Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)

[karmic willow]

I haven't watched it yet but i feel like you would need to squeeze every ounce of damage

[shy sinew]

or maybe not, you’d just need more than 14 potions

[dawn plume]

she 2 shots bars 2 and 3 with sync and b move

its just potion spam

[karmic willow]

Is it

Doable at 4/5 damage tho

And yeah my theory was right

You one shot the dang thing

I guess

Technically you can make it

A bit easier with a support that gives +2 sp.atk

[stuck mantle]

Lol not surprise snow did:) nice he is always lucky one:) daze was close but befor extra orbs

[pearl beacon]

Love it

[shy notch]

Now I need someone to do SS Steven on Torn

[stuck mantle]

This is way more hard then iono. Recover mprs suks badly . And no flinch too.

You would need skip half bar 1 so he don’t get acu up . Then its a chance for it

[stuck mantle]

Soo easy exr😂

Just 1 rain dance need mp

[river cliff]

I don't feel like the exr made any real difference for that solo

[bitter gate]

the gauge feels a bit better but that's it

but its not like field would've helped anyway since permanent

[brisk sapphire]

Is Kris on a 14/14 club

I don't remember

[bitter gate]

no

she's not the best LG unit given her lack of gimmicks beyond weather

[brisk sapphire]

Oh okay what's her record

[bitter gate]

6

which is not a lot, lol

some folks might add one or two to the pool

like Registeel or Bulu or Uxie, idk

[river cliff]

Where there's a potion mpr there's a way

[bitter gate]

she's not double pot MPR is the thing

[brisk sapphire]

Oh lmao

I thought she was up there

[bitter gate]

she tends to be an overkill duo unit but comes short to soloing things herself

is the best way to put it

[stuck mantle]

She is good for rain sup:)

[bitter gate]

we got em

[inner turret]

Cresselia bullying never stops

[bitter gate]

I was expecting to tilt harder but

I got it, rofl

will upload the vid after I finish some personal business

[stuck mantle]

Nice:)

[tender horizon]

Good

Yqlls ready for Cress LG for real

Coballion Raikou cress

[bitter gate]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHbYaONGvJc

done

[gleaming cypress]

max invest

[bitter gate]

all my skylas are fully invested

[stuck mantle]

I have skyla also 10E so if cress happend im ready too goo

[brisk sapphire]

Just noticed the channel name

[bitter gate]

wat about it

[brisk sapphire]

Just found it fun in relation to the actual content, considering some solo LGs really drive you mad lmao

[bitter gate]

Also, nay

I need like

proper flinch luck here

it's doable

[stuck mantle]

Grass weak?

[bitter gate]

oh she did it, noice

[stuck mantle]

2 energy ball drop me sped def🤣

This is how game work haha

[bitter gate]

how did you survive wood hammer is the question

lol

probably need some good stun luck or something

[stuck mantle]

My skill gears from water fairy hse

I have like 35% reduce damage when rain

[bitter gate]

@stuck mantle if you have invested Clair

help me with the Entei solo

[stuck mantle]

Lol ny clair i have 4/5 no extra orbs🙂‍↔️

[raven crane]

ABSOLUTE GOAT.

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-skyla-pokemon-pokemon-masters-pokemon-black-and-white-gif-26269678

[bitter gate]

idt orbs are that necessary

yeah it's not

@stuck mantle
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/2801/78000?s=5&l=140&r=6&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFBggJCg0OEBocHyI&x=true

[stuck mantle]

Hmm where is vigi and flameproff?

Lol look painful for me🙂‍↔️

[bitter gate]

you can take flameproof or vigi but your gauge is gonna suck sas

you need +6 E for revenge boost maybe

[stuck mantle]

Yeap its why im say most new solos need extra orbs

Like kriss i have 10E from hse so was easy for me did bulu

And i check my vid i live 2 wood hammers🤣

Grass guard and gears carry it

[stuck mantle]

Yeap gauge will suks need fast track also since your main play is not get hit alot🙃

[lost juniper]

https://youtu.be/2eYa97iLn7s?si=kyq4PNeiFiFeakBB

[dawn plume]

surprised stdk didnt get it first

[inner turret]

he was trying

rednhoho got it first

[true tartan]

I tried

for 1 hour

went to sleep, wake up, find it done in a few minutes haha

is all about getting lucky with the MPRs on the TM

[bitter gate]

can she do anything else

[true tartan]

really, double endure helps on the last part that is taking bar 3, her damage is very decent

realistically? no

in theory? maybe Regirock

stoic + infinite healing + infinite reflect for the speed

this is an example how far I got with her... before her grid expansion

if I got the double endure, she 100% would've done it haha

[bitter gate]

yeah but won't she just get rekt by crits

[true tartan]

just heal up bro

that's why I said: infinite healing

and in theory, not realistically

[heavy sinew]

I kneel

[tender horizon]

Oh right she got the expans

[dawn plume]

no defensive buffs makes me worried about ss elesas when she gets her turn

[bitter gate]

depends on what they give her

[dawn plume]

first aid 4 incoming

[rocky oasis]

i mean ill take it

I wouldnt mind her getting HE on thunder

Any healing helps

maybe a gauge option bc she starts having issues if you ever need to use thunder vs smth

could use a extra TM MPR too

[vital ibex]

tm mpr 1? say less

[shy notch]

I would take any form of extra sync countdown. She’s pretty much the OG sprint unit

[tender horizon]

