and 30ish tn

[dawn plume]

first time around i stalled for like 4 sync buffs and guaranteed +6 speed -6 speed for gordie max nuke and the bar 2 sync did like 110 k lmao

didnt need to go THAT hard

i did that duo too it didnt take me nearly as long

[strong elk]

I was just getting very unlucky on last bar

Kept not flinching on a heat wave

[heavy sinew]

-5 speed on bird and +4 speed on Gordie, with -4 def added = 60k with 3 sync buffs

[dawn plume]

yeah thats much is plenty

gordies nuke is a little silly

[strong elk]

Gordie with who?

And what move level

[dawn plume]

which reminds me... single target rock weak damage challenge tomorrow lol

gordie and lodge raihan

set up on bar 1, then gordie syncs bar 2 and max moves bar 3 for two one-shots

[strong elk]

Hmm maybe I have em

[heavy sinew]

Oh shit I forgot to do DC today

[dawn plume]

i think raihan needs dc2 for the max move to one-shot bar 3

but like -2 or -3 def should be enough

raihan will want ex too

[strong elk]

What’s DC2?

[dawn plume]

defense crush 2

[strong elk]

Ah

That’s from a deluxe cookie right

[dawn plume]

nah you can get those from 2* crunchy

which are weirdly rare actually

[strong elk]

I gotta see if I have em

What move level for gordie

[dawn plume]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=025400083900&s0=3&l0=150&r0=6&p0=0&a0=13010602&t0=1111&g0=AAECAwQFCAkKFRgjJScqLC4v&v1=025700052600&s1=3&l1=145&r1=6&p1=0&a1=18040702&t1=11111&g1=AAECAwQFExYZGhsdICIjJCUm&v2=0

its here

gordie should be 5/5

[strong elk]

Aight I don’t have lodge raihan. Can I just put any flinch person in?

Ah nvm they only 3/5 too

[dawn plume]

no it has to be lodge raihan

he sets sand on entry

and you can't debuff moltres under sun

[strong elk]

So gordie only works with 5/5 and lodge raihan

[dawn plume]

3/5 ex and a weather setter

he needs to debuff speed to nuke

[rocky oasis]

lodge raihan + anni n clears moltres

[strong elk]

Alright alright I’ll look for a weather setter

So u don’t do flinches?

[dawn plume]

he shouldnt need them

he one shots bars 2 and 3

[strong elk]

Cool I’ll try finding a pair for him

Also since I only have 3/5 gordie, what are best tiles

Since I can’t get all 5/5

Nvm

U sent the 3/5

[tiny hedge]

https://clips.twitch.tv/CreativeTransparentCougarCoolStoryBro-GNKehJWXJWsKjCxt

[lost juniper]

Zin is still active? Didn't see him post for a while now

[dawn plume]

its ok 🙂

[tiny hedge]

He's streaming rn

also for context

[dawn plume]

i opened the stream and he got the clear

i am taking credit for this

[strong elk]

So Lemmay, bar 1 u just set up and then sync with gordie?

Then sync bar 2? And max move bar 3?

[dawn plume]

gordie shouldnt sync until bar 2

you'll need a few sync cycles to set up

[strong elk]

Ahh alright

How do the pairs not die

[lost juniper]

They tank pretty well

Moltres has mostly physical moves and they can buff physical defense

You also want Gordie EX

[strong elk]

Idk mine keep dying before I get past 70 hp for Moltres

I’m using Acerola as duo

[chrome halo]

i see the problem

Acerola is too frail and slow

and no healing for Gordie

you don't have Lodge Raihan?

[lost juniper]

Yeah Lodge Raihan is a lot better for him. Syncro Healing and Regen too

[heavy sinew]

The cutoff is sending me

Any 2/5 SS n duos

[strong elk]

Nahh I never got lodge raihan. I guess I’ll get em next

Who’s a good replacement for lodge raihan

[lost juniper]

Idk if Dewgong works for Latias but it's a good start

[heavy sinew]

Tank dewgong?

[dawn plume]

that wont be enough for a duo

if starmie/porygon can barely clear with 3/5

[lost juniper]

SS N though

Not Anni N

Aka Kyurem

[dawn plume]

i cant read

[worthy horizon]

it's not enough for 1/5 for sure lol

[heavy sinew]

Not enough for 2/5 either

Rip

Or maybe it's cause my dewgong is 4*

I don't feel like making it 5*

[strong elk]

I assume here since Sophocles has flameproof, they will be the target

[heavy sinew]

Ash is the target iirc

Cause of that TM

[strong elk]

Gotchu

[dawn plume]

i did sophocles target

[worthy horizon]

nah you just want flameproof everything so having it on doesn't mean anything

[dawn plume]

either works

[strong elk]

Ahh they had critical strike 2 for ash

[worthy horizon]

heat wave and air cutter always burn everything

[strong elk]

I’ll do flameproof for both then

[dawn plume]

ash is b thunderbolting bar 2 anyways

so
