Lillie can't Paralyze.
So Blue very much has a slot.
inner turret
You have much more options than just blue tho
raven crane
But that doesn't take away his value.
inner turret
It kinda does
river cliff
Yeah, but his slot is more flexible now which is great
Especially for super sparring
inner turret
While Melony it's pretty much just Blue or Chase, Lillie has almost anyone
river cliff
Blue also only debuffs defenses by -2
raven crane
It's gonna be funny to see some potential solos of Lillie sleep spamming to +10 SMUN and using the Buddy Move.
inner turret
yeah lillie solos are gonna be funny
raven crane
Latias ain't shit.
river cliff
Sounds like a registeel clear to me

Bonk.

Well, I mean the +10 smun deleting a bar in particular says rip registeel
river cliff
True
sturdy steeple
WAIT LMAO SHE GETS +1 SMUN ON SING?
its so funny
inner turret
She doesn't make a great use of unfort imo, 4 gauge moonblast is eh
raven crane
True, but could still bring good use (with luck.)
Though I feel most stages won't need it.
The option doesn't hurt!
sturdy steeple
debuffs are always gonna be useful on sleepchain units
river cliff
I've been debating how much I want to invest into her. Sprint candies are hard to come by
raven crane
I think Lillie will have the gauge to make it work in most cases.
She isn't Diantha with the gauge of a crippled oak tree.
sturdy steeple
diantha has amazing gauge

Pre-Recharging Strike.

imagine 10/5 diantha when you can 10/5 palmer

~~imagine having diantha to begin with~~
I have gotten four copies of Diantha on accident.
inner turret
raven crane
yeah the b word is censored here lol
You still saw it so it had its effect. 
I would definitely 10/10 her if the resource becomes more available.
Totally not because my Fairy Strikes are actually dead in a ditch.
inner turret
what's a fairy strike
river cliff
I just want to see if she can duo latias with egg sylveon with her exr. Still waiting on some cake coins
raven crane
At 10/10 or 5/5?
raven crane
Cool cool, good luck.
river cliff
I'm somewhat surprised she doesn't have a 10/5 solo
river cliff
I mean Latias specifically
worthy horizon
if she had a second debuff i could see it but with only one and no defense or healing (beyond 20%) even with type advantage and everything else seems a bit too rough idk
also i have tried with ss lysandre who does have two debuffs and it's still not very close as with all the remaining non-azelf stuff
dawn plume
i think diantha does too much damage to latias bar 2
so it gets to half bar immediately
and then +6 eva and +4 def and its unwinnable
river cliff
Yeah that definitely needs to be skipped
kind imp
Her tm charges gauge as mega
And can also grid propulsion 9 on it
So you could damage control with mprs if needed
So I guess it's more the single debuff thing when you don't have a lot of time to proc dc2/mg2
vital ibex
"just flinch lol"

2/5 grants him healing... so that's a thing for lowering Latios if anyone ever try lol
that could possibly lower Latios and Raikou?

not like there's any rush to lower the solo haha

dunno if he can shred fast enough

he'll need a real tank but he could still clear within 2 sync cycles potentially

Love how Klara and Avery both have 13/14 when they were originally considered not that good for LG. Granted, the SA does help
true tartan
Klara seemed more LG oriented than Avery imo
sturdy steeple
theyve always both been good for lg and had the tools, some just more expensive than others like averys offensive debuffs being at 4/5
dawn plume
klara only needs SA for regirock and even then its just 6/5 for stats
unless she somehow gets moltres with 10/5…
that’d certainly be something

oh, I meant solo-wise of course lol
in general, they both indeed are very good LG units

not bede
no defensive utility there
hop has grassy terrain/cushion, marnie has healing sun/defensive circle
everything is gaugeless under wtz
i'd lean toward marnie with her support exr and defense/spdef debuffs
lost juniper
All of them should be able to solo at least the easy 3 or 4
Meaning Latios, Bulu, Entei and Raikou
worthy horizon
bede should burst down entei but not getting bulu with that grass weak
still gets latios, maybe raikou and moltres
potential for others too
lost juniper
Moltres is a big if but maybe. Also Bulu should be doable for Bede if he nukes Bar 3 fast. Bar 1 only has energy ball once before half and Bulu is slow so Bede could ramp moves quickly
I wouldn't count it out just yet
worthy horizon
bar 3 wouldn't be the concern, he's perfectly capable of tearing it down before wood hammer
crit seed bomb alone would be pretty devastating
not impossible yet but no high hopes
median swan
which of the three galar varieties is looking the best for gauntlet?
outside of solos, marnie coz of the utility (sun, circle, team buffs from the b move, debuffs, burn, supp ex)
bright brook
Well. It's also about milo's grid being expensive as hell.
To fight latias you need to pick up def crush, and that'd mean you have to take off some healing.
bright brook
The stat boosts are huge tho
bright brook
But yea the passives are underwhelming
bitter gate
I just wonder if it's really beyond him to do latias or cob
bright brook
Ive actually tried against azelf, and bar 1 onlu requires like 5-6 mini pots
More stats equal less potion

