#Legendary Gauntlet 17 (Registeel, Azelf, Cobalion)
river cliff
And fortunately those are very easy to farm
ebon viper
1-3 deluxe cookies?
And then u get +1 for each streak?
So how many should I aim to get
(this will be my first lg, I was too intimidated by the last one)
rocky oasis
1-3 regular blue red yellow
rocky oasis
tbh if youre a new player you pribably need those more than the purple cookie skills
you aint gonna be able to farm 1000 deluxe cookies
not w/ your roster
and not w/ the bird roasting you
chrome halo
roast it or to be roasted
ebon viper
you aint gonna be able to farm 1000 deluxe cookies
Obviously
I was asking how many should I try to get and/or how many I could get
river cliff
A few hundred of the normal cookies is a good place to start
Try rolling vigilance on as many tanks as possible
ebon viper
A few hundred of the normal cookies is a good place to start
Damn
How many clears would that take roughly?
river cliff
If you have a couple auto teams it shouldn't be bad
rocky oasis
hit the kitty 200 times
ebon viper
Raikou?
rocky oasis
yes
ebon viper
Is he that weak that he dies to a breeze?
river cliff
Comparatively yes
rocky oasis
slap lithe on everything and bum rush him w/ your strongest team 200 times in a row
chrome halo
he is the least headache boss this time
rocky oasis
and then reset after kicking him
rocky oasis
articuno is the worst lol
moltres is actually decent rn
flame body + HDB + ok stats and typing for the gen 8-9 metagame
young forge
Does Raikou also require weather changes? Going to be hell with Moltres
raven crane
Competitive Pokémon was not on the bingo…
rocky oasis
not really
raven crane
Does Raikou also require weather changes? Going to be hell with Moltres
Only on bar 3, which it just mostly hits harder.
pearl beacon
Does Raikou also require weather changes? Going to be hell with Moltres
No
Sets rain on half bar 3 but its not much
Mostly to secure hit on thunder
kind imp
Ye
rocky oasis
even w/ rain raikou hits less hard than bulu tbh
kind imp
Just Raging rain 3/shower power 3
pearl beacon
Usually by half bar 3, you are often ready tonexplode him
rocky oasis
if you can deal para and deal w/ bulu you can spray bottle the kitty just fine
pearl beacon
Para 
kind imp
No
Sets rain on half bar 3 but its not much
*Sets rain on bar and half bar
rocky oasis
very rarely relevant realistically
dawn plume
i think every ground unit besides clay naomi and lodge cynthia can solo raikou
it’s pretty brittle
rocky oasis
uxie is annoying asf for endurance solos
80% DR is beefy asf for some supports and a crit will kill you
pearl beacon
Better than Azelf at least
So we can focus all flinchers on moltres
sturdy steeple
gotta send more feedback,,
gleaming cypress
oh boy time to roll for lithe
river cliff
Flameproof and lithe party
kind imp
Or invest into status immunity
ebon viper
articuno is the worst lol
it is?
pearl beacon
5 days at most
ebon viper
i genuinely thought moltres was the worst
given how overused fire flying is
i remember it being bad lol
rocky oasis
heavy duty boots are great
rocky oasis
if fire flying is bad then ice flying is worse
like none of the benefits of fire but the same rock weakness
ebon viper
if fire flying is bad then ice flying is worse
right i forgot ice is rock weak
river cliff
Vgc is another story
ebon viper
i havent done actual pokemon in so long 
rocky oasis
moltres being able to just sit on volc is great tbh
ebon viper
im still not done with ScVi
i have 3 badges lol
im 10-15 hours in
and havent played in over a month
rocky oasis
Vgc is another story
tbh articuno was good in one format total which aint ever happening again
dawn plume
gotta send more feedback,,
need more time for the Monthly Super Sparring
rocky oasis
once terra goes articunos niche goes too
ebon viper
which bird is the best in looks and worst
river cliff
tbh articuno was good in one format total which aint ever happening again
That's gotta still be better than moltres
river cliff
Also wasn't it tera ice? So long as the snow mechanics stay I'd imagine it could do well again
rocky oasis
nah reg g just massacres articuno
rocky oasis
and double restricted is gonna be even more brutal
i dont think cuno is gonna be good w/o terra
river cliff
I just kind of ignore restricted formats since I don't really enjoy them tbh
ebon viper
was moltres ever the worst bird
river cliff
Teambuilding is way too linear
ebon viper
(please tell me it was)
ebon viper
Teambuilding is way too linear
seriously? i cant even wrap my head around it
rocky oasis
im the dumbass running chargabug
rocky oasis
yep
ebon viper
(also we might be getting too offtopic)
dawn plume
whats the consensus on the paldea mcs
dawn plume
its giving modernized fighting/electric maxie and archie
ebon viper
but then again im not good at telling whos good and who is not
dawn plume
with how similar the kits are to each other
rocky oasis
w/ more reliable terrain setting than maxie
ebon viper
I think they're solid but they're not going to age great
thats bad considering I WANT THEM
river cliff
The reliability is pretty huge
dawn plume
strikes will always age poorly
ebon viper
why so
dawn plume
florian is already making people write off ash lol
ebon viper
power creep?
dawn plume
yeah
ebon viper
florian is already making people write off ash lol
ash came 2.5 years ago
2.5 years at the top is insane
dawn plume
their jobs are do damage big
river cliff
strikes will always age poorly
Unless you're nc bianca or AS cynthia
ebon viper
or red apparently
dawn plume
so in the future to sell them you need to do damage bigger
river cliff
Who are barely strikes tbh
ebon viper
but its only been 1.5 year
rocky oasis
nc bianca is a support lite
split bloom
florian is already making people write off ash lol
itms even crazier that people actually want florian after everyone called him a loser 
tender horizon
Florian and Juliana arent gonna age because theyll synergise with all the Paradox pokemon
ebon viper
itms even crazier that people actually want florian after everyone called him a ...
they seem good
rocky oasis
i dont even think about bianca as a striker
rocky oasis
shes practically a support tbh
a very weird support
her nuke is nonexistent
the only striker thing about her is puercing blows
tender horizon
She has a good nuke in Rally
graceful folio

