#rancer890's riveting CSMM and Legendary Gauntlet Clears!

!!
Wow thats a lot of 1/5
Most my favs are 3/5 except for the the ones I’ve found worked perfectly at 1/5
A lot of them were the other units I got from select scouts or from dailies lol
just noticed the reacts since they dont update on mobile, PALAFIN. NOT WAILMER OK!! lol
My theme clear for this upcoming week is ready - a random one I thought about in richu’s thread lol
Name clear “R-A-N-C-E-R” 10k. This week worked out given the type weaknesses. Lot of trainers that start with C.
letter breakdown: R (1), A (2), N (2), C (7), E (3)
never knew you were that excited over march break to be typing so many random letters 
March break doesn’t happen until like another. Month
that's not march break tho. that's april break
I have no break in March 🐴
just us things 
Using only trainers with names that start with R, A, N, C, or E.
00:00 - Round 1 - Marshal (Flying weak)
Couldn't get that support EX buff with Elesa, so had to sync twice with SS Ethan to get it done. Lodge Cynthia here for the +2 crit mainly. I was hoping for the stage to get cleared a bit quicker, but 1/5 SS Ethan is enough to get it done....
Here’s an easy 12. I could stretch it to 15 without issue…we’ll see
I can do some more streaks if I want..I forgot about the two rats

I love the Diancie duo
dewit
richu influence 
You have plenty of tech candies right? 

i have....uhhh 4 and halfway to the 5th one 
Candy Pal Dawn up to 5/5 
can't candy pal dawn to 5/5 when you have 0/5 pal dawn 
Oh 
Candy SS Diantha 
Candy SS Dawn to 5/5 

you have to so I can see more SCHilda + SSdiantha on youtube!

hm
i've also prepared striker perrserker, so can do some more of those memes in steel zone with one of the three
are you going to sync with Hilda or Diantha?
probably diantha since i have the tech candies ready
i have 0 strike candy
cynthia ate them
sad
ye, as there is so many sitiuations where Ive wanted it lel
am also considering candying cynthia tho for dust kicker...
its tricky tho when you have both ya know
especially since 2 strike candies are gonna take forever to get unless i keep summoning master fairs
since sc hilda has fuel economy, so there's incentive to sync with her. but if i'm putting 2 candies in ss diantha, i might as well sync with her
maybe wait for datamine before making a decision
they are fighting for sync
I rarely sync with my Diantha lel
Maybe sync with Hilda first to get the fuel econ and damage on the sides (once you EX her) and then with Diantha to finish off mid?
or the easy solution is to get 6 tech candies so i can 3/5 ss hilbert, ss diantha, and ss may 
probably tbh
i gotta say tho, ss diantha's sync move animation is LIGHT YEARS better than sc hilda's
considering Fuel Econmy does not increase damage I think it is fine to sync with supp ex first
so true............

It makes me so sad that sc units miss out on cool sync animations

If I had SCHilda these would be my grids
5/5 ss diantha 

i wish i could spare 4 candies for her
but alas, i love way too many of my current tech units
I only have SSLyra the eeveelution kris and lyra and Cerena so I am in no rush
Only 5?
the tech candy order is like: (1) SS Diantha/SS Hilbert, (3) SS May, (4) SSN, (5) Fall Iris
2 of them I do not feel ned candies lel
richu you have barely used the eeveelution units lol
I am aware but that is because I feel they are so awkard to use
i don't even know their kits since i completely ignored that banner lol
realistically, the only two i've ever considered candying are SC Hilda and Diantha
they have copy pastes of the others kits just mixed up a bit
all i remember are zones and weather
debuffs..or rebuffs? lol
debuffs
\

Oh yeah you’re the perfect person to ask, since you have 3/5 for both
Who do you sync with 
I sync with schilda, as i need ssdiantha to focus on rock zone and spamming buddy move so that i can capitalize more on schilda towering defense sync multiplier...well she also have double down 5 but thats only good for ontype...so usually csmm already over with just one sync
Also it does helps to have fuel economy fast, as it helps to maximize diamond storm ramming speed
Hmmm noted
I’m still far away from strike candies but I can EX both of them in the meantime
Next week CS is rock weak
Well because if sync with ssdiantha, that sync already took a turn otherwise that turn can be use to put another cheeky buddy move to further -def enemies and + def for schilda towering defense nuke and tough cookie multiplier
Well i also have a no sync build for schilda, that capitalize on fast track 9 to maximize her diamond storm ramming speed but hers is a hefty 4 gauge diamond storm if not sync while ssdiantha buddy move only costs 2 gauge...so i rather spam with 2 gauge
Another small benefit is by spamming buddy diamond storm, it will make my regirock tankier...with its impervious, pretty sure any buffs on it will stuck forever

