#Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

No real reason for him to even be variety, he is a more limited pokefair in practice
and maybe Lance for being slightly better than his og version
I mean, the limited part is trying to get into peoples fomo
That’s why we don’t have spotlights anymore
we killed it
Most kits r good tho, even the ones that are kind of bad arent terrible
Like SS N and Anni Steven were called bad iirc, but they can still do good dps I assume
SSN kit is one of my favourite but they're not variety
At least he gets multipliers and sync cd for it
PMUN (2 at 4/5 iirc) is big on such a huge BP move
Ik, I meant good kit isnt a selling point since everything has one even if they arent great
It’d have to be smth unique ig, like sc steven
I still think 1/5 ssn is probably one of my favourite toys to play with in csmm, to each their own
I rarely regret scouting units because there's really few boring kits in poma
Remember dailies seem nothing but end up being thousands of gems at end of every year
if you being tactical and selective, it helps save my f2p gems and get units i want
anyway, i intend to reach the 500k gem mark in the next year or so when i cut down on pulling unit i need/want
I personally enjoyed giving him 2/5 just to make sure he was 100% self reliant
He will sometimes miss though, need 2/5 to get the pinpoint entry 
^^ my man
🤝
Always on the same wavelength Vantner XD
But yea I think SSN is criminally underappreciated. I personally love how well him and ghetsis play together. Ghetsis cleaves and SSN just melts on target. The fact that they don't fight for gauge is just gravy
Haha because its painful when it happened to me last time that ||i pull for dupes to 2/5 him
on that same day||
Oh yeah ss n has FMN whenever he uses his b move or smth right?
Also gets pmun
And sync move countdown reduction
But i admit, it is pretty hard to sync with ssN while also using freeze shock and the like...so that's why i always pair him with another damage dealer, so that he wont need to sync
He is free gauge anyway if you keep using bnoble roar
Also i 150 him, not just due to he is a fave...but because he hit only once in 3 turns if i use b noble roar, so any extra damage that i can dish in that same timeframe is nice
Yeah having to switch between b move and freeze shock which is also 2 turns is a bit hard to use
Thats like once a sync cycle if that
Thats why i dont sync with him, even harder if you need to do sync too...if not, can just freeze shock > freeze shock > b noble roar and repeat, already zero gauge starting here
tbh
dupes are a luxury i can no longer afford
candies are far more plentiful than gems these days
with the flood and relentless onslaught of limited units
gem zenning is even more important
I cannot even begin to fathom the excrutiating struggles that await us going into august
Yep if you got a lot of candies can use it
Fall also might be dangerous to me, DeNa already doesn't feel shy to add more of my faves as festive seasonals
Before this its only 1 seasonal a year, hleon then FIris...but this month, boom got 2 for summer
The last 4 month/updates
V 2.34 July (current), V2.33 , V2.32, V2.31
And june, the only month without varieties of the 4, doesnt have 6 limiteds
My point was its still 4 new units a month but with variety it becomes 6 but they are irrelevant so its basically still 4
oh god, the zone war of coop begins. 
ran into an anni skyla trying to replace ice zone
def brought it purely to troll the iridas
did this guy really just lead with ssn when they have irida in back

coop players are weird man
all i want is my ice gear cause ive got enough favs in this type to warrant a second gear
Maybe its cause it doesnt require gauges?
tho I havent had gauge issues with irida in co op
the round literally ends in 3 turns or less with irida, lol
thats not enough for ssn to even strike
True
Ice beam ssN 
His ice beam got super effective 9
Plus irida sinnoh spirit
Nice, i can get sskorrina to 150 today...only 7 faves left
June is 4, i wrote that
6 4 6 6
Btw "irrilevant" is quite subjective
You can't cut off viariety just because you don't like them
Some may like Lance or Lorelei, the Eveelutions or BallGuy
True, i see variety as the way for DeNa to release more canon pairs...well we know that trainer uses 6 pokemons, so hard to 6 sygna suit loreleis or 1 sslorelei +5 other seasonal lorelei, so DeNa opt to do this variety thingy to release another pokemon that they used but not as regular alt
I saw some people that were interested with this alola variety
I think lodge and bp pairs are also canon
Yep lodge should be canon
Even Syca keeping the bulbasaur iirc
Yep sycamore bulbasaur is the one left that we didn't choose in the game
Iirc there's someone that try to collect all canon pairs before this in this thread, but im not sure if he still plays it
Collecting is still a huge thing on some
Maybe devs are just testing the impact of variety... I hope
It started in a way (3 units in one banner) and was labeled as "occasional"
Just like Masterfairs not joining lodge 
Before this i did hate variety a bunch but then i realise that, most of their pairs are canon so maybe DeNa is cashing in that sentiment...well except eeveelutions, im not sure well its canon for kris and lyra as they can meet Bill in the game...but why lucas though
90 more pins or whatever mats
I checked, maybe Lucas found it in trophy garden after beating elite four 
They are?
Were they in any stories or?
Or do u just mean they had one in the games? Bcz that applies to every lodge pair besides gloria
Well all lodge pairs and bp pairs are the pokemons that they actually have in the main games
Oh, I thought u meant in pomas canon like they use them when they appear in events
Gloria can, that just mean she choose monkey starter
I mean, she doesnt show up if u dont pick her
Nah pomas can put any pair they want just like marshadow in korrina but in the main game, korrina doesn't even use marshadow
While rosa serena dawn etc. do and they use those pkmn
Yeah, so gloria may be one of those since she didnt show up in the game if u didnt play as her
I thought her starter was inteleon? Since she used it in the galar nc event
Shiny Thwakey looks so random
It could be related to manga?
Possibly
But it wasnt her pokemon, just borrowed
Also it isnt shiny, its just a regular one I think
They can get 2 starters, it doesn't change canon much, the one that disturb canon is like diantha suddenly having keldeo
Kiawe did use arcanine in the game
Yeah, it doesnt disturb canon but its not confirmed ig
Like the rest use it in their actual teams but we cant be sure about gloria using it since she wasnt there if u played as victor
Lodge dawn being canon
Yeah, for serena dawn and rosa they got it from their rival teams (rosa from battle subway I think)
So varieties being canon alt does make it relevant and tempting for those collectors that are attached to the characters
So varieties wont bait me, unless variety frontier brains and chatelaines
They did use legendaries

