High Score

[hollow prism]

Probably Lyra

[hardy fog]

just flinch the surf guys easy - skill issues 😂

[hollow prism]

With VMallow I have to full para the surfs

Major skill issue ik

[frank shore]

I see. Yeah, i even consider getting the 2k select to get brendan/sceptile to 3/5 since he eludes me

[hardy fog]

not worth it rewards for HS is sheeet

just get your 180k

[oak fulcrum]

Yeah I should say I’ve done a pretty low-reset 350k at the moment so I could definitely just get luckier with some of my clears

[hardy fog]

and call it a day hahah

[frank shore]

And I’m targeting at least 180k clear hehe. Would you mind elaborating which F2P pairs to increase its move levels? And is 3/5 enough, or some needs 5/5?

[hardy fog]

brah 180k easy hahaha

why dont you draft something we can help you improve

[oak fulcrum]

Also just going to put this out there because I’m maybe getting this impression, if you’re thinking of candying anything in genpool for HS, that’s not a great use of candy you will get all the 5/5s eventually

[hardy fog]

2 of your teams can get your 180k

[frank shore]

Sure. I’ll do it later and send it. Its 3AM here 😅

[hardy fog]

Gardenia - Mix red, SS Lyra, Dawn - 100-120K
Mallow - SS leaf, Selene, SS Acerola - 75-85K

then you do what ever you want for the others

[frank shore]

Yeah, thank you for reminder, but i’m not gonna do that. Probably just do one paid 2k select pull, or continue my mix scout pull.

[frank shore]

Thank you!!

[cunning shore]

[zealous elm]

Is Adaman better on Erika or Gardenia?

[chilly flame]

@cyan tusk How did you do that Ramos fight

I don’t understand the turn/sync order

[cyan tusk]

There’s elek video for it!

[hardy fog]

Noiiiice

[hardy fog]

Adaman is good on anyone just depends on your roster

[zealous elm]

How does this look? I'm thinking of slotting SSSonia on Erika's team, but I don't have any solid 2nd (Only Rosa, Gardenia, BPErika, LodgeSycamore and BPBarry left)

Or I guess I could also use EggmonLeafeon

[hardy fog]

Looks fine

You can refer to some of the pinned teams as well

For ideas

[zealous elm]

Pinned teams are waaay over my investment level

Wait, Erika's team is overlapping paralysis and poison

Guess I'll swap Erika for LodgeSycamore

[zealous elm]

Decent enough for trying the waters
1st attempt with everyone on 200 str, will try to raise all of them, teams had a lotta HP left

[hardy fog]

Gw

[cyan tusk]

That’s it for today… 1 more coupon and my number will be rounded

[outer whale]

Bicio....

Are you ok?

[hardy fog]

You sick human

[cyan tusk]

Sure

[outer whale]

Are you sure?

[cyan tusk]

Actually rng was on my side tonight

That’s 850 Ramos lol

3 paralysis

[hardy fog]

You just need to swap nc leaf out

[cyan tusk]

But I have no more debuffers and Erika hits like a truck lol

[outer whale]

More dps then

Switch NCLeaf out for Brendan

[cyan tusk]

Or I could try Hsyca Brendan SSErika

But I don’t think this team could outperform 1K strength Erika

Also SSErika is fine where she is rn

Btw I might squeeze a couple of points more on round 5 but it’s a tomorrow problem

[atomic rain]

is there no vileplume

[cyan tusk]

Tell that to Exeggutor, I was ready to eat 4 hyper beams

[outer whale]

There is but doesn't know hyper beam

[cyan tusk]

Well there’s a victrebeel that know hyper beam

And Erika also has a victrebeel in the og game

Btw there’s a lot of stuff that hyper beams in this event

[outer whale]

GOD IS HERE.

[cyan tusk]

Fun fact there’s no Shauna here lol

[hardy fog]

I never realize how good she is till this HS

She is like the goddess of single target moves

[cyan tusk]

Yes but she screws the sync countdown which is essential in hs

Like most of my failed attempt were by skill issue

Not able to quad queue after sync sucks

[atomic rain]

i thought she has the node that does -1 when leaving a defensive position

[cyan tusk]

also Lyra and her sun disappearing and ruining my quad and queue

[cyan tusk]

It’s one shot

Just the first spiky shield

[atomic rain]

i guess thats an issue

unless you wanna rng sunny propulsion on ss erika but at that point thats lg levels of rng

[cyan tusk]

But also I should be changing too much stuff

Only fit I could squeeze her is instead of Dawn but Dawn would be going to bench

[atomic rain]

yeah dawn feels meh

[cyan tusk]

And also gardenia’s clear cannot be improved anymore bc it’s alt ready 1K

[atomic rain]

no offensive buffs is very eh

now that i look at it

grass really also lacks non limited supports

[cyan tusk]

Nah, fire was way worst

Ok non limited it’s fine

But overall fire was the worst in terms of support, followed by electric

Like after ncblue or HJasmine/sonia, we were tanking with lodge elesa lol

[atomic rain]

bulk of a tissue

[hardy fog]

How did you know that was my plan 😂

[atomic rain]

i had a hunch

[hardy fog]

It's not too bad Erika procs propulsion more often than you think

[atomic rain]

only 30%?

[hardy fog]

I mean it procs WAaaaaAAAAY more than SS acerola tm

Same % but in game its diff

[cyan tusk]

But for every action

[atomic rain]

yeah true

[hardy fog]

Lol it's like what Blaze said

[chilly flame]

This damn Ramos fight

[cyan tusk]

And we still went 80K more with her

[hardy fog]

Mpr3 is 3/100

[chilly flame]

He crit both mallow and Rosa with surf

AAAAAAAAAA

[cyan tusk]

Ppl were tanking with surge
Of surge and electrode

[hardy fog]

Yo you just need to roll no Surf run hahaha that's the secret

AND IT CAN BE DONE

[atomic rain]

nah i heard people got use out of him cuz of eerie impulse and solid nuke

[chilly flame]

He can do surf like once or twice

[atomic rain]

is ramos the nessa of this hse

[cyan tusk]

Actually surf is not that bad if your meganium has light screen up

[atomic rain]

shitting aoes out the ass

[cyan tusk]

