High Score

[night sleet]

I got same shit befor from selects

[rough forum]

To be fair before 2023 I ever did only 1 select

[night sleet]

I new its free gems 🤣 since 80k is max pay

[rough forum]

Yeah but better specify

I'm likely pitying on the HSE banner this month anyway

[night sleet]

Hse banner is not bad

[rough forum]

Unless I ransack a fast Paulo & grusha in first couple multis

If I get both under 5 multi I stop there

But I usually always have to pity the 1/3 I want most

[night sleet]

This reruns banners most time good drop if have 2-3 in

[rough forum]

In pf triples

[rough forum]

Yeah that's why I don't scout on debut unless the unit is in my "top"

Triple reruns are miles better

Especially when you skip a lot

The more you skip the better they become

[night sleet]

Its good when you don’t have all off banner units . For me kinda not good since always have 1/2

Its why i pref solo banner

But if you miss all its best one yes

[rough forum]

Took only 3+ years to finally get here

[idle plinth]

HSE banner is nice, but ye I have other priorities

[rough forum]

Anyway, really hoped for a grusha spook

I'll cope with one of the best looking sygnas in the game ig

Which always got postponed because I had bigger tech faves to select

[idle plinth]

Literally same with me

And unfortunately I had to again in favor of Hilbert

Will March select finally let me choose her? That remains to be seen

[rough forum]

There's half anni selects?

[sullen pier]

Yes there are

[rough forum]

I see

[sullen pier]

I believe variety selects only happen during half anni

[rough forum]

Might skip selecting rn then

[rough forum]

Yeah I meant pf ones

I thought Half anni had the 3k ones

Not 5k ones

[idle plinth]

Last year there's pf select on half anni

By region

Kanto/Johto/Hoenn
Sinnoh/Unova/Kalos
Alola/Galar/Paldea

And yes there's also variety select a few days later

[rough forum]

Oh I see

Damn

Then I guess I'm saving these 5k for the gen 7-8-9 select

[idle plinth]

In hindsight I should actually aim for Paulo as he is never going to be on a Select but I'll just wait to see if the banner reaches datamine

Unless that 4 dailies give me him

[rough forum]

Banner ends in 9 days from start...

10-19th

[idle plinth]

Oh.

[rough forum]

Yeah

I mean

Last HSE banner showed me anything can happen

So maybe this time you get this kind of luck

[idle plinth]

[rough forum]

Also when was steel? October?

Racked up 50k between then and now while scouting Eri 🙏

Sad I have to pass on Leon but god I hate what they did for his kit

And Gio is a skip unless next datamine is dead

(but since I'm weak to palentines....)

(doubt)

[neon prawn]

November

[rough forum]

Even better damn

[paper mist]

Is 1/5 Selene useable? Doubt I’m getting any copies from her banner. I do have Elio but also 1/5 (since I know she needs lots of Circles)

[acoustic quarry]

😮

[rough forum]

Eh,

She's an enabler at 1/5

But in HSE scenario, where there's basically no other rock special unit?

She's pretty iffy

[grand perch]

Huh she’s not that useful at 1/5?

[paper mist]

These are my teams atm (though I’ve since realized I have no SpDef debuffs for Brock since Vilbert is only 1/5 too)

[acoustic quarry]

the thing is, i think for this HSE ( especialy this Stage ), as long as you have V Hilbert or Selene, no matter what level ( 1/2/3/4/5 our of 5 ) ou need to use it on it

Its kinda the situation where you feel the stage is designed for specific duos

( not the first time, not the last time obviously, but it feel heavy in this case )

[paper mist]

If I ever sync with Hilbert I think it’d be a waste to not have another ice attacker to take advantage of zone too, but HLeon doesn’t give the debuffs needed either

Can’t give mind games either since no lucky cookies to use

[tame bridge]

is roark any decent for low str

[storm vector]

depends on ur supports for him

[rough forum]

He is shit period unless you have ZERO limiteds for both types

[storm vector]

otherwise he would just die and he doesn't even have EX for the AOE sync

i'd honestly go 2 rock/ice 1 hard carry (as steven, nc blue, etc)

for a far higher str

if you are desperate enough to use ROARK

[balmy yarrow]

I’m missing both Glaceons Sina and Hilbert, are they clutch in any of the battles?

[rough forum]

Hilbert definitely helps for Brock, and sina is basically made for HSE

[balmy yarrow]

Ouch, why they don’t do Sprint/field select scouts?

[rough forum]

Because they're very few and mostly recent units

Also there's been selects with those iirc? The regional ones

[balmy yarrow]

Oh I’m looking at the sheet, I think I’m fine

Got:
Diantha for grusha
Champion Silver for Melony
Red for Grant
Selene for Brock
Irida for Roxanne

In the support department I see Grusha is good vs all the battles, idk where to place him.
I got every support except arven and the non master fair glaceons.

[cyan tusk]

Has anyone started rolling gears for hse? I feel like this time is quite harder bc opponents use different move types (ice/rock/water), or it’s just me?

[paper mist]

1 week

[paper mist]

I have but I don’t think it’s much different than some other ones, Steel/Fighting had Steel/Fighting/Flying/Ice, Dragon/Ground had Ground, Dragon, Fire and Elec, etc, plus all the usual Brutal Swings/EQs/etc

[cyan tusk]

So what are you rolling? Bc I was starting with ice and ice dmg reduction focusing on sync but I feel like I’m starting late bc there’s few time before hse and I should need water rock dragon ice

[paper mist]

Mostly just running rock ice and the dragon/water if I can

My luck isn’t good so I have to pick and choose who needs the gears the most

Which will probably be Roxanne Grusha and Melony teams since they will be the ones carrying my score lol

[cyan tusk]

I guess it’s better to roll ice with rock or water dmg reduction and rock with ice

Yeah we are gonna use more ice units for sure

[paper mist]

I’m gonna see how far I get with my current gears first cause I may not need to do a ton to get top 500 this time around since the roster sucks

And I’m one of like 20 people with Variety Bruno thanks to Mix

[oak fulcrum]

woah I have found a second person with variety Bruno thanks to mix

and yet I might not be using mine because he’s stuck in 1/5 purgatory

[paper mist]

4/5

Sorry 3/5 but still

[cyan tusk]

It’s 3 of us with VBruno

[paper mist]

He will make up for my lack of copies on everyone else and no Sina or Falltal, surely

[wooden sparrow]

actually 4 with vbruno

hse making me use my mix pity on a 2/5 --> 3/5 vbruno can't believe this is my life

[cyan tusk]

It could my life
Pity fall iono 2 days ago

Guess who showed up in today’s pull next to Lucas

[tidal pine]

😭

[acoustic quarry]

did i heard there was a V Bruno gang ?

