Damage Challenge

[cloud timber]

yea

[old valve]

Swag

[cloud timber]

exactly the same

huge delay on one stat, minimal on 2+

[old valve]

Who else on the team alongside him and Diantha though?

...NC Blue as expected, or-?

I'll try that first I suppose

Oh and I bet if I use an early Diantha TM I can cap out Steven's defenses early for faster cosmic spam too

[vagrant ivy]

top 1k cutoff at 3.15m rn

probably gonna be 3.5m+ by the end of all this

I need my ST rock strat to work out otherwise it’s joever for me

[old valve]

I've never been more disgusted by a grid of my own making

But at least I can put the Head Start 1 I have on my Steven to good use

[vagrant ivy]

[green oar]

What’s the last dc?

[vagrant ivy]

flying 3v3

in 38 minutes the last DC will be 3v1 ice

[green oar]

Well oof don’t have good flying types

[true locust]

Absol say

Should reset if no update

Dc round but no gems

[old valve]

I have realized that I am a fool and that Diantha's TM only gives herself special defense

[true locust]

Give if have defence normal raise

[old valve]

I'm well aware, yes- I was just under the impression that the effect applied to the whole team rather than just herself. Steven needs capped defenses here, so I thought it'd help.

[lusty galleon]

I'll try something fun for the Psychic DC

[old valve]

Do sycamore's offense-boost-after-getting-hit passives waste time or nah?

[lusty galleon]

let's see how it goes haha

[crude sandal]

Best team is Chase/Damage Dealer/NC Rosa right?

[old valve]

Update: seems like it does waste time :(

[lusty galleon]

no idea on which one will be tbh

but wouldn't be surprised if it is lol

Lear has potential in there

[crude sandal]

Lear is definitely the best one

[lusty galleon]

I'll try something with SS Steven

[sacred badger]

psychicmulti time

[lusty galleon]

let's see how it goes

[sacred badger]

what team? D:?

[lusty galleon]

something fun, you'll see :T

[sacred badger]

lol

[lusty galleon]

dunno how it will go hahaha

[sacred badger]

i can see you running NC Rosa, NC Blue

[lusty galleon]

will I

[cloud timber]

yea every reactive passive is bad

unless it's buffing evasion and sometimes team swift reaction is alright too

[crude sandal]

@thin wren It's time

[lone pond]

Survey says: It loops back to nemona

[thin wren]

IT'S TIME

[sullen zephyr]

gems?

no gems

[sacred badger]

yeah if you've cleared it before, then no more gems.

[true locust]

So its psychic?

[thin wren]

I won't be able to push for 2 hours

[warped gulch]

Yeah, i can 3M

Just need more ….. dodge

[frail owl]

Btw the schedule in pin is updated with the new dates

[cloud timber]

ty

[weak jungle]

damn no more gems?

[cloud timber]

rip

[thin wren]

@quaint timber hi.

attempt 1
I forgor to x special attack all with chase so sync 1 had only+4 special attack
No dodges on chase
no para
syncs were on lower rolls

I can definitely see 5 mil with good luck

and non stupid plays

will push in 2 hours

[sacred badger]

whose syncing though, nc rosa, zapdos and into ss steven?

i'm assuming that's a 5/5 ss steven though.

cuz my run was riddled with ss lusamine not crit syncing 5 times.

[lusty galleon]

I tried something for fun, but can't get the gauge for it sadly haha

[sacred badger]

56k ont he side, 120k on the middle. rofl.

[thin wren]

no chase?

chase is more optimal

[crude sandal]

Not bad, but I think I should've aimed at either the Clodsire or Glimmora since my skill gear has move multipliers for statused opponents

[quaint timber]

heyyy

[crude sandal]

How much did SS Lusamine scored before again?

[sacred badger]

1.2m iirc.

problem with her is that

[crude sandal]

Her best?

[sacred badger]

if you miss a sync crit.

[royal lodge]

3m-ish

[crude sandal]

Wasn't she like the highest before?

[sacred badger]

cuz... she can miss a crit sync :x

that's like 60% damage loss ;-;

soften up gaming is real ;-;

[pallid girder]

Now exr Lear will beat her.

[crude sandal]

That is obvious

[candid nexus]

Lear needs to be 3/5?

[cloud timber]

everything does

if they're damage dealing

[narrow sluice]

Will Snatch: No Stat Up on Field 9 be needed?

[wise mulch]

Does anyone have video using 3/5 Jacq

[lusty galleon]

nope, sadly, it only activates when the move is successful....

[pallid girder]

Some best dd that might change
Psychic 3v3: SS Lusa -> Lear
Rock 3v3: NC Silver -> U Selena
Ground 3v1: Courtney > Arc Cynthia
Steel 3v3: Gloria -> SS Lear (if Gloria doesn't get exr or get a bad exr)

[warped gulch]

So do you see me using Chase ever ?

[pallid girder]

Will Giocomo outdmg NC Marnie?

[lusty galleon]

he could

quite "easily", but I suppose his passive triggering every time the enemy hit... is not desirable

[cunning rock]

NC Marnie has evasion on her TM, if she somehow racks up enough dodges, she could get another sync in more than Giacomo

[open grotto]

who to pair with mewtwo? im using melony and nc blue, want to aim for 1m but only able to get 700k

[cunning rock]

If you have NC Rosa, she's better than Melony for this since she has -1 Psychic Rebuff

[cloud timber]

without rosa it still comes down to that team

ideally you get mind games 2 on blue and triple spdef drop to have -3 for brainteaser

but bp barry and ss hilbert/dahlia can get it to -6

very efficiently

but i'm not sure that even justifies switching off nc blue/melony

[crude sandal]

Caitlin can reach 1M right?

[sullen zephyr]

wait does mind games proc on stun spore?

[thin wren]

ah right you don't like rng

wait I didn't have gears equiped

[crude sandal]

I think it has to be a passive similar to Stupefy

[thin wren]

ofc

+4 is best tho

*4

[pallid girder]

Last time she didn't, but it's when we didn't know sing spam.

[sullen zephyr]

yeah mind games description says attack move

[thin wren]

chase as well or nc blue?

[cloud timber]

taking this

[crude sandal]

No Chase?