That all makes sense
With the team building and all that
Now I’m looking forward to 3/5 SC Hilda
I did it. I’m actually 3 more tech candy coin away from another one so I’ll be back to 3 tech candies really soon
I will EX her... someday 
tomorrow 
Give me 2 candies and 20
, i will EX immediately
29, but im saving an amount for CBede when he comes home
And i gonna ex Anni May next
Actually i will ex Diantha after Anni May, but i have to wait for 2 months to get her to 3/5 since im having 18 gold candy coins now
2 months 

depends how aggressive you are with EX resources i guess. i have been doing 5
/15
for a really long time lol
yeah, i have all 15 remember lol, and i'm swimming with tickets since i have all the gen pool except
and Shauna
Im missing Shauna,
and 
I think
in the sinnoh tickets so you can gamble on that 
Help I have over 400
what do I do with them
I usually like having 100
in reserve at least. It helps if I want to do some meme clears in CS and need it for the theme
Hugh meme stonks. I always wanted to do a normal damage dealer 10k CS but our only options are literally Gladion and Hugh. Norman ain’t it unfortunately.
Tbf Hugh is ready to get promoted because of the paid scouts 
Maybe I'll 20/20 the other Lodge pairs or some eggs 
using
on eggmons 
I plan to do the same for shiny eggmons but will be a while as i will need to 5* non eggmon pairs and 20/20 some lodge pairs first 
i have way too many other pairs to upgrade before eggmons unfortunately. i only used
on shiny tech gyarados
I will upgrade eggmons at the very last, well they not having grids and region tags plays a major part
#gacha-and-flex message many more memes can be had now. (Still have no theme for next week - maybe I repeat the same Pokémon again)
Let’s have some fun with 3k clears….will EX classic Red and see the damage lol
First 15k clear is done! Richu’s parameters actually totalled 3300 so I took 300 away. Slight change from the original sync pairs but it was really exciting nonetheless.
Silver was actually pretty clutch with the flinches vs Shauntal. Marshal took a couple tries, Grimsley wasn't too bad surprisingly. Caitlin was yeeted obviously. Alder was a really close battle lol
yeah i'm just charging the ipad just now so it'll go to icloud soon and maybe i can edit a bit when work is a bit slow
will try to get it on the channel tonight
Can’t wait lel
depends how good or bad work is from now to 6pm et lol
I have never tried 15k before 
it was tricky, i can tell ya that
Tricky with those pairs 
Guess i won’t try it anytime soon
i mean, looking at the clears i prob should have done a couple things differently 
As it says in the title. First time ever. 3K parameters per round at the end of each round.
00:00 - Round 1 - Caitlin (Electric weak)
I got Classic Red in a daily pull (yup, the luck continues..) so this is my first time using him. I wasn't overall worried about beating this at 3K since using both of the Pikachus at 2K is very trivial.
02:2...

oh lol
wait a min..\
i was watching wbc
WHOOPS
i updated ss diantha's grid
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
Wow the rock duo did very well lel
that's with me fumbling the round again lol
i completely forgot the themes i wanted to do for the next 3 weeks...i shoulda wrote it down lol. but i'm glad i tried 15k clear before they implemented the 12.5k ones..
I think i will try 15k next week
15k clear. Caitlin was yeeted for 2nd straight week. Got my excuse to use SS Gio again. Iris was post sync.
Iris post sync with Zerena how lel
1/5 ss serena without zone lol
Oh I didn’t know yours was 1/5 lel
yeah 3/5 wouldn't be an issue
but 1/5 isn't really doable pre-sync lol
first time i didn't use lucas for a dragon clear in a long time
post sync also meant i couldn't use lucas
Who nukes in the round 4 team? 
i synced with ss may because the last time i used her and didn't sync with her, richu said it was inefficient 
no sync nuke tho since 1/5
anni n woulda nuked it tbh
the video will probably be up after the 3DS eshop closes 
1 more hour 
30 mins 
RIP


Free Pokémon bank!
bye bye butterfree, bye bye ash, bye bye 3DS eShop 
bye bye casey at the bat, you never even made an appearance in the final episodes
transporter maybe*
Transporter is already free
i was panicking at 7:50pm trying to decide if i forgot to buy something lol. time to edit my 15k MM video i guess
no i had to pay $5 because you had to have a previous subscription at least to access it
Yeah, it's "free" in the sense that it's free for the future, but you needed a subscription for it
At least now you don't have to pay 5 bucks for it every year 
and considering i have shiny hoothoot in crystal, i kinda wanted transporter lol
Shiny Mew glitch here I come
that's what gold and silver are for 
I had a previous subscription that’s lame theyd falsely advertise free bank
bank is technically free if you downloaded it 15 mins ago
the servers were shot at 7:57pm lol
i wanted to buy the eevee theme
couldn't get it in the end 

I enjoyed my first attempt at 15K MM so much I wanted to do another one. So here's my second ever 15K MM.
00:00 - Round 1 - Shauntal (Ground weak)
Cynthia and SS Giovanni combined were really useful, although of course SS Gio had a bit more damage. Straightforward clear really.
02:49 - Round 2 - Caitlin (Dark weak)
Second week in a row that...

15K damage from a 1/5 unit????
Which tempts me sometimes for 3/5 lol
What a jerk of gengar to cast hypnosis and block sand
Also realized I forgot to change the 2K to 3K on the left side of the graphic . Oh well. Next week it’ll be technically the “first 12.5k clear” lol
I didn’t even expect that lol
A lot more SS Gio than Cynthia for sure
Couldn’t go with Maxie for obvious reasons


BP Tech EX 
Maybe a BP and lodge only 12.5k MM in the future? We’ll see!
OKAY NEVER MIND ROXANNE EX FIRST
Honesty idk what this upcoming month. I still have interest in Hop and Zapdos. I’ll see about the kits. But the SC units I’m not interested in
Oh kantrio, if kanto there's bruno onix and lorelei cloyster later 
outside of Kantrio I don't care much about Kanto lol
Rest of Kanto in shambles lol
I guess the profits from variety scout are really good so these kinda units will keep appearing
Yep, i admit that i will bite those as well if its like UBs variety scout or something
I think UB won’t be variety scout