And also let me tell you a secret

[chilly flame]

No he’s the Misty of this HS

[atomic rain]

oh even better

[chilly flame]

Remember how you had to reset almost any time she hit blizzard

[atomic rain]

i hated her so fucking much

[cyan tusk]

Grass guard Vmallow and Water guard Lyra

[atomic rain]

i did 500

with archie

i hated every goddamn second of it

he could take 1 blizzard

[hardy fog]

Well the electrode run you are talking about is because sst red run out of terrain anyway so you don't need an op tank

[atomic rain]

and then he dies

i also did it with 3* misty

[cyan tusk]

Remember when I had to grid barricade buddies on sskris

[atomic rain]

so thats kind of my fault

but like

it was horrible

[cyan tusk]

Bc f*cking -2 spdef from Archie tm

[atomic rain]

no ss kris genuinely made it so awful

also no status was just rude af

cuz archie has PS5

so thats like 30% less damage

[hardy fog]

They should make more HS like the grass. It's easier to achieve higher numbers

[atomic rain]

also

muddy water

not being 100% accurate

my clear

every one died except may

and i had to clench for evasion but she did it

and this was like 1 am

[chilly flame]

Now imagine me with no SS Kris at the time

[atomic rain]

before reset

[chilly flame]

Having to bank of multiple Misty TM MPR

[atomic rain]

yah misty was horrid without ss kris

[chilly flame]

She was horrid even with Kris

Kris just made it more bearable

[atomic rain]

genuinely one of the most unfun fights ive ever experienced

[atomic rain]

yeah i mean

[hardy fog]

Water looked like a lot of fun to me though 😂 I didn't have many pairs then

[atomic rain]

i did 500 str on her with archie may and 3* misty

[cyan tusk]

Time to go to bed
don’t forget to pull Iono bc electric hs rerun is watching at you

[atomic rain]

and ngl i wanted to throw myself off a bridge

i think it was the only time ive legitimately tryharded

this game

[hardy fog]

Night bro

[atomic rain]

because i wanted the medal so damn bad

then

it turns out it wasnt enough

so i started punching 300 str lana out of spite

i think if you go back to july last year

you can see me documenting my suffering

[sturdy glen]

omg no...
constantly ruined quad queue meta
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 😭

[chilly flame]

The first game I replace vigilance for water guard I get crit by surf again

I hate this game

[main pulsar]

Electric high score rerun

You really think they’ll do that?

[hardy fog]

No Bicio is just being lame and wants everyone else to with him

And prob he needs an excuse to himself for pulling.

[hollow prism]

I can’t wait for them to redo the only Type HS with a key unit they’re never going to rerun so there no chance i’m ever going to be able to place in it

[hardy fog]

@mortal timber I see you climbing. Show us what you are cooking

[sturdy glen]

i think that it's more logical to combine 2/3 type together
instead of rerunning a single type

even because some types needs of a loooooooooong time to be ready

[hardy fog]

Hopium have you started? Haven't seen your roster

[sturdy glen]

didnt had the time to fully tryhard yet
even because im hoping of getting some rosa or sonia copies from the mix
instead of using the candies

rn im at 335k

[hardy fog]

I see I see

SC Rosa and SC Sonia from mix. Wishful thinking though 😂

[cunning shore]

Man I want lotsa units from mix

I only get red or 3*

Stopped trying though, my saved gems taking a hit

[sturdy glen]

lol i have an entire wishlist for that

like 20 pairs iirc

[hollow prism]

I’m never going to double pity on mix in one cycle again

[cunning shore]

Dunno if I wanna reach pity while it's still red

[hollow prism]

My first pity was so generous

And my second one had no joke like 3 exclusive units total

[cunning shore]

Yeeeee i got lucky with red

Extremely lucky

And I prefer to stop there

[hardy fog]

So. You are not just ing this HS you are this HS. Brother, without you we would not have HS so thank you 😂

[hollow prism]

☠️

Idk if i actually spend enough to be considered a whale lol, probably a large dolphin

And once this HS is over i’m going to start spending way less

[chilly flame]

Link is an eyewitness to how shitty my luck is

[hollow prism]

I just got an Erika run where I died one flare blitz away from winning

I’m like 8 hours deep into this clear

[chilly flame]

Me but with Ramos

I’ve had 6 instances where I could’ve won but I got crit

[acoustic tendon]

finally he didn't use surf. can probably go higher but I'm happy with that for now

[hardy fog]

Bro 8 hours. That’s my whole run 😂 the dedication is insane gents

[hardy fog]

70k is solid for Ramos if you don’t redo I don’t blame you

[acoustic tendon]

I swear brendan had me believing leaf storm was a 30% accurate move sometimes

you guys think it'd be worth it to move Victor to Cilan so I could use SS Erika on Erika? then I guess I'd move selene to Gardenia

just don't know how well ss Erika would do without someone setting sun for her

[main pulsar]

Hallo guys I need help

What do I put on ramos

@hardy fog le ideas?

[hardy fog]

All of those as your choice?

[main pulsar]

Yis

I have used pykuos teams for cilan and

Uh

Erika

[hardy fog]

Nc blue 😂

[main pulsar]

Yikes

Who should be the dps

[hardy fog]

None of those tanks are good for Ramos haha… maybe OG Erika

[main pulsar]

Wow my options suck

What is a good tank for him

[hardy fog]

Wait wait let’s see the full comp

[main pulsar]

Wot do you wanna see?

[hardy fog]

like the rest of your teams

[main pulsar]

They’re not complete but the accerola one is

For gardenia I’m planning to throw whatever I have left

For mallow im@coping that selene is a good unit

[hardy fog]

Selene I was happy with haha

ok you can try these 2 comps I think good value.

[main pulsar]

Plan for now

But like Ramos is not doable

[hardy fog]

SS Ace, Selene, SS Leaf
LBlue, Adaman, Mallow

that's 170k - 190K

[main pulsar]

So you wanna move ss erika around?

