6*EX Caitlin & Reuniclus at 2500pts Champion Stadium | Pokémon Masters EX

I covered 6*EX Caitlin pre-boost, but her upgrade is significant enough to merit a new video. Old video is going unlisted:    • 6*EX Caitlin & Reuniclus On-Type/Off-Type ...   Caitlin can be summarized as "bootleg Giovanni." Upon release both Giovanni and Caitlin needed offensive Support, with Giovanni wanting Sp.Atk buffs and Caitlin requiring Crit. When Giovanni got his grid Caitlin could not compete as a Psychic-type Striker anymore. Giovanni gained offensive multipliers, while Caitlin had to settle with tanking tiles. Caitlin is actually very bulky. Between 3* Psychic Gear, Catalytic Cure 2 and Healthy Healing she front-lines remarkably well, which is where she has found success in Gauntlet. Caitlin's grid expansion added 4 passives: Trainer Move Critical Eye 2, Super Freebie 9, Furious Brain and Sync Power Flux. These additions change Caitlin's dynamics entirely. Caitlin is now an autonomous Striker with fast set-up, reaching +4 Sp.Atk, +3 Crit, +2 Def and +2 Sp.Def in 2 turns. Her ideal team compositions top off her Sp.Atk with Anniversary May. Furious Brain is free DPS, while Sync Power Flux has a few quirks to it. Sync Power Flux increases in damage the fuller the bar is when you click your sync move, and it's affected by whether you play with 4 bars or 6 bars in Champion Stadium. The extra damage matters enough to the point you can trade 4 bars for Str+3 and compensate for the additional bulk. The extra bars let you play with greedier compositions that demand a lot of gauge. Caitlin gained very few multipliers, but her base Sp.Atk is so high it's enough to fuel her output. To put things into perspective, off-type Caitlin outscales off-type SS Lusamine. Caitlin's damage ceiling remains lower than Giovanni, but the key lies in how easily Caitlin achieves her set-up. Her multipliers basically have no conditionals and she doesn't have to work for her buffs, where Giovanni has to compromise with dedicated Sp.Atk supports, niche Sp.Def debuffers and fit Psychic Terrain somehow. Caitlin's set-up is so compact she can afford damage boosters. In the short-term she outscales Giovanni. I thought about delaying this showcase until SS Lana's release, but I don't think Caitlin needs her output. Caitlin is more about removing sides with her nuke, which overlaps with SS Lana's Extend Range DPS. [0:00] - Nuke Peepee This is what self-sufficiency does to an mf. Caitlin only demands +2 Sp.Atk to complete her nuke. Anniversary May compresses that along Psychic Terrain, which yields complete freedom to the choice of third. I went with Anniversary Raihan for SE Next and a ramp. I intended to use his SMUN stacks but Caitlin flat-out deleted the stage Turn 3 which got a chuckle out of me. I got to show Sand Shelter I guess. [1:37] - Off-Type Caitlin can speedrun off-type too. I wouldn't recommend tanking with her like this though. Her bulk falters if you give enemies a lot of Atk options. [3:21] - Zoneless I'm not going full budget because a 6*EX Caitlin assumes you've been playing for a while. Either way, I wanted to display Caitlin's tanking capabilities. I paired her with Lucian. I showed this dynamic with Giovanni some time ago: Lucian debuffs sides to clear them with Caitlin's nuke first sync, then Lucian closes the fight with Burst In second sync. Lucian needs some help completing Sp.Atk, but I wanted some defensive backup for Caitlin too. I went with Cheryl to cover both demands. Cheryl handles special damage better than Caitlin, but she gets demolished by physical moves, which is where Caitlin steps in. This also let me pick the Supports Take x3 Damage option. [5:44] - Unova Gaming Caitlin and Bianca always had good regional cohesion, although Psychic + Unova Theme Skills wasn't enough to let Caitlin surpass Giovanni... until now. With Caitlin's newfound self-sufficiency this party doesn't have to run a super dedicated Sp.Atk + Crit support, so I went with SS Elesa for her ramping perks. I had Bianca handle tanking to grid Caitlin with more damage. [7:46] - Anchoring Caitlin can tank for a variety of teams, but what's interesting is her ability to anchor Triple Strike. My friends refer to this as "greed." Instead of enhancing your Strikers you add more damage sources. The Strikers in question need some serious self-sufficiency to pull this off. I avoided Psychic Terrain because I showed enough of that earlier in the video. I still went with a full Psychic lineup, although you can fit any manner of Triple Strike with Anniversary May or SS Lana if you wish. I went with Lear and SS Lusamine to expedite sync moves faster. _____ The Eggmon Compendium: https://bit.ly/eggmoncompendium I stream Pokémon Masters sometimes:   / zinfogel
