Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)

[bitter gate]

ofc if the DR is 3

it might be big

I hope it is, I guess

[gleaming cypress]

max CD 2 and poison zone when you use ET

[dawn plume]

honestly big thing for me this update is iono being added to monthly scout

shes a year old this month i guess thats their time limit for adding them

[gleaming cypress]

just iono?

[dawn plume]

yea

but that means shes technically permanently accessible now

[gleaming cypress]

well that would be the first b-move unit that's always accessible F2P

with the first ever F2P b-move unit being anni lillie 2

good to see progress happen, even if it is slow

[dawn plume]

on the other side of the coin the first unit with 2 b moves this month 💀

[gleaming cypress]

no new EX roles for the old strike PFs

[wise raven]

Either i am blind or no seasonal selects rip i need that summer acerola, but not like there's any LG to solo

[dawn plume]

wow another ground type physical damage dealer from sinnoh

incredible guys

[chrome halo]

there has never been seasonal select during new year

[dawn plume]

what a new concept

[wise raven]

i must have confused it with pre anni banners

trust lg in pre half anni

[dreamy warren]

does lodge lucas look like he has lg potential

[dawn plume]

that is mix lucas

[dreamy warren]

*mix

I keep on calling him lodge for some reason

[blissful rose]

At least we are getting secondary type for the new Mix units, Dawn gets Steel Empoleon I guess.

[chrome halo]

he consumes no gauge when zone is up so ig he can get some solos?

[dawn plume]

uhh he can debuff both offenses and heal under ground zone

[worthy horizon]

gaugeless under zone and has recovery and grid vigilance

bunch of stuff

[dawn plume]

yeah i think he can damage rush some stuff

am i particularly enticed to pull for another physical ground sinnoh damage dealer when i have sc adaman, arc cynthia, and base cynthia?

erm

[true tartan]

this one is a turtle

[wise raven]

with trees!

[bitter gate]

Yeah, Atticus grid is horribad

[quaint tartan]

And it’s field sprint so it’s nice

[bitter gate]

like good luck making a good one

it's so freaking expensive

[wise raven]

time to continue my mix pull for lucas

[bitter gate]

I want him because of how bad he is, kek

[dawn plume]

https://tenor.com/view/morgan-freeman-true-true-what-a-nice-true-true-pizza-morgan-freeman-gif-9911910826150230625

oh hes the first field with sprint exr

which is sprint with field exr but worse

[true tartan]

Bad?

[dreamy warren]

oh, I skipped it but how bad can it be?

[bitter gate]

he wants everything except the stuff in the bottom left corner

[dawn plume]

only one mpr2 tile for potion is pretty bad

[bitter gate]

and the cost is way too expensive

between focus group, pots and aggravation

he has two

[true tartan]

he has 2

2 MPR and 2MH

[dawn plume]

oh im blind

[dreamy warren]

does he have infinite poison df

[true tartan]

that's the issue of no texts on grid lol

[dawn plume]

yeah but he doesnt really need it

[bitter gate]

meanwhile, his permanent poison zone

is also on the bottom side

[dawn plume]

its poison damage field

not poison zone

[bitter gate]

all the shit he wants is spread out

[dawn plume]

if it was zone it'd be good...

[bitter gate]

yeah, mb

[true tartan]

it is DF, not PZ

[bitter gate]

his DF

so he can't take everything

if you take pots + DF, you have no flinch/crit

if you take pots + crit, no flinch or zone

it has problems either way

and energy expansion isn't gonna save him

I think he's as bad as Milo if not worse, lol

[dawn plume]

ok yeah the more i look at this grid its kind of a mess

[bitter gate]

go to brybry and try building a grid

it's miserable

[dawn plume]

i'm looking at it rn

i didnt see his crit is only on grid

thats rough

[bitter gate]

Like, this is already +10 E

and you have no permanent poison for stuff like debuffs and poison

unless you play critless

if you skip crit, you only need +4 E

but no MH either

so yeah, it's pretty miserable, lol

his defenses are also tied to his damage field being up

and he only gets +4

so he has to exhaust them early

meaning you can't save it for like

long term cob

or uxie

he also wants impervious but he can't even take that alongside his other stuff

so yeah, he's bad

[river cliff]

Yet another set of pokefair selects with no sprints or fields to be seen

Unless they finally distribute them by their exr

[median swan]

ss ingo isekai'd away from the selects

[wise raven]

i forgot how i selected my Rei prob region based selects?

[median swan]

yeah it was by region in 4.5 anni

[wise raven]

ss trainbros should be selectable by 5.5 anni

[river cliff]

I just want Larry and Greta

[worthy horizon]

if she can manage bar 3 in current state which she has it's possible she can get latios with 6/5

10% to everything is pretty big

even if it doesn't sound like it

[brisk sapphire]

I'm just shocked none of the waiting PFs got EXR

The remaining... five?

