>What is Pokémon Masters EX?
A mobile Pokémon game that's real-time instead of turn-based and focuses on collecting trainers instead of Pokémon.

You wont get enough tickets to be able to buy everything every month. If you have the gem pass that gives you double BP from the daily battle you will still only be able to buy 12 of the 18 coins. Hoarding tickets is pointless since the shop resets.

All the costant pessimistic "muh new on-type damage gym clause" and "muh juliana cheese is useless now" posting led me into believing and assuming the super-effective damage rule was built in as default as soon as extra circuits begin instead of being added later, luckily a less doomer teammate reminded me through the battle logs you can still solo two out of three stages with the turtle koala rat team.

Then perhaps people should stop complaining about A Juliana's death since she can still perform better than SS Lear or NC Marnie or special ground anything etc special on-type team comps in those stages right now still thanks to all the countdown, break and ex wtz gimmicks on her side. She's still as useful as ever in Gym Events, especially on bullshit type combinations.

>She's still as useful as ever in Gym Events
yeah.. in the baby Extra 1-3 stages

if you dont care about top 500 then you're good I guess
>>
>>59642110
Mamlny of the so called baby stages still require 5/5 and 10/5 save for few exceptions several limiteds each using 2 or 3 tickets VS 1 team covering them all with 2 tickets.
Downplaying this aspect is simply retarded.
>>
>>59642110
Just having people blasting the stages with offtypes and then chipping away with shit teams for the on type stages is enough to get into top 500. Only top 100 is where it really matters. My gym is full of retards where like 15 of them try to ontype every single stage with their 1/5 units for 10k points and we still stage in the 200 to 400 range.
>>
Nah if you get stuck on Extra 4 you're probably not making top 500

You can argue that poison is safer than trap for shit like tower stages that need status or interferences, but his kit is straight better than any rika that isn't 10/5 (and even there it's not a huge gap), so he's not complete garbage for sure

Which physical team is the closest thing to the Juliana offtype in GvG?
I don't there isn't an equal one when it comes to sync rushing and debuffing and rather quick animations but there has to be something close.
Maybe Ghost, Dragon? Rock or Fighting? Water with Harmony?
Juliana's closest counterpart is Florian but Florian's best buddy for the EX WTZ is a special SS Ball Guy and F Archie who lacks sync acceleration spam. Assuming Volo is still the best off type choice currently. Or maybe physical ontype is more advised and practical over early circuit cheesing in the current meta state.
There is also Ground but I believe it takes a lot of animation time for timer modes.

What are my best physical and special grass teams for GvG? I have tech candies I can use.

>>59644404
>>59644410
I was tempted to name it since I have them all at 5/5 but never tried them on hp sponge stages like GvG, they do well in Tower but some of the parameters there want stats debuff so I had to bring Larry there sometimes.
Have to agree thinking about it, lots of sync acceleration, ex zone and one break and even two support effect syncs, only lacks aoe type rebuffs.

>>59644404
Oh yeah Dark too, G Marnie, Alt Carmine and A Serena came so close to each other that I am still not used to them being in the game. Require more investment but are definetely cheese tier.

I think you could also try (Physical) Fire but I'm not sure that the second best Physical Fire, Variety Ethan, has enough damage event though he also provides a Circle and plenty of Sun

Ethan has bonus sync countdown on Sunny Day if it helps. He adds the Johto theme and circle I suppose, there are the Cinderace but beside sync countdown they are all ST, same with May. We'll find out with the next Mix scout units if they can give another physical Fire.
Also Academy Hugh does respectable ST damage and has sun too.

My roster's pretty much non existent because I started playing recently. Along with random 5*s I got 8 bit Red, arceus blessed Cynthia, Diantha, Geeta and the current May. Along with the free stuff they gave like the kanto trio birds and starters.
There are a lot of types where I got nothing of value.
>>
>>59644934
oh i forgot about NC May, yeah she's super useful
Honestly though, most of them are good. Tower is really the hardest permanent content right now, so its a good gauge on what is "needed". Generally you want physical and special of every type covered.

