nov's not-much-but-it's-honest-work Gauntlet clears

[raven timber]

Aaand Latias #8

[shadow burrow]

Melony and Tech Lapras. Melony's move level doesnt matter if you can wait for Burgh's PB

[raven timber]

Oh, my plan was to utilize his sun related multipliers

[shadow burrow]

Also Tech Lapras needs Mind Games unless you are lucky with random debuff tile on Burgh grid

[shadow burrow]

One missed flinch and he dies

[raven timber]

that's true

looks like Burgh goes to Latias then

unfortuitous go brrrr

[shadow burrow]

He is good against Latias and sleep chain since he has funny random debuffs

[alpine dome]

Might steal this

Stealing

Stealing

[raven timber]

I'm considering tech gyara + nessa duo on Moltres but even thinking about it scares me

I did the duo on Entei, but Moltres....

[devout lichen]

Use nessa for uxie instead

[raven timber]

update: i quickly gave up

[raven timber]

not when she can nuke Moltres's bar 2, I won't!

[alpine dome]

Uxie Counters = GONE

[raven timber]

tf how did I even do Tech Gyara/Nessa on Entei

[raven timber]

Moltres #8
Gave up on the duo. Wow this took me half an hour

[shadow burrow]

Dont make me scared

[shadow burrow]

[raven timber]

you're the one doing 96 streaks, Gakon. don't make me scared

[shadow burrow]

[raven timber]

Uxie #8
I think this run could be described as "suffering from success". I have to intentionally leave Uxie not paralyzed and stall the first few sync cycles with Morty, while Helena debuffs sp def. After 3 sync buffs I nuked with Helena to wipe bar 1 without letting Uxie heal from paralysis. Uxie heals way too much if I don't skip half bar like this And Helena's shadow ball does waaay too much damage if Uxie is paralyzed

Only 5 runs today but I think I'll call it a day... My eyes are tired

[shadow burrow]

nov is catching up with me

[raven timber]

I'm only on win 24!

[shadow burrow]

thats 2 wins till mine!

[raven timber]

You'll end up with more streaks than me by a long shot anyway

I wonder since I'm doing a lot of clears per day, I'll have more days than usual to farm cookies

Usually I only do 3 clears a day and I only get around 3 days to farm cookies once I'm done streaking

[shadow burrow]

farming cookies... in a LG that has Moltres?

[raven timber]

I need to make up for the 40+ cookies Whitney ate for fucking Vigilance

[raven timber]

I just do 3 and repeat lol

I still have 400ish deluxe

[shadow burrow]

oh i thought you wanted to farm deluxe

wait wtf

[raven timber]

What

[shadow burrow]

you have 100+ deluxe?

[worn herald]

[raven timber]

The secret is to never use them

I have 1.5k and

[worn herald]

I never use mine and I still only have like 30 total I wonder why that might be

[raven timber]

I think I touched my deluxe stack when I gave CBede... Head start

I gave ss erika weathered warrior only after the guaranteed one came out

My paranoid ass thinks 400 cookies is still too little to gamble

[worn herald]

Girl that is enough to give like half your roster a deluxe skill

[shadow burrow]

[raven timber]

Ya think?

[shadow burrow]

[raven timber]

Cause if anything I might get unlucky and burn through 40 cookies for the skill that I want

[shadow burrow]

40 is still a rookie number

[raven timber]

That's my breaking point

I'd rather not spend more, please

I already burned through around 40 2* deluxe to give Marlon Wise Entry 2

I got every other entry passive multiple times except WE2

[shadow burrow]

thats unfortunate

[raven timber]

I need a separate cookie for these entry passives with better rates

[worn herald]

But think of how much easier it'll be to recuperate your candies if you spend them wisely!

[raven timber]

I spend them wisely all right! By not spending them at all

[worn herald]

that's slightly different

[raven timber]

At the very least I haven't reached the point of LG madness where I don't skip Villa to get 1 and 2* cookies

...yet

[worn herald]

[raven timber]

When I do that, you know I'm at a point of no return

Forgive me for the person I will become when we get lucky skill presets

[raven timber]

I spent almost an hour on hapu/may/support gyarados but i think i'll upgrade the tank lmao

[shadow burrow]

you dont have LCynthia?

tech Gyarados can open up one more streak, so dont use the support one

any defense buffer should work fine

[raven timber]

I do, but i'm trying to be cheaper

And it was support dragonite i wrote that in a fit lol

[shadow burrow]

Hapu/Sup Dragonite are popular partners for May

i wanted to save LCynthia for TMR duo on Latias but i also want to use Sup Dragonite with ARaihan

[raven timber]

Support dragonite can barely survive up to bar 2

And if bar 2 heat wave doesn't miss, Hapu just folds

Even under rain

I'm sacrificing 1 sync node for refreshing rain but is it worth it?

[shadow burrow]

did you tank with Hapu?

i did document this team in my doc, so this is grid for everyone: https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=012600026000&s0=5&l0=140&r0=6&p0=0&a0=18041802&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFBggKDRUWFx0fICI&v1=014920&s1=1&l1=140&r1=4&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=44&n1=1&f1=0&v2=001300075000&s2=5&l2=140&r2=5&p2=0&a2=24010201&t2=44444&g2=AAECAwQFBgkKDA0PERITFBcYHB0f

[raven timber]

Tanked with the dragonite

Also is 5* hapu necessary?

Mine's 4*

[raven timber]

Moltres #9
I want to cry

Moltres will be receiving my therapy bills

[shadow burrow]

lol

Having Fire Guard on Hapu makes the run easier

[raven timber]

I have Vigilance on her because I did the Hapu/May duo on Entei

Lucky skill presets when

Latias #9
I had to use an eggmon last time, but not anymore!

Yes yes i know clemont can solo and i should've just used an eggmon to make things easier but i'm still having war flashbacks from the May run

[shadow burrow]

You are not alone, i wont do Clemont solo ||because mine is not EX||

[raven timber]

wow my status change units are actually quite few

Uxie is so straightforward and yet...

...what if I start attempting to nuke bar 2 by taking advantage of that Sure Hit + Sure Crit....

[raven timber]

Uxie #9
I am actually getting low on Uxie counters whaaat

[alpine dome]

Stealing

Also anyone mind telling me how the Nessa duo is even possible on Moltres?

[frosty plinth]

I remember I was able to clear Entei using Nessa + Tech Gyarados duo after several attempts.

