Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[tardy fiber]

Glad it works out, and im stupid as I don't know that i could just reroll

Till i get one of them

Oh i still use 3 strikers in my team that time and i wonder why it's so hard when i use a full team of Legendaries

[sand crown]

Dena dropping two MF at the same time was a huge surprise at the time

[tardy fiber]

Till i join discord and found the wonderful skyla

[reef river]

Day 1 player

[tough oriole]

Well, the early stages needed certain pairs to be used, but i guess the general pool was really small

[tardy fiber]

Im thankful to Day 1 players, if they are not complaining and DeNa didn't take notice. My newbie days will not feel that easy

[tough oriole]

The grinding would have also been awful without stamina
I think i almost quit the game when they added it, thank goodness i didn’t

[hasty umbra]

ah, yeah, the state of the game was questionable the first year

hence why they revamped it with the name change and all

I quit a bit after grids were introduced, the grind was annoying AF

[tardy fiber]

I didn't expect that they will do legendary adventures, although it does tick me when my first few months are solgaleo>mewtwo>ho-oh and then dena frickin repeat mewtwo event again why? Give me my other legendaries

[sand crown]

Early sync orb days were excruciating

[fallen path]

I remember stopping when I couldn’t get past a story level

I only had two moves on that sync pair

[sand crown]

having to replay battles over and over and yet have the chances of getting an orb battle decreased? Oml

[tardy fiber]

I did sent feedback to DeNa to give to legendary events units, although I didn't expect that it becomes an arc with many plots dragging few years...DeNa you should give me a reward like 30k gems or something for the idea

[fallen path]

Here’s 300 gems, Vantner

[tardy fiber]

My first lottery gems is 300 gems

[tough oriole]

And your second?

[tardy fiber]

Although the recent one is 600

[tough oriole]

Same

[tardy fiber]

Its an increase

[fallen path]

Next one gonna be 1200 gems

Just multiply by 2

[tardy fiber]

Oh not 900? Well even better

Just gonna wait for it to become 30k

By multiplication

Man im poor after lodge decos, but i dont want to do tri color farming back...rare chests are good for lodge stones

[tough oriole]

I bought the N and Lillie plushes/replicas then stopped

I’m now saving for artwork

But I can’t decide which one lmao

[tardy fiber]

I buy kanto VA

I also buy silver, but didn't notice that it is small

[tough oriole]

If they had a 2 year anni artwork, i would buy that in an instant

[tardy fiber]

So putting it in loading screen feels lacking

I gonna save to get Johto VA part 2 next

Or hoenn VA part 2

Dena skipping on third expedition team

Iirc ny event and pal event doesn't have bonus expedition team

[tough oriole]

Might get unoVA or Alola VA stuff

[vernal glade]

If it is VA next month for Alola, it’s possibly gonna be a skip.

[tardy fiber]

I hope its a 2 month VA

Will be easier to save

Also more time to grab any faves

Banners duration in part 1 will be carried over to part 2

[vernal glade]

There’s no way my fave mythical appearing next month.

[tardy fiber]

Zeraora might appear on alola VA

[tough oriole]

Hau and Zeraora

Oh yea i should update my gem count lmao

[tardy fiber]

I wonder who gonna get UB, will it be Archer and Ariana

[tough oriole]

How would they implement Ion Deluge (Plasma Fists’ added effect) in PoMa

[upbeat lotus]

Team Electric Shift

[tough oriole]

Or they could just ignore it like Sparkling Aria

[tardy fiber]

Probably ignore

Or link it with elec terrain or rebuff shenanigans

[tough oriole]

Thank you for bringing that up tho, i feel more emboldened to save

[tough oriole]

Alright, gem update (111k) and specific plans for the future:
This month’s stuff should bring me to my 4th pity
||If SC Ingo and Emmet rerun next month, I’m ready to spend 2 pities on them (bringing me down to 2)||
||From next month and the months after’s gems, I should get back up to 3 pities, perhaps for Lillie, Hau, and maybe Gladion alts in Alola VA.|| ||I also need to be perpetually prepared for an SS Wally rerun||

||Perhaps I’ll also pick up Champ Bede this month; Bede is cool, I love his outfit, and I like Galarian Articuno.|| this one is related to stuff coming very soon, read at your risk

I think that’s very important to have a plan for the future

[maiden kayak]

is it me

or anni special increase gems for same rate

used to be 300 for 1 bucks

nowits 350 gems 1 buck

[tough oriole]

Oh wow 50 more gems how generous
But yea, iirc they were 300 gems

[timber wren]

it changed when the apple price hikes took effect

[vale ivy]

Wait, why we get more if it's price hike

Is it because android gets more

[small cloud]

alright im here for my intervention for not spending my very precious paid gems on a free banner when marnie comes out

[timber wren]

they increased the gems in each bundle across the board regardless if your country got a price hike

[vale ivy]

Oh ic

[timber wren]

spending paids for regular multis is very bad value, we will get enough between now and when marnie leaves for you to accumulate enough gems for pity

[ashen thunder]

Best value for paid gems is select

[hasty umbra]

limited Selects*

[ashen thunder]

Anything outside select is just not as worth

Ye gen pool select 🚮

[hasty umbra]

at least for me, gen pool selects are

[ashen thunder]

They can always spook

It's paying money for PUs

[small cloud]

i only got like 15k paid rn but i did buy the daily pack thing that give 2k i think

[vale ivy]

No limited selects this patch, sad tbh

[small cloud]

so theres that ig

[hasty umbra]

I got Colress from the free ticket pulls, it was a nice surprise

[small cloud]

i got my ss erika from my free ticket pulls

which was very needed

and i like leafeon

[hasty umbra]

enjoy, she is arguably the best general pool damage dealer

Solar Blade goes brrr

[ashen thunder]

Best is Kris

[hasty umbra]

oh right, her power boost

[ashen thunder]

Kris fans in heaven

[hasty umbra]

ok, one of

[ashen thunder]

Well for 1/5 it's Defo Erika or bea

[small cloud]

between ss kris and reg kris i have some good water options since if needed i can just run ss kris with reg kris

[ashen thunder]

Since 1/5 Kris is a joke

[hasty umbra]

Bede? news to me he is gen pool

[small cloud]

yeah i got her 1/5 for now hoping for a dupe soon tho

[ashen thunder]

If you have enuff strong units
You don't have to chase meta

Oh I meant bea

[hasty umbra]

ok, that makes more sense

[small cloud]

not sure if my units are strong but i have all the f2p so i can beat most content

[tough oriole]

One’s named after beets, the other is named after beans (but also beat)

[small cloud]

neat

[sturdy flower]

1 more month to get my anniversary of getting 2/5 Bea

(still 2/5)

[tough oriole]

Bea(t)

[small cloud]

[ashen thunder]

I'll just wait till last day before deciding who to roll

For the anni

Coz I don't like galar and only rolling for fomo

[small cloud]

lol

[sturdy flower]

you went there from "i won't roll, they are all bad", huh

[ashen thunder]

I mean

Fomo is a thing

[sturdy flower]

MFs do rerun though

[ashen thunder]

It's just I will also look upcoming datamine

If it has ssmay

I am rolling till 5/5

Like the noob I am

[hasty umbra]

too many techs

[ashen thunder]

