#Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)
1 messages · Page 25 of 1
Dojo gloria is definitely a unit i think a lot of people at least kind of wanted, but was sandwiched inbetween 2 huge sets of good units they wanted more (johto and anni)
yeah its unfortunate
can't afford her after the Johto MF and right before Hoenn VA (also can't afford) and 3rd anni
so i resort to select scout instead
that was the roughest stretch we ever been in
and I expect it will be the same next June
yeah
I'd love if mcs, Lana, Mallow and Kiawe got something and not just Aether or Skull but we will see
Hope kalos VA doesn't have many faves, because pretty sure alola VA will cost me alot especially when UBs are also alola and plenty of their legendaries are still roaming around...tapus 
Oh zeraora also during alola gen iirc
for Alola VA, all I want is a Hau alt
Unless we get shinies we only have volcanion
hoping for a pairing of Hau and Tapu Koko
Hapu alt would be nice indeed
yeah
but frick, we might get more Lillie alts as usual
if we do, at least give her Magearna
black hair Lusamine and Nihilego
Nice, inteleon
Hope ny select scouts have either djgloria/sskorrina/falliris...i need their dupes
Why not candy?
don't think Fall Iris will be included
but yeah I want DJ Gloria and SS May
If you have the sync pairs, you should just candy them instead. Gems are more valuable.
They should be used towards another fav you want instead of just pulling for dupes of old ones.
or some other op meta unit you don't have to help fill the roster spot for those who are willing to spend
its a powerful select scout, might as well make good use of it
Vantner has like dozens of faves all needing candy, and also has all of them currently
Because too many faves to candy
So i grab the chance for dupes
52 faves and increasing 
fair point
though unless you want to candy all your fav
some units are worth candying that the others
Vantner candied BP Master fairs
I gonna make 3/5 all faves as goal
Gonna 2/5 cobalion soon as rainbow ticket almost form 
Then only left Mesprit
They take so long 
Yep around 4 month, well if you buy bp bundle can shorten it to 2 months plus
Talking about him, if he is not 3/5 better just use ghetsis...even more damage
He need 3/5 to compete
Due to ramming speed
More sync nuke all lock at 3/5
Even the cold snap
But i dislike to pair him with anniN because 3/5 anniN confirm paralyze opponent...seem to cannot freeze if already paralyze
Eh
SsN
Not anniN
Luckily ghetsis have paralysis synergy grid
Thats why i already toss his cold snap
Ice zone will help hleon alot
Because he can be freeze sync nuke build, so doesn't need hail unit
Can just put ice zone
yep
just going to be patient about it
hopfully it falls into fav category for both of us
Not sure how many ice faves left, regice/articuno
I need to recheck
Iron bundle
Glastrier
Chien pao or something
It’d be nice if Ice (and Rock) Zone units also had Hail (and Sand)
Getting close to saving 1 pity’s worth! 
Being skip month, i didn't gather enough 200
for monthly conversion 
But i rather my master day pull to give me more
than 
Also had to use 40
for shiny porygon and starmie
I underestimated porygon, it does deal a hefty damage due to have cs4
That wouldn’t cause eos lol, they’d just release the new console
What if there was no new console at all
To be a great gem saver, you will have to play the game and collect gems every single day without any rest to give yourself the best chance at your targeted sync pair
and reaching your saving goals
I like to be chill with my gem saving, I got life stuff to do so if I can't get some gems oh well
I just save when there's no fave and pull when have fave
But yep i didn't miss gems, well im prepared to miss some EBE gems if it requires me to EX non fave or pull non fave
and don't gaslight yourself into needing stuff like Highlander
Lose 300 gems better than 36k gems
i will actually EX for EB, unless I really don't like the character
Yep, like my faves still didn't have good coverage for certain typing but i will just offtype with faves for it and not gonna pull a meta non fave unit
Because pretty sure i will not use them in the future when a fave release that cover same typing
for EBE, I'm too much of a completionist and a competitive "I took it personally" mentality that I'm willing to risk a pity if it what it takes to complete it
Like i used to clear poison and rock offtype but now with diancie and naganadel, i can finally ontype
if i can't complete it with the roster i have
luckily, I have not run into such problem
Would be a different case if clearing EBE gives event badge but luckily they didn't resort to that
oh yeah the badge is also a factor as well
After event ends, any trace of you failing or completing it gone
i pity for Gloria to get to the top of the Presteige event
And people would not even know if you didn't talk about it or send screenshot 
it all depends, I still remember missing out on BP points on the day SS Serena came
cause i was very distracted
which cause me to pity for SS Serena as well
I never forget my failures
You never forget your pities, fave or not
I just want the characters I like, simple as that, got my gems prepared ready to get em
everyone have their level of saving mentality
I missed out on bp a lot because i scared senseless of csmm and cannot clear region battle hardest difficulty for few days because i didn't read certain regions got boosted 
yeah that is unfortunate, but we all learn from our mistakes and never look back
making the first mistake is alright, you use it for motivation, 2nd time, you gotta keep pushing it, anything more than that in a row you not even trying
I want to 3/5 Mesprit tbh
I gonna complete it first before Mesprit because it is a staple for my scdiantha+scguzma team
I rarely use mesprit
I use Cobalion most of the BPs
Yep i gonna 3/5 coba first because his usage
Although mesprit the one that need more help
But ssdawn exist
I use ssdawn more than mesprit
I wish they would give them EX
Watch them add a new master bp pair for ny or half anni 
well at least i have 1 rainbow tickets
then i have no motivation to tackle the easier stages to get rid of the red !
I like bp master pairs, they are confirmed support...plus i only have 5 faves supports that can be
so in this case these units are good especially when i pair them with other faves that can benefit by syncing first like zerena or lussamine or sssteven and other mega units
So while using those units, i doesn't even need support EX
So bp masters can get into play
Like regirock, always clear rock weak for me with schilda and schilda need to sync first so no issue 
I think if you open the stage and exit, the ❗goes away

