Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[sturdy flower]

you are quite new though, you will clear all challenges in time

SSA Cynthia, SST Red and Ash cleared it too

[signal halo]

Together

I skipped SSA Cynthia for Colress only for him to end up as a spotlight

[sturdy flower]

Cynthia can be easily replaced by Skyla though

[signal halo]

I still feel bitter about him not being a pokefair

[sturdy flower]

his alt will be, for sure!

[signal halo]

I'll skip his alt, however

Pulling rule

The only alt they could do that I'd pull is also spotlight material

The Alola one

This rule likely won't work for me in the long run, it prevents me from pulling way too much stuff that would solve my frustrations with my roster

SS Morty, SC Ingo or a better bug damage dealer, SS red or any fire type that does better than base silver

Most fairy type pairs, the one relevant poison pair who also happened to land on a fave

Likely any decent ice pair too, all the ghost support, since my fave ghost pair doesn't have a grid. Anything with a ceiling higher than Bea, which includes another fave pair in SC Guzma

The list goes on and I wouldn't be as salty if I could pull colress without having to go through a 7% rates banner on top of having to tame my urge of candying him on spot while I likely won't ever see a pair that needs that ever increasing pile of candies

Because none in my fave list that follow the rules do

At most I'll need two strike candies on Cynthia and I'm halfway through my 4th

Like, I needed 5 resets just to get the skyla tm mpr and lose the run to a miss click, when getting genesect would just save me not only the hassle of that EB but also have it so I wouldn't have to put up with alder ever again. I don't know why, but he just won't work for me, despite being in the top 3 of strongest bug types in the game

So how do I bring myself back to zen when I already have a thing against alder and I see him missing 3 hyper beams on a single run?

[timber wren]

you said it yourself already, that you’d be risking 36.6k to complete a stage that nets you 300 gems

my best bug option is ex lusamine who. needs help, badly. but i have fun clearing with her and when i don’t feel line putting myself thru that i off type bc we have so many good options for off typing

[maiden kayak]

just close the game and forgo 300 gems if its too hard

[signal halo]

I'd need to close the game for 11 days

Since the notification doesn't go away

And again, it isn't just the stage as much as it is my spite for using alder

[fallen path]

The exclamation mark stays there even if you don’t complete that part

[signal halo]

Hilda has a similar appeal compared to silver

[maiden kayak]

huh

u just endure for 10 min

and do your dailies

and done deal

not like its a hard thing to do

[signal halo]

Every time I have to use alder I'll remember he failed to beat an on type on region challenge, despite being like one of the best bug dps in the game

[thorny pelican]

You play a different game when you save gems

It's not so much about what you can or can't complete, it's about overcoming the pre-defined set of rules that someone else makes for you that tries to trap your mind into thinking you "need" or "should" have something to overcome something else

[signal halo]

I particularly hate falling short with him because alder is a character I like and volcarona is one of my favourite bug type Pokemon

And on top of that I'm told over and over that 1/5 non ex alder is enough and I can't accept it when I see hyper beam missing 3 times in a single run

12 gauge

Doing nothing

I never used hydro pump in the main games

Guess why

[thorny pelican]

That... might be a you problem then.

I'm someone who replayed Colress Part 2 over 50 times to get SS Elesa to give me more than three Breathtaking! MPRs so I could defeat him with a 1/5 Hilda EX

[signal halo]

I needed to replay 5 times to get skyla to give me her tm mpr once

[thorny pelican]

If repeating battles isn't something that can fit your schedule or patience then you might need to reconsider how you're enjoying the game what what makes it worthwhile

[maiden kayak]

yea i dont understand why the hell u use alder for corless when its clearly not the way

im assuming its corless

[signal halo]

I'm not using it for colress

[maiden kayak]

since theres acc drop

[signal halo]

He just missed 3 times at 90% accuracy

[maiden kayak]

im pretty sure rosa has no acc drop

[signal halo]

Yes

[maiden kayak]

then try again

[signal halo]

That's the whole point of it

[maiden kayak]

then try again

i fcking had to use burgh and it was more brutal

[thorny pelican]

SS Elesa gives Accuracy, hopefully she is an option for you

[maiden kayak]

alder is such a luxury

[signal halo]

I like burgh much more than alder simply in virtue of him not missing his move every time I play

And I'd happily clear it with burgh if I didn't need 5 resets to get a 40% chance reset to happen once

[maiden kayak]

honestly

u give up too fast

5 resets is nothing

complain for what

just do again

[signal halo]

I didn't do just five resets

I had many more uncounted ones

I just found particularly tilting

[timber wren]

aqua telling them to get good and try harder is not helpful

[signal halo]

That I had to go through an event less likely than getting a master fair in a single multi just because skyla felt like it

[maiden kayak]

he had alder

like ALDER

[timber wren]

you can get better help in #1009557516369281075 but please do know that its okay to walk away from it and forego the 300 gems

[timber wren]

this is still not helpful, please cut it out

[signal halo]

Yes, I'm just asking how I convince myself that alder isn't a failure after missing 3 hyper beams in a single run against Rosa, with the usual 90% accuracy

[maiden kayak]

im annoyed

[signal halo]

Because that puts me in a situation where I just wanna go and get SS Hilbert even if I skip the EB

[maiden kayak]

and irritated by this

[spare thorn]

Could you bring Lillie

Buff team acc

[unborn pier]

What was your team

[maiden kayak]

Lillie will die once sync is out

[spare thorn]

So

[signal halo]

Ingo, skyla and alder

[maiden kayak]

only ss morty and scjasmine can tank

[sleek whale]

you could grid alder for acuracy nodes

[timber wren]

i would drop ingo for ss elesa if you have her

[unborn pier]

Yeah I used that exact team

[signal halo]

Ingo was mainly to cut off the Regen and buff alder's crit so he can hyper beam asap

[unborn pier]

If Ingo’s 3/5 you can just have sandy pep rally max speed

[timber wren]

alder doesnt have accuracy tiles at 1/5

[signal halo]

2/5

[unborn pier]

Oh still I think it’s a passive

[sleek whale]

yeah its his base passive

[unborn pier]

Do you have any of them EX’d

[signal halo]

Skyla and ingo

[unborn pier]

Yeah that’s good

[signal halo]

I could also EX alder

[maiden kayak]

skyla must be 3/5

[signal halo]

She is

And Ingo is 2/5

[unborn pier]

Shame you miss out on Ingo Adrenaline but I stopped using Sandstorm after a few attempts

[maiden kayak]

i still think ss elesa is a better candidate

[sleek whale]

2/5 gets adrenaline irrc

[maiden kayak]

cos of her tm

[unborn pier]

