Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[tardy fiber]

Or rival only and not mixed

[lean mango]

That'd be neat

They've been more generous with their alts, well with the more unexpected characters at least. They jumped right over the MCs

[tardy fiber]

Yep, im happy with galar birbs and tapus, well they picked those that have 0 alt or 1 alt

The only gripe that i have for sygna suits is sometimes their elite four or gym leader theme gone

Like i still only have 1 gym leader tag fave...ssmorty only

So still need to use non faves for LA missions

[lean mango]

Its weird some just lose their trainer group theme skills

[upbeat lotus]

SS Leaf not having MC theme while she only has 4 theme skills

[feral vale]

Such pain

[upbeat lotus]

[cunning swan]

Varie- _ gets shot_

[tardy fiber]

Variety Barry Heatran will give me complicated feelings yet i will still pull

[violet nebula]

Variety banners need to die

Definitely their most audacious cash grab yet

[rotund sleet]

better yet, gacha games need to die, but alas, here i am, still mildly addicted (not as bad as other points in my life though)

at least i'm not addicted to spending money though

[dire meteor]

How many money do we need for a pity in real life though.

[opaque cargo]

I spent money in genshin, pso2, poma, mlbb, cod, pubg, csgo

Ugh all the money spent

[dire meteor]

Here's hoping next month will give us just as many if not even more gems.

I wanna climb back up to 100k so badly

[hard wave]

Last year was 25k right? I hope if they do masterfairs its more than that atleast 30k

[tardy fiber]

I hope no faves next month, i need time for some recuperation

[hard wave]

|| I wouldnt mind zerena and a pokefair rerun banner, I just hope I dont have to pity both bcz ill only have one by the time we get the rally hoping the new pairs arent interesting but idk ||

[cunning swan]

I hope i got faves next month. I've been starving

[hard wave]

Same, as long as they r reruns cuz ive crossed uh 3 pairs off of it so far

[grim plover]

i hope just 1 fav next month. i only have gems for 1 pair

[hard wave]

Depending on my luck, 2 banners at most

[vestal leaf]

Not pso2

[earnest kiln]

I hope next month is a saving month, planning on getting two more copies of ||Sygna Hau|| I'll even pity to get 3/5.

I have hopes for Galar VA (which should be in August) that it'll have interesting reruns, but I won't hold my breath. Three year anniversary was a huge disappointment, no reruns of previous pairs.

I think I can reach pity, so why not and if I can 3/5 ||Sygna Hau||, I'll 3/5 ||CHop|| with Candies

[violet nebula]

It's June, it's a spend month🤣

[lean mango]

Is there supposed to be anything expected of June tho?

[upbeat lotus]

We know there are likely MF in June

Because of the pattern

[earnest kiln]

If those who missed out are lucky, ||Sygna Johto trio||, but, since I have what I want from them, I might save, it'd be too early to expect ||Nemona and Arven||.

[lean mango]

I expect Palea to start rolling in by December since the whole year after releasing

That's also the time that another VA would be expected but oop Galar last VA

[timber wren]

i dont expect to see paldea until the dlc releases

we didnt get gloria until all of the galar storylines were wrapped up in the crown tundra dlc

[earnest kiln]

With Team Star, we could see a Paldea VA after we get a good number of Paldeans

[timber wren]

im saying it in here too to keep myself honest but i am struggling to wait for datamine to pull on the tapus

but i will stick to it

[earnest kiln]

I'm surprised we haven't seen Hisui or anything related to it yet

[timber wren]

whats ten more days

[lean mango]

i wonder how'll they will round Paldea VA to Team Rocket

[earnest kiln]

I have no idea

[lean mango]

I'm waiting for datamine now ||I wanna see for a skip month so I can pity lovely SS Mina||

[earnest kiln]

Same

[lean mango]

maybe Marnie will be next month

I need to get the funny poison frog already

[grim plover]

same

next week

[tough oriole]

CT released in October, right?

[hard wave]

Same…. || I have ash, lussa ss steven and anni may so I dont need lana or hau….. right? ||

[cunning swan]

You clearly don't

I find that having many units of the same type makes me struggle giving them all the same screentime

[lean mango]

tbh regardless if you didn't have them you'd be aight

[cunning swan]

Like I don't think I'll pull on any dark unit unless it's a big fave from now on. I don't need one more dark damage dealer when I have at least 6 different options

[timber wren]

yeah, then we got gloria in december

[cunning swan]

My grass roster is very big and I'm struggling to use them equally

[lean mango]

My Grass striker isn't Grass at all

[timber wren]

and yes i long ago reached the point in the game where i dont need any new units to clear content easily so its a matter of weighing a bunch of factors like trainer, outfit, kit, pokemon, etc to see if i want to get them

[cunning swan]

I'm trying to resist pulling units just because the kit seems fun

I want Togepi's kit but not on Burgh or that silly outfit

[lean mango]

he has a hat :]

[cunning swan]

I don't like the top hat :[

I know, booo, tomato tomato

[hasty umbra]

november hates fun, confirmed in 4k, smh

[cunning swan]

'm just a grumpy ol' man

[hard wave]

Well id || use hau with ash anyway, but volkner is fine ig ||, but yeah I got || lussa || and idk if ill be using her often due to having || ss steven, tho atleast anni may will be used cuz ill pair them together ||

Tho || acerola || would be nice for my grass team but ill just use a non sun grid with || sc sonia ||

[lean mango]

[hard wave]

I like her too but she wouldnt go well with my current fairy team and I alr have || ss kris and ccalem ||

[lean mango]

Oh Mina?

I was just reacting to the spoilers

[hard wave]

Oh

[dark cliff]

Oh lord, I forgot about the summer units

Gotta save my gems then.

[violet nebula]

Could be bikini Cynthia this year

[lean mango]

That's the embodiment of a skip if I've ever heard one

[violet nebula]

It is, but the simps will simp

[vernal glade]

Then my gems are safe.

[grim plover]

bikini cynthia means EoS

[violet nebula]

No

It means pokemon Masters Ex+

New 6* pairs... done by acquiring platinum power ups

[sand crown]

Don’t give em any ideas

[rustic heron]

don’t we already have 6* pairs

[violet nebula]

Technically yes

And Technically no

It's like the twilight zone this🤣

[topaz compass]

I hope they go big next month even if it makes saving for 4th harder for me

[tardy fiber]

They can release a 6* pair, pair that already came as EX, because on the filter, it is kinda sus that there's option for 6* EX in initial number of *

[tawny dagger]

It's probably pepega coding

[broken mulch]

I e got my gems ready for swimsuit Cynthia haha

[tardy fiber]

Summer Cynthia with Manaphy cmon DeNa

Summer Lusamine with Nihilego as well

[lean mango]

I swear

[deft glen]

I want datamine

|| and GiraCynthia to come soon ||

[tardy fiber]

Big gems this reset 3.3k

[upbeat lotus]

[fallen path]

Alola event is back

Skip for 900 gems in battle villa too

[hard wave]

Not base 6* pairs

[broken mulch]

Wonder who’s gonna be the first base 6 star haha

First fair was… was it Lance or Cynthia?

