Has good overall damage 
its good!

Using Moongeist Beam Piercing Blows on one of those specific CS stages when?
do you have 3/5?
WHAT YOU HAVE 5/5?!??? Bro just use any reliable ghost zone setter and let her sync wipe the stage
I mean... she is 5/5 EX on your account, so why wouldn't we?
I love the spooky challenge! 
(its a joke, dont worry)
she is not an unga bunga pair tho
She's not Ash or SST Red levels of broken
her sync isnt good either
i had used her all the time, so i know her strength
sadly she keeps falling down compared to modern units
she doesnt age well
at least she is compotent enough to combat offtype stages
yeah at least its not hard to offtype with her
also i dont like pairs that are braindead to use, thats the big reason i didnt pull for Ash for example
wtf you didn't pull ash? imo he's better than annilillie in that regard
I mean so is Shauntal or Fantina 
im not a meta player 
*comfortably
🤝

No-one is better than Annilili
5/5 NCalem
5/5 Zerena
With no tech exrole 
One of the least useful rolexes 
My favorites got good alts grrr
How dare you have faves with good alts smh my head
I feel that 
NCalme rolex solos Moltres LA [soon]

oop wrong house
Everyone will
me
Didn't have to scroll up very far to find a solo 


Ah do we really tho? Lemi just scroll a lil further up in this very thread 

oh are we doing opposite day today?
LG and HS are good modes
prepare for your words to be taken out of context!
You are partially correct
yes, LG is a good mode 
(What’s the opposite of partial?
)
In this context, completely/totally?
As its not opposite day, i agree with you
You are impartially incorrect 

Decided to do "Favorite sync pairs in LG 100 leaderboard" theme
Saw skippingmud do it first
Crying
mud has the chance of having rivals as fav so there's a lot of them
smh not enough serena in the game
i need more
I stole the idea from skippingmud too for my "favorite sync pairs in HS leaderboard" CS theme
i like doing the theme because there are people with Emma and Sonia as favorite lel
Maybe i'll do this theme again with LG11 leaderboard

Revisit an old theme of mine for next week
This is the old roster
If you want to change your suggested 2 pairs from last time, or want to contribute to the themed roster. Please lmk
I forgot about Santos's picks 
Let's all mention the worst pairs possible 


doing this unironically: Zinnia (any pair will do) and Bianca (would have said Guzma but I don’t want to be cruel and don’t know whether you have Guzma’s SC or not)
Thank you for the suggestion
as the rule says i have to use the base Zinnia and Bianca
And yeah i dont have SC Guzma lol
hmm let’s hope someone else suggests SS Steven or SS Lusamine, otherwise my Bianca pick may have backfired big time
Arch I’m counting on you
My indecisive self already can't choose two trainers you think I'm going to say Bianca for one of them 
Arch gonna accidentally say Bugsy
Bugsy and Wulfric! My two fav trainers!
Kidding, let's just go with Dawn & May today 
Bugsy and Wulfric tomorrow then? 
I waa counting on you to say SS Steven but sure lol, second Bianca for her eventual NC 
Oh right I can't read
If I'm understanding correctly at least 2 people would need to say Steven for him to be able to use SS Steven right
I dont have SS Steven lel
Are they your final choices?
They're good picks 
Korrina, Dawn are my final choices 
Chezei is overjoyed

Arch didn't say Elio 



Trying to use Elio as a crit buffer soured me on him a good deal but I’m sure he’s fine if people actually use him correctly
He's very good as a sleeper
She's great, trust me 
I have never used his crit tiles lol
No one else said Korrina? 
I said Dawn and May
Korrina was a thought though

oof gakon did you get kicked out of leaderboard?


so close
next time, maybe 
i dont have much free time recently
so no optimization 90th streaks onwards
this might be another funny CS theme? 
not for next week tho
what is the "this" in question 
oo
so you take all sync pairs from the top 100 that you own?
i just take the top 15 so i have to use all of them lol
you should, it's kanto, it's easy 
If nov's doing like the top 15 you should do number 15->30 so you don't both have the same roster