But if you dont care about tower then its just who you like most.
>>
>>59644910
then for sure Champion May or Selene.
I'd be more inclined for Champion May because of her EX Rain

@Grey
Our gvg guy wanted me to pass this message on to you. They’re saying going Ballguy-Urbain-Drayton is preferable to Ballguy-Urbain-Erika the next time special grass comes around
>>
>>59645017
Honestly came me to mind later as afterthought, I was thinking about bringing Juliana for break (but wastes a sync turn doing 0 damage and then 0 damage for break turn so it kind of ruins the idea here, Gloria too because she works better when you have zones instead of weather and terrain to prevent her rock zone summoning animation) even but if Drayton carries the break plus circles it might work. M Red brings some extra terrain and sync accel too with damage but break and ex wtz is what makes most of the difference in this mode, once ex expires most units start doing between 1% and 4-5% damage per hit at very best, thank you for the hindsight.

Next special Roark round if someone has both Adaman and Hilda or Sycamore and can apply a triple rebuff it would be appreciated as both the grass pairs can debuff some stats like sp.def.
I don't know if it can solo after a cheer by the way, I'll see how it fairs, Ball Guy wants candies for some own multipliers, while in general every on type dps of mine has SP3 or CS3 or custom cookies and gear to maximizes damage.
>>
>>59645017
>>59645051
How do you deal with the head smashes? stagger?
>>
>>59645061
Yeah, first I had the attack debuff shit, then come back to staggering, the original build used to be for tower debuffs. The first smash always hits but at least the second is delayed, all three grass pairs had access to staggering even if locked behind 3/5 on ball guy who in most of the cases is enough to summon ex terrain, then drop a max move rush and extension and faint to get a another "free" sync (his passive is good but also takes some animation time but it's still 9 turns skip)
This won't work against bullshit like P-Move 5 Roark, have to take care of Enfeeble with bulk or Unbending tank, or Rock Guard or Vigilance for damage filter, else dodging Stone Edge crits, this is ridiculous because that stage taunts you with a unevolved Cranidos on top of that.
I don't know if Drayton will live enough, maybe will try with Tera Blast fishing for a flinch instead of Trapping and then spam circles and waves.
>>
Corbeau's Wife, this would be a good moment to chime into GVG to finish the last smidge of the stages and maybe cheer the new rotation once we get there, if you have urbain special grass Spark would definitely love some pitching, just don't do the stage twice so someone can jump in to cheer you the second time if it's needed

If the timer can freeze for sync moves it should freeze for faint animations and the base animations of moves

I don't know what's worse, pairs that are complete dogwater because of their glacial animations + buffs/debuffs wasting precious seconds or the pairs that are just cucked because their toolkit depended on having 0 sync buff before they buff up, so they are just completely cucked by x2 or x3 ticket runs.

I'm just going to tell you in advance. If I detect that your gym just moves through circuit 9 without any care or like effortless, I'm going to report your gym for cheating.

You retards shouldn't be able to easily get past that circuit without hardcore effort at this point in the event. Last time it was special steel, now it's physical fairy and special ground. It baffles me how gyms get past these circuits without any care.

Lol, you gotta remind yourself these gyms are composed of 20/20 whalers with tens of thousands bucks accounts and every limited in the game.
3/5 palrika+variety N can easily do 100k, this means it's "only" a 6 tickets investment for them

Did we really need another Fighting weak stage in a Gym battle when Hoenn, Unova, Unova 2 and Paldea will have a Normal type gym in their rotation?
I don't think that Norman and Lenora/Cheren use regional birds in the first place, only pure Normal mons, so having a Fighting type weak stage for those is a shoo-in.

>>59647886
Danchou here, it's fine I did call out to you a couple times in either this or last thread, but I know how busy irl can get so don't worry too much. Next circuit is gonna be hell (Phys fairy and Spec Ground are a huge pain in the ass for basically everyone in the gym). Did you still get tickets while not logging in the game/how many tickets do you have?
Right now anything you have a good team for is fair game, as there's no stage that's in high priority and everything is cheered (if we reset I'd probably recommend to not waste more than 1 ticket on flying as our resident Blue fan has been oneshotting the stage for 5 circuits straight)
That said, right now we're pretty much comfortably in the 200s so no biggie, if we were in the 400-500s like last 2 GvGs I would've probably been more pissed about a player vanishing (I definitely wouldn't have kicked you just for this lol)
If you are in doubt about how to use your tickets, using 1 to -6 defences and rebuff is always appreciated. Added value would be countering annoying gimmicks (Candice evasion buffs on entry for example) or leaving a Break as timer is about to run out for the next person. Paralysis is usually preferred to any other status as it can save time and doesn't cause extra animations. I'm about to head to bed so if you have any question I'll answer after reset when I wake up
>>
>>59647963
But since everything rn is already cheered for, of you and Kei wanna try doing even just some 30-50k damages here and there it would be great, as cheering stages that are already halfway is quite useless (example: Kei early used 1 ticket on poison for basically no big which made Candice more annoying for the next person because of her evasion; same can go for Roark for example and his +2 atk on entry on +50% P-move rounds). Rule of thumb is that if stage is -2 rebuff and debuffed enough, cheering it is wasted tickets, might as well use 3 to even do 30k only rather than just not contribute at all with 3 "useless cheers" for 1k
I know it's a lot to take in for new players so don't worry too much about doing it perfectly this GvG
>>
>>59647974
Thus goes for Lauburu too btw. And if you guys have strong teams for a matchup you can use the chat in the Gym leader challenge menu to call out preferences (I always put "I'll do it first" in Dark since I have the best dark stage performance in the gym for example). Alternatively, just write here, I check twice a day during gvg week usually
>>
Thank you Danchou!
I went ahead and cleared Candice since poison is pretty much the only type rn I have good units of, and helped a bit on Ground as well.
If you ever get discord I’d be down to joining so it’s easier to coordinate stuff between us.
Thank ye greatly for the patience and advice.

