Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)

[pearl beacon]

Wow

[stuck mantle]

I kinda dont get this limit but its ok for me now

Im not try hard so not care any more🤣

Now jp will pull 500/500 banners 5/5 not me:)

[pearl beacon]

Well you can just use them and buy more after all
But I guess its done to avoid stacking the best deals

[stuck mantle]

Yeap its why they make it

So cant buy more on best deals

Only when use it can buy

But maybe now they change since 500/500 baners?

[pearl beacon]

Arc Suit deals, maybe

[stuck mantle]

Its cost 10k more each pitty

If this arc 3 only pairs then it would look better

But if they add 3-5 more it will be crazy bad for gammers

[rocky oasis]

yeah no theyre def adding more

[stuck mantle]

Hard tell we dont have datamine yeat

[rocky oasis]

maybe not during the update tho

[stuck mantle]

And no info about hse date in dev letter?

And ranked dc news

[sturdy steeple]

This ain't the chat for this

[pearl beacon]

What if there are also 2 mfairs

[chrome halo]

haha suffer

|| ||

[karmic willow]

Tru

[heavy sinew]

Because it's eos

Anyways

[karmic willow]

Legendary gauntlet?

Dude legit sometimes i have to spend SO many more hours on this game

Compared to other months

[pearl beacon]

Closing and tweaking grids/ls takes too much

[rocky oasis]

i wouldnt mind making lg every 3rd monthp

[bitter gate]

wait for tommorrow

for more info

[pearl beacon]

Maybe just rush one every two

3 months may be hard for cookies and ex mats

[river cliff]

Just remove the time limit and have it refresh the lineup at the normal time

[bitter gate]

Jasmine time

[tender horizon]

Why do u think they cut the best awards after 11 clears

Technically it's our insistence on doing long streaks but thats not what the devs actively encourage

[karmic willow]

Because they are

Limiting what we can get

[bitter gate]

oof

[karmic willow]

Give me rewards for 20 streaks dammot

[bitter gate]

No Viola

[tender horizon]

Oh shit

Gating field and sprints?

[karmic willow]

Closing and tweaking

Rolling for lucky skills

Telling yourself that you have to do this solo and end up duoing

[heavy sinew]

3 fucking dead multis

this has to be a prank

[pearl beacon]

Oh it's free shaft time

[heavy sinew]

I got absolutely nothing

I'm mad

Going to sleep mad

night

[blissful rose]

Got Cynthia 4/5 today LMAO

Guaranteed to get shafted on her AS banner then.

[chrome halo]

i got a today

that's better than 5 dead multi

[bitter gate]

grabbed Jasmine and Roxanne

not sure if I wanna pull the uhh

strike one

[inner turret]

Grabbed Spring May 💀

[chrome halo]

:MayShock:

[tender horizon]

I did the calculations

Turns out Arc suit pulls arent as bad as they seem

Just the scout point issue

[bitter gate]

essentially 3 more multis for a pity

whichn is annoying

[tender horizon]

So the expected amount of multis needed for the master fair is 7.2 while for arc it becomes 7.8

[chrome halo]

knowing my luck, it's gonna be 15 multi for me

[pearl beacon]

I got pCandice, she has good 1/5 potential

[tender horizon]

Its saying the 3 out of 4 people wont have to go through this extra scout points

Of the 25% people who pity any master fair scout, 80% of them have to spend the extra 10000 gems

[bitter gate]

Im not motivated by strength in this case

Was deliberating on Candice vs Elesa

[stuck mantle]

I pick from select candies and pal@marnie its all got nothing in pull

[pearl beacon]

Btw got a nightmare day
Nothing in the free scout again (0 limited since it began)
Nothing in the x25 poma day gems
Seasonal select gave not even a single extra

[chrome halo]

i got trolled by Grimsley not once but twice today

fuck man leave me alone

[tender horizon]

Im not gonna buy any of these seasonals

Maybe i will do the paid pokefair or paid special costume, i will see

[stuck mantle]

Costume is on gender

Rest tech sup strike

[tender horizon]

Actually i dont want SC too

So i can skip tht

[bitter gate]

too early to tell tbh

[river cliff]

Sc pairs are appealing

[bitter gate]

we only have 6 guys and 13 females

in SC

that's too skewed of a ratio lmao

[tender horizon]

Sc pairs are somewhat better than seasonals

[bitter gate]

7*

[stuck mantle]

Hmm they post pick on twitter on special costume

[bitter gate]

yeah, it's just coincidence I think

[wise raven]

Uh guys for LG and okay to stay 1/5 for indefinite time, the best pick is obviously Pal Victor right? I was debating whether him or Fall Allister

[bitter gate]

or if you think about it

they'll put counterparts

[river cliff]

Can finally grab sc Rosa if it's split by gender since I can grab Brycen too

[pearl beacon]

Pal vic is so good at base, for LG

[bitter gate]

as in diantha will be split from hilda etc

[stuck mantle]

Yeap victor is the best

[bitter gate]

am kinda hoping that SC Jasmine is split from Bellelba

[chrome halo]

what if she was excluded because she was a solo sc event

[wise raven]

Okay thanks everyone

[river cliff]

I would be sad

Also fingers crossed for Lear grid expansion and Sawyer and Rachel EX

[pearl beacon]

So we have only one big pf select this time

[bitter gate]

we have 3

not just one

[pearl beacon]

I was looking at this
#1012311116778586182 message

[chrome halo]

and they are divided into roles

[pearl beacon]

Oh noice

How abt Sprint / Field?

