Gakon's Academy Sonia Waiting Room

[whole flame]

Leaf and anni steven! I used that core a lot

[vocal flax]

she is really good at boosting Good Form

[dapper tide]

Impressive

[fervent mortar]

At 2:06 you landed a frame perfect input lol

Maybe having a very laggy phone is the meta

[vocal flax]

Very true, but it rarely happens

Also my phone only lags when i record videos

[fervent mortar]

Recording videos is the meta then

[vocal flax]

R3 is here! I had to change the param multiple times so that both Gloria and Sycamore could clear as fast as possible. I should have targeted left when mid was down but i forgot turn order at the time

[vocal flax]

R4 LETS GOOOOO

Its funny that this team clears the fastest despite being offtype lel. CCalem and CSerena are so op

[vocal flax]

And finally... R5. Selene and Allister have decent synergy together which is really cool. I could go easier with turning off physical damage reduction and standard damage reduction param but i want Selene to shine like the sun and the moon. Lillie is there for EX support sync and sure crit on Max Ooze

[sterile pendant]

it’s really sad how sycamore does more DPS than gloria

[sterile pendant]

lfgggg hi allister :)

[vocal flax]

he is so good, i should use him more

[vocal flax]

Wooo finally after hours of struggling, i got to rank 1452. Nessa is the true nightmare, no actually the event is true nightmare overall to someone who doesnt have Archie, SS Lysandre, Eusine and SS Kris like me Also had to EX SwMisty lol, Marlon is too insane

Misty: 350 STR
Marlon: 300 STR
Lana: 300 STR
Nessa: 200 STR
Archie: 350 STR

@trim valve is this worth pinning in #1128052735967764621? Mine is not too high compared to who got pinned there?

[trim valve]

Added

[vocal flax]

thank you

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

Gakon on the board

Lodge May!

[vocal flax]

i thought Misty fight would be the hardest but turned out she was the easiest lol. beat her in 2 attempts

Lana, Marlon and especially Nessa fights took a lot of tries

[elfin scaffold]

Misty is like a really hard Bertha. Change the weather and hope her attacks miss lol

Im surprised you EX lodge Rosa unless that was done before this

[vocal flax]

looking at her stage info again, i think i overestimated Misty, she only uses special moves and after removing hail she doesnt hit hard

[vocal flax]

i EXed her atm lodge units got EX unlocked cuz i like Dewott and Rosa is a good tier fav the only one i EXed for the event is SwMisty

[whole flame]

dang it, swimmisty EX is necessary?

[vocal flax]

i dont regret EXing her since she has LG utility

yeah

[elfin scaffold]

I mean you want to sync with Misty to get the HP back

My grid I had endurance

[vocal flax]

wait... she HAS Endurance?

[whole flame]

was hoping potion spam would be enough

my marlon team was hilbert/swimmisty/lodge silver and I didn't need synchro healing

[elfin scaffold]

I made new grids for some units

Lemme search the sync grid on my computer lol

safety tether

and then on the run for even more RNG

[vocal flax]

my grid was literally LG grid with TM and Potion MPR

and SH

i should have used your grid for extra longevityy

[elfin scaffold]

my reasoning is because swim misty might not survive long enough for the potions to matter

[whole flame]

same lol

[elfin scaffold]

so taking an extra hit would be the diff between winning and restarting

[vocal flax]

yeah and my Potion rng was really bad so MPR was not needed

[modest narwhal]

I went with Shower Power 5 and Water Gun MGR on mine

[elfin scaffold]

[whole flame]

chaotic evil

[elfin scaffold]

i made a specific grid for elio as well

[vocal flax]

for difficulty in this event, i rank from the easiest to hardest: Misty -> Archie -> Marlon -> Lana -> Nessa. Most of Nessa's diffculty is from lacking good tank with sustainability

[vocal flax]

i gridded DC2 instead since i used him with Nessa

his SpDef buffs came in handy to tank sides aoe moves

[modest narwhal]

Damn, can't use a Sparkling Aria grid with Popplio

[elfin scaffold]

yeah its a ymmv situation since i was using him in the misty round with archie

[vocal flax]

EVOLVE HIM

https://tenor.com/view/popplio-gif-18078424

Look at him though!!!

[elfin scaffold]

think of the 60 gems

[vocal flax]

Primarina > Popplio

@fluid pecan please confirm

[modest narwhal]

This is slander against my boy smh my head

[fluid pecan]

Can confirm

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

Victor is there to neuter the speed buffs

Ik i didnt post the Bede one because i was too lazy to take screenshot of it

[vocal flax]

Heya! This is my LG planning doc where I document teams and my LG streaks
Feel free to send interesting teams of yours via DM or ping me in this thread

Here is the link to the doc: Gakon's Painful LG Plan

Aurochs can you pin this for me? @stuck drift

[vocal flax]

Thank you

[whole flame]

I never share my planning sheet because they're pretty dogshit

[vocal flax]

I will post my teams there so i have to decorate it a bit

[whole flame]

I meant dogshit in terms of my teams are ridiculous. I love my formatting

A hardcore LG player is gonna take a look at my finished teams and cringe hard, let alone my plans

Because I don't plan! I mix and match whatever's cheap and go from there

[vocal flax]

The best way to planning is not planning at all

[whole flame]

Random bullshit go

And if I find it too easy, it means it's not cheap enough and I can go lower

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

i don't plan

10 and out

bring the same teams i usually do

[vocal flax]

But using the same teams again and again is

[whole flame]

LG is the one game mode I actively choose to exert a lot of braincells

in exchange, I braindead everything else

[vocal flax]

the only place where we actually use braincells

[elfin scaffold]

using braincells for type masters

[whole flame]

All my braincells are hyperfocused on LG

Can't spare some for high score event

[vocal flax]

my braincells reached the limit at 262k points

[vocal flax]

Glacia and Drake are driving me insane in my themed run

[whole flame]

Glacia and Drake as CS bosses vs Glacia and Drake as playable units

[vocal flax]

finally done with Drake, had to bring the zone tho

[vocal flax]

finally beat Glacia, facing Sidney now

[elfin scaffold]

good luck

[vocal flax]

I finished the weekly theme hours ago but i needed to sleep So the run is no EX theme, which prohibits me from using EX pairs. I also limited myself from using op pairs like SS Lyra and SC Steven unless im forced to ||Fuck you Drake||

R1: Pretty straight forward. I could have used Fantina but i wanted to use my lamp boy. Took a few attempts since Phoebe hit hard

R2: I used Wulfric instead of Irida in my first 30+ attempts, but both struggled with the sides after mid went down. So i went with Irida for zone and she can clear sides pretty well.