I have 7 tickets currently, I could do some Phys Fairy or Spec Flying damage, if Spec Ground is desperate all I can offer are 1/5 P Rika and 1/5 V N for what it matters. Or should I wait for the ecentual reset and then do some Spec Roark?
I just know Stalwart Spec Fantina and Spec Volkner are going to be a hell ride, Hiro also has P Adaman and 5/5 SS Nemona and if needed 4/5 SS Ball Guy and 5/5 Urbain but he could just solo Fantina or something else on reset instead.
>>
>>59648733
Don’t worry I won’t penalize you for putting in an honest effort, even if you end up with spare tickets by the end.
>>59648750
I have 5/5 Nemona and 13 tickets I’ll handle fairy. I’d honestly rather have you do some special ground however mediocre. Save maybe 2-3 tickets for next circuit

>>59648762
Sounds good. I assigned Marc to flying or fighting( his choice) if he needs help finishing that you can always help there too
>>
>>59648022
I do have a discord account but I genuinely don't use that platform at all, and desu my outlook on GvG is that trying hard to get top 100 just doesn't seem worth without at least 5-6 whales in the gym (we have 1) so I don't dislike this scuffed approach as long as we're chilling in top 500 guaranteed every time.
Btw how many tickets do you have? I'm curious if by not logging in you got denied the daily ones or they still amass passively. And for the cheering with 1 ticket, it's heavily recommended to do it if you have rebuff units, so if you can list yours it would help me know what to ask of you next time
>>
>zero physical damage
>zero damage if not super effective
>ground
Thanks, I'm fucking useless.
>>
>>59648766
I don't have any whales in my gym and we're in top 75. The only one I would consider close to being one has only used 3 tickets. If this gvg is anything like the last one we likely won't lose more than 5-10 placements.
>>
>>59648768
Time to spam Mud Slap with Hapu and BP Falkner
>>
>>59648777
Sure, if not whales day one players or 2-3 year old accounts that exclusively meta invest

Too bad I don't play this game for the meta so I scout only characters I like, skip everything else. I still do 1.2mil per GvG, but I don't expect everyone to be able to do these scores with their favourites

>>59648764
If anyone else has weka rosters and tries to throe 3 tickets on some stages let them try out Lodge Rika or Naomi vs Volkner.
I suspect even x1 Stall team tickets can work there for those 1% effect damage between Sand, Stealth Rock, Trapping and Poison, you know Bertha, Wallace, Kabu, BP Erika, SS Leaf, Atticus, Oleana etc, I'll test my Stall and see if it's worthy for others do use them as cheers between battles.

With Wallace and Erika having Sand Shelter, trapping and setting Rocks + Sand once amd never attacking since, I think it doesn't always add in the score from passive damage but still wears down the HP so that you can move to new circuits. Perhaps Naomi and Lodge Rika still do more. The passive damage can still end being hundreds of thousands HP per actions I think given the bloated stats.
>>
>>59648764
If Momo has more tickets either me or tateanon could use x1 ticket to boost his 3/5s for a better outlook so that he can nail to red hp bar by the end of tomorrow or with tomorrow tickets.
>>
>>59648813
Momo actually has 10+tickets.(stupidly they were told to conserve it) They will likely have to use them to down this.
>>
>>59648813
>>59648852
Like I said the lack of ticket optimization is why this gvg is not going well. We did much better when we weren’t trying to hold our players back for circuits they might not even get to
>>
>>59648813
Btw if Momo has a cheer they might be able to finish dark. If you or Tate-anon want to throw in a one ticket cheer that would be okay too

