#Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)
1 messages · Page 53 of 1
There's EBE on 15, 17, 18
ah, so maybe on 17th I will hit that gem count if I do EBE asap
I'm getting a 1k from lodge in 3 days
Koga saves the day
Only 18th will be a problem, the EBE highlights leon capabilities too much...i hope i can at least get 300
what are the requirements?
Galar
I will probably run Sonia, Cheryl and Koga for 17th
But that different entryx2 for mid and sides are hassle so striker aoe sync might not work much
Galar, and what about the gimmick? I heard sentry x2 and wise x2 at once?
How much hp on mid/sides?
Also reduce accuracy to highlight his piercing gaze
fire weak?
I have a single special Galar unit
My Galar roster isn't too good... because it's my least liked region
ah, but Nessa is Galar, so it should be doable
worst case scenario
Gloria have behemoth blade and hop have behemoth bash so more damage if have sync buffs
their speed though
I gonna try to bring ssleon and djgloria hoping for max move can help kill one of them each
slow as snail unless you tank with the likes of Sonia, and then no free behemoth bashes for you
it will be no issue with any decent special unit
The enemy are gloria mid, hop side and a marnie toxicroak also at side
62,900 hp gloria, 7,400 hp hop and marnie
hmm, is it buffed or was it like that during the first run too?
Oh nice pretty sure max move can delete side
There's no EBE when leon first run
This is new
Gonna eternabeam mid 
Thankfully ||no big dent to my gem count after pulling for SSLysandre, but moment of weakness there||. Least I'll be back to 90k gems and then some after the 3k from the twitter rally last month + bonanza and the flare event
Free poke fair when
2 weeks

3/23/20...
The 21st, but don’t expect it
oh, it was 24 last year?
Not that long now 
Ya, February going by fast.
I wouldn’t mind 23rd-24th.
27th theres already trailer for pokemon presents...iirc that's pokemon day
i think they will drop some gems right after the pokemon presents
so they will want the update up earlier
instead of people downloading the game just for it to want update right away
24th is friday so most likely that or the 23rd
Friday is a possibility now.
There’s only been one friday update but the 23rd seems really early
So i’ll guess 24
i mean, not much difference
as long as they don't decide to go with 27th 😄
i'd rather they don't because im celebrating something else
Cancel it for datamine
Not long to wait
no no, it is more important than datamine 😉
How many gems until the 24th
It is important, but they could show the 3.5 anniversary units in there.
they should give us a sneak peek of one of the units anyways
i heard they revealed her during the run up
i'd probably bite an electric terrain support with crit
I will bit any legendaries, mythicals, UBs, paradoxes 
😋
Ill bite if something cool comes up
i'm gonna fix this soon
Guys
?
||I Lost Temptation and pulled for volcanion i thought was fun unit to use cause,took me 15k...i had 60k gems now 45k im scared if i lose Temptation on crobat too||
avoid the sync pair scout page as much as you can
||at least volcanion Is OP but i risked It,15k was good at least?||
swipe left from the pokemon center thumbnail to reach the daily scout page. do your daily battles, then dip
every new pair is OP nowadays
I could ve been fine even without him cause but Is fine now tbh...
the more you stay at the sync pair scout page, the more you are tempted to pull for new units. I suggest just do your dailies as quickly as possible and do something else, stop thinking about the game so much
good luck
||imo as damage Kris Is third
Kyogre second
Volcanion First of these Tree as damage||
||i pulled volcanion cause i got impressed when i saw he had 400 SPATK BASE and his move damage 156/188 damage...he hit like a truck||
95,255 gems... recovering...hope can reach 6 digits back 
sure, his damage is great and all, but remember new strikers get stronger and stronger all the time as time goes on. if you're only chasing big damage, no doubt you'll get overwhelmed
set priorities, make a list of favorites
||you got impressed by a 400 spl atk base in an era we get 500+ base offenses unit with Omega tier kits|| 
Meta rolling 🚮
||Casually 500++ offense stats|| 
And 484 speed
Dena purposefully refusing to rerun kanto va event
Not even mega yet 
But then they go and release smooth criminal Giovanni

