High Score

[stray comet]

who should I use versus Marlon?

[quasi bone]

what was annoying is the time spent watching your rank and using stamina which this event doesn't have

[stray comet]

holy fuck

[rustic summit]

1.5x bonus compared to 2x

or something

[quasi bone]

thought it was worse than that

I know Gloria went to 3x

[stray comet]

oh my god

[quasi bone]

or was it 4

[stray comet]

[rustic summit]

i think 5/5 gloria was 5*?

idk

not sure

[stray comet]

do you mean 5x?

[rustic summit]

5x/* basically the same thing mathematically

[quasi bone]

I had 3/5 Gloria so don't remember

[rustic summit]

granted, 5* is probably confusing since that's also 5-star around these parts

but yes, i do mean 5x

[zealous elm]

IIRC Gloria was something like x3 at 1/5, x3,5 at 2/5 and so on

Or something close to that

[stray comet]

yeah I was like, "of course she's 5-star, she's a limited pair"

[stray comet]

ohhhh i see what you did there

[sleek crystal]

Is that good

[amber warren]

What is towering force?

[ocean warren]

you want an average of 36k per run to get the full rewards, if you can get 3k more on another run then yeah you're good

[quasi bone]

Here so was 2x at 1/5 Gloria and went up 0.5

so was right at 3/5 it was 3x

[amber warren]

What is towering force ability of Lana?

I cant find it on pin

[worldly parcel]

[weary rivet]

Sync multiplier

Based on def

[rustic summit]

sync moves do more damage the higher her defences are

[amber warren]

bruh

[rustic summit]

nessa can lower it pretty reliably, if you have her

[amber warren]

Lana is atk or sp atk?

[ocean warren]

atk, physical

[sleek crystal]

Is this good with 250 str?

[amber warren]

👀will test on that

[ocean warren]

you're not gonna get nearly enough points sadly with only 2 water

that'll be like less than 20k, or maybe a bit around

[hybrid nova]

6k away from gold coin
Any suggestions?

[ocean warren]

although

[sleek crystal]

3 water is impossible

[amber warren]

👀 throw malon in and hope for 3 crit on May

I do that

[sleek crystal]

But may isn't going to do shit by herself

She need's Brendan buffs and debuffs

[amber warren]

[ocean warren]

you can attempt it and see the results

it should be fine

but Marlon is mostly physical against a SpDef support

[sleek crystal]

Lana tank

[slate sphinx]

Not sure will it help but anyways

[amber warren]

I even throw 1/5 Ss Selena in i think she isnt as strong as May

[ocean warren]

you don't have Psyduck Misty? @hybrid nova

she's amazing for survavibility on stages you can comfortably dps, like Misty herself lol

[amber warren]

Lana leach life and team guard surely can tank pretty well against marlon

i mean in 250 pt

[hybrid nova]

I do, I considered using her for one team but ended up picking a different unit

So replace MC with Misty on challenge Misty team?

[ornate cobalt]

So far still only 84,000 points in I don’t know what to do

[amber warren]

vaporeon misty

[hybrid nova]

Well, Vaporeon Misty removes defence buffs

[amber warren]

She dodge like god

[ocean warren]

she also has a really great nuke at 3/5 assuming you can buff her crit

[amber warren]

but cant kill side unit tho

The thing i hate about this event

[paper mist]

do sync buffs count towards the buffing score?

[ornate cobalt]

The best way to attempt to get all the points is a full water team… but like arghhhh looking at my roster I don’t think I have good enough strikers to complete the rest once I use my good units

[amber warren]

What team should i use for Lana. I still need 90k point more and i have Lana, Archie, Nessa left

[ornate cobalt]

I guess I go for dojo Gloria is she physical water most of my roster is special making hilbert a odd one out in terms of buffing

[zealous elm]

Is this a keeper?

[ocean warren]

yes

if you're aiming for rewards it's more than great

[hybrid nova]

Thank you

[ocean warren]

good job!!

[hybrid nova]

It’s amazing how 1 unit can make a difference

[zealous elm]

I'm aiming for best I can, but optimizing the right str seems really bothersome

[modest ginkgo]

How man points you guys usually do

[amber warren]

180k is the goal

[ornate cobalt]

Would 300 + 3 water types be enough I am so lost

[ocean warren]

no

you need only 150 STR at minimum

[modest ginkgo]

So

[ocean warren]

with 3 water pairs

[amber warren]

Only 150?

[ocean warren]

yes

[amber warren]

How much it result?

[ocean warren]

you average 36k

[modest ginkgo]

150 3x water to get to 180k

[amber warren]

[ornate cobalt]

AhhhYou

[amber warren]

I will make 200 last 3 stage for sure

[ocean warren]

you can reset each stage individually if something screws up

[rustic summit]

woo pushed lana to 300 str 294k

[ornate cobalt]

Well my roster has gone to shhhhhhhhat I don’t know what to do here though

[ocean warren]

and you can at worse, push your better teams closer to 200 STR to get the gap

[modest ginkgo]

Ah okay thanks

[spark storm]

There it is

[ornate cobalt]

This is what gave me like 84,000 I reset a little and got there

[amber warren]

how many point needed till 180k

[ocean warren]

well duh you're barely using any water pair

the whole event is about that

using non water pairs is extremely handicapping

and your water roster is extremely solid

May / PsyMisty vs Misty
SS Lysandre on Nessa
Nessa on Archie for starters

you can also use Archie on Misty instead of May to abuse his Thunder

and put May on Marlon

Lana is gonna be the sole issue, like for most people
Don't forget to grid your OG Kris too she's a killer

[rustic summit]

she do be a toughie

[amber warren]

Better roster than me tho

[rustic summit]

though many people - myself included - have found some success against Lana by using OG Misty and getting some lucky dodges

[ocean warren]

yeah that's totally fair

i used Crasher Wake for flinches, double aggra

[amber warren]

I think Bea, Hilbert and OG Misty can clear 250pt Lana but dunno how much it result

Because i always miss quadequeue

[ornate cobalt]

I’ll give em a try thanks so 150 strength for each?

[ocean warren]

hmm

yeah

but you can attempt 170 or 180 with like May or Lyss teams

[quasi bone]

any reason you didn't use B thunderbolt I think its called earlier?

[ocean warren]

all your Misty are also super valuable, all three of them
Psyduck Misty has massive potion usage, tankiness and synchro healing 1 if needed
Base Misty has healing and evasion buffs, plus spdef
SS Misty has crazy nuke with full stat dispel and spdef buffs

[ornate cobalt]

Ah really?

[rustic summit]

ye, misty came in clutch all three times

[ornate cobalt]

Do you think I could use pys misty to just spam water gun for the hit rule?

[rustic summit]

haze vs marlon
evasion vs lana
defences/healing vs nessa

[ocean warren]

i wouldn't think too much about the hit rule

those are just really hard scoring stuff

[rustic summit]

it's nice to get but don't make it the crux of your scores

[amber warren]

hit rule increase = time decrease

[rustic summit]

if you can squeeze a hit in, that's nice, but don't sacrifice a run for that WATER GUN DPS

[severe basin]

lets goooo

[ocean warren]

congratz!

[rain sierra]

All 300. Nessa hurt me the most but it's probably Elio's fault

[ocean warren]

yeah so that's another smart strat

2 water + 1 hyper carry but inflated STR

like 230-250 i believe?

