Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[tardy fiber]

Gauntlet only need 10 streaks for the good reward and harcore players can do more

Hope this one will be like it like only need 5k points to get all rewards and those that want to use full water teams can get extra

[hard wave]

Oh yeah just check using a certain type gives boosts

[tardy fiber]

Well I won't mind if we only need some points to gain all rewards and let hardcore gamers compete with one another like gauntlet.

[hard wave]

Maybe, but it’ll prob just be cs 3

[tardy fiber]

Hope so, because there's only 5 fights and params like cs

Not sure what is different with special cs we currently having

[hard wave]

It’s mono type and gives different rewards

Its kind of a cool way to use NCs tho

[tardy fiber]

Well they said if use certain type gains extra point, so we can still use non water i guess for upcoming mode just like special cs...special cs has params as well

And they mentioned 5 fights, so like cs and not gauntlet

No points limit for params, current cs also does that just they only show 2.5k max but we can even do 5k if we want to

[hard wave]

There could still be a max but u dont set it, it just depends on ur performance

[tardy fiber]

Yep i hope the high points rewards will only be like power up tickets or more spirits so i wont mind losing it

[crisp oracle]

So close to victory guys

[tardy fiber]

Today reset gives exactly 100 gems that can help you reach 70k gems

[deft glen]

congrats, keep on saving

it pays off

[crisp oracle]

||Saving works, and I’ll need more lmao. Irida and Johto Trio want my gems||

[deft glen]

|| Irida and SS May will drain my gems this month. Irida is a top fave for me alongside Serena and Marnie ||

if I didn't save I'd be in a tough spot now

[crisp oracle]

||Wait for datamine for SS May imo, if you can’t wait for Irida it’s fine ig||

[deft glen]

|| for SS May I might wait cuz she's so close to datamine, but Irida I'm getting her as soon as she drops ||

so many spoilers lol

[rotund monolith]

||i will have enuff for pity so that's wondyful :3 im focusing on pitying irida and happy knowing the others have boring kits to distract from the horrible physical pain im in||

[upbeat lotus]

||keep saving everyone||

[vernal glade]

||I am indeed, Summer Hilda, SS Hilda and SS Hilbert will soon be mine then the BW1 protags are completed for now.||

[crisp oracle]

||Johto Trio will soon be mine||

[deft glen]

keep up the saving, lots of possible faves in the near future

[deft glen]

|| I think they'll be here soon ||

[topaz compass]

Yeah people are excited for Hisui, this one got way more tweets in first day than the last one

[deft glen]

Summer Hilda is next datamine, I think, so soon

[vernal glade]

Yep.

[topaz compass]

Are we expecting genesect rerun soon? Seems like I should just bite the bullet and get him on rerun because good special ice units are unlikely anytime soon after glaceon

[lapis pine]

I think that’s a bad idea

[vernal glade]

I should calculate and see when I’ll reach my milestone.

[topaz compass]

Better to be patient and wait for true monotype studs?

[wind nymph]

Unless you really like Genesect don’t pull imo

[topaz compass]

I feel obligated to use articuno +/or cyncario with Glaceon already, so monotype isn't happening anytime soon

[lapis pine]

Glaceon doesn’t have any particular synergy with him outside of of special ice. Plus you will get a special ice fav eventually. Pulling for units just because they’re what’s best in a given spot atm is how you end up with a bunch of units that you don’t use anymore because you have actual favs that powercrept them

[topaz compass]

Well he is the best bug special too

My 2/5 alder would like a buddy

[lapis pine]

Yeah but this isn’t meta discussion channel it’s resource saving lol

There will be better options that come around that you like more

[topaz compass]

True. I feel like talking about future units that aren't currently available falls under saving though. Because we are all saving for something right(

Or is the goal to be Chest, save for EoS

[lapis pine]

Yeah, but their reasoning for wanting hilbert is just because he gets a lot from glaceon. However there will inevitably be better units that fit with glaceon and if hilbert isn’t a fav then eventually he will be discarded from teams

So it’s best to just wait for the day a fav comes

[topaz compass]

Yeah I guess there is a reason I skipped him on release lol

(It was actually to boycott 5/5 grid having 2nd rebuff)

[tardy fiber]

True, hoping for regice or articuno or iron bundle for ice rebuff

[uneven pewter]

So here’s my beef with hilbert and take this for what you will

Hilbert is great for a lot but he is an extremely greedy unit

He wants 3/5 minimum

And he even tries to pressure you to 5/5 to get maximum output

I got him off a daily and i still have him parked at 1/5

He’s a lot more reliable than alder for bug weak

As for the off type weaknesses the biggest drawback for hilbert is that his grid tends to favor one type at a time but it makes him a jack of all trades type

There’s not really much of a neutral area on his grid

Which is why i second what pinky said about just use a dedicated type for that role and only get hilbertsect if you like the pair

This game moves way too fast meta wise

[hard wave]

Hilbert is kind of made to be on type

Or a special defense debuffer

|| I plan to get him and 3/5 him, maybe july if we get unova rerun? ||

[cunning swan]

you mean debuffer?

[hard wave]

Yeah

[tardy fiber]

True facts

Kinda why I didn't ride ice zone hype train

Thanks to rebuff exists, even missing some zones are fine...well if it still doesn't exist on your faves, even def debuffs or spdef debuffs can still clear contents

[rotund monolith]

that's why im kinda happy this game isn't hard. you dont have to think super hard about team comp to clear most of the game's content, meaning you dont have to keep up with the meta

[tardy fiber]

Cannot wait for anniv, well not about the limited pairs...but if they added a bunch of bp pairs like last year's, it will be nice for players especially now that these bp pairs will arrive with EX unlocked...well except bp master units

[broken mulch]

The only true meta is to pull for every unit anyway

Because LG

[untold tide]

Hoenn VA rerun again

In the two months I have logged into pomas

I will have seen 3 hoenn va

Where's my ex sycamore

My ex silver

[cunning swan]

don't know who in dena loves hoenn so much

calm down dena, zinnia's EX and powerboost reran two months ago

[vernal glade]

Ya, this is getting strange…

They could’ve just chose a Johto VA or Unova VA rerun

[cunning swan]

considering the johto love this month, I thought Johto VA would rerun

[untold tide]

Loves hoenn but zinnia ex needs so much help

Why does all her moves debuff herself

[untold tide]

Ikr

[cunning swan]

ironically fits zinnia's character

[untold tide]

I was looking forward to finally making silver

Powerful

Like, his PB actually matters by a lot

I just want the best for him sadge

[cunning swan]

wasn't her role destroying the meteor basically a suicide mission

[untold tide]

True ig

[cunning swan]

Silver's good pre-powerboost, but someone at dena seems to love silver so much and managed to sacrifice a firstborn to make his powerboost really great

[untold tide]

Yea I want him at his best...but noooo hoenn va rerun again

[lean mango]

What is DeNa cooking

[rare swan]

7.8/10 too much Hoenn

[turbid sapphire]

when i started i desperately wanted zinnia's pb sooooooooooooooooo

[upbeat pilot]

100k! really glad I found this channel. i’ve learned a lot from you all just by lurking

[violet nebula]

Keep it up

[tardy fiber]

I forgot about the special rally missions, so this reset doesn't feel too dry for me...finally cleared it and got 500 gems

84,665 gems

[compact pasture]

How many gems is 4 pities?

[vestal leaf]

144k

Circa

[lean mango]

146,400

[compact pasture]

Will probably hit 4 pities in July

[lean mango]

nice

[summer goblet]

Gem report ready and accounted for

Will not go for 400k for a while

[wind nymph]

Is this a good idea to skip june and july both month and save till august 4th anni for big boom damage dealers grab??

[violet nebula]

Up to you

[bleak falcon]

It really is down to preference

[violet nebula]

Like you really like the pairs coming out? Then yea sure have a pull

To be fair they are all solid pairs, ice getting treated nicely

You need ice/ or grass types? Then pull.

