Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[rancid vale]

coop stuff

id imagine

[mental skiff]

look kinda bad gems count for me tho

[junior trout]

Ohhh

[rancid vale]

you realize the monthly average is like 25k?

this is already better than usual

[mental skiff]

:V i mean for me

[junior trout]

For annis and half annis people usually expect more

[mental skiff]

kinda same as last month

[junior trout]

||but since i'm going for hop this at least means i can guarantee him from where i'm at now||

[hard wave]

Its not a bad gem count but anni months r usually 40k iirc

[rancid vale]

is it?

[timber wren]

can’t count on gems you don’t have

[mental skiff]

i expect one more twitter rally then it's is ok

[maiden kayak]

cos they spend gems like water

[hard wave]

Is skyla/pasio friendiversary event not rerunning?

[mental skiff]

prior to 3.0 anni gems count average is low tho

[cunning swan]

None in the files so no

[maiden kayak]

cant be expecting for them to keep increasing gems tho

[timber wren]

we’re probably getting 3k at the presents too

[maiden kayak]

i think 30k is really high so

[mental skiff]

they already counted 3k

[maiden kayak]

it basically almost recoups a guranteed unit

[rancid vale]

it is very high

idk why anyone would consider it low

[hard wave]

Alr, hoping to || get one copy of all the pairs in raihan/may then since I think I can reach 2 pities ||

[maiden kayak]

ppl spending gems like water ig

[hard wave]

Dont anni months give atleast a pity tho?

[timber wren]

that’s the login bonus

[mental skiff]

never said it low but it can be higher for a month like this

[maiden kayak]

huh NO

[mental skiff]

:V pity is too much

[rancid vale]

considering its low is weird

[maiden kayak]

pity is just a rare privellage even for anni lmao

[rancid vale]

30k is already a lot

[mental skiff]

consider normal with recent months

[rancid vale]

?

[mental skiff]

dec, jan, feb supass 30k tho

[maiden kayak]

cos those are high key months

[hard wave]

This was 3rd anni

[mental skiff]

this month is anni

[hard wave]

2.5 anni was 41.6k

[maiden kayak]

30k is already decent enough with 3 limited units

[sand crown]

Is 30k confirmed for March?

[maiden kayak]

…. no

that amount is brought from feb

[rancid vale]

yeah

[sand crown]

Not bad honestly

[languid quail]

30k for 3 MFs 🥲

[mental skiff]

still wait for Tlim gems count tho

[sand crown]

Sure it isn’t full pity but if you save here and there it helps

[maiden kayak]

30 k is alot

just save smh

[mental skiff]

probably 29.9k or sth

only count gems till the day next datamine drop

[hard wave]

I have 30k gems rn, I just thought we’d get a little more bcz its anni

[hard wave]

Feb 28-mar 30th tho

[mental skiff]

30k is normal for anni tho

[rancid vale]

💀im so confused now

[hard wave]

It is?

[maiden kayak]

ya

[hard wave]

Why did 2.5 and 3rd anni have over a pity tho? Was it rallies or smth

[maiden kayak]

2.5 have pla presents iirc

[mental skiff]

2.5 anni is exception

and it also introduce victory path which give 5k gems

[maiden kayak]

i dont think u should be asking here

[hard wave]

Alr

[robust shore]

Are we likely to get those Master Fair paid gem bundles with the Galar Trio running?

wait, dumb question

nevermind LOL

[signal halo]

Spa, spdef debuffs and psychic terrain

[mental skiff]

still work fine in cs for now tho

[hard wave]

Doesnt may debuff sp atk?

[maiden kayak]

yes

[hard wave]

Alr, so ig he’d pair well w her and ss brendan

[signal halo]

They do have a banner together, right?

[rancid vale]

wheres the damage though

you’re gonna die before may can do shit

[hard wave]

Ye but it runs late in the month

We’ll get next datamine by then I think

[hard wave]

Steven

[signal halo]

I'm in a really weird spot now

As far as who I want to pull on

And the amount of gems I have

[rancid vale]

i know where i stand

roll anni raihan and only anni taihan

[hard wave]

May sets terrain and spA debuffs brendan does sp def debuffs

[signal halo]

I'd need upwards of 6 pities to comfortably slam gems on everything

[rancid vale]

unfortunately my gems are in shambles ||because of ss diantha||

[fallen path]

i need a day to digest everything lol

[signal halo]

What does may do?

[cunning swan]

Good strategy actually

[signal halo]

The latias one

[maiden kayak]

dont pull

[hard wave]

Psychic terrain and sp A debuffs I think

[maiden kayak]

keep asking and the urge will come

[signal halo]

Spa + terrain?

[maiden kayak]

debuff and terrain

[signal halo]

Then she's enough for gio, imo

[mental skiff]

should start answering tho

[fallen path]

it's partly because i'm sleep deprived from datamine lol. so i'll take a closer look after work/over the weekend

[cunning swan]

Datamine for me has a honeymoon period. All units feel great and shiny for the first 24 hours and I can't analyze with a cool head

If after 24 hours I'm still excited over a unit, then I'll consider further

But most of the time my hype has died down and I decide to skip

[signal halo]

Red and Lucas were the pairs I regretted skipping back when I started playing

[cunning swan]

Bianca is enough for gio

[signal halo]

Canon Uber pairs

[rancid vale]

is there any reason to use mewtwo when i have deoxys

[vestal leaf]

No

[mental skiff]

dont they comeback like 1 per every 2 week

[cunning swan]

Run them together and put ss steven in normal forme for psychic terrain

[signal halo]

This is their first free comeback ever since I started

[mental skiff]

i had urge for them once but they just comeback and i start to cross them from rerun list

[cunning swan]

Yeah, red and lucas are two pokefairs you really shouldn't worry about when it comes to rerun

[hard wave]

Galar birds arent so interesting for me and neither is ball guy, gloria I can get later for lodge maybe + ill be able to do cynthia in lodge this month, but the anni rerun banners r 4 pairs that I have been wanting

