Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[dark cliff]

Time to try hard legend battles

[vernal glade]

July will be a good month of saving for me. ||Only going for 1 copy of Summer Hilda and nobody else||

[dark cliff]

^ But isn’t it even harder for the old unit? Like it’s .5%

[winged fossil]

If summer n and summer Gloria both come before pity idk what I’ll do exactly. Or if summer n comes early I’ll just stop

[winged fossil]

If it’s 2% split it’s going to be like 0.33

[torpid prawn]

Multiple results found

Lyra (Summer 2020) & Jigglypuff
Hilda (Summer 2022) & Grapploct
N (Summer 2022) & Zoroark
Steven (Summer 2020) & Sandslash
Gloria (Summer 2021) & Inteleon
Marnie (Summer 2021) & Grimmsnarl

[dark cliff]

Oof best of luck my friend

[winged fossil]

There’s six pairs to split 2% into

[vernal glade]

||Also I’ll be fine on pulling on Hilda, I’ll have 200k by the end of June.||

[winged fossil]

I’ll be beyond second pity going into July and prob close to third if I were to not spend going out of it but I’m basically guaranteed spending some bc of zoroark

N zoroark was a pair that had tempted me to come off of hiatus before but I didn’t bother bc I knew I wouldn’t get pity in time anyways

I won’t let him slip this time tho

[vernal glade]

But like last year, expect July to not be a huge gem count month.

But 4.0 however, massive save month for me.

Because I’m curious what October will offer.

[winged fossil]

I forget is 4anni the month after July or the one after

[vernal glade]

August 28th I think.

[winged fossil]

I always lose track which month is which in fall timeframe bc of my main interests timewise usually being summer (bday) and winter (Christmas)

Specifically June 5th is my bday, and I usually end up waiting to steam summer sale to spend much bc of it being the closest sale to my bday.

[broken mulch]

Paldea 4th Annie book it

[vernal glade]

But my goal is to reach 300k or 400k by the end of this year. My true goal will be 500k in early 2024.

[tardy fiber]

87k gems slowly growing || for Eusine, also gonna farm certs for him so that i can 150 him on the same day||

[winged fossil]

I think it’d be hard for me to see triple digit savings unless I get extremely lucky on favs bc of my three top ones being milked

Still suspicious of dena from how long since last Lillie

[untold tide]

Lmao

I still have one and a half pity left

||Got irida too close to pity so might as well||

So with enough luck, I'll be back to two pities next month

I'm skipping SS N, that drip is Not It

[vernal glade]

But once I do reach 500k, perhaps my last and final goal could be to reach 1 million and after that, I probably don’t know what to do next.

[tardy fiber]

Oh right, summer next month... hopefully it is kind to me, DeNa doesn't like to put my faves as festive seasonals but calyrex and naganadel did happen so i need to prepare myself

[vernal glade]

Anyway enough chatting about gems here for me, it’s time I rest.

[winged fossil]

Same. Have a gn y’all I’ll see you guys when the info I require has arrived most likely

[maiden kayak]

ask chest

[topaz compass]

@vernal glade you can't catch chest, I think you should start pulling some units after 500k

Gotta enjoy the game and not just saving

[mossy hawk]

I'm so happy ||got Irida in 9k, means I can safely scout for SS May without the fear of Jirachi droping soon||

[tardy fiber]

Summer is coming and last week CS has steel weak, might be Jirachi or kartana

[maiden kayak]

did u like copy and paste this multiple times

i feel like u used this exact response before

[topaz compass]

No I did say something similar to you the other day though

[maiden kayak]

wait mirage already had 500k?

ngl tho ||im seriously doubt my gems getting close to 0 , im getting units in less than a pity||

[cinder seal]

I have 6 gems I think 😅

MV 60

[tardy fiber]

Thanks to ||adaman pullers that notices the bug|| extra 300 gems for me

[lofty relic]

@cinder seal Pulling talk is against the rules of this thread, this is a saving resource, please be mindful

[tardy fiber]

DeNa is such a nice company, niantic doesn't ever give me free coins on bugs

[mental skiff]

It is cool they give us enough for 1 single tho

[tardy fiber]

Yep thats why i don't fret myself for not clearing Lucas round 2 ebe, only lose 1 single

Thank you DeNa for making Dawn's ebe easy

[mental skiff]

Lucas 2nd round is pretty easy tho :V i dunno but i have ex dawn

[tardy fiber]

Oops dena

[mental skiff]

Surely

[tardy fiber]

I dont want to tarnish my roster by exing non fave also don't want to lose wise entry 2 lucky skill

[mental skiff]

Yet you used froslass

[tardy fiber]

Well doesn't need to EX her

I can clear using ssdawn, ssrcynthia and bpcandice

[mental skiff]

Doesnt need to ex Dawn i assume

my dawn has more than 50% hp when clear EB

[tardy fiber]

Probably but i dont want to lose her lucky akill

I spend months for wise entry 2

[hard wave]

Dawn doesnt need to be EXd I think, maybe u can even keep the lucky skill

[mental skiff]

i have Adrenalin tho

[hard wave]

Tho I also changed it from dc2 to ww3 and EXd her (which I was planning to do anyway)

[tardy fiber]

Wow even spending ww3 on one event

[maiden kayak]

ww3 on who

[tardy fiber]

I gonna keep my ww3 cookie for future faves

Dawn

[hard wave]

I just used a guaranteed cookie, never going to use those anyway tbh

[tardy fiber]

Torterra

[mental skiff]

Why not use ||SSR Cynthia||, Dawn and ||SS Morty|| (2 Legendary let go)

I used that

[hard wave]

Dawn

[maiden kayak]

why dawn needs WW3

[hard wave]

More damage, not sure if its necessary tho

[maiden kayak]

even cs2 isnt gonna make much dmg difference and clears similarly

dawn has crit eye

[tardy fiber]

Not sure but i still cannot clear it with dawn, ssmorty, ssrcynthia so maybe skill issue so i wont stress myself for just losing 1 round of EBE

Only lose 300 gems

Than pulling Adaman

[mental skiff]

300 gems

Worth dying for

[tardy fiber]

Well i still have 88k though

[mental skiff]

But he isn't your favs

[tardy fiber]

Yep thats why i just gonna leave round 2

[mental skiff]

Hmmm

[tardy fiber]

Getting 900/1200 gems are nice

[upbeat lotus]

Getting free gems is always nice

[mental skiff]

never dying love

[tough oriole]

I cleared it with Not EX Dawn (||CS2), SSAcerola, and SS Dawn||, if it helps you

[deft glen]

Have you tried Cresselia instead of Giratina?

[crisp wraith]

How many gems until July 11?

[hard wave]

20,380 and we dont know gems from june 30+

[lofty relic]

daily breakdown is pinned

oh july not june

bear in mind there's also an uncomfirmed rally at 3k

[crisp wraith]

Appreciate it

[hard wave]

I thought we reached it

[crisp wraith]

I got shafted and had to pity so I need lots of gems again

[lofty relic]

did we? I didn't get updated from Tlim yet so i didn't check

but either way it's likely gonna get distributed after the 30th

[hard wave]

#twitter-feed message

Japanese alone was 19k+

[lofty relic]

huh that's odd

i was told twitter had bot issues and it was getting delayed

but good to know thanks

[tardy fiber]

I dont want to remove my wise entry 2 on dawn, i spend months for it...pretty long considering gauntlet only happen once in 2 months, maybe half a year or more trying to get wise entry 2

[tardy fiber]

We cleared it

[deft glen]

why wise entry 2?

