[lean mango]

o ye Vantner you can finally take a break

[tardy fiber]

Yes its long deserved

[lean mango]

very

[mental skiff]

calm before the storm

[tardy fiber]

A month of savings for the storm

[mental skiff]

[round mason]

||if i could get victini before Anni N then i'll gladly skip||

[tardy fiber]

If they shower us with striker coins, i might can 3/5 three faves this December

[round mason]

i rly wanna skip the next 3 months

[mental skiff]

Good luck better save from now

I'm gonna reach my goal this month with 1 pity for palentine

[grand bramble]

Wait no.... No!!!!!.... Its actually 6 in 1 banner!!!!

[mental skiff]

nice because i wont pull any banner with Leon on it

Proud to be No-Leon Haver

[tardy fiber]

Oh right next VA might be January or February...pretty sure my fave will appear on VA

[round mason]

no leon rerun yet?

[mental skiff]

Technically

[grand bramble]

All the 6 old holiday units will be on that banner

[mental skiff]

[grand bramble]

I just realised..... No Leon alt as well

This year

[mental skiff]

Christmas is always a weak month in design

[mental skiff]

god blessed us all

[tardy fiber]

Yep i always pray that if DeNa want to release my fave as seasonal, at least not xmas again...hleon outfit looks lame

[round mason]

ok so uh good news
i can skip next month now ||Thank god i got victini...||

[grand bramble]

Judging on thier kits...... I could say Neo Serena is the broken one

[maiden kayak]

||cserena is tempting but i dont wanna shelf out a pity for her||

[grand bramble]

If you have Dark zone and many rain setter.... Neo Calem is a good skip

[maiden kayak]

||shes giving me anni lillie vibes||

[ashen thunder]

DJgloria is better water unit than cserena can ever be

Best unit of this patch is whitney

[tardy fiber]

I gonna 3/5 her this December lets go DjGloria

[ashen thunder]

3 terrains and 180% sync multiplier normal nuke goes brrrr

[round mason]

i already got enough water and dark so ez skip

[grand bramble]

Jasmine is also a good skip if you have Classic red

[maiden kayak]

jasmine is whatever

[round mason]

she's a support?

[maiden kayak]

no crit

[grand bramble]

No crit??

[ashen thunder]

They messed up Jasmine kit
I have no idea why her TM is not aoe

Would have been far better

[tardy fiber]

I gonna grab faves even if i already have abundance of that type...but there's no fave on December so skip

[ashen thunder]

She already has to juggle between se up and smup

[grand bramble]

Man I need Absol info right now!!!!!! ... GamePress took me forever to load

[tardy fiber]

I want poma tools info

[broken mulch]

I never look at my roster anymore LMAO

When deciding who to pull

[chrome nest]

Anything new for this update

[grand bramble]

She does have crit.... On her passive

[tardy fiber]

Can use same trainer in one team

[chrome nest]

YES!

[round mason]

3 lillies and leons in one team?

[grand bramble]

so finally we have 4* gacha unit alt after siebold for almost 3 years.... I hope they do more for 3* and 4* units next year

[round mason]

oh right
is Christmas whitney good?

[grand bramble]

the best one!!!!!!!!!....... To skip

[round mason]

cool

[grand bramble]

She can activate each of 3 terrain... But the passive sucks

[chrome nest]

I can barely get N

Hopefully

[grand bramble]

Well she has 2 use for the terrain

[lean mango]

I don't have enough gems

[grand bramble]

61k....

and who do you aim for?

[lean mango]

I still don't

That's the thing I'm conflicted 😭

[sturdy hatch]

Lol I have 136k and this datamine has me absolutely broke

Everyone should save gems

Never know when December 2022 gonna hit ya

[violet nebula]

February 23 going to be hell

[lean mango]

Jan has me very worried already

[round mason]

why

[lean mango]

But then Dec :cry_pain:

[round mason]

half anni?

[broken mulch]

Time for me to say goodbye to SS Hilbert

[maiden kayak]

waiting for Ny

[broken mulch]

Goodbye you mecha mechanic

[maiden kayak]

NY might hit me real hard

[broken mulch]

Cerena gonna clean me out lol

[violet nebula]

As always due to the length these pairs are out... wait for datamine

[lean mango]

All I know is that I'm skipping Holiday

[violet nebula]

Acreus will reward the patient

[lean mango]

As well as the champion units

[tardy fiber]

I already experienced this on November last year...4 sc faves on a dry gems month

[violet nebula]

It was... unpleasant that

[grand bramble]

You got MORE than mine... I have 52k gems

[tardy fiber]

Luckily this December is a skip

[sturdy hatch]

At least you’re doing well now!

[broken mulch]

Eesh the costume war was rough on me lol

[tardy fiber]

Had to swipe some offers

[tardy fiber]

Luckily sc rosa only have 1 unit

[broken mulch]

Had to skip her sadly

3rd Annie cleaned me out

[grand bramble]

Neo Serena... I called her that... Or should I called her Champ Serena

[sturdy hatch]

New bundle is nice

[tardy fiber]

Oh right its champ calem so sygna suit calem still have chance to appear in kalos VA

[grand bramble]

Anyways...she's Very hard to skip

kinda

Or classic elesa is more better ... No

[tardy fiber]

Yep been getting it as soon as its available...due to its timegated nature, better that i buy it first for future preparation

Gonna keep buying the bundle although next month is a skip month

If 3 selects appears, it will already need 9-15k

[cursive grotto]

|| I'm excited that anniN is returning, he was my biggest heartache when I lost my account ||

[grand bramble]

|| yeah... I'll be getting him too||

Not you

[maiden kayak]

u know

after seeing whitney alt

i think clair alt is very possible

lol

@thorny pelican

[grand bramble]

hey..... she's a story pair unit

of course she will get soon

[round mason]

it should be possible

[grand bramble]

But korrina snatch it instead

[thorny pelican]

Clair will never gain an alt

[grand bramble]

So that you can continue your saving spree

[thorny pelican]

Knowing the leaks of the NY 2023 doesn't help

[tardy fiber]

Got leaks

[thorny pelican]

I literally will save 1m by the time Anni 3.5 happens

this is insane

[tardy fiber]

Time to reach the cap

[grand bramble]

Yooooo... This is your biggest flex yet

urggh

[round mason]

how many gems do you have atm?