ehhh. lg's going to be itchy huh. why does it have to be this way?
split bloom
the switch up is crazy

While I do agree their overall look is very anonymous, calling them losers I think that's exaggerated haha

I...think I'll be avoiding that tab
keen flint
I’m expecting it to crash like when unfiltering sync pairs late into a gauntlet run
ebon viper
What meta does to people I swear
but florian looks to be a good unit
and the bikes are fun
graceful folio
but florian looks to be a good unit
He very looks a good unit
tender horizon
ehhh. lg's going to be itchy huh. why does it have to be this way?
Just pretend Raikou is Latious
ebon viper
florian might be a loser, but miraidon isnt
sour isle
Just pretend Raikou is Latious
Got it
ebon viper
Just pretend Raikou is Latious
i read that as latinas and remembered shadow
why do people consider florian a loser tho
HE IS LITERALLY YOU
people are calling themselves losers
(provided they played scarlet and violet as the male)
dawn plume
in terms of lg performance nothing this month is close to ssa gio right

i havent looked at the seasonals yet
holy paragraph buddy move

if 0 lum berries its just a normal energy ball
tender crater
Busted part is that she recovers berries fast
graceful folio
Gotcha 
dawn plume
she has flinch and free moves on gauge
and piercing blows innate
so uh
yeah wow this kit is ridiculous LOL
inner turret
She might be a 14/14 lol
dawn plume
tornadus will be hard cuz it will become flinch immune and shes weak to flying
but i mean
bianca managed…
inner turret
? Moltres is never flinch immune
dawn plume
she is
dawn plume
oh yeah she has para on grid too
ok yeah nvm she got it
i wish marley had para on grid she’d be a great dc unit
inner turret
Real that's the 1st thing I checked lol
shy notch
2025 on track to introduce a new 14/14 unit every month
inner turret
Havent checked her kit yet
shy notch
I was excited about her being gaugeless but she also has ramming speed. Guess I’ll ignore that
dawn plume
shes valerie if she wasnt awful
shy notch
Vampire unit that can actually max her own crit, what a concept
river cliff
Remind me, if a pair changes form upon syncing, do their new stats and passives apply to their first sync?
chrome halo
iirc no
heavy sinew
itms even crazier that people actually want florian after everyone called him a ...
He's still a loser (I didn't know he was revealed and haven't seen his kit)
chrome halo
Sidney still uses his CS3 for the first sync instead of CS5 post mega
river cliff
K that's what I thought
chrome halo
wait their post mega stats are used, but not the passive
heavy sinew
Unsure if I wanna do this LG
river cliff
I'm messing with double bugsy on uxie, I'm just trying to find the best route to get enough sync buffs to skip bar 2
heavy sinew
bird sucks
chrome halo
omg does Palentine's Mallow seriously get +SpDef for allies on every TM use???
this shit is so good
karmic willow
it's voting time...again
actually nvm
sidney on uxie duty
doesn't moltres get clearheaded?
river cliff
I don't think so
rotund rain
it doesn't
river cliff
I'm a bit conflicted on where to put Maxie
karmic willow
I'm a bit conflicted on where to put Maxie
i mean it's an easy duo on moltres with Lodge blue
dawn plume
he SLAUGHTERS raikou but also losing sun on bar 3 is very annoying
tender horizon
Him on Raikou
ebon viper
are eggmons good for lg?
tender horizon
Theres other duos for moltres
ebon viper
or does it require painful reseting
river cliff
This is the one mode they are good in
ebon viper
how much so?
dawn plume
lg is like the main mode to use them
ebon viper
and how annoying are they to use
river cliff
Team filler
tender horizon
how much so?
Fodder
dawn plume
cuz they r trash otherwise
inner turret
For people who remember about the repository and who record their clears, I've made a new submission form to only submit individual clears, so that you can use this one if you only have a few clears to submit instead of having to make a whole sheet for that. It's also linked in the repository itself, and in the original form 
tender horizon
Optimising
river cliff
Filling out buffing kits
ebon viper
ah, what do they do
river cliff
Depends on the eggmon
ebon viper
like what eggmons are good for this lg

can i find a list of eggmon and what they do somewhere?