[alpine dome]

Stealing

[frosty plinth]

I was planning to do it again for this one but reading this, I won't bother trying to duo it

[alpine dome]

@raven timber mind telling me about the ssmorty + zinnia team?

slowpoke is probably better filler for that team since speed isn't an issue

[raven timber]

Draco meteor spam on zinnia. Morty is gridded with sunny disposition, TM MPR, and all the potion tiles (I think you can afford flameproof too). On bar 2 you just chuck potions every other turn
Also seaking was there for some flinches basically

[raven timber]

I can tell you how it works on Entei but not on Moltres

[raven timber]

Nitsua save yourself and get a better tank, that run took me HOURS

[low harbor]

So a short battle then

[raven timber]

I saw that aurochs

[raven timber]

[worn herald]

This is exactly why I don't do Gauntlet much

[raven timber]

as much as I complain about RNG in gauntlet, I'm way too deep into it, i'm addicted now

the rest of you can go grind high score next month as you please while I do 180k and dip

[worn herald]

I need an event for whales that are bad at the game if I want to be competitive in it

[spark pasture]

cmon nov, you love high score RNG

[shadow burrow]

me and nov chilling

[devout lichen]

I’m pressuring myself to do the electric HS event fr, but after that i’ll never bother

[worn herald]

Tbh I know I'll never get top 100 in LG so I want to try for it in HS

[shadow burrow]

I just do high streaks for rewards. Im not a competitive type

[raven timber]

Hmmm i'm doing ccalem/siebold/tech slowpoke but i have gauge issues

[raven timber]

I have exactly 15 electric pairs so i won't try hard

[shadow burrow]

Which stats does Slowpoke buff for itself?

iirc you have to grid Siebold with AS MGR9

[raven timber]

Oh come on chezei, you can reach top 100 in LG with that roster of yours

Don't you want to flex your Dawn on the leaderboard!

[raven timber]

+4 speed, def and sp def

[raven timber]

Hmmmm i'll do that

I took it off in favor of nuke tiles

Why are double down and brain sync so far away from each other raaaaah

[worn herald]

don't tempt me Nov! I don't have the sanity to spare on LG

[shadow burrow]

You have to grid TM Super Preparation too

To skip bar 3

*2

[raven timber]

Yeah i can almost skip bar 2 without super prep

[shadow burrow]

Oh check my LG doc, i saved the team

[raven timber]

With 3 sync buffs

[shadow burrow]

With grid and video

[raven timber]

Today's a national holiday so I'll be going out, hunting for promos

Not many clears today i'm afraid

[shadow burrow]

[worn herald]

Do I need to do clears in her stead?

[raven timber]

yes

[worn herald]

no wait hang on

[raven timber]

hmmmm now tech slowpoke/ccalem/siebold feels too overkill

but i'm not sure if I can duo without the eggmon since my calem doesn't have fast track

Moltres #10
Whew

30% flinch....

[raven timber]

hmmm. I'm having trouble with Glacia/Ghetsis, but adding an eggmon suddenly makes it much too easy

[worn herald]

just commit to the eggmon

[raven timber]

but but but...

[worn herald]

Maintain some sanity, Nov! Unless you're going for 100+ clears, you don't need to hyper optimize everything

[raven timber]

I'm going for as high as I can

i just need to find a middle ground between this rather frail duo and something that clears at literally full HP

[worn herald]

Just dump Dennis

[raven timber]

Latias #10
Too late!

One of these days I will make them work as a duo

Maybe when Glacia is EX'd

[worn herald]

How mandatory is Dennis EX

[raven timber]

if anything his Glaciate MGR9 is more appreciated than EX

[shadow burrow]

smh you wasted a Moltres counter ||egg Aerodactyl||

[raven timber]

You're right, I could've used striker aerodactyl for Moltres

||no i won't||

Uxie #10
More eva teams except this time it's necessary for Morty's stupid multiplier

[low harbor]

Nov saving them for the triple egg clears

[worn herald]

[raven timber]

s are precious

Uxie #11
20% confusion

Wow look a f2p team!

[worn herald]

Is Rosa 3/5?

[raven timber]

You wish!

I need those old events that give free copies to story units to rerun

[worn herald]

True, I need to get my Rosa to 5/5

[raven timber]

Moltres #11
Well this wasn't so bad

[raven timber]

You say this but you do weird clears in CS and even found a hack to do the previous week's CS when it has supposedly reset

We're all just crazy but in different game modes

[raven timber]

What is this screenshot I took with Meowstic raising his ears...

[shadow burrow]

you know too much, prepare to be erased from reality by Meowstic

[raven timber]

[spark pasture]

That’s one way to describe all of us

[alpine dome]

B-b-but budget…

[worn herald]

No budget

Only trios with solid tanks, good damage, and a reliable check into the gimmick

[alpine dome]

Stealing. Team specs? Please tell me he’s 2/5..

[alpine dome]

Recording

[alpine dome]

Recording?

[alpine dome]

Stealing

[raven timber]

Mine's 3/5

[raven timber]

I don't record LG runs, sorry. The Glacia/Ghetsis was pretty straightforward. Ghetsis nukes first to get the flygon below half health, second sync goes to Glacia for synchro healing and bulk. The rest of bar 1 syncs still go to Glacia while Ghetsis finishes sides with Glaciate. Once sides are down Ghetsis can start nuking

[raven timber]

This team I tried damage control by stalling bar 1 but janine just couldn't dodge enough moves before she started dying so I just synced with Janine the first time (even though she's not EXd). I applied poison after first sync and second sync onwards went to Morty. I tried to skip bar 2 so janine could live to apply poison bar 3

[alpine dome]

I meant that for myself on warehouse, tho idk if I’ll ever uphold these self promises

[raven timber]

Latias #11
Was busy with my internship and could only do 1 run so far

[raven timber]

Moltres #12
Hilbert and Hilda can, apparently, take a bar 1 sun-boosted Moltres sync in the face!

That's the only AOE Hilda is allowed to take because the Heat Wave will surely kill!

[shadow burrow]

[raven timber]

My weather setters remaining include:
SS Kris, Bertha, Winona, Acerola, both Candices, Irida, eggmons minus tech gyara

[worn herald]

[raven timber]

I know Olivia and Tech Kabutops can work, I just need to find a support

[alpine dome]

STEALING. GIVE

[raven timber]

CS2 Blue, vigilance Lillie. Blue syncs first and the rest goes to Lillie. Keep Lillie alive until bar 3

If you're lucky and don't get defense crushed too often all 3 should tank the EQ

[raven timber]

Uxie #12

currently trying Lucian + Bianca on Latias... if only my Lucian was 3/5 this would be easier

honestly very tempted to EX the both of them rn

[shadow burrow]

[raven timber]

I caved ...

[shadow burrow]

[raven timber]

Latias #12
Ugh, i'm ashamed to say I didn't quite manage the duo

[raven timber]

Moltres #13
Farmed 5 sync buffs bar 1. Barry almost oneshotted bar 2

hail causing my screen to lag gave me anxiety, and Moltres wakes up in the weirdest of times

Conclusion: i have no fucking clue how to consistently sleep chain Moltres

[shadow burrow]

Sand and hail chip make sleep chaining on Moltres harder

A simple solution is giving everyone Snow/Sand Shelter

[raven timber]

Irida protects the whole team from hail damage dw

[raven timber]

How tf do people do Solgaleo + Piers on anything

Ungodly MPRs?