First master was Leon

Base 6 star Geeta with a Gogoat would be the funniest thing ever

[tough oriole]

They were released at the same time interval for the “Two Champions” event

[deft glen]

Youngster Joey and Rattata

[broken mulch]

Ah thanks

[tardy fiber]

Any pair with Arceus

[feral vale]

~~Volo ~~

[tardy fiber]

Yep his hair screams arceus, well giratina origin can be with him in his merchant outfit

[broken mulch]

Nah man, they’ll make 18 different sync pairs all different types

[tardy fiber]

But they didn't do that for Silvally

[hard wave]

They added the legends plate in arceus so

And it’d just be ss hilbert but every type

[broken mulch]

Ah but Arceus brings in the money

[hard wave]

Is arceus rlly that popular tho?

[tardy fiber]

Yep, i think it will just be a stronger, normal type special damage with kit like gladion or sshilbert

[winged fossil]

Pity acquired. Haven’t finished todays gems yet

[violet nebula]

Keep up the good saving

[untold tide]

Acquired a sudden favoritism towards a pokemon character last weekend

Might have to redo my fav tier list

He doesn't even have an alt

I don't even need his sync type

Aaaaa

[topaz compass]

Sounds a little convenient to have a new favorite if he is currently available 🤔 😉

[untold tide]

That's the thing, he's not!

Which means...I have to wait...

[topaz compass]

Oh okay then don't worry!

[untold tide]

Yea

[pure arrow]

Which one is it, out of curiosity?

[untold tide]

Sordward tier hairstyle. There aren't many that has ended up in the game, so guess

[upbeat lotus]

Sordward?

[untold tide]

Sordward isn't in the game

It's ||Internet explorer hair man||

[upbeat lotus]

im shocked that there is someone do like him

itsnt that Colress

[untold tide]

Yep

[upbeat lotus]

[untold tide]

Which is very bad

Because I already have 3/5 kimono grimmy

[timber wren]

they do completely different things tho

[untold tide]

...wait, they're not both dps?

[upbeat lotus]

im confused now, so who do you like? Colress or Sordward

[untold tide]

Colress

[upbeat lotus]

Colress has no dps

[untold tide]

Who on earth would like sordward

He's not even in the game

[upbeat lotus]

[untold tide]

My taste isn't that bad!!!

[untold tide]

Breathes a sigh of relief

[timber wren]

you can get him rn in the 3k select scout, or wait for the next LG that featured steel types

[untold tide]

No

No thanks

[timber wren]

or just wait for anni to update the ticket pool

[untold tide]

[untold tide]

My non existent bianca, my 1/5 hilbert, watching as I get another copy of burgh:

[timber wren]

colress is more of a debuffing tech, grimsley is dps

[untold tide]

I see

That's wonderful

I don't need to cry over my solgaleo ex

Ngl all this time my fav tastes had lined up with dena's money makers

So now I'm feeling the pain of having an unpopular fave

[broken mulch]

Hmm, which favorite do I have that isn’t in the game yet…

[untold tide]

cough Steven, Cynthia, May, N, Lillie cough

[lean mango]

First time?

[untold tide]

Hey, at least ss mina happened!

[broken mulch]

Ooh Battle Frontier Brain Dahlia, I love her

[untold tide]

Eusine...though

[lean mango]

True, but Eusine

and Glacia

[broken mulch]

The other two Chatelaines are guaranteed at least

[lean mango]

Eusine is more painful, man has been nonexistent for years

[violet nebula]

Glacia needs justice

[untold tide]

Glacia hatred was through the roof a few years back right

[upbeat lotus]

waiting for Emma's turn

[broken mulch]

Yep

[untold tide]

Cause she kept bombing people's pulls

[broken mulch]

Yeah lol

[lean mango]

It's mostly because she was considered the worst Support

[untold tide]

They did Emma dirty with that flat texture on her cloth patch

[upbeat lotus]

until the grid expansion

[lean mango]

And EX

[upbeat lotus]

you mean the patch on her clothes?

[untold tide]

Yea

It's blurry

Like...far too blurry

They did her dirty!!!

[lean mango]

Never noticed it

[upbeat lotus]

im too familiar with models from pokemon games so i didnt care about it

SM and XY models are way worse than poma models

[untold tide]

I mean same, but it's just...so noticeable vs something like sandshrew flat body lines I can't help it

[lean mango]

Current fave list Mina needs to get out

[violet nebula]

Justice for ryuki!!!

[lean mango]

I've always liked his voice

[violet nebula]

There are a few that need justice

[lean mango]

it sounds really nice

[violet nebula]

Palmer

[untold tide]

...honestly, pokemon did geeta's lineup so so dirty

[violet nebula]

Lussamines husband

Clair

[untold tide]

I haven't beaten up a champion that easily since diantha

[violet nebula]

Flanenry

Barry

Eusine

[lean mango]

First time? x2

[violet nebula]

The battle frontier lot

[untold tide]

Lmaoooo

[upbeat lotus]

now people treat her as the worse Diantha

[untold tide]

Lmao

Plus that random gogoat is just??? ??????

[lean mango]

They have some weird vendetta against her

[upbeat lotus]

there are many questionable things about her team

[untold tide]

Guess my starter btw

[lean mango]

I do hope they actually fix her in DLC

[untold tide]

Why does she have so many pokemon that are weak to ||fire||?!!!

[untold tide]

I can understand and empathize your first two tiers (it lines up 50/50 sorta kinda), but...lysandre??? /genuine q

Is it because he's insane in a goofy way

[broken mulch]

Geeta my love

[untold tide]

To be fair, for me, favs either come from story strength + some good character design

Like, I like arven, but his hair is just...hmmm, which is holding me back from loving him

But this sounds hypocritical considering that Colress managed to worm into my favorite list

[lean mango]

It started as more of a half/joke fave, especially since I realllly wanted his Yveltal my favorite legendary, but I genuinely began to like him, the insanity goof part but also it's interesting for characters to have their philosophy

[untold tide]

Makes sense

Tbh its hard to not like him without embracing his insane to the goofball max part

Like. It comes with the package.

[lean mango]

I have different reasons for each of my faves kinda

[timber wren]

wildly self serious bad boys are always funny in goofball settings

[untold tide]

personally his pyroar hair breaks any chances of me ever liking him. But. Lysanderoth!!! You were behind all this

[lean mango]

Glacia and Geeta started from my loving their designs

[untold tide]

Chairman Rose would like to have a word

[timber wren]

give him an alt with a high pony

[lean mango]

And Eusine snd Lisia came from pure personality

[timber wren]

rose is not on cyrus or lysander’s level he’s a politician, always deflecting and using benefit of the doubt

[lean mango]

I could never take Rose that seriously

[timber wren]

well buckle up for next va

[broken mulch]

Sinnoh?

