High Score

[mortal timber]

Dead

[forest ferry]

I just noticed

Level 148 wake

[mortal timber]

Wanna know why?

Because without that he would never survive 400 strength sync from Marlon

At lvl 147 / 148 he was on a range

So on my Marlon clear I even had to pray wake lived

PLUS

[chilly flame]

Suffering from success

[mortal timber]

Mpr rng on may and adaman

[chilly flame]

5/5 clears too fast

[mortal timber]

😭

Wake is on a range only at +6 defenses

So if adaman wasn't getting mpr, it was a reset

May with no full crit via mpr? Another reset

I went through amount of insane bs with Marlon

[onyx crystal]

this event has led me to hate MPR, 80% crit on sync/max and

[mortal timber]

So true

🤝

Still wake was an absolute goat

[light star]

mpr never fires when u need it

[mortal timber]

Long live to floatzel

[chilly flame]

Me but with flinches

[onyx crystal]

now I want a champion stadium round effect that makes all chance effects 100%

[chilly flame]

Oh yea sages you reminded me

[mortal timber]

And if you wonder why some of the scores are like ending with the digit 4

[chilly flame]

Crit on sync is a myth in this event

[onyx crystal]

so many lana clears ending because Max Knuckle didn't crit 😭

[mortal timber]

It's because I noticed that after some amount of points there is an immediate bounce in bulk and strength on the enemies so i tried to get the exact limit to what my teams could do

[chilly flame]

I swear I’ve had more missed crits in this event than I have in my entire 3.5 years of playing this game

[mortal timber]

This morning I should have done Marlon already

But guess what

May missed crit right when I needed

Rolled a nice and fair 20%

Ez

[round stone]

team specs (grid/ls) for Misty team pls?

[chilly flame]

Oh that reminded me

Spark we got a better one

[long oyster]

Any reason for rain gear on Lana ?

[mortal timber]

Btw now I remember, yes I got an insane lucky confusion on a side at the end and managed to kill both with steam eruption because they were both at red hp

If the side wasn't self hitting I would still be retrying Nessa lmfao

[chilly flame]

Before I was using tech Gyarados so that’s why I had that, forgot to take that off lol

[long oyster]

Oh

I see

Thx

[chilly flame]

Since the current team I used doesn’t have rain you can probably swap that for uh

[forest ferry]

This is going out of hand

Soon 1 team will get all rewards

[chilly flame]

Karpe Diem MGR I guess

Either that or HP Trade off idk

[long oyster]

I was thinking hp tradeoff for better leech life succ

[alpine crow]

Not recommended, NC Serena should go Marlon

[mortal timber]

Insane stuff still

[mortal timber]

I went tough cookie for that 😂

[long oyster]

That's

[mortal timber]

You get +4 so I was like, let's do it haha

[long oyster]

Yeah that makes a lot more sense

[alpine crow]

She’s crazy, I’m very curious her teams

[round stone]

@onyx crystal~~ archie team specs? (lana, kris tech gyara)~~

damn I'm all over the place

At least I got my initial planning done

Archie team specs (grids/ls)? team of lana, kris, tech blastoise.

[onyx crystal]

This was shared previously:

if you run tech gyarados instead of wake, you can grid lana for Rain gear 1 instead of Leech life MGR3

[forest panther]

Nothing specific. SS Kris is 1/5, SS Misty is full Nuke with shifty striker, Archie is standard 3/5 with Super Rain. LS are Adrenaline, CS2, WW3

[sour fable]

You can easily hit 300k+ with these units

[magic sandal]

[sage dawn]

How many points to get the medal?

[ornate turret]

213k atm but it'll be higher

[stray dust]

Probably 240k-260k

[worn bronze]

have you done it yet @round stone lol

[rancid perch]

I have 2/5 lyssandre but I'm using gyarados on another stage

[rancid perch]

Misty: 510
Marlon: 690
Lana: 500
Nessa: 500
Archie: 530

currently ranked 85 at time of posting

[maiden canopy]

Damn, no Cerena too, nice

[rancid perch]

think I'm done with nessa now that I got a good run with confusion, but the other stages I think I can still improve, in particular I want to see if I can triple water marlon with barry

[warm kayak]

maybe Barry + Nessa to setup his cakewalk?

[maiden canopy]

You don't have eggmon Blastoise?

[rancid perch]

yeah serena's the big one I'm missing, most likely would've pulled for her too if I was active at the time

[onyx crystal]

Moved you up to the top 100 post

[mortal timber]

Top 100 became very stacked these days, or mostly the bottom 50 part of it

[rancid perch]

I do have tech blastoise but I didn't really see a spot to fit him in

[maiden canopy]

Prolly on your Marlon team

Either replace MiSSty or SST Red

[rancid perch]

I was thinking psyduck + elio + barry, gets his offenses maxed pretty quickly and aria trip up + bubblebeam on a roll can probably get cakewalk done reasonably

[carmine cedar]

Assuming yesterday was when minimum points broke through to 210k... welp, it's really going to be 230k to be safe

If there's no unexpected surprises due to last minute players

[mortal timber]

This vs Marlon?

[carmine cedar]

I also timed my own ranking, and I dropped 4576 -> 4809, so it's definitely slowing down fast enough

[onyx crystal]

There are a lot more last minute players than I think can be comprehended.
There's a champion stadium clear before the reset, so I expect a bunch of last day try-harding.

[carmine cedar]

Wait is it because they could EX one of the water pairs using gained champion spirits (and improve score that way)

[long oyster]

Do you guys think high score will still be in the event tab on tuesday so we can check our final rank

[maiden canopy]

I'm at 256k at rank 3184

[mortal timber]

Monday is the real deal

The last day

[maiden canopy]

Monday is gonna be a bloodbath

[carmine cedar]

Worried I have ot reset completely :/

[mortal timber]

Even tho gotta say, today many people started ranking up

[maiden canopy]

Is 256k even enough for top 10k?

[mortal timber]

We will discover it on Monday imo

[rancid perch]

yeah

oh wait

strikers don't work against marlon

[mortal timber]

Yeah

[rancid perch]

[mortal timber]

That’s why I asked you that

But dw all good happens

[onyx crystal]

Uh, you know. I hope they do allow that, but all the timers say it ends on that reset.

[mortal timber]

I was thinking sometimes to slot eusine there, but then remembered

[carmine cedar]

Really? I didn't feel much variance / change in activity, and I've timed my own ranking myself

Not as much as in first days though

[mortal timber]

Eh here before improving Marlon I dropped from around 50th to 61 then back to 56th and now I am not checking since forever

The top 100 has been quite active

At least the bottom part

[carmine cedar]

If it's the top 100 people, I don't care too much about it

[long oyster]

Ranking up in top 10k is rewarding rn because there are huge gaps

[mortal timber]

Saw many new players entering there in these 2 days

[carmine cedar]

I could improve my points now, but I don't feel like it right now ...

