#Chezei's Crazy CS Challenges and Collection
1 messages · Page 4 of 1

you're welcome

Working on battle 4/5 right now... this solo is harder than I expected
i thought you were just gonna start now
I mean all my recordings have failed so I need to go through and do them again 
didn't expect you to be on battle 4/5 
Who knows, maybe it'll take me the rest of the night
well my pokemon sleep bed time is 12:45 AM ET, so get it done before then 
that's like 90 minutes for ya!
Hopefully I'll at least get the clears done so you can try to guess the theme! There are a few layers to it this time 
the only thing i'm good at in terms of dissecting layers is when i eat cake
guessing themes ain't my schtick lol
Valid
i'll try my best 
You got this! At least the top few levels
I still haven't even touched the gauntlet
Been kinda busy
You asked for a Lisia solo right? 
First time using OG Elesa in CS!

Why squint? 
Alrighty, here's this week's clear pic! The first theme is pretty obvious, but there is a second, hidden theme within it! I'm curious to see if you'll need any hints for it!
One of the sync pairs has a typing that’s weak to an ally? Doesn’t work for the solo tho
I didn't even think about that ngl
yeah im outta ideas 
Your first hint is ||Why is Olivia there?||
O L C E

Ohhh, i get it
||It’s an ontype theme
||

Wait
Will isn't Psychic weak 
Will isnt weak to psychic or fairy
He's Dark weak this time
Who’s cole
Rancer falls asleep in 6 minutes so we need to guess this theme quickly 
You're close!
Honestly i dont know what the theme is 
Olcllclee
It's me!
If only rancer was awake to see this victory 
Just ping him 
He'll see it when he wakes up!
But yeah, this week was the irl name clear! I've been wanting to do it for a while now, so with Karen being Rock-weak, it seemed like the perfect opportunity!
Wait, there's some cryptid message in Chezei's clear? Chezei just stepped up the game 
I figured you'd appreciate it!
I can't have all my themes be easy! 
Upload it because the current solo is 5/5

I'm working on getting the other recordings now so I can upload the whole video, but if I can't do that I'll just do the solo on its own
cleocllle

Had to sneak this clear in while we had the half-sync param 
so much syncing
it's fun to spam sync moves
i forgot how good lear’s sync animation is
Yesss I love Lear's sync
case of the mondays, lemme see whats up here 
Cleo is a cool name btw, i dunno anyone with that name (till now) 
Thanks! I really like it
the name or the theme?
"yes"
also the name of a canadian women's clothing store, Cleo lol
My name lol
Though I am glad I did get to do this theme
Maybe I'll have to visit so I can have a look
This is a full 12.5K clear of the Pokémon Masters EX Champion Stadium, specifically the Johto CS from the week of Aug 14. This clear features teams with only one or two members each wherein each member's name begins with one of the letters in the name "Cleo".
I'm glad I finally got to do this run! I've been meaning to for a while, but I kept f...


sorry I didn't ping you, I had to rush out right after uploading so I could get to work 
You had me worried that it was actually Sunday
Ugh that means I should start it soon 
dawn solo 
you better not forget the 100 free pulls too
@fading mortar you havent reminded her 
and you have GoFest, so that's the weekend 
So much to do

I have failed!
Just remind me now 
Spend your tickets now 
smh, i didn't remind y'all
I got 5

ticket scout update 
I don't know if I have enough tickets 

Definitely not enough
The only gen pools I don't have at 5/5 (not counting Olympia and Drasna) are Colress at 4/5 and Shauna at 2/5
Time to go through all my Kalos tickets and get Serena or Clemont every time 
I don’t have Shauna at all and I’m still anticipating only Serena and Clemont pulls 
33% chance my ass
Here's hoping you both get her 
I only got my first copy from the guarantee on the paid scout when she was released
|| i honesty haven't used shauna so idk her kit ||
Basically Atk/Crit Support
and there's spike shield or whatever its called
And has Sync Burst so she doesn’t need grid for MPR
She’s also a free Mini Potion All user
I'm working rn, but I'm pretty much done with GoFest!
I'm also thinking about doing what may be my single worst theme idea yet 

