Already planned so many registeel teams
#Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)
karmic willow
I legit don't have enough proper answers to azelf
Then again
I still have my sleepers ehe
This thing is gonna go down
My gawd
So many bp clemont teams
But they are all on coba
dawn plume
yeah pretty good
1/5 marnie
i think unbending or enlightenment might be better on falkner but whatever
uses this grid for falkner which is super unorthodox but marnie needs the accuracy more than air slash flinches
karmic willow
yeah pretty good
not gonna lie
this makes me want to do
Red + Gladion on coba again
river cliff
Hm I think I may use that instead. Now I just need to find a new partner for lodge silver
karmic willow
either
red + gladion
or
double commit
Gladion Falkner
and let Marnie cope with someone else
I am seriously thinking taking Variety Rachel out for a spin
dawn plume
oh no
river cliff
I'm using her with Clair on cobalion
dawn plume
idk i just dread using v rachel
karmic willow
anyone else with speed + flinch?
anyone remember?
dawn plume
like team speed or self speed
karmic willow
team speed
so far I only remember Hilbert left
and even the's busy
idk if i should even do hilbert and grimsley again
i got ptsd from that clear
the duo sucks on registeel so
maybe zelf?
let grimsley nuke past half bars

@sturdy steeple what's your plan on ittt

plan on what
sturdy steeple
oh i forgot about that one
might do it again idk

Not as bad as I thought
Gauge is less, less horrid
36'ish wincons on azelf

WHY THE HELL DID I GET PARALYZED
Stupid ass thunder has a 100% para rate ffs
But yeah @sturdy steeple this works for your lana
karmic willow
Mine doesn't have impervious
I hate that someone i know would argue "just don't get hit"
but yeah
it sucks wihtout impervious
lana ran ft2
@sturdy steeple if you like to rely on flinch luck then do try this
azelf never reached sync and I healed like crazy
Can't be worse than moltres, right?

Lol how did that even happen
I guess somehow he became the target of his tm? Sure seems like an upgrade to me

that’s a pretty critical error how the hell does that even happen
they won’t fix this for at least 2 months
stuck mantle
Nobody use him only amaura. So nobody now about it🤣
If not this post prob never discovered
dawn plume
this information must be shared
river cliff
It would have definitely been discovered as soon as someone used him in gauntlet
I hope they just leave it, it synergizes great with fortuitous
dawn plume
nah it would make regirock way harder
dawn plume
i’m trying to wrap my head around how tf this could have happened
like what line in the game’s code got messed up by this update that changed one pair’s tm into a completely different pair’s
send inquiries about this lol
river cliff
The trainer move says it changes his stats to become double the targets raised stats
He became the target of his trainer move somehow
So it didn't become Tates tm but functionally it is identical
dawn plume
lol you would think this would be a bigger issue but no one gaf
dawn plume
general poma community dont care that a 4 star gen pool from launch got their tm completely bugged

will is kind of
NOT someone
he was for a long time, the goat for f2p
and well, we in the lg community can certainly raise awareness about it

NOT someone
Lol
Hes one of the least useful units for any player
Imagine having to invest sync grids into him for him to be usable

That's every old general pool pair

He's the target of his own trainer move so it doubles his stats

This game needs more defensive oriented pairs
Like the amount of defensive passives we have are severely lacking
pearl beacon
Same, he's a menace
Attack spam, damage gimmick, debuffs and stupid strong bar1 sync
karmic willow
Forget haymaker
Give Steven friggin tough skin for once
A true defensive oriented pair
Would be smth like Alt Elio
Now THAT is a tanky boy
Should I even
Dream of SS Morty
Carrying an Eggmon?
Like fire strike eggmon
dawn plume
i had him carry lodge calem last cobalion rotation
lodge calem is horrible and needs the hard carry
karmic willow
Yoooo
This is huge
Yes I won bar 3
But like
It can skip half bar 1
Which is insane
pearl beacon
karmic willow
Ww3 is optimal but cs2 can make do with this
Rachel can be done at 1/5
If you can get lucky with flinches
But yeah it kills fast enough
And thus
The search for Clair's partner continues

The amount of pairs that self buff +4 sp atk/atk and +2 crit at base is crazy

2 tm and maxed out
Oh right nvm

Is the ss diantha solo on azelf still bad with the exr?

