Gakon's Academy Sonia Waiting Room

[vocal flax]

Latios #5: during this run i got lucky with early spdef and evasion buffs, but on bar 2 that damn Dragon Breathe paralyzed me. Still won regardless

Tornadus #5: you can use literally any dmg dealer here and still win

Registeel #5: not really recommended, separate them to other teams

Latios #6: metronome funny

Tornadus #6: my Zerena doesnt have Speedy Entry 2 but i didnt really face gauge issue during the run

Registeel #6: usual sleep chain team. Defog on bar 3 is the way

Latios #7: an easy solo, just spam Water Gun for gauge and leech health

Tornadus #7: 1/5 N sucks

Registeel #7: usual flinch + nuker duo

Latios #8: usual flinch + evasion solo

Tornadus #8: be sure the paralyzer is alive till bar 3. Dodging Toxic is a must. Dodge many Hurricanes as possible

Registeel #8: usual sleep duo

Latios #9: requires 2 TM MPR. Very straight forward solo

Tornadus #9: immortal flowers

Registeel #9: im missing sup Arcanine so i use the tech one instead. Be sure to time your flinch precisely

Latios #10: i was unlucky when i barely got speed buffs on bar 1, then i got incredible luck on bar 2 with speed buffs... until DB paralyzed her. Still won regardless

Tornadus #10: SS Brendan is so tanky

Registeel #10: originally came up with Lodge Raihan as tank, but it was very overkill. You can use any flincher here

All team notes are pinned here

[elfin scaffold]

Will steal some clears, like that 1/5 N one

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

The new Phoebe is an interesting unit

Prob just a pure tank for whatever

[vocal flax]

Yeah tbh im getting tempted by her. She is a very good tank on LG

But she wants 3/5

[elfin scaffold]

But no offensive buffs

Evasion memes grid

[vocal flax]

She does have offensive buffs

[elfin scaffold]

At 1/5?

[vocal flax]

lets refrain from units discussing here or Dreamy will bonk me again

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

At base yeah

[elfin scaffold]

I will have a look again lol

Will also steal battle 26. That sounds like fun

[vocal flax]

Me remember who i used on battle 26 again:

Ah the flower duo

[elfin scaffold]

I’m gonna do that on purpose now when you get 100+ streak. “Ya know Gakon, I like that team comp on battle 57. I’m gonna use that for my own clear.”

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

btw Gakon, did you use any of the new gears for these clears?

[vocal flax]

I dont have many good skill gears, but i do use them in some clears

The BP Barry solo used Rei's skill gear, and BP Valerie duo used a Kalos gear with +4% Fairy dmg which is not needed lol

Ah the Emma solo also used a gear with increase dmg on target having status condition

Im sure you dont need skill gears on these clears

[elfin scaffold]

So basically very situational. I never upgraded the new gears

[vocal flax]

Yeah skill gears only have impact on some specific solos

I dont intend to do these solos anyway

[whole flame]

1/5 N sucks but he shouuuuld be fine in Tornadus

the only LA where he's slightly satisfactory

[modest narwhal]

Just solo it ez

[whole flame]

me scrolling frantically between gakon's screenshot and his notes

[whole flame]

oh, the classic flower duo

it's so fun

[vocal flax]

Even with sS Blue he still struggles lol

I have to give him Vigilance

[whole flame]

really

[modest narwhal]

Just candy him

[vocal flax]

I dont want to give him 4 candies

[whole flame]

last LG i used N/MC Cobalion/Support Snorlax vs Uxie so I'd imagine this wouldn't be any different? Especially since N is ontype now

[vocal flax]

He just explodes on bar 2 by aoe spam

[modest narwhal]

I wouldn't either he's just so underwhelming

[whole flame]

yeesh

[vocal flax]

2020 pokefair moment

[whole flame]

i remember LG folks saying him + CGio + support dewgong

[vocal flax]

He just needs reliable heal

[whole flame]

i'm gonna hate myself if I used ss blue with N lol

[vocal flax]

Gio's regen is enough

[whole flame]

i'll see how far I can go with a decent tank crit buffer and an eggmon healer

[vocal flax]

I would use CGio with Norman

[whole flame]

my CGio is used already to flinch regi

[vocal flax]

Dude he has Natural Remedy

[whole flame]

helped with getting around registeel's HE9 tbh

[vocal flax]

Body Slam to Thunderbolt is

[modest narwhal]

Registeel has HE9?

[vocal flax]

It is the hidden skill!!!

[modest narwhal]

[whole flame]

half convinced he does

[modest narwhal]

Not looking forward to fighting it

[brazen token]

Listening to kickass music and grind.

[whole flame]

with how much uni is stressing me out atm, even the high RNG clears feel therapeutic and relaxing in a way

[honest spire]

[vocal flax]

nov you need to take a mental therapy

[stuck drift]

The same principle as gardening, but with less stress

[whole flame]

Poma is cheaper

[brazen token]

I like cheesing UnUnUn’s bro

[vocal flax]

Overkill smh smh

[brazen token]

Speaking of overkill. I now have a complete set of 1 insta Sync KOs

[brazen token]

Local Sonia Stan beats up a flexible Genie.

[vocal flax]

what a strange team

what move level is your SC Sonia again?

if she is 3/5 she is way better for Regi

[whole flame]

That team is screaming gauge issue

[honest spire]

It's just screaming tbh, gauge issue or not

[vocal flax]

gosh the Hugh's grid for Loltios solo sucks ass, he barely moves because of no MGR

so i changed the grid for it and won first try

[fervent mortar]

smh not using hugh as a registeel flincher

[vocal flax]

did you know that i still have some flinchers unused

[fervent mortar]

they ALL should go to registeel smh

[vocal flax]

dont worry i have enough for my streaks

[whole flame]

yeah my mind is screaming at me "flinchers go to regi!!!"

[vocal flax]

so use your OG Blue on Regi

[whole flame]

tempting!

[fervent mortar]

[vocal flax]

who said Gardenia solo on Loltios being easy should go to hell

[elfin scaffold]

Just do a duo

[vocal flax]

guess i have no choice

[elfin scaffold]

Claim sanity like me

[fervent mortar]

Imagine me

With a 4* lvl 140 no great gear

[whole flame]

til gardenia can solo latios?

what grid does she need?

can't find it on the max investment video

[vocal flax]

dont do the solo

here is the [link](#1012311116778586182 message) to the footage

[whole flame]

damn okay

[vocal flax]

i warned you

[whole flame]

yeah no i'm probably not trying it

[vocal flax]

i think adding a meatshield works

[whole flame]

i'd do the ethan or blue solo first before my sanity takes a dip again

[vocal flax]

good luck

[whole flame]

[dreamy sorrel]

I thought she needed 20/20

[vocal flax]

its possible at 5/5 0/20 lol

and 1/5 5* 20/20

[dreamy sorrel]

Who the heck has 1/5 gardenia

[vocal flax]

Today i got 6 more streaks

I would get more progress if i didnt bother trying Gardenia and Hala solo

[honest spire]

5/5 Anni Lillie

[vocal flax]

[honest spire]

Is the hugh solo just headbutt flinches mostly?

