#Damage Challenge
1 messages · Page 5 of 1
A team that gets to play the game, and not just spam cheese
i could slap on sp3 on koga for a few extra points but the rng for this alone was annoying
also Diantha clicks her in-zone move once and zone expires lol
I'm hoping Lycanroc-dusk and shiny TTar work in this mode. It's a fun combo
Also, Diantha's B Move is split damage
No extend range?
Nein
or 150 him etc
Wonder if Rock Wish MPR is worth
unsure if Silver clicking B move for the AoE flinch is going to be worth it, you might make up the animation time in move denial
my plan was to start with clicking it every sync and if by some miracle that doesn’t work then I’ll get creative
which I should EX my Silver shouldn’t I lol
What pairs are considered meta for this mode?
RedLax, with 2/5 EX and cake
Klinklang
Barry/Roserade (especially with EX)
Why EX BP Barry
check pins
2 times sync?
Redlax doesn’t even need 2/5 just EXR
Thunderwave/Stun Spore time clipping
Doesn't he need 2/5 for mpr on his tm for SEUN?
also SC Steven has notable use
he gets mpr at 1/5
TM MPR is a 1/5 tile for some reason
The amount he says is so funny
old poke fairs my beloved
I left audio on for that reason. :3
THATS OT
he needs to encourage the tech pair he's with 9 times to actually attack
Oh nice!
I have had 2/5 so long I assumed that was why haha
Am I stubborn?
Colress, BarryRade and RedLax are the best ones.
Stevenland and Larry are other options.
When EoS comes 
There's also Poppy, and Oleana if only Venom Drench wasn't bugged.
Also, onlt use Diantha's TM after she syncs right?
venom drench twofer still works for the duration of time you can afford to leave anything unpoisoned
DC units
S-Tier:
RedLax, with EX and cake
Klinklang
Barry/Roserade EX
A tier:
Shiny Stoutland
Good Tech nukes
This is general right?
tech but more specifically tech + strike EXR also works super well for both 1T and 3T
and the techs regardless need their multipliers otherwise good luck
Yes, in general.
Definitely not accounting for the monthly ranked battles, which have modifiers like "your sync nuke sucks" (dragon has that this month)
when single target steel weak drops and colress gets to actually nuke in addition to his sync countdown shenigans
Imagine if Gloria gets tech EXR when 3v3 steel-weak comes
yeah my lacking of 3/5 colress will really hurt that time
imma need a hilbert that buffs +6a+3c in one tm thanks
i just did ss hilbert with champion blue for that exact reason on bug weak lol
Also Gloria has a TM similar to Redlax
oh right I have a game guide that will be going up soon for this
No, i meant Physical version of Nc Blue
Instead of Barrycolress redlax etc
So i can press 1 tm and sit there
Oh u just want one button set up attack


that is ss lance coming 5th anni trust
Ah yes
(dont trust)
For me, Lance’ll always has Hyper Beam and tm that drain his HP
Getting closer on the SS Roxie clear
Learned a couple things from the pinned one.
1/5 Red can handle but adrenaline 1 from 3/5 is needed for to get the last sync off OR 2-3 paras/missed
And the sprint role is 100% necessary on Red
I'm hoping on that
The 1v3 steel will be a breeze, kGrimsley is a serious nuker
But 3v3 
Nuke for sure
It's not too hard setup wise, you need paralyse, -6 atk and rising tide
And brings own spdef debuffs
will the clock let Doom Desire proc? 
Hmm np setup, rising tide so any supp will do
wait Tate has BOGO on charm
there’s another tech I need at 3/5 sigh
BOGO is bad sadly
Charm doesn't work regardless, it only debuffs a single stat.
Not that he would be a good spammer anyway because of doom desire
The queue penalty is still applied to Charm and Screech.
without EXR?
Well done
1 million is absolutely not doable without exr red