[long oyster]

Yesterday at 275k I was top 1500,
Today at 331k I'm at top 200

If people start trying it's gonna be real hard tho

[carmine cedar]

Phew...

I need the medal though and then I can just stop worrying or tryharding too much

[onyx crystal]

Only good thing is that it's monday and people will have school /work

[long oyster]

Ye

[carmine cedar]

Imagine having school on monday

[onyx crystal]

In July

[long oyster]

That's what I hope mitigates the dmg

[carmine cedar]

I think I can still be somewhat ok since I can go almost, say, 15 minutes without dropping a rank, but I haven't tried to look at it 24/7

but I wouldn't really rely on "how long you can go without dropping down" because everyone got their own timezones

what time is it for you guys btw?

[long oyster]

3PM

[carmine cedar]

It is almost 9:15 PM. At around 3:00 PM your time, the rank drop is slow for me

[carmine cedar]

Aw shucks it's like I said. I just now dropped to 4810. But see, I should be fine for the foreeseable future!

[round stone]

no lmao

[long oyster]

If anything, you could still grind some points

[carmine cedar]

but that requires resetting all 🥲

Oh well, I'll wait until sunday and see what I can do until then

[atomic rain]

so am i supposed to sync the sides first on marlon

cuz i can kill mid fairly easily but sides just throw out some stupid 500 damage aoe

[long oyster]

Whats your team

[atomic rain]

nessa dgloria sonia

elio doesn’t buff crit and also gets completely folded by liquidation

maybe lana instead of sonia

[long oyster]

Who are you using on Lana if not glojo ?

[atomic rain]

but 50/50 crit sync feels bleh

[atomic rain]

i did it with ss blue kris and hilbert

probably a mistake using double support

[long oyster]

I have a lot of questions

Oh wait I guess you dont have Cerena

[atomic rain]

i dont

[long oyster]

That explains it

Not sure how you're supposed to beat them without accuracy drop

[atomic rain]

ugh i used may on misty fuck

i guess thats who that was for

[long oyster]

I was k.o.ing Poliwrath > Marlon > Barbaracle

In that order

[atomic rain]

ok yeah that makes sense cuz surf usually kills me

[long oyster]

Not necessarily but in your case I guess

Because you would need to time your rains to not get destroyed

[atomic rain]

well i think it’d be better than nessa here

[long oyster]

Probably

[long oyster]

You're still going to pray for rock slide to miss

So make sure to deal DPS on barbaracle if you know your sync is gonna KO Marlon

[atomic rain]

i dont think 300 is doable for this team

i got close but rock slide hit and basically killed her from full anyway

also missed two razor shells in a row which was kind of cancer

[long oyster]

If you've got Elio you can do a pykuo
Let him tank
Give him troublemaker
Use Marlon with Pinpoint Entry 1

You have a tank with 100 acc on sing for sleep denial

[atomic rain]

wait why does marlon need ppe1

[long oyster]

Team* Pinpoint Entry 1

Mb

It's for Elio

[atomic rain]

oh

yeah

does he need p ups or is he just a sacrificial totem

[long oyster]

That way you can get some cycles in before Marlon

Is your Marlon 4*

[atomic rain]

no

and i literally just traded my 3* to ex dgloria

[long oyster]

Make him

[atomic rain]

:dies:

[long oyster]

And give him Unyielding as well

Well, give him unyielding still

X Defense all mpr
And x Defense all barricade buddies as well

3 X defense all + 2 X Sp.Def all from elio and your defenses are maxed

[atomic rain]

i think ill just do 200 with elio

this is too much work for my small brain

ok fuck you

just crit elio with liquidation

[long oyster]

Yeah that can happen

[atomic rain]

oh my fucking god

crit water pulse and confusion

it confused again

[long oyster]

Yeah this game mode is a rng-fest

[lunar loom]

@onyx crystal Can you add my score please
I'm throwing in the towel I tried getting more points out of Marlon before posting but evasion is not my friend

[sturdy glen]

@onyx crystal @chilly flame @forest panther @magic sandal

[tranquil blaze]

How am I supposed to get all the rewards should I EX a unit or????

[sturdy glen]

[tranquil blaze]

The pins aren't much help tbh

[sturdy glen]

Why?

[tranquil blaze]

It just telling me what units are good for certain stages doesn't do much in terms of teams, as so and so units might not work together but their both good for a certain stage

Tbh im surprised that there's not like a doc like w/ EBE's for clears to help ppl who are struggling

[ornate turret]

• you're won't make any progress if you're waiting for people to build 5 specific teams for you
• treat it like CS, build 5 teams base on the special condition of each battle (like round parameter in CS)
• if you can't come up with a team just copy from any of the clear and find an alternative for the one you don't have, since you don't aim for high score like them you can easily replace those limited units with other units (same role, tech, defense debuff...)
• start with low strength (100-150) and see if you can beat them, then increase the point, if you struggle at any point, consider changing a team member or ex your units

[sturdy glen]

Literally look at all the people listed in the pins, because they posted their teams

[rigid steppe]

How are these teams?

Might replace Misty with TL Adaman

for Archie

[tranquil blaze]

Bc their doing high score they literally have like all their units EXed and I cannot do that

[ornate turret]

did you not read any of that, start with low strength, see if you can beat them without ex

[long oyster]

You're aiming for rewards, you dont have to optimize as much as people aiming for top 100

Doesnt mean their teams wont work

[ornate turret]

take this one for expample, the archie team didn't use any limited unit, they set 500 str, you can just set 150

or in the misty battle you need to use rain, they used archie so you replace him with your May...

[cyan tusk]

I’ve also attached full sync grids somewhere

And lucky skills

Oh, here

https://discord.com/channels/583120259708616715/1131333081870118982

[spark storm]

@onyx crystal 👆

[cyan tusk]

And also little update on the total score, got higher on nessa without changing the strength

[spark storm]

I'm happy I have now one stage with a bit more points than you

[chilly flame]

[forest panther]

bro this one is amazing 😍

[rigid steppe]

What’s the lowest score for top 10k rn?

I haven’t beaten it yet so I can’t check

[true sparrow]

here

[rigid steppe]

Ty

Last thing, which water seems best to ex for the event?

[spark storm]

Depends who you have already but I would say Lana Kris and Barry

[rigid steppe]

Here’s all my waters

Alr

If I did the Lana/Kris/Crasher Wake run would it make sense to ex Lana or kris first

For Archie

[spark storm]

Kris I think, sides are a big treat in this event

[rigid steppe]

Thanks

[earnest fulcrum]

So we can't beat Marlon without Serena

[true sparrow]

yes you can

[earnest fulcrum]

I've been trying with May 5/5 and Dojo Gloria 1/5

[true sparrow]

.

using Gloria with may there is a bit wasteful, I recommend slotting gloria in another team

[rigid steppe]

How many rain weather setters do you have?

