Gakon's Academy Sonia Waiting Room

[elfin scaffold]

your family needs to see you, Gakon

[whole flame]

The 100 people on the LG leaderboard are his family

Go get that spot bestie

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

Everyone is my family

Speedrunning LG belike:

I will post noted tomorrow, now im going to sleep

[static mural]

Pulling out all the stops

[whole flame]

Go go go go go

[vocal flax]

I will try finishing my LG tomorrow

[elfin scaffold]

https://tenor.com/view/family-toretto-dominic-gif-23895685

[elfin scaffold]

SMH you should be awake in my timezone as well for more LG clears

[vocal flax]

So true!

[modest narwhal]

Rancer what have you done

[elfin scaffold]

I’m not the one doing these LG win streaks, I’m just here for the entertainment

[vocal flax]

Tapu Bulu #145: overall an easy duo, just reset for Sycamore's TM MPR. Sometimes gauge issue happens but it's managable

Uxie #146: Phoebe nuker real

Entei #147: "oMg gAkOn yOu ArE wAsTiNg 2 uXie cOuNtErs"

Tapu Bulu #148: I didn't want to reset for 3 Potion MPR2

Uxie #149: nothing much to say, except be careful of dangerous moves like Iron Tail

Entei #150: despite maxing speed on Sophocles and Iris, this team has slightly gauge issue ~~I blame Lillie ~~

Tapu Bulu #151: this could turn into a duo if my Dawn was 2/5 for First Aid 4

Uxie #152: I kept getting slapped by bs rng so I did the trio instead

Entei #153: Raihan sucks

[modest narwhal]

You should candy Dawn

And yes Raihan sucks

[static mural]

I knew I wasn't alone in thinking that

[vocal flax]

5/5 doesnt even fix his gauge issue

[vocal flax]

No im waiting for mix to give Dawn alts like how i got 4/5 SS Dawn

[modest narwhal]

B-but Dawn

[fervent mortar]

@/Rafa

[modest narwhal]

Cami also quite likes him

[vocal flax]

I like him too but i cant deny how he is so bad

[cyan pilot]

Raihan is such an expensive unit

He’s only your first-choice steel on one stage

[vocal flax]

Anni Raihan is not

[modest narwhal]

Even on that stage I use Gloria

[static mural]

I just off type

[vocal flax]

Lmao i got Ball Guy from mix

+1 Uxie win

[elfin scaffold]

imagine getting a 5 star from 70+ mix scout pulls

[vocal flax]

Tapu Bulu #154: IDK why is sleep chaining with Agatha hard to time. So trio it is

Uxie #155: the Morty duo sucks so I added a third. Sup Porygon helped Morty tanking better with defensive buffs

Entei #156: standard flinch bot - nuker team. I brought newly pulled 1/5 Lenora here

Tapu Bulu #157: with Grass Guard and defensive buffs, Wikstrom tanked pretty well, even in Blade Forme

Uxie #158: someday I will get Allister to 3/5 for the solo

Entei #159: overkill flinch trio ft. Emmet

Tapu Bulu #160: Rosa stronks

Uxie #161: here goes 2 better Raihan. Pinsir failed to paralyze 10 times in a row on bar 3 made me so mad

Entei #162: random bullshits go!

Entei #163: she is very fun to play with!

And thats the end for my LG suffering journey thank you guys for the cheering and support without them I dont think I can make this far

Here are notes for every clear of mine: #1053291896778264597 message

@green ridge we are in the same picture again

[cinder solstice]

Chúc mừng nhé

~~Still no family pic with me ~~

[vocal flax]

If only you stopped at streak 163 smh

[whole flame]

and here I thought sleepchaining with Agatha is easier because of MGR9?

[vocal flax]

its even worse with MGR9 😭

my original plan was Agatha duoing with Jessie, but Agatha couldnt live until bar 3 at best because the timing was a chaos

[whole flame]

[vocal flax]

This is the time to announce the Gakon's LG awards Thank you cami for creating this fantastic idea and Tai for improving it

Most fun solo: Mixed solo on Bulu It's so satisfied to watch 1/5 Red destroying Bulu easily
Least fun solo: Caitlin solo on Entei There were so many rng factors that I almost gave up
Best unit I'd never used before: tbh I have used every unit of mine at least once in previous LGs, but power boosted Blue is definitely the one winning here. His nuking tiles really helped him on Bulu solo
Worst unit I'd never used before: I think I should rename the title to "Worst unit to use". 3/5 Raihan wins easily , followed by 3/5 SS Giovanni
Most fun duo: Lyra/Erika on Uxie aka the immortal flower duo
Least fun duo: Acerola/Naomi on Entei. Gauge issue, flinch not being cooperative, getting rafa'd and resetting for MPR are the most stressful things . Counting the scrapped duos, Bertha/sup Nidoking on Uxie is my nomination
Best surprise learning: none
Worst surprise learning: Agatha's grid makes sleep chaining harder for some reasons
Biggest overkill moment: Hala/LIrida/tech Nidoqueen on Entei
Most satisfying win: NC Rosa solo on Entei, which is my final LG12 clear

@fervent mortar Could you add my doc to the LG12 community sheet? many thanks

[whole flame]

yeah I'm glad i gave up on the acerola naomi duo before i even attempted it

it just doesn't look pretty

[round kite]

Congratulations

So your last clear on Entei just consists of relic song clicks for 10 mins?

[cinder solstice]

Not that long from i played

~~When compared to 14 Minutes Sing run ~~

[vocal flax]

It only took nearly 7 mins, because Rosa has good dmg

So a lot easier than Melony solo on Bulu

[fervent mortar]

You'll need to create a page just for LG12 then, because I can't link to that if it will change next LG

[vocal flax]

oopsie

give me a minute

done

[tawdry ore]

how was the rosa solo? i haven’t candied her yet and i couldn’t bothered to try and solo at 1/5

[vocal flax]

welcome

the solo was pretty much free

sadly Entei solo requires 2/5 at least, but Rosa can solo Bulu at 1/5 non EX

[tawdry ore]

yeah i looked at that one and it seemed very painful

[vocal flax]

you can make a duo with her instead

she can carry a trash dd like Roark (dont tell Dark about this)

[green ridge]

[vocal flax]

are you still going?

[tawdry ore]

i used her with pserena on uxie and that went fine

[vocal flax]

thats nice the pixie needs to get a taste of op pairs

[vocal flax]

I don't have the mood to record so here is the Hall of Fame of Water CS

Misty is so fun to play offensive, except when she misses Hydro Pump

[honest spire]

Frog

[vocal flax]

Smh none of Alola CS stages is ideal for Marshal's full nuke showcase. I should have moved to Water weak Olivia instead

I used Potion pre sync so Rosa could switch to Fighting forme after her sync

also BT Leon took very little damage from Hala's sync even with Tech x3 dmg proved that dmg guard next is op

[whole flame]

I'm impressed they all lived that max offense almost max strength sync

No fighting zone i assume?

