Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[vernal glade]

Datamine is possibly as early as 27th because master day begins on a Saturday meaning no datamine in the weekend.

However that can change, we can either get an early datamine before master day, or will have to wait for the 27th

[vale ivy]

Should be 27th, because event can start on 29th

[cunning swan]

||imagine living in a country where it snows||

[winged fossil]

just added some possible trainers to my wishlist for if new pairs drop altho these are lower on my rankings than the other 3...

mainly hoping for Gladion + Lycanroc in the VA if he gets a Sygna

cause his lycanroc was fucking badass in the anime

[sly breach]

Colress necrozma alolan MF

[winged fossil]

that reminds me, we have confirmation Lunala isnt her Nebby, WHERE THE FUCK IS NEBBY RIGHT NOW DENA

I DEMAND ANSWERS IN THE VA DAMNIT

[tardy fiber]

Lillie said she gave her Nebby to her friend so maybe it's at Selene/Elio

[compact pasture]

Would it have fused?

[tardy fiber]

Not sure, luSSamine's fused necrozma came to Pasio fused so it fused with another Solgaleo

[violet nebula]

This

As hoopa pulls from multiple dimensions

But hey DeNa don't want to hire good writers. Could of used that to bring AZ, Team Rainbow, the Ghetsis where he "wins" etc

[compact pasture]

The writers are bad?

[violet nebula]

There waifu to focus on😆

They had a chance to do something pretty good with Kalos and Unova VA🤷‍♂️

[tardy fiber]

The VA story kinda good just i feel a bit lacking in Kalos VA, Kalos VA feels just like a prelude to Alola VA instead...it should feels like a Kalos-centric stuff.

Other stories are not bad, even Unova VA is related to Unova stuffs like Ghetsis trying to fuse with N's dragons. But Kalos VA is just, team flare stirring up trouble...then found Lysandre and he said I didn't do it, then we know its Team Rocket stealing data to open Ultra Wormhole...ultra wormhole is Alola VA related

So kalos stuff gets overshadowed

[violet nebula]

It does 😞

[vestal leaf]

Inb4 they don't stop to unoVA2 and do Kalos VA 2 with AZ

[tardy fiber]

I am excited for that, i think i gonna pull if AZ eternal floette released

Well it kinda a mythical

[feral vale]

Y’all, every VA story is literally “Team Rocket: It was me all along!”

[chrome nest]

“It was team rocket all along”

[sonic cobalt]

“You thought it was the gen’s villains, but it was I, Gio!”

[sturdy flower]

and USUM had Rainbow Rocket

and our Gio is the rainbow rocket one

he just lost access to that tech after getting Hoopa'd

[feral vale]

I never finished USUM

[sly breach]

Since we got RR Giovanni, Think we would get classic maxie and Archie

[wind nymph]

Hi guys on this anniversary I used all gems should i save gems till the 4th anniversary isn't it a good idea??

[feral vale]

You should save if you do not have a pity. That’s what this thread is for.

Save your resources for a future fav.

[wind nymph]

Skipping all pairs till anniversary is good idea??

[feral vale]

If that’s what you want. We don’t know what next anni will bring however.

[wind nymph]

I currently have 4k only gems as anniversary gives good awesome pairs, so waiting for them makes sense??

[vestal leaf]

Skip units you don't care about

Go for units you like

There's no meta in saving

[drowsy saddle]

And don't pull without a pity (36.6k).
We get 25k+ monthly.

[lean mango]

at least 2 months and you're good with a pity

[feral vale]

Yee if you do not have a pity, save, regardless who or what you’re waiting for.

Does not take long.

[wind nymph]

If i save till anniversary I might be able to save 140k gems, so if they release awesome pairs I might be able to get 3 to 4 banners

[vestal leaf]

Or they could drop nothing that interests you

It's not guaranteed

[wind nymph]

Damn its an gambling kind of thing's

[vestal leaf]

It's a gacha

You pull for what you like

Not for Anni, not for meta

Especially in PoMa

[lean mango]

Ye just skip if it doesn't interest you

[vestal leaf]

Just pull for units you care aboutv

Either trainer

Or mon

[cunning swan]

anniversary might drop hype units but if they're of no interest to you, feel free to skip them

[wind nymph]

Ok guys thank you for suggestions i will do as u guys suggest fav first🥇

[cunning swan]

like this anniversary for example. I feel sorry for galar haters

but also I feel sorry for galar fans who have to deal with a full galar month

[lean mango]

Both 3 and 3.5 anni were a bit of a disappointment for me

[vestal leaf]

Or last Anni where it was 3 shilled units with 3 dupes

[wind nymph]

Really both anni came up with broken units

[cunning swan]

anniversary tends to come with master fairs, the rarest kind of unit in the game due to their 1% featured rate and master passive

[vestal leaf]

Anni 2 was the best imo

[cunning swan]

broken? usually. but not always

[vestal leaf]

^

[wind nymph]

I missed 3rd anniversary😭

[cunning swan]

we don't recommend pulling for broken units here. dena drops them practically every month

make a favorite list and stick to it

[vestal leaf]

Third Anni was very bad imo

The events were extremely lame

And units even moreso

[lean mango]

I don't understand how meta works so I don't really understand what broken units are

[cunning swan]

3rd anni was lame in terms of pokemon and I only like it because I'm a big fan of Red

[vestal leaf]

We get a new best striker every 2-3 months lol

At longest

[cunning swan]

remember ss lysandre was the 2nd best DPS unit for a total of... one month. then cmarnie came

[vestal leaf]

Exactly

No reason to pull for numbers

[wind nymph]

So saving and pulling for fav 😍 is this game about

?

[vestal leaf]

Because after all

[lean mango]

Saving for what makes you happy

[cunning swan]

basically you'll hear people saying "this unit is one of the best units in the game" every new update lol

[vestal leaf]

Faves can outright destroy the hardest content anyway (no SE^ and no zone)

[hasty umbra]

favorites, cool/fun kits, fashion or whatever criteria you want to set for yourself

[feral vale]

That one was my fav Anni ^^;;

[cunning swan]

2nd anni was still my favorite. their outfits are top notch

[feral vale]

But yeah, most important thing is having a pity.

[lean mango]

I define something as worth, is that you can just never use it and still be really happy to have the unit in your roster

[vestal leaf]

Those events were terrible tbh

Wrong quote rip

Third Anni events had barely anything to add on what we already knew/saw

The ash event straight up dropped in June? Iirc

[wind nymph]

Damn i fall in trap then i only like dialga but due to hype as i pulled all pairs and used all my 100k gems

[vestal leaf]

Before he was even in the game

[wind nymph]

Now i understand what to do what not

[cunning swan]

I still can't forgive dena for that ash vs red tease that they never did

[vestal leaf]

Yea

[cunning swan]

can we please settle the dispute of who's stronger already

[vestal leaf]

Insane

[lean mango]

SSA Cynthia as a whole was unnecessary

[vestal leaf]

"oops, here's some Cynthia shilling instead"

[hasty umbra]

meh, good they didn't to be honest, let's not mix them, pls and thank you

[feral vale]

That’s the one part I hate.