Hop can easily duo with any egg paralyzer

Higher investment usually makes any solo easier

If you can get lucky with flinches
Dude u needa stop sayinf that things can be done at 1/5 when u did the clear in 3/5 
Its possible but not feasible

Idk what else to do with Rosa
tender horizon
Idk what else to do with Rosa
This is very good honestly
Rosa can probably do azelf better
river cliff
It might be better to take advantage of her personal ls and stalwart on one of the other stages though, but the physical moves are rough
tender horizon
Maybe Azelf with a flincher
river cliff
She might be able to get away with stoic on registeel
tender horizon
Still a waste of her lucky skill
tender horizon
Idk what else to do with Rosa
What if you did the same but with BP Erika
I wonder
river cliff
I don't think she can heal enough lol
tender horizon
Stall damage and apply poison after half bars

+1 team sp def after every action

Wait that's goated

Weak to flying I think that's the play

Azelf doesnt crit except the swifts and bar 3 cheese
So shes still seems best on Azelf
Maybe with an Attack debuffer even
Pryce and Rosa duo Azelf?
But Pryce dies
Ugh

I'm not confident that she can outpace the defense drops

I still haven't gotten a single 3 passive psyduck

does Hypno need 3 passives
worthy horizon
third passive is troublemaker which you can cover with a lucky skill
not sure how much value you can get out of other lucky skills
chrome halo
lemme see if it has good gauge management
worthy horizon
also second is aggrav which is even less necessary
pearl beacon
I'm actually keeping a 1 passive
I fear aggravation/confusion can be on the way, but need to test
worthy horizon
yea even without going into mgr you could still use ft1 to top off speed which i did a couple gauntlets ago

It needs 2 phones
Start the convo normally then put your phone offline
Interact until the convo drops (it will give you an error message)
If you're happy with the result, simply reconnect
If not, close the app and launch poma in the other phone and do that again.
You can jump between phones that way

Does it absolutely require two phones

Kind of a hassle, but good to know even lodge has a tech

it is def a hassle but i respect the grind
and yeah i had a feeling lodge lear would do good
best lodge tech since serena i wanna say

I don't think you really want to spend two para units on the same clear

Now that's a good Azelf Duo

I don't think you really want to spend two para units on the same clear
Doesnt matter if i have excess

You can't freeze stall on steel bar 3

True, but I think Naomi being at the top of the early leaderboards drew a lot of attention to building that way
Especially since a lot of people look there for stealing teams

When you watch top 5 teams, there aren't a lot of 2v1 done here

First you need luck its mean alot top jp need not play then have chance for top1. Since they always do some crazy teams. Its hard win vs them. And need like soligas have all units in game realy invested too max
Then have chance
Even he lost last time have more units . Wat show how hard its get top spot luri try many times and never did and she is soo good

having the units is ONE thing
but yeah, not a lot of people would have time to waste for resets and so on