Else I'll just pick one of the galar mons

I am too scared to use candies

Ever since 5/5

Since my fav roster is small and already got 90% of em
I can roll dupes and save candies

[hasty umbra]

funny I say that, because I'll get Hop, and if Anni Skyla happens to actually be a thing at some point, be a surprise mid month update or in April, then I'd have 2 techs but no candies

[tough oriole]

[ashen thunder]

Yea I wish anni Skyla actually available

Wonder what multi scout they'd put her in

[hasty umbra]

tbf I'd likely keep Skyla at 1/5 for a while anyway since I have SS Ethan

[ashen thunder]

I just want to roll for more power
While also being able to use my favs as efficiently as possible without them getting outshined

[hasty umbra]

imagine, Anni Skyla and CElesa for the besties theme

[ashen thunder]

Like
There's noway I am rolling hop

Else my scdiantha looks like a joke

[hasty umbra]

you mean SCDiantha?

typos for days

[ashen thunder]

Yes
damnit autocorrect

While I might roll bede or Marnie
Since they don't outshine my favs

Depends on how next datamine is ofc

[tardy fiber]

Faves being outshine, i already faced it a few times like with this update...my yveltal already lose its place

[oak crest]

I'm ||going for Hop and probably Marnie||

Bede... ugh, no

i dont like his kit

[ashen thunder]

Just 5/5 yveltal

So he's better than lugia

at single target

Tbh I don't care abt ontype so

[hasty umbra]

I won't roll for Marnie because, 1. strong strikers come often and they get powercrept just as quick, and 2. I don't like her too much

[ashen thunder]

So having 2 flying teams still sound solid

[cunning swan]

same tbh

[hasty umbra]

and I have enough strong damage dealers already to care just about power

[cunning swan]

I refuse to have any Marnie in my box because I hate her JP voice with a passion

[ashen thunder]

Ball guy is tempting coz of voice

It's Gilgamesh

[cunning swan]

based

[ashen thunder]

[cunning swan]

I haven't heard his JP voice

[hasty umbra]

who's this Gilgamesh? from where?

[ashen thunder]

It's just Gilgamesh shouting ballu at the end of every sentence

Fate

[hasty umbra]

I see

[ashen thunder]

We got JP saber VA for anabel

And they are doing gil this patch

Dena knows what they are doing

[sturdy flower]

i like the VA but it just doesn't fit, like why

you can't just slap a popular VA on popular character randomly

[tardy fiber]

5/5 investment is too expensive when i have many faves, i already got annisteven for physical flying stuff, and ssethan for special flying stuff...

[ashen thunder]

Then tank lysandre

[tardy fiber]

Well i can still use him in gauntlet i guess

[ashen thunder]

I just try to make another offtype team if I can't shove my favs in

Like I did with zekrom

Tho I need to 5/5 him eventually as well
After cynthia

3/5 zekrom doesn't hit modern damage checks for me with his usual comp

[tardy fiber]

I just pair my zekrom with Evelyn and nita and bruteforce stage...his piercing blows will always make him relevant

[ashen thunder]

I am a CS maniac
If my favs can't unga bunga it offtype, I panic and try to roll optimal shit to assist em

I absolutely don't want to run SSTred for that tho
Coz running him means my beloved zekrom gets overshadowed

[tardy fiber]

I gonna wait for future elec fave with rebuff/terrain to help my Zekrom

[ashen thunder]

Yea I am praying for tapu koko MF as well

Think zekrom is my only fav without decent partners that don't steal spotlight

[tardy fiber]

I am still looking for partner for zekrom, yveltal

This update fixes darkrai's partner

[ashen thunder]

Yveltal for darkrai

[tardy fiber]

No, i want for fairy coverage

For now my fairy damage fave aint pure fairy

[ashen thunder]

DPS sycamore

And playrough Gloria

[tardy fiber]

Gloria is steel, let me hopium for fairy enamorus and magearna

[vernal glade]

Ya my fairy roster pretty bad.

[ashen thunder]

Fairy always come mixed typing

Maybe they'll do shiny xerneas eventually

To reflect it's offensive power

Coz xerneas in main games is a dps

And a top tier one at it too

[tardy fiber]

Oh i dont mind that, but kinda hard...kalos already gone through VA and Neo Champion

[ashen thunder]

I mean

NY lisia happened

During kalos

They can always make seasonal

[tardy fiber]

I only have 2 festive seasonal faves. I won't mind they adding more

[ashen thunder]

Is there a fairy UB or paradox?

[tardy fiber]

Scream Tail

[vernal glade]

Iron valiant part fairy also

[timber wren]

and flutter mane

[ashen thunder]

So next region has more fairies added

[hasty umbra]

Scream Tail is Psychic/Fairy
Iron Valiant is Fairy/Fighting
Flutter Mane is Ghost/Fairy

[tardy fiber]

I wonder if one of the tapu that have misty terrain will be fairy

[vernal glade]

Doesn’t Misty terrain not boost fairy tho?

[ashen thunder]

I am expecting tapu fini to be fairy

Coz more water units in this day and age is

[tardy fiber]

[mild spindle]

It doesn't boost any types. It weakens Dragon-type. Which won't make it in if that field effect ever comes.

[ashen thunder]

Less dmg vs dragons

[tardy fiber]

But damn tapu lele probably another psychic

[hasty umbra]

Misty Terrain would be legit useless in PoMa, well, not useless but pretty meh

[ashen thunder]

Hey
Psychic need more terrains in your case

[tardy fiber]

My psychic faves already stacked

[ashen thunder]

Coz you have 4 dps

[hasty umbra]

unless any pair making use of it comes with busted passives

[ashen thunder]

That are legendary psychic

And there's only 3 psy terrain setters

And only 1 of em is legendary

[vernal glade]

Latias

[tardy fiber]

Too many psychics

[timber wren]

you’ve forgotten ss steven

[tardy fiber]

Let it touch tiermaker border DeNa

[ashen thunder]

Oh yea
Then 4 terrain setters for psychic

[tardy fiber]

Keep em coming

[ashen thunder]

And 2 legendaries

[vernal glade]

Ya, only if choose “Try this.”

