A tech unit that has more than one type of utility move in its kit? And it just so happens to be on a rival? Of course I’m gonna do a showcase on it!
While many have (deservedly) praised Palentines Marnie for her damage, she also has several ways to boost the damage of her teammates, making her pretty versatile all things considered. I used her across this week’s Champion Stadium, and all of the clears use the physical damage reduction parameter as that’s the first one.
(Also I have to point this out – the original title of this said “boosting strikers’ damage,” but then I realized that I didn’t use a single striker throughout the video hahaha)
Here’s how each battle went, and the sync grids used:
Vs. Will: EX Palentines Marnie / Masked Royal / Piers – https://pokemon-masters-stuff.github.io/#/team-builder/?id1=10245410000&e1=3&o1=714&g1=AAECAwQFBgcICQoMERITFRobHB0jJCUmJyg=&s1=1&id2=10117000000&e2=0&o2=750&g2=AAECAwQFBggLFRYXHB4jJSkqKw==&s2=2&id3=10256000000&e3=1&o3=738&g3=AAECAwQFBggKDRAaHB4fICIj&s3=3
Masked Royal and PalMarnie having similar debuffs may seem redundant, but it also means that they max out multipliers quicker. Piers maxes out Masked Royal’s crit and also activates type skills, and of course he gets to tank this stage with his Endurance and Obstruct shenanigans.
Vs. Koga: EX Palentines Marnie / Ghetsis / EX Elio – https://pokemon-masters-stuff.github.io/#/team-builder/?id1=10245410000&e1=3&o1=714&g1=AAECAwQFBgcICQoMERITFRobHB0jJCUmJyg=&s1=1&id2=10195000000&e2=1&o2=738&g2=AAECAwQFBggLDA0OERUYGhseIS4v&s2=5&id3=10122000000&e3=0&o3=750&g3=AAECAwQFBggJCg0OExobHh8gIyQl&s3=5
I’ve used Ghetsis in a lot of the unit showcase videos since he has so many multipliers that gel well with a lot of tech units. He appreciates PalMarnie’s Attack debuffs for Pecking Order, but he also makes good use of Team Sharp Entry 1, as he only gets to +2 crit himself. Elio completes Ghetsis’ Sp. Atk buffs and provides his singing to buy some free turns.
Vs. Bruno: EX Palentines Marnie / Palentines Dawn / EX Kiawe – https://pokemon-masters-stuff.github.io/#/team-builder/?id1=10245410000&e1=3&o1=714&g1=AAECAwQFBgcICQoMERITFRobHB0jJCUmJyg=&s1=1&id2=10116400000&e2=1&o2=738&g2=AAECAwQFBgcICgsMDQ8RFRocHyMkJSYoKQ==&s2=2&id3=10149000000&e3=1&o3=738&g3=AAECAwQFBggKDRARFBUYGhwfIg==&s3=3
I was originally trying to do this with Mina since she has innate Pecking Order, but I wasn’t doing enough damage. So I made it a double Palentines clear instead, as PalDawn makes good use of all the debuffs with Power Loving and her innate sync multiplier. (If I had her at 3/5 I would’ve also gotten Power Posture.) Kiawe adds to those debuffs with Unfortuitous 4, and he also gives offensive buffs.
Vs. Karen: EX Palentines Marnie / EX Champion Iris / Lillie – https://pokemon-masters-stuff.github.io/#/team-builder/?id1=10245410000&e1=3&o1=714&g1=AAECAwQFBgcICQoMERITFRobHB0jJCUmJyg=&s1=1&id2=10092800000&e2=0&o2=750&g2=AAECAwQFCw0VGBkjJSksLi8=&s2=3&id3=10118000000&e3=0&o3=750&g3=AAECAwQFExQVFhgaHB4hIiQ=&s3=5
CIris reaching stupidly high numbers again yay. Aside from being the video’s off-type clear, this also shows another aspect of PalMarnie’s utility – since Mawile mega evolves, it activates all three of its base passives a second time, which means that the opponents would be at -4 Atk and -4 Def, and your team would be at +2 crit from the passives alone. That’s perfect for CIris, who only gets to +1 crit on her own. Lillie completes the team by adding more debuffs and giving accuracy buffs so that Marnie doesn’t have to worry about missing Growl.
Vs. Lance: EX Palentines Marnie / Wikstrom / Sonia – https://pokemon-masters-stuff.github.io/#/team-builder/?id1=10245410000&e1=3&o1=714&g1=AAECAwQFBgcICQoMERITFRobHB0jJCUmJyg=&s1=1&id2=10055000000&e2=60&o2=30&g2=AAECAwQF&s2=5&id3=10259000000&e3=0&o3=750&g3=AAECAwQFBggKDBESExUWGhscHR8gJSYpKw==&s3=2
Of course, the units that appreciate PalMarnie’s kit the most are physical Steel-types, taking advantage of both Steel Wish and her Defense debuffs. But while the likes of Steven and Gloria all pair well with PalMarnie, no one synergizes better with her kit than Wikstrom. Not only does he get boosted by Steel Wish and the Defense debuffs, but he also has innate Pecking Order to make use of the Attack debuffs, and he also gets to +2 crit by himself so PalMarnie maxes it out with her crit buff. Sonia completes the team to add more Defense debuffs as well as Speed buffs to help with gauge management.