You might need to save may for Misty

[earnest fulcrum]

Not in the same team but I've been switching them, the team is Elio 5/5 ex | May/Gloria | Swimsuit Misty 5/5 ex

[true sparrow]

elio, may and sw misty should be more than fine

[earnest fulcrum]

I get washed after Marlon's first sync

[true sparrow]

do you have rain up during his sync?

[earnest fulcrum]

350 strength btw

i guess

[true sparrow]

you will need to time your rain, he has water moves and sync, if you don't pay attention to that you're gonna increase his dmg a lot

[earnest fulcrum]

yeah I never thought of that but then May won't do much damage without the rain

[true sparrow]

well you will still have rain, just make sure to not have it up during his sync at least. Like if you set right after your 1st sync, you should have rain up for most of the time and not have him sync on it. You can delay his sync considerably using Elio's Sleep.

unfortunately I cannot reset my own team to show you

[earnest fulcrum]

I set the rain before my first sync and I think he benefits from it, so if I wait after my first sync it will definitely be there for his sync

[true sparrow]

if you can record your run I can check what you might be able to improve

[onyx crystal]

udapted

[onyx crystal]

I'd examine some of the teams in top 100 and top 500 for a basis.
May vs Misty is a good choice.
vLyra or ssMisty is a good choice for Marlon.
Use Siebold, Nessa, or ssGrimsley as the main dd against Lana or Nessa.
Kris or ssGrimsley is good choice for Archie.

Misty (Starmie) good for buffing sp def vs Misty.
Misty (Psyduck) is good for any stage.
Elio is great against anyone prefers a stage he can sleep chain (everyone but Misty)
Crasher Wake is good for flinching any stage (sans Misty)
Lana is good vs Archie.

Try to supplement the teams accordingly.

[sage dawn]

Who could i use against Misty? I thought Barry may and.starmie could beat lvl 300

[onyx crystal]

Barry is typically played alongside Eusine or Archie to be the sync nuke for the team.

I'm trying to think who you should use alongside barry.

who is the support in the team? And what do the other 4 teams look like?

[sage dawn]

I am still thinking about the other teams

Tbh i am really Bad making strategies so it takes me a while

I have been trying to look some teams i can copy

[onyx crystal]

If you just want the rewards, you don't need to do 300 strength.

[sage dawn]

I would like to get the medal

[onyx crystal]

But you have a pretty good ex'd water roster if you wanted to push high.

[sage dawn]

It's only one medal or there are more?

[long oyster]

One

So if you get it now you wont have to try hard the next events

[sage dawn]

I would like it now because water is probably My Best element

[long oyster]

But yeah your roster is pretty good you can reach pretty high scores

[sage dawn]

Would 200000 be enough for the medal?

[long oyster]

No

But you can start small

Get the rewards first

And reset step by step

[sage dawn]

When i reset i have To do all the 5 stages again?

[onyx crystal]

make 5 team slots:
Barry + Starmie + May (Swampert)
Serena + Elio + Adaman/SwimMisty
ssGrimsley + Nessa + Hilbert (don't use Grimsley's TM)
SS Lysandre + ssBlue/Adaman + (tech Blastoise if available)
Kris + Lana + Crasher Wake (or Tech Gyarados if available)

[onyx crystal]

Unlike the Champion Stadium, you can reset each stage individually and you can do them in any order.

[sage dawn]

Oh that's great thank you guys

[long oyster]

Sages do you happen to have footage of that Lana team

Cuz my SS Grimsley isnt doing too good

[onyx crystal]

#1100102557109588099 message (this is without exLana, if you have her EX, sync with Lana first)

oh do you mean VS Lana?

[long oyster]

Yes

[onyx crystal]

I don't have a video of ssGrimsley. He's not in top teams.

[long oyster]

I see

Thx anyway

[onyx crystal]

(at least the top ones that I know of)

[fresh sapphire]

Wait high strength but so low scores

[long oyster]

?

That score looks fine

[fresh sapphire]

It looks low

[long oyster]

Only archie looks low and thats because of Bede

[onyx crystal]

https://youtu.be/ywWEaXHPUoY This one opted to use Grimsley vs Misty and Barry vs Lana. But it's a semi-f2p run.

[long oyster]

I'll check it out

Thx again

[chilly flame]

The squad

[nova anchor]

might try a diff.team this weekend. if I have a free time lmao.

I've updated the link XD

[long oyster]

I lied.

I could probably squeeze another 10k on Lana but I really dont wanna

Headaches too strong

[sage dawn]

How much power has the lana stage?

[long oyster]

250

Everybody else is 500

[sage dawn]

Wow i barely could Marlon at 400

[onyx crystal]

vs Misty: 600
vs Marlon: 610
vs Lana: 450
vs Nessa: 510
vs Archie: 460
Improved Nessa Score. Rank 44. :3

[rigid steppe]

Revised my teams using the docs, how do they look?

Archie is 1/5 is it worth raising to 3/5?

[onyx crystal]

If you're just aiming for master rank, I wouldn't candy.

[rigid steppe]

Ok ty

As long as I’m top 10k Im content

[onyx crystal]

the teams look good.Main issue I see is the Misty team, lacking additional rain and ssmisty having no offensive support.

you might not be able to push a high strength level with that team

see how 300 goes and adjust accordingly

[bright river]

I did use candy on my Archie as I felt he was pretty underpowered without his grid.

Primals when?

[rigid steppe]

fr lol

it might be smart of me to 3/5 archie since he will mostly carry misty

but ill see how it goes ig

do you guys have any reccomended strengths for each battle?

probably just 300 and inch higher

[true sparrow]

it's not smart, his grid is not good and will be wasted

[onyx crystal]

He's really underpowered compared to more modern water-types.

[rigid steppe]

alr

[onyx crystal]

I think 300 will be pretty tough for 1/5 archie.

[amber warren]

so 210k is the minimal now

[bright river]

it's better than nothing...

[amber warren]

this is the end for me no more flinch or sleep return to normal

Rank 2500

[rigid steppe]

First one completed! Couldn’t get confusion sadly but I’m happy how it turned out though

(400 strength)

[sour ferry]

Got rank 4733 with a blind run. Don't wanna reset tbh. I hope I remain in the master rank.

[nova anchor]

free upg. one day just like leon treatment.

[lilac vine]

i have yet to do mine💀 glad to know 243k is at 4k+. Meaning 10k spot isnt that hard to achieve after all

[cyan tusk]

For now

[haughty haven]

Bicio: Challenge accepted

[grand perch]

Huh back to below 3k

[spark storm]

I was expecting you to say that lmao

@onyx crystal finally managed to push to 360k
Misty 700
Marlon 600
Lana 400
Nessa 600
Archie 500

[knotty dew]

Current best, at 2300 atm so will be fine

[maiden canopy]

No eggmon Blastoise and/or Gyarados?

