High Score

[forest ferry]

And it cost resetting 3 runs

[chilly flame]

First I’ve seen Adaman used in that team

Was he the first tank or was it Elio

[forest ferry]

Adaman was the tank

I synced with both elio and adaman btw

[chilly flame]

I thought so

[forest ferry]

My Nessa run with cerena also ran same strat

Marlon for some reason doesn't like to trigger MPR in my hands

And adaman doesn't need any mpr rng

[harsh pilot]

Can y'all suggest me a team for nessa

I don't have volcanion

[chilly flame]

Depends on what you have and what you’ve already used

[atomic rain]

lodge rosa gridded for insult to injury is a solid dps option

[harsh pilot]

And other ones?

[harsh pilot]

I have this

[atomic rain]

well she wants someone to top off her attack and then someone who can raise defenses would be nice

[harsh pilot]

I have used archie, sw misty, and tech blastoise

But she wiped them out after first sync

I used 300 strength parameter

[atomic rain]

uhh

try lodge rosa elio and vaporeon

[harsh pilot]

I already used ss misty

[atomic rain]

didnt you just say swimsuit

[harsh pilot]

Yes but I used misty in lana stage

[harsh pilot]

I've tried doing nessa using this but failed

[stray comet]

Which water lodge pairs should I invest in?

Which ones should I increase move levels for?

[atomic rain]

cant really answer that without knowing who

[sullen pier]

Should have posted your Water roster first so that we didnt need to guess who do you have

[stray comet]

Sorry I can't tell if you're asking for my roster or asking who im fighting

Or asking which ones i have

I haven't beaten any of them yet

[alpine crow]

her bilibili

[stray comet]

who's?

[forest ferry]

You haven't given any info

Is what taiyo meant

[alpine crow]

DeNASh!t bilibili

[stray comet]

this is my water roster.

[forest ferry]

OOF 2/5 Kris

[stray comet]

I'm thinking of getting Rosa and Dewott to 3/5 for Marlon but I'm worried I'll be wasting lodge stones that could be used for someone else.

[forest ferry]

You don't have 4* tech candies?

[stray comet]

wouldn't that be a waste?

[forest ferry]

No

You'll be overflowing in those eventually

[stray comet]

fair lmao

[alpine crow]

I think he’s no.1 collective strength?

[forest ferry]

That roster is pain.......you got any busted units?

Like strong ex supports or SSTred, adaman etc?

[stray comet]

I have Adaman

[forest ferry]

3/5?

[forest ferry]

Coz 1/5 adaman isn't anything special

[stray comet]

not currently but i can get him there

[forest ferry]

Hmmm nope
Not worth for 1 event incase you plan on saving candies for anni or smth

[stray comet]

i have 1 tech candy and 1 general 5* candy

He is a favorite but yeah

[forest ferry]

No offtype supports?

[stray comet]

this is my general roster

[forest ferry]

Like cbede, aura cyn, SsBrendan etc?

[stray comet]

Also for egg mon I have Tech Blastoise, Tech Gyarados, Tech Seaking

[forest ferry]

This roster is out of my expertise
Better to wait for someone that can do budget runs
2/5 Kris alone makes me cry

[stray comet]

rngesus hates me

[forest ferry]

You can run lyss vs Nessa atleast ig

That's a ez 50kish pts

[chilly flame]

@forest ferry can i see your grid for Adaman

I wanna make sure we’re running the same thing

[forest ferry]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/28400/13400?s=5&l=140&r=6&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFBggLDhARExQXGiUnKiwu

[forest ferry]

^This grid

[chilly flame]

Yep the same except for the fact that I had MPR on TM

But that was because I was trying him out vs Misty before

Forgot to change it

What lucky skill did you use

I’m thinking water guard

For fun

[forest ferry]

Lemme check
It's probably vigilance

Yep, it was vigilance

But water guard should be better

Not that it'd matter much with protect and endurance

[tender herald]

You can easily reach 180k but if you want to get into the top 10k then I think you need more EXs than this.
Kris EX 2/5 can easily beat Archie 250 + STR, even my Totodile hasn't evolved so you can do it.

[lean cove]

Dang it people, stop getting better scores. I got knocked down to Ultra 1 again.

Any general tips to bump up my scores some more?

[haughty haven]

You can swap Misty Team and Marlon team

Elio vs Misty very sad because he cant use sing

May vs Misty very nice because rain shut down hail

CSerena just bully Marlon

[open furnace]

Hey, wanting some help to see if I have some general ideas right here.

[sullen pier]

cries in my 2/5 Cerena

[lean cove]

Ok

[haughty haven]

1/5 good enough to bully

[open furnace]

do I really want all water sync pairs in these, for one?

And are there any good tech types to use against Marlon?

[grand perch]

If possible yes because they add a multiplier

[open furnace]

Hmm...

Should I post what water types I have again?

[lean cove]

Seems true. I was able to push my score farther with that team swap.

Now how to improve the Lana score?

[forest ferry]

Roll glojo

[open furnace]

What I have again.

[harsh pilot]

How do you do this?

[open furnace]

Sync pair tracker.

[harsh pilot]

Ok

[forest ferry]

Vs Marlon if you don't have cerena, you just use whatever left after clearing others

[open furnace]

Avoid a striker, I'd assume?

since they take penalties?

[forest ferry]

Yep

Well strikers tend to go for all other stages anyways

[open furnace]

Something like Nessa, maybe?

[harsh pilot]

But how do you separate them?

[open furnace]

(filters)

[forest ferry]

Barry, may, misty for misty
Eusine, rain egg, flinch unit for lana
Sslys, rain egg, Smisty for Nessa
Kris, Hilbert, Lana/wake for Archie

So yea
All that's left is Nessa

For Marlon stage

Marlon is very annoying if you don't have cerena, since the stage has x evasion and x atk

[harsh pilot]

These are my remaining pairs

[forest ferry]

Would rly prefer smth like SSmisty for haze or low strength to tank his sync

[harsh pilot]

Suggest team for nessa

[forest ferry]

Why didn't you run Archie vs misty?

