[spark pasture]

I let the hate flow

But usually I don’t comment on LG clears, so you can thank me however you like

[pure pollen]

Great work!

[raven timber]

Then I guess I should thank the haters for their self control for not strangling me in frustration while I torture myself

💖

[raven timber]

Am thinking of a "customer service" CS theme where everyone just looks like they work at a fast food restaurant due to their EXs. I'll have to sort my units manually for that though

[shadow burrow]

quick, pull Pal Candice before she leaves

[raven timber]

She can leave, no worries

[low harbor]

Never doubt the Blaine nuke

[spark pasture]

I have thought of that before but 3k with this region is certainly tough

[worn herald]

This is exactly the type of duo we like to see

[raven timber]

oh yeah i'll definitely wait until the easier regions

[raven timber]

i hope you don't mind seeing that kind of duo once every LG season!

[worn herald]

Not at all

[raven timber]

aight, full teams! can a mod please pin?

One day I'll share my google docs I swear, I just don't like having my google account shown

is there a way to share a doc anonymously

[hard grotto]

create another account

[raven timber]

i'd like to avoid that last resort

[low harbor]

Officially noting not bust

[raven timber]

[alpine dome]

too bad

[raven timber]

My ratio is slightly better than last time

[split lion]

Top 100 nice! Congrats!

[raven timber]

it's not top 100 haha, the threshold is much too high

thanks though!

[split lion]

I though that said your rank at the bottom

Still a 100 streak is crazy to me

[raven timber]

haha, the concept was crazy to me too when LG first came around. I only managed to hit it in the LG before this one

baby steps!

[pure pollen]

It's still crazy to me bestie dw

[raven timber]

you, too, can do it in one hundred simple steps!

[worn herald]

Bestie most of those clears are far from simple

[raven timber]

it can be with your roster

[worn herald]

Tbh I would love to see what you could do with my roster, both as is and with access to all my spare candies

[raven timber]

i too, would love to see what i could do with your roster

gimme

[worn herald]

Here lemme send you my phone rq

[alpine dome]

If you want, I could make a theoretical one with your roster information.

[worn herald]

that would be cool. Remind me in a few hours and I'll compile my current roster

[pure pollen]

You forgot to strike out the simple too

[raven timber]

Hey, some are genuinely simple

[raven timber]

Hmmm this is a hard one

I'll try to break 100 though

not the worst rotation ever but ew genie

wait tapu bulu.... oh i'll have to do the ss erika solo again ( )

[worn herald]

You can use her in a duo!

[raven timber]

no

[worn herald]

Trio it is!

[raven timber]

the only trio that will happen is me, myself, and I

triple eggs let's go

[raven timber]

hmmm, usually I try to do as many duos as I possibly can before turning to trios but idk if I can do as many duos as usual with registeel

or maybe im just not used to registeel yet

[alpine dome]

me with Registeel, Terrakion, and Raikou:

[raven timber]

fr

do i know their basic gimmicks? sure. do i have any experience fighting them with LG in mind? outside of regi, nahhh

[raven timber]

So my plan this LG is to copy my LG11 teams for Regi and Torn, then throw shit at tapu bulu. i managed 90 in LG11 so tackling 105 shouldn't be a problem

https://youtu.be/m50oFHUtcYA?si=ByruNpHCtG8TCAg0

tentative

[raven timber]

I wonder if I should do the Sonia on Torn solo

[hard grotto]

Don't

[shadow burrow]

Do it

[raven timber]

worse than bp barry solo on torn?

i guess it is huh

[hard grotto]

It's worse yes

It's potion mpr gaming

[raven timber]

[raven timber]

Tornadus #1
Starting off LG14 with, as usual, as always:

Registeel #1

[hard grotto]

That was a battle I'll never forget!

[raven timber]

Tapu Bulu #1
Whew this didn't take as many tries as I had feared. Just dodge bro

[hard grotto]

The classic just dodge™️

[raven timber]

I got a skill gear which boosts sync move damage under grassy terrain and one of the themes just so happens to match Blue so that's neat

i got SS Erika, Lodge Serena, and maaaaybe Dawn for faster Bulu solos. the rest will be slow as hell

"maybe" dawn because it depends on how quickly i can get those eagle eye procs

[raven timber]

you know what i dont think this is working lol

Registeel #2
Just gonna do this in the meantime

[hard grotto]

everyone is gaming meanwhile i'm still planning

[raven timber]

unlike some LG madlads who can rush their 100+ streaks in a mere 3 days, I have to streak bit by bit

[raven timber]

please convince me against doing ccalem on regi

[raven timber]

Tapu Bulu #2
First try, wtf??
Get 2 sunny day MPRs, enter bar 3 with a sync, don't miss Solar Blade

Tornadus #2

[raven timber]

Tapu Bulu #3
I haven't had any luck with my Regi solos, so I pecked Bulu to death instead. First try win. Bulu is where all my solo luck is going

[raven timber]

Registeel #3
I got a low damage roll on my winning Close Combat. Regi was at 1% when he giga impacted me. Humiliating. I hate you so much, Riley.

[fleet elbow]

RILEY CAN SOLO REGISTEEL?

[raven timber]

ye

it's very tight tho

[fleet elbow]

That is.
I genuinely need to never hear about this damn LA again, it is making me irrationally salty.

