Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[hard wave]

Nice, tho cyruss is a paid banner

[winged fossil]

From summary. No select word

[hard wave]

Luckily u should be able to get them since cynthia will be for next month

[winged fossil]

They usually have select in name if it was one

[vernal glade]

Well we shall see in 8 days then.

[winged fossil]

Will be surprised if it is one

[hard wave]

Maybe but its a select in absol’s pastebin

[winged fossil]

Strange

Ig we’ll see in a few days for sure

[sturdy flower]

aaaand here we go

[untold tide]

reading speculation it might be because it's branded as a celebration banner, hence no select in name even if actually selectable (but might be hopium)

[hard wave]

Also why would they make a guaranteed banner for 3k free gems

[untold tide]

can anyone check last year's banner name for ss morty?

[untold tide]

it's paid and I know that

[hard wave]

Ik

Im saying if it why would they make a select scout that u can use free gems on

Since rhythm was saying its guaranteed ≠ select

[winged fossil]

The thing is, they used the words guaranteed paid

In dev letter

[hard wave]

Well thats just a select

Oh wait nvm nvm

[winged fossil]

If it’s select then enjoy your cyruss but either way I’m not getting it bc I don’t do paid gems atm. Especially since tight economic wise rn

[hard wave]

Same, staying f2p

[winged fossil]

They never stated in letter we pick one so I am just thinking select would be till it drops to me

Cause we’ve seen paid guarantee before

[hard wave]

Would suck if its not a select cuz u would just get a random one

[winged fossil]

Yeah

Just read the grid. I think I’m going to wait till coin count till I decide on candy or not

|| grid sounds like it’s on type and -acc for the nuke||

@lofty relic

[lofty relic]

AYYY

[robust shore]

oh sweet

[oak crest]

i was looking at koko... grid was ok... until I saw, no fairy wish TM MPR

[robust shore]

im pretty much going to double my current gem count, lets go

[untold tide]

Oh no

29k

[winged fossil]

Oh cool right on time

[untold tide]

I thought people were saying VA is always >30k

[winged fossil]

29 isn’t that bad

[oak crest]

wow

14 support coins

[oak crest]

im guessing next month CS rewards is support coins

[vestal leaf]

Just realized

No ilima nor ryuki

[winged fossil]

We are short like an event for that but 29 isn’t terrible at all

It’s a one month va it’s looking like so

Not surprised

They’re holding back gems for junes mf

[sweet tide]

it shld have been but the RT rally gems come in only on 29 may which is beyond my cut off date so 🤷‍♂️

[untold tide]

Good point I suppose

[sweet tide]

29k is literally 30k come on lmao

[oak crest]

sadly this month's unit are underwhelming for me... was expecting more from Alola VA ☠️

[robust shore]

its 200 short of 30k lol

[untold tide]

I was banking on having a full pity haha

[robust shore]

everyone relax

[timber wren]

those candy coins lookin nice

[untold tide]

Something like...33k or sth

[timber wren]

ty as always tlim

[untold tide]

Alas

But yeah thanks for the effort

I guess with the rally

[robust shore]

thank you again!!

[untold tide]

It is 32k

[winged fossil]

We just haven’t had one without a new mf in a while I think

[timber wren]

keep in mind that these new PFs all last beyond the next update, and we’ve previously had multiple MFs in June

[hearty blaze]

me when gem count is good 🎉🎉

at least one new unit or more gems in the bank!?

[cunning swan]

Amazing

Thanks for the hard work as always, Tlim

[untold tide]

Sometimes I forget that we can get characters below the pity

[winged fossil]

I’m just glad to be -1 fav in only a few thousand. I wonder if June will be a new fav or not

[vernal glade]

Nice I be at 182k next month.

[untold tide]

My brain just thinks 36.6k is absolute

[winged fossil]

Doesn’t look like junes will be directly va related so wonder who it could be. Next nc units?

[oak crest]

maybe alola NC

[hard wave]

Use it to save

[oak crest]

yeah, not pulling

[hard wave]

I should be at like 33-34k by the end of this month

[oak crest]

will hit 6th pity by the time the next mine drops

[hard wave]

Its nice to have a skip month sometimes

[oak crest]

might have went for koko if it has fairy wish mpr but nah it doesnt have it at all

[cunning swan]

Keep thinking that way so you get pleasantly surprised if you get the unit before pity

[oak crest]

dont feel its worth investing

[sweet tide]

just PSA the RT rally gems are NOT included in this. they come in on the 29 may, my cut off is 28. so the 3k from RT rally will be accounted for in V2.33

[untold tide]

True but realistically speaking 33k has a good chance to nab one character, but my brain registers it as 0 kekw

I totally get what you mean tho

[winged fossil]

I’ll prob be around the 1.5 pity amount after this month. Which should be a healthy spot for my goals

[untold tide]

Yeah we got it, the datamine summary also noted it down
Thanks for the effort

[winged fossil]

Glad I finally had someone generous to my gems.

[hard wave]

Grassy terrain and sun would be nice but ill just wait for ss morty, dont think ill need grassy terrain

[cunning swan]

Grassy terrain and sun is nice but the character and pokemon don't appeal to me so I'll keep waiting for ss morty rerun

[hard wave]

Same, should be at 1 pity tho since rally isnt counted

Tho I wonder why it comes so late since its a 1 month VA?

[sturdy flower]

i feel safe for this VA

but combo of up to 3 MF before anni and 3 MF anni

sounds scary

[sweet tide]

because likely, 29 may is the first of the 3 masterfairs in june

[sturdy flower]

then there's Galar VA which is a chill skip month or 1 unit max

[winged fossil]

I think my budget has to be zoroark +1

[mental skiff]

It is 3 part VA gems rally is distributed on 28th

[hard wave]

3 part VA???

[vernal glade]

Uhhh…

[mental skiff]

the rally give gem between 28th may to 28th june tho

[winged fossil]

Same, if I look at anything there I’m looking at ss Leon rerun which I’d be surprised if doesn’t happen. And even then not likely I’d pull

[mental skiff]

Did the gem sheet count rally gems?

[cunning swan]

It's to prepare us for whatever they're cooking in June

Remember that all four tapus last until June's datamine!

[winged fossil]

Galar didn’t have that many mons I’d want. But think corviknight could tempt me

[hard wave]

hopefully its a skip for me bcz zerena ss ethan reruns r on the horizon

[cunning swan]

No, that will be for the next update

[hard wave]

Also pokefair reruns

[cunning swan]

We should be more worried about monthly master fair reruns now I feel

[mental skiff]

oh so 29k gems and 3k rally

Nice

[vernal glade]

Well since I lost hope for zeraora, I’m possibly skipping June also.

[winged fossil]

Which big name Galar trainers are we expecting sygna for

[mental skiff]

Bea and Nessa

[cunning swan]

Gloria and victor

Also the three rivals don't have sygna suits either

[mental skiff]

[cunning swan]

And who knows, Leon might hog sygna suits the way cynthia does

A lot of possibilities!

[mental skiff]

Another marnie would be nice but i doubt

[winged fossil]

Hmm. I guess cinderace could tempt me but it’s fire I have enough fire

[hard wave]

Well I have 3 (ss ethan serena and aura cynthia) so once I get those 3 I should be good for current MFs

[mental skiff]

29k gems help me save better tho since im guarantee to get 2 pity next month

Have small fav for mina but i will wait

[winged fossil]

I think the main mf rerun i am looking for is nc Serena

[vernal glade]

I completely forgot how much pities I’ll have once I reach 182k.

[cunning swan]

I'm not waiting for any specific MF rerun, surprisingly...

Maxie and Archie tempted me when they reran but I managed to fight it

[cunning swan]

Nearly 5!

I'm at 177k myself

[mental skiff]

I just wait for kris but after seeing mina dunno if i want kris anymore

[cunning swan]

I want to get a screenshot of having 5 pities but ||probably not any time soon, Lyra will be taking those gems ||

[vernal glade]

That’s excellent, truly excellent.