I got BallGuy, love the swsh mascot, he's hilarious
If variety pairs get EX color pallete then they might be tempting, otherwise it's just 
Kiawe and mallow got it 
How do you know he messed up?
he clarify it?
No, but his infographics dont show the EX style
Prob would put it in these if they did
but the other units that have EX have it in the infographic
Im not rlly sure tbh, would be nice but I kind of doubt it
Well because Absol posted about the EX, i gonna trust Absol
He is the one that datamine stuffs
As he even found out about the new game mode stuffs even the calculations, pretty sure he will know if there's no EX color for it
4k gems atm (recovering after long hiatus)
Dang I completely forgot how weak the umbreons we have in this game are
Start stacking for anni is a nice idea
||would’ve been 7K if I wasn’t too prideful||
Yep rachel got one of the lowest defense stats that ive ever seen 
Sawyer have more stats
Rachel is ok, bulkyness comes in many forms, she got a bit more hp
FA4, Endurance, 60%recover with cleanse, synchro healing, gradual healing
Enough for her purpose
why are u posting things like this

this too
Because AR said the new Variety doesn't have EX color, but i show that absol said that they have EX color
Honestly all I do in the game now is so cs (If it has reset) or do events that I haven’t finished yet
I’m just too lazy to do lodge or dailies
Will be missing 80 gems though 
No new events
||Cuz liza is coming||
I’m recovering from a long hiatus and a bit too much pride
I was a bit too overwhelmed by the game so I didn’t log in for like 2 months except the masters day
ah,
do you miss the 2 months of gems
in honesty, its fine to take some kind of break
I havent miss logins yet, although i did lose some bp because i was too afraid of master mode for a month, also lacking good pair to do daily region battle during first few weeks
I lose about 2k BP
if it feels like you need to take a break at times then do it, it's no fun
Than those that never miss anything
Basically
I’m gonna try to do my dailies starting this reset
I don’t really care about master mode
As long as I can get those 5* unique tickets I’m happy
At minimum 8K for a hard cs like sinnoh, hoenn and kalos. But 10K for the rest
Wait when did 12.5k released?
I want grunt pairs so bad
pool needs more 3 and 4 stars
and grunts are PERFECT for that
Frontier brains as well, we already have thorton, noland and lucy. So just add the remaining ones 
Oh and darach
If I don't pull anything at all these next 2 months,I can have 86k by end of anni
So I can get 2 units from anni
Okay. After the next reset, I'm gonna do the co-op story once I finished this week's Sinnoh stadium. I already finished the Pasio Special, so I'm good
So if you hoard from now, you get full anni set guaranteed
I'm not planning to pull anything this month at all other than Adaman
I got 4K rn with the amount of gems this and next month am I ready for anni?
Sure, can get 2 pities i think...iirc run up to anniv + anniv = around 2 pities
Oh right, i forgot that you dont do dailies so probably hard
80 gems so 30 days already 2400 gems a month
Probably can
Only lack 2400
Will be even lesser if you ignore villa
Just got 5k
While most are crunch on which tech candy should they focus on I’m more so crunched on who should I use my strike candy on
Already sounds not fun
Same, i need 2 tech candies but 7 strike candies 
Boss Nessa doesnt have any special rules 
Archie having a special attack reduction?
I’d love to get Celesteela but the game was nice and gave me Nate for a daily
So I won’t push my luck
I realized that if I don’t give myself a challenge in the game. The game becomes boring
We need a raid boss like co op content
We will get it with upcoming water game mode, you can modify the enemies to have 10k stats 
Fun challenge
darach alt PLEASE i beg of dena
That middle HP is just ebe 
But this time there’s no region boost
Also iirc most of the enemies are not weak to water so bye2 ontype
Only need 3 water types in total anyways
So you'd still ontype for most part if you have the MCs
Like solgaleo for Lana
You’re required to use at least one water type per team if you want to score tho
So min five water types

