Not touching Nate’s Tm

Until the end
His Tm when already gives free move has fast animation so use it at the end to stack PMUN is way better
I guess depends on teammates and to your RNG propension, Lucas has more score potential but is much more RNG reliant, Nate can peak less, but his clear doesn't involve much RNG, however for Nate exr is really important
Latest score, video is uploading
First try
how many syncs total is this?
Here is the Video @fluid anvil @normal parcel @vernal condor @civic island
I ended up swapping Headstart from Colress to speedy entry 2
Are we getting more ranked challenges soon?
Yes
- MT Fairy, no rule, against Arc Cynthia
- MT Ground, neft SpA, against Arc Steven
- ST Dragon, no Status, against Arc Lance
Oh boy more ST Dragon, ok ty lol
It’s one where we only need to total 1m for maximum rewards?
Yes
ok, so its 5 syncs = 6 sync buffs
does the ranked DC start on the 30-th ?
I looked and noticed this as well. Sort of stupid oversight on DeNA's part
klara released after poison dc
Not this time around scroll up a bit, look at the vid, there no infliction freebie , so 2/5 can work with this fight.
Both headstart and speedy entry 2 work.
Paranoid that this needs 5/5 wally 
5/5 wally dc lol? Hudge wally fan
oh. does this mean we're getting a Pasio theme skill at last?
yes
woo yeah
but also wow 5/5 DC Wally dang
Nah it's a mistake
i'll probably be 5/5ing my DC Wally whenever there's a new DC char i'm not interested in getting
3/5 Wally I forgot to change it
Building wally up now
Was originally going to try first with Lucas. But I checked my gears, i had better gear skills for NC Nate. Also tried this comp without running a para unit, so sort of a pseudo sing spam
Is Champion Iris too slow for this?
Like she has a ridiculous nuke I’m just not really sure if it’s taking way too long to set up or what
She has horrible setup
needs 18 debuffs, need max attack and crit, and worst of all, Needs Draogn Zone and SEUP
simply refresh tm twice 
thrice
I’ll just use Zerena and get whatever she can manage lol
how many syncs can you get with lucas and dialga? currently i can get 2 support syncs followed by 5 from lucas
can you do better?
my best score with dialga, bluedos and melony is 1.2m with i think 3 SUEN procs and 2 missed crits
Ok now I'm satisfied.
I take that back, I just noticed I had the wrong skill gear on.
Pomatools has updated
boy, for ST Dragon DC, given I only have SS SErena and 1/5 Lucas as my limited dragon units... I know the score will be low, but what would be the best team? NC Blue/Melony and one of them?
Ik it’s not what I have there^
Somehow 1M feels like* a nightmare to get so ill stick to that /o the more time pass the more i dislike this mode xD
DC wally can 1 mil
You"ll need sc steven, but he can 1 mil
Nvm i spoke too fast 
quick dirty calcs gave me funny Cynthia numbers. Presuming NC blue + melony and TM on every sync (so best rng, best case scenario)
1-st Cynthia sync (4 sync buffs) = 400K x 3 = 1.2M
2-nd Cynthia sync (5 sync buffs) = 450K x 3 = 1.35M
3-rd Cynthia sync (6 sync buffs) = 520K x3 = 1.56M
4-th Cynthia sync (7 sync buffs) = 590K x 3 = 1.77M
= 5.88M .. if theoretically 45% sync gear = 8.5M
this is ONLY syncs, not counting moves. If you can do 4 syncs + 2 B-moves then the 2 B-moves (8 PMUNs each) should do 160k x 3 = 480K and (2) 200Kx3 = 600K
so ~9.6M total max with best gear and best rng
Maybe its better to skip B-moves and push for 7 total syncs, if thats possible. Maybe then you get 10M with perfect gear & rng.
or maybe even 7 syncs + 1 last B-move if enough time (sand chip is bad, but also Cynthia has super high base speed, so Melony should never run out of gauge)
Without perfect TM refreshes its lower, but should still be like 8M+ ? You only really need ~4 TMs, so "only" 3 refreshes - 0.3^3 = 2.7% .. 0.3^2 = 9%
no idea if this is correct tbh. Feels like it ranges from 6M+ to 10M+ based on gear and refreshes
is that arc cynthia 5/5R?
yup
crazy o.o
her "base" even without TMs is already very high, but that TM (SEUN and 50% SyncUp) is insane - the best TM in the game for DC
if you reset for refreshes then it sky-rockets
- gear
all seuns and crits and randomly missed the last input wat
maybe i got too lazy with mashing bc i was playing on lower speed
did miss mind games proc at the start so it wouldn't have been ideal
This can’t be the best I do… rught?
nope thats about it .. maybe 100-150K more
you expect too much of a Dragon Striker that isnt NC Nate on a 3v1 stage
I guess but still damn
Thought I saw someone get 700k or something
800*
I just dont wanna use tech candies for Lucas cuz I never use them. Maybe I just take the weak score this time
oh it just takes too much time if you get every seun and aren't playing at min speed
bc i got it again, every seun+crit and not last sync
Oh I’m definitely taking the crap scores and giving up lol
No way am I using candies for this mode
Define decent, I don't think you clear 500k with any of these but given the state of the roster I'd be quite content with that score
I'm happy with this, missed a crit and 3/5 SEUP
Foe poison, that ain't bad
Poison doesn't really matter
Bc I ran out of cookies to roll for speed entry
So I run out of gauge a bit
Oof
Which is why Lucas did 20k dmg
Do you have the grids?
mainly would just need numbing blow on larry, sing accuracy on melony, and everything that buffs sync damage on lucas
Ok time to stream.
Ok, did it again now with correct skill gear. While I could have made it to the extra 50 that's just not reasonable for me to want to go back and hope all those scale shot did not miss.
nice
thx for pushing nate so high