[deft trout]

What gem packs do you guys buy? Only have 1.4k paids atm with both bundles and after doing strike and support select. I plan on doing the tech select and mix over time

No sina and v hilbert

[cyan tusk]

Best value deals are the daily bundles for orbs/coins
Followed up by mf deals

[cyan tusk]

There still is

It all started from the gears momentum

[rough forum]

3k once a month or every 50 days circa

It's the only good bundle

[deft trout]

Shin Megami Liberation Dx2 is my primary mobile game that has pvp that I whale on. Anyway, should I 3/5 and cake ss n or fshauntal? I’m also 2 support coins away from a second candy and plan on 4/5ing usum elio

[static oar]

I'm planning to do the same fwiw

[cyan tusk]

This Vbruno fan club is getting crowded

[cyan tusk]

You should do some planning before deciding on who to invest. In that case you can understand if you lack more dps/nuke or supports.

[outer whale]

I'm holdin off on powering up anyone just yet unless i know I will need them to nuke.

USelene needed 3/5 fr fr

[cyan tusk]

I should really do some planning
Saving pics of others ppl planning count as planning, right?

[static oar]

that's how I do it lol

[deft trout]

https://tenor.com/view/work-socks-sponebob-covering-face-krusty-krab-gif-4904461045554547636

Put the planning in the bag!

[outer whale]

it's in the bag.

[deft trout]

[sullen pier]

Thís is the most chaotic HSE up to date

[haughty haven]

[deft trout]

https://tenor.com/view/charlie-i-got-a-rock-gif-10605542

[haughty haven]

Not having V Bruno really mess some team

[storm vector]

what str

[haughty haven]

Grusha, Roxxane, Grant are easy 1000 Str

Brock really anoying if he spam HydroPump so maybe not 1000Str but doable

Melony idk bc that team lack SpA debuff

[graceful pike]

where are you guys putting SS Silver in

[wooden sparrow]

if u had vbruno what would you change here ?

[cyan tusk]

Tbh I’m not considering using him. No flinch, no AoE, debuffs are random, dps isn’t anything incredible. But I might change idea later on

Rn he’s benched

[graceful pike]

same

no select

[night sleet]

Ss silver have no spot in this hse

If it was debuff then yes

[cyan tusk]

I mean he has super command on grid so he might be useful to pre sync Roxanne but still, SSN can take advantage of SEUN and has AoE nuke

[night sleet]

Pre sync is nice but side will kill you

He raise eva just for him self not like rei for team

Just silver 1 vs 2 sides sound awful. And time waist for it like …

If was debuff more attack and more sts raise . Then this would be game .

[cyan tusk]

Btw I love the grusha+gladion combo

[acoustic quarry]

that elio selene 10/5

https://tenor.com/view/okay-ok-alright-cool-awesome-gif-18159255497747374770

[haughty haven]

Tbh, idk lol. I’ll need to cal the team again

[wooden sparrow]

i feel like im in a reverse situation where I don't have dana

or rather

don't have dana invested lol

so i'm lowkey stuck with usum duo on brock unless I want to commit grusha there

[outer whale]

Imagine having grusha

[cyan tusk]

I have her invested but I have to figure out if she’s more worth than variety Bruno tbh. She has SEUN yes, but also SSN which I’m planning on Roxanne. Other alternative being a rock dps on grusha but this means having a mixed team with Dana and I don’t like this lol

Also I’m kinda tempted to separate Elio and Selene, with bp Olivia taking elio spot

Protect, sterner stuff, AoE regen, endurance… too valuable to be skipped

[wooden sparrow]

if I had to use bp olivia i'd phase out vbruno

and i don't have the heart to admit she outclasses elio in some situations lol

[cyan tusk]

Situation being called AoE stages?

[haughty haven]

I think 10/5 Selene should be able to survive at 1000 Str against Brock ?

[cyan tusk]

Maybe
Otherwise there’s still the bp Olivia wildcard

[haughty haven]

Dmg guard should help her tank Sync

But idk about Surf tho

[cyan tusk]

there’s also a dragon guard for grant in grid

[haughty haven]

I’d use Ground Guard against him

[cyan tusk]

Confusion gaming
(Ofc in mixed stages the grid is different)

[wooden sparrow]

vs brock is it worth it to try and run stalwart on selene

[haughty haven]

Nah, Wise Entry 2

+1 SpDef to tank Sync and Surf

[cyan tusk]

Or just give up the tech bonus and run elio Selene and Olivia together

[wooden sparrow]

yes I understand but i just about to type that I don't have the cookies for that 😭

[haughty haven]

I know

That why i plan them to presync Grusha lol

[cyan tusk]

And if our lg prince doesn’t have lg cookies, we’re doomed

[haughty haven]

No cookie

Rn the team i worry the most is against Melony lol

Just bc no SpA debuff at all

[wooden sparrow]

HSE folks: actually using cookies for good LS's on good units

me: using a billion cookies for MGR2 on eggmon

[haughty haven]

80% my pairs just have Hs1

[cyan tusk]

80% of my eggmons have ft2/dc//mg2

[haughty haven]

But ngl, not using Dana’s SEUN really triggers

[wooden sparrow]

as an LG player bronze deluxe cookies are so much more valuable than golds so I end up wasting golds and then when I actually want to try HSE/DC I get owned

[haughty haven]

But she is like my only tank can tank Brock for me

[cyan tusk]

We got Quagg in the dark side of the game

[haughty haven]

Tbf this HSE has his boy and girl

[cyan tusk]

Well she and Melony are the only 2 that raise spdef consistently

[haughty haven]

[cyan tusk]

And grusha

[haughty haven]

Grusha again

So lucky i’m a Grusha owner

[wooden sparrow]

and bp olivia!

lol

[haughty haven]

Should be able to tank Brock right ?

[cyan tusk]

Hey im the one advocating for her
Since when we swapped roles

[haughty haven]

I just pray for Brock not spamming HydroPump

Like that is his only strong move

[cyan tusk]

Well she should be able to tank since +6spdef -6 spatk

[haughty haven]

+45 SpDef, total like 50% Special dmg reduces

As long as Ice Zone Up (should be always up)

[onyx current]

Hilberts noxious hit gaming

[cyan tusk]

There’s also irida satisfied snarl if needed

[haughty haven]

I dont grid it tho

[cyan tusk]

But she should focus on dmg

[haughty haven]

I grid Hilbert as a nuker

[onyx current]

Ah makes sense

[haughty haven]

Rn i only hate one thing

My Dana doesn’t have fk water guard

[cyan tusk]

We don’t get type guard cookies in training area/villa?