Mewtwo is an absolute beast by even today's standards
Lusa who when you got mewtwo😆
With all the sync countdown help out there, getting him to mega is even faster
I love legendary adventures units and their power boosts...its like DeNa giving us 8 free strong units for no reason 
No gems needed
Not many gacha games out there giving strong units for free
Usually the free starter units they gave is the weakest of the bunch
Well she does have a big funny factor by syncing at end of first cycle
And oneshotting stage
Without crit buffs
Yea she is a novelty, got here to
But mewtwo will always be the first legendary love, and his movie... evil sod
Pikachu tears😭
My first legendary fave is solgaleo, well because when i joined poma, its legendary event was running
My first was silver and oh-ho
I still remembered I struggled badly on the daily extreme battle(and not able to clear it)
||looks like my pull luck on friday is going to be a pity|| this game is just annoying now
so wait
that person gets to have two Top 10 lists, one for trainers and one for Pokémon
yet I had to simplify my Top 10 trainer list and Top 5 Pokémon list into one single Top 5 list overall?
You can have as many lists as you want
It depends on how strong your saving skills are (if you can resist, etc)
I see...
I don't know how strong my saving skills are
...I was at least able to save for Elesa & Togetic (and through sheer luck, ||was able to get her AND Anni Lillie||), though I dunno how much that says about my saving skills...
If you still doubt your saving skills, then the smaller your faves list is, the better
well, my shortened Top 5 list is currently...not even fully filled
i got 20 of these thousand gem things
I already got Elesa & Togetic, so I am temporarily satisfied with Elesa
Should of waited for datamine😅
and I actually have no idea what they can still do with Skyla, and I also have enough Skyla for me to not have a huge need for another one atm
Not to mention she is a second tier striker with the metronome gimmick😬
I also already got a Hilda alt I can use to replace vanilla Hilda, so I got that covered, too
in that case, I only have, like 3 trainers left that I would call need
and sadly, the most realistic one of those 3 is a Flannery alt
which says a lot about how unrealistic my wants are
so yeah, so far, only 4 of the 5 slots are actually filled atm:
Flannery alt
Eusine & Suicune (must be specifically this combination)
Wes or any other Orre region trainer (the most unrealistic of my wants)
a Flareon sync pair that isn's Lucas & Flareon
?????
I only have a do not pull for list 
Well iirc palentine banner ends before datamine so if elesa togetic is a fave...i guess what trini did is good
Just ssdiantha, leon, sslysandre all can wait for datamine
Oh also emma anabel
Everyone except Palentine girls stay until next datamine
3 days early 
Probably 24th or 27th yeah idt 23rd tho
v 1.7 was on feb 20 2020 iirc
Oh Jass, will this year be earlier? Because our free x100 pull starts at 18th...the trailer is when the free x100 starts right?
i think they will do a separate trailer on 22nd
for giovanni rerun
maybe in that
I see, gio rerun day would be nice...well hopefully i can get at least 1 shiny meowth this time, not like last tyrogue event 
Tbh
On 18th we get both 100 pulls
And Leon rerun
So I'm kinda convinced we might get a sneak peek there
Instead than on the Gio rerun
Even tho I know it would be extremely weird for a Saturday
Just 12 more orbs, i will get Sycamore power boost next reset 
I invested stamina into codex before this event because I had only 1k grass, water and electric ones 
It's not like I use syca anyway, but maybe after power boost I will
I gonna use him in the future too i guess, well because there's not many fairy faves...xerneas, magearna, enamorus...well probably scream tail and iron valiant iirc
No Hisui and you're already hopium for Paldea 
Fair enough... but I am getting sad and sus
Hope hisui arrives early, i just hope they dont put it on hold until all VA ends
a bit early but maybe
if they hold it until the end we probs have to wait atleast until october/november since VA will most likely end in august 
||yeah time to skip everything now i pulled only a unit,15k used fly now stop pulling i got tempted on volcanion 400 spatk then i saw victini have 512 atk -.-||
47k gems good right ?
yes
Pheww,i have to skip all month now my objective Is reach 100k gems trying but already wasted 15k but Is fine i need to hold Just
|| its ok . in this case you were lucky since lysandre is > victini as a DD but if you wanna pull for damage dont judge by stats alone like that . better to wait for update now ofc ||
60k+36k = 96k by end march probably
Next month 36k gems?
probably
O.o
Damn thats a lot
Guys also
I need to stop watching poce videos
'should you pull"
Yep im scared that they will do that, milking the VA story till the end
...also they don't want to face the hassle of introducing hisui tag
I got tempted on what he said on volcanion and i pulled for that too
He was venerating him
vene?
He do this for all units, even the mid ones
yes ofc its for every banner
Yeah like "u Will lose a unit very very nice" stuff like this,i mean Is true but ...idk
then they gonna delay paldea to 2024 💀
but its true
lol
but its ofc your decision
Is fine btw i tried It did a showcase
Here cant send video right not even in spoiler?
Should had read his description, he is a partner so of course he promotes every units
and he also said
to not pull if you dont like the character/mon
you need the rising star role to send images and video, which you obtain automatically from server activity
Yeah I'm not sold either, DeNa doesn't love consistency so it's just copium talking
But there's some solid basis
I watch them often but tbh I always take YouTube content with a ton of salt
No reason to pull meta once you get 5 meta strikers
With them you'll most likely offtype csmm and 10 streak LG so no reason to go for more unless faves or you really love the kit
Like, ||I don't like Steven but a 4in1 Deoxys kit was too funny to pass so I got him and I don't regret it, even tho I have psychic types to sell||
We get absolute crazy units almost every month
Just pull what you really want, don't let people decide for you based on objective data like damage or such
NICE Alexa stan
True
I have 52k now should I wait for an anniversary or lyzender is good to go or should I save more gems for meta & limited pairs ??
wait for anniversary
or datamine
unknown
Sorry
All good!
just go for your favorites
Man how to control your emotions when your favorite now gonna come up quickly
Just be aware that an SS Serena rerun isn’t guaranteed
Is it likely? Yeah, within the next 1-2 months
But Master Fair reruns are still semi-unexplored territory, so no guarantees
Go touch grass.

