Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[tardy fiber]

Change weather? luckily i have shiny tech tops, tech dos, tech jynx, tech lapras

Still no shiny tech toise

[cunning swan]

I still have no tech blastoise, period

Moltres isn't as menacing as you think. Our f2p weather setters may be limited but it's enough for 10 wins whenever it comes back in LG. Plus, you can always flinchlock if you're patient

[ashen thunder]

I hate eggmons with a passion

So I'll never use em

[vernal glade]

I hate eggmons too.

[tardy fiber]

I use them sometimes, but only the shinies

[limber stream]

Should I raise SS diantha or FIris to 3/5 first?

[vestal leaf]

Are you interested in fallister?

[reef river]

Same

[timber wren]

go with who you like more but personally diantha gets a lot more utility

[vestal leaf]

If you don't care about fallister go with whichever

If you like him consider saving for dual rerun instead

[ashen thunder]

Neither rly need 3/5 imo

Tech candies also have more noticable competitions than those two

[limber stream]

I don’t really have anyone else to give it to

I already did Anni Raihan, SST Red, Champ Iris, and Renegade Cynthia

[gloomy holly]

Hmmmmm, Emma or Lysandre? I already have Cerena

[rustic heron]

emma prolly, ||if you absolutely need to spend your gems that is||

[gloomy holly]

You can tell by my nickname

[rustic heron]

i guess

but you don't really need more water damage

it's already oversaturated

emma is nice for poison

[gloomy holly]

That's true...

[rustic heron]

• she's cute

[gloomy holly]

Well, I don't have a single limited poison unit

[rustic heron]

yea

i'd say emma is the better choice then

B poison fang is nice from what i've seen

[gloomy holly]

Well, I also don't have a single limited Galar and Alola unit

[rustic heron]

yikes

must be a pain trying to do EBEs from those regions

good luck with the leon one

[gloomy holly]

I'll use 3rd anni trio

[rustic heron]

guess that's the solution to everything

[lean mango]

Gonna say neither then

[rustic heron]

MAN i wish that emma and anabel were spotlights

anabel is the second banner to gain 0 revenue

first was the eevee day scout ofc

[lean mango]

wdym 0 revenue?

[rustic heron]

the only reason people are gonna pull for anabel is because they like anabel

nothing else is redeeming about the unit

lmao

||so it will make 0 people buy gems specifically for the banner||

[lean mango]

Isn't that the goal here tbh

[rustic heron]

i guess

[ashen thunder]

They are testing waters this month

[rustic heron]

||but i feel like they would want to make people spend gems pre-half anni||

[lean mango]

I don't even look at kits at all

[ashen thunder]

Like releasing less popular characters like Emma with broken kit

And more popular characters like elesa with even more broken kit

Just to see what people would choose

[lean mango]

Who cares about the kit, that Crobat tho

[rustic heron]

those kits are broken?

compared to what

[ashen thunder]

They are clearly testing

You haven't seen their kits?

[rustic heron]

i have

but like

we have sst red

we have ash

[ashen thunder]

Bruh

Anything looks like dogshit near those two

[lean mango]

So now every unit is shit then, your're comparing them TO SST RED

[gloomy holly]

Emma has a 230 BP move that is spammable every turn and it doesn't miss

[ashen thunder]

I have no idea why it's Emma

[gloomy holly]

And all her damaging abilities are guaranteed crit

[timber wren]

where is this conversation going

[ashen thunder]

Are their fans for her like hardcore ones in JP

Like with ingo?

[gloomy holly]

Not sure

[timber wren]

most of the new units this month have very good kits, like every month

[rustic heron]

[lean mango]

Pelesa is a striker right?

[gloomy holly]

Support I think

[timber wren]

she is strike

[ashen thunder]

Dps

With metronome

[gloomy holly]

Oh she is? Hmmmmm

Forgot

[lean mango]

Ah, tbh I like that it's different from a braindead striker

[timber wren]

all of the new unit info is in #1012256199128915968

[rustic heron]

gahhhh it is so hard waiting for so many months for fallister to rerun

why did they have to put both him and ss wally in the same month

[timber wren]

he could be in a select next month if you have paid gems

[rustic heron]

i HOPE so

||i'd pay 10k paid for him i don't even CARE||

[lean mango]

That's when the seasonal selects happen right?

[timber wren]

im waiting for him and summer hilda to show up in selects

[rustic heron]

||but even then i'd still prolly pull on the old seasonal banner in october||

because i want all of the old halloween units

[timber wren]

last half anni we got three seasonal selects with 4 units each i think?

[lean mango]

ah

[rustic heron]

even if they are terrible

...like mimirola

[lean mango]

I'm saving for Fall since so far each Fall has had a fav

[rustic heron]

based

also september is a Month and a half

...not literally, i just mean anniversary

we know how those go

[lean mango]

Oh boy time for me to skip em

[viscid flare]

Emma, we have a shitton of water units, not the same can be said for poison

Im saving for half anni and then will decide

[sturdy flower]

or wait for datamine

this might be bait

[viscid flare]

It definately is bait

And if it isnt, worth the wait

[sturdy flower]

I only want Emma if there's a select with Firis

because they will look good together

so datamine wait it is

[gloomy holly]

Not sure if the 3.5 anni units will interest me

[viscid flare]

Ill get emma cuz poison is well needed for my roster

She will help a lot

Lysandre's kit is also very enticing to me

[gloomy holly]

Unless enemy has SE x2

[sturdy flower]

I'm persuaded they won't ramp up difficulty anymore

[viscid flare]

I can deal with that

[sturdy flower]

you mean antitoxin

that's the one thing stopping her

[viscid flare]

Truee

The one counter

[sturdy flower]

they basically gave her high multiplier, upper mid stat and very high bp

[viscid flare]

Yeah shes good

[sturdy flower]

but the thing is

[viscid flare]

But koga can clear still

[sturdy flower]

Koga ex will be super good

[viscid flare]

And half anni can have 3+ unit

[sturdy flower]

in general outside of damage she doesn't offer much

[viscid flare]

She is a striker?

[sturdy flower]

and is bit annoying to use on many gauntlet battles

yes

[viscid flare]

I got like 5 striker candies

Is her grid good?

[sturdy flower]

not the right place to ask tbh

as usually, works very well 1/5

grid increases damage

it's kind of funny Looker's assistants are PF but he's spotlight

Kalos CSMM feels easier than Sinnoh and Hoenn

some of the tricks we will see already got used, like the Malva in 2 weeks is just Rock weak Flint

but with less hp on sides

so even units like Pal Elesa can do on type

(not alone though 😂)

[gloomy holly]

Do we have a CSMM with preemptive zone?

