[winged fossil]

Was that champ road addition

[hard wave]

It was the kantrio one

Then 3rd was all 2020 fairs excluding kantrio

3.5 was the same as 3rd but diantha and iris instead of n gloria and ss cynthia

[winged fossil]

3.5 was champion themed

[hard wave]

Yeah

[winged fossil]

I wonder what theming they’ll use for the next one

[vernal glade]

So 4.0 will give us a free pull then if I’m correct.

[hard wave]

Hopefully

2.5 and 3.5 were in feb and 3rd in july, but it may have just been cuz of the anime stuff

We could get it for the run up, so it’ll be in august

[topaz compass]

I expect a free one again but I am over 50% confident they do NOT give us any paid selects, and if they do it won't be more than 1, even though in past we got 2 or 3 for some milestones

[summer goblet]

I agree with that sentiment

Who knows you develop new favs with new characters you never thought off

[topaz compass]

That happens to me alot for sure

Especially because main games never had voices

So a good voice or story event made me like some characters alot when I hardly remembered them originally

[summer goblet]

True

Like i wasn’t a fan of marnie before

Now i really love her now after using her and getting to know her better

That and I don’t play swsh

[grim plover]

4th anni will be villain anniversary to close the VAs

[slow hare]

Oooh..... Very possible honestly

[hard wave]

SS Gio, SS Cyrus, Lysandre, SS Lysandre, and Rose would be the only options for that free select tho

[summer goblet]

If limited select scout came often

I may decide to give up daily pulls for good

Unfortunately dena is being difficult right now

[vernal glade]

A villain anniversary? That’s a good idea.

[fallen path]

That would be cool

[winged fossil]

Rose being in a free select so soon? X to doubt

[hard wave]

Exactly

[crisp oracle]

hopefully we get these pokefair select free tickets every once in a while

hopefully they do it again for anniversary; however instead of champions a pool of other pokefairs like N and Lear and whatnot

[feral vale]

Bro that’d be sick

[winged fossil]

Alder is a champion tho

I’m hoping for a theme that isn’t champions that can include N

Pls don’t make me buy the monthly pf for him dena

[hard wave]

Im conflicted bcz red is one of the pairs I want so I want him in the free select, but I also want to use it to unlock lodge pairs (priority rn is N > Gloria > Steven), however red has lodge potential, but then again id rather spend gems for red than the other 3

[topaz compass]

I am praying for free OG Raihan as my last missing lodge unit

[hard wave]

Its possible since we got diantha and iris

Im kind of hoping a rerun I want comes with gloria/steven/n so I have an excuse to pull for them

But idk who would, the earliest released units I want are red and ingo everyone else is sinnoh VA+

[topaz compass]

In this scenario another giovanni then

[broken mulch]

So who would be in a free villain select

[vernal glade]

Well N, Maxie, Archie, SS Gio, SS Cyrus, SS Lysandre.

[broken mulch]

Master fairs? Lol no

[vernal glade]

Ya, that won’t work. Hmm… what would be a free villain select?

[hard wave]

Every villain PF

[vernal glade]

Ya that’ll definitely work

[hard wave]

SS Gio and Cyrus havent had a free rerun, why would they make them free before that
Lysandre is possible
SS Lysandre is too new
Rose is way too new

[vernal glade]

Ya, guess your right. SS Lysandre too new.

[grim plover]

yeah

some villains didnt get alts, and maybe it was because they would be anni units

[dark cliff]

I usually end up with 1 summer unit buttt I may sacrifice for the good of Oleana and a master fairs

[grim plover]

gio (kanto), ghetsis and lusamine

[dark cliff]

Also I want a damn Halloween pair this year

I have a hope and inclination to believe they’ll do my spooky tree

Shiny spooky tree

[topaz compass]

As a math guy and meta chaser I'm struggling to decide whether to pull Urshifu/Volcanion having neither. Neither trainer or pokemon are faves but they have good 1/5 kits and I'm hoping to hit 100 LG streak milestone on the next one

[bleak falcon]

If LG is the reason then it might be best to ask the folks over in that channel about it

[vestal leaf]

If you want LG carry jirachi is better than both I think lol

[dark cliff]

Urshifu has a less RNG mechanic at 1/5

And a debuffing attack

[tardy fiber]

Im happy that i can form 1 strike and 1 tech candy with next month's coins

Also i just check water game mode prize, can get 10 certs woohoo

I will totally use non faves if it gives me 10 certs

[hard wave]

I still dont get the water mode it seems rlly hard to earn 180k

Also this month its the only yellow coin + one from bp track im guessing?

[tardy fiber]

There's a lot of points, like clear in few minutes...the quicker the more points you get

[hard wave]

It says 2 so

[hard wave]

But how many times can u do it? U cant re use pairs either so it may be harder to do once u use up ur best pairs

Strike coins seem nice this month, but only 7 support

[tardy fiber]

If you use 3 water, the points multiplier will also times 3

[topaz compass]

It is only 5 fights total allowed right?

[topaz compass]

So what are multipliers for 0 water, 1 water, 2 water?

[tardy fiber]

https://pastebin.com/kkxTxwJ7

Just read it, plenty to type

I just need to aim to get 60k points in total, if i use all 15 water pairs...the score will be times 3 so it becomes 180k thus getting all rewards

[bleak falcon]

Oh wow, you have to use at least 1 Water type on all teams. Didn’t expect that

[vernal glade]

15 water pairs huh? I think I can do it.

[tardy fiber]

Also most bosses got rules, like if you use any strikers against marlon the striker will get all 5 stats debuffed by 80%

Cannot heal in lana boss stage

Misty boss immune to status interference and conditions

Nessa none

Archie special attack damage reduced by 80%

So need to use ssgrimsley, kris, lsilver, crasher wake on archie

Maybe i will put suppot + tech on marlon team

Oh misty has hail gimmick

[hard wave]

Wait we need to only use water pairs?

[tardy fiber]

No but if you use 3 non water pairs in a team...the score is 0

If 1 water its time 1.0, 2 water is 2.0, 3 water is 3.0 multiplier

[hard wave]

Yeah, but do u get less points if u use 5 water total vs 15 total? I thought it said u need to use 3 water pairs total

[tardy fiber]

Yep

You got less points

[hard wave]

Well atleast its water

Are the battles difficult

[tardy fiber]

5 water so each team score is times 1.0

15 water each team score is times 3.0

So if you get 60k points with 5 water team the it will be 180k points with 15 water pairs

[hard wave]

[tardy fiber]

So if you use 1 water pair each team and you want to get all rewards which is 180k, you need to increase the params and get points till each team you get at least 36k points

But if you use more water pairs, you can use less param and make the difficulty lesser

To reach 180k points

Like probably take this if you use less water

It wont be much, its like the sides have 10.4k spatk and 32k hp

[vernal glade]

So, it’s gonna feel like an EBE.

