Damage Challenge

[normal parcel]

Dragon weak shouldn't score that high despite AOE because no nuke rule

Fighting weak may be harsh because no DPS, and my best nuker is probably bianca

I scored 1m back then but with DPS (no corless strat)

[crude sandal]

Tho Chase has supprt EX with sprint EXR and you can double stack Adrenaline on him

And OFC the Kanto Analysis too

[normal parcel]

Just realized that I had a better skill gear avaible and if I used that in my 998k run I would have definitely got 1m

[frail owl]

I can hit 800k 2/5 Geeta

[fluid venture]

What's ST and MT ?

[forest forge]

single target

multi target

[fluid venture]

Thanks.

[fluid venture]

Why searching for ST or MT like there ? A MT move is like a ST move if there is only one opponent, right ?
Or is it linked with some rules we might have for the challenges ?

[lethal siren]

Can u tell strategy and pair other than steven there

[sweet grail]

Nah this is truly fomo

[eager zealot]

Could anyone do this strat and reach 1 mil? Just asking. I need some enlightment..

[rapid sparrow]

Wait a seconf

Would 3/5 Emma

Be able to 1mil?

[frail owl]

Just sync rush to get as many sync buffs as you can then use bmove with 10 PMUN

[copper otter]

Fomo because you can't get an extra 50 tickets just so you can get a single unit a few days earlier?

[neat raft]

[clever wasp]

Did you save super effective up next for the last two syncs?

Sometimes things could also come down to not getting a final sync in time

[eager zealot]

Yep
Also CS2 on Roxie. It's getting annoying to roll SP3 over and over but still missed.
Idk is that the case🤷‍♂️

Or 5/5 gonna change a thing?

[cloud timber]

it's hardly feasible to get sp3 on everything so don't sweat that too much

[clever wasp]

I honestly don't think that would end up missing you that many points

[cloud timber]

minimal difference if all your syncs crit

[clever wasp]

^

[eager zealot]

Yea, soon SP3 would be the rarest LS because this event lol

[clever wasp]

You'd have to miss at least a couple sync crits for this.

[eager zealot]

That's why I hate RNG crit

Especially for this

[cloud timber]

i'm already frequently hearing about people running out of deluxes and it's only the 4th rotation lol

[eager zealot]

You did it with that strat?

[clever wasp]

Isn't it ironic that super powered 3 was the last cookie from last gauntlet and it's the one everyone wants noe

[clever wasp]

I haven't cuz I'm at 1/5 Roxie but it'll probably be the way I go

[eager zealot]

Single target enemies is so annoying
The irony for SS Roxie, even if she has Strike exr.

[copper otter]

So i recorded this to show to someone trying to understand an oleana clear.... turns out to be my best score now lmao.

[unique abyss]

I dont have even bronze deluxe cookies, last rotation was so bad to farm effectively, I hope the next lg will have latios

Anyway, what's the max score with geeta now?

[eager zealot]

So you don't.
The thing is, I need the exact clear 1 mil prove.
Anyway, I copied that strat from tosakinto, and his Roxie is 5/5.

[clever wasp]

I hope 5/5 doesn't matter cuz I won't be pushing Roxie that high

[cloud timber]

there is a chance i could lab out some reliable auto teams for next rotation and have videos up

bc apparently i might be better at building those than others

[copper otter]

I should mention, i actually used Leer from SC Steven.... i underestimated how fast it is ngl

Just did a comparison
B leer first use will be 10 seconds long
Next uses will be 7 seconds long if no evasion is still there.

that's pretty short for a B move

@last stream @warped gulch @true locust could be useful info for you all.

Also tackle is genuinely a good move to sync rush with if you're running low on gauges

It's like... a second slower than stun spore/drench failing, but still very respectable speed for one gauge

[lapis yarrow]

That was impressive. What can someone replace Geeta with?

[eager zealot]

Hmm, is there's a big different in term of sync dmg?

[copper otter]

Anything that can apply poison zone

[clever wasp]

Probably depends on her grid and how strong the extra move levels are

Idk what the difference will be

[copper otter]

The move levels don't mean anything for this run specifically

Haymaker damage is just bonus damage for one sync when the only thing that matters is the extended poison zone

Like if ANYTHING. The only thing that mattered on Geeta's grid is surprisingly IMPERVIOUS.

Play rough atk drops waste time so...

[rapid sparrow]

Would 3/5 emma be able to 1 mil or noooo

I have 2/5 Emma, worth giving her 1 candy over giving 2 candies to either Oleana or Geeta

[wicked matrix]

Redlax might improve Koga damage, or Janine is still the “best” option?

[rain copper]

skip did around 800k with 3/5 Emma and non 3/5 Geeta iirc?

You should check his run

[rain copper]

Is the third BP Barry?

[rapid sparrow]

Skip being my #1 hey can i copy your homework

[wicked matrix]

Him or Colres, but all the videos seems to use Barry!

[raven saffron]

Probably bcs barry helps with some offensive buffs

[copper otter]

Barry has support ex

That's literally why

[cunning rock]

Finally, Marnie got full para'd twice for 1M

[true locust]

Chase can help too reach 1m +

Maybe even more if get more his trainer move i got zero mp

[eager zealot]

Ok, this is what I'm looking for bro. Thx.
You record it or no?

[cunning rock]

https://youtu.be/0C8sM9Vf1LA

You can refer to @civic island 's run. It's what I used to reach 1M

[rapid sparrow]

Would
Oleanna
Emma 3/5
And Snorlax
Not be better than Geeta because damn her zone setting eats time like crazy
Oleana to poison and Venom drench fail?
Snorlax for SEUN
Emma for nuke?

[eager zealot]

Nice!
I'm tired about this mode.
Gonna test it out

[golden tiger]

Oh this is exactly what i need lmao

[ivory kestrel]

Is it a smart investment to put 2 candies into my 1/5 Oleana? I wasn't considering it, til i heard that Poison ST is one of the ranked events; so same time i can get 1M in this current 1M

[golden tiger]

Tysm 🙏

[vagrant ivy]

who do I go with here

[copper otter]

As someone who candied her from 2/5 to 3/5.
The damage buff she gets is immense, and will be incredibly useful for the ranked event. She is also the strongest poison sync nuker in the game.

[calm anvil]

All I can do

[copper otter]

With that said, she may provide use for HSE and of course Pasio stadium, but she may already be fine with tbose at 1/5 already. It all depends if you want to invest in her

[ivory kestrel]

but 1M is needed for ranked event right? and there is no way to get 1M in ST poison without her, barring RNG shenanigans with 3/5 Geeta

[compact scaffold]

all you get beyond 500k from the ranked event is sync orbs

the rewards are pinned btw

[acoustic chasm]

And you don't need 1M in every stage, it's 1M combined

[frail owl]

Yeah 333k/stage is pretty doable if your account is decent, even with the rules

[acoustic chasm]

Btw, here's an attempt without Red or Steven (from before I got 1M with NC Rosa)

Cheren does not need grid at all

[sour lark]

Wouldn't Koga do way better in a single sync

[eager zealot]

Yea, at least it's done
Might as well try again later for better rng para

[dense citrus]

Rip couldn't use one extra Redlax TM.. barely made it

[dry whale]

If that's your only options just try to get to 500k , so far 678k was the highest ive been able to push Koga

[dense citrus]

Did the devs give any hint about this event happening again..? Trying to decide if candy or not Redlax to 3/5.. 🤔

[ivory kestrel]

big sigh of relief. Oleana... maybe someday... but not today lol

[calm anvil]

How should Koga work here

[plush palm]

the only thing redlax gets at 3/5 for dc is adrenaline which doesnt matter too much

sprint Cake is a way bigger boost than 3/5

tho ofc if you wanna do the torn LG solo 3/5 is great

[ivory kestrel]

welp, this is all i get when i click the Rewards in the pins

[plush palm]

this event is also pretty much twice a week + ranked on the 22nd. we have this confirmed in the datamine tho ofc dena can change their game on a whim if it makes them a few more whale $$$