Can be more profitable as poke fair or master fair
did we fail boycotting variety scouts 
I did my part of skipping them due to non faves... although i know a bunch of people pull ball guy especially due to he can solo lots of gauntlet bosses
I must admit I pulled for variety lucas for collection purposes 
Well not a problem if he's fave
I not gonna let no EX or bad kit stopping me to pull faves
I did my part
As long as people have favs it’s gonna be tricky. I don’t so it’s easy skips.
I had variety faves...
luckily neither Bruno nor Lorelei are faves, so I'll only do dailies and maybe the initial discount for them

Updated for my two newest units in Champion Hop and Classic Red. Not planning on summoning anything next month (odd daily here and there) so i won't be hitting 50% of the limited sync pairs
Champion Hop took 24k gems btw, so getting him before pity was nice.
How many gems are you at now?
Nice
Only need Courtney and Shauna. Have a solid amount of tickets to have several tries at a copy lol
I need all of them lel
I only super need shauna and j cannot wait lel
0/5 shauna, 0/5 hugh 0/5 colresss 2/5 Gordie 0/5 melony 2/5 looker 2/5 Courtney
Melony literally saved me in last set of EBEs so I hope you can get her as well lol
Just watched your summon video, congrats on CHop rancer!
Thank you Gakon!!! I look forward to using him to clear content lol
Hop's spook caught me off guard lol
I felt my summons video were too long, so I was skipping to cut down on video length lol
Since I have most spotlights anyways (hopefully I get the last two I don’t have tomorrow
)
Im missing 3 so i hope Gordie and Shauna come home tomorrow
I have lost my hope on random Bertha spook
i think when we had the last update i got bertha a lot. but ever since courtney spotlight left, i have wanted her and even with the amount of pities i've had she didn't appear lol
I got my first Courtney just right before her banner ended, but it took me months to get her 2/5
hopefully you get Courtney 3/5 tomorrow. I would like to do as well, but 1/5 first lol. she would help with some theme clears
Thank you
but im a bit worry because Hoenn pool has too many pairs
i was hoping you wouldn't say the quiet part out loud 

i also have 1081 general tickets and counting, so that's 36 pulls just from that scout tomorrow
...i could! it'll be quickfire summons vid tho, since the animation would take very long lol
True, thats why i enjoy watching Cyi Wang pulls the most
I rarely watch pulling videos tbh, because most content creators tend to talk a lot during their pulls or not skip the animation
Hope i can get Melony next reset, well iirc we will get ball guy rally next reset so there's 30 galar tix 
i really got lucky with Melony in summons...she was really useful in EBE. vantner got all the birbs but i am curious how others managed to make it work lol
and then when i realized how useful Melony was in EBE, I started to use her more in the CS as well!!
I want melony to try her and Mesprit tag team combo few times 
She can prolonged Mesprit's shields

Mespirit is honesty my favourite master fair BP unit. i still won't use support candy for it, but BP master fair ticket i would consider. and also good to know since you do have full grids vantner 
Not yet, i need to get 10 support coins on April to finally 3/5 Mesprit
Tlim said there's 12

Then i will finally done with this batch of BP 
Gonna wait for anniversary possibly 2 new bp master units
hopefully, mespirit is really good. and also hope for EX even if no outfit
ideally if the base kit is really good i'm happy. would also make it easier for master fair only MM clear theme
and potentially a theme you can do, vantner!
April only has 8 tech coins, so SS Diantha has to wait until May for 3/5 
I have an omni candy after Pasio CS drops and im deciding who will get it between SS Diantha and CCalem

don't think i'll be getting any additional candy before may so i can hold tight with mine till May
Better ask Tai as it is both Kalos units
...if ask me, i would say ssdiantha because im a mythical guy
But i always put master fair as highest priority in my candy list
As master fair select not yet exist
I would say save the yellow candy lol and wait for the tech/support one
I do like champ Calem 3/5 tho
Ssdiantha aoe def down 2 stacks are good, but now they release scsteven buddy leer
that debuffs more stats 2 stacks...well at least ssdiantha buddy move has actual damage and she has zone... I haven't see scsteven kit much yet. He can only put 1 rebuff right? Or he can put more than 1 stack?
Might need someone will summon on Steven to say. It’s a skip month for me so I never bothered looking at kits lol.
Seems like sshilbert rebuff is better than him 
SC Steven is more of a support than a dmg dealer
Because his is only first attack move thats successful each battle
While sshilbert is first attack move on target
So scsteven can only debuff 1 target if i read it correctly
Steven can only rebuff one target
Sshilbert can rebuff all enemies
Neat, if i didn't read it...i thought his function just like sshilbert
His niche is more of providing se up and pmun and rebuff and def debuff rather than just one
Better classic Red basically
Sounds good for my gladion but i already learnt to control myself and not let youtube videos tempt me like in the past, i saw a video of redlax being best friend for gladion and ended up pulling him
I’ve used him twice
He’s not bad, I just need to find more use for him. Don’t mind him
I still use him for 1 day villa run though 

