Gakon's Academy Sonia Waiting Room

[vocal flax]

yeah ofc that team cant work because of gauge, unless...

[whole flame]

Unless you intentionally spammed Guzma's first impression for no gauge cost and faster animation time

Though idk why you chose Naomi

[vocal flax]

she is a filler

[whole flame]

Could've had an actual support there like Kiawe

[vocal flax]

there is a reason that team can work without a gauge support

[fluid pecan]

Quick Tempo, Naomi’s speed buffs, and Guzma’s good gauge?

[whole flame]

Quick Tempo?

Who has that

[vocal flax]

Anni Lillie

but

[whole flame]

Ooooh

[vocal flax]

i didnt pick that tile

[whole flame]

Infinite MPRs on Guzma and Naomi?

[vocal flax]

they didnt proc MPRs either

there must be another reason r-right?

[elfin scaffold]

Getting Grumpy about Gakon’s glorious theme

(I have no idea, I just wanted to make an alliteration)

[vocal flax]

wait how can i react with super emote?

the answer: the Anni Lillie team was ||using -3 Sync CD params as well||

i thought the proof was very clear

[whole flame]

So it was just lillie DPS go brrr?

What move level is your lillie anyway

[vocal flax]

||5/5||

[whole flame]

.......

[vocal flax]

actually she nuked with first sync

[whole flame]

Ah I see

I never thought she had a good nuke

[vocal flax]

she has Brain Sync 3

and SEUN

what's the theme again? outta ideas again

[dreamy sorrel]

Azul

[vocal flax]

Which theme i have 3 themes on the line rn

[restive surge]

Vantner theme

Time to showcase tapu koko and fini

[vocal flax]

Imagine me having them

[modest narwhal]

I'm gonna do it once Lana comes out and I pull Hau and Mina from dailies

[vocal flax]

You pull for Acerola as well?

[restive surge]

Chezei ignoring limited unit thats not variety? Thats not Chezei

[modest narwhal]

Yeah, I'm gonna pull for Acerola as well. I have to be smart with my gems for now

[restive surge]

Pull ssacerola because she can boost OG Dawn

[modest narwhal]

[vocal flax]

Prepare for June units

[modest narwhal]

I'm hoping there aren't any faves of mine, but I'm sure I'll be wrong

[restive surge]

Pull ssLana because ssdawn and sslana both psychic and a great team

[vocal flax]

Pull SS Lana because she is the only physical Psychic other than Tate

[vocal flax]

[restive surge]

It will be hard for a month without any limited units

[modest narwhal]

I might have to wait for a month full of reruns or something

[elfin scaffold]

vantner theme not this week for me, unless i want sycamore moonblast dps i guess lol

how about the very original all-EX theme!

[trim valve]

Oh we could try beating each member with themselves.

[true linden]

MASSIVE LACK OF SELENE OR ELIO IN THIS THREAD

[elfin scaffold]

Selene and Elio are as present in the most recent clear as this month's new pokefair units

[dreamy sorrel]

I used them for the grass cs!

[true linden]

but this isn't your thread

[dreamy sorrel]

ytue

[vocal flax]

I did this theme once, during Unova CS iirc

[vocal flax]

lm lacking you know

[vocal flax]

Bonus theme(s) for this week: Vantner's theme There is also a hidden theme in the clear, can you guys figure it out?

[whole flame]

At least 2 pairs come from the same region in each team?

[dreamy sorrel]

All legends

[whole flame]

All legends/mythicals/UBs is literally what Vantner's theme is

Hence why we dub it Vantner theme now lol

[vocal flax]

Correct

That was quick

[restive surge]

I like to use team at round 4 before they allow the same trainer can be in same team update, but later with solgaleo power boost maybe i can do it again

[restive surge]

Will have to revise when paradoxes start to come in this game...i'm gonna try to collect them as well

[vocal flax]

What is the your Solgaleo team currently?