[tardy fiber]

There's also a lot of other sources of points, like how many times you attack, how fast you clears, how many stat buffs and debuffs you gives

Iirç if you use confusion also there's 1k point each and each pair with main character tag gives 1k

So eggmon and protags will give extra

[winged fossil]

Wait, debuff count? I thought it was only buff count

I didn’t see anything about debuffs for it’s scoring on the letter

[tardy fiber]

Iirc the self debuff count like N -def when use tm

And lysandre tm

[winged fossil]

So it counts as positive for points? O.o so it’s just stat changes to self or ally

[tardy fiber]

Oh right, it doesn't count

[hard wave]

So basically 36k a stage need to plan my teams

[tardy fiber]

Atk -2 but def +3 count as +3

[hard wave]

I should be able to do 3 waters per team so I need to reach 12k a stage without the x3 multiplier

[tardy fiber]

Yep 3 water only need 12k

1 water need 36k

2 water 24k

Oops 18k

[hard wave]

Shouldnt be too hard, alot of water pairs I have are MCs so that helps

[winged fossil]

Is there a cap to point per stage

[tardy fiber]

Nope

Thats the only prestige part

Not sure if choose master difficulty will got this or only top players will get

[hard wave]

What is

[tardy fiber]

Well there's no high points limit, the higher you score the higher you rank just like Gauntlet streaks

Just not sure that master ball badge is for top few players or those that clear master difficulty

[hard wave]

Oh

Made my teams, hoping to have EX maypert by then she’s 2nd in line tho so idk, lodge irida may help tho

Or maybe ill do her next, not sure

[sturdy flower]

theme: lodge pokefairs?

[sturdy flower]

should be people who show up on leaderboard?

[hard wave]

So its only for certain ppl possibly?

[tardy fiber]

Either that or this, well just do 500 strength to enter it

[rotund monolith]

yeah remember with the poll thing they didn’t have Warden Ingo or Meili on it

I think Meili and Warden Ingo are coming for anni

[chrome nest]

I won’t be surprise if origin dialga and Palkia will be for anni

Or a pre anni unit

[tardy fiber]

I hope anniv fills the missing MF passives..which is Kanto Pride, Alola Pride, Unova Pride/Spirit

[hard wave]

So choosing this is already 18k?

[tardy fiber]

Yep 18k minimum it says if 500 strength

[hard wave]

That should be easy then, just run an OP damage dealer and 2 water units

Actually u could do 15 water pairs on ultra hard

Since 12k minimum x 15

[tardy fiber]

Yep, just not sure if need that difficulty to get master ball badge

[tardy fiber]

This badge

But using all 15 water pairs to get all rewards are kinda manageable

[hard wave]

Ah right

[tardy fiber]

Man, i just checked my Roster and i only have 12 dragons

How to do if High Score Dragon appears

13 if add shiny dragonite eggmon

[sturdy hatch]

Improvise, adapt, overcome

[tardy fiber]

They doesn't even release new spotlights

[crisp oracle]

Gem Check

[tardy fiber]

Not gonna pull varieties for now

[crisp oracle]

who's ready for Tate tomorrow?

[tardy fiber]

110,680

[topaz compass]

I hope Jirachi isn't good because I plan to skip

[vernal glade]

212k

[crisp oracle]

56K, slowly climbing back up personally

[oak crest]

Unless the Doom Desire deals rly good dmg, if not it really isnt that good as i hoped for

[winged fossil]

My gems are ready for the next magic trick, just trying to be patient at this point rather than impulsing like I partially want to ahaha

Bummer that I’m forced to skip a fav rerun for another fav rerun

[lean mango]

63k

[rustic heron]

||tiered scout here i come||

[vernal glade]

Skipping.

[rustic heron]

~70k? i know i have somewhere in the early 70s just not sure how much

[tardy fiber]

Only these 3 resets and then im hibernating till next datamine

[vernal glade]

7 resets for me.

[tardy fiber]

I guess i can already start to level 140 non faves, i almost level 150 all faves

Oh there's still 4 tapus, sshilda, summer twins left

[chrome nest]

Help I got an itch to yolo because I have a multi ready

[upbeat lotus]

if you yolo you have to EX Cheren

[chrome nest]

I’m excited for ex hop

Steel weak will be a lot easier

[tardy fiber]

Im happy, it will be a great boost to my Gloria especially because my gloria is 3/5 and doesnt unlock haymaker

[gray sail]

Another favorite down. With July being the skip month, I'll secure the pity amount by August.

Hope a fave won't turn up for a long time.

[ashen thunder]

I am scared of August

Coz last time I got a full skip month, the month after that had 4 favs

[tardy fiber]

I hope there's only 1/2 faves for galar VA part 2

Oh right there's also paulo finale

[oak crest]

skip finale

[tardy fiber]

Well if its only Paulo Lycanroc and Tina Flareon will be easy to skip

But if there's hoopa unbound

[warm scarab]

I am trying to resist spending my gems guys

This is so hard

Gempullholic

[strange prawn]

how many gems before the end of Irida Banner?

[tardy fiber]

Banner command on bot zone says 4950 gems

[strange prawn]

I've went all-in with all the free gems I've got in the Irida Banner and I haven't gotten a single copy of her (363/400)

worse case scenario I have to hit the 400/400

• I fear I might not have enough going into Oleana Banner (I've heard this patch has a low Free Gem giving around 23k+)

[vestal leaf]

||Goddamn the error pomatools made on Tate was making me skip easily, now between that and the prospect of not having a dual rerun I'm really feeling the want to pull the cute twins...||

[tardy fiber]

His ||doom desire is 250 bp iirc, higher than sscyrus||

[vestal leaf]

Ye

They initially said it was 120

Which was pretty bad

250 is bonkers

I'm not censoring because it's info everyone should consider tbfh

[tardy fiber]

Well if the info cause ppl to be tempted to pull, better for it to be censored

As this is a saving thread

[vestal leaf]

Mhhh I censored the part about that, hope it's fair enough

[summer goblet]

well crap I'm tempted after the story

[tardy fiber]

The event story?

[summer goblet]

||wanting to pull for Tate and Liza now||

yep

[tardy fiber]

I like to see archie

[summer goblet]

well, its going be a long summer month to resist

[tardy fiber]

Hope there will be a future event that focus on maxie

[summer goblet]

yep, i hope

those 2 Hoenn Villans are the best

[tardy fiber]

Iirc he only appears in sunglasses event

[summer goblet]

yeah

[tardy fiber]

Other than their release event and VA

[summer goblet]

yeah

hope we get more stories for other villans as well

that is not villan arc

[tardy fiber]

Nice to see the villains being good, well except Gio and Ghetsis...hard for them to be redeemed, even Cyrus is nice in Hisui event

[summer goblet]

yep

let's see how Rose and Oleona will do

even though i bet they are only misunderstood and not a villan

so they will see the errors of the ways after the event

[tardy fiber]

||absolutely already posted some leaks about them in his twitter, kinda interesting though||

||multiverse shenanigans||

[summer goblet]

ah, i see

well, i just prob go watch the Youtube video then since i don't like waiting too long

but i keep my mouth shut as always

[tardy fiber]

Not sure if he posted the video, but there's pic in his twitter

[summer goblet]

ah

well once Absol's video dropped the VA arc, i go watch it then and grab some snack along with it

[tardy fiber]

He took long time to compile water game mode so his video upload gets disturbed

[vestal leaf]

||The "wdym I was arrested" face had me rolling||

^ galar VA spoiler

[tardy fiber]

Well at least this answers why there's 2 kyurems in here

[summer goblet]

now its getting intersting

[tardy fiber]

So no problem for warden Ingo

[summer goblet]

crap, the spolier video is not out yet

[tardy fiber]

And who knows, DeNa might even release Cool Maxie and Asian Archie with primals after this