[vestal leaf]

Cynthia was there just because they didn't know who to put as third cashgrab unit

[feral vale]

~~Just replace it with my character, she’d work just as fine ~~

[vestal leaf]

So they went with the easy answer

[lean mango]

With a Lucario

[feral vale]

Hey they needed a better Lucario unit

[wind nymph]

Lets save till fav comes hope my queen serena and Zygarde gonna come in this 4 anni

[lean mango]

But it was a cashgrab alongside a cashgrab

[feral vale]

I’m not expecting them directly for 4th anni, but sure ig

[cunning swan]

they really made sure ash only interacted with Pasio-exclusive characters lol

and even the MCs who showed up in his event are from regions whose main characters didn't show up in the anime as Ash's companion

[sturdy flower]

but best DPS is still Ash

[feral vale]

YEAH—

[cunning swan]

and I understand they don't want to take that risk. but come on. That Ash vs Red tease was something the fandom has been screaming about for years and I just want the war to end

[wind nymph]

Yeah ash boi

[cunning swan]

this. it was so clear: ash as the anime representation, red as the game representation, and cynthia the waifu

why not bring yellow from the manga and make her the third pikachu MF huh? might as well

[lean mango]

I would've hated that, I don't really want any more rats in this game

[feral vale]

But

Rats

[cunning swan]

Oops! All rats

[lean mango]

Always liked Raichu more and they have never given him justice and I spite that

[wind nymph]

I just want dena should add ritchie & pikachu as pair in this game

[lean mango]

Who's Ritchie?

[feral vale]

I don’t think anyone would care about him…

[sturdy flower]

is this one of these ligma jokes

[wind nymph]

Damn pokemon fans didnt know who is ritchie

[feral vale]

Anime character with Pikachu.

[lean mango]

Oh, Pikachu

[feral vale]

Bruh I know

[sturdy flower]

oh, he even appeared in journeys

missed that

[lean mango]

tbf I haven't watched anything from the anime in a long time

Only time I came back was for the one Lisia episode

[feral vale]

I haven’t watched any since XY

[wind nymph]

U missed so much

[feral vale]

Or after XY, for that matter

[lean mango]

Gotta support the star

[hasty umbra]

I remember hating Ritchie with such pasion

[feral vale]

Tbh, fair.

[hasty umbra]

but yeah, he is a very obscure character, and from the anime no less

little to no chance to make it

[lean mango]

Anime completely screwed Eusine in multiple ways than one so no forgiving for that

[cunning swan]

Wasn't he... The one Ash lost to in indigo league?

[hasty umbra]

I think? but that wasn't the reason I didn't like him

he was just obnoxious AF

[cunning swan]

[hasty umbra]

and I thought naming his Pikachu Sparky was incredibly dumb lol

[wind nymph]

Yes he is but he is a good character but due to anime did not promoted him property, so everyone has forgotten him

[hard wave]

VAs = Rainbow Rocket 2 Pasio Boogaloo

[reef river]

The twist of the villain arc finale will be ||it was Rose all along using Giovanni||

[sturdy flower]

please, there are limits to fanfics

[vernal glade]

On the road to July

[hard wave]

Its actually || giovanni using archie/maxie who were using lysandre who were using ghetsis who was using cyrus who was using rose who was using lusamine who was using giovanni who was being used by guzma ||

[sturdy flower]

It was all ||Pablo|| all along

[topaz compass]

Clearly hiding evil schemes

[fallen path]

did not expect a backyard sports reference in here

[crisp oracle]

He was the best for two weeks before CMarnie got datamined

Not even a month lmao

[tough oriole]

||He was never the best, unless you just meant aoe burst ||

[hasty umbra]

I mean, yes, Ash is at the top in part to his one use bmove

so no reason to ignore it for Lysandre just cause

[tardy fiber]

Oh nice, this reset 3* poison gear event is weak to psychic

[lean mango]

Still using Emma : 💪

[vernal glade]

And it’s a quick one also so very fast farming.

[rustic heron]

time to say "it's necrozing time" and necrozma all over the enemies

[tardy fiber]

I gonna use the space alien virus pair instead

[tough oriole]

Time to say “it’s musharning time” and psychic terrain all over the field

Hopefully no one brings sst red

[hasty umbra]

someone will, kind of a given, as long as they don't do it just to troll...

[tough oriole]

I was always that person who brought sst red to gear events
||Dw, I would only set e terrain if it wouldn’t hurt my allies. For the grass gear event i also brought ss lyra ||

[tawny dagger]

I will bring SS Lyra

[cunning swan]

Oh people will definitely bring sst red out of laziness

[tawny dagger]

And noone can stop me

[hasty umbra]

the petty thing I do in co-op is back out if I see a CMarnie user lol

[cunning swan]

Sst red users during the grass gear event

[tough oriole]

Oh i’m gonna use bianca’s psy terrain hit & heal then

[hasty umbra]

now you are talking, constantly heal that edgy bird

[slow hare]

Idk how y'all can do anything other than just auto mode-ing it

[tardy fiber]

I just press tm once and then spam attack move

Many events this reset

Ball guy event, 3* poison gear, Ball guy eggmon event

[fallen path]

I have time that’s why I don’t auto lol

[hasty umbra]

I refuse to use auto for anything

[feral vale]

Same

[tough oriole]

Why would I auto, its not like I’ll be able to do other stuff without getting distracted by the game, especially since every minute you need to manually press the play again button

[fallen path]

the only thing i've auto in this game is LG farming

[tardy fiber]

I auto villa co-op

[vernal glade]

Imagine there’s a setting for auto battle again.

That would be fantastic

[rustic heron]

you underestimate how much less effort it takes

[tough oriole]

You underestimate how easily i get distracted
If my phone/tablet screen is on and next to me, I’m not getting work done, so might as well manually clear it

Besides, i like to bring terrain and then switch to a strike; auto doesn’t do that

Also this is very much related to resource saving, since it’s talking about resource grinding strategies

[cunning swan]

amazing

[chrome nest]

I have stopped watching a lot of poma videos made by YouTubers aside for the official channel because most of the time it’s just flexing new units

[hard wave]

Bogo 4 my beloved

Gauge in co op is so slow which is why I like using vilda but I may just use ss steven this time

That reminds me I did not do villa co op today

[tawny cedar]

Welp time to play this game agaib

I gotta start saving up gems for slyra

[tardy fiber]

Lyrapuff?

[tawny cedar]

Yep

Im missing quite a few johto

I'm missing 2 variety and 5 seasonal

[cunning swan]

guess what, my first co-op battle and I got a CMarnie user

so of course I brought Bianca gridded with hit and heal

[compact pasture]

Wait, there’s a Bingo? Is it included in the gem count?

[upbeat lotus]

i think yes

[hasty umbra]

guess what also, I've seen like 3 Reds already

[winged fossil]

yep its there in the gem count tallies thing in pins

i think main thing not in it is the rally, which we get rewards for on the 30th=>31st apparently

sadly gemwise its smaller at 500 gems

[winged fossil]

what you guys got against cmarnie in coop btw? just curious

[cunning swan]

baseless pettiness basically

not as much as I hate sst red users if the stage isn't electric-weak though

the auto makes it use max move on 2nd turn if the red is 3/5 and it automatically sets electric terrain

[tardy jolt]

I mean, SS Steven is the best pair for the battle in terms of dps, no? You clear in two turns

At least I’m done with the co-op, so I don’t have to worry too much about it, and it wasn’t as bad as the grass gear terrain wars

[cunning swan]

tell me about it. I had to wage a lot of terrain wars with the rat users

[oak crest]

I did that when enemies were grass weak and I'm using celebi

[topaz compass]

Dirty rats

1 week or less to datamine !

