#Damage Challenge

That’s so silly
should be Adrenaline 1
The jump in points between best and 2nd best recorded clears is insane
isn't ground over 7M?
maybe 
His Multi sync SE Up is the only good thing in his kit
(he would be better if he had an actual innate)
i think arc leon is the best on type dd in the game
too bad he’s so underwhelming offtype
Sure, depends wht u mean by dd
Like his B move is single target
Then its just inferno dps
I missed a crit deep into the run. Left about 160-170k on the table.
Do we know how that 3.4m was managed, was it really just the super awakening increased sync multiplier?
My Diantha syncs 6 times with cracked gear and I think I peak at 2.4 maybe
why not singer?
I'm following the doc like I was told to
she might regain it with SS Ingo + Lillie, if they can give an extra sync 
if not, oh well. Maybe a sinnoh physical circle pair would help later
All the high scores I'm seeing aren't even in the doc
Thats a 3/5?

Super hyped for HLillie at least. Probably the best Redlax partner if you aren't relying on Elio for his buffs at all
HLillie = Melony erasure.
If your DD isn't relying on Melony/Elio's buffs, HLillie should be better, no question
I think Chase will still dominant special dd so you don't really ever need Melony's buff.
Eva is just too valuable in this mode.
Never 
Chase and Hol.Lillie

1 team to beat 100000 players' total scores
Marnie no cake?
My marnie is lv 89😂
Budget version haha
Nah was something wrong whit damage
I did like 100k more main then mids
Wat was kinda wat the hell
I really should mess around with SS Ingo as a spammer at some point, I have him at 3/5 so I can reset for TMR
use sunny day?
Can yoy show me top1-3 scores in leader board dc
Since i cant check🤣
Have only 1 complete haha
NO1 2031 NO2 1737 NO3 1551
20m alredy not bad
I love how we make fun of Arc Leon for him being a DD only and won't be above NC Leaf/SS Hilda team
And now he deals 9M+
If his sync was not burn but we can say haymaker and sun multi
Easy 15m
Burn just slow it down all run
And why you in grass fish for 3 hop tm? For super up next in grid any reason
need 10 Move Booster B move
time enough for me
But you use then max countdown?
Since i saw same acceleration like on marnie g max you use
yes
Hmm wat is your hop grid can you show me?
Lol you have super sync and his tm?
Not better use each tmp befor each sync
Then no need for sync can pick max coundown
It won't let me cross 3M
At this point, if we get 10 mil in one battle. we beat the game.
also will never touch DC with fire ever again.
Normal players: get 10M at best in total in super sparring
Top players: get 10M ALONE in one stage in super sparring
new damage cap when 
Please just get to 10 mil now at this point. we're so close.
if only Arc Leon was that good outside of DC 
People hitting millions with Arc Leon when I can't even break 3M with Mix Blue
Missed the very last Crit. Hit at 313k and the last time that I did Crit hit a 514k.
So yeah my estimate of 2.4m seems to be correct, well if crits and damage rolls allow it
lmfao 1/5??
i was thinking of candying hop but like if he can do this at 1/5 nevermind 
granted adaman is doing a lot of heavy lifting but he’s ALSO 1/5 loooool
i used max guard w oleana too at the end so i could use his b move twice
2nd one did like 300k total (100k to each)
very nice
damn that stage for starting w earthquake so i can’t use adaman’s synthesis twice
We desperately need a pity system or something for skill gear
I just used 100 2* pink gear and 100 2* green gear and walked away with nothing
I tend to use the Ever pin before devulging into skill gear crafting
it at least leaves me with something of value
I'd loooooooove to do that as well
Here's the thing
I have zero 🫠
And I really do not want to blow the last 20 5* power-ups on one
I think it's a terrible deal
How do people get ever pins so consistently? Is there an exchange besides the one for 20 power-ups?
only new master fair/Arc fair events provide a free one
Oh
That's where I got my one I used
Goddamn it
Now I'm here with no medals
No better gear
And still not at 3M in triple fire
so far, the best teams have all had the Valar trio
Fire: VMarnie/Arc Leon/SS Ingo
Grass: Adaman / VHop / Oleana
Water: Chase / VBede / Melony iirc
Another missed crit. Overall it's fairly easy, getting the flinch at the beginning lines up your gauge perfectly for the entire fight. In fact the double paralysis proc threw me off.
Lillie will make this easier when it reruns. Right now it's very tight, you need a paralysis/dodge or your sing has to succeed much more than it misses. The very small time gain adds up especially in a 8 sync run.
Skill gear used 42%, 80tk
Missed 1 crit
If there was i would have at least 8-9 types covered with +15% min already
I've been grinding feathers since the day they dropped
Haha what do you mean 9,1M on a DC battle ^^ ??