3/5 EX Skyla 1/5 EX Alder 3/5 EX Ingo

[signal halo]

I'm unsure if my elesa has vigilance

[unborn pier]

I think Adrenaline’s a 3/5 10 energy node but can’t remember

[maiden kayak]

u have alder

[signal halo]

Alder isn't ex yet, but I have power ups

[maiden kayak]

just wipe it out before rosa use crit all

[signal halo]

Adrenaline is 2/5

[unborn pier]

Team worked for me pretty easily

[maiden kayak]

alder has the ability to do that

[unborn pier]

You can wipe Rosa out fast like on SpA All or just after

Especially with support EX syncs

[maiden kayak]

imo

2x support EXes

so u get 4 sync buffs+ hyper beam

[unborn pier]

Yeah

10k Hyper Beams are great

[maiden kayak]

pretty sure this will wipe out rosa like a vampire cockroach

[signal halo]

I can only get 2 support EXes if I drop 20 power ups flat on elesa

I have 58, so still enough to spare

[maiden kayak]

i would use ss elesa as tanker to activate the evasion passive

[unborn pier]

I EX’d Alder today to make the fight easier but I don’t think it mattered that much

[maiden kayak]

i dont think its ideal to EX striker in this extreme battle

[unborn pier]

Stats didn’t make a significant difference and sides just gradual heal from sync

[maiden kayak]

cos all opponents has diff type weakness

[unborn pier]

Still an EX I wanted to do anyways so I’m happy

[maiden kayak]

it doesnt make it easier

unless u can activate nuke multiplier

for eg sp def drop from burgh smarty pants

[unborn pier]

Sides heal from it very quickly if it’s 1/5

[timber wren]

tough skin makes it so his aoe sync will do very little

[maiden kayak]

yea

[unborn pier]

Yeah

[maiden kayak]

tough skin is the annoying one

[timber wren]

youd be EXing him just for the spa bump on hyper beam

[maiden kayak]

the biggest threat is actually hilda if anything

[unborn pier]

I like Alder hyper beam because his SpA stat is already a lot higher than the other ones with that move

[maiden kayak]

aoe EQ

Actually alder can do chip dmg to hilda first

and estimate your damage to kill just before rosa use crit all

by the time hilda is already chipped off quite abit

nate is whatever

not really a big threat

[unborn pier]

Seems too dangerous to me

[maiden kayak]

with aoe swift

alder might not need that

but burgh needs that to maximise the turns

but of cos

[unborn pier]

Oh wait Alder can kill Rosa quite quickly I get what you mean

[maiden kayak]

this is pretty difficult to grasp for beginner

its really maxing your brainpower

like

i ended the battle with like 8 sync boosts

thats how insane turn maximisation is needed

and it was clutch

[unborn pier]

I think I had 7 or something

[maiden kayak]

yea it was really high sync boost count

[signal halo]

I couldn't ever go that long because skyla always stops at 3 potions per run at most

That if she doesn't also skip the tm mpr

Which she did 9 times in a row

[unborn pier]

Don’t reset for Skyla TM

[maiden kayak]

skyla has 2 potion mpr

[signal halo]

That's as likely as getting a master fair with 300 gems

[maiden kayak]

ingo also have potion too

[unborn pier]

Just use sandstorm after the second sync cycle

[maiden kayak]

just use ss elesa

make your life easier

sync accl

[unborn pier]

Yeah

[maiden kayak]

and evasion boost

[signal halo]

Should I dump 17 boosts to make her Ex?

[maiden kayak]

can even get ridicure to activate

up to u

[signal halo]

Also my elesa is 1/5

[unborn pier]

If you want to up to you

[maiden kayak]

ss elesa

rotom

[signal halo]

Yes

[unborn pier]

Oh no TM refreshes?

[maiden kayak]

iirc

[unborn pier]

At 1/5

[maiden kayak]

1/5 has

tm refresh

[sleek whale]

tm mp refresh is 1/5

[maiden kayak]

just doesnt have ridicure

[unborn pier]

Ah k

[maiden kayak]

but use her to tank and heal up with skyla potion

[sturdy flower]

well, you know, i did it with Alder... 1/5...

[sleek whale]

not like copies will change much since they rely on spak debuffs which rosa is immune too

[sturdy flower]

i wouldn't use Ingo in your setup, he's a liability

[signal halo]

I didn't feel like she was a particularly good tank, since in that stage she pretty much never dodges due to the accuracy buffs

[sturdy flower]

is your Skyla EX?

[maiden kayak]

what level

have a feeling its cos of level

[sturdy flower]

are you running an Unbending grid on her?

[signal halo]

My elesa is 130

[sleek whale]

rosa debuffs defence?

[maiden kayak]

i dont remember rosa battle has debuff

[signal halo]

Skyla and alder are 140

They don't debuff anything

[sturdy flower]

wrong one

yeah just run the clasic stagger

do you have Lucian?

[maiden kayak]

wont lucian die lol

[sturdy flower]

he will last till spdef is at -6

[maiden kayak]

i mean its a good idea tho

[sturdy flower]

it obviously requires few pot mprs though

#1009557516369281075 message

[maiden kayak]

can he survive EQ

thats the most impt qn

[sturdy flower]

yes, but he will die to Swift before Rosa syncs

[maiden kayak]

lol rip

[sturdy flower]

rather, before Rosa would sync since Alder finishes her off before

[maiden kayak]

so basically need quad queue

[sturdy flower]

and then it's not worth to keep him alive since every other move is AOE

i kinda learned to quad queue very well so

but Alder can kill her before she syncs, as long as he doesn't miss even once

without syncing himself

towards the end hyper beams hit for 13k

[signal halo]

This likely isn't my day for doing this

Skyla refuses to refresh over and over

[sturdy flower]

that's my Hop

[signal halo]

Two potion mpr tiles and she doesn't do it

Over several runs

[sturdy flower]

well you know, one run I missed 4 hyper beams in a row

[signal halo]

I got 3 misses

[maiden kayak]

which is why u use ss elesa

[signal halo]

Yes, but she isn't dodging

Skyla doesn't refresh and from time to time, alder decides to miss twice on a single run

Not anymore

With elesa, but then I swapped him missing with her taking all the hits

[sturdy flower]

if you have regular Elesa

Lodge Elesa might be a good choice there for a support

• raises sp. def for the whole team, complementing Skyla
• raises accuracy, helps Alder setup turn earlier
  - activates bug theme skill of his(actually electric)
• lowering speed might prove useful for when only sides are remaining, lowering their attack frequency

