Gakon's Academy Sonia Waiting Room

[vocal flax]

||thats the bigger reason to use him even less||

[fluid pecan]

[dreamy sorrel]

He was a great early carry for supp ex

[modest narwhal]

He's great for learning how to sleep chain

[vocal flax]

if only he had 100 acc Sing

[modest narwhal]

Troublemaker Lucky Skill

[vocal flax]

it caps at 90 acc ||Sing has 45 acc||

[modest narwhal]

I didn't know that

[vocal flax]

i accidentally used sup Sandslash on Latias, now i cant use tech Sandslash on Uxie so i lost a streak

hoping one of new BP pairs have confusion or trap

[whole flame]

Third already? I'm only at one EX

I need to keep some EX resources for my bet

[vocal flax]

who did you EX?

[whole flame]

[vocal flax]

72 streaks reached im rushing fr

I have just slept for 5 hours because i spent my morning grinding LG

[static mural]

That first Moltres clear there is exactly what I did last time it was around

Got too tired of attempting the duo

[vocal flax]

Yeah its even more challenging without Stoic on Calem

[vocal flax]

If one of new free units have reliable status change or i get Shauna at 2+/5 and 1/5 Gordie at least i can maintain the streaks

or pull SS Ethan

Actually i still have BP Morty unused but i will save him for now incase i dont get 3/5 Gordie

If you guys are interested i will tell more about my plan

[whole flame]

I am, i'm interested

Last i checked you're rank 28 and it's so wild

[vocal flax]

||im 26 now ||

Okay so yall already know about my mistake when planning, so i basically lost 3 streaks.
But i still have some units unused, notably BP Morty. With him i can enable another streak on either Uxie or Moltres, or fix the wrong planned Uxie team, but with ticket pool updates, depends on my luck i can enable another streak with Gordie.

If is 3/5, i can do SS Red/Lana/Gordie on Moltres, but if he is only 2/5 and below, i do that team on Uxie instead and move BP Morty team to Moltres. And if i dont get him at all im fucked and have to hope for new units having reliable status change

Back to the wrong planned Uxie team, that team is Hau/SS Elesa/a status change unit. Hopefully someone from new and accessible units have a reliable status change, or i get 2+/5 Shauna for Attack Trap

[whole flame]

Imagine having shauna at all

[vocal flax]

hopefully Kalos tickets treat me well

[elfin scaffold]

Gakon I have never seen you go this hard on LG before

[whole flame]

Ikr! It's scary how high you can go if you actually put the effort to it

glares at all of you with bigger rosters than mine

[elfin scaffold]

Recovery mode from HS event

[whole flame]

[elfin scaffold]

HS and solos and duos in CS seem to be my thing right now

[whole flame]

I'll stick to LG and occasional CS challenges

[vocal flax]

did you know that i did 86 streaks on LG6?

i was busy past months so i couldnt do high streaks, until now

[vocal flax]

me2

[elfin scaffold]

No I did not know that

I’m expecting 120 win streak

[vocal flax]

now you know

[elfin scaffold]

My expectations for you is sky high now

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

Hey guys, good news. I missed Sup Oddish having Infestation.

Bad news: its weak to Psychic, but i can edit some teams to make it not die

[whole flame]

I have both support and tech vileplume, don't know which one I should use

[vocal flax]

depends on which you lack more, status change or status condition

i would pick sup Vileplume since it has SpDef buffs too

[vocal flax]

Another 12 streaks completed im close to reaching my goal

Also 1/5 PMarnie sucks

yall can see me on the first page

[fluid pecan]

5/5 Redlax

[vocal flax]

at the trade of 0/5 CBlue

[elfin scaffold]

Wait for rerun

10/5 Redlax

[vocal flax]

never touch a Redlax banner again

[elfin scaffold]

Red is inevitable

[fluid pecan]

Can confirm, once i tried to pull ingo and ||red showed up 3 times in 1 multi||

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

dont let nov see this

[modest narwhal]

All these Reds, meanwhile I had to pity SS Red on his LG rerun with SS Cynthia

[warm ocean]

waitaminnute where's the PMarnie taem.?

also stealing taht fallister team

[vocal flax]

Originally i used her on Hop's team, but that team hardly has debuff and slight gauge issue

You can use any +2 spdef eggmon in Allister's team. Should be easier with Vigilance on Allister

[warm ocean]

Support Dewgong

[whole flame]

🤝

[vocal flax]

97 streaks reached!!!! now i just wait for new batch of units

Thank you yall for the support past days its fun talking with yall about LG and suffering

[vocal flax]

here are my unused pairs

[modest narwhal]

You have an easy Moltres clear with Pallow, Candice, and May, trust me

[vocal flax]

that team will def have gauge issue tho, but i already have a plan for Moltres team

also Pal Mallow is on another Latias team

[modest narwhal]

[static mural]

Nice to see Iris there

And congrats on your streak 🎉 I'm having a hard time continuing mine rn, but I'll get back to it eventually

[vocal flax]

thank you

oh whats the problem? i guess Moltres eh?

[static mural]

Moltres and Latias really. I planned most of my teams out already, it's mostly just me lacking the will to continue rn

And then also my last Latias run truly pissed me off so I'd just rather not deal with it anymore rn

[vocal flax]

oof hope you get over it soon

how many streaks are you aiming to?

[static mural]

69

And thanks

[vocal flax]

nice number

[static mural]

Lmao yea

My last highest was 67

2 more and I'll be satisfied

[vocal flax]

this LG is a nightmare to climb high streaks

hope Tornadus Entei Azelf being the next LG lineup

[whole flame]

insane

haven't streaked anything today...

[vocal flax]

go do it

its fun

[static mural]

[elfin scaffold]

[whole flame]

I was out the whole day

[vocal flax]

[whole flame]

one more week before uni starts, I'll see how much I can do

I have so many weather setters left!!!

[static mural]

My classes start tomorrow, so maybe I really should do some today

It is only 2 classes, but still

[elfin scaffold]

School

[vocal flax]

[warm ocean]

oh yhea... that hau team...

[vocal flax]

That team was a bit hard tbh. My Elesa doesnt have Vigilance so she had to dodge more moves, especially Iron Tails and Shadow Ball

[vocal flax]

So I have EXed 4 units during this LG:

1. Bertha
2. SS Misty
3. Lucian
4. Elio

All of them except SS Misty had been in my EX wishlist for a long time so i don't regret EXing them

For SS Misty its purely for LG purpose

My EX wishlist:
Lodge Lillie
Barry
Lodge Jasmine
Wallace
BP Morty
Koga
Gordie
Lodge Blue
Lodge Elesa
BP Janine
Selene
Alder
Event Bugsy
BP Surge

[elfin scaffold]

BP Surge for electric HS event

event bugsy

[vocal flax]

He is so bad that he needs EX stats

[elfin scaffold]

don't remind me

[static mural]

I've been considering him too

Who knows I might use him more in general

[vocal flax]

[warm ocean]

@vocal flax how tf did you do fallister + elesa? I always die on bar 3

[vocal flax]

Did Allister die after inflicting rebuff?