Maybe hit and heal on TM

And Head Start 2

Probably something like Fail Forward too

[dawn plume]

full bracing command

fail forward seems likely though

[tender horizon]

Oh i know

Its gonna be Critical Squad on Sp atk all

More curious about Queen Olivia's expansion tho

Give her Extend Range pls

Super Powered 9

Kris-level upgrades

[kind imp]

CS 5

[bitter gate]

They'll give her soften up because JP hates missing crits

Hue

[tender horizon]

Sands of Time

[heavy sinew]

Everyone hates missing crits

[tender horizon]

Ah yes, Soothing Sand

[sturdy steeple]

would be very fitting for her and brendan

[tender horizon]

And probably some stupid PMUN tiles

Olivia TM: PMUN up 1

[heavy sinew]

I hate Brendan why does his miss crits so much

give him another sync multiplier too

Inertia isn't enough

[sturdy steeple]

give him pinpoint entry too

acc tiles should not be costing 18 energy

at the minimum

[vital ibex]

just roll ppe2 lucky skill lol

[sturdy steeple]

this dude needs dauntless

[vital ibex]

this dude needs LEAF BLADE

[sturdy steeple]

TTRUEEEE

[vital ibex]

just pull a cblue and replace dire hit+ with it post mega

[lost juniper]

This dude need more mega passives

[vital ibex]

for real

[lost juniper]

Seriously the mega was insulting

[vital ibex]

at least it raised his atk by a lot… for damage challenge… lol

who said bullet seed dps isnt real

[lost juniper]

And Mix Red is still better

[vital ibex]

inb4 we get a support that has "ally multihit moves: maximum strike"

[heavy sinew]

he has sun tiles he should get solar blade

[sturdy steeple]

time to give him solarize too

[heavy sinew]

with drought alert

[kind imp]

Give him Lightning rod

"electric p-move, s-move take hit: sp.atk ⬆️ 1"

[stuck mantle]

Power off exr 🤣 just 3 mp rain need

[lost juniper]

Honestly give him electric guard as well on top of that since lightning rod in the main games makes him immune to electric

[vital ibex]

nah give him an electric-esque terra firma

raikou suddenly becomes easiest brendan solo

[toxic kernel]

How much does terra firma reduce damage?

[kind imp]

95%

Including syncs and max moves

[toxic kernel]

So assuming something in LA coming up with terra firma but for steel type, there is a chance arc Steven can still finish it?

If it is not 100% resisting

[true tartan]

no idea about Max Moves

[lost juniper]

It can be tested with SS Giovanni

[stuck mantle]

I test vs cress arc cynthia🤣 was funny

But i still manage clear bar1😘

So low damage more you deal from sand then moves 🤣

Maks move deal normal damage

Test it now

[sturdy steeple]

Tornadus already resists damage a ton and Steven beat that mfer at 1/5

[stuck mantle]

Ss gio max quake and steel spikes was same

[toxic kernel]

How much is tornadus resisting? 80%?

[heavy sinew]

yea

[toxic kernel]

So terra firma is 4 times resisting of that

If arc Cynthia is more bulky maybe she will get cresselia through the resist

[heavy sinew]

Piercing blows

[lost juniper]

Yeah but Steven just isn't dying

It's like Rika solo on Cress, and Tornadus too

[true tartan]

a big problem is that Cress does use ice moves in bar 2

welp, sorry for ping

[sturdy steeple]

• no crit on bar 3

[karmic willow]

@sturdy steeple 👋

[karmic willow]

God i want that

[sturdy steeple]

[karmic willow]

[dawn plume]

honestly i wouldnt mind soften up on olivia LOL

means we only need to click her tm once

instead of getting to -4 sp def just to hope syncs crit

[sturdy steeple]

And give her stalwart too cause why not

If Morty can get ridicure 4 Olivia can get stalwart,, right,,

[vital ibex]

consider: 3 energy impervious

[sturdy steeple]

Would be so good vs moltres

[worthy horizon]

they did give ss cynthia and n unbending

[vital ibex]

tbf they're pokefairs and got it at 2/5

personally i wouldnt want that one of a gen pool's 4 expanded slots just to be used on something like stalwart

olivia's nuke is fine she really just needs dps help

[sturdy steeple]

I would because stalwart is so good

[vital ibex]

fair

it better be for 3 energy though if its for 5 energy i riot

i miss the days those tiles were 3 by default

[toxic kernel]

But what about 12 energies for a cs1 tile on Flint?

[kind imp]

Would still be like above average gen pool expanded tile

[sturdy steeple]

I do not miss those days

[kind imp]

Leaf only got +2 crit

[sturdy steeple]

That's all leaf needed 🙏

But it is a shame the other tiles suck

Even tho leaf basically has everything you could ask for

[kind imp]

Lyra got fa4

And swift reaction for like raikou/Regirock idk

Phoebe also didn't get much

[sturdy steeple]

Wallys still makes me sad

Champion wally with shiny gallade when

Arc suit....

[lost juniper]

Wally should be a Neo Champion

And Zinnia too

[vital ibex]

i agree with that!

[shy notch]

Since we already got our first paradox pokemon, NC Wally and Iron Valiant feels like a real possibility. Maybe even Zinnia and Roaring Moon

[vital ibex]

would whale for zinnia and roaring moon

(dark or dragon zone support PLEAAASE)

[lost juniper]

Yes please! Give him Iron Valliant please

[lost juniper]

I'd whale for both if they give Wally Iron Valiant

[vital ibex]

they either go to wally and zinnia or sada and turo

literally cannot see them going to anyone else

[sturdy steeple]

true that

[lost juniper]

Arc Suit Zinnia being the Flying arc suit with an actual Mega Salamence

Mega Mence has aerialite so it works anyways

[sturdy steeple]

i really hope zinnia gets an arc suit and not ,,, base blue....