[tough oriole]

||Think of it like this, you already have anni may + gio to offtype with, now you’ll have tapu lele + sslusa ||

[timber wren]

and bede, and holiday whitney

[upbeat lotus]

7.8/10 too much psychic

[timber wren]

lots of psy terrain setters actually

[tough oriole]

You can offtype with only psychic damage dealers

[tardy fiber]

With this many faves, its rare for me to find a reason to offtype

[ashen thunder]

There is

Look at fairy

Peak ontype sycamore

[tardy fiber]

Yep only that

[ashen thunder]

[tardy fiber]

Poison, i just put gladion with FallIris and they even beat Diantha

Hope Nihilego is poison

So i can kick Silvally

[tough oriole]

Nihilego will have acid spray ripple effect

So firis can strike better

[tardy fiber]

If its a special poison damage dealer, i probably will 3/5 Falliris and let her spam acid to poison and drop enemies spdef

Cannot wait for anniversary, 2 new bp Master would be a much needed addition to my support faves roster

There's only 13 for now

[compact pasture]

Hopefully more free units

[tardy fiber]

Hisui and Paldea legendary adventures please

[lean mango]

Praying that I don't lose Nihilego to Rock

[tardy fiber]

Yep, rock still have Terrakion and Stakataka

[ashen thunder]

I am never rolling any more rock

Unless trainer is nate or smth

[dusty oyster]

It's gonna be a little weird having all of a meta trio for once

[ashen thunder]

I never rolled a trio of anything

Unless dialga/palkia/giratina counts

But palkia is free so

[dusty oyster]

Neither have I, this is the first all-bird event release they've had

Glad I've been saving

[tardy fiber]

I only have johto MF trio and hoenn MF trio

Oh pokewar sc quattro

[dusty oyster]

Nice

[ashen thunder]

Oh yea I do have the OG kantrio

Since I am a veteran

[dusty oyster]

...In hindsight, it's thematically fitting that the Hoenn MF trio has anti-synergy

Considering the legendaries involved

[ashen thunder]

Groudon+anni Steven is pretty good team

[dusty oyster]

Fair

[ashen thunder]

Archie as usual is the dead weight

[tough oriole]

Classic Blue, Leafvee, and Redlax?

[ashen thunder]

Since kyogre is ass

[tough oriole]

[ashen thunder]

.....

[dusty oyster]

hehe

[ashen thunder]

||Iactually have em as well||

[tough oriole]

I mean Clue and Redlax rerun daily so ig that makes sense

[ashen thunder]

Yep

More like redlax

Cblue still feels rare outside selects

Also existence of Emmet

Train bros too popular

[dusty oyster]

Only other potential trio I'd see myself getting is if they run the Kanto birds together

Since I love birds so I've only been pulling and using bird pairs

[tardy fiber]

Yep annisteven good with one of them, can dragon ascent with groudon and draco meteor with archie but not good with all three together

[tardy fiber]

They run latios+latias in one banner together...will you grab that too?

[dusty oyster]

I already have SSBrendan, so I will pull if I have the gems after next datamine

[ashen thunder]

I wish latias was a noticable improvement over Bianca at base itself

Needing 3/5 to be better than a gen pool is

[dusty oyster]

I have 83k rn and first priority is 3.5 anni pairs

[ashen thunder]

Tech candies expensive

[tardy fiber]

Well her psychic wish can still be cast if its asleep/flinched due to its a trainer move, bianca psychic terrain cannot ...a bit improvement

[ashen thunder]

I said noticable

It's pain

Maybe if they increase candy influx

I'd consider rolling her

[tardy fiber]

She can mega, bianca cannot pretty noticeable

[dusty oyster]

I wonder how AnniSteven would work with CBede and SSMorty
Full Good Form stacks before 2nd sync sounds funny

[ashen thunder]

Psure bede is enuff for that

3rd unit is anni Skyla

[tardy fiber]

Probably pair with sssteven, defense form can put a bunch of stat buffs on annisteven for a short time

[dusty oyster]

Sure that's more optimal

Or that, yeah

[tardy fiber]

For cheaper option, the new upgraded sycamore is great

His sync and team beef up help to put a lot of buffs

Kinda happy that you got more birbs fave released also kinda sad that they didn't rerun anniskyla for you

[ashen thunder]

I still regret skipping anni Steven

But like I didn't have enuff to pity him

So just didn't risk it

Both instances

Hopefully he reruns soon

[dusty oyster]

I hope AnniSkyla comes in april, if so being spread out would honestly be better on my gem budget

Also Sycamore is great for Kalos in general
Especially for me, since the only Kalos bird is...
checks notes
Lodge Serena

So I have no limited Kalos pairs, for EBEs 'n stuff

Oh wait duh Lysandre

[tough oriole]

Yveltal isn’t a birb?

Posted that a second too late lmao

[dusty oyster]

But he hasn't been in a select yet

And I don't have the spare gems to go for him this month

[upbeat lotus]

Lysandre was in some selects before

[ashen thunder]

Flying bacon is clearly as birb as it gets

[dusty oyster]

Yeah and he runs often enough that I should be able to pick him up if there's a dry spell where I can save up again

If not in a select

Also, I am very glad now I decided to skip PalElesa

[broken mulch]

God the free champion thing is giving me paralysis

[hasty umbra]

love the chaos in poma-questions

[cursive grotto]

Mood! The worst part is that I know the right choice for me, I just don't want to make it for some reason lol

[peak turret]

Yo, so I want Lance, but IDK if I should go directly for the ticket or get the fundings later, cuz I don't have it RN.

[drowsy saddle]

And what's the argument against the ticket?

[peak turret]

I kinda also want Iris.

That's the only main argument against it.

Lance is top priority, but CIris is close 2nd.

[drowsy saddle]

Well, how many gems do you have? Do you plan to get someone else?

[peak turret]

I tried on Emma, no good so far...
The Galar Trio later I plan on trying for Hop.

2120 gems BTW.

[drowsy saddle]

Are you splitting gems on multiple banners?

Oh, save, just save

Random multi pulling won't lead you anywhere

[peak turret]

I know today's Pokemon Day, so 3000 gems maybe.

[hasty umbra]

you are just throwing gems away

[ashen thunder]

The ticket stays for long time

You can wait till last day of ticket

[peak turret]

So do I just Ticket for Lance?

[ashen thunder]

Instead of using it early

No

Wait till next datamine

If ciris/lance get rate up

You can roll for em

And then pick the other one from ticket

It's also more time to think about it

[hasty umbra]

you do realize there is already a banner up with Lance and Iris with rates up right?

[ashen thunder]

There is?

[hasty umbra]

they have to pick one from ticket and wait for another time to get the other

yes, the 2 banners went live this reset

[tardy fiber]

im happy with my third free pokefair from DeNa

[ashen thunder]

Yea well it still doesn't change what I said

Can just wait till last day of the banners then

[hasty umbra]

what for? it's not likely they'll have enough gems in time, is it?

[ashen thunder]

They'll come up with a decision

To what they would go for

[hasty umbra]

ok, that's fair, just don't consider pulling on gem banners is what I'm saying

[peak turret]

Ok, MAYBE I don't need CIris RN.

[tough oriole]

You don’t need any pair rn

[wicked thistle]

nice round number

||won't last for long tho, Emmet's on the way||

[clever oyster]

26600 gems

[hard wave]

32,705

Wouldve been 32,695 w/o the free 10 gems from the SPS

[dusty oyster]

||For another 24hrs, at least||

[oak crest]

Think this will be my highest gems count for awhile||since I'm pulling on some of the new MFs||(is about 5k more than my previous highest gems count)

[tardy fiber]

Ok done with everything today, only have 115,160 gems

[dusty oyster]

At least you'll escape this month with at least a pity saved

[tardy fiber]

For Alola VA

[dusty oyster]

Hehe true

[sly breach]

Finally got a fairy striker

[dusty oyster]

The only thing I'd maybe get from Alola VA is Tapu Koko

[tardy fiber]

yep it kinda looks like a chicken

[oak crest]

Alola VA might/might not be interesting for me depending on their kit

i dont really like "X unit needing Y unit" to work perfectly

[dusty oyster]

Yep looks kinda like a rooster

[tardy fiber]

Still got 3 more oricorios

[dusty oyster]

I'd love more oricorios!