DC wally can 1 mil
Oh really?
3/5 EX 6E
hmm...
Oh nice, DC Wally was eventually able to reach it
was hoping for MP refresh
Also you didn’t debuff to -6 Def so
ahhh
Also not to mention
should show my gears
Use Wally’s Tm early
Oh I wanna see that
ah love that mpr
don't even have a run yet lmao
surely this bad luck will make me get cynthia first daily

Gamers, what's the minimum move level for Chase in DC context
Oh perfect
NON CRIT
I saw C Elesa
Although I just EXR-ed Elio so that may be a bit of a problem. We'll see
I hate this 🙂
oof

Gotta have to count on SEUN MPR
Wally: Imagine dodging
^^^^
even with an acc drop
hate this game
the perfect run.
Ruined by a noncrit
Acc drop doesn’t matter that much

3 missed crits hell naw 💀
DeNa how to not make a optimized run, the most miserable thing possible,, Difficulty: impossible
Also, how are people getting close to 2.4M?
idk what i'm more pissed off on. MPR refreshes or syncs not critting
How about you ask the people who rely on para proc 
no need to, relying on evasion
Ok, i'm done.
no mpr refresh then ends off with a noncrit
Cool. thanks game
i gotta head to sleep here anyhow
wait..... wtf?

Same attack.
I'm looking at BP Lusamine and BP Rose and they're unironically pretty good for this mode, BP Lusamine wants Sun and Confusion tho, she can provide it herself.
And BP Rose can get SEUN but it's only through his TM with 1 charge and you can't get the rest of his multipliers if you grabbed SEUN.
Sadly BP Rose can't keep up with
KGrimsley or Colress, his grid is a nightmare
Yeah, I'm still leaning towards Colress over BP Rose because with offensive support, and the fact that his sync does -2 accuracy could mean he get get an extra sync in with enough misses
Also the role compression.
Glad I got 5/5 Colress just in time
So close 
wow. go sleep o-o
I'm waiting for the ticket update to 5/5 Ryuki
For f2p steel st Alola Grimsley > Colress imo.
Colress needs the full offensive babysitting is the biggest killer.
It depends, Colress could afford running an offensive buffer + Steel Zone setter since he already takes care of sync rushing while being the nuker. That -2 acc/sync on his grid could be big if he nabs enough misses
what are colress’ sync multipliers
Defense buffs and Paralyze (it's also his innate)
His innate is para since he's Tech. But also has Static Shock 9, which also requires para
His issue that he doesn't innately boost his atk or crit.
he buffs crit but it's slow
Alola Grimsley can also fish for miss.
Alola Grismley is admittedly impossible with both SEUN and zone, but gettin both for Colress SC Selena is pretty much the only choice so w/o her Colress is just hard to work.
It forces you to use Mirror Shot, Colress can't really do that in DC
Since he's busy sync rushing
ik
Hilbert at 3/5 is Colress best buffer, +6 atk, +3 crit, and +2 def (completing his Towering Force after popping his TM)
I've tried Hilbert + PMarnie. Not that amazing.
So uh… 
I got PMarnie to work with Redlax. Using her TM twice + Redlax Max Knuckle and 1 TM maxes out her atk and crit.
I mean for Colress' team lol
Some people have been running Anni Raihan, he can definitely go past 500k. 1M would depend on your other units
My PMarnie is 1/5 so it's no way she can do better than Colress or AGrimsley.
I think it could still work, just max out offenses with Hilbert and PMarnie could just TM just to sync a little faster. Sync with Hilbert and then sync rush+sync with Colress afterwards
I made AGrimsley hit 1M in 3v3 eventually but never Colress. Maybe Im just bad so I'd try again
I did see someone get 1M with Colress in 3v3 too, just forgot his teammates
What grid? Ive been getting like 100k 
I have 1/5 exr redlax and colress/bp barry
#1255888121648644197 message
It's SCSelene. Like I said w/o SC Selene it's hard to make him work.
As long as he grabs his two sync damage tiles, Interference Sync, and Weather Sync Up, maybe Solar Sync too, he should be good. BP Barry is better for this than Colress because BP Barry has a 50% chance to inflict Trap when he clicks Absorb which procs Raihan's Interference Sync.
After Raihan's first sync, Sun should be up. Use Max Flare if it's about to expire to maintain Weather Sync Up.
Dont have vlance, my flyhan is 3/5, and melony isnt EXd

