Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[broken mulch]

I hate seasonals

[mental skiff]

wot happened

[lofty relic]

disappointment

[uneven pewter]

The worst for me are special costumes

[cunning swan]

reached 80k gems!

come at me January, I'm ready to most likely skip

[uneven pewter]

Especially with how inconsistent reruns are for them

[lofty relic]

yooo gratz!

[mental skiff]

[lofty relic]

i'm at 85k myself we're so close

[south scroll]

Nice

[mental skiff]

Dont they rerun like season but + 2-3 month

[uneven pewter]

So we thought

But thus far we’ve only had two rounds for them

And the tea party group has only ran once

[lapis pine]

Something I’m finding now that I’ve been playing for a while and I have lots of favs that I like using is that I get discouraged on pulling new units because they would replace my fav units. I really love Bede and the only way I’d use lisia for fairy teams is if I kicked Bede off my fairy team so I’m not really tempted at all to pull her because I would want to use her.

[mental skiff]

👀tea pot rerun soon tho

[lapis pine]

Idk if that’s something other people have experienced

[mental skiff]

Imagine heart has many parts each part for one character

Since poma i had many new fav tho currently Jasmine appreciator

beside you can change params tho

[reef river]

This game made jasmine very likeable

As soon as i heard her say CLANG out loud with a voice she jumped like 50 places

[mental skiff]

this server too since i love this emote

[keen nexus]

Not yet for sure. I already calculated what I will get this month and gonna have at least 431 something like that. Regardless of that, I'm glad that Sycamore getting EX on Feb, I think. I'm good with that!

[cunning swan]

Sycamore EX finally real

I love his colors

[hard wave]

Same looks much better than I thought it’d be

[mental skiff]

He turn to midnight form tho

[cunning swan]

an upgrade!

does anyone know what this is? is it that New Year's Poke Fair Ticket Scout?

[mental skiff]

x 7

[grand bramble]

Yea... I dont like this....

[cunning swan]

maaaan, I prefer last year's ticket scout because the featured pairs were Steven/Lance/Cynthia and I had none of them back then

[grand bramble]

I remembered getting 2 pokefair in this

[cunning swan]

looks like I won't be missing much even if I don't pull a featured pair there

[mental skiff]

not even 1 multi 7 pull... It is everyday

[cunning swan]

I swear if the scout gives me SS Leaf ||when I already have her 5/5|| I'm gonna flip

[robust plaza]

Gem count. I had 40k earlier but I did a thing. Back to saving

[lofty relic]

nice!

[robust plaza]

So many dead multis. This was my first seasonal banner

[mental skiff]

put medal on and customize character

[robust plaza]

Oh yeah I’ll get to that

[mental skiff]

Better be pretty

Love the main more after we get character customization

[viscid flare]

VA looks to be a 2 parter

No lysandre alt

[sturdy flower]

what about the drip!?

[maiden kayak]

based

[robust plaza]

[mental skiff]

better 10/10

[sturdy flower]

hope that's coming later on

[robust plaza]

Changing hats is just the start

[wind nymph]

14.6k gems pog

[sturdy flower]

they will see how much we like it and add more!

[mental skiff]

i like it

[sturdy flower]

now i want more reasons to play mc

[mental skiff]

Love fashion game ever since toddler

[robust plaza]

Maybe main character customization can be ex

[hard wave]

Same but w SS Blue, I wouldnt mind my 4th or 5th red or my 2nd+ leaf tho

[mental skiff]

Ex allow us to change clothes color

[reef river]

Give us protag hats

Let me wear brendans hat

[mental skiff]

you get rosa hat tho

[cunning swan]

oooh yeah, Alola VA will come with protag EX

that would mean they would need to make EX color for the hat and the visor at least? since the headwear is customisable

[vestal leaf]

🙏 here's to finally hitting 200k before part 2 drops

I've been saving up paids for a while after getting the 18k paid pre third anni

[tawny cedar]

I have only 1 question left for this update

Is there 6k gems in the first 10 days of January.

[lofty relic]

very likely yes

we already have 4k left this month

and early Jan is packed

we get 300 daily just from the new year login

[tawny cedar]

I CAN PITY CCALEM

[flint sparrow]

no way, how did you change your hairstyle?

[unborn pier]

new update

[flint sparrow]

i only have 3 options in edit look, maybe it hasn't rolled out for me yet

[south scroll]

It should be up in the app store, download the update from there

[sweet tide]

gem breakdown and daily gem count updated

[unborn pier]

29k before NY pairs leave then?

[grim plover]

i may be able to reach two pities at the end of january

but im thinking of pulling just to get wally and copies of anni steven or hleon

[little briar]

Woo, almost 50k

[mental skiff]

30,460 from Jan 1st to Jan 26th

oh i just reliazed... 105 Kalos ticket

Nice to collect

[fallen path]

It’s gonna take a while till 4th anni with all the regional tickets I’m collecting

It’ll be fun when the ticket pool is updated

[deft glen]

35k gems till the end of January wow

[sly breach]

Wait lisia giga impact aint recoil

[deft glen]

If I save I'll get to 89k

[reef river]

Gonna feel good using kalos tickets in 8 months for shauna and maybe malvw

[round mason]

Where drasna

[sly breach]

And why tf is it lisia and not lisa

[deft glen]

||only thing that tempts me is Diantha cuz she would solve my Rock type issues||

But I'll probably skip everything

[cunning swan]

Forgotten

[deft glen]

I have to be very careful when we get to Kalos territory

[mental skiff]

Kalos VA probably in July or August (Anni) seem like i have to save hard for it

[round mason]

what

[reef river]

kalos va is now

Do you mean galar?

[mental skiff]

Galar yeah

[reef river]

Europe is all the same so its ok

[mental skiff]

Tea party, Summer, Anni and Kalos VA have chance to overlap my death sentence

[sturdy flower]

Europe is a country

[viscid flare]

350 paid for 1 dollar is good deal?

[vestal leaf]

Not really anymore

With the advent of 3k for 3 dollars every 20 days

The economy got pretty different

But 1050 for 3 is still very nice

[hard wave]

How many gems do we get this reset?

Nvm

[sturdy flower]

3k for 3 dolla is great, going to buy it this time around

[wind nymph]

Honestly I might only pull if there's a lysandre alt in va but since there's none my gems are safe hehe

[sturdy flower]

Lysandre might be on part 2, because it would be strange for protags to get alts again right away.

[vestal leaf]

He's also so majorly prevalent in the art

It would be very questionable for him to not get an alt

I'm also expecting more gen pools aside Shauna maybe

[lunar topaz]

I wonder if I’ll have enough to pity diantha

[lofty relic]

yes

more than enough

4k 'till jan 1
31k 'till jan 29
Diantha goes away March 6

[sturdy flower]

Drasna and Malva alongside Kalos CSMM would be cool

[strange topaz]

Hello, I will probably come here in the future to avoid wasting paid gems

[lunar topaz]

[sturdy flower]

SS Diantha and Lucas could swap release dates and it would make more sense

[viscid flare]

The thing is i only have 3k paid and i really want to select ss brendan and maybe ss korrina

Since they were on my want lost

List

Who could be more likely to rerun on a free banner?

