#Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)
1 messages · Page 2 of 1
Some legendary arena have different weaknesses sides iirc
Also some contents that have multiple enemies
And also fall over within one health bar
The weakness in LAs only change on 3rd bar
By that time
You will have atleast 4ish sync buffs
they also aren't fire, water, ice, electric or bug weak
And it doesn't matter whether it's ontype or offtype at that point
You just one shot last bar
Unless you are a support solo meme
I mean it's fine, and it's meant to show off the rebuff mechanic
they are dragon and dark
It's just not that interesting when you dig into it
water, fire and electric has way better characters
If you like the character go nuts lol
yeah you just roll for bug
Unova gets another bug damage dealer
i liked the design but cmon, if kit is like this im not going to take something i dont use
Next December... I also think there will be a master fair... Lurking inside
I gonna use him for electric and bug...my only strong elec pair is N...but he kinda weak on aaron
Hilbert can smash aaron elec weak
I doesn't invest on Hau...no legendaries, mythicals, UBs 
I like N 2/5 grid
It helps counteract his tm self def debuff
I probably wont 4-5/5 him unless anime ticket select happens again
Or if i got him randomly from fair select multi
Just kill shit quick
No need to waste energy on unbending
Tho I am still sadge that ash is strictly better than him
Wish atleast his boltstrike was better than thunder
Enough energy for everything ...3/5 N
Only 3/5 smh
Cannot...i still need strike candies for annilillie 2/5, annisteven 1/5, ssleon 2/5, ssethan 1/5, sshilda 1/5 
Other strikers legendaries, mythicals, UBs already 3/5 or more
I am planning to 5/5 zekrom eventually
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
This is what I am doing 
Nice, i cannot 5/5 a pair when i still got plenty of other faves to candy 
New pairs don't rly need 5/5
SS May and SS Brendan were much more interesting than SS Hilbert and Hilda
They get all dmg mods at 3/5 itself
Yep 3/5 are enough
Honestly yeah idk why they made these units so weird
Sshilda as well...can +6 atk spatk at 1/5
brainpower and brainteaser not worth when he can max spdef in 3 turns
Hilda is just unga bunga striker, hilbert is fun but realistically u wont use it in fire,electric, water or ice ever cuz those types are stacked, and N tm has spatk up
5/5 is just for if you really like the pair so much and you want to see it deal a bunch of damage like those OP MF
If you are willing go ahead
If not just 3/5 2 pairs
5/5 genesect has second rebuff thats like another 40%?
Ye
Yep
20%, but only when his move is super effective, one of these 5 types
I just gonna 3/5 him, i already got annisteven, anniskyla, ssethan
I rarely used Lysnadre... Like I have better flying units than him
I personally don't like the mixed damage gimmick
When base type matters more for EB
Ok thats better
Honestly why would u use the other types
Except in gauntlet
Rebuff on a 200 BP super effective move
It's useless
It doesnt proc offtype

And most LG runs are offtype
Then hilbert is gonna be just a bug type
water is useless because the bug itself is fire weak
for Entei or Moltres (1 bar only)
in general it's a fat 4bar unit, these aren't that good for LG anyways
you would spam metal sound in most team comps and sync
His grid is also stupid
Man has tiles that let him paralyze when hitting electric weak or drop defense if it's water weak
Why is it not universal

Yep those grid are stupid, i wont learn those
Wait i might learn for preset
Gonna use him against aaron
He has kekwalk and -2 spd down
But he can drop spd only on super effective
Thats all he gain at 5/5
True
Has lot of coverage like him
But the coverage is bad
Yes
Gio has good coverage because of the types
Hilberts coverage is where the most stupid busted units are
Free legendaries*
Also that
Can't wait for the next region to give electric legendary
Or bug legendary
So he becomes more useless

Hisui thundurus
Most ppl went for ash or red so yeah
Not just that
Or alola tapu koko...not like MC solgaleo is alola
N