Do your dailies and close the game, do something else
Use other faves or do something else
use the frog and imagine it's the snake instead
How many gems can we expect to get from february 28th-march 5th?
Depends on what they run
Like events or?
Yeah, events, login bonuses, etc.
expect at least 3k from Pokemon Presents
we simply wont know until we get the next update
oh, unless the champion ticket is from pokemon presents somehow
Nice, ill wait for datamine to see first but if I can reach pity I may go for anabel if I dont like anything next month (which isnt likely)
Most likely ill just wait for her rerun
if it's Anabel you could just wait instead of asking...
Yep only palentine units gone before datamine, could just wait for others
Delicious gems almost pity 

Tru, was just curious how much we could expect based on last year
Last year are full of field effects...annimay-terrain, anniskyla-zone, anniraihan-weather...so i have good expectations this year 
Maybe rebuff, debuff, and other stuff like confusion trap etc.?
Probably, i just hope they have different region tag than previous year's units
I’m just hoping it ain’t Cynthia + Steven wombo combo of my absolute favorites haha
My gems can’t take it
I don't think those two will get anni alts again
Especially since Cynthia was last anni
Pokemas has awful trainer bias but yeah I still don't see them using the same trainers for the same theme twice. Both because players as a whole want variety in trainer choices, and fans of those characters want variety in their faves' alts
im still snapping a pic of tai’s post for later when the monkeys paw curls

Man, luckily i set pokemon as faves so I don't mind if its the same trainers but why there's only 2 kanto legendary, mythical, UB DeNa 
DON’T JINX ME MAN
Cannot even do full region fave team for kanto
Bcz
Kanto doesnt UBs
kanto doesn't have a lot of legendaries in general
Even then, we only have 2 of them. Hopefully whichever chatelaine (either dana or morgan) uses the birds brings them soon
They casually give UBs to Johto and Unova 
Scjasmine and FallIris
Hoping for leaf anniversary alt with one of the birbs
Why do I keep forgetting Fall Iris exists, I literally have her
Chatelaine only gonna get just one anyway
Wonder if she’s popular enough to get an Anni Alt 
||SS Leaf counts as an anni alt ig, but that was a different era||
Well she's the only kanto protag other than red, blue is a rival 
Yeah the only thing moderately sad to lose before datamine is Appletun
and we all know red will hog the spotlight, why wouldn't he, he's the face of Pokemon
leaf didn't even appear in kanto VA
We already got red with Pikachu and Charizard
So what they even gonna give him next
Another Charizard for Y? 
: why the fuck not
I would grab that
...i still dont have any fave alt with red
My champion faves roster is growing:
Kanto:
Johto:
Hoenn: Annisteven, Sssteven
Sinnoh: Ssrcynthia
Unova: N, AnniN, SsN
Kalos: Scdiantha, Ssdiantha
Alola:
Galar: Ssleon, Hleon
Meta wise ss brendan is better I think
No meta pulls in here, pull if faves 
Fav wise it would depend then
Yep so other than palentine units, its safe to just wait for datamine news
All other units banner still exist by the time we get Datamine
I reached 3 pities!
Im almost same as you nice dud
I do chase meta myself since idh much favs(only got a few mons as fav and most are gen pool/free units), but I'm very picky with kits 
3 amigos we are
Can't wait for them to give us 3 MF that I have to pity lol
Only 15,810 gems left 
I need to check if i can reach 3 pities before half anni
Oh i will cut it close if i clear Leon EBE 
Leon ebe will be tricky for me to clear the 2nd stage for sure
Why do you need to reach 3 pities before half anni?
You planning to pull 4 things by end of march?
Coz they can fuck your plans up by dropping 3 favs at same time
Since last year half anni had 3 anni units and zygarde at month end 
So even 4 isn't technically enuff
Vantner collects every legend, mythical, ub (and future paradox) for context
Well its always good to have more gems saved for big fave list like mine and 3 pities sounds better than having 2 pities before half anni
Same, but I just decide if I like the outfit and pairing