I hear that everyone loves sync accel 
I wish i could deny the left side for cleaner run but my phone denied to cooperate with me and made 3 records failed lol
Redlax and Zerena on the same team sounds like a cry for help with gauges
but yes, sync accel supremacy 
i actually like SS Dawn more but i need HS1 on both Lucas and Zerena for the full ramp
For -6 in total you mean? But then you'd have to use Thousand Waves post-sync anyway wouldn't you?
that sounds like a crime
Sounds based to me 
Usually I would agree
i usaully use SS Dawn with Bianca and Olympia, this team is my new fav team for Psychic
Olympia is such a great pair, im waiting for her 3/5 to EX
I still only have her at 1/5
haven't been able to really test her
yeah at least do Ramped Up 2 or something
same, mine is also 1/5
SS Dawn power boost when 
It's the same with Allister's Hex:Ramp Up 1
drives me crazy
It works fine with NY Dawn 

im a bit worried about next week theme
hopefully i can handle it with current roster
at least it's Kanto
yeah but i have to offtype most of time
true
ohhh I forgot you already had that theme 

I would've said someone better if my brain was working back then 
thank you 
Korrina is great 
Excuse me
no i mean her base is bad kit wise
I will remember this

how much Max HP was that? Middle took at least 50k HP dmg

originally i used HP 8 too but couldnt pre sync 
I feel HP is going to be the way to go for a lot of 3k runs
Zerena op
I remember the days when dreamy said zerena didn't age well and struggled to off type CS 

good times

Still accurate tbhtbh



the ropal classic
I don't think I have much sync accel units; mostly just Nemona/Archer, Emma & SS Leaf, SS Elesa and Classic Red
which uh
isn't enough to make a CSMM clear out of for sure
(btw Archer never counts)
I usually don't bother with teams like that, mostly cuz I'm too lazy to fully figure that stuff out
It's pretty cool to watch tho
Well you can make 5 teams with each of them already
true, but I think it's only fun when you get to skip some turns between syncs with them, which is gonna be a bit tough to manage
otherwise sync accel is only to make up for when using a max move or waiting for move gauge disrupts your move rotation
Yeah good point
Just a small announcement: I have changed the entire format on LG team records tab for better understanding and more user friendly. Huge thanks to @wanton bison for template and idea 

Poisonous ladies on the stage!
if my Oleana was 3/5, Emma could remove Toxic Hit and pick another multiplier for more damage. This team can clear offtype with more HP instead of max strength 
VAgatha is fun to play with
Wouldn't mind having her
all variety so far have had good or fun kits to bait people into pulling 
Why I'd love to get V Kiawe besides liking him 
~~ Definitely not VBruno~~
And then there's bruno
Dire Hit+ MP Rekindle flashback
Lance is kinda mid too
T-Wave plus Rebuff is pretty nice
True
@cinder solstice i think you might like taking part in this theme of mine 
Darn, wish I was around for that
wait i thought you have sent your picks?
oh you still have time!

the deadline is next reset 
I'll go with Iris and Hop then
interesting choices 
I love them basically as much as Leon 
if you suggest Leon i will be able to use the Battle Tower outfit
Yeah I saw 
if next week had Dragon weak, i would use Iris immediately
i havent used her in CSMM for a long time
no, i wont try her offtype without Lucas



At least Hop is a solid pick 
I will try to use at least a fav of each person taking part in this challenge
Sr buddy, but now i dont have any favorite pair ~~where Spheal
~~
Unfortunate 
Just make Marshal & Bugsy your favourites for today


Sophocles & Togedemaru!
That good enough 
Surge and his ball Electrode!
Their only saving grace
So true
I dont have much time this week, so sadly i have to postpone the intended "Your Faves" theme until next week. For this week i will do my first (and officially) 15k run with underrated dmg dealers. I will try to record each clear too, and sorry if the video quality is not good 