[tardy fiber]

Because dawn cannot buff her spdef so i give her that so that she is tanky on all sources of damage

Not just physical

I also put wise entry 2 on Jasmine

Sentry entry 2 on phoebe and scjasmine

Its hard because only bronze cookies or silver deluxe cookies give those entry skills

[upbeat lotus]

its given out at 30th June tho

[lost bobcat]

Phoebe def prefer Healthy Healing

[upbeat lotus]

Phoebe can buff defense by herself as well

[lost bobcat]

Jasmine fair, double +2 spdef can fix some stages if you really like to use her

[deft glen]

my Dawn just has FT2

[tardy fiber]

Yep, Dreamy doesn't know that we cleared it

So i send the pic

[lost bobcat]

For solos

[tardy fiber]

But will make her tanky faster, kinda hard to max defense when she's the main tanker as there's only 70% chance to buff def only if she crits

[lost bobcat]

Also when she get hits, another 50%

[crisp oracle]

Two pities

[tardy fiber]

Nice, you have any pairs that you want to get this month?

[crisp oracle]

||maybe irida but im waiting for the mine||

[tardy fiber]

I have 88k ||but will lose some to Eusine||

[lost bobcat]

Nice, was as the same before the new mfairs dropped
Now 20k

[crisp oracle]

||as my name says, johtrio want my gems||

[tardy fiber]

Oh thats tough

[deft glen]

I'm on my recovery arc

[tardy fiber]

Seems like DeNa still not keen to do MF mix banner

So Johtrio might be separate banner again

[crisp oracle]

i don't want any banners with more than one MF

[deft glen]

I think they'll just spread them across 3 months

[lost bobcat]

I have a secret amount stored in VAs for emergencies

[tardy fiber]

Cannot wait for Galar VA

Hop EX will be sweet

[deft glen]

I wonder what his boost's gonna be

[tardy fiber]

As my gloria is only 3/5, i think sync with Hop is better than syncing with her

Support EX

[crisp oracle]

please i need them to spread them out lmao

[tardy fiber]

Hope he got team pep rally or anything else speed buff related

First aid 4 also kinda nice

[deft glen]

I'd like Team Safe Start

but that's prob not happening

speed buffs would be really nice

[lost bobcat]

Haymaker more easy solos

[deft glen]

or that Sonia passive for gauge

[lost bobcat]

Ye, the potion catalyst

[tardy fiber]

I forgot, is team safe start the teamwide no damage shield?

[deft glen]

yeah, that one

[deft glen]

team endurance on entry

[tardy fiber]

Oh thats nice

Would synergize well with solgaleo as it has power reserves 5

[lost bobcat]

He already has, but still good

[bleak falcon]

Honestly? Give Hop Vigilance + Adrenaline as 2 of his Power Boost tiles and he’d be golden

Opens up his Lucky Skill a ton

[tardy fiber]

I learn to expect just mid grids, seeing how Sycamore grid went

[lost bobcat]

Syca was nice

[bleak falcon]

Sycamore really only needed EX, TSE1 and Beef Up were bonuses

[maiden kayak]

im actually more interested in uniqlo collab

i wonder they have it here

[crisp oracle]

is there anything great on Ghetsis's powerboost

[lost bobcat]

for the shirts

[bleak falcon]

Ghetsis is mainly QoL

[tardy fiber]

I like ghetsis grid, really fixed his gauge

Good as he want to spam glaciate for speed debuffs

[bleak falcon]

Glaciate MGR9, Sync Freebie, TM Ramp Up, and Sharp Entry, iirc

All nice, but it mostly just opens up his team options

[crisp oracle]

Glaciate MGR9 is like the best thing

he's slow af

[tardy fiber]

Hope everything will chill for me after Galar VA ends, hope it will be a break for legendaries, mythicals, UBs after VA ended

Well there's still hoopa unbound from emo paulo VA i guess

[deft glen]

if they decide to do something like Summer Korrina I'm screwed

[tardy fiber]

Hope beach outfit made a return

Well japan traditional outfit is usually for new year but it happens on summer last year as well

Summer lusamine cmon DeNa

[hard wave]

I hope it stays like that

|| I want ethan and ssa cynthia, dont mind getting lyra or red, but alr have 3/5 ash and ss kris so ||

I also hope no more lodge masterfairs but I doubt it

[deft glen]

I wonder when they'll rerun Anni N again

I hope it takes some time

[deft glen]

I think Johtrio is soon

[nocturne spade]

Prob 1 more time this year. On a poma day

[hard wave]

Maybe but it doesnt seem like there’s going to be a pattern, just whatever the next month is thats the masterfair that’ll rerun

Zerena was supposed to be next but nope archie rerun #2

[deft glen]

they like to throw some curveballs

[nocturne spade]

Yea zerena would have been bad timing rn

[hard wave]

True || I have ss morty and eusine to go after anyway idk if ill have the gems after, but still hoping to get them early ||

[tardy fiber]

Not sure why they rerun archie, probably the hoenn va archie rerun doesn't count as it is different than the new PoMa day MF rerun...but if it is different, shouldn't they rerun leon first before archie

Leon is older

[upbeat lotus]

they rerun Archie for the new gamemode

its first run weakness is Water

[hard wave]

No its the poma day mf rerun as its on poma day

But also cuz next month is going to promote water pairs and cuz of hoenn rerun

[tardy fiber]

Oh so probably next month wont be maxie, as archie only for new game mode

Maybe zerena on july

[hard wave]

Zerena next month if I have the gems

[mental skiff]

Next month is anni N rerun

N for everymonth from now on

[tardy fiber]

Anniskyla rerun when

[hard wave]

soon

when I have gems ofc

[mental skiff]

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon

More like it

[hard wave]

[topaz compass]

Hopefully no more MF except reruns until 4th anni

[mental skiff]

Dena: "Hmm so they dont have free gems left..." bring 5 MF

[topaz compass]

They might increase to 4 new MF for 4th anni.....so I need to keep at least 100k on hand going into that datamine

[hard wave]

[vestal leaf]

Hopefully the Anni MF are metashit like last year so it's a free skip

[sturdy flower]

there's a chance of 1-2 MF still

Selene where are you

[feral vale]

That was me with 3.5 Anni. Didn’t care for any of them, so I skipped

[winged fossil]

the passive is only 20%, i think im going to have an easier time just waiting for datamine now. still think getting her or ssn is likely but, i can decide next month.

[half laurel]

Which of the two new legends character is better? Think about pulling ngl

I got 50,000 ish

[winged fossil]

this channels for saving, not talking about pulling. ask in #poma-questions instead

[half laurel]

Am here for saving reasons

Been told that before, I probably should but.. now that am already here may as well stay

Ngl I want them, but if I pull I may not have enough for sada

And that would make me Abit sad a

[rancid vale]

paldea is probably not coming for a very long time

[half laurel]

Just afraid of my gem balance for when that time comes

What if I don't have enough to pull one

[feral vale]

The best option is to have a pity ready. Wait for datamine each time so you know what’s next.

[grim plover]

the last time i had to wait for a mid month pair was when they released Lucas, now i have to wait for silver

it's hard but it has its advantages, the wait for the next datamine wont be too long after that

[feral vale]

I’ve had to do it quite often, funny enough

But it is nice that datamine isn’t too far away from that tho

[violet nebula]

This is the way

[half laurel]

Think I got one, but not sure when gen 9 will come around

Waiting for the professors to get a banner

[feral vale]

None of us do. That’s why we have to keep a pity ready and wait.