He has thunder to take down the center

Like arguably best unit against her after sskris

[harsh pilot]

Tbh I was hoping to save him for nessa stage since I don't have volcanion so archie could destroy nessa but when I used archi, egg blastoise and sw misty they all got wiped on first sync

[forest ferry]

Well nessa's sync is water type so it makes sense

I'd reset misty and run whatever dps you used against her vs Nessa

Archie in general also frail vs eq

Which Nessa spams

-2 def spl def on TM

[haughty haven]

Noooooo, i dont to play high score anymore

[forest ferry]

Nice

Now go for rank 1

[haughty haven]

[harsh pilot]

I used barry, ss kris and lodge may against misty

Is it good against nessa?

[drifting igloo]

Anything will be good against nessa since she has no extra rule

[forest ferry]

You can run sskris, Archie, may vs misty

And run rain Barry for nessa

[haughty haven]

Now how i add ss Lysander

[forest ferry]

You can bump str harder vs misty

[harsh pilot]

Ok then thats 3 rain units, what about nessa then?

[forest ferry]

And reduce str on Nessa

[forest ferry]

Barry, techstoise/techdos, tank?

[haughty haven]

Maybe goodbye OGMisty

Idk

[forest ferry]

Move eusine to misty

And lyss for Nessa

[harsh pilot]

I don't want to reduce strength

[forest ferry]

Ez 20k pts

You increase str on misty

So it's a good trade off

[haughty haven]

Why SSLy, y come out of no where

To ruin my vacation

[forest ferry]

I mean pykuo

You rolled that banner

[harsh pilot]

I have like no tanks left

[forest ferry]

What did you expect

[haughty haven]

I want 4/5 Gloria

[forest ferry]

Lodge adaman can tank

Adaman should be fine at like 200-250 str vs Nessa

[harsh pilot]

He looks a bit frail but I'll try btw I have used may for marlon so no

[forest ferry]

Your may against misty tho?

The lodge one

[harsh pilot]

Thats lodge may

[forest ferry]

Well if you had OG may, you can gun 80k+ pts

[harsh pilot]

Well but then I had to resort to like 30k for other ones

[haughty haven]

Nooooo, i have to see this screen again

[jaunty trail]

Almost 400k

[forest ferry]

What's so bad at hitting 400k?

[cyan tusk]

C’mon come and get me

[light star]

bruh the cut off is already 220k!?

[chilly kayak]

the try-harding is real

[jaunty trail]

You underestimate the willingness a lot of people have to get bragging rights badge.

[chilly kayak]

I'm only tempted to push a bit because it'd be only once and water might be my only chance lol

[light star]

i hope 279k is enough

currently at 1950

[sullen pier]

you are probably safe

[grand perch]

3,3k rank, huh. Peeps are catching up

[rough forum]

I'm almost out of top 100

[forest ferry]

When 70k average score is borderline top 100

[rough forum]

Guess this is the limit of my not peak roster

[forest ferry]

I should redo my Lana run and remove SSTred but that's only 3k more points so idk how I feel about that

Nvm
It's only 300 pts

If I remove SSTred and run sgloria

Waste of time

[chilly kayak]

looking at what people here have been doing, I could push my teams quite a bit, but I gotta find the energy to do so

[forest ferry]

I don't have 5* wake , else I'd try

[chilly kayak]

tbh I'll only consider it if ranks go truly wild by Sunday or so

[jaunty trail]

Woah, number one is already halfway to the 500k mark.
450k+

[cyan tusk]

Yes but they capped a couple of days ago

There are really slow movements in the higher ranks

Sometimes there’s somebody that pops up at 400K but that’s it

[carmine cedar]

Did it increase a bit fast? I seem to remember someone who has 219000 points n was at 9100

I want to make a point prediction but I gotta wait a bit longer

[bright river]

4-5 more days until it's over

[carmine cedar]

Today is Friday, so 4 more days

We just had a reset 1 hr 30 min ago

[bright river]

4 more days

maybe a bit longer for the rankings to finalize

then 10k players get a badge

and those 10k players won't have to try as hard in the next high score event

[haughty haven]

1/5 SSLyn not even super good again Nessa

[cyan tusk]

Did you ex him?

Bc the AoE sync move with ss5 as innate passive makes the difference

[snow radish]

what's the medal cutoff at now, far as we can tell?

[haughty haven]

[cyan tusk]

I’ll take it as a no

[haughty haven]

Well no try hard for me

[cyan tusk]

Gimme that SSLysandre so I can reach top 5

[rough forum]

220k circa

[carmine cedar]

According to Sage it's above 220k, but last I heard, there was a guy at 9100 with 219k. Whats your point or score?

[rough forum]

Gimme that

I can raise my Nessa by 10k at least with a 1/5 ex lyss

She's my weakest stage

[haughty haven]

She’s also my weakest stage

[cyan tusk]

About not circa lol

It’s fun that the weakest stage is the one without specific rules

[rough forum]

Well you just need dojo Glo to do 55k at least on Lana

Meanwhile Nessa is rough because without lyss + 2 decent units it's hell

There's budget units for dojoglo kinda

[haughty haven]

His gauge such

[rough forum]

With lodge Rosa + nessa

[haughty haven]

I must use adaman

[rough forum]

Meanwhile there's no budget lyss

[haughty haven]

But Adaman = No heal = 1 EQ is always dead

[mortal timber]

I can finally re-assign the old lucky skills to my water types

Feels good to be done with this event haha

Tho I forgot who got what

[rough forum]

I only changed lana

To water guard

[mortal timber]

I gave water guard to a lot of funny people

In order to tank hits

Gotta re enter the doomed screen and check all the water types

Ok that was fast

Done

Bye bye water event, it has been nice

[forest ferry]

670 str vs lana

Str:
430
680
670
480
440

@onyx crystal update when you are free

I don't think I am doing this anymore unless I 5* wake or 3/5 lyss

[snow radish]

lol I'm still finishing up my first run

[muted tundra]

Getting some suggestions in here which I definitely appreciate.
I think I'm good to go (Currently Rank 4701)

[forest ferry]

Dat Lana score

[muted tundra]

Yes. Hate the stage

[forest ferry]

Also why misty so low?
Didnt use may for evasion memes?

