High Score

[whole finch]

I could use Bp Soph

[main pulsar]

Hm

That honestly isn’t a bad idea

But you need to ex it

[whole finch]

[rough forum]

BP soph is nice but imo there's better you're already using

[main pulsar]

Yeah ik

[main pulsar]

What could he swap though

[atomic rain]

me when bp soph barely tanks 200 str elesa

[main pulsar]

I used him with nemona

As such I could get away with it

[atomic rain]

i used ss diantha

i literally just needed a body

[whole finch]

Should i 3/5 either Marnie/Hol Jasmine?

[main pulsar]

Well you prolly already have the medal so unless ur doing it for fun

No

[atomic rain]

holiday jasmine has better long term value

but for this event just dont

[main pulsar]

I 3/5 ash and sstred because it was looooooong overdue and this was a good excuse

[whole finch]

Can 254k secure my Master rank position?

I am rank 854

[main pulsar]

Most likely but

We won’t know until toward the end

[whole finch]

but

[atomic rain]

that should be safe

[main pulsar]

But

[whole finch]

[atomic rain]

emphasis on should

[gleaming raven]

plausible but not guaranteed

[whole finch]

https://tenor.com/view/agony-gif-23084585

I hate p2ws

[main pulsar]

Savage

[atomic rain]

dont you have rats

you’re already doing better than i am

[main pulsar]

He has A rat

[atomic rain]

a rat is better than ratless

[main pulsar]

Tru

[atomic rain]

this is bare minimum

[fair drift]

[main pulsar]

Sshau is hardly bare minimum

But I know what you mean

[atomic rain]

read the move level

1/5 ss hau is ass

[fair drift]

barely, maybe

[main pulsar]

Wild

My move level is 0 though

[mortal timber]

The flameproof forbidden technique I see hahha

[whole finch]

I have rats
My boy & Pikachu
Sophocles & Togedemaru
Hau & A. Raichu
||SST Red & Pikachu||

[atomic rain]

i mean tbf

[whole finch]

[atomic rain]

bp clemont already has vigilance

[main pulsar]

Why flameproof on magnetron

[atomic rain]

because

reasons

[fair drift]

I have Flameproof on my Hilbert, don't judge

[atomic rain]

i have adrenaline cuz skill issue

[whole finch]

Same lol

[atomic rain]

if anything

hs makes me better at quad queue

[fair drift]

wait until the final few days and frantically raise your points if you feel like in danger of falling out

[atomic rain]

cuz im fucking forced to

[fair drift]

the only good thing that comes out of this game mode

[primal shadow]

Take out that credit card, babyyyyyyy

[fair drift]

i was more so thinking of doing higher points and praying for more evasion/flinch/whatever but sure

[whole finch]

There's no Paid Electric units so far
So i see no point for

[primal shadow]

Oh I thought they were already doing that

[main pulsar]

This mode is fun though

[main pulsar]

As if you can’t whale for celesa

[primal shadow]

Literally a paid-gems only Electric banner going on rn

[whole finch]

C Elesa

Not worth

[main pulsar]

Like I think there are like 4 instant improvements to make but

[fair drift]

whaaat. she's amazing

[main pulsar]

I do find this mode fun

[primal shadow]

Sorry, multiple Electric banners

[fair drift]

damn good grid expansion, really good utility

[whole finch]

But i wanna pull for 🅱️almer

[main pulsar]

Double whale

2 whales everyone

[fair drift]

she answers so many HS gimmicks
Being Unova
Applying paralysis
Debuffs

[primal shadow]

With the almighty power of Cash, you can do both

[whole finch]

I aint that rich

[main pulsar]

That is fair

[primal shadow]

That's a you problem ngl

/s

[whole finch]

NC Red fucks up my gems lol

[stray dust]

Be like me, don't even care about medal now that I got it from water HS and saving gems for palmer

[main pulsar]

Every single freakin one of them fucked me

Badly

[whole finch]

[main pulsar]

Blues still going

[primal shadow]

I got Blue today on his banner

The Flying one

[main pulsar]

[primal shadow]

Along with Nate

So

That's cool

[whole finch]

I think the best way for me to increase points is to EX BP Clemont amd make sure Hau gets level 150

[fair drift]

with enough potion MPRs you can probably get more strength on the CElesa team

chuck potions every other turn

[crimson python]

elesa team

u can take reference with this

im pretty sure mchu cant tank sync unless u debuff-5 offense stats

[main pulsar]

Potion chucking

[crimson python]

tbh

the potion didnt refresh much

so does the flinch

but the missing shennegans helped alot

[whole finch]

Wait

Does Bp. Surge has crit buffs for allies?

[primal shadow]

Yes

[crimson python]

yes

[primal shadow]

Full crit in fact

[crimson python]

but hes very frail

[whole finch]

Oh.....

[primal shadow]

+2 on TM

[whole finch]

Why did i....

[haughty haven]

Marnie on her way to clear side mon

[whole finch]

WHY DID I USE CRIT BUFF GRID ON HOT DAMN SONIA THEN?

[primal shadow]

Looks like a reset is in order

[whole finch]

[primal shadow]

Why did you use both on the same team indeed

[whole finch]

HOT DAMMIT

[whole finch]

What "Check the pins instead" does to an idiot

[signal needle]

Is the consensus that everyone is doing worst on Vs Volkner

[whole finch]

https://tenor.com/view/yakuza-gif-18148683

[signal needle]

Even tho thats the stage with no rules

[primal shadow]

That's actually my best

[severe pollen]

for me at least
I had to resort to NC Marnie to get a decent strength bonus for that one, even with normal Marnie & H-Jasmine

[primal shadow]

But I can definitely see Volkner being the worst

[signal needle]

U sound like u dont hv enough electrics

[severe pollen]

I tried using Clemont instead of Champ Marnie but the decrease in strength required led to a lower score

[whole finch]

I think i could 3/5 NC Serena for VS Volkner and buffing her in general

[signal needle]

Marnie cant deal with sides, u actually need someone to deal with the sides

And clemont is not that person

[signal needle]

Dont

[whole finch]

Ok

[still wyvern]

Do I have to beat all 5 in order to get the rewards? Because I have 112k only from 2 battles.