[sturdy flower]

both are as likely

we also dont know all the units from these banners

there might be more

[vestal leaf]

i'd say brendan might rerun less soon

[tough oriole]

SS Korrina would be likely for a Uxie gauntlet, seeing as she’s the only Ghost Fair, but SS Brendan I’m not sure

[viscid flare]

I know but i dont care about the others

[vestal leaf]

and might be paired with ss may

[viscid flare]

I only want those 2

[vestal leaf]

which is a net loss

[tough oriole]

VA units don’t rerun very often nowadays

[vestal leaf]

in most cases

[viscid flare]

Except red

That mf is here every other month

Hope the select lasts long since i just bought my second 20 day pass

[strange topaz]

Yeah I myself am thinking about this too for select scout b. Having to choose between korrina and Brenden. Dawn’s already been featured before so I’m not worried

[tough oriole]

SS Dawn has?

I can’t remember her ever rerunning normally

[strange topaz]

Paid yes normally no

[sturdy flower]

they dont want to pack them into triple

[viscid flare]

I just want those 2 have to pick one

[south scroll]

Woah we're getting almost a full pity this month?

[feral vale]

31k, just 5k shy away, but yes.

[deep yacht]

How much is pity again im drawing near 33k and wanted to know

[torpid prawn]

To reach pity, you'll need to spend 36,000 gems on 12 Multis Scouts to reach 396 scout points.
You'll then need an additional 4 scout points.
100 Paid-Only Gems Daily Discount Scout gives 1 Scout Point.
300 Gems Single Scout gives 3 Scout Points.

[deep yacht]

Oh ty!

[timber wren]

using only free gems it’s 36.6k

[hard wave]

So many pairs to save for

Im going to have to have to wait another year for leon cuz there’s too many other pairs I want

Oh and not included but base cynthia and n as well

[mental skiff]

you have big big plan gonna take several year to complete as f2p

[hard wave]

I started in february so if I played earlier I mightve gotten more of them

Hopefully some of them rerun in the same banners……

[mental skiff]

some pokefair might rerun same banner yeah

[hard wave]

Diantha and Leon r prob going to be the hardest to get tbh

For master fairs all the ones I put would be nice but mostly lillie, ethan and ssac

If only seasonal rates were better tho…..

[mental skiff]

MF isnt that worrysome right now tho may be they will start kick in gradually after anni

Seasonal rerun rate << MF now so bassically pity too

[hard wave]

Wdym

[hard wave]

Also if I had to limit this id say DGloria, the pokefair supports and ssac, lillie ethan and sc diantha

[mental skiff]

Waiting for their age surpass 1.5 year old at least for MF

[hard wave]

Iris and Hilbert r good debuffers, the others techs r zone setters, I do like calyrex and rapidash tho, and the tech mfs zerena and lussa arent too necessary ig

[hard wave]

Leon has surpassed 2 yrs tho hasnt he?

[mental skiff]

yeah i say at least not definitely

[hard wave]

Oh

[sturdy flower]

Leon is in a complicated situation

[mental skiff]

So he has chance to drop every month now.... Heart atk

[sturdy flower]

they can't really record new lines for him

[reef river]

At this stage they are definitely holding him for galar rerun and hopefully a gmax expansion

[mental skiff]

[maiden kayak]

#poma-questions

[grim plover]

oh ok

[maiden kayak]

please delete that

thank you

[mental skiff]

Goal till 26th: 31600 Gems

[lean mango]

I'm not gonna count the gems I'm gonna lose so I'm gonna have 3 pities lfg

[mental skiff]

i tried to count as pity before... I will lose drops of gems gradually. With clear number it is easy to work with

[mental skiff]

New planning system

[hard wave]

Is this more reasonable

I still do want some of the ones I removed tho

But not as much

[mental skiff]

Seem more possible to archive you better save gems for November & December (Anni May, SS Ethan) and have at least 1 pity by your side for triple feature scout tho

[reef river]

What site are you guys using for that?

I have a hard time remembering what pokefairs there has been ive skipped

[mental skiff]

Limited sync pair of AR? It has link bellow "Make your own at:..."

[reef river]

Oh i see

I couldnt see it at a glance on mobile

[hard wave]

Ill try but im rlly bad at saving there’s always atleast one pair I like per month as well

[mental skiff]

same tho

[hard wave]

Btw the lodge units (cynthia n marnie raihan) r all missing from this

[mental skiff]

That why we also has future scout list to better prepare

[hard wave]

Im just hoping we got more triple banners tbh

The rates r pretty decent usually

[hard wave]

Ye but I dont have pairs I want if they were to release, I just see the new ones and I end up liking atleast one

[mental skiff]

SS Dawn, SS Cyrus, Alt Iris, OG Red, Ingo, Pakia Guy has good chance for triple banner tho

[hard wave]

Pakia?

[mental skiff]

Sorry the guy in Sinnoh i forgot the name

[hard wave]

Lucas?

[mental skiff]

[tardy fiber]

13 reruns

[mental skiff]

Yeah

[mental skiff]

Only 5 actually... i can start collect seasonal selected scout since Anni and take some triple banner if good in gems

[hard wave]

I wonder if we’ll ever get the chance for a free seasonal like they did w the pokefairs

Would be nice cuz I wouldnt have to pull for a 0.25% HLeon next yr….

[grand bramble]

Yea.. I see... The rates are getting low everytime they added new seasonal

[hard wave]

Yup and unless u pay for the select scouts its only once a year

[mental skiff]

I can see a free seasonal give aways soon with outdated pair but not too high hope in it. And definitely no Hleon since he just came last year

[hard wave]

Atleast SCs might rerun more so I can get SC Diantha

[hard wave]

If they did it towards the end of the yr maybe they’d include him? Idk

[mental skiff]

lower than spotlight 5 star next winter

[mental skiff]

doesnt she just got rerun last anni

[hard wave]

Yes but I had to pity ash and couldnt go for her

[mental skiff]

Next is tea party tho

[hard wave]

Well I got him in the last multi but still

[mental skiff]

[hard wave]

I dont mean rn but they might rerun more than once a yr

[mental skiff]

hope so i would like Sc Hilda

[hard wave]

Tea party one seems kinda tempting tho; lillie is a good support in a region with 6 (atleast 5 star ones), and ingo emmet would help alot with physical bug

[mental skiff]

But it will devour a pity tho

[hard wave]

But my sc sonia is 3/5 so

[mental skiff]

[tardy fiber]

Sc hilda with ss diantha team

Gonna be just like diantha with sswally

[mental skiff]

[hard wave]

Oh also r the tech MFs worth it? Lyra and Red seem rlly useful and even N seems pretty good

I have cynthia and serena already

[tardy fiber]

The only tech MF we having currently is anniN

[mental skiff]

Rock looks good tho i said i wish a rock without sandstorm and they gave me although i dont like her so no pity

[tardy fiber]

Diantha is a pf

[hard wave]

I mean for the future

[tardy fiber]

Depends on the kit

[mental skiff]

||New Diantha is MF|| tho

[tardy fiber]

We don't know how the future tech unit kit will look like

[hard wave]

I mean for lyra red and n

Is it worth to get n rn (or another rerun) and the other 2 on their rerun as well?

[mental skiff]

Ss lyra, OG red and SS N?