[bleak falcon]

Fortunately Grass and Ice are pretty f2p and budget-friendly (unless you wanna off-type with them)

[violet nebula]

That is true as well

[vestal leaf]

There's a ton of Big boom damage dealers, supports/enablers are a better investment meta wise

[wind nymph]

Yeah non of them my favorite i need just big boom 💥damage dealers , will u pls suggest some of them

[feral vale]

Let’s keep meta talk regarding pairs to #916852389347196958

This thread is basically “Not a favorite? Skip.”

[vestal leaf]

^

But tbh saving for meta is still saving

It's just that meta by definition gets powercrept every 3-4 months

So it's a worse reason to save than faves

Because if you want big numbers, even basic f2p units do that

I beat dragon weak 3k csmm with Clair every time to make her Draco do 30-35k damage because she's my fave

[cunning swan]

based

[vestal leaf]

That's way more than what I need to clear the stage

And she's probably one of the worst f2p DPS in the game

[vestal leaf]

Not too based because I'm a hoarder so she's been 5* 0/20 for 3 years now

The day she gets an alt or ex I'll 20/20 her tho

[sand crown]

Meta is a slippery slope, believe me

[grim plover]

i hope irida gets flareon and not espeon in the lodge

i MAY consider of pulling her for that (plus the kit)

[cunning swan]

Considering Adaman got Vaporeon, Flareon for Irida would make sense

[tardy jolt]

I think that Espeon is going to be released as a fair unit, it’s the only one left and they could pair it with Red or Sabrina, alongside many other profitable trainers

[topaz compass]

Espeon needs rebuff or it won't have a reason to exist other than money

[violet nebula]

That is the only reason this game exists🤣

[grim plover]

status reflection on entry

(please be psychic wish and rebuff)

[lean mango]

I kinda want Espeon just because Espeon

My lovely alien cat

[grim plover]

same

but i wouldn't complain if it's meta

[lean mango]

I can't even tell what's Meta

[violet nebula]

Do we need meta?

[lean mango]

Not really but if someone wants to do that then sure go off queen

It's just hard what is considered good these days , I thought Eusine was good but then people are saying the opposite

[grim plover]

it's because of the powercreep

he's very good but when you compare him to others it's not that impressive

[lean mango]

[grim plover]

meta doesnt matter when it's your fav tho

i clear every fire stage with blue arcanine

[lean mango]

yeah i know

It'd just be nice to see the guy I've been waiting for ages to do good

[hard wave]

This is hoenn’s 2nd rerun?

|| I wish it was a dual banner with brendos and mayziken, since I rlly wanted brendos but missed him last time and kind of want may as well but not a priority, oh well its one banner less I have to pull on ||

[vestal leaf]

it's basically a shopping list
"how many of these does your kit have?"

• rebuff
• zone/wheater/terrain or multiple of these (thanks tapus)
• fast stats drops
• PMUN/SMUN
• fast setupping
• ramping

right now average "meta" unit has like 3-4 of these, 12 months ago it was 2-3 and it will keep increasing the more gimmicks they add

it still barely matters because f2p supports still carry in 90% of stages tho

[bleak falcon]

Eusine’s looking to be strong, it’s just that Water is an absurdly stacked type

[ashen thunder]

Rolling for meta is ez
Just wait till rats get powercrept ♿♿♿

[timber wren]

he’s still great he’s just probably one of the easier PFs to skip this year if you’re not head over heels for him

[lean mango]

ig but even then it appears he doesn't do good in his own competition

[timber wren]

he looks really nice specifically for the kris+ethan comp

but i think you’ll be very happy with him esp after waiting so long

[lean mango]

I'll def be I just wanna see his banner do well

[violet nebula]

Maybe he'll get a Sygna suit

[lean mango]

Gotta see how much they like him

[vestal leaf]

he's good, it's just that water has been in the top 3 most stacked types for years

so he's got hard challengers to beat

[violet nebula]

And still is

But hey let's stack it some more

[vestal leaf]

i mean, they've been stabilizing it, kinda

cserena, eusine, volcanion are all great but nothing insane in terms of powercreep

they do different stuff

and they all do it very well

[signal halo]

After all

If they do anything beyond ash and sst red

The game might crack open

cBede is also game warping in his own right

And I think I didn't even put candies on him yet

[hard wave]

Wdym by ramping

[sturdy flower]

lowering countdown

[hard wave]

Ah

[tardy fiber]

He is a fave also ||He is kinda good, using only 3/5 grid, i can activate 150% sync move damage...trap and sync 5, double down 2, weather warrior 3 from grid, and trap and buff 5 from passive so total 15. This doesn't include another 5 from rain and 2 or 3 from lucky skill (cs2 or ww3)||

[sturdy flower]

||288 spatk...||

||also where did you even get the "5 from rain"||

[tardy fiber]

If you pair him with a rain dance user, didn't rain give 50% boost? Like sun

[sturdy flower]

Yes, but rain is multiplicative

[tardy fiber]

Thats why i didn't include in initial 15

As rain and lucky skill kinda outside influence but the 15 is in base kit, well there's brainpower too but I don't have enough grid energy to activate it

[sturdy flower]

his sync damage is similar to Lysandre's

[tardy fiber]

Yep he got a lot of multipliers so he unfortunately get Archie low base stats treatment

Just i want to see his buddy move activation later, does it also count trainer move or need to spam 2 whirlpools or 2 blizzards

Or can 1 tm 1 whirlpool

[tough oriole]

||It says user’s move, so TM should work, like Ash||

[tardy fiber]

I see, because if its like lucas, it only counts tm

[sturdy flower]

it says "Trainer uses the move"

on Lucas

user refers to the unit

it basically means "this pokemon/trainer combo has to do something, not allies"

[tough oriole]

||Same wording as B Thunderbolt so TM -> Whirlpool should activate it||

[tardy fiber]

So i can do 1 tm 1 whirlpool then thats nice, not gonna touch blizzard especially now that i keep using standand damage reduction 8 param

But will be a while to 3/5, im in need of more strike candies

Sshilda 1/5, sslana 1/5 and ||eusine probably will be 1/5 too||

[deft glen]

|| candy Hilda ||

[tardy fiber]

Luckily i only get faves so I don't feel my water typing is bloated, there's only 5 including him...but psychic does feel like it, 10 psychic faves

[tardy fiber]

No, i will wait for anniv and see if there's fair select that has sshilda

[deft glen]

IF there's a select

[tardy fiber]

If got, i will get it and see if she's 2/5 or 3/5 from it and give her the remaining candy to 3/5 after

Because sslana and ||eusine|| are kinda new so they probably not in select, but sshilda has high chance in it

[deft glen]

If Anni has no selects I'll abandon the sync orb bundle

[tardy fiber]

Will be quite a while before we could know that, so you have to keep buying the bundle

[tough oriole]

DeNA: Mwahaha, by having less select scouts, players will be forced to spend more

Players: stop spending

[lapis pine]

DeNa: nooooooo

[tardy fiber]

Sslana might be in ny select so i just gonna 2/5 her too as well and 3/5 using dupe from select...any chance to save move candies are good

[deft glen]

I'll keep 12k and be fine - I think

I think no select batch has cost more than that

[tardy fiber]

Hope there's seasonal select my falliris already 2/5 for months due to i keep on hopium for it to happen

[tough oriole]

I have so many seasonal faves that need select reruns

[deft glen]

Summer Marnie, my beloved

[tardy fiber]

If there's 3 selects and it all cost 5k...you still lack 3k gems

[tough oriole]

||Fallister, SuN, and Lilliebee ||

[deft glen]

I'm only lacking Summer Marnie

[tardy fiber]

Summer units rerun on July you both should prepare

[deft glen]

Many faves in a row

Thank god I saved for so many months

[tough oriole]

I don’t want to use free gems so i’m just coping for a select…

I don’t want 4/5 Inteleon

[tardy fiber]

Yep if only 1 summer unit you want better to use select

I wonder if DeNa will do SC select

[deft glen]

I'm almost considering the Tiered rerun

[tough oriole]

Istg if there are multiple seasonal selects but all my faves are in the same select pool

[deft glen]

Perfect reaction

What's istg?