Figure it'll be help for rally too
Yeah, he's such a good investment
Especially since alot of times i get support sprint rounds and I don't use mine cuz I save Rosa and Cynthia for the final battle alot
That's why I didn't mind giving red his role, Barry his ex, and Roxie 3/5
sprint red is also handy for quick and dirty on-type cs
Roxie will be a lot of help. She was my mix scout choice anyways
She was my only cakes unit before BR lol
I probably will give her the strike role so she can 1 mil the 3v3 too
Waiting for electric and water honesty cuz Ash/Red and NC Serena are gonna massive nuke theirs
yeah all the good types are so late
Really hate dena for that
Fire won't be bad either hopefully cuz NC Leaf and Alt 2 Gloria are gonna shred
I can't wait for August cuz field ss Kris and mix Leaf will both probably be our first rain field paies
I think electric will probably be dominated by ssHau
I just honestly wanna nail a 1M nuke with Ashs b move
should be sshau for 3 targets
Yeah definitely
Although mines 1/5 no role 😅
I'll probably just accept whatever over 1 million
I don't HAVE to crush it just to beat it. Crushing would just be a bonus
ash should do well too, since his setup is uh very easy, no need to debuff
Ash will probably be second best for 3 target due to very silly B move
but yeah an invested SS Hau just seems too good there, perfect kit to excel here
Hau gives alsp plenty of spmuns so his bmove will deal crazy dmg
Plus hau passive n electric terrain
I'm trusting gool ol' Elesa
Oh also my clear before was actually missing the second sync move critting for Roxie
Might try a couple more times but that's only for like 100k pts more
Oh so Geeta was possible. Well probably really needing mpr from 3/5 Steven
Nkay
But there's probably stuff on the grid necessary for the score
let me check something
I've been screwing around with grids
this is the final one I found most consistent
I used 5 tackle total to hit the 2 defense crush procs
The Reddit video was a pretty bad strategy
FYI in the run above
Like I said plenty of wiggle room
this took 2 tries
I'm not going to do more resets for slightly better score
What RNG was involved?
greeta needs refresh or you reset
and really can only do 4-5 tackle so must hit 2 defrense crushy
Yes that's the bare minimum
2/5 def crush is not that much luck
So really just the greeta refresh and it's done
I was seeing posts about going 2 for 2 on defense crush and that's just not correct
In the video it needed 2 refreshes I think
Personally I cleared with just 1 MPR and no DC shenanigans, but I got a play rough miss
oh did you get an extra hit?
note with this set up I get -3 accuracy so misses are easier
I used a different strategy than the reddit one
3/5 exr NC Silver quivering in anticipation for next reset
Who debuffs accuracy?
Is something that has in his grid?
you were tackling for -acc?
tackle for 2 defense crush activation
the accuracy down is a bonus
This improved my rate of 1 mil run considerably
why not use the flinch node then
he just stores bar during flinch
and you can't spam spore
you need him to run out of bar
But it doesn't charge while flinched I think
that doesn't seem correct, but I might be wrong
flinch caused me to not be close when I tried it earlier this week
you still charge gauge, but it's reduced
the real keys here are getting 7 spore off while he's out of bar
However I had 1/5 Steven so using tackle besides the rebuff wasn't really an option
got it
In the end I still managed to get 1m with reasonable rng
the acc is just a bonus none of it required
But I guess Rolex and skill gear played a role
spore? you talking about a greta play
I just figured why not finish a run with 2/5 tackle procs and it was good to go
No the back half of the rotation is
Maybe stun spore
Stun spore
"sync -> SS -> greeta tm -> SS 7
I have no clue
Barry has stun spore
To be honest I don't know the names of any of the trainers or pokkemon at this point
I just type something close to it
just geeta
👍
I know only the first 151 lol
apologize for the rest
anyway I didn't figure anything out, I just wanted to point out you don't need back to back defense crush to get the 1 mil
I saw people reseting for back to back + 3 trainer MPR
and it was gross
Personally I did tackle mortal spin b leer, b mortal spin ss tm b leer sync and then sync spam
I noticed that if you plan to use b mortal spin for the -3 defense, you have to do it asap, because at the start the opponent has charged gauge and it will just overflow
I see you used that at start to make up for the drops fair enough
probably comes out the same
If you use b mortal spin post sync it will let the opponent charge his gauge back an it will mess your run
And I also use just 2 b leer, -5 def is enough and a 3rd b leer would have costed me the run
final score?
Plus that initial mortal spin still added like 30k damage to the total
I think either 1 MPR and 1 play rough miss or 2 MPR are needed
Ok... I think I'm ready.
Until it turns out we need Diancie sync. I can swap her in as well I guess...
I guess for this DC NC silver will be the MVP, then I guess Olivia for f2p
For Olivia I don't think sand blaster 5 is worth using but inertia is still a nice multiplier
What extension does have NC silver for sandstorm? The same as field ex?
He has a passive that extends Sandstorm. It's probably like extension 3, or something.