[sturdy flower]

i don't remember, but definitely weather

[gloomy holly]

Fighting-weak Wikstrom will hit really hard

[sturdy flower]

shame Wally and zone don't mesh well

[ashen thunder]

I'll just keldeo it

Bless Keldeo my MVP in every hard fight
I don't even have aura Cyn

[rustic heron]

my best fighting damage is bea

[feral vale]

Even without SSA Cynthia, she is still amazing

[gloomy holly]

I mean she is still one of the strongest sync nukers to date

[hardy creek]

Late but honestly, that's the driving force behind most banner pulls. Yes meta can get some additional pulls, but ultimately what makes a unit sell is if ppl like the chara or not. So pulling just because ppl like the chara isn't that different from most banners

[rustic heron]

mmm fair

[tough oriole]

Yea, that’s why Lillie, Steven, Cynthia, Morty, etc. get so many alts

[lament hornet]

morty being a part of this crowd still puzzles me

if it wasn't for poma i would have no idea he's so popular

[vestal leaf]

In poma he got an extra boost by being voiced by a god seiyuu for all the weaboos and jps

[hardy creek]

morty's always been p popular, he's the gen 2 boy

[lunar topaz]

He and jasmine

[lament hornet]

jasmine isn't a boy

i always thought of lance or silver as gen 2 posterchilds

and clair felt popular to me

[lunar topaz]

I meant he and jasmine are the most popular of Gen. 2 woops

[lament hornet]

no i understood, just made a minor joke

i'm surprised silver is still without an alt

like he's got into lodge cool but

[sly breach]

I have seen the future, older blue and red will run in alolan VA

[rustic heron]

how would that work

[sly breach]

Ultra wormholes

[rustic heron]

fair

[hardy creek]

I'll take it because that would open the door for emerald anabel

[timber wren]

and Good Lusamine

Lusamine before they gave her the Stepford Wives juice

[nocturne spade]

I’ve seen ppl say this character was in hoenn where was she in that game?

[timber wren]

battle frontier iirc

she had a much more androgynous look

[nocturne spade]

Interesting

[lament hornet]

meanwhile me, wanting classic archie

[tough oriole]

I just want an interaction between Anabel and her former colleagues, kinda like the one between Lusa and Mohn

[lean mango]

One thing I wished with Anabel is that they could've had her sync be a Z move, so it isn't just Redlax's mechanic all over

[lunar topaz]

There’s only 2 of them in poma right Lucy and Noland?

[rancid vale]

for hoenn frontier brain yes

sinnoh frontier brain has darach and thorton

[tardy fiber]

Kinda why i think that they are saving frontier brains to replace Chatelaines...we almost done with chatelaines, probably just need 2 more anniversaries

And some frontier brains does use legendaries too

Fitting for bp master units

Spenser suicune with water teamwork

[lament hornet]

dahlia

[tardy fiber]

But i do hope Palmer won't be a bp master unit though, he even appeared in poma trailer video

[summer goblet]

I don't mind

if it means saving gems

[hardy creek]

if they wanna add frontier brains as BP then they need to hurry up the BP pair addition rate 🚶🏾‍♀️

[summer goblet]

nah, they will take their time

how else will the game last long

[tardy fiber]

If they follow that route, last MC bp master units probably on another 2 anniversaries...for following years they will release 2 frontier brains per year instead

As there's only 2 chatelaines left...and its 1 chatelaine 1 MC currently

[hardy creek]

I assure you frontier brains aren't the make or break of this game can last a while

they can make the game last while also not waiting a decade to add a character

[tardy fiber]

True, probably in the future there are more frontier brains like trainers in future mainline game...so even more materials for poma

[summer goblet]

well there is the issue of needing to recycle popular characters to ensure the survival of this game so they take priority over new characters

though i hope it won't be a decade cause that would be ludicrous

[tough oriole]

Absol-utely updated the log in bonus; we can now confirm that the Champion Select Ticket is free from a log in bonus. No work needed

[deft glen]

Nice

[hard wave]

I hope we get these more often if they do its prob going to be 2020-2021 pairs

[rustic heron]

is it really only one day?

seems a bit unfair to people who don't play daily

[drowsy saddle]

Look at the image again

[rustic heron]

american moment

lmao

[tardy fiber]

Thank you DeNa, i love you, i gonna claim Cynthia with it, thats if lance/steven are not March lodge guest

A new guest to level 100 = enough certs to level 150 2 pairs

[lament hornet]

me who pitied cynthia

[tardy fiber]

i didn't pity her because she is not a fave, well at least ssrcynthia is a fave

[lament hornet]

i'm still torn between steven and c iris

[tardy fiber]

Pick the one you like more

Both typing already have decent enough f2p coverage

Theres already solgaleo, hop, molayne for steel and cyrus, clair, zinnia for dragon

[lament hornet]

yeah

it's more of a utility thing

[tardy fiber]

Oh iris haxorus too

[tough oriole]

Strike Purrserker too now for Steel

[tardy fiber]

I kinda want him, but i want shiny version more

[fallen path]

i wish that was the shiny one

ah vantner and i thinking the same thing lol

[tough oriole]

Instead they gave the 3 bar flincher the shiny

[tardy fiber]

All of the shiny meowths line are all techs

[tough oriole]

I think gauntlet lovers will prefer tech purrserker, but i’m not a gauntlet lover

[fallen path]

i only use shiny eggmons for gauntlet

[tough oriole]

At least tech kantonian meowth is definitely the best of the 3 kanto meowths

[tardy fiber]

Really? I thought the only good stuff it have is charm?

[lament hornet]

not many eggmons debuff attack

[tough oriole]

The other ones are a strike with body slam/slash or support with x speed, there’s a low bar regardless

[tardy fiber]

Out of all of the shinies, i like shiny perserker...aggravation plus mgr 2 flinch spam

[broken mulch]

Huzzah

That said still wondering what pool is

[tough oriole]

Probably these ones. Maybe or maybe not SS Cynthia, and maybe N

[lament hornet]

leon fake champion

[tough oriole]

They lied to us; they said that these units would only appear in Poké Fair scouts but I don’t see Poké Fair in the scout name, I’m suing for 1 million apologems

[tardy fiber]

Oh sssteven have champion tag? I didn't realise

[tough oriole]

Free SS Steven would be kinda funny, but I doubt it

[lament hornet]

there's 2 poke fairs that appear at the end of the month with these 6 units iirc

[tough oriole]

They start on the same day as the free champion select scout, so I suppose that is a good indicator of who’ll appear

[tardy fiber]

I need to wait for datamine, what if lodge lance / steven appears...well lodge cynthia kit is pretty mid

Also 27th, probably already get next datamine that time

[tough oriole]

No lodge diantha

[tardy fiber]

Oh right forgot about her

Well any support is good, if they come with striker/tech lodge pair, i will choose gastrodon

Ground support pair is still pretty rare, iirc only have nita and gastrodon

[lament hornet]

i would instantly pick steven if his lodge pair was armaldo

[tough oriole]

I’d want him to have aron

[lament hornet]

i hope lodge pairs moving forward get fully evolved mons

[tardy fiber]

I kinda sad, I checked absol stuffs and it seems that i lack 1 4* support move candy for February so i cannot 3/5 lodge morty

[lament hornet]

it's kinda goofy when first stage of generic kalos bird outdamages some flying legendaries and fully evolved forms

[lament hornet]

you can buy move level for lodge stones

[tardy fiber]

No, i like 5 certs more than a dupe

Im working on my 33rd level 150

[lament hornet]

i guess

i don't really care about max leveling stuff

[tough oriole]

Unless you were referring to the ones you have

[tardy fiber]

Oh i forgot him i do have his brother though

My emmet will be forever alone

Without his twin

[lament hornet]

same

except both emmets have the same fate

[tardy fiber]

Well i might select Ingo if lodge ingo appears

[tough oriole]

Hmm, that would never happen in the main series

[tardy fiber]

I will select lodge guest if all other pokefair faves in the select pool already 3/5

[tough oriole]

||I had only ingo for the longest time, only got emmet as a part of the selects||

||Now, i just need the sc versions to rerun||

[hard wave]

U have one month to log in

Feb 27-march 27

How long was the last one?