[tough oriole]

I swear to god
(I guess it doesn’t make that much sense in this context )

[deft glen]

Oh lol

[tardy fiber]

I did tiered rerun for pokewar sc because there's 3 pairs that i want move levels...||glad to say my gamble works, got dupes for scguzma/scdiantha/schilda all that i wanted could've been worse||

[tough oriole]

I guess something that would have made more sense would be “istg if all my faves are in the same banner i’ll cry”

[deft glen]

I remember that with the Anni Seasonal banner

I had neither Palerena nor any Marnies

[tough oriole]

There was a select 1 and a select 2 iirc

[tardy fiber]

I dislike they dumping all seasonal units in the rerun pool, xmas units pool probably already bloated like lodge banner

8 units in rerun pool for this year xmas

6 summer and 6 fall so they are catching up

[deft glen]

Imagine how nice, .25 chance banner

[tough oriole]

I’m coping for a lowered pity cost on super seasonal banners

Like 300 or 250 scout points

[deft glen]

Super seasonal?

[tough oriole]

The banners with 4+ units

[deft glen]

Oh, that, somehow I thought there was something else I had never heard of

[tough oriole]

Where the rates are split between 2%

[tardy fiber]

The one on anniv?

[tough oriole]

There’s the solo, dual featured, triple featured, and anything with 4 or more is called a “Super” scout

[tardy fiber]

I thought that banner is dangerous as it usually cost pity. Plus there's no tiered for it

[deft glen]

I hadn't paid attention to that

[tough oriole]

Yea that’s why i want them to lower pity for them, since you’ll probably have to go to it

[tardy fiber]

Man ||i feel itchy to get dupes for strike pair to save candies but i need to be strong, this upcoming months toward anniv are dangerous so i need to save a bunch of gems while getting faves, hope you guys can help me to avoid temptation of pulling dupes||

1950 gems reset today

[deft glen]

Yeah, I'd highly advise you against that

Specially considering your fave list

It's easy to get bombarded with 3 fav MFs or something like that

[tardy fiber]

True, man im glad the MF on June isnt my fave

But with my track record on PF

I already experienced 3 pokefairs pity

Ssmorty, lucas, sslana...so much for the 2%

Thanks to June MF, so we are only missing Kanto Pride and Alola Pride now

[deft glen]

I've had two MF pities and 1 seasonal pity

[hard wave]

Isnt there like 40ish pokefair legendaries/UBs/mythicals?

3 isnt bad

[tardy fiber]

More i think, even the one i already collected are already 61

Minus 4 as theres extra kyurem, rayquazza, diancie, ho-oh

So 57 non duplicates

[hard wave]

|| so far ive been to pity twice; ss steven cuz I got him 10th multi, ash I got 12th and cmarnie was from pity wouldve gone to pity for hop too since I got him 11th multi but I had other stuff I wanted ||

[tardy fiber]

Both chop and cmarnie cost me pity, annisteven is my first pity in the game, zerena cost me pity too...i think thats all for MF

[hard wave]

-9 from legendary adventures, -2 cuz gladion and lusamine, -14 from masterfairs, -5 from SC, -2 from seasonals

[lean mango]

Need those gems

[tardy fiber]

5 bp master units

14 master fairs

Im happy with bp master units existence although some people said they robbed potential pairs, but each one of them is 36.6k gems saved for me

[hard wave]

Oh yeah bp masterfairs, so 3/24 pokefairs pitied

Going to pity sucks and ive only had to do it twice || and one I got the featured last multi ||

[tardy fiber]

Pity always sucks kinda why i saved, like people wondering how i saved gems well its like this upcoming month, month with 1 fave or none at all, i just grabbed 1 copy and save

[hard wave]

I dont think ill go to pity if I already got the featured before the 12th multi, kind of regret doing it for ss steven but ig its fine since he can be very helpful

[hard wave]

Yeah I only go for 1 copy, ss steven was the only time I went for multiple

[tardy fiber]

Like last year's anniv gave a lot of gems and i only have 1 fave shaymin, so huge amount of remaining gems saved

Save gems on those months to have enough gems for multiple faves month

[hard wave]

months with 3+ favs can be rough

[tardy fiber]

Yep but it might be over soon, there's only 1 VA left

[hard wave]

Luckily this month is just 2

[tardy fiber]

Oh i only have 1 this month

[hard wave]

Hopefully…. But I also have 12 pairs to get on reruns (including ss morty)

[hard wave]

I mean for me; eusine and ss morty

Luckily I skipped alola VA

[tardy fiber]

Yep thats just perks for those that played this game first, i think i joined this game around a year + later...i started on the last few days of maxie and archie first released scouts

I saved a lot during that time, they doesn't shower much of my faves

[hard wave]

I started in feb 2022, all of them are Sinnoh VA-Unova VA pairs, except red and ingo

But I wasnt spending responsibly for a while and only made the list in january this year

[tardy fiber]

I think after maxie and archie, my next target is lear...so there's 2 months of pure gem savings

[hard wave]

What about 2nd anni trio?

[tardy fiber]

Well if you can try grab the one you missed from selects

I did that

To save gems

[hard wave]

Im f2p

[tardy fiber]

Well dont worry they start rerunning pokefair on poma day now

SsN this june will be the first

[hard wave]

If iOS had smth like opinion rewards maybe id go for selects

[hard wave]

I think he’s on the 27th and for the special CS like victor

[tardy fiber]

It costs me around 2 pity worth to get all of them plus ssleon

[hard wave]

One thing im worried about is that masterfairs will match the content of the month they come for, and I have 3 MFs I want who could just show up in any month

[hard wave]

Not bad

[hard wave]

Like LuSSa came at the end of april, right before alola VA and SSR Cynthia right before june, with hisui content

My guess is next month will have hoenn stuff, may doesnt have an alt lodge photo yet and jirachi is related to summer iirc

• steel weak CS on week 4

[tardy fiber]

Even better, so pokefair rerun in once in 2 months for special cs, and the other month have gauntlet pokefair rerun and there might be VA pokefair rerun so lots of pf reruns every month

If you cannot get the unit just wait for next time

I think they rerun old VA every month now

And there's only 8 to rotate

7 for now as Galar VA haven't exist

[tardy fiber]

Nice, that will help with my steel, even better if its a tech

[rotund monolith]

i want my ex sycamore and ex silver NOW!!!!

[hard wave]

Hopefully

[tardy fiber]

There's EX silver just he is with sneasel

[rotund monolith]

NOOOOO

[hard wave]

Assuming they’ll just redo LG 1-8, next month should have ingo and red with diantha, who I wouldnt mind copies for tho none of my other PF favs were in them

Maybe I can go for the n/gloria/ss cynthia banner to get gloria and n for lodge but it depends on my gems and what we get that month

[tardy fiber]

Well there's also summer rerun that you have to watch out for

If you have summer faves

[hard wave]

All my favs r pokefair or masterfair

[rotund monolith]

my ingoless emmet might have ingo with him if ingo runs next month but also it would be funnier if ||i pulled hisuian ingo and paired him with emmet||

[hard wave]

Luckily not chasing any seasonals and SCs but there are some that I wouldnt mind having incase we get free selects for them

[tardy fiber]

That will be harder to collect than my faves of legendaries, mythicals, UBs...good luck

[rotund monolith]

i love having a gen pool fave

[hard wave]

Rlly?

