All gone next month

[tardy fiber]

[mental skiff]

3 fav with 1% chance

[tardy fiber]

Please not legendaries, mythicals, UBs

So i can skip

[broken mulch]

I’m ok with favorite, I’ll hit pity haha

1 favorite

[mental skiff]

half anni tho MF is a must that is why they make Kalos VA all PF

[ashen thunder]

I degenned so I only got 11k gems rn

[mental skiff]

I hope only 1 fav next month tho

[ashen thunder]

Need to zen till datamine

[mental skiff]

[tardy fiber]

I thought that's because they just got 2 MF neo champion calem serena

[mental skiff]

Noo next month Neo champion

[broken mulch]

Indigo league Neo champions

[ashen thunder]

Plz not Neo champions

[broken mulch]

SIX OF THEM

[mental skiff]

[ashen thunder]

My gems won't hold

[broken mulch]

Red blue leaf Ethan Kris lyra LMAO

[tardy fiber]

Alola VA probably have MF, there's still alola Pride MF passive unused

[mental skiff]

Alola VA definitely have 2 atleast

[ashen thunder]

Tapus gonna be MFs

So 4 MF

[tardy fiber]

Both are Lillie alts

[broken mulch]

Man

I wonder

[mental skiff]

1 Nihilefo for Lussamine, Robot for lilie and Zeraora for Gladion

[broken mulch]

How godawful must my favorite character’s costume be for me to skip them

[tardy fiber]

Only 3 tapus, the final one will be paired with MC for this anniv BP MF

[broken mulch]

Like I’m imagining literal trash bag Cynthia with Garbodor

And I still wanna pull

[mental skiff]

Gabordor is a must

[sturdy plank]

i feel that gladion doesn't fit well with zeraora

[ashen thunder]

Make tapu Koko a tank with terrain on entry and extension on top with potion , sync Accel and team electro repulsion 3

Easiest way to make electric OPer

[mental skiff]

they just pair him with a legend or UB to form a trio

And slay your gems

[broken mulch]

Could always have the other Necrozma

[sturdy plank]

the other necrozma form fits well unless there's only 1 necrozma only

[tardy fiber]

Melmetal gladion

[mental skiff]

We leave that for ash rerun

[ashen thunder]

SSolivia when

[tardy fiber]

Thats ash greninja

[sturdy plank]

i need ss acerola with shiny marshadow

[mental skiff]

Greninja has 3 alt i dont think so

[sturdy plank]

i want double marshadow

[sturdy plank]

2

[mental skiff]

Yeah

[ashen thunder]

Mono greninja team

We already have mono Pikachu and mono charizard

[mental skiff]

Any pokemon has 4 alt?

[ashen thunder]

So it's still possible

Crobat

[mental skiff]

[ashen thunder]

Emma, Janine, koga, MC

[sturdy plank]

does pikachu count with eggmon

[mental skiff]

Ah still 3

Not counting eggmon

[ashen thunder]

Just need one more and you can run 1 crobat per CS stage

[mental skiff]

still wait for pink crobat

[sturdy plank]

imagine birthday gems

[tardy fiber]

Luckily my faves currently only have shiny and non shiny version...if people's fave are zard , pikachu or crobat, you will need to pull a lot

[sturdy plank]

but i don't think that will happen because people will probably abuse the system

[mental skiff]

Dont think so imagine someone born in 29th Feb

[sturdy plank]

would be cool if we can exchange coins for gems

[mental skiff]

i can already foresee pikachu and charzard maxer

[drowsy saddle]

At this point you're just asking for infinite gems

[mental skiff]

Eos tho

[tardy fiber]

I want to conversion...i got a bunch of unused spirits

[mental skiff]

1.000.000.000 = 100 gems is fun tho

I wont mind

[sturdy plank]

3,685 gems now

will be 4k soon because i haven't completed mission 4-6

i'm not gonna try to beat mission 11-12

[upbeat lotus]

why dont you want to try?

[sturdy plank]

was having abit of difficult situation at the battle challenge round 1 & 2

[upbeat lotus]

#1009557516369281075 for help

[wind nymph]

So ignoring palentines units and save for zygarde/pikachu pairs good idea??

[cunning swan]

Of course, if they're your faves

[upbeat lotus]

focus on your saving goals

[cunning swan]

Zygarde and the rats are master pairs so we don't know when they might rerun. It's always good to have pities on hand in case we get a rerun jumpscare

[upbeat lotus]

only pull if you have enough to guarantee Zygarde and both rats

[cunning swan]

So that's 3 pities. Don't let your gems go below 108k

[maiden kayak]

dont fall in the trap of spending after u have reached the goal just because u feel like u need to spend on units

make new goals once u hit your target

[tardy jolt]

Smooth sailing from here until the end of the month, finished all the events and waiting for the (unfortunately disappointing) second part of Kalos VA

[wind nymph]

Damm this game is so tempting to pull some others good pairs also

[tardy jolt]

Kalos CS is so fun, btw! Hope to see Drasna as a pair soon, her animations are adorable

[upbeat lotus]

thats why you need to stay strong

focus on your saving goals

ignore everything else

[sturdy plank]

i learned my lesson after trying to pull palentines mallow in 3 multi

[wind nymph]

What 😱😱😱😱3 multi

[tardy jolt]

Seasonals are so bad, I hate pulling for them, luckily it’s been a while since I had to, only selects for me

[sturdy plank]

i didn't say i got her

[wind nymph]

Have u caught her

[wind nymph]

Oh 👌

[lapis pine]

What a funny account lol

[wind nymph]

Ok then gonna ignore all these banners now

[onyx hearth]

Damn the new banner is testing my patience

What do you guys tell to yourself if you're tempted to pull

[cunning swan]

What if a favorite comes out the next month

That's what made me skip Ash

"i have enough gems but what if faves come out next month"
And they did. Victor, SS Hilbert, CCalem came 3 months consecutively. Maybe I wouldn't have been able to secure my favorites if I had fallen into temptation

[spare swift]

You dont get crobat eggmon, only till golbat

[ashen thunder]

Wut

Guess more reasons to hate that feature

[mild spindle]

Resisted the urge of throwing a multi at Bede's banner last night before he left. 3K towards Anni secured.

[vestal leaf]

Got hella shafted by palentine quad but still managed to pull the 3 I wanted albeit I had to go past pity

That's what saving is for 🙏

2 years of skips = 46k gems to get the 3 I wanted 1/5

Odds wise, I would've had to get each in sub 6 multis to beat this result, which isn't that unlikely, but still an uncertainty

That's why we save boys

Now back to building 6th pity that will probably be for SS diantha if half anni is nothing interesting

[sturdy flower]

half anni being nothing interesting is a bold claim

[vestal leaf]

We'll see

[cunning swan]

Back to 6 figures!

[rustic heron]

niiice

[sturdy flower]

I might hit 150k ||f I make it before Emma appears||

[feral vale]

Got ||P Serena and Marnie on the way,|| last seasonal I need for my favs list is Furbert!

