Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[vernal glade]

Finally, team rocket wheezing and arbok, but shiny.

[sonic cobalt]

Zubat egg is in the game I thought.

Frankly I hate the fact that all eggmon are Gen 1

[tough oriole]

Methinks when they finish gen 1 they’ll move on, since we have munchlax and hitmontop

[tardy fiber]

Sad that they ignore belossom

They could just make strike and tech oddish becomes vileplume and support becomes belossom

But they wont

[sturdy hatch]

They held back on all split evos for so long and then the just gave up

[lean mango]

After they finish gen 1 they'll move onto Gen 2, please shiny Crobat

[vernal glade]

Gen 5 won’t come cause EOS. rip shiny zoruas

[untold tide]

If someone with shiny hisuian zorua came

I don't think I have the will to evolve it

[sturdy hatch]

Don't worry, evolution is a dead mechanic

[hasty umbra]

not that they are still adding actual sync pairs able to evolve

iirc Selene and Elio were the last ones they added with that, and that was like 2 years ago

[sturdy hatch]

Galar starters don't even evolve

[untold tide]

Aren't they already final evo

[hasty umbra]

yes, that's the point, they just make them in their final/intended form now

[untold tide]

Oh sad

Maybe I'll cope for something like Lodge syca with bulbasaur

[hard wave]

Yeah when chesnaught rilaboom and greninja were all added in january, october, and december and they came as their final form

[mental skiff]

2k today

[lunar topaz]

Gems!

[winged fossil]

Bleh I forgot to finish my dailies cause I fell asleep before I was going to do interactions

So -80gems for me

And -1 day of lodge

[lunar topaz]

3 favs that I don’t have yet left!!
AniSkyla CElesa and Dialga are all that’s left cannot wait

[tardy fiber]

Great reset today, many gems, many and i able to form my support candy but i gonna save it till datamine

[violet nebula]

Yus

This is the way

[oak crest]

Looks like I need the next reset to hit a new milestone

[cunning swan]

175k

[cobalt frost]

im horrible at saving.

i impulse pulled for detective steven as soon as i got the gems for a multi

i was arguing with myself on whether to do it or not for like

5 minutes

i did it

6/7 dead multis

[rare swan]

you're in the right place - the main thing is that you're recognizing you're not happy with impulse pulling

[untold tide]

...yeah, that's why people don't pull without a pity secured

[cobalt frost]

im NEVER this bad at saving i swesr its just sc steven is just something i really really really wanted i was told to wait for datamine a few days ago

im impatient as hell

[untold tide]

maybe a gacha game isn't for you, then?

[cobalt frost]

i never had a problem with it until recently when they just started SPAMMING units i really wanted

[rare swan]

sometimes a fave can do that to us, i don't think it's fair to say they're unsuited to gacha

(also FYI, we usually request people use spoiler tags for any talk of pulling in this particular thread)

[cobalt frost]

ok

[rare swan]

[untold tide]

the thing with gacha games is that you're guaranteed to get what you want, but only if you save to pity (unless your game doesn't have pity glances at FGO)

and yeah FOMO does get to us for favs

[cobalt frost]

usually i can easily skip entire months but like

[untold tide]

but consider that rationally, if you just yolo without a pity, you are likely to end up with not even a single fav

[cobalt frost]

march and april had like 4 fav units

[mental skiff]

And it is a game at the end of the day so clean the plate and start saving gem

[rare swan]

what is your gem balance at the moment, figment?

[untold tide]

hmm, do you think you can get to pity before his banner leaves?

[cobalt frost]

385

[cobalt frost]

no

[rare swan]

[cobalt frost]

only halfway

[rare swan]

sorry to hear that

it's a hard way to learn that lesson

[mental skiff]

Better stop i got 9k gone by steven this month too

Now i save for VA

only 18k saved

[cobalt frost]

im fine at saving usually i have to emphasise this

they just threw too many things i really really wanted at once

and now va is happening next month and im just

[rare swan]

we believe you, it's all good

they have been spamming interesting units lately

[mental skiff]

well they do throw too many thing recently tho

[cobalt frost]

should i just stop scouting for steven

i shouls

[mental skiff]

Yes

Not enough pity

[cobalt frost]

i said i would last time but then i did it again

[untold tide]

yeah, sorry if I came off too harsh, it's just that this keeps happening haha

[rare swan]

i would definitely stop

especially if you're an alola fan

[mental skiff]

If you start doing it again and have nothing i think it can result in quit game

[untold tide]

it's always the maybe ||1 more multi I can get him this time||

but the facts of the matter is that

right now your chances of getting sc steven in the next multi is the same as your previous dead multis

[cobalt frost]

i still cant believe i got THAT many dead multis

[mental skiff]

"But last month i got this one unit in 1 multi let's push my luck" same old story

[cobalt frost]

||21k gems spent and ONLY one 5 star that was already at 5/5||

[untold tide]

rng is rng at the end of the day

[rare swan]

gacha can be very cruel....

[mental skiff]

Gamble syndrome is a thing tho

[cobalt frost]

i dont believe I have that? its still just this specific instance with this specific unit that i have immense fomo for
i saved nearly 90k gems at one point

[mental skiff]

Then you can quit it easily now since the chance is pretty bad

[violet nebula]

Salt channel

[mental skiff]

I got it tho i usually have impulse 1 multi and roll till i ran out of gems

story of my life

[cobalt frost]

i was literally arguing with myself for like 5 minutes

[untold tide]

someone can probably calculate the chances of getting sc steven

in two more multis

[rare swan]

it sucks that it happened but you seem to have a v good perspective

we all have moments of weakness, don't beat yourself up too much

[cobalt frost]

yeah thanks

dena just kicked me while im down lol

i am a giant fan of alola but im unsure about the alt quality

like yeah we're gonna get a zeraora and a magearna, maybe a gladion and hau alt, but like, do they get good outfits

even tho those are some of my favorite pokemon and characters, there's still a decent chance i could skip them

[untold tide]

yeah, there's only...~two more multis assuming we get 1.5k between the dates our current datamine knowledge ends and the date the banner ends

[mental skiff]

Next month is around 26k so if you haven't started saving... Well same old story as this month

[cobalt frost]

yeah im gonma try my hardest to not scout
granted i said it last time but ITS A FAVORITE IT HURTS OKAY

im trying to heighten my standards for alola va tbh

that should barrow it down to 1 or 2 units

out of the potential 4 or so

and hopefully it will be 2 months long

zeraora is probably a skip no matter what tbh

idk why i put it in my faves list a few days ago

tapus? skip

most ultra beasts? especially ones that arent taken? skip

[mental skiff]

a rerun alola unit end on 25th... So we cant tell if it has 2 part or not. People hype up for alola but it can end up just like Kalos or Unova

[cobalt frost]

champion calem and serena exist sooo

[mental skiff]

expect 2 part for saving gems is a bit risky

Next month is VA so probably 26k in worst case

[cobalt frost]

also

25th is such an early date to end a villain arc

unova va went up to like 30th

or something

[mental skiff]

it will last till a few day next month tho

[cobalt frost]

if its really a 1 month thing

no im talking alola va

im not going for steven

[mental skiff]