[worthy horizon]

yea only new exr to an existing pair is anni n

[wise raven]

theyre cooking something for half anni

[river cliff]

Maybe now that all the pokefairs have their SA they'll pick up the pace on upgrading other pairs

[dreamy warren]

Mela looks garbage for lg

[chrome halo]

she has infinite self evasion buff

[worthy horizon]

fmn every attack so no gauge issues

[chrome halo]

her damage potential is high too so she should be able to blizt some arenas

[worthy horizon]

pretty common thing now

sc irida nets 9 solos with mostly evasion and damage but she does have ridicure, mela can debuff spa and speed and has guaranteed status to help with some stuff

it's not looking too bad for her

[bitter gate]

Mela still has no healing at all

[dreamy warren]

oh wait she has evasion

[bitter gate]

and will rely on her defenses + eva

• blitz

[dreamy warren]

missed it my bad

thought it was speed

[bitter gate]

like, even if you invert

she'll also reduce her stats progressively

so she has this odd up and down timing curve

[dreamy warren]

after her second b move she should have permanent+6 at least

[bitter gate]

I'd be surprised if she gets more than 7

I can see her doing the easiest three, entei, registeel

latias

and cobalion

I guess uxie

idt she can do the rest

oh nvm

she has imperv after she exhausts both B moves

nvm then

she essentially wants to blitz drop, invert

then abuse impervious + dodge

that's not too bad

[worthy horizon]

yea even without healing there's a lot of utility to go around, just still going to have to press into that evasion

[bitter gate]

she has no gauge issues

she has the pressure as well

And has Endurance/DDG

like if she dodges early, accelerates her drops and fast cannons, she'll be fine afterwards

but she won't be as good as say, Sina

Mix Lucas also seems to be quite excellent

good gauge, good duration, good debuffs, defensive checks

[tender horizon]

Where new LG

Also Raihan 12/12 unit

[bitter gate]

lg is dead

because idk why no reru

[tender horizon]

MY LUCKY COOKIES ?

I NEED HEAD START 1

[rocky oasis]

huh lisia looks decent actuallyp

still gotta choose between flinch and nuke tho

new sleep spam unit?

idk about thsi ones gauge tho

hypnosis being 2 bar kinda sucks

[chrome halo]

can we chain hypnosis to charm

for fast track 9

[rocky oasis]

probably but what gauge

[bitter gate]

it's fine, no

hypnosis double procs the stat up passive also

[rocky oasis]

2 bar tho

[bitter gate]

yeah, might be more stressful

[rocky oasis]

278 speed max

she aint chaining shit

Shes running out of gauge FAST

maybe toss her in w/ korrina or smth

[worthy horizon]

that sounds like it'd be the call

if you can't make something work with tech eggmon

[rocky oasis]

might be able to solo latios but thatd it

[bitter gate]

i think she can do 4

actually

she has some healing as well, fwiw

and buffs/dodge to play with

[dreamy warren]

what happens to this chat if lg really dies and is replaced with lg2

[stuck mantle]

I ask dena about lg like 5 times in message never get reply. Did any one ask it as well? And got reply?

[rocky oasis]

tentacool is new?

[bitter gate]

ye

[rocky oasis]

anyone know what tentacool does

[bitter gate]

special attack/speed support

tech is toxic

not very good overall

[rocky oasis]

not sure what i expected but ill take it

+6 speed or +2

[blissful rose]

+2 unfort but with FA4 passive tho.

[bitter gate]

+2

[rocky oasis]

pincurchin should at least be able to get bulu and latios

ok maybe not bulu bc only 2 terrains

[lost juniper]

Pincurchin should be able to solo Torn

[bitter gate]

he should be able to solo a few things

even latios seems doing

doable

because of unforf + flinch

and recover

[rocky oasis]

lana looks interesting

[bitter gate]

probably the best lodge unit we have so far

[rocky oasis]

n exists

so not quite the best

unless you think she can get more than him

[tender crater]

so is lg dead

[bitter gate]

support wise, at least

[rocky oasis]

idk?

[bitter gate]

also, lodge serena exists

the issue is grid is 1 short

her gauge isn't the best

and she has to make some awkward decisions

[rocky oasis]

Gonna need to wait for feb datamine

i mean we knew jan is hse month for a long ass time

radio silence on lg

[bitter gate]

i expect some backlash to happen

and they might release an official statement

that, or letter will explain stuff

since we get our "coop mode" soon

[worthy horizon]

if no lg by feb then it's dead but it's normal for hse and lg to not be in the same month

[bitter gate]

yeah but it also died this month fsr

[lost juniper]

Shauna too

[worthy horizon]

bc hse was planned for this month

[karmic willow]

can someone

send me the list of new super awakening skills?

[worthy horizon]

https://pokemon.brybry.ch/masters/superawakening.html

[karmic willow]

oooh

[bitter gate]

i meant december

[karmic willow]

hilda popping off

crazy

then again

no need for sundering burn is odd

[lost juniper]

Hilda's awakening is amazing

[worthy horizon]

yeah december is a lot more unexplained, my best guess is they were focusing this month heavily around dc

[lost juniper]

It's great. Makes her a lot more versatile in terms of gridding

[karmic willow]

yeah

i know

i love it

anni may though

less sync does a lot for her

or maybe not

because healing

[lost juniper]

I'm definitely 10/5-ing her eventually

She might actually get Cress now

[karmic willow]

@hallow gull

ss gio s.a skill so bad

give me candy so i can 10/5 it

[bitter gate]

I wonder if the awakening lets her do any more

I guess you can blitz terrakion/cress?

maybe latias?

[lost juniper]

For Hilda? 100%

[karmic willow]

YES

I WILL 10/5 HER FIRST

like

for real

[bitter gate]

I can see her 12, I guess

[hallow gull]

?