But i wont spare a candy on him so he's staying at 1/5 move level 
I got 3 reds while pulling for ingo 
He was the tank in my first 15k MM run
Well at least if red ever comes to lodge, pretty sure they will choose redlax and not redzard so im prepared 
we don’t talk about how SST Red and Ash were the other units
I hope i will be alright with that special csmm...i gonna be stubborn and try to do all faves run again although all of their weakness are grass 
I should actually plan the teams tonight
Will try on type but I didn’t really read the gimmicks and stuff
It looks easy...iirc only bertha and ncserena have some worth to note gimmicks
Bertha probably for sserika as need to remove sandstorm
Maybe there will be permanent field affect parameter
Nc serena passives hate sslyra
lessen trap and lessen confusion
It actually favours her
By default, stages have lessen 9, but this one only has lessen 7
I think the way to go is SS Lyra for the final
Oh so more easier 
I guess i will bring sslyra team for ncserena...solar beam team for bertha and the other 3 are offtype...as i plan for faves run
Not gonna use mallow because not legendary...just gonna bring ssmorty, maxie, silver for her
Or just the SS Erika route
Scjasmine, scrosa and sslyra for champ
Oh i might can do 1 more ontype team with gladion
Ncbede, gladion, ssdiantha for more overkill
Can run siblings theme with Gladion and Lillie and some other support. Maybe Falkner or Giovanni
Gladion with annilillie dont have much team synergy
My initial brainstorm plan would be to have themes within the three sync pairs since already limited by grass damage dealers
Lodge Lillie lol
Oh for your run? I gonna just do legendaries, mythicals, UBs run like always
Lodge blue is great especially now we have EX
Including determine future EX
And of course there’s tomorrow when I can get some new units and 
Really? Oh from region scout tix
Shauna would be nice. One of the themes will prob be monotype
Lodge gloria also kinda nice if you have her
Iirc she have annilillie passive
50% chance to gain SE up next
She’s there lol
Just get that SE up and aoe sync nuke wew
Another EX candidate
Not sure about lodge sycamore...i didn't use him much
i use him for sludge bomb in the past but thats just it
Really? My memory of him is he gets hit by an aoe move a big chunk of his hp gone
Sycamore lodge unit will def be used
Still better than ramos for kalos grass stuffs
The only potential change is maybe Lodge Gloria for Mallow I guess. And maybe Shauna for Leaf. Depends on tomorrow lol. I think 5 different themes will be fun when it happens. I did the math and I can EX four units if need be by the time this special CS starts
rancer890's CSMM and Legendary Gauntlet Clears!
i also might keep the sync pairs but switch to a different grass-weak stage. this is just draft 1
Gladion 
Damn everyone planning some banger teams 
don't worry, I haven't planned mine 
Me neither
I'm kinda tempted now tbh
legendary gauntlet 10 win streak like... 
Shhhhhhh
6 more days 
I'm at work right now! I should have time to do some tomorrow night though
we're gonna make sure to remind you tomorrow night then 


I'll make sure to do at least one tomorrow night 
Only one? 
Maybe two
6 more days? damn and I'm only on win 39!
I think I can do a few more cycles if I'm willing to flinchlock Moltres even more
but I've already reached my goal of 30 wins so
Moltres my behatred
us 10+ win streak LG players can think about grass weak CS now 

But the grass weak CS doesn't start until nearly 2 weeks later 
Meanwhile, trying to decide my own theme clear..,the struggle is real
. Grass weak was easier to theme 
My first 12.5k (even tho I’ve done two 15k clears
) in the books! Hopefully video tomorrow or Wednesday
R1 - a little bit of memes not me being dumb when I accidentally clicked hail twice and relying on dumb luck for blizzard to hit. Always good to see SSN. I realize now it’s not lodge nor eggmon. But I like Froslass (I spent 12 hours hunting that shiny in Scarlet)
R2 - wood hammer stonks with lodge Gloria.
R3 - needed two busted supports to stack special moves up for lodge May lol
R4 - striker Perrserker in zone yeets Lance
R5/Final - Flare Blitz memes. Cleared it after 7 tries.
Not really a lodge/eggmon theme I guess since I used BP Candice..so I have no idea what this theme clear is 
4-* starting pairs as damage?
SS N 
Also what are the move levels on him and Melony
SS N is 1/5, Melony is 5/5 
You can probably do it with OG May and/or Archie instead of C Calem
I didn’t want to use them, once again for the memes
Valid

“Never knew you had 5 digit damage potential there, SS Kris” 
So you’re using precision pals 
Also seeing eggmon arcanine faint in every attempt was a sight to behold
I think the fun thing was to work around the parameters. I enjoyed that
persserker!
Too bad not shiny 
I hope we get ice type and fire type lodge unit. Would make the theme clears a little easier

The 145 non ex Hilda
Did not want to use EX resources so used certificates lol
here's my candy priority for the units i have. I already have enough tech candies but i am 12 coins away from 4th tech candy so i'll upgrade SS May when that happens. 15 support candies from my 3rd one (although technically i'm also 2 general candy coin away from a second general candy), so for that I'm still debating whether to use for SS Kris for SS Dawn. I need a lot of strike candy so that's a more long term project
I'm definitely not biased
i'm also fully aware anime most likely won't be in a select scout, but it's on the radar for next year
i feel like if i get more move level on SS Dawn she'll be so good, but i've been curious for so long about a 3/5 SS Kris. So i'm indecisive lol
They're both very very good at 3/5 tbh. Hard to go wrong with candying either of them
i know...which furthers the indecision

First attempt at 12.5k MM with the new parameters. Bit of a tricky theme, but went with 4 star sync pairs as damage dealers...and a couple eggmons too!
It's getting harder to record on the iPad (6 years old now) so Rounds 3, 4, and 5 were a bit out of sync.
It's very interesting to see that I switched some parameters around to make different ...
i probably need a new iPad eventually
How come?
just getting slow lol
i mean, i don't need a new one
but for pokemon masters recordings it'll help
used to use it more for work so it was pretty heavy usage
I see lel
horrendous financial idea
don't even try, richu
hope you enjoy the clear at least 
Richu has like 27 switches, i’m sure it’ll be fine 
My switch now has a very cool green screen effecy when I turn it on
"it's a feature"
(Unusable and is going to catch fire any day now)
you can throw it at blue this week since fire weak
also, if we ever get grids for eggmons, maybe striker arcanine won't TKO itself after one flare blitz
Eggmon grid expansion when 
we'll get an eggmon grid expansion before bugsy/scyther rerun 