[tardy fiber]

Kinda MF not gonna lie

[deft glen]

it's not

[tardy fiber]

Have zone and buddy move

[mental skiff]

Oh no|| MF beside Anni ||in Jan i see

[tardy fiber]

Yep

[mental skiff]

good for you

[tardy fiber]

They might throw a bunch on part 2 like johto VA

[mental skiff]

[tardy fiber]

Both mf and pf costs 36.6k

[mental skiff]

2 legendary this month?

[tardy fiber]

Higher rates are lies

Only 1 for me

[hard wave]

Sst and anni n

[tardy fiber]

Shiny diancie

[mental skiff]

Ah true tho

[tardy fiber]

Well sycamore will be an icing on the cake for me

[mental skiff]

||Sst||?

[tardy fiber]

At least not skip month like December

[mental skiff]

Ex Sycamore is nice

[sturdy flower]

||Sygna Suit Tierno||

[mental skiff]

[hard wave]

Sygna suit (thunderbolt red)

[tardy fiber]

I hope kalos VA didn't have many faves as pretty sure alola VA will have a lot

Need to save some gems

[hard wave]

The current tech master fairs, r they worth pulling for? I have cynthia and serena already so not them

[mental skiff]

they are good but kinda lame to play tho

[tardy fiber]

Depends on how your roster look like

[mental skiff]

Since too strong

[timber wren]

if you like anni N then you can go for him but always have pity

but also he lasts past the next update so if you’re unsure just wait for next update to decide

[mental skiff]

True tho Jan 26th is thursday

Datamine

[hard wave]

Well rn I can only pity lillie, maybe diantha or iris if I get her next multi

Too many pairs I want this month

[mental skiff]

Diantha run till March tho

[timber wren]

keep in mind half anni is not far off either so it’s wise to save rn if you can

not next update but the one after

[hard wave]

Ye but the others I want (lisia, n, hleon, and cynthia) will all be gone before I can get enough for pity

[deft glen]

last half anni had like 14k worth of select scouts, right?

[mental skiff]

Give up on HLeon

[hard wave]

I did

Tho I may have done some singles…. Bad idea

[mental skiff]

Yes

It will spiral into some multi and all gems

Story of me

[hard wave]

~~it wont if I dont have any ~~

[tardy fiber]

Oh cami, does February also have big gems last year? Or March is the one thats high? Because most of half anni stuffs on march iirc?

[mental skiff]

Feb last year is 40k+ tho

[timber wren]

that was bc of half anni

[tardy fiber]

So half anni stuffs already started on February?

Half anni on 28th feb isnt it?

So i thought most stuffs will be on march

[timber wren]

keep in mind the counts done by tlim/jass/shiro are by the update version and the counts done by chest and myself in #1010223517565976737 are based on calendar month

[mental skiff]

Huge gems dump because of victory road

[timber wren]

so half anni was the march update but the gems were front loaded at the end of feb

[tardy fiber]

I see so half anni pairs will be revealed on late January datamine or late February?

[mental skiff]

March undocumented 18k gems so...

[timber wren]

the former counts are based on datamined info, chest’s counts are done post-month to account for extra gems that weren’t in the update like RT rallies and bug fixes

[hard wave]

R zone units and debuff units like Alt iris and dgloria generally good to pull? Cuz besides SC Diantha those r all the techs I want

[timber wren]

late feb

[tardy fiber]

I see, so i need to take care of my gems a lot... especially due to kalos VA only have 1 event badge and only sycamore without power boost are kinda sus

Kalos VA part 2, potential fave for palentine and half anni...back to back

[timber wren]

you’ve been dealt a good hand these past few months for saving for your goals yeah

it’s just diantha rn right

[tardy fiber]

Yep

Also skipping whole December except poma day 125 gems really helps

[timber wren]

wouldn’t be surprised to see volcanion or shiny xern/yveltal in feb

[mental skiff]

Dojo more striker than tech... I find she isn't helpful since she out damage the pair she support kinda like Lucas

[tardy fiber]

80k+ gems currently

And still not yet 1st Jan

The 31k gem count starts on 1st Jan iirc

[timber wren]

we won’t recommend pulling for kits in here. ciris at the time of her release was groundbreaking but now the roles she fills are common in a lot of units

[mental skiff]

Pulling for kit outdate pretty quick tho

[hard wave]

So ig I shouldnt save for any of the techs I wanted?

[tardy fiber]

Yep due to this pulling because faves are better.

[mental skiff]

Fav > meta

[hard wave]

Except sc diantha maybe

[timber wren]

she can’t self buff and her sync damage takes forever to set up. she debuffs well but so do a ton of other units

[timber wren]

do you want them bc you like iris?

[hard wave]

Sc diantha?

[tardy fiber]

Either the kit is bad or outdated due to time, everything is forgiven due to being a fave

[hard wave]

Kinda but mostly cuz of her utility, same w all the other techs I want

Diantha tho I kinda like her and keldeo

[mental skiff]

only good tech i see right now are mostly spotlight unit

[tardy fiber]

Sounds like a fave reason and not meta reason...i would choose diantha if its like this

[grim plover]

januarny will be my second save month, how you resist the urge to pull

[mental skiff]

60% fav 40% gameplay is good tho

[tardy fiber]

Pulling a unit because of meta reason will always made them easier to be replaced if a fave that do the same thing or better appears

[tardy fiber]

By thinking what fave unit i will lose, if i wasted gems before and i didn't have gems on hand to reach pity

[hard wave]

What about weather supports?

[mental skiff]

1.Make a list of fav
2.Do Math to calc gems
3.Talk about unhealthy habit to avoid

[timber wren]

like iris’ utility aside from a big sync is shredding offenses. which janine does perfectly well for free

[grim plover]

the thing is i will have enought for 2 pities at the end of january and when i see so many gems i lose the fear of no gettin a fav (and my favs get alts once a year max)

[tardy fiber]

I like DeNa recently, alt for whitney and lisia i cannot even imagine that happens before

[timber wren]

no new variety scout either, a good sign

[tardy fiber]

So those eeveelutions from before are rare

Still sad that rachel didn't get eeveelutions boost in their event

Bp karen got it smh

[mental skiff]

Variety is definition of bait

[tardy fiber]

I will bit if its full of legendaries 🎣

They will just gonna be like bp master units or mew

I still invest on them although no

[mental skiff]

Ask me to spend gems for only pokemon model

[tardy fiber]

Faves are good

[mental skiff]

although yeah eevee kinda carry tho

Hope sylveon will have better trainer in next variety

[cunning swan]

I must admit I ||bit the Variety banner bait to complete my game male protag collection. Fortunately it only took me 2 multis||

[grim plover]

all males are worth pulling for

[upbeat lotus]

Im happy that Diantha stays until March so i can wait for February datamine

[deft glen]

me too

[cunning swan]

That's so generous, ss diantha's banner lasts for a looong time

[glass abyss]

||SS Diantha, I am probably going to pull her||

Wait she’s here until March?

[tough oriole]

Maybe spoiler that in here

[glass abyss]

?