yes actually

all 3 of them have the same superawakening passive lol
karmic willow
how viable is caitlin solo on raikou anyways
dawn plume
adrenaline and circle extension + on entry
karmic willow
asking me to NOT get paralyzed is PAIN
river cliff
how viable is caitlin solo on raikou anyways
It doesn't seem terrible
river cliff
Uxie with dewgong
river cliff
Well double bugsy is certainly possible
Just need a casual 5 sync buffs going into bar 2
inner turret
wat da hail is + infinity
it's repeatable so it can be buffed forever
ebon viper
oh
tender crater
He'll rerun when Chase event reruns
inner turret
lost content
there's nothing to be lost here
tender crater
Not tied to a season
warped axle
will 100 wins be difficult due to Moltres? I want to get the title and failed the last time I attempted it
river cliff
Yes
dawn plume
gym brock will be a great partner for alt selene
river cliff
I'd wait until next gauntlet
dawn plume
not as good as alt elio but he’s SELFISH!!
warped axle
last time I tried it was Torn/Steel/someone else and I got locked out of Torn counters and people to survive Steel
the ones after I didn't have time to go for 100 wins
warped axle
damn ok
river cliff
And a high (or low?) sanity stat
dawn plume
if they got flinch or weather prioritize moltres
warped axle
I think I have every non-Awakened-only weather pair or almost all of them but my luck for Flinches isn't great
dawn plume
still mad af about the lg banner having eusine cuz he sets weather once if superawakened lmao
warped axle
I kinda like that Ingo is both for Raikou and Moltres
river cliff
Eh, he doesn't do much for raikou
warped axle
ik, he's "intended" due to being ground + weather but far better for moltres
shy notch
I forget if thunder’s accuracy is lowered in sun/sand in this game
river cliff
I don't think so
warped axle
sun/rain only has fire/water buff and solarbeam/solar blade/thunder/hurricane stuff in PoMa iirc
and hail for blizzard
guess I'll just do my villains-only runs and then farm cookies this time 
lost juniper
I forget if thunder’s accuracy is lowered in sun/sand in this game
Only in sun
The same applies to hurricane too
tender horizon
100 wins might be tough
Not nowadays
Back in the days i thought 10 Moltres clears is tough
rotund rain
I remember I can’t imagine the concept of doing a duo clear against Moltres
tender horizon
Same!
dawn plume
i didnt write my teams down last time moltres was here
mighta been a mistake
lodge shauna sleepchain raikou or flinch moltres 🤔
lost juniper
Sleep on Moltres with weather
dawn plume
oh wait i did the math on this once
here
5 sync buffs to one shot bar 2 if cs2, 6 sync buffs if no cs2
assuming 5/5 ex
lodge n but less hellish
reason being normal type bp increase and moltres having bad def reduction mitigation (only trained body 3)
rotund rain
Oh yea, I honestly can’t wait to use Lodge Shauna in LG for the first time 
river cliff
How many does it take with no ex?
torpid spade
can somone update the doc to be LG18
i'd like to see what team we already have in a clean format, please 💚
dawn plume
idk about no ex
shy sinew
can somone update the doc to be LG18
Doc doesn’t update until it is officially confirmed so that’s people who avoid datamines aren’t spoiled
torpid spade
When does the next LA start
February 7th - February 20th
torpid spade
is it better to save units to do runs that require low move levels or higher?
e.g my 3/5 Ash on a run that needs 3/5, or use it in a run that only needs 1/5 because it'd be easier?
assuming solos
plush nimbus
Presumably the 3/5 solo is harder so
And tbh you’re gonna need some solo worthy units on Moltres
Raikou and Uxie are piss easy
torpid spade
true..