[sturdy hatch]

The valentines letter turn into ONE 💀

[fallen path]

yup, redeemed those 800 vouchers lol

[sturdy hatch]

F

My vouchers

[sand crown]

That’s just cruel

[feral vale]

I had a feeling T_T

[cunning swan]

oh it gets exchanged for a ticket? Here I thought I could get two copies of the letters that I can't even read

[cunning swan]

it's okay, you did it for science

can't wait for the CElesa event to rerun and I get more of those lisia and elesa thingies

whatever those souvenirs were

[drowsy saddle]

News always mention what it turns into

[cunning swan]

looks like I didn't take my usual advice of reading

[sturdy hatch]

The news loads too slowly in-app

[feral vale]

~~I thought that’s the Present Box ~~

[deft glen]

Time to go back to saving.

[deft glen]

|| I got all of them 🙂 now my last seasonal left to get is S Marnie ||

[deft glen]

That's why I almost never read them lol

[feral vale]

The Present Box is 10x slower

[rustic heron]

i wish the palentines banners lasted until the end of the month

i like pretty much every pokemon from the past palentines units

whimsicott, alcremie, mawile…

||resisting the urge to do a single yolo||

[glass abyss]

Alcremie is my least favourite

||I pulled on the Tier Scout and spent like 70 CAD||

Need to not do that

[rustic heron]

yiiiiiikes

||i cannot IMAGINE spending that much money on this game in one burst, most i’ve spent is the champion stadium gem bundles||

[glass abyss]

Listen, it’s not even the depths I have been to before

Blew way too much money into this game

I do tend to have tendencies that enable gambling habits

Thanks Grandpa

But yeah, Gambling is a serious issue that I have struggled with since childhood

Especially with a family history of it

[vernal glade]

Well we could get a new SC in April.

[sturdy flower]

fingers crossed not

unless it brings the... Unova or Hoenn ace trainer class

[rustic heron]

update: my bf ||went thru the entire tiered scout and only got 1 other 5*, that being dawn from the guaranteed 5* ticket||

i no longer have an urge

[glass abyss]

Nice

[sly breach]

Well thats just sad

And salty too

He should post in salt channel

Wish discord had upvote system in channels so we can run salt channel like wsb

[rustic heron]

idk if he’s even in this discord

lmao

he is, but he’s only sent like 10 messages in 2 years

debating on pinging him

nah, he already said he regrets doing that lmao

[lament hornet]

almost 11k

[tardy fiber]

Waiting for 3 more resets

BV+blissful bonanza+tapu Bulu LA+special rally

[sturdy plank]

is that in the 9th?

[tardy fiber]

Yep

Its 7th reset this upcoming reset

So 3 more resets

[rustic heron]

damn

that's a ton of gems in one day

multiple thousands

[tardy fiber]

Some of it are timegated

Special rally and blissful bonanza probably

[rustic heron]

still, you can do BV and bulu in one day

that's a good couple thousand there

maybe even a multi

[tardy fiber]

Yep 3k gems at least

BV is 2k and LA is 1k

[rustic heron]

niiiice

but of course i'm still gonna save it

need em for half anni

[fallen path]

Oh I thought it was Tue instead of Thu on the datamine graphic lol

This week kinda chill but next week gonna have a decent amount of gems released

[sand crown]

the temptation brigade as well

[rare swan]

This is always a rough part of the month

Put the game down if you need to

[tardy fiber]

Gonna wait patiently for next Monday

Sycamore power boost

Freevenge

[dire meteor]

I hope 3.5 Anni has gem counts going to the 40k+

[tardy fiber]

I hope thats enough, i gonna remove recuperation from grid

[hard wave]

45k would be nice

[rare swan]

This Feb is definitely a bit lighter on the gems than last year

[hard wave]

Hopefully if there r pairs that I like its only 1 or 2

[dire meteor]

The only time they broke it is during Victory Road debut last year.

[tardy fiber]

40k+ gems are neat

[sturdy plank]

when was the lowest amount of gems

[dire meteor]

Nah, most likely they're gonna capitalise it by having 6 limited pairs

[tardy fiber]

I hope they won't split Datamine again for march

[hard wave]

Wait wasnt last year just zerena and anni trio?

[dire meteor]

I think it's during the first few months of the game. Though I don't see anyone documented that early into the game, though.

[tardy fiber]

I dislike having half of a month of something unknown

[hard wave]

I checked and for free scouts it was just reruns like Ciris + red ingo diantha gauntlet banner 2.5 anni trio and zerena

[sturdy flower]

there was also the white day banner

that had lots of 5* power ups

[hard wave]

Oh ya the charming banner as well

[tardy fiber]

I hope there's a kanto fave among half anni pairs

My kanto region faves have been just only mewtwo and mew for a long time

[sturdy flower]

it would be nice, but at the same time i'd rather see these birds as a MF

[tardy fiber]

I dont mind if its not even the birbs, just release a kanto trainer with legendaries, mythicals, UBs

[sturdy flower]

stealing from Alola again

[tardy fiber]

Can also steal from paldea, i gonna collect paradoxes as well

[sturdy flower]

Paldea is still in the oven

don't expect it so soon

||they might talk about DLC on our anni||

[tardy fiber]

Nah i dont expect it

I expect hisui

Cmon enamorus

Just dont make her support

[sturdy flower]

ah yes, ||Cynthia|| and Enamorus

[tardy fiber]

I gonna use sycamore as my main fairy support

Tech with some team buffs would be nice

[sturdy flower]

we are getting a striker with team buffs this month

[tardy fiber]

Really? On emma?

[sturdy flower]

yep

[tardy fiber]

Oh gonna skip her

Iirc sshilda also have team buff

Raise accuracy

Cannot wait for real anniv as well, if got another MC bp master unit...i will get 5 mc faves

Solgaleo, Cobalion, Mesprit, Regirock

Enough for 5 cs teams

[broken mulch]

February is skip month for which I’m grateful haha

Palesa is the one I’m most interested in because she’s drop dead gorgeous in her date dress but nah. Thankfully her banner disappears rather fast so the temptation won’t stay long

Only other temptation I have is SS Lysandre but not that much haha. I like his look but never liked Lysandre much, skipped his base unit too. In case halfversary sucked, well, he’ll still be there

[vernal glade]

Im grateful this is a skip month also.

[hard wave]

Maybe hisui for poma anni and || sv dlc || for overall anni

[hard wave]

Same, not interested in palentines/Kalos VA pairs, N but just for lodge, already have marnie, and kinda interested in the champions (except leon) but prob going to skip

[tardy fiber]

Lodge just changed this reset dry gems to big gems

Next mission need 1500 interactions and get 300

[sturdy hatch]

I'm on 971

how

[tardy fiber]

Almost there ...i will also get the 13th level 100 guests in probably 2 more resets

Also happy with level 150 progress, as i already done more than half the amount of my total faves. So i feel very good today

[broken mulch]

Ah I was wondering what the gem boost I got was haha

[lean mango]

Gem count, a bit more till 100k

[tardy fiber]

Another 2 resets there will be bvilla and tapu bulu LA that day so thats 3k

[uncut fern]

When you reached 80k ||Which might be gone next week, but hey||

[lean mango]

Saving em all for the 16th, around 14k gems to collect left

[tardy fiber]

||it will be earlier for me, volcanion on 13th ||

[lean mango]

||Would love to pull him on his release but deciding to wait for Emma's banner first because Poison privilege ||

[rare swan]

Nice saving everyone!