Making the solo a lot more feasible
shy sinew
So I am now the proud owner of a 1/5 Klara, how good is she if I just don't invest in her for gauntlet? I'm very limited on tech upgrade resources

And either Lati or Cob would be the easiest

Azelf has the most kill pressure
Latias and Cob have some small windows

She's good
12.5% healing every 2 turns (which is half what 2/5+ has bc of sync regen [which is prob what makes 2/5 jump from 1 to 5 solos, but for duos 1/5 healing should still be fine])

rocky oasis
thinking of dropping some on sawyer to make his grid less awkward
river cliff
I gave him 4 extra energy, it helps a lot
river cliff
Lotta different ways you can build it but this one is a good general purpose grid
Looking at it more you get good mileage out of +6 as well
He could really use the double mgr
sturdy steeple
i gave him +2 just for the extra gauge
river cliff
So many helpful nodes, not nearly enough energy for all of them
rocky oasis
at least support ex makes sync burst way better

Actually I think this grid was the main reason I brought him to +4

not sure why he has sync node

It's a less expensive path to healthy healing
rocky oasis

6 energy the other way

only less expensive if youre going for agg or mgr

Giving a physical attacker smun
She's a mixed support-esc character, that's why.

is it damage control?

ye
if i do too much i'd proc half bar 1 early
giving me one less free turn so i wouldnt be able to reach sync before bulu did
dawn plume
thats wild
bright brook
also by proccing half bar i force bulu to queue energy ball right away that not only hits me for super effective damage, but also heals itself, and my sync wont be able to bar skip
i figured that out when i was attempting a run with stoic 2, ended up missing out on the KO at the end, so power reserves 2 would be my way out to both ensure damage control and provide enough damage for the bar 3 rush

I didn't think he'd solo bulu, but the raikou solo was so short that the video turned into a short, so i attempted bulu to see if i could add it to make the video longer, and got it.

Some others:
SS may cobalion solo uses flying guard for aerial ace, similarly Lear uses dark guard on bulu for brutal swing
A lot of special attackers use defense crush on latias bc it often does more damage since latias buffs defense more than sp.defense
and there's four moltres solos that use ww3 to take advantage of moltres' own sun

Sonia and P Victor also use Fighting Guard vs Cobalion
Iono and P Victor (again) use Normal Guard for Cress, and so on

That's prob the fastest optimal solo
But maybe if you go out of your way to prioritize speed over consistency
On some random max investment
There could be some faster solo

anni May did it but Anni May also hits way harder and doesn't have to click TMs so

Skyla is slower but also has smaller safeguards

Anabel comes first

stone edges hurt
shes probably got better odds of idk
soloing regirock w/ sharp entry or registeel w/ def crush

bright brook
40% tho

44%
bitter gate
What would that routing even be, lol.
routing?
She should be able to nearly/clean kill bar 1 with zone up, but ideally you want to control the damage such that you enter bar 2 with zone up and oneshot it with sync
bar 3 is easier to deal with than bar 2 because she's running either FG or stoic
so you can avoid the burn tilt
bright brook
wait how is it 44%. I thought 2+1 = 3
raven crane
Separate procs.
A 30% roll and a 20% roll. 'Least that's how I've always looked at it.

yeah this is gonna take a while
I get no more than 2 MPRs an average game lol
my longest was like 7 MPRs
not enough
bitter gate
Sigh
I get at least 3 MPRs lol
I hate this so much
I need about 7 to 8
But can't even give me half
worthy horizon
if anyone's curious about v marnie vs moltres she can get past first half bar lol
true tartan
lol
bitter gate
I'm surprised it's even in contention lll
worthy horizon
never hurts to throw in at least a few attempts
and people were thinking arc leon vs moltres stood a chance
i don't think she has efficient duos that would warrant placing her there instead of anywhere else
in a gauntlet setting
well...
with support wigglytuff she at least gets out of bar 1
but i ate a crit heat wave right after
lost juniper
and people were thinking arc leon vs moltres stood a chance
If Moltres would not have status and debuff immunity, it'd have been doable, but because it does then no chance
worthy horizon
yeah
raven crane
maybe +25 sync over +5 sp./defense or +5 speed/sp.atk?
Damage control in bar one would be too annoying.
kind imp
Ah
worthy horizon
thinking reason gauntlet was shafted was to have a dc focused month to sell arc leon
but idk have they coexisted within the same month
still might be that anyway
also holiday lillie had to be in time for the holiday
feb most likely next gauntlet if they aren't pushing it together with hs on the same month
river cliff
That's such a long time with no gauntlet if that's the case
It'd be interesting if they were to somehow rework it during its downtime
blissful rose
If DC event doesn't happen next month, I could see gauntlet returning with the shortened 2 weeks duration given HS event is confirmed.
If not, then tough luck I guess.
worthy horizon
yeah that would make it more of a possibility
but by feb they should be out of visible reasons to piss off people who want deluxe cookies
river cliff
I could sure use some silver cookies
raven crane
First time that's happened there.
Oh I didn't get Flying Wish MPR, basically dead run anyway.