so it's best to compare the three, see which one needs the highest investment, and then use the unit (solo) for that
assuming i have the correct move level/extra nergy
vale cliff
So planning ahead with my teams, im gonna need Rock/Water for Moltres, Ground for Raikou, and Ghost for Uxie, assuming I don't decide to try and off-type. I have at least one EX-d pair for each of those (technically not Ground but I will by the time this LG starts) so hopefully that helps.
LG is just fighting each of these Legendaries in their Hard Arena fight right? So practicing on those would help me gauge how ready i am?
vale cliff
ok gotcha
dawn plume
yeah practicing there is good
dawn plume
on uxie?
might just do the torchic clear again it’s just easier now
he still needs someone to max crit lol
thick dust
What's the special deluxe cookie for this run?
river cliff
a wallace clear post grid expansion?
Seems like pairing him with support dragonite is a given
karmic willow
can someone remind me
are there any mons that do both status and interference like venomoth?
river cliff
Lucy
karmic willow
to use theme skills or to NOT use theme skills....
i mean there is alder + venomoth > uxie
river cliff
Technically there's also charizard, snorlax, kangaskhan, hypno, and exeggutor
karmic willow
you know
i almost forgot that until i remember
lodge lana exists
ughhhhhhhhhh my god
MELA
how strong is she on moltres even
river cliff
Depends on how much you want to rely on iron head flinches
blissful rose
I can already see myself having trouble with Raikou instead.
Literally have no teams and I'm not sure how cheap can I go after the solos. 
karmic willow
@rocky oasis
HOLD THE PHONE
HOW DID YOU DO FRIGGIN LODGE SYCAMORE on Moltres even
okay that was super unexpected
karmic willow
also
damn
i can't believe that we'd have to actually slot in ss cyrus onto raikou because the lack of a better target
unless
jynx cyrus
nvm
it's really funny because most of my dark types went to moltres
vale cliff
So far, based on my doing the Very Hard stages in LA to test my teams out, Im able to take down both Raikou and Uxie with only a single team. My only weak point rn is Moltres, which i can usually get down to about half of its final HP bar before my first team goes down. So thats what i need to work on
karmic willow
you know what
phoebe fall should be on moltres
ughhhhhhhhhh
DAMN YOU Alder
he's got flameproof, impervious
all the good stuff on moltres
Anyone here got an Alder?
I'll need 4/5 if anyone is interested
dawn plume
i have him 4/5
karmic willow
do you also have bugsy holiday?
I wanna see if this team can deck moltres
the numbers SHOULD be feasible
shy sinew
not me having an extra move level on alder and being short one on bugsy
sacred thicket
man im excited for the new gauntlet
shy sinew
sounds good, I'll give it a run rn
shy sinew
oh I don't even have him EX and no spirits at the moment
karmic willow
oh I don't even have him EX and no spirits at the moment
i need the zone for it
sacred thicket
does bugsy have passives that nullify conditions under bug zone?
karmic willow
with Circle and Hyper beam, you could quad queue and effectively skip half bar 2
sacred thicket
ooooh
karmic willow
no
i'm more focused on this
User Sets Circle: Team Phys & Spec Boost ↑1 9
Has a chance (100%) of increasing the Physical Moves ↑ Next effect and Special Moves ↑ Next effect of all allied sync pairs by 1 rank when the user applies a circle to the allied field of play.
shy sinew
yeah I can totally see that being relevant against Moltres, I could theoretically run it on the 1st but 19/20 support coins
karmic willow
i wish you luck
get that shiet
put it in the doc
B move should be used bar 1 for Zone
Circle Bar 2