This make my will stronger to skip non fave
As probably in the future i will be like Vantner (80/80 Faves) or something
Same as j need to also save lel
I hope there's dark/electric/fairy/poison fave
Pls, they've released 3 faves total in this month and last month 
They knew about my 2 month gem coma 
Only 2 faves for me 
December was harsh for me lel I had to pity 3 my favs, since SCJasmine rerunI think I’ve had to pity almost all my favs

Im hoping they arent anni units so they r more likely to rerun
I had to pity let’s see
ScJasmine
Victor
Serena
Calem
Holiday Jasmine
PalElesa
And I think I’m fore getting someone lel
I just want to see the outfits especially because of my disappointment with 3.0 Anni
Oh right if i got new half anni faves, i might need to candy them first...not like any of them appeared in select scout although they are pokefairs
sc diantha?
I pitied her last year
They don't even have anniversary in their unit name. So in my mind last year's anniv units are still annimay, anniskyla, anniraihan 
TRUE 
I hope they plan to rerun more 2022 pokefairs
hopefully
2022 has alot of my favorites
Lucas was the only 2022 pokefair who had a free rerun I think
Im hoping for more triple banners this year 
N/Cynthia r just for lodge tho
I gonna claim her as well if March lodge guest aren't related with champion
Same, hopefully its another spotlight
Im missing iris steven and lance too, but id be fine if its alder or diantha
Im happy that DeNa give free limited unit lately
This is 100x better than a chance of getting limited unit like last year's january ticket
Free legendary for new region next month 
I mean as legendary adventures unit
Yep i 150 all legendary adventures unit
Also 150 all bp master units
I'll 3/5 them all one day 
Only 3/5 evelyn for now
Dunno abt 150 since I still have some favs left
Do they still have that xp handicap?
It will be hard to just rely on rainbow ticket for dupe...well as need 4 months to form rainbow ticket
Not sure, i just press the max button
Oh alr
I only left mesprit
will take it to 2/5 if next month doesn't have support fave
Here’s my sync pair wish list in case anyone’s curious. Plenty of faves all around 👀
||I plan to select the actual seasonals and pity (or not pity if the odds decide to be crazy) the other 3||
Are you getting Cynthia from the ticket scout?
Oh right that sc tea party event might rerun soon
...aint it on april last year
Pokewar sc rerun in 10 months
Yup, the Poke War event reran at the anni 10 months after, and the Anni 10 months after the Tea Party is coming up
Even if all 3 of my pity plans show up next month, I’m prepared, so I need to stay diligent 
Might rerun in half anni for late march 
The anni units stay 2 months so I should be fine even if they drop 3 favs at same time but I damn hope it's at max 1 fav
Coz I want to roll summer rerun 
I hope they put 1 non fave in the trio...its flygon last year
I will be poor if all 3 are faves
Also might have mf on late march

I hope that they put 0 of my faves in the trio :)
||My ultra faves are N, Lillie, Submas, and probably Allister; 2 of which have anni alts, 3 of which are unlikely to get anni alts. Still have to watch out for Anni Wally but I think that’s too soon||
Same
unless eos comes
I still dont have nita or regirock at all
Depends
If steven or lance r the lodge unit next month ill go for them, if not ill go for cynthia
But hoping its smb I already have next month so I dont have to skip her again
Same 
Last time i pick N for anime select, to 3/5 him and skip Cynthia 
Most PFs im missing I feel could rerun in triple banners once in a while but im hoping the anni ones r treated like regular pokefairs 
I only had SS Cynthia and chose alder bcz I needed help w bug
Was considering N or Steven since I needed steel/electric coverage but I atleast had || ss gio || and got || ash and raihan || later on
March is going to be huge gem damage for me depending on the unit
bede was the only other one so far
I recall Lucas also being in a rerun banner sometime as a triple banner
Wasn’t he alongside gloria (Zacian) and someone else
redlax yeah it was the main character triple feature
ever since around 2nd anni the only new PFs that have had free reruns were redlax, cblue, lucas, and bede
Is this worth buying?
it’s pretty much the highest value paid gem deal you can get if you plan to spend money. you can see what the best gem deals are for your currency in #1010215980175208468
ok pal rerun and anabel have put me into big recovery mode activation
You can do it 
96,705
slowly recovering 
Gem count, nearly back to 90k
All closer to that 3rd pity

2 more resets for emma
Emma can wait until datamine
Good chance the half anni will be more unique in aesthetic and ability and looks
Then shouldn't you change your name
u right thanks
Check pinned graphic
Ok looks like a yes
Huh didn’t realize 18 Feb is fat
Because of champion time and his ebe in same day also retweet rewards
Hope i can get 300
at least
Galar EBE 
Leon ebe?
Yes
Finally reached 2 pity again🙂
finally back at 10k
Where are the other 4500 coming from? I know 3k is from the Twitter campaign
bingo missions, leon missions and extreme battle
probably can’t get them all in one day
the daily breakdown is pinned in here and you can also see it in #1012256199128915968
bingo? ayooo pog