[untold tide]

Hmm, ngl Nyisia appeals to me based on her drip

[broken mulch]

Oh next new one lol

[untold tide]

I never played oras nor ruby/sapphire

[timber wren]

i’m still waiting for green to show up and at this point i think she might just end up as a variety leaf

[broken mulch]

I stopped at Gen 6

[untold tide]

So I don't...really have first person experience in a sense

[lean mango]

I took Rose less seriously than Lysandre

[broken mulch]

Never played Gen 7, 8, and 9

[lean mango]

I've only played Gen 6, 3, and 2

[untold tide]

I played every gen since 4

But remakes aren't my priority

[vestal leaf]

I do like those two idiots

They're hilarious

[upbeat lotus]

[untold tide]

Turns out there is someone

[vestal leaf]

I don't care that they're not in tbh

But I wouldn't mind them getting added unlike most people

[untold tide]

Wanted to retract this one lmao

[lean mango]

I do say the SWSH bros were my least favorite characters for the longest time but I mostly played it up for a joke

But then that got replaced by a character I don't actually like

[untold tide]

Goofiness to the max, I respect that
Huh, hairstyle really does make or break characters for me

The closest I got to having a fav with bad-ish hairstyle is Silver

Too 90s vibe

But his arc is just 10/10

I'll defeat giovanni for him

[vestal leaf]

Hairstyle is a mean to a character design for me so their horrible haircuts are part of the novelty of the whole "lol gotta play up to the fact we're descendants of the hero to the max"

[untold tide]

Understandable
They must use a lot of wax tho ngl

[lean mango]

bruh didn't look in the mirror

[vestal leaf]

Maybe they're wigs

[untold tide]

I think the part where they manage to wobble when they bow and somehow go back to standing straight

[vestal leaf]

Who knows

[untold tide]

Is where I draw the line

[upbeat lotus]

i cant imagine how Lusamine maintains her hair every morning

[lean mango]

They use more gel than Lear

[vestal leaf]

They even wave in the wind

[lean mango]

Tbh i might kick off Ortega off this

[untold tide]

I hate sordward's hair more than shieldbert for the sole reason that shieldbert is...still more achievable

Sordward's hair is just...??????????

Anomalous

Actually has anyone actually ever tried cosplaying the swsh bros

[vernal glade]

I have a feeling they gonna have hair physics once they get added in masters. oh god please no.

[untold tide]

What kind of trickery must they have done to achieve it...

[vestal leaf]

Yeah that is

Definitely

Anomalous

[untold tide]

"Gravity simply just doesn't apply to us!"

[untold tide]

Her hair looks pretty paper thin

Like, it tapers off the further away from her head

Headcanon that it's just ribbons glued together

[timber wren]

i’m more curious how caitlin gets hers to work

[untold tide]

Pokemon universe's psychic powers

She gets a pass

[upbeat lotus]

how about Iris

[untold tide]

Iris? Now that's the mystery

[lean mango]

Updated my list

[untold tide]

Miriam has official art now?!

[lean mango]

No

I just used a Pokemon card art

[untold tide]

Good enough

[lean mango]

I put effort into them

since the tier list isn't updated for Paldea

[upbeat lotus]

Miriam

[untold tide]

Her vibes is immaculate

[lean mango]

I swear if she doesn't get a Toxapex I will be so mad

[untold tide]

She's in my like tier list, but she hasn't broken through into the fav list

[untold tide]

What if she gets Paldean Quagsire

[lean mango]

As long as it's Poison I don't care

But it's weird to ignore her ace

[untold tide]

Ah it's her ace?

[lean mango]

Yea

[untold tide]

Welp, didn't quite remember

Didn't grind the post game circuit

I spent too much time gachaing for shiny pokemon in the wild

[lean mango]

I never played Paldea

[untold tide]

Sigh, time to sit on my unova tickets

Until anni

My psychic terrainless dream of 1/5 bianca will have to be shelved

[vernal glade]

Won’t be reaching my dream goal for very very long time with my updated wishlist.

[lean mango]

I haven't spent any of my tickets except for Alola and Hoenn

I'm waiting for anni

[untold tide]

New player walking down the zen gem path

Those tickets are The Gamechangers

(Well, as new as a 1 and a half month player can be)

[vernal glade]

I’m not using my Unova tickets until they add Hugh and Colress to the ticket pool.

[lean mango]

I've been shafted by them multiple times

Game if only could stop giving me Lana copies

I just want Plumeria

[untold tide]

...cries in elioless and lillieless

Alolan Grimmy in the back:

[lean mango]

K Grimsley is amazing

[untold tide]

Yes

But

He's useless for the EBEs this time around

[lean mango]

[untold tide]

Ground weak

[lean mango]

EBEs?

[untold tide]

Earthquake

There you go

Challenge

But with this difficulty

[lean mango]

Oh challenge

[untold tide]

It might as well be EBE

[ashen thunder]

Just bring ssmina or Anabel

[lean mango]

I wish they separated so there could be more gems

[untold tide]

Not pulling for a non fav

Just for a challenge

[lean mango]

that's the spirit

[ashen thunder]

Yea well
You asked for a way

I gave one

its just not feasible

[untold tide]

I have almost two pities saved

Well, 6k to 2 pities, disregarding my paid gems

[ashen thunder]

I am broke coz I was waiting for tapus for like 3ish months already

Now in saving modo

Thank God I skipped galar neo MFs

Else I'd be broke now

Without tapus

[untold tide]

Ngl bede's drip is a bit...a miss

For me

Something about it doesn't sit right

[timber wren]

it’s very extra

[untold tide]

Still a fav though

And g articuno is a pretty bad miss imo

Vs g moltres and g zapdos

They get cool colors

And g articuno gets...a visor?!

But eh

Maybe it's just not my vibe

[ashen thunder]

One got thicc legs and other got long beak
They couldn't decide what to give for 3rd

[lean mango]

I would've gotten G Zapdos if it was with anyone else

So now gotta wait for the shiny

[untold tide]

Well, I would have gotten carnie

But she was merely a like

And not a fav

[cunning swan]

Gem check: 196k!

Getting so close to 200k

[topaz compass]

No way we get shiny galar birds before EOS. Kanto birds should be guaranteed at least

[lean mango]

Better than getting CHop

I love my fighting bird than any of the others

[violet nebula]

Birbs

[tardy fiber]

One of the kanto birbs might go to Chatelaine Dana...she uses both kantrio birbs and regi trio

[sturdy plank]

i need to fix my favorite list

[sturdy hatch]

Last chance to clear Fashion Week

And Pasio Gold Rush

[tardy fiber]

I gonna bid farewell to 50mil download banner

Not gonna miss ye in 4 hours

[sturdy hatch]

All these and not one shiny.

[tough oriole]

Thanks for the exchange reminder

[cunning swan]

oh right, I got a shiny this morning. it's a support, the shiny that I already have

[vernal glade]

Oh right same, despite I have so many 3* manuals, I guess I can exchange for more.

[vernal glade]

Me also but another shiny tech.

[cunning swan]

I want a shiny tech

but I've raised my non-shiny one to 5* and everything

[feral vale]

I’ve had…. no shinies. Again.

[broken mulch]

I’ve still got a healthy supply of eggs left.