In fact I've been wondering why we weren't getting any 1 ticket cheers at the start and between battles or cleanups from less invested type rosters so the stockpiled tickets of those who had the right units and teams for bullshit type parameters would be already advancing to new circuits by now, oh well, still not a terrible performance in the end. Shouldn't have went with 3 tickets vs Volkner if I knew he was holding those pairs and could have cheered him with 1 ticket using Juliana's break.
>>
>>59648860
Want be a Dark or Ground x1 cheer?
Have x4 tickets now and will save x3 for the next circuit in case.
Will leave an AOE break on either of those.
>>
>>59648861
Yeah originally that plan was to be a bit if a detailed plan on ticket allocations and have a spreadsheet could reference and I would’ve poste it here for you and Tate-anon. But the time between datamine and gvg was 5 weekdays and that’s the shortest heads up we ever had, so I couldn’t get it done in time abd instead we just went “ok certain members hold off until the supereffective only stages, which was…not the play
>>
>>59648868
Honestly, I’m just going to tell you the same thing I told everyone else at this point. Do whatever you want with your tickets. I think it’s better for you to conserve a bit desu since you’re stronger then some other players who can put in a cheer
>>
>>59648766
I have around 15 tickets right now!
>>
>>59648878
I'll likely use all x3 at once and save them as mutipliers of 3 for the next last days, will support x1 Dark cheer so this one should be over and nobody else attempts it and moves to Volkner or Maylene.
I'll be doing one or two runs on next stage Grass and Physical or P-Move 5 Flying whatever comes first, it won't be as comfy as P-Move 5 allowing mixed damage.

I simply don't like its UI and socials in general, don't use yt, twitch, faceberg, ig, tiktok, xitter and so on.

You wouldn’t even have to talk, hell you probably would only need to check it a few times during the entire event, (especially if you’re assigned to a particular type matchup or two) It’s moreso so that everyone is on the same page and no one steps on each others toes

That's fine, next time I might try to find my discord logins so I can maybe dm you and Corbeau's wife strats on how to optimize your pairs without clogging this board if that's fine with you, most likely I'll just ask you guys to do the 10-35k stages on your own so other accounts can save for later stages, or doing 1/2 of the 80k rotation and then cheering in later cycles, which is still a very important contribution
>>
Grey, do you still have tickets available for special grass?
>>
>>59648807
Hello guys
>>
>>59649899
Yeah, on reset, last 3 I guess.
Assuming everyone has at least V2 Lance for Gardenia dumping.
Will try to milk Roark until I get an acceptable score and hoping Drayton tanks. Special Grass is lacking those braindead ex mf and arc suit combo units.
I did use 3 on Volkner for what it was worthy, I'm glad it's over.
>>
>>59649943
Ah, in that case maybe periodt will take care of it, they have a superawakened ball guy so most likely they’ll handle it
>>
>>59649948
If you’re ok at letting periodt do grass focus on flying
>>
what a dogshit mode
this game deserves EoS
>>
>>59649955
Physical Flying it is, if you are confident with Special Grass or I'll see which one on average does more damage on reset unless he is eager to face Roark now.
Seen a bunch of A Blue in the logs and I assume Hiro will go for Poison or likely Dark unga bunga solo again.
>>
>>59649981
*knowing there is another 5/5 Urbain and SS Ball Guy but the final rush is about best damage output and match up anyway
>>
>>59649895
Actually I don't mind using this board because I don't have a discord account.
I'd be glad to contribute next time by completing all battles by myself until extra rounds at least.
>>
>>59650027
If that's comfortable to you (reset is 6AM for me) doing that would definitely be helpful. I also don't use discord at all so I was just looking for a way to show you guys how to turn 5-8k 3 tickets runs into at least 10-20k ones even with mediocre pairs, and I can always ask for your roster specifics here anyway (what units can rebuff, break and which invested limited DPSs you have are basically all that matter for this mode)
>>
Eric is doing it again
>>
>>59650122
You're welcome
>>
>>59649981
>>59649985
So it looks like Marc one shotted Flying and Grass is half dead already so….feel free to use your tickets ant reset any way you please. I trust your judgment

Cant wait for them to use gym to try force people to pull for paradox pokemon. It's time for a fighting stage but also you need to remove grassy terrain so I hope you pulled for SS Chuck/Iron Hands who can set electric terrain

I just want to have a gym that can comfortably sit in the 200s rank instead of absolute retards.