[summer goblet]

yes

[tardy fiber]

Well as ours are good anyway, and those version might be downright evil, especially if they beat the protags in their multiverse

[summer goblet]

oh yeah def

[tardy fiber]

Cannot wait to see this game going forward, well these time stuffs might tie in with SV paradoxes as well

[summer goblet]

yep, game will never die

[tardy fiber]

This made me want to support more but i can only afford 20 days sync orb haha...well i can afford others but need to have as good value as that bundle to tempt me

Like PomaDay 1k paid gems offer costs the same as 20 day 3k paid gems offer for me

[oak crest]

I hope if Archie gets Jirachi, in the future, its a striker with Doom Desire as a moveset

[tardy fiber]

Im impressed, ||doom desire on tate is way less stress than ssN hit once in 3 turns thingy||

Just it wont proc to the next target if that target already dead with your second atk move

[rustic heron]

yea, that’s a bit sad

i think it’s alright tho, flash cannon does decent enough dps

[oak crest]

kinda wanted it as a selectable move set tho sadly

[rustic heron]

||plus you still get the stat boost||

[tardy fiber]

Yeah ||that guaranteed 2 stack spdef down really helps, it even procs when i use charm||

Same like scrosa iirc

She debuff spatk stats even when i use sweet scent

[rustic heron]

scrosa has AOE tho right, with sweet scent

tho i’d say that for the defensive stats, single target is fine enough because i feel like debuffing those has more impact than debuffing offenses

[tardy fiber]

Yep debuff offense is more niche

||it does help to reduce Bertha earthquake damage in cs though ||

With charm

[rustic heron]

[tardy fiber]

Adachi

[rustic heron]

||kinda surprised he doesn’t get any multipliers for lowering the opponent’s attack||

[tardy fiber]

He is ||kinda good to pair with annisteven because he buffs a bunch of random stats good for good form||

Oh right i can make 1 striker and 1 tech candy this month, thanks DeNa

[rustic heron]

||he does make a good utility pair, even if his stat buffs are pretty random||

[tardy fiber]

I hope there's free 1 of each move candy on anniv, i really really need more strike

[rustic heron]

i need more tech

||tate’s gonna eat 2 and then i need a bunch for ss hilbert and ss wally and||

tech pairs are overabundant

[tardy fiber]

I only need 2 more techs, but 1 will clear this month ...well the other one, i hope for seasonal select so that i can 3/5 fall iris

[rustic heron]

it’s a shame they’re the most fun

i’m HOPING i can get more firis when i try to get fallister in october

if i don’t then that’s fine as well

[grim plover]

well ||tate destroyed me, im at 19k now||

hopefuly i can save next month

[tardy fiber]

Also i kinda happy that i only aim for 3/5 and not 5/5 so that does reduce bunch of candies demand from my list

[rustic heron]

same here

[oak crest]

they really need to increase tech candy coin income with the amt of techs they throw at us

[rustic heron]

the only pair i’ve 5/5ed is raihan, but i’m gonna be real i kinda regret that because his damage is still middling even with cakewalk maxed

||guess that’s where jirachi comes in, huh?||

[oak crest]

its so bad to the point when we get more strikers for the month its considered a rare occasion

[tardy fiber]

Yep, because tech position is kinda vague by DeNa...well weather/zone/terrain/debuffs/rebuffs/ weird gimmick like on ssN are techs by DeNa

So they made bunch of techs

[rustic heron]

and then you get someone like sceven who’s a tech

[tardy fiber]

Probably due to rebuff

Oh right i forgot to see how many coins that we can get from water game mode

[oak crest]

i think 1 of ea when i took a quick glance on the list earlier on

[rustic heron]

yea it’s one of each

[tardy fiber]

So minus 1 from gauntlet, gauntlet is 2 of each right but it gives gems and 10 certificates

[oak crest]

2 of ea type and 1 gen candy coin

This 1 is 1 of each type and 1 gen candy coin

If able to reach the pts

[tardy fiber]

This gives gems like ice weak cs

[oak crest]

Wow codex

And 120 too lol

[sturdy hatch]

Oooh 3000 gem present

[sly breach]

Alright i need help deciding my next move

[tardy fiber]

120 for each boss so 600 in total also 500 gems

[topaz compass]

I think being happy/sad about the difference between rewards on a particular event is a bad way to look at it. The only thing that matters is how much in total Dena gives us for a month. They are the ones putting everything together, so giving us less candy coins, etc over a month is their choice. Getting gems in this "extra" compared to LG is meaningless when our overall month gem count is low

[sly breach]

||I am pulling dojo gloria but i want to pull till pity so maybe i have multiple copies (i know presumptuous of me) but i am looking to pull oleana too so want to know terrible idea or not i have 25k gems now so i know i would have pity for both but at the expense of anni units||

[tardy fiber]

Higher than april though, april only gives 24k gems...this datamine is 26k gems

[sly breach]

Also ||not that i need to pull oleana just think its a fun unit to play||

[tardy fiber]

I forgot how much for june, iirc same 26k range

[vestal leaf]

Choose one tbh

They run at the same time, if one goes well you COULD consider the other one

But if one goes bad...

I also think both most likely will end after next datamine so...

[sly breach]

Oleana till mid August but dojo gloria is gone on or before next datamine

[tardy fiber]

Yep only need to be careful of summer pairs, iirc even the alola varieties last till after datamine

[sly breach]

What i want to really know is am i crazy planning to drop one pity into dojo gloria

[vestal leaf]

When does that dual end?

[cunning swan]

Wait until she comes out and see showcases then reevaluate your decision again

Your opinions might change with time

[vestal leaf]

I mean dropping a pity is possible period

On every banner

[tardy fiber]

Oh wait

Dual banner only till july 25

So probably cannot reach datamine

[cunning swan]

July 25. Might not last till datamine

[vestal leaf]

Mhhh

Yeah not likely

Idk that dual is really good if you really lack water DPS and if one of the two is big fave

But there's so much water in gen pool and f2p

I doubt anyone truly needs two water DPS

Would be another talk if it was SS kris

[sly breach]

Funny enough am pulling her for steel and fighting dps

[vestal leaf]

Those are very much weaker tho

[cunning swan]

Two things solgaleo provides?

[vestal leaf]

^

[sly breach]

Dena always cheese steel week stages with earthquake users

[vestal leaf]

She lacks guaranteed crit on both max moves and cc/iron head + no type sync

[tardy fiber]

Currently i use solgaleo more than my 3/5 Gloria, it will change after Hop EX...cmon Hop and thanks DeNa

Support sync go brrr

[vestal leaf]

4/5 Gloria is bonkers, so happy I candied her tbh

[tardy fiber]

Its probably need a long time for me to 4/5 Gloria...i might just hopium that she gets power boost, just like Cynthia

Or lance

Well because can activate all power boost grid if 3/5

[oak crest]

The next mass survey imma ask Dena where are new spotlights and variety banner suck

[tardy fiber]

I will follow you

I wonder if they limit it to like 5 new spotlights per anniv or something...so there's looker, shauna, and i forgot what other pairs that haven't added to spotlight

[oak crest]

It's disturbing that spotlight completely stopped after variety came out

[tardy fiber]

Oh gordie, melony

Colress also i think

Hugh too

Oh theres already 6 pairs

[oak crest]