Yeah i talk about Alola va

[cobalt frost]

but yeah i feel id be able to get 1 pity

or close to it

[mental skiff]

i mean yeah can be

Recently VA give huge gems count tho

[cobalt frost]

as im going by the logic it will continue to june

and if its one month
that means its gonna be 2 units part 1, 1 unit part 2, and 2 spotlights (instant skip)

[mental skiff]

If it last 2 month it can result in huge VA like Johto tho

That VA is dreadful for me

[rare swan]

definitely just focus on Alola for now

[mental skiff]

So many good units

[cobalt frost]

thanks again
||sorry for pulling again lol||

[untold tide]

....||you pulled again during our convo?!||

[cobalt frost]

no

[untold tide]

I sincerely hoped not

nice

good luck

hopefully the alola banners are kinder

[cobalt frost]

i was referring to the PREVIOUS convo

[rare swan]

no apologies required 😌

[untold tide]

in the end, its your own gem

there's no need to apologize for spending your own gem

[cobalt frost]

i skipped unoVA in its entirety even tho unova is my second favorite reigon
i feel like i will survive

a lillie alt would do probably nothing for me
even a lusamine alt

only characters im even remotely interested for based on the character alone are Hau, Gladion and Guzma

[rare swan]

I'd be surprised if both Gladion and Hau get nothing

my money is on Gladion

surely they will complete the family alts

[cobalt frost]

also a alt of those characters does not guarantee a pull from me

they need to be atleast usable in a meta sense
be dripped tf out
and use a pokemon i atleast like

and even then

[rare swan]

that is a good view to have!

always good to be picky tbh

[cobalt frost]

thats my general requirements for a pull

S Tier Character (Can go for A tier at times but everything else has to be better)

Usable Meta Wise (Top Tier/Provides important Niche for A Tiers Characters)

Drip (I am picky on what counts as drip)

Pokemon I atleast like (top tier pokemon if A tier character)

if all 4 of these are met than i want to pull

[rare swan]

good rules!

[cobalt frost]

thats my general logic

its why i wanted steven so bad

it passed all those

[topaz compass]

Another day, another K

[untold tide]

I guess right now its spilled milk already, but can you reflect back on past recent pulls

not on sc steven

[cobalt frost]

yeah

[untold tide]

and maybe you realize you haven't been picky enough

or something else, maybe fomo

honestly your way of picking is the same as mine

which is why I also pass on non-meta alts of faves

[cobalt frost]

i do that from time to time

[untold tide]

like lillie, I love her

but her costume for tea party is...eh

and that tea party alt isn't game breaking either

so I'm holding out for aloVA

[cobalt frost]

all i really want out of a lillie alt probably wouldnt be done with a VA

considering how legendary focused they are

only 2 things are like
Magearna and Alola Ninetales

but Selene exists and is in competition for Magearna

and i wouldnt go for Selene

but they always do protag alts around va

so if Selene gets Magearna i see that as a huge saving win

[mental skiff]

oh same

Only 3 target for me this VA too 2 of your lilie and lusamine nihilego

[cobalt frost]

if anyone gets Zeraora i likely wont care as i dont see a sygna suit of that mon being drip

[mental skiff]

pis outfit

[cobalt frost]

even tho i like zeraora as a mon

tapus, instant skip

most ultra beasts probably skip aswell

except like

kartana

and naganadel

but thats already used

[untold tide]

Rock or poison nihilego would be nice

[cobalt frost]

nihilego is nice but a pretty easy skip

[mental skiff]

It is Iris's pokemon tho

[rustic heron]

could get a shiny variant

[cobalt frost]

shinies are always possible 🤷

[mental skiff]

not likely but yeah

[cunning swan]

We still have some more ultra beasts, can they please release those instead of making a shiny naganadel

[mental skiff]

if nihilego is rock dps... I will give it one pity

[rare swan]

i can see Nihilego being a cracked poison tech, we don't have a premium unit like that

maybe designed to work with FIris

[mental skiff]

nihilego is my demise in any possibilities

[cunning swan]

Poison is starting to get redeemed but if they're not faves, they won't really help me and I'll continue using checks box Roxie and Koga

[cunning swan]

Nihilego will be my demise if it goes to Lusamine in her mother beast form

[rare swan]

valid

[mental skiff]

🫶 who else can it go with

[rare swan]

obviously I use Emma now but Sycasaur was handling it fine before she came along

[cunning swan]

I have ||ss gio|| for good poison DPS but I've been running Roxie recently too

[mental skiff]

I just use marnie luckily they gave free marnie for me

[rare swan]

the way I forgot about

sorry king 😔

[mental skiff]

same

[rare swan]

still a great unit

[mental skiff]

he used be my main for ground, poison and steel

🥹help me saving gems

[cunning swan]

He's still my main for ground and poison

[mental skiff]

No fomo

[cobalt frost]

wait

[cunning swan]

This week both ground and poison run at the same time in CS and that's when I busted out

[cobalt frost]

i know for a FACT alola va will be 2 months long

kanto elite 4 trainer files

[cunning swan]

To be fair no one knows for a fact but it's pretty likely

[cobalt frost]

thered be like

no room for a promised part 2

through may

if alola va doesnt start a bit later in the month

meaning it will go over into june

[mental skiff]

May (Alola VA) -> June (nothing) -> July (Galar VA) -> August (nothing + run up) -> September (Not Galar Anni)

This can happen tho

[cobalt frost]

maybe

but the kanto elite 4 is obviously getting a 2nd part its referred to as part 1

[mental skiff]

If Alola happen 2 month we will end up with another Galar anni

[cunning swan]

Looking back at Unova VA, which was also in a month, they managed to sneak in a few solo events #datamines message

[mental skiff]

Why it matter? Variety have nothing in common with VA tho

[cobalt frost]

my guess is
Late April: Misc Event
Early May: Kanto Part 2
Mid May: Alola VA Part 1
Late May/Early June: Alola VA Part 2

[cunning swan]

IF Alola VA only lasts a month, it's not surprising if they manage to fit in trainer files part 2 in the same month

[cobalt frost]

i just dont see it considering how packed 1 month va usually are

[mental skiff]

eh they will slap kanto part 2 into VA not like it sell anyway

Like SC in middle of Anni

[cunning swan]

Well we've only had 2 VAs that are packed into a month. august 2022 was pretty much hoenn-centric, but as you can see, november 2022 managed to fit in two extra events (a sweet secret solo event and the eevee day one) during UnoVA month

The sample size is too small for us to be making assumptions

[cobalt frost]

okay ig

i still dont feel like its going to be a 1 month thing

[mental skiff]

may be may be not find out in next 3 day

[cunning swan]

Last year Johto VA spanned from May to June, so we can just hope the schedule overlaps this time

[cobalt frost]

if it was
wouldnt they have mentioned the villain arc last dev letter?

if its talking about stuff from EARLY MAY

[cunning swan]

That'd be too early I feel

[cobalt frost]

usually they announced va one month ahead of time

[mental skiff]

Or we have no VA next month tho that can also be a thing....