NC silver should be the best if it can keep the sandstorm running for the whole match
3 probably isn't enough to keep sand for the whole match
This grid is the plan
His passive extension works.
It is around long enough to let lycanrock EX+cake sync, then ttar do the second sync to re-set a very extended sandstorm
Both units are caked, for me
When we see how the fight plays out, a late game Max Rockfall might be necessary.
We just have to see if this fight is allowed to be good and fun, or if it's awful trash like the others
Yes I mean keeping the sand by himself without having to slot a sandstorm unit like lycanrock
I mean Paulo can't set rock zone
Correct
I'd love to use Dianthie/Lycanroc-dusk/shinyTtar
But then who spams?
So I'm hoping that's viable, and not paralyze spam necessary
Diantha b move is super slow
I mean, I got more damage on fighting type using a real team than para spamming.
And on AOE psychic, it was VERY close
Prismatic laser is fast
Dianthie would mostly be there to press rock zone, and be the third+sync
I don't have Necrozma. It was always an easy skip unit
This is the one game mode I wish I'd had it for.
Deoxys and Lele got me to the needed 1 mil though
I think diantha b move is pretty slow (not as slow as b mortal spin but slow
Ew...
I didn't know we had one of the combo yet.
I wonder if him + BarryRade + Dianthie will be the winning team...
Two sprint syncs + lycanrock's accel rock sync speed
Dianthie only used for setting rock zone. Maybe for MPR on her trainer move, since it counts for 2 on the sync timer (3 after mega evolving, but without a support/sprint/strike EX role, you probably won't sync on the AOE fight with her.
mega bp nerf 
Every rock type damage dealer since Archeops... 😬
Aerodactyl, Diancie, Dianthie, Shiny Ttar...
No, we don't have shiny Aerodactyl yet
there's still Aggron lol
Mega Aggron loses the rock type, doesn't he?
aggron has to be steel yeah
oh right, plus there's no way they'll make him rock
peony will get it if anything
He could type change, like Mega Lopunny.
But he probably wouldn't. Or shouldn't. It doesn't seem like it would be a positive.
Weak to ground or fighting, either way
The defensive power on Aggron also would imply to me he shouldn't be a damage unit
Imagine he's a steel type, weak to fighting.
Mega evolves on sync, gains +1 rebuff to fighting (because of his filter ability in the MSG)
yeah imo aggron is a support with jasmine-like physical bulk that has some way to mitigate super effective damage taken
#character-concept-crafting message 
the 5.0 anni steven could come and steel mega aggron
||You mean the early August Steven, which is bait for 5.0 Red||
or he's not bait and winds up ssS 2.0
What if serious Cynthia and Steven both show up before Annie haha
Are we expecting serious Steven and Cynthia? I haven’t been keeping up with Mysterious Stones
They’re pretty dated so that’s a cool idea
No.
It's a meme because they are popular units and characters, and have appeared during or just before major Annies before
Rock weak tomorrow
Send help
That’s kind of a shame
it's 3v3 sooo
olivia gaming
Sandstorm + Olivia, it is
how sufficient would a 3/5 submas be lmao
paulo's aoe sand shelter will be important too
I only managed to get 500k points using this same team 😦
Do I have to sync with both ex supports first or...?
otherwise you need sand shelter ls on bp barry/colress
Forgot rock type was a thing in this game
Corless has it in grid
Barry needs lucky skill
But I’m still iffy on bringing it on DC
Sync spam isn't always the best option but most times it is
Generally when your unit has great sync but bad DPS, or the DPS has super slow animation
Rock type, more like ground type alpha
...
What is the sync order?
Wait
Hold on
What is the strat for marnie again?
I'm out of the top 100 so i need to fix that
See
Like dayum
Who is the best pair for this DC Oleana?
That's using her B Move 3 times
Oleana yes.
I just
Cannot
Get over 1m3
Then again
No... Something is not right
Even with geeta, poison zone and -6
And every sync crit
It just does not add up
Geeta can't do it without rebuff from SC Steven
i've only seen Geeta get one mil with rebuff applied
yeah Emma’s kinda bad for ST
koga it is
if you have a Koga EX go for it, I don’t though and don’t have the resources to make one
ive had him ex for almost a year
my 3/5 silver is ready for tmw
only issue is i dont have like rock zone for silver or anything
wo im thinking to go silver bp barry and then who else?
also I think Colress would be optimal over Barry due to defense debuffing
cries in 1/5 colress
oof that one hurts but hey it’s 3/5 Cilver you’re probably fine regardless
also you think its worth exing bp barry for sync sup?
support ex is definitely important for DC
It's already turbo stuff, It has to work quite well
And with all those accels you can ramp damn fast
Paulo + Red is literally 4 sync buffs in no time
Sad I got no Paulo when pulling for Tina 
lmao
Is there a Koga strat that doesn't have annoying RNG? I just did Geeta/Koga/BPBarry and got like 200k
Cuz I sure wasn't gonna reset for poison procs
Already have to reset for Koga MPR...
Eventually try -2 if it allows one extra sync
I don’t think Koga pairs well with Geeta since he can’t buff himself. I’d choose one or the other and use the third to support them

