Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)

[bitter gate]

and all I had to use was egg lickitung, lol

[gleaming cypress]

how did you get through without stat drops

[bitter gate]

Larry has Piercing Blows

lol

[gleaming cypress]

💀

[bitter gate]

he just doesn't give a shit

lol

[gleaming cypress]

too based

[bitter gate]

I have a 1/5 EX Selene

as in scizor selene

How do I moltres with her

[gleaming cypress]

gonna throw something cheap with ss diantha for moltres brb

(1/5)

[chrome halo]

Yes methinks

[feral plank]

You could, if you don't miss crit obviously, like i just did twice in a row...

All that time for that

Twice

Add one more to the count

[bitter gate]

1/5 selene doesn't have the damage

To work through the zone

Got a little help lol

[feral plank]

I had the run almost done just sync bar 2 and sparkling but Guess what, flare Blitz Burn....

Again...

[heavy sinew]

Oh wow

I used pal Marnie

[bitter gate]

i was gonna use pal marnie for either bulu or latias

now I'm not so sure

my ratio looks cooked

163/284

[strong elk]

I’m still doing solgaleo and registeel vs latias. Who is a pair I can throw in to help solgaleo’s health?

I dont want to put in a pair that’s really good for other stages/needed

More so an extra potion user

[tight rivet]

support kanghaskan?

[strong elk]

Yeah I could try that

I was thinking maybe them or Brock onix

Actually I have shiny striker kanghaskan so I don’t wanna get rid of em lol

Stupid that u can’t have a shiny and normal eggmon on roster

Wait they just go back to daycare??

I never knew that

[bitter gate]

165

15 left and I can just

relax

[strong elk]

Kanghaskan worked beautifully thanks

[pearl beacon]

gonna do that

[feral plank]

This shouldnt have taken this long...

[karmic willow]

lillie debuffs mostly bar 2

[heavy sinew]

Finally Steven potionchu done

time to catch up to everyone because AAHHHHH

Doesn't help that I'm still recording everything

[dawn plume]

i started my 8-4 new job last week im cooked

[strong elk]

I can find solos and duo clears easily. But I’m struggling to find 3 pair clears in the documents

[heavy sinew]

Any 5/5 N duos

[lost juniper]

Lenora

[heavy sinew]

1/5 + used

I saw Naomi's doc and thought the same but 1/5 sucks

[sturdy steeple]

bpclemont is good

[strong elk]

Anyone able to send a link

[heavy sinew]

Might try it

[lost juniper]

Look at the repository

[strong elk]

yeah i did, still struggling to find it

i see u and othewrs who have posted duos and solos

Where am I searching when I’m here

Normally I just went to “todo” and would look at ur clears

Ik it says in yellow cells, but it’s being weird for me

[raven crane]

More annoying then it should have been.

[dawn plume]

your espeon survived the whole fight?

mine drops bar 1 lol

[raven crane]

I got lucky as fuck with Confusion procs.

Plus Skill Gear and 5-Star.

[chrome halo]

Replace Marnie (Palentine's) tile with the pair you want to search for

[dawn plume]

bar 1 moltres has hostile environment im convinced

way too many 10% burns

[tight rivet]

lucian duo with a flinch egg on latias is usually whats being played here right

[dawn plume]

thats what i did

i used tech perrserker cuz its slow and fire weak so its not going near moltres

and lucian buffs its speed

[raven crane]

Not me planning Wikstrom vs. Moltres.

[tight rivet]

so dc2 flincher and cs2 lucian just growl spam until shit dies right?

or do you sync sides before latias

[dawn plume]

they both need vigilance

[tight rivet]

oh for bar 3?

[dawn plume]

yeah

eq too deadly

take out alakazam fast and keep latias flinching it should be ok

flygon isnt TOO threatening if you keep its atk down

[tight rivet]

oh right alakazam is the issue

viledoom 2.0

[dawn plume]

how does this happen twice in one gauntlet

[chrome halo]

only twice so far? rookie number

[tight rivet]

try getting crit flinched by bulu three times

[graceful folio]

Love you SC Diantha ❤️

[strong elk]

what move level is SC diantha there

[graceful folio]

3/5

[strong elk]

and would u mind sending the grid u used + lucky skill?

[graceful folio]

yes brb

[strong elk]

appreciate it

[graceful folio]

No idea if it’s optimal or stuff can be taken instead of other but I run this and Ls is vigilance

[tight rivet]

so how awful is the 3/5 ss diantha solo

on tres

[strong elk]

appreciate you

[graceful folio]

Yw bud

[strong elk]

i wonder if you could do a 1/5 solo with her

[graceful folio]

depends where is the staggering node tbh

[raven crane]

Me: "Yes, finally, got the right queues and May has enough health for some leg room, now just to not miss on the 2nd ba-"

Mud Slap.

[graceful folio]

cuz that helps a lot

[raven crane]

[raven crane]

Nope.

[strong elk]

thats a shame

im tryna use may against moltres, but i dont have the resources to EX extra pairs or make others 5/5

[chrome halo]

If it's a trio it will be fine

Just reset for 1 rain mpr, one for each bar

And skip the half bar 2 and 3

[strong elk]

i saw like hapu, but the document had tyhem EX and 5/5

[chrome halo]

Don't replicate the duo

It's rng heavy

[tight rivet]

dont you need good rng for acc drops to set her nuke

and also so hapu doesnt just straight up die

[strong elk]

so may, a support like swanna, and then who could a third be?

[heavy sinew]

I didn't go for nuke build

but it can work, yes

[tight rivet]

well how would you skip the half bar

is it just strong enough with innate

[heavy sinew]

DPS

That's one way

[chrome halo]

Reset for more rain mpr

Hope that helps

[heavy sinew]

Cause if you nuke it without rain you barely reach 50%

It's a very annoying clear

[tight rivet]

so you quad rain after you sync to prevent burns?