Dear DeNA, I will do a F2P 12.5k run if Bugsy and Scyther rerun. Sincerely, rancer890
Do I need to do a run featuring the limited free units I have? 
that would be a good idea
hey mods, please pin this
Mods asleep 



There is a theme here. Good thing I don’t work on Easter Monday it was harder than I thought lol
y'all get a day off for Monday? 
Just certain jobs lol
Didn’t realize till playing that we had evasion Lorelei and impervious Bruno 
2 units share a type and the third is offtype in a team except Lorelei team 
Actually no it’s not that theme lol
All 15 units share something in common

All of them can mega evolve!

My morning brain thought it was possible to defeat Agatha with Agatha, but wide awake things 
That ruined my Agatha testing 

Maybe if I had SS Wally I could have used defog Lisia for Lorelei
Instead of having 15 recording takes of failures
ooooh
oh, I have 26 units that can mega evolve
that challenge looks tempting
Maybe all Dmax/gmax in the future when we get more of those units
You should do only ZMove users challenge
Don’t think we have enough of those lol
honestly since I don't play the alola games I don't know which ones are z-moves and which ones are just that pokemon's signature moves
Dreamy is still offline (for now)
Idk what was worse, the Lorelei retries or my iPad lagging lol
Bruno's Impervious

in my defense, I don't have a 3DS and my laptop is too laggy to run a 3DS emulator 


Have you planned the theme for next week rancer?
It’s just been an hour since clearing this one I don’t even know the weaknesses for next week! 
But theme ideas are always at the ready
An easy enough theme that could be done (haven’t checked sync pairs yet) is a modification of champion clear where you choose three Pokémon from champion and try to clear that
Like R1 - Cynthia, R2 - Diantha etc. from the main games
And then there’s villains clear, same thing from MLG
Interesting
It’s simple enough where it’s just about the Pokémon but not as restrictive that will tear your hair out
The theme skills one is pretty interesting tho that you did
This was a fun one. I thought about trying something like this months ago, and the increased difficulty along with the easiest CS in Kanto makes it doable even at the 12.5k MM level.
I count only sync pairs that can mega evolve in the game, so I'm sorry to Brendan (Sceptile), Drake and Zinnia (Salamance) off the top of my head.
I also notice...
Double diancie!

it just feels right to have both of them together in rock weak stages
also very sus pfp, richu 
Ty

Wow seeing Korrina do so much is so off lel
It wasn’t kind at all lol
But I didn’t feel like re-recording lol
The other clears I had to be near perfect
Double Diancie doesn’t need to be
lel
I actually preferred if Blue’s sync fainted everyone
Then I could have recorded a better clear 
Horse
I do but the question is do j@want to lel

Draft 1 I guess. I think the “one theme per stage” is probably something I would do for similar special CS in the future
I had to change some things and I EX 3 units lol
R1 - It’s Always Sunny with Solar Beam
R2 - double Erika
R3 - siblings and Calem got lost
R4 - Brendan 2v3
R5 - triple grass where I couldn’t even get Blue to support EX even tho I spent 15
on him 
Having my limiteds not Ex is so foreign it’s to a point where it bothers me lel
~~looking at you maxie
~~
My schasmine is as well big sad
me having some limiteds at 1/5 and non exed
Based EX Erika
Oh and i managed to do a 5K run yesterday which left me completely dead so the special CS run was delayed
But I finished it before midnight at least lol

You can convert it to American 
Hopefully get a video out Thursday or Friday..
2v3 with half sync move countdown is certainly something..
There's a suspicious lack of Dawn in these clears 
Yeah I dropped the support striker Dawn memes lol
Theres also a suspicious lack of Sonia
Striker dawn isn’t a meme lel
Striker Dawn is a way of life 
I did consider 3/5 SS Dawn
Actually Dawn is a tech with EX Support effect
But I’m firm with saving 4 support candy
Do it 
And then just 3/5 both SS Kris and SS Dawn
I used ssdawn for my csmm run, are you proud of me chezei? 
Since I flip flop every other day..
The moment rancer mentioned a legendary, Vantner appears
Always 
Still not level 150 though 
Vantner scans the stage clears for the word legendary
no, later i will miss some mythicals and UBs
5 legendaries and 1 mythical
celebi is a mythical
That’s why you’re here, for corrections 
Man i hope i can get new fave next month, feels dry while waiting for the next datamine 
Wish I could relate 
Not you Chezei, you're pulling everything
could start by doing a CSMM clear, chezei
I just hope not seeing you pull vlorelei and vbruno
I'm not planning to pull for Lorelei or Bruno!

I'll do their dailies like normal, but not gonna bother more than that
Only one who hasn’t done one yet 
I'm working on it 
Did you manage to finish 10 streaks on the previous gauntlet? 
Yeah, I got up to 12!