Highest I’ve seen with Koga was @dry whale’s strat
where?
Used Chase and Redlax and basically just spammed venoshock
I think special attack buffs might be more important than SEUP so it might be worth using a support other than Redlax if you’re wanting to sync spam
Oh yeah trueb
Thud
Totally forgot lol
I think I got 600kish using Chase in that comp over Redlax and im pretty sure circle doesn’t make that much of a difference
I’d keep at it
So I just had a great run was on pace for 840k and Koga did not crit 
Bruh 
Are they EX’d
Or caked?
both ye, Roxie has EXR
I think I'm calling it. 803k is nothing to sneeze at, I went above and beyond what many tried to with Koga. Maybe there will be a good Poison type in the future that I can pull for.
But for now, it's saving up for anniversary so poison gonna have to wait.
Then go ssRoxie
Para give some good time advantages
I hope anniversary is skippable
and what should the team be? Redlax Colress
Plop
Redlax barry
l
Anni pairs are always made with ultimate battles or some rough battles in mind
oh bpBarry ?
Yup
aight, ty
Spam a bit faster abd because you can't have poison zone sync you need those +2 spatk
I care about if I want it
Should I cake Redlax for it ?
Support sprint is just pog
Sprint support is a great pairing but if you don’t use him for anything else it’s up to you
I do use him ig
F what do i do for ROCK
I'll go for it
If you don't have many top units he's really useful n worth
I use him a lot more since I caked him myself
Even for rally it's very helpful
I'm gonna use him alot. Didn't before but he is very useful
Olivia
im satisfied
what grid on Barry ?
ah alright
Thinking if Olivia Aoe nuke does more than SS Diantha rock zone nuke
caked redlax
ah aight
Vs3 sure, both require some setup
But they can work together ig
Is there a guide for the Dark and Ghost challenge
#1128052735967764621
Thanks
ok how come I Only got 150k 
Are you spamming stun spore to skip turns?
If it's EX
But if your ssRoxie is 1/5 you want to use Bmove mainly after stacking few sync buffs
my Barry is still 4*
Oh yeah then second sync with roxie
Below 1 min try to use bmove only, remember to set Electric terrain
Basically damage wise it's 2 bmove = 1 sync
And try to use poison zone as later as possible
Poison zone will last 45+30 s
aight, lemme see
Like around 1:30 use ET, Maxmove then spam Bmove (and sync when ready)
Idk but more I believe, gonna try
Do you have poison gear? And cs2 lucky skill?
Sure, gonna remove grids and gears
I'll try again later...
gets barely over 1m
1.02m iirc
I believe you can hit 400k which is quite low
Do you have something else eventually? Some heavy hitters? SsGiovanni?
ss gio has no nuke
But dps is no joke
Gave it a try, and got 2 para procs 
Btw was trying the timings for the zone that mattered the most, so
Before ssRoxie first sync use Electric Terrain, Max move, then sync
Use red tm while ET is up to get some SC and damage boost (save one for the last sync)
Used normal 3* gears and Vigilance LS
But beside that I have no clue what can be better beside investing on Koga Ex
Doubt even EXing 1/5 Oleana will do better
Since you got no type gears, try cover witht skill gears and events feathers
SsRoxie and ssPiers feathers can work quite well on a set
Take a drink everytime you see a comment hating T-wave meta
does anyone else think dragon aoe meta will be nc Nate+ nc bianca + colress
Is 3/5 CRed a good investment? Im stuck at 783k and 1 action away from a third SSRoxie sync lol…
Or should I just fish for misses/paralysis?
you'd have to compare it to your other candy options to know
imo he's good enough at 1/5
if it's just 1 action you could change a ls or hope for better rng
Imagine complaining abt something that can help you without hurting others
Does anyone else think there's a better strat for dragon aoe normal?
I have exactly 1 other support candy options, which is SC Shauna. All other limited supports (all MF except CBede, SSAcerola, Ingo, Smorty, Fallister, SSBlue) ar at at least 3/5. I am very close to my 4th support candy.
I was saving them for a CBede rerun and the potential anniversary Support
But Im tempted to spend 2 on CRed…
save
1/5 EXR is more than enough
That adrenaline is not worth one or more candy imo
Aight, thanks!
~~ 2/5 for 60% para proc on LG stages ~~
I dont have enough patience to do more than 7-8 LG solos 
I do, his dps is something
Regardless, thank you for the help!
Why BiaNCa? Unova Pride?
Nvm she has Flag Bearer like NC Rosa
broke: hate on twave meta
woke: already used twave meta in LG
bespoke: used venom drench meta back in raihan tt
you won't do dps in dragon aoe normal
tho his b move is worth it ngl
more damage and Accel
Meant it was for the ranked rules
I did use TWave meta in LG for a decent amount
ah, ranked will probably be nc nate, Steven and zerena but I am talking about normal dragon
wdym
do you mean to say zerena will be better in ranked v3?
probably
zerena probably not better in ranked because most of her damage comes from sync while nate has funny b move
I thought zerena had good dps?
Do you wanna turn skip on dps only is the thing
Not quite as much but you want some sync buffs
I think the answer is "a bit, but not too much" 
if you have a third turn skipper I don't see why not, then you can aggressively cycle Nate's B move
I don’t have NC Nate I think I’m gonna use Zerena Larry and Lucas
that's a great score for Koga! congrats! How'd you do that run? how many times did Koga sync? when do you use SC Steven's SEUN vs TM?
dragon definitely gets the third turn skipper though
Also abuse of dragon zone more
Like Colress ncNate ncBianca
Two maxed master passives, two maxed circles, bianca 20% passive
Will be fun
tbf syncs still boost your regular moves so Accel doesn't actually cause issues
Can't wait for tomorrow
Got a swimming competiion right at reset, have to swim faster 🏊♂️
Ok Marlon
Looks like I'm not getting a million points...
Despite having meta poison sync pairs...

