High Score

[light star]

i ended up dropping it to 500

might try 550 later

[haughty haven]

Lucky Marlon str won’t go up anymore because Bicio doesn’t want do it with me

[weak zodiac]

I am doing something wrong or is this ok considering im new

Trying to get as many rewards as i can.

[rain sierra]

Crank up Strength to 200

Actually I think you will need more since you have non-water pairs

[lone bronze]

In genreal it's quite hard, so get what you can. Difficult to see what some units like Cyrus and Glacia are doing for you though.

[silent urchin]

what LS should I use for Lana if I got Vigilance on her from the grid

[spark storm]

Water guard is nice for her

[sullen pier]

Defense Crush

Water Guard is probably better yeah

[silent urchin]

does the water guard stack if she already has group water guard

[spark storm]

Yup

[silent urchin]

kk

[open furnace]

Anything in this good for thr physical stage?

[cyan tusk]

If you mean Archie, Kris and Lana is the go-to combo

[open furnace]

How many do I need to do?

All of them?

[cyan tusk]

About the stages yes, all 5

[silent urchin]

any teambuilding ideas vs Nessa?

[cyan tusk]

Eusine+ Archie and Lana as a tank

I mean unless you wanna use marlon, it’s up to you

[silent urchin]

im tryna break like 275k

im at 239k rn

[cyan tusk]

Personally I find the Archie+Eusine combo more useful on misty

Bc Lapras is electric weak

[silent urchin]

on misty i used May + Misty + Hilbert

could i move that team to Nessa?

[open furnace]

Hmm... Are all the pokemon weak to water or...?

[silent urchin]

none of them are

[cyan tusk]

Personally I think you can end up with higher points if you switch teams. Keep misty as a tank and use Eusine + Archie there

[open furnace]

Ah, so you just include some water types in there for support or bonus points then?

[silent urchin]

bonus points mainly

[cyan tusk]

None of them is water weak but looking at coverage moves there’s glojo/Lana/Archie and also earth power May lol

[silent urchin]

Eusine is 1/5 btw

[cyan tusk]

He’s going to surf all the way to victory

[silent urchin]

so for Misty I use Archie + Eusine + Misty

and then for Nessa I use May + Lana + Hilbert?

[cyan tusk]

Considering May can max her own crit with MPR you may be going for may+ Lana + crasher wake

To buy some time with flinches

[silent urchin]

could I run double support vs Misty then and then use Archie as sole DPS

cuz i dont wanna waste EX Hilbert

[open furnace]

I don't have Archie?

[haughty haven]

Can someone give me 1 ?

[silent urchin]

im happy, i just want the master medal

[light star]

how is people killing archie with kris

my sync doesnt make a dent

[oblique zenith]

Are there any video for Archie x Lana Kris Wade team?

[haughty haven]

No, just Lana-Kris-Tech Gyara

[oblique zenith]

Oh yes I did saw yours

Haven’t tried it though with Tech Gyara

Might check it out

[rancid perch]

what strength did you do for it

wait never mind, I can just check the pins

[oblique zenith]

Pykuo where can you find it again? Your battles

[haughty haven]

#1100102557109588099 message

[rancid perch]

I tried archie at 550, decided it was too much
dropped it to just 540 and got to a point where one missed sync crit at the end made the difference

[forest ferry]

Anyone got a 1/5 lyss 70k+ pt run?

👀

[rancid perch]

so now I'm too stubborn to try a lower strength

[oblique zenith]

Thanks found it!

[light star]

oh fuck just realized u suppose

to use tech gyarados

i dont have that

fk it 270k

im done

from ultra 1 to master 1500

should be good enough

[oblique zenith]

Oh I realized I don’t have a Tech Gyara only Striker

[light star]

i hope most people stopped trying

[silent urchin]

same

just got into top 1000

[icy burrow]

congrats. if you can crACK 300k pts you cando it

[silent urchin]

im like just under 300k

but im chilling for now

hopefully i can stay in master rank

[icy burrow]

youll be more then fine

[forest ferry]

4* techdos can't even survive 400 str sync Lana

[normal geyser]

Is 24.600 doable? I tried 23.400 just now

To be fair I luck out during the last. Dodge and stuff

[rain sierra]

Yes. Moltres for example has 2 Fire Guard

[rain sierra]

Post PB gives her Inertia. Grab it

Definitely needs an EX for an easier time for sure

[haughty haven]

Try 530 and Tech Gyara just get oneshot so just 520

[brave yoke]

How does 10 strength help?

[forest ferry]

Str:
430
690
380
600
415

@onyx crystal update it when you are free

[haughty haven]

More Point

[forest ferry]

1/5 lysandre Defo better than 3/5 sgloria

I think I can get another 3k pts vs Lana if I run techstoise and fish for better move rng but I am lazy

[rancid perch]

at 5*, gyarados can survive sync even at 550

[forest ferry]

[haughty haven]

But but i’m so poor right now

[rancid perch]

feels like it still has leeway but lana's bulk can barely handle 540 it seems like

[haughty haven]

I dont even have 4star PU

[rancid perch]

I don't really go out of my way to hoard but I did have a lot of power ups stocked up

[forest ferry]

Gotta get all my grass , psychic and fire 4* s to 5* soon
Before next highscore event

[haughty haven]

With no 4star PU,
Wake cant survive Lana 570
Marlon cant survive Marlon 640
Tech Gyara cant survive Archie 530

[forest ferry]

Gamble water banner for siebolds
Ez PU

[haughty haven]

I can make Tech Gyara Survive archie at 530

[rancid perch]

I could cover building about all the water types worth using but I did start running out of great tech tonics+ I think it was for level caps, had to convert some of the lower ones

[haughty haven]

But if i flinch Archie Leer

Side will hit Lana very hard

[rancid perch]

since gyara can survive sync even with the def drop and lana has unbending, I try to flinch the water move archie uses right before leer instead

[forest ferry]

Hbt
Rolling unbending on tech gyara

[haughty haven]

I’m always at 50/50

Because if i flinch Archie move Before that

The shark left will use Bite or Waterfall

Like i have more than 20 fail because that god dame flinch from that shark

[rancid perch]

they're weaker moves than sharpedo's so it gives lana an easier time but yeah the flinch chance is always rough

[haughty haven]

And the Worst part is

[rancid perch]

runs can lose to both your flinches flopping and archie's flinches succeeding

[amber warren]

Almost done it 250 pt but lodge may tho 🫶

[haughty haven]

Kris usually not crit side mon

It so painful

[crude iron]

I have no idea if these teams might or might not be on the right track.