[fervent mortar]

yes

you never click head charge until the very end lol (you can also never click it at all if you want )

[honest spire]

right

[vocal flax]

gauge is real bad without MGR tho

unless you get insane Fast Track proc rng early

[elfin scaffold]

When Gakon is more sane with solos than nov..

Gonna steal Irida solo

[brazen token]

110 is my new PB. Granted, this is Latios we are talking about.

[lucid plover]

Holy fuck

[elfin scaffold]

[honest spire]

Holy shit ?? This is insane

[warm ocean]

Stealing11
(Brawly, Plumeria duo on Registeel)
(Misty, AnniLillie duo on Torn - recent)
(1/5 Registeel, Solgaleo duo on Torn - recent)

[vocal flax]

Yo pogger

Congrats

[warm ocean]

@vocal flax how the hell does the brawly team work?

[vocal flax]

flinch everything

[elfin scaffold]

How much RNG

[modest narwhal]

Too much

[vocal flax]

i would say its not that hard, just flinch every or almost dangerous move on bar 1

Brawly is ontype and has solid nuke

[whole flame]

Brawly plumeria

[whole flame]

[whole flame]

Brawly grid? Do you need potion MPRs at all?

[vocal flax]

I think that duo is a bit overkill, you can replace Plumeria with any gauge friendly eggmon flincher

[vocal flax]

I went for Rock Smash route and Safety Tether. You can check my doc

Also I EX'd her for the solo

Run out of

[elfin scaffold]

You tried too hard

[vocal flax]

I like her so EXing is worth it

[elfin scaffold]

Ran out of the exchange too huh

[vocal flax]

I think so

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

😬

[elfin scaffold]

Well, there’s still two ways to go around this: the F2P way and the method

[vocal flax]

No money

[elfin scaffold]

5* guaranteed tickets and regional tickets it is

In b4 you only get units that aren’t 5/5

[vocal flax]

Already used all of them except Kalos

I hope i dont need more EX for this LG

Last LG i EX'd 4 units lel

[elfin scaffold]

That’s like me with HS event

[vocal flax]

Technically i EX 4 units in this LG already if i count 20/20 Shauntal

[elfin scaffold]

Time to use more trios

[vocal flax]

After im done with duos and solos!

[modest narwhal]

[whole flame]

i'm running out of

[vocal flax]

hi running out of

joke aside i always keep at least 20 so i can 5* the lodge pair immediately

[modest narwhal]

what good is getting more if you're using three times the resources of all the other content?

[vocal flax]

idk either

[modest narwhal]

[whole flame]

i'm down to like, 50

[vocal flax]

[whole flame]

i've been raising some eggmons to 5*s. Eggmons!

i've started giving some eggmons vigilance or type guard skills too

every day i am falling deeper into the LG hellhole

[elfin scaffold]

From an efficiency standpoint, don’t spend 20 on eggmons

The ROI is not worth it lol

[vocal flax]

yeah

i think i have only upgraded 2 eggmon to 5*

the rest is 4* at most

[whole flame]

every eggmon I use in LG is 4* at the very least, since I have plenty of

a handful are 5*s

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

Just don't spend on eggmons

[whole flame]

gakon how tf did your brawly + plumeria duo even work without potion MPRs

did brawly just nuke past half bar 1?

[vocal flax]

i think so

just spam Smog and hope for flinch lel

[whole flame]

how many sync buffs did he need to skip half bar?

[vocal flax]

Half bar 1 right?

If yes i didnt skip at all

I did skip bar 2 and bar 3 with 2 and 3 sync buffs

[whole flame]

so pray you flinch the iron head and mega kick

yikes

[modest narwhal]

Just throw in someone to tank them!

[whole flame]

okay i got close

of course plumeria got flinched by the iron head. of course.

[vocal flax]

Oh you tank with Plumeria?

Brawly was the tank for me

He has bulk to take a couple of Iron Head

[whole flame]

managed to win Gosh that was an awful experience

(would do it again)

[vocal flax]

You should try KGrimsley and speed eggmon duo

I promise its very fun

[modest narwhal]

[honest spire]

[whole flame]

the cheapest i've gone was kgrimsley and hilbert vs entei

but, yknow, entei was a joke

sometimes i look back to my entei clears in LG9 and wonder how the fuck did I do some teams

[vocal flax]

Me too

[vocal flax]

im officially done with duos on Registeel

[whole flame]

how many wins are you at rn

My progress has been pretty slow but i'm nearing win 30 in just 5 days so I consider that a W

[vocal flax]

Im at 42 wins rn will post notes later

My phone is resting

[vocal flax]

Gotta aim for 100 streaks

[whole flame]

We'll see about that 75 is my bar rn but I might just raise it

[vocal flax]

I believe in you

[whole flame]

thank you for having faith in my skill issue

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

I forgot to update #31 - #36 streaks last night so here are notes on 12 streaks at once

Latios #11: quite an easy solo, dont let Hugh's Determination proc before bar 3

Tornadus #11: i stole this idea from skippingmud, both need Vigilance lucky skill. Be careful with Hurricane spam on bar 1, use all Potion on Registeel to avoid getting killed

Registeel #11: a very interesting duo, you need some Attack and Defense debuffs rng to deal enough dmg to skip bar 1

Latios #12: very simple lol, this one didnt use nuking grid

Tornadus #12: both want Fast-Track 2 to maintain gauge, delay sync on bar 2 to prevent Tornadus using Fly

Registeel #12: tank with Brawly and try to land many flinch as you can, ideally you should prevent Iron Head and Mega Kick on bar 1

Latios #13: i didnt need more than 2 uses of Potion because Metronome always called Dragon Pulse at the right moments lol

Tornadus #13: quite an easy duo, get lucky with Spiky Shield MPR to neglect strong attacking moves. i gridded Natural Remedy just in case

Registeel #13: very annoying clear. Emmet needs to land flinch on right moments and Kiawe needs to proc multiple Dashing Team early to maintain gauge

Latios #14: Catalytic Cure proccing is a myth

Tornadus #14: Jigglypuff was there to eat Toxic and die. i didnt need more than 2 uses of Elesa's TM lol

Registeel #14: Leaf is op. Thats it

[elfin scaffold]

Leaf is op. I agree. Always a staple with those duos

[static mural]

Wish I could just 5 star my og Sophocles

I'd want to use him more

[vocal flax]

he is quite good yeah, but i dont think 5* is necessary

in that duo he was nearly full health when Tornadus was cleared

[vocal flax]

What a chill night to do climb LG none of these teams was rng reliant

[whole flame]

I'm seeing people slapping an eggmon with Elesa on Torn huh

How hard is it?

Like does Elesa still need a lot of tm mprs for heal?

[whole flame]

Ah, good ol' Red+Gladion

At first I wanted to do that as well but then I realized Gladion can debuff defense

(we all forget Crush Claw exists)

So now I don't know who to pair him with vs Regi

[vocal flax]

Latios #15: had to reset once because of paralysis. in the second run i was blessed with early speed buffs

Tornadus #15: tbh using CIris here is a waste

Registeel #15: i couldnt do the Nessa duo so i slapped Lucy on this team, she is a very nice tank with both defensive buffs on grid

Latios #16: a very simple solo lol

Tornadus #16: yup, the classic duo. Gladion spammed Crush Claw to maintain gauge and save SEUN for sync nuking

Registeel #16: my Event Blue had DC2 from the last LG so i used him here. remember to flinch both sure crit EQ to keep Blue alive. i think this was overkill

[vocal flax]

a crit buffer

[vocal flax]

i didnt even used more than 2 uses of her TM (it didnt proc MPR)

[whole flame]

She just skips bars?