[hardy fog]

yea free up ss erika that made a big diff for me haha

[main pulsar]

Nightmarish to use her without drought alert tbh but I get it

Not gonna like it though

Where should I use sserika tho

[hardy fog]

well if you like suffering you can get 75k ncleaf, ss erika, shauna

hahaha

dawn, ss lyra, egg

[main pulsar]

My sslyra can’t nuke tho

I don’t think that team will do any damage

[hardy fog]

dam its 1/5

the thing is Dawn and SS Ace needs to abuse terrain

you dont have terrain on Dawn team

maybe like Brendan / SS Lyra and Dawn?

[main pulsar]

I kinda wanna slot ssacerola and sslyra together

But that might be overkill

Neither are 3/5 tho

[hardy fog]

1 team left

do you have NC Blue? or no

[main pulsar]

I do actually

[hardy fog]

like this then

[chilly flame]

Don’t do that

[main pulsar]

Too much?

[hardy fog]

sec

Ramos - NC Blue / SC Rosa / Ramos
Erika - NC Leaf / Shauna / SS Erika
Mallow - SS Ace / Selene / SS leaf
Gardenia - Dawn / SS Lyra / Brendan
Cilan - Adaman / Mallow / LBlue

Conservative - 50K, 65K, 80K, 65K, 85K

I expect to see 340K+ from you 😂

[main pulsar]

Why is ssacerola not good with Sakura doh

How the heck

Sslyra

[hardy fog]

no need

the sync cycle for that run is. Ace, Selene, Ace, Selene, Win

[main pulsar]

Muh extension

[hardy fog]

you always have Terrain up

[main pulsar]

What strength for selene team

[hardy fog]

I did 725

[main pulsar]

No my ace doesn’t have green thumb

[hardy fog]

but I have 5/5 SS Leaf

[main pulsar]

That’s not happening

[hardy fog]

so I reckon 650 is doable

o sheet

lets have a look at the levels.. give me sec

[main pulsar]

I guessssssss I can candddyyyyy hererer but I don’t lioioooke herrrrrrrrr

[hardy fog]

wait I cant see

move levels

[main pulsar]

Le scam

[hardy fog]

o 2/5

yea def candy. UNLEASH THE ACE

[main pulsar]

Ack

Lemme check if I have an excuse not to

(If I have a support I like)

I would lie and say nccalem or ncrosa but I am perfectly happy with them at 1/5 so

[hardy fog]

I mean I dont recommend candying for HS. but its Ace and she is already 2/5

[main pulsar]

Fck

[hardy fog]

its almost a crime not to

[main pulsar]

I didn’t even ex her that’s how mid I find her

[hardy fog]

nc Calem only needs 2/5 for most LG clears

[main pulsar]

You did this

You made me do this

(Also I hate lg lol)

Oop ignore that

There we go

YOU DID THIS

[hardy fog]

hahah good investment

1 candy to get all the nodes

you wont regret

[main pulsar]

Prolly not but as a 2/5 modern pokefair she genuinely underperforms for my standards and my standards are usually low

[hardy fog]

now go get that 85K mallow run

[main pulsar]

It’s one of those weird anomalies in units

Yes sir the grind is me

[hardy fog]

put DC2 on SS Leaf

[main pulsar]

Okay

You sync with ssleaf cuz 5/5 has power play rite

[hardy fog]

no no

I sync with Selene

Sync is Ace, Selene, Ace, Selene, Selene

[main pulsar]

Really? Whysat

[hardy fog]

its an easy run. The biggest pain is reseting for TM MPR

quad queue is important but thats for all stages

[main pulsar]

Ssleaf sync not a damager?

[rough ginkgo]

If she hasn’t buffed SpAtk it won’t hit remarkably hard

[hardy fog]

its mallow

no sp dmg any way

hahaha

[main pulsar]

Oh

I forgor

My bad

[hardy fog]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=012300072400&s0=5&l0=140&r0=5&p0=0&a0=13010602&t0=11111&g0=AAECAwQFFxkaGx8iKCstLw&v1=000701078700&s1=5&l1=140&r1=6&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=11111&g1=AAECAwQFGRocHR8gIiUoKg&v2=001710000300&s2=3&l2=140&r2=5&p2=0&a2=18040702&t2=1111&g2=AAECAwQFBgcICQsMDg8VFiMkJw

just reset for turn 1 poison and MPR refresh for Ace, then you will be fine

[main pulsar]

How much strength for ncleaf suffering

[hardy fog]

900

[main pulsar]

Oh

Oh well

I signed up for this

[hardy fog]

That was sooooo hype @hollow prism congrats

[hollow prism]

Ty

[chilly flame]

@cyan tusk This shit took me almost 9 hours

[outer whale]

can confirm

[main pulsar]

Wowzers

[rough ginkgo]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-kieran-pokemon-kieran-silly-pokemon-scarlet-and-violet-gif-15316828075562324294

[hardy fog]

Yooooo dang I missed the close

[sleek crystal]

Out of ramos,cilan and gardenia who's the most annoying

[stray comet]

What grid should I use for Lodge Sycamore vs Gardenia?

[cyan tusk]

Gg btw!

[stray comet]

And what grid should I use for Dawn versus Gardenia

[hardy fog]

Check pinned grading doc there are some example grids

[cyan tusk]

We don’t need excuse to pull

[hardy fog]

Haha well have you got it yet

BTW do you think nc leaf ss Erika Shauna can do 1000 or nah

I think Erika will die to sync

[cyan tusk]

Yes, just 2 multies

Stopping at 1/5 as usual

[cyan tusk]

You have no defense buffs so no

[hollow prism]

Ok i’m looking at SCSonia’s grid rn

exactly wtf am I supposed to grab Bicio 😭 all of these tiles are crazy

And also spread out as far as physically possible

[cyan tusk]

You go too

Top

Left and right, you grab haymaker, locked on sync, twofer and furious brawn

[hollow prism]

I figured Top left was the way to go because it wasn’t spread out

This? Where does the rest of the energy go

2 power whip and a +Atk?

