Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)

[flint skiff]

is arc lance capable of autoing registeel?

[vale garden]

I imagine

He can

[stuck mantle]

If you get flinch all time:)

[flint skiff]

mine is 1/5

[stuck mantle]

Then no way lol

[flint skiff]

i duo'ed with arc lance and drake

[karmic willow]

FUUUUUU YESSSSSSSS

[stuck mantle]

Then maybe

[karmic willow]

I hated this sleep chain duo

[stuck mantle]

Risky duo

Since can poison

[flint skiff]

i think i'll need a healer to make sure they live long enough

i can slap antitoxin on the tank

oh it has guaranteed crit doesn't it

[stuck mantle]

Regi no poison

Its coba can poison

Regi drop defs and crit

Half bars regi drop defs and bar 2/3 start crits

Plus regi can get para and half bar 1 and bar 3 flinch

[snow crescent]

Which legendary should I start with

[worthy horizon]

coba should be easiest if you have para or two other status

defense buffs and attack lowering are also very important but you won't need to worry about special attacks beyond crit swift really

make sure to check pins for a general overview of all three

[tender horizon]

This was a nice team

Lodge Lance sucks

Gardenia nuke moment

She wiped 60%

[wise raven]

ready to lose?

[dawn plume]

very fitting tm name

i got classic elesa from the ticket she was the only one i didn’t have but now she will sit in 1/5 tech hell forever

[chrome halo]

Same

[shy sinew]

did her duo with ss elesa on cobalion, if you're looking for ideas it was extremely easy

[dawn plume]

thats cute i might do it

[shy sinew]

I thought it would end up being a bit harder but the debuffs really help ss elesa ramp her evasion

[brisk sapphire]

I'd be honest I maybe would have won had Barry's last two syncs crit

[bitter gate]

what is the ideal duo pick for Tina

outside of Clay

[tender horizon]

Its good enuf

Sinnoh leg done

[dawn plume]

easy

with extra energy anyways

[young forge]

Is there a glitch with Restrained? Registeel will still have the restrained icon even when it goes away with Nessa

[sturdy steeple]

They're not tied together

So if you use more attacks as Nessa then it runs out faster on her

[young forge]

Wow, I had no idea

[tight rivet]

its based on moves used

8 moves and restrained disappears

since gauntlet takes actions a lot slower it tends to last longer

[upper lance]

any use of LyraPuff ?

[chrome halo]

Azelf

she has mixed moveset

[tender horizon]

Super Syncer shenanigans

This clear was very fun

[lilac wave]

How'd you get the Brendan/Lusamine/Lillie team to work?

[flint skiff]

Hmm nc red isn't very good against cobalion

[tiny hedge]

Chat, is 1/5 SS Silver and Falkner a good duo for Azelf?

[tender horizon]

Well it could work

But sounds like torture

[tender horizon]

Yes

[heavy sinew]

1 vote

skull emoji

[feral plank]

well depends

[tiny hedge]

Ngl this was both comfortable and tense

Both 1/5

[feral plank]

oh, now that makes sense

[tiny hedge]

Should have said Vfalkner, but yea, I was looking for multihit units but Sc Barry was 100% overkill

Already used guzma, and Bugsy too

[cedar pawn]

Brendan is 4/5 but I can’t recall if that has a major effect.

You can’t see it in her grid but Lusamine has all 4 Sync tiles.

Do not put MP refresh on NY Lillie. She won’t get in the way as much so Lusa can mulch Azelf.

Also I should say I did dismantle that team. You’ll see the new one later.

[flint skiff]

Uhhh the AI got confused a bit there

An entire sync cycle without any TM usage

[cedar pawn]

That happens.

That’s why I have Gio and Morgan with N. They set him and then outside of Potions, stay out of his way.

[flint skiff]

[tender horizon]

Finally

[tender horizon]

Oh you meant V falkner

Lol

[dawn plume]

that did indeed work

she can’t disappoint her fans

[flint skiff]

Bro cannot die

[dawn plume]

i used max guard to block a sacred sword idk if that was the optimal play or if max lightning woulda been better but whatever

[shy sinew]

we're tied now, nice

[void aspen]

Who is a good general pool to pair with Lodge Kabu for Cobalion?

[dawn plume]

oh hi

[void aspen]

I’ll just pick a random pokefair I’m not planning to use elsewhere lol

[dawn plume]

double kabu

[void aspen]

I used Kabu for my first clear lol

I’ll do double Torkoal

I’m thinking I’ll only make it to 40 due to time constraints

[kind imp]

nah, too easy

[dawn plume]

i dont have kabu so i cant speak to his strengths but i think double kabu can duo every LA that doesnt become immune to trap

including moltres

so that might be overkill on on-type cobalion anyways lol

[void aspen]

Yeah his lodge unit is pretty ok

[kind imp]

One thing that makes ss lyra solos a bit easier
Is to wait a bit for gauge after flinching, before chaining and flinching again

The more time without it unflinching the better

And have an ideia if you have enough gauge to chain, so you don't attack when it's already flinched unless you have enough gauge for 2 grassy glides

Mine needs 4.3 gauge bars-ish at +6 speed

[dawn plume]

bp cheryl was made for barry wow

first time using her

[tiny hedge]

Maybe using Red to tank cobalion was a bad idea hmmmst

[dawn plume]

when the sword is sacred

[tiny hedge]

Agony.

Was trying to use Rachel, but Blue is so squishy that he couldn't survive a sync.

[young forge]

Can 1/5 Kabu EX duo Cobalion with a Trap egg, or do you need someone better?

[cedar pawn]

The 45 Auto Blitzkrieg.

[tiny hedge]

if you can reliably get to bar 3, and save his max move for Bar 3. yes.

I used this tho.

[young forge]

Yeah i just did that, i don’t have time to test, and I tried Lucy but her sync damage was pathetic (maybe she needs Witty Hit for the duo?

[tiny hedge]

Lucy wants poison for her sync multiplier when it's kinda hard when she's competing with Kabu's passive.

