Weird they don't post it since anni in 3 days

Ah right
bitter gate
Ah right
rule of thumb, all mines come out consistently in recent times an hour before reset, two days before content release
- new app logo was released on twitter
twin aurora
Expected much less from myself but I’m fine with result, at the end of run thought that I can do more but was lazy to split some teams on solo. Let’s see if I secured top100
blissful rose
Silver redeemable in DC, skippingmud probably overhyping now haha
Winning monthly feels so good.
mint osprey
So one DC pair per month. Next month will be Hoenn? Unless they skip Wally because he's evil already in
median swan
and lear!!!!
bitter gate
you might as well
assume you'll get a rival every month now
you get string cheese man

unless you don't count them as rivals
just gimmighouls tho
median swan
they aren't rivals but i'm happy for them 
mint osprey
Wait, Trevor double-dipped on the same month? Damn

Oh, oh, okay
Lusamine and Rose are BP units

I thought my gems were in danger

this is technically
Cheryl's alt

rejoyce

her FIRST ex'able pair

I can kind of see why they chose not to give Kris field
mint osprey
Sprint is good
karmic willow
I can kind of see why they chose not to give Kris field
the moltres propaganda
but
sprint IS good
mint osprey
SS Kris always has 3 Rain so a field feels redundant
sick parcel
Due to her Sync Burst, you kind of have to use Rain Dance before her first Sync to not waste the passive
There'd be a bit of forced overap with field
worthy horizon
for gauntlet more is still better
mint osprey
She gives buff on first rain so it's totally fine
Getting to next sync faster >>> a long duration rain personally
twin aurora
Anni raihan support hmmmm
kind imp
Mainly just weird bc it breaks the pattern of the rest of the trio and she has no cd reduction tiles on base
sick parcel
Yeah personally it's a bit weird considering they gave field to the other two
I mean Lyra was always going to be field, Ethan could have went a few other ways
karmic willow
alt leon getting cucked
mint osprey
Just like they didn't give NC Bede Support?
mint osprey
Both CHop and CMarnie got Support

Also if I read the dev letter right
The multi role feels a bit counterintuitive for LG runs
Since rebuff dies at each bar

Gold saucer Lear

The 4th anni trio has some issues with that
sick parcel
Yeah using them is a bit of a chore
Especially Leaf
The other two at least have regular attacks
Leaf is just reduced to a Leer bot
Once rebuff is dead
karmic willow
@median swan okay but who will you pull realistically? Lear?
kind imp
Especially Leaf
Ye
But I had some fun doing some 2/5 solos
Really liked burning all 3 of coba's bars
Instead of just bruteforcing with potion mpr

Really liked burning all 3 of coba's bars
Not syncing in bar 1 and then queuing flare blitz in the transition to bar 3

Well my first LG (that I tried beyond 10 wins) went decently
I mean it's not much compared to the standards of this channel but still
Was cutting it a bit close actually but managed the 100 before the reset
Thank you to everyone here that provided advice over the last few days btw

for a first serious attempt that is also in a moltres gauntlet that seems like quite a solid amount to me

That's not too bad
Judging by the collective strength I assume your roster wasn't super bloated
gleaming cypress
15 ex’d units went unused
sick parcel
So working with what you had, that seems pretty good
sick parcel
I'm a day 1 player but my roster isn't that extensive either
Since I've been in the habit of rolling only on Master Fairs these last few years

all ungridded

And have avoided PokeFairs in general

I legit ran out of orbs to grid aggravation 1 on my flinchers

I was too lazy to actually grind even for top 500, but I'm fine with that
sick parcel
all ungridded <:LarryDead:1090014801654198383>
But yeah, I guess it's easier to run out of orbs now that sync grid energy extension is a thing
I have to curb my own temptations as well lest I ran out of orbs for actual gridding
Though
Getting that far with an ungridded roster is pretty impressive
Well partly ungridded
sick parcel
I was too lazy to actually grind even for top 500, but I'm fine with that
Do you know what the cutoff for 500 is?