I pick N
I picked n
Thank you DeNa, that saved my fair select scout savings...i 3/5 N for free
I got lusamine 5/5
i got better at the game and do stupid stuff on CS every week now
sometimes even swap types for teams and offtype if they are strong enough
stuff like Kris as only striker I did go ontype tho but not anymore after her new expansion
Upcoming cs is sinnoh, can challenge hard stuffs back 
come here Aaron for revenge
reminder to take extended strategy conversations to #strategy-and-research or #poma-lounge
discussing EBEs or new kits is fine the in the context of how you can save resources e.g. i dont need this new unit to clear the battle bc i can do it with Y
i just said that I don't need any of them because kits and why
Dinero
it wasn’t directed at you specifically, the entire convo this past hour has been that
I gonna ||get because faves||
I haven't seen it discussed yet, but Jass came up with a gem count that fits close with last year's historic value
25,000. Though it isn't for the entire month (last few days of November might get a boost of gems), it does give us a bit of a heads up on what to expect as the year rolls out.
Iirc its 23020
Hilda gets my priority because that dress is SLAYING

Hilda looks good but she's the 200th fire type Dena decided to roll out so 
I wish that kit was anything that isn't fire/dragon/psychic
Low end on va, dena is getting greedy
After victini...i guess only blacephalon and heatran left
Eos soon
As far as I saw, there wasn't anything new in terms of modes or features
so we're just earning things the same ol' way huh

it's funny because the OG Hilda is also Unova Fire
with physical focus
that's why the OG should be the star of EB
Coz he doesn't have a dps starter
Oh right
Rosa abandoned serperior for shaymin as well 
genesect technically does water damage
Nah
Unlike samurott
Serperior can sync nuke
Coz iirc she has like 2 SF5 in grid
So yea
She ditched her sync nuke grass starter for a better sync nuke grass Pokemon
All these pokegirls
Oh right Lyra as well

Guess dawn, may and Selene are the only pokegirls that didn't abandon their starters yet
May gets a worse water type lol
another broken grass unit is what people will pull for!
Least I can get one fave and skip the rest.
But no masterfair makes me fear next month going big
the bundle that comes with a universal candy?
anyway i will upload the gem breakdowns after they have announced the RT rally
so i dont have to redo format the entire image to upload here
its 1300 gems till ss hilda
So far it’s 24k right?
23k
Eh, not bad.
Least I’ll have enough to grab SS N before he leaves.
no coins?
i just got back home havent got the time to look at the pastebins
will probably get it done tmr or smthn
ty for all of your work as always tlim
do we know how much the gem daily deals cost? they sound pretty good tbh espeically the coin one
Yep if it is not as expensive as this offer, i will grab it
It's 8,000 paid gems total right>?
plus the free yellow candy?
5★-Select Special Scout ×11
2022-11-02 07:00:00 UTC
2022-12-03 07:00:00 UTC
also does anyone know what this is about
could be nice if it's some limited units
should be gen pool
aw damn
we haven’t had one in a while
it has special in the name which is why i figured it might be different
they’ve always been named that
oh nvm then
we’ve only gotten limited selects at anni/half anni/NY
i've been tryna look at the banner images anyway and it seems like it'll include looker and courtney and the bunch
I need 5 more striker coins to get 40. I haven’t checked how many we get this month.
ooh goodie Colress lasts until next month
Save for the inevitable MF's
What if I don't like the eventual MFs
Well it's not just MFs to worry about now
what are these new sync pairs called? Variants?
How do they work?
Don't you have to scout for em?
The banner is called "Three Eevee Tales" and is on the 21st
"Variety" Scout type (official name), more like scam
In addition DeNA is doing that thing again where they go "dunno if they're gonna return!" 
I mean I like Lucas, he is there but no different outfit tf
trying to imply Variety sync pairs are just as rare as seasonals
they're limited, they don't have EXs (wtf?), they're not that strong
Each one has a "field effect" though
someone at DeNA really was like "ok you owe me one, i wanna do an experiment how much we can squeeze people with eevee"
Sun and Rain in fact
those are accessible so it's not that much of an issue imo
And they will be run again
but the no EX part is the most insulting part imo
what is this, 2020?
save your 
They bring their type attack and a pseudo support/debuffing
So they aren't exclusive
Feel bad for the whales who just get them just to flex
Or get an extra 1 or 2 wins in LG
Ehhh😅
Night is offended 
i'm Dreamy
(in an Halloween costume)
i'm a proper Unova non believer, this month is perfect for savings 
Isn't there a rule in the channel about identity 


