#Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

does raikou la give 2100 gems or 1200 gems?
šRaikou LA next next day?
1100 for doing it the first time and 1000 for the missions
3 resets

Hope raikou LA give tech coin, i need just one more 
so we will get 2100 gems when raikou releases
I wouldnt mind sonia, bea, bede, or hop bcz im EXing for holos rn and dont want to add another to the list 
Yeah
well, you can only go up from here 
if you're not sure on what to pull on, that's all the more reason to save 
Thats a point i never thought about thanks!
Maybe i can wait for johto master fair reruns
Anni pairs stay for 2 months right
Not that long
Probably only 1 month
Ash lasted longer than usual
Only archie/maxie rerun is that long
I wonder how many gems i can get by anni
Im at a solid 10 gems so it will really show
*should be still up when its October, or at least after October datamine
Yep, the only thing thats kinda scary are the galar VA part 2 pairs
They probably just gonna be as long as Rose and Oleana banner
There is no chance for Marnie, So i only wait for Bea 
they run till 19/8 tho
They end before anni datamine. So mean.
True
I think 2 MF for Galar VA, 3 MF for anni, 1 MF rerun will run simulately
š¤ 
It is the last VA surely it will get MF, the biggest event in august
Doubt there is a MF right before anni

At best they will rerun a MF
i mean it is monthly that is a sure thing
Yes ofc, but there wont be a new MF for VA part w
They are probably pokefairs but man, i not gonna miss the possible Regieleki and Regidrago pairs especially that Unova VA never rerun and SsSteven not yet run even after few Hoenn VAs 
Rerun VA PFs plz, 6/8 of the ones I want are from VAs 
probably those 2
Sonia, Nessa and Bea are highest chance since they only have 1 alt
But i dunno how they can sell another electric unit after release tapu and rat couple
I gonna grab, i only have 2 electric faves...tapu koko and zekrom, so more would be nice 
Regieleki could also easily be a support
Itās prob a tech with thundercage trap utility 
I think for electric types id just like zeraora with electric terrain 
Another Alola electric terrain setter?
I didnt get ss hau and not sure if I will on rerun 
- u cant reset it until 3/5
or maybe extension is usually long enough
electric support 
Electric rebuff would be nice
How to get EBE - Leon 600 gems today?
|| ||
you forgot allister
Who 
Make it the best sync accel unit in the game 

Gloria looks likely 
You need to do extreme battle event, Let's Get Stronger with Galar!.
Tho its real hard for limited roster.
If alister take of his mask i will pull tho
Oh can you show me the screenshot where the battle event is?
gloria also doesn't have a special image
flashback to me saying may will get a summer alt because no special lodge image
nevermind
Speaking of alister, Alister can help tho
i cant screenshot for now, but you can navigate from Explore>Events> scroll abit until u found Extreme Battle Event
if Gloria gets an alt in VA Part 2 I might get to Anni with barely any gems 
Victor need some love
Already has 4 alt not mention ss alt
victor will get an alt next month, most likely
Ok cool
victor anni bait augh
is he gonna be ss steven level tho for bait
victor has more screentime in galar va part 1 than gloria?
he deserves it
Ss steven surely a good bait 4 in 1 unit tho... He should have been MF
still no Kabu or Milo
SSteven was great bait
||how about rerunnning him||
kabu is gonna appear in the anime, soon
he is gonna rerun till last day of anni datamine just to steal all our gems before anni
ši thought galar arc ended
kabu, milo and even nessa got shafted in the anime
wait i forgot gordie and melony
i still wanna hope pokespe get updated with some good story
no nessa really are they trying to pg 13 nessa
Only hope is special anime
really want something like twilight wing happen again... That made me cry
Time to make myself aggressively save. ||Looks like Iām over the temptation of LySS and Dojo Gloria||. Thanks to Gakon of the suggestion of EXing Cheren if I fail in terms of temptation. Will be long couple of weeks before Anni especially if Gloria alt. Should hit three pities before SC Diantha and Johtrio rerun; praying for Hisui Anni so I can skip

