Damage Challenge

[tired narwhal]

Ahh nice

Big difference between 1/5 and 3/5 SS hilbert?

[civic island]

P.Serena is fast and got paralysis
Hilbo can drop spdef

[vernal condor]

If you somehow have enough gauge, stun spore can be spammed

[ivory kestrel]

P.Serena new meta

[scenic grotto]

Got 1 SS Hilbert from SS Hilda/SS Hilbert/SS N triple banner
Got 1 SS Hilbert dupe from 72 hour banner
Might end up spending 1 tech candy because apparently the game wants me to have SS Hilbert

[civic island]

Ye

[tired narwhal]

SS hilbert is my best I’m guessing?

Also who has bug zone?

[civic island]

Imo he solve all your bug issues
Caked is amazing

[ivory kestrel]

Maybe best from your roster... but a lot of SS Hilbert goodies are in 3/5 grid

[scenic grotto]

I agree

[tired narwhal]

Gotchu, so I would need to candy

[scenic grotto]

Too bad SS Hilbert’s sync doesn’t work like Alt Gloria’s

[ivory kestrel]

both limited pairs, sc ingo and holiday viola

[dry whale]

So , basically I replace Barry with Melony and use SS Hilbert and Chase again.

I still find it funny the only reason I discovered Chase was because I do not have a bug zone unit.

Would Chase have still been discovered? Of course, it is too good a unit to go under the radar for too long.

I wonder if we still have some hidden gems being overlooked.

[civic island]

Probably, things change
Like, sadly, I couldn't see a full invested Brycen Man

[tired narwhal]

SS Brock >

[glossy atlas]

Well, first 3/5 Ex Dc unit

[tired narwhal]

How is Weavile?

[glossy atlas]

Good , honestly i went for who could perform better for me in lg

[covert geyser]

zamn

[last stream]

oh I just grabbed a bunch at 1/5 for rally ._.

[vernal condor]

Most people do that I believe

[orchid crescent]

i'm 3/5ing units first personally

[rare apex]

likewise

assuming bug-1 doesn't go sideways for me, i should be able to get 2/5 hugh

[orchid crescent]

ST Bug might as well be a skip DC for me lol

[rare apex]

i do have 3/5 exr gilbert but . . .

hm. i wonder if he can cut it

no zone or anything though

[orchid crescent]

probably better than my 5/5 Noland EX

[inner parcel]

Wrong channel

[rare apex]

perhaps melony sing spam will allow gilbert to handle it with ease

[orchid crescent]

need alder to have an MF so i can have a good bug type lmao

[last stream]

what's that you want MF Benga, and make Alder more irrelevant? Say no more.

[orchid crescent]

i'll take it

[snow raptor]

[rare apex]

6 unova master fairs

i'd probably have to pull just so i can say i have all 6

[snow raptor]

was there any info about the next DC Ranked ? 🤔

[last stream]

[orchid crescent]

3 80% sync damage reduction stages time

[inner parcel]

Slap a mf passive on volcarona, and there

[ivory kestrel]

slapping mf passive on Alder won't solve his issues lol

[jagged radish]

give him critical strike 10, move gauge refresh 9, and make his attacks cause confusion so we can give him charging confusion 9 :V

[feral hamlet]

How do I get 1mil with Marnie?

[thick stump]

step 1: have her 3/5

nah but, ss cyrus might be better instead of cred

[feral hamlet]

I don't get it. Why 3/5? She doesn't get anything good

[thick stump]

sync tiles, wounded sync 5, soften up

and protect super prep + t move propulsion ig

[frail owl]

1/5 should be enough to get 1m

[turbid vault]

@last stream I'm jealous of that custom emoji :bugsno

[cloud tinsel]

[rare apex]

how to push further i wonder

[covert geyser]

pushed to my limit I fear

[ivory kestrel]

Off topic question: Who has theoretically the high sync damage ceiling? SS Silver (3/5) or NC Red (3/5)? Assuming optimal conditions and setup for both

[valid radish]

Silver

asuming both get -2 rebuff + ice zone + hail

[rose basalt]

bug single this reset right?

[safe prawn]

Red

Tech ex role
No base nerfed bp
2 full multipliers and a 50% under hail

[teal haven]

yall think its possible for akari to hit 2m at 3/5 (without the sync crit grid tile)

[valid radish]

SS Silver is with sneasel

[teal haven]

also my blue and melony dont have head start

[rare apex]

i'm only hitting a little under 1.1m with that comp

[teal haven]

from what I can tell its getting one more sync in, and them being crits, which comes down to lucky skills and luck

[cloud timber]

quite a bit longer than that

[teal haven]

ignoring stuff like super good gear

[cloud timber]

next reset is aug 4 and bug single is aug 6

[rose basalt]

oof i misread that as aug 4

[thin wren]

so optimal comp for solo bug should be chase melony right?

chase was tied with 2 others last time but sing spam wasn't common back then

pretty sure he's the quickest one at paraing among those 3

[pallid girder]

SS Hilbert is an Unova, so NC Rosa > Melony prob?

[thin wren]

Master passive only affects dps tho

plus with chase there should be enough gauge

[pallid girder]

Yes but it does matter when you don't have time to rush another sync and have to do 1~2 DPS in the end.

[thin wren]

rosa means 1 less sync tho

remember, if you want rosa's support buff as well you are gonna have to click her b move after syncing with her

which means 1 less sync

[pallid girder]

Maybe Rosa doesn't sync at all? I actually don't have Rosa so I don't the difference between her and Melony.

[teal haven]

not to brag or anything, but I have base viola 3m club here I come

[thin wren]

you lose a sync buff then and lose more damage

[teal haven]

also master pair effect

[icy pendant]

the sync buff definitely adds up, if your team has the gauge for Melony then you should be losing her

master passive only impacting a singular move isn’t worth it

[teal haven]

if its a tiebreaker tho

by the nature of tie breakers

[icy pendant]

oh it’s not going to be

[pallid girder]

It's kinda funny to think that MF is worse than a general pool unit even tho it's just niche use in a niche mode lol.

[teal haven]

how is melony better though? she has lower speed and less helpful other moves/skills

[icy pendant]

Melony can support EX safely, Rosa cannot

[thin wren]

it's not, melony's sync buff is the tie breaker

[thin wren]

you don't click the other moves/skills

chase compensates the gauge

so speed is not an issue

mf passive only applies to one attack

sync buff applies to the syncs as well

[teal haven]

how is her sync buff any different? they're both support

[icy pendant]

Speed has never been an issue to the point where you could get an extra sync move with Rosa, Melony teams still hit 7 syncs and that is the Rosa standard anyways

[icy pendant]

Rosa cannot sing spam after sync because of form change

B move takes about 15 seconds to finish which loses you a sync buff

[teal haven]

oh shit thats right I forgot about the form change bs

[thin wren]

if you sync with her she has extra animations and then form changes so you can't click sing until you click her long sync again

[teal haven]

back in my day pokemon didn't have form changing abilities, it was just intimidate or whatever *shakes cane at clouds*

[thin wren]

back in my day enemy syncs resetted our stats

I do not miss those days

[teal haven]

back in my day we used these weird microphone things to raise stats

[pallid girder]

Errr technically form changing is from day 1, Aegislash can change between Shield Forme and Blade Forme.

[teal haven]

I was talking about pokemon in general, but that too ig

[copper otter]

@weak copper

[smoky patio]

I would like to thank the discord for the method

[covert geyser]

W

very good score

[sullen zephyr]

I'm gonna get kicked out of top 100 at this rate

[icy scroll]

Which is better for DC?

[civic island]

CS2 by far

Superduper is going to boost moves only

[icy scroll]

Okay got it! Thankyou

And also which grid is better for Karen?