At what rank do people normally accept members into their gyms? I only started playing a month ago and understandably I wouldn't get accepted into any of the gyms I applied to. Only managed to get 1/8 in circuit 2 on my own.
>>
>>59650797
Is this a solo gym?
Even with maxed out everything, you only get 30 tickets, and with C1-3 forcing 3 tickets, you mathematically can not do more than 10 stages alone.
Rank requirements are dumb as shit in my opinion. It should be more about roster depth, but some gyms disagree.As a brand new player, you likely do not have much to offer though.
If random gym applications do not work out for you, asking in the r/PokemonMasters discord is unironically not a bad idea. It would also link you up with experience players that can teach you the ropes.
>>
>>59650147
Yeah I have no interest in kicking the people who do way less than me just to get 500 more gems and 1 extra SA candy while having to micro manage this game like crazy just to get top 100 instead of 500.
>>
Finally done with my tickets, my highest score so far. GL to everyone in the gym that still has tickets to use, feel free to dump them wherever you feel you have the least shit teams for. Here's to next GvG hopefully having less cringe type/param combos.
>>
>>59650800
Yeah I kept applying to every gym I could right up until the event was about to start so I just made a solo one. I have NC Dawn and Lucas, Anniversary Serena and Gloria, and a bunch of the Megas like Lance and Selene. But yeah that still really limits me with what I can do. I'll check out the discord then, thanks.
>>
>>59650824
>I have NC Dawn and Lucas, Anniversary Serena and Gloria
Those units alone make you valuable if invested right, so the only way is up
>>
>nobody wanted to do physical poison or special fighting even the people that had the super meta teams for them
>now we are walled at those two stages

For some reason the guy with 10/5 Bede and 5/5 Kieran decided he would be better off doing dragon for 40k points instead.

It's time to scrap gym battles.

Having so many restrictions that there is exactly one viable team for special fighting is fucking retarded and every single time the event gets worse

2023 was also whale Holocaust with that Rocket variety banner mindbreaking collection fags into quitting and when they first introduced that dogshit mysterious stone chapter that eventually lead to arc suits.

>>59651028
>the last instance I can find of someone sincerely telling a new player you can just use your favorites for this game was half anniversary 2023
It's this gym challenge that's really making me want to drop this game. I still just roll for just the characters I like, or kits that would help them become stronger, so I'm just barely useful for anything. The heavy stall nerfs feel like a message specifically targeting new players and those that just want to play for fun.
>>
>>59651081
Stall teams is something that needed to be nerfed since they basically tripled the amount of health the later fights have. What we didn't need was permanent ontype.
>>
>>59651028
> I wonder when the point of no return was
At their debuts most Ultimate battles were the point where "freebie teams or 1 limited per team is not enough at the moment" and some of them still haven't been done without at least a 3/5 master fair/2 1/5 master fairs.
Some were extremely fine, but some are just too much even with level 200 in the picture
>>
>>59651028
> first extreme battle I remember was outright impossible to F2P was sygna suit Gladion's in February 2024
Nope, was always doable F2P since day 3, you needed an invested lodge Lillie/Lillie/Elio, but It was doable
>>
endgame content doesnt need to be "always fully doable with freebie pairs"
lol thats retarded