[acoustic chasm]

That links to the image that's attached to that same post

[ivory kestrel]

oh lol, sorry about that

[rare apex]

all these clears with bp barry/redlax/ss roxie! do they require the mute man to have cake? 😮

i kinda wanna push for 1m now

[plush palm]

you can def make up for lack of cake w/ more TM mprs

but ofc... cake is always good

[rare apex]

ah so the tm is spammed? i just used it before roxie's syncs

maybe a cheeky one before max ooze if possible

[plush palm]

Cake is like... 3 sync accels

[rare apex]

yeye i know, i'm saving my sprint cake for brendan though

[plush palm]

up to you

id cake bren for the stats but red ate all my cake coins

the extra bulk alone would make his LG solos much less obnoxious

[rare apex]

that plus sprint OP

[calm anvil]

I do not have SS Roxie. I'm so gonna score low

Next best thing I have is Koga, and then Looker

[plush palm]

imo its the worst role for LG but i'll take any buff to bren

you might be able to get some use out of him on like... a koga team

idk if its worth running him over barry tho

[unborn otter]

i got 927k using ss roxie, redlax, and bp barry. maybe a sync didn't crit

[plush palm]

idk how debuffs factor into the dmg calc

[calm anvil]

No SS Roxie, low points

[plush palm]

anyone know what cake coin is tomorrow

hopefully its support w/o needing to buy w/ voucher

if it isn ill have to buy it

[rain copper]

It's support

[plush palm]

thanks

gonna see what i can do w/ exr emma

was planning on caking her anyways for LG

[calm anvil]

I need to 5/5 Koga and fast

And does he need EX?

Never mind, I'll focus on Rally instead

[plush palm]

for DC yeah he needs ex

1.5x multiplier is huge

[calm anvil]

DC?

[rapid sparrow]

I can't find Skip's Emma clear

[last stream]

"__D__amage __C__hallenge"

[warped gulch]

I still saw her somewhere

But not F Iris

[rapid sparrow]

Emma 3/5 worth my candy or notttt

[calm anvil]

Ah

Didn't click

[rapid sparrow]

Emma 3/5 Oleana and redlax

[calm anvil]

This is going to be a bad DC for me

[warped gulch]

How strong her nuke it ?

[rapid sparrow]

Idk that's why i am asking

[warped gulch]

I know most her dmg comes from B Move

[rapid sparrow]

My emma 2/5
I will candy if she nukes well

[warped gulch]

Which is bad in this mode ?

[rapid sparrow]

Yah

Sadge

[last stream]

not really when klara, oleana and roxie exist

[rapid sparrow]

Oleana 1/5

[last stream]

• geeta

[rapid sparrow]

Not worth double candying

Geeta also 1/5

So not worth candying for me

Emma i can accept because only 1 candy

And future investment

[last stream]

maybe for poison hse

[rapid sparrow]

If the next one was poison

Shre

But we don't know

[warped gulch]

[rapid sparrow]

Sadge

[last stream]

Oleana is just overall good in so many modes and UBs

[rapid sparrow]

I need my candies for emergency HSE pushes

And favs

[last stream]

(send tech candies )

[rapid sparrow]

We should be able to trade items

[warped gulch]

Oleana is HS: debuff Enemy to -6 Atk/SpAtk in 2 turn

[rapid sparrow]

But also good nuke + support buff on sync (cake)

Overall Oleana really good

But not worth my investment rn

[last stream]

i gave my to Yarrdenia 🙃

[rapid sparrow]

Yarrrr
I have no new ghost units

If i get Acerola from dailies

[warped gulch]

I have both

[rapid sparrow]

My hse spikes

[warped gulch]

from daily

[rapid sparrow]

Yeah daily is my only solution lol

[warped gulch]

Daily my beloved

Get me so many pairs that sometimes i dont know what they do

[last stream]

got 2 larry from daily

[left vine]

Between Emma and SS Roxie, who's more worth the 2 candies

For DC

[warped gulch]

SS Roxie

[icy pendant]

Roxie if you had to pick, Emma doesn’t really do all that much here

[compact scaffold]

I can see this image below the links: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/823566290563366942/1257294579871514685/Ranked_Damage_Rewards.png?ex=668fbfd3&is=668e6e53&hm=9736c6b3f8dffdb48e76226e526b6be338994e60a600535ee02c92c0fbbfc150&

[left vine]

Aite Roxxor it is

[ivory kestrel]

i got lucky today and clutch pulled Larry in the daily. Can he do a better job than SC Steven?

[warped gulch]

Idt he better than SC Steven

[normal parcel]

Can't manage to replicate my 998k Geeta clear, probably I got a play rough dodge or something

[copper otter]

The only thing Larry provides is speed buffs and omnirebuff

Granted, omnirebuff is huge, but he's not SC Steven versatile

[modest ledge]

Tbh I’m liking the crit and speed buffing he has too, I’m considering him as a third for the event Dragon stage as a third with Zerena and Lucas to speed up Zerena’s buffing and help w/ gauge

I don’t have SC Steven so I’m not sure one way or the other if he would accomplish the same lol

[slender venture]

SC Steven is just superior on physical teams

[rare apex]

physical teams just a little bit better on average for this mode methinks

colress hacks + sc steven gaming

[scenic grotto]

In terms of limited support
Redlax is (I think) the best
Followed by SC Steven
And then Larry

SEUP/Rebuff debuff is indeed strong

[true locust]

Sc steven is good too

[scenic grotto]

Yes, that’s why he’s on the list

[dry whale]

Changed my approach and pushed Koga a bit more

[true locust]

1,5m is nice

[storm zinc]

Is this my best team for Friday?

[true locust]

Rock 3 vs 3?

[drowsy pier]

Between Oleana and SS Roxie, who’s worth the candies?

[rain copper]

I don't recommend candying just for this mode

For general usage i would suggest 3/5 Roxie

[cunning rock]

Yeah, SS Roxie is great at 3/5, her highlight tile is being able to passively extend Poison Zone duration.

[prisma quail]

500k for single target
1 million for triple target

[rapid sparrow]

I need to find the emma run

Where is it

Help

Or I will end up with 250k score

[scenic grotto]

This what you looking for @rapid sparrow ?

[rare apex]

buh

[rapid sparrow]

Guhhhh it uses Steven detective

[rare apex]

managed to hit 931k with ss roxie 😵

[rapid sparrow]

I don't got that

Sadge

I can try with different alternatives

[last stream]

what does emma+red get?

[scenic grotto]

Well I don’t see any other videos featuring Emma unfortunately
You will have to make do with F2P clear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiaeqqwL0j4

[dry whale]

I think this could be it, I'll try a bit more a little later but Koga pushing 740k was probably not expected.

[wooden tree]

Have video?

Or what’s the Strat with Roxie and Redlax

And Roxie grid

I suck at this

[copper otter]

Oof i went off on one of the reddit posts lmao

[proud minnow]

Tbf I’ve seen quite a bit of DC slander on Reddit

Can’t blame you

[crude sandal]

DC is just HSE 2.0

[rare apex]

YEAAAAAAH

[icy scroll]

HSE is worse

[copper otter]

I'm genuinely having fun with DC because guess what, the opponent moves are scripted

[rare apex]

don't you like resetting in HSE until your opponents miss?

[prisma quail]

No way.

HSE actually let's you use the games mechanics.
Damage challenge makes you want to skip any of the main mechanics of the game just to use sync moves. It sucks.