COME ON SHINY STRIKERDOS

[tardy fiber]

Im done with shiny karp event, i need to wait for tyrogues rerun and meowths rerun...i have 0 shinies in both of those events

[broken mulch]

I know I’m missing Shiny Lee and Top, but forgot about the cats

[tardy fiber]

I wont grab extra incubator, and egg pass unless there is a phione/kubfu/cosmog egg event...but that's pure hopium

[broken mulch]

Legendary egg event would be so funny

Like an absurd amount of legendary babies being donated lol

[tardy fiber]

I will be happy with it, each free legendaries will save my gems

Thats why i kinda happy with bp master units although most people hate em as MC keeps getting the pokemons

But thats a free 36.6k gems

Out of my budget

[winged fossil]

the only region ticket i can even get something useful from now i think is sinnoh so outside of that region rest of my tix im just saving for the pool update now

need dawn and bertha copies from sinnoh still

the rest i either dont care about or have everything within

made myself look through them again bc i got a 30 ticket chest from my last batch of lodge exped

[tardy fiber]

I was greeted with this, i wonder if it will be another increase

[cunning swan]

does anyone remember a website where you insert the rates of a featured unit and the number of multis you do, then the website shows you your chances to pull said unit?

am i making sense

[upbeat lotus]

https://pokemon-masters-stuff.github.io/#/

i think this is the website you are looking for

[cunning swan]

OOOOH yeah

thank you!

[deft glen]

I didn't know the egg event ended today, I was gonna get some more eggs for my box

Didn't get a single shiny yet

[buoyant elk]

Want to pull for the tapus, but i want to see datamine 1st

Don't know if there may be some must pull units

Tapus are pretty solid however

[cunning swan]

Keep waiting for that sweet sweet datamine!

Only about 10 days left

[violet nebula]

Less even

[vestal leaf]

Might be on the 29th for all we know

Or maybe on the 22-23

Just gotta wait

And see

[violet nebula]

Either way, our gems grow

[oak crest]

really curious what they will pull out in June

(quite likely we will be seeing new MF pairs too)

[cunning swan]

I'm at 198k, ready for whatever June throws at me

[vernal glade]

My 180k ready to be saved for the skip month next month.

One step closer to a fave coming.

[feral vale]

Oh yeah it’s almost time for Summer N, huh?

[vernal glade]

||Im going after Hilda, N was the reason I had to skip her||

[topaz compass]

Pretty sure new units will come in an event before end of month, meaning datamije can't be 29th which means it has to friday 26th at latest

[tawny dagger]

The 3k gems will coincide with a masterfair banner

100%

[cunning swan]

it's odd the rally gems are given out so late in the month tbf

[tawny dagger]

Really big brain to give alola VA gems after Alola VA ends

[hard wave]

Gem count only goes up to 28th, so 28th has to be the latest right?

We also got dev letter on the 25th the past 2 months so (even tho datamine for april stuff was 29th)

[topaz compass]

28th is a Sunday EST. It will be 26th Friday if not sooner.

Because we don't have any new pairs besides reruns left this month. So new units likely in the last couple days of months so datamine before the weekend to accommodate. Like technically it could be 29th for event on 31st but odds are basically 0 for that

[grim plover]

datamine next week

[violet nebula]

Yes

[vernal glade]

Finally

[cloud kayak]

Anniversary is what 2 months away?

[tough oriole]

+anni

[jade lava]

Poma's Half-Anniversary happens <t:1677564000:R>, <t:1677564000>
Anniversary happens <t:1693202400:R>, <t:1693202400>

[violet nebula]

3 months of saving

[tardy fiber]

Wow you all have a lot, im just 70.2k gems...its healing

[hard wave]

Im at 26.3k

[deft glen]

|| I couldn't ||

[topaz compass]

@tardy fiber 70k is great especially considering your goals are expensive

[tardy fiber]

Hope next month is a break month for me, do a master fair with not legendaries/mythicals/UBs probably like leon/sstred/ash/ssacynthia/nccalem/ncserena...i can skip happily

[vernal glade]

As long as there isn’t another MC Unova or another N alt next month, I’m in full speed for July. ||For Summer Hilda||

[tardy fiber]

But yep, i dont recommend people to have the same goal if they just started

[tardy fiber]

NC N with duplicate unova flag bearer

[vernal glade]

||I don’t mind NC N next month, I been saving strong since December. N is my favorite character so of course I’m not skipping an NC N.||

[lean mango]

Gem count, back at 100k lfg

[tardy fiber]

Healthy savings for that rock type Nihilego Cris

[lean mango]

I just want my silly Venom Jelly to be poison

[oak crest]

Hopefully next month isnt skip month for me

[tardy fiber]

Me too but i already prepared myself, if it is not poison...i just gonna pair falliris with gladion for poison stuffs

[lean mango]

There's still hope

CS has a Poison weak at the end, Nihilego REAL!?!1!?

[cunning swan]

I hope Apollo bestows you the gift of prophecy

[naive imp]

It feels weird to not pull for anything in a gacha game for such a long time, but really nothing catches my attention and i'm saving for SSR Cynthia

[weary spire]

Tell me about it

[tardy fiber]

Chest is still waiting for that Clair alt

No matter how long i saved, it is probably not as long as him

[summer goblet]

I wonder Chest daily pulls as an alternative

cause that would be more fulfilling trying to luck out some of the limited units while saving up a war chest of gems that can effectively pull almost everyone in the game

[topaz compass]

Antoher day, another k

[uneven pewter]

Honestly even with a vast majority of the limiteds, only a few have stood the test of time in terms of relevancy and still being reliable

Still stand by the fact that special costumes and seasonals are the biggest bait traps in existence

Unless it’s a support, most of the seasonals aren’t really worth your time and don’t age well

Especially if you’re only wanting to pick up damage dealers that are specifically targeting certain weaknesses now that they have released a masters-mode event that capitalizes on it

But just like we said last year with zone setters, they’re now releasing better terrain setters as well

Tldr pull faves and supports

Since realistically supports are some of the few terrain setters that age like wine

[dreamy onyx]

this is why i didn't pull any rebuff seasonal pair, they will powercreep them soon enough

[uneven pewter]

Where as strikers and techs…there will always be a bigger fish

[uneven pewter]

Rebuff is such a situational debuff anyways. 9/10 times the target is dead before it matters

Even with all the hp mods in masters mode

[tardy fiber]

And this upcoming mode, using many Sync Pairs of the designated type gives more score

[cunning swan]

Inb4 the featured type is ground

[tardy fiber]

[uneven pewter]

Poison will be worse

[tardy fiber]

Those that pulled variety agatha will be happy

[uneven pewter]

Heh

Variety should be general pool

It’s such a bs cash grab

It’s why i don’t touch those banners

[rotund sleet]

everything in this game--hell--the game itself, is a cash grab, but variety is some of the worst

[dreamy onyx]

only whales pull on those banners, and very few people pull because they're their faves

[rotund sleet]

i still think paid selects that only have gen pools are the absolute worst

[uneven pewter]

Those used to not be horrid value when they actually released gen pool that was good

Sonia when she first came out is still an amazing support

[rotund sleet]

still never worth

[dreamy onyx]

last gen pool unit was in jan, and most likely none next month, almost half a year

[rotund sleet]

i'm bewildered they didn't add drasna and malva

at some point this year

[tardy fiber]

Man, at least i can do gauntlet with just my faves but this new mode....my fave's type have some gap like psychic having 10 pairs and there's only 1 poison

[uneven pewter]

Same reason I don’t understand why they didn’t release the admins for the villain teams besides courtney

[rotund sleet]

no shelly or the fat one

wait no the latter is on magma

but no shelly was absolutely ridiculous

[uneven pewter]