[rotund monolith]

shit’s great

i have colress at 3/5 and it’s wonderful

[tardy fiber]

I got emmet , i grabbed him due to scared of first ever 3* rock gear event...then I realise people even brought ssbrock and brock for it

[rotund monolith]

didnt have to break my bank

[rotund monolith]

i got lucky with the bugbros, i wanted bug emmet but i pulled bug ingo too

[tough oriole]

I had Lillie below 3/5 for the longest time

[tardy fiber]

Oh i thought you collecting all PF and MF

[hard wave]

No

[tardy fiber]

Still waiting for my 3/5 lucian and 1/5 melony

[hard wave]

I still have no melony or shauna, 1/5 lucian grimsley lana courtney looker gordie and colress, 2/5 volkner bea and gladion

[deft glen]

Still waiting for 3/5 Courtney

I'll EX her as soon as that happens

I still have neither Colress nor Hugh

[tardy fiber]

I also kinda want 3/5 hugh, his kit looks like more a gambler than kimono grimsley

[glass abyss]

I have full pity for the month

[topaz compass]

I doubt it gets rebuff and terrain while releasing rebuff for first time. Though Adaman and Irida just got 2 things while introducing a new thing. But Espeon unlikely to be MF unless with Red

[topaz compass]

Excadrill grid expansion with ground zone

[grim plover]

||but SS Wally already did that||

[topaz compass]

I really hope more PF get added to the monthly lodge banner soon. I'm skipping Raihan this month even though he is my only lodge unit missing. Hopefully there are a couple more limited mixed in by the time he appears there again

[hard wave]

The extra fairs r nice but they have spotlight rates || tho I did a multi on N in february and got my 2nd raihan, first came in 4 multis from his first lodge banner ||

[topaz compass]

Yeah feels like most lodge banner PFs are easy to just wait for a triple banner where they are a low value throwin

[hard wave]

Hopefully the ones im missing come in a banner with other favs I want

[glass abyss]

When he uses Sandstorm he also sets Ground Zone

[tardy fiber]

I wonder if Adaman and Irida will be added to the lodge banner after these 2 months June and July are over

[tough oriole]

[tardy fiber]

They are lodge guests, DeNa cannot back off from their promises now

[bleak falcon]

Iirc they said they wouldn’t add Master Fairs to it already

[tardy fiber]

I wonder if lodge adaman counts as master fair unit as well, as need a master fair unit to unlock it...a support vaporeon as well

[upbeat lotus]

if an unit doesnt have master passive and they are not gacha exclusive, they are not master fair unit

[tardy fiber]

I hope lodge irida has eeveelutions as well so that i don't need to pull her

[tough oriole]

I doubt they’ll put a special mon in lodge

It’ll probably be Vaporeon

[hard wave]

I think she’ll have flareon, since adaman got vaporeon

[tough oriole]

Oops that’s what i meant

[deft glen]

Irida in Lodge would be fantastic, regardless of the mon

[tough oriole]

What did they say, June 30th for lodge irida?

[deft glen]

wait

they did say that??????

[hard wave]

Dont think ill be going for either, kind of annoying how lodge pairs can be locked behind masterfairs tho

[tough oriole]

Look at the dev letter or update trailer

[hard wave]

Pokefairs ig are fine, since I can maybe get them if I like others on a triple banner with them or a free select

[deft glen]

I completely looked over it

[untold tide]

Yes, I was here for hoenns initial rerun (and then took an 8 months break)

[deft glen]

Legit so happy

[maiden kayak]

ngl

i think i shouldnt be zenning anymore

i calculated with the 25-27k avg per month

it will take me 5 years to clear my entire stock of gems

[tough oriole]

If you pity once a month?

[maiden kayak]

thats assuming each month is one pity

yes

540k/9k difference per month

thats not accounting months that gives full pity

[tough oriole]

What do you define as not zenning

[maiden kayak]

||start spending a unit (a pity worth) every month||

[cunning swan]

considering your gem count, Aqua, I think it's justified

[untold tide]

Well, think about it as the reward of having been zenning for a long time

You've worked hard, now enjoy zen retirement

[tough oriole]

If it brings you joy, then go ahead, but idk if pulling a rando most months will bring joy

[maiden kayak]

true but ngl its also due to dailies and insane luck

of cos im still not pulling ♂️for sure

[untold tide]

Although I'll agree with this sentiment tbh

[timber wren]

dailies really give you a lot more wiggle room

[maiden kayak]

just sayinv i should lower down my criteria if anything

[untold tide]

Yeah you can start pulling for likes

[tough oriole]

Ig that’s fair

[untold tide]

Instead of faves

[cunning swan]

what's your criteria other than female trainers anyway?

[deft glen]

I agree with this

[maiden kayak]

instead of extreme favs

likes are fine

[oak crest]

ngl I would be really bored if i have like 6 skip months consecutively

[maiden kayak]

originally it was majestic and non skirts

but recently just lowered by criteria

[cunning swan]

females and non-skirts? ha

[maiden kayak]

yea

im still keeping ♀️component tho

[tough oriole]

You’d get used to it

[untold tide]

Alternatively you can pull dupes of your extreme faves

But I feel like that'd be completely unsatisfying

[maiden kayak]

the thing is

i have 2 digit worth of candies

of every type

[oak crest]

probably wont happen since i do pull for meta whose kits I liked or find interesting due to little to no faves

altho many fell off my expectations (either their kit or sync grid)

[maiden kayak]

and honestly

i wouldnt candy past 3/5

unless the unit really needs

but its really rare

[deft glen]

impossible for me, I like most female protags

[hard wave]

Ah ok

[topaz compass]

@maiden kayak game won't make it that far. So you should pull 45k per month

Starting now

[rare swan]

I love this for you, honestly - been having similar thoughts

There's no need to be too militant with our gems when you've got a huge buffer

Gotta enjoy the game too

[topaz compass]

Unless you are Chest of course

[maiden kayak]

true

[topaz compass]

"If you ain't first, you're last"

[maiden kayak]

ngl

i need to get used to ||spending every month||

to get that comfort zone

[topaz compass]

Especially if you also buy $3 bundles and have a stash of those

[maiden kayak]

yea

im already thinking of using those for general scout favs

the one in paid banners

[topaz compass]

I did that twice, 2k ones the first time they had sonia and courtney, since I had 0 at time of each

And I still have only 3 yamper and 2 Courtney so it wasn't a waste still lol

[timber wren]

i hit a similar point earlier this year

[lapis pine]

I think the purpose of saving should be to make pulling more comfortable and stress free and also to avoid getting sucked in by the gacha whole spending money that you otherwise wouldn’t. If you feel as though you can do that with the amount you’ve saved, I think you can confidently feel like you’ve succeeded in the endeavour

[timber wren]

still careful and strategic about how i spend but more wiggle room on going for units that may not be a top fave but will help me enjoy the game and unlock new fun play styles

[uneven pewter]

I mean this is going to hinge heavily if ash ever reruns

Especially since ash by all accounts was masters equivalent of a collab unit

Bottom line is though the game has more than enough pairs in the game for everyone to find enjoyment in whatever it is they desire

And gauntlet has a low barrier threshold in terms of minimum clearing for the top rewards

[tardy fiber]

Cannot wait to see the upcoming game mode, i hope i can still get all rewards in it with less points as i tend to use my faves to clear contents...contents that make me have to use non faves leave bad taste in my mouth unless EBE

[uneven pewter]

Anyways the reason i brought ash up was mostly because i am still waiting to see if he remains the ceiling or if he gets replaced

[uneven pewter]

I know the feeling, even the elite 4 super effect mode wasn’t too bad

[tardy fiber]

Even the special weakness cs can use offtype faves...but this one they hinted that use certain type awards more points

[uneven pewter]

Albeit we’re veterans…so most players aren’t good to compare us to how difficult something is or isnt

[tardy fiber]

At least with recent dev letter, we knew that it will only be 5 fights like cs and params add points

And the type is Water

[uneven pewter]

Hmm

Well at least it’s a type we all have a bajillion of

Or should at least

[tardy fiber]

I only have 5 water faves, well hope that i can still offtype some of em and use params to add points for rewards well just gonna see how it goes later

[topaz compass]

Anybody playing the game for 2 years will complete all content. Funny how people always wonder if new thing will be too hard. Answer is always no

[severe bridge]

^

[tardy fiber]

I still haven't yet 2 years, only 703 days

[lapis pine]

I’m only 651 days I believe

[tardy fiber]

We are still noob

[lapis pine]

Mhm

[tardy fiber]

No wonder im noob, I didn't have Jessie and James

[lapis pine]

Same

Even worse is I don’t have bugscyther

[tardy fiber]

[oak crest]

579 days old... im even worse

[old thorn]

I cannot beat the Champion Stadium, as well as any Battle Challenges. I have been playing this since day 1. Admittedly, I have also been saving all of my gems for forever, which explains my lack of 6EX characters. I think that when the moment comes that I do spend them, I won't have any more obstacles.