Skipping CS thème
Nah I've done that before on accident 
If it’s a theme I can guess when I’m tired after walking over 33k steps, it’s a bad theme 
No no, I mean bad because I don't think anyone will be able to guess it
It's way too contrived
I can’t even guess your simple themes, I’m not even gonna try here
Theme: all the Pokémon I caught on GoFest 2023 this weekend
That would imply that I kept track of them 
Name theme of my pet dog

“The first letter of the 6 sync pairs I actually don’t have”
You're giving me some great ideas here Rancer 
Should have a month where you choose the worst themes 
I love that idea
Next month is Kalos 

Is there a theme I can guess from your first clear yet. Clock is ticking 
Your mum's name theme

I LOL’ed at that Aurochs
Okay scratching my idea for now
the types don't match up well enough and I don't have the brainpower to brute force an off-type
Sneak peak into it: I would have to use both Tates and Thorton in teams 
I hope no one Steels that theme
They'd have to be Psychic to understand it
Your response Rocks, just so you know
I'm glad you liked it! I'm now out of types to pun 
Just make your theme a pun 
Imma just drop it here: all attacks must be ontype and AOE theme
I don't think there are any AOE Fighting type moves that we have
Mfw the sync doesn’t crit
I was wondering why it did so little damage. I just figured it was because Serena is only 1/5 
Not even 3/5 smh
Frequent flyer miles


It's much simpler than that
Nothing is simple at 12:22 AM 
Valid

I’ll take a look in the morning 
Maybe this will give it away
I was gonna say pairs with multiple types of moves but ssmorty doesn’t fit
All 3 have confusion!
...i don't know actually
I do want to do the "all pairs share a move" clear eventually, but that's not this week!
Will the fourth one clear it up? 
Wait is it monotype (but with main series types)?
It's not, though that would have been easier than this one 
How about the less-than-grand finale?
Lance really just removed all his debuffs to prevent leon from getting a big nuke
It was very rude of him
Tbh I was surprised the Max move did that much with crit shield up
If you need a hint: ||I would never use Giovanni willingly||

oh em gee palentine elesa
She's still my go-to Flying DPS tbh 
As she should. 
did you also do optimize team
I did! I was curious as to how different mine would be from yours
The optimize was so close to making actually congruent themes
I was thinking “every team has a legendary or pseudo legendary” at one point
The first team was great, the second team was funny, the third team made me want to tear my hair out, the fourth team confused me, and the fifth team I accidentally made work first try
i had a pretty comparable experience
tho my fighting team was way easier to use, hop just obliterated it
I was fully expecting it to give me C Hop and Aura Cynthia for the Fighting team like it gave you, so I was like
when I saw SS May and Dj Gloria
I love it when I have a perfectly good Lear but optimize said "No, no. SS Hilda is better with stats. Trust me. "
maybe it would’ve slotted in may for me if she was more than 1/5 non ex
EXACTLY
SS Lana, Lear, hell even SS Lusamine would be better
i really expected ss steven or lana to show up for psychic but no. it’s gio time baby it’s his VA hour
I wonder if I hadn't EXed him if his power would be low enough
Makes me wish I hadn't 
it still didn’t cause me any trouble despite jasmine accidentally getting KOd before she could give him seun
gio wiped the stage with his sync
call it the joketo region
Did you see how pathetic mine's sync was 
maybe your stage was just a little bulkier than mine
I think my grid is just bad
oh no you do max strength that’s why
yeah
I needed SS Hilda to actually do damage since he couldn't do enough
probably not that different from this
he didn’t get any sdef drops on the sides
so it’s really just cs3+cs2 doing all the work
whatever, neither of us use him it doesn’t matter lol
True lol
Heck Giovanni
Just checked, I actually have both the sync power nodes enabled too 
Maybe I just didn't crit or something
I'm really not used to optimize not just giving Sycamore lol
Maybe it would have if I had fewer good supports?
Optimize theme 
Optimize theme is super easy lol
I was trying another theme to make up for it, but Koga didn't want that to happen 
Very much so 
Burn 
I was hoping he would be Fire weak again before Kalos so I could try the burn stall solo again, but no 
@rapid terrace 
Colress isn't EXed, so I keep that there for the funnies. Mallow though... 
Now we just make sure that Gakon and Annie don't see