Also ||now I do have a limited Kalos unit... I was gonna pick up Cynthia for lodge but I got crazy lucky and she just popped up in the 10 scout, so I chose Diantha instead||

[tardy fiber]

I gonna miss kalos csmm

Unova cs is easy

[dusty oyster]

Yeah was a fun challenge

Especially clearing it with only bird pairs

[tardy fiber]

Hope you get more birb

[dusty oyster]

Tho that'll be much easier after next week

[tardy fiber]

If they add hisui, there will be hisuian decidueye

[dusty oyster]

Yeah could round out fighting birbs

Tho I'm very happy already how well C!Hop and Bea work together

[tardy fiber]

Skarmory, Hawlucha, Talonflame...many more cool birbs

Oh you grab hnessa? Eiscue is a birb

[dusty oyster]

VA confirmed that Malva's main/ace is Talonflame, now just need her to get out of NPC hell

Yep I grabbed her from a select

[tardy fiber]

Nice she also can cast hail

[dusty oyster]

Still need Rosanta tho

[tardy fiber]

Good for future articuno

[dusty oyster]

Yep!

[tardy fiber]

Well if its chatelaine Dana this anniv, you better save 1 rainbow ticket

She might come with birb

[dusty oyster]

Yeah, I spent two on the two other chatelains, but I'll be able to get 1 if not 2 more tickets by next anni

[tardy fiber]

Nice, i will be at 9k with March BP...just i not sure if i should save or just give to Mesprit

[dusty oyster]

That is a tough decision

[tardy fiber]

But anniv will be on sept right, pretty sure can form another ticket

[dusty oyster]

True

[broken mulch]

Last time how many BP master units were added?

[tardy fiber]

2

[broken mulch]

Thanks

[tardy fiber]

With 1 free ticket

Just not sure if they will keep giving free ticket, i hope they do

[dusty oyster]

Also, for future birbs, Quaquaval seems like a slam dunk
If it doesn't get treated like Cinderace

[tardy fiber]

There's iron bundle as well

[dusty oyster]

Oh yeah there's a total of 7 new birds introduced with SV

I beat the game using a team of only new birbs

[tardy fiber]

There will be pokemon presents video soon, might add more

[dusty oyster]

True true!

[tardy fiber]

I gonna collect those paradoxes, because kinda bias if i only collect koraidon and miraidon when they are both also paradoxes

[lean mango]

Poison Iron Moth hope

[dusty oyster]

Also still a bunch from Galar,
Corviknight, Cramorant, Arctozolt, and Dracozolt (they're half bird fossil)

[tardy fiber]

Man, im glad that i go through this journey... although there might be a fave that i might missing in the future due to lack of gems or other issues, but seeing my faves collection grows does put a smile on my face

[dusty oyster]

Agreed!

I did end up skipping PalElesa, but am now very glad I did

[tardy fiber]

It was troublesome at start especially when not many support faves to even do csmm, and supports doesn't even have EX...but now it grows to 6 supports EX within 13 support faves

Anniv will add probably 2 more supports bp master units... bump up to 15 support faves

[dusty oyster]

Yeah I'm lucky that birbs make up some of the best supports in the game

SSMorty, SSBrendan, now CBede for starters

[tardy fiber]

Bug collector probably harder in poma, feels like not much bug

[dusty oyster]

That's true lmao

Also something like straight flying would be harder as well

But birbs come in many different elements

[tardy fiber]

Or fossil collector, not much fossils as well but at least 3 kanto fossils have eggmons now

[ashen thunder]

It's ez

It's basically most of unova stuff

[dusty oyster]

Well there's always...uhh...Lodge Dawn?

[tardy fiber]

They also have pheromosa, buzzwole, genesect i guess

Its always nice to see fellow collectors that follow a theme

[dusty oyster]

Masquerain as well

[tardy fiber]

Alder, both bugsy, noland, guzma

[dusty oyster]

Actually Alola has a decent amount

[tardy fiber]

Roxie, burgh

[dusty oyster]

Lana too

[tardy fiber]

Wow quite a lot of em are bugs

Might rival your birbs

We still missing pidgey and doduo eggmons

[dusty oyster]

Could come close, but I think there's definitely more birbs

And half of those are are just bug types anyways

No half of birds are not just flying shut up

[sly breach]

Damn though Diantha got fuel economy because her cs Gardevoir got it not even in grid

[dusty oyster]

Tho 14/16 of the flying type pairs are birbs in my eyes

[lean mango]

I know NY Lance, but what about the other one?

[tardy fiber]

Annisteven probably

He is more of a snake

Reptile collector are happy, dragons are kinda most of em reptiles...except altaria and kingdra

[lean mango]

I like the sneks

[dusty oyster]

They are cool

Not as cool as birbs tho imo

[lean mango]

[tardy fiber]

Go grab your mushroom next month

[dusty oyster]

Oh and that was not counting eggmon either...so 16/18 including them

[lean mango]

Alright 😔

[tardy fiber]

And you said it is a skip month before this

You forgot ball guy

[lean mango]

Technically, I'm going to wait for April 1st

[tardy fiber]

Not grab poison pair 1st day smh

[dusty oyster]

The true date that represents the pair so well

[lean mango]

I WANT GEMS

[tardy jolt]

For some reason I thought that Marnie would be available today

[tardy fiber]

Right, lodge marnie where Cris?

[dusty oyster]

That's a fair assumption

[lean mango]

I would want to get Ball Guy day 1, but I need a skip month after the brutal punch from this month 😭

[ashen thunder]

I spent all my strike candies so I don't have motivation to roll anymore

Hoarding got easier

[lean mango]

Yo samee 🤝

[dusty oyster]

And that's a bad thing...why?

[lean mango]

I swear if they give me another Strike fave I will combust

[dusty oyster]

Hehe

[tardy fiber]

I just heard his voicelines and he is pretty funny

[tardy jolt]

At the moment I’ve 2 tech, 2 support but 0 striker candies

[ashen thunder]

Ball guy is adorable

I am at 0 strike , 0 support, 2 tech candies

[lean mango]

"NOT HOLDING BACK" He says calmly.

[tardy fiber]

Still need to candy these strikers, ssleon 2/5, sshilda 1/5...||and whatever move level nc marnie will be||

[ashen thunder]

I just imagine Gilgamesh inside that costume

And it makes totally sense

[tardy jolt]

I 3/5 Gio last month, but given the fact that I was considering Summer N, it’s a good thing, since Marnie was revealed

[dusty oyster]

Techs have the biggest candy backlog for me, but I'm focusing on new pairs first and foremost

[lean mango]

I saw that someone made the connection of his voice being similar to Jimmy Neutron's Dad and I can't unhear it now

[tardy fiber]

Good choice, new pairs have more up to date kits so it is more likely to help you

[dusty oyster]

Oh no that makes so much sense lmao

Now I can't either

[lean mango]

Spread the word

[ashen thunder]

If ball guy meta incoming

[lean mango]

Clear fog meta

[tardy fiber]

A rare poison support that comes with

[tardy jolt]

I’m holding off some strikers that are old/are minor faves because in general they’re the most replaceable units
Techs, I want to 3/5 SS Cyrus and maybe SS May, but rn they work fine in a more supportive role, and I’m definitely going to 3/5 Marnie, so maybe it’s fine to leave SS Cyrus at 1/5

[lean mango]

The dream

I can't use my Poison pet emote anymore

[ashen thunder]

I still want to 5/5 zekrom and dragonite so I need 6 strike candies

Techs not so much

Unless they expand Lear grid

[lean mango]

Coming next month!