Redlax, BP Barry should work with Raihan but it's not as straightforward due to what Anni Raihan's multipliers need

Do you have Morty ?
SS Morty
3/5 Raihan is horrible if you dont have other unit to bring other weather
Sandstorm + Trap just dead
Aaron
Also my best score has been with Zerena and its not even that high 
3/5 EXR SS Morty is recommended
Alr
Somebody help pls 🥺
I used 5/5 grid so that why my Raihan had Max Countdown 2, i suggest you can make up for it by suffer with Tm mpr 🦭
Also you dont need to flinch btw, that run need flinch so Shauna couldn’t use final move
Does morty and aaron grid matter? And im guessing its the same flyhan grid?
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
what's next
triple water
Easy FTP w/ Kris probs. Very exciting lol
These single target stages are a nightmare
Is Dahlia really that good even if some of her stuff is annoying?
Like needing Teeter Dance for Interference Sync and using Muddy Water for Superduper
C Blue can do confusion for her. Not sure if muddy water worth it
Muddy Water becomes worth if you proc an accuracy drop and you get a lot of misses
It's far from reliable but it's there
Is he caked?
So no Superduper
Also Blue needs to frequently use Discharge, which can be annoying because he can flinch
And Blue's Gobsmack is only 30% chance
Is this another case of sync damage only?
how many syncs?
I think 3?
No
i think he can hit 1m and he syncs all the way.
Why SC Steven ?
You cant sync spam
Figured the type rebuff was worth the payoff
sc steven could wwork, but if you ran bp barry iirc
Oh yeah, to not rely on sing
the reason people use melony is because faster, but only if the target has been paralyzed/burned or w/e
9mostly paralyzed0, with like NC Blue
yea no point in running melony/elio without another status
bp barry and colress are better by that point
Good ol' Classic Red. Always a classic
If you're using Red try Elio. Use Red's Body Slam to para.
I tried that for a bit with Melony on sing but the proc rate was too low. Literally didn't proc 3 times in a row, and sing missed 3 times in a row too
Oh and my Barry still had Vigilance 
you don't have he1 gridded?
First of all Red is never good with Melony. Their gauge is too poor.
Red has body slam he1 at 3/5 so it's actually 60%. Also it should be a first turn thing and when you didn't proc just restart.
he1 is 2/5 but yeah it's also available on 3/5
went from 2/5 colress to 6/5 colress off general tickets lol
I'm gonna have to cope hard for a single Colress to appear when I pull Steven

Think I can hit 2 million?
did you miss a crit?
Don't know, but I DO know that this is only using Critical Strike 2.
if cs2 doesnt show up, you missed a crit ;-;
how many syncs did you managed to do ith iris?
- Somehow, I feel like a fifth is possible, though. Just need the right RNG for it.
managed to hit 4 SEUN?
Yes.
honestly, if youo're like 1 move away from her 5th sync, could be possible hmm.
i'm assuming steven is running head start 1, and bp barry adrenaline.
Head start on both.
has anyone tried cyrus for this?
i don't have invested lucas, or nc nate, or like any rly good dragon that isn't zerena
i think you could get to 1.8-1.9m if you give her super powered 3 oo.o
Let's hope I get it. That could make things a lot easier.
He's a striker. He even struggle to hit 1M in 3v3.
how about Dragon techs like Ryuki or Drasna?
ryuki at 4/5, drasna at 2/5
Ryuki hit 1M with some premium teamates.
can i see a vid/guide? i'll give him a shot
yup
as good as i'm going to get
#5
oh wait it was on cs2
i forgot to switch it back to sp3
lmao
time to grind again
ok now that's as good as i'm getting
#2
every seun and crit and mind games proc at the start
I improved
sp3 made a 4.1% difference
Auto will never get 1m even with 3 stages, auto is really really bad
No video or guide. Only saw this.
#1255888121648644197 message
nice
ty