[raven timber]

learned my lesson. if i want to do this solo again and avoid this terrible low damage roll, i'll EXR riley. good rally investment anyway

it was hard enough to get riley to crit his syncs

don't know why he has an aversion to that

[spark pasture]

You’re not hoarding EX materials are you

Role EX*

[raven timber]

nah i use them for rally

recently strike caked mix red

fave reasons

[shadow burrow]

imma try the solo out, i think i have some good gears for him

[raven timber]

It's fast paced, but the RNG is a bit shit

Once you get to bar 2 though it should be free

Unless you get a low damage roll or Riley refuses to crit ahahahahah

Tornadus #3
Anyway, braindead Torn solos are the only Torn solos I do

Tapu Bulu #4
Enough LG for today, time for a break

I'm still salty Riley ruined my full solo streak ugh

And i think I'm throwing in the towel with that Rei solo too

[spark pasture]

Thank goodness you’re not a hoarder

[spark pasture]

You chased that solo, nov

[low harbor]

Sonia solo where

[raven timber]

Not here that's for sure

Potion MPR check

Idk tho, I did solo Uxie and Azelf with Leaf and that was basically the same idea

[lapis orbit]

You at least like Leaf more I think? So it's probably more bearable

[alpine dome]

me b4 Rally:

[hard grotto]

The best way to use cakes

[raven timber]

leaf's more bearable because she has two sources of healing imo

[raven timber]

Registeel #4
Lady luck was so kind to me it was scary. Needed to reset for 1 MPR but that's all. CCalem dodged so many moves, he was at +6 def and sp def by the end of it! It was a comfortable run even though he failed to crit on sync multiple times. I did have to take extra energy for Unflappable just in case

Full HP solos... CCalem you exceeded expectations today

[raven timber]

Tornadus #4
BP Barry solo was being shit so I moved to this first

[raven timber]

BP Barry hit himself in confusion while queueing synthesis this is bullshit

[raven timber]

Tornadus #5
Last time I did this solo I must have gotten super lucky. In my winning run Barry hit himself in confusion 3 times in a row I was starting to lose hope

[spark pasture]

Barry good, nov

[raven timber]

He will be good at the cost of a ridiculous outfit

(the outfit fits him, it's just funny)

Registeel #5
First try babyyyy
Nuke bar 2. DPS bar 3. Silver can take a giga impact, just get early stoic procs. Don't even need that many dodges

Tapu Bulu #5
Tech rolex Dawn, save me tech rolex Dawn

[raven timber]

Tapu Bulu #6
The other Dawn (this one took much longer)

Registeel #6
Welp that's the end of my solo streaks

[hard grotto]

Imagine me, without an EX Dawn

And I need to do that solo

[worn herald]

EX her then

[hard grotto]

Consider the following: No

I kept her non-ex to eventually achieve non-ex dawn bulu solo
Then I did it
But she also got Latios in the meantime

So now I need to do EX less Latios too

[worn herald]

[raven timber]

The Nov who did this and the Nov today is not the same person. Pinsir can't survive the brutal swing spam on bar 2 lol. Did I get some godly para procs or something

I'm now trying to focus my skill gears to Pinsir instead of Sycamore lmfao sycamore doesn't need the gears

Tornadus #6
But, in the meantime
Note to self: Avoid the toxic by not paralyzing and let lyra nuke half bar 1. Erika can tank hurricane spam in the meantime with the help of light screen

[shadow burrow]

[raven timber]

Torn does use rain dance tho to replace sun, so half bar 1 needs to be rushed ASAP

[raven timber]

https://youtu.be/EHYKW2dCXv8?si=FTdv25MGOBIeZWFo keeping this here jic i'm masochistic enough

[raven timber]

#1012311116778586182 message not sure if i want to do this, noting it down jic

[raven timber]

Registeel #7
Holy shit, this worked incredibly well, tysm @haughty pivot for the setup!
Note to self: use TM before first sync. Sync has to skip bar 1. Flinch EQ bar 2, skip hyper beam. Rei can take a flash canon.
Rei can take the EQ bar 3, flinch the rest. Vigilance LS

[raven timber]

Tornadus #7
Gosh, finally
On bar 1, only paralyze if necessary to avoid Pinsir getting hit by too many Air Cutters. Basically just paralyze if you need to heal with Horn Leech. Rush bar 2 so Pinsir doesn't get hit by too many Brutal Swings. Space out Pinsir's TM usage. Between Sycamore's TM and Pinsir's TMs, you get 3 gradual heals that should last you the entire battle

Tapu Bulu #7
Tapu bully solo continues

[haughty pivot]

Imma take this one, any particular things to keep in mind?

[raven timber]

Uhh stall bar 1 and 2, only leech life if necessary. Rush bar 3, if you get hit by that +6 attack hammer, it's over

Defense crush LS

[lapis orbit]

What's the grid you used?

[lapis orbit]

Thanks

[split lion]

any tips for this clear? i think 2 tm mprs and early dc2 procs are mandatory? im gonna try again later but if i cant get it, any recommendations on a 2nd pair?

made it to bar 2 twice. but Riley was 140 EX so regi survived with 10% hp. Ive leveled Riley to 150 now.

[raven timber]

I think 1 TM MPR is enough

And yes, early DC2 procs is mandatory. You want regi to be at -6 def when you nuke bar 2

You can't OHKO regi with riley's nuke, you have to immediately queue a close combat which has to clear that bar

[split lion]

im having guage issues if i dont have a tm post first sync

[raven timber]

i didn't really get gauge issues at all

Did you follow the solo grid?

[split lion]

yeah sync + close combat and regi was left with 10% but Riley was lvl 140 so maybe thats why

[split lion]

ill check again, maybe i gridded something incorrectly

[raven timber]

probably a low damage roll then. 1 sync + 1 close combat should be enough to OHKO bar 2. 1 max move + 1 close combat for bar 3

as long as regi's at -6 def

Registeel #8

[split lion]

alright ty

if possible can you share your Riley grid just in case something is different?

[raven timber]

[raven timber]

Tapu Bulu #8
Eve solo isn't going well, so!

[raven timber]

man how did I get so lucky last time

Tornadus #8
FINALLY
In my winning run Tornadus kept self cleansing, Liza died after too many hurricane spam since Oak wouldn't paralyze, Oak had to tank for almost the rest of second half of bar 3, he failed to paralyze and even hit himself in confusion a few times, this run was stressful af, I didn't remember struggling this much when I did it last time

[shadow burrow]

You tanked with Liza???

[raven timber]

That's how I did it last time too, though it seems like tanking with Oak and resetting for eva buffs would be the more ideal play

How do you deal with toxic if you tank with oak tho just Dodge ™️ it?