[wise raven]

but it's sprint and field erasure

[pearl beacon]

[chrome halo]

yeah

no Rei for me

[pearl beacon]

Would love that so much

They deserve it

But already happy for the chatelaine

Such a quality jump for lg

[bitter gate]

Nita doesn't like it that much

[stuck mantle]

Arc suit lear is next:)

[bitter gate]

Eve and Dana in particular do

Because of Synchro Healing

[tender horizon]

Nice

I wanna EX Nita just cus

[chrome halo]

i will EX all four of them

and slowly double candy each of them too

between Dana and Evelyn who is worth getting to 3/5 first

[bitter gate]

Dana

[worthy horizon]

dana

[bitter gate]

Eve donly gets Synchro Healing across her grid options

Dana gets way more

[chrome halo]

i will consider her next if Morgan's grid is not amazing

[bitter gate]

depends on Morg's design too but yeah, Dana gets Special Attack buffs, hail tiles for better hail duos

a stun with Cold Snap

and synchro healing on top of that

I do think Dana has a lot more problems than Eve, Eve is simple and easy to get value off

and fundamentally doesn't change much with dupes

Nita kinda does if you're solo fishing

[tender horizon]

Grass teamwork with Sacred Sword

I bet

[bitter gate]

Btw

is anyone trying any new Wallace solos

post expansion?

you think Bulu is within reach? kek

The Latios solo should be a lot easier now at least

[copper helm]

Oof I have a big BIG problem
Now I don’t know what to do…
I want to pull something but varying between NC Bede, ss Nemona or one of the Arc Fairs (steven any good? Or is Lance better?)

[inner turret]

im gonna try to lower some spring may solo
it wont be fun without ramming speed but we ball

[copper helm]

Arc Fair stuff with 500 pity + reuse makes me not want to pull…

[pearl beacon]

Dw,there's time to look at datamine
Beside usefulness, there's any fav?

[copper helm]

I am a fan of Steven & Dragonite (i like Lance but not as much as his mon)

And I kinda wanted Bede for LG

Before anni

[river cliff]

Steven looks like the second coming of NC Blue

[pearl beacon]

Ye steven sound like a hell of a tank

Max buffing and debuffing

[bitter gate]

I think Wallace vs Bulu is doable

he just needs about +2/4 E

I just don't have the orbs for it

Can someone do it lol

[fading anvil]

What's it take for Darach to win against Bulu? What kind of support do I need for him?

[bitter gate]

get a crit support and defense will do. He's soloed Bulu before, but that's very RNG intensive.

[fading anvil]

Should he only be doing sync damage? He's taking too much in recoil even though the damage can be tempting

[worthy horizon]

yeah you can just feather dance to syncs or use your partner's attacks

[bitter gate]

@worthy horizon you wanna give Wallace bulu a try

I think it's 100% doable

[river cliff]

You can use brave bird to finish off bars if they're almost gone but I'd try to avoid using it outside of that

[bitter gate]

especially with the Mirror Coat trick

as it turns out, if Mirror Coat fails

[worthy horizon]

not while gauntlet is still up but what's the grid

[bitter gate]

you keep the stacks that can be used on Brine

[river cliff]

Lol that's fun

[bitter gate]

so you can just instaqueue it manually and abuse it

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=0&v1=012700035000&s1=5&l1=140&r1=6&p1=0&a1=18040502&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFBggLDhAVGBkcLjAxMjM0NQ&v2=0

I don't think that node is necessary

but it might be helpful

you only need +2E to try

the biggest concern is his gauge and how you need to time trap properly so it doesn't run out by the last bar

so your first sync or two won't actually have him trapped

and save the trap for the killing blow

[fading anvil]

Oh yeah, that did it. I didn't even have to hit the First Aid proc. Just needed to hold on long enough to sync

[near kindle]

Okay, how many battles to I have to clear total? 10 in each or...?

[worthy horizon]

all i can do for now is confirm wallace makes it into bar 2 on bulu

[near kindle]

this always seems so intimidating to have to potentially deal with.

[worthy horizon]

mirror coat canceling still doesn't provide much value

better to just actually reflect something if you're using it which there are plenty of energy balls to do in bar 1

didn't use orb investment

you can do 0 but if you want all the featured rewards you go to 10 yes

not 10 in each, total

[bitter gate]

makes sense

it probably is quite RNG heavy, notably if you're not running FT

[worthy horizon]

yea you're using 5 gauge for a +2 smun brine or you're just using 3 gauge for mirror coat and providing a boost there which even with brine on half bar is still stronger

[bitter gate]

so Brine spam is just better in that case

[worthy horizon]

yeah

more gauge efficient and gets to syncs faster which is all that matters

need as many sync buffs as possible for bar 3 too

mirror coat canceling can help if you actually get the time to stall like with latios draco meteors

and bar 2 is weaker than bar 1 so you could be abusing cat cure there

but prep/posture is largely counterproductive in that case

[olive swift]

@quaint tartan TWINS

Thanks to select scout, got FALL PHOEBE so got another moltres run

Overkill but it's last day so I SOB

[bitter gate]

I was mostlly expecting the needed range for the third bar

but I imagine getting there in itself already is a hudle

[worthy horizon]

yea crossing first bar is not super easy

could change with higher orb and level investment but from no orbs and checking for like 10 minutes

[tender horizon]

Steven is probably the best for LG

[bitter gate]

watch steven be weak to fire

and be robbed of the fated 14

See: NC Rosa couldn't do it due to Tornadus weakness

[feral plank]

Pls dark weak...

[worthy horizon]

since they're keeping the same exact types it's very possible they just keep the same weaknesses too so lance/cynthia are ice weak and steven is ghost weak

[inner turret]

ground weak

[quaint tartan]

Hey, it’s me

Don’t look at the teams they are miserable I just want cookies and coupons

[feral plank]

Earthquake Madness arrives..

[tender horizon]

You used 70 less pairs than them but u call it miserable

[quaint tartan]

It’s not the number, is that a lot of teams are overkill and everything is not planned

I’m just throwing random bullshit

[tender horizon]

Shit im Alrdy rank 95

[feral plank]

Same like me today, i'm just throwing everything today till i'm out of Sync pairs

[tender horizon]

Im not making it yalls

Quaggles has been surpassed by whale

Who actually used 40 less pairs

Expert whale

[stuck mantle]

Its luri

But we have volo and soligas going too

[bitter gate]

ruri is just another breed of LGer

though she's also very positive minded about everything

lol

[stuck mantle]

Dont saw complain on hear twitter

[bitter gate]

thus positive minded

she's not the complaining type

[stuck mantle]

Snow also not complain

[bitter gate]

that's probably also why her tenacity for LG is gr8

lol

they are "casual" whales

[stuck mantle]

But others on twitter compain

[bitter gate]

and that relieves expectations and stress for them to just do w/e

[stuck mantle]

When she get pity new ani then she complain

Its just matter off time

Look ok until you scout

[bitter gate]

when was the last time you saw ruri complain about something on twitter

she's expressed disappointment, sure

but not like shia-style whiners

it takes a certain amount of non-fuckery and zen to be good at LG

hue

because the biggest hurdle is the patience and tenacity

[olive swift]

I'm just desperate to stay in top 100 I sob

I pray I don't wake up and people push me out I sob

[rocky oasis]

lol its the bird

anybody pushing is close to running out of steam

[bitter gate]

i mean, you're pretty safe at that range

• next reset ends the LG

[copper helm]

Oh wait forgotten about this LG
Better start some solos then

What’s the minimum for LB this time?