It has gems!!
At least I have plenty to on-type everyone in the Grass CS
Dont tell me that you didn't have enough grass units when you pulled everythang

Monotype grass 
I could 
Oh right hoping to see Chezei bring ScSonia...not sure why but I don't see many people having her
72 EX 

22 more
than me 
Fantina otw to 150 
I never summoned on that tea party event. I don’t have favs in general and SC units haven’t been in select scout yet
I have 69 ex lel
Same, i also skipped it... luckily im not getting tempted by bug zone...months later DeNa released a bug rebuff unit on a fave 
But what about Bug Rebuff and Bug Zone 
Too overkill
why
To be fair I normally only use the Subway bros for Bug-weak
Not sure if there's any more bug faves left
I can always hopium for shiny buzzwole thats bug i suppose
Oh there's slither wing
Genesect is on the EX and candy list tbh
Just waiting for a bug stage that gives me the edge to use resources
Lucian hs wise entry doesn’t be?
Idk if you have noticed by now, but I EX units for theme MM clears now lol
Richu I never look at these MM things and prepare what how you’re supposed to lol
Yes but Hilbert will brute force it regardless 
I’ve seen to much ssmay stuff she seems really fun and maybe on my radar for units to pull if I have a pity to spare
I love sync accel lel
If it’s not clear by doubke head start brendan and hs1 AniMay and CCalem + SSDiantha initial rock propulsion
Yep but i try to bruteforce using lusamine+sshilbert and they still work
But now we have new params so not sure if i can still sync nuke lusamine with that team or not
Glad to see you having fun with schilda 
Feels satisfying to sync nuke with her with ssdiantha giving her def buff for towering defense, def down all enemies for more damage and rock zone for even more damage 
Instead of doing one theme for the entire MM, I decided upon trying 5 different ones - one per round. It's a mix of the previous themes I've done on the channel.
00:00 - Round 1 - Bertha
A combination of my double Ho-Oh clears I've done in the past as well as the double Solar Beam units with Silver and Maxie. Bertha got beamed to oblivion. Pr...
finally got it out
i still have to watch yours, chezei lol
Oop fair enough. I don't know if anyone has actually watched mine yet
i watched like a round and a half after pogo raid hour lol
That's fair lmao

lorelei clear was still less frustrating than the one i did on monday 
Oh oop
the gladion clears are usually close from experience lol
so that i wasn't surprised
Reminds me why I don't do Gladion clears 
That Serena clear though 
Water Shuriken does so much damage it's comical
unlike you, i was too lazy to turn denial 
my SS Lyra is 3/5 so...worst case i just redo the round lol
Oh mine is only 1/5
That makes sense
Sync nukes do be quite good, especially meme ones
It’s more about damage numbers, and SS lyra can debuff…which increases meme potential lol
True, SS Lyra is so good for that
Grass rebuff with SS Lyra 

I hope you enjoyed the themes tho. I still have no idea what to do next week!
I did enjoy them! You almost got me interested in Brendan enough to EX one of his outfits 
I still have a few others I need to 150 before I think about getting there with Brendan
I use certificates when I need to clear a theme 
I have too many faves to 150 still... I don't spend my lodge tokens on certs because I want to 5/5 all the lodge pairs without candies 
that’s gonna be tough for ya. But as long as you can manage the resources it’s fine
That's the hope. It doesn't help that my lodge luck is so varied that I still don't even have Lodge Steven yet
#gacha-and-flex message let’s see how he does in zone in a couple weeks 
At 1/5? Ehhhh well he has haymaker at least
My 3/5 steven has yet to fail me. Zoneless too
i do like the whole beldum line so we'll see what he can do (although i'm sure many do lol). not planning to candy him at the current moment (since i've only gotten him for an hour
)
he woulda been eligible for my mega evolution only theme clear too..

You didn’t have Olivia already?
hmm??? lol
i don't remember my olivia level from sept 2022. she was probably 1/5 or 2/5 tho


smh
These sync pairs soared past the competition for 12.5k clear 
ignore the lack of dawn
Let them fly! A 12.5k MM clear with Pokemon in the air.
00:00 - Round 1 - Bruno (Ground weak)
I wasn't sure if Garchomp could clear 2500 points without sand. But it was still pretty easy. Mega Garchomp finishing Bruno off to win the battle. Shiny Ho-oh and Landorus are the other fliers here.
02:25 - Round 2 - Lorelei (Grass weak)
We had Gr...
slow work day + if i didn't edit it now it wouldn't be out before Wednesday lol. enjoy.

So the planned theme at worst I might need to upgrade a unit or two and maybe one of the supports I’ve been considering for months to the delight of one of you

No I’m not EX’ing support Janine 
Still waiting for when I can EX tech Janine 


Ready for the new week

i know you're only excited about the hilbert upgrade 
SS only theme???

Ah yes, my favourite Bug type, I use him all the time 
favourite bug, fire, water, electric, or ice type 
Cobalion is not a Bug type


I wouldn't know, I haven't used Cobalion ever 
Not that I've really used SS Hilbert since the Unova VA either tbh
i use SS hilbert a lot. i like the rebuff + i like the mcdonald's ex outfit lol
I like him as a unit, I just haven't found enough use for him yet. Maybe I'll come up with something
He is the better PDawn
i think a fun future theme clear would be based on ex outfits, just fun theme names. like ss blue, ss hilbert, and some other unit as "McDonald's Employee Theme Team". And other funny ones i guess
Black and white EX only


I guess I won’t need to select PDawn in the future 

I got her from the Palentine rerun pity 
It's always good to have more Dawn 
PDawn is pretty far down the list unfortunately. of course things may change in the future

That’s lucian 

Oh this is an interesting one!
I love black ex outfits so much
Not sure if I have enough but we'll see
Maybe one week we all need to pick a colour for our themes 
A coordinated theme clear would be interesting
Would be tricky to find 15 of one or two EX outfit colours tho
You might have to extend it to more than just EX outfits, like normal outfits or Pokémon colours or something
Use 5 colors of the rainbow for our full clear 
Red outfits team 1, orange team 2, etc
Here’s Sygna Suit 2v3 12.5k clear with debuts of SS Dawn 3/5 and SS Hilbert 3/5 EX. Agatha was a little tricky (had to swap out SS Kris for SS Morty for survival reasons. SS Dawn was useful enough..sync countdown on grid was nice here but I didn’t get to sync with her
. Tricky part was dealing with gauge from some of the 4-bar moves
. It was fun overall!