[onyx current]

Is winter coat only physical moves

[haughty haven]

Both

[onyx current]

Oh nice

[haughty haven]

In Training? Yeah, nope

In Villa? Idk tbh

[onyx current]

Cursed Dana grid

[haughty haven]

SpDef mpr is very important

[paper mist]

You can’t really farm cookies at all without LG

Idk if you can farm BV like that

[onyx current]

Can be grabbed with +10 energy

[haughty haven]

Also Brock debuff SpDef so Stalwart really nice

[haughty haven]

I dont take Winter Coat tho

[paper mist]

But the original 4 cookies were actually more farmable than deluxe cookies in LG

[onyx current]

I see

[onyx current]

VHilbert tm buffs ally spdef by 4

[haughty haven]

Himself

[onyx current]

Oh he buffs spatk smh

[haughty haven]

He only buffs allies SpA

Yeah

If he buff SpDef Aoe, that’ll be so nice

[onyx current]

If you’re taking barricade buddies why do you need MPR if she has stalwart, for Allie’s?

[haughty haven]

Yeah, i aim for long fight

So might need to tank 2nd Sync

[onyx current]

How hard is that sync supposed to hit I feel like Irida and VHilbert hit pretty hard in my experience with Nita

[haughty haven]

Decent hard

Other grid

[onyx current]

I like this a lot more especially since you’re afraid of Dana survival

[haughty haven]

Need mpr for +6 SpDef but you have Winter Coat now

[cyan tusk]

No hype up to max irida spark?

[onyx current]

Hilbert buffs spatk

[haughty haven]

More like Hilbert tbh

Bc Hilberts buff Irida to +6

But he himself stuck at +4

[cyan tusk]

Oh yes

[haughty haven]

But if i can survive just fine, i’ll swap to hype up for faster clear

[cyan tusk]

I mean if you wanna nuke with Hilbert better be at +6

[haughty haven]

Tbh, yeah, i dont grid hail anyway

[cyan tusk]

Fair enough

[acoustic quarry]

and io remember we said if i had elio swap elio and v bruno to have a better grant

[wooden sparrow]

think something like this would be ok? or is melony better at her own stage then elio cause elio doesn't really add anything the team doesn't have (rock zone) and the sp def buffs

[acoustic quarry]

something like that ?*

[haughty haven]

My only problem is Silver’ll not survive Sync at high Str

Diantha can buff SpDef herself

But Silver

[cyan tusk]

Where’s force field in grid when needed

No, give it to og steven lol

[wooden sparrow]

i see

[acoustic quarry]

isnt swap v bruno and elio the soltuon here ?

[haughty haven]

No, Melony’s Sync is special

[cyan tusk]

Why Elio should do with red and N

No sense tbh

[acoustic quarry]

the no sense here is to think red + N need something else

imo

[onyx current]

Going to copy your melony and Brock teams

[paper mist]

<— me who doesn’t have most pairs invested so I can’t do most of this type of planning

[onyx current]

What makes Elio so bad for Roxanne?

[cyan tusk]

Elio is basically not the greatest support bc he’s offensively oriented and doesn’t buff team defenses which is crucial in hse bc the teams 95% of the time have to endure a sync

On the opposite side stuff like Summer Acerola and SSACynthia have been the greatest supports so far lol

In past hse

[haughty haven]

Well, Rock Zone against Roxanne (Rock Sync) is kinda bad right ?

[onyx current]

I suppose but it’s not like his rock zone lasts very long

That thing is like 2 turns

[haughty haven]

If you use him against Roxanne, you’ll not touch his B Move tbh

[onyx current]

I’m mostly looking for a support for Silver

[haughty haven]

||His B Move animation long about 16s-18s||

And that’ll eat a ton of time

Like Circle or Silver’s Sand

[onyx current]

Oh I meant SsSilver oop

[haughty haven]

Oh ok

But yeah you know his problem

His Move eats too much time

One of the team i can suggest is Elio + SS Silver + Gladion btw

[onyx current]

Ye that’s what I was thinking

They won’t have trouble with sides?

[haughty haven]

You can oneshot side first

Roxanne uses very weak move

[onyx current]

Ah swag

[haughty haven]

Just remember grid Elio’s Vigi

Giving him Rock guard

And he should be tank against Roxanne for a while

[onyx current]

I see

[haughty haven]

Elio himself is like

Very tanky

[onyx current]

My elios 1/5 but I think 300-500 just fine?

[haughty haven]

1/5 lacks Vigi really hurt

[haughty haven]

Yeah

Should be fine

[wooden sparrow]

all i'm saying is that elio would've gone crazy with the passive giovanni got that redirects sync damage all to himself

if he isn't going to buff team defenses it's perfect methinks

[cyan tusk]

Watch Elio get it with grid expansion

in 7 years or something

[onyx current]

lel

Hmm I have 3/5 HoliLeon but he doesn’t seem to be that useful anywhere

[haughty haven]

can the game even last until that lol

Holiday Leon just horrible tbh

[onyx current]

If I go the route of SsSilver on rox

[cyan tusk]

don’t think so

[haughty haven]

Just a normal 4 gauge move go brrr

[onyx current]

If feh is reaching 10th anniversary any game can

Fire emblem is also way less popular compared to pokemon

(Feh does out sell this game consistently tho lol)

[haughty haven]

If that happens

[night saddle]

Pokemon masters on the other hand...

[haughty haven]

Spheal should be gotten released between those right ?

[onyx current]

I think so

[haughty haven]

[onyx current]

Premier Summer unit with a protag

[haughty haven]

Ngl

I want Spheal for Pal event lol

Blue and Pink

Perfect

[wooden sparrow]

the mon is what matters here but what trainer tho?

[haughty haven]

Brendan + May

[wooden sparrow]

i'm still silently waiting for quagsire in the game and I can only imagine it with Misty (not that I particularly like Misty I just think that's the only answer dena would go with lol)

[haughty haven]

V Misty and quagsire

[cyan tusk]

Watch glacia get spheal and Koga get quagsire

For no apparent reason

[haughty haven]

Why Koga get quagsire ?

[wooden sparrow]

^

glacia spheal is understandable!