[muted tundra]

I think I used her for another. Might want to rearrange things

[forest ferry]

Eh unless you get close to 9k rank in next 2 days, you don't have to worry much

[muted tundra]

Still though, I'm not confident on longer stages.

[forest ferry]

Better to wait and see instead of rearranging

Just pray to rngesus for more flinch

[snow radish]

wow that was excruciating

but I think I'm done

uh will take a screenshot after getting some sleep

[haughty haven]

After 3 hour, Nessa just didn’t stop EQ

[cunning shore]

Tomorrow I start reworking all my stages

Since tomorrow I will have nothing better to do

[rough forum]

Dojoglo better on lana

Probably swapping dojoglo with Nessa is enough

And maybe ssb over Kris?

With dojoglo Lana should be more affordable

Archie might instead give you trouble

With this event bulk is invaluable

Kris? Probably

It's kinda useless to prep thus much, you can do a run and see how it goes

Aim for 300-350 str

If possible

[carmine cedar]

I have high confidence after trying to track my ranking and the flow, I don't think it will drop that fast, but last day remains to be seen

[forest ferry]

Rank 7 made Nessa work vs Archie

She never proceed def drops for me when I tried

That cerena team also very interesting

[onyx crystal]

It was around 220k yesterday

[carmine cedar]

well dang

[onyx crystal]

#1128052735967764621 message

@muted tundra if you're still near that point total, can you update us on what rank you're at

[carmine cedar]

He climbed up though, now he's 245k points, still we can confirm that yesterday it wasn't 220k just close to it

[long oyster]

Hey

[muted tundra]

I've updated my score since and sitting at around 4701 with 245,900 last I checked.

[long oyster]

Who booted me out of top 100

This is war

[forest ferry]

Probably denashit

Now go climb higher

[long oyster]

Actually, he's out too LOL

[muted tundra]

I was at 6205 when I had 235,805.

[forest ferry]

Oh yea
New event gives some gems
So maybe some top 100s got glojo or lySS

Almost everyone in lb rolling that banner and pushing

[muted tundra]

Nah. They have SS Kris

[cyan tusk]

Im fighting tank 7 no matter what

[muted tundra]

I don't get why she wasn't rerun during the Eusine event, an event she was boosted in btw.

[long oyster]

Nah I lost 3 ranks

[forest ferry]

I mean

[carmine cedar]

By my calculation, this guy was 219k points and was at 9100, when this was posted, it was 24 hours ago with 219396 points

[long oyster]

It has to be a glojo haver

Smh

[forest ferry]

Cerena is still better mf than sskris

For this event

And no cerena banner either

[long oyster]

You still want both

[muted tundra]

Yeah without Cerena, you're gonna struggle getting to triple figures.

[forest ferry]

I'd still say sskris below cerena and glojo for this event

[onyx crystal]

What I'm trying to comprehend is how they used nessa to gain 78k, did they use Kris as the flincher?

[carmine cedar]

Aussie had an extremely close point to him, so according to my calculations, around 7 hours later there should be a drop of 200 rank

The minimum is increasing, just not as fast, however to be safe you still need 240k+ or possibly 260k

[long oyster]

Flinching with Kris makes a lot of sense

[muted tundra]

Yeah 240k+ seems like a safe point.

[forest ferry]

Flinching and crit focus on Kris

[long oyster]

Waterfall has ramming speed as well

[forest ferry]

That seems like noticable damage drop

[carmine cedar]

My guess wouldnt have been possible without the points being very close, so ty for the image Aussie

[forest ferry]

But ig if Nessa procs def drop like every turn

It must be doable

[long oyster]

Not sure about that

Megakick doesnt seem that big that a good nuke + flinch cant compensate

• def drops on Nessa

[onyx crystal]

yeah but Kris flinch is only 40% that'd be a lot more resetting

[long oyster]

I agree

[forest ferry]

I assume they sync with Nessa once as well

Coz that middle gonna be very bulky

[long oyster]

But we in rng territory anyway

So props to them for getting the run

[forest ferry]

And sides get def drop anyways

[long oyster]

Wait

[forest ferry]

So Kris should sweep em super quick

[cyan tusk]

I think it’s dc2 nessa (which procs ripple effect 9) with a couple of waterfalls (I guess the first 2 bc the left carvanha uses X defense all)

[long oyster]

They aresyncing with Nessa

Nvm

[cyan tusk]

For me it’s only kris syncing

[long oyster]

I cant see.
I thought Kris wasnt EX

[cyan tusk]

Bc the mid will be chipped by razor shells and mega kicks

And that Lana is a water guard Lana for sure

[onyx crystal]

Oh Atrax I don't think you've pinged me to be added

[forest ferry]

I was doing less than 500 str and kris mega kick hits like wet paper

[long oyster]

I didn't

[cyan tusk]

Keep in mind that debuffs are really the way to high points

Sharpedo has like reduction 5 to defense debuffs which is not a lot so when you stack a couple of debuffs you see the damage adding up

[long oyster]

I'm resetting Marlon to get back
I'll @ you when I'm done

[cyan tusk]

That’s why Eusine has disarm 9 at 5/5 and SSLysandre has that other passive at 5/5

Lmao

[forest ferry]

So fire event means

5/5 sshilda meta

Oh god

[onyx crystal]

Dena: We'll put all the LG/High Score stuff at 5/5.

[forest ferry]

Now that 5/5 anni may looks lit for psychic high score event

[carmine cedar]

Another may...

[onyx crystal]

do you mean ssMay?

[carmine cedar]

On the other hand, if we had a Galar region leaderboard event, it would be a chance to unlock as many galarian units as possible

He was talking about anni may for psychic event, Anni May is psychic

[onyx crystal]

anni may is just Wish Bogo and a Befuddle

[forest ferry]

Anni may gets that gradual healing on entry
So it's good for dealing with stages like Nessa

[rain sierra]

Damn, you guys are still grinding this?