[true locust]

2 for me better

[safe prawn]

SE1 is trash cs2 always better

[plush palm]

the only real options here are superpowered 3 and CS2

[safe prawn]

Super powered 3 best of all

[plush palm]

and adrenaline / head start on supports

[true locust]

And better use melony not elesa

Since corlles para all and they dont move fast and melony sing spam

[icy scroll]

I will use Redlax and NC Rosa

[plush palm]

unless youre using melony ofc who wants troublemaker

Idk about rosa

[true locust]

You can use lax for para blue yes and his tmp for karen

[icy scroll]

I don't have melony

[true locust]

Then you need sync whit rosa and insta come back from it for sing spam

[icy scroll]

You mean second grid right?

[true locust]

Yes

[icy scroll]

[true locust]

You dont need boost moves you sync spam sing

[icy scroll]

Yeah I will do that!

Okay thankyou all!

[clever wasp]

Which gear should I use akari's feather for?

[thin wren]

has anyone gotten 1 mil with halloweenbert?

I only got him to 700k so far

[crude sandal]

[tiny mist]

Next one is single bug 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 That will be awesome

i dont think i will even cross 200k in that

[cunning rock]

Our F2P Bug Tech is Viola and her nuke requires Trap and that adds time

Even SC Ingo has the same nuke condition

Our best option is likely going to be SS Hilbert

[slender venture]

Pretty sure Guzma has better nuke than Viola for f2p

[crude sandal]

H. Viola supremacy

[slender venture]

Viola has no attack stats

[warped gulch]

• f2p: Guzma
• limited: SS Hilbert
  Well that is the same as 3vs3

[cunning rock]

Guzma's First Impression just turns off even if you sync right?

[warped gulch]

If you don’t use any move or Tm, you still can use it after Sync

[crude sandal]

It'd be a waste of his Initial Propulsion 2 on it thk

[warped gulch]

At least for f2p we have better team now

[crude sandal]

3v3 steel, and still no sign of tech EXR Glora

[tiny mist]

Oh yeah my best steel is MC solgaleo for 3v3

Hope anni has a good steel type

mega Aggron 🤣

[sacred badger]

or, you pray for EXR for Steven/Cynthia/Lance

[tiny mist]

i have none of these

[vagrant ivy]

same

[sacred badger]

i think a few people with Grimsley for nuking wouldd hit 1m with just Redlax and Colress. maybe.

[tiny mist]

yeah i guess

[cunning rock]

Yeah, I would use my Pal Marnie if I have to for 3v3

[sacred badger]

hmm forr me, Solgaleo + SC Selene

[cunning rock]

Solgaleo only has Haymaker for sync damage, which is easy but needs +1 Crit if you have expanded grid + spam it twice

[sacred badger]

Steven can sure crit, just gonna have that TM refresh.

[cunning rock]

ST steel is gonna be so funny, Colress

[sacred badger]

actually, MAYBE you can do colress here o.o

[cunning rock]

Fun fact, Colress has a tile that does -2 acc every time he syncs and its AOE. F2Ps are gonna be eating good for ST Steel

He can't grab all of his nuking tiles that way tho.

[sacred badger]

hrrm its quite a nuke package 😮

[crude sandal]

DeNA should implement Piercing Gaze and Status Immunity next set of DC events

[sacred badger]

his smokescreen nuke sshould only really need -1 acc Hmm.

oh wait

nevermind i thought it was a sync modifier

[cunning rock]

Just swap TWave MGR for Go Viral since it's 3v3 and then you can grab an extra nuke tile but you need +9 sync expand

[rain copper]

Grimsley has better sync nuke, but Colress' nuke is higher if you have Redlax + SC Selene

[sacred badger]

max70 for colress/

[rain copper]

the Internet Exploxer dude has 0 self buffs

wait nvm i forgot about Colress' innate
truly

[crude sandal]

Are we talking about 3v1 or 3v3?

[rain copper]

both i think

[sacred badger]

hm. yeah i think i'm going to try Solgaleo and then Steven for later

[cunning rock]

Colress MIGHT be better than Grimsley if you get enough dodges from his accuracy drops to weave another sync in

But Colress really needs the buffing help

Hilbert could cover everything he needs tho.

[thin wren]

*700k

I suck at typing

[icy scroll]

Okay I will take it!

Maybe I can try with charging infliction on NC Rosa, for Sync Power Flux on Karen!

But nah it will drop my score I guess!

[fluid anvil]

oh wow Steven Metagross is likely going to be my best choise for 3v3 Steel TT
at least he can ensure some sync crits

[vernal condor]

solgaleo erasure

[thin wren]

isn't solgal unironically better

[fluid anvil]

I dont think so. Metagross has more sync multipliers, higher Atk, sync crits and this:
Sync Defense ↓ All 2
Lowers the Defense of all opposing sync pairs by 2 stat rank(s) after using the user’s sync move.

only the sync BP is lower

[pallid girder]

Ig HViola might have the chance to hit 1M with 2.7x sync multiplier + zone + 1.5x tech sync, but her setup is indeed problematic (Power Play).

[thin wren]

She can para right?

who looks to be the strongest unit for steel aoe

[rain copper]

She can para and confuse at the same time

[fiery rose]

fuck me running I can't scrape this last 70k with cmarnie

I'm at 930k and I wanna get this to 1m so I don't have to think about it again

[ivory kestrel]

Should be Rose

[fiery rose]

ok so how the fuck does this sleep shit work

because it doesn't seem to

[pallid girder]

I was gonna reply "don't Metagross and Solgaleo both only have Haymaker?" then I realized Metagross got Tough Sync 3 upon expansion

[fiery rose]

yeah idk how this shit works

the sleep just doesn't seem to speed anything up

[sacred flower]

really hope Solgaleo is enough for 1m, I don't even want to think about single
seriously, single DC sucks

single should get a 1.5 point boost

[pallid girder]

You sleep the opponents? The sing/dark void spam is the same as twave/sspore spam. You para the opponents first and spam a failed move with (almost) 0 animation.

[fiery rose]

except sleep dissipates in about 3 seconds

so you get the anim every third move or so

[sacred flower]

no, you always paralyze them first and just spam sing to have it fail

[fiery rose]

Oh lmao

better grid HE on red then

[vernal condor]

single is kimono grimsley

[sacred flower]

I don't feel it much different than the normal Barry/Colress strat but that's just me

[vernal condor]

he's very powerful he should get 1M

or colress

[sacred flower]

I intend to go Colress if single anyways

but he doesn't self buff well

so maybe Grimsley

[pallid girder]

I hope Summer Tate's passive dmg outdo its time loss :/

[normal parcel]

Finally I got 2m with Marnie

[fiery rose]

there we go, finally

1m done

AoE Dark joins AoE Dragon and AoE Ghost in the "never touching this again" pile

[normal parcel]

Who is on top now? Marnie + Cyrus, or Akari?

However I predicted right that it wouldn't have been undisputed Akari domination and that Marnie wouldn't have been much behind (by herself)

[fiery rose]

bug ST on tuesday
...Oh no.

[normal parcel]

Guess I have to use my candies

[fiery rose]

same

[normal parcel]

Theres no way I can get 1m without 3/5 SS Hilbert

[fiery rose]

1/5 ss hilbert ain't gonna do much here I don't think

even exr

[golden tiger]

yeah i was lucky enough to get an SpDef drop on Cmarnie early on so she dropped to below 33% HP towards the end

[normal parcel]

Doubt guzma can do it

Does the Cyrus clear make use of Marnie b moves to recharge gauge for Cyrus?

[misty forge]

No

[normal parcel]

Can really Cyrus sustain spamming 2 gauge dark void without Marnie using b move?

I guess the debuffing animation helps with gauge

However I'm fine with my NC Marnie, NC blue, melony 2m

Don't have Cyrus, and probably is also an RNG heavy clear

[rain copper]

Well Marnie always uses B Move in every sync cycle

[copper otter]

People are sleeping on the best bug type.

Bugsy smh.