[spark storm]

I do have both, but don't think they can improve any of the teams here

[rough forum]

@onyx crystal what pulling 2/5 dojoglo off a daily does to a mf

550
700
450
370
430

Aggravation 1 + SDE2 close combat = extra 3700 points

[glacial helm]

Bro I'm tired of Misty using blizzard and freezing my SS Blue 90% of the time

[drifting igloo]

Which team should I use on which stage

[rough forum]

May is good for misty
The Kris one seems good for Archie
Nessa one is probably ok for Lana
Barry probably for Nessa

[forest ferry]

Hmmm I'd just rework some of those teams entirely

And run like 2 teams of 1 offtype, 2 water

Also do you have tech blastoise and gyarados?

[knotty dew]

Elio can be gridded to set up Barry's nuke I think

You can't confuse Misty but generally want the free 3000 for confusing

[drifting igloo]

I have both

[brave yoke]

Is the last team the Galar NCs?

[drifting igloo]

Yes

[drifting igloo]

Nvm only have Blastoise

[knotty dew]

I use tech starmie instead of Lodge Silver on the last team for Archie

[forest ferry]

That Barry doesn't look like ex

[knotty dew]

Idk mine is still 4*

[forest ferry]

Can you share your water units in unit tab instead of teams?

Can't figure out which ones are at which potential

Other than the obvious EX units

[forest ferry]

Hmmmm
Can you also share your ex supports and do you have stuff like 3/5 SSTred or adaman?

[forest ferry]

Can do
Siebold, ssblue, ssgrims for Lana
Kris, wake, Lana for Archie

[drifting igloo]

Of the two you mentioned I have neither

I don't have thunderbolt red or adaman

[forest ferry]

I meant as in
Busted self sufficient DPSes

[drifting igloo]

I have CMarnie

[forest ferry]

I see SsBrendan so
SsBrendan, may and lmay for misty

[drifting igloo]

I also have SS Lusamine and SS Serena

[forest ferry]

Eh those 2 won't be as strong

Carnie can take Nessa ig
With 2 water units

Hmmm only left is Marlon

He has evasion post sync so better to shove in SSmisty for that....can you ex any of em?

Like preferably Barry or Nessa

[drifting igloo]

I don't have any 5star power ups

[forest ferry]

Hmmm

May, lmay, SsBrendan for misty
Elio, SSmisty, Nessa for Marlon
Siebold, wake/ssgrims,ssblue for lana
Carnie, Smisty and Barry for Nessa
Kris, hilbert, lana for Archie

Smth like that

Marlon run might be rough due to lack of ex on Nessa

Adjust your scores and pray for good flinch rng for Lana and Archie runs

[drifting igloo]

Thanks for the advice

[forest ferry]

And try to bump up strength as much as possible for misty and nessa

Since you are running overpowered stuff

[knotty dew]

What eggmons do you have

[drifting igloo]

What strength would you recommend

[rough forum]

Misty with a decent swampert team is easily 500

[drifting igloo]

Update: struggling against nessa and misty, haven't tried Marlon, beaten Lana and Archie

[onyx crystal]

bruh what is that Marlon Score

[onyx crystal]

Is your aim to get just the rewards or end in Master Rank? Because doing stages at over 300 strength is going to require resetting for bad rng.

[drifting igloo]

Just rewards

[ocean warren]

for just rewards you only need 160-230 STR

check all the various teams pinned in this channel for templates

and lower STR accordingly

for misty you can use your own misty & starmie for the spdef buffs

for nessa, she wants def buffs

[bright river]

Hi

[onyx crystal]

Once you go beyond 300 strength, you have to pay attention to the move order and see if you can either do denials via flinch/sleep or do a KO denial.
So if you're struggling you may need to just lower the strength and take note of the enemy's actions. A lot of trial and error is involved when you're playing for high strength.

[bright river]

Only a few days left

Until this is over

[sage galleon]

Oh no, I'm about to get kicked out of Master

[bright river]

Fr?

[sage galleon]

Master is 10k right?

I'm at 9,100

[bright river]

Top 10k yeah

[bright river]

Big oof

Just

[onyx crystal]

Why not see if there's a stage you can improve?

[sage galleon]

That's what I'm trying to do

[spark storm]

I think you need some replaning, Kris is better on Archie, Archie on Misty, glojo on Lana...

[onyx crystal]

Oh, wow you have a lot ex's. I think if you shuffled almost every team you'd go higher.

[spark storm]

That's like a 350k+ roaster

[jaunty trail]

Is Misty even possible at 300+ without Archie?

I got a bit stuck at the moment.

[onyx crystal]

Runner did ssMisty + Eusine + ssKris for a really high 77k score

[jaunty trail]

Damn. No SS Kris nor Eusine.

[sage galleon]

No Eusine

[jaunty trail]

The only DPS I have is EX May, Lodge Rosa and Nessa.
Possibly EX SS Grimsley if push comes to shove.

[onyx crystal]

May's probably your best bet, she's also typically used vs Marlon (if you lack Serena), or vs Lana/Nessa.

[jaunty trail]

I'm already done with Marlon, Lana and Archie.

Juuuust Nessa and Misty left.

[onyx crystal]

this is what I've typically observed from the top teams

[jaunty trail]

Each one of the team I either lack one or already used though, oof.
Maybe I should reset Lana's stage to free up Archie, Glojo and SS Blue.

[onyx crystal]

there are too many permutations to list out, I've seen psyduck and adaman on the same team

[sage galleon]

Oh, I should probably switch out Strike Dos for Tech

[fresh sapphire]

Yeah EX Grimsley or Barry

Plus May as a rain setter if she's free

[onyx crystal]

You honestly could reset all 5 stages and redo all the teams.

[fresh sapphire]

Yeah you save the highest score anyways

[sage galleon]

I might just do that just with shuffling the teams and some small changes

[jaunty trail]

Might EX Grimsley at this rate. I just want to break the 300k barrier.

[onyx crystal]

Archie + Wailmer + ssKris on Misty
Adaman + May on Marlon
Hilbert + Gloria on Lana
Lysandre + ssBlue on Nessa
Kris + Lana on Archie

Idt using the eggs is as nessary especially if they're unpromoted.

[jaunty trail]

I just need like 53k per stage to breach that barrier at this rate.

Is it possible to use only 2x water types and an off type to achieve that?

[chilly flame]

[fresh sapphire]

I saw a SST Red clear with 2 water getting 58k

But very high strength

So possible very harsh flinch rng

[jagged eagle]

I'd like to thank for all the tips pinned in here!
Never thought I could reach this score and I'm still figuring out how to optimize more without losing more sanity

[rough forum]

Cerena at 1/5 be like:

[rough forum]

May + sskris easy 500-550

Without sskris it's down to 400

[rough forum]

Seriously tho, I still need to see a clear at 700 str

That's 9+ minutes

As far as I know nobody else got this far

[jaunty trail]

No SS Kris, but it does look possible. A lot of RNG needed though...

[chilly flame]

Why can’t lodge Adaman raise crit

[jaunty trail]

Currently trying to make SS Misty, Lodge Adaman and May work.

[rough forum]

The biggest issue of no sskris is the fact basically no water type gives +spa + crit

[jaunty trail]

One run almost needed a Muddy Water to land.