[bitter gate]

LB?

[worthy horizon]

leaderboard presumably though that doesn't narrow anything down

don't need to be grinding solos in the last 24 hours for sure

[bitter gate]

Well, it's currently 139

and it's noting that around 10 poeple are competing for the the same numbers, 139/140

I expect it to rise to 144 ish tmr

[median swan]

surprisingly it's already higher than the previous rotation's cutoff (137)

terrak harder than moltres confirmed

[worthy horizon]

for a repeat rotation compared to an entirely new one i'd expect it tbh

even if moltres

[bitter gate]

A repeat will always be more familiar than something new

Also DC gives more people incentives to grind

[bitter gate]

also for a moment i thought you were gonna get Kieran but

apparently not

watch the mine drop him anyway

[worthy horizon]

still seems likely

[median swan]

i didn't think he was gonna be the master fair but the rest of the month is fair play lol

with these arc suits seemingly champion-centric tho at least i only have to worry about like 2 or 3 rivals getting them lmao

[bitter gate]

how many rivals did you get spoiled by over this year alone anyway

cgz on 200+ btw

[quaint tartan]

I can feel the wallet breathing

😮‍💨

[bitter gate]

meanwhile mine is kinda not breathing

but only for Cynthia

[quaint tartan]

Mine is crying

[median swan]

not safe yet lol the datamine is still looming

[quaint tartan]

Cynthia and Steven are my favs

[bitter gate]

20 hours

[quaint tartan]

[median swan]

but gl on getting them!! only one i'm interested in is steven lol

[keen flint]

Hoenn actually got a support unit best update confirmed

[bitter gate]

I only care about Cynthia kek

Steven is a "support"

[quaint tartan]

Steven seems better ncblue rn lol

[median swan]

right??? and he's physical nc blue. like exactly what hoenn deserves

[bitter gate]

I can delude myself into thinking that doesn't count

right

despite having every single MF support

and soon to be fair support

when I pity Rika

[worthy horizon]

i've been wanting a new lance alt tbh but i'll prob also need to get steven

[bitter gate]

because he's a "multi" pair

[worthy horizon]

and i can afford to pity both with free gems

[quaint tartan]

Lodge Lance

[bitter gate]

Fun fact: every single Steven I've gotten has taken no more than a multi

[worthy horizon]

lodge lance is really nice too

[keen flint]

I’ll just get lucky and get all 3 on the first multi

[bitter gate]

I can hope that happens again right

[worthy horizon]

both having him be there and getting an extra pair

[quaint tartan]

I’ll try to patiently waiting for someone to come through daily

[median swan]

and let's not forget the actual best unit of next update: mix leaf

[bitter gate]

I just hope I don't have to pity Cynthia, but if I have to so be it

I want Steven just because he supports my best waifu but

sacrifices must be made

:c

[keen flint]

Finally a rain field unit when I get anabel on a field stage 10 on the rally

Assuming it’s blastoise with another clone kit of mix red

[bitter gate]

watch them throw a curveball and it be completely something else

[median swan]

arc suit mix leaf

[bitter gate]

my $$ is tight and I want to keep pitying supports

so I'm probably gonna pity Rika through mix and use the rest of my paid gems on SC selects

assuming Belleba and Jasmine are split

pitied Roxanne and Jasmine through seasonal picks today

[quaint tartan]

Best picks imo

[keen flint]

I have to pick between rika and kabu

[quaint tartan]

I just got the Roxanne copy and stop there

[bitter gate]

I kinda want to grab lodge Kiawe

[keen flint]

I’m missing like 5 lodge units now

[bitter gate]

Variety*

just so I can try Kiawe/Kabu

[quaint tartan]

Sad for NY Wallace

[bitter gate]

Kiawe/Kabu sounds absolutely disgusting in the right hands

[bitter gate]

same

they forgot those exist lol

[quaint tartan]

And viola too

[bitter gate]

I didn't pick Roxanne/Jasmine for strength

[quaint tartan]

But more interested in Wallace bc kit is fun

[bitter gate]

I picked them for aesthetic

if I wanted gameplay I would've grabbed Whitney and Hilda instead

also am debating between Candice/Elesa still

[median swan]

in the same boat but rika won out since she has a song key lol

[quaint tartan]

Since she has a zone*

Oh, a song

[bitter gate]

for mix or or for the fair select

what are you guys selecting

[median swan]

fair

[bitter gate]

or have selected

[median swan]

seasonals just pal victor for now

[quaint tartan]

Might get a copy of rika in the select too but that’s it

[bitter gate]

I have every single fair support except Rika

[median swan]

then supp fair is rika

[bitter gate]

I was thinking I would pity Arven through mix

but he came in two multis anyway so lawl

[median swan]

dunno about the rest, maybe bellelba

[bitter gate]

is it natural for LG people to be support hoarders

lol

it's crazy how many of us are motivated by support picks lmao

[median swan]

if the other roles would like to step up then that'd be great

[quaint tartan]

Through mix I’m getting alt Selene bc she has been evading me

[median swan]

ok tech does step up but shh

[quaint tartan]

Imma get floated with mix lead anyway

[bitter gate]

how many supports are you guys misisng

[tender horizon]

No chance

[bitter gate]

I'm missing 16, one of which is lodge Adaman

[worthy horizon]

very much, rough being an ss lysandre stan out here lmao

[bitter gate]

which is 89% of all supports, kek

[keen flint]

The pain of hoenn maxing and being an lg streaker

[bitter gate]

I miss Strikes the most

I'm missing a whopping 32 strikes

[quaint tartan]

The pain of giving breelom to a sinnoh trainer

[bitter gate]

that's why I absolutely suck at DC, because I never pull the broken offensive units unless they're from luck, husband or waifu