[karmic willow]

the ss gio accident

[hallow gull]

Dont ping me just for this

[lost juniper]

She doesn't need 10/5 for Latias

[bitter gate]

surprised she hasn't done it yet

I guess it's just the extra output I guess

[lost juniper]

I tried. Latias just hits a little too hard

[karmic willow]

Argenta tho

holy shit

she's popping off like CRAZY

i'm sorry but like

sp.def

no need for wise 2 any more

[lost juniper]

I don't see Hilda getting Moltres or Tornadus, but the others should be doable now

[karmic willow]

huge af

[lost juniper]

Unless she has enough firepower and bulk to blitz through Moltres without dying

[bitter gate]

Yeah, I can see her getting 12

Anabel getting 12-13 depends on how fat her DR is

I can 100% do Terrakion, I think

[lost juniper]

Terrakion is gonna be a damage race

[bitter gate]

but since she has no healing

moltres/torn become that much harder

[karmic willow]

hilda's sa is useless against moltress

[bitter gate]

I think Larry also gets 13

with the extra damage

Moltres is the main cap, I think

he can blitz it, but he can't do while surviving, I think

[worthy horizon]

larry's is good

[lost juniper]

I don't think Larry survives long enough

[bitter gate]

all his clears are blitzes, but I'm confident he can do the remaining 13

normal zone is quite big

for steroids

[worthy horizon]

very

[lost juniper]

I doubt about Terra though

Super effective hits and it hits so hard

[bitter gate]

He has to kill fast, yeah, but you could be right

[karmic willow]

iono is huge tho

like

helps with her gameplay so much

[lost juniper]

I'd be glad to be proven wrong obviously. I have 0/5 Larry so what do I know

[karmic willow]

rika also got

so much grid adjustments

[lost juniper]

Makes the Moltres solo a lot easier

[bitter gate]

mine is 4/5 EXR and a lot of it is kill or be killed

the extra range helps him burst as fast as he can, so I feel it's mostly how fast he can kill bar 2

and sync oneshot bar 3

[karmic willow]

say goodbye to x sp.def all mp refresh 2

hell

she can afford slippery even

[bitter gate]

Dahlia's might actually let her do some more too

because she actually has two rounds of rain rather than one

[karmic willow]

yeah true

raihan can

actually do stuff on moltress now

like

i am so thinking

raihan + something to give him speed

that's it

he JUST needs to make it through bar 2

[vital ibex]

5/5 champ nate please please please please dont suck

hes my only mf i have maxed

[rocky oasis]

5/5 ssr here

[vital ibex]

ssrc?

[rocky oasis]

yep

[vital ibex]

ghost zone extension would save her

you have my prayers

[chrome halo]

I dont even know if 5/5 Anni Lillie is enough to save her kit

5/5 Zerena has room to slightlyimprove

[bitter gate]

they can give her brainpower

cause why not lol

[chrome halo]

I don't think a single Brainpower is enough lol

She needs 2

[inner turret]

@bitter gate what do you think of lisia's extension

I think it's fine, crit + a sync mult is good

[bitter gate]

I wished she got more utility and GE instead

rather than sterner stuff

Sterner Stuff is useless

[inner turret]

yeah sterner stuff and damage guard on tm is a bit random

[bitter gate]

but I can get 3-4 kills with hre

DG on TM is fine

she works best in short fights

[chrome halo]

imo she wants another dmg multiplier in place of SS

[bitter gate]

and can do Noland also

I just don't like how she's still stuck at +2

despite the fact that her statline is high

because her gauge is so stinky she needs FT

sub Sterner Stuff with Grand Entry and I think it's perfect

[vital ibex]

she isn't post mega

[chrome halo]

Stew meant her spatk buffs

[vital ibex]

ooh

at least sharp entry 2 is better on her than it is on wallace since he has no way to buff his own crit after that but hers can reactivate on mega

but yeah her pb looks to be all over the place

stop making lisia a tank when she cant even heal

[bitter gate]

she's a short tank

that's why she's designed the way she is

she's not suited long

but the other nice thing about her PB is that you can also just throw her with a cheaper eggmon

for a good amount of other places

for instance I don't need to run Sabrina/Mcchic for Latias anymore

[rocky oasis]

she feels like she was designed to be some kind of hybrid

she just isnt very good at it

[bitter gate]

I mean, she's a 2020 unit

designed to be an attention seeking taunt

who was rewarded for being at low health

and rewarding how well you kept her there

I have a full guide series on Lisia

which I'll update when her expansion happens

Masters is not particularly favorable to "bulky offensive units"

unless you are in LG and have healing

of which she is more of a short CS and now a Noland "check"

that also has access to a Defog cleanse

[rocky oasis]

for some reason theyre still holding back on the last few roles

only new one for old unit this month is anni n for some reason

marnie buff when

[karmic willow]

Marnie

Gloria

Nemona

Those are my main 3

Like

Those and seasonals

[pearl pawn]

Wow another LG dead month I NEED cookies

I miss her

[tender horizon]

PREACH

Dena releasing new lodge that clearly targets LAs but not useful

Cus no LG

[shy sinew]

also is it me or is Blossom’s kit super hype

[inner turret]

it's sleep

[shy sinew]

sleep with random stat raises, self chaining

[inner turret]

if you like sleep chains sure

[shy sinew]

but it definitely seems a bump stronger than the other two

[inner turret]

self chaining but the gauge sucks

[tender horizon]

I hate sleep chains

[shy sinew]

ft9 on charm should help get you situated, plus you have a 64% chance to get at least one gauge back just from grid passives

[rocky oasis]

she aint self chaining shit w/ 278 speed

[shy sinew]

genpool 5 stars should really be split into genpool 5 stars that are in the ticket pool vs those that aren't
one of those is much easier to get and doesn't necessarily involve gems

[worthy horizon]

yeah i wouldn't consider anything out of ticket pool to reasonably be f2p

[rotund rain]

I can’t really consider it either personally

Even some Ticket pool one’s I also can’t consider because of the pool size (see Unova/Alola)

[rocky oasis]

i still have 2/5 ryuki

[rotund rain]

Then again, Event units and some eggmons are technically limited time in accessibility

[rocky oasis]

hoping trevor shows up in my nc blue rolls

[rotund rain]