[upbeat lotus]

Dont talk about pulling, unless you spoiler it

[glass abyss]

Oh okay

Honestly I might just save if she’s going on for like 3 months though

I looked at the other banners in this month and I know I am not pulling on any of them, so I am good with that confidence

A little bit of temptation with Diantha down the line since I like Gardevoir but I can’t really justify it imo so I believe I am passing on that

[signal halo]

I'm a bit concerned about my next pull choices

Even though I already have the pities for it and will have an extra by the end of January

At 85k rn, I shouldn't have large issues with gems, but since the pulling might be tricky to sort out, I feel like I should ask

So, the primary choices for me would be to pull for Colress and pull for Hugh, who are my big faves lying around

The gauntlet banner will have steel, so I have higher odds of getting colress there, as well as also odds of getting an Unova pair for collecting

[drowsy saddle]

Are there any faves you plan to summon for this (next) month? Limited ones.

[signal halo]

Do I need to spoiler it?

There are two different banners, one for collecting purposes and the other to solve my biggest deficiency when it comes to available pairs

[drowsy saddle]

Mm, I don't think it is necessary - we're discussing saving for faves, not just pulling for the sake of pulling.
You can spoiler it if you feel like it would be better that way.

[signal halo]

So, alt iris is the collectible one

And NY Lisia would solve once and for all my fairy issues

[drowsy saddle]

Remind me, which banner is Iris in?

[signal halo]

I really don't wanna clear csmm with sycamore again

The gauntlet one

With diantha and gloria

[drowsy saddle]

Hm, perfect scenario then? You still have that plan about pitying Colress if you get a featured unit pre-pity, correct?
Now you'll just have to make sure he's in the pool when the banner airs. Just in case.

[signal halo]

Yes, he's already featured in all pools

So he should be available

I fear diantha wouldn't be particularly amazing to have as the fairy solver

She gives me the feeling she'd be worse than say, base alder

[feral vale]

Colress ||came home for me||, so yes.

And I don’t pull for Gen pool spotlight scouts.

[signal halo]

Yeah, I am waiting for a banner that would be a certain upgrade

I noticed I still don't feel comfortable about fairy, so January isn't a skip month

Fire ended up in a weird spot too

[feral vale]

Eh, I think it’s a skip for Fairy.

[signal halo]

I don't wanna use sycamore any longer for dps

[little briar]

Rn I'm just waiting on a possible Dojo Gloria rerun or NY Volkner rerun too

[signal halo]

Sure, EX might make him slightly more comfortable

[little briar]

Raihan too for the Lodge but that's about it bar them cause all my faves don't exist in the game or don't have alts yet

[feral vale]

Have you seen datamine? NY Volkner’s coming.

[signal halo]

But he takes up extremely important supports to work

[drowsy saddle]

Doesn't he only need crit though?

[feral vale]

I think so.

[little briar]

Oh joy, now to just see if it's a select or not. If it's not, I may skip on it hmmm

[feral vale]

Maybe Attack if needed faster.

[drowsy saddle]

You do lose some pre-sync damage, but you can double strike afterwards.

[feral vale]

Not a select.

[little briar]

[signal halo]

Currently I use him with SS Kris and Lucian

Likely would change to Sonia and Lucian after he gets EX

Still takes away my only consistent spdef debuffer

And one of my stronger supports

[tough oriole]

Do you not have OG Volkner? (Or are you using Lucian’s nuke)

[mental skiff]

hope i can get Lucian soon

[mental skiff]

only 100 gems today... Great day

[viral delta]

Mmm do I pull for Lillie now or wait until I get enough gems for all 3? Mmmmm (I currently have enough for 2 pities and January gives me enough to reach 3)

[exotic sparrow]

Free gems for doing survey

[lean mango]

Yooo

[feral vale]

OOOOOHHH

[upbeat lotus]

300 gems

[feral vale]

A SINGLE

Lmao

[mossy pecan]

[mental skiff]

Freeeeee

[upbeat lotus]

huh when do we get these survey gems?

[tough oriole]

In late January

I hope the game knows that I took the survey… hopefully it’s like UNITE where just clicking on the survey button, even without submitting gives you the reward

[upbeat lotus]

lol

i did it too

[tough oriole]

||I would have submitted the surveys in UNITE, but I can’t answer the questions with a drop down menu, they don’t open. It’s a shame, I’d have liked to give feedback||

It’s great that this game listens to feedback, if only I had remembered to put “Add Preset Lucky Skills” in my survey response

Sorry guys about this, btw

[mental skiff]

[upbeat lotus]

we needs Wes and Micheal

[mental skiff]

Start to add them to fav list

[lunar topaz]

N
Lillie
Serena
May
Steven

[wind nymph]

14.9k gems pog

[mental skiff]

So we have 300 compensate for Hilbert's Bug and 300 for survey?

[split thicket]

Hey, do we have any info on the upcoming gem prices?

[tardy fiber]

I gonna fill it with Palmer Regigigas again

[cunning swan]

quick, list out your copiums

[tough oriole]

Mustard, Peony

[tardy fiber]

Paradoxes lets goo

Juliana and Florian

[upbeat lotus]

SS Sonia & GPonyta

[signal halo]

I do have Volkner, I use Lucian for the spdef drops as well as some defensive extra with the attack drops. I don't use Lucian's nuke, otherwise it would defeat the purpose of having a fairy on type clear

[tough oriole]

Ig that makes sense, but Flinches, Paralysis, and Electric theme skills would probably make things more in Volkner’s favour

[signal halo]

Wait, I was on a fairy on type run

What does electric have to do with it?

[lean mango]

Time to write Eusine for every box

[mental skiff]

they will discard troll reply tho

Better stay honest

[lean mango]

Fine, I'll keep him only for 1

[mental skiff]

hope they will release the chart after survey end tho

winner receive an alt

[lean mango]

It'll be a popular character with multiple alts

[cunning swan]

Do you think if I keep saying Yellow every year, one day they'll listen

I answered her too last year

[mental skiff]

yellow is in game?

[tough oriole]

I thought the conversation was on NY Volkner, but I suppose you were talking about Sycamore in hindsight

[lean mango]

I'll be here everyday waiting for the character I want

[mental skiff]

[tardy fiber]

In Oak we trust

Where 300 gems

[lean mango]

Late Jan

[violet nebula]

Comes at end of survey

Patience, it's only 300😆

[tardy fiber]

This gems is separate from the gem calcs right?

So 35450 gems left to obtain from this datamine

Would be a nice addition to my current 81,170 gems

[violet nebula]

So 4 pities, nice

[tardy fiber]

But got 1 fave this month

[violet nebula]

Eh chance you may not even need a pity😄

Literally had good luck myself lately

[tardy fiber]

Hopefully kalos VA part 2 and half anniv pairs smells like legendaries/mythicals/UBs

Might need bunch of gems

[violet nebula]

Least there be 6 months to save for 4th anni

[tardy fiber]

Last anniv only have 1 fave, shaymin. Half anniv much scarier as it got latias and tornadus

[violet nebula]

Yea that 2.5 anni was brutal... still trying to 3/5 the techs😅

[mental skiff]

i just need to scout for Pal Marnie, Summer Marnie, selected scout Summer Gloria, prepare 1 pity for Ss Kris then i will completely free from rerun. 3 more pity till completion

[tardy fiber]

Nice you can get there free from rerun is always a good goal

[tardy jolt]

Me asking for the 99th Cynthia alt

[lean mango]

[tardy fiber]

Ss judgement cynthia arceus

[tough oriole]

Volcanion does seem very fitting for Team Flare after all… Or they could do Shiny Hoopa Unbound

[tardy fiber]

Shiny hoopa unbound can be a good reason to port hisui in poma, well or just arceus decided to visit here

[sly breach]

Wait any news if we get rerun of serena and zyguard

[signal halo]

Yes

Gist of the talk was that I don't really wanna resort to sycamore anymore

As my on type fairy carry

[upbeat lotus]

No news so far

[split thicket]

There's a survey offering gems?