[tender horizon]

ELaine and Pikachu

[quaint tartan]

or having anybody casually bring pokefair lol

[bitter gate]

gib Elaine 2 kek

[tender horizon]

BP Maylene confirm

[bitter gate]

this might be the last LG I do seriously

because I'll be grinding irl work after this

[keen flint]

Greta is hoenn I get she’s forgettable but damn

[tender horizon]

just be like me

[quaint tartan]

Lol I thought she was sinnoh nvm

[worthy horizon]

yea i didn't want to be the first to mention hehe

battle frontier so easy to miss

[bitter gate]

wym

[keen flint]

The kit kinda sucks but I still candied to 5/5 for my precious shroom

Now give me lodge Brendan with shroomish and I can retire

[tender horizon]

I do random overkill teams and still make it to rank 101

[quaint tartan]

Here, take lodge Lance and dratini

[bitter gate]

what's your strength

[tender horizon]

Lodge Lance and Aerodactyl probably

[bitter gate]

it's either aerodactyl or zard

give him alolan exeggutor tbh

that might be better lol

[worthy horizon]

yeah it's either aerodactyl or a repeat of something lance or someone else had

[quaint tartan]

Mmmh I’m expecting a dragon support

[tender horizon]

I think Dena is smart enough not to try to sell more fire units

[quaint tartan]

For him

[tender horizon]

by selling an aerodactyl they can get ppl to pull for OG Lance haha

[bitter gate]

or just screenshot your LG screen

[tender horizon]

Uh wait

@bitter gate me Acerola fan

everyone in this chat gonna go whack crazy fighting for solos when BP units drop

[bitter gate]

yeah but all your shit is blocked

lol

your strength and units

[tender horizon]

3701920 my strength

380 units

its shown there

😮

[bitter gate]

souka

[rocky oasis]

18 left

[bitter gate]

@rocky oasis proof that tenacity beats resources

gj

[rocky oasis]

lol

[tender horizon]

proud of you

[karmic willow]

Someone said to me lg is p2w and I got offended by that so much lawl

Like legit

[tender horizon]

High score* is p2w

[karmic willow]

The tenacity you need

[bitter gate]

It is a factor

just not the only factor

[karmic willow]

It is one

[tender horizon]

No money would earn you the patience you fundamentally need

[karmic willow]

But not the thing that overwhelms all

[bitter gate]

and oftentimes it is the 2nd deciding factor after willpower/skill

[tender horizon]

unless... WHAT IF SOME PEOPLE BUY SERVANTS TO DO LG FOR THEM IRL

[bitter gate]

having resources doesn't mean shit if you don't manage them

having great skill and management doesn't mean shit if you don't have resources

and neither matters if you have no time and willpower to tryhard

[karmic willow]

Pretty much

[bitter gate]

LG isn't as p2w tryhard as HS, but it's not like people play it for the board oftentimes anyway

[karmic willow]

It's really a test of a lot more skills

[bitter gate]

I lack all of those things

most people in top 20 don't have less than 450k strength

only two people don't

and not everyone with 500k+ strength has a good ratio

i had more time this LG, but no planning or willpower

to hard commit

[bitter gate]

yes and no

at some point it becomes a copyfest, so the deciding factor becomes tenacity

how much tilt are you willing to go through to solo

[karmic willow]

Still, can't deny you have to be crazy to come up with clears that are absurd to win

[bitter gate]

highest ranking people often have time/resource/tenacity/management, any one thing you're lacking and you're always gonna fall short

which is a continous refinement

but for the most part the mode is static until we get more terrakions

or whenever they drop raikou, cress or some new combo

those new things test you, the older ones become more tenacity + copypasta, with maybe some folks redefining new duo strats

[pearl beacon]

Strenght is meaningless at some point

You may have my same units but everything 5/5 and we have the same strenght while the difference is absurd

[bitter gate]

Nah, its imo still the minimum benchmark at least if you're aiming for top 100

But yes, dupe count

I think resource is the better word

[pearl beacon]

Yeah

[bitter gate]

Only in recent years has game content punished me for not being meta in my pull choices

I'm still only motivated by waifus and bad things only, and I guess supports

It's harder to do that now tho

[median swan]

it only really becomes an issue if you're aiming for like the top 20 title

coz as you said, going toe to toe with those who have much fuller rosters will always be an uphill battle especially if your teambuilding is similar

but as previous rotations have proven, the number of people who are like that rarely exceeds 100 hahaha

[pearl beacon]

Same
Plus I'm on a pity streak

Btw this round of select

[bitter gate]

At some point raw resources will outweigh ant semblance of skill provided you're quite new

[pearl beacon]

I overall like to collect, as much as the 3k bundle and few extra allows

[bitter gate]

It also depends on what your unit count is AND what you have

While my unit count is high, Im missing more than half the stuff that can do 12-14 solos

But yeah, if you have a good amount of resource, competition isn't "super" high

[pearl beacon]

Day1 curse/bless
Newer ppl focused on much powerful stuff

[bitter gate]

I am a bit salty because I missed the cut thrice, and by the slightest sliver

[median swan]

investments are important too, like i have a bunch of 1/5 strikes every rotation that i'm just not using lol coz how do you make something like 1/5 sc sonia work

[bitter gate]

I duoed Bulu with Nita

And it works with a 1/5 variant also

[median swan]

who's an on-demand support

[bitter gate]

On-demand?