(both would be flying)

[lost juniper]

Yeah. Either make a flying mega mence for her as NC outfit or Arc Suit

Mega Mence is unique to her too

[sturdy steeple]

(or a broken rayquay unit yay)

[toxic kernel]

Actually I think the flying arc suit is going to be Nate

[median swan]

[shy sinew]

Kantrio is so overdone anyways, hopefully they realize

[worthy horizon]

zinnia needs the upgrade most but i get the feeling they're not done milking kantrio

[shy sinew]

i mean brendan only has 1 alt, the hoenn characters kinda need a little more attention

[heavy sinew]

Dies to any move regardless

[lost juniper]

Yeah we just got another Kantrio set

Let them rest

[shy sinew]

wally only has 2 outfits despite having 4 pairs, him as an nc or just with the alt label would be perfectly fine with me

[worthy horizon]

it's specifically the case of arc suits that i don't think will go to more than the most popular characters and champions

but we'll see

[tender horizon]

Fuck

No way theyre not even using a pseudolegendary

An American eagle

[raven crane]

Someone else sees the vision.

Join me my brothers and sisters in arms, for we shall bring Zinnia and Mega Salamence (Arc Suit/Neo Champion) to fruition!

[shy sinew]

how on-brand of you to say that

[raven crane]

https://tenor.com/view/raphtalia-shield-hero-tail-wagging-cute-moe-gif-25715129

[dawn plume]

mfw rafa x3

[sturdy steeple]

a real historic moment

[dawn plume]

i can get to bar 3 once every like 30 runs lol

[heavy sinew]

bruh bruh bruh

[true tartan]

RA FA GA

(means like a strong wind in spanish)

[dawn plume]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq15XzAdJ60 this video is oldddd but this is still the closest i've gotten

[heavy sinew]

Ráfaga violenta

[dawn plume]

[dawn plume]

wtf

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq15XzAdJ60

[heavy sinew]

Oop nvm

[dawn plume]

ok there

funniest part is i dont even think this run was using the best grid

[true tartan]

Volo saying "Too powerful"

against Latios

haha...

[heavy sinew]

Surf dodge would've been epic

[dawn plume]

most runs die to surf

the bar 2 surf that is

i think i gotta eat a draco meteor so surf comes out later on bar 2

thats what ive been doing anyways

still have to actually DODGE surf

[heavy sinew]

A soul for a soul

[bitter gate]

cries in ghost main

Iono (Fall 2024) & Flutter Mane
Shauntal (Fall 2024) & Frosslass

also will skippingmud get spoiled with another rival unit again? stay tuned!

[kind imp]

i think he counts lear

so dc barry and l.lear already

[true tartan]

Lear Lodge :T

yep

[bitter gate]

he usually gets a limited unit on top of that

let's see if he keeps the streak

[river cliff]

I hope we finally get Lear's Krookadile

[rocky oasis]

meh seasonals aint my thing this time

I do LIKE flutter mane but im out of gems...

[heavy sinew]

I like both of the seasonals

[blissful rose]

Lear in lodge lmao, don't have base him.

[heavy sinew]

But I'm still after Steven

[twin aurora]

Same, of all Pasio theme units I don’t have only OG Lear lol

[bitter gate]

shauntal makes me cry

I want her

[heavy sinew]

Same

[twin aurora]

Azelf, Registeel, Cobalion

Seems fine

I forgot, Azelf is sleepchainable/flinchable?

[kind imp]

yes

[dense leaf]

how easy would it be to auto farm for cookies in this one?

[twin aurora]

Le balanced rotation

[tiny hedge]

Registeel/Azelf/Cobalion

[mint osprey]

REal

[bitter gate]

Oh, that's a new rotation

thta's cool

[stuck mantle]

Datamine out?

[twin aurora]

Yeah

[pliant glen]

3 Gauntlets within 1 year of release buddy lol rip bozo

[stuck mantle]

Iono? Wow

Shauntal iono fall

Lear lodge

But you need have wat lear pokefair or mf?😂

[twin aurora]

Me when 0 gems and my favorite mon from Paldea is released

🙁

[kind imp]

lg 17 cookie should be Healthy Healing

[river cliff]

Wow tech on SS Acerola sucks so bad

[bitter gate]

the pitfalls of being considered too OP too early

[heavy sinew]

Release him from hell

[bitter gate]

whoes posting this lel

[twin aurora]

NC Calem, Tierno, another ones says hi

[river cliff]

Meanwhile SS Mina...

[stuck mantle]

Alot exr but most are bad one

[stuck mantle]

Adamdialga on yt

[bitter gate]

everyone be shitting on SS Mina before her UB war crimes

and now she reaps the benefits

"hmm, Mina was the least popular tapu. Let's buff that"

[stuck mantle]

Gloria alt sup is nice

[river cliff]

Tech on Diantha I'll take for sure, she needs all the damage she can get

Lillie's expansion isn't anything crazy but it'll make her a lot more consistent at least

[stuck mantle]

And next sprint field unit

We get 3 now

[rocky oasis]

ss mina isnt bad

[stuck mantle]

Full info

[river cliff]

Lodge Lear is actually pretty awesome, he's going to have some ridiculous solos

[rocky oasis]

not what i wanted but it def seems to help some of her tanking issues

[stuck mantle]

Flint ex

😂

[rocky oasis]

what.

acc debuffs huh

[stuck mantle]

Soo many rerun banners

[rocky oasis]

and power play

[stuck mantle]

Who?