[signal needle]

Yall shudnt be investing in Non electrics just to score higher in this HS

[still wyvern]

I don't want to bother with Clemont.

[severe pollen]

The only other damage dealing sync pair available after the other 4 stages is normal Sophocles

[signal needle]

U just need to reach the required score

[spark storm]

no, but you need it for the medal

[primal shadow]

They're investing in future HS

[signal needle]

After that then u clear Clemont on 0 difficulty with anything

[still wyvern]

I need 23k per battle.

Let's hope I can get them.

[fair drift]

because it's basically her default and what makes 3/5 Sonia such a huge jump

[signal needle]

Thats not a damagw dealer unfortunately

[fair drift]

should be very doable

[red pendant]

Yeah, no, even with a 250 strength increase, SS Hilda still can't beat Surge 😦

[haughty haven]

Funny that he is my best point

[dim ginkgo]

Do you have strenght levels? Also any good replacement for Jasmine?

[severe pollen]

dang
At least I can still rely on Lt Surge and Marnie’s stages to carry my score

[signal needle]

Uh

[dim ginkgo]

Hm i see

[red pendant]

Hmm?

[dim ginkgo]

Do you remember what strength levels did you go for?

[red pendant]

I just said 250 strength increase

[whole finch]

+170

On VS Volkner

[red pendant]

Oh

[dim ginkgo]

What about everyone?

Sorry for bothering

[whole finch]

Lt Surge + 350
Volkner + 170
Elesa + 200
Clemont +200
Marnie + 450

[signal needle]

I think you should try to swap Hau and Volkner

Which can probably bring ur Vs Volkner up to 50K without lowering the score of Vs Marnie by a lot

[whole finch]

But who's sync nuking in VS Marnie then?

[signal needle]

Clemont

[whole finch]

[signal needle]

Or ur EX Volkner actually cus why not

Clemont syncing on Electric terrain and then his parabolics can wipe the sides

[whole finch]

I think non-EX clemont should do the job anyway

[signal needle]

Yup

[haughty haven]

Finally got the 10% para

[whole finch]

Anyway i'm resetting VS Elesa first

hold on

I'm +280 on elesa????

[signal needle]

And

[dim ginkgo]

Thanks

[signal needle]

Is that not high enuf

[cyan tusk]

It’s exactly as last hs
Volkner = nessa
Surge = Lana

[whole finch]

+300

[chilly flame]

You forgot me

[whole finch]

I shall do this now

[chilly flame]

Trynna figure out which stage is best for nemona

[haughty haven]

At least Surge doesn’t use move like Icycle Crash right ?
Surge: Swift 2 times

[sturdy glen]

it was marlon that raised his evasiveness

[cyan tusk]

Volkner is without stage conditions as nessa while Lana was the one with no healing

[chilly flame]

I’m thinking vs either Marnie or Volkner

[cyan tusk]

And also, the ones with lower overall points

[haughty haven]

Nessa and Volkner both like spam Aoe move too

[cyan tusk]

Earthquake ptsd incoming

[haughty haven]

Now the thing i scare is Surge Swift

[chilly flame]

We went from fearing rock slide to swift

[haughty haven]

1st he make Red cant survive with Shield

[chilly flame]

How things change

[haughty haven]

2nd He takes down the Shield

[primal shadow]

I still find it funny how High Score debuted with a stage that specifically prevented one of the special point conditions

[haughty haven]

3rd He swift 2 times and you will reset bc cant heal

[sturdy matrix]

I find more funny that one of the main point conditions is getting debuffed, and the opponent don't even do it that much

[spark storm]

it counts the opponent debuffs anyway

[primal shadow]

you mean for this HS?

it actually counts how many debuffs you do to the opponent

[sturdy matrix]

Wait it does? It states your units

[primal shadow]

it's a wrong description

[spark storm]

yh it's bugged

[sturdy matrix]

Then makes sense since electric has some good debuffers

[haughty haven]

Apologem when ?

[chilly flame]

Case of Misinformation

[still wyvern]

I'll build a temple to Ash and SSTRed. They gave me 112k points in just 2 battles.

[spark storm]

or wrong effect, coz iirc it was datamined that there should be another one counting the opponent debuff

[primal shadow]

no, the description is wrong

https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonMasters/comments/16jalu4/update_dena_actually_responded_heres_what_the/

[sturdy matrix]

I mean getting debuffed doesn't makes much sense, isn't something you should want to do

[primal shadow]

if they counted "opponent debuffs on you", everyone will get roughly the same score lmao

[spark storm]

well the description still is in the game they didn't put it for nothing, so it might come for real sometime

[sturdy matrix]

I man there are some RNG debuffs like crunch

Plus there are some units that defuffs themselves like N or Sophocles (if you drop unbending from the grid)

[whole finch]

+300

[primal shadow]

that would be a first, resetting to get debuffs on you rather than resetting when you get them

"Aww man <Enemy> didn't drop my Defenses, this sucks"

[sturdy matrix]

I guess would have made sense in fighting high score since some of them have close combat

[whole finch]

Should i go impervious or Hostile Environment 2 for Champlue?

[signal needle]

Nessa didnt hv Aoe moves ya

[spark storm]

earthquake

[haughty haven]

EQ

[signal needle]

Oh

Not boosted in rain

[sturdy matrix]

Volkner is pretty brutal with aoe

[cyan tusk]

She did not need to be rain boosted to crack you

[signal needle]

Idk why volkner is so rough

[haughty haven]

Swift-Discharge

[whole finch]

wait hold on, what's the best grid for NC Blue on VS Marnie?