Mhm

Hell i was stunned mars didnt get a release

But anyways enough of my villain woes

Time to get ready for work

[vestal leaf]

Mark my words

One day

She'll get a seasonal

[vestal leaf]

I see it very differently

There's very very few limiteds that have fallen off harshly to the point you struggle using them

[severe bridge]

When is next month datamine i want to decide if i wanna pull on the current banners

[tardy fiber]

Dont worry it will come before the tapus expired

[drowsy saddle]

+datamine

[jade lava]

Datamine usually happens at the end of each month between the 25th and 29th (PDT)
Check #datamines for raw dumps and #1012256199128915968 for recap and schedules.
Here is a history of previous datamine dates : https://tinyurl.com/pmexdataminehistory

[tardy fiber]

Tapus stays until 2nd june and datamine for sure will arrives before June starts

Unless you wants variety agatha and lance

[upbeat lotus]

Or SS Lusamine

[severe bridge]

I got 3/5 SS Lusamine on her release

I'm just wondering abt fini

[upbeat lotus]

then wait for datamine

[severe bridge]

[feral vale]

Please note this channel is not about asking who to pull. It’s about saving, and any pull mentions should be in spoiler text.

And we usually encourage pulling favs, not meta.

[uneven pewter]

That’s generally always best practice in terms of going for newer pairs. Wait till the last possible day before deciding anything and assess what you need vs what is a luxury

Especially since the game likes to go “surprise” new shiny master fair around this time

[feral vale]

Legit tho

[lean mango]

Manifesting the silly jelly so hard right now

[winged fossil]

Expecting Lillie alt since va was without her but won’t be surprised if they did some other stuff next month. I’m just patiently waiting for datamine rn

[vernal glade]

But what if she isn’t next month, then I’m expecting you’ll be waiting for July?

[winged fossil]

Yeah if next months a skip I’ll be sitting around for summer n rerun

[uneven pewter]

June usually has a gem buster

Thus far the trend has been april and may are bait banners

June usually drops a masters fair

July is a dead month

Then the countdown till anniversary

August is usually pretty heavily loaded gem wise

But they will tempt you in the first half with banners that expire right before the datamine

[timber wren]

july usually has a couple really good PFs

train bros in 21 and gloria+korrina in 22

[uneven pewter]

Well, i can count on one hand the last time i used the dojo duo but the train twins are still top notch

So we’ll see if july 23 is better

[severe bridge]

Has there been a Celebi , Suicune or SS Wally rerun , those r my two faves as of now and would like to save for them

[sand crown]

I rely on SS Korrina for ghost damage, but I was very lucky that month

[sand crown]

Not yet

[hard wave]

If we get one MF a month we should get zygarde in june, lugia in july, celebi in august, suicune in september

SS Wally is a pokefair and they dont rlly seem to be rerunning many maybe an occasional rerun of newer fairs but usually 2020-early 2021 fairs I think

[feral vale]

~~Hoping and praying for Zerena next month ~~

Oh I just realized ||so close to SSR Cynthia ||

[hard wave]

Same, all I want next month is zerena and maybe a triple banner with fairs I want so I can shorten my rerun list

Maybe the masterfairs wont be interesting for me

[crisp oracle]

||I am in dire need of copium. The Gauntlet banner has three units I really want dupes of, but I have a bunch of favorites that may rerun in the coming months. (Johto Trio, and SC Diantha come Anniversary in three months)||

Striker Candy…Support Candy…Eating man, a modern form of hieroglyphics known as “reacts”. Perhaps the author, she is telling me to feed candies to my units instead of giving the gems to the company commissary, Tricia

Good advice Annie

[feral vale]

[tardy fiber]

Too early...wait for datamine week

[lean mango]

I'm manifesting early so it cooks

So close the Hazard Glass is within reach

[tardy fiber]

Might be next week as 27th and 28th are weekends so probably 26th or 29th

[lean mango]

[tardy fiber]

I also hope nihilego is poison, well if it isn't...i can still hopium that iron moth/shiny eternatus/shiny naganadel/shiny nihilego/shiny iron moth is poison

Just give me 1 more poison fave to make my poison coverage much stable

If nihilego is a special poison, its icing on the cake as fall iris can acid spdef down to all enemies

[lean mango]

It would be strange for them to make it physical since it's stats are very special but this is DeNa

[tardy fiber]

Like tapu lele, it has high spatk...but becomes physical damage dealer

[opaque cargo]

Gauntlet oh. Hell to start and even more hell to grind

[tardy fiber]

Can just chill, don't we have like 2 weeks plus or something

[opaque cargo]

I dunno too lazy to start

Its hurting my brain just thinking about it

The thinking of starting gauntlet

And why we just cant skip villa until top floor? Why need to play the last 10 floor?

Sorry this is wrong place to begin with

[tardy fiber]

Oh i just do with my faves, i dislike the thought of using non fave for more streaks

[hasty umbra]

eh, not that you have to go past the 10

[opaque cargo]

I dun even have my fav to start kicking coballion.

[hasty umbra]

people that do like the grind

[opaque cargo]

Need that blaze kick

[tardy fiber]

To make our life harder, well i am already grateful that we can skip most of it

[opaque cargo]

Oh wait should i get entei. But he is support

Why only have silver hooh as my fire?

[tardy fiber]

No hilda emboar?

[opaque cargo]

Dun have

Got typhlosion tho.

But hmm he is bit hard to use

[tardy fiber]

Well he will get boosted on 25th

[opaque cargo]

Oh really.

[tardy fiber]

Yep he is this month's power boosted unit

[opaque cargo]

Wait who? Typhlosion or hooh?

[hasty umbra]

Ethan

[tardy fiber]

Typhlosion

[opaque cargo]

Ah ok. Dang i really want that mega charizard x red tho

I dont like leon tho. Cause he is so weird looking

[tardy fiber]

I want him as well but seeing a bunch of my unreleased faves ...i toss away that idea

[opaque cargo]

He is the only reason why i didnt want that gigantamax charizard

[opaque cargo]

Afraid next new mf is a legendary?

Agh why didnt i pull charizard during newbie banner?

I thought the banner will come every month

[tardy fiber]

Not just MF...afraid for the next seasonal / poke fair / spotlight / variety /special costume are faves

[opaque cargo]

Then u cant ever have charizard my friend

[tardy fiber]

Yep but im glad that paradoxes exist

At least i can get a version of tyranitar/donphan/volcarona/jiglypuff/magneton and more

Maybe they will add more in DLC and maybe a charizard

Ancient Charizard and Future Blastoise

[opaque cargo]

The franchise will never end wont it? As long as imagination exist

[broken mulch]

And money keeps rolling in

Mostly the latter

[broken mulch]

Oh dang I just realized SN is most likely rerunning next month

Though I forgot how seasonals usually do rerun banners

[tardy fiber]

Yep only not all VA units rerun when VA reruns

Recent hoenn VA rerun only rerun ssbrendan and this upcoming sinnoh VA rerun only rerun ssrcynthia

Maybe they want to rerun the VA a couple of times a year...with different rerun pair each time

Next hoenn VA rerun might have sssteven or ssmay

[hard wave]

|| Could just wait until u get those favs and pull on a future banner or wait for them to be w others u like ||

[topaz compass]

If Nihilego is rock over poison we know they hate us

[hard wave]

I wouldnt mind a better rock type striker over olivia (even tho she’s still solid), but id prob just try for emmet or cblue depending on what banners they may come in

[tardy fiber]

If they want to do rock, there's Terrakion and Stakataka...just touch those and make Nihilego poison

[topaz compass]

I feel like we still lack poison limited attackers. Rock we have archeops, aerodactyl, both diancie. Poison has emma and what?