I can't even get 3M still 😭
This is not fair, SMH my head
Imagine next UB has DC design
For its 6 first moves it only uses weak stuff and doesn't have much gauge, but the 1st sync will definitely kill you. And it has like 2m HP 
thats just Palmer 
Palmer keeps using move tho
Palmer with no gauge, only a 3 gauge move, 0 in attack so the moves don't kill us, no sides, and a "Sync: KO" passive or smth
no stat raise, no item whatsoever even, just earthquake or smth
it'd be very cool if DC swaps things areound and makes it so that the opponent has increased damage each time they attack and has resilience instead of a time limit
so when you're KOed, that's when the game will say your final total damage
That just becomes long stall and potion mpr bs
is it stall if damage just becomes a one shot at that point?
depends on how much it increases per move
but then it's the same as a timer
except the timer is when they use the move that will definitely kill, instead of an actual timer
think of it similarly to power on hit 1 and 2. with symc move boost params on CS
You can survive that quite a long time
more damage 
like, keep this variant of DC, but something like this would mix things up
Anyone that can replace Blue? I got 3/5 Diantha but I do like below a quarter of your damage 😞
Oops
Meant to reply
To
This
Do you have Red?
No 😭
😁

Hmm so no nc Blue or Redlax. Have SC Steven?
Hmm let me mess around with something. Give me a bit I'll ping you if I get something
This was with basic rock gear and meh damage rolls If you have any skill gear it would push you past it into the million. A paralysis is not required but it's very tight if you don't get it.
Dana buffs the last two crits.
This also assumes you used field Roll cake on Diantha and EX the Dana. If you have Headstart for Dana and Barry that actually makes this simple
I did not have the HS1 on Dana. I'm out of cookies. Barry does have it
i actually have no idea what my best option on fire is
if they gave anni n his goddamn ex role i'd know what to do...
used melony on water already looooool
i'm gonna go for nc leaf at the end of the month
but this will be over by then obv
elio will be fine then, ss morty isn't the most efficient at providing gauge anyway
or nc rosa
Oh how I hate crit rng
OMG FINALLY I RECREATED THE 1M ON SS HILDA
I got slightly higher 
mfw the single target is the highest score
hilda can be improved if i fish for more than 1 burn off searing shot… dunno if i wanna do that tho
i used colress and hit 2.2m
weirdly enough aaron might not be a bad idea if you have exr ssmorty

i dont think she really needs burn mult
mine does enough w/ just rising tide and super syncer
my victini is exr tho
morty isnt
ok im really stupid i forgot super sync applies after every sync not just the first one
super sync aplies to every sync after the first
super syncer is the one that's only one time
yea that one's super sync 9
You literally have hostile environment
OKAY FINALLYY
Now to improve my grass weak score
2 support coins until 3/5 chase, missed final crit on my run but i'll go back to improve then
can fit in more smun for b move too
Would this work?
morgan isn't doing much, master passive doesn't apply to syncs
maybe whatever gives as much gauge as possible would help for maxing out sync power flux but you may be lacking in support ex that accomplishes that
Would egg leafeon be better for grassy terrain?
Ooh I forgot that the eggmons were an option
If you plan to use Barry, no
gonna end up being dana
But other while, good bc free 50% dmg boost
she does help aaron's setup
I guess yeah there’s the healing animation

parameter for grass is no status so no barry
I forgot about that
So leafeon might work? Sync rushing might take longer with all the hits you’re taking tho
if aaron was ex leafeon would be viable
Goddamnit how tf did I get 200k the last time 😭
NO I RESET MY 866k SCORE WITH BEDE
I’ll take 800k……
What if I candy Sonia for this 
Actually no
I’m almost at 2 strike candies and I can probably use them on better pairs like SS Serena or NC Marnie

Nope
rip
and yeah generally recommended to not candy exclusively for dc
unless you can rule out literally every other possible use for it
as less wanted options
I’ll just wait till next week ig 
Ill EX Brendan then
Don’t really mind if I EX him currently cause I have no other EX candidates I personally wanna Ex
pretty decent grass damage dealer all around if you're currently relying on 2/5 sc sonia
Yup only good grass type I’ve got other than SS Erika (which is also 2/5)
2/5 could probably hit 1mil with NC Blue
set melony as tank and you'll get her reactive passive proc'ing less, you shouldn't need the missing speed with her mgas
use her potion and she'll provide mga
Ah true I forgot about that
Are you proccing burn too? I’ve only been able to get to 1M with SS Hilda, SS Morty and BP Barry
Or maybe it’s because I’m using only 1 support sync
Ahh you have her EXR
yeah
Man, I cannot hit 1 Mil with SS Diantha and not sure why
Have +100 atk, 11% gear multipliers, 5/5 Diantha... oi
Maybe you can try this
she really wants exr
having to set rock zone takes so much time
make sure her sp def is buffed, its easy to forget
there's always videos in the clear sheet in the pins
Do you have Zapdos or Snorlax, both can enable 1 millions pretty easily. If not Soloris pointed to a Dana team I did for him with basic gear as a proof of concept. Also the clear sheet in the pins
Then your execution is the problem
In the sheet you should see my run, to summarize fish for the flinch at the start.