What is it Rancer 
@ Gakon @ Annie 
you're gonna get me killed!!
You were saying?
it’s nothing, ms bully


what
nothing to see here
Don't worry about things like that or the fact that I have 50
for Ghetsis and haven't EXed him
I endeavour to bewilder as many people as possible while keeping them interested with wacky clears
i hope you know you have 3 types of battle content you have to clear soon 

I'm glad someone appreciates it 
I'll work on it... slowly
"This unit cannot be switched out as it is in use in another event"
How many LG clears do you think I can get in two hours 
Isn't that only for eggs though? 
you'll still be stuck on the Dawn solo 
I forgot I have to do that

i wish you could use multiple devices. can imagine chezei using three devices to clear both CS and LG
I'd do it if I had that many 
EX your ghetsis for the jukebox!!!

EX so you can keep up with the amount of EX units I have 
I have more than you still
I still have 183
and will keep going up lol
100 paid gems for 110 sync pairs is an insane deal outside of the actual free 100 sync pairs
I mean you see how many I have 
whatever get you to EX ghetsis... 

uhh you tell me 
i guess you can say you're labouring through the night tomorrow

oh yeah...it ends at reset
good luck Chezei

the good news is that you don't have worry about LG when you work tomorrow night 
Great 
I already have the first clear of this CS done and I'm heading home from work now... The problem is that I have the two that will probably be the most difficult for this theme to do still
still trying to get thru with the theme 
What theme
wow

sounds painful
techs in shambles
Karen was done first try and of course the video didn't save
Koga and Will will be a bit... Painful
so Karen was more of an "emotional damage" painful
basically
double check record button is on 
It records just fine... It just says "error deleting screen recording" when I finish, even though I'm not deleting it
So it gives me an empty video with no length
and this is on an apple device
...i always thought you were an apple user 
I should be getting a much better phone for my birthday in a few weeks though 
I will be once I'm more financially stable so I can get some

i can't troubleshoot the android issues, but maybe its a space or a google drive issue (idk how the cloud works with android)
I know it works fine sometimes and not fine others

it’s that time of the week
Working on beating Bruno now... it's proving to be slightly more difficult than I expected
I don't think anyone would expect this to be possible 
Melonuke
The Melonuke is real
@plain lance please do your LG 10 streak..
I'm going to! CS first, then LG. I'm 3/5 done with CS!
Chezei is getting stuff done early 
It would have been done earlier if I didn't have to deal with Will 
Turns out that the answer was Summer Hilda! I would upload it but of course it corrupted 
@amber basin This is the NY Dawn clear I did a while back with Fallister and Ren Cynthia
I'm gonna try to rerecord them once I finish some LG
really nice play, i love the team!
i’ll probably never have dawn or allister at those move levels but i can admire their synergy from afar
Maybe we'll have a random influx of candies one day 
Until then, I shall be the resident Dawn showcaser
Alrighty, here's the full clear pic for this week! The theme is all supports, full strength! This means no stalling, so I was usually nuking, which is always fun to do
hopefully I'll get the videos recorded so I can upload this one
If anyone is curious about Misty's nuke, that's here!
Also just realized that this would've been full EX if only Misty had an EX
Dena plz
Chezei finishing CS two hours before my bedtime 
I have to finish the LG for everyone plus rerecord the videos that failed
My brand is in shambles
Leaf as the loading screen 
Yep! 
No Dawn solos tonight 
Nope, not tonight 
Good, just get your 10 streaks done 
I'm getting there 
It is to my great dismay that I must announce that I was unable to get the Will clear video 

Already ahead of you 
Leaf and Hilda look so similar from that angle at the start
They really do