[pallid girder]

Eva gaming time!

[normal parcel]

So she does, I thought it may have been necessary to use b moves to help Cyrus regenerate gauges

[icy scroll]

You should specify Scyther too!

[normal parcel]

Wondering if fury cutter DPS, may be te f2p way

Fury cutter should be quite fast and spammable

[crude sandal]

And then it misses

[normal parcel]

Nolan has accurate fury cutter

Too bad syncing resets fury cutter

[crude sandal]

I mean, you get 6 uses of it at full multiplier

Not 6, 5 uses

[normal parcel]

Isn't the 4th fury cutter already at full power?

However Guzma sync is still better than nolan one

[cloud timber]

you do run out of gauge if you spam only dark void yes, that happened in my run

just slows you down a little bit

[normal parcel]

Yes because I tried it with melony and I noticed that her b move can help refilling gauge while also needing one less sing, so I assume with Darkrai an use of Marnie b move should basically refill the whole gauge

[normal parcel]

Isn't just better use the b move at least once then?

[cloud timber]

my team was ss cyrus/nc blue/i forgot but not marnie

redlax

[golden tiger]

i candied my SS hilbert recently

as a matter of fact i just 5/5d it

[cloud timber]

always feels great to have ss hilbert

mvp frfr

[golden tiger]

rebuff utility is nuts

[fiery rose]

I have him 1/5 exr

he's just tedious

your first sync with him is either at +3 spatk or he has another someone buffing him

and you need to minimise spdef on top

or you waste a SEUN which leaves you banking on redlax getting mpr

[golden tiger]

I'm used to banking on relax already

so

[copper otter]

Never forget the day where they announced that SS Hilbert would be massively buffed just because of a description mistake

[golden tiger]

I am old, when was that agai

n

[copper otter]

2022

[golden tiger]

what month?

[copper otter]

November announced, december, implemented

It was during unova VA

[golden tiger]

Hm makes sense why I don't remember now, I didn't even have him at that time

(only reason why mine is even 5/5 now is I've used 4 tech candies on him in the past 2 months 💀)

[copper otter]

DeNa: here's ssHilbert, the unit that can rebuff enemies the first time they get hit.

Player: wait, why can we only do this to one opponent?

DeNa:.... wait, we meant the first time the MOVE IS used.... uhhhhhh. Ah screw it, we'll do as the description states

Ss hilbert can now rebuff every opponent the first time they get hit.

[golden tiger]

good one 😂

thanks dena!

[crude sandal]

And then DeNA reverts it back to only activating once

And only works on one enemy

[copper otter]

Nope, never did for the past 2 years

[golden tiger]

but the unit now gives a x10 type rebuff (break the limits)

[copper otter]

He is still able to rebuff everyone

[crude sandal]

I was doing sarcasm, but ok

[copper otter]

Imagine sarcasm without italics

[golden tiger]

Cough a little next time

[crude sandal]

So strikethrough isn't enough for you, huh?

[golden tiger]

How about Strike Throughout

[fluid anvil]

Such a nice grid for 3v1 Steel sync nuking

[vernal condor]

Nah it's not optimal

[fluid anvil]

Why not?

[vernal condor]

With team sentry you have max towering force with only your TM

[fluid anvil]

1. isnt TWave MGR bad? its extra animation time
2. you are missing 1 purple sync tile
3. you will need to use OG Hilbert anyway for full Attack & Crit buffs, and he can do +2Def .. no need for sentry entry 2

[vernal condor]

1. only activates if the move is successful, so once at worst
2. ok true mb
3. SC Selene

[fluid anvil]

"SC Selene" no one has that

[vernal condor]

Actually you can just go +8E

[vernal condor]

Hi Im no one

[rain copper]

What if i don't have SC Selene

[vernal condor]

You die

[safe prawn]

What’s all this will of giving 100K orbs to colress

Are you rich?

[vernal condor]

Just 80k

[safe prawn]

A rich fallen in poverty?

[fluid anvil]

I have over 600K orbs after spending a lot already

and I buy 100K every month in rally shop

[safe prawn]

Can I borrow some unused orbs?

I might need them for a couple of ranked events, imma give them later

[vernal condor]

Im doing fine

[fluid anvil]

I'll probably use Colress - Hilbert - Redlax/Steven for 3v1
Redlax gives you 2 Supp syncs, but Steven gives rebuff...

[sullen zephyr]

Rebuff feels like it's better

[vernal condor]

How about Melony

[true locust]

Good amount

[safe prawn]

You are not gonna need another rebuff tbh

[safe prawn]

So much richness over here

[thin wren]

why does her para have to also do confusion. That lowers her sync spam potential

[vernal condor]

her sync has para

[sullen zephyr]

Why is confusion bad?

[vernal condor]

because it wastes time

[fluid anvil]

what does that mean?

[sullen zephyr]

How? It doesn't show up before every move like in mainline, and it can deny moves

[vernal condor]

it does lol

[safe prawn]

1 rebuff 30 %
2 rebuff 50%
3 rebuff is around 60% and Hilbert already applies a rebuff (2 if 5/5) by himself

[vernal condor]

bicio

og hilbert

[safe prawn]

Oh rip

[fluid anvil]

OG hilbert, not ss hilbert .. this was for 3v1 steel

[vernal condor]

ss does nothing for colress lmao

[safe prawn]

I was thinking about sshilbert for bug 3v1

Next challenge, my bad

[sullen zephyr]

It does? Dang i have not been paying attention

[thin wren]

she has great potential for bug st then

[true locust]

Bug nc blue ss hilbert and melony/nc rosa

The best combos

Or hilbert melony/nc rosa and lax or bug zone seter viola?

She can para and set zone

[pallid girder]

Ig HViola - SSHilbert - sing spam

[fluid anvil]

Chase/H.Viola - Melony - SS Hilbert

[safe prawn]

H viola - SSHilbert - Rosa or Melony bc Rosa has master passive up for reg move

[pallid girder]

In 3v3 the best team is SS Hilbert - BP Barry - HViola and that's when we haven't found out sing spam yet

[safe prawn]

My 1/5 Viola will have to do her thing

[lapis yarrow]

@pallid girder I followed your frog/redlax video and yet somehow come up short and the other times my timer runs out begore I can get off a 2nd sync with middle. Any advice?

[true locust]

Yeap rosa can be better unova

[thin wren]

Yes but I was wondering about the non ss Hilbert havers

[true locust]

Plus she can give sump up from tmp

[safe prawn]

ScIngo but watch out for trap

[true locust]

Non hilbert are cooked

[safe prawn]

We don’t have a lot of bug techs

F2P is guzma for sure

[pallid girder]

??? You prob tag the wrong person. I didn't do frog/redlax.

[fluid anvil]

I usually consider Melony better than Rosa (for non psychic/fighting), because hassle-free Supp EX >> master passive

[thin wren]

3/5 Hilbert should be enough for 1 mil right?

[safe prawn]

Burgh is a mess to setup

[thin wren]

no bug zone but I have Chase

[fluid anvil]

the thing is that if you use H.Viola instead of Chase/Blue - is there enough gauge?

[lapis yarrow]

my bad you're right..sorry overtired and sleep deprived lol

[safe prawn]

For 5/5 SSHilb havers, are you going for kekwalk or same setup as 3v3?

[thin wren]

does h viola have bug accel

[pallid girder]

HViola herself as main dd has the chance, but you need find the right support to max Power Play

[thin wren]

*bug zone gauge accel

[pallid girder]

Avery did 1M in psychic 3v1, with only 2x sync multiplier x 1.5 tech sync

HViola has 2.7x sync multiplier

[fluid anvil]

no one has H.Viola at 3/5 😦

[lapis yarrow]

Will 4/5 non EXR Hilbert be ok?