[rough forum]

Only one way to know

[crude iron]

can afford +1 ex for this event if needed

[rough forum]

Testing

[amber warren]

suffer

[crude iron]

what sort of scores should i try for, like what strength level, idk how hard this thing is to get full prizes in

[rancid perch]

at 540 rn kris has to sync three times after support ex and it doesn't seem like the sides' ranges matter too much, but the best run I got lost to a missed sync crit on archie

[amber warren]

Full prize is 180k pretty easy but medal you need 200k+ i guess

[rain sierra]

Misty - Special stage
Marlon - Mix. Bring tech
Lana - Mix. Need a strong dps
Nessa - Physical. Plain and simple
Archie - Physical. No special dps

Hope that helps

[haughty haven]

Sr Archie, i dont want try anymore

Y took me 2 hour

[crude iron]

thisll help a lot yea thanks

so generally if i run the teams im looking at, itd be the nessa team for vs marlon most likely if i didnt shuffle units around

since that one has no strike

[amber warren]

Nessa is good for Lana tho

She can low team defense

[rancid perch]

I've done a lot of failed tries on archie too, might drop the strength to 530

besides bad flinch rng from either side, most fails are from lana just taking too much damage and losing her endurance too early

[crude iron]

i kinda feel like id prob lean toward either kris or one of the not-water units for lana, ive got a good number of good offtype dps in my box so i can prob find something out there... the description given makes it sound like thats prob the hardest stage

[haughty haven]

@onyx crystal
Misty 580
Marlon 720
Lana 560
Nessa 317
Archie 520

#1100102557109588099 message

[rancid perch]

since she pretty much can't heal enough to survive another hit after dropping to 1 hp, especially with rain up

[rain sierra]

Just try to do full 15 water with 200 strength so you don't get overwhelmed and adjust accordingly

The good thing about this mode is that you don't have to fully reset to try again

[cyan tusk]

That Lana run is insane btw

To replicate it I need to destroy like 3 of my teams lmao

[rancid perch]

I could go so much higher if I only had cserena

[crude iron]

i feel like my water box is a tad lacking to do full 15 water, how hard is like 250-300 range of strength prob

[rancid perch]

idk if another type specific score event would be tolerable

[rain sierra]

Around 12.5k CSMM

[haughty haven]

I just know Lana is the pain, and i still see no one get Lana to 80k so i do it

[amber warren]

150 is cs 2500 point or sth

[haughty haven]

[amber warren]

👀really it does look harder when offtype

[forest ferry]

Why did you gimp your Nessa run for that 80k Lana run

[rain sierra]

That Marlon stage keeps getting higher

[haughty haven]

Dont talk about Nessa

Still Nessa Team so BAD

Like i drop from 320 to 317 to get more point from time

Because that team dmg so little compare to other team

[forest ferry]

I just don't want to remove cerena from Nessa for high Marlon score

Post sync eq is too nasty to run with any other dps

[magic sandal]

I can do it if I EX my Eusine

Any higher and he just dies to sync

[forest ferry]

I can do 80k Lana as well
If I get every other team to 35-40k range

[amber warren]

Exactly 250k my goal let's go i thought i cant reach this

If i replace cerena, ss blue it is completely f2p

Time to upgrage Barry

[forest ferry]

Remove Lana stage and it's still 180k+

[amber warren]

[haughty haven]

Can i borrow your Lyra to help my Eusine ?

Like Eusine level 149 and EX

[magic sandal]

Sure just gimme your CSerena

[haughty haven]

Just cant kill Nessa 320 str fast

[forest ferry]

Maybe level 150 would help

[amber warren]

Is it good for 250k

[rough forum]

Wdym 250k

Barry tank

[forest ferry]

Non ex Barry tanking

[amber warren]

no mistake 250 strength and no Barry tank

Bruh why my barry only do 250 damage with 2 sync buff and max stat buff

Only 250 strength

[haughty haven]

Bubble Beam Dps

[amber warren]

Barry only there to sync count down

I dunno why cerena is tank better than misty psyduck

[cunning shore]

1. Accuracy dead for opponents
2. By the time they start attacking Cerena she would be max buff while they're max debuffed
3. Psyduck Misty on paper, very tanky, on field very paper.

[rough forum]

Yeah she's very paperthin

She's a perfect example of offtank

[amber warren]

No after the sync i see misty health go to 20% when cerena is only 40% (2 is on full health)

[cunning shore]

In terms of bulk

They're both very close to each other

Funnily enough.

[amber warren]

i see

Malon

Can this team reach 275-300 strength.

Sound rng to me

[cunning shore]

The whole thing

Is rng

[amber warren]

[rough forum]

Even 300-350

With good early cycling

[amber warren]

Noice

I will try with 275 first i guess

[rain sierra]

Most of the supports really need that EX tk be somewhat tanky

Not everything is SS Blue tier

[grand perch]

Tried increasing my score but man it’s more annoying than I thought haha

[rancid perch]

barry seems goated for the attack count score

weakest possible aoe move for maximum hits

[cyan tusk]

I don’t have a 60% flinch user available, that’s the point

[rancid perch]

of course cserena probably caps that score out by herself, I'd probably know if I had one

[magic sandal]

that team buffs no special attack

you are hitting with a +0 barry

[forest ferry]

695 str

I need better rng

[amber warren]

oh i see but doesnt barry buff spe for himself?

[magic sandal]

no

he buffs speed and crit

[amber warren]

[magic sandal]

if you get ramp up on his grid you can get a max of +2 with no MPR

[forest ferry]

You can run elio with him
If your elio is free or lodge adaman

[amber warren]

Ah forgot he is striker too no wonder he do nothing against marlon

[amber warren]

I wont run Barry anymore wake probably better and he can confuse

Bruh

[forest ferry]

695 str

I just can't hit 700

Give red another terrain extension tile with powerboost thanks

[amber warren]

not power creep at all

Rock slide or surf what move is stronger so i can kill one

[forest ferry]

All that effort only for 200 more pts

[rough forum]

Rock slide

By far

[sturdy matrix]

Mons that spam rockslide normally should always be the priority, you don't want to deal with rockslide flinches

[nova anchor]

I think XD

[nova anchor]

Hey bud sup? did you try to bully marlon today? lol

[nova anchor]

archie 520 think 530 can push if using stoise? I haven't tested my 5*s gyara beyond 500 though.

[amber warren]

miss 1 hit

rank 2600 time to retire nothing more to do

[sour fable]

695 str with 2 waters is kinda equal to 380 str(or a bit less) with 3 waters

[sour fable]

Tf- thats rank 2.6k?

[amber warren]

yes

You thought it need 300k?