[tardy jolt]

I feel like if you’ve patience, they will come in more free selects in the future

That’s why I’m also not candying old PFs

[dusty oyster]

That makes sense

[tardy jolt]

My Steven is 1/5 since it’s first release lol

[ashen thunder]

Well there's noway I am picking those 2 in selects

[tardy fiber]

Man, i used to think of using free selects for fave dupes over 3/5 but lodge guests appears...well at least it helps me to throw away the idea of 5/5 faves completely...5/5 for 50+ faves will be nauseating

[ashen thunder]

Especially select also happen only 2x a year

[tardy jolt]

I mean free ones like today’s

[ashen thunder]

I am talking abt free ones

Also they will expand its pool to more recent unit

Next select would potentially have train bros, ssleon as well

Since those are the stuff that dropped after Airis

[tardy jolt]

Well yeah, but that means that in 2 years you’d be done if they are 3/5

[tardy jolt]

They are releasing only champion themed selects for free, though

Well, it’s an hypothetical scenario anyway

[ashen thunder]

Last select was different theme

It had Gloria and N

[tardy jolt]

Wasn’t it Victory Road?

So still champion themed, but with units from all the regions and N was in Victory Road instead of Alder

[ashen thunder]

No anime select

It had N, Gloria, alder etc

Victory road is the kantrio

[tardy jolt]

Oh yeah, well depends on how high the priority for 5/5 is and how many selects we see in the future
Personally I’m fine waiting 2+ years considering that at this point except for Diantha and sometimes Cynthia, I never use year 1/1.5 PFs

[ashen thunder]

I already do waiting game in fgo

So I am not doing the same thing in another gacha

But like I wouldn't candy right away from 3/5->4/5
Would just keep em till I get enuff to 5/5 at once

[lament hornet]

30,5k

how reliable is the thought that there's more to this month than what we got

[lunar topaz]

I was able to get one of my most wanted non favs from the champion select without needing to spend gems so I’m very happy

[tardy fiber]

Im happy to get new limited lodge guest without paying any paid or free gems

During Ash release, DeNa helped me to 3/5 Zekrom...and now this

[hard wave]

We have gotten these selects before? Besides the ash one

[lunar topaz]

3K gems!

[fallen path]

Let’s see how much airtime masters gets in presents

[ashen thunder]

I didn't know abt this

Was this already in the datamines?

[lofty relic]

yes

well it's not a datamine

it's just a common occurrence, we always know Presents give 3k

[fallen path]

I think some of them just added the 3k to the amount

[lofty relic]

Tlim had it in his count, Shiro did not for some reason

[ashen thunder]

Well it's a pleasant surprise for me atleast

More gems always welcome

[fallen path]

Yeah shiro didn’t include it

But I assumed it woulda been +3k myself

[lunar topaz]

Oh so 39K this month

Incredible I will ah e 59K at the end of the month

[junior trout]

32k gems after the present

||I can guarantee hop ||

[topaz compass]

Yummy gems

[sly breach]

Wait the present have been given already

Damn i am bored

[tardy fiber]

Woohoo 118k thanks to present

[robust shore]

24k after present :D

||feeling great, i know for certain im getting zapdos 👍||

[round mason]

16k more for pity

[cunning swan]

Thank you pokemon presents gems

[sturdy plank]

i'm so close
||i hope hop will be nice to me||

[sly breach]

Also i thought the showcase was tomorrow

So are we still getting a possibility 6k+ next reset or just about 3k+?

[sturdy plank]

6k gems next reset

[sly breach]

Ok

[tardy fiber]

Only 3k next reset, because pokemon present gems just now is calculated for next reset

Well 3.1k

[upbeat lotus]

How many gems are there before Emma leaves?

[lean mango]

4,750 I think from reading the gem count

O add 6000

[upbeat lotus]

So 6000 total?

[lean mango]

No I accidentally didn't count next reset

So it would be 10,850

[upbeat lotus]

Excluding 3000 gems we just got, so 7,850 gems

Thank you

[tardy fiber]

Good luck

[lean mango]

Wouldn't that be counting up to 13,850? I was counting from the 28th to the 5th from the gem count

I didn't include this day's gem gift

[upbeat lotus]

nice

[spare swift]

Hello everyone

[tardy fiber]

Hi

[spare swift]

Hey Vantner

How are you?

[hard wave]

35,705

[tardy fiber]

Really good, have more than 3 pities now at least

[hard wave]

Should be hitting a pity this reset

[spare swift]

Are you ready to skip this month? 😂

[tardy fiber]

Nah, i got 3 faves

[spare swift]

I know bro, I was just joking

Glad you are well prepared

[tardy fiber]

I just hope that they wont reach pity though

[spare swift]

But.. just think if you will decide to skip this month 😂

[hard wave]

Im hoping to get the pairs on the charming banner and lati banner early so I can maybe go for marnie and/or bede

[tardy fiber]

I will skip if i didn't save much

[hard wave]

But also datamine might be by the time we get the lati banner so I may wait on the birds

[tardy fiber]

But i did save

[lean mango]

Vantner you'll get 1 pity from March for the next month

[spare swift]

I will pray for you

[tardy fiber]

Yep as i have 118k, i think i can form pity with March gems

[spare swift]

Honestly, I dont feel the need for pulling for hop or marnie.. but I adore that galarian articuno design

[lean mango]

A pillow to fall on March will be

[spare swift]

I am just not able to make out the sense of its kit

[tardy fiber]

Gotta prepare for alola VA next

Who's kit?

[spare swift]

Aha, Alola VA

Another reason for me to skip this month

Thanks Vantner

[spare swift]

Champion bede

[tardy fiber]

If bede just tm > buddy move > tm

[hard wave]

What about gauges?

[tardy fiber]

If team with other birbs can even do buddy move first

[spare swift]

Hmm, ig I will pull for it

[tardy fiber]

If 3/5 can grab free entry...also have free entry after use buddy move

[spare swift]

Aha, some nice stuff

[hard wave]

Not sure if I would go for marnie/bede first if I decide to pull on them, I like marnie’s alt but articuno is my fav bird of the 3

[tardy fiber]

After sync all stuff that have mp will recharge so can use buddy move and tm again

[hard wave]

Oh nice, too bad I dont have candies and plan to get 2 other supports this month

[hard wave]

Oh so kind of like kriSS

[tardy fiber]

From his balonlea teachings passive

[hard wave]

Tho I think for her’s its only first sync

[spare swift]

The design is just lit!!