[cunning rock]

He just needs 3/5 for his sync nuking tiles. 3v3 Bug is already over so EXR doesn't do much other than the extra stats

[fluid anvil]

I'm still coping that Dahlia can get 5 Mil in Water 3v3 (also because I have 4/5 Dahlia..)
Either that or Adaman gets Strike role later
Outside of these I dont see any chance for a 5Mil (maybe SS Gladion can do it for Fairy 3v3 ?)

[normal parcel]

I don't have Dahlia, but I have trouble imagining her doing 5m with interference sync 9

I know that she has rain with extension, tech innate and insane attack stat, but 5m? With interference?

I mean theoretically yes she can

[fluid anvil]

Yeah if it was like Brainpower or Brain Sync 9 - would be 5 Mil EZ I think (as long as perfect crit rng). But maybe can still work with IS9
Lucas with Strike would have been guaranteed 5 Mil, 200%
ah well

[pallid girder]

Just use unit with flinch and get it every time when she syncs. Just simple rng, right? /jk

[normal parcel]

Discharge is a bit slow

Who else can flinch?

Maybe NC silver but it summons sand at the beginning

[fluid anvil]

I think you just use her Teeter Dance as late as possible and cope for the best. No flinch
She also lowers accuracy, maybe that can help
I'll try Chase - Melony - Dahlia

[normal parcel]

I guess in 3v3 confusion should last enough

[fluid anvil]

she also has 50% of SEUN when using a move, so using TD can be good

[normal parcel]

However confusion wears off pretty fast

[normal parcel]

TD isn't super effective

And using muddy water is quite slow

[fluid anvil]

ooh so this wont work

Superduper 4
Has a chance (50%) of applying the Supereffective ↑ Next effect to the user when its move is super effective.

yeah

so at most you can get 1 SEUN on the last Muddy Water, for just 1 sync

[normal parcel]

If you have time to do so

I mean even using red tm costs time, and that has sync acceleration and just the super effective

Muddy water has the animation, it can debuff (so another animation) + superduper is another animation and isn't even an extra -1 to sync like red tm

At least muddy water contributes for damage

[true locust]

5m whit dahlia? Lol

Never happend

She can set rain one time only.

[normal parcel]

She has extension so she should be fine for rain

The main issue is that her sync multiplier is interference based

[true locust]

This extentio will run befor your 3 sync

[normal parcel]

Is extension 5 so it should be the same as field ex

[true locust]

You will get hit all time no eva

If use muddy watter it only drop time

[normal parcel]

You shouldn't use muddy water

[true locust]

Then you get hit all time

[normal parcel]

The problem is interference

[true locust]

Wat rain run out befor 3 sync

You need low special def whit dahlia

[normal parcel]

SS silver sand I remember lasted the whole Battle (second sync)

[pallid girder]

Isn't it better to do 3 Muddy Water to -6 spdef anyway?

[true locust]

This way too problematic unit set up

[normal parcel]

Dahlia should sync 3rd

How much did renegade Cynthia scored?

[pallid girder]

4.08M

[fluid anvil]

extension 5 WZT (same as field EX) can easily last for ~4 syncs here - it was like that on my Akari team
Even with Colress spam (which is slower than sing) - I had dark zone to the end

[normal parcel]

Don't know if dalhia can beat her, yes Cynthia is harder to properly setup, but at least she doesn't have to deal with interference

And she can get a super effective up next sync for every enemy sync

[fluid anvil]

Dahlia TM once, Chase SpAtk ~twice (then maybe later TM once if need), Muddy Water 3 times, 2 Supp syncs, then use TeeterDance + Dahlia max move right before 3-rd sync.
And I usually use Chase circle before 4-th sync (also lasts to the end)

I expect Dahlia to break 4M for sure, maybe 4.5M even. Of course only with perfect crit rng
5M is the question

[true locust]

O my vokzx buddy🤣

He cooked good for ghost

[glossy atlas]

Missed only one sync crit,without sp3 around 1.8m seems like the max i can get from this team with most of the moves missed, only got hit by 2 psychic

[dense citrus]

Has anyone tried EXR SsCyrus for dark stage (sync to shave dark zone application time) ? 🧐

[true locust]

I try him whit chase

This way

Around 2,8-2,9m you can do it

Depend on miss def drops

Whit extention zone no issu its up too end

[covert geyser]

did just EX, he's very good as just dark zone setter

2.9m

[normal parcel]

With Marnie?

[covert geyser]

Yes

[normal parcel]

So is Marnie actually scoring more than Akari? (However with the help of Cyrus)

[covert geyser]

Apparently so

Everyone is 3/5

[true locust]

Chase good too

[true locust]

How you have 6 special up? You fish nc blue tmp?

[covert geyser]

Yes

[normal parcel]

Blue has smun on sync

Isn't 2 + 1 + 3?

[covert geyser]

I don't use that tole

Tile

[normal parcel]

Why not?

[covert geyser]

I just fish for MPR at the end

[true locust]

Good idea but skinny and others 2 jp use diffrent play

[normal parcel]

Shouldn't be +7 then?

[true locust]

They use marnie super up from protect

[normal parcel]

Isn't Marnie +3?

[covert geyser]

Oh Rafa did that too

[golden tiger]

Hi I'm no one

[true locust]

So boost last sync or b move

[covert geyser]

But he ended up with another strat

I think

[true locust]

This is the best one but need extra orbs if want have all

Or drop soften up

[normal parcel]

SC selene is bad for aoe

[true locust]

This also more like way off play

[normal parcel]

Ah wait the steel one

[covert geyser]

Yeah I didn't have enough for soften up so I went for adrenaline instead

[normal parcel]

I tought the dark one

[true locust]

Adrenaline you can keep but not soften up

[covert geyser]

Double bad break on cyrus for more chances of dropping sp def

And pray blue misses

I got 2 full paras on that run

And like 5 misses

[true locust]

This is best set for max score

[normal parcel]

For steel triple sc selene will definitely be my choice

I don't think I have a better AOE steel nuker than her

[true locust]

Aoe we have rose

[covert geyser]

Interesting

[normal parcel]

I'm not part of we

[icy pendant]

I am also not part of we with my 1/5 Rose...

[true locust]

But you need luck whit para miss and marnie crit syncs

Its most annoing part🤣

[normal parcel]

At least you have it, I don't even have it

[true locust]

But you can use protect for last sync around 350/380k crits damage

[normal parcel]

Not that 1/5 will be that useful

[icy pendant]

wait... am I supposed to be using Raihan for steel aoe instead

[normal parcel]

I'm fine with my 2m clear as a non Cyrus haver

[icy pendant]

or is 3/5 sc selene still serviceable

[normal parcel]

I guess 3/5 SC selene should be serviceable

[unborn otter]

Are we talking exr 3/5 sc selene because I don’t have exr

[icy pendant]

for aoe yeah it has to be exr

[true locust]

Rose have good set up

[unborn otter]

Hey maybe i just candy and cake rose

[icy pendant]

solgaleo though with selene as a supporting cast is probably good

[unborn otter]

Or maybe candy ss gladion

[cunning rock]

You can wait and see how Solgaleo performs before investing.

[unborn otter]

Ok

[normal parcel]

She has field ex and 190% sync multiplier, mega tax hurts (expecially with no tech innate and no attack buff from mega) but she has 4 sync nodes (however at 3/5 I think at most you can get 3)

Definitely not as good as rose, but she's serviceable

Metallic acceleration is also pretty good for melony shenanigans

I think selene sync is comparable to rose one if you add steel zone, but rose has the aoe max move

But I think selene wants 4/5 at least to get all the sync nodes

Next is the dreaded bug st

Pretty sure it will be impossible to get 1m with f2p damage dealers

[jagged radish]

this mode makes me want to invest on gears, if i randomly throw 10k yellow feathers will i get good stuff without a pin? xD or is it impossible without pins

I've used a few hundred feathers but have found skill gear so boring... in rerolling

[feral hamlet]

How do the pins work? Are they permanent and do you lose them?