[restive surge]

Currently? I rarely use him unless gauntlet because Gloria deal more damage also has aoe sync...but after power boost, i think solgaleo will be better than 3/5 Gloria

[vocal flax]

I see

[restive surge]

I did use him this week, although i still clear it but hop+gloria+solgaleo does have gauge issues

[vocal flax]

Yeah sometimes Solgaleo had to use Metal Claw

[restive surge]

Even bogo cannot fix him in that team i think because tm bogo means first tm still costs 3 gauge. Well at least more manageable if the team with djgloria instead of gloria like what yours did. But if i get a tech steel later that can do almost similar stuff like djgloria, i will ditch her later

[vocal flax]

Imagine Emma being ontype

[dreamy sorrel]

Wow now I see why she’s tier one or smth

[vocal flax]

Emma? She is a top tier because of good dmg and stacked utility

[dreamy sorrel]

No whenever I saw showcases of her at release she didnt seem as good as people were saying

[vocal flax]

Maybe their Emma was 1/5

You should go see Zinfogel's showcase

[dreamy sorrel]

no it was 3/5 she didnt look too stellar but that looks way better

i dont watch zinfogle lel

[vocal flax]

Then they did sth wrong lol

If you want i can record some showcases

[dreamy sorrel]

like she was only dealing like 2-4K damage

!!

[vocal flax]

This week theme is Tapus' colour like nov did last week, but i have different rules:

• Each team must have 3 different colours
• No green colour

[modest narwhal]

[stuck drift]

Green is not a creative colour

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

I usually do non themed run first with ontype and overkill teams. But this week non themed clear has a hidden theme by coincidence lol

[whole flame]

2 of the same types in each team?

[restive surge]

Rebuff/field effects in each team

[vocal flax]

Both are correct lel

Didnt notice that every team has field effect/rebuff

[whole flame]

Gakon using lel makes me think they were Richu for a sec

oof it cut off the sync dmg

I believe the recording didn't show me Valerie's nuke number to spare Acerola the shame

[vocal flax]

Blame my potato phone

[dreamy sorrel]

Wow Valero did mkre DPS than I expected

Wow Emma looks really good

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

Tapus colours theme is here!!!! I make sure all team must have different colours.

Vs. Acerola: Helena (Purple) - Lucian (Red) - EX SBurgh (Pink)

Vs. Kahili: EX SS Diantha (Pink) - Red - Plumeria (Purple)

Vs. Olivia: Nita (Yellow) - EX SS Leaf (Pink) - EX Emma (Purple)

Vs. Molayne: OG Erika (Yellow) - SS Giovanni (Purple) - Courtney (Red)

[elfin scaffold]

sonia masters outfit colours theme when

[vocal flax]

I will consider using this theme in the next CS region

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

My record in time trial event. SS Dawn having HS1 + double Crisis Countdown 1 is MVP

Update: the record is 45s with the same team

Wait, if I bring HS1 Anni May with Propulsion 1, can i do better?

[dreamy sorrel]

Modtblikely

[vocal flax]

Thats possible, but i have to give LuSSamine Head Start and need a bit more dmg to clear both sides after first sync

Basically there are two big rng rolls:

• need to crit both sides with sync and PL
• max roll on both sync and PL

[dreamy sorrel]

So what you’re saying is Caitlin>lusamine

[vocal flax]

I dont have her EX

[vocal flax]

If both happens, i will end up at around 0:30

[dreamy sorrel]

O

But yoh do have LuSSa ex

[vocal flax]

Yes

You can see her EX outfit in my screenshot

[dreamy sorrel]

No 3/5?

[vocal flax]

3/5

She just needs a little damage

[dreamy sorrel]

Odd Caitlin cleared the sides regardless

Do they have similar nukes?

[vocal flax]

If only SS Dawn could apply a SMUN before half health

I think SS Lusa has better sync

[dreamy sorrel]

Then how come Caitlin can clear, no psychic gear?

[vocal flax]

[dreamy sorrel]

I got 42 seconds with Caitlin

[vocal flax]

Oh right she cant activate Double Down 9 on sides

[dreamy sorrel]

O

[vocal flax]

And she cant setup Hide n Sync within the first sync cycle

[dreamy sorrel]

Maybe bring an accuracy debuff

[vocal flax]

[dreamy sorrel]

It may help kill the sides

[vocal flax]

Guten Idee

[dreamy sorrel]

Like 3/5 rippe effect

[vocal flax]

Wake up Hapoo, its time

Sadly the result is way worse

[dreamy sorrel]

Horse

[vocal flax]

Nah i give up, 45s is my limit

[elfin scaffold]

Do I roll for HS1 for a sub 1 min

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

10 deluxe cookies later

Nah

[vocal flax]

I remember it took 50 cookies to get Adrenaline on Sonia

[dreamy sorrel]

I’ve used 32 deluxe on Nessa and never gotten ww3 on her

[vocal flax]

The rates in deluxe cookie are already bad even without CS2 and Vigilance

[vocal flax]

