Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[lean mango]

Kalos VA better have Lysandre alt or I'm skipping out of spite

Sorry potential Diantha alt

[tardy fiber]

They gonna use the shiny card again and give Lysandre shiny xerneas

Would fit as shiny ray and shiny ho-oh are also legendary adventures counterpart

[lean mango]

Lysandre will have a dazzling outfit

[tardy fiber]

He gonna be sleek

Drip max

[lean mango]

hell yea

[tardy fiber]

[lean mango]

All my highest favs getting the best drip

Would be sad and funny if he gets shiny Yvetal

[tardy fiber]

Hope leaf get shiny mewtwo alt, would be a good time to give her green color outfit that might look like her counterpart Green

[lean mango]

Leaf is overdue for another alt comparing to the others in the gang

[tardy fiber]

The saddest part is iirc she doesn't even appear in kanto VA

But a wild Lillie appears

[lean mango]

Lillie replaced Brock

Man disappeared in Victory road

[tardy fiber]

Kinda want brock alt as well

Give him stakataka

[lean mango]

That would be pretty cool, we need more Ultra beasts

[tardy fiber]

Not like kanto have many legendaries anyway, use UBs to add more lacking regions

[lean mango]

C'mon DeNa I want Xurkitree

[tardy fiber]

After this can also consider paradoxes to add lacking regions

[lean mango]

Xurkitree is the one Pokemon that is not Poison that ||I'm willing to put soley for the mon||

[tardy fiber]

Same just give a special attacker fave ...kinda hard for zekrom to bruteforce without elec terrain

[lean mango]

I wanna have my silly lil Christmas tree

[tardy fiber]

I only got 1 elec fave currently...its so sad

Got plenty psychic, dragon, fire

[lean mango]

Comparing to the amount of electric legendaries there are

Got the same amount of units with Poison

[tardy fiber]

Yep there are bunch of them

Not sure why DeNa hold em hostage

[lean mango]

I need Xurkitree

[lean mango]

They wanted people to use the Pikachu duo

[tardy fiber]

I rather only do 10k damage with faves than 99999 with those rats

Not sure why but basic pokemon having meta level strength aint my cup of tea

[lean mango]

Sometimes it's funny but c'mon I don't even like Pikachu

[upbeat lotus]

The rats make people dont want to pull for electric dmg dealer

I think thats why Ampharos isnt a striker

[tardy fiber]

Some of the current faves types are more than the others

Gonna hope that tapu arrives with terrains

Over time my fave collection will grow so no need to get swayed by non faves

[mental skiff]

Free Tornadus and Enamorous let's gooooo

2 more BP unit to come

[tardy fiber]

Probably morgan virizion and dana with one of the regis or kanto birbs

4 BP units if both come with another MC bp pair

I think they will continue with frontier brains after Chatelaines...kinda sus that no more frontier brains get released

If include them, might cover the remaining type teamwork

[sweet tide]

Bc its one more day

Shiro’s and my calcs are the same if u count till 31/12

[chrome nest]

I want a thundurus sync pair

[split thicket]

Hey, does the New Year usually bring up good paid gem deals? Just asking before I spend my money.

[upbeat lotus]

i got it thanks for the explanation

[south scroll]

Usually yeah

[sturdy flower]

so DeNa doesn't have a break for their employees this year huh

[mental skiff]

....most companies also shut down for New Year break from around December 30 to January 3.

expect 28th datamine

[vestal leaf]

Kinda sad considering how for 2 years we had pre-christmas datamine

[sturdy flower]

maybe because they didn't work 2 days that week

[fallen path]

gotta be tonight

[timber wren]

they’ve never done a friday update

[sturdy flower]

it's going to be tomorrow

[summer goblet]

Jan will be a quiet month

so no Kalos VA for Jan

thank god

so we can rest easy for now

[tardy fiber]

Really hopeful to see January's stuffs, well because DeNa never gave me skip month for a long time and December is already a skip for me

They're never this kind

[summer goblet]

hehehe

at least they decide for us if its going to be quiet

[tardy fiber]

Hope a fave of fairy/dark/elec/poison will appear

Other typings, i already have a decent coverage

Normal as well but none weak to normal

[summer goblet]

i want a strong Ice and Rock striker

since it's the type that i struggle the most at

But I do love a great collection of MF units in my arsenal

[tardy fiber]

Luckily schilda already clear rock weak for me...she can clear everything with towering force, double down 5 and super syncer

[summer goblet]

nice

all i have is Classic Blue

and while he is great

only have him at 1/5

[deft glen]

all I have is 1/5 Olivia

[tardy fiber]

I hope i can get a rock fave that also deal special rock damage like cblue...but man, pretty sure stakataka and terrakion doesn't have any special rock damage moves

[lunar topaz]

He k my needs 1/5

[lunar topaz]

I’ve seen Brock work pretty well@for rock week, however they were Ex

[summer goblet]

how about Nillego

the poison rock jellyfish

UB

[deft glen]

I can make her work (altough painfully) for most Rock Weak stages, only Sinnoh that I cheat with SS Lyra

[lunar topaz]

Oh that’s good

[tardy fiber]

I hope it become poison instead

Not rock

Not many of my faves are poison

Even less than rock

[summer goblet]

don't you have Fall Iris as your poison fav

she's good right?

[tardy fiber]

Yep but she is a poison unit, and need two poison in one team for easy cover...then i can change her build for assist

Just poison wish and acid spam

For aoe spdef down

[summer goblet]

another poison striker is nice and all

[tardy fiber]

Just like my current sscyrus, lucas, sslyra, anniskyla

Yep as long as poison striker or tech

[summer goblet]

but i don't think you need 3 poison unit for poison team aside from the aesthetic

[tardy fiber]

I can also make do with another tech

No need 3

[unkempt vortex]

Poison support

[tardy fiber]

2 is enough

[unkempt vortex]

Take it or leave it

[summer goblet]

ah yes the tech assist guy

yeah 2 is great

[tardy fiber]

Yep zone faves can be assist if needed to

[summer goblet]

i would admit both Fall Iris and Lucus can do dps themselves

and maybe SS Lyra

but Cyrus, Skyla and Cynthia have a hard time doing this by themselves

[tardy fiber]

Assist chip damage lucas

I only use him as assist, the sync gonna be zerena anyways

Or zinnia because she got mega, i always sync with mega first

Assist sslyra, plenty debuffs...such a good friend for scrosa

[summer goblet]

true

[tardy fiber]

Zone units are very flexible, they can be build like a support

Oh zone, terrain, weather

Techs

[summer goblet]

yeah def

they make the team so good

looking forward for anni Skyla and Fall Iris

[tardy fiber]

But i can also accept support

If nihilego is a poison support

Then i gonna build fall iris as hyper beam user

[lean mango]

Oo would love Nihilego as a support

[timber wren]

support lusamine nihilego, striker james and toxapex

[lean mango]

[tough oriole]

Nice, so Ting-Lu and Wo-Chien would complete 2 type teams

[tardy fiber]

Yep i can make do with at least 2 units in my fave type, but these types need some help ...well not normal, but more normal will be nice

[tough oriole]

Hopefully Dana’ll have Zapdos

[tardy fiber]

Electric teamwork

I will grab it

She also used regis iirc but MC already have regirock so probably birbs

[tough oriole]

If Evelyn raises Def/SpDef by 4 stages, Nita raises Atk/Speed by 4, what’ll Morgan/Dana do?