[winged fossil]

Can someone link me the limited tracker

They broke +syncpairs

So can’t just view mf chart

[mental skiff]

181 alola ticket gonna have lana finally

[vernal glade]

Then I don’t have to worry about two protags coming ||SS Hilda and SS Hilbert to complete the Unova VA trio||

[winged fossil]

I might fish for with those tix ngl

Want my third copy

[mental skiff]

this month is great for me

with that amount of ticket i wont have to worry

[vernal glade]

Least I can save Alola tickets now. ||Youll be mine one day Kimono Grimsley||

[winged fossil]

Yeah we usually get a high dose of on region ticket with va

[mental skiff]

2 region im missing tho

[rotund sleet]

thank goodness it’s a fat gem month

[vernal glade]

Indeed it is, and not a single fave which is perfect.

[mental skiff]

Next month have at least 25k gems so im exactly at 2 pity 73300 gems

What great month

Update plan

Since ||ssr cynthia|| come 25th next month so kris will have chance to appear on july

1 pity for kris + 1-2 pity for Galar + 1 pity for anni unit

[fallen path]

Wow almost 30k. That’s a great gem count

[hard wave]

I should have 208 also need lana

[mental skiff]

Same

[hard wave]

I may not even use her I just want to have her in my collection plus I have enough codexes rn

[mental skiff]

dunno but i like base alola unit more than thier ss or even MF form

[hard wave]

Usually I get 200 and end up using them but rn I have 350 and only 2 water types (300 needed total, prob will get the other 150 eventually)

[mental skiff]

I still have 19 unit left to get to 140

[lean mango]

Gem count, time to save

[hard wave]

I have 2 grass, 2 water, 2 electric

[mental skiff]

[hard wave]

Grass is going to be hard cuz I need codexes for shauna too

[mental skiff]

Gonna get more on event tapu bulu

[hard wave]

Also if I get N and Gloria for lodge I need more grass electric and psychic codexes tho from reruns I want only ss dawn needs any of those

[hard wave]

thats true, same with psychic and electric

If only fini was water

[mental skiff]

[warm flint]

sorry i lied 😞

[mental skiff]

29840 tho

[lean mango]

We get some nice gem count

[fallen path]

I guess could add 3000 when it happens (hopefully), but that could be added to the data mine after this one

[mental skiff]

that make next month scarier

[lean mango]

I wonder what will be in June now

[mental skiff]

Probally 2 neo champion and lussa, lilie, gladion alt

5 new pair + 2 existed mf

[hard wave]

For half anni I had a pity and then actually had to pity, im hoping june isnt the same

[lean mango]

There better be a a UB

Hope everything in May goes quick and easy

[mental skiff]

Nihilego surely

[untold tide]

maybe bruno bug fix apologem not in datamine

can get us past 30k without rally

is cbede still bugged?

[mental skiff]

hopefully, i have to resist mina

[lean mango]

|| I'm going for only SSMina and Agatha||

Poison I love but I also hate

[mental skiff]

[lean mango]

That's 2 for the Variety board

[mental skiff]

poison maxer

[lean mango]

At least it wasn't a bat

[mental skiff]

[lean mango]

That would've lead to a deeper whole in my pocket

[mental skiff]

You can become crobat maxer tho

[lean mango]

I love Arbok tho

[mental skiff]

nice then

[earnest kiln]

||Sygna Suit Hau|| is definitely the best thing next month

[lean mango]

I just hate it goes to another variety, they just feel lazy

[hard wave]

Atleast ball guy isnt like the others

[lean mango]

I liked Ball Guy, he was good

Just the absolute audacity to intentionally not give them EX swaps at least

[hard wave]

Yeah acerola doesnt even have an EX

Well she does but no style

I thought it was just BP/Lodge pairs…. Maybe style will come later

[lean mango]

I wonder how much time it takes to color swap

[hard wave]

Same

[mental skiff]

see you guys again next datamine... Gonna stay in zen mode for whole month

[violet nebula]

Closest to a wave I could find😆

[ripe sierra]

See you next time! Stay strong in saving

[summer goblet]

if there is one feeling that i need to overcome to finally break the chains of temptation

its Master Fairs

[feral vale]

[topaz compass]

Nah MF are always worth it

Megaray is the only one that wasn't great at release

[rustic heron]

kinda sad there's no ultra beasts in this VA, but that also means another month of saving!

||still gonna HOPE for ss may in the paid scout later (why the fuck is it not a select) but other than that, not gonna spend a single gem this month||

[lean mango]

Depends on the person really

Worth is subjective especially here, I would call some MFs for me I wouldn't call worth it

[topaz compass]

Okay, they are almost always "good" units

[grim plover]

Thinking about Mina

Her sync is too cute

[shell glade]

wait it's not a select???

tf?

[fallen path]

wait what

[shell glade]

Idk some people say it isn't a select scout?

the one w/ ss cyrus

[fallen path]

u gotta be kidding me if it's not select

[shell glade]

I don't know

I have all of them except ss may

[fallen path]

we'll know when it appears i guess

[topaz compass]

It won't be if you read the dev letter. It just says guaranteed featured or something

Their better gem bundles mean nothing since they are making it all cost more and removing the good selects

[shell glade]

i'm still bitter about half anni

The only one I have at 3/5 is lear so

hope I don't get him

[shell glade]

imo the only ones worth buying is the orb bundle atm

[crisp oracle]

||Im at 72K currently, should I just hit two pities before I go for LuSSa?||

[hard wave]

Should be able to reach it this reset, might as well wait

[tardy fiber]

Oh right seeing the gem count on 28 may only has 100 gems, i guess it's still 30k plus if we complete retweet event as the 3k gems reward will be given on 28th

As ||the tapus will be gone on June 2nd|| it is a good news to me

[topaz compass]

Yeah I only do the 3k for $3. Paying $12 extra for omni move candy is not worth imo unless you want to whale

[tough oriole]

Wait they added a new masters day gem bundle

Its still worse than daily ex tho

[tardy fiber]

Yep that's why i didn't grab it

I will grab if its almost the same rate as daily orb bundle

[tough oriole]

For like middle tier spenders to whales it’ll be decent, but what does 1k gems even do

There’s the egg box stuff, but that can only be bought once

[topaz compass]

Whenever I do dailies it takes me over 10k worth of gems to get one, and it is never the best units anyway

[tardy fiber]

I think the last good bundle that i buy are both welcome Ash gem bundles...those have good rates

[topaz compass]

So I don't have a reason to go beyond the 3ks to save for 10k step ups I guess is only option outside of yearly 5k selects (if they even do those again next year)

[tough oriole]

Thankfully there’s that select thingy (or poke fair guarantee), so that’s neat for 3k

Hmm, doesn’t look like a select, only a fair guaranteed… Strange

[timber wren]

it’s slightly worse value than the yellow coin bundle

[tough oriole]

That makes it easier to skip

[topaz compass]

It's not neat it is a ripoff

If all 6 units were blaziken and darkrai tier it would be okay but half are blah

[shell glade]

i don't mind getting dupes but I have 3/5 lear

[tardy fiber]

Man, i kinda glad that i dont miss buying basic orb bundle every 20 days...other offers kinda have bad rates, and as daily orb bundle are kinda timegated as can only get 1 every 20 days, its good to be prepared for the future paid offers or if my future faves have paid tiers

[shell glade]

getting marnie would save me a candy I guess

[topaz compass]

Marnie needs grid expansion

[shell glade]

she has one already lol

[hard wave]

she already has one

[topaz compass]

Must have been mid then

[hard wave]

Since december

But yeah it wasnt great iirc

[shell glade]

she's not anni raihan tier imo

but can solo coballion

she got debuffing and crit eye on TM

and team speed buffs

[topaz compass]

I will pray for blaziken but I have 1 of all others and 0 Lear so I guess I shouldn't be too mad

[shell glade]

only one that's a loss for me is lear

so 83% chance for something useful

And a 1/6 chance for a blaziken

[tough oriole]

Imagine having any of them

[shell glade]

Lol I got alder off the event

And the rest off select scouts except for ss may and marnie

got 2/5 marnie off a drunk roll

i was trying to roll the daily

but drunk

[deft glen]

This is so disappointing, I have SS May on my rerun list and it's only 1/6 chance to get her

[topaz compass]

@shell glade as long as you have under 5/5 it will help eventually

[lapis pine]

Where’s the list of the 6 units?