[severe basin]

usually went for 230

[ocean warren]

@ornate turret might wanna update your pin to add that info if possible for people that don't wanna fully monotype please
1 Carry Off Type + 2 Water at 250 to 300 STR on some stages is possible to get the minimum for rewards
(i know your pin already says something in those lines, but people have been asking for exact values lol cause they can't figure out STR)
also sorry for ping

[rustic summit]

ayy same archie team as me :LanaEmoteHere:

[rain sierra]

Archie is oddly easy but maybe because Lana counters him

[rustic summit]

lana and nessa are the hidden bosses of this one imo

[rain sierra]

Still hate the lousy Waterfall flinch. They always seem to proc it at the worst time

[spark storm]

Wanted to maximize it's damage for after the 3 syncs

[rain sierra]

No recovery definitely hurts

I suppose better players can time their flinch but I am not gonna entertain that thought

[severe basin]

ok so
misty 350 strength
marlon 200
lana 200
nessa 200 (could go higher there tbh)
archie 230

[rain sierra]

Also, for anyone wanting to get SS Lysandre for Nessa, don't bother if 1/5

[ornate cobalt]

Oof

[rustic summit]

2/5 lyss is doable vs nessa, but boy was it an ordeal

[ornate cobalt]

Well I do wanan go for Gloria but I haven’t seen anyone mention her here

[amber warren]

that lana team is spicy what is the point picked and strat

[ornate cobalt]

If I do get lysandere though that’s a bonus

[severe basin]

that 350 ash carried so hard

[rustic summit]

pushed misty to 425 there, no issues . . . .

more

[rain sierra]

Mostly just whittle down Lana with debuffs

[amber warren]

How you can kill side?

[plush raven]

Cant get to beat misty with that same team

[amber warren]

And how many point you picked

[rain sierra]

I'd recommend going after sides first if using tech. Or at least whittle them down so you can take them down with a hit or two

[plush raven]

250

[ornate turret]

ok working on it

[amber warren]

[timber hull]

I wonder what will be the cut-off score for master rank (top 10000)

[paper mist]

every time I redo a fight my score gets lower

[hybrid nova]

It’s interesting that I got the minimum score of 180,000 (well 184,000) but I am ranked 4,150 which is in the top 10,000 master rank
Of course that will slowly drop but I do wonder how many people will be bothered to do the 180,000

[rain sierra]

Currently at top 200 with 270k. I assume it will drop later

[amber warren]

Gold coin tho

cant miss that juicy coin

[rain sierra]

Pretty sneaky of them to prevent us from checking lineups of top players

[hybrid nova]

Wouldn’t be surprised if I drop to at least 8,300

[rain sierra]

I think it's safe to assume most won't bother with this mode

[amber warren]

imagine they left 300 gems at the end

[rain sierra]

It already annoys me slightly. I doubt the usual casuals can take it

[plush raven]

its really annoying

[hybrid nova]

Prestige
Me: I have done this battle as many times as I could with as high a score I could get with the units I have
Game: you barely get enough points for bronze candy coin

High-score
Me: finally got gold coin
Game: congrats for being in the top 5k

[rain sierra]

For comparison, it's much easier to do 10 streaks in LG than doing 180k in TM

And many don't even do 10 streaks

[paper mist]

sad

[amber warren]

10 streak in LG it got old

[rustic summit]

450 misty cleared with minimal issues

i must go even further beyond!

[rain sierra]

Like, these stages are not pushover. Each bosses is armed to kill (And the sides finish you off if you ignore them)

[ocean warren]

nah each boss is there to test your game knowledge and then there's Lana who's here to make people uninstall the game

[amber warren]

the side is real boss tho

[hybrid nova]

https://tenor.com/view/plus-ultra-mha-my-hero-academia-boku-no-hero-academia-bnha-gif-26542014

[rain sierra]

Knowledge? What's that? Pulling limited pairs?

[ocean warren]

tbf even with limited pairs if you don't triple queue properly they screw you

[amber warren]

i can clear if i have enough water unit tho

[ocean warren]

i mean i had to quadqueue on most of my runs too

well for higher scoring in my case

[amber warren]

quadqueue i thought i dont have to use that technique ever again after i had 50 ex pair

[full lark]

Maybe it’s because I used SS Blue + Archie + Champ Serena, but Lana was surprisingly easy for me

Marlon and kinda Nessa were the problem stages for me, mainly due to no Rain access and/or lack of reliable healing

[amber warren]

Marlon sound easy tho

[rain sierra]

You cannot even cheese with flinch or sleep since they get temporary immunity upon recovery

And Nessa will always reward you with back to back EQ

[onyx crystal]

Well you do gain advantage from denials, you just can’t do it continuously

[ornate cobalt]

Should I use ss Kris and who else?

[rain sierra]

That's why I said no cheese

[ocean warren]

SS Kris with OG May was good for me as ramping May up on her own is trash but she has good damage potential

[hybrid nova]

Bonuses: 1000 for confusing the opponent
That one Misty stage: immune to confusion

[ocean warren]

however if you wanna spread the rain, since both have rain
then you'll have to figure out May's buffing another way

[ornate cobalt]

Ha I just slapped misty with nay

Archie?

[ocean warren]

that works too

[paper mist]

Banner: Advertises LySSandre
Event: LySSandre is only usable in less than half of the fights

[ornate cobalt]

If only Calem could count as water type

[chilly marlin]

I don’t have any water types at all for this event except for the free ones what do I do😭

Should I get ss blue from the ticket?

[rain sierra]

He's not even exceptional in that certain stage

[paper mist]

get the highests score you can for the rewards and don't worry about the ranking

I used him against Lana instead of Nessa

[chilly marlin]

I only have these

It sucks that they didn’t count Cyrus as a water type

[rustic summit]

there we go, broke 300k after 475 misty

[rain sierra]

Should have trained more water type as they said

[chilly marlin]

I’m new

I don’t even own water types

[plush raven]

which teams are you using?

[chilly marlin]

So there’s no way for me to do this?

[rain sierra]

At this point, you can try grab as much point you can from 3 teams

[frosty glacier]

one frustrating thing I realized is that most enemy teams want a physical team (off and def), but there aren't as many water-type phy damage dealers and phy def supports

[chilly marlin]

I thought that without any water types, you don’t get any scores

It’s what I read from what Lear said

[ornate cobalt]

2/5 done
Gonan use hilbert nessa and vapemisty

[rustic summit]

i'm pushing misty specifically since that's my best team by far, it consists of 3/5 Archie, 5/5 May and 3/5 SS Kris, all of them are EX'd too

[quasi bone]

you can get points with no water

[rain sierra]

Yes, that's why you put the 3 water pairs in 3 teams with 2 pairs that are strong

[quasi bone]

just a lot harder

[rain sierra]

So at least you can gain some point from there

[ornate cobalt]

It’s not enough points if your trying to get dwarfs

Rewards*

[rain sierra]

At least 1 water pair or x0

[quasi bone]

with three water types and being new getting anything will be tough

[chilly marlin]

So I don’t need blue?

[rain sierra]

Imagine beating the hardest stage but 0 point since no multiplier

[chilly marlin]

I haven’t used my ticket yet

[quasi bone]

Get Blastoise

[frosty glacier]

which ones the hardest stage?

[rain sierra]

It's rather pointless since you just cannot get enough

[rustic summit]

Blue is quite good and many people would recommend him if you're new. But if you like Red or Leaf better as characters or their pokemon better, then don't feel pressured by picking the meta choice.

[amber warren]

right time to get SS blue

[frosty glacier]

well, with this water event, there's more incentive to get SS Blue

[rustic summit]

there certainly is

[chilly marlin]

At this point I don’t have a particular want, I just want strong metas

[rustic summit]

go for blue then

[amber warren]

meta user

[rain sierra]

SS Blue is definitely a good pair to consider. I can vouch for that, but to get him for this mode when you're not prepared, that sounds excessive

[chilly marlin]

Since I’m saying until anni

Hopefully ash comes back because he’s the only one I want

[frosty glacier]

SS Blue is actually one of the few water-type defensive supports

[rain sierra]

I can understand if you have 14 water pairs and missing one more but you only have 3

[ornate cobalt]

Oof I used may who should I use for marlon?

[chilly marlin]

I’m just going to sit this event out😔

[rain sierra]

Any water tech should go to Marlon

[rain sierra]

Just toss in 3 teams at least

[chilly marlin]

Can I just do one and reset and get the 100 gems and do the next?