If yes, his job is done

Mine doesnt have Vigilance so he dies earlier

[warm ocean]

fallister died before b3

[vocal flax]

Still on bar 3

Something went wrong then

[warm ocean]

I mean, I used supp dewgong, but it shouldn't affect much

[vocal flax]

Check the pins in my thread, i have their grids documented

[warm ocean]

maybe adrenaline saved your ass

[vocal flax]

Nah im sure the lucky skill doesnt matter, aside from Vigilance

[warm ocean]

nvm I got an outdated grid

[vocal flax]

You can use the full nuke grid on Elesa, because during my run i only used her TM once

So First Aid 4 is abundant

[warm ocean]

wel since fa4 is technically skippable, I got brawn sycnc and xatk mpr

[restive surge]

Gakon, gauntlet ends in September 4...so you can add more streaks with new bp pairs later

[vocal flax]

Thats my plan! Im waiting for Gordie spook

[restive surge]

Probably better than various eggmon alternative

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

Very true

[restive surge]

Also they probably arrived here being able to EX even at the start

As all lodge and 4* bp gets EX

[vocal flax]

Yeah if they have interesting kit or someone i like i will EX them

But im tight on EXing rn

[restive surge]

Well we still have a couple of pair up event and free 10 pulls

[vocal flax]

Im saving to 5* new 4* pairs

[restive surge]

Nice, i probably can only 5* 2 pairs

[vocal flax]

Hope free 100 pull treat us well

[restive surge]

Yep, still searching for that lost Melony

[vocal flax]

I got 3/5 Melony quickly, but Gordie

[fluid pecan]

I got 3/5 Gordie quickly, but Melony

[vocal flax]

I was salty when i saw someone getting 3/5 Shauna, 3/5 Gordie and 3/5 Colress in a multi

[fluid pecan]

Meanwhile i’ve gotten a single 5* from the all free tix so far

||It was ||

[vocal flax]

I have only got so far

[fluid pecan]

Woah that’s like 30 5*, nice

[restive surge]

DeNa helping Johto EBE clears

[fluid pecan]

||Unless you meant just 1 5*, which is more likely but less funny||

[whole flame]

i'm saving all the free tickets so I can pull at the same time and be disappointed all at once

i've used almost half my roster in gauntlet anyway so i don't think getting extra move levels on certain units will help

like, I already used my 2/5 Lucian....

currently trying kiawe + EX striker?? on Latias and I just hate how frail Kiawe is. seems like I need a shit ton of Potion MPRs

tried kiawe + mina but the problem persists, I think I need an EX striker to kill sides easily

[vocal flax]

I used him with Lisia, non EX

Bar 2 is a huge problem, you need Stoic on him

[vocal flax]

3/5 Colress came home today also despite Gakon having no suffer on LG anymore, this week has no theme planned because of irl stuff but i already have planned a big theme next week, so stay tuned!

[iron olive]

O 3/5 and you have been playing ages! My odds just went down significantly

[vocal flax]

I have bad luck with recent spotlight

[elfin scaffold]

i'm doing the free tickets every other day

don't wanna pull a chest and forget to use the free tickets

[vocal flax]

I do free pulls everyday to avoid getting tempted by KriSS

[modest narwhal]

I'm pretty sure I forgot mine last year

[elfin scaffold]

time to add "open your 100 free pulls" to the Chezei reminders

[modest narwhal]

I'm gonna do all mine on the last day

[vocal flax]

Just dont forget to do it

Or

[modest narwhal]

[whole flame]

I do mine on the last day too so I'll be sure to pester Chezei to make sure she doesn't forget

[vocal flax]

Good plan !

[elfin scaffold]

in b4 nov and chezei both forget

[whole flame]

that... sure is a possibility

[vocal flax]

got Appllow today, now im waiting for anni datamine to decide to get NY Dawn or not

[fluid pecan]

Appllow

Mallowtun sounds like a metric unit of measurement

[vocal flax]

there are many other cursed names yall have come up with

[vocal flax]

if anni selects have these highlighted pairs, i will go for them instead of NY Dawn

[fluid pecan]

Discrimination against supports

[modest narwhal]

Discrimination against Dawn

[vocal flax]

she is a fav but i dont really need her much her kit is fun but she wants double candy which i cant afford atm

[vocal flax]

donate me 10 support candies then we talk

[vocal flax]

So i dont need Gordie to get to 100 streaks, since BP Barry has Attack Trap 4! I still want 3/5 Gordie tho

i will pull Champion Blue, and get Anni Skyla from the select (sorry Chezei i have to skip NY Dawn this time )

[static mural]

I will be going for Blue as well. Although Palmer really does interest me, other than that I really like him

[vocal flax]

Palmer is very good yeah, hope you get them early

[static mural]

Thanks, and you too

[vocal flax]

i guess im good with Fire and Psychic roster for the special CS

dont know if i can do monotype only this game, like the Grass CS in the past

[fervent mortar]

Mono psychic seems easy

Im more scared about fire lol

[vocal flax]

dont you only have 4 Fire tanks? RIP then

time to use tank Ethan

[fervent mortar]

With Serena or lodge Irida I dont necessarily need a tank

[vocal flax]

oh yeah Serena the cheat code

i havent mastered the technique of sleep chaining

[fervent mortar]

I havent either

Especially with her it's very weird

[vocal flax]

its just purely smashing buttons for me

[fervent mortar]

Yeah pretty much lol

[fluid pecan]

… moltres has impacted you

[fervent mortar]

I didnt streak this LG so no lol

[vocal flax]

good for u

[whole flame]

i thought you could 2v1 sleepchain consistently thanks to the bird

[elfin scaffold]

Are you even trying if you aren’t at 100 win streak

[vocal flax]

i havent done any 2v1 sleepchain on bird this time lol

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

[warm ocean]

me when the planning:

[whole flame]

Maybe in a year or so i'll reach it

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

or maybe the next lineup

[elfin scaffold]

100 win streak with regirock, cress, and moltres?

[vocal flax]

i wont do pass 10 streaks in that lineup

[elfin scaffold]

so we'll be tied with same win streak???

