No good support option. Couldn't tank more than 3-4 of Thorton's moves. Also, I'd already used SS Hilda already. Don't know whether it would have made a difference either way though.

Got 3/5 Bertha recently. First time on typing a Ground type stage I think.

Giovanni's DP ✅

#

Started with Dark boost. Bought Rival on A1, Kalos on A5 and A9.

Did H Darach on A10. VH was Anabel, couldn't change weather without losing points.

#

Another free/genpool pairs only clear.

I wanted to do 2 weeks of this and then 2 weeks of overkill with OP pairs. But this already feels like overkill, so I'm gonna continue to do free/genpool pairs for the rest of Sinnoh.

Aaron - I retried this fight for hours last time with the same team. Best I could do was 2.5k. Hilda was 2/5 and non-EXd. Endurance was hell to deal with.

This time, Adr supp EX, Hilda clears stage with sync. First attempt clear.

Bertha - Same thing. Blow up the stage on 2nd sync.

Lucian - SEUN sync, OHKO mid, Confusion procs + Spiky Shields to clean sides.

Flint - Same as R1 and R2 but it was first sync and Kris is broken.

Cynthia - R4 param, Supp EX quad queue, nuke mid, quad queue Play Rough OHKO right, Play Rough OHKO left.

Destruction comes in many forms

One of these forms is Trout's Revenge vs Sinnoh

RIP Sinnoh, you were difficult once upona time

true stag
#

I'm glad Sinnoh is now the difficulty benchmark for new CS regions though

frank island
#

I mean, it was the shock factor that made Sinnoh Sting/traumatic.
The CS went from being mindlessly easy to you actually have to counter the gimmicks or face a very difficult time - all started with Sinnoh(my favorite Gen of all time MalvaReckless ), which why some people still deem it the hardest out of everything

brave parcel
#

Yeah, this. It's not that Sinnoh and Hoenn are too difficult. They just require more mindfulness compared to other regions except a few fights like Flying weak Koga that make you have to think.

#

I don't wanna screw over casual/new players, but I hope this trend continues with the next region. And maybe they could raise the cap to 4k/stage. I'd love to have more complex CS stages that are tankier and/or hit harder.

#

Glacia stages come to mind for hard-hitting stages where I had to sleep/flinch lock to make my supp survive.

true stag
#

They have to add new params before giving us a higher point cap. Even 3k is already pushing the comforts of certain team comps

trim remnant
#

Yeah, 4k would be pretty inaccessible for a lot of players without new parameter additions

#

Even 3.5k without those is pushing it

#

Personally though, I just want more parameters to have more stuff to play around with in CS

#

Introducing CS lvl 2 in Sep

brave parcel
#

Yeah ofc we'd need more parameter options. The obvious ones that come to mind are sprint/field x 3 damage. But there could be more. Like Mex said, I'd also appreciate more variety.

if that happens they better buff auto to do that too

Starting with poison upgrade and bought Unova on A1. Rally looking good this week.

brave parcel
#

Was able to get through with only the 100 points spent on A1.

Had role boosted OP pairs for all stages. Geeta and Akari were able to carry A4-6, SST did A7 and A8, Cerena + Grusha A9.

And I think you can guess which UB it was on A10.

Behold Trout flopping through another 15k Sinnoh with free/genpool pairs DawnNom

Aaron - This is the first CSMM stage I ever attempted. Had absolutely no idea what I was doing back then. Well that's changed now, and Hau gets to bask in the glory of finally conquering Electric weak Aaron.

Gave them really low bulk and had half ally hp at start. Flinch to tank, flinch Heal Order, Hau nukes mid and cleans up sides on the next Discharge.

Flint - Thought I'd need to EX Olympia for this, but I was wrong. Nuke + quad queue Stored Power for mid, sides go down to one Stored Power each. Pretty easy clear.

Lucian - Ghost weak with Wise Entry? Yeah, I had no one for this. So we go back to Ol' reliable Poison Stall, this time featuring immortal Mismagius.

I was supposed to do this R1 and Aaron on R3, but I messed up the order in my head and had to tank unnecessarily hard hitting EQs.

Bertha - Same team as the week before last. Could have tried with Brendan, but mine isn't properly invested and frankly, don't like using him. Maybe I'll bring him to more CS stages once I've EXd him.