[cobalt frost]

like not saying what reigon or alts and stuff just "We are adding a chapter to the villain arc next month"

thats what they usually do

[mental skiff]

only thing predictable is seasonal rerun

[cunning swan]

That'd be funny

[cobalt frost]

it makes me believe it starts a bit later in the month

and we have 1 or 2 events before part 1

in may

which means it wouldnt be a full va month
meaning it goes on into june

[cunning swan]

let's hope that's the case

[mental skiff]

rerun of MF pair will end in middle of VA... (before next datamine) Not weird at all. People wont scream bait at all

[cobalt frost]

anni? june isnt anni

[cunning swan]

What anni

[cobalt frost]

that was march

but yeah ss lusamine is definitely bait for part 2 specifically

thankfully i already have her

[mental skiff]

Oh mistake VA for anni

[oak crest]

like how Leon rerun was for the Galar NCs

[mental skiff]

[nova lynx]

Man I sure hope Alola VA is nice to me

[cobalt frost]

same

[nova lynx]

I’m only at 51k gems

Update is due to be this upcoming week right?

[rare swan]

yup

i personally think the 27th

[cobalt frost]

do you guys think ill be able to live

at only 1k gems

rn

my goal is to only potentially go for 1, 2 if i get really lucky

and even skip entirely if nothing is something i really really want

[nova lynx]

Mmm might be a bit risky

I’m not entirely sure on how many gems VA months tend to give but it might be a bit risky with just 1k gems

[cobalt frost]

its likely going to be 2 months

so it goes halfway into june

atleast im counting on it

[nova lynx]

Ah good point

There’s a chance it lasts for 2 months

So you’ll be able to get a pity

[tardy fiber]

I hope datamine is on 25/26

Because ssmorty released on 28th last year

So 2/3 days earlier for datamine would be nice

[vestal leaf]

25 doubt

It's either 24 or 27

Imo

25 is Poma day, 26 there's already studf

Stuff

[cobalt frost]

25 could be dev letter

[tardy fiber]

Oh right maybe have early dev letter just like last month

[nova lynx]

26 is the last day of content right

I think itd make sense for it to be on the 26th

[tardy fiber]

Hopefully there's fave

Ive been abstaining from ||pulling|| anything for a month

[nova lynx]

Sameee

I pulled at the end of last month for SS Brendan

[mental skiff]

next 4 month gonna be hard for me

Alola > Summer > Galar VA > Anni

cant handle it all

[tardy fiber]

Oh right, i need to lookout for festive seasonals as well

Although it rarely happens but calyrex and naganadel did happened

[mental skiff]

probably some UB will appear in seasonal banner

But anni with select soon to come so not like it hurt you that much

[tardy fiber]

Yep, i thought they want to do spring again and release blacephalon in it, but unfortunately nope or kartana for new year because its origami

[mental skiff]

Dena always mysterious

[nova lynx]

Surely they release all the remaining UBs during Alola VA

[mental skiff]

7 pair?

Necroma is also an ultra beast

[tardy fiber]

Solgaleo and lunala as well

[hard wave]

im hoping if there is stuff I want to pull on its reruns so I dan shorten my list but ig we’ll see

[mental skiff]

i mean 7 ultra beast left without sync pair

[hard wave]

7 is a lot especially with magearna zeraora dawn wings etc.

[mental skiff]

i only have summer rerun left

0.33%

[hard wave]

If I can get || lussa || then ill have 12 left luckily all are pokefairs or masterfairs (including her, 4 masterfairs )

Could use some nice triple banners

[mental skiff]

Hope there is triple banner tho

I invest in them lately and 4.5% sure say a lot

[tardy fiber]

But necrozma has lusamine

So stakataka, blacephalon, guzzlord, kartana, nihilego, xurkitree

[hard wave]

Necrozma has 3 forms so

[mental skiff]

I mean the dark material form

[tardy fiber]

So doesn't mean that there's still no sync pair that have necrozma

[mental skiff]

Original

[hard wave]

Idk if they’ll do unfused necrozma but dawn wings is possible

[tardy fiber]

Just like black kyurem and kyurem are both kyurem

So 6 UBs still don't have pairs

[mental skiff]

Oka agree

[tough oriole]

Gem update

||I have 2 pities coming into alola va, which is good||

[violet nebula]

Very good

[sturdy flower]

Datamine in 4 days!

[mental skiff]

too long

[vernal glade]

Not long for me

[halcyon dune]

Today I start saving

[lean mango]

Good luck on your saving

[hard wave]

Still have 400 gems left from the teaparty missions going to try and save until lussa comes in 3 days

Hopefully next month has enough

[rare swan]

Keep up the saving

[tardy fiber]

Cannot wait for datamine or dev letter tease

[hard wave]

I would like dev letter but it made me more impatient for datamine

[deft glen]

me too

[robust shore]

at least datamine should be in the next couple of days

[deft glen]

I'm waiting before I upgrade some of my sync pairs

[rare swan]

It's definitely close

[robust shore]

but man it'll feel like an eternity

[rare swan]

Soon....

Brace yourself Alola fans

[sand crown]

my poor gem reserves

[deft glen]

plot twist: VA Part 1 with Alola Red and Blue

[robust shore]

noooooo 💀

im hoping for tapu koko personally

[hard wave]

Im a kalos fan but february was my first ever skip month so hopefully its the same bcz im an alola fan too

[robust shore]

but im expecting next month to be a skip month lol

[rare swan]

F....February?? As a Kalos fan?

[tardy fiber]

VA part 1 with Archer and Ariana plus their UB pairs

[rare swan]

[sand crown]

a kanto and alola fan's worst nightmare. It's me, I'm both.

[hard wave]

Yea but I have ss diantha and the frogs

[rare swan]

😌 still a good collection

[deft glen]

the frogs

[crisp oracle]

3K till two pities

[rare swan]

My beloved froggies....a turning point for the Kalos roster fr

[deft glen]

they are so fun to use

specially cuz Serena is my top fave

[tardy fiber]

Well at least Kalos stan will get new chatelaine this anniv

[crisp oracle]

||I thought I needed Emmet bug dps but Aaron dps won me the extreme battle ||

[hard wave]

The battle challenge?

[crisp oracle]

Yea

[hard wave]

I used alder despite having 4 and 2 sp atk

[crisp oracle]

Now I can save without temptation

[tardy fiber]

Still looking for 1 more aaron copy for 3/5

[hard wave]

With aaron and skyla so no sp atk buffers

[deft glen]

but battle challenges are usually easier

[sonic cobalt]

Noland played pretty well for the mission tbh

[deft glen]

Noland is good

once his Fury Cutter gets going

[tardy fiber]

I used ||mechbert ||

[sonic cobalt]

Fury Cutter is gg

[deft glen]

|| I used my SC Emmet from last year ||

[tardy fiber]

I skipped bug subway bros due to they are not faves, kinda have some memory with them... I start to skip non faves zone units starting with scingo

[deft glen]

I was like that with Sonia for a very long time

[tardy fiber]

Same, it changes when sonia starts to pop from galar tickets now i have her 5/5

[deft glen]

I stopped using my tickets once I got her

[hard wave]

I had her for 2/5 for the longest time and got 3 copies since january

[deft glen]

now from the ones that are in the ticket pool only Olivia and Ethan aren't 3/5

[sonic cobalt]

Both my Sonia and Aaron are forever sitting at 2/5 and I'm half tempted to just shove a candy down their throats.