[tardy fiber]

Yep just his passive will trigger even if he is not the one that syncs

[hard wave]

Articuno is the best one, both kanto and galar imo

[hard wave]

Ooo nice

[spare swift]

Nah, for Kanto Zapdos is best

Moltres too is nice

[topaz compass]

I like zapdos best for Kanto, moltres for galar

[spare swift]

But Zapdos best

[deft glen]

Reached 86k today, || I hope Marnie is nice to me tomorrow ||

|| I'll decide on Anni May after next datamine ||

[spare swift]

I will get to know my true gem count at start of march, when I will empty my present box

[tardy fiber]

For CHop, his buddy move doesn't have limit so you can spam it after every 6 sync countdowns

[spare swift]

Which will decide whether I will pity or not

[topaz compass]

They all seem pretty broken with unlimited B Move

[hard wave]

How does the sync countdown thing work? Do u actually need to accelerate it or just have 3 on ur sync

[topaz compass]

Especially because I love long battle formats

[tardy fiber]

If you queue 3 moves when its done already 3 sync countdown...can accelerate if you have head start

[spare swift]

Articuno has only 1 use buddy move

[hard wave]

Wdym

[tardy fiber]

This refills back

[spare swift]

Wait a min.. SS brendan is back!?

And that anni may is with latias, right?

[vale ivy]

Yes

Latis duo banner

[spare swift]

Oh ho, nice

[tardy fiber]

Each birb have reduce 1 sync countdown passive so if use all 3 together can straight use bede buddy move

[hard wave]

Ohhhh

[tardy fiber]

Well head start lucky skill can add 1 more sync countdown

[hard wave]

But they dont have synergy anyway, marnie and hop atleast

[spare swift]

Then screw articuno

Eon duo will be target

[lean mango]

Gem count, the sweet taste of 2nd pity here I come

[tardy fiber]

||time to sacrifice to ball guy, ball guy discord emoji when? ||

[hard wave]

Thats what im doing as well, birds r cool but lati duo, lucas, and red r all pairs ive been wanting

And I have 2/5 raihan from a candy so im hoping to get one more dupe pulling for red and lucas

[lean mango]

||Technically a skip month for me since I'm not pulling him in March , and I'll be right on it||

[topaz compass]

@hard wave if you have only 1 of the 3 and under 3/5. Definitely best value banner ever created lol

[hard wave]

Yup, esp when the other 2 r favs

[tardy fiber]

Iirc he has that step up paid gems pull

[hard wave]

I wanted a 2.5 triple banner but the may and raihan ones we got r much better imo, esp since I actually saved this time

[tardy fiber]

Not sure how much it costs for total

[lean mango]

Step up? like the Seasonals?

[tardy fiber]

Yeah

[hard wave]

The tiered scouts?

[tardy fiber]

Let me try to find at absol

[lean mango]

Wow, that would be useful if I had paid gems

[hard wave]

R the eevee pairs rerunning so we can actually have some “variety”?

[cunning swan]

Doesn't seem like it

[tardy fiber]

Yep 7.5k to guarantee ball guy

[topaz compass]

Not nearly as good for those of us with 3/5 of the non-anni units

[vestal leaf]

In general mixing units from different periods is always a shitty move because chances are there's already a unit most players have

[hard wave]

Tru, but atleast u could get the anni unit and any dupes could prepare u for the 4/5 and 5/5 grids if u arent

[vestal leaf]

I'd preferred a full 2.5 trio banner tbh

[tardy fiber]

Anniskyla existence being deleted

[hard wave]

I wouldnt mind it either since I dont have skyla or may

I feel like we could get it eventually tho

Its not like they’ll never rerun again…. Hopefully

[tardy fiber]

Well good luck, i already have the ones that i wanted...tornadus and latias.. good luck for those trying

[topaz compass]

Yeah I lack raihan but he comes with ones I don't need dupes

[vestal leaf]

I always said we'd get VA themed duo trio fair banners, yet they've always mixed them up

[lean mango]

Time to not buy 7.5k gems

[vestal leaf]

I miss rahian too but there's literally no unit I care about in that scout

Aside a couple ones I already have

[tardy fiber]

I skipped raihan because flygon aint a legendary

[hard wave]

I was new and he was my fav of the 3, glad to be able to get may atleast

[hard wave]

Both VA banners and mixed banners could happen, hopefully

[spare swift]

Well atleast SS brendan is a new addition to the short list of rerunning VA poke fair units

[hard wave]

Tho most VA pairs r yet to rerun

[spare swift]

Aside redlax and dialga

[tardy fiber]

Yep, lucas reran twice and finally ssbrendan in a free gems banner

[spare swift]

Cresselia and Darkrai are still waiting to rerun

[tardy fiber]

Ssdawn, sscyrus, ssmay, sssteven gone

[cunning swan]

They're aware that cresselia and darkrai are too broken to rerun

Dammit

[hard wave]

Aerodactyl as well

He reran once w red I think

[spare swift]

Exactly. What's better is that latios is rerunning with its female counterpart

[tardy fiber]

||more broken now with CMarnie, she causes flinch and sscyrus causes sleep, enemies wont be able to move ||

[spare swift]

Iirc yes, when the event reran for the 2nd time

[hard wave]

Hoping to get both early so I can save and use them w steven to replace bianca and lucian

[hard wave]

I thought this month was the 2nd kanto rerun?

Or r u including release as well

[hasty umbra]

Well, Cyrus already immobilizes them enough, and flinch and sleep cannot coexist

Not that it matters much

[tardy fiber]

Lucas did reran before, in main character banner with red and gloria

[spare swift]

So yes, aerodactyl has deen a rerun

And redlax is going to enjoy its 5th rerun!?

[vale ivy]

Kanto VA rerun again, but now no banner

[spare swift]

The more important pair, redlax, is coming with raihan and lucas

[tardy fiber]

Well if they are immune to sleep over time, they can get flinched at least ...not like it gonna last long with near 800 spatk if 150 CMarnie though

[spare swift]

2 were spotlights

[hasty umbra]

No, I mean sleep overrides flinch, and you are already sleeping them all

It's redundant in normal circumstances

[vale ivy]

Yeah, Marnie doesn't really need flinch

Just kill

[hasty umbra]

Denial by killing, the best type

[tardy fiber]

Im happy that my sole dark fave will finally have a friend

Now waiting for electric, fairy, poison, normal

[spare swift]

Kanto birds in the story after VAs

[tardy fiber]

One of the birb will go to Chatelaine Dana

[spare swift]

The OG legendaries

[tardy fiber]

Hope its either zapdos or articuno

[spare swift]

Which one?

[tardy fiber]

I could use elec/ice teamworks

[spare swift]

Maybe the best trainer get zapdos

It's just too precious birb

[tardy fiber]

She uses all 3 kanto birbs in the game also 3 regis

[spare swift]

Then let her take articuno

I dont think so she will get moltres, because fire teamwork has been taken by another chatelaine sister

[tardy fiber]

Flying teamwork

[spare swift]

Also, support zapdos will feel a bit weird, when in games it's highly offensive

[hard wave]

Regieleki/gigas, nihilego/iron moth, but who for fairy?

[tardy fiber]

Magearna, enamorus, scream tail, iron valiant

[hasty umbra]

Flutter Mane

[tardy fiber]

Oh i keep on forgetting it

[hasty umbra]

But why are you counting paradox as legendary? They aren't

[tardy fiber]

Well i collect legendaries, mythicals, UBs, paradox

[hasty umbra]

I see

[tardy fiber]

Also koraidon and miraidon are paradoxes

I cannot bias

[hasty umbra]

I need a Roaring Moon in my life

[cunning swan]

Scream tail pls

[tardy fiber]

I need ||walking wake ||

[cunning swan]

With the jigglypunk song key

[spare swift]

Aren't paradoxes similar in design to some regular pokemons?