i wonder how well 1/5 arcynthia will do at 3v3 ground
im ready for rank damage challenge
You got cynthia?
Got her at 5/5 ?
Wow
yes
What are your best Sinnoh/Champion/Ground gears ? How much sync % damage?
Never tried damage challenge some help or pointers?
Ig I'm screwed for ranked? Cynthia, Wally and Penny are 1/5
I really wanted to pull for Lance (also possible, brutal 500 points shaft), but he'd be another forever 1/5 unit, idk if Lear isn't a good choice (At least I can upgrade him
)
So wht do people think like how much Lillie can do in st steel dc
cynthia should still be good even if 1/5
i think you're better off using a status spammer for glad
the premium fairy team makes use of sprint exrs
I'm pretty sure I did some testings with para/sing spamming and the results were worse than Gladion and 1/5 Penny&Wally (maybe I'll try again with Rosa), anyway this team scored 3.4M during the fairy 3v3 dc.
Kept missing 1 SEUN and my hand hurts guess I'll just settle with this :]
playing valorant
haha
Not tested yet
Wow crazy good score:)
ty
I guess the rebuffs, ground zone and the b move finisher should be enough to support another ground nuker, but her nuke will be pretty bad at 1/5
Does sync aoe have penalty?
I wonder if Steven could find applications with sync up next, def/sdef drops etc
Ik
so Steven is only really for that 1st sync
Wht were the rewards of super sparring
triple water is next, I hope kris can do a good job here
Kris union should be among the best units
Maybe not as good as 5/5 Lysander or 5/5 Dahlia
Damage is nice but cynthia is mega why she dont have 3 rebuff on entry? You have 2
This is kinda weird for me
So the entry rebuff doesn't active again when mega
Good to know
5/5 grid kinda slow her down for DC
Since it cast Ground Zone again every sync
Its kinda scam since like wally on mega have same stuff like base when entry
you just dont take Dustkicker
Almost 10s each sync💀
But yeah you're def not running that
Can't wait to try her on Triple Ground weak on October
My Cynthia should be 5/5 by then
Nah, it is normal. it has “the first time it enter the battle” thing, different than only “enter the battle”
That also why HS doesn’t work on mega
She mega enter again
There're two kinds of entry passive:
- WITHOUT "the first time" in description: this will activate a second time when mega
- with "the first time" in description: this will NOT activate a second time when mega, unless the mega pair changes their passive upon meta, which is SS Wally's case (HS1>HS2)
The First Time
Ok but for me mega is not same unit as base
Then tell me why Head Start doesn’t work for mega
That bc it has “The First Time”
That why Wally cant use HS1 to cheese tho
If HS work on mega then why we ever want to use Adrenaline
So yeah, Cynthia’s passive works perfectly fine tho
But wally in grid low special attack befor mega and after mega
You should read it
The lower special atk and raise speed only has “enter the battle”
A yed no first time🤣
Those don’t have “the first time”
I do have 3/5 Penny
I mean it's kinda obvious with "the first time" part so really no scam.
The only scam is 500 pity with reuse asset.
For me not haha🤣
So if they add arc units should work diffrently then regulars
Then its wort 500/500
If its same lol?
Kinda strange for me why dont give 3 rebuff when its mega .
Nah, it works perfectly fine tho
If AS Cynthia is perfect like that. DeNA can't sell any ground pair in the future
3 is always better then 2:)
You dont want to see Cynthia and Steven get 3 Rebuffs without any effort while Lance need grid for it