Underrated.. 
The "first" clear featuring NY Lance! When being supported right he can unleash powerful attacks even without much helpful multiplier! This team gauge was a bit cringe in the end tho 
I didnt record the first clear
forgive me for being absent-minded
I will record the first team after completing the Champion stage ||and when i have time
||
I'm surprised you didn't take half Ally HP considering SS Dawn's heals
i picked the param in my first attempt, but i found it a bit awkward
because SS Dawn has to use her TM after sync
and Bruno might open with CC 
Lance and his subpar self-damaging TMs 
You just gotta use better DPS than Lance if you wanna off-type. DPS like Korrina 

Even base Korrina is better than Lance 
True, almost as good as her base
I think that's the same as me
lemme check
You're not missing much 

Lance slander 
Oh my NY Lance is only 1/5, I must've gotten 2x NY Lillie on her debut
||i got her in a single||
interesting
anyway do you guys have a guess for the next featured pair? 
i will use them on Lance

NY Sabrina 
On-type right?

except the last stage, where i plan to bring Penny with someone 
K Grimsley?
I don't even know the weaknesses
Steel 
I figured when you said K Grimsley 
I'll see it in the morning. Gotta sleep before it hits 3 am 

gonna try zoneless first 
she has sync damage guard tho
there's also danger damage guard on grid so you can go TM turn 1 safely, but that's kinda expensive
but i cant take these tiles 
yeah i don't take danger damage guard either
but you shouldn't really worry about using TM after sync because of the damage guard, imo
also after the first TM, if you dont use Moonlight, she will kill herself with another TM
Yeah
that makes the rotation awkward and i wanted to avoid that
It works if you don't need the Ramp Up from her TM
usually i just use TM once because i pair her with damage dealers who can buff their crit as well
Otherwise the rotation is really slow
So you support the slander then

For underrated steel I was thinking Molayne for a second, although I feel like he's a bit worse than Wilkstrom overall 
Yeah I thought about Molayne too
<-- forgot Molayne exists

well plan changed 
fake fan smh
Very true
Smh Molayne is so bad he needes both Sonia and PMarnie fix. My turn order was messed up, Molayne should have been the one moves last every turn to activate Flinch Hitter easier. Thats why I still let Marnie Iron Head one more time.
he did pretti good there
Aye
tbh, that's exactly how I run him like, everytime

He just does need all the help in the world
kinda surprised that he dealt 24k on sync, i expected a bit lower
If he had EX it'd be pre sweet
would be fun if Flinch Hitter was activated
ikr
I despise flinch multipliers
anyway here is the next hint for Lorelei: its very overkill and more of showcasing the unit's max nuke
Lt Surge?
Yay!

Lt Surge has a nuke? 
dude has double Devastation 
Lmao
i did consider him for LG nuker but i dont have many resources for him 
i gonna EX Lodge Gladion and Penny (when i get her) immediately

I ended up doing the Lodge Gio duo with him and thankfully it didn't take too many tries
It was a popular duo back then. I wish i did that instead of Surge LCynthia Wallace bs 
his nuke is surprisingly great!
i nuked tornadus with him, it was glorious
Yup!
I'm trying it now 
You better not using the exact team as mine 
Volkner, Lt Surge, NC Blue
Thats the same as my omg 😭
LOL
Lemme try different appoarch
I was gonna go SS Roxie or SS Hau but Roxie doesn't have the Electric theme skill and Hau's runs out before 2nd sync
If only I had SST Red
I guess i have an advantage over you 

Lt Surge is Kanto too MPs go hard
I'm capping at around 65k 2nd sync, lemi know if you can get higher 
Wait yours isn't even EX 
So there's no way 

3k ? 
Yah
After researching a bit more, i found that Surge nuking isn't underrated like i expected
||strike SS Elesa|| is

I've done strike SS Elesa 
On 3k? 
Was 2.5k but max HP
I was doing Strike SS Elesa in the Elec HS 


#1153583498687414283 message I found my really high quality recording of it 

Here is a challenge for you in Fire HS: nuke with Marley


The only support with nuke tiles that I haven't nuked with is Falkner
I did a duo burn solo with Marley and Blaine, I think that's about the extent of her abilities 
I've nuked with Falkner but it wasn't max potential because couldn't debuff defense
unbending on Marshal

we talking pidgeot right 
Marley has innate Inertia wdym 
I've literally never used Pidgeot, I don't even know what it has aside from Mud-Slap 
clearly never played gen 2 smh
In my initial plan for Steel week Lance i used Wikstrom BPFalkner and Shauna
The dude has aoe attack debuff