[unborn pier]

granted that you have good enough luck to max her in lodge in 11 days

[sturdy flower]

mine is lvl 30 already, should be no problem

[sleek whale]

isn't lodge elesa electric

[maiden kayak]

support

[signal halo]

My elesa is at 25

On lodge

[sleek whale]

damm you guys lucky

[sturdy flower]

ah, she is electric

💀

i kinda want to try her with Kyurem

[heady ice]

Just like steven/deoxys, i'm very tempted for hilbert/genesect for the multiple utilities

[unborn pier]

Do you want us to persuade you not to

[heady ice]

nope. just expressing my thoughts

[unborn pier]

Ah

[heady ice]

I think I'm pretty disciplined on saving gems

and sticking with my goals

[sturdy flower]

he covers the most common types though

most common as in "most likely we are going to get a pokemon in them"

[heady ice]

He does, yes. But my Ice and Bug could use another pair

[sturdy flower]

yeah, but for ice he can't really sync

[heady ice]

He'd mainly be used for rebuffs on the type

that's where I see his utility

Not so much dmg

[sturdy flower]

he's fine for bug, but his innate sync multiplier is annoying to cap

it's a 4 bar move

[heady ice]

However, I'll be holding until datamine

[sturdy flower]

correct decision

[heady ice]

Unless it's a master fair, I usually just hold till datamines

pokefairs I heavily weight the pros/cons

weigh*

unless if it's elesa

[sturdy flower]

Hilbert has a conflict of interest in his kit

he could be a great debuffer, but it's a waste of his potential

so i'd rather have an unit like Dawn who focuses more on that one thing

[tough oriole]

I wish Anni N reran

[sturdy flower]

3.5 anni is possible

[tough oriole]

That wouldn’t help me for this eb string

[sand crown]

Almost gave into weakness for Genesect today but the urge has passed

[viscid flare]

good

[grand bramble]

Almost..... Phew

So.. You managed to beat it?

[sand crown]

Yes, or at the very least, wait until datamine

[viscid flare]

waiting for datamine always good

but why hilbert

[grand bramble]

Me too.... That 5 type coverage is really unique to me.... but I'll wait... I need to focus for Holiday leon

[summer goblet]

well my plan will be to dallie and wait out the month of Nov

and see if there is anything great next month like a powerful mf

[sand crown]

I don't care much for him, but I am a big fan of Genesect. Also, the utility is unique however.... the 5/5 business is on my bad side and I'm not willing to make that investment

[summer goblet]

that's a fair point, its best to wait till datamine to see if you want something more

[sand crown]

Or beyond. By December you have to start thinking half-anni

[vestal leaf]

There's also no real reason to 5/5 any new unit with 5/5 unlocked tbh

The only interesting 5/5 imo are on older units

Like Zekrom and Lysandre

[sand crown]

Certain units I'd actually candy if they got the type of boost Zekrom got for example

[vestal leaf]

Ye

Right now the new units are so good even 1/5 is enough

[reef river]

Hilberts definitely a meta temptation pull for me. I dont have any rebuff units yet and hes a 5-in-one for that

Albeit awkwardly

[vestal leaf]

Going 5/5 now is a move I'd make only if you got extremely luck on the banner

[timber wren]

his rebuff is very limited in that it can only be used on-type, which he should crush comfortably anyways

[vestal leaf]

His rebuff is useful only if used as a gauge machine and debuffer, which rarely happens

[sturdy flower]

i actually skipped all half anni units despite starting on it, because they were tailored to players playing for a longer period of time (i don't consider the MF part of half anni)

[sand crown]

There will be MFs between now and half-anni as it is

So if December comes and goes without any, I'm not sure what to think

[vestal leaf]

I'm kinda on edge about next VA

Will they really drop it on February again?

[summer goblet]

man if there is no mf for December

[vestal leaf]

It's a really bad way to streak from Dec to half anni

[summer goblet]

then i have e reason to go pull for Hilda and Hilbert

i already had to ditch Brendan and May for anni

[sand crown]

We'll just have to wait and see

[vestal leaf]

Dec having Xmas, Jan with nyears, start of VA, Feb with P2 of VA, pals and pre half anni...

[summer goblet]

yep

[vestal leaf]

Would be yikes

[summer goblet]

its all about being selective

[vestal leaf]

Yeah

[sand crown]

There is no way you can keep up with the onslaught, just gotta be picky

[summer goblet]

unless you are a whale

[vestal leaf]

But I've been selective a lot

[sand crown]

Well....yes

[vestal leaf]

But I already know I'm scouting a NY unless both are good (then I'd skip for next year's rerun)

And I know I'm going for palentines rerun

Also if ice zone drops for Xmas, I have a bet to follow

I really hope they don't drop in my kalos faves too

That would be just terrible

[sand crown]

December's going to be loaded because it usually is

[summer goblet]

yep

[sturdy flower]

is it?

[manic python]

december has had pretty mid units tbh

[sturdy flower]

ah, LuSSa last year

lightbulb Necrozma aside, her outfit is nice

[timber wren]

we got celesa too and sonia

[sturdy flower]

so spotlights? nice

[summer goblet]

plus HLeon and HNessa

[sturdy flower]

(well celesa is pokefair i know)

[summer goblet]

oh yeah forgot Grimsley exist in December and he is great

[lunar topaz]

I expect Hisui for January

[slow hare]

mad hopium but i hope you're right

[sturdy flower]

i just want them to confirm we do get hisui at some point

[slow hare]

I'm on the verge of giving up hope for Hisui, I really am

[sturdy flower]

just please no pokemon go professors or something

[slow hare]

Lmao honestly I would never pull for them

But if it means cross promo I'd be for it because we need all the help we can get when TPCi barely acknowledges we exist

("we" being Pokemon Masters)

[summer goblet]

man so sad that Pokemon Masters are on the minority still

its one of the most innovative game we seen in a while

from a lore perspective

[slow hare]

Cuz nobody knows the game exists cuz it gets no promo. And the promo these days is trash

The promo for this game used to be so flippin awesome

The trailers and stuff

[summer goblet]

totally

need something like a web anime

similar to Pokemon Evolution

and Pokemon husui sereis

[slow hare]

The funny thing is that almost anything is good promo for Masters

This game is pure fanservice

If you love Pokemon you'll love PoMa

[summer goblet]

better fanservice than Pokemon Journeys for sure

[heady ice]

call me crazy, but i actually enjoy the battling mechanics more than the main line games

[slow hare]

Ur not crazy tbh

[summer goblet]

one thing Pokemon Journey lacks is side characters interacting each other that is not Ash

[summer goblet]

yeah same here

felt more like the anime battle that we all grew up with

[slow hare]

PoMa is a way more ambitious and extensive crossover experience for sure

That's what keeps me hooked tbh it's so fun to see the characters interact and I agree the battles are fun

[summer goblet]

totally agree

[slow hare]

I understand the argument it's repetitive but still fun for short bursts imo

[summer goblet]

why can't Pokemon Journeys can execute half as decent as Pokemon Masters

[slow hare]

If ur finding it repetitive maybe you just play too much xD

[summer goblet]

yeah true

[sand crown]

I know it isn't feasible to their model but my goodness, a crossover mainline game

[lunar topaz]

The other gacha game I play people want to start a gem zen channel there omg

[thorny pelican]

what lol

[lunar topaz]

I never expected to see the day of gem zen spreading across games I’m so happy about this information

[grand bramble]

Interesting

what game is that.. mind if I ask

[thorny pelican]

that's crazy man

[grand bramble]

Hold on.... People from other gacha games never save recourses?

