6*EX 3/5 SS Serena & Zygarde Off-Type at 2000pts Champion Stadium | Pokémon Masters EX

Описание: I had some comments asking why Serena is so good. It mostly boils down to Power Hold 5. She has a free 50% multiplier which is kind of like having an innate Dragon Zone. What happens is that you stack all her other qualities on top of Power Hold 5 and she is unlike anything we've ever seen before.

At 3/5 Zygarde is immensely more consistent with Brainpower and Soften Up 1. All rounds use neutral parameters to avoid bumping Serena's damage.

This is the standard Serena mode. Lucas fattens her nuke with Dragon Zone and helps with DPS. With Soften Up 1 Serena can Sure Crit her nuke at +2 Crit so the third slot boils down to preference. I like Costume Diantha because she can debuff center while stacking extra damage. She also buffs Kalos Flag Bearer.

If you have Lucas, nuke Serena is the absolute most consistent way of running her. At this point the best I can do is show modes without Dragon Zone.

The previous showcase was for consistency, but if you play with aggressive options Serena can sync rush with spaghetti partners. As long as the stage doesn't have a phat HP pool or improved Sp.Def (Dark-weak Will or Caitlin for instance) this is pretty comfy.

In this case Serena wants Crit support to guarantee Crit for Core Enforcer. The third is nearly irrelevant. A Kalos tank for the Kalos Flag Bearer boost is good enough. I tried Koga for Sp.Def debuffs but it forced me to add more bulk to the enemy which doesn't quite cut it.

Serena has Head Start 1 so you can supply -2 sync countdown and play for fast ramping. There are a loooot of ways to fast ramp these days. SS Elesa, SS Dawn, SS Cynthia, SS Lusamine, Classic Red, SS Leon, Lysandre, Head Start 1 stuff (Leon). I could show them all but I think Anniversary Raihan is the best option.

Raihan can ramp with Sandstorm Propulsion 9 while giving Serena Special Move Up Next stacks to fatten Core Enforcer. If the enemy has a gross HP pool, as is the case with Fire-weak Grismley, Raihan can help with MAX Wyrmwind to close the fight. Ingo buffs +3 Crit and he cannot die in Sandstorm. He also buffs +2 Sp.Atk to help Raihan complete his offense.


[6:20] - Only 90's kids remember FueBoomer ramping
https://pokemon-masters-stuff.github....
Instead of showing more baby ramping, let's do SS Elesa + SS Cynthia. This is a ramping core FueBoomer used way back. SS Cynthia is cool because, at half-health, she has a consistent ramp with Trainer Move MPR4. This core is now stronger with the ubiquity of Head Start 1 as a Lucky Skill.

Because SS Serena has innate Head Start 1, we have the possibility of syncing Turn 1 with a Leg-Up 2 proc. This is avoidable if SS Cynthia has Head Start 1 as a Lucky Skill, which might as well be her best metagame use right now.


[8:08] - Evelyn stonks
https://pokemon-masters-stuff.github....
Evelyn is a notable SS Serena partner because she boosts Kalos Flag Bearer while stacking Fire Teamwork to Serena's output. I dislike how slow she plays but this mode is very safe all things considered. Kiawe completes Crit and his debuffs helps the whole party do extra chip. Rejuvenate 6 ensures a smooth gauge rotation.


[10:29] - Restrain stonks
https://pokemon-masters-stuff.github....
SS Serena's greatest utility is fast Restrain. She can enable 6*EX Selene or something. This mode could improve a lot in the future.