I've done the next two but the recordings failed
I'm just about done with what I was doing before, so I should be able to finish it up and rerecord those clears
I haven't seen anyone do this theme yet, but it's very easy
Oh yeah you probably wouldn't guess it
it's just easy to do the clears
Working on Diantha now
Blamo, here's the clear pic!
Here's the Diantha victory by the way! All these were first try clears except for the Siebold one where I had to restart instantly because I forgor what I was doing
the theme isn't family 
Correct
The theme is really simple, but it's hard to guess. I did not have guessability on my mind when I thought of it 
Each team has an iconic duo/rival
Tho Leaf and Hilda dont have any connection tho
Chezei you forced me to use my brain 

but ash and red aren't in the same universe 
they are iconic tho
maybe gakon is right

they still haven't rerun bugsy and scyther, so that statement is false 
Oh also no, that's not the theme
It's an interesting coincidence, but it's more a product of the theme itself
As a hint: ||I didn't choose any of the pairs specifically||
randomize function 
It is a function, but not randomize or optimize 
you spun a wheel 
No wheels involved! No direct randomness at all, in fact
Here's another hint: ||Why are the tactics all wacky? It's not only because of Dreamy's request||
did you always use support in the mid
No, only the last one had support middle
I jailed him

What did he do



it bothers me so much your ghetsis is level 120 not EX'd and I know you hate using him so obviously there's a reason why you picked him in particular 
but then there's this aaaaaa

There is indeed a reason I had to use Ghetsis
And no, it's not because of his name or anything like that
Save us nov
You ordered the pairs a certain way in your box? 
I’m falling asleep
i don't have a good track record in guessing themes
It’s midnight 
Nope! ||I didn't even look at my box for these teams||
Chezei from the past, Gakon from the future 
HUH
So im a Iron Valiant???? 
Is it the recommended sync pairs from the tips
Closer...
the tips couldn't have recommended NC Leaf
I wish it recommended Ash and SST Red 
I approve 
Cobalt save us
Idek if Cobalt is here
Cobalt ain’t here
I want to do the evil thing
gah i'm so confused
Did you just use random teams that you set for other clears you’ve done before lol
I did think about that, but no
Don't forget this
…you used a function formula on excel? 
It's an in game function
you just picked random sync pairs that appeared in the pokemon center, idk
i'm really just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks...
My teams are far too cohesive for them to be random

"not looking at the box" but also "no randomness involved" are very contradictory and I don't know how it's possible

Chezei you chose these pairs blindfolded
The give away hint: ||There is a function in the game that I don't think any of us have actually used after it was introduced||
I would need insane luck for that
asdfdsas what does this meaaaaaan
Idt my brain is in the game
Is Chezei is a philosopher
oh dammit it's the ||most used teams||
Yep!
HUH
Bruh

we have so many better ice types, sorry not sorry
Well not ||most used|| but more ||successful teams||
I could only use pairs I actually have 
We are a collective failure
pretty sure you have almost every pair in this game
Ahem
If you check the ||successful teams button, all of them have NC Red until you get to that abomination||

There's 17 I don't have if you don't count Lodge Leaf
maybe you should ||pull NC Red so you don't need to use that abomination||
I'M TRYING 
just dump a full pity on him like me 🥱
|| there’s more spoilers here than gem zen ||
You'd think that ||they'd have Irida and N but no, they all have Red and Irida||
well tbf they're great partners
the best, probably
No doubt there, but at least I have her and would love to use her
||i love pizza||
I'm broke rn 
i still love his sync accel
truly a sprint unit that came early and got blessed with a tech nuke
Glad I skipped, because of anni
my ice type roster has greatly improved since June. I pulled three ice types in one month 
and now with NC Red, I think I'll never pull an ice type again unless it's another big fave
Imma get him when he reruns
I got him on a daily 

Still waiting for my Red and Blue dailies 
Help, am stuck
It's part of how I have so many pairs! I wouldn't be able to showcase so many if not for dailies 
oh shit he broke free
omg he's here

dreamy is right. people who don't save get the most pairs 
Probably helps that many of the people who don't save are the whales
The ones who don't whale and still have a ton of pairs I just don't get though
i had a stretch where i kept getting featured unit thru dailies 
Finished backreading, interesting theme
Thanks! I thought of it while I was working yesterday lol
for the first half of the year I got all the units I pulled for in 4 multis or less
saved all the way to 200k+ that way
then i burned three pities for nc kantrio because of course my luck went downhill the second i stepped into the second half of 2023
I think only you could do it here out of the people here 
It does help that I could do them all on-type because I have enough pairs
considering the gem count trend, I might just zen for the rest of the year to recover back 
The only other one I couldn't use the first team of was Siebold, since the first team had NC Blue instead of Sonia
It’s hard to decide if I want more faves or more saves
Also probably worth pointing out that I just used my roster as-is, so I didn't candy/EX or change grids at all, I just slapped the teams in and went for it
i have to be stricter with the units I pull because I know my luck is gonna be shit to make up for the fact that I got SC Lyra and SS Morty in 1 multi back to back 