it never go away
new event?
Latios missions
I hate latias more than latios
gems gems 
beat the gems out of latios
Entei mission is over???
4.3k gems pog
Not yet
Pityless Gachas were the worst
I was wondering
This week made me second guess Giovanni's ability to pull off psychic regardless of stage, mainly because I feel I don't have a perfect teammate for him
Is there a pair that falls perfectly on Giovanni's shoes?
And gives him two of psychic terrain, spatk buffs or spdef debuffs?
Bianca? Lucian?
rosa, bianca and giovani
Which Rosa?
Ex Rosa normal
Does Rosa even get mpr on spatk all at 1/5?
No but +4 isnt enough? 👀
Eh, I'm unsure
Giovani kill wallace even before sync 
the difference between +4 and +6 spatk isnt too big
and yeah he can clear ontype with just +4 spatk and no spdef debuff
I pair him with ssbrendan and annimay 
Although ssbrendan can only +4 spatk but annimay have x spatk all 
Now that i know that psystrike deal physical damage, im set for both wise entryx2 and sentry entryx2 psychic weak.
Kinda sad before because sssteven zen headbutt dps feels so little
Just run grand entry on gio
Gio,Lucian, Bianca 
If you have ssbrendan, you just fish for mpr anyways
Sc Jasmine is perfect
She buff all so he just have to atk
Make sure on a roll activate 6 time 
But i love my cs2 
Pair scjasmine with scrosa, scrosa can drop enemy spdef 
Not like she use any mp gauge due to sweet scent twofer
Sc Jasmine can also drop sp def
Perfect being
My scjasmine didn't have that grid because i use sentry entry 2 lucky skill on her and get vigilance so something had to be sacrificed 
Well at least now she's tanky from all damage sources
why people always slap sentry entry on her...she is made for special stage tho
A random rock slide wont hurt her much anymore
eww rock slide problem
Because her def is low and sentry entry 2 can bump her def to near 300 
I am quite certain a random rockslide still won't hurt SCjasmine
Considering its still above average defenses
Still low

Why?
Quite sure of that
Why not?
If a 250+ def unit suffers
A 190ish def unit gets shredded
Well that 190 def aint tanking unless eggmon
I rather put sentry entry 2 and doesn't need to worry about those stuffs
Now she works well
Can even tank zen headbutt and stuffs
Wood hammer from bulu
I just put vigil so I don't have to pick that in grid 
I have better supports for physical heavy opponent anyways
Since def is like most common buff from a support
I just pick vigilance and teach her rock damage reduce skill... No more worry about rock slide