Execution does seem to be my weakest point, so thanks. I did know at the very least to fish for the flinch. I'll keep trying
#1255888121648644197 message
You missed crits? Should be higher my run had basic rock gear.
Ahh maybe I should run rock gear
Nope, I don’t believe I did
I mean I scored half that with 1/5 Diantha and I think mine was on the low end of 1/5's ranges
Oh I see your gear is not maxed
over level 3 type gear it is
The skill gear is beter
Finally hit it, thank you @dry whale
Would have done a little better if not for a last second burn, lol
Ughhh it seems i can only get to around 600k
Maybe I should grid Trip Wire 1?
Oh wait I’ve been using Rock Tomb to lower his speed
diantha gives you -4 for free
Yes I just noticed that
When entering battle and mega evolving right?
yeah you take one sync at -4 and then smooth sailing from there
That's what I use
Gonna attempt the fire challenge today this team looks good or needs adjustment?
No spammer?
Tackle? Or that doesn’t count
still too slow
Ok BP Barry should fix it (maybe) just get the burn then spam stun spore
your silver is ex no pb?
either way no burn multipliers so paralysis is better
burn ticks take up a lot of time
K
although Colress is probably better than Barry here since Silver's sync is physical
especially if Barry is not already EX
Okay I got higher thisntime
Was able to sneak in one more sync at 00:00:99
I probably could’ve done more but Diantha didn’t crit on 2nd sync
Ok managed to make enough points for all the role and cake coins!
Im not worried about the rest of the rewards
Yeah, it’s recommended for people not invested in Super Sparring to just get the points for coins and stuff anyways
Yeah the top score means nothing to me lmao. I just always take any chance to stalk up on coins
I like to make my tickets have a 0 digit in the end but it's actually hard to manage lol
i was at a multiple of 300 somewhat recently, was nice while it lasted
HELL YEAH
Seems like my highscore streak ends with Fairy 3v3 Weak
It was good while it lasted 
You don't have BP Valerie?
Yes but not Ex’d
I should get decently high though
This was when I didn’t know what I was doing in Dc
Now that Ik what im doing it should get higher
- Now I have an EXR Wally
The current highest rock st is 3.46M, presumably 9/5 or 10/5 SS Diantha.
So can I safely assume 9/5 vs 5/5 is 1M difference?
also thinking chase + ss ingo could be at play
Waiting for HLillie shaking meta next reset tho I won't pull.
i don't even have a slot for her this super sparring lol
need elio/dahlia/aaron as my spammers
Best Cakewalk enabler 
how's the b move animation?
Surely takes time but not as bad as AltElio's.
If opponents alr at -6 spe it's Rexlax level I feel.
ah nice
What are you supposed to do for grass weak lol 
BP barry is just useless in no status rule.
Even sth like Dana will be better than him
I would probably use someone that boosted def and sp def both by at least 4 stages at once
Brendan?
Imagine if status immunity stages was basically easier sing spam lol, but I guess DeNA accidentally made it not work
Could an old unit really be that good?
Better question: is 1M-able consider good for you?
Yes
What role does Dawn serve here?
Faster Aaron setup and +6 speed for Brendan
Also has +3 self evasion when she syncs
Very similar result with SC Steven. Probably could have done a bit better with +6 speed but I can take this
Rank 902, so I'm happy with that
This is literally "have ArcLeon; otherwise bad ranking" dc lol.
Nah, it's more like have V. Marnie and SS Ingo
i'm 196 rn which is my best by far in super sparring without a whole lot of stuff
past 6m
I should probably work on the super sparring event scores first but
what do for rock
(Red line drawn on = EXR'd lol)
I assume it's either Diantha or Kukui
you have 5 less days for rock than super sparring so
It's Gordie for you.
1/5 SS Diantha is not gonna do good, and Kukui is just BAD as a sync nuker.
yeah even with ex kukui he's not going much over 300k from what i could figure out
likely comes down to his trip up tile and just doing it with gordie
unless you have sc steven
I do not I fear
scorching sync is the only skippable mult
I have dojo gloria lol
Oh with hot to the touch for the status ig
Gotcha
Do I have to cap Gordie's Crit with three of his TM though lol
yeah
If you're using Gloria then yes. Some teammates don't require tho.
Redlax Elio for example.
Btw sorry to tell you he needs to crit all sync to get 1M, which is not a pleasant experience.
I'll live without 1M
Rock st is just sooooo poor.
Well for f2p ST Rock is way better than other ST
yeah gordie is quite good for an accessible option for single target
Any suggestions on what to do with Elio in the opener since I can't sing yet?