[tardy fiber]

Inb4 they release New Year Clair to disturb Chest's goal

[thorny pelican]

uhhh lemme check

[broken mulch]

… oh wait

Is this the second time a 3-4 star Gacha unit got an alt?

Then again Whitney is forced on us

[grand bramble]

Ah yes

[broken mulch]

When we pull the first time ever

[grand bramble]

next year... There will be a bunch of it

[thorny pelican]

856,200

with how slow everything's been I'm starting to doubt I can make 150,000 in 3 months time

[round mason]

damn

[thorny pelican]

I might not reach 1m by the end of february

that's like 50,000 a month

Might reach 1m by my birthday tho

[maiden kayak]

lol

one pity and im definitely below 50% of yours

[thorny pelican]

don't buy anything

[chrome nest]

How many gems this month

[sweet tide]

more than last mth

[rustic karma]

O

thats so good

[sweet tide]

oh oops

i thought last mth was 23k

ok maybe will be the same as last mth lmao

[rustic karma]

oh thats still good tho

[mental skiff]

no rally this month

[sturdy hatch]

Worst December ever

[mental skiff]

So basically the same gems count

[maiden kayak]

wait 23k???

[grand bramble]

What... Same as November?

[maiden kayak]

lol

[grand bramble]

WAT

[maiden kayak]

saving mode then

[round mason]

same gems as last month??

[mental skiff]

Tlim said equals last month

So 26k 👀without rally

I guess Neo Champion isnt that big of thing to Dena to increase the gems count

[round mason]

wtf is neo champion anyways

[mental skiff]

champion but the twist is they are neo

Whatever neo mean...

[grand bramble]

Same as last year

[mental skiff]

hope there is a rally

[chrome nest]

How many gems on the 30th I need to know

I need hope

Also about the 2nd Anni unit rerun

Don’t summon them when they come out

They’re here for a month and a few weeks

[mental skiff]

👀 a lot may be because it is the start of new datamine

[chrome nest]

So 3K?

[mental skiff]

👀1% chance for anni unit i guess not worth the risk

[mental skiff]

👀dunno but it is what the gossip said

[tardy fiber]

At least got free 3k for Christmas

[tardy jolt]

Neo Champions seems like a cool event, more protagonists alts. Looking forward to Lyra, May, Hilda and Rosa when they come

[tardy fiber]

I wonder if others after this will also be Master fairs

[mental skiff]

free like in... Hey check the mail 3000 gems there?

Neo champion is MF?

[tardy fiber]

Calem and Serena are MF

[mental skiff]

Ok

[tardy fiber]

They are neo champions

[rotund sleet]

26k+rally?

for december?

[mental skiff]

26k+no rally

[rotund sleet]

F

i thought it’d be more with the neo thing and the MF but oh well

[mental skiff]

Dena didnt give anything at the end of trailer tho

[tardy jolt]

Some probably will, I think that May MF is bound to come sooner or later, the outfits for the Neo Champions are cool, if they keep this style, I hope she comes as one

Last year did they announce the free pulls in December? Or were they a NY thing?

[mental skiff]

glad those outfits arent my fav

[mental skiff]

New year i guess

[rotund sleet]

i think the outfits are good enough

[mental skiff]

too much detail for me

[tardy jolt]

Mh, hope to hear something about that, NY are always good with selects and the free pulls

[mental skiff]

bruh i need a free pull

Only thing can calm my obssesion for scout zone

[rotund sleet]

where’s the easiest place to read the new units kits?

[tardy fiber]

Serena becoming the first character that have two different master passives kalos spirit and kalos flag bearer

[mental skiff]

Game press

[rotund sleet]

ok ty

[mental skiff]

Imagine 1 day a pair will have all passive is masterfair exclusive

powercreep

[tardy fiber]

I thought DeNa gonna give her another flag bearer like Cynthia but instead they give kalos spirit...just nice for no longer same trainer ban in one team

[mental skiff]

3 same trainer in one team that is kinda weird tho

[rotund sleet]

how does the type change work with calem’s sync?

[chrome nest]

The new master fairs are kinda unnecessary

[rotund sleet]

is it dark sync by default?

[chrome nest]

Water type you have palkia

Dark type

Uh

[mental skiff]

👀

[chrome nest]

Nanu I guess

[mental skiff]

Dark type you also has....

[rotund sleet]

everything is unnecessary

[tardy fiber]

At least now nothing will stop them to import warden Ingo here

[mental skiff]

[rotund sleet]

playing the game is unnecessary

[chrome nest]

I’m saying this so I can save

[rotund sleet]

these MFs aren’t unnecessary more than they are weirdly timed

i thought something like this would show up in kalos VA

[thorny pelican]

Gosh gem count is low?

[mental skiff]

i mean hisui will come eventually if eos isnt a thing

[thorny pelican]

[lean mango]

Wait how many gems?

[tardy fiber]

Really? We already got amounts?