[onyx current]

The gauge is going to personally crawl out of my phone screen and kill me for the gauge on grusha

[wooden sparrow]

every trainer for me that can realistically have a quagsire is w/e to me

[haughty haven]

I think grant’s team gauge more horrible lol

Leon on -2 gauge stage

[onyx current]

Bearhaps but silver tm MGA

[haughty haven]

What about Gym leader or Mc

[onyx current]

I got base Brock to replace Leon

[haughty haven]

Ngl

I think he is better lol

[cyan tusk]

I said for no apparent reason

[haughty haven]

Idk

But pots -> Leon

[onyx current]

It’s wild that the 640 atk (no bmove) glacial lance unit sucks in Poma

[cyan tusk]

I’m lucky my fav Pokemon have already been splurged in this game (metagross and lucario)

still waiting for a decent togekiss tho

[onyx current]

Leon is 2 sides of a coin high stats cannot carry a move and low stats can be carried by BP

[haughty haven]

Ah 3rd togepi i see

With metronome ofc

[onyx current]

My favorite mon is meowstic and totodile so they were treated alright

[haughty haven]

I like Volo but god

His play style is just gacha

[onyx current]

When your most memorable trait is being the second worst pokefair of last year is not the highest bar

[haughty haven]

I really wish he has Supp cake instead

[onyx current]

Same

[haughty haven]

[onyx current]

I wish Greta got a real attack move

<- 5/5 Greta

[haughty haven]

But hey, 10/5 Volo got 13/14 in LG

Just need 10/5 to do it

[onyx current]

Sob

[haughty haven]

Nemona got 14/14, but i like her SA tho

Double flinch chance is funny

[cyan tusk]

Where is my dynamax togekiss Dena

Still hatin they gave arc and arc Steven a normal metagross I wanted the shiny

[onyx current]

Shiny would be a whole different pokemon to his “in-game” metagross so I see why they didn’t

Hmm I think these would be better but no Mc/Gym leader for Grusha

[cyan tusk]

Rare CBlue user spotted

[paper mist]

I have him but not using him

[onyx current]

I got him from those half anni tickets last year his only use for me is an exr bot in br

[paper mist]

mine is 2/5 and not caked

[cyan tusk]

I have him 1/5 and can already see where the hse banner will be going while I scout for grusha

[onyx current]

lol

[cyan tusk]

I wanna be a rare 10/5 grusha haver

So I wanna scout for him

Watch me get infinite Paulo and blue instead

[paper mist]

I could use another Paulo, he's also 2/5 but I will be caking him

[trim beacon]

YES

Also when people posting teams

Isn't hse in a few days or something

@hollow prism

[acoustic quarry]

Many did already

[crimson python]

which HS should i use selene for

[onyx current]

Check the doc but she seemed solid for grusha especially

[crimson python]

wtf

selene is ranked D on grusha

[sullen pier]

Earthquake spam really hurts her

[crimson python]

oh is that reason why

i thought it has to do with power

[onyx current]

Oh I must’ve checked wrong lol

[haughty haven]

She is really good against Brock mostly bc her fast poison and circle

[hollow prism]

I’m not doing it because it sucks ass 💀

Go spam mention someone else lolololol

[outer whale]

3 EQs, weak to ground, not the best defensively.

[cyan tusk]

Bc grusha likes to make the earth quake

And her circle is special

[paper mist]

Atticus is gonna be super good for the poison hse now that I’ve rechecked his stuff

[cyan tusk]

Yes for sure

[paper mist]

-Makes entire team take less damage from SE damage (which will be nice for the inevitable EQ/Bulldoze spam against poison teams)
-Raises team defenses (though sadly doesn’t max them out)
-Raises team offenses and speed for gauge management
-Inflicts aoe poison (most likely will be a bonus point)
-aoe poison rebuff
-sprint exr for faster syncs
-team damage buff under DF (as well as syncs at 5/5)
-Atk/SpAtk debuffs
-Flinching with aggravation on grid

[rough forum]

His big problem is grid energy and how shortly DF stays on field

[cyan tusk]

Poison/bug hse is gonna be tech+striker dominance with sshilbert/ssroxie/klara

Eviscerating stages

Also Variety Noland lmao

[acoustic quarry]

still hoping they dont do poison / bug even tho it seems unlikelly

that combo just doom me, i have so low amount of limited unit of thoose type

[cyan tusk]

Those units are only limited pairs likely lol

[haughty haven]

Me who dont have H Bugsy

[paper mist]

it stays on longer than wtz and he has extension on grid as well, and he can re-set it every sync too

I think bug/poison makes sense followed by normal/flying

[haughty haven]

My bug is awful, but i think my poison is pretty stack tho

[paper mist]

rock, ice and poison making the variety E4 very useful

though maybe less so for Agatha since there's more available supports

[rough forum]

Which feeds into his already glaring grid energy problems

[paper mist]

I'm more annoyed that the atk debuffs are 5/5 locked

[rough forum]

They're also mostly ST

[acoustic quarry]

thats looks like almost everything hehe

[acoustic quarry]

🥶

[rough forum]

Me when next HSE turns out to be bug & grass

[outer whale]

You have two options for pain.
Bug/poison
Or
Bug/flying

[paper mist]

no NY Lillie I'll be cooked

More like no Arc Alder though

[outer whale]

I find bug/flying to be more miserable tbh

[paper mist]

same

[outer whale]

Poison at least has sauce, flying is just..... lol have fun with Falkner, falkner, falkner, and skyla

[paper mist]

one of those falkners is tech

[outer whale]

Close enough

Flying supports are already down bad

[paper mist]

proton

[oak fulcrum]

not the 1/5 Noland 😭

[paper mist]

too lazy to do it for all gen pool pairs

[paper mist]

falkner, falkner, skyla, rosanta, proton, and the best, 5/5 Lysandre

[cyan tusk]

Anni Steven moment

[outer whale]

Anistaken

say that out loud for the joke

[paper mist]

with Normal, you get Cheryl, Lodge Wally, Leaf, Cheren , Classic Gio, Red, Lenora, PalVictor, Elaine and Anabel

[tidal pine]

yea, Flying would combine pretty poorly with another type with support issues

[paper mist]

Normal has the most Supports out of all the 4 types left

[tidal pine]

Normal supports somewhat workable ig

[paper mist]

they just need damage dealers

[cyan tusk]

Normal are good

Flying is just variety falkner

The rest is kinda iffy

[outer whale]

All i know is that if we don"t get a seasonal select this half anni with HBugsy, i'm cooked for Bug HSE.

[tidal pine]

yea, Flying kinda needs something new, I think

[paper mist]

cause you got Palmer, Larry, Holiday Whitney, Hugh, Maybun and Gladion and thats it

[haughty haven]

Me too

No H Bugsy

[outer whale]

🤝

[paper mist]

SC Steven for sync ig but he's more utility than anything else

[haughty haven]

But my normal is good tho

I have all of them

[paper mist]

I'm missing PalVictor

[outer whale]

The best case scenario would be Normal/flying and Bug/poison

[paper mist]

correct

[haughty haven]

My only 1/5 Normal is ||Lenora||

[paper mist]

bug/poison also runs the chance of Burgh with Poison-weak Leavanny and someone with Cutiefly or whatever it's called

[outer whale]

Also, i forgot wormadam is bug

Damn thing looks like a grass support

[paper mist]

oh and Grass-cloak Wormadam

you get less poison-weak options with Flying (togetic/kiss) or Normal (uhh......Jigglypuff and Sawsbuck?)