[cyan tusk]

Power whip mgr

Trust me you need it

[hollow prism]

Damn you’re really not dealing with Gauge bullshit lol

How many TM MPRs on Acerola are necessary

Please say only 1

[cyan tusk]

You need to spam bullet seed for points and heals and razor leaf for debuffs so also the others are craving gauge

The more you get the more defense you have

I usually go with one before sun right at the beginning

Wait for mpr

[hollow prism]

Ok thank god

[cyan tusk]

Sun snd 2nd

[hollow prism]

Who do you target first

And i assume sync is Acerola into all Sonia

[cyan tusk]

Now I have to unveil my secret

Sync is only acerola untill last one

You target the mid and debuff all with SSLeaf

[hollow prism]

bro there’s no way Grass is more valuable seriously

How is Sonia’s sync that bad

[cyan tusk]

Sonia’s sync is not bad but you need grassy terrain damage reduction and restoration to keep going the whole fight

You can actually survive 2 sync if SSLeaf refresh some stuff

[hollow prism]

Oh that’s to keep Acerola healthy

Wait is this based on Skill Gear passives?

[cyan tusk]

I only have sun damage reduction 5%

So I use it right before 2nd sync

[hollow prism]

This stage is going to be weak for me because my Skill Gear has 2 5% Grass DR passives

Which in the 3 grass stages is busted

But here? Yikes

I like how I was coping on trying to survive 2 syncs during Fire HS, to which everyone said that was cope, and now we can do it on like every stage at 800+ Str this HS 😭

[hardy fog]

I don’t have teams that can survive 2 syncs 😂

[hollow prism]

I think every single team I have can survive a second sync at 750

[hardy fog]

VMallow Hsycamore diff

[hollow prism]

SS Leaf and Dawn too

Actually I lied Blue Adaman SS Erika def can’t

Actually maybe they could

[hardy fog]

O dawn team can yea

[cyan tusk]

Dawn team has to be full hp which is not that easy actually

[hollow prism]

What type of moves are you most afraid of on Mallow

Or is Vigilance too important

[hardy fog]

Do you think 2/5 mix red can get 110k and so I can call it a day at 450k 😂

[hollow prism]

I don’t know

How tf are you at 440k but you haven’t gotten 3/5 Mix red yet lol

Everyone that 9 pulls on that banner wishes he came less ☠️

[hardy fog]

I’m at… 220/400 😢

[cyan tusk]

She has shadow claw

50% crit

And uses if after sync

So…. You know

[hardy fog]

Vigilance?

[cyan tusk]

Yes

[hollow prism]

EWW why does this stage have the worst moves ever to deal with

[hardy fog]

I took Vigi and felt the run was much more consistent but tm mpr still sucks

But I’m only like 93k

I’m coping with Selene

[hollow prism]

BRO SHE HAS EQ AFTER SYNC?

WHAT THE FUUUUU

WHY

[hardy fog]

I think Mallow is one of the easier stage just need mpr and no drain punch spam

It's quite consistent

[hollow prism]

I must be doing something wrong then

Or my strength is too high

[hardy fog]

What str 😂 you’ve been going crazy numbers this HS

[hollow prism]

Because even with Leaf getting her to -6 and an MPR refresh on Acerola i get hit for 800 on Sonia and then 500 on the follow up EQ

I was doing +800 which might be a bit too high

[hardy fog]

I did 725

But Selene

[hollow prism]

Yeah but like

Mallow is -6 atk. I have 5/5 leaf

Wtf is 500 dmg on EQ

[cyan tusk]

Need to queue a potion on ScSonia right after sync

[hardy fog]

Just potion

After sync. too slow

[cyan tusk]

And also have regen from Leaf tm up

Acerola has to spam bullet to be at as much hp as possible

Leaf is not an issue

[hardy fog]

I couldn't do enough dmg to finish 725. Then dropped tm mpr for potent toxin and it made the diff

O also what worked for me i reset for Poison first razor leaf. It made a huge difference if you can debuff 2nd turn onwards and that extra poison dmg from turn 1 helped me.

@outer yew this gear is uber! watched your Gardenia run. It's so smooth

[hollow prism]

Ok that EQ scared the shit out of me but that stage was super easy lol

One more stage until we hit the legendary 500k club

[hardy fog]

Nice work 👏

[cyan tusk]

Keep it going! I’m going to try to get a couple of points more on Cilan

I need 1 coupon to round up the number and I’m done

[hollow prism]

Idk if i can top 515k, i might have to settle for 510

Depends on just how much i’m willing to crank up that mallow score

[hardy fog]

That cilan score though Prob

[hollow prism]

Yeah 110k is nasty

I got it to +850

[hardy fog]

OK I'm going to just try hit 110k with 2/5 mix lols

[hollow prism]

I think 900 is possible if you’re willing to rip out a few hair follicles

And honestly if the JP player found a 1000 str clear it wouldn’t surprise me

[jade shell]

How many grass pkmn are also sun setter?

Leafeon
Meganium
Tapubulu

Anymore?

[hollow prism]

There are two leafeon pairs that have sun: SS Erika and Adaman

[jade shell]

Ok..thats 4.

[hollow prism]

Yep.

That’s It

💀

[jade shell]

So this is the 1st HSE where i definitely cant use 15 on-type and complete the challenge..

[cyan tusk]

5th sun has to be offtype

[hollow prism]

Unfortunately yes

[jade shell]

Wow

[hollow prism]

Or you’re taking a fat L on the condition

[jade shell]

I am a teeny bit surprised DeNA would put that as a challenge condition.

[hollow prism]

Fortunately the best team rn involves 3 grass units that don’t have sun so a lot of players spread the 4 sun users out across the other 4 stages

But yeah for casual players it’s hot trash

It was really hard for them to make a condition to be fair

We didn’t know what it could possibly be before hand because nothing had 5 units which met the condition

Like for example Fire HS could use Burn or Sun, and if we get Psychic HS Confusion could be a solid possibility

[jade shell]

Exactly. Other HSE are possible. It seems as if DeNA didnt think it through...or did they. 😏

[hollow prism]

Grass doesn’t have a good condition. Grass Terrain? Not really, and status isn’t as spread out as you’d expect

Sun is honestly the best they could do

[jade shell]

Next i would expect Ice HSE and everyone gotta offtype. 😂

[hollow prism]

Literally just a NC Red and Irida check

[jade shell]

Gotta split both of them up.