Don't even see the point of pull in the "Variety" pairs
breaking zen through eevee
stay strong
most cringe banner
But yeah this Variety banner is nice for fans of the sync pairs but... I mean here's the implication;
This is good long run.
It implies that if you have a specific character you like, now there's a chance in a 3-person banner they'll get an alt.
The bad news is that you'll have to really save up even more gems now for the volatility and rarity of these Variety banners
Eevee :GiovanniYell:
all 3 units have so much cringe in their pairing
For me who has been waiting for a Clair Alt since the start of the game, this will at least satiate me however slight 
they should have gone full force with the meme and make all the featured pairs 4*
This at least would have made them interesting
7k paid gems in total for coin bundle...just i compared with this 8k gems price as the bundle also give yellow candy
I wonder if the lodge banner is a good long run banner as well...because over time, more pokefairs will be in it.
i think more disappointing than no EX is that theyre just the base character model. no new outfits
0.0001% 
But getting a unit there means get 2 units because lodge units included as well
they make up for no EX by having decent sync multipliers and nice QOL things when they sync. but theyre 5* limited techs with bp/lodge treatment
5* limited techs that also don't have EX sounds bad
Just more calem
At least calem have EX
So bunch of acerolas
they have nice kits, but not nice enough to be limited especially given that again, theyre just recycled character and pokemon models
guess we’ll find out soon what sort of rates are on the banner
They kinda like bp master units but need to use gems...bp master units are all supports...these eeveelutions are all techs...both categories doesn't have

I was going through reddit and someone made the comparison of the Variety pair grids
They're very similar
Unlimited weather/terrain on sync is sweet
They are DeNa's experiment to give eggmons grids in the future 
Eggbat sync grid 
Sounds like ssacynthia
Then she got support ex and became fantastic
Yeah
Like Wally works fantastic with SSA Cynthia
Just focus blast away
I haven't checked Colress' unit yet
Pomatools already updated
And he's spotlight
Hugh is also interesting
Spotlight units eating good this month
Yeah I'm saying it's a plus
He's a spotlight and I've said to not spend on em but Colress is my 4th favorite out of Pokemon
Yep spotlight is in a tough spot
Might end up not getting the unit for months
Or might get him the next day the banner ends
Also the gem count should be like 23k righ
23020
cant wait for that cringe banner to get shit sales so that dena dont ever put such a dumb idea to mask their laziness
hm, we probably getting rallies
They probably gonna continue till all eeveelutions done, they even already made the banner pic
Man next month's gem count is unforgiving
Fairy zone sylveon 
I wish SS Blue would stop being on banners I don't want or need, especially in a go-broke month like this 🥲
Grass terrain leafeon
I hope they change him to djgloria soon...only both of them are water type pokefairs
They will need one water PF if Gauntlet have moltres or entei
I just wish i could pull on him on a banner I actually need. I'm still holding onto my victory road ticket just in case.
But tbh glojo isn't bad either 👀
Marnie remains to be on banners I don't need
She's paired with the banner I already I did 😂
Worst part for me is that I actually really like lysandre and even marnie, but like... I need my gems Fur this month lol
I hope Marnie appears in a free select
how many gems are we getting for Nov
If eeveelution select happens i gonna grab sylveon or eevee if they release those
Seems like they have terrains or weathers...so perhaps zone as well
Eevee normal zone and sylveon fairy zone
23k which might turn in either 26 or 29k, depending on how much the rally gives us
damn.
Oof
Cannot blame them, they already warn that VA is coming from past Dev letter
Oh ye vanter, wanted to ask something
Let me find the message I wanted to ask you about
Wait
What did you exactly mean here?
I don't really get it, sorry
If you check current 500 paid gems and 1 k free gems price...its still cheaper than normal 1.5k gems offer...so if the new gem bundle costs cheaper than this...i will get it, because before this the daily deal kinda have same price like a MF deal of almost equal gems...just its timegated by time which is need 20 days to get all and can only buy one at a time...so if its cheap and good value, better i but it often early so that when MF banner exists or select scouts exist, i will have paid gems saved
If i already buy this for few months before MF gems deal happens...so why should i spend money on MF deals
If this already give the paid gems i need
So i can skip future MF deals
Plus i got a move candy with each
MF deals only give gems
A universal move candy means no need to spend on select to get dupes for units
So I don't need to buy PF select to gain dupes for ssleon, djgloria, sskorrina
And seasonal select for FallIris dupe
Now I'm just waiting to see the coin daily bundle price