[cloud timber]

no chase

are we just expecting everyone to have chase at this point

[crude sandal]

Depends

NC Blue is better when your main DD is physical

[thin wren]

what rng

[thin wren]

he's more available than nc blue technically

[cloud timber]

i am f2p

[desert fox]

I have chase, can someone ask me no nc blue

[pallid girder]

Ironically most ppl skip Chase bc they have NC Blue.

[sweet grail]

Man

I forgot the nc rosa ss lusa and ss lana strat

[sullen zephyr]

no nc blue?

[thin wren]

ahh

[pallid girder]

It's sing spam w/o para.

[thin wren]

not optimal anymore

do you have Lear

[cloud timber]

also i didn't expect to be 4th people are slacking

[sweet grail]

I got 3m+ with it so it's still good for me lul

[crude sandal]

I pulled for him out of impulse, but now, that proved to be one of my best decisions ever

[thin wren]

I will push after 2 hours

[warped gulch]

No dodge

[cloud timber]

yea i'm sure you'll surpass me in a min lol

[thin wren]

I need to pray for not horrible rng

how tf did I not get a single dodge or para

[crude sandal]

How many syncs?

I only managed 4 syncs with Chase and NC Rosa

[lusty galleon]

I think that's about it lol

[crude sandal]

4 syncs with SS Steven?

@thin wren How many Lear syncs did you do?

[warped gulch]

Finally

[thin wren]

3 with 0 misses or para

[warped gulch]

Mid gears too

[crude sandal]

How the hell?

[thin wren]

steven can sync a lot

[warped gulch]

Garbage gears

Just 80 SpA

[crude sandal]

How many syncs did you do Pykuo?

5?

[warped gulch]

5

[crude sandal]

How many para procs and/or dodges?

[warped gulch]

3 dodge

That run i only para 1 enemy

[thin wren]

4 mil is possible with chase

[warped gulch]

Bc it doesn’t matter

[thin wren]

gib me your luck pls

[crude sandal]

You mean like 6 syncs?

[thin wren]

Yes and chase naturally gives a higher multiplier

[rain copper]

quick question does the stage give gems

[crude sandal]

Well, here's my clear, not sure if I can improve it
https://youtu.be/TpV_pL0jmGI?si=UwYR_d7oSNkleYAN

[cloud timber]

nop

[warped gulch]

I’ll upload my run

[crude sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/no-gif-24966265

[rain copper]

nice i can ignore this mode from now

[warped gulch]

But but tickets

[rain copper]

[crude sandal]

Surprising that Steven can score that much

[warped gulch]

Reset heavy tho

[crude sandal]

And if he had proper multipliers in his grid, then he could probably beat even EXR Lear

[warped gulch]

Need flinch + evasion buff early

I even grid Blue the shield so he doesn’t lose Hp by DG

[crude sandal]

Why Jacq?

[thin wren]

just 1 more hour...

[crude sandal]

For what?

[thin wren]

I can't push until 1 hour

[warped gulch]

https://youtu.be/-iozJRcFZD0?si=8Yajhzd6vLqcTtKH

[thin wren]

@warped gulch can I borrow your luck for 3 hours

pls

[long silo]

Time to do a before and after

Steven first then Lear

[thin wren]

@long silo good luck

[long silo]

Thanks

[fluid anvil]

3,8M SS Lusa + SS Lana I was told (but no screenshot)

I was expecting Lear to easily break 4M even with early clears. Kinda lower than that
Not sure if he can break 5M at all, but he will be the only one above 4M most likely

[quaint timber]

chase

[fluid anvil]

nvm lol

[quaint timber]

with good skill gears he can def reach 5m

[fluid anvil]

Updating table

[warped gulch]

Jesus

[fluid anvil]

is that 4,901M the highest right now or #1 is even higher ?

[crude sandal]

Chase too OP

[warped gulch]

Yeah, should be the highest rn

[crude sandal]

How many syncs is this?

[thin wren]

a fellow Lear 5/5er?based af

[crude sandal]

skipping is a massive fan of rivals after all

[pallid girder]

Lear will be in 5M club sooner or later

[fluid anvil]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1unwNqwt18yroGqlEpdcnvYBhpn7KdX-ZCD53vqiufzg/edit?gid=78541076#gid=78541076

[thin wren]

Lear is our glorious king

[crude sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/your-opinion-is-irrelevant-hatsune-miku-mesmeriser-pokemon-masters-ex-pokemon-masters-gif-7587674211705987848

[long silo]

5 syncs might have been possible but eh. Lear next

[thin wren]

He could get 8 mil but wants to let others have the stage so he's lowering his damage

[crude sandal]

https://discordapp.com/channels/583120259708616715/1255888121648644197/1299281322774106267

[pallid girder]

I always want to ask: don't you want record 3v1 score as well?

[fluid anvil]

nope, I'm lazy

[sullen zephyr]

how should i quickly reach 18 buffs for ss steven? cosmic power?

[warped gulch]

1 extra Sync is better for me rn

[crude sandal]

Is NC Blue really better than Chase for SS Steven?

[warped gulch]

Idt so

[long silo]

I just went with Blue because I can't deal with RNG right now lol

[warped gulch]

Bc dodge aoe move is very good

[sullen zephyr]

if only atk deoxys maxes out its atk too

[warped gulch]

But ew rng

[ivory kestrel]

Is Restrain condition included by "opp interference S-move" boost?

[sullen zephyr]

no. interference includes trap, flinch, and confusion only.

[long silo]

nope

[quaint timber]

4 from lear

[thin wren]

no but it's much less rng

[crude sandal]

Yes

[warped gulch]

So Lear’s Sync just that strong

[faint quiver]

It all boils down to rng. 3 opponents make it harder to dodge/paralyze the opponents.

[ivory kestrel]

damn, sucks... means i have to grind for skill gears for Barry stage

[lapis yarrow]

Who to pair with Lear for non Chase users?

[warped gulch]

If only Steven had Sync multiplier in his grid

[crude sandal]

Redlax or NC Blue

[crude sandal]

That's literally what I said

[safe prawn]

I wanna going the 5 mln Lear gang; lend me a cake

[lapis yarrow]

Redlax and who else?