She came from a daily just in time for next week

[modest narwhal]

[vocal flax]

Although she has to wait so long for double candy sorry SC Lillie

[modest narwhal]

[vocal flax]

Gonna finish CCalem first

At 1/5 her terrain will expire before the second sync so im praying next week has permanent field effect param

[modest narwhal]

Just get her to 5/5 with dailies

[vocal flax]

But im poor now

[modest narwhal]

Same

[vocal flax]

🤝

[restive surge]

Pair her with sslyra

[vocal flax]

Yeah im going to pair her with Lyra

[restive surge]

I need few more tech coins so that i can 3/5 sshau...he and ssmina is my priority because i dont have other fairy zone or elec terrain faves

[vocal flax]

I think SS Mina is the top candy priority because i feel her base kit lackluster and her 3/5 offers some nice tools

[restive surge]

Yep, even 3/5 doesnt help much if her team crit buffing there's only team sharp entry 1...too much difference with ssacerola that already can give everything even at 1/5

[vocal flax]

If SS Wally and SS Hau didnt exist she would have more value

Too bad she leans toward supporting special dmg dealers

She is a bit clashing with SS Kris

Oh right how much gems it took for you to get Lele?

[restive surge]

A pity

Well my just desserts

3 multis for both hau and mina, 1 multi for acerola

So i kinda expected it

[vocal flax]

Oops

At least Tapus are a lot more friendly than Galar birds

[restive surge]

Yep 4 tapus cost me 57000 gems, while 3 galar birbs cost me 91200 gems

[vocal flax]

@dreamy sorrel i got new record 0:42 with the same team

i removed HS1 on SS Lusamine and replaced with CS2

turn out i just need to use DH+ before the sync and quad queue

[elfin scaffold]

Grats Gakon

[vocal flax]

been trying fun stuff with SS Acerola

she is so good at stacking PMUN

im recording a video with funny numbers, so stay turned

[fluid pecan]

I’ve been using SS Acerola and Hau and they only get 9 SMUN and 9 PMUN, its too little

I don’t want to candy Acerola rn, which would make it 10

[vocal flax]

mine wont get candies in the next 4 months

since im close to 3/5 CCalem

[vocal flax]

Fun teams

[whole flame]

Maybe I should try a Vantner theme

[fervent mortar]

tf is vantner

[vocal flax]

This guy -> @restive surge
He loves legendaries and use them in every content so we often call full legendary theme Vantner's theme

[vocal flax]

Both are 1/5

[fervent mortar]

ah

[vocal flax]

[fervent mortar]

full legendary sounds easy ngl

[vocal flax]

Yeah thats why i dont do the theme often

[whole flame]

I never actually tracked my legendaries/mythicals/UBs. I'll see what I can cook

Oh dang, i need to start preparing gauntlet teams

Haha i already preset my teams, only managed to do 15 streaks with my faves

Hope anniv 2 bp master units will help to do more teams

inb4 next LG has cresselia

[restive surge]

If next LG is hard with Cresselia and the likes, i maybe just gonna do 10 streaks yet still use faves run as Lear team, SsKorrina team, Galar Birbs team can settle 3 Cresselia clears

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

no

[restive surge]

But Gauntlet having cress seems fun, i wonder if Chezei can still do it last minute

[modest narwhal]

How long until the Cresselia/Moltres/Latias gauntlet

[restive surge]

Cress, Moltres, Regirock

[vocal flax]

Thats a nightmare

[dreamy sorrel]

Will not be doing a 10 streak

If that happens

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

I'll have to figure out how to solo Cresselia

[vocal flax]

Just use SST Red

[modest narwhal]

Well if you only do casual streaks doing duo is not recommended

[whole flame]

I'm trying a Hop and Oak duo on Cobalion rn. banging my head against the wall. It's essentially simple but RNG keeps screwing me over one way or another

[vocal flax]

I dont have enough patience for doing that duo smh

[whole flame]

really now? I thought that duo was easy because of how unkillable it is

[vocal flax]

Oak seems gauge hungry

[whole flame]

the gauges are actually good

[vocal flax]

My Morty is only 2/5 and it requires a lot of Potion MPR. Its time consuming too

[whole flame]

Things screwing me over:

1. Missing Thunder
2. No paralysis proc
3. Missing Fire Blast
4. Hop gets poisoned
5. No Hop TM MPR (easy reset)
6. No Potion resets (not very major but still annoying. if Hop can live at least one Sacred Sword, that'd be great, thanks)