Don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Guess it just requires a million resets
Tried both the Geeta and SS Roxie methods
low move levels?
there's videos in the clear sheet
and where is that?
I hate mobile Discord
I didn't update it 
Why would it be in settings
1 sync w barry 3 syncs w koga, never used stevens tm he just tackled and seun kogas 2nd and 3rd syncs
@foggy sun i can share my clear if you like
As long as it doesn't require a specific lucky skill, MPRs, and missing moves via para, sure
1.1 Mil run, Non EXRed Oleana or Geeta. the only thing that might be needed is one MPR on SC Steven (if you don't have him, rip.)
Didn't roll for Oleana

...Huh. It looks like SS Roxie isn't that bad after all. I see her on top of the sheet.
Is the 3/5 stuff required? I've got the candies for it (and I'd honestly probably get some payment for it in the long term anyway, Redlax's probably going to see more use in general and SS Roxie is my main focus for if I need poison type stuff)
any damage dealer/tech nuker will need 3/5 for the most damage output
Do you have Chase and Redlax? I got over 1m with those two and SS Roxie
You know what we need? Gladion getting a tech cake, haymaker , inertia and the ability to put a rebuff on to any type he super effective on.
Is base Gladion already a Tech?
Noted. I've got, like 6 tech candies.
Wait your right , striker cake then
Guess he didn't know about Prestige and how Janine is toptier there since Venom Drench has little to no animation
What about Redlax? How wanted is candy for him?
I only have 3 support candies by comparison.
No need, you can do fine with 1/5 Redlax since his TM MPR is in 1/5
Noted.
Having EX is definitely recommended. Cake, not so much
yep
He does have cake. Wanted that so I have more sprint and field options.
Basically, if it gets Sprint or Field, I want it.
same!
Then what you need is a good poison dps. Oleana 3/5 seems to be the ideal choice to get that 1m
SS Roxie works too. Everyone else needs to work much harder
Ah, I see part of the reason why they have 3/5 Redlax in this: Adrenaline.
So basically if you're using Roxie, 3/5 isn't necessary but you really do need 3 misses to get enough syncs in for a million
I went ahead and got 3/5. I have some candies to spare on that and she's my main poison type for content anyway.
Honestly, the big issue for who to use tech candies on was... well, look at this. I have a good few options to begin with.
Did people that used oleana for this did you use colress t-wave first or her mad move but then how do you get the debuffs for her nuke (she’s my only poison pair)
Hmm... would Geeta see use at all?
Just asking, in case the guy was using the team he had in particular due to a lack of Geeta. Don't know his roster, so...
This Marine event is driving me nuts. Steven and Ash Snorlax should be free.
I managed 750k+ with 3/5 caked geeta, 1 oleana, and 1 steveland
Unfortunately I'm down to 100 per rotation average again
Exchange tickets I mean
I mean, Redlax was given for free during 4.5
Unless you chose Lucas or Gloria
Most would have chose Lucas if having none
What is the best approach for this?
But weird to me that people skipped redlax the 3 times or so before that on solo or combo banners
I use Greta and Emma and got like 200k but surely it can do better
This mode seems very gridy even with such good pairs
Please ping me
You're not wrong. Going by usefullness at 1/5, probably Lucas > Red > Gloria
I have lots of other pairs too, like 280
Do u have the sync grid for this match?
Something like this I imagine: link
The others grid have not much importance, Barry only needs charging infliction, red only needs mpr for his TM
Also throwing attack debuff immunity LS on Barry might help
Red will kinda want ex and rolex tho
Thanks a lot
My Barry is ex'd as well
That run I got lucky with geeta's mpr that I could pull off a pmun+10 B move twice
so you cpam barry stun spore and steven tackle to get to koga's sync?
Won't that still show the passive? 
steven only tackles once at the start for rebuff
then its stun spore spam
you do need to get to -6 sp def with koga
You want to stack PUMN on your dps just so it can squeeze in one normal move at the end, but Steven's TM takes some time to use as well
anything that involves status changes has an animation time
Tbh idk if it shortens the time or not
when play rough lowers your attack
I just slapped it on
When you fail to crit
Anyone able to help?
I see. So Koga needs to use Poison Fang, Venom Drench x 6 and TM x 3? And Barry TM x 3 then stun spore spam? THat seems a lot of moves Koga needs to make
Let’s go
Do the f2p koga run if you have him EX. But odd is you don't
prob wanna check the clear sheet in the pins and find the most relevant team from there
I don't think 1/5 Geeta will be able to do much
What is that?
PyPy nè
wait
- Grid and LS: https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=009900040700&s0=5&l0=140&r0=6&p0=0&a0=21010101&t0=44444&g0=AAEGCAsNEBocHiEk&v1=006000016900&s1=5&l1=140&r1=6&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=4444&g1=BQYICw0QJigqLQ&v2=005400016900&s2=5&l2=140&r2=6&p2=0&a2=13010602&t2=44444&g2=AAECAwQFFBUXGBkjJScoLi8
- I only gave Koga Cs2 bc out of cookie lol
- Need a lot ...
Yes, it's gonna be brutal. And yes, you have to deal with it
Marnie? More like Maldnie
That looks disgusting.......
What if you ex Janine too?
Dang it, this was the best I got.
Who uses those units?!
You can easily get 1 million with that team
Important Notes:
The run pattern require 2 miss/para proc, it's relatively easy, reset early for one and there are good chances you get another
IF your countdown is at 8s or more after your last sync, you can use one extra Red TM like in the video (require 3 miss/para proc)
Otherwise just queue ssRoxie bmove
SS Roxie 3/5 EXR, Red 3/5 EXR, BP Ba...
I don't have Head Start and Adrenaline.
oh
I don't have any of the stupid exclusive skills.
you should maybe get 700-800k? maybe
Why does this mode force me to grind for so long just to get tickets, use bad units, or whale to candy every unit I have? Like who designed this?
Best I can do to upgrade is get CS.
I spent 3 premium cookies obtained from LG on Steven, Colress and BP Barry. Gotta say it's worth it especially with swappable LS
Why the hell is all the good stuff locked behind LG and can't be gotten any other way?