[lunar topaz]

Evasion and accuracy + 4

[tough oriole]

+4 Evasion/SpAtk

[tardy fiber]

Probably debuffs

[tough oriole]

[tough oriole]

Hmm, just realized that Evelyn has Burn and Nita has debuff, perhaps the rest’ll have status change and something else

But a TM debuffing would be

[tardy fiber]

I like bp master units type teamworks, cam feel the difference especially when using same type in one team

[tough oriole]

Morgan rebuff

I used Nita for Naomi on a full ground team, it was really nice

[upbeat lotus]

I think either of them will have a +4 SpAtk/Atk TM while the remaining debuff

[tough oriole]

So like Pal Bea but without PMUN

[tardy fiber]

The other chatelaine tm will give +2 atk, +2 spd, +2 def, +2 spdef....

[upbeat lotus]

It would be funny if all of them are supports

[tardy fiber]

I almost form another rainbow ticket

But i will wait for datamine

[upbeat lotus]

Speaking of rainbow ticket, all of the BP 5* are supports

[tardy fiber]

Yep

[tough oriole]

Guess that chatelaine hates SpAtk

[tardy fiber]

Thats why i like it, i only have 5 support that are legendaries/mythicals/UBs.

Will be 7 when sycamore and hop got

Bp master units help to fill the spot in my team

[tough oriole]

I kinda expect Miraidon to be the Legendary Adventure mon for Paldea, I can’t see them trying to powercreep Red with Electric Terrain or Ash with Electric power lmao

[tardy fiber]

would be nice

[tough oriole]

A really good Fighting Strike in Koraidon would be easier to sell to people

[tardy fiber]

But i hope we got hisui legendary adventures first

More free faves, more better

[upbeat lotus]

Dena: here is my solution, make it a support instead like Ampharos

[tardy fiber]

I did write on feedback for them to release alola legendary adventures...like solgaleo doesn't even have alola region tag

[tough oriole]

Wonder how Orichalcum Pulse/Hadron Engine would translate; just one setting of field effect would be awful without extension (and we’ve yet to have multiple of the same extension)

[upbeat lotus]

Its the perfect place to introduce Enormous. Most people dont like it

[tough oriole]

Problem is, enam is a sub-legend ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[upbeat lotus]

Mewtwo isnt a box art legendary either

[tough oriole]

But mewtwo isn’t a sublegend, but suicune is

[upbeat lotus]

[tardy fiber]

Probably just elec terrain on entry and all other miraidon buffs in the game becoming grid here so only benefit himself like those increased stats and etc

I set low expectations for a free legendary adventures unit...well not so low, probably mid

But a free terrain is good, my N will be happy

[tough oriole]

Hopefully it isn’t to even expect a paldea LA unit

[upbeat lotus]

Hisui LE first

[tardy fiber]

Enamorus will be great

Especially great if kalos VA is soon

So i will have support EX sycamore that is also fairy

So enamorus can just be whatever role and i still gladly accept

[upbeat lotus]

A f2p fairy striker

I made a concept of it months ago

[tough oriole]

I hope they didn’t stop doing the event sync pairs (like bluecanine or helena), it’d be a nice way to add a fairy pair

[tardy fiber]

Even if she is another support also can be of use...if she buff attack, will boost sycamore horn leech damage and i can just slap gladion in that team

[tardy fiber]

Yep i hope they didn't stop doing it due to lodge pairs existence

[mental skiff]

i only want a free rock f2p striker without the need of sandstorm

[tardy fiber]

Time to hopium for roark grid

[mental skiff]

Also no recoil pls

[drowsy saddle]

What if you got Roark who only needs one turn of sandstorm

[mental skiff]

still sux

[tardy fiber]

Just use ssbrock and don't get the sandstorm tiles

[tough oriole]

Well, Lodge was Sept update, and Naomi/Helena were also Sept/Oct

[tardy fiber]

But no free npc pair for xmas ...i thought they gonna pop on every seasonal

[sturdy flower]

i guess christmas is tough

maybe new year?

[tardy fiber]

Hopefully

New year and palentine

[mental skiff]

Dena! Give us free ticket scout

[tough oriole]

Maybe there’ll be Alolan Surfer for Summer seasonal

[tardy fiber]

They gave through this, 5 tickets a day

[sturdy flower]

and christmas has a bigger gift

[tardy fiber]

Yep i havent check what we will get in detail

Oh 600 gems on 24th from daily gem table by tlim

Also 3000 gems gift/content not sure

Only poma day stuff on 25th

Finally i can chip away on my 99999 sync orbs

[mental skiff]

no free ticket with limited pair in it.... Like that free selected scout outdated pokefair unit

[sturdy flower]

that would be more likely for New Year anyways

[mental skiff]

And only 3 ticket a day

[sturdy flower]

and we don't have new year stuff revealed

[tough oriole]

You mean the one that had 0.00000000000001 chance for poke fair

[tardy fiber]

Didnt new year also got that lottery before? The one that gives me 300 gems consolation prize

[tough oriole]

Yea

[mental skiff]

yes pls

[tardy fiber]

One of the reroll accounts got the grand prize

[tough oriole]

I just want a free old seasonal select… i need too many seasonal faves, and lilliebee’s also there

[tough oriole]

Fr?

[tardy fiber]

Because its a lottery, probably one of the reroll accounts got the first prize

[mental skiff]

far-fetch dream

[tough oriole]

Guess i’ll wait 17 years to catch up on seasonals

[tardy fiber]

Well at least recent seasonal select have almost all seasonal units

That's also why i not yet candy fall iris, i gonna wait for seasonal select to make her 2/5

Gonna finish djgloria 3/5 first

[tough oriole]

In some ways, that could be bad… what if you have 2 seasonal favs and need to choose… that would be worse than 2 selects with one fav each

[tardy fiber]

But not guaranteed the other select with small selectable seasonal pool will have your faves...like recent 5k fair select got sscyrus/gioking/celesa iirc...had to skip that due to no fave

Sscyrus already 3/5

So no need to grab

I still grab the 3k one, due to ssleon

Now he is already 2/5 thanks to that

[tough oriole]

Wasn’t that one SS Leon/SS Morty/SS Dawn?

[mental skiff]

The one on anni

[tardy fiber]

If ny fair select have djgloria/sskorrina i will be much closer to complete my 3/5 goal

Oh still have ssleon and sshilda left

[tough oriole]

I want ||emmet or sswally|| in 3k select

[mental skiff]

5k

[tardy fiber]

Oh right

Last January selects costs 5k

[tough oriole]

All of them?