Also i don't understand why you picked BT Leon. Just for the debuffs? (I have no clue what Marshall wants for his nuke)

[vocal flax]

i do but im waiting for EXR on SSA Cynthia

and i dont have NC Hop lol

[vocal flax]

Marshal wants def debuffs for Relentless, and the reasons i chose Leon are atk + def debuff and good chip damage

as well as Max Guard to protect Marshal

[whole flame]

[vocal flax]

wait... i picked max offense params?

yeah i did bad memory smh

[elfin scaffold]

Forgot about CS after playing LG 163 times smh

[vocal flax]

are you sure its only 163 times?

[elfin scaffold]

[whole flame]

Something just couldn't click for me. Max attack, strength 11, but you still picked max sync countdown -2? Was that really 3k? That felt a bit over but idk

OOOH

Nevermind it's offtype so you had to make up for the 300 points

[vocal flax]

i picked both -sync cd params

i didnt expect the params could work lol

[whole flame]

Bt leon tanking the sync is a miracle

Just today a heat wave took out half of lodge silver's HP. I didn't even take tech x3

[vocal flax]

MAX Damage Guard helped a lot and he has good bulk too

[vocal flax]

Inspired from @static mural These are my top 10 favorite pairs released in 2023 to play with. I will do the final CSMM theme with all of them hope you guys are looking forwards to it

[honest spire]

Stealing

The idea

[vocal flax]

Sadly I don't have much free time to record these clears

[vocal flax]

The idea is gracefully made what a cool way to recap a year of Pomas

[elfin scaffold]

I shall also steal this idea

[elfin isle]

Grace giving great ideas as usual, classic W. You go dear

[round kite]

3,5,7,10, and ss acerola in honorable mentions???? Incredible, show stopping, wholeheartedly approve

I don't have the rest, so no comment

[vocal flax]

They are trainers i like too!!!

[vocal flax]

My final CSMM themed run is finally here! I really wanted to record my gameplay but I don't have much free time The first team is very interesting because it shows how good NC Rosa is when she supports mixed DDs like Solgaleo.

The theme is using units being introduced/getting boosts in 2023. I should have used more units getting boosts to balance more, but again my time doesn't allow me to plan accordingly

[elfin scaffold]

Enjoy 2024 from the future

[cyan pilot]

omg 3/5 Rosa at level 125

[modest narwhal]

Lenora at 120 😭 Gakon your poor supports

[honest spire]

__L__enora

[modest narwhal]

I mean my Mix Red is still 110

[whole flame]

we can't be friends

[honest spire]

My pairs are either 140 or 0 there's no in between

[vocal flax]

Listen i have been in resources crisis for months

[honest spire]

Let's see your 150 5/5 EXR MixRed I'm waiting

[modest narwhal]

He'll be higher for the HS event! I'll have to EX him then too

[whole flame]

give me the money and I sure will

[modest narwhal]

[honest spire]

[vocal flax]

This is still open i want to hear your suggestions

[honest spire]

What's the psychic fighting roster looking like?

[vocal flax]

Lemme fill in the tracker on my phone real quick

[honest spire]

I'd like to see the 3 Unova Psychic girls

[modest narwhal]

Maylene with Medicham

[honest spire]

Oh don't bother then

[vocal flax]

Also mixed dmg dealer suggestions are more welcomed

[fluid pecan]

Wally

[honest spire]

So true

[cyan pilot]

I instantly Level 150 any limited I pull

Me and Gakon are not the same

[vocal flax]

He has been on my list in fact he is the first one that comes to my mind

[modest narwhal]

Imagine having the resources to 150 every limited

[cyan pilot]

Anni Raihan is a unit I went from never touching in 2022 to using so much in 2023

[honest spire]

Gakon do you have NC Hop?

[vocal flax]

💦

[cyan pilot]

I only pulled like what, 9 units this year?

[vocal flax]

[honest spire]

I'm willing to a bet a fair amount the number of limiteds pulled between you two is very different

[modest narwhal]

How many limiteds released this year?

[cyan pilot]

I only got 10 new units this year lol

[vocal flax]

Not even counting freebies?

[honest spire]

If you have the time whenever I'd like to see Bea and/or Korrina with NC Rosa too ||I'd do it myself but she refuses to come home||

[vocal flax]

So far i have these DDs in my list:

• SS Hilda
• Solgaleo
• Wally
• Bianca and Caitlin
• Bea
• Korrina
• Brawly
• Maylene and Brick Break Hala meme

Is there any thing you want to note for your suggestions?

[honest spire]

Use the wrong type of damage reduction

[vocal flax]

I think i will feature Korrina in a separated team

[cyan pilot]

Lets see, I pulled for

• NY Lisia
• NC Calem
• SS Diantha
• Lucas
• Emma
• LuSSa
• Irida
• SS Kris
• Unova Trio (which I count as one)
• NC Rosa

so 10-11 pulls this year

[modest narwhal]

I can go through the ones I got when I get home, it's a lot

[vocal flax]

Just dont post here or i will be bonked

[whole flame]

i just assume you have all of them and only missing 1 or 2 from this year

[modest narwhal]

I think I'm missing like 5 of them? I'll have to double check later

Oh wait, team rocket scout was this year right? I only got Petrel out of that and Gio from the mix so I might be missing 10

[honest spire]

Time to post gacha flexes in your thread

[cyan pilot]

Only missing five

sometimes I wish I had the bravery to pull for that many units

[modest narwhal]

Dailies pay off

[elfin scaffold]

[cyan pilot]

I haven't experienced the joy of paid gems

what's it like

[elfin scaffold]

It’s festive

[modest narwhal]

I also don't even have a full pity of gems and never have yet so take my pulls with a pinch of salt

[modest narwhal]

It's great as long as you don't let anyone who doesn't like spending money on games see

[elfin scaffold]

If I chose Gakon’s theme it’s gonna be trickier if I wanna on type

[cyan pilot]

to be honest I don't mind whales as long as they can take care of basic essentials first

[modest narwhal]

[vocal flax]

what is Gakon's theme?

[honest spire]

Pretending not to be an LG madlad 🏃‍♂️

[vocal flax]

let's see if i can finish the list within next week

[honest spire]

You could also do Marshal He boosts Unova FB too

[vocal flax]

i already did Marshal

[honest spire]

Oh

🏃‍♂️

[elfin scaffold]

Playing CS checks name 163 times in a week

[vocal flax]

smh

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

Arch not watching this video confirmed

[honest spire]

Listen I watched it in spirit

Wait I went back and did watch it, you can quadqueue with her? Or is that just delay going on with the Flinch

[vocal flax]

im not sure either

lemme ask in gen strat

[cinder solstice]

Yes you can

[honest spire]

[cinder solstice]

I used my normal timing thing

[honest spire]

Oh damn okay thanks for confirming

[modest narwhal]

I think it's because it has to trigger the accel from Sprint after the forme change?