[heavy sinew]

I queue rain after bar transition

Use 1 or 2 muddy waters

Sync

And pray Hapu lives

I went for fire guard instead of mg2

Increase her chances of living with some good skill gear

[strong elk]

Id may fine with CR2? Or do u want weathered warrior 3

[heavy sinew]

Cs2 is fine I think

[strong elk]

cool

[dawn plume]

if you don't have a lot of resources don't go for long streaks

this is endgame content

the documents with long streaks are meant for players with a lot of units

[tight rivet]

i could go to like 50

if i tried

[strong elk]

yeahh i have done only solos and duos so far lol, but i just do that to make it easier to do the rest with trios

[tight rivet]

but i hate rng

[strong elk]

i do have a ton of pairs

im just going for 12 streak, i remember i did it once with only f2p pairs, but cant find that video/guide

Can swanna and may duo Moltres?

[tight rivet]

probably

skyla offsets the debuffs moltres has in bar 1

and also tanks pretty well

also has staggering on gust if u wanna use that too

[strong elk]

Cool

I remember that duo could auto a stage

I forget which one

[tight rivet]

prob entei

[strong elk]

Ahh probably

[tight rivet]

cuz moltres is absolutely awful to auto

[strong elk]

I used them to get like 600 cookies

[tight rivet]

only like one or two confirmed autos

and i know one uses pal bea

[strong elk]

Yeah I’ll auto for bulu when my streak ends

[dawn plume]

WHY was this so hard

so many random burns and no flinches

took way longer than it had any right to

[strong elk]

Should I sync with swanna first, then the rest with may?

[strong elk]

Looks tough lol

[dawn plume]

some people made this a duo and i'm like hell no

supp onix was added

was still hard

[strong elk]

What would u suggest for against Moltres

And yeah I wouldnt duo that lol

[tight rivet]

id just try to farm on bar 1 then nuke past bar 2

[strong elk]

So far I set rain turn 1, spam swanna tm and may tm, then I go from there

Idk if I should put flameproof on swanna over vigilence

And wasnt sure if I should sync with swanna first to get the 2 sync boost

[heavy sinew]

2/5 lance kinda sucks

[vital ibex]

finally did the archie adaman moltres duo

non exr

[olive swift]

Also

At like 77 streaks and I'm surprised considering MOLTRES too hard

We have more units now I guess 😭

[river cliff]

I used Cheren

[dawn plume]

i have him 1/5 sigh

i slapped him w sc shauna on latias since my shauna is only 2/5 and i dont wanna do her solo and lance needs broken support

[heavy sinew]

I used classic gio with him on bulu now

sucks but it is what it is

[river cliff]

I can't for the life of me get lodge Skyla + Golem to work, I can't make it through bar 2

[heavy sinew]

Trying to get something to work with SS Cynthia for my 100th clear to no avail

[gleaming cypress]

there were significant and unexpected delays

[earnest plume]

hit the back button instead of restart battle 😭

[sturdy steeple]

https://youtu.be/brDg-pSjlVE
https://youtu.be/XdNvetQyd4w

it is done

[rocky oasis]

you might be able to go cheaper vs latias but im lazy

[heavy sinew]

Found a way

My duos and solos end here

Or do they

Couldn't beat my record of 100 before 10 more days

rip

[heavy sinew]

Felt that 100%

[rocky oasis]

https://youtu.be/0y_vZACQztI?si=-X3LBppigpMuxj3f

[karmic willow]

bp clemont

[heavy sinew]

Thats what Naomi said

[rocky oasis]

anyone else use this duo?

[heavy sinew]

I used torchic with someone else

Might swap torchic with something similar tho

[karmic willow]

How does

Selene solo even work?

Don't you just instantly die to fire blast even with gear?

[rocky oasis]

just flinch everything

unless you mean a different selene

[karmic willow]

Sc selene

Like

[sturdy steeple]

watch da videos

[karmic willow]

You have 0 time to sync or to re-set terrain

I will have arthritis

The amount of mashing 😭😭😭😭

[lost juniper]

That SC Selene solo looks disgusting

Like wow that looks rough af

Mine is only 1/5 so lol

[sick parcel]

How many resets did this take

[vital ibex]

too many

would not recommend

just throw in like any flinch eggmon and it'll make your life eaiser

[sick parcel]

Also did you get grids/skills from somewhere

I don't see duo on the sheet

[vital ibex]

si

got it from invert

[sick parcel]

I have EXR but I get the distinct impression it won't really help

[vital ibex]

https://youtu.be/0wyodyKCSrM?si=uPNZE8EtO4CxvnTQ

[sick parcel]

Archie sync damage feels kinda meh

[vital ibex]

it makes it a lot easier

[sick parcel]

Oh really?

[vital ibex]

ya

[sick parcel]

I make a point to EXR all my master fairs

[vital ibex]

stats help archie survive better

[sick parcel]

I didn't really do it because I thought Archie was great with it or anything lol

[vital ibex]

nope it's a tough duo

[karmic willow]

Wooo

[sick parcel]

Also thank you

[karmic willow]

Got enough tms for ingo

[vital ibex]

np

[karmic willow]

Time to finish the damn battle

[vital ibex]

skill gear helps too

mine had a total of like +100 sp atk and +100 hp

which can probably be ignored since exr

[sick parcel]

I overfocused my skill gear into Kanto and Champion units

Also I went all in on damage and have no DR except the ones from event special skill feathers

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1012311116778586182/1272495068447637605/IMG_2721.png

Don't think I have anything particularly great for Water units rn

[karmic willow]

Aaannd fuck this game

[sick parcel]

[karmic willow]

Confusion

On fucking sandstorm

The last one even

I quit

Like WHY THE FUCK DOES THE ONLY HURRICANE THAT HIT CONFUSES

[heavy sinew]

Any Olivia duos?

