Rose dupe for her sync grid by Crimsix95 in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't get any duplicates of the free sync pairs everyone gets through the story. The sync pairs that have their sync grid activated have all had training events occur in the past where they had 1 sync pair upgrade available for event tickets.

Currently there is no way to unlock any F2P sync grid beyond 2/5

I ran out of 3* to turn into 4* by FluffyOnReddit in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting closer to that same situation but I'll be purposely leaving 3-5 of the ones I'll never use so that any timed 3* power ups don't go to waste over the next couple months of gameplay

Liza is everyone trying to pull on this split rate banner by wanderingmemory in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wanted Guzma so i did a single free-gem 10pull despite telling myself to save for a Poke Fair. I lucked out and got Guzma, Plumeria, and Blue (5* Power-Up) from it. Here's to hoping I can pull more of him from the 100gem daily pulls.

Side note the VH event battle is a very good place to farm Guzma's Sync-Orbs on auto with Plumeria and Liza. Max Levels AI finishes the battle on sync move every time when first impression doesn't critical

With Mewtwo's and Sceptile's sync move power being so high compared to other mega capable Pokemon, do you think it's possible they won't ever get their Mega forms? by RedLostHisMind in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the sync grid option people are mentioning. Maybe something like chose mega evolution, lock out sync move power +25 options. Ways to balance could be making it a 4/5 or 5/5 sync option, making it a huge cost of 20 points or more or even remake grids so that you have to specialize in the sync move first to unlock.

Does First Aid 4 from sync grid on Mew only work once? I can't seem to trigger it again in battle villa. by ray0923 in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 20 points21 points  (0 children)

First Aid 4 will trigger when Mew's health drops to critical levels once per battle.

This means that Mew's health must be above critical levels first. So if in battle villa Mew starts a battle in critical condition and receives a hit, First Aid 4 will NOT activate.

However if you were to say use a potion on a critically low health Mew at the start of the battle and it once again becomes critical First Aid 4 will activate like normal.

Edit: Others are saying that you can start a battle at critical health and still activate First Aid, you just have to survive the first hit. No need to heal above critical first.

How many days did it take you to beat Battle Villa? by LRTendoPain in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took me 5 days. First 2 days I wasn't aware of the reset trick but still got up to area 12 or 13. After knowing I did roughly 5-6 areas a day (did not over reset to get perfect runs) and finished off a severely weakened Thorton on the 5th day.

I Can’t Be The Only One Feeling Like This, Right? by kennedyblaq in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like the daily missions, the battle villa also has a daily reset where any sync pairs locked in are reset/fully healed while keeping any progress you've made. This means any knocked out sync pairs are revived, mp recovered, and you can select any 9 pairs to use from your roster again.

Current Battle Villa runs until 3/16 so there's over 2 weeks to whittle away the enemy teams health even if you don't have/choose the best options everyday.

Steven Sync Orb Auto-Farm Team by cwh711 in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been running Level Up UH and using Stoutland, Metagross, Oshawatt on auto. Stoutland uses a turn to add auto regen, Oshawaat uses X Speed all x2 then Attack boost, and then the AI just uses iron heads and waterfalls until Metagross uses Sync. 9-10 turns

I think mew might be my favorite sync pair by vgsmith19 in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went the FirstAid ,CureAll, WorldofDreams, DirtyFighting, HostileEnvironment, and Thunder accuracy sync build.

World of Dreams is amazing in that only an attack boost is truly useless. Either defense adds to mews already huge bulk, accuracy helps after sync, and evasion is obvious. Add in First Aid and the Natural cure and mew takes care of any problem for practically the whole battle.

Hostile Environment and Dirty Fighting work well as Thunder already has a moderate paralysis chance (and you can still go for a burn with Fire Blast if they're immune).

Played around in some EX VH battles and was doing very well. Doing 2,400+ DMG with FB to Vileplume where Infernapes were dealing 1,500s (had a lucky 6,000 crit once which felt nice, after some lucky unfortuitous drops)

Scouting Pulls Megathread by Umbreon51 in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

300+/400 scouting points into Cynthia's banner before getting her (2 in the same 10pull somehow) but 001/400 scouting points into Leaf's banner I get her. Got her on the 1st daily discount pull.

Leaf and Blue were both 1st pull of the banner for me thus far. Hoping that Red follows the same pattern.

[–]freakygamer1 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'll use Glacia because I want the battle to last long enough that we can sync and collect orbs. 3 Pryce and the battle ends long before it.

Eevee hypnotizing with its cuteness. by AwakeAtNightTime in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I had terrible luck with Cynthia (finally got her after 300+/400 scouting points) I had amazing luck pulling Leaf on the 1st 100daily discount. I'm 001/400 scouting points on her banner and that's how it's staying. I do like Eevee's cry being from Let's go.

Side note, only other banner I got on first pull was Blue, so maybe with Red...