[lunar topaz]

In feh people rarely ever save

Only the big Yts do not much else

[drowsy saddle]

Having a channel dedicated to saving is a rare sight

[grand bramble]

Maybe because of the rates... But the most important thing is saving for guaranteed

[lunar topaz]

Fehs rates aren’t good it’s 3*% for focus

But the same rate for off focus

And pity is behind a $9 paywall most players have

[grand bramble]

Oohhhhhhh

that's a shame

[broken mulch]

Some banners aren’t guaranteed lol

You can save a bajillion currency but if your luck is bad you’re never getting what you want lol

[lunar topaz]

Correct

[broken mulch]

I ragequit my last Gacha exactly because of that haha

I wanted my emo husbando…

[lunar topaz]

Just on the recent banners I tried going after 2 favs didn’t get either sadge

[grand bramble]

yea... I dont like that kind of game which gives you like that

[lunar topaz]

Feh has been healing in recent times which is an extreme rarity still not very good tho lel

[viscid flare]

If i get lucky on N i might reach 200k by the end of the year

So happy

[reef river]

Its impossible for me to save in feh bc its so easy to get to that games equivalent of scout points

You get like 2 per month

[sturdy hatch]

Make sure to get your Otherworldly Event missions done if you haven't!

[thorny pelican]

Tonight is also the last night to harvest your Halloween Loot from the Extra Exhibition in Trainer's Lodge

When I say Halloween Loot I just mean the extra lodge pickups from exhibition

Excabitions?

[sturdy hatch]

I hope they give us the remaining material automatically if we don’t collect the minute before reset

[thorny pelican]

If I was DeNA

I wouldn't

Too busy devoting my company time to punish leakers and make Lillie Alts

[sturdy hatch]

We can use the same trainer in a team from next update we need 15 Lillie Alts

[lunar topaz]

About that…

The multipliers from this event were way to low…

[thorny pelican]

Yeah it was a nightmare earning for this event

Barely got everything and damned some other items

[sturdy hatch]

I cleared everything except the lv110 and 120 uncap materials

[ashen thunder]

Bless tech candies

[lunar topaz]

I have to wait for them

[sturdy hatch]

You shouldn't be that far behind, but definitely the worst event I've ever seen for ticket rates

[ashen thunder]

I cleared everything except 3 helena copies and 110 mat

[thorny pelican]

Hmm

I'm a bit of a masochest

[sturdy hatch]

The prioritisation here feels wrong

[thorny pelican]

I enjoy having limited and concentrated effort for events like this

Reminds me of the first Mewtwo event

[ashen thunder]

I just fed candies

[lunar topaz]

I was pretty behind on wally event and that carried over for this one

Snd more events kept coming

[ashen thunder]

I blame the sinnoh events

[sturdy hatch]

Feels odd, unless you were in training area

or missed some days

SInnoh events were easy clears luckily, same as all VAs

But because of otherworldly for the first time I dind't farm on a VA event

[lunar topaz]

I missed like a weeks worth cause of wally

[sturdy hatch]

But how were you so far behind on Swally!

[lunar topaz]

Bad rng

[sturdy hatch]

Garbage event

I am vaguely tempted to clear the remaining items but why do that to myself no-one will ever know

[lunar topaz]

Yea we should def send feedback

[fallen path]

Tbh this was the one event where it was better to just use the candies to save time

[sturdy hatch]

I don’t think it was that bad considering no other uses for stamina but definitely one where you can’t clear the rewards

[broken mulch]

?

I got everything as usual

[lunar topaz]

I couldn’t…

This month felt very event cluttered

And it’ll only get even more clustered the more seasonals we get

[tardy fiber]

I got everything except those gym leader and elite four notes

[sturdy hatch]

You have Iris of course though

I had only Faitlin

This better not be a trend as I have literally no Christmas or New Years units

[tardy fiber]

So we both only have 1 unit right? So we both same boost

I dont have other fall units

Unless sawyer got extra boosts that I don't know of

[sturdy hatch]

Wait the current Fall units didn't get a bigger boost?

[livid rover]

Wasn't there an event with four different items to get

[lunar topaz]

I had Furburt and Faitlin

[tardy fiber]

Nope its same multiplier

[lunar topaz]

Idk how I struggled so hard

[tardy fiber]

As much as faltlin

[lunar topaz]

Christmas

[sturdy hatch]

Current ones get 1.6x Vantner

!

[lunar topaz]

Christmas and palentines

[livid rover]

I only had FIris for the majority of the event and I got em all

I only did dailies on Wally tho I admit I got lucky

I did only get two Helena copies though I just candied her

[sturdy hatch]

I'm being gaslit on Resource Saving Support

[livid rover]

Ahh, the worst seasonals

[ashen thunder]

I didn't have any halloween units so I couldn't rly get helena copies

[tardy fiber]

But i got punished in this

Your faltlin owning this

[livid rover]

You're looking at Midnight Battle Ball

[tardy fiber]

Yep so its equal right, the two events run side by side...i got boost on the newest but get lesser on midnight

[livid rover]

Ohhh

[sturdy hatch]

Midnight is an older event and isn't as resource intensive

[livid rover]

Ye

[tardy fiber]

And i still can clear all stuffs

[sturdy hatch]

Because Midnight has no Helena to unlock

[tardy fiber]

So i wonder why not enough for you

[livid rover]

It isn't as worse as the current one though

[sturdy hatch]

BECAUSE I HAD A UNLOCK FIVE COPIES OF A UNIT AND ITS SYNC ORBS AND POWERUPS

[tardy fiber]

I just use my 3* candies

I only claim helena

And orbs

[livid rover]

I do agree the cost of copies should be wayyy lower when you get only 100 of those tix daily

[lunar topaz]

The event was so bad

In terms of output

It didn’t feel even remotely close for that with Naomi

[livid rover]

In terms of story too it was a downgrade from the FMorty and Faitlin one

[ashen thunder]

They should have done 3 copies of helena for 1 mat and 2 copies for the other nat

Coz I was overflowing on the big looking mat in the event

[sturdy hatch]

Ah yes the event where Allister lost his mask yet you can clearly see the mask on his model still

[livid rover]

I did not i mean i know its still there but i didnt see it

It's still better imo cuz not only was it longer it also had a bunch of characters while the FIris one felt shorter and had less content

There's so much potential to her getting Naganadel but they just made it evolve through the power of friendship

[sturdy hatch]

First time in the Pokemon franchise?