So she does
Maybe another round of Support Nukes is due for 3K
Its surprisingly good!
Chili is the first one I bully. The right side is LCalem, at least he contributed by slowly chip sides and burn them. This was finished on 300 strength.
People say Blaine is the most annoying stage, but somehow I beat him easily. Flannery is such a good physical tank here. I think I pumped to 280 strength
oh, high score, right 
Omg look at the difference between 2 Fire and 3 Fire lol
You think there's room for more strength vs Chili?
Kiawe has like no bulk or defense going for him though 
yes i think, just need more Potion MPR
and good enemy move choices
like during my run Chili just uses Rock Tomb
i also used Cerena's B Move on each side

using non fire types ? in my fire type hs ???
Hilda instead of Event Blue is such a brilliant choice. Had to reset a few times because the left Camerupt kept flinching Silver. 250 pts btw
SS Hilda best Fire strike ftw. I did 200 strength and this team can def go higher
good turn order helps, but with Hilda's Potion he can tank well
i also gridded Tighten/Toughen Up

in the first sync cycle, if Flannery uses Stone Edge its instant reset

Kiawe done with 250 strength. I could do higher but i dont have the mood for it
221k is around Great 3 lol
now my
amount ends at 6, this is strong evidence showing HS is no better than LG



HS > LG anytime anywhere
i haven't even made teams! i haven't even checked the gimmicks! all i know is sync on flannery = bad
Back to funny CS business
striker SS Elesa is actually viable! with heavy support
im saving Champion stage for Penny showcase with an unexpected dmg dealer!
so stay tuned 
it's going to be OG Valerie or something
I was thinking og Lillie
BP Valerie?
bad version*

smh bad takes in my thread
Time for tech cake role sselesa 
Goodluck for Penny Gakon 
Thank you
hopefully she treats me well
Im sorry I cant stand that piano, also I'm not a huge fan of the submas theme to begin with I need more Gear Station 
Penny shafted me
time to use plan B for Blue

Lucy nuke on the scene! Im still salty that I havent got Penny for double Sylveon offtype 
And here is the full run! The first battle featured Lusamine's Blizzard with Irida carrying
I guessed OG Val right 

Yea that was pre dope, I don't think I've ever synced with her 
We need more Lucy appreciation in this house
Oleana needs a snickers
Penny showcase soon 



hey i need some advice, who should I sync first: 1/5 SS Wally or Penny?
Syncing with Wally first gets another stage of rebuff, while Penny's sync gives double sync buff
I think I'd prioritize rebuff, so imo Wally

I would personally go Penny tbh, you've already got the single rebuff from her & zone from SS Wally
hmm but syncing with Wally first allows him to use B Move for slightly stronger damage
not to mention the mega
Use an EX support with a mega then 

I sync with Wally first tbh
My phone keeps crashing and freezing 
get a new phone 
An apple a day makes the crashing and freezing go away 
you buy an apple phone every day ? damn 
Where money smh
i will slowly upload my Penny showcases across this week 
deleted 2 recorded showcase because of 3/5 Penny today

Have to start with my favorite Kalos girl first
SS Hau brings more ramp so i can sync after 2 turns
@fervent mortar 
you will know soon 

OG Valerie 
both of you have guessed 2 pairs correct 
i wont reveal or give hints about the third pair until i finish recording the clear 
My run this week before im moving to my favorite Paldean girl showcases 
It does not 

When did you get SS Hau 
wait a minute
i thought you already knew about me getting him long ago
i literally got him from his debut banner 
…why isn’t he exed then
My point exactly!