[carmine cedar]

Somehow yes, though the amount of partecipants is dwindling

[onyx crystal]

I could improve my nessa score a lot it seems, but Laziness seems like a good option

[muted tundra]

Same

[forest ferry]

I got no room for improvement
Unless I do some actual investment

[rain sierra]

Huh, I'm still in top 100. Good enough

[carmine cedar]

I could push a bit if I REALLY wanted to, but I feel lazy especially since I'm not dropping fast

🥱

Or at least not in danger

[rain sierra]

I got no luck with either Glojo or Lysandre so nothing much I can do

[muted tundra]

Also just remembered that Cerena has a tile to inflict Confusion.

[carmine cedar]

Does she? My Cerena is 1/5

Wait no

She's 2/5

[forest ferry]

She gets it at 2/5

[muted tundra]

It's a 2/5 tiles

[carmine cedar]

...

[forest ferry]

Free 3k pts

[carmine cedar]

Bruh

[forest ferry]

Well my cerena didn't even run powerplay when I used her vs Nessa

Still got 80k+

[carmine cedar]

The entire time I was not aware of it, now I have to redo the stage... but I don't feel like it atm

[forest ferry]

I realised that only after resetting most my runs

[carmine cedar]

oh

[forest ferry]

Wondering why she can't do 600 str vs Marlon

[carmine cedar]

It has a really high chance of confusion but it's a dark type move

Like 50% confuse chance

[forest ferry]

You spam it anyways

For accuracy drops

[carmine cedar]

🤔

[forest ferry]

So it's a good tile to pick

[carmine cedar]

You know what, I might as well try to reset now and use that tile

[long oyster]

Marlon never proccing TM Mpr or Unyielding might make me switch to MistyDuck for good

Uuuugh

[forest ferry]

I used Ladaman over Marlon for same reason

He never procs MPR

Bait tile

[long oyster]

My dumb face forgot Adaman had Vaporeon so he's still lvl 0

[forest ferry]

Ladaman so good with EX
Gonna need that recuperation to tank a sync

If you aren't exing him, Marlon still better

[carmine cedar]

I was able to get a better score on Marlon with Cerena confusion

Now I'm in rank 4780, phew...

😮‍💨

No more for now until sunday or monday

[long oyster]

Why do Rock Slide and Surf keep missing everybody but my frog

Maaaaaaan

[muted tundra]

Improved my score and rank. I think I'm good to go.

[rugged fjord]

there's two people in 450k now, hilda was overtaken

[cyan tusk]

Irida sweep

[light star]

the rank drop is slowing down

[cyan tusk]

Alright I have no motivation to climb higher since number 4 is 8K ahead and I don’t know where to grab this points. It has been a fun ride 🤩 the details here

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

@onyx crystal one last time, updated

||Im saying this bc I want the game to give me addition copies of SSLysandre ||

[long oyster]

|| I tried that tech to get a glojo. Game was generous enough to give me a 12/5 May instead ||

[cyan tusk]

There’s still 3 dailies and if I get a 4/5 SSLysandre I’ll throw a candy just for the sake of it

[haughty haven]

[long oyster]

I just want 1 copy to bully Lana a bit

[cyan tusk]

Me, surrounded by all the overseas 🐳 and strange symbols as their names

[long oyster]

Same, but lower

[haughty haven]

gl

Hope y have 1 more SSLy

[long oyster]

[haughty haven]

I still waiting my 4/5 Dojo for LG

[onyx crystal]

when you didn't intentionally make your score 420,069

[long oyster]

Can you spot the error in the first picture ?

I should probably grind Nessa and Archie

Oh yeah

@onyx crystal do you need the grids now or can it wait

[onyx crystal]

100k+ is def possible on Marlon, but it's hellish

[onyx crystal]

optional

[long oyster]

I'll do it later then

[cyan tusk]

Yeah but even with it it’s not 8K points more than now

So I guess I’m going to enjoy the weekend without grinding ||and pulling for mallow ||

[round stone]

Anyone have any advice for cerena, elio, marlon on marlon? I can’t seem to find the correct move order/strat

[rough forum]

Always have elio act last so you get the most turns out of sleep denial

[round stone]

Can’t you only do that to each opponent once every 2 sync cycles?

[long oyster]

1. Brutal swing if flabbergast 4, if not, water shuriken
   X Def All
   Sing center

2. Water Shuriken Marlon
   X Def All
   Skip Elio

3. Water Shuriken Marlon
   Pray for X Def All again
   Sing Poliwrath

Sync Elio
B Quick Attack Mid
Rock Tomb Mid
You ideally want to quad queue an Elio TM here

Cerena TM
Rock Tomb something that isnt at -6 speed
Sleep Barbaracle

[rough forum]

^

[long oyster]

Make sure your water shurikens lower Marlons attack as much as possible

A +1 or more sync is deadly

After his sync, Marlon is going to use x evasion all, if you couldnt quad queue elio TM, do it here, if not, go for an x sp def all

After that, it's generic CS spam so you can do water shuriken on poliwrath

For your 2nd B Quick Attack, it entirely depends on you

I did it on Barbaracle because Rock Slide will kill me anyway but my cerena takes 568 dmg from poliwrath's surf at +5 Sp Def

I also always synced on Marlon until K.O. so it was a huge rng fest afterwards

I think I'm done

Wait no I'm not

After you slept Marlon after X evasion all, you'll have to Marlon TM to keep Elio alive

[rough forum]

You want -4 atk before his X atk all at least

[long oyster]

You need some mprs
Dont wait on unyielding to proc or you will lose turns and your Marlon will die

[rough forum]

Yeah mash anything and hope he dodges if unyelding doesn't proc

Turns matter the most in this event

1 extra turn is difference between winning and losing

[long oyster]

You still need unyielding in case mpr stops proccing
Dont skip it in his grid
First Aid wont help him

[rough forum]

First aid only helps if Marlon is Clement and spams water pulse post endure pop

And it's one instance

Won't save him in long run anyway

[long oyster]

Also
Team Pinpoint Entry on Marlon + Troublemaker Lucky Skill on Elio for 100% acc on sing

[round stone]

Yeah I got that the moment I saw the team comp

[haughty haven]

I dont think about those thing this much

[long oyster]

Then you're a natural

[haughty haven]

I just like Marlon+Elio=100% Sleep

[long oyster]

[haughty haven]