[shadow burrow]

that duo is very tight

you need a lot of TM and Obstruct MPR

as well as favorable dmg rolls

just duo with SwMisty instead of Piers

[raven timber]

Swimmisty already used

Uxie #13
Sighhhhh

One day i'll have the skill and patience for the infamous solgapiers duo

That day is not today

[shadow burrow]

or you can use a potion eggmon instead of Brock

[raven timber]

I tried

Solgaleo wasn't doing enough before getting killed by syncs

Power reserves......

I hate playing this unit

[shadow burrow]

at least Uxie doesnt have EQ

[raven timber]

About to beat up Latias again, last fight for today

I'm at 38 streaks and I still have a lot of good weather setters. Uxie counters are in a .... Bad condition but it feels great to know I can beat my last Moltres personal best

[raven timber]

Latias #13
Streak 39! Bluecanine just helped clear bar 1 faster. Looking back this team is very overkill but oh well

[shadow burrow]

[devout lichen]

Finally

[alpine dome]

CBede move level?

[alpine dome]

does Blue need to be EX?

also assuming support clefable

[raven timber]

3/5

[raven timber]

It sure helps to clean up sides

And yeah, support clefable

I tried with support chansey at first but failed just short of winning even though those two share basically the same purpose

I refuse to believe it's because of Fairy theme skill

[raven timber]

Latias #14
Win 40! I couldn't make Kiawe/Mina work as a duo before Kiawe started getting pummelled and ran out of potions, so I brought one of my worst striker EXs remaining . 1/5 furbert

[shadow burrow]

[raven timber]

Uxie #14
Whew

[raven timber]

Moltres #14
Dear Lord this had me trembling

[shadow burrow]

did someone die?

cuz you have to rely on flinch luck lol

[alpine dome]

Lowkey might steal this (stealing)

[alpine dome]

Brock can duo too

[raven timber]

In my winning run, no! The flinch luck was insane

[raven timber]

Using solgaleo on any LG makes me grit my teeth

[raven timber]

Latias #15
My teams are getting more and more overkill which means I'm getting more and more tired

[shadow burrow]

stay strong my friend!

think about cookies and tickets

[raven timber]

Whenever I think about that, I think about the fact that I still need to fight Moltres "one more time"
I think about this every cycle 💀

Tried Brendan/Aaron/support seadra but the flinchfest burned me out, maybe tomorrow

[shadow burrow]

you can grid Brendan with Staggering for more chance to flinch, but that locks you on using Bullet Seed only

[raven timber]

Yeah i did

Staggering 1 barely procced

[shadow burrow]

[raven timber]

Moltres #15
Flinchlocking the bird isn't good for the heart

[raven timber]

what do you mean I don't have tech charmander or tech sandshrew.....

there goes two Uxie counters

[worn herald]

Time to get to hatching eggs

[raven timber]

i'm already hatching eggs!

Uxie #15
Win 45, give it up for win 45!

[worn herald]

[raven timber]

Acerola's TM MPR was shit so I think Gladion was playing at +2 crit

I could never tell if his syncs crit or not because I don't have CS2 on him and Uxie has no damage shields as an indicator and his numbers are so low anyway that I don't know what to expect 😭

[worn herald]

Gladion power boost please Dena

[raven timber]

He desperately needs it

[shadow burrow]

45 streaks

good amount tbh

[raven timber]

I have plenty of supports left!

...i just don't know which to allocate to Uxie, who seems the least demanding

[spark pasture]

45 win streak

[raven timber]

and I'm not planning to stop any time soon!

I'm confident I can hit 50 at the very least

time to attempt the brendan/aaron team again... sigh...

[shadow burrow]

just add a speed eggmon

[spark pasture]

Go to 100 wins

[raven timber]

I am!

[raven timber]

have never reached that even without Moltres in the rotation

though I think someone with more skill and patience can take my account to 100 wins

Gosh, Staggering 1 is a myth

[raven timber]

Moltres #16
My phone wasn't quick enough to take a screenshot but on my winning run, this team cleared at full HP

What did it cost? An hour of my time...

[alpine dome]

1/5 Steven?

[raven timber]

3/5

[alpine dome]

Recording. Used 2/5 CRed this time, but this is good too

[alpine dome]

Recording

[raven timber]

I haven't used my Red I think

[spark pasture]

that's scandalous!

[raven timber]

I haven't used a lot of great supports

Ss blue, ss kris, ssa cynthia, red...

[spark pasture]

you're going to forget to use them when you don't have time

especially this weekend when it's pokemon gofest

[raven timber]

Eh I'll be busy moving back into my uni dorm I reckon

[spark pasture]

you're busy regardless for LG

[raven timber]

Latias #16
I brought support kangaskhan to potion Karen so she could survive the EQ but she flinched the EQ anyways like a champ, so... The potions were near useless. Very overkill now that I think about it but I think my streaks are coming to an end soon

[spark pasture]

50+ win streaks

[raven timber]

I can hit 50, I'm confident!

I've done 16 Moltres clears so far and 10 of them didn't remove sun

my poor heart

[spark pasture]

can't even use the overkill units

[raven timber]

i'm getting paranoid because I don't know when is the right time to use my overkill units

decisions, decisions!

[worn herald]

Right now

[spark pasture]

and then you never use them because you don't have the time

so the easiest way

is to use the overkill units first

[worn herald]

It's like hoarding items in an RPG

I do the same thing

[spark pasture]

my gawd, that's pokemon music

[raven timber]

LG lasts until September 4, right? I'm sure I'll run out of steam before that

[spark pasture]

use them now

[raven timber]

i've used over half of my roster

[raven timber]

b-b-but....

[spark pasture]

i haven't even used 5% of mine

[worn herald]

I've used 0%

[worn herald]

You can do it!

[spark pasture]

or maybe i've used 10%

[devout lichen]

Apparently i’ve used 21% of my roster

[shadow burrow]

eww math

[shadow burrow]

So you are Volcanion?

[devout lichen]

Obviously she’s walking wake

[raven timber]

Uxie #18
Gosh this was so overkill...

That's one (out of many) good supports down!

[worn herald]

[raven timber]

I need to find a way to make Summer N survive a sure-crit Earthquake holy shit

[devout lichen]

Bring a dark support for theme skills

It’s what i did for ss hau (he’s weak to ground)

[worn herald]

You brought a dark support for theme skills to help SS Hau?