[tardy fiber]

I spent 10k

To get 2/5 N and 3/5 Lysandre

[tough oriole]

o_O

[tardy fiber]

Hopefully it will be cheaper this time

[tough oriole]

Hopefully there’ll be season select too

[tardy fiber]

Price increase due to x25 feels bad, it probably ended up to be 3* anyway

[mental skiff]

increase 1000k to + 10 pull

[tardy fiber]

Im one of the lucky ones, got my self N from select multi and select another N...the other one give me alder on multi and select lysandre

[mental skiff]

only on anni and half anni

[tardy fiber]

But many people only got bunch of 3* and 4* in the select multi

[mental skiff]

bunch of

[tardy fiber]

I still need 3 to 5* korrina, hope can get on poma day multi

After her there's 49 more 4* pairs that need to be 5*

[mental skiff]

i thought you dont use non-fav why bother update them

[tardy fiber]

Well because i will use them if got event item drop boost

Or something like glasses criteria or something

Or mission requirements kanto grass or something

[mental skiff]

use fav

All about the favs

[tardy fiber]

But there's no kanto grass fave

Only johto grass and unova grass

[mental skiff]

who need buff

[tardy fiber]

For gems on missions

I need gems

[mental skiff]

win by fav let's gooooo

[tardy fiber]

But faves doesn't fit the requirements

[mental skiff]

oka

[tardy fiber]

For certain missions

But i like to use faves on csmm

Gauntlet still need to rely on some non faves, well as long as i get 10 streaks

[mental skiff]

[tardy fiber]

But overtime i might can do gauntlet with only faves, SV also already added 20 faves

[tardy fiber]

For other faves that I am still missing are:
Zapdos, Moltres, Articuno, Raikou, Regice, Registeel, Jirachi, Uxie, Azelf, Heatran, Regigigas, Manaphy, Phione, Arceus, Terrakion, Virizion, Thundurus, Meloetta, Volcanion, Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Fini, Tapu Bulu, Magearna, Zeraora, Melmetal, Kartana, Stakataka, Xurkitree, Blacephalon, Nihilego, Guzzlord, Regieleki, Regidrago, Galar Moltres, Galar Articuno, Galar Zapdos, Glastrier, Spectrier, Zarude, Enamorus, Koraidon, Miraidon, Wo-Chien, Chien-Pao, Ting-Lu, Chi-Yu, Great Tusk, Scream Tail, Brute Bonnet, Flutter Mane, Slither Wing, Sandy Shocks, Roaring Moon, Iron Treads, Iron Bundle, Iron Hands, Iron Jugulis, Iron Moth, Iron Thorns, Iron Valiant.

So 61 more unreleased faves, without counting other forms or shinies

[summer goblet]

the last few bits sounds a bit weird and not like Pokemon names if reading this out of contex

[deft glen]

I'd love that. It'd be nice to get Pal Serena or S Marnie without having to go for the rerun banners 🥲

[summer goblet]

but i will admit, i have yet to play SV at the slightest to gen any sort of actual context or udnerstanding

[tardy fiber]

Well paradoxes other than koraidon and miraidon have their nickname as official name in dex, koraidon paradox nickname is winged king and miraidon nickname is Iron Serpent

[summer goblet]

ah

so you can actually call by their actual pokemon name if you wish

but they look so different that you might as well nickname them

[sturdy flower]

the jp names seem better

[hardy creek]

the en names for paradox mons seem to be very literal tls of the jp names tho

[sturdy flower]

it's how the language works in this case

[lunar topaz]

||Flutter Mane||

[sturdy flower]

shame we have to wait till after christmas, I am really curious how deep into character customization they want to go

[tough oriole]

They don’t have “actual Pokémon names” (or rather the funky ones are their real names)

I guess you could say “Past/Future Donphan” (for example), but everyone got used to the Titular names quickly

[sturdy flower]

Just realised that this is the perfect gen to introduce the ancient "Original Dragon" of Unova

[tardy fiber]

That will be in Pokemon Pitch Black and Pure White

[summer goblet]

the gen 5 remake

hope its not a bad remake like bdsp

1:1 remake

also rest easy as there shall be no datamine in a hour

[sturdy flower]

i think datamine will be monday or tuesday, depending on how many days they are taking off

we are already entering uncharted territory when it comes to december datamine date

actually, it probably won't be a day with new event releases

[tardy fiber]

They already prepared probably thats why we know the 2021 MF event stuffs

They don't want to release early this month

[sturdy flower]

the new year units start before new year

probably because new year is on weekend

[tardy fiber]

Hopefully got teaser on poma day

In dev letter

[sturdy flower]

kinda doubt

dev letters are almost always on datamine days

sadly

[tardy fiber]

They did tease pal units before datamine last February

[sturdy flower]

they don't care about hype for people who datamine anyways

[tardy fiber]

Only know about palbea and palmarnie but little tease is already good

A surprise VA would also be nice, we did get sinnoh VA last January

[summer goblet]

I'll go next Thursday or Friday with NY units being the launch unit of Jan

last week of Dec is all about the reruns of anni

[tardy fiber]

A year plus since anniv 2021 units released, and good alola ghost damage dealer is still annilillie...other two EBE's already have several replacement like sshilda for anniN and sssteven for annisteven EBE

[sturdy flower]

i honestly think anni n is the most valuable still

[tardy fiber]

He is the better one of the 3, annisteven and annilillie rely much on super effective damage...kinda the reason why annisteven have tm that give SE up and annilillie have chance to get SE up on her attacks

[summer goblet]

yeah so much is true

anni Steven, the most hyped up unit of all time turns out to be above average

At least Lillie is great against LG with her free win piercing blow along with N

[tardy fiber]

Yep they are not as bad as the hate they get

But i will use sskorrina instead of her for ghost weak cs next week

Because phoebe got sentry entry 2 and wise entry 2

Free buffs for marshadow

[umbral meteor]

cant be next friday

[umbral meteor]

they never did tho?

[umbral meteor]

or thursday

[sturdy flower]

my new year is later!

[umbral meteor]

ah

[wind nymph]

5.5k gems pog

[mental skiff]

go up

[signal halo]

Datamines not happening puts me in a weird spot with jasmine

For some reason I can't take off my head I should get ampharos

But I was waiting for datamine just in case they had like, a fave rain in january

[tardy fiber]

The one that put me anxious is the thank you gem deal, it will expire in 2 days...but hurm, that still more expensive than 20 days gem deal

69,765 gems

Next reset 3900 gems

[sturdy hatch]

Adds up

[mental skiff]

What after 700

Im on 700 right now

[tardy fiber]

800

[mental skiff]

no i meant gems reward

[mental skiff]

not much i see

[tardy fiber]

Probably give 500 gems on 1000

[mental skiff]

[tardy fiber]

Like i got 10 level 100 guests and they give a bunch...500 iirc

[mental skiff]

1000 gems in a month

[drowsy saddle]

You can check all mission stages/rewards on BP if you want

[mental skiff]

BP?