R3: I. HATE. AOE. SPAM. in my previous attempts i uses Serena, then Bluecanine, then Ethan, but all of them were destroyed by freaking Blizzards. So Irida came to rescue again with her partner Flareon

R4: This was an easy stage compared to Drake and Glacia. Had to tweak the parameters a few times so that Bugsy could nuke Sidney in the 2nd sync

R5: It was my final round do i went with more overkill team. Also it was my second time of using newly Mega Sceptile so

[dapper tide]

EX your Iridas

[vocal flax]

next time perhaps

[elfin scaffold]

Is this the Aurochs theme

I think Chezei and I have the most EX pairs out of all of us, won’t be doable lol

Surprised Morty and Gastly survived, was a struggle when I used him

[vocal flax]

skill issue

Lodge Morty is a fun unit to use, especially in LG
when he was first revealed i felt he was underwhelming but my opinion completely changed

[vocal flax]

yes but more overkill

[elfin scaffold]

Nah Lodge Morty is really good for a free unit. Lodge Acerola OTOH..

Always believed in my Mortys lol

[modest narwhal]

Meanwhile I only EXed one Morty and that was because Nov wanted me to

[vocal flax]

hey i also have one Morty EXed

[vocal flax]

Acerola is sad
idk why i underestimated LMorty lol

[elfin scaffold]

All the Mortys are pretty good

EX Lodge Morty!!

[vocal flax]

you should EX your Mortys first

or Morties

[elfin scaffold]

I’m halfway there!

although the chances of me having OG Morty EX is low..

[elfin scaffold]

Btw, next week is gonna be a theme related to EX units right

[vocal flax]

thats a braindead theme

[vocal flax]

same the only way to encourage me to EX him is grid expansion, but i hope his expansion is also good to worth my resources

also where is your Fall Morty?

[elfin scaffold]

I don’t ever summon seasonals with free gems

[vocal flax]

so you will select him in paid fall banner, i got it

[modest narwhal]

I went through the full tiers for Fall Morty and I'm still upset

[elfin scaffold]

[lucid plover]

I’m the one who pitied every tier seasonal I’ve done

[vocal flax]

<- who hasnt spent gems on any tiered banners

[stuck drift]

No EX theme?

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

Gakon gonna do that Hapu clear next week?

[vocal flax]

m-maybe

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

maybe when i get 3/5 Courtney

[modest narwhal]

Just candy her

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

sure, just give me one

[modest narwhal]

I'm fresh out of tech candies... would a yellow candy work?

[vocal flax]

oh thats enough to get Cerena to 3/5

[modest narwhal]

Mine is still 1/5, just don't tell Mael

Oh wait I do have enough for a tech candy

But I also have enough for 15 yellow candies

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

[warm ocean]

sorry rancer.. ghost ping...
uh goto #1128052735967764621

[elfin scaffold]

its all good, mate

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

you need water masters high score advice too, gakon?

[vocal flax]

I dont want to touch that nightmare anymore

[vocal flax]

wait how many EX do you and @modest narwhal have?

i have 101 EX and im sure i have less total pairs than both of you

[modest narwhal]

I have 112, with enough for three more before I do the CS

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

[vocal flax]

should have whaled more to get EX on all units you have

[modest narwhal]

I can't, they don't give during most pulls

[vocal flax]

[whole flame]

They give , which you can exchange for !

[vocal flax]

helpers giving useful advice, so be sure to follow it!

||dont do that||

[fervent mortar]

Pretty sure whales do that

[whole flame]

Chezei is a whale, no?

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

They only allow you to exchange 50 every month, I've already done it this month

[fervent mortar]

[whole flame]

[vocal flax]

whale harder

[modest narwhal]

But it doesn't help!!

[vocal flax]

if only you finished CS in time

[elfin scaffold]

I have only 89 EX

Gakon is bigger than me

[fervent mortar]

I have 65

probably can get 70 i think

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

wait when did you start playing

i thought you played the game longer than me

[fervent mortar]

sc diantha / fall caitlin release

logged in 613 days

[vocal flax]

so i have been playing the game longer than you, i started during the 1st anni

[fervent mortar]

(i started around when maxie released and got him, but stopped because playing alone wasn't fun eventually started playing for real later)

[vocal flax]

same, but i started around the game first released but quickly quit after i got shafted then i played seriously during the 1st anni

[fervent mortar]

i wanted to play when it released but my phone wasn't compatible

[vocal flax]

[fervent mortar]

i mean in the end i think it's a good thing, the game didn't seem to be fun at release lol

[vocal flax]

yeah lol, back at that time coop was still the main content and we barely had interesting game mode or story

[vocal flax]

<- lacking theme for next week

[whole flame]

Do an alphabet clear like me

[vocal flax]

But it requires a lot of brainpower

[elfin scaffold]

All you gotta do is max your special attack

[fervent mortar]

Lots of

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-mUGj41hWA&pp=ygUKYnJhaW5wb3dlcg%3D%3D

(there are many letters in this video too )

[vocal flax]

[whole flame]

[vocal flax]

My favorite non zone team for 1/5 Alder. Also it shows how CBede can carry 4 gauge dmg dealers without much trouble even at 1/5.

The queue would be more smooth if i didnt run out of deluxe and got HS1 on Gilbert

[dreamy sorrel]

What move level is your hilbert 4/5

[vocal flax]

He is 3/5

[dreamy sorrel]

O

[ripe ridge]

Whoever told me that raikou wasn’t latios level easy was a liar

[vocal flax]

@stuck drift clear

[stuck drift]

Hapu not syncing once

[vocal flax]

her sync is

[whole flame]

I need to see a Hapu sync showcase

[vocal flax]

Hide n Sync

[elfin scaffold]

Hide and no sync

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

this is my first time struggling against a champion stage

nvm Twister Aggravation + R1 param = flinch cheese

[vocal flax]

Gakon celebrating Valentine, Summer, Anniversary, Halloween, Xmas and New Year in a day

The theme is obviously seasonal and special costume only theme

R1: Standard NY Lisia offtype clear. Anni Steven is there for extra dmg and master passive

R2: Very straight forward

R3: Sconia wrecks offtype even with -3 sync cd and no field effects. Struggled to kill sides a bit because missed crit

R4: Face seriously gauge issue. Had to post sync there i dont feel sorry at all

R5: Previously used Anni May nuke, then ARaihan nuke but they dont have enough power to nuke through Steven. SMarnie came to rescue also Raihan's flinch was cooperative here

Never do this theme in Hoenn CS again

[stuck drift]

Now do it with each battle being one seasonal

Faitlin gaming!!!!

[vocal flax]

She aged pretty well!

