For the first time, an LG rotation features a brand-new LA that was released on the same day as Gauntlet. While I’m hyped that they’re back to introducing new LAs on a semi-consistent basis, I really wish they unlocked the stage a week before Gauntlet so that we’d have an easier time to prepare.
That said, Registeel being brand new is probably part of this rotation’s challenge anyway, and I’m looking forward to all the crazy teams people come up with.
For this video, I allowed myself to use BP units since I really needed the additional options for supports. Should you not have a certain BP unit invested, I’ll add in some potential replacement options from the general pool.
I also challenged myself to not use any MP Refresh tiles so that there would be minimal resetting needed, but you’ll definitely be resetting a couple of times because of paralysis / flinch / Tornadus’ Self-Cleanse and whatnot.

Here's how each battle went and the sync grids used. Check out the reply for the rest of the sync grids and write-ups:
Tornadus 1: Whitney / Norman / BP Janine – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=000900028900&s0=3&l0=140&r0=3&p0=0&a0=21010101&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFBgcICw0PEBESEx8iJA&v1=002600024100&s1=5&l1=140&r1=4&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFBgoLDiMlKSwtLg&v2=006000016900&s2=3&l2=140&r2=4&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=4111&g2=AAECAwQFBggLDQ8QERMWGRoc
It's always fun to use Whitney in these videos as I often underestimate just how powerful her sync nuke is. BP Janine hastens her setup while Norman activates the type skill and provides consistent paralysis. All three have ways to heal themselves up too.
If you don't want to redeem BP Janine, you can run Whitney with any tank that has a way to ignore Toxic such as Lodge Acerola or Shauna. For both of them, you'd want to replace X Speed Critical Eye with X Speed MPR to max out Whitney's speed.
Latios 1: Cyrus / Mina / Cheryl – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=003400021000&s0=5&l0=140&r0=3&p0=0&a0=21010101&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFFRYXGSMlJyorLA&v1=019400048400&s1=5&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=4444&g1=AAECAwQFBggJCg0OEBEUFxofLw&v2=002300024200&s2=5&l2=140&r2=3&p2=0&a2=18040801&t2=44444&g2=AAECAwQFExQVGBobHSAjJikrLA
Very straightforward. Cyrus has very high damage for an F2P unit and he's super-effective for the first 2 bars. Mina reduces Attack to help Cheryl tank the physical moves better.
Cyrus doesn't need his power boost or EX, but if you have him EXed you can sync with him second to take out the sides quicker. I probably shouldn't have gotten Sharp Entry and Dragon Guard on Mina's grid.
Registeel 1: Marshal / Koga / Hop – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=005400016900&s0=3&l0=140&r0=4&p0=0&a0=18097902&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFBgcKDQ8REhojJCUpKissLQ&v1=006300053400&s1=5&l1=140&r1=4&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFBgkMDxAcHR8iJyot&v2=024400088901&s2=5&l2=140&r2=5&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=44444&g2=AAECAwQFBggLDRAaHB8hJCYoKi0
Koga is the most consistent Sp Def debuffer among the F2P options while Marshal is one of many Def debuffers available in the F2P pool. Hop tanks like a champ though he definitely appreciates the fast work in Bar 2 since his special bulk isn't as good as his physical bulk.
Hop's EX and power boost aren't needed, but if you have his EX unlocked you should sync with him first. Witty Hit on Koga is a leftover from the previous Gauntlet – it's not needed at all. He would actually much rather have Vigilance so he can better tank the sure crit Earthquake.
Tornadus 2: Silver / Marley / Erika – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=009700005900&s0=5&l0=140&r0=3&p0=0&a0=18040802&t0=4444&g0=AAIDBAUGCAsNDxMWFyYoKis&v1=013300025000&s1=5&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=13010602&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFBgkRFBUYGh8gISMuLw&v2=000800004500&s2=3&l2=140&r2=3&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=44444&g2=AAECAwQFBggLDhASExQXIyUnKA
Silver's constant sun lets Erika tank very well thanks to her defensive passives and Healing Sun 2. She also uses Tornadus' Self-Cleanse to her advantage since every time she uses Stun Spore, she debuffs Sp Atk. Marley buffs Silver's Speed and Attack as well as cures Erika from Toxic.
Stoic on Marley is a leftover from a previous clear – she can work with Vigilance here. The extra levels on Silver aren't needed. This'll be easier if you have Silver's power boost unlocked as that lets him boost Attack with his TM. If you have Dauntless on Silver, you can go for an Overheat build and run Marley with Hype Up instead.
Latios 2: Iris / Janine / Liza – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=006000016800&s0=5&l0=140&r0=3&p0=0&a0=21010101&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFBggLDhMWGRobHiE&v1=009200061200&s1=3&l1=140&r1=3&p1=0&a1=17020609&t1=4444&g1=AAECAwQFERQVFhgZGx4hIyQl&v2=003000033700&s2=5&l2=140&r2=3&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=44444&g2=AAECAwQFBgcICw0OERQVGCYoKi0
You'll find a consistent pattern here where I put all of my Attack and Sp Atk debuffers on Latios while the Def and Sp Def ones go on Registeel. Janine fills that role here so that Iris can safely spam Outrage. Liza provides consistent healing as well as defensive buffs.
Registeel 2: Giovanni / Brawly / Roxanne – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=004300029700&s0=5&l0=140&r0=3&p0=0&a0=21010101&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFBggLDRAVGCksLi8&v1=014000015000&s1=5&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=13010602&t1=4444&g1=AAECAwQFBgkKDQ8RFBcaGygr&v2=004400047600&s2=5&l2=140&r2=3&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=44111&g2=AAECAwQFERQVFhkaHB4hJCUm
Probably the hardest clear among the 12 in this video, but I put it early since it doesn't rely on flinches or good timing like the two Registeel clears later on. It's quite straightforward – Giovanni and Brawly take care of the debuffs while Roxanne takes care of buffing – but any crippling effects from Registeel's moves such as paralysis or flinch really ruins the run. At the very least, you should let Roxanne block the first sure crit Earthquake with Wide Guard.
Giovanni's EX and power boost aren't needed here. I didn't sync with him to emulate this, but if you have his power boost unlocked, you should ideally let him mega evolve for the better stats.
You know torchic has become a pretty solid support when it made rainless Clair and Pryce work.
That was fast! You're the best!
Whitney does an absolutely absurd amount of sync damage I was absolutely shocked by her results lmao
You're always on point with these. Nice play.