[livid rover]

Im a villain fan... I experience it all the time and yet I continue to lie to myself

[vernal glade]

I know who I’m using on my birthday.

But, this is gem zone. Our goal here is to not urge pulling.

[ashen thunder]

Imma being Winona to the co op

And have SSmorty in backline

[lunar topaz]

I thought you meant she was actually getting a buff

[cunning swan]

YOOOOO

[lunar topaz]

Can’t wait for my Serena and Ethan bufff I love using them

[tough oriole]

I saw it more as Poipole learned from Iris’s dragon vibes

[tardy fiber]

I like that it will buff my silver a lot

[sturdy flower]

can't wait for Santa Lillie and Vulpix!

[lunar topaz]

Omg now at the gem zen is real

[vernal glade]

Would that be her 4th or 5th alt?

[lunar topaz]

Do you think dreamy would mind if I were to repurpose this for that new one and specific it for that game?

[cunning swan]

can't wait for my arcablue buff

[tardy fiber]

I just noticed anniN also have low 294 atk spatk...a boost to bunch of my faves so gonna maxed it out day 1

[oak crest]

it will be good for your new fire fave pair too since i realized it has really low def despite its high attk/spattk values (you know who I'm referring to)

[signal halo]

I found a weird saving mechanism that might cost me long term

[rotund sleet]

if only

[signal halo]

But it saved me from pulling on a full pity, at least

I've spent a candy out of spite for an ebe, on a fave I have been tempted to 3/5 ever since I got him, but

A candy nonetheless

To get Emmet's sync nodes

[maiden kayak]

scemmet?

[signal halo]

No

I used him for colress

Ingo Emmet Bertha

[maiden kayak]

emmet isnt a bad choice since its a limited

[signal halo]

He was on the low prio kind of pairs due to already getting most of his important stuff at 1/5

But he is likely my favourite pokefair in the game

So it doesn't feel bad to hyper invest on him

[broken mulch]

Oh wait I just realized

I had nearly max multipliers for Halloween events

My bad guys

[ashen thunder]

5/5 for favs

[signal halo]

I'm too new for that

3/5 however...

[tardy fiber]

Oh i didnt notice that, that would be good...because before this i use her with evelyn and ssmorty

[grand bramble]

Say good bye to fall allister

Tbh... I truly underestimate his kit and moveset cuz I didn't pay enough attention... I started to get interested on him ever since the 6 solo video in a span of 4-5 hours of his released...

See you next year

[thorny pelican]

Saving resources is always a good thing

[lean mango]

Gem count, close to hitting 40k

[violet nebula]

Excellente

[rotund sleet]

i cooka da pizza

[violet nebula]

MF's in December

Then the 3.5 ani in Feb... Acreus save us😬

They got us good but not doing MF's this month 😅

[rare swan]

Hello Saving Squad, I have hit another milestone

270k.....I'm aiming for 292k, which is 8 pities

Then I think I'm safe for the Kalos VA

That count will DISAPPEAR once it hits

[lofty relic]

lessgo Tai, save for that amazing Kalos VA

[sturdy hatch]

Tai is prepared to 5/5 the whole VA

[lofty relic]

lmao

[rare swan]

I am ready to suffer

[lofty relic]

need to repost this here but

it's the year 2021

you join PoMa server and post this screenshot

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/681659012798087196/1037669195325911090/Screenshot_20221103-110627.png

you claim it's daily logins

you get banned for fake news

[sturdy hatch]

Wait have they fixed blissful bonanza?

Has anyone not claimed items yet?

[tardy fiber]

What happened to blissful bonanza? I claim items from the shop right after i do daily battle

[sturdy hatch]

Previously if you didn’t exchange items before the battles ended you couldn’t do the mission to exchange items

However now the missions still appear ‘live’ despite the battles being gone

[tardy fiber]

I see so just like anime ticket issue before this? Mission still exist but daily ash battle already gone, so people cannot clear it to get the ticket?

[sturdy hatch]

Possibly yes

[spare thorn]

Well you got Halloween expedition rewards just by going into lodge at least

[lofty relic]

[sturdy hatch]

300% growth!

[lofty relic]

[tardy fiber]

Hopefully everything is alright for my pursuit of faves

[tawny cedar]

How fast do Xmas reruns dissapear?

[upbeat lotus]

I think they stay for 2 weeks

[tawny cedar]

Like when do they arrive

[chrome nest]

Good news

I electrified Rosa and gang

[tardy fiber]

Mid month i think...the banner probably ends on 2nd or 3rd January just like Last Fall

[tawny cedar]

Oh that's good

I can guarantee xbold then

[tardy fiber]

22-5 not bad

Pretty sure got datamine before it ends

[timber wren]

january datamine has historically come very early

it was on december 21st the past two years

[tardy fiber]

Dena want to have a long holiday

[chrome nest]

Hilbert is no more gems is supreme

[chrome nest]

There’s a thing I like to call “Long term investment” where you have something right now that will be useful sooner or later

For example palkia

I like palkia

Now when i first got it it was okay but when sinnoh Va happened it got a good boost and from that point on wether or not it’s a dragon weak eb or sinnoh eb I’ll always use palkia because it’s useful

Any f2p unit will have a long term investment

[tardy fiber]

Yep thats why i gonna 150 all legendary adventures unit, already done all bp master units... almost finished MC solgaleo but N keep left me without allowing me to give gifts

Zinnia power boost is also great, i build her for draco meteor...can take advantage of her increased spatk after mega

[tawny cedar]

I hope the Johto eeveelutions rerun soon

Cuz i need 6 more limited units to finish johtomax

[maiden kayak]

wow

the last time i saw was 200k

[timber wren]

this is a cry for help from tai. please release trevor tierno and shauna dena or tai will continue to be sad

[livid rover]

please return the villain sygna suit pattern and give us ss lysandre too

[timber wren]

i feel like lysandre power boost this month put the nail in the coffin for a VA alt for him

[livid rover]

That is an absolute L

[timber wren]

i hope i’m wrong for your sake

[livid rover]

What if they did it early so they didn't have to take up space also N got an expansion and a sygna suit ...but he's also N ... oof

[timber wren]

yeah but they did it this month like they did with cynthia’s boost + ssac

[livid rover]

You better be wrong then

||at least allude to an RR alt like Ghetsis .. if it even is an alt...||

[lofty relic]

Hey everyone, check out #pm-bulletin-board , this might be helpful for predicting reruns & savings!