[elfin scaffold]

summoning on her must have been fait

also you have a lot of seasonals lol

[vocal flax]

some happened to be fav lel

[elfin scaffold]

i have 5 seasonals in total..

and they were select scout or daily discounts

[vocal flax]

im pretty sure most people in this thread have more seasonals than me

[elfin scaffold]

i have to ignore seasonals, so that's a theme i won't do

[vocal flax]

Coincidentally, Champion Stadium has 5 stages...

[elfin scaffold]

i pretend i don't see summer gloria

so technically 4 seasonals

[modest narwhal]

I used Summer Gloria to do my BV until I got NY Dawn

[elfin scaffold]

the story goes that i got summer gloria in the 11 summon to get faitlin on the select scout

[vocal flax]

she shafted me so i dont pretend she doesnt exist

[elfin scaffold]

holiday nessa, fall iris, and pal marnie were the daily 100 paid gem scouts lol

[dreamy sorrel]

Now so

[vocal flax]

Im looking for suggestions for next week theme

[fervent mortar]

Only units that can solo Moltres

[whole flame]

imagine having enough seasonals and SCs to do this

sighhh

[vocal flax]

[stuck drift]

Only not fully evolved Pokémon

[vocal flax]

Idk seems pretty hopeless 💀

2/3 of them arr supports lol

[fervent mortar]

[vocal flax]

You have a lot of better options than mine

[dreamy sorrel]

I have a bit of seasonals

[modest narwhal]

[elfin scaffold]

that's a lot of seasonals

[fervent mortar]

how did you search for unevolved mons

[dreamy sorrel]

no way Facerola 1/5 off type

[elfin scaffold]

oh wait, i have 10 seasonals then

[dreamy sorrel]

I have 16 til

[modest narwhal]

Side note, it's really fascinating to see how different people use the hearts

[elfin scaffold]

~~ I didn’t even know you can change the colour of the hearts ~~

[lucid plover]

Lol

Basically, mine goes

Blue = Top tier fav
Yellow = Second tier fav
Purple = Really like, not the biggest fav
Gray = Person/Pokémon not a fav, but love the unit

[dreamy sorrel]

I use hearts to match the outfit color lel

For my favs

[modest narwhal]

I noticed that lol

[vocal flax]

bruh wtf

[vocal flax]

i press on them manually

wait you guys use hearts?

i only use that feature when i need to filter units for theme clears!

[fervent mortar]

wait you guys use hearts ever ?

[vocal flax]

[fluid pecan]

Imagine pumping blood with an organ

[fervent mortar]

ikr

mine was replaced because it was malfunctionning, i now have a machine instead

||it's a joke, tho it exists for real lol||

[dreamy sorrel]

What lel

[vocal flax]

you have more seasonals than me!

and Annie too

[modest narwhal]

Seeing everyone else's lists really made me realize how much of a whale I've been

[vocal flax]

2/5 SConia

[fervent mortar]

Just a few seasonals

[modest narwhal]

[vocal flax]

candy Sconia then i will let you stay 😌

[modest narwhal]

Also ignore the ones that are 4/5 and 5/5

[fervent mortar]

You missed Brock, and suuuuuurely you missed Helena

[fluid pecan]

I have exactly enough seasonals/scs for a cs clear

[fervent mortar]

I see at least 2 easy off type in here

[dreamy sorrel]

Your Gloria isn’t ex?

[vocal flax]

i missed Looker as well dont tell Armlo
also LElesa dont tell Zeen as well

[dreamy sorrel]

I see 4 easy off types with Winston’s roster lel

[vocal flax]

good for u

[fluid pecan]

She is; i just can’t get the tracker to increase potential on mobile

[vocal flax]

skill issue

[dreamy sorrel]

You have to hold the image

[fluid pecan]

I know, but it just thinks i’m highlighting the image

[dreamy sorrel]

It would do that for me too but it would still Ex them

[vocal flax]

look like you have the same NFE roster like me

wait where is LRosa

and Event Bugsy too

[modest narwhal]

Also K Grimsley

As far as I can tell, this would be the full list minus any eggs

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

maybe i should wait for easier region to do this theme

[fervent mortar]

I forgot rosa

but I don't have bugther

[warm ocean]

Y’all could just ping me for teambuilding help

[elfin scaffold]

I would react that but I don’t have him either

[lucid plover]

Does it really look like we need it tho…? :T

[vocal flax]

[warm ocean]

Y E S

no one is able to teambuild perfectly/optimally every single instance

[fluid pecan]

This isn’t about optimal teambuilding tho, this is about silly themes

[elfin scaffold]

Building optimally within silly themes is a skill itself

[lucid plover]

I applaud such skills tbh

[vocal flax]

so next month:

• select PMallow and FIris
• Leon & Dragapult

[fervent mortar]

You can now add Lodge Calem

[vocal flax]

I will consider doing that theme in Johto CS depends on weaknesses

[fervent mortar]

Can't believe I missed this one LOL

[vocal flax]

Cross him out since he op

[elfin scaffold]

Nah keep him in since he op

[vocal flax]

here is my updated candy tierlist before i forget

somehow forgot i have 1/5 CBede, but he is below SC Lillie anyway

[iron olive]

Does that sort of indicate that you just end up pulling way too many tech but not get enough candies

When i say you I am generalizing everyone

[vocal flax]

thats right, some of them even came from dailies

im fine with them at 1/5, but i want to improve them more

[iron olive]

May I ask how long you been playing this game for?

[vocal flax]

i have played this game seriously since the 1st anni

[iron olive]

So with your experience. May I ask how you plan your pulls

Realistically would you just do the 1 pull per month

[vocal flax]

i only pull for faves, but i did many yolo pulls at the past and most of them turned out to be bad

[iron olive]

So what if you have a month with like 3 or 4 faves

Hahah

[vocal flax]

i prioritize getting the most fave first, then skip the rest and wait for their rerun

or if i can afford them from paid select

[iron olive]

OK have there been situation where it's not a fave but it's so strong you end up pulling anyway

I might just model someone like you who been playing a long time... so appreciate your advice

[vocal flax]

i have never pulled any meta pairs that arent my faves, well except Spring Burgh who i got from paid select last year

[vocal flax]

somehow forgot i have 1/5 CBede, but he is below SC Lillie anyway

[fervent mortar]

if I only pulled for favs my roster would be empty

[vocal flax]

But one of your faves is Serena

[fervent mortar]

not literally empty

but pretty much empty

[vocal flax]

Idk if i can get LCalem fast enough for next week

[whole flame]

I haven't pulled for pure meta since SS Giovanni. Takes me back

[vocal flax]

That was over a year ago

[fervent mortar]

I haven't pulled for meta since... irida

[vocal flax]

That was two months ago smh

[fervent mortar]

that's exactly my point lol

i pretty much only pull for meta, otherwise i don't pull at all

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

No favs so technically all my summons are for meta or not meta but fun kit. (I like certain characters and Pokémon more than others but #1 factor is kit)

[vocal flax]

how do you guys save

[fervent mortar]

That's the neat part

We don't

Right now I'm saving for anni but otherwise I never save lol

[vocal flax]

hmm i dont think i can get LCalem in a week, so i have to offtype most stages

[elfin scaffold]

If I don’t like stuff I save, I am saving for anni no matter what

[vocal flax]

its sad that BT Leon comes before the anni, because Dragapult is my fave and i have sworn that Leon & Dragapult is the only Leon alt i pull

[elfin scaffold]

It’s pre-anni bait and it has an original title Leon (alt) so that’s a skip for me. Too bad cuz I like dragapult too

[vocal flax]

he also comes with the BT remix and the badass outfit, its unavoidable for me

[dreamy sorrel]

you have 3/5 units that are not ex?