[blissful rose]

Lillie's expanded grid so ass.

[rocky oasis]

new barry

[pliant glen]

Wise Entry and Sentry Entry are pretty decent but it would've been nice to get like +1 in each for a Trainer's Move

[blissful rose]

Our LG banner?

So much value there.

[river cliff]

Yeah that's nuts

[kind imp]

seems like a lite olympia

[river cliff]

True that

I'll take that for a lodge pair any day

[bitter gate]

finally adding new LG fairs lmao

[copper helm]

What’s the verdict on Sprint Ss Mina and Tech Bulurola?

[stuck mantle]

Tech is bad sprint is ok

[copper helm]

I thought Mina should’ve got field

[stuck mantle]

They got zone on sync

In grid

[heavy sinew]

Time to grind fellas

[stuck mantle]

So never happend

[blissful rose]

The Kabu, SS Roxie and SS N banner also quite tempting since I don't have any of them.

So many triple Pokefair banners this month

[rocky oasis]

below 3/5 ss mina has the problem where her partner can barely make use of her zone bc shes already hogging the first sync so the sprint def helps me a lot

[dense spire]

Sprint is the best for her

Can’t believe they shafted acerola like that lol

[twin aurora]

Wait, this LG is for two weeks??

[rocky oasis]

what.

[twin aurora]

I hope there is a mistake in dates (from 9 to 23 oct)

[tender horizon]

Shauntal solo Moltres lets go

Also i dont like seeing Regi and Azelf in the same arena

[rocky oasis]

if it is shorter im not gonna bother tryharding

[tender horizon]

Tech is good for us cus she can solo lg easier

[median swan]

2-week lg

[blissful rose]

2 weeks? Eww.

[pearl beacon]

For real?

Back into LG4 timings?

[kind imp]

*lg3 timing, lg4 was the longest lg, bc they had to reset it since uxie was bugged

[pearl beacon]

The most profitable one

[worthy horizon]

more reason to stick to throwing out 100 non-trios and calling it

[bitter gate]

is it actually two weeks lol

[toxic kernel]

So, do we predict any new 14/14 unit?

[bitter gate]

there won't be unless Giacomo fsr

gets Moltres

it's a better of flinch luck there

Legendary Gauntlet
Start: 09-10-2024 06:00:00
End: 23-10-2024 06:00:00

wow it's actually just that short, lol

[stuck mantle]

Since 23 is ranked dc🤣

No time for lg too many events

[tender horizon]

Giacomo cant get Tornadus i bet

[kind imp]

it'd be funny if alt gloria gets it

[stuck mantle]

She never beat moltres

Even if she avoid all move sync kill

[bitter gate]

he has two piercing blows moves so it depends

but yeah, Shauntal and Giacomo will be the main LG killers

Shauntal probably gets 11

if she wants

[stuck mantle]

I get both pokefairs 5/5 so will test it hard:)

[bitter gate]

only capped by Regirock

and Torn

[tender horizon]

The 2 uses you mean?

[bitter gate]

yes

also i do think Shauntal also beats Moltres

or at least she should

[tender horizon]

[bitter gate]

she has MPR on hail after all and all the dodges debuffs and durability to play with

[tender horizon]

Shauntal can moltres ye but idk if she debuffsa fast enuf

[bitter gate]

so it's mostly Torn + Regirock

[sturdy steeple]

Send feedback

[bitter gate]

random -3

[tender horizon]

Freeze everymove with powder snow

[bitter gate]

pretty good

[tender horizon]

Ye shes a step up from Viola

[pearl beacon]

We sent feedback and they cut one week to give us to plan

[kind imp]

can ss mina get azelf now?

she has stalwart on grid
iirc she can't outdamage healing sun vs moltres, it'd be funny if she outhealed coba

[pearl beacon]

It's time to send threats

[tender horizon]

Dont think sprint changes anything

[sturdy steeple]

They cut a week because of the stupid super sparring

[tender horizon]

Random trios go

[sturdy steeple]

Send feedback on that lol

[rocky oasis]

correction: uxie was bugged. I have a clear from that particular LG

[pearl beacon]

Iirc his status shield wasn't wearing off so on bar3 you couldn't status him

[rocky oasis]

speaking of feedback... wtf do i do w/ this

[tender horizon]

Yalls, i can candy from 2/5 to 3/5 either sc barry or NC Marnie for this lg, who should get it

[worthy horizon]

yeah i got that and was very surprised to see it as an f2p

[true tartan]

read and proceed with what it says?

[bitter gate]

how do people decide on these invitations again

[true tartan]

go ask DeNA

[bitter gate]

I do find it interesting at least, but take the opportunity

[true tartan]

[bitter gate]

if you're up for it

cgz tho!

[tender horizon]

Stdk u in the Pasio Cafe too?

