Pokemon Masters EX | LG XIII | F2P 12 Win Streak | Latios/Azelf/Cobalion | February 2024

If you would like more alternative teams that use more limited sync pairs, I will be posting my 30 streak clear within a week and will link it here once it’s up.

While technically this is a F2P guide, newer players with less resources and less invested units will have a challenge building their streak.

Here are the restrictions I imposed on myself when building these teams
– All general pool 3* to 4* sync pairs are allowed, with the assumption that they are at least 3/5
– If sync pairs that are obtainable through the story are used, it is taken into consideration as to whether or not the player may have them at 3/5 and above (Barry for instance is more reasonable to assume he’s at 3/5 amongst players versus Rosa and Acerola)
– Free legendary units and their expansions are allowed, although I have listed alternative strategies and sync grids to use these units in the pinned comment if you haven’t obtained it’s EX and sync grid expansion yet
– BP units are allowed, however I excluded Master BP pairs as they’re harder to obtain and fully invest into
– Event units are exuded this time around
– Lodge units are allowed, however the Lodge units that are permitted are ones that can be obtained with F2P sync pairs the game provides (for instance, while Lodge Elesa is free like Lodge Blue, hers is locked behind unlocking the unit via general scout pull so she is disqualified from this list)
– Eggmons are allowed, though I suggest swapping them out for a better sync pair that fulfills the same role.
– All sync pairs in these teams are gridded while once again taking into consideration how many copies a F2P player may have then.
– EX F2P sync pairs are to have their EXs and boosts optional and will not make or break a team if they’re are or are not. From personal experience, I recommend upgrading your 3* units to 4* at a minimum before taking on gauntlet.

If you happen to have a better sync pair on hand, feel free to swap out another sync pair for it. This video is moreso a guide to show how you can ball on a budget to get the first time rewards and to build a streak to grind out cookies.

In a nutshell, here are the general strategies of each one of the legendaries featured in the guantlet:
Latios – Take it out as soon as possible before it shreds both your defenses and take you out.
Azelf – Sustain yourself long enough to outlast the different damage stages.
Cobalion – Reset if poisoned and bring someone that can inflict a Status Condition (preferably Paralysis and Sleep)

I’ll be going into much more depth of each of the teams and the strategy I employ with each of them as well as sync grids in the pinned comment.