250k rank 3700 -> 257k rank 2600

People do compete for small increase of point

[quasi bone]

267k rank

[amber warren]

i thought your score is 250k

[ocean warren]

@onyx crystal if you still update

• Misty : 500
• Marlon : 350
• Lana : 350

200k for a piece of useless medal

[onyx crystal]

Nessa herself, yes. All physical.

All sides have special moves once mid is KO'd typically.

8 days to go and I'm inside the top 3000

what's with the censoring omg 😭

[onyx crystal]

65k with gloria, impressive

Elio vs Misty

i guess the sp.def and debuffs help

[ocean warren]

72k with Gloria and 1/5 Archie here 😌 long live Summer Gloria

[mortal timber]

Tomorrow I'll retry entering top 50

If the roster allows me to do it

[ocean warren]

i don't see anything else Sages atm from past 24 hours

thanks for that investigative work

I've added these tweets to the point ceiling post if anyone wants to go look them over.

[austere holly]

I’m not able to clear Malon with that greninja team now
Idk how I cleared it so easily earlier💀

[molten kayak]

@onyx crystal

update ty!
Misty: 610
Marlon: 700
Lana: 370
Nessa: 400
Archie: 499

[ocean warren]

i have anxiety just thinking about how that Marlon run unfolded

[cosmic marlin]

anyone have a team against Marlon without serena? been trying to make my own but never got decent results

[molten kayak]

tried pykuo's team and it helped boost my score a lot! might not try more than 700 since this was already RNG pain 💀

[molten kayak]

there was one run where I only needed to click water shuriken once to end the fight but rock slide just decided to hit for some reason

[ocean warren]

there should be a few among the numerous pinned team posts

i've seen May & Nessa but haven't looked further

[cosmic marlin]

okiedokie

[molten kayak]

you could really only hope for confusion and -6 accuracy to work in your favor when you can’t sleep or flinch them yet

[onyx crystal]

Still debating if I should really consider spending 250x to climb higher. 🫠

[onyx crystal]

Updated, quite the jump.

[molten kayak]

me who spent candy to get that thunder node on archie despite no more worthwhile reward beyond this

if you do though, i hope you rank high!! ill be cheering

[normal geyser]

Is thunder worth it

[onyx crystal]

Yes, Archie with Super Rain 4 is what is getting high score vsMisty.

[normal geyser]

Hm

I will take a note on that

Still haven't touch it again. I forget it is around 400 or what so it might help me

[fresh sapphire]

Raging Rain 5

SE + RR Pretty much doubles your damage

[normal geyser]

Guess I am a bit more focused on AOE

Gonna need revamp I guess

[haughty haven]

Should move Elio to other stage

[normal geyser]

Prob after changing my grid will try testing with the same team

Yeah

Elio I should change it but

I dont want to touch Nessa or Lana

And Marlon I feel already good

Albeit it have SSB so...

Should have try SSB with Elio but it kinda saved me with endurance

Safety Net

If I retry I might ended up have to fight all of them again in different composition and that means another RNG battle

[rough forum]

@onyx crystal my score in pinned is the old one btw lol

This is the new one

[normal geyser]

Btb thx for the Marlon team before

[onyx crystal]

where is the last direct pinged message to me?

yeah you haven't pinged this team comp + points at me, last one was the 340k score

[onyx crystal]

Just post your updated team/score, or wait till later if you're still grinding.

[cyan tusk]

If you swap Elio for SSBlue you may be able to get the same score on marlon but way more points on misty

I’d also change like this
Eusine with Archie on misty with SSBlue
Dojo Gloria on Lana with May and adaman
Crasher wake / tech gyarados on Archie instead of dojo Gloria

[normal geyser]

That is the problem. The temptation

And I fully aware I might have to revamp all of em

[cyan tusk]

You have my same units so I know you can do way better

[normal geyser]

I might not have the same RNG luck though

[cyan tusk]

Marlon is RNG heavy

The rest is quite easy compared to it

[normal geyser]

I have to hope for evasion

[cyan tusk]

I mean it’s all up to how much you want/need to improve till the event is up

[normal geyser]

Marlon with -6 acc keep hitting like it was not debuffed

Yeah

Right now on 363k. At least maybe I want to try 370k

Mean while 2 evasion sometimes keep missing

I will try slowly though. Starting from Archie with Gyarados probably

[chilly flame]

How does Adaman do vs Misty

[ocean warren]

he has self spdef up so he's fairly bulky i find, so annoying to kill
but obv he's better against nessa

[chilly flame]

Why

[normal geyser]

Against Nessa timing Protect for me is important.

[onyx crystal]

He has team def buffs which important for the other stages

[normal geyser]

X defense all really help

[ocean warren]

protect my beloved

defensive supports redemption in high score

[normal geyser]

Wish Protect isn't 1 time only usage

[ocean warren]

Anni to introduce the first Protect MPR that doesn't involve GMax Replenish

[normal geyser]

I want such as lucky skills at least

[onyx crystal]

or sync reload

[haughty haven]

How can i choose Eggmon in here ?

[haughty haven]

Ty

[forest ferry]

EX Ladaman so good vs Nessa

Recup is a lifesaver

Lets him tank sync

And OTR let's him go evasion hax

[haughty haven]

@onyx crystal all my Team,Grid,Lucky skill all in #1100102557109588099 message

I think i cant go any higher because my 4star pair get oneshot by enemy sync

So i will stop climbing and start playing pokemon sleep

[onyx crystal]

For those in top 100, I'll include a link to pomatools teambuilder in pinned message next to your score.
Create a post with the 5 teams in one post preferrably, and link me the message whether its here or in #1010274591601598555 .

[cosmic marlin]

just to make sure i understand this, this means I'm in 3667th place overall right? and the top 10,000 get the master medal right?

[onyx crystal]

Correct, there are 6,333 others below you ranked among the top 10,000.

[cosmic marlin]

awesome thank you

[onyx crystal]

Be sure to check your ranking daily to see how much it's impacted before the end-date.

[cosmic marlin]

yeee I hope my score is good enough so that I don't have to redo them

[onyx crystal]

There is an additional champion stadium clearable before this event expires, which may cause a spike in score rising on the last day.

[cosmic marlin]

oh that's true

[haughty haven]

Oh and i want to say that I Wish you all the best

I hope someone will use my team and get more point than me

[rough forum]

Nopro

[normal geyser]

It kinda motivating to get higher point too

[rough forum]

I was sure I did this already...weird, sorry @onyx crystal
550
700
400
370
430

I'm not pushing higher

Because I think 350k is the limit for my roster

I don't know if anyone else around my points has only 3 limited waters (one of which is Kriss) or less, but I doubt it

Do I need to show grids and lucky skills since I'm 65th? I wouldn't mind

[onyx crystal]

It's not required, just encouraged. Up to you.