[river cliff]

That took way longer than it should have

[karmic willow]

nice team imma steal

@river cliff send grids

[river cliff]

I'd recommend farming 3 sync buffs with Evelyn and make sure you have 4 by the time you nuke bar 2 to hit the damage ranges

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=0&v1=020500024400&s1=1&l1=140&r1=6&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFBgcICQoMERITFBobHB0eICUmJyg&v2=001600052101&s2=5&l2=140&r2=5&p2=0&a2=13010602&t2=4444&g2=AAECAwQFBgcKCw0OERQXGRob

I also did a lot of aerial ace spam to start and then just attacked with evelyn to get regen procs

[kind imp]

@pliant glen Hi, the pomatools grids for the 4 anni Lillie solos not just torn are showing cs2 instead of stoic 1/2

[pliant glen]

That's weird, thanks for the heads-up

[kind imp]

Np

[karmic willow]

man

nothing feels as good as just

beating registeel quickly

phat HP doesn't mean anything

8 more battles and i will be half way there

19 more clears needed on rock

27 on zelf

and a measle 6 on coba

[young forge]

The one time I want Registeel to paralyze me (Marshal) and it never happens

[river cliff]

I feel that

[karmic willow]

time to do spring burgh solo on zelf

yippie

man i just love making hard choices huh

msn

maaan

cobalion just MELTS

under may and tl lance

easy team

[tender horizon]

Easy f2p clears

[misty gorge]

After an hour of grinding

[drifting blaze]

for leaf eevee solo registeel, do i use iron tail to reduce defense at all or just spam tackle for flinch?

[void aspen]

You use iron tail whenever you have gauge is my understanding

[shy sinew]

yeah leaf does not desperately need dropped defenses

there's also tech on that solo where you run lithe and just heal off the crits

[cedar pawn]

Laughs in rich.

[void aspen]

Looking for something marginally less overkill than mix Blue with SS Morty vs Registeel

[misty gorge]

[karmic willow]

10 games in a row

either fukcing confused

or burned

OR BOTH

on the FIRST MOVE

OR A FLINCH

[drifting blaze]

this is what im doing, i use iron tail once everytime i use sync cuz i have the gauge, otherwise i just spam tackle for sync move. but i would end up dealing maybe 20% damage and registeel at 4 sync moves and i dont do any damage

i mean, he will be at 4 syncs and 2-3 hit me

[void aspen]

What does your grid look like

You should have gauge to use iron tail more than once per sync

[shy sinew]

you should be able to iron tail at least 3 times per sync yeah

[drifting blaze]

the grid on the doc sheet of people posting their runs

[shy sinew]

link it?

[shy sinew]

yeah I dislike that grid

swap friend mend for tackle mgr9

then either run lithe ls or fight through the paralysis

[void aspen]

This is what I used it was very straightforward

[karmic willow]

FINALLY

thank god for vigilance in grid

guzma goated

otherwise

Thunder crit would have killed my run

[drifting blaze]

okay, ill give that a try, thanks

[void aspen]

MGR9 will make a big difference

[void aspen]

The last few clears have gone way too smoothly I guess it’s time to go back to one that wants to make me pull my hair out

[young forge]

Any good duo partners for Lenora? I don’t want to do the solo, and Iris is taking too much damage from syncs

[void aspen]

Is Tina too strong of a partner for SS Red vs Cobalion?

His bulk is absolutely abysmal so I feel like using a decent support isn’t that overkill

[tender horizon]

For 1/5 ss red its alright

[young forge]

For Leaf solo you need to aggressively use Iron Tail to get past the first half of Bar 1 and lower Defense, plus reduce the chances you get paralyzed (although it’s doesn’t doom the run) . I used Mind Games 2 lucky skill, but you can use defense crush 2 also

[tender horizon]

Actually i would just do it ye

[drifting blaze]

and not take vigilance?

[young forge]

Yes

Don’t take Vigilance

[young forge]

I followed this video from Naomi https://youtu.be/iaGCGMMpCes?si=nf8apbaew-2FCb1V

You need to aggressively use Iron Tail or else you won’t be able to keep up with Registeel’s defense buffs

[tender horizon]

I like this nifty duo

[shy sinew]

I went with straight up Lithe and had no problems, fwiw

[kind imp]

^ for defense crush I only buff crit and use iron tail after half bar 1 to farm sync buffs at the start

And drop master healer for friend mend

[drifting blaze]

holy moly, 15 iron tails, didnt drop defense once LOL

what is this luck, that special defense is sitting at -6

[shy sinew]

welcome to lg, where sometimes that happens and all you can do is try again

[tender horizon]

Lol

[shy gale]

This fucking game

My crits sync 20% of the time

[upper lance]

at 51%

[tiny hedge]

Wait, how'd you get par...... ALDER TANKED A THUNDER?

[inner turret]

At -6 SpA and SpD buffs? Not surprised

[upper lance]

I was also REALLY greedy

Good way to duo with Wikstrom ?

[tender horizon]

i use him with my 1/5 nc serena

[tiny hedge]

Wait who was the MC mon?

Also, this was definitely a team of all time.

[upper lance]

Tech Slowbro

[tender horizon]

Thats one expensive roxanne team

But u go get that top rank

[dawn plume]

we must have different definitions of expensive

[pliant glen]

I did not touch Gauntlet today and I'm too preoccupied to do so now

[shy sinew]

I'm currently playing "wait, battle rally exists"

[kind imp]

"Wait cs exists" here

[dawn plume]

1/5 ex morgan and 4/5 ex ss leaf. a little easy but its whatever

their kits match nicely

[tiny hedge]

we're at a point in the game where any duo will feel easy with a 2024 unit

[dawn plume]

yeah lol

you do gotta nuke bar 2 from above half otherwise hyper beam will 🪦

[tiny hedge]

I'm currently trying to get rid of all my mediocre units before going into my unga bungas

I still have my arc units, my kanbirdos, my 2022 anni units, and even NCs

[dawn plume]

i've used nc red but not nc blue

[worthy horizon]

i feel like a lot of recent stuff is difficult to slot if they're not like arc/mf

but i've made ss leaf/piers work so it'd make sense morgan would do even better

[cedar pawn]

I think I might have a 46th Auto in the works.