oh i see i see
karmic willow
still
if bugsy had propelling 5
maybe he could speed the gauge in a more stable manner
perhaps giving him haste is better bc no impervious
burn animation gives you more time for gauge
idk
@shy sinew have fun
it can and SHOULD work
sacred thicket
burn could give u more time for gauge if you dont mind the recoil damage
sacred thicket
oh in that case its fine
sacred thicket
it shouldnt be an issue for like lowering ur damage too since alder is special

@sturdy steeple any suggestions on flint?
Dodge tank or deal dmg?

uxie is probably going to be food for piercing blows users

Teams i have that i know can 1-team clear each legendary. I think i can get a 2nd team together for Raikou if i offtype hard enough. Moltres im less sure of but i will try for sure to get a 2nd clear
Moltres: Team 1 -[Eusine/Suicune, Winona/Pelipper, NC Blue/Zapdos]
Raikou: Team 1 - [Courtney/Camerupt, Nita/Landorus, NC Bianca/Virizion], Team 2 - [ SS Lear/Goldhengo, Colress/Klinklang, SS Elesa/Rotom]

We even have 24 hours rest, how convenient
dawn plume
i blame super sparring for shortening every event now
can't get too mad though cuz it has good rewards...
river cliff
I'll like it until I have all the dc pairs at 3/5
worthy horizon
i think every ground unit besides clay naomi and lodge cynthia can solo raikou
hapu can't, attempted her with a duo with support rhyhorn and i don't think that's enough either, need more spdef and gauge prob
dawn plume
ok honestly forgot hapu existed
river cliff
She's going to be busy tanking for my 1/5 as cynthia on moltres anyway
worthy horizon
lodge rika also doesn't get it, lodge volo has defensive stuff and can disable raikou's speed/rain passives
not sure how far she can get
still the rest of the ground types do solo raikou it seems
river cliff
Most of them look pretty painful
dawn plume
lodge volo solo is awful
but i dont think anyone will even go for it
his sandstorm on moltres is too important
river cliff
I'm not sure where I want to put courtney
The sun stuff and flameproof is nice, but so is super effective damage and speed debuffs
worthy horizon
moltres
she's too good for it
maxie does need 5 exr for his raikou solo but it looks potentially lowerable to 4 or 3/5 exr
no overcap used there
dawn plume
didnt see anyone talk about it but anni lillie's 5/5 grid is fucking hilarious
this striker is outdated? screw it, gaugeless and 90% ontype damage boost
a month ago we were thinking well master fair 5/5 grids won't be too impactful then they drop this LMAO
ancient thunder
Let's wait for Anni Steven's Clear Power Up 9 and Hit: Physical Boost ↑ 2

i had courtney/nanu running for moltres without too much trouble
sturdy steeple
im using courtney again on moltres yeah

What is the fastest/most efficient way to (manually) farm Silver (not gold) Deluxe cookies in the new LG?
just do 1 easiest stage over and over, resetting after 1 clear? or go for ~10-12 clears, then reset?
upper lance
Too much ? Actually trying with Haxorus instead.
worthy horizon
What is the fastest/most efficient way to (manually) farm Silver (not gold) Delu...
if you can get to like 20-30 or whatever you can get that isn't super slow that'd be the sweet spot
but moltres makes farming far more difficult than usual
it's the same strategy for 3* deluxes (outside of doing your streak ofc)
raven crane
A new gauntlet, so the chat is relevant again lol
Hope they discontinue Ranked Super Sparring for four months.