[crude sandal]

NC Rosa

[warped gulch]

But improve 2m -> 3.5m is really nice

[lapis yarrow]

And if no NC Rosa? lol

[thin wren]

270% + rebuff + circle+ big special attack is just that strong

[pallid girder]

It's just for balancing that they sometimes care.

[sullen zephyr]

wait ss steven has 6 spatk + 3 crit + 6 speed + 1 def + 1 spdef + 1 acc
that's 18 buffs so his sync is maxed out at 2.1x right?

[warped gulch]

Does crit count ? I dont remember

[vernal condor]

Yes

[pallid girder]

Elio.

[warped gulch]

Ok nice

[thin wren]

crit does

[warped gulch]

So my Steven max multiplier in 3.5M run

[thin wren]

Yes

A weirdly high amount of psychics have rising tide/good form like multipliers

[crude sandal]

Melony

[cloud timber]

yea they copy a lot of things over between units of the same type

[crude sandal]

Hi Rafa

[long silo]

5 syncs is possible but para procs

[warped gulch]

How about reset for evasion buff and pray

[long silo]

I'll cherish this before I go down

[long silo]

I also could do that. Probably way easier than the +Atk reset I did during Fighting 3v3

[sullen zephyr]

2M with 6 syncs from steven

[warped gulch]

You can reset for flinch + evasion buff early

Mostly bc flinch helps you bypass Rosa’s long B Move animation

[sullen zephyr]

Pykuo how did you deal an extra 1.5M

[long silo]

Yep. All RNG seems to be on the early part (flinch/evasion/Snatch MPR)

[crude sandal]

I did 2.4M with 4 syncs

[warped gulch]

https://youtu.be/-iozJRcFZD0?si=OZDyxYyjGkDby_TV

[sullen zephyr]

did you have 2 supp syncs? i only had 1

[crude sandal]

Yeah, Chase and NC Rosa

[sullen zephyr]

maybe i should sync with blue too. i was worried about not having enough dmg syncs to take advantage of 2 supp syncs

[sacred flower]

finally a nice score

[thin wren]

I am coming.

[sullen zephyr]

i made this table last week. what do yall think?

[thin wren]

may I steal pls

[sullen zephyr]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12_Ciqd9ZDoTeRqc5R2z92aszQKyfp_LiNOMFffsLNQ4/edit?usp=sharing

i got 7 syncs total so 2 support syncs should give a higher total.
that's not even taking into account the spdef debuffs from nc blue's sync.

[quaint timber]

https://youtu.be/FvCwu-q_8DE?si=imssVj-KLt69ztiT

[warped gulch]

Miss 1 crit

[vernal condor]

wait that's para spam

how did no one do this the 1st time

oh you use colress the 1st time

[cloud timber]

yeah very first rotation colress got mentions but not bp barry

[warped gulch]

Yeah

No

I know about Barry

But my Barry wasn’t EX back then

[crude sandal]

Best team for Tuesday
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=010102064800&s0=3&l0=150&r0=6&p0=0&a0=15010101&t0=44444&x0=true&g0=AAECAwQFBgcRGhwmKSss&v1=024401014501&s1=3&l1=150&r1=6&p1=0&a1=13016403&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFBggLDh0gKSwtLi8&v2=000000014300&s2=3&l2=150&r2=6&p2=0&a2=15010301&t2=44444&x2=true&g2=AAECAwQFERMWGRocHiAmKCo

[cloud timber]

i knew too but i didn't really bring it up bc i wasn't very successful

think i was fighting through gradual healing on lear's tm there

without really realizing

[vast glade]

Anyone still have the video/guide for the clear with SS Lusa 1/5 EXR? I managed to do it last time thanks to it

My SS Steven is only 1/5

[faint quiver]

Damn, same rotation from the beginning huh. Can't wait to do Poison ST soon.

[pseudo stag]

Almost 1 mil 😔

[vapid kernel]

Remove Colress

Just do DPS mode with lots of Prizmatic Lasers, or use BP Barry spam

[misty forge]

BP Barry to sustain gauge is definitely the way with Lussa and nobody else

No spam society

Wish I got a Lussa TM MPR but eh

First try, good try

[warped gulch]

I always miss 1 crit

[misty forge]

Yeah it's actually fun

[warped gulch]

It doesn’t even have any dodge or para luck

[normal parcel]

So tickets resets, but we can't get a single gem anymore from DC

And monthly gem count gets lower and lower

[brazen escarp]

Well I got Lucian now :D

[normal parcel]

And then they release batch of 3 1% 500 pity units

How many monthly gems we lost?

2400?

[fluid anvil]

~800-900

[brazen escarp]

What happened

[normal parcel]

DC doesn't give gems anymore

[pallid girder]

Tbh no gems when rerun is easily predictable bc it's like daily region rotation.

[normal parcel]

Daily rotation never had gems

[quaint timber]

oops i miscounted, it should be 5 from lear, so 7 in total

[ivory kestrel]

Bunch of non-crits in Hau run, will try to optimize later

[long silo]

I thought I'd go straight to Chase run instead. Very few secs off 5th sync

Also ran out of circle so oops

[thin wren]

only 2 dodges unfortunately

[thin wren]

I also ran out of circles at the last second

[long silo]

I can't really consistently time the circle lol

[thin wren]

it's ironic that the one higher than me is named kuriboh

[long silo]

I'll try again later

[thin wren]

do you have extension on chase

[long silo]

Yes lol

[thin wren]

click circle at 1:21

[long silo]

I popped up Circle below 1:30 but- oh okay

But 1:21 hmmm

[thin wren]

circle extended lasts for 1:20 seconds

1 second earlier than 121 because face takes a bit to pop up

[long silo]

I will hope for dodges then to make up for time after that lol

[thin wren]

you need 2 minimum

whose kuriboh

I will reset more on Sunday

[warped gulch]

[vast glade]

Sacrificed 2 candies on SS Lusa but since rotation ended anyway, I have more leeway now

There is probably a more optimal team/run but I won't bother lol

[misty forge]

Still better than last year

[thin wren]

chase Rosa Lear is the best comp rn as expected

[royal jolt]

Chase really assisted me here

https://youtu.be/OK5_N_7C0O8?si=TqOz912JddGvFuad

[thin wren]

I hope I can stay in the top 5

[thin wren]

chase is the GOAT

[rapid sparrow]

Would 2/5 Chase be viable?