I like to use faves for stuffs so my good physical defense support are just hop, ssmorty, evelyn, cobalion
Will be dead when hit by flare blitz then
Or wild charge
Latios, Xerneas, Cresselia, Melsprit not fav

I doubt Jasmine can survive the next hit anyways even if she survived the first fb somehow

They are special defense support...please read the sentences 
Yep if you 3/5 and get it on grid
Smh
I will grid it in the future
Hope xerneas power boost have sentry entry 2 or something

Would be good for my villa tanking
Also more likely to happen than team sharp entry

Focus group 3, headstart 9 , adrenaline 9 and team toughen up 6
Thx
I ain't asking much
Seeing ghetsis power boost, I don't expect much for xerneas
Eos declare after that
I just keep my expectations low
Still nice tho
I knew ghetsis powerboost gonna be just gauge
Synchro healing would be nice so i can toss recuperation from sycamore
Coz his nuke and dps were already decent pre buff
I just need that bit of survivability to boost sycamore survivability before he sync, and if its just that, i already be happy...well i already a lot thankful just with the support

Free legendary support
, what is there to hate...give me more DeNa
although even with grid, ex i dont think i will use sycamore
Well post ex I am throwing sycamore into my Lear team
I get this feeling that sycamore role gets changed to tech
Buffing through sync doesn't rly have much usage in CS anyways
I gonna throw him to my fairy team, with his non existence fairy teammates
I hate my fairy team 
Where magearna and enamorus 
i love my fairy team
Mina and Black Butler Wally and Lodge lillie
let's goooo
True, i hope got at least a zone or rebuff on my upcoming fairy fave...like i skip bug zone due to accelgor is not fave...but sshilbert give my lusamine wings...just bug rebuff and spam metal sound...i can even build sync nuke lusamine
As his metal sound got ripple
So lusamine sync go brrr
Escavalier already hits super hard without bugzone so accelgor was ez skip
datamine tomorrow to know
Tho I might consider bugzone incase I need more offtype comps for CS
Since my roster lacks on physical dps
I not gonna put any hope, kinda sus that they already leak anni 2021 MF rerun which is the late December event... well i still hope im wrong and datamine really tomorrow
I hope DeNa release one of these faves...poison/dark/fairy/electric
Those types are in dire need of faves
Well normal is kinda but nothing weak to normal anyway
Electric has zekrom
Yep if i got another poison fave, i can make my falliris assist build with just job of spamming zone and acid to lower def
Yep but elec weak in sinnoh cs got sentryx2...i want special elec fave
Oh well I guess no tapus for terrain yet I guess
Xurkitree or something
Just bruteforce with zekrom
Pikachu is legendary tho
Well, i did bruteforce it using sshilbert 
Light ball pikachu
Elec rebuff is nice
Clearly legendary
Lv 88 tho so bulky by nature 
I like his kit, hope tapu koko have at least half of his stuffs
If terrain units are mostly techs, tapus release will cost me 8 tech candies 
tapu soon tho due to alola VA next
Good thing all my relevant units are candied to 3/5 
This further cemented that I ain't gonna candy to 4-5/5
dunno why you guy has so many candy
Too much candy needed
I guess I can consider 5/5 zekrom and duraldon if strikers aren't spectacular next year
I actually don't
I played almost 250 days and only has 5 each
I just roll once every 2 months

It's enuff time to get the candies
To instantly 3/5 a pair on release
I bought the coin bundle twice...well i also pull for dupes via select scout if my faves in it is still not yet 3/5
Most my limited are strikers
Thank God they are complete units at 1/5 itself
Unlike techs
i about to give candy to Gloria
Well dont let peer pressure stresses you...just work towards your goal in your own pace and preferences like people said no need to 3/5 annisteven and annilillie because not worth it...i still use it on them to make them more usable
Oh Gloria...i got 3 of her during multi so i didn't use my candies
if i follow my heart i might give all candy to marnie 5/5 but i still use logic so....
But better hold on for candying now, maybe got free stuff like anime ticket before for new year
Gonna wait for that datamine first
5/5 Marnie is worth 
Yes 
The content powerlevel suk anyways
Rainbow frame tho
who care for meta
It is all about the frame

Be proud owner of best Marnie in game
I mean
Nobody "needs" candy
I cant ignore them at least they come to me willingly so i have duty to candy them up

I have a believe that every unit come to me mean destiny and i have to update them
at least to full protential
Similar reason like why im candying bp master units 🤝

ignore
Can't candy for like a couple months 
Another day of no datamine, tomorrow it is, then 
After I do that I'll get my 5/5 FIris 
I'll 5/5 my zekrom one day
People said bp master units bad, then i said good, then they say mine is 3/5 that's why they are good...so why people doesn't candy them like me? 
Even at base they're decent what are they on 
will 5/5 all marnie one day... Current goal, get all marnie
Probably be less sux when customizations arrive 
Can't wait for customization
Same but I'll switch to Scottie
I sticked to Bettie cause I like her design way more than Scottie's 
What customize? 