[jagged radish]

feels like throwing matches in a forest fire... thought i'd ask here instead of questions since I imagine most high scorers have actually acquired good gear?

[normal parcel]

They are permanent (but if you decide to remove it is lost)

[feral hamlet]

Oh, then I'll never use these items

[normal parcel]

Yes you can get decent skill gears with just yellow feathers, but don't expect max stat, 3 themes and 3 good damage passives

Personally I try to get +80 and +20 ones with decent themes

Then if you get a good passive is even better

There aren't much viable passives however

Best ones are sync crit, sync paralysis, sync status physical/special sync and I guess if you get the version for the moves it helps too I guess (maybe if you have a good finisher)

[jagged radish]

ty for your insight, gonna try

and yeah i have like 6 pins... but have like probably 9 sets of skill gear? so math doesn't add up... i know when i have nothing to add in training i did get yellow feathers... cause i know i was gonna do this sooner or later

[ivory kestrel]

Someone suggested to pair 5/5 SS Hilbert with P-Serena (para + speed debuffs, plus she has great speed as well) + sing spammer (Melony). SS Hilbert can lower enemy SpDef on his own

[safe prawn]

Well we can give a try

I should stop acting as if I have 5/5 sshilbert

[true locust]

Hmm i now who have him 5/5 exr🙂‍↔️

But i think h viola is better since have zone and para

[ivory kestrel]

cries in no H-Viola

[true locust]

Then can be chase and nc rosa

Whit hilbert

[safe prawn]

Or maybe the pal Serena idea if Hilbert is 5/5…..

[true locust]

Para need 1 so no need nc blue

And he have sync reduce acceleration for spam sing

And raise crit

So hilbert dont need use it

And eva up

And cirle

You set up hilbert way faster plus chase and rosa exr are sprints

Think this is if no viola best set up

[ivory kestrel]

will start with this comp outright before going back to Bug Zone (SC Ingo) and BP Barry

[true locust]

Better nc rosa

Unova

[ivory kestrel]

but... i need to sync with EX Support first, right? means i will use Rosa B move?

[true locust]

Yeap if she have exr

You can live whit it

Fish for eva up help

In game

[ivory kestrel]

i do have exr on my NC Rosa, i'll try both then

[true locust]

If rosa dont give eva reset

Its all

This buy you time

Latter in game

[jagged radish]

is upcoming bug challenge Aoe or single target?

[fluid anvil]

Melony is probably better than NC Rosa for Bug and for most types
saved time from not using B-move is better than the master passive (negligible damage)

[safe prawn]

St

3v3 already done

[jagged radish]

Damn, my SS hilbert is at 2/5, dont think ill be able to do much (cries)

[rare apex]

3/5 exr, i wonder if he can even hit 1m with that

[jagged radish]

His multipliers come at 5/5 so idk, dont think so.. if it was at 3/5 i would have candied him already

[safe prawn]

He has brainpower at 3/5 and that’s what most of us used in 3v3

[icy pendant]

I'll be cooking again with SC Barry because I really have no other choice

I feel like holiday Viola could 1m and I would candy her if it wasn't right near anni and I was hoarding candies as a result

[long silo]

Is your SC Barry 3/5? I want to see the result of it

[jagged radish]

I got Excavalier at 4/5 lol, if that ever works xD but yeah if not i might invest in SC barry, since i don't mind caking him and 3/5 him

hilbert just annoys me cause cakewalk and superslow is locked at 5/5

hopefully i can still get over 1m at least.

[icy pendant]

yep! He hit 1.4m on 3v3 with some really slow teammates so curious to see what’s going to happen with new strats

[rare apex]

may have to try nc blue/gilbert/melony

i wonder. . . .

you can drop dauntless and +5 spa in the top right to do it without energy cap increases

[pallid girder]

I don't think any bug striker at 3/5 would perform better than SS Hilbert at 3/5 tho.
3/5 SS Hilbert has innate (2x) & Brainpower (2x) & 1 rebuff (1.3x) & -6 spdef w/o outside help.

[safe prawn]

And 2 SEUN without any help required

[jagged radish]

i get it, mine is still 2/5 though xD

[ivory kestrel]

so i tried running Cakewalk SS Hilbert - Pal-Serena - Melony, it was looking great, until i was running out of gauge at the end lol. the Enemy at -6 Speed was barely able to queue an attack in a whole sync cycle, which was great, but Sing spam was burning thru my gauge quickly as well lol. Also means no gauge for Hilbert Technoblast at the end. This is with Pal-Serena boosting everyone to +4 speed

[civic island]

If gauge isn't enough there's elio

[fluid anvil]

just +4 speed without anything else is not enough for sing spam.
Even +6 speed isnt quite enough (and the less enemies attack - the worse it gets for your gauge)
You pretty much need +6 speed and and something extra like MGA or anything that boosts gauge during WZTC. Then you can spam 1 bar non-stop.
Either that or one of your pairs needs to be REALLY fast (like 450+ base speed)

The easy/lazy solution is just to replace Melony with BP Barry

[civic island]

If you're going to use bpBarry you'll likely remove pSerena

[ivory kestrel]

yeah was thinking of just going with BP Barry and replacing PSerena with someone else, then I checked my roster, who can debuff to -6 speed as quick as possible, and looks like i'm still going with PSerena

i cant go with NC Rosa coz the set-up for Cakewalk and Hilbert's Innate Tech is already too long, i cant afford to use Rosa B move and then revert back via syncing

[civic island]

Dojo Gloria got a quite fast speed debuff

And supp exr if you wanna go for 4 sync buffs

[pallid girder]

Maybe SS Silver? He -6 cd at most & have support exr.

[ivory kestrel]

ohh, Silver/Sneasel might be a good one

[ivory kestrel]

yeah, what i was thinking as well

too bad, cant afford to sink a support cake into him, but the sync accels are nice, and he just needs to drop -6 speed in 2 turns

[civic island]

Even better, he got also evasion

And bp barry has ppe so you don't have to deal w misses rng

[pallid girder]

Today is the day we farm HS1 and SP3 cookies!

[civic island]

One of the worst LG to farm those tbh

Try pushing your streak has a better outcome than autofarming

[ivory kestrel]

uggghh, Moltres and Latias on the same batch

why cant it be Latios

[civic island]

It's more how AI works, some stages are easy but on Moltres they don't always respond to sun with weather

[civic island]

Looks perfect
ST will be way slower

[pallid girder]

Is it right that in 3v1 you can generally sync 1 more time than in 3v3 bc the opponent moves less?

[civic island]

Kinda ye
Triple have 67 plus 204 on the sides
Single just 204
There's a huge difference, even more if your para is single target and you're lowering their speed

And this time enemy has Seed Bomb

[safe prawn]

No bullshit dazzling gleam?

[civic island]

Hyper voice

As 2nd

Which is a bit faster i think

[safe prawn]

It’s still funny Dena knew ppl would have to farm deluxe for the new content (dc), and threw the most obnoxious lg they have ever released

[fluid anvil]

is using a pair to max out Cakewalk actually better than just using a bug zone pair?

[cloud timber]

second most, worst is def latias/moltres/uxie

but anything with moltres would be really bad anyway

[versed shale]

For SS Hilbert, they’re both roughly 1.5x boosts. One is permanent but has a long animation, while the other needs to be recast

Viola and Ingo both lack spammy moves though, since their moves both have debuffs

[fluid anvil]

You would still be using BP Barry for para spam. And Viola has that passive that boosts paralysis proc chance by 50% ...

[safe prawn]

Imo this one is worst bc moltres latias uxie has separated gimmicks to all, this rotation there’s flinch overlap but we’ll see

[cloud timber]

bulu without flinch isn't bad at all imo

[civic island]

Same result
But speed debuff on enemy is quite nice

[restive plaza]

what are the odds of hitting a triple paralysis w/ C. Blue using Hostile Environment from his grid?