[worthy horizon]

but most of the time i'm stealing/referencing older stuff and with new things there's no references

and then there's the influx of dc/bp units

[dawn plume]

yeah i've had that issue w newer units this time around

i just figured hey leaf needs crit and offensive buffs and morgan gives both and has the grass master passive... might as well

[worthy horizon]

really it's just anything can be difficult when you're minmaxing hard enough

[worthy horizon]

was about to put archie/lodge adaman on coba but i think they're fine for azelf

adaman has stalwart

[ruby sapphire]

Improved a solo

[dawn plume]

damn that seems awful lol

[ruby sapphire]

Idk what 2/5 is like but it didn’t seem that bad at 1/5

It’s just rolling the right status on bar 1 then farming syncs

[brisk sapphire]

If I can't make BP Barry solo tonight I might settle with the Gardenia duo

[worthy horizon]

it's a good spot for gardenia, not sure if/when i'll find another

haven't succeeded yet

if bp lusamine wasn't using ss morty he could work there

[brisk sapphire]

I got so close

So I may try some more

[tiny hedge]

Yeesh

[pearl beacon]

And it's monday

I was already noting time-efficient teams but I should go full overkill at this point

Also noted this as easy

The hell I'm dying first sync

[shy sinew]

I had to bust out the old faithful apple cup and still managed over 10k, so

[tiny hedge]

Le funni

[bitter gate]

1/5 each

[tiny hedge]

Thanks chat.

Last one for the night

[worthy horizon]

got this one working for 5/5 +6E ss leaf

def running out of registeel teams faster than coba

[tiny hedge]

just add DC2 and you'll be good

[worthy horizon]

and no 30% para reliance

i won't run out of dc2/mg2 but regi's still going to be providing more resistance

[strange ivy]

1/4th of the way there!

[drifting blaze]

ff moment. If this sync crit, can it one shot? 6th sync

Think 7th actually

[cedar pawn]

Welcome Auto #46

[dawn plume]

if it did that much without crit it def takes out the bar with crit

[rocky oasis]

could i go cheaper w/ a striker scyther azelf team? yes

do i want to? fuck no

enlightenment 9 LS

like wow scyther shreds azelf w/ any ex support

[rocky oasis]

cobalion team

[karmic willow]

how is it expensive?

i mean

gauge is rough if you only spam iron head

it's a 3 bar flincher without grids so i'd reckon ss brock is better than it

like thank god Roxanne doesn' take any gauge on her b-move

maybe i'm bad at team building

but honeslty most are using this

[pearl beacon]

Brock can run dps with some decent speed tank
The only way to lower it is getting a non-def buffer flinchbot, but none is fitting right so any flincher is profit

Her 1/5 is nice w alakazam but 3/5 idk

Btw 9 days 🏃‍♂️

[inner turret]

Wtf

It sucked so much when I did it 2/5

[feral plank]

3 tm mpr in SS Hilda solo on coba just for beef up to proc twice on last bar

[bitter gate]

Should I just do Mix Blue + Morty for Registeel

[feral plank]

doesn't seem to bad, but depends on blue's level ig morty could just carry another fire unit tbh

bc i suppose you are talking abt ss morty

[pearl beacon]

Seems a bit too much, do you still have some shitty fire units?

Also move lvls?

[bitter gate]

2/5 morty 3/5 blue

like idk what to do with them at least

I know morty has plento of cheaper duos

[feral plank]

any other fire unit left?

[bitter gate]

offensively just flint I think

Flint and Baline

the rest are all non attackers

[feral plank]

blaine is too much i believe, and flint well is flint

because you can only burn twice and that is not good

[bitter gate]

it's better than poison

and I beat cobalion 4 times using only poison

so it's fine

[feral plank]

yeah, but with other fire units, not with flint

[bitter gate]

you can do azelf with flint

afaik

[feral plank]

that boy doesn't have the dmg to skip half bar

[bitter gate]

i'm just wondering what's better, I would prefer Registeel

[worthy horizon]

don't need to skip

i ran ss morty with bp lusa

[feral plank]

2/5 morty can't support that much, you would have to be vrey lucky with mprs in sun, since no potion mpr

[worthy horizon]

yeah i can't speak much for 2/5

[feral plank]

there's the problem

[bitter gate]

against?

[worthy horizon]

azelf

[bitter gate]

I do wonder if that's overkill

tbqh

like i'd rather use Flint there than Lusamine

[worthy horizon]

hard to get lusa to survive anywhere else

[bitter gate]

and save Lusamine sun for trios

[worthy horizon]

ah yea i'm pretty duos-committed

[bitter gate]

I have not done a full duo run of LG ever

most of my stuff is duos, but never full

[feral plank]

i'm wondering what to do with the 1/5 ss roxie and kabu I pulled from the banner

[bitter gate]

im not like the pros

[feral plank]

i'm still with solos, sitting at 29, starting to struggle with coba, still doing ss hilda one

[bitter gate]

im also stopping ish after today

[feral plank]

even with 4/5, i lost a 3 tm mpr run to a double beef up proc in last bar

[bitter gate]

I begin placement tmr

[pearl beacon]

Nao and others rather prefer not running a unit than a trio
We just use whatever we have so don't worry

And some trio can go cheap as well

Some just need to ramp so eggos are helping

[feral plank]

i'm using this but i don't know if i could do better

[bitter gate]

@lost juniper do you remember your LG14 score

because fsr I lost my record of it

[flint skiff]

i have 18 auto teams and have run through it twice and i don't think i've got a single non-guaranteed 3* deluxe cookie

[feral plank]

man i feel old, now that i think abt it the first lg will be almost 3 years ago in 2 months

[pearl beacon]

Farming is good for standard 3* cookies, bronzies and silver for entries
But if you're looking at gold deluxe cookies you better try streaking

I spent a week farming on a old LG and all I got for half a day was 4 gold deluxe

[flint skiff]

oh hey trope, i almost did not recognize you

[bitter gate]

same

I was struggling to get top 100 last year

always coming just shy twice

then I top 100ed like idk, 5 times?

I missed one time due to business

[flint skiff]

i'm not really free right now to actively increase my streak. i think i'll just stick with autoing for now.

[karmic willow]

Haaaaaaaa

[lost juniper]

Yeah I did 206 clears in LG14

[karmic willow]

@thick dawn alt elio with Olivia or Roark?

[flint skiff]

for high streaks, should you always solo if you can solo?