Cynthia - Half sync. Full offense params. Riley could only eat one move (except Tri Attack), so I needed them to go Move + TM or TM + TM at the start. Had to fish for 50% Max Move crit, couldn't afford Sharp Entry on grid or delay sync for another turn. Sync low-rolled on the run that was successful (it can OHKO sides on high-roll), but fortunately, Riley was able to clean up the stage with -1 accuracy. One Close Combat apiece for all enemy Pokémon, no hits taken. #1208860837947899965 message

Started with Dark upgrade and a Sync boost on A1. Bought Champion upgrade and one more sync boost along the way.

A10 VH was Palmer. Not doable without Rei. Ended up doing H Thorton.

brave parcel
#

Until next time, Sinnoh. You were a worth opponent AlderW

R1 Aaron - Same story as some of my other clears this time around. Failed this stage miserably with Clay, so we had to come back for revenge.

R2 Flint - One day I'll have Olivia move levesl for Rock weak stages, but today wasn't that day. So stall it is.

Also, next time, I'll have Roark built and ready for this, regardless of what move level Olivia is.

R3 Lucian - Trout back again with some Bugsy/Noland propaganda. Y'all can expect to see me recommend this team to new players if I get the chance. Best bug-type duo in the game and you can't change my mind!

R4 Bertha - K Grimsley massacre.

R5 Cynthia - Brought Winona along for weather change and because she's been benched since it got May.

This was a fun CS rotation for me. Was finally able to conquer all the stages that gave me hell as a noobie. Loved every second! SkylaYay

#

Next up is Hoenn. The first CS region I cleared with 15k. Gonna try to replicate a few of those clears again whenever possible. But with Anni coming, you can expect to see some OP unit annihilation of Hoenn CS TabithaHehe

Got 2/5 Steven on a lucky multi, pitied 3/5 EmmaCelebrate

Lucky stage week!!

Ran into Palmer without Rei a few week ago, went from free A10 to tickling Regigigas. Rei supported by C Rosa is such a cheatcode for Palmer.

Quick 19k pt clear this week! SerenaSip

R1 Phoebe - Gave them too much hpRileyHaha.

Fortunately, Red and Penny survived sync. KOd mid on 3rd sync. Definite param issue, will revisit and try to presync this.

R2 Glacia - This team doesn't care about SEx2 lol.

R3 Sidney - To reiterate, Bugsy + Noland is the best bug type duo in all of Pasio.

R4 Drake - Hot knife through butter. Lance makes funny numbers. Brain like.

R5 Steven - Fell just short of presync. Cynthia survived, KOd mid with a 90k B-Move. Again, probably param issue. Should be possible to presync.

~~ Can you guess the 3k imposter? SidneyYippee ~~

#

I picked half ally hp at start instead of max hp 4 because I thought this team would struggle. So not max hp, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be a problem anyway.

19k MalvaReckless

Just leaving this here as a roster update #gacha-and-flex message

#

Some great additions to the roster this month. I don't think it changes much for most game modes. But I'm eyeing a decent LG streak as soon as possible (30- 50). Failed miserably last time going for 30, ended with 23 and a bad case of burnout. Roster has grown a lot since then, might give it another try next time.

New PB without lucky stage! SerenaSip

Started with Kalos. Bought Sync Boost A1, and Kalos on A10 cause couldn't keep SS Hilda alive.

Made it to 25 EXR pairs today with Anni Lillie, SS Wally, Chase and SC Selene. All of them contributed to this run! SkylaYay

This week it's Wallace blocking 20k WallaceThisIsFine

All other stages are 4k. Everyone except Phoebe is presync.

R1 Sidney - Didn't get to 2nd sync. Destruction.

R2 Glacia - Nuke sides on 2nd sync. +8 PMUN + SEUN V-Create deletes mid.

R3 Phoebe - Needed a 3rd Marnie (1/5) B-move to clear. Cerena was only here to debuff + rebuffs (SEx2 + Phys DR). Marnie and Rosa survived sync, 97k b-move KOd mid right after.

R4 Drake - Hala popping off with Stevens.

R5 Wallace - Tried to 4k off-type this, but couldn't get it after trying a few different teams. With no good on-type options, I decided to bring back Egg Grookey and settle for 3k points. Perma-sun, Solar Blade spam.

brave parcel
#

Not expecting to do too well with this roster. Hopefully I can get all rewards at least.