[cunning swan]

Red especially

The man reruns so freaking often

CBlue when

[vestal leaf]

Red is

Zzzzz

[signal halo]

As much as I love Aerodactyl

[vestal leaf]

I really don't see the appeal of that unit

[hard wave]

I have anni raihan too at 2/5 so I wouldnt mind a copy, just hoping I can get lucas and red as well before a pity

[vestal leaf]

At all

[signal halo]

I currently have no use for it

[mental skiff]

when did you comeback

[vestal leaf]

Sure the kit is strong but

It's boring

[hard wave]

Lucas and red havent reran for 9 months

[mental skiff]

i thought you're here sooner than me

[vestal leaf]

And the gen 3 red design is

Lol

[signal halo]

In June, during the johtrio master fair run

Red and Lucas were up

But I got SS Kris and SS lyra instead

[hard wave]

If u have to off type a stage w steven but there’s also psychic weak ig

[mental skiff]

they comeback in triple banner again and again tho

[hard wave]

Who

[vestal leaf]

They did

[signal halo]

This is the first f2p gem comeback they have

[rancid vale]

every time ive off typed i used bianca and lucian and it was fine

[manic stag]

Does anyone know if there’s a better gem deal after the current ones leave in 7 days? I want the 15,500 gems but just want to make sure I’m getting the most bang for my buck

[hard wave]

They had one w gloria but its been 9 months

[signal halo]

In over half a year

[vestal leaf]

I'm pretty sure Lucas was in a free banner

Oh ok 9 months

[hard wave]

Yes 9 months ago

W red and gloria

[hard wave]

Ye same

Looking forward to brendan and may instead tho

[signal halo]

I also want Leon, because with him

[hard wave]

If I can get them

[signal halo]

One of my collection goals will be accomplished

Which would be having all champions

With the free lance, I'll just need Steven later down the line

[mental skiff]

[signal halo]

I have Cynthia, alder, alt iris, diantha and ash

[vestal leaf]

Ash has champion tag? Lol?

[signal halo]

No

[mental skiff]

[signal halo]

But he's the Alolan champion

[vestal leaf]

Thank god

[mental skiff]

Imagine ash is champion

[sullen hedge]

if youre playing for the long haul, the daily gem bundles are most worth, the one that gives move candy coin less so but i like to think of it as saving trying to get another copy

[signal halo]

If journeys is canon with masters

Ash is the champion

With Cynthia using sygna suit in the anime, at least masters should be canon in journeys

[vestal leaf]

Eh

Anime works in a different way

[mental skiff]

no champion theme skill no champion

[manic stag]

I have all three of the dailies going right now but I’m at 7000 gems currently and wanted to get more for the anni

[sullen hedge]

from now until the end of the anni

you can get at least 1~2 more bundles

[reef river]

I got the sync orb boost gem pack in preperation for half anni and they dont even have a limited pair select

[sullen hedge]

sync orb boost is the most value

[mental skiff]

no seasonal selected scout

[sullen hedge]

even if you dont want the orbs

[mental skiff]

all my hope and dream is broken

[fallen path]

you can save more paid gems for 4th anni select

[mental skiff]

[reef river]

I know but i dont like holding paid gems for a long tike

[sullen hedge]

^ there's always that

[reef river]

Time*

Its just bad temptation

[sullen hedge]

you can do what i do and do the irresponsible thing and do a single pull

[mental skiff]

did that

gone all 1900 gems of mine

never again i will do that

[sullen hedge]

i dont do it on every banner

that's just a waste

[timber wren]

check out #1010215980175208468

[sullen hedge]

well, more of a waste

[mental skiff]

it's bad when you actually calc

[sullen hedge]

it's not bad on my mental if i just random 4 multi pull and get nothing

[deft glen]

me too, 12k just sitting here

[mental skiff]

no the bad thing is when you get a unit from single daily

it will trigger gambling addiction in you

[sullen hedge]

wdym

if i get the unit from a single daily, i immediately stop pulling on that banner

[mental skiff]

but next banner you will do the same

in long run you lose so much more

[deft glen]

|| I got H Jasmine, Marnie and SS Blue in dailies, all in a month then only 3 PU||

[sullen hedge]

true, but my mental isnt ruined

gacha games are all about mental and my luck here seems a lot better than genshin

so if anything i'd rather spend here then i do genshin

[mental skiff]

I had luck with random multi but then pity hit me

and lose like 1-2 pity in the purse of random unit because of that

[sullen hedge]

the current luck track for me seems like, if it's a unit i like im pitying

if it's not im getting in that single pull

i had to pity anni steven and he's so much worse than ss ethan

[buoyant elk]

For who uses paid gems i guess the best way is to do dailies till you get what you want, then if by last day you didn't got the unit, you go for scout points

[mental skiff]

single is kinda like 2-3 multi over a month tho so not like it cant happen :V

[mental skiff]

or wait for selected scout

• saving

[sullen hedge]

yea i never do single pulls on pokefairs anymore

[buoyant elk]

I mean to get the unit in a reasonable time

[sullen hedge]

only mf

since select scouts are pretty common

but i dont even do it every mf

[mental skiff]

actually single pull only give you 1 point :V

not like it matter

30 day = 30 point

good luck get there

[buoyant elk]

One thing is waiting for the end of the banner, one is to wait months or even a year for a rerun

[mental skiff]

only 100 paid gems i recommend is when you reach 399 pity point

save you 200 free gems tho

[buoyant elk]

But in 30 pulls you get a much better chance than in a single multi

[mental skiff]

[sullen hedge]

the thing is, if youre not getting the pair on the debut banner with the pity you should have, then like you shouldnt even like get to talk about waiting for a rerun, because... you chose to not go for it in debut

[mental skiff]

it's 3000 paid gems tho

[sullen hedge]

whatever pair im missing from banner is like im fine missing it

[mental skiff]

equal a selected seasonal scout

[buoyant elk]

Yes i said for who uses paid gems

[sullen hedge]

selected seasonal scout happens like once, at most twice a year no?