[rocky oasis]

noland / pory can def duo

but i dont have the patience anymore

byebye azelf

[rocky oasis]

lol you wotn have time for that this time

[feral plank]

Even with 1 tm mpr

[flint skiff]

wdym

[worthy horizon]

usually lg is 3 weeks

it's 2 weeks now

if you aren't making your clears easier you're going to run out of time

[flint skiff]

hmmm if you can solo then throwing in more units should just make it easier right

[worthy horizon]

you can but there's plenty of existing duos to reference

can't always just throw whatever and have it work

[flint skiff]

i'm not aiming for 100, maybe only 30 or 40 so i don't think i'll run out of time

i've never climbed above 20 before

[worthy horizon]

don't need to do any solos then

or even duos

[tender horizon]

Many resets later...

Unova leg done omg halfway there

[hard fiber]

91

[tender horizon]

Hell this person at 148 but they used less units than me

The difference of a whale vs an expert LoL

[hard fiber]

I think your streak is amazing already XD
I don't even have the motivation to go past 18 😵‍💫

[bitter gate]

there is the skill component

but there is also the tenacity component

only those with both + time get high

[karmic willow]

wait serious? what's the LS

[tender horizon]

Rng

[stuck mantle]

2 place is also 💳 player but just try hard its all. This was last lg top1

He vas volo fan now kabu fan

[worthy horizon]

ye they didn't seem like much less of a whale than current top

there's a gap but not big at all

[tender horizon]

Top is whaling and just using all his bought units

2nd is playing the gamemode seriously

[wicked tusk]

EZ

[thick dawn]

roark

[wicked tusk]

This could work with the right Rose grid and vigilance,,,

Galar buff ofc

[lost juniper]

Gauges are bad for them. He can duo with Seaking

But if you need 60% flinch then Rose isn't the best for him

[karmic willow]

nice

olivia back on sleep chain duty

anyways

@bitter gate

any team with BP Rose yet?

[wicked tusk]

💀

Yeah 1/5 Hop and Perrsurker Rose work with perfect synergy

[tender horizon]

Ye it would

[feral plank]

vigi, mine's 4/5 though, i don't have to worry abt burn procs

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/403/49400?s=4&l=150&r=6&p=0&a=21010101&g=AAECAwQFBwwPEBEUFhckJygxNA&x=true, this was the grid, i dodged a stone edge, i think i got hit by sync in bar 2 though, burn before sync in bar 2, and spammed confusion last bar as quick as possible

burn at the start of bar 3 too

now that i see it, you don't need +2e, i already had it so i used it

[wicked tusk]

anyone done an ethan run yet

aaand my game crashed

i hate cobalion

[plush nimbus]

HUH

WTF IS THAT

[dawn plume]

bar 3 azelf moment

[plush nimbus]

That’s EVE

How tf is a little child and a fox doing 69,184

[dawn plume]

again

bar 3 azelf moment

38 sp def

[plush nimbus]

I know but Eve doing that much feels illegal

[stuck mantle]

She is top

Free unit its realy good

Veveee

[plush nimbus]

Also wtf are those bar 3 stats omg

I like the part where Azelf got a buff on one of its stats ☠️

[stuck mantle]

Azelf is pain bar 1

If you live bar 2/3 is more easy

[plush nimbus]

Bar 1 Azelf is the worst part of the whole LG lineup

[stuck mantle]

Also wors is coba poison

And sword bar 3 hit

And regi para you and flinch

[plush nimbus]

What is Azelf resistant to bar 1?

Is it both?

[stuck mantle]

First part to physical moves

Half bar too special

And have also shield for physical befor end bar 1

[plush nimbus]

Same bar 2?

[stuck mantle]

Plus he can confuse you burn and flinch bar 1

Yeap

[plush nimbus]

Even though Azelf is way weaker bar 2

[stuck mantle]

But you deal way more damage bar 2/3

[plush nimbus]

I always thought Azelf had no gender

Canon male?

[stuck mantle]

Maybe

Bar 2 he also less drop your def

But bar 3 sure hit and crits

But more easy kill him bar 3 for it

[karmic willow]

Alright guys

I need some help

Elio and Korrina is way too easy

So I need something to tank for her

Any korrina experts?

[tiny hedge]

Like i said, azelf is a joke after bar 1.

And even then, you can cheese Azelf just by sleeplocking them

[stuck mantle]

I use greta lv 1 vs azelf😏

And she never got hit🤣

Sleep is big power on zelf

[karmic willow]

You guys know what

Korrina gonna duo with lodge jasmine

I will 2 shot it bar 3

[karmic willow]

Forget paralyze she dies too fast for that on cobalion

Elio too strong

[river cliff]

No eggmon sleep chain?

[stuck mantle]

Hmm i think para should be on coba

Since regi can be more flinch force then coba

[karmic willow]

Waste

[karmic willow]

Yes but then i realize i have way too many coba teams

Like bro i literally finished planning for it already

[karmic willow]

Bea at home

[river cliff]

Idk there's only so many good sleep chain enablers

[karmic willow]

I got enough i guess

There is still

Siebad for theme skills

Olivia base

And i am out of sleepers after usint them both

[tiny hedge]

Coba: Para/Burn
Azelf: Sleep
Registeel: Flinch
Imo

[river cliff]

Azelf and regi can both be flinched or sleeped interchangeably

Depending on your chain enabler in regis case

[tiny hedge]

I know but sleep is better on azelf and flinch is better for Registeel

Azelf can immediately get out of flinch despite the chance making it really annoying, and registeel becomes immune to sleep after Bar 3

[river cliff]

Both have the same flinch and sleep mitigation

[tiny hedge]

[river cliff]

But yeah bar 3 of regi restricts a lot of sleep duos

[dawn plume]

azelf cures flinch at half bar i think

if that's what you're thinking about

but they have the same mitigation

[karmic willow]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=0&v1=011300008100&s1=5&l1=140&r1=4&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=11111&g1=AAECAwQFERQXGBklKCot&v2=001200044800&s2=5&l2=140&r2=3&p2=0&a2=13016403&t2=1111&g2=AAECAwQFERMUFRYXGRobKCsuLw

[tiny hedge]

I'm meaning Azelf can IMMEDIATELY recover from Flinch regardless of HP range

[dawn plume]

it shouldn't be recovering any faster than registeel does

[tiny hedge]

Same with sleep but they don't become immune to it

Registeel has the same situation

But they're more restrictive with sleep immunity and ofc needing defense drops which oddly enough, a lot of flinchers can do

I can only really think of one sleep unit who can consistently lower defenses

[tender horizon]

Waw

[karmic willow]

You forgot one thing

Registeel; def debuff

[tender horizon]

Everything was perfect until the last flinch lmao

[tiny hedge]

I meant status specifically

[tender horizon]

But still survived

Thankfully

[tiny hedge]

Def drops aren't a status

[plush nimbus]

Flinch chains on Azelf

The quad timing is 7 times worse than any other stage

[river cliff]

That's why chain enablers are good

[plush nimbus]

?