And i thought that Elio cant tank, so maybe Marlon TM help

And it became this

[long oyster]

Well that's how I experienced the fight

[rough forum]

Kinda same

My thought process is different but samey for flinch on Lana Archie and nessa

[long oyster]

The process is really different on Marlon because he requires tech nukes

Striker nukes just go brrrr

[rough forum]

Striker nukes are so good for this event yes

Tech ones are...ugh

[snow radish]

ok here's what I did. Strength: 500/250/300/270/400

I did misty and Archie first, then Lana, then when I got to Marlon i realized i had a problem lol

if i did it over i would probably try and force more strikers onto the stages where they actually work, save stuff like ss Misty for Marlon etc

[rough forum]

Mudkip

[snow radish]

but I'm probably not gonna do it over

[snow radish]

Yeah that was the other issue i guess, i didn't want to evolve any of the remaining water starters lol (i would've evolved oshawott If i needed to since its kit doesn't change at least)

[quasi bone]

Still very safe at my score

[forest ferry]

All des people going all rng with marlon
Meanwhile me just rely on adaman's protect

[stray comet]

I don't really care about the leaderboard, I just want good rewards

[stray comet]

Who should I use with him?

[forest ferry]

Depends on who you used for others

Since lySS can carry a bit against her

[stray comet]

I haven't beaten any of them yet

[forest ferry]

tbh I did mention, I kinda dunno what to recommend since it's a pretty painful roster to look at

[stray comet]

[forest ferry]

Closest I can say is hilbert, Kris, lrosa for Archie, may for misty and lySS for Nessa

[stray comet]

ack I just realized my SS Lysandre isn't even 2/5 I could upgrade him

[forest ferry]

Well 1/5 lySS is still pretty good

2/5 and 1/5 don't have much difference in power

[stray comet]

oh okay

[forest ferry]

Did you try doing low str runs like 150-200 with 3 water unit teams?

[stray comet]

YES I MANAGED TO BEAT NESSA ON 200 STRENGTH

thank you for your help!

[forest ferry]

Good now if that run felt comfortable, now increase strength and do the same thing again

[maiden canopy]

I'm still in the top 3.5k surprisingly

BTW, what's the range now of top 10k?

[terse haven]

[forest ferry]

That cerena and Lana run can be saved by just swapping elio and ssblue tbh

[sour ferry]

2195 to 2285 in the last 24 hours

[rough forum]

22x thousands

[maiden canopy]

Hmmmmm

[long oyster]

Guys does left carvanha always open with X Def All

This is the 10th time I go for a flinch and it just denies it like that

[forest ferry]

That thing goes crunch when I don't bring a flinch bot and x def all when I bring a flincher

[long oyster]

Same

Wtf is this

[long oyster]

Quick update
Le funny rank
(Sorry @onyx crystal )

[rugged drum]

We’re in there

[long oyster]

Def debuffs do matter a lot
At -6 defs, Kris beats 500 str in 2 nukes (with EX support)

Starting to see how that kris nessa run went on archie

It requires a lot of restrained freebies tho

Ugh

[forest ferry]

Hmmm if I can EX Lana Id try but I have no mats so

[long oyster]

I really dont recommend it

It feels hellish

[forest ferry]

I mean
It's better than whatever I am coping with rn

[long oyster]

[rancid perch]

I definitely need to rearrange some stuff to get a triple water clear on marlon

which I'm thinking would require freeing up may as a primary damage dealer

[forest ferry]

I could also move Hilbert to my Lana run
And bump it's strength as well

If I can do the run

[long oyster]

Depends on how your clears look like

[forest ferry]

Hilbert can easily replace wake

Hmmm lemme see how many kalos tickets I have

[long oyster]

Why Kalos Tickets

[forest ferry]

PUs

[long oyster]

That's genius LMAO

[forest ferry]

I already used some for my lySS

So might not have much, so I have to scrap from hoenn or smth as well

Well can't EX Lana yet
I can do it when cs resets so

[carmine cedar]

I dropped only 90 ranks in 9 hours

More orless

[sturdy glen]

@onyx crystal
650 / 630 / 355 / 450 / 460

[rancid perch]

ok this lana nessa kris team vs archie seems kinda good actually ngl

[open furnace]

Okay, here's how my teams look so far, thoughts?

Just need to figure out who to pair with Nessa

[austere ferry]

really great for Bicio, who has no SSLys, to be in the Top 5

i'm assuming all the other top 10 would have all complete characters

[open furnace]

Also, how much do I need for all the rewards exactly?

[stark trail]

180k points

[open furnace]

I mean, water types.

Not after top rankings.

[atomic rain]

you need 180k points

we dunno how many waters you need

it depends on how good they are

[open furnace]

Here.

[long oyster]

You can get all the rewards pretty easily with that roster

[grand perch]

That roster is fire lol

[atomic rain]

dude i wish i had lyss for this event

[sturdy glen]

No is water

[grand perch]

I stand corrected, that roster is fire

[open furnace]

Would that mean boiling then?

or scalding?

[foggy breach]

Does anyone know the str and points on each stage for the top 2 guys on ladder?

[onyx crystal]

No, but we have Rank 5 listed here, Bicio.

[elfin spade]

I pushed my score a bit to get rank 5,240. I think I’m definitely safe now and will be in the top 10k

I don’t wanna do this again. After I get the medal I’m just going for rewards in all future events

[rancid perch]

Misty: 510
Marlon: 690
Lana: 500
Nessa: 500
Archie: 550
defense crush nessa new meta

freed up tech gyarados and even cleared archie on a higher strength, but as long as the 40% flinch luck is there, the sync damage ranges are really lenient so the strength could definitely go even higher

but for now I've reclaimed my top 100 spot

@onyx crystal

[long oyster]

Defense Crush Nessa is really good yeah

What grid did you use on her ?