[broken mulch]

Yes, link is ingame in the news

[split thicket]

It's not in mine tho.

[reef river]

Use the survey to complain about poke fair grids

[cunning swan]

Quick everyone abuse this question

[tardy fiber]

I just do Lusamine and Rose, plus Giovanni and Ash

[cunning swan]

I did Blue and Silver, my two favorite rivals that bit of them interacting in Bede's event is so sweet, I want more

[reef river]

I did Masked Royal and Crasher Wake

[tight bison]

I don't have the survey in my game notices

[cunning swan]

You didn't see this?

[hard wave]

I dont see it either

[wind nymph]

i didn't get the survey gems for some reason

😭

[upbeat lotus]

The gems are given in late Jan

[lapis pine]

I will have to give up my collecting shinies goal since I don’t like lisia or diantha and their kits in the slightest. It was never a super serious goal but still :(

I think it’s important to limit my pulling criteria though

[reef river]

My goal for january

Is to have 0/400 on all 4 new banners by the end of the month

[violet nebula]

But... are Lisia and Diantha good?

A fairy physical hitter seems nice

But rock is stacked and can use sandstorm to power some of the rock pairs

[lapis pine]

Yeah they’re good but like, who cares lol. We get broken units every month

[violet nebula]

True😆

Love the expansions

[cunning swan]

Mina exists for physical fairy

[violet nebula]

Though Cynthia already got one🤔

[cunning swan]

Requires some support but still manageable

[violet nebula]

True

[broken mulch]

Make my OTP real dammit

[cunning swan]

You have taste

[maiden kayak]

#1006350210450079784

[reef river]

I picked Masked Royal & Crasher Wake

[livid rover]

Nooo I don't see this anywhere too how can i scream into the void for my two absolute faves to interact even tho its prolly just me who wants them to interact

[vernal glade]

Gem update: 53k. Halfway to 100k

[feral vale]

Gawd I am such a simp

Bonus

[tardy jolt]

Wish they’d release the info of these surveys, I’d like to see how closely they followed the info from the last survey

[violet nebula]

Probs ignored it

This is just a gesture... they'll follow the way of the whales ultimately

[glass abyss]

I will need to take this

Wait is this an official survey?

[sturdy flower]

yep

[glass abyss]

I took it

Asked for Drayden and Bryon

[lean mango]

I was gonna put Morty in my survey,, but he's got enough alts so Klara hype less goo

[reef river]

Did guzma/rosa/klara/arven/flannery/skyla

[lean mango]

Did Eusine/Glacia/Lisia/Colress/Geeta/Klara

[unborn pier]

I think I did Guzma/Courtney/Zinnia/Volo/Penny/Ingo

[reef river]

Actually i swapped flannery for professor kukui in the end

Sorry flannery

[little briar]

I put Guzma/Mustard/Peony/Klara/Drayden/Chuck and favorite I think was Gumza or Mustard

[deft glen]

I asked for Irida and Arezu

I wish I'd put her at first place

[tardy fiber]

Gonna be low gems reset till 30th

[glass abyss]

I put Drayden/Bryon/Blue/Brendan/Norman/Red

Oh wait, I put Steven over Red

It was so hard to choose because I also like Lt Surge and Volkner

[summer goblet]

i'm hoping i can get 400k gems in total just to pat myself on the pat before investing back into my favs

[glass abyss]

Nice

[tardy fiber]

I'm glad that I didn't stop buying the 20 days basic 3k gem bundle, if both upcoming selects have the units i wanted, poof 2 months of 20 days bundle will be gone like that

[nova lynx]

Currently at 21k gems now

But I'm conflicted on whether I should pull for SS Diantha

Or pull for both SS Diantha and NY Lisia

[tardy fiber]

Pull your faves and skip non faves

[summer goblet]

do you love Diantha and/or her pokemon to consider using her alot

and do you struggle rock types so badly that you willing to risk a pity for her

[nova lynx]

Well I'd really like to have her then I could have a double diancie team

[summer goblet]

i will say, SS Diantha will last till March

so you have plenty of time

[nova lynx]

That's a good point

[summer goblet]

NY Lisia on the other hand ends early

so do you really really want her so badly

[nova lynx]

Yeahh I like Lisia and I also struggle with fairy weak

So I thought maybe

But hm

[summer goblet]

all i can say is, see if you can save up to 36k gems first and right at the last day

[nova lynx]

Right

[summer goblet]

and if you still feel like you want her still, then yeah you can pull for her

that's how i usually roll, don't pull now and just wait on it to see if the feeling is still there

[nova lynx]

Then I'll save up to 36.6k first and see from there

[summer goblet]

but make sure you save

[tardy fiber]

Oh right i forgot that ssdiantha have long duration, maybe got a unit you wanted in kalos part 2

[summer goblet]

i know right

that's like Lucas last year

[nova lynx]

Hopefully not

My gems are dreading the day that Alola VA comes so I'll have to save once I get Diantha

Or if I don't

[tardy fiber]

Also like johto VA, part 1 only have ssmorty and ssgio...part 2 poof 3 MF...ssethan, sskris, sslyra

[summer goblet]

yeah, gotta be ready for it

[tardy fiber]

Also palentine units will also be in the next datamine

[lean mango]

Oo, I'll be able to reach my third pity when NY Lisia happens

[tardy fiber]

How many faves you got this month?

[sturdy flower]

SS Morty wasn't part of VA units

so part 1 only had Gio

but this time we have 2, one of which is a spotlight

[tardy fiber]

But he appears in ssmorty suit and not in normal morty suit

[sturdy flower]

hope Emma becomes playable

[sturdy flower]

yes, but he has his own event

[nova lynx]

He was meant to be a Golden Week unit

But "coincidentally" happened to be close to Johto VA

[tardy fiber]

They had to include him because ssmorty shiny ho-oh is such a good pair to silver

That silver sought after him in VA

Kinda special because even in lussamine event, Lillie uses lunala but she didn't use her anni outfit

Morty uses his ss outfit

[sturdy flower]

he really wanted that hooh

whenever i see my character in the team builder I'm like "Who's this?"