[rotund sleet]

26k iirc

[mental skiff]

26k

[lean mango]

Oh wow that is low

[thorny pelican]

That's not like other celebratory months

[rotund sleet]

it’s low relative to what we’re up against yeah

[tardy fiber]

Oh nice i still gonna reach 2 pities before January

[thorny pelican]

25k-26k new norm

[mental skiff]

hope a rally will drop down from sky

[tardy jolt]

Surely there will be more

[rotund sleet]

i think theyre trying to strike a balance with the new gem deals

[mental skiff]

dont low to down to 25k

[lean mango]

I will barely get 2 pities

[tardy fiber]

The only stuff i gonna spend on December are the pokemas day 2 banners

[rotund sleet]

i’ll have 83k by the end of december

[thorny pelican]

Goodness... It's becoming more and more important to have saved gems back in 2021

[tardy fiber]

I think i gonna have 72k

[lean mango]

Man this isn't helping me for Jan

[mental skiff]

i only have enough for 1 pity and 7-8k gems

[thorny pelican]

I dunno if moving forward that just blind gem saving is going to be enough, might need a new mantra or approach

[tardy jolt]

Yeah, but they are a different currency, ain’t no way I’m using paid gems on non selects

[tardy fiber]

Does the move coins already calculated as well?

[mental skiff]

jan mean yukata and i cant resist yukata sync pair

[lean mango]

I'm worried about a certain NY pair

[chrome nest]

Doesn’t add two of the same characters in one team break the multiverse?

[tardy fiber]

Gonna be wary of new year, kartana looks fitting with yukata concept

[lament vale]

||Jasmine alt dropped||, gonna have to spend

[chrome nest]

Hold it

[thorny pelican]

There's a chance the leak was fake so who knows~

[tardy jolt]

The only logic behind it is that they can sell you more alts, lol, same as multiple legendaries and stuff

[mental skiff]

Use spoiler ||but yeah tempting to pull her ||

[thorny pelican]

Save Gems™️ regardless

[lament vale]

Oh right my bad

[lean mango]

Don't make me feel even more conflicted

[mental skiff]

only good christmas outfit

[lean mango]

I'm debating between 2 men wearing suits my gems are crying rn

[thorny pelican]

Please don't break the rules of this thread lol

It's barely hanging on as a valid community as it is

[tardy fiber]

They took the easy route, i thought they gonna choose only one of 3 N outfits during battles in full N team...turn out 3 N appears

[tardy jolt]

My hope is that I reach the end of the month with still three pities, should manage

[lean mango]

The anni units are at the end of the month right?

[tardy jolt]

26th of December

[lament vale]

Oh I forgot the MF's could run through next month

Very nice news for my gems

[mental skiff]

i dunno why they re run anni tho

[chrome nest]

I’ll rate the units base on how I think of them:

1. Calem is a fine support but I don’t think it’ll be a good addition
2. Serena is unnecessary, palkia supreme
3. Winter units look fine but I’d rather have something more exciting

[tardy jolt]

Good a time as any, they probably didn’t want to have 8 MFs during anni

[lean mango]

Hmm maybe I can skip this month entirely and wait for Jan

[tardy fiber]

The most attractive unit for me in December is the shiny starmie eggmon...hope that i can get it

[chrome nest]

Also

What’s that scizor in the datamine

[tardy fiber]

Probably used by enemies

[chrome nest]

I thought scizors assets were already in the game

[tardy jolt]

All units will prob last into January, so no need to pull right away

Just wait if you think that NY seasonals will be more enticing

[lean mango]

But I've been waiting for this moment ever since I joined

[chrome nest]

I think i was a clown

[tardy jolt]

Talking about Jasmine? It will probably be just a couple of days between her release and datamine

[chrome nest]

If I manage to get ss N I’ll save until I have enough to get Anni N

[lean mango]

I joined way too late for 2nd Anni and here I am

[tardy jolt]

I mean, reruns mean that we’ll probably see a select down the line, it’s just a matter of time. I’d personally wait for that rather than pulling for a unit that you’re already second guessing if it’s worth you waiting/skipping

[lean mango]

A select?

[tardy jolt]

A select for the MFs

[lean mango]

I doubt that, and hello local F2P user

[lament vale]

My priority is ||Jasmine|| and then one of the master fairs, probably Serena or Lillie

[lean mango]

Anything in the beginning of Dec is just skip at least

[tardy jolt]

I mean, I guess that’s an issue, although with the new deals saving even 10k paid gems will only cost around 12€ across 4 months. Selects will come, every kind of banner now has a paid alternative except for MF and they’ll be way more common now, Neo Champions and multiples of the same trainers all point in that direction

[lean mango]

If I ever do decide to spend on this game, I would rather soley save for seasonal selects, since I have favs in seasonals but just can't afford to spend my gems on

[tardy jolt]

Better save, then

[lean mango]

I'm tryin my best

Eusine has been delayed by 2 months

[lean mango]

[lean mango]

[lean mango]

Needing to keep every digit of gem

[tardy fiber]

I gonna spend 125 gems on pokemas day

[lean mango]

Still going to roll for a chance of Looker

[tardy fiber]

Roll for a chance of gordie, looker, melony, hugh, colress

[lean mango]

O Colress aswell

Thought he was limited for a second

[broken mulch]

Hmm from General pool I'm missing... Aaron, Looker, Gordie, Melony, Hugh, and Colress

[lean mango]

Looker for PoisonMax pls

I got Serena at least so lodge gonna be good for a week

[normal lotus]

How are the new units only look at a glance didnt see the christmas pair

[lean mango]

Eh none are favs so I don't care

[mental skiff]

Jasmine is cool tho

Atleast she doesnt have bad christmas design like orthers

looking intensify at leon

[lean mango]

at least it isn't another santa suit

[mental skiff]

[maiden kayak]

yea jasmine has refreshing look

[lean mango]

Please more Holiday outfits like Jasmine

[mental skiff]

I like jasmine since come to poma

The girl has good stuffs

3 support Jasmine tho

[broken mulch]

That's what she does best lol

Also Striker Steelix LMAO

[south scroll]

The only flaw Leon has is that he doesn't have elf ears

[mental skiff]

[normal lotus]

None of them are amazing?