[jade shell]

I would say Sun OR Grass Terrain

Either or, you get 1k.

Then may i ask, what would give better yield, on-type multiplier? Or sun bonus?

[hardy fog]

Wooooot

2/5 red getting it done

Got an extra 10k

Ramos 460
Erika 900
Mallow 725
Gardenia 870
Cilan 750

Wow rank 1 currently 540k

[jade shell]

I do not have adaman and Tapu bulu...😭

[hardy fog]

It's ok, tryharding HS doesn't offer too much in terms of rewards. Except you get to be in the pity circle, where everyone brag about how much rng they suffered to get a bit higher score 😂

You can easily use on type dps and 2 grass to get 180k

[jade shell]

Thanks. That does make me feel better. 🥹

[cunning shore]

Am I still top 50 xD

[hardy fog]

I think you are all good 👍seems like less people trying compred to last HS

[cyan tusk]

I’m still waiting for enigma to snipe me as usual

[forest ferry]

wait till more people get mix red

[hardy fog]

Haha yea and runner

I've just been thinking if there is a better team I can do for Ramos

Grass flinch egg lol

[forest ferry]

Not worth

flinch is only nice if you are denying sides post sync

[hardy fog]

You know what we should do for fun, if everyone max out their points early. We can run our own F2P pairs only comp and see who can do the best.

[forest ferry]

Pre sync you can just reset for self buffs

Does ssleaf count as f2p

[hardy fog]

Or what happens is

[forest ferry]

also Lgloria

[hardy fog]

You can assign points almost like a draft

All limited pairs have a value and you can't draft more than an agreed amount

[forest ferry]

that 100k pts with adaman in that stage has 2 F2P pairs

it's hard to put value on limited units

[hardy fog]

But adaman makes that team 😂

[crude iron]

I kinda wanna use L Gloria for fun in this event just to say I’ve tried the unit. Is there a stage she would do alright in? The physical requiring stage perhaps?

Also any of the remaining 4 stars I should raise to 5 for the event?
Just aiming for 180k, idm spending a small amount of resources making it easier though

[hardy fog]

Have you read the write up in the pin? Got some grading for you to consider for different pairs and stages.

[crude iron]

Not yet I plan to read it tomorrow probs. It’s like 6am and I haven’t slept lmao

[hardy fog]

O gg bro

[crude iron]

Just dropped by for some quick opinions before I sleep

[hardy fog]

Just a tip for how you could use the grading doc

Make a copy. Delete every you don't have

Assign your tanks then your dps

Just move them around in rows

[crude iron]

Oh that’s interesting

[hardy fog]

Makes your building really easy

[crude iron]

So move rows to sort by dps and tanks I own

Then sort by who I’m using where?

https://tenor.com/view/confused-pokemon-anime-litten-blink-gif-17234536

[hardy fog]

Yea there will be icon and grading for each stage

So you can just min max

[crude iron]

I’ll have to figure out how to even do that since I’ve barely used sheets haha thanks for the idea tho

Might be back tomorrow for help on doing that if I can’t figure it out when I’m on pc

Gn

[outer yew]

RNG was on my side for those Gears ahah
Thank you

[cyan tusk]

Alright peeps, I’m done. I’m in peace with coupons and beyond my expectations for the result. Good luck on everyone tryharding and going for as much they can

750
1000
800
1000
860

[chilly flame]

What changed

[cyan tusk]

Cilan

106K->112K, 40 strength more

[maiden canopy]

Are you currently #1?

[cyan tusk]

Nope, #2

[ornate turret]

the #1 is 540k

[cyan tusk]

#1 is better than me

or has more patience

[ornate turret]

expect to see a few more 500k japanese players

the point gap is big this time

[cyan tusk]

I’d really love to see how their teams look like btw

Bc it’s kinda obvious that they did not go for ncleaf so I’m curious to see how teams were rearranged

[forest ferry]

I am 90% certain it's 5/5 victor

[cyan tusk]

I won’t be pulling for him

Grusha is next

[chilly flame]

@hollow prism you gotta stream those Ramos attempts btw

[cyan tusk]

You wanna watch pain and suffering

[hollow prism]

Getting home from classes rn

[chilly flame]

Yes

He watched me suffer for hours

[hollow prism]

Alright i’m on

[chilly flame]

How bad was that fight at 850 btw (Ramos)

[cyan tusk]

It was 750! Btw 850 is possible

You need good mpr luck

[chilly flame]

Oh 750

[chilly flame]

[hardy fog]

Wtf how do you get 100k bicio

Can you both show your score break down

I think there is like 5k* diff in points?

[haughty haven]

This was nice until Ramos clicked Surf

[cyan tusk]

I might have been drunk

No btw I wrote it wrong

Btw I confirm 850 is possible bc if you have -6 spatk + 6 spdef and light screen up 2nd sync does roughly 400 damage

[cyan tusk]

On which one lol

[hardy fog]

Ramos

You and Santos both did 750

But yours is 5k more

[chilly flame]

No I did 700

But while I was doing the run I figured 750 was doable

But that run is really annoying

[main pulsar]

Sir how is the ncleaf shauna sserika possible

I want death

[chilly flame]

You use leaf to nuke

Erika takes advantage of sun to spam solar blade

[main pulsar]

You make it sound so easy

[hardy fog]

I simplified it to this and it worked for me.

1. Reset if they sp def or def up before your 1st b move
2. Rosa stans tip. Sync with nc leaf first then sync with Shauna.
3. After 1st Sync just b move. Then concentrate dps on left side. And sync 3 and 4 mid. Of course make sure you max debuff mid before you sync

Mine is caked BTW

[main pulsar]

Not just spam leaf sync?

[hardy fog]

No if Shauna is ex def get the buff 😂

[forest ferry]

it's a long fight and very dps locked once mid dies

So you want to abuse the supp ex rather than more nuke

[hardy fog]

The left needs to be almost dead when mid dies or you f****ed

[forest ferry]

Since leaf nuke is overkill anyways

[hardy fog]

And Shauna needs her endurance still up

[main pulsar]

So I need 3/5

Haha~

[hardy fog]

I choose to deal with hyperbeam with 2 endurance up lol I rather have that then randomly eat a crit razor leaf.