[vocal flax]

[whole flame]

Latios entei bulu and maybe i will

[vocal flax]

Thats also the first lineup #1 has over 200 streaks

[modest narwhal]

inb4 they release a new Tapu that's even harder than Moltres

[whole flame]

Maybe someday I'll reach 100 streaks but as of right now I just don't have the skill and patience and tenacity and energy to do so with my current roster

Someone better can take my roster to much higher streaks I believe

[modest narwhal]

I'd give you my roster if I could

[elfin scaffold]

someone would get 1st place with Chezei's roster lol

[whole flame]

I'd steal your roster if I could

I wonder how many LGs NC Red can solo...

[modest narwhal]

Probably all of them

[elfin scaffold]

thinking about LG viability already

[whole flame]

Would be funny if he tops the tierlist alongside SST Red

[modest narwhal]

I would be surprised if he didn't tbh

[whole flame]

I look at Ariana and think "ooooh Uxie counter" and I kid you not, I'm considering selecting her instead of whats-his-face Archer

[elfin scaffold]

at the top, you're just seeing Red

[whole flame]

Even though Ariana is just Lucy

[elfin scaffold]

meanwhile, i think of type High Scores..

[modest narwhal]

I think of which girls are the cutest

[fluid pecan]

Tapu Fini
Zone setting is rare so it’ll be difficult to override fairy zone

[modest narwhal]

That's exactly what I was thinking

Or having to override E Terrain from Koko

[whole flame]

Overriding e terrain wouldn't be much different from overriding grassy terrain, no? Except you can't sleepcheese

[modest narwhal]

I think there are more units who do e terrain than grassy terrain, though I could be wrong on that

And if you make it Moltres levels of difficult...

Compare that to the 3 grass setters (before sprigatito)

[modest narwhal]

There is Psychic Terrain from a handful too

But imagine having to set it up multiple times in order to do any meaningful damage

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

my current saving plan

[fervent mortar]

My current saving plan: there's no saving I spend all my gems this month

[vocal flax]

[fervent mortar]

If I didnt get SS Serena from her first run I'd be crying rn

[vocal flax]

wait you dont HAVE her?

[fervent mortar]

But unless the game really screws me over hard I should be able to get Palmer + 1 anni unit

I have her

[vocal flax]

nvm i just got a brainfart

[fervent mortar]

Lol

[vocal flax]

good luck

[fervent mortar]

Last time I had that many gems was when SS Serena was released lol

[vocal flax]

thankfully we knew about her ahead of time

[fervent mortar]

(I dont even have a pity, I have like 35k LOL)

[vocal flax]

i almost spent all of my gems on Anni Raihan lol

i just noticed that rancer left a on my thread reactions

[vocal flax]

If ticket pulls treat me well i can reach 105 streaks on LG
Update: i got very lucky

[vocal flax]

Here is the big theme for this week:
Remember the Battle Factory event during the Lucas/Kris/Bianca team event? I will reattempt the event with my updated roster!

How the event works: #events-board message (Since i have Event Victor as the only Field unit, if i land on him during generating pairs process, he will be counted as Field and thus doesnt affect the unit counts.

For those who dont know: In the process of randomly choosing units, there is chance of landing on "freebie", which let me choose any units of that role. For example: if i land "Freebie" when rolling for tech, im able to pick any tech unit i like

[vocal flax]

My roster for the challenge:
The chosen spotlight: Sonia
Strike: https://streamable.com/82m2cd
Tech: https://streamable.com/691z1r
Support: https://streamable.com/5b6js0

I will do the challenge after im done with LG

[elfin scaffold]

So you’re gonna do the challenge now?

[vocal flax]

nope i still have some teams left

[whole flame]

Oh holy shit that's so fun

[vocal flax]

Thats the only time i went past 15k

[elfin scaffold]

Same theme for fire weak?

[vocal flax]

No

I will try to do monotype instead

[elfin scaffold]

No doubt you will

[vocal flax]

[whole flame]

Awesome job on the 100 streaks!

That's insane

[static mural]

Yeah congrats

[vocal flax]

I havent said i was done yet

[static mural]

I know, but still. That's a lot of wins to get to in general.

[modest narwhal]

Especially on a Moltres Gauntlet

[static mural]

Right

[elfin scaffold]

Gakon going for 200

[modest narwhal]

I don't even know if I could hit 200 with my roster

[vocal flax]

200 is not possible top 1 is already 155 streaks

[modest narwhal]

I would say now it's a challenge but I'll save that energy for HS

[vocal flax]

Chezei try hard for HS?

[modest narwhal]

I might I have to compete with Runner

[vocal flax]

I will be cheering for ya

And rancer and Winston too, i heard Winston is also trying hard for the medal

[elfin scaffold]

Chezei already knows I'm not the competition

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

I was just thinking because Runner was number 1 last time! Everyone who tries is my competition

[fluid pecan]

Wait do i need to try that hard for the medal?

[modest narwhal]

Nah it should be easy this time. I doubt most people are going to do more than 180k if they got the medal last time

[vocal flax]

But can you compete with 3/5 rats users

This is one of the worst types HS to try hard if you lack best options of these types

[modest narwhal]

Winston has 3/5 SST Red and 1/5 Ash, I think he'll be fine

[vocal flax]

Oh?

And he has SS Hau too

[vocal flax]

I didnt know about that

[modest narwhal]

I didn't either until I checked lmao

Appreantly i cant switch to tech Ninetales unless i reset my LG streaks

[whole flame]

Yup!

I haven't used my ninetales line at all

[vocal flax]

so i have to complete my streaks asap

or else one of my sun setter got locked

alright, 1st battle of Fire CS monotype dont

cant believe LCalem needs too much carry

[vocal flax]

My LG journey is finally done! I could push to 105 streaks but Moltres is cringe

Fire CS here we go!

[elfin scaffold]

That’s like 2 novs worth of win streak!

Not summoning this month? could get a few more clears

[vocal flax]

@true linden can you add my streaks with my teams used in the pins of LG channel? Here is the doc of mine showing my detailed teams: https://tinyurl.com/GakonLGdoc

[true linden]

uh

tbh we kinda abandonned it?

nobody sent anything since it's just a copy of LG2

[vocal flax]

Woah

Nvm then

[fluid pecan]

No one cares about LG

[true linden]

i mean there's already a shiton of teams in there

people don't list anymore

since they have their teams listed

[vocal flax]

I plan to pull for Blue, but he doesnt help against Moltres sadly

[whole flame]

hey now I'm definitely well past half of Gakon's win streak

[vocal flax]

ic lol

[whole flame]

🫡

awesome job

[vocal flax]

Thanks

Now i have to the rest of Fire CS and my weekly theme lol

[whole flame]

what if you do your CS battle factory challenge..... on fire CS

[vocal flax]

I will consider this

If i dont get 2 weather units from random wheels i wont do the theme on Fire CS

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

Glacia and Red are very tricky!!!!!