[tardy fiber]

Naganadel

Oops thats tech

[lean mango]

A tech

[tardy fiber]

Oh attackers

[topaz compass]

I meant non-suppirt anyway

[tardy fiber]

So naganadel is back

[lean mango]

I'd love more Poison limiteds that are not Variety

and support

[topaz compass]

I really think they added the other UB for next month. Otherwise they could have reused the old ones for cutscenes

[lean mango]

My support stock has tripled

[tardy fiber]

Yep more UBs on the horizon as ending from alola VA makes wild UBs available on Pasio

[lean mango]

This is running around and I still can't get one

[tardy fiber]

Hopefully its poison...it looks more of a jellyfish than a crystal or some rock materials

[broken mulch]

Why is it even rock

[lean mango]

It's glass

[topaz compass]

They created Nagandel with the expectation they would create a special poison pair that goes well with it I'm convinced

[tardy fiber]

Glass jellyfish

[lean mango]

I don't call it Hazard Glass for nothing

[broken mulch]

Hmm

Well I guess hardened sand counts as Rock lol

[tardy fiber]

Well its a parasite that attaches to people and its head looks like a glass helmet

[lean mango]

Nihilego and Glimmora have so many things in common

And I'll happily whale both

[tough oriole]

But they’re jellyfish and flowers, not whales

[lean mango]

Actually they are rocks

In my Steven arc

[tough oriole]

But don’t you want them to be poison

[lean mango]

Yes

[tardy fiber]

I still haven't 3/5 fall iris...i gonna hopium there's seasonal select on anniv

[topaz compass]

Until we get a special poison attacker I don't see a need for Nagandel to get copies

[severe bridge]

Ok I'll save for these

Probably will have to skip Lugia tho cuz faves take prio

Unless Lugia is like suuuuuper good but Id still want to save ;-;

[cloud kayak]

I want my ash and red with Pikachu. Hopefully we will see a rerun this year.

[sturdy plank]

unsure about ash rerun

[tardy fiber]

Brainteaser is kinda nice to have, but as she's the only seasonal faves left that aren't 3/5...so i rather let her 2/5 for a long time while waiting for seasonal select to save my tech candies for other tech MF and PF fave

[sturdy plank]

sygna suit thunder red might get rerun tho

[severe bridge]

If a zerena rerun is expected, should i also save my 2 striker candy? I planned to use it to 3/5 my C Marnie but might as well save it?

[tardy fiber]

Yep if Ash doesn't rerun, they can just release Kanto NC with duplicate Kanto Spirit master passive

[upbeat lotus]

Better waiting for next month datamine. We dont know when Zerena will return

This question suits #poma-questions more

[upbeat lotus]

Duplicate MF skill is a thing now

I doubt Ash will return, at least in the next few years because he was a collab character

Same reason why Jessie and James havent had a rerun yet

[fallen path]

what's bugsy's excuse tho

[upbeat lotus]

Dena hate Johto

[deft glen]

playing the game for more than a year and still no Bugsy Scyther

[fallen path]

[glass abyss]

I pray for Scizor everyday

[exotic sparrow]

More evidence that they hate Johto (I don't count Pasio here):

1. Only region to not have at least 1 Sync Pair with a Buddy Move
2. The two Johto Pokefairs don't have their 5/5 grid expansion yet (also the only region without it)
3. Currently have the lowest number of Sync Pairs available at 31 (next is Galar at 32, then Sinnoh/Kalos at 33 each)
4. Event Bugsy gets EX without any EX style while Event Blue gets a proper EX
5. No Champion (theme skill) in Johto since they gave our born-in-Johto Lance to Kanto

[opaque cargo]

Celebi rerun please, and suicuine and lugia too

[exotic sparrow]

Cries

[opaque cargo]

All my childhood fav

I think i just wants to collect all fav pokemon from hoenn and below first.

[hard wave]

Sinnoh has a b move user?

[tardy fiber]

Ssacynthia

[hard wave]

Ohhh right

[tardy fiber]

Sinnoh doesn't have max move i think, but johto has 1 ... SsGiovanni

[hard wave]

Hoenn and kalos too I think

[rare swan]

Kalos has 5

[upbeat lotus]

Johto, Unova, Alola and Kanto have at least a Dynamax user

Besides Galar ofc

[upbeat lotus]

The region with the most B Move users

[rare swan]

We love to see it

[hard wave]

Nah, red and sst red for kanto, ss gio for johto, celesa for unova, and anabel for alola, a bunch of galar pairs

Oh b moves

[tardy fiber]

All of Kalos VA units have B Move well except Shauna but can she be considered as VA unit

[rare swan]

SC Shauna should've had a B move but Dena was scared to make Kalos too OP smh

[hard wave]

Id say spotlights count

Also anabel doesnt have one but she has max moves atleast

[tardy fiber]

Lets wait for OP chatelaine this year Tai

[rare swan]

Spotlights definitely count bc Looker stole a spot in the Hoenn VA

[hard wave]

Id like articuno or virizion

[rare swan]

Just as Anabel stole one in Kalos

My poor Gen6. Why did they do you like that

[upbeat lotus]

Kanto VA had SS Misty and SS Erika
Johto, Alola and Sinnoh VA had none
Hoenn VA had Courtney and Looker
UnoVA had Hugh and Colress
Kalos VA had Shauna

[hard wave]

Smh and they consider themselves IP

[tardy fiber]

I hope they will add more of my Faves for Kanto, i cannot even do a full Kanto faves team for daily kanto battle smh

Theres only Oak and Gio

[upbeat lotus]

[hard wave]

NC kanto birds

[tardy fiber]

Where kanto birbs?

[hard wave]

Ill prob go for articuno only || which is what I said last time and it didnt rlly work out well ||

[tardy fiber]

Well 1 might go to Chatelaine but that will make it Kalos, and thats if MC doesn't steal 1 kanto birb

[rare swan]

I wanted a real Lance alt

[tardy fiber]

NY Lance

[rare swan]

Thanks for helping me save gems ig

I know, I meant another

[hard wave]

He could end up in lodge ig

[rare swan]

That ain't a real alt

[hard wave]

Another pair in lodge that I wont have

[tardy fiber]

He is treated better than Agatha, Lorelei, an Bruno

[oak crest]

ugh i hope not MC

[rare swan]

No new outfit = not a real alt

[lean mango]

Anni Lance real please

[hard wave]

Lodge pairs can sometimes get put into lodge bcz they got an alt so

[oak crest]

its gonna end up being unusable at Region EBEs...