Chain enablers?

[raven crane]

Like Jynx + Cyrus on Moltres.

There's ways to play around turn order and passive activation (or other things like gradual healing) to tick down the timer for sleep so you can effectively queue it up again. Without having to just spam and hope.

[feral plank]

Easy

[dawn plume]

tierno needs exr for his solo right

i will probably uh

pass

[feral plank]

regi?yea

[river cliff]

Figuring out a partner for him is going to be a pain

[feral plank]

i'm still thinking abt someone for 1ex kabu

[inner turret]

Blaine

[young forge]

For event blue duo against Cobalion, is Calem or MC Pikachu easier?

[ember scaffold]

If I reset my streak to farm deluxe cookies will I lose my rank? I’m like rank 4k rn and I want to at least get top 10k

And I’ve only used like 30 pairs out of 300 I’ve got excluding egg pairs

[dawn plume]

if people get longer streaks then where you currently are then yes

[ember scaffold]

Is it like risky to reset now

[pearl beacon]

No headbutt flinches on bar3, but he flinched me

[drifting blaze]

Holy. It only took me one whole day worth of tries to solo registeel with leaf eevee. Lol

[dawn plume]

if you're trying to stay top 10k and are only at like 10 streak then yes

[ember scaffold]

13 rn

[dawn plume]

still

[ember scaffold]

Is 25 like safer

[dawn plume]

the most consistent way to get more lucky cookies is to increase your streak

probably?

[ember scaffold]

hm

ok thanks

[upper vigil]

would this be tech nido

[stuck mantle]

Tech or sup

[quaint tartan]

I think is supp for +6 atk

To keep up with healing and having ft2 on Lillie

[dawn plume]

support makes sense yeah

[upper vigil]

thanks

[karmic willow]

What the hell are they cooking

[karmic willow]

Support for attack

Though, doing this will cost you one cobalion clear with bertha

[dawn plume]

i need to do that duo again

that duo is how i learned cobalion has sand shelter... for some reason

[karmic willow]

it is a steel type after all

[dawn plume]

so is registeel 😭

[river cliff]

Wow lodge rosa + marlon is terrible without rosa exed

Marlon ex when

[karmic willow]

why not ex rosa

[river cliff]

I prioritize supports

I'll get around to her eventually

[dawn plume]

last registeel gauntlet i did her with jasmine and it was a pain, i can only imagine marlon is worse

but i have her EX now i didn't back then

[river cliff]

Good thing I have a bunch of unplanned potion eggmons lying around i guess

[brazen acorn]

Wanted to reply with sometimes but it turns out this was the right place for it||(if you are wondering i wanted to say only LG heads are looking foward to this)||

[dawn plume]

marlon is probably my bottom priority for supports that don't have ex that i want to get it lol

but i want all supports to have it

granted its a small list

[stuck mantle]

10 ani mc ex🤣

[dawn plume]

cheryl please....

[stuck mantle]

Coming

[upper lance]

Wow probably sync farm on Bar 1

[karmic willow]

i mean it kinda is the standard tactic

[upper lance]

Egg Butterfree is so frustrating

[karmic willow]

wait

why not on steel?

doesn't she nuke hard enough?

[upper lance]

Because I’m not masochist

[karmic willow]

sp.def drop tho

also

hmmmm

might do her + ramos

[upper lance]

I’ll probably use Ramos with either Bruno or Olivia

[loud shell]

how goes everybodies streaks?

[upper lance]

On Regi

[karmic willow]

we don't talk about bru no no no no

but about him though

i still think it is better to

do him with someone that can lower def

like BP Clemont

for future

on type damage does not need sleep chain

[loud shell]

could always run defense crush

[upper lance]

@thick dawn question.
Does Alt Elio need invest to duo with Roark against Régi ?

[upper lance]

I’m not really concerned about Fantina’s dmg but more on her survability

[karmic willow]

she has max defense by the time bar 3 rolls along

[upper vigil]

how do you grind for 1* and 2* cookie

the pink ones

[raven crane]

Battle Villa and Lucky Skill Training Area.

So basically you don't.

[upper vigil]

[karmic willow]

roark nuke

almost one shots bar 2

lol

[dawn plume]

its happened like 10 times this lg

where i try a duo and im like "wtf this is impossible"

then i check

and i realized i had the wrong gear on

and i put the right gear on and get it first or second try

i have a new appreciation for gear

[wicked tusk]

Gears can't change a team that much surely

or do you mean skill gears

[dawn plume]

i use skill gear just for stats

but like

i was doing bertha nidoking duo

bertha taking too much damage without gear

i add 70 hp and 20 def

its a big difference

actually it was like 90 hp and 35 def

[sturdy steeple]

its so true this has happened to me multiple times because im just so eager to get to the next clear

[true tartan]

gear stats are important

[wicked tusk]

Do all three skills need to match for you to get all three bonuses or just one?

Or one bonus per theme

[pearl beacon]

Yeah they're soo good
I just wish everything is easier to maintain

In some runs I spend more time just setting up everything thsn the actual clear

[worthy horizon]

yea def done this many times

[true tartan]

only 1 has to match

[lost juniper]

This is so real

[pearl beacon]

Like filter for common themes
Or filter for pinned gears

[wicked tusk]

Oh very cool !