[vocal flax]

no thats the target move level

[dreamy sorrel]

o

[vocal flax]

no way i can get all of them to 3/5 suddenly

[fervent mortar]

BT Leon is so good at 1/5 too

Like candies are unnecessary

[vocal flax]

||im planning to pull him to 3/5||

[fervent mortar]

yeah sure

[vocal flax]

[fervent mortar]

I'll yolo him once

[vocal flax]

good luck

[fervent mortar]

If it wasn't anni month I would've dumped all my gems on him probably

[vocal flax]

he has an interesting kit for sure

[elfin scaffold]

future select scout

[vocal flax]

i cant wait until that 💀

[elfin scaffold]

it's too close to anni

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

im waiting for 3/5 Leon Alt to do Galar only theme for this week

[elfin scaffold]

Hope you got enough gems for whatever happens next month too just in case

[vocal flax]

im pretty doomed after scouting Leon lel

i think i can only pull 1 anni unit at most

[fervent mortar]

I did 1 yolo and got lucian lol

now saving for the whole month

[vocal flax]

gud

i got 3/5 Bertha as well, any theme idea around her?

i havent done Sinnoh only theme but i want to note some suggestions

[restive surge]

Pairs that have ancestors in the Legends Arceus theme

[vocal flax]

thats a good idea

i consider Irida's descendant being May totally not an excuse to use a fave
and Adaman's descendant being Barry

[whole flame]

Irida is clearly Paulo's ancestor

[vocal flax]

but Paulo is not available

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkAfna90TjE

im gonna do the roster based on this video

along with Irida ofc (got shafted by Adaman)

[fervent mortar]

may??

[vocal flax]

[fervent mortar]

hop???

[fervent mortar]

smh

[vocal flax]

Professor Laventon has purple hair and tan skin like Hop and Leon

[fervent mortar]

yeah there's just that lol

[vocal flax]

its more surprising that you didnt ask about Nessa

[fervent mortar]

I know about this one and i agree (to some extent tho, i don't fully agree)

dude feels more like an ancestor of that one normal gym leader from bw

[vocal flax]

she looks nothing like Palina

[vocal flax]

Lenora?

i think he looks like Marlon more

[fervent mortar]

surely?
not in masters ? i don't know the english name

[vocal flax]

speaking of Marlon, i should add him too

yes her name is Lenora

[fervent mortar]

yeah her

same hair and skin color ofc but also the dude is afraid of ghosts and his family developed to be immune to them

[vocal flax]

he is right, ghosts are scary

[vocal flax]

Glacia is so bs even with weather change

[fervent mortar]

Increased SpA Blizzard

[elfin scaffold]

Glacia's revenge from being memed on as the worst 5 star sync pair

[fervent mortar]

Cheren still was worse

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

Im fighting her on R3, but i think i should go sleep first

[lucid plover]

At least Glacia has Crit now

[vocal flax]

She is really nice for LG tbh

Limited usage in CS tho

[lucid plover]

Cheren is just like “….what is this?”

[vocal flax]

Yall should try sync nuke Cheren

Dude has an innate sync multiplier

[lucid plover]

It’s not even super effective against anything

[vocal flax]

Me: Glacia is so bullshit, even with Ingo and Bertha supporting LIrida cant clear her
Also me: Forgot SS May is in the theme roster

smh fake May fan

i have used OG May against Sidney so i should come up with a different strat for LIrida

[vocal flax]

Legend: Arceus descendant only challenge! Here is the roster: #1053291896778264597 message

R1: Irida can carry BP Candice on an offtype stage with zone. A very standard clear but had to reset a few times because LDawn always nearly took down by Outrage

R2: Another offtype team. SS Dawn is there to accelerate the sync. May's sync hits like wet noodles without acc debuff

R3: ANOTHER offtypea team. I used Hop because of Leon's brother + Atk buff + EX support. Nessa was there for extra debuff.

R4: Had to use the cheat code named SS May since LDawn cant pre sync her. Glacia is always so bs in themed clears

R5: Cheryl spotlight time. Nothing else to say about this clear except physical move spam = reset.

[whole flame]

I can't remember Caitlin's and Lucian's ancestors on top of my head...

[vocal flax]

Caitlin's is Tuli
Lucian's is Melli

I have just known about Tuli. They have the same eye and hair colour

[whole flame]

Wait, who-

[fluid pecan]

I thought melli was jupiter
They use similar mons

[lucid plover]

……..Melli is Lucian’s ancestor??

[elfin scaffold]

some of those are kinda stretching it, tbh

but still, a fun and unique theme lol

[vocal flax]

You guys should watch this video first m

[vocal flax]

There is a woman in Galaxy Team has similar outlook like her

[dreamy sorrel]

isnt jupiters ancestor the barber girl

[modest narwhal]

Arezu is Mars' ancestor

[fluid pecan]

The barber is mars’s ancestor

[dreamy sorrel]

oh

I think the common ancestors for Melli were the one hoenn frontier brain Lucian and I forgot who else

the butterfly man

I did not even know who tuli was until now but her hair color does not entirely match with caitlin I can see the resemblence with curls tho

[dreamy sorrel]

who is Nessas descendant?

it isnt the person scared of basculegion is it

No wulfric tho 💔

[fluid pecan]

Hmm, never noticed but tucker does kinds remind me of melli

[vocal flax]

Its Iscan yeah

[vocal flax]

I swear i added him

[whole flame]

i still don't know who tuli is

[vocal flax]

|| ||

She is in Ginko Guild. She is often seen with Ginter

She has an own quest too iirc

[fluid pecan]

I think that’s eshim

[vocal flax]

[hollow onyx]

OHHHH I somehow never made that connection!

