(I sped up the footage to make it easier to upload. Use the playback speed option if you want it to be slower or faster.)
This lineup is a repeat of the second-ever rotation, which was held around a year and half ago. It is, bar none, the hardest rotation we’ve ever had, and if Gauntlet really is just going through the 8 rotations from now on (which I sincerely hope won’t be the case), it will be the hardest rotation we’ll ever have.
Fortunately, a lot has changed since the original run of this rotation, most notable of which for this video is how all of the F2P units now have sync grids. This allowed me to make this video relatively more accessible than the LG2 F2P video (https://youtu.be/6vMOwaTt15Q), though as usual, all of the units I use here are fully invested in terms of sync grids and lucky skills.
I don’t use any of the F2P Trainer Lodge units nor the event-exclusive free units, but I do use BP units since I needed more diverse kits. I also ignore all of the event-limited power boosts that the Legendary Adventure units have – with the exception of Hop, as his is available right now. I unfortunately can’t ignore Sycamore’s EX because of the nature of his kit, but that clear is very much possible without it.
I also used 3-star off-type gears throughout all of these clears to make it more realistic for newer players, but if you have 3-star on-type gears by all means use them.

Here's how each battle went and the sync grids used. Check the replies too for the rest of the write-ups.
I also added some notes about the MP Refresh procs I needed to give you an idea on if you need to reset a lot for these runs.
Uxie 1: EX Giovanni / Blaine / Liza – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=005900007800&s0=5&l0=140&r0=4&p0=0&a0=21010101&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFBggLDRMVFhcYGSMkJQ&v1=014000015000&s1=5&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=4411&g1=AAECAwQFBhESFBUWFxgaGycoKSs&v2=003000033700&s2=5&l2=140&r2=3&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=44141&g2=AAECAwQFBgcICw0ODxEUFxga
Even without mega evolving, Giovanni does good damage with Shadow Ball. Since I don't sync with him at all to emulate not having his power boost (you should be syncing with him for better damage), I paired him with Liza so that she can take the syncs for Synchro Healing. I've used the Liza-Giovanni duo against Uxie a lot of times already, but I don't think I've paired them with Blaine yet, so I did so here lol.
(No MPRs needed here, just some luck needed to get the burn procs on Flame Wheel.)
Latias 1: Koga / Janine / EX Sycamore – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=006000016800&s0=5&l0=140&r0=3&p0=0&a0=21010101&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFBggLDQ4PEB0eHyM&v1=005400016900&s1=3&l1=140&r1=4&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFFRcYGRojJSksLi8&v2=013600071600&s2=5&l2=140&r2=5&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=41141&g2=AAECAwQFGhweISMkJikrLS8
Janine is one of the best F2P picks for Latias as she debuffs three stats with one move, and she even has an extra Discombobulate tile on her grid for more debuffs. Since she needs to poison the target to get those debuffs, I paired her up with her father to make good use of it. Sycamore tanked for this stage to give Koga Sp Atk buffs, and his Impervious takes care of a lot of shenanigans in Bar 1. The +6 evasion could've been avoided in a luckier run, but thankfully sync moves can't miss.
(1 MPR on Koga's trainer move needed to max his crit and evasion. If you have Sycamore's power boost unlocked, you can get Team Sharp Entry 1 from his grid to remove the need for MPR.)
Moltres 1: EX Cyrus / Winona / Marlon – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=004200027900&s0=5&l0=140&r0=3&p0=0&a0=21010101&t0=44441&g0=AAECAwQFBggJCg0QGhwfISIjJCY&v1=019400048400&s1=5&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=4444&g1=AAECAwQFERQXGh8hIycqKy8&v2=005200056500&s2=5&l2=140&r2=3&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=44444&g2=AAECAwQFBhMUGhwfISMkJiks
Probably the simplest F2P Moltres clear I could put together that, while still reliant on Winona's flinches, doesn't immediately fall apart if they don't proc. Cyrus deals heavy damage with Hydro Pump especially in Bar 2 – the most dangerous – while Marlon provides helpful buffs, most notably an accuracy buff so Hydro Pump doesn't miss. Rain Gear also lets him tank more effectively.
(No MPRs needed, but one on Marlon's X Defense would be helpful.)
Uxie 2: Shauntal / Lucy / EX Skyla – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=019800033600&s0=5&l0=140&r0=4&p0=0&a0=21010101&t0=11111&g0=AAECAwQFBgcKDRAREhUWGRodIA&v1=002400060900&s1=5&l1=140&r1=4&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=44141&g1=AAECAwQFBh8hIiMkJyksLS8&v2=001600058100&s2=3&l2=140&r2=3&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=44411&g2=AAECAwQFERITFBUWFxgaJicoKQ
While Shauntal's grid expansion makes her more self-sufficient, she is still quite frail, so I paired her with Skyla for the healing. Lucy takes care of Uxie's gimmicks and while she's weak to Psychic, she has regen on her trainer move as well as Sp Def buffs to make up for it.
(1 MPR on Shauntal's trainer move is needed to max her crit. 1 MPR on Skyla's trainer move is not needed but appreciated to max out stats. And as you saw from the run, Potion MPR wasn't needed.)
Latias 2: Kahili / Oak / Cheryl – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=013700015100&s0=5&l0=140&r0=3&p0=0&a0=21010101&t0=4411&g0=AAECAwQFBgsNGx0fISIjJicp&v1=005800073300&s1=5&l1=140&r1=4&p1=0&a1=13010602&t1=41111&g1=AAECAwQFBgkKDQ4PERQXGi4v&v2=002300024200&s2=5&l2=140&r2=3&p2=0&a2=18046402&t2=44111&g2=AAECAwQFBggLDhMUFRYYGRobHSAj
Took me this long to realize that Kahili has both Piercing Gaze and Defense debuffs, making her a pretty good pick against Latias. Oak has a debuff roulette that he can guarantee with Swift while Cheryl provides healing with both her trainer move and Team Sync Regen.
(I needed an MPR on Cheryl's trainer move for the extra healing and defenses. I'm not too sure if this is possible without it.)
Moltres 2: Candice / Nanu / BP Surge – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=005600005301&s0=3&l0=140&r0=4&p0=0&a0=17010201&t0=4111&g0=AAECAwQFBggLDRUWFxweISMlJicp&v1=002500046000&s1=5&l1=140&r1=3&p1=0&a1=17010201&t1=44411&g1=AAECAwQFBgcIEhMWFxkpLC0u&v2=003500002600&s2=3&l2=140&r2=4&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=41414&g2=AAECAwQFBggLDhocHiEkLC4
Candice is weak to Fire, so this clear relies a lot on Nanu's flinches. She can take some hits and recover them with Healing Hail (and BP Surge's Synchro Healing) but you still want to get this over with as quickly as possible. There is also a very real possibility of an Ice Punch freeze ruining your run as that would lead to Moltres automatically queueing Flare Blitz, which you can't prevent with flinch since it's frozen.
(1 MPR needed on Hail – I suggest resetting until you get it in the first turn.)
This is gonna be a tough one for sure