They seem to be releasing proteon units cinderflare leon can chnage type too later

[south scroll]

The outfits this time are great

[normal lotus]

Yeah they look nice

[lean mango]

Yes they are stunning

[broken mulch]

So muh drip from all 4 new units indeed

[lean mango]

So this is where 3rd Anni went

[broken mulch]

Unfortunately the same couldn't be said for Fantina's EX

[mental skiff]

I prefer serena black and calem blue tho

[broken mulch]

That's their EX yeah haha

[mental skiff]

[normal lotus]

Am i wrong but is serena and calem just similiar in kit except buddy moves?

[robust plaza]

Would I have enough gems to pity 2 units?|| Should I pull for ss hilbert if he is a fave and if I’m considering neo calem for meta reasons?||

||Or maybe neo serena and calem||

[broken mulch]

You will only have enough to pity 1 unit

[robust plaza]

With next months gem count?

[reef river]

So that gem count only goes to the 25th?

[broken mulch]

Yes, december will only have 27,700 gems

You need 36,600 gems for pity

[robust plaza]

I have 58k free gems rn

[broken mulch]

Oh wait I only saw the lower number LMAO

Yeah you're fine

[mental skiff]

Fav > Meta

[robust plaza]

I loved hilbert and genesect in the story

[mental skiff]

You cant use a unit you dont like

Sawyer stay dust in my inventory

[robust plaza]

I’m ok on neo serena and calem

[mental skiff]

well up to you then

Btw MF 1% tho

[robust plaza]

||Maybe pull on ss hilbert and neo calem||

[mental skiff]

So higly likely pity

[robust plaza]

Neo serena seems mid

[orchid field]

Hi all, do we have an approximate gem count?

[mental skiff]

27700

[buoyant elk]

I'm trying to collect at least all master fairs, so i think Victini and Genesect will get the skip

[robust plaza]

Rn i only have 1 support candy with anni cyn and ss dawn to candy. Add on neo calem

[broken mulch]

MF's have horrible rates so you need to prepare two pities if you want both yeah

[mental skiff]

[broken mulch]

Unless you also want the 3 reruns

Which is scary math LMAO

[buoyant elk]

That's why I need to skip the current banners

[broken mulch]

210k gems?

Eesh

[maiden kayak]

skip and save

jan will be a bomb

[mental skiff]

👀chasing MF by

Alola VA

[broken mulch]

Oh

Huh

I misalculated

Only 183k gems if you want all 5 MF units

Guaranteed

[thorny pelican]

gosh that's a lot of gems

[mental skiff]

MF is overrated

[normal lotus]

Wait this isnt kalos Va

[broken mulch]

Nope

Johto VA

[normal lotus]

Thought it was

So still have time

[mental skiff]

what i do when i already had silver

[upbeat lotus]

free Johto tickets

time to fish for 3/5 Falkner

[mental skiff]

well chasing my first Lyra then

[maiden kayak]

whens the estimated time for NY datamine

really wanna skip serena

due to Ny

i dunno if i can last

[upbeat lotus]

the NY datamine come pretty early

iirc, last NY datamine happened on 22/12

[maiden kayak]

which day?

[mental skiff]

still late

[upbeat lotus]

i said 22/12

or 12/22

[maiden kayak]

not date

day

like what day of the week

[mental skiff]

[upbeat lotus]

lemme check the calender

it was Sunday

[maiden kayak]

Japan sunday?

[robust plaza]

Decided to go for a fave and it paid off

||Ss hilbert in one multi||

[maiden kayak]

ohh

[robust plaza]

Always save and wait for datamine

[tardy jolt]

So, are we thinking Kalos VA in January or February?

[tardy fiber]

I gonna skip, i am pretty sure i will regret if suddenly volcanion and shiny hoopa released on kalos VA

[normal lotus]

So are we guessing calem serena ss or diantha ss

On the va

[tardy fiber]

Ss calem is still on the table as this one is neo calem

[tardy jolt]

Diantha, Lysander and Sycamore prob

[normal lotus]

Along with the elite four

[reef river]

My guess is alola VA next since they JUST dropped these 2 kalos MFs

Kalos might be last

[tardy fiber]

Serena becomes the first character to have two different master passives

[normal lotus]

They have been doing it in order no?

[reef river]

Not exactly

[tardy jolt]

We had Summer Hilda and N, followed by SC Rosa before UnoVA

[normal lotus]

Lilie ss is in the table for va

[reef river]

Yeah but i cant imagine kalos va without ss serena/calem

[normal lotus]

Prob like hoen?

[reef river]

Would they give us 2 premium kalos protag alts in 2-3 months? Idk

[mental skiff]

Kalos surely next

[upbeat lotus]

i think Kalos is next, but will be delayed by a few months

[normal lotus]

Ahh

Wqs ghetsis always there

[mental skiff]

Next 2 shadow is lussamine and Guzma tho

[normal lotus]

So qlola next

Save

They dont want ex sycamore

[compact pasture]

Kalos might be the last one? Or Galar?

[mental skiff]

he will come eventually

Probably Galar last

[normal lotus]

Ss lussa is prob a thing with lilie will the protag even get ss suit for alola va

[mental skiff]

Havent had Rosé yet

[normal lotus]

I can see glad,lilie ans lussamine getting ss for the va and thats that

[upbeat lotus]

Lillie will get 4 alts with each island guardians for Alola VA

[mental skiff]

[normal lotus]

Hau can get tapu koko

Thats a possiblity

Like wally ss after

[maiden kayak]

olivia alt please

[mental skiff]

Hau is that possible

[normal lotus]

Son of kahuna

Blah blah blah

I mean grand son

[compact pasture]

I’m sure they’ll add the first trial captain with the Alola VA?