[vocal flax]

i often link him to Marlon more

[vocal flax]

She nuked 105k offtype wtf. Truly the best Serena alt

[fervent mortar]

FINALLY

[vocal flax]

I still dont have EX base Serena yet but i wont EX her until her power boost arrives

[whole flame]

Made a bet with myself, i'll EX base Serena if one of the anni units is from Kalos

[vocal flax]

But arent you broken with resources rn?

[fervent mortar]

DO. IT.

[vocal flax]

If only i get Oleana

[whole flame]

By the time anni rolls around I will have recovered!

Partly thanks to LG too

Oh nooo, if only we had hit the retweet goal, I would be 25 s richer /s

[fervent mortar]

Spending resources for LG -> No more resource -> Getting resources from LG -> Have resources to spend -> Loop

[vocal flax]

a never ending loop

[whole flame]

Exactly!

[vocal flax]

you also forgot resources from Calem

[whole flame]

Oh riiight, thanks Calem

The units that will eventually be EXd out of the bet are units on my EX waitlist anyway so either way I'm good. This is just to help my indecisive ass when choosing who to EX next

[vocal flax]

i have a long list of EX but im saving the resources

namely Colress, Hugh and Courtney when i get 3/5

[elfin scaffold]

Save resources till the inevitable electric high score so you can use the EX materials all at once

[vocal flax]

but i dont try hard next HS event

[fervent mortar]

fuck hs
all my homies hate hs

[elfin scaffold]

We ain’t homies

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

[dreamy sorrel]

Smh

[modest narwhal]

I only EXed base Serena because I was doing an all Kalos run

[elfin scaffold]

EX units because fav
EX units because theme

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

i can get LCalem next reset if he doesnt screw me unless i gift him very early
hope this theme is easy so i can focus on LG

[vocal flax]

can anyone open this doc and see if you can read every tab? my friend said he couldnt see anything

[sterile pendant]

i see stuff on everything but the teams for the current LG

and i assume that's just because you haven't added anything for that

[vocal flax]

ah perfect, must be a problem from my friend's side then

and yeah i havent added any teams there yet because LG isnt live

thank you!

[sterile pendant]

[vocal flax]

Lvl 98 Calem so no themed clear on Monday

[elfin scaffold]

you don't have enough level up books?

[lucid plover]

I think Gakon means Lodge

[elfin scaffold]

[lucid plover]

I’m only at 68

[whole flame]

I'm at 80

[vocal flax]

I triggered max vibes on the first turn but i didnt want to reset. Then i had to pay for that mistake

[lucid plover]

Max Vibes first topic always kicks you back

[vocal flax]

Lesson learned, wont happen again

[elfin scaffold]

[lucid plover]

Max vibes on second topic is my karma

[vocal flax]

Btw here is the roster for this week theme. This doesnt not include LCalem yet

[vocal flax]

I did that for a long time, but now i aim to trigger on third topic

[whole flame]

Wait so what's the theme?

Not fully evolved pokemon?

[vocal flax]

I thought you guys already knew about the theme

[lucid plover]

…..

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

i'm totally out of the loop with the theme

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

I knew about it!

[whole flame]

I forgor

So many people doing so many different themes

[vocal flax]

Whats your theme this week? i know Chezei always does Chezei theme

[modest narwhal]

I usually have other themes too!

[elfin scaffold]

usually somtimes

[whole flame]

Later this week i might try 2v3 for the first time

That is, if I don't suddenly get more work or if get my lazy behind to plan for LG

[modest narwhal]

2v3s are fun!

#1011173305702690876 message so it is!

[vocal flax]

You didnt use the base Leaf smh fake Leaf fan

[whole flame]

Someday ™️

[vocal flax]

Here it is! The NFE pairs only theme ||a bit late since im busy with irl stuffs and LG planning lately|| The roster for this theme: #1053291896778264597 message (not shown in the image: LCalem and Raihan)

R1: I wish I had 3/5 Looker to make it an ontype presync like usual, but he stucks at 2/5 so I adjusted parameters a bit so that he could clear sides without much trouble. BP Erika was there to inflict Toxic

R2: Typical LRosa offtype clear. Had to time debuff well because Karen has Shielded. Nothing to say about this clear much except SST Red carried hard even though he is only 1/5.

R3: Psychic lacks a strong NFE dps, so Helena came to rescue! Had to reset a few times to avoid Close Combat spam.

R4: LCalem performance was better than I had expected. Cant pre sync tho because of the lack of optimal teammates. Torchic was there for offensive buffs and burn. Leaf doing Leaf thing. This was first try because Koga loved spamming item and weak moves.

R5: Metal Burst stronk.

I might not do themed clears during LG weeks

[whole flame]

You planning to streak LG this time?

Gakon overcoming his fear of the fire chicken, i'm so proud

[vocal flax]

im sure that damn fire chicken wont move!

im expecting ~70 streaks this time

||at least||

[whole flame]

Holy shit

Last time we got Moltres I only hit 41. I really burned out after I exhausted my weather setters and some flinch teams

[vocal flax]

this time im the one who burn the bird to ash

[fervent mortar]

Using Bisharp for NFE theme feels like cheating lol

Can't wait for BW remake where Grimsley gets a Kingambit in the rematch

[vocal flax]

idw to do another offtype

i considered adding Raihan to the roster before the champion fight but nah

[fervent mortar]

[whole flame]

Through two stacks of Fire Guard x2?

[vocal flax]

If Flint can brute force it anyone can

Tho im running out of flincher. I need to properly plan my teams

Other than just copy paste teams from peoplr

[whole flame]

Flinchlocking the bird gives me so much anxiety

Funny because I flinchlocked Entei all the time

[vocal flax]

If you miss flinch on Entei, its not a big problem most of time

But on Moltres it means you have chosen death

[whole flame]

That's true! Which is why it's so stressful

Like if it's not a 100% flinch like SS Lyra then I don't trust my luck

I usually use SS Lyra to solo Latias but maybe this time I'll use her on Moltres?

[vocal flax]

I only have her 1/5 so Moltres is the place to use her

Even with 3/5 somehow i still prefer going for Moltres

A Moltres win means a lot

LG planning with Moltres

[elfin scaffold]

Broke from trying to beat Moltres

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

I have 3 more Latias teams than Moltres teams, but Uxie has 2 teams less than Moltres

Planning issue smh

[whole flame]

I throw everything at an excel sheet and imagine how plausible it is, then I try them later and see what sticks

if it's too easy, then I reset

[vocal flax]

That works but its time consuming

[vocal flax]

Anyway i found the culprit, its because of 2 duplicated Latias teams

Another problem is i still have some units left and i have to balance between 3 bosses

[whole flame]

because I know I'm too indecisive to settle on a fixed list of teams before LG even starts!