[rough forum]

Not featured grids: dojoglo, wake and cerena (minimals and just aggravation 1 on wake)

The lucky skills are basic cs2 and vigilance on everything that's not Lana (water guard)

And tm1 on elio

[onyx crystal]

You could use pomatools to make it easier: https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team

[rough forum]

Ah

Right

I always forget

Since these links are long

And didn't wanna flood chat

@onyx crystal last time I'm bothering you lol

It didn't let me save one single link so

[onyx crystal]

[rough forum]

Thanks again for all this work

[desert sky]

Can I f2p this

At least for the base rewards

[lone bronze]

You can get some of the rewards! Get what you can.

[quasi bone]

you can if you willing to ex some general pairs

[plush raven]

Do you guys think 260k is gonna be safe for top 10k?

[rough forum]

Yes

[plush raven]

I don’t think I’ll be able to get past that number

[rough forum]

I doubt 10k will even reach 240

[forest ferry]

You don't have to run 3 water units for all teams
Just bring 1 busted unit even if it's offtype, should be enuff for 180k

[rough forum]

^

[plush raven]

The flinch RNG needed to get this high scores is absurd

[forest ferry]

I doubt it's gonna move that much away from 200k itself

40k per run itself is lot of effort
Let alone 50k

[rough forum]

Lol you tell us

[forest ferry]

I forgive flinch rng

[plush raven]

I Cant even get a good queue from flinching

[forest ferry]

Ill never forgive my techdos not being able to survive a Lana sync with +6 def at 400 str

Just for it's stuck at 4*

[plush raven]

I don’t think at 5* it will survive

The egg mons are so weak

[forest ferry]

5* can survive 550 str it seems

[onyx crystal]

How new are you? Assembling triple water teams is a matter of how many you own.
Even with non-water you can get base rewards, however it will depend on How good those pairs for clearing higher strength levels.

[cunning shore]

I personally don't think this event is new-friendly at all

But it's always worth to try with whatever you got and get as much rewards as possible

[cyan tusk]

Little increase

I just redid the nessa run with 30 more strength coz I was bored

[sour fable]

322k is 209 rank. Bruh moment. Whales went too hard on this event

[sour fable]

Me:- why are we still here? Just to suffer?

[rough forum]

Don't even need to be a whale to be in top 300

[sour fable]

True

[rough forum]

Just to have played enough

[sour fable]

With decent luck

[ornate turret]

it's the only event (beside gauntlet) that they can flex. But some whales don't even do gauntlet, this is easier for them. But a dedicated long time player can also be in top 100

[sour fable]

I dont have tech candies. I only have omni candies. I can use them to make my d.gloria 3/5(2 candies) to achieve 345k easily. But this event isnt worth that kind of investment

[rough forum]

It's not worth investing past aiming for 10k

[ornate turret]

yeah wasting candies for this event is not worth

[sour fable]

Gauntlet can be spammed by f2p too so its not a "good enough" stage for whales to show off

[rough forum]

I could get to 370-80k probably if I candied cerena and dojoglo

[cyan tusk]

(Dojo Gloria per se is a worth 3/5 investment imho)

[sour fable]

My lana run is just 300 str

[ornate turret]

unless you're guaranteed to be in top 100 but lbr nobody care for top 100, they only look at top 10 or even top 3

[sour fable]

She truly is worth it. However i have koko and trash to worry about

[rough forum]

I've had her for a year and I don't see a reason to candy her, she's already this busted at 1/5 lol

[sour fable]

And lysandre takes away gloria's best spots

[cyan tusk]

Btw I do agree this is a more Whaley event than gauntlet, said by someone who plays both

[rough forum]

Investing in already broken units feels stupid to me because I'd rather invest in units that actually need 3/5

[sour fable]

I can hit top 100 if i candy gloria

But it's a useless investment atm

[cyan tusk]

60% flinch, nuke, endurance and additional speed drops are worth it for me. I had her 2/5 since her first banner and candied her this January

[rough forum]

1 candy is worth

2? Ehhhh

[sour fable]

Me:- why not both
proceeds to make 5/5 ss diantha and other 3/5 techs

[sour fable]

Well....i bet you dont have garbodor to worry about

That trash is so insane

[mortal timber]

With decent luck atm I am sitting 54th

[sour fable]

Man

[mortal timber]

The perks of not having spent a single dime on this game

[sour fable]

You have ss kris right

[mortal timber]

Ofc

[sour fable]

Yeah not surprised

I'm getting rekt for not having good supports

My best support against lana is ss misty and her evas buffs with 300 str

[mortal timber]

Rn I have EX Lana and SS Kris having the same strength clear

Which is 580

[sour fable]

Damn

Imma stop at 322k

[mortal timber]

I can still improve but I am busy nowadays

So all today and tomorrow I cannot touch the game

[sour fable]

I still have that stupid zygarde to shiny hunt

[cyan tusk]

I have her but still figuring out, I have 4/5 Emma so I might be leaving her at 1/5 bc the stat drops is already ok for me

[sour fable]

Dont. The duo of emma and oleana is insane. Just wait for a support with poison zone

[cyan tusk]

Yeah I agree, or Fall Iris

[sour fable]

If we dont need a tank then emma + oleana + iris it is. If we need a tank then we have to let go of iris. Its not bcuz iris is weak. Its bcuz the other 2 are just way too strong

[spark storm]

[rancid perch]

done with archie, 540 felt doable but I dropped it to 530 to give lana an easier time
with the flinch rng I got, lana's bulk likely could've gotten through 550 strength and kris' damage was definitely no issue, still had her endurance to queue two more mega kicks after sync if need be but for such a small score increase now it doesn't feel worth it

back in top 100 but I'll work on other stages before updating my score here

[plush raven]

Whats your score?

[warm kayak]

351,348

i was supposed to get started on sunday but something came up

hopefully tomorrow

[light star]

only dropped by 60 ranks

[chilly flame]

You drop less as you get higher up

[light star]

bless

i should be ok then

[carmine cedar]

Still slow to feel like i'll be in danger

Maybe I'll try again once I drop to 5000 or 6000, feels like they're slowly giving up, last days remains to be seen tho

Whats cutoff for 10000? I assume 203k or so now

[warm kayak]

what are your current points?