[lapis pine]

Oh yeah lol scam banner

If it was a select it’d be okay but

[fallen path]

I’m still devastated after realizing it’s a 1/6 chance lol

[lapis pine]

Chance to save paid gems I guess

[rare swan]

yeah some pretty uninspired choices for a celebration banner i'm ngl

alder is literally in the LG scout later that month

[shell glade]

and was free in a event ticket

[tardy fiber]

No ssleon and sshilda in it

I guess need to wait for anniv

[shell glade]

Thankfully i have both of those

[tardy fiber]

I have both as well but i just want to save my candy by duping them to 3/5 this way...then im much closer to 3/5 all faves

Still need
Striker-ssleon 2/5, sshilda 1/5
Tech-falliris 2/5
Support-

Upcoming:
||Tech-tapu koko, Supports-tapu bulu, tapu fini, Strike-tapu lele||

[fallen path]

oh well, i guess i'll be looking forward to the EX Solgaleo + grid expansion, as well as 30k gems....maybe paid select again over summer or 4th anni..

and lodge acerola as our free unit

[tardy fiber]

I guess i could stop candying bp master units, if there's 2 new this anniv. It will be a year before they added new ones so 12 months. As we can get a rainbow ticket in 3 months plus so it will be 4 rainbow tickets before next new set so enough to 3/5 both of them before new ones appeared

[drifting oriole]

yall gotta learn to save candies

think about it like potions/elixir in some games where you end up beating the game without ever using one

[sand crown]

I'm pretty disappointed by the "guaranteed" scout as well

[drifting oriole]

Definitely not guilty of that

[hasty umbra]

well, sitting there like that they may as well be useless

[drifting oriole]

one day i'll find the right pair to use them

[hasty umbra]

right, keep telling you that

[drifting oriole]

it's just that i'm fine with 1/5, idk

my 1/5 roster is crying

[hasty umbra]

yeah, you can totally get by with every limited at that level

I don't candy anyone out of necessity, I just do it to do more interesting things

and because I just like to have every pair I pull at 3/5 if I'm able

still, not candying literally anyone is a bit extreme lol

[drifting oriole]

i'm sure there are a few units i own who can benefit from 3/5 grids

one day i'll spend some candies... one day

[shell glade]

You're def not a LG player lol

we need to 3/5 a few units for solos

lots of the recent ones get fuck all at 1/5

[drifting oriole]

Can confirm. Definitely not.

[topaz compass]

Looks like Solgaleo is going to be a tiny tiny upgrade to my 2/5 EX metagross lmao. I really want 5/5 zacian, but I'm waiting for a triple banner where he is with 2 other good units that I could go hard for all of them

[shell glade]

Def a huge upgrade to base solga as a LG player

[topaz compass]

Yeah I had my best streak of 74 last time. I wonder how close to 100 I can get this time

[drifting oriole]

i usually do a 10-12 streak and stop, too lazy. I pushed to 25ish in the first LG, that's it.
I hate RNG reset

[shell glade]

Having a usable sync and +3 crit from the first sync helps a lot w/ dos

I'm aiming for 140

[topaz compass]

I only do a clear if I can 3v1 or less, so I had alot of unused stuff

@drifting oriole 25 in the first one was better than me I had 20, then only like 12 for second with moltres

[shell glade]

last LG I hit my limit at 123 bc of the stupid fucking bird

[topaz compass]

Crazy how few weathers we had back then

[shell glade]

Pretty sure the next one is the same lineup as LG1

moltres sucks

Entei is way better

You can actually afford to take a few hits from the doggo

[drifting oriole]

the biggest problem is weather reset every half bar and not only full bar

[shell glade]

You can kinda work around it by making sure to nuke it only when the ho is near 50%

or w/ a lot more flinches

[topaz compass]

I wonder how they decide how to mix the 3 opponents. Kind of based on what their weaknesses are I guess they can't just randomize for 3 easy or 3 hard ones

[shell glade]

they've never put more than 1 status LA in a LG

[drifting oriole]

yeah but i'm lazy and i hate having to reset for good RNG.
More candies saved for me

[shell glade]

And no cresselia so far bc everyone is terrified of cress

[drifting oriole]

The 3 legends are definitely not random.

[topaz compass]

Sometimes I decide I'm definitely going to win with a certain team and take 2 hours trying 50 times. But usually I just kind of guess a not too strong team and if I win 1st or 2nd time without all 3 alive I just move on

[shell glade]

yeah sometimes you just don't have the patience for the 100% optimized teams

you wanna got for maximum streaks tho? You gotta plan ahead of time

Going for 10-20 is ok if you just wanna get it over w/ quickly I guess

I just have a lot fo things I wanna EX

and a masochistic need to torture myself

[topaz compass]

I do plan out on excel I just am not smart enough about it

I take my top 300 or so pairs and drop them into 1 of the 3 enemies 1 by 1 based on what seems best, then slowly rearrange into smaller and smaller groups, then move some over as I realize it is unbalanced

Alot of effort for only getting top 250 lol

[grand bramble]

Guyz... What's inside the 3k paid guaranteed pokefair scout?

[placid token]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/949078726228987954/1100589465166164089/1682420072081355.png

[grim plover]

Wasn't Lear there?

Ah I just saw it

[tardy fiber]

Yep, im excited for it...can put my 3/5 gloria to the bench

[grim plover]

If it's not a pickup thats horrible

I'll skip Lear again if that's the case

[tardy fiber]

Pretty sure its haymaker and furious brain will deal more damage than 3/5 gloria that have cs2 and sharp entry grid

[placid token]

it says pickup

[grand bramble]

Ohhhhhh..... That was bad......

[placid token]

so idk why it'd be otherwise

[grand bramble]

If ss morty is in here... I will prob...

[grim plover]

Yeah but I think the dev letter didn't say pickup

[placid token]

fair enough

[tardy fiber]

Dev letter said guaranteed pokefair

[grand bramble]

I don't need SS may either.... All of them... I already had

[tardy fiber]

Might get 1 at random out of 6 fair units in the pool

[vernal glade]

||I was gonna get SS Cyrus but it’s paid and I’m f2p ||

[tardy fiber]

You might get marnie or alder instead of him

[crisp oracle]

ALMOST THERE

[tardy fiber]

Can get this reset i think

There's cresselia LA

[hard wave]

Yeah 1250 gems this reset

100 dailies, 150 login bonus, 1000 cresselia LA

[topaz compass]

It is guaranteed in that you are guaranteed a 5star in the 100 paid gem PMEX every month. If all 11 rolls in the multi fail then ut converts the 11th into one

[tardy fiber]

For the fair? It says guarantees one featured fair-exclusive sync pair...so guaranteed to get 1/6 ...so its random between lear, marnie, alder, ssmay, sscyrus, lance

[tough oriole]

That is false. The 11th pair is always a 5* sync pair, regardless of what the first 10 are

[topaz compass]

I don't think so @tough oriole

In the 100 paid gem pull for master's day you don't get a 5star on the 11th pull everytime

[tough oriole]

Can you give an example

[hasty umbra]

Except you literally do

It's always that one

Even if you get several 5* pairs in it, the last one is always the guaranteed

Multi pulls are still each individual rolls

What happens with one will not affect the others whatsoever

[cobalt frost]

okay im skipping may

still sucks that i will miss detective steven but

there aint no way im getting it in 2 multis

[wind nymph]

another day another k

[broken mulch]

Oh huh

Didn’t expect May to actually be fat

Gonna hit two pities when May ends yay

[compact pasture]

How many gems is 3 pities?