[hard wave]

Instantly started EXing and 150ing her once I got the 3rd copy, same w aaron

Well aaron is still 140 but ill prob do it eventually

[sonic cobalt]

please, tickets. Gimme one more Aaron, one more Sonia and one more Kiawe.

[deft glen]

Sonia hates me, I have to reset multiple times to get her MPR

[tardy fiber]

I need 1 aaron, 1 lucian, 2 looker, 3 melony, 2 gordie, 2 shauna

For 3/5

[deft glen]

I want another Courtney, I want to nuke with her

and EX

I have so many units I want to EX but my 5* tickets are getting low

[hard wave]

I need 2 more courtney, looker, colress, gordie, lucian, grimsley as well as 1 bea volkner selene and gladion and missing lana melony and shauna for below 3/5

[tardy fiber]

Time to ||do high streaks in gauntlet||

[hard wave]

Same

[deft glen]

I hope we get an easy Gauntlet

[tardy fiber]

As i already consistently clear 10 streaks gauntlet with just faves...i gonna expand my goal, the more faves i get, the more streaks that i will do ...cannot wait for anniv, if there's 2 new support bp MF again that could add 1 or 2 more streaks for Gauntlet fave teams

[sonic cobalt]

oddly enough I've yet to get Melony, Lisia, Brendan, Courtney, or Lucian or even Elesa.

[tardy fiber]

Brendan and Lisia

Well might be if you are saving hoenn tix, i spend every time I have 30 tix

[fallen path]

I’m gonna wait till 4th anni to spend the tickets

I have a lot of them accumulated lol

[rare swan]

Good plan

Hopefully we will get pool updates again

[hard wave]

Luckily I can save kanto johto hoenn unova (1/5 grimsley is my last <3/5) kalos

[fallen path]

Some of the regions like Kanto I don’t really see a spotlight unit getting anything (but I’m still hoarding anyways) but hopefully Kalos expands beyond 3 gen pool units soon

[sonic cobalt]

nah I've been spending my tickets as soon as I get to 30 most of the time since I'm a newer player and roster needs growing. but I'm to the point I might as well start saving at this point. Oh right, another pool pair I lack is Hilda/Emboar lmao

[fallen path]

If you’re a newer player you should use them but I’m just missing two general pool units and I’m not overly itching for so I’ve gotten used to the exclamation mark

[topaz compass]

I'm like 90% confident we get both lillie/vulpix and lusamine/nihilego

And I'd pull both. Obviously prefer poison nihilego but rock could be interesting too depending on role

[tardy fiber]

I hope its poison

Just make stakataka and Terrakion rock DeNa if you want Rock so much

[sonic cobalt]

I'd be down with Nihilego being a poison pair since Villain Lusamine is a toxic person.

watch is be hat Lillie+Nihelego

[tardy fiber]

Ariana Nihilego pretty sure Rocket will have some stuff because they are the one that opened the wormhole

[lean mango]

I just want Nihilego to be poison, don't care who gets it at that point just make it Poison

[hard wave]

Johto and kanto ill just keep hoarding, hoenn ill use if I have enough to pull for courtney copies, unova ill pull for colress copies, and kalos I can try for 3/5 shauna and 5/5 serena ig

We should get alot of alola tickets so maybe I can 3/5 selene and gladion and finally get lana

[sonic cobalt]

Meanwhile my arse is sitting on a 5/5 Selene for some reason

[summer goblet]

if there is a moment where i will skip my fav if dallies doesn't go in

its that my favourite hockey ended up winning a playoff round for the first time in like 30 years

and i will fulfil my bet to skip SC Steven completely

[mental skiff]

Realized ||Sc steven|| can only buff max to 10 physical move up next me lose interest in him and all unit with that gig

[hearty blaze]

sc units so tempting , but I can’t be tempted to pull for a unit if I can’t afford a multi

[rare swan]

Correct besides, we're only days away from datamine

[hearty blaze]

Exactly

Goal is to get to 3k gems by datamine

[mental skiff]

exactly 3k gems

[hearty blaze]

Couldn’t get SC Shauna this year, next time she will be mine

[hearty blaze]

Who knows

[mental skiff]

On gems count sheet i mean

[hearty blaze]

I do have a nice gift card and both champion and story bundles if a kiawe alt is dropped next month …

[hearty blaze]

yay

[hard wave]

Ill hv 3 multis for lussa a reset after pmd

[hearty blaze]

5k gems

[cunning swan]

PMUN/SMUN only stacks up to ten, always. Stacking them in short battles like CS is kinda unrealistic too tbf

[mental skiff]

hopefully no fav for me next month but they will drop a good triple or double banner

[hard wave]

Same

[mental skiff]

not that much of increase tho

[hearty blaze]

For the first time in forever I’m praying for Lillie family alts next month = skip month = good for me

[hard wave]

New stuff is cool but I want to hv an empty rerun list

[hearty blaze]

[mental skiff]

Im praying for lilie family event to comeback tho

That medal

[hearty blaze]

crying in sc Shauna, creedlos person, and Alcremie

[hard wave]

Pmun/smun is just another thing for funni beeg number

[hearty blaze]

Lillie family is skip for me so not complaining

Don’t need more blondes

[hard wave]

I hv 13 including lussa

[cunning swan]

Not that much? Pretty sure 1 stack is 40% increase already

[mental skiff]

i tried it it cant even get me 999999 damage

[hard wave]

And creedlos?

[hearty blaze]

Creselia** autocorrect crazy

Dawn?! I think

[hard wave]

Oh dawn

Ye ss

[hearty blaze]

Im horrid at remembering who has who

[cunning swan]

Not enough setup maybe. Breaking the new damage cap is harder than imagined

And so what? It's "not enough damage" just because it can't break the cap?

[hard wave]

I have been able to get 100k but maybe 120k max personally

[mental skiff]

I mean that is the whole point of special physical up next for me... to try getting 999999

Beside i have no problem with CS so never need it

[hearty blaze]

at least he is still insane w/out phys up, he does lots of other neat things

[mental skiff]

probably get too hype

If i knew this i probably didnt lose gems on him

[mental skiff]

Gems plan till anni. Even at minimal gems count i can still see we get around 3-4 pity in 5 month.