[signal needle]

Would it be better if i didnt try to force use Marnie

[haughty haven]

[primal shadow]

yeah Marnie is great against Volkner...until you also have to kill the sides

[signal needle]

Tbh yes

[haughty haven]

He click fadace so little

[haughty haven]

The best thing can do here if Marnie is a only dmg dealer is kill Mid and Left side first

BC right side use Giga Impact after Mid die rather than aoe move

[primal shadow]

my team had barely enough survivability to kill Volkner since after sync he just keeps spamming that damn Discharge

[whole finch]

what's the best grid for NC Blue on VS Marnie?

[primal shadow]

I get the concept but idk how to pull it off lol

[haughty haven]

Yeah, i used HJamine and just barely survive without losing Endure to him

I need Endure for Marnie to tank Discharge from left side

and 1 Endure for HJasmine to tank 1 giga impact

[primal shadow]

poor Sonia really did her best to keep herself and Marnie alive, but I can't keep resetting for infinite Potions when just getting to that endgame state is RNG enough

in the end I just moved Marnie and Sonia to Vs Elesa instead, and chucked SST Red to murder Volkner with extreme prejudice

[whole finch]

what's the best grid for NC Blue on VS Marnie?

[haughty haven]

Who do you use to go with him?

[cyan tusk]

And move level?

[whole finch]

volkner and OG Clemont

3/5

[haughty haven]

Idk if Clemont can deal enough dmg

[whole finch]

Hmmm

[whole finch]

Thank you

[haughty haven]

This is mine

[signal needle]

Gonna try this

[haughty haven]

I dont want to use his Heal move for Para

And i want to keep Lucky Skill MG2 so i dont grid Drop SpA

[whole finch]

Vigilance because i am a coward

[haughty haven]

Marnie only Special Move is Snarl so it should be safe

At least you won't get random crit kill your Blue

[main pulsar]

Today I learned

That clemont already has vigilance e

So I have double vigilance on him

Whoops

[arctic quest]

[haughty haven]

Which Stage you use him for ?

[signal needle]

Change of plans, time to stall

[main pulsar]

Surge

[main pulsar]

Wild

[haughty haven]

Steel Guard

[main pulsar]

Oh steel guard

Ur so right

[haughty haven]

Until he spams Swift

[main pulsar]

It’s alot easier on the team than beam

[haughty haven]

For me swift is the bad thing

[main pulsar]

Cuz ideally you flinch him to death

[haughty haven]

[main pulsar]

[haughty haven]

SST Red eats 1 Swift

Cant tank Sync with Shield

SST Red eats 1 Swift with Shield

Shield gone and he will get oneshot by Sync

[reef hull]

how does this event work if i only have 13 electric pairs? i need 15 different eletric pairs right?

[main pulsar]

What is this team

[haughty haven]

The only reason i win him is ramp a lot with 3 Nemona TM, 3 Elesa TM and was able to pre-Sync Surge at 600 str

[haughty haven]

Nemona-SST Red-SS Elesa

[main pulsar]

600 that’s crazy

[onyx crystal]

¿Dónde?

[haughty haven]

Kinda funny bc i also win again 600 str Lana

[signal needle]

I hate Minds Eye

My team max evasion and Volkner -6 accuracy

Discharge hits everyone

[haughty haven]

Evasion buff and acc debuff dont stack sadly

[onyx crystal]

me when my accuracy is 92
me when my opponent's accuracy is 70 💀

[main pulsar]

They don’t???

[main pulsar]

That’s also craaaaaazy

[onyx crystal]

It never did, even in main series.

[main pulsar]

That’s dumb

[haughty haven]

Hmmmmm, i tried to record 600 str Surge again and it never been close to win

[azure idol]

I think I'm done... 500/420/480/480/875

[main pulsar]

Recording curses the run

[main pulsar]

875?

Wat

[haughty haven]

That team just so strong for Marnie

[main pulsar]

I’m stun

But also why is ash so low

[haughty haven]

Bicio was able to 1000str with same team

just more Move Level

[azure idol]

Bicio got 1k with 3/5 Kris

[main pulsar]

Waow

Variety kris is strong

[azure idol]

My 1/5 Kris cannot keep up with damage

[main pulsar]

Eh at tried she even do

What

[azure idol]

Can probably go a bit higher by fishing more flinch

[haughty haven]

Sadly i maybe never get those Pair, bc i dont like variety pair

[main pulsar]

I will not either but like

How is she so strong

A lot of debuffs, strong nuke with synchro healing,

So it’s a longevity gram

[austere ferry]

Part of me is regretting i used that free scout on Raihan 3/5 to 4/5, instead of making making Marnie 2/5 to 3/5, esp knowing this HSE was announced

[main pulsar]

Team

[red pendant]

my god

if I can't beat Surge with 250 strength increase even with someone as strong as SS Hilda

[azure idol]

Sort of, still have to finish before Marnie's second sync

[main pulsar]

Is she irreplaceable

[red pendant]

how am I supposed to get the medal THEN?!

I hate this event

[main pulsar]

I mean I don’t have hau or blue but

[red pendant]

I hate this event so god damn much

[main pulsar]

Just for reference

[azure idol]

Yes with Hau or Clement, EX is preferred

[main pulsar]

She’s the cornerstone of the team not ncblue or sshau?

[azure idol]

Blue is the cornerstone

[main pulsar]

You said she’s irreplaceable

[haughty haven]

NC Blue is more important

[main pulsar]

Do you mean she is replaceable?