[normal lotus]

Isnt all trial captain here

[mental skiff]

I wait for masked royal get alt tho

[normal lotus]

He have one

[mental skiff]

[normal lotus]

The unmasked royal

[mental skiff]

i dont know what under his mask

[normal lotus]

Find the clues

[upbeat lotus]

i still prefer island kahunas with their island guardians

[normal lotus]

How many is that then 4 tapu with how many missing ultra beast

[sweet tide]

there is no RT rally

[cunning swan]

Hi gem zen

[tardy fiber]

Still missing nihilego, xurkitree, stakataka, blacephalon, guzzlord

[split thicket]

Kartana too.

[mental skiff]

Nihilego

[split thicket]

Guys, is :DenA ever gonna respond to our feedback? We've got 5/5 grids now and we haven't had enough for at least one pity since its introduction.

[mental skiff]

Dena: How about ?

[maiden kayak]

what about it

5/5 dont really matter anyways

almost all 5/5 tiles suck and unneceessary

[upbeat lotus]

and the only pair that want above 3/5 is SS N

[maiden kayak]

even then

he still sux lol

[tardy fiber]

Oh Tlim's stuffs haven't yet get pinned

Im happy that the new MF didn't have 5/5 grids

[reef river]

Same, but give it 2 years

[chrome nest]

Me a few hours ago: I won’t pull any of these new units I’m broke after N
My brain right now: 🙂 are you sure your skipping this could be a mistake

[tardy fiber]

Low amount of bp

[chrome nest]

This always happens

[tardy fiber]

My brain: these guys are rare kalos Master Fairs
Me: they are non-legendary frogs so not faves
My brain: silent

[chrome nest]

They suddenly made frogs master fairs

[tardy fiber]

Well they did made rats before

[grand bramble]

27k....are you SERIOUS!!!

[mental skiff]

No it is a joke

Gonna get 30k tho

Can always hope for a rally

[grand bramble]

it's a good amount btw

[mental skiff]

the more the merrier

[chrome nest]

I will barely able to get ss N

And then I declare debt

[mental skiff]

How many gems you have left?

[chrome nest]

125

I need 5 more singles

I should be able to scrape by

[mental skiff]

125k

Shouldnt complain

[grand bramble]

Actually... We finally have Leon rerun

Right

[mental skiff]

glad to skip christmas banner

[grand bramble]

Anyways... Who will be the last unit in late December

we're finish 2022 really quick....

[mental skiff]

Jasmine?

Probably she will be last new unit come out

[grand bramble]

Nah... There actually one more in late December... Which will be the last one this year

[mental skiff]

You mean after next datamine?

[chrome nest]

No

125 without K

Just hundred

[mental skiff]

probably another master fair like last year

[mental skiff]

[grand bramble]

Uhhhh

I.... I...

you must be very proud... I hope

[chrome nest]

I’m not

[mental skiff]

come to this month with 125 gems is... cant imagine

[chrome nest]

N was playing his tricks

[grand bramble]

This total gem count.... You will get 27k back...

[chrome nest]

Good news unity gala is gonna come

[grand bramble]

About the 2021 units... Don't worry... They will stay up till February 2023

[mental skiff]

Oh just realized we dont have spotlight this month

[chrome nest]

Don’t worry the greninjas will be gone

Imagine pulling a frogs

When you can be broke

[mental skiff]

glad i only pull for ash greninja

[grand bramble]

I think you have to skip them.... but of course... Greninja isnt in your list

[chrome nest]

I’ll pull if it’s shiny ash greninja

[mental skiff]

But doubt he will come

[grand bramble]

Huh

[mental skiff]

[grand bramble]

No way...

Keep dreaming

[mental skiff]

still doing it everyday

[chrome nest]

Dream the impossible to save

That’s how I did it

[mental skiff]

[chrome nest]

Once you have a good amount of gems

Dream the possible

[mental skiff]

my fav is 5/10 impossible pair to come to poma so in no fear

[mental skiff]

so wise

[chrome nest]

Imagine my rage when I got ss N the single before pity

[broken mulch]

Dream the possible beat the beatable

ROW ROW FIGHT THE WEAK

[mental skiff]

it is pity but you get 2/5 that is good

[chrome nest]

I seek revenge

[grand bramble]

Lemme calculate my total gems.... 52k + 27k = 79k....2 pity!!!

[chrome nest]

The unity gala shall fall

[chrome nest]

N confirmed troll

[grand bramble]

Yeah.. I will be skipping the new Christmas pairs

[chrome nest]

I’m obligated to skip new units now

Or else I die

Only until Christmas? The gem count

[grand bramble]

Yes

The next datamine will be very early... You know why

[mental skiff]

Dont christmas is on 25th that is like 2 day early not that much

besides, that mean the gems count isnt 27700 before datamine

[chrome nest]

I feel superstitious on special days like Christmas

If you know what I mean you know what I mean

[mental skiff]

[chrome nest]

Either my superstition works

Or I fail miserably

[reef river]

We are definitely entering FEH weapon skill description territory with the master fair skill descriptions

[worthy willow]

Guys is spending 6k gems a bit too much on a featured banner character with 2.0% pull rate?

[chrome nest]

It’s a bad idea

[hard wave]

Which gem count is accurate?

[chrome nest]

To cope with me being broke I’ll main greninja in unite

[orchid field]

We have a Twitter rally?

[upbeat lotus]

no

[sand kestrel]

Is it 27k or 32k then

[timber wren]

they’re both accurate, the one pinned only counts thru 25dec (we will likely get the next update around then)

[tawny dagger]

It's till 30th December

[compact pasture]

The masterfairs?

[broken mulch]

The 2nd Annie units yes

[maiden kayak]

might be earlier

[drifting dagger]

YO

Gem count is amazing

[willow pollen]

How many we getting?