Or should it be EX Nate⦠
Nate has some uses tho
EX Grimsley
This is Norman erasure 
Hey Norman is gud
Ex Clair like a true man
Iāll be slaking on that
bruh just checked the candy plan.... I just need 3 strike and 3 support candy but i need like 18 tech candy more 
And i will get summer marnie this anni so total of 20 tech is needed
Acerola carried me through Alola VA Battle challenges

Only ftp alola terrain setter
(Well, technically, LuSSa did, but Acerola made part 1 possible lol)

I need 2 strike, 2 tech, 6 support 
Currently at 2 strike, 2 tech, 1 support, 1 general so just need 4 more support
but all the units I want to candy I plan to get on rerun
But im also considering some other tech/striker options but im not sure yet
that look do-able tho. Support release rate is small so probably will be good. I used to chase support but sadly Dena ran out of ideal
Didn't they release 4 at once?
probably 3/5 rosa soon
Tapu?
mid
Only 2 support
I got one
I remember we had 2 variety, 2 SC and 2 pokefair in 3 different months
That was a lot of supports
It exists
Variety is shit unless your tier 0 fave gets it
It happened to me (Lance), great kit, but still refused to pull
I still donāt get why theyāre continuing with this crap 
Sorry Iām not spending gems on a reskin
me skipping kiawe cuz he's a tier 1 fav 
i dont get why dena doesnt make varieties spotlights. Spotlights actually have more effort in them.
Until it's the turn for Hoenn, I am safe
Unfortunately they probably make a lot less money
That's the going theory since we haven't had a spotlight since January
Yeah I wanted to collect all PF supports but then I didnt like anabel ss acerola or mina enough 
Still need red, ingo, ss dawn, ss brendan, and SSA Cynthia (last support masterfair I need), the latter 3 being the ones im saving candies for
Lodge red and/or heās an option if we get a free select next month 
Well varieties are less effort since they just re use the base model I assume, plus they r limited so if someone does want them theyāll probably pull whereas spotlight u will probably get them eventually
hope so ss red would be nice
I meant redlax but I guess I wouldnt mind ss red 
you wont have redlax for free...for sure

Iām back to 100k gems 
Nice, i need Raikou LA for 100k 
Dammit I forgot about SS Wally rerunning
I like the little squirt but hmm
Ehh heāll last awhile
I wont be tempted with him anymore as DeNa already sent me a fairy zone ssmina 
Same lol
Tapus fixed my fairy zone, elec terrain, and physical psychic in one go 
I wonder if they will make a free zone unit
Courtney
I should specify that it doesnāt require to summon
I donāt think they will
Like thatād require them to give us a BP zone unit or something which is uh
Unlikely
Well is there even a free weather unit?
Oh acerola
I think only she fits, as blaine and winona require pulling
Im not sure where to group eggmons, well they are kinda free but a bunch of them are time / event limited
For now only egg Squirtle is available
Theres egg vulpix too
The tech can sunny day iirc
Still looking for my shiny squirtle 
It will come
Kinda salty that DeNa doesn't do water eggmon event in water high score period
Could've use seadra/seaking/cloyster eggmon
water eggmon event during this kind of event would be appreciated tbh
All 4 weather are in egg genpool
Only Gyarados and Jynx are event locked
98,820 gems today...going strong 
Also 9910 BP, 2 more days and 1 of the new bp master pairs on anniv is in the bag 
im few hundred BP behind u, gonna keep the ticket and see whats for anni as well when I get it
I didn't got 500 gems from blissful bonanza event today instead I got only 200 why?
did u buy 8x from the shop?
there are also quests that require u to buy 8 items from the shop
I already have EX Cheren, who's the next option?
We all got to start somewhere i guess
Never too late or too early to save 
This time im not allowing myself to summon until anniversary
@pale plaza you play genshin impact š Nahida lover š
Yesš
I am Xiao lover š
Also a ayaka main
Sorry got off topic
My bad sorry
ok starting to save again
until i spent it on galar va part 2 
Be strong!!