[vocal flax]

Just be more decisive smh

[whole flame]

I can't Also I'm too lazy to test teams beforehand

[vocal flax]

I dont test teams anymore if that team has proof of succeed i dont bother testing it again

[whole flame]

I don't have the same pain tolerance as the average LG madman so I have to test them to see if I want to deal with the RNG bullshit in a realistic scenario

I just... "test" them during LG instead, not during prep

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

I, too, test during LG, more specifically the final day

[vocal flax]

You better not forgetting the LG

[whole flame]

Actually I understand if people want to forget this LG

Moltres and shitty guaranteed deluxe cookie does not make a great combination

But think of the candy coins!

[vocal flax]

Yeah!!!

these are pairs that i havent planned to fit in any team yet. i will wait until BP and ticket pool update to further plan (im 100% getting Pal Mallow)

[whole flame]

EX Drake

[vocal flax]

I EXed him because i wanted to have the whole Hoenn E4 EXed

[whole flame]

Me with only Sidney EXd

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

cant believe SS Erika and Tech Meowth duo took 40+ attempts

im crying with tear of joy

[whole flame]

The more I look at these SS Erika duos the more tempted I am to just use Lodge Blue with her

[vocal flax]

do it

[modest narwhal]

Don't do it

[vocal flax]

it makes the duo less painful

[modest narwhal]

Preserve your sanity, Nov

[vocal flax]

[whole flame]

I solo'd Moltres with SS Lyra as my very first streak, the sanity is long gone

[vocal flax]

try SST Red solo next i dare you

[whole flame]

No

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

we know Chezei, you don't play till the very end

[vocal flax]

Chezei play Chezei's theme in every content

[modest narwhal]

[vocal flax]

Reached my first milestone. SS Erika duo drove me insane

Next milestone is 24th streak

[elfin scaffold]

good luck

solos

duos

[vocal flax]

Imagine soloing the bird

[elfin scaffold]

a fire chicken lost to two ice cream cones

[vocal flax]

the ice cream tasted bad :<

[fluid pecan]

Woah bertha duo
How many attempts did that take?

[vocal flax]

around 10, its an easy duo if only burn or crit rng screws you

[whole flame]

pog, pal bea solo

[vocal flax]

you have to keep Hitmonchan alive till bar 3

[vocal flax]

thats the only fire chicken solo i can do

[whole flame]

is EX necessary for bertha?

[vocal flax]

yes

she needs the bulk

[whole flame]

damn it

[vocal flax]

Winston what is this reaction 😭

[whole flame]

"easy" isn't something you should trust coming from an LG streaker

[vocal flax]

hey im not rafa

i should have said "straight forward" instead

[whole flame]

you're aiming for, what, 70ish streaks on (arguably) the hardest LG rotation we have

I think that's crazy

last time we had Moltres I only hit 41

[vocal flax]

actually i could do 90 streaks or even higher since i still have a lot of unused pairs

[whole flame]

Wonder how far I could go if I had your roster

[elfin scaffold]

if you had mine or chezei's roster...

[modest narwhal]

I would love to see what someone with more dedication could do with my roster tbh

[whole flame]

I mean I myself know I'm not fully optimizing my roster in LG

Someone with more skill and patience can definitely take my roster to a higher streak than I can do

[vocal flax]

my friends said i can do over 100 streaks if im willing to do every solo and most budget duos

with Chezei's roster i think i can do over 100 streaks comfortably

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

100 crispy cookies to get Snow Shelter

[whole flame]

Agreed. Just look at Poce

Man reaches 100 without doing duos and solos

[modest narwhal]

But can you do it without any eggmons

[whole flame]

stop being a sissy and raise your eggmons 🥱

[modest narwhal]

I have a few eggmons! I only use them for egg events because I'm lazy

[vocal flax]

smh

[brazen token]

TIL that Doom Desire does count for Hem In 9

Also, this: Phantom Force/Fly/Shadow Force lets you avoid Ripple Effect 9

[vocal flax]

oh hi Kairi

also being in Phantom Force and its variants presence stage doesnt receive heal from Synchro Healing

i havent tested if Potion works on presence stage or not

[vocal flax]

Got to 20 streaks already, the reason my progress is slow because of these shitty runs (except Melony's but it requires insane rng to get spdef debuff or MG2 lucky skill but i havent got it so far). I hate sleep chaining the fire chicken

[whole flame]

i can't sleepchain 2v1 for the life of me

[restive surge]

Wow eggmon clears although i collect shiny eggmons but i never use them much

[vocal flax]

Weather eggmon are surely lifesavers on Moltres. Luckily i have all of them

[vocal flax]

Smh go practice it, its easier than it sounds. Although its hard here since Moltres forces bringing weather

[whole flame]

I can't get the rotation down, usually

3v1 sleepchain is easy. 2v1 my rotations are all over the place lol

[vocal flax]

For normal stage i usually do sleep move -> sleeper's move -> dmg dealer's move -> wait for dmg number to appear -> repeat

Thats the concept, although Moltres has more unusual sleep pattern

And you dont have a lot of room for mistakes

[whole flame]

lessen sleep 9 right?

I'm used to chaining tapu bulu and azelf with lessen 8

oh huh moltres has lessen sleep 8

[vocal flax]

Idk i just conclude it from my experience

[whole flame]

when you do sleeper's move -> dmg dealer move, does Moltres not wake up?

[vocal flax]

I can 2v1 sleep in other stages just fine

It shouldnt wake up ||most of the time||

[whole flame]

also does it matter if the move is an attack move or a TM? cause animation length is different

[vocal flax]

I have to practice sleep chaining more on Moltres or else im giving up 4 Moltres clears

[vocal flax]

The animation plays a big part, but you should only use item moves at the first turns, then you follow the pattern

If you use a non attack move, try to time sleep precisely

[whole flame]

so like with Ramos for example

once you run out of TMs, you go sleep powder -> bullet seed -> damage dealer move?

[vocal flax]

Yup

[elfin scaffold]

Don’t raise non shiny eggmons

[vocal flax]

Unless its useless like strike Tauros

[elfin scaffold]

I’ll allow striker Perrserker

[vocal flax]

Good

[vocal flax]

Me struggling to do 21 streaks while skippingmud casually did 50 streaks: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/16l9rYoOjeoAf0hqqTC2POHwUd3QOrJ2d0T_yvVFGlhU/htmlview?pli=1

[elfin scaffold]

50

that Hugh and Lana duo..

