In other Bianca experimentation news, I've managed to beat the "full-force battle" by pairing Bianca (and SS Blue) with all available Psychic strikers.
Caitlin performed the best. She's kinda bulky and has 2 MGRs for Psychic which help maintain gauge.
Ouch! Hope you got something good out of it.Man, I misread the Hoenn guaranteed banner thing and end up using free gems. I thought it was paid gems for this one.
But my calcs I should be back to over 30k by the end of the month but it still sucks. Must start paying more attention...
Barring Calem, Oak is my least favourite psychic pair so if I can avoid using him, I do.Bel/Okido/New Year Lilie is one of the stronger teams in the game, deals massive sync damage and can take quite a lot of hits. It's my go-to team for psychic-weak stages.
Yeah! Agree on that one!I'm not sure whether or not I like these new battles or not. On one hand, challenges based on making teams around the region theme skills are good, but on the other hand SS Blue and Sycamore getting two shot is really dumb.
Not a single current Hoenn Sync Pair has Electric-types.
That Wattson is irrelevant.Kyogre has Thunder. Guess what they're implying.
I'm going to guess all these steps are just for the Super Hard versions.I had no issues with Archie. I used Maxie, Brendan and Drake. The later proved the MVP. Those Def buffs and gauge filling were quite helpful.
Maxie on another hand was a pain. Took several tries.
Luckily, a great guy on Reddit shared a strat showing you can clear it with May (mudkip unevolved), Wallace and... Lyra (yes, a non-boosted unit).
It goes kind of like this: have Lyra use trainer move while Wallace uses Whirpool and May does something (I use trainer move for gauge increase) then Lyra use Light Screen and May uses Rain Dance.
That allows Lyra to survive enough to distribute more buffs and Light screen. I suggest having Lyra use trainer move when the Sidezards use Sunny Day before May calls the rain again
Wallace is the main target but using the recuperation nodes on his grid allows him to survive long enough to kill Groudon. I just suggest that immediately after Wallace kills Kyogre with the second thing, make sure to use his trainer move so the sidezards won't screw you with burn status (happened to me a few times. I lost finished the runs earlier because of that)
Keep in mind I haven't evolved Mudkip and Wallace is 0/20
So... Swampert and EX Wallace should make it even more manageable. The Reddit has even more strategy options there and even using regular gacha pairings like Roxanne and Lisa.
I'd say that's the bright side of the event. Making those underdogs be useful for once. I mean, I pretty much levelled Drake up just for those events lol
It also made me want grids for these pairs more. If we're going to get theme skill based events, it's only fair that we get a bit more to work with.The Reddit has even more strategy options there and even using regular gacha pairings like Roxanne and Lisa.