I do hope they don't pull the main games when it comes to male hair customization
But still kinda sad though, not like we can put MC pairs here...so our friends cannot even see our customized MC in friend profile
God the lack of variety in SWSH made me
, didn't even my hairstyle
Yeah what is the point of that

They'll give 2 profile images 
I just want a clown costume
So that it pairs well with my lisia spamming defog
In co op
The only way they can see abit if use MC during Co-op
I liked the fave profile, show off my Glacia 
At least can put Evelyn and Nita in there, they are build different although same bp master units 
Gear farming
Hope we can have something when fav is put there tho
Pokemas day co-op 
coop.... I just let people do their stuff and i claim reward

A boss take week to kill
Like a rally
I keep hoping they’ll input Raids lol
Introduce guild system and we will have a bunch of MC Scotties and Betties, what are they afraid for...just use multiverses as reason or blame on hoopa again 
Although i dunno what raid boss can do to stand a chance with new wave of unit tho
Just put any bosses and just put the hp bar x100 and each members can only use 3 teams
Easy
people will do 99k damage each turn
Might need 10000000 hp bar
Just put sentry and wise extry x6
You meant 3 units right?
Coz imagine
Allowing 3 teams

Well legendary arena missions allow 3 teams so they probably can keep that
Well I guess it helps people without the modern units
Well almost every gacha game with raid has that problem so 
Well thats why guild is important, if a person can only clear 3 hp bar of raid boss...other member can clear 7...over time all 100 hp bar will be depleted, thats how raid in gacha games usually is
You are underestimating raid system
Coz it will just be a cluster of whales in same guild
still better than me with all eggmon
They contribute not that much
Well as long as there's no ranking system or leaderboard it will just be a casual mode
Basically prestige but with other people
better
unless they put gems on high ladder i think all will be fine
Like raid battle in pokemon go, 20 people that kill it in 30 seconds and 3 people that kill it in 90 seconds get the same stuffs
Then imma take 1 hour to do 1 run
Because people hate prestige and they got bad rep for it
Tbf prestige wasn't rly that bad
It was better than the shit I went through in other gachas

Prestige will divide pokemon community tho
Any difference in rewards from top percentage of players and to majority of other players that are positioned will prompte bad vibes
Thats when people start to consider meta and guild invites based on power level
70% of players don't even do lg 10 streak 
So I am quite certain the complaints are from the usual doomers
imagine 300 gems to finish raid with perfect score.... count me in
Yep so does that answer your question on why want to do raid without leaderboard?
unmn LG doesnt have gems
I mean, the raid without leaderboard and just clear reward in the end is just gonna be another BV like content that gets worse as it ages
Yep but when raid boss clears got rankings and leaderboard and different rewards...thats when it will promote bad vibes with meta and power level
If they reward average stuff many people don't even do it
Like LG
And whale dominating leaderboards
Im curious, is the winter rerun banner do well on the market?
ok i learned a lesson lose all money i collect for month on winter banner
and datamine will come tomorrow to punish me
Yes i did that.... ||Nessa/Rosa on my list in the past|| and i got nothing.
I think i have gambling problem... i deserve it tho
i wont check event datamine tomorrow and focus only on saving gems for pal marnie
Updated scout list
Summer rerun with 6 rate ups 
68,565 gems and growing 
Pretty sure can
As January might have more gems and February is a run up to anniv month so even more gems
Provided that you skip others
How am I doing after 9 days of saving?
Yeah
Nice 
Its sad but i will spend soon 
I always spend 125 gems on poma day
Gonna chip my savings a bit