More water you use higher the multiplier in the round too. So people with good enough water boxes will prob just run fifteen water pairs for lower score requirements to meet full rewards
And to score decently you'll want 2 on some stages
I gonna use 15 water pairs, for other types, i might need to resort to put 1 offtype pair in the teams
Like poison, that i only have 9 pairs 
Poison and ground I like have 5 or 6 in so I’m going to be screwed when those come around
Yep ground is kinda bad, like there's only 1 ground eggmon iirc marowak, if you want to add to the roster...poison got 4 eggmons
Sandlash too eventually
Waiting for them to release rhyhorn eggmon, hope its ground...oh and diglett
Oh yeah sandslash
With anniversary coming up I am keeping in mind that there may be an anniversary Lance and I’m using that information to help me have a saving goal in mind
Any gems I spend are taking away from my Lance fund
That would be nice, hope he get one of the kanto birbs
Need to drop this here so i don't lose it lol
PoMa Gacha Wishlist New Stuff :
- Selene & Elio alts (preferably Zeraora & Magearna)
- Flannery, Sycamore, Gladion alts
- SC Steven but SMUN oriented
- SPA + Crit fast ramp support that's not Variety
- May & Manaphy
- Goodra (OG), Mega Audino, Espeon
- New Ice Special damage dealer
- cElesa & Alt Iris 5/5 expansion
**PoMa Gacha Wishlist Reruns : **
- NY Lisia & SC Zinnia
- SS Hilda & SS Hilbert
- Emma
What if its manaphy but with other trainer?
as long as it's not Cynthia, i can swallow it
Based 🤝
may manaphy is good pairing
Yeah anything is fine
since manaphy seems like a princess to me
I hope next month will have lodge guest that i can have access to
my marnie from 400 level already becomes close to 1000 due to no lodge guests
oof
Maybe i will make marnie more than 1000 level, because she got a lot of 10 points topic so she's nice when there's no new lodge pair to work on
Same
diantha would be nice but if its galar related maybe bede or sonia
So i consistently got 1 certificate a day at least
I dont have base diantha as well 
Only got sc and ssdiantha
well hopefully u can get her from the free select then if we get one for anni run up
Oh right, i forgot to do my usual EX plaza ritual... each time i got a new fave, i will do a full run of all EX Plaza just to see my faves in action and gain gear mats
Even if u dont u can always get steven too
That will become Steven
Atleast its still someone to do for lodge
I will prioritise the lodge guest that already available before choices like lance or diantha
Because yep its only for the lodge, not like its a fave 
Yeah, ill prob get N to have all the older lodge guests since the other 2 (gloria and steven) are all newer, plus he’s prob my favorite of the 3
If red is in that select tho im choosing him
Or ingo but I dont think its likely
Lodge guest is nice to have due to we will have more pairs to work on for region boosted event, but still not gonna tempt me to pull irida and adaman because pulling a non fave MF just for lodge kinda feels like a NO 
Yeah, idk if id even pull a PF for lodge
|| tho I used to || but would like if some triple banner came that had them with someone I actually want
Oh right, it will be tough for F2P...like i grab raihan is through ny fair select
I also don't want to pull non fave just for lodge
N and Gloria are fave so no problem haha
Hurm Leon might be August lodge guest, because its kinda Galar related but im fine i guess as Leon doesn't use any legendaries in the mainline game
Archie and Maxie are villains so it is kinda hard for them, but maybe can in the future as villain leaders here are not as evil like in the mainline game
#1010223517565976737 has been updated
Thanks Cami 
Our move coins are a bit less because, this water game mode gives less coins than gauntlet 
the coin income has dropped slightly since this time last year
3 month moving average of coins went from 12 to 11
Also due to VA reruns i guess, when old VA event rerun, the coin missions changes to 100 gems rewards instead 
When they rerun, they already took the event slot for half of the month
dang
Is more gems a good thing?
Yes
Depends. More gems available? Absolutely. More gems spent to get the pair you want? Not particularly
I was so confused when I saw the coin missions changed to gem missions. That’s annoying
I just think of it as more gems to save.
Also I’m low, so I need all the gems I can get from this update
Gems r nice but I could also use more support coins 
I need Tech coins 
Tech and strike coins r useful too but idk who to candy
only have my support candy plan planned out I also dont own them… yet
Oh yeah I still have to use my Support candy, keep forgetting.
I want all candies 
Too many pairs to candy, I end up thinking forever and never candying lol
I have 1 striker and 1 tech I plan to 3/5 and some im considering after, but alot of the pairs I want to candy r pairs I want on a rerun
for supports and 1/2 of the techs and strikers I think
I have an ever growing list of pairs to invest candies on
Though some of them are mostly for collection purposes, like Steven and Lance
does sc lillie not do well enough for you on spatk+crit or you just wanting more that do such jobs?
Can’t argue with having more support options given the nature of the game’s “harder” content requiring to use different units.
yeah, true. i just was wondering since she does pretty well at that job from my experience.
updated my priority list; im not even aiming on getting any low priority units now and only focusing on these ones
ill get seasonals easily
have to wait for the johtrio and frog reruns
and two pokefairs from the paid anni
Are these all pairs you dont have yet?
no these r the pairs i want
Hopefully they come for you in the monthly MF rotation
i know they're a lot
but ill have to decrease the priorities for some
im aiming for all the very high priority ones first
So you already have some of em? Can remove those you already have from the list
the first row i have
ok ill remove the 1st row
thats just so i can keep tabs on the favs i have
Good luck guys, im already in saving mode till next datamine
||yes i shouldve gone with a pity its a bad habit||
ok this is the list
So im here to give moral support
Nice looks better
great
Oh i saw sswally, he is coming soon
hes at the end of this month
Hope you have good amount of gems saved
i couldnt get ss may so ill try wally
by the time wally comes ill have 32k
hope thats enough
Always calculate your gems, its ok to not have pity but able to form pity amount before the banner expires
why the pulling talk here
Gems command in bot zone is your best friend
yes ill be able to get 36k easily before he leaves
oops sry for ping
Good
documenting a bad experience
too many old units
Many people make mistake of not able to form pity before banner expires
i wish we had august datamine so i can get a better estimate for oleana
rn i know we have like 20k left for this month
i will update it over time as better units come out
some will go out of the list some will come in
but oleana leaves on the 18th
She and Rose has long duration right? Till end of galar VA part 2
but my boy lucas
forget it
its just til the 18th
i dont think thats va part 2 ends
cuz we didnt get hop pb
then just put lucas only
if its a fav let em get it
since thats the first thing u mention
Oh so galar VA part 2 on early month
well fitting because paulo badge is on mid August
huh
its meant for a trick qn to see who is really his fav
do we know that its one month for both parts
for instance, if we get any new good bug strikers ill remove ingo and emmet
We already know paulo interlude, dena put it in this datamine
then put lucas , and then forget the rest of old units
mm i guess
Absolutely even already posted the video scenes
ok
thats kinda ouch
so hopefully 16k in 2 weeks
doubt thats happening but if that is the unfortunate case i have a pity for anni
my favs in these are:
- Johtrio
- Frogs
- Lucas
- UnoVA and Kalos VA
- Zone setters
eww
Zone setters all of em i like a lot
i dont wanna whale but ill nab them slowly
f2p doesnt have luxury to go for shit like this
fine ill remove some
when u have little gems
ig i dont need anni may cause i have bianca
its advisable to scrape meta
no one else matters
for me rn its archie :copium: and like any poison pf
2 might seem to overwhelming for those who are otw to 1 pity
ok ill remove units like ss steven and anni may cause i have good psychic teams
so oleana is what i want rn because she’ll actually help improve my roster
Found it, 16th August
So part 2 galar VA will be first half of August i guess
Thats why rose oleana banner ends around that time
see the thing is
raihan alt
raihan and archie are my targets
well you’ve already saved a potential 73.2k
Just dont pull oleana first and wait for datamine, if want galar poison damage dealer for EBE theres Alister
gaaah i have to prioritise too much
i just want someone better than a 1/5 looker
Fall Iris in her rerun right after anniversary?
i know but i dont like using him
for 2.5k without p ups idk if hes enough either
i just off type when i see it
u just showed your true feelings with that qn
just ditch them
true but zone units ideally want a second damage dealer
and firis damage isnt exactly standout either
took a while but reduced it to this
will aim at reducing it wayyyy further so i can prioritise better
try to reduce into 10 pairs
Man, im glad i stick to 10
: 10
for
. Consecutive months without new lodge guests does have its toll on me
gaaah
ig emmet is an old striker
ill probably get paulo and his lycanroc when they arrive
I want to ask something, if all three johtrio reruns at the same time...which one you will get?
oh they're prioritised in order
so ss lyra number 1, then ss kris, then ss ethan
thats also my order of them as favs
huh
I'd just ditch all of high priority and cut down like half the very high priority
You prioritise sslyra more than them
You only get enuff to pity like 9-10 units per year
That list is like more than 20 units
yes but i wont have to pity all 10 right?
just expect the worst
Depends
be pleasantly surprised when it doesnt happen
It might take 10
till now ive only had to pity thrice in the game ss lusamine, ash and sst red