Just need to skip part 1 or 2 of Alola VA

[hard wave]

[mental skiff]

your plan dont have seasonal

and too many MF good luck

[hard wave]

Yeah idrc for any seasonals/SCs

Maybe hleon and sc diantha but ill just hope for a free sc and seasonal select

[mental skiff]

That is good you dont have to deal with abyssmal rate... I witnessed it all

[hard wave]

I dont need those 2 anyway so eh

[hard wave]

not looking forward to those 4 masterfairs tho

Oh well

[mental skiff]

nothing free especially sc i dunno if they will ever make select around 5000 paid gems

[mental skiff]

Zerena might comeback soon

[hard wave]

Yeah I have to go for lussa so im hoping I can skip alola VA zerena is a few months away I think so hopefully im able to get her by the time she comes

[mental skiff]

hope so

Dunno if i can resist serena tho

She has short hair like in anime and i like anime serena

[rare swan]

Still odd she didn't rerun with the Kalos VA

A shame for everyone who wants her

[mental skiff]

I think it is a bit too soon

[hard wave]

It wasnt even a year by then

[mental skiff]

Probably they wait till 1.5 year atleast so it wont become seasonal

[hard wave]

I hope 2nd rerun+ dont take that long tho

[mental skiff]

I think they will slap it on anni

i mean who else can they rerun anyway

[hard wave]

Yeah her rerun lines up w anni

One thing I dont understand is that would mean johtrio should be december, but 2nd anni was december

So shouldnt it be 3rd anni who should be rerunning in december?

[mental skiff]

I think johto trio is next year thingy

and they have to spread them

[hard wave]

Its prob going to be the same time as 2nd anni MF reruns

[mental skiff]

johto trio is june and 2nd anni trio is march tho

Can see the delay of johto trio

[hard wave]

? 2nd anni trio reran in december

Last week of it tho so they were basically for january

[mental skiff]

No i mean the date when they first came

[hard wave]

They came in august/september tho

Lunala reshiram and shiny rayquaza

[mental skiff]

oh mistake

How long between the rerun and first came

[hard wave]

I think so far all of them have been 14-16 months except leon

[mental skiff]

[hard wave]

Weather duo in may/june and rerun in august/september, 2nd anni trio in august/september rerun in december/january, lussa in november/december rerun in april/may

Leon debuted and reran in march

[tough oriole]

Well, late feb/march

[mental skiff]

but so far all MF first run and rerun doesn't come year after year. Let see if Serena rerun this anni or not

I feel like it will make them become seasonal but +4-6 month

[lunar topaz]

Only missing a few more favs and then can move onto units I find fun

[untold tide]

Just wait for kalos pool update

You'll get shauna then

[mental skiff]

🫶🥹one year aniversary 100 gems

[lunar topaz]

I know I this was made when she was on a banner if I had more gems I would’ve 100% pulled for her though Chesnaught is massive fav

[oak crest]

Finally hit the 200k mark this reset, 2nd half of April is def dry as heck

[iron robin]

rlly hoping for alola va 🙏🙏
im so close to 2nd pity (been saving for alola)

||till sc steven happened so he interrupted my saves but he was nice enough to be 3/5||

[glacial grove]

I misclicked. Sorry for the inconvenience.💀

[nova lynx]

Oh wow good job!

I don't think I could ever save more than 100k

[broken mulch]

It would take a very, VERY dry year for me lol

[nova lynx]

Yeahh

I'd need to have zero faves to be able to save till that amount

[tardy fiber]

I might reach 100k on poma day

[oak crest]

tbh idh much faves and only pull for meta

altho im extremely fussy

[topaz compass]

Another day, another k

dang

[crisp oracle]

Almost to 2 pities

[lofty relic]

[violet nebula]

[mental skiff]

Update gems/scout plan although i know it might face obstacles but better have a plan than none. Still wondering if i should go for summer rerun or not.

[rustic heron]

what do the gem numbers mean?

[sonic cobalt]

probably how many gems they expect to have saved by that point?

[cobalt frost]

by this point, i feel i have most things i want that are already in the game
likely not going for a seasonal rerun ever again that isnt the detective event

[hearty blaze]

i have all my favs in the game so like now I just do whatever, all content is easy to clear so

I admire those who have saved <100k

[topaz compass]

Do you mean greater than 100k?

That would >100k

[hearty blaze]

omfg yea 💀

Math is not my strong subject guys

[vernal glade]

You’re not the only one.

[tough oriole]

What about more mallow alts
||Also off topic but i love your pfp, poco is amazing||

[mental skiff]

I just add minimal gems expect of that month into the total

[vernal glade]

I’m gonna be waiting months for my fav to get another alt.

[tardy fiber]

No lussamine video trailer

[mental skiff]

nothing

[oak crest]

hopefully we get a datamine on 25th or 26th

[cunning swan]

No trailer for lussamine?

[tardy fiber]

Or a dev letter will also be nice, i love that they teased scsteven and scshauna first for us

[untold tide]

datamine could change right

so there's a non zero probability

that they decide to cancel lussamine rerun

on a more serious note just wait on reset

for lussamine trailer

literally just 30 minutes to go

[gusty wadi]

i have like

22k gems rn

do y'all think i should be worrying about having enough for the va

[mental skiff]

anything pls dena anything....

[untold tide]

you'd certainly have enough for one pair

now, for two...

[mental skiff]

Yes

[untold tide]

that takes luck

[tardy fiber]

Well if your faves are alola, it might not be enough...if you dislike alola characters or pokemons, yeah its enough

[mental skiff]

i mean it always enough if you dont like anything

[tardy fiber]

Even more safe if you dislike lance and agatha as well as kanto e4 part 2 variety might happen

[untold tide]

my faves are lillie and lusamine, maybe with secondary priority of selene/elio if they get good pokemon

[compact pasture]

Is the VA next month?

[untold tide]

I'm skipping gladion if he gets one

[vernal glade]

Most likely

[tardy fiber]

Then you need 4 pities to be enough for 4 of those characters

[vernal glade]

We are due for another VA.

[tardy fiber]

Yep most likely as we got paulo interlude this month

They usually release Paulo continuation on month before next VA

[compact pasture]

The datamine’s most likely on the 26th?

[vernal glade]

That’s the earliest.

[oak crest]

hopefully

[vernal glade]

The latest is the end of the month, the last day.

[oak crest]

anything later equates to the dry period not ending until we get update...

[tardy fiber]

Hopefully because ssmorty released on 28th april last year, so probably this year is the same...so 26 or earlier might be good

[cunning swan]

That was an agonizing wait

[gusty wadi]

thanks guys

[cunning swan]

If Lance gets variety I will flip

He deserves better

[mental skiff]

He deserve better make him 2 variety scout

🫶🥹

[untold tide]

I have 1.5 pities rn

I'm skipping lussamine btw

[mental skiff]

I have 0.5 pity

[tardy fiber]

Yep but its better than no news at all...i love some teasers

[vernal glade]

I’m just waiting for the EBE gems next month.

[oak crest]

hopefully gladion gets an alt

his sis and mom all has alt but he only has that gen pool pair

☠️

[vernal glade]

I’m sure he will, that boy needs an alt, the only aether family without one.

Besides, he’s a possibility for lodge also.

However there’s only 3 Pokémon’s I can think of for lodge gladion.

[untold tide]

hopefully next lodge

is gen pool

alts don't unlock lodge

which is sadge

[hasty umbra]

are you done with all your available Lodge pairs?

[vernal glade]

I’m only missing one more, but it’s optional for me.