[red pendant]

seriously, what am I doing wrong?!

people told me SS Hilda should be able to handle 250-280 strength increase just fine

but she doesn't

[haughty haven]

I think is she is the best here

[red pendant]

she just does NOT

[azure idol]

I misread as replaceable

[haughty haven]

with NC Blue and SS Hau

[main pulsar]

I figured

[main pulsar]

I do think she’s bis

Just wondering if scuffed replaceable

Ch I’m grinding for blue

Now if he hates me that’s that but

[haughty haven]

I dont have SS Hau and V Kris

[azure idol]

Team core can be NC Blue with either 3/5 Kris or 3/5 SS Hau

[main pulsar]

Just in case he decides to be gentle

Oh so I can’t replicate

[haughty haven]

But with NC Blue my OG Hau still able to beat 690 str

[main pulsar]

Rip

Nc blue carry

[haughty haven]

||I Hate Volkner, he never Refresh Electric Terrain||

[chilly flame]

Aquí

[red pendant]

...anyone?

[chilly flame]

What’s up

[red pendant]

I am still struggling with the Surge battle

at this point, I am now using a team consisting of BP Surge, SS Elesa and SS Hilda

[atomic rain]

just do like 300

[red pendant]

I am doing at 250

and I am STILL struggling

[haughty haven]

200

[atomic rain]

thats weird

[main pulsar]

Volkner is like

[chilly flame]

What team are you using

[main pulsar]

Really rough

Because they can surprise electric move you

And crying happens

[red pendant]

at this point, I am now using a team consisting of BP Surge, SS Elesa and SS Hilda

[haughty haven]

You will get more point from less attack

[chilly flame]

Ah

[atomic rain]

me when discharge hits for 1.2k

[chilly flame]

Do you have BP Clemont

[azure idol]

What other electric pair you have?

[red pendant]

already used him up

[main pulsar]

E terrain be like

[atomic rain]

well im pretty sure they would be using v create and not searing shot

i hope at least

[red pendant]

plus, he was part of an older team against Surge, and that team ALSO failed

[azure idol]

BP Surge doesn't do much in that team

[chilly flame]

Have you already used Sophocles

Regular, not BP

[atomic rain]

sophocles should be used on elesa

pretty sure they dont have celesa

[red pendant]

yes

[azure idol]

OG Surge?

[red pendant]

I do, but I already used her elsewhere

[atomic rain]

wait then who did you use soph for

[azure idol]

OG Surge to debuff himself

[red pendant]

CElesa

[atomic rain]

first it was elesa on elesa violence now its surge on surge violence

[atomic rain]

…so you used both of them on elesa?

[red pendant]

no, I used CElesa elsewhere

[haughty haven]

Make me wonder when Fire High Score happen, if 1 condition is Burn Enemy, Will someone use SS Hilda Searing shot just for that conditon?

[red pendant]

I used CElesa on Marnie

[atomic rain]

i feel like you could just use a def buffer

[atomic rain]

but she doesnt have hostile environment iirc?

[azure idol]

Surge is special oriented

[haughty haven]

10% Burn

[red pendant]

for context, my Marnie team was H!Jasmine/Hau/C!Elesa

[azure idol]

Just reset for turn 1 burn lol

[red pendant]

hah, I'd be lucky if I get ANY burn at all

[chilly flame]

But anyways don’t use this one

[atomic rain]

hostile environment 3

[chilly flame]

Surge: 500
Volkner: 400
Elesa: 400
Clemont: 600
Marnie: 450

[atomic rain]

on a 10% burn chance spread move

bruh

4/5 he3 too brw

[cyan tusk]

Satisfied snicker is for the rewards

Since you stock more debuffs

[atomic rain]

snitcher?

[chilly flame]

Snicker

[main pulsar]

Snickers

[cyan tusk]

Sorry, edited both

[haughty haven]

But my team already weak, so i need more survive too

[red pendant]

oh boy, now I gotta find a way to grid that

[haughty haven]

I need that Mind Game 2

[azure idol]

Btw I use MG2 on NC Blue because I can't afford mind games on SS Hau's grid

[atomic rain]

dont

[main pulsar]

Gimme bluereeeeeeeee

[atomic rain]

that shit is literally useless

[main pulsar]

Please

[cyan tusk]

Im attempting again the 1K run but I’ll be running a different grid on Vkris and dc2 as LS

[red pendant]

...wait, SS Hilda doesn't even have Hostile Environment

[atomic rain]

she does

[haughty haven]

She has

[atomic rain]

but 4/5

aka its fucking useless

[haughty haven]

but why y grid it

[main pulsar]

Why bother relighting it when ur already 1k?

Also how does defense crush help you if u have 3 spatk

🤔

[haughty haven]

More debuff = more point

[azure idol]

It increases debuff score

[main pulsar]

O

Big brain

[haughty haven]

it like 18 more debuff

[azure idol]

However Marnie team loves using def buff so you have to be really lucky

[cyan tusk]

Bc I know that’s an easy run honeslty, and I can add more debuffs to get more points

[atomic rain]

1k strength?

[main pulsar]

Easy run wow

I salute you

[haughty haven]

IDK why Marnie raise Def Buff in a stage anti physical move

[atomic rain]

[haughty haven]

[main pulsar]

They reeeeeeeally don’t want you to use sstred lmfao

[red pendant]

yeah, mine is 3/5

[azure idol]

To stop you from using DC2

[cyan tusk]

Yes bc the team is busted the opponents are fully atk debuffed and I already have the grip of the run

So I’m kinda use to how to run it

[main pulsar]

He is simply better!

[red pendant]

...oh, lmao, I don't even have Scorching Sync gridded on her in the first place

[main pulsar]

But yeah her using xdefense all is the best

[red pendant]

I don't even NEED a burn

[main pulsar]

It’s so great

[haughty haven]

GL Bicio, i saw Irida is near you

[main pulsar]

2 turns I don’t have to make hau evade

[atomic rain]

oh wait you know what

searing shot is 30%

[haughty haven]

So with HE3, it becomes 10% burn ?