A 12.5k MM Kanto clear using only Sygna Suit units. Have to bring out the best ones for this!
00:00 - Round 1 - Agatha (Ghost weak)
It's important to bring out units who can help with speed and/or move gauge acceleration, and SS Morty has both. Originally wanted to use SS Kris but a more tankier and defensive support was more useful here.
0...
Does LuSSamine always hit for that little? Is that why I've never been able to figure out how to use her well?
She shoulda destroyed the sides but without terrain/wish it’s pretty accurate
Awkward setup and ideally you don’t use her move till after sync cuz that’s two freebies after sync basically

Slow setup doesn’t help I guess. “Slow” relative to what we have now
Maybe it would help if I had her at 3/5 or EXed 

That would be useful, yes 
Since you sync with her, might as well EX
Since you EX her, might as well 3/5 
But why do that when I can just use Lear and Lucian 
because those units won't work with a SS 2v3 theme clear 
I might have an easier time off-typing with SS Lyra or something 
shame on you for trying to off-type
. SS Lusamine works...she just needs help... 
I remember being so confused when people were talking about her being top tier since I could never make her work properly... Then we got SSteven and I still only used Lear/Lucian or AnniMay 
tbf, Lear is really good for 2v3 because of the sync acceleration. SS Brendan and Lear basically help you get like 2 or 3 moves away from syncing lol
not sure if anime has sync move acceleration
I don't think so. I usually use Lucian because of the SpDef drops and the gauge help
That and I still only have Brendan at 1/5 without EX 
give him 2 support candy and try a 2v3 clear this week 
But my precious support candies!
It’s worth it trust me


SS Brendan worth all the candies in the world
Everyone seems a bit biased 
I like latios!
My point exactly 

Brendan is a fave but his 3/5 is just so good ugh
Oh wait my Brendan is 4/5
How'd that happen
Duo banner
I must have gotten him on a daily from that banner then, since I didn't do any multis on it, but that means I both didn't take a screenshot and didn't realize I had him at 3/5 before that 
He's still not EXed though 
I’m so confused
think i'll elect to get a SS May dupe from the paid banner next Wednesday to get to 2/5. I just don't have Lance from that banner but I don't think I'll use him given the amount of dragon options we have. Onwards towards 3/5 SS May. I have been convinced by Dreamy.
Do ittttt, SS May is so good
it'll also be prime for the eventual time i use the starter pokemon theme clear
Oh right regarding the paid banner, is it a select? But in dev letter said its guaranteed
...i might not get it if its guaranteed, dont want to get a non fave instead of a fave dupe
Yeah it doesnt have the word select
I see, i wont grab it then...if its a select, i would love a ssleon/sshilda dupe but guaranteed might net me blaziken or other non faves instead 
According to absol's datamine, there are only 2 Legendaries there 
Oh really? We already know the pool? What fair units in it?
I saw mayziken and sscyrus
Bruh yeah I was talking in gem zen..it’s not guaranteed??? That’s not good lol
Mayziken / SS Cyrus / Lear / Lance / Alder / Marnie
well, at least you saved 3k paid

So 4 non faves and the faves in it already 3/5
so i will skip it...thanks Gakon
I even had the 2/5 SS May grid ready..

It’s guaranteed, but you can’t choose which fair it is
Getting Lance would be a mood
With my luck I'll get Marnie since she's the only one I have at 5/5 
Getting two tech candies the hard way 
with my luck i'll get 4/5 May 
These are my sync pairs btw. i've been wanting to a 5 (insert character theme) like gakon did for a while but i mostly only have 4 of a character 
15MC clear
i've thought bout that but dunno how doable it is with 12.5k
Not very
didn't we have a server event where we need to beat CSMM (as many points as possible) with all MCs
wasn't it difficult 
ooo that would be a fun mini challenge
Just get NY Dawn and Pal Dawn and you'll be set 
I only have 5 of Blue
I did an all five Blue clear once
I have 5 of ||Scottie
||

Hoping for another Scottie BP Master on anniv so that i can do five Scottie faves team
...happy that solgaleo expansion looks good
Oh yeah I’m liking that expansion. Very useful buffs
Nothing groundbreaking but will help with the steel zone
F2P Steel is a lot easier thanks to Solgaleo's BP 
Slowgaleo who can teleport
It looks better than my 3/5 Gloria, well she's gonna stay at that move level as i still cannot justify using 2 more candies to reach 5/5 
And Solgaleo is F2P
lol
Well at 5/5 Gloria’s def betyer but it’s a heavy commitment
Yep i rather spend those candies on my 1/5 sshilda or upcoming sslana 
Just pity the general banner to get her to 5/5 that way 
Ye Solgaleo is a little behind even with brainteaser and furious brain up
Gonna wait for melmetal and other future steel faves, i wont 5/5 her...too much commitment 
At 3/5 she still out damages him it is a 3 bar to a 4 bar 🐴
Solgaleo still has uses due to sunsteel strike passive that ignores bunch of enemies stuffs...so im grateful that DeNa boost its damage 
Quicker LG clears 