Personal objective completed, by entering the top 1000. If it isn't for my job, it could be even higher, but felt satisfied 
mint osprey
Morgan should be able to deal with both Bulu and Latios
sick parcel
Oh
gleaming cypress
I somehow got a couple extra clears compared to last gauntlet despite moltres
still at the 3k to 1k range, but I’ll try to surpass 1k next time
cursive briar
Do you know what the cutoff for 500 is?
idk, it was ~68 few days ago, so I think it's 75 or so
sick parcel
Ah, I see
Was a bit curious
I was initially intending on just staying in the top 500
cursive briar
I could achieve that, but I'm lazy with team comps and not patient enough, hopefully during the next lg I'll get 100th win streak and more important - autofarms 
gleaming cypress
this was last gauntlet for comparison
sick parcel
But it was becoming increasingly clear that trying to stay inside top 500 would bring me so close to 100 wins that I might as well just go for the 100 too
It was my first LG (that I tried) so I never got the 100 wins title either, so yeah might as well go for that too
sick parcel
this was last gauntlet for comparison
That's pretty good progress
Like you said, Moltres was a more intense bottleneck this time
So the fact you did better is saying a lot
gleaming cypress
thanks a lot man

I hope I kept my top 3k at 28 wins

Once I ran out of weather, the Moltres teams were such a struggle
worthy horizon
you get the rewards for completing after reset at least
i think it should count but no way to confirm
still pulled 17 3* deluxes from farming after doing the streak even with one of the worst possible lineups
87 2* and 206 1*
sick parcel
Once I ran out of weather, the Moltres teams were such a struggle
Moltres teams felt like a struggle even with the weather eggmons
I realized very quickly the only duos that would ever work were with a sync nuker that can vaporize the second bar in one shot (so that weather can be reserved for 1st and 3rd bar, since you only get two uses)
So I was fiddling around my roster to see who could pull that off

rocky oasis
meh i refuse to roll them on principal
worthy horizon
i still like lance's design tho so
sick parcel
Though
Judging from the datamines
It seems like the theory that we'll get an Arc Suit for each type seems likely?
I assume the other Champions will get one eventually, but besides that I wonder who else we'll get
mint osprey
Iris when Dragon is taken :
worthy horizon
dark is upcoming

I get the impression Volo might get Ghost eventually
Since in PLA the one plate he does end up being kind of associated with is Ghost
tender horizon
It seems like the theory that we'll get an Arc Suit for each type seems likely?
Why is that theory when it's fact
worthy horizon
bug is likely alder but dark does not have an obvious pick
worthy horizon
yeah iris would be most convenient
tender horizon
Kukui Rock?
sick parcel
Alder seems about right since he recently got some focus too with his grandson
I expect them to expand on that
I assume Iris gets Dark for Hydreigon since it's her ace as champion

we're getting a bug arc suit before a bug mf ok dena

The expected cost is still 72K for all 3
Only 20% of all ppl pulling have to spend the extra 10K gems
pearl beacon
At least so happy we got quite a lot new f2p units, usable
Numbers growing
~~ unless arc units can beat 3 stages within one use ~~
tender horizon
Statistics dont change just cus scout points are increased to 500, but the amount you have to save to guarantee getting the unit changes
sick parcel
Yeah the last few years I've been saving gems exclusively for MF sparks
Only deviating from that pattern extremely rarely if there's a damn nice Pokefair that I want (I think the last one for me was Summer N and Iono)
tender horizon
You should prioritize the MFs and reevaluate after pulling your 1st unit, since you may need only 3 multids for the first, pity the 2nd etc.
I dont mean prioritize MFs over other stuff
I mean prioritize among the 3 arc suits
kind imp
i wish they did more units with debuffing youself gimmicks
like let ss gladion debuff himself with fleur cannon and make his b-move spammable and with enough multipliers that he would do more at -6 than +6 sp.atk
maybe give dauntless on grid
for faster clears