[thin wren]

Yes but not for 4 mil

[warped gulch]

Rn still dont see SS Steven’s score with Chase higher than with NC Blue

[thin wren]

well theoretically 1/5 could hit 4 mil

[rapid sparrow]

He only need extention from 3/5 no?

[thin wren]

the people who use chase want the highest score possible. SSS can't get the highest score so chase isn't being used much with him

[royal jolt]

TRUE

[thin wren]

3/5 extension is big unless you literally dodge every attack except 2

[warped gulch]

The only reason i dont use Chase bc

He doesn’t have caked

[thin wren]

Lear fans are also slightly more devoted to making Lear the goat so we don't mind the rng

[warped gulch]

And i’ll not cake him

[thin wren]

I thought you hated the rng

[teal haven]

Only psychic strike ex

[warped gulch]

Bc i’m overload with ton of Sup/Sprint already

[rapid sparrow]

Mine is not caked or EX'd

[thin wren]

isn't he a top 6 support in general?

[warped gulch]

Did you see my run, that took me more than 1h30m btw

[thin wren]

Only?

that's low

you have godly rng

[warped gulch]

I just dont care about him that much tbh

I dont pull him, just got him from mix daily

[thin wren]

Oo

also wtf.

HOW are you so lucky with mix

I only get dupes from mix usually

[warped gulch]

I’m kinda lucky with daily in general

SSS

I got 5 of him just from
Daily

[thin wren]

my daily luck is also insane at least

[thin wren]

???

I only got kabu to 2/5 from dailies and you got 5/5 SSS

[warped gulch]

SS Morty too

[thin wren]

wish this guy was more useful outside lg

[warped gulch]

He is 5/5 and 3 from daily

[thin wren]

can I borrow your luck for a week pls@warped gulch

[normal parcel]

I guess 20% from blue passive is really impactful when you have no sync multiplier besides the innate and the lucky skill

[thin wren]

how many dodges did your Steven 3.5 mil take again

[warped gulch]

3

[thin wren]

chase multiplier is bigger

[thin wren]

Lear really is a lot less rng than Steven huh

[normal parcel]

But chase doesn't reduce spdef to -2 AOE on sync

[thin wren]

problem with chase is you kinda need to dodge all but 2 attacks for him to give more value

chase gives better evasion

so you can dodge aoe attacks

[normal parcel]

Plus circle takes time, getting hit takes time too

[thin wren]

don't get hit.

circle you can use after 1:21 so it lasts the entire battle

[normal parcel]

But I guess -2 spdef and 20% passive is still better than circle at neutra spdef

[thin wren]

chase is better in theory but requires a lot of rng to pull off

[thin wren]

it isn't. Circle is still slightly bigger

chase is just a lot more rng

[normal parcel]

How much is circle? 20%

[thin wren]

so fewer people will use him

[thin wren]

1.2x

different from 20%

[normal parcel]

Blue passive is 15% assuming sp3 or 16.6% assuming cs2

Then add -2 spdef

[thin wren]

it's like 35% iirc

the circle

[thin wren]

no nc rosa I assume

[normal parcel]

The circle is 1.2x blue passive is 1.15x under optimal circumstances

[thin wren]

@warped gulch have you seen anyone pass 3.7 mil with SSS

[normal parcel]

But add -2 spdef and blue gives more

[plush palm]

nope

[vast glade]

He is. No regrets pulling and heavily investing on him. Here is hoping he starts getting alts

[normal parcel]

Don't know how much damage increase is -2 spdef

[warped gulch]

Idk, but my gears is garbage btw

[thin wren]

chase wouldn't have such a big gap over blue of blue gave bigger mults

[warped gulch]

Yep

Garbage

[thin wren]

I'd say 4 mil is possible even without godly gears but it would be funny if Steven doesn't beat lussa's old score

[warped gulch]

Ofc he can

Just better gears

[normal parcel]

Generally circle is much better because blue passive is additive to inflated sync multipliers but Steven has nothing to inflate it besides lucky skill

[thin wren]

is lussa a confirmed dps is better than sync rushing unit now?

[thin wren]

it would be funny if he doesn't

he definitely can but idk if someone will

[pallid girder]

Funny that after a rotation SS Steven might beat SS Lusa without any kit update but just a different strat.

[vast glade]

We are talking about Chase and he was just in Pokémon Center after I finish the daily grindy chores lol

[normal parcel]

Yes steven didn't got anything new, is just that psychic was the 1st stage, so people didn't knew the optimal starts

[vast glade]

So Steven isn't bait anymore?

[normal parcel]

Still inferior to Lear

[vast glade]

So he IS bait

[normal parcel]

1st rotation Lear wasn't an option so it had the potential to be king

Sadly Steven realized about his potential too late

[pallid girder]

Arc Steven:

[normal parcel]

Is more that Steven used to be the og tech strike, before exr was even a thing, but now it got powercrept by the proper tech strike

[azure vine]

no dc gems?

[warped gulch]

Tbf go from 2m to 3.5m still huge for me

[normal parcel]

No more

[azure vine]

sad

[normal parcel]

Gems count goes even lower

[misty forge]

No?

He's barely in top 10

If at all

Oh tf

• tierlist

Zzzz

He's in 6th place on spark's but it's really a matter of perception and playstyle

I really don't see him being remotely as relevant as most of the top 15

[rain mango]

I can't achieve more than 580k points

Truly a skill issue

[warped gulch]

Who do you use ?

[rain mango]

Zapdos Lapras Deoxys

1/5 deoxys

[thin wren]

he's definitely the most unique among the Uber supports

[warped gulch]

Deoxys doesn’t have sync multiplier in grid anyway

How many Sync you did total ?

https://youtu.be/XRo3tu4fDZA?si=HeyeWZoV1A9iNkP0

[brazen dew]

Even 1/5 deoxys gets 1m

Even though i didnt crit all

Chase + melony

[teal harness]

wait really? I tried with bp barry and nc rosa, didnt get that, I did 500k I think

my main psychic strikers + ss steven are all 1/5 lol

[sturdy pebble]

I was looking at the doc like "bruh, we really did this shit?"