[spare thorn]

We got new villain alts for johto and sinnoh

Nothing for kanto, Hoenn or unova

[timber wren]

N is a villain

[spare thorn]

Pattern says it's time

[timber wren]

its right there in his theme skills

[spare thorn]

[hardy creek]

Only his base pair is villain

All his subsequent pairs don't have the villain skill

iirc

[spare thorn]

Idk, don't have any of them

[viscid flare]

didnt even get all helena copies i candied her (had 20 strike )

[viscid flare]

I hecking love gems

Never had this much before

[violet nebula]

Looks like you have a lot of friend requests

[viscid flare]

do i get gems for accepting them

[hardy creek]

at least decline them instead of leaving them on read 😭

[viscid flare]

hell no

let them sit and rot

[timber wren]

they go away after a while

[south scroll]

I always say yes to friend requests

Save friends like you save gems

[hardy creek]

I did that then my friends list got full

[thorny pelican]

Friends
Gems

[weary spire]

Save Friends™️

[rare swan]

It's true 😭 AAAHHHH

[lofty relic]

they should give gems for accepted friend requests

[fallen path]

If that happened I would friend and unfriend folks constantly lol

[lofty relic]

well up to a limit haha

there is another gacha i used to play that rewarded players up to 3k gems equivalent for playing coop with different people

it refreshed twice a year

[fiery bluff]

probably one of the most f2p friendly gatcha game ive ever played

if anything they shouldnt be giving so much free gems

like they are already

probably hurts them financially

[lofty relic]

[broken mulch]

I think it’s one of DeNa’s more stable Gachas

They were in danger once because so many of their other crap was tanking and Pokemas EX was one of the few to help gain them money haha

[slow hare]

Actually, the generosity of PoMa is what made me want to spend real money

So hard disagree with the ppl who say we get too much lmao

[summer goblet]

lol

they should give us even more free gems to compensate that many limited units

[fiery bluff]

i have spent no money on this game i still have every master fair and fav in the game and have went to pity multiple times

whats my incentive to spend

when i can get everything for free

doesnt make sense tbh

but again thats just my opinion

[sturdy flower]

the only ones who keep up with games that require paying to be enjoyable are whales, that later on quit because there's no one to talk to about the game

[tough oriole]

Every MF? That’s not exactly a common thing for f2p

[fiery bluff]

yes it is

if u just save

XD?

[tough oriole]

Every MF and fav?

[fiery bluff]

yes

legit

[tough oriole]

How many favs do you have

[sturdy flower]

next thing you will tell me you have them all 3/5 too

[fiery bluff]

the only ones i dont have 3/5 are lille and anni steven

so yeah

most of them

are 3/5

[sturdy flower]

johto trio took me 90k gems for 1/5 of them

[fiery bluff]

u know its usually the amount of months bw master pairs that indicate how many master pairs are gonna be released at once

so im guessing next month is gonna be 3 master fairs

[lunar topaz]

MF moment

[fiery bluff]

ive been saving for 2.5 months and im at 87k rn

im gonna have 3 pities by that time

its not that hard

imo

[tough oriole]

Every mf is somewhat reasonable i guess, but every fav as well is a bit hard to fathom

How many favs do you have?

[fiery bluff]

1 only darkrai

[timber wren]

different difficulty for different people

[lunar topaz]

For an full F2P I wouldn’t say it’s exactly common more like “luck dependent” 🦦 most F2P players tend to have 0-2

[timber wren]

this is an advice thread to help people save for what they value

[tough oriole]

Nvm, that makes sense

[fiery bluff]

ye mb

😦

[sturdy flower]

always gotta say not enough gems

[tough oriole]

A lot of people here have several favs. I myself have like 7 that i’m waiting for reruns alone

Lillie and N being favs is costly

[lunar topaz]

My favs boil down to starters and protags

[sturdy flower]

for me it's pokemon + character + outfit + kit combo

so I can only decide once the unit comes out

[fiery bluff]

yeah for me its pretty different my fav even in the all the other games are maxed out stats and kits its not pokemon

[timber wren]

nbd and i’m glad it’s been easy for you but try to be mindful of others

[sturdy flower]

having all master fairs would be tough for me, since I'm playing only for few months, and there's no room to get the previous ones and new

not to mention other units "catch up" to them quite fast

[lunar topaz]

I’m fine with my 3-4* gacha pairs

I love how some of them play especially bugsy he’s been so useful@for bug

[sturdy flower]

would honestly like more of them, but they don't get released

the other gacha i play also stopped releasing 3* and 4* units at some point, the last 3* was like 3 or 4 years ago in it

[lunar topaz]

The other one I play has 3 demotes per banner 💀

And that games version it a BP unit every month

[sturdy flower]

yeah, but do you use multiple teams in it

[lunar topaz]

For that game since it’s mostly PvP or PvP but controlled by AI

You use a lot of teams

[sturdy flower]

i see, hope pvp never comes here or it will mess with people's gem zen mindset

[lunar topaz]

In total you prolly have 22 teams that yoh use for that game

[fiery bluff]

will be fun tho

pvp

in fact i think it would help the zen mindset

[lunar topaz]

PvP would not work for this game unless they completely change how battles are as the units aren’t balanced for it

[fiery bluff]

when ppl get thrashed they would want to save for the right units wont be yoloing on random spotlights no?

[sturdy flower]

i don't want pvp, but i wish we could design battles and let other players face them

[lunar topaz]

I disagree as in that other gacha I play people saving is a rarity because almost everyone that plays it has the mentality of “if I don’t pull this unit how far in the meta will I be…”

[sturdy flower]

but not the units they want, just meta

meta chasing is boring, i don't look at character art in the other game I play, i don't care, i just check the kits

[lunar topaz]

That’s what feh calls “defense” you create a team for enemy players to phase but it uses your units controlled by an AI

[sturdy flower]

i'd rather have something like mario maker with rental pokemon

[lunar topaz]

Make battle factory a mode plz

[sturdy flower]

you design a battle, choose possible rental units (or exact team) and have to prove yourself the battle is beatable

[lunar topaz]

They could incorporate the gen 4 battle frontier super perfectly fit this game

Battle castle is basicallu@villa but you have to save your resources way more

And you keep statuses in between fights

[sturdy flower]

just let us keep all stat changes but remove sync buffs

[lunar topaz]

Hall would be where solos are peak, arcade could add more gacha to the gacha, factory use random mc mons

[sturdy flower]

and design it around teams entering buffed

[tardy fiber]

True, units can deal bunch of damage like 10k-99k but highest hp for units is like 1k or something

[lunar topaz]

I believe brawly is still our highest Hp unit

[sturdy flower]

not Roark?