-presents my coins- Can I have this character, pwease? 
Id like the option where we could use those coins to get something other than gear upgrades
we have one? 
We do, you can find it in #1025828482627940412
Factsā¦coins are so important in other gamesā¦theyāre an afterthought here
āAfterthoughtā I dont think of them at all tbh
Coins for decorations in the lodge would be my compromise. Donāt think theyād let us buy gems lol
Use coins to buy gems is such an EoS move lol
it doesnāt help everyone but it helps me to know the odds of getting a featured pair are pretty low with one multi
and every random multi you throw is 3k less gems you have on hand for a future unit that you really want but may have to pity
I would love that bcz those things r expensive
avoid staying on the game longer than u need to do your dailies & weeklies
3k is Expensive ā¢ļø and imagine this scenario: I could be 1 multi away from pitying a mega ultra fave that is leaving in a DAY because I spent that 3k impulsively on a banner I don't really want anyway
How do I avoid impulse multies...I do it by clearing content with what I have. Gameplay and saving work hand in hand. If I didn't clear the Galar EBs from half-anni I would likely be even deeper in gem hell if I had ||pulled on CMarnie or CHop||, but I used what I had. There is no shame in using what options you have to clear content; in many cases, it feels more rewarding
Impulse multi? Never heard that before.
I'd like that. We have no use for the coins and I don't have enough of the lodge items to buy decorations and presents
That's weird, do you have all expeditions with 10 chests and 10 on other?
Thereās not really a reason to doubt that they do, we get a minimum of like 24k gems per month
Ok š
Who pung
How can you be so sure?
Maybe clickbaits
run-up to anniversary
Yeah, itās not unreasonable to speculate that the lead-up to anniversary will have a bit more gems than usual
2.23 (last august) was 40k gems in the update, the month of august (which included the end of august for anni gems) ended up giving us 45k total
when was the first teaser for the anniversary last year?
i find it weird that we dont have any clue about the anniversary, nor a new feature like de lodge that was teased months before.
It was a 5 second thing during a pokemon presents iirc
mid august #game-announcements message
what's a healthy anni stash? 2 pities?
yeah same for me
we can expect 3 MF, no? sorry last anni was my first
very likely
maybe even 4
Just gotta get through the Galar VA š„¹
who said galar va wonāt be the anni units 
Oh gawd please no
oops! all galar
Also speaking of Anni
Isnāt the in-game lore/story for it is the anniversary of when Lear met Hoopa?
If they are mid its more things to skip ig, I want to focus on reruns anyway 
How you guys have a lot of coins, omni potions drains my savings 
Get lucky with gifts i guess
I haven't used potions in months

I need to use it, still got 5 more faves to get to level 150 
I might can finish one before datamine
Selling gear seems to bring in my coffers
I'm right!
Youāre right in that you havenāt used potions?
potions? what potions... 
I prob stopped using it after my expedition slots were maxed out
my rare cache are alw lv 10 either way without them
Don't you want to go over 1000 scout tickets?