[whole flame]

just keep blaine as a freebie 🥱

or ss erika

[elfin scaffold]

Glacia’s revenge for being a meme all this years

[vocal flax]

One more reason to hate her smh

[vocal flax]

But what if i cant roll Sonia???

[whole flame]

Then

[vocal flax]

I would rather saving my gacha luck for Blue

[vocal flax]

Fire CS monotype challenge

Vulpix has support role lol because i did the team before finishing my LG

I wish i could record my Glacia team. She was so tricky to clear without a proper tank and with 1/5 Vilda

[fervent mortar]

not using marley to counter red smh

wait you didn't use torchic at all

[whole flame]

Vulpix instead of ninetales?

[vocal flax]

Im too lazy to evolve it

[vocal flax]

When i did the first time i thought of saving Torchic for another team. Then it ended up unused lol

[vocal flax]

This is brilliant. Should have used Marley there

😭

[elfin scaffold]

Didn’t use Marley at all

Oh wait you did never mind

But not EX Marley

[vocal flax]

I want to EX Marley but there are higher priority than her after CBlue (when i got him), Colress and Courtney its her turn!

I have 2 lodge guests this month so I can make much faster progress to finish my EX wishlist

[vocal flax]

Here is my current EX wishlist

[fervent mortar]

I won't lie when I did it it wasn't on purpose LOL

[stuck drift]

Flannery is a proper tank!

[vocal flax]

she is not if she dies in 2 hits

[elfin scaffold]

Skill issue

[vocal flax]

Glacia hits too hard!

[elfin scaffold]

Glacia wasn’t my issue, my issue was Grimsley lol

[vocal flax]

SS May oneshot him so he wasnt an issue for me

[elfin scaffold]

May saying bye to Grimsley in your clear ^^

[vocal flax]

Maybe Blaziken kicked too hard

[vocal flax]

Got 2 new upgrades for my legendary roster

[modest narwhal]

[vocal flax]

He will be stuck at 1/5 forever

[modest narwhal]

Oof

[vocal flax]

Gotta 3/5 my favorite Alola supports first

[modest narwhal]

3/5 Variety Mallow?

[fluid pecan]

3/5 Lillietea?

[vocal flax]

3/5 SS Acerola first

[modest narwhal]

Acceptable

[vocal flax]

I dont even have VMallow

[modest narwhal]

Can't believe it smh my head should've pulled her

How dare you skip my faves

[vocal flax]

I have Pal Mallow instead

Damn it autocorrect

[vocal flax]

I finished LG before the vacation tho

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

After watching Lodge Leaf's performance i decided to add her to my EX wishlist

[vocal flax]

The Battle Factory is done! Each battle is 3k points (R1 only has 2k8 points) each with units from the chosen roster: #1053291896778264597 message

Here are the details of each round:

R1: LGloria is just a filler. Had to reset several times to get ideal move patter which Koga only used item moves to avoid Ingo getting knocked out easily. Sides were problem but Giovanni is goat.

R2: Spring Burgh hasten LSycamore's buffs and let Sycamore attack sooner. This took a fair amount of reset since Will loved spamming Sludge Bomb.

R3: Fortunately I won first try, Bruno only used weak moves and sides kept using items. Confusion helped a lot when dealing with sides. Fun fact: Selene was the tank.

R4: CBede is such an excellent tank. Another easy clear because of Bugsy's high nuke.

R5: This took some tries, Grimsley was there to steal stat buffs for free 100 points and acted as a flinch bot. The max move didnt crit but it was still able to knock out Lance presync.

[whole flame]

Selene was the tank?!

[vocal flax]

and she lived till the end!

[whole flame]

Why did you make her tank you monster 😭

[vocal flax]

idk, i only realized in the middle of battle

[vocal flax]

The wheel gave me too many Grass types lol

[vocal flax]

Welcoming Kalos CS with 5 offtype teams

All except R5 were straight forward, although I was forced to do R4 post sync (sorry pre sync truther ).

R5 was funny. If Diantha spams 2 Close Combat, Shauna dies. If Recoil Remover doesnt proc at least once, Hugh dies. If I fail doing quad queue, its a reset because Diantha sync hits hard This was painful to clear but seeing Hugh's sync was satisfying

[fervent mortar]

smh off type

but you used hugh so you're excused

[vocal flax]

Hugh the goat

I would wait for another Normal Zone setter aside from Palmer because he will be the carry instead of Hugh

[modest narwhal]

Just have him sit there and look pretty. That's what I did with SS Erika during the Grass CS

[fervent mortar]

just have him kill sides

https://tenor.com/view/thinking-hmm-emoji-smiley-thinking-emoji-gif-17366754

[vocal flax]

he kills himself first tho

[fervent mortar]

I was saying Palmer

Hence the gif

[vocal flax]

I might consider again after seeing his showcases. Probably wait for his rerun if he is more cracked than my expectation

[fervent mortar]

Smh imagine skipping palmer

Shame

Goth girls steal this week CS's spotlight

This would be 5-Marnie CS run if I have Champion Marnie, but its okay because I had a chance to showcase my newst EX addition: Marley she tanked Malva's Flare Blizts pretty well despite only having +3 Def.

Drasna and Diantha run were hardest stages. The left Flygon in Drasna stage kept using Heat Wave so I had to change my strat: let Colress' sync deny it. After that it was smooth sailing. Accuracy debuffs made Toxic miss.

Diantha fight was annoying. Originally I tried using SS Brendan, LMarnie and May but she hit too hard, so I switched to this team. 1/5 Oleana put a lot of work on the mid while LMarnie slowly chipped sides. The Master Passive was shown to be useful there when Bede ate multiple Close Combat just fine, tho Oleana's debuffs did help.

idk but i like writing essays for my clears

Here is the next week theme: ||initial 4* and below only||

[modest narwhal]

Always love seeing EX Marley

[vocal flax]

Have you EXed yours?

[modest narwhal]

[fervent mortar]

[whole flame]

i'm rank 390

[vocal flax]

[static mural]

Same here

[vocal flax]

both of yall have high and respectable ranking, especially in this nightmare lineup

[whole flame]

pretty proud of my achievement this LG

[vocal flax]

yall have suffered from the bird too much

[static mural]

Definitely

[elfin scaffold]

Why fight the Moltres when you can have the Moltres

[lucid plover]

[vocal flax]

Where gems

[vocal flax]

can yall suggest me a theme around this lad?

[whole flame]

all male protags clear

champions only clear

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

Champion only seems way easier, but i will try doing both

[modest narwhal]

Buddy moves only

[vocal flax]

i have exactly 15 units lol

[modest narwhal]

Perfect!