[drifting dagger]

Almost 28k

27910 in total

[timber wren]

yeah i think the last two years it arrived around the 21st

[drifting dagger]

Oh ye

Won't next update be earlier than usual ?

[upbeat lotus]

thats right

[rotund sleet]

77k at the end of next month. probably going to skip everything unless next datamine is completely dry

[upbeat lotus]

i will have a pity at the end of December

[rotund sleet]

u gonna use it?

[upbeat lotus]

im saving a pity for the quad Palentine rerun banner, and a pity for Lodge banner

im having some of wanted limiteds as well

[rotund sleet]

same i’m keeping a pity in hand for palentines

and for a redlax rerun

[drifting dagger]

Did a quick calculation, I should get to 253.555 at the end of december

Not to count that next update might come earlier, so it could be more

[tawny cedar]

MY TIME HAS COME

SS CALEM AND SS JASMINE

[broken mulch]

To be accurate, neither are Sygna suits

[rotund sleet]

jasmine’s beret is cute

[broken mulch]

Calem is a new class of trainers called Champion while Jasmine is winter seasonal

[tawny cedar]

I'm gonna get jasmine and calem

Select whitney on first select

How long does calem stay anyways?

[upbeat lotus]

5 weeks

[tawny cedar]

Hmmmm

[reef river]

Till jan 9th

[tawny cedar]

And jasmine?

[reef river]

Jan 1st

Presumably NY units start on jan 1st

[tawny cedar]

Alright then WJasmine>CCalem>WWhitney

[willow pollen]

I know why Jasmine is a pull but what makes Whitney special?

[tawny cedar]

I like whitney

Also I'm a johtomaxer

[broken mulch]

Whitney has a hilarious TM

[tawny cedar]

Rnjesus better give me calem on 1st multi

Cuz i got this

[thorny pelican]

Kay lum

more like

Kay, Luhm's got this

So we can just save our gems and not need to interrupt mr. Luhm

[willow pollen]

I want KayLum. But after seeing how ridiculously annoying they made his kit to function without SirEna. I am not so sure I want KayLum.

[chrome nest]

Imagine pulling next month

I’m in severe debt

[compact pasture]

Who's Lum?

[tardy jolt]

I may be in the minority, but I like synergies between units

[broken mulch]

Synergy is one thing

Being crippled if their girlfriend isn’t in the team is another lol

Like Anime and SS Brendan have great Synergy without really needing each other

[compact pasture]

I think we should move to a different channel?

[upbeat lotus]

Why is shiro's gem count different from tlim's and jass'? I know shiro counts until 30/12 but the gems are a lot higher than both gem count here

[ashen thunder]

I am gonna wait till last day and see which greninja is more meta to roll for
Coz I only need one

[tawny cedar]

I'm getting calem regardless

I'm not pulling serena tho

WWhitneg And WJasmine are better to pull

[willow pollen]

I want WWhitney. I need jasmine

[tawny cedar]

WWhitney is wait for datamine

Serena is skip

Do we have gem calcs up yet

[ashen thunder]

It's atleast 27k gems

Different people say different amounts

[mental skiff]

1% yolo might need to rethink

[chrome nest]

Don’t yolo

[ashen thunder]

But minimum seems 27k

[tawny cedar]

Oh yeah

[chrome nest]

Believe me it doesn’t end well

[tawny cedar]

Hmmm

I'll get jasmine first anways

Anything else gets dumped into calem

Cuz i love calem

[chrome nest]

Wait for rerun

[mental skiff]

1% = 4 star and it took me 100 day to get Bruno

[tawny cedar]

Bro that takes too long

I can't wait for calem to rerun,i love him a lot

[chrome nest]

I waited for maxie

[mental skiff]

well you can get shaft tho

[ashen thunder]

If you are F2P you roll first banner

[chrome nest]

If I waited for ground lizard so can you for black ninja

[mental skiff]

Better think for future

[ashen thunder]

Coz chances are the rerun is select

Nobody is waiting another year to get a seasonal of all things especially when pity is available

[tawny cedar]

I can select wwhitney

CCalem and WJasmine are must pulls

[mental skiff]

i waited almost a year for a seasonal

[chrome nest]

Me who is broke after I get N

[ashen thunder]

It's 2 dead patches already for me
Gimme smth good

[chrome nest]

I’m gonna wish all of you good luck

[ashen thunder]

I wish I had enuff pity for firis and SC Rosa

Now I see 2 dead patches

[tawny cedar]

This is my good luck charm for calem

It better work

[chrome nest]

I really want to yolo 3K gems on Christmas

[tawny cedar]

I'm going all in

[mental skiff]

i can hope i can get Jasmine with low cost i dont want to pity but i still want her

[tawny cedar]

WJasmine And CCalem Are Mega True Faves

After this I'll save for summer

[chrome nest]

There’s always a fork on the road I guarantee

[tawny cedar]

What

[compact pasture]

You'll probably end up spending more?

[chrome nest]

No it’s a metaphor or whatever it’s called for an obstacle

When you spend your first gems it’s hard to get out of that mentality

Of spending more

[tawny cedar]

True

My brain keeps making me want to pull after i got ssjohtrio

Ok I'll get WJasmine and leave

Wait for calem rerun and select whitney

[chrome nest]

I know it’s a bad idea

But I’m superstitious

[mental skiff]

hey i just think what if i want a unit but i only limited myself to spend certain amout of gems and stop does that consider bad?

[ashen thunder]

It's either you roll till pity or you get em before pity

No reason to roll less than pity and stop when you don't get the featured stuff

[mental skiff]

But i want that unit but i dont want to get pity :v

[compact pasture]

But sometimes, pity is necessary

[ashen thunder]

Why would you even roll without pity?

Sounds like a dumb decision

[mental skiff]

I have pity but if i roll it will go bellow pity and it is not good for next month

[compact pasture]

But we're getting more gems?