[thin wren]

why bp barry. No redlax or chase or nc blue?

[teal harness]

none of these, saving for nc blue rn

I got ss lana, luSSa and ss steven, nc rosa too, all ex and caked

[misty forge]

Definitely not

[thin wren]

he doesn't have nearly as much defensive focus but a lot of accel and general damage boost through special circle

[copper otter]

Lmfao.

I could have gotten another sync in if i had 4/5

[fluid anvil]

how does 4/5 help get another sync?

[misty forge]

Yeah having circle is unique in a technical way as no other Uber has it as of now, but the rest of his kit is extremely bland

[copper otter]

No stat on field stops snatch spam

Meaning more time to spam sing

[fluid anvil]

that doesnt work

[copper otter]

?

[fluid anvil]

you will still need 3x snatch at 4/5

[copper otter]

No you don't

[teal harness]

next is single fighting, finally nc hop's time to shine

[sacred badger]

i dont know how you guys can get ss steven to 3m at all D:

[misty forge]

You'll still need to steal sides

[fluid anvil]

the stat buff block can only work AFTER the enemy has already buffed

[misty forge]

Ye

[copper otter]

.....

[fluid anvil]

its on first successful snatch use, not on any first snatch use

[copper otter]

Pain

[thin wren]

for 5 Lear syncs you need 2 dodges minimum

[copper otter]

I was at 20 seconds for next sync, but EQ ruined that time

[thin wren]

Dodge

(one of the reasons chase is better)

[copper otter]

just dodge

[thin wren]

Simply dodge smth

for some reason getting 2 dodges and snatch mpr took 45 minutes

[copper otter]

Also. Screw dena for not giving us gems on rerun

[thin wren]

am I out of top 5 yet

[copper otter]

Now i have no incentive to do single target ever again

[thin wren]

Monthly gem counts will drop by 900 now

[misty forge]

It was higher than that compared to last year anyway

So at least we're not going down

And we know more new shit is coming

[sturdy pebble]

Is SS Steven or Lusamine better this rotation?

[sturdy pebble]

I'm NOT looking forward to that

[thin wren]

sss should be better but no one has beat lussa's previous 3.7 mil yet

the best one rn is lesr

[true locust]

Ss steven is the best:)

[copper otter]

Spheal spotted.

[thin wren]

*Lear

[true locust]

Wat lear? Who is thet🫢

[rain copper]

Finally i can get a revenge to that stage

[rain copper]

[true locust]

Nc hop time beat my best score😏

[thin wren]

do you have any Steven pics that have more than 3.5 mil score?

[copper otter]

More than 4 mil*

[thin wren]

I am genuinely surprised I haven't seen him hit 4 mil yet

[fluid anvil]

do you have Lear or did you skip him like Cynthia ?

[true locust]

I have him

[thin wren]

he has Lear btw. 5/5 iirc?

how many dodges?@true locust

[true locust]

Alot😂

[warped gulch]

[sturdy pebble]

What do I do if my Hop isn't invested

[true locust]

But i could do 5m whit steven just was unlucky

My fault😂

[teal harness]

same

[thin wren]

is your 5.6 mil Steven or Lear

[true locust]

Lear

[thin wren]

tho Steven reaching 5 mil doesn't seem suprising

[brazen escarp]

what is the best way to poison stall

i got around 45k

[thin wren]

Just suprised no one except you has even crossed 4 mil with him yet

2 dodges only got me this far unfortunately (my circle timing is bad that's why it ran out)

[true locust]

Steven need rosa + 2 eva up para all flinch all

[brazen escarp]

how do i do this?

[true locust]

And alot miss para for 1 more sync

[brazen escarp]

how much should i be able to get by poison stalling

[thin wren]

wouldn't chase be better or is that even more rng

[cloud timber]

bertha lucy ss leaf got like 170k

i think

[true locust]

For steven is best nc blue

[thin wren]

oh right low mults

[brazen escarp]

please tell me

[true locust]

Circle always run out befor last lear sync

[brazen escarp]

i am using lucy

[thin wren]

are tech inates additive or multiplicative

[thin wren]

in some runs it stayed but I didn't get enough dodges for sync 5 in those

[true locust]

Then you did not apply it befor first sync then

Even i got soo many miss para and it run out

[thin wren]

weird, it should last the entire match if it's clicked at 1:21

which is around my Lear first sync

[true locust]

You did 4 sync then

I did 5

I apply over 1:30

[brazen escarp]

please tell

[thin wren]

no I got in 5 otherwise even 4.5 isn't possible

@brazen escarp do you have ss leaf

[brazen escarp]

im using lucy

i dont have ss elaf

i chose ss blue

[thin wren]

I get in a sync every 20 seconds

[brazen escarp]

i dont, i have lucy, so what should i do?

and how much should i be able to get

i got 45k

all of them got badly poisoned on the first hit

[thin wren]

try bertha lucy and bp erika

[fossil tinsel]

What could be my best psychic option?

[brazen escarp]

what do each of those sync pairs do?

[icy pendant]

you’re possibly looking at Caitlin DPS only

[icy pendant]

Please read their kits on pomatools. Each has dot and dot multipliers

[brazen escarp]

and how much dmg would i be able to get

[brazen escarp]

ah ok thanks

[thin wren]

100kish I'd say

[brazen escarp]

alr

i dont think i have any of them other than lucy :(

[fluid anvil]

VoK at 10,5M

[still hearth]

Feel like I could get 1M but idk

[fluid anvil]

I wonder what are his Fire and Ghost scores

[brazen escarp]

i just checked, none of them seem to have a DOT multiplier

[thin wren]

didn't ssrc have 4.5 mil?

[brazen escarp]

unless if it is in the grid

[still hearth]

Stealth Rock, Sandstorm, Entrapment?

[thin wren]

nc leaf got 3.5ish mil iirc and ss diantha can get the remaining 2-2.5 mil

[brazen escarp]

that is a DOT multiplier?

[thin wren]

don't use barry and melony together

[still hearth]

Hmm who should I use then

[brazen escarp]

bertha is a general pool 5 star?