[buoyant elk]

I mean i see people do pities with paid gems on multipulls

But probably those are only content creators

[mental skiff]

up to you but it isnt economical

[buoyant elk]

Not my case

I have very few paid gems

[mental skiff]

get 3000 gems every 20 days and spend it on random banner

imagine next month 2 pokefair select scout drop

you will have to pay more...

[buoyant elk]

Too bad champion Marnie isn't eligible for Lodge

[sullen hedge]

yea i have at least 10k paid saved, in case that happens

[mental skiff]

better

[sullen hedge]

it was always the case

but ok

im never rolling my paid gems to 0

[mental skiff]

they have tendency to drop pokefair selected scout lately

[sullen hedge]

this month im tempted by hop to buff my wally 🧘‍♂️

[mental skiff]

wally is lost cause

[sullen hedge]

he's not

[mental skiff]

hopefully you can use him

it take a masterful hand to handle suck a beast

[sullen hedge]

i think hop will make it so much easier

hop gives fighting zone+ shred

surely that'll be enough

[mental skiff]

i tried with Acynthia but :V he's kinda slow in building damage

[sullen hedge]

but i hate hop and that outfit

[mental skiff]

then wait for better fighting zone unit

[broken mulch]

I never got the Wally hate

He destroys every fighting weak stage I field him on

[vernal glade]

Mines Bea.

[mental skiff]

i like him tho... just not in battle

[sullen hedge]

i'll see if skyla drops maybe that'll buff my anni steven

[buoyant elk]

Wally is a good special fighting option

[sullen hedge]

i just dont like bea

[violet nebula]

But she still is a solid unit

[mental skiff]

waiting sentry entry x2 fight weak stage

[vernal glade]

She works well under fighting zone

[sullen hedge]

yea she's good, i just dont like her

like as her character

[signal halo]

Wait, is Skyla among the reruns?

[mental skiff]

nope

[buoyant elk]

However i don't get why there are several 100% sleep units and even aoe sleep, but for freeze they hardly go over 30%

[mental skiff]

Dena hate skyla

[sullen hedge]

no she's not, but there's a chance she'll be in april??????????????

like 🤏 chance

[mental skiff]

may be

[sullen hedge]

non 0

[buoyant elk]

Even flinch has at least a 100% unit and most are 60%

[sullen hedge]

hop lasts until april anyways

so does ball guy

[mental skiff]

i mean they can freeze for whole sync tho

[signal halo]

I'm not interested by the legendary birds bar peeeeeeeeerhaps hop

[sullen hedge]

so april datamines

[hard wave]

She has a photo atleast

[sullen hedge]

already waiting for the next one

[signal halo]

Marnie and Bede are easy skips for me

[mental skiff]

i already knew next month is a skip

[buoyant elk]

I can't do interactions with the photo

[sullen hedge]

the ball guy discount scout thing, it's not a guarantee right

[mental skiff]

you can hang it on the wall tho

[vernal glade]

Everyone’s a skip for me this half.

[sullen hedge]

and points dont combine?

[mental skiff]

probably bait

[vernal glade]

Just gotta wait for the next update

[sullen hedge]

so just dont even look at that banner right

[buoyant elk]

Probably not

[mental skiff]

ball guys kit suck :V

unless you like troll unit

[buoyant elk]

Ball guy is a meme

[sullen hedge]

first of all how dare you

[buoyant elk]

That kit would have been fine for a spotlight scout

[mental skiff]

30% chance to heal 10% tho and the grid make it 20% heal LET'S GOOOOO

[buoyant elk]

He should have been a free 3* / 4* unit

[mental skiff]

[sullen hedge]

kinda rude making fun of peoples faves

[vestal leaf]

Some gen pools rival highest fairs

So...

[sullen hedge]

honestly if he didnt have ex i wouldnt even look at him

[mental skiff]

it's his life purpose tho

become a meme

[sullen hedge]

yea but it's not yours

[vestal leaf]

He's a meme kit? Sure, pretty meme

But he's not horrible

20% team heal refresh is good in LG

[buoyant elk]

But is the tm 3 effects + 1 at random?

[vestal leaf]

And he cancels buffs

[mental skiff]

Well all unit usable in LG tho so everyone can shine even the ball guy

[vestal leaf]

Ikik

[cunning swan]

Yes

[vestal leaf]

I'm just saying I think he's more worth than fucking eevos

And by a decent margin

Even without ex

[buoyant elk]

But the random effect is like SC Lillie?

[cunning swan]

We don't know yet

[buoyant elk]

Then we will realize it will just activate one of the 3 effects at random

[ashen thunder]

I just noticed

That we can filter fav units now

[mental skiff]

HOWWWWWWW

tech me the way sensei

[buoyant elk]

I mean if he will start to summon random screens in gauntlet it may be a decent option

[vestal leaf]

^

Simple and easy

[mental skiff]

bruh that is new

[vestal leaf]

Yes

There's also new pr cap

[vernal glade]

Heart icon is favorites?

[vestal leaf]

Of 999

[ashen thunder]

Good

Means I don't have to login more than once per day

After like PR250

[lean mango]

FINALLY???

[vestal leaf]

The stamina increase stops at PR270

[ashen thunder]

It's 400 cap

[vestal leaf]

Ye

[ashen thunder]

We get 360 stamina per day

So ig around 230

[buoyant elk]

So it's just for the free refill?

[ashen thunder]

Then we only login once a day

Coz rn even pr130 has to login 2x a day

[hard wave]

PR 274 is the when u get most stamina

[ashen thunder]

Lot of qol this update

[mental skiff]

just realized i have 64 fav

[ashen thunder]

I just updated app, so I figuring em all out one by one

[hard wave]

I also got to make like 70 presets instead of 30

[buoyant elk]

Want +4 crit rate cap

[cunning swan]

Cool cool, can they add more grid presets now

[ashen thunder]

Nah
Go for 5/5 grid for soften up instead

Oh yea Lemme check if they increased presets for grids

[mental skiff]

125% chance to crit

[buoyant elk]

But not every 5/5 unit has soften up

[hard wave]

They also added more eggmons to the general ones including shiny kanto starters

[mental skiff]

i like that tho

[buoyant elk]

100% chance to crit on sync and max moves

[hard wave]

Eggdex (and moving the starter ones there) soon?

