Did a Sky Battle-themed run for CSMM a while ago (https://youtu.be/FzH1Gk4m3KY) so I wanted to revisit it for the Legendary Arenas. And unlike that video, all of these legendaries follow Sky Battle rules as well (aside from weird cases like Latios using Earthquake but I didn’t really want to force myself to deal with that too haha).
Here’s how each battle went, and the sync grids used:
Vs. Latios: EX Zinnia / Tech Gyarados / Winona – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=013040&s0=1&l0=140&r0=1&p0=0&a0=18040702&t0=44&n0=1&f0=0&v1=012901038400&s1=5&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=13016303&t1=4411&g1=AAECAwQFBgoMDxAoKywtLg&v2=004200027900&s2=5&l2=140&r2=3&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=44441&g2=AAECAwQFBgcICQoNEBEaHB8hIiM
Winona and Tech Gyarados overlap quite a lot in utility, but that shouldn’t stop you from running them together. Zinnia is pretty self-sufficient if you get Eagle Eye from her grid, and with all the flinches going around she has a lot of time to set it up. And of course her new mega makes things a lot easier.
Vs. Azelf: NY Lance / Darach / EX Falkner – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=015900039800&s0=3&l0=140&r0=5&p0=0&a0=13010602&t0=44111&g0=AAECAwQFBgcICw0OHR8hIi4&v1=011101013000&s1=1&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=13010602&t1=4111&g1=AAECAwQFBgcICQoLEhMUFRYcHR4fJSco&v2=015000027700&s2=3&l2=140&r2=5&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=4441&g2=AAECAwQFBhMUFRYYGhscHyIk
Originally had Nate instead of Darach so I could do a triple Fly/Bounce team, but Azelf KOed the team with its first sync. So I needed Darach’s debuffs on top of Falkner’s flinches. NY Lance also had emergency Potions in case the flinches didn’t land.
Vs. Tornadus: EX Classic Elesa / Drake / Sawyer – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=009400037300&s0=5&l0=140&r0=4&p0=0&a0=21010101&t0=4411&g0=AAECAwQFBgcKDA8QERMWGRobHiAhIg&v1=010601058700&s1=3&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=44141&g1=AAECAwQFFRgZIyUpKiwuLw&v2=006800043000&s2=3&l2=140&r2=4&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=444&g2=AAECAwQFBggTFhkaHB4hIiMk
Pretty straightforward, especially with Sawyer having Sync Cure to deal with Toxic. Not sure if getting Team Sharp Entry on Drake instead would’ve made this quicker (syncing with CElesa first instead of Sawyer) but eh.
Vs. Uxie: Will / Support Koffing / EX SS Brendan – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=011020&s0=1&l0=140&r0=1&p0=0&a0=21010101&t0=14&n0=1&f0=0&v1=004700017800&s1=5&l1=140&r1=4&p1=0&a1=13010602&t1=4111&g1=AAECAwQFBggKCw0cHR4gIiMuLw&v2=001901038100&s2=3&l2=140&r2=5&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=44444&g2=AAECAwQFBgcICw0QExQXGhweIQ
On top of the many buffs and debuffs SS Brendan already provides, he’s also a reliable paralysis inducer thanks to Dragon Breath HE1. He comboes that with Will’s confusion to deal with Uxie, and together they whittle down its health pretty handily. Support Koffing provides Defense buffs so Brendan can handle the Iron Tails better, and Sludge also shuts down Healthy Advantage.
Vs. Moltres: EX Silver / EX Blue / EX SS Morty – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=002100001800&s0=5&l0=140&r0=5&p0=0&a0=13010602&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFBgkKDA0RHiAhIiUmKQ&v1=013301025000&s1=5&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=13016303&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFBgkRFB8gISMkLi8wMTIz&v2=014802025001&s2=3&l2=140&r2=5&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=44411&g2=AAECAwQFGhwfISImKCkqLA
It’s the first time Moltres’s stage is available after SS Morty’s release, so I wanted to use the Fire/Flying legendaries against each other. True enough, the eternal sun means SS Morty tanks this stage like a champ, and he even has Flameproof to ignore the burns. Silver also loves the eternal sun for his sync nuke, while Blue provided flinches.
Vs. Cresselia: EX Champion Iris / Support Scyther / EX SS Dawn – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=012320&s0=1&l0=140&r0=1&p0=0&a0=21010101&t0=41&n0=1&f0=0&v1=009201063500&s1=3&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=18040702&t1=4411&g1=AAECAwQFERUYGRojJSkqKywu&v2=011602048800&s2=1&l2=140&r2=5&p2=0&a2=17041601&t2=4111&g2=AAECAwQFBgcICQoMERITFBobHB0eICUmJyg
Was trying this with a CBlue / Lisia / Nita team, but Nita didn’t have the bulk to tank the stage, especially since she’s weak to Cresselia’s Ice attacks. (Realized too that Bulldoze broke Sky Battle rules.) So I went with CIris to ignore the evasion buffs and SS Dawn to deal with the status conditions. Support Scyther was mostly filler but the +6 Speed made things easier.