Think if there is no support unit release on anni I might start to candy cRed

Man has been stuck at 1/5 for ages

Altho I didn't use him much

[tardy fiber]

Same, mine also 1/5...still carry my villa runs though

[oak crest]

My ssmorty and sburgh are alrd 3/5 so I pretty much have nth left for support besides red and ssblue

(ssblue is even worse, I hardly ever used him)

[tardy fiber]

I still have a lot...ssmina 2/5, ssacerola 1/5, and future 2 bp master pairs on anniv

Well i only gonna 3/5 one using candies though...as i will have enough time to 3/5 the other via rainbow tickets before 2024 anniv

So probably chatelaine will get the candies

[oak crest]

If the new BP units are meh I'm gonna make mesprit 3/5 with dupes first... Currently 2/5

[tardy fiber]

Oh Mesprit 3/5 is kinda nice, the extra def buff with every wall is a nice touch also you can max spatk or confusion team fast track instead

[oak crest]

Ye

[tardy fiber]

I already 3/5 all and i think evelyn, nita, regirock doesn't benefit much...evelyn and regirock just got more survivability with first aid and nita just get more MGR if you spam bulldoze

But cobalion rock smash on a ripple is nice

Well at least Evelyn got stalwart and unbending so her def buffs will last till she died

[oak crest]

If we getting a free fair select next month I might just pick the 1 that unlocks lodge if there is any in the selection that Im lacking for lodge

Idt I need to really pick it based on if the unit is gonna add value since I so far never really leveled up the free unit they gave on such occasion to test it out

[tardy fiber]

Same, i hope it happens...i want lodge steven

Cradily could help me for special rock coverage

Well also because i think other unreleased rock faves looks kinda physical...well there's terrakion and stakataka

[ashen thunder]

||Gratz on jirachi vantner
How much gems?||

👀

[tardy fiber]

Oh nihilego might be special, but i hope its poison than rock

[oak crest]

If it's a decent poison imma go for it

I still don't really have a fantastic poison char

Skipped ssgio as well

[tardy fiber]

||1 multi but then i want 2/5 so i spend tiered till 25% ticket and got another one||

[ashen thunder]

Neat

[lean mango]

If it's rock I will cry

[oak crest]

Not going for that woman on galar VA cos don't really like her

[ashen thunder]

Nihilego main type is rock iirc

[lean mango]

I need my Danger Glass to be Poison

[ashen thunder]

But then

We got celesteela for both types

[lean mango]

it can still be Poison

[tardy fiber]

Im happy with galar VA pairs, well first half are pairs that i would skip...so better that i only have half faves than a VA full of faves like Unova VA or Johto VA

Oh hoenn VA too

[ashen thunder]

Second half galar VA is likely protag alts

[tardy fiber]

Protags with regis

[ashen thunder]

Kinda expecting some more gen pool galar stuff

[lean mango]

Victor alt less goo??

[tardy fiber]

Well their weaknesses in final weak cs

[ashen thunder]

There's fire, electric and dragon for notable weaknesses

For cinderace, regileki and regidrago

So one of those is very high possibility

[tardy fiber]

Well iirc cobalion late july mission are galar, gym leader, fire so we might get kabu centiskorch

[ashen thunder]

Hmmm I doubt centiskorch before cinderace

[tardy fiber]

Im happy that ||the twins have gym leader tag, finally gym leader faves after ssmorty...its been a looong time||

I can do faves run for legendary arena mission

[lean mango]

[tardy fiber]

Good enough, ssmorty also can give +2 atk and spatk so can accommodate those two

[crisp wraith]

How many gems left from today on?

26,440?

[upbeat lotus]

22240

[topaz compass]

New Twitter rally please

[deft glen]

54k!

currently saving

|| Glojo, be nice, I wanna go back to saving ||

If Galar VA Part 2 has no Gloria or Marnie I'd be safe for Anni

[crisp wraith]

So if I spent all gems today, then saved till end of anni month, I would probably have two pities right

[tardy fiber]

Probably more

As anniv month is kinda September so you saving till end of it

August probably fat with gems as well as its run up to anniv

And we just entering July

[grim plover]

i did my calcs and if i have to pity one unit of the next datamine i could still have one pity before anni

(but i hope no favs next datamine)

[crisp wraith]

Appreciate it vantner

[cunning swan]

175k! ||I dropped below 200k, feels kinda weird. I'm going for summer N next month|| but at least I'm certain I can enter August with at least 4 pities

August scares me, there might be a lot of baits

[sturdy flower]

what do you mean 500 strength, that's probably strength for 500 points

as in, it's probably not the same as CSMM strength

well water aside, there are types where I'd get completely destroyed trying to even do base rewards

like rock where I have 0 pokefair+ units

Note: In this event, you can select any battles to reset in order to give test another team

so we dont have to do all 5 like in csmm, we can reset any particular battle?

if they dont resist flinch i know what im doing tho

[sturdy flower]

ah, i read the doc

kind of unfortunate for them to call it the same as on csmm

where strength 1 is 10% stat increase

this one is flat bonus

[tardy fiber]

Well they did say five times or more

[sturdy flower]

i dont get one thing tho, why does it say +70k hp

but the example has 32172 hp

although the def IS insane

[tardy fiber]

The swimmer dewgong is side

[sturdy flower]

ah

[tardy fiber]

That probably hp on mid boss

[sturdy flower]

SS Lysandre can probably one shoot

cant think of any other unit tho

[tardy fiber]

Well if you gonna use a bunch of water pairs, can just pick easier difficulty

[sturdy flower]

no, i will try to rank without SS Lysandre and fail miserably

i have been waiting for this type of content

[tardy fiber]

3 water pairs in a team will give 3.0 points multiplier

[sturdy flower]

now give us a more casual coop raids to do with friends and im happy

[tardy fiber]

So easier to reach 180k points to get all rewards

[sturdy flower]

but there are bonus rewards every 5k right

and this is way less time intensive compared to LG

[tardy fiber]

Yep 1 PU

[sturdy flower]

1 Pu ticket you mean?

[tardy fiber]

Iirc its this, and not this

[sturdy flower]

that would be a good incentive

[topaz compass]

I was under impression it was the second worse one

[sturdy flower]

it says "ticket" in the doc

the other one is just called this

what is a power up ticket

[cunning swan]

"ticket" should refer to

[cunning swan]

As far as I know

[tardy fiber]

Oh so not worth that much

[cunning swan]

is just called 5* Power Up

[tardy fiber]

I just gonna aim 180k

[sturdy flower]

i will see how much people do and then decide how far I aim, my issue is damage dealers in water rather than supports

but the attack enemies on +10000 have is disgusting

if you go all attack + strength on csmm you only reach 5k

and that gets you one shoot

[topaz compass]

Wait are those exchangeable tickets the ones where a 5* ticket is equivalent to 20 at first tier. Then 25, etc? Because some calcs seemed.to think 70k+ per battle can be done. 350k is 170k extra which would be 34 of them, which is less than 2x 5* tickets

[sturdy flower]

"can be done with best ever units"?