Hopefully next VA is Alola VA so that I can further "gradual regen" my gems
I think i got over gambling phase happened since i had to pity Cynthia
Had to do, 0/5 looker, gordie, melony, colress, hugh...2/5 aaron, 1/5 lucian, 1/5 courtney, 2/5 burgh...as long that i have some not 3/5 general pool, i will pull poma day scouts

good luck

Bye guys i will come back here on next feb datamine
I thought you want to update daily gem count
So why leaving
I think i want to avoid datamine stuffs
Well hide #datamines
i deleted poce channel from youtube
Just keep datamine summary for easier gem count
Oh wait
You can check via bot zone
Now that #poma-lounge exists, it will be busy there after datamine
So might need away from that for a certain period
Oh right, I haven't create cs week teams yet..maybe can see possible new units typing from its weaknesses
I just mute all
I have specific new pair and unless it is MF you dont have to ping me
I still need dark faves

My cyrus already become assist role due to yveltal dark pulse build...but as good as he is, his sync is still flying
Another dark tech/striker fave would be nice
cant see more dark legendary tho
Single strike urshifu, galar moltres, zarude, guzzlord, hoopa unbound, 4 new sv legendaries

Hyperspace fury is dark
So hoopa unbound might be dark
I still haven't check much the paradoxes typings...i wonder if there's dark between them
Hoopa will come on Paulo VA tho 
I dont think so
Heatran, Azelf, Uxie, some forms of the force of nature, arceus, regigas, manaphy, phione, shaymin, origin creation trio all appear in hisui
Plenty of possible faves
Even enough to make a new region tag
you might have 2 ugly original form of diaga and palkia tho

I can at least understand the concept tho but still a but rough on design
true
Yep, still although i hate its design...i wont discriminate between faves
Like Enamorus kinda weird
At least her therian kinda acceptable
But she is one of the rare fairy fave
Part of why im chasing legendaries, mythicals, UBs and paradoxes are at the end of it...i have plenty types coverage, if i choose based on characters, i wont know which pokemon they will end up pairing
So i thịnk she will come as free BP
Also DeNa probably not gonna mess up with those pokemons kits much
Are you rejoining the server?
As outdated gloria is, she is still good and clewr stuffs
secretly a gameplay fav chaser
have to mute all other thread
Also another reason is i like to beat enemies that use normal pokemons using legendaries and the likes 
Why not just mute the server?
Such pure satisfaction
When beating a togekiss with behemoth blade or bolt strike and etc
because it will look more like no news happen if some unimportant thread has notification
99999 damage is still 99999 damage tho
I have satisfaction of using a mouse to beat a dragon
Yep but i rather 99999 damage bolt strike than a buddy move thunderbolt
It will be weird
weird hobby
Well poma already weird
Togepi and yamper tanking as good as suicune or zamazenta or shiny ho-oh
Lucario become tanky
Unkillable pikachu with multiple endure
There’s a chance the god of Pokémon won’t be as powerful as a sloth
Well if its a fave, you will find a way to make your fave work
norman is still at bottom of food chain tho
Like people saying ssN kinda lame and slow, still clear my ice weak for me easily 
Even the shunned Gladion, can boost his multi attack damage using field stuff like weather, zone, terrain and rebuffs
If you like a unit, you will find way to make it work
Too bad my Gladion is still 1/5 
Yep he pairs well with his father figure and they are one of the few ice types that doesn't need to rely on hail 
Mark my words when Gladion gets a buff he’ll be strong