so like
if you want more damage
you have to play around not letting your supports buff you too much
sick parcel
I feel like that'd be kind of dangerous for the defensive stats
kind imp
like if you want the smun from nc blue tm you want to use at 0 gauge
so it buffs less sp.atk
sick parcel
Like even if you're not the tank, there's always stuff like Heat Wave and EQ to worry about
That could vaporize you if you're not careful
Unless they gave some funky gimmick where defensive debuffs = more damage reduction
That would be kind of amusing and interesting
kind imp
ye
and more attack debuffs more damage
like ss n and alt2 gloria have cd reduction to remedy the drawback of 2-turn moves but retain the gimmick
while selene alt tries to ignore it
or sc adaman/shauntal with burn
to be a bit different from anni steven, ss steven, ss hilda, ss gladion, ss lear

first bar was his issue and strike ex helps a lot with that

very MPR reliant
he has more consistent traits than his base form but durability is worse due to flinches and MPR reliant regen
he primarily has better debuffs and offensive pressure

well, sort of, Nanu is still better on gauge, Rose is better on durability and output

it's essentially Phoebe-style PB
CS PB only

well, Phoebe's is still kinda useful for LG, but still very CS centric
they looked at Sabrina, realized she absolutely sucked at staying alive and just gave her that backbone
dreamy warren
how do the arc pairs look for lgs?

even then she can't take half health either, management is worse off there
They're all gonna do at least 10
Cynthia can solo moltres if she wants
the other two idts
but have better matchups everywhere else

Lance might be able to brute force moltres
bitter gate
Lance against Tornadus is literally 30% rate fishing

Lance also eats torn

but he can probably do it
actually I think steven can do moltres
probably very comfortably
because he's not fire weak
I thought he was but yeah
he's the most likely to do 14