[median swan]

sorry, in-demand lol

like lots of possible duos with her

[bitter gate]

Oh definitely

It just depends on your management

[bitter gate]

I have a 1/5 SST Red, a 1/5 SC selene, and a lot of other 1/5 gauntlet kings lol

I just don't invest in these things

[median swan]

also goes back to what we were saying above about supports coz for the most part at least 1/5 supports still have enough to work with

[bitter gate]

Ye

I'm just collecting all supports because I can

Much like how I have all ghosts

Down to even a 20/20 Helena

[median swan]

i'm lucky that many of the recent rivals have good lg kits but then i have to turn a blind eye to stuff like sc selene

[bitter gate]

I'm just motivated to experiment with things that are bad

Though meta is so creeped I have to dig into 2022 or early 2023 to even get one

Lol

[median swan]

but v plumeria was this year

[bitter gate]

I wanted to grab her but she cane at the wrong time

Like if I were purely motivated by unit quality

She'd be the first thing I'd pity from mix

Even then idt she's as bad as people say

[pearl beacon]

Uninvested is totally useless

[median swan]

yeah she's not vgio

[bitter gate]

But what do I know, I'm a noob at this game

Lol

Yeah poor V Gio

Kinda meant for 3 v 3 play, not super great there even then

[pearl beacon]

Triple DC Ground, but then comes arc Cynthia

[bitter gate]

It's ironic single Dragon Shauna rotates on the same day Arc Lance arrives

[pearl beacon]

Even Nemona came out in time for triple fairy

[chrome halo]

What if the Dragon weak stage made its return in the ranked DC

Like the last time with Klara and Poison weak stage

[tender horizon]

not ironic

it's exactly as planned

this year's anni units were the most predictable

[bitter gate]

I was replying to trope lol

[pearl beacon]

Dena knows how to make moneys

But would be funny if they're not powercreeping old units enough
Lucas is no joke

But mostly concerned abt investment, new candies feels bad for ppl who pulls just one copy

[inner turret]

[pearl beacon]

Yeah, finally , she was elusive
Going to ex her, she got all the mprs at base

[lost juniper]

If that happens I'm getting him no matter what

[inner turret]

Candies will be based on EX role, there wont be Multi candies

That's a relief at least

[shy sinew]

that could just be referring to level cap idk

[feral plank]

It's based in their ex role when unlocking lvl cap, but the number of items and the items itself are different than what we have i understand

[copper helm]

So for Steven I’ll need support cakes, yes?

[inner turret]

I hope it's also candies

Yes

[dawn plume]

got da ice cream cone

[inner turret]

Nice

[dawn plume]

tickets also gave me a 3rd rose

i had him 2/5

so thats something

[lost juniper]

My choices for selects

[lost juniper]

Arc Cynthia summons sand so that would eat time

[chrome halo]

3/5 Rika over 3/5 Pal Victor right

[pearl beacon]

Imo yes

[vital ibex]

yea you want that zone extension

[pearl beacon]

Also as value, you may get that last victor copy by mix, free tickets or whatever while Rika still have some margin for extra

[vital ibex]

still criminal how rika's b move isnt 2 uses

[chrome halo]

I have high demands for Field cakes in the last 2 months

[chrome halo]

Given my mix luck i doubt it

[pearl beacon]

And trap
But if the multipliers make up for it
Like ncSilver

[lost juniper]

Yeah. I feel really conflicted since I want arc Cynthia but dena doing thay scummy banner

[gleaming cypress]

screw efficiency time to go all in

[rocky oasis]

damn exr palmer is hitting like a nuke

75% of moltres bar 2 wiped by a b move under zone

12 units left

[lost juniper]

Palmer is super strong

[rocky oasis]

im shocked by how well he performs at 1/5

exr but still

hes hitting harder w/ a b move than a lot of syncs

[gleaming cypress]

what base power is his b move

[rocky oasis]

he also has normal zone and 3 ^PMN

from this passive

[gleaming cypress]

reminds me of poppy

well they gotta make him hit hard since he doesn’t hit anything for supereffective damage

ig

[rocky oasis]

he cant spam it btw

Tho he does have a b move too

[dawn plume]

i love palmer lol

i have him 3/5 exr hes a beast

esp since lg is my main gamemode and you're usually offtyping here anyways

[chrome halo]

I will get him someday

Currently saving candies for 4/5 OG Cynthia

Sand Kicker is nut

[quaint tartan]

3/5 ExR palmer is also useful in br when striker + tech comes, he can “””tank””” and heal with b move

[blissful rose]

Maybe hold off on candying old units given we might get them accidentally in the revamped Daily Scout. 👀

Felt like vomiting doing more than 20 runs per day before Gauntlet ends.

[chrome halo]

Actually good point i will select SC Irida over him tho

[rocky oasis]

not in the options

[river cliff]

I wonder when they'll start making select banners for sprints and fields. The only pokefairs I wanted were Larry and Greta

[bitter gate]

eventually when we get more, hue

[lost juniper]

Me every gauntlet

[dawn plume]

poor paulo has not been made available outside his debut banner and mix scout

[bitter gate]

It's not healthy to continuously spend too much time

lol

[rocky oasis]

remaining roster

[bitter gate]

you can definitely push I think

[dawn plume]

unless you got moltres in which case uhh

[bitter gate]

depends on his eggs

and he still has hilbert

[rocky oasis]

no eggs

used them all

i also cant be assed to fight moltres more than 1 more time

[bitter gate]

finally farmed up to 200 1* deluxes.

not much, but it's at least something.

am I gonna drop to 45-55 again

like, the number is so cursed lol

[sterile frost]

Done

[bitter gate]

ahh, someone finally did it

@sterile frost vid/specs?

[chrome halo]

** ✨ U T T E R L Y G L O R I O U S ✨ **

[tender horizon]

thinking of Whitney too

[lost juniper]

Oh nice!

I'm assuming Latios has gotten easier too?

[bitter gate]

Having tested it briefly myself, yes

he's not stressed with side kills notably

[sterile frost]

I'm uploading :v

[sterile frost]

yes, so ez with +2crit lol

[bitter gate]

was just wondering, sorry

[lost juniper]

Think Entei is doable now?