I don't have anabel

[karmic willow]

Must i get interference immunity just for this?

Fuck it you know what

Stupid game deserves it

Oh yeah

Ingo finally decided to snap after i got confused proc

Fuck this game

I hope you get trapped in hisui forever and leave your brother alone after this

Dumbass brother can't stop getting confused

Get your shit together this time

[feral plank]

Blame moltres first , everytime

[karmic willow]

Nah

I blame the developers

There we go

3 air slash flinches

Back to back

Thank god for the lucky skill

Hurricane auto confuse

Goddamn

Ah yes, flare blitz back to bakc

Both can burn

Thank god i saved the sync move

[sick parcel]

If it's any consolation I was one Muddy Water away from a Moltres solo clear with May

And then I missed despite accuracy nodes

And getting to that point took like 100+ resets that I gave up on the solo and threw in teammates

Granted most of the resets were just me fishing for the Rain Dance refresh at the very start

[river cliff]

I might try it if I can't get BP Surge + DC Gladion to work. Gladion isn't EXed though so I'm not sure how feasible either will be

[worthy horizon]

i swear using support marowak is easier than trying to keep any offensive teammate alive

i tried acerola olivia at some point and it didn't stick

[sturdy steeple]

It's easier bc marowak is better than units like naomi,,, unfortunately

Marowak can be utilized well in like 50 teams Naomi can only be used economically in a handful of teams

Dats why bad damage dealers are used with ace

[worthy horizon]

also ingo naomi makes so much more sense than acerola naomi

acerola naomi is everyone continually mashing their head into a brick wall

but there's a sandstorm unit that actually provides defensive utility and no one uses it

[karmic willow]

Mannnnnnn

Lodge iono

-4 sp.def !!!

I hate latias with a passion

[sturdy steeple]

ace naomi is honestly not that hard 😭

[karmic willow]

No iono ex

0 sp.def drops

Only underrated heal

Stoic 2

Sync wall + ground guard allows petey to live til the end

(he probably doesn't need THAT MUCH, but I am not taking any chances)

It dealt 444 damage

Respectable

[raven crane]

Can't wait to get Iono at the end of the month.

[karmic willow]

If your pulls are lucky enough that is

[raven crane]

It's guaranteed.

[karmic willow]

Oh yeah

Mix

Right

[raven crane]

Selects.

There's no way there isn't a Fair Select.

[karmic willow]

Huh?

Next month yeah

Not this gauntlet

[raven crane]

I didn't say this Gauntlet.

[rotund rain]

Lmao

I might get Iono too from a fair select, if it’s role based

[worthy horizon]

i've pulled off more difficult stuff by now yea but making those couple of swaps makes everything so much more free and gets support marowak utility on moltres

[thick dawn]

gotta say I am team acerola naomi was not that hard besides MPR fishing

but maybe I was under the mindset of "this isn't the acerola solo" lol

[worthy horizon]

i think that's a fair take

but a lot of people have been whining over it

[tender horizon]

Crazy

[heavy sinew]

it's not that hard unless you get causally burned by heat wave under sandstorm

[sturdy steeple]

i think if theres any ecomical egg partner to go with acerola if you really really didnt wanna use naomi, then a max atk buffer like nidoking would be cheaper than naomi. definitely not easier because support maro is like one of the best support eggs ever

[tender horizon]

What the fuck that Clair application

[sturdy steeple]

i think a lotta ppl are complaining about it bc a lotta ppl are attempting it because its 2 f2p units so its an accessible clear

[karmic willow]

Dude

Boshi did

Winona and

Egg rapidash

Winona carries hard

Just give her speed

[worthy horizon]

i think i wanted to use a max attack buffer but had none

[karmic willow]

Na
O
Mi

[heavy sinew]

I think bp Morty Olivia should work

pain

[karmic willow]

Bp morty olivia?

I mean

You do get enough speed

[tender horizon]

Sounds easy

[karmic willow]

Bar 2 is hell though

But

[tender horizon]

I thought Shauntal BP Morty was a thing too

[karmic willow]

Best of luck

[tender horizon]

So Olivia BP Morty is like cheese

[karmic willow]

Yes... Until you realize it is far too slow

[worthy horizon]

i'm more shaken by the duo vs regi and terrakion than moltres but bc of those i'm pretty sick of it

[karmic willow]

Like

[sturdy steeple]

now those are hard

[karmic willow]

Shauntal sc lillie work cuz

[worthy horizon]

but i get the nice theme

[karmic willow]

Posthaste

[karmic willow]

Alolan gal combo

[river cliff]

But then lodge Elesa loses out

[karmic willow]

Man

I hate caitlin solo

Like

"oh yeah no heals for you"

[river cliff]

Idk I thought it was marginally harder than Bianca

[karmic willow]

Why is every goddamn energy ball a crit

[sturdy steeple]

i imported all of my previous LG sheets into the big main one that im using now

so if you wanna see some cringe old teams its there ig

[karmic willow]

Neat

First try

[karmic willow]

Finally~

One link to rule them all

[sturdy steeple]

fr

[karmic willow]

Makes everything easier

I did it since last season so

Pretty nice to see that

Hopefully the other guys fo it too

[heavy sinew]

What could I pair with a 2/5 SS wally

Exr is good but like

He got nothing

[lost juniper]

Nice. Now it'll be so much easier to copy your teams

[heavy sinew]

Lg1 💀

[lost juniper]

I want to do it but it kinda conflicts with the style I did for LG14 to this one unless I basically copy some of the format Nao did

Gonna be easier for me to reference my past runs that way

[sturdy steeple]

Feel free to copy my format

During LG15 I just finally realized "wait I can just make new sheets on the same document I don't need to make a whole new one every time"