[topaz compass]

@old thorn how any gems you at, and did you log in everyday to get 99% of gems possible

Okay I see your full name now for gem count

Your 400k extra is basically all the MFs I pitied

If I only had half the MF instead of all of them, I'd still be doing well

[upbeat lotus]

If you need help, feel free to visit #1009554906568462476 or #1009557516369281075 to ask for help

[old thorn]

Yep

[old thorn]

Thanks Gakon.

[sturdy hatch]

#1011675077764456519

[winged fossil]

Today marked my years worth of logins. And being at 51k gems with a decent amount left to grab feels nice

[rotund sleet]

5 paid gems

[wind nymph]

Friendly reminder there's a 43.4% chance to pull a master faire if you only do 5 multis; and only 76.4% to pull a single copy by the time you reach pity

[violet nebula]

Those are still good odds

[wind nymph]

Is the glass half full, or half empty?

[violet nebula]

Half full

[broken mulch]

Those are crap odds

[sand crown]

Given how many times I’ve had to pity an MF, ||including this one||, go in expecting to spend 36k and it’ll hurt less. Don’t go by odds, which even then are abysmal.

[cunning swan]

Just expect everything to cost 36.6k so if you get it below pity, you're pleasantly surprised

[violet nebula]

Unless you are close to pity already

May as well finish it😅

Least we get apologems too

Dena not updating properly

[topaz compass]

More apologems please

[violet nebula]

They will be incoming

Maybe... free MF pair please🤣

[tardy fiber]

I'm just gonna ||let myself lose 300 gems from EBE round 2, you're not gonna make me pull Adaman DeNa ||

[hard wave]

I didnt realize how there’s like 0 physical dps in sinnoh and also im missing SSA Cynthia rn so

[tardy fiber]

I keep using shadow force ssrcynthia for 2 hours, then i just said to myself to just stop its only 300 gems than pulling a non fave MF that might cost 36600 gems

Luckily the round 1 is easy enough, thanks DeNa...getting something is better than getting nothing at all

[hard wave]

Yeah ssr cynthia is doing basically nothing outside of sync, and she’s 3/5

[ashen thunder]

Replays had some ssrcynthia clears

Since both rats together can't do the ebe, there is some variety in replay section

[tardy fiber]

I saw some but it requires Dawn ...i rather lose 300 gems than EX non faves

[lapis pine]

I’m sure your account could do it ngl

[tardy fiber]

Well unless i have keen eye and able to flinch sides right on time with sslyra

But unfortunately my eye got some issues

And slow fingers

[lapis pine]

Obviously not the channel for this but maybe || tapu bulu, dawn and SS dawn||

Even if dawn isn’t EX

[topaz compass]

Can't you just use Torterra and 2x cynthia MF?

[tardy fiber]

I not gonna change my dawn from wise entry 2 to cs 2

I spend months for it

Using gauntlet cookies

[topaz compass]

Wise entry 2 is deluxe right? Yeah not worth changing

[hard wave]

Im trying aaron bertha and dawn with only aaron EX, cuz unfortunately I dont have ss dawn or ssa cynthia

[tardy fiber]

Don't worry im fine losing only 300 gems

[tardy fiber]

Silver deluxe

[hard wave]

They dont have ssa cynthia

[tardy fiber]

It doesn't exist in gold

[topaz compass]

Oooh very exclusive lol

[hard wave]

Mine has DC2, not going to change it out

Considering EXing dawn, wanted to save it for || ss morty || tho

[tardy fiber]

Yeap i spend months for it, not gonna sacrifice it just for 300 gems

[hard wave]

I was going to EX her soon anyway

[lapis pine]

I did it with non CS dawn and non EX

[tardy fiber]

Tapu bulu 1/5?

[lapis pine]

Yep

I didn’t use SS dawn though I used SSA Cynthia

But that was just my suggestion for a replacement

Anyway this is getting super off topic so I’ll stop talking about it here

Ping me in the extreme battle channel if you wanna continue talking

[tardy fiber]

Well losing just 300 gems than spending a pity on adaman is on topic

[lapis pine]

Yeah but theory crafting isn’t haha

[tardy fiber]

Dont worry i not gonna stress myself for it

If i cannot do i just gonna leave it

Not gonna lose my hair or mood over it

Doesn't worth

[lapis pine]

Fair

Maybe check the pins of the relevant channel in a few days when more people have posted clears to see if one is possible for you

No rush to do it right now

[tardy fiber]

Yep

Maybe i will do later after i ||got Eusine||

It will be less stress and temptation that time

[hard wave]

Wdym

[tardy fiber]

Well after i got my target of the month, it will be less stress for me to spend time on EBE

And less tempted to pull adaman

[hard wave]

Ah

[dark cliff]

EBE annoyed me and i checked out my grass roster which is somewhat lacking but I still tried at least 6k for adman

But I stopped so I still have enough for 2 pities

I need to save for Irida

Must. Not. Pull because of EBE

[tardy fiber]

🤝

Even less tempted after round 1 is easy enough

[hard wave]

Only reason I want adaman and irida is for lodge (and zone for irida)

Skipping both tho

[tardy fiber]

I thought you want ssmorty

[oak crest]

tested Darach, didnt end v well

☠️

[hard wave]

I do, im going for him

But zone and lodge r the only reason I have for getting either so im skipping them

|| + I have eusine to go for too, which I should be able to depending on my luck with ss morty ||

[oak crest]

i prob gonna have issue clearing Dawn's since I'm skipping Irida cos I really hate her kit

was expecting more from a MF

[tardy fiber]

Save for anniv MF

I have high hopes after seeing last year's anni MF performance

[hard wave]

Liko & meowscarada, leaf & leafeon, steven & aggron r going to be broken, even more than 3rd anni

[tardy fiber]

Ethan (Anniversary) Raikou

[oak crest]

hmm

??? & Jirachi when

[hard wave]

May, next month

[oak crest]

really want a spec steel

[hard wave]

[violet nebula]

SC Jasmine wants a chat

As does Raihan😄

[oak crest]

dont have either

[broken mulch]

Summer and 4th Annie scare me

[dark cliff]

We have at least 2 months

For 4th anni in august

[broken mulch]

True

But it just makes my stomach unsettle for longer lol

[tardy fiber]

Talking about anniv, I've forgotten that run up to anniv is scary as well

Usually there are good pairs on run up

[feral vale]

You called?

[drowsy saddle]

What happened to Annie 1-3? What have you done to them?

[feral vale]

[drowsy saddle]

I'm scared of 4th Annie too now

[violet nebula]

Don't fear the future

[feral vale]

[vernal glade]

10k to go 🥳

[topaz compass]

So the new prices mean gems went up 25% for 3k bundles. While the move candy coin portion of that bundle went up nearly 25% too

[violet nebula]

Yikes

[topaz compass]

Candy cost almost $15 each now, when comparing to the 3k bundles

Before it was $12

I will still buy 3k bundles because I am just google play points, but really disappointed in 33% increase for gems

33% of prior, 25% of current

[deft glen]

Dawn saved me, mine also has DC2

[deft glen]

Funnily enough, the 3k bundle is now cheaper here

I just checked now thinking it'd increase by a lot

[vestal leaf]

Here it was barely a 14%

I think American prices were too good compared to most other places so more difference = more to compensate(?)

Like, coin bundle here is 23€ which would be almost 25$

3k bundle went from 3.49 to 3.99€ so it's still waaaay better than any other paid gem trade

[feral vale]

Damn $3.99 for the EX bundle here

[topaz compass]

Yeah I understand USD prices were and possibly still are the best when taking into account the exchange rates. Still disappointing for such a big increase

[vestal leaf]

Understandable

[timber wren]

they knocked the mf gem deals down too

[tough oriole]

Did canadian prices change?