[icy saffron]

You cant dodge it

It is Toxic with Troublemaker 9

Para can help

[fluid wave]

troublemaker caps at 100% acc before doing acc/eva checks (i think, i just know you can dodge cress also troublemaker 9 toxic/thunder wave)

oak has eva so you can dodge it

[shadow burrow]

Yeah in that duo Oak should be tanking

Even on other stages

[raven timber]

Yeah you're right, troublemaker makes it cap at 100 accuracy

[raven timber]

Tapu Bulu #9
Win 25, officially a quarter to 100 (gotta celebrate small milestones so I don't go crazy)

This is much easier with EX hot damn, Shauna suddenly tanks the energy balls a lot better

[raven timber]

Tornadus #9
I want to cry
Once again I can't do the solo. even this was very tight

[shadow burrow]

Cry louder

|| ||

[raven timber]

Someday I will succeed

Third time's the charm they say

[lapis orbit]

Hope you do

[raven timber]

This PalVictor solo on Regi is more annoying than I expected

If I run out of healing on bar 3 i'm kinda toast

[split lion]

Did you use Liza to tank? And what's the main thing I should focus on for this run, keeping Tornadus paralyzed? Do I need to look out for any moves?

[raven timber]

The ideal strat is to tank with Oak and fish for eva buffs from his TM

Sync with Oak first, spam Thunder (grid for HE1), sync with Liza for synchro healing for the rest

[split lion]

Seems pretty straight forward

Which LS on both?

Nvm it was in the repository

Ty Nov

[raven timber]

Registeel #9
If I had a tech cake coin for every time I tech cake'd a support for an LG solo, I would've had 2 tech cake coins. Which isn't a lot, but it makes up 5% of the resources I've spent on these units

Spent half an hour doing this without rolex, decided to rolex Victor and won first try

[icy saffron]

+1 battle rally

[hard grotto]

the ex role helps so much here

and yeah, more rally points

[raven timber]

I finally have 3 tech + support pairs!

Tornadus #10
People who do the Elesa solo is a whole different breed damn, I could never

[warped kettle]

the fact that a base Elesa solo exists frightens me

[raven timber]

TM MPR check, they said

[hard grotto]

the fact that it doesn't run hostile environment on top of that

[raven timber]

Tapu Bulu #10

EX Wallace for the glorious music and outfit so true!

LG fan yet you hoard EX resources for an extra clear? Fake fan

[spark pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/doja-cat-star-wars-gif-25078126

[raven timber]

Look I only have enough to EX like, 10 units and I'm only about 30% done with my streaks okay i gotta pick and choose

[spark pasture]

I have never needed to EX 10 units for an event

The most was 6 for a HS event

I don’t think you’ll need to EX 10 tbh

[hard grotto]

last lg i think i ex'd like 15

or maybe it was lg 11

[spark pasture]

Yeah but nov seems stingier on the resources lol

[hard grotto]

right now i can't ex a single unit

[spark pasture]

And besides it’s 2 weeks and 90 more power up tickets

Mael you’re also more insane than nov and Gakon on LG

[hard grotto]

eh maybe

rn i'm going super slow because using all normal types isn't easy

[spark pasture]

[raven timber]

That's true

But you never know

[shadow burrow]

me mentioned

[raven timber]

Tapu Bulu #11
All my solo luck is funneled towards Bulu solos. In my winning run, Caitlin got so many MPRs that she was at +6 def and sp def and still had 1 TM remaining

[hard grotto]

in case of energy ball drop

in case of zhb flinch so you have something to queue

[raven timber]

So true!

Thankfully in my winning run I didn't get flinched at all

[raven timber]

Tornadus #11

I'm still hesitant whether I want to do the BP Clemont solo or not

[spark pasture]

Don’t do it

[raven timber]

[spark pasture]

[shadow burrow]

Do it for Tai

[raven timber]

Registeel #11
cNate on Regi is killing me, so!

Kiawe needs a powerboost so I don't keep constantly getting disappointed in him damn

[raven timber]

This Sawyer Volo team is so interesting but ughhh

Maybe I'll move to Bulu first

[raven timber]

Tapu Bulu #12
Broke my Bulu solo streak I still don't know if I want to try the Nate solo, the Eve solo is incredibly disgusting, the Mallow solo requires EX which I don't have

[spark pasture]

Well, good news is that you have EX resources

[raven timber]

Tempting!

[spark pasture]

And of course it’s anni Steven who needed the help

[raven timber]

But!

Ughhhh

[raven timber]

Man can't solo okay, give him a break

[spark pasture]

Stop hoarding nov and just use it

For the memes!!

[raven timber]

(at least, i think he can't)

[spark pasture]

Go go go

[raven timber]

I wouldn't be surprised if Anni Steven actually solos Bulu with the power of skill gears

[spark pasture]

Anni Steven cannot solo for me either

[raven timber]

Maybe with EXR if he gets a good one

[spark pasture]

So no worries

[spark pasture]

In before Support EX role

[raven timber]

At least that's a reason to make him sync

[spark pasture]

Yeah but it’s still a shit sync

[raven timber]

That will make him a nice pseudo tank too

[spark pasture]

If you’re still hoarding for LG, you’re not gonna use those resources for CS or HS or BR

[raven timber]

I barely use resources for HS and CS anyway

And my BR investment is just LG investment in the form of caked units

[spark pasture]

Thus proving my point lol

I go ham with EX units for HS

[raven timber]

I gotta pick and choose my investments because I only have so much, okay

[spark pasture]

you can afford to EX one

[raven timber]

Shush!

Somehow I'm a bit behind schedule i'm supposed to do 5 clears per day so I should be at 35 wins

But i'm currently only at 34 despite doing more than 5 clears per day usually. Though today I could only do 4

Math isn't mathing rn and it's 1 am, i'm going to bed

Registeel #12
Yeesh, finally

[warped kettle]

Okay I want to know about this one lmao

Tricky?