Where #wss@my ping!
I thought you fixed your typos after your birthday
You will be pinged soon i promise 
1/5 NC Blue def did wonder. Thanks Mael for the tip 
I'm almost convinced I can't do this fight just cuz I don't have Serena
There are pins at #1009557516369281075 but yes it’s restrictive
Ooh thanks
The good news is that the battle doesn’t expire
Yeah

calm down guys
lets not go too far here
i will continue posting Penny showcases tomorrow

wassup
@dreamy sorrel Lodge Calem clear 
I thought of him immediatly the moment I saw Flabbergast tile on Penny's grid 
i had to adjust the params 4 times 
no room for 5 stats
or else Penny dies in 2 turns at best
skill issue
This clear could go smoother if these following things happened:
- Diantha proc Propulsion before the first sync ||smh no 5/5 Diantha||
- SS Wally denied Mismagius by critting
@latent quiver
offtype clear
Give the queen some candies 
no 
This is the clear I made for my 2 buddies - @true linden the local Gen 7 fan and @fluid pecan my beloved Lillie stan
I was actually surprised when seeing Penny's output
my girl knocked out 2 targets
I pinged 4 people in my thread today
hopefully you guys dont mind the ping
lol that propulsion 1
They're gonna start pinging you to reply 
Gladion's lodge pic at the start is hilarious
he screams for his turn to get actual alts
Moonblast Lunala 
during my test run Anni Lillie proc Proplulsion on every action
that was crazy
indeed
Moonblast Lillie on ghost weak is pretty funny
do you know what is more funny? ||SS Dawn's Moonblast offtype|| 

I'd much rather do SS Dawn Moonblast over Anni Lillie's Moonblast 
Name one good Lillie alt 🏃♂️
You give me an idea
I'm omw to try that too 
If only Wally was a little more helpful with his B-Move condition 
It's 3:30 am my time, I'm exhausted
Arch will probably get his up first
if Arch comes up with SS Wally i will use SS Hau||'s Dazzling Gleam|| for my clear 
1/5 SS Hau fairy DPS 
it is only slightly worse than 1/5 SS Wally's Disarming Voice 

How to do SS Wally, Penny and SS Dawn without both wally & penny overshadowing Dawn 
thats the neat part, you cant
Wow his damage after mid was down was pretty great so limited on Sun usage lel
Same lel
I almost forgot about doing this theme next week 
@modest narwhal DAWN CLEAR 
This clear was so perfect, I got the numbers way higher than my test run (21k vs 19k on the second sync) 

is there a good support for OG Blue to setup his multiplier? SS Elesa is so frail
Accuracy? I would say Lillie
since he just needs +2 Accuracy, perhaps 3/5 Melony and 3/5 Aaron are good as well?
they are bulkier too
but no sync accel 
Proton, apparently
Gauge: - | Power: - | Accuracy: - | Uses: 2
Target: All allies
Effect Tag: -
Raises the Speed, accuracy, and critical-hit rate of all allied sync pairs by 1 stat rank. Increases the Special Moves ↑ Next effect of all allied sync pairs by 1 rank.
Proton & Golbat
imagine having Proton
I forgor he does accuracy

Argenta 
imagine having 
i probably have skill issue using Blue offtype, even with bulkier supports 
Either will do fine. Moreso Melony cuz spatk buffs at 3/5
Argenta doesnt buff SpAtk tho
Idk what she buffs other than attack and pmun tbh
At base +4 speed/def, max crit, infinite attack/PMUN and max accuracy
Me using op pairs to destroy MM smh
Also Gardenia was the tank, forgot to change tactics but she survived Aqua Tails lol
No EX PalMarnie
1/5 moment
and what is Furbert doing with the frogs 

nothing
Carrying

He's doing his best 
And he did it successfully 
I guess he can have a pass this time 
if i had a nickel for every time this team was used i'd have 86451 nickels which is a lot and i'm not surprised

Listen Roark couldnt survive in max hp comps
Roark slander
now I'm going to do a Roark clear on max HP