[rain copper]

45%

[restive plaza]

?? I must be doing something wrong then 💀

[long silo]

Sorry for ping as it might get lost but...

I got to 1m with 1/5 although I admit it's hard. I do like him tho so using candy to 3/5 won't be a problem. That said we'll see when ST Bug drops

[restive plaza]

is this for a single target getting paralyzed or is this really paralyzing all 3?

[cloud timber]

single target

all 3 is 9.1%

[restive plaza]

ok that sounds more realistic. still getting hella unlucky tho ig 💀

[fluid anvil]

9%

[icy pendant]

9% unless you're me, then 1%

[long silo]

My issue is more on proccing para on them 💀

Also does HE stack with Troublemaker

[cloud timber]

troublemaker only works with pure status moves

not damaging moves with status side effect

[long silo]

Oh okay

[cloud timber]

you do also have to know for certain that you actually need all 3 para'd in one turn before grinding for it

[long silo]

I just need it to increase the chance of para proc

So my next question will be, what are the chances of a para proc

[cloud timber]

discharge base is 30%, hostile environment 2 multiplies by 3 so it would be 90% on just a single target

aoe penalty for 3 divides it by 2

so 45% per target

[restive plaza]

yeah ive been doing this for like 20 minutes now and not once have I seen a triple para lmao

[long silo]

Oh wait sorry I meant what are the chances of a paralyzed foe to not move

[cloud timber]

25% normally, with lessen paralysis 8 uhhh 5%?

[long silo]

☠️

Now it makes sense

[cloud timber]

ye super unreliable in any case

[long silo]

Thanks. Now I feel a bit better knowing that lol

[feral hamlet]

Okay so how do I get 1mil with NC Marnie before the reset? I have her 2/5 EX

[icy scroll]

It's next reset don't worry!
You have more than 24 hours

[mighty spade]

just thought about it
Blue being added as a damage pair is really telling to me that this is gonna stay forever and be like a Daily Region Rotation / Trainer Lodge sorta thing

(before i thought it was gonna stay but you only get a finite amount of Damage Tickets, but now i imagine they'd refresh the rewards too come october when the first run is over)

plus idk why they'd put multiple copies otherwise

and monthly sync orbs

[icy scroll]

The pins have a document where people have posted their teams and grids along with video link!

You can check it for details!

[mossy adder]

Should I use this team or Red/Snorlax? I don't have many other options for dark types

[devout pelican]

Would suggest either Colress or BP Barry in place of DC Marnie to build sync

[pallid girder]

The dev letter last month did say it's a permanent feature and only the weakness constantly changes.

[lethal siren]

Bug single
Rip

No Genesect

Genesect havers be like : Easy

[cloud timber]

[loud cedar]

haha yeah easy…

i regret not taking my past dc’s seriously

my 3v3 bug and psyhic were below 1 mil

and i had ss steven/i couldve gotten higher with guzma

[lethal siren]

3v3 steel after bug

Selene time

[cosmic wing]

Rose with Selene setting zone I guess

[long silo]

Who is the 3rd? Barry?

[safe prawn]

3/5 Pmarnie has -3 def on entry

[cosmic wing]

True, but mine P Marnie is just 1/5 which is why I don't think I will use her

I do expect P Marnie will shine a lot in 1v3 Steel

[long silo]

Have no P Marnie lol

Idk who to actually use when we get to Steel 3v1

[unique abyss]

Guzma again...right?

[cosmic wing]

Time to candy your Hilbert

[rose basalt]

just out of curiosity would costume selene (exred) be able to get 1 mil for steel triple?

[vernal condor]

Probably

She got haymaker and zone

[rose basalt]

hmm thats all i needed tp hear

to exr

and now to throw one candy for hilbert and selene since i got a sht load of them in my bag

[cosmic wing]

I do expect Rose should be the popular choice for 3v3 Steel dc

[loud cedar]

yeah max move and can do iron heads when out of time

and tech exr

and one button self sustain

he does debuff -2 from himself

so no zapdos might hurt for sleep strats

[safe prawn]

And metallic surge 9

[vernal condor]

Oh yeah

[cosmic wing]

Yeah, 1 million should be possible with Selene. But I think Rose will get the highest damage possible

Maybe we will see 5/5 Gloria too, since she gets rebuff

[civic island]

On 1 target

They weren't nice with her like w hilbo

[safe prawn]

Selene will do way more than 1 MLN if invested

She has double full nuke multiplier and can grab up to 3 +25 nodes to make up for the nerfed mega bp

[vernal condor]

Up to 4

[civic island]

She will be similar to barry, a bit higher maybe

So probably 2M+

[safe prawn]

Where’s haymaker

[vernal condor]

Bruh I forgot

[rare apex]

i might be in a spot of bother for steel-3

[safe prawn]

Selene + solgaleo is your play

[civic island]

How abt Colress

So you can use selene Zone and Red SEnext (if you have it)
I think can do well

[nova remnant]

Super prep too and she got sync burst so she essentially has 2 SEUNs

[normal parcel]

Corless has single target sync however

I doubt that corless sync hits 3 times Harder than solgaleo

[rare apex]

colress' self buffing is doodoo too

figure it'd either be solgaleo or steven

[long silo]

Almost 2m 👀

[cunning rock]

Colress needs max atk, crit, +2 def, Hilbert can cover that at least. Plus if you ran -2 acc/sync on Colress, you'd probably get enough dodges to compensate the lack of Support/Sprint

[fluid anvil]

Colress has like 190-200% total sync multipliers, on a tech.
I can actually see him doing more than Solgaleo-Haymaker even on 3v3
In fact I dont think Solgaleo can even reach 1M
Morty wasnt much over 1M in ghost 3v3 and he had 2x 100% multipliers

[rare apex]

true enough. plus hilbert can give himself evasion to facilitate eva strats

[normal parcel]

Isn't solgaleo just better? Mega sync with just the standard sync nodes is kinda rough, and his only multiplier is haymaker, so I guess maybe at 4/5 can be decent because of the defense debuffs with the syncs, but considering solgaleo is free 5/5 while Steven is a pokefair

[rare apex]

steven got tough sync 3 as well

[normal parcel]

Ah yes, it was the 2/5 extra node, but still I don't think is enough to patch that mega bp

[fluid anvil]

Steven has tough sycn 3, a lot higher Atk stat and he can ensure several sync crits. I'll use him over Solgaleo, though my Steven is 5/5 since 2020

[normal parcel]

Plus solgaleo is more self sufficient

[normal parcel]

However isn't soften up or build up, using tm wastes time

[fluid anvil]

oh yeah and the -2 def on sync at 5/5. I'm pretty sure he will do more than Solgaleo, at least at 5/5

[normal parcel]

Not sure, it need external help to buff

[fluid anvil]

but Steven will also struggle to hit 1M, or do it only barely

[normal parcel]

I guess he can go melony red if you want to fish for tm mpr

[fluid anvil]

steven can do +6 Atk (with 1 MPR) and then just keep giving himself sync crits (also with TM MPR)

[normal parcel]

But you want a lot of MPR, and a lot of buffing animations

I guess it will just be better to max knuckle and fish for red MPR instead

[fluid anvil]

Sure, but its still bette than Solgaleo IMO. The Atk stat difference is substantial too. And TMs dont really use THAT much time
also I dont ever want to reset for sync crits in 3v3, thats hell

[normal parcel]

Yes I guess the sure crit tm may give him an edge, if it doesn't costs you an extra sync

Overall sync damage should be quite similar between 5/5 Steven and solgaleo

[fluid anvil]

Redlax + BP Barry should give you 6 total syncs comfortably IMO
so you only need:
1 Red TM MPR (if you use the replenish max move) + 1 Steven XAtk MPR + 2 Steven TM MPRs, to ensure all crits .. doable

also red will max out stevena crit anyway, so even if you miss a TM MPR - you can just get 1 normal 80% sync crit

[normal parcel]

However I don't expect much difference between 5/5 Steven and solgaleo

3/5 will just be inferior I guess

Maybe a bit kore reliable

However I think the true battle will be between 5/5 Gloria and Rose

Gloria is kinda like Steven, she has sure crit tm, but at 5/5 it gives seun too and also sync accelleration

[lethal siren]

Oh wait
Colress can shine in single steel dc

[normal parcel]

In st corless will be great

[pallid girder]

Still afraid 3/5 SS Hilbert would struggle to hit 1M.
He can definitely do it but I'm afraid it'd require really good rng like the Courtney run.