[carmine cedar]

242184 at 4368 now

36 hours later I dropped 550 ranks

[open flame]

This is key

[carmine cedar]

I might be going 15 mins without dropping a rank tho

Yes defo past that

Seems like past 1:00 AM (or 38 mins ago this post) there's dead hours

[lone trout]

I am maintaining well

[topaz sleet]

i havent reset at all and my score used to be enough for rank like 600ish and i just checked now and i'm at 2.5k 💀

[grand perch]

I’m at 256k, haven’t try harded yet

[onyx crystal]

Okay I see now why we pray for no blizzards.

[topaz sleet]

any nessa teams with what i have left

[round stone]

who did kris+tlrosa on archie? I want team specs

[forest ferry]

Kris runs nuke and aggravation
Tlrosa doesn't need anything notable from grid
Tank was Hilbert who runs crit squad, def up and aggravation

Strat is Kris flinches at start, till Hilbert is done buffing after which Hilbert is the one doing the flinches
Tl rosa just targets middle and drops defense

[round stone]

@spark storm for the SSTRed team on Nessa, is Adaman EX necessary?

[onyx crystal]

for high strength levels, yes. Otherwise you'll have to lower the difficulty.

600 is pretty high.

[round stone]

shit

do you know what his role is in the team? I may be able to find a replacement

[onyx crystal]

I mean even the 400k run doesn't run Nessa that high.

[round stone]

Is Nessa just stupidly hard?

[onyx crystal]

he made the stage harder because sst Red is just hard carrying. But he took a hit on points since he's non-water. Triple water teams just can't afford to go up against that much strength.

[forest ferry]

Nessa goes with EQ spam so SSTred isn't fun either

I had to run mine vs Marlon coz of it

[round stone]

crap I keep finding overlapping pairs in different teams

[onyx crystal]

I'm assuming they're flinching each unit.

I'm trying the flinch route on Lana. Been stuck here for a while.

Pykuo, 560 strength feels like some alternate reality hellscape.

[haughty haven]

Lana already a demon so

[chilly flame]

Pykuo has to have some love for RNG fights

[haughty haven]

Not anymore, now i’m playing pokemon sleep

[round stone]

does anyone have an semi-accessible nessa team? I'm struggling to find one.

[haughty haven]

🛌

[chilly flame]

What pairs have you used already and what pairs do you have left

[rancid perch]

mine is more accessible than most with only a mere 2/5 sslysandre

[round stone]

correction: what pairs do I have planned*

[round stone]

that's the problem

[stark eagle]

I used this

[onyx crystal]

I mean it looks like Nessa, Wake, Hilbert seems to be your only option here, is it your last stage?

[round stone]

.

[onyx crystal]

Oh I was looking at a different user's image that was right above your question.

[onyx crystal]

I mean it looks like Nessa, Wake, Hilbert seems to be your only option here, is it your last stage?

[round stone]

Misty: SSKris, Archie, May

• If there's no strat for the other teams, may as well go overkill here
  Marlon: Elio, CSerena, Marlon
• Pretty cost effective option for high points
  Lana: TBD
  Nessa: TBD
  Archie: Hlibert/Lana, Kris, TLRosa/Eggmon

I don't want to ex Adaman for one event

[stark eagle]

Misty looks overkill, what move lvls/exs?

[chilly flame]

What move level is Archie

[round stone]

Don't worry about anything. Most of the good options are EXed apart from Adaman

[stark eagle]

If archie is 3/5 you can win with Archie tech.Blastoise EVMisty

[round stone]

all limiteds that I have already stated are 3/5 EX

[chilly flame]

Replace May with SwiMisty

[onyx crystal]

can you just post your water roster

[round stone]

ah sure

I got like half the water limiteds

[chilly flame]

I’d recommend EXing psyduck

[round stone]

yeah yeah I'll do that since I'm a LG tryhard

forgot to mention that I will be doing that 100% guaranteed

[forest ferry]

Can you get Marlon to 5*?

[round stone]

yeah, but like why?

[chilly flame]

He doesn’t need 5*

[rancid perch]

at certain strength thresholds, 4*s just can't survive sync anymore

depending on how high you want to go, it could be necessary

[haughty haven]

4 star Marlon fine until 730 str

[chilly flame]

Yea unless you plan on going past 700 then 5* is not needed

[forest ferry]

Wait, he doesn't have to survive sync?

[chilly flame]

He does

[haughty haven]

He need survive sync

[forest ferry]

So 4* is all he needs

[rancid perch]

ok yeah marlon is fine but for other units the bulk would be relevant at more reasonable strength levels

[chilly flame]

Yea

[chilly flame]

I’d also recommend Adaman but I know you don’t wanna ex him for this event

[haughty haven]

If you plan lower than 700str

In VS Marlon 730 str, If enemy Marlon not -4atk

Your 4star Marlon always get oneshot sync

This is my pain when i try 730 Marlon

[magic sandal]

Santos i'm pretty sure my marlon score is gonna increase after shuffling

[stark eagle]

I would suggest

• Misty: Archie evMisty(EX) Barry
• Marlon: ncSerena Elio fill
• Lana: Nessa ssBlue fill
• Nessa: May ssKris fill
• Archie: Lana Kris fill

Foe the fill just manage between TLRosa/ssGrims on Lana and Archie, Crasherw, tec.Blastoise for the others

ssMisty is also nice on Misty instead of Barry eventuall

Setting strenght at 300-350 it should be easy and you'll be between 250k-300k

[topaz sleet]

it was my last stage yeah

i got like 60k on all the other stages but ran out of good water types

i ended up doing hilbert/misty/ss giovanni offtype

err, ontype

not really a good score

[maiden canopy]

Hmmmm, it seels like it's been tame for these past few days

Expect a bloodbath when July 23 or July 24 comes

[round stone]

istg if it is worse than the last minute LG

[lone bronze]

This event feels much harder than last minute LG

Far more rng

[topaz sleet]

mfs dedicating entire days to increasing the strength of the opponents by 1 every clear until it becomes unbeatable

[muted tundra]

I haven't done it yet. What do people suggest?

[stark eagle]

For me the hardest thing was to deal with the rng on their moveset
Lana stage doing Razor shell-> Hydro pump-> Muddy water is a death sentence
La/Lg stages got a pattern and the only rng is up to your build

[tacit monolith]

Muddy water from Lana ?

You mean liquidation ?