that depends on your luck, but always prepare for the worst case scenario
Just roll every unit in 300 gems lmao
yes thats the attitude
i understand
You don't need a list
that was my philosophy with mfs and it worked for a bit
get them or dont
dont do this
i wont
not encouragement just admittance
eughejfn whyy
waa
I still need like 5 tech candy, 5 support candy and 3 strike candies 
thats unfortunate
do u guys have all the units in the game?
No
ofc not lol
i 100% dont
and probably never will
considering how they hate rerunning pfs
cause im sitting at only 50% of the game's units
im at like 42% and i can consistently clear 2.5k with a lot of trial and error
You might can prioritise the pairs that can help your account first than others, like ssdiantha and emmet are both rock damage dealers so you can prioritize one of them less than the other one.
you dont need the broken shit to succeed
wait really?
out of 316 units i have 170 thats it
i thought u had way more
don't do what he said lol
i wont
heyyyyyy
I have like only 42 limited units 
leaves the scene after spreading misinformation
well regardless i need to reduce my list
And don't even use half of em
but tbf though
i have 20 thats it
i dont have a lot of limiteds
just 20 limiteds
but i have the rats and thats all i need
CS only need 5 offtype teams
And gauntlet needs 10 serviceable teams
ive never tried gauntlet
I have 71 limited pairs
the more smaller your list is, the more gems you save
My list is just 3 units 
I have 0 pairs that i aim for in reruns, only look forward to future faves 
anyway i think i can narrow my list down
thats cause u're on 64/64 faves
here is my list for preference, its still not a good list since i put some of lower priority pairs there
im on 0/20 favs
||i want oleana any archie and raihan alts (basically never happening) and ss or champion serena||
Well i also started from 1 before this but i skipped non faves
oh ill sort mine into the paid selects also
thatll make it much easier to handle f2p gems thanks for the idea
I liked this format, I'll make one list for me like that
I only want ssmay dupes, scrosa and aura cyn
I pretty much got all my other targets
if raihan gets an alt for va part 2 oleana gonna be the first to drop
if there isnt ill probably just roll for her
cuz i doubt serena mf will rerun before 2024
that feels too soon
urgh
if shes anni i guess ill drop her too worst case scenario
Not soon as zerena already a year plus old
Well it's been a year since her banner
if kalos va ever reruns i think she has a good chance of rerunning at that month
ha
Tbh she might even drop next month for masters day
if she drops im dropping everything and getting her
serena and lucas are the two characters ive decided to focus on
from the advice
Finally updated my fave list.
oh god now i feel terrible abt how big my list is
must reduce further
Is it ordered by priority?
yes
im ignoring the second row now
only 1st row
thats still a lot
hm
||I like the Unova protagonist, including N, I pulled all of N alts, gotten Halloween Hilbert, both Rosa alts (Christmas and SC) Nate (Waiting for him to get alts) and finally got SC Hilda. Which leaves Summer Hilda, SS Hilda, and SS Hilbert left to complete my favorite collections.||
thank u
this is the list im following now
that was wayy helpful cause i didnt have to that myself
wouldve hurt conscience too much
Well 6 is still a lot but atleast more manageable
yes
As long as you don't fall into temptations it should be fine
Im surprised mine short.
Mine is also only 3 units
did mine
||Soon I’ll be 2 left since Thursday is summer hilda rerun||
|| I'm not counting Glojo and SMarnie anymore cuz I'll go for Glojo and get Marnie on tiered ||
||But my TRUE fave is N, I’m waiting for his 6th alt so I can pull so later I can 5/5 him. But until then, I’m waiting for the next Zoroark alt.||