All 3/5. Took quite a few retries.

Some Overkill Duo runs this week! SerenaSip

R1 Glacia -

R2 Phoebe - This run is too easy as a duo, and relies too much on FMUN procs if solo eva hacks. Maybe someday I'll have the patience to solo this.

R3 Drake - Sync cleared stage.

R4 Sidney - Reset for no Dark Pulse to start. Just needed Steven to stay alive long enough to give Skyla SEUN for sync (used the one from TM for a +6 PMUN Brave Bird). Sync nuked stage.

R5 Wallace - Infinite psychic terrain. Quad queue Stored Power to deny Toxic. Sides took 2 hits each, had to tank an Earthquake from left and a Sludge Wave from right.

Phoebe was definitely annoying. Not many stages where I find C Rosa struggling to take hits. ST spam - Rosa down, AoE spam - Lucian down. Waa frustrating.

But Sidney was still worse though with his flinches, Bullet Seed KOing through Endurance, and Razor Leaf crits. Took way too many retries just to get to 2nd sync.

And then Skyla missed crit on mid SophoKEK

#

Wasn't expecting too much from this seed. Surprised I was able to get 9k again.

Started with Ground, bought Fighting on A3 for insurance. Had to buy another Fighting on A6 cause Field/Spring into Sentry Entry. And then one more on A10 cause Argenta decided my luck wasn't bad enough already.

frank island
#

The more EXRs you get in general, the more likely you will get averagely 9k or higher
It makes up a lot for the bonuses and covering for stages where you might struggle (field/sprints)

#

I been clearing my cake coins tickets and PUtickets first week the past 2 month - I think because now I rarely go into a stage with minimum Bonuses

brave parcel
#

Yup, the EXRs have been helping a lot. Made up for some lost points on A8 with 3 double boosted pairs.

#

Dare I say, with a good starting boost and seed, might be able to surpass 10k soon.

#

It still takes me a few weeks to clear the shop, but I always have excess points after buying out coins, PUs and orbs every month now.

#

How many EXRs do you have Jo?

Special CS (Steel) mono-type clear done! SerenaSip

R1 Glacia - Reset for ST moves. Easy presync. Got 3 moves after Lillie sync (QQ bmove, SS, bmove).

R2 Bertha - Reset for ST moves. Grimsley OHKOs mid with sync, QQ metal burst, flinch + clean up left.

R3 Olivia - Post sync. Wikstrom tanked attacks pretty well in shield form. SC Selene tanks sync with 60%+ hp remaining. Flinch fest post sync.

R4 Grimsley - wasted 1 sync CD to get -5 atk. Marnie sync + QQ Iron Head KOs mid. Flinches + denials for clean up.

R5 Red - Post sync. Reset for TM first turn and never let Red get an atk off till the end. As long as Red doesn't Atk, they can't even get to Steven's Endurance.

A fitting farewell to Hoenn TabithaHehe

Could have been a full solo run (mayyybe?!) if Glacia didn't have increased defenses under Hail GlaciaGems

R1 Glacia - If Glacia hits once, I lose. Reset for double TM to start, replace pre-sync Hail, SS Hilda makes the stage disappear.

R2 Phoebe - 1/5 SC Irida evaded and FMUNed her way past Phoebe. Lives sync if 50%+ hp, double buddy move + sync mid, deny sides and clean up. This one took the most retries by far.

R3 Drake - First attempt, used Jo's outlive setup. Waiting for another AS Steven buff next update. Make it happen, DeNA!!

R4 Sidney - Sidney would be a problem if Gladion wasn't broken enough to clear the stage before it mattered.

R5 Wallace - Phys moves powered up. Geeta clears stage in 4 actions: MS - BMS - TM - BMS.

And with that Hoenn CS comes to an end. Might be my favorite CS month ever, especially given it was anni and how much my roster grew DawnNom

R2 Shauntal - SEUN sync + SEUN Ice Hammer stage byebye.

R3 Caitlin - Nuke mid, Brutal Swing + Confusion procs for clean up.

R4 Marshal - One Stored Power + Sync KOs mid, OHKO sides with Stored Power. Bianca set terrain and used TMs for sync CD.

R5 Iris - Weaken one side, nuke mid, duo queue to deny side and clean up.

Next week looks soloable but idk. If I'm feeling lazy might just quick overkill.