[tardy fiber]

Roark is more than him

[lunar topaz]

Oh lel

[cunning swan]

ayooo Roark

I'm curious what they'll do for his grid lol

[broken mulch]

Recoil Removal 4

[tough oriole]

[tardy fiber]

Hugh gambles more than Grimsley ...i just gonna copium for Arceus and Regigigas for better normal faves

[nocturne spade]

I am praying there are no masterfairs next datamine. I can’t keep up

[livid rover]

I wonder which character they can do another wild card master fair for like Lusamine

[tardy fiber]

Nate

[viscid flare]

Unlikely we go 3 months withought a master fair

[sturdy hatch]

Why can't you keep up? What else are you pulling?

[nocturne spade]

For all of 2022 I’ve had enough to safely pull pairs without waiting for datamine but yea ill have to wait on N

Anni hit me hard

Ss Steven before that then I couldn’t resist iris rosa & hilbert

[tardy fiber]

I just skip non faves MF...i already skipped sstred, ash, ssacynthia and probably leon rerun

[vernal glade]

I only skip Alolas. But I also aim a tiny bit on Galar.

[lean mango]

Skipping Anni month was great, tons of gems

[lunar topaz]

I forgot what happened during ani month that I ||spent was that when SC rerun happened?||

[tardy fiber]

Yep

[broken mulch]

N’s high on my fav list but I’m waiting for December datamine

[tardy fiber]

I hope there's a boost of coins on December or January

As they might need some time to implement the feedback given due to 5/5

I will give them two month's time

January i just gonna buy basic bundle

[thorny pelican]

Considering that coin income is a constant passive, what's the difference between waiting for it and purchasing a 20 day pack for slightly delayed gratification?

It'll happen

[tardy fiber]

I just buy it because my tech coin and strike coin demands are way higher than supports currently

[thorny pelican]

I'd like to ask your definition of "demands" and what qualifies as a need

[weary spire]

I'd imagine their demands are the pairs they'd like to get around to candying for whatever reason that is, but won't get around to candying all for a while due to the amount needed to do so

It's simply a matter of spending money for further progress, nothing new or too wild really, so long as it's within their financial means

[tardy fiber]

Yep this like can only make 1 tech candy in 2 months but they release naganadel, genesect, black kyurem, shaymin all techs...so 8 tech candies needed to 3/5 them

Luckily i doesn't chase 5/5 pairs

And pulling for more dupes in the banner kinda bad if RNG screws you and the second dupe costs another pity to obtain

1 strike, 4 techs, 0 support faves in these 3 months

[weary spire]

if you're wanting to candy a ton of pairs over time, you may as well prioritise the Master Fairs, because you can select others for dupes
which'd actually be pretty cheap with the basic daily gem bundle

[tardy fiber]

Yep i prioritize master fair and seasonal...well in case of select scout, DeNa doesn't offer all units like seasonal select

Only ssmorty and ssdawn fave in 1 select, and sscyrus in second select

Unless they improve it

To be as much as seasonal select choices

Also need to factor that select only give 1 dupe every 3/4 months but would be bad if its like above, which DeNa add 5 faves in 3 months

So you adding more than you can cover with selects

[weary spire]

the selects are more of a bonus, yeah

but you'd rather not have all the selects available in a small pool be ones that you've already candied for 3/5

[tardy fiber]

Im fine if they increase the frequency of selects if they did this, like before this i skip the 5k select scout due to i already got sscyrus 3/5 and other units in it are not faves

Also the inequality of roles distributed also cause this problem...if i didn't grab coin bundle, i will need 12 tech candies, 8 strike, 6 support

So i gonna use 2 months of coin bundle to reduce the techs demand

[umbral meteor]

dec , jan , feb , march , aug , sep are peak months yeah

Probably gonna be a minimum of 30k from dec - march now

If april gets SC then likely its 30k too since SC months are also high

[spare thorn]

I like how they sped up the celebration scene in co op so all 3 play

[thorny pelican]

idk if December is going to be a peak month when last year is barely scraped by with 24k

It's hard to tell, and I feel players have this expectation that they'll be given a large amount of gems now as opposed to previous years thanks to this year's Feb, Apr, and Aug months being so generous

[umbral meteor]

It was 27k

well im referring to december update more than december as a month

v 2.15 was 27k to be exact

dec , jan , feb , march , aug , sep are the peak ones generally

april , may , june , july , oct , nov is expected to be low

This years april got SC and may got 40 millions rally so they got boosted a bit

[thorny pelican]

Anyways it would be nice to alleviate a lot of the players' gem counts from the recent banners. There's been a lot of high value banners people have been investing into and dropping them into the four-digit ranges

[umbral meteor]

the high value banners wont stop anyways unfortunately

[thorny pelican]

I'll hope for their sake December gets a decent gem income again

[umbral meteor]

as per previous years it probably will

3rd year in general had a lot of fantastic banners as compared to 1st & 2nd anw

[tardy fiber]

Are lussamine and xmas units are the only limited units for last December?

dec 2021 , jan 2022 , feb 2022 , july 2022 , oct 2022 all 4 limiteds

They forgotten about CElesa and Champion Iris this VA.

Well thanks DeNa for the cheap 20 days bundle

they dont have much to do in unova story

It's typically the protags anyhow

considering max gap btwn new mfs so far have been 3 months by that we are probably gonna get one in next update so 4 limiteds can be 1mf + 1pf + 2 seasonals like last year or 2mfs + 2 seasonals since 2 seasonals are locked anw

Hail is low-key gauge support, with all the delay it causes.

Lorelei Articuno please DeNa

[chrome nest]

Sounds something irida will get

[mild spindle]

More non-5star alts. 😤

[tardy fiber]

But I don't mind not getting any new support faves...3 of my bp pairs are still 1/5

Can spend candy on them

[lofty relic]

can we please just get an EX support that can +6 speed in 3 turns or less?

that's all i've been asking for since 2021

[tardy fiber]

Sounds like sycamore power boost

[tough oriole]

Sounds like skyla

[tardy fiber]

Plus head start lucky skill

[lofty relic]

well Sycamore needs to sync

[lofty relic]

other than skyla

[tough oriole]

Faitlin?