But they’re free still

[rocky oasis]

i dont think id consider jessie and james f2p anymore

bc theyve been gone so long w/ no sign of ever returning

lbr they probably wont come back

[rotund rain]

I guess I consider the event pairs + some eggmons limited time f2p

[worthy horizon]

it's always easy to say something is f2p when you have it 5/5 without trying, sucks when you manage to not have something you need though

but normally nothing in gen pool is that important

[keen flint]

no anni Steven rerun+ buffs no Brandon and a regi for the hse and every hoenn SA sucks and still no LG
My disappointment is immeasurable why do I keep playing

[worthy horizon]

anni steven is weak forever

they couldn't even give him a single buff even with the app icon being black rayquaza

and also buffing mfs for the first time

[quaint tartan]

Why does this game hate giving Raihan a gmax so much

Duraludon no gmax
Sandaconda no gmax

[rotund rain]

They don’t like to give Max Moves on seasonals not named NY Wallace for some reason for Sandaconda’s case

Oh wait, he has Max Moves just checked

Uhh… idk why

I was just online to see the datamine, and seeing all the talks about no G-Max Sandaconda let me think he doesn’t have Max Moves 🫠

[inner turret]

Tbf, how tf do you implement gmax duraludon lol

[rotund rain]

Bit of a shame, I honestly love GMax Sandaconda’s design

It’s just funny to me

🐍
🌪️

[quaint tartan]

Don’t know tbh but still

[river cliff]

Making him deplete enemy gauge would be funny

[inner turret]

hippity hoppity your gauge is my property

[lost juniper]

https://youtu.be/mD7yD1S6ScQ?si=l1fqLpEBGDDmWuEk

Raikou lowered too

[rocky oasis]

marshal ex is gonna be a thing apparently

good thing i already have his 5*

gonna be done w/ 4* PUs soon

will be able to start turning them into 5* PUs again

gonna have syca and bruno done on masters day

then gloria from rolls and the +20 4* PU at the start of next month takes care of roxie

poor korrina last

her ex is kinda terrible

[pearl beacon]

Sandstorm oofsies

Skip month for me but the f2p units looks great

Sharp entry 2 Lisia

[rocky oasis]

we got a good debuffer and a sleeper

[pearl beacon]

Yeah! And it's blossom! The cutest

[rocky oasis]

And a electric terrain setter

[pearl beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/pincurchin-sea-urchin-bachinuni-pokemon-pocket-monster-gif-1669070903211108866

[inner turret]

He stole Dubwool from me

I'll never forgive him

[pearl beacon]

There's still lodge

They better drop a new LA stage and LG on February
DC and super sparring is getting quite repetitive so fast

[dawn plume]

i mean they weren’t gonna drop a normal type dc pair

[karmic willow]

Everything is f2p from daily scout

[rocky oasis]

i mean i wouldnt mind a normal zone setter

[inner turret]

WHY NOT

[true tartan]

[rocky oasis]

gotta wonder if anyone is still trying the registeel dc cheren solo

[chrome halo]

Because normal fans should always suffer

[inner turret]

Ok sonia fan

[chrome halo]

Like the type itself

[inner turret]

remind me when was her last good unit

[chrome halo]

[rocky oasis]

larry sc steven and redlax being the only good normal types atm lol

[inner turret]

Completely forgetting about Anabel and Palmer but ok sure

[rocky oasis]

i mean lg aint the meta atm

who tf is using palmer outside of it

[inner turret]

me

I beat Morgan and Noland with him

[wise raven]

Elaine erasure smh

[inner turret]

true!

[rocky oasis]

oh yeah her too

[dawn plume]

chat should i candy lillie

i got 3 sprint candies

dunno who else even wants it lol

[rocky oasis]

yes

archer aint the worst 3/5 option

but grid is not as good as lillie

[dawn plume]

archer ugly

[rocky oasis]

archer also needs tech cake to function

idk about paulo

[river cliff]

Paulo only needs it if you want to nuke with him

[raven crane]

6/5 Nemona.

[dawn plume]

[dawn plume]

so ssa gio comes out at new years japan but it will still be december 31 for the rest of the world so the rest of world will hit 400 latios solos before 2025

[inner turret]

gotta be fast for some parts of the world

also we might hit 400 before ssag

[dawn plume]

yeah i'll still try volo but i don't like my odds

its soooo so so so sooo bad

[vital ibex]

what're all the pairs that havent solod latios yet

maybe ill give one a shot

[raven crane]

Giovanni gonna wipe the floor with Latios so quick that it won't even be New Years in Japan.

[inner turret]

there's a filter you can use on the doc

[vital ibex]

bet ty

[dawn plume]

lol they added a new healing sound effect and its VERY noticeable when doing solos that have healing passives

was doing volo again and soothing sand has the new sound effect

[sturdy steeple]

Ikr

[bitter gate]

oh, really?

interesting

[rotund rain]

I noticed that too when using Team Grassy Reaction

And it’s used for any Healing passives I think

[bitter gate]

so healing passives are now distinct from regen or something?