Not a full solo run, but close enough!! DrakePain

R1 Caitlin - Evasion, flinch, survive sync, blow up stage.

R2 Shauntal - Cheese

R3 Grimsley - Pretty RNG heavy run, but not too bad. Mostly need to avoid Iron Head spam and crits.

R4 Marshal - Tried eva hacks with Blue, got close a few times. But I didn't have much patience remaining after R3. So L Skyla and DC Silver stepped in to make it a free win.

R5 Alder - Halfsync + HS1, nuke stage with sync.

#

Here's the run with C Leaf. So happy I finally have this pair!! EmmaCelebrate

Used potion just in case I don't get MGR. Failed a few times because I lacked guage at the end. Knew Leaf didn't need the damage. Wasn't expecting her to clear after missing crit on sync though.

Also, wishing a very happy and prosperous new year to everyone!!! 🎉

Steamrolled CS with my strongest teams these past 2 weeks. Still 185 gems away from the last single to pity C Blue. Will get him this reset and I can finally do this week's CS. Given the weaknesses, I'll probably do a 20k (or more) on-type run.

It hurts having to pity MF/AFs but I'll finally have C Blue today!! Both happy and pissed.

Hey, everyone!! DawnNom

It's been a while but I finally found the motivation to do CSMM after a long time.

Been very busy with applications for college and honestly got kinda burnt out. Hadn't quit playing, just wasn't playing as much and missed some stuff along the way.

Tried the 3 new pairs I've gotten since the last post here. And to no one's surprise, they're really good. C May is plain unfair.

quiet oxide

nc may casually one taps every water weak cs stage

brave parcel
#

Yup, was able to stack all offensive params cause it doesn't matter. May clears before they can attack.

brave parcel
#

Koga was giving me problems, so I went with the C May band-aid RileyHaha

R1 Karen - Flinch hacks.

R2 Will - Circle, KO stage with b-move.

R3 Bruno - Eva hacks. Opp left with no gauge. Spam Stored Power with MGR gridded.

R4 Koga - Race 'em to see who kills first, May starts at half hp to make it fair.

R5 Lance - No sync needed, Make it Rain spam with Circle hp recovery enough to outlast stage.

I wasn't going to have enough to pity, so I decided to go for the Alola NCs instead. But I guess I really wanted him, ended up yoloing 5 multis, got him on the last AlderW

So here's some damage/screenshot shenanigans enabled by Alder's insane accel.

Pasio Special Stadium monotype

R1 Lorelei - Bea hits too hard. Have gotten rusty with quad queues. Took a few tries, cleared as soon as I landed qq.

R2 Hala - First attempt clear. Everything (enemy moves, MGR, didn't get Paralyzed, crits) lined up or this would have taken a while. Hammer Arm spam can be a run killer.

R3 Glacia - Spam Dynamic Punch, sync, win.

R4 Wikstrom - Flinch hacks, Bianca eats syncs like a champ, clean up.

R5 Silver - R4 buff for some early flinches, sync with Korrina for zone, Rei b-move one-shots stage.

Another solo week SerenaSip

R1 Acerola - Didn't get to sync. B-move spam more than enough.

R2 Kahili - Got Sina from the guaranteed tickets we got. Couldn't be happier with her performance at 1/5 no less. Granted half-sync is probably what made the solo possible.

R3 Hala - Another type covered for soloes by a broken af Arc Suit.

R4 Olivia - Easy money for Lvl 200 Cerena.

R5 Kukui - Presync params but tanked one sync anyway. Carmine out heals and out Endures a lot of damage. Nuke mid post sync with Terra move.

brave parcel

Some more CS soloes Rei

(please update the mode already)

R1 Lorelei - TM TM Sync Bmove The End

R2 Bruno - 1/5 Clavell Eva hacks, survive sync, clean up

R3 Agatha - TM Bmove

R4 Lance - ... _ ... ... _

R5 Blue - Half sync + HS1, sync into qq bmove

Hey!!

Got Red early but I don't think we have enough gems remaining for another pity. Still YOLOing for Gloria then Irida if I get lucky again.

I think you got all 3 right? @storm mountain

brave parcel
# fiery needle Wow now I have to try It I EX'ed him and he's also 1✨

You mean the Clavell run? I have him on SP3 with +100atk gears. Might be possible without these, but idk if it's enough damage to finish off mid before they get sure crit (mid goes TM, Sure Crit, move after sync). Last move before sync is +accuracy so eva hacks become unreliable and you wanna kill it before that.