[raven timber]

Latias #17
N didn't survive the EQ, so striker Dawn nuked bar 3 (hence the crit buffer)

[devout lichen]

What LS is that Dawn

[raven timber]

...status immunity

From way back when I made her tank Moltres

I actually got unlucky and on bar 3 Dawn's sync didn't crit

she tanked a Stored Power like a champ (read: she barely lived)

[worn herald]

Just grid Eagle Eye on Razor Leaf

[raven timber]

Back to Moltres again! I'm mentally unprepared

squints at Lodge May's paper thin defense

oooo i'm exactly on rank 300 rn

[worn herald]

[shadow burrow]

[devout lichen]

insert x 298

[raven timber]

Win 50 will have to wait until tomorrow, I just finished packing

[spark pasture]

It’s good to stop at 50..

[raven timber]

And leave SSA Cynthia, SS Brendan, SS Blue, etc etc unused?

[spark pasture]

Of course

That’ll teach ya not to leave the strong units till the end

[raven timber]

I will use the good units on my roster if it's the last thing I do!

[spark pasture]

Time is against you

[raven timber]

Nah, i'm pretty confident since during the first few days of LG I had a head start with 6-7 clears a day

LG9 happened during finals week, I did an average of 3 clears a day, and managed to hit 65

This time I don't think I can reach that number, not because I lack time, but because of the damn bird

[shadow burrow]

65 why i didnt know about this

[raven timber]

You didn't?

Found it

Wow I even had 3 days remaining to grind cookies!

[shadow burrow]

my memory can only save the data within 1 month

[raven timber]

[raven timber]

Moltres #17
Win 50, give it up for win 50!

[worn herald]

[raven timber]

There, ss kris used

[raven timber]

Uxie #17
Aaaand that's the last Piercing Blows unit I have

[shadow burrow]

[spark pasture]

Hmm, using anni leaf against moltres in LG..

[raven timber]

The best way to use her

[spark pasture]

Anni Leaf - I have the higher ground, Moltres!

[raven timber]

beat Moltres with Moltres

[spark pasture]

And I’ll assume you’ll go for the support eggmons for their utility

[raven timber]

of course!

[spark pasture]

[spark pasture]

although not sure if the supports are the shiny variant

[raven timber]

Oh, yeah... Idk about that either

[hard grotto]

40 more than me lol

[raven timber]

Moltres #18
Hey look, a f2p team! And I actually used Cheren somewhere? 🤯

[spark pasture]

[raven timber]

i'm running low on supports

[worn herald]

No wonder you had to use Cheren

[raven timber]

Latias #18
Overkill teams because I'm getting tired

Could Burgh and Melony duo? Yes definitely. But

I'm at win 53. I wonder if I can reach 60

I have both Candices unused but I hate how laggy my game becomes when I bring Hail

[raven timber]

The moment i start using overkill teams, that's how you know I'm getting tired

Moltres #19
Retired E4 and local island gambler teams up with a cat owner evil boss and a turtle to defeat a fire bird in one try, more at page 55

[shadow burrow]

That damn bird deserves getting nuked multiple times

[spark pasture]

First time I’ve seen the cat owner more evil than the cat

[raven timber]

Uxie #19
Maybe it's the timing of my moves or something, but sometimes I get to sync under Silver's own sun

[shadow burrow]

missing 1 or 2 moves might contributes to that

[low harbor]

This is why the Blaine Silver team always concerned me! Just sync earlier!

[raven timber]

Yeah, missing moves helped

But i'm quite sure there was a cycle where i didn't miss a single move but got to sync under silver's own sun anyway

Latias #19
I love synchro healing non-supports!

i'm figuring out uxie right now. damn i can't believe i'm at 59

6 more to my personal best, whaaat!

Uxie #20
I'm ashamed at how overkill this is

But also I don't care at this point

[raven timber]

Uxie #21
One day I will make Lyra/Erika duo work on their own but that day is not today

[shadow burrow]

Just EX your Lyra

[spark pasture]

Lyra?

[raven timber]

She's on my waitlist for the outfit. But i don't use her as often as I should ...

Moltres #21!
As far as Moltres counters go, I am down to both Candices, Lapras, Jynx, and a dream (read: as many flinchlock teams as my sanity and time would let me)

I can't believe I'm gonna break my personal best on a Moltres LG wow this is wild

[worn herald]

You're improving!

[worn herald]

Use her to nuke a grass weak stage

[raven timber]

she's already nuking tapu bulu as is

[raven timber]

what a journey

[devout lichen]

How tho
Moltres is immune to debuffs under sun

[spark pasture]

That’s why you change the weather

Meme LG round

[raven timber]

I'll probably pair her with a flincher and someone else that likes sun

All I know is that team solar immunity is gonna help tons

~~but what if.... Hear me out.... NC Leaf on Uxie to deactivate acute senses ~~

Or who knows, maybe her debuffs will go to Latias instead!

I still have some Moltres counters. All hail setters and I hate Hail because it makes my phone lag like shit but what can I do

[worn herald]

You could call it there and get ready for HS

[raven timber]

Get ready for 180k? 🥱

I only own one half of the Zeus rodents

I have the medal

The rewards beyond 180k is shit

You guys have fun while I destress

[worn herald]

But... But getting a high score... the validation

[raven timber]

My validation comes from LG

[worn herald]

But... Uhh...

I'm running out of propaganda lines reasons

[raven timber]

Also they're not even rerunning more electric pairs to entice me

That dojo gloria/ss lysandre banner was SO GOOD

But only CElesa? Oh come on now at least put SS Hau in there, no idc if he's too new

[worn herald]

I agree with that actually. SS Hau is the only Electric pair I don't have

[raven timber]

Yknow what even if he reruns rn i might skip again

NC Kantrio are already hurting my stash

Will be zenning hard next month

Most of my faves got alts recently so unless they drop a male main character alt I should be fine

[worn herald]

Nate alt next month

[raven timber]

That would be the dream

[spark pasture]

Don’t worry Chezei, we can go for HS

[raven timber]

Good luck y'all for HS

[worn herald]

I'll try to match your LG energy in the HS!

[raven timber]

Matching my energy means doing it day 1

[worn herald]

what day does it come out again? I might need to request it off work

[raven timber]

#1012256199128915968 message

[worn herald]

Almost a week before my birthday omg

I guess I'll have to commit or have a really good excuse

[spark pasture]

bday chezei

[shadow burrow]

🤝

[raven timber]

Latias #21
Wow i ended up using SS Gio after all. Gauge was a bit tight

[raven timber]

Moltres #22
Birb vs birb

[shadow burrow]

Moltres deserves this level of overkill

[raven timber]

Latias #22
Whoops, I used NC Leaf on Latias after all!

"Nov how was her sync at 1/5 non EX" I don't know bestie, I synced with her three times and none of them crit

And with that, I hit my personal best on my way to bully Uxie with BP Erika, probably another round of Latias and Moltres, and I'll call it quits

[worn herald]

[shadow burrow]

[raven timber]

Uxie #22
I did it, I surpassed my personal best

Also holy shit Victor's nuke was actually impressive

[spark pasture]

[raven timber]

Latias #23
Throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks

Boy it feels great to use overkill units that I don't know who else to pair with!