Can i see the grid

[whole flame]

Everything either feels too overkill or I'm afraid the team will be too slow

I trust very few supports to carry Gladion's weak ass

[vocal flax]

yeah gauge was the problem for him, thats why i only used Crush Claw most of time

[vocal flax]

one sec, i thought i had updated my doc with her grid

this is her grid

i saved the first TM until First Aid 4 was used and she was close to 1/3 HP

[whole flame]

Vigilance

[vocal flax]

i think she doesnt need Vigilance, but you have to watch out for nat crits and more TM MPR

[whole flame]

Yeah, the air cutter hurts when it crits

I'll continue streaking tomorrow i guess

[vocal flax]

take a good rest

i think i will push to 50 streaks before going to sleep

[whole flame]

Just how many clears do you do per day!

[vocal flax]

this is weekend! i dont have to work

[whole flame]

Makes sense. I spent the better part of this afternoon watching movies

[vocal flax]

i love movies

[static mural]

Great use of time

[desert ledge]

hmm, which movies? (unless this is a topic for #main-plaza)

[vocal flax]

yeah it should be discussed in #main-plaza

or Dreamy will close this thrad

i have been warned once

[elfin scaffold]

quick, do another LG clear

[vocal flax]

my 50th streak features Victor and Rachel

here is the footage of Drift because i was lazy

https://youtu.be/e4jnzkmXQbE?si=OUK2xiuWCiqkfrmz

[whole flame]

Ooooh

Yeah idk who's good to pair with 1/5 Victor usually I just run Skyla...

But overkill ...

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

Oak Liza duo is true nightmare

[whole flame]

Gakon how the fuck did you do Elesa + throwaway eggmon

without TM MPRs nonetheless

i keep getting rafa'd

[vocal flax]

Be lucky i guess

[warm ocean]

holy shit you're dropping some bombs with this batch

can you pls give specs on:

1. Shauna, Sophocles duo on Tornadus
2. Leaf, Hitmonlee duo on Registeel

[warm ocean]

notable info for Nessa?

[vocal flax]

My pinned doc has grid for both duo

[warm ocean]

oh crap I didn't know you had one

ty for mentioning it

[vocal flax]

Get a TM MPR, then use 2 TM under rain to max speed

If any team is missing sync grid, please tell me

[warm ocean]

"regirock" XP

[vocal flax]

[warm ocean]

Context:

[vocal flax]

Oopsie

Will fix that later

Time for my notes on the new streak batch

[warm ocean]

me when no rachel:

actually I don't have Victor either is it's fine

also nice Bea team

[whole flame]

good ol' Barry nuke! love to see it

[warm ocean]

will probablt steal that

[whole flame]

how many sync buffs did you need for the barry team? i imagine damage reduction would be quite apparent

[warm ocean]

Stealing11

(Shauna EX, Sophocles duo on Torn)
(Leaf EX, Hitmonlee duo on Registeel)
(Ramos, Barry, Tech Blastoise on Registeel)
(Marlon, Bea, Kukui on Registeel)

[whole flame]

Gakon how well did Leaf tank the focus blast or can Hitmonlee somehow skip bars

[vocal flax]

Latios #17: usual evasion solo, Korrina is stupidly strong lol

Tornadus #17: quite an easy duo, resetting for Rachel TM is preferred but i won without getting it

Registeel #17: farm sync buffs on bar 1 to build dmg for Barry. You should time your sync well so his sync can nuke bar 3

Latios #18: another easy solo. You will need a TM MPR and queue as fast as possible

Tornadus #18: ideally Oak should get buffs for these 3 stats: accuracy -> speed -> defense. Queue moves as fast as possible so Torn uses Toxic instead. Be careful with gauge and self cleanse proc

Registeel #18: Bea is very good. I believe Kukui and her can duo

[whole flame]

maybe kukui and bea can duo if you get insane staggering procs

[warm ocean]

nah I'm fine throwing in marlon as compensation

[vocal flax]

iirc i sync with tech Blastoise twice and Barry twice on bar 1, then Barry sync once on bar 2 (i let Regi used ID to boost spdef, so his sync didnt one shot the entire bar, then he dps'ed until bar 3 then nuke. I lost 2 times on bar 3 because i got rafa'd lol

[vocal flax]

She tanks pretty well. Hitmonlee didnt touch HJK until half bar 2

[whole flame]

[warm ocean]

hold on... how about the eggmon's health? pot mpr rng?

[vocal flax]

Yup

[whole flame]

dang it

[vocal flax]

Well every Leaf build has Pot MPR anyway

I think both Leaf and Hitmon used 2 pots each

[warm ocean]

fuck

actually it's not that bad considering that I don't find the AnniLillie solo that excruciating

[vocal flax]

She has double pot mpr

[warm ocean]

but half the time, that mpr don't be working

[vocal flax]

[cinder solstice]

Stealing B51

[vocal flax]

Bread you try hard LG too?

[cinder solstice]

Idk, i just steal everyone team and try my best

[vocal flax]

good luck

[cinder solstice]

Nooo

[vocal flax]

Elesa needs Vigilance at least

[honest spire]

This is heartbreaking

[vocal flax]

i just did Sonia Anni Steven Anni Skyla on Regi and this team was very overkill it was too late to go back

[whole flame]

Mine doesn't have Vigilance

So i had to get at least 1 TM MPR

[whole flame]

What did you expect

Sonia not on Torn?

[modest narwhal]

Something something flinch

[vocal flax]

i value her DC9 more!

[modest narwhal]

Ngl I forgot she has DC9

[honest spire]

Btw anyone know what to pair with Elesa here?

[vocal flax]

#1100102557109588099 they used Elesa with sup Arcanine which is very cool

[honest spire]

Ooh awesome ty ty

Flying Guard I hate rerolling cookies. Sonia + Elesa is likely gonna be a waste right? Two paralysis pairs

[whole flame]

Very

[modest narwhal]

Do it

[whole flame]

#1022413718199476255 message maybe you're interested in this? supp wigglytuff has antitoxin LS

[honest spire]

See I was until I read your comments on the clear

[vocal flax]

Gardenia solo is literally impossible

[modest narwhal]

Just pair her with Brendan and SS Morty

[vocal flax]

[honest spire]

sounds like a pretty good idea to me, easy clear

[cinder solstice]

What do you mean

Mine is 4 star and she solos latios for me

[vocal flax]

i guess i have skill issue then

[fervent mortar]

Ez

Just reset for at least 1 evasion buff from TM

1st sync with Oak all the rest with liza and thats a w

Grid Confusiong MGR

[vocal flax]

the true nightmare were the Self Cleanse spam and no MGR proc

[fervent mortar]

Git gud

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

So many units I didn’t realize you had

[vocal flax]

who

[modest narwhal]

Liza

[vocal flax]

60 streaks report its starting to be overkill

Latios #19: i dont want to do Pal Bea solo on Registeel lol

Tornadus #19: be careful with Hurricane spam on bar 1, proccing a Potion MPR is a must

Registeel #19: very overkill team

Latios #20: i dont want to do the solo, with sup Dragonair the duo makes the battle a cakewalk

Tornadus #20: BP Morty is godly, i might EX him next LG

Registeel #20: Support Quaxly maxing speed for the entire team is very good, i skipped bar 2 with rain boosted nuke and just focus on bar 1 and 2

[whole flame]

slapped support pidgeot and it suddenly became too overkill

do you recommend oak/liza?