[ornate cobalt]

Ah giggle cakes this what’s left of my roster

[rustic summit]

you sure can

it's worth firing through the battles even without modifiers/water types for the gems and level-up items

[chilly marlin]

Is resetting infinite or on cooldown

[rain sierra]

Infinite

[frosty glacier]

aren't there like 14 free/gen pool water units?

[chilly marlin]

I’ll at least try to get as much as I can

[chilly marlin]

I’m not pulling until anni

[frosty glacier]

yes you can keep re-trying for 2 weeks

[rain sierra]

A new player won't have them all at 3/5

[chilly marlin]

And I’m not using tickets until anni either since pool will get added or smth

So I’m just restricted

[spring pollen]

This me current high scores

[frosty glacier]

ah yes, then just do your best with who you have for this event. don't expect to get 180k

[chilly marlin]

Oh I don’t want a high score I just want the 100 gems from completion

[rain sierra]

You should be able to do that

[chilly marlin]

How long do I have to play to have such a big roster like you guys?

[rain sierra]

Each stage has its own reset

[chilly marlin]

I’ve only been playing for like 2 weeks now

[ornate cobalt]

Is this fine for marlon?

[rustic summit]

my account is a day 1 account, but i only really started playing properly at the 1.5 year anniversary - your account will gradually get stronger and stronger with time, the important thing is to keep playing and levelling up your roster

[ornate turret]

some 1 year old accounts got the full rewards so you should be able to clear most if not all game mode in that time

[frosty glacier]

that's very subjective question since "you guys" varies quite a bit. if you play consistently for 3-6 months, your roster will look much better

[rustic summit]

grimsley's gonna suck ass there, i'd swap him out for a tech

[chilly marlin]

Ok thank you! My acc is also a day 1 acc but I’ve only started playing 2 weeks ago😂

I still had the 3 day red,blue, leaf banner 😭that’s how new it was

[cunning shore]

Anyone who has Lana at 55k I need your wisedom 😭😭😭😭

55k or higher*

[chilly marlin]

Ok thank you. Hopefully by the time anni comes along and I finally get to pull units, I’ll be able to do more content

[rustic summit]

you can spend your Region Tickets on Kanto, Johto and Alola if you're wanting a few extra pairs - those regions won't be getting updated at anni since they've had no general pool pairs this year

[chilly marlin]

They’ll never get an update or just this anni?

[frosty glacier]

yes, if you pull for 2-3 MFs when anni comes, your roster will blow up with all the new units you'll get along the way

[chilly marlin]

Hopefully those master fairs will be worth pulling

[rustic summit]

just this year, if dena decides to bring spotlight scouts back, those regions will probably have their ticket scout roster increased

[full lark]

Just this anniversary, we don’t know if they’ll add more general pool pairs from those regions in the future

[frosty glacier]

we don't know, but the MFs last year were very worth it

[rustic summit]

55,410 here what's up

[signal atlas]

Is it easy to say that the biggest contributor to score is having 3 water types on your team?

[cunning shore]

I can't go above 52k with this insert favorite word here

What did you use?

[onyx crystal]

That and strength

[signal atlas]

I got 66k my first battle vs marlon using ss blue, champ serena, and May

I had uhh 500 strength? Or 400 idr

[chilly marlin]

My only reason waiting until anni is because how indecisive I am

[signal atlas]

It was like expert

[cunning shore]

400

500 is master

[chilly marlin]

Holding onto tickets forever isn’t a good idea right?

[signal atlas]

Yeah i tried master it was too hard

[chilly marlin]

50k here

[ornate cobalt]

Here’s what’s left if my roster

[signal atlas]

Its not really worth it points-wise to keep everyone alive compared to making the difficulty higher right

Build up wake he seems good for this

[cunning shore]

I can get 60k+ on all the other stages
Lana is like how I am cockblocked from the top ranks

[full lark]

Depends on your preferences and which general pool pairs you still don’t have yet

[rustic summit]

the team i used for Lana was;
Eusine 1/5 EX
OG Misty 5/5
Hilbert 5/5 EX

300 strength, the crux of my strategy was getting hilbert to max evasion and praying.

[amber warren]

Oh it work 200 pt

[ornate cobalt]

I have no silver atm

[amber warren]

Rosa is stronger than i thought

[cunning shore]

Nooooooooooo
I can't do thisssssss
I want to cry

[livid tusk]

How are we all doing today?

[cunning shore]

Wishing death upon Lana

[ornate cobalt]

Not good not fine

[amber warren]

no healing is a fun gimmick tho

[rain sierra]

My opinion on this event - It's gonna be infuriating once we get to certain types that are not decently populated. Also rng galore

[rustic summit]

just don't get hit its easy

lemme tell ya now;
Fairy High Score event is gonna be absolute dogwater

[amber warren]

drop the event when normal come

[rain sierra]

Lana prank too strong

[haughty haven]

Good until Whale took all top

[rain sierra]

Poison isn't any better

[rustic summit]

mfw Looker is gonna be shit on poison high score

superduper effective 9

[amber warren]

Fairy still have decent nuker tho

[rustic summit]

yeah but most fairies are limited

[rain sierra]

Stage boss : You're poison? I'm poison too!

[amber warren]

[rain sierra]

Mostly limited

[rustic summit]

if i take limited fairies out of my fairy roster, i only have 5

[amber warren]

i only have 1

Another is mina but both is 0 damage

[rain sierra]

Like, I can't imagine Valerie doing anything in Fairy TM

[ornate turret]

unlike special CS you only need your dmg dealer to be on type this mode needs 3 because of the multiplier
so for type like poison, fairy... I'm sure they'll have different multiplier or combine multiple types

[quasi bone]

Mina does good damage

[rustic summit]

mina's pretty alright if you EX her

[amber warren]

But i have no good team for mina

Like find me a fairy crit buffer

[quasi bone]

probably is support for fairy

[rustic summit]

your supports don't need to be the same type as your damage dealer

[ornate cobalt]

Okay so here is the team for marlon

[livid tusk]

Okay so what’s the score everyone is getting? I have been doing +200 Challenge Bonus because I am scared

[amber warren]

This event

[ornate cobalt]

And what’s left is my roster for Lana

[rustic summit]

oh right

[livid tusk]

So far, some have been easier clears than others like Lana and Nessa

[ornate cobalt]

I am gonna go cyr

[rain sierra]

Let's not talk about Fairy first. Can even Fire survive? How many defensive tanks are there?

[amber warren]

[rustic summit]

there's Ho-mo, there's Kiawe, uh...

[ornate cobalt]

None

[full lark]

Evelyn is a Fire tank

[amber warren]

Mostly Hooh

[rustic summit]

ooh ye Evelyn can survive a while too

[full lark]

Marley is potentially bulky

[livid tusk]

Fire will have to survive on the good will of Offtype Tanks

[rustic summit]

then after that it's... Marley and Torchic

[rain sierra]

I accept Morty and Evelyn. The rest is just meh

[quasi bone]

Blaine can probably tank something

[zealous elm]

Why does Lana and their sides hit like a truck in comparison to the other stages? Aren't supposed to have same stats?

[livid tusk]

Like I think we have a decent amount of Fire DPS, why worry about Ontype Tanks?

[amber warren]

Tough cookie may be

[onyx crystal]

The more her def is raised the more damage they do

[livid tusk]

I didn’t have a problem with Lana tbh

[rain sierra]

Because less multiplier means less point

[livid tusk]

I just used SSDiantha as my third thougj

[zealous elm]

I know, I'm making sure they never have increased def

[rustic summit]

fire high score

[zealous elm]

They still obliberate

[rustic summit]

evasion build ethan

[amber warren]

[rain sierra]

Water is blessed with a good share of dps and support

[livid tusk]

Oh true, we have tryhards

[amber warren]

No damage taken ethan

[onyx crystal]

They did no healing and did high damage Lana :>

[rain sierra]

Can't say the same for most other type

[rustic summit]

grass high score event would be interesting

[quasi bone]

grass might be fine for one

[livid tusk]

Normal High Score?