[drowsy saddle]

Bulbapedia

[mental skiff]

Oh they have it

Let me chẹck

nice 1000 gems

[maiden kayak]

does this mean interacting 1 by 1?

[drowsy saddle]

It did mean it at some point iirc but they updated it, now 6x interaction counts as 6 interactions for the mission

[tardy fiber]

Yep like what Rikko said

[maiden kayak]

oic

[mental skiff]

Nature of communication

[tardy fiber]

Cannot wait for next reset

[upbeat lotus]

||Another chance for you, Jasmine||

[tardy fiber]

I will reach 2 pities next reset

[upbeat lotus]

[tardy fiber]

Well if the gems are not timegated

11 eggs left to hopium for a shiny goldeen

[upbeat lotus]

You bought the egg passes?

[tardy fiber]

Nope

I wont buy it unless a legendary egg phione or cosmog or kubfu or meltan or something

[sturdy flower]

egg phione would be nice

but we are stuck in gen1

[tardy fiber]

That will be the first eggmon that i will get to 5* 20/20

Well meltan is an honorary kanto due to LGPE

[sturdy flower]

can meltan even have eggs

[tardy fiber]

well magnemite hatched from egg here

[sturdy flower]

Magnemite can hatch from eggs

[tardy fiber]

Magnemite doesn't even have gender

[sturdy flower]

yes

but it can

[tardy fiber]

So how people get magnemite egg?

Pair with ditto?

[sturdy flower]

ditto

[tardy fiber]

I see

[sturdy flower]

and Heatran has a gender but can't breed

[tardy fiber]

Same with the force of nature quattro

And latias/latios

Wow i just noticed that paradoxes also didn't have gender

Even more better to add into my faves list

[mental skiff]

Lugia can breed tho may be you can get Lugia Egg

[upbeat lotus]

Hear me out

Creation trio eggs just like Sinjoh Ruin event

[mental skiff]

Just knew Sinjoh Ruins exist

[split thicket]

Hey, are there any battles that'll require stamina in the Unity Gala event? Wanna be sure so I can save on stamina.

[upbeat lotus]

The Unity Gala are Extreme Battle Events, so there is no stamina needed at all

I think you were confused with Heart United event

[split thicket]

Does that one need stamina?

[drowsy saddle]

Saving stamina is also not the best idea - you can always get everything from shops unless you join in the middle.
Saving stamina just loses you some farmable rewards.

[split thicket]

So should I just spend my stamina on level cap materials?

I really need to level up a lot of units.

[upbeat lotus]

Or farm the 3* powerup in an event

[drowsy saddle]

Spend it to clear event shops (powerups, coins, orbs, tickets, etc) and farm whatever you need afterwards

[split thicket]

That makes sense. Thank you!

[mental skiff]

Sorry for the ping

Phone problem

[split thicket]

No worries.

Anyway, how long until the datamine? I noticed that last year in December, we got it on the 21st.

[sturdy flower]

monday, tuesday, wednesday

depends on how much time off they get towards the end of year

for example my dentist has the whole next week off

[wind nymph]

probably in 4 more days

[split thicket]

How often do you think we'll be getting Neo Champions? I wanna save for the potential Champion Leaf and Shiny Mew.

[sturdy flower]

Kanto is weird, because both Red and Blue are technically already champion status

[split thicket]

Not to mention they could drop Green whenever they please. But they owe it to Leaf after that dumb stunt they pulled during the Kanto VA.

[signal halo]

What happened?

[sturdy flower]

why not Leaf + Green double Neo Champion

[signal halo]

Is green in the game?

[drowsy saddle]

She isn't.

[signal halo]

What happened in the Kanto VA?

I never played it

[hard wave]

Giovanni does smth red blue and I think others tried to stop him I forgot all the VAs and Legendary stories tbh

But then giovanni sees red gigantamax his snorlax which is why he has a dynamax nidoking in johto va

[tardy fiber]

Giovanni took Professor Bellis sync stone data and use it to enhance his mewtwo's strength. Thus, he unlocked Mega Mewtwo Y

Oh thanks to that VA, we also know the reason why Villains can also do sync moves. Villains still have a bond with their pokemon pairs, like mewtwo have same shrewd evil mind like Giovanni

[hard wave]

U mean sync stone right?

[tardy fiber]

There i already mentioned sync orb

[drowsy saddle]

is not quite the same as sync stone.

[hard wave]

He took the data for sync orbs?

[tough oriole]

Sync Stones, the thingies on your poryphone that let you use sync moves

[tardy fiber]

I see, well you guys got the gist of it...no reason to not know what happened in kanto VA when its a permanent content anyway

Can just replay in story mode

Press here

Then choose this one

Enjoy

[sturdy flower]

the "VA event" has 0 story, just battles

[tardy fiber]

But all these the boss power

Rage and chaos

[mental skiff]

hope they rerun Kanto VA cant wait to get mewtwo y my fav

[tardy fiber]

Malice

The last laugh

Kinda battle to me

[sturdy flower]

they might rerun kanto va before half ani yet again

[lean mango]

Would be nice for those tickets

Maybe I'll finally get SS Misty

[tardy fiber]

he is so good, his juicy spatk stats

[signal halo]

I wish I had psychic gear and Gio EX

That sounds like a full on monstrosity

And likely solves the small power vacuum in psychic for me

By the way, did Giovanni get just EX or did he get any power boost?

[sturdy flower]

Mega Mewtwo

[signal halo]

Oh true

[sturdy flower]

it increases his damage

[signal halo]

I forgot that's how zinnia went

Mega Mewtwo sounds scary

Does he get any new move?

[sturdy flower]

Psystrike, not the most useful

[mental skiff]

wait till we get wise entry psychic stage

[sturdy flower]

i don't think wise entry psychic stage is stopping Giovanni

i'd share my csmm team from this week to provide an example, but a mod will misunderstand and just nuke the message

but basically I did Wallace with EX Giovanni, Lucian and Liza this week

[tardy fiber]

Cannot wait, because Tate zen headbutt damage feels lacking

[sturdy flower]

didn't optimize parameters at all

Lucian tanked

[signal halo]

I didn't have EX giovanni

So it was a bit hard

[sturdy flower]

do you have Bianca?

[mental skiff]

👀wallace has wise entry?