[hasty umbra]

see your nickname

that's the answer

[compact pasture]

Oh

[hasty umbra]

well, almost, it's 109.8k

[tardy fiber]

101890 gems, i guess i only manage to get to 102k gems before May's stuff starts.

[cobalt frost]

i think i will be near a pity by next datamine

so that'll be good to start out saving

ss hau is the most wanted out of all units this villain arc but like, i already have all its niches filled

outside of like speed debuffing but who tf cares about speed debuffing

i never really use units that rely on debuff multipliers so like

[tardy fiber]

Well his electroweb has 110 bp so it is kinda cool, way more than Clemont

Oh right also doubled in fairy zone

[cobalt frost]

its something that'd appeal more to me once i have actual gems to spare, its up there but not enough to make me pull for at the moment, maybe a rerun

[tardy fiber]

Yep hopefully anniv have fair select and i also hope that DeNa will upgrade the select to be like recent seasonal select in which it have almost all seasonal units

I hope they make fair select that have bunch of choices and allows to buy it more than one

[cobalt frost]

one thing i hope they start doing with Christmas 2023 is just do a single free scout of the ancient ones from 2019

they do a couple of free pokefairs like twice a year so that'd be nice

[tardy fiber]

I hope to be able to claim Steven on the next free pokefair

[cobalt frost]

I've gone for Steven and Iris on my 2 pokefairs so far

Cynthia was really tempting second time around due to lodge but eh Iris is cooler

[cobalt frost]

its like, i dont believe theres a big enough audience of people who'd want to spend insane amounts on these ancient seasonals units anymore

[tardy fiber]

I do hate what DeNa do to seasonal rerun, like those who want holiday jasmine will need to get her in very low rate...i wonder if the rate in xmas rerun banner already close to lodge banner rate

[cobalt frost]

people wouldnt pity on the christmas rerun and out of all the units, pick christmas siebold

xmas rerun banner 2023 will probably be 0.25% chance

like atleast seperate them into multiple banners

or even increase the featured rate

from just 2%

to like 3% or 4%

unrelated, but a funny thing that happened with masters day this year

they gave out a free set of fire gear
1 of my fire gear i didnt get all 5 of originally
and i accidentally exchanged it lmao

[topaz compass]

@hasty umbra if you don't get any 5star in 1 through 10 then you get as 11th. But if you get 1 in first 10 then the "pity" doesn't need to kick in so last isn't always

[upbeat lotus]

the 11th pull is always 5*

if you are talking about guaranteed scouts

[topaz compass]

Guess I have to start documenting every month

OK I found my fevruary master's day screenshot. I got a 5star earlier on the pull and so it did not give me in 10th slot

[upbeat lotus]

thats 10 pulls scout...

[topaz compass]

It still is a guaranteed scenario

[upbeat lotus]

and its not guaranteed to get 5*

[topaz compass]

The paid one is guaranteed

[upbeat lotus]

there was no paid banner also

you are mixing things up dude

[topaz compass]

What do you mean? There is a paid and a free every masters day

[upbeat lotus]

look at the top right

its a ticket

that means it was not PMD scout

[topaz compass]

Ok my bad that was anni

My Jan screenshots I can't tell which is the guaranteed vs free

[upbeat lotus]

the right one is guaranteed

[robust shore]

Gen update! 6k more until pity!

[warm flint]

doesn’t the guaranteed always have the 5* at the end of the multi

[deft glen]

It does

[slow hare]

What would we do without Jass

If not for him I wouldn't be able to check how many gems left

[upbeat lotus]

Jass already updated the gem count in their name

[sly breach]

Let me try something

How i thought only mods could use it outside bot zone

[cunning swan]

It can be used in forums for a while now

[junior trout]

what is the prompt here

[rare swan]

/ pair

[tough oriole]

Haunter makes gengar show up

[topaz compass]

But not this guy Hau-dy ho!

[compact pasture]

[junior trout]

ye i meant moreso, what specific things to bring up those pairs
i cant figure out the thing(s) that apply to all of them

sorry for ping

oh it doesnt even show all the pairs now 😔 nvm

[tough oriole]

/ search?

[junior trout]

ooo

[feral vale]

Ye you can see what someone inputted

[crisp oracle]

Two pities!

||now time for LuSSa to take one||

[topaz compass]

Nice making it exact lol

[crisp oracle]

||And LuSSa took a pity, I now have 37,000 gems for SSR if I want her||

[feral vale]

You totally jinxed it there

[crisp oracle]

Time to wait for potential Lillie Alt

[maiden kayak]

wow

almost 30k gems this month

does that include rally 3k?

[feral vale]

Does not

[tough oriole]

In before we don’t hit the retweet amount

[maiden kayak]

ohhh

33k

[vernal glade]

So almost a full pity month.

[rustic heron]

no way we don’t make the RT amount

[tardy fiber]

I already retweeted both posts so i cannot help much

[tough oriole]

Same

[hard wave]

Forgot to rt the japanese one

[vernal glade]

I haven’t RT

[chrome nest]

I don’t even have twitter

[vernal glade]

I don’t RT games on twitter.

[tardy fiber]

I need to collect gems till 2nd June, well maybe 1st June if they are gone by the 2nd

[chrome nest]

I’m saving up for anni and galar villain arc

[tardy fiber]

I made another twitter account that's just to retweet my games

Any games that i have to tweet, all using that account

[tough oriole]

Do retweets from private accounts also count?

[chrome nest]

Also now that master fairs rerun more often that means more chances to snipe out galarian articuno

[tough oriole]

Hopefully anni MFs don’t just never appear

Idt that will happen tho since 2nd yr anni reran in December/Jan

[hard wave]

Its prob 1 per month tho going by that timeframe he could be march-june 2024

[tardy fiber]

Like certain games i need to post on Facebook...i change the post view to Only Me to not disturb others

[tough oriole]

Thank goodness poma doesn’t make us use facebook

[chrome nest]

It seems to be at random I think

[hard wave]

Luckily the ones I want r zerena ethan and aura cynthia so I should get them this yr

[tough oriole]

We’d never hit the repost goal

[chrome nest]

Or it’s going by release order

So if it’s release order next one is zerena

[tough oriole]

Yeah, i had to wait over a hear for my mf faves to rerun, but that’ll be less likely for newer players

Lets see, June Zerena, July Aug Sept SS Johtrio, Nov Dec Jan for 3 yr anni? They could also do multiple around certain times like winter holidays

[tardy fiber]

I think the MF rerun will truly be on every Master's Day, well it's already 20 MF currently so it still needs a year+ for you to get your desired MF unit in rotation.

[untold tide]

was SS Lyra released first in the johtrio set? or did they come at the same time or am I going to have to endure quite a long time for ss lyra

[tardy fiber]

They could split Johtrio MF rerun to 3 months

[topaz compass]

We are filling this twitter rally faster than the last one

[tardy fiber]

Ethan then Lyra then. kris

[chrome nest]

We’ve gotten through most of them already right?

[crisp oracle]

The only master fairs left I want are both Cynthias and Johto trio

If they run every month I’m so f’ed

[chrome nest]

Yeah we gone through the first 7

[fallen path]

The master fairs during anni might not rerun till anni time unless you’re anni skyla

[vernal glade]

||I only want the Unova BW1 protags, that’s all. even summer Hilda am also waiting for N next alt to arrive, not Summer N as I already have it I mean a new N||

[tardy fiber]

They're quite clever, MF rerun in only just one day is quite a FOMO strategy...well thanks to datamine, we can prepare early but it does make you need to have pity at all times depending on how many MF rerun unit you want

Especially in dry gems month

[chrome nest]

No it’s a month

[hasty umbra]

What? The banner doesn't last a day...

[tardy fiber]

Oh really?