[grim plover]

yeah

maybe on a special event of gamefreak

like hisui and Home

[violet nebula]

Dude you will be literally waiting for at least a year +

For Paleda

[tardy fiber]

I'm saving my ww3 cookies for paradoxes ...as the past paradoxes are boosted on sunny weather in the games

Not sure if any other upcoming faves other than paradoxes have potential for weather gimmick...only moltres and articuno i guess, raikou probably terrain, well not counting shiny counterparts as shiny is kinda uncertain...only 4 of my faves have shiny version for now

[severe bridge]

||got SSR Cynthia and Irida in 6k|| now we save .

[lapis pine]

Not really for here

[violet nebula]

It is not

Even blacked out, it is becoming a bad habit in here

Perhaps issue a temporary ban?

[winged fossil]

yeah I’d like it if posts like that weren’t here about shiny new units at this point. It makes it harder for those like me struggling a bit on keeping resolve till datamine for saving.

at the very least don’t mention which unit it was if something has to be said

Personally when I feel a need to here so far I try to keep it vague just saying if it was a shaft or not, if I can help myself to that degree. Aka if I beat pity or not. Going to gem counts just makes it harder i imagine than that. (Ofc not perfect on keeping to these sorts of things but, generally a good idea to try to limit details on the subject in a place intended for the opposite of that)

[oak crest]

Gacha pulls should be kept at the flex channel or general channels instead of here tbh, it's good if u get lucky but just keep the results out of here to prevent those struggling to save to yolo a multi...

[winged fossil]

Anyways I’ll prob need to set a new “goal” unit to save for once I get zoroark… maybe cserena is a good one to set as the next goal… but she’s got a long way till rerun so I’d want to set my goalpost closer most likely…

Ig I can just consider 4.0 anni the next one till we see what that brings

[rotund monolith]

a temp ban? you wanna be that extreme?

just tell people not to do it

don't be punitive, it's just a discord thread about a game not some kind of sacred religious rule

anyway im gonna update my savings in my title

nine more tickets and ill have at least eight pulls from the gen pool when anni arrives for colress

[winged fossil]

Honestly I’m just saving regional tickets rather than wild tickets since there’s still some gens I need dupes of atm.

1/5Dawn, 2/5Bertha, 2/5may…

It’s funny how many I have 3/5+ yet having only just gotten a second may lmao

[rotund monolith]

damn shes been avoiding you

i have colress at 3/5 but he didnt come ||last time i pulled in the gacha||

which makes me MAD!!! usually i am very lucky

[oak crest]

Gen pool tickets, Im only not saving on kanto and alola

[lean mango]

I only have saved tickets for gen, Sinnoh and Unova

[oak crest]

Since SSerika still 2/5 while MR at 1/5

[lean mango]

Alola was thrown out the window for Plumeria but Oops! No Plumeria!

[rotund monolith]

rip

[lean mango]

But still saving for Sinnoh and Unova so I can get that Looker and Colress at 5/5

Also for Gen since who knows I might get unlucky on the regionals

[oak crest]

Just started saving on sinnoh since my Aaron went 3/5 recently via tickets (others were 5/5 for some time alrd)

[lean mango]

The other regionals don't really have a reason to save for, except maybe Courtney but I just want Ground wish so

[rotund monolith]

ayyyy we both want 5/5 colress

good taste

[lean mango]

Has been my 4th favorite for a long time

~~until Geeta crashed in unexpectedly ~~

[rotund monolith]

geeta’s amazing, i hope she continues to be cool in the dlc

i stan

[lean mango]

Geeta didn't even become an apparent until the game released and tbh don't even know why

She got into the top 4 easily

[rotund monolith]

KLARA AND AVERY MY BELOVEDS

[lean mango]

I have a Klara pfp currently lul

[rotund monolith]

I did not see her cos my vision sucks but i see her now

[upbeat lotus]

Why do you rank Miriam the last?

[lean mango]

I don't really mean it like that , last tier is only if they have a Poison unit since I want that Toxapex

Also had to edit the SV images in myself

[upbeat lotus]

She is the only notable Toxapex user iirc, not counting Plumeria and Guzma

[lean mango]

Does Guzma have one?

[upbeat lotus]

Lana has Toxapex too right?

Yes he uses one in Battle Tree

[lean mango]

tbh probably

I should probably put Melli in there,,

[rotund monolith]

MELLI i hope he has skuntank

i love skuntank

[lean mango]

he has Zubat

I would definitely whale for another Crobat line

If only they gave us the admins like 50% of them use Poison type Pokemon

[upbeat lotus]

I dont see Jupiter there

Melli uses exact pokemon of Jupiter

[lean mango]

Yea I just forgot about her

I'd have to also add Ariana and Petrel aswell

Whats his face does not see the light of day

[topaz compass]

Raikou more likely rebuff, hopefully support

Whichever comes first raikou or zapdos may have rebuff. Hopefully zapdos is suoport for pikachus

[tardy fiber]

Support zapdos might be true, especially if its with Chatelaine Dana

[topaz compass]

Has to be a Kanto trainer for mf passive

[tardy fiber]

Well electric teamwork works as well

[topaz compass]

Nah lt surge or bust

[oak crest]

I legitimately saw Chatelaine Dena for 1s

[bleak falcon]

That is overly min-maxing, tbh

[topaz compass]

If it doesn't need to be Kanto then we are fine with Lucario or Ampharos tbh

[tough oriole]

If they can beat every stage by themselves, the third can easily be lorelei or marlon

[ashen thunder]

I just use SSmisty as third to activate theme skills
Also frees up my better supports

[tardy fiber]

True, just like my dragon team of ssbrendan, lucas, zerena...all of them are from different regions yet still slays

[tough oriole]

Chat is quiet, guess that means everyone is zen

[vernal glade]

Because I’m waiting for July.

June is a perfect month to keep me away from here and save on gems.

[tardy fiber]

Waiting ||for Eusine ||

Also done with the EBEs without pulling the units so feels good

[fallen path]

[vernal glade]

||For me, Summer Hilda, SS Hilda, and SS Hilbert ||

[lean mango]

[untold tide]

Please persuade me to wait for July to pull ss silver and ss N

Mention all his gameplay cons

He's a fave but I fear July will have faves that I like even more (yes my faves have subtiers what a surprise)

As for SS N, convince me why else other than his subpar drip

[tardy fiber]

SsN only hit once in 3 turns if you use freeze shock, freeze shock, buddy noble roar rotation

Not sure about ss silver, he still hasn't released yet so not clear with his gameplay

[untold tide]

True ig

[tough oriole]

Eww accuracy issues

Also what is silver’s buffing kit, this isn’t 2021

[ashen thunder]

Just eleSSa

[tardy fiber]

SsSilver kit revolves around him syncing, why need sync if you use support its a skip

[broken mulch]

June be skip month haha

What a boring birthday

[vernal glade]

I knew it was gonna be a skip month when we got the datamine.

Thanks to that, I’m ready for July to decide how many gems I’ll get there.