It's pretty shit outside of this mode.
river cliff
Outside of any rotation with uxie
warped axle
Hopefully there's enough options for me to Auto Molt- oh
raven crane
Outside of any rotation with uxie
Gauge is very helpful everywhere in this mode no?
warped axle
she can run other LS now
worthy horizon
i think you can get a third auto team if you have ny raihan
otherwise you need to do semi-auto or full manual to keep farming, barely possible to get auto to reliably remove sun and it stands no chance within sun
river cliff
Gauge is very helpful everywhere in this mode no?
Ngl I thought that she got super freebie, you right
river cliff
I'm now slightly more optimistic about steven
river cliff
Anni lillie is never getting a candy from me

Archie and Maxie about to get another Solar Surge/Shower Surge
ancient thunder
Is there a sync multiplier for weather? Not like Weather Warrior 9
But like Inertia and Haymaker
river cliff
Just give them a primal reversion node and call it a day
raven crane
Is there a sync multiplier for weather? Not like Weather Warrior 9
But like Iner...
Like, one that scales?
warped axle
Just give them a primal reversion node and call it a day
won't help unless they actually get buffs with it. Look at Steven.
ancient thunder
Like, one that scales?
Sure
raven crane
Bruh.
ancient thunder
It wouldn't scale, but you get what I'm asking
worthy horizon
there's other weather specific ones like solar flare but i forgot all the names
warped axle
like syncing into Primal changes their base passives SS7 and flood/drought alert 9
ancient thunder
Like a flat 2x multiplier on weather. Any weather
kind imp
Is there a sync multiplier for weather? Not like Weather Warrior 9
But like Iner...
Weather sync up
worthy horizon
and those come with numbers
kind imp
Zinnia has that
raven crane
Like a flat 2x multiplier on weather. Any weather
That's just Weathered Warrior.
river cliff
Built in water/fire guard would be funny
raven crane
And yeah I guess Weathered Sync Up.
ancient thunder
Ok, so there isn't one
warped axle
though Solar/Shower Surge doesn't buff their syncs at all
river cliff
What is nate even doing this rotation?
kind imp
Getting hit by thunders during fly
vale cliff
can you reuse pairs during LG or is it like HSE where once you use a pair in a battle you cant use it again?
raven crane
Latter.
kind imp
Can't use again
vale cliff
figured
raven crane
The point of the mode is to go as high as possible with what you have.
bitter gate
@thick dawn very abrupt question but how invested is your anni Lillie 
river cliff
Pretty safe clear, it can definitely be done cheaper but idk where else I'd use sylveon