Like of donphan, jigglypuff, etc

[hasty umbra]

They are past or future versions of them

[spare swift]

Ou

[hasty umbra]

Future are fairly uninspired tho

Scarlet's Paradox are vastly superior imo

Names alone are much more interesting

[tardy fiber]

Yep koraidon paradox name is neat, Winged King... Miraidon is just Iron Serpent

Everything have iron

[reef river]

||Turo was not very creative with names||

[hasty umbra]

Even the shinies are hella boring

[tardy fiber]

With dlc part 2 coming in winter, we ain't gonna see paldea till next year i guess

Hisui where DeNa?

[vernal glade]

Hoopa job to do that

[cunning swan]

this is the first time I heard about the legendaries' paradox names

[west moat]

To each their own I like the Violet paradoxes (my fav being iron valiant) but I agree the names could be better

But my theory is that these future Pokémon are now man made creations of now extinct Pokémon

Because the future must be pretty bleak and lifeless of everything is made of iron and steel

[cunning swan]

I understand they're probably going for that concept, but man, the future could have so many different elements, not just chrome

[sturdy flower]

the suicurex tho

[shell glade]

I'm pretty sure the paradoxed were implied to be the creation of a legendary pokemon ingame

Tho I guess we know thedesigns for them now

[sturdy flower]

I don't think we are unveiling that mystery anytime soon... first dlc seems to be disconnected

can't wait for dlc characters in 2029

just like how we don't even have Galar ones yet

[shell glade]

I like the disk one

expected an egg but I like this design too

[west moat]

I was really hoping we would see kalos just a bit maybe there’s hope

[sturdy flower]

if there's more dlcs perhaps

instead we are visiting Japan

[west moat]

I actually hold out hope since the professors be non existent we get to see the other professors possibly sycamore?

[runic iris]

i will never stop 🥲

[vernal glade]

Same. Saving is our goal

[west moat]

The start of saving as already begun for me when bede comes I’ll try getting him

[reef river]

82k today

I dont think ive ever been higher than 80k before. ||probably wont last long sadly but||

[lean mango]

I think I have hit another dilemma

||I realize that this is considered a skip month for me, and Marnie lasts till the 24th, that means I can get Marnie but I fear of what might happen if I do or do not get her in this very rare chance||

[hasty umbra]

if you don't basically nothing changes?

don't see the issue with that route

[lean mango]

Pain is what happens 😔

[hasty umbra]

tbf since she is a lodge pair, the monthly banner is bound to feature her from time to time

[lean mango]

ik, but the last time she appeared in the lodge banner a fav appeared during the same month, which makes me concerned the next time she runs it might happen again

[sturdy flower]

but you will have the gems you would otherwise spend now

[lean mango]

Ig, but there's the feeling of getting it over with now

[topaz compass]

Marnie/Morpeko is a prime candidate to be grouped in triples or free selects in future

Pretty much none of the lodge pairs are worth a solo banner unless your absolute favorite trainer/pokemon combo imo

[sturdy flower]

she already was grouped in some triples before too

just ||get the Moltres one in the meantime||

[lapis pine]

Just a reminder for everyone tempted by marnie, her kit is boring striker mode and you WILL have less fun using her than other units

[hasty umbra]

yeah, that's kinda the logic I have in mind with the usual question of who to pick between units

[feral vale]

With Ash and Red, they are favs, so ofc I got them

Marnie I do not care, even if she is strong.

[hasty umbra]

and besides me not liking Marnie much, being just your usual strong striker doesn't really spark much interest

Bede and Hop are a different story, but that's my personal view and preferences talking of course

[lapis pine]

Honestly I think I’d always prefer to use base marnie dark dps because it’s more fun imo

[lean mango]

Are their rates any different if in a group or solo?

Never really checked

[sturdy flower]

lodge banner is 2%

triple is 1.5%

[lean mango]

Lodge and pokefair banners have the same rate right?

[sturdy flower]

regular, yes

but lodge has pokefair units in the pool as a bonus

[sly breach]

Would like it if they reduced pity on lodge banners

[feral vale]

Idk that feels weird

[sly breach]

I mean most units there are at least 2 year old

[vestal leaf]

Pity being fixed is core part of economy management

[sturdy flower]

if they move pity down i could see them move pity up on some weird banners

so i'd rather not

[tough oriole]

Maybe for something like super seasonal scouts it’d make sense, but idt it’d happen for lodge banners

[sturdy flower]

super seasonals need better rates if they are supposed to be "super"

[tough oriole]

If lodge banners have lower pities, you’d never pull them outside of the lodge banner

[sturdy flower]

i just hope they keep giving us free pokefair tickets for older ones periodically

so far we had 2 in the last 12 months

[lean mango]

Tbh the only unit I can name that Ig I want is N and that's about it

[sturdy flower]

i mean, i won't turn down the chance for more lodge units

but that's me ig

i actively avoid old PF outside of triple banners personally

and consider these a "reward" if i didn't really like any units for a long time

[lean mango]

I would rather have the best rate so I can at least have a chance of not spending as much gems as I can

[tardy fiber]

I just gonna use the free select given by dena for lodge guest, well there's some of my faves is in it like Gloria and N but i will prioritize limited lodge guests over 5/5 grids

That said, i cannot wait for 2/5 gloria grids...her damage is already not that bad before and giving her extra cs2 is very nice

[brave orbit]

considering doing a yolo pull when i don't intend to get to pity on the unit and am currently at 37K gems
I didn't like anyone in the datamine so far so I will not be pulling on anyone from this datamine and will be saving all of those gems
is this a bad idea?

is that never a good idea?

[reef river]

Its only a good idea when it works which is like less than 10% of the time. Dont do it

[brave orbit]

i guess that's fair

[reef river]

3 things could happen: 1, you actually get lucky. 2, you waste 3000 gems. Or 3, you get the urge to keep pulling; in for a penny, in for a pound, and you spend untold amounts of gems until you get your "yolo" unit

[brave orbit]

yeah the third is the scariest for sure

[reef river]

3 has happened to me plenty of times. Ill be honest, sometimes those "yolo" pulls turn into "i guess i am committing my gems this month to a unit after all"

Its not the smartest way to go about it

[brave orbit]

i saved till pity to wait till datamine and either use it on a datamine unit, use it on Emma (who is one of my fave characters), or save it for Summer N rerun eventually

didn't like datamine so I planned to pull till pity on Emma and got really lucky and got 2 of her in the third pull

now i'm at 38K after that and considering pulling on Diantha (who I foolishly yolo'd on twice already the day her scout dropped in the last datamine)

i don't care for diantha as a character really at all but i really love mega diancie (hence why i pulled till pity on the Special Costume rerun to get Hilda and Diancie)

and so I like the idea of having both but not sure if the novelty is worth pulling till pity

[reef river]

My advice, if you truly want to skip everything this month ||ss diantha is a solid pick given your circumstances. As long as you are truly ok with not pulling anything this month||

[brave orbit]

appreciate that

i'm just worried there'll be like a second midmonth datamine

and THAT will have something i want

but yeah i'm definitely going to skip everything we've seen so far

[cunning swan]

every new unit's banner in March will last until April

you have time to decide

[nocturne spade]

Was the 3k gems today included in the gem count?