[tardy fiber]

I wonder if they will rerun on march, well pokewar sc rerun on anni, so tea party sc might rerun on half anni

[lament hornet]

oh god

[tough oriole]

That’s what I’m preparing for

[lament hornet]

half-anni pair rerun and last sc banner rerun would ruin me

unless i find a job by then which uh

[hard wave]

If we get lodge ingo I can maybe get him from the lodge banner

[lament hornet]

been looking for a while

[hard wave]

Weather supports r rlly useful, esp for stages like glacia

[tardy fiber]

Well just skip if you cannot get it on this time, they will rerun later in the future

[lament hornet]

b-but

Sonia

[tardy fiber]

We got sonia with cute doggo here

Still a sonia

[lament hornet]

[hard wave]

I hope the anni pairs rerun in a triple banner, but maybe by the summer cuz 2nd anni was a bit late

[hard wave]

Maybe half anni will suck

[tardy fiber]

I kinda wonder if they will rerun in triple banner, because 2021 anni MF doesnt rerun in a mix banner, well at least the half anni pairs are pokefairs so they have that difference

[hard wave]

MFs dont seem like they’ll be combined

Archie and Maxie werent

[lament hornet]

sc banner has two things i want but

i only get so many gems

[tardy fiber]

Last half anni pairs are weird, they are pokefairs but have seasonal tag

[hard wave]

And the half anni ones r rlly just regular pokefairs, tho they count as seasonals too I think

[hard wave]

I think anni is considered seasonal, which is why the MFs have it too

[tardy fiber]

I need to prepare, might get new ones

Hope there's electric legendary or mythical among those

[hard wave]

But bcz they arent seasonal seasonals we may get them outside of anni

[deft glen]

save for them

[hard wave]

Like anni MFs reran last month not sept

[lament hornet]

but mallow is also fav

and her banner ends before next datamine

[fallen path]

how many gems you have

[hard wave]

Either way seasonals always rerun in combined banners so im hoping we do get one

I gave my raihan a candy so I want to 3/5 him + get skyla and may

[lament hornet]

18k rn

[fallen path]

you're gonna have to check yourself if there's 18k out there before the banner leaves

[lament hornet]

yes

there is

[fallen path]

but then worst case scenario you can't get something for half anni if there's a fav there

that's the risk you have to take

and you can't summon on other banners

[hard wave]

Mallow is the first one anyway

[tardy fiber]

I gonna hopium that i can get a lot of 4* in the free x100 pulls...this might be the chance for me to make more 5* units from base 3* and 4* units

[hard wave]

Im not sure who to make 5* rn, all my pairs r 4* minimum rn

I was planning to do pairs who got an EX but I already had viola 5*

[tardy fiber]

Just choose your fave pokemon, like i 5* 20/20 bruno because i like machamp

[hard wave]

Rest of my EXable pairs r 5* minimum tho

[tardy fiber]

And 5* 20/20 brocknix as well

[hard wave]

Hmmm alr ill look thru them

I may also work on BP/Lodge pairs

[tardy fiber]

Well i dont recommend 5* 20/20 non faves, i did that because i only faves...so i 5* 20/20 units with leftovers

[hard wave]

I still have lodge may dawn rosa sycamore serena lillie and marnie + cynthia N and morty whenever I get them

Bp I have all the strikers and zinnia

[hard wave]

I just like having EXable pairs at 5* minimum, I think ive only EXd skyla out of them

[tardy fiber]

Like this, 5* 20/20 lodge blue does have nice stats

Not gonna 140 him because its not legendaries, mythicals, UBs

But i like exeggutor

So i 5* 20/20 him

[drowsy saddle]

All of your 53 are 20/20 by now, right?

[tardy fiber]

Seems like better than investing on eggmons, they have grids and region tag

[tardy fiber]

Yep

[tough oriole]

I hope Samson Oak will have Alolan Exeggutor

Hopefully it won’t fit on screen

[tardy fiber]

I will 5* 20/20 if it's a free event pair like kali, helena, naomi...if he gonna be a spotlight, i just gonna 135 him and normal grid him without

These are the guys that i already 5* 20/20, i might add more in the future

[tough oriole]

Do you even use them

[tardy fiber]

Yep in some of my gauntlet runs, others are probably just to prepare for future if region specific content appears

[lean mango]

BP Janine so true

[tardy fiber]

I still not use wikstrom, i 20/20 him just for fun to see how much his stance change stats go up

[lean mango]

tbh didn't expect the Crobat amount to triple in a couple of months but definitely appreciate it

[tardy fiber]

Crobat full team seems to have team synergy

The same for gastly evolution line team

[lean mango]

I know BP Janine was built to have synergy with Koga but haven't checked with Emma yet

[signal halo]

I wonder where Emma lands as far as strength goes

[tough oriole]

||She has better DPS than Zerena iirc||

[lean mango]

||She hits like a truck iirc from a calc||

[signal halo]

That decides it for me

[tough oriole]

I should not have said that

[lean mango]

[tardy fiber]

I need to be strong and not to get swayed, seeing recent units, i am hopeful that my yet unreleased faves will have strong kit

[signal halo]

Someone would

She was already on my radar

[tardy fiber]

So DeNa, where's electric faves?

[tough oriole]

Just use koga’s crobat
(Unless you really like emma)

[tardy fiber]

Zapdos, Raikou etc where

[lean mango]

Xurkitree so true

[signal halo]

Regieleki when

[lean mango]

Yea Koga is still really good for Poison

[deft glen]

Regieleki and Victor

[vernal glade]

I’m still waiting for Riley

[tough oriole]

I need xurkitree and regieleki, they’re so cute

[lean mango]

So true for Xurkitree

I need my flashing tree

[tardy fiber]

Im alright for poison coverage, i just use falliris+gladion

[signal halo]

Like, my meta goal was to have all my underappreciated types covered by limited pairs

Some types happen to have crazy accessible coverage, like grass and SS erika

[tardy fiber]

Im glad gladion multi attack can be boosted by weather, terrain, zones

[signal halo]

But fairy, for example

Or ghost

[deft glen]

SS Erika is amazing, I EX'd her cause I love using her

[signal halo]

Have it quite a bit rougher

[tough oriole]

Just use the underappreciated pairs, you’ll enjoy the game a lot using them

[signal halo]

I came to hate fire teams because of base silver

[lean mango]

I like to use Silver for grass

[signal halo]

That's not how it works for me

[deft glen]

Silver PB is good

[signal halo]

It is, but I still dislike the overall team

Might go for SS Morty to wrap it up

[tardy fiber]

I use sacred fire silver

He is a good source of fire physical damage

[signal halo]

Btw

[deft glen]

I use Serena lol

[signal halo]

Ww3 should be much better now on him, shouldn't it?

Since he's power boosted now

[tardy fiber]

Good if you use sacred fire

[signal halo]

And EX

[tardy fiber]

Dauntless for overheat

[deft glen]

Dauntless

[signal halo]

Can Serena replace him if I need special fire?