[vocal flax]

I swear Cobalion has hidden +3 crit, Def Crush 9 and HE9

I can 3/5 my sshau on poma day, infinite elec terrain

SsAcerola might take a while, seems like Ssmina needs more help than her

[vocal flax]

i really like Bulurola's grid, infinite terrain is really pog

i like Serena more than Hau so i will double candy her first

[restive surge]

Yep as i already have sslyra, i will prioritize ssmina first for fairy coverage...but she does clash a bit with sycamore as both need to sync

[elfin scaffold]

that's a lot of units to candy

are you going to EX them too

[vocal flax]

yes ofc

im hoarding just to EX them

@stiff lynx here is the recording

knowing that Alder's sync is not enough to KO Hau before the sync, i delayed his sync

it would be better if you sync on the left side for a cleaner KO

i even missed 2 Hyper Beam

Nice 1st hyper beam miss

How to start well a battle

i made the run less comfortable for no reason

[vocal flax]

i dont like 2v3 on CS

you could've tried my theme skill thingy

tf evelyn and nita only share 3 theme skills /5

i will look into it

oh wait if i do the theme i will use most of your used units

[fervent mortar]

not really

since only my 1st round counts lol

well 2nd does too but it's only 10 shared

[vocal flax]

hey how about not overlap theme skill challenge

i did this theme once but it was 7.5k run before

[fervent mortar]

sounds painful

but at least it sounds possible

it sounds fun to do team building

[fervent mortar]

not like max amount of shared theme skills which requires to search through all your units for hours

[vocal flax]

i wish there was a site that can help filtering theme skills

not the tracker tho

[fervent mortar]

pomatools

[vocal flax]

it can filter themes?

[vocal flax]

i forgor

[fervent mortar]

how do you think i found all those teams that share max theme skills lol

[vocal flax]

i thought you went to each pair's theme skill menu ingame to check manually

[fervent mortar]

i don't have half the units i made teams for

variety agatha ? ss hilda ? ash ? fuck those ||ok i want ss hilda but fuck ash||

[vocal flax]

<-- who never pulled variety

[fervent mortar]

not even ball guy ?

[vocal flax]

i dont like him and i was going for CBede's pity tho

im not interested in his kit also

sure soloing 11 LA is op but i dont need it

[fervent mortar]

smh can't do anything to moltres bad unit

[elfin scaffold]

[fervent mortar]

ah, someone discovered the power of ball guy

[elfin scaffold]

I expected a theme smh now I can’t steal it

[fervent mortar]

KEK

[elfin scaffold]

I don’t pull on variety scouts mate

[vocal flax]

here is the theme: ||stall 5 stages||

[fervent mortar]

well ball guy is only variety by name

[fervent mortar]

ah yes
i know it's possible, i saw someone do 5 poison stall once

[vocal flax]

he got variety type because dena was too lazy designing his sync move animation

[vocal flax]

stalling is boring

[fervent mortar]

anyway, starting to build teams for no shared theme

this is so free omfg

[vocal flax]

lets add Anni Raihan as the third for more overkill

[fervent mortar]

i don't have him but yes

[vocal flax]

hmm if i need a defense debuffer there, who would be the best

not Nanu

[fervent mortar]

bp clemont

[vocal flax]

great idea

[fervent mortar]

both def buffs, accuracy and def debuffs

BP Clemont is so fucking good for CS

him + aaron can carry literally any physical dps

and they don't share a single theme skill

[vocal flax]

here is another no overlap theme team

yes, this is an old team

[fervent mortar]

ok emmet doesn't need to be carried, but lodge serena sure does

[vocal flax]

if only the birb had real dps

[fervent mortar]

Peck is what makes Entei and Cobalion solos less hard !

[vocal flax]

but i dont do solo!

someday i will EX her, someday

Fletchling is one of my fav Kalos mon

[fervent mortar]

the fact that she got fletchling of all her Pokémon (not many) despite only using it in 1 battle lol

[vocal flax]

she used it in capturing tutorial iirc

[fervent mortar]

and in the first battle against her

[vocal flax]

just checked, not in the first batle against her

she used in the first multi battle

[fervent mortar]

oh yeah

[vocal flax]

as the partner

[fervent mortar]

me can't read

[vocal flax]

Oops

[elfin scaffold]

Couple 1/5s in there

[vocal flax]

gimme me candies

[elfin scaffold]

In 4 months

[vocal flax]

https://tenor.com/view/jump-jumping-cool-bridge-gif-17011292

[fervent mortar]

AYYYYY

wtf 5/5 ss serena

[vocal flax]

i got ultra lucky on her banner

[fervent mortar]

I got her on the last mult

playing hard to get

[vocal flax]

[fervent mortar]

3/5 no shared skill done, how tf do i beat molayne

[vocal flax]

what team are you going to use?