[violet nebula]

Just going to wait for next datamine and keep saving

[untold tide]

Wait how terrible is it

I didn't hear anything about this

[ashen thunder]

He need to press his TMs few times to max offenses

But like

He's a physical dps

And he has like 200 supports out there to max em

[feral vale]

MY GUY, GET A GRIP

You could just plop Sonia and he’d be fine

[ashen thunder]

Me waiting for a gen pool special support like Hilbert or Sonia

[cunning swan]

keep waiting

[broken mulch]

Gen pool is dead

[untold tide]

Not sure if I even want to wait for kalos

To finally drop shauna

Into the pool

Pool literally 50/50

[lean mango]

I don't even have Shauna yet

[cunning swan]

same

[broken mulch]

Same

I didn’t bother saving my Kalostickets though

No point since I always lose the gamble and get old units lol

[upbeat lotus]

Shauna keeps avoiding me

[tardy fiber]

Next reset and reset after have big gems

Oh next reset is a special rally so its timegated

Well not timegated if has 2500 stamina

[sturdy flower]

Bea for me, forever 2/5

[violet nebula]

Colress, gordie, melony, Hugh and shauna forever 1/5🤣

Ehh they will be 5/5 in good time

[sonic cobalt]

I still lack Hugh, Melony and SS Grimsley, oddly enough.

[deft glen]

I still lack Hugh and Colress

and Olivia is forever stuck at 2/5

[upbeat lotus]

I still lack Shauna and Gordie

[cunning swan]

shauna, looker, colress, hugh and some older genpools at 2/5 and even 1/5

[vernal glade]

I’m missing a lot because I been saving since Unova VA. Looker, Courtney, Gordie, Melony, Hugh, Colress, and Shauna.

[deft glen]

Looker and Gordie are 1/5 but I always forget about them

I want 3/5 Courtney she's 2/5

[upbeat lotus]

Same, i want 3/5 Courtney badly

Some of my gen pool pairs are at 2/5 too, namely Hugh, Colress, Bertha and Courtney

Recently Melony goes up to 3/5 which is great for me

[violet nebula]

We will all get it done with time while pulling for other fave pairs, have faith

[hard wave]

I have 1/5 gordie, grimsley, lucian, colress, and courtney 2/5 volkner, bea, gladion, looker, and lana as well as no shauna and melony tho I rlly only want 1/5 melony and shauna and 3/5 bea

Saving all my tickets rn

[tawny cedar]

It aint much but considering i was never above 3k in the past months and I've finally gotten back into the saving grindset,getting to 6k gems is a small W

[slow hare]

Good job! 👏

You are on your way to having a nice anni!

[rotund monolith]

congrats! you’re gonna do great

[naive imp]

I got lucky with the kalos tickets in the villain arc ended up with 5/5 serena and 4/5 clemont eventualy got clemont to 5/5 on a random pull

So i'll just save my kalos tickets for now

[tough oriole]

I don’t really see the point of using if everyone in that pool is already 3/5, unless maybe if they’re like mega faves

[broken mulch]

I use it immediately

No point in saving, I’ll never pull the newer units with my godawful luck

[lean mango]

There's an effort in trying

[broken mulch]

Gen pool… I’m still missing Colress, Melony, and Shauna

[rustic heron]

which aren't in the ticket pool yet

[lean mango]

Been saving most of my tickets for the ticket update

[rustic heron]

same

[broken mulch]

Yeah but even after the updates all I pull are crap like Elesa Brendan etc

Day 1 units and no updates

Well Elesa isn’t day 1 but you know what I mean lol

[robust plaza]

Gen pool update when?

I'm still missing melony and hugh. and need 3/5 on some newer gen pool units

[tough oriole]

+anni, probably

+anni

[jade lava]

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

[robust plaza]

i remember we thought the gen pool updated on half anni or something but it was just refreshing

the great bait

[tough oriole]

In absol’s banner doc, the scout banners showed up with a new date, but there was no banner background or anything

[robust plaza]

oh ok

[winged fossil]

[signal halo]

I'm unsure if my gem count will be enough to pull for novelty

This month has one of the big pairs I was waiting for

And I can guarantee him

But I'm unsure if my gem count is enough to reach the second pity

[summer goblet]

after June, I'm going to go on a 2 month zen mode journey to recuperate

my gem saving is pretty out of wack now for the past 3 months

[winged fossil]

Unless I get jumpscared my goal after zoroarks going to be the anniversary, but it’s entirely possible I see a fav between zoroark and then

[summer goblet]

possibly

though if my fav is on seasonal, i may afford to skip it for long term positioning

[winged fossil]

I sort of couldn’t stop myself from thinking of something so I’m not permitted anything till zoroarks on my profile but eh, I forgive myself bc it’s my bday. I’m just not the best at stopping impulse when it comes to favs

I’m fine with the slip up mostly bc I managed to skip most from 3.5 to this month so I made it a decent way. And I’ll still have a pity again end of the month

[signal halo]

Sometimes I hate being as picky as I am

Doing csmm comfortably while following arbitrary rules makes me want to pull for types I have no need in pulling

Grass, for example

Having SS lyra along with 3/5 lyra and SS Erika is enough

But I don't like using the same trainer twice

[tardy fiber]

I just pull faves, if my faves come with a typing i wanted, then that type will be more well covered...if none of that typing appears, i just offtype or use other fave that has moves of that type or Gladion

[signal halo]

I honestly wanna monotype everything, if I can

I don't use offtype mons with on-type moves

Otherwise ghost would just be pointless

Since my best "ghost" Mon still is mewtwo

[ashen thunder]

and

[upbeat lotus]

[rare swan]

Fantina is quite solid with her expansion

Honestly, there's a workable F2P option for every type

Pull for who you like

[signal halo]

The problem is the lack of ghost supporters around her

If I'm going monotype, that is

[rare swan]

Oh you're talking full monotype teams? That's different

But an interesting goal

[upbeat lotus]

Lodge Morty exists

also there is BP Morty

[rare swan]

And Phoebe as well, even if she isn't ideal for Fantina

[upbeat lotus]

you just dont know how to take advantage of f2p and accessible pairs

[signal halo]

I clear content with them, it just doesn't feel good doing so

[rare swan]

What exactly doesn't feel good?

[signal halo]

Not being able to max out my carry (most of the time), being too close to losing, not hitting high numbers, stuff like that

Some types just do such a massive hands difference on whatever stage they face that it isn't really comparable

As for grass specifically

My issue is having lyra and SS lyra on the same team

That bothers me

[rare swan]

You do seem quite picky but I don't think that's a bad thing

[ashen thunder]

Why would that bother you

Just replace one of em

Ez

[signal halo]

Team output drops drastically

To the point using both of them is the lesser poison for me

One is the glue holding the grass type together

[ashen thunder]

I know I shouldn't say this

But

[signal halo]

The other is just flat out busted

[ashen thunder]

Should have just rolled bulu

[signal halo]

SS morty

[ashen thunder]

Wait

Doesn't Erika set sun

[signal halo]

He's my coveted fire type glue

[rare swan]

So you basically want a cracked team for every type, with all members being monotype?

As in, the same type?

[ashen thunder]

I doubt it's even possible

[signal halo]

Yeah

[ashen thunder]

Some types don't even have good supports

[rare swan]

That's definitely an interesting goal

[signal halo]

At least a cracked pokemon on each type

So far, I have achieved it on uh

[rare swan]

If that's what you consider your saving goal, that's valid

Could end up v expensive v quickly though

[ashen thunder]

It depends on how high they consider what's a cracked Pokemon is

It can be done in a budgety way

[signal halo]

Electric (pika duo)
Water (it legit is just a buffet at this point)
Poison (crobat trio is what I'd consider the lower end)
Fighting (galarian Moltres broke Bea)
Dragon (dialga, palkia and latios is absurd)
Psychic (cBede goes a very very very long way)

The pf crobat is 1/5

Steel sorta works, but I miss 3/5 colress

[rare swan]

What is your criteria for a pullworthy pair?