Wish I came to this elementary revelation like 3 years ago

[wicked tusk]

the only thing stopping SST Red from AUTO-SOLOing all the LGs is that the CPU uses max moves

that's crazy

[worthy horizon]

kinda needs some fundamental changes to auto moltres and terrakion since those don't work unless you thunder shock flinch

[wicked tusk]

it would auto moltres for sure

need to recheck terrakion gimmick

[worthy horizon]

cresselia needs a lot of flinches too

[river cliff]

Idk why I was so worried about lodge Blue + Maxie, that clear was super free

[sturdy steeple]

The only thing stopping autos is the mechanics behind auto itself

It's horrendous

[river cliff]

I legit don't understand the logic the auto system uses

[kind imp]

i made some autos and i still don't really understand

like ss lana would only use b-move instead of moonblast on terrak if it was at 2 smun iirc

so i think there's some if above X dmg prioritize it over buffing/debuffing

[worthy horizon]

yeah there's a bunch of cases where its actions actually make 0 logical sense

[kind imp]

and there's some dumb stuff like not using potion on a pair that's weak to a move in that bar

iirc i tried letting og leaf auto on uxie for a bit but she would not heal herself in bar 1 bc uxie uses power-up-punch once

[river cliff]

They also seem to change it randomly

I had a team that could one shot the first floor of villa for farming and then randomly bp falkner (who was only there to provide theme skills) started attacking instead of Ethan. Now it works the way it used to so IDK

Bulu's wood hammer at -6 accuracy should only have a 75% chance to hit, right?

[tight rivet]

yeah all bosses have enlightenment 5

[kind imp]

5 mitigation is the standard

but there's exceptions

latias and raikou have mind's eye 7

registeel is immune

[river cliff]

I've gotten hit by the thing 14 out of 15 times and of course missed my sync crit the one time it missed

[worthy horizon]

could be doing so many things less rng reliant but

needs like 4 mprs at least

3/5 mesprit

messed up there

psychic instead of stored power

[rocky oasis]

latias should be possible w/ exr 2/5 greta in theory

in practice... idk

[worthy horizon]

still nice to have options for 3/5 super bp units that aren't overkill

on paper this should be but it really isn't

[heavy sinew]

almost got 1/5 pal dawn 3/5 diantha to work

rip

its not enough

[sick parcel]

By the way

Out of curiosity

Just as a ballpark number

Normally around what rank would you get by going a 100 wins

[rocky oasis]

current leaderboards

[heavy sinew]

wtf me jumpscare

[sick parcel]

I assume it'll look different by the end

[chrome halo]

Probably within top 500 at the end

[sick parcel]

Hm alright

I was kind of curious how feasible Top 100 would be

Yeah I'm not going to bother

[chrome halo]

Btw objectively speaking, which tech is better for LG at 3/5: Anni Skyla or SS Hau?

[sick parcel]

I think Skyla has like

1 more solo

Over Hau

But I'm willing to bet most of her solos are down to Potion MPR fests

[heavy sinew]

funnily enough she doesnt rely on potions much

[sick parcel]

Really?

[heavy sinew]

staggering is where its at

[sick parcel]

Oh that

[heavy sinew]

staggering disarm true combo

[sturdy steeple]

skyla has more sauce

[sick parcel]

Wait

[heavy sinew]

real

[sick parcel]

Oh you're the person with the crazy streaks

[heavy sinew]

• she's better

[sick parcel]

You posted like 236 wins a few hours ago

Where do you get the time to do it

[sturdy steeple]

I don't know myself

[heavy sinew]

lmao

[worthy horizon]

experience and planning can save a ton of time

[sick parcel]

I feel like a lot of solos and duos are down to luck though

Especially if they rely on MPRs deep into a fight

Like if you run out of Rain Dance at Moltres' last two suns

Good luck

[sturdy steeple]

Some solos I opt not to do due to time reasons + I got units to spare to make it less hell

[sick parcel]

I tried the May solo and the sheer number of things that could go wrong was staggering

[sturdy steeple]

Gotta make may a not recc

[sturdy steeple]

But this is very true

[worthy horizon]

the heaviest soloers won't appear at the top until the final few days

[sick parcel]

The example provided in the pin had +10E May but I went with 0E

I know it's possible because I did actually get to 1 hit away from winning before missing

[worthy horizon]

mainly jp players

[sick parcel]

But yeah I probably made it harder for myself there

[sturdy steeple]

Add a second unit and move on if it's taking you all day

LG is a time management game as well

[sick parcel]

Yeah that's what I did in the end

[sturdy steeple]

[sick parcel]

I don't like to do it because I always tell myself I'll need that flincher or support later

But I was wasting too much time

That I caved

[heavy sinew]

0 planning is very silly

do not recommend

[sick parcel]

Most of my planning this time is just prioritizing and saving units for Moltres

Because that's the bottleneck fight that has less clears

[gleaming cypress]

my planning runs into problems when [x] unit needs [y] deluxe lucky skill

and i don't have efficient auto-teams this gauntlet

hate moltres

[sick parcel]

Yeah in this LG

It's like

Flameproof

And Defense Crush / Mind Games

That get used a lot

[sturdy steeple]

Thankfully now in time those issues will be alleviated due to skill slots

[sick parcel]

Thank god for skill slots

It's the only reason I'm even trying LG now

[gleaming cypress]

my egg a-persian had FT2 for absolutely no reason at all

what was past me trying to do

[sick parcel]

Previously I didn't bother because it's such a massive waste of resources to reapply skills

[worthy horizon]

maybe you ran out of cookies trying to get something else

[sturdy steeple]

invert how hard would you evaluate the lysandre moltres solo to be

[worthy horizon]

harder than ex koga bulu by a large margin

eve latias actually took me a lot longer but it's closer to on par with that

[heavy sinew]

holy i got it

finally

NO

latias why must you do this to me

[pearl beacon]