[fervent mortar]

Mono ice

[modest narwhal]

I almost said that myself

[vocal flax]

[whole flame]

perfect

I only have 11 bmove units...

[fervent mortar]

you have more than me

[whole flame]

oh huh i also have 14 ice

[vocal flax]

just pull more smh

[fervent mortar]

in fact you have 2 more than me

[vocal flax]

b-but most of them sucks

[whole flame]

after the ultra kantrio shaft? and our miserable gem count? i might zen for the rest of the year

[fervent mortar]

wait you guys have b moves

soon to be 10

[vocal flax]

okay i lied but Wulfric and Brycen are literally trash lol (Dont let Tai see this)

[fervent mortar]

smh smh i managed to use all of them for the ice pasio cs

[vocal flax]

you are really something

[modest narwhal]

I did use all of them for Ice Pasio CS

Brycen surprised me actually

Wulfric still sucks though

[vocal flax]

i should rename this thread to Wulfric Sucks but Tai will ban me immediately

[modest narwhal]

Also I didn't use three Ice units during the CS: V Lorelei, who I don't have, Ghetsis, because I hate him, and BP Candice, because I think it's funny that all my BP units are still level 1

[modest narwhal]

Hey I still don't have Red

[vocal flax]

okay you can stay

[vocal flax]

Gakon sneaks a themed run in Friday night

The theme is ||monotype + offtype + using pairs i recently got/upgraded||, can yall guess who?

I showed this clear to my friends and their reaction was: "wtf you brought a Normal team to Diantha???"

[whole flame]

which ||pair did you recently upgrade in that Drasna team? did you candy ss acerola?||

[vocal flax]

||yes||

||infinite terrain is fun!||

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

3k offtype with my favorite Poison team Siebold is a bad stage to showcase Emma since he lowers speed but she doesnt care about that

normally i want to use Oleana's max move after the first sync but it will result in huge damage loss because Emma isnt ready to use B Move yet

[modest narwhal]

Jesus that sync accel

[vocal flax]

ramping go brrrrr

[vocal flax]

[whole flame]

event bugsy

having him is such a privilege now

[modest narwhal]

Dena plz rerun him

[vocal flax]

Me having Jessie, James and EBugsy:

[whole flame]

the luckiest people in the world

[modest narwhal]

I mean same, but I feel bad about it

Been playing since Day 1 and I feel bad

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

Gotta attempt this theme to celebrate NC Red and 3/5 Irida as newest upgrade to my roster

(idk my SST Red is EX but dont care)

[static mural]

It's neat that you even got 5 supports there, so one each round

[vocal flax]

But it would be too easy because all of them are very good pairs, how about me aiming for 3k offtype and/or 2.5k duo

[static mural]

Ngl the duos sound harder

[vocal flax]

True, i only have frogs ontype

[vocal flax]

B-Move users only challenge!

This was supposed to be a themed run celebrating NC Red and 3/5 Irida but i didnt use Red at all smh

Overall this challenge is very easy (as expected) because all B Move pairs are just broken lol. I got rafa'd twice in Wikstrom fight but I still beat him pre sync

Electric HS is live tomorrow and I havent planned at all Gotta steal copy everyone's teams

I didnt do duos except the frog duo because i couldnt do pre sync and the E4 hit hard post sync

[elfin scaffold]

Damn that’s a good theme

[vocal flax]

we had a discussion about themes above

[elfin scaffold]

My memory of discussions with other human beings is really bad

[vocal flax]

so you are an alien ?

[elfin scaffold]

I will not confirm nor deny those allegations

[vocal flax]

Electric HS done. All stages are 250 strengths, except Marnie is 300 strengths. Overall this HS is a good place to use brain outside of LG for me If you want details of any stage feel free to ping me here to ask.

[modest narwhal]

[vocal flax]

Chezei how is your HS progress? i hear you are gonna try harding

[modest narwhal]

I've been distracted I do plan to try harder this time around, but not having SS Hau or NC Blue is gonna make it difficult... also it's 3 am and I got home from work like 2 hours ago, so I'm probably gonna go sleep soon

I'll get one full clear done before I pass out though

[vocal flax]

go sleep well, and good luck on the event too

[modest narwhal]

Thanks, I'll do my best!

[vocal flax]

Gakon sneaks a themed CS run during a High Score event???

Let's play a guessing game I think this theme is hard to guess without a good hint so here it is: ||Look at the Pokémon choices||. I applied a challenging rule: no pair in the team is from the same region.

Vs Siebold: Firstly, fuck you Siebold. Secondly, this team took around 10 tries to clear, because Clemont died too early or Siebold kept spamming Muddy Water.

Vs Drasna: This was a post sync clear, since Diantha didnt have enough power to pre sync offtype sadly. Nothing much to say about Drasna except she kept debuffing speed which was annoying.

Vs Wikstrom: I had always wanted to do a team with the entire Gengar evolution line. Even though I failed doing quad queue but both Agatha and Helena had enough power to pre sync with their Shadow Ball

Vs Malva: Nothing much to say about this clear tbh, it was very straight forward.

Vs Diantha: I got rafa'd * 5 times* in a row Very annoying

Have fun guessing the theme

[dapper tide]

On a whim: 2 of the members of the team have a type that’s supereffective against 1 type of the 3rd?

[elfin scaffold]

Don’t think any of us can figure it out

[vocal flax]

Sadly the first 2 stages dont work like that

Oops ping sorry

[dapper tide]

They do though, I said supereffective against 1 type of the 3rd

Steel and Grass are SE against Rock, and both Psychic and Fairy are SE against Fighting

So I guess add it to the “accidental hidden theme” column

[vocal flax]

Oh you only count the sync type

[dapper tide]

No, I was counting the pokemon types

[vocal flax]

Oh

[dapper tide]

Just splitting the types up

[vocal flax]

But the theme has nothing to do with types sadly

[elfin scaffold]

Cobalt is our only hope

[vocal flax]

So here is another hint: ||imagine you are Crystal||

[lucid plover]

||Manga reference???????||

[dapper tide]

Yeah, I’m useless here if it’s a manga reference

[vocal flax]

Actually there is no major manga reference here, if you know who is Crystal and ||what is her goal|| the theme is easy to guess

[fluid pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/luizdoro-goh-pokemon-pokemon-gou-nate-made-this-gif-23054655

[dapper tide]

Well it’s an unfortunate thing that I don’t know who Crystal is

Best of luck y’all

[vocal flax]

[lucid plover]

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/2/2d/CrystalGSC.png

[elfin scaffold]

Isn’t that Kris

[modest narwhal]

Kris' manga counterpart right?