Pokemon Masters Day Gladion?
Hopefully gladion buff
And not kukui
Kukui and acerola kinda sus with no 
Like DeNa probably gonna give them during alola VA
If not I’ll retire in self pity
Hopefully gladion buff is not a new gladion alt but a truly gladion buff 
a week before datamine
hopefully it's not anything that I like
but if it's a fav it's also kinda a win
Didn't realize that time passes quickly, eggmon event almost end yet i still didn't have my shiny goldeen 
Hey, how long are the Anni MFs gonna be around?
skill problem
#1012256199128915968
It was kinda related to another question I was about to ask, but thanks.
You can still ask it if it fits
Nah, managed to find the answer myself. 
Fyi since the deals are ending soonish
For any guppies out there, the $1 masters fair paid gems have dropped dramatically in value since the daily gems came out
yep, im only considering the 1$ per 1k pack now
and not always
might get one this christmas
The $1 for 1k is a solid value
Not quite as good as the welcome ash bundle but still good
For anyone wondering, traditionally there are a couple different paid selectors for new years
Be extra frugal this month and ideally bank 15k paid gems in the event they have the 5k mega selectors again
Which 15k paid is a lot more achievable with the daily gems than it ever was before
welcome ash was how much for how much?
$1 for 3k
It was a pretty insane deal
He also had i think it was $8 for 10k or 15k
I forget what it was
But it was an absurd amount
They had never had bundles that value heavy
Between that and the daily gems they’ve really evened the scales for guppies dolphins and whales
The coin bundle if i am going to be 100% honest is purely for dolphins and whales
It’s a great value but it’s still expensive
I defer to cami’s conversion sheet for that
Just always remember folks, even with selectors never chase the meta
The powercreep is always there
So play for faves and you’ll never have regrets
it was $1usd for 1k gems which is basically what the daily EX bundle is now
i wasn't trusting my memory, but yeah, thought it was something like that
I got all my favs this month and it took a huge tole on my gems but it’s back to saving
I went from like 87K to 0 
I had to pity pretty much all of them but all is worth in the Pursue of favs
The point in saving 

I plead the 5th
The right to remain silent (?) 
Gem count, ready to reach 90k
so 5th will be a masterfair with another of Richu's fave huh?
im kinda hoping we get Kalos CS because it's about time
and it connects with saving gems... uhhh.. it just does ok?
It can’t happen it can’t it just can’t
It probably be NY Kris with Raikou

Once in a while I would go to the Gacha-and-Flex server to strengthen my willpower to not pull units immediately so I can be immune to temptations and following my plans for success
So like building up a tolerance to poisons?
Ok after playing sv I got some new favs
yeah, that's sounds about right
anything that flex on me will be fruitless
and not needing to scold people for doing it
More like i am not going to have Tai or anyone smite me for talking about how much it took me to pull them 
As i will not enable nor tempt those trying to resist
||I had to pity both of them I’m just glad I got them
|| 
||I was a bit shocked at first but I am happy regardless I find it funny I had to pity calem and Serena for 1/5 all my pities so far have been for kalos, jasmine took until 297 but I’m happy I got her
||
Between ||needing to spend gems on my fav this month and holding on to my current gem count to keep up with the rest of the 300k savers|| It's a tough choice to make
New day arise... Promise to myself to saving gems for soon-to-come pal marnie rerun. 
then you better get started if you plan to use f2p gems
go full pity and expect nothing
good
few of you really wiped clean huh
||i might fall in battle soon too, planning to pity Lillie||
||No need to feel bad, as long as they’re faves and aren’t obstructing bigger faves.|| 
Saving plan
simple and specific...
||i feel bad because I'm worrying about enjoying to use her due to 4bar gauge||
||SS Gio is such a case where i'd rather just not use him than try to force many speed buffs||
||I’ll probably just use lucian ||
||i had to change my ssrcynthia to shadow force build to accommodate her 4 bar gauge
||
Well sskorrina can use shadow ball build though
Sskorrina only use 2 bar
||even 3/5 with mpr? darn||
||mpr doesn't 100% to proc, well at least she got quick tempo to help your team||
changes updated to reflect gem count till 31 dec
your number is higher than shiro's 
Will be so close to 100k 
I'll be able to break my record soon enough assuming I'll be patient
based on Tlim's gem count i only need 9000 gems to reach pity on ||Jasmine banner||
weird, shiro's gem count stated that from 22/12 to 31/12 i can get 10550 gems
well it doesnt matter much since i only need 9000 gems