[fallen path]

good q...

it was $3.99+hst before

oh its $5.49+hst now

[upbeat lotus]

They decreased Japan price but at the same time they increased other countries price

[tough oriole]

That’s massive

[fallen path]

before price: $4.50, after price: $6.20

[dreamy onyx]

welp time to stop buying the BP bundle the price changes did some damage on low spenders

[maiden kayak]

where is this

wait

my price was reduced daily streak

didnt realised

they reduce by 0.50 sgd

[untold tide]

Ooooo

Well, guess that's a quarter of a low tier boba tea

[maiden kayak]

boba tea is whateva

[dark cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/deadpool-gasp-sarcastic-shocked-surprised-gif-20229446

[deft glen]

same here

2 BRL decrease

[fallen path]

that's 3k paid gem bundle in CDN. dunno about the other currencies

[kindred stag]

so 99 pts on one fair, how many multis do i have left before pity?

[drowsy saddle]

#poma-questions, not here

[stable ginkgo]

Which banner is worth pulling on the most rn? I'm new to the game

[ashen thunder]

The game difficulty is low
You can roll whoever you like

Also if you want gameplay help #poma-questions or #916852389347196958
This channel is for resource saving

[violet nebula]

If it not fave... don't pull

[feral vale]

Lmao they’re not in the server anymore

[violet nebula]

🤣

[lean mango]

[violet nebula]

Could be digimon fans or something... who knows 😆

[grim plover]

The voices in my head are telling me to pull for adaman but I will resit

[feral vale]

Go play the new Zelda

[winged fossil]

My minds telling me to wait but my hearts telling me to pull bc of the 1.5yr wait for mf reruns

How do I resist when it drops

[violet nebula]

Pray to Arceus

[wispy cedar]

Dude same

[tardy fiber]

I just noticed, my MYR price increase again...my 3k orb bundle increase from MYR 13.90 to 14.90 while coin bundle increase from 89.90 to 99.90 ...im so just gonna buy only orb bundle DeNa

200 stamina + 100 paid gems still stays MYR4.90 so i can still buy it twice for galar VA later

So only bundles price increase

Bp bundle increase by MYR7

[sturdy flower]

both of mine decreased

[tardy fiber]

Luckily my favourite poma orb bundle only increased by MYR 1...but i am so not gonna touch coin bundle again

[tough oriole]

Where are you situated?

[sturdy flower]

Europe

[tough oriole]

Is the cost lower than what it was before they increased it?

[sturdy flower]

more like my currency recovered after winter and gas problems

the Ukraine situation hits us sadly

[sonic cobalt]

Whoa yeah, that jump on price on the Coin+Gem bundle is ouch

I remember coin+gem being 18.99 but now it’s up to 23.99.. too rich for my minimum wage blood lmao

[tardy jolt]

In Europe the increase was minimal at least, I think they bumped the 3k bundle up 50 cents, but slightly reduced the price of other gem packages by 20 cents

Tbh, glad that they put the 100 and 300 gem bundles back to 0.99. Not that I plan to buy them instead of the bundle,but it just feels right, lol

[lapis pine]

Bruh yeah I didn’t see that price increase

That’s a bit too much for me now I think

[tardy fiber]

It will be quite a while then for me to 3/5 my faves now that coin bundle costs a lot

[topaz compass]

Ugh I almost got the candy bundle with most of my google play a couple weeks ago. Definitely priced out of it now

I don't think my surveys will keep up with this 33% 3k bundle increases in USD

[maiden kayak]

wait USD was experiencing increase?

it should be stong isnt it

[sonic cobalt]

Yeah but prices rise regardless. Can confirm that the current price of Gem EX+ bundle is now $23.99 USD

[tardy fiber]

Aqua, does SGD price increase?

I used to know a player that has IDR currency but he already quit poma a while back

[lapis pine]

Ugh the price increase sucks so bad

[upbeat lotus]

VND also got increased, but the streak bonus bundles are not affected

[lapis pine]

Lucky

I was planning on buying the candy bundle but probably not now :/

It was already on the edge of being justifiable but now not really

[maiden kayak]

nope

it decrease

[deft glen]

Could be cuz of currency fluctuation? My currency went up in value a bit and the prices decreased

[tardy fiber]

Nice, i got an increase but only for 20 day bundles...normal gem deals don't increase but not sure about master fair gem deals due to i forgot to screenshot it before price change

[feral vale]

Yeah and I said the regular EX bundle is $3.99 now

[sonic cobalt]

oh right, it was $2.99 before, wasn't it?

[feral vale]

Correct.

[dark cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/andy-samberg-body-yes-mind-no-gif-12303075

Ya gotta hold strong

[vernal glade]

Azrael right, besides, you’re saving for Zoroark. Remember your true goal.

[dark cliff]

Omg I forgot about summer units

[hard wave]

Do u want to wait a whole year to get another chance? Do u like the MFs that much?

Cuz if u dont care for them dont go for them

[oak crest]

Do u foresee yourself in using the new pairs often? Cos if u don't it's definitely not worth it. (If it's a fave you obviously will use it often)

[tough oriole]

Unless they’re mega faves, the hype would die down in a matter of months

[vernal glade]

I agree.

[hard wave]

Reasons to go for them imo are u like the character/pokemon/kit, u need a good damage dealer for their types (tho there’s good non limited options), lodge & ebe (not worth it for these reasons)

Zone and rebuff is nice too but there’s other options for increasing damage

[dark cliff]

^^ this. I like adaman the character and design, but he’s kind of really only OP for grass battles

Which I can already cheese with Celebi, Bulu, and Rillaboom

Now in Irida’s case I am Severely lacking an ice zone

So she’s gonna be a definite pull

[oak crest]

I'm skipping irida cos I don't like her grids

[vernal glade]

Im just gonna continue saving.

[hard wave]

Ill go for her if I still have gems after ss morty eusine and depending on next month

I like to collect MF/PF zones but

[dark cliff]

What’s Eusine? Water Striker?

[upbeat lotus]

he is

you can see his kit on pomatools

[dark cliff]

Oh dang it, he actually looks good for AoE water

[winged fossil]

you right, if i pull now, the only pull i can guarantee in july is zoroark.

prob best if i just sit on my gems till the mine even if i rly like glace, or try to hold on for a bit.

maybe a few days into banner being up ill be more ready to decide if i wanna commit early or not.

[summer goblet]

as the saying goes, I would love to Zen hard for 500k gems and be like around top 5 in terms of gem count while admassing my favs and meta units

but there is a point where i've underestimated that ae a good amount of players who have more that 380k f2p gems and feeling like my hardest work isn't the best anymore

that and i'm cutting down daily pulls for now to save more money so i won't be able to cheat the system

[summer goblet]

Chest is basically a one of kind, the G.O.A.T of gem saving unsurpassable

[vernal glade]

And besides, you’re close to your second pity rhythm. But ya, good luck on your goal.

[summer goblet]

against my better judgement ||I will go ahead and pull for SS Lana to complete my collection||

but i promise myself that i will zen for 2 months straight between July and August to regain my gem collection

as long as i can save above the 300k line

it will be fine

[vestal leaf]

Tbh I personally think there's no reason to save past 300k unless there's literally nothing at all that interests you character wise, kit wise or Pokémon wise for months (which is rare considering how many new ones and reruns we get every month)

[tardy fiber]

I missed the old kanto VA units rerun, they rerun both redlax and cblue, all VA reruns after that are all random like only lucas rerun on the first sinnoh rerun, and second rerun only has ssrcynthia...VA units rerun are all random ...first hoenn VA rerun has ssbrendan but upcoming one has only ssmay...||so getting the missing VA units aint a bad decision if you like the unit and you have the gems as their reruns are totally random|| oh also a random ssN rerun this month as well without any Unova VA

[vestal leaf]

Once you reach 8-10 pities you're basically years away from finishing your gem hoard even by pitying once a month

[summer goblet]

well, you know me, wanting to aspire to greater height in zen power

[summer goblet]

yeah i like the unit enough to complete for a collection

[vestal leaf]

Understandable, I just think saving too hard by skipping stuff you like for reruns even when you have 250+k is kinda of a waste