[untold tide]

don't spread misinfo like that

[chrome nest]

From the poma day till the next one

[untold tide]

smh

[tardy fiber]

Then no problem then

[fallen path]

It lasts until next Poma day lol

[untold tide]

you're gonna make people pull out rakes and torches

for no valid reason

[tardy fiber]

So its fine if they split johtrio MF to three months

[chrome nest]

||I got my ss lusa yesterday||

Will it be boring? Maybe

[tardy fiber]

But probably zerena first on june

[chrome nest]

But effective for new players? Absolutely

[hasty umbra]

Misinformation is as good of a reason as it gets

[tardy fiber]

Oh i just noticed, there's no EBE this month

[fallen path]

Going to have some bonus gems depending on how many interactions and lodge units you have

[topaz compass]

@chrome nest || I have pulled on necrozma and latias for psychic attackers. With musharna qnd mewtwo that is enough for 2 teams ||

[chrome nest]

Best to spoiler it

[fallen path]

You might get an extra 400 gems. Or I will anyways lol

[chrome nest]

Oh? But there’s some next month

[topaz compass]

Oh I meant in past. I meant these psychics are unnecessary

[untold tide]

still tempting people unnecessarily on the gem saving thread

is

[tardy fiber]

Nah alola VA doesn't have EBE in absol pastebin

[untold tide]

errrr

[fallen path]

If we had EBE it could have been another 1800 gems

Or wait it’s 4, so uhh add 600 to that lol

[tough oriole]

I think during winter holidays or August for example, they might put multiple MFs on Masters Day

[tardy fiber]

Yep sad, especially ||because im getting all fours||...DeNa worried if they should also add main character boost for alola VA EBE due to Solgaleo...and ended up not adding them at all

[tough oriole]

There are already a lot of gems this month so i’m glad for no eb, we have time trial instead which have been more f2p (the ss johtrio one) than most ebs

Especially since our f2p alola roster is a bit lacking

[fallen path]

Still going to have those missions for candy coin

So it’ll be tough enough

[tough oriole]

What? I didnt see a candy coin mission

[tardy fiber]

Yep time trial is f2p, its just point milestones rewards and the faster you clear the more points you get. Well if you take more time to clear just do more runs

Iirc it doesn't even use stamina

[fallen path]

No extra battles this time? We usually have those requirements

[tough oriole]

#1009557516369281075 message
Its posted here

No candy coins, just gems and skill spheres for beating them with 2x sync pairs for 10 different types

[fallen path]

Oh

[tardy fiber]

Hope they rerun prestige event, but not using old format. Change it to be like a normal event like Gloria looking for food or something and give me the Fine Diner Medal DeNa for my collection

[hard wave]

Seems like it

[hard wave]

I think they said “poma day and special occasions”

[hard wave]

Ethan 2 days later lyra 2 days later kris

[hard wave]

Gl I hope there isnt much in the upcoming months so I can go for aura cynthia ethan and zerena

[broken mulch]

Only missed MF I want is Archie

[hard wave]

There’s quite a few pokefairs I want too, and maybe new pairs so need a little luck luckily its a save month so I should have enough for zerena

May be a while

[tardy fiber]

Oh so probably on anniv as well

Seems like VA pokefairs will be rarer over time, only sscyrus reruns in this sinnoh VA rerun

Oh ssrcynthia

[hard wave]

Its not a f2p rerun

[tardy fiber]

Yep so even rarer

[hard wave]

#1006618823123800106

For how it works

[deft glen]

not even with some sort of pity smh

[tardy fiber]

If VA units don't rerun when their VA reruns, when should they rerun DeNa?

Hoenn VA rerun recently only rerun ssbrendan...ssmay and sssteven chasers in shambles

[hard wave]

I have uh red lucas ss morty dawn brendan hilbert and cyrus for VA pokefairs I want to get on a rerun yea I missed lucas red and ss brendan

Besides those just ingo and anni skyla for pokefair reruns, idk when they will rerun either tho

[tardy fiber]

Yep its hard, they just throw them anywhere plus its probably with two other units that you might not want

Thats why its important to save and get them in the first run, well i think this is true especially for seasonals as they are tossed together with old units in super seasonal scout

[hard wave]

Luckily I only want masterfairs and pokefairs

[tardy fiber]

There will be 8 units in xmas super seasonal scout this year

[hard wave]

I prefer 2-3 I do want but if idc for others and get them its free units ig

[topaz compass]

Good point on pokefairs being rarer than MF almost going forward, though some are pretty common like snorlax and some never reran like emolga

[timber wren]

they cracked the code for how to get leon in lodge with this new MF rerun pattern

[topaz compass]

Odds are they do 2 quad banners side by side. But .25% x8 would be so infuriating. Hopefully they do 0.5% x8 that would be just decent still

[hard wave]

Unfortunately I made dumb decisions for like all of 2022 so but im trying to save now

[tardy fiber]

Hope they change this soon like iirc the recent gauntlet that have ghost weak boss but DeNa doesn't want to rerun sskorrina, a ghost pokefair unit but instead keep throwing redlax

[hard wave]

[hard wave]

Maybe lower pity to 300

Or increase rate to 3%

[tardy fiber]

Like enough sscynthia rerun for latios gauntlet, why not change it to ssleon?

[hard wave]

Azelf is bug

[tardy fiber]

No its for uxie

Uxie ghost weakness

[hard wave]

Oh I thought u meant current gauntlet

[tardy fiber]

Nope just not quite old gauntlet

[hard wave]

Tho I still need redlax

[tardy fiber]

Really? Even with his dozen reruns? I think he might be a candidate in the pool for next free pokefair unit

Oh right redlax is a base pair, so he might even become lodge guest... although he will keep answering with ... .... And humph...do it DeNa

[deft glen]

they now rerun her even with latias

[tardy fiber]

Yep, pokefairs roster already grown since then...like they could just replace lysandre with anniskyla

Uxie gauntlet ghost weak from redlax to sskorrina

Entei gauntlet water weak to sslysandre or djgloria

[hard wave]

I started playing in february and didnt rlly know what I want (tho I got diantha from the banner w him and ingo, and now I want the other 2), tho lucas and gloria banner wouldve been good too since I need those 2 as well

But I only made my rerun list in like january

And then when he recently reran I was going for the masterfairs and they took alot of my gems, had to miss him lucas and brendos

[tardy fiber]

Well at least he reruns a lot so just keep you gems ready

[hard wave]

Yeah im using this month to save, tapus r cool but dont feel like pulling for them, I have raihan ss blue alder ss red and ssr cynthia already so im not chasing any reruns

|| luckily already got lussa which was the only one I wanted ||

[light oyster]

I have 26k gems and I want to scout for Ingo or Emmet so badly

but i also want to save for pity

[cunning swan]

Ingo and Emmet have a 0.5% rate each. atrocious

rather high pity chance unfortunately

[tough oriole]

Can confirm

||Took 1 pity to get one and 200~ more scout points to get the other||

[summer goblet]

Save for a pity always, its a death sentence with 0.5% as a feature unit

[sturdy plank]

started saving again

[tardy fiber]

Done with everything this reset, only manage to collect 102,130 next reset already starts with the new events iirc

[sturdy hatch]

Well you'll get 3 of them

[tardy fiber]

I can if needed...but its only if needed hope that i wont resort to that

Also 29640 gems left from the datamine...oh and additional 3k if we clear retweets

[cunning swan]

sadge, I can't reach 5 pities before Lyra leaves guess that screenshot will have to wait

[sturdy hatch]

oh yeah I should pull Lyra. Datamine and nothing better than her.

[winged fossil]

Problem is we don’t know if ash will ever rerun due to anime related deals. They’d prob have to get permission to do it

For me tho that’s honestly good cause that’s one less mf likely to compete for sc Serena rerun spot

I’ll also be more hesitant on new non master fairs until I catch up on them now that we’re getting them reran at somewhat expectable intervals

I think they said sometimes mf reruns will be tied to special events or something rather than poma day so that’d prob be like, anni and maybe certain holidays like Pokémon Day

So make sure you guys keep gems high for those types of dates if you are looking for mf reruns!