how about 13/14 for solos that don't seem ass lol
bitter gate
well, some will still take a while but yes
in terms of simplicity I'd say it's fine because his margin for error is so high
Probably Steven > Lance > Cynthia in terms of frequency
but wouldn't be surprised if Cynthia also ends up with 10 or 11
she can't do Cresselia
stuck mantle
Get seteven 5/5 will be realy hard its main issue
stuck mantle
Arc grids 5/5
bitter gate
yeah but
they only have one tile each at 4/5 no
unlike fairs
and steven's is at 4/5
which is his offensive debuffs
you'll want them for Torn only
he doesn't need them for anything else, I think
thick dawn
i'll be real i didn't see the 4/5 tile until 5 seconds ago
he prolly still could've done it without but lol nvm
pearl beacon
Arc grids 5/5
They doesnt look tooooooo broken
Good but idk gamebreaking
Sure 0 energy is stupid af
worthy horizon
they only have *one* tile each at 4/5 no
but 0 energy cost so 0 opportunity cost as well
bitter gate
Lance's is kind of annoying
inner turret
Bruh, the hell is that Sabrina pb <:CourtneyBruh:600788593622908933>
It's ok imo
bitter gate
because his only form of nuke scaling is attached to 4/5
hallow gull
They doesnt look tooooooo broken
Good but idk gamebreaking
Sure 0 energy is stup...
For me, 5/5 Arc Cynthia is broken
bitter gate
rofl
stuck mantle
Dont now some will get him 5/5 and we see
hallow gull
Tf she gets Dust Kicker at 5/5
bitter gate
oh she needs it for moltres, lawl
inner turret
but 0 energy cost so 0 opportunity cost as well
The only cost is going there
hallow gull
Gonna save all Gold Candy for them
worthy horizon
the path is 0 cost too
stuck mantle
Its just start
worthy horizon
they're all next to each other
hallow gull
Smh if they release new Arc pair every 2 months, my gems just always die
sick parcel
If it's any consolation, we know Bug/Dark/Fire Arc Fairs are probably coming next,
So you know, you can plan accordingly and invest in whatever type happens to be the most lacking for you
pearl beacon
For me, 5/5 Arc Cynthia is broken
Yeah but like, compared to base Cynthia that get sand only via grid she has sandstorm
If it's extension 5, it's a lot
stuck mantle
Cynthia and steven look 5/5 broken
hallow gull
Doesn’t she has extension already?
pearl beacon
Doesn’t she has extension already?
Yes
stuck mantle
But lance sadly like his base lance
bitter gate
innately she has extension, yes
stuck mantle
Is just ok
pearl beacon
Doesn’t she has extension already?
But idk how much
bitter gate
Lance is essentially "i'm very good at making one target disappear"
pearl beacon
Probably 5, but
hallow gull
Also bc of that she has new Ground Zone every Sync too
sick parcel
Lance try to use something other than Hyper Beam challenge failed
hallow gull
And mostly bc she doesn’t have Sandstorm mpr
sick parcel
I swear if Lance was given something like a Magikarp he'll find a way to teach it Hyper Beam
bitter gate
they slammed all their power budget on her kek
pearl beacon
If it's extension 5, two sandstorm uses of managed should last long enough considering how powerful she looks
I mean, still two candies or more pulls
sick parcel
Yeah I don't really like this new precedence either
Way too many new units, especially with the increased spark cap
pearl beacon
Who are the spotlights?
chrome halo
Trevor, Malva and Chuck
pearl beacon
3?
tender horizon
Striaton trio still in NPC hell
bitter gate
he'll still find a way to make him work but
tender horizon
bitter gate
unfortunately
tender horizon
Trevor is pretty bad
Canonically bad
bitter gate
really hard to justify him
hallow gull
We have like 11 free pairs ( count spotlight)
pearl beacon
And they look good
tender horizon
Count variety lear and rachel too
pearl beacon
Or at least not miserable junk
tender horizon
We getting a free of them
hallow gull
Then 12
tender horizon
I hope i get Sawyer
bitter gate
you generally want Sawyer
Sawyer is way better LG unit
he can do a lot of LGs
if he wants
he has the kit for it
bitter gate
we're just living in a more spoiled world now
anything short of broken bollocks is bad
lel
tender horizon
Ye like whos actually gonna use BP Lusamine except for LG players
bitter gate
f2p players
tender horizon
Newbies
bitter gate
who need a good grass unit
tender horizon
No need grass units when you can just brute force everything with cynthia
bitter gate
you can only use cynthia once
kek
for most content
and newbies aren't prepped for UB eithe
though not impossible
Not sure how I want to feel about Morg
she's very well-rounded
but not as reliable as something like idk, Eve
worthy horizon
tons of regen
bitter gate
well, Morg has pots and her own pings
just only +2 distribtued defenses
very aggressively oriented
even Nita is probably a better soft frontline than her
copper helm
Just for clarification, increased cap affects only Arc Fairs?
bitter gate
Ehh, idk she'll beat Nita
bitter gate
i'm just thinking morgan could get a decent solo count no
i'll give her Latios and Bulu
but idt she can do anything else
copper helm
The cap for arc fairs kinda puts me off from them
Makes me want to pull something other than those
bitter gate
Regirock possibly
dreamy warren
how does Lear look for lgs
copper helm
The cap for arc fairs kinda puts me off from them
Makes me want to pull somethin...
Even tho I love Steven
Lear looks amazing design wise
median swan
Is Lear any good?
he's kinda a straightforward damage-dealer tbh, like nemona without the tech-y stuff lol
he has sp def debuffs but it's on a once-per-sync-cycle b move
pearl beacon
Is Lear any good?
A lot will depend on his passive, so we have to wait
Defensive Pasio circle is kinda a joke if the boost isn't high enough
median swan
amazing defensive immunities tho
pearl beacon
But sure he got a lot of utility
median swan
which you'd expect from gholdengo but eh

Would be extra funny if she got the same sides
Or she does?

UB Latios basically has LA Latias gimmicks.