[amber warren]

if rock event happen i will have 0 point

[rustic summit]

don't need to fret about no SE damage if you never had it to begin with

[amber warren]

probably compete with electric for easiest event

[rustic summit]

psychic

[amber warren]

[rain sierra]

Electric would have issue too

[amber warren]

it have all the tool doesnt it?

[rain sierra]

Yes, you have uber rats but can they survive EQ?

[rain sierra]

How many defensive supports are there?

BP Clemont. Who else?

[amber warren]

Sonia

2 team already so 100k

[rustic summit]

EleSSa if you just don't get hit

[rain sierra]

This new mode clearly highlights Poma issue. The disparity between types are too huge

[ornate cobalt]

Yeeeah I don’t know what to do for Marlon and I am definitely at a loss with Lana considering what’s left of my roster

[onyx crystal]

Lt.Surge
Sonia
bpClemont
LodgeElesa
hol Jasmine
ssElesa (offensive)

[rustic summit]

oh yeah BP Surge too and Lodge Elesa

though those two are a bit

[amber warren]

that is why poma is my second gatcha now (until i get another marnje)

[rustic summit]

squishy

[ornate cobalt]

I think I off type both

[rain sierra]

Most are squishy

[paper mist]

I think I'm safe for top 10k (at like 955 atm) but idk, I feel like my scores could be a lot better

[ornate cobalt]

Gonna have to max strength what a pain

[amber warren]

How many do you need for top 10k

[onyx crystal]

Try to keep speculation to a minimum, many people are still figuring out how to deal with Water.

[haughty haven]

Water vs Ground

[rain sierra]

Smh what a 7.8/10 state

[haughty haven]

Too much water

[amber warren]

Can we f2p this event with only water?

[rustic summit]

i legit think types like poison, bug and fairy are worse off than ground at this point - at least for f2p

[quasi bone]

Masters is not my main game anymore

[amber warren]

Used to

[rain sierra]

Gonna be hard for 180k

[paper mist]

not sure what else I can do

[amber warren]

true tho

[ornate cobalt]

Well I offtyped Marlon should have went higher with strength?

[amber warren]

Bruh nessa no rule

[spark storm]

well rats did 1000 on nessa so i would say yes lmao

[rustic summit]

there is a rule

it's nessa, she rules with earthquake

[rain sierra]

Nessa : I don't need any advantage to beat you

[amber warren]

Bruh

[slate sphinx]

Tfw suffered more from 1st move bite flinch than from quake

[amber warren]

Who good for nessa? I have only archie left

[cunning shore]

So... I had some stages reach 70k because I can't increase Lana's score.

I am in the 300k club now

[ornate cobalt]

gooooooood god I am gonna suffer

This strength bonus

500 maybe not maybe

[rustic summit]

300k club has cool jackets

[ornate cobalt]

Currently at 109,049

[rustic summit]

jo you're two places above me

[slate sphinx]

Again lmao

[onyx crystal]

My rank has gone up (down? :P) 100 placements since this morning.

[ornate cobalt]

Well I got up too 132,000 this time

Godddd what do I do differently up the scores??

[cunning shore]

For now 🥹

[cosmic creek]

An actual thing I needed to do lol, just to survive the Drednaw sync and set rain for my team after

[ornate cobalt]

Tips?

[rustic summit]

short lived because i pushed misty to 500 there now you are three places below

[cunning shore]

Don't worry I am working on going up still 👀

[unborn acorn]

I finally did it. I could add a little more str but it's too much rng so I'll leave it like this

[cunning shore]

Set Rain post-sync

[onyx crystal]

thankfully these are plentiful :3 I just hate rolling for them. 1/18

[paper mist]

I haven't gotten higher than 49k in a fight T_T

[sour fable]

New record for me. But lana is too unfair

[amber warren]

👀 people clear nessa good

I cant even beat her

[sour fable]

Nessa is kinda easy compared to lana and marlon lol

[amber warren]

Dunno who to go against her... Ran out of def buffer

[solid geyser]

I think I'm gonna need to reset all the stages to rearrange my teams

[tardy vector]

how can we tell what type of moves (phy/spe) does the enemy normally uses?

[onyx crystal]

The pin has all the moves listed

#1128052735967764621 message

You have to know from personal knowledge which ones are phys/spec based on the names

[river oracle]

What types don’t have gear yet btw

[rustic summit]

flying, steel, normal, bug

[river oracle]

Speculative but they may do high score events with some of the upcoming ones excluding normal then start rerunning them with this format

Or at least I feel like pumping out gear events as of late and water alongside high score means something???

[onyx crystal]

Gear events are like every 2 months or so

[radiant pebble]

"excluding normal" why the normal slander

[rustic summit]

whitney's nuke do be nothing to sneeze at

[river oracle]

They’ve come faster than before in the last few months right

[onyx crystal]

#poma-questions message
Gear timeline ^

[radiant pebble]

Normal lowkey is the best type in the game, but DeNA refuses to release any dps

[river oracle]

Oh yeah once a month as of late

[onyx crystal]

It was every other month, but it’s sped up.

EOS

[plush raven]

New teams?

I CANT beat shit on 250

[chilly marlin]

Horrible

[covert urchin]

wew

[sullen kestrel]

Gear used to be every 2 months up until fairy in may, which was still going by that pattern

But then we got ice last month and water this month

[cosmic creek]

Heck ya!

Redid Lana/nessa completely, and upped my challenge on Misty/Marlon.

In top 200 (for now)

Misty: 350
Marlon: 360
Lana: 300
Nessa: 300
Archie: 290

[cunning shore]

We have a competition
As long as it's not Lana I am gonna increase my score

[cosmic creek]

Ya, Lana is awful.

I think I could up my score a little on her, but silveraligatr freeze was big

[sullen kestrel]

I was at 1,072 when I finished it

Would be nice if I could stay top 10k but

[paper mist]

tbh I think if you're above 5k you'll be safe

[radiant pebble]

193k points, might be hard to stay in top 10k with that ngl

[paper mist]

a lot of the higher ranks are the same people just shuffling ranks around

[sullen kestrel]

Well its 2 weeks so idk

[sullen kestrel]

Yeah maybe

[paper mist]

2 weeks til datamine?

[sullen kestrel]

If I get the medal nice if not im not going to worry about it

[radiant pebble]

I already lost 150 ranks lol

[sullen kestrel]

[covert urchin]

207k should be enough to get medal maybe

if i lose it i have an idea of optimizations i could make to score better so

[paper mist]

I actually think I might rank higher with an Electric event than water, oddly enough. we don't have many limited electrics compared to water iirc.

[tacit monolith]

What medal ?

[paper mist]

the master medal

I'm at 235k and at 984, 9k ranks is a lot to drop

[dawn granite]

Wondering if I should get water gear to level 15 before trying the high score event

Is the boost for water types a good bit with the gear?

[paper mist]

my gear is maxed out

[radiant pebble]

well yeah

why wouldn't you

[paper mist]

I did it before starting this

[dawn granite]

(Yes I know Level 15 gear ontype for water is good but how much better does it make LySS and Cerena lol)

[sour fable]

My lana round was just 230

[paper mist]

how are y'all getting above 50k

I can't even get above 49k without a lot of luck

[plush raven]

This thing is so frustrating

[paper mist]

is lowering strength the way to go? I've been doing 200-250 and struggling

[radiant pebble]

if all you want is the rewards, 170~175 should be enough, or even less

[paper mist]

no I got them all this morning, I'm aimng for a higher rank

[dawn granite]

What is the minimum added strength needed to get all the rewards up to the gold coin lol

[ocean warren]

check pins

wait for gold coin

ah yeah that's the last reward

it's 150-200 STR

you need average 36k per run minimum

[dawn granite]

That’s about mid-range it seems like

I can handle that

[frosty glacier]

whoa! you got amazing scores! congrats! How'd you get such high scores??? what strength level did you set the stages to? I have all those units except Archie, but I just barely cracked 180k

[cosmic creek]

I hope I stay in the bracket to get the stupid medal, at 274k points.