[normal parcel]

If 3/5 SS Hilbert can't who can? (Except 5/5 SS Hilbert)?

[fluid anvil]

3/5 SS Hilbert should easily get 1M in Bug 3v1 wtf? why wouldnt he
you even have SEUN on the TM

[rare apex]

confident in this grid for it

[pallid girder]

Well slow setup and crit rng?

[rare apex]

no nc blue?

[fluid anvil]

crit rng is fine for 3v1

[rare apex]

gilbert's teammates will be blue and melony on my end

[normal parcel]

For 3/5 blue and melony are great

[rare apex]

ye

• gilbert has exr for a little extra push in the form of 40 spa

[normal parcel]

With blue it only needs to use metal sound twice (unless they use x spdef)

[pallid girder]

He needs 5 turns to setup even w NC Blue.
Spdef drop *3 + bug rebuff + 1 TM to get SEUN

[normal parcel]

Sdef drop X2 and bug rebuff

The tm is kinda like using SC steven

3/5 NC blue drops def and spdef by 2

[pallid girder]

Oh I forget NC Blue has that

[normal parcel]

Unless they play dirty on him and they have x sp def

[pallid girder]

I just check and it uses x speed. The other moves are seed bomb and hyper voice so we're also safe from random debuffs eat time.
Yes it's prob not as scary as I think.

[nova remnant]

This is torturous without that soften up lmao

Ah well probably highest I'm trying with a 3/5 Akari

Could've probably gotten a comfy 1.750m if I had not missed a crit on Gengar

[scenic grotto]

I wonder if 2/5 SS Hilbert can get 1M on bug single

[long silo]

This won't happen that often so feels good

[rare apex]

wow that's way higher than mine, how are you getting those numbers? i have akari 3/5 too

[nova remnant]

i followed skinny's video

[rare apex]

👍 will give it a peek after i finish at the gym, my team comp is the same too but i'm just getting under 1.1m

[long silo]

NC Blue Sync > Melony Sync > Akari Sync x5

[nova remnant]

2 support syncs, 3/5 NC Blue with the -2 def debuff after sync, and just sing spam

[rare apex]

i see, forgot to give blue that node

[long silo]

If neither Blue nor Melony has HS/Adrenaline, then you might be one sync short for Akari, but that should be enough to 1m

[nova remnant]

Yukure i'm guessing your Akari is 4/5 above?

[long silo]

5/5

[nova remnant]

figures haha

[long silo]

Her relevant nodes needed +10 lol

[nova remnant]

i should 5/5 her at some point really big samurott fan after all

[long silo]

Yep you should

[nova remnant]

i'll probably wait until anni update, if they don't have any fields i might just use em since my candies has just been collecting dust

[rare apex]

got them on both thankfully

[long silo]

Then it should be no problem

[rare apex]

i presume akari just has a plain ole nuke grid

[long silo]

Yep

[craggy pond]

oh wow ok this is even better than my red and barry run i might give this a try

I've already run blue + melony duo for ranked DC but i thought SEUN would edge the red comp up

(tried red + melony but the gauge was a little too demanding)

[long silo]

Glad we got all these options for Ranked

[long silo]

Ye would almost need Speedy Entry on both

[craggy pond]

they got decently far though, it was late game when they started running out, which was a pleasant surprise

so i could see a speedy entry strat being possibly feasible

especially if you used them with a speedy damage dealer/nuker

[long silo]

That's what skinny used for the 1m Cyrus run

[craggy pond]

ooh right i see!

it's really fun to see the meta form and evolve yeah

[long silo]

Until it goes back to the electric trio

[craggy pond]

and i do wonder if Dena will eventually end up releasing pairs that are specifically good at DC ramping haha

but the evolving nature of status fail spam is pretty fun

ah yes: sprint masterfair pikachu

fuel economy 2 aoe thunderwave with propulsion 4 or something (but it works even on move fail)

[long silo]

DC Blue almost made it lol

[craggy pond]

yeah XD

using the DC to beat the DC

[long silo]

Idk if they were just teasing us

[craggy pond]

yeah this node is just funny XD

attack move successful only....

50% would've been faster too probably since you only proc the passive half the time which is enough to sustain gauge

[long silo]

Oh wait that's his actual node? Lmao

[craggy pond]

alas it was not to be

funnily enough SS Nemona has infliction freebie 9 but she only has limited status moves

[thin wren]

ss Hilbert time tmrw

[craggy pond]

who's going to do more though my 1/5 SSHilbert or is it guzma time again

[thin wren]

so close

[thin wren]

is Hilbert ex

[craggy pond]

me having most of the limited bug damage dealers (Alder, SS Hilbert, SC Barry, SC Emmet) yet still running Guzma on aoe because 1/5 moment

EX and EXR

[rare apex]

worst bit of rng for this outside of sync crits is paralysing all three with one discharge

[long silo]

Only really needed to paralyze the middle, altho I make sure they also flinch lol

Also grats on the clear

[rare apex]

further slowing down their gauge and the opportunity for para fails helps too methinks

but if it works it works

[feral hamlet]

How does NC Blue help here?

[long silo]

Paralyze + Spd Up

Then spam sing with Melony

Plus Support Sync for both

[civic island]

On paper he does considering allows slotting both SEnext supp and steel zone since he's the one spamming TW
But he's also a slow spammer and that sucks

[long silo]

If anyone gets a good result with Colress here, he may be the one I'd use on 3v1 Steel

[fluid anvil]

Have no doubt I will get well over 1M with Colress for 3v1 Steel, probably close to 1.5M

[rare apex]

i was planning on using colress for 3v1 steel yeah

either him or kimsley who i forget i have

[fluid anvil]

for Electric 3v1 - is there any realistic way to debuff speed for Cakewalk ?
you have SST red + NC Blue + Melony, but no slot left to debuff speed
and there's no way you're using SST reds b-move 6 times

[unborn otter]

How are my steel and fairy types for dc?

[nova remnant]

Turns out I'm getting another field candy pretty soon
5/5 Akari time

[fluid anvil]

We can do better with 5/5 Akari (this is with some status sync damage gears though)

[long silo]

Yeah gear difference is the limit

Skill gear in theory could have been good but the pins are so gross

[sullen zephyr]

I'd say pretty gud

[nova remnant]

That's the thing the gear pins grind which is

I'm mostly doing with some pre made gears you get from event

[normal parcel]

His nuke is at 3/5 so I'm pretty sure he can't

[nova remnant]

I did get a pretty good status cond and dark zone gear but that's about it

But I got my 2mil with favorite so that's just about enough for me

[unborn otter]

I’m on the fence between candying rose or ss gladion

[normal parcel]

I mean Hilbert nuke starts at 3/5, but his full nuke is at 5/5, 2/5 just adds basically nothing

[normal parcel]

If you plan to get nemona, she should be better

[unborn otter]

I’m sure I’ll fall to urges

[fluid anvil]

I'm not so sure SS Nemona is better than SS Gladion

[normal parcel]

Gladion has better finisher I guess, nemona has better nuke i think

[unique abyss]

20 golden LC so far from the LG, no HS1 or Adrenaline for Melony

[sullen zephyr]

The coming steel DC is triple and your 3/5 selene might easily clear 1M with that (maybe, i don't have her)

[unborn otter]

Selene may be 3/5 but she doesn’t have strike exr atm

[sullen zephyr]

Nemona arrives midway through fairy weak rotation

[unborn otter]

Idk about getting ss nemona

Maybe if i whale

[sullen zephyr]

Ye she's not a must have when you have ss gladion

She overlaps so much with ss gladion tho. Dena why did you design her like that

[rain copper]

She is not a must have even if you don't have Gladion

Well aside from being MF Fairy strike they have very different niches

[sullen zephyr]

Same ex role too

Oh she has circle

[fluid anvil]

her circle has no extension and its tied to the same move that sets sun (which ALSO has no extension). Thats gonna be jank

[civic island]

If you have either ssGladion or nyLisia you can skip easily

[sullen zephyr]

1.9× nuke vs gladion's 1.3× nuke

[rare apex]

me with neither

[unborn otter]

What would the best team be for 3/5 no exr sc selene and solgaleo?