[ashen thunder]

You do know that most stuff stay till next datamine right?

[mental skiff]

So i limited myself to roll for that but only certain amount not all the way

[ashen thunder]

Why would you roll before seeing datamine

If you are that worried abt next patch

[mental skiff]

I just ask in theory

:v if i have like enough for only 1 pity and like certain amount of gems

[ashen thunder]

Then just wait till last day of banner

And then roll based on future info

[mental skiff]

👀yeah that is the plan

But cant roll all they way till pity because i know i will need pity on palentine

[tawny cedar]

Wait

I could just skip both winter seasonald and guarantee calem perhaps

If first week of Jan has 9k gema

Can't wait for datamine to confirm tho since jasmine leaves before then

[mental skiff]

[ashen thunder]

I would say calem is more gameplay relevant than Jasmine if you only roll one of em

[mental skiff]

Boi oh boi

Who care about gameplay

[ashen thunder]

But you say you would use select on Whitney so

I mean

He likes both

[mental skiff]

[tawny cedar]

Its getting jasmine,the bigger fave or calem,the one i could guarantee

[ashen thunder]

Just wait till last day for both

No reason to gamble day 1

[tawny cedar]

Jasmine leaves before datamine

So i could end up getting neither if first week of Jan doesnt have 9k

[ashen thunder]

There's no NY info yet

[mental skiff]

first get jasmine because she is 2% if you lucky and has enough for pity calem then go for him

[ashen thunder]

So datamine will be bit early

[tawny cedar]

Hopefully before jasmine leaves

[ashen thunder]

And it's still better to wait till last day anyways

[mental skiff]

On 22/12?

[tawny cedar]

How much gems do we usually get in first 10 days of Jan?

[mental skiff]

So the gems count calc pass that point or stop at that?

[ashen thunder]

I know NY is a big gem dump

[mental skiff]

Why

[ashen thunder]

Like last year I remember like lot of 3k gem stuff

Oh I mean this year

[tawny cedar]

If datamine doesn't come before jasmine leaves I'll prob coinflip

[mental skiff]

When will she come and leave?

[ashen thunder]

Last year datamine was on 21st

I'd rly recommend to wait before rolling anything this patch

[mental skiff]

hope so

[ashen thunder]

Also day 1 rolling never worth coz that's when you realise you got carried by fomo or get disappointed with unit kit

Even if you have big stash it's far better to wait atleast a week

[mental skiff]

Fomo?

[ashen thunder]

And see around

Feeling of missing out

[mental skiff]

might be true

[tawny cedar]

I have huge fomo for calem

Jasmine atleast will rerun within a year

Calem might take 2.

[maiden kayak]

wtf

you are not supposed to talk about here

its because of this u keep failing to save

[chrome nest]

I tried to warn him

[maiden kayak]

like bruh

[chrome nest]

pulling a greninja unit
using greninja in unite

[ashen thunder]

Smh palki

I just want greninja

Don't care which one

Not installing unite for that tho

[chrome nest]

It’s my way of coping because I’m low on gems

[tawny cedar]

Alright then I'll skip both winter Alts to guarantee calem

[chrome nest]

There’s only 27K gems

How many gems you have rn

[tawny cedar]

He stays for 10 more days in jan

[tawny cedar]

Idk i dont got my phone rn

It's locked in a cupboard

[chrome nest]

Oh wow

[tawny cedar]

My mom want that 24/7 no break asian study life

[lean mango]

At least spoiler this

[tawny cedar]

I'll rather delete it

Since Ive decided to skip everything but calem

[lean mango]

Thank you

[chrome nest]

I have announced that I will skip everything next month

[mental skiff]

My list become supa specific tho so i wont fear anything

[chrome nest]

So I don’t become broke again

[mental skiff]

I just have to get 2 pity for palentine and summer and Kris wont re run till next year

[tawny cedar]

Let's hope we get no more johto so i can start reducing this fave list

[mental skiff]

too much re run tho i think you cant reach 2nd pity

[nocturne spade]

Goofy ahh handwriting

[tawny cedar]

Ik ik

But best i could do i kick out xbold

[unborn pier]

XBold and Diantha are the only ones I’d guess could rerun soon

CCalem and WJasmine on that list is dangerous though

[mental skiff]

you can remove few like me tho focus on like top 5 only

I gave up Christmas Rosa and New year Lilie

[sweet tide]

updated!

[mental skiff]

[unborn pier]

Nice

[mental skiff]

ahhhhh better than i expected for a third time

[unborn pier]

27k without 2nd anni events is really good

[mental skiff]

It is 27910

so it is 28k because i will get log in gems

oh no i wont get log in gems

[sweet tide]

2nd anni events gives 3.4k so technically if we count till mth end its 31k

[mental skiff]

[sweet tide]

but jan updates are always early

bc dena closes their offices in the last wk of december

which is why jass and i brought forward the cut off date

[unborn pier]

neat

[mental skiff]

hope they Dena dont count that and give good amount of gems for Ny

[sweet tide]

hopefully they keep the Ny bonuses from last yr

if they do then it'll be great

if they dont..lmao

rip to 2nd pity

[mental skiff]

[lean mango]

The anni units run for the entirety of Jan

[unborn pier]

||I haven’t been able to save yet but I should be able to pity Anni N||

[mental skiff]

quite distracting tho

Do we have event summary yet?

[lean mango]

But that reminds one that there is no reason to rush that they're there for another month

[tawny cedar]

But there is more than 5 johto...

Maybe top 7?

Could that work?