[honest spire]

Ah this could be it

So I can run troublemaker instead of adrenaline dope

[modest narwhal]

Adrenaline to get around having to quadqueue
Sprint cake to get around having to quadqueue

[elfin scaffold]

Sprint cake my beloved

[modest narwhal]

excited to daily Rosa and cake her instead of Aura Cynthia

[elfin scaffold]

[cinder solstice]

F i want to try with no Sprint effect and the shield ruin me

[honest spire]

Same!
<- Doesn't have ACynthia

[modest narwhal]

[cinder solstice]

I’ll try with other stage

[elfin scaffold]

Me with both and 15/20 sprint cake and a spare sprint cake

[vocal flax]

i thought it was confirmed that you couldnt quad queue with her

thanks for the confirmation

[honest spire]

Yeah I was convinced about it too thanks Pykuo

[whole flame]

absolutely, so you can use a different lucky skill for LG purposes!

[modest narwhal]

So excited to give FT2 to another unit

[cinder solstice]

No, it doesn’t need cake btw

[modest narwhal]

Oh what

[honest spire]

[modest narwhal]

Is Rosa just built different?

[honest spire]

[cinder solstice]

@modest narwhal

Wait i cut this too soon

[modest narwhal]

I saw it

It seems like Rosa is simply different

Maybe they coded it specifically for her since she's the first one to do that?

[cinder solstice]

Better

[honest spire]

Damn

[cinder solstice]

But it only works with her tm

[modest narwhal]

[cinder solstice]

And i have this

[honest spire]

Oh you can't quad queue Sing or Relic Song?

[cinder solstice]

[modest narwhal]

[cinder solstice]

But i must admit, quad with Nc Rosa is nightmare, even i know it timing

[vocal flax]

i would say, skill issue

[cinder solstice]

[vocal flax]

my first time making into the leaderboard

[cinder solstice]

[modest narwhal]

[honest spire]

Congrats!!

[vocal flax]

[true linden]

congratz that's amazing!

[vocal flax]

Thank you

[static mural]

Really an amazing feat imo, congrats

[vocal flax]

tysm

Thanks to your teams i stole, i can get to high streaks

[static mural]

[fervent mortar]

Next LG I'll streak
Maybe
We'll see

[vocal flax]

im looking forward to it

[whole flame]

Congrats!!!

[elfin scaffold]

Good job Gakon

[vocal flax]

Hopefully you like LG more in 2024

[cyan pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/dumbledore-clapping-gif-25342009

[elfin scaffold]

The only LG I’ll like is the South Korean company

[cyan pilot]

so true my LG monitor can't handle crap but it's still going strong

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

So many teams i want to record, including this week CSMM

I want to make up for the lack of my CSMM teams' details during LG weeks

[vocal flax]

Vs. Bertha: Normally I use this team with max HP to watch opponents slowly die, but this time I want to try something new

[vocal flax]

Vs. Lucian: What is Wise Entry x2?

Vs. Flint: nuke real

[honest spire]

+2 crit on Hilbert

[vocal flax]

listen i was really tired

so i forgot to grid TSE on Dawn

[vocal flax]

as much as i want to do triple Flareon team on Aaron, its not possible for now

R4 param boosts enemies' damage and my Tina is not well invested (lvl 125 and no EX)

[cinder solstice]

I’ll try this

I have bug zone so the dmg will be higher

[vocal flax]

my Bug roster is dire so Lusamine was there

[vocal flax]

I got the funny clown from today daily, so Flareons team will be featured next time But I think I'm the real clown here, because I forgot to take off No WTZ parameter

[modest narwhal]

Smh gipped Flann of her full potential

[vocal flax]

surely no one would notice only -4 SpDef

🏃‍♂️

[modest narwhal]

Brendan confirmed bad unit

[honest spire]

Why are you intentionally handicapping her

[vocal flax]

Brendan not proccing enough Freevenge 😭

[honest spire]

Skill issue

[modest narwhal]

See? Bad unit

[vocal flax]

[honest spire]

One of the rare times I agree with Gakon

[modest narwhal]

[vocal flax]

My final team for this week CSMM ft. Zinnia Thank you Cynthia for free sand setting, pretty much appreciated!

I don't want to change her lucky skill back to Dauntless, so I think it's a good idea to show Outrage's strength as well. SC Steven would be much more ideal partner for physical build, but I wanted to use Lucas for dual strike comp

@desert ledge you might like this ^^

[honest spire]

You pinged him before I could comment something

[vocal flax]

[honest spire]

[round kite]

Ever since the costume event I just find the idea of running zinnia and sc Steven together in one team hilarious

[vocal flax]

SC Steven enables all Zinnia's alts very well

such a cool pairing

[fervent mortar]

Man imagine if Zinnia was a good unit

[round kite]

You have no idea how mad I was when every time I returned from a break, I kept getting slapped by hoenn va (the original run, break, returns to a rerun)

[vocal flax]

Hoennian must really love you

[desert ledge]

regarding lucky skills, the Dauntless/WW3 debate inside my head just reignited recently with the special attacker’s Hoenn circle; NY Wallace’s weather setting is slightly clunky though (needs to use either Max Flare or an EX sync, the latter of which is already wanted by Zinnia and a support EX ) so I haven’t switched over to Dauntless just yet

when will DeNA make it so we can choose between multiple lucky skill smh

[vocal flax]

so true! i like her Draco Meteor build more, but i had to change to WW3 for LG

you are right, NY Wallace has such a good synergy with Zinnia, but the timing is eh

but i think its good enough for DM build which doesnt require first sync much

[desert ledge]

I use WW3 so that the Dragon Ascent build doesn’t get screwed over more than it already is with CSMM and am too afraid of wasting deluxe lucky cookies to change it back

[vocal flax]

im in the same boat, but with creamy cookies

[desert ledge]

funny enough I do have more deluxe than creamy cookies lol, so it could just be a double-standard I’m setting for myself

[vocal flax]

I have twice as many deluxes as creamys

[cyan pilot]

does anyone use crispy cookies

[desert ledge]

Are they the status one or the type guard ones?

[vocal flax]

i think its status one

[cyan pilot]

type guard ones are chewy

for only being given to us in LG I do think they are quite useless

[desert ledge]

don’t want to get too off-topic here but I did use status cookies for some LG solos and for an attempted Anabel Ultimate Battle clear

[vocal flax]

as an LG enthusiast, chewy ones are quite useful in some situations

anyway, i stop with NY Wallace showcases for now, until the next multi gives me another dupe of him so i can candy him to 3/5

back to NC Rosa's showcases

[fervent mortar]

Chewy is nice to say fuck you in particular to entei, moltres and tornadus

and sometimes cobalion i guess, if you're unlucky with poison jab or doing a solo that lasts on bar 1 half for long

raikou too because of paralysis spam which is super annoying

[vocal flax]

they are surely annoying

[fervent mortar]

i can't yell too much at paralysis that's what made me win the thorton ub, but still

[vocal flax]

i wish every tank had innate Antifreeze when fighting Uxie

[fervent mortar]

the turn 1 ice punch freeze

[vocal flax]

even worse, turn 4 freeze

if you get frozen on turn 1, you reset right away

[fervent mortar]

the turn 1 ice punch freeze
every reset
you have to accept it

[vocal flax]

@honest spire Korrina's clear is here with SSA Cynthia Sprint EX showcase as well sadly clearing sides didnt go smoothly

I turned off Special Dmg Reduction param so both supports could contribute to damage, and it worked out

[cyan pilot]

my goodness the five different coherent sounds from five different angles

[vocal flax]

what a masterpiece

[honest spire]

Absolutely amazing

The PMUNs, Zone, double lucario

[vocal flax]

Took me a lot of attempts to figure out strat, grid and move order

[next gyro]

whyd you have to presync the clear if you just wanted to use korrina?