TM wouldn't help at all since Gordie maxes his attack anyways right
Oh right uh
The max move
Do I pop it right at the end for big damage on the initial hit?
after final sync yeah
you have a bunch of turns for heat wave to proc a burn from hot to the touch on the enemy
while you're setting up stats and debuffing speed
so elio is not doing anything until sing and other than sing
Given the scuffed setup, I'll take this being the result
I thiiiink I critted everything first try lol
Well, after the first try that got httt and the mpr when I needed them to
Yes but for all options considered it's prob tied with Grass st as the worst st score (the best score now (3.4M) is prob with 9 or 10/5 Daintha, but with only 5/5 it's 2~M at most).
Also Grass st unit don't require crit chance to get 1M even for f2p.
I tried to compile a list of units that can obtain 1 million damage on both 3 v 3 and 3 v 1 stages
The tricky part was trying to separate the damage dealers from the supports
I.E. NC Bianca and Arc Steven are both quite prominent in Fighting and Steel DC stages but as support units rather than the main damage dealing units
This is based off the clears sheet document, so I can definitely imagine more being added once they get the opportunity to take part in their type specific stages
I.E. Arc Leon in Fire 3v1 or a striker unit that could get 1 million on 3v1 but hasn’t gotten the chance to take part in the 3v3 stage
5/5 ss lysandre counts, even archie (dps) surprisingly
5/5 ss hilbert should be able to 1m every type he hits se
I got Rei 5/5 to 1m on the first Fighting 3v1
No recording of that sadly
But I was able to record Mix Red on 3v1 Grass so he qualifies too
wut why so many poison clears all of a sudden
Electric: CElesa (can do 3M in MT)
Psychic: SS Steven (barely 1M in ST)
Rock: U Selene, NC Silver + Paulo, Emmet (the latter use DPS in ST)
Ghost: SS Ingo (literally gonna be the best in ST)
Dragon: ArcLance (same as above)
Steel: Summer Tate
Here's are some I just think of.
Does SS Steven need to be 5/5 to get 1M in ST?
4/5 but i actually don't think that 1 additional move level matters.
CElesa prob need 5/5 tho, since one of her sync multipler is there.
Ok, good to know because I do think it’s important to note when a unit needs 5/5 to get 1m damage on either MT or ST stage
tbh there's no need for such a list
everything that gets 1m 1v3 does 3v3, simple as that
When DC was first released I would have agreed but I found that Oleana can get 1m in 1v3 but can’t get 1m in 3v3
Of course that might change if I find that using NC Rosa or H Lillie will allow me to fit in one additional sync with Oleana, making it possible for her to get 1m in both stages
She definitely can do 1v3 in 3v3
without lillie
maybe it's a matter of damage rolls or slightly better gears, but she can
I do hope you’re right because these were my previous attempts
Mostly bc that isn’t optimal team
^
5/5 she can but I only have her 3/5
3/5 she can
Oh, ok then
No one use her 5/5 tiles for optimal run
Right, good to know then
Tbf strikers that can do 1M in ST are worth mentioning bc most ppl won't think of them, though technically many of them need weird teams to work that not familiar in dc.
If I were to guess, you used her Max Move at the start?
That poisoned everyone and made the run too slow
but you need to use it for the rebuff
If you can paralyze two first, then that won't be too much a problem
Right, so ignore the stat debuffs multiplier
The poisoned one can still get it
Thanks
ice single carry
SS Hilbert to Stadium Gloria
You know. I'm not actually sure if 5/5 Rei is necessary, but that's what I have back then 
If 3/5 Rei or even 4/5 Rei can get 1m in 3v1 then I’ll happily remove the 5/5 note
Oh I did have Mighty Command by then. That may have pushed it 
With bianca's help though
Thank you for the confirmation
Ok, good to know but if NC Bianca is needed then that would be a caveat
MF and PF units without cake:
MF: Anni N, Anni Steven (and Ash but I doubt he will ever get cake)
PF: Alder, Gloria, Marnie, Victor, Nemona (and 4* Rachel, Sawyer, and Tina)
Can we have past seasonals to gain exr after those are finished?
Good joke
I want to have faith!
I want variety units to get cake after MF and PF all get their cakes
It feels wrong that Kanto Variety Eeveelutions are the only Variety Eeveelutions without Support cake
Support EXR SC Steven. 
Who to use 3/5 Arc Leon with besides SS Ingo and VMarnie? 
NC Leaf
did arc leon reach 10m?
No
Melony
based on the scores of the top two, it can be inferred that someone has already reached 10M.
Did you try same like leon on grass sync adaman also?
Adaman then oleana?
Is Gordie my best option? I have red lax, NC blue, and chase. Please ping me
SS Diantha could be used if you're willing to give her candy
Oh that's not an issue I have 300 of the coins
What is the best option to run her with? I presume cake her too...she has cake role I think.
Champion Blue and Melony are needed if you want the best score
And yes, her best run has her cake'd
I guessing this grid?