That Ice team was a bit of a struggle. The gauge is so bad 
i never knew how to pronounce the name
but i just pronounce what i see in the letters
that's how i've said it
really? SS N allows dual striking very well
He does, but all three of them are so slow
Ghetsis was relegated to just spamming Noble Roar
Hope you do CS early this weel
Why for? 
Vantner theme too 
Thats the neat part, idk

I know I'm a bit early but I got the first clear done on the Fire CS

It ends in three resets! Plus I wanted to play and was getting bored of continuously trying to solo Koga with Marley 
Oh right it’s the special CS 
Finished that one a while back and I thought you did that already
I kept getting distracted every time I went to do it, so I haven't finished it yet
And Koga's sides have Double Edge
I don't know if the solo is possible yet

i started with a 2v3 and then got so frustrating trying to get silver to do it i gave up in round 2
That's where I'm at now so we'll see if I can finish it 
Who did you pair Silver with?
i tried ss morty for a while but silver needs so much more offensive help
That's what I'm trying now. I guess I'll see if I can have any better luck
Any better luck? 
Not yet
Trying to fight Molayne now instead
I was wondering why Leon hit like a wet noodle, turns out I didn't even have a lucky skill on him 
He do be like that 
He did manage to finish it though
Working on Glacia again
@amber basin it is possible!

Ahh
I think I've only ever successfully used Overheat build a few times. Usually I go full physical
Just your standard Serena clear 

At last, the 2v3 Fire only CS! These were definitely not the easiest, but at least they're done!
Looking forward to 2v3 Psychic only in the next Pasio CS 
I'll have to figure out how to use NC Bede
but it should be a bit easier I think
Had to go rerecord it but here's the Red clear!

you better figure out how to use NC Bede 
he's probably my favorite support to use
the special support of my dreams
but I just really like NC Bede's rotation
plus he's a mixed support! 
and allows me to use two four-gauge damage dealers with ease

NC Blue is amazing
Hope to get him one day
That'd give me a fifth support
Don't tempt me 

maybe if you started using BP pairs...
we have 4 f2p electric supports and 1 Sonia
there, 5 supports
B-but my brand... 
what brand 
Having almost all the units, being really bad at using the ones that aren't strikingly mid, and doing everything very late 
you can still get BP units and stick to your brand of having almost all the units! 🤯
also if you look at the tierlist, the BP supports are around the middle so you should be good at using them 
don't you want to try haaaard
bp clemont is really good thanks to his defensive buffs
But then I'll have fewer excuses not to do the LG

forget LG, I already lost hope in your LG runs
make me proud in HS
you can do it soldier!!
I'll do my very best Captain!
Chezei gonna...tryhard 

I have to do it soon since I have a good friend coming down to visit on Saturday and he'll be here for two weeks... not sure how much time I'll have while he's here, but I'll still try!
saturday,then you have a day or so 
I should have most of the day tomorrow, so I'll do more then 

I should be able to still do that! Just might not have any other theme with it 

You’ve done one clear already that’s one more than me for CS this week
She's there for the theme 
Realistically, she does nothing else at all. I would love to say that she buffs SpDef to survive the Muddy Water, but Gloria is too frail for that apparently
This is my fourth one
I've had recording issues with all the others