[tardy jolt]

This month has been so slow for me due to waiting for admissions to graduate programs, hope that now that the cycle is over I’ll get to enjoy the game and the upcoming datamine a bit more, lol

[tardy fiber]

Done with poison gear, now I just have to finish up the ball guy event and wait for datamine

[topaz compass]

Will we earn enough of those special ball guy tickets to get every item in his hideout?

[upbeat lotus]

yes

[vernal glade]

I did heard that it’s rng so perhaps it’s possible to not get them with all the sticker?

[reef river]

No i just got all of them myself

I had 11 stickers and there were 10 items

So i even have one left over

[vestal leaf]

Yeah there's more than enough

[vernal glade]

Ah I see.

[topaz compass]

What how do you get extra stickers

Oh I forgot to look.at the exchange

[vernal glade]

Ya. I think I’m gonna start saving then use them all on the stickers.

[topaz compass]

Well the Bingo missions actually require you to get all the balls from hideout for the candy coins so yeah make them priority

[sturdy flower]

that's me

because steven goes def form on auto

[glass abyss]

||Saving I am, passing on Ball Guy I also am. Anime also a pass, although sadly one.||

[sturdy flower]

SST Red actually does really well there

[sly breach]

||Not about to attempt getting shaft on ball guy too||

[feral vale]

I don’t care for him at all

[glass abyss]

F

Put some respect on the name of himbos out here

[grim plover]

i have to save until datamine. The datamine week is the most difficult. ||if it's a boring month i could pull for ball guy||

[vernal glade]

||Saving until Zeraora arrives, then save for Summer Hilda in July to complete Summer N and Summer Hilda event collection, then saving for the next fave.||

[lunar topaz]

So many gems

[fallen path]

[tough oriole]

Ooh richu you got helper

[lunar topaz]

Indeed I did!

Whale with 0 paid gems….

[tough oriole]

I would have no clue odinson was here if not for the squinting

[hasty umbra]

I lurk in some places most of the time

[tardy fiber]

Richu becomes Rich Pichu again

If low gems, gonna call Richu

[feral vale]

You know, this is a good time since I’m hella overdue

Goal reevaluation time! How’s y’all’s gem count and your goals going?

I am still slacking off af on Villa, but I got 80k rn!

[sturdy flower]

"I won't spend a single gem till datamine" <- keeping that up

[feral vale]

What’s the number?

[tardy fiber]

66,110 gems there are some not yet obtained from missions and bingo... although i will spend 125 gems later on poma day

[sturdy flower]

119k

i didn't get bingo yet, usually do it when i can clear it all at once (so need that luxury ball from eggs)

[tardy fiber]

The ball at the hideout is also troublesome

[sturdy flower]

that requires up to 5 days right

i got 2 balls there, not sure how many there are

[feral vale]

You get 10 from shop and I think there’s 10 from hideout. I’m afraid I forgot to count the exact number

[tardy fiber]

10 from shop, 3 from logins

[sturdy flower]

i got other items at hideout too

[tardy fiber]

But each time i visit the hideout they replaced the one that i chose before

So maybe the rewards are preset

[sturdy flower]

i noticed the number of them is getting lower

[feral vale]

Yeah I was thinking the hideout balls number

Mine got lower too tho

[sturdy flower]

what did you get the first time Vantner

[tardy fiber]

Tech candy coin i think

[sturdy flower]

then it's not preset

[lunar topaz]

Wait

[sturdy flower]

they probably just move around everytime you enter

[tardy fiber]

I see, wow thats good to know then...so my entry this reset, i will just check the remaining balls and just grab the sticker enough for all of it

I want to claim first to finish 5* my lodge cynthia

[sturdy flower]

i assume there are as many balls as there are stickers total

[tardy fiber]

Iirc if we enter hideout after claiming all items, ball guy will only give big pearl

[sturdy flower]

so we get 3 from login then buy 7

[tardy fiber]

Yep i gonna stop after i buy 7

And claim other stuffs first

Because even if i forgot, missing big pearl aint end of the world...i keep getting it from trainer lodge rare encounter

[tough oriole]

Better hope datamine is before poma day

[sturdy flower]

...wait a second

[vernal glade]

I actually hope so too before masters day, this month sure gone fast.

Because if we get datamine before masters day, ||If there’s an electric typing on the last week of April for CS, I can decide to aim for someone in April, or wait what the electric type unit is in May.||

[tough oriole]

That’s an oddly specific hope

[hasty umbra]

we are not getting datamine early, the recent ones were special cases, and latest one more specifically because it was February + half anniversary

[vernal glade]

Maybe you’re right.

I guess will have to wait on the 27th.

[tardy fiber]

I gonna still pull poma day multis...still 0/5 melony, shauna

[hasty umbra]

I don't see why you wouldn't, 25 gems is nothing for the regular one

it's not the same as wasting 3k on yolo multis

[tardy fiber]

Oh colress as well 0/5

[crisp oracle]

Sent 22K down the drain for Lucas but I couldn’t be happier

Now I’m back at a pity for whatever’s next!

[turbid sapphire]

126k now, want 4 pities at some point but i have a feeling a fav is coming back next month

[broken mulch]

I’ve got the opposite feeling, like another skip month is incoming for me haha

Hopefully it’s true

[tardy fiber]

I just got 3 faves so if next month is a skip month is also greatly appreciated but if there's fave, i hope it will be only one...also it won't be alola VA next month i think, as April will have Paulo interlude continuation instead

[feral vale]

[crisp oracle]

Kids staler than bread

Bro’s THE ARCHETYPE for the bald redemption arc

[tardy fiber]

Also scary if its SC instead

5/9 SC being faves are not a great omen well its good, but not good for gems

[hard wave]

Same

[vernal glade]

If next month have no faves, then that’s 5 months in a row of saving.

So far I’m doing way better than last year.

And it’s all thanks to this channel.

[summer goblet]

are you on the path to 500k gems

[vernal glade]

Well.. THAT was my original plan.

But I decided to aim for 300k instead

[placid token]

195

[tardy fiber]

Oh neat

We got 500 gems from the ball guy challenge

We reached 1k posts, well jp poma twitter posted it...english poma twitter not yet posted about it

[vernal glade]

Excellent.

[compact pasture]

[tardy fiber]

Managed to clear Bingo this reset...67,160

5920 gems left from this datamine, maybe i can form second pity

[cunning swan]

146k! Saving for ||SS Morty jumpscare rerun and Summer N if possible||

[lament hornet]

29k woo

[rotund sleet]

after flyhan, sitting steady at 50k. ~56k into next datamine isn't too bad

if it is SC units in April, historically, I've never been overly interested in them, but they don't all sit under the same theme (special costume is comically [and purposefully] vague), so impossible to predict whether i'll want to pull or not

as is the case with any month though

[tardy fiber]

Also DeNa where's more free NPC pairs? They're kinda late, its been a while since Kali

[iron robin]

currently at 54.9k !! ||though i have spent gems on a banner bc i refused to use candies and wanted diantha (who i got) and steven to at least 4/5 but.. i do try my best to catch up with my goal which is to hit 2 pities! but i also hope for ss steven rerun before alola va...||

[topaz compass]

Gems bulld up

[grand bramble]

Heya

Don't mind me... just lurking round that all

keep saving!