[oak crest]

existing 1 yes

got 4 locked tho

might consider pulling when the pool has grown really big next time

[mental skiff]

I just :v finish all lodge and make marnie reach 1000 nothing to do much...

[oak crest]

assuming they dont remove the old 1s next time

[untold tide]

not yet, still have blue and silver and elesa and rosa and...
but still, pain to not be able to talk to cynthia or steven

[vernal glade]

||I rather not spend 36.6k for raihan just for rewards||

[untold tide]

even though I have alts of both

[oak crest]

i might if they release a lodge pair with a fave mon

[mental skiff]

Better option is wait for his triple banner

[untold tide]

steven cynthia etc is limited right

or are they gen pool

I doubt they are

[vernal glade]

Always limited.

[mental skiff]

Limited

[vernal glade]

Same as N and his alts.

[oak crest]

if they allow unlocks if you got their alts I probably will have less chars that are locked

[mental skiff]

Probably no one will roll monthly banner

[untold tide]

no one but whales

[vernal glade]

I rather save for a fav tho.

[mental skiff]

I have to combat the urge to collect lodge

i just invest in Perserker to replace Raihan

[tardy fiber]

I wont pull lodge banner unless they release lodge gladion type null or victor kubfu or other faves

[mental skiff]

You are pretty much safe from lodge

[vernal glade]

Same for me. ||Until someone brings a Zorua/Zoroark/Riolu or Lucario to lodge||

[tardy fiber]

Lodge lucas phione

[sly breach]

Final gem count. Getting them used tomorrow

[fallen stirrup]

Current scout or desire plan

not all of it is accurate and could using some modifying but thats the general aim for now

zone and best possible monotype are pretty much the same level except monotype is a tiny bit higher in desire

[sturdy hatch]

Those are all ones you don't have?

[mental skiff]

Gonna be a long journey to get all cynthia

and no spotlight go find some ticket this VA

[tardy fiber]

Thats a lot of reruns

[fallen stirrup]

No I have ss cynthia, cynthia, hop, and lucas out of my favs

Lusamine and gladdion are general pool so eventually will get them

The lati twins and neo marnie are cross off leaving the rest to go get

Im torn for going for sc steven right now but datamine and LuSSa are holding me off right now

[lapis pine]

I think that’s a bad favs list

I don’t think the units in your “make the best monotype teams” category should even be considered as pulling options

Because at that point it’s not a favs list it’s a meta chart

In the same way the enabler tier is also just the meta hybrid units

[topaz compass]

Just call it a wish list instead of faves list if your goal is meta

[lapis pine]

You should be saving for the units at the top, not struggling to decide between ss lusa, who is a fav, and SC Steven, who is only desirable because they are a good enabler (which more will come)

Eventually your favs will come as enabler units or meta strikers and then you’ll be sitting there not using units you spent a whole pity on because a newer unit that you actually like came out that fits the same role

[topaz compass]

We made it to datamine week! Too bad we probably waiting until friday

[lapis pine]

Surely not Friday

I’m expecting Wednesday or Thursday

[upbeat lotus]

the special login bonuses end on 2 days, so im expecting Thursday

its not guaranteed tho

[topaz compass]

Oh the end of login bonus is often a good indicator.

[violet nebula]

Dev letter will likely drip before that

But 2 days left of login bonus, Thursday is a solid shout

[fallen stirrup]

Of course it shouldn’t but they are there because they are a stupid irrational improbable goal that I wanted when I started to have a functional monotype team for everytype. The top 3 tiers overwhelm everything else hell sc steven is only even being considered is that LuSSa stays for another month but tbh im not gonna go for him in the end. Units to bring my fav to full potential honestly should be named my excuse to run my favorites in everything I can

It not a favorite list but mostly a desire list

[mental skiff]

What month does sc usually rerun

i dunno if i should continue chasing sc lilie and sc hilda, sc diantha or not

[tardy fiber]

Hard, last time pokewar rerun 2 months earlier than the date it supposed to if its like seasonals...but tea party sc reruns in a year

Scrosa not sure, no clue to make assumptions

[mental skiff]

give up....

Hope we have sc select 3k paid gems this anni

[fallen stirrup]

What was the last select last anni?

[oak crest]

you gonna have to commit a pity to old SC chars as their rerun rates are worse than MF rates... if you are not willing to commit a pity it probably is best to not chase after them...

[mental skiff]

2 pokefair 5k and 1 seasonal 3k

[tardy fiber]

Also its a man made season, so not sure how it will rerun for the second time...its not like other seasonals like new years/fall/holiday that will rerun each time the season arrives

[mental skiff]

Goodbye sc lilie

[tardy fiber]

Like not sure if tea party sc will rerun next year, as it isn't really a spring seasonal

[upbeat lotus]

last anni (3.5) didnt have any selects

[mental skiff]

I thought they asked about 3.0 anni tho

[fallen stirrup]

Probably should had been more clear and mention 3.0 anni

[oak crest]

would be great if they do another seasonal select for sure...

altho the seasonal pool now is pretty big

[mental skiff]

Gonna go to 3% this christmas if they want to sell anything

[tardy fiber]

I still not yet 3/5 my fall iris as im waiting for seasonal select...last anniv seasonal select got almost every seasonal units

[mental skiff]

i will cry if that select wont come

still need summer marnie

[lapis pine]

I feel like we’ll eventually get SC selects too

But maybe that’s just hopium

[tardy fiber]

Hope they rerun ScRosa event, if not, Naomi will be the next Jessie and James

[mental skiff]

i kinda like that tho because i had Naomi

But sc rose rerun kinda weird since she is alone

[tardy fiber]

But at least sc is not related to any seasons so they can appear whenever but it will be hard, as you need pity at all times

[hearty blaze]

very late but I would whale for mallow alts, but honestly I doubt any of the Alolan friends will get alts, especially with the guaranteed Protags + Blonde Girls.

We ❤️ Poco

The entire SC Rosa event was very weird

Like why was she even a SC

[tough oriole]

Cuz sygna suits are supposed to have some design inspiration off of their partner

[tough oriole]

That’s fair, but being prepared is always nice

[grim plover]

34.8k gems ready for gladion

and im willing to buy the coin streak if theres alolan red/blue in the alola VA

[mental skiff]

cant wait till tomorrow

[placid token]

currently at 15k gems, going strong

[untold tide]

I can't wait for tomorrow

pomas day!

dev letter maybe

[robust shore]

pomas day is exciting

datamine is closer than ever, hang in there everyone

[hearty blaze]

Yea i keep trying to rebuild but I may take a break

[hearty blaze]

Ohh ok

Isn’t Roxanne getting EX tmrw

So hype

[topaz compass]

Poma day is less exciting withoit new grids. Still the best "empty" day there is every month though

[rare swan]

Roxanne EX 😌 finally

[violet nebula]

It is still not justice enough for her though

[hearty blaze]

she’s my OG defense buffer

her Archie may 🫡

[cunning swan]

[vernal glade]

Next reset 1 more

[compact pasture]

Dev letter Hopium?