I'll rerecord them when I get home
Plenty of time
I finished Oddish research day in Pokémon go so I’ll start on my CS after dinner..
I'm slowly converting more people 

where's the last clear 
I'm still at work 

I should be able to go in an hour... Provided it isn't too busy
i won't order pizza then
Very kind of you 
Chezei theme!
It is done! To celebrate me getting a new phone that's a bit overkill, I did a few overkill runs, but there is another hidden theme! Can you figure it out?
Snatch 
you must've had fun with the +3 stats on entry parameter
Basically! Each team has a way of wiping enemy stats, whether by stealing them, neutralizing them, or by flipping them! And yes, I had to have the +3 stat param on every fight 
Wait so that was the previous CS right?
Yes lol
7:51 am
Chezei completing CS so late it loops around and gets completed 10 minutes before CS even is here
it’s a regular sunday occurrence
It's part of the fun! 
lost in the clear is that you got a new phone 
were you inspired by me getting a new ipad 
Oh also, I forgot to mention it, but I did mix up where all my pairs went this time for your test, @woeful nebula . It fucked with me a little, but didn't severely impact my play from what I could tell
no my birthday is soon and my friend got me a new phone because I was complaining about my old one 
complaining works 
Apparently 
i was forced to use middle support on one of my HS teams just for ease of queuing with all the resets
vs clemont, with ss elesa just to get her MPR and then reset immediately
i noticed you used colress 
we love to see shilda
Interesting. Maybe I should try that lol
I do love using SHilda. Topsy-Turvy is a lot of fun
he was only there for the T-wave and Screech, I killed mid before I could sync the second time. I had a lot of gauge issues with that team

Here's the video of that clear actually! I did record all the clears
Don't mind the fact that it's very scuffed 

Ditto. It impacted my queueing of the first three moves because it's no longer muscle memory, that's for sure
I got used to it after that
Does that mean I will start moving my tank to the sides? No 
Nor will I start moving my tank to the middle 
The tank will stay on the left side 
it's the law

I just woke up
it shouldn't take me too long to do the CS though
6 hours 20 mins later...
I'm sorry 
now you're sounding Canadian 
Aw man I should've put an "eh" there
@/Winston


Malva is being painful
I can't get rid of her sun with this theme

Finally it is done! This theme should be easy to guess 
Monotype (like 80% cause of some of them not having that type for sync)
Or just having two of the same type and the third possessing that type, but being a dual type user.
Close! It's a bit more specific than that
two on type, and the third one has a weakness move but it's like secondary move
yeah, i think that's you would call it
That's basically what I would call that, yeah, but this theme is a little more specific
Is it coverage?
Nope! At least not intentionally

Me when people have obscure themes impossible to guess
Luckily the Chezei theme is always layered over the top and easy to guess
I think this one is shared moves
Oh right
Aura sphere, ancient power, moonblast, thunder, earthquake
Bingo! Each team has an on-type move that each pair has, but one of the pairs has an off-type sync for funsies!
The only real problem was Malva. Since Blue is only 1/5, I had to EX him to get the chip damage on the sides so they could be one shot by Hyper Beam. Once I did that, it was just a matter of resetting until Roxanne could sync and the quadqueue could work!
i mean i don't think you had much of a choice lol, the 3rd pretty much always had to be an off type unit
oh nvm there are way more moonblast units than i remembered
Sometimes (almost always) i forget ss dawn is psychic
For Aura Sphere, Earthquake, and Ancient Power, yeah, I had to off-type, but Moonblast and Thunder could have been done fully on-type
I accidentally did 14 types instead of 15 to unlock sinnoh medal because of it
Oof 
for earthquake you could've used lodge cynthia kek
i too, i just checked who had earthquake
I started with Aura Sphere, so that's where the idea came from
variety gio
Don't have him
nobody does
EQ was initially gonna be Bulldoze so I could use Courtney, but then I noticed Lyra had EQ and went with that instead
yeah she has earthquake trip up 9 
It's great for BV 
My SS Steven is still 1/5 and not EX 
Who is the main DPS

I don't find it sustainable for SC Lyra to spam EQ when I run other ground types who want the gauges more
It's not really, but when you have NY Dawn refreshing the gauge every turn, it works great


I'm stuck at work for the next 5 ish hours
I'll be working on it if I get a break
I’m also doing Chezei theme tonight if that’s any consolation 
always good to hear more people doing Chezei theme

what is it
ideally i didn't wanna do it, but it keeps my thread active and I don't have to search for it again 
I feel that
Maybe you just need to do a normal theme early in the week and then a Chezei theme later 
that's too much pokemon masters for a week 
do you have a time limit like Richu?
nah, i just play other games 