I don't think I'd be able to get much over 280k even if I went back

[cosmic creek]

That nessa is insane

[worn bronze]

More or less at the limit right now. What’s the cut off for the medal? I’m 160 something rn

[radiant pebble]

top 10k

[cunning shore]

I will keep going up.
The last pvp event I went to bed and found myself out of the top crop the next morning 🥹

[radiant pebble]

you should be good lol

[worn bronze]

[cunning shore]

Gloria Nightmares

[worn bronze]

Just gotta get more points than the staff team

[cunning shore]

I sit currently at 29

[worn bronze]

Misty and Marlon were 400, rest were 300

[cunning shore]

Lana I did below 300

[radiant pebble]

I will only try to get more points if I need to

[cunning shore]

I tried 1 500

[worn bronze]

yeah, i'm not gonna bother to retry for a 350 or whatever

[cunning shore]

The rest between 300 and 460

[worn bronze]

getting an extra 2k points doesn't matter

[cunning shore]

It does in the top flight

[dawn granite]

i'm wondering if it's easier to grind on the last day when no one is trying anymore

[cunning shore]

2k and I went up by 10 lol

[dawn granite]

to get the master medal

[worn bronze]

i mean i'm 171st place lol

[dawn granite]

what strength are you adding

what is seeming to work

[paper mist]

I'm honestly unsure if having a higher strength is helping or hindering me

[dawn granite]

would it be easier to have lower added strength but more water units or the other way around in getting a higher score

[paper mist]

all my runs take more than 3min and 2-3 syncs

I have full water teams

[radiant pebble]

yeah that's the norm lol

[paper mist]

I'm not getting Confusion in most of my fights because I don't have enough pairs for it

[zealous elm]

Screw Lana in particular. This has been my 1st attempt, I'm open to suggestions to improve it, I tried to apply all the rules always (confusion, MC and x3 water types)

Everything is 300 str except Lana

[ornate turret]

that's pretty great tbh

[zealous elm]

555 for now, but definitely can be better with more accurate and higher str levels

(also I may have to candy a unit or two)

[plush raven]

Whats the strat with the last team? My sharpedo sync did nothing after the EX Sync

[cosmic creek]

Lots of prayers.

Turn 1 Araquanid buff and sharpedo nukes himself for maxed crit, Vaporeon buffs Sdef.

Sharpedo heals back up from first aid, and from getting heal over time from Araquanid.

Vaporeon uses most after a round or two just to prevent the leer going off, and I used haze a few times because she regens a lot of move gauge anyway. Haze before enemy sync, and he uses X Attack all after his first sync, so haze that as well.

[hardy fog]

Do you think level 120 and maybe 1-2 without grid can get all the rewards? Or dreaming

[cosmic creek]

Araquanid heals a lot with leech life, because Archie's sharpedo is bug weak

[rustic summit]

leech life heal + passive regen + catalytic cure 1 = funny

[paper mist]

Cause my scores look like they could be a lot higher. Seeing everyone else using hilbert/Kris for Archie but way higher scores is making me think im not understanding how this is suppose to work.

[zealous elm]

Why using Barry when you're already have a nuker and MC in team?

[river oracle]

SS Blue and Lodge Adaman are my only limiteds so I’m just doing what I can

[zealous elm]

I slapped a confusion for the extra points

But I guess a no-nuker strike could also be better than Barry

[paper mist]

it was for extra hits, SpA buffs and then i gave him defense crush 2 so kris could do more damage

[plush raven]

Not even gonna try to get more, all on 250. This is a pain in the ass.

[paper mist]

oh wait that's an older screenshot

Not much better tho

[stark trail]

i’m really hoping this is good enough to last the whole 2 weeks

[idle pelican]

Which challenge team is the best to use the anni trio on?

[plush raven]

I’m on the same boat, top 900, must be enough

[stark trail]

none of them lol

use water type sync pairs mostly

[lilac vine]

do they give any rewards for ranking? or just like la

[paper mist]

you get a special medal

[lilac vine]

oh until what rank we can get that medal

[rustic summit]

top 10000

scores are finalised on poma day

[proven slate]

Hey y'all, out of these which one wud be best for Archie's no special stage? I assume it's 5/5 Kris > 3/5 Dewott > 1/5 grimsley?

[cosmic creek]

Crossing my fingers that rank 199 today will hold me until the end 😅

[cosmic creek]

Yes, with only 1/5 for sharpedo and Drednaw, then Feraligatr is def stronger

[proven slate]

yeah id rather use grimsley cuz i like him but i heard kris got a goated grid expansion

thx for confirmation ill go w kris

[rustic summit]

kris is very good now go for her

[elfin glacier]

I tried to see how much i could optimize archie with a f2p friendly team, and heres a 400 strength clear with Kris; will probably try to get 410-430 in a day or two when i have higher lvl water gear

[cosmic creek]

I had to swap mine off the Super Effective tile, but ya she still hits pretty hard. (I used mine on a diff fight)

[slate sphinx]

You can use crasher wake instead of Misty and confuse it for getting another bonus

[ornate cobalt]

This is insanity I am so close

[elfin glacier]

I dont think i can clear with wake; i synced 3 times with kris and lana just doesnt survive long enough without potion spam from misty

[rustic summit]

lana can survive on her own without potion support with a bit of luck

[elfin glacier]

Archies liquidations post sync are cracked; getting lucky with cure isnt enough

[proven slate]

This look ok for Archie?

[livid tusk]

I don’t know how you all have so many pairs ex’d

[elfin glacier]

playing for a decently long time

[proven slate]

^

thts rlly it

play for a while

u get a lot

[elfin glacier]

uhh fine..? Id uncap to 130 at least but are you just trying to get 36k or higher?

[proven slate]

yerp

[livid tusk]

I have like 62 Pairs EX’d a lot of them are just Limited or Units I use a lot

No random Mina EX for me

[proven slate]

not everyoine plays like tht ya 😩 some of ym friends just EX whatever they need for CS but i stikc w faves

[livid tusk]

Would definitely like to have enough PUs to EX some underused Units but I gotta respect the process

Yeah I sort of have a long list to Units to EX and it gets longer the more Units are added to the game

[elfin glacier]

I kind of just ex whatever limited i get + sometimes a spotlight

Currently going for ss blue, then whatever new limiteds i might have gotten (liza/oleana?) and then lodge dawn

so i can perfect my sinnoh ice team

[frosty glacier]

if you reset one fight, can you use units from other fights? I'm guessing not right? but then can you just reset two fights and then use the "better" team to boost the lower scoring fight?

[elfin glacier]

?

Its like legendary gauntlet; if you use a team, theyre unusable unless you reset that specific stage

i might spend a while trying to get the 400 strength clear with kris again while recording so i can post on reddit

[dim ginkgo]

got top 7k

should be good?

[elfin glacier]

for 10k?

[dim ginkgo]

yeah

Master rank basically

[elfin glacier]

probably not there are 2 weeks, which is a lot of time for people to optimize their stuff

[frosty glacier]

maybe not, your rank is going to drop over the next 2 weeks

I'm guessing you'll need 200k to stay in top 10k

[dim ginkgo]

i had difficulties doing everything at 290% strenght

like the limit before ultra hard

the blue ultra hard

[frosty glacier]

I'm guessing there'll be many people who hit 180-200k but don't bother to keep trying because they've gotten all the main rewards

[elfin glacier]

Are you using full water or

[dim ginkgo]

nope

every battle has at least 1 water

[frosty glacier]

try to use at least 2 water units . if only 2 water units, the third should be a strong carry that lets you crank up the strength

[elfin glacier]

Use as many water as possible

[sour fable]

@cosmic creek sry, i was redoing few stages and didnt check discord. Here are the new score and the new team comps(same units)

[frosty glacier]

dang I feel like I just suck at this game LOL

[dim ginkgo]

i might try this

at what difficulty?