[tardy fiber]

Hoping for half anniv to have either poison/fairy/dark/electric/normal faves

[broken mulch]

It’s funny how everytime a fairy shows up I either hate them or someone else that I love more shows up at the same time

[tardy fiber]

Yep lately there's a bunch of good fairies released but i saw no legendaries, mythicals, UBs = skip

[chrome nest]

I’m back after being locked out of my account

[past gate]

[tardy fiber]

Wow, how do you get locked from your account? Your phone broke down?

[tawny cedar]

I think i wont get enough gems to pity Emma in time

I havent opened the game in a week lol

[chrome nest]

Long story

Customer support helped

I don’t care on what banner is coming I’m happy I have access to my account

And not tortured into hearing the title screen so many times

[vernal glade]

Wait, that’s real?

[weary spire]

Yep

So long as you didn't miss any days (which I did)

Well, and also got the extra interactions ASAP

[vernal glade]

Huh.

[hard wave]

I think I didnt get the extra interactions for the first 4 days so im at 990

2 more days I also got 100 gems for logging in for 1 year

[fringe ember]

I FORGOT ||PALANTINES||HAD RERUNS 😭

i really wanted || P-Marnie || bc she has steal wish

but I have like 4900 gems 💀

[vestal leaf]

That's like

The one banner type you're most likely to not get the unit in one multi

0.5%

[feral vale]

Legit

[timber wren]

sorry it didnt work out for you but please spoiler pulls in here, or post them in #salt-channel

[fringe ember]

what do you mean by spoiler pools?

[fringe ember]

I didn't think I would lol, I know the odds

[timber wren]

use double bars on either side of a message to spoiler it ||

we avoid talking directly about pulls in this channel since it is supposed to be a place free of temptation for other users

[fringe ember]

oh..?

okii np

[vestal leaf]

I think I might've forgot to spoiler tag when talking about my terrible pulls yesterday, so sorry, even tho I guess that's a disincentive from pulling

[mossy pecan]

I hit my first goal for saving!

[tardy fiber]

[sturdy plank]

i will get 4k gems soon

[signal halo]

I just noticed I barely have any willpower to keep playing

Even though I like playing alt iris more than Cyrus, I feel I have something missing

Unsure if it's colress or just something to bring me hype

[ashen thunder]

If you are that worried just pity colress in some banner you roll if you get the featured early

[drowsy saddle]

100 pulls start in around 10 days, that's another possibility

[tardy fiber]

121,855 ||waiting patiently for kalos VA part 2 ||

[weary spire]

For some of you guys, do you reckon there’s even a point to exchanging for 4* Strike candies with vouchers at this point?

Not only do we barely use them, but it almost feels like the ones we get from a new event’s boss stages for example almost have you covered anyway

The rest appear to just build up in excess no matter what

Soz meant only Striker, clarified

[tardy fiber]

I exchanged for them especially 4* tech and support candies

Oh strike

[weary spire]

Ye I do as well

But Striker I’m considering just abandoning entirely

Even using them up to save stamina at times, using them for Lodge Striker units, etc… still feels like it’s almost building up anyway

[tardy fiber]

I still exchange for them as i still only have 20+ in stock...might be useful for next anniv

As bpcandice and bpsophocles are both strikers last year

[weary spire]

What about when you hit 30+?

[tardy fiber]

Oh i will stop when 30

[weary spire]

Not to say still getting more past 30 or 40 is bad either btw

[tardy fiber]

Because have extra for 6+ units is a bit much

[weary spire]

I was just wondering bc yeah it still seems we get so many through diff means

It feels like it’d take years to drain so long as you’re doing other content

And if you ever drop to like 10+, you can consider exchanging for more again

That’s my plan anyway

[sturdy hatch]

Seems fair enough. For me I have too much stamina anyway what else am I going to use it for.

[weary spire]

Fair enough, I’ve always dumped into with the idea that I could never have too many

[sturdy hatch]

lmao I have 43 4* strike candies

[lapis pine]

I’ll honestly take the 4* candy over one or two 3* power ups

[weary spire]

43… yep

[lapis pine]

If I’m gonna build up resources anyway it doesn’t matter

[weary spire]

Ye that on paper sounds fair, but what if you knew you’d never run out of the 4* candy?

Or you were able to ensure that in some way

[lapis pine]

Well I’m not running out of 3* power ups anyway

[tardy fiber]

Yep, if they release candy conversion in the future?

[weary spire]

Do you exchange them?

[lapis pine]

I am consistently gaining them each month

Yep

[weary spire]

This is true

[sturdy hatch]

Each is what, 0.5% of an

?

[weary spire]

I consistently exchange, but I still run out of

[lapis pine]

I currently have like 500 of them and each month I get around 250 or more

[weary spire]

250?!

[lapis pine]

Really?

[weary spire]

Must be from pulls

[lapis pine]

Yeah idk maybe I’m estimating wrong

Yeah could be lol

[weary spire]

Nah not necessarily

You can get more than you’d think from that sometimes

[lapis pine]

I use all the stamina in the most efficient events usually

[weary spire]

Might not be 250 but still I could see it being a lot

Ye same

[sturdy hatch]

I suspect the numbers are quite high now because it's VA

and VA is the best

[weary spire]

I still burn through

[sturdy hatch]

for

[lapis pine]

I did get into a bad habit of dailies a few months ago so I could be misinformed because of that

[tardy fiber]

Even if its 20-40 4* strike candies to exchange for 1 5* , its still good ...i guess i gonna keep hoarding them

[lapis pine]

Like my estimation might be skewed

[weary spire]

I hear you ye

I do go p full on in exchanges

I should prob power up more of my 3*s

[lapis pine]

I powered up them a long time ago to be fair

[weary spire]

I keep focusing as default bc I have little urge or reason to power most of them up

[lapis pine]

I don’t exchange my 4* power ups anymore

I’ve started slowly using them on units

[weary spire]

I’m constantly exchanging for so yeah

[weary spire]

We’ll see if that ever happens

I will admit that makes me consider the 4* candy exchanges

[lapis pine]

That’s why I’m saving them

[weary spire]

Even if I don’t think it’ll actually happen, if DeNA was ever crazy enough to implement candy conversion

I would be kicking myself

But I’m also the one candying Lodge units other than Support, etc. So I’d be kicking myself anyway

[drowsy saddle]

Candy exchanges are just an idea of old players who see hoarded low-rarity resources and want more higher rarity ones.