[spark pasture]

should prob ask for the move levels (if it matters lol)

[raven timber]

1/5 Volo, EX basically for stats and speed. I don't sync with him until the very end lol

The more flinches you get, the better

Keep synchro healing with sawyer, take sync cure so paralysis isn't a problem

Use circle on bars 2 and 3

I use volo's unfortuitous lucky skill for this

Also it'd be nice if you could roll the stat reduction defense shield when you use metronome, so sawyer doesn't get his speed debuffed

In my winning run I got very, VERY lucky and managed to debuff registeel enough so that he had no defense and sp def buffs at all. Then metronome landed some physical move while I had quite a bit of PMUN stacks. He deleted half a bar 😭

This man is so funny

[warped kettle]

Thank you, I shall try this....maybe

I couldn't quite get the clear without para

[hard grotto]

I've seen this one somewhere else before

[raven timber]

you sure have

i feel like i could've gone cheaper with tech gengar who's dark-weak. oh well

[shadow burrow]

Tech Gengar can't inflict paralysis iirc

[hard grotto]

supp can

[raven timber]

oh it's support? right right

i just know it's a gengar

i hate how a lot of torn counters are dark weak ugh

[hard grotto]

not as bad as venomoth being flying weak

[raven timber]

pinsir too 💀

oh wait no pinsir is weak to fire

[split lion]

Can L Dawn survive bar 3 wood hammer or do I need to dodge all of them?

or maybe i need to go into bar 3 with full health?

[raven timber]

she can survive the one at +3 attack

she can't survive the one at +6

[raven timber]

yes either way

wait until bulu uses a move on bar 2 before immediately killing it

that way bulu needs to fill up gauge for bar 3 wood hammer

give you enough time to use a couple of moves for the sync buffs

[split lion]

Gotcha thanks

[split lion]

Died to seed bomb crit on bar 3 after dodging +6 Hammer

Literally went from 100% to dead :((

[raven timber]

Yeah, the LDawn solo is slow and can end in bar 3

Tapu Bulu #13
No way, another Bulu solo thanks @warm mango

Nov, 1 rotation after she ended her Bulu solo streak:

Registeel #13
I want to cry. Half the battle is trying to instaqueue Nate's move before Regi gets to EQ. Skill issue? Phone issue? I don't even know anymore man

Instaqueue moves on bar entry should be illegal. Regi where is your gauge. Your gauges don't grow on trees

[warm mango]

Was it as scary as you thought

[alpine dome]

move level + eggmon role?

[raven timber]

3/5 EXR, supp pidgeot

Pidgeot was for flinches because I got too tired. But any eggmon that can take a few hits will suffice. Since the solo is absolute shit

[raven timber]

Apparently not!

Tornadus #13
All my LG luck is funneled towards Bulu, so Torn and Regi bully me. I kept failing my Victor + Rachel clear so I decided to just do this

[alpine dome]

Nothing a 3rd can’t fix

[warped kettle]

Painful or doable?

[spark pasture]

Painfully doable

[raven timber]

Doable imo

It's just very slow, don't rush clicking your moves

Since you want power flux on giga drain

[fluid wave]

And if you are high on gauge and health fish for some sp.def drops with energy ball

[raven timber]

#1012311116778586182 message screw ss gladion on regi, this is much more interesting

[split lion]

how difficult is the solo? and any suggestions for who to add for duo?

also I think my Rosa is 2/5

[raven timber]

Iirc the solo doc has one for 2/5 as well

It's not difficult, it's just slow

Dark explained the process very well in the solo vid

If you want to add a duo ig you can add a defense buffer. So Rosa can keep Vigilance. Tank with that 2nd unit first, let it die after buffing Rosa

Bcs for this solo she needs stoic

[split lion]

I'll check out Dark's solo ty! and maybe add a defense buffing eggmon

[raven timber]

Yeah, stoic can be hard to get if you don't have a lot of 2* cookies

You have to grind them in training area or wait for bonanza

BV co-op used to be my source of 2* cookies, rip BV co-op, people hated on you but I never did

[split lion]

I'm really low on 2 star cookies so will just add eggmon

[raven timber]

@warped kettle

[raven timber]

Registeel #14
Another! Regi! Solo!

After checking my spreadsheet, this is the most solos I've done in a single rotation yet

[raven timber]

Tornadus #14
HOOOOLY SHIT this is insane
Note to self: wait until torn uses rain dance before silver syncs to remove rain. Bmove right after to flinch. The second bmove should also flinch (and by this point, torn is at the 2nd half of bar 1). Kill bar 1 before torn unflinches. Don't get confused, you want quick cure to break by bar 3's swagger. The more hurricanes you can dodge, the better, so I prefer resetting to avoid the first hurricane at least

Bar 2, don't let torn sync at all

Bar 3, use circle to tank heat wave. rush the syncs since your damage will only come from bmove.

Overall strategy: Always have sand up

In my winning run, silver hit himself in confusion when he was about to use his winning bmove 😭 but torn eventually died from sandstorm recoil of all things

Grid: https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=014140&s0=1&l0=150&r0=5&p0=0&a0=18040702&t0=44&n0=3&f0=20&v1=013303024802&s1=2&l1=150&r1=6&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=44444&x1=true&g1=AAECAwQFBgcIERQXGBkcHSAhKCs&v2=0

@split lion have you used up your NC Silver? I did say he's better on Regi but he can do Torn given a sandstorm eggmon

Used him up on Regi with a screech eggmon. And I didn't have sandstorm eggmon either so it's okay.

People who do the Brendan solo y'all are stronger than me
I accidentally clicked bullet seed instead of sync on bar 3 opening. Fortunately it flinched the wood hammer
Grass Guard brendan. Aim for a flinch or two on bar 1, then another flinch on bar 2. Nuke bar 3

[raven timber]

I want to do a bit more clears but i'm much too sleepy

Only did 3 clears today but i'm ahead of schedule, I knew my math wasn't mathing the other day when I thought I was behind

Hey you still clearing this, great work btw

I’m just too lazy to do this

Bc the game just crash when i try to open leaderboard

[raven timber]

Don't open leaderboard

Dena wants to prevent us from copying other people's clears so bad lol

First the successful teams bug, now this

@raven timber How time consuming is the Leaf solo? Debating on whether to do it.

[alpine dome]

Stealing14 (Tech Kabutops, 2/5 NCSilver EXR duo on Torn)

[raven timber]

Not too long. Mind games LS helped a lot. The leaf solo on uxie took way longer

#1012311116778586182 message keeping this here

[raven timber]

Mine was 3/5 EXR but i just used the 2/5 grid

[alpine dome]

Mind games?.... oh wait Iron Tail has innate def debuffs... ah.