[tardy fiber]

I already sorted my faves to be level 140 and non faves to be 135, so the one that showed up in team builder are the units that i used often

As i sort it by levels

[sturdy flower]

i meant Bettie

[tardy fiber]

Oh probably would have that problem if you use all eggmons, i only use shiny eggmons

Their roles are fixed

Have striking colors as well for easier identification

[lean mango]

1 definitely

I'm waiting for feb datamine to decide on the other favs I'm not too sure about

[hard wave]

Is there a list of what each of their roles are

[tardy fiber]

Need to see #1006331343300473022 and see eggmon compendium

[tardy fiber]

Same 🤝

[chrome nest]

Guys help

Anni N is coming this reset

And I have 25K gems

I’m making those “questionable” decisions again

[tardy fiber]

He is still here till February 6

Plenty of time to question decisions again

Even outlived next datamine info

But out of the 3, he is the one that is still reliable

Others are good as well but both having super effective kit,making them much more lean towards on-type stuffs

Unless you want to slap zone on them to force them offtype

[chrome nest]

It seems like a lot of unit rely on zones or weather or terrain to be good off type

Or is that just what people think

[tardy fiber]

Yep 50% boost on damage is not to be underestimated

[broken mulch]

Lol

[tardy fiber]

Hurm i got 22 3* support move candies

I guess i gonna use those on the new NPC pair

As it will be a hassle to grind much, because i have 0 ny pairs

[oak crest]

I actually left the trainer question empty

[sand crown]

Is the new NPC pair confirmed as 3*?

[oak crest]

Since I have no preference with any trainer except not liking Paulo

[tardy fiber]

Yes because have both custom and custom

Oh i just noticed got 3* grass gear event

Buff to my sslyra and scrosa

[sturdy flower]

huge buff to SS Erika

her base atk is tank tier with a giant multiplier in sun

[broken mulch]

Oh dang

[tardy fiber]

About time, i almost finish 150 ssethan and only gonna work on sslyra next...then will finally 150 all MF faves not sure if i should go seasonal route next or special costume next

[cunning swan]

good taste

[maiden kayak]

is the New year gem deals out?

[tardy fiber]

I think absol posted about it

But still worse than thank you deals

[lofty forge]

2 more hour before N rerun.... I legit have my hand so tempting on blind pull some how

Have anyone goes though this

[chrome nest]

I am still contemplating on pulling Anni N

I am sure reckless

[lofty forge]

I have 22k gems for N

Probably enough for him

[cunning swan]

you sure will have enough to pity him

[tardy fiber]

Enough as he will be here till 6th February

[cunning swan]

just don't look at the banners. swipe until you see the daily scout and exit

[chrome nest]

I have 25K gems

[cunning swan]

staying at the banner and staring at the shiny MF there will only tempt you longer

[lofty forge]

🤡 i blind pull despite everyone stop me

And got hit with disappointment

[tardy fiber]

I cannot blind pull as i already have my faves criteria set ...but i admit, i was blinded by meta before and grabbed palmarnie and palbea

[oak crest]

Hmm why blind pull tho, unless the other banner have smth featured that u really want

Back to saving for me ||after I'm done pulling after this reset||
Have been hovering between 3rd and 4th pity recently

[cunning swan]

well, that's what you should expect most of the time

[ashen thunder]

Guys should I consider rolling SSdiantha?

I rly want to see c!blue perform his best but I don't like diantha's kit and would defo bench her the moment rock gets another zone but zones take too long to drop like none of em don't have a replacement yet(except dark)

Also I actually don't mind rolling diantha herself, it's just the kit is very mediocre for me (especially at 1/5 since I ain't candying her even if I roll her)

Anyone give any suggestions?

[cunning swan]

set your expectations to always pity, so once you don't, you get pleasantly surprised

and it prevents you from doing YOLO pulls

[sturdy flower]

I always ask myself "Do I want to spend 36.6k gems for this unit?"

[cunning swan]

if you just want the rock zone, then no need to candy her further if you do choose to grab her

[sturdy flower]

she could be fun, but could also be annoying as she fills way too many roles herself

[ashen thunder]

Well I can't candy her anyways, the problem is for a zone bot she feels mediocre since without extension at 1/5 and b move takes forever to proc

[sturdy flower]

that's from my point of view, i check how much fun i will have when using the units

[cunning swan]

ah, the ss cyrus curse of doing too many things at once

[sturdy flower]

she would be better with extension and 5/5 is too much of an investment

because it gives her one more turn in the zone

[ashen thunder]

C!blue already support heavy for me

[tardy fiber]

Oh this is like me with palmarnie, i pulled because i want to boost solgaleo/hop/gloria but she wont be 3/5 forever because not a fave...so in summary, i regret pulling her like why pull a unit if no reason to 3/5 and invest on the unit later...also sounds like a meta reason because you kinda pull just for rock zone, in this situation, probably waiting is for the best and she have long banner duration till march

[sturdy flower]

3 moves in zone instead of 2

[ashen thunder]

Coz he demands both physical and spl

And running diantha on top limits my options

[sturdy flower]

i really don't have any rock units that I like personally

[ashen thunder]

wish they just release a lucas/Lyra for every zone

Coz free move pog

[tardy fiber]

Ssdiantha kinda more leaning towards physical damage rock as her buddy move +2 def to all allies and -2 def to all enemies

[sturdy flower]

diantha is cheap gauge wise, but also doesn't do much when her zone runs out

[ashen thunder]

Aerodactyl is so cool
Too bad the zonebot is very expensive to run

Yea but physical/spl support doesn't have good gauge

Closest is Giocat post panic button

[tardy fiber]

She's better to boost your schilda than cblue, as shilda can benefit with that def buff due to towering defense

[ashen thunder]

But I don't have schilda and I never will

And I want cblue at his best

[tardy fiber]

She got tm catalytic,give move gauge accel once

But that need 3/5

[ashen thunder]

Hmmm

[cunning swan]

but like you said, CBlue demanding heavy support already limits your options when one slot is reserved for the rock zone unit

I think it's better to wait and see if another rock zone support will pop up, like CCalem with dark

though that will take a while

[tardy fiber]

Just use non hyper beam build cblue

[ashen thunder]

Why would I not use hyperbeam
It's the chad move with cool sfx

Can't even use dedge if I use support ex

[tardy fiber]

Pair with ssmorty, no gauge issues and crit issues ever

[ashen thunder]

SSmorty, c!blue, ssdiantha

Sounds like waste of SSmorty

[tardy fiber]

Well i gonna use regirock, ssdiantha, schilda team ... scdiantha does buff speed and crit to self...and with 3 rock type, rock type teamwork passive gonna go brrr

[ashen thunder]

I'll just wait for JP players to drop cblue runs with ssdiantha before rolling

[tardy fiber]

I checked cblue kit and he can self buff everything that he needs...also buff self speed if uses his tm after mega, also got sands of time 2... Both him and ssdiantha have sands of time 2, would be good if you have ingo

Would fix their gauge demands

[ashen thunder]

I ain't pressing his TM

I want hyperbeam in T1

[tardy fiber]

Well then i guess only you would know if you needed ssdiantha or not based on your playstyle

[ashen thunder]

Coz if I was pressing TMs for 3 whole turns, there's no point in saying it's his best team

In a less optimal team he's very self sufficient since he can +6 both offenses and +3 crit before sync himself

But the problem is

When I try minmax, he wants a heavy support

[tardy fiber]

Yep heavy support like ssmorty or ingo but you said its a waste of ssmorty, if you want to use 2 supports, you cannot put ssdiantha

So

Use ssbrendan support, +4 spatk +2 crit also spdef debuff...but no team speed buff

[ashen thunder]

But my nuke

Blue sync is physical

Which is why I am running shit like elio or Giocat often

Tho for pure rock weak stuff I just use a special focus support

It's annoying that ssdiantha kit is so halfbaked for a zonebot due to long animations

[sturdy flower]