[civic island]

There's also her custom ls

Btw her offensive stats are more balanced

[vagrant ivy]

will poppy do anything this DC

it's either her or gloria

[sullen zephyr]

Wdym balanced? It's lower than glad's

[civic island]

Yeah, imagine her mulyipliers with 500 atk

[wise dune]

I suspect her and Elio + Selene are some sort of rehash of half anni's pairs, as if they wanted to profit from those that couldn't afford Silver/Gladion at the time or joined later

[wise dune]

Nemona's sync condition being linked to her Circle in specific is way more gated than Gladion's conditions though

I wonder if she'll have enough liberty within 2-3 circle applications

[unborn otter]

How would 3/5 exr nc silver do in 3v1 rock?

[last stream]

https://youtu.be/4KKqppd7cZc?t=86

[unborn otter]

I mean single target dc

3v1 is so much easier to type

[last stream]

Oh DC?

shoulda guessed 😛

[scenic grotto]

Without EXing or candying any units I assume my best option for tomorrow 3v1 Bug is Guzma

[unborn otter]

Grimsley?

[last stream]

Silver's multipliers are tied to sand and circle. I'm guessing Sand wouldn't be up setting up 4 suppEX buffs.
I'd rather use the new Selene or ssDiantha, considering the other rock strikers also have lower bp since most of them mega.

[scenic grotto]

Meant Guzma, sorry
they both begin with G and have a M in their names

[unborn otter]

Is exr important for ss diantha

I caked ss lyra today

[last stream]

It's Diantha's best role.

[unborn otter]

I’m due for a strike, tech, and support candy

I mean important for 1m clear in single target

[last stream]

Maybe check the calculator.
ssHilbert has access to innate and +rebuff despite not being ex, might be higher.

[unborn otter]

Pray be mpr

[last stream]

it's a good cake for her in any game mode

[unborn otter]

Next month i’ll cake her. For sure

[last stream]

she should be highest for single target rock

[fluid anvil]

[scenic grotto]

Right, would be nice to get around 900k without spending a candy on SS Hilbert
Mainly because I got 2/5 SS Hilbert when not intentionally aiming for him so I have a gut feeling that I might get another SS Hilbert dupe from the free 100 pulls X)

[dry whale]

That's how I got all 3 of mine. Wanted Victini ended up with 3/5 SS Hilbert and 1/5 SSN and eventually forced to pity the Victini.

Never got around to using 2 candies on it

[scenic grotto]

I know the feeling
Wanted Ingo
Got 3 Redlax for 3/5
Had to pity pull Ingo

[unborn otter]

So there was a banner with redlax, ingo, and diantha. I got 3 dianthas and had to pity ingo

[scenic grotto]

Too bad you got the worst of the three options ^^;

[acoustic heath]

Is the next challenge rock?

[copper otter]

Bug ST

next week is Rock ST

[acoustic heath]

My only decent bug is Herbert

He just a 1 star

[copper otter]

1/5*

also, Guzma is decent still

[last stream]

Finally scored over 2 million… too bad that first discharge didn’t flinch

[icy pendant]

marnie haver?

[safe prawn]

He smells more like an akari haver

[fluid anvil]

Skinny is still #1 for Dark 3v3

[feral hamlet]

There, I'm calling it here. I can never do what they do. I accept that.

[humble lagoon]

what type is next?

[rain copper]

single Bug

the full schedule is always pinned here

[humble lagoon]

thanks

finally got a good chance to see how my recent Alder would fair

[sacred badger]

alder 1/5? 😮

[humble lagoon]

yep

[real wind]

Preparations are set

[icy pendant]

your best options are probably cutting cyruss from the team then

or could always try redlax as the third and see how cyruss's spam is

I don't think it's going to be spectacular though due to the extra dark damage taking up time

[rotund sierra]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[rain copper]

with Redlax, Cyrus has no gauge to spam moves

[icy pendant]

copy any of the solo marnie dps comps if you cut cyrus

[rotund sierra]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[icy pendant]

zone gives just as much damage as seun does

[icy scroll]

Use Redlax for SEUN

[icy pendant]

the downside of cyrus is he really can't sleep spam, and doesn't provide a status to facilitate sleep spam

[rotund sierra]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[icy scroll]

Try to paralyse using Redlax body slam, then spam sing with melony, or NC Rosa

[icy pendant]

2/5 melony still gives you all of her accuracy tiles which is all you need

[rotund sierra]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[icy pendant]

melony can sync to provide a support ex, rosa cannot

if melony is not ex, use rosa for the extra speed

[loud cedar]

guzma or viola in bug st

[rotund sierra]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[icy pendant]

yep handily

also the smun isn't real for more than one move you aren't clicking relic song ever

[icy scroll]

I would say don't use NC Rosa's any other move!

[rotund sierra]

[icy scroll]

Other than sing spam

[rain copper]

you better watch the recorded clear

[icy pendant]

yeah watch a clear, I am not a marnie expert since I don't have her yet

[chilly prawn]

Late to the party on this one, just did a test run, should I do more runs or just leave this

[icy pendant]

you can go higher but you're under no obligation to

[chilly prawn]

6 tickets or so more?

[icy pendant]

I think so

Crazy how your "test run" is double my best after days of several attempts. That 3/5 difference...

[icy scroll]

Yup!

Paralyse before sing

And try to sync with Red!

[sacred badger]

the desperation Gladion :<

[cunning rock]

I'm hoping that my 1/5 SS Hilbert is enough

[limber kettle]

What’s the best team for this one?

[long silo]

1/5 Holiday Viola

[limber kettle]

? It’s dark weak

[long silo]

SS Hilbert easy

Oh wait sorry we meant the next one on reset lol

Uhhh

[cunning rock]

NC Marnie so far

[long silo]

Yep her

[limber kettle]

I just tried her but only got like 74k

She’s at 3/5 too

[long silo]

Check the pins on how people did the clears

[cunning rock]

Just sync rush and then use her B move at the last second

[limber kettle]

Do you b move after each sync

[rain copper]

it's better use her B Move every sync cycle

[limber kettle]

Ok

[real wind]

As much I wanna try an attempt on a non tech bug unit, I'll probably give Gladion a try since I rarely see him for players in DC

Also here are my other options (Just Fantastique)

[sacred badger]

holiday viola tech exr?

oh she has Soften up

[feral hamlet]

DeNA: everyone already has a tech bug unit: Gladion

[sacred badger]

got sC Steven? :o?

[real wind]

No... (No Larry as Substitute as well)

[limber kettle]

I’ll take it lmao

[limber kettle]

[real wind]

The Main team I have here is somewhat I'm not confident-ish despite EXR 3/5 Xmas Viola (tho I'll different Variations from other players here)

[hybrid lagoon]

ST bug DC today

Guzma gaming

[nova remnant]

Who here would be crazy enough to try SC Ingo and his shitty trap set up

[sullen zephyr]

Goodbye top 100. It was fun while it lasted.