[violet nebula]

Keep saving, praise Arceus

[compact pasture]

20K next month

[drowsy saddle]

20k?

[compact pasture]

Hoping for it

[reef river]

Thatd be pretty low...

Im hoping at least 26k

And even then, when was the last time we got less than 28k

[compact pasture]

Wait, spring reruns are next month?

[reef river]

Maybe

[drowsy saddle]

Check #1010223517565976737, the last time we got less than 20k was in October 2021

[fallen path]

Thought next month would be potential Villain Arc, although could be both really

[compact pasture]

Oops

[sly breach]

Lol 20k next month and i would be on one pity and one multi thats no good

[vernal glade]

What was the lowest gem count? 19k?

[vestal leaf]

18k

It was pretty common near launch and around 1.5

[sly breach]

I wonder what changed

[lean mango]

gem count, nearly to 100k

I'll wait till Poma day :GlaciaPatientlyWaiting:

[topaz compass]

What changed was they added 3/5 grids so they had to give us more pulls

And game was in danger of EOS probably

[tawny dagger]

What changed was they started adding limited unit way more frequently

[hard wave]

How often would they release?

~~also can we get more gems bcz of 5/5 grids and 3+ MFs like every 3 months ~~

[tough oriole]

Every few months iirc
Or they weren’t mostly limited units being released

[drowsy saddle]

That's really early on

The time before Lance

[tough oriole]

Like after first anni, it was Aether Trio, then Volkner, Lisia, Fall Units, Bianca, Nate

There were a few limiteds but a lot less

[hard wave]

Ah ok, explains why there’s like 10 limited 2020 sync pairs

[tawny dagger]

It ramped up post Prestige

[tough oriole]

Starting in Oct 2020 there might have been a limited pair every month
(Nov was Gloria/Alder, Dec was N/Holiday, Jan was NY, Feb was Pal, (Anni) March had Diantha/Iris)

[slow hare]

I think we will eventually. I mean year to year on avg I think gem counts keep creeping up.

Stay strong and keep saving. Selectiveness is your friend ✊

[dusk zealot]

Help me stay strong for SS Brendan pls. I'm so so tempted to hit pity for Lucas and Dialga because I'm halfway there

But I already got Raihan so I got something out of the banner

And Lucas FOMO won't last long

And I love Brendan's outfit

[tough oriole]

You won’t get ss brendan unless you save

Having that kinda mindset is what i like to have

[dusk zealot]

That's.....actually an angle I hadn't talked to myself from

Thank you

That helped a lot

Thank you Winston

[hard wave]

1 pity minimum a month

[hard wave]

Lucas is a base pair, he has a chance of joining the lodge banner so u can go for him if/when he is or wait for another rerun (which could be likely, hopefully || I want him and red but have to skip || Brendan being an alt does not unless they decide to include alts in them.

[dusk zealot]

Thank you for the info and reassurance. And yeah same here I want them too but I'll skip with u

But yeah thanks 💜💜

[hard wave]

Np

Unfortunately masterfairs r not nice otherwise I would have went for them and eon duo ah well…. Maybe they’ll rerun again

[dusk zealot]

They'll be back someday, they're popular as heck

[tardy fiber]

Talking about eon duo, finally they rerun VA unit when the VA reruns... ssbrendan rerun during hoenn VA rerun

[winged fossil]

I’m hoping datamine has something spicy or is just a save month, not a weird in between.

[hard wave]

I mean lucas/red and eon duo || im only missing hop who I should be able to get, hoping I dont need to pity tho ||

[dusk zealot]

You got this!

[broken mulch]

… what IS inbetween spicy and save?

[sly breach]

A damage dealer that depends on debuff to be useful cue sc rosa

[topaz compass]

Yay

At about 3 pities now

[compact pasture]

Congratulations!

[lyric ravine]

I don't need pokeball dude right? I don't need him

[hasty umbra]

you don't need anyone, that's a silly reason to pull

[lyric ravine]

He looks so derpy

[feral vale]

Save time, save time, oh how I love my save time~ 🎶

[crisp oracle]

SAVING FOR DATAMINE RAHHH

[tardy fiber]

Hope there's datamine this reset, well it might not happen but early datamine once in a while is nice

[deft glen]

I'm at 67k now

[deft glen]

I hope it's before || Anime ||

[upbeat lotus]

Datamine today is likely to happen imo, since we are missing PMD image and PMD is Saturday

[lean mango]

Just waiting for Poma day at this point

[tardy fiber]

Hard to do PMD day pic when the grid pair is only torchic

[tough oriole]

Lorelei in shambles rn

[crisp oracle]

i though loireili was getting something

[tough oriole]

She is also getting her grid

[feral vale]

Yeah, grid

[tough oriole]

Surge is also getting his ex that day iirc

[crisp oracle]

is she going from shitty to pretty good (like Roark) or shitty to ok

[tardy fiber]

Oh i forgot lorelei

[deft glen]

meh

[lean mango]

Haven't seen much of Lorelei

[tough oriole]

Neither, she still sucks

[tardy fiber]

Probably just gonna use her as blizzard spam...but bpcandice already has the same role for me

Just she has 2 he1

[tough oriole]

30% freeze ice beam isn’t too bad i guess, considering she has regen and x speed

[feral vale]

Lorelei did not get moved in the slightest in our chart.

[tough oriole]

She’ll be that throwaway 3rd pair in lg, but at least she shouldn’t be a gauge drainer

[tardy fiber]

Does surge got moved?

[feral vale]

NOPE

ALDBOSBDKAND

He still sucks

[tardy fiber]

Wow not even EX could save him

[tough oriole]

[feral vale]

That was me breaking over how funny it is

Cause EX didn’t do shit

[lean mango]

still looks cool

[tough oriole]

Did people expect it to

[feral vale]

They asked

[lean mango]

Surge grid expansion 2023

[crisp oracle]

so these expansions are kinda ass

[deft glen]

Torchic's is kinda good

[hasty umbra]

hard to fix a unit that's not particularly good at base

[tardy fiber]

Torchic grid expansion is kinda neat

[feral vale]

Torchic’s is amazing

The only good F2P expansion this month

[crisp oracle]

Torchic? The main story one?

[lean mango]

Glacia got saved from expansion let the same happen for the rest

[crisp oracle]

Remind me what are they good at buffing

[deft glen]

getting mpr and Gradual Healing is really nice

[hasty umbra]

eh, Glacia is still pretty whatever

[lean mango]

The only one

[tough oriole]

30% freeze and aoe regen and what not are pretty solid in lg

[lean mango]

She was shit before it so I'd say it was a win

[crisp oracle]

Cheren is still pretty meh in that same vein of thought

[hasty umbra]

well, he is

[tough oriole]

Glacia is above Phoebe and Skyla in Spark’s list

[deft glen]

Cheren is sooooo bad

[feral vale]

@crisp oracle

[hasty umbra]

look at the amazing quality of that pic

[crisp oracle]

so amazing my eyes are sparkling at the 4k

[lean mango]

Look at the pretty lady go

[tough oriole]

||~~Are you saying Skyla/Phoebe are ugly ~~||

[lean mango]

Glacia is superior

[crisp oracle]

So Torchic buffs speed, both attacks, and crit

and may burn

not bad

[tough oriole]

It is true tho

[lean mango]

I always call Glacia the pretty lady

[upbeat lotus]

Entei in shambles rn

Wait she has aoe regen?