[elfin scaffold]

Mate, I don’t read the manga lol

[vocal flax]

She is the Adventures counterpart of Kris/Lyra

[lucid plover]

There’s no Lyra, so I count her as both.

[modest narwhal]

I always associate her with Kris because that's the pun

[dapper tide]

Yeah, I’ve read like the 1st few issues of the Diamond/Pearl and X/Y mangas, idk anything about the Gold/Silver manga

[vocal flax]

Winston is on the right track btw

[dapper tide]

Literally no knowledge

[lucid plover]

Well yeah, she’s known as ||The Catcher||, right?

[modest narwhal]

Unfortunately I'm in the same boat as Cobalt and Rancer Literally never even started reading any Pokémon manga

[dapper tide]

Is it just a “gotta catch ‘em all” sorta deal, or?

[vocal flax]

I didnt expect this i thought yall knew about the manga

[lucid plover]

I have to reread it, I have all the Gens 1-3 books!!

[modest narwhal]

I've been meaning to get around to reading them but I'm busy all the time No time for reading

[dapper tide]

If it weren't for the load of Hoenn-and-beyond 'mons on the teams I'd assume they're pokemon that the character has caught

[vocal flax]

Me with Horizons anime

[vocal flax]

Oh it has nothing to do with her Pokemon

[lucid plover]

Well I know ||there’s the Arcanine that broke her arms.||

Nobody saw that

[vocal flax]

||If you spend sometime reading her goal on her Bulbapedia a bit to know about her goal and activities the theme is very to guess||

[vocal flax]

[lucid plover]

I know nothing about Goh, man

[vocal flax]

||what is he holding on his hand?||

[lucid plover]

||The Rotom Phone Dex, right? Cause Crystal wants to complete her Dex.||

[vocal flax]

Can you guess the theme now

[lucid plover]

See, I can get the thing, but comparing it to the teams is where I get stuck

[dapper tide]

I don't understand how these pokemon have such a major relation to completing the pokedex given that 2 of them are the same pokemon but one is shiny

Are they able to make up for lack of arm use or something?

[vocal flax]

Annie figured out another part of the theme. But i will give another hint: ||all Pokemon are in the same Pokedex of a certain region||

[modest narwhal]

They're all in the Paldea dex?

[dapper tide]

Was about to say, that or Galar

[vocal flax]

Correct both of you

[modest narwhal]

I couldn't remember if Bisharp was in the Galar dex

[vocal flax]

Wait a minute

Is Bisharp in the mainland Galar dex?

[modest narwhal]

Just checked, it is

[vocal flax]

Good

[modest narwhal]

Oh wait apparently neither Houndoom nor Magneton are

[vocal flax]

I didnt expect this theme is hard to guess, and my hints werent very clear

[modest narwhal]

Idk why I didn't even think about Pokédexes I even started thinking about dex entries, but not which dex each mon was in

[vocal flax]

They ARE in the DLC?

[modest narwhal]

Not that I see... Lemme keep looking

[vocal flax]

I always assume they are in the main dex

[dapper tide]

I was legitimately wondering if we were expected to know the manga and all the relevant dex entries at one point

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

Me too tbh

[modest narwhal]

Magnemite line is in Isle of Armour, but I don't see Houndour line anywhere

[vocal flax]

I should have given clearer hints

I believe Houndour line is in the game tho

[modest narwhal]

Not according to Bulbapedia

[vocal flax]

Well both of you still guessed the correct dex, its Paldea

If i used any of Paldea eggs the theme is very easy to guess (i think)

[elfin scaffold]

Oh I was planning that theme but you used it

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

I will try another theme

[vocal flax]

or different region(s)

[elfin scaffold]

[whole flame]

You should

I'm still planning a themed clear relating to the manga and looking at this thread, probably only Gakon can make guesses without resorting to bulbapedia

But i haven't gotten around to it because Kalos and because I'm putting way too many unnecessary restrictions that makes the theme even harder

[vocal flax]

you overestimated me smh

[whole flame]

Maybe Annie too, I know she has the collectors edition volumes

[whole flame]

We'll see

[vocal flax]

[whole flame]

Once the region changes

[vocal flax]

[whole flame]

This theme's been nagging at me

But i can't... i have skill issue...

[fluid pecan]

Thank you for reminding me to put a hold on the next books i haven’t read in the manga

[vocal flax]

Yall should read the manga

[whole flame]

It's hard to convince people to read

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

Are there audiobooks

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

I can't read while I'm at work

[elfin scaffold]

can i have it in video form

[whole flame]

We've been coping for a pokespe anime for years but all we got was a short 15 second fanmade animation

[vocal flax]

My hope has died for years

[whole flame]

I won't stop huffing on yellow in poma hopium

[modest narwhal]

If we got Ash, we can get manga characters

I'm also hoping for spin-off characters

[vocal flax]

[dreamy sorrel]

Omg Emma hits so hard, also we can pin in our own threads??

[vocal flax]

Emma is a monster

yes we can, i asked Nick earlier

[dreamy sorrel]

Swaggy

I can’t prolly cause no 2FA lel

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

Lacking powerhouse like SS Steven, SS Lana and Olympia is not fun when you are doing monotype challenge

[whole flame]

what are your psychic units?

[true linden]

SS Lana and Lana ?

[vocal flax]

i meant Olympia!!!!

[vocal flax]

admittedly my Psychic roster is quite good, but im stubborn trying to 3k each stage

[whole flame]

3k

[vocal flax]

my first 2 clears need to be reduced to 2k8 because staggering sucks on 3v3 context

smh i should have used Anni May on Flint

[true linden]

3k each stage full monotype?

that's pretty harsh yeah

good luck

[vocal flax]

thank you

[true linden]

be wary of the half sync one lol

[vocal flax]

im regretting my decision

[true linden]

and Hop is really a massive pushover

[vocal flax]

yeah thats the most concerning stage

i save Lucian for Hop

[true linden]

probably keep Lussa for half sync

[vocal flax]

thats my plan yeah

probably will add a stagger unit because i dont run support in that team

and Lusamine setup takes 3 turns

no wonder why Sabrina keeps getting oneshot, i havent removed supports take x3 dmg param yet

[whole flame]

[vocal flax]

i won regardless

wow, Hop was kind to me, he just spammed item moves

and done

[whole flame]

[static mural]

[vocal flax]

Psychic CS Monotype challenge with ||partially|| 3k is finally done most of them are painful to clear tho I ended up not using SS Dawn

Vs. Kahili (2.7k): Caitlin is very good now thanks to her solid damage and gauge management. She got one of the best expansion for sure. Calem is the gauge battery and tech Exeggcute does its usual job

Vs. Flint (2.5k): Flint is so bullshit. Mespirit got oneshot by Fire Blast but Giovanni and Lodge N still pre sync just fine all thanks to beeg dmg and sleep.