It has been a while huh
you won't be getting those nickels from me because I have none of those units!
the 2nd comming of kim grimsley
I want to showcase some units with minimal/accessible team this week, can you guys suggest some gen pool or f2p options? 
valerie 
Off-type valerie 

mmmmm BP Karen

Yeah i didnt
No way i pinged myself

Im working on 2 units, will take request 3 more units this week
ok bp valerie for lance
For now Eve, BP Valerie and BP Karen
so offtype? 
She has Iron Head 
SD super infliction 
Im finding how to make BP Karen work without NC Calem
Maybe i should ask in Aurochs' thread 
iirc i made bp karen work once before ncalem was even released
That was 2k pts meta smh
eh

I tried 3k with Eve
How the FUCK do you setup her nuke 
her best partner are what, misty bp janine ? 
If you can make Furbert work you can make BP Karen work
Did you do it in normal zone? I wanna see but I'm too lazy to do it myself
nah it was still when i was trying only normal moves
so i was using my dps in different teams
I plan to try with a dps like Cyrus


i'll try palmer eve and uuuh bp janine ig
I mean you could do 2nd sync and just have NC Blue as support
spend all 6 turns double teaming
ah wait cakewalk
yeah

6 turns to setup evasion 6 turns to lower speed 
Lodge Morty time
he doesnt buff team evasion
Gauge: - | Power: - | Accuracy: - | Uses: 2
Target: All allies
Effect Tag: -
Raises the user's evasiveness by 2 stat ranks. Raises the Speed and critical-hit rate of all allied sync pairs by 1 stat rank.
Morty & Gastly
no he can't 

BP Janine does
I will look into it
NY Lillie does
I used her for Oak's nuke
counter argument: nobody has her
Skill issue 
I have her lol
Same
Eve sucks in CS lol
wont bother using her again in that mode
unless i go super overkill for her
i will wait for egg Umbreon before doing BP Karen showcase
to do list:
- BP Valerie showcase
- BP Karen with zone offtype showcase
Who do you guys want me to use with these units? I want to record 2 showcases with both of them
Go beat Anabel with 1/5 Lyra 
3k CSMM solo with Phoebe
Lmao

Phantom Force team 

No SSR Cynthia moment
Also offtype 
I think i can try Event Victor with Morty and Phoebe
You could do double Phoebe DPS 

Upvote
wait, i just noticed that VLyra synergize so well with Eve
maybe i will try to make Eve workable again
previously i tried with Irida/BP Janine, but the lack of EX Support hurts
I have a simple solution to that one
i think i will bring an EX support, and let Eve handle her own evasiveness
smh just whale
Also interested, what's the synergy between VLyra & Eve?
Just spDef debuffs or?
speed debuff for Kekwalk + spdef debuff yeah
if there is rain she deals good aoe dmg as well
Oh damn TIL Vyra debuffs speed
I've never looked at her kit properly
TIL as well
I think I'll also try and see how high I can get Eve nuke with Palmer, but she needs so much handholding 
yeah, i have given up with minimal teams for her
Aurochs might cook something with her tho
Kekwalk
After recording this clear i realized that VLyra also has very good synergy with Barry
i might record a showcase of the duo when i EX Barry
Always love some good kekwalk 
The poor Gigalith got its accuracy dropped so much 😭
meanwhile the Golem didnt get debuffed at all
poor Gigalith
She’s great with Barry!
Headbutting Simulator featuring triple dmg dealers
Ideally BP Valerie should use Sword Dance on the first turn, I misclicked on her TM in the video
Earthquake from the Golem is an one hit KO to both Valerie and Molayne
so I need to deny that
Hop! 
Also many headbutts indeed 
Sadly Hop didnt contribute much in the video
during my test run he always got Freevenge'd so he spammed BB like crazy
Eh it's cool
ain't that reliable anyway
BP valerie is such a great unit
The BP is literally her redemption arc 
Truly
Grass HS confirmed
@cinder solstice @modest narwhal @elfin scaffold HS madlads i need your help
We don't even know the params or anything yet 💀
I'll be here when we get the details though
I'm already roughly planning some meme teams
Yeah HS is in Jan so i have some time to manage resources
that's a 2024 problem 
I live in the future 
@elfin isle you should join my thread. We can discuss about each other's clears 
Alright i will be back to silly showcases
No heal
Not again
Morning gakon
sure, what's up?
Did they announce the type?
Grass 