Good news, we'll probably face Latias again 2 times soon

[heavy sinew]

diantha hits too hard

for her to go through bar 2 with slippery slope

[worthy horizon]

koga took me 40 minutes, lysandre about 3 hours flat, ramos a bit more than that, and eve latias 5 hrs

[gleaming cypress]

how long did bp barry vs bulu take you

[worthy horizon]

but ramos was skill issue

[gleaming cypress]

it took me like 6 hrs total

maybe more

since it was split across a few days

[worthy horizon]

like 5 attempts lmfao

broken skill gear

[gleaming cypress]

ah, good 4 u

[sturdy steeple]

okie thanks

[gleaming cypress]

then maybe my ex koga would be easier

hopefully

whats the strat tho

[heavy sinew]

ramos solo huh

[worthy horizon]

do first sync without poison so you can skip the half bar and deny accuracy buff if you have ex

[river cliff]

Should be pretty easy, you can skip bar 3 with poison into sync

[worthy horizon]

yea i did do that in my run too

[gleaming cypress]

he does that much damage to a flying weak bar 3?

damn

then i really gotta try it

[river cliff]

Yeah ex Koga goes crazy

[olive swift]

Lady Korina is QUEEN

[river cliff]

The colress + attack buffer duo on Bulu is driving me insane

[raven crane]

Who to make this easier?

[worthy horizon]

attack debuffer, bad flincher, or a better damage dealer

[raven crane]

Looks like a good slot for one of my half a million 1/5 damage dealers.

[worthy horizon]

yep

[karmic willow]

Lol

[karmic willow]

Any attacker really

[heavy sinew]

I've been trying for hours with Diantha pal dawn, and I KNOW it works but bar 2 is a run killer

[keen flint]

Fuck you unflinches your flinch
i get that the half bar cleanses status conditions etc but dont they normally need to at least queue a new version of the move

[heavy sinew]

I'm trying everything to not get slippery sloped

[keen flint]

this bird is making me lose it

[raven crane]

I feel this so much.

It's really weird.

Sometimes when I flinched Moltres on the half bar cleanse it fully registered and Zinnia could queue up her move right before Moltres did its, but then sometimes (most of the time) it didn't.

[pearl beacon]

Lesen flinch 9 sometimes leave no room

[keen flint]

got the clear at last but it cost me a few years of my life span

[pearl beacon]

Slowly proceeding 🐌

[sick parcel]

It's okay

I'm only at 40

Hell this is actually the first LG I'm actually trying beyond 10-12 wins

So I'm learning as I go

[worthy horizon]

easy pryce carry

[median swan]

might do that too that solo is annoying af

[tiny hedge]

gonna post this here for you all 🙂

[raven crane]

I adore Zinfogel.

[pearl beacon]

They're still playing? Was looking for the usual f2p clears on their channel (to add to the doc)

[kind imp]

he's finishing a lg stream on twitch rn. it ended

[pearl beacon]

Oh noice

[heavy sinew]

Nvm I quit with this

Abhorrent luck

[rocky oasis]

I HATE this team

ran out of weather setters already

[heavy sinew]

How do you win

[karmic willow]

just leave it on autoo

[rocky oasis]

flinch and running flameproof on hilda

[heavy sinew]

Zamn

[rocky oasis]

also delay bar 2 till you can get a regen in on aero

[heavy sinew]

I forgot lodge Volo has sandstorm

Yippee

[rocky oasis]

and only use hilda TM at +2 speed so you get a extra regen for gauge later

[heavy sinew]

I see

[rocky oasis]

it also took me a houro

[vital ibex]

What duo can I do with 1/5 exr nc silver for moltres?

[dense yew]

What’s an auto team I can run for cookies?

Not too interested in going far this time but I’m low on cookies lol

[worthy horizon]

if you just want one bulu is pretty lenient, can throw on a flying damage dealer and tanks

should be a bunch in the auto doc in the pins

[olive swift]

For those going for queen nemona

It's best to use her for moltres?

Since sun boosts her dmg?

[dawn plume]

she might be able to solo latias

[olive swift]

HOW

[dawn plume]

she has sustaining moves

healing sun and regen on tm

her b move debuffs and never misses

and she's on type on the second and third bars

[olive swift]

Ohhh

[dawn plume]

its a matter of how many hits she can take

cuz shes still a striker

[heavy sinew]

4 hits

[dawn plume]

give her some credit lmao

[karmic willow]

Supreme entry ss grims is overkill af

On a trio

[dawn plume]

also nemona can really only benefit off moltres's sun if she is 3/5

which isnt an issue if you're planning on getting her 3/5

well i guess healing sun at 2/5

[sturdy steeple]

nemo gets healing sun at 2/5

[heavy sinew]

Diantha is so weird to slot in

She hits hard but needs good support

Idk who to pair her with

[dawn plume]

yea but she doesnt have more power under sun which is weird

its the act of setting sun that gives her buffs

[mint osprey]

That's it. I'm gonna stop doing those Potion rng solos

[dawn plume]

or an ally setting it

ss acerola will be good for her lol

[karmic willow]

Regirock

[heavy sinew]

You know what

You're right

[dawn plume]

regi the rock

[sturdy steeple]

rocking the regi

[karmic willow]

Doesn't give a damn about stat reduction

Gets a good heal

Lowers speed

0 gauge issues

[dawn plume]

i dont think oak and nidorino will have many solos

he kinda has the same issue variety agatha has

maybe im wrong but he does NO DAMAGE

mucho healing though

[sturdy steeple]

he looks so bad

[heavy sinew]

who up reging they rock

[dawn plume]

he exists to sit there and eat special moves while your striker does the work

which i guess is what people look for in a support sometimes

[heavy sinew]

Trying this for now

not looking good

But also looking promising

[dawn plume]

3 sandstorm mprs

well

you can get away with 1 actually

[sturdy steeple]

1/1 tm on oak is so dumbbb

[dawn plume]

sonia defense crushing

crit squad 1 on a 1 use tm that doesnt buff crit on its own

give him team sharp entry 1 at that point

[sturdy steeple]

at least you can run this pretty commonly and be chill

sprint unit with literally nothing sprintlike is still crazy

[wise raven]

That random trip up 9 at the corner
Dena should stop their obsession with kekwalk

[sturdy steeple]

real, helps with 2 LAs at least,,

[dawn plume]

he will probably need to grab flag bearer for any solos he might have which will be like 2

but just not rly worth

[heavy sinew]

Oh wow I did it

That was easy

[dawn plume]

pair him with a shitty striker

[heavy sinew]

He only has poison sting for damage ?