3/5 EX

[tardy fiber]

Serena have impervious iirc

[deft glen]

I like using her, but I'm a bit biased

[deft glen]

Yes, on grid

[tough oriole]

I wouldn’t waste on a non fave, cs2 is almost as good

[deft glen]

I usually don't give ww3 to units that don't set weather themselves

[tough oriole]

I’m just waiting for it to become the guaranteed lucky skill from a future LG, so i can give it to Emmet

[deft glen]

says me who only gave it to SS Erika

[tardy fiber]

I build my silver and zinnia based on sync move damage type...so sacred fire, ww3 silver...draco meteor, dauntless zinnia

[vernal glade]

||I use to go after Unova units to become UnovaMAX but I noticed they been pumping new Unova units frequently so I stopped aiming for that goal, and that decision was the correct answer.||

[signal halo]

I have ww3 on almost all weather focused pairs I have

[tardy fiber]

Later i will try to get ww3 for may, blaine, winona

No luck yet

[signal halo]

I don't wanna do this gauntlet

[tardy fiber]

The current one?

[signal halo]

I feel I don't have any obvious answers for regirock

[deft glen]

Everyone is annoying

[signal halo]

And ghost is one of my worst types overall

I have some debuffers for latias

[tough oriole]

Did you see the f2p guides?

[tardy fiber]

Luckily my faves have a bunch of piercing blows, i throw all of them at uxie

[signal halo]

Ghetsis, Lucian, alt iris, SS lyra, 3/5 SST red

[tough oriole]

||Just solo regirock with sst red ||

[signal halo]

Tried doing it on my own, but regirock is annoying to deal with

[signal halo]

Scary if he does it

Though SST red became the end all be all tech by soloing all of them, didn't he?

[tough oriole]

Yup

The regirock solo allegedly has minimal rng/isn’t too hard to do

[tawny cedar]

Just realised emma is a pf

I got one pity for two faves this month

Lysandre better come on the first multi

[signal halo]

I ended up testing out a solo on uxie

And it works

I'm legit scared about how powerful that rat came to be

[cunning swan]

Fair and balanced unit

[tawny cedar]

I swear the rats will be stronger than Arceus when he comes

[feral vale]

[signal halo]

I'm not so sure

Give arceus a support role and they'll make shiny ho-oh become a rubber chicken

[lean mango]

Have to wait for 19 days dang

I'm impatient

[signal halo]

Imagine the kinds of things a support arceus could achieve

Omni rebuff

All type team guard

A trainer move that targets an ally and gives a zone matching it's type

Meaning an Omni zoner

Or Arceus could just be gladion 2

Imagine B judgement

[tawny cedar]

You can't outclass KFC

Tis impossible

[signal halo]

Calem almost had it

[tardy fiber]

Early February is kinda dry, only have palentine stuffs

[tough oriole]

Oh yea, the pal units give you a permanent souvenir for your item box

[tardy fiber]

Another chocolate

[fallen path]

don't remind me about the chocolate

it took a really long time to get them lol

[tough oriole]

We can’t eat them, so what’s the point

[feral vale]

Big booooo, I love chocolate a lot

[tough oriole]

Do you just keep it in your box for years to come?|| (Unless you were replying to rancer lol)||

[feral vale]

Yeah…

Makes me wanna eat em

[fallen path]

it was like 800 of those vouchers or something like that

[feral vale]

I mean…it unlocks a story. 10 gems lol

[fallen path]

i'll prob do it again for the 10 gems...lol

[tough oriole]

[tardy fiber]

Moar

[tough oriole]

Yummy letters 😋

[dire meteor]

it's been two years how are the poffins not reduced to dust

[clever oyster]

...tomorrow will be Pal Elesa, right?

[rare swan]

#1012256199128915968 message

no

[tough oriole]

No, Pal Event with Mallow comes in 2 resets, Elesa comes on the 2nd

[clever oyster]

oh god

I will have to wait until the middle of next week

this is gonna be painful

[cunning swan]

Waiting's not going to kill you

[sly breach]

Waiting with gems is like waiting with a loaded gun who knows when it will go off

[cunning swan]

Well, you have the choice and control over your gun and the trigger

[vestal leaf]

^

Remember to touchgrass if this game gives you pull anxiety

Don't become dependant

All you did in this game will eventually be lost with EoS so no reason to ruin your daily life over some jpgs you'll eventually lose

[upbeat lotus]

waiting for fav's banner drops is hard, but i always find some ways to distract myself from that

[vestal leaf]

For the same reason, don't be too fixated on saving if it brings you anxiety or panic

Saving is great in every sense but not worth stressing over

I do it because it relieves me of datamine stress because I know I can afford faves

But if you end up miserable over having gems saved up, consider pros and cons

And see for yourself

[rare swan]

you need to just close the game if you're thinking like this, it'll be easier for you

it's definitely not a good way to think about your gem stash - i think of mine just as resources waiting for my fave's banners

if you're feeling like you could just pull on anything, close the game and distract yourself

the urge will pass

[clever oyster]

technically, they're 3D models and not JPEGs :p

also, I really hope PMEX won't face EoS before mainline Pokémon games finally will be good again

because I kinda need PMEX as a replacement for mainline Pokémon games

[tardy fiber]

Cannot wait for lodge morty how many resets for him to arrive?

[gloomy holly]

3

[tardy fiber]

Thanks

Building pairs does help me curb my temptations, still 47 4* that need to upgrade to 5*, and 79 pairs that need to max theme skills

[vestal leaf]

Me, thinking gen 8 was peak since 5 and gen 9 is still way better than 6 and especially 7:

[sly breach]

True this game > NFT

[craggy hornet]

Except for Leon's debut, all Masterfairs have stayed for more than a month, right?

Planning to save for a possible Masterfair for 3.5 Anni, but LySSandre is tempting

[rare swan]

LySS will still be available after the half-anni datamine, so you don't have to decide now!

[upbeat lotus]

Wait for anni datamine then decide

[craggy hornet]

Yep. Will make the call next update

[tardy fiber]

Cannot wait for Sycamore power boost

[sly breach]

They actually managed to make him even better than i thought, i saw sharp entry coming but definitely not Freevenge4

[upbeat lotus]

Team Beef Up 4 is unexpected as well

[sly breach]

Supporting 2, 4 gauge pairs might actually be possible

[tardy fiber]

I gonna use him for a long time, especially if more fairy legendaries/mythicals appears

[deft glen]

Now I like seeing big gem numbers

[cunning swan]

This doesn't look satisfying at all...6 figures soon

[tardy fiber]

almost there

[upbeat lotus]

If my calculation is accurate, i can save up to around 18k gems after ||spend a pity on Palentine rerun banner||

24k gems saved now

[tardy fiber]

110,415 currently

[little briar]

I'm at 80k so far

[vernal glade]

Just reached 89k.

[gloomy holly]

I think I'll skip the 3.5 anni units unless something catches my eye

[rustic heron]

57k for me

[sly breach]

Damn the gem counts in this place is crazy

[rotund sleet]

doesn’t this apply to like every unit

[feral vale]

That’s cause we got many kinds of savers! ^^

[lean mango]

Currently 92k, 15k left to go

[gloomy holly]

I kinda wanna pull on Anni Lillie because I have no limited Alola unit, should I do it for my personal reason of collection?

