I keep seeing people talk about co-op battles... for those who have gotten pretty far in, how much of the game's content is tied to the co-op battles?

For now? Basically nothing. Co-ops (up to Hard) and Supercourses (up to Very Hard) appear to be the current "endgame", as far as I can tell.

Is there anything that's needed to upgrade Pokemon that can only be obtained from the co-op battles?

Not currently, no. At least as far as I have seen. Just gives out the gems for first completion, Training Tools, drinks, skill capsules, and if Veggeta_MAX's tip earlier means what I thought it meant, Gym Leader Notes. Very Hard co-op stages are locked behind unreleased content though, afaik.

All right, thanks. I just really don't like dealing with co-op related modes in gacha games. If my ability to keep progressing through the game and improving my team would ever be stopped if I didn't do the co-op battles, I'd quit and uninstall the game right then and there.

You can do co-op battles with (somewhat randomized) npc's, as an aside. They always seem to select at least one sync partner that uses a weakness of the target battle, and you can use the "emotes" to order them in battle (can't control them though).

I haven't gotten there yet but apparently super dedicated to co-op. For example, most common gym leader thingies are from Brock co-op hard. And the even we'll be getting tomorrow for Blue is co-op based.

Well all of it. All the best rewards will come from Co op missions. The first one is Blue's event.

I can handle Hard, as it turns out.

Got Serperior, who is now a solid twenty levels higher than everyone.

I'm just doing the normal Level course on max speed and auto to get books, then I'll use them on my Pikachu and currently Houndoom.

How the hell do I get AoE Sync moves?

Doesn't seem like there are any that do that. The co-op Unity Attacks are AoE, though, so maybe opponent sync moves are supposed to represent something like that? I dunno.

I'm just trudging along the 20 of each of the Normal/Hard vs. Blue co-op battles now for the event. Depending on how much vouchers that and the respective event achievements give, I may or may not do more, since you need like 1030 Voucher A's to get all the good stuff. I got Blue, but I'll wait to grind him up after I finish the event. He's pretty great, all things considered.

Pretty much the best striker in the game with stats/moves that put Houndoom to shame but takes some ramping/setup

Meh. I'm not much of a fan of Blue's nor Pigeot's. I've seen what he can do and he's not game changing. Houndog still is good enough to rekt the majority of the game right now. I'll hold off on pulling for Blue.

I did close to 2 multis and didn't pull him. I did pull 2 Pinsirs though and he's rated S tier physical striker on two tier lists I've looked at so I'm going to use him. Blue was actually rated an A on one tier list I looked at today so who knows.

Done with this event. Thankfully, it seems like you get enough vouchers for the worthwhile (i.e. non-Levelup Manual rewards) stuff just completing all the achievements for it, unless your luck is just really bad with the after-battle bonuses. Guess I can go back to maxing out levels, especially now that I know for a fact the Hard co-op courses do drop Gym Leader Notes, lol.

I literally just saw that for myself before coming back to this topic, lol. That is quite stupid. It's not like they even do much besides give a minor boost to 5* sync teams' stats. Incidentally, the ones the event gives you are a different item than the ones you would get by getting a 6th+ of the same 5* sync pair, which do not have an expiration.

Supposedly the main reason why Blue and other Mega pokemon carries aren't good is due to end game stages not giving you the time to sync and go Mega :/

That's a pretty poor mechanic and hopefully they fix it

Knowing Dena, they kinda screwed themselves in a corner with FFRK already and it looks like they can't get out of it. Hopefully they don't the same with this.

Yeah. Apparently end game is a DPS race. If you wait until sync to start doing damage, chances are the opponent can use their sync too meaning buffs to their team and most likely one shotting you soon after.

As in, you have to be outputting DPS from the getgo. Whereas Pidgeot/Houndoom you kind of have to set up first and wait to Mega evolve before putting in serious damage.