Vs. Marshal (3k): Nothing much to say since Lusamine oneshot all of them first sync. I think Tate's theme skills helped a bit here.

Vs. Bruno (3k): I needed to time Air Slash precisely and hope for flinch proc. Sabrina isnt an ideal partner for Anni May tho which results in no spdef multipliers. May still destroyed Bruno regardless.

Vs. Hop (3k): Hop and his friends kept using items pre sync so i could easily setup. After first sync he oneshot Bede tho, but with turn denial Lucian managed to pre sync him (100k nuke at the end)

looking back again i should have used SS Dawn on Kahili

[whole flame]

nice Challenge Flint Part 1 team!

[vocal flax]

Lodge N clutched

[static mural]

Glad I got him recently

[true linden]

what is Tate doing in that round 3 😭

[vocal flax]

standing there and look nice

(he didnt proc any flinch)

[whole flame]

neither did mine, bcs i picked interference immunity

pairing tate and liza was so fun though. love the theme skills

[fervent mortar]

Challenge Flint: Part 1*

[vocal flax]

im also cooking a themed run for this week

[fervent mortar]

Seeing this ig I cant just throw a 2.5 mono psychic special cs video and call it a day

[vocal flax]

run monotype psychic without supports

[static mural]

[fervent mortar]

I might be able to do it on some rounds

[vocal flax]

tbh that might be brutal in some stages like Hop lol

[fervent mortar]

Hop is kinda hard countered by Lucian

[vocal flax]

yeah, as long as he doesnt spam Mega Kick or Rock Smash

[fervent mortar]

Lol

[modest narwhal]

[dreamy sorrel]

You what

[fervent mortar]

seeing how easily I 2v3'd each stage, 3k 3v3 sounds easy

[dreamy sorrel]

Not with half sync 💔

[fervent mortar]

SS Lusamine and SS Steven don't give a damn about half sync

Gakon even has 2 terrain unit so he can use one for ss lusamine on round 3 and the other on round 4

then use ss steven on hop with the -3 stat parameter and half sync, so you sync super early and you have +6 in all stats so your sync does stupid damage

[vocal flax]

I have skill issue tho

[fervent mortar]

Something I can't relate to

[vocal flax]

im in progress of cooking a themed run on Psychic CS. i promise this theme is not really hard (maybe very easy) to guess

[modest narwhal]

[honest spire]

Supports only

[vocal flax]

not even close

[elfin scaffold]

themed run: support is not in the middle

[true linden]

no

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

the thing is, i always put supports in random tactic

[honest spire]

best of neither worlds

[vocal flax]

Gakon finally did the theme ~~ after feeling lazy for too long~~ Can yall guess the theme? Here are the detail of each fight:

Vs. Kahili: Standard Karen clear with the help of zone and sleep cheese

Vs. Flint: Emma and old man Looker on the case Looker helped to inflict poison and did some chip damage. He did his best tho 😦

Vs. Marshal: A post sync clear. I got rafa'd with Hilbert's sync 5 times in a row, almost gave up lol. Alder helps chipping the sides so Hilbert could take down them easily. Gauge management was a nightmare tho

Vs. Bruno: Nothing much to say about this clear tbh

Vs. Hop: SS Korrina is such a monster. Plumeria doing her usual job: staggering.

the theme is very easy to guess

[fervent mortar]

oh yeah easy to guess of course
<- no clue

[vocal flax]

i already said the hint

[honest spire]

Semi-monotype right?

[vocal flax]

its actually a part of the theme yeah

[honest spire]

Offtype semi monotype

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

How are you able to still find theme ideas

[stuck drift]

Gakon has a list of obscure themes somewhere

[elfin scaffold]

[modest narwhal]

Only using types that Psychic is weak to?

Oh wait Poison is the reverse

Oh is it two Pokémon that would be super effective against Psychic and one that would be weak to it?

Except Flint where it's reversed

[vocal flax]

Very close rn

[vocal flax]

[fervent mortar]

Ngl finding themes isnt hard

But gakon's themes are something else lol

[whole flame]

I give up

[modest narwhal]

Surely it's something to do with the types of the pairs you used and their interactions with Psychic, right?

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

[dreamy sorrel]

I also kinda gave up with making themes I feel I have done everything but at times I see a theme that is like wow, like one of camis themes was rwally good but i forgot it

[elfin scaffold]

sometimes y'all use the theme i was gonna use

and i never told anyone of them

like reading my mind

[vocal flax]

Noone is on the right track except Chezei

[fluid pecan]

So emmet isn’t right on track

[oblique lava]

<:CATEGORY_STATUS:967450751955771402> Right on Track!

He lost the track after losing Ingo

[modest narwhal]

[vocal flax]

Chezei whats your idea on the theme

Im surprised that this theme is hard to guess ->

[modest narwhal]

I'm still thinking about it, but I'm sure it has something to do with 2 of the pairs sharing a type that is either weak to Psychic or strong vs Psychic and the other pair being the opposite

[vocal flax]

Correct!

[modest narwhal]

Oh wait is that it

[dreamy sorrel]

you were able to off type with plumeri?

[vocal flax]

The theme is using types that are either weak to or strong against Psychic! And Chezei correctly guessed 2 parts of the theme

[vocal flax]

She was there to flinch

[elfin scaffold]

got lost in the subway

[vocal flax]

He is like me fr fr

[honest spire]

[vocal flax]

Technically you guessed a part of the theme correctly

[honest spire]

I never would've got the rest

[modest narwhal]

That's why I'm here

[vocal flax]

[honest spire]

[elfin scaffold]

[fervent mortar]

SMH Lucario isn't weak to Psychic

[vocal flax]

I didnt take account of pokemon secondary type in the mainline tho

[fervent mortar]

smh smh

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

The theme of this week is 3k (or more) CSMM

[vocal flax]

Alder sucks at gauge and he missed Hyper Beam 3 times in a row so Lusamine time I should have saved Hilbert's first Techno Blast post sync for more damage but Siebold got nuked regardless

Vs. Siebold (3.5k)

also Johto wild theme is 🔥 🔥 🔥

[dreamy sorrel]

Til LDawn can tank 3.5K

[static mural]

She did so well

[vocal flax]

yeah her EX makes her bulkier, but in this run Siebold only used weak moves tho

she struggles to tank if i use her on Drasna for example

Vs. Malva (4k):

I was panicked when I forgot to pick Team Safe Start on Calem's grid, but it turned out to be unneeded lol.

[honest spire]

Man NC Serena is such a great unit

[vocal flax]

Indeed

Easily top 3 fav tech for me

[honest spire]

For sure, same

[fervent mortar]

easily top 3 fav
stop there

[honest spire]

[dreamy sorrel]

4K??????