[warped kettle]

might finally EX my Leaf to do this

[raven timber]

Her bulk really helps her with a lot of solos

[warped kettle]

Checked the sheet and will definitely be following your lead with MG2 LS

Hopefully that makes a big difference

[raven timber]

With how much she spams tackle, regi will be at -6 sp def in no time

It was harder to debuff his defense LOL

It's fine if she gets paralyzed too, but you can pick up friend mend and sacrifice a potion MPR tile. I found that she didn't need too many potions. Recuperation was enough

[fluid wave]

I ran def crush for that

both MPR tiles no mgr

And mindlessly clicked tackle 80 times till I had crossed bar 1.5

[warped kettle]

I will be doing this bc I got DC2 early and didn't want to use all my cookies fishing for MG2 lmfao

Is there something about crossing 1.5 I should be careful of?

[raven timber]

The solo doc says to flinch before you cross half bar but I didn't and it was fine. Leaf has impervious after all

It's just that with sp def being raised, focus blast will hurt a lot

[raven timber]

I hope you know mind games is only from deluxe cookies

[hard grotto]

I did DC2 ls

Spammed Tackle to death, only used Iron tail a few times

[warped kettle]

Ye I know that's why I didn't want to waste them

[hard grotto]

Like once or twice per cycle, when I had the gauge

[raven timber]

I alternate between the two

[hard grotto]

I didnt run MGR9

So I didnt have the gauge

Ran friend mend instead to heal the para

[warped kettle]

[hard grotto]

I got the run first try

Had maybe 1 or 2 potion mprs but with 2 mpr it's the least you can expect, and besides I finishes with too much health to spare

[raven timber]

Yeah, either strat will make you win without needing many potions anyway

Distinguished guests, if you look to your left, you will see Nov doing an overkill team. This is a common habit that she exhibits when she starts to get fucking tired

Bea nuked over half bar 2 without having 4 gauges ready for Meteor Assault. I thought I was screwed, but Regi... Didn't instaqueue Hyper Beam the way he usually does. He even waited until I got 4 gauges for Meteor Assault so I could skip bar 2. I wonder what happened

[hard grotto]

probably not enough gauge

[raven timber]

I thought the hyper beam was the same sort of instaqueue bullshit as the opening EQ

I guess not. I did let myself get hit by the EQ

[hard grotto]

nah regi only has instaqueue with entry earthquake

[raven timber]

Good to know

[raven timber]

Tornadus #15
Dang, this is easier than Cheryl + Ghetsis
Aim for 1 TM MPR on Marley. Use the 2nd one before entering bar 3 so you don't get burned by heat wave. Team hit and heal will also help survivability

[hard grotto]

actually easier?

i feel like cheryl is already super easy unless you get no fast track... at all

[raven timber]

Very

At least marley doesn't crumble to any physical moves

And literally 2 gradual healing is all you need

Tapu Bulu #15
Good ol' crobat

[hard grotto]

sounds like someone isn't tanking with ghetsis

[raven timber]

I sure don't!

[hard grotto]

in all ghetsis cheryl duos i tank with ghetsis

[raven timber]

[split lion]

You recommend doing this one? Or is it too much RNG involved?

[raven timber]

I would recommend, yeah

She lives forever basically

Lucky skill makes the run much easier. Either defense crush or mind games

[fluid wave]

as for the grids i ran this for dc2

and i think mg2 runs mgr9 but idk what it cuts for it

[split lion]

Thanks so much Nov and Gnolte

[split lion]

Mind games 2 not needed then?

[fluid wave]

either mind games or defense crush as nov said

[split lion]

Gotcha thanks!!

Since it's a long fight I suppose early DC2 procs are good but not necessary as they are with squishier pairs right?

[fluid wave]

bar 1 before the half bar it's pretty safe

she has impervious for rock tomb and doesn't mind para, so it's just low bp moves

so you just spam tackle till bar 1.5 which is pretty long, so ye early procs aren't necessary

[split lion]

Understood

Gonna try rn

[raven timber]

I dropped friend mend. You can afford the para

Registeel #16
The RNG hell is fucking bullshit. I had to deal with so many 30%. 30% to get TM MPR. 30% to flinch. 30% to proc fast track on Marshal since he's slow af. 30% to proc mind games (mind games!!!) on Torchic because I got tired of trying to flinch Iron Defense. 30% for body slam to paralyze and end my run. 30% for iron head to flinch and end my run.

Verdict: 3 out of 10. Not recommended. Disgusting. Horrible. Gross.

[warped kettle]

I can't believe you even attempted that 😭

[warped kettle]

Pls teach me about your bats, either need EX?

[raven timber]

Last time I did it without EX, so no

[warped kettle]

[raven timber]

The trick is not to pass half bar 1 so Bulu doesn't gain +2 accuracy

[warped kettle]

Chuckles I'm in danger

[raven timber]

Koga is very frail, he can tank the first sync + 2 brutal swings but that leaves him in the red

Venom drench for -6 sp def, don't forget to poison before every sync

[warped kettle]

[raven timber]

I'd been trying since last night 😭

[warped kettle]

You are one of LG's strongest soldiers

[raven timber]

I think you can afford DPSing bar 2. Enter bar 3 ready to sync

[raven timber]

Oh no i don't deserve this title

[warped kettle]

How high are you aiming this time around?

[raven timber]

I always want to break my old personal best, which is 105

LG11 was very similar to LG14 and I landed at 90 so surely I can do it

It's nice being able to glance at my Lg11 clears (which were pretty optimized for my current standard) and just copy and improve

The past few LGs were duplicates of much older ones, back when I wasn't seriously tryharding

So i couldn't copy my own homework

[warped kettle]

Oh 🤝 again, LG11 was baby's first tryhard for me (50) so I'm hoping this one can be my first 100

I'm sure you'll be able to crack 106+ 😌

[raven timber]

Baby's first tryhard and it was a brand new LA boss

[raven timber]

Tornadus #16
Whew, this was pretty easy. Flinch before Soph syncs. Sync has to delete the bar so Torn doesn't gain Unflappable. Cynthia EX is probably needed to guarantee you oneshot the bar. Cynthia spams rock tomb to set up Cakewalk

[icy saffron]

Do you need 5 star Soph bc mine is only 4 star ?

[raven timber]

Mine's 5*

Ig you can try 4*? It's the EX Cynthia that's essential imo

Tapu Bulu #16

Ofc

I will do trio

Win 50! Tank with Vigilance on Lucian, standard nuke grid. If you can get a TM MPR, use it later for gradual healing.