[ashen thunder]

OOF only 4 grid presets

Maybe they'll increase it to 10 for next anni

[mental skiff]

4 is enough :V

[buoyant elk]

Would be cool the ability to learn more lucky skills (even if you can equip only one)

[mental skiff]

seem like it's the case when they first make it

[hard wave]

Some pairs have 5-6 grids or more on the doc so it would help them ig

[buoyant elk]

Like you can give an unit both cs2 and sp3 and select the latter only on type

[hard wave]

Did the PMC screen change btw?

[topaz compass]

People been asking for this awhile. I doubt we get and not before 5th anni at least

[ashen thunder]

I need 7 just for may

[round mason]

||Dialga is this month, Gonna skip all 3 MFs||

[ashen thunder]

And 8 for SSTred

And like 10 for ghetsis

4 sucks
Especially for tech units

[mental skiff]

[ashen thunder]

Yea lucky skill+grid preset would be cool tho

then I'll need 20 preset configurations minimum

[mental skiff]

switch between lucky skill is fun tho

[hard wave]

Thats going to require so many cookies

[mental skiff]

Cant tech support anything beside vigilance

[mental skiff]

you still can only have 1 skill tho

[rotund sleet]

i wonder if we’ll be getting 8k before 6th of march. im beginning to doubt it

[mental skiff]

Chasing a pity?

[rotund sleet]

i haven’t pulled yet, but yeah if i can’t hit 36k i’ll have to skip emma

[lean mango]

Ball Guy lasts until April

[rotund sleet]

at 28.7k rn

[mental skiff]

event happen on 28-1-2-6 tho

surely you can get 6k gems

today till 27th is 2300 gems

[rotund sleet]

yeah i’ll be at 30,935 end of feb

it’s likely i’ll hit it, but will have to reconsider, because i also want flyhan

[deft glen]

I don't like that, I wish we could have a backup LS that we can swap everytime

[mental skiff]

that is what i want

[rotund sleet]

it seems flyhan’s banner likely will end before april datamine ?

it says a month on datamine summary

[mental skiff]

March 31st

[rotund sleet]

oh nvm

basically it means i won’t be able to get both flyhan and emma unless i score one of them a reasonable # of points before pity

[mental skiff]

well must think about future

better save 1 pity before datamine

and Emma seem like the type will rerun regularly

[rotund sleet]

30k next month means i’ll be at 60,935 if i don’t pull on emma

at the end of next month

[rotund sleet]

good point

[mental skiff]

sound good

Im around that too hopefully i wont reach pity with ||Marnie banner||

[rotund sleet]

pokefairs are never guaranteed reruns unfortunately, but always somewhat probable. at least with seasonals you know exactly when they’ll be back

[mental skiff]

but seasonal has abysmal chance

[rotund sleet]

MF rates so expect the worst

[mental skiff]

chasing seasonal make me sick

[rotund sleet]

i know that better than anyone

[mental skiff]

i only have new year and summer left

[deft glen]

Now that you say that I remembered I wanted a S Marnie select and we didn't get that

[rotund sleet]

no limited selects for a half anni is an interesting choice

[mental skiff]

i have to save for S Marnie since this month

[rotund sleet]

little confused on their monetisation regimes

[mental skiff]

i fear no seasonal select in anni tho

[lean mango]

This entire half anni is all an interesting choice

[rotund sleet]

yeah it all seems out of place

just feels like random galar va/precursor to galar va content shoehorned into a completely unrelated event

sorta thing

[mental skiff]

true tho i wasnt prepared for marnie

i planned to save for summer

[deft glen]

.333 chance

[mental skiff]

just experienced 0.33% last winter

get a big ol pity

[lean mango]

I really wanted Ball Guy to be free or at least a spotlight

[mental skiff]

everyone want free stuff

[rotund sleet]

now that variety units will presumably have ex, it just seems like another limited banner type

with more unorthodox characters perhaps? but mcs with eeveelutions isn’t exactly weird

[mental skiff]

variety seem like one time thing which will never rerun

[cunning swan]

I still don't get what differentiates variety banner with spotlights then

Just that the unit is limited? Feels very pointless

[rotund sleet]

well obviously spotlights enter the general pool

[cunning swan]

Just a money making machine

[rotund sleet]

yeah it’s just limited

as are all limiteds, but the previous variety banner was absolutely vile

[cunning swan]

Nah, even with the eevee day units, dena mentioned that they can rerun

[rotund sleet]

reused asset city with no ex

[mental skiff]

it's like 800$ special edition

pretty pointless but you have money

[ashen thunder]

Variety is just pokefair

But 7% rate

Oh wait.....

Its just seasonal

Without seasonal tag

[mental skiff]

true tho

[ashen thunder]

[lean mango]

I just wanted a break from pulling

[rotund sleet]

what’s the rate for feature unit on variety ??