yeah with the swappable LS a lot of these modes become a lot easier
I'll just stick with getting 10 tickets every run, I'll have a pair in a year at least
Well, it's not like you need to rush this mode or anything. Eventually you will have all of them.
I mean, we had LG just weeks ago. Everyone out of cookies would have been hitting the grind
you're very far from forced to do anything
I ran out of time and that was probably when I was sick.
there's 0 time limits on the rewards
so not really much of anything I could do there.
The real reward (gem) is not score-locked
Not sure why you'd settle for that, it's a new way to play that isn't focused on mitigation passives.
I don't do gauntlet because I never have time to grind it. I'm very sick and spend 5 days a week at appointments
What do you mean? I'm not sure if I understand what you mean
Honestly, most of the events are designed for veterans, especially those who invested a decent resource on their pairs
Well the game has modes, and it's up to you if you want to participate in them. It's not the mode's fault you don't have invested poison units, or whatever type comes up.
I cannot vouch for everyone else, but I can do EX on any 3-star or 4-star pairs. Cake (and 5-star candies) is the only thing I have issues with
I pick Lucas because I need dragon dragon wish 
Would it be impossible to have SS Diantha carry you to 1 million for a triple-target Rock DC?
I mean, players were saying there wasn't much to do so they made a different game mode that has a social community effort.
Unfortunate, but he's definitely a stellar option that will be helpful for Dragon DC
dumb question but how do the "orange" rewards work?
i dont think ive noticed getting them
It's a social event online?
I think the leaderboards are encouraging a bit more social dynamic the game has been lacking. If everyone is just on an island doing their own thing you end up not talking about the game outside of this social circle.
Literally
Players when no content : We're bored! Where's the content!?
Players when content : Stop! We don't need more content!
Yes. People like to compete and show off their scores, and post about it here and online.
It also encourages more video content from creators.
nature of the internet and easily being able to find the worst complaints
Is this the rewards for the competitive one coming up?
Not wrong with this. I got more poma in my feed that way
They're just orange to indicate a unique reward.
It does seem like the ranked rewards
oh so a one-time thing?
I just need 500k I just need 500k I just need 500k I just need 500k
If so I guess 500k is a good stopping point, but 800k is the ideal end point?
For that one you need 1 million across 3 stages, so hopefully it shouldn't be as hard... maybe 
333k per stage
But I don't need orbs I'm maxed
Why would you let your orbs max? They can expand sync grids.
Marnie being one of the stages :
You'll get them each time a ranked event happens, just like hse.
I don't know who to expand the grid on
Sync move DR tho 
ohh wait nvm i see the difference regular and ranked, thanks!
Just curious, but how long have you been playing?
Day 1
Just pick your favourite so your orbs don't max out
a good one is to do BP Clemont & Magneton to make the tornadus solo a lot easier
I'd expand an invested pair you like or know is good meta-wise. You can just do 2-6 energy expansions if your unsure.
Just do not let your
cap. That's wasting resources.
I just expand grid for favorites but usually just at 6E unless they are 5/5
i expand grids when an LG clear is being annoying lol
yeah prob just want to pick your favorites if you're not into lg
This was a fluke run where i somehow got an extra sync in. Can't seem to replicate that so i guess i'll stop here.
You need Play Rough to miss to usually get one more sync in
Doesn't this poison stage repeat in a few weeks?
Ranked
For this Barry pair what does he need?
it repeats but instead of singles its a triple
and if its a triple you use colress instead of barry
For some reason flinching doesn't seem to shave off any time at all
Or if you needed that -6 Def debuff
Oleana does appreciate that
yeah
yea it's play rough misses that save a bunch of time
Each play rough takes a notable amount of seconds, so missing it is crucial
Thanks
I'll just wait it out for the big competitive damage ones
As for the next one in a couple hours, it's rock right?
yep
3 opponents and rock type
Should be easier
finally, one I should excel in (I have NC Silver and SS Diantha)
NC Silver is probably going to be the strategy, especially with his B-Move
So silver and diantha?
The poison one really shamed me for not investing in Geeta/having Roxie or Oleana
To be fair, Geeta struggles to get 1m. You need some strict rng to pull that off
And colress as a third?
do you have Redlax?
colress is probably a good option.
colress/ NC Silver/ Redlax is probably the best strategy
Gauge: - | Power: - | Accuracy: - | Uses: 2
Target: An ally
Effect Tag: -
Reduces the sync move countdown of an allied sync pair by 1. Raises an ally's critical-hit rate by 2 stat ranks. Applies the Supereffective ↑ Next effect to an ally.
Red & Snorlax
yeah koga needs to move quite a bit but unfortunately it is what it is when you're working with a day 1 f2p unit
Plus the TM MPR for this is at 1/5 so its very accessible
Oh so I don't even have to candy him
koga's alright but people get spoiled with new stuff
So colress paralysis, lax for stat boost, and silver to attack?
got it, I guess that's why you can only sync 3 times
yeah, and colress also has go viral screech for NC Silvers Sync + B-Move
Oh yeah that lowers the opponent stats
very important to note that pykuo did not debuff with venoshock and reached 8 sync buffs
My Geeta is only 1/5 lol!
So I can't even get that
I had to use the koga strat 💀
Yeah, you're not getting that. Even 3/5 is a struggle 
Provided that the enemy doesn't keep attacking in this mode
What is the grid for colress that we want?
Currently in progress #1261142582688223233 , you'll find an explanation for "No Queue Penalty", which is what many LG people were using all along, and why Barry & Colress work so well in this mode.
SS Roxie will work much better for me on the 3 enemy poison weak stage
in pins
3/5 Barry (Roserade) Grid

