VERY POWERFUL Striker!: 1/5 EX-R Giacomo and Kingambit Showcase - Pokémon Masters EX

I think it goes without saying that Giacomo is the standout of this months units, at least in terms of his kit. This guy has very strong multipliers and a super high Attack stat, only held back by the fact that his good grid nodes are at 5/5 (and one other factor, but I’ll get to that soon). While his kit was partly why I pulled him, I mostly went for him because of his theme, and he’s my second favorite of the Team Star Bosses, barely losing out to Mela. Plus, I can never go wrong with more Dark types. While pulling for him, I did hear some people say he was “overhyped” and I partially agree. On-Type he’s a MONSTER, but Off-Type his damage isn’t much to write home about, besides his B Move. Even still, he’s an incredible unit that can definitely function at 1/5. While it’s better to not sync with him for his B Move, I still decided to give him his EX-R so that his sync can do some solid damage, even without Haymaker. Giacomo’s biggest flaw is his Speed. A common trend in most of these clears is sluggish gauge, so that is definitely a factor to consider when team building with Giacomo. 2/5 and 3/5 definitely help with this issue, but it’s not necessary for him. Besides that, he’s just a very powerful Striker that can clear pretty much any Dark stage easily. I’d say his worth pulling if you’re lacking in Dark types and especially if he’s a favorite, like for me. Enjoy! Timestamps to battles, grids and lucky skills: —————————————————- 0:00 Dark Paldean units, my beloved 1:32 Maximum Overkill Tfw I have to turn on +18 HP because the stage dies too fast. One of my previous attempts I did 99K to Will, to put into perspective how strong Giacomo is with this duo. I have it saved here in case you wanna see that:    • Genuinely, why is this allowed?  . 4:30 Rushdown I know that EX Strike nukes are unnecessary with Giacomo on a team, I figured I’d still show him on a sweaty CS team. I also wanted to see his B Move do funny numbers, and both Akari and Red aided in that by applying PMUN, SMUN and Zone for him. 6:54 F2P Team The day Misty finally gets an EX is the day I die happy. I mostly chose her here so I could have a Special tank. Tech Kangaskhan is mainly here to make this fully f2p, instead of using someone like Kukui. This stage is pretty susceptible to flinches, so I was able to get a good amount of Leer procs on Will. In normal CS stages, you can probably just B Move after the mid lands an attack. 9:38 Cheap Zone + Defense Debuffs Giacomo is completely self-sufficient, so he can afford tanky debuffers, like Colress, in substitute for a Support. DC Marnie makes Dark Zone completely f2p accessible, so I figured I’d use her too. 12:03 Iron Head Giacomo’s Steel mode is much weaker than his Dark mode, but it’s not bad. That said, it’s definitely not something I recommend running without Superduper Effective 9, outside of meme purposes. Skyla is a very good Giacomo partner, since her Speed buffs and MGR9 on Gust makes his gauge much more bearable. 14:58 Fainted Ally Boost No Digletts we’re harmed in the making of this video! It is still very funny to me that they found a way to implement Supreme Overlord into this game, and it creates a funny playstyle too. I could’ve tried double eggmon and got two PMUN buffs, but I wanted to be safe and only used one (and I made sure it was a Speed buffer too). I brought SS Lear to just make the sync countdown go faster, plus I got pick up all the x3 damage parameters so that was nice too. 17:33 Off-Type Kind of a last minute clear, but wanted to show off Giacomo’s Off-Type performance since he clearly dominates On-Type. I picked Bruno since he has Earthquake, meaning he can buff Giacomo’s Sync Move UN effect by 3. I mostly picked Ariana since I already used other Defense debuffers, but at least her nuke helped me hoard Giacomo’s Sync Move UN. Arven is straight up just a good support, so that’s why brought him here. 20:39 LG 2v1 Example 1/5 Giacomo is… interesting for Gauntlet. Most likely he’ll need to hoard partners with good gauge control due to his bad Speed. I’m this case, Rachel has X Speed All and Revenge Boost to help the gauge move faster. Plus she can hoard syncs for Giacomo, thanks to Synchro Healing. I considered not doing Cresselia, but Kowtow Cleave is a guaranteed hit so he’s a good counter for its evasion gimmick. 23:26 Piercing Blows Example Giacomo’s B Move has Piercing Blows effects, in addition to the other nonsense this move has lol. Initially I tried using him against Terrakion, but the gauge was too troublesome plus Terrakion does a ton of damage too. So I moved to Azelf instead. Plus it’s in the current Gauntlet rotation, so may as well. Elio is a solid Sleep chainer to pair with Giacomo, though it’s slightly luck dependent with both Sing MGR and Propelling Move to fix the gauge. I also gave Giacomo Fast Track 2 to manage gauge. I played a little sloppy here, but I think I still conveyed the basic idea. —————————————————-