Nc leaf with no power Play... is just a debuffer😂

[main pulsar]

Well that’s not true

She has 1 innate power play

[forest ferry]

1 innate powerplay

On a tech nuke

[main pulsar]

Yis

2 power play is the ticket winner obviously

[chilly flame]

According to my math, 1 is less than 2

[main pulsar]

Shockingly making her 3/5 makes her do more

[forest ferry]

I mean, you'll be dealing half the damage
Which means you can only tackle half the HP 3/5 leaf users are dealing with

[main pulsar]

No she’s 3/5 obviously

It’s Shauna

She’s the problem

[forest ferry]

ah

just brisk bulwark harder

[main pulsar]

THATS 3/5 MY GUY

[forest ferry]

wdym, that's in base kit

[cyan tusk]

Go pull with general pool and kalos tickets

[main pulsar]

I used all of them

No dice

Brisk bulwark is sync reduction yes

No dice

As you can see

[hardy fog]

O your Shauna is 3/5?

[main pulsar]

No

[hardy fog]

O farrrk

Gg

[main pulsar]

I’ll Just get luckier dw

[forest ferry]

I think mini potion MPR is also behind 3/5

[main pulsar]

Yis

Potion stuff is all 3/5

[hardy fog]

Does it have shield mpr at 2/5

No I guess

[main pulsar]

It does actually

[hardy fog]

You only need shield and roll for Erika propulsion

Nc leaf at 3/5 is insane though

You get endurance and drought alert

[forest ferry]

Erika propulsion surprisingly felt like a decent chance to proc

[main pulsar]

It’s 30% or something

[forest ferry]

Albeit I always get it when I don't need Accel

[main pulsar]

Pretty high

[hardy fog]

Just cope with 2/5 on lower str

[main pulsar]

Also I’m the guy trying to clear ubs with ncblue ncleaf and gimmick Ender

I got this

I can do it

[hardy fog]

I'm sure you can get 60k

[main pulsar]

[forest ferry]

Bruh 60k with NCleaf

That's really sad

[main pulsar]

Is the average 70k or soemthing

[forest ferry]

Can Defo go higher
Considering I bought NCred for 54k

[hardy fog]

2/5 Shauna no endurance 😂

[forest ferry]

And leaf gives sun so 57k at worst

For ontype unit it's rly low

[hardy fog]

How can you have 2/5. When they did the Anni ticket thing I got like 10 copies lol and my account is 6 months old

[main pulsar]

Ontype?

[main pulsar]

Because good sir

[forest ferry]

NCleaf hits ontype

[main pulsar]

I didn’t get darach for 3 fucking years

These things happen

He’s still 1/5

[hardy fog]

That's true luck

[main pulsar]

Somethin like that

What lucky skill on Shauna

[forest ferry]

After grass HS, you'll appreciate more PUs over Shauna dupes anyways

[hardy fog]

Your nc leaf is 3/5 right?

[main pulsar]

Yis

[forest ferry]

Grass guard

[main pulsar]

Not fairy guard?

[forest ferry]

You reset moon blast

[hardy fog]

That's good I think you can do it

[forest ferry]

Taking on moonblast is just asking to get one shot

And without endurance it's even more memable

[hardy fog]

You block moonblast sir

[main pulsar]

Reset for perfect timing got it

[forest ferry]

that's post sync

pre sync you reset

[hardy fog]

Skill issue 😂

[forest ferry]

I always reset for full run with just self buffs and minimal damage

Like razor leaf

Takes like 3-4 hrs per clear

[main pulsar]

Ah suffering

An old friend

Welp off i go

[hardy fog]

Don't stress just go for like 750 or something lol

[forest ferry]

From how I scored, 600 str = 57k pts

since you are also bringing sun

It's gonna be ez with NCleaf to do that that strength

[cyan tusk]

Id honestly use shields for the hyper beams and focus the mid and the other side

[hardy fog]

I think as long as Shauna is up by the time left dies you good

It's not 1000 str bicio 😂

[cyan tusk]

what are we even talking about

[west pier]

I'm trying to get the medal. When I started I was top 900 but I've been steadily dropping and now I'm at 2300. Do I need to worry about it or will it slow down as the event goes on

[hardy fog]

No need to worry

[atomic rain]

you’re safe

its top 10k

[cyan tusk]

What’s your score?

[west pier]

236718

[forest ferry]

That might not break top 10k

[hardy fog]

I doubt there will be more than 7000 players randomly want to hit 230k

[forest ferry]

Water was similar level roster and it was 234k threshold for medal

[hardy fog]

7000?!?

[forest ferry]

I remember last day there was like 2k rank movement

[west pier]

Well

[forest ferry]

And it was the first ever hse so many people don't have good grasp of event

So yea 250k for safe zone imo

Even fire was 224kish

And fire roster is kind of mediocre compared to grass and worse scoring conditions and stages as well

[cyan tusk]

It’s a balance between less active players and an easier event actually

That’s the easiest has so far

I agree for the 250K

[west pier]

Well I'll probably need some help upgrading my teams then

[cyan tusk]

If I were you I’d focus on 140 all of them

[west pier]

I can probably get a better score on Gardenia because she was really easy

[cyan tusk]

And save some materials to ex stuff if needed

[forest ferry]

They have strong roster
It's comp issue

[west pier]

I have those materials but I've already exed everybody I need to really

[cyan tusk]

Well yes you can easily squeeze 30K more there and on mallow too btw

[west pier]

What would you suggest

[west pier]

Mallow was super hard and I barely beat her

[cyan tusk]

Also Ramos is very low, try to 5* sycamore
Don’t you have anything else besides gardenia?

[west pier]

No

[cyan tusk]

Really? You have both defense buffs and atk debuffs

[forest ferry]

Where lodge blue?