[sour fable]

Misty:- 340
Marlon:- 420
Lana:- 230
Nessa:- 450
Archie:- 300

[elfin glacier]

if all else fails, just blame people for having gotten all the cracked limited units

[cosmic creek]

I know I do.

But I don't have time to reset for flinch and evasion 😅

I'm happy with my 274k

[sour fable]

I cant get more on archie without gloria

[frosty glacier]

well I have some of the cracked limited units but my score is bad

[slate sphinx]

Fine for first time. Tryharding won’t be worth it so shouldn’t drop from master rank

[frosty glacier]

268k should be fine for top 10k. my guess is 250k is very safe

[slate sphinx]

Rank 291 rn anyways it will be clear at last 2 days

[proven slate]

where did yall get tht misty psyduck unit? i have those other 4 supports but not misty 😭

[cosmic creek]

That's an insane score, for 3 offtype units 🤯

[rustic summit]

misty psyduck is a free event pair

needs a rerun

[proven slate]

damn

[elfin glacier]

This is what i have right now; I feel like i can do a lot better, even on archie. Kind of blundered on marlon

[sour fable]

10k? Dude i have like 284.8k and I'm at rank 131. At worst that guy(with 260k) will go down to 500. Thats it

[frosty glacier]

interesting approach, you went with a strong carry for most of the fights

though you got an amazing 58k with Kris against archie. dang!

[slate sphinx]

Could do more but won’t tryhard and check moar strength for only x1 powerup ticket

[cosmic creek]

It's also day 1.

Many people play events on weekends, not the day it comes out

[frosty glacier]

I guess we'll see. We're all guessing now anyway 😄

[sour fable]

It might be day 1 lol but the power needed to get these points will stay the same

[rustic summit]

if i get LySS to 3/5 before it goes away imma rematch nessa and give her what for

[cosmic creek]

But people will optimize runs, and reset for mpr/flinch/etc perfection

[frosty glacier]

I expect a big glut of players at 180-200k. then it should trail off

[dim ginkgo]

what strenght levels?

pls

[frosty glacier]

Lear backwards is rael, not real 🙂

[dim ginkgo]

still real to me

[frosty glacier]

how important was Vaporeon vs Misty?

[cunning shore]

1/5 LySS does wonderfully well though
I wouldn't waste gems on a copy 2 months before anniversary 🫠

[cosmic creek]

1/5 Volcanion was not enough for me.

2/5 was fine. Big boost for this fight at 2/5

[slate sphinx]

Misty 500 (doable with more strength and some luck with misses)
Marlon 470 (doable with more strength, sing helps a bit, pray not to miss much)
Lana 400
Nessa 400
Archie 360 (doable with more strength)

[rustic summit]

nah i'm not gonna pull on the banner, but rather i'm fairly close to getting a strike candy

[dim ginkgo]

thanks

[slate sphinx]

Not much rly, only lowering acc but it helped and have boost for Kris master passive

Ah, and team +4 speed boost

[cosmic creek]

He literally gets Water Guard 😅

Making him safe from enemy sync nuke. Plus his own burn synergy tiles.

[slate sphinx]

She died first by my missclick

[ornate cobalt]

I am on the last few for 180 but like

[slate sphinx]

Worst part was changing LS from flameproof from most of team

[ornate cobalt]

Ahhh my teammms so I am gonna restart with the roster

[frosty glacier]

but SS Kris's master passive doesn't help SST Red I thought

[cosmic creek]

Why would it not?

At least the defensive portion works

[frosty glacier]

the offensive portion does not

but maybe team was having a hard time surviving

[sour fable]

Why use electric types?

[ornate cobalt]

I stopped at 156 how do I get to 180 because my roster atm was absolutely dog water

[slate sphinx]

I think VLyra can be swapped for OG Misty for spdef+evasion boosts and boosting Red’s master passive

But too much heals imo

[real estuary]

ok, time to improve

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/881833427643531264/1128415673090068641/Screenshot_2023-07-11-15-00-35-224_com.dena.a12026418.jpg

[ornate cobalt]

Am gonna reset and look over my roster again

[onyx crystal]

Simply not enough technology to display strength level on the same screen

[frosty glacier]

wow and Lana+Crasher+Kris against Archie got 61k. that's impressive. how does Lana not die? I guess the Karpe Diem and Water guard helps. did Karpe Diem get refreshed? how is there enough damage output?

[onyx crystal]

Leech life, bug weak Archie

[sour fable]

Give me ss kris

I can get around 290k then

[cosmic creek]

Araquanid:
One turn +4 def
Def cannot be dropped
Leeching move that is super effecting, TM gives heal over time, and a chance for a bonus heal

[slate sphinx]

Endurance in grid too

[frosty glacier]

oooo wow

[elfin glacier]

wait so did you get a lot of crits with lana because healing 60-100 + gradual isnt enough to survive for that long after archie syncs, which i why i use misty and not wake

[zealous elm]

I'm guessing Lana must be EX or no shot

[young stone]

Haven’t done this, maybe I’ll try leaderboard, but is it painful as LG?

[elfin glacier]

i like it more then lg

[zealous elm]

I mean it's much more easier to optimize than LG

Tho much much less rewarding

[slate sphinx]

Depends on your water roster

[cosmic creek]

Important rewards end at 180k points. This feels realistically attainable.

The leaderboard is definitely challenging to rank up on, though. Don't focus that if you don't want to stress

[onyx crystal]

I haven’t used Lana on Archie yet, I used Hilbert lol. Ive been remote so I haven’t played more than once today.

[frosty glacier]

I used Hilbert too againsT Archie but he dies pretty fast. definitely by sync

[zealous elm]

After 180k it's just a singular each 5000, so not really that encouraging

[radiant pebble]

used both hilbert and lana on archie lol

[onyx crystal]

But the Rank 5 player used Lana EX vs Archie

[pearl stream]

Good enough for first run through

[frosty glacier]

that's good enough period lol

[young stone]

Gonna aim for medal spot + rewards

[onyx crystal]

This event really gonna get me to ex Lana, Elio, and Lodge Adaman.

[thorny grove]

Literally me but for Kris and Nessa

[young stone]

Lana needs EX’ing?

[radiant pebble]

I'm thinking about ex'ing kris lol

[young stone]

What do you think of this roster

[onyx crystal]

For top 25, not if you just want to clear

[thorny grove]

What fight are you using him for? Lana I assume?

[ornate cobalt]

I am already about to ex mistyduck but ran out of tickets

[young stone]

Ugh this gonna have me searching for team spreasheets like LG

[slate sphinx]

Lana overall is very great support so definitely she should be EX’d if you don’t prioritize EX’ing worst supports first

[ornate cobalt]

That ex might just actually make me win against a bugged misty fight

[zealous elm]

SSLys wants to be against Nessa since it's the only stage that appreaciates some burning

[ornate cobalt]

I also swore I exed elio but apparently NOT?

[thorny grove]

Personally I can’t say for roster spot since I’m still clearing them myself for the first time, and most people are gonna run it until they get top 10k so idk.

[ornate cobalt]

Maybe that was a dream

[thorny grove]

Using Elio is always a dream. It dosent exist. Nah Jk he great

[ornate cobalt]

I am only aiming for 180 which I am literally almost there but I got caught

[cunning shore]

All you really need is 180k for rewards. Anything else is medal/bragging rights

[thorny grove]

OMG BRAIN BLAST I JUST REMEMBERED ELIO HAS DEFENSE CRUNCH ON SPARKLING ARIA

[ornate cobalt]

My roster went bad so I reset it and is now trying to form a better team

[cunning shore]

Yup

Tripping thing too

That slows

[thorny grove]

I may just have an answer for Lana now!!