Current basic non improved costs this....this already with new price and it give 1.5k gems
And you see the picture above it costs about 6 times
Ye
For 8k gem
So if it costs about 4 times or 5 times, it still cheaper
Myr 160 compared to myr 234
What should that be in euros?
And it give free move candy
Not sure
You can compare yourself
If you have euro price
Just see the latest 8k gem deal price
And see your current daily gem bundle price
As long as it less than 6 times the price, it will be good value
Because got candy as well
And each candy means no need for me to pull for dupe via select
Yep if its 4 or 5 times it still better than that offer
Because it have candy
Just its kinda timegated
Thats why i said i will buy early and skip MF deals if it have good value
Can only buy once in 20 days
So to avoid urgent need of paid gems like several selects happening at same time
Better i save early
Better than event gems at least, last time i checked its better than MF deal...not sure if it still better with increased in price...but if it increased proportionately might be same value like MF deal but this also give 1 candy
should i get the two story/champion bundles, i still haven’t yet and might hold onto those as resource savings
Last time they put Ingo up for Moltres
Nice more variety
What if those new bundles are a workaround to the shit induced by apple with prices?
Yep they said in the letter before that they improve the bundles value to accommodate the increased by apple...like the most basic that you said becoming 1.6k also improved a lot
Thank god
Now its 1.6k paid gems and not 500 paid and 1k free
Every gems we got from the bundles after this will all be paid gems
Oh wait the basic will be 3k paid gems
So way better than 500 paid and 1k free gems from before
So if you feel too expensive and doesn't need much candies can just buy the basic
This basic probably costs me the same myr 39.90 like current non updated one
watch the price increase x3
The price already updated for basic bundle
Only bp bundle and coin bundle price unknown
My myr 40 is price after that apple shenanigans
Myr 40 for 3k paid gems versus myr 60 for 2k paid gems 
30% more expensive price for 30% less gems