Finally doing my attempt, and 👁️ 👄 👁️
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
no 10/5 oleana,no enough time
Thanks! I'm going to guess blue paralysis and use TM. Melody just sings and don't use diancie TM until after sync? Or will she want to set rock zone and use b move to lower stats
Missed 4th crit. Idk if I'll try hard for the supposed 6th sync that this allows but I'll manage if I don't lol. That said I don't think this is my actual team at all (might be Steven/Barry)
I play lg alot so have still over 1000+ delux cookies. Do you have your grass run recorded? Since i don’t get when you use hop tm. My i barrely pass 3m🤣
5,1m just cs2? Lol do you have good gears?
gear is 95+9%
Lol high score just for it. Mean i do something wrong🤣
And why you have no turbo turf but max move aceleration? Its better
What should I be doing with diancie? I'm lost when I'm supposed to use her TM.
?
Please ping me
Does she just rock tomb twice and not set rock zone and does she ignore her TM until after she syncs or before? I'm lost....I can't get any diancie sync until 1 minute left. Please ping me
Thanks
Now i got it🤣
Lol i can tell you 🙂 You realy good in dc mode
Do you have her EXR?
Yup
can you show your arc Leon score?
Then there’s no need to activate rock zone
She already does it when she syncs
So just use her rock tomb to lower speed and use her other TM before she syncs?
Gimme a second
But i only did water 🙂 rest i quit befor points:) just test it out
Fire i now all things
Only grass is annoing stage😂
Tommorow will test h lilie whit nc serena maybe improve my 3,5m score
Interesting will be
I did this yes. Two Rock Tomb and then her TM. I do have Trip Twice gridded for that
If you use 1 serene rebuff should give extra sync
But not 2 rebuff
Set rebuff its take alot time
just miss all attack ,you can even get 9 sync
Haha miss all never happend
I got 5 sync befor have alot realy miss aoe
Whit serena
If you use 1 rebuff should get one sync
Test it out tomorrow
just look my water video
Oh gotcha that explains it then what I'm doing
in bilibili link
You need give me link for it
Since i can only watch it from it
In eu i don’t have this app
Does Oleana need investment to be used as a spammer?
Yes I believe so since she needs to have Twofer 9 from 5/5
3/5 is enough
If you have someone supply gauge then even 1/5 is enough
Ohh
Oleana as a spammer herself
This also the one i used her as a spammer
The gauge isn’t that horrible
#1255888121648644197 message
Looking at my roster for fairy dc, I've got some awkward investments with no ss wally. I'm thinking of using volo with ss gladion, but I'm unsure whether I should use penny with her low investment and my lack of sync ramping. Is bp barry a better pick? And I'll be getting gladion to 3/5 tomorrow
I'm trying to challenge N, and these are my only water attackers.
Never really figured out how to do these correctly, the most damage I've ever gotten in a dc is 400k.
Holiday Lillie tomorrow
What supports do you have available? Your two best options look like May and SS Misty because of the physical DR, but both of them want a premier special support to set them up fast
If you have NC Blue, then him + Elio + SS Misty should get you close to 500k without EXing Misty
uh… SS Brendan + Elio can work I guess, Brendan brings paralysis and the rest of the buffs that Elio can’t provide, as for which scores higher I think it’s Misty because May’s multipliers are… definitely existent is the best thing I can say about them
So i got Vbede..... what's his team comp again?
Uhh
I got like 866k with VBede, Melony & Sonia
Could probably get 1M with some better supports
Is it just as easy as Chase Melony?
his b move refreshes after every sync but idt its worth using more than twice for the sp def drops
well three times, use it after last sync
Could use the grid tile that gives his max move -3 spdef
Since you’re prob using it anyways
Unless this is 1/5
he missed a crit
Wait, the gauge works ?
barely
banks on catalytic infliction TM mpr
could be seeing 1.3m if I get the final b move and crits
no
the problem with using chase for water is that it leaves fire with less options
replacing Sonia with chase can get 2m+ so I might just do that
but it’s probs more an issue with run optimization
his circle is more effective with ss misty
dunno if thats worth using him there or not but its something
yeah it’s hard to decide
a lot of ny Wallace’s extra score hinges on getting SEUN from max move which that run didn’t have
which is a 1/7 chance
Based on the current Rock 3v1 top scores - only 1 person has 10/5 SS Diantha ?