Oh ye him too
Oh good! By that I should be at 97k if all goes well and I don't have to pull on anything
I scrounged back to 90k ||after pulling for SSLysandre|| so I was still kinda hoping to hit 6 digits
Would it be wise to just not roll on the pal/Val banner until next year and just go for another unit?
Because the roster always increases it would give you better luck pulling next year and you can either get a unit you don’t want or you get a unit you do want and the odds are slightly better?
as long as you come into the rerun banner with a pity
but like, the more you wait until the upcoming years, the more likely you have to pity the unit that you do want. since each featured unit's individual rate becomes smaller
he better time warp some gems from the past to Pasio then!
It's like Dena made this game for you
Who’s submas
subway bros i think
Subway masters is their title in Japanese
Ingo and Emmett
submaschine
Surely you mean Emmet and Ingo
Oh ok

No sneak peek in the trailer 
We got 6K gems I. The span of 3 days wow
Pog!’
Nearly at the 3rd pity
but you could see Leon! he's unbeatable!

I already have 2 leons 

More gems soon
I ain't pulling Leon but I will take the gems
another kind of champion time

Another EBE again 
It being a Galar EBE 

I have no Galar EXs or limiteds
No,
EBE seems to have a notch up the difficulty...||i have sslysandre yet need to do a couple of retries, and manage to clear it when i tank with Evelyn instead
||
They should've released Klara or Avery smh
emma and then leon's banner back to back? jeez
Nessa queen I'll need you to handle another Galar-only battle once again
gems gems gems gems
PLEASE
believe in the power of Nessa


Gonna use my trusty tank Hop 
And only one that I care about 
Yep, i will be happy if i got at least 300 gems
Gonna hope my ||djgloria and ssleon max move took out 1 enemy each||
Nessa is the mvp of my Galar roster, only galar character in the game that I remotely like

Just remember, if you find yourself pulling your hair out over 300 gems, it’s just 300 gems.
And people (including me) pull their hair out willingly with F2P units for 0. 
If it’s not fun, it certainly isn’t worth it for any other reason. Just try if you can manage it
Is Allister Tech?
Bea
Allister’s a Tech I suppose but yeah either way, point is he strikes, so you could use him
I don’t know much about the EB, but I’m sure #1009557516369281075 has more info
The eb’s middle has high physical defence
Not unless Allister ig
We can earn them elsewhere 
Im hoping I can do it w anni and base raihan + sonia
Ye
Based on leon

oh its leon extreme battle
We're gunna have a champion time
The info on stats/moveset is in #1009557516369281075 pins
they have sentry entry or some shit?
There’s 3 this month; serena and calem ones for emma and lysandre + gloria for leon
Sides have wise entry and mid has sentry entry I think
Gloria?
I think its vs gloria
And evasion/accuracy debuff gimmicks too
oh
Mid is weak to fire, sides are weak to ground (marnie toxicroak and someone else, probably hop Zamazenta)
Ye but basically no one in galar buffs accuracy
Annihan has team sharp entry and base raihan has sharp entry on their grids, not sure what ML but both r 2/5 for me
Annihan is just sharp entry, not team
I mean pinpoint entry
Ah
no ♂️
Either way, getting slightly off topic, but the point is spending thousands of gems for a mediocre unit isn’t worth it to clear the EB and get 300-600 gems
i think should be able to wing it with current galar pool
Correct
Spending 3k minimum to win 600....the math ain't mathing
I wonder if I can cheese with SS Morty, guy has always helped me with off skill EBEs 
Ya I should use a sunny day unit
Also not even guaranteed to get the unit in 3k 
Might end up with couple of 3* 4*
It’s a 1/5 chance to get him on first multi
I like thinking of it as 36.6K for 600 it’s a fair trade off if you don’t think about it
That’s like expecting your opponent’s stone edge to miss
You saying that has made me realiz that’s never happened yet for me
EBE should be treated as side income, well like a bit of remuneration if its related with pulling your fave unit
Stone Edge missing or getting a unit 1st multi?
no thats like expecting your pokemon thaws out from frozen this turn
lel
Talking about thaw, i hate frozen in PoMa. Sometimes my unit is frozen till the end of the battle.
I like freeze a lot from my experience using ||HoliLeom|| it was the source of one of my favorite 3K challenges he runs
Well it is great if its on enemies and not your team
True luckily there aren’t many sources of freeze out there
Uxie ice punch 
That’s super unlucky 🐴
One time i froze regirock 3 times in a row with wulfric 
I like to do dark type when off typing, even ||soloing with Summer N||
Oh sweet, I might ||get my 3rd pity on the 19th.||
ha
the number of times uxie freezes me with first turn ice punch is insane
No hostile environment too
Exactly, probably closer to a 30% freeze chance.
Did have a run on a solo it froze me at least 10x😅
In a row
97,305 gems...a bit more to return to 6 digits 
Not sure how long it will stay but i save for faves, that thing hasn't changed yet
so any gems spent on faves are well spent