[sturdy flower]

Wallace has no wise entry

[signal halo]

Yes, I think I went bianca Sabrina Giovanni

[tardy fiber]

Zinnia spatk only gets boosted to 521...but Gio is over 600

[sturdy flower]

the example was my dark team

[signal halo]

But I couldn't kill the sides

[mental skiff]

[sturdy flower]

CCalem, EX Masked Royal and Nanu

[signal halo]

Sounds overkill

[sturdy flower]

it's 28k hp and sentry entry x2

[signal halo]

Though there's sentry entry

I did it with sydney

No calem

[sturdy flower]

but yeah, they would be fine

i did it with less, but the theme was mono ontype

[tough oriole]

I left it for the half sync parameter, not realizing there was sentry entry x 2 lmao, and ended up having to off type it

[sturdy flower]

i sometimes do themed runs

[signal halo]

I can't do mono ontype

Not when my fairy pairs are sycamore, mina and the alien lady

[sturdy flower]

there's no fairy this week

[signal halo]

I forgot her name

[sturdy flower]

[tough oriole]

[sturdy flower]

Valerie

[mental skiff]

Who

[signal halo]

I can't bruteforce some types like that

[sturdy flower]

i'd probably go for fairy eggmon instead

[tardy fiber]

My current dark team ...used lysandre, sscyrus and scjasmine/sskris

Fairy still need to offtype

[signal halo]

I still ponder if I should dump gems and get both Ccalem and jasmine

[sturdy flower]

for flying I did Falkner, Kahili and Tech Fearow

[signal halo]

Mainly to end up with a more robust support pool

[sturdy flower]

you really can work with just a bit

[signal halo]

I went with EX darach

He can't dps, so he has to nuke hard

[sturdy flower]

for Ice I did Glacia, Hala 2/5 and Candice

spotlight + free units really is enough for much stuff

[signal halo]

I'm almost certain I always use ghetsis on ice

[sturdy flower]

the dark run was kinda my guilty pleasure

this ice has wise entry x2

[signal halo]

He doesn't care

Well, SS Kris helps

[sturdy flower]

monotype team wouldn't survive

[signal halo]

But I can still bruteforce

[tardy fiber]

Gonna wait for datamine before 2/5 cobalion

[signal halo]

Not on monotype

[sturdy flower]

lemme see that fairy for you

[signal halo]

My fairy is unredeemable

Like

Any mid tier fairy pf that appears might be my next pick

[sturdy flower]

you can run support Wigglytuff to make Sycamore unkillable

[signal halo]

I don't wanna stick to sycamore for on type ever again

[sturdy flower]

it boosts def by 4

[mental skiff]

disrespect mina

[signal halo]

I'd rather avoid it

Sycamore was stronger than mina

Mina couldn't hit the mark

So I had to use sycamore

[sturdy flower]

Mina really wants fairy gear

[mental skiff]

[sturdy flower]

she has good options but really low atk

[signal halo]

Which I lack

[tardy fiber]

Oh ice weak have wise entryx2, no wonder my ghetsis do piss damage ...i didn't notice, luckily i put ssN in the team

[signal halo]

I couldn't make her hit hard enough even with full setup

-6 atk -6 def

[mental skiff]

i offtype with Gloria

[signal halo]

I wonder who should be my next 4 to 5 star upgrade

[sturdy flower]

it's interesting Highlander, since I used Mina on that same stage succesfully before

[signal halo]

Was thinking drake

[lunar topaz]

I wish I could keep confusin

[signal halo]

I have no idea what you've done

[sturdy flower]

for LA, yes

[signal halo]

Is your mina fairy geared and 5 stars?

[sturdy flower]

there's no 3* fairy gear so nope, 4*

[tardy fiber]

Djgloria or normal gloria?

[signal halo]

Zone?

[sturdy flower]

zone didnt exist back then

[mental skiff]

Normal one

[signal halo]

I'm pretty sure last time it did

[tardy fiber]

Nice

[signal halo]

Since Sydney has fairy weak in one of the weeks

[sturdy flower]

wait, it was on sinnoh cs, not hoenn

[signal halo]

I failed using mina against sydney

[upbeat lotus]

There is Lodge Lillie

[tardy fiber]

I want my Gloria buff, hop please DeNa

[sturdy flower]

i will try next week, it's that one again

[signal halo]

I can't get lodge lillie

Since I don't have lillie

[sturdy flower]

I will get back to you about the result

do you want me to try monotype or just with Mina as the main damage dealer?

[mental skiff]

[signal halo]

She's somehow the only lodge pair I'm missing

[upbeat lotus]

Mina / Hop or BP Surge / Sycamore work fine for any fairy stages

[mental skiff]

No lilie no life

[signal halo]

Just mina

I can afford Hilbert or Sonia

For her

[sturdy flower]

he has close combat huh

Sycamore is so not going to like that

[signal halo]

Sydney?

[sturdy flower]

yeah

[upbeat lotus]

Just bring Hop or BP Surge

[signal halo]

I pulled it off with a cursed strat

I made max survival 3/5 EX SS kris

[sturdy flower]

as long as it work

[signal halo]

Then went for Lucian for -atk - spdef

And then refused to sync with anyone but sycamore to keep the run clean

After the SS Kris sync, that is

[tardy fiber]

Sskris doesn't buff def unless you got time for brine and get the grid

[signal halo]

Yes

I did that

[upbeat lotus]

Bruh the main dmg source of Mina is from the sync and you didnt bring any atk buffer

[sturdy flower]

I could cheese it with SSA Cynthia and just tank his syncs, but that way even Valerie could clear nevermind Mina

[tardy fiber]

Didnt close combat still hurt?

[sturdy flower]

Sycamore just needs to survive the hit

he heals back to full

[mental skiff]

if no atk buffer it wont be enough tho

[signal halo]

It took so long to beat Sydney I could catch arceus' rerun by the end of it

Sycamore self buffs after a while

[tardy fiber]

Yep but better use skyla than sskris because skyla buff def

[upbeat lotus]

She isnt really bad you just used her wrong

[signal halo]

SS Kris had a team heal

Which was relevant

And could buff crit

[upbeat lotus]

But no atk buff

[signal halo]

I was spamming moonblast most of the time

[upbeat lotus]

This team can pre sync Sidney

[signal halo]

And sycamore had to tank through like two syncs

[sturdy flower]

Lodge Lillie is way better on that stage, she synergizes well with his weakness

[signal halo]

He had enough time to self buff

[sturdy flower]

so once you get her it will be even easier

[signal halo]

It was a 4 sync csmm 2k, I think?

[sturdy flower]

I hope I didn't get my Mina to 5*

no, she should be 4*, tracker says

[signal halo]

I usually do the gladion on type, but decided to give mina a shot once people told she nuked harder

[upbeat lotus]

@signal halo if you want i can help how to you use Mina next week

The problem of Gladion is that there are more ontype dmg dealer nuke better than him

[sturdy flower]

doesn't Gladion nuke harder with EX?