It won't happen, there is simply no point for DeNa to implement it.

[weary spire]

I agree in large part really, it’s not something I’m gonna full on consider, esp because if I wanted to do so, I would never be candying 4*s if I had any other half-decent alternatives

[sturdy plank]

4,645 gems now

[weary spire]

TL;DR: Will keep spending stamina on over 4* Strike candy until I could see supply lessens or demand increases

[drowsy saddle]

Are all of your 4 star BP/Lodge strikers 5/5?

[weary spire]

Keep building up your gem count You should be able to get many times that by the end of the month

[weary spire]

Lemme check, but I don’t imagine so in the case of Supports and prooobably not Techs

[tardy fiber]

Maxed for me

[drowsy saddle]

I mentioned strikers specifically. If you 5/5 them with candies, you can get 4 per unit via BP/Lodge exchanges for their copies

[tardy fiber]

All 5/5

[weary spire]

Ah my mind’s fried sorry, skipped over Striker

[weary spire]

It seems I haven’t really, I guess I just don’t care to unless I feel any notable change

But I suppose that is a way to convert Strike candies to

In which case you can somewhat reassess the value of their exchange

[hardy creek]

OOOOOO WAIT I MIGHT DO THAT I NEED

[weary spire]

I think that may be a good point in favour of exchanging more even still

Thanks, I think I’ll prob do that honestly

If I exchange vouchers for power-ups, then it makes sense that I should exchange for candy because I still get decent power-ups for my vouchers

[tardy fiber]

Im saving normal bp vouchers, in case anni release more 4* bp techs and supports

Just gonna dupe them

[weary spire]

I suppose it still costs vouchers but I’m not getting enough new BP units fast enough anyway

[drowsy saddle]

Waiting for anni releases is a good bet, vouchers are still going to pile up all the year.
Lodge is a bit more consistent, one unit a month, even if it might be limited.

[weary spire]

I used most of my vouchers just now

No regrets tho

Also like 10 candies

[drowsy saddle]

Still got six months to go

[weary spire]

Ye 0 rush, never use them all

It at least answered the q of should I exchange

If I have nothing better, sure, it’s just like exchanging for power-ups but a lil better

[tardy fiber]

Ouch i can only level up one more time, i gonna miss full stamina when leveled up

[rare swan]

I hit 130 a few days ago

Weird feeling!

[vestal leaf]

Stopped getting 3-4* candies I have 40+ of

3* supports
4* strike

No reason to get them I feel since I have so many already

[tardy fiber]

Hope to reach 130 when kalos part 2 starts, faster farming orbs for sycamore power boost

[dire meteor]

Level 150 PR when

I really hate that the stamina count ends in 256

[timber wren]

missed opportunity to have it reset to 0 after 255

[past gate]

afternoon gem zen

[sturdy plank]

next reset is gonna be big

[spare swift]

What's next reset?

[sturdy hatch]

BV and LA

[ashen thunder]

1 full multi to save

[spare swift]

Ou

Wait..

Today's LG last day!

[past gate]

stamina rally as well

[upbeat lotus]

So many gems next reset

[signal halo]

I tried that, but ended up getting the pair too early

[sturdy flower]

suffering from success

[signal halo]

There's also the problem that there isn't anything worth pulling among current banners

I already have N, 4 pair banners at 7% rates are cursed and Palentine doesn't have big pairs this year

[sturdy hatch]

Half anni is soon

[sturdy flower]

2nd and 3rd half anni had a MF right after

MF 12% rate

just hope it's someone you like

also 100 free draws

[fallen path]

Also the free champion select scout

[sturdy flower]

2nd Anni had MF right before, my bad

[signal halo]

Master fairs aren't really great for sniping colress, since the featured pair has less chances of arriving

But if it's someone big, I'll pull for them, regardless

[ashen thunder]

I mean

The point being if you roll early you pick colress from pity

Since you have 36.6k gems

And he's also a target

But yea it does suck when you think abt it since picking dupe or skipping is better objectively

But he's a fav so might as well go for it

tbf if he was a real fav, you'd have just went all the way in that banner for him

♿♿♿

[signal halo]

I got the featured in the first 11 pulls

Then felt it wasn't worth it, because I thought colress would be featured in the steel type specific banner for LG

And he wasn't

[ashen thunder]

That still wouldn't matter if colress was your fav

Is what I am trying to say

Coz if you are rolling a banner

It means you are ready to blow 36.6k gems

And since you stopped after getting featured

It means you don't have other targets in that banner

[signal halo]

Colress is almost always available

That's the sole thing that prevented me from going all the way on his spotlight

As well as candying him to 3/5

Day 1

The only reason why I don't blow 36.6k regardless of how early the featured arrives

Is that I won't ever have gems for a select scout

So if I miss a featured pair, I just miss it

And I've sought here for advice regarding dropping 33k for colress

[sturdy flower]

we told him not to because he's new and always on the edge of no gems

well, was more new than he is now at that point at tbe very least

||I already randomly got Colress while going for something else||

[signal halo]

I have gems now, though I haven't been really playing these last few days

Sitting around 90k

But with a trickier objective now

Than canon Unova completion

I'm trying to fix all my weaker types, which currently include ghost, poison and perhaps something I'm forgetting

[sturdy flower]

|| Going for Emma?||

[signal halo]

Yes

[sturdy flower]

if you really like Unova you could make it the meta Unova units also

||Altho Emma is a precious girl, good choice||

im surprised Kalos VA has no Dexio and Sina

and no Xerosic

[signal halo]

I would go for the Unova legends, but like

Anni N just left

Which means that goal isn't possible anymore

[sturdy flower]

it is very much possible, he's going to rerun again for sure

[ashen thunder]

They used to do that with pokefair

When the reruns were fairly rare

Eventually they just started to rerun old units over and over

Maybe one day MFs get to that point as well

[deep mantle]

SO TRUE SO TRUE

[cunning swan]

101k!

[weary spire]

Ye I was saying the same, but realised it was still worth it if I could exchange for

If you don’t really care to grind with leftover stamina tho, then it’s just kinda whatever I suppose

[timber wren]

i still grab them on the long shot chance that they allow us to trade up for better candies but are largely useless to me at this point too so it’s not like i’m losing anything

[signal halo]

Then they release the ultra fairs

0.5% odds for the featured pair, 15% for 5 star

[weary spire]

I hear you, I think it’s just that the candies are more / actually useless to me practically rn

However just bc you can convert to power-ups doesn’t mean you have to rn, so there’s still value in holding them

I should at least get the candies to hold onto for conversion
And yeah, if there’s that long shot chance even if I never see it happening, that’s cool as well

[feral vale]

Wait

Candying someone to 6/5 equals a ?

[junior trout]

yup

[hardy creek]

You can't candy someone past 5/5

however what ron is saying is that

for NPC events or lodge units

[drowsy saddle]

You can't "candy" someone to 6/5, it simply doesn't give you the option.
You can candy to 5/5 and receive copies from other sources, like BP/Lodge exchange.