[vocal flax]

do the duo yeah, i was very unlucky with self cleanse and gauge rng

[vocal flax]

i just revisited my SS Lusamine's grid, and im not sure why i picked Double Down 9 on her offtype build

[modest narwhal]

A perfect choice

[elfin scaffold]

[honest spire]

big brain

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

So close to funny number!

Latios #21: despite not being paired with her besties Bianca, SS Lusamine still wrecks Loltios! Some dodge rng were needed

Tornadus #21: Pal Serena just needs someone to buff crit and she will nuke everything with sugar

Registeel #21: this team was overflowed with gauge, i should have used tech Omastar here instead smh

Latios #22: Cyrus has enough bulk and healing to last for 3 bars. Brycen didnt proc too many freeze but he lived till the end. Gauge are rough early so hopefully Ancient Power buffs you

Tornadus #22: i was salty because of Toxic and getting rafa'd so i slapped Antitoxin on Colress. CS2 is def better and recommended with enough dodge luck

Registeel #22: classic sleep team. I was rafa'd twice on bar 2 but the team has enough bulk to clear bar 3 before the sync move

[static mural]

Definitely doing that Lussamine duo

[elfin scaffold]

Colress solo duo!!

[warm ocean]

Stealing11 (Support Quaxly, TLRosa, Tech Aerodactyl on Registeel)

[fluid pecan]

Are you using the search function for yourself saying “Stealing11”

[modest narwhal]

I guess it helps since this is LG11

[fluid pecan]

Wait
100 - 99 is not 11

[modest narwhal]

100 - 89

[fluid pecan]

💯➖8️⃣9️⃣

[vocal flax]

Ew math

[warm ocean]

why else do you think I've been doing this?

[fluid pecan]

I guess that was a rhetorical question

[whole flame]

damn that lussamine duo

finally hide and sync can see some use

[whole flame]

who's tanking in that Lodge Rosa team? did she just nuke past bars?

[vocal flax]

Quaxly was the tank! And she nuked past bars too

Even without Sync Emergency because she was healthy most of the time

[whole flame]

is EX necessary?

[vocal flax]

I think you have to farm sync buffs to make up for EX boost

[whole flame]

[vocal flax]

But that means Registeel has more room to destroy your team

[whole flame]

i'll look into it... farming sync buffs makes me worried the eggmons won't survive

[vocal flax]

Or you can try activating Sync Emergency

By letting Rosa tank

[whole flame]

i don't trust my skill issue

[vocal flax]

[lucid plover]

Stop at funny number

[vocal flax]

but

[lucid plover]

At least screenshot it lmao

[vocal flax]

i havent done any new streak today

[honest spire]

Yes stop, end the suffering

[vocal flax]

[whole flame]

i've only done one very busy today (and possibly tomorrow too)

[vocal flax]

i think i will do some streaks before go to sleep

[vocal flax]

sneak peek

[elfin scaffold]

Nice

the win streak ends here

[vocal flax]

[honest spire]

time for No LG Suffering

[elfin scaffold]

Just get them in the next High Score event

[vocal flax]

but

[honest spire]

reset ofc and use 10 easy teams

[whole flame]

the drop rate for is pretty low still

[honest spire]

How much higher is it up there at 50+ streaks or whatever?

[vocal flax]

the drop rate level doesnt increase past lvl 5 so

[honest spire]

oh

[vocal flax]

but getting a 3* and 5 every streak is huge

[honest spire]

can you tell I play a lot of LG

[vocal flax]

unlike a certain gamemode

[whole flame]

This, yeah

1 3* for every new streak you get is guaranteed

[warm ocean]

@vocal flax for ramos, barry, blastoise: is dc3 on ramos necessary for the clear to work? trying to fit agatha somewhere

[vocal flax]

I think its fine without DC3

Try to deny both Iron Defense tho

[warm ocean]

that settles it. I'm replacing your team's Ramos with Agatha

I'll be back to ask for team specs later

or u want to offer them now?

[vocal flax]

Wait that means Barry team doesnt have debuff if you are not lucky denying ID

Because Ramos has innate DC2

[vocal flax]

spec of which team

[warm ocean]

I got a few lined up for now

I'll send them in since I doubt i'll change these teams later

[warm ocean]

I could always spec MG2 LS on someone if I really need it, which I'll probably do before attempting the clear

[warm ocean]

Leaf, Hitmonlee
Brawly, Plumeria
TLRosa team
Barry team

and they're all for registeel

[vocal flax]

I did include the grid in my doc

Leaf team is straight forward

[warm ocean]

oh shit I forget to check thread pins for stuff mb

[vocal flax]

[warm ocean]

hold on I alr have that link in my sheet.. fuck

[vocal flax]

72 streaks reached notes coming up later

just a friendly note: you should do Hala, Sycamore and Aaron solo if you aim to high streaks, i just dont want to deal with rng and my final streaks are solid enough already

looking again the Sconia team is overkill as heck 💀

[fervent mortar]

it sure is 💀

also now idk where to use classic gio

either with nanu on regi or norman on tornadus

oh fuck you know what's overkill ? that latios 70 it's sooo overkill

[vocal flax]

Latios #23: Hala solo has mediocre difficulty, but it requires some rng so i didnt bother trying anymore

Tornadus #23: Vigilance on Clair is required to survive till bar 3. Sycamore just does the usual job

Registeel #23: Skyla and SC Sonia can duo together, but i was afraid of Hyper Beam on bar 2

Latios #24: 1/5 Cynthia was the filler here

Tornadus #24: you need at least 1 Giovanni's TM MPR proc, Giovanni will go down at the start of bar 2 ideally, at that point just hope for a couple of Norman's TM MPR procs and Self Cleanse rng. I was lucky to proc 2 Giovanni's TM MPR total

Registeel #24: ||Selene sucks 💀 || anyway the plan was farming sync buffs to oneshot bar 3. I even gave Serena DC2 lucky skill in case Registeel sneaked in an Iron Defense. My first couple attempts struggled with gauge so i adjusted Selene's grid a bit

[vocal flax]

b-but i dont know where to put 1/5 Cynthia

she sucks

[vocal flax]

Norman duo!

[warm ocean]

that eggmon lapras is just a meatshield right?

[vocal flax]

yeah

[fervent mortar]

idk either but probably not there lmao

[vocal flax]

[true linden]

congrats on 72!

[vocal flax]

Thank you

[cinder solstice]

Wait i just read this, doesn’t Colress have antitoxic in grid ?