[vocal flax]

Thats not too painful tbh

[whole flame]

Lana is really good to bruteforce Moltres

[vocal flax]

I still have her unused because im waiting for 3/5 Gordie to make a team with her and SS Red

If i cant get 3/5 Gordie during this LG i used Red and him on Uxie

[vocal flax]

24 streaks milestone reached! Next is 36 streaks

||nov dont look at the 21st streak||

[sterile pendant]

how do y’all have the patience to fight moltres more than 3 times

[vocal flax]

Because of the resources

I have a lot of EX waiting pairs

[restive surge]

I only have patience to fight it 5 times

[elfin scaffold]

3 times is my limit this time

[modest narwhal]

My limit is 0 for now

[whole flame]

stubbornness and tenacity

[vocal flax]

[restive surge]

I keep sanity by only using faves when doing Gauntlet

Kinda why i dislike high score

[whole flame]

Gakon how are you so quick

your streaks almost doubled mine

I did like 6 wins per day and felt like crying

[elfin scaffold]

Gakon is broke from LG

[vocal flax]

I had so much free time on weekend

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

they're all favs

[vocal flax]

Yes i like everyone except Melli

yesterday I didn't do LG as much as I would have liked. Was doing froakie community day

[vocal flax]

Just give up PoGO like me

[elfin scaffold]

Rank 1 ultra league Greninja says no

[vocal flax]

PoGO pvp my hatred

[vocal flax]

I have EXed 2 units for this LG so far but i dont regret it

[whole flame]

who?

I've only EX'd masked royal. he was on my waitlist anyway so it's fine

I need to keep spare materials for 3 EX's for my bet!

[vocal flax]

SS Misty and Lucian, they need EX for easier duo

[vocal flax]

You didnt use TMR for Latias?

[vocal flax]

did a huge overhaul to Moltres teams and Uxie teams, i just hope i have enough time to speedrun 96~ streaks

[restive surge]

96 streaks on a moltres, latias, uxie gauntlet? mad respect

[vocal flax]

Thank you i just want to get more resources

[restive surge]

I thought of farming pink cookies by repeating 16 streaks, but it feels taxing

[vocal flax]

You want to fight Moltres again?

[whole flame]

96? Holy shit Gakon

Yknow, for this LG, you miiiight just hit top 100. Or shy of it

96 means fighting Moltres 33 times and I have probably around 15 weather setters? The rest will have to be flinchlocks and I don't know if I have that kind of willpower

But who am I kidding, I haven't even reached 70 streaks on a non-Moltres LG

[vocal flax]

I still have to do tons of heavy rng runs

I still have a lot of team for Latias, but ran out of pairs on Uxie and Moltres

If anni drops more Moltres counters i can go for 100 streaks

[whole flame]

Moltres is such a bottleneck

Uxie is straightforward but ig there are only so many status conditions/status change units

[vocal flax]

Uxie is not an issue if you have a lot of units to counter its gimmicks

[restive surge]

I gave up, i just gonna hopium with my 117 pink cookies...hope future faves wanting cs2 will only use some of it

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

96 wtf

[vocal flax]

Thats if im not screwed by rng

[elfin scaffold]

If you’re going for 96, you might as well go for 100

[vocal flax]

Thats my plan: waiting for new pairs and spotlight pulls like Shauna and 3/5 Colress

But fighting Moltres twice is painful

[elfin scaffold]

fighting Moltres 34 times

[vocal flax]

Actually its 483838 times

[fluid pecan]

Gakon has gone insane

[elfin scaffold]

Help me convert Gakon to HS event player

[fervent mortar]

hs sucks

[fluid pecan]

Both hs and lg suck

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

No

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

[brazen token]

Yeah. 83 is my stopping point. If only I have more Move Levels on my Flinch roster.

[vocal flax]

You are so fast

Im still at 28

[elfin scaffold]

Gakon, you are so fast, you're at 28!!!

[vocal flax]

No not me

[whole flame]

yes gakon keep banging your head against a wall in LG with me

then when electric HS rolls around we hit 180k and dip and watch the others reach high scores, so it's equal!

[elfin scaffold]

[whole flame]

meanwhile me at 19

[elfin scaffold]

nov i expect you to get to 38 by the end of tomorrow my time

[whole flame]

when is "tomorrow your time"

I do around 6 clears a day or else I'll go crazy

[fluid pecan]

An hour and 12 minutes

[modest narwhal]

19 clears in 72 minutes

Though Rancer did say end of tomorrow his time

[whole flame]

[elfin scaffold]

i know nov is from the future

so plenty of time

[whole flame]

expect me to reach 38 in.... 72 hours

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

gakon going to 56 win streak in a couple days

[vocal flax]

Now i have to deal with flinch teams on Moltres so the progress might be a lot slower

Roark's team is driving me insane

[warm ocean]

Thing is, I always have the potential to hit 100 streak. The problems are planning time and execution

[vocal flax]

How is the air up there @brazen token

[elfin scaffold]

213th!!

[vocal flax]

hey i took screenshot of that hours ago

[elfin scaffold]

So you’re still 213th

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

Another milestone reached! Hopefully i can reach 48 streaks in the next 2 days

Moltres continues driving me insane even with less rng heavy teams

[whole flame]

😱

How was the gauge in that Lodge Silver team?

[vocal flax]

actually its pretty good

i grid Racing Rain on both Clay and Winona

Clay also has DC2 to help setting up

also i had to work with +2 crit Silver unless you are ultra lucky to get 2 procs

because you need to oneshot bar 2 under rain (Interference Sync 5 is not needed)

[elfin scaffold]

Even managed to fit a Kalos MC theme in there against Uxie

[whole flame]

Yeah, Silver's crit buffs is cringe

[whole flame]

How many sync buffs?

[vocal flax]

hmm lets see...
Winona first sync to setup rain
then Clay to get Sync Burst
then Clay again
then Silver to skip bar 2

so 3 sync buffs

[vocal flax]

tbh i really want to use their alts together

[whole flame]

Clay tanks, right?

Also i was initially planning to use ss blue/may/eggmon with mud slap but maybe your May team is better

Maybe I can use SS Blue with a no rain team...

[vocal flax]

yup

[vocal flax]

im planning to use SS Blue with striker Golem and tech Perrserker

it sounds painful

[whole flame]

Strike eggmon.....

I've never used it

[vocal flax]

I dont have much ontype dmg dealer left

Omg Phoebe Roark Tech Aerodactyl team is ass

Flinch suddenly disappears on bar 2

[vocal flax]

Missing spotlights:
2/5 Colress
2/5 Hugh
2/5 Courtney
0/5 Shauna
0/5 Gordie
0/5 Drasna
0/5 Olympia

I want Gordie the most. If i only get him below 3/5, i have one more Uxie team. If he is above 3/5, i have one more Moltres team

[elfin scaffold]

No Shauna or Gordie

[vocal flax]

My luck with spotlight is so bad. Took me a year and half to get 3/5 Bertha

[restive surge]

Im missing melony, drasna, olympia

[whole flame]

then don't ontype

[vocal flax]

True, i just switched to 1/5 Anni Steven

Dont want to waste resources on strike Golem

[elfin scaffold]

Don’t have two spare strike candies?