Ye it makes the misty Solgaleo azelf duo so much easier !!
It’s def my second best steel striker prolly KGrims is better
That unit is a tech tho 
Still a better steel striker
/s
Oh right now that it has BOGO 9 tm, i wonder if hop+solgaleo+gloria team is manageable. Before this its kinda hard due to no speed buffs, but well now its free move
Maybe hop Pb will give him Spd support 
Because luckily the current csmm is for easy regions but i still worry if sinnoh cs steel weak Bertha appears again and now we need to do 12.5k cs 
That’s why we are running the easier regions now
inb4 Sinnoh next 
head start go brrrr
rancer890's riveting CSMM and Legendary Gauntlet Clears!
Yessss additional alliteration action 

maybe another edit over the weekend, brain is uhhh non functional at almost 1:30 am 

Oh rancer are you ontarian too?
ye lol
Cleared with sync pairs with blue and/or white outfit theme. Why did I choose those colours?
it was one or the other lol, hard to have sync pairs with all blue and white
Suspicious lack of SS Dawn here 
blame the ex colours for that 
dunno why you said red as well, i'm not american 
i thought y'all knew your sports teams colours
lel
what sports team is blue and white lol
I don’t pay attention to sports
haha, i've been dealing with alot of rl stuff this week...i haven't even done the video yet lol
the video is not happening lol. marathon day in my city so i did the 5km portion. also have no theme idea for this upcoming week for now...
Why not use units from the current event theme skils and use those for your theme
Do elesa clears since she likes walking
But she doesnt like marathon 
Bodybuilder and/or Pokéathlete clear then?
Jasmine gamer
Lyra 
This is probably too broad 
Propose this idea to Sages, quick!
i still haven't planned teams, and some of y'all already finished the weekly CS lol
I do CS first thing on Monday and never bother with it anymore lol
I should do more themed clears
(I say this every week)
i actually did come up with a theme clear this week
I want to do mine earlier but I keep forgetting
this week my excuse is that I want to wait for Acerola and Lana

Looking forward to it
i just finished it lol


i don't think it's been done before
Theme is “using Pokémon with base stat total of 600” which was motivated by the Vantner because they always use legendaries and mythicals. However, I’ve always liked the pseudo legendaries more and I knew they had stat total of 600 but there’s only 10 of them in total and some aren’t even in the game yet..
These Pokémon have a base stat total of 600, averaging 100 for each stat.
A base stat total of 600 is one of the requirements for a pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
Oh wow
yeah, which is why i saved ya the trouble. i ain't like richu last week 
i looked into this but the sync pairs are a bit tricky to use with the synergy so i elected against it. a marathon based theme is pretty interesting overall tho. maybe if we get a special costume event like the poke games/olympic games kinda thing it would be something i'll re-consider
borrow it in the future if you want 

too bad there's only 10 pokemon with base stat total of 515 (https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Pokémon_with_a_base_stat_total_of_515). would be funny to do that on 5/15 next week 
and there's not enough anyways
everyone who appeared in alola VA?
i don't remember if non alola characters appeared tbh lol
i'm really happy that the weaknesses matched up really well ok fine i thought of the theme 50 minutes ago. it would have been pretty tricky if it was other weaknesses
Now do it during the next special CS 
Thats basically Alolan only theme lel
Inb4 Dark 
inb4 fairy 
not enough Fairy supports


i will try to create a video this week...since this week's theme was better than last week's

A clear using only Pokemon with a base stat total of 600 in the main games!
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Pokémon_with_a_base_stat_total_of_600
00:00 - Round 1 - Kahili (Rock weak)
Pretty straightforward clear! With base Diancie having 600 and with two Diancie in the game, rock weak stages are trivial.
01:44 - Round ...
Didn’t know you had Ex allister til

Vantner theme done. Will get the video out #soon

146
Increasing EXP without EXP books 
Even j have xp books smh
Oh I have XP books I just haven’t used them for the legendaries 
So many non EX 
Im interested in olivia clear, who's the one that sync? Is it maxie? But he is not EX...so Evelyn for synchro healing 1? But not many 3/5 her
Just using legendaries and mythicals in this one.
00:00 - Round 1 - Acerola (Dark weak)
Champ Marnie with SS Cyrus in dark zone basically makes this automatic with the infinite terrain parameter.
01:59 - Round 2 - Olivia (Ground weak)
Ground weak is tricky with this theme since I only have Maxie as the ground type damage dealer. No EX supp...
pushed that video out lol


Last time I didn’t make a video for LG, maybe I will or won’t, depends how I feel lol
I was planning to make one last time, but then I had to rush at the end and ran out of time 

This is the way
mandalorian reference
Why am I trying too hard for gauntlet..idk 
I will try more after I charge my iPad lol
SS May 
it's interesting that i have a lot of paralysis sync pairs but not a lot of sync pairs can that make opposite go to sleep
i also have the 2nd anni trio which i guess will go to azelf..so that's another 3 there
3/5 one day, just not today 
3/5 May is totally worth
her nuke and utility are crazy

How is your LG progress going Chezei? 
I've been at work all day
I've tried the NY Dawn solo on Azelf a few times, but no avail yet

Dont torture yourself 
This also causes problems for my run..like only N and Oak can paralyze...only SsCyrus can do sleep...so my piercing blows units are in high demand to split between Cobalion and Azelf 
The answer is probably Cobalion
you can brute force Azelf or flinch lock it
3/5,
3/5,



good to see Chezei doing some work
I believe I can flyyyy