[rotund rain]

I kinda want to test out some other healing passives now

Can confirm Healing on sync passives and First Aid also has that SFX

Now noticed Potions also have that

[rocky oasis]

i play w/ my phone on silent mode so i dont even notice

[tender horizon]

How did this get 93 votes

Since when we have 93 active ppl in this chat

[inner turret]

voting for X options counts as X votes

[karmic willow]

yeah

anw

every pair is technically f2p

even the mix ones

i hope i can get lucas early

[true tartan]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1220271636716982302/1320849660092481577/Screenshot_20241224-052308.png?ex=676b189b&is=6769c71b&hm=f51ccdb79f8b6ea6aced11fdcd3083c77dbc562a143a743e70e4061166b28e96&

[rocky oasis]

is it snow again

[true tartan]

Avery Joins

[rocky oasis]

moltres and torn really are the big gatekeepers huh

id wonder if ss steven could get torn but his SA was kinda meh

[true tartan]

stats alone give it a big chance

he will get it

[dawn plume]

i remember when avery dropped thinking his kit seemed very nice for lg

so much healing

first field pair to hit 14, maybe i’ll grab him from select- OH WAIT

[shy notch]

Mix scout pity “select” is for fields and sprints 😔

[rocky oasis]

gonna pass on him

when he shows up in scouts

[lost juniper]

He can theoretically get it now but you need a lot of luck. 10/5 will definitely get it purely from the stat + damage increase he gets. Also him lowering sp. def naturally will be helpful on Tornadus

[median swan]

so arven and steven joining the summit next week?

and raihan

[dawn plume]

raihan again

[quaint tartan]

Sssteven my beloved so shafted

[hollow ether]

Really sad for awaken SS Steven, but probably can solo torn now

Oh my Avery become 14/14 club now? Insane

[dawn plume]

he can skip mind games and grab vigilance i guess

and flying guard or interference immunity for ls

[quaint tartan]

Paulo getting unf9 as personal ls is nice tbh

[tender horizon]

O wow

[wide citrus]

insane

15

[sturdy steeple]

avery soloing tornadus was 2269th run

[wide citrus]

(Volo uxie in case anyone is wondering)

[sturdy steeple]

thank u for appreciating my humor

[raven crane]

Collecting the fucking infinity stones of difficulty icons.

[wide citrus]

lol

[bitter gate]

Mfw 14 Avery

Lol

[bitter gate]

After doing some small tests, SA Lysandre can most likely do Uxie and Cobalion

He can just outheal with the extra damage, I think

[worthy horizon]

have 10/5?

[bitter gate]

I have the option to do it

Especially now that Anabel is a donezo unit

I'm kinda struggling to figure which between Skyla Lysandre rose and Anabel I should awaken lol

[worthy horizon]

i feel like i'd prefer anabel over lysandre for 10/5 favoritism aside

[bitter gate]

But I got to about near end bar 1 on both 5/5 attempts

I feel like Anabel only gets one more solo

Unless fsr I manage to go through more with it

Her damage reduction is 2

Which is ehh

[worthy horizon]

yeah i think i'd value that 20% a lot more than you do but idk how well that fits her needs for grabbing more solos specifically

[bitter gate]

It guarantees terrakion for me

But that's it

Moltres and torn without healing is annoying

[worthy horizon]

yeah i still think anabel's a good choice even if it doesn't sound busted right now, straight 20% dr to atttacks on 9/5 stats could get a lot done

a lot of 10/5s have much less permanent conditions and buffs

[bitter gate]

I'll try it I guess

All the same she can already reasonably duo everything so

[dawn plume]

ITS OVER

NEVER AGAIN

[bitter gate]

So Volo wins

The 400 race

[kind imp]

let's go

[bitter gate]

Cgz

[dawn plume]

my solo tips: PLEASE DON'T

[raven crane]

His historic moment.

Literally.

[median swan]

congraaaats

he saw another villain threaten to get the 400th spot and said not today

[dawn plume]

now he gets moltres /s

[bright brook]

nice nice

400 before christmas

[true tartan]

damn pretty nice

[bitter gate]

I actually managed to get to bar 2 on Cress with Anabel

[true tartan]

so, you got past the easier part lol

aight, generated all

and the updated Lance ones too

[dawn plume]

blossom gets ex while kali is now lost content

[true tartan]

yup

Katherine rerun too

and no EX

aight, I've readied the space for Volo's solo

[dawn plume]

72% uploaded

youtube is so slow for me now

[bitter gate]

Wait, blossom has an EX?

[true tartan]

no

who told you that

[bitter gate]

First event unit with an EX?

Dayum.

[dawn plume]

she does

no alt colors though

[worthy horizon]

plenty of event units have ex, idk how many are starting from 3* though

[true tartan]

you can know!

[dawn plume]

well oak used to be event

hes just main story now

[true tartan]

yep, now he's "regular"

but the tag is that of Event

now, that reminds me, who will try to solo Raikou/Cobalion with him?

[dawn plume]

meanwhile all the npc event units get 1 rerun then become lost content apparently

[true tartan]

he has both Thunder and Fire Blast, along HE1, evasions/debuff and some bit of sustain for those 2 clears

[shy notch]

Explodes to sacred sword

[worthy horizon]

i've looked into coba/torn pre-ex but it wasn't looking too great, haven't tried much since besides duoing for coba but still sucks if possible

[dawn plume]

his hp stat is pretty sucky

[true tartan]

has "enough" Defenses for it

but... is mostly debuffing all to -6 lol

[worthy horizon]

gauge and sustain are not good i'd say

[true tartan]

if anything, Tornadus is the one I was mostly interested as doable

[shy notch]

I got to bar 3 with 5* Oak a while ago. I don’t like the odds

For torn

[dawn plume]

this video got to 100% uploaded then just went back down to 0 again what the hell

i hate youtube

[true tartan]

maybe is doing the checkup

upload is the first part, then it checks the video

[dawn plume]

sometimes my shit uploads in like 10 minutes idk why this is taking so long

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMpKhahA3gQ ok it was unironically faster to just upload to icloud download on my computer and upload from my computer we will no longer be uploading on youtube mobile

[true tartan]

there it is

[dawn plume]

400/469 sync pairs

only 69 pairs cant solo latios yet (nice)

all of this suffering could have been avoided if they just gave lodge volo tm mpr on grid