[rough forum]

I think I saw someone using support(?) Egg seadra

For may support

Not sure what it does

Anyway, if I get a third dojo Glo I might break 360-65k

But for now I'm waiting til the 24th to candy her

[chilly flame]

Not sure what it does either

When it doubt

[rough forum]

It's just spa and speed?

Ew

[chilly flame]

No crit

[sage galleon]

Big difference from my first one

don't know how some of y'all got 600 Strength, but I digress

[mortal timber]

Mostly luck tbh

Praying to have misty using ice beam

Instead of the mighty blizzard

[sage galleon]

Good ol' RNGesus

[mortal timber]

For real

My lysandre clear is standing up just because of a self confusion hit of a side at the end

It's that amount of rng

[atomic rain]

lodge rosa is better for nessa than lodge may right

[haughty haven]

I dont think lodge May will ever survive

[rough forum]

Yeah I stopped at 550 because more than that without Archie is suicidal

[fresh sapphire]

Lodge May gets a hard check because all her multipliers are just super effective

[rough forum]

Lodge may sucks for this event

And in general tbfh

Rosa has guaranteed Def drop, great dps, ok nuke

And is pretty self sufficient

[atomic rain]

i just resorted to ss steven cuz she kept dying to eq

ill probably redo her fight

but i just wanted gems lol

[onyx crystal]

Lodge May's defenses emulate that of a balloon.

[atomic rain]

joy

so basically shes literally the worst possible option for nessa cuz of eq spam

[onyx crystal]

uh if Nessa's team queues EQ or Swift pre-sync I just reset 🫠

[rough forum]

She's probably the worst possible choice for like

Every stage aside misty?

[atomic rain]

i just did it with ss steven

[warm kayak]

Sages, a question, can I somehow copy the images from your doc into mine?

[atomic rain]

tbh i could probably do 300 with him cuz hes that stupid

[warm kayak]

wanted to archive my own runs

[onyx crystal]

the icons are available in #1006618823123800106

[warm kayak]

are the images for Misty, Marlon etc also there?

[onyx crystal]

the vs models are on bulbapedia

[atomic rain]

she queued eq with like 3% hp left

but yeah 300 str steven def possible just need ok rng to not get eq’d twice in a row post sync

[onyx crystal]

https://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?search=pokemon+masters+vsmisty&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=images&fulltext=1

[onyx crystal]

on Nessa you just pray that EQ never comes up :X

[warm kayak]

yeah, found them, thanks

[long oyster]

EQ or Razor Shell

[atomic rain]

well ss steven has protect so one isnt bad

two post sync is just killer

[long oyster]

700 dmg on SSB turn 1 is wild

[rough forum]

700 str Marlon doing 590 hp to +4 Def ssb

[long oyster]

700str

[atomic rain]

dude 250 str marlon almost one shots a 135 non ex elio this event is hard 💀

[forest ferry]

It's literally 0 flinch run

Only reset condition is potion

Run full nuke run with kekwalk and SS3 and pray Marlon doesn't buff too much

3/5 SSTred caps at 695 str for that

Flinch is worse if anything coz you drop kekwalk setup for that

Also
If you can run another gauge friendly self sufficient dps(like eusine) you can potentially go higher strength

[rough forum]

Especially since eusine flinches

[forest ferry]

Ye, eusine is like ideal unit

For such run

But also a wasted unit
Coz you can likely get higher pts with another water with him

I think adaman can also do high score offtype

Since she's as much self sufficient as SSTred

[sage galleon]

had to go to 350

[sage galleon]

Transfem Adaman

[jaunty trail]

I've been trying to beat Misty for like over 2 hours now.

I've gotten so close so many times, I might give up

[mortal timber]

Don’t, I am cheering for you

[jaunty trail]

[atomic rain]

do you not have archie

[jaunty trail]

I already used Archie for Lana.

[atomic rain]

mm not my first choice

razor shell is pretty rough

[jaunty trail]

The team I'm fielding for Misty is very RNG dependent.
I need like a least 2 crits from a +2 crit May, the enemy not to use Sp. Defense All+, no status/crit at all, the enemy not to use a physical move turn one, Rain Dance MPR at least twice, Defense Crush 2/Muddy Water debuff procing a few times.

[atomic rain]

what i did on lana was kris hilbert and ss blue but thats an inefficient use

[atomic rain]

well may has dire rain 1

which essentially functions as another crit buff in rain

so try gridding for that

[jaunty trail]

Inch resting

[worldly parcel]

Dire Rain 2

Critical hits land more easily when the user's attack move is used while the weather is rainy.

Sync Pairs with Passive:

Lance (New Year's 2021) & Gyarados

If you like the bot, consider becoming a Patron: https://patreon.com/PoryphoneBot

[jaunty trail]

It's on the other side of the grid and I have to give up OaR and a sync damage node

[atomic rain]

well then i guess thats not viable then

unfortunate

tbh if you’re just trying to 180k you can use a special attack support like ss brendan

[jaunty trail]

I'll try the dire rain stuff first

Maybe it can cancel out

[knotty dew]

It doesn't work on sync btw

[jaunty trail]

There goes that plan.

[cosmic creek]

I'm still in top 1k. I feel safe now

[atomic rain]

oh you need sync to crit

yeah dire rain aint doing shit lol

[mortal timber]

I tried it too, realized that sync doesn't work, back to cope with mpr

[jaunty trail]

I modified a little of the usual grid I did, replacing the sp. atk raise with the trainer MPR.

In eliminating the crit, I now worry yet another MPR.

[atomic rain]

oh yeah inclement intellect probably not as useful here

tm mpr is probably better

[jaunty trail]

Lodge Adaman already maxed May's sp. attack anyways.

[atomic rain]

personally i would just do something different for lana and use archie and may

cuz its another dps unit and it lessens the strain for mpr cuz of the extension

[mortal timber]

I went power reserves 4 if you know that after sync may gets to red hp

[jaunty trail]

Lana's stage was hell...

But not as hell as Misty and Marlon I suppose

[atomic rain]

lana stage was so cancer

i got flinched like 10 different times crit like 8 times and then one time she got a crit flinch

and icicle crash -> razor shell was a reset

cuz hilbert needed to get 3 turns in

[jaunty trail]

I suppose I could substitute Archie in with May. Maybe there's less MPR to worry about in Lana's stage.