[compact scaffold]

There’s a pinned doc with clears

[safe prawn]

I might say, dc is gonna be way worst

[icy scroll]

I am talking on behalf of early gamers

[safe prawn]

Bc dc is just

-> do you have THAT ONE SPECIFIC UNIT 5/5 6exR and +10? No? Oh sorry you are out

Hse at least makes you work with 1/2 types of pair

[icy scroll]

They can't Ex all of there single type units for HSE

[compact scaffold]

It depends on what you enjoy. I quite enjoy DC for the optimisation aspects, I hate HSE and LG because I don’t enjoy planning for the stages

[safe prawn]

I’m already getting bored of dc bc is just -> spam Twave to skip

[last stream]

I mean you have to plan for this mode, there’s just a lot less choices to make

[compact scaffold]

I mean planning for each stage taking into account that you can only use each pair in one stage

[last stream]

We’ll have that in the ranked DC

[compact scaffold]

I prefer having one stage and trying out different comps

[compact scaffold]

Oh, didn’t know ranked will work like that, thought they were separate like the ones we’ve had until now. That’s annoying.

[true locust]

Yes ranked cant wait for it 🙂

12 day😏

[compact scaffold]

Tbf at least pokemas does ranking correctly since all you get is titles, other gacha games make you tryhard for basic materials

[proud minnow]

I’m waiting for any of the fun types again

[true locust]

I want title only:)

[sullen zephyr]

This mode is really making me ex my tech units. The sync boost never seemed that useful to me because it's still ST.

But now we have a mode where it's just big numbers go boom

[compact scaffold]

Especially techs with strike cake since they’re useful for both ST and 3v3

[last stream]

Strange, I’ve always found having strong mid sync to be better for most content. Though from most gameplay showcases people love their on-type strikers.

[compact scaffold]

AoE unga bunga is more fun in 3v3 content

[sullen zephyr]

The content i focused the most on was CSMM, where if you nuke mid while not taking out the sides fast enough then you'd get wiped

[compact scaffold]

It depends on the pair, some techs can easily 1shot sides after syncing with their regular move

[sullen zephyr]

Yeah but like, koga, why would i ex koga

[compact scaffold]

K ga

[civic island]

Using one extra stun spore won't change the pattern too much and it's relatively fast
So you should be good without it

[sullen zephyr]

I ex koga for DC. That's a valid reason now.

I also tried lodge marnie earlier but forgot that she wasn't exed

[crude sandal]

I see

[sullen zephyr]

Don't feel like exing marnie to try again. Koga seems faster to sync anyway

[compact scaffold]

Lodge marnie is quite weak too, I did try her and it was painful

[prisma quail]

I love my monotype on-type teams

[sullen zephyr]

I think marnie has higher spatk and more sync multipliers

But setting up for innate takes too much time

Yoooo master 6k with 386k points

[brisk shale]

You can play lg without planning too

Just copy other people's teams until you run out of teams to copy

You probably won't get leaderboard doing just this, but it's a start

[sturdy pebble]

I just use 10 auto teams for LG

[compact scaffold]

Oh yeah I just do 10 stages and dip because I cba
But to play it “properly” I’d have to plan my teams

Next LG I will auto farm for cookies tho

[brisk shale]

Same

[brisk shale]

Btw barely anyone actually plays lg "properly"

It's hard to have enough time to be as optimal as possible

Last 4 LGs we had a 100+ wins difference between top 100 and top 1

[strange notch]

What happened to those rewards?

[plush palm]

[strange notch]

Because now we only get tickets and no coins

[plush palm]

this isnt ranked

[last stream]

That is for the ranked event

[plush palm]

ranked seems to bw once a month

[strange notch]

What makes ranked different

Because all of the DCs have rankings

[last stream]

3 stages where you need 9 unique pairs.

[normal parcel]

Ranked has real ranks

[strange notch]

Oh

[last stream]

And the stages have rules.

[normal parcel]

Here is only personal rank

[strange notch]

What weakness does the ranked stage have this month

[last stream]

Well we’re still ranked, we’re just not given titles

[normal parcel]

You get the medal in the log, but you can't showcase it

[last stream]

It’s pinned

[normal parcel]

Poison single, dragon AOE (no nuke), fighting single (no DPS)

[last stream]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/823566290563366942/1257294578650976368/Ranked_Damage.png?ex=668fbfd2&is=668e6e52&hm=8895c34a643ab118daec5fa7d526054d694b7038d78cd684d086117af78d3fcd&

[normal parcel]

So for AOE is wiser to debuff sides if you plan to debuff speed

[strange notch]

So a repeat of Marnie and Hop, and Dragon weak wally who we haven’t seen yet

Looks like Nate is required for Wally

Probably Lucas as well

[rare apex]

and even nate

do we pick which stage to fight or does it rotate?

[strange notch]

Maybe zerena bc AOE but idk, her sync is rly important

[prisma quail]

God damn.
Now that we've experienced single target poison, I see why this ranked is a threat.

[plush palm]

honestly im better off trying to hit 1m vs hop and calling it a day

[strange notch]

Single target DC in general is 🤡

[plush palm]

i can already do it vs hop

[strange notch]

I got 1 mil on Marnie but barely

[prisma quail]

Who is the number 3 twave user we're all using?

[strange notch]

You have to do all 3 right?

[rare apex]

oh. if it's all 3 for a total of 1m that shouldn't be too bad

[plush palm]

poppy if we have her

[strange notch]

Is NCRosa Sing spam fast enough to be used like this too?

[rare apex]

requires timing i think

[strange notch]

You get 2 gauge back on Sing use

[prisma quail]

against Dubwool, maybe.
Since you can set rebuff then do a status spam

[last stream]

Move animation cancel will occur with status moves like sing and teeter dance if the target can’t be inflicted for some reason.

[eager zealot]

Someone made the vid above.

[robust meteor]

That's an awesome score! Congrats! What is your approach? Do you have a video?

And how important is 3/5 for chase?

[prisma quail]

Poison sucked. I'm ready for AOE rock.

I'm hoping Paulo/Ttar combos are best. Maybe even some Dianthie for zone. not just more twave spam.

[ivory kestrel]

for this poison ST DC, there is no difference if one used BP Barry or Colress, right?

[latent plover]

Barry has support EX

[ivory kestrel]

damnit, i keep forgetting about it lol

i'm at 780k, with only 3/5 Geeta - SC Steven - BP Barry. Haven't tried to swap Oleana (1/5) with either SC Steven or Barry, but i assume score will be worse

[prisma quail]

Unless you are rocking RedLax, in which case I think you use his sync once and then Garbodor for the rest.

So in that situation, BarryRade and Klinklang are the same

[lusty galleon]

I saw some people reaching 1M with that comp

https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonMasters/s/PFRR8v6KYI

this one uses EX R Geeta tho

that means, 40 more atk

[ivory kestrel]

thanks, i will check it out

by the way, are people clamoring for Courtney for Ground single target? She only has 1 sync multiplier in her grid, plus the fact it's mega, so the sync bp is lower

[rare apex]

she has inate towering force too + ground zone

i'd use fall roxanne myself but 1/5 no exr

[normal parcel]

Against dragon the twave spammer is useless, since is sync damage reduction rule

[rare apex]

if you're using nate you'd still want to sync anyway for b-move

[dry whale]

Very important. In this specific build it's needed for extension, adrenaline and team grand entry 2.

Koga is the tank since he will have +6 evasion eventually. Poison fang, reset if you don't get it, After setting up your basically spamming Venomshock to deal damage while also decreasing sp def. Using red to grant super effective up on Koga before you nuke.

It's not a cheap build and also needs a bit of RNG luck. The score stands at 740k and that run went almost perfect.

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=000000014300&s0=1&l0=140&r0=6&p0=0&a0=15010101&t0=44444&x0=true&g0=AAECAwQFBgcICQoMERITFBobHB0eICUmJyg&v1=005400016900&s1=5&l1=150&r1=6&p1=0&a1=13016403&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFFRYXGBkjJSksLi8&v2=027900002500&s2=3&l2=150&r2=6&p2=0&a2=15010101&t2=4444&x2=true&g2=AAECAwQFDA4RExYgIiUoMjQ

[robust meteor]

wow, thank you! I'll take a look and see what I can do

does chase need to be 3/5?