Just got the pop up saying "It's a new week!" 
Starting it now!
double of the same pokemon theme 
Not this time, though I do have another clear that is currently planning to have two of the same pokemon
"Fire HS testing theme" 


waiting for the second battle and clue to drop 
Another fire unit 

It is fire monotype! Though I don't have enough 5/5 Fire pairs to do the latter 
You have a 5/5 Anni N? 
Bro…..give me your daily luck….. 
It's not very good right now... I've only gotten Palmer and Shauna recently
Hey I was technically right
My last daily luck was Bede on the first summon of the banner lol
1700 paid gems on Nemona for nothing 
You were! I didn't want to give it away too quickly though 
Wild
N needed the help 
I'm trying to use Leaf with SS Hilda rn
needed the help how 😭 it's not like Lucas's sun will last until N's sync?
The lack of a tank makes it difficult though 
At 3/5 Lucas gets the tile to lower SpDef
hmmm Lucas's debuffs isn't even optimal in helping N here, since N still has to noble roar even when Drasna is at -6 atk for the sp atk debuffs 
i always see N's special defense debuffs as a bonus and I almost never bother with that. pecking order and devastation is where it's at
huh
Yeah
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong
Drasna was at -6 in both, N was at +6 SpAtk and crit the sync, but it hit like a wet noodle
That was round 2
ok
While she's proving that I'm bad at this game, here's the third clear! Blaine tank ftw
No sp def debuffs, only at -5 sp atk, no sun, not enough gauge to quadqueue
All attack, strength 6, half ally HP
oh look N wasn't even at +6 sp atk
I think you can take half MP too. I don't have EX Kiawe 
save some resources for EX Kiawe next month
i don't want to EX him 
What the fuckles
nov basically said skill issue in video form 

Does look like you could've got a second turn denial out for safety but if it works
i sometimes do turn denial but i usually just go with powering thru 
Same, I like my support EXes 
good argument! we'll see
N doing 10k on sync doesn't make sense. are you sure you didn't have special dmg reduction by accident
also do you have fire gear? 
was it the grid
honesty anni N can do 30k sync without sun
and that's with my paras

PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
Looks like your standard nuke grid
mine
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/8901/64300?s=5&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFBggTGB0gISIuLw here's mine

I go for this one too
I guess the two power tiles make that much of a difference?
i guess...? lol
remember this unit has a special attack stat of sub 300
do try to get those fire gears maxed
Yeah, I was unpleasantly surprised to see that his SpAtk was closer to Torchic than to Flareon 

Now presenting: the jankiest Silver clear ever
no dauntless lucky skill?
Normally I run a physical build with Sacred Fire, so he has WW3
I had to switch to Overheat because SF kept burning 
smart of you to have Malva set sun for your Silver syncs tho 
Hey SS Morty is kinda good
That was exactly my thought when I put that team together 
Initially it had Hilda to take advantage of the Speed from Marley, but I needed the sleep
yeah mine still has dauntless because I main with the overheat build
Chezei what is happening
Why doesn't Serena have troublemaker
Why are you not doing yoru first sync when it's available
that's just Chezei trying to make some mischief
and also don't forget to spend your stamina 
I won't 
Excellent question 
Serena has CS 2 and I had to delay the sync until after Malva synced so I would get the sun
Chezei has the strat down
After many failed attempts, I mostly got it down
Why not delay by like, I dunno trapping or something
My brain short-circuited a little when the Arcanine woke up 
It caught me completely off guard and I was debating on if I should sync with Serena or not
Are you using Malva's own sun against her 
ss morty is good, what a surprise!
now use these exact teams for fire HS 
Yep 
saves team planning 
That was just for you 
can Blaine even tank 400 strength
probably not 