[true tartan]

nope

[rocky oasis]

I thought everyone got it

[tender horizon]

Oh

[true tartan]

I know people that are in

[tender horizon]

Haha this has existed for years

[bitter gate]

no lol, they just send it to people

[true tartan]

I am already "tired" by updating the app

[bitter gate]

they pick by some form

[pearl beacon]

Go tell them abt how awesome would be 4 weeks of LG 📈

[stuck mantle]

Tell them give us more free gems

Less banners🤣

[tender horizon]

Any tips anyoneeee

[pearl beacon]

Btw yeah, accept that, try send better feedback

[tender horizon]

I feel barry for registeel? Idk

[bitter gate]

i know it's not influenced by spendings

some completely f2p people also go there

[true tartan]

is just random

[bitter gate]

and it's not influenced by "popularity" or "contribution' either

Zinfogel tried to apply for partner and failed, I think

so yeah

it's just a randomizer

possibly to manage bias, idk

[stuck mantle]

I apply for partner😘 hope get it

40k free gems is nice🤣

[rocky oasis]

sent a inquiry

free gems? what?

[pearl beacon]

Where

[stuck mantle]

Yes if you are partner get 40k each month

[true tartan]

afaik, partners (not cafe members), are given some gems

don't know the amount, but that's about it

[bitter gate]

but they're expected to continually content hash

or you'll have it revoked or something

[pearl beacon]

Gimme gimme

[true tartan]

is their payment haha

[bitter gate]

make guides etc

[true tartan]

I made pomatools, where are my gems dena?!

guess it is not content creation

[pearl beacon]

True

[sturdy steeple]

If you're not an actual YouTuber making overview content then don't expect to get partnered lol

[bitter gate]

and even if you are

you won't always get it

[sturdy steeple]

Mhm

[bitter gate]

For a while only poce got it I think

[stuck mantle]

Its about make vids about game its all. How dena give partner its big mystery:) i now some one wat have 10 vids and got partner:)

[true tartan]

let's see what the community thinks of this move!

[bitter gate]

who else is a known partner

[true tartan]

deletes pomatools

[sturdy steeple]

Explodes

[toxic kernel]

Salamence

[bitter gate]

JP: 'don't care, don't care, still don't care'

[pearl beacon]

Location matters

[sturdy steeple]

No

[true tartan]

pocemon, chikinfit, Salamence

[bitter gate]

oh, mence got it, cool

[true tartan]

~~50% of pomatools userbase is from japan
~~

[stuck mantle]

Yeap they pref eu and usa canada partners

Not asia

[bitter gate]

I thought they hated the leak stuff despite your options to hide it

but yeah, touche

[pearl beacon]

Ask for it, free gems to found experimentation

[pearl beacon]

Poce making video abt datamines

[bitter gate]

most content creators also don't use it like we often do

talking about japanese community

not poce

they hate leaks in general

[true tartan]

yep

some do get the no spoiler mode in the app

which is why many suggest the app for checking stuff

funny thing? the person who asked for the no spoiler option is from the english community

[stuck mantle]

So jp not want now wat units will be add in game?

[true tartan]

some people don't want to know the new units

yes

or content, or anything

[stuck mantle]

Hmm sound strange for me🤣

[bitter gate]

rofl

[bitter gate]

cultural rule

[stuck mantle]

I pref new wat happend in advance

Since some times you have gems deals like now up and stock in

Then pay more latter

[sturdy steeple]

People are different

[true tartan]

so they enjoy different things

:T

[pearl beacon]

Ah @true tartan noticed in the changelog the wrong Janine is getting EX

[true tartan]

ah

should be Ariados lol

no probs haha

will update it over the weekend

not doing it today

[tender horizon]

Ye u deserve it

[mint osprey]

Let me guess. Top 100 in event gets these invites?

[bitter gate]

nah, completely random f2ps who just play CS have gotten invites before

[rocky oasis]

I was top 500 in dragon hse lol

[mint osprey]

I guess it's sparsely distributed

[bitter gate]

saem

[sturdy steeple]

They want a range of players

[mint osprey]

Better write down "Give more gems"

[bitter gate]

I guess, but do we know any pasio cafe people around

[true tartan]

yeah

you do :T

you just don't know

[rocky oasis]

I sent a inquiry to customer support

who knows how this goes

[true tartan]

is not hard haha

[river cliff]

I got one too, I wonder what prompted them to send all these out

[bitter gate]

usually they do so during post anni season no

also fall caitlin gets crit now fsr?

that's kinda cute, I guess

[rocky oasis]

from cookie?

she already gets vigilance so i guess she can afford it

[bitter gate]

from the cookie, yeah

probably the most influential cookie I've ever seen on a unit

unless there's another one I'm forgetting

[rocky oasis]

there was the geeta debuff one

[bitter gate]

there's that, but she had ruthless toxin anyway

[sturdy steeple]

V guzma literally needs his cookie

[kind imp]

sc selene got discombulate 4 iirc

[river cliff]

Rosa's was pretty good

[rocky oasis]

huh wow

i dont have him so i guess im holding onto the cookie forever

[river cliff]

You never know when the daily scout might bless you

[tender horizon]

If i get variety guzma from daily ima die

Useless

[chrome halo]

Smh where is Raikou

@errant moon hey bestie can you change the title

[pliant glen]

Haven't even made my LG16 video yet procrastinating hard on it

[errant moon]

I can gimme a sec

[pliant glen]

Also 2 week gauntlet is YIKES how the hell does DC Leardboard even marginlly overlap with Gauntlet (it doesn't, it really doesn't)

[errant moon]

Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)

[chrome halo]

Much thanks

[bitter gate]

hey at least they only made DC last a week

if they made it last two weeks like LG

lmao

[pliant glen]