[vestal leaf]

2%

[mental skiff]

never ending circle of suffer

[ashen thunder]

Yea it's basically a limited unit regardless

[rotund sleet]

so it’s just a run of the mill limited banner with a weird name

whatever i guess

hopefully variety means less conventional characters from here on out

[lean mango]

At least I'm not going for a MF

[rotund sleet]

ball guy is a good start

[lean mango]

👀

[mental skiff]

Next year they will give you ultra ball guy or master ball guy tho

[lean mango]

If it isn't poison type I don't want it

[mental skiff]

Paradox amongus

[ashen thunder]

Oh yea my gem count is now 6.4k ||waiting till datamine day to roll for pity was worth it, even got an SSdiantha copy on the way making her 3/5 without candies||

[cunning swan]

F2p here

[mental skiff]

same

variety banner isn't exist

[cunning swan]

Palentines Ball Guy. It's just a Love Ball

[mental skiff]

[cunning swan]

Fall Ball Guy with Dusk Ball

There

[lean mango]

It's not even Poison type

[mental skiff]

It will be fun if we get ball guy whole year tho

[cunning swan]

Ball Guy with Brute Bonnet and his pokeball is the old Hisui one

[upbeat lotus]

And Poison Tera

[mental skiff]

Oh it's dark

[lean mango]

🧍‍♂️

[mental skiff]

Cant wait till Tera come to poma tho

[lean mango]

I don't know what to do if they implement Teras

[mental skiff]

just like CSerena

[lean mango]

I'll base it off their type theme skill then

[cunning swan]

Yeah, probably like the frogs but it lasts until the rest of the battle

[mental skiff]

probably they will give use flying pikachu as first tera pokemon tho

[lean mango]

meh

[mental skiff]

never have enough pikachu

[lean mango]

Another one for me to skip

[mental skiff]

[heady ice]

SS Brendan rerun? My gems will not be safe! lol

[sly breach]

You got 167k no sweat

[shell glade]

No select PF scout this month?

Shame

I remember grabbing quite a few PFs from last years selects

[heady ice]

I'll prob pull all 3 MF's though =p

[shell glade]

This half anni is feeling pretty disappointing so far for me

Unless there's a second update halfway through

[sly breach]

If you pity all you still got like 20k gems left

[weary spire]

I feel you

[shell glade]

saved up 10kish paid gems

[weary spire]

That is not all that comforting

[heady ice]

it is not

[shell glade]

I don't even like galar units aside from hop

[sly breach]

If that happened to me i would just drop the game and come back 6 months later

[shell glade]

I'm more likely to go for the anni raihan banner than any of the MFs

Bc it's the only PF banner where I don't have any of them

[weary spire]

That's why you always go in prepared to pity, it's not that you believe it'll happen, but you should expect it

[topaz compass]

@shell glade I'm jealous you have a triple banner with 3 new unit to pull on

[sly breach]

Do you think these trio would be able to match 3rd anni trio?

[heady ice]

I like the galar birds, so it's tempting

[rancid vale]

lmao no

[shell glade]

Nah they ain't soloing literally every LA ( dunno about terrakion till we see it )

[rancid vale]

not even close

[mental skiff]

3 galar bird = 1 pikachu

[shell glade]

I wouldn't even put them on top of the Johto VA MFs

Now ball guy though...

ball guy looks a lot more fun for LG players

[weary spire]

They may indeed be able to match the 3rd anni trio, in that I skip them all

[rancid vale]

ball guy is literally more interesting than the actual anni units imo

[shell glade]

Somehow a triple MF comes out and none of them look as cool as ball guy

[rancid vale]

unironically

[shell glade]

how does the variety scout work for the big ball

should've just made ball guy a MF

[sweet tide]

[crisp oracle]

4 move candy

[sweet tide]

i will update to 37k when they announce the RT rally on tuesday + when its completed

[mental skiff]

Oh nice

[lofty relic]

hmm

there's a vast diff between Shiro's and Tlim's breakdown now

Shiro has only 30.930 gems from Feb 28 to March 30

[mental skiff]

Tlim count since 24th

[lofty relic]

Tlim has 34 for same period

no

[mental skiff]

oh i see

[lofty relic]

@sweet tide any ideas why there's a 4k difference?

so i can send feedback to Shiro

[sweet tide]

do u have his calcs

[shell glade]

i'll enough for 2 pitys

[sweet tide]

i can double check

here

[sweet tide]

oh i know why

but let me double check

[sturdy flower]

Lance and Gloria expansion is straight up powercreep of the units

it's not "alternative" it's straight up way better

especially Lance who stops being a meme at 5/5

[sweet tide]

@lofty relic

1. i've already added in 3k from pokemon presents that will be on monday. he did not.
2. he didnt bring forward 300 gems from run up log in bonus
3. he is missing 50 from general log in bonus
   if u add 3350 to his amount, u will get 34280

[lofty relic]

thank you!

[mental skiff]

and they said 4/5, 5/5 not gonna matter

[sturdy flower]

you pretty much build the grids only from the new nodes for these 2

Gloria and that steel rebuff at 5/5

[timber wren]

no, he’s pretty sick at just 3/5, further just makes him more self sufficient

[sturdy flower]

well, ok, in Lance's case that's somewhat true

but Gloria?

[rancid vale]

gloria actually needs 5/5 but it means shes not worst pf anymore

[mental skiff]

yeah 3/5 and 4/5 gloria is

[sturdy flower]

Lance in general will appreciate that additional multiplier

[rancid vale]

now if only ss cynthia can get an expansion

[cunning swan]

15 tech coins?! Bless

[sturdy flower]

he's like Alder in that regard, actually strong now

[mental skiff]

amen

[sturdy flower]

this makes me think that Lance might join lodge soonish

altho I will still take Cynthia from the ticket probably, she's already in lodge...

[rancid vale]

im in spain without the a

[mental skiff]

Old pokefair unit will join lodge eventually

people said Gloria cant join lodge but now look at her

[sturdy flower]

i went for her in January triple pokefair

because i assumed she will

her, diantha and Iris Alt. are 3 units that might join lodge

yes, Iris champion outfit instead of the free one

[mental skiff]

Yes

CIris has more pokemon for lodge

[sturdy flower]

and if not, I like Iris theme anyways so worth it

[mental skiff]

i would like CIris tho so i can laugh at one who didn't choose CIris on free ticket

[sturdy flower]

i will go Cynthia instead of 3/5 Ciris

altho I might 5/5 her at some point

that will be coins tho

[mental skiff]

already 3/5 Cynthia :V never use her

[sturdy flower]

ah no, Cynthia will be 1/5, it's just for lodge

[mental skiff]

So good but Giovani is there

i see

lodge Cynthia is useful tho

[dim atlas]

just me or this is a skip month

i dont care about galar that much

[vestal leaf]