[cyan tusk]

We might need to see a video showcase to help you play better

[west pier]

My unused grass units are
Erika
BP Erika
And one more I can't remember I'll check one sec

[cyan tusk]

Also yes you gotta grab lodge blue and Exeggutor

[west pier]

Yeah 🙃

[cyan tusk]

They’re the best lodge unit actually lol

[west pier]

I really don't like upgrading Lodge units past 4 stars

[chilly flame]

Man Adaman outside of 3/5 is so lame

Bicio what grid did you use for him

[cunning shore]

How am i even still top 20

[forest ferry]

Runner is still asleep

That's how

[cyan tusk]

Adaman? Standard nuke but I got critastrophe instead of sync nodes power ups

[cunning shore]

Y'all slackin

[cyan tusk]

I got kicked out of top 2

[west pier]

Here it is @cyan tusk and @forest ferry

[cunning shore]

Well fk that's not the slackin i was talking about

[cunning shore]

Red 5/5

No SSLyra sadge

[west pier]

I've only done like 100 pulls on mix

[cyan tusk]

Yes there’s a 5/5 red no way he does not have the potential to get the medal

[cyan tusk]

[west pier]

Brendan 1/5 hurts 🥲

[cunning shore]

Definitely got good runs

[forest ferry]

Don't need sslyra
Can cope with mallow for single target nuke

[cunning shore]

Why brendan when you got big monkey

[cyan tusk]

Wings do you happen to have gen pool ticket scouts?

[forest ferry]

Brendan has better gauge

[cyan tusk]

If yes go splurge them

[forest ferry]

Monke gauge suk

[west pier]

Nah

[cunning shore]

Big monke with speed or something

[west pier]

I spend them when I get them

[cyan tusk]

Right

[forest ferry]

Brendan with adaman is still kind of waste even with factoring in that he's 1/5

Coz mega with 400+ atk aoe nuke is still okayish

[west pier]

Who should I use instead

And should i ex Brendan even if he's 1/5

[forest ferry]

Cilan is default adaman + lodge blue

[cyan tusk]

Nah, if you wanna ex someone lodge blue is the way to go

[forest ferry]

Lemme think what can be 3rd slot after considering other teams

[west pier]

Well can Lodge Blue be used at 4 star

[cyan tusk]

No

He’s too squishy

[west pier]

Then I probably won't do that team

Unless it's close to the end and I really have to

[forest ferry]

You got egg leafeon or the paldea cat?

Asking coz they set grass terrain

also any Uber level non grass units

[west pier]

Yes to both. I have NC Blue, SS Morty, NC Leaf, NC Rosa, NC Leaf and maybe more

All 1/5 except morty is 2

[forest ferry]

OK 1/5 isn't worth

I'll just look into your grass units

[west pier]

I can candy Blue. Or acerola. One or the other whichever is better

For this event

[forest ferry]

Ramos: Ramos, Brendan, Lyra
Erika: shauna, victor, erika
Mallow: bulu, Selene, egg support paldea cat
Gardenia : Mixred, mallow, dawn
Cilan : adaman, Lblue, sserika

Lyra EX tanks, Brendan EX if possible

Shauna EX, victor EX, erika tank

Bulu tank EX, Selene EX, paldea cat atleast 4*

All 3 ex , dawn tanks

Adaman ex, lblue ex and tank

[west pier]

What about ramos

Is he there for defense crush or sleep

[forest ferry]

Ramos is for sleep mainly

Sleep lets you skip turns as well

Since Lyra is not that good tank Ramos helps her case

[west pier]

Does he need 5 star

[forest ferry]

Uhh, depends on stage strength you are tackling

[west pier]

Also, who do I sync with on each stage

[forest ferry]

Lyra sync 1st, Brendan sync rest
Shauna sync first, victor sync rest(dmax saved for last to get maximum effect)
Bulu sync first, Selene sync rest
Dawn sync first, then mix red , then mallow sync rest ( save mixred dmax for right before field sync terrain leaves )
Lblue sync first, adaman sync rest

[west pier]

Alright thank you! I've copied all this info to my doc and I will try it out later and ping you when I finish or if I need help

[forest ferry]

I am going to sleep in few mins so don't ping me for next 8-9 hrs

[hollow prism]

Ok

[west pier]

Alr

[hollow prism]

😭

[chilly flame]

Did you beat the stage

@hollow prism

[hollow prism]

Nope

I had 2 near misses

[main pulsar]

biciooo

is there a replacement for shauna

i desire less suffering

i doubt there is though

urgh

[hollow prism]

The replacement is HSyca

[main pulsar]

mmm

im going to do the ncblue one for now

xd

should be less painful

[cyan tusk]

Yes there is

[main pulsar]

somehow that option seems far away from my grasp but ill bite

what is it

Also this event does this to me

This was once in the thousands

[west pier]

Is BP Barry a good tank for Cilan

[hardy fog]

You started 2 months earlier than me, have you been lazy with your dailies? 😂

[hardy fog]

With what you have Barry will be a good pick

However LBlue is supreior

If you can ex him he can be flinch boy

[west pier]

I got acerola off a daily actually. I didn't pull on SC Rosa when she rerun and Sycamore completely shafted me. I think those are the only Grass units I haven't gotten that ran when I was playing

And ss leaf but I don't care for her

Because I'm dailying iono rn

[hardy fog]

Nah I’m just talking about your Gen pool

[west pier]

Ohh

Yeah idk why I haven't pulled grass units a ton

[hardy fog]

Your grass limited are better than mine

[west pier]

The only Gen pools I'm missing are Lenora and Hugh

[hardy fog]

Go with what Blaze outlined

You should get 250k with no problem

[west pier]

The thing is

I like keeping Lodge units at 4 stars

So if I can sub Barry for Blue I would do it

[shy flax]

Are you saving your 4* power ups to convert to 5* power ups?

[main pulsar]

Hurgh

My hoarder soul

But she is literally my first sc ever so

[atomic rain]

wheres she even good

[main pulsar]

Sentimental value

Ramos

[west pier]

No I just like keeping Lodge at 4 star

[hardy fog]

So what should we call this? “A fetish to handicap sync pairs”😂

[west pier]

I love it

I just like having all my Lodge pairs at 4 Stars as trophies since it separates them from the rest of my pairs

[west pier]

I will ex Blue if it's like the day before the event ends and I need a higher score

But I'd rather not :/

[stray comet]

I ACHIEVED 200K POINTS IN THE HIGH SCORE EVENT

[sullen pier]

[main pulsar]

Haiyahhhhhhhh

Haiyahaahhaahahhh

Pain

[hardy fog]

Solid

[west pier]

Nice

[main pulsar]

Also sidenote my lodge blue isn’t letting me queue when flinch

I don’t get it

Do I need a sync grid

[west pier]

If Erika is tanking does she need ex

Erika Vileplume

Also sorry idk the answer to your question Kirby lol

[true sparrow]

If you mean quad queuing flinch, it's a lot harder and quite specific to do when it's an innate secondary effect and not created by a passive

[main pulsar]

Oh rly?