[dry whale]

Yes

[ivory kestrel]

holy mother of rng... now that's some luck there! first 2 tackles need def crush to proc, then how many mpr refreshes for Geeta

[normal parcel]

Whoa that's RNG hell I once managed to get 998k but I'm not sure how because I can't really recreate that

I don't remember getting more than 1 MPR

Sad thing is that I realized I had slightly better skill gears after the run and with those I would have definitely got 1m

However don't know why but if I queue b mortal spin after support ex seems that I lose more time than before support ex

Even entry poison zone duration is inconsistent, sometimes seems that I can keept that just after support ex sometimes seems I cannot

[covert geyser]

mpr on geeta?

[normal parcel]

Even if I queue the same moves and the time left is the same it matters the order

[robust meteor]

do you remember how many syncs you got in? I presume sync with Redlax, then Chase, then spam Koga sync?

[normal parcel]

I remember 1 MPR but maybe they where 2

I guess second MPR would have saved time because is the equivalent of both Steven TMs in 1 action

Sadly when I try to recreate I get always few seconds short

MPR 2 is hell to proc

Expecially for 1mp moves

[prisma quail]

Oh, true!
Yay! A real fight then!

AOE, sync damage doesn't matter, definitely a Zygarde moment.
Plus another support

[ivory kestrel]

i wouldnt say useless, as you can still sync rush to get higher damage on your dps moves

maybe sync rush the 1st minute of the battle, then dps all the way out

[modest ledge]

Yeah hopefully we get more where you do normal DPS stuff than just hit thunder wave and nuke

[blissful wyvern]

This was literally hell

This channel deserves a medal for all the strats that have been posted

The last Reddit post linked here was a life saver, I guess the difference was that +5 attack tile

[teal harness]

I tried nc rosa, ss roxie and barry, best I got was a lil over 500mil

[frail fulcrum]

So SS Roxie sync strats

Literally rely on paralysis rng huh

Grimmsnarls attacks take too much time

[crude flume]

Can you check your rank for me? I wanna see where the 1 mil mark stands rankwise

[plush palm]

not suprised

poison single target nukers kinda suck

[hollow whale]

Dangit the stars aligned but I still can’t reach 1 mil

Not gonna give Geeta SP3 so I guess this is it for me this DC

[copper otter]

Are you using B leer?

[hollow whale]

Yeah

[copper otter]

All at once?

[hollow whale]

Oh was I not supposed to?

[copper otter]

You are supposed to

[hollow whale]

Then yeah

[copper otter]

Hmm

[hollow whale]

Tackle, MS, B Leer, SS, Geeta TM on herself, B Leer, SS, B Leer, BParry sync

Then SS spam, Geeta sync, Geeta TM use, repeat until only a B Move can be used

And yeah I used her TM before the B Move

[copper otter]

No Sc steven tms?

[hollow whale]

Nah

Because Geeta’s TM keeps refreshing

That’s what I meant by stars aligned haha

[frail fulcrum]

This is the best im gonna get with ss roxie and redlax i think

I dont have much in the way for dragon either so i might fall behind in score which is sad

Not that it matters but i wanted it as a point of pride to have 3 mil every 3 rounds so i can get the units

[hollow whale]

3/5 SS Roxie?

[thin wren]

pins are being wonky for me, when's dragon aoe

[hollow whale]

July 26 on a Friday

Hmm next is triple Rock

I have SCHilda and I have no idea if she’s great for this haha

Though single Ground is the one I’m worried most this month

[copper otter]

Question. Is using CS 2 worth it more on units with max moves? I'm trying to figure out if that extra 20% on the max move is even worth it when you can do 30% per Sync move.

[icy pendant]

I think it’s base power-dependent but somewhere around 3-4 syncs I think SP3 pays off

[thin wren]

oh begins after ranked dc

[copper otter]

Dragon Dps is gonna be rough

Zerena could work, but gauges will be hell

Bt leon

Dragon darts could go hard....

[icy pendant]

oh yeah Zerena has to DPS good thing she has two MGR tiles at higher levels

[copper otter]

Does she get a power booat when she syncs?

I forgor

[brisk shale]

+20% all stats

[copper otter]

Like i know she gets new oassives from restrained

[brisk shale]

and a 50% mult

[copper otter]

For dps?

Or sync?

[brisk shale]

both

[copper otter]

Huh.....

[brisk shale]

and she has super syncer on grid

[hollow whale]

So Zerena is better off attacking than syncing?

[vernal condor]

on the dps only stage you sync with her once for the morph and supp ex and that's it

[hollow whale]

The what now

[latent plover]

Zerena and NC Nate probably can be used together for Dragon aoe

In the ranked one

Nate has a pretty strong aoe move

[hollow whale]

Oh my god I didn’t notice they had rules for the event LMAO

[plush palm]

honestly im probably better off running ex ss cynthia than 1/5 exr ss serena

[latent plover]

They have Dragon aoe without rules before that

But for the ranked it's dps only

[hollow whale]

3/5 Zerena is better than 3/5 SSynthia right? Both for DPS only and unrestricted

[latent plover]

By miles

[crude flume]

Should be yeah

[hollow whale]

Sweet

[latent plover]

Zerena just outclasses her in every way, A better question would be if she's better than NC Nate here

Cause sure he has dragon zone boosted b-move but then he suffers from scale shot

[crude flume]

Dragon weak truly isn’t ready for my secret weapon

Draco Meter Anni Steven

[hollow whale]

The horror

[plush palm]

no way am i candying zerena

So ss cynthia it is

my dragon options

[crude flume]

Ok but deadass except for like Serena, Nate, and maybe BTLeon… what are the non sync options

[plush palm]

unless i should give nuker lance a shot

[crude flume]

There isn’t much

[crude flume]

DPS stage womp womp

[green oar]

Drasna for not using any meter

[crude flume]

I do have 3/5 Drasna now actually so not a horrible idea

But I think I would rather use like Zerena / Nate / SCSteven

It kinda just covers most things

Wait can we reuse units in stages in ranked?

Or is it once you use a unit it’s only for that stage

[green oar]

Well drasna works best when the opponent is poisoned right?

[crude flume]

Legit never used her so couldn’t tell ya

I only just got her 3/5

[green oar]

And the poison doesn't help much since they won't take damage

[crude flume]

They take poison damage still

It’s just not like loads of damage, but it can make a difference between like 20,000

[green oar]

I would recommend reading her kit then

[hollow whale]

Oh shoot fighting is no DPS

[crude flume]

Oh wait you mean the actual type

[crude flume]

Hop nuke sweep

[hollow whale]

Me relying on Keldiantha nuke again

Also doing ST Poison again LMAO

[crude flume]

Oh yeah drasna is kinda ew for this actually i’m ngl

Since she doesn’t have any AoE ways to poison

So that’s at least 3 turns for her to reach max potential of power

[plush palm]

not sure why youre trying to poison everything?

probably better to just poison the middle

its not like she has any AOE

[dry whale]

Pushed it further. It should have been a 777k run but she got a Play Rought right at the end and got the attack debuff eating the last few seconds.

I do think it is possible for Koga to hit the High 900k or even the million but that means him getting a third sync off and in order for that to happen you need near perfect or perfect dodge luck and probably 3/5 Snorlax for that adrenaline.

[modest ledge]

And you said you just set him up and went venoshock afterward?

[thin wren]

wow, I could only get 640k . What ls did your units have?

[dry whale]

I'm basically using Venomshock right after the first Poison because I have the Venomshock minds games 9 to debuff so def. Chase will buff the evasion and sp atk , red will supply the super effect up for the nuke.

Super Power and Head start are the lucky skills

Chase sync, Red syncs, Koga sync x2.

[sacred badger]

is chase 3/5R?

[civic island]

The fact that the first Electric stage is happening on 9 sep is

Right for fifth anni, so it's either rerunning Ash or releasing a new electric unit?

[spiral halo]

It's Miraidon trust

[civic island]

~~ free legendary unit, right? ~~

[prisma quail]

When is the ranked trio battles?