(Ofc I’m just talking speculation, but anni and Pokémon day seem likely based on how they worded in dev letter. They’re days they’d likely care extra about.)

[light oyster]

[sturdy hatch]

0.5% is odds on pity I'm pretty sure

[winged fossil]

Btw any predictions for next month based on end of month cs. How far into June is the June mf newcomer usually, historically

[sweet tide]

definitely need a steel and ice type masterfair. new masterfairs are usually the first banners to drop from the new datamine

[wind nymph]

can't believe hau's banner comes out during my birthday

[dreamy onyx]

looking at the last 2 MF batches you can expect the new MF to be any of the 5 types (fighting, steel, ghost, ice, poison)

in this datamine they added Stakataka (Steel), Blacephalon (Ghost), Nihilego (Poison) so there's a chance, or maybe shiny Lunala, Solgaleo for the 2 neo champ

[cunning swan]

oh damn this is an interesting chart

[cobalt frost]

okay if i save up i will have pity by next update
not gonna spend it at all tho

[vestal leaf]

Shiny pheromosa for fighting

[oak crest]

would have easily gone for either UBs if they were released as a pair for VA instead since I don't really have much pairs with those 3 typings...

esp poison

[tardy fiber]

Master fair poison will be nice i hope its nihilego...if its not on fave, i will skip it no matter how much meta the unit is

Kartana also steel

But no kartana model, sad

[untold tide]

Where lusamine nihilego

[drifting oriole]

This could mean both things, random guaranteed (like pkmn day) OR you can pick one of them (like pity), but obviously only one

[drifting oriole]

Nooo Poison MF would be a slap in the face, right after Emma Crobat...

[dreamy onyx]

0 Ice MF, 2 Fighting MF, 0 Poison MF, 2 Ghost MF, 0 Steel MF

[vestal leaf]

Lillie & vulpix Alola hail support MF

With ice zone because why noy

[cunning swan]

since there is no mention of "select" yet, the assumption right now is 1 guaranteed at random

[rare swan]

Let's hope we're proven wrong bc that is very silly

[tardy fiber]

I wonder if i should grab it if its select, well for lance. He might be a lodge guest in the future ...well if its guaranteed it will be a straight nope for me

[drifting oriole]

no select = gems saved

[topaz compass]

If you only want 2 of the 4 units on a quad, the tiered version is better imo because you use the pity sooner

[chrome nest]

The best way that I save is that I say “The new units suck how am I supposed to use this”

[maiden kayak]

honestly

i feel like taking a break from poma

but 30k gems tho

[chrome nest]

I want to but can’t really

[maiden kayak]

the mundane trend of the outfits

really bore the shit out of me

theres like nothing interesting

[topaz compass]

If you are bored of playing you have to just quit forever or you will just regret lost gems

[maiden kayak]

yea

thats the problem

[topaz compass]

If you decide to quit, please make a video of you blowing your 500k gems all at once for us

That would be a good way to make sure you quit forever if that is your goal

[rare swan]

it can't hurt to take a break for a week or so

you have plenty of gems

(i also don't find any of this month's outfits all that interesting, but I'm not a massive fan of the Alola style in general)

[lapis pine]

In all seriousness though missing a week or month’s gems isn’t the end of the world and if you need to take a break then that’s okay

The game is here to be enjoyed and if you’re feeling burnt out you can always pick the game up again after a break

[timber wren]

agree, i’m taking a break from one of my other gachas bc it’s been feeling more like a chore than something i enjoy playing

no shame in bailing

[tough oriole]

Especially for a person whose been saving so much for this long

[timber wren]

and if you end up missing playing it (for the right reasons, not guilt of missing resources) then you can come back

[tough oriole]

Missing a month’s gems for Aqua isn’t as bad relatively speaking to someone with a lower amount of gems

[lapis pine]

Even for someone with lower gems. Don’t force yourself to play a game that isn’t fun for you atm

[tough oriole]

It’s hard to get away at first but the fomo goes away in a short amount of time

[fallen path]

Yeah that was me with a couple games. Less time or just not playing anymore. Even with this one, I just focus on events and stuff. It’s good enough distraction from the real world to spend 15 mins unless it’s a CS reset or something

[topaz compass]

I don't play competitive games anymore because I was just always mad at myself for losing instead of feeling good when I won

[maiden kayak]

yea this

but 30k gems is really really tempting

[untold tide]

Could always just skip a few days

Play when you're feeling it

It doesn't have to be 100 or 0

It can be something in between

And a lot of the gems come from stages that stay right?

[maiden kayak]

hmm

i mean i still can put in the effort to do 5 min max per day ( as short break

not doing daily battles and shit

but

its VA

i have to do it

[fallen path]

How much per day do you usually play?

[maiden kayak]

no VA around 5 min max

and other shit i mean

VA will always be a chore for the extreme battle

since it gives region tix

i cant be missing that valuable stuff

[tardy fiber]

This VA doesn't have any EBE

Surprisingly

[maiden kayak]

no i mean the daily battle

[rare swan]

i mean, are there any alola gen pools you actually need?

[maiden kayak]

soliera in the future

[tardy fiber]

I still need 1 more lillie to 5/5

Can unlock clefairy lodge lillie frame

[fallen path]

My Lusamine is 2/5 surprisingly

You’re still going to be playing everyday aqua unless you’re okay with giving up some tickets

[tardy fiber]

But yep if you burn out can just stay away for a while...its been months since i last played genshin due to burnout

[fallen path]

Or you can just let auto do it’s thing while you do other tasks

[maiden kayak]

oh right

theres auto

completely forgotten about that

LMAO

[topaz compass]

It's not like auto logs in and selects menu options for you though

[maiden kayak]

i mean auto battle

[tardy fiber]

I'm glad PoMa has skip tickets. That things helps me a lot to not spend much time in poma

[maiden kayak]

yea

ngl

i have a strong feeling

that june is a big 3 mf

[timber wren]

not unlikely

[maiden kayak]

Celio,Cselene and Clillie

especially Lillie

which is very sus

[rare swan]

i can see that trio, yeah

or one of the protags gets shafted and it's the aether sibs + 1 protag

honestly I can see a cracked fairy/electric/grass DPS/nuke arriving to go with SS Mina/Hau/Ace etc

y'all alola fans....don't relax yet

[tardy fiber]

Hope they're not legendaries or mythicals or UBs

But Magearna Fairy, Kartana Grass, Zeraora Electric does fit

[rare swan]

exactly

[maiden kayak]

im hoping tracksuit selene with zeraora

i would be happy if its smth like this

[vale ivy]

Last CS week has poison

[maiden kayak]

that disco pokemon maybe

[tardy fiber]

I hope there's steel rebuff/zone fave in the future...||these tapus does help a lot for me in the future with their terrains/zones/weathers|| even better if paradoxes later have those boosted in sunny day passive and elec terrain passive

[sturdy flower]

tracksuit Zeraora Selene is too cool for DeNa

altho so far the outfits are great

even the Hau I don't like I have to saya his outfit is super fitting

[maiden kayak]

tapu units outfit are meh

especially that lana

should have been olivia

olivia fits more than lana

[sturdy flower]

they clearly wanted them to not be kahunas though

[tardy fiber]

Mina's and Acerola's looks like came from the same series of smmarnie and smgloria

[maiden kayak]

i think mina and acerola are just okayish

not great not bad

just that lana looks really off

[sturdy flower]

Mina got her skirt dirty

[maiden kayak]

with that outfit and her blue hair especiallt

[sturdy flower]

they didnt give her anything to look like a swimmer

[maiden kayak]

blue and pink should not even go together

its such a whack combo

theres a reason why toilets use pink and blue to diffferentiate

[tardy fiber]