I'm zenning until my name happens
My target is Pal rerun banner, so i will go back to spending gems mode 1 and half month later
69165 gems today, i can reach 2 pities before January 
I'm unsure as to what to aim for
Having colress available makes saving exponentially harder
Relate
I'm getting to two pities today
But I almost wish I dropped all 73.2k just to get Colress and Hugh
Stay strong
NGL, I really want Jasmine just because she applied SEUN to an ally
You don't have Red or ARaihan?
But do I really need it just to see max numbers?
I've started playing since April 2022, do you think I have them?
Red was possible
And I don't think Redlax has rerun when I started playing
I was mainly focused on the Johtrio
Along with Gloria and lucas
I was shafted by SS kris
SS lyra blessed me
And then I was held at gunpoint to not pull ethan
VA units shafted me
Because I had no gems
being newbie
Shafted on SS Ethan, SS Steven and SS Hilda, all I had to get a copy at pity
Non-VA unit I either have mediocre to godly luck
So far my banner pulls were uh
You know what I find ironic?
Theory is if you like a unit you might have to pity them 
Shaft, obscene luck, big luck, shaft, obscene luck, obscene luck
I got the 2 MF units on the first multi, and those were the ones who have 2 MF units
Aura Cynthia and Cerena I got both of them on the first multi
The obscene luck I mentioned was with SS lyra and SST red
And then the monstrosity that the N banner was
Walked out with Raihan, Marnie, Cynthia and 3/5 N
I got pretty fantastic luck on the 3rd anni units. Ash took me 6, Red took me 4 and Cynthia took me 1
With a single pity
And the 5/5 I got from pity
?
Hmmmm, is that really not allowed? If so, I really didn't know
Yeah, I don't really have gambling urges, since I always pull on pity
i was about to give warning but yeah better to let people figure it out
But many people on gem zen end up having issues with controlling gambling urges
Did you have a pity before
I burned 24k gems
Ouch
well....
I think I still regret skipping SSA Cynthia
Things happen for a reason
Because what got me into saving
Was colress coming into the game, but then he's a spotlight
Which means saving for him is pointless
what got me into gambling is SSA Cynthia tho... I was in rage after pity cynthia and started go rogue
I was extremely lucky with 2 frogs ||only took 4 multis to get both|| but then i might to go pity for Jasmine 
I am considering jasmine
you are not alone this month... I share the same story
Since she fits some goals for me, despite not falling in the canon outfit rule
But like
The odds of some of my faves having the pairs I want with their canon clothes
Are so obscenely low
I feel that rule won't hold
I can't see lysandre getting an alt with mega Gyarados without it being SS
I think you should only go pity for a unit if you dont have to thịnk... If you have to think then it might be a choice that come with regret
Same goes for ghetsis and Cofagrigus or Cyrus and weavile
I always think
If I skipped my biggest fave because the banner wasn't optimal
Nothing is out of reach for thinking it out
that is why you have second list of tier 2 fav
I skipped a tier -1 fav
Due to his banner not being optimal
Like
DeNa won't release a pair as perfect
Even if they were bribed into doing so
pity to combat weird odd
Colress might be in gauntlet weakness banner if regirock become a gauntlet boss
Regirock already become boss once but that time only have alola grimsley spotlight
Only him and colress are steel right currently in general pool
Yeah can wait for spotlight scout in case of colress tho
i got 3 Balloon Morty on 1500 gems... Freaking weird and that is the last time i pull for spotlight discount
I might pull if my fave becomes spotlights again...but 7.5k paid for whole tier does stings
So I guess there isn't a reasonable rule that fits the should or shouldn't pull when it comes to certainty of pulling a pair
not worth
Follow your heart but respect your mind

But if unlucky, it might take months or year for me to accidentally get the spotlight fave 
Is there any tierlist including all gen 9 characters?
got spotlight fav is what made me lose 24k gems tho
Got spotlight nessa so....
Overall I think my goal is more or less set, now
Oh thats if free gems...i might use paid gems as paid gems becoming cheaper nowadays
Having teams that can clear every on type comfortably in csmm
I still feel lacking in some types
Yeah, I had to somehow on-type sycamore when Sydney was fairy weak
Play rough Gloria and moonblast annilillie 
i started late than you and i already got several team for every stage already
I refuse to offtype
Every week I land on an emergency EX due to that
if u dont have fairy type, just seasonal select next month
the one i would recommend is pserena
Wow this is harder than mine...i only refuse to use non faves, so im open to offtype as long as it is a fave
I thought next month is pokefair
Especially when my psychic faves roster stacks 
oh really?
Hoopa, mewtwo, deoxys, necrozma
If I ontyped sycamore, refusing to use damage syncs while doing so
if pokefair , bede then
I guess offtyping really is off limits
Well there is seasonal select but bit later
Seasonal on Half anni i guess
On half anni
Hope there's fall iris in there for my dupe
For fair select, i will grab if there's ssleon/djgloria/sskorrina/sshilda
beside rock with weak ass olivia i dont think i need offtype any stage
I got rock covered with regirock and diancie
I want to use gladion for dark weak this week but phoebe got sentryx2 
Had to use bacon birb
I just pushed through with sydney
Karen solve all problem
Barely
Giovanni failed me for the first time in this week's wallace
Had to rely on heavy RNG for clearing it
Hi guys
I still use Gio for every psychic stage tho
Help me stop myself from spending gems
Never failed
Im at 23k and have the random urge to blow them on either HWhitney, H Jasmine or one of the greninjas
He didnt fail me
Mine isn't EX
you should pull tho you can be like me... Check my gems count, 24k gems gone
I used him this week, too many OP psychic... sometimes old units can still carry weight
Talking about that, i havent use lear for months
well you're not wrong.. Given next datamine + me not wanting anything from the anni units, I can probably get enough gems to pull one of em
How good is Calem vs Serena? (i also hate u guys LMAO)
You might not have enough
i think they leave at the end of this month
Will be enough if willing to 
bad advice