[tough oriole]

She has X Regen All

That was literally the unique thing about her kit at the time

[feral vale]

It sure was

Then Evelyn took it

[upbeat lotus]

I replied to your Lorelei message tho mb i got confused

[tough oriole]

Holiday Erika in shambles rn

[feral vale]

I was thinking free tbh

[crisp oracle]

what is the point of full heal

its so deceiving if you don't read the flavor text

[feral vale]

Removing status

[tardy fiber]

ScJasmine in shambles right now

[crisp oracle]

and since I didn't come from main series i thought it was a super potion or smth

[feral vale]

Full Heal does what it always does

It removes any status condition

[tough oriole]

As of Gen 7 it removes confusion, so not what it “always” does

But not in poma

[hasty umbra]

I mean, it's totally your fault if you can't be bothered to read...

so no, it is not deceiving at all

[crisp oracle]

yeah i was very, very new when i was playing barry and i didn't read

so yes my fault

[feral vale]

HOLLUP

[nova lynx]

Me when I thought full heal was potion

[feral vale]

Wtf is the point of Persim Berries now?

[hasty umbra]

wrong item, that's Full Restore, blame Gamefreak for those lovely confusing names..

[upbeat lotus]

Looking pretty

in your bag

[hasty umbra]

cheaper? those full items tend to be a bit expensive, at least early game

[crisp oracle]

I guess like "heal" as in heal from burning

and "restore" like restore health

[tardy fiber]

Full Heal is not useful much in poma, even if we heal bad status...the enemy will usually recast it as enemies usually have hostile environment 8 or something

[drowsy saddle]

Berries can be used as a held item for quick cure

[tough oriole]

Also persim berries are free

[nova lynx]

Yeahh I realised that when I first used Barry

[tough oriole]

Even if they are outclassed by lums

[drowsy saddle]

Though you'd use Lum berry if you have access to them

[nova lynx]

I used him in CS and thought ‘I can heal myself I should be fine’

[tough oriole]

But by that logic, rawst, pecha, and all the other berries are also useless

[nova lynx]

Then I realised that it failed

I didn’t remember full heals existed in the main games since I always used the respective heals

Like parlyz heal and burn heal

[reef river]

Datamine 100% tonight trust me

[tough oriole]

Source: trust me bro

[nova lynx]

But anyways how is everyone’s gem saving going?

[summer goblet]

very good

on track of my ultmate gem count

[reef river]

This month did some damage but ill be walking into april with 50k at least

[nova lynx]

Ayy nice nice

[tough oriole]

Pretty well; i’m prepared if ||i have to pity sc ingo and emmet twice and have something else next month||

[summer goblet]

before going on a gem rampage

[lean mango]

Very close to 100k

[nova lynx]

Yoo same

Except I completely skipped this month

Last month Emma took all my gems

Well most of them so now I should have 51k at the end of this month

[nova lynx]

Ooh nice nice

[lean mango]

Decided to wait for Poma day before deciding

[nova lynx]

Ah

[lean mango]

Want to live that #100kLife for a couple of minutes lol

[nova lynx]

Lmao fair enuf

[crisp oracle]

Seconds if we get a Glacia alt

[lean mango]

Crying tears then

Can't skip Ball Guy

[tardy fiber]

67,560

[nova lynx]

Very nice

[deft glen]

we're very close, 67,330

[tough oriole]

||Wait cris, will you 5/5 ball guy?||

[lean mango]

|| I can not fun his campaign THAT much , Emma broke me ||

[tough oriole]

|| is that the end goal tho, as part of your poisonmax?||

[lean mango]

||I will try to 5/5 Ball Guy eventually, with candies instead||

[tardy fiber]

||how about lodge marnie toxicroak?||

[lean mango]

Uh, still in progress

[sonic cobalt]

Gem saving progress: 8k. Am bad

[lean mango]

Progress is progress

[tardy fiber]

No need to demoralize yourself, every gem counts

[feral vale]

It is progress

[summer goblet]

392k gems saved up, need 8k more to reach my milestone

[nova lynx]

Holy

[lean mango]

Your next goal will be 400k then right?

[summer goblet]

yep

[nova lynx]

I will never be able to resist the urge to pull for that long

[summer goblet]

right before i will spend it on Galar trio

[lean mango]

At least you saved lul

[nova lynx]

Time to see those 400k gems just go brrr

[feral vale]

They can show they got 400k

[summer goblet]

i wonder

aside from Chest and Aqua, who has over 400k gems

[lean mango]

I think that user HolyLight maybe

I don't recall what they're last count was

[summer goblet]

hmm, that is impressive

[lean mango]

I do recall they the only thing they'd pull would be Arceus

[summer goblet]

wow

[tardy fiber]

Last time i saw holylight have 420k

[summer goblet]

wow

[tardy fiber]

Now probably increased

[summer goblet]

a darkhorse contender

[hasty umbra]

always wonder how extreme savers like that don't just get bored of this game tbh

[lean mango]

It's just out of habit ig

[summer goblet]

for me personally, i love to be obsess with the numbers while trying to daily pull my fav through sheer luck

[lean mango]

And Light doesn't usually talk here makes sense

[summer goblet]

and I'm prob the loudest here amongst elite saver lol

[tardy fiber]

I just gonna do like usual, if i have low gem saving that means many of my faves are being released. If i have big savings, it means DeNa didn't release any of my faves for a while.

[summer goblet]

i save gems whenver i feel like it

[lean mango]

number go big

[feral vale]

It’s honestly amazing tbh

[hasty umbra]

some people love big damage numbers, I guess this is the same lol

[summer goblet]

Thank you

[sturdy hatch]

Remember to trade your lucky bonanza tickets

[crisp oracle]

i can't physically trade anymore

[sturdy hatch]

Best to do it digitally then

[hard wave]

Why

[tough oriole]

She didn’t get anything good? Her sync multiplier is still based on freeze, her TM is counter-intuitive, and the only tanking tiles she got are endurance and healing hail

[cunning swan]

her sync multiplier is based on freeze and her freeze chance is still terrible

[hard wave]

She didnt get any HE?

[tough oriole]

She got another he, so she now has 30% rates

[hard wave]

Oh

[tough oriole]

Which is nice for a long battle to freeze incidentally, but not reliable for a nuke

[cunning swan]

that sp atk stat is also sad

[topaz compass]

This is my 3rd time having over 100k (the 2nd being just before Galar bird trio). Feels good jim

[lunar topaz]

[compact pasture]

[cunning swan]

Nice

[opaque cargo]

What is EOS?

[topaz compass]

End of service

[opaque cargo]

Oh really? I have to stop spending then

[cunning swan]

was. When the game launched it was in danger of EOS soon after because it was pretty dead

[opaque cargo]

They need to start continuing the story maybe?