Can't wait for 5/5 ciris

[sturdy flower]

it's skip if you dont care about Galar

right, gotta check the MF kits

read all but them

Lorelei is disappointing

[lofty relic]

@sweet tide sorry for the ping again, did the twitter confirm the 3k presents on Monday?

i can't find anything about it

[vestal leaf]

I just went and checked Bede's grid

Organization wise

[sweet tide]

it will be announced during pokemon presents. im just adding in cos im lazy to re screenshot everything again lol

[vestal leaf]

||give me strength because now I'm tempted to pull him too||

[lofty relic]

oh

[vestal leaf]

||his grid is so well managed REEEE||

[lofty relic]

are we certain they'll give us 3k then?

last time they didn't iirc

[sweet tide]

they always gave us

they didnt give us anni present

[lofty relic]

ok perfect then thx

[sweet tide]

but pokemon presents are always given

shiro can leave it until monday

no rush lol

[lofty relic]

gotcha thanks

[dim atlas]

i actually like hop and G-zapdos but not enough to sacrifice gems over hisui

[mental skiff]

god bless us with more gems

[sturdy flower]

im starting with the support (Bede)

[mental skiff]

although i dont think we will have rally since drawing event is happening

gosh dan i should enroll in art school

[sturdy flower]

huh wait, Bede has 0 tiles for his TM

ah ofc, 3/5 sharp entry

[vestal leaf]

He gets one mp back

With every sync

Remember

Even not his

[sturdy flower]

yeah, but it costs 4

wait, it's not first time only

[vestal leaf]

Yep

Always

It's so dumb lol

[sturdy flower]

it's a weird unit tbh

[crimson nebula]

well i love it but i dont see myself candying it

[vestal leaf]

God this month will kill me

But that's why I save

I also will ||scout slowly||

[sturdy flower]

objectively meta wise i dont think this is a game changer

[vestal leaf]

Yeah

But teamwise it's very fun

To build around these 3 imo

[sturdy flower]

it's also a bit gauge heavy

if you wnt to use freezing glare that is

[vestal leaf]

You shouldn't

Tbh

TM > confusion > buddy

I think cycles well

[rancid vale]

freezing glare’s just there because its signature

[sturdy flower]

wait, user's moves

[rancid vale]

you shouldnt be using it tbh

[vestal leaf]

Buddies are 0 gauge

On these 3

Remember

[sturdy flower]

is it both TM and B freezing glare

[sweet tide]

and they are infinite in a sense

[vestal leaf]

I think so

[sweet tide]

so u shld make use of the buddy moves

[vestal leaf]

Yes

[sweet tide]

to use bede's TM

[vestal leaf]

^

[sweet tide]

cos 4 gauge TM is ridiculous lol

[sturdy flower]

if it's both then it's an interesting unit

[vestal leaf]

So yeah nvm

Cycle is

Confusion > buddy > TM

?

[sweet tide]

probably

thats good

but actually

[vestal leaf]

Man this is gonna be fun

[sweet tide]

if u use all 3

u unlock bede's b move instantly

so lol

or is it hop's one

who is the one that unlocks at sync cd 6

[sturdy flower]

i didnt read the rest

and using them together feels weird

i mean, they are mish mash of random types

[lean mango]

34k??

[rancid vale]

i think hop and bede do

[sweet tide]

let me check

[crimson nebula]

hop is 6

[sturdy flower]

hop is at 6

[crimson nebula]

bede 3

[sweet tide]

yeah bede is 3

[crimson nebula]

and marnie is once every sync

[sweet tide]

hop is 6

so basically if u bring all 3

u instantly unlock bede's b move

so u can use bede's tm after using his b move

its good that their b moves are infinite in a sense, and they all have piercing blows in them

yummy

[sturdy flower]

oh god

if they all have piercing blows the EB will be horrible

[vestal leaf]

Yel

Their Sync cd stuff

Combos in silly ways

[sweet tide]

the ebe i think only allister is messy cos of sentry entry x2

piers is just HP heavy but sc diantha/bea shld do fine

[sturdy flower]

there's only one EB?

[sweet tide]

psychic u have giovanni anw lol

[sturdy flower]

not 3?

[sweet tide]

there's 3

allister piers bea

[mental skiff]

Sound good to me

[sturdy flower]

||i have pikachu duo i can do any EB||

[mental skiff]

free 900 gems

[sweet tide]

ebe is 1800

[mental skiff]

i mean part 2

[sweet tide]

lmao

[sturdy flower]

there's no way Giovanni cant do part 2

NO WAY

[sweet tide]

psychic is not so bad

[sturdy flower]

unless it's galar only and not type

[sweet tide]

they all have galar + typing

[sturdy flower]

so galar + fighting/psychic and dark?

[sweet tide]

the only issue is the first one

[mental skiff]

it has imprevious?

Giovani greatest weakness

[robust shore]

and thank goodness for that

[mental skiff]

[sweet tide]

yeah galar plus the 3 typings for each individual ebe

[sturdy flower]

sounds decently easy

[sweet tide]

piers has 148k HP tho so lmfao

[lean mango]

Yoo?

[sweet tide]

ridiculous

[sturdy flower]

piers is which

[sweet tide]

fighting

weak

[lean mango]

I don't have to struggle in a Galar EBE finally?

[sturdy flower]

ah yeah, because the bird has zone

[sweet tide]

so u can use sc diantha or bea or i cant rmb who else

[sturdy flower]

better zone management than SSA

fighting zone only on MF units

what is DeNa thinking

[mental skiff]

[sweet tide]

we still dont have fighting wish funny

[willow pollen]

+typing ! Thank gosh after Leon’s Ebe…

[sweet tide]

leon's ebe was a mess if u dont have leon -.-

[lean mango]

And with outfits that lack drip

[mental skiff]

probably we will have fighting rebuff before someone can wish

[sturdy flower]

i did Leon's with the chu's

[sweet tide]

i have no idea why are they gatekeeping ice zone

so silly

[lean mango]

I haven't even done Leon's EBE

[willow pollen]

Imagine getting your rebuff before you get any zone, would not be ice.