[icy pendant]

They all do, from sync grid

[thin wren]

@fluid anvil btw while SSS is better than lussa on paper there haven't been any 3.5 mil+ pics of him yet so Steven is still technically a fraud rn

[icy pendant]

I believe all of them have multiple multipliers actually

[brazen escarp]

nothing in the sync grid seems to boost the amount of dmg the DOT does, atleast i cant find them

[sturdy pebble]

[cloud timber]

pokey trap and potent toxin are what you're looking for

[thin wren]

pokey trap

[brazen escarp]

ok

where is pokey trap

am i blind

nvm

wrong pair

[cloud timber]

she has it but as innate, not on grid

[brazen escarp]

who?

[still hearth]

Bertha

[brazen escarp]

ok

[vagrant ivy]

anyways someone got 5.6m

pair unknown

[sacred badger]

did you sync with all 3? i still can't get ss steven to work 😭

[vagrant ivy]

also lear is goated what the hell

[brazen escarp]

wow all three have pokey trap

[vagrant ivy]

almost 600k first sync

[fossil tinsel]

[brazen escarp]

who has the potent toxic

toxin

[fossil tinsel]

My other psy are good supports or I should use others ig?

[thin wren]

with bad rng and circle timing btw. Mid gears btw

[cloud timber]

these do, but i'm guessing you don't have any besides potentially oak

[thin wren]

Lear is our glorious king

[vagrant ivy]

yeah I’ll optimize and get him +6 E for snatch mpr next Monday

[brazen escarp]

i have none

how do u get oak?

general pool?

[cloud timber]

event oak is from an event

so if you weren't around he's just not available until it reruns

[vagrant ivy]

what’s the highest reported scores for ss lusa and ss lana as separate DD

[brazen escarp]

i have the wrong agatha 😭

oh well

[thin wren]

ss lussa highest is still 3.7 mil

[cloud timber]

none of them are important if you're lacking ss leaf anyway, wallace would be more important

[thin wren]

I think ss lussa might be a dps is better for her than sync rushing pair

[brazen escarp]

wallace?

[cloud timber]

but bp erika is super accessible so unless you're completely out of bp tickets

milotic

[vagrant ivy]

also colress can technically set up acc debuff for her

[cloud timber]

5* gen pool

[brazen escarp]

what does he do

[vagrant ivy]

toxic and trap

[warped gulch]

Poke trap

[brazen escarp]

ok

[cloud timber]

pokey trap 5 innate pokey trap 1 on grid

[thin wren]

will fighting st comp change at all?

[brazen escarp]

i dont think milotic would have toxic

[cloud timber]

it doesn't

[brazen escarp]

is there like an api for the game where people can see what units i have and whatnot

[finite yew]

is this a good setup? basically trying to maxx out ssteven

[cloud timber]

https://pomasters.github.io/SyncPairsTracker/ you can manually input here but otherwise no

[brazen escarp]

alr

can others see it then?

[icy pendant]

if you export it, yes

[brazen escarp]

so like if someone asks me my roster, i dont have to send a bunch of screenshots

alr

[thin wren]

no

do you have bp barry at 3/5

[finite yew]

yep! I was considering him actually,,,

[fluid anvil]

Lear has now (slightly) beaten NC Reds 3v3 score
Doom must be happy

[thin wren]

Lear best dd now fr fr

Lear is definitely holding back. He could get 8 mil but wants to let others shine

[civic island]

2nd attempt

[thin wren]

how many dodges

can you check if I am still in top 5 ?

I will try to push if I am out of top 5

[civic island]

You're 7th rn

[thin wren]

time to push.

I hope I get better rng

I wish this guy had sun ngl. Would be useful in fire dc for non nc leaf havers trying to use ss Red

[civic island]

I don't recall being a good dodge run, so nothing inpressive
I got acc buff from rosa so spam may have been a bit faster

[thin wren]

2 dodges/para procs are required for 5 syncs iirc

[swift pulsar]

Wait … so we can just use the same teams we used on the first run

[cloud timber]

you can, but we know a bunch of better ones now

[crude sandal]

You technically can, but there are better teams and strats now

[fluid anvil]

DC is kinda boring now 😦 on 2-nd time

need more arcs to shake up the meta

[swift pulsar]

I mean the first cycle of DC not Nemona specifically

[cloud timber]

even if we get that it won't actually fix that problem for long

dc is not a super deep game mode and now that we've seen every rotation once

hard to say how much is left

[swift pulsar]

I think they’ll add more sparring events now

[civic island]

Also, was trying to run this for Cynthia
Missed 5 fkn crits

[fluid anvil]

that score with 5 crits missed ? no way

[civic island]

Yup

[fluid anvil]

that should already be close to max what you can get with that team. You need Yarrdenia to push for 4M.
also why Elio and not Melony ? Do you actually use his AoE attack to fish for SpDef debuffs ?

[long silo]

My gear sucks so definitely happy with this

[fluid anvil]

I want ghost arc to come out soon, so SSRC can also get 5M or more

[civic island]

Yup, my elio has mindgames, same as blue
Woth one elio attack, one blue attack (and sync) got the enemy at -5 spdef, -3 def

[fluid anvil]

interesting

[vagrant ivy]

what’s the best F2P damage dealer and best F2P team for first rotation of DC

I think best DD is colress on st steel but that needs arc steven

so I’m asking for best team

[finite yew]

I’m actually doing worse damage w him and ssteven than I thought, maybe there’s something I’m missing lol

[warped gulch]

Rn is Silver

[sturdy pebble]

Yea I did

[sacred badger]

who sync'd first, nc rosa -> nc blue -> ss steven?

[tender patrol]

Do you think they will add a new DC pair next month?