enough for all the new tiles

Pretty safe clear, it can definitely be done cheaper but idk where else I'd use ...
investment level?
median swan
Pretty safe clear, it can definitely be done cheaper but idk where else I'd use ...
i tried this and i barely got it lol, is your diantha EX R
river cliff
4/5 exr
It didn't feel like the exr was super necessary tho
I had speedy entry 2 on diantha and healthy healing on sylveon, no idea if they were optimal
bitter gate
being azelf and registeel
You don't think she can do more?
Is regirock not in her wheelhouse?
Or I guess Latias?
thick dawn
key words bare minimum
at the end of the day they're potion mpr clears
but removing gauge from the question altogether which is like her biggest problem in a solo is brazy
bitter gate
Yeah, it opens up her capacity significantly that I think she can do much more
I think only Moltres and I guess Cress are hard caps
true tartan
only Moltres imo
river cliff
Terrakion seems difficult
bitter gate
True
Lillie is stressed for maintenance regardless
But she has some small helpful tools here and there
ancient thunder
My 10/5 Diantha will solo Raikou
Trust 🙏
worthy horizon
oh i forgot i got 5/5 diantha while rolling for dahlia
river cliff
Handy if sa candies ever become accessible
worthy horizon
yeah i'd be surprised if the duo was possible at 4/5 ex
river cliff
Idk what investment skippingmud had but 5/5 wouldn't make much difference
worthy horizon
5/5 has initial synchro healing, i tried it without and idk how it'd work
not sure how it'd work even with it but it should at least be better off and is already proven
simulating 4/5 ex i just barely get into bar 3 and die
but i tried with speedy entry 2 and vigilance
might end up wanting double vigi
river cliff
Would healthy healing make any difference?
I think speedy entry is probably excessive
worthy horizon
dunno but i'm not willing to roll for it
river cliff
Very fair in this economy
worthy horizon
ok nvm vigi broken
no initial synchro healing or role needed
get good propulsion procs, zone for second and third syncs, save third sync for bar 3
but that's still 60% health left
raven crane
Yay my 4/5 Diantha got a spot.
median swan
5 sylveons to manage this gauntlet 
dawn plume
why another sylveon bruh
shy sinew
5 sylveons to manage this gauntlet <:DianthaSmile:637919666366316544>
A perfectly reasonable number 
dawn plume
sylveon reached crobat numbers
and jolteon still only has 1
i thought she would get goodra now i think bede and rapidash will be a field pair
oop
raven crane
5 sylveons to manage this gauntlet <:DianthaSmile:637919666366316544>
Good.
median swan
and jolteon still only has 1
trace in november confirmed
raven crane
Damage Challenge Shauna looks great yeah?
dawn plume
she's good
median swan
pretty good yeah
median swan
draining kiss is always fantastic
river cliff
i thought she would get goodra now i think bede and rapidash will be a field pai...
I like goodra so I am saddened by another sylveon
dawn plume
valerie if she wasnt dogshit
river cliff
But hey she has scholar's sync 4 now
median swan
it opens up his duo partners by a lottt
bitter gate
Ironically, Valerie can solo Raikou too
median swan
sadly it doesn't help him get that damn latios solo lol
bitter gate
Moltres is a blessing in disguise because you can just filter units semi-easily
AS Steven/Fall Shauntal/SS Kris/SS Ingo you can throw in there
idk if I want to deal with the Elaine solo
mine is 4/5 EXR, the existing minimum is what, 5?
worthy horizon
making units sorting a little easier is all moltres has going for it i'd say
but terrakion is the same but better to handle so that exists
bitter gate
the roster itself is "easy" to sort in that anything with status that isn't a simultaneous Moltres check goes to Uxie
whatever weather/stun you have goes to moltres, just buildaround moltres
and while Raikou is no Bulu or Latios, the difficulty is low enough that you can let the scraps handle it
median swan
it's way funner to teambuild for this than lg17 but the clears itself are going to be nightmares
bitter gate
I think we may subsconsciously underestimate Raikou
median swan
trying that diantha sylveon duo i got para'd like 4 times and flinched once so i already know how that stage is gonna go lmao
bitter gate
because this is the first time he's coming out
dawn plume
elaine needs that 5/5 for moltres
bitter gate
You also have to make some decisions
eg do you want your summer acerola to be a Moltres duo or
dawn plume
flinch rate goes from 33% to 54%
bitter gate
just solo grind uxie
dawn plume
at 5/5
bitter gate
flinch rate goes from 33% to 54%
that's a 4/5 tile lol
i think the 5/5 tile gives her more healing
median swan
my biggest whatifs rn are stuff like eusine who's SE against moltres bar 2 but has trap
worthy horizon
I think we may subsconsciously underestimate Raikou
raikou definitely feels like a relief right now but it'll pose its own annoying problems like everything else can for sure
dawn plume
the annoying problem in question: paralysis
worthy horizon
yep
bitter gate
Do I want to do the Jasmine solo again
worthy horizon
still gladly taking it over latias or registeel
dawn plume
lodge diantha isnt getting any solos but i think she can slaughter moltres bars 1 and 3