[signal halo]

If the type is blessed by DeNa, it has to be tier 0 or outright solve the issue I have
If not, it has to be the flagship pair for that type

[rare swan]

Then fair enough

Valid a goal as any

[signal halo]

As for issues I face

Ice needs a proper team

I only have ghetsis

And he's overwhelmingly strong, but needs at least two pairs who can pull their weights around him

Flying needs a proper carry

I despise how staraptor plays

[ashen thunder]

Well flying is limited units or blue

[signal halo]

Limited units

[ashen thunder]

So just wait out for mega salamence or smth

Unless you plan on reruns

[signal halo]

Even a Lugia rerun works

I like Lugia

Fairy needs a middle man, I'm unsure

I have strong pairs on fairy

But they don't form a cohesive team

Ghost needs an all around support

Fire needs SS morty

Because kiawe and Blaine aren't exactly great along with silver

Despite kiawe being a good support

Ground is well served, now that I think about it

Bug is solved, I think

[ashen thunder]

I mean
You are building comps that can offtype 3k for each type

It feels pretty expensive

[signal halo]

Some types just need a self sufficient carry

[ashen thunder]

Like it's ontype

[signal halo]

To feel comfortable

[ashen thunder]

You can just throw in fantina with lodge stuff

And still clear ghost weak pretty comfortably

[signal halo]

I've used base Morty like that

Was doable, didn't take a lot of tries or anything

And fantina feels wasted without a decent support for her

Specially after going for fantina shauntal cbede

Which is my highest power ghost carry kind of team

[ashen thunder]

Why cbede.....he's not ghost

[signal halo]

He isn't, but I was still figuring out I wanted full on type when I did that

And I just wanted to give them a strong support

[ashen thunder]

Are you seriously expecting cbede level of support for every typing?

[signal halo]

No

[ashen thunder]

Not every support can enable 2x dps comps

If anything for ontype 2x dps is pretty overkill even without their zone/terrain

Unless the stage has wise/sentry entry

[signal halo]

I think anything performing like the crobat trio should be in a good ballpark

I say that because my stronger teams go well and beyond that

[ashen thunder]

Crobat trio
Emma?

[signal halo]

Yes, with koga and janine

[ashen thunder]

So you want a top 5 dps unit for 17 types

[signal halo]

Emma isn't really top 5 overall, is she?

[ashen thunder]

That's also self sufficient and gives gauge

[signal halo]

Specially at 1/5

[ashen thunder]

Well for dps she's pretty much top 10 atleast

In dps list she'd be in ubers

[signal halo]

Also, even if I do

Some teams already have that

So I don't need to think about 17 pairs from where I am

[ashen thunder]

Yea
A fire team with SSmorty

Ofc it's gonna be as good as Emma since silver is busted

[signal halo]

I have no limited fire pairs

A single fighting one made fighting smooth for me

Water can likely run 0 limited pairs

Although I can run SS Kris if I want special water

Regular Kris and Hilbert is also a strong enough core

[ashen thunder]

Yea coz ontype Kris matches with ontype zerena
And silver has nuke on par with SSred

The teams comps you mentioned are what majority of players run for offtype

[signal halo]

Dark would be more comfortable if I had some obstagoon dupes

But carry wise I don't need anything

Rock is in a weird spot

I have a cracked carry

And could also fit in a decent back up

But the supports are weird

[vestal leaf]

Gardenia over base Lyra, ez

Or lodge gloria

Those are two very fun pairs

[tardy fiber]

I cannot do on-type team with faves for some typings so i just don't mind if i need to offtype,
For example:
Ice: 2 techs 1 striker
Dark: 1 tech 1 striker
Poison: 1 tech
Flying: 2 strikers 1 tech
Bug: 1 tech 1 striker
Normal: 1 tech

Also doubt that DeNa will make some of my faves become my desired role cannot imagine slither wing as bug support

Kinda why i love bp master units, its faves also its free also its support with type teamworks thats useful for mono type

[deft glen]

tbh Idc about monotyping

And I'm satisfied with my teams for each type

|| although a better teammate for Irida besides BP Candice would be nice ||

[deft glen]

like... for CS you're just using 5 supports

[tardy fiber]

Yep, I am already happy if my damage dealer is ontype

Supports can just use other typings, as long as it is a physical or special buffer

Still waiting for fairy damage dealer fave

[hard wave]

Ghetsis

[deep mantle]

the point is not having the ❗ on my menu 😂

[topaz compass]

Another day, another k

[vernal glade]

||Only thing I’m worried about when 4.0 is if hisui pokemons this year’s anniversary, as long as it’s not a fave I don’t have to pull||

[winged fossil]

sooo, i just finished erasing 3stars from existence by upgrading them to 4stars, excluding

what do i do with 3star powerups now

[topaz compass]

You just answered it. Use on eggs

[rustic heron]

exchange for 4* powerup

[slow hare]

Hoard and flex

Using the same units for CS always reminds me I don't need more units lol

[sand crown]

Yeah when you have units like Articuno on the bench, that really hammers it home

[grim plover]

yeah i havent used c.bede in a long time because i always think it's overkill lol

[slow hare]

Lol this is me, I literally have some op units at level 1 because I don't use them because it feels like cheating lol

[summer goblet]

alright, time for me to go on 2 month zen mode

doesn't matter if fav or meta comes my way, i need to save up hard

also, this will give me more motivation to catch up to other elite gem savers and surpass them

[violet nebula]

How will you surpass if they are not spending?

I mean... you are quite elite as is more so than probably 99% of players as is😅

[naive imp]

What are those 2 tickets before skip tickets i don't think i ever saw them are they old player stuff?

[summer goblet]

everyone has their weak spot

except maybe for Chest lol

[vestal leaf]

I only use him for my second csmm run when I do 3v3s and I wanna maximize numbers with non broken units

[light oyster]

I feel like I barely farmed anything for Legendary Gauntlet because I had to use the lucky cookies I earned to proceed, and I got unlucky with a lot of them

I wasted a lot of my cookies trying to put Vigilance on Brock

[tardy fiber]

I use it on shiny eggs and npc pairs, as npc pair like helena or kali are base 3* pairs but its been a long time since Kali released, not sure if DeNa still want to release NPCs

[topaz compass]

I hope I get shinies eventually for every egg I use in LG, which is like 30

I refuse to level an egg past base 4 if not a shiny

[hard wave]

Exchange them for so u can exchange them for

[hard wave]

U didnt get the free powerups? They gave custom 3/4* PUs for them in the exchange shop

[tardy fiber]

Got but that does cut down farming time especially helpful if dont have the featured boosted unit...like during kali event, i skipped both nylisia and nydawn

I also use 3* candies on her, cut down time from farming 800 vouchers five times

I can use the extra time i saved up for other stuffs, like farming her custom

4* power up is harder to come by so i farm it, but im swimming with

[kindred stag]

how does one

get money

for this game

its so expensive, dont you guys have other things you need to buy?