You can drop unfort 9

Oh is it for the passive to queue your moves?
raven crane
Mhm.
Air Cutter costs too much energy.
Unfortuitous is the only way I can guarantee it.
sturdy steeple
do you absolutely need the mpr on flying wish
raven crane
No, but you'd need a whole Sync cycle of flinches somewhere else in the run.
sturdy steeple
checks out
raven crane
So I'll just take the Flying Wish MPR.

I tried, that's why I doubted haha

would be interesting to see how salt cure worked

It's just trap no

well you can switch if salt cured

It also has funny interaction with Water and Steel types
I think it would be a B Move that lowers Water and Steel rebuffs

Azelf maybe?

tbh it might let her get cobalion
well she might not need it for cobalion actually
will need to see how fast she can damage rush it

i mean if tl shauna and n can get coba

Can she join club 12?
Holillie i meant
Torn and Moltres are already no no to her
Is Uxie a legitimate wall to overcome 
dawn plume
she has gobsmack on grid she’ll be fiiiine
surely
trying lodge arven on regirock i got to bar 3 with no recover mprs, if i can get even 1 (ideally 2) this is doable… but gotta pray for no flinches always
i can give it some more tries later
this is def more reasonable than lodge volo on latios lmfao

So I pulled new Primarina
Any solo for 3/5 exr?

any v marnie solos on cob yet

yea it's there
bright brook
Yea, 2/5 EX
dreamy warren
any other solos yet? this happened #gacha-and-flex message
so was wondering if she had a lot of lg value
median swan
she has as many solos as arc leon right now
sturdy steeple
shes got one more over him
sturdy steeple
median swan
oh doom was talking about vmarnie
sturdy steeple
oh lol my bad
the current min investment solos have been lowered real well for vmarnie
lowering em more would be difficult and youd need more investment
and attempting latias is also very hard and youd need high investment
copper helm
So Uxie, Torn and that annoying bird left then
lost juniper
She ain't getting Tornadus or Moltres
dreamy warren
She's pretty monstrous as is.
how is v marn's lg performance rn
chrome halo
Does his b move being limited to bug zone hinder him badly?
bitter gate
it's not limited to zone, it's limited to circle, of which he only has three rounds without extension
And it has a really long animation
he does have an excellent TM, but most of his clears will be highly RNG
though some will be simple enough
bitter gate
how is v marn's lg performance rn
Marnie hsa the broadest trait profile with access to burn, mixed debuffs, and a general circle, so she has the more comfortable profile
Hop and Bede are more comp-specific
pliant glen
I think Holiday Lillie can get Latios, Entei, Azelf and Bulu at 1/5
bright brook
nope, tried
1/5 EXR then maybe, but def not 1/5
but i say that because i think her high damage will make quick work of them. She def doesnt have what it takes to maintain a chain at 1/5, like not enough gauge or passives that proc every turn, and the fact that she has to run troublemaker 1 to land sing 90% of the time as well

big day for the solo document, finally finished writing all the difficulties & requirements/advice columns for all over two thousand solos...

what no gauntlet december does to your productivity

ive been slowly chipping away at this all year inbetween LG months but yeah no LG this month really motivated me to finish this big update by the end of the year

i am so good at spelling
now i can finally work on other updates ive wanted to add to the doc

currently adding the jp names for all of the units on here too for the many jp players who use the solo sheet

how do they refer to same costume alts? like variety lodge bp mix
sturdy steeple
good question im just still calling them where they come from
like the trainer lodge in japanese is called the salon
true tartan
Variety comes from Variety banner
sturdy steeple
so lear salon
true tartan
Lodge in japanese is Salon
Mix... it is Mix in japanese too
BP.... they do have in the items "Battle Points" in katakana* lol
dawn plume
looks like they still use BP for short too
true tartan
I know Snow has some shortenings they made
lost juniper
Probably would be good to ask someone to confirm how they refer to them in the JP community
kind imp
I remember their sheet having a conversion table (?) but prob still best to ask them
sturdy steeple
oh awesome
sturdy steeple
i see they just translate names of the mons
true tartan
yeah, that one doesn't have that abbreviation
sturdy steeple
wheres the abbrev one

neat thankyu
true tartan
well, that's how Snow abbreviates them
sturdy steeple
hmm

Alt? A
Variety? V
Sygna Suit? M
Lodge? L

another SS? MA (MA2)

Bulky but circle duration is kinda meh

not much needed to see he'll get many solos lol

Though egg on my face if he does

we'll see
gleaming cypress
been an hour already...
true tartan
lots of bulk, can heal a lot
reduces stats...
happens to be a kind of mixed hitter, so yeah lol

My issue is mostly how limited the circle is and how long animations are
Meaning you have to really manage the duration right
true tartan
eh...
bitter gate
But I guess he can manage just fine
true tartan
you can put your circle when you need lol