[tardy fiber]

Just gonna use this and hope its enough for 180k points

[topaz compass]

It would be pretty dumb if only whales could achieve 350k+ and only get 2x 5* tickets extra lmao

[sturdy flower]

gonna be straight, would be skill issue if it wasn't

[tardy fiber]

Might change some of my lineup if i got shiny squirtle eggmon before the event

More main characters, more bonus point

[topaz compass]

That is basically my options if I pull both volcanion and urshifu on the split banner

[tardy fiber]

Each main character gives 1k point

[topaz compass]

Except I don't have eusine

[tardy fiber]

Iirc confusion also give point but not sure if i have any water pair that give confusion

Using non water pair will reduce point multiplier

[sturdy flower]

what are the other multipliers?

[topaz compass]

There is a f2p water with water pulse

[tardy fiber]

https://pastebin.com/u/Absol-utely/1/5cGi4TkS

[sturdy flower]

you have that in your team...

[tardy fiber]

I think it means confusion move like the one sshilda have

The psychic move

[sturdy flower]

it means the status condition

[topaz compass]

Sievold and clawitzer 20% plus aggravation 1

Floatzel has 20% plus 2x aggravation 1

[tardy fiber]

Oh confusion status, so siebold

[topaz compass]

Ssb has 20% water pulse, don't think any aggravation

[sturdy flower]

you only need to hit it once

[topaz compass]

Oh then build the first 2 as nukes instead of aggravation

[tardy fiber]

Well i think its already enough without using confusion as im using 15 water pairs, well those that doesn't use all 15 might need it though

[topaz compass]

The 2 f2p units are kind of trash for off-type since enemies aren't water weak right? So better to just skip it outside of SSB

[tardy fiber]

As 180k points means each team needs to get 36k points, but i have 3.0 multiplier due to 3 water pairs in each team so i only need to get 12k points

[sturdy flower]

wait, just noticed, enemies arent water weak?

🤣

whats even the point of this event

[topaz compass]

Water vs water

[sturdy flower]

that's so stupid

why do they even create super effective units then

[tardy fiber]

Well people did ask for harder content so this is just desserts

Thats why i dont use lodge may

She's really SE related

[sturdy flower]

Kris got shafted like this

this is too geared towards the 2-3 specific units

[topaz compass]

She has haymaker and inertia, just loses Super-powered 5

[cunning swan]

Lmfao

[tardy fiber]

Thats why i use her with hilbert and dojogloria

[vestal leaf]

Exactly

Kris will still nuke

Especially with rain

[sturdy flower]

i will have to run the math if broken ontype striker and 2 water wont be better in some cases

altho the sides will be annoying with 15k left each

Passive 1: Resilience

thanks DeNa

[tardy fiber]

Just don't use striker against marlon

[vestal leaf]

What does Marlon have

[sturdy flower]

a cs-style passive that reduces striker stats by 90%

[vestal leaf]

Lole

[tardy fiber]

And need use physical damage on archie

[vestal leaf]

Yeah this event sounds fun

[sturdy flower]

lets see if someone without DGloria and Lysandre even shows up in the toplist

[cunning swan]

But why, dena?

[vestal leaf]

2 waters + 1 broken strikers will most likely be the easy way to get max points

Which means it should be f2pable

[vestal leaf]

people cry content is free

Make slightly harder content

"Why"

[sturdy flower]

the sides arent same weakness as middle though

and have half of their hp

[vestal leaf]

Yeah I know

[sturdy flower]

is there a dark weak

Weakness: Bug Grass Fairy

what does this order mean

middle is grass?

[vestal leaf]

Think so

[cunning swan]

Oh i'm not questioning the "slightly harder content". I want to know the reasoning behind the... Unique stage design

[sturdy flower]

so grass, electric, electric, ground, fighting

[cunning swan]

Boosting water pairs while not being water weak feels quite counterintuitive when pokemon players are very used to the concept of super effective damage

[vestal leaf]

I mean I personally think halved sync is by far the most bullshit condition DeNa forces in the harder content

[sturdy flower]

do they have any resistances to stat reduction like csmm

the page has nothing, but iirc there was a default one right?

[vestal leaf]

Tbh I never understood this attachment to SE clears in every scenario because we're filled with units that can f2p offtype clear csmm

[sturdy flower]

no, im just saying they waste space on units to introduce SE crap

and then keep making it obsolete

because CS is too easy to need it

[vestal leaf]

Fucking

Pryce could ofttype 2.5k csmm before Irida and before we had the free point conditions

[cunning swan]

CSMM seems to favor ontype clears with the new params. This seems like the opposite of it

[vestal leaf]

[sturdy flower]

show me that 2.5k csmm Pryce solo clear

[vestal leaf]

Yes and no, it surely helped, but it also opened up more strats for ofttype imo

[tardy fiber]

Im lucky that its water type, if its a type like dragon...i only have 12 dragon pairs...so i will lose some multipliers

Poison, only 9 iirc

[vestal leaf]

As long as you have 10 you'll be fine

[tardy fiber]

I guess need to topup with eggmons, theres a bunch of poison eggmons...also main character pairs give bonus points

[sturdy flower]

fairy will be hell

[vestal leaf]

2x +1 carry is better than forcing 3x

[sturdy flower]

thankfully these arent coming anytime soon

[topaz compass]

They won't be doing poison anytime soon

Yeah the next 3 will be like grass, fire, psychic

[sturdy flower]

what annoys me is that free units get on type upgrades

but then they make them obsolete like lodge Steven

or lodge Lillie

Steven is top tier tech nuker on type

[vestal leaf]

Lodge Steven is underrated tbh

[sturdy flower]

then again, not requiring that many on type nukers might actually be favorable

[vestal leaf]

Debuffs + flinch

Is really good

It's the reason I think lodge Irida will be fun as hell

To put in clears

HE4 + aggravation 4

[tardy fiber]

Kinda good if they ever do type with lacking pairs...like ground or something, just use 2 ground and an OP offtype pair, not like enemies weakness are ground anyway

[cunning swan]

Quite like volkner eh

[vestal leaf]

Yeah, but it's free

It's also Irida

[cunning swan]

Free? Sure, if you get the master fair 😭

[tardy fiber]

I kinda want lodge steven, just want a special rock damage dealer that aint cblue

I will pick steven if there's free pokefair select again

[cunning swan]

Cblue does DPS, lodge steven nukes. They're already quite different in that regard

[vestal leaf]

Yeah like 1/2 of lodge units at this point

Either fair or master fair

[tough oriole]

Just hope that terapagos is a special rock ig

[sturdy flower]

man, but strength gives way more than the 3k points for time

[vestal leaf]

Any other time tier?

[tardy fiber]

Just cblue wont ever be lodge unit so i dont want to waste gems getting it...the lodge unit is bluegeot

[sturdy flower]

Less Than or Equals 01:40 Minute = 100 Second
Reward 2400 pts and then 900 for 300 seconds, the rest is whatever

[tardy fiber]

Buffing stats also give points

Also number of attacks iirc

[vestal leaf]

2400 for 100 seconds seem plausible

[sturdy flower]

these should scale with on type units

so x1 x2 x3

[ashen thunder]

I can't run 5 monowater teams
Not enuff supports

[tardy fiber]

I just need to score 12k points on each team

[sturdy flower]

if your stats get lowered raising them again counts as stat increase again

[ashen thunder]

Does running 3 water type in 1 team give more points than 2?