the absolute limits i know
errant plume
If you don't use a Defense buffer, you kinda want Stoic ahah
karmic willow
i still can't believe i made it to the end in testing
karmic willow
If you don't use a Defense buffer, you kinda want Stoic ahah
yeahhh
but still
it's more like a damage race3
because N is NOT living long enough
errant plume
That's true
errant plume
You only want that tbh, the only crit that Coba does is Swift, otherwise just do damage
karmic willow
literally
but yeah
i'm still here looking for more
innovations like the ryuki clear
ryuki is only REALLY good for like, 2 arenas
dawn plume
coba does give itself +1 crit on the second half of bar 3 but you want it dead before it reaches that point anyways
karmic willow
so i'm taking this one with me
karmic willow
coba does give itself +1 crit on the second half of bar 3 but you want it dead b...
you wanna know the biggest brain play was?
dawn plume
and it used sacred sword which kills u anyways so it doesn’t matter lol
karmic willow
NOT using the Bolt Strike so that you don't para the Facade
at half bar 3
trust me, it was CRAZY
can't wait for gauntlet to start and record it
or maybe not because i might be lazy oomf
sturdy steeple
if youre aiming high, recording will be a big hinderance this gauntlet 
karmic willow
i'll cherry pick some like maybe Lodge Elesa and Viola
i kinda regret not popularizing the Mina and BP Surge one
but hey, i'm pretty sure i popularized Archie + Lodge Adaman on Cobalion
The thunder para cope
also kinda sucks to see
nobody using candice on azelf yet
and maybe
summer steven + lorelei
and raihan + rachel
@sturdy steeple i gotta ask tho
sometimes i feel like
i just stare at my sheet endlessly without coming up with smth
so how do i just "put smth down"
karmic willow
sometimes i do feel like
i regret this or that too much
like for example
fearow + ryuki
thank god I listened to @chrome halo
and realized that shell trap can allow you to gain a TON of gauge back as you wait for it to land
so now I got fearow + emmet
on steel
and that is, quite fun
which now opens the gate for SS Gio and Ingo to be a thing on ... something
god I regret picking SS Gio from the scout banner lmfao
graceful folio
Will be watching and admiring from now on instead of playing sadly, work and studies do be like that, sadge cuz i would have loved to give it a shot again to LG
karmic willow
Will be watching and admiring from now on instead of playing sadly, work and stu...
it's okay
i'm gonna put down my phone at some point too
i don't make a living out of this game after all
so
graceful folio
god I regret picking SS Gio from the scout banner lmfao
Iirc you took it mainly for the previous event right?
karmic willow
Iirc you took it mainly for the previous event right?
y e s
and i didn't use him at all
LMFAO
graceful folio
Man
karmic willow
should have been Rose for the next one
and that he counters a LOT of LG
wtz change for moltres
and so on
karmic willow
I need 49 teams left for Azelf
33 on Steel
31 on Coba
so most of my problems are in zelf
@errant plume are you going for the hardest solo possible on each character?
graceful folio
When in doubt sing a song to azelf and maybe it will like it and let you win for free 
karmic willow
like example would be sc selene on coba
errant plume
Nope because building around Cobalion is not hard, the real difficult are between Azelf/Registeel because there is a lot of overlap
karmic willow
i remember saying somewhere down along the line that
"every team you can do for registeel you can do for azelf"
errant plume
Basically yeah
karmic willow
I remember Akr0 saying "nah they have different win cons" and I do agree to a CERTAIN extent
but
In the end
If you flinch you can do both
graceful folio
karmic willow
if you sleep you can do both
Steel you can't sleep at bar 3 but you kind of basically win by then through sheer stalling and stats debuffing. Sleep is an auto win in my eye and you can't tell me otherwise
stuck mantle
Reggi sleep only too bar 3
graceful folio
Don't mind me, just learning and taking notes
karmic willow