[rancid perch]

this one, razor shell tiles and restrained recovery just for animation time to generate more gauge

[late basalt]

Any thoughts on ways to improve

Hoping to get bottom of master tier if possible

[hardy fog]

Your roster is so stacked you just need to try increase the points and do it I’m sure you can get 50k+ on all

[late basalt]

Problem is a lot of them arent EX

[light star]

so the threshold is currently slightly less than 220k

[late basalt]

I made some upgrades

I'm at 212862 rn

I've seen sstred used on marlon, would that be a good call

[rough forum]

I mean if he's 3/5 you can definitely push more than 28k

[late basalt]

I have him at 3 yeah

I assume I replace nessa and go starmie / hilbert / red

[rough forum]

People do stages with him at 600 str, so you can aim for 400

[rancid perch]

I'm one of the guys in top 100 using red, but my marlon score is way lower than every other stage

[rough forum]

Hilbert with red is overlill

Since red doesn't need any of his buffs

Allot Marlon instead

[late basalt]

should misty be the tank or marlon

[rough forum]

Misty for dodge RNG probably

[rancid perch]

as long as you can field 5 coherent teams using just water types, it'd be better to not resort to red, the score multiplier is a really big difference

nessa as a primary damage dealer didn't work too well at higher strength levels but you could likely get marlon to high 30k points at least

[mortal timber]

[late basalt]

Let's hope 500 people don't beat me

[bright river]

[round stone]

well you can bet that I probably will

[forest ferry]

Move sskris to misty, glojo to Lana and SSTred for Marlon

[stable tulip]

hi, my water units are kinda wack, can i send my water+support units here and ask for help on the event?

[forest ferry]

And rework teams around that

[forest ferry]

That's what the channel is for

[stable tulip]

[rough forum]

Considering their score imo red is better

They can definitely get more than 14k with red

[stable tulip]

i can ex units if needed

[forest ferry]

No SSmisty?

[stable tulip]

nyope

[forest ferry]

What water eggmons you got?

And can you candy both the mistys to 3/5?

[stable tulip]

i can, and i havent been getting much water eggmons...

[late basalt]

8 people surpassed me in ~25 mins

[forest ferry]

No Lana either?

And ssblue?

[stable tulip]

nope, i chose ssred from the free ss kantrio

[round stone]

you don't even have enough water pairs to do mono water. I advise you to retreat to OP offtype units for some teams.

[stable tulip]

got it

[forest ferry]

SsBrendan, may, Barry(EX) for misty
Kris, Hilbert, tlrosa(try to get in next 2 days if you haven't ) for Archie

For others, I'd like to look at offtype unit options

[stable tulip]

sure sure

strikers and techs

[round stone]

Ash, Zerena, SSRCynthia and SSSteven:

[forest ferry]

Nice, 3/5 SSTred for Marlon

[round stone]

... and sstred...

[forest ferry]

SSTred, Smisty, left out water unit

With kekwalk+SS3+haymaker build

Deoxys atk for Nessa with 2 rando water units(one of em with x def all)

Hmmm dunno what to recommend for lana now

Ig just zygarde it?
Or if you can EX chop he is better

Run elio or wake in that team for sleep/ flinch as well since lana hits hard

[haughty haven]

Almost and Kris didn’t crit

This was a nice run when Nessa drop -6 Def before 2nd sync

[forest ferry]

So
SsBrendan, may, Barry for misty
SSTred, misty, Smisty for Marlon
Deoxys atk, Marlon, elio for Nessa
Kris, Hilbert, TLrosa/Nessa for Archie
......idk what to recommend for lana

Like not enuff tanks

If there was ssblue or Lana I'd say chop/zerena and wake with one of em

You can try ccalem, ssgrim, wake
But it won't be as good I'd assume due to no actual defense buffs

[stable tulip]

imma try these out still

any help is appreciated

[stable tulip]

who is chop?

[forest ferry]

Champion hop

Middle is fighting type vs lana

[stable tulip]

ohh icic

[haughty haven]

Pls Crit

Finally

[mortal timber]

Awesome

[haughty haven]

Now my tech Gyara is free

[mortal timber]

Where you using it?

[haughty haven]

Of course Nessa :))

[rancid perch]

yo I did the same thing yesterday, using my nessa vs archie to free up tech gyara for nessa

[haughty haven]

I hate Nessa

She just need press Razor Shell

But no

[rancid perch]

what strength did you use for thid btw?

[haughty haven]

Just 530

[rancid perch]

ah I did it at 550

[haughty haven]

Maybe i can do it, but gauge so such and Nessa sometimes just dont drop Def

So i just do 530

[rancid perch]

the damage range on kris' sync felt generous (as long as you get the crits anyway) so I imagine the strength can go even higher but it'd definitely need good flinch luck and kris' waterfall can only go to 40%

yeah gauge on the team is tight for sure

[mortal timber]

I feel you buddy

To think that my almost 81k points on Nessa with 2/5 lysandre is standing because of a confusion self hit of a side

Tells you a lot

[haughty haven]

My SSLy not EX, so he such

My SP on that stage not EX too

I’m stuck at 325 Nessa

[carmine cedar]

Wait til monday

[forest ferry]

Techdos, 2/5 lySS, Ladaman can do 500ish str vs Nessa?

Give Ladaman grid for it plz 👀

[haughty haven]

SSLy not EX so bad

This is 310 and just barely win

Without EX he cant kill side mon

And i forgot to say

My SSLy is 2/5 from Daily

[cyan tusk]

So now I know where my SSLysandre is

[haughty haven]

Idk how i can EX him in time

[cyan tusk]

[haughty haven]

He cant KO side mon

[cyan tusk]

Just throw some random pulls on the ticket banners

[haughty haven]

I must use like 3 Stream into them

No, i’m saving gem now

[lone bronze]

No spare tickets?