[vocal flax]

for duo grid you dont have room for Antitoxin sadly

you can drop one sync tile + Smokescreen, but you need more dodge rng

[cinder solstice]

Maybe i duo him with my sup Tangela so i dont need dodge that much

[vocal flax]

it has Reflect right?

[cinder solstice]

Yes

And i slap him vigilance too

[vocal flax]

tbh i value the tech one more in this LG

originally he had Vigilance, but i was pissed by my Toxic dodging luck lol

[vocal flax]

seeing tech Fearow tanking a Giga Impact without dying scares me

[static mural]

Damn

[lucid plover]

Wtf is its stats—

[vocal flax]

Idk either

[elfin scaffold]

LG Suffering || from Success ||

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

Overkill teams coming up

[modest narwhal]

[vocal flax]

Latios #25: classic duo. Just reset for a TM MPR to max crit

Tornadus #25: theme skills def improves BP Olivia's bulk. Gordie nuked hard even without EX

Registeel #25: removing the defense debuffer made the fight nearly impossible lol, but adding it back made the battle very easy lol.

Latios #26: Hilda solo? Never heard of it || ||

Tornadus #26: Viola took advantage of rain to heal more. Vigilance was needed on everyone.

Registeel #26: classic Bruno sleep team

[whole flame]

how was the paralysis chance on that ss elesa + hau team

[vocal flax]

Each of them has 30% chance

So quite reliable i guess

[whole flame]

ss elesa only having hostile environment on thunder shock is a crime

[vocal flax]

[whole flame]

Gakon at this point you're gonna double my streak count already

i've been very busy the past two days and I don't think I can streak much today either

[vocal flax]

Hopefully you finish your streaks in time

[elfin scaffold]

Trio teams, just like intended

[whole flame]

well i still have plenty of time, I'm sure I can reach my goal in time

[vocal flax]

Im afraid of rng

Anyway im currently top 80

[warm ocean]

how hard/close was that SSElesa + Hau clear?

fearow eggmon role?

[vocal flax]

Very easy. You can duo with them but it requires much more rng

Fearow is tech

[warm ocean]

Stealing11

(EBugsy, BPZinnia duo on Latios - backup)
(BPOlivia, Gordie, Tech Pinsir on Torn)
(TLAcerola, Hilda EX duo on Latios - easier clear)
(Tech Venusaur, Bruno, Tech Fearow on Registeel)
(SSElesa EX, Hau EX, Support Chansey on Torn)

hmmm... I'm def keeping 2, 3, and 5, but idk about 4

[vocal flax]

Hilda can duo with a defensive eggmon if you want to save Acerola for a other team

[warm ocean]

u sure? if so, I'ma take out my 5 star weezing

or does it have to be spdef

[vocal flax]

spdef buffing eggmon helps more

[warm ocean]

I only got a 2 passive chansey, which means no HH

should I be worried about chansey living due to her extra 30% para proc?

[vocal flax]

personally i would use Chansey on Torn, and Hilda already has Potion

[warm ocean]

yeah I get that, but also with HH, I worry that it might die too quickly for it to be able to do anything

[vocal flax]

tank with Hilda

she can solo anyway, i hear that the solo isnt too bad

[warm ocean]

tho you did also state that the elec duo was possible, so in theory it should be good... RIGHT?!?!?

oh you thought I would be using chansey on Hilda? hell naw

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

Continue my overkill LG progress

Latios #27: Summer Marnie solo?

Tornadus #27: very overkill team

Registeel #27: standard flinch + nuker clear. SS Leaf having both defensive debuffs is so good

Latios #28: a speedrun duo. SS Erika literally proc sync countdown on nearly every attack lol

Tornadus #28: tech Oddish is better for sleep chaining? But do i care? absolutely not lol

Registeel #28: Event Victor is such a good LG unit

[warm ocean]

ooooo you've been cooking 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

I'm stealing that SSLeaf team. Roxie was literally freed from my plans less than an hour ago

[vocal flax]

that team is very overkill btw

[whole flame]

how hard was the Gordie team? i assume it's pretty straightforward but isn't gordie slow af

[warm ocean]

idrc I got no sleep team for Roxie, and this was the next best thing I could find

[vocal flax]

no, that team doesnt suffer from gauge at all

Gordie got to +6 speed by eating air cutters

[whole flame]

[vocal flax]

ofc the game will freeze when im close to winning

[vocal flax]

i officially run out of duos, yall should expect every team will be overkill and/or questionable from now on

[modest narwhal]

Are all teams considered overkill if they're not duos or solos?

[honest spire]

Apparently so

LG Players when they've got 2 eggmons and grimsley:

[vocal flax]

so true

[fervent mortar]

if the 2 eggmons are trash support then it's ok

[stuck drift]

No such thing as trash support

[honest spire]

[vocal flax]

Support Arcanine:

[cinder solstice]

It can be a meat shield

[fluid pecan]

Ngl it carried my lgio + marshal run

[vocal flax]

H-how

[fluid pecan]

I ran out of gauge without it

I still ran out of gauge with it, but I could at least spam moves with marshal

Actually a really easy clear

[vocal flax]

|| ||

[fluid pecan]

Marshal healing 600 HP every turn was really funny
If it wasn’t for hyper beam (and how i had to rock smash early on), i would have made him the primary target

[vocal flax]

Just flinch it smh

Dude has Staggering for this reason

[fluid pecan]

Does regirock not reattempt its moves if disrupted?

[vocal flax]

I think it doesnt use HB again if its denied

Same case for sure crit EQs

[vocal flax]

90th streak achieved!!!!

Latios #29: Lodge Marnie was a filler here, you should do the solo or add worse filler than her

Tornadus #29: very easy clear, didnt even need Vigilance on Ghetsus lol

Registeel #29: DONT LET REGISTEEL USE IRON DEFENSE AT ALL COST

Latios #30: Raihan's gauge sucks

Tornadus #30: thank you @cinder solstice for the specs

Registeel #30: tbh i should have used Fantina here instead of Karen to take advantage of rebuffs, but what ever

[true linden]

!

[static mural]

[honest spire]

90 damn nice nice

[vocal flax]

aww that emote is so cute

[static mural]

Yeah, there's even one of Ingo

[whole flame]

Even some duos are considered overkill

Still kicking myself over Red + Hau duo, I feel

[desert ledge]

Redlax and Hau is overkill? Dangit I paired Lax with Nemona

[whole flame]

Red can solo

Tbf "overkill" is subjective and depends on how high you want to climb

[desert ledge]

I want to go for 50 but don’t have a day 1 player’s roster; I first started getting limited units August ‘22

[whole flame]

When did you start?

[elfin scaffold]

the most important thing is to have fun

[whole flame]

I started playing august 2022

[elfin scaffold]

so don't overstress things

[desert ledge]

Mid June ‘22

[whole flame]

So getting 50 streaks is def doable

[desert ledge]

and also I’m completely F2P

[whole flame]

Same

[desert ledge]

so no selects

[whole flame]

I'm f2p and got 69 streaks last LG with the bird from hell in it, so I'm sure you can do 50 this LG

[elfin scaffold]

duos are better, less stress during midterm time

[desert ledge]

nice, thanks

[elfin scaffold]

try not to solo LG unless you have a lot of time, since clearly if you want to solo in the first place, you have a lot of patience or insanity

[whole flame]

Some Latios solos are completely free!