[karmic willow]

anyone know how to

do the hilda and

scorbunny duo?

i know i have to wait for the stupid cobalion to attack before moving on but

he just

won't

STOP

[kind imp]

I wish they had a "highest to least strength boost" filter

Instead of checking 10 gears induvidually

[karmic willow]

what is it with this game and

hiklda giving 0 pots

every

damn

time

literally just ONE POT MPR

SERIOUSLY

[heavy sinew]

Anyone else did flannery solo

[tender horizon]

Aha i told you it was possible

[true tartan]

[tender horizon]

This team got dem cool them e skills

[karmic willow]

Okay so

How are you guys doing ss hilda solo?

I tend to lose so fast because of sacred sword lol

500 dmg ffs

[feral plank]

Burn quick, dont proc beef up

Burn, spam confusión till Sync try not to proc beef up, it's better if you Sync in 2nd bar when cobalion is abt to Sync too, right after his last attack

If 3/5 you gotta be lucky with Burns, before his first sync helps, last turn before yours in 2nd bar and insta Burn in bar 3

[karmic willow]

Hahahahahahah

[feral plank]

Nice

[karmic willow]

0 mpr needed

Yeap

ZERO MPR

One stone edge dodge required

[feral plank]

5/5 does not need mpr anyways

It's not like you arent one shotting bars

I honestly think you would have killed with a v create too in last bar

maybe not , with exr surely

[karmic willow]

Nice

[upper vigil]

how is zinnia winona supposed to go

[lost juniper]

https://youtu.be/_Uef78sXqBw

[karmic willow]

Just flinch

[dawn plume]

zinnia needs to buff up asap then sync to get rid of debuffs, keep azelf flinching until then

i wouldnt try it without powerboosted zinnia

[upper vigil]

winona dies before I can even sync with zinnia or if im lucky the turn after💀

I have her powerboost

[worthy horizon]

i tested that before gauntlet and didn't get it, might be the last duo i want to try

though lodge rosa + marlon without her ex is also quite bad

[karmic willow]

@errant plume very nice

[upper vigil]

?/5

[dawn plume]

@sturdy steeple for tierno and hitmonlee are you just yoloing high jump kick

cuz hitmonlee is taking too much damage for me

[inner turret]

just dont miss 5head

[thick dawn]

probably at least 3/5 for tm mpr can't see him taking multiple earthquakes while roark is basically a sync exclusive damage dealer

[sturdy steeple]

i rarely used hjk

just saved it for parts where i needed to clear the bar fast

if youre taking too much damage go for xdef mpr

[karmic willow]

145

Man

I feel i am slow

[wicked tusk]

im on run 203

[karmic willow]

I hate the shorter time

[wicked tusk]

wdym shorter time

[dawn plume]

this gauntlet is week shorter than usual

only 2 weeks

after tomorrow it'll already be halfway over

[wicked tusk]

oh woah

i didn't even notice

i wonder why

[errant plume]

[karmic willow]

Fast and furious

[rocky oasis]

registeel team

kinda rng tho

first sync goes to gladion

keep debuffing w/ gladion and flinching in between using blue TM

[wicked tusk]

someone give me a random unit to use

for azelf

[heavy sinew]

norman

[wicked tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/goku-prowler-goku-goku-mad-goku-dbs-dbs-gif-11120329515669448575

i wish norman was playable

wait what the fuck

norman is in PMEX??

💀

[rocky oasis]

hes just so terrible you dont wanna use him lol

[wicked tusk]

i legit thought he was in NPC hell

😭

[dawn plume]

💀 hes been in the game since launch

[wicked tusk]

thats insane

i've been playing this game for 4-5 years

never knew

[worthy horizon]

bruh

[dawn plume]

this has to be bait

[vital ibex]

wild

[wicked tusk]

no i'm being serious

alright someone give me another random unit to use

[dawn plume]

caitlin

[wicked tusk]

Ooo very good

[blazing linden]

Speed Skating 4

Has a chance (50%) of raising the Speed of the user with Ice Face by one stat rank when its attack move is successful.

Sync Pairs with Passive:

Nessa (Holiday 2021) & Eiscue

[dawn plume]

ok im not doing this

who else is a good partner for tierno

hitmonlee sucks

[tender horizon]

Dude skipped all story chapters fr

[tender horizon]

Yours is not 3/5 right?

Idk maybe BP karen?

[dawn plume]

no hes 5/5

not exr

[tender horizon]

Ok idk how a non solo works though

Since he needs those solo moves to heal up

[tiny hedge]

Unironically, Norman can be used for Coba for para.

[tender horizon]

Maybe just any side that can sync and survive, then the rest of the moves shud all go to tierno

So Bp karen for starters

But Tierno shud still sync every 2 cycles for the synchro

[dawn plume]

nah registeel is too fast for that

[wicked tusk]

unironically yes, because the PVL arc is literally "let's fight in this random tourney with weak ass trainers, also there are people in masks doing.... i don't even know"

[dawn plume]

yeah whatever

cant get much worse than than

had to give tierno +2 energy but i need to burn orbs anyways so its fine

[wicked tusk]

im on run 209

[tender horizon]

Yalls

[wicked tusk]

PURSERK SWEEEP

[tender horizon]

I present to you my second optimized and not overkill team

Theme skills too, Rose got passionate spirit

[median swan]

anyone have footage of lodge lance quaxly

[river cliff]

Closest clear from the repository, though I ran this grid when I did it
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=0&v1=011100023000&s1=5&l1=140&r1=6&p1=0&a1=18040802&t1=4444&g1=AAECAwQFBggLDQ4TFRYXGBk&v2=091220&s2=1&l2=140&r2=5&p2=0&a2=18046402&t2=444&n2=3&f2=20
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZ_KMtNhsAI

[median swan]

oh wow he doesn't need rain

thanks

[median swan]

when did you use rain

[river cliff]

I used one on the latter half of bar 2 to make taking the close combat/sacred swords easier, the first kinda depends on how much damage you end up taking on bar 1 from stone edge crits and whatnot

[median swan]

thaaanks i'll try it out

[dawn plume]

this guy is cooking

[river cliff]

I wonder how many potions this took

[dawn plume]

ROWLET

[heavy sinew]

non ex rowlet

[tiny hedge]

I might use that team ngl

[tender horizon]

70 solos damn

My Selene is going with lodge gladion vs Regi

[dawn plume]

lol not 70 solos

he did a lot of solos in a row there

gordie solo is wild

[worthy horizon]

internet's so bad i can't even play today very cool

[sturdy steeple]

Felt

I keep getting disconnected from the servers after runs frequently

[vital ibex]

i dont even feel like doing my 10 streak imma be so fr

2 week duration killed my drive to try and streak

[dawn plume]

2 week duration has made me decide to stop trying to optimize so hard and just play

its day 6 and im at 78 which is actually faster than i ever have

some of my clears arent super optimal but whatever

[heavy sinew]

Day 6 and I'm at 12

[misty gorge]

Day 6 and I’m at 0

[dawn plume]

oop

[heavy sinew]

patrat

[dawn plume]

<- me if u even care

[heavy sinew]

silly guy

[pliant glen]

It's been a week and I only played for like 2 days... I think I should throw in the towel the leak stuff has my brain right now. It's a huge event.