eyeing up May if you can set her up well or SS Red as well
SS Hilda is better than both if you can get her to 3/5 but I assume you can’t
Lol batman did same score have diantha 3/5🤣
No vids for top team
Why elio lol? Not melony
Lax raise def any way whit tmp
11th place has it too just not everyone tryhards this mode
i also know for sure one person who has her lol but they’re not even top 100 rn
What are good gauge spammers for “no status effects” stage besides 5/5 Oleana
Tried Aaron but he’s too slow
I was using Aaron with SS Steven if anyone was curious
oleana can work at 3/5
but assuming you might not have that either
gridded for move gauge boost pep rally and mpr
got this with 3/5 exr oleana, 1/5 exr v hop, and 1/5 adaman
I do indeed have 3/5 Oleana
she can work but you’ll want an mpr for mgb and when gauge gets low queue another move like her tm or a stat boosting item from someone else
Am I correct in thinking that someone managed to get 4m damage with V Hop? Because the current highest score on the google sheets is around 3.3m damage
5,176,470
Thank you
It is unfortunate that I don’t have Adaman but I hope there isn’t just a huge drop off like “you can’t clear 3v1 using V Hop without Adaman” if you try to use a different unit to buff V Hop’s damage
Thanks for tips 2 sync not crit but i change some stuff
adaman is def v hop’s best teammate but at 3/5 he still can score super high without him
that team above is the strongest i think
a neat thing is hop being able to use his b move twice thanks to oleana also using her max move
I do wonder what teammates beside Adaman can allow 3/5 V Hop to get 1m in 3v1 stages
probably a lot, even with the transition to single there's so much room for other options
to the point where it might be more of a question of what standard enabler wouldn't allow it
Fair
which could be none depending on your definition of standard
redlax and seun users would be redundant with super sync 9 on there though
Redlax only use being para on body slam and support/sprint combo
Larry can provide -1 rebuff, -4 def, and chance to para
SC Steven can provide -1 rebuff and -6 def
And there’s Colress with para and -6 def
-6 def is rarely worth the time spent to get there
-2 is the most effective, stat drops have diminishing value
sc steven would be fine, larry doesn't give seun, so for seun users it'd be redlax along with h jasmine and dana though those might not have worked anyway
that'd have most their utility taken away
Well Larry doesn’t have SEUN but that doesn’t matter for V Hop who sets his own SEUN
i haven't run into any situations with colress yet where i'm not debuffing to max despite trying -4 which seems like a more significant downgrade than expected already
yeah larry has no overlap
larry's b move usually isn't worth the -2 though esp with enfeeble
sc steven would be similar prob
ig
but if you ever run in a situation where you'd need a few extra twave at the end to get the last sync, that's a thing to consider
yep
doesn't make it useless but it's enough to still be pretty uncommon (though a lot of that is colress usually being suboptimal anyway (without bianca))
It's more relevant with SC Steven
Because he uses a B Move, which by definition is very slow
colress is optimal with bianca
lol ok
@dry whale if you see this before reset, and if you have SS Ingo because I'm not sure you have him, do you think SS Ingo + SS Diantha + whatever you think the best partner would be (nc bianca ? unova circle boosted by ingo) could get more than blue melony ?
I do not have Ingo. I'm not sure, with Zapdos Diantha Syncs 6 times.
Defense drops and evasion could make up the difference but I can't say for sure.
Sad
Would be cool if we got a unit like Larry or SC Steven but debuffed Sp. Def instead of Def
I mean if comparing across 1/5 Dianthas is reasonable I can test to see if proportionally it's better
obviously the scores aren't better but is there anything in Diantha's 3/5 kit beyond multipliers and trip twice that helps her?
well at 1/5 you don't care about trip twice because you don't have cakewalk anyway
you could still use rock tomb as many times as batman did in his clear for a good enough comparison
the speed debuffs won't be the same but it won't affect the run much
If anything the more annoying bit is missing Lithic Acceleration
true
I just noticed that I suggested that but I don't even know if the gauge would keep up lol
looking forward to trying out ss nemona next reset
getting close to outscoring 5/5 in multi lol
king
chase and dahlia also very very good investments
missed final sync crit yet again so i'll push more
should break 6m in multi
i need one more coin to get another field candy to 3/5 my mix red
please i just want to use him in the ranked dc
simply spend 9k(?) gems to get one from one of the ongoing master/arc fair banners 
saving for kantrio..
i had to waste a multi on arc leon to get to 3/5 chase, no support coins in next event it seems like
next event is lillie/bugsy right
i still have 109k gems and no need for anything else this month beyond h lillie
decided to use 2* pink feathers for the first time, taking this lol
up to 18% total, 21% on crit, 95 spa
his b move is doing 730k by this point
Oleana gaming
i have no Adaman too and def this can be improved
Don’t have Winter Sycamore either X)
I do have Larry, so he might allow me to get a better score
Good luck. Roll for vHop's TM MPR too, +10 PMUN is very good for his bmove 
Oh wait I just noticed Holillie releases the same day 3v3 Fairy dc 
ho-ho-holiday lillie
won't be better for gladion than current options but could even the playing field for ss nemona possibly?
and i'll be using ss wally again so she'll help that for sure
You could do something funny like fish for zap cannon on volo and use that to enable the sing spam
Discourage is pretty nice as well
i'd definitely try it if i had him
I've got no wally and my penny is only 1/5 so I might give it a shot
Probably only going to be able to grab 1/5 lillie tho
Yeah, u should be fine if you have at least 1 rebuff
The problem with no wally is the sync countdown is a bit awkward
True true
these galar varieties feel as if they were made for dc
there was a run with arc leon and vmarnie that got like 8,4 mil
insane
breaks 10m by this point
adam did it
all the varieties, arc leon, and h lillie were made for dc
whole month is pretty focused
so a bandanna with opp paralysis s-move +5% in the third slot is worth keeping and ever pinning for an eventual build right
(better question: what top comps don't use paralysis?)