For Mina you are working with 248 atk

+30

she could really use a Kris style grid update where they pack +40 atk

[signal halo]

I mean, so could gladion

[upbeat lotus]

I think their nuke are quite similar

[signal halo]

Any notch upwards and he becomes great

[upbeat lotus]

Mina can benefit from fairy theme skill

[mental skiff]

👀Gladion is just enough ... With ex support

[tardy fiber]

Or give him super powered 9

[signal halo]

Super powered 9 would make gladion a pocket arceus

[tardy fiber]

With lucky skill will be super powered 12

[sturdy flower]

talking about ex support, Sycamore will have one soon

[signal halo]

He'd be the rich man's cyrus

Kalos VA gets me curious about one would be fave

[sturdy flower]

tank + Mina + Darach is decent

and you save 150 on parameter

and Sycamore deals decent damage without crit because the shields are removed

[signal halo]

Which would be SS Lysandre and mega gyarados

[tardy fiber]

Im so happy if we get sycamore , my future fairy team already complete...just give me magearna or enamorus that are tech/striker

[sturdy flower]

Magearna would be nice

i like beams

[signal halo]

I wish poison didn't need Nidoking to shine

[mental skiff]

Roxie

[signal halo]

Nidoking hits like a drifting bulldozer

[rare swan]

Just remember we have #1009554906568462476 guys, if you want to talk strategies for it

[tardy fiber]

Even if sycamore power boost doesn't give crit, still no problems...most recent tech/striker units can self buff crit nowadays

[signal halo]

But he isn't poison

[tardy fiber]

I cleared poison weak with allister before this

[signal halo]

He's offtype as well

[sturdy flower]

this is all in the spirit of saving gems!

[signal halo]

My current goal was set and it ended up not aligning (completely) with the set of rules I had set

[uneven pewter]

Well end of the day

[signal halo]

I want comfortable on typing with all types

[uneven pewter]

Just remember the meta is always shifting

[signal halo]

I don't mind something stronger appearing

[uneven pewter]

If you look back from January till now

[signal halo]

As long as what I have is more than enough

[uneven pewter]

We have seen some megaladon levels of power creep

Absolutely

[signal halo]

So I'm not looking to keep up to date with meta trends

[mental skiff]

true meta is love hence go for fav all day everyday....

[sturdy flower]

You will get things by just playing longer

[lunar topaz]

I’m glad power creep doesn’t matter in this game

[tardy fiber]

Just look at psychic meta shift.... lear then mewtwo mega appears then necrozma then deoxys

[signal halo]

I just wanna have something strong

[sturdy flower]

Don't you have Ash?

[chrome nest]

I’m glad there isn’t for f2p

[signal halo]

Yes, ash fits the bill for electric

[chrome nest]

Because clearly the best f2p is palkia

[signal halo]

Even if he's power crept somehow one day

[sturdy flower]

18 types in the span of not playing for even a year is greedy

[signal halo]

Yes

[sturdy flower]

so just take it slow, save

[rare swan]

As long as we are focused on Saving Gems 😌

[signal halo]

But I'm in a good position, I'm inclined to believe

In half a year, uh

[sturdy flower]

there's also some depth in minmaxing parameters for your current strategy

[tardy fiber]

The best f2p for me is hop...atk+def+crit+potion+freevenge+will get in the future

[sturdy flower]

and going for runs that have a "chance" to succeed LG style

for example any run that requires MPR2 on TM has about a base 50% chance

if you don't stack too many of these chances it's a matter of only a few retries

and now we can retry way faster too

[mental skiff]

they will release CS ultra hard soon.... Dont wish for things to be easier, wish you have better skill

[signal halo]

Grass, Electric, Dark, Dragon, Water, Fighting, Ground, Rock and Ice at least somewhat solved, with question marks on Steel, Poison, Fairy, Psychic, Flying, Bug and ghost

[mental skiff]

hope new year has some content tho

[sturdy flower]

as long as rewards get updated too, i will love it!

[tardy fiber]

Time to unlock CS level 2 badge

[mental skiff]

[mental skiff]

get more champion spirit

[signal halo]

Psychic likely only needs Giovanni EX

[sturdy flower]

i really wouldn't mind if they added some optional grind for f2p

get gacha units or grind to upgrade your... eggmons?

or some units locked behind grind that are on par with spotlight+

[signal halo]

Flying is a question mark, but I have 3/5 150 EX darach, so I could be overreacting

[tardy fiber]

3* gears for those that missed that gear type event before this

[signal halo]

Bug likely needs an aoe spatk debuffer like 3/5 karen or CIris, so I can 3/5 EX alder and solve it

Ghost needs something, I don't know what, but needs it and the same goes for poison and fairy

Steel is odd with kgrimsley, but I guess I can live with it, specially since I also have 1/5 raihan

[tardy fiber]

Aoe sp atk debuffer? Good news surge does that and his grid will arrive in 2 resets

[signal halo]

Does he do double drop?

[tardy fiber]

Oh wait is it single target

I need to check

[signal halo]

I mean an aoe spatk debuffer

Which both 3/5 karen and 1/5 ciris are

[tardy fiber]

Scrosa also debuff spatk

[signal halo]

Was skipped

And I'd give priority to CIris

Since grass really isn't in need of much, if anything

If I somehow struggle with grass

I'll just 3/5 SS lyra

I think my safest bet is hope for 3/5 karen

[tough oriole]

Eerie Impulse is -2 by default

[signal halo]

Can he do it aoe?

[tough oriole]

No

Who needs aoe anyway
Focus on left for first sync, then middle for 2nd sync

[tardy fiber]

Ok tested, scrosa sweet scent make aoe sp attack -2 debuff

[drowsy saddle]

Why wouldn't it?

[chrome nest]

I’m quite sad rillaboom didn’t have grassy glide

[tardy fiber]

Well Highlander was asking of unit that can aoe-sp atk and i forgot if my scrosa sweet scent procs it

Or only seed flare

So i test as prove

Is it wrong?

[drowsy saddle]

If a skill doesn't specify "attack move", it's any move

[tardy fiber]

Am i wrong for testing my unit

Before i give answer

For a question

[tough oriole]

If it makes you feel better, drum beating doesn’t have reduced power but snipe shot does

[chrome nest]

! How

[drowsy saddle]

Tbh you deserve a medal for this

[drowsy saddle]

Older unit, older standards

[chrome nest]

No wonder why palkia spacial rend is weaker than aeroblast

[tardy fiber]

Because later people will attack me just like sync orb and sync stone again

If i give wrong information

[hard wave]

Personally I just use ss steven so im not too worried about getting gio’s EX but the kanto VA rerun would be nice since he’s the only one I dont have. More psychic gear would be nice as well since mine is lvl 3….

[sturdy flower]

you say "attack" I say "aggressively correct"

[tough oriole]

I just use Bianca and Lodge N

[hard wave]

dont have N

Atleast my bianca is 3/5

[drowsy saddle]

It's learning!

I'm just used to the descriptions providing all info you need by now, so I cut testing unless it's a new data. Does mean I add uncertain "I think" from time to time, but that's how it works.

There's nothing wrong with testing if you don't know the answer

[chrome nest]

I remember using gio and it was so annoying

His standards are like max sp atk and lowered sp def

[tardy fiber]

So me testing scrosa first before i confidently replying that she works is good?

[drowsy saddle]

Yup

[tough oriole]

I’m the person who types 2+2 into my calculator

[drowsy saddle]

Can you trust it though?

[mental skiff]

same

[tough oriole]

Can i trust myself tho?