[rain copper]

[last stream]

July 22nd

or 12 resets

[modest ledge]

Might not cap as high as sync spam but this is a lot more satisfying lol

Only took like 2 attempts to get this

No MP Refreshes either

[shadow zealot]

Hey, is there a google sheet of teams/runs?

[brisk shale]

[queen moth]

I only have 5/5 Looker and 1/5 Geeta; do I have any hope for this damage challenge

[queen moth]

I actually can't find them on mobile sorry

[last stream]

there aren't any looker clears posted

he won't score high against a single target

If you have Red (Snorlax) and Barry (Roserade), you can at least pump up his damage to his max potential.

[brisk shale]

Wth is this battle

[last stream]

I just did this too after a couple of tries. Managed to get an extra B move out for 1.12 mil

[modest ledge]

I got a bit over a mil on a repeat run too

imo double sprint is a lot more enjoyable than stun spore spam was, but I don’t have EX Barry either

[left vine]

Double sprint?

[modest ledge]

I used SS Roxie with Redlax and Chase

Sorta like what that person was doing with Koga

[left vine]

Ah Chase

[modest ledge]

Redlax boosts circle too so you’re pretty easily hitting 100k with sludge wave toward the end

[last stream]

I gave my RedLax adrenaline 1 on top of the other one

[modest ledge]

Mine has head start, it made more sense w/ whatever it was I was doing at the time

First sync cycle is a little clunky either way lol

[devout pelican]

Man, this DC is really mopping the floor with us

I suppose it's gonna be a common occurence for ST stages

[civic island]

I'm no whale so I'm gonna exploit that Barry/Colress + Red forever

Hope august update to bring Gloria a glorious glorifying tech cake
Or i'm.literally doomed with steel

[rain copper]

Colress nuke

[modest ledge]

I’m not a whale either I just decided to invest most of my candy over the last few months into sprint supports because I like ramping lol

[golden tiger]

What do you spam on chase?

Thunder shock?

[civic island]

Dragon teiple stage, imagine having Ryuki

[sullen zephyr]

i just realized you can use marnie to destroy marnie

[zinc hedge]

how do i get a good score? i think my best poison unit is crobat with emma

1/5 tho

[rain copper]

can you show us your entire Poison roster?

[zinc hedge]

sure

i have both bp barry colress and redlax if needed

[crude sandal]

Lodge Marnie is definitely your best poison nuker

[dire spade]

No EX R on Oleana. Still improvable by getting Geeta's TM MPR

[zinc hedge]

oh i see

never expected her to be good

[crude sandal]

I tried Emma, she's hella trash even at 3/5

[zinc hedge]

i...see

lmao

[crude sandal]

My SS Roxie is miles better

[modest ledge]

I don’t spam anything on Chase actually, trainer moves when they’re available. I recorded a run I’ll edit it down and post it

Brought it up to 1.12m

[golden tiger]

Yeah that'll help massively, I have chase 3/5 so I'd like to learn more about the strategy with him

[modest ledge]

I don’t have EXR or anything on Roxie but I do have it on Redlax and Chase

[crude sandal]

I think Roxie's EXR only makes a difference on 3v3

[modest ledge]

It’s gonna sorta just depend on what you’re doing with him how you wanna use him, I highly doubt I’m using him optimally

Idk a big chunk of special attack will matter more than you think

lol

Not as much as other multipliers for sure

[civic island]

This round is just a nice offensive boost. On vs3 will be massive
That's why I'm interested mostly on Tec+strike

[crude sandal]

I'm still curious about ST ice and fire comp whether Chase's sprint EXR + Kanto Analysis or Colress fast spamming will help with the damage

[modest ledge]

This is NOT something I think is optimal, it’s just a different approach I took inspired by @dry whale:
https://youtu.be/8QlssP413gM?si=wNqtvlBld-k2rRiy

[dire spade]

Done! I'm really happy with that result. 1 sync with BP Barry, 1 sync with Geeta, 3 Geeta's TM for 3 Oleana sync nukes, and ending with PMUN+9 Gunk Shot and a Geeta's buddy move

[sullen zephyr]

Is syncing with geeta for zone better than using her b move?

[sour lark]

Her B move takes well over ten seconds

Plus the enemy will probably get enough gauges to queue a move at some point during those ten seconds, so it costs even more

I've seen her sync zone used instead for this

[dire spade]

Yeah, her B move takes ages!

[normal parcel]

If you don't use Geeta b move (except at the end) you save a lot of time, but I doubt you can reach 1m without that extra damage and the extra defense drop

The 1m video posted didn't used it but it was super RNG hell, it relied on 2 dc2 and mpr2 procs 0.81% chance.of happening

I managed to get 998k (would have gotten 1m if I would have checked my champion skill gears instead of using my poison ones that where slightly weaker) but I don't really know how I did it

I tried to replicate but I'm always few seconds short, o remember I used b mortal spin before 1st sync

I tried using it after support ex but for some reason I end up with less time

Probably because early on Marnie has fuller gauge and b mortal spin doesn't charges it much compared to later on that she has empty gauge

[acoustic heath]

Best I can do

[cunning rock]

You don't have BP Barry yet? He's better for SS Roxie since Support sync and Colress Screech doesn't really do anything for Roxie

[acoustic heath]

I just use Twave and Roxie lowers special defense by 2 with her attack

Is Berry slightly better?

[cunning rock]

BP Barry has Stun Spore that never misses.

But he needs to be at 3/5 to do the same thing that Colress does

[acoustic heath]

Does Twave misses?

[cunning rock]

It doesn't but Stun Spore doesn't have 100% accuracy but Barry needs 3/5 so he can passively increase his accuracy so Stun Spore has 100% accuracy

[acoustic heath]

BP Berry is bronze unit. Shouldn’t be too hard. I don’t need to raise its rank

[cunning rock]

Just his move level to 3/5

[acoustic heath]

I’ll give it a try to see the difference

[normal parcel]

Finally is over

I think a play rough miss is necessary

Exr I guess is also needed for the extra stats

I already know bug st will have a bad medal if I don't invest on SS Hilbert

[cunning rock]

I think our only options for ST Bug 1M is SC Ingo, SS Hilbert, and maybe SC Barry?

[normal parcel]

Unless they give og viola a Kris like grid expansion

[normal parcel]

I guess, of those I have only Hilbert but is 1/5

[cunning rock]

I have both Ingo and Hilbert but both are at 1/5.

[normal parcel]

Having the unit won't do much in this mode if they aren't invested

[cunning rock]

Honestly, Hilbert might be the better one at 1/5 cuz Bug Rebuff.

[normal parcel]

Sadly unlike with fighting/poison I don't even have an op master Fair striker that could still squeeze 1m

[normal parcel]

I guess 1/5 6ex Hilbert should perform better than guzma st

[cunning rock]

I might try mixing Hilbert with SC Emmet with BP Barry and see how that goes.

[normal parcel]

Getting 1m with Geeta is quite hard but doable

Not even sure if 1/5 Hilbert 6ex outnukes 5/5 guzma ex

I guess the rebuff and the tm will make him have an edge

I don't mind Exing him, but i don't want to candy or Rolex him

[clever wasp]

Anyone have any of the SS Roxie clears for this in video/grids and stuff

[jovial mantle]

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I need legendary gauntlet to come back already, I need more cookies

DC be eating my cookies

[cloud timber]

pretty likely going to be the start of august based on previous dates

definitely don't expect to be putting sp3 on all of your damage dealers though

takes more farming than anyone does (bar eurisko, auto farming entire gauntlets every time and amassing over 1k 3* deluxes and 0 chance of running out of everything else) to afford that

with realistic luck

[clever wasp]

New name for this mode. Resource spending simulator

[cloud timber]

better yet just call it pokemon masters ex

or even "a gacha game"

xd

with average luck i actually could afford sp3 on one damage dealer for each type but i like to be super safe and conserve the ability to test out whatever i want

because if you get just a bit too unlucky it can be one of the worst feelings

[normal parcel]

Sp3 is only needed for 1 or 2 units per type not for every damage dealer

[cloud timber]

it would be too much to get it on 2 for every type though

and if that's bad for me it's maybe 10x worse for most other people

[normal parcel]

Lots of units can easily score 1m with cs2

[cloud timber]

uncommon to put in the time and effort investments that i put into farming gauntlet

but yea leaving cs2 on most stuff is heavily recommended

[true locust]

Its why next lg alot player will be play and try get 50-100 wins and farm or just farm stuff

[normal parcel]

You need it more for units that really need that extra boost to score 1m (like Geeta in st)

[true locust]

So after next lg alot have sp3 and he1

[devout pelican]

Honestly CS2 or SP3 is only beneficial for max move and maybe buddy move?