[cloud timber]

how is that related to the first rotation of dc

[sturdy pebble]

Yep

[cloud timber]

they add a new dc pair every month so yes

still plenty of unused rivals that appear in the mode

[tender patrol]

Probably they will keep on

[hollow whale]

Whoops almost forgot to do this

[finite yew]

regret not getting nc Rosa lol

is there a dollarstore alternative for her role in helping ssteven

[fluid anvil]

just wait for Psychic arc

[cloud timber]

for rebuff no, for sing spam melony is good for rushing syncs

[finite yew]

cant wait for arcsuit calem

[vagrant ivy]

just a reference since new strats could appear later on but it’s not that big of a deal

[cloud timber]

hard to say what damage dealer is best for psychic 3v3

there's caitlin, gio, lucian, olympia, oak

i've only tried lucian and gio but like back on first first rotation

[tender patrol]

What if they start to add rules

[cloud timber]

they already do, it's called ranked

[thin wren]

rdc will continue changing. Tbf dc is supposed to be a monthly ranked mode but we got the regular mode as well

[toxic egret]

i dont rlly understand what bpbarry would bring to the table for ssteven either tbh

[vagrant ivy]

sync spamming

[thin wren]

you don't know about sync spamming I assume?

check the pins

+pins

[wispy pagoda]

See below on how to check channel pins!
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/957144362624634931/1214245497754091570/Pin.mp4?ex=65f8693e&is=65e5f43e&hm=b9d9e7a1a428377ebb0ef122514359d2405dd3f4e0775c17f2146eb06ca90a67&

[toxic egret]

ty lol

[thin wren]

if you are on mobile check like this

[toxic egret]

how necessary is terrain for ssteven too as i only rlly have bianca

[thin wren]

Bianca should be enough

[finite yew]

I was not familiar w his game either but yeah most of the damage comes from ssteven’s sync

[olive wraith]

bianca is always useful

[toxic egret]

didnt even know there was another bianca lmao

[brazen escarp]

where is the DC rotation

[sturdy pebble]

[brazen escarp]

thaks

[copper otter]

I just realized....

I got 3.1 nil with moltres.

Her lucky skill...... was vigilance.

[brazen escarp]

yay fighting dc tomorrow

[copper otter]

[brazen escarp]

unfortunately single target

[copper otter]

Not tomorrow

Tuesday

[brazen escarp]

i mean

next

[brazen escarp]

my new rei will finally get a test

which barry is the one in pins

btw which bp units should i target

[still hearth]

Most likely BP Barry

[still hearth]

If your going to be tackling DC Content, then Barry and Roserade should be your first choice

[brazen escarp]

is there like a tier list for it?

where it also tells their uses

[vagrant ivy]

at least he made the million

[fossil tinsel]

Wait which unit is BP Barry?

[brazen escarp]

MEWTWO

i will probably only get like 150k tho

:p

[still hearth]

BP Barry.. it’s in the name, you get him from the BP tickets

[cloud timber]

roserade

[fossil tinsel]

Oh

[still hearth]

https://discord.com/channels/583120259708616715/1081146958862897272 this could help but it hasn’t been updated in some time, anywho you could look up the pairs kits using PomaTools

[misty forge]

Rei kinda shit for 3v1

Chop better

[brazen escarp]

thats only 5*

[brazen escarp]

who he

[cloud timber]

thinking best f2p for gio is elio and dc blue

[brazen escarp]

he is like my only good fighting

also ik he not that good for 3v1

i wish it was 3v3

but eh

[toxic egret]

what build is best on bp barry for dc btw

[cloud timber]

charging infliction and team pinpoint entry is all you need

[copper otter]

I might push harder. But top 21 was all i wanted tbh.

[still hearth]

[cloud timber]

but unbending and stalwart can help, just not this time

[toxic egret]

sick thx

[brazen escarp]

does LB give u rewards?

[copper otter]

LB?

[brazen escarp]

who is chop

[copper otter]

Champion Hop

[brazen escarp]

leaderboard

[copper otter]

No, only titles

[vagrant ivy]

I’ll take it for 1/5

[brazen escarp]

ok

[brazen escarp]

?

[still hearth]

Champion Hop & Galarian Zapdos

[brazen escarp]

ok

[vagrant ivy]

last reran in the week right before fifth anni

expect him back by 2026 at the earliest

[copper otter]

Champion hop

[brazen escarp]

ok

[vagrant ivy]

he’s… a unit for sure

[sturdy pebble]

My 1/5 Hop will not get me anywhere

[misty forge]

My boy

[misty forge]

I mean he can drop speed and Def + offer zone

[still hearth]

My 0/5 Hop will get me through this

[sturdy pebble]

Still not getting me to 1 mill

[vagrant ivy]

fighting has zero f2p tech units period

Riley will probably have to carry again

[misty forge]

That's a you problem

Not the unit's

[sturdy pebble]

Rei can get to one mill?

[brazen escarp]

idk

its 1/5 only

i doubt

atleast 250k-500k

which is plenty for me

(i hope)

[misty forge]

Kid named brawly:

Shist 2.4mil sync on that man, without ex

If he gets ex he can actually work

[brazen escarp]

what

the hell

[misty forge]

Not 2.4mil ingame

On the calc

[cloud timber]

oh yeah that sounded very not right

he's comparable to brendan since single grid multiplier but worse stats no mega and worse multiplier to max which is basically relentless x2 and ofc no ex

[sturdy pebble]

[brazen escarp]

would gloria work well for single target fighting

[brazen escarp]

how did does rei get more lol

[cloud timber]

yeah she's good at everything she's on type for

going to bed, can't answer more questions for now

[misty forge]

Gloria is really good for her 3 ST fights

[sturdy pebble]

The top one is 3v1, bottom is 3v3

[brazen escarp]

ah ok

[brazen escarp]

alr gn

[thick stump]

i hate no status spam! i hate no status spam!

[misty forge]

Single target on top with bad strat, Vs aoe bottom with sing spam

[brazen escarp]

k thanks, also have her 3/5 so thats good

[rapid sparrow]

Whats the best psychic team so far?

[brazen escarp]

ok

[copper otter]

Do you have Oleana?

[thick stump]

nope

[copper otter]

If not, rip gotta use aaron or ss steven

[thick stump]

no ssteven either

sucks too cuz gordie cant even proc scorching sync

[brazen escarp]

yea no

[rapid sparrow]

Rosa SSTeven NC Blue/Chase?

[brazen escarp]

i added so many buffs

and yet

are these the various rolls

[pearl dawn]

@latent plover hi bestie.

[brazen escarp]

explain please :p

[sacred badger]

?

[brazen escarp]

it was for this dmg challenge

i think challenge ho[

hop*

[misty forge]

Wrong grid and upgrade level

[brazen escarp]

i maxed out sync buffs

max move level

20/20

5*

+6 atk

max crit

-6 def

[sacred badger]

what are you trying to tackle?