Lance sync have physical?
4th sync missed the SE and Crit. Lucas just decided randomly to gut the 4th specifically
this with exr?
Nope
2 resets till ranked
Well... I guess I need 4 MP Refreshes to hit 1M+
Do you have C Elesa ?
No Classic Elesa sadly
I'll probably try do more runs w/ Iris Alt (but I'll take the points for now)
I might give Drasna EX and Ryuki a try, both 3/5+ (tho idk if they can hit high enough)
yeah i see
Oh water multi on friday
Hmmm
Kris gaming inertia, sure crit, haymaker and super powered 5 o.o
Hrm looks gud
Dahila is so good even if not invested imo
No seun .-. oh wells
Only problem with her is 1 use rain
Yeah you need to time that carefully without extension
2nd kris sync? Maybe?
Which team is the best for Kris here?
The Melony team has def debuffs
I would also go for the Melony team
Altough, perhaps Melony doesn't do too much in here
Anyone got team ideas for 1M?
so for a fairly restricted roster, is it weird that im outdamaging spam strats with 1/5 leon dmax cannon spam
none of my syncers are getting anywhere close, even with 2x critastrophe on cyrus
Do you have NC Bianca?
How many B Move did you use ?
Yep
Uhh once
Trying to stack the physical boost to 10
3 b moves
If you have NC Bianca, yeah just drop Nc Rosa
You have a vid? Also grid for NC Bianca?
#1255888121648644197 message
You must have insane gears 
wait something my brain just caught: SST Red is finally going to have a good buffing teammate in AS Steven right? we finally have a way around team-wide gradual healing?
this is my pb and runner up
post-enemy sync dmax cannon is just doing way more than any sync
so im wondering if theres a better gauge support for leon than the team comp shown there
Has anyone got colress 3/5 grid for DC?
+pins
I think I have to take the L for this DC
anyone doing calcs for Cynthia and Lance to see how much they will get in DC?
I know we dont know Lances B-move multipliers, but you can safely just assume it will do the 999,999 cap
No video? I can't seem to get the strat right..maybe its my gears lol
He can just easily accumulate PMUN and SMUN by cycling syncs
One B hyper beam and Giga impact for the end
Yes
Wat will take alot time
He has a para node in grid yes
Oh you mean ranked
Fair
So nobody use him
Well you just go full damage then, he has 150 sync BP in grid
And relentless
His most important node besides relentless is that +2 smun/pmun each sync
Most important thing it will be
If spam para sing if they dont get any info they immune
This will slow it down alot since we never got something like this in dc hard tell wat will be. Is same like cs or no
True
I replied to you yesterday, maybe you missed it.
#1255888121648644197 message
Ah yes thanks I'm still struggling to match yours even after watching that lol Do you have normal gears on? I think the lucky skills I am using may be different
Arc Steven waiting room
Went back and did a quick dirty run. This one is non optimal and with generic 3 star dragon gear instead of my skill gear.
So an optimal run is closer to 1.75+ with dragon gear
With skill gear as some of you have seen it's 2 million.
ok i misplayed a little but
i can prob get 250k
is the time loss for syncing red -> elio -> leon worth the extra sync buff?
huh. now i cant get past 160k regardless of mpr luck
242 is fine ig
@glossy token how much dmg does drasna do? i have her ex so idk. she might be worth a shot? or maybe not
she seems like your only one w/ a semifunctional nuke
i can try her, but ik her grid multiplier is w/ toxic
so timeloss to speed reduction/para skip chance and animation time
i can try it and see
but i was under the impression she was actively not good here
you dont have a lot of options
yeah fair lmao
bad is better than nothing
i tried leveling the 1/5 lance i pulled on the final ticket day and he was pitiful lmao
do we want the hit poisoned opp tile in drasna's grid?
i imagine not bc thats additional time
gl
is the -6spdef vs +2spdef not going to meaningfully help drasnas sync dmg?
or is the +3 (or more) seun better in the long run
redlax tm is +50%
gotcha
You can pick sharp entry if you skip adren
is adren not worth for sync rush?
i thought you wanted hs/adren wherever you can get
you dont need sharp entry i mean
oh
also now that i have an elio/redlax comp again
sync with red then drasna? or red elio drasna
red elio drasna
Lance's B move has only one use?
I'm curious how big is its multiplier
i could probably grind for 300 but o7 citrine for the push to drasna toxic be damned
i used drasnas tm right at the end for a final seun smun and free move next for the last second draco meteor, but would it be better to get it out sooner? ive been using elio's tm + toxic ramp up to hit +6 spatk but maybe its faster to wait to use reds tm seuns later/until after drasna's first sync
also i get why it doesnt but i am once again wishing you could stack seun and just have it use one at a time and not the full multiplicative stack bc every time i mess up and double stack/waste one i cry
alr ty final tox proc for 8k, i saw brutal swing queue up when i was at 298 and was about to be so mad lmao
mix leaf will carry me 💪
dark single tho💀
wonder if marnie can do 1 mil
even on 3v1
ss cyrus time 
if i can get to 300 for dc marnie before/during dark single i think i can pop off
dc marnie for zone, colress for para + screech, then its ex incin all the way
Going to continue my DC Wally attempts for 1 mil tonight
Furthest i got was 960k and because i missed a crit
Surely i can hit 1 mil
doing the math on that, ex is 1.5, innate is speed (maxes his own speed via tm x 2), dominating sync 5 passive, pecking order in grid (i couldve sworn he had blind spot too but oh well)
thats not too shabby of a stack
redlax might still beat marnie but
I got 700k with Ryuki and I'll take it
That makes 2 stages without 1M for me (single bug and single dragon)
Whats the best team here? I got 1.2 mil with 4/5 ex lucas, nc blue and melony
can't tell you #1 for certain but #2
Oh wow
fishing for seun procs every sync
EXR lucas? Whats the strat?
yea
Are you using discharge more than once?
If you dont mind
Ty
Went up another 400k points
Didnt proc super command on every one but idc to go any higher lol
The sp def drop helped