I still have Torchic, Flannery, and Ethan as potential tanks because I tried them all before I went to Blaine
Ethan tank 
He has Initial Guard, First Aid, and healing on his TM 
Of course it doesn't work when Siebold OHKOs him but 
Support cake your NC Leaf for tanking purposes
That requires me to get another support cake 
Another 
I got one when I scouted Leaf at pity
but I used it on Paulo
Oof ouch
I'm sure I'll get one eventually
inb4 they give Pal Dawn support cake next and I have to save it for her 
I think Pal Dawn might be a little low on the list of getting EX roles soon 
A girl can hope 
Chezei put fire guard on Marley they're doing nothing but team planning
I made a special grid for her called "Anti Fire" 
You should have Tina if you've got Paulo right?
She's great! Speed and Attack drops, valuable buffs, plus support EX!
Yeah she's also got nice defensive buffs on entry on her grid
Yep! Also Fire Guard and Scorching Touch for the HS
Oo didn't see Fire Guard actually. That'll be helpful
Sorry I'm late here's last week's clear pic! It was inspired by Nov telling me I should prep for the Fire HS by using only Fire units!
Flareon take over
Need two more Flareon trainers so we can do one Flareon per battle 
I see SS May, i upvote
SS Red finally sees the light of day
Diantha got completely wrecked 
He was doing pretty good damage! I was impressed
He is SS Red after all
you should try nuking with him. 2/5 already gives him haymaker

Now presenting: the luckiest Propulsion procs I've yet to see
Damn Blaziken ruined my denial, but Propulsion had my back 
@echo tulip a 100% not scuffed Calem clear 

As you can see, he's very good and definitely contributed by far more than just barely living
Wow that was clutch I thought it was a failed run for a minute there
I was legit confused when that attack on the center didn't take down Flint
CONFUSION GAMING
Flint is tanky 
I did too 
CONFUSION GAMING
First time using Caitlin! Had to EX her, but I'm pleasantly surprised!
Expanded caitlin is 👌
I never had a reason to use her until now. Turns out, she's like my third or fourth best option
Same for me
used her for the first time on the special CS
And the finale! Did you know SSteven has a defence form that tanks better than LuSSamine? 
Pls not the double flinch there
Even double flinch can't stop greatness! 
Here's the full clear! Can anyone guess the super difficult theme? 
No Kanto theme
Damn that was fast
that wasn't really intentional unless you count my refusal to use Giovanni
kanto erasure 
I was gonna say they're from the same region in each team cos I was looking bottom up
Not quite lol
That's just a byproduct of the main theme and the fact that I refuse to use Gio
use Oak!
Calem and Will was my meme team, I couldn't try with Oak too 
tank Oak OP
Calling Oak a meme team smdh
I have used Oak before, but not as Psychic damage
Can you make Oak work with the theme that I used? 
And not by slotting him in next to Lana
Imagine if you will, that I don’t actually know what role Oak had
I think both members in each team share something similarly, if you dont count SS Lana. Until the 5th team breaks my idea lol
The theme is super simple and all five teams fit it
oh 
It's full Psychic, outnumbered, and no supports
I see I see
Arch guessing 2 themes correctly in one day (the first is mine) 
Only because they were extremely straightforward
Sometimes the most straightforward ones are the hardest to guess it seems 
I was originally just gonna do mono on-type and outnumbered, like I did with the Fire CS, but then Jo did that and I wanted to see if I could do it with no supports which basically just means no Bede or Dawn
omg psychic gaming
Even got double Unova in there! 
I guessed it here! 
And duos!
That's what I meant by outnumbered
duos or solos
Blessed tbh
They might get more before the end of the year if they hope enough 
Lol I just got a freeze at when Dawn loads and that image actually doesnt exist it's just 3 stuff on top of each other, on the still loading one you can see the mountains on dawn's head
Lol you shouldnt have won this battle the amount of prop 1 is insane
I was fully expecting to have to redo it again after Lucian died and especially after the Blaziken survived, but I'll take it 
Wtf was that
That is some insane confusion luck wow I have also actually used will + Calem before but SSB as the support!
Yeah no crits is insane
I bet giving them a way to actually have higher than 0 crit makes it a bit easier

I have my teams set!... I think. I tried doing one clear earlier and it didn't go so well, but I'll have a bit of time after I get off work
i still haven't planned mine