DC Events always have been one week

For being the best gamemode Gauntlet is not respected by DeNA really

[bitter gate]

subjective

content is too polarized at the moment, and you have people praising and hating modes left right and centre

most people who see PM as a short grind hate the grind modes, which ironically LG itself is the only "grind mode"

while people who value long content like LG but hate everything else

[tender horizon]

Objectively LG is less popular than CS

[bitter gate]

arguably as popular as UB, and DC also has its own fandom

least populra mode outside of rally is HS for sure

[blissful rose]

Despise HSE

I would rather they do DC rank every month to replace this ass mode

[bitter gate]

HSE is literally improper DC, esesntially

takes longer, requires higher specificty

argubaly not as rewarding as DC in itself

DC is short, sweet, but also retains specificity and variance problems

but will also run out of steam fastre than HSE

[tender horizon]

I think HSE is funner than DC

At least as an LG player u also get to optimise there

DC is just sing and stun spore festival

[bitter gate]

It's less linear and forces you to adapt, DC has become a lot more linear as people figure out and there's some reroll variance you have to work on

but you also often lack agency in HSe

because it's a probably the biggest whale mode

specificity is at its highest there

at least if you want to top chart it

[tender horizon]

Ye but breaking your personal record is also fine

[bitter gate]

regional HSE personally might be more helpful

[bitter gate]

HSE often is not indicative of growth, it's indicative of lock and key availabilities

DC and the other modes promote growth more than HSE ever will

[tender horizon]

Honestly they can do HSE and DC every month , i welcome extra gems

[bitter gate]

LG is indicative of growth but the danger of LG is that

the playtime extends exponentially with unit options

[tender horizon]

LG isnt abiut growth, its about collecting trash units plus solos

[bitter gate]

because we only get more and more units but the mode stays the same

and they haven't even bothered to test us with say, a Cress one yet

that might actually force awkward building

well, record and refinement is gworth, the issue is LG also has a variance that only DC and HS has due to playtime

which is time sink + tenacity

[toxic kernel]

Can we have ultimate battle gauntlet next?

[bitter gate]

it's not as P2W as DC or HSE, but it demands the most time out of any mode in a game that people usually don't want to spend too much time on

and is thus comparatively unpopular

[karmic willow]

Yup

That"s why i am seriously considering speedrunning next time lawl

Yo we got early drop

[bitter gate]

Early drop?

[karmic willow]

on the

lg info

anyways

what's the worst one this time again?

i am still utterly disgusted by registeel

[worthy horizon]

no clear worst this time

[karmic willow]

will probably do the

sc rosa solo on steel this time

last time i didn't have my +10E

but damn no sawyer suckkksssss

also

rip egg scyther

you were a good striker

but man speed buffs are just

too valuable to NOT use it

[bitter gate]

Higher specificity on cob

But even then it's not that bad

[karmic willow]

yeah

[bitter gate]

Everything is sleepable too

[tender horizon]

Its Regi becayse we have many status units

[bitter gate]

@worthy horizon remind me again what you did cobalion with on lodge lance again

[karmic willow]

ugh

another

team that doesn't need ss mina

should have picked chase

why is every unit i pick suck lol

XD

[bitter gate]

I wish every unit I picked sucked

Lol

[karmic willow]

like

SS Gio

Ny Clair

they were of 0 use last hse

XD

should have picked Victor and Rose

Rose would be useful next HSE

and for future Terrakion / Moltress Shinanigans

[worthy horizon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZ_KMtNhsAI

that one

[karmic willow]

this looks

neat

[bitter gate]

Thx

[inner turret]

CAITLIN W LETS GOO

[chrome halo]

Rare Caitlin W

[karmic willow]

holy hell she's busted

alright

in your opinions

which one is worse

registeel or azelf?

i mean you tackle both the same way

[gleaming cypress]

flint EX

does that get him any solos lol

[karmic willow]

WHAT

REAL?

[inner turret]

yeah

[karmic willow]

let's... not go

[gleaming cypress]

people are gonna be hyped for wattson all month now bc manetric in datamine

💀

[karmic willow]

okay so

ss hilbert

which one is a cheap partner for invested?

also

mannn

lodge dawn

solo or azelf duo?

[worthy horizon]

i'm a bit more afraid of azelf than registeel but azelf might be easier to flinch/sleep through

less recent practice and more rng bs

[bitter gate]

the fatigue would come from overpreparing

there are some minute things you can adjust

Eg Rose registeel solo and Lysandre Azelf solo

Lodge Rose vs Registeel is a bit of a pipe dream, but I'm pretty sure I can duo it with an eggmon unless someone already figured it out

[worthy horizon]

lysandre on registeel would be more efficient for the streak but i have to do the azelf solo out of pride

[bitter gate]

I honestly don't know if I'll even commit to this UB

[worthy horizon]

and to feel like i'm "getting use" out of my extra investment

[bitter gate]

I might get employed soon after all

but if I'm not too busy then maybe

[vital ibex]

wait hello this is actually insane

[bitter gate]

It's pretty big yeah

probably the biggest cookie buff ever made

[vital ibex]

the 3 caitlin havers rejoicing rn

(i am one of the 3)

does morty also get a cookie

for searing surge 9 perhaps

[karmic willow]

maaan

Naomi and Lodge rika

both want acerola to some extent on registeel

gonna give priority for @sturdy steeple first then i guess

[tender horizon]

Omgad altho no one has the time to reset for this lel

[tender horizon]

