Pokemon Masters EX - 15000 pts Champion Stadium - Week 9/23/24 (feat. 5/5 Arc Suit Cynthia)

I'm playing Pokemon Masters, a mobile gacha game set on the island of Pasio. Collect many Pokemon waifus and husbandos and participate in unique battles involving sync pairs.
I didn't plan on making this video, but since I was able to complete Champion Stadium (CS) using 5/5 Anabel (she sucks), I thought I'd do it again with 5/5 Arc Suit (AS) Cynthia. I also tried to show the full recording, since it showcases how easy it was to complete every battle using AS Cynthia. I think a showcase video that is heavily edited might be a little bit deceiving, so enjoy the extra long video and failed run (Metal Burst xd).
Getting 5/5 AS Cynthia was very lucky in the first place. I got 3 AS Cynthia's before pity, so I only needed to use 1 yellow 5* candy. People claim that the new 500 scout points for pity being the worst thing about anniversary, but I disagree. I think the most outrageous thing about anniversary was that they added a new role which can only be upgraded with yellow 5* candies. If you used all your yellow 5* move candies before this anniversary, you got absolutely and utterly wrecked. If I only got 1 AS Cynthia TOTAL through pity, I would not be willing to spend 4 yellow candies on her. Because of my luck, I can enjoy 5/5 AS Cynthia, while I bet many people who want to can't without spending huge money.
5/5 AS Cynthia's main attraction is the extended sync grid. You get a lot of extra tiles, which is nice to buff her. Dust Kicker is obviously the premium sync grid tile, and I'm quite happy with it. I'm just sad that it is locked behind 5/5 (if it was unlocked at 3/5, I would not have gone for 5/5). The extra damage just from 5/5 is nice as well, but she is completely fine at 1/5. She just doesn't last very long because you only have two chances at Sandstorm.
For the team I ran, I think there is huge synergy with Bertha and Rika. I didn't want to make the team use too many Master Fairs or Are Suits, because I'd be showcasing the support units more than I'm showcasing AS Cynthia. That being said, Bertha and Rika are S-tier support. Rika tanks pretty well and can provide Ground Zone at certain timings to allow your Cynthia to always be buffed until the Garchamp sync move. The extra 2 Physical Attack Next Effect can also provide a good punch for Earthquake. Also, Rika is hot.
Bertha can provide Sandstorm at specific timings as well, so you can always have Sandstorm up without needing AS Cynthia to summon it. Bertha also can use Stealth Rock and provides the trapped status change, which allows for good chip damage (along with Sandstorm) and boost your Cynthia's sync move (trapped = more Sync Move Up Next Effect). Bertha + Rika can also fully buff the team's physical and special defense, which is crazy good.
You can see how well the team preformed in the video. Once I started to get a hang of the sequencing (I haven't used this team much before this video), this team wrecks the most difficult region's off-type CS. Even though Garchomp and Clodsire fainted in one of the fights, Bertha still does good damage by herself, and her Endurance can come in clutch towards the end of a fight. This team might be my best off-type team, which makes sense considering I'm using the first Striker Arc Suit.
I already talked about whether I'd recommend 5/5 AS Cynthia in a pervious description. In short, no unless you are full of resources and adore Cynthia.
Thanks for watching!