I tried with Vigilance Tate at first but I realized Defense Crush is better and makes the run incredibly easier

Lucian is so good man. What is this unit. We don't deserve him

[raven timber]

just checked my last two LG runs. I didn't dip into trios until win 60ish. man, how did I do that

Insane flinch game. Basically fish for def debuffs so your nuke deals the most damage. And of course, make sure Regi is confused (gobsmack 4 is a lie). I had to give Bede fast track so gauge didn't suffer. 5* persian with Vigilance, though 4* should still be enough

[raven timber]

GGs! Sync Regen the goat
5* Electrode (4* is enough), Vigilance on both (the amount of Vigilance I've had to give is concerning)
Don't let electrode get hit by too many AOEs. Delay the air cutter and hope for Hurricane to miss. Gladion can take 1 Hurricane, but not 2 since he won't be able to heal back up in time. Bar 2 is especially dangerous for Electrode since Brutal Swing hurts. Use B-move on bar 1 and bar 3

[raven timber]

Man I've been at this Elio Korrina clear for almost an hour

Just land all your Sing they said

[worn herald]

Bring Lillie to boost accuracy!

[warped kettle]

ah that's a great duo

[icy saffron]

Do Elio Lillie

[warped kettle]

(that i stole from Mael)

[worn herald]

Elio + Lillie + Korrina

[icy saffron]

But i dont think the gauge is good

[raven timber]

OG Lillie? She can also debuff defenses albeit unreliably so it feels wasted

I know I can do it, I just need to land my Sing 😭

Once I reach win 60 i'm allowing myself trios, gah

Just 5 more...

[worn herald]

I thought you were allowing trios after 50

[raven timber]

Change of plans

[worn herald]

[icy saffron]

Korrina need like 11 Sync buff to barely kill Regi with Sync+Close Combat

[worn herald]

[icy saffron]

Hey you can tank so it isn’t that problem

Unless you have DC2 or MG2 then you cant let Regi use Iron Defense

[raven timber]

the fuck

[fluid wave]

i think i have mg2 korrina from like 3 lg ago

[icy saffron]

That for oneshot Regi

You can tank bar 3

[raven timber]

So you absolutely can't let Regi move at all? Wow yeah this is terrible

[icy saffron]

Yeah, my cookie is

[raven timber]

Let me just Vigilance my Korrina before I attempt this again

[warped kettle]

lemme check which LS she had when i did it

[raven timber]

I fumble my sleepchain sometimes too

I understand the pattern but sometimes Regi just isn't cooperating

Trying the sleepchain again and sometimes elio's propelling move triggers Regi to queue :/

I'm so confused lol

[raven timber]

NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER WHAT?!!!!

I was THIS close to giving up

Elio got killed by the bar 3 iron head, korrina two shotted the bar with close combat

I eventually synced with Korrina to skip half bar 1 because I didn't want to fumble my sleepchain again

All my sleepchain experience with Azelf last LG, poof

yeah i still haven't done a CyruSS solo for that reason i know i should but hurgh

[raven timber]

A sleeper solo scares me

[warped kettle]

it's not fun!

(implying LG is fun in general)

[raven timber]

LG is fun once you succeed

For example, right now I'm on cloud nine after completing the Elio Korrina duo

(i'm gonna do another sleepchain after this 💀 )

the highs are high and the lows are low

[hard grotto]

You ignore weather changes?

[raven timber]

Yes

Currently doing the LSycamore Agatha duo on Bulu and i'm struggling trying to time my hypnosis during bar changes ❤️

Bulu should immediately recover from sleep for the first move right

[raven timber]

Yeah, right now i'm failing because i can't time the hypnosis to deny seed bomb and wood hammer

[shadow burrow]

You have to queue Hypnosis immediately after the first one hits at the start of each bar

Every LG boss has this strange mechanic of recovering from sleep and flinch faster at that moment

[fluid wave]

Queueing the chaining move with the other pair also works

[warped kettle]

I love that this has been discovered

[raven timber]

Tapu Bulu #19
By the second half of bar 3 I neglected all pattern and spammed Leaf Storm

[raven timber]

How people first discovered the proper sleepchain pattern and enabler is beyond me

[raven timber]

Yeah I settled with this

Hypnosis, chain move, immediately hypnosis

At least with half bar transition, bulu recovers naturally and I don't have to switch my pattern

[shadow burrow]

It's even more easier with HP percentage now

[raven timber]

I can't believe it took them over 4 years to come up with this

Try to flinch the first brutal swing while you set up Karen's nuke. Aim for 1 TM MPR on Victor. Maintain Victor's health carefully, he needs to be at above 50% HP to tank bar 2 Seed Bomb.

I now have a slight clue how the gauges work (bad, it was bad, pray for drake TM MPRs so you can reliably spam Techno Blast) but I don't have the willpower anymore so! Dewgong fix!

If I did this duo in the first few days of LG I would have more energy for it and actually persevered but ehhh

#1012311116778586182 message archiving this, time to experience the worst lag known to man using Irida!

Tapu Bulu #26
My game didn't... Lag? At all? Even with weather + terrain + zone?? While I was listening to an audiobook in another app? What???

Hail from candice, then TM 3 times. Use irida's bmove bar 1. The more dodges you get the better. Candice took quite a bit of damage from seed bomb and she couldn't dodge the wood hammer but that's fine, you can delete bar 3 with 1 irida sync and 2 icy winds

Regirock #26
I was so close to giving up but whooo I'm glad I did it. Mind Games on Glaceon is probably needed. I won on 1% but Regi was only at -1 sp def at the end, so if you can debuff it more, it'll be easier

I HATCHED A TECH BULBASAUR FINALLY

ANOTHER SLEEPER LET'S GOOOO

Bad gauge and accuracy but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it

[raven timber]

Tornadus #27
Haha guess who EX'd her 1/5 CElesa because she was sick and tired of dealing with 50% crit chance. @azure moon this one's for you

This was definitely overkill. If EX, CElesa can have a non crit buffing egg

[warped kettle]

lmao I did the exact same thing 😭

(EX'd my 1/5 CElesa)

i blame ZEEN

YEAHHH BAYBEE THATS WHAT I LIKE TO SEE YEAHHHH MORE PEOPLE EXING THE QUEEN

[raven timber]

The "helper suffering in LG" hivemind

At least you still have hundreds of

I have 60

CElesa's definitely a unit I want to candy, I think

[warped kettle]

my have been drained so bad

[raven timber]

How many do you have? I'm at 44

[warped kettle]

...i won't say

[raven timber]

I traded some BP vouchers on 4* pairs I have at 5/5 already so I can get can you believe it

[warped kettle]

NOV OMFG 😭

[raven timber]

Okay ig we're just as miserable

[raven timber]

I do this with lodge copies too!