[hardy creek]

Don't let the high gem counts turn you away, though. There's no judgement regardless of how many gems you have, and ultimately we just wanna help you get to place where you have enough gems to reach your goals, whether it's just saving a 36.6k or saving for multiple faves

[timber wren]

we’ll probably see many new limited alola units in the coming months for alola VA, i don’t think pulling just for that reason is good enough

we’re also getting two limited alola units this month in pal mallow and anabel

ss lusamine rerun is probably in the near future as well

[lean mango]

There might be something more valuable along the way

[tardy jolt]

Hope she reruns soon, I wouldn’t like her rerun to take the place of a possible alt for the VA
They have been so weird with the last two that I don’t know what to expect anymore

[lean mango]

Hope she gets Poison Nihilego

[vestal leaf]

Head smash nihilego pls

[tardy jolt]

I’d really like poison nihilego, but rock means that I can use her and SS Diantha, that’d be a team as good as SC Diantha and SSA Cynthia

[lean mango]

[tardy fiber]

Hope for poison nihilego , rock can take stakataka and terrakion

[crisp oracle]

Hey guys, remember, if you are having some stress about this game, find something to do outside of PoMa! I do schoolwork for fun lmao, but I also like gaming and board games! And also take breaks if you need too!

[tardy fiber]

Luckily i don't have stress on poma, but i do experience some content drought occasionally. Poma is such a chill game. Well to remedy the lack of content, i just play other games

[feral vale]

Same lol

[glass abyss]

I am ready to sleep on February

Wake me when March comes

[tardy fiber]

Well iirc we got one of the half anni pairs on 28th...so not much time to wait

[reef river]

Jan was a sleeper month for me

||i get my meme queen on the 2nd and then the rest of feb is sleeper too||

[tardy fiber]

1 fave for Jan and Feb, just nice for my budget

[upbeat lotus]

4 for Feb

[tardy fiber]

Wow i did go through that during pokewar sc

[reef river]

Kalos fans cringe

2 post game npcs as pokefairs lol

[upbeat lotus]

Anabel isnt even a Kalosian

[summer goblet]

Emma is the only unit that I'm enticed by, but I'm going to resort to daily pulling as usual to save up for 3.5 anni

[upbeat lotus]

Missed chance to add Malva, Drasna, Tierno and Trevor and Team Flare scientists and AZ

[tardy fiber]

Anabel is alola iirc

First alola pokefair

[reef river]

Kalos fans in the mud, the real characters arent scoutable

I feel bad for them

Its good for my gems tho

[summer goblet]

yeah that is true

[sturdy flower]

and it's not even an alolan native

[tardy fiber]

Well just like kimono grimsley...alola love to import peoples

[lunar topaz]

I hope we get a classic anabel where she wears her fromtier brain outfit but she’s just there pondering why it feels so familiar

[sturdy flower]

frontier brains event but Anabel is strangely fitting in

[summer goblet]

that would be cool

[rare swan]

Not with two of the most powerful new pairs in the game, we aren't

(Please let me cope)

This is also a good reminder to myself to redo my faves list, since the VA is over

In terms of limited reveals, anyway

[upbeat lotus]

The choice of being pokefair is unpredictable now with Emma lol

I will not surprised if a NPC become a pokefair lol

[lament hornet]

nah, i think most popular npcs we already got and they were free

[tardy fiber]

I want the newscaster npc

Gabby and Ty

[reef river]

Gabby and ty pokefair when

[deft glen]

Yancy pokefair when

[reef river]

Looker pokefair wh- oh wait

[feral vale]

Wait how popular is Emma anyway?

I know she was featured in one of their shorts, so she must be known to TPC at least

[upbeat lotus]

Not too popular

A majority of playerbase forget she exists

[fallen path]

|| i'm one of those people, gakon ||

[lunar topaz]

I will be honest that I forgot her but I also do like her

[rare swan]

Not very

But she's a lovely little character, so

[lunar topaz]

Like I love kalos post game a ton and I enjoy it a lot lel idk how I forgot her but she is a really good character

[fallen path]

i don't remember what happens in x and y, that was the phase i kdidn't play much lol

[rare swan]

I'm guessing they're assuming that kit would sell better on her than Drasna

We shall see....

[tardy fiber]

Expect more pokefairs for characters, pokefair having 5/5 grids is a good reason for DeNa...they probably got more profit as more pairs being pokefairs in VA

[fallen path]

3 kalos gen pool is not good tho

[rare swan]

Maybe this means we'll get an event for Malva and Drasna like we did the Sinnoh E4

[lunar topaz]

I hope malva is a tech and drasna is asupport with dragalge

[rare swan]

Which I would like tbh

They deserve their own focus

[fallen path]

pokefairs amirite, richu

[rare swan]

I will need to keep saving

[lunar topaz]

crying

[tardy fiber]

Unova VA has only pokefairs although they still have Unova Pride and Spirit unused

[lunar topaz]

Fairs and seasonals I have the worst luck on

[fallen path]

good thing i can save because i don't remember kalos outside of the anime lol

[tardy fiber]

Still waiting for multis in pokefair banner will be rewarded with free move coins

[fallen path]

no incentive to put them i guess

[tardy fiber]

Spotlights, seasonals and master fair got move coins but none for pokefairs, and now probably they will add more pokefairs due to 5/5 grids seems to bring them money

[lean mango]

I hope that they release Malva and Drasna next month

Even if I'm not getting them

[tardy fiber]

Last year they released 3 half anni pokefairs, and 1 master fair

[rare swan]

I wouldn't call Zerena an anni unit

Although we might actually get Master Fairs this time we shall see

[hard wave]

Which was kind of good since we got 5 the next month

[ashen thunder]

No MF on Feb is already a big surprise for me

So there's Defo atleast 1 MF on March

leon is rerun so doesn't count

[hard wave]

Maybe a LuSSa rerun?

[ashen thunder]

Rerun can be done anytime they want

I am mostly looking out for new MFs

[hard wave]

Iirc 2nd anni and archie/maxie took 14-15 months to rerun which lines up w lussa

Tho leon took 2 yrs

[ashen thunder]

Leon took long coz Dena had no idea if people even like leon

And they are using this Feb to see what people would actually roll for

Whether they go for shit kit waifu or a broken kit forgettable character

And Leon is one of those

[hard wave]

If LuSSa reruns I hope we can get atleast 40k gems incase theres another pair I like

[lunar topaz]

40K in one month wh

Has that ever happened lel

[hard wave]

Isnt that normal for anni?

[ashen thunder]

I remember seeing 40k like 2 times

[lunar topaz]

Is it?

[hard wave]

Idk I thought 3rd anni was 40k? I may be wrong

[drowsy saddle]

We've had 40k and 45k

[lunar topaz]

How don’t I remember that lel

[hard wave]

I can get 34k by the end of feb so I think I can pity 2 pairs

[ashen thunder]

More I look at it, more I regret

[feral vale]

Holy crap

[ashen thunder]

Coz I was on hiatus from March to September

Last year

[feral vale]

I was just dumb at pulling

[drowsy saddle]

average helper not knowing what #1006331343300473022 do

[hard wave]

Same but im trying to save now

Tho I have quite a few pairs I like so im hoping I can get them in triple banners

[ashen thunder]

I am glad I waited for datamines since I know what to roll

Good thing I can wait for next datamine

Gotta hit the 2nd pity

Iirc all new stuff except palentines stay till next datamine

[rare swan]

God Aug22 was insane

I wonder what they have in store for this year's anni....