[hardy creek]

if you candy them to 5/5 instead of exchanging for copies of them, you can then exchange for copies after they hit 5/5 and get power ups instead of move levels

[feral vale]

That’s what I thought.

[crisp oracle]

30k. Inching closer to pity

[willow pollen]

Keep up the hard work!

[robust shore]

A bit over 10k left 👀

I don’t think ive ever saved this much, definitely gotten close but not quite there haha

[tardy fiber]

Villa is coming this reset , and we still haven't got sycamore power boost

[sturdy flower]

||Deoxys, Lugia is a dreamteam for Villa that you have||

||outside of Pikachu duo||

[tardy fiber]

||i just gonna use my usual deoxys, redlax, sskris ||

||time to try my fresh lvl 150 sssteven||

[chrome nest]

||I have plans to go after Lysandre and volcanion but you know me I’m dumb so plans changes||

[weary spire]

Exactly what Rikko & Gon said, essentially

That’s what I mean by convert to power-ups, because it essentially does just that

[weary spire]

Keep it up! With BV and more upcoming, you’ll have that pity in no time

[sturdy flower]

8 days

[lament hornet]

oh right i'm getting 4k gems tomorrow

5k even (idk actually forgor what's tomorrow aside from villa and LA 💀 )

[sand crown]

special rally I believe

[lament hornet]

ah

and i get 1k for the lodge interactions

gonna be at like 15-16k

[tough oriole]

[rare swan]

Beeg gem this reset

[crisp oracle]

Do you get the gems even if you skip over villa bits?

[rare swan]

Yep

They're automatically given

[crisp oracle]

Nice

Do you always get skip once you clear it?

So then I can get 2k free every month?

[sturdy flower]

you have to clear it every time

[rare swan]

Yep, if you don't clear the last 10 floors (unskippable) you lose your skip

So you do have to do it

[hard wave]

5400 gems for me I think btw what r the bulu missions?

[upbeat lotus]

Check #1009562367803261078

[robust shore]

oh wow really?
big gem payout tomorrow, sweet

[vernal glade]

That means I be 98k tomorrow.

[hard wave]

Ye 4300 cuz of bulu missions rally villa blissey bonanza and login

[sturdy plank]

just a few more minutes

[weary spire]

Me when I do my LG last second, but I get a phone call and wouldn't be rude enough to not answer / rush the call to an end just to finish something in a game

So I finish my 10th run at 5:01pm after the distraction and don't get the 10th win reward

It's just 1 gold candy coin. It's just 1.

Oh wait. Nevermind, they changed it bc of the ranking thing

[cunning swan]

Folks please don't do your runs last minute to avoid unexpected events like this

[weary spire]

Totally, totally expected

But yes, don’t procrastinate Even if you think you have it perfectly calculated in your head, because you’re that bad a procrastinator

[sturdy hatch]

A 10 is a 10!

[weary spire]

[lean mango]

Reached 100k officially

[weary spire]

Either way, while it's still true that these rewards are of note for the effort put in, it really is just a single coin for that win for instance. At the end of the day, you still shouldn't beat yourself up over not being able to hit whatever threshold or if you missed out on something once for a particular reason

...But procrastination isn't a good excuse, I'm just goofy

[weary spire]

Grats!! Huge milestone!

[lean mango]

Thankfully I get to keep it that way for a bit longer than a couple of minutes

[weary spire]

Not even that far from 3 pities when you think about it

Less than 10k away

[lean mango]

I calculated it but I won't have 2k by the time Emma drops

Would love to save to get my third pity ||but Crobat is such a big fav I can't bear waiting any longer||

[weary spire]

We all save for a reason

You're doing well for yourself, so keep it up! Good saving habits will carry you through for all of your favs

[lean mango]

True, I've got to the point where that I really don't get tempted at all by non faves at all and really never get in the way

Hope that half anni month lets me save at least

[cunning swan]

February is a full skip month for me

Come at me half anni

[lean mango]

Honestly won't have any regret for this month, Crobat is fav tier at like Eusine level kek

[hard wave]

1/3rd of the way there, trying to save for 1 pity then ill pull next month

I think the only gems I dont have rn r the 900 from the rally

[dire meteor]

You can do it.

[tardy fiber]

done with everything from this reset finally, except the timegated ones...125,755

i just realised that the only pair in my fave list that have "gym leader" tag is ssmorty ...sskorrina, falliris, anniskyla, scjasmine all doesnt have gym leader tag

[sturdy hatch]

They have ascended beyond gym leadership

[sturdy plank]

7,645 gems now

[past gate]

waiting on the 18th 6k gems

[tardy fiber]

Sad, so i cannot do faves run for LA gym leader mission

Out of lodge guests again

[sturdy hatch]

imagine if the gym leaders used legendaries

[upbeat lotus]

Go play the PWT in BW2

[sturdy hatch]

That's them ascending beyond gym leadership!

[cunning swan]

The league doesn't allow the gym leaders to use legendaries on a rookie trainer for a reason

And then there's them looking the other way for ss morty

[tardy fiber]

Anniskyla only have 4 theme tags, they could just put gym leader there

Ssmorty have 5 theme tags

I wonder if the datamine will be faster or the teaser from pokemon day 2023

[clever oyster]

4745 gems now...

[opaque cargo]

Now i have 9k gem. My hands feel itchy to pull again. Help me

[upbeat lotus]

Stop thinking about pulling

[timber wren]

we're a little over two weeks out from half anni update

[opaque cargo]

Cause i want to catch em all

This slogan. Really had me

[timber wren]

how bad will it feel if you blow your gems now and then have nothing for the next month's units

[violet nebula]

Pretty bad

[opaque cargo]

Huhu

Stop hand please stop

[sturdy hatch]

Catch 'em all at 36k gems

[opaque cargo]

Lol

[violet nebula]

Catch none at 36k gems😆

[opaque cargo]

Inside limited banner mostly is general pool unit?

If there is unit i want next month. Hope i can get it in 3 10 pulls

[drowsy saddle]

Or you can save and get them guaranteed

[opaque cargo]

Yeah hopefully can get to 36.6k

But i dunno if i can do it if there is blaziken

[violet nebula]

Run up to anni starts in 9 resets

Lots of gems incoming then what they add for the full half anni

[cunning swan]

even mainline pokemon has stopped using this slogan in years

in a gacha game it's heavily unrealistic

[junior trout]

after today i now have like 8.7k gems, and this whole month is a skip month for me

[violet nebula]

You will reach a pity, brilliant

[tardy fiber]

Even Ash didn't catch them all

Red also missing mew in adventures Red

[sand crown]

Creeping ever so closer to that 2nd pity again

[little briar]

Almost to 90k gems

Maybe I'll reach 6 digits before Alola VA

Oh wait I should hit 90 soon ish because we haven't gotten the rally gems from the Kalos VA too

[violet nebula]

Don't forget galar VA😅

[sly breach]

Which leon pair is getting a rerun

[cunning swan]

Leon & Charizard. the base one. master fair

speaking of, I completely forgot he's finally rerunning

[hard wave]

Hopefully, this month is a bit easier to save since nothing I rlly care for

[vestal leaf]

Back to 180k

Thanks free 3k

Now we wait for datamine

[sturdy flower]

143.5k, so I will... maybe? hit 150

[vestal leaf]

Yeah definitely

[sturdy flower]

thing is ||in 7 days some will disappear||

[vestal leaf]

There's like

18-19k

Left this month

[rare swan]

Beeeeeg gems today

[vestal leaf]

How many gems you at after Shauna and Diantha Tai

Did you 3/5 or 5/5 them?