[heavy sinew]

Wait what the fuck it happened

[bitter gate]

@median swan confusion synergy 9 on SS Wally

[heavy sinew]

W comgrats

[bitter gate]

[dawn plume]

damn they had this passive name sitting in the back all this time

[dreamy warren]

10/5 numbers are out

[dawn plume]

man

[dreamy warren]

who

[dawn plume]

arven

[dreamy warren]

oo that's good

for lg at least

[dawn plume]

it aight

the stat buffs from support superawakening are more impactful i think

dahlia has 2 rains now... could she get moltres? (she only has 4 solos as is she's not really an lg unit lol but maybe)

[worthy horizon]

could end up enabling a lot, dunno

extra grassy terrain means more healing too

[dawn plume]

argentas is solid...

can max both her defenses now

and an extra 40% heal

[dreamy warren]

argenta is +40% on max, def sp def on status right?

[dawn plume]

yea

also mga on each sync but thats kinda whatever

[dreamy warren]

if only sd allowed spamming

she could have chained syncs fast

[dawn plume]

metal claw is still kinda fast

not spammable fast but

its something

i think she could bruteforce torn now with all the bulk and healing she has

cresselia too maybe

shes still not getting moltres she cant beat its healing

[dreamy warren]

could SSS get torn now

[dawn plume]

i think so

will need quite a few recover mprs

dena too predictable

jacq might have the worst superawakening period

which is fine he is totally functional at 3/5

[dreamy warren]

I think ciris got a worse 10/5

[true tartan]

depends on what you compare lol

[dawn plume]

they're almost the same lol

but yeah

[dreamy warren]

ciris stat up doesn't benefit her as much as jacq stat up imo

[dawn plume]

she needed a buff more and didnt get it

jacq didnt really need a buff

[dreamy warren]

Fun fact:Ciris released alongside diantha(the unit who got the strongest general 10/5)

[dawn plume]

dianthas is so crazy lol and then you look at ss red's which is like the same but worse

[true tartan]

still, depends on what you value

fun thing is that CIris is still one of the strongest nukers in the game... but that's about it

[dreamy warren]

I wish she got strike

would have been so fun

is ciris somewhat good in lg

or is she mid here as well

[dawn plume]

mmm not really

[true tartan]

she's.... odd

[dreamy warren]

rip

[true tartan]

problem is that they never ever

solved her issue of self-setup

even with 5/5, you need MPR to set her fully

[kind imp]

resetting for a 9%

double mpr 2

[dreamy warren]

10/5 could have given her full buff set up on entry instead of pmun..,.

[true tartan]

really, was it hard to give her Honing Hit lol

[dreamy warren]

they clearly aren't afraid to make some grid tiles useless with 10/5

[true tartan]

if you manage to have a good setter for her, she hits pretty well

but Sprint over Strike is sad

[dreamy warren]

chase got team endure entry on 10/5 despite having endurance on grid so ciris getting honing hit despite having a honit hit on tm wouldn't be weird

[true tartan]

they kept her very ST

[dawn plume]

ss hilbert getting super freebie 9 when he has super freebie 2 on grid

[true tartan]

ss Blue getting Freevenge 9 when he has Freevenge 4 on 5/5*

[dawn plume]

oh selenes SA is pretty nice i missed it

4 circles instead of 2

thats wild

[dreamy warren]

Sync burst, circle on entry and smth else iirc

[dawn plume]

just adrenaline

[worthy horizon]

more gauge and less grid expense is good

[dawn plume]

the first two are the most important

[true tartan]

"first two"...

Adrenaline is the first

[dawn plume]

semantics

[dreamy warren]

Ss Wally got confusion synergy 9

ss Wally dps is real

[true tartan]

and Lucas got EQ 9 too

[dawn plume]

i like glorias SA tbh

with sync burst she has 5 tm uses on base

[true tartan]

I know she can do Latios...

EX R would've been better

[dawn plume]

so thats 5 +3 pmuns

[river cliff]

I like dojo gloria's sa

[dawn plume]

yeah where is the exr lmao

[river cliff]

Very reminiscent of gloria alt 2

[true tartan]

Alder with Extension 5*

[dreamy warren]

Lucas has very high lg potential imo

[true tartan]

Lear also had a good setting

0.5 PU for himself by using his base kit

[dreamy warren]

she made her cake into a curry and ate it

[dawn plume]

im sorry but lanturn looks like widepeepohappy

[true tartan]

Water/Electric

Burns

[dreamy warren]

I assume ny raihan gets every lg

[true tartan]

good bye Tornadus...

he is pretty ensured to get all yeah

some stages harder than others, (mostly Cress)

but he can

[dreamy warren]

what about poppy

[true tartan]

you know...

fully SA Anabel at 150 EX R

if you give her a 100 HP Gear

[dawn plume]

her flinch move being a buddy move reliant on zone that she has 3 uses of is rough... it will eat into a lot of the zone time

[true tartan]

she can have 1337 HP

[dawn plume]

holy raw

[true tartan]

so she can be

[dawn plume]

eleet

[true tartan]

no need to pick many HP tiles if you get 160 HP haha

[dawn plume]

ny poppy screams "PULL ME TO BEAT THE NEW UB!!!!" so badly

[true tartan]

now, wonder if someone saw Giovanni's HP

[dreamy warren]

extension 3 and one with extension 5 at least

[true tartan]

Gridless/Gearless, but EX R 150... Giovanni can get to 1310

[dawn plume]

they like staying true to ultra beast's base game stats

its weird

guzzlord has the highest hp stat of anything that isnt chansey or blissey

so yeah it checks out

[dreamy warren]

gio is the strongest unit in terms of pure stats I think

[kind imp]

some 10/5 and arc steven are kinda close

[brisk sapphire]

Love to see this

[sturdy steeple]

Wowowow congrats

[chrome halo]

Lemmay goat

And we got the solo before Christmas too

[river cliff]

So 200 Entei clears now?