Sadge it’s not LA Latios gimmicks

oh are details out

BP pairs have some good potential

not yet

Another Lance with another Dragon Shift Hyper Beam made me laugh
median swan
i just wanna know if it's fairy-weak or not so that i know if i'll clear it day 1 or on october
inner turret
blissful rose
Dragon weak I heard
The more stats he has, the stronger he is with more barriers lol
inner turret
where did you see that 
blissful rose
I checked the UB channel, but it's clogged up with arguments on who is the better support lmao
median swan
the best support this update is trevor, next question
lilac wave
karmic willow
i stole this from reddit
you know
the game has come to a point where
raising your attack by 6 stat ranks
is not impressive anymore
ebon raft
Did they ever use Terra Firma or an equivalent elsewhere?
karmic willow
shit i want a pair that raises the entire team's speed or defense or something
karmic willow
<:ShaunaInvestigate:1096064139367030866>
no but
chrome halo
Did they ever use Terra Firma or an equivalent elsewhere?
afaik no
karmic willow
Did they ever use Terra Firma or an equivalent elsewhere?
they had to make sure groudon cannot be used against this beast
he was ALMOST perfect
a dual damage type striker
one physical one special
inner turret
can't wait for a cress ground bruteforce team
twin aurora
Cynthia is nice support for SS Gio
median swan
wdym rika already solos her
inner turret
she has poison sting that's cheating
karmic willow
she has poison sting that's cheating
literally
tender horizon
is not impressive anymore
Same for Zone setters
Lucas PalMarnie and SSR Cynthia - you have to press a button to set zone? Psst
Theres like what, 5 steel zone units now?
tender horizon
can't wait for a cress ground bruteforce team
They cudve put Piercing Blows on Cynthia for 5/5
Arc Cynthia
copper helm
Wait they also made those Arc Fairs 5/5 tile dependant?
tender horizon
Wait they also made those Arc Fairs 5/5 tile dependant?
I mean theyre all broken at 1/5 as usual
If you arent a completionist you wont die

This 3/5 is so nutty for solos
30% flinch with each hit, and paralyze for tornadus, recuperation 2, and vigilance

most exciting news this datamine is cheryl getting a bp pair which means her base pair will likely get EX soon
bitter gate
BP cheryl is so good i'd say she's as good as Trevor lmao
i just don't see what Trevor is meant to do
median swan
his best
median swan
he'll very likely just outheal the easy ones
worthy horizon
sounds about right from a quick glance
bitter gate
idt he can do Bulu
Like, he has no defense buffs or
anything to check
Raikou yes
median swan
vine whip heals under terrain
bitter gate
yeah but what's stopping him from getting overwhelmed by the tihrd bar
at least wally had attack drops and dodge
and even that was hard
median swan
could end up being a synthesis mpr fest lol
worthy horizon
farm as many sync buffs as possible and pray
bitter gate
yeah but you typically want stoic and grass guard
worthy horizon
can do a bunch of waiting for bulu to recover under terrain potentially
worthy horizon
def stoic reliant
worthy horizon
for avg skill gear ig
dawn plume
haven’t looked through kits yet but seeing rachel, sawyer, and battle chatelaines all getting EX means i got a lot of power up tickets to spend this month
worthy horizon
chatelaine outfits are really good too
also it's odd how bad dana is against bulu and i kinda don't think ex will net her another solo
dawn plume
supports typically dont need ex for their solos yeah
its just a bit extra damage early
only if their exr is good
worthy horizon
speaking of exr i actually am warming up to the idea of ss kris sprint
good if you can finish the battle within 3 rains
bitter gate
the reason they probably gave her sprint is because they felt she had more enough duration to go around
because of sync brust
pliant glen
haven’t looked through kits yet but seeing rachel, sawyer, and battle chatelaine...
I already had all these invested lol
It's just Evelyn I need to power up
dawn plume
morgan is very good wow even at base
pliant glen
Chaelaine fans eating

but restoring strike at 3/5 is the icing on the cake

25k gems this datamine. Yikes.
bitter gate
let the angry screaming begin
river cliff
Is that lower than last anni?
dawn plume
25k lmao
bitter gate
By a 100 gems apparently, idk
bitter gate
Am I allowed to not be outraged
dawn plume
remember 40k at 3rd anni
bitter gate
Because people have been mad at me for not being mad 
dawn plume
nah get mad
if its really only 25k thats outrageous
3 arc fairs that need 45k to pity and a master fair
dogshit anniversary
really sad for the state of the game
pliant glen
bitter gate
I mean I don't care enough about the game to be mad
I just roll with the punches
Most people treat this as a side game anyhow
pliant glen
My only gacha and not doing any more gachas after this
bitter gate
Also when has being mad ever promoted dev change in the games history 
It's rare enough in other gachas as is
bitter gate
My only gacha and not doing any more gachas after this <:SophoKEK:68191654981206...
Amen

