Pokémon Masters EX Damage Challenge Anni Serena 58M w 4/5 Gym Marnie and Anni Gloria!

Wow Serena is so good! These gears are honestly not great (90 attack, 18% move Serena, and literally zero for Marnie), yet she still hits damage cap at the end! I needed a .95 or above for that cap, someone with better gears would be better off gridding the extra sync move tile instead of one of the B move BPs, but in my case on average the B move BP was going to be better overall bc the first B could never cap (but it could with a 33% gear). My first run I thought was really solid, with 4 SEUN B moves, however the first two that were under Kalos circle were single break and the last two lost Kalos circle. I also couldn’t get Serena to sync 4th without losing something else. That run didn’t use any Marnie B moves, and honestly I wasn’t expecting to use any because it’s so incredibly slow, but with the time saving at the start of this run I could afford to use it to minimize defenses as well as top off the MUNs for the first B. Serena generally will have a conundrum of wanting to sync early for that dark rebuff, but wanting to sync later since she only has 80 seconds of Kalos circle. Gloria basically always wants to go exactly second, so it’s tricky getting both breaks, both circles, and rebuff on as much as possible. I wound up settling on 2 B moves, but I’m positive there are many other ways to do well here! Harmony doesn’t fit as well as a third this time because there isn’t enough flinch/accel combo to keep all three breaks and with the lack of sync buffs she would have to enable an extra sync, and that’s not happening (at least not w 4/5 Marnie). I don’t have the new Carmine pair, but my guess is she won’t provide as much as Gloria, but could maybe allow a competitor to use Gloria elsewhere. It’s fun to have both B moves maxed out! The rolls are wild here, my best run was actually 58.3, but it had worse grids and just rolled better. I wanted to post the one with the better grid since it’s more useful to others. That first B having an 8.96 and an 8.15 is a great illustration of how wild the rolls are. I was hoping to roll to 60, but considering I can’t compete with these mediocre gears and a 4/5 Marnie I’ll take it! Part of why I’m comfortable sharing this is I’m positive it isn’t what top comps will be doing. Deciding to post or not is tough, I don’t want to hurt any competitors, but the main reason I have YT is to help people improve in DC as well as hopefully get more people into it so waiting until after achieves neither of those goals. I haven’t put much thought into the 10/5 Marnie comp, but I’m fairly certain 3 very significant B moves can be achieved without losing too much due to the extra accel. I have a strong feeling we will see a 70M, but will have to wait to find out! Even just good gears and this run is well over 60, Marnie adds quite a bit with a very nice 10/5 skill as well as damage boosts (mine is 180 still lol), so I’ll be really interested to see what others come up with! This is the only one I can do anything on for this super sparring, I did pull Dawn but she will be forever 1/5 since my dragon roster is miserable, actually ran her with Anni Irida and Aca Kris and it’s a sad score (although best I’ve ever done in dragon since I have always had terrible dragons). My flying is just Gloria bounce and sync, and while that historically is pretty good it’s better suited for 3v1 and certainly can’t compete with Blue, who I honestly think could maybe out score Serena (I have some ideas, but can’t get my 43% flying gear gymmate to try in Dc lol). So anyway glad to not have to worry about competing, good luck to all that compete, I see Sora did some amazing stuff again and I know TY can rock flying so excited to see how that plays out!