ive reduced it down
lmao
took a while but she is my fav
no way im skipping her for any other unit
had to think which one was my fav for a while too but it's always serena
tho i should remove the whimsicott thats a meh unit
updated my rerun tierlist
Gl, I hope to reduce mine a bit
|| considering some others but idk ||
must skip the july
me too
Luckily I dont want anything atm so skipping is easy
yea july is not a month that appeals to me besides a potential ss wally
and i dont like glojo and ss lysandre cause i have archie and may as my water team and they dont need replacement
|| like I kind of want ss lyra and maybe some other pokefairs; victor, ss may, tapus, emmet/cblue and emma (but if there’s a poison/rock striker I like better im willing to just go for them), glojo, ciris, ss silver, however ill prob just skip all of these unless I need them emmet emma or victor for lodge ||
I kinda dropped my rerun list since I kinda worked that into my fave list in general
I do have 1 maybe from what's revealed but I'll 
Added him 
Ill delete the old version now
Made a "rerun" wishlist
Can't even consider oleana rn because of situations involving period and other banners
To explain, they're all units I'd like but the lower rows are unlikely to come in periods where there's nothing else of interest/in good banners
at least you can wait for August datamine to decide to pull for her or not
I really can't
||got shafted too fucking hard on twins||
I can't risk Anni run up and Anni itself having another pair and another possible pity
Because I'm expecting them to have a mid August datamine for preanni
Like last year
is this a concerning amount of evil team admins and copium? probably not. ||i'd pull for anything dena shoves at us if theyre on the top tier||; tier list not really in order for the bottom half
damn... if only I can do Rerun Wishlists...
Sadly, by the time they rerun... Im already focusing on getting a new unit a like from that patch
so if I get shafted... thats goodbye on the unit forever...
f2p... I can't have everything
If you like you'll find a way to use, she's not bad. I use Palentines Serena all the time
dont bother with rerun wishlists
only trapping oneself to a bottleneck
This
Yeah most of the units I’d say I pick up on rerun never happened. Sometimes multiple times
Best to accept you aren’t getting XYZ unit and move on
Though many need justice
Like Claire (the EX is not justice enough), Palmer, Ryuki etc
Victor
I do grab reruns when it's convenient
There's a reason my rerun wishlist has a tier called "probably never"
And one "I need this right now"
Instead of "I want more/less"
I grab reruns for faves that i missed before i joined PoMa, happy to get them all 
The last one that i acquired is N on January 2022
If you have like 4 or 5 rerun units as targets then it's pretty feasible
Having like 15 rerun targets is kinda 
True, that's why i always advise new players that want to follow my same goal is that you need to be a whale or a dolphin 
A bunch of my faves are limiteds
Yeah that's...not good lol
48/64 are limiteds 
The bottom tier is just there as "99.99% not happening"
a bunch and still growing with every coming mine 