Flying you get bug/flying types and Normal you actually consider using Gladion and Maybun

[outer whale]

Normal/flying allows you to take advantage of Bug/flying mons, while poison/bug l can take care of uhhhh 🤔

[paper mist]

Grass/Bug, Bug/Fairy

[outer whale]

Grass/bug is very specific. Same with bug/fairy

[paper mist]

Burgh tho

[cyan tusk]

The ticket banners are waiting for you my spheal shaped friend

[haughty haven]

I tried

[outer whale]

Burgh, bugsy

[haughty haven]

And she hates me

[outer whale]

Wait no...

Ugh

[cyan tusk]

I hate burgh he spawned 4 times on the way to the pity for Giovanni

Can’r stand him anymore

[paper mist]

Leavanny, Parasect, Wormadam (Plant Cloak), Ribombee, also stuff like Orbeetle against itself for Bug

[haughty haven]

Ah yes, dodge tank

[cyan tusk]

Also flying poison could be an idea

[paper mist]

eh

[outer whale]

Flying poison sounds miserable

Supports where?

[haughty haven]

Wow Flying Supp is miserable lol

[paper mist]

you guys don't have 5/5 Lysandre?

[outer whale]

Unironically Normal is the best option for supports now

[paper mist]

yeah

[haughty haven]

3 limited, Proton, V Falkner and H Rosa

[haughty haven]

I have him

[outer whale]

Do we even qualify Hrosa as a support lmao

[paper mist]

they need damage dealers which would be alright with Flying having stuff like Cheren and SLiza

[outer whale]

Genuinely speaking

[haughty haven]

Ngl, S Liza for me is kinda underwhelming

[paper mist]

she can buff defenses
sometimes
if you get lucky with her TM

[haughty haven]

[outer whale]

Summer Liz is the only reliable physical flying damage dealer that doesn't need a two turn move

[haughty haven]

Anni Steven

[paper mist]

was gonna ask if you forgot Cheren lol

[haughty haven]

Dw, 5/5 will save him

Right?

[outer whale]

I meant physical my b

I mean..... we also have....

Lmao

No

[paper mist]

Dragon

[tidal pine]

there's Lodge Skyla?

[paper mist]

unusable in Flying HSE

[outer whale]

Oh trus

[tidal pine]

and uhhhhh... yea

[haughty haven]

Kahili EX

[outer whale]

DC Hugh stonks incoming

[paper mist]

Ethan will also get 5/5 in time for Flying HSE trust

[haughty haven]

I only miss like 2 flying pairs ?

[paper mist]

but yeah IMO best case scenario is Bug+Poison and Normal+Flying

[tidal pine]

I miss about 3 meanwhile

and 2 of them are supports (Proton and Variety Falkner)

[haughty haven]

Yeah, i miss H Rosa and NY Lance

[paper mist]

we might get a variety select at Half Anni again

[tidal pine]

although I might pick Valkner from the next Variety Select

[paper mist]

we got one last year

I think

[tidal pine]

yep

[outer whale]

I don't even want to use NY lance

[paper mist]

you dont wanna hyper beam go brrr?

[haughty haven]

You dont want to sac your HP ?

[outer whale]

Counterpoint, Bounce DPS

[paper mist]

mine's 1/5 so I wouldn't use him anyway

[outer whale]

Same

[paper mist]

tbf with only +1 atk/spatk/acc his TM isn't worth touching ever

[outer whale]

Unironically Guzma would be amazing for HSE

[haughty haven]

Still better than base lance

Not count grid ofc

[paper mist]

sadly he doesn't buff ally defenses

unless you mean base

[haughty haven]

Well

He can be your dodge tank

[outer whale]

I mean base

Pin missle PMUN gambling

[haughty haven]

So fun that Guzma comes from meme pair into strongest f2p bug

[paper mist]

of course, we still have arc alder on the way too

[haughty haven]

Ew Arc

[paper mist]

he could be a support like steven, or a field setter

[outer whale]

Field unit

100%

[paper mist]

base Alder also lacks EXR atm

[outer whale]

His superawakening is hinting he'd be a field EXR

[haughty haven]

He’ll get Sprint

bc Adrenaline 2

[paper mist]

Tech, of course

[outer whale]

Inb4 striker support

[cyan tusk]

HOLIDAY ROSA

The forever sitting in the bench

[cyan tusk]

How dare you shaft the snake so badly

[haughty haven]

Cant wait for Flying HsE and see Dabbo bring his 5/5 Anni Steven

[cyan tusk]

Counter counter point, bounce to avoid AoE moves and parameters will need a stat condition

[outer whale]

Listen, it's year of the snake. Surely he will get a good EXR, and 4/5 and 5/5 grid tiles that buff his sync move.

[cyan tusk]

Well it might be the case I candy mine to 5/5
just need the excuse always wanted to do it

[outer whale]

Unironically. WATCH ONE OF THE HSE BATTLES FOR FLYING NEED YOU TO CHANGE WEATHER.

[cyan tusk]

He needs to be reworks I don’t think 2 sync tiles can save him unless it’s like +200 atk lol

Winona now’s your chance

Rain + 60 flinch lmao

[outer whale]

Winona gaming or anni steven lmao

[storm vector]

was anni steven good on release

[paper mist]

someone with Tropius who sets Sun

[storm vector]

or was he always considered bad

[outer whale]

Lol.

[paper mist]

not really, no

[tidal pine]

I suppose he was the best Flying option on release

but tbf Flying kinda had some awkard choices at the time

[outer whale]

NC cheren and SS Ethan carrying flying damage dealers on their back while Anni Steven on the lounge chair celebrating year of the snake with no buffs to his name.

[tidal pine]

Blue wants to sync first, Nate is just... Nate, NY Lance has barely self set-up and Lysandre is not that great for damage option

[tidal pine]

I honestly do feel Flying still needs something

but more in the Hybrid front

[outer whale]

Flying needs a more competent tank

[tidal pine]

at least it's doing much better than one year ago I suppose

[outer whale]

Skyla and VFalkner are the only flying tanks i can rely on and even then, they can only do so much

Proton is ok but he feels like a lodge pair in terms of tanking

[tidal pine]

maybe that NC Hoenn Mega Salamence pair could be the thing Flying needs

[haughty haven]

Hey, he has +1 evasion after Sync

[outer whale]

Yoooo can't wait for that less than 10% dodge

[haughty haven]

But idk, he is quite nice tho

[outer whale]

He is, but maybe it's because i haven't exed him yet lmao

[haughty haven]

SpDef buffer, Agg1, confusion lol

[outer whale]

Anywho. I'm stacked for Normal and Poison ig, but flying and bug is going to be miserable regardless if you have a stacked roster or not.