Seeing Kali beat Latios at full HP gave me immense joy

[lucid plover]

Draining Kiss DPS?

[whole flame]

Yep, and stat leech

Just get lucky with stealing accuracy/evasion and watch Latios keep missing

[lucid plover]

Welp

[whole flame]

Kali and Lana solos were two of the most fun Latios solos I've done

(frankly it's not like I've done many)

[lucid plover]

NC Red was just three bam’s then that’s it?

[elfin scaffold]

SST Red solo counts, just ignore the OPness of the unit

[whole flame]

NC Red was a bit tricky because you couldn't sync bar 1

Denying Latios was super easy with him though

By bar 3 just clear quickly

[elfin scaffold]

yeah mine is 1/5

so no solo there

[lucid plover]

Oh that’s good to know

I got 3/5 NC Kantrio now so I can solo with all three

[whole flame]

I solo'd all 3 LG stages with all 3 NC Kantrio! All pretty easy

[lucid plover]

I saw! NC Red for Latios, NC Blue for Tornadus and NC Leaf for Registeel.

[vocal flax]

Good morning

Not much progress for today because i have irl stuff

[elfin scaffold]

[fluid pecan]

What ls did your ss acerola use?

[vocal flax]

Stalwart to make her immune to both debuffs

[fluid pecan]

So the same as flare

I didn’t see that before trying it out, but thankfully it works with vig :3

[fluid pecan]

Can i see your leaf’s grid and stuff

[vocal flax]

You should check my pinned doc

[fluid pecan]

Gasp i just got pomaquestionsed

Your pinned doc shows kiawe instead of leaf in the hitmonlee comp

[warm ocean]

OOOOOOOO I'M INSTANTLY STEALING THAT FALLISTER TEAM

[desert ledge]

What role was the Egg Victreebel on the Registeel clear? I might yoink it if it isn’t too RNG/reset heavy

[fluid pecan]

I’m 99% sure that’s tech, for sleep powder

Gakon’s pinned sheet says tech

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

Oof forgot to update the sheet

Kiawe sucks so i used Leaf instead

[vocal flax]

All sleep teams are very easy if you know how to sleep chain properly

Speaking of sleep, thanks to this LG i have mastered both duo and trio sleep lel

[fluid pecan]

And solo sleep?

[vocal flax]

1/5 SS Cyrus

And LN but we dont talk about N

[warm ocean]

how close was the sabrina + raihan duo? I got 1/5 raihan myself so idk how to use him

[warm ocean]

Stealing11 (1/5 FAllister EX, Karen/Fantina, Koga on Registeel)

[vocal flax]

Both were half health when Latios died. Im sure 1/5 Raihan is workable but gauge will be tighter

Basically you need more frequent MGR procs and Sabrina's TM MPR because you dont have Stoic to deal with sure crit EQ unless you skip it

[warm ocean]

ah so I should add supp weezing

[whole flame]

i've pretty much mastered trio sleep but duo sleep is still tricky

[vocal flax]

Yea duo sleep is harder

[vocal flax]

TIL i dont have tech Muk

now i basically lost 3 planned streaks unless i come up with a 30% paralysis unit

nvm i have 2/5 NY Lance

[whole flame]

bounce para

[vocal flax]

i have to!

but sup Raticate has 30% paralysis, surely it wont screw me, right?

[modest narwhal]

Relying on 30% para chances

[honest spire]

Not to mention bounce is MP limited

[vocal flax]

double Bounce MPR save the day!

[honest spire]

me when MPR 1

[vocal flax]

took a couple of tries, but now i dont have to worry about my streaks getting ruined anymore

[fervent mortar]

slow down!!!

man at this rate i'll never achieve a good streak lol i need to play moar

[vocal flax]

You have 11 days to achieve

[static mural]

Dang we're already down to 11 days

[desert ledge]

Wait huh? How long did this LG last for already?

[static mural]

I don't even remember lol

[vocal flax]

Uh 9 days i guess

[elfin scaffold]

10 day warning for Chezei

LG is close to 3 weeks long I think

[vocal flax]

Yeah its 20 days so nearly 3 weeks

[fervent mortar]

Urgh

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

[static mural]

I think my goal is 75 this time and I'm at 42, so I do have time

[desert ledge]

Gotta do 4 more runs today in order to be on pace for my goal

[vocal flax]

Good luck!

[static mural]

Good luck

Didn't do my runs for today yet either

[whole flame]

I have a bit more time to play but I got skill issue'd

[fervent mortar]

Gakon iirc you did Hapu LuSSamine right ? I cant seem to get it I need tips

[fervent mortar]

nvm i got it

[vocal flax]

Umm i did sup Sandslash, not Hapu

[fervent mortar]

a

well i did hapu

supp sandslash more valuable imo, im happy to have saved it

[vocal flax]

Its nice to see alternative of the teams i find Hapu valuable on May's team

[fervent mortar]

i mean supp sandslash works too for that team

for may

or yknow... marowak

[vocal flax]

Hapu is tankier to duo

But i dont do the duo anyway

[vocal flax]

Supportless team is fun also Irida brute forced Wise Entry x2 lel

[fervent mortar]

Oh they had wise entry x2 ?

I did it with my Sinnoh regional rotation, aka Cyrus Lucas SS Elesa

[whole flame]

Cyrus Lucas truther! 🤝

I always do Cyrus Lucas SS Dawn

[vocal flax]

this EBE is pathetic

[honest spire]

damn what an EBE

[honest spire]

This is the way

[vocal flax]

SS Dawn is fun

[honest spire]

I finally started using Crisis Countdown on her and now I regret not doing it earlier

[fervent mortar]

imagine having her

[vocal flax]

give her HS1 for the full ramp!

[honest spire]

yea i've done that now

[fervent mortar]

hs1 ? in THIS economy ?

[honest spire]

-3 is 👌

[vocal flax]

[fervent mortar]

Overkill

[lucid plover]

Battle 100

[vocal flax]

every team of mine from streak 80 is

[vocal flax]

Latios #31: Tfw no NC Red solo

Tornadus #31: 1/5 SS Hau needs so much help : (

Registeel #31: Cloyster was the tech one and its purpose was carrying gauge. Why is KGrimsley's gauge so bad

Latios #32: both SS Wally and LCalem work well together. Although watch out for Earthquake.

Tornadus #32: this clear mostly depended on 30% paralysis from sup Raticate lol

Registeel #32: very overkill team. I believe Bertha and Anni Raihan can duo

[whole flame]

Ah man no team i can steal other than that Latios 97 possibly

I'm still holding out on Lodge Elesa because I want to pair her with a kekwalk abuser

[vocal flax]

Latios #33: required a Sycamore's TM MPR proc. Sync with BP Erika for good damage.

Tornadus #33: umm a very questionable team

Registeel #33: not using SS Morty and Silver together on Torn? What a waste

Latios #34: not really recommended. EX Candice is able to solo Loltios

Tornadus #34: Jasmine is a very nice tank. On bar 3 time Wild Charge wisely so he doesnt die to it

Registeel #34: another questionable team lol

[vocal flax]

thats a good idea

imma take a break from LG

for a bit

[whole flame]

N-nuker BP Erika?