Even without bottom tier
That's still 9 units
It's like a year worth gems if you draw short end of the stick

yeah
and that's also assuming none of the new units are faves during that period of time
which is almost impossible unless u only have 1 fav for trainer
Eh, considering 2 are tied to the same event, 1 has still to debut, 3 are mostly options in case of seasonal select if it ever comes back
It's not that bad
Seasonal reruns...i hope holiday seasonal rerun split banners, 8 featured pair rates will be so abysmal 
At least boost last year's holiday pairs to 2% each, just like lodge banner 
but its hard to guess the PF reruns now that we are getting solo banner rerun and dual featured rerun banners
Yeah I decided I'm never skipping a seasonal I want unless it's a only tame want
(triple featured seems to be not as common anymore)
Triple featured is still common
True, thats why if it is a must...i will make seasonal faves low prio, well because i will know the date of their rerun
Yeah but seasonal faves have the worst banner rates
but their rerun duration is fixed tho, while pokefairs are totally random
Seasonals are good if you roll their initial run or selects
Rolling rerun is where you end up throwing in a pity
in a way, u can anticpate and save for seasonals
Well but what can you do if you are out of gems on their first release, at least you will know the dates to get them later ...not like PF, MF, SC
Yeah, but enjoy the fact they get split very randomly and have no good rates
while fairs are unpredictable
(lowkey i dont uds why they reran Maxie and Archie so soon tho lol)

its not even fully a year since their last rerun
Maybe they start to rerun them based on release dates but kinda weird that there's no leon rerun 
Leon rerun back before half anni
if they rerun him now it's too soon
uhh we alrd have necrozma before Giratina
We did have Archie banner few months ago
ard the period of AlolaVA i think
Same case as that
shrugs
altho if they decide to play punk and rerun all 3 Johtrio ard anni period it will be devastating to those who want em
(since they did rerun Arch and Max right before anni drops)
Well they can do johtrio one by one instead of necrozma if they want zygarde for new years
But at least, seems like this new high score water game mode will bring a good split banner, it will be good if this game mode starts to occur regularly
DjGloria + SsLysandre
Coz 3 johtrios would fill in aug, sep, October
November 25 - dec 25 zygarde would be perfect fit
I dread for poison version of the mode 
Well it will have Emma and Oleana split banner 
Yea but they aren't my favs
And the mode would be a nightmare
I already don't like team building for 5 offtype water comps

oh they arnt water weak enemies?
Check pins in #1009557516369281075
It's not ontype
If it was ontype, the event would be joke

bruhhhh 
They better rerun poison eggmons event first before doing that...i still missing shiny muk and shiny nidoqueen,l
The worst part is

not even the sides are water weak
Just don't set rain

They want to sell water rebuffs unit 
2 waters +1 mid ontype striker carrying
That's what I am doing
Or just see if it's stallable
I gonna try with 15 water pairs first...well if i use all water, i can lower enemies strength as it will have more multipliers than i use 2 water and 1 non water
wonder if inflicting confusion to all 3 with 1 non-water(and 2 water team mates) will be better than all 3 water lineup with no confusion
Just dont try to use confusion on misty, she is status and interference immune 

Ill just wait for the pros to finish TCing before bothering with the event
misty dont have water type moves huh, that means archie probably work there since he got thunder as well
good against mid which is elec weak
altho sides are neutral
Nessa is kind, she doesn't have any special rules...lana iirc cannot heal
I am quite certain thunder Archie ontype is still worse than origin pulse offtype on rain
The BP difference is too big
prob have to test and see
Well 150 BP vs 220 BP
ooh
Use Wake for Misty?
If you can paralyze 3/5 thunder Archie is better
But misty can't be paralyzed
So 
It all boils down to how bulky 500 strenght is
And so on
Does Archie get extend range?
No
no
Then it's questionable depending on your supports ig
Only need to get 12k points per team when using 15 water pairs 
Yeah ik
If the 10.5k pts from super hard is for each fight, then the event is ez
24k with 2 waters shouldn't be too bad since you just need to clear mid fast with SE
Else it's gonna be hella hard
Doesnt count number of attacks, number of buffs, how fast you clear and how many main character tag you use yet...thats why i put some eggmon to add main character pairs 
I gonna give up on confusing opponents, i think what i will use is already enough
it will depend if giving up the multiplier for a non water type is worth it
if it is (Hi SSLyra) 
Idek what water types even have reliable confusion other than eggstoise
You wouldn't run sslyra
It will worth for types that i dont have many pairs...but i have 24 waters 
ah
Lyra is not fast
yeah
she drags the battle for sure