700 gems next reset 
it's gonna be 100 for me because i can't do calem's
i only have champion calem, sycamore and ss diantha/korrina
I am gonna throw the horse at him 
Rng fest with cheryl helping hand passive to heal poison aoe 
But it hits all units right? Or only one then spreads?
If its ripple i will be fine with antitoxin tank
Oh if its that it will be easier
Maybe i will tank with Lucy...she can buff her own def spdef and quite tanky
||now let's see how much disappears tomorrow||
None will

Next goal: 25k
Won't there be another trailer closer to the actual 3.5? Or do we expect that not to happen before the overall Pokemon video event thingy
They already mentioned everything, didn't they?
Leon rerun and Gmax, 10-Pair scout (that's the 100 scouts thing)
hmm, i guess they didn't mention the Giovanni rerun?
20th might be another short trailer about the Meow Meow Meow event
, Giovanni etc
would be 22nd
Since theres no banner rerun like leon
we may expect on 22nd ye
oh, so without banners they do trailers on the day of release?
You'll lose all that hard work 
7 days
You want to be wise on where it goes
||LySS and Emma, no way in hell I’m going for Leon||
At least we are getting the 100 pairs to hold me over
Datamine 
Good point
I’ve held out before, I can do it again
Highest I’ve gotten is 50K, that was a two month holdout till I fell to ||frogs||
current gem: 45k+
goal: 300k (till i saw my desirable banner)
Mixed it up, I’m actually at 44k! 
Going by last year we should get datamine in 7-8 days and a trailer revealing one anni pair in 5
But DeNA doesnt seem to stick to patterns, but we can atleast expect it before the 27th prob
Will be 97k with this reset gems, well if i can clear that EBE...gonna be saving for faves that might appear in datamine 
This reset I can prob reach 7 multis, highest I had was 6 cuz I was saving for archie but decided to go for ss steven
|| got ss steven 10th multi + copy from pity and archie 3rd multi tho ||
Oh 7 multis, i read 7 pities at first glance...7 multi still not yet reach pity...but we will get 2 multis of gems in 2 resets
My goal is to save up to 1 pity, take a screenshot, and then decide depending who we have next month
Hopefully 2 Janine with scdiantha works for both stages of the upcoming ebe 
I hope both Janine and Roxie works, I so need those gems
I always try to do EBE without pulling
even if I'm going for the unit
the exception is if it requires a heavy investment in an unit I don't like that much to begin with
I never pull for EB haha, just purely whether I like the unit or not
Gonna try to clear with bpjanine, cheryl, falliris
Im hoping bp janine sonia and plumeria/roxie r enough
Upgraded roxie for this too jic, atleast ill be prepared for her EX if I dont use her ig
I’ll be doing Sonia/Lucy/Roxie, personally
I’ll wait to see how hard they hit
Maybe I should bring a sun bringer to prevent getting frozen
Sun prevents freezing? 
Gem count
Gem count, 
||Goodluck for this reset
||
|| Thank you
getting all the luck I can get||

