Marley/Brendan Method
Host: Brendan & Treecko / Marley & Arcanine / Any

A table version of the strategy can be found below for your convenience.
- For those that prefer flowcharts, a handy flowchart version of this strategy can be found here (Link).
Marley/Olivia Method (Slower)
Host: Olivia & Lycanroc / Marley & Arcanine / Any
Guests: Any / Olivia & Lycanroc / Any
- The Host starts with Marley & Arcanine.

A table version of the strategy can be found below.

Solo Method: Phoebe/Karen/Brendan (Slower)
- Center: Karen & Houndoom
- Left: Phoebe & Dusclops
- Right: Brendan & Treecko
This setup can clear the setup with two A.I. allies. Credits to Professor Tuesday (@Tuesday#3726) for the strategy and video!
Using Emoji prompts correctly is key to the consistency of this setup! The A.I. allies will change their actions depending on the Emoji prompt used. See the video below on how this strategy works.

- Important Note: Ideally, the second Unity is reached before enemy Sync! In the video below, slow timing (and some unlucky RNG) lead to a delayed Unity, although clearing was still possible.