[bitter gate]

I personally doubt it, he either has to burst quickly

or have no gauge

because of speed drops

also probably needs to dodge the spin

[dawn plume]

first time using her. gauge is rough but i love how she can still win when almost dead lol. don’t have the patience for moltres duos anymore though

[sterile frost]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xq9ldHP4ga0
my run was done with godluck lol

[dawn plume]

oh lordy 10 energy

[mint osprey]

When you spam shuriken with Calem and you get not a single heal, you would wonder if that is gridded and you missed it

Seriously, some run rng can be so atrocious

[bitter gate]

good lord, that ending was scary

[sterile frost]

yup, i will try it, but i dont have strategy for bar 1

[dawn plume]

dodge 3 fire spins

[tender horizon]

Am i officially out of top 100 yet

[strong elk]

Why is this clear so hard. It’s like solely reliant on potion MPR

Keep getting to final bar and then dying to the grass hammer

[chrome halo]

Make sure Hop is full health when entering bar 3

You can wait forBulu to use a move on bar 2 right before the bar transition so you can sneak in your actions before the hammer

[strong elk]

Yeah this is fucked

I’ve gotten to bar 3 with full health once I think

[gleaming cypress]

i gave koga EX and supp ninetales for +6 SpA

[chrome halo]

You can continue the run with Koga

[gleaming cypress]

he can nuke through bar 1.5 so bulu doesn't get +2 acc

(more dodges)

[strong elk]

I don’t have the 4* power ups for koga

[chrome halo]

4* Koga is fine

But he demands sync grid

[gleaming cypress]

yep

he also wants +SpA from skill gear

this is very reliant on potion MPR, maybe grass guard on hop can make things easier?

you can heal off crit seed bomb on bar 2

[strong elk]

Ya know

I do some dumb shit sometimes

After increasing their move level, I forgot to grid

…

[tranquil umbra]

I want to auto farm… but both Latias and Moltres i believe are hard to auto

[strong elk]

Is auto farming best done when u still have a streak?

I thought u wanted to do it when u can just keep resetting after u do it

[lost juniper]

I got unbelievably unlucky on the HWhitney Solo

2 misses with +1 evasion that killed my run, followed by 2 nat crits in 2 later attempts

From seed bomb killing me from full

[blissful rose]

Just breached Top 100.

And the first person I saw on leaderboard is Arzen.

[blissful rose]

Probably the most annoying feature of Bulu. +1 evasion.

[lost juniper]

Yup

Evasion my beloathed

[heavy sinew]

Oh no

I might be cooked

[tranquil umbra]

Of course i plan on resetting now. This is my summit, just sharing here

[blissful rose]

Having more runs?

150 might be the safe spot tbh

[heavy sinew]

No

I'm stuck here until 7 pm idk if I'll have enough time to do any more runs

[sturdy steeple]

Stay strong

[karmic willow]

Good luck

Meanwhile

The japanese community got me cooked

Rip top 3 dream

@thick dawn

[rocky oasis]

final streak

used every unit

https://youtu.be/z56RXmBbwf0?si=nzoqboLJ7scjn-ct

[lost juniper]

I'm almost at 150 now

Really scraping the bottom of the barrel to come with solos and duos

[trim totem]

Where's the spreadsheet that lists the singles/duos and autos for the current gauntlet?

[rocky oasis]

you have 13 hours. dont bother w/ solos

[lost juniper]

I wanna keep the ratio though

At least up to 150

Then I'm doing trios

I'm gonna do the SS Cyrus solo on Latias though cause I ran out of partners for Moltres

[gleaming cypress]

W gauntlet

my main bottleneck was orbs

i ran out of orbs increasing energy caps so i couldnt grid aggravation 1 for my flinchers

so less moltres clears

[lost juniper]

Who you use with Lucian?

He frustrates me

[drifting talon]

Having trouble with Phoebe and Event Victor vs Latias. Phoebe is having trouble surviving long enough

[dawn plume]

she 100% needs healthy healing ls

[drifting talon]

Already done

[dawn plume]

hmm

you might need to max quake early to buff her sp def

[sturdy steeple]

did ya use the ground max move after first stync

lemmay too fast for me

[drifting talon]

Ohhhh I use Max Quake?

[sturdy steeple]

follow my video example

[drifting talon]

I was using the Max Ghost move

I think I didn't pay attention to which one you selected, my bad

[sturdy steeple]

no worries ehe

gotta love max quake

[karmic willow]

Vigilance is too weak cuz I do not trust curative confusion being able to debuff enough stats lmfao. My cutie Rosa is at 5/5 (as she should be) so she kills faster than most, making it hard to debuff more

Mind Games 2 is the way to go for higher move levels. Not like she can die anyways with all the potions

But yeah, streak ended. It's finally over

[kind imp]

Wasn't dc2 better than mg2 for latias

[karmic willow]

Idk

I just like more damage lol

This clear takes too long anyways

[kind imp]

I mean dc2 is more damage

Bc latias buffs more def than sp.def iirc

[karmic willow]

Ehhhh

I'm sure it plays out somehow

Also contrary to Naomi's run where no syncs were used bar 1

I spammed the shit out of it to kill sides quickly

[strong elk]

Ahh alright

[dawn plume]

lol i was trying this but no dice

steven hits bar 3 too hard and the sun comes back up

i dont sync at all bar 1

[vital ibex]

why do you not sync bar 1 lmao

if steven syncs bar 3 and can get to half bar hail bringer should overwrite the half bar sun should it not

[dawn plume]

he gets to half bar too quickly

[vital ibex]

ohh

just spam astonish w bea then

[lost juniper]

Don't attack with Steven then

[dawn plume]

no aggravation at 1/5 im 2 coins away from being able to 3/5 her but im sad

[lost juniper]

Like how Grant + Cynthia works

[dawn plume]

p bea cant really do anything until 3/5

its a shame

and i am just short of getting there

[mint osprey]

Yeah, she's awful before 3/5

[lost juniper]

Bertha + Hitmonchan isn't that bad now

Surprisingly enough. Skill gears helps a lot

[dawn plume]

oh she actually does have aggravation at 2/5

well

[lost juniper]

If you're already planning to candy you might as well get her to 2/5 for the clear

[dawn plume]

yea imma do it

steven still has to tank she doesnt have healing hail or snow sentinel yet

sigh

[inner turret]

candying to 2/5 so you have more incentive to candy to 3/5 later

[dawn plume]

ok that worked

i also got like 3 potion mprs despite only having 1 mpr2 tile

err thanks

[sturdy steeple]

beagaming

[indigo turret]

Rushing easy teams last day

[olive swift]

I'm trying so hard

Not fair

If I can get this, I can get 2 more runs I'm crying

[blissful rose]

Saw Arzen earlier and now Hyperstar on the leaderboard.

Fr gonna end at 150 and rest.

[olive swift]

I'm ded

[tender horizon]

Good job everyone

!

[tender horizon]

wow weird team

[olive swift]

It's not full

[tender horizon]

bottom of the barrel clears

[tender horizon]

oh i cant see the bars

[olive swift]

I made it to last bar with sabrina

[tender horizon]

why didnt you finish the one with Sabrina Brendan

!