They already updated but nothing changes still 500 paid and 1k paid...and thats why on dev letter before this, they said they will improve it...so this 3k basic daily bundle probably is the improvement of the most basic we have currently...so might be same price, but the other bundles are different case...they like a more premium battle pass
So the 3k basic daily bundle probably costs the same myr 40 as it still have 20 days double sync orb
Just increased from 500 paid + 1k to become 3k paid
Daily gem bundle revamped to daily gem bundle EX...the coins and bp are daily gem bundle EX+
Well not many days left to see, can just see the price later...but they said that they Revamped the basic bundle so probably to accommodate the increased in price after lots of sad feedbacks
Daily gem bundle EX+ and battle point boost pass are uncharted territory but if the value lower than this...it still give good value for me
Not sure for euros
You guys calculate yourself
But good enough for Myr
Like got some currency have lots of difference like Indo is much more expensive than mine
Not sure for Singapore
But if only want the gems
Probably buy basic bundle better
Probably way cheaper than coin bundle
And it give hefty 3k paid gems
I might just grab basic then
Like coins can be collected slowly
Unless if it only twice or thrice expensive
Than the basic one
Myr 40 for 3k versus Myr 60 for 2k 
Wait, I had a thought...
So if the price stays the same for regular...
The increase for plus bundle might be x4/x5?
Yep thats why i said x4 or x5 before
once the bundles are out we can compare values
Still cheaper than 8k paid gems but better value if buy bunch of basic if disregard coins
Also as its 20 days not like other games a month battle pass
heartache prices
Can buy 3 bundles in 2 months
Sad right, now i need to spend wisely
Thats why i probably gonna buy the basic one
And dump the coin bundle
Especially if its triple or multiple times the price of basic
like even anni deals are expensive
Yep so this daily bundle might be the cheapest value ...so i need to buy it often so that i wont need to buy MF deals later
Ash bundle is good though
I bought both
i thought all go up
Can you like do VPN shenanigans or anything to change the region you are paying from?
better dont
Or is it set permanently
It’s based on CC
Not sure, its the same for me
changing does not help
For now only game stuffs have increased in price
Where your CC location is, and there’s no regional pricing so it doesn’t matter
because they are setting the same intrinsic value for all currencies
That’s mandated by the stores that’s why we have the 99 cent US equivalent tier
US prices wont go up much more than a couple bucks right
USD prices did not go up
u get the same intrinsic value no matter where u change region
Other stuffs in the store soars 30%
Just more gems for the same price for USD
yes but weaker currency convert more
so
no difference
i dont think thats how it works
Yep i hope its this as they said they Revamped that basic bundle
So high chance same price
Im real interested to see the prices on the new candy coin bundles
altho apple increasing price is definitely more rip off than directly buying from usd
but difference is miniscule
im pretty sure
all currencies are capped at same value
per gem deal
i heard euros are diff tho
cos of taxes
the new event gem special 4 is 8000 gems. in MYR it's 234.90, in USD 48.99 (230.99 MYR)
to give an example
the difference ends up being a couple bucks but that can add up over time. there are others who provide me gem deal prices for their region that VPN to other regions bc the prices are slightly better
but i agree local prices are definitely higher
altho in those cases its euros across the board so theres no currency exchange fee
its a lot of effort to save a few bucks
I think Indonesia the worst one, their price didn't change due to this apple stuff yet mine is still cheaper even after 30% increase
Not sure why
u mean their price change?
Their price stays the same like before
But even after my price change
I still cheaper than them
So they buy gems with expensive price since before this issue
80 usd to them is big chunk compared to myr
Just now have smaller gap with MYR
Can check in cami document...can just take the same value because i asked my indo friend theirs doesn't change
honestly suspect cos of their taxes
But seeing the new price, i hope daily gem bundle become my new hope...the basic bundle
I can just keep buying it, for future saving
Eh either way just spend within your means mate
Yep
I think coin bundle will be lot more expensive
I might skip it
And just focus on basic
Global economy is not good, some countries in recession with high inflation and COL
Yep i just gonna play f2p and collect daily primogems
one of my friend aquaintances already starting to ask my close friends to borrow for genshin
its really affecting them
such a toxic
gacha
Yep, after i think a lot...poma is my main game
So i just gonna focus on one...other games i just do daily and done
vantner ive given it my best shot but im unable to make a backup of the previous gem deal spreadsheet before the apple price hike without risking the whole sheet
Can't you just copy the sheet into a new one
Haha don't worry as long as you know how much increase
Sad DeNa doesn't revamp this...i always buy this twice before legendary adventures EX event and power boost event 
Increased from 3.90 to 4.90
Still 100 gems
Wait until prestige 2 electric bugaloo
google sheets doesnt like letting you access the old version history unless you fully restore it over the new version
100 gems for that price is eww
Yeah but you can just copy the entire sheet into a new one
So the old one is available for reference
i could try that and just update the link to the new copy
I've done it a few times for a different project
But i want to dedicate thanks to DeNa for giving me Legendary Adventures unit EX and power boost...its already like a ritual for me
...i always buy it every VA
but then id lose the version history of the original
unless i just store it privately
Or just copy it and update the original so that remains the source
Just store privately
As long as i can ask you later no prob
I probably wont ask unless the price changes again
Like my country currency magically stronger
well if we're careening into a global recession it may happen again who knows
Yep so i wont mind if i cannot see it, as long as you have the price before and after its already good...i can just ask later if needed
yen was how much % increase
Iirc yen even got exclusive message on jp pomas twitter
I didn't see that message on English
heard it was big increase
Yep like 33% or something
i dont know, ive never had someone provide JPY pricing
probably bc they have their own communities given the large japanese fanbase for the game
there i figured out how to do it properly ty for the help mayday
new tab called historical pricing - SEP22