I'm at 67 wins, should I stop at the funny number or round it up to 70

[spark pasture]

I want nice

[shadow burrow]

Preserve your sanity nov

Go for funny number

[raven timber]

I still have both Candices and SS Blue! Plus BP Erika

[shadow burrow]

[raven timber]

Moltres #23
Fuck Candice. Fuck Hail. Fuck the lag it causes me. Flinchlock is the way to go

[spark pasture]

One more clear?!?!

[raven timber]

Uxie #23
Who better to end the streak with but him?!

So everyone

I am pleased to announce

N I C E

I AM FREE

[hard grotto]

gg

[spark pasture]

Nice

[spark pasture]

..free to go back to school

[raven timber]

Final teams!

It's been a wild journey! I definitely didn't expect to beat my personal best in a Moltres gauntlet, but hard work, perseverance, and my personal desire for an ego boost pulled through! I'd like to thank everyone for sticking with me and watching my sanity deteriorate. Also thank you to everyone whose teams I may have stolen Can't wait for the next LG and good luck to everyone grinding High Score this month

[spark pasture]

Grats nov. maybe ask aurochs to pin. 69 LG win streak is a very nice achievement

[raven timber]

oh no i have joined the "flexing my LG streaks on my name" gang

[raven timber]

hi mods if you see this can you pin

[shadow burrow]

Congrats it was a long journey to see you building up streaks

[raven timber]

someday i'll reach 100, trust

[shadow burrow]

I hope the day comes soon

[raven timber]

well if they're repeating LG3...

Latios/Regirock/Tornadus

[shadow burrow]

If the top 1 player can reach 168 streaks, i think people will go past 200 streaks with that lineup

[raven timber]

Tornadus will be the run ender eventually, yeah? we have a lot of paralysis units but still

well, that said, I do hope they're not just recycling LGs

[shadow burrow]

My uncle working at dena said that we are getting Cresselia in the next lineup

[raven timber]

GIMME

it's gonna stress me out so much but WHO CARES

[shadow burrow]

Preserve your sanity, even i wont go pass 12 streaks with Cresselia

[raven timber]

anything for that sweet sweet 5 per win

[hard grotto]

I hope next LG is simple

so I can play

aka not a moltres lg lol

[shadow burrow]

You want to get tortured by Cresselia huh

Im looking forward to see Raikou taking part in LG lineups, but not Cresselia and Terrakion

[raven timber]

terrakion would be tricky, yeah

[spark pasture]

Cresselia, Moltres, Regirock

[alpine dome]

the og cancer lg lineup

[hard grotto]

I'd be fine with Terrakion, since he's new

even if he ends up being a pain I at least want to see him once

[raven timber]

agreed

[spark pasture]

But we haven’t seen Cress yet

[raven timber]

at this point I think Terrakion or Raikou have higher chances of getting to LG than Cress ngl

they had 10 chances of putting Cress to LG but didn't

probably too afraid of her and her gimmicks

[spark pasture]

i just want to see the LG high streak community be annoyed, that's all

[raven timber]

I do want to see how far I can go in a Cress LG

[hard grotto]

someone made a cress LG at some point iirc, just for fun

like, beating cress lots of times without reusing the same unit

[worn herald]

LG but it's only Cresselia

[alpine dome]

I think I remember witnessing this, tho idk who did it.

[raven timber]

I remember that too

[raven timber]

taking advantage of this power temporarily bestowed upon me

[worn herald]

[devout lichen]

Rip dreamy

[raven timber]

[worn herald]

I think the staff team can excuse Nov pinning her own message in her pwn thread

[raven timber]

i really wish discord would just allow us to pin things in our own thread

[shadow burrow]

insert Tai's you are banned meme

[hard grotto]

You can do like me and bother dreamy's ass when I need to pin something

[raven timber]

LET'S
FUCKING
GOOOOOOOOOO

[spark pasture]

[shadow burrow]

Insert someone's voice in poma that i forgot:

Lets get stronger together 🤝

[low harbor]

so you have to decide to solo Latios or use a unit on a team for someone else

[raven timber]

this will be an on-going dilemma

hmmm, LG is mid October

[devout lichen]

[raven timber]

Here we fucking go

Tornadus #1
Starting off strong

[shadow burrow]

[raven timber]

gonna try ss lyra solo vs registeel

will i record? no i believe someone else will do it

[shadow burrow]

There is no one doing it so far hmm

Now is your chance to get your name into the solo doc!

[raven timber]

Bohmander did it two minutes before me

[shadow burrow]

Oopsie

[raven timber]

Registeel #1
ggez

I got an ungodly amount of terrain MPRs

Where is this luck when I was trying to pull for anything this second half of the year

[shadow burrow]

Congrats you have used all your luck on this clear

[raven timber]

Latios #1
She

Currently trying to solo Registeel with SS Leaf but no luck yet

The furthest I got was start of bar 2

[raven timber]

forget the solo, i can't even duo with support dragonite

[raven timber]

rip i've been trying this ss leaf clear for over an hour

[pure pollen]

I salute you guys' mental fortitude for real

[low harbor]

Sometimes I spend days on one solo

[pure pollen]

cheering from the sidelines

[worn herald]

I'll spend days on certain CS clears sometimes

[worn herald]

I believe in you!!

[pure pollen]

Me since yesterday trying to make my god awful theme work

[raven timber]

Registeel #2
Screaming

CGio not getting Aggravation is a crime

Tried supp dragonite instead of cgio but it just wasn't enough

[raven timber]

hahaha not me eyeing the SSilver solo on Registeel as if I didn't just get bullied by the titan half an hour ago

[worn herald]

Do we need to have an intervention already

[raven timber]

well it's either this or I solo latios!

the video from skippingmud doesn't look toooooo bad... right?

my ssilver has CS2 instead of stoic though, and I really hate changing lucky skills, so i'll have to find a way around that somehow

(i'm gonna regret this, i just know it)

[shadow burrow]

Just slap in a defense eggmon!

[raven timber]

defense eggmons are so valuable

[raven timber]

Tornadus #2
Immortal deer strikes again!

Sorry aurochs, no sycamore solo this time

[shadow burrow]

smh go to sleep

[raven timber]

Latios #2
Later!