Moments before disaster
I'm having a pretty obscene dilemma right now
I am in pain
And I'll need to do some spoiler tagging here, so beware
||so, I decided to pull for Emma to finally aim for Colress, while simultaneously solving my poison issues, but just like ny lisia, she arrived at the first 11 pull. Should I hold my gems?||
i mean u asking the obvious in the gem zen thread
It isn't really as obvious when this has been a pain point for me since last year
I'm trying to do this the right way, but the game isn't really helping me
The longer this takes, the less I'll feel inclined to go for a banner, regardless of how insane it is
Mainly because at a point
If I do have to spend the full pity to get the featured pair
I'll once again have to skip the pair that really made me pull
And if it was only colress
But there's Hugh as well
3 banners, already
At this point I'm starting to regret skipping their spotlights
Manage to clear EBE ||without pulling Emma
||
you should scare
||even sslysandre EBE costs me few resets even with me having him 3/5||
||after watching Poce get's shafted on Emma and having to grind out on gem|| it reaffirm my commitment to save and grind gems every single day
Halfway
||wow Poce cannot whale through it and had to resort on grinding gems?|| Well, its kinda hard on him, he does 5/5 those pokefair units to showcase full power to make video content. 
||his shaft for lysandre is 800 bucks||
||yep, he is very broke right now and spend at least and hour getting the last drip of gems||
That's just ridiculous
||yep, so it really adds up alot which led to the Emma disaster||
Well some content creators can just make good content with 1/5 or 3/5 move levels...kinda sad to hear, but at worse 5/5 may cost 5 pities, and spending 5 pities on single unit feels bad
Theres f2p clear someone do with glacia, bpjanine, koga
lol this f2p clear is pretty extreme
Not sure if its still in the recommended list
or Looker
I still don’t have him haha
F2p clears wont include spotlights
Oldest general pool unit I still don’t have
not everyone have looker
Koga can work
but im sure most of them have plum
i dont even have him lol
man if a gem loaning system ever exist
||I can lend Poce 36k gems with interest with maybe getting a spot as a Mod||
This guy totally f2p
the mvp is actually mostly bp janine tbh
Not sure how he tank with that, my 5* 20/20 bpjanine dead by double edge... probably hope for evasion a lot
yea its the evasion and also cheryl can heal her with def buffs too
Luckily the sync damage doesn't hurt much...but sides spamming giga impact and hyper beam after mid dead kinda ||shit||
Oh yeah that was so annoying
I was like that escalated quickly DeNa 
Luckily used plum so sync and SW KOd them
Also apparently if you waste too much time Calem heals himself LMAO
plum nuke did better than i thought
Remember we have a thread dedicated to these battles over at #1009557516369281075 everyone
I gonna accept it, i will be grateful to at least get 300 gems next reset...no need to stress myself for it
Anyway, now that the Kalos VA pairs have all dropped I'm back to saving
and then anni comes with another kalos 
||After pulling for Emma I'm sub 200k, so.....time to recharge||
So you are sure that there no Sycamore (Anniversary 2023) 
Almost pity… just need for tomorrow’s PHAT LEWT to drop
Imma still working on my dallies for SS Diantha for now
Then I’m ready for halfversary haha
STOP 😭 BLEHHHHH I WOULD DIE
It is time to show your love for Kalos unit, no skipping 
that is why i always save my gems till datamine
Think they’ll do the half and half datamine again?
Hopefully theres video trailer soon, kinda sus that Leon EBE release on same day with Leon banner... usually its 3 days after, my hopium tells me that there will be something on Monday/Tuesday that have hype 
to make an executive decision
maybe, so pray we get unofficial leaks
||knew about zerena after i spend lavishly for dupes of annimay and anniskyla
, i thought those units are the only ones that month||
Almost lose her
And still need to pity her
Harsh times
Hope the MF unit is Palmer, he is kinda MF material
Give him sinnoh pride
Giga impact Regigigas
Well he use Cresselia, heatran, Regigigas
forgot he has that
yep
Well heatran can always go to Buck if needed, Flint younger brother iirc
Flannery and Heatran if they really want to hammer in a very obscure plot point in ORAS
Theres regice and registeel oh also jirachi for hoenn...i hope DeNa release those first before hoenn characters start to steal other region's
Either way, it's a big want for me. 
I want heatran as well, magma storm if its high damage that also trap will be nice
Assuming ofc that you don’t just get them later into the banner
Which would give a far better opportunity
Ultimately up to you though, it’s only a suggestion to minimise your spend and maximise your saving
Damn, was off about the 3k present that is supposed to be next reset not this reset
Ahh was confused, thought it was today
Well it is next reset, thats why its a fat 6k+ gems reset
Excellent
Another EBE next reset 
||I hope 3/5 Sonia 2/5 AnniRaihan 5/5 Raihan is enough but it probably is alright for me all things considered sides have like 6k health, AnniRaihan has pinpoint entry, Max Flare nuke with SEUN and Raihan DPS||
Seems really difficult without limiteds though or straight up impossible
Yep, Galar units are still in a difficult spot...i did send feedback to DeNa to add more f2p galar units, currently there's just Hop that is f2p 
They should do one bp galar unit
2 galar units are probably enough for player to do galar region battle content
Or doing galar missions
Man I have just made a big mistake
I got tempted and || from 16k gems I spent 3 multis on Emma so now I'm at 4k gems||
I did ||get Emma but now it's gonna take a while to get back all those gems||
And you will only reach pity for end of half anniversary which will likely have better aesthetic/ abilities
Not good unless Crobat and Emma are absolute faves with every fibre of your being
No one plans to pity, we just prepare for it...if bad RNG said that you will get the unit by pity, then you will get it 
||i think he said that # was an exaggeration but i dont actually know how much a full spark is in full priced gems||
Cheryl gives def buffs & heals in 1, no investment necessary in anything except sync orbs. No dodges necessarily needed either
As usual, no need to spend. Totally F2P clears for both EBs & this one is actually super easy as well imho
Yoo wait that me? 
Sent outta order but either way point is:
Save gems 
No the guy got 5* koga 
Ah wait just realised
Aight well even better, no Koga investment necessary nor even having the 4* Cheryl
13k gems...
Keep it up 
Wow with bug compensation, this reset gems becomes 1k 
almost at 14k gems
That +300 on Calem part 2 without Looker, Emma or Iris almost gave me a stroke but those gems are in the stash 
We may get one trailer on wednesday
Since we have giovanni rerun
And the meowth event
On monday we just have marnie rerun which got alr announced in leon trailer
probably assuming the mfs would be mid march which they shuld be logically lol
You know what is better than having a pity worth? 2 pities
Not like it can only be 1 anyways
i think its more likely 2 this year to differentiate it from last year
we'll see
@robust plaza If you are still buying the 20 day 3k bundles I don't think you will ever see enough selects to spend them all
@signal halo isn't Colress in a current or upcoming select? Spotlights are easy to get for 2k or 3k
hes in 100 pair scout
that depends entirely on which units are during said 3.5
assumed you weren't pulling until the eventual datamine
i would assume 3.5 units will run all the way through
if there's a SC event later that would be an easy save month
Dont think dena has a habit of repeating months like that tbh
maybe spring seasonals
Ah nice
finally beat part 2 of this EBE
im afraid of tmr's EBE now
it wasn't so bad
VAs are usually two months apart right?
then again, i have an EX Sonia
i dont have her EX'd
next one would be in may datamine probably
so yea, its pretty hard
Thanks
every other month lately
since johto was
never used her as well
half anni might rerun some va
he meant new ones
Aye
i dont think so
but maybe
kalos came in jan just like sinnoh
Perhaps alola would be around time johto was
Oh yes, mc solgaleo
is coming 
I have bisharp 
same
Probably just follow like sycamore
as he got lab coat color...his
is just non shiny xerneas color
Ah
We need alot of multipliers to make Solgaleo good
I never used Zinnia even with her EX
I hope one of the power boost is sunsteel strike dmg +40
Solgaleo does less damage than Zamazenta it feels like
or at the very least give an ignore passive effect on his nuke