[fervent mortar]

imma try ss brendan + silver

my fire type dps are non existent lol

i have like 1/5 ss may and 1/5 anni n the rest of my fire types are f2p

[vocal flax]

Hey SS May has good dps

Pair her with SS Erika

[fervent mortar]

Sygna suit theme skill

[vocal flax]

[fervent mortar]

but you gave me an idea

said idea was trash

1/5 ss may's really lacking dps

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

oh its 2v3

i thought you were doing 3v3

[fervent mortar]

3v3 would be so free lol

[vocal flax]

try with Anni N then

[fervent mortar]

i already know his nuke is not quite enough

i struggled to win with this team

no shared theme skill btw

[vocal flax]

try with more aggressive params

[fervent mortar]

eeeeh

[whole flame]

wait what's your theme? no shared theme skills?

[vocal flax]

yup

[fervent mortar]

yes

funny that i legitimately did one by accident

[vocal flax]

[whole flame]

that's an interesting one

[dreamy sorrel]

my collection is better

It didn’t reply anger

[fervent mortar]

i'm getting outsimped

[vocal flax]

noone cant beat your 5/5 Calem

[fervent mortar]

i don't think i'm ever giving calem a single candy lol

[vocal flax]

fake simp smh

same

[dreamy sorrel]

I could candy CCalem to soon 5/5

[vocal flax]

[fluid pecan]

Cuz they wanted him to sell

[vocal flax]

They could make him a PF or a MF

[fervent mortar]

Where's your no theme skill CS

[vocal flax]

Im too lazy now

[fervent mortar]

[vocal flax]

i already have another theme this week

this theme is very easy to guess so i dont reveal what is it until im done

[fervent mortar]

[latent quiver]

[vocal flax]

this emote is a hint to that theme

[fervent mortar]

mono steel/kalos/sc/pigtails
only supports
one/two gauge moves
only stat droppers
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh

tfw mono pigtails

[vocal flax]

all of them are incorrect

[fervent mortar]

only sync pair that aren't fairy type but have a fairy pokemon

i don't even think there's 15 of them lol

[vocal flax]

still incorrect

this theme is related to trainers

[fervent mortar]

only trainers that are the most fucking useless character in the main games

[vocal flax]

what did you say

[fervent mortar]

[whole flame]

special costumes?

or pokemas-exclusive outfits

[vocal flax]

Still incorrect

[modest narwhal]

Rivals?

[vocal flax]

yes you guessed one part of the theme

[modest narwhal]

is the other part also located in the Shauna emote or do we have to wait for that one?

[vocal flax]

wait for that one

[modest narwhal]

[fervent mortar]

Only rivals but the same rival each round

Like only Shauna R1, only Wally R2 etc etc

Wdym there arent enough

[vocal flax]

not the right theme

im struggling on Hau

[vocal flax]

The theme is rival/bestie theme

This was intended to be 2v3 only but Cheren is fucking weak on special side and Hau is a nightmare to 2v3

[modest narwhal]

[dreamy sorrel]

What if cheren PB just makes him SCSteven but with supp ex

[fluid pecan]

No ex cerena?

[vocal flax]

1/5

she is my next 3/5 target

[vocal flax]

dragon buddies vs rock dude

[fervent mortar]

me when 16s loading screen

[vocal flax]

flexing my 1/5 Rosa 😎

[modest narwhal]

How long until 5/5 Rosa

[fervent mortar]

oh yeah that can miss

[vocal flax]

I didnt use Lucas' TM

[vocal flax]

yes

[fervent mortar]

EoS before 5/5 rosa

or they FINALLY give free dupes

again*

[vocal flax]

Still waiting for story 5* being added to gen pool

[fervent mortar]

i believe they already did it ?

[fervent mortar]

or as BP tbf

[vocal flax]

They gave free dupes of Acerola, Rosa and Calem

[vocal flax]

[fervent mortar]

not master bp

regular bp

[vocal flax]

Also @whole flame i guess this is another Lucas showcase?