[brazen escarp]

the Super Sparring event the rock one

[brazen escarp]

how 1200 power

[sacred badger]

rock one? with a fighting sync pair?

first things first, you can only deal super effective damage

[misty forge]

You didn't punch in Def drops

[brazen escarp]

we were just discussing something else

[sacred badger]

anything else is 0 damage.

oh for fighting single?

[brazen escarp]

ys

[brazen escarp]

wdym, i gave the opponent -6 def

[misty forge]

You clearly didn't

[cursive linden]

Is SS Steven better than SS Lusamine rn?

[thin wren]

should be but there's no photo evidence yet

[cursive linden]

I'll try both

[misty forge]

Needs near perfect rng while Lussa needs barely any iirc

[snow raptor]

Is there a vid with a high score for Cynthia / Yardenia / Colress somewhere ? 🤔

[cursive linden]

For SS Steven, does he use Cosmic Power spam?

[thin wren]

no

nc blue Rosa

[cursive linden]

Oh ok

[still hearth]

Finally I got 1M

[vernal condor]

you should be getting more than that

[still hearth]

I should?

[warped gulch]

SS Lusa = Cailtin confirm

[vernal condor]

at least 1.5m i think

[warped gulch]

Yeah, that how much Caitlin score too

[crude sandal]

Unless you don't like to roll for MPR on LuSSa

[still hearth]

Oh I don’t even have Mpr on her grid What should her grid be?

[cursive linden]

What's SS Lusamine's team?

[warped gulch]

SS Lana and Rosa

[vernal condor]

that didnt change uh

[cursive linden]

Aww fuck i dont have SS Lana

[warped gulch]

Nah, bc i didn’t see any new team of her yet

So i just bring her best old team

[cursive linden]

What's SS Lusa's best grid without using Hide and Sync?

[warped gulch]

I remember that is her best score

[vernal condor]

idt nc blue nc rosa is doing more

[warped gulch]

3.7m

Yeah

Her dps just good

Meanwhile Steven very love Sync spamming

Jump from 2m to 3.5m

[misty forge]

Bro put +3 rebuff

[cursive linden]

[misty forge]

And no fighting weakness

• wrong grid

[brazen escarp]

yea i forgot that mb

[brazen escarp]

to buff dmg :p

[copper otter]

Hello @safe prawn

[brazen escarp]

i just got the sync move buffs

[misty forge]

+3 is augmenting the fighting type resistance

Not reducing it

:p

[misty forge]

You didn't get +30 atk

Which is huge

[cursive linden]

Uhhh ok

[misty forge]

Just DPS

It's better

I did this first try

[thin wren]

adam said he got 4 mil

[cursive linden]

I shouldn't spam Mirror Shit right?

[warped gulch]

[cursive linden]

So that means i shouldnt use Hide and Sync grid

right?

[warped gulch]

Yes

It is awful

[fluid tendon]

Is there a bigger score disparity between SS Lusa and Lear or Morty and SSR Cynthia? I have one strike cake to use before both rotations end but I'm not sure who to use it on

[cursive linden]

Alrighty

That was fun, even though SS Steven does higher

[vagrant ivy]

lear gaming

[warped gulch]

Now SSS is better than SS Lusa

In every way

[vagrant ivy]

rest in peace

dethroned the moment the second run began

[fluid anvil]

why, how much did he score?

[warped gulch]

4M

[cursive linden]

[fluid anvil]

where?

[crude sandal]

Can SS Steven outdamage LuSSa?

[warped gulch]

By Adam

[crude sandal]

Prolly not right?

[vernal condor]

pyp i wanted to copy your ss steven team but im too lazy to reset for relic song eva buff lol

[cursive linden]

How many Cosmic Power does he need for full power innate?

[warped gulch]

I mean with garbage gears i still score 3.5M with SS Steven

[vagrant ivy]

he does very well on 3v3 for a unit without strike EX or EXR
looks at passive
oh right

[vernal condor]

0 in theory

1 if relic song raises speed or spa lol

[cursive linden]

[vagrant ivy]

relic song eva buff is how I get 5 syncs with lear

[cursive linden]

Nice run for 1/5 units

[warped gulch]

Imagine having god gears

[plain surge]

[vagrant ivy]

here’s mine

[cursive linden]

Yeah but your NC Blue/Rosa has Adrenaline

[snow raptor]

Out of curiosity, why not use the psychic unit special gear ? its what i usualy do

[cursive linden]

[warped gulch]

Lazy ofc

[snow raptor]

🤝 relatable

( meanwhile i do 1M4 with the same team BTW hahaha )

[vagrant ivy]

I like to collect my feathers

[warped gulch]

Imagine knowing reroll gears trick and not using it

Hey that me

[vernal condor]

the trick is so slow and too rng

just sucks

[snow raptor]

i legit don't know how can peoplehave the patience / mental to do that tbh

[vagrant ivy]

me neither

[snow raptor]

reroling skill " the normal way " is already causing me anxiety just by thinking about it

[vagrant ivy]

I barely have enough patience to reset for Rosa mind games 2 on b move

[vernal condor]

para with discharge
mind games with discharge
mind games with relic song
eva buff with relic song

[cursive linden]

5/5 Steven with HS 1 on Grid?

Not again....

[vagrant ivy]

nc blue problems

[warped gulch]

Just need more dodge

[vernal condor]

hs1 isnt mandatory at all

[vagrant ivy]

me who runs chase: 👀

[vernal condor]

im picking the sync node instead

[vagrant ivy]

it’s not mandatory if you just dodge more…

easier said than done

[neat burrow]

Anyone got a good setup for Barry? I have a 3/5 ex R Diantha but I can’t figure out how people are breaking 1 mil with Aaron/SC Steven or Aaron/Aura Cynthia(3/5 ex R)

[vagrant ivy]

soften up 1 is never mandatory just crit more

[warped gulch]

For me he just doesn't have much stuff to pick

[vernal condor]

Ok without the extra head start the 1st rotation is awkward

[warped gulch]

Yeah

Time to give Blue HS1

[vernal condor]

rosa buffing evasion challenge

[safe prawn]

Good morning to you

Don’t know if I wanna deal with my ncleaf not critting

[copper otter]