[vocal flax]

I detest post sync

[next gyro]

I see

[vocal flax]

Also, she would die to the sync

[next gyro]

Nah with there power of ssac and not using close combat you’d be fine

Why do you hate post sync?

[vocal flax]

I tried before, thats why i aimed to go pre sync

[vocal flax]

Because i cant pre sync if i go post sync

[next gyro]

[vocal flax]

this week's CSMM stages are a nightmare to test them out and i dont want to use the same combo constantly

[vocal flax]

Thank you @ruby crow for recommending this team cant believe i beat this second try

Tho I gave NC Rosa Ice Guard for better survivability

also @modest narwhal @cyan pilot my NC Rosa is lvl 150 now stop quoting me

[honest spire]

About time

[ruby crow]

Grats

[cyan pilot]

Congratulations

[modest narwhal]

nice!!

For both reasons

[fluid pecan]

Did you ping Runner just so he’d follow your forum?

[elfin scaffold]

[honest spire]

Definitely

[vocal flax]

[cinder solstice]

[vocal flax]

(After taking feedback of sped up ingame music being a pain to hear, I have muted ingame sounds and added background music theme hopefully this change will please your ears)

So 3/5 SC Rosa is my first investment for the upcoming Grass HS. Finally I free her from 1/5 jail for over 2 years || || She will be a worthy investment for both LG and HS - the 2 famous end game content for now.

I really don't like her multiplier setups, basically she has to alter between Sweet Scent and Seed Flare to setup for Easy Target and innate Smarty-Pants, respectively. That's why I brought Mix Red along with Rosa, because he happens to have good synergy with her (debuffs + terrain).

Before this clear I had tried doing more budget SC Rosa teams, but offtyping Sinnoh CS is very frustrating with cheap teams so forgive me for using such overkill team

[cinder solstice]

Why the last Seed Flare so laggy ?

[vocal flax]

i blame my potato phone

[elfin isle]

[next gyro]

Le moni unit

Hm yeah maybe I should take her out of 1/5 jail for hs

[fluid pecan]

Wth that sped up music was lovely

[static mural]

Honestly I enjoy it cuz I find it amusing

But if more people don't like it it's fine of course

[vocal flax]

It would be lovely if my phone didnt lag badly and ruined the sped up song

[static mural]

I see

[vocal flax]

I have irl stuffs in the next few days so here is a quick run of CSMM with overkill teams

[modest narwhal]

I always love seeing what people use for their overkill teams

Why are Katherine and egg Sylveon there

[vocal flax]

Penny carried them

[modest narwhal]

Well yeah

[honest spire]

SS Korrina my beloved

[vocal flax]

Katherine did 40k with - 4 atk and -4 eva even with Wise Entry x2, i think its pretty impressive

[modest narwhal]

Damn

[vocal flax]

The best Ghost nuker i have smh

[modest narwhal]

Pull for NY Dawn then

[vocal flax]

I just burnt 2 tech candies

[honest spire]

Does NY Dawn have a stronger nuke than Korrina?

[modest narwhal]

I'm not sure actually

[vocal flax]

Im not too sure but Helena is better than both

[modest narwhal]

[honest spire]

Absolutely not

Ah they're close, queens

[modest narwhal]

Ngl I completely forgot about that document, I was trying to figure it out using pomatools

[cyan pilot]

Is this your own clear? Make your own thread and post it there

[vocal flax]

He is my friend so its okay but yeah better making your own clear thread with context

[vocal flax]

The first Grass HS stage done

Vs. Ramos: 400 strength taken. Could go higher if rng cooperate with me so I might try again later

[cinder solstice]

You beat Surf man

[vocal flax]

the old man didnt even use Surf

and the sides got paralyzed quite often, i even gave Barry Normal Guard lel

oh boy SS Erika as the only sun setter is NOT fun

Sunny Day MPR2 my behatred

i might use SS Morty instead

[cinder solstice]

You’re so lucky

My Ramos opening is Surf

After Sync is 2 Surf

[vocal flax]

i resetted for item / Mud Shot on the first turn

[vocal flax]

Vs. Gardenia: 600 strength settled this team can go for 650 strength with better timing and rng. I should have picked Overwhelm 9 on Mallow so Acerola could preserve more HP

[elfin scaffold]

you're going for it right

[vocal flax]

mayyyyyyybe

[elfin scaffold]

my grass sync pair depth is terrible

so no point going for high scores this time around

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

i'll Chezei it in a couple weeks

[honest spire]

I'm also putting it off

Lacking a couple of the damage dealers

[vocal flax]

can confirm

having no Adaman really hurts

[honest spire]

yeahh

[elfin scaffold]

the last HS events outside of water, I've always lacked 2-3 damage dealers

[vocal flax]

im really confident with my Grass roster, but lacking top tier picks like Adaman and Vallow gate keeps me from top 100 chance

[honest spire]

Oh you also lack adaman?

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

I also lack Adaman

[stuck hatch]

[vocal flax]

Just got 3/5 Mixed today. Time to redo this team

[vocal flax]

Done

+700 strength

[vocal flax]

Vs. Mallow: 500 strength. Will try increasing to 550 or 600 later

Maybe CS2 on Selene and DC2 on Dawn will help a lot

[cinder solstice]

No SC Sonia for Mallow ?

[vocal flax]

i plan to use her on Erika

[vocal flax]

update: beat the stage with 600 strength, only 7k pts increase tho

[cyan pilot]

I too, lack Adaman

[elfin scaffold]

It’s nice to see your luck to compensate for my lack of 5 stars in that banner

[vocal flax]

you will get who you want soon

[vocal flax]

Man this HS is draining my sanity

Might give up going for 350k at this point

[fluid pecan]

Do chezei theme to preserve your sanity

[vocal flax]

Doing chezei theme with high strength drains much more

Lacking crucial pairs is punishing

[cyan pilot]

you have the high score medal already

it's fine don't stress yourself out

[fluid pecan]

Do chezei theme with low strength

[vocal flax]

But Grass is my only chance to go for top score for me I want to be competitive in HS for once

[iron olive]

You promised

I’m holding you accountable

[vocal flax]

No I didnt

Ramos and Erika are destroying me

And I haven't faced Cilan yet

[iron olive]

You got this!