[rare swan]

||Shauna 3/5, SS Diantha 5/5||

250k free gems exactly

||and LySS and Emma will steal 36.6k each ||

[cunning swan]

[feral vale]

I’m at 42k!

[copper zodiac]

[opaque cargo]

What the…u were like what not pull at all? Wait u got 5/5 ss diantha?

250k like what not pull for 10 months?

[timber wren]

tai only pulls for their faves

we got like 375k gems in 2022, you can still pull for units and save a lot as long as you’re selective

[hard wave]

How many pairs do we get for anni usually? Iirc we had SS Red + a few spotlights for .5 anni leon marnie diantha and ciris for 1.5 and 2.5 had the anni trio and zerena

Unless im missing somebody ~4?

[timber wren]

4 new limited sounds reasonable

[sturdy flower]

3 for anni + 1 half month sounds plausible

[timber wren]

i checked and i pulled on 16 banners last year with free gems and still saved an additional ~90k gem surplus, so an average of 1.3 banners per month

[sturdy flower]

11 for me, but I started on half anni

also had surplus left

[timber wren]

ofc if i had to pity all of those banners i surely could not have afforded them so all of our usual advice of not pulling without pity still applies, but more often than not you will not need to pity for one copy

[sturdy flower]

the reality of not saving is you will have to pity when you REALLY want something and didn't save

desire sensor

[lunar topaz]

I believe I can pity a fav today I’m very happy

[fallen path]

[hardy creek]

Better to have a pity and not need it than need a pity and not have it

[lunar topaz]

I like that mindset

That put things into better perspective

I can finally save I’m Hoping Dena does not release a Caitlin alt next month because I will cry

[violet nebula]

We see what you did there🤣

[lunar topaz]

I’m not sure what even i did there

[violet nebula]

H...
Ho...
"Hop"...
Hoping.....🤣

[fallen path]

Hop to it lol

[lunar topaz]

Oh

Is next month spring lel

[vernal glade]

I think so

[topaz compass]

I hit 100k saved recently

It feels good to be over 100k for the first time since the bug brothers released

That was almost a year ago

[violet nebula]

The bug brothers were totally worth it😅

[rustic heron]

oh 100%

bug weak stages get annihilated

[violet nebula]

Off typing to is quite nice

[tardy fiber]

I skipped the bug bros, also thanks DeNa for making Genesect bug type...cannot thank you enough, i thought i will be stuck with only lusamine as bug fave

[sturdy flower]

I didn't go for any bug yet... Volcarona was enough

and that was from a free ticket

hard to top Volcarona for me, probably a Heracross

[feral vale]

||AGREEEEED!!!!!||

||SS Hilbert is a literal lifesaver!||

[sturdy flower]

you like mostly protags, right?

[deft glen]

I have both Emmets, but none of the Ingos

Both Hilbert and Emmet keep me safe for bug

[deft glen]

I started around that time as well, but I went for 18

[sturdy flower]

how many gems do you have now?

i went for pretty much all new master fairs so yeah... seen pity a few times

[deft glen]

I had around 50-55k when January started, I think

[sturdy flower]

||then again, it evened out afterwards||

I spent about 42k this year and I'm at around 144k now

i'm expecting masterfairs to zero me before summer again if I'm not cautious

also not counting the units from selects and free Alder

[deft glen]

The only NEW master fair I didn't go for was SS Kris cuz SS Lyra emptied me

[tough oriole]

||He makes Burgh even better ||

[sturdy flower]

well... that month I hit 0 gems...

and I had 100k before, this year I'm going to be prepared

[deft glen]

I started saving more after SS Lyra

I wanted SS Kris so much but couldn't have her

[tardy fiber]

I gonna prepare gems for March potential MF...i almost miss zerena last time, not gonna let it happen again to any of my fave

[deft glen]

Zerena is the only reason I'm playing this lol

[tardy fiber]

I didn't know ||they hid half of the month's existence, and i spent a bunch of gems to make annimay and anniskyla 3/5 because i thought nothing gonna come out other than them||

Then zerena and french dataminers happened

[deft glen]

I wish I had known I could've rerolled when I started

|| Almost pitied her ||

[fallen path]

Johto VA was definitely a month I think a lot of people wished they saved enough pities

So you aren’t alone there

Throwing 3 master fairs in the same month I think was definitely unexpected then

[rare swan]

Like Cami said, if a unit isn't a fave I don't pull lots of skip months

[tardy fiber]

Im happy that there's not many unused region master passives remaining... although duplicate MF passive is kinda a thing now due to ssacynthia, but they probably won't release 3 MF at once for the same region that already has Spirit, pride, flag bearer

They might do multiple on anniv but its probably for different regions

Hoping for duplicate kalos, kanto MF passive give it on a fave this time

Oh galar still have 2 unused

[sand crown]

Not the worst thing to happen in the world if it was those two

[tardy fiber]

Just if i know zerena will come out, why should i spend more gems for dupe to get them both to 3/5

[broken mulch]

SSHilbert crushed me, couldn’t get me

Stuck with Alder and Guzma for my bug clearing needs haha

[tardy fiber]

Use gladion

[tough oriole]

Use burgh

[upbeat lotus]

Use Lusamine

[deft glen]

use noland

[lunar topaz]

I’d dis-advise against “hyping” up limited pairs it may bait people into wanting them when they’re not really necessary

[crisp oracle]

Especially here in Gem Zen

Spoil that, just to be safe i suggest

[lunar topaz]

I’d just delete it personally that and Annie’s message

[ashen thunder]

hyping genesect is fine coz everyone here will have alder by the end of month

♿♿♿

[lunar topaz]

I’m going to save the ticket and then forgot about it

[feral vale]

Duh, lemme spoiler it.

[lunar topaz]

I don’t like spoiling it either cause both messages could give the impression that this unit is worth going after even if not a fav at least how I interpret it and wouldn’t want to get people to go after a pair they would’ve already pulled for if they want them

[feral vale]

I’ve seen small spoiler walls, they can be about anything, really.

[ashen thunder]

If they think it's worth going for gameplay when they are saving for favs
Then they deserve to fall for it

Imagine doing gameplay rolls in this game

[timber wren]

we’re not here to admonish people for falling for common gacha pitfalls

[lunar topaz]

It’s why I think those messages should be deleted

🐴

[weary spire]

Dunno if I will but I’m just fine hyping Guzma & Lusamine

[lunar topaz]

I use bugsy and Noland for bug week

[weary spire]

Respectable

I’ve used Noland before, not sure if I used Bugsy yet, I’ll try him soon

I spammed Egg Scyther far too much overall

[fallen path]

you're talking about the bugsy and scyther sync pair that still hasn't reran yet?