[atomic rain]

against one target it is guaranteed

against 3 its 60%

but still bad and not worth cuz knowing how 5/5 grids are its 10 energy

[haughty haven]

Yeah, rather bring burn user

[azure idol]

Just reset for 15% burning center

[whole finch]

+500
Clemont EX is worth it

I am now 267k
Thanks, #1128052735967764621

Damn that’s crazy

Ex clemont did that much damage?

[whole finch]

Yeee

[atomic rain]

in terrain with max speed i assume

[whole finch]

Of course

[atomic rain]

and tm guarantees crit which is nice

[whole finch]

[main pulsar]

Did you debuff accuracy

[atomic rain]

clemont has a good nuke its just nonexistent dps and pretty impractical setup

[atomic rain]

dps

[whole finch]

Yeah

[atomic rain]

doesnt matter

[main pulsar]

[whole finch]

But not -6

[main pulsar]

Why not?

But hey, i'm Master #419 now

Then we can take this

But Unironically I agree

That would be a neat incentive to 5:5

And it’s not too much of a urgh like 5/5 grids are

[whole finch]

That would make people whale more

And give more stonks to DeNA

[haughty haven]

Dena will stonk

[main pulsar]

I support supporting the game

Just not too much

[haughty haven]

And stop lower free gems

[main pulsar]

[chilly flame]

Locking energy increase behind copies would be an awful idea

[main pulsar]

It’s all increasing the ceiling though isn’t it

Not the floor

I don’t see how that’s a bad thing

[whole finch]

[main pulsar]

Enlighten us

[cyan tusk]

Thx, btw I did the run with dc2 both on Vkris and NCBlue

[azure idol]

If they ever increase energy limit it will be a new item and locked behind gacha

[cyan tusk]

Got to -4 def to all the 3 but just 1K points more

[azure idol]

Like the cake

[main pulsar]

Move copies would be nicer

[signal needle]

I was finally able to do better on Vs Volkner by making the counter intuitive decision of dumping Marnie for Sophocles

[main pulsar]

Levels*

[signal needle]

Now i can keep pushing since my team was full healtj

[main pulsar]

Marnie is holding you back how?

[signal needle]

Ye it was a hassle to build around her

Meant i could not get that 3000 points Alola or Unova

[main pulsar]

I used elesa alongside her so I didn’t have that issue

[whole finch]

Does CHop SCS Give power up tickets? i think i can EX BP Clemont for increasing this

[signal needle]

And seems flinch allows me to compensate for not being on type

[signal needle]

I cudnt afford tht so

[main pulsar]

Ic

Side note

What event gives marnie free powerup tickets

[signal needle]

Same rewards aa nc red ya

[main pulsar]

Because I looked and realized I had a lot at base

[signal needle]

Leon Story event

[main pulsar]

I see

[whole finch]

Alright cool cool, i might EX BP Clemont

[main pulsar]

That’s why she’s 16/20

[signal needle]

Or maybe it was Yell and Cheer

Idk which one

[onyx crystal]

[cyan tusk]

@mortal timber I might be needing you

[mortal timber]

At your service

Good timing cuz I am back home

Like now

[cyan tusk]

I just wanna know how you scored 70+ with sstred soph bp Clemont on surge bc my 67K run seems to have no improvement

I wanna try for 400K, I miss so little

[mortal timber]

Dang already there, almost 400 haha

Ok so

Lemme open the tablet and see which strength cuz then I can remember what I did

Oh I did 72.990 points there

I used 540 strength

And I insta max move turn 1 immediately into zing zap flinches

BP Clemont sync first cuz ex supp

And after that it's red attacking and syncing

And by spamming screeches and TMS

I managed to get fewer hits

And also debuffs ofc

[cyan tusk]

Oh i got the issue

[mortal timber]

I hope this was helpful in some ways

[cyan tusk]

That’s the issue

[mortal timber]

A

HAHAHAHHAHA

[cyan tusk]

And this is game changing

[mortal timber]

Yeah I try to use max move not for dmg

But as ramping

[cyan tusk]

Also, what grid have you been using on sstred?

[mortal timber]

A standard one with cakewalk and speed debuffs so far

[cyan tusk]

Did you get the speed drop? Or just leave it to soph?

So you did not get max conductivity?

[mortal timber]

Haymaker ofc

And no

Not yet max conductivity

[cyan tusk]

And you did not ran out of et?

[mortal timber]

Ofc but I reset that

[cyan tusk]

Was it a pre sync clear?

[mortal timber]

No

At 540 they do be very bulky

And consider Sophocles bulk too

I am a bit close for him to faint on sync

So consider that meanwhile pushing for more strength

Lemme check one more thing tho

Cuz I ain't sure

Lol I knew it

My BP Clemont for some reason has hs1

Even before this event

[chilly flame]

bro is speed running

[whole finch]

Bro is hungry or power

[chilly flame]

I also hit 70k+ with that team, this was my grid for red

[mortal timber]

Btw rip the dream of strength 1000 with hau bicio

He faints

Will see if around 950 or a bit more is the actual limit for him

[whole finch]

https://tenor.com/view/agony-gif-23084585

does +1 points really do something?

especially for something like this

[mortal timber]

On like adding +1 to enemies?

[whole finch]

yeah

+1 strength

[cyan tusk]

Mine has steel guard

[mortal timber]

I see

[cyan tusk]

Btw I already went 70K, now I’m trying 550 with your tactic

[mortal timber]

+1 not that much, just a lil bit, like the points

[cyan tusk]

Rip auto corrector

[mortal timber]

Gl buddy

You got this

Remember to immediately max move as you enter in the field

[chilly flame]

thats interesting

Is it a significant difference?