[tidal pine]

Normal is one I could do well paired with a good damage type

Poison I have recently gotten some good summons (as long it's paired with a good support type)

[haughty haven]

Bug is the one i’ll dead

[outer whale]

I even have ss hilbert 5/5, and i still feel like i'm going to suffer

Dude cannot take a hit

[haughty haven]

Smh no supp limited

Like the only type i dont have any limited supp

[outer whale]

Although...... ss hilbert could be a godsend in HSE if one of the main mons are weak to fire, water, elec or Ice

Which..... is possible actually

Bug weak to fire, and flying weak to elec and ice

[cyan tusk]

Proton has 60% flinch and stacks options

[paper mist]

many bugs are flying type as well so elec/ice weak chances are high

[cyan tusk]

What’s that invested variety Noland

[haughty haven]

Huh ? Is V Noland that rare ?

[tidal pine]

I do have him 2/5 here

[paper mist]

same

[cyan tusk]

If SAHilbert can be paired with a speed debuffer (whatever is the secondary type they pair him with) he’s gonna erase any 1000 str

[cyan tusk]

Early varieties are very rare

Mine is 1/5 tho

[haughty haven]

I got him to 3/5 by mix lol

[paper mist]

variety noland has attack debuffs but his TM lowers his defenses and he's already frail

[outer whale]

Vnoland 3/5

Vnoland 3/5 pairs immensely well with SS Hilbert because of aoe Speed debuffs

[cyan tusk]

You can work around it easily with supports

[outer whale]

the problem is you kinda need H Bugsy for Support.

[haughty haven]

Yeah

[cyan tusk]

Best partner for sshilbert is 3/5 Hviola but it’s too overkill

[haughty haven]

I’ll be top 1000 when bug HSE happen

[outer whale]

nah, Hviola is worse imo

[cyan tusk]

Sshilbert doesn’t need bug zone to 1K lol

[outer whale]

Hviola takes up way too much time with stun spore when you need bug zone and the debuffing is very slow comparatively to Vnoland's sync ramping

[cyan tusk]

But Noland will be needed as a primary dmg dealer elsewhere imo

If it’s hypothetically bug/poison you wanna pair sshilbert with a trash debuffer like Janine lol

[outer whale]

if bug/poison, janine would be better yea

but you would also need a faster poison setter

[haughty haven]

I want Normal + bug tho

Bc i dont have limited supp bug lol

[tidal pine]

meanwhile my only limited supp bug is NY Lillie

which is a seasonal unit from 4 years ago

[paper mist]

it's -3 both defenses and many of the supports are a bit slower on buffing them back up

[cyan tusk]

Im a proud variety guzma owner

1/5 no ex lmao

[paper mist]

same

4/5 now thanks to mix but no cake

[haughty haven]

Where is V Plumeria owner ?

[oak fulcrum]

I mix pitied her 😭

[paper mist]

hi

[cyan tusk]

Here

[haughty haven]

Not you, you max Villain anyway

[cyan tusk]

Never ever used her

[outer whale]

I'm a proud VNoland owner lmao

[cyan tusk]

Worst than dc pairs

[oak fulcrum]

same actually

[haughty haven]

I still think her B Move is trash lol

[paper mist]

it is

[haughty haven]

I dont even remember what it does, just remember it is really trash

[paper mist]

she buffs party evasion so mayyyyybe useful?

[paper mist]

AoE, Confusion, -1 Accuracy, MGA, -1 sync accel, 2 uses

[haughty haven]

Leaves the target confused. Lowers the target’s accuracy by 1 stat rank. Applies the Move Gauge Acceleration effect to the allied field of play. Reduces the user’s sync move countdown by 1.

Yeah trash lol

[paper mist]

I never said she was good lol

[tidal pine]

VNoland is one pair I do want to invest more, but never got the time for it

[outer whale]

same

right now, i'm still debating on what to buff for this HSE.

Like i have sina ready to 3/5 but also....

I kinda don't know if i need it?

[haughty haven]

Yeah just wait

And steal

[outer whale]

her B move is already cracked

[haughty haven]

For me is Avery

[tidal pine]

oh yea, he's another one

[haughty haven]

He is really good but he’ll stuck at 1/5 until random mix or Psychic HSE lol

[tidal pine]

but I have plans to invest in more this year

[cyan tusk]

Mine has always been grusha and somehow Paulo

That’s why I’m waiting the triple rerun banner

[haughty haven]

That also makes me really one thing

Reddit voted him as the worst PF in 2024

[outer whale]

wait avery???

[haughty haven]

Yeah

[outer whale]

my Trainer in Pasio, GRETA AND MILO ARE RIGHT THERE.

[cyan tusk]

Milo is way better than you can think of tbh

[outer whale]

i ain't 10/5ing him

[cyan tusk]

Neither I am but he is a support that debuffs speed which is really really rare today

And his tm gives SEUN

B move sorry

[tidal pine]

even without my Psychic bias saying, how?

[haughty haven]

For me, Volo might be the worst lol

His kit just fighting each other

[outer whale]

Nahhhh Volo isn't bad at all

[tidal pine]

Yea, I do know Avery had some teammates problems when he was released

[cyan tusk]

I don’t even remember which pfs came out in 2024

[outer whale]

as someone who has him 2/5, he's really fun to use and has some sauce

[cyan tusk]

Which is…. Last year
Already

[outer whale]

i'd honestly put arven under Volo. and I like Arven too

[haughty haven]

Me with 5/5 and rarely use him bc how inconsistent he is

[tidal pine]

Iono, Grusha, Chase, Dahlia, Volo, Jacq, Rika, Poppy, Larry, Kabu, Klara, Avery, Greta, Ultra Elio, Ultra Selene, Arven, Giacomo, Clavell, SS Ingo, SS Submas, Eri, Dexio, Sina and Milo

[haughty haven]

As much i love Volo and funny Metronome

[tidal pine]

yea, I listed them all because I'm sorta bored today 🙃

[haughty haven]

His kit just so sad

And the cake too

I wish he had Supp instead of Tech

[outer whale]

Volo should have been support EXR

[tidal pine]

True

[outer whale]

that's the one thing i do admit

[cyan tusk]

Imma do something really unpopular quaggles may the alolan god forgive me

For me are ultra elio and giacomo

[tidal pine]

it's one of those few pairs I definitely feel he wanted another EXR

[cyan tusk]

Giacomo doesn’t add anything NcMarnie wasn’t able to do before
Even Brycen man is more useful
Also 5/5 haymaker ew

[outer whale]

Uelio isn't bad he just needs 4/5 lmao

and giacomo.... nah, that's a hot take.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1266700009622081607/1290703238991187989/diex3.gif

[cyan tusk]

Appreciated, thank you

[cyan tusk]

Doesn’t buff team defenses

For me is a no

[outer whale]

that is true.