[true locust]

For all

Sync too

[devout pelican]

Most newer dps have lots of multipliers that the 20%/30% won't be as huge

[normal parcel]

Sp3 doesn't affect max moves however

[true locust]

Cs 2 is like more use since off type work too

Max moves are not important

Sp3 only work on type

[cloud timber]

works great for 1m completionism but if you're only after rewards it would matter far less

and both are understandable

[clever wasp]

Anyone got stuff for 3/5 Roxie to get 1M?

[normal parcel]

Side note of sp3 is that you still get the boost even if you miss the crit

[cloud timber]

yea that's the most important thing about it imo

missing sync crits are super common

[normal parcel]

3/5 Roxie should be one of the easier units to score 1m but I think it involves exr redlax

[clever wasp]

Meep

[rain copper]

there is a clear in the pins

[clever wasp]

Thanks

[normal parcel]

Roxie and oleana I think are the intended units to get 1m

Geeta is hard mode

Koga is the budget option but it won't score 1m

[cloud timber]

and lodge marnie is theoretically better but koga has gotten 500k f2p and i only got 550k with lodge marnie + geeta

so many more sync buffs and higher spa and much better self reliance and seup providing

[normal parcel]

Lodge Marnie problem is that you have to mudslap 6 times

[cloud timber]

yep

[devout pelican]

The pain when you need acc debuff for her sync, yes

[faint quiver]

So, what's the plan for Rock 3v3 tmr?

[cloud timber]

olivia paulo bp barry for me

[normal parcel]

Only good thing about Marnie is that is pore likely to miss play rough at -6 accuracy

[clever wasp]

SS Diantha although idk how it'll go

[faint quiver]

SS Diantha, NC Silver and Colress? 🤔

[cunning rock]

Olivia seems to be the go to F2P option for Rock 3v3.

[cunning rock]

The problem is that her main DPS move is a B-move so you lose extra seconds spamming it

And it's very dependent on having Rock Zone up

[cloud timber]

i would like to think the mud slaps reducing enemy animations would help but koga does that more efficiently

[faint quiver]

Diantha is just there for Rock Zone tbh

[normal parcel]

Not as good as guzma but Olivia isn't that bad

[cloud timber]

guzma grid expansion did a lot

[cunning rock]

You need to boost her speed because she has Inertia, she also has Sand tiles but I don't it's worth running unless you have NC Silver

[clever wasp]

Could Diantha have a decent enough nuke?

[cunning rock]

At that point, just use NC Silver

[normal parcel]

Diantha is st

[cunning rock]

I feel like she'd be better for 1v3 than 3v3

[clever wasp]

Cuz outside her best I can offer for damage is 3/5 silver

[normal parcel]

For st diantha is probably one of the best, for AOE, even Olivia should nuke harder

[faint quiver]

Diantha SP3 nuke for 1v3
Diantha HS1 support for 3v3

[normal parcel]

NC silver should be the best option I think

[clever wasp]

I hope

[cunning rock]

Just don't use SS Diantha's B-move for defense drops unless you're running a support and Barry with her. Otherwise, just use Colress, he does the defense dropping faster

[normal parcel]

Problem with corless is that it lacks support ex

[clever wasp]

And he feels like a support tbh

[normal parcel]

If you are running corless with red then he can do the support ex sync

[clever wasp]

Mhm

Kinda glad red came to me for free

Wonder what our next free ticket will be for anni

[normal parcel]

For steel I wonder who has the strongest aoe nuke, maybe 4/5 Gloria sice she could actually make use of her innate

I mean 5/5 would nuke even harder with rebuff and defense down

Too bad Gloria needs at least 4/5 to nuke and 5/5 adds a lot

[cunning rock]

Probably Rose, Poppy, and SC Selene would be the top contenders for AoE Steel

Poppy is gonna go wild because she can fulfill Barry or Colress' role

[normal parcel]

I think Gloria hits try strongest at 5/5 cuz she has an innate

Yes probably poppy will outperform because she can get an extra supporter

[clever wasp]

Poppy b move with super effective up next and some physical moves next should be insane

[cunning rock]

And the unlock condition is easy = spam Thunder Wave in between her B move

[clever wasp]

Mhm

Wondering how she'll handle 1/5

[normal parcel]

Colress himself would be pretty good in ST steel weak

[cunning rock]

Yeah, he can grab all of his nuking tiles without losing his T wave spam

[faint quiver]

Kimono Grimsley nukes harder by a lot tho. At least both of them synergizes with each other.

[normal parcel]

How? Doesn't grimsley only have haymaker?

Corless has towering force + static shock 9

I guess grimsley could do some metal burst shenanigans, if you can time it right

But corless should nuke harder

[unborn vault]

Bisharp has a LOT more atk

[faint quiver]

Despite Colress has 1 more sync multipler, Klinklang has only 394 Atk at 150 while Bisharp has 522.

[unborn vault]

In the end, the difference is not huge I belive, but I think that Colress also can't grab ALL the multipliers/sync move bp AND the broken node for no gauge use

[faint quiver]

Also, you can't take the sync nodes if you want to TW spam like lori said.

[unborn vault]

But fr bisharp is our choice for single target?

Well I guess it's the most accessible

[faint quiver]

Plus, you need max defense for Towering Force thus needing someone else to max his Def out as his TM only provides +4.

[unborn vault]

That one is easy tbh

Redlax

Because you can just gmax and get that +2def

But still, I belive that we can use Colress AND Grimsley right

[faint quiver]

I'm thinking Redlax/KGrimsley/Colress for cheap teams while PalMarnie for even higher nukes.

[unborn vault]

Yea makes sense

I personally have Jirachi and Magnezone

[faint quiver]

The Metal Burst could also do a last burst of dmg at the end if we can't reach sync again.

[unborn vault]

I wonder if Jirachi could dish out some nice damage especially since you can charm/twave for no animation and only get the doom desire which is still kinda fast

[slender venture]

Jirachi has the highest possible sync nuke

Pal Marnie if you take out zone

[faint quiver]

It depends on what you have tbh, both Pal Marnie and Summer Tate are probably the top nukes.

Not sure DD is worth it or not even if its animation is fast, 1 second is still time wasted versus time saved for another sync.

[slender venture]

Yea for STate just sync spam

[faint quiver]

Also Pal Marnie auto debuffs defense, so you don't have click as many screeches thus faster time.

[slender venture]

Well STate also auto debuffs Spdef

Both have their positives, but Marnie brings her own zone so that will probably edge her out

[faint quiver]

She is an older unit so probably more people have her at 3/5 compared to Tate.

[normal parcel]

With a bit of energy expansion it should be able to get all the stuffs

Main issue with colress is that it lacks self buffs

If you have SC selene she can fully buff colress with 1mpr while providing steel zone

Without SC selene I guess you either have to run something that can buff colress or just use kimono grimsley

[normal parcel]

Depends, if it costs you a sync definitely not, if you can still get some and still have time for all the syncs, then is extra damage

[golden tiger]

I'm on 794k rn, am I only missing 1 ticket before the 1 mill mark?