[warped kettle]

no it's more my number might make you miserable

[raven timber]

Candy them to 5/5, then exchange their copies

[hard grotto]

you have 60? I have none

Like, literally 0

[raven timber]

OH GET OUT

[warped kettle]

🚶‍♂️

[raven timber]

Now this is more like it

[hard grotto]

I have 13

and about 100~150

[raven timber]

I have 700ish

So I have enough for 3 more EXs or so

[spark pasture]

you could go 5/15 tho

[raven timber]

Oh right, so with 5/15 I can do 4 more EXs

[spark pasture]

[raven timber]

Math is amazing

[raven timber]

Regirock #27
Mannnn I just can't make the Phoebe/MR duo work. Wow this team is exoensive! Revise in the next LG pls

Tapu Bulu #27
Playing Darach without crit hurts. Having to bank on DC2 hurts. At least this man tanks the Wood Hammer well
In the future I'll have to actually do the duo

At win 81 rn, top 500 is win 84 atm

[alpine dome]

@raven timber eggalakazam LS? seems like I'm too slow

[warm mango]

You did it

[worn herald]

Do you want me to give you some

[alpine dome]

@raven timber

[worn herald]

Bestie she might be sleeping or busy, give her some time

[alpine dome]

omg I need that Infernape+BPbird duo pls come bacckckkckcckkkkkkk

[spark pasture]

Yeah she isn’t based in NA

[raven timber]

uhhh let me check

[raven timber]

please

[raven timber]

it's just the BP Falkner solo with less stress. tank with Flint first, bank on Agile Entry. Grid for endurance and speedy entry, everything else is whatever. if he dies no biggie, solo from there

Mine's EX but you can definitely do without. Crit strike 2 LS

[raven timber]

fast track

ssrc had CS2

[worn herald]

I think I have like 1000

[raven timber]

donate to the poor

[worn herald]

I would if I could I could even give you some and , though I don't have as many as Tai

We've entered the territory of Nov going "random bullshit go"! Beyond this point I don't think there's anything worth stealing. 4* LRaihan can't tank for shit

Registeel #28
I exchanged for 2/5 Mesprit. Damn she's GOOD. Green alien for moral support (also defense crush LS because I can. Definitely not needed)

Tapu Bulu #28
Ewww Eagle Eye Zinnia

Aero was just an extra body to help buff defense

[warped kettle]

mood, i'm over here like "imma post my clears but please do not perceive them"

[raven timber]

The Nov in the first week of LG and Nov in the last week of LG are two completely different people

Tornadus #29
This is like the easiest Torn bruteforce clear I've done. It feels a waste using 3/5 EXR SS Dawn like this tbh but oh well. Who else is gonna carry Petrel? (Probably Skyla but I'm saving her for another bruteforce lol)

[raven timber]

Regirock #29
40% flinch duo is terrible, do not

[warped kettle]

fr i scrolled through all my first week solos like "who....was this......"

we were so young and full of hope. fools

[raven timber]

I'm always like this lol

Do the tight solos and duos first

Once you get tired you will thank your past self for saving many units that will help you do trios for your last push

[warped kettle]

god, fr

you should see how overkill some of my final 10 teams are like i have SS Morty and SS Erika on Bulu for gods sake

Clears 1 to 10 Tai SCREAMING

[raven timber]

I like to end my streak with SS Morty + Silver. The Overkill ™️

I'm gonna make it a tradition lol

(maybe)

[raven timber]

I still look through my past LG clears and think "how did I have the strength for this"

Was I possessed by some LG top ranker for that one clear??

[warped kettle]

we deserve an easy run to the finish after all this suffering!!!

[fluid wave]

Same

Part of the reason why I post my clears in batches of 20

They're either stealing™

Teams I'm not confident if they're good

Or lower investment of solos I've already posted
So nothing that interesting

[raven timber]

So. All this time I tried to defend Nate's kit by saying "his nuke is fine, he has Inertia at least"

Only to learn he has absolutely zero way of buffing speed??????

And he's SO FUCKING FRAIL too

You either solo with him or have some godtier carry because holy shit

[fluid wave]

He does have aerial ace ft4

In non bulu/latios LG you can prob use him as premium meatshield I guess

[raven timber]

Oooh thank God I missed something

[raven timber]

Tapu Bulu #29
Mmm LSkyla Roark wasn't working. 4* Skyla wasn't bulky enough. I did get to bar 3 once, almost nuked the entire bar, but lost because Brave Bird missed due to +1 evasion 😭 future Nov please revise this team in the future

87 wins.... 18 more to match my PB... Regi is walling me rn damn

[warped kettle]

Regi fucking sucks fr

[hard grotto]

i won't allow you to say that when tornadus is right there

[worn herald]

They can both suck

[spark pasture]

[alpine dome]

Stealing14 (TLRaihan, CBlue EX, Whitney on Torn - casual clear)

[alpine dome]

Stealing14 (1/5 Regirock, Kris EX, Tech Onix on RSteel - easier clear, casual clear)

[raven timber]

oddly enough I have more teams planned for torn

[warped kettle]

Same

I have guaranteed paralysers for all my remaining Torn clears, plus a few solid on-type units

Registeel I'm building each clear from nothing at least I have the last two planned with my two SpDef debuffers (Pal Dawn and V Thorton)

But my god the dumb metal thing is annoying af

[raven timber]

i still have Victor to bruteforce, I'm planning to end my streaks with the ho-oh duo there, I still have many paralyzers left

regi though? yikes

[warped kettle]

Regi so cringe

[raven timber]

i'm probably out of sp def debuffers at this point

let me look at my shadow ball OaR users

what if i just move helena to regi ffs

[warped kettle]

I'm preparing myself emotionally to have my silver pink cookies hit 0 from all the DC/MG I might need

[raven timber]

i've dipped to 800 silver crunchies, this is terrifying

[warped kettle]

Need to finish ASAP to start grinding LOL

[raven timber]

can't even grind the silver ones in LG

🚮

#1042081299881541692 message urk i'm almost out of regi ideas

[warped kettle]

Sand? I've got two sand teams I'm going to try tonight

Have you used Acerola and Kukui already?