i'm already nearing 700 scout tickets! 
Im hoping they will notify me when my potions running out
You guys are great, i pulled my scout tickets as soon as i got 30...well still need to find more lucian copies 
i saved for specific region 1s, not for general 1s
I have plenty but thanks for checking 
Are you farming/selling evolution materials?
If you clear the training stages daily and sell the mats then you are already in excess of coins
Not yet selling them
I still got 30mil coins
Done with everything today, managed to get to 100,120 gems 
Then you should not worry about the elixirs, also exploration is a nice source
I'm near 90M
Waiting for another Celesa ticket thing so i can burn everything
Well thats why i ask others how they doubled mine and does they buy elixirs
I guess maybe evolution stones
But it does evolve eggmons so i shouldn't sell much
Cannot wait for my free 1k gems in about a week 
It could help abit for next fave 
Do you spend all 6 interactions from lodge release?
Ye but the consumption is really low so you would not even notice it
Not really i did missed some when i still not yet unlock extra members for expedition teams
Noice, i'm at 1900, missed a lot when I was traveling, oof
Oh fair i forgot we don't have the means to get all six lodge interactions upon release
The other mission is quite hard because i dont have lodge steven, adaman, irida so level 100 lodge guests will have to wait 
9980 BP thanks to this reset, will have a rainbow ticket on the next reset to save for anniv bp master pairs 
Same, so nice
still 9300 gems this month, that's nice
it's a save month too so I'm enjoying seeing the number go up and up
I buy them in bulk
- I use rare and soothing
When lodge first came out I accidentally clicked the double arrow button when I bought those potions, effectively using up ALL my coins. I now have 400ish of the red elixirs 
I bought some of the replicas that I wish I hadnt
if only we could sell them
Im 6k short of buying a marnie plushie, last one I need (besides the 4 lodge chars that im missing)
at least the coins dont have much use outside of upgrading gears
Thatās kinda the problem thereās no point to coins
should have allowed us to purchase stuffs like level limit raising items like codex etc.
Allows us to buy 10 certificates via coins monthly 
i havent used them since anni
maybe should write a suggestion

I have only 13 million coins 
New LA tomorrow/next reset means gems and resources 
New LA means we can just use any pairs and max 9 pairs to get all badges and rewards 
Iirc its weak to ground
Weak to ground? 
Maybe he is perfect for this as iirc Raikou has a bunch of speed buffs and speed related multiplier
Clay can debuff speed
Units with Bulldoze
Oh right, maybe i can try Chop + Scdiantha..they both can debuff def, spdef and speed
time to solo raikou with sst red
Courtney 

Bruh how did I miss this in the datamine
This month has been great for content
As a Raikou fan I am pleased. I hope we'll get a summonable one someday
||Variety Anabel||
I want gems
6 digits 
102,770 gems today...thanks DeNa
I don't notice that Raikou first appearance also has LA missions
Usually missions for repeat LA bosses
New rerun tier list only have 1 seasonal left to pursue.
hope i can finish sss rank soon
thanks to Raikou i jumped into 28k6 gems today
continue saving
I like raikou it bring good fortune
might aswell save candies for anni
and maybe hope i get pity by the time anni arrives too
imagine saving candy
i literally have noone that needs candy atm
better saving for anni ig
its been months since i saved lol
Me with 6 strike candies
im trying to save 2 candies of each type for the anniversary
if there's a fav i wanna 3/5 them
I just can't make up my mind to use them. Idk why I am like this
Can always ask for advice on where to use them, though with 17 you can do like 3-4 favorites without any worries whatsoever
good lord that's an impressive number
prepared for the 5/5 mf grids weāre getting for anni
^for legal purposes this is a joke
all mf getting a grid expansion 
anni steven is the only one that needs it
Yay thank you Raikou's gems
One jokes but I feel itās inevitable
it is
inb4 5/5 variety grids
5/5 MF doesn't sound unlikely
But whoās actually pulling for variety tho
PF took 1.5y to get 5/5 expansion, right

From Leon banner to 4th anni is 1.5y, isn't it
Oh, 2.5, even longer
Youād be surprised

i think the anniversary is going to be 3 unova MFs
that would make 4 Unova MFs in total
NC Rosa, Hilda, and Hilbert
I hope we don't get three MFs from the same region all at once... It's unfair to the ones who don't like Unova but also unfair to the wallets of Unova fans 
Except if it's a villain arc ofc
Yeah, it's why I think 2 unova
yeah i dont like unova either
1 Alola ig, their last MF is a while ago
This is why I didn't like 3.5 anni being all from Galar. Heck, the fourth unit, freaking Ball Guy was also Galar
2 unova, 1 alola/kanto for anni 1 kanto/alola for december
but it's weird that unova has only 1 MF
They boutta make a massive comeback, watch
Ig it makes sense why ssac was FB
I think they plan ahead so they saved it for adaman/irida
FB?
Flag bearer
Since adaman and irida became pride and spirit its prob why ssac was given flag bearer
Instead of taking up 2 passives like serena
Kanto having no pride is abit sus ngl
Yellow
inb4 its a pikachu but with a hat
+anni
Poma's Half-Anniversary happens <t:1677564000:R>, <t:1677564000>
Anniversary happens <t:1693202400:R>, <t:1693202400>
Exactly!
Complete the Pikachu role trio
I will only accept another Pikachu if it's Yellow
Same lol
plot twiste: Akari & Pikachu
Run up to anni should be in the upcoming datamine
What if Paulo becomes an anni unit considering Villain Arc is almost over
Paulo and Unbound Hoopa, then Lodge Paulo with Rockruff 