[sturdy flower]

raise stats 135 times for max pts

[sturdy flower]

yes

[ashen thunder]

OOF

Why must my good rain setting supports not be water type

[topaz compass]

Yeah 2 on type support for offtype broken unit lol

[tardy fiber]

Use eggmon

[ashen thunder]

Ew

No

[tardy fiber]

Gyarados, blastoise

Main character gives extra points

[ashen thunder]

Oh

Then I'll try to slot em

[sturdy flower]

More than or Equals to 50 hits Reward 3000 pts (MAX)

this is actually doable somewhat

[vestal leaf]

Tech gyara definitely MVP for 3 water clears

[ashen thunder]

Wait main character means
Does that include all protags or just Bettie?

[sturdy flower]

it gonna turn into pot mpr fest tho

[tardy fiber]

All that have main character tags

[cunning swan]

Main character theme skill, I assume

[ashen thunder]

Cool

Then I can make teams
I think

[vestal leaf]

Do all stages get resilience?

[sturdy flower]

yes

and stop poison, trap, burn almost completely

res 10

[vestal leaf]

Zzzzz

[ashen thunder]

I also have to look into all water type eggmon supports now

[topaz compass]

Wait how many different things do we get points for? If you get up to 3k in like 5 different categories besides the base difficulty points, sounds really easy to hit 12k x3 multiplier

[tardy fiber]

Cannot do that against Lana

[vestal leaf]

12k is easy to hit, but you still gotta clear with 15 water types

[sturdy flower]

i wouldn't say really easy, the buff one is bullshit

[ashen thunder]

Just throw in a Hilbert team for that

[vestal leaf]

Also

[sturdy flower]

and number of attacks and time directly contradict each other

[topaz compass]

I might EX AdaVape for this event, supports all need it eventually anyway

[tardy fiber]

Nah he's for archie

[sturdy flower]

it really seems to boil down to

put as much strength as you can for top score ignoring other conditions

[ashen thunder]

I mean

Use Nessa in 1 team

Kris in another

Hilbert can support one of em vs Lana

[tardy fiber]

And fight 10k atk/spatk sides?

[sturdy flower]

yes

[tardy fiber]

[topaz compass]

Samurott probably good for mega Sharpedo to avoid damaging itself with TM

Unless mega sharpedo isn't making a 5 team cut

[sturdy flower]

honestly depends, he can do 3x csmm stats probably

but then you might be able to do 18k points ontype instead of 10k points offtype

misty is nasty because Blizzard if you up the diff too much

and hostile environment on blizzard which is zzz reset fest

[ashen thunder]

Well 1 minute condition gonna be hardest to cover

With mono water

Unless you throw in best units in like 2 teams

[sturdy flower]

yeah, which isnt worth it

[ashen thunder]

And then go past 1:40 on other 3 teams

[sturdy flower]

you might as well just get the points for attacks instead

[ashen thunder]

Does atk points have a cap?

[sturdy flower]

all conditions have the same cap

50 attacks = 3k

sync doesnt count

aoe counts as 3 hits

[ashen thunder]

Eh even half of it is hard

[vestal leaf]

Can we need to restart from scratch after any stage or do we have to complete 5 every time

[ashen thunder]

Just stop midway

[sturdy flower]

the description on pastebin is ambiguous, gotta wait

[vestal leaf]

[sturdy flower]

In this event, you can select any battles to reset in order to give test another team The ranking feature will be unlocked when you complete all battles

implies you can

would be nice if we could reset one by one, very nice...

and then always when 5 battles are complete at once it updates the ranking if your score was better

that's how i'd love to see it on LG in fact

please remake LG to be like that...

[hard wave]

I think most types arent doable for most

Like for me I prob can do water, maybe psychic depending on my supports I have to check

[sturdy flower]

i would probably enjoy psychic

thats the only type where i could attempt a max on type clear

although tank might be an issue

[hard wave]

Grass and fire I could attempt ig, but I only used 1 grass type for the special CS

[sturdy flower]

i want to try winning at max strength once before completing with all teams

[hard wave]

For me I have cbede, sabrina, liza could work ig, bianca can kind of tank, and I want ss dawn so if I can get her she could be my 5th one

[sturdy flower]

which is unlikely on water, i dont even have a 2nd broken dps

Bianca wont tank 10k atk

you need someone like SS Morty or SSA Cynthia

or they start introducing defensive rebuff chars soon

these will be quite strong

[hard wave]

I was thinking of using ss steven with her to nuke it fast, but idk

Ig we just have to see how hard it is

Maybe we get a stat boost ourselves?

[sturdy flower]

remember it would be offtype so Steven would nuke only like 40k

out of 75k

hell, probably less if you dont debuff spdef

[sturdy flower]

doesn't say anywhere, but i guess we will just see

its not like we are meant to hit the maximum points anyways

180k is the sweet spot, anything else is like lg 4fun

but lg seems easier

more time consuming but easier

way easier

[hard wave]

Oh yeah I dont plan to do above 180k, tho I kind of want to fix my count

Since it ends in 1/6 atm

[vestal leaf]

Too bad you're then down to 1 water, which most likely means you ain't doing better than 2/3 of that strenght with 2 waters

[sturdy flower]

i was talkling about a hypothetical unreleased unit

to actually challenge the max strength with

[hard wave]

Maybe im not setting him up right, usually I just get between 30-40k in CS

I have him 3/5 and use him with anni may, he still destroys first sync but I havent tried to go higher with him

[vestal leaf]

30-40k second sync ontype ig?

[hard wave]

First sync

[vestal leaf]

I haven't actually had him sync

In ages

Because he kills stage before then usually

[hard wave]

Or maybe sometimes ive done it with a support first, im not sure

[topaz compass]

You referenced 10k enemy attack, I thought worst was x5 stats. Is there a 2nd enemy stat modifier

[vestal leaf]

Nope

It's just constant increase

[sturdy flower]

they just dont know what 5x is

[tawny dagger]

You can't offtype btw

You need to have 1 ontype unit otherwise 0x multiplier

[sturdy flower]

2 ontype that do no damage + 1 offtype

i have little to no water dps units for double strike anyways

[tawny dagger]

Yeah i am just saying there needs to be 1 ontype

Whether it's a support or just a sitting duck

Doesn't matter

[viscid flare]

Officically retiring, game is not fun anymore, bye!

[violet nebula]

But Dracovish might be coming😮

[lean mango]

my man is already gone

[violet nebula]

😞

[topaz compass]

@cristobal0073 is he

[tardy fiber]

Not sure why people are gone, i think june and july content is kind of good, well better than some months before.

[topaz compass]

As a day 1 I am burnt out and tempted to spend on units a year ago I would be easy skipping

But sunk cost fallacy means I'm probably here until EOS

[tardy fiber]

Oh right, does the new water game mode tempt you to pull on water banners?

[vernal glade]

Not for me. I don’t care if I can’t get all the rewards.

[grim plover]

i wanna get all the rewards but since last year i stopped pulling for non favs

[tardy fiber]

I guess i will be the same, but man...i just noticed that i only have 9 poison pairs. Hope they rerun jessie and james

I will be in trouble if its poison game mode

[vernal glade]

What I’m after is faves which is why I’m saving strong.