[stuck mantle]

Wish for you that all your Christmas wishes comes true! Merry Christmas! Adas;)

[tiny hedge]

Winner for most P2W unit goes to...

[worthy horizon]

"a very" p2w unit

[rotund rain]

I honestly can’t wait to finally invest in this guy next year

But not sure if I will go this far

[gleaming cypress]

nah anni raihan has 6 10/5 solos compared to avery's 4

[bitter gate]

Meanwhile Giacomo:

[quaint tartan]

Alder getting bug zone extension 5 smells like I’m getting field ex role

Meanwhile Gloria is calling for sprint

[chrome halo]

[bitter gate]

I wonder if the zone even impacts LG

[worthy horizon]

only 10/5s with wtz extension and field exr are anni may and ss morty and they both have manual wtz moves

still a big thing everywhere including lg to have the addition of wtz

[lost juniper]

Cynthia with 8/10 solos needing awakening

[worthy horizon]

and accel on 10/5 seems independent of sprint exr, just a thing they'll slap on anything if they don't come up with better ideas if it's hs1/adr1

there's hope

[median swan]

401 http://youtube.com/post/UgkxQfPHt0wEqFWBP6GToiGoWX8CKWxZBCSC?si=d5JiQtNqECAXgM6A

[shy notch]

400 and 401 side by side

[dawn plume]

damn i barely beat him looool

not me being on the in game replays

[true tartan]

with that

all MC pairs can solo

[lost juniper]

MCChu now need to solo Torn

[true tartan]

~~worse is that it is possible ~~

[lost juniper]

If there's a para there is a way

And potions. So many potions

[shy notch]

Basically unyielding or para every move and unlimited potions

[rocky oasis]

congrats to them

[dawn plume]

regirock still king

[raven crane]

Oh wow the new Raihan looks like a new 14/14 candidate.

[lost juniper]

If he can get Cress, he gets everyone else

And he can. The real question is how low you need to go to 14/14

[karmic willow]

oh yeah

new raihan not old raihan with S.A

[wise raven]

new york raihan

[lost juniper]

Raihan about to become the second trainer with two 14/14s

Since the first will be Steven

[karmic willow]

wa

wdym

ss steven solos torn finally?

[lost juniper]

On 1.1

With SA he can do it 100%

[karmic willow]

yeah

most excited about the free mg9

[karmic willow]

wait, which form does he normally go for?

against torn ofc

[lost juniper]

Yeah it allows him to grab Vigilance so ls slot can be freed

[lost juniper]

Speed probably, but I guess normal forme can also work

[raven crane]

Dooooodge.

Wait does Speed have Recover.

[lost juniper]

I think with 10/5 he can afford to get clearheaded as ls

[lost juniper]

Yes

[raven crane]

Wicked.

[karmic willow]

you mean interference immunityu

because you know

A I R S L A S H

[lost juniper]

True

[karmic willow]

alright guys so

what grid for it?

[karmic willow]

i don't think so?

[lost juniper]

He does actually

I used speed forme to solo Uxie before

[karmic willow]

speed has double team my guy

[raven crane]

And Recover.

[karmic willow]

oh wait

oh yeah

recover too

damn

completely misseed that

[lost juniper]

Speed forme only lacks cosmic power

[karmic willow]

DAMMIT

[raven crane]

Just no Cosmic Power.

Jinx?

[karmic willow]

i'd argue

[lost juniper]

Yeah

[karmic willow]

cosmic power better

because you cannot dodge bar 3

[raven crane]

You can Recover spam!

[lost juniper]

This is a fair point tbh

But Bar 3 is a lot weaker

Bar 2 is the real problem

[karmic willow]

yeah

that's the issue

[lost juniper]

I guess he can spam zen headbutt and syncs? He has two flinches he can use VS Torn

[karmic willow]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/9002/38600?s=10&l=150&r=6&p=0&a=17011201&g=AAECAwQFDQ4PERIbHB0gKSsvNA&x=true

really thinking this

[lost juniper]

I feel like disarm is still better

Especially if you go normal forme

Over psycho boost bogo

[karmic willow]

over what exactly?

[karmic willow]

where gauge?

[lost juniper]

That

Steven is fast

[karmic willow]

yeah ik but is he fast enough

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/9002/38600?s=10&l=150&r=6&p=0&a=17011201&g=AAECAwQFDQ8TGxwdICkqKy0uNA&x=true

but sure

disarm version

for you

[lost juniper]

I guess we can try both?

[raven crane]

I love how goofy the grid looks in shape, like how Deoxys is a mutation. Totally intentional.

[lost juniper]

Not me though since I have other targets in mind

[rocky oasis]

so this?