Regi

Azelf gets all the special defense debuffers

And Regi the physical i guess

[karmic willow]

they are

literally the same

you're doubling the teams you need

regi is a bit more specific though

[tender horizon]

Technically u can win Azelf without debuffing the defenses

[worthy horizon]

as if people aren't planning many solos with many times worse an rng requirement

[karmic willow]

but yeah i get your point

[worthy horizon]

it's not bad

compared to solos

[mint osprey]

DeNA to SS Acerola : You're good enough, so eat this Tech cake

[karmic willow]

honestly

i like it

either sprint or tech is fine

tech allows you to solo quicker

[mint osprey]

I'd prefer Sprint instead of more damage

[karmic willow]

either or really

[bitter gate]

unironically that's kind of the motivation with how they buff units sometimes

I see a trend with most units who get the bad cakes and expansions

and they were always seen as very good/popular in some period

and that drives perceptions that they shouldn't overbuff

you see it with Iris, you see it with the Lillie expansion

[tender horizon]

The hell, Brawly soloed Registeel

[bitter gate]

who did it @tender horizon

what the heck

[karmic willow]

so

is lysandre solo

easier on azelf or regi

[tender horizon]

Rednhoho

Btw for those of you who did 3/5 exr Rei solo Registeel the last time it was around

Was it reset heavy?

[karmic willow]

i threw in support machamp so

idk

works for me

oh dang riley solo

i am not doing that

[tender horizon]

Thts also a duo with Riley though right

[karmic willow]

i completely forgot

[lost juniper]

No. Even with 2/5 it's not too bad

[worthy horizon]

regi didn't need energy investment

[karmic willow]

it's so hard

like

to balance

some clears are easier on one thing

[bitter gate]

I mean the easy thing to do is to first filter all status users to Cob, then filter the Azelf and Registeel specific things

before touching units that clear all three

[karmic willow]

yeah

[bitter gate]

eg a very clear Lysandre/Rose split on Azelf/Registeel

[karmic willow]

it's hard to tell sometimes like

Marnie

[bitter gate]

I have to pick between Registeel and Azelf on Anabel

[karmic willow]

it's funny that

all the teams that CAN handle registeel

can handle azelf easily

because extra damage

not the other way around

[mint osprey]

How rough is Registeel? That's the LA I have least knowledge out of the 3

[karmic willow]

it's annoying i'll tell you that

huge damage reduction across the board

if you can't debuff it

[mint osprey]

At least not as annoying as ün ün ün

[karmic willow]

sleep cheese is useless bar 3 so you must kill it before it kills you

[tender horizon]

Ok!

[karmic willow]

and

para

bar 1 para sucks

[tender horizon]

Im doing this lg with my self developed lg team planner

[karmic willow]

half bar 1 got flinches

and he's the downfall of most players

because no MG2 can screw over a LOT of things

[tender horizon]

And im doing it the other way round, first i assign the units that have the lowest utility for these 3

So now i am asking where Cheryl should go

Because shes not gonna like those physical syncs anywhere

[karmic willow]

to be frank

azelf

[tender horizon]

Ye probablh

Azelf flinch team

[mint osprey]

I think I will just use sleep on Azelf

[karmic willow]

now i need

[mint osprey]

With OG Serena as exception. She will handle Cobalion

[karmic willow]

something to go with ryuki

his burn is pretty nice

oh clair

clair + ss kris = cobalion but

isn't it a bit... overkill?

anni skyla

probably azelf for guaranteed win

[mint osprey]

Not like either can solo, unless you want to try eggmon over Clair

[tender horizon]

I did this before and i can tell u it isnt ovsrkill at all

Its a perfect duo

A fun one too

[karmic willow]

aight

bet

forget ss kris on the other ones anyways

[bitter gate]

I'm pretty sure there's a cheaper method to Clair than SS Kris

Afaik I think I did piers or Rachel before

But my clair is fully invested fwiw

[karmic willow]

i think it was rachel

otherwise 0 speed

oh god

speaking of rachel

I did Rachel + Raihan on Azelf

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

that stuff was HARD to create

now i need to replicate the dang thing

well it should be easier later on once i get my hands on that EXR

30% flinch gaming that was

[karmic willow]

ughhhh

ss silver

[karmic willow]

naomi did solo registeel with kriss

Xd

[upper lance]

See Registeel on the Lg :
Well, looks like No LG try hard for me this time.

[gleaming cypress]

3 moderately hard LG in terms of solo count

nothing too insane nothing too easy

[upper lance]

This one will be quiet hard

Registeel and Azelf are really punishing

[karmic willow]

@worthy horizon can the big boy ss lysandre +10E duo cobalion with quaxly?

[worthy horizon]

probably

[karmic willow]

burn debuff is useful

but i doubt quaxly lives long enough

unless you dodge the

stone edge

DAMMIT

i forgot

[dawn plume]

fuck u mean there was a datamine last night

[karmic willow]

if i do Rosa + jasmine i lose access to Helena + Jas on coba

[heavy sinew]

lmao

[karmic willow]

wut so funny

[bitter gate]

which jasmine

[karmic willow]

base jas

[bitter gate]

because I'm pretty sure Jasmine + some egg paralysis mon can do cob also

But I guess registeel matchup is better

[karmic willow]

yeah but i kinda need more firepower since eggmon dies first

[bitter gate]

Cob isn't that strong where your eggmon can't take punishment enough for Jasmine to reach the last bar

at least a 5* electabuzz should be fine due to regen

but wanting to prioritize registeel is valid

noting that her azelf matchup is also pretty good because she blocks drops

[karmic willow]

yeah

she's good on all 3

the thing is

i coulda sworn

Rosa can get carried by like

idk, an eggmon of some kind

it was quaxly i believe

but then i'm kind of wanting to wait for @worthy horizon to test if quaxly can carry an entire max investment ss lysandre before continuing

also zinnia sucks

but she is viable on azelf

[karmic willow]

zinnia base + winona can be done by @silent shell

[karmic willow]

what's the grid again on ss lys

[karmic willow]

and yeah i half expected this to be a thing lol. might need a video on it tho

[worthy horizon]

for this one i used this

probably there's something better but that's sufficient

ww3, unbending

[raven crane]

Not at all.