[snow radish]

slowly losing my sanity once again

[rain sierra]

It's pretty much RNG if you want high score

It's all good if you spend hours getting another 4k. Else, you will hate yourself even more

[stark eagle]

Ye, meant the sides keep attacking
But yeah, add another Razor shell before muddy water and your tank is prrtty much dead

[snow radish]

had the perfect run and then ofc I missed the frickin sync crit lol

I'm not even trying anything super fancy, just trying to make do without having limited water damage dealers other than archie

[spark storm]

Help boost defense, tank a bit with endurance + damage guard and support ex sync, so yh ex needed for that much points else you won't do enough damage, but it can still works at lower str

But anyway 600 str on Nessa with sst red is really a bad idea, you basically need that she didn't land a single earthquake

[stark eagle]

If you use 3 water units it's just easier

[spark storm]

Which is a bit hard when you don't have any good dps left

[stark eagle]

They got enough units

[rain sierra]

300 is no-RNG zone. Anything past that requires heavy RNG, especially Lana

[stark eagle]

Lana is damn pain

[haughty haven]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-anime-gif-21028290

Lana when i dont have Dojo Gloria

[rain sierra]

Also, there is no presync bullshit in this mode. You have to take the first one or die trying

[haughty haven]

Heck even with Dojo Gloria still too much Rng

[spark storm]

Trust me it's really worse without

[haughty haven]

i know, that why i will never move Dj Gloria to other stage

[stark eagle]

I did one run and forgot to use Nessa EX, oof

[snow radish]

oof this is what I get for not pulling for limited damage dealers I guess

[spark storm]

I don't even know how I managed 400 on her lmao

[haughty haven]

i still see no one try 600 str Lana

[spark storm]

Well it's kinda hard when you get oneshoted and you can't heal you after

[stark eagle]

They can but probably they've to waste all their top units

We still have time to see weird scores

[haughty haven]

yeah, 700 marlon easy than 550 Lana

[rain sierra]

220k is plausible with spotlights and ss blue

But EX is definitely required

[stark eagle]

They found a way to make us burn

I was reaching 200 beforr rip

[bright river]

this

[rough forum]

For what strenght

Mine is super accessible but it's 370 str "only"

[rain sierra]

But I already do that with LG

This is much much worse since you also require more specific pairs

[crude iron]

Ruhroh. This is failing even at 200str marlon

box:

[rain sierra]

My real concern here - Where's your Water gear?

[crude iron]

havent had time to farm up the water set yet

[rain sierra]

Do it

You're losing out on twice the benefit using an offgear

[stark eagle]

Is it worse bcs of this
Uneven numbers

[haughty haven]

No

[crude iron]

mid barely dies presync but then nessa does like nothing to sides because no more rain left

[haughty haven]

Idk why Dena just give 1

[stark eagle]

Imagine reaching 400k
Dena: here 44

[rain sierra]

||LG|| Players : Damn, what cheapstakes

[cunning shore]

That's honestly my reaction

I was kinda bummed by the amount

[rancid perch]

nessa not very good as a solo damage dealer for this tbh

[warm kayak]

next might be grass or fire

fire is a type where i didn't candy much

[lone bronze]

Pull Rose just in case they run a steel one

Multi type strikers are the big winners

[warm kayak]

nice try Oleana, I'm still skipping him

are all the weaknesses of water type btw?

or are some due to secondary typing?

right, there's fighting weak, that answers my question

[rain sierra]

There's a myriad. Electric is common enough for 3 stages

But the issue is each stage has 3 SE, so it's best to focus on center

[gentle lynx]

The real challenge is using as much eggmons as possible. I used tech squirtle, tech gyarados, support cloyster. Mainly coz I skipped greninja, volcanion, etc. Didn't invest in other water units much either, except dojoria and Eusine of course. So yea.

[warm kayak]

I'd say aoe no dmg reduction units are

still waiting for that lucky skill qol update

[maiden canopy]

I can imagine the rage if there was Tough Skin in this mode

[warm kayak]

tbh that's anniv material and many ask for it

not replying to you Johtrio

[maiden canopy]

Yeah

[warm kayak]

that would be just

[maiden canopy]

I'm just waiting for Impervious guaranteed cookie or deluxe cookie

[warm kayak]

i just want to swap between several without rerolling every time

especially stuff like WW3

[rough forum]

Was so sure it was at least 5 per 5k

Until I checked yesterday

[quasi bone]

1 is quite sad

[warm kayak]

they don't want people to go above 180k

unless they aim for top 10k

[quasi bone]

would have been nice if rankings gave some type of reward

[fallen reef]

a medal is fine nobody wants prestige 2.0

[sturdy glen]

u literally said it to someone that would like some rewards

[fallen reef]

true

i see the irony

[spark storm]

Nah that would be good with some rewards

This is nothing like prestige, a f2p can do high rank here

[rough forum]

The same was true with prestige

But people cried and didn't even try

And because of that f2ps who actually tried got medal

[quasi bone]

Yep I got it easy while not using paid gems

[rough forum]

Same

People cried before even trying, it was hilarious

[quasi bone]

exactly 💯

people without skills always cry lol

[rain sierra]

It still surprised me that we got 10k who did over 180k

[quasi bone]

yes same so we actually got better than average players

[rugged drum]

Not 10k yet, but I might do higher strength fights for nessa

[rough forum]

@rugged drum what rank is the 10000th person at? I'm curious

[rugged fjord]

10k is probably around 212K, I have 213K and I'm at 9604

[rugged drum]

I can only check 50 places above mine

[forest ferry]

6 days left and bottom ranks started to get pushed

230k-240k might be safezone by the end of event

[long oyster]

Bottom 10k is above 200k ?

Maybe I should push to 300 just to be sure

I really wish I had glojo rn

[forest ferry]

Eh if you are past 250k, you are definitely safe

50k+ per team is hard

[long oyster]

Yeah the gap between 250 and 275 is massive

But you never know

[forest ferry]

1/5 glojo wouldn't change much anyways

[long oyster]

Theres another round of cs before the event ends

[forest ferry]

Still gonna need to ex her and fish for flinches

[long oyster]

She would help a ton against Lana to keep her defense down

I can also afford to candy her to 3/5

[forest ferry]

Lana is hard even with busted roster

[long oyster]

I agree

[forest ferry]

She's the one capping the scores

Tbf if you rly had glojo

You'd rather her vs archie

[long oyster]

But then mine wouldnt be stuck at 44k

[forest ferry]

And bump the points there more

Instead of small boost vs Lana

[long oyster]

🤔

[forest ferry]

After all candying 5* for 1 event is never worth

[long oyster]

I dont mind spending the ressources if the unit is good enough

I hoard a lot

[rough forum]

Damn 205k is 10k? Wasn't it 197 yesterday? But I guess gaining points is easy until 250-60k so it's fair

[forest ferry]

I remember first 4 days stuck at 170k
Then it moved it 190k

[candid cobalt]

It seems that the Masters cutoff has gone over 200k now

[forest ferry]

Now it's already close to 210k

[candid cobalt]

Yeesh

[rugged fjord]

master 9612 with 213K points

[forest ferry]

I assume lot of people are rolling lySS and glojo banner and trying out more runs by now

[rugged fjord]

lowest i can scroll is 9663 with 213102

[forest ferry]

That banner is busted after all

[rough forum]

They showed ultra 1 at 204k

[candid cobalt]

Guess it was a good thing I was scared that I wasn't gonna make the cutoff when I had 222k points

[rugged drum]

I've never pulled for any of the water pairs, so I'm trying with the general stuff I have

[candid cobalt]

Same here

[long oyster]

Any ?