[mortal timber]

Considering surge hits you mostly with steel stuff yes

Like flash cannon

Iirc

You tank those better

[whole finch]

I think he's doing it rn

[mortal timber]

Not ofc syncs

It doesn't work there

[chilly flame]

yea ik he'll tank the moves better, but by how much

is basically what im asking

[mortal timber]

Dunno the numbers

[mortal timber]

That was fast my friend hahahha

[cyan tusk]

Soph even died with sync move lmao

[mortal timber]

[cyan tusk]

Bp Clemont ended it with a sliver of health which was enough to endure the steel beam

I think I can squeeze a little bit bc if no swift hits me before sync

Maybe soph can survive

[mortal timber]

Swift is a nightmare yeah

Well done tho

Super fast and super optimal

[cyan tusk]

Yeah same teams just a little more optimisation

Also on elesa, with right flinch luck from sonia it’s not that hard to get more points

[mortal timber]

Dang look at that

Eh I need to flinch more Elesa ngl

But I am attacking her with my zebstrika

Soooo I hope the dmg is enough hahah

[cyan tusk]

Well you do more dmg with sync moves

Don’t forget I’m attacking with N. 5/5 one but it’s always N

[whole finch]

https://tenor.com/view/omg-awkward-wtf-evil-eyes-dog-eyes-gif-15700379

[cyan tusk]

His sync is miserable compared to elesa, and if you have classic elesa time your last sync with ET

[whole finch]

I don't know that 400k is possible

[mortal timber]

I am using Volkner there

Sonia Elesa Volkner

[whole finch]

Bicio what rank are you rn?

[chilly flame]

I think he’s first lol

[mortal timber]

He is

Always has been

[forest panther]

@onyx crystal We're together

(if you don't mind editting the points displayed in the pinned dmg please, I won't go for minor upgrades now outside a potential rehaul)

[cyan tusk]

But shortly will not be anymore

The Hilda guy is still outside hiding over there

[mortal timber]

Oh yeah

Dw soon or later I will fall too

[forest panther]

Nah you keep it

[mortal timber]

Comfy for now in 4th

Keywords: for now

😂

[cyan tusk]

Nah, I don’t think so and it’s fine, posting my tactics here and there so somebody can grab inspo and do better

So that the community keeps growing and grinding

[onyx crystal]

[forest panther]

Yeah I got inspiration from you on the Volkner stage (credited in my reddit post), appreciate it
And same, I prefer sharing, even added a write-up to help out

[mortal timber]

Me farming Marnie stage till 950 as we speak

All thanks to you haha

[cyan tusk]

I have the grids up on the #1131333081870118982 message

Fun fact: these are the actual grids I have been using now to squeeze more points lmao

Unbending sstred im looking at you

[mortal timber]

Hahahaha

[cyan tusk]

(From a failed attempt to the Moltres solo lmao)

[mortal timber]

The unbending caught me off guard lol

[forest panther]

Yeah I did notice, though it doesn't apply much to me since my busted stuff are 1/5

[cyan tusk]

LG residual

[mortal timber]

[cyan tusk]

My Clemont had stalwart instead of steel guard lol

[mortal timber]

Alright

Time to test now

And see where is the limit of Alolan Raichu

Let's start with 970

If he survives syncs constantly that's my limit on Marnie

[cyan tusk]

Make sure to be +6 def -6 atk and to not get snarled

[mortal timber]

Dang hau still faints at 970

[cyan tusk]

Hau has really low HP

Like base hp

[mortal timber]

Yeah honestly

It's a miracle I am making it this far with him

So proud of this chubby rat ❤️

[cyan tusk]

Try with this

Yea I just grabbed every hp and defense node lmao

[mortal timber]

HAHAHAHAHHA

Dude I swear if this works

I swear buddy

[cyan tusk]

Im not a 6EX alolan raichu Haver so he’s been benched and cheering to the others 📣

[cyan tusk]

Im using all the aces upon my sleeves

[mortal timber]

Imma try it after this lil try

[cyan tusk]

My bp Clemont has a similar grid

[mortal timber]

Only respect for you man

[cyan tusk]

I might be throwing 5* ppu to Sophocles to tank surge’s sync

No I’m not he can die for me lmao

[mortal timber]

[maiden canopy]

Should I reset to lose my sanity on Surge with higher STR?

I wanna try 525 STR on him

Gonna fish for that Leg Up + 3 or more Breathtaking MPRs

[rough forum]

That sounds a bit insane

[atomic spade]

Hi all - do Marnie and Elesa do their paralyzing moves at specific intervals or do I just need to always be afraid of them?

[cyan tusk]

Specific

Marnie pre sync elesa post sync

[mortal timber]

with this hau survives till 950

now it's a matter of getting flinches hahah

it would be a pog improvement

[atomic spade]

Greatly appreciated!

[main pulsar]

This is adorable

Aaaaa

[mortal timber]

JUST DID 950 WITH THIS GRID

i think that's my limit on marnie's stage hahaha

tysm for the help

[main pulsar]

Do you have a pikachu rub or a rowlet rub

@mortal timber what do put on toge in sstred clear

[mortal timber]

UHHHHHH

i just checked

cuz i am doing it

it has uh

unbending

[main pulsar]

Okie

Thenks

Insert rub I’m desperate to have

Wait a sec I should ask what is the grid for our good friend red

And everyone tbh

[cyan tusk]

570 and SSTred is struggling to go beyond

🧠 time

[mortal timber]

i did 580 but you did 500 points better lol, gonna optimize the same strength another day

reclaimed my comfy 4th place like that

[cyan tusk]

Honestly I won with all 3 still alive so I could have endured a couple of hits more but it’s really too RNG heavy

[mortal timber]

mine with hs1 died (clemont) but sopho lived by like 10 hp

[cyan tusk]

Bc Clemont can be hit only by gyro ball or swift but If you get hit by swift you have to roll low sync dmg on Soph

[mortal timber]

yeah makes sense

[cyan tusk]

Don’t think I’m gonna try again for now, I’ll try to bump Volkner a bit

[mortal timber]

my volkner is in shambles hahaha

ss elesa marnie 2/5 nemona 3/5

a miracle i did 60k points on that

[cyan tusk]

Imma try a different marnie grid

With staggering 2 on thundershock

[mortal timber]

i was running staggering 3 on nemona here

[cyan tusk]

And maybe, maybe

Ok I was still asleep once I did the run

[mortal timber]

hahaahha

[lunar loom]

@onyx crystal could you add me to the pins please? Thanks for the teams bicio

[main pulsar]

Vigilance marnie

Hm

[cyan tusk]

LG stuff

Nvm

[main pulsar]

Nvm?