[hasty umbra]

you need to understand this EoS thing was back in 2020...

the game is fine

[opaque cargo]

Paulo prelude, i need continuatiom

[hasty umbra]

and they are already doing the story, that's what the VAs are

[opaque cargo]

I see

I think remember back then on 2020 there was new pokemon game. But i didnt find it interesting. Thats poma eh

[cunning swan]

holy shit thank you for this. I completely forgot to exchange anything and almost missed out from 300 gems for bonanza missions

[winged fossil]

It’s progress.

[lean mango]

Will be my third time too, but with my history DeNa just won't let me enjoy the high life

[topaz compass]

Anni skyla/emolga/wildcard is what I'm hoping for next month as 1 more triple banner

[lean mango]

Will finally give Anni Skyla her 5/5 grid I suppose

[tough oriole]

They should have just put her on the LG banner instead of Lysandre

[rare swan]

[hard wave]

Kind of glad they didnt, this month hasnt been great for me and it’d be one more banner id hv to miss

[oak crest]

i think next survey they give imma suggest them adding 5* story pairs into the daily free gacha pool

im too cheap to consider using the 5* candies for story pair but some might be pretty decent as buffers at LG if they have dupes

[tardy fiber]

I want to suggest adding event related pairs like cgio/bugscyther/naomi on bp shop

[oak crest]

oh yeah that will be nice

esp for pairs that haven reran

like team rocket duo and bugscyther

[cunning swan]

bugscy rerun when

[upbeat lotus]

When Leaf gets another alt, which never happens

[cunning swan]

[feral vale]

[topaz compass]

I just used Bugsy Scyther for a Tapu Bulu 😀

[plucky token]

I missed the TR event both times it ran and I continue to kick myself

[feral vale]

Solo?

[topaz compass]

Oh no lol. Beedrill/Steelix/Scyther

[feral vale]

Oh

[topaz compass]

Hey I'm a top 500 LG player don't make fun of me

(Becauze nobody goes for streaks)

[oak crest]

i stopped at 26th

ran out of weather team for moltres

[sly breach]

I stopped at 26 too, just minus 16 runs from it

[hard wave]

Same

[oak crest]

i just go as far as i can with the pairs i have

didnt bother with eggmons

mainly used pairs with weather mprs that are not sunny to deal with moltres

[tardy fiber]

I go as far as i can with faves, stop at 12 as i have no more fave supports available...hope anniv will give me 2 more bp master faves

[deft glen]

I go as far as my sanity allows me to

[broken mulch]

12 is my max with BS enemies like Moltres lol

Not remotely interested in continuing on

I don’t find the LG event type engaging in the first place. Endurance gauntlet long fights is not my thing, I prefer extreme battles where it’s quick once and done

[lunar topaz]

[upbeat lotus]

[fallen path]

So many coins and so many gems

how are the other resources, richu

[lunar topaz]

(All my units are gridded)

[hasty umbra]

how the heck do you have only 2 CS tickets?

[lunar topaz]

I used some for Karen lel

I don’t know how I even got 2 tickets lel

[hasty umbra]

no no, I mean, how is it even possible?

[lunar topaz]

I don’t know

[hasty umbra]

hmm, maybe at some point you only did 4 of the 5 CS battles

[hard wave]

I have 6

[hasty umbra]

only explanation I can come up with, that'd be 32 tickets

[fallen path]

that's basically me, the first time thru CS i couldn't beat all 5 battles

so i'll always have tickets with number in 2 or 7 lol

[hasty umbra]

what a noob

[fallen path]

[hard wave]

Im pretty sure I did 2 sinnoh CS stages on one week and 4 on the other so ig I did another stage as well sometime?

[fallen path]

i'm curious if you're resource saving the region tickets or just using them since we are like 5 months away from the pool getting updated?

[hasty umbra]

I'm hoarding them now because the only gen pool not at 3/5 I care about are not in those banners yet, except for Kimono Grimsley and the chances to get him are fairly low even from the Alola pool

I only have like 19 tickets for that one anyway

[topaz compass]

I never use Bisharp correctly

[lunar topaz]

Likely

[lunar topaz]

Hoarding mainly Kalos I want shauna

[sly breach]

Well if steven and shauna is all we get in april then am in luck

Looks like a save month

[lunar topaz]

I can save ik very happy

[hard wave]

Same, after I get chop hopefully

Dont think ill be interested in the other 2-3 unrevealed pairs yet but ig ill see, we may be getting another NC

[tardy fiber]

Wow looks like a skip but thats only part 1, they said got part 2 in the middle month

[upbeat lotus]

part 1 looks easily skippable for me

[hasty umbra]

you are talking too soon

keep your fingers crossed the other 2 units aren't faves

[tardy fiber]

12.5k cs

Let me practice it later

[hard wave]

Atleast it starts w kanto

Also I heard we get new param options too

[tardy fiber]

So adding 500 more each, i guess that's manageable...15k cs is the one thats harsh

[sly breach]

Just gotta wait for monday datamine to see what we actually get

[hard wave]

They added 15k?

[sly breach]

But i really hope it can be a save month

[sly breach]

12.5k

We can 2.5k points now for each battle

[hard wave]

Ye but whats vantner saying abt 15k?

[hasty umbra]

going over the 2k points isn't a new concept at all...

the game might ignore them for the count, but you still can pick more parameters

and some people do it all the time because they find 10k boring

[hard wave]

Ye but we get rewards for it now which is nice

[winged fossil]

well now we know what solgaleo's doing.

[hard wave]

I wonder if its only for MC or?

[winged fossil]

no funny color change for mc solga

[hard wave]

Maybe they’ll just give evb an EX and slowly add styles

Except for MC

[tardy fiber]

I hope this also means BP master pair MC can EX

[winged fossil]

normal tech
sc steven immediately sounds bad to me

from sentence 1

[hasty umbra]

keep reading...

that's a terrible mindset

[winged fossil]

what kinda rebuff is he lowering, normal?

are they trying to save normal types?

[hard wave]

He has rebuff for every type

[hasty umbra]

all of them

[winged fossil]

OH.

[hard wave]

Depending on the weakness

[hasty umbra]

reading isn't hard...

read the whole thing before judging

[winged fossil]

so more like a new CRed then. got it.

uhhh, what region was Shauna again?

[tardy fiber]

Sad, ScSteven got stuffs that i wrote on DeNa's survey for Palmer Regigigas kit...

[winged fossil]

i unironically forgot about the pikapresents on pomaday ngl.

[hard wave]

Kalos, the VA she just debuted in last month

[signal halo]

I didn't notice she's got an alt so fast

[winged fossil]

ill be honest i didnt pay much attention to the last VA event

i just hit skip on everything cause i wanted to ex sycamore

[hard wave]

Well she had her spotlight banner

[winged fossil]

i came back like, start of this anni

so idk if banner was even there when i got on

[hard wave]

Oh

[winged fossil]

ok so unfortious 9 or whatever but also raises same stat

[upbeat lotus]

Stat Leech but better

[winged fossil]

well, those first 2 sound like a skip for me bc they arent favs, but they at least seem cool kit wise

MM to 12.5k!

daaamn

im going to have to make even better MM teams now, might actually need to ex some more units to do 12.5 some weeks

[maiden kayak]

this is not the place to discuss this

[winged fossil]

...special sync pair as champion...??? i have 0 clue what champion we might be missing so, wonder if thats a new pair or not teased... and uh, sorry...