[sturdy flower]

ice zone will be on MF Kyurem and Ghetsis

[sweet tide]

thats 10 yrs later

u gonna see blue and articuno get it soon lol

[lean mango]

They're saving it for Glacia alt

[willow pollen]

On the day of EOS. We will get ice zone.

[sturdy flower]

if we get 3 kanto birds the same way it will be dangerous for me

i like them much more

even if their types are... less desirable

[sweet tide]

will they do another kantoian electric mf tho lmfao

[sturdy flower]

will they not

[sweet tide]

i guess zapdos can be support

[sturdy flower]

rebuff

rebuff tank for the pikachus

[sweet tide]

yes we love a legendary empowering the mice

[lean mango]

There will be some disruption since Dana is getting a bird probably

[mental skiff]

tera flying pikachu soon

pikachu will get more alt

[sweet tide]

so curious how they are gonna do tera

[lean mango]

Dana's the one with the birds right?

[sweet tide]

knowing dena, its gonna be gimmicky as heck

[sturdy flower]

press button to change type of all moves or something

and get a new stackable boost

because why not

[sweet tide]

and pokefair or masterfair exclusive

[mental skiff]

Max move + mega = Tera

just Tera whenever you want

[sweet tide]

yeah its probably max move gimmick + mega evo stat change

[sturdy flower]

only decent thing with Hop and the icky Leon outfit

they didnt copy the stickers on the cape

at least he wont have pepsi commercial on his back

[vernal glade]

Woah 36k, I can reach 4th pity this month

[sturdy flower]

you have it easy skip right Zoro

since you have that summer N for dark

[vernal glade]

100% yes

||Hes even max out 5/5, 150, everything max||

[lean mango]

So glad they made it type based for the EBEs

I can not handle Galar EBEs at all

[vernal glade]

I highly agree

[shell glade]

alder or lance? I aint investing any candy into either bc I have other units in need

[sly breach]

Only 2/5 masked royale sad

[sturdy flower]

can I do 148k with Korrina and Wally on type

[vernal glade]

If it was Galar only then goodbye to those gems I’ll be missing.

[shell glade]

I assume both will be in lodge eventually but Lance will probably come sooner

[sturdy flower]

Steven > Lance > Alder

imo

the order

[shell glade]

I need the extra lodge units for LG but

[sturdy flower]

Steven might come next month

because we are rerunning hoenn

[shell glade]

lance is staying 1/5 forever

[lean mango]

We've been saying that EVERY MONTH 😭😭

[shell glade]

hows the new lodge gloria look

[sturdy flower]

monke

on-type monke

whack whack

[shell glade]

I probably ain't rolling for her but i wanna know if she's decent

[sturdy flower]

when Emma buffs speed better than galarian Zapdos

im surprised Hop has no Cakewalk

he's the first unit actually built for it

[shell glade]

huh weird

[vernal glade]

Maybe they’ll rerun Anni Skyla 4.0 or 4.5

[sturdy flower]

did they give 5/5 grids to anni units?

[vernal glade]

Except Skyla

Only Raihan and… I forgot the other

May??

[rancid vale]

raihan and may got 5/5

[deft glen]

Anni May's 5/5 is basically nothing

[rancid vale]

may’s 5/5 is ass

[sturdy flower]

i missed something or Hop can't even grab all cool nodes

[shell glade]

she gets regen for easier LG duos

but who tf is willing to roll for 5/5?

[vernal glade]

Absolutely not me

[shell glade]

I also think BOGO is less terrible than it sounds as someone who uses her in LG but def not worth it

sometimes you won't have enough gauge after using psychic wish if you don't already have a free move next

bc you were saving the terrain to avoid OHKOing a bar

[violet nebula]

Hmm

[shell glade]

A very niche situation ofc

And probably only relevant for certain budget comps

[vernal glade]

Psychic wish same thing as psychic terrain right?

[shell glade]

there's a slight difference: latias can use wish while flinched / confused / sleeping

probably won't come up unless you're running niche LG comps

[vernal glade]

||Nah, Anni May doesn’t interest me||

[shell glade]

I think the new grid expansions were 100% aimed at LG folks like me

So they're gonna have very niche options that never come up anywhere else

It def explains the new gloria one getting sharp entry

Tho ofc her rebuff is pretty mediocre outside of certain uxie comps

[bleak falcon]

2/5 Gloria means you don’t have to reset for MP Refresh on most of the Hilbert variants

Plenty handy even without LG reasons

[ashen thunder]

I actually do plan on rolling Gloria if next datamine doesn't have anything special

[shell glade]

I'm waiting for the anni raihan and that's it

getting any of the 3 would do wonders for my LG roster

[violet nebula]

Unlikely next datamine will have anything special

4th ani will

[vernal glade]

Ya.

[shell glade]

after that i'm saving for alola VA

[violet nebula]

Though unless you count swim suit waifus

[vernal glade]

Same here… ||Only if there’s a zeraora.||

[violet nebula]

Yes Zeraroa

Is needed

[shell glade]

I still want lusa necrozma

[violet nebula]

Need Palmer and Rhyperior

[buoyant elk]

Did hop just took Leon's cape?

Even the ex colors are the same

[vernal glade]

He looks like young Leon

[topaz compass]

So you get more than 1 B move for Bede if you can string multiple -3 sync countdowns? (Assuming you sync before more countdowns)? But still that kind of limits to 2 right?

[vestal leaf]

?