[mental skiff]

Math team let's goooo

[drowsy saddle]

Are you able to trust?

[tough oriole]

I didn’t think this convo would come down to me wondering if i have trust issues

[mental skiff]

critical thinking course?

[hardy creek]

guys, this is becoming more about team building than resource management, which would probably be more fitting for #916852389347196958 or something

[tough oriole]

Ummm trust is like a resource that must be saved

I don’t trust myself to save it though

[signal halo]

I ended up starting the topic due to trying to set some goals straight

I guess I shouldn't really worry about ghost pairs due to allister being a thing, should I?

[hardy creek]

it's okay to mention how certain stages can be cleared with f2p pairs or something, but once it becomes in-depth discussion on how to clear them, it's better to move to strategy channels

[signal halo]

I think this might end up being a way to choose how to allocate my next EX picks

[tardy fiber]

Or Helena

[mental skiff]

always use Giovani

[tardy fiber]

Be like me and only EX faves, that's why im stuck on 44

[mental skiff]

i stopped ex for meta... Now it is all about the fav

[tardy fiber]

Still got 140

Unused

Might use later on bruno for fun

[drowsy saddle]

All legends+ are at least 20/20, right?

[tardy fiber]

Oh right talking about ghost units, agatha grid arrive in 2 resets

[tardy fiber]

Yep mew and bp master units

Already 150 as well

[drowsy saddle]

Five BP units, Oak, three LA units, that's nine total, something doesn't add up.

With 44/52 being EX

[sturdy flower]

Isn't your Rosa EX?

[mental skiff]

just calculated gems count i might have to skip 25 gems on master day... I will have 10,930 on 31th and i need 12000 to pity winter banner before 5th Jan

[sturdy flower]

check if you won't get any lodge achievements in the meantime

[lunar topaz]

I think it’s because Dena finds crit worth nerfing BP meanwhile Spd debuffs don’t do much of anything

[sturdy flower]

but new event should give you enough too

[mental skiff]

1,070 gems tho

[drowsy saddle]

1.1k in 5 days seems doable, especially if you have general mission left

[mental skiff]

No i dont

[tough oriole]

In the past, moves like Mud Shot were also discriminated against.

Nowadays, moves like Surging Strikes or Ash’s sync have perfect crit rates yet no debuff

[drowsy saddle]

Read it wrong, I'm not like Vantner, I don't double check

[mental skiff]

100 gems general mission on 5th

Miss 1 interaction

[drowsy saddle]

How much do you get from generic log-in bonus by then?

[mental skiff]

I already add 10 gems in

just wonder the daily log in + event will give enough in 4 days

[drowsy saddle]

10 gems?

[mental skiff]

Log in 250 day reward

[drowsy saddle]

Ah, I meant generic daily log-in

The one that loops

Since it doesn't change

[mental skiff]

80 gems

Ah you mean the pop up daily when you first come

I dunno i log in everyday so kinda keep the pace with gems count sheet

[sturdy flower]

you really should be able to get enough

1st will have a gem bump

[mental skiff]

in course of 1st to 4th

[sturdy flower]

hope there aren't any january units you want

[tough oriole]

||Which banner are you saving for?||

Istg that’d be so cruel

[mental skiff]

Im saving for pal rerun

[tough oriole]

They really need to rework seasonal reruns

[mental skiff]

But i just got impulse pull 24.600 gems on winter banner

So i need 12k to pity

[sturdy flower]

you impulse pulled on one of the most cruel banners

[mental skiff]

i got 2 nessa spotlight this month tho and she is fav so i fall in winter banner

i planned to skip winter rerun because it has Leon but well... things happen

[tardy fiber]

Yes that's why 43..42 faves + rosa

[tough oriole]

Wonder if mc solgaleo will get ex… considering how all LA units have had roles in VA, I think it’s possible

[tardy fiber]

Hope i can revert back her

[tough oriole]

But we need f2p alolan options

[tardy fiber]

Hope so, it will be nice especially iirc solgaleo grid have free move next after sync

[drowsy saddle]

Weren't there 44?

[tardy fiber]

Would make his sync much better

[tough oriole]

I want it to get rising tide

[tardy fiber]

Oh right so 43 faves then

Plus Rosa

[sturdy flower]

i wonder if MC Solgaleo will get Alola alongside some new clothes

that would be cool, but DeNa... we will see

[drowsy saddle]

Got you an extra fave)

[tardy fiber]

If BP master units get ...that will add another 5 in my list

[drowsy saddle]

Imagine getting a region theme skill
This post was sponsored by Pasio gang

[hard wave]

I was going to save for lillie and did 3 multis on that banner….

No calyrex tho

[tough oriole]

Lear trio should get “Far off Land” theme skill, since that’s where Lear is the prince of

[tardy fiber]

Paulo with Pasio Flag Bearer

[sturdy flower]

no

Paulo is unBearer able

[tardy fiber]

Hope they add more original characters

Other games can do it just fine

Team Break admin or something

Or new badge leaders for PML 2

Just don't do persona 5 collab

[mental skiff]

stay sane my friend

[tardy fiber]

Big gems today right

You want to reach pity or stop?

[mental skiff]

yes 3900

[mental skiff]

I will wait on 4th to decide

[uneven pewter]

Stay strong my friends

The selectors are coming

Dailies are lies

[tardy fiber]

24k gems are already too huge investment to just let it be ...not like cheeky 1-2 multis

[uneven pewter]

Seasonals are succubi

[mental skiff]

no paid gems no worry

[uneven pewter]

Elaborate

[mental skiff]

[tardy fiber]

Normie already put 24k gems in that seasonal banner

[hard wave]

Well luckily its only 3 more resets so im going to try for Lillie and then N

If I can get lillie early atleast

[uneven pewter]

Did normie learn a lesson?

[mental skiff]

yes

[uneven pewter]

[tardy fiber]

Thats why i ask Normie if want to continue till pity or not

24k is too big to consider cheeky multis

[uneven pewter]

It’s unfortunate but we’ve all been there

[mental skiff]

I have weak spot for seasonal and my lesson recently is you got what you want tho

I went rogue after pity cynthia and got reward tho

[hard wave]

I kinda wish they just did multiple banners like one w skyla and erika one w rosa and siebold one w leon and nessa etc. instead of 4 or 6 in one, rates r way too low

[tardy fiber]

Truthfully i didn't get entice much on seasonal unless fave...their kit looks lackluster than pokefairs or master fairs

[mental skiff]

I like weak unit

It make the game more fun

[tardy fiber]

Time to invest on story pairs and 3* 4* units

[hard wave]

I only have one seasonal and one sc (not including anni 2 or anni 2.5)

[mental skiff]

already there

[tardy fiber]

I have 2 seasonal and 5 sc

[hard wave]

But I kinda like calyrex, usually dont pull on seasonals tho

[mental skiff]

9k gems is enough

You should give up

[tardy fiber]

Calyrex at least have unique glacial spear animation

[hard wave]