[vocal flax]

Yes but they go to Vilda first

[fervent mortar]

I was trying to find out who was variety hilda

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

48 streaks reached

Im going to cry since 90% of remaining Moltres teams are flinch fest

[elfin scaffold]

Don’t forget to save some energy for next month’s big event

[vocal flax]

Nah i just do 180k then

[elfin scaffold]

The sad thing is that I don’t think I can reach 300k because of my electric roster

[vocal flax]

Me too, cant compete with rat users

[elfin scaffold]

I have rats. But depends on the parameters

6 supports with holiday jasmine later this month

[vocal flax]

HJasmine is insane

She tanks like a champ while having big heal

Well SEUN is useless in HS since all opponents are offtype

[elfin scaffold]

Haven’t seen 3/5 grid, I’ll check how many support candy I have soon lol

[vocal flax]

2/5 is already good tbh

You better not looking at the LG leaderboard

[whole flame]

[vocal flax]

Oof

These people are slowly climbing up

[elfin scaffold]

didn't know skippingmud was that into LG

how competitive is the top 10 usually

[vocal flax]

i just know some Japanese players will slowly take over the leaderboard

[brazen token]

Naomi is a consistent top 10er.

[elfin scaffold]

My crowning achievement in LG was a 25 win streak

I’ve peaked

[whole flame]

Naomi reaches top 10 very early but since she's only doing solos and duos, she falls from top 10 later on

She could've done many more streaks if she did trio teams

[vocal flax]

She just reached 131 streaks which are very good.

Im expecting her to be within top 20 at the end of LG at least

[whole flame]

oh yeah i'm sure she will

[warm ocean]

Ty for reminding me of that team

[vocal flax]

That team sucks

Good news: i can do 97 streaks with the current roster. If the new free pairs can setup weather i can make a team with LRosa and Sophocles

Or brute force without weather

[fluid pecan]

Sophocles has flinch, you don’t need weather

[vocal flax]

The thing is LRosa has no multiplier under sun

2 sync buff Rosa's sync with no def debuff did 14k on bar 2

[fluid pecan]

Just keep flinching smh
LRosa has flinch too, so it should be ez

[vocal flax]

I would rather getting to 400k on HS

[static mural]

Flinching is an awful process

Gl with the rest of your runs

[vocal flax]

thank you

i was really shocked that i did Crasher Wake team on the first try

Wake is goat

[static mural]

Nice!

Who'd you use with him?

[vocal flax]

SS Blue and Gardenia, quite overkill support side, but i need buffs for Gardenia to do damage

[whole flame]

Gardenia needs to be hard carried

Maybe i should try staggering brendan

[vocal flax]

Preserve your sanity

[static mural]

I'm not sure if I'm gonna use Brendan at all

I feel done with gauntlet for today

[whole flame]

I still have some good tanks that can take Moltres's hits under sun!

And i'm not saving all these flinchers for nothing!

Damn but i'm low on Uxie counters... Tempted to move Will to Uxie now

[vocal flax]

You can pair him with a flincher, im going to pair him with Aaron

[vocal flax]

How about eggmon?

Like tech Charizard, tech Cloyster

[static mural]

That's true

I think I'll just put him in the Noland Aaron duo

I'm really not trying to do that duo

[vocal flax]

That duo will drive you insane

I wanted to try Noland SS Hilbert tech Scyther team, but i used sup Scyther somewhere

[static mural]

I saw that support Magmar can buff speed if you have that

[whole flame]

Ah i'm raising a shiny support charmander rn but i'll look into it

[static mural]

But the tech one does offer burn of course, if you need that

[whole flame]

I still have one eggmon that knows infestation, i forgot which one it is

Status conditions are easy. I have many status condition eggmons thanks to Cobalion last LG. Status change...

If only SS Hilbert could apply his rebuff!

[vocal flax]

I used the tech one on Uxie. I should have used sup Seadra instead and save tech Scyther on Hilbert team because it needs another debuff source

[vocal flax]

Who is it? Venomoth or Vileplume?

[vocal flax]

And his debuff tiles are not tied to weakness so i could go more budget with him

[static mural]

Yeah I should use tech Scyther with my SS Hilbert. Just need to figure out a support still

[vocal flax]

Noland is not a support but he tanks well and has good gauge. After mega evolve he unlocks Impervious

[static mural]

I'll consider that

69 wins is my goal for this gauntlet cuz I never got that far. My highest rn is 67.

This gauntlet is too much for me to go much farther past that

[vocal flax]

Yeah i understand. Moltres is such a bs challenge

[whole flame]

Hmmm i believe i have both

I have the shiny vileplume, i forgot the role

[vocal flax]

Shiny is tech, who has Stun Spore and Sleep Powder

The support one has Infestation

[vocal flax]

Wait! I still have BP Morty and Tech Blastoise not planned yet, not sure why did i ignore them

Another good news: i beat Moltres with Brendan team first try

oops sorry for ping

[elfin scaffold]

must have been the mega

[vocal flax]

But he 3 times in a row on bar 3 luckily flinch god was in my side

Aaron goat

[elfin scaffold]

you better beelieve it

[modest narwhal]

But he has a bee, not a goat

[vocal flax]

So he is boat. ||Be(e)st Of All Time||

[modest narwhal]

[static mural]

[whole flame]

brendan and aaron? interestinggg

aaron with staggering on Attack Order I assume

[vocal flax]

Thats right

They can duo but i slapped in a speed buff eggmon to make it easier

[whole flame]

[vocal flax]

I dont need sup Seadra elsewhere

[warm ocean]

CMarnie:

[vocal flax]

I dont have her

[vocal flax]

60 streaks cleared! Yall will notice my teams starting to be overkill because im lazy

Also there is an new addition among these pairs. Guess who

[whole flame]

Damn gakon is on fire

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

have you seen natural sunlight the last few days

[fluid pecan]

I’m sure gakon has had enough sunlight the past few days from moltres

[elfin scaffold]

gonna be like the midwest US with the weather changing every minute

[fluid pecan]

[vocal flax]

The sun here is more bright than Moltres' sun

[modest narwhal]

mood tbh

[vocal flax]

The addition is ||EX Elio. My third EX for this LG||

[elfin scaffold]

|| well, Elio there ||

[fluid pecan]

You didn’t have him exed before? That’s an (e)L(io)

[vocal flax]

i just rarely use him

[modest narwhal]

You'd probably use him more if he still had Popplio