This week's CS run SerenaSip

R1 Lorelei - Max Move into QQ TM then spam b-move.

R2 Bruno - 1/5 Cynthia, TM -> Sandstorm -> bmove spam until stage dead. Doesn't even get to first sync.

R3 Lance - TM Circle, spam regular move until stage dead. Again, no sync needed.

R4 Agatha - 1/5 Sina, Eva hacks, survive sync, easy cleanup. Sina by herself nearly gets to 2 syncs before opp gets their first.

R5 Blue - Very similar to this run (#1208860837947899965 message) but with perma field so it was a lot easier.

22k point duos to welcome Sinnoh! GladionSip

Could have been monotype as well if I had a 2nd decent Bug HildaCry
All runs were presync.

4k Bertha -

3/5 Carmine HS1, Clavell on CS2

Had to reset for no High Horsepower or Sand Tomb at the start + give Carmine HS1 and land 1st Qq to get 2 syncs. This one took the longest to get the params right and then get the proper RNG.

#

4k Lucian -

4/5 Rosa HS1, 3/5 Alder SP3

Rosa LS and 4/5 aren't needed. Left out move gauge -2 to get max nuke. 3 sync buffs + 7 SMUN enough to blow up mid from nearly max hp.

#

5k Flint -

3/5 Gloria HS1, 3/5 Silver CS2

I didn't think this would work. Underestimated how broken Gloria is. The accel + amp is insane. Easiest run by far.

#

4.5k Cynthia -

5/5 Wally HS1, 3/5 Gladion SP3

Wally for triple HS1 (passive, grid, LS), Discourage 2 and zone. Gladion sync into SEUN bmove nearly enough to KO stage.

Well I'm broke again after YOLOing for AF Blue and used another 3 multis on triple MF banner. Got 4/5 Lear from the ticket.

Just checked the banner and I'll definitely do the multis for tickets and pray I get either Irida or Adaman. Need Grass coverage as well.

A bit early so that's a nice bonus!

Very very tempted to use 2 of my 4 gold candies to get her to 5/5 but idk. It'll take a while to get Strike candies so I might do it. Only thing keeping me is a potential Serena, Hilda or Wally Arc Suit. Idk...

This is with CS2 cause no Deluxe cookies. With 5/5 and SP3/CS3, she can do two 1000000+ damage AoE nukes.

Had to grid Sunscreen 2 and use gear with hp to survive. Hope for MGR procs and good move RNG.

#1208860837947899965 message

5/5 Serena vs. Rika

Can't have Rika TM turn 1. Needed to get Brutal Swing + TM in before opp first move so Cerena can set rain before opp sync (one shot if sync under sun). Double queue Brutal Swing, and hope for Flinch or -accuracy fails. If first Brutal Swing flinches, it's over (2 WS per opp, and can eat one move from left).

PoMa Battle Logs - Trout_K

#

1-1 C8+ Bea (5/5 Hilda Sabrina Red)

F Shauntal setup by Dark

Optimized down to the second to squeeze out the last bmove. Need the confusion proc at start.

All this because I didn't have Adr on Red. Which would allow tm instead of bmove, and buy enough time for last Hilda bmove without confusion proc.

Or better yet SP3 on Hilda. Sabrina bmove highroll was 9.4m. Wouldn't even have needed a 3rd bmove at that point.

#

Setup w/o F Shauntal by Aurochs

Turns out doing less damage is better if you can't 2-tap the stage cause opp tm animation is faster than death animation... bruh

#

Couldn't try the 1-1 on final day @frank island, we were in a rush cause of time constraints. Runner got it down to 8% in a previous round without 1x spd, so there was a good chance he'd get it.

Your runs are crazy good too, we didn't start 1-1 psychic til later

I don't have Sabrina so I didn't imagine how the stage works even

brave parcel
#

We figured it out pretty quickly, but I wasn't able to get it until a later round when we had time to spare. A lot of minor optimizations went into saving those few seconds. For eg: Hilda TM after Sabrina TM so e-terrain gets canceled.

#

Also, I wasn't expecting Sabrina to hit this hard. This team in general has some insane burst.