[raven timber]

neither

i was looking at acerola + naomi

[warped kettle]

Yeah Naomi can debuff (in theory....)

[raven timber]

Registeel #30
Note to self: the 2 wallys can duo with MG2 and DC2 respectively. Wally failed to crit his final 2 syncs but it was overall a comfy run

I'm trying the Eve + 1/5 raihan duo. It's uh. Doable. Nov during the first week of LG would persevere. But do I want to 😭

[warped kettle]

a mood

[raven timber]

Wow this run is shit ❤️

[shadow burrow]

*Eve is shit

~~Mael will come to front door at 12 pm ~~

[raven timber]

Tapu Bulu #30
No you're right, Eve is shit. Future Nov please do the duo. Flinching the first energy ball is half the battle

[spark pasture]

Three sync pair clears!!!

[raven timber]

You're kinda late to celebrating my foray into trios

[spark pasture]

I mean, I am like half a day behind you with time zones

And last few days I literally crashed into bed after work lol

[raven timber]

Tornadus #30
Potions and a dream. Potion after every hurricane. Max move bar 1. If you can get through bar 1 with at least 1 potion remaining, you're good.

Registeel #31
Bruno is so bad oh my gosh. He and hitmonchan died from bar 3 EQ so Maylene solo'd from then on

Tornadus #31
Gauge was shit! But at least the nuke was funny

[warped kettle]

ooh ty for reminding me i need to grab BP Soph

[raven timber]

Tapu Bulu #31
So I was doing so well, taking 0 damage until in the middle of bar 3 Bulu decided to wake up out of nowhere because he wanted to use Wood Hammer a bit early. Oh well, Serena nuked the bar critless still

(siebold was tanking, he's the one with the healing. At 5* he can tank a crit seed bomb from full HP in case you mess up)

[warped kettle]

good unit!!

[raven timber]

I'm trying Melony + Clay and wow gauge is shit

Nevermind

#1012311116778586182 message sleepchain enablers

[raven timber]

Tapu Bulu #32
Oh well

Regirock #32
This was a team I also did on LG11 I think. Not very optimal but comfy enough, if only Mina wanted to crit her syncs

Tornadus #32
Lucas was only a Clair support, he didn't carry the battle, nope!
(Don't paralyze half bar 1 to avoid Toxic. Kris can tank Hurricanes.)

Regirock #33
I wanted to do Burgh + Will, but Thunderbolt hurts

I can count on future Nov to do the duo in the future

[warped kettle]

nov on the speedrun!!

[raven timber]

Idk how much I can do tomorrow, hopefully I can do 1 or 2 more tonight

[raven timber]

Tapu Bulu #33
Whew
Rotate between acerola's bullet seed (to heal) and bmove carefully. She can take the wood hammer (took around 20% HP when bulu's at -4 attack). Make sure Bulu is confused before every sync

Tornadus #33
Okay this was laughably easy

Tornadus #34
Sonia finally used! I gave her antitoxin

My third 100 streak

[warped kettle]

WE LOVE TO SEE IT

[raven timber]

Regi is really walling me rn

I have 1 team I want to try

After that i don't know anymore, random bullshit go

Well 2. The acerola naomi one and the VElio Bianca core

[split lion]

Congrats Nov!! This is crazy to me

[raven timber]

thank you!

Good luck with your streaks! You're doing great as well

[spark pasture]

Nov 100

Good job nov!

[raven timber]

Thank you!

I'll see how many clears I can do tomorrow

Oh huh it's higher than expected

For now at least

And my ratio is unexpectedly good?? I thought my trios ruined it

[warm mango]

[spark pasture]

You’re doing 0 clears tomorrow

[raven timber]

so last night i learned helena only has OaR1 on Shadow Ball. 40% chance

ofc her paralysis chance is better so technically i should put her on torn. But! Dark weak 💔

last time i put helena on torn i got bullied

[shadow burrow]

Just dodge

[warped kettle]

just use her with a 3/5 EXR SC Irida like I did

(i should not have done that it was so goddamn expensive...but it worked)

[raven timber]

mine's 0/5, what can i add to make it easier

[warped kettle]

okay hear me out. time machine, go back 3 weeks, pull her, candy and cake, profit

[raven timber]

[warped kettle]

you're welcome

[raven timber]

thank you helper Tai with 100 LG wins i knew i could trust you

You don’t

[warped kettle]

you will need that MGR

jasmine is so fucking slow, i almost got walled at clear 99 bc i had no goddamn gauge

[raven timber]

She does have lockstep and rejuvenate but that does mean i have to sync with her and not rosa

[raven timber]

I'm doing One (1) clear today!

Tapu Bulu #34
This is very much a waste lol. Note to self, try this team on Regi next time but with Stalwart on Hop?

[spark pasture]

I was hoping you wouldn’t do a single clear today

But alas

[alpine dome]

@raven timber Sawyer grid and LS pls?

[raven timber]

Vigilance

Registeel #34
Very comfortable run. Bianca tanks with Impervious. I even forgot to change her LS back to Vigilance and won first try

I can't make KGrimsley Hilbert work even with +6 speed there is simply. No gauge

Get good MGR procs or get rekt

[spark pasture]

Is this technically 2 clears today or one

[worn herald]

It's morning for her, isn't it?

[spark pasture]

Yeah but it’s technically two clears today for us North Americans

Time zone technicalities!

[raven timber]

2 clears in one reset

I just need to do one more round to match my PB let's go baby

This KGrimsley Hilbert duo is shit!

[warped kettle]

GO GO GO

Okay I need to do my BR first