Just my opinion

[summer goblet]

Plus ||still waiting for Emma and SS Dawn to return||

yeah

[tardy fiber]

If bad luck, you might need 4 alola VA rerun to get sslana if they keep releasing 1 tapu per rerun

[summer goblet]

true

[tardy fiber]

In some sense, chasing VA units on rerun is harder than seasonals rerun at least its guaranteed to rerun in the seasonal event

[summer goblet]

yeah, I've learn that the hard way

[lean mango]

Gem count, gathering more and more

[summer goblet]

nice

just enough for Eusine

dreams do come true

[lean mango]

If you beg hard enough

Never thought this day would actually come true

[summer goblet]

ok, i will beg for Brock alt now

and a better version of Mega Sceptile

in terms of sync pair not added

give me freaking Palmer man

he is in the trailer yet has not been released

[lean mango]

Weird how after like almost 4 years he has still not shown up

[tardy fiber]

Enough for ||marnie toxicroak too ||

[lean mango]

|| sorry but she's being put on hold for the 56th time, girl drops at the wrong time every time 😭||

[violet nebula]

Same

[summer goblet]

well I'm just under the gem count for the month so I'm right on budget

[violet nebula]

Palmer, ryuki and many others in npc jail

[summer goblet]

a huge surpluss for sure

[topaz compass]

Another day, another k

[lost bobcat]

When 1/5 grid is better than 3/5

Invigorating hail5 at base

[timber wren]

may gem and june candy counts have been updated in #1010223517565976737

10k difference in gems between april and may

[violet nebula]

So we get poorer

That is an extra 3 pulls less😭

[timber wren]

we got 10k more in may than april

[violet nebula]

Ahh I am out of my mind... look math left me a long time ago😆

[topaz compass]

What do you mean IH5 at base

[mossy hawk]

It's a 1/5 grid node

[topaz compass]

Yeah both MFs are tempting to leave at 1/5 if not for the fact I 3/5 every MF

[violet nebula]

Even at 1/5 they are pretty good

And I only EX 3/5... sooo low on tech coins...😬

Already need like 15 to get the roster up to scracth😅

Then there is silver coming😞

Ice eating well this month

[severe bridge]

When can I expect a Cerena rerun , so i can be ready with a pity

[vestal leaf]

Most MFs are overly solid at 1/5

Gives me chance to invest on 1/5 fairs i got when candy and coin income was lower

[rare swan]

she's still a relatively new masterfair, i'd give it another year (at least until december)

[sturdy flower]

Zerena should be soonish

but Cerena... yeah, a bit longer

[vestal leaf]

Zerena may rerun for Anni at this point

Cerena...at best early 2024

[deft glen]

I wish Zerena would rerun with her event

Couldn't get the 4* medal at the time

[naive imp]

Was the stage too hard? Even for today's standarts?

[deft glen]

No, I started at that time

Just didn't know what I was doing

[naive imp]

Oh i felt that

I missed a bunch of events because when i first started i was like

[hard wave]

I started in early february and didnt start doing events until morty’s secret ghost training also made alot of spending mistakes

[naive imp]

Let me finish the story mode than i'll see what the other stuff has in store

Took me like 3 months to finish story mode lmao

[vernal glade]

I started when it released. Which was August.

[hard wave]

I would just have 999 stamina and do 5 skips in the level up manual training area for the dailies

[naive imp]

I had so much stamina packed up

I could literaly play anytime

If only i could feel that again

[cunning swan]

Always be ready with a pity just in case That One Unit decides to randomly rerun

I've been staying above two pities for SS Morty and Summer N rerun. I can expect when N will rerun but not Morty, and now my prayers are heard

[vernal glade]

I’m just glad I made myself a fave list last year, helping me save.

[hard wave]

7 days left || need some luck cuz I have 41k and going for eusine too ||

[hard wave]

I made mine early this year but better late than never ig

[cunning swan]

Counting down the days to SS Silver... My baby... Well deserved

I asked dena for silver and sneasel in their yearly surveys two years in a row was so scared he'd be made a variety alt

[feral vale]

We needed it so bad, I’m so happy it’s actually happening.

[cunning swan]

Think I almost cried when he got datamined

[topaz compass]

Why do they buff/expand units like Blaziken and shiny Ho-Oh that don't need it? Where are the older PF reruns with buffs

They buffed the oldest PFs but then jumped to newer stuff instead of the middle

[cunning swan]

Dena's thought process is weird sometimes

[dreamy onyx]

and inconsistent

[upbeat lotus]

Kommo-o found dead in the most bottom pit

[dreamy onyx]

should give at least 3/5 expand for 1 gen pool, 3/5 expand for 1 pokefair and 5/5 expand for 1 or more pokefair per month

[bleak falcon]

C. Elesa still MIA outside of a single paid select

[cunning swan]

Rip

[cunning swan]

Ss leon lost his way

[violet nebula]

Thank god

[dreamy onyx]

they powercreep some units so fast, maybe they don't even need rerun

[feral vale]

SS Leon didn’t deserve the light of day tbh

Pretty sure he was only made for Latias

[cunning swan]

That outfit slays though

[timber wren]

it does

[feral vale]

[drifting dagger]

So, wanted to ask somethibg about the prices.

After the prices change last year, europeans who got affected by that, had an increase EVEN on the mf deals, right?

AND story bundles too?

Because I swear... I remember the mf deals being different and slightly higher, AND the story bundles also got down to how they were before

[topaz compass]

Alot of currencies in current adjustment went back down or stayed the same

[drifting dagger]

Ah ok.

For going down, was it just for stuff such as the regular deals and story bundles?

[topaz compass]

I think they probably just did some math and tried to make certain bundles a value or not compared to other options, both for that currency and also relative to other currencies

For instance the candy bundle price increase was probably tied to the 3k gem bundle bonus, as the cost per candy coin when compared to the gem only options went up a smaller % than the gems themselves

(In USD gems went up 33% but coin bundle only 26.3%)

Keep in mind I only look at the 2 streak bonuses because every other option is a worse deal, so I ignore them

[hard wave]

They even forgot to buff someone last month

SS Blue and Red were right there

[cunning swan]

...huh. they didn't buff anyone last month? I could swear they did

[hard wave]

Nope

Only ethan buff and mina ex

[cunning swan]

[hard wave]

Last month’s PFs were tapus raihan and alder/ss red/ss blue banner, all have 5/5 grids except red and blue

[sand crown]

Ethan's "buff" in quotation marks

[hard wave]

I was hoping for blue’s expansion so having him 5/5 would be useful but ig I have to wait a little longer

[cunning swan]

[topaz compass]

My only 5/5 limited are redlax and dialga when going for anni raihan

So I would prefer they are the next 5/5 expansions lol

[grim plover]

im here waiting for my SS Red expansion

(hopefully ss red & ss blue will get them in the 4th anni)

[hard wave]

Same, bcz I managed to not get them on either triple banner they were in

[topaz compass]

That scenario is exactly how I'm trying hard to skip most banners. If most end up on triple banners eventually it becomes insane value to wait on 75% of units and then get them in splits

[slow hare]

Hisui has given me hopium for Paldea coming to PoMa

[crisp oracle]

Almost back to two pities

[junior trout]

if it was 1 year for galar and 1.5 years for hisui, then that must mean 2 years for paldea

[glass abyss]

So I have decided ||only going to pull on SSMay this month||

[timber wren]

almost certainly but i’m not holding my breath to see it before 4.5 anni

[craggy wedge]

how i can get free gems??

how can i get so many gems

[rustic heron]

do events mostly

[feral vale]

The key is to save. You skip who you do not like.

And ofc get all the gems you can by doing events and daily missions.

[feral vale]

Also the gems in this game are free anyway, they are just not something you can grind. They are a fixed amount.

[winged fossil]

Wrong channel mb

Since I am here tho gem count report

[feral vale]

[violet nebula]

[topaz compass]

I've been good saving lately but I am also getting more bored of the game, which makes me want to pull. Quite the loop of willpower testing

[sturdy flower]

for me how bored I am has no bearing on my rolling

and I'm looking forward to the Special CSMM events + the other one they announced

[hard wave]

Masters doesnt have much to do most of the time, so ig just do smth else?