Ye im not going to pull more (hopefully)

[uneven pewter]

Seasonals are always hold out for a selector or have a pity

The tiered pulls are never worth it

[hard wave]

Ig ill try and have a pity next year, im f2p so select scouts arent an option

[tardy fiber]

But yep seasonal super scout rerun banner feels bad...now it feels like if you didn't get the unit on first release, better wait for select

Or pity

[hard wave]

Maybe they’ll give us a free seasonal of our choice like the pokefair one last yr

[tardy fiber]

Next year the rerun pool will become even bigger

Even less rate

[mental skiff]

i can only select scout on 4th anni as last backup plan for seasonal marnie scout

[tardy fiber]

For a specific pair

[mental skiff]

get 2 summer fav

[hard wave]

By next year they’ll prob have spotlight rates tbh

A bit higher at best

[mental skiff]

Hope they will make monthly season scout

[hard wave]

Nvm its 0.076% per spotlight

[maiden kayak]

ngl

i starting to think poma day dailies are not worth it

since i have most units that i want

[sturdy flower]

i'm still getting upgrades, but might stop at some point

[mental skiff]

If you have 2950 free gems and 50 paid gems does it count as 1 multi

[tardy fiber]

I still have 0/5 looker, gordie, melony, hugh, colress...so i cannot see myself stopping soon, also probably be way longer as DeNa releases spotlights consistently these days

[tardy fiber]

Yes for me but different for others, it depends on how you value paid gems. Paid gems are indeed valuable for me but if i still need a multi to reach pity and i got 3k paid gems and 0 free gems on last day of that fave banner, I won't hesitate to use my paid gems

[mental skiff]

Do we allow to do that?

[tardy fiber]

Also because i keep buying 3k paid 20 days deal everytime its available

[mental skiff]

Combine free and paid for normal banner?

[tardy fiber]

You rather miss the unit you already pour 33k free gems to? I won't...thats why its better to not get into the banner at all if you cannot form pity

[mental skiff]

No i asked if you can combine free and paid gem for like a multi on a normal banner

[tardy fiber]

Well paid gems can help reach the gems needed, but it still depends on how you view your paid gems...like i just count in total because i will use paid gems to reach pity for a fave if needed

[mental skiff]

I dont ask if it is good or not i just ask if you can do a multi with both free and paid gems.

[tardy fiber]

I already said can

[mental skiff]

Oh i see

[tardy fiber]

Paid gems can reach the gems needed...first sentence

[mental skiff]

In specific case where you only have 2950 free gems and 50 paid gems. Can i do a multi?

[tardy fiber]

Yes

I did that before

[mental skiff]

ok

[tardy fiber]

On sc pokewar first run

[mental skiff]

Ok then i have a layer of backup plan

[tardy fiber]

Yep but that depends on how valuable you viewed your paid gems

Well 50 cannot even buy anything paid gems exclusive

Even poma day need 100

[mental skiff]

No but it will help if i miss like 50 gems to reach pity

[tardy fiber]

Yep that can help

[tardy fiber]

Just like what i said in here

Bottom sentence

[mental skiff]

[hard wave]

Ill prob keep doing them, im missing 7 spotlights and only have 22 at 5/5

Tho its been months since I got a 5*

Iirc the last time was july or august

[tough oriole]

11 isn’t too bad for me, and i’m in a situation where i can afford to do so

[tardy fiber]

Yep that really helps especially during skip month, as i need to fill the monthly quota of 200 to convert to 20

But man, i can only promote about 2/3 4* to 5* a month...i still have 49 left, so around 2 years

Maybe i should 5* bp pairs first...only left bpzinnia, bpsophocles and bpcandice

[hard wave]

Im doing my lodge, bp, and EXable pairs rn

I think I have around 50-60 total tho and im still missing 2 lodge pairs, team rocket, and bugscy

58

[tardy fiber]

I missed lodge raihan, lodge cynthia, jessie, james

[hard wave]

Lodge cynthia and N for me

[tardy fiber]

Woohoo 2 pities

Also another f2p lodge pair so that's another 2 faves getting to 150

[mental skiff]

Datamine on Jan 1st so im in grave danger

More certs

[tardy fiber]

I thought that's the date for dev letter

How can datamine on 1st if 1st already started with the ny events and new stuffs

[upbeat lotus]

Datamine on 25th/26th depends on time zone

[tardy fiber]

[mental skiff]

Oh

I thought dev letter is update

[tardy fiber]

I just hope that lodge dawn doesn't mean it will be dawn power boost

Where's gladion power boost?

[lean mango]

I was hoping for Lisia alas

[mental skiff]

👀i would like they add SS dawn into Lodge tho

[upbeat lotus]

a pokefair will get 5/5 grid

[mental skiff]

So i dont have to worry for rerun

[upbeat lotus]

according to the dev letter

[tardy fiber]

Neat

[upbeat lotus]

how about
Lodge Dawn
Power Boost Lisia?

[lunar topaz]

I want dawn grid expansion

[lean mango]

Power boost Lisia would be lovely

[lunar topaz]

Give her towering force and furious brawn

[upbeat lotus]

and her role is changed to striker

[mental skiff]

i think they will add Lance since his alt will comeback

[upbeat lotus]

[tardy fiber]

Gonna hope that the pokefair is gloria

[mental skiff]

Gloria power boost pls

also no important things on 4/5 5/5 grid

[tardy fiber]

Lysandre have a nice grand entry 2 for 2/5 and N got tm followthrough...i kinda hope at least one of gloria 2/5 grid will be usable

[lunar topaz]

Aoe sync

[grand bramble]

Update in 2 reset....the earliest before new year

Seems like Dawn might be the next seasonal

[lunar topaz]

This grid has more DPS based tiles than it does supportive ines

[grand bramble]

Lemme tell you... I don't have any Dawn's alt......at all

So... I might skip her again

[lunar topaz]

Maybe they’ll give us dawn piplup from lodge

[grand bramble]

Ahh

I know that one

[summer goblet]

With 3000 gem present

I have reach another milestone

Feeling a bit more confident getting my 2 favs this month

[grand bramble]

We had a whole week left before new year...... Wow

[summer goblet]

Well, its my Christmas gift

A very nice milestone

[grand bramble]

Based on the letter again... There's a free unit will join in the rooster

Just like Naomi and Helena

[summer goblet]

sweet

i would like to add depth to my roster

[tough oriole]

I love gems

[summer goblet]

so do I

[tough oriole]

Also rip to my mc looking like me lol

[tardy fiber]

Gems made my poma's dreams come true ...||well because pulling a banner unit cost gems||

[summer goblet]

wonder if there is customization that will make him look like Ash

with the spikey hair and stuff

that would be cool

[tardy fiber]

With that customization, i might just keep Scottie MC base design...as i named my MC Scottie and his base looks is kinda canon for him like in the promotional video trailer

[tough oriole]

So game update is on same day as lillie rerun… istg if there’s like a lillie super ultra fair that costs more scout points