[atomic rain]

lana’s stage is just praying she doesnt queue icicle crash and razor shell back to back

cuz that absolutely shreds your tank

and no healing

so once it happens it happens

and she has tough cookie and towering force

:)

[forest ferry]

You forgot hydro pump and liquidation as well

I don't run flinch for Lana
Instead just pray she either buffs or uses ice beam

[mellow thistle]

I need help choosing rounds

[atomic rain]

you can check pins for teams

substitute with your own units

[mellow thistle]

1. Elio, Barry ex , Marlon
2. Hilbertex, Nessa, TechSquirtle
3. Ssblue ex, May ex, Wallace
4. Misty, Cerena 1/5, SumGloria
5. Lana, Kris ex, Tech gyarqdos

I think I'll have to replace sum Gloria with a tech but they're gonna be much worse

[cyan tusk]

1 stage is mainly special so you can save marlon for another stage

And stage 4 is physical so misty will have a hard time

Maybe swap them

[true sparrow]

only team I wouldn't change is archie

[mellow thistle]

Oh I hadn't assigned them uet

[cyan tusk]

Oh ok

[true sparrow]

remove wallace while you're at it

[mellow thistle]

But yeah team 5 is mostly for archie

[mellow thistle]

Brine is supposed to be decent dps🫠

Barry for nessa

Nessa for Lana

[atomic rain]

brine is terrible

[atomic rain]

hes trying to use mirror coat but like his regular dps is so ass i wouldnt even bother

[mellow thistle]

I could use Cyrus

[true sparrow]

brine is not bad once he gets to half hp, but only having him be useful by then is a waste

[cyan tusk]

Wallace is bad for this event bc his nuke is trash and his dps can’t keep up with the strength needed

He’s not event confusing or being a main character so no additional points

If you have any other water dps run it with May and SSBlue bc their gauge is ok so you can afford a 2nd dps for dual striking

[true sparrow]

since c serena should go to marlon, you can put gloria in may's team instead of wallace

[rough forum]

Stages also hit too hard and too AoE for him to survive enough through recup 2 and sterner stuff 2

[atomic rain]

i thought brine was target’s hp

[true sparrow]

it is

[atomic rain]

oh does he have like pr5 or smth

[true sparrow]

no

[rigid steppe]

Can someone share a good team that uses Ash / SST Red for Misty?

I’ve seen some get a 50k + score with that kind of team and it seems like my only option lol

[true sparrow]

ash, misty and anyone with rain

[rigid steppe]

Which Misty lol

I’m guessing swimsuit?

[true sparrow]

Base

But sw also works

[rigid steppe]

Ight

Ty

What strength do you reccomend

Just completed 300 and got only 33k

[rough forum]

With Ash you'd probably want at least 400

[rigid steppe]

Gotcha

[rough forum]

Because at that point going 250 with 3 waters would've been better

[rigid steppe]

Yeah lol

Dang even when I did 450 I got this score

[rough forum]

Yeah 2 waters is very much weaker for points

Only do it if you're fully out

[rigid steppe]

Any improvements to the Lana team? (It’s my last one)

[rigid steppe]

I pretty much am lol

[rough forum]

I could've done Nessa with 2 waters probably but I doubt I would've hit more than 45k

I used to have a lana clear with chop over dojoglo at 40k, it was basically impossible to go over 45k there too

I used to have dojoglo on Archie but subbed her out because lower str without chop but 3 waters was way better

[rigid steppe]

I don’t have dojo Gloria

Ngl as long as I’m too 10k I’m content

Not really aiming for the higher ups

[rough forum]

Maybe a lodge Rosa DPS grid over wake if you want less RNG

She's very strong once you're at -4 or more defence

[main shale]

So I haven't started the event yet

But are there any recommended tactics?

Like should I use as much water-types in my team (like 3 in one team) or divide them across as many teams as I can (1 water across multiple teams)

[long oyster]

Imma have to grind another 5k aren't I

[forest ferry]

As many water units as possible

But if your water units are too weak, you can bring 1 busted non water unit and tweak str

[long oyster]

Only go off-type if you are out of water units

Lower strength with 3 water is better than higher strength with 2

[forest ferry]

Depends on how good the water units themselves are

[long oyster]

Wallace doesnt count

[forest ferry]

looks at SSTred, aura cyn, SsBrendan etc

[main shale]

My question was mostly like, if I have 9 water types for example, should I send in 9 teams with 1 water type each or like 3 teams with 3 water types each

[forest ferry]

You mean 15

[main shale]

To make the most of the score

[long oyster]

Its 5 teams

[forest ferry]

Yes
You need 15 water units

[long oyster]

1 team per fight

[main shale]

Wait

It's not like Legendary Gauntlet where I have as many fights as I can do?

It's capped at 15?

[long oyster]

Nope

[forest ferry]

It's 5 teams

[main shale]

Oh okay

[forest ferry]

Did you open the event yet?

[long oyster]

5 fights that you can reset at will

[main shale]

I opened it but haven't tried it

I got gauntlet vibes from it

But okay I got it then

So as many water types as possible definitely makes most sense then

If it's just 5 fights lol

For some reason I was under the impression after I fought the 5, they would 'reset' gauntlet style and let me clear the 5 again in w/e order and keep going until I ran out of units

But yeah seems like that's not the case

[long oyster]

Would've been too chaotic for the points system

[tiny ore]

Would be a pain in the ass too

imagine getting the perfect archie run and having to reset it bc you fucked up lana and misty

[rough forum]

3 waters

Always

Unless you've ran out completely

It's better to do 3 waters 250 str than 2 waters 370 str

You need to possibly use at least 12-13 waters

Pinged post has a ton of recommendations

You should aim for 250k points

[urban reef]

Not having SS Kris , Eusine , Jojoria and Archie is such a pain

[tiny ore]

also tech blaztoise can give you a extra 6k on one clear

[rough forum]

I mean lyss and cerena can still carry

[tiny ore]

I managed to make 250k l w/ archie and ss blue as my only limited units

You can def make genpool EX units work btw

yes even ss grimsley

he can put in work vs archie and even nessa

ex kris and nessa also good options

[drifting igloo]

Think I could've done better?

[tiny ore]

Might be able to swap out chop?

[carmine cedar]

I'm curious how much you drop from the ranking in 24 hours or so so I can at least know the cut off

[tiny ore]

Idk what to swap him out for bc idk about your options

[drifting igloo]

I have nessa but she isn't exd

[forest ferry]

Ditch sycamore for another tank

Don't you have Smisty

[drifting igloo]

Yes but she isn't EXd

[long oyster]

Swimisty wont work

[forest ferry]

Just lower the strength and just nuke with chop from start

[long oyster]

SS Misty will have 0 buffs

[forest ferry]

?

Why does SSmisty need buffs

[long oyster]

She's the nuker

[forest ferry]

All she's there is to haze atk before sync and evasion post sync

No

Chop is

[long oyster]

🤔

[tiny ore]

her nuke isnt terrible if you can give her buffs tbh

[long oyster]

Her nuke is what makes Marlon manageable without Cerena/May

[forest ferry]

No lol

Her setup is shit

Literally 0 offensive buffs

And water supports aren't that great excellent at it other than sskris who is just better vs misty

[tiny ore]

I can see ss blue + ss misty working?

[forest ferry]

Yea but blue getting hit 6 times for that setup

[chilly flame]

Burn damage ftw

[forest ferry]

Good luck going through that in this event

[chilly flame]

Wait I didn’t get confusion

[tiny ore]

not gonna go for the ex support sync?