Uelio is very selfish on buffing himself but he at least provides healing *

[cyan tusk]

And also Giacomo is great dps ok but it’s 2025 you need to do something else

And he’s slow af

I hate slow units

[outer whale]

giacomo gives me Guzma First impression energy

[haughty haven]

Mb, Avery wasn’t the worst. He is the 2nd worst by Reddit

[outer whale]

imagine saying Volo's B METRONOME BEING TOO RANDOM as a negative

It's Metronome

[haughty haven]

If only he has passive make the field last longer tho

It’ll be so good

Field from his B Move

[cyan tusk]

Kabu and grusha saved with SA imo

[haughty haven]

Funny that Grusha is the best supp in this HSE

Just bc how shit Ice/Rock supp are

[outer whale]

^^^

I COULD get Grusha through the select...... but also, ew.

1/5 Grusha ain't doing much

[haughty haven]

Imagine your Def/SpDef buffing is attached to IceZone

That why i love Gladion + Grusha combo too much lol

[glossy ravine]

mfw polarity

The dude is progressive UB god and a gauntlet 14 unit and he's in contention

[tidal pine]

looking at the days ago, it seems to be held around 5th anni date

which was the datamine that added EXR Lear

[neon prawn]

I really want Geeta one day

[neon prawn]

how tf did Avery lose to volo

his kit might be worse than greta's

[hollow prism]

NY Lillie for HS 💀

No

[rough forum]

Volo has some unique perks

Greta is just a sleeper with GT

[paper mist]

offensive debuffs, defensive debuffs, sometimes speed/accuracy/evasion debuffs, zones, defensive circle, ally sync damage up, pmum and smun for team, confusion, he can function as a tank

greta can... guarantee 3 hits on bullet seed at 5/5

[neon prawn]

fair but he's not beating Avery

[acoustic quarry]

Selene 3/5 and Elio 2/5 in one pity
Not that bad

[idle plinth]

I had an epiphany

I've been vocal about my wish for below:

Arc Alder/Volcarona
MF with Slither Wing/Iron Moth

What if March is Poison/Bug HSE with exactly those three

https://tenor.com/view/woah-robert-downey-jr-iron-man-omg-shock-gif-14588570

[tiny ore]

slither is so much cooler than moth

[idle plinth]

I like both but also agree

[tiny ore]

why are the past ones better almost across the board

[idle plinth]

Creativity

I say as a Violet player

[haughty haven]

Better name too

Smh Iron + X

[tiny ore]

i aint a huge fan of Sandy Shocks amd brute bonnet but

the other ones go hard

iron valiant is the only future one whose design i like

Gameplay wise... fuck no this thing is way too overtuned

[idle plinth]

I like Miraidon more than Koraidon, but the Scarlet Paradox are better in quality

[tiny ore]

same

[cyan tusk]

Have to learn the English names, I have the Italian ones and they are trash lol

I usually call them
Past volcarona - future volcarona lol

[rough forum]

It is

But

I was recently showed moth's attack animation

And it's now not absolute shit

I feel like

Past paradoxes are mostly incredible visually and style wise

BUT

The future paradoxes have very very cool animations

[acoustic quarry]

Arc alder of Bug HSE feels right tho

[paper mist]

No Selene or Elio copies

[acoustic quarry]

[outer whale]

Guys.....

What if we get a type rerun after this HSE

[acoustic quarry]

I would be happy :>

[sullen pier]

Dark/Ghost rerun soon yay

[haughty haven]

[paper mist]

I think we will after the final 4 are run, in July

I want Fire/Grass because it'd be funny

[haughty haven]

Actually not that bad for me lol, my roster for those type is really good

[paper mist]

SSGGio will be really good when Dark reruns

and, uh, the dark arc suit soon

[rough forum]

Psychic rerun please, it was the one I had most unit for aside fight/steel (also I got this on today's daily scout which feels like a prophecy)

[oak fulcrum]

3/5’d my Sina since I picked up a second gold candy, so that’s all my candies for this HSE done

[cyan tusk]

I’m still figuring out where to put her, I think imma go try all the stages to assemble final teams as always

ofc I’ve already rolled gears and they’ll be useless in the end trust me

[oak fulcrum]

yeah I 3/5d because I wanted that full kit, I very temporarily slotted her on the Roxanne presync but if I need to change that it’s okay

I’ve only built up my bracelets and bandannas since I find those easier to roll good stats on than pins, but I’m not prioritizing passives at all

[paper mist]

I might wind up hitting Mix pity before the HSE starts and I’d rather see if I can get a good head start before I see if I need to grab Sina or Falltal

There’s also SSN but I assume he’s not great at 1/5 either (I actually have Vilbert but 1/5 too)

[signal needle]

They can also do Dark Poison for villains HSE

[hollow prism]

2/5 Elaine is pain

That’s the easiest Single support candy use ever

[paper mist]

I don’t use her tho

She’s there for extra pairs in LG lol

Or certain missions

Oh yeah she’s 1/5 the image means mix pity would bring her to 2/5

[cyan tusk]

May I suggest sina?

Select pokefair sprint or field are nowhere to be seen lol

[acoustic quarry]

pls DeNa listen to this man

[graceful pike]

no

absolutely not

that typing combo has

horrible supports

back then

but now i guess you could say

Atticus
SS Gio Alt
Arven
Ball Guy
F.Cait
C.Calem
Event Oak (Legit)

but yeah the dark ghost hse still gave me ptsd

[paper mist]

That would only be 3 of these supports lol

Guzma is Bug

[signal needle]

L

[signal needle]

You know Bug Poison is more likely but even worse

[graceful pike]

so true

[signal needle]

You can tank with Viola i guess

[graceful pike]

NO

[signal needle]

[graceful pike]

wait til arc alder comes

on feb

then on march

surprise surprise

bug and something hse

i'm guessing bug grass

[signal needle]

He hyper beam and struggle bug in his OG, he gonna be Strike or Tech

Iris Dark arc will drop for the Dark-Poison HSE and she will be the first Multi-Sprint with UB Noland like Sync CD passive

[graceful pike]

iris dark

eh

isn't that a bit too predictable?

it could just be Arc N and zoroak

and then we saved Arc Red/Ash for Pikachu

they know both Zoroak and Pikachu are money printing machines

and also Red + N

[graceful pike]

yeah most likely

Imagine B move Struggle bug instead of B move Hyper Beam to make him standout than Lance though

Just IMAGINEEEEEEEEEEE

there is no way they are giving him something more interesting like Bug Buzz though

[night sleet]

Arc Adler can be sup

[graceful pike]

then again, Cynthia DID get Sand Tomb instead of Slash

so who knows

[night sleet]

We have now all offensive arc units

So now more look like sup time

[graceful pike]

arc sprint

who knows

that'd be so funny

[night sleet]

Can be too

Arc should get sprint or field too

[rough forum]

Field means kinda worse damage scaling early on because no supp ex if he's a tank tho, would be cool if he had zone set on sync as multi passive + supp instead imo

[night sleet]

Pref bug sup this sure need some goat unit

Yeap whit zone for ally extend

Like tm super up next sync up next for ally give

[static oar]

promoted DC Gladion to 3/5 today

should more or less be set for HSE!