[shy flower]

Stands for "never mind", as in don't worry about it

[main pulsar]

Okey

[cunning shore]

I don't know if I want to keep increasing my score
I have too many low move levels

[onyx crystal]

why can't volkner just let me win

like just forfeit. and let me end this hell

[main pulsar]

So

True

[full lark]

I have realized something.

All of the stages let you use your opponent against themselves in some form with little to no issue…except Marnie

[main pulsar]

No?

I wouldn’t use colkner agaisjt volkner

And doesn’t clemont have anti regular clemont

[lunar loom]

I don't think i'll be trying volkners stage again I'll try for point increases on everyone else but i cant take any more random crit discharges nuking marnie after missing 3 times

[full lark]

That’s why I added the “in some form” that I should have stated initially

[cyan tusk]

Why? His random AoE crits are so nice

[full lark]

Fair enough

[cyan tusk]

Really. My elesa is really enjoying them.

[main pulsar]

Oh well I guess the others have way more electric alts so fair enough

[main pulsar]

I understand your pain

We all do

Also is it just my discord or does my medal only appear for some of my messages

[cyan tusk]

And also me resetting for staggering 2 to proc on marnie just once

I had to check the grid to make sure I got it

[main pulsar]

Get crit on that run too

[cyan tusk]

https://youtu.be/KsIF9fcVXF8?si=hrsACeVKG0ozwqZJ

Me, rn

[sturdy glen]

yeah this time it's too whale friendly...
and spotlight pairs are not great for high scores

it's so joever

[main pulsar]

I have also backed out of the fight and checked

[cyan tusk]

FINALLY

[main pulsar]

How high can you go without hjasmine?

Woah what was that

[cyan tusk]

Wrong paste

@onyx crystal updated #1131333081870118982 message with new overall points and strenght

[cyan tusk]

In this specific fight HJasmine is like everything

[main pulsar]

Damn

[cyan tusk]

Elesa needs to be at +6 spdef to tank the sync, marnie is focus on the mid and also adds debuff due to 5/5 tiles, elesa chip the sides and nukes

HJasmine is basically a punching ball/potion bot/pray for tm MPR

[main pulsar]

Guess I won’t be going higher then she seems too important

[cunning shore]

My 1/5 Marnie just hits beatup all battle till it's over
Very special Marnie

[cyan tusk]

Do you already have the medal from the water hs? If so, just 180K and get it done

[onyx crystal]

Ask you shall receive

[onyx crystal]

[cyan tusk]

You can do better

[onyx crystal]

Wait what strength was yours

[cyan tusk]

540 now

500 was the first attempt

But honestly I do see 560/570 too, I’m just too tired to try now but I will

[onyx crystal]

I dun wanna upgrade elesa 🫠

[warm kayak]

5/5 Variety Kris holy

[mortal timber]

Forgot to send this, was too happy, 950 strength!

[cyan tusk]

also because I need to get to 415K total so my coupon counts goes back to normal

[warm kayak]

everyone dabbing on Marnie huh

[cyan tusk]

To 150?

[onyx crystal]

Ya

[cyan tusk]

Yesss, gg!!

[mortal timber]

[cyan tusk]

fair enough, nowdays I only upgrade to 150 for hs/Lg purposes

All faves are already 150

(And all faves means all Cynthias/Morty/stevens)

[warm kayak]

is Tapu 5/5 required for these high clears?

[cyan tusk]

The irida guy is not scary anymore, I’ll leave him with the Emma guy

[cyan tusk]

3/5 is enough

Mine was 4/5 but I used a 3/5 grid

[mortal timber]

Leave the Emma to me Frfr, imma totally reach it

I think I can only get close lol

[warm kayak]

i was looking at the 950 one

since you used a character i dont have iirc

in fact, every of your teams except the first one has something i dont have

[mortal timber]

3/5 imo is more than enough

[cyan tusk]

Tapu/Vkris is highly recommended bc high points comes from electrorepulsion3 on NCBlue

Always up

[warm kayak]

i dont have Vkris sadly

[cyan tusk]

You might try with og Volkner but you will need a really good striker/tech to provide dmg otherwise

Bc Volkner is gonna do 0 dmg

[warm kayak]

Dabbo did this

[cyan tusk]

Yes but sshau is also providing really good damage and terrain

[warm kayak]

oh right, does Blue need the Role candy?

or do sides just die

[mortal timber]

i did it without

with ofc helps more

[cyan tusk]

Role candy is helpful but not compulsory

[mortal timber]

yeah

[cyan tusk]

I did with but bc my blue was already caked bf the event

and and also robbed me for that candy

[warm kayak]

i don't spend much on the game so

3k per roll would bankrupt me

and good thing I didn't, because I went to pity twice on newest MF

i will wait a week or so before attempting HS, but I have my eyes on that high point Marnie clear 👀

[main pulsar]

Zeen would be sad

[robust lintel]

Don't know if I should improve something

Maybe using Hau instead of rotom might be better?