[ashen thunder]

Gotta love how powerlevel moved from a necrozma to zygarde and then rats and crotbat
Can't wait for ultimate broken bidoof

https://tenor.com/view/bidoof-bidoofbodybuilder-op-gif-25869397

[tardy fiber]

Yep thats why i mention master fair and not anni master fair... but she did appear on half anni month

[tardy fiber]

Kinda why i only grab faves, who knows that your unreleased fave will be the next best thing ...also seems like pokefairs and seasonals can be as good as master fairs nowadays

[rare swan]

Definitely worth saving

[lean mango]

Look at em go

[rare swan]

I didn't have my hopes that high for a Lysandre alt after most of the other villains were shafted

Yet a (gorgeous) one arrived

And in terms of power he's only beaten by Ash

[ashen thunder]

He's basically Ash V2 tbh

[rare swan]

And because I saved, he'll be mine no problem

[lean mango]

I'll say that is top tier cause can anything really beat Ash

[ashen thunder]

Since that Bmove is just striker sync

[tardy fiber]

I only put hope in him having alt after seeing VA home screen

[ashen thunder]

Just like how ash Bmove is tech sync

[tardy fiber]

Shauna, ssdiantha and him

[ashen thunder]

[rare swan]

Yeah, Ash is another level tbh

[ashen thunder]

Can't wait for support syncesque Bmove

Well Ash is another level only with other rat

[rare swan]

But LySS's so much more powerful than I expected my fave got both a gorgeous outfit and an incredible kit with the Mon I wanted him to have

[ashen thunder]

SSLysandre still has dat potential

[rare swan]

😭

[lean mango]

I won't acknowledge the rats, only my lil bat

[ashen thunder]

I hope the half anni is just meme Pokemon with broken kit

Like wooper

Give me that master fair shiny wooper with HTG5 ice punch with 3 modifiers or some shit

[lean mango]

Really do hope they release shiny zubat and Proton

Can't get enough of em

[rare swan]

They drop admins and my gems are in trouble

[lean mango]

Same, literally half of them are Poison

[tardy fiber]

Oh right, does the 100 team edits in this upcoming month?

[rare swan]

Still waiting for an Aqua admin......

[ashen thunder]

Aqua admin for perfect synergy with Archie

[tardy fiber]

Matt with water rebuff

[lean mango]

I need em to release Saturn

[ashen thunder]

Shelly plz

[rare swan]

I want Ariana and Shelly so bad

[ashen thunder]

[lean mango]

That Arbok

[rare swan]

[rancid vale]

someone stop me from doing more dumb shit

[ashen thunder]

https://tenor.com/view/stop-it-stop-get-some-help-michael-jordan-gif-7964841

[clever oyster]

49225 gems...

[chrome nest]

I’m prone to do stupid stuffs

[clever oyster]

Same

Please give me strength to survive until Pal Elesa arrives

Because I am so god damn tempted to ||do at least one extra ten-fold on the Anni Lillie banner||, if only because of those extra presents

[cunning swan]

the strength you need lies in not lingering on the game too much

[summer goblet]

My personal strategy to curb temptation is to focus on getting Pal Elesa and imaging yourself using her and getting lucky

[ashen thunder]

Make an oath that you'll only gamble after you get pal elesa and roll fissure 3 times a row

Easiest way to curb your temptation right there

[summer goblet]

or punish yourself by doing chores/donating money/etc if you do gamble

[tardy fiber]

Dry reset today, i just do dailies and cs and done...no need to login to see eggs because meowth egg event not yet start

[clever oyster]

I just log in every day to do my dailies and TL exploration stuff

and even that can be painful sometimes

But I also can't take a break either because every day I take a break is a day where I don't get gems from dailies, and that's not an option either

[tardy fiber]

I never take a break although sometimes i might feel tempted, those daily gems are too valuable

[summer goblet]

i never take a break ever since Launch

every single gem is valuable when pulling units you want into your roster

at best, its a quick 15 min playing time and never touching it again until close to reset time where i double check it

[tardy fiber]

Yep i always did similar to this, only monday or gauntlet/villa day that i will spend longer time

[summer goblet]

Same

Which on that note, i eat breakfast while i play cs

[hardy creek]

it's not the end of the world if you do miss a few days tho. If you need to take a break from the game or are busy and can't get to it, don't stress about it. Dena is generous enough with gems that missing some days isn't the end of the world, and ultimately this is just a game. If it's ever causing you stress, you can always take a break from the game.

[summer goblet]

A good way to start my week

Nah i don’t agree, until dena get rid of daily gems, its hard to skip a day if one must actively pursue their fav

And also taking the game seriously as well

Best advice is to coast through it and play daily very quickly for those who needs gems but are s bit burnt out from the grind

[hardy creek]

at the end of the day it's just a game and if it's stressing you out it's okay to take a break. a few missed days of daily gems aren't the end of the world

[tardy fiber]

Im fine with missing EBE gems though

But as dailies are still within my means

I not gonna miss em

[hardy creek]

oh yeah I'm not even trying malva's round 2 EBE

I mean if you can get them, then yeah grab your daily gems. but if the game is causing you stress or you have a ton of irl commitments eating up your time, just take a break it's not the end of the world

[tardy fiber]

Oh i might can do Malva, i gonna skip Leon EBE round 2 instead

[lean mango]

Leon EBE might be the one that'll tug on me the most

0 Galar EX/Limiteds BABIEEEEEE

[tardy fiber]

Yep different entryx2 as well ...well i will be fine if sides only spam swift or low damage moves but it seems to be not that... also enemies gonna keep making our acc lower

To promote leon's piercing gaze

[hardy creek]

let's not go too much into the meta surrounding EBEs as that's a bit off topic but also yeah, it's okay if you can't clear an EBE. The 300 gems you get from the EBE is not worth however many gems you would spend pulling for the unit needed to clear it

[tardy fiber]

Yep, gonna ignore round 2....i gonna hope galar VA later will give me more solid roster of faves

[lean mango]

Gonna try my best but if I'm in the constant defeat then I'll find better stuff to do

Kinda like with the 3.0 anni EBE

[ashen thunder]

If you are rolling lysandre maybe he can offregion with frogs

Iirc it's not wise entry

So it should be viable to some extent

But then who cares when galar gen pool has sonia

[lean mango]

With what frogs

[ashen thunder]

Ah right

I am a clown so I'll still try to offregion without rats

[hardy creek]

if you want to discuss how to clear EBE's, please take it to #1009557516369281075 especially if it involves using fair units

[lean mango]

[past gate]

you win some you lose some

I think it fine if you don't win one it better to preserve your sanity anyways

[lean mango]

And your gems

[past gate]

True

[summer goblet]

EBE is extra challenge with b.s requirement so its fine to skip

But skipping dallies is like skipping a day job where gems are limited

It’s something everyone can accomplish along with b.v.

[hardy creek]

there are days where I forgot to do my dailies. I still have a ton of gems. it's really not the end of the world

also this game is nowhere near as serious as a day job

[turbid sierra]

does ss hilda gain significant dps boost from 1/5 to 3/5?

[hardy creek]

pressuring people to get their dailies no matter what at all costs is just gonna stress ppl out further and make them more reluctant to come back to the game after a break because they'll feel as if they can't make up for the lost time

[hardy creek]

I'm not entirely sure, but you might be able to get a solid answer in #poma-questions

[turbid sierra]

no worries, thanks! i jsut currently stop getting the gold medal gem bundle so i am currently at 2 candies available for upgrade

[buoyant elk]

For rush she gets a py↑ from tm, but the grid nodes are mostly about the sync and searing shot

She gets confusion synergy 2 and burn synergy 1 however

[summer goblet]

Then the players are not serious to begin with anyway

[buoyant elk]

Losing few days isn't a big issue, skipping whole events, may be

[summer goblet]

My being, people who commit to the work will yield more results and thus rewarded with a hard grind

[buoyant elk]

Not that is possible to complete the whole roster without spending big money regardless

[summer goblet]

Skipping the event is basically death sentence

[cunning swan]

I never skip a day of dailies ever since I started either. But I can see how burnout seriously demotivates people and it's reasonable to take a break. At the end of the day it's a game

[polar yarrow]

Dude, this is not a job, if you wanna put the work like it is, you do you, but people are allowed to forget or just don't care enough, get burnt out or whatever else.