It unlocks every time your team uses 3 turns no

[topaz compass]

OK they are way better than I thought then. Move along people nothing to see here

[sturdy flower]

it unlocks, but it has 1 use

so you need to sync to get it back

[vestal leaf]

Basically yeah

[sturdy flower]

by "you" i mean your team

[vestal leaf]

All 3 can buddy

[sturdy flower]

not specifically Bede

[vestal leaf]

Every cycle

Which is fine

Considering their buddy moves are gaugeless versions of their regular one

[sturdy flower]

stronger gaugeless versions

[vestal leaf]

Yea

[sturdy flower]

Marnie is AoE

[vestal leaf]

Yea

Both of marnies moves

Are aoe

[shell glade]

ok they're better than i expected

[sturdy flower]

oh, didnt notice

so her regular Fiery Wrath is worse when 3 targets are around

[vestal leaf]

Yeah

Her regular move actually flinches more than the buddy at 3/5

Lol

60% aoe flinch

[sturdy flower]

30?

[vestal leaf]

?

20% base + aggravation 2

[drowsy saddle]

Key word "aoe"

[vestal leaf]

Yeah yeah

Still great tbh

[violet nebula]

Aoe does lose its bite when 1 enemy is left

[tardy fiber]

Neat, i just noticed this

[bleak falcon]

Yep, it’s very nice

[tardy fiber]

Did they already implemented 100 teams? I haven't check

[bleak falcon]

I believe so

[tardy fiber]

Sweet

Time to login

[feral vale]

I HAVEN’T CHECKED

AGH

IT IS THERE

[bleak falcon]

Insert joyous music here

[feral vale]

I have so much to do on Masters this weekend

[crisp oracle]

What is the point of having 100 teams lmao

[feral vale]

OH YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE—

You will see what I am capable of when I am done making all my new slots.

[reef river]

Rather than having "rain team" and regularly switching out my preferred striker i can now have a team prebuilt for each striker/strategy

[feral vale]

THIS, THIS, THIIIS!!!

[crisp oracle]

So I can build seperate teams around each of my main damage dealers and have them prebuilt

I just had BP Teams before lol

[feral vale]

I should tell people instead of worrying about pulling, just nicely decorate your Lodge

[crisp oracle]

Have a star

[tardy fiber]

With these many teams, i don't need to build teams specific for each cs weakness anymore...i just build 18 types team

[feral vale]

Omg yes guys please star this

[tardy fiber]

Its too expensive, i might need to save for a month to recoup i will wait for DeNa to release third expedition team again to grid red and blue mats

[hard wave]

Yup

I love it, I made 70 teams

[feral vale]

YOOOO

I’m gonna work on a bunch when I am home

[hard wave]

Maybe like 40 r just CS

I made one for every e4/champ

Also added 4 more teams, 2 for events and EBEs as well as one for legendary arena

[upbeat lotus]

@sweet tide sorry for the ping but i want to ask you something. In the daily gem count you didnt include the 3k Presents gems in 27th, did you?

[sturdy flower]

on my way to have 9 Elesa plushies

[unborn pier]

that’s unknown for now and there’s a ‘Pokémon Day 2023’ gem gift on the 28th which seems to take the place of the one meant to be the day before but I’m not sure

chances are we get another 3k though maybe??

[dusty oyster]

Based on this message, I believe they're already counting the Presents gems
#1010275375730925638 message

[chrome nest]

Does anyone have the odds on how likely it is to get 3 master fairs?

[topaz compass]

I guess I should make a team for each type, special and physical

[lean mango]

Very low I'd say

[topaz compass]

I'm optimistic we get a 3k twitter rally in march

[lean mango]

Alota gems we gettin then

I'll definitely be at at 90k by the time April rolls around

[topaz compass]

Last year was better. Over 70k feb/March. This year like 65

[tardy fiber]

100% if you have 3 pities

[chrome nest]

I just need to think about which to choose

[upbeat lotus]

Thanks!

[topaz compass]

I thought he meant 3 MF in a single 11 multi

[chrome nest]

In general

[drowsy saddle]

What do you mean?

[chrome nest]

Percentage in how likely is it to get 3 master fairs

[drowsy saddle]

100%, since you have three pities.

[chrome nest]

What about without pity

[drowsy saddle]

You mind telling anything specific?

300 gems? 3k gems? 35k?

[feral vale]

3 MF in a pity?

[drowsy saddle]

3 MF in a lifetime?

[chrome nest]

Ok so what are the odds of getting 3 master fairs in general so like separate banners without a pity so below 36.6K

[hard wave]

74% chance u get 1 copy by pity

[feral vale]

This is mainly a saving channel.

We cannot tell you who to pull. Pull mentions should be spoilered here anyway.

[vapid ravine]

Oh sorry, where may i go for the question?

[tough oriole]

#poma-questions
But generally, here we’d say that anyone who isn’t your fave is worth skipping

So like, you might want to save for ingo’s alt for example

[vapid ravine]

Thanks, I'll ask there

Oh i forget that's my username here hahahaha

[tardy fiber]

4 more resets till new lodge guest, i hope i can get 2 more certs before she arrives

Oh cynthia in 3 resets

Oh 3020 bp next month, im shy 1k away from forming the next rainbow ticket with that much

[tough oriole]

So far they’ve added bp mfs in a group of 2, 1, then 2

||So since dena hates patterns next time there’ll be 17||

[tardy fiber]

I don't mind if bunch of those are reruns

I just hope that EBE will reruns as well if their MF reruns

It's kinda free gems for those that already have the units from previous run

[tough oriole]

I meant the BP master pairs

[tardy fiber]

I hope its just 2

I can hopium for 3 if i save the next rainbow ticket

But Mesprit kinda calling me

It want some dupe

[hard wave]

U can make different types of teams like one for each type and stuff

I think its mostly LG, but I still made 70 teams and 10 were for gauntlet

[tough oriole]

One for every region rotation
Some people name their teams after the E4s and champs for CS, so you can also have one for every CS

[hard wave]

Also the way they handled the master passives

Both cynthias taking up one passive, serenas taking up 2 passive, and bede and leon sharing a passive

[tardy fiber]

I like duplicate master passive, like leonzard aint a fave but cHop is, so i can just get him instead...hope there's duplicate for cserena and ccalem as well because i skipped them...neo champion might be the way for duplicate master passives

So no need to get every MF