[rugged fjord]

I have the spirits to ex two units, just don't know who to use them on for the event

[long oyster]

But theres so many

[atomic hamlet]

How much point i can aim with this water type roster ?

[forest ferry]

I only pulled lySS as of now
But the score improvement after him is only 2k pts

1/5 lyss is not worth at all

[long oyster]

High

[forest ferry]

[candid cobalt]

He isn't?

I thought he was still really powerful at 1/5

[forest ferry]

He's only 2k pts more than my summer Gloria run

[candid cobalt]

Ah

[forest ferry]

I meant for the event

[long oyster]

Thats 2k I'll gladly take

[forest ferry]

Well
The water duo banner is by far best banner of the year

[candid cobalt]

Welp uh I'm at rank 3195 at 253,794 points

[forest ferry]

Even better than galar champions imo

The account power boost is insane

[candid cobalt]

I would pull but anni is so close

[forest ferry]

But water is stacked so no reason to roll if you only care abt ontype

[candid cobalt]

And knowing my luck I'll probably be like that guy who got all Crasher Wakes and Siebolds

[long oyster]

I just want Rapid Strike Urshifu but Adaman and Irida sucked my gems dry

[candid cobalt]

It's too close to anni now that I've gotta save

[long oyster]

Eh

[candid cobalt]

I've only got 5k gems

[long oyster]

Anni units stay for a long time

[rugged fjord]

I already did two multis, got dojo gloria to 3/5, not worth doing more trying to get 1/5 lyss

[atomic hamlet]

400

But i got dojo now

[long oyster]

If you can save starting from run up to anni, you should be good

[forest ferry]

Anni units are likely MFs so 1% rates

Better to save than struggle

[candid cobalt]

Yeahh

I wanna have more than 1 pity on hand

[forest ferry]

They can pull one on us like 2.5 anni

But it's the same month that gave us zygarde as well

[long oyster]

(X) Doubt

[forest ferry]

So guaranteed 4 limited units

Minimum

[long oyster]

That and groudon rerunning

Potential 5 MFs again

[candid cobalt]

Oh yeah it's probably gonna be 4 new MFs

[long oyster]

Wait no, groudon is in august

Mb

[forest ferry]

Well as long as you don't worry much abt the medal
You won't get tempted by the water duo banner

I doubt F2P can hit 230k+

But 180k is very doable

[candid cobalt]

Nah it's possible

[atomic hamlet]

I forgot i had this unit

[candid cobalt]

I don't have any limiteds except for Eusine

[atomic hamlet]

Farty

[forest ferry]

I mean
You still made up with a lot of ex units

[candid cobalt]

True

[candid cobalt]

Most "f2p" runs would likely have a ton of EX's in their teams to make up to

[candid cobalt]

Geez

[forest ferry]

Ex Barry , siebold

[atomic hamlet]

Misty so annoying

[long oyster]

How

[forest ferry]

Bring rain for misty

[long oyster]

Shes the least annoying

[forest ferry]

No

Least annoying is Marlon

[candid cobalt]

????

[long oyster]

Alright Marlon then Misty

[candid cobalt]

Marlon is the most annoying

[long oyster]

Nah

[candid cobalt]

Tf

[forest ferry]

Lana takes the cake

[atomic hamlet]

Me when my name is archie

[forest ferry]

Peak torture

[long oyster]

Most annoying is Lana by a mile

[cunning shore]

The links here are not working fyi
Maybe just me if so then false alarm hehe

[candid cobalt]

Archie is tame compared to Marlon

[forest ferry]

Lana > Nessa > Archie > misty > Marlon

[candid cobalt]

Evasion AND Endurance

[onyx crystal]

The twitter link?

[cunning shore]

Yeah

[candid cobalt]

Shit had me missing half my moves after he synced

[atomic hamlet]

Nessa wast that annoying for me

[onyx crystal]

I purposely didn't embed it, but it links fine to the japanese hastag.

[forest ferry]

Nessa spams EQ

[cunning shore]

It doesn't for me

It's all good, I am safe anyways

[rough forum]

Lol, probably 360-70k

[forest ferry]

Marlon gets countered by SSmisty of all things
And had 2 low damage moves presync

[rugged fjord]

you probably aren't logged into twitter

[onyx crystal]

works fine for me on Desktop and iPhone.
Odd

[long oyster]

I might not be a reference on Nessa since I had LySS before the event started

I think she's fine tbh

[cunning shore]

Android says no
Might be a region thing since I am in a 3rd world country lmao

[onyx crystal]

I wouldn't be surprised if the ceo did something stupid again to it's regional access.

[candid cobalt]

I did use Eusine so he blessed me with flinching right before she used earthquake most times

It was purely luck

[forest ferry]

Her EQ is nasty
So many resets coz of it

[candid cobalt]

I made the mistake of using Lana against Nessa instead of against Archie but hey she worked

Wide Guard my beloved

[onyx crystal]

I'll be remote today. So

[atomic hamlet]

Ss lys my beloved

[rough forum]

Difficulty wise, Marlon is hard if you don't have a free may or cerena

[long oyster]

Group water guard my beloved

[rough forum]

But Nessa and Lana are way way worse

[mortal timber]

Today I am back on the grind

[rough forum]

Easily

[mortal timber]

Gotta improve hopefully to 80k points Nessa

And maybe Marlon

[cunning shore]

Take a break

[rough forum]

^

[mortal timber]

To defend my 63rd position

[candid cobalt]

Funny you say that when Nessa and Lana were my two best battles

[atomic hamlet]

Dojo gloria is so fun

[forest ferry]

I mean
Nessa is my best score as well

[rough forum]

They're so much RNG heavy imho

Nessa just sucks

[forest ferry]

That doesn't make it less annoying

[candid cobalt]

Nessa was fine for me but I do have Eusine

Eusine is very nice

[long oyster]

How is Lana your best battle

[rough forum]

Funny 50/50 between 2shot ST damage and 3-4shot AoE damage

[atomic hamlet]

No healing is very annoying

[candid cobalt]

I specifically saved SSB for Lana

[forest ferry]

Lana is so bad that I have less score against Lana with 3 water units than my sstred run vs Marlon

[candid cobalt]

These are my teams

[forest ferry]

[rough forum]

Lana is fine because RNG is tamer but the no healing means it's harder to get high points

[forest ferry]

I personally found lana's RNG worse

[rough forum]

Without going into whale bs

[haughty haven]

Lana is the most insane stage in this challenge

[candid cobalt]

But Lana was nice to me cos the Octillery hardly used Hydro Pump against me

[long oyster]

How much str is that on Lana

[forest ferry]

I need her to use stuff like ice beam so that ssblue lives post sync

[rough forum]

I mean 50-55k Vs Lana is way easier than Vs Nessa imo

[candid cobalt]

Wouldn't Nessa be easier?