[vocal flax]

Sycamore was busy leaf storming

also helped skipping sure crit EQ easier

[whole flame]

isn't she critless?

or does she have some way to buff crit i'm not aware of

because i never really pay attention to bp erika other than being a goated uxie counter tbh

[vocal flax]

yeah but her sync was good enough without crit, i didnt even grid any multiplier

[whole flame]

interesting

gauge was good?

[vocal flax]

she is a nice LSycamore enabler in this LG

yeah gauge is good, sometimes the team lacked gauge but Rosa's TM fixed that

you need to insta queue too, if you do the turn order right Sycamore should go down to half bar 3 Surf

at that point sync with Erika and Giga Drain to not die

very tricky clear

[honest spire]

congrats on 100 btw

[vocal flax]

ty

mael please dont see my new clears

they are overkill and might make you cringe

[honest spire]

What's your goal btw? As high as you can go?

[desert ledge]

Triple digits!

[vocal flax]

my initial goal was 132 streaks, but i think i can push higher depending on my leftovers

[stuck drift]

[honest spire]

oh wow that's crazy

[vocal flax]

not crazy compared to some high streakers in this server

[honest spire]

but pretty crazy compared to some low streakers

[vocal flax]

[fervent mortar]

lmao

i'm just saying "overkill" for the funny meme

not that i really care

[vocal flax]

[static mural]

I'm gonna steal that Anni Raihan Bertha team cuz I have no other ideas for Bertha

Congrats on 100 as well

[whole flame]

Oof

[whole flame]

132 wins with overkill teams, i could never

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

Double May, double trouble

[dreamy sorrel]

I got so confused for a moment

Didn’t see the mon

[vocal flax]

Hi @brazen token

[fluid pecan]

Yea same, i thought that was latias :p

[vocal flax]

[warm ocean]

Stealing11

(2/5 Rosa EX, TLSycamore, BPErika on Latios)
(TLElesa, Roark, Tech Parasect on Torn)
(Marley EX, Silver EX, Tech Kangaskhan on Registeel)
(Jasmine EX, Agatha, BPSophocles on Torn)
(1/5 Cobalion, Wikstrom, TLLillie on Registeel)

[vocal flax]

None of them is optimized for high streaks

[warm ocean]

idrc at this point, esp since u used pairs that I haven't seen in any recent list

[vocal flax]

Latios #35: Looker sucks, so Gloria it is

Tornadus #35: LCynthia and Surge can duo with heavy rng or EX Surge but i didnt want to deal with rng

Registeel #35: not using Korrina on a sleep team? Are you crazy?

Latios #36: EX BP Candice and Jynx can duo, but its a hellish duo

Tornadus #36: Whitney nuking baby

Registeel #36: welcome back to Gakon's questionable team

[vocal flax]

Latios #37: this is one of my first planned teams for this LG. Needed a lot of Janine's TM MPR procs to keep gauge good

Tornadus #37: I didnt want to make Petrel duo with Skyla

Registeel #37: Noland was the nuker here and i was surprised that Unhindered worked on sync because of getting rafa'd multiple times

Latios #38: standard freeze clear

Tornadus #38: BP Clemont is so good, i didnt take Charging Infliction so sometime gauge was rough

Registeel #38: a very questionable team lol

Latios #39: SS Red nuked real hard. He ate sure crit hits like a champ

Tornadus #39: standard Volkner team. Brock was helpful to deal with Toxic

Registeel #39: Gakon's Registeel teams keep getting weirder

Latios #40: Kris was good enough to clear before James went down. The more flinch procs, the better the run is

Tornadus #40: even with +6 spdef Surge struggled to tank Hurricane. Thankfully during the winning run Torn missed 2 Hurricanes which helped a lot

Registeel #40: Courtney can duo with a good gauge flincher. Totally overkill team

120 hot damn

[vocal flax]

im close to end my suffering

[warm ocean]

I'm worried cuz u stated that the BPCandice duo is hellish, but I also don't want to move Dana from my planned sheet. What would be a good replacement pair?

ORRRR I could stael your Korrina team and call it a day

cuz Dana was a part of a Korrina team

y'know what? for the sake of convenience, I'm gonna do that

[vocal flax]

any spdef buffer is fine

[warm ocean]

oooo nice iris team

[warm ocean]

Stealing11

(Falkner EX, Korrina, Tech Magneton on Registeel)
(1/5 Dana, BPCandice, Tech Jynx on Latios - easier, less hellish clear)

• Any SPDEF buffer works in Dana's place

[warm ocean]

Stealing11 (Lorelei, Iris, Wulfric on Latios)

[warm ocean]

(BPClemont, Mallow, Atk Buffer on Torn)

(James, Kris EX, Tech Nidoqueen on Latios)

[whole flame]

tfw Gakon has doubled my streak count

[modest narwhal]

And he was worried about you catching up

[vocal flax]

im still worried about it

[whole flame]

at the very least i don't want my streaks to be half of yours

don't worry, i'm racing to at least get 75 in the one week i have left

[vocal flax]

go for 100 streaks

[whole flame]

I can't, I have skill issue and not enough time

[modest narwhal]

Just like me fr

[whole flame]

you have nearly all units in the game

you can reach 100 with ease

[modest narwhal]

But I have a major skill issue also not enough time

[vocal flax]

You constantly made into high rank in High Score event aka the worse mode than LG tho

[honest spire]

HSE > LG anyday

[modest narwhal]

Except it's better and it's newer

[vocal flax]

Thanks to HS my ends at 4

So its worse than LG

[modest narwhal]

Skill issue

[honest spire]

That's your fault for ending on a score like that

[modest narwhal]

I've been at a non 5 number since I started playing CS, so HS is the only way I can fix it

[vocal flax]

||I dont want to admit i have skill issue so blame the mode instead ||

[honest spire]

literally me with LG

[vocal flax]

Im waiting for someone to say: "literally me with blissful bonaza"

[modest narwhal]

Literally me with egg events

[vocal flax]

pew pew

[honest spire]

So much for sentry entry

[vocal flax]

Sentry Entry? Never heard of it

[honest spire]

[static mural]

Would've never noticed

[fervent mortar]

AH SO THATS WHY GLORIA DID NO DAMAGE

[whole flame]

sentry entry in the land of Galar? i'm so screwed over here

[vocal flax]

She can solo tho

[elfin scaffold]

did you do battle 103-120 all throughout sunday?

[vocal flax]

No, this weekend i dont have much time

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

I want to finish my streaks before my birthday, and hopefully a good amount of time to farm cookie

[elfin scaffold]

i would say i would like to steal some of those clears, but i realize i just don't have time lol.

imagine having Jessie for battle 109, can't be me

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

i don't even have time to farm cookies

[vocal flax]

But cookies are good!

[lucid plover]

I still haven’t started

[elfin scaffold]

true, I ate cookies for breakfast

[elfin scaffold]

in b4 i do in your thread too. Chezei gets the weekly Sunday treatment

[vocal flax]

Annie attempts Chezei theme on LG? Real

[lucid plover]

[honest spire]

same

[whole flame]

start your damn LGs

[river hare]

no

[vocal flax]

real

[vocal flax]

frogs are op

[vocal flax]

i have finished all of my initial streaks, but i will do 2 more streaks

about clears that i havent given a note yet, i wont cover them anymore because they are basically random bullshit go and not worth doing if you want to go for high streaks

[vocal flax]

The most annoying EBE i have ever been against

Originally i used Volkner but failed

[static mural]

I don't even know how I won first try with the team I used

[vocal flax]

what was your team?