[maiden kayak]

saving thread yet talking about new units smh

[winged fossil]

i wonder what the 12.5k rewards will be tho

[opaque cargo]

Wow 493k gems. To save 493 gem already a challenge

[tardy fiber]

I will go through it if it gives BP or extra move coin

BP is worth the hassle for me for faster BP rainbow ticket

[winged fossil]

why do i suspect it just being 10 bp and some more spirits like 7.5>10 was.

[tardy fiber]

I have a bunch of hope they release spirit to conversion

[winged fossil]

haha, hope so too vantner, 365 spirit vs my 105

[opaque cargo]

||why did i pull for ball guy, he is not that good, despite the hype||

[tardy fiber]

I can bring more pairs to have 5* 20/20 stats if they introduce it

[winged fossil]

i think im outpacing my golds rn

[tardy fiber]

I got 2590 spirits

Unused

[opaque cargo]

Need to just login do dailies and be done with poma for the day. Please no more pulling….ME!!!

[winged fossil]

either way, im sure the new mechanics will end up in a fav pair someday. so ill wait for rebuffs to arrive in a pokemon or trainer i actually like

[tardy fiber]

Yep

I skipped ||scingo with the bug zone temptation and then DeNa release bug rebuff on a fave pair Genesect ||

Still help my bug faves

[winged fossil]

im glad that they at least gave hope of ex solga being a thing despite being glue to MC

[tardy fiber]

Yep, this also open opportunity for Regirock/Cobalion/Mesprit

Now i just hope that they allow us to put Favorite (heart icon) on non eggmon MC pairs

[winged fossil]

would like entei ex even if we have to wait for her style to go with it

[tardy fiber]

So that i can filter much more easily

[broken mulch]

||welp time to break bank for my Husbando Steven||

[lunar topaz]

Don’t jinx me

Plz

[sturdy hatch]

That’s why we save

[cunning swan]

[lunar topaz]

Champion Ethan…..

[hasty umbra]

the other 2 are also Special Costumes, so no, keep your copium under control

[lunar topaz]

They said a new champion unit will go with the CS event!!

[hasty umbra]

they said a special pair will appear as a Champion, that can mean many things

[broken mulch]

||yea my gem bank, not my actual bank lol|| never that

[cunning swan]

champ wallace champ wallace champ wallace

like I don't even mind him as an NPC for now

[lean mango]

Gem count, #100kLife

|| Time for Ball Guy, Steven we don't talk about him||

[tardy fiber]

Not poison

So just skip ||steven||

[tardy fiber]

Nemona

[cunning swan]

this would be so funny

[upbeat lotus]

[tardy fiber]

Well a champion unit can also mean characters with champion theme tag and not just neo champion alts

[topaz compass]

OK now I definitely hit 3 pities

[tardy fiber]

I need to see the datamine although these 2 revealed are not faves, but with a track record of 5/9 of past SC being faves means I'm still at risk

[broken mulch]

SC is very random yeah so quite the dangerous event type for people that like multiple characters

[compact pasture]

Hopefully only one support

[tardy fiber]

Also mystery lodge steven pair, i might grab him if lodge steven is with registeel

[upbeat lotus]

Big copium tbh

He is likely with Cradily

[tardy fiber]

Yep because Aggron have mega so probably DeNa saving it for Steven's 10th alt

High chance Cradily

[compact pasture]

When does the select end?

[slow hare]

Early April

[grim plover]

Steven pair is a sign that I must save

Red alt incoming

[tardy fiber]

April 3 for mine, might differ depending on timezones so check your inbox

[clever oyster]

51515 gems right now

[broken mulch]

OH MY GOD I FORGOT THIS PATTERN LOL

[violet nebula]

Another Lillie pair incoming

[topaz compass]

Lillie was already obvious for Alola (may month)

[tardy fiber]

Or Leaf

Seeing the first 2 sc have detective outfit, i wonder if the remaining 2 have suspect/culprit/criminal outfit

[violet nebula]

Good time to save

To see what the other pairs are, Alola VA also highly lively after April

[tardy fiber]

For now its save for me, but need to see if there's legendary/mythical/UB on the remaining hidden units

[violet nebula]

Especially with mention of a champion making an appearance etc

[tardy fiber]

If they are paired with my fave pokemons i will pull, if not, skip

[grim plover]

yeah, most likely

prob will be from alola

[tardy fiber]

Hope its Monday datamine

[topaz compass]

Dev letter out today basically guarantees Monday datamine

Assuming they don't go crazy and do it next reset

[broken mulch]

Had update been later than 27?

I’m actually thinking Wednesday or Thursday update is possible

Since SC starts on 31

[topaz compass]

Possible sure but it is usually only holiday weekends they put out dev letter extra early compared to datamine

[lean mango]

iirc yea there was one update that came on the 28th? I don't remember which one tho I might check later

[lean mango]

|| my heart can't take skipping another Steven pls especially after skipping Anni Steven ||

[upbeat lotus]

when is datamine

[jade lava]

Datamine usually happens at the end of each month between the 25th and 28th
Here is a history of previous datamine dates : https://tinyurl.com/pmexdataminehistory

[lean mango]

I should have 100k again as soon as we roll into next month, ||I'll wait Steven out so I can continue living the high life||

[grand bramble]

Next month is the easiest one ever

[broken mulch]

Skip?

[grand bramble]

Just like last year... there's nothing special going on with the units

[broken mulch]

Haha that was this month for me

Hate the Galar rival trio and no way am I pulling on variety scout banner on a meme unit even if I like him and the event is awesome

SKIP

[lean mango]

At least this Variety scout was better than the first one

[grand bramble]

yea... that was great

[lean mango]

Let's erase those Eevees fom existence

[grand bramble]

another note... Finally.... We're all been waiting for this..... New CS... New challenges .... added difficulty

[lean mango]

Poison CS pls

[broken mulch]

You wanna make 5 poison teams?

[lean mango]

Yes

[broken mulch]

Oh wait the normal CS not the other one haha

[grand bramble]

2 years ago... Costume war... Last year... Tea party... This year... Sherlock Holmes

[lean mango]

I want to have 15 Poison units to complete a CS with only Poison types

[grand bramble]

It's gonna be less

I think

[lean mango]

?

[broken mulch]

For April’s gem count

[grand bramble]

yea.. that's what I sayin

[cunning swan]

depending on the other two units... I might be skipping again

[upbeat lotus]

last April we had 34k gems

[cunning swan]

I like Steven's outfit but not enough to justify me pulling yet

[upbeat lotus]

since SC + lot of missions + events rerun

[cunning swan]

huh, did we?

[grand bramble]

34k last year April?

I don't remember

[cunning swan]

can't believe last april was so dead and yet we got a high gem count,then boom johtrio MFs and only 25k

[upbeat lotus]

#1010223517565976737 message

according to this

[cunning swan]

insane

we were so spoiled during the first 4 months of 2022

[winged fossil]

Costume war wasn’t two years ago… I didn’t join until 1.5 ago and I was around for the first sc batch.

[upbeat lotus]

Pokewar was November 2021

[grand bramble]

Oh.. one half year then

[winged fossil]

Huh, according to the thread you linked gakon it’s like a candy of each roll every other month roughly lately? That’s quite a jump from what I thought it was for the pace lol

[upbeat lotus]

scroll up

[winged fossil]

Yeah I know you linked the msg related to gems but I noticed it had candied too

[upbeat lotus]

ah

[winged fossil]

so got curious of how often to expect them these days

[grand bramble]

The other two.... I think it's gonna be looker and anabel... They fits

[winged fossil]

We got spoiled this month for tech apparently

Which tbh I’m happy about because tech candies I feel like are needed the most

[grand bramble]

Yea... We got way too many techs... which makes the unit insanely broken...