nice gj
pretty rare for me to have anything close to an optimal team for this mode so i wanted to get out an ideal run while i had the chance
Anyone scoring 2M+ with Nate 
there were some here
I hit 2,033,845 with Nate. No chance it makes 2.4m. the only way I see to hit that number is to get an extra sync and followup nuke, that requires a crazy amount of misses and paras.
Hey all, first time poster - this may help those who only have free dragon tech pairs.
~840k Drasna run (w/ Lucas and Melony, but l've hit 900k with multiple TM refreshes)
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
wondering if you should run bp barry over melony so you have an option that doesn't run out of gauge and you can use toxic when you do have gauge
No Support Cake on Lucas, got all Super Effective Ups and crits
Yeah I just tried it and it may be more replicable. Can’t squeeze an extra sync in unfortunately
i see
it has existed for a while
I got real excited when I saw Iris
welcome to reset hell
tbh ive barely been focusing on tryharding this whatsoever... do i have to beat my old scores to get more out of stages when they repeat?
just assumed it was just "do something each day and youll get shit eventually"
yeah but doing the fights "normally" nets you so little that it can take a long time to even get one unit
the units are average (with some outliers) so most just sweat for faves/getting on the leaderboard
I'm just taking the L this time around 
yeah f2p units on dragon st is rough
I don't even have Ryuki 
At least Ryuki should be more accessible now, you just need to nab his copies from Alola or General Ticket pulls
What is the best option for this? Please ping me
I would be lying if Drasna wasn't your best option, but she is
If Nate, Lucas or Iris were 3/5, then one of those would've been the top pick
That's.... concerning
What should I do with her? Or should I just use my dozens of candy to get Lucas 3/5?
Don't candy for DC
And what about grid for her? I assume run her with red lax?
If you scroll up, I posted a video of Drasna EX getting 800k plus
You can try with Lucas and either of Barry/Melony
Do you mind posting grids?
It's easier to grab a photo, my phone doesn't like videos with masters running.
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
Thank you!!! If I run into issues I'll make sure to give you a holler
I'm curious, why the sync with Lucas if he isn't caked?
Mainly to stop Drasna’s SEUN from activating on the second sync. Also had Adrenaline LS on Lucas and coupled with his Adrenaline passive it kinda worked
Thanks for the team btw, I'll try that with caked Lucas (way cheaper investment than candy)
So basically poison them, sync with melody, then Lucas, and spam sing and sync with drasna?
And is there a reason drasna is hit instead of the support?
I forgot about that tbh
But just to be sure, is there anything else I can use to get a higher score?
do you have nc leaf, c elesa or someone to enable champ iris?
Another possible run...you sync with the supports each to get 4 sync buff and subsequent dialga syncs..
Go for zone toward last few syncs..
Total 8 to 9 sync buffs..
wait, is 3/5 zerena not better?
sry i know im late
passive head start + restraining sync up plus soften up, brainpower, super syncer
this seems like it would outdamage drasna by miles
esp if already ex, let alone exr
@stoic crest not sure how you've done since im realizing im almost an hour late but
I actually was just about to start
So should I run drasna or zygarde?
you can try drasna, but zygarde has higher stats and better multipliers
because you dont have to use poison to activate drasnas
so you can use the standard para for added time in the form of skipped move potential and slower enemy gauge
i dont know the exact timer on restrain compared to other status changes but
prob throw it on after your first support sync and itll be fine to last thru the end
plus exr on her will scale her sync to even higher heights
Do I run melody and Lucas still?
i dont think she'll be fast enough for melony, but you can try
you want a para unit
i dont recall from your prev comps, do you have bp barry or 3/5 colress?
I have both of those pairs
dealers choice of those two for para spam then
bc you otherwise dont have a way to para
What does restrain do?
activates a sync multiplier
Oh that's a big deal
also, you might want redlax or smth rather than lucas
Sync with zygarde second or first? I ask since she changes forms
but yeah zerena's final passive in both formes
second
she has the support boost but if you can pack a second support unit you can get even bigger number so why not
but 556 spatk for a 325bp sync with increased crit chance from soften up + those restrain multipliers between the two forms + brainpower
only thing to watch for is to apply restrain before you proc feel our feelings for +6spatk since you'll lose time for the gradual healing animation time at the end otherwise
Do I want her regular dragon move or just sync?
sync as many times as possible, hold the smun from entry until the very end
so you can get the biggest possible boost to the final core enforcer
yep! sync with red first, then serena as many times as you can while leaving time for a final core enforcer
And restrain, then her TM, then sync her?
Thank you!
lmk what kinds of sicknasty numbers we wind up with :)
I got 400k first run but I know it surely can be better. Probably doesn't help I'm groggy and didn't hit stuff as fast I should
nice!!
that's close to the most for zerena tbh
Zerena really isn't built for dc
theres no way she doesnt clear 500k??
between her own seun after first sync and redlax to give her seun before and after that
Drasna or Ryuki + 1/5 Lucas can do 600k minimum.
close usually means a 200k difference to me in dc
Drasna is wayyy better than zerena for them tbh unless he doesn't have her
I don't know why they aren't using drasna
@stoic crest do you have 3/5 drasna and a 1/5 Lucas
Yeah drasna is 5/5 And Lucas is 2/5
is drasna exed or can you afford to ex her
Yeah I ex her
Zerena can go around 600k with good gear and optimal setup, but Drasna can go much higher (900k+) because she has access to Dragon zone through Lucas and Melony (sing spam is faster than paralyse)
Try drasna Lucas and elio or melony, whichever is ex
zerena's highest optimal is around drasna's lowest somewhat optimal
Yeah that’s it basically, have to keep an eye on your gauge though
I only got 550k so far with Lucas and drasna...but I don't have purple cookies. I caked Lucas too
why were you using zerena btw. Iirc she only has 150% sync mult?
I don’t like her 🙃
ig i just dont really understand what exactly zone adds to drasna that makes up from the combinations of toxic over para + worse multipliers and stats
critical strike 2 on drasna should be enough
Yeah that's what I gave her
Toxic at base means you can afford melony
melony is much faster than para rush even if enemy is poisoned
drasna has more multipliers
It's a tragedy we don't have lance yet he would probably clear this easily 😔
and the stat gap isn't too bad
she doesnt
her grid is virulent toxin and thats it
why use zerena then if you were getting a lot more than zerena?
her passive is only super duper effective not super powered
her sync has inate
and tech ex boost
already equal multipliers to zerena. Virtuelent gives her more mult and iirc she has refreshable seun
i know, but thats only 2. zerena has brainpower, restrain, and soften up for crit + hs1 and smun on entry
I just can't seem to get above 550k with drasna.
brain power and zerena passive is only 150% total
drasna has no mega tax, tech inate(100%) tech ex(50%) and virulent toxin 5(50%) that's 200%
zerena has no mega tax either
Mostly bc you can use other pair
does zerena have infinite seun btw
Like Zone or SEUN
no
No
its after first sync
drasna has infinite seun
and seun is 1.5x not 50% so it's much bigger
.
you just bring redlax
you can get like 1 or 2 drasna mpr and save for the last syncs
SS Serena either stuck with para + other pair or para + sing
dasna simply affords more
the first passive is infinite
the second one is only once
Yeah I think 600k is my max I'll get with drasna without purple cookies.
Drasna can just go with Sing + other pairs
their names are pretty easy to mix up
you bring in redlax for zerena?you lose space for Lucas
zerena has the second one right?
I also wonder if meleotta or something is better.
ye
you lose other boosters that way
strikes usually aren't as good as techs in st
there are exceptions like Nate ofc
ok but what does zone Do. it feels like it would burn more time
like how much of a buff does it give compared to seun every sync
“Pyuko” 
and also you can fit 2 syncs in the 40s zone duration
while seun is only once
"Gnotle" 
so then how would lucas + zerena + ex bp barry (for ex support sync to start things off, but maybe colress instead and just sync with zerena from the start??) fare
not very well
The most important is still Drasna takes BOTH zone + SEUN, and with even only 1 TM refresh she wins SSSerena w just 1.
zerena sync isn't that strong
Thank you everyone for the help
I will always read your name like that
Pyukomuko
That's the best I got with Serena
Edit. Peaked at 777k
vindication.gif
Does Chase have to be 3/5?
i didnt know chase had dc utility!
Because that's even better than I'm getting with drasna.
He has always been
i mean i dont have him
and i havent been seeing him in comps
so he just wasnt one i knew of to potentially consider
Just isn’t popular as NC Blue
The best f2p is still Ryuki. Alr hit 1M.
I actually haven't seen Drasna and SS Serena hit it.
You can see this channel pin
im not doubting i just hadnt seen him in the list
mostly bc ive been checking more of 'ok here are the units i Have to work with in the first place'
With a Lucas EX or an extra TM refresh this would go close to 1M
@stoic crest just go Lucas drasna and melony
he's one of the best dc supports
Chase is really good, even better than NC Blue for Special partner
The problem ? Not many people have him
While NC Blue is just really popular
I have both
I have both too
Drasna is stuck at 600k
But chase only 1/5 for me so i still prefer NC Blue
damn yall should share with the rest of us (making it so wildly clear this is a joke i am joking i am not at all upset or mad)
Do you have NC Rosa
I think you can try NC Nate/NC Bianca/NC Rosa for ST Dragon rank