Tbh, they could do paulo stuff next month
Plausible
i can see this but not as an anni unit. It's maybe a pre-anni unit
just like lear
Bcz galar va ends the 19th, so they need filler for the month
i only accept Paulo as free unit
And also with the paulo arc ending next month iirc
Isn't it ending in August?
Filler will be more Alola variety


Yeah, august is next month
64m 
yup
i could spend them on co-op orbs or lodge things
but im saving them for the eventual gear reruns
I couldnt wait for it and maxed out my 6 unmaxed gears in december 
Also u can buy orbs with them? Or do u mean the monthly 2/3k they put in the shop?
The medal and his story quest comes out on august 16
So that relates more to run up i believe
just like ss cynthia/ss leon/ss steven were
If he gets a banner it shuld be august 16
Hope its anni23
so they continue the trend of anni seasonals once in a year 
Werent ss steven and cynthia for VAs? Unless u mean anni bait/kommo-o
Oh yeah maybe
anni bait is also VA
True
ss cynthia and ss leon were for LE
ss steven was VA
All 3 were mid august
As run ups also ig
Nice nice š
Good going
11-11 is a very nice number as well
Not even 99,000,000 coins smh
4 pities! 
I feel poor 
What is this pity you speak of
Pity is the amount of gems needed to score 400/400 in a banner to guarantee a select
Costs 36,600 gems for free gems or 36,400 gems for free+paid
takes about a month
Arenāt they joking?
counter a joke with hard fact... K-O
Oh no
it was a joke
Dammit Roseās theme is seriously tempting me to pull
But Iāll stay strong
Youāll get bored of it after a while of listening to it in battles 
||I speak from experience
||
you can play it on youtube at the cost 0 gems 
It's also available on SoundCloud 
I gonna cope and wait for Decisive Battle Rose theme when He is with one of my faves
...SsRose Eternatus or something
No YouTube premium so canāt play it on the background
For some reason
Gaaah
Srsly i need to get help
||i got glojo but im back on 2k gems now||
Left on 2k gems
So it seems that you are suffering from temptation issues.
To curb this I recommend changing the way you get to the daily scout.
Use the little bar at the top of the Home Screen and tap through it until you get to the daily scout.
It seems like you are spending way too much time scrolling through the banners
Yea youāre absolutely right
Getting to the daily scout involves scrolling through the scout screen; if it is near i still end up scrolling through it and i give into the units whose kits i like
Thankfully i got lucky these 2 times but this luck WILL not happen again and i know it
Now ill go this way to the daily scout
Good idea never to trust your luck too much
And also a concrete favourites list helps
Oh yea i understand im pulling according to that only
The issue is im pulling without a pity
Which is wrong
Yeah you need to stop that
I have DojoGloria on my favorites list but I have tiers within the list
Right now, Johtrio are screaming down my neck
You could just go to the left since daily is always farthest right
Oh
ššš
I never did that
wow i didnt know u can do that 
i always scroll past the banners to the daily scout
Hard to believe itās been a year already since they ran
I feel bad because i have a sneaking suspicion ss red and ss blue will get their 5/5 grids at anniversary or leading up to it
And then the johtrio will rerun along the anni banners
Kinda how they reran the anni 2021 masters alongside the greninjas
If that happens + SC Diantha rerun Iām going to be completely broke š
Sc diantha you at least have till late September (maybe )
I have two pities, Iām not in the worst spot and I donāt really like any of the Galar pairs
I may be baited by an electric pair but honestly I could live without it
ScRosa rerun when? If it no longer rerun, Naomi will be gone in history 
Ground FTP really that down bad?
Well not so bad if people were present during the free pokefair select as they can grab cynthia
technically if there's a rerun, it will be the one and only rerun
after that she's gone
ā ļø
Yes, i wonder if helena and kali will follow her
Just event rerun on upcoming fall and ny
And then gone
and also, will they shift SC event back to Nov as well
they kinda brought it fwd last yr
Hurm 5/13 sc pairs are faves...i need to prepare myself, that kinda not a good ratio
That said my festive seasonal faves doubles in just a year
slightly less than 50% chance 
Anniv is dangerous, pretty sure they wont release normal pokemon anni MF again
hopefully no rats
Out of anniversary in name pairs, 5/6 are faves so another not good ratio 
Only anniraihan was skipped
Due to flygon
Sad that there's no tech coin in alola event this reset
I need it to form a tech candy 
SS Wally's event and PMD give 2 tech coins
hate that i read that as mystery dungeon and not masters day