, 

,

- Obtainable from the
BP Shop - Barry assists with Special and Accuracy buffs and is handy for Support EX, especially in 3 vs 1 battles.
3/5 Colress (Klinglang) Grid
,
AOE,
AOE- Obtainable with
Unova Scout Tickets / General Pool - Colress provides Ripple Effect 9 & Go Viral 9 effects to Screech and Thunder Wave respectively, great in 3 vs 3 battles.
Honestly this mode is stupid
She got 1M here. Using the sync rush method. #1255888121648644197 message
And it's not like the free pairs are amazing
So whatever
Rally still superior game mode
You get 100 gems for clearing it
Oh
Okay well then just throw whatever
There's no gems behind specific score requirements
it's a nice mode just not if you're expecting 1m without a very stacked roster
I was surprised when I read "this game mode makes me care about tech ex"
And strike ex!
well people already cared about those apparently
I have always saved my cakes for rally only
i did hate this mode at too first though lol
same
I don't feel strongly about this mode because while I don't like it, it doesn't gatekeep anything important
but we didn't know the
⭐ meta ⭐
Wow... all those MPRs and the enemy not attacking 
Until 3 days later
I loved this mode at first because I had all the cracked psychic units
But when you don't have anything on grid you REALLY feel it lol
I assume the optimal team is Diantha/Colress/Silver with silver as the attacker
You just have Diantha set up rock zone
Red lax can be option too
Remove move animations pls
The clear was done using only a single MPR from Red. The other reimburse came from G-Max move.