[lapis pine]

Yeah spending money in this game is generally discouraged

[hard wave]

I only have 2 seasonals (maybun and ny lisia) so seasonal events r rough but yeah I just used candies bcz 3* ones r easy to get, only need 6 more striker ones to 5/5 everyone but I just used support candies for kali

For naomi I did get all of them and at the time I didnt have every 3* tech maxed so I just got 2 helena copies

[tough oriole]

The daily gem bundle ex is the only reasonableish gem bundle imo

And they’ve been releasing less selects so it feels even less worth now

[hard wave]

Yes, so I dont buy gems

[lapis pine]

The way that gacha games make money is often by making people feel so stressed because of low amounts of free gems and FOMO that people are pressured into paying money. So that’s why saving is so valuable, it removes that stress

[tardy fiber]

I stopped buying things other than 20 days orb bundle, even MF gem offers are expensive now

[kindred stag]

how does one get enough gems for all their favorites then?

[lapis pine]

I do think the daily bundle is worth it

[lapis pine]

Saving free gems and skipping non faves

[hard wave]

Saving and luck

[tardy fiber]

Well usually your faves don't come every month

Especially if you has a strict list

[kindred stag]

i guess pairs do come back around sometimes

[tardy fiber]

If every unit that came out and you feel like pulling it, of course you dont have enough gems to save

[kindred stag]

problem is i like a lot of characters. but i guess i can be choosy even then

no special costumes or something idk

[tardy fiber]

Also sometimes for example a water unit come out but you already have faves that has water coverage, you can afford to skip for now due to lacking gems

You can already clear water content

Getting the unit is just for self satisfaction

Better focus on the types you are lacking while it is also faves

At least when the content that requires that typing, you can clear with ease...just add some non fave general pool/legendary adventures/f2p pairs to bolster your roster

[topaz compass]

Once you are playing awhile you earn way more than 200 3star per month. So you still need something to spend on

[hard wave]

How do u get that much? Ive played for almost 1.5 yrs and dont get that much most months

[tardy fiber]

Its boosted a lot on a month with power boost VA as 30 power boost orb can be exchanged to 1

[topaz compass]

Yeah you get like 5 per day right now with the part 2 VA

After the dailies of others

[hard wave]

Ah, I dont grind them tbh

I just go to the training area for drinks/codexes (tho luckily everyone is 140 rn and I have atleast 200+ per type and 4k ++ drinks)

I may start doing skill spheres to max those out faster

[tardy fiber]

Kinda wasteful farming those mats without training area rally boost on

Well at least the boost started last reset

[hard wave]

Not like I have anything else to do

Its a better use of stamina than 750 vouchers for one PU imo

[tardy fiber]

Well farming is kinda a thing to do, and then you are surprised how most of us have a lot of it

[hard wave]

I didnt think it was possible to farm that much

[tardy fiber]

I still have 278 in my bag and i done converted all from shop

And its still early month

[fallen path]

I had 500 before converting lol

[tardy fiber]

Daym

Well probably have much more this month as there's no new eggmons event

I did use those powerups each time i got a new shiny eggmon

[deft glen]

I finished leveling up my last unit to 140 today (Barry). Now I'll go back to farming

[fallen path]

The thing is with the VA part 2 events you can get twice as much

From the orbs and tickets

[tardy fiber]

Yep

I wonder if the VA rerun is monthly now

Didnt last month also has one

We got hoenn VA rerun in 16 days

[deft glen]

I'm always on the limit, I usually convert and have like 20 or 40 remaining

[tardy fiber]

I keep on fulfilling at least 200 per month as i want to change all of my non eggmon pairs to 5*

24 pairs left

[hard wave]

Iirc kanto during march, hoenn last few days of march and about half of april I think, sinnoh in may + alola va, hoenn this month

[deft glen]

I'm slowly making some eggmons 4*

[deft glen]

this will take a while for me

[tardy fiber]

So it will be nicer to farm as there's power boost VA event every month

[deft glen]

I still have 49 4*

[tardy fiber]

I made all shiny eggmons 4*

Might make them 5* after im done with all non eggmon pairs

But it will be a while as anniv is coming

And anniv will add some new bp 4*

[hard wave]

With lodge pairs we’ll be getting 4*s for a while

[deft glen]

We used to talk about how we had very few 4* support candies, but now I don't have 4* tech candies

[tardy fiber]

Yep as i skipped adaman and irida, i won't have 3 lodge pairs for now

[deft glen]

Idk why my messages are being sent early lol

[hard wave]

Im still missing 7 4 ⭐️ s and have 38 left to upgrade to 5 ⭐️

Tho I just upgrade anyone who gets an EX, atm everyone who does is 5* except bp karen

[vernal glade]

I’m on 5* power up saving mode now.

[deft glen]

I have 88

[tardy fiber]

But i think its ok for 4* bp pairs to come, still a bunch left

[deft glen]

I'm being cautious but not so much

I'm deciding who I'll EX now

[hard wave]

No lodge steven/gloria/n/adaman and no bugscy or team rocket

[tardy fiber]

Oh i missed team rocket as well

[hard wave]

assuming its the same as last year u can 5/5 them all

[tardy fiber]

Hope they rerun

[hard wave]

Same, atleast bugscy rerun will prob have his custom PUs

[tardy fiber]

Nah i will probably only 3/5 too much uncertainty for lodge pairs, well at least i will 5/5 strikers...im swimming with 4* strike candies

[deft glen]

I hope they give 5* bp ticket if they release more of those

I just got Mesprit, my last one

[tardy fiber]

Nice a fellow that claimed Regirock

[hard wave]

I mean if its like last year we’ll get 4 new pairs so u can use 16 to 5/5 them all if u wanted to ofc

Im almost at 8k on r4, only missing regirock so ill go for it

[tardy fiber]

It will be a while before i 3/5 upcoming new bp master pairs, as i need to 3/5 ssmina and ssacerola first

[deft glen]

I like Regirock except when it's in LG

my favorite Regi

[tardy fiber]

It is a good pair, it carries my 2 diancies team

That rock teamwork does help

[deft glen]

I only get to use in LG

at least it gives me an incentive to use more of my rooster

I would never touch Flint if it wasn't for LG

[tardy fiber]

I use mine in csmm as well like this week, i use both mesprit and evelyn

Psychic teamwork mesprit plus alola spirit lussamine plus sslana

[deft glen]

Lana

[tardy fiber]

Evelyn fire teamwork + 2 ho-ohs

[hard wave]

I need alot more 4* tech/support if I want to 5/5 everyone

Atleast strikers will be doable

[deft glen]

My Lodge Serena is EX lol

[tardy fiber]

I only 5/5 strike

Tech and support 4* candies seems scarce

[hard wave]

Only ones im missing are jessie and gLoria for strikers

[tardy fiber]

21 4* strike candies left with no pair to candy

[hard wave]

Yeah, ive been 5/5ing my techs but I should prob have atleast 3 before doing that, so I can have 2 extra to 3/5

I should probably save tech candies incase I can get steven and n

[tardy fiber]

Also 29 3* techs and 31 3* support candies, thats why i just 5/5 NPC pairs using candies and didn't get their dupes from event shop

[hard wave]

I got all dupes for naomi and 2 for helena, but now I dont think ill get dupes unless its a 4* tech or support

Maybe striker but just 3/5

Could also do 3* strikers up to 3/5 until I 5/5 the remaining 3

[tardy fiber]

You still got a lot 3* strikers that haven't 5/5?