I've already did my score. I'm just trying to see if I could push Serena closer to the million.
No no, i only want to try it when rank happen
What are your teams for tomorrow's DC?
Bc you can use NC Rosa without para to spam Sing
he also requires more rng
Also requires you target him first
Which is a one-sided thing
If he gets hit, his passive will annoy you
will eusine be better or kris?
Not sure TBH
he has Eva to avoid that but it's rng
eusine has like 200% sync total?
that's as much as Kris
He needs trap
I'll repeat this over and over; Dahlia is strong, but very annoying to set up
yeah I will probably go kris, mina(or will may be better?) and bp barry
LySSandre is a Melony enabler
burn is still bad tho and idt he gets 3 mil b move
dahlia should probably be better even with is9
yeah his b move won't be close to 3m
Does Dahlia need Superduper or nah?
huh didnt knw kris have so many decent sync multipliers in grid
She can try trigger it for her first sync.
And maybe right before the last sync too.
only if you believe that you will dodge everything with the acc drops. Otherwise not worth imo aside from maybe final sync if she somehow has enough time
Then that means Chase + Melony
You should use Muddy Water once or twice before first sync with or without super sync, no?
It has -2 aoe spdef drop
yeh
Dahlia has this as her first sync assuming you fully debuff everone's Sp. Def. to -6
Wait forgor about Kanto circle
you can get it for first sync and maybe last sync but imo getting it for every sync isn't realistic
Do we have a graphic about the special ranked damage?
Not yet
There we go
was gonna say that it looks too weak so maybe something is missing
where does it say we are getting another ranked dc
o sht mustve missed it
How to add bullets to your message btw
Conditions:
- 4 sync buffs
- SEUN
- All enemies have -6 Sp. Def.
- Kanto Circle
- Confused all enemies
- -1 water rebuff on all enemies
Using 5/5 energy
I forgot the characters needed to do that
Oh I understand now, after some quick dirty testing, I'm hitting around 1.2. with Rosa on the team with Nate and Bianca.
Add one rebuff
it's gonna be so much faster in st ranked dc
cuz no sing animations at all
I did, I forgot to include it
but does the pop up appear? if yes, there is still a delay
there's no passives involved so if it's like champion stadium no status it just cancels the animation
same on latias's status shield
the passive-related immunities will stall it