[worthy horizon]

upload in progress

[heavy sinew]

Nah

[dawn plume]

wait azelf and registeel in the same gauntlet is extremely wack??

[worthy horizon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW91b2W0pRE very possible quaxly is overkill here but idk

pretty likely i'll just end up running it

[shy sinew]

man it really is LG9 but DeNA has a Registeel obsession

[dawn plume]

damn that lg banner is good though

i have all those units but its a strong banner

finally rei and alt gloria rerun

[chrome halo]

Hopefully i get Giacomo early so i have a decent shot at chasing for Rei and Alt Gloria

Would be nice if i happened to get Hilbert dupes too

[dawn plume]

clavell seems really gimmicky

but also has evasion lul

[bitter gate]

Clavell can probably do quite a lot of lgs

Sync Regen alone helps alongside eva

[tender horizon]

Im probably just doing Raihan Ingo (2/5) duo ahain

[karmic willow]

yeah

raihan is STRONG

if you give him enough support

[karmic willow]

nah bro it's enough

you might be overestimating ss lysandre otherwise

[heavy sinew]

What do I even do with a 1/5 Raihan

He's just

[karmic willow]

but dang no grid i might have to figure it out myself

[heavy sinew]

There

[karmic willow]

azelf

[worthy horizon]

but like i got it first try when i put on unbending

[karmic willow]

raihan flinches and deals split damage

[worthy horizon]

and i barely knew what i was doing

[karmic willow]

i think i'll keep it

probably 10E not needed

but that debuff IS needed

i swear to god

i saw somewhere

tech electabuzz can carry ss red

or some weaker eggmon

no wait it was some other eggmon

[shy sinew]

Clavell does have my favorite passive (doubled stat raises), actually I think the only pair I’m excited about pulling but I’ll still probably get all of them since I’m rolling into the month with a 50k paid cushion

[karmic willow]

@worthy horizon if i have to gamble

i'd say

if you wanna save quaxly

maybe quaxly + eusine on azelf

[worthy horizon]

no eusine so i'd pretty much have to make quaxly work with like clair

probably not happening

[karmic willow]

oh no

it is SO not happening

clair doesn't deal that much damage to begin with

even max invested

you still have to fish for para

OH MY GOD

I JUST REMEMBERED

HOW IS TINA AND GRANT A THING ON COBA

[lost juniper]

Tina has burn

And Grant can nuke I guess

[karmic willow]

yeah but

not the best for this time i think

Dana + Lodge Calem is

unexpected

[tender horizon]

Good with a flinch tank

[tender horizon]

Mmm

Good team indeed

[karmic willow]

i mean

heavily reliant on

mpr

and super freebe

i don't think you'd like that

also my dana is being planned for

azelf

to go with base noland

it's a maelmc run

[worthy horizon]

grant happens to be strong enough to skip bar 2 half off just cakewalk and cs2

[karmic willow]

and i despise the azelf matchup much more

[worthy horizon]

looks a lot better than it sounds if you watch the video

[karmic willow]

yeah i remember

doing that clear

i was kinda shocked at my old notes

but um

should i even consider it now

like grant is much better flinching for a cynthia duo on azelf

base cynthia*

[worthy horizon]

i didn't record my stuff back then and i wasn't hitting 100 either

but yeah

[karmic willow]

oh boy

leon

not gonna do the stupid solo

so

it's gonna be tech fuecoco at this rate

[modest oar]

Hi all, sorry if this has been answered before

Is the best to get 2* Crunchy Lucky Cookies by rinsing and repeating Hall 11 in Battle Villa? I want to take solos seriously this time around

[karmic willow]

i mean

do you believe in your own luck?

if you do then reseting for the 1* is

faster

[shy sinew]

Yes, since it’s the only infinite source. You might find more success with the 1* cookies only grinding the first 5 halls

[modest oar]

I just tried it and I can skip everything and just do 11

[karmic willow]

i forgot how skipping works so

good luck

[shy sinew]

I don’t believe skipping is sustainable unless you finish all 30 floors

[gleaming cypress]

what do you guys use for rally grinding

if you even do

[shy sinew]

mix red + SS Acerola back when I was grinding

[gleaming cypress]

villa*

hm

[modest oar]

It says it guarantees 1 single 2* crunchy, it looks like I can battle, reset and go hit it again

Or are you saying that sounds like a big bad grind

[shy sinew]

yes hall 11 guarantees a crunchy cookie, but it’s the fact that you can access hall 11 that is potentially not always true

[modest oar]

Omg what I might reset and lose progress?!

OHHHHHH I SEE

Omg

[shy sinew]

hall 11 requires that you skip to it or that you clear hall 10 first, the latter takes a long time and the former requires you clear hall 30 on your previous attempt to skip to a hall of your choice

[modest oar]

Thank you