Ok already checked cami's gem sheet
Indonesia deal of 3k paid gems with the free 1 5* pu costs 449000 rupiah
= 136 myr
Mine cost 129.90 this is after increased
So they like myr 6 more expensive
And they didn't get affected with the increase in price
So from before, still costs 449k IDR
Why there jumbled number and letters by that?
Currency then price
malaysian ringgit
Only 1.3k gems this datamine
Gonna grab every last bit of it
I still have 1k gems stuck in missions
Still sad that pokefairs don't have free move coin from multi like seasonals or master fairs or spotlights
KRIS AND JOLTEON???? That’s one of my favorite eeveelutions
it's not a great precedent to set
I’m happy about kris and Lyra I no thoughts head empty ||rip my non existent wallet||
I'm not that opposed to it
I'd rather it wasn't full price I guess
And they weren't limited
The fomo bit continues dena starting to ramp up some of the more predatory practices
Just missing time limited gem deals now
The whole buying candies bit feels worse to me
the best gift is the 2% rate up unit better then any mfs
Between the current banners and unoVA units, what's the most worth it
Just curious, not making a decision
anyone know how much bp is coming out next month?
Depends if you feel like spending dollar
New dilemma
I like N and black kyurem but I also like genesect
I know I can’t get both in a short period of time
So who should I prioritize
both of them last until december so wait for datamine
what if we get hisui palkia next month
everything in november lasts until datamine actually
only thing leaving are the fall units and wally shortly
i might unironically do that, wait for datamine for once
I would panic
unless someone persuades me black kyurem is actually fun and not a chore to use
Hilbert is ok as sp def debuffer at 3/5, but with his power i'd probably want a different sp debuffer for him, the irony
I need to make my decision now
why now?
So I don’t spiral into madness
how about practicing some yoga or something
Just saw the kit, and I decided to save for future MFs 
Actually depends on december datamine, but more tend to skip. I wanna have at least 3 pities by the time half anni come
we will try again with white kyurem!
Which is feb or march iirc
True dat, Unova still have so much possibilities
all kyurems being made techs just because noble roar is supposed to be important for some darn reasons is a mystery
More like
The recent loads of techs is weird
designed to be a "secondary" damage dealer
nothing worth being the "primary" damage dealer in the type
he's unga bunga in his own way too
you can't really use him as a debuffer because it requires using freeze shock
Colress seems kinda interesting, can’t wait for ticket scout update
with 33k gems? skip skip skip skip
DeNa gave suspicious wording for december, and it's obviously not about the santa stuff
I like genesect play style
Special defense debuffer and a move that can hit 5 types super effective
Yeah this
better wait next datamine
Not sure ss hilda or ss hilbert still be around tho
Gem counts are pretty low again… I guess Sinnoh and Hoenn were probably just high cuz of anni/wintet holidays
I’ve decided on genesect
they will all remain for datamine
They will be around... 3rd December is late date
With 23k gems...
33k + 23k = 56k
Ah thats good
I'll get around 56-59k by the end of the month
Just like his father 
All of them leave at 3rd December
palki you seem very undecided and flip flopping a lot. maybe you should wait and see how you feel in a week or two after the datamine hype has died down
The first sentence sums me up
Alright I’ll try
Thinking I might skip fallister ||so I can grab N & colress|| but weh fallister cute 
||Hilbert is also tempting me but don't wanna pull for 3-4 charas in the span of a month||
Yep kinda dangerous now especially VA rerun without VA banners just happened...maybe you can cut some if you can afford future selects...we did see VA pokefairs at least enter fair selects fast
Do you remembered the unexpected rerun like the classic red/ingo/diantha banner
They didn't do that anymore
That's probably the best rerun in one banner
Thats for Gauntlet iirc?
Yep
If we got same Gauntlet bosses, probably can rerun 
Now all the rerun is from 2020 and early 2021
The one that took me by surprise is Lucas rerun with 2 others
I forgot if its gauntlet
It's actually protagonist rerun... And Gloria got like 3 rerun in a span of 3 months
And i gave bad advice back then....and i said Lucas will rerun when sinnoh VA rerun 
it's like SS Cynthia always reruns for dragon but CIris never
Sinnoh VA is here and 0 sinnoh VA banners
It was way more than 3 lol
There’s also summer gloria
seasonals don't rerun the same way tho
Hoping that gloria got good enough 2/5 grid like N and Lysander 
Why elesa added in the lodge
Im sensing that her classic one will rerun soon
I like it
I didnt have cynthia and raihan before this...so thanks DeNa, finally another guest to work on 
I'm gonna skip SSN this month for a rerun cause dang gems 
Will skip Colress if Nov provides a limited fav character
Oh right, Christmas probably only be half of December's stuffs... there's still early half for DeNa to put something
Don't worry, we got a full month datamine for November
Well Christmas stuffs gonna be mid to late December...they sure gonna put something on first half like lussamine last year
Probably a limited unit or 2 on that half
If MF i will be broke
Well not too broke if nothing pop up for Christmas...but calyrex happened last year