[vital ibex]

same here lol

my pokemon fan brain can only handle so much information at once

[pliant glen]

And I'm not gonna be able to do the December Gauntlet unless it's after I come back from our planned Holiday. It sucks rip the 200 streak dream until 2025.

I WILL lock in for Shauntal solos though

[heavy sinew]

Skyla got my brain in a chokehold

[dawn plume]

moltres is so cooked

when f shauntal drops

one of the most anti moltres kits we've had in a while

[pliant glen]

Her biggest struggle will either be Regirock or Tornadus

And somehow Tornadus seems easier

[dawn plume]

dont think regirock happens

i mean she has evasion i guess

but cant debuff + rock weakness just seems hellish

she has no dps

[median swan]

thanks for the tips it was hell

[lost juniper]

Tornadus might be possible since she can set hail I guess

[worthy horizon]

alright i previously said maxie/lodge blue should be on azelf but i forgot about mg9 on solar beam and that i used them on registeel last time anyway

good regi duo

[tiny hedge]

just want to bring this back, it needs 3 more stars.

[raven crane]

Added one.

[dawn plume]

was trying hop + parasect on cobalion but sacred sword sucks so much

got to the end and it took hop out from 60%

dude

[river cliff]

Glad it worked out, even with the damage reduction potion luck still makes or breaks runs

[dawn plume]

80

[sturdy steeple]

slay

[dawn plume]

wtf

ah yes i see

[sturdy steeple]

lmao

[dawn plume]

this guy did anni raihan on azelf

man

[lost juniper]

If you invest extra orbs its not bad actually

So they probably just did that

[dawn plume]

mfw they’re releasing this reset a steel weak gauge heavy striker during the LG with 2 steel stages

[cedar pawn]

My 46 Auto Team rundown

[shy sinew]

I straight up am not getting Iono, Shauntal though seems quite interesting to play with

[dawn plume]

i have sc irida so dont need her

i should candy her tbh i have 2 strike candies now

[chrome halo]

any cheap Registeel duo with DC Marnie?

[shy sinew]

well I feel like I've gone through a rite of passage, I've finally used Flint in a Legendary Gauntlet

[young forge]

For event blue duo against Cobalion, is Calem or MC Pikachu easier?

[worthy horizon]

so much of my skill gear randomly has 4-5% steel dr it's kinda nice

[young forge]

Skippingmud used this - 2/5 Argenta (not EX) and 1/5 EX Marnie

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=020300022700&s0=2&l0=140&r0=5&p0=0&a0=21010101&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFBgkOEBMVGRwgKy0wMQ&v1=024500056000&s1=1&l1=150&r1=6&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFBgcICQ8QERITFBobHB0eHyUmJyg&v2=0

Naomi did DC Marnie / Proton

[dawn plume]

i used falkner

argenta wouldve been smarter tbh i forgot i had her

[chrome halo]

oops i don't have both supports

[dawn plume]

falkner works

grid him for synchro and group gloat

dont worry about flinches just fly over stuff

[chrome halo]

[worthy horizon]

bp karen not seeming good enough for 2/5 tierno

also i used rachel for dc marnie

uninvested marnie

[dawn plume]

no idea how marlon lodge rosa works

gauge sucks damage sucks tanking sucks everything sucks

my rosa is ex

[worthy horizon]

pray for flinch really

[dawn plume]

oh gross

[worthy horizon]

yeahhh

i did it before without ex but i def got pretty lucky there

and i've had a lot of good looking runs recently that just flopped on bar 3

[bitter gate]

I used BP Karen with SS blue for azelf

Idk how that works but oh well

[dark bolt]

Is this a good team?

[shy sinew]

it'll kill for sure, but you can go a lot cheaper if you want to

ss cyrus is a solo sleep chain enabler, so you prevent azelf from moving entirely and could even use a second mon for consistent wakeups (neither alder nor lusamine are sleep chain enablers themselves)

[kind imp]

cyrus enables chains by himself

[shy sinew]

yeah if you're only looking for 10 though, burgh is right there

[kind imp]

also alder and lusamine consume a lot of gauge

[dark bolt]

Who would be a good support

[shy sinew]

none, cyrus tanks

[dark bolt]

Should I use my bug types it just Cyrus

[shy sinew]

as long as you sleepchain correctly, azelf never attacks you

if you want, I can quickly record a proof of concept if you're unfamiliar with sleepchain mechanics against lessen sleep 8, I'm fresh off doing half of my sleepchains vs azelf over the last 2 days

[dark bolt]

Sure

Also is Alder bad against Azelf?

[shy sinew]

he's fine, just together with lusamine it's far too much gauge for one team to sustain

[dark bolt]

What would be a good team with him

[dawn plume]

depends on move level but i duod with a flinch egg at 4/5

he gets one shot by sync if he uses his tm, so generally just dont let azelf sync

then he melts its hp

[shy sinew]

If you want to see sleepchain timing against Azelf I uploaded this: https://youtu.be/FsMpi055tFA

Note my timings. Intentionally delaying the queue is the most important part of sleepchaining, since you essentially force Azelf to wake up by doing nothing and take advantage of that window to immediately put it back to sleep. Burgh should make this kinda free, I put mine with tech Butterfree on the stage and it felt comparably easy because being supereffective reduces the number of chains you need to hit. If you know you're dropping below 50% or going to the next bar with a move, you can requeue the sleeping move, but especially for halfbars you have a bit of time to see that and queue the move yourself

[dark bolt]

I just watched it and impressive as it was it just seemed a little slow

[shy sinew]

optimally it’s damageless, what matters is that you win

doesn’t matter how fast you go

[flint skiff]

for autoing, should piercing blows units be used for cobalion or azelf?

i currently use both og N and anni N in cobalion auto teams

[worthy horizon]

i haven't tried but i'd guess auto is worse at handling statusing coba so that

azelf can be beaten with just syncs

and mixed attacks

[flint skiff]

oh sync bypasses azelf's passives in the first 2 bars right?