[lofty relic]

have her maxed already

i need a new one

[tardy fiber]

I just hope that magearna and enamorus are not supports...i gonna sync with sycamore anyway

[lofty relic]

i have all of them

which are basically non existent

roxanne marley rachel skyla fcaitlin hilbert lyra nita

none of these are 2022 pairs and half of those can't be EX'd

so far i'm happy my savings have been continuously increasing

the daily income from the bundles feel nice

[thorny pelican]

Imagine making games in a corrupted and dead western industry

[mild spindle]

How does one save gems when N exists, and Ice Zone inc?

[lofty relic]

you play better pairs like Candice and realize powercreep is an illusion

[tardy fiber]

Im happy that i might still have big gems entering December

[chrome nest]

Just use ghetsis

For ice

[tardy fiber]

Already use him

And i even have 150 Ghetsis

402 spatk

[timber wren]

another EB where the free unit can carry you

[chrome nest]

I don’t know if that statement is true

Because ghetsis failed

[tardy fiber]

Nothing goes wrong when investing on legendary adventures unit

[chrome nest]

But he did send Nate’s bird to the ice age

[lofty relic]

check #1009557516369281075

i have lots lots of F2P videos there

[chrome nest]

Eh I just use N

[timber wren]

easy as ABC (Always Be Csavinggems)

[chrome nest]

Regular one

[lofty relic]

someone did the EBE with Skyla Ghetsis Cheren
Ghetsis and Skyla not EX'd

[chrome nest]

Mad man

[lofty relic]

powercreep is an illusion
save gems, get gems

[chrome nest]

Always is

[thorny pelican]

EB Colress and Rosa pt 2

The free unit was Skyla

Skyla is the MVP

[tardy fiber]

Maybe Conserving gems would fit that ABC more

[lofty relic]

i constantly tell ppl to EX Skyla, she's a staple in 90% of the events

[thorny pelican]

Technically though

All units in this game are free units

[chrome nest]

I haven’t

Which is ironic

Cause I’m in the skyla squad channel thing

[timber wren]

she’s still an excellent EX candidate for players of all ages

dreamy was just going on about aoe speed buffers and she’s one of the few

[chrome nest]

I remember saying “Why support ex they do no damage” ohhhh I was so wrong

[lofty relic]

and one of the rare 2 Potion MPRs

which a lot of beginners use because they don't queue properly so survival is their need

[timber wren]

speed, mega pots, flinch, flag bearer

[chrome nest]

Skyla (Almost) can have unlimited banadages

[timber wren]

the biggest issue for new players is those 3* and 4 support candies are relatively rare

[tardy fiber]

I got a friend that started a new account, i was surprised that total gems that newbie can get now nearing a pity amount...well more VA we get, more permanent content for new players also legendary arena becoming permanent

Newbie starts with free bluegeot, 8 5* legendary adventures units, and 1 5* from every VA plus 1 of sskantrio

[thorny pelican]

And yet so many feel they need to reroll

[tardy fiber]

Well reroll will add another 1/2 strong 5* at start

[chrome nest]

Might as well get a new strong fair sync pair

[thorny pelican]

Unless there's a master fair, a seasonal they'd like, or an absolute favorite they'd want, I'd never recommend pulling in an immediate way

The first thing new players need to be given is the context of what is at their disposal and what is time-limited vs what isn't

[tardy fiber]

I wonder if master fair can still be glorified like before, pokefairs and seasonals are catching up to their performance

[thorny pelican]

Pokemon Masters, and most gachas out there, do their best to conceal this information as best they can so the player can make immediate bad decisions that causes a longterm re-building of resources to be put in a better position

[umbral meteor]

In v 2.16 not v 2.15

she was in january 2022 datamine

[dire meteor]

Does using Masked Royale strictly as a speed buffer count

[umbral meteor]

they should start only when theres a broken master fair running i would still say rerolling ss kanto is worth tho i mean if you can why not

[umbral meteor]

lyra

[lofty relic]

serviceable but

[lofty relic]

#1010275375730925638 message i listed them there (sabrina not coz gauge usage + clunky imo but it is true yes)

[umbral meteor]

sabrina

ah

[umbral meteor]

probably might be holiday22

[umbral meteor]

master fair ice zone candidates? probably kyurems or articuno only or another ice calyrex

[mild spindle]

I'm guessing the NY selects also in that update.
Only going up to the 24th.

[umbral meteor]

lol NY content is always in january datamine tho

we'll probably get v 2.28 on like dec21/22 like we do every year

[vestal leaf]

I'm praying mega aboma tbh

Or alola ninetales?

Idk

Support Frosmoth with sterner stuff 5 but on special side would be also cool with it

Inb4 Juan & Walrein

[timber wren]

cara liss and arctozolt

[umbral meteor]

Could be anything

anw

[umbral meteor]

lmao another spotlight zone?

I think it would be seasonal tho

tbh

[cunning swan]

[maiden kayak]

who is cara liss?

[vestal leaf]

Scientist in galar who gives you the fucked up fossils

[timber wren]

she’s the lady what made the galar fossil abominations

different shoes, sock on only one foot. absolutely unhinged

[maiden kayak]

ohhhh

probably free unit if anything

[umbral meteor]

2nd free galar pair

[unborn pier]

the only memorable Galar NPC

[timber wren]

ball guy???

[unborn pier]

ok fair enough

[vestal leaf]

The mine worker female????

[timber wren]

digging pa and digging ma

beloved npcs

[unborn pier]

I only remember them because of the TCG but I think they’re fairly popular

[vestal leaf]

Hairdressers are also nice

So is the dancer

I also like realistic doctor

[maiden kayak]

i hope she gets a chance to debut as free unit

[tardy fiber]

Hope that December, January, February have free NPC units

[umbral meteor]

Likely all 3 have seasonals

id assume seasonals and special costume would have free npcs

[tardy fiber]

Yep more free pairs more better

[sturdy flower]

||Sonia (Ground)||

[tawny cedar]

Who is that

[lean mango]

Gem count,

[tough oriole]

Female Worker from SwSh

Maybe that’s Worker Georgia? I think that was the name of one of them in Galar Mine No 1

[rare swan]

Oh that's satisfying

😌

[vernal glade]

Alrighty, all I gotta do is save till the 18th that’s where my pity be at. So two weeks.

[summer goblet]

very nice

[summer goblet]

Gotta admit, that is the most aesthetically pleasing gem count I’ve seen in a while

Anyway going to keep saving and waiting till next month

[maiden kayak]

i think u can reach 400k

by end of year

maybe not but very close