If i cannot afford seasonal fave, i guess i gonna just wait for select
Super seasonal scout with 8 Christmas units next year sounds horrible
I do hope non of my faves becoming xmas unit again...if they want to become a festive seasonal unit, at least make them different seasons...so that i can have boosted units for all seasons
I already got 1 xmas, 1 fall
So new year, palentine, spring if it exists, summer left
I may most likely skip the remaining Unova seasonals as I have decided my new goal will be 536.6k gems.
goodluck
I hate second guessing myself and having so much time to do so
I already came to the conclusion that if I skip Colress, then it's game over, no pair in the game is worth pulling
Colress is spotlight if that matters
Yes, it's the reason of the second guessing
Because I end up thinking about how to get Colress while playing my cards optimally
The whole instinct against a low value investment
Since spotlight banners tend to be terrible
I feel like I don't have an easy answer for it
most optimal if you can access paid gems is wait for select scout and select him...as while waiting for him to be added in select scout, you might can get him while pulling other banners...and if not, you need to pay 3k paid gems for him but still cheaper than 7.5k paid tier on his release. and spotlight banner still got chance to costs a pity, so 36.6k for colress is more pricy than 3k paid gems in the future select
Purely from a value standpoint summoning on a spotlight isn’t good because he’ll be available for future pokefair/master fair summons
But that approach doesn’t consider emotional attachment to specific sync pairs
Ideally I need to wait for one of the reruns I wanna get and count on getting it before pity
However
Imo
he even might be inside gauntlet weakness select and that cost only 2k paid...as regirock weak to steel, he might pop up when regirock become gauntlet boss
Wait were you the person that said Colress and Genesect but if he's paired with Klingklang it's a skip ??
That's almost the same as pulling without having pity
No
Colress and klinklang is the best pair in the game for me
Because the only pairs who could match him fave wise have near 0 chance of existing
Cuz if there's a master fair banner you might wanna pull on that's objectively a better banner to get him
The odds of me pulling on a master fair are very low with my rules
tho am an avid spotlight puller enthusiast cuz i have played for over a year and still am missing 4 whole spotlights
oh right, havent check his banner duration...he might last till next datamine, also i dont think there's any EBE that need colress...all EBE caters towards victini, genesect, black kyurem
no need hugh and colress
So
sad that they didnt do like kanto VA
got 1 ebe for sserika ssmisty
Colress banner ends on 3rd december
pretty sure there's datamine
I just don't trust DeNa to get the pairs I want right
Classic ghetsis and cofagrigus won't happen unless I bribe the DeNa team
Likewise, Cyrus and weavile without a sygna suit or seasonal thrown in is... Not happening either
Fall Ghetsis cofagrigus 
Burgh evades, maybe I'll get him from UnoVA
well should get used to DeNa this point, like the one that have Genesect from manga is Nate instead of Hilbert 
Tho I would also have to save for Colress
the legendary that manga hilbert got is Reshiram, screw N 
Nate should've gotten Genecest fr
I feel I won't stick to this rule until the end, it really sets me up for horrible scenarios
Such as pulling on spotlights and skipping master fairs
They shaft him hard, but his redemption still can happen...like even after all this Unova VA shenanigans...the other 2 MF passives are still untouched, one of it might go to Nate later 
Unovan pokemon have a strong chance of swaying me
Which is why this rule likely won't work long term
That said
I feel like this villain arc was a bit eh
I was hoping that ghetsis got black kyurem instead of N
Ghetsis didn't get white kyurem on sync, did he?
N and white kyurem might happen at some point, then
i suggest it before but people here said cannot later glaciate cannot be learned on white/black kyurem
so dena did like what they wanted
another N unit
with another kyurem
MF Nate lfg

Still good amount of coins 
So i can just buy basic daily bundle because cheaper
First time
Darn those that never missed almost form a rainbow ticket
me just here wanting to see the 3 & 4* candies like 
I'm expecting at least a rally from Twitter
Sinnoh CS next month 
sinnoh cs......................
I spent months hating on it but now I find myself missing the dopamine (and frustration) that it gives
also is there anywhere to see which 3 & 4* candies we're getting???
Since I have way more pairs compared to the first time it's out
lmao I was just about to ask if we have the gem count yet
FOUR YELLOW COINS? 
lfg 178 unova tickets that I'm never gonna use because the pool is too big!!
i didnt count them. but its probably one of each as usual
4 yellow coins oh my god
I'm not using the unova tickets for sure
Alrdy had the units I need/want at 3/5 at least
With afew at 5/5
also since when did pokemon masters day give 5* scout tickets
Despite the big pool
only 1 per type & rarity???? 
pretty sure they always gave them
Any good banners upcoming?
yeah bc not all events have battle challenges
pokemon masters day battle
The first clear of the masters day stage(solo)
kk, thanks
Hopefully I didn't miss anything good I haven't been playing since red drop
I'm only missing Bianca, mine's only 2/5. but that's not a big enough incentive to pull on the Unova pool
I'll wait until they add hugh and colress in there next year lmao
Same
You don't really miss anything good, unless you really like the char
(not to mention I keep getting burgh and he's 5/5 long ago)
Prob enough to make 10/5 if they allow overlevel