[olive swift]

So I used other team to finish off instead of resetting

Becuz NO point as I can't finish another moltres clear

I have the bottom of the barrel units left

[tender horizon]

ah ok

[olive swift]

No more weather units

Nothing

No more supports

[lost juniper]

150 with only solos and duos

Now I can officially go overkill

[feral plank]

Gogogogogo

[karmic willow]

bro you only got a few hours left

PUUUUUUSHHHHH

[lost juniper]

I think I can get 170

[karmic willow]

wait

248

how many do you have left?

[olive swift]

Well I hope this is enough for top 100

For last battle I just used as many pairs I had left lol

[rocky oasis]

lol very few people have the motivation to go higher than you

[karmic willow]

yeah

i mean

it's MOLTRES

[rocky oasis]

bc the bird is pure evil

[karmic willow]

also

not like his remaning units can stand a chance tho

cuz 0 flinchers and mainly stat droppers are... definitley not gonna kill the bird

[lost juniper]

Maybe 150 more? But many aren't invested

[karmic willow]

Dude

Do trios

50 clears one day let's go

[lost juniper]

Maybe reach 200

[rocky oasis]

I think i might have hit a personal record for LG

not just a record vs the burd

[dawn plume]

barely worked

both 1/5

[keen flint]

1/5 argenta and her bad striker partner surviving at 1% on their endurance name a better duo

[dawn plume]

my streak matches my rank aint that something

[rocky oasis]

finally have every gen pool unit at least

ryuki finally came home while rolling for nemona

i hope next LG is way more chill

latios please come back

[lost juniper]

If it's follows the cycle, next one is Entei, Azelf, Cobalion

Which is probably a lot better

[rocky oasis]

maybe cobalion swapped out for uxie or smth

[worthy horizon]

for people trying to get started with auto farming this is what i use starting with the skyla team and going bulu/latias/moltres

roughly ordered by efficiency from most to least, ss kris needs some manual rain dance inputs and geeta is just manual rock slide spam

i dont use the gordie team but it was intended to be another manual moltres team

hard to want to leave anything as recordings when i'm always tweaking stuff for more reliability but i figured i shouldn't completely hide things either

[dawn plume]

man i shoulda used c serena on moltres i goofed

i still have vaporeon and blastoise left but like the only unit i have left who could feasibly one shot bar 2 is ss grimsley maybe ?

[rocky oasis]

if i had h rosa i wouldve use her w/ c serena

you probably wont

even on type he hits like a wet noodle

[dawn plume]

yeah i would need to farm hella sync buffs

oh well

[rocky oasis]

ss grims grid expansion when

[river cliff]

Liquidation staggering 5 please

[heavy sinew]

What's the cutoff at

[nova grove]

how on earth do you flinchlock moltres

it just gains resist

[dawn plume]

142 is cutoff

i typically try to chain flinches vs moltres by using a passive guaranteed to go off like healing sun

[worthy horizon]

stops at lessen flinch 9

[heavy sinew]

💀

[kind imp]

healing sun chains?

[dawn plume]

yea

or healing hail/refreshing rain/anything that guarantees go off in weather

[river cliff]

I hope 160 is safe because I don't have many clears left in me

150 was a little too close to the cutoff for me to stay there

[inner turret]

Im at 11

[dawn plume]

i'm at 133

if i didnt work 40 hours a week i coulda made it thats my excuse

[nova grove]

oh so it raises twice and then stays at 9? gotcha, i didnt realize it was missing the uxie 'at 10 becomes immune'

[rocky oasis]

lots and lots of luck and a enabler passive

[nova grove]

i thought that was just a de facto of how the scaling resistances worked

[rocky oasis]

its the same passive as entei iirc

[nova grove]

im trying bertha runs and because shes 2/5 i need to be able to nuke bar 2

and i am just getting nowhere

so im considering wake for bar 2 51% nuke if he can

nessa was heartbreakingly low even with -6 spd and def from razor shell and rock tomb

[rocky oasis]

bertha ex?

[nova grove]

no, shes only 2/5 non-ex

[rocky oasis]

did nessa have ex and restrain

[nova grove]

does ex give her anything other than a boosted sync?

bc i dont think ground would be enough to nuke even in sand

[rocky oasis]

not really but 1.5x dmg is pretty substantive

[nova grove]

fair

i'm currently shy on champ spirits

elio is next once i get 5 more

maybe ill just go back to trying for archie winona aaron

my kingdom for one weather setter to have been among my 100 ticket pulls

[olive swift]

thats so RARE

[heavy sinew]

Holy I'm freee

Time to grind for the next 7 hours

[rotund rain]

I'll stop here with my humble goal of 100

I probably would've gone higher, but my motivation was gone for a while few days ago

[rocky oasis]

congrats

everything over 100 is pure masochism

[dawn plume]

this is true

well i’m at 137 but i only have like 2 more hours to play

i could just supremely overkill

[worthy horizon]

do it

[sturdy steeple]

more power ups yummy

[quaint tartan]

It’s random bullshit go time

[warped reef]

How do you beat moltres when it sets sun 5 times over the course of the battle

At best I can negate 3 of them with a replenish proc on my weather setter

[shy sinew]

can you half bar skip

syncing from 51% straight down to 0 on both bars 2 and 3 reduces the number of suns you need to overwrite to 3

[warped reef]

I don't think I can nuke that hard no

This is the gang

[mint osprey]

Really like the percentage shown. Makes planning a heap lot easier

[worthy horizon]

if you're looking to beat moltres once you can just use 2 weather setters

[dawn plume]

with hail mpr candice can do more

more than 2 weather i mean

[worthy horizon]

yep

[dawn plume]

and tbh bianca maxes her speed and sonia her crit and atk she can def nuke half bars

can get away with just 1 hail mpr

[warped reef]

But at 2/5?

[dawn plume]

bianca maxes team speed with her base kit

by just attacking

enables inertia for candice

[warped reef]

What do you mean by that?

[keen flint]

That’s me done, many rushed trios later

[warped reef]

So I should be syncing with candice?