[tardy fiber]

Cannot understand why Lorelei doesn't have alt...i thought Glasses mature girl is pretty popular

Just give her kimono or something

[lean mango]

E4 curse

[hard wave]

LGPE alt for her and lance

Agatha and bruno barely change, idk if their variety or lgpe alts would be bigger scams

[lean mango]

I may be biased but I prefer another Ice lady to get an alt first

[rare swan]

[tardy fiber]

Acerola broken that curse

[lean mango]

With Variety alts

[hard wave]

Seems like ppl havent realized yet, grusha is a guy /s

[tardy fiber]

Give her Regice DeNa

[lean mango]

[lean mango]

Ye ye

[hard wave]

Dw candice and melony will get alts one day

[lean mango]

Or even better Walrein

[tardy fiber]

Brandon should just be happy with only registeel

Battle Frontier event when?

[lean mango]

An SC queen alt with a Walrein

[tardy fiber]

[hard wave]

Tbf, alola e4 are also trial givers which r basically gym leaders

[lean mango]

Thing with early E4 you never seen enough of them

They just stay in their rooms all day

[hard wave]

Oh yeah caitlin and grimsley have alts ig

[tardy fiber]

Ok how about Caitlin and Siebold

[hard wave]

Siebold too

[hard wave]

In XY u rlly only see malva cuz of the holo caster, I think she’s in some hotel too post game

Alola obviously u meet them but they arent e4 yet

Except kahili in sm

[tardy fiber]

Nervous for datamine...not enough gems to feel safe

[hard wave]

Swsh just erased the e4, I think its more like the anime pkmn league? Idk

Sv has the e4 u see the most

[hard wave]

Better than me, I have 26.7k

[tardy fiber]

Im glad i skipped detective SC pairs

[hard wave]

I didnt even go for the SCs, the NCs drained me

[tardy fiber]

Well NC also took 2 and a half pities

Around 90k+ gems

[untold tide]

I'm sitting on almost 2 pities

let's see what june has in store for us

[hard wave]

Luckily || got lussa and anni may in 2 multis each, unsure about the tapus so ill just skip so hopefully ill be prepared for next month ||

[tardy fiber]

I have 70.7k gems currently ...theres 7770 gems left

Nice can reach 2 pities

[hard wave]

Should reach like 34k then

[tardy fiber]

Gonna send feedback to DeNa so that they will rerun EBEs when VA reruns...it could be an extra source of gem income

[lean mango]

Same 😭

As much as I want the jelly it's going to make a dent into my gem count which I will feel

[tardy fiber]

Well at least you only chase poison pairs, but I'm not gonna be mad at my goal as my fave goals are the ones that make me motivated to play poma

[hard wave]

And the pokefairs

[tardy fiber]

There's some satisfaction when clearing hard contents like gauntlet with faves

[hard wave]

Besides anni skyla ingo and maybe ss morty, all the pokefairs I want are VA pairs

[tardy fiber]

Not sure if csmm still counts as hard content for me, as time passes my roster also increased and csmm still only needs 15 pairs

[oak crest]

Things might be different when sinnoh csmm drops

2k pts might be challenging for that region

[tardy fiber]

As long as cs doesn't introduce region specific boost, i will be ok

[untold tide]

lmao the day cs does that

is the day dena gets feedback complaints

[tardy fiber]

Well the upcoming content gives more points if you use specific type

[untold tide]

on region point parameter tho, imagine

off region pairs take 3x the damage, 150 pts

[broken mulch]

Would be funny

[hard wave]

Maybe maybe not, im just adding 500 free points to the points I was already beating it with

300 on type + 100 special/physical reduction + 50 interference immunity maybe + 50 tech/strike dmg x3

[oak crest]

idk, for some it might be a pain

[hard wave]

I wonder if we’ll get more param presets

[oak crest]

technically i dont really have an effective on-type on steel weak bertha

[hard wave]

Could be guess we’ll see

I think my fairy team is the one that I may struggle with the most

[oak crest]

Since ughgaleo and SS Grimsley are all weak to ground

off-typing will prob need to make them even more tanky than they already are

[hard wave]

Cuz I use ny lisia with ss wally, so I cant use either dmg reduction or increased dmg for tech/strike or interference immunity cuz wally needs it to debuff

[oak crest]

for kanto/johto/unova/alola it isnt such a big issue

but for sinnoh and the other newer CS regions it might be

since they are alrdy tanky as default

[gray sail]

Within ten days of the next mine. Can't wait, and got some gems in anticipation. Or maybe I'll sail through another save month.

[rare swan]

Definitely a good time to hold tight to your gems

[ancient kelp]

When is it not

[broken mulch]

EoS imminent

[tardy fiber]

When there's a fave banner available

And you have enough gems

No pity = skip

[tardy fiber]

I just noticed my lucky cookie stocks are dwindling...i guess i need to do my 16 streaks again for a couple of runs, to restock on normal cookies and hopefully some deluxe

[sturdy flower]

||that's why I'm doing dailies on it, 1.5% x3 is a decent chance to get something out of them||

[topaz compass]

@sturdy flower || I am too but my daily luck is nonexistent so I am throwing away paid gems ||

[opaque cargo]

Please stop me pulling ss red

Please

Only have 9k no pity

[lean mango]

It's not worth it

You might get shafted with that low amount of gems

[tardy fiber]

I also kinda want ssred, but after i think about fire heatran in the future, also chi-yu and blacephalon... I don't mind skipping redzard

[bleak falcon]

Hilda + Emboar already stomps Fire weak content

[tardy fiber]

1.5k gems this reset, and i will have enough to 5* blaine

[opaque cargo]

Dang why is it 3 pair exclusives

[tardy fiber]

For that banner? It follows gauntlet weakness...ssred for cobalion, alder for azelf, ssblue for entei

[opaque cargo]

And why alder got featured so many time

Oh is it?

[tardy fiber]

Because they dont want to rerun sshilbert for azelf

As sshilbert is va unit

[opaque cargo]

Ya why not ss hilbert?

At least new unit

Water maybe can be kyogre

[tardy fiber]

Kyogre aint pokefair

[upbeat lotus]

Kyogre is MF

[opaque cargo]

Then its worth to pull the banner

[upbeat lotus]

Ask dena for the unit choices, not us

[opaque cargo]

Suicuine maybe

Suicine is mf?

[tardy fiber]

They still havent put sskorrina for ghost weak uxie, instead they keep rerunning redlax

[opaque cargo]

Maybe i should uninstall poma

[tardy fiber]

Yep sskris is a MF

[opaque cargo]

So i wont be pulling unnecessarily.

Celebi too and lugia?

[tardy fiber]

Yep

Kinda why i didn't advise new players to collect all legendaries, mythicals, UBs

Well at least bp master units are free

My faves limited MF are Maxie, Archie, ALillie, AN, ASteven, SsLusamine, SsRCynthia, SsSerena, SsEthan, SsKris, SsLyra, NCMarnie, NCBede, NCHop.