[normal parcel]

21 tickets

Is 1 ticket for each 10k points until 1m then it becomes every 50k

[sacred badger]

basically

you can compute your tickets in total with the highlighted cell

[copper otter]

Tomorrow, gonna go Paulo/ ncsilver/ssdiantha and see how that fares. That should give me turn 1 sync for Paulo then turn 2 sync for Silver.

Stone edge shod be p fast so...

[half salmon]

Hi everyone, I have these poison units, BP Barry, Colress, SC Steven and Redlax 1/5. I could possibly Candy a 1/5 unit to 3/5, but maybe it's not worth. Geeta grid for max Sync damage.

With this team, syncing Always with Geeta, Grimmsarl poisoned & spamming VenomDrench & StunSpore, I deal max 300k.

I have dealt almost 500k with Colress fast def reduction replacing Oleana. I'm doing something wrong, or I could set a better team?

[copper otter]

Swap bp barry out for colress, screech helps better

[normal parcel]

If you have SC Steven or redlax I guess they are better

[copper otter]

Do not spam twave until you do max move.

Geeta should not attack at all

Wait. You don't even have 2/5 oleana

[thin wren]

Would 3/5 Emmet nuke or 5/5 olivia nuke be stronger

both without sand

[copper otter]

5/5 olivia nuke

Olivia needs sand

[thin wren]

can she set it up herself?

[copper otter]

No

Emmet can

Not olivia

[thin wren]

was planning to go with ss diantha, emmet/olivia and colress

[copper otter]

Honestly, i think Stone Edge might be good for this if going Olivia, she needs speed buffs and Stone edge/rock throw is p fast from what i remember

[half salmon]

Thank you, so I should Candy Oleana 2/5 and spam Sync moves with her? Using Geeta only for zone

[copper otter]

Not worth candying to 2/5. Especially when there's not much to gain from this rotation.

There is a 700k run of Geeta being used but she needs MPR for it to work

The goal is to have Geeta only sync with SEUP and of course colress screech into twave spam. You will need to mortal spin once unless you can have someone else poison (Oleana)

[sacred flower]

is there a pin for damage challenge rotation?

what is the next type?

Wait doesn’t she need Sand

[spark cape]

do we have ground tech?

[rain copper]

Oops i forgot about her Sand Blaster

[hollow whale]

We have Clay

[rain copper]

But SEUN makes up for it + Hilda has less sync BP

[hollow whale]

Oh also uh

[spark cape]

im looking at ground single

[rain copper]

[hollow whale]

Whashername

Yeah her

[spark cape]

only way is courtney

we dont have limited ground tech?

[hollow whale]

Oh wait a sec

What’s Fall Roxanne

[rain copper]

There is Fall Roxanne

[prisma quail]

Camerupt and Runerigus

[spark cape]

hmmm

[hollow whale]

I need to check their multipliers

Traps expire right

[normal parcel]

Yes trap expires and even restrain

[hollow whale]

Hmm problematic for both then

[normal parcel]

But is tied to actions not time

[spark cape]

yea so olivia corless and diantha ig?

[normal parcel]

Bertha is also a decent tech nuker, but lacks self buffs

[hollow whale]

I’m wary about bringing weather into this haha

[normal parcel]

Colress has sand shelter on grid so you can spam twave in sand without problems

Bertha should be viable if you have rika

Otherwise Courtney should be better

[prisma quail]

Poison time was bad enough

This game mode is so dumb that half the mechanics of the game are bad here

[neat raft]

it is

it turns some of the best things some unit has into a major weakness in this mode

[modest ledge]

Sorta what makes it interesting though too

[hollow whale]

Mmhmm

[sullen zephyr]

the great equalizer

[ivory kestrel]

finally an event where SST Red is at a disadvantage

but still expecting him to clear 1M in ST Electric

[sullen zephyr]

stall strats? trash
b move? time wasting garbage

it's sync or be synced

[sour lark]

Can Ash nuke hard enough to still be worthwhile

[sullen zephyr]

lol they put the electric stages so far back

[thin wren]

in electric aoe? probably not over ss hau

[sullen zephyr]

ash's aoe sync is still pretty good

[ivory kestrel]

in this game mode, for ST, you'd need a EX'd Tech Nuker with at least 2 sync multis in grid to "safely" get 1M... for MT, either a Tech-Strike nuker, or an Extend Range DPS'er (much easier to get 1M in MT)

[sullen zephyr]

tho there's also sshilbert

hot damn sshilbert is a great contender for 5 types

[sour lark]

Hm? Does that type-change passive work on his sync?

[sullen zephyr]

oh shoot it doesn't

[sour lark]

Oh okay

[ivory kestrel]

i dont think SS Hilbert is as good in the other types, his sync is unusable

[sullen zephyr]

he can still apply neg rebuff tho

[sour lark]

And Metal Sound to ruin SpDef, which is also quite handy

[ivory kestrel]

Techno Blast is hella slow though

if that's what will make up most of your damage

[sour lark]

Then the plan is to just use it once per enemy for rebuff, and let someone else do the real work

[acoustic chasm]

Gym Gloria on the other hand

[ivory kestrel]

kinda bummed they didnt do Protean with the frogs here

[acoustic chasm]

They kinda did, but only with the types they already have lol

We could have lived in a world where NC Serena had the strongest Normal-type nuke after changing types with B Quick Attack

[sour lark]

And then used her in the Normal Damage Challenge, which only takes supereffective damage from Normal attacks!

wait

[hollow whale]

Oh I thought the frogs’s syncs changed with their typings

[thin wren]

they do

[ivory kestrel]

i hope my 1/5 Paulo (EX'd but not caked) is enough to support 3/5 NC Silver. The Support EXR for Paulo is tempting but damn this mode, i have used up my BR tickets

so for a Paulo-Silver-Colress comp, plan is to rush sync with Paulo first, then Silver syncs the rest while clicking only B Rock SLide if its available. correct?

[sour lark]

They do. The joke here is that Normal cannot deal supereffective damage to anything. Nothing's weak against Normal. It's why there is never a Normal CSMM stage and no Normal Damage Challenge stage

[devout pelican]

I guess Colress + Red + Oleana works for 1m

[neat burrow]

Finally

No ex R on oleana

[devout pelican]

Eh, fair enough

[clever wasp]

Someone said SS Roxie clears were in pinned messages. I don't see any

[neat burrow]

It’s in the link

Damage challenge clears google sheet

[clever wasp]

Oh there's a sheet

[ivory kestrel]

what NC Silver grid are you using? I had this to maximize sync and PMUN stacks potential... but realized Stone Edge might miss with only +1 accu from the TM

[clever wasp]

Thanks

[crude sandal]

I wonder if this is best for Dianthacie
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/15802/71902?s=5&l=140&r=6&p=0&a=13010602&g=AAECAwQFCwwNEBESFBUbHig0NQ

[clever wasp]

Wait the only ex Roxie clear is 3/5 exr red. I don't have him more than 1/5

[civic island]

You can do pretty much the same w 1/5 Red

[clever wasp]

Without the role?

[last stream]

probably not over 1M then

[civic island]

R is pretty much needed for that but you can get pretty close tonit wothout

[last stream]

the roxie clear was pretty tight on time even with sprint red

[clever wasp]

Meep

Not having Oleana blows

[civic island]

If your red is 1/5 non R skip the BP Bassy sync cycle

[clever wasp]

And I could've paid the 5k on the select but didn't

[left vine]

Yeah I only got 1m as the last hit connected

[devout pelican]

Maybe you can get it done without the ex role provided you miss a few Play Rough

[golden tiger]

Ah

[last stream]

well 1/5 oleana ain't going to get 1M either

[golden tiger]

Ye i think I'll pass, dont have a lot of time to go for runs with paralysis for 1m

Tried it for 1h20 before i went out and barely got any 1 para runs

And i need 2

For 1m

[devout pelican]

Is there even a limited 1/5 that can do 1m? I doubt it

[acoustic heath]

Without Steve or Snorlax. I’m not hitting a million in none of them

[golden tiger]

Idt

3/5 and I'm only at 794k

Without rng

SS roxie ex^

[devout pelican]

Non-crit can happen and that mucks up the damage

[last stream]

maybe ssSteven on triple? the submissions were all invested though

[golden tiger]

Yeah

[devout pelican]

Damn 80% crit rate

[last stream]

i loathe all my pairs without sure crit or soften up

[golden tiger]

I'm basically trying this and I've yet to get 2 parashttps://youtu.be/0C8sM9Vf1LA

[frail owl]

well i did psychic fighting and bug 1m with 1/5 units. not this tho. poison is not strong and fast enough

[golden tiger]

And 1 isn't enough to squeeze out the last sync

[last stream]

I suggest playing at x1 speed, I actually noticed I wasn't queueing as quickly as possible at triple speed.