[sturdy steeple]

yea for sure

[heavy sinew]

[sturdy steeple]

not just poison sting, sub 200 atk!!

[heavy sinew]

[sturdy steeple]

his selfhealing is actually good so he will get latios at least

im more curious about raikou

[dawn plume]

he even has every poison pair's nightmare

the psychic weakness

its always that or ground which ALSO SUCKS

[sturdy steeple]

Pure poison types are not happy

[wise raven]

sure crit EQ

[heavy sinew]

Imagine being weak to psychic

This post was made by bug weak gang

[bitter gate]

Should I stick to my handicap

Or just yeet trios

I just realized I have done no trios on bulu and latias

Just Moltres lol

[heavy sinew]

Craziest save of my life

[drifting talon]

NOOOOO I WAS SO CLOSE AND I HAD SUCH GOOD MOVE REFRESHES

[rocky oasis]

moltres clear

farm sync buffs on bar 1

[karmic willow]

You wanna cosplay naomi?

[rocky oasis]

you can clear most of bar 3 w/ max move + a few bullet seeds

needs exr tho

[karmic willow]

I mean it's moltres

Always justified

[rocky oasis]

icy wind is good for getting rid of those pesky flame charges

[heavy sinew]

Holy crap Guzma dies to a special attack against bulu

Why is he so frail

[sturdy steeple]

[olive swift]

The essence of BATTLE

[rocky oasis]

lmao its not too hard ex 2/5 exr

just gotta sync w/ only lapras on bar 1

[olive swift]

Hopefully I get dupes from her from the 100 free pairs

[rocky oasis]

gl

[olive swift]

Only have her 1/5 I cri

[chrome halo]

Tbh i don't expect getting any limiteds

[worthy horizon]

i expected nothing and i got argenta and ss n

[rocky oasis]

i want volo and nothing else

[worthy horizon]

so i was pretty happy with that

[chrome halo]

Given how my luck keeps disappoint me in the past 4 months, and i was super lucky on Arven banner

[rocky oasis]

i just aitn optimistic

[blissful rose]

I'm expecting 100 3* tix tbh.

[chrome halo]

At least you didnt get 4/5 emmet and 6/5 Redlax like me

[worthy horizon]

argenta has done so much rally carrying

lol

[rocky oasis]

i need 4* tix to finish up my strikers before anni dumps a bunch more on me

[chrome halo]

Anyway, good luck everyone

[rocky oasis]

rn im working on getting bugsy and seibold to 5*

[worthy horizon]

[heavy sinew]

I got tierno

Wow

Finally someone I need

this was on the nemona banner, I got nothing on the free one

I sleep

[pearl beacon]

Holy

Got thenspark animation but was just Wallace

[worthy horizon]

that was in 100 pulls last time tho lol

today i got 6/5 elio and a 4* pu

[gleaming cypress]

too lazy to roll for FT2? tech Persian has you covered

[river cliff]

I got 0 limiteds at half anni, I'm expecting 0 this time

[gleaming cypress]

first pull, got 1 ryuki

if I get another gen pool 5* I’d have already tied my record for 5 stars in the half anni

[rocky oasis]

i got another plumeria and a bunch of 3*

oh well

at least thats more resources for ex valerie

[blissful rose]

Y'all got 5 stars?

[rocky oasis]

best use ive found for clair

shes outdated asf

only thing going fir her here is being able to clear her own debuffs

anyone have a cheap team for 1/5 anni lillie?

[river cliff]

I used 2/5 Volo with her

[rocky oasis]

no volo

managed to clear latias

fuck slippery slope

lusa practically needs ft2

she has so many gauge issues damnit

shes kinda mediocre at 1/5

[river cliff]

Speedy entry makes a world of difference for her

[tender horizon]

Where Nemona solos

[feral plank]

Well , got SS diantha to 4/5 ig that's good

[lost juniper]

Tried a multi for SS Nemona but nothing. Guess I'm saving for anni units

[bitter gate]

how do people do the james ss ethan duo

it seems outright impossible

depsite following to the letter

[tender horizon]

Just soli

Solo

[pearl beacon]

If 1/5 ssEthan either require one zen headbutt dodge or James 20/20
I cleared with 0/20 James just bcs my ssEthan is exd

Or really good gears

[bitter gate]

my ethan is close to being Exed

but he still always die to brutal swing

and sync

so gear definitely plays a factor

yeah fuck this, I'd rather do the Grimsley solo than this nonsense

too much RNG required

[rocky oasis]

physically painful moltres clear

im scraping the bottom of the barrel here

143 units left

[graceful folio]

Time to dig for more moltres duo

Also got tierno on the ticket scout thingy so that's nice for new stuff

[rocky oasis]

i never wanna see the bird again after this

[graceful folio]

I am 20 clears away for my first ever 100

After that I need prepare me tally for HSE sadly

Ugh

[graceful folio]

Real

Last duo I did was interesting, Marley Karen

I hope I can find some comfier stuff to try

[bitter gate]