but i do it if i find a certain CS battle too annoying to go head on
I only have 4 limited water units and one of em is s!Gloria 
If only event was fire
Water is a typing I actively avoid to roll unless it's a super fav due to cyrus existing
I got five 
Oh dont use sslysandre on misty, she wont ever get burned 
off-typing with water gonna be annoying barring SSLysandre for me
Lyss is less points btw
i dont even off-type with water pairs besides him
Also got lots of points if clear the stage fast
idt they are that weak to get knocked out that fast are they O.o
unless ur factoring rain into SSLysandre team
i just hope it isnt too hard to get the point benchmark
Well they never really made any event not doable by F2P
Except for prestige
So I assume max rewards should be doable with some planning
100 sec seems like good stopping point
More than 100 sec is basically redo everything
How many syncs is 100 seconds?
My ssdiantha cblue comp did that rock mission in time trail within that time frame
And considering ssdiantha is slow as hell
It should be enuff for 2 syncs
That team did 1 sync and 1 hyper beam after sync
Ok how much is the strenght point system?
pretty good
definitely hitting 2 before anni starts
probably even 3 depending on august gem count
Can’t wait for next reset, a guaranteed 6th pity.
i ended up caving in and exing hala this week even tho he wont rly help with the upcoming water type event. wanted an ex'd physical ice since i prob wont be getting a new one anytime soon.
plus that covers aoe ice nuke for until a fav exists for aoe ice sync
Can’t wait to get those 500 gems.
I have 11 reruns I want, but if I get some of them eventually ill reach 4 or 5 
So it’ll become doable
tho I dont have seasonal/SC reruns I want
Big gems this reset 
BV, nice
I pull based on pokemon rather than other factors like trainers or outfits 
So i guess its based on your preference
Yes
If you like the Pokémon and the costume that seems like a good reason to pull (as long as you don’t like every Pokémon and costume)
Yeah ^
Pokémon might be cheaper though, they might release a normal and a shiny well some got more dupes but for example theres 3 crobats, 2 are f2p and 1 cost gems, but there's 6 steven, well 5 of them cost gems and 1 is free from lodge
Wait its free if you have base steven 
True tho, idt there is any pokemon that has the same amt of dupes to the alts of the trainer who has the most alts 
Altho yellow rat isn't cheap tho (1 is free, another egg but 2 from MF)
Yep like new kiawe arcanine, 2 arcanines are free and 1 paid
One is free from event, 1 is a low-rarity gacha, and 1 is a limited, is more accurate
Well pretty sure you can get low rarity gacha easy especially during free 100 pulls on run up to anniv
While easy to get, it’s still an important distinction that Marley isn’t necessarily a free Sync Pair
Well i guess, still cheaper than any variety kiawe
can't you get her from the free daily scout?
Fair, though that is RNG
Fellas I have no clue what to do
I want 3/6 of the units on the upcoming seasonal scout
But I only got 20k reg gems
And I'm scared of having faves show up in Anni/easier selects to use
I heard there was a paid version of the seasonal scout so shud I just
Buy the champion bundle
And use that??
Or r the paid seasonal scouts not worth
The paid tiered scouts are fine, especially since you want multiple of the pairs
How much does it cost total
Tate and Liza I checked
It's 20k
Is the upcoming one the same,m
?
Uhhh, I think rerun is 10k? I could be wrong on that though, I haven’t pid much attention to the tiered acouts
seasonal tiered is 22.5k
seasonal rerun tiered is 10k
seasonal tier is 10 steps
seasonal retun tier is 5 steps
#poma-questions message <- tiered breakdown
Can u do multiple runs of the tier scout?
O
Thx
O so its all x11 scouts
Thx a bunch
I might go for tht then
it's paid gems only
Yep ik I was alr thinking of getting the champion bundle
Also I didn't see it on tht post but can u redo the whole tier scout if u finish?
Like do another run
It's only a single time.
Pain oki
Once you complete tiers on a paid banner it leaves.
Aight
Thx for the info
Ig I can save the other 10k just in case a selevr w faves shows up for anni
probably very likely
if we are lucky, they might run a seasonal select banner as well on anni
its being over a year since they ran a seasonal select
*nearly an year since the first seasonal select was ran in last August
didnt they ran it on half anni back then? unless i recall wrongly...
oof somehow i forgot they existed
ye, i remember selecting SBurgh then
but the one in last August was the first one that included nearly every seasonals at that time
oh this
Did they not do it during 3.5 anniversary?
Oh
if they did i would have pulled 
Eh, I’m more of a F2P.
cos some of the seasonals then were good(but not really to the point i want it badly) but i decided to put it on hold
yeah there was
Oh i just noticed that water gear event is the same day water game mode, so i guess i will do gear first...that will help a bit as i plan to use 15 water pairs 
Oh darn, i just realised that my OG Kris has a super effective related grid...all 15 enemies in water game mode are not weak to water 
Yeah but haymaker+inertia should carry