[lean mango]

Anabel alt, quickest to be given an alt then right after Shauna

[grand bramble]

Yes... the quickest... the better...

[lean mango]

If it's Anabel and Looker then good, I hope there are no more favs for April pls,

Give me a break with Poison types aswell

[grand bramble]

I think that's only those 4...nothing else

[lean mango]

They'll probably have more than the 4 from SC

And I'm worried about those 2 that remain anonymous

[cunning swan]

Datamine should be very soon

Reminder to save

[grand bramble]

It's obviously looker and anabel... Lol idk... Could be unexpected too.... so Monday datamine

[winged fossil]

Imagine if they give someone that already has a sc a second sc just to spite us

[upbeat lotus]

im expecting April has mid month update

[winged fossil]

Doesn’t dev letter say next update late April? Or does that only mean letters?

[broken mulch]

Special Costume Criminal Steven

The Detective is the culprit lol

[winged fossil]

Ah yes like the crow agents from hat in time

[upbeat lotus]

only letter

[chrome nest]

Reading new unit description feels like a hassle

[winged fossil]

My generalized reaction to Steven: ah yes new ways of the mechanic. This must mean we might see it on actual favorites soon. (Sorry to you steven simps out there but I’m betting like with past ones, stevens the bait on the fishing hook)

Saving gems is probably going to be vital if he turns out to be bait for a new Lillie or something

Come to think of it. Speaking of alola characters. Do we even have a faba pair? Was he in the games or only anime?

[grand bramble]

They were not too broken or anything ... they were fun to use... that's all I can say

[grand bramble]

Both... he hasn't come yet... so I think in Alola Va

[chrome nest]

I just mumbled my way reading their kit description

[grand bramble]

Next week... I have a mid test...so I probably can't stick around for datamine... but I will try my best to save as much as I can

[lean mango]

Like I actually like what's after, I'm falling for the bait because I always like him more

[winged fossil]

I’m just here crossing my fingers for a skip month without fav temptation. Alola va and summer look like they’re either going to be back to back or straight up in the same month

And that’s scary as shit when I need summer n

[tardy fiber]

||its even easier after skipping the first one ||

[tardy fiber]

Still no normal rebuff so skip because it says give rebuff to any weaknesses but no enemies weak to normal...so no normal rebuff

[grand bramble]

One day.... this game will have normal type weakness

[chrome nest]

||Im saving up after pitying marnie. I’ll save a ton||

What are the chances of hisui unit?

[tardy fiber]

I will be happy if there's normal rebuff/normal zone...will be useful for my hopium future regigigas

[cunning swan]

Imo pretty high considering they'll make a lot of cash

[tardy fiber]

Volo, Cylene, Cogita etc...smells like money

[upbeat lotus]

Adaman, Irida and Volo will make a lot of cash

and Ingo too

[cunning swan]

Amanda???

Adaman 😭

[upbeat lotus]

oopsie

[tardy fiber]

Hope playable Akari will make this face when she loses

[upbeat lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-legends-arceus-pokemon-legends-pokemon-the-pokemon-company-nintendo-gif-25698997

will she become a meme like Selene?

we need to find out

[tardy fiber]

I will be fine if both Dialga/Palkia Origin went to Irida/Adaman or Akari/Rei

Giratina Origin high chance will go to Volo

[lean mango]

|| Anni Steven was right before Emma right? Don't think they'll make another Crobat user in a very long while||

[ashen thunder]

Ah yes a Steven unit this month

Means may unit gonna be a new red

Summer red and lapras

[grand bramble]

It's always favouritism

And after that... We're getting another Lillie alt during Alola va... I swear

[violet nebula]

Maybe 2 Lillies

[grim plover]

alolan red soon

[violet nebula]

Likely a Lusamine to

[grim plover]

for the alola VA

[weary spire]

[tardy fiber]

69,375 ...so close to that second pity

[reef river]

Damn suddenly s are more valuable

Since i can ex anyone

[sturdy flower]

Red is the "special champion unit on 11th"

[vale ivy]

Extremely likely tbh

[reef river]

There was the rumored rerun of ||ssr cynthia|| so it could be that

[cunning swan]

[lean mango]

yoooooo

[tardy fiber]

Ssr cynthia doesn't have a champion tag...only ghost, sinnoh, sygna suit, battle facility foe, passionate spirit

[deft glen]

Irida when

[hard wave]

Lodge red

Also summer alts r july iirc

[chrome nest]

Well I’m clearly doomed for one of them

[glass abyss]

We are saving for sure, hope to have a big number to post here soon

[winged fossil]

Hoping it’s 40k or more

Since sc hoping it’s stacked

[tough oriole]

Nov 2021 had 24k (fairly normal) and April last year had 34k (very high), I seriously doubt it’ll be 40k

[cunning swan]

how did april 2022 even have 34k

what had happened to make the gem count so high

[tough oriole]

Honestly i have no clue

[sturdy flower]

the golden week mini celebration?

no, that's may

[hasty umbra]

4 SC units

[tough oriole]

But november 2021 wasn’t like that

[topaz compass]

30k+ this month would be wonderful || since Steveland is looking like a possible must pull ||

[tough oriole]

Just wait for the next month’s red alt

[hasty umbra]

Hmm, you are right, then I got nothing

[sturdy flower]

Redlax 5/5 with 3 rebuff for weakness

[compact pasture]

[lunar topaz]

30K for a non anni month is a sad insane

[tough oriole]

I mean we had them in Dec/Jan/Feb, but those are always big

[hard wave]

|| maybe the champion is red ||

[hard wave]

Dec was winter and jan/feb were VAs tho

[tough oriole]

Yup

[hard wave]

But still 30k+ would be rlly nice

[cunning swan]

||Good thing my Redlax is 5/5 already!||

[hard wave]

He’s reran so many times yet I still dont have him maybe when he’s on the lodge banner

[spare swift]

Hello

Everyone

So..finally my exams are over

And I can finally play the game again!

[signal halo]

I'm starting to have issues finding pairs to save for

List shrunk considerably

I don't like to have small gem amounts, but I also dislike saving for multiple months

Don't know where the banners will take me

But for now, I'm growing close to 70k

[drowsy saddle]

And how is your fave list looking?

[slow hare]

Congrats!

[sweet plaza]

How do I activate gem spending limit case I think I have a problem

[cunning swan]

gem spending limit? the only limit is for buying paid gems I think

gem spending is only limited by your own self control

[broken mulch]

I think there’s an option to limit your credit card payments but beyond that I have no idea

[sweet plaza]

How can I ser that up

[sonic cobalt]

Up to 10k gems now. The pool is slowly filling

[copper crescent]

I started the game around Christmas 22 and I have 78k

The only banner I summoned so far was the Anni Steven couple months ago

since then I haven't spent gems on summoning

I'm currently for the hoenn banner tomorrow or when Ash returns

Idk when Ash returns tho

[vestal leaf]

Probably never

[copper crescent]

well I will probably have over 1M gems then