[drifting igloo]

I literally said "2 crits in a row and this run is fucked" and SS misty came in clutch with shifty striker

[forest ferry]

Also your rather throw blue vs lana or Nessa

Marlon's pre sync damage isn't that high
Like Smisty can tank 550 str post sync very comfortably

[long oyster]

Fair point

[main shale]

What's a good base score to stay in Master rank

[forest ferry]

Well it's climbing as time goes

As of now 210kish is like 10k rank

[tiny ore]

I'm at 256k points and at 3-3.5k rank rn

I don't think I'm dropping any time soon

I think a lot of people hit their limit way before 250k

[carmine cedar]

^

U need more limited units lmao. There may be more pushing at last day tho cuz of CS for EX

There's f2p build for 220k apparently but it need omega luck

[main shale]

So as a frame of reference

For the individual fights

What's a good benchmark for the strength increase

If I want to hit like 50k per fight

[forest ferry]

650 str Lana

I think I can go higher but I'll do it later

[muted tundra]

What do people suggest? I don't think I can ever get Master, I'm terrible at long battles.

Haven't touched the event yet

[tiny ore]

tbh you might as well go for the base rewards

the medal is a bonus

[tiny ore]

those kinds of comps also want lots of ex units

the extra bulk and dmg help a lot

i hit 250k w/ just archie and ss blue for limited but most of my units are ex due to being a LG player making that my priority

[muted tundra]

So what should I use on each stage? I do have Eggmons obviously.

[tiny ore]

only really useful eggmons this time are the rain ones

unfortunately

[muted tundra]

Honestly I have no idea what to do here.

[tiny ore]

ex kris puts in work vs archie

[muted tundra]

I know I need Water types

[onyx crystal]

have you seen the pinned grading sheet, there's a tab, it rates each unit and also has tab for recommended groups

[warm kayak]

finally done!

[wicked saffron]

Help me with team building guys . I did misty and got 44k score but that's about it.. I tried many times for 200 strenght points... I just want to get those rewards till 180k score

I reset now since I want to start fresh

[carmine cedar]

It looks like there's been a slight uptick in activity for ranking, perhaps because of people trying to squeeze as much gems into water banner, yesterday event

[warm kayak]

i feel 100% safe

[carmine cedar]

how many points

[warm kayak]

322k

[carmine cedar]

100% safe

I am still a little anxious, but my rank drop is not too sharp thankfully

still need to check out the last days though

[tiny ore]

if necessary i can push another 25k but i really don't feel like dealing w/ rng

[drifting igloo]

That Marlon score wtf

[sour ferry]

[atomic rain]

redid archie and finally got 180k

god this event was fun and simultaneously ass

[tiny ore]

the rng is the worst

[atomic rain]

LANA RNG WAS SO HORRIBLE

I SWEAR TO GOD SHE HAD AGGRAVATION ON ICICLE CRASH

[stray dust]

Heh lana rng

[tiny ore]

misty has a secret HE

[atomic rain]

Video up in a bit

[muted tundra]

I'm in for now

[rancid niche]

what lucky skill do I give my 5* tech garyados.
I’m doing Cerena / Lodge Adaman / Techdos vs Marlon

edit: if anyone’s wondering I just did it w/ revenge boost 4 but I don’t think it mattered (accuracy debuffs meant techdos barely got hit outside of sync)

[muted tundra]

Upped it to 222,879 Points, putting me to an even Master 8,500 for now.

[spark storm]

So this means I reached my goal of making you try harder

[long oyster]

It took me 20 minutes to push Lana to 350 with lodge Rosa.
I tried it for 6 hours with wake and couldn't get it.
Wtf.

[rough forum]

Defence debuffs do give a huge edge

[round stone]

is there a better, more accessible lana team that doesn't require SSGrimsley EX?

[long oyster]

No idea

[round stone]

or most limiteds

crap

[long oyster]

But Lana is a real pain

You can just neglect her and put her at a lower str

At 350 I needed those EX Striker Syncs for real

[round stone]

@true sparrow could I have your lana team specs? (hilbert, nessa, crasher wake)
forgive me if I asked already...

@chilly flame Marlon team specs?

[chilly flame]

I think I gave you those already

[mortal timber]

Remember when I typed that there was no way to improve?
Guess what, I lied
Improved Lana!

Misty: 580 strength
Marlon: 400 strength
Lana: 440 strength
Nessa: 564 strength
Archie: 580 strength

@onyx crystal

[cyan tusk]

Well I’m trying all the runs harder actually lmao

[carmine cedar]

Ash fan, W

FR though tomorrow is probably when cut off is 220. Let me know your rank tomorrow so I can make a prediction

[round stone]

where..? I can't find them from Discord's search bar found it

[carmine cedar]

220k*

[muted tundra]

I've upped the score since. I think about 7500 or something

Rank I mean

[carmine cedar]

Well it's best to get into 6000 cuz I imagine they will fight for the 10000-6001 in last day if not 10000-5000

[sturdy glen]

IS THAT A MF LEG UP 1?

[muted tundra]

I can improve the Lana battle. Opted to use SST Red

[carmine cedar]

Good idea. As long as you don't surpass me. /j

Who did ya use? I could give pointers

[rough forum]

Yeah leg up fishing does wonders in some cases

[sturdy glen]

Considering the mental health cost, i don’t think so

[cyan tusk]

It may be

Better than giving hs1 to Archie or Eusine

[sturdy glen]

At this point eusine tm mpr has a better chance to proc

And it’s also in a good place

[cyan tusk]

Propulsion 9 doesn’t activate unless the condition nullification effect is gone

Which means I cannot spam it to skip a whole sync turn

[sturdy glen]

Fuuuuu…

[cyan tusk]

Which is crucial to start adding up damage

@onyx crystal updated points, already updated them in che clears section

[young stone]

Gonna go for the rewards
Now I know why ppl hate prestige

Vs Misty

Don’t know what team I should use

[onyx crystal]

[onyx crystal]

[mortal timber]

ty buddy

[chilly flame]

Sages I’m coming for that rank boi

[onyx crystal]

[mortal timber]

[round stone]

Got a solid 600 points on misty

how do people do elio, cserena, marlon on marlon? I don't get how you live after the opponent's first sync

[chilly flame]

Mix of defense buffs from Marlon and attack drops from Cerena

If enemy Marlon is at +1 or +2 I’m pretty sure your Marlon is gonna die

I know that happened during my runs

[round stone]

spam water shuriken? I assumed that you'd want to fish for confusion so you don't have to worry about it later

[chilly flame]

You wanna start with brutal swing just get them to -1, confusion is just a bonus if you get it at the start

Your gonna eventually be spamming it to get them to -6

[sturdy glen]

Confusion is unironically an extra chance of stopping sides
Actually worthy for higher points

[chilly flame]

For sure

Im just saying that if you don’t get confusion turn 1, it’s not something you need to reset for

[rough forum]

@onyx crystal my points are still at 351k in the pin

[onyx crystal]

fixed

[warm kayak]

the thing I like about this event is you can really limit test your units

i'd even want to see a no type requirement version of this

[bright river]

I thought staff aren't allowed to play the game.