[lunar topaz]

I wish I had him

[fallen path]

all the other pairs around that time (and giovanni and persian) will have reran before bugsy and scyther

[weary spire]

I wish I had him too

We all wish we had him

[fallen path]

its not even a jessie and james situation

[weary spire]

Mhm

For now, the only Bugsy pair for us to use is with Beedrill

[fallen path]

we just have to beelieve scyther will rerun eventually

[sturdy hatch]

Poggers

[lean mango]

Used Lusamine since never and she turned out better than expected tbh

[sturdy hatch]

Lusamine is great! if they have no aoe and don't sync

[lean mango]

Had to go for different params since I'm not used to really fragile units but turned out well maybe because FCaitlin but oh well

[lunar topaz]

I tried that team in the past and it didn’t work lel

[lean mango]

If ya want the params

[lunar topaz]

I’m going to stick to bugsy and Noland lel I also prefer dual strikes but ty lel

[fallen path]

richu never chooses gradual heal lol

[lunar topaz]

I’ve used lusamime for a 3K stage alongside bugsy and it was the easiest part of that run

That too lel

I hate gradual healing witha passion

[fallen path]

but one of the opponents next week has it, so free parameter to choose it

[lunar topaz]

That’s true

[lean mango]

I've gotten so used to having the gradual healing param

Tho I don't remember what the round param was, but it was round 1

[weary spire]

Pre-sync and/or Sycamore sync but mostly pre-sync

[weary spire]

[lean mango]

I wanna keep up with Champion Gauntlet since I had fun doing it for Johto

[lunar topaz]

I’ve lost so many runs to it lel

[lean mango]

gonna use my worst pairs while I got the chance for this round

I've gotten a nice outlook on pairs I've never used tbh

Who needs the always new and shiny ones

[tardy fiber]

But i didn't hype it, i just thankful that they made one of my fave a bug type...sc subway bros are limited pairs as well and i skipped due to accelgor and escavalier aint a fave

[lunar topaz]

I see

Apologies I interpreted it as hyping them up from you and Annie’s message

[tardy fiber]

Only left slither wing now from my fave list to hope for bug type

Well they can also release shiny pheromosa and buzzwole

[lean mango]

shiny Genesect

[tardy fiber]

Also not like people can pull genesect now ...so hyping current || palentine units, anabel, emma, sslysandre, ssdiantha||, is worse

[tardy fiber]

I won't mind if this one is steel

[lean mango]

I usually talk about units without spoilers if they aren't expected to run since hype dies after a while

[tardy fiber]

Steel techno blast

[lean mango]

I have now just realized that Techno blast is a normal type move

[tardy fiber]

But we can hype champion pairs i guess as we will get one for free later, but there's also champion banner as well

But spending gems on old units that aren't fave sounds bad

[lean mango]

You have 0 regrets when it's a fave ~~ Fall super seasonal banner my beloved ~~

More hyped than 3.0 Anni

[grim plover]

70k for the first time, feels good to be safe for the 3.5 Anni

[fallen path]

Run up to free 10 Multis in 8 days

[lean mango]

Yoooo! nice

[tardy fiber]

Hope they will release trailer again and tease 1 of the half anni pairs

They teased annimay last year

Anniskyla and anniraihan revealed on pokemon day video instead

[lean mango]

Pokemon Direct is happening later in the month right?

[tardy fiber]

Yep 27th or 28th i forgot but pretty sure there's already datamine that time

[lean mango]

dang

Would be nice to see the trailer still tho

[fallen path]

Pomas section will be 10 seconds again

[tardy fiber]

Well at least perhaps got SV dlc news

[dire meteor]

Hopefully 3k gems upon pokemon day stream

Or 6k

[tardy fiber]

Oh right we got 3k last time iirc

But i forgot its on pokemon day or half anni video

[dire meteor]

Pokemon Day

[tardy fiber]

Neat

[dire meteor]

I think it was out by the time Pokemon Day dropped the PoMa section?

[tardy fiber]

Got high hopes this half anni

1. we run out of pairs to grid
2. hoping for half anni pairs
3. hisui copium

[fallen path]

The only near guarantee at half anni is the lorelei grid lol

[tardy fiber]

Yep

Lorelei alt

[lean mango]

Jessie and James Rerun pls I need it

[fallen path]

Unless dena says no new grids, just grid expansions on existing grids

[tardy fiber]

I will 20/20 giopersian if there's Jessie and James rerun...well only 20/20, i still wont

[sturdy flower]

Anni Florian but it's actually the girl

[lean mango]

I need Jessie and James to nearly complete the collection

Marnie still waiting for a month I have no faves in to consider her

[fallen path]

Need Jessie and James to run the team rocket trio in the content we have

[sturdy flower]

Do Jessie and James have dialogues with Giovanni?

[tardy fiber]

I also hopium for palmer Regigigas as we will probably get another 3* gear event on march and kalos cs last week have types that all already got 3* gears, so 3* normal gear might be in the works

[fallen path]

And also when we had free NPC units, I wouldn’t mind another one

[tardy fiber]

Yep, they've been skipping 2 seasons now last xmas and this palentine

[sturdy flower]

every other month so far

[tardy fiber]

I wont mind water or fairy gear as well, as i got pairs of that typings that are a tank

So more defense is welcome

[sturdy flower]

It usually releases alongside unit of that type

another water pair

[tardy fiber]

Manaphy

[sturdy flower]

Manaphy is peak anni material

[tardy fiber]

Not sure how many water fave left for me...theres manaphy, phione, and one of the tapu is water isnt it?

[lean mango]

ye

[tardy fiber]

My faves list grows over time, waiting for the day that i can do 15 streaks gauntlet with just faves

[fallen path]

Still won’t get into top 5000

[tardy fiber]

[hard wave]

I think the spring seasonals rerun in april

[tardy fiber]

Well at least i manage to take pic before rancer took my spot

[sturdy flower]

well... you can

[tardy fiber]

Probably can after this real anniv, i lack 2 supports

[sturdy flower]

multiple of your faves can solo several LAs

and duo is easy often too

[tardy fiber]

2 bp master faves will be nice icing on the cake

[fallen path]

A lot of us overtook you lol

[tardy fiber]

[hard wave]

Fini

[sturdy flower]

there's no way they will skip pink kyogre

no way

[tardy fiber]

Neo champion may

Give her primal

[hard wave]

SS Archie and Shiny Primal Kyogre

[tardy fiber]

Man, if they release hisui as different region tag...i might get more duplicate shiny faves

There's also cresselia, darkrai, mesprit, dialga, palkia, giratina, shaymin, tornadus, landorus there

[sturdy flower]

Giratina still has another form

[tardy fiber]

Oh right if cut another form, so cresselia and darkrai shiny only probably

Oh mesprit

Others might be non shiny but just alternate form

[sturdy flower]

Heatran

[tardy fiber]

There's still no heatran here...so first release high chance non shiny

The three of those mentioned already have non shiny here and don't have another form

Well i can accept cyllene with shiny darkrai

[sturdy flower]

she's getting Abra

[tardy fiber]

Good as well, more skip means more gems save

[weary spire]

[umbral meteor]

shuld be on feb 22

since thats when run up part 2 day is?