[vocal flax]

Lend me 3/5 NC Leaf and 3/5 Vallow

[iron olive]

What Ramos team you running

Sc Sonia

[vocal flax]

NC Rosa, SC Rosa and Brendan

Doing 600 strength rn

I haven't even used Sconia yet

[iron olive]

Sc rosa have you seen Rosa Stan’s comp his one is real budget 80k

[vocal flax]

I used that exact comp before with 400 strength (I intended to improve it later). But Erika forces me to move Lyra to her stage

<- lack NC Leaf

Brilliant icon choices, Winston

[whole flame]

Gakon you traitor don't leave meeee

[next gyro]

No hs

Only lg

[fluid pecan]

How do you think I felt when you two both became LG stans

[next gyro]

I’m not wrong am I

It’s 90% lg

[round kite]

Don't worry gakon, I'm here cheering from the sidelines as I cry about my missing ss erika

[honest spire]

Join him then

Sounds simple enough to me

[elfin scaffold]

honesty y'all should tryhard at least one HS event

like i did with water

[honest spire]

Real

[whole flame]

with what units?

[whole flame]

I tried tryharding water

failed miserably

[honest spire]

MixRed

🏃‍♂️

[whole flame]

what is this mix red that you speak of

new year, old habits

don't be delusional smh

[honest spire]

[whole flame]

Water is my best type and I still couldn't compete so I see no reason to think I stand a chance in this gamemode

[honest spire]

Hey you grabbed the rewards you can save the bragging rights for LG ||🙄||

[whole flame]

as it should be, LG > HS

[honest spire]

[next gyro]

I am a hser

[fluid pecan]

> LG=HS

[honest spire]

voice of reason

[vocal flax]

After a couple of more attempts, I have come into conclusion

HS sucks

I will finish the rest of HS with much lower strength then we will be back with silly and funny clears

[whole flame]

you can say that again!

[modest narwhal]

[vocal flax]

Chez is a HS fan, that means her opinion is invalid!

[honest spire]

More valid than an LG maniac's

[vocal flax]

not in this thread

[honest spire]

Defeat the evil at its source, where better than this thread

[cinder solstice]

Finally

Skill Issue

[vocal flax]

its because of my roster limitation1!!!!

(since my thread is sinking into offtopic lately, im working on a CSMM clear with Lodge )

[round kite]

Noice

[vocal flax]

Lodge May being usable on 3k Sinnoh CSMM with heavy support fr fr

Lodge Volkner works as a debuffer here, and he happens to have good chip damage on an AOE move. I gave him MG2 and he didn't proc any during this and below clear

Happy birthday @elfin isle buddy It has been a while since the last time I used Hau on CSMM. Forgive me for using such overkill support but Hau and Volkner really need help to beat Aaron without terrain

[elfin isle]

No worries I would have used too overkill stuff too hahaha

Instead thank you for it ❤️ much love buddy

[vocal flax]

glad you like it!

[elfin isle]

Consider that discharge is a very mediocre move in this game and the two Raichus have no multiplers aside cs2 (and sde3 for Volkner) so NC Blue here is super justified

[vocal flax]

wait... Volkner has SDE3?

i forgot to pick that thing!!

nor i knew its existance 😭

[elfin isle]

He has double down 8 too

This guy lives only on super effective stages haha

[vocal flax]

just like his Electivire !!

[elfin isle]

Hahhahaha

True I forgot about that

[vocal flax]

I might try strike Grookey + SS Erika combo offtype in the future because giving Solar Blade to an eggmon is so stupid

(also can anyone guess which music theme I used?)

[fervent mortar]

excuse me what

[cinder solstice]

https://youtu.be/_kLHRyP3Ehs?si=YLW6a5plkYflUkdC

[fervent mortar]

that's so random wut

[vocal flax]

I can't load the image

[cinder solstice]

i can barely

Discord is dying

[vocal flax]

Shit platform

[cinder solstice]

I cant even see the emoji

[vocal flax]

Also this is a hint toward an upcoming clear of mine stay tuned

[cinder solstice]

[vocal flax]

Ah I can see it now. I chipped the sides so I could perform turn denial

[cinder solstice]

I just think this is just so rare that someone use battle theme from Anime

[fervent mortar]

ok it's not just me good

(that can't see images)

[vocal flax]

The anime has banger themes

[fervent mortar]

the what is not "why you did that" but "tf those damage" lol

[vocal flax]

You guys should listen to them

[vocal flax]

Ah

[cinder solstice]

I thought you would listen to something like this

https://youtu.be/G0zMT-Cd8qE?si=ZiyrGeEQLXcYJalS

[fervent mortar]

Zame's so good

[cinder solstice]

I like this Remix, plan to use it when 2nd Sonia Alt come

[fervent mortar]

assuming she gets another alt

[vocal flax]

This is good but I like the poma one more

[fervent mortar]

^

very rare Zame L

[cinder solstice]

[vocal flax]

Also can you guys watch my videos? Discord is having problem lol

My favorite and original Sconia team before SS Acerola is a thing

[fervent mortar]

lol

[cinder solstice]

I can watch it without any problem

[vocal flax]

[cinder solstice]

But not the emoji

[next gyro]

Discord is falling apart wtf

A

[cinder solstice]

Every emoji is dying except this one

[vocal flax]

Even my Sonia clear got bonked

Discord sucks

I will postpone posting NY Wallace offtype clear until the issue is resolved

[vocal flax]

@honest spire I double candied the circus

[honest spire]

Woah based

Welcome to the Hoenn Circus

He's definitely really fun to use, partly eases my eyes of the abomination that is Blacephalon

[vocal flax]

I got extremely luck in this run (guard on max + 10 stacks at the end)

This was my first run too

[vocal flax]

Thats the reason i invest on him

[honest spire]

Same

[honest spire]

I thought the KO passive was useless at first but he annihilates sides quickly so it's actually pretty dope

[vocal flax]

It is useless in LG for sure

He just 💥 on the way to victory

[honest spire]

Wow! A problem I'll never encounter! How fun is that

[desert ledge]

NY Wallace is the first unit with which I actually saw the PMUN or SMUN counter maxed out while playing

[fervent mortar]

smh not optimal not enough hoenn

[fervent mortar]

society if KO passives worked in LG

Lusamine stocks going crazy (not really but it'd help)

[stuck hatch]

My first was SC guzma

Laughed a bit the first time I saw this message
My second was NC rosa

[honest spire]

Wait they don't trigger on like Latios or Raikou's sides?

[fervent mortar]

they do

but that's 3 stages only

and at bar 1 (because clearly you don't want them to survive for longer) so not at the most useful moment for someone like NY wallace

[honest spire]

Ahh right

[vocal flax]

Give me more Hoenn units that work well with him

[fervent mortar]

lowkey zinnia

[vocal flax]

I have a plan for her but Im waiting for Dragon weak stage again because Wallace will outperform her everywhere lol

[desert ledge]

*highkey
if this week didn’t also have a Fire-weak stage I would have used that team comp for sure

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

What is Wise Entry x2

[dreamy sorrel]

You play without voice lines ?