This is the first time that over half of the new units of the month matter for the ranked.
yes to the first
though i like to account for burn to see ss lysandre succeed but burn and poison are mostly for fire and poison
I have feathers and spare time so I may as well use my time to build some good skill gear for this mode
like the first roll is bad but it cost 12 2* green feathers and guarantees 3 passives on all future rolls
I think I'm going to build dedicated fire and poison gears as well eventually, I probably don't have enough feathers for it yet but especially given that I have the top pairs pending some investment I might as well put some resources into being able to compete at a higher level
also note that it can be common to only afford to para one in multi but depending on how stacked your gear is it can be worth going out of your way to para more
bianca/colress occasions won't need to worry
I should build a dedicated Fighting Gear
feels good investing in faves
mmkay
Godly Gear
feather trick doesn't seem to work once an ever pin has been spent, so this'll do
oh wait cerena benefits massively from this
got better gear so paulo could go higher but i can't get the mpr on red without also getting burned and i can't justify candying him just for headstart 
paulo can buff team speed to +6 so it's actually possible to run colress without infliction freebie with him but it works out better in multi when they're moving a lot under sand
I swear to the gods, im gonna candy mix blue just because he doesn't wanna work with me
Paulo's biggest enemy of single dd is his sandstorm uptime 
may be worth considering anyway and redlax tm gives time for gauge recovery too
which i wasn't using last time i used them together
the top Dahlia teams paralyze as well right? seeing interference sync multipliers and she's the one that immediately jumps out to me because of interference sync on grid
yeah her best has been chase+melony in the past, maybe dc blue or ss ingo can improve
possible that you can run nc blue + chase and have the gauge to teeter spam but you can't afford racing rain
that'll be a problem for paulo as dd too, can't afford sands of time and pep rally 2 and maximize sync move damage
can still run melony
rock single ends before h lillie debut
actually you coulda if you had 5/5 +10e
but you also drop max rockfall tile still
oh my this Cerena gear is coming together
Gimme that gear please 🥹
I'll give you the pin if ya want it 
rolling for a good pin while I have this impressively low-scoring Thursday Night Football on
What is this feather trick
happy with this one
disconnecting after selecting gear but before selecting feather, trope found it and posted the method earlier
requires either a second device to log in or reinstalling the game
it actually does not
I used it a lot for my gears
yeah forcing max interactions from lodge needs a second device, this is just... still in the game for some reason
forgot it was a thing while rolling
file deleted
Hm
I am doing the disconnectiong, but after selecting the feather
I see why it was not working before 
yes it is very specific and I definitely messed it up
Lucky i have it copy
But thanks. I'll have it another go
Maybe next month after I buy more feathers on BR shop
test it with yellow feathers before you spend anything super valuable lol
^
it also does work with ever pins I just hadn't gotten the hang of it yet
anyways time to finish getting this 30% gear for cerena
well that’s not what I wanted but this feels good enough to not roll over?
Do you plan to use any pairs with those theme with para ?
ss diantha at least
once I invest in mine she gets 20%
(my bandanna has kalos)
oh SSR Cynthia has BFF as well it's probably worthwhile
Cynthia best friend forever
as does SS Ingo but does he contest Cynthia in 3v3?
Why ?
They're used together.
SS Ingo was spamming and not dealing much dmg tho.
He is Sprint/Tech
just making sure Cynthia still has her niche
So maybe 3vs1 but definitely not 3vs3
Cynthia won't be dethrone in MT until Arc Ghost.
3v1 I feel like he might still want para, either way Cynthia can make use of that gear in some kind of Chase/Melony team
anyways, time to go get another pin I suppose
or even nc blue, it's a standard core regardless
ugh just got burned +5% in slot 3 and I don't think it's the time to start making arc leon gear with my two ever pins sigh
Total -4SpDef and -2Def Aoe from both
yeah reroll, not worth being concerned over
I will start buying the ever pin every month it seems, I have the spare powerups and getting to build a new gear piece every month seems desirable
I alr do that but never seriously rolling gears lol.
Just toooo many 5*pus in hand for no place to use.
like I built up this stockpile and DC is probably the only mode I'm going to empty it for
My 5*PU always sits from 1-15
mine was sitting in the 370s
and the line to EX is already long as is
Better is don't ex EVERYONE.
I have like half the units in game I refuse to ex no matter what.
see now that's just me with most base strike pairs
But i want to EX all Supp

there's no trap-dependent teams anywhere right
No top teams use trap.
Only some minor 1M team use trap like SC Ingo.
yeah that's what I thought, just stumbled into a pretty good trap piece
Is it because Gakon has your card 
Yeah, she also really nice for Grass too
I even used her before and just forgot it
Dahlia can spam at 3/5 or 2/5?