I got the masterfairs so mayyyyybe low top 100?
Thing is I might be busy under exams
But i can sure help you

i will ask you for help in #1128052735967764621 
Will be glad to do that sure thing 
Gakon tryharding HS? Don't leave meeee
sorry nov
i have sworn to try hard Grass HS when it comes

No Victor-SS Leaf


my offtype and minimal teams struggle to clear on 3k 
i guess i have to use more op supports

This is where Gakon’s love for HS begins

Extended limited time 
Supportless team is so fun... if 3k is less punishing offtype
I gridded Brycen with Hype Up 4 but it didnt proc during the run. I didnt bother with resetting because I was working on my newly 4/5 Vilda showcase but the clear required too much rng
so enjoy my quick run
Cerena my beloved
You didn’t even ping me 
Oof my apologies
im sure i will ask you for help too
Ask the number 1 ranked player too 🏃
your objective is to get at least 38th in grass HS 

my objective is staying in the top 100
or 350k+
im working on a clear to get my thread on the right track but it needs a decent amount of rng and my phone is not cooperating with me 
Niceeee Gakon try harding for HS!
my time to shine! 
Finally the clear is done! I just got 4/5 SS Hilda from mix a few days ago so I decided to do a showcase featuring her. Since 4/5 tiles lean towards utility sides and dont help her with damage much so I think it's better showcasing her in LArena. Team Precision Strike 9 is a cool utility tool to deal with evasion raising opponents like Latias AND Cresselia
her duo partner is Sophocles with Status Immunity skill (can be replaced with Antitoxin or Vigilance). There are a few things to note about this clear:
- Get as many flinch as you can
- Don't let Cresselia use Slash at all! It chunks Sophocles' HP so hard
- Denying Toxic is very important if you dont give Sophocles immunity skill
- If Sophocles misses the first flinch on Double Team, reset to avoid more rng factors due to missing.
This duo can def go more budget with a flinch eggmon but it requires more rng. I will definitely use this duo when Cresselia arrives to LG.
Cress bullying pog
Double Hilda, double trouble 
The strat is using Flame Charge at the start, then use OG Hilda's TM to apply regen. Use TM again to reapply regen. SS Hilda wrecking havoc with combination of burn + confusion. Since confusion wore up on bar 2 and Uxie gained Clearheaded, I stalled bar 3 a bit to wait until Uxie prepared to sync when it reached half health at the same time to take advantage of sure hit for full nuke, although its definitely not needed.
I'm not sure if this is budget enough on LG, since I have seen more budget partner like OG Janine. Hopefully this clear is helpful 
@lavish ember i hope you like my Hilda clears 
I’m giving this all I’ve got! Onto the next one! 
They’re amazing 😌

Why budget when you can double Hilda!
Hihi I'm here
welcome 
Very fun clears here
Time to take some feedback 
The latest 2 clears are my first recorded videos on LG gamemode specifically, and I want to hear you guys' thoughts about budget LG clears
Are they helpful or at least inspire you to get new ideas?
I want to shift my main focus on clears, from silly themed runs to harder CSMM challenge, units showcase and the mentioned budget clears on LG. 3k CSMM is punishing for offtype, especially non optimized teams for silly theme runs. I still do themed run in the future, but more strict and leaning towards showcasing team synergy/trick. What do you think?
i like budget LG clears (ofc I do) but it's hard for me to replicate them since I don't always own the "expensive" half of an LG duo 
yeah cool Hilda and Vilda clear, except... I don't have Vilda
Dont worry much about that part, i will def do more budget clears with both accessible and limited units in the future, leaning towards accessible side more. Ty for your thought 
Yes pls, i’m bad at budget LG clears so this will help me so much 
I think I am too, so I'd appreciate them as well

ty ty both of you 
During LG and HS try hard period i dont do video tho, since there are clears which are time consuming and/or rng heavy
And my potato phone doesnt like long recording too 
I will also admittedly be watching out for budget LG clears
because I have a big skill issue on that game mode
Next LG announced. Its Uxie, Tapu Bulu and Entei. I will start brainstorming teams from now
Doesn't look too bad outside of Uxie's limitations
Uxie.... 
Quite an easy one yeah
I did double Hilda on Uxie 2 days ago. Probably not a coincidence right 