[forest ferry]

I see icicle crash, razor shell, hydropump
It's reset

Literally pain

[rough forum]

The difference comes when you start pushing 450-500+ strenght on Lana

[haughty haven]

Sad with my Nessa stage

[pliant temple]

these posts are awesome Sages, thank you for this

[long oyster]

< stuck at 44k

Wrong answer

[rough forum]

The higher the strength, the worse Lana gets

[long oyster]

Maaaan

[rough forum]

Same for nessa, but less

[candid cobalt]

Oh I'll agree with that

[haughty haven]

Every stage get to like 700str

[forest ferry]

Tbf Lana would still be hardest stage even if stage had any other gimmick
Almost all her moves hit hard

[haughty haven]

But Lana is not

[long oyster]

Look

[forest ferry]

It's just icebeam you can take

[long oyster]

Nessa hits hard

[rough forum]

Nessa at 450-500+ needs just big roster

[long oyster]

Lana's stage wants you dead on the 1st turn

[candid cobalt]

Wait lemme send my strengths

[pliant temple]

[rough forum]

Without a big roster you're better off having more points on Marlon and misty than trying to even out points

[tacit monolith]

Do SS Misty (Vaporeon) sync harder than May (Swampert) ?

[rough forum]

Because instead of having 50k on everything it's better to have 75-80-40-40-60k instead

[rough forum]

Without rain yes

With rain, no

[pliant temple]

Nessa is infuriating

those damn Earthquakes

[candid cobalt]

Misty - 250
Marlon - 210 (I never want to attempt this stage again in my life)
Lana - 300
Nessa - 335
Archie - 320

[haughty haven]

But May without rain suck

[candid cobalt]

My strengths are very tame

[haughty haven]

[candid cobalt]

As compared to most of you here

So yeah

[forest ferry]

I did 695 strength on Marlon
Bless sstred

[long oyster]

May without Rain doesnt exist

I mean you're good

I cant even go past 200 on Lana without losing my mind

[candid cobalt]

Fair enuf

[rough forum]

I ran sskris may vaporeon in case stage prolonged too much or may got sniped early by blizzard and I needed to sync mid for the kill

But +6 evasion vaporeon died before +0 evasion swampert EVERY SINGLE TIME

EVERY
SINGLE
TIME

[haughty haven]

Lana without Dojo Gloria

[candid cobalt]

I can see how she's annoying

[haughty haven]

[candid cobalt]

She hits hard and you can't heal

[rough forum]

Yeah without dojoglo Lana is either low str or mid str with chop or scdisntha

[pliant temple]

I managed 400 on Lana but it was with rain and two very upgraded limiteds

[forest ferry]

Lana I did 320 strength with 3/5 summer Gloria but once I got 1/5 lyss it bumped to 380

[candid cobalt]

I specifically saved SSB for Lana simply cos he can tank a lot

[pliant temple]

the lack of healing is so aggravating

[mortal timber]

The luck I had Vs Lana is smth unexplainable

[long oyster]

I kept Lyss for Nessa

[rough forum]

I did...400 Lana and 370 Nessa
380 Nessa was legit impossible

[pliant temple]

yeah i used him on that stage, bonus points for the confusion

[haughty haven]

Even with Dojo pass 600 still insane

[forest ferry]

My 4* tech gyara doesn't survive sync without burn at 380 str

[candid cobalt]

Yeahh SSB is nice against Lana

Plus he also gives Endurance after sync

[pliant temple]

you need the endure

[rough forum]

I dodged a +2 ACC hydro with +2 Eva Hilbert on my clear lol

[candid cobalt]

So he can tank 2 more hits

[mortal timber]

Rn I am attempting 580 Nessa and SS Lysandre gotta do his best at 2/5

[pliant temple]

it was SSB + blow her away with my 5/5 LySS under rain

but damn

took a lot of resets to make sure SSB survived to sync

[candid cobalt]

What strength did you use Tai?

[mortal timber]

If I win this round, on Nessa I will get 80k+ points

Which would be very helpful for me

To stay up there

[candid cobalt]

Gl Dabbo!

[mortal timber]

Problem is if everyone start pushing with cserena

Goodbye top 100

😂

[haughty haven]

Y mean bully Marlon

[mortal timber]

Yeah hahaha

[rough forum]

My Marlon got bullied enough

1/5 cerena is absolutely mental

[mortal timber]

So far best points are 79k misty, 78k Archie and soon 80k Nessa

[candid cobalt]

Cerena moment

[rough forum]

I went from 550 to 700 in a day

[mortal timber]

Marlon at my best I can do near 65k

Lana we don't talk about it

[rough forum]

With cerena you can easily do 90k

Marlon

[mortal timber]

Wish I have herrrrrrr

[long oyster]

Define easily

[mortal timber]

Last and only limited water I miss haha

[rough forum]

First try with mid rng at 1/5 ex

[forest ferry]

I want to move cerena to Marlon but I basically have nothing to deal with Nessa then

[pliant temple]

400

[mortal timber]

But back at her banner I skipped cuz was low on gems

[long oyster]

I will gladly take the +30k

Mine is 3/5

[mortal timber]

Lysandre is already carrying me a lot though so props to volcanion

[pliant temple]

i wouldn't say easily, you do need to have a lot of strategy and luck

[forest ferry]

Maybe if I get glojo tmrw I'll move cerena around

[rough forum]

Just understand you'll need a long clear

[long oyster]

Oh no

[candid cobalt]

Gee that must be rough

[haughty haven]

Dont do it

[rough forum]

With my team it almost never required RNG or setups

[long oyster]

Both my ssb and mistyDuck are used on different stages

[haughty haven]

Will take you a lot of time

[candid cobalt]

I cannot imagine doing more than 350 strength lmao

[long oyster]

But he said easily

[haughty haven]

No

[pliant temple]

definitely doable, i just don't agree with 'easily'