[vestal leaf]

^

I love how ungrindy the game is tbh

Don't have to spend time on it except if I actually want to

Like gauntlet or unique clears in csmm

I would've dropped the game if it stayed a farm fest (like at launch) for more than a year

[violet nebula]

Ahh just 9 1/2 hrs until Irida

[winged fossil]

The curse has been broken. I forgot she existed due to how long it took

finally got mpr on may

[violet nebula]

[summer goblet]

Yeah, I want my SS Red buff now I have him at 5/5

[topaz compass]

It's probably that I finished my LG streak other than the 2 new MF to get 2 more clears. So waiting for the next content feels worse when I won't be pulling rest of month

[summer goblet]

Yeah that is true

I generally pace myself in terms of content

I think I’m shedding the burnout now

[violet nebula]

Why on earth SS Morty and SS May getting power up

Literally use both and they still are stupidly good😅

[sturdy flower]

to make people roll on them $$$

[violet nebula]

Some of the units that been EX'd lately could of used it🤔

[hard wave]

Wdym?

[vernal glade]

?

[violet nebula]

Like the older units who been getting EX, could do with a 5/5 expansion

[hard wave]

All pokefairs have EX tho?

[violet nebula]

Like Roxanne etc

Sure she got the EX but a 5/5 power up would of been good to

[hard wave]

5/5 grids are only for pokefairs currently

[topaz compass]

Yet they skip alot of older PFs to do already good new units

They choose most popular sellers the first time around to upgrade because people will pull again I guess

[hard wave]

Atleast the rest will come eventually

[topaz compass]

AZ: 3000 years later...

[feral vale]

Mine’s 4/5, but am fine with candying like I did SS Leaf

[hard wave]

Mine’s 3/5 free 2/5 tiles ig

[rotund monolith]

if you guys see the gem count in my name go down its not that i rolled its cos i misremembered the number.

i did not roll on adaman

[topaz compass]

Trying to sneak some pulls? 🤔 @rotund monolith

[rotund monolith]

no

i'm not sneaking pulls

if i was sneaking pulls i wouldnt try to hide it

im not joking

[lapis pine]

Clearly he’s trying to cover it up

[tardy fiber]

Dont put gem count in name like me, people wont know how much remain and how much is left before

[tardy fiber]

Same like annimay and anniraihan 5/5 grids before this

[hard wave]

Luckily every PF rerun I want doesnt have a 5/5 grid yet so they could be rerunning them except ss hilbert, tho he could still rerun like ss n and victor

[tardy fiber]

Luckily i dont chase 5/5 grids

3/5 are enough for them to do what DeNa advertised what they supposed to do

Iirc for annisteven rerun, DeNa advertised that he is a master fair sync pair that can remove weather

[hard wave]

Oh idc for them either, alot of pairs I dont even candy but when they add it its a good chance to get them since they rerun them

So I can just wait for the grid expansion which will come w a rerun…. I just hope I dont miss them

And also a bit worried that masterfairs will be random, so I never know what month will have the MFs I want

[tardy fiber]

But i admit 2/5 grids are kinda good, especially for old pairs like N, Lysandre, Gloria

N gets unbending and followtrough, lysandre got sharp entry and grand entry, gloria got cs2 and sharp entry

[tardy fiber]

Anniv MF will be soon as well

So after adaman and irida, the next batch is probably the anniv

So probably Galar VA only has PF

[oak crest]

galar alrd has 4 MFs tho

them not getting any during VA is understandable

[tardy fiber]

Oh right galar birbs

[oak crest]

Alola only have 2 and they get nth

☠️

[hard wave]

Unova had 1 and they got none

[hard wave]

2nd or 3rd? Bcz I was hoping to go for cynthia

[tardy fiber]

Well we still haven't yet have anniversary name pairs, so it might be on this anniv so it might follow anniN/annisteven/anniLillie batch and annimay/anniraihan/anniskyla batch so it might be mixed region MF for anniv

[oak crest]

most probably will be

[tardy fiber]

Kanto pride, alola pride

[oak crest]

hopefully its smth good for kanto

since i skipped rats and will skip rats again even if they reran

[tardy fiber]

Mega mewtwo x or shiny mew

[tardy fiber]

Same

[hard wave]

Oh u mean the new ones

We are still missing kanto and alola pride as well as unova pride and spirit

[tardy fiber]

I skipped the frogs, and the recent one, i will skip the cats

Rats, frogs, cats

Oh right also leon

[hard wave]

I thought the eevees were dogs outside of espeon tbh

[hard wave]

And dog

[tardy fiber]

Really? I thought eevees are cats

[feral vale]

I thought of Eevee as dog lmao

[oak crest]

getting a new stage to suffer this coming reset

[tardy fiber]

Im much more excited with upcoming ebe

[oak crest]

im afraid tbh lmao

[tardy fiber]

As my sinnoh faves are mostly special damage dealer

[hard wave]

Espeon has whiskers and smaller paws than the rest so

[oak crest]

need to remove both zone and weather is annoying

[hard wave]

U need weather tho

[tardy fiber]

Well i just slap ssmorty

[hard wave]

Ill prob use SSRC and BP Candice

[hard wave]

True

[oak crest]

i might try ssKris and OGCyrus with SSACynthia

[hard wave]

Problem is my best supports would be aaron and dawn

[tardy fiber]

Gonna try ssdawn, ssmorty and ssrcynthia

[oak crest]

altho kris probably will go down by the time first sync from enemy

[tardy fiber]

Sskris is great just its hard to rely on her buffing def for short duration fight using brine stoic, but other stuffs are great

Hope for 3* water gear in the future

Extra def and hp

[hard wave]

Surprised they havent done water gear yet

[tardy fiber]

Yep

[vernal glade]

I agree.

[tardy fiber]

Also surprised that we got 2 gear events back to back

Usually there's a month gap

Fairy gear last month and ice gear this month

[hard wave]

I hope they continue a monthly gear event

2 months per gear is too long

At this rate we should be done by november I think if the other 5 r every month

[vernal glade]

So now we have Steel Water Bug Normal and Flying gears that needs 3* now.

[slow hare]

Honestly I thought no new region = EOS

I mean technically they didn't introduce a new region tag but still... hopium

[slow hare]

Totally agree it's one of the reasons I love it so much. Super chill

[cunning swan]

if villain arc ends they'll still announce PML part 2

[tardy fiber]

Cannot wait for them

[severe bridge]

I just completed the Time trial challenge 3 minutes before reset

Ez +1.6k

Now I'm at 16k for savings

[winged fossil]

nice, cutting it close tho lol

[severe bridge]

I forgot

I still have to get the gems from the sinnoh VA

That's like 2k ish

[weary spire]

Did time trial have any bonus gems from clearing the stages, or other rewards, outside of mission gems?

[rotund monolith]

||didnt pity irida|| now i go back to saving

[winged fossil]

My temptation would be too high to do something irrational if I were to open the game rn so I’m just sleeping till I have what I need to know for a final decision don’t care if I end up wasting stamina just don’t wanna regret gem usage

||her passive has to be like 50% for me to preemptive it||

[vernal glade]

You’re doing well saving. Once this month ends you’ll be ready for July.

[winged fossil]

Yeah I’ll be ready one way or another

Even if I decide on grabbing someone I’ll have pity for zoroark. I might end up grabbing ssn if I decide against irida and July ends up dead enough outside of summer rerun

I’m happy to have made it from anni to here either way no matter what way I decide on

[vernal glade]

I’m glad I started to save during Unova VA. It’s all thanks to this channel.

[lean mango]

Piling more gems and more

[vernal glade]

Never gets boring for me.

[lean mango]

Gets boring when you have to wait 13 more resets

[winged fossil]

I’m still rather glad alola va wasn’t as dangerous as I feared for my gem count, lussa being generous to me this time definitely had helped

[dark cliff]

Hoping for RNG luck on my cookies

I did not get the weathered warrior I wanted