but it also doesnt need to be as extremely restrictive as Towers (especially 32-40) or current GvG
>>
>>59651081
>It's this gym challenge that's really making me want to drop this game
get an easy million points for all the rewards, ignore sweating
>>
>>59651104
At least tower is permanent content that will get easier the more pairs of a certain type/damage combination will release
GvG is not
>>
>>59651112
>the more pairs of a certain type/damage combination will release
yeah .. if you roll on/invest in those pairs that is
(at least ~3+ per each type)
>>
>>59651112
On this note while I'm at it
I think that, starting next year maybe, they should add past Gym cookies to the Gym shop.
>>
>>59651104
I'd argue 32-36 are still valid to a degree.
It's the "allied field effect" condition that's absurd. Round 4 is pretty crazy too but with some gimmicks or ex wtz it's easily dealable with.
I've done stage 33 with pal Erika, 3/5 Carmine and 1/5 SS lyra. You don't need insane pairs for hp thresholds until 35-36, but 37-38 have just too much hp for most teamcomps already, and then you have to also add a volatile condition? Fuck that
>>
Is anyone else's tower replays bugged? It says "awaiting for results" and doesn't show me any clear of any stage
>>
>>59651143
>I'd argue 32-36 are still valid to a degree.
they would be .. if not for the still present phys/spe restrictions
That just shouldnt exist at all
or at least make it so the 'restricted' type of damage can still deal ~50% at least
>>
>>59651154
I agree on the second part, I think forcing a Phys/spec "only" stage is fine if you heavily favour one, but still let the other do decent chip damage, I'd be fine even with an 80% cut, but 100% is stupid.
>>
>>59651081
You shouldn't quit over that though, like, go find a gym that can let you get 1m points. If you quit over that, then you're just a coward desu.
>>
>>59651169
It's not about the points, since my gym gets well over a 1mil. I just don't like how homogenized the gameplay gets. It's too boring. My favorite units of the year are Summer Arezu and SC Flannery just because of how much they mix up teambuilding. That's a lot more fun than "get the latest unit because they bring down the sync clock by three when they enter, hit all three enemies with an atom bomb with every attack, and give an extra sync boost even though they aren't a support.
>>
what was the 59mb update?
>>

Nerfs to supereffective attacks, sync moves, and critical hits.

>>59650822
Oh you’re in my gym! Fellow Geeta enjoyer. Thank you for the good work, sorry for being somewhat dead weight on this GvG. I’m going to dump my tickets and try to help as much as possible. So many restrictions on these battles (I don’t think I have a single Special Fighting) kinda blows though unless you have very specific pairs.

Yeah, but as indirect PvP modes go, I don't mind it too much because it lets certain less showcased kits shine, albeit it can (and often does) lead to annoying stuff like Byron's sand being an OG Kieran shill pick. What I like is that it still lets weaker accounts shine (people who can't do more than 30-40k can still do Rounds 1-2 where you're forced to use 3 tickets, and they can still cheer with 1 ticket once the extra stages get to super effective only parameters, and until then even a newish account can still do great by offtyping)
But it's a shame how much rebuffers are needed for optimal cheers, adding even more FOMO to arc suit banners, which are banners I really really REALLY dislike.
I have the gems to pull meta but I hard pass almost everything if it's not a character I like a lot or a "top 3 mons of their region" like for Ogerpon (god I hate the Yodel kid outfit for Florian so much)
>>
>>59651341
>Byron's sand being an OG Kieran shill pick.
It's shilling Lysandre you can buy right now
>>
>>59651345
That lysandre ain't doing no damage tho lol. By that logic it's also shilling terapagos? Since she removes sand, gives break and flinch?

He solves Special Fighting for this GvG
>>
>>59651446
Just by standing there he's providing a boost to Korrina since he's also a Kalos unit. If you decide to go whaling, at 10/5 he sets up more circles to help power up your Fighting attacker.
>>
>>59651481
>Just by standing there he's providing a boost to Korrina
He also has a 1.2 multiplicative boost to all special damage
If he starts clicking moves, he supports even more
>>

>for fighting stages
>for a week long event
>every two or three months
you girls would sound way more reasonable if this was a fire teams boost but awakening a unit for limited utility for a special damage (that isn't even kalos) of a specific region makes people suspect you are literal paid dena shills

>>
It took like 6 people to clear special fighting this shit was horrible. Waifufags didn't have that little faggot kieran and gayfags didn't pull cute girl korrina so everyone took turn doing shit damage just to be able to move to the next stage.
There were a lot of complains about the type restriction but frankly this time wasn't very enjoyable and usually I like GvG. I tend to do the dark stages but with everyone having anni Serena I mostly didn't get the chance and I didn't really feel most of the other stages.
>>
>just 10/5 ss2 lysandre
man… how are you even supposed to constantly have this many resources. granted i’m not a consistent or meta fag player but i only have around 3 10/5 characters.
>>

Thinking about candying Pal Adaman for physical fairy, how exactly are you supposed to use him?

spam attacks really. mind you i have arc diantha 5/5 and lacey so it wasnt hard to have him muscle through the physical stages by himself
I'd say at minimum lacey makes it far more doable, if you have arc diantha or gym bede, or even mix selene it helps a lot

To be fair you don't really need 10/5s in most cases. I have literally only SAd my god favourite (no Curtis/Yancy or Pokefair Clair yet...) and I've been doing fine, I've also never 5/5d a 1% character yet, they're all 1-3/5 except NC Bianca who I got from daily scout to 4/5 lol