I've spent the last 5 hours

stuck at 168 lol

I struggled 5 hours getting rng rekt by many different clears

jesus

[worthy horizon]

i'm actually at the point where i'm overkill on moltres duos for 100 and still need to plan out latias and bulu stuff

[bitter gate]

i actually just went in blind and yeeted it

finally this thing worked, zzz

the 2nd bar dodge is a tilter

[gleaming cypress]

how many 1 and 2* deluxes do you guys consider as a "comfortable" amount

during LG downtime

[worthy horizon]

500 would be but i haven't gotten too close to that amount yet for 2*

i was at 900 1* like a month ago

i'm sure nearly everyone is making do with far less though

super time intensive to farm that amount

[bitter gate]

yeah I have a lot less than that

[graceful folio]

Me too haha

It's basically my 2nd time pushing an LG so, way way less than that screen 😂

First one being LG1 ofc

[worthy horizon]

i like to spend about 5 days auto farming though i'm expecting to do a lot less this time bc moltres

and not everyone auto farms at all

there is one particular eurisko who would spend entire gauntlets farming and hoarding though

if you've ever seen that name around here before

lana sharp entry ptsd does things to you xd

[rocky oasis]

anyone have a duo for 1/5 anni lillie that doesnt involve volo

[chrome halo]

I'm thinking of the classic Misty Lillie duo

But 1/5 Lillie tho hmmmm

[rocky oasis]

welp hsed misty already

filler iris it is

[tender horizon]

Filler Iris

4

[pearl beacon]

I intesively farmed once on LG12 That round was kinda super easy for autos

And let me stack enough to survive and dump everything with two-three ls on most of units
And all the entries settled

[twin aurora]

Not much that I’m going hard but… Oak 2/5 is pretty good and lively, didn’t use potion once cuz of Solgaleo PR passive

[quaint tartan]

Oak best unit of the data

[twin aurora]

Based

[pearl beacon]

Alr used Rachel?

[rocky oasis]

yes

got tored of dealing w/ latias

[mint osprey]

100 acc - Hit every move
95 acc - Miss 3 moves in a row

I hate this damn game

[lost juniper]

Who is good with non EX R Jacq for Moltres?

I can't give the cake to him right now I unless I get extremely lucky with Marnie or Hop

[bitter gate]

you'll probably need a flincher

a lot of the bulk and damage comes from those things

I've crested the 300 mark

the end of my misery is near I suppose

[quaint tartan]

Go go go! Keep grinding

[bitter gate]

I don't want to :c

it's painful

time consuming

and tilting

it's funny because I also still have 12 supports I can use

[stuck mantle]

170+ should be around top 20 mark

Since most are farm cookies for dc

[bitter gate]

that aren't eggs

Nah

[river cliff]

LOL absolutely worth EXing Bugsy for this

[bitter gate]

it's gonna be mid 50s

[rocky oasis]

MISERABLE moltres team

the more breathtakins you get the less flinch rng you gotta rely on

[bitter gate]

trust

every time I do LG I always end up 40-50

lol

[lost juniper]

Time to double my clears then

[lost juniper]

Same

[rocky oasis]

lol im aiming for top 100

idk if top 50 is even possible w/ the bird

[graceful folio]

Raining here at work, perfect weather to attempt Moltres

[twin aurora]

Any team with Lodge Cheren? I wonder where to use him, Latias or Loltres for flinchfest, assuming I have about equal quantity of teams for birb/plane

[rocky oasis]

the fucking bird

[bitter gate]

do you remember your placements across

[lost juniper]

I have them screenshotted

[bitter gate]

I've only gotten top cut like what, 6 times?

but I got 55 like three times

lol

[rocky oasis]

my last one

[bitter gate]

the exact same number

i skipped the last one

was too busy irl

[rocky oasis]

homestly im starting to hate the cow too

its hard to reserve any units at all for him bc the other two are hoovering everything up

[lost juniper]

LG14 and LG13 placements

[bitter gate]

my LG14 was 203, but I didn't screenshot that one

this was 13

actually I've only made the cut 4 times, I failed three times just barely

like right underneath 100

that was so sad

[heavy sinew]

Nice

[bitter gate]

I still have a 1/5 EX Geeta I can use, I wonder what I can do with it

[heavy sinew]

No nemona solos?

[bitter gate]

skippingmud did the main three

lati/bulu/raikou

[heavy sinew]

Mmm

[rocky oasis]

unfortunately she kinda needs 2/5 exr to duo moltres w/ a lapras

she kinda needs grassy cushion for bar 3

[bitter gate]

I am about to commit sacrilege and overkill duo Latias with SST Red

I am ashamed :c

[rocky oasis]

gl

latias is obnoxious enough

waiting on the 25th to give ss hibert another candy

[dawn plume]

skippingmud said ss nemona can get to bar 3 vs latias

wonder if its manageable

[lost juniper]

If not him, maybe one of the jp players will get Latias

https://youtu.be/WHGszIwy0SY?si=cwZlEOz32x67hFbI

Redhono wasted no time though

https://youtu.be/2JZ0nmJ1ovo?si=tT1VVZifJrKFi6kT

Raikou too

[dawn plume]

+10 energy looks required on raikou seeing how close it was lol

latios can probably be lowered

but man i feel like thats all he might get

he would have to take multiple wood hammers from bulu with no means of debuffing its atk

maybe with infinite potions idk lol

[lost juniper]

Yeah I doubt Bulu is possible

[quaint tartan]

He’s huge for duos btw, can address multiple gimmicks via status and debuffs

and the protect ofc

[raven crane]

He's goated.

[bitter gate]

Me rn:

https://y.yarn.co/28c01314-3ac1-467f-8b38-2b2cb140c2ba_text.gif

what's scary is that my total suggests I can even get 200

or at least 194, even if I trioed my remaining not eggs

[raven crane]

Who's a good duo partner for 3/5 EXR SS Nemo vs Latias?