So they not good enough
I would've been been fine with 0/5 Lillie But not BURGH
They kept giving me units that I alrd have 5/5
I got 0/5 courtney, looker...and soon to be added, Gordie, melony
depends
That's a rather short list
I'm still sad at the fact I have 0/5 Looker
they're good but not mind-blowing incredible I suppose
Hmm makes sense
I'm still sad at the fact that I have 0/5 PHOEBE
You can skip an OP unit and still be fine 
<skipped Ash
I got both ash & red
<skipped ss steven too because his outfit turns me off
<pitied ss brendan instead
:GiovanniYell:
Now this is a pull criteria
Based
That is free
We getting any good ones soon?

What do you define as good?
I skipped all 3 anni MF....not legendaries, mythicals, UBs = skip 
Op or really useful
Nothing is considered "really useful" tbh
everything is really useful in one way or another
Sycamore is useful and he is free 
F2P supplies well enough
Gonna 150 him next now i done Ghetsis
#GlaciaSweep 
Unit A can be good for player X cos it fills a certain role in his roster but not good for player Y cos he already have a pair that can do that
Mews useful too
Yep if you are away for quite a long time, they also added bunch of new bp units
Also most lodge units are f2p
mhm
Almost finished 5* blue exeggutor 
Sweet I knew about lodge ones but not bp
Silver hype 
They seem good especially blues
Should be getting blue and the egg this or next reset
Then I'm done until elesa can be added
When is Elesa coming to lodge?
I still left N to work on
Idh any of those fair units
same
But tech 4* candies are really in demand so i might do elesa first
As joltik is a support
Supports are always welcome
Gigalith and Gastrodon seems nice, but i don't have spare gems to waste on lodge banner
I have N because zekrom 
I only have N for the limited ones
I have marnie because i did ||a cheeky single daily and got her||
I only have Gloria, Lucas, Redlax probably as hopium for future lodge pair...oh right can add gladion and lusamine as well
They might use SSRed for lodge

They kinda treat that as his "og"
Then i would be missing a possible lodge pair then 
who'd you use for Victory road?
Like i have plenty faves but they are sygna suits or anniversaries or special costumes 
Ssblue
ah
Well as all 3 are non faves, i just pick supports
Support might be useful for stuffs
shouldn't it be Redlax instead, that's the base Red
Yeah but ss red is more of the masters brand
I remember him appearing in expeditions wearing his SS outfit when showing off his Snorlax so 
Also I don’t think they’d add red since what are they gonna do for the special day out stories lol
...
...!
...?
Just add an interpreter like redlax and ssred sync pair story
He does already have various "huh" sound...that will fit for the interesting topics or not interesting ones
I haven't watch sstred sync pair story 
he has a bunch of kanto gym leaders as his interpreters this time
Really? I will brb at absolutely youtube
i havent done sync pair stories in a while
They are my emergency gem fund
if i dont claim them i cant spend them
How much you got saved?
Idk
You need like 30 of them for one pull lol
Yep thats why i already just see them and not save them, i might save if they continue to release pairs that can evolve because they have more gems ...but they stopped doing it
Like victor rillaboom
Why not Victor grookey and we can evolve it just like before 
Also every stage evolution story give 30 gems
But nothing bad with getting more gems 
Well if you are a whale, you probably wont understand

I’m just getting N and calling it a day for pulling for a few years. I need to reach my gem goal.
What if anni N rerun during that few years? You already got anni N?
oh lord 23k
Guess getting my Zoroark 5/5 this month then.
Im happy that the amount of coins and bp still great, so coin login bundle is just a luxury
Reason why I’m feeling like stopping pulling after SS N is because I’m getting to the point I’m starting to get the hang on 10k champion stadium and EBE. It’s literally the perfect time for me to save.

I was waiting for kyurem and got what i asked, cant be mad
Still on the fence of hilbert on one hand genesect being bug is so good, on the other pulling for 2 units in a month is risky, ill see datamine and if next month is dry ill go for bug boy
Lets hope for twitter rally