My only gacha and not doing any more gachas after this <:SophoKEK:68191654981206...

pliant glen
At this rate give me my Fall Shauntal and I'm done
dawn plume
i played feh before this i dropped it around the 3rd anni because pvp was overly toxic and business practices were getting scummier
river cliff
I do worry that with arc fairs being the new most premium pairs master fair banners start becoming more common
dawn plume
this is devolving into that
dawn plume
anyways lear’s grid expansion is really really REALLY good…
bitter gate
If their current practices lead to actual revenue punishment sure
Just that fsr, nope

I've been going on about this since the Stones chapter started, keep Arceus away from this game if you want it to live

The lear event is about money
What if they're saving twitter and other gems
For that event
pliant glen
That'd be funny
dawn plume
wbk lear is dena’s self insert
pliant glen
3/5 Anniversaries have had DeNA's OCs involved somehow
bitter gate
Because it's literally about lear being a money
dawn plume
lear’s grid expansion should enable quite a few more solos, unlimited no stat increase provided snatch mprs and free moves galore
pliant glen
No Unbending or Stalwart nodes rip
dawn plume
he currently only has latios and cresselia
pliant glen
I get to keep the 2/5 EX solo since it's just Dauntless and something else
pliant glen
That solo was manic
Sprint Lear would've been the funniest thing ever but DeNA were smart this time (sadly)
Lear and Champion Iris got the wrong EX R
bitter gate
Im gonna try the Latios BP Rose solo when I can
Idt Bulu is doable but
I'm open minded
pliant glen
When was the last time something didn't solo Latios? DC Blue?
bitter gate
Not sure
dawn plume
dc blue got latios
fairly sure all DC pairs can solo latios
latios getting his revenge soon with UB
gleaming cypress
i still don't get what makes latios so easy
rocky oasis
he hits like a wet noodle compared to everyone else
and has no real gimmick
he even helpfully debuffs his own spatk if you stall on bar 1
only dangerous thing about latios is the sure crits
river cliff
Second half of bar 2 is also pretty scary
rocky oasis
oh yeah that equake can kill your run
river cliff
Dire straits is such a bs passive
rocky oasis
you can sorta skip it if youre careful w/ most solos thankfully
river cliff
Yeah but the ones you can't, better pick a god and pray
dawn plume
ok i finally went through the arc units kits and ngl this is. really depressing
just egregious powercreep and their banners are just strictly worse than master fairs
mint osprey
They are certainly desperate with 4 MF-tier banners this month
rocky oasis
lears gonna be picking up more solos
river cliff
Yeah he might be the biggest winner of sync grid expansions we've had
rocky oasis
unfortunately i cant be assed to candy mine again
river cliff
The dodge solos are going to be funny
He's a fave of mine and I've been looking for an excuse to take him beyond 1/5, so I'll likely take him to 5/5
Eventually
dawn plume
also mass releasing a bunch of characters from npc jail is… worrying
mint osprey
I only know Morgan is good. Haven't checked other pairs
I think it's mean to release 2 Kalos spotlights right before anniversary
river cliff
It's been the norm for a while
shy notch
Now that arc fairs are a thing, I wonder if master select scouts will come out
river cliff
Calling it at 10k paid gems
rocky oasis
huh sabrina got better at tanking
mint osprey
10k is a bargain. Try 20k
rocky oasis
she got MH1 too
rocky oasis
doesnt ashchu have smth like that

Hmm mf selects? Dont think it happend.

Eventually they will have to rerun Irida and Adaman and give both a cake

also mass releasing a bunch of characters from npc jail is… worrying
I do find it rather odd why Malva is out of NPC jail this time instead of last time
considering both years had a daily type battle event
I guess her being Sprint is a reason?