I'm gonna attempt this one Tornadus clear first

Tornadus #3
SS N I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

Bro was hanging on 1 HP when he nuked bar 3

[raven timber]

Registeel #3
Ok i'm going to sleep for real this time

[spark pasture]

The funny thing is that I can hypothetically get these clears done with the same units

Might 3/5 Leaf for LG HS event

[raven timber]

i'm a f2p, i definitely think someone like chezei can get these clears done with the same units and have an easier time, even

[spark pasture]

I only have 65% of the units she has lol

But between these ones and Gakon (who I also have units at the same move level), I can technically get them done

Can you two just be my testers

[raven timber]

what do you think we're doing right now?

i do think Gakon has a higher RNG tolerance than me though

but i don't think i'm a good benchmark either

[frosty gulch]

Registeel #1

[raven timber]

nice, but please make a personal thread in #1010274591601598555

[frosty gulch]

My bad. Sorry about that

[spark pasture]

You know you’re famous when others wanna share their LG clears with you. Thanks for the solo idea btw lol

[hard grotto]

lol

[shadow burrow]

Nov can i borrow your luck for a while? I need to get through SST Red solo

[raven timber]

Latios #3
Wow this felt way too overkill but I didn't feel like soloing

[raven timber]

Can I borrow your luck too so I can solo Registeel with SSilver without needing Stoic?

[worn herald]

Using two characters, one of which is an eggmon, and calling it overkill

[raven timber]

When zerena's first sync almost oneshots Latios's bar 1, you know adding an eggmon is overkill

Supp porygon was for sp def buffs and some speed but looking back, I didn't need the sp def part lol

[worn herald]

I don't think I could solo with Zerena

[raven timber]

I think the solo doc has her with speedy entry

Hmmm idk who else I'd like to solo Latios with

[shadow burrow]

My luck does not exist anymore after i beat Regi with first try

[shadow burrow]

Smh not duoing with Calem on Tornadus

[raven timber]

A lot of units whose solos are easy on latios are better vs the other 2

[shadow burrow]

The only good place to use Bugsy is on Latios

Thats why do the solo

[spark pasture]

I already did the SST Red solo lol

[shadow burrow]

Mine is only 1/5 non EX tho

[spark pasture]

yeah that solo is impossible

[shadow burrow]

3/5 is basically a free solo

No thats possible, just needs a Hurricane miss

[spark pasture]

eh

rng

bleh

[shadow burrow]

[spark pasture]

yeah i gave up on sc diantha solo

[worn herald]

Dealing with too much rng doing LG
Dealing with too much rng doing CS

[spark pasture]

[alpine dome]

@raven timber Can you share specs for:

1. Sycamore on Torn
2. SSLeaf on Registeel

[raven timber]

Vigilance on both

[alpine dome]

fuck SSLeaf is 5/5..

[raven timber]

[alpine dome]

also anything to note about the other pairs?

[raven timber]

you'll need a better flinchbot than cgio if you have her 3/5 i guess

cgio folds to focus blast so either you flinch it or you solo with ss leaf from then on

[alpine dome]

just get lucky™

[raven timber]

bar 3 was awful, regi can't be poisoned so i couldn't get toxic freebie, gauge was horrible

and her sync will hit like wet noodles

[alpine dome]

I'm interested about Tech Pinsir, since it can't last as long as immortal deer

[raven timber]

mine's 4* with vigilance

tanked the heat wave like a champ

i saved pinsir's TM so i could continuously get gradual heals

[hard grotto]

Yeah literally any little help makes a duo lmao

[raven timber]

Tornadus #4
Forgot to post this

[raven timber]

Registeel #4
Gave up on the solo even with an eggmon this was pretty tight. I was this 🤏 close to giving Defense Crush to weezing

[shadow burrow]

[raven timber]

Latios #4
Goated unit

[shadow burrow]

Hey hey slow down slow down i just complete the 14th streak

Wait

My dumbass brain thought you were at 20 streaks already

I should take a little break from LG

[raven timber]

i'm only 2 behind

is clemont getting a grid expansion later this month or did he already get it i need to remember not to use him too early

[shadow burrow]

Later this month

I dont want to wait till 25th for him

He can duo with a paralysis eggmon already

[raven timber]

but... self sufficiency

i'll hold off on using him for now

[shadow burrow]

Yeah his power boost is so good for LG duo and solo

[raven timber]

Tornadus #5
I am now a Cheryl + Ghetsis truther too

okay but i have this problem with Ghetsis where it feels like he has innate -2 crit on his sync because whenever I use him I am always cursed with bad RNG and he didn't crit on sync

Latios #5
Someday my Lucas will be 3/5 and I'll do that damn solo

"someday"

[raven timber]

Registeel #5
OH MY GOSH

Wasn't as hard as I expected. Thanks @shadow burrow for the specs

Had to EX Lucian for it but it's very worth, the guy is a beast

[shadow burrow]

How many tries it took?

[hard grotto]

Tate better

[shadow burrow]

40% flinch 💔

[raven timber]

not that many, less than 10?

thorton got insane flinch luck on bars 2 and 3

tate could never

[shadow burrow]

I did the duo first try ~~but Lucian had to dps the last bit of bar 2 because Hyper Beam fun 💔 ~~

[raven timber]

why are you squinting, winston less than 10 tries is a blessing for flinch runs

[low harbor]

less than 10 is so few runs lol

[raven timber]

Tornadus #6
Very comfy clear

[shadow burrow]

nov is catching up

[raven timber]

my progress might be slow today, i'm pretty busy

[raven timber]

Latios #6
There's something satisfying about using all 3 new Kantrio to solo all 3 LG stages

[raven timber]

Registeel #6
The ol' reliable

[pure pollen]

OG Valerie really carrying here credit to her fr

[raven timber]

she absolutely carries

[raven timber]

Latios #7

[rain siren]

What move level? •.•

[hard grotto]

2 at least

[raven timber]

3/5

Registeel #7
Gosh this sucked. Had to EX Kiawe to make it slightly more bearable

[shadow burrow]

Kiawe struggles to tank Regi without heal

[raven timber]

When I did get infinite potions, Bruno failed to crit on sync

Tornadus #7
Last clear of the day, the ol' reliable. Part of me feels like this is a bit too overkill

[hard grotto]

Is it overkill ? Probably
Is it fun ?
Does Tornadus deserve it ?

[spark pasture]

[shadow burrow]

flowers

[alpine dome]

true

[harsh thicket]

Yozzaaa how long did this take Nov?