Make sure you follow their queues, like setting up roxie at countdown 6. etc.

you can still get 1.1 M even if they attack successfully

[civic island]

Btw in the comments someone asked for 1/5 Red without Lucky Skills, I gave a reply explaining how to proceed to guarantee 3 syncs
But the dmg will probably sit below 1M

Still good tho

[golden tiger]

I've been playing at x1/x2 and there wasn't a noticeable difference when I tried, my device is quite laggy and it can sometimes crash the game for no reason as well....
Without squeezing out that last sync, I'm basically stuck at 790k

[civic island]

I can't play at x3, too fast
Sometimes can't even queue 3 moves in time
Idk some ppl play on x3 so smoothly

But when rerolling for miss/ para proc is worth boosting speed

Bcs of play rpugh this time is really really easy

[golden tiger]

I'm so laggy rn because I'm using a replacement phone when my samsung broke a few months ago

X2 speed is already laggy for me

[dry whale]

I am back once again the say Koga has been pushed further

[normal parcel]

Not having at least 3/5 oleana you mean, because without 3/5 she's quite useless for DC

Can't wait for poison AOE, Geeta will finally have a good time after struggling a lot in ST

[neat burrow]

I gave up with Geeta I gave oleana a candy she was 2/5

[normal parcel]

Geeta wants a lot of stuffs to make an 1m clear

[neat burrow]

I got to like 860k or something and gave up

Even oleana was a pain in the butt but I finally had a play rough miss and it was smooth sailing

Still had like 5 seconds when I got the last sync needed

[normal parcel]

You still need a play rough miss with oleana?

[neat burrow]

Yeah

I couldn’t squeeze enough actions for the last sync

[normal parcel]

I needed a play rough miss plus an MPR for geeta

Maybe if I got 2mpr play rough miss wasn't necessary

Using Geeta tm should be faster than using Steven tm + seun

[neat burrow]

Idk I couldn’t get enough actions for the last Geeta sync either

I have a boat load of candies so wasn’t a big deal to give one to oleana

[normal parcel]

Last sync wasn't really a problem, the problem was queueing seun and the last b mortal spin

You need more than 3 secs left when you last sync to do so

[neat burrow]

I was either an entire sync off or missing crits or something my best was 860k

So I just went oleana

[normal parcel]

Geeta can't miss crits

[neat burrow]

Then I was somehow an entire sync off

[normal parcel]

Depends what rotation you used

But still good skill gears and Rolex I think are important

[neat burrow]

I only have 1/5 redlax

I was using Steven and Barry

[normal parcel]

Steven was the preferred unit regardless

However 1/5 is enough for redlax, Rolex is more important

[neat burrow]

Either way I got my 1.16mil

Bug so far was the best as Hilbert is my only 5/5 full max unit

[normal parcel]

Bug wasn't that bad cuz guzma is great for aoe

[neat burrow]

I got 5/5 doing 1 cycle during the triple banner. 3/5 Hilda, 2/5 N was so good

[normal parcel]

However bug will be definitely my bane in single target

[neat burrow]

I do have Barry but he’s only 1/5 atm

[normal parcel]

For st 5/5 Hilbert will be the king regardless

[neat burrow]

Yeah probably

Thankfully mine is a beast lol

[normal parcel]

I have him but only 1/5

Don't know if 1/5 ex nukes harder than guzma st

Don't mind investing the ex, but don't really want to invest the candies

[neat burrow]

Good unit to have at 3/5 imo but obviously depends on the situation

[normal parcel]

Yes is good, but I feel his sync too slow to setup

[dry whale]

Drastic improvement with Koga

[crude sandal]

Know what, I might just leave my current clear even if I've seen a better clear

So, what's your comps later?

[sullen zephyr]

Do you sync rush with that team?

[dry whale]

I do not this is mostly Venomshock spam and 2 Koga syncs

[crude sandal]

You've tried T. Wave spam?

[sullen zephyr]

Venoshock dps is that good?

What's chase's exr again?

[neat burrow]

Sprint I believe

[dusty ivy]

That’s crazy

I have to assume that chase analysis makes. Big different

[dry whale]

My best with para spam was 678k, Koga nuke is not that great

[crude sandal]

I assume it's with Mind Games

[dusty ivy]

Fascinating

[sullen zephyr]

Wait is queueing 3-2-2-2 faster than 3-3-3?

I saw pykyu doing that in their f2p 500k run

[icy pendant]

depends on the moves getting used

[sullen zephyr]

So all moves vary in their animation time?
Weird, this was never much of a concern before

[last stream]

because in other modes except LA, the opponent always has a move available to queue thanks to having access to 5 trainer moves

in 3v1 battles, this DC is always queueing moves so they are waiting for their move gauge to recover a lot more than in other modes

because they're recharging, you can exploit the lack of penalty on purposely failing status moves to take advantage of the sync countdown

[dusty ivy]

We did 3v3 too

But also when 3 queue ur never going to consume fast enough that the enemy do not queue mo be

It can happen in other mode but because move gaushe is plentiful usually no see

[icy pendant]

similarly, you can go for vanilla quadqueues outside of a sync or sometimes even pentaqueues if the enemy is waiting for gauge, but status moves failing are a good catalyst for that

[last stream]

the enemy's gauge isn't all that good compared to player's

in 3v1 it's 204 speed
and in 3v3 it's 475 speed

[dusty ivy]

Sages cope for anni crasher wake alt is paralysis 1/2

Like in msg

[icy pendant]

isn’t it 1/4 in msg

[last stream]

my cope is Double Hawlucha with MR & CW

but uh probably not happening

[icy pendant]

or ig paralysis is 1/2 speed but the chance to proc paralysis is 1/4 right

[last stream]

It's 50% in Gen 7 and after.

Talking about speed penalty

[icy pendant]

yeah I think it was a miscommunication on whether it was a speed change or percent to disable

[last stream]

the para chance to stop attack move has always been 25%

[dusty ivy]

Giga cope

Speed change

Is 100 speed like

A lot for decreases

When it comes to spamming move with Barry/colress

How impactful is it

[last stream]

Well they have lessen 8 I think

[dusty ivy]

O

[prisma quail]

Tomorrow we get to find out if a good team can work, or this mode is really all just twave spam

[dusty ivy]

Wdym good team

[icy pendant]

yeah trying to think about my third for Silver, I think he’ll need a third sand set to get through the whole battle but then I lose zone

[crude sandal]

Silver better than Diantha?

[dusty ivy]

Of course

Screw diantha

:3

[icy pendant]

1/5 Diantha isn’t doing anything other that set zone twice for me

[dusty ivy]

She has trip twice

[cloud timber]

it's not all twave spam bc it didn't work well on psychic triple

[dusty ivy]

So there’s that

[crude sandal]

Well, mine's 5/5 so yeah

Might have a chance to do good here

[dusty ivy]

Diantha is also a tad slower than silver

[icy pendant]

1/5 doesn’t

[cloud timber]

if they move too much it makes it not worth it (though maybe the colress/barry difference matters more there)

[dusty ivy]

I meant trip wire fuck

Lower speed for more status move stonks

[crude sandal]

She has Trip Wire 1 in grid, so she just needs to mega for complete Kekwok multiplier

[dusty ivy]

Setup I mean