Ok so i just wanted to ask if my ideas for scratching out these sync pairs from my list is good
Ill get SS Wally this month (more than enough for a pity)
Two pokefairs from the paid select on anni
And Fall Iris from the paid select on halloween
thats 4 gone from the list just in the next 2 months
but again as advised by u guys im trying to prioritise more and remove more and more sync pairs from this list so i can focus on only a few
if i get lucky in the paid selects on anni, i might get new units from the list as well
since you can afford selects, just focus on the above row, and use paid gems to get the pairs in the bottom row
huh
thats easier prioritising for non paid
thanks
but still i dont wanna waste
so might as well reove some units from the list
which i dont need as much
way too many units
gaaah
i know u guys r telling me to prioritise
i removed ss cyrus, anni may, ss may
but i cant go beyond
any advice on which to remove from this list?
which of these do u think is not reasonable to pull
ill use ur advice to better determine my choices
depends on your roster tbh
for example, if your Ghost type is doing well, no reason to get SS Korrina
for ghost, i use ssa cynthia, fantina and bp morty
is that good acc to u?
ssr cynthia is ok
quite sufficient for sure
i wrote ssa
OH you meant giratina
yeah you’re more than good enough
How about Grass type?
i use ss erika, bulurola, and any other grass attacker (like brendan)
then no need to pull SC Sonia
How is your Flying, Steel and Bug type, respectively?
i offtype
flying and bug
steel i use solgaleo but im barely able to clear
no need to ping me
so most of the times i offtype steel too
sorry
expanded Blue is great, while Steel has boosted Solgaleo which is good enough
they can clear ontype without zone
Bug is lacking yeah
so i think its okay to remove Pal Marnie and Anni Skyla unless you can spend gems on paid selects
ig i can remove sc emmet also since sc ingo will suffice with genesect if i get them both
will that work?
that works
Bugsy is good with zone
ingo always
Hop Bugsy Beedrill got EX treatment, that can help bug coverage for f2p 
yea but ingo's a fav
i mean keep Ingo
remove emmet
yeah
well that shortens the list a lot
about Flying again, since you are saving up for SS Ethan, there is no need to pull Skyla as well
ok
i also removed ss cyrus btw before cause i only need one dark zone setter and that i get if i get champ calem
and calem's also a fav
so ill wait for the frogs to rerun
holy 220k gems
|| I'm going for Marnie, but I'm hoping Hilda appears on the way ||
I missed the reset before Bv so I got 6,3K right now
Gem count. Still have tapu bulu and ice stadium to do
An event in two resets let’s goooo
I wonder if there’s gonna be another twitter rally event
Its likely that we will have a rally for Galar VA
It’s in like a week and a few days till galar va
Cannot wait for Galar VA, the first half of the story seems promising
That sounds better than the previous ones
Yep, like kalos VA...i dont think big things happened much in it, like the first part is just a theater play with some team flare grunts disturbing it, and second part is just people discover the real team flare is not the one that did it
Sinnoh VA is nice
Unova VA also got big incident happen although its full of memes
Hope only 2 faves in the second part
More than that will be harsh for me
Can only form 3 pities with remaining gems
We got rainbow rocket arc?
All of these VA are rainbow rocket as the Giovanni that disturb them is Rainbow Rocket Giovanni
Including in Paulo interlude
IIrc poma starts with rainbow rocket Giovanni (Gio&M2 should have the rainboow R)
Then he they move to restore original rocket
I meant that’s basically a villain arc that’s just rainbow rocket post game usum plot thing
Ye but poma is going backwards lol
Yep but i dont understand why there's 2 villain arcs that palki said..galar and rainbow rocket arc
Its still 1
Unless galar VA and paulo interlude but thats August
Oh so they will put a conclusion later? Hope so...paulo doesnt look like he's playable based on the final Paulo interlude
Also the scene is too short
Hopefully
Also seeing Paulo final will be 18th, part 2 galar VA will be on the first half of August...||also because at the end of the scene shows Rose gonna help the guys||
Yep
Also they can expand the current ones as they already did
After Galar arc i mean
I hope they find a good enough plot to replace VA after it ends, pml 2 sounds mid
Add some multiverse shenanigans probably
Multiverse 🤝 Time Travel
SV will not join masters for a while
I think the most easy to handle is something related to PLA, maybe with Volo being 4th anni unit
Marvel contest of champions does the multiverse stuffs and they stay strong and already 8th year anniversary like there's 9 playable spidermans in it
Well probably cannot do much in pokemon but some of the characters have a clear difference:
RSE Maxie, RSE Archie, Warden Ingo, Salon Maiden Anabel
I guess Kimono Grimsley is our first multiverse character here
He can swap between old and young
Well DC/Marvel rely on multiverses to tell new stories and each one is clear and distinc
KGrims and other stuffs like CElesa are just oufits in Poma
Hoopa in the end suddenly opens unclosable rifts in space time and volo wrecks everyone in sight. That’d be an ending I would like