[tardy fiber]

But i kinda excited as well, after im done getting 180k points...i will try to do it again with only 10 water pairs, to simulate typings that i only have 10 or less pairs like poison and ground

[topaz compass]

I'm confident I won't need volcanion or urshifu to get 180k points

If I EX sharpedo, lodge vaporeon, I should be looking pretty good (plus 4star rain eggmon)

[sand crown]

here here. this was my first (and last!) gacha

[feral vale]

~~EX Barry ~~

[topaz compass]

You know I kind of want to

He is actually a better investment than sharpedo for off type

[lost bobcat]

Ye, in few months we got alola and galar VAs, new LA stage, new gamemode, hishui units
Sure getting 6 limited units/month it's not funny but we have enough stuff and all it require is dealing with fomo and daily clears

Also anni is really close, I would rather be patient

[wind coyote]

U joined after 3rd anni? Shoot

[crisp oracle]

No, I just didn't have enough gems for Ash and the like at the time

[wind coyote]

Oh

Back in those days i used to have so many gems

Easily pitied ash and sst red

Got ssa cynthia in 6k gems

That was when i began my downward spiral

Now im on barely 4k gems

I couldnt get the frogs or any of the VA pairs because my handling of gems was awful

Now im getting back on track

[crisp oracle]

Well, gotta keep a favorites list

And you have to avoid the scout screen like the plague

[wind coyote]

Yes

Preach

[maiden kayak]

write on a piece of paper

like physical list

[rotund monolith]

remember the daily scout mission is an op to get you to the scout screen. you have to do it, of course, but do remember that!

theres a few ways this app tries to trick you into spending money and once you notice it, it becomes easier to avoid

[crisp oracle]

updated favorites page

[tardy fiber]

I also need steven for lodge

I gonna ignore adaman and Irida existence as i wont ever pull a non fave MF

[hard wave]

Well, its 4 per month

When we get variety, 6

so basically 4 a month

[rotund monolith]

if colress got a variety scout i would kill someone. ive said that before but it bears repeating

||i will probably pull anyway if he does but i wont be happy about it||

its such a transparant way of cutting costs

does anyone know how much they make anyway

[tardy fiber]

Ss Colress with shiny Genesect please

Give him a cool red suit as well

[vernal glade]

||I currently have 3 faves on my list, being Summer Hilda SS Hilda and SS Hilbert, Summer Hilda reruns next Thursday which I’m pulling, this’ll leave only SS Hilda and SS Hilbert left. Once those last two are pulled, I’m waiting for N Hilbert or Hilda next alt as I already gotten all of N alts.||

[tardy fiber]

Goodluck all, maybe i will also chase reruns when Paldea arrives

As i gonna collect their legendaries+paradoxes

So around 18 paradoxes and 9 legendaries

[maiden kayak]

dont put things like lodge units

its waste of space

only put units that u intended to “pull”

[crisp oracle]

hmm

good idea actually

[tardy fiber]

Lodge pair is in a unique situation for me, not gonna pull em from banners and only get them via select
Also if there is any of my faves that haven't yet 3/5 in the select, i will prioritize them first before new lodge guest

[rotund monolith]

COLRESS SHINY GENESECT!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!

[signal halo]

Is it possible to achieve 36.6k until July 10, being at 30.2k right now?

[flat schooner]

From today until <t:1688968801:d> you can get up to 10050 .
For more information check /events and /banners!

[feral vale]

Don’t forget that exists

Plus isn’t the Hisui rally 3k coming out soon?

Oh wait it’s already out

[tardy fiber]

New month reset today, i can form my 20 lets gooo

Gonna 5* Clair

As she got EX this month

[feral vale]

I almost forgot to check the monthly exchange this time around

[signal halo]

I've exchanged everything

Also, had a good ice run on this special csmm

So I feel pretty safe about the ice type rn

[chrome nest]

The special cs is fun to plan around

It made me use my brain

[signal halo]

It made me spend a bazillion resources

Since my ice roster is as limited as it gets

Well, almost, since I got irida

[tardy fiber]

Now we wait for water highscore mode

[signal halo]

Water would need to be hell

In order to push any roster

[tardy fiber]

Its easier than poison or ground, i at least can do 15 water pairs

[signal halo]

I actively avoid water banners and even then I feel overprepared

I'd hate ground

Though I might have enough carries, even if barely

Mudsdale, garchomp, hippowdon, camerupt and uh Sandslash?

Poison however would be even stranger to play around

I do fear flying the most, however

I barely tolerate staraptor, to the point I've even done swanna over it

Love the mon, but recoil in this game feels much worse to play around

[tardy fiber]

Poison at least has many eggmons, but ground...i think there's only marowak

Nidoking, nidoqueen, arbok, weezing, muk all poison

[signal halo]

For now, I think that flying is my worst type

Used to be ice

Ice only having ghetsis to really show up

I still feel like even if ghetsis can't all out nuke right away (easily) like meta pairs

He feels really clutch

[lean mango]

And I only have 1 shiny out of them

[winged fossil]

basically my weaknesses in a nutshell

in terms of future hi-score events

[lean mango]

I'm stacked in poison

Poison stans win lfg

[winged fossil]

i literally only have 5 ground units and like 6 poison units

id be screwed in those two

[lean mango]

I do hope Poison CS happens

Before that I wish we get another Poison support

[winged fossil]

also this. (spoilering b/c banner related)
seriously wish i had more gems rn than i have

[lean mango]

I need 2 more for a support for all 5 battles

[signal halo]

I'm torn

I found myself enjoying the idea of collecting lodge pairs and adaman is the one pair standing between me and a full collection

[winged fossil]

master fairs being lodge pairs was evil xD

[signal halo]

If there was a guarantee they'd join the lodge banners

I wouldn't mind

[winged fossil]

i dont think they will, because of being masters

[signal halo]

I'm also still lacking on flying pairs and, to a lesser extent, ghost

So it's between collecting adaman and keeping my roster full

Or saving for the next big flying pair

[tardy fiber]

I only have 2... Nidoking amd arbok

[tardy fiber]

Glad to see someone that wants ssN, people keep bashing him just because he only attacks once in 2 turns

[winged fossil]

its mainly because its n, which is one of the three i simp for

dont care what kit he has, ill grab the unit one day or another

[tardy fiber]

Nice, spoken like its a true fave

[winged fossil]

i wish the 6th could come sooner so i can see sooner if ill have spare gem or not for kyurem

[winged fossil]

3rd (technically 4th including yellow) strike candy was today, nice.

also at 42.6k gem so far

[tardy fiber]

I can form 1 strike and 1 tech candy this month...i need more strikes than techs

[winged fossil]

me waiting for new pairs or reruns when i can afford them:
pretty nice that ive gotten the list this short already

[tardy fiber]

Wow you missed all NPC pairs?

[winged fossil]

yeah they came out while i was on hiatus

[tardy fiber]

Kali and Naomi are nice

Kali due to not many kalos supports while naomi can deal good special ground damage

[winged fossil]

if im lucky, i can knock off 2-3 of the pairs this month (2 if early zoroark or late zoroark, 3 if both zoroark and inteleon early), but im only expecting knocking 1 off this list

[tardy fiber]

Oh nice you got more than 1 fave in super seasonal scout, that does make the banner more bearable

[winged fossil]

yeah. the only real issue with it is ive got 2 in it that i already own LOL
slyra dupes will just feel like a kick in the nuts

atleast summ steven i have found use for so i wont mind the unwanted dupes for him

summ marnie prob wouldnt be unbearable too bc im willing to have another unit for physical fairy than just gloria, but im primarily focused on summer gloria and summer n for that banner.