[hard wave]

Only 3, so I need 6 candies total

Ive played for about 1.5 yrs but didnt do events for like 3/4 months

[tardy fiber]

Ouch

All of my 3* pairs are already 5/5

Well unless they rerun jessie james

[hard wave]

Luckily it shouldnt take too long, and I dont use many base 3/4*s often so its fine

Even if I did they are 3/5

[tardy fiber]

Well some might be needed like i didn't know that Maylene would help me to clear lucas EBE... luckily i 5* her so she's a bit tankier

[hard wave]

Same, she helped me early on so she’s 5* already

Tho I didnt end up clearing the EBEs with her

[tardy fiber]

Also blaine is my mvp to clear anniraihan EBE if it pops up again

As he has weather and trap move

[hard wave]

But doesnt it have a boost

Luckily I have anni may and raihan, missing skyla tho but I plan to get her anyway

[tardy fiber]

Well he only need to survive that EBE sync once, use trap at mid and use sun twice

[hard wave]

Oh

[winged fossil]

How rare are reruns for stuff like the free sand slash unit btw? Or units similar to it

[tardy fiber]

Well there's still no rerun for npc pairs

But helena might rerun on Halloween

Naomi sandslash is a bit hard though

As she is related to scrosa pair event

Not seasonal events

Well for non NPC pairs, CGio and Bluecanine did rerun before this, mistyduck as well i think

[winged fossil]

Bummer

Cgio blue and misty are the event ones I have iirc

[tardy fiber]

Well fall is not too far, just after anniv so Helena might rerun

[vernal glade]

IF she does

She was part of the 2022 Halloween event but I see her being obtainable again likely.

[tardy fiber]

Well didn't last year's seasonal event always rerun on the following year

It will be uncertain for 2024 though

[hard wave]

Not looking forward to summer event next month due to bad ticket rates

[tardy fiber]

I hope july is a skip month for me

[vernal glade]

||It isn’t for me, Summer Hilda will be mine||

[tardy fiber]

As rarely my fave become festive seasonal units and there's no Galar VA probably as they usually release paulo interlude on the month before VA

[deft glen]

I wonder if summer will have of my faves

I need to save

[grim plover]

summer archie pls

[tardy fiber]

Well Jirachi that has wishes attach to it and kartana that looks like origami might fit summer theme but Galar VA and anniv are too close for comfort

[deft glen]

I don't think we're getting a Summer Korrina or Summer Serena

so maybe I'm safe lol

[hard wave]

Same || I want to get ss morty eusine (hopefully early) then save ||

[rare swan]

Kalos doesn't have a summer unit, so you never know....those two girlies are popular

[bleak falcon]

Ok, but what if Summer Clair

[rare swan]

RIP Chest

[bleak falcon]

Clair deserves an alt, tbh

[rare swan]

She does

[tough oriole]

How is chest supposed to save if there’s a clair alt

[bleak falcon]

Shrug

[rare swan]

Chest truly struggling out here fr

Imagine only having 1 million gems

[tough oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/squidward-spare-change-spare-some-change-begging-poor-gif-18999842

[tardy fiber]

Still not safe for chest, what if chest want to 5/5 claire and nita alt and it costs 5 pities for each

[winged fossil]

missed a day of bliss from focusing on the cs challenge but it was like 100 gems from day 1 right

[lean mango]

ye

[clever oyster]

29k gems

[tardy fiber]

91.4k gems

[topaz compass]

Another day another k

[slow hare]

Missed dailies yesterday cuz I was feeling kinda unwell 😦

[grim plover]

35k gems

i'll reach pity for silver

[violet nebula]

Awesome

[vernal glade]

Yes it was.

But luckily it wasn’t the the day that gives two bliss battles.

[vernal glade]

194.8k gems

[violet nebula]

High roller🤣

[deft glen]

that'd be the end of my gems

[timber wren]

i need a month to help my gems recover

[cunning swan]

215k gems! Silver can't come fast enough

Though I'm so close to 6 pities, I might just hold out a little longer for that screenshot

[deft glen]

me too

I have only 33/34k

[feral vale]

I need a month as well

[deft glen]

I don't feel comfortable having less than a pity lol

[feral vale]

Me watching my gems go down the drain

[upbeat lotus]

Look like i will skip July to save for potential Sonia alt during Galar VA which is likely to happen in August

[fallen path]

there's one more then it's full steam ahead saving for 4th anni

[winged fossil]

I need July to not have a new fav

Bc doubt I’m getting another pity next month beyond what’s going to N

[vernal glade]

The next pity should be at 73.6k

[winged fossil]

If 36.6 is a pity I think it’s 73.2

[vernal glade]

Oh it was 2

[winged fossil]

Right now I’m at like 19-20k or so bc I ended up slipping up on my bday

[vernal glade]

You should get enough for Zoroark. 16k left this month.

[winged fossil]

Yeah.

I’m still safe for zoroark I’m just not safe for anything but it

||think the main thing that broke me was not wanting to wait 1.5yr to have another chance at a unit. LuSSa first run experience makes me fear master fair months.||

If from zoroark to anni can be non favs it’ll be nice

[lean mango]

Gem count, to 120k we go!

[summer goblet]

From 380k 2 months ago to right now, I’m plan to zen for 2 whole months and skip everyone till anni

I’ve been slacking and overspending for 3 months

Time to buckle in

[violet nebula]

You can do it sir

[summer goblet]

Thank you

[winged fossil]

Gem report after getting most of currently available gems

[topaz compass]

I have decent gem count since rest of month is all saving but I know pre-anni bait and anni are going to ruin me

[tardy fiber]

Pre anni bait will be galar VA

[deft glen]

Gloria alt

[tardy fiber]

Victor Zarude for more grass monke 🐒

[grim plover]

summer leon and summer raihan, dena toldme

[rotund monolith]

i never saw zarude as worthy of mythical status

it's just a monkey

[robust shore]

...i forgot zarude existed until reading this

[rotund monolith]

it's not like a wish granting pokemon that only appears once every thousands of years or a prince of the sea pokemon or a pokemon that will always grant victory or a really cool spooky ghost pokemon that manifests from the shadows of dojo trainers

no its just

monkey

pales in comparasion to the other mythicals in terms of lore and that's a net negative

[tough oriole]

It’s only mythical cause of the movie

Heck, it only exists because of the movie

[broken mulch]

Huh

Never heard of Zarude until now

[tardy fiber]

Well how about melmetal line...a screw nut being a mythical

[sturdy flower]

perfectly sums up pokemon go

[tardy fiber]

Oh right SV still doesn't have any mythical

[rancid vale]

yet

[tough oriole]

When was zarude released
Edit: it was revealed on pokemon day and released in august

[tardy fiber]

DLC legendaries are still legendaries as it is dlc related and not distributed through wi-fi gift event or gamestop codes

I hope the teal mask dlc trio revealed pokemon are starters and not legendaries, i will be broke with SV's stuffs ...18 paradoxes, 4 legendaries and 5 unconfirmed status of dlc pokemons

Well maybe its finally time to chase reruns

[tough oriole]

I don’t think it’d increase the pace at which we get special mons that much tho

[tardy fiber]

Phew it will be nice if its like that

[rotund monolith]

i like it! its nice and interesting instead of just Fucked Up Monkry

[dark cliff]

Teal Mask?