Imagine if we had no status condition rule for electric, poison and/or fire-weak ranked DC

Yeah , I was lost for a second , had not got around to reading what's coming in rank.
I'm just wondering if it can make up for not having the paralysis triggering my skill gear. I'll leave a lot on the table. Just gotta see if the extra sync and nuke makes up for it.
Cynthia needs exr to apply AOE rebuff with sync? Or multi applies AOE rebuff already?
if it works like cs params then there should be no pop up
the latter
So that's a big win for Steven and lance
Too bad Steven and Lance's time has passed
Only steel 3v3
Steven will probably be optimal support in steel st?
For wat lol?
-2 Rebuff
I think the highest st steel nuke is marnie palentines
And Sync MUN
and she already has zone
Since no sing spam
Worth it if it's a 50% damage boost tbh
A you mean 3 vs 1
yes ofc
Then think pal marnie
3vs3 already passed
Will be the best
Yes but Steven will likely be her optimal support
No sure about it
Imagine if Gloria dominates steel 3v1 too 
what are parnie multipliers again
doubt
Also, I should've thought of Melony/V. Thorton during steel 3v3
Who would be nuker then?parnie? or does Lear have a stronger nuke
Gloria was the only real nuker back then 
Also steel 3v3
Steel 3v3 has Lear now
Gloria still outnukes him
I used Rose for 3v3 Steel. When it comes back I'll have Lear for it
Actually, Lear is slightly higher than Gloria, but Gloria has her own rebuff, so she's better than Lear
Thorton has slot compression for zone and paralyze along with support EXR
Gloria has her move too
And she also has her rebuff to match Lear
What would the Lear team be actually
V. Thorton and Melony
Who
BP Rose
Is this vs Gloria/Lear
Well 3v1 not much question there
For st I think STate has a high chance to be the top.
I'll just use Colress
Too bad BP Rose is 1 energy off from the perfect build even with +10 energy
If I get Arc Steven, I can use Colress/Arc Steven/SC Selene
It even contains TM: Super Prep 9
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
STate: innate & +170% sync tile in grid, compress para + spdef down, can roll team +2 eva to dodge.
What's the team with him?
really?
She outnukes him thanks to her -1 steel rebuff at 5/5
Without it, then she's only slightly behind him
lear has big final b move tho
I have S. Tate but he's at 1/5
And Gloria has her move too
And Gloria can use it twice or more as opposed to Lear who can only use it once
even with rebuff it's only st so she doesn't outnuke by that much, Lear has accel so maybe he gets a sync more and he has final b move(he has the strongest non 1 mp aoe extend range attack in the game btw)
Lear can use it more than once tho right? Unless you'll stack up SMUN
it won't be much compared to Lear's final b move
also Lear probably gets in 1 more sync cuz sprint
Actually, Lear outnukes Gloria in general even if Gloria has rebuff, but since Gloria has SEUN, then she's better
she has refreshable seun right?
20%, but yes
Yuck 20%
She has Sync Burst, but that's it
I respect those who refresh it
Like me during steel 3v3 
Mad respect
Mine is 1/5 so I can't, but I wasn't even able to attempt to reset for 5th Rose Sync
The only disadvantage Gloria has over Lear is that Gloria doesn't have a way of debuffing defenses for her while Lear has his B Move to debuff Sp. Def., but would you really use his B Move twice?
so she spends extra time using tm before sync right
It also contains -1 sync CD
And her TM has sure crit unlike Lear who doesn't have a passive to guarantee crit
btw Lear can get 8 smun on b move
Did you use pomatool? I believe they didn't count his passive "Royal Fortune" yet so it's debatable.
and he can potentially get 1 more sync in
I did
I accounted both of them having SEUN, which Lear had an advantage, which I didn't want
is circle a tm ?
Yes
Yes
7 smun then before b move