[summer goblet]

Unless you plan to skip banners for a fee months of couse

[buoyant elk]

Never skipped a day too, but skipping a day shouldn't be a big problem as long as I don't skip the events

[rare swan]

This is a silly mobile game that we all play for fun, at the end of the day

If you miss a day it's no biggie at all

[summer goblet]

I’m stating my own opinion on life philosophy

[buoyant elk]

Unless the skipped day is the 25th of the month

[rare swan]

Maybe it's good for your career, etc but this is just a game

[buoyant elk]

But i guess skipping the 25th still counts as skipping a whole event

[summer goblet]

A game that demands a-lot of attention

[buoyant elk]

Not even that much attention

[summer goblet]

Well the whole logging in thing

[rare swan]

PMEX really doesn't demand much attention at all

[buoyant elk]

There are games that you have to play every x hours or you are missing stuffs

[rare swan]

Especially on non-event days

[turbid sierra]

is sync orb part of this conversation?

[rare swan]

It's quite chill

[hardy creek]

we're trying to encourage people to work towards their goals in a realistic, achievable way and an all-or-nothing mentality is just gonna stress people out and make them give up altogether

[sturdy hatch]

Sure, what do you need with them?

[summer goblet]

If i were to take a break, i have to pledge a vow to never pull a single banner for months

[buoyant elk]

Just playing daily without a strict time restraint isn't a big commitment compared to games where maybe you have to play every 4h or so

[turbid sierra]

i just keep hitting my 99k max sync orb and sometimes the overlapping are just waisted so need to know where to use it mostly, most of my 3/5 units are grided, are 3* worth the resource or just wait for other?

[hardy creek]

if you have a pity and a fave drops, you can pull. It doesn't take long to save a pity in this game. you can easily take a break and then still prepare for a future fave within a month or so

[buoyant elk]

Those games are a real pain to deal with

[summer goblet]

Ok maybe aside from stamina based game

[buoyant elk]

Once i played one of them, never again

[polar yarrow]

Only if you plan to put some effort in Gauntlet and will need more units, other then that and trying them for fun you won't need them.

[sturdy hatch]

Just grid your starting units

Why not?

Also don't judge units by star value

[turbid sierra]

not that im judging them, but most of the units i used are all grided like misty, roxanne, etc and its still capping for me, so im nto sure if just save them or just used them all on available units even though i dont use them

[summer goblet]

Anyway, maybe that’s just me, but i treat this game like i was playing a professional sport

[sturdy hatch]

You can't save them if you're at a cap

[summer goblet]

Where i feel super accomplished whenever i play

[tardy fiber]

Im prepared to miss dailies if my phone broke

[buoyant elk]

Stamina is even less strict, I'm playing of those games that gives rewards every x hours, but the timer restarts only when you collect the rewards, so if you played at 13:37 you have to play at 17:37 not before and every minute you wait slides the timer for your next play

[tardy fiber]

Its quite an old phone, so i expect the worst

[summer goblet]

Wow, thats a mouthful

[buoyant elk]

With stamina you can still play in-between the recharge

[summer goblet]

Ok maybe i have yet to play a even more demanding game

[sturdy hatch]

Ah, the PoMa egg system

[buoyant elk]

Like that, but generally are way more meaningful stuffs

[tardy fiber]

To bait people buying eggcelerator pass

[buoyant elk]

Skipping eggs isn't a big deal

[sturdy hatch]

how dare you

[summer goblet]

Eggs is whatever

[buoyant elk]

Isn't that hard to get 3 passive Mons, the commitment is more for the shiny

[hardy creek]

the only egg that matters is ||||

[buoyant elk]

And the shiny still has the same stats and kit of the regular 3 passive one, so gameplay wise isn't that a big of a deal

[summer goblet]

I just egg mon for the collection

[buoyant elk]

Most eggmons are pretty useful for gauntlet

[rare swan]

this would frustrate the hell out of me, i'm glad PMEX isn't like that

[tardy fiber]

DeNa, cosmog, phione and kubfu egg when?

[summer goblet]

Anyway, why do i get the feeling that i am the only one with a strong work ethic

[sturdy hatch]

Strong work ethic? you don't even get your eggs on time

smdh

[buoyant elk]

They never released anything that isn't gen 1 based egg, or regional variant of gen 1 mons

[tardy fiber]

Kinda sad that they shove belossom

[summer goblet]

Actually i do, i just prioritize on gems and candies

[sturdy hatch]

They didn't release any split evolutions for ages. Guess they eventually decided

[sturdy hatch]

They're different systems they don't have priority overlaps

[buoyant elk]

The only exception was hitmontop

[tardy fiber]

They did it just fine for tyrogues, that's why i thought support oddish becomes belossom

[summer goblet]

I mean i focus more on those 2 prime resources

[polar yarrow]

You sure are something bro

[turbid sierra]

are we going to have the same 5,000 paid gem select scout like the dialga one on next update?

[rare swan]

I mean, you can be focused on your saving, but you don't need to put a lot of mental energy towards it

it's just a game, at the end of the day

[tardy fiber]

We will get a free champion select

[buoyant elk]

Maybe they just want to release split evolutions if they are at least 3

[sturdy hatch]

Boo I say.

[buoyant elk]

Maybe they can do the same for eevee

[sturdy hatch]

Give me a belossom

[buoyant elk]

Like support Vaporeon, tech Jolteon, striker flareon

[turbid sierra]

oh nice, but no news yet if there will be another 5k paid gems select?

[sturdy hatch]

There are more than 3 eeveelutions!

[buoyant elk]

Probably they will stick to gen 1 ones

[broken mulch]

Not for genwunner MC LMAO

Bettie and Scottie sure love their Kanto mons

[summer goblet]

All I’m saying is, I am a high achievers guy

[broken mulch]

… actually

The eggs we got are from professor bellis

[sturdy hatch]

We got MC a tyrogue

more is possible

[summer goblet]

Whether its games, school, work a#or contest

[broken mulch]

Then again the MC never evolved their Chanseys and Golbats

[sturdy hatch]

Fine for you to live your life Necronadal, but calling others low achievers because they don't treat a game like a professional sport will not be tolerated

[rare swan]

Just remember this isn't a competition

[summer goblet]

I feel more enjoyment thinking about this game everyday on how i should proceed with my management

[rare swan]

we don't hand out prizes for the biggest gem balance

[buoyant elk]

I mean isn't that is really possible to complete 100% of the game without money investment

[summer goblet]

Fine, i lay of the comments

[broken mulch]

Hmm actually

Err why did I reply to you lol

My bad

[summer goblet]

Lol

[broken mulch]

Anyway lots of not fully evolved eggs now that I think about it

[buoyant elk]

And i guess for newcomers isn't even possible to complete the medals regardless

[summer goblet]

Its never about the prize,

[sturdy hatch]

They wre really careful with the eggs, only put in lines which didn't have future babies or splits for ages

[buoyant elk]

The prize is that if you are willing to spend at least 36.4k you get the unit you are aiming for guaranteed

[summer goblet]

Also, i never call them low achievers, just sharing my side of the story

[sturdy hatch]

You were doing more than that, please stick by your intention to stop doing so.