[vocal flax]

If this ever happens i dont think they will be regular BP

[fervent mortar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVdoY5mrEFI

The only lucas showcase that matters

[vocal flax]

its still one of the most impressive solo imo

[fervent mortar]

yet it's so free

no rng involved just use the same moves in the same order against the same target

THIS is the most impressive solo

[vocal flax]

imagine dodging all moves

[dreamy sorrel]

2 year solo hype

[whole flame]

Beautiful

[vocal flax]

my pulling tierlist this month

[elfin scaffold]

How many gems?

[vocal flax]

19k gems rn

im planning to save for Irida's pity first

[elfin scaffold]

Good choice

[vocal flax]

if she comes home early and there are still enough gems for a pity before Adaman leaves, i will pull him as well

he is a very good partner for SC Sonia, so its hard to skip him

[elfin scaffold]

Silver in shambles

[vocal flax]

i wait for his rerun

[elfin scaffold]

Looks like several of us will be showcasing some new units (including me)

[vocal flax]

how about you, do you plan to pull anyone this month?

[elfin scaffold]

Irida and Eusine

I have two pities already

[vocal flax]

[whole flame]

i'm gunning for 5/5 SS Silver

maybe not immediately, but I'll pull him day 1, then wait for datamine before deciding to continue pulling for him or just use candies

[vocal flax]

Just use candies

[modest narwhal]

Just get him there with dailies

[whole flame]

< f2p

[vocal flax]

time to become a whale nov

[whole flame]

i'm a college student living on a budget!

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

I am too, which is why I've had to not whale recently

[latent quiver]

Whale responsibly everyone!!

[vocal flax]

https://streamable.com/glkcvb

I recorded a 3k ontype featuring Lusamine too but it got corrupted and im lazy

[fervent mortar]

Ready for the ice CS, i see

[vocal flax]

i dont think i can do mono ice

im just planning to the CS normally but i dont use pairs like Brycen, Lorelei and Pryce because they literally have non exist dmg or too annoying to setup

[fervent mortar]

There's exactly 22 ice type in the game

3 egg, 10 f2p (legendary, bp, gen pool...), the rest is poke fair or master fair

So TECHNICALLY if you do 2 2v3 you can do mono ice f2p, but damn it sucks

[vocal flax]

imagine 2v3 with Lorelei

[fervent mortar]

Variety

[vocal flax]

im missing a good chunk of Ice types

[vocal flax]

[fervent mortar]

Well you have 1 more than me

2

you have 2 more than me

[vocal flax]

who are they

[fervent mortar]

I have no limited ice type

[vocal flax]

well Ghetsis and Hala are enough so i get that

[fervent mortar]

Hala ? Never really used him

Ghetsis is just that good lol

[vocal flax]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-water-mean-look-angry-gif-5634776

use the old man, now

[fervent mortar]

I got him 3/5 super late

MAYBE I'll get Irida, if Adaman doesn't take all my gems (he already did)

[vocal flax]

but 2/5 already has Heymaker

[fervent mortar]

I got 2/5 super late too

[vocal flax]

you pitied him?

[fervent mortar]

I got 2/5 and 3/5 in the span of a week or so lol

[fervent mortar]

if only i'm not a gem saver

I did 6 mult so far

I'll have enough to pity him if needed

but i fucking hope not

[vocal flax]

meanwhile i got 4 Hala in a week during 2nd anni

[vocal flax]

good luck

[fervent mortar]

[vocal flax]

[fervent mortar]

everyone around me got him super early

[elfin scaffold]

It took me 30k free gems so it was not super early

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

What move lvl?

[vocal flax]

She is 1/5 for now

[elfin scaffold]

[fervent mortar]

might as well pity ngl

[elfin scaffold]

I will, just later..lol

[vocal flax]

Imagine the last multi giving out 2/5 so that you choose 3/5 for pity

[elfin scaffold]

Or I get her twice and decide between 4/5 or 1/5 Courtney

[vocal flax]

Hopefully it wont happen

[elfin scaffold]

[elfin scaffold]

18 ice types really isn’t a lot

[fervent mortar]

at that point 4/5 lmao

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

Im too busy to prepare for the intended theme this week which is Alola Dex only theme so here is a quick offtype theme

[elfin scaffold]

double gardevoir and greninja

[vocal flax]

Double Trouble!