SC Hilda or Olivia hmmm
That would increase the viability of b move dps
Why would redlax be better than Colress? Redlax can't get to sync quicker
I'm missing the Lucky Skills and getting unlucky with Play Roughs
play rough 
God. i really really wish SC Hilda had EXR Support 😭
Got it. How do you grid koga to get everything? Venoshock mind games, tm refresh , sync nodes, blind spot...?
oh boy klara drops this reset, can't wait to use her to get a high score on the single target poison weak stage! (clueless)
i ran this
Ah you skip cs1
You can focus on Koga’s Sync instead but that requires some miss to get to 5th Koga’s Sync
You need a pair to give Koga +6 SpAtk too
yea its too out of the way
what do my prospects for this upcoming DC look like?
i had barry buff koga's sp atk
For god's sake, I didn't even get much better.
do you have rose
no
ur COOKED!
Freaking hate how the cookies you need for this are LG only.
Rose dps ? 
Why are you guys doing DC when it's 2 hours from rotating anyway. We had 3 days 
i have geeta though 
Basically punishes you if you didn't have the stuff for it.
I'm just done, I have other games to handle.
cuz he doesnt have the aoe penalty
Waiting for the day for someone to find a way to bug the timer to freeze with a way to unfreeze it after getting enough damage
Geeta can do 900k, 1m is really stretching it
F2p rock will be tough
I got koga to sync 3 times with Geeta and bp barry. But score less than 550k
Olivia need
Freaking just leaves me miserable because of COURSE all the good stuff is locked behind LG.
Trust in Brock 
i think i am doing rose, ss diantha, and uh
SSBROCK META
paulo....?
THE TIME HATH COME
iron next
i have 1/5 paulo lmao
I'm cooked
Wait, we did have Gordie for Rock
I forgot gordie existed
I actually plan with Acerola/Olivia/Colress
i need to cake him
Not even sure if Kukui can do it
For 1m?
I've got NC Silver for next time, at least.
kukui nuke is horrible
BP Barry is gone bc ew sandstorm
NCSilver SSDiantha check
Why not Sand Shelter?
i am NOT spamming diamond storm with ss diantha. she will use it 3 times and thats IT.
Idk what she does
Or Colress?
Use it 0 times bestie
Colress is free

Well rock zone is rock wish
You could give Barry Sand Shelter with crispy lmao
No need to click B Diamond Storm
Mega Sync damage 
- B Move animation
- Debuff def
- Raise Def
Good luck who going to spam that

NC Silver will protect your team. My concern is the enemy side 
B moves... funny that they regen a lot of gauge but kill fields and timed modes
Anyways if you don't have 3/5 EX NCSilver you can probably kiss 1m goodbye
thats my core
Just have to make back the lost tickets with electric weak
That why NC Rosa has the best gauge 
welp
Maybe Emett or CBlue can do something
rip 1m
Surely SC Hilda can do some numbers
The dream gone
at least I have that.
she will have to Sync by herselff.
my gameplan is to just
Mega tax baby
she has 2 DPS aand 2 Nuke tiles
It's still low even in mega
Mega 
It's ok just push her up
only strike rock ex I have is Olivia
And her sync dmg is reduced bc Mega lol
i feel like

i should just max her ATK and Speed
what 2021 does to a mother-
Why can't we get that passive skill that reduces that max sync count every sync?
Like # of moves needed to sync?
the gelato is so fun in rally
Yes

champion blue literally has this
Everyone gets to be a nuke
we've had like... 20% with ncBlue 
In an alternate universe sure
Team Give Anniversary Steven +200 ATK
We will have that when Anni Steven V2 get released
CBlue doesn't look too bad
Haymaker
Soften Up
WOW that atk stat is low
Like lower than SCHilda

both of them mega, so they get a bigger boost from gear
Dw, Olivia will carry us with her Sync after uhhhhh, 2 X Atk, 2 Tm, 6 Atk

+1 atk
Okay it's done.
#1261142582688223233
You are a god amongst humankind
So uh any tips for getting 1M with ss roxie? 3/5 exr, I have redlax and poppy 1/5 + bp barry and colress for the accessible partners
Important Notes:
The run pattern require 2 miss/para proc, it's relatively easy, reset early for one and there are good chances you get another
IF your countdown is at 8s or more after your last sync, you can use one extra Red TM like in the video (require 3 miss/para proc)
Otherwise just queue ssRoxie bmove
SS Roxie 3/5 EXR, Red 3/5 EXR, BP Ba...
so each tuesday is a battle against 1 target, Friday is 3 targets? 😮
Does red need 3/5 exr?
If your Red isn't exr, you will probably only get 600-800k
Alr I can EXR