So how do

[hardy fog]

Blue and ss lyras flinch is diff to a move flinch

You can't get extra move in from move flinch but you could get 2 moves ahead.

Where as passive flinch you can get 3 movew ahead

Don't ask me for anything more technical 😂 just speaking from repetition

[main pulsar]

Huh

[true sparrow]

You can get quad queue from regular flinch, it's just not easy and needs specific conditions as no passive procing as Mgr, healing, regen, etc

[main pulsar]

Ohhh

So it’s solar healing s that ducking nc me

[west pier]

.

[true sparrow]

It's also only possible if it's changing from one target to another, you cannot quad queue if the target queues a tm from being flinched

[main pulsar]

Huh

[hardy fog]

No she doesn’t need ex

[hardy fog]

You are talking about flinching right before your sync and they skip that move right? Similar to a sleep before the sync.

[true sparrow]

No

[hardy fog]

It’s so hard to visualize what you are actually talking about 😂

[chilly flame]

You can quad queue from Lyra’s Grassy Glide Flinch every time

But you can’t do that with Lodge Blues Stomp consistently, unless under very specific conditions

That’s basically it

[hardy fog]

Ok so it can happen when it wants to happen

[main pulsar]

[chilly flame]

That's pretty much what it feels like

[main pulsar]

@hardy fog sir the brendan torterra sslyra team has zer ospeed

[sullen pier]

skill issue

no Amped Up on Brendan?

[main pulsar]

Oh I didn’t

But even then I didn’t have enough speed at base

It was so bad

[haughty haven]

You should spam Bullet Seed at the start with Amped Up

Brendan speed is very good

[sullen pier]

give Dawn Fast Track if possible

as well

[hardy fog]

O about to type what suggested above haha

On lower strength dawn can take fast track for an easier clear

She never dies with terrain up

[sleek crystal]

Who is the most annoying one left

[forest ferry]

Ramos

Enjoy resetting whenever you see surf post sync

[sleek crystal]

This with 250str?

[forest ferry]

it's special stage

So bring spl def tank

I'd also advise to check the pinned comps for reference

[sleek crystal]

Yeah I am checking the pinned comps

This is the only stage sycamore has usage

Something like this?

[forest ferry]

Psure most pinned comps didnt bother with sycamore at all

running offtype tank on low dps not worth

Run Lyra/rosa as tank

[sleek crystal]

I thought i would save Lyra for cilan

So rosa?

250 str or 200 str

Wait no i used rosa for Erika

Tank options kinda bad...

Grass roster itself isn't very big actually

[forest ferry]

did you really check the pinned comps?

Cilan is a fully physical sync stage where you reset the moment you see special moves

[sleek crystal]

Why is ssleaf ranked s tier in the sheet then

[maiden canopy]

Bad Poison and debuffs

[mighty roost]

Finally found a use for Sprigatito support

[forest ferry]

Oh you are looking at the sheet , that thing is barely updated

Check comps used by other players

[sleek crystal]

Is that in pins or do i just scroll up

[forest ferry]

It's the first pinned messages

[sleek crystal]

Would these work?(180k max,ran out of grass damagers curse me not having adaman or red)

[forest ferry]

Oh god that gardenia comp

Also what's with that obsession with sycamore

Wait, I'll gib comps

Making people learn stuff themselves is hard

[sleek crystal]

A few comps use him

I have like 3 damage dealers for grass

[forest ferry]

Ramos : Lyra, rosa , ssleaf
Erika : hycamore , brendan , ramos
Mallow : Selene, dawn, sslyra
Gardenia : mallow, sserika, shauna
Cilan : Lblue, Lgloria......

You got any strong offtype unit?

If nothing else, 3rd slot in cilan team can be gardenia / sycamore

[sleek crystal]

Strong offtype unit...

Yeah I got a few

Also is the ssleaf team purely stall or sun damage as well

[forest ferry]

oh wait I derped a bit

Ramos : Lyra, rosa , ssleaf
Erika : hycamore , brendan , gardenia
Mallow : Selene, dawn, sslyra
Gardenia : mallow, sserika, shauna
Cilan : Lblue, Lgloria , Ramos

[forest ferry]

it's nuke comp

You spam razor leaf

First sync Lyra

Rest all ssleaf

and you clean sides with frenzy plant

[sleek crystal]

They cleaned me up💀

Mf hit 2k hyperbeam the moment ramos dies

[forest ferry]

you are supposed to keep the sides HP low enuff to kill em easily

Adjust strength and playstyle to make work with the comp, I did same comp at 360 str
You can try less str for smoother run

also you want reflect up almost all time

[sleek crystal]

I'm trying 250 str

I keep missing frenzy plants

Ramos is taking too much time to die

Should I just do 200str

[cunning shore]

Don't underestimate the lil onion

[cunning shore]

This is a remotely annoying run, you will struggle for a bit because you need mprs on Light Screen and good management on your gauges

[sleek crystal]

Wait I'm supposed to have mpr?

Bruh

Also leaf misses half her FP

Rosa eats gauge unless I get lucky with mpr

Two leaf nukes barely chips ramos

Ok 200str was more than enough

The gardenia team isn't working very well

Literally any attack is crippling shauna

[forest ferry]

Do other teams first

I only recommended Shauna in that comp coz your roster is very limiting
Other stages are more doable

Also leaf has guaranteed frenzy plant

You are clearly running wrong grid on her

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/1710/300?s=3&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFBggKFRYYGRweJS4v

^this what you'd want to run on her

[rocky crater]

i can probably improve some clears but rng is not agreeing with me rn

[hardy fog]

Ramos gaming!

[haughty haven]

Now do 600str