[vernal glade]

It’s a 50/50 but hopefully.

[feral vale]

Roxanne EX

[mental skiff]

Truly a gift

[fallen path]

[topaz compass]

I am very confident there will NOT be a dev letter tomorrow because teasing next month units while starting rerun of Necrozma MF seems not smart for them

[violet nebula]

Well then... how about... datamine

[winged fossil]

How bad is it to miss daily mission rewards sometimes, as long as I keep up with events is it fine

[mental skiff]

they will tease a psychic zone unit

[sly breach]

Wait wrong post

[winged fossil]

Adjusting to new lifestyle from the move

[timber wren]

they still haven’t even teased lusamine rerun on their socials yet

[untold tide]

Irl is more important than measly 80 gems

Worst case scenario you can treat yourself to a 3 dollar monthly bundle

To recover those measly gems

[winged fossil]

Thanks. I’m trying to be more physically and socially active here in my new home. Trying to turn around my life to be healthier than I ended up at the last home since the move being such a struggle was a wake up call to me that I had gotten out of shape from lack of exercise and such.

Even started using my quest 2 again daily past few days for exercise

[untold tide]

unless you live in a country where 3 dollars is a week's worth of wages, this should "make up" for it anyways

I wonder if brazillians can afford the daily bundle

[grim plover]

it's weird that they haven't mention necrozma's rerun yet

we could have a dev letter introducing them

[winged fossil]

I’m in NC now, moved states to get closer to moms sister and be in a more healthy environment, health mental and economy wise

Basically trying to correct for the past few years going wrong

We could be getting dev letter this reset right since poma day?

[grim plover]

i think is possible

[vale ivy]

ive skipped some dailies too, its not a lot of gems tbh

[grim plover]

but its weird that there's no lusamine event

[vale ivy]

for 30 days, its nearly 3k gems?

thats like 10-12% of total income or so

[hard wave]

They could tease the ones that r meh and conceal the most popular ones maybe

[vale ivy]

people who dont want lussa that much will wait till datamine anyway tbh

[violet nebula]

If you have the others psychics, Lussa can be skipped unless of course

Absolute 100% fave

[topaz compass]

Having Lussa is why I skipped Deoxys and would skip him again unless split banner

[hard wave]

I do want lussa alot so I hope next month is skippable hopefully they do 2nd MF reruns incase I cant get her

[vernal glade]

I hope next month be easy for me.

[hard wave]

Same I could rlly use some time to save

[vernal glade]

||But if there’s a zeraora, I’m only going for 1 copy this’ll help save my gems for N alt number 6.||

[mental skiff]

Lussamine x Nihilego, Lilie x Alolan Ninetail, Lilie x Magearna i will take one out of three if no one then i can saving gems for summer

[hard wave]

I want zeraora or dawn wings which may be likely

[winged fossil]

aside from daily login and standard daily missions are there any daily-exclusive missions today

and the daily shop

[mental skiff]

Daily login 200 gems and 100 from daily mission+bundle. I dunno where i get extra 100 gems

[topaz compass]

I'm pretty confident we can get those first 2

[mental skiff]

one is enough for me (no gems stage)

[hard wave]

A9 and magearna would be cool with lillie but they r related to anime lillie, not mainline lillie so it may not be likely

[mental skiff]

Mainline lilie has 3 pokemon and nebby

[hard wave]

Yeah clefairy ribombee and comfey

Lunala is the nebby u get at the lake of the moone/sunne

So unless they do a hilbert (reveals she has a necrozma and fuses it with elio/selene’s lunala/solgaleo) in the alola VA she prob wont have nebby

[mental skiff]

They will just make up pokemon

[woeful bolt]

Hello

I'm tempted to spend my paid gems on the SC paid scouts

Are they rly good units ?

I don't even like the characters but I like Lillie outfit and the pokemons

[feral vale]

I say wait for datamine first since it is close

[woeful bolt]

• long time no pull

[feral vale]

Also this thread is more of a “Save a pity, get your favs” kind of thing and that’s it

[woeful bolt]

paid gems tho

[hard wave]

10k is alot less than 36.6k

[violet nebula]

Wait a few more days

[hard wave]

But like annie said wait for datamine

[topaz compass]

Well unless you buy more paid every month, they still limited resource

[violet nebula]

Paid gems or not

[hard wave]

True

[topaz compass]

If you have 0 of the SC units it is good "value" but since it sounds like you don't have a ton of gems overall I'd say skip

[woeful bolt]

u're right

but sc lillie

ye no nvm, I'm gonna stay strong

[fallen path]

tomorrow is pomas day, so we're close

wait it out

[violet nebula]

Dev letter likely heck, mayhaps the datamine itself

[vestal leaf]

If you mean the quad, unless you're really sold on two of the four units, I really wouldn't recommend it

Its a very big investment for most players

And it doesn't really pay off imo

[wind jay]

woohoo almost 19k

[rare swan]

[lapis pine]

Definitely delete this

We don’t talk about pulls here

[rare swan]

As Pinkie said, either put the talk of pulling under spoiler tags or delete it

We try to keep this a safe space for people trying to save, even if it's paid gems

[winged fossil]

if you are going to talk about pulls, spoiler it. at the very least about who or what.

generally most unit names (aside from like, non-limiteds / story) get spoilered here tmk

[tardy fiber]

This reset and reset after have big gems

[robust shore]

i think i should hit 30k tomorrow

if not then definitely the day after

[wispy cedar]

Gem update before Pokémon Masters day

[rare swan]

Datamine right around the corner....

[grim plover]

preparing my fav list before the datamine

[maiden kayak]

i think u can scrape reg pool units imo

u will get it eventually anyways

[grim plover]

ah yeah, but i meant the characters getting an alt, not necessarily those specific units.

[tough oriole]

If you want to make a list based around characters there’s this

https://tiermaker.com/create/pokmon-masters-ex-151706

[sturdy hatch]

Hey you! PMEX player! Have you done Battle Villa yet?

[tough oriole]

They won’t respond until <t:1682402340:t>

[sturdy hatch]

Also last day for Pasio CS, although no gems there

[tough oriole]

There are gems

The and are replaced with gems from the stage itself

[sturdy hatch]

[hard wave]

Its 700 gems, 400 from the e4 and 300 from serena iirc

[winged fossil]

why am i having a gut feeling that skipping || || for a second time is the right play all the sudden. the night of her coming.

like, shes a fav but...why do i have a feeling 2+ favs are coming

[tough oriole]

||That would make sense, since alola va is soon||

[sturdy hatch]

||MOAR LILLIES||

[winged fossil]

it feels really bad skipping a MF fav but... VAs tend to be 2+ new MFs these days right...or is that only around anni timeframe...

[tough oriole]

It’s only around certain timeframes: Winter Holidays, Anni/Half Anni, and June

[sturdy hatch]

Don't forget the banner will last a month

[tough oriole]

Alola VA probably cuts into the June timeframe (Weather Duo/SS Johtrio)

[summer goblet]

Now I'm praying for an SC Steven dallies badly

my bet is def going wrong so badly that I will have to skip SC Steven with my f2p gems

[vernal glade]

||and besides, you’re trying to save for Zoroark after all.||

[summer goblet]

sure, that can work

[vernal glade]

No that’s a reply for rhythm.

