Ghost/Dark are not good types for me, but somehow I made it through with a respectable score. Currently ranked around 65 after 2 days in the event. I expect to drop to around 150-200.
1) Acerola (11,100 str, 47,175 pts) – Houndoom (6EX, 5/5), Purrloin (5*, 5/5), Dusknoir (6EX, 5/5)
That -3 countdown parameter is so hard to deal with. What’s even worse is that the enemy uses physical moves, but has Smart Cookie so you have to debuff Sp.Def. Dusknoir provides defensive support, Purrloin gives flinch, gym leader theme, and debuffs SpDef. Houndoom strikes. I had to get perfect flinches to achieve this score.
2) Fantina (25,500 str, 90,009 pts) – H-Samurott (6EX+, 3/5), S-Greninja (6EX, 2/5), BP Mismagius (6EX, 3/5)
I uploaded a separate vid for this, but basically this is a fast-kill playstyle where we eliminate middle before sync. This is made possible due to Calem’s buffs. Of course, we need good flinches from Morty as well.
3) Agatha (20,400 str, 74,376 pts) – Marshadow (6EX+, 3/5), Polteageist (6EX, 1/5), Oricorio (1/5)
Polteageist provides Sp Def and tanking, Oricorio is mostly here to drop their attack. Marshadow has excellent survivability, she gets to +6 evasion easily and can dodge a lot of attacks, often allowing you to clutch a win from a bad situation. This can be improved a bit, but will require a lot of grinding. Alternatively I could candy Lillie to 2/5, that would give us Potion MPR / MH. I’ve been thinking of candying Lillie for a while now, is it worth it?
4) Sidney (21,000 str, 52,640 pts) – Drifblim (6EX, 5/5), Zoroark (6EX, 1/5), Zapdos (6EX, 3/5)
I decided that Zapdos would probably net me more points than a 3-typed team. Drifblim and Zoroark eventually whittle away the enemy. This requires a fair amount of RNG with the flinches and enemy move choices.
5) N (14,700 str, 57,864 pts) – Lunala (6EX, 3/5), Sableye (6EX, 3/5), Liepard (5/5)
Sableye syncs always for Synchro Healing. Lunala actually goes for a Moonblast build in order to take out middle faster. Moongeist afterwards on the sides. Liepard steals stats and tries for flinches. Really annoying one, you just need pure DPS and I don’t have a great Ghost/Dark roster.