[karmic willow]

Ya

Oh right

He weak to dark

So you want bar 2 over asap to save on heals

Give him mad strength 2

No cap

By the time swagger maxes him out it is too late

[lost juniper]

He needs clearheaded

Because if you lose recover by hitting yourself is very very rough

You could just use speed forme too

[dawn plume]

interference immunity to deal w air slash

speed forme wont cut it

cant dodge on bar 3

[shy notch]

Didn’t expect much, but a couple of flinches and a sync crit away

[true tartan]

everytime I see an image loading from Daze, I know is mostly a fun thing of a solo lol

[rocky oasis]

sync crit off +0

gl

[shy notch]

I tried Moltres first but even I knew that was a huge stretch lol

[true tartan]

lol

[heavy sinew]

Finally got Adaman

I still hate him

[blazing pagoda]

https://youtu.be/pxIFOUjTdb8?si=Y9iunWOBaDies5qg

SS Cynthia 5th solo
the timings are tighter than her pants

[true tartan]

was wondering why they were taking so much time for that one lol

guess that last statement explains it

[blazing pagoda]

This happened in the 30ish try

[true tartan]

Paralysis on Raikou, classic

same as annoying as Registeel paralyzing you on bar 1...

then you get to bar 3 and can't finish it off because of that

that bar 1 was so good lol

[blazing pagoda]

And not all ppl are willing to 10/5 SS Cyn

[true tartan]

I've seen 2 others with it haha... and they do solos too, that's why I was wondering

the person who did Tapu Bulu with her didn't seem to attempt other stage

man, those insta queues...

high technical (spam) ability for it

it living at 1% too lol

sadly she doesn't have healing or debuffing

there she goes

[rocky oasis]

for some reason ss silver feels like hed be a sprint pair if he came out today

[blazing pagoda]

God save the spam!

[rocky oasis]

ifyour hand aint falling off youre doing smth wrong

dont worry i suck at it too

[true tartan]

really wish she could get more solos

like, the only idea I can get is Uxie

try to fish for the bar change sync into high damage

but doubt she gets enough damage for it hmmm...

[blazing pagoda]

Get a para proc on DG and ohko 2nd bar without static shock EZ

[true tartan]

you can't paralyze bar 2

[blazing pagoda]

Anyway you need the sure hit to do some dmg with her on bar 2

I wanted to do some SSR Cyn solos but her dps and speed are pityful, hopefully her grid expansion will fix that

[true tartan]

yep

wish they give her extension

dunno about the other tile

[blazing pagoda]

BOGO 9

[true tartan]

guess she has a big issue with her gauge for Regirock, no?

sad her scaling is Sp. Def in grid...

[blazing pagoda]

Ye

She could get Latias?

[true tartan]

EX R, right?

[blazing pagoda]

Yeah

[true tartan]

the double defense drop...

she could skip 1 bar

the thing is which one, 2nd or 3rd

[blazing pagoda]

And now just lodge Cynthia didn't solo'ed Raikou

[true tartan]

you can always phantom force EQ

there's some kind of possibility there

[rocky oasis]

idk what to make of these passives

so you cant use atk moves w/o wasting a zone?

[true tartan]

yep

[rocky oasis]

shes gonna be using up her zones prematurely in lg i think

def designed for Dc

has a single seup weirdly enough

[dawn plume]

she’s designed specifically for dana’s ub lol

has 3 uses of steel zone

dana’s gimmick is you need to override ice zone

hmmm i wonder

[rocky oasis]

how hard does dana look

i havent checked yet

[worthy horizon]

poppy does have plenty of damage to get things done quick and potentially before field ex zone ends, no gauge issues as long as she hits and no chance of miss with piercing gaze at 3/5

[rocky oasis]

well then

it looks like everyone needs acuity / imperv

[shy sinew]

ah yes, steelix the defensive wall has its attack stat at more than double its defense stat

[worthy horizon]

just no method to actually preserve zone if soloing

the least steelix steelix ever

[rocky oasis]

not sure what you would even wanna duo him w/

[worthy horizon]

yeah

probably want to leave her in places where she can blitz down things without needing to preserve zone bc once you do need to do that it gets complicated

or she could be delaying first sync for a while

[rocky oasis]

a very weird unit

[worthy horizon]

could give her any eggmon to just survive and build sync buffs before poppy has to pop field ex

she can buff everything and debuff everything, gaugeless under zone, constant healing

could do a lot

but she has to get things done under her two zone extensions plus initial zone

60% flinch too

bit like geeta without status

but geeta lives off just attack buffs for the most part

maybe walled by coba/cress/uxie/torn and gets all the rest?

might not even be hopeless against those either and she can still manage to function outside of zone

[rocky oasis]

realistically more like you get 2 zones + maybe a bit more

those siteus berries are getting used

you cant flinch w/o wasting them

you cnt do anything w/o burning them

[worthy horizon]

yeah initial zone is gonna last 3 attacks but it means you don't need to worry about iron tail stuff before second zone kicks in

b move might eat too much time to want to spam it after second and field ex zone unless you're trying to flinch moltres down, iron tail is somewhat fast for its gauge cost

3/5 necessary for what i'm thinking about

far more of a mess below that

[worthy horizon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RfwfulFK5c

special move dr 12%

[dawn plume]

i saw this morning yeah i was surprised this was even doable

[bitter gate]

@dawn plume mfw

Rednhoho was telling you

He don't get you

Lol

[gleaming cypress]

missed the endure by 2% yeah the DR is absolutely necessary

[dawn plume]

sadge

[bitter gate]

He doesn't speak EN or is bothered to use a translator I think

Or he's trolling

Because he's playing the game in EN

[kind imp]

They changed to EN some time ago

[worthy horizon]

yea his earliest videos had the game in jp but switched over

[bitter gate]

I wonder why

[sturdy steeple]

cause the solo sheet used to prioritize eng runs over jp runs for the same investment

now i dont really care

[true tartan]

[sturdy steeple]

especially after writing all the descriptions n tips n everything

[kind imp]

they talked a bit about it at the end of this community post
http://youtube.com/post/UgkxIRHi8IVkbyCKUGPxLY4W-sIfAh1l4JOI

[true tartan]

||it was after a bit of the "drama" with Mael I think||

[kind imp]

ye

[gleaming cypress]

mareanie language

[gleaming cypress]

maybe they thought that this was a way to marginalize JP players