[worthy horizon]

yep

i wouldn't be that confident that candice could manage that at that level of investment but that's what lemmay is saying

bianca has over twice the attack stat and a sync multiplier at 2/5 and inertia is just a x2 mult

[warped reef]

Hm well, I ended up swapping candice for acerola, and just won by flinch fishing

[worthy horizon]

yea

acerola is really helpful there

[mint osprey]

Good luck with last 6 hours grind. I'm done myself

[shy sinew]

bestie I've been done for the past three weeks

[mint osprey]

These past weeks have been beating me down, so I am at 42. Maybe next time

[warped reef]

I'm happy with just 10

[night blaze]

I’m at 16 and have secured top 10,000 lol

[river cliff]

Wow this duo is super free now with Wallace's grid expansion

[chrome halo]

Who designed Wallace's expansion to be able to only raise 2 crit

[river cliff]

Don't worry, Arc Suit Wallace will be able to get +3 crit at long last

[chrome halo]

[lost juniper]

Arc Wallace is unironically exciting

He'd rock the Arceus fit so well

[river cliff]

Having a Milotic that doesn't suck would be surreal

[sturdy steeple]

pls wait until legends za comes out so it can also mega

[lost juniper]

Summer Cynthia and Milotic

[river cliff]

Flygon, Milotic, and Dragonite all seem like good candidates since they all famously got the shaft

[raven crane]

PLEASE.

MEGA MILOTIC AND FLYGON.

[sturdy steeple]

[chrome halo]

Hopefully gen 6 pokemon get some love too

Except Slurpuff

Burn that thing with fire

[strong elk]

Could I still do this clear on latias without EXd units

[chrome halo]

There is no real tank

[strong elk]

Ah I chose wrong pair

One sec

It’s the same Pokémon but with morty

Is it their lodge pair? I don’t have them

Ah BP pair

[chrome halo]

Morty is pretty good

Give Elesa and Morty Vigilance or try to flinch the sure crit EQ

[strong elk]

Alright cool. I’ll try vigilence

Wait what does EQ mean

[chrome halo]

Earthquake

[mint osprey]

Even more skins shown

[fading anvil]

I remember a Candice clear for Moltres being gimmicky but possible. I just can't do it anymore though. Any freezes instantly get undone with Flare Blitz. Is there another way to simplify this win or should I just give up on it?

[worthy horizon]

add or change something to flincher/sleeper

[fading anvil]

I already have Wulfric and SS Blue, but it's not close at all

She cannot clear a bar at all. Not even close. So the second bar always ends me since if I use Hail on that bar, then bar 3 will be unwinnable

[worthy horizon]

grid hail mpr and change ss blue to glacia who will actively benefit from hail

definitely shouldn't expect to be winning with only 2 hail uses

i duoed candice/glacia but wulfric can add a lot of breathing room, can switch him out for a more reliable flincher if you prefer maybe

[fading anvil]

Is Glacia to also fish for freezes?

[mint osprey]

Glacia can tank under Hail

[worthy horizon]

ice shell plus healing hail plus snow shelter, tanks a whole ton under hail

freezes aren't actually required

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=015300036200&s0=5&l0=150&r0=6&p0=0&a0=21010101&t0=4444&g0=AAECAwQFExYXGCcqLTAxMzQ1&v1=002500046000&s1=5&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=24010201&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFERIUFxkjJSkqLC0&v2=0

that's what i had

[mint osprey]

Of course, you might need her to get EX just to be sure

Those 100/40 helps

[worthy horizon]

most common duo for candice i saw was candice ramos so you could put in snow shelter ramos if you need

or any other sleeper

[strong elk]

I’m bout to start auto farming

I’m looking at the teams

Any idea what team is the most consistent/easiest to use

[worthy horizon]

i mean here's what i've been working with #1012311116778586182 message

[strong elk]

I can just auto one boss, reset, auto and repeat right?

I don’t need to do all 3

Ik I don’t get the high drop rates but still

[worthy horizon]

yeah but it's not recommended if you're aiming for 3* deluxes

[strong elk]

I just don’t have all of those pairs.

I’ll still get some 3* deludes right?

[worthy horizon]

yeah

[strong elk]

Cool

Any shot I could see ur oak sync grid?

[worthy horizon]

oak isn't a farming team

so i don't have any relevant setup for him

[strong elk]

Ah, I saw ur team 47 was oak so I thought u used el

Em*

So swanna, unfeasent, and Granbull are for bulu

[worthy horizon]

yea i said starting with the skyla team so that one's for bulu, next is with latias etc

[strong elk]

Cool

Any shot I could see ur grids for em

And can just Skyla be EX

And can unfeasent be 1/5

[strong elk]

Scratch that, I have move candies

[worthy horizon]

mina is just there for charms

cs2 lodge skyla vigilance skyla

[strong elk]

appreciate you, gonna try it now

[fading anvil]

Her, being Candice?

[worthy horizon]

i didn't have ex candice

[chrome halo]

I think they meant Glacia

[pliant glen]

I have leftovers but I'm going to collapse if I don't stop now. Wish I started sooner than I did. Top 100 is probably out of reach now.

[chrome halo]

That damned bird draining sanity and lifeforce of LG tryhards

[mint osprey]

I definitely slacked off too long for this LG. Gonna cut down auto for 3-4 days

[mint osprey]

I wouldn't hate it as much if not for the clearly increased crit

[chrome halo]

And uh Unflappable at the most important moments

[mint osprey]

"I have +6 Def!"
"Don't care. Eat crit"

Latias flinching like a pro too

[gleaming cypress]

flinchers on their way to flinch every attack except for bar 2 heat wave:

[river cliff]

If they flinch that then bar 3 heat wave

[dawn plume]

you'll still be top 100 i highly doubt enough people will pass you that quickly

[river cliff]

142 has been the cutoff most the day

143 seems to be where it's at now

[dawn plume]

i work super early tomorrow so i’m calling it here, i definitely coulda been top 100 if i planned a little better at the start but it is what it is. pretty satisfied w how it went

[chrome halo]

Never underestimate last minute pushers

I missed the top 100 twice because of them

😭

[gleaming cypress]

there’s 3 hours left

[dawn plume]

that last moltres clear is truly just

screw it

here is a team i know will not fail

just give me 1 more bulu clear and im DONE

i know theres 3 hours left but i gotta be up for work in like 8 hours so im 😴

[dawn plume]

oh man i’m gonna wake up to the worst datamine in history