Should give her swimming goggles hanging on her neck or hanging on her waist

[maiden kayak]

because its meant to be stated clearly and repelling

[sturdy flower]

i will 5/5 her anyways

[maiden kayak]

man lana is so bad in that outfit colour

[tardy fiber]

But im happy, 3 of 0 alt characters got their first alt

[maiden kayak]

same disaster as summer lyra

blue and pink whackness

but summer lyra has outline to seperate them

unlike this crap

[timber wren]

blue and pink are one of the most aesthetically pleasing color combos? to each their own ig

[sturdy flower]

i'm happy with the choices and outfits

knowing they will give MCs something 100%

even Nate

[timber wren]

they could’ve stood to give one of the women pants tho

[tardy fiber]

NC Nate terrakion and NC Rosa meloetta

[timber wren]

neither lana nor mina typically wear dresses and gap is a thing but it’s so rare we get new women alts that arent in a skirt or dress of some kind

[lapis pine]

Yeah I just think the dresses look weird on them

I liked hau’s outfit at first but it got worse over time

[tardy fiber]

I hope i can favorite MC pairs alongside with its upcoming ...the reason why i didn't filter my roster by favorites because i cannot put heart icon on my solgaleo, regirock, cobalion, mesprit

[lapis pine]

I think Mina has the coolest outfit but also she’s a character I couldn’t care for so skipping all 4

[timber wren]

i’m very stoked for mina getting an alt i like her a lot

[lapis pine]

Happy for you

Not where to talk about that

Wrong channel

Wait was that some sort of joke? They had a bunch of busted pairs all 3/5???

[earnest frost]

I must have gotten the channels mixed up

[timber wren]

lana being a physical strike could had a more martial artist type outfit similar to maylene

instead of just…a sundress

[maiden kayak]

yea rip lol

[rare swan]

yeah it doesn't suit her at all, it's a shame

i'm sorry, kalos keeps stealing all the good outfits!

[wind nymph]

lord save me when gen 9 characters come to pokemon masters I think i might have to pull for like everyone

[feral vale]

SV characters are so good…

[wind nymph]

😭 righttt

[feral vale]

Luckily I narrowed it down to like two

[cunning swan]

Felt that

But I know I'll have to be strict. I have 3 must-pulls from SV, and I think that is already dangerous considering their popularity

[cunning swan]

Yeah it's so weird. Can we get more female alts wearing pants?

I'm getting tired of dresses please

[untold tide]

To be fair, I feel like the tapus have skirt energy

Maybe when paldea comes back

[cunning swan]

When Paldea comes all the girls will wear skirts because we lack that customization option in game

[maiden kayak]

they better not give zeraora a skirt

that would be ultimate blasphemy

[vernal glade]

That is if zeraora comes.

[deft glen]

Lana was the best opportunity

[feral vale]

They could learn something from how I design my character

And I noticed one hell of a trend when it comes to the dresses on alts, and it’s kinda getting old

[timber wren]

what was the last woman alt that wasnt a dress or skirt

i think it was palesa, and then ss hilda before that

[feral vale]

SS Hilda’s was

I wanted her for her outfit and Victini, but ||I was getting N and Hilbert already||

Oh well, I’m fine waiting for a select

[tawny dagger]

Gloria

[timber wren]

so i counted out of the 20 woman alt costumes since 3rd anni three of them weren’t a skirt or dress (ss hilda ssa cynthia and pal elesa)

[feral vale]

Gloria’s was an outfit from the base game.

If you mean Dojo Gloria, that is

[feral vale]

Dang

Then we’ve got MC who doesn’t wear a skirt or dress in the first place and I’m just like “Why can’t you keep this trend going with the other outfits?”

[tough oriole]

I feel like they’ll give anabel a dress

I feel like part of her popularity is her androgynous appearance tho

Come to think of it, how many tuxedo outfits are there in game?

[hard wave]

Sawyer, looker(?), steven(?), anabel, flyhan, SS Gio(?), SS Wally, Burghepi. SCteven(?), Anni N(?), Anni Steven(?)

[light oyster]

and she rocks it

[vernal glade]

SC Steven has more of a trench coat

[tough oriole]

Strange coincidence, but I was reading the manga and ||Anabel was just like “hello I’m incredibly cool” so now she’s on my faves list ||

||Guess I’m saving for her rerun now||

[hard wave]

|| I feel like she’ll be in lodge eventually, she’s just too new rn tho ||

[tough oriole]

||She is pretty popular afaik||

[topaz compass]

Anabel is extremely unlikely to be in TL in the next couple years lol

Having just 1 limited unit, I don't think any of our current ones match that scenario

[summer goblet]

My advise if you need those 30k gems is to speed through daillies that contains gems and do the events maybe once a week or so when you have free time

[cobalt frost]

ik im late but the prestige event burnt me out for like, an entire month back in december 2020

thats the one major break i took that was voluntary

[summer goblet]

to get out of boredom and burnout, try thinking about your favs or something and make plans on how to manage them

[cobalt frost]

i dont really get bored with this game much tbh nowadays, like the closest is like: those days when ive already gotten everything i want from the current event but its still a few days from the next event so i just spend 100 stamina randomly to get the 80 daily gems

[summer goblet]

That's sounds terrifying. Even more than planing to blow all 36.4k gems on train bro rerun banner should my favourite hockey team win a playoff series for the first time ever

[broken mulch]

I mean I usually ragequit a Gacha if I ran out of gems and not get the unit haha

[tough oriole]

Thank goodness poma has a fair pity system (usually)

[summer goblet]

totally, no pity system and i'll rage quit

[summer goblet]

i'm not too close to being burn out from Pokemon Masters at all

but if my vibe is good tonight, i will perhaps write a reddit guide or somthing

[fallen path]

The casual nature helps avoid burn out for me

[tardy fiber]

One of my old game is approaching 8th year anniversary and still don't have any pity system, well there's something like a half-baked pity system but it still not guaranteed you to get which unit you want...its like a guaranteed 1 champ out of 240 champs available

Only 26.2k retweets currently

Still need another 3.8k

[tough oriole]

I spend less time playing the game and more time talking or helping people about it

Harder to get burnt out when you hardly play

[fallen path]

tbh part of the thing that brings me back is the community, it's fun to talk about the game with others so i don't get burned out that easily

[vernal glade]

I’m a launch day player and I was burnt out once back in 2020, did missed some gems back then but I did need a break on it.

[tough oriole]

Wanting to get all faves is a great goal to keep playing the game, but sometimes it can even be the cause of burnout (“i’ll never get all of my faves”)

[fallen path]

Saving gems for your fav units can sometimes be stressful

[vernal glade]

Can lead to boredom also when waiting for a fave.

[tough oriole]

And then you pull someone else in boredom, and then a fave appears

[tardy fiber]

April is like this for me but i had to stay strong and poof 4 faves in May

Luckily i stay strong

Now i have a good amount of gems saved

[fallen path]

I’m backwards saving for 4th anni

I genuinely did not know what these Pokémon were till I saw them in Pokémon Go lol

[vernal glade]

So far I been doing well to not get bored on the game.

Thanks to it, I’m still saving strong also.