[grand perch]

Can’t even imagine an Arc Field lol

Like what would it do

[night sleet]

Give rebuff set zone itc

[oak fulcrum]

Arc field just takes you to the land of many multipliers

[cyan tusk]

I don’t see arc getting sprint or field. Rather getting passives like tapus or adrenaline3 lol

[signal needle]

Zone circle and also terrain

Ice Arc field or Grass Arc field wud be fitting

Basically Variety Marnie and others except yoh have double rebuff too

Or maybe the Arc Field unit will be the first one that can set WTZ permanently

Arc Field Arceus - change to type weakness of opponent and then set zone accordingly

[night sleet]

Arceus in main games is bad legend nothing special

Not expect it will change

[signal needle]

Just give it zone and nothing else

It can Body Slam

Cus DC usage

B-Judgment 1 time move that deal 999999 damage

Actually that wud be cheating on all 17 dcs for beginners, so good

[hollow cove]

Tied for #1 with Mew and ||Sunkern|| in ||Pokéathlon||, I believe

[oak fulcrum]

oh boy that sure is a sentence if I've ever read one

[tiny ore]

sunkern op plz nerf

[grand perch]

How so?

[paper mist]

I might anyway since I remembered that there will probably be a Variety Select at half anni for me to grab Marnie

but then again at Half Anni last year they did regional PF ones but idr if Rei and Akari were in it

so Falltal could be more useful to grab since Seasonals run less often than PFs/Selects

Rei was in the Regional one so if they do it again Sina will be too

it was only Paulo who was left out

I'll just hold off on selecting someone til after the first day

[graceful pike]

and also...

it may look like i'm trying to make SS N work but i just wanna see how useful he is in most people's eyes

[graceful pike]

You guys do realize Kukui is WEAK to water right?

[sullen pier]

something something Staggering 5

just flinch ™️

[graceful pike]

eh

i suppose so

[cyan tusk]

With proper flinch chain you should be able to make it work even with water weakness

Even if he dies at the sync it’s possible that Omastar is already in range of being killed right after lol

[paper mist]

Was checking the QRTs on the hse announcement and man jp players really hate grant for some reason

[cyan tusk]

…don’t they have like SSdiantha?

[paper mist]

The character

They don’t know the details of the hse yet

[haughty haven]

Oh right

They dont like datamine

Or leak

[paper mist]

They keep calling him a cockroach and other stuff

[haughty haven]

As they say

[paper mist]

Idk about the BBS site I haven’t checked it in like 2 months

[cyan tusk]

Poor grant

[haughty haven]

Cant wait until they see the rule

And maybe they’ll love Grant lol

[acoustic quarry]

what does taht even mean tho ?

How can they " not have " datamine ?

Oh my mind readed have, not like

-.-

[onyx current]

What is their problem with him 😭

[haughty haven]

🇯🇵 player just dont like it

Although my 🇯🇵 friends dont mind it, most dont like it

[acoustic quarry]

Hum

I think that most of them look at it even if they don't like it, its just there, why would you not look at it i mean 😄

[haughty haven]

Idt they use Discord or Reddit that much tho

[acoustic quarry]

Oh if they don't, they use other stuff, like " do youu " instead of youtube for china as an exemple

stuff like that

[haughty haven]

But anyway yeah

Most dont know what stages even have

And datamine not as big and important like us here

[storm vector]

they will figure stuff out too soon in due time

[haughty haven]

That why although we know LG rotation already, Naomi’ll not update it until it get released

[storm vector]

hell in past HSE it was the japanese players who scored the highest

though that's probably more luck on their end since comps are all thesame

[main pulsar]

What the Italy names?

[main pulsar]

They don’t look at it on principle

It’s a spoiler

Some of them anyway

[grand perch]

Not everyone goes out of their way to do so

[acoustic quarry]

Yy ofc but then its kinda like everyone in the world not especially jp people right

Is what i meant 😄

[topaz sleet]

i just realized time trial and more attacks are both bonuses 💀 seems counterintuitive

[storm vector]

time trial is a staple at this point

it has been a thing for like 5 hse's in a row now

[night sleet]

Dena put this so we cant hit cap like water fairy.

[night saddle]

Is there any point in investing into dc Nemona if I have ss Diantha?

[night sleet]

Nemona is not tech so realy no point . Like she not need . But she have flinch like kukui. Depend on rooster. Some may need some not

[night saddle]

My limited pairs are 3/5 Irida, SS Diantha, NC Red, Paulo, 2/5 NC Silver, and 1/5 SS N and V Hilbert. Not amazing options outside of a couple stages

[night sleet]

Then not think you need it. Since you most need supports

[cyan tusk]

You will invest on her anyway sooner or later bc it’s just dc copies not candies. I mean she can be useful but not crucial

Like dc gladion is also better for this hse, he raises defenses and has potions and debuffs plus triple axel is 3 hits for number of attacks

[night saddle]

True, she's otherwise just pretty low priority as far as leveling up dc pairs (I have three other pairs I'd rather 3/5 first) and I currently have the tickets to 3/5 one pair. If she were to be useful for this hse I'd definitely prioritize her

Miscalculated, mix pity won’t be hit til like Sunday

Split SS Diantha and NC Silver onto different team comps and set DC Nemona to NC Silver

I have a good feeling that NC Silver and SS Diantha on the same team could just be overkill on an event that really wants you to spread out your roster

I still gotta roll feathers

[cyan tusk]

Another option could be SSdiantha +nc silver + paulo as a support tbh

And try to pre sync

I’ll give it a try

Paulo would die almost immediately unless he can get his B move out.

He's psuedo tanky post EXR, but tanking a 1000 str attack would definitely make him want potions before B moving

[cyan tusk]

Sync acc + Max guard + good gears + praying for a tm instead of a damage move would be enough

[haughty haven]

How many Silver’s Tm ? Yes

[cyan tusk]

How much dmg reduction under rock zone you want?

Yes

But still SSdiantha + NcSilver + Paulo lacks gym leader/main character theme skill

[night sleet]

You need sup like bruno