[mental skiff]

i wont pull for lilie but she there make me sad for not have more lilie tho

[mental skiff]

must give up something

[tawny cedar]

I can't give up johtomax

[mental skiff]

you know chasing a rerun is harder than chasing MF because their chance might go bellow 1%

hope lady luck by your side

[maiden kayak]

this is probably the best option

u not in the right mind to play the game rn

too many temptations

[tawny cedar]

Yeah

But it's obstructing me from other things,like i haven't talked to my friend in 4 months

24/7 study life sucks

[honest fulcrum]

Damn only 27k this month?

This month is quite heavy though, hmm

It's a skip month for me though, i need to recuperate before Hisui comes to the game tbh

[nocturne spade]

Only lol 27k is higher than usual

[honest fulcrum]

i know im just greedy

I was thinking that last dec was more than this but no that was jan and feb of 2022 which were decked out

[sweet tide]

V2.15 (December 2021) 27540 + 2540BP
around the same tbh

[nocturne spade]

Including any gifts or rally twitter stuff that they haven’t announced yet well prob get 30k+

[sweet tide]

cos dec is a short month

[sweet tide]

they already announced the RT rally. gems are not given. its only for residents in japan

[lofty relic]

sorry chat i failed, this has to be postponed

well at least i made it to 60k

[timber wren]

one of the units you were saving for showed up and you have enough to pity, that’s a W

[mental skiff]

bruh why only for jp

angry noise

[sweet tide]

cos its a poster...lol

[mental skiff]

[mint pike]

Does anyone know the gem count for next month?

[wind nymph]

31,870

[mint pike]

Oh sweeet...not bad...

Gonna have about 60k+

[mental skiff]

only 27910 till datamine

[tawny cedar]

I still mad i can't get WJasmine

[lofty relic]

#1012256199128915968 has all the community breakdowns

from Shiro, Jass and Tlim, they have different formats

[tawny cedar]

I'm praying for 1st multi calem

But if i gotta pity,i gotta pity.

[mint pike]

Is Calem really worth it?

I have almost enough gems for a full pity (need to update my gem count)

Or do I just skip and save

[lofty relic]

We don't really discuss worth for datamined pairs here

this is a thread for saving, so everyone by default is gonna tell you no unless it's a massive fav

[tawny cedar]

He is for me

[mint pike]

Oh okay gotcha, sorry about that.

[lofty relic]

np

[mint pike]

I usually think long term meta ^^;

[signal halo]

I didn't even know calem had EX

[drowsy saddle]

Yo, Calem is in this game?

[mental skiff]

cant wait for the events

[mint pike]

Maybe one day...Miror B will come in and I'll save...

[mental skiff]

Rika is Mina?

[maiden kayak]

no

actually

he should censor that name

[round mason]

oops

[mental skiff]

[round mason]

i'll just-

[mental skiff]

What with that :v

[maiden kayak]

nothing

[timber wren]

yeah keep it to #1030876643331408003 for now

[mental skiff]

[round mason]

sorry

[timber wren]

all good

[reef river]

Is there a paid select scout this month?

[lofty relic]

yes check #1012256199128915968

visual timeline & timers for banners

[reef river]

I cant view that channel it seems

[lofty relic]

huh? that's weird, it doesn't require any permissions

just go in #1006331343300473022

[drowsy saddle]

Update your app?

[reef river]

Ah ok so its later this week. This is probably just gonna be a 3k paid for any spotlight right?

[lofty relic]

correct

[reef river]

Alright. I'll have some decisions to make. Thanks

I wonder if it will have melony or if thats too soon

[tight bison]

It's not a sygna suit, but my dream is finally real

I can die in peace now

[lament hornet]

either i'm blind or i don't see the select in the december infographic

[lofty relic]

https://i.imgur.com/gYqroia.png

Dec 2

[lament hornet]

is it not like the same select scout we had this month

the little banner suggests so

[reef river]

The one from last week was a type select scout related to the legendary gauntlet

[lofty relic]

it's your usual spotlight select with all gen pool

[reef river]

Probably wont have hugh and colress

[lament hornet]

i meant the one from 2nd november

so yeah it's the same

i misread earlier my bad lmao

thought christmas units had a select somewhere

[reef river]

It presumably will have a couple of the slightly newer spotlights like melony and gordie

[lunar topaz]

Omg

I think I can get all 3 of my favs this month

So long as there’s a copium twitter rally

[thorny pelican]

What are the 3 faves?

[junior trout]

guessing serena calem jasmine

[lunar topaz]

Correct

My current priority for them is Jasmine>Serena>Calem I like Serena and Calem more than jasmine however their Pokémon have made me lower their priority over her

I fully expect to have to pity after being a bit to lucky last month with other favs

[thorny pelican]

I think discussing your strategy to obtain each sync pair is an appropriate topic as you're trying to plan out how you're trying to precisely utilize your resources, and therefore would be valuable to others who are trying to deduce how they should be using their Gems for high-frequency, high-value banners like what we're about to encounter

[lunar topaz]

Oh I see I was just trying to be safe 🦑

[crimson nebula]

for me its jasmine/calem/serena. i think i might be able to just get jasmine from tiereds but idk what my economic situation is going to be 3 weeks from now

[thorny pelican]

There's also the fact that Serena and Calem will have a longer run, right?

[lunar topaz]

Ye they do

[crimson nebula]

when do they leave

[lunar topaz]

The 2-9th of January

[thorny pelican]

so you can really gauge that if you need to pity for Jasmine, at least you can optimally pursue the month's coming income to offset the compensation needed for the other banners

[reef river]

Its likely from the start to end of calem/serena we will get a full 36.6k

[lunar topaz]

I might be able to pity all 3 however I might also maintain my second pity rule if I can get 3 pities by January

But I’m very weak when it comes to seeing favs lel

[thorny pelican]

Well if anything can be gathered from this datamine, it's that it gives an air of confidence that DeNA is going to re-run Master Fairs more often now

[lunar topaz]

But Jan datamine will be out by then so I’ll be able to see if I should save or I can go back after him