[raven timber]

Not a long battle, but the RNG was pretty tight

Flinch the focus blast or gio dies

The more toxic freebie you get, the better

Bar 3 was awful. Regi can't be poisoned so Leaf's gauge was bad and her sync hit like wet noodles

[raven timber]

Latios #8
Fun

[shadow burrow]

imagine having SS Kris

[hard grotto]

🤝

[raven timber]

help me i'm tempted to do the ethan and blue solo on latios

[shadow burrow]

do solo with each instead

[raven timber]

i'm still slightly afraid of evasion solos

but i managed with will and glacia but i'm STILL frightened

[raven timber]

Tornadus #8
In my winning run, SS Brendan got killed by Aerial Ace, Flint tanked the upcoming Air Slash on 1 HP, did not get flinched, Tornadus didn't self cleanse, and Fire Blast didn't miss and killed tornadus. I let out a dramatic gasp

[shadow burrow]

i was close to fail during my run too

[raven timber]

Registeel #8
I'm glad I persevered with this run. Dodge tank ssr cynthia real

[shadow burrow]

nov is catching up

[hard grotto]

you guys are going too fast

[raven timber]

i'm only on win 24 gakon, relax

[raven timber]

Latios #9
Glad i didn't have to remove fast track in favor of vigilance for this

Tornadus #9
My first trio team i tried to duo with just N and Clay but couldn't really make it

[alpine dome]

Stealing11 (SSRCynthia EX, Tech Alakazam duo on Registeel)

[alpine dome]

tech marowak:

[raven timber]

Sure hit hurricane under rain will kill

[frosty plinth]

it's oddly comforting seeing, for lack of a better word, experts struggle with POMA

[raven timber]

i'm glad i can provide comfort

Registeel #9
My skill issue couldn't make Tech Gyara/Nessa work

[raven timber]

Registeel #10
Crying, I hate this clear so much
(Would 100% do it again)

[pure pollen]

This seems like such a wack pairing to a non LG player

Brawly's just there for defense debuffs and Plumeria does some damage?

[raven timber]

brawly was the nuker, plumeria flinches

[pure pollen]

ohh right brawly can nuke

[raven timber]

i've never actually seriously used Plumeria for damage before

wdym she's not a flincher and that's it

[pure pollen]

AoE sludge wave be like

[raven timber]

long LG streaks is basically "take nearly everything you know about teambuilding 101 and throw it out the window"

[pure pollen]

LOL yeah I've noticed

[worn herald]

TIL Plumeria can flinch

[pure pollen]

Same

Had to go look up her kit and found the staggering

[shadow burrow]

She feels like a tech pair

Her gauge is insane too

[raven timber]

she's SO good

...as a gauge-friendly flincher

the bad part is her Smog has low accuracy. even with the +20 accuracy tile, it's still not a 100 accuracy move

took me about 20 silver deluxes to give her PPE2

[shadow burrow]

Only 20? Rookie number

|| ||

[raven timber]

my worst was 30+ cookies for head start on nc bede

which is why I'm not giving him mind games for the registeel solo, no thank you

i'm still trying to find a cheap duo for him

[raven timber]

Latios #10
No Blue solo for me

[raven timber]

Tornadus #10
THUD!!!
I think this was my 2nd try? It's just that one run takes so damn long

[spark pasture]

How long do the solos take in real time

Including the failures I guess

[raven timber]

which one

this bp barry solo?

[spark pasture]

Yeah sure

[raven timber]

i didn't check the time lol. 10 minutes per run maybe?

[spark pasture]

“I didn’t check the time” well if you did, you might feel bad

That sounds about right; 10 mins

A duo would cut the time by 1/3 probably

[raven timber]

so i posted my bp barry solo around half an hour after the blue clear

so...yeah

[spark pasture]

At least you have no midterms…yet

[raven timber]

it's fine, i'm streaking while watching detective pikachu playthroughs

[raven timber]

all the more reason to do a lot of streaks while I can!

i'm at 30 now

[spark pasture]

I’ll be up at 4 or 4:30am tomorrow, so I expect to see them in real time

[shadow burrow]

did he get flinched at all lol

during my run he was close to dying twice because of flinch lol

[raven timber]

In my winning run, once

In the end though i only needed 1 synthesis

Registeel #11
I hate 40% flinchers

[shadow burrow]

thats quite painful

[spark pasture]

[raven timber]

Latios #11
Again my skill issue failed me and I couldn't duo

my first latios trio... feelsbadman

[crude pawn]

@cold wing

[cold wing]

Cynthia grid?

[raven timber]

CS2 lucky skill

Tornadus #11
1/5 N makes me so sad

[rain siren]

So true

[raven timber]

Tornadus #12
I hate this clear so much

Never before have I screamed "fuck you" at Tornadus this many times

[shadow burrow]

Nice

[alpine dome]

specs pls. I never gotten any info about this clear other than:
F L I N C H

[alpine dome]

what does Elesa need? Not gonna do whatever the crap that duo is, however some info from your experience should be useful

[alpine dome]

Stealing (SSRCynthia duo on Registeel - grid, also CS2 LS)

[worn herald]

Tbh I think that's all the info anyone has. LG grinders speak a whole different language

[raven timber]

i just stole the team from Gakon, this is what he used
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=012100075800&s0=5&l0=140&r0=5&p0=0&a0=18090102&t0=1111&g0=AAECAwQFBgcKDRwdHyEiJyg&v1=004300029700&s1=5&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=11111&g1=AAECAwQFBggLDhAjJSksLS4&v2=0

[alpine dome]

Stealing11 (Brawly, Pumeria duo on Registeel - specs)

[raven timber]

TM MPRs would be much appreciated. Gakon did the duo and he said he didn't need TM MPRs at all but I think that's just bullshit 😭

also i kept getting unlucky with noncrits and not paralyzing during crucial moments and such

[alpine dome]

yeah I don't want to have my runs jeproadized at the end by para rng

[shadow burrow]

i guess im the one who stole your duo luck

[raven timber]

Latios #12
Okay this wasn't so bad

[worn herald]

Can Irida not solo Latios?

[shadow burrow]

not at 1/5

[worn herald]

Oh I forgot about move levels

[raven timber]

Registeel #12
Waiting for the day I get 3/5 Phoebe dammit

[worn herald]

Do you have Hoenn tickets?

[raven timber]

Only enough for 1 pull

I get 5/5 Courtney before I get 3/5 Phoebe

[worn herald]

Tbf Courtney is more generally useful than Phoebe

[raven timber]

Idk who to pair her with in this LG

Duo with a Speed buffer on Regi I guess

Defense crush hopium

[shadow burrow]

with double mgr on grid you can partially fix her gauge

tho she would need flinch to duo

[raven timber]

I'll take a look

Latios #13
[Insert trash talk about SS Ethan here]
Jokes aside nah ss ethan was fiiiiine

[raven timber]

Registeel #13
Practicing 2v1 sleepchain

[shadow burrow]

could go more budget with OG Lusamine CBlue having 2 types of attack is very good on Torn

does the team has gauge issue when CBlue has no free move?

[raven timber]

not at all

i saved blue's TMs until mega

but yeah, i could've gone cheaper

but i was having trouble finding a fast and self sufficient damage dealer

with lusamine i was afraid one failed sleep chain would mean she immediately collapses

[shadow burrow]

during my run she only got hit by sync and bar 3 EQ

[raven timber]

And lived?