[haughty haven]

No

Like i always said, i’m very poor

Nessa looks even more sad than before

[mortal timber]

I did ssb lysandre tech dos vs 564 strength Nessa

But it's huge RNG reliant due to a lucky win via self confusion hit

500ish tho is totally doable

Source: trust me

[forest ferry]

Ah ssblue

I need him for lana so can't do that level run

[mortal timber]

Understandable

I deployed lodge adaman on Marlon with may and wake

Rain synergy with them two and floatzel flinches

[haughty haven]

Me who dont have SSB because i picked SSRed

[mortal timber]

Ah dang it

Unfortunate

Still you did amazing scores

[haughty haven]

No i’m suck, because i thought i have enough EX so i EX pair for song

[mortal timber]

It's fine

I am out of resources too

To ex Lana

I had to use some tickets to get some dupes hahaha

This month I had to ex before Lana:
Eusine Tate Liza Oleana Kris

All my savings on 5* tickets gone, shattered to pieces

[haughty haven]

Me rn

[mortal timber]

I feel you so much hahahha

Same fucking situation

No candies, no tickets

No gems hahaha

But I summoned everywhere so that makes sense at least

[haughty haven]

I want to roll, but i’m saving now

[mortal timber]

I started saving too, till anni hopefully

[haughty haven]

I’m Pity 3 Master Pair in a row

[mortal timber]

Oof I am so sorry to hear that

I hope it's all adding up to positive karma on Anni

[haughty haven]

I hope so

[mortal timber]

[haughty haven]

At least my Daily not bad, so i’m not feeling that bad

[mortal timber]

Daily luck pog

I cannot afford to spend money in this game so I am relying on my luck

Since day 1

[haughty haven]

Yeah, spend money for video game is hard

[mortal timber]

I wanna avoid gacha in particular cuz once you start it's over haha

I am fine when purchasing DLC and stuff

But for these games I just do my all to avoid it and it's working still nowadays

[haughty haven]

Now i’m scare to spend money for pokemon sleep

[mortal timber]

YOU CAN SPEND MONEY ON SLEEP?

I didn't know that

[haughty haven]

But lucky pokemon sleep doesn’t accept my money

Because for some reason pokemon sleep doesn’t like my country money

[haughty haven]

Yes, it has gems and monthly plans

[mortal timber]

[mortal timber]

No way

I still have to install that game

[long oyster]

Noooo someone took rank 69 from me

Time to climb

[mortal timber]

Till I stay around 59th like rn or top 60s till Monday's reset which is the last day, I am super comfy to stay in the top

[forest ferry]

I capped out at 490 strength vs Nessa

For some reason whenever I bring techdos, she spams EQ more

Could rly hit another 30-40 str if she doesn't do EQ with techdos

[haughty haven]

With 2/5 SSLy, i still just barely do 310 Nessa

[forest ferry]

But 300 range is ez tho
Even if she spams EQ

[rough forum]

I could do 370 str Nessa with basic Nessa and techdos but it made me almost go insane

[forest ferry]

Ill have ex lana after CS reset

Then I can improve my Archie run

I want to try dc2 Nessa

[haughty haven]

But if i use Adaman for more gauge and SpA, Nessa presses 1 EQ and that a reset

[forest ferry]

Str:
430
680
670
490
440

@onyx crystal update when you are free

[forest ferry]

Ah she uses EQ immediately

It's razor shell for me

[haughty haven]

Always

Yesterday, She just didnt stop EQ

3 hours and i couldn’t beat 300 Nessa

[forest ferry]

She does that for me only when I bring techdos
It's like as if she recognises I bring him and she beats me down hard

[haughty haven]

And idk why AI now so weird

[forest ferry]

Also I see more flinches in general from opponent side now

[haughty haven]

Like it know you will kill that side mon when you flinch mid

[forest ferry]

I can't be happy with golisopod doing waterfall anymore

[haughty haven]

So the other side mon attack instead

So weird and i hate it

[forest ferry]

I'd rather take x scissor instead

Ah that one I had it when I use elio

[haughty haven]

Idk bro

[forest ferry]

It's so random

[haughty haven]

Like early day i didn’t have that problem

[forest ferry]

A lot of my cerena runs take long coz of it

Since it's a 50/50 gamble

[haughty haven]

Now it always happen

[forest ferry]

I wish I had sskris or glojo
I can't hit top 100

At best another 10k pts with ex lana

[haughty haven]

Well at least you have a medal

[forest ferry]

Top 100 already close to 355k+ pts

Medal is ez tho

Only 50k per run

Doesn't need as much resets

[rough forum]

I got kicked out this morning, I doubt 3/5 dojoglo would get me back in

[haughty haven]

I think on last day, top 100 like 380k

[forest ferry]

Eh doubt on that

[rough forum]

I think top 100 will be 368-70

[long oyster]

600 Nessa is pain

Uuuuugh

[forest ferry]

Top 50 is still 370k

So I'd assume by last day it'll be at 360k for top 100

[rough forum]

Yeah but last 2 days are rush hour

[haughty haven]

Yeah idk why i still in top 50

But i will be kicked out soon

[forest ferry]

The top 10 is moving faster than I expected

Bicio was rank 5 this morning

And few hrs already rank 7

[haughty haven]

I share my friend team

I help him Marlon-Lana-Archie

[forest ferry]

It they do the crazy Nessa team vs Archie, they can gun another 10k pts

[haughty haven]

Yes, i tried

But he didn’t want to suffer anymore

[forest ferry]

[mortal timber]

[stable tulip]

@forest ferry sorry for random ping but managed to 150k (used lana chop bea for lana in the end) i can probably improve, so thank you for your help!

[forest ferry]

Oh you had lana

I'd have recommended Lana for Archie and Hilbert for Lana team instead then
It's also more comfier

Your pics didn't have lana after all

Smth like lana, Kris, tlrosa/nessa for achie and chop, Hilbert , ssgrims for lana

@stable tulip it'd net more pts

[stable tulip]

oh my bad my bad

[stable tulip]

im using +250, is that what i should use?

[forest ferry]

Strength depends on how much rng you want to deal with

You can play around and increase strength by 10-20 pts depending on how comfy your previous clear is

[stable tulip]

got it

[forest ferry]

180k for all rewards afterall

But 150k already good score with that roster

Due to not enuff water units

[stable tulip]

i feel like i can get someone to 40k

i got lucky with nessa, ss steven proc'd BOGO 3 times in a row

[atomic rain]

do you not have nessa

[stable tulip]

but elio didnt reduce spdef for 3 times in a row..

i do

[atomic rain]

try using her instead of chop on lana

[stable tulip]

worked! tysm!

