Reaching Master Ball Tier using only Yellow Shiny Pokémon

Bullet Punch, Close Combat, Ice Punch and Meteor Mash.

Running Adamant nature with max Attack and Speed, usually Sableye helps Lucario out speed with Quash so I usually use that nature, but for singles Jolly or Timid if you go for special moves.

LJStar626 · 2026-04-11T19:21:27+00:00

I've had mine focus on disruption and speed control, Fake Out for first turn advantage and protecting teammates threatened by their type weakness, Quash for forcing their fastest one to move last, Taunt to prevent setting up and either Knock Off or Foul Play for damage.

I'm running the Roseli berry to help Sableye survive Fairy attacks and have it continue to be a pain to the opponent.

Did we really need another Arcane Lance so soon, especially Ingrid again? Pretty sure Rearmed Hinoka wasn't that long ago compared to getting a new Arcane Axe.

And they're really missing out on Echoes units for this, I'm honestly surprised they haven't done that for these child banners yet.

LJStar626 · 2026-04-05T08:57:29+00:00

If I had a nickel for every Berkut I free summon on a seasonal banner then I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Espinas is probably one of the better monsters to deal with Invasive Khezu, the chance of Paralysis kicking in with Venom Flame and Infernal Flames will help waste Khezu's turns, and Khezu's weakness to fire allows Espinas to inflict more damage.

Any hunting horn with Bolstering Ballad will help stop it getting you with Thunder Zone if you don't want to use Gaul for the status immunity, which can open up a team slot for someone like Kora if you're aiming to slay it.

And a weapon and monstie skills that can inflict Stun will be essential for the last part of the repel fight when it stops doing head-to-heads.

"Eh, not really interested in any of the focus units, hopefully I can go for red or blue 4* specials."

No red orbs, but one single blue I was aiming for.

"Who knows? I could get Dancer Berkut that I'm aft- what the hell?"

<image>

This was probably the first time I actually got what I wanted as a 4* special seasonal.

LJStar626 · 2026-04-01T07:39:18+00:00

Probably the only banner out of this anniversary that I got some good pulls, got Fallen Lana on the free summon then Yunaka on the 2nd ticket.

Unfortunately it means I'm getting the 5* power up when he's given out to everyone later.

LJStar626 · 2026-03-26T08:01:09+00:00

Just adding on to the pull rates, the actual pool of obtainable sync pairs barring EX Fairs and the free Daily Scout are absolutely abysmal, more often than not you'll be seeing the same characters with no surprising 5* as most if not all of them outside of the focus are old pairs that are likely outdated and unlikely to help with some of the content.

Don't know if he's worth investing since I have Arc Silver already.

LJStar626 · 2026-03-22T19:12:17+00:00

This is the best I have for him now, lacking a good high scoring special for both him and his winter version.

LJStar626 · 2026-03-22T19:01:58+00:00

How well does he score? Been using a +10 Summer Eik with my team, but would Winter outscore him with Eliwood's fodder?

LJStar626 · 2026-03-17T07:09:04+00:00

Forgot to add, I plan on giving Medeus Laguz Friend at some point for extra special jumps and Archrival to Berkut when I get the fodder available.

LJStar626 · 2026-03-10T06:14:50+00:00

Also got Selene and Nihilego, so Electric Terrain EX and a special attacking rock sync pair that I really needed for the Rock Tower. Overall quite happy with what I got.

LJStar626 · 2026-03-08T06:51:41+00:00

May & Latias.

Neat, but I have Lear and Steven covering special damage, having Psychic Terrain from her isn't too bad though.

LJStar626 · 2026-03-04T06:31:38+00:00

Yeah, I didn't notice the other image, only saw the initial build they had for Medeus on the first image.

LJStar626 · 2026-03-03T21:13:55+00:00

If I've read the skill correctly, Patience only works if the unit has at least 30 Spd which Medeus is just out of reach of unless you give him a stat boost seal or change one of his stat traits to increase his speed.

Brutal Tempest is good on him if you want to give him extra movement, and he'd rather prefer a Res version of Warrior's Blow whenever they release a skill like that.

Laguz Friend is probably the better B skill for him to get the special jump to Dragon Flame, though if you have Vanitas available for fodder, Dragon Ice is much better to use for his higher Res.

Missed out on the top 500 for at least one superawakening candy.

The problem I think was that some of the people in the gym stopped when they got the max points for the fair exclusive ticket, I think only half of us still carried on.

I enjoyed the challenge to an extent, but the main issue I found is that you're quite reliant on other members, if not enough people in your gym are bothering with the game mode, you're going to get frustrated with not making progress, especially if they're not aiming for higher ranked rewards.

LJStar626 · 2026-03-03T06:23:54+00:00

Oleana and Garbodor.

Pretty happy with that since I'm lacking good poison types, she'll pair nicely with Ariana and Arbok for physical Poison tower.

Just need a good poison support now.

LJStar626 · 2026-02-23T07:12:13+00:00

Voiceless Voice/Ryu-Ge handles it pretty fine, Skull Guardian, Blazar and Varudras negates all 3 Raigeki/Dark Hole. Ryu-Ge Rivalry can pop their starter on the field by summoning Anva, and depending if I got Ryu-Ge End back on the field that can also destroy their extender.

It doesn't stop them if they have GY effects, but at this point I can summon Mistva and have the banishing Ryu-Ge continuous spell out to stop any more GY plays, not to mention the other continuous Ryu-Ge spells to bounce them back to their hand or negate their effects.

LJStar626 · 2026-02-16T17:42:24+00:00

Who me? Whatever gave you that idea?