[bitter gate]

any decent meatshield would do.

[raven crane]

Alright Sygna Suit Aura Cy-

[river cliff]

Could try egg Wigglytuff

[heavy sinew]

@karmic willow how did you do your Guzma parasect duo on bulu

[raven crane]

I dunno if I have it still.

I will though.

[karmic willow]

i have 2 ways

first way is the guzma solo but easier (aka get low, on a run and danger dodge)

the method 2 is

The eggmon tanks

spam spore to heal

because spore is grass move

grass move in g.t = heal

[heavy sinew]

I'm trying the 2nd way cause the first way is too much

Guzma cannot deal with special hits at all

Eggmon is 5* but I can't outheal even with ft2

[karmic willow]

gear also plays a factor

[heavy sinew]

I have pretty good gear

[karmic willow]

then

idk lol

eggmon invested

gear good

and so on

it's just a stats thing at this point

eggmon takes vigi

maybe pray for a miss on z.headbutt if you need it to live that badly

also use tm early on

and such

[river cliff]

Figured I'd share this for the few EX Bugsy havers out there
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SEqieDRNvi0

[karmic willow]

tm screech 3 times into spore

[bitter gate]

will reference this for future use, and to think I was struggling using Marnie of all things with him

but given the efficiency of side clear it makes sense

[river cliff]

Seems like most pairs with a good aoe nuke could work as a partner for Gladion

[heavy sinew]

Do you have a video that I could follow?

[heavy sinew]

Fellow EX bugsy haver

🤝

[river cliff]

The ex color scheme goes pretty hard

[bitter gate]

I used Bugsy for Bulu with something cheap, which is why I didn't use that, but good for reference

[dawn plume]

exing bugsy

what a concept

[river cliff]

Maybe this'll make the latios solo more feasible

Getting to grid toxic power and twineedle ramming speed was pretty funny

[lost juniper]

What's the music you used

[dawn plume]

thats the jigglypunk song lol

[lost juniper]

Reminder that Bugsy can technically solo Bulu

[dawn plume]

it was added to the shop this update

[lost juniper]

Oh it's that? Cool

Never used it so I didn't knew

[gleaming cypress]

what are cheap duos for will on latias

or did you all actually do the solo

[dawn plume]

most ppl are using will on moltres p sure

impervious and flinch

[gleaming cypress]

👍

[dawn plume]

champion bede makes a fun duo for him

uses will's sync nuke

which is surprisingly good?

[quaint tartan]

Well he’s a tech with interference sync and sync power flux via grid
Not that surprise

will ex when DeNa??

[tender horizon]

things you do for optimising

[gleaming cypress]

you gotta have heaps of 5* PUs in stock to even consider giving bugsy EX

unfortunately i don't have such luxuries

anyways thinking of trying supp hitmonchan + bertha on moltres

or a flincher idk

[karmic willow]

remind me to

make one for you later

[tender horizon]

nowadays all my 5* PU going towards ex role units or shitty sprint and field units

[hollow meadow]

EX'd her, 1/5. Where does she go?

[lost juniper]

Moltres. Just bring someone with weather

[heavy sinew]

I used kabutops

But she's exr

[tender horizon]

ex ss diantha is so good , if i knew that was coming then maybe i wudnt 3/5 her

hahahha

[wide citrus]

attempt failed

[sudden marsh]

what are some easy f2p teams I can use? It's pretty hard to read the team repository doc

actually I think I get it now the columns in the first row were messing me up

[wide citrus]

for current gauntlet?

[sudden marsh]

yes

[wide citrus]

for Tapu Bulu try Lodge Skyla if you have her

and some flinchers on the side like base skyla

[river cliff]

Nah I had to wait until I had enough to attempt it. I just had a funny idea and dumped the resources to give it a shot

[wide citrus]

it honesly depends on what units you have ngl

and at what investment

[sudden marsh]

i could send my poma tracker I just don't wanna spam chat

[wide citrus]

i don't think you would

[young forge]

Would Anni N (3/5 EX) + Cheren (EX) or Dana 1/5 be the cheaper duo against Latias? I don’t want to upgrade Support Porygon or Starmie to 5*

[wide citrus]

that's the chat is for after all

[river cliff]

I've seen people use sun eggmons with N

[sudden marsh]

pretty sure I can hit 10 wins, I've used:
SS: Lyra
Syc
Blue
Falkner
Nanu
Valerie

[young forge]

Hmm Tech Flareon or Tech Ninetales? I assume maybe Ninetales because of healing sun…

[river cliff]

Flareon and Fuecoco are the two I've seen

[wide citrus]

NC Bianca can solo all 3 stages

[young forge]

Well i suppose I’ll try Flareon first then

[wide citrus]

so you can lock her in for Latias

[sudden marsh]

yea I was gonna use her for moltres

[wide citrus]

do you have her EXR unlocked

[sudden marsh]

no can she not solo without exr?

[young forge]

When would the best time to use Sun be?

[wide citrus]

not acording to the doc

you can still use her but better bring some other pair to pivot the attacks and flinch

generally if the solo is too hard and you're only scoring for 10 wins you can use some other pair to help your main unit

[dawn plume]

she can solo without exr

oh latias

nvm

she can do moltres without exr

[wide citrus]

wait she can?

i thought she can do latias but not moltres

that's what the doc is saying

[dawn plume]

thats min investment

[river cliff]

I'd imagine once in bar 1 to kill the sides fast, not sure when you want to pop the second one

[dawn plume]

diantha can solo at 5/5 ex

no cake

which is more investment than 3/5 with cake

[sudden marsh]

I think they were looking at my roster since my bianca is only 3/5

i thought she could solo without cake

for moltres

[wide citrus]

this