I’ve never done 4K before

[vocal flax]

you should do now

[fervent mortar]

Wait that was 4k ? Lol that seemed so easy

[vocal flax]

i showed the parameters at the end, i picked mostly strength and hp params so Malva hit like a wet noodles

my phone froze when i just finished the stage, but not the recording

i will re-record the run later if the recording is corrupted

[static mural]

[vocal flax]

yeah it is corrupted

now heading to R4

[honest spire]

[dreamy sorrel]

Water weeks tend to be that way lel

Kris hits for like 30K each mega kick with double rebuff

[vocal flax]

okay i have to lower points on R4

Lucas died to first sync

[elfin scaffold]

4k

[vocal flax]

https://tenor.com/view/staycdaisy-staycreaction-stayc-staycdaisy-gif-park-sieun-gif-25750808

[dreamy sorrel]

Who’s the support ik it’s Zerena + Lucas

[vocal flax]

no its not Zerena

[elfin scaffold]

Richu in shambles

[fervent mortar]

[vocal flax]

alright, recorded last 2 fights, will re-recording the Wikstrom team later

well uh a part of Drasna recording is corrupted, thankfully its the start so i dont need to re-recording

[dreamy sorrel]

Wh

[vocal flax]

Vs. Drasna (3.5k):

Well most of the recording is corrupted so here is the remaining. Lucas is gridded for MG4 but it doesnt proc lol. I forgot the turn order after mid went down so the team got hit. Fuck half sync countdown my homies hate half sync

[honest spire]

Leon (Alt.) W

And yes why have we gotten half sync back to back I hate it

[vocal flax]

technically we have half sync 3 times in a row

[honest spire]

They really had to put it in psychic CS too

[vocal flax]

Vs. Diantha (4k):

Emma the GOAT Unfortunately Bede went down but both Poison ladies finished the sides easily. I was surprised with Emma's output 26k per hit in 4k is no joke

[honest spire]

Emma is absolutely nuts

[vocal flax]

Oh uh i forgot to take the screenshot of my hall of fame

Now we play a little game: guess a pair i used in Wikstrom'a fight

[honest spire]

SS Morty

[vocal flax]

how do you know

[honest spire]

I assumed you'd need someone to buff your defenses 4k points

[vocal flax]

what if i used Sonia instead

[honest spire]

Sonia doesn't set sun

Who better for defenses than morty on a fire team

[vocal flax]

Alright, here is the re-recording of Wikstrom's fight, which I used SS May, SS Morty and SC Steven. If im not mistaken I chose 4k3 points I also showed the Hall of Fame at the end of the video.

[dreamy sorrel]

Gakon go to sleep

[whole flame]

Are you sure? Why did I remember you trying ridiculously high points for CS battle factory?

[dreamy sorrel]

Oh you’re right

[whole flame]

You had absolute shit luck with your units too

I need to check my points. I think mine was lower

Oh I did WAY less lmao. 16450

[fervent mortar]

I had good luck but it didn't match well with the weaknesses

i fcking toxic stalled with ball guy and wallace, like wtf

[whole flame]

I did a burn stall with lodge serena 💀

[fervent mortar]

[whole flame]

The most fun I've had in CS, for sure!

I got an insane pool of supports

[dreamy sorrel]

I don’t know how I did it

[whole flame]

You spent a good few days

On a stage

I need your tenacity

[fervent mortar]

i did 15.2k total lol

having good units is useless if the opponents don't match

[dreamy sorrel]

Lucas had numbers kris had people who tried really hard (some people got their first 12.5k’s iirc!)

[whole flame]

I had to offtype psychic-weak flint with ss ethan lol, funny battle that was

[whole flame]

[fervent mortar]

I had SS Lusamine lol

[whole flame]

Kris truly had people who tried really hard

Drift was in Kris right

He got the highest points in the server

[dreamy sorrel]

Ye I think they did like 23k or smth crazy

LEAF RACHEL PLUMERIA REGULAR POISON STALL

Trust me I’d never use Gio in normal circumstances

What are you cooking

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

no fire chickens, moon ducks, or walking rocks

[vocal flax]

You gotta try hard LG too!!!

[elfin scaffold]

trios only

[vocal flax]

@whole flame @fervent mortar @brazen token please say you are trying hard this time too!

[elfin scaffold]

@modest narwhal in shambles

[whole flame]

I always try hard!

[vocal flax]

I believe Chez gonna speedrun 150 streaks on the last day

[elfin scaffold]

can't exceed 69 wins

[whole flame]

i'm just not as crazy as the madmen in LG chat lol

[vocal flax]

100 streaks this time?

[elfin scaffold]

420 actually

have all the funny numbers

[whole flame]

errrrrm depends on registeel's gimmick

maybe I can do 75+?

[elfin scaffold]

don't you have a mid term to worry about

[whole flame]

not yet!

[vocal flax]

[whole flame]

well I don't know the dates for LG yet

[brazen token]

I will

[vocal flax]

[fervent mortar]

I will

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

So uh

How easy is the genie? I don't remember

[vocal flax]

I would say its not hard, just annoying

[modest narwhal]

[vocal flax]

On the first bar if you paralyze him, you will get toxic'd, if not he will use Rain Dance and hits hard

[modest narwhal]

Oh

I'll just bring sun

[vocal flax]

[whole flame]

genie is easy, but annoying

[modest narwhal]

So Registeel might be the difficult one, depending on its gimmicks?

[whole flame]

most likely

if registeel is easy, oooooh boy

[modest narwhal]

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

Then I'll be pressured to do it too much

[fervent mortar]

All I can tell you is that regi is fighting weak and not immune to flinch (if he's immune to flinch when it's here to promote rei who has 100% flinch it'd be really weird)

[modest narwhal]

Maybe he'll only be weak to flinch and have resist 9

[vocal flax]

I think he has gimmicks relating to def drops too

[fervent mortar]

like regirock ?

[whole flame]

sounding more and more like SS Lyra cheese

[vocal flax]

Purely based on Red's kit lel

[fervent mortar]

i can see it being like entei, low flinch mitig that builds up over time but never gets immune

[modest narwhal]

Maybe it'll have gimmicks relating to dropping both defense stats? Since both Registeel's base defenses are 150, while Regirock's base def is 200 and sp def is 100

[vocal flax]

[fervent mortar]

And you know who drops both defenses and is released this update ?

[vocal flax]

||Lenora!||

[modest narwhal]

No bc I haven't read the kits

[fervent mortar]

[modest narwhal]

[fervent mortar]

I've looked at all kits, ngl this seems like a pretty mid update