Zarude has the best theme song tho

Sing now, Zarude
We are the strongest

[tardy fiber]

Yep Teal Mask DLC

Hope the 3 other pokemons other than Ogerpon are not legendaries

[sturdy flower]

umm... we might get more paradoxes too, i'd say definitely because there should be a DLC with area zero depths too at some point

[tardy fiber]

Yep i just hope they will spread it like release normal pokemons as well and not paradoxes and legendaries back to back every month

[hard wave]

I doubt they will, its not like it’ll only be paldea after its added

[cunning swan]

217k! just a bit more to 6 pities

[tardy fiber]

I will have 93k next reset, i dont think i can reach 100k ||before getting Eusine ||

[feral vale]

Currently at 51k :0

[crisp oracle]

Currently at 76K and counting. Waiting for mine ||to see if I will bite on SS Morty||

[grim plover]

im at 35.9

pity soon

[rotund monolith]

im at 28k

8.6k more to go until pity

when does ss morty’s run end?

i want to see if there’s anything good in datamine before getting copies of him

[crisp oracle]

in 24 days

2 July 2023

[feral vale]

Ends <t:1688277600:R>

[crisp oracle]

how do y'all do that time stuff

[rotund monolith]

so we’ll definably get a datamine by then

or not

thats really skirting close….but frankly ive always planned to candy morty so its not a big problem

[feral vale]

There’s a site for it, but you can copy and paste any existing ones in Discord

Looks like this

[crisp oracle]

Starts in 19 days | Ends in a month

what

what is the site name lol

[feral vale]

This is one I can name, but I think Dreamy said he has trouble with it? https://hammertime.cyou/

[crisp oracle]

<t:1686171000:d>

hmm, solid

<t:1687467000:d>

[feral vale]

And it has different format options

<t:1688882423:f>

[crisp oracle]

sick

[deft glen]

So weird seeing everyone talking in English and then there's a box with the dates in portuguese

[feral vale]

[naive imp]

I want gens

[dark cliff]

Ohhh the DLC for scarlet violet is

Teal Mask

[cobalt frost]

okay

genuine question
i only realized there was a stamina rally going on yesterday

im about at 1200/2500 stamina used

do i still have enough time

(i was attempting to stockpile stamina for a day or 2 as i finished the hisui event)

[naive imp]

Yes?

Anyway i'm poor again

[old thorn]

[tardy jolt]

If you’re above level 130, each day you should be consuming 500+ stamina; you have 3 days, so you should be fine

[mossy hawk]

In worst case, you spend gems to refill stamina

Still better than to miss the rally reward

[sturdy hatch]

The perils of stacking stamina

[tardy fiber]

Luckily i only save stamina 1 day before new VA

Only left Galar VA then im free

Unless there's Paulo VA right after

[grim plover]

Paulo & hoopa unbound pls dena

[cunning swan]

i never stack stamina even if there's an event the next day

[tardy fiber]

94,565 gems currently with another 1100 gems stuck in the missions

[topaz compass]

Another day. Another k

[lapis pine]

I’m confused what does being level 130 have to do with stamina?

Another day. Another slay

[grim plover]

you gain +1 max stamina per level

[lapis pine]

Yeah but what does it have to do with consuming 500 a day

It doesn’t increase the amount you get

[tardy fiber]

The calculation for me is easy, from the time i sleep till reset it will collect 200+ stamina, do daily missions and get 200 stamina...the stamina accumulated after finishing that one till i go to sleep is another 100+ stamina

So 500+ stamina a day

[dire meteor]

I've been quite lazy myself and just spend stamina on reset. I've come dangerously close on missing the last prize in the stamina rally a few times.

Though in that case I spend like 400 stamina per day

[tardy fiber]

I almost level up, so that's bonus stamina

[idle estuary]

I need strength...I have been hoping for SS Morty for a while, and of course he pops up after my gems have been depleted by two pities. He's not worth YOLOing no matter how good people say he is, right?

[sturdy flower]

if you spend real money occassionally he's likely to be on anni select

[idle estuary]

Oh really?? Thank you for the hope!!! I do use my free app store credits when I get them

[sturdy flower]

just go for the 3$ bundle

[idle estuary]

Yeah, that's what I always do

[sturdy flower]

two are enough even for a 5k select

[idle estuary]

I really appreciate it!

[broken mulch]

I never stack stamina

Most that I will do is spend stamina until i reach the maximum amount left so that when reset hits it’s almost filled up

[wind nymph]

My usual “strategy” with stamina is to claim the daily one and use up all of it, wait till Dinner to recharge then use it again, and then let it recharge overnight

[crisp oracle]

||SS Morty is tempting ngl||

||Please help I need to save||

[cunning swan]

Wait for datamine

[crisp oracle]

Also should I be stacking stamina

[feral vale]

Nope

[vernal glade]

It is optional but the more you have, the faster you could get gems from missions when a new event releases.

[feral vale]

But the stamina rally is also going on, so I do not recommend it at this time

[wispy cedar]

Almost back up to pity with non paid gems!

[timber wren]

very close!

good saving

[wispy cedar]

Ty ty

Wait am I not at pity yet? I thought pity was 33.3K

[timber wren]

36.6

[wispy cedar]

Ah shit

Math is hard

[timber wren]

nearly there at least

[wispy cedar]

True true

I’m gonna save for anni

[timber wren]

youll be in a good position then saving from now

[crisp oracle]

77,825 Gems

Here we go!

Time to save for anni!

[remote night]

[vernal glade]

Anniversary about the be a very huge skip month for me.

Last year was 60k I think?

[sturdy flower]

if we don't get Undella Town villa squad this year summer might be easy skip as always

they don't want to give us bikini adults

[slow hare]

Whoooah this is neat

[rotund monolith]

i want bikini cynthia and elesa.....

[lean mango]

Gem count, a good day for gems

Sadly I won't be able to get to my 4th pity

[feral vale]

Idk if they’ll do that and if it’s appropriate enough ^^;

[lean mango]

Honestly still feels like a dream

[rotund monolith]

so summer marnie is appropriate enough but not summer elesa and summer cynthia?

[lean mango]

Is what Marnie is wearing considered a bikini?

[rotund monolith]

hm? i've only seen her top part, id have to look at her full design. now that ive seen it, its not but its still kind of rude

i was talking about summer units

i guess the people here just don't look at the context when speaking and just barge into people's conversations because they object to a single word being used, i guess

[lean mango]

Huh, but it was bikinis that were mentioned

Swimsuits are fine for Summer, not sure about specifically bikinis tho

[rotund monolith]

you know what forget it i dont care about this convo anymore

its dumb

[lean mango]

oh ok

[feral vale]

[rotund monolith]

[tardy fiber]

Hope July is a skip for me

Due to missing paulo interlude, galar VA might be on August

So i need gems for that + anniv

[rotund monolith]

same tbh

only thing that would make me pull is colress unit or select scout with him in it

thats it tho

[tardy fiber]

Hope colress alt appears on Paulo VA, other than Paulo and Tina, it seems Colress and Ghetsis also keep on appearing in it.

[vernal glade]

I’m saving for October.

||If no faves to pull them waiting next October.||

[rotund monolith]

YEAH!!!! that would be so cool!!!! whoever is writing the paulo va really likes unova and it shows

i would also probably pull for paulo

[tough oriole]

Colress and Shiny Genesect

[tardy fiber]

I will pull if he is with hoopa unbound and not with rockruff

[rotund monolith]

the dream

he had one in pokespe so

[rotund monolith]

i would pull for paulo regardless if its rockruff or unbound

im an oshi puller

[lapis pine]

I wouldn’t

[sturdy flower]

i wouldn't 2