[tardy fiber]

SmLyra, Cheren and Marshal iirc have a kit that's related to having bad status on self

[winged fossil]

so ive got about half the banner id accept with relative ease into my box

[winged fossil]

doesnt og iris have such a kit too, and shauntal i think

specifically iirc iris wants confusion to stay, and shauntal literally burns herself

[tardy fiber]

Hope smLyra can self sleep

[signal halo]

I hope shauntal gets a grid expansion one day

So she can synchronize her burns on enemies and perhaps get a sync buff on burned targets

[chrome nest]

Is it bad that I’m lazy to do lodge?

[tardy fiber]

At least do 1 interaction to clear daily mission for 80 gems

I keep doing lodge because i want to make all of my faves 150

Once i got a healthy amount of certificates leftover, i can start to level 140 non faves

[winged fossil]

dont know about a way for smLyra to self sleep, would have to be a grid expansion someday i think. and even then it sleeping doesnt seem super useful since i dont see any multipliers related to it, just a tm interaction

[hard wave]

You could just buy the extra 3 and use all at once

There’s a mission for 3k interactions anyway

[tardy fiber]

Yep but he's lazy, he probably doesn't even want to press

[hard wave]

[oak crest]

ngl, if there wasnt a daily on interaction

i wouldnt have bothered

once all my attainable pairs are at lv 100 friendship there is v little reason

[vestal leaf]

I'm at level 1800 with Rosa, definitely feels worth to me

[hard wave]

I still have 2 pairs I want to 150, but I can just finish irida and have that

[oak crest]

i only really 150 those that i feel like it

since i have no faves

[dire meteor]

Still worth it though.

Every 1k interaction awards you 1k gems.

[tardy fiber]

True

[hard wave]

Actually I have 700 lodge stones so im even closer

[hard wave]

Yeah, tho after that its just getting certificates (which luckily it seems like they’ll be available thru other means), lvl 100 for every new lodge unit, and 1k for the ones u like if u want to

[tardy fiber]

Almost there

[hard wave]

Tho I guess u still need it for the daily

[lost bobcat]

Well the last update pattern of limited units is 6, 4, 6, 6

[chrome nest]

I got raihan to level 100 interaction

And I am lazy to do the rest

I don’t even know which should I do

[cunning swan]

Only Raihan?

[chrome nest]

Yes

[cunning swan]

I'd go with Blue next then

If you have no other faves

[chrome nest]

I guess master fairs like irida and adaman for the lodge aren’t gonna be perma banners

[cunning swan]

Nope

[chrome nest]

Slight painful blow

||Alright I’ll keep this short and sweet so basically I got a little too prideful and arrogant and you can guess on where this is going||

||I know it’s stupid I don’t want to cause a ton of drama in here but I will not be this prideful and arrogant to the point where I’m mining scraps from old events||

[oak crest]

Dena basically broke their own promise of no MF pairs will be added to lodge, which is quite worrying

[compact pasture]

They promised?

[cunning swan]

I've heard of it but I can't find the actual source myself

[chrome nest]

It’s gacha companies whatca expect

[hard wave]

What months?

[grim plover]

technically they said it in an interview, but not in a dev letter

[hard wave]

February-june?

[chrome nest]

Master fairs, poke fairs all of that doesn’t matter in the long haul

What matters is when you have fun using the units that you want and patience

[oak crest]

luckily both of the lodge pairs from those 2 MFs isnt really fantastic

so not really missing out besides the regular list of rewards for getting their friendship lv to 100

[coarse lynx]

15k gems and saving

🫡

[cunning swan]

[vernal glade]

217k, 2k to go till the next pity.

[cunning swan]

175k, I want to hit 5 pities before ||pulling for Summer rerun at least||

[vernal glade]

||The next pity won’t last for long as Summer Hilda just around the corner, I’m just lucky I don’t have to pull Zoroark since I gotten him on the last day before he left.||

[upbeat lotus]

13k gems now, i should be ready when Galar VA part 2 and anni come

[lean mango]

You got this

[hard wave]

Starting to save again, 805 gems || hoping next month is a skip or has zerena and nothing else I want ||

[grim plover]

guys im scared of next month

[vestal leaf]

||what dried you up||?

[grim plover]

it's likely there's gonna be leon, victor alt and paulo with hoopa unbound

[vestal leaf]

Doubt Paulo is gonna drop right away tbfh

[deft glen]

I am as well. Possibility of Gloria alt

[hard wave]

|| irida (36.6k), ss morty (18k), eusine (12k) tho im happy I got them so its fine ||

[deft glen]

And I hope if there's a Sonia it's with a pokémon/outfit that I dislike so I can skip

[grim plover]

its highly possible. End of VAs and the date before anni where Lear was released

[vestal leaf]

||That's good tbh, you got spared considering you could've went to pity on any of the fair duo||

[grim plover]

i think gloria it's gonna be the anni unit

[vestal leaf]

Lear story ended before then tho

[deft glen]

I'd like that, I want to be safe for what's coming at Anni, cuz I usually like popular characters

[vestal leaf]

Gloria anni? Weird after a VA on her region

[hard wave]

The anni will prob have a unova kanto and alola unit

[vestal leaf]

Especially after galar was also 3.5

[deft glen]

there's also that

[hard wave]

Due to those regions not having their master passives filled yet (unova spirit + pride for all)

[vestal leaf]

Seems very fickle as a possibility

[deft glen]

Rosa alt

[vestal leaf]

Yeah unova feels extremely likely

[grim plover]

Blue MF for kanto

[deft glen]

finally a Nate alt?

[hard wave]

Plus kanto hasnt gotten anything except varieties, and unova only got palesa

Alola got quite a few units already (6 I think) but they got like 4 units total last year so

[deft glen]

no Lillie this year

[grim plover]

not scientifically possible

i think there's gonna be another alola event

there's no way they're not giving lillie and gladion alts

[vestal leaf]

Leon alt is almost guaranteed

Imho

For either Anni or part 2

[hard wave]

Could just rerun ss leon too

[upbeat lotus]

Sonia alt is very likely possible

Either VA or anni

[deft glen]

Yeah

[lean mango]

gem count, recovery arc pt.3

[hard wave]

What if next month we get Eucose and Eutane with shiny raikous and entei

[lean mango]

Eucose?? Eutane??

[hard wave]

euSINe euCOSe euTANe

[lean mango]

Twhb

Yrh😭

Uh yeah my gem count won't do well but unless they are targeting me specifically I don't expect a Eusine akt to happen soon

[drowsy dagger]

So far, I got 1600 gems right now

I'm still not giving up on Adaman and I'm only about 22 pulls away from a pity pull

[ancient ermine]

Next month is scary

[drowsy dagger]

Anniversary, I know. Once the banners are over, I'm going to focus my energy on saving more gems

[hard wave]

August isnt anni

[lean mango]

Technically it is

August 27th

[ancient ermine]

I technically could grind out co-op story and co-op story hard mode…

[drowsy dagger]

I haven't tried that for a while.

[rustic heron]

i would recommend Not posting screenshots of paid gem deals in the thread for saving gems

[vernal glade]

Ya.

[warm scarab]

Noted

[summer goblet]

one thing i don't like about Variety scout

no new outfit with pretty crap rate

and the kit isn't even that powerful

[mossy hawk]

That is the main complaint about them

[summer goblet]

I want a Kiawe alt but not like that

lol

[mossy hawk]

No effort behind those