[chilly flame]

no no no

it's the mods that cant play

i am an admin

however for this event we gave them an exception for the purpose of bragging rights

[mortal timber]

[light star]

i hope the next master event is poison or ground

[cyan tusk]

@onyx crystal last update I swear

[long oyster]

Whats the str on that archie run ?

[round stone]

is crasher wake actually better to run for Archie? If so, specs..?

[lilac vine]

kinda less challenging tbh as the power scaling to off type in this game is way higher than mono runs.

[warm kayak]

think it could be balanced by enemies having 2x rebuff on their weakness

[cyan tusk]

https://discord.com/channels/583120259708616715/1131333081870118982

[cyan tusk]

Flinch and nuke and Lana and wake have dc2

[long oyster]

Sorry not strat

Strength

Is water guard not good enough on Lana after a certain point ?

[cyan tusk]

Link to my clear channel has all the strength and setup

[long oyster]

Oh okay mb

Thx

[long oyster]

[chilly flame]

Atrax vs denashit

The battle of the century

[long oyster]

I'm done for today but I will come for his spot

[jaunty trail]

Finally took down Misty...

Now Nessa is left

I just need 53k points

[late basalt]

Is the master medal if you place in master or if you had master at one point

If we know

Wish they told us what master 10k score was

[onyx crystal]

It's based on your rank when the event ends, not the highest point achieved.

[onyx crystal]

I've been publishing it in the daily point floor/ceiling reports. It's currently above 220,000. I'm think the twitter account will state something about the current rankings possibly on the final day.

[stark eagle]

Oof +20k in few days, it will probably trigger a race

[long oyster]

I hope they keep the leaderboard available after the fights are over

[stark eagle]

Like lg probably

[long oyster]

I might be wrong but I think the race is gonna be impactful in lower masters at best

Getting higher requires so much trial and error, I dont see it happening just on the last day

[stark eagle]

Yea, also we have a good advantage for tips and teams here and many of us already perfected their runs

[long oyster]

You never know

Maybe some Japanese people are cooking smth too

[stark eagle]

Send spies in jp servers

[long oyster]

I would but I dont understand a single word of japanese

[chilly flame]

Misty: 450
Marlon: 650
Lana: 365
Nessa: 600
Archie: 500

@onyx crystal

I am rank 50

[onyx crystal]

[chilly flame]

So top 50 is now 370k

[round stone]

I need help for marlon... what is the move order

[long oyster]

Is your Cerena 3/5

[quaint axle]

Hit 223k yet no medal 🫠

Did it increase??

[long oyster]

You wont get the medal until the event is over

[quaint axle]

OHHH okok that makes sense

[chilly flame]

I’ll try my best to go from memory:

-Brutal swing, x def all, sing on center
-water shuriken center, x def all, sing poliwrath
-water shuriken center, x def all sync with Elio
-ideally you wanna quad queue Elio TM, B Quick Attack on center, rock tomb

I didn’t mean to press send

Sorry

[long oyster]

What does quad queueing do in that scenario ?

[chilly flame]

You take 3 turns for sync instead of 4

[long oyster]

B quick attack takes care of that

[onyx crystal]

one extra turn is the difference between success & failure (at high strength)

[chilly flame]

Sorry I was in a smash bros game I worded that badly

Yea essentially it’s just one turn closer to sync

[chilly flame]

In a regular scenario it’s this

For that team it’s just a free countdown

[stray dust]

Sand toes getting higher score than me

Go touch grass

[rigid steppe]

Think I’m safe?

[chilly kayak]

ngl, you can kick Ash out of that team and get a much better score

the 10k cutoff is going up but I'd think anything above 250k is fine

[long oyster]

I see

I guess it's a free +2 sp atk for Cerena

[onyx crystal]

I wouldn't say 250k is safe considering its 220k now

[stray dust]

300k is safe

[chilly kayak]

it better be, I can't be bothered to push too hard

[stray dust]

[rigid steppe]

I don’t really have that many waters tbh

Ash is kind of a necessity

[onyx crystal]

what rank are you at 259k?

[chilly flame]

You can definelty push that Archie team was more

[rigid steppe]

2994

[long oyster]

Whats your water roster

[stray dust]

It's not the weekend yet

That is when the rankings go zoooom

[rigid steppe]

I could use Crasher wake for Lana to get the confusion bonus

I did 200 strength for Lana though

[long oyster]

Lodge Rosa helped me push Lana further than wake so idk if that would work

I had ex ss grimsley instead of nessa tho

[stray dust]

What's your marlon score

[rigid steppe]

part of why I did 200 was so I could see my ranking and that I was getting no progress lol

[rigid steppe]

62859

[stray dust]

I see a 90k+ team there

Serena elio duckmisty

Alternatively duckmisty can swap with marlon

There's video of the strat lying around if u going with it good luck

[rigid steppe]

How much rng do you think that run requires?

[long oyster]

For 90+ ?

[stray dust]

Not as punishing as most of the others

[long oyster]

Yeah

[rigid steppe]

True

If I were to push any it would be that one

or maybe Lana again

[long oyster]

You might need 2 Mistyduck TM MPR tho

[stray dust]

Lana is one of the most ass to push imo

[rigid steppe]

Lana was the last one I did lol

[long oyster]

Lana is the worst to push

[stray dust]

It requires some rng and flinch

The first hurdle requires u to deny 2 turns for a sync cycle skip

And best flinch? 60%

[long oyster]

You need to make sure your def debuffs are on point so her sync doesnt kill you

[rigid steppe]

Yeah

[stray dust]

I would always push Marlon first over everything else

[long oyster]

You also need Octillery to not do Hydro Pump

Seaking is fine tho

[stray dust]

nah there are some strats that want it to hydro pump and u dodging it

[long oyster]

Until you ko lana and he spams muddy water

That is insane

[stray dust]

Just don't touch lana really

[long oyster]

Who would do that

[rigid steppe]

I mean I might try and do like 230 Lana

[stray dust]

I did lol

[rigid steppe]

Other than that nah I’m done lol

[stray dust]

Hilbert tanking is ass

Your Misty might also be able to improve with Barry ex

But yeah farm that 28k first from marlon

[rigid steppe]

Yeah if I farm Marlon using swimsuit Misty I’d also have to reset Misty

Though I can just use regular Misty for Misty fight

Or it might make sense to lower the difficulty and use 3 waters

[stray dust]

Or use marlon with grid

Team pinpoint entry

[rigid steppe]

Yeah

Haven’t used Marlon so I could do that

[long oyster]

What strength is your misty run at rn

[stray dust]

Lol I actually can farm 13k more out of my marlon

[rigid steppe]

Lemme see

[stray dust]

But I can't be bothered

[rigid steppe]