and just reserve the stats drop for respective ones
Offensive for zelf and defensive for steel
errant plume
And I do believe that if you can drop Def or SpDef, you should go to Registeel
karmic willow
Reggi sleep only too bar 3
yeah but at that point you can kill it with a decent striker nuke by stalling relentlessly with sleepmon's sync
errant plume
Ok you resume my point better ahah
karmic willow
And I do believe that if you can drop Def or SpDef, you should go to Registeel
yeah that's why mewtwo is going for steel
@errant plume olympia on steel or zelf?
karmic willow
same
the thing about azelf is that he's just
REALLY annoying
his damage can kill a lot of "weak teams"
river cliff
Azelf would be so much easier if the sync was special
karmic willow
@errant plume oooh and how about guzma? i don't have v falkner
karmic willow
Azelf would be so much easier if the sync was special
yeah if only
river cliff
Three physical arenas kind of blows
errant plume
Guzma with SC Steven for now
karmic willow
Guzma with SC Steven for now
mine is stuck with wally... dang
tender horizon
Wtf am i doing with a 1/5 emma
karmic willow
Wtf am i doing with a 1/5 emma
speed buff for entire team
that's her best case scenario
tender horizon
Oh god so bad
karmic willow
she's not on azelf
that's for sure
coba she's useless after one sync
so it's easily steel, synchro healing, and something
until bar 3 comes
karmic willow
no
bar 3 is
a killer move
i'd say
Emma, Lisia and something that can debuff with screech
lisia is a pretty decent tank when it comes down to it
she lacks speed so, speed
she flinches
i can see @bitter gate going after me for making that team lmfao
but it is what it is
@errant plume oh right, how do you plan on using tech parasect?
and magneton
errant plume
Jasmine + Parasect on Coba
Bea + Magneton on Regi
karmic willow
bea and magneton works? I thought she'd die
tender horizon
Emma, Lisia and something that can debuff with screech
Cringe theme skills
graceful folio
Gotta appreciate the patience of all the LG knowledgeable people in here, answering to everyone and always staying kind
errant plume
Didn't plan her yet
karmic willow
fair, it's hard to slot her
karmic willow
i'm valuing jasmine a bit higher so
thinking her and something else
but that's certainly one helluva team
@errant plume final question before i hit the bed
Base Hop and Tech Kanga
those 2 are... weird
tender horizon
I can also just do Emma and SS Diantha fuo
Potion bot
Im gonna do Klara Lisia for artistic duo
errant plume
Hop + any para on Coba
Tech Kang + Fall Iris on Regi
tender horizon
Bea and magneton wtf
karmic willow
imma steal that
like theory wise
it works
oar9, def down and she's squishy so, flinch to solve the need to tank
aka the "Just don't get hit" brand of thinking
like this one
nice
graceful folio
Yo elek, a bit off topic but forgot all these days to congratulate you for your performance on the previous HS event.
Got your vid on my TL and watched it all, fire stuff!
errant plume
And since those 2 are squishy and don't want any mistake, not flinching Iron Defense Bar 1/2 is not a problem since you debuff both Def
karmic willow
@errant plume the emmet duo is funny trust
errant plume
Yo elek, a bit off topic but forgot all these days to congratulate you for your ...
Thank you very much, I appreciate it 
graceful folio
You're welcome bud, admiring your dedication between there and LG
errant plume
Just love endgame content so I try to do my best on all of them ahah
graceful folio
Much respect for your knowledge and patience
errant plume
<@119940459312185347> the emmet duo is funny trust
Oh thank you, I do have a 5/5 Emmet somehow
graceful folio
Just love endgame content so I try to do my best on all of them ahah
Me too, sadly I decided to drop the last endgame content I enjoyed after the 5th Anni fiasco
I'll appear here and there just to check on y'all
errant plume
That's understandable
graceful folio
It do be like that, I still very much enjoy interacting with everyone here and I care about many people here so
All good 😊
karmic willow
Oh thank you, I do have a 5/5 Emmet somehow