[elfin scaffold]

no double tsareena

[vocal flax]

I want to try newly EX 1/5 Victor

(he might be 3/5 next week)

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

Look like i have to wait until BV is open to get him to 3/5, unless Sinnoh CS gives out strike coin

[whole flame]

you guys are candying your Victor?

mine stays at 1/5 and he still goes unga bunga

[vocal flax]

But i want more overkill!

Well besides being fav i feel like he is a bit underwhelming in LG

So i decided to double candy him

[whole flame]

I pair him with a speed support and call it a day

[vocal flax]

I remember struggling against Tornadus with him, Evelyn and Potionchu

[fervent mortar]

Even 5/5 150 EX Victor cant solo Tabu Bulu
I cant see any reason to candy Victor

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

skill issue

[fervent mortar]

bet

i give you the account and you do it

[vocal flax]

But i have skill issue as well

Cant beat LA with 1/5 Victor

[fervent mortar]

Massive skill issue

[vocal flax]

[fluid pecan]

Was someone saying something about me? I heard skill issue

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

same tbh

[vocal flax]

go finish CS and LG Chezei

[modest narwhal]

[vocal flax]

Chezei casually speedrunning poma deadline every week

[modest narwhal]

I'm a natural

[fluid pecan]

I feel like that’s not good for your mental health

What if your internet goes down in 4 hours

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

My wifi and my service going down would probably cause a lot more panic for me than just worrying about the CS

[vocal flax]

Gakon SS Erika

SS Hilda Iris Hau Marshal Jessie Zerena Kris Diantha
Will Serena SS Korina Iris(Alt) (Freebie) Candice Kukui SS Cyrus
Torchic SS blue Rosa Lodge Elesa Leaf Skyla Sycamore Nita

Here is my roster in the community event lol

[fervent mortar]

You didn't get kris smh fake kris member

[vocal flax]

i did

[fervent mortar]

im blind

you didn't get sonia smh fake sonia simp

[vocal flax]

Freebie means i can use any unit in that role right

[fervent mortar]

yes

this is broken lmao

[vocal flax]

[fervent mortar]

BRO YOU GOT 9 SUPPORTS

[vocal flax]

i have 8

you didnt count Lodge as a separate unit right

[fervent mortar]

I did

[vocal flax]

1. Torchic
2. SS Blue
3. Rosa
4. LElesa
5. Leaf
6. Skyla
7. Sycamore
8. Nita

[fervent mortar]

nvm

smh lodge is op

[vocal flax]

my support roster is okay

the strike roster tho

Iris and Marshal

💀

[fervent mortar]

Wulfric and Norman for me

[vocal flax]

at least Wulfric has flinch!

[fervent mortar]

iris has durable !

[vocal flax]

i dont even have good status inflictor to counter Cynthia

[fervent mortar]

and marshal has flinch

[vocal flax]

b-but

you have Norman who has 60% paralysis

[fervent mortar]

Who needs norman when I have BP Erika

[vocal flax]

save BP Erika for another team

[whole flame]

ss cyrus cheese, dammit gakon

i'm the other way around... supports are insane, strikers are good, tech is a bit concerning but I think I can cook something with it

[vocal flax]

Well i got both Serena and SS Cyrus, which makes up for my not-so-good roster

Also got some a couple of good flinchers hehe

[vocal flax]

Alright here are my teams used for Battle Factory event:
Bertha: 3450 points, picking SS Erika is a brilliant choice
Flint: 2900 points blame Joey for not rolling any good Psychic dmg dealer
Aaron: 3750 points, SS Cyrus cheese 😎
Lucian: 3550 points, SS Korrina doing casual work, shout out to Kris for boosted 80% flinch
Cynthia: 3450 points, could go higher but im really tired now, Lucy is my freebie choice

[elfin scaffold]

damn

maybe i shoulda pushed for over 3k

[fluid pecan]

No sonia

[vocal flax]

you should

blame Joey

[elfin scaffold]

eh, i tend to one and done these clears lol

[vocal flax]

Richu is trying 5k points

[modest narwhal]

With their lineup?