[cunning shore]

Good luck

[ornate cobalt]

Hey uh can you spoiler that please I am epileptic

[cunning shore]

Everyone hates her

[thorny grove]

Don’t know how to do that so I just deleted it

[ornate cobalt]

Ts ok ty

[slate sphinx]

Just curious, if you do all stages with 0 score (0 water pairs) - what rank you will get

[rustic summit]

dead last

[onyx crystal]

Why don’t you find out for us?

[elfin glacier]

I might try this too to see if i can get higher then 400, i need a better team for marlon anyway

[ornate cobalt]

I am so tempted to roll on that banner and see if I get Gloria if not some lysandere dupes would be REALLY welcomed

[slate sphinx]

I’ve finished it and that thought was reached me only now

[ornate cobalt]

Atm these are are my only ideas on getting full 180 I need to fill the last slots but crashed is only 3* I have no tickets to get him up

And for some reason apparently wake is better than the 5/5 Krisgator by some points which makes me

[onyx crystal]

Use Crasher wake for different fight. You can’t inflict misty with interferences

Do you have lodge May? Wailmer

[ornate cobalt]

I do

[young stone]

How do you manage the score

[onyx crystal]

Score is determined after you win. That much strength is going to be very hard for most teams.

[cunning shore]

You don't need more than 200-300s

[young stone]

I’m completely confused with this event

[ornate cobalt]

Is there a grid for her or do I look in the sync grid

Doc

[onyx crystal]

#1009587872342478908

[cunning shore]

Complete 1 stage with 3 water units at 200 difficulty
Everything will clear up to you afterwards

[onyx crystal]

Probably want MGRs

[cunning shore]

You can reset the stages

1 by 1 or all of them at once

[young stone]

What grids for Elio & Rosa

Gonna aim for rewards first

[cosmic creek]

I went to up my points a little.

And an down in rank lol. All the other people also trying to rank to

[cosmic creek]

I'm so damn glad they have individual fight reset for this.

[cunning shore]

^ this explains how to get rewards

[austere holly]

How much strength are you guys keeping??

[cosmic creek]

If I had to reset the whole thing... This'd barely be a one-and-done event for 180k

[proven slate]

do u hguys take out sides first for archie

i keep dying to sides

im so close

[cosmic creek]

I'm at 300-360 depending on the fight

[proven slate]

😭

[cunning shore]

Absolutely. I been increasing my rank little by little this way. Except lana. Fxxx Lana.

[austere holly]

Ohk thanks! Let me try with this

[cosmic creek]

Seriously. I LOVE bulky supports. But taking away healing is 🤮🤮🤮🤮

[young stone]

So set to 100-200?

[cunning shore]

I would say you can experiment with 200s

200-250

[cosmic creek]

If you have reasonable triple water types, and a MC on each team, you should probably aim for like 180-200

[ornate turret]

New rank, did Lana last this time and it was painful lmao

[cosmic creek]

I do like that this event had me pull out Mistyporeon, Carracosta, and Silveraligatr.

I haven't used any of them in a long time

[proven slate]

Do these teams look ok? Misty and nessa aren't done and I've been trying Archie at like 150-200 strength and I keep dying 😭 sides keep killing me

[cosmic creek]

Clawitzer is pretty useless on your Archie team. You have no units that buff your defenses or can take a hit.

Misty is the one fight where rain is the safest, since her sync is ice type. If you don't have many rain units, that's the safest fight to bring your Swampert.

[cunning shore]

He's there for confusion i assume

[proven slate]

i j brought clawitzer cuz of confusion plus the heals to keep him able to take at least one or 2 more hits after sync

[elfin glacier]

420 strength on archie achieved a bit earlier then expected, same team as earlier. Guess ill keep going to see how close i can get to 500.

[proven slate]

but confusion rng is so annoying 😩

[cosmic creek]

I abandoned confusion on Archie, I got confusion on 3/5 fights

[cunning shore]

I abandoned it completely, Only 1 fight I have it for sure

[cosmic creek]

I wish they'd let us more freely flinch and status cheese fights

If they want to make enemies have nonsense attack stats, we need to be able to counter them

[ornate cobalt]

Yeah archie maymer and duckmisty don’t work

At least for misty

Where would Kris be great at

[rough forum]

How tf you brought rain to nessa

[austere holly]

Damn!

[ornate turret]

just time it so she doesn't sync with rain

[livid tusk]

What challenge rating is everyone doing?

I completed +200 and am currently trying to do +300

[round stone]

is it only a one time thing, or do you have to play it multiple times akin to the dreaded prestige event?

[rustic summit]

depends on how much you want to stay in the top 10000 (the only reward is a medal)

the bulk of the rewards come from getting 180,000 points

[sour fable]

Just take rest lol. There is no reason to grind in this event

We got the rewards and thats all

Dont knock yourself out

[ornate cobalt]

I am trying to get it I am soooo close

[round stone]

Unless you want to go to the tryhard route and go for medals, tho if you're struggling w/out max points, I'd advise y'all to give up

[ornate cobalt]

Like I am so tempted to go for ss dupes or Gloria Gloria badly

[sour fable]

I got 130k when i didnt even set ANY parameters for 4 stages and i set 500 str for the last stage. We only need 180k. Don't give in to temptation for bragging rights and keep your sanity

[ornate turret]

don't pull just because of the event

but if you like her then go for it

[sour fable]

If you want them then go for them. Both of them are fantastic

[ornate cobalt]

Is this what I get for choosing Calem over serena because not only did she miss me twice but it was him or her in that moment Zerena never came home or maybe because I am sucker for support units

[sour fable]

I chose calem too and went to pity for his 1/5

And tbh, both are equally amazing

[sturdy matrix]

What rank maximum for the medal?

[ornate cobalt]

I love Calem more I like dark types why why couldn’t they have ran her instead

[sturdy matrix]

10k?

[ornate cobalt]

But god I don’t know what to do where do I put Kris

[sour fable]

The shenanigans that c.serena does can turn the entire match upside down(how do you think i won against marlon with 420 strength)

[ornate cobalt]

Also the misty team is some how failing idk how

[sour fable]

I'm jealous of your ss kris

[ornate cobalt]

I need to save ss misty

[round stone]

wtf is that "nessa" team? tf

[ornate cobalt]

I swear I feel like I am gonna need her for Lana

[plush raven]

Whats the start with that team for Lana?

[round stone]

why ssmisty? her dps is shit. If you want to save someone, save sslysandre. There'll probably be f2p guides that come out anways

[sturdy matrix]

Misty is probably the most annoying, spamming blizzards

[ornate cobalt]

Because she isn’t supposed to be a dps she’s a debuffer

And especially because misty SPAMS IT

[livid tusk]

I just want the rewards honestly

[sturdy matrix]

Shouldn't be that hard to get 180k

[ornate cobalt]

This is my whole roster

[ornate cobalt]

Yeah I am literally so close but then my roster died out and I couldn’t get the last few points

[proven slate]

finally finished archie

[ornate turret]

250str but it was eva hax run so don't recommend trying it

[proven slate]

got just under 36k tho 😔

Tht took so long 😭

[ornate cobalt]

This is how close I am

[sour fable]

Use 3 water types with 180 str on each stage and you'll win easily. You can go up to 220 easily as well

[proven slate]

ok nc serena made my 2nd battle so much easier

holy

lana's cure procs r so good too

[sour fable]

Lana has cures?

[proven slate]

proc chance is low but when they proc its SWEET

[sour fable]

I think atleast 95% of c.serena users doesnt use her full kit. They just spam 1 type of attacks and be done with it

[elfin glacier]

pain

[cunning shore]

Lana makes similar pain.