[scarlet summit]

I’m nearly top 4k, and I don’t think I’m going to push anymore

[stable tulip]

wouldnt have gotten anything without this channel. thanks guys

[scarlet summit]

I didn’t realize Nessa was good apparently until now lol

[forest ferry]

Str:
460
680
670
490
440

@onyx crystal update when you are free

Bumped a 30 str vs misty

Need 6k more pts to remove the ugly number

Man if only misty was EXable I can do 500+ str easily

[forest ferry]

Is that adaman offtype

[haughty haven]

I have nice number

[forest ferry]

What str is that fight?@scarlet summit

I tried 1/5 adaman at 500 str and kinda struggled

[slow obsidian]

Relatable ngl

Also wish Misty is a little bulkier (always (almost) gets one-shotted by a Blizzard/Ice Fang )

[carmine cedar]

🤔

[forest ferry]

Her bulk isn't a problem

It's just evasion hax all the way

I am walled due to lack of damage

[carmine cedar]

I wonder if people are starting to catch up a bit or at least ramp up their efforts now ...

Oh well, it doesn't matter much to me.

[slow obsidian]

Same ngl

[balmy yarrow]

What’s the strategy vs Lana when using Urshifu?
I’m using the Urshifu 3/5 speed debuff sync nuke + Samurott and Flotzel but I still fail 15k

You can only flinch them once, and the sync nukes floatzel 100% of the time

[forest ferry]

Lower strength enuff for floatzel to live post sync

And main thing with dojo is she drops defense
And the nuke has towering force

[balmy yarrow]

Oh I see

Do I have to get rid of the sides first??

Sync first with Samurott?

[forest ferry]

I don't know the exact strat with glojo other than killing middle in right time with dmove

And yea
Supp ex first as always

[late basalt]

I think I fell about 200 in 8 hours idk if that sounds right

At this rate I will be rank ~11025 when the event ends

But the number will probably be much more panicked in 2 days time

[tender herald]

should aim for 230k. I think it would be safer to stay there

[late basalt]

I'm not sure which one I should focus on increasing my score on

[forest ferry]

You mean 240k

There's still 3 days
Which includes a CS reset day so more PUs to make new EX and push ranks

[late basalt]

Marlon and Archie are at Max rng pretty much

Idk about nessa I might be able to raise her a few points

[tender herald]

I'm pretty sure the score will be at the end of 220k-ish and the beginning of 230k

[late basalt]

If I EX ssgrim I might be able to do some damage

[round stone]

That Misty team seems questionable

You could probably do way better if you teambuild right

[forest ferry]

That misty team is

The entire stage is special focus

And they bring a physical tank

With 2 dpses that takes 6+ turns to buff themselves to max

[late basalt]

May is just for rain Gloria is the striker

[forest ferry]

Yea
And Gloria setup sucks

[late basalt]

I don't really have anyone else

[forest ferry]

I mean

Misty is a better special tank

And you can run gloria with someone like ssblue for relatively budget option

[forest ferry]

You really used sskris on a physical dps stage

Nowonder

[scarlet summit]

420 was the strength on the second battle

[forest ferry]

I'd move ssblue to Lana, sskris to misty and Lana to archie

That alone fixes half the problems

[forest ferry]

Oh 420 strength

The score is still high

[scarlet summit]

Lol I suck

[forest ferry]

For 2 unit team

[scarlet summit]

It was a fast battle

I think

[forest ferry]

Ah so more time score

[scarlet summit]

Idk, it wasn’t fast

[forest ferry]

Yea I was doing 500+ str for offtype stuff

[scarlet summit]

I see

500 is too hard even for off type for me

[forest ferry]

Well SSTred can do 695 str

[scarlet summit]

Wow

[forest ferry]

And all you need is potion rng

[scarlet summit]

I only did like 420 or something

[forest ferry]

And supports like SsBrendan, aura cyn can also carry quite hard

[late basalt]

I wanted rain and spatk boost for eusine

[forest ferry]

Then use eusine vs misty

[scarlet summit]

I was using Kris on my second run on the second battle and was wondering why she was so weak for 10 minutes lol

[forest ferry]

The best misty team itself is like eusine, Archie, sskris

[scarlet summit]

I forgot about the settings

Best team is whatever #1 player has lol

[tender herald]

Misty could be higher, EX support + EX striker + rain for a stage that benefits rains without buffing enemy. 36k is like 150~200 STR or something? I think you can do at least 250+ STR

[scarlet summit]

It’s insane how far apart #1 and #100 is

[forest ferry]

The fact that there's 1/5 sgloria but not OG Kris is kinda

Even 2/5 OG Kris > sgloria

[scarlet summit]

This was my second battle

Funny how Kris used to be so bad until her sync grid expansion I think

[forest ferry]

Oh that is pretty long fight

[scarlet summit]

Yeah lol

[forest ferry]

It's still nice score for a 1 offtype team

I tried 1/5 adaman and gave up

[scarlet summit]

Lol

[forest ferry]

3/5 can defo sweep 600+ str tho

If only mine is 3/5, I can try it

[scarlet summit]

Dang, I can barely do 420

[forest ferry]

Man even has confusion in grid

Busted unit

[scarlet summit]

Lol

[forest ferry]

Tbf, even without the grid expansion
I'd take Kris over sgloria anyday

They both are pretty similar at what they do but Kris had better nuke even pre buff

[scarlet summit]

Lol dang

[late basalt]

Alright I've gotten that down

At about 150 power I can seemingly fight nessa with non ex ssgrim, Lana, and I've been using may but IDK if she's good cause of Nessa's water sync

I could maybe try crasher wake for the bonus from confusion

[tranquil blaze]

I hate flinch teams marlon SUCKSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[stray dust]

I'm seeing last minute players

[atomic rain]

id try using lodge silver here as setting up both of her multipliers will take very long without another debuffer

[tranquil blaze]

She's not using her tm

[late basalt]

I think I'm good

I'll check in in a day and there's probably plenty of room for bonus points on that one

On nessa

[atomic rain]

it still takes 12 turns without an external debuffer

If I can get grimsley to 140 I think I can get to 235 even

I also think the higher up i am the less likely I am to get displaced

Like at 9200 there's a lot of room for improvement

At 7800 there's 2200 people below me who get bumped out before I do

I hate marlon nothing is working 🥲

[tranquil blaze]