bitter gate
Maybe I'll do that again
dawn plume
another classic lodge striker that relies too heavily on on-type damage
river cliff
I'm looking forward to doing leon + fuecoco on uxie again
bitter gate
I'll probably also do some cheap Lisia duo against Uxie
true tartan
vital ibex
I like goodra so I am saddened by another sylveon
same here
but im not too bummed cuz for me its a case of not liking most chars affiliated with goodra
now if raihan gets one however
trust he'll get another seasonal
dawn plume
i guess they're saving goodra for a gacha
still think the rest of my dc predictions will come true
just move bede to a field pair
vital ibex
how many more rivals do we need to get thru
dawn plume
5 more after this
vital ibex
is that with the ones we face dc already or overall
dawn plume
just the ones we face in dc
dawn plume
i thought he was coming this month...
he'll have archeops most likely
so he won't be next month either
cuz rock and flying field already exist
vital ibex
i really hope hop gets dubwool some other way
giving him pincurchin out of all things
wdym you dont want free normal zone
chrome halo
chrome halo
Fortunately no overlaps this time but it's quite weird to plan some pairs
Idk what to do with 1/5 V Calem
median swan
n bede bianca hau
i hope after these 4 they make pairs with the other mons that don't have one yet like goodra and dubwool
worthy horizon
used cynthia ex but not necessary probably
median swan
i was about to ask if you needed her speed debuffs and then i actually checked the screenshot lol
worthy horizon
oh yeah i intended to use it but i forgot to keep it debuffed
might be worth not worrying about, gauge still sucks
ft2 cynthia lp9 marshal
river cliff
Wonder if that's better than marshal + sycamore on moltres
worthy horizon
oh yeah probably not lmao
forgot about that
i wouldn't let go of any potential moltres clears
gleaming cypress
wonder if people will get their gym leader units out in time for solos lol
karmic willow
Both are going to moltes for me
Dana moltres? Damnnnn
But for naomi isn't tyrantrum (diantha lodge) better? Or am i missing something?
karmic willow
Too much ? Actually trying with Haxorus instead.
Too much
Do it with gladion lodge
Because falkner himself has confusion
Lana can do both
karmic willow
worthy horizon
can't downgrade 10/5 ss lysandre's partner (support quaxly) but it becomes so much cleaner
can clean nuke bar 2 with b move bc can afford to save a rain for it and skip bar 3 second half with plain steam eruption
river cliff
A little tight but guzma sure isn't doing anything against the other two
median swan
how did you maintain para
river cliff
He doesn't quite 1 shot bar 2 so you have some time to stall and get another sync ready, by which point you can apply paralysis again
median swan
i mean did you go through any half-bar without para
bitter gate
I did the same clear with NY Lisia twice, it should work
with anything with a nuke that's good
key is to time the sync at the fresh 2nd bar into a strong hit
median swan
should be easy with guzma since pin missile is an easy instaqueue
bitter gate
oh wait
river cliff
Yeah, I did it with brendan last time but this is better
river cliff
Depends on if she's electric weak
median swan
she is
river cliff
Hm
median swan
she has confusion tho
bitter gate
I wonder if I can do it with Lodge May
Or I guess even Lusamine, since it's not like she
nvm, she'snot
the bad pair she used to be anymore
would wally be too much?
ancient thunder
I'm unable to access the doc rn
But, does diantha have a raikou solo?
ancient thunder
Cool
I got close, lol
heavy sinew
Egg time
worthy horizon
there's 2 grids and 2 videos listed for it, both use electric guard ls
skinny uses moonblast mgr and snow uses tm mpr
ancient thunder
Yeah, I'm using EG on her
And I opted for Moonblast MGR
I was gonna make a joke saying that "this better kill or I will quit"
Not only did it not kill, I didn't crit and got paralyzed
bitter gate
nay
I missed the quad queue lol
but I can finally do the eggmon Rose Moltres duo
karmic willow
can't downgrade 10/5 ss lysandre's partner (support quaxly) but it becomes so mu...
Video soon?
ancient thunder
The stupid electric dog natural crit Diantha twice in a row
worthy horizon
can record one
karmic willow
The stupid electric dog natural crit Diantha twice in a row
That clear
Imma do diantha and clefable
2 pots and a dream
ancient thunder
I reached the final bar. It's not that hard to pull off, imo
I have only a little bit of time trying it
It's just a bit of rng hell
karmic willow
For non max diantha i mean...
worthy horizon
messed up how it's "supposed" to go but it's one way to do it
ended up just hitting the quadqueue like the original run but it wasn't required bc i had rain saved
and idk how to damage control bar 3 consistently yet, prob won't know by the time i get it in gauntlet either
ancient thunder
Finally
true tartan
recorded?
ancient thunder
Absolutely not
I wasn't really planning to, lol. Just planning out units
But, I suppose I could do it again if I wanted
dawn plume
well it's been done before
unless this is any lower investment like no exr
but if you have her superawakened i'm gonna assume you exr'd her too lol
ancient thunder
Frame one :)
ebon viper
ah thanks