[vocal flax]

no i muted the ingame sounds and add Shauntal's theme

my recorder is having a problem with recording ingame sounds

[dreamy sorrel]

Ohh

Rip

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

repost this clear because Discord messed up

[dreamy sorrel]

Every day I pray for SSlyra to get support ex role

[vocal flax]

Idk but I like field exr more

[dreamy sorrel]

I’d take either but the way I use her I want support lel

I have realized sprint is my least favorite ex role

[vocal flax]

[fluid pecan]

Mine is probably Strike or tech
The way I play damage dealers, they rarely need those boosts ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vocal flax]

Yeah I like utility EXR more (note to self: EXR SST Red next)

[fluid pecan]

Also what’s that emoji in the end of #1053291896778264597 ? It’s also in #1100102557109588099
Is it like a Vietnamese holiday?

[vocal flax]

Its lucky money you can google it🧧

[next gyro]

reminds me of them chinese envelopes

[cinder solstice]

Yes, it is called “Tết” or Lunar New Year. This is a very important Holiday for us and China

Japan used to have this too

[next gyro]

Oh it just is lunar new year

I thought it was different

Keke

[dreamy sorrel]

Strike is probably my favorite one that or support

[desert ledge]

posting mine in #poma-lounge to keep the clear threads pure

[vocal flax]

Gonna do a themed run this week ft. a favorite character of someone here

[elfin scaffold]

Imagine doing CS runs in 4 mins

[honest spire]

I hope this is not referencing recent conversation

[vocal flax]

Certainly not about what happened in #helper-lounge

[elfin scaffold]

no access

[honest spire]

Okay good

[vocal flax]

Try to get into cool kids club

[elfin scaffold]

[fluid pecan]

There are mod apps rn

[modest narwhal]

Gunning for the mod position so I can see what's going on in the Helper chat

[vocal flax]

a chaotic place

[elfin scaffold]

we can't even help ourselves chez, look how responsible we are in clearing weekly cs

[desert ledge]

wait are mods and helpers the same rank? I kinda just want to help out people without content curation responsibilities

[honest spire]

You can be a helper without having to contribute to content curation too, there's no obligation in that regard.

Gakon it's time to post a clear we're very off-topic in your thread

[vocal flax]

I haven't even opened the game yet very busy rn

[next gyro]

I want access soley to see what gakon is saying

[dreamy sorrel]

omg Calem

[dreamy sorrel]

#No Acess I wonder what it could be

[vocal flax]

Im sure no one would expect the featured character(s)!

[vocal flax]

Not me picking Max HP 6 on Lucian and wonder why he is so bulky

Im on R4 rn so expect to see my weekly run soon

[vocal flax]

This week run featuring an unexpected trainer - Giovanni - who happens to be rancer's and Vantner's favorite trainer (according to the list for my themed run back then )

Because I didnt pull the scammy Team Rocket variety so sadly I don't have enough Giovanni for 5 teams, I decided to bring his son Silver to R5

Videos are coming up, so please wait

[modest narwhal]

I knew it was Giovanni as soon as you mentioned the theme plan, but I thought it was a ploy to get Aurochs here

[vocal flax]

Damn my theme is so guessable?

Aurochs is lurking everywhere so he will come here eventually

R1: Bertha the Sinnoh's worst nightmare

[modest narwhal]

I just knew you mentioned pinging Aurochs to get him here and put two and two together

[vocal flax]

I did? I don't recall saying about that

[modest narwhal]

Oop, just checked, you mentioned slandering Gio over in Cami's thread, for some reason I interpreted that as referring to getting Aurochs here

[vocal flax]

R2: I like the little synergy between LGio and Courtney here. SC Steven was the one who carries gauge and enabled Courtney to destroy things easier

[next gyro]

Gakon why is your phone dying

Also wow that’s a cool clear didn’t know Courtney could do that

And lodge gio could live that

[vocal flax]

Courtney could nuke Aaron just fine without Steven

But Steven helped LGio surviving till the end

[desert ledge]

forgot SC Steven lowered attack also

[next gyro]

Yeah but why is your gio clear so smooth

But your gio clear is like Guh

[vocal flax]

My phone has been showing ages lately and it only has 3 gb ram

[next gyro]

[vocal flax]

My old videos were way more lag

R3: flinch galore

[vocal flax]

R4: Bianca stonks

[honest spire]

Nice Giovanni team

Penny makes it so you can actually max out his SpAtk without Anni May Brendan couldn't

[vocal flax]

And she debuffs spatk as well for Anime def May's best friend

[vocal flax]

So I just got 5/5 Victor somehow ||huge addition to LG stuff ||

In this clear I showcased how Victor only used 3 gauges for the entire match, and I purposely chose 2 slow partners for him (altho Raihan has accel under sand). His dps was lackluster because he didnt have any damage multipliers activated

[cinder solstice]

Give me your HS team

[honest spire]

Oh right Victor has a ground type move

[vocal flax]

Check the pins for my LG teams I scored 0 pts on Erika and Cilan so I don't bother posting my teams

[vocal flax]

Coming up next week: an entire themed clear featuring 5 alts of a character

[honest spire]

Hmm and it's someone's favourite?

[vocal flax]

I forgot about that part but yes they are favorite of at least one person here

[honest spire]

Interesting

Time to go to the "one Marnie alt away from having all Blue alts" message to see who you have 5 alts of

[cinder solstice]

Red

[vocal flax]

[honest spire]

It's Lillie, Serena or Red

Could be Blue too actually

[vocal flax]

[cyan pilot]

Steben

[vocal flax]

I dont even have his OG attire

Also feel free to ping me in #poma-lounge to tell me about your guesses (or i will be bonked here)

[cyan pilot]

May? (Lodge alt is cheap but )

[next gyro]

No regular Steven that’s kinda crazy

[vocal flax]

ikr

[fervent mortar]

Well he's kinda trash so not surprising

[elfin scaffold]

that's a gross thing to say mael, albeit meta

[fervent mortar]

There's no reason to pull for him when Solgaleo exists

If I ever get him it'd be from one of those given champion events

[elfin scaffold]

i just have the rng gods give a copy to me thru the mix scout

[fervent mortar]

I'd be kinda mad to get him over anything else in mix

[desert ledge]

I got him from before Sol’s powerboost and don’t blame anyone else who did so in the slightest

[fervent mortar]

that is fair

[lucid plover]

I got Steven for free and have never used him

[fervent mortar]

seems about right

[dapper tide]

Steven the flinch lord cares not for such small-minded remarks

But actual seriousness, Steven’s served me well for all Steel weak stages except Steel weak Glacia, I can absolutely vouch for him as a damage-dealer pick

Anyway, could it be an Elesa theme clear?