This just makes me wanna do that Hala Sonia duo I did last time
I did that too! it was so satisfying but it took a while trying to figure out the damage control

i have a few budget LG teams noted, i will start recording them after im done with CS
I let Looker land the finishing move so at least he did something meaningful
@grand raven 
||Anabel looks off

oh hey Ghost weak in CS
i will record 1/5 Foebe showcase as promised

Speedrunning this week CS because I want to focus on my team showcasing and LG planning 
Vs. Bruno: Did you know that Barry nuked 67k with both multipliers? VLyra having good synergy with Barry is blessed
Vs. Agatha: I wanted to use my beloved Gen V mon here. I should have used Penny for fav + more output instead
Vs. Lorelei: I can't miss the opportunity of using permanent Fighting Zone since I don't have Champ Hop. Sadly Wally couldnt nuke Lorelei with his sync but a Close Combat is enough.
Vs. Lance: Standard speedrunning team with Zerena lol
Vs. Blue: Burgh's expanded grid doesnt give him much in term of nuking, but his nuke is already good enough. Blue kept critting Morty with Psychic tho 
I used that same last team, just Burgh is exed too
He does
mine is only 2/5, and he has Head Start for funny SS May ramp 
I usually go for SS Mina Barry SS Hau for the first sync Empoleon nuke, we got the same idea basically for this week there 
Monster nuker
We don't talk about the bubbles, those are decorative
This is why we have SS hau
but yeah I feel you
Gives speed and debuffs speed
SS Mina maxes his spatk and gives rain
Smun for putting terrains zones etc
tempted ngl, I like his funny nuke on entei
i gonna feature him on one of my upcoming budget LG clears 
I gotchu buddy, I will show you
❤️
Empoleon super fan, had to get those units for him
im looking forward to it 
Let's start with an easy duo that only requires minimal RNG (aka no spdef debuff and too many nat crits). Marshal demands Grass Guard to eat Energy Ball tho
Do not nuke with Marshal at the start of bar 3, or he will use eat +6 Wood Hammer right after since his sync delete half bar.
A decent gauge and crit support is good in place of BP Surge tbh. 1/5 Cobalion and Torchic are other accessible options.
smh 108 spdef
The more I see you LG folks go at these clears the more I think to myself I'll just 10 & dip again 
you only need to give Marshal Grass Guard 
For just one clear 

That's how bad we want these clears at times 
unoptimal: bp surge goes to uxie 

i will choose to believe you post this because of cobalion and not because of the squint
well duuuh she also goes to uxie
Yeah ofc, i realized that before posting the video
Sometimes i forget BPurge has Thunder Wave lol
TPunch 10% para, goes to uxie
how did you get nat crit'd so much wtf
throw all your thunder punch and flamethrower units at Uxie 
Tech Arcanine too good
That shows Marshal is not an unit to laugh at!

i sure didn't laugh at marshal tanking wood hammer
Thank you Salamence for using X Attack All instead of attacking so Vilda took the sync to destroy all your friends
the other 2 are Spring Burgh and Colress
so many threads 😦
what is this power...
people are sleeping on him smh
better on entei trust

you get flinch that does not get used up
outrun for speed
good point 
Was thinking that too
Got the first copy of him from mix today so I want to try him out in CSMM
I want to try triple Venusaur team some day 
you luccsacc
give me your mix red
dammit
i want him to solo bulu
so rich
meanwhile i got
5 5* tickets today
ah just a reminder that since you are new to #1010274591601598555, we should not get into gacha and flex too much or one of the mod appears and bonk us

Just 3/5 

Bc i need daily to get some eeveelution pair 2/5 at least
I have all but all 1/5 except Selene
i have only 2/5

i dont want my thread to get bonked 


Here is the clear in case anyone has missed it 
Wait wtf is that strike rolex mixRed??