[vocal flax]

hi Chezei

yup

[elfin scaffold]

i don't feel like trying that hard lol

[modest narwhal]

Hi there

[vocal flax]

same, dont want to suffer

[elfin scaffold]

i was kinda struggling with some of mine

[modest narwhal]

Now I feel pressured to push to 5k

[elfin scaffold]

some i def coulda have gone past 3k

but nah its ok lol

[vocal flax]

i could push to 3k5 per stage if i got better roster

[elfin scaffold]

no weather changer for bertha really tired me out or i coulda had a higher clear for cynthia

[vocal flax]

no weather changer? thats cruel

[elfin scaffold]

i had calem but needed him with MR and sidney lol

[vocal flax]

wait you have Bertha

let her nuke herself

[modest narwhal]

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

free sand

[elfin scaffold]

i even EX roxanne and i didn't use her

[vocal flax]

she is very useful tho

not a waste imo

[elfin scaffold]

yeah i'm not mad at getting her EX

just kept dying in 2 hits lol

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

so we're gonna be expecting 17,500-20,000 clears consistently in the future right?

[vocal flax]

im not ready

[elfin scaffold]

oh hey you only used one more striker than me lol

[vocal flax]

one of them is a tech in disguise

[elfin scaffold]

technically not technically cheating

[vocal flax]

[whole flame]

You're so very willing to do ny dawn solo on azelf, what's stopping you from doing 5k

[modest narwhal]

5k doesn't allow me to show off Dawn's incredible prowess as a soloer and also I like to pretend I have a life

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

Anyone can guess the themes here? They are very easy to guess

[lucid plover]

I see two of the same type per team then a main Support

[vocal flax]

correct

there is one theme left

[elfin scaffold]

no pokefairs or master fairs (too tired for harder guesses)

[fluid pecan]

No seasonals, varieties, or scs either

The only limiteds are lodge gloria and marnie (who are kinda sorta permanent in a sense )

[vocal flax]

lodge pairs are not limited in my sense because you can always get them anytime (if you have the base pair ofc)

the themes are 2 ontype/1 offtype support and non limited units

[elfin scaffold]

est folks got the guesses in before 10pm!

[vocal flax]

i havent come up with a hard theme yet

hard means "hard to guess"

[vocal flax]

skull emoji

[dreamy sorrel]

I hate first aid

[vocal flax]

on top of Endurance

[dreamy sorrel]

That’s the combo I should have not you

[vocal flax]

:AaronL:

[vocal flax]

Noone expected 5 Serena clears!

Took me 1 hour to figure the right params for Cynthia lol

[fervent mortar]

ayyyyyyy

CS approved

[vocal flax]

you should try offtype TW sometimes

[fervent mortar]

TW ?

[vocal flax]

Thousand Waves

[fervent mortar]

ah

After i'm done putting 200 sprites in 100 different folders maybe

[vocal flax]

[fervent mortar]

Fun

[whole flame]

what the hell

[fervent mortar]

what being a contest manager on the Pokemon Infinite Fusion discord does to my mental health

[whole flame]

[vocal flax]

that seems fun

[fervent mortar]

It is not

But it's a sponsored contest (aka winner gets money) so i have to do it

other managers are lazy asses smh i get to do all the work

[vocal flax]

force them to work

[elfin scaffold]

[fervent mortar]

I'm struggling to beat flint

no fairy zone for me

[vocal flax]

Perhaps bring another dmg dealer

Like

[fervent mortar]

lmao

rn im using sp burgh + clemont

[vocal flax]

Hunter Instinct

Just focus on her nuke

[fervent mortar]

Why doesn't she have cakewalk

[vocal flax]

Also that team buffs spatk very slow

[fervent mortar]

The ONE unit that easily enables Cakewalk doesn't get it, that's ridiculous

[vocal flax]

2021 kit design moment

[fervent mortar]

Seasonal side expansion when

she'd get OaR moonblast and Cakewalk

[vocal flax]

[fervent mortar]

I got the rafa curse wtf

Serena's sync won't crit

[whole flame]

Rafa is so famous for not critting that the curse is named after them huh

[vocal flax]

Team Lucas get good roster, but in exchange their chance to crit on sync is halved

[fervent mortar]

AGAIN wtf

[vocal flax]

[fervent mortar]

ok that sucks a lot without fairy zone

i can't quite go full offense because stupid flint has crazy damage, and i can't quite go full hp because 2 sync AFTER A SUPPORT SYNC BUFF can't kill mid

[fervent mortar]

I did it, my parameters are ridiculous lmao

[vocal flax]

CS Flint my hatred

[elfin scaffold]

[whole flame]

I hate fire-weak aaron more

What's with Aaron and burst healing

[vocal flax]

at least he doesnt have Heal Order in every weakness

[modest narwhal]

I still remember being so confused about everyone struggling against Electric-weak Aaron because I just used NY Volkner

[vocal flax]

remember when we were shocked that full nuke Marnie couldnt ohko the bee