14 pairs

[bleak falcon]

I generally just go for pairs if I like the trainer or (in some cases) their outfit. Who needs Ash and SST Red when I have all the Elesas, and such

[tardy fiber]

Yep i skipped those rats and lucario

I choose scrosa instead, didn't regret

Because shaymin is a fave

Also skipped frogs and leonzard

[bleak falcon]

Oh, now that I think about it

Ethan’s Power Boost is this month

[untold tide]

I skipped rats but pulled lucario

Guess my starting gen /hj

[opaque cargo]

I need the kanto johto hoenn legendaries asap

[bleak falcon]

And while it’s not the best for his regular move damage it does give him a solid Sync nuke

[tardy fiber]

Ssmorty, silver, ethan johto fire team lets gooo

[opaque cargo]

Im glad i got shiny rayquaza when im in reroll phase

[tardy fiber]

Shiny ray is good

[opaque cargo]

Yup still use him occassionally

Man i use him a lot

Lol

He is a good dragon and flying type

Can be both special and physical

Need blaziken to complete my hoenn starter too

Oh man

Last time hoenn va. There are no kyogre and groudon.

[tawny dagger]

Shiny Rayquaza gets a lot of undeserved hate from the community

[bleak falcon]

Eh, I think these days it’s died down into proper criticism

His Sync Move is kinda garbage, but his regular move damage is good

[opaque cargo]

Cause of his stat? With the new 12.5k cs parameter. He is my go too unit. Cause that debuff param is so good to let go

I just pair him with colress. Team wide def down and he just nuke the sides easily

[bleak falcon]

His base Attack is on the lower end and his Sync Move has Mega base power penalty, yeah (and he only gets a Speed increase from Mega)

[tardy fiber]

Cannot wait for 3* flying gear, 3* gear stat boosts looks much more apparent on pairs with low stats like silver ... annisteven also has low stats

[bleak falcon]

His regular move damage makes up for it with Dragon Ascent’s nuts base power and Good Form

[opaque cargo]

I just need anni skyla. Then he is complete

If the new mf is a flying zone setter, might be perfect for him

[bleak falcon]

If you’ve got a good Support for both then yeah, they work well together

Otherwise Kahili or Darach is a great teammate for A. Steven

[opaque cargo]

Wait why kahili?

[bleak falcon]

Kahili has a good Sync nuke

[tardy fiber]

Or flying rebuff, kinda thankful that DeNa introduced rebuff. So i can skip non fave zone units and hope that a rebuff fave will appear

[bleak falcon]

So she can handle Sync nuke while A. Steven does regular move damage

Kahili just spams Peck and sets up for her nuke when the time comes

[opaque cargo]

Annddd…darach?

Great Sync nuke, but takes a while to set up

So A. Steven can handle the regular move damage while Darach sets up his nuke

[opaque cargo]

Both are tech. Im having a hard time completing stage with tech syncing

Maybe causei rarely ex them

[bleak falcon]

Kahili is Strike, btw

[opaque cargo]

If flying weak i just a.steven sync. Oh i didnt ex kahili. Maybe i should

[bleak falcon]

No EX, sadly

[tough oriole]

Kahilli has no ex

[bleak falcon]

Not yet

[tough oriole]

Darach wouldn’t even need it, his nuke is already very good

[opaque cargo]

Err. Then i think a.steven ex is better

[bleak falcon]

Not really

[tough oriole]

On type 3/5 it would be, but anything below that wouldn’t be

[bleak falcon]

Dragon Ascent should be able to easily clear the sides once the center goes down anyways

[opaque cargo]

No problem handling flying weak with A.Steven so far even without zone. He is already strong with the debuff param

[opaque cargo]

Oh u guys means to offtype? Yeah offtyping bit hard with A.Steven. Need that zone or rebuff

[tough oriole]

||Like ik this was kanto cs 10k pts, but its a 2v1. You could easily slot def debuffs or a 2nd strike

[opaque cargo]

Uhh what?

[tardy fiber]

Its a video that have duo annisteven with leaf gameplay

[hasty umbra]

Proving you Anni Steven not able to off type is incorrect

[opaque cargo]

Lol someone said he is bad the other said he is fine. Whats the deal guys?

[upbeat lotus]

he is good

its just his sync is bad

[opaque cargo]

The video shown otherwise. That sync seem fine.

Yea i know he is good

[tough oriole]

If you compare any unit to the best of the best ofc they’ll seem bad

[rotund sleet]

cringe unit

[tough oriole]

What good is there to him

(Nov, ignore this)

[cunning swan]

Welcome to the anni steven debate, it's been going on since 2021

[cunning swan]

I know how to trash on my faves if needed

[cunning swan]

There are f2p options available

[tough oriole]

Boring character with a boring kit

[cunning swan]

Very straightforward gameplay, where's the fun in that

[fallen path]

Character doesn’t even talk to me

[upbeat lotus]

~~its fun seeing everything die so fast ~~

[cunning swan]

He greeted me when i logged in the other day with "..." Dunno what I was expecting

[tough oriole]

Then use other faster pairs

[cunning swan]

Can't even set up his own haymaker until after sync smh smh

[upbeat lotus]

good points

[glacial grove]

3 pities now
Should be safe for whatever next month has

[opaque cargo]

||Sorry guys i think im gonna pull that charizard. Mega charizard x is fav||

[violet nebula]

No need to tell us

But then take it to salt after😄

Meanwhile the rest of us will keep saving

[tardy fiber]

73,230 managed to reach back 2 pities

[violet nebula]

Excellent work sir

[upbeat lotus]

[tardy fiber]

Still have few timegated gems, bonanza have few hundred and sinnoh VA still needs 30 runs to clear all

My 4* move candies are back to a healthy amount, luckily i strengthen my will to not claim other stuff using lodge stones than certificates.

Now working on 52/61 lvl 150

[violet nebula]

Good stuff

[tardy fiber]

I might manage to make all of my faves 150 in few months, even easier if there's only 1 new fave next month but i can make 3/4 faves 150 in same period

[topaz compass]

Imo anniSteven is the worst MF

I pulled every MF as it came out, except that one. So that should tell you something

I did get him on rerun though to complete collection

[broken mulch]

All that tells me is you ran out of gems for Steven

[topaz compass]

I could have scraped a pity together before he left but I didn't want to have 0 gems

It was more like I boycotted the first time hoping Dena would buff him

[tardy fiber]

I like my annisteven, he covers my flying physical damage coverage...i have ssethan for flying special damage...also shiny ray is cool

[opaque cargo]

Who doesnt love a dragon who lives for hundred of years in the ozone layer

[opaque cargo]

Oh my oh my oh my….

[crisp wraith]

So we know how many gems are available till end of May?

Do*

[topaz compass]

5950 new gems left (not yet obtainable)

I think the 3k rally is separate too

[crisp wraith]

Alright cool appreciate it

And we don’t know how many in the month of June until datamine right

[tough oriole]

We wouldn’t know until datamine, correct

[bleak falcon]

#1012256199128915968 has a gem count, btw, and within 1-2 days after datamine happens it’ll have one for June as well

[halcyon dune]

I think this is the first time I skipped a full month of scouts. Feeling very zen

[naive imp]

Getting close to the 36K too

I would be there if sc zinnia didn't bait me i honestly didn't even had the intention of using her i just think she's a very neat character.

[crisp oracle]

60K again, I need four pities lol

[rotund monolith]

i will not be letting the giratina cynthia sway me before the datamine

[rustic heron]

good

cynthia is cringe

[rotund monolith]

i do not have any decent ghost types that could take advantage of her kit except for allister anyway