Hope you like going -2
or smth else if you don't want crit always XD
errant plume
You're always welcome here anyway
karmic willow
grid kinda builds itself
errant plume
I was thinking that ahah
karmic willow
hit and heal is kinda redundant
you don't get hit if you flinch anyways
not like he can die from one hit
even then, Guard
graceful folio
You're always welcome here anyway <:MallowHeart:648788663378903041>
❣️
karmic willow
@errant plume so many teams i know i can do, just lacking a unit or two so i might wanna ask your advice for filling in the gaps. Hope you can find time to answer them cuz bed for realsies
Like Tech Hitmontop on Steel
Noland with anything BUT Dana
Sup Scyther better or Strike on Zelf? He's good with Dana
Karen. Still Arbok or do we ignore the Dirty Fighting Entirely?
And Clair
so many of them are just
"there"
be me
place my win conditions
0 idea on what to follow up with XD
errant plume
Hilbert + Hitmontop on Regi
Didn't plan Noland yet
I prefer Strike Scyther on Azelf because there are a lot of other eggs that do what Supp Scyther can do, like instead of doing Steven + Supp Scyther on Regi, gonna be Dugtrio instead
Karen i'm not sure, maybe she'll be on Azelf to compensate my lack of teams on him
Lodge Wally + Clair on Coba
karmic willow
Hilbert + Hitmontop on Regi
Didn't plan Noland yet
I prefer Strike Scyther on Az...
yeah but karen is on azelf is one thing, but what's her partner is the question
i mean i do have SE2
lodge wally on clair is nice. i think i've seen enough people running that to decide for myself
graceful folio
do you already know how high you gonna aim for this lg iteration bud?
karmic willow
Hilbert and top on regi is a bit copium but i will try that
errant plume
Karen can duo Regi or Azelf with any Eggmon, Arcanine/Rapidash and so on
karmic willow
also steven is looking to be a bit more of an azelf clear for me tbh
i think i should have enough defense droppers
errant plume
do you already know how high you gonna aim for this lg iteration bud?
I just try to aim for the maximum possible, gonna try to do 300 wins ahah
karmic willow
like Bp Clemont, Fall Hilbert and so on
karmic willow
I just try to aim for the maximum possible, gonna try to do 300 wins ahah
not gonna lie this rotation is looking like THE rotation for 300 wins
graceful folio
jesus christ lmao, lemme know how it goes then, i am very interested
errant plume
jesus christ lmao, lemme know how it goes then, i am very interested
Gonna be a race since we only have 2 weeks tho 
true tartan
all 3 stages have over 100 solos
errant plume
300 solos ez 
true tartan
many are shared between lol
karmic willow
bugsy with who tho lmfao
don't tell me it's a flincher cuz i would seriously have to cope with that lmfao
graceful folio
Gonna be a race since we only have 2 weeks tho <:SeleneLul:611382187711004672>
gonna be cheering for you and waiting to know how is the progress going hahah
errant plume
errant plume
don't tell me it's a flincher cuz i would seriously have to cope with that lmfao
Guess what ? Bugsy + a flincher on Azelf
karmic willow
Guess what ? Bugsy + a flincher on Azelf <:MinaBreak:1103286730762760302>
eggmon or proper support then
i am scared of how frail he is belleba save me
graceful folio
trust the process
errant plume
tender horizon
Hilbert + Hitmontop on Regi
Didn't plan Noland yet
I prefer Strike Scyther on Az...
If clair Lodge wally works, what about Norman Lodge Wally
tender horizon
karmic willow
If clair Lodge wally works, what about Norman Lodge Wally
no crit
errant plume
Increasing your damage by 50% is quite good when you're using a weak unit
tender horizon
yeah but karen is on azelf is one thing, but what's her partner is the question
...
Im planning duo with Rika
Or a trio with trashmon tank
The lodge rika
river cliff
What's the play for Lillie? She might be ok with azelf if she had her grid expansion in time but eh
river cliff
Actually I wonder if she and volo could do something with mass unfortuitous drops
On regi
That steel weakness do be rough tho
karmic willow
i'd like to throw my hat in and say
Volo + Grant is a thing
cynthia at home
though, much, much less consistent
lost juniper
They meant Lodge Volo probably because sandstorm
karmic willow
yeah
lodge volo i mean
XD
though
base volo is
gonna be a big question for now
like he does a lot of things
but at the same time, not enough
idk what i'm saying XD
urghhhhh
being so good at debuffing everything