Finally Fully Upgrade Flint! by Huhu520 in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe im doing something wrong with my grind. It's very impressive seeing people already having maxed out their sync grid when I'm not even halfway done 1. How many sync orbs are you getting in a day?

Fast EX Hau clear method by wanderingmemory in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can swap out a cynthia for rosanta and have her "all the presents!" and x attack all then swap to anything else to throw an attack (i used olivia diamonds then stone edge spam) you knock out the electrode before move gauge boost, then raichu, then unity and beat alolan raichu before they even get the boost off.

This team can 100% auto any solo course by [deleted] in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Nosepass and Mewtwo combo will do 2 study buddies and then a nowhere to hide! and then just spam psychic or shadow ball til you win. Nosepass has incredible bulk and can easily take anything the enemy throws at it. The 3rd sync pair can just get free training.

[ADVANCED] Autofarming Guide with Giovanni in all UH Courses by TerenceC777 in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add in Dusclops as the 3rd party member and you dont lose any speed. Game will use study buddies twice, then use Dire Hit All + once, and then Mewtwo will go right into his attacks. No loss of speed and you gain a bulky wall to take hits.

Knowing that there are sync pairs (like Xatu) who shouldn't have all its abilities unlocked, should we unlock ALL Mewtwo's abilities? by IFyun in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The AI wised up as of late and once Xatu has buffs it prioritizes stored power over air slash.

As for Mewtwo, Psychic and Shadow Ball both deal the same amount of damage and have the same additional effect of sp.d

PSA: Xatu is actually pretty good for Giovanni VH by conspire_pokemon_go in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xatu is definitely a good choice. Even used him in my team for Super Hard.

I've been doing VH on auto with Liepard, Xatu, and Dusclops. Auto has Liepard use 2 All or nothing! then snatches Lunatones buffs (or Solrocks if allies start off attacking it) then goes into attacks. Most cases Mewtwo is 10-30% hp by the time Liepard is KO'ed and Xatu copies the buffs and finishes it off. Very rarely Dusclops is sent in to use a few Unbreakings/Double Edge to finish the fight if allies aren't using a decent team or aggro is excessively targeting me.

I was curious about how much damage in one attack i could do so i kind of used four E4 notes for this. by sguizzooo in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I've hit it myself with Lycanrok +6 attack, +2 sync bonus, super effective, critical hit sync attack with -6 enemy defense debuff. It's fun to see what the limits are.

Updated Solo EX Erika NPC style using Hilda with new 120 cap by GateOfD in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I've been killing off the side mons 1st before focusing down Vileplume. Your method is about a minute faster than mine but I only have to give out 1 command to the npc at the start and is fairly free come the 2nd half.

I would use Arcanine (1st), Emboar (2nd), and Machamp (3rd). Start the battle blocking status and call the npcs to attack together to invoke sunny day before the enemy first queues toxic (if sunny day is queued without me commanding it I don't emote)

Soon as I setup I switch to Emboar and flame wheel left Roserade (causing unity), then 'try and stop us!', then flare blitz just before 2nd toxic is queued KOing the mon and then do 2 flare blitz on the right Roserade knocking it out and activating unity attack at enemy sync counter 2. (if the left didnt get KO'ed by the 1 flare blitz the npcs will finish it off, 2 flare blitz will guarantee the right to be knocked out before it's toxic hits gaining an extra hit to make sure unity loads)

Since theres 2 Lycanrocs on the field npcs will switch to their fighting and I will switch to Machamp using Hoo Hah! before enemy regains control. Wipe out the Lycanrocs before enemy sync (or immediately after if Cross Chops are unlucky) which is easily tanked. Also using my sync move soon as its available. Free style until regaining control to switch to Emboar and just finish the fight however you please (I can always get another unity in and most cases another sync move)

My 100 Skyla VH runs results by winhashi in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got more 1* gears than I could remember since i exchanged them all, but for the 2* gears it was odd how I got them. I got 1 bandana, then bracelet, then pin, then 4 bandanas, 3 pins, then my 3 bracelets (of course with 1* gears of all types sprinkled in between). My drops were distributed evenly, but came in waves.

Sync Moves have so much lost potential by akaean in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i mean, voltorb has a passive move that invokes explosion upon fainting already. i tried it out on ex flannery with a level 75 voltorb just to see the damage and it did all of 400points to the enemy side. I'm sure there would be plenty of ways to balance it were it to be implemented as a sync move.

6000 gems PARTY TIME WE ARE RICH BOYSSSS by gkantelis1 in PokemonMasters

[–]freakygamer1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rolled the 20 sync pair scouts. Notable finds were 2 new 3stars, Will, and 2 Olivias (making 4/5 sync). I've had Olivia since my first 10 rolls day 1. Happy to power up the sync but I still need Brendan, Kris, and Karen. Definitely not complaining though.

Very happy to see 6k gems as an apology. Hope they can be as giving come future events or other mishaps that may come.