[next gyro]

Same

[whole flame]

got 3 dupes of Steven in a white day banner 2 years ago and he's still my main steel damage dealer. granted I'm very biased, I like him as a character

[modest narwhal]

I finally got him to 5/5 a few days ago, maybe I'll give him a try sometime

[vocal flax]

Imagine having Steven

[vocal flax]

half sync cd my behatred

[whole flame]

Thought you liked it?

I thought we agreed that half sync was fun

[honest spire]

It is

[modest narwhal]

[honest spire]

I used to strongly dislike it but have come to appreciate it

[modest narwhal]

I like it when it means I can use Gloria to her highest potential

[vocal flax]

not during my silly theme clears!!!

[honest spire]

Imagine relying on the enemy's sync for personal damage

Shit unit

[modest narwhal]

Did you see my Gloria clear smh

[vocal flax]

imagine needing 4/5+ to work

[modest narwhal]

Everyone out here struggling against Steel-weak Bertha and my girl sweeps like it's nothing

I'll be having none of this Gloria slander

[honest spire]

I can slander her, I've got her 5/5

[modest narwhal]

Then you should know that she's great!

[honest spire]

Mmm

[whole flame]

The one using all 5 alts of one character?

Just use all 5 Reds and obliterate Bertha with articuno smh

[vocal flax]

its the first round and im forced to offtyp

[whole flame]

🥱

R1 done, now move to 4k offtype one(s)

#1153583498687414283 message (for convenience purrpose)

[whole flame]

Wow people are doing 4k offtypes huh

Should I torture myself with that next week....ugh

[honest spire]

Yes

Join me

[vocal flax]

i only intend to 4k on 2 stages, but i might have to lower the score by a tiny bit

[honest spire]

Ping me when you post I would like to see

Bertha & Lucian have low base HP this week, may be easier there if you can tackle gimmicks. Aaron is 25k and Flint is 28k

[vocal flax]

i did Lucian and Flint with the 4k clear being on Flint

[honest spire]

Oh damn nice

On type or off type?

[vocal flax]

both are offtype so far

[honest spire]

4k offtype is quite gratifying

[vocal flax]

i think i only did 3950 pts

because i took No Status off

2 4k stages done

[fervent mortar]

everyone's doing 4k offtype uh

maybe i should give it a shot

[vocal flax]

its just a part of my theme, my first stage is only 3k

my theme clear involves overkill pairs so i want to increase difficulty

[vocal flax]

So this week's theme clear is done, featuring... Red the living legend! and congrats to @cinder solstice and @whole flame (tho unintentionally) who correctly guessed the spotlight trainer!

Because of all Red alts being strong and meta, I made every stage offtype to challenge myself. ||And to flex my newly upgraded 3/5 EXR NC Red|| In addition, the Flint and Aaron clear are ~4k pts Videos are coming up later so stay tuned

Next week's theme clear will feature Blue as the spotlight trainer, to celebrate 3/5 NC Blue

[cinder solstice]

[static mural]

[whole flame]

WHOO

Blue next?

surely the last step is to do Leaf to complete the trio

[vocal flax]

I only own 3 Leaf alts

[whole flame]

base, lodge, and?

[vocal flax]

ss

I got her to 4/5 today, and she is my next candy target

She will have an own theme in the future, but not now

[whole flame]

based

[whole flame]

whaaat you don't have one of the gauntlet goddesses NC Leaf

[vocal flax]

I didnt have enough gems back then

[honest spire]

Are you one Leaf alt away from having all Blue alts?

[fervent mortar]

using 2 SEUN units with a normal type what a flex move

[vocal flax]

Listen they are my best Hugh enablers available

[honest spire]

How does Redlax enable Hugh?

[fervent mortar]

(not)

[honest spire]

Apart from the SEUN ofc

[vocal flax]

normal theme skill

Well thats a fixed slot

[vocal flax]

R1: tfw your best Electric nuker is Elesa

R2: my first time doing 4k clear not too bad with op units carrying

|| @honest spire ||

[fervent mortar]

first ever use of max guard with sst red

[vocal flax]

the only moment when its useful

R3: another one

[fervent mortar]

no way who would've guessed an op master fair and the first paid only pair can 4k offtype

[honest spire]

[vocal flax]

[honest spire]

Time for themed 4k clears

[vocal flax]

[fervent mortar]

when we have more parameters MAYBE

[vocal flax]

R4: originally Lodge Leaf was the tank, but Bertha hit hard even without sand so Bede came to rescue

[fervent mortar]

"opponent no trainer move" for 100 pts (in theory that'd mean they keep attacking and applying pressure, in practive it would mean sleep and flinch chains are free wins)
"no pokemon status move" for 50 pts, sounds like something they could do
please dena we need more parameters

[honest spire]

Begging

[vocal flax]

and ofc field/sprint take x3 damage

[fervent mortar]

for 25 pts because let's be real these would just be too free

it's hard to think of more parameters ngl

[vocal flax]

"enemies getting double sync buffs" sounds like balanced

[fervent mortar]

"opponent ramp 1 / 2 / 3" opponents get 1 / 2 / 3 P&SMUN every time they use a move

[fluid pecan]

There’s already sync buff up

[honest spire]

Opponents start triple queuing 500 pts

[vocal flax]

every move of opponents has a chance of calling fissure

R5: Hugh and his 2 "enablers"

[lucid plover]

Omfg bruh—

[vocal flax]

wassup

[whole flame]

Max sync countdown -3

Take all sync countdown parameters and your opponent syncs right away

Like that giovanni battle

[vocal flax]

Gakon's worst nightmare

[whole flame]

Gloria and Hop thriving

And only Chezei rejoices

[vocal flax]

SS Leon thriving too

Richu happy

[next gyro]

I still hate half sync

I am a loyal post syncer

[whole flame]

Then half sync should make no difference if you're post syncing either way

[next gyro]

It speeds up the damage you take by a good amount

And my teams are about sustain damage so the defense requirements get higher when they get stronger faster

[vocal flax]

I see

[fervent mortar]

i'm sorry that's at least 1000

it'd be so obnoxious lol

[stuck hatch]

Triple flinch teams would be funny

[honest spire]

HE4 Cynthia when all 3 mons queue Fire Blast

[round kite]

Is she better than BP soph

[round kite]

Lmao not my articuno becoming roasted chicken

I had an almost clear where icy wind froze my last Mon when I could have taken the win otherwise

[modest narwhal]

I can't rejoice with that, they would just infinitely sync I'd have to use hyper sync accel myself

[vocal flax]

Yes

[vocal flax]

Psychic HS is not for me

[modest narwhal]

You can do it!