[static mural]

Was SS Hilbert, Skyla and c elesa

Hilbert is 3/5 EX

Well, they all are exed

[vocal flax]

brute forcing through Wise Entry x2? you are mad

[static mural]

I didn't even realize wise entry was there

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

Metal Sound

[whole flame]

metal sound and rebuff should make up for it

[static mural]

Yeah

[vocal flax]

umm guys

somehow i missed tech Electrode

lets see if i can cook another Tornadus clear

[honest spire]

[vocal flax]

it seems i cant i dont have any tank that can buff spdef or has burst heals

well i still have a Registeel left

[whole flame]

there you go, your burst heal!

[vocal flax]

i only have Dawn and Maylene as non player support

[warm ocean]

"this video ends when I get Candice X Speed MPR 2"

[whole flame]

this video ends when Tornadus doesn't self cleanse right before sync

[warm ocean]

holy shit I might post this recording cuz holy shit that took so long

and I didn't get another mpr

[vocal flax]

this video ends when i can beat Torn with my current leftovers

the only way i can beat it is getting SS N lol

i wont do that

[honest spire]

💳

[vocal flax]

[honest spire]

How many streaks you at?

[vocal flax]

133 for now, will rest a bit before tackling Registeel

then i will reset and farm cookies

[honest spire]

well damn that's insane

Congrats!

[whole flame]

stop it, i don't want you to literally double my wins

[vocal flax]

i just go for 134!

just push yourself harder smh

idt i can stay on the leaderboard after LG ends

[whole flame]

i would, but uni is being a real pain

[true linden]

[vocal flax]

My LG suffering journey has reached to the end. Thank you everyone here for supporting and discussing with me about my teams i really appreciate your love. I could easily optimize my planned teams more to get higher but sadly i dont have much time anymore . Here are my leftovers and current ranking. I will update my doc when i have free time. Again thank yall so much for always supporting me

[whole flame]

GGs!

[honest spire]

Great run, gg!

[whole flame]

I don't know the cutoff for top 100 rn but I'm pretty sure you're staying

at least, barely

also phew my streak won't be half of yours

[true linden]

that's impressive

[vocal flax]

i hope its the same as mine

[vocal flax]

yeah its my record

[true linden]

surprised you didn't use drain punch gengar on registeel

[vocal flax]

i attempted to do that but failed

required too much rng and i didnt want to change his lucky skill to MGR2

[fervent mortar]

So many eggs left

[vocal flax]

ik a lot of teams are overkill or optimized, so there are so many egg leftovers

i wish i had more time to climb LG more

[whole flame]

i wish i had your roster so i could do more overkill teams

[whole flame]

i definitely can't match you, not even close, so my bare minimum is having more than half of your streaks

[warm ocean]

@vocal flax what LG stage are you stuck on?

[vocal flax]

Torn

[vocal flax]

[warm ocean]

oh my god you literally have nothing left

[static mural]

Same tbh. 75 is my goal this time

[warm ocean]

this should be all the tryhards' goals

kinda worried since there's less than a week left, but I'm progressing much faster than before

tho idk how far I'll go since I need to create a lot of relatively budget teams for Latios

[whole flame]

my benchmark for LG is always to beat my personal best, and that has been achieved

but it's nice to have friends to compete with because it's quite motivating

[warm ocean]

@whole flame berfect timing? can u give me a rundown on the general strat of SSRCynthia duo on Registeel? ik the queue for her budget clears are very strict

misspell but it's a 🅱️

oops this is a thread lemme move

[vocal flax]

This is legit my first struggle against an EBE since... Maxie/Archie EBE

[elfin scaffold]

at least we got SST Red

[fluid pecan]

No N?

[vocal flax]

1/5 N and he is worse than Elesa

[vocal flax]

I might 3/5 him someday

someday...

[modest narwhal]

Imagine not having 3/5ed Red because of the Elec HS

[vocal flax]

Hey thats me

[elfin scaffold]

#1016422880654938132 message 1/5 N works, just need another OP unit

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

Happy birthday Gakon

|| what winston said ||

[vocal flax]

Thank you y'all

[warm ocean]

Happy Birthday!

[vocal flax]

Thank you

[warm ocean]

ghost ping for Citrine. I didn't know it was in a diff channel mb

[vocal flax]

So the special theme is using pairs from my top favorite regions which are ||Unova, Kalos and Alola|| with 3k params on every fight

2/5 Furbert is so underrated!

[honest spire]

are the regions in order of preference?

[vocal flax]

Ummm maybe

[honest spire]

Unova -> Kalos -> Alola

[vocal flax]

But Unova is surely my #1

[honest spire]

Ooh I see

Interesting

[vocal flax]

Johto and Galar are top 4 and 5, respectively

[honest spire]

we're at number 5 and I have yet to hear Hoenn

[vocal flax]

Too much water

[modest narwhal]

Where Sinnoh

[vocal flax]

Too much space

[modest narwhal]

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

[vocal flax]

im debating to include Poison or not not an excuse to use Emma because of Fall Iris being Poison type

[modest narwhal]

I was thinking the same thing actually

[vocal flax]

and Ground type too, but i want to make the theme a bit challenging

well i will only use 2 types for now

[elfin scaffold]

That’s basically my theme Gakon lol

Poison, dark, ghost

[vocal flax]

so imma use 2 types only to avoid overlapping

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

||im already regretting my decision||

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

/j will try my best

[vocal flax]

its annoying to keep CS opponents unbuffed

[honest spire]

wow done already

dark & ghost only?

[stuck drift]

Spooky clear!

[vocal flax]

Halloween's special theme is done! The rule is using Dark- and Ghost- types only 💀 Here is the detail of each fight:

Vs. Shauntal: With Victor's Ghost Zone, Shauntal (which?) has respectable damage I also took the Five Stats ⬆️ to make use of Haze

Vs. Marshal: Quite an annoying fight, since I had to quad queue the first sync + deny the left side by Max Ooze. Grimsley is useful for once lol

Vs. Caitlin: Originally I intended to duo with SS Cyrus and Sidney, then Karen but it was impossible (probably my skill issue ). So came to rescue

Vs. Grimsley: Aside from using specific turn orders to avoid gauge issue, nothing much to say about this clear. I really like playing with Furbert

Vs. Iris: Had to take Shadow Punch Hit Reload to keep stealing Iris' buffs ||||. But it stopped reloading after mid was down so Marshadow had to dodge sides' moves.

Overall a fun challenge

[stuck drift]

No Annlili

[vocal flax]

yup i planned to include Poison too but rancer planned the theme first so i used 2 types only

[vocal flax]

she sucks offtype

[stuck drift]

Well done Rancer

[stuck drift]

I don't think I can do this theme. offtype in CS nowadays is pain.

[vocal flax]

just EX a few units

[modest narwhal]

She was good enough for me offtype