[buoyant elk]

I feel like 90% of the new units are limited, so good luck keeping the peace without big bucks, or godlike luck

And I'm talking about just getting the baseline units

[rare swan]

No need to summon on 90% of units, though

just your favourites

[summer goblet]

Very well, moderator

[buoyant elk]

I mean for completionists isn't the game to play

You don't need most of the units to complete the events

Some extreme battles may be brutal however

[lean mango]

tbh probably all gacha games can't really be played in a completionist way, the random luck is there to get you to spend money

[rare swan]

thankfully EBEs are very skippable

[tardy fiber]

I accidentally have faves that comprise quite a big percentage of poma units

[buoyant elk]

Yes generally you lose like 300/600 gems

[tardy fiber]

Didn't expect that PoMa releases them regularly

[sturdy hatch]

You should get better favs, like belossum and luvdisc

[lean mango]

Luvdisc meta lfg

[buoyant elk]

This month feel a bit like a skipping month metawise

Maybe SS Lysander is a good pull

But not a must have

[tardy fiber]

No, i got a principle, not legendaries/mythicals/UBs no pull ...i will add paradoxes when the first one arrives

[ashen thunder]

Luvdisc master fair soon

[tardy fiber]

I will gladly skip it

I don't mind lose EBE gems as well

[lean mango]

Kinda wondering why you didn't mention Emma but oh well

[buoyant elk]

Emma is strong too, but i feel Lysander is a bit better, rain is way more accessible than poison zone

[broken mulch]

Oh Emma has zone multipliers?

[lean mango]

Tho Water is an oversaturated type, Poison isn't

[ashen thunder]

Can't wait to see Emma and redchu competing for which status to inflict in co op while I am spamming defog

[lean mango]

Do it to Redchu, not Emma

[rare swan]

no units are must-haves

[buoyant elk]

Generally there's only one poison weak stage in cs and the only poison weak gauntlet is bar 2 tapu bulu

[ashen thunder]

Poison has any notable Pokemon left for potential good gacha unit?

[tardy fiber]

I skipped the pikachus because i cannot accept those rats are stronger than most of my legendaries

[ashen thunder]

I know water still has stuff

[lean mango]

Poison Nihilego

[ashen thunder]

Like the starters

Ah right

The UBs

[tardy fiber]

Nihilego, iron moth, shiny eternatus

[buoyant elk]

Water doesn't need other units but if you plan to offtype, is easier to do with water types than poison types

[lean mango]

Still haven't released Poison Venasaur

[ashen thunder]

Well Cyrus is free

As far as water is concerned

And gen pool has strong options

[lean mango]

Cyrus can clear anything so water ain't a necessary type

[tardy fiber]

Use barry

[buoyant elk]

I mean than if you plan to offtype, there are lots of rain options, and only one poison zone option (limited seasonal too)

[ashen thunder]

Fire , dragon and water
The trio of bloated typing

[lean mango]

I'm using Siebold out here

[tardy fiber]

Oh i forgot siebold got

[ashen thunder]

Yea I actually have 3 capable offtype water teams coz of that

While I don't have firis

So poison stays in the bin

[buoyant elk]

I have SS Giovanni, so the poison weak stage is covered, and i don't really know if Emma is that good at offtyiping without poison zone

[tardy fiber]

I gonna hopium that DeNa will give us a free galar pair soon, i think galar pairs are still quite hard to collect for newbies other than Hop...gonna hope for bp galar unit on next anniv

[ashen thunder]

Emma has better dps than deoxys

[tardy fiber]

My poison is already set, i just toss naganadel and silvally together

[ashen thunder]

The problem is going to be running a poison bot

Ssleaf meta

[buoyant elk]

Yes but the problem i have with Emma is that I need to run a separate poison unit, since i don't like 50% chance of poison fang

[rare swan]

BP Erika, done

[buoyant elk]

SS Lysander has guaranteed burn on steam eruption even at 1/5

[ashen thunder]

We are devolving
From hoppa -> necrozma -> zygarde&deoxys->rats -> crobat

I can already see next is wooper

And then bidoof

[rare swan]

either way

[ashen thunder]

[rare swan]

don't let meta influence your decisions

[tardy fiber]

Lucy for 100% poison

[lean mango]

The GOAT

[tardy fiber]

Janine as well...ariados

[lean mango]

Lucy EX when

[ashen thunder]

Just James

[buoyant elk]

Janine is the best option cuz pep rally

[tardy fiber]

Not anytime soon i guess, they focused on giving to story pairs

[lean mango]

I hope more Poison units get EX

[hardy creek]

Even if you skip the most OP meta pair, it's not the end of the world. Most stages in this game can be cleared without the most meta units

[lean mango]

EX Koga LFG

[buoyant elk]

If you can roll headstart 1 on Janine i guess Emma can be pretty broken

[lean mango]

My mentality when skipping the 3.0 Anni Trio in a nutshell

[ashen thunder]

Roxy my beloved

Get ex so I can use you

I can't hope to roll a poison unit when my fav trainers are fire or electric specialists

[lean mango]

Bug type for me

[rare swan]

EX Viola is right there

[ashen thunder]

Abuse ticket

Volcarona for everyone

[tardy fiber]

Still waiting for more poison, normal, fairy, dark, electric faves

[ashen thunder]

No need to roll

[lean mango]

Still can't EX, no Koga EX :crypain:

[ashen thunder]

Alola Defo bringing the tapus so I guess 2 typings are covered already out of those

[tardy fiber]

I gonna grab cynthia, well i might change decision if datamine have lodge steven/lance

[ashen thunder]

When Koga without EX still outnukes firis

[tardy fiber]

Oh or diantha as well

Forgot about her

[ashen thunder]

[tardy fiber]

Although i have 2 diantha faves

[oak crest]

Lance will probably take forever to get added into lodge seeing so many lodge trainers there disliked him

[clever oyster]

Speaking of EX

[tardy fiber]

Lodge lance dragonair please, dratini and dragonair are cool...but I don't think dragonite is as cool as them

[clever oyster]

You know what grinds my gears?

[tardy fiber]

Klinklang

[clever oyster]

Out of all the Hoenn support sync pairs we have

[ashen thunder]

I wonder who will get added to lodge during half anni

[clever oyster]

Only 2 Support Sync Pairs can be EX'd

[ashen thunder]

I hope it's a tech gen pool

Glacia, Phoebe, SSbrendan........

Thats already 3

[lean mango]

And one of them is Glacia

[ashen thunder]

Hey glacia is good

for theme skills with hala

[sleek whale]

Drake too

[clever oyster]

Oh, whoops, 3 supports

[rare swan]

[tardy fiber]

I don't mind support much, having bp master units as faves have taught me that i can live without ...also i got techs and strikers that have , i just pair them with those guys and still clear stuffs

[clever oyster]

But all 3 Hoenn supports are kinda bad EX choices

Glacia, Phoebe and Drake

[lean mango]

EXCUSE ME WHAT

[ashen thunder]

I legit use Steven tank for hoenn ebe coz I don't have ssbrendan

Wdym

They all are great ex

Especially glacia needs those stats

[lean mango]

Glacia is right there.

[clever oyster]

Glacia is bad at tanking

Ya know, what a support is supposed to do?