Palentines Olivia and Olivia grid expansion please

give her some non sand stuff becaue Lycanroc isn't really what i think about when I say "sandstorm", at least not the midnight form one

[tardy fiber]

Give double down 5 or super powered 5 on these old units, it will fix a bunch of less damage stuffs

[chrome nest]

I’m tempted

[sturdy flower]

what tempts you my child

come here and confess

[tardy fiber]

AnniN i think

[sturdy flower]

when I started playing he was the top rated tech

[chrome nest]

Yes

[sturdy flower]

now it's easy to name many better ones

[ashen thunder]

He's still top tier

But then
It's fire type so

[hard wave]

Many units r very tempting this month for me; cynthia, anni lillie and n, HLeon, ny lisia, ss diantha, and the gauntlet banner (I have 1/5 diantha)

[sturdy flower]

it's mostly the issue of Blaziken being more comfy and having more useful debuff for quick clearing

and also doubles as sync accel unit

[hard wave]

Ill just be going for lillie and lisia tho, maybe diantha since she’s staying for a while

[ashen thunder]

Well blaziken has more comps than anni N

Only comfortable comp for anni N is like
Ghetsis/ciris, anni N, SSmorty

And if you replace SSmorty, anni N can't even nuke since you need a tank(none of the tanks debuff offenses yet)

If you are willing to allot resources
Anni N totally fine tho

[sturdy flower]

yep, it's purely favs pull now

you have to love him to make him work

basically

and if he works he works well

[ashen thunder]

Well everything is fav pull for fire

Coz silver powerboost

[sturdy flower]

and many have 1/5 ssred from when they started/victory road

[tardy fiber]

Yep if fave just pull if can form or have pity

[sturdy flower]

to "add to the fire"

[ashen thunder]

Tbh I personally find SSred very comp restricted as well at 3/5

[tardy fiber]

Like i still pull faves even i already got a lot of same typings...like my psychic/fire/dragon faves

[ashen thunder]

Silver is more lenient

He wants physical buffer and sun

Silver can somewhat go by without sun

Psychic, fire, dragon
The trinity of overpowered bullshit

Water is close but Cyrus is not base water so still need to gacha a bit

[sturdy flower]

but without power boost using ss red 1/5 with ex buff clears all fire easily

[ashen thunder]

Yea

[sturdy flower]

Cyrus is so darn strong though, i can probably offtype any stage with him that isnt wise entry

[ashen thunder]

He isn't base water
It means I can't make him work without specific supports for theme skills and shit
Also water ebes

I also prefer dragon post boost anyways

[sturdy flower]

yes, water ebes are awkward

[ashen thunder]

Like theme skills are amazing too

[tardy fiber]

I hope going forward, all Future EBEs have type boosts and not just regions

[ashen thunder]

A striker and tech together is free 54 atk

[tardy fiber]

Type boosts really helps

[ashen thunder]

Cyrus just can't be abusing it in his water mode

[sturdy flower]

theme skills are more important for Silver, his atk is much lower

[tardy fiber]

Oh i forgot to check if Kalos VA part 1 have EBE or not

[sturdy flower]

it does

[ashen thunder]

Well silver doesn't have that issue
Run Blaine and he gets it

[sturdy flower]

i wonder what they will do to stop Sycamore

Horn leech is physical, Diantha is physical

[ashen thunder]

Sycamore powerboost with team sharp entry 3, team toughen up 6, team berserker bunch 6

That's all I ask

[sturdy flower]

you ask for a lot

[ashen thunder]

They gimped ghetsis

So they damn better make it up for sycamore

[sturdy flower]

i feel like we might get some new mode/content update on half anni too, because all units will have grids exactly after february

[ashen thunder]

If only ghetsis got devastation

[sturdy flower]

i like Ghetsis power boost

it's still ok

that mgr 9 REALLY helps

enables more comps

[tardy fiber]

Ouch only boosted for Kalos

[sturdy flower]

same with being able to self buff albeit it takes a long time

[ashen thunder]

It's only 50k HP mid

And no entry passives

Just dps sycamore it

[vernal glade]

Not even tough skin or FF

[sturdy flower]

Remember Syca has EX boost too

[ashen thunder]

Yea ghetsis got qol stuff

[sturdy flower]

im surprised there's no wise x2

[tardy fiber]

Well just gonna use evelyn+nita+ssdiantha

[ashen thunder]

I'll just keldeo it as usual

[sturdy flower]

...if you are using ss diantha then there's nothing to talk about

[vernal glade]

Perhaps I can get those gems with Zerena

[ashen thunder]

Or zygarde

[sturdy flower]

it's literally designed for her

[ashen thunder]

Since zygarde has impervious

I remember impervious shuts down the ebe gimmicks

[sturdy flower]

Sycamore has impervious too

[ashen thunder]

So sycamore is bis tank

[vernal glade]

I do tend to plan to remove flying zone to hopefully get those 600 gems

[tardy fiber]

Need to remove the zones, good if you guys have ccalem as well...i skipped him

[ashen thunder]

The flying zone is before 2nd sync
Just don't drag the fight that long

It should be ez without removing zone anyways

[vernal glade]

I have only SSA Cynthia that can get rid of the flying zone, if she can survive which I doubt.

[hard wave]

Can frogs clear this?

[ashen thunder]

As I said

It's only 50k mid

And no entry passives

[tardy fiber]

Frogs are OP so totally

[ashen thunder]

Clemont would nuke it

[hard wave]

Nice I should be able to clear it then

[vernal glade]

Hopefully I can clear it with Zerena.

I need those 600 gems to help reach my 500k goal

[hard wave]

Also maybe off topic but is there an updated double drop grid? I think it was replaced on the doc after he got his power boost

[tardy fiber]

I used zerena to clear Frog EBEs, she probably can clear this with less effort as this looks like easier

[vernal glade]

Even with boosted flying via flying zone?

[ashen thunder]

It's not in the doc?

Diantha was annoying to beat with zygarde

I had to fish for some Blizzard miss

[vernal glade]

Zerena wast barely doing any damage I thought those gems were impossible until May saved me

[ashen thunder]

Lodge may clears it

So

[vernal glade]

Regular OG May

I meant

[ashen thunder]

The problem is how comfy it is

[ashen thunder]

Hmmm, I usually build my own grids

So I don't know the exact dd grid
Maybe ask in #1009587872342478908

[chrome nest]

This is a nightmare

Or is it just to boost lysandre unintentionally

Flying zone set up

[sturdy flower]

the other EB will be harder, next month

[ashen thunder]

Why are people worried abt flying zone?

Most comps didn't even get to 2nd sync even in the previous ebes

And malva one is clearly much easier to dps down

[tough oriole]

Most people lack good kalos dpsers

[ashen thunder]

Clemont will be available no?