Trust me it'll be great

[vocal flax]

i said that to myself during Grass HS

lacking Adaman and VMallow sucks

Grass is my best type and i dont even have a chance to make into top 500

[modest narwhal]

Just get all the Psychic types off the mix scout

[vocal flax]

today is my last pull on mix i wont touch that banner until next rotation

[modest narwhal]

How dare you make smart financial decisions /s

[vocal flax]

I should do support only theme sometime, its pretty fun

Also here is my first showcase of 1/5 Iono. I want to do more showcases of her next week because this week is brutal

[vocal flax]

@spring crane your interest in Grimsley nuke inspired me to record the literally best team for him

[spring crane]

Oh wow. How is it even possible to get that much damage on sync. I must be doing something wrong even if not EXed

Don't have NC calem though

SC Steven is crazy ngl

[vocal flax]

Yeah he is still the best physical enabler

[vocal flax]

Maybe Lucian still had positive buffs? during my test run i forgot to click Snatch and he dealt 88k on his nuke

[spring crane]

Oh. I did not use SC Steven for him just was trying a bare basics run. Guess the defense debuffs, EX, SEUN and zone all multiplied does get a much better nuke but 170K really seemed crazy high

[vocal flax]

I was surprised too

[spring crane]

The snatch I did was like on the last turn and remembered that they just put a physical barrier

[vocal flax]

Who were his partners for your run?

[vocal flax]

Yeah its a relief. Every other Dark weak stage has buffs just right before the first sync

[spring crane]

Hehe. Was with Karen and Lodge blue

[vocal flax]

I would replace Karen with Nanu and nuke with him for defense debuffs

iirc Lucian has lower resistance to defense debuffs than usual

[spring crane]

Oh. That makes sense

[vocal flax]

Ah also forgot to mention that i did my run on round 2, thats why the numbers were higher

[spring crane]

I guess the multiplicative effect really amplifies things

[vocal flax]

[spring crane]

That was quite an eye opener. Thanks

[vocal flax]

Np

[next gyro]

Gakon your phone is dying

[vocal flax]

Its just like that when i record

Otherwise its fine

[vocal flax]

Not sure if i should beat my previous records or just get 100 streaks

The rotation is very easy

[whole flame]

you can easily beat your previous record with this rotation

[vocal flax]

The only obstacle is time

sob

😭

[modest narwhal]

Take this one off! Save your energy for HS

[vocal flax]

True! I need energy to score 180k pts!

[modest narwhal]

And to go beyond!

[elfin scaffold]

Gakon gonna channel inner Santos HS

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

[whole flame]

at least hit 100 wins with me Gakon

[elfin scaffold]

If you won’t stop at 69 wins, I expect 169 wins

[modest narwhal]

[elfin scaffold]

[whole flame]

[cinder solstice]

[vocal flax]

100 streaks or bust

[modest narwhal]

Note to self, don't ever claim to plan for any amount of clears for the LG

[vocal flax]

I need to work on this week theme before LG

Its Blue alts theme in case you forgot

[whole flame]

yay

[vocal flax]

This week's theme is done just right before the storm

all clears were offtype to make the theme harder and an excuse of using op pairs

Vs. Bertha: The grandma is always annoying, regardless of stage. She hits hard even without max offensive stats, and HS1 ruins many strategy not involving sync accel / staggering so I allowed myself to use the cheat code

Vs. Aaron: EBlue's offtype performance sucks, and Aaron has fcking tons of HP for no reasons. NY Wallace came to rescue after SS Red, Silver and SS Hilda dps failed to carry Blue

Vs. Flint: Introducing my newly upgraded 3/5 NC Blue, and Flint is the perfect stage to showcase his awesome utility tools (namely debuff tiles)

Vs. Lucian: Before you says anything, Cerena was an enabler instead of a dmg dealer here, and she stayed in Dark form most of time. LRosa's output is very good for a 4* unit, even offtype

Vs. Cynthia: "Accuracy debuffs? No problem" - Blue

[modest narwhal]

Why isn't Lyra EXed

[vocal flax]

1/5 moment

[modest narwhal]

Mine's 1/5 and she's still EXed

[vocal flax]

i looked at your name and i wondered why did you want to save Arch for a second

[modest narwhal]

Gotta save him from all the Anti Arch Agendas of course

[static mural]

Same, but I do mean to ex her someday

[vocal flax]

for me i dont even know when i get her to 3/5

should not have yolo'd too many banners before

[static mural]

Idk if I'll candy her either Glad I got her off a daily tho

[vocal flax]

meanwhile she took me a pity

[static mural]

[honest spire]

Why is event blue not EX ... the free pair

[honest spire]

I know I can always count on you 🤝

Until you betray me with LG but that's a future problem

[vocal flax]

imagine using him outside of LG

When you have sub 200 spatk and your multipliers require being ontype, you know you have to get a lot of help

But yeah Cobalion being in LG is blessing for him

[whole flame]

I need to craft skill gears specifically for him I think because damn

[vocal flax]

Craft skill gears for solos first

Speaking of LG, my EBlue still has DC2 lucky skill since Latias LG

[whole flame]

already did that to make my Sycamore vs Entei solo less hellish

[vocal flax]

Are you gonna solo Azelf with him?

[whole flame]

I gave up using EBlue on Latias last time lol. EQ hurts

[vocal flax]

I will convince Tai doing that solo too

[whole flame]

Sycamore? idk I'd probably add a defense buffer

but I'll look into it

[vocal flax]

It will be painful, skill gears will help a lot decreasing the difficulty

[whole flame]

I'm not in the mood to give him Stoic

gotta be careful with my 2* cookies consumption

[vocal flax]

Nah you need Vigilance

[whole flame]

at least until we get a new source

huh. solo doc has him with stoic

[vocal flax]

Azelf buffs crit on half bar 2

I must have misremembered

[cinder solstice]

Who is the cheapest fire pair i can duo with 5/5 SS Morty ?

5/5 Morty have Gradual Healing so he so overheal even eat 3 crit Stone Edge

[stuck hatch]

An eggmon that can burn paralyse(?) prob

[cinder solstice]

No, still overkill sadly

Morty got Poison from 1st Poison Jab and he still survive until the end

[vocal flax]

Strike Scorbunny

[whole flame]

he has sunny disposition so rn I'm putting him in azelf

plus he's just bulky in general and I know very few of my tanks can take Azelf

[vocal flax]

Resetting for million Sunny Day MPR my beloved (ik he doesnt need a lot)

[cinder solstice]

Ty

Need 2 Sunny Day mpr, 1 Tm mpr and some lucky 10% Burn (i got 2 in this run)

[vocal flax]

I thought Flamethrower had 30% burn for a moment lol

[cinder solstice]

Azelf moment

~~Really why that thing make like 30% Burn ~~

[vocal flax]

Azelf has innate 90% burn chance for sure

[whole flame]

stealing this for my plan B in case SS Morty on Azelf doesn't work

[vocal flax]

You have 5/5 Morty too nov?

[cinder solstice]

4/5 already has Gradual Healing

[vocal flax]

I believe 2/5 is possible with lots of TM and Sunny Day MPR

But im not resetting for that

And im low on eggmon materials too, dont want to invest on an eggmon i never use outside of Cobalion

[whole flame]

3/5 actually

does 5/5 help very much?

[cinder solstice]

3/5 should be enough with pot Mpr, Sunny Day mpr, Tm Mpr and 10% Burn