Whenever I use Solgaleo it has terrible dps because in LG I can't afford to give an elite support with both speed and crit to him
yeah...
i normally use him for bosses with annoying passives
like Uxie since his reg sunsteel strike bypasses those dmg reduction passives
but even with 2 decent supports he still take some time to kill the bosses
Sure but still unable to kill stuff without elite gauge support and crit
he really can use a good buff
We are most of the way there if you get every limited with it
i only have 3 units including solgaleo with that capability for now
ye
Chandelier or some f2p has it
I got N, anniN, ssN, solgaleo sunsteel strike, annilillie moongeist beam
or 7 actually
solgaleo , lunala , reshiram , zekrom , black kyurem , rillaboom , pikachu

need 3 more
she's only 2/5 for mine lol
Ah
not sure if she is gonna be good enough
regular allister, he's at 4/5
idt i can run 2 striker and 1 support team, probably will run into guage issues
could work would have to try
sides have wise entry x2
allister does have both special and physical moves
bea is 4 gauge ye
nessa has a low chance of free move next when restrained
ye
perhaps sonia + allister + hop could try
gonna give it a try defo
my team on calem ebe was high risk 
no healer, had to depend on dodging move on both janine
calem was quite hard
debuffs werent enough from one shotting
him having critical crit 9 was 💀
ye they had hyper beams and giga impacts
the speed debuff at the end kinda help with the stalls
since the last side alive tried to spam 4 guage move
but its speed is debuffed 6 stages

they tried their best to force ppl to get emma 
can see they really tried

similar to the 1 that showcased ssSteven's passive
full of debuffs
Ye downside up
hopefully leon's is doable lmao
hopefully i think it wouldnt be as hard
Just that most good galar special attackers r limited
i was lucky I EX'd Jasmine not long before that stage was out
she was my key to clearing it back then
ah
My two crobats worked just fine tbh
It was easier than the previous one imo
I can’t remember who I cleared the Looker EBE with
Heat wave RNG was more bullshit
Tried my best with non-ex May and did it eventually
Koga nuke + antitoxin bp Janine is ez clear as long as you bring a good grown woman support
Like Sonia or glacia even
I used looker+sonia+melony took about 2 tries until i realized my melony didnt had vigilance lol
SAME
Melony and Looker hate me too
Luckily i have both, but at 1/5 
I'm weak, ||they got me and I pulled for Emma, but thankfully just 2 multis, no issue there|| and still have two pities worth of gems and then some. I don't care for Leon so I can fully ignore him
Other issue was I have Sonia 3/5 but no sync orbs which sucks
if it's for the EBE, it lasts for quite a while, you'll get sync orbs for Sonia soon enough
Its more fun to beat ebes without the current bait
Frustrating but since the game rarely gives you a challenge, it was refreshing
Koga carries hard