Does the daily gems per day table also updated?
this give me both hope and despair tho
No hope, i thought you gonna save till palentine 

Still have January and February to save for palentine
Cannot let that 24k gems becomes wasted
But it will risk pal marnie if jan or first half of ferb isnt that good in gems count

gambling syndrome
Palentine units released on early feb or late feb?
Release on 5th and end on 19th last feb

But will only get the palentine pity on 18th
Let see datamine if jan give more than 26k
Pls. no Kalos VA by February pls. 
really?
Why so tight
btw i will leave and gems count upgrade: 620 gems
ask #916852389347196958
thanks!
Well maybe can check gem history as well, check how much gem we got for January and February
But need to absolutely skip any other units
It is not reliable in jan and feb
Jan will have a lot of gems, while Feb is uncertain
Because they has huge flux of gems from fix content and suck
Well feb got run up to half anni, so that will be a lot i think
But if palentine banner till 19th, it will reach second half as well
Bit of second half

no i mean second half on day 27th
Well at least you can make your decision after seeing January's datamine
Yeah
Even if they release late, the banner is still here
if i dont have enough for rerun i might have to resolve to 4th anni selected scout
and that's too far
Hope for next 2 month i have no fav in master fair form tho
Well more time to collect from google opinion
true tho
I miscalculated so i cant buy selected scout this half anni

unless google discount 1$
I'm glad i already made my mind to not chase dupes for 4-5/5 grids, this decision might save some of my paid gems. I only left 4 pokefair units to 3/5...1 seasonal...2 master fair units
So if the select didn't have any of those not yet 3/5 grid means skip
Like recent 5k fair select
The only fave of mine in it is sscyrus and he already 3/5 so = skip
i think grid isnt matter tho.... I keep all my pair at 2/5 now. After i'm tired of using 2/5 grid, i will upgrade and they become new unit to use
Kinda matters for me because they got most of their good stuffs...but 4-5/5 is not that enticing for me as a guy that have bunch of faves
I can understand that it's manageable for people that have small amount of fave
already good at base
True tho you have 52 fav so 4/5 5/5 grid use like 1 a month at max 
ah forgot... Im watching anime, bye will leave
18 of them are pokefairs so 36 move candies, better that i use those candies on new upcoming faves
Rather than 5/5 shenanigans
My very big fav list 
5k gems pog
I need to add a million more SV characters but am waiting for more official art to be posted
Edited the ones from another list Atticus official art when
Tbh might put Brassius a tier lower
Yeah i really like protags
and every character in general
Will be bigger than my list if most of them have at least an alt 
And that's why I like to be specific 
Comparing it to the first list I made it's definitely shorter
Bye Gladion you'll never get that Xurkitree
Well if in my pursuit to collect my faves already need to fork some cash, pretty sure that big of a list also needs to sacrifice something 
Yeah i wish the list could be more specific, but i love all of them 😭
Sacrifices must be made for more gems 

If I included all the chars I like all the team star bosses would've been on there except the leader
Well at least they can pull a shiny card on me to make my list twice bigger...well
but characters are dangerous too as 1 character might have multiple alts
Cannot wait to see the next shiny legendary...so far, both of them are legendary adventures counterpart...shiny ray and shiny ho-oh
so shiny mewtwo soon
The 2% of my favs that are popular getting all the alts 😭
OMG i forgot to include N 
Steven, N, and Morty
Kyreum White in the distance ready to be collected by N
N the box art legendary collector




3/5 Gladion