I think i'll slap Lusamine with lodge dawn on latios or something, cause i don't want to do the solo

Tornadus #13
I think I stole your luck this time, Gakon

[shadow burrow]

[shadow burrow]

she has Endurance, mind you

[raven timber]

Sync bypasses that

[shadow burrow]

it was the first sync on bar 1, it didnt hit that hard

she nuked 24k on the last bar

[low harbor]

Nov how does this work

[raven timber]

save Pinsir's TMs so you can keep getting gradual heals

mine is 4* with vigilance

tanked the heat wave like a champ

Latios #14
I love full health solos

i'm at win 40 over halfway through my goal

[worn herald]

[low harbor]

Support?

[raven timber]

Tech

[low harbor]

Ah

[shadow burrow]

Im gonna speed up my progress!

Nov is coming near

[raven timber]

You're like 20 wins ahead of me

[shadow burrow]

[shadow burrow]

[raven timber]

well you do!

[shadow burrow]

but i gave up on Gardenia solo!

[raven timber]

But you're willing to do more RNG reliant clears, I feel

Big reason why you have a longer win streak

Or you just have a much bigger roster

Registeel #14
I'm starting to get into overkill territory, I think

[shadow burrow]

i believe this is the reason

[alpine dome]

yes you are

[raven timber]

Tornadus #14
LG madmen are gonna come at my throat for this one, I can feel it

I wanted to take advantage of Red's SEUP and Hau is my only electric unit remaining who can't self buff crit and has low paralysis chance

[fleet elbow]

I used RedLax with Nemona lol, using him with Hau is downright conservative in comparison

and yeah with your remaining pairs Hau’s a very reasonable partner for him

[raven timber]

Not sure how hard the Red solo on Tornadus is

I can redeem myself by doing the max investment run in English

(I won't)

[shadow burrow]

[hard grotto]

It is

Hard

[raven timber]

[alpine dome]

OH MY GOD I FOUND IT!!

[alpine dome]

hold on.. what is the move level of your Lucas?

[raven timber]

1/5

[alpine dome]

Stealing11 (Falkner EX, Gladion EX duo on Registeel)

how close was that 1/5 Lucas match?

[alpine dome]

move level?

[alpine dome]

Stealing11 (CRed EX, Hau EX duo on Torn - reference)

[raven timber]

Pretty easy iirc

[raven timber]

Red? 5/5 💀

[alpine dome]

... I was thinking of adding 1/5 HJasmine EX for an easy duo, but now I fear of having to deal with more para rng

Slowly working my way through my streaks again. Progress will be slow

[alpine dome]

would've stole that team if it weren't for raichu

[raven timber]

Just a filler. Any eggmon that can help buff Cyrus so he doesn't have to use his TM is fine

Tornadus #15
I'm bad at using recoil units

[shadow burrow]

nov is back!!!!

[raven timber]

slowly but surely!

Registeel #15
I have skill issue and can't duo Janine is so frail...

[spark pasture]

almost had a theme LG clear

[raven timber]

Tornadus #16
Dear Arceus, the duo was so hard and even with a third unit it was still RNG heavy. A better gear would've immensely helped but for now I just happen to have a pin that boosts physical sync moves by 3%

[icy saffron]

Stealing this, but i just got Redlax today so no EX and just 1/5 so maybe it will be hard

[raven timber]

At 1/5 you'll have to wait before paralyzing because he doesn't have access to antitoxin/max group therapy yet

Weatherless Zinnia is terrible

[pure pollen]

Weatherless Zinnia is terrible

[frosty plinth]

You poor soul

[raven timber]

gah, i think i'm giving up on kgrimsley + hilbert and adding a third

there's very little room for error

[shadow burrow]

i have seen many people using him with Plumeria for duo

thats wasteful imo but sadly thats the ideal use of him unless you do trio with him

[alpine dome]

supp rk9, kgrim ex, tech rapidash:

[raven timber]

Registeel #16
Yeah I have skill issue

[alpine dome]

@raven timber spec for the SSRCynthia duo on Registeel?

[raven timber]

Huh i thought you've noted that down already

[alpine dome]

well I don't have a pomatools link

[raven timber]

ah gotcha, last time i just sent screenshots

[alpine dome]

oh someone else asked alr

tho I don't know the LS of Alakazam or any of its upgrades

[raven timber]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=0&v1=009102048700&s1=3&l1=140&r1=6&p1=0&a1=13010602&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFBhMWGSMlJykqKy0u&v2=006540&s2=1&l2=150&r2=5&p2=0&a2=24010201&t2=11&n2=3&f2=20

alakazam just has fire guard from when i used it against moltres last LG, don't mind it

[alpine dome]

ah so it doesn't matter

well good thing I got PPE2

[raven timber]

that would be better to give you peace of mind, yeah

[alpine dome]

oh holy shit that's a 5 star eggmon

[raven timber]

yeah, the speed helped, though i don't think it's necessary? cynthia generates a lot of gauge whenever she uses shadow force

[alpine dome]

yeah I noticed that inv shadow node

[raven timber]

Registeel #17
After spending about 2 hours doing Maylene + Victrier and failing, I gave up and did something easier

[raven timber]

I wanted to do another Tornadus clear but it's taking far longer than expected so i'll just go to sleep

[raven timber]

Tornadus #17
Win 50, give it up for win 50! Kinda overkill tbh but I'm getting tired at this point

I just need to do this at least 25 more times!

Latios #17
I am not doing the solo 😭 even this was a bit clutch and i got an insane amount of TM MPR. Double Edge didn't miss but Ethan tanked it like a champ!

[shadow burrow]

eww evasion solo

[spark pasture]

[raven timber]

glacia, kali, will evasion solos aren't pretty difficult and i find that it's because they don't need MPRs to raise evasion

with evasion solos relying on MPRs, once i run out of TM MPR luck, it's pretty much over

[spark pasture]

Don’t do evasion solos

[raven timber]

with units that randomly raise their evasion, i can still hold out hope

kali solo was fun!

[spark pasture]

Unless you have all the free time in the world lol

Eh

You can still duo

[raven timber]

I sometimes know my limits!

Registeel #18
As an example, I gave up on the duo I spent 2 hours trying to do yesterday

[spark pasture]

[shadow burrow]

[hard grotto]

Smh overkill

Ngl if using a flincher with Maylene I wouldnt have kept Spectrier

<- did tech seaking + supp starmie

[raven timber]

I'm starting to lose my mind

Tornadus #18
Holy shit this clear was fundamentally simple and quick but I needed the stars to align

[spark pasture]

Honesty just overkill from here on out

[warped kettle]

Is this Maylene DPS 😭

[raven timber]

no?? it's victrier nuke 😭

well, as much of a nuke as he can manage once ghost zone is down and i can't even get unbuffed sync because of regi's DAMN acuity

maylene didn't start doing much until half bar 2 i think, when she started healing decently well with drain punch

tfw no master healer node