[summer goblet]

oh oops

[vernal glade]

||As for me tho, I have no Alola fav besides a single mythical so Alola VA be very easy for me to save.||

[hearty blaze]

Me when Roxanne ex

I hope we get Lusa-Family alts for VA so they can be skips

The new Alola Va units should be here for at least a month right?

[vernal glade]

VA units stays for a month I believe

Let me check Bulbapedia to make sure that correct

They sometimes make VA units a month. So not always.

[hearty blaze]

O Damn

[compact pasture]

Are they masterfairs?

[rustic heron]

it doesn’t look like it

if they were then it’d say

like it does for ss lusa

[hearty blaze]

Yeah most likely Pokefairs

[grim plover]

yeah, the mf are in june

[hearty blaze]

they would prob hype it up more too if it were MF

But ya never know w them

I could imagine them just randomly dropping some new units that weren’t in datamine

[deft glen]

|| Mina looks... cute || but probably skip idk

[hearty blaze]

Make everyone paranoid for the rest of time that their fav would be rando dropped

[untold tide]

Nooo my lillie alt dreams!

[tardy fiber]

Nice my savings paid off ||thanks DeNa for giving me elec and fairy coverage||

[untold tide]

But eh I suppose fairy coverage is nice

[tardy fiber]

Im glad that i skip sswally...he having both zone and rebuff does give strong temptation but gardevoir aint a fave

Loyal to faves paid off

[hard wave]

Think ill be going for lussa I have ss wally and volkner + ash is enough for me

[vernal glade]

||I don’t have fairy zone but I rather save completely next month.||

Even if I can’t beat Alola EBE.

[summer goblet]

hmm, there is a chance that i could skip all my Alola VA on another dumb bet again

if my first bet goes through of course lol

[tardy fiber]

Probably can use Hau to do Ss Hau EBE both alola electric

[deft glen]

I wanna see if there's a Part 2 in this update

[smoky stratus]

no ones a fav

[untold tide]

I'm skipping hau

[smoky stratus]

no ones got anything especially unique

[deft glen]

Selene and Lillie

[untold tide]

But I'll consider mina

[tough oriole]

||Could be physical ||

[untold tide]

[vernal glade]

||Welp, Gladion time ||

[tardy fiber]

Bp soph lets goo

[smoky stratus]

gladion

haha

[summer goblet]

ah yes, i notice

my fav has finally come

what the heck tonight

am I'm dreaming

[vernal glade]

Maybe I should bring an off region electric terrain unit.

[oak crest]

mans destroyed 2.5k elec weak this week for me

[tardy fiber]

Guys help retweet, i want those gems

[summer goblet]

hmm, I wonder

if I skip my first fav SC Steven

maybe it will save up my gems for SS Hau

gotta make an executive decision of course

[oak crest]

oh they teasing new units alrd

maybe datamine is later i hope

[rare swan]

Congrats to anyone with Hau or Mina as a fave!

[smoky stratus]

i mean realisitcally we dont need terrain right?

surely not

for the ebe i mean

[hard wave]

Ofc u do

[hasty umbra]

either zone or terrain will 100% be a gimmick

[tardy fiber]

But mine is Tapu Koko and Tapu Fini as faves

[summer goblet]

i'll take another fairy zone unit

[hasty umbra]

well, both have it, so good luck!

[sturdy hatch]

We don't know. We'll find out.

[oak crest]

if Fini is a decent fairy dps I might get her if I like her kit

sames goes to the other

[hasty umbra]

Fini is a support

so don't count on that

[oak crest]

oh

[tardy fiber]

I hope the EBE also boost MC well if they boost Solgaleo

[smoky stratus]

yeah thats how they wont powercreep wally i think

which is a good thing

[tough oriole]

It’s possible they’ll do something like what they did with SS Kris where her EB also was good for Ethan

[oak crest]

support I have diff expectation on the kit ig

[vernal glade]

||the only unit I have that can get rid of zone is SC Lillie and her 5% ghost zone ||

[oak crest]

also same rule for me, if i liked the kit i will go for it

[smoky stratus]

what are the zone changers for alola

[oak crest]

SC Lillie... not 100% tho

[smoky stratus]

thats it?

[vernal glade]

Ya she’s the only one.

[hard wave]

Yeah

[smoky stratus]

well shiiiii

[vernal glade]

5% chance

[hard wave]

I hope fairy and electric is boosted

[oak crest]

might have to use an off-region unit

[hard wave]

Can use ss wally and ash

[smoky stratus]

i think it has to be

[vernal glade]

Yes please.

[smoky stratus]

because alola is pretty small

and if its FAIRY weak

well

yeah

[vernal glade]

Well we gonna have to use Comfey

[smoky stratus]

or gladion

[oak crest]

fairy is generally pretty small for all regions

[smoky stratus]

[vernal glade]

But ya good luck for f2p players on EBE if zone is indeed gimmick.

[tough oriole]

Also reminder to do Regirock missions everyone!

[smoky stratus]

well technically i am f2p but i know what you mean

wait is regirock due today?

fck

gimme a sec

[tough oriole]

Today’s the last day

[tardy fiber]

And later Cresselia LA, DeNa testing waters to see if they should make Cresselia gauntlet

[smoky stratus]

oh apparently i finished it already

kek

[vale ivy]

Do we know role of hau mina yet

[hard wave]

Hau tech mina support

[vale ivy]

Thanks

[hard wave]

They mention it in the trailer

[timber wren]

reminder to keep general discussion to #poma-lounge

[oak crest]

technically we have more units(altho most are limited) now that can rob/delete enemy buffs compared to the past

the twitter rally is also a sign that the gems drought period will finally be over

the 2nd half of april was horrible

[tardy fiber]

Yep, i already did my 3 streaks cresselia teams in my presets...so bring it on DeNa

[deft glen]

saving more gems

[tardy fiber]

So high chance that Datamine is today?

[oak crest]

think there is a good chance hopefully

[vernal glade]

I think so

[timber wren]

i checked the count with chest this morning and we’ve only collected around 20k since the beginning of april

[tardy fiber]

Woohoo i can wait for it while eating my lunch

[oak crest]

2nd half alone was less than 10k

the first half was still fine

luckily it was a skip month

[hard wave]

A whole week was dead and then the first thing we got was trainer files

[topaz compass]

Tapu Fini better get zone extension or rebuff because zone on entry or sync is pretty useless imo when we have SS Wally

[deft glen]

I'm usually sleeping when the update drops, at least I wake up with a lot of things compiled lol

[hard wave]

For me it wasnt bcz of reruns luckily seems like next month is a skip in terms of new pairs

[topaz compass]

We might not actually get datamine until 26th though

[summer goblet]

well, my path to 400k gems will have to wait a while

[deft glen]

zone extension at 5/5

[tough oriole]

||You’re pulling?||

[topaz compass]

Since new unit releases 28th it isn't a sure thing for datamine tonight