means you're gonna get cooked somewhere like SS Leaf is death on Azelf unless 3/5
i am probably doing Volo + Valerie
lost juniper
I think Base Volo is best on Azelf
lost juniper
means you're gonna get cooked somewhere like SS Leaf is death on Azelf unless 3/...
SS Leaf goes for steel because sundering 9
river cliff
lodge volo i mean
That is an interesting idea
karmic willow
SS Leaf goes for steel because sundering 9
mine is 5/5 from grass hse
i remember
getting her 3/5 from dailies when og banner dropped
then 4/5 from victory road
and candy for 5/5 because that attack drop is
hella fineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
lost juniper
getting her 3/5 from dailies when og banner dropped
I literally got Cynthia from 1/5 to 4/5 in like a week so yeah I get that. I was never this lucky again
karmic willow
i mean some say
bruno + v agatha on steel so
i can save ss leaf
@errant plume oh boy v agatha, what's the plan for this one
lost juniper
Why use her on Azelf
karmic willow
Why use her on Azelf
attack drops?
lost juniper
Psychic weak though
karmic willow
then again, she is a good steel pair so i need something to kill it before it kills leaf
karmic willow
Psychic weak though
yeah lol not my best take but i remember doing her + lodge elesa
but then of course
I did Lodge Elesa with viola carry
lost juniper
Elesa is fire weak
lost juniper
Flamethrower so yeah
karmic willow
those bug bites are PAINFUL
and viola can drop sp.atk
they are not that life threatening
especially with gear
you will live
lost juniper
OG Viola?
karmic willow
10%? 20%?
karmic willow
OG Viola?
yes
she lives til the end btw and i won
This is bar 3
yeah, she definitely lives alright
hype up can allow you to skip bar 2 entirely
errant plume
<@119940459312185347> oh boy v agatha, what's the plan for this one
Her and a nuker on Coba, Darach for example
karmic willow
Her and a nuker on Coba, Darach for example
isn't she also good on steel? maybe i'm wrong
also
darach is stuck with lodge gio for me
i seriously hate poison nukes
@errant plume so bruno with a sleeper of some kind?
you did do v agatha last time so, idk if i should do that
river cliff
Hm what to do with event oak...
karmic willow
Hm what to do with event oak...
he's not on azelf duty that's for sure
unless you have attack debuffer
then he's super okay
river cliff
I don't hate running him with Nanu somewhere
river cliff
Flag bearer and nanu is pretty fast + some leniency with healing
karmic willow
errant plume
isn't she also good on steel? maybe i'm wrong
You're not wrong, maybe I'll end up using her on Regi
And she buffs her Def/SpDef every turn, I forgot
errant plume
<@119940459312185347> so bruno with a sleeper of some kind?
Yessir
karmic willow
Yessir
I remember my good friend @silent shell
Saying that bruno can't do it bar 3
Let's just say
After a 71k nuke
I don't think he'd say that lol
karmic willow
Yessir
Honestly i don't know if i should
Like the problem here mainly is
You do damage ontype so
At least in my team building theory
Ontypes are able to win with an okay support
Sleep and flinch is reserved for wins you cannot win normally due to type weakness, or replace an expensive support
Like lodge sycamore
He is so going with agatha on azelf for example
Even though one azelf sync he is dead
errant plume
Don't see him not nuking Bar 3 with this for example
As long as he doesn't have SpDef buffs, -6 Def, enough Sync buffs should be enough
river cliff
Hm Morgan + Hau seems like it could work
river cliff
Might need to ex morgan for it to not suck tho, that or run stoic and avoid crits
river cliff
It's more that she needs extra defense
tender horizon
Arent you doing Morgan and Parasect?
tender horizon
Lucy Morgan
karmic willow
After seeing elek's suggestion
tender horizon
karmic willow
Lucy morgan is a pipe dream
tender horizon
Just Trap damage for first half of bar 1 idk
karmic willow
After seeing elek's suggestion
Like yeah hop can also do it with jasmine
But not a guaranteed para so
You might die from side damage
Which is a real problem
Jasmine's selfish heal works best with someone who can heal themselves
My only concern with Hau is
How often can he para
@errant plume so any new ideas for Ethan and Hau?
Ethan has his own burn so I don't wanna do Ethan and Drake again... And well, cloyster got taken
inner turret
ethan solo
errant plume
Weezing is here
river cliff
I might try Ethan + sandslash