Consider that ticket is basically a 50/50

[tough oriole]

I guess, but i don’t most people have invested into him

Also, there are no kalos crit supports besides a mf and the one releasing next month

[ashen thunder]

I mean
The comp that's gonna drag the fight gonna be like bp clemont, sycamore and shit anyways

And sycamore has innate impervious so he isn't dying

If anything bringing an offregion option to defog before 2nd sync sounds less realistic

Also not investing on OG clemont is a sin in itself anyways

[chrome nest]

There’s always lysandre

[tough oriole]

Against a flying zone with aerial power 5 boosted (brave bird?), sycamore probably won’t do too well

Thankfully BP Lemon counters tough cookie

20% move Damage reduction under flying zone (Barrel Roll) is also gonna be annoying

[ashen thunder]

Yea but it's a no entry passive content

Nor TS

50k HP is not a lot to nuke down anyways

[tough oriole]

Better than nothing ig

[ashen thunder]

Bringing darach/lisia is just waste of slot

[tough oriole]

I think this is the first Zone EB that isn’t Type Boosted

[upbeat lotus]

the only one can take advantage of Rock Zone from Kalos is... Grant?

[tough oriole]

Probably

Anyway, Anni Lillie just appeared in my Poké Center, hope this is a good omen

Aight, time to start saving

[viral delta]

Should I pull for anni N now or wait until I have enough gems to pull them all at once?

[chrome nest]

I’m gonna shoot myself in the leg for this but I’m feeling a little reckless

[tough oriole]

Probably wait til the last second, what if there’s something in feb cooler than n

[ashen thunder]

Palentines N

And white kyurem

Coz fuck nate

Knowing Dena that could happen

Boi I’m about to take the shot

[viral delta]

I've already decided N is top priority gotta get all the unova dragobs, I'll probably wait till Feb to grab Steven and Lillie

[tough oriole]

How many gems do you have rn?

[viral delta]

90,530 I'm def gonna get enough to get all 3 it's just waiting for the events to come to get said gems

[chrome nest]

||With the result I got I’m not saving from scratch (finally)||

[weary spire]

been missing a lot of daily shit recently, can't help but think about items/resources lost

[cunning swan]

NOOOO EVEN NATE NEEDS LOVE

Pls dena

Nate alt

[grand bramble]

Look at my gems...

It's terrible

Guess I have to skip everyone then

[summer goblet]

its time to get to zenning

[grand bramble]

Yea.... I dont know... I dont have any NY units... Which means... I have to grind at 1.2x... Big time

[cunning swan]

Doesn't matter. I only have 1.2x multiplier on seasonal events almost all the time

Still enough time to clear all the good stuffs from the shop

[grand bramble]

Oh...... wow

I see

[tardy fiber]

Just use your 3* support move candies on the new free NPC pair, could save your time as you doesn't need to farm four copies of her and save yourself of 3200 NY event vouchers to farm

[grand bramble]

Oh... The candy wasn't a big deal... I can literally spend 4 of them

[tardy fiber]

Yep so can already clear it with 0 NY units

I also have 0 NY units

[ashen thunder]

It's not like another 1.4x gonna help anyways

When 1.2x doesn't help

[grand bramble]

Alright then

[chrome nest]

Anyways a question for the gold candy

Should I use it on Anni N

Or just leave it alone

[ashen thunder]

Do you want to sync with him?

Or you like him enuff

[tardy fiber]

Well at least got some use to convert to ...but 3* move candies have no uses other than candying new NPC pair as lodge pairs and bp units are all 4* and not 3*

[chrome nest]

I mean having almost all of his alts is probably “Enough”

[ashen thunder]

Then no

[chrome nest]

I’m like 15 candy coins away from another tech coin anyways

[ashen thunder]

I am at 0 candies
But all my techs and supports are already 3/5

[tardy fiber]

I got all version of Grimsleys but he isn't my fave

[chrome nest]

The spotlight curse

[cunning swan]

I'm sure almost everyone has all version of Grimsley

[ashen thunder]

I can't roll any strikers this year coz I want to candy garchomp and zekrom

[cunning swan]

I'm tired of him spooking me

[ashen thunder]

Hopefully they increase F2P candy influx

[tardy fiber]

I like if he appears for 5 times as that made him 5/5 but it starts to become stale if its already 10+/5

[ashen thunder]

My alola grims still 2/5

So I want 3 more

[chrome nest]

My ss grims is still 1/5

After a lot of tix scouts I did

I’m definitely surprise

[ashen thunder]

My tickets are cursed by Caitlin, jasmine and sonia

Ssgrim used to haunt me but he stopped post sonia release

[cunning swan]

I went from 0/5 of him to 5/5 pretty quickly

[tough oriole]

Same

I just want a single masked royal, but the game would rather not

[cunning swan]

Oh my gosh yeah, my MR was 1/5 for ages and I only recently got him 2/5

[tough oriole]

I didn’t have kiawe til less than 3 weeks ago, now he’s 3/5

[cunning swan]

Man, mine's still 2/5...

[tough oriole]

I got him on Dec 16, and got his 2nd and 3rd copy on the 26th

[vernal glade]

If N really wants another alt in February, count me in, I’ll pull.

[tough oriole]

I would have said no, but I think I’m in a good position gem wise if he did come

[cunning swan]

If by february you mean palentines, I doubt it. Palentines units have always been girls

Because of the tradition of valentines day in japan

[tough oriole]

Anni N (2023) Feb 28th

[ashen thunder]

N is best girl so he qualifies

[maiden kayak]

link?

[maiden kayak]

#poma-questions

[ashen thunder]

Isn't that more off a zen question
Coz it's just making my fav work

I already got the answer anyways

[tough oriole]

Your fav already works, just not super max damage

[mossy pecan]

Does anyone else find the Daily Scout on the banner on the top of the Home Screen then click that and then exit or is it just me?

[cunning swan]

that's what I always do

[drowsy saddle]

Doesn't that take more time? You have to enter shop for gems anyway

[cunning swan]

I scroll through the banners on top of the home screen instead of opening the shop and going to banners so those huge banners don't tempt me

[maiden kayak]

thanks

[lofty forge]

||Am I doing a mistake?
I got N at first 10x pull , but I ended up wasting 20k gems to get 3/5 N||

[upbeat lotus]

spoiler pulling comments pls

and that was totally a mistake

[lofty forge]

Oh well , should I just go for pity then?

[tough oriole]

If you have negative gems, then no

Even if you didn’t, still no

[upbeat lotus]

and 3/5 is enough

[barren nexus]

So i just got ||anni lillie on 396/400, i was told to use the pity to get a 2nd copy, but i rlly, RLLY want to get courtney instead,|| am i being far too stupid or will this just be an inconvenience i can fix?

[tawny dagger]

No point wasting gems past 3/5

[lofty forge]

I still struck at 1/5

That's the sad part.

[upbeat lotus]

she isnt worth candying

[lofty forge]

I was hyping that my luck could be today

[tough oriole]

[tawny dagger]

Oh so you didn't get 3/5

[lofty forge]

Only 1/5 on first pull yeah , and it went downhill after that

[tough oriole]

N in first pull is still 10% chances, don’t push your luck in future

[tawny dagger]

Well no point wasting gems

[lofty forge]

Should I just go pity then? I already wasted 25k/36.6k

[barren nexus]

So the answer to ny question would be to get the copy and not the new unit then?

[tawny dagger]

You are still 12k gems away from pity

That's a decent amount of gems

[lofty forge]

I mean I could save a candy

[upbeat lotus]

i meant get the new unit instead of 2/5

[barren nexus]

Ah, i see, sorry sorry, and thanks for the advice

[tough oriole]

Not really downhill tbf, you only had a 26% chance to get multiple Ns by that point
