0:00 – Vs. Entei: EX Elio / Strike Squirtle / Support Clefairy
3:31 – Vs. Tapu Bulu: Kimono Grimsley / Looker / Mesprit
7:07 – Vs. Tornadus: EX Silver / EX Colress / BP Erika
12:35 – My leftover units
Here’s a spreadsheet detailing the 122 teams I used for this run: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/155rNBzvLFA-9G_rnQneCgoLRiElQ6DS0v3sQlcQzZxw/edit
This Gauntlet was a ride haha. My initial goal was 100, but since I was doing a lot more solos and duos than usual, I figured I could extend that 100 goal a bit once I got there. And I did – I managed to extend it to the number of units I have that had at least 50% proc rates in paralysis (+2 Piercing Blows units) hahaha.
Aside from the paralysis constraint, Tornadus was by far the hardest to teambuild with here, as the paralysis is only the beginning of your concerns – you also have to account for the Toxic and the constant AOE crits. Meanwhile, Bulu is easier to solo while Entei is easier to duo IMO.
I’m hoping I could keep the 100+ streak up for the next Gauntlets, but if any of them have Moltres or Cresselia then I’m only gonna aim for 50 lol.
I don’t really have a theme for the three clears in this video – I just wanted to show them haha. Here’s how each battle went, and the sync grids used:
Vs. Entei: EX Elio / Strike Squirtle / Support Clefairy – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=000911&s0=5&l0=140&r0=1&p0=0&a0=13010602&t0=44&n0=1&f0=0&v1=012200073000&s1=5&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=18050301&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFBggJCg0OEhMUJSYoKi0&v2=003620&s2=1&l2=140&r2=1&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=41&n2=1&f2=0
Was trying to duo with just Elio and Squirtle but the timing was so precise that it didn’t seem worth it. I was facing gauge issues too. So I added in Support Clefairy, who not only has the trap and burn immunities but also has Potions for emergencies. I know that Tech Blastoise is the better pick for Gauntlet (and overall) but by this time I didn’t have any other Water-type units so I figured I’d use Strike Squirtle instead.
Vs. Tapu Bulu: Kimono Grimsley / Looker / Mesprit – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=021700045300&s0=1&l0=140&r0=5&p0=0&a0=13010602&t0=111&g0=AAECAwQFBgcICQoLERITFBUWHB0eHyUmJyg&v1=004801062500&s1=2&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=13010602&t1=1111&g1=AAECAwQFBgcICQsNDxITFRscHyMkJSYoKSs&v2=900000048100&s2=1&l2=140&r2=5&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=44&g2=AAECAwQFBgcICQoMERITFBobHB0eICUmJyg
Got both Kimono Grimsley and Looker from my Calem pulls, and I got a second Grimsley copy from the ticket scout. Was trying this with Support Koffing but it was getting KOed way too soon, so I switched to Mesprit. This is quite reliant on Grimsley’s 30% flinches – if I had him at 3/5 this would be much easier. I definitely wanted to do this so that I could use Metal Burst against Wood Hammer, and it was funny seeing it take away half of Bulu’s HP.
Vs. Tornadus: EX Silver / EX Colress / BP Erika – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=019100060100&s0=1&l0=140&r0=5&p0=0&a0=18050301&t0=11111&g0=AAECAwQFBgcICQoMERITFRobHB0jJCUmJyg&v1=013301025000&s1=5&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=13016303&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFBgkRExQVFh8gISMuLzAxMzQ&v2=000800011400&s2=3&l2=140&r2=4&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=44411&g2=AAECAwQFExQVFxgZHSMlJykrLC0
Self-Cleanse is so annoying hahaha. The idea here was to delay paralysis until right before Silver syncs so that Erika can block Toxic with Solar Shield. Since she has Sp Def buffs she can tank the Hurricanes, and she can heal up with Healing Sun and Absorb. Turns out, Tornadus didn’t even use Toxic because it kept on healing itself. Add on to that the Thunder Wave miss and clutch Colress sync in the end and you see why I wanted to show this clear lol.

I managed to hit 93 despite only initially planning to go for around 30. That's what happens when they re-use two bosses from July's gauntlet. Probably won't be able to do the next one since I'll be busy studying.
Congrats on 122!!
I got to 65 and very satisfied about that. Also, yes if I see Moltres or Cresselia in gauntlet, I’ll instantly only aim for 12 wins 🙂
YIPPIE YATTA YAHOO
Only managed 16 on my F2P account 😅 but I kept resetting to get a bunch of cookies and finally give my favorite sync pairs some much needed lucky skills they deserved. Happy for now, hopefully I'll be able to do more next run!
A streak of 122! That’s amazing, congrats 🙂
Also grats on getting Kimono Grimsley, he’s quickly become one of my favourite units to use for Steel Weak Stages. He’s a unit that really encourages knowing the stage beforehand, which I prefer to conventional strike units
I find it ironic, Unovan pokémon ends Unovan legendary
So this is how to get beyond 100 streak… by doing 1v1 and 2v1… ended my streak on 89 and somehow the only unit i have left is eggmon jinx 😶
I didn't know squirtle can do that much damage
I hit 54 and called it quits. It’s fun, but not at all worth the migrane I suffered afterwards.