[dark bolt]

If I decide not to do a sleep chain, what are some good alternatives?

[worthy horizon]

yep and it's still doing a decent amount to bar 3 due to how frail azelf is

[flint skiff]

oh its stats change between bars. i didn't know that. i thought the passives just got weaker at bar 3.

[worthy horizon]

everything has some stats change but azelf's might be the most dramatic

[stuck mantle]

Sycamore solo regi its not hard:) i did this time too even got flinch 3 times

[upper vigil]

I forgot barry can deal some damage

[kind imp]

From 119/73 to 38/38 defenses #1012311116778586182 message

Basically he gets thrice/twice weaker

Also notice how high azelf's offensive stats are in bar 1 compared to 2 and 3

[flint skiff]

he's running out of steam

nc blue can solo auto cobalion but boy does it take a while

[worthy horizon]

this actually feels like overkill but w/e

2/5 ex v sawyer, bullet seed build on brendan, double dc

brendan's nuke is ridic

[bitter gate]

Where's the special defense drops come from tho

[worthy horizon]

shadow ball oar

wanted a gauge carry to be able to even use shadow balls at all

[bitter gate]

Oh right

Might try that because my sawyers 1/5

But idt I'll even pass 100 at this rate

Irl is tooo busy

[strange ivy]

Coballion is starting to get annoying hmm

[worthy horizon]

1/5 faces 20% instead of 60%

i upgraded sawyer just for registeel

needs that and the mgrs

brendan's so strong that it'll work i think but it could be annoying

[flint skiff]

why does the ingame description suggest burn for cobalion when its weakest status mitigation is para

[worthy horizon]

bc the desc isn't required to be perfect or anything

[flint skiff]

goddammit ss red killed himself with flare blitz on auto

[drifting blaze]

wish they can change this

dont always use flare blitz lol

[worthy horizon]

yeah you pretty much have to standfast 9 him when you auto with him

most recoilers just won't work

[flint skiff]

i think i'll just switch to hilda

[karmic willow]

Gauge is not impossible

Kinda scary how good iono is at blowing things up

[karmic willow]

i mean it works

i've seen people do ss blue with nido something

though

i did SS Blue and NY lance

a bit prematurely

should have done sabrina

but then again

there are loads of sabrina team anyways

so i'm not gonna think about it for too long

My BP karen probably gonna go assist tierno if his solo takes forever

[dreamy warren]

what's a cheap registeel duo I can do with 1/5 rei

[karmic willow]

support machamp

or just literally anything

more moves = more syncs = more b-moves = more flinches

[dreamy warren]

Oh right he has sure flinch

was registeel released when Rei was?

[karmic willow]

idk

[inner turret]

No

I dont think so

[flint skiff]

is there a way to filter for mixed attackers

[inner turret]

He was first released during a LG, I don't think steel was built for any pair specifically

[dreamy warren]

Oooo

[flint skiff]

the ingame filter uses OR logic so it doesn't work

[inner turret]

You just kinda need to know them

[dreamy warren]

#gacha-and-flex message

I am happy I got him. It's an easy registeel clear which I am out of

[worthy horizon]

felt like registeel was designed around c hop

[inner turret]

Possible

that or sc diantha but lol

[dreamy warren]

I am still so mad at registeel

why does it have acuity

[karmic willow]

C hop sc diantha are all valid answers

Though

Rei is also intended

But a bit more extreme

You only need mind games 2 if you cannot kill it's half bar 2 quick enough

Like this example

[flint skiff]

ss lana's output is... uhhh... she has room for improvement

[dreamy warren]

why does registeel get acuity anyways

is it solely to make unbuffed foe mult pairs suffer

[bitter gate]

Will test Iono duos later

I got her in the first 300 lol

[stuck mantle]

Ghost collector:)

[bitter gate]

Shauntal is my real prize but yes

I has all ghosts

[stuck mantle]

Shauntal is ice

🙂‍↔️

Any iono solo?

[bitter gate]

She's a waifu, I hope I nab her

[stuck mantle]

No need hope just use this 💳🥰

And she come home:)

[flint skiff]

nc rosa is trying relic song dps on auto

on registeel, even though ssrc is right there

[blissful rose]

DCBarry or DCHugh to 3/5 for this gauntlet?

[worthy horizon]

getting auto to debuff regi properly is quite the task

i feel like barry needs it more

[chrome halo]

unlocking 120% sync multiplier is huge for him, yeah

[flint skiff]

i've reached 21 autos. that's a higher streak than i've ever actively got.

[worthy horizon]

i reran c gio/gladion for regi

redlax/marley for coba

[inner turret]

duo with a pair that doesnt exist

[robust nymph]

how tight was this?

i was planning the usual elio korrina but this seems better

[karmic willow]

red marley is cope you do 2 supports smh

[karmic willow]

korrina is 150 EX

Gears needed to bump up damage by just 10%

so good luck lul

i mean without it

you have to enter bar 2 with

close combat > sync > Close combat bar 2

and then for bar 3

Close Combat MUST get throug half bar or korrina dies to crit EQ

the rest is simple as jasmine has endure

[worthy horizon]

had nothing else set for her

[barren cipher]

Which is the easiest to deal among the three?

[karmic willow]

i mean team building wise it's cobalion

i'd say registeel

alright

time for a hard unit discussion

D R A S N A

anyone got teams for her?

[worthy horizon]

haven't even attempted

[karmic willow]

í swear we are just

one innovation away from it

like the ryuki clear

[inner turret]

ryuki actually deals damage at least

can't say the same for drasna

[bitter gate]

I remembered doing it with BP Olivia on Registeel, I think

[flint skiff]

Arc lance takes surprisingly little damage against registeel

[robust nymph]

yikes

[karmic willow]

It is close

Anyways