[unborn acorn]

got to 800

if i get bored i may reset the lana clear, i may use ash

[ornate cobalt]

God I slapped archie but Jesus

Even at 200 why does this feel so draining

Nessa Lana hilbert

Misty I think I’ll use duck archie ss misty

[long oyster]

Wait I just realized

Kris isnt the best choice for this event isnt she

Since she kinda needs to be on-type to shine

No wonder Glojo is in that banner

[full lark]

She doesn’t need to be on-type, it just helps

Haymaker + Inertia is already a good Sync nuke

[long oyster]

I see

[ornate cobalt]

I got ze bear

I am happy

But I still can’t track 180k and 220 doesn’t work ontype so maybe if I offtype?

[distant mirage]

Im on 160k. Been trying to get just to 180k or more if i can

This is my current

[elfin glacier]

Use more water pairs

[ornate cobalt]

Now where should I even use Gloria

[distant mirage]

Had trouble at the end with Archie trying to fit him in

[light star]

anyone wanna share their teams for this?

[ornate cobalt]

Marlon or Lana most definitely

[elfin glacier]

…sure?

bit outdated now because i redid marlon with wake instead of may

[rough ginkgo]

I stole the vs Archie team from Lost

[ornate cobalt]

What’s the build for Garydos?

[rough ginkgo]

Gyarados is an eggmon (the tech one)

[onyx crystal]

Striker Gyarados can inflict confusion, good for other fights.
Tech Gyarados can set rain, which he's using VS Misty, since she's immune to Confusion.

[ornate cobalt]

Darn I only have strike

[onyx crystal]

You can only use 1 Gyarados for the Event, so if you don't have the Striker version, you can use the Tech one instead.

[ornate cobalt]

ohh okay

[light star]

so is 3 water types necessary or

is 2 sufficient

for all the rewards

[elfin glacier]

2 is probably sufficient but 3 is recommended

[ornate cobalt]

What’s a good lucky skill for him

[open furnace]

How good am I with this selection of water types? More than enough for this?

[onyx crystal]

Fast-Track or Water Guard for this event.

[onyx crystal]

Yeah, you should be able to net yourself all rewards rather easily.

Support Weaknesses:
SS Blue, Misty, Hilbert, Adaman
SS Kris, Marlon, Elio, MistySwim
Lana

[austere holly]

Any advice??

[tardy quartz]

Do you have any way of swapping Hop out?

[austere holly]

These are leftover water pokemon

[tardy quartz]

Honestly, try swapping for Lodge Rosa

She can debuff defense as well, which can help out Nessa

Unless you use Hop for Crit

[austere holly]

Sure! Let me try that

Thanks a lot!

[tardy quartz]

Yeah def get that 3.0x instead of 2.0x

[austere holly]

Got extra 6k points

Will try to improve or change all the teams a bit

[livid tusk]

To get 180k what challenge Rating should I use? Under 200?

[cyan tusk]

Btw having the chance to redo single stages is a godsend

[rough ginkgo]

Approx 200 is good

Assuming you use only water pairs

[proven slate]

Do y'all use may wailmer's brine or is surf worth it even with the aoe power cut?

[pliant temple]

Just woke up and I've dropped about 500 ranks overnight....not as bad as I thought

[marble citrus]

I’ve beaten everyone but Lana, here’s my remaining water units, any ideas for a good team vs her?

[light star]

bruh the medal is a prestige system ffs

[livid tusk]

Not doing enough dps with SSLysandre

[onyx crystal]

Hopefully not against Misty.

[paper mist]

or Marlon

[livid tusk]

These are my Teams

[paper mist]

or Archie

LySS is only useable against Lana and Nessa, annoyingly

[livid tusk]

Okay, noted then

Are my teams usable to get to 180k

[onyx crystal]

how did you not notice the rule that says their stats would drop

[livid tusk]

?

[paper mist]

Misty being immune to burns means his DPS drops a lot + no B move, Marlon requires Techs or Supports for damage, and Archie resists Special attacks

[livid tusk]

Yeah I completed Misty easy with the May and Archie Team

[paper mist]

they actually want you to use him against Nessa since it recommends Burn against her

[onyx crystal]

FreeTeam4 is a little weak, but it's enough to get 180k

[paper mist]

those same reasons are also why Eusine is only useable in the same way, but Misty is immune to Trapping too

[rough ginkgo]

I’d split up Kris and Nessa, both of them are good damage dealers

You may want to use Nessa with Lodge Rosa for example, since Rosa debuffs defence for Nessa

[thorny grove]

I mean so does Lodge Silver

Tbh you could just switch the two around so one lodge pair is with Kris and the other is with Nessa. Either one works tbh.

I’m possibly doing Marlon with Nessa because of speed debuff.

[rough ginkgo]

Replace NC Hop with Lodge Rosa or Silver
If you’re using silver, grab On A Roll on the grid

[grand perch]

Rank 1,8k already haha. Need to get my lazy ass moving soon

[austere holly]

Should I switch any pokemon to another team?? Already improved score from last time

[austere holly]

Yess! Did that
Sent wrong ss earlier

[livid tusk]

Sounds good then

Will hope to use that for Marlon then

[gusty pier]

man i thought water was my strongest type but im gettin my butt beat this event

[onyx crystal]

Why are so many people using Hilbert on Marlon with Serena?

[austere holly]

Same! I thought it would be quite easy lol

[grand perch]

To be fair none of the enemies are weak to water

So you’re almost always offtyping

[austere holly]

I copied team from someone on discord

[grand perch]

Oh wait I got it

They’re using the brutal swing build to inflict confusion

[gusty pier]

im kinda glad its rly tough cus itll be cool to work my way to higher scores next event etc

[rancid perch]

well you only need to inflict confusion once

[gusty pier]

but yeah i def underestimated too

[onyx crystal]

The player who was Top 1 earlier only used confusion in 3 of 4 (possible) fights.

[rancid perch]

can you see teams on the leaderboard? I haven't completed a run yet

[onyx crystal]

You can't.

[grand perch]

It is only 1k points, not the end of the world if you missed it

[thorny grove]

What are people doing for Lana? I hate her so much here

[grand perch]

With that being said this is still a jerk design lol

[onyx crystal]

Dojo Gloria if you have her.

[thorny grove]

Yeah that stage was made for her I don’t have her unfortunately and I don’t really have gems to spare rn. If I can get her from a daily I’ll go for it

I’ve been trying Nessa but it hasn’t been goin well

[bright river]

The problem with teams posted here is that they are not posted with a strength score

[light star]

fk yeah hit 180k

[bright river]

and some of the team comps are ambiguous without grid or whether or not a certain pair is/needs 6ex

it's a bit easier when a dps is 6ex, but not a support

[onyx crystal]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1128052735967764621/1128331000720670791/IMG_1417.png

Strength:
Misty 550 | Marlon 500
Lana 370 | Nessa 290
Archie 370

Credit: @haughty haven

[bright river]

it's also unclear if team comps rely heavily on rng or not

[onyx crystal]

Pykuo is currently ranked in 6th place, but their score has improved since this post: 340,347. So they probably got a better score after they posted this.

[light star]

whats ur target order @onyx crystal

[austere holly]

I just reached 243k and then saw this

[onyx crystal]

The order doesn't matter. You can challenge them in any order.

[light star]

i mean ur team

by target

[onyx crystal]

#1011736960701829191 but It was my first run, I just winged it, and didn't adjust grids 😛
This rank is from <t:1689084000:R>, it has since gone down considerably.
Everything here was Strength 300.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1011736960701829191/1128325771727995011/IMG_7132.jpg

[bright river]

it certainly sucks for me that I don't have Dojo Gloria, Eusine, or SS Lysandre

[light star]

oh sht he has eusine

which i dont

L

[marble citrus]

The medal says you get it for hitting master rank. I’m currently at “master 969” is that sufficient to get the medal since it says master?

[bright river]

top 10k

[onyx crystal]

Rank 1 - 10,000 get the medal.

[marble citrus]

Okay so if I’m 969, I assume I’m good? Lol

[light star]

yes

[marble citrus]

Sweet

[light star]

im at rank 5189 i hope its enough

[onyx crystal]

there are 9,031+ people below you... so yeah