[ashen thunder]

I get 1000 gems tdy from the interaction mission

[opaque cargo]

Guzma lusamine i approve. Lusamine is fav. Blaziken is fav. And i need that op sst red

[ashen thunder]

Will hit 17k gems with it

[vernal glade]

I was 5 gems away to 98k.

[mossy pecan]

Just hit 10k after Villa. Next goal: 15k

[tardy fiber]

Neat, so before datamine

[lean mango]

Gem count, forgot to post it oop but lfg

Still a few more resets to go

[umbral meteor]

2-5 days before

[tardy fiber]

I love official tease like that, its been a while. since annimay, dev letter containing palbea/marnie and anniN tease before...well other tease are human error like that summer N

[violet nebula]

Need dophan and heracross in this game

Who would get paired with them though?🤔

A tauros (pokefair or spotlight) also be nice, maybe Oak?

[sly breach]

Lear dophan lodge

[tardy fiber]

Arena Tycoon Greta Heracross

[lapis pine]

Gem update

[sturdy plank]

8,455 gems now

[sturdy plank]

that was fast

[lapis pine]

Just grabbed an extra 500 from finishing BV

[sly breach]

Do you think redlax would get a rerun for 3.5 anni?

[torpid prawn]

[sturdy plank]

i think it would be too early for his rerun

oh nvm

[mild spindle]

Probably one of the most unpredictable pairs. Since he’s a support that gives so he can work for any LA or event.

Hasn’t had a free gem banner in a while, so maybe. A lot of 2022 pairs haven’t reran once yet though.

[sly breach]

Well then i guess ||i would not be sparking mallow||, sad but if redlax get rerun i wanna have gems for that instead

[mild spindle]

Well ssBrendan exists, so you could always save for him over Pallow

[cunning swan]

Idk why they seem to refuse rerunning villain arc units in non-paid banners

Redlax is an outlier

[vernal glade]

Is 109k a 3rd pity? Currently at 98k.

[feral vale]

One sec, time to math

109,800

[vernal glade]

Alrighty thank you.

[timber wren]

it’s been pretty much all new pokefairs. i think bede is the only one from last year to get a free rerun

and lucas too i suppose

[cunning swan]

Not like there are too many 2022 pokefairs that I want anyway... At this point it's just ss morty left

But still....

[sly breach]

Yes, champions select will have Diantha

[bleak falcon]

Most likely it will, but it’s not 100% since we don’t know the select’s full roster yet

[sly breach]

So the list in the sync pair information is not certain?

[drowsy saddle]

Banner pools can't be datamined. We only have three units from the picture for certain

[sly breach]

so the info there has been there since 27th

[drowsy saddle]

You can always visit #1012256199128915968, you know that?
Or even dare to visit #reaction-toggle-old and #datamines.

[mild spindle]

added a little note to that section to clear up confusion

[sand crown]

I hope that lineup stays intact

[feral vale]

Also the ticket doesn’t expire until April

[sturdy flower]

that lineup is very likely

[tardy fiber]

Hoping that march lodge guest is a pair that i already have, so i can select cynthia from the free champion select with ease

[bleak falcon]

Why would March’s Lodge addition affect that?

[tardy fiber]

Well if its lodge steven/diantha/lance/alder...i already had to select them instead from the ticket

There's only 1 free unit

But if its someone i already have, i can just pick cynthia...my only missing lodge guest

[bleak falcon]

Don’t pick based on Lodge completion, IMO

[tardy fiber]

I would pick because all of them arent faves

Not like i will use them

Other than lodge

[bleak falcon]

That’s not a guarantee, but you do you I guess

[tardy fiber]

Well cynthia is in the free champion select banner pic, so she's guaranteed at least

I not gonna waste gems on the champion banner, so i just hope to get what i'm missing through the free select...so if march guest is another general pool unit, it will be great

Or some limited that i already got like lucas/gloria

[reef river]

No, i do think thats a valid consideration

You get a lot of rewards

[bleak falcon]

Eh, fair enough

[reef river]

I didnt grab raihan on the paid scout only bc i figured he would be back more often than ss brendan

Or lucas

[tardy fiber]

Yep as they are all not faves anyway, and im well covered on their typings...might as well add new limited lodge guest for free, i can 150 another 2 of my faves with it

Also that , and 1 of each move coins

[chrome nest]

I am overwhelmed by all of the current events

[sturdy flower]

"for free"

[tough oriole]

The ticket is free

[tardy fiber]

Yep free on 27th feb

Also Cynthia on banner pic

So she is guaranteed at least will be in the select

There's the dates on #1012256199128915968

[sturdy hatch]

Oh good, that means we'll have the datamine already!

[cunning swan]

105k

[tardy fiber]

[tardy fiber]

Same day as Pokémon day, maybe will even have SV DLC news

[tough oriole]

Gen 10 Pokémon Confirmed
||With EOS as DLC||

[rustic heron]

[vale ivy]

Does this select already exist in this month's update tho

[tough oriole]

Yep

It’s on the 27th, but by then we’ll have the datamine

[sturdy hatch]

Can see if any other champions get a lodge pair

[tardy fiber]

Yep thats why i hope March guest is a pair that i already have so that i can safely select Cythia

[sturdy hatch]

[tardy fiber]

Congrats

[sly breach]

Was watching pull videos on YouTube and then it i started thinking that pulling must really be boring to these guys any general pool 5 star is just a ticket now

[tardy fiber]

I am still missing colress/shauna/gordie/melony

Still need more move levels for lucian and aaron

I'm hoarding jukebox coins, in case we can get kalos e4 cs tracks

[upbeat lotus]

Next week is a rough week, stay strong gem zenners

[lapis pine]

Free 100 pairs

[upbeat lotus]

Hope it gives me good pulls

[rare swan]

All of these pairs are bait

[tardy fiber]

Hopefully we already get video trailer for half anni on the day we start to get free x100 pulls

[rare swan]

Definite skips until Anni

[tardy fiber]

Iirc last year video trailer highlighted that x100 pull

And revealed annimay

[sturdy hatch]

Looks like they all expire after Anni,

After datamine*

[upbeat lotus]

Tbh they are good bait

Still cant beat the ultimate bait SS Steven

[rare swan]

Ssssshhhhhhhh

The bait keeps getting better but Zenners are STRONG

[tardy fiber]

Who needs these units when we have plenty of accessible f2p units

[weary spire]

Good ones to skip indeed