3/5 I think
I have 40 tech coins but idk if i should do it
3/5 is the best bc that where you get extended
I also used Dahlia spam for Flying 3v3 lol
For who?
Ethan
Oh
Grid and Skill Gear: https://imgur.com/a/YlZOQ8j
Lucky Cookies Used:
SS Ethan: Super Powered 3
Dahlia: Critical Strike 2
Classic Red: Vigilance
Paris stole it from me
RIP
well that pin was worth the super long roll
MC Rival is one stacked theme skills duo
Idt mine is that optimal, but also i dont know if i can Sync 1 more
Oh wow
sure is
Kinda wonder how will Grass mt team be in regular dc.
confusion/para proc or triple miss on earthquake could be enough for one more sync
How many feathers/pins have you wasted for this?
Also, what's the best feather again? Was it pink or smth else?
pink for syncs
I was rolling greens lol, that was 4 ever pins one for each piece of gear I got (I have a spare pin for Rock/Poison/BFF that also got the 10% bonus on paralysis) and overall rolling the 4 pieces cost me 117 feathers and about 3/4 of the length of tonight’s NFL game
I have no 2 star pink feathers but had 300 2 star green ones so used those
greens are good for overall purposes but if you haven't spent anything yet and you're solely rolling for dc it's better to go for pinks
most of the 2* feathers i've bought have been greens (and yellows)
and the gear absolutely makes a difference, before with 7 syncs vs after with 6 lol. Might have to look into the Dahlia team

The gears
He doesn’t, there are 2m+ clears with Elio that are not in the doc

As long as you have 3/5 SS Diantha then yes, below that move level she is very much not worth using
One message removed from a suspended account.
just a heads up u should really refer to trainer names instead of pokemon names when talking about sync pairs. this is dc so obviously we know which snorlax you’re referring to but in other contexts it could be anabel. also another primarina drops this reset who is also dc meta so it just gets confusing 
tru
Pokémon names also makes me think new player which makes me think underinvested
and where investment is key for this mode that would make me more prone to recommending Gordie in the blind

True true but others might not know that and still get confused d

Wow
uhhhhhhh
You can find normal 3vs1 water
my best option is nessa for 3v1 and kris for 3v3 😭
and this event has ally physical attack damage significantly reduced
for water
Yeah, for this only SS Misty or May is usable
SS Misty has higher dmg potential but need heavy support
May has lower but need less support
hmm, nc blue with sing spam?
what other support does she need
does she need like -6 speed or -6 spdef or something
Bc she need evasion
no chase 😔
Also need full gauge before Sync
So Melony isn’t a good option
You can try NC Blue + Elio
what difference between melony and elio
chaseless strat for ss misty is to just go for +2 eva off first water gun and stick with that for blind spot
Elio is slower but the gauge is way better
Bc his passive
propelling move 5 yea
How about BP janine? Team eva & status. Poison sucks tho.
i was thinking water gun spam can be semi fast but......
yeah that one's a major roadblock but even if it wasn't there water gun spam wouldn't be your best bet
Gauge is the problem
Oh BP
or at least, spam until +6 evasion then sing spam
Mb
yeah
she has agile entry 1 and water gun shifty striker 4 on grid
and she has shifty striker 4 on passive
Oh wait BP Janine has no +3 crit.
BP Janine gives Support EX, +6 SpA, +3 Evasion
bp janine would be way better if her tm was +2 eva and maybe +2 speed but +1s are bad and no +3 crit
But only +1 crit
Which is out already
where is +1 crit from?
team sharp entry on grid
Team Sharp Entry 1 on grid
It's time for rolling Elio's Team Critical Nightmare 3 (just kidding).
hmm
Rosa can give another +1 with her move before sync
melony can fill in missing crit but annoyingly slow and you'll still lack in speed buffs
Why Rosa here ?
for sing spam if Janine poisons
Oh NC Rosa
but poison also stalls because they keep taking damage hmm
where to get third crit though
but that would mean rosa needs to use b move 3 times to go back to sing spam
B Move -> Sync
Her grid give 1 too
How long is her B Move ?
11s
yeah not too bad
I'm debating whether I should go to 3/5 or not
hardly matters for dc so it'd come down to her use elsewhere
so she's redlax+sing spammer in 1
The tm mpr might be necessary for additional speed buffs depending on the comp
well redlax is still better for mpr
And discourage could enable some pairs as well
i wouldn't be concerned with any of that this far in advance
Well the pair I'm thinking in particular is ss gladion since I've got no wally
Woah
Which stage should i change for Hol. Lillie?
ok yea, Lillie is really good for this
Well N is obviously there
won't need mpr with that speed stat but discourage could be super helpful
elio is the biggest issue in that N team
any particular tips for using holiday lillie?
You can use her like Melony
Exactly the same
If you have time to spare, B Move for SEUN
sing spam until countdown goes down around 2 (or 3) then use her B move if you want super effective up next