[broken mulch]

This as well. It rub some people the wrong way, but I’m vibin’ to the chill game cycle of Pokemas EX

[tardy fiber]

I already saved my stamina, ready for day 1 Solgaleo ...power boost will be harder though, i need 2-3 days

[broken mulch]

I never save my stamina that much, I just make sure it’s as close to capping when reset hits

[tardy fiber]

I saved because i already claimed all good stuffs from kanto e4 shop and tea party sc shop

[broken mulch]

I spend it for bronze haha

[tardy fiber]

I still have 336 so i guess im fine

[broken mulch]

Normally I’d agree, but we no longer have a player rank cap

[cunning swan]

This is what mods do

[tough oriole]

[rare swan]

[rare swan]

Fr though, this

I'm sure for a lot of people the community participation comes before actual enjoyment/playing of the gacha

Having a community definitely elevates the experience

[tough oriole]

I play another gatcha game that’s a lot worse in terms of f2p friendliness (pvp), but I really enjoy the story and stuff

[tardy fiber]

Oh right this, i already player rank 134...i wonder who got the highest rank currently

[tough oriole]

There’s probably someone out there whaling for stamina for the world record

[tardy fiber]

Im glad im able to catch up with veterans, managed to reach max rank before they increase the cap

[tough oriole]

You’re one of us

[tardy fiber]

But increasing a rank after this update feels way longer...like once a week iirc

The highest in my friend list is 136

Others are all 134, 133

[mint pike]

Well back to saving

At 50 gems so

[feral vale]

Oh, back at two pities •.•

[tough oriole]

Nearly forgot to finish dailies

[feral vale]

I’m excited to get near a third pity this month

||And then I will proceed to use it on SSRC ||

[smoky stratus]

||Have faith that she’ll come earlier||

[opaque cargo]

Want to take a break from poma? Play ptcgl instead. Its free. And lots of free meta deck to choose from. No more trading system. Use crystal point to buy cards to be put in the deck

[tough oriole]

||I already play too many games though, poma is the least time consuming ||

[upbeat lotus]

Play cafe remix instead, the art style is cute, easy learning to play, very fun stages, and ||worse gacha than poma||

[vernal glade]

||unskippable cutscenes only when there’s an event ||

[smoky stratus]

||Try the hit game honkai star rail for the phone and computer(this is a joke I’ve just heard this advertisement from so many you tubers)||

[tough oriole]

||I used to but got bored
It was too grindy for me ||

[hard wave]

|| same, got too bored of it and the pity system as well as OMCs/hospitality events r horrible ||

[cunning swan]

you had me at "the art style is cute"

[broken mulch]

Gave up cafe, I couldn’t handle the physics past a certain level haha

[hard wave]

Pity is like 411k acorns

It is not easy to get them without spending money, btw

And the events r pretty repetitive (OMCs)

[broken mulch]

Cute I’ll give it

[cunning swan]

[compact pasture]

Is it a lot?

[opaque cargo]

Want to save resource on poma, spending money on other game instead or saving, the irony

[hard wave]

Yeah

Im not sure about the prices tho, I dont remember them

[winged fossil]

Finally, 3/5 Sonia, no more need to use Galar tickets

[hard wave]

I only need lucian (1/5), volkner (2/5), grimsley (1/5, but since I just have him and colress below 3/5 ill wait for anni), lana (dont have atm), selene (2/5), gladion (2/5), and bea (2/5)

I think ill just be trying for a bea dupe and my first lana tho

[tardy fiber]

I forgot i still have zero colress ...so 0/5 colress, melony...1/5 gordie, looker, shauna...2/5 courtney, aaron, lucian

Hope they already update galar tix when galar VA arrives, if not, i will just save...it will be near anniv anyway

[hard wave]

I still have no melony lana or shauna and 1/5 colress, looker, gordie, and courtney too

[tardy fiber]

I got bunch of Bertha luck surprisingly but due to she is not a fave...she will just be my summon sandstorm unit just like acerola

Well at least some non fave unit have increased drop rate from random events so it is good to have them sometimes

[vernal glade]

I just need kimono grimsley.

But I’m missing a lot of other units.

[lunar topaz]

I keep thinking I’m waiting for something this month but I’m not a skip month thankfully

[grim plover]

Ok time to save. I hope there's a gladion and guzma alt next month

[winged fossil]

Salt channel is suspiciously empty for tonight. ||Do hau simps not exist, or at least are those people avoiding the shaft somehow?||

[cobalt frost]

||they exist, they are just smart people||

||hau simps SAVE!||

||all hau simps got ss hau because all hau simps either had 36.6k gems already or are still saving gems||

[hasty umbra]

Not that everyone feels the need to vent anyway, and some people are not as bothered about pitying

[cunning swan]

expect to pity every unit and you don't have to vent

and if you get a unit below pity, you're pleasantly surprised!

[iron robin]

||pulled again in hopes for 4/5 ss hau but nope </3 i may as well candy him||
29.2k gems... no way im making it to 2nd pity by june unless i wanna spend again (but i rlly dont like seeing paid gems tbh)

but having ss hau and ss lusamine leaves me satisfied for the month so. im Now officially back to saving (and need to commit to it, even if i want ss mina badly lol. she just has nice outfit and tapu fini is my fav tapu but alas)

my next goal is for alola nc (and if it's not gladion then im more likely to save...) i rlly hope he gets his alt soon 😭 i've been counting days since last year and june marks a year since ive been counting. tis rough

[tardy fiber]

Also please give Gladion power boost DeNa

[iron robin]

yes pls... he rlly needs it 🙏

[opaque cargo]

Demn no gem for ss hau. ||Spent it all on luSSamine||

And need to save for mayken too

[earnest frost]

Damn it, I forgot how much I loved Hau's VA. I don't know how to stop myself from pulling further

[oak crest]

Stay strong for those skipping like me

||Alola tickets really helped me, 60 tickets made my kiawe went from 1/5 to 3/5||

Hopefully next month isn't a skip month for me

[topaz compass]

Another day, another k

Is it just me or does Koko have a shit sync nuke? Only gets cakewalk and innate multipliers

Easy skip

[earnest kiln]

||That or they had luck, like me, 4th Multi! I hope you get him, if you're going for him! Good luck! ☺️||

[rare swan]

give me one of those Kiawes oh my god when will i get him

(no need to spoiler ticket pulls )

[untold tide]

60 tickets??? Where

AloVA hard is open?

I only saw 15 tickets

From the normal storyline

[dire meteor]

Part 2 should give you 15 more

I think

[topaz compass]

Man 4th anni will have me swimming in 5* potential tickets if i spend all my regional and general scouts

[tough oriole]

||He has whimsical sync 5 and SpDef debuffs too. I hit 100k easily on type with 2 sync buffs and 30k with 1 sync buff off type
On top of his insane DPS ||

[topaz compass]

Oh I missed the extra 50%, so that is decent

But blah

[tough oriole]

SpDef debuffs are also immensely powerful, but none of that matter if they aren’t a fave

||If he had that nuke while having SS Wally or Anni Skyla level DPS, I’d understand why you’d be underwhelmed, but his DPS is around SS Hilda tier while having an SST Red level nuke||

[oak crest]

i didnt realize i hit 30 odd tickets before this VA started

speaking of regional tickets, i have been hoarding unova, kalos and recently galar, johto, hoenn tickets

[tough oriole]

I probably won’t even spend by kalos tickets when shauna comes; its only 1/3 units i lack and its another hilbert clone

[oak crest]

i probably will just use until the decent units(if not all) are 3/5 before i start hoarding again

hopefully variety units do not spell the end of spotlight banners tho

[tough oriole]

I know I’m unlikely to even use Shauna

[oak crest]

altho it does mean that we will quite likely get lesser spotlight even if it doesnt spell the end of it

[tough oriole]

Doubt it; i can’t see base chuck or ilima being limited

[rare swan]

[oak crest]

i will use any1 if they are free

even Paulo if he's free

just wont spend gems

[tardy fiber]

Same for me, because there is a higher chance to get the unit while the pool still small

[vestal leaf]

It's just you, his nuke is good, albeit not INSANE

Especially since he sets everything on his own

[oak crest]

koko would have been an interest to me if it has fairy zone mpr, which it doesnt

[vestal leaf]

Still, electric is too stacked to care for numbers alone

[vestal leaf]

I think you'd rarely use that out of fast clears anyway tbh

[tough oriole]

F2P is too stacked for numbers to care

[tough oriole]

||His dps is insane tho ||

[topaz compass]

I missed he apparently has 50% whimsical sync too

[vestal leaf]

Yeah but tbh even without whimsical

It's still good

But you're zoning anyway because that buddy is absolutely stupid

Funny ahhh +50% terrain and +100% for zone

[topaz compass]

Eh no mp refresh on fairy zone means he isn't good with B move for long battles