[eternal harbor]

Are my 2 remaining support candies worth it for NC Blue? Is the upgrade substantial?
I hit 255k anyway but my NC Blue clear has less than 50k and it bothers me

[robust lintel]

I was also thinking about upgrading rats to 3/5

[onyx crystal]

Total Score: 356,736 -- Rank 12 as of <t:1694821020:f>

• STR 500 vs Lt. Surge Grids
• STR 500 vs Volker Grids
• STR 500 vs Elesa Grids
• STR 550 vs Clemont Grids
• STR 700 vs Marnie Grids

[deft trout]

Can someone recommend me teams for 180k points? Did browse this channel but wanted team recommendations tailored to my pairs

[hardy fog]

Use the pinned doc to mix match

[keen kite]

Any thought on what type of score I should target. I feel 180k is out of reach - electric is one of my weaker types. Trying to strategize a target number before I start investing

[trim beacon]

give me ur PARAMETERS pls

[lunar loom]

Surge: 500 strength
Volkner: 400 strength
Elesa: 350 strength
Clemont: 550 strength
Marnie: 550 strength

I'm going to try for higher later on most of the stages

[trim beacon]

i thought i could win with 2/5 blue but i cant

[lunar loom]

3/5 is super important for the offensive debuffs

[trim beacon]

sobs

im doing dailies on his banner so i cant candy oh well

[lunar loom]

Hau survived with like 10%hp vs the first sync even with the offenses debuffed no chance without them

[trim beacon]

rip

i have 3/5 kris doe, does that help

[lunar loom]

yeah her nuke is great at 3/5

[tardy quartz]

@onyx crystal i’ll update this as I keep going:
Surge: 450
Volkner: 340
Elesa: 430
Clemont: 420
Marnie: 750

Currently Rank 36

[shy flower]

How well does normal Hau perform vs Marnie for you, Nick?

[tardy quartz]

He’s kind just there to do chip damage

I also put DC2 on him for some extra points

[shy flower]

[atomic hamlet]

the key to getting high scores is to just get lucky :>

[shy flower]

I don't have SS Hau, so I'm struggling to find a good third for NC Blue and NY Volkner there

[rancid perch]

I'm thinking I'm gonna have to use alolan raichu as a primary dps, don't have tapu koko

[tardy quartz]

My Marnie score can 100% go higher

It’s just a ton of RNG is the issue

[shy flower]

Blue's flinches aren't exactly reliable

Also, I notice a number of people are pairing Cl Elesa with N and Sonia vs Elesa. Should I swap her in in place of V Kris?

[tardy quartz]

I’m doing it for lack of VKris

[shy flower]

Oh

[sage crater]

This is my thunder team, i dont have any other good thunder, need help who should i swap for better overall score

[warm kayak]

you could level all chars to 150 for example

get Hau to 5/5 (he's a 4* unit)

EX Elesa

and overall EX damage dealers

these small changes would push you to a safe top 10k spot alone

[full lark]

I sincerely doubt level 150 on everyone would be required

140, I guess maybe, but 150 is unlikely to suddenly allow for top 10k if 140 doesn’t

[chilly flame]

What is MC cooking

[severe pollen]

Is Elek someone on the server?

[crimson python]

i dont think so

[sullen pier]

they are

[shy flower]

Looks like you got new competition Bicio

[atomic hamlet]

@outer yew :>

[crimson python]

oh hes inside

[tardy quartz]

I needed someone to Para that wasn’t a tech. Low and behold, MC.

[signal needle]

Lg #1 Samui also there

"We meet again"

[crimson python]

no 3?

[rigid steppe]

How are these teams?

[hardy fog]

Brave lt surge team

[onyx crystal]

Don't let marnie solo dps, add Elesa or another striker.
Use Sophocles for flinch.

[sage galleon]

I think I'll need some overhauling if I want to get all the rewards

[sage galleon]

Noted

[atomic rain]

bp clemont is better on surge

[shut garden]

Here are the stages i have left and the rest of my roster, any ideas for teams?

the only electric units i have left are sonia mchu bpsurge and elesa

[tardy quartz]

Updated the runs a bit

[tardy quartz]

Can I see your teams for the other runs?

[tardy quartz]

hmm

[shut garden]

marnie and red just carried their teams completely (red needed a bit of tanking but still) but for the second team shown i actually had to strategize

i can also get a bp electric unit if it helps

2 4 star vouchers left

[onyx crystal]

so just sonia, ss elesa, bp surge, and potionchu?

[shut garden]

yea

i was thinking of going sonia and potionchu for the stage where u can heal but i dont have any good damage dealers left that max their own crit

[onyx crystal]

Cynthia with Sonia. on Clemont.

[tardy quartz]

SS Elesa / May / BP Surge might work kind of well for Surge

[shut garden]

why may?

ou mean normal may right not anni may?

[tardy quartz]

Yeah

You have her 4/5, so access to full grid

[shut garden]

ill try it later when my battery charges

[shut garden]

my cynthia is 1/5

[onyx crystal]

Clemont is weak to ground at least.

[shut garden]

isnt she still too weak?

ill try it

thanks

[onyx crystal]

You can try ssRed as well.

Since it's already ex.

[chilly flame]

I’m actually stuck

I gotta beat clemont AND Elesa with just these

[stray dust]

Wow sand toes trying hard

[onyx crystal]

having to paralyze each target is annoying.

I did wind up going HE9 for Nemona.

[onyx crystal]

wait, where's Blue?

[chilly flame]

Used for Marnie

[shy flower]

Sonia + N + Volkner for Elesa maybe?

[chilly flame]

Tried that, even at 400 it’s a struggle

[candid cobalt]

Huh

[shy flower]

Pray for evasion hax with SS Elesa and Hau

[onyx crystal]

Volkner is the closest thing to simming cElesa.

[candid cobalt]

See this is why N is just sad rn