[tardy fiber]

Well it says pokemon day 2023

And the mail said the 3k gems we just got is pokemon day present

So i think next reset will just be 3100 gems for those that already claimed from the mail

[hasty umbra]

not sure why they put it on the 28th but yeah, those are the same 3k

[nocturne spade]

Must be error then

[tardy fiber]

Probably because not directly get after reset...had to watch video that late at night in some parts of the world to only get 3k

Not directly get on 27th reset

[crisp wraith]

Wait so are we only begging 3k

Getting

[tardy fiber]

I think so yep, because we already get 3k from presents video

Well 3100

[hasty umbra]

only, like that was a bad thing

the one thing we might get but it's soon to tell is a rally, but we'll see

[tardy fiber]

Its just we getting few hours earlier

[crisp wraith]

Yeah that was weird we got it early

[tardy fiber]

Total is still the same 34280

[lean mango]

6000 next reset right?

[hasty umbra]

no

[lean mango]

wait-

[hasty umbra]

they included the 3k from today there

[timber wren]

3100

[tardy fiber]

Well not early at my country, the video was about 10.30 pm

[lean mango]

The Gem count is confusing me rn

[tardy fiber]

The 28th reset gem count includes 3k from pokemon presents

[rancid vale]

so tomorrow ill already be a third of the way to pity

[tardy fiber]

Because the gems from present doesn't happen directly in 27th reset, its after presents video presentation

[crisp wraith]

Lmao so lost rn

[tardy fiber]

So Tlim just carry it to 28th reset gem count

We already got it

Well not get it if you haven't claim in mail

[lean mango]

So today we got 6100?

[tardy fiber]

No only 3100

[cunning swan]

if you've already claimed the 3k gems from presents, then no

you get 3100

[crisp wraith]

Okay so I still get more gems tomorrow tho

[lean mango]

Oh

[crisp wraith]

I just got 3k

Now I get 3.1k tomorrow?

Or at reset

[tardy fiber]

At reset 3.1k

[lean mango]

Ok then that meant I misinformed someone earlier

[tardy fiber]

Well if no timegated gems

[crisp wraith]

Timegated gems?

[tardy fiber]

Yep like some gems that can only get on third day like in bingo, or gems that need 50 event runs that you might not clear today

[crisp wraith]

Ahh

[hasty umbra]

yeah, it's likely you won't complete all missions right away

that just lists the total

[crisp wraith]

Only mission left for me for gems is galar battle

[tardy fiber]

I probably cannot clear all missions..daily kalos VA battle for kalos ticket already eat 60 stamina

[lean mango]

Ok so it's 7850 to March 5th?

[crisp wraith]

When u say clear, just beat them, or get all rewards from them

[hasty umbra]

they mean those missions asking you to battle 10/20/30 times and so on

[crisp wraith]

Ah yeah

[hasty umbra]

those you complete naturally by just farming vouchers for the shop

[tardy fiber]

Ain't it like near 10k gems? 6100 on 28th is the same because its just like you clear 3k of it on 27th reset...so 6100+1650+1900+200+800+200 if based on pins

[lean mango]

I was telling Gakon the amount of gems till Emma and I'm unclear what the actual amount of gems are left actually

[tardy fiber]

Cannot use / banners command at bot zone

[rancid vale]

ok wait so is tomorrow 3k

[tardy fiber]

Iirc it shows remaining gems

[rancid vale]

i am confusion

[tardy fiber]

6100 if you haven't claim 3k gems from mail

3100 if you already claimed

[rancid vale]

oh ok

[tardy fiber]

I claimed it right after it was announced in video yesterday, i scared DeNa take it back

[lean mango]

Emma doesn't appear in the /banners command?

[tardy fiber]

Really? Well some stuffs did missing from the bot, Marnie even was missing before

[hasty umbra]

well, Lysandre ends the same date so you can see gems until then that way I guess

[lean mango]

I just wanna know if I was wrong 😭

[tardy fiber]

Yep #1012256199128915968 still shows emma banner duration

Iirc if it states 6th March, you gonna get her by 5th march as she will be gone in 6th march reset

[lean mango]

Man the dates confuse me sometimes

[rancid vale]

i cant tell if your pfp is actually geeta or violet and geeta mashed together in some cursed way 💀

[lean mango]

@upbeat lotus Uh sorry if this ping bothers but you were right it is 7950

[hasty umbra]

who's Violet?

[rancid vale]

from the incredibles

[hasty umbra]

ah

[lean mango]

Geeta

[rancid vale]

thats some dogshit lighting jesus 💀

[lean mango]

I found it somewhere

[upbeat lotus]

Its okay

I just calculated the right gem count

[lean mango]

[tardy fiber]

It doesn't change much if before 27th reset only 400 gems and 28th reset are 6100 gems.

If you claimed the gems from the mail, it will be 27th reset 3400 gems and 28th reset are 3100 gems...simple

[hard wave]

R the 3k gems + 30x scout tickets included in the gem count or

[tardy fiber]

Oh the retweet rally from the video might be new

Lets retweet

But not sure where's the twitter post that we should retweet

[vale ivy]

3k, nice

[hasty umbra]

yes, this is a different thing

so extra 3k not accounted for I suppose

[tardy fiber]

Yep this one is new, it is announced with the video about 20 minutes back

Just the tweet that we should retweet havent appear yet

But only have till 3rd march to retweet it

[vale ivy]

I think it's coming

They said "incoming"

[tardy fiber]

The video have its disclaimer the rally will run until march 3

Not much time to retweet

[rancid vale]

they count jp though

so we should be getting them regardless

[hasty umbra]

those rallies get done in a day all the time

[tardy fiber]

Hopefully, last time its kinda a close call

Well i will always gonna do my part by retweeting

Although i can only help for 2 counts, 1 for ENG and 1 for JP post

[sweet tide]

It will come up later at reset

Anw its not included in the gc so total gc is 37280 if this RT rally is added

[tardy fiber]

Glad you appear Tlim

I keep explaining next reset aint 6.1k

If they already claimed the mail

[sweet tide]

Ppl cant read the breakdown can they

🥱

Its only for accounting purposes that the 3k is added in 28, since we dont get it at reset

Its just to standardize the accounting treatment of the pokemon present gems

[tardy fiber]

Yes i was right

Because didn't get at reset so you brought to 28

[sweet tide]

Yes that’s right

Its stated clearly its pokemon day gems

Why is there a confusion still

[rancid vale]

because we’re dumb

[sweet tide]

I shld put a double count next yr lol

With 2 daily gem counts

[tardy fiber]

Or remove present gems, and let it be a surprise like twitter rally for next year

They won't be confused if it doesn't exist in calcs

[sweet tide]

Lmao

The same ppl who r confused rn

Are the same ppl who DMed me

Asking me why it isnt in calcs last yr

(just joking)

[tardy fiber]

[sweet tide]

But i’ll put a disclaimer next yr in red

In the breakdowns