i will brave through a mystery dungeon if they give coins(as long as not level reset ones)
Kinda sad that pokefair multis doesnt give free move coins gift
I would have a bunch if it happens
Gem milestone, finally made it back to 350k mark
Just 50k more to go for the next 2 months

Those numbers ending in 000 are immensely satisfying
thanks
yeah, i always make sure it ends on 3 zeros to make it look good as possible
can't guarantee on paid gems though but f2p I can
You are right
104,030 gems i probably can get to 110k with the help of free 1000 gems for 2000 interactions mission 
11k isnāt that much paid gems
Especially considering how rarely selects pop up, so theyāre easy to save
I dunno it finally says trainer under my badge so I figure Iāll eventually get to regular trainer to eventually get ace back lol
It was weird but itās like the server auto corrected on me
Especially since my blue icon randomly disappears on my end
XD
But yea selectors only popping up three times a year, I always advise folks to have 9k minimum saved
Just in case they do super selectors again
5 k paid isnāt cheap
Last year they had a seasonal selection which would be great given how many seasonals Iāve missed
had to switch oses due to phone stuff :((
ah well, reliving the inital 36.6k journey should be a lot less stressful this time
only way is up!
yea!
u used up your gems on the other phone?
this is unfortunately why iām ios until eos
no, it was an unexpected phone break
now that's catchy
oh
yeaaa :(
if it's any consolation we're coming into the time of year where we should get the most amount of gems
well uh... technically your gems are not lost yet
your balance will be skyrocketing before you know it 
just stuck on the other OS
yeah
i plan to stay mostly android im just stuck on iOS for now cuz my family switched and i was tugged along for the ride
still can use em to pull eventually
emergency gem stash, convince a friend to install the game and log in when you need to use them
yea
LOL

the game performs way better on iOS so that's something
signed, a tired Android die-hard
the one good thing about iOS
funny pokemon game works slightly better
my brother still has an android phone i could use if times get desperate š
but no new red banner means i dont need to be desperate
Definitely noticed this yes
Proud ios user since day 1
it's because iOS is waaaaay more popular in Japan than Android
so, naturally, the game is optimized for the target market
i get it, but also. 
š
I love how, as an Android user, my game freezes for a good 10 seconds when I turn off filters!
would love to know what it's like scrolling through a menu and having it actually respond. would like to experience that
Meanwhile me with ios
Living the poma dream
I love my 10fps gameplay while using Irida
Damn I had no idea Android users had problem running Pokemas
we can obviously still play with no major issues, it's just. not perfect lmfao
It used to be worse
Last year rain and hail would make the game hit single digit fps
Now hail only halves it
And rain is fine
Back to one pity. I'm safe now
it only freezes for two seconds on ios
what if we get nemona and sprigatito next month tho. what then
Poke it
cut grass


I thought that only happened with me cuz my phone is kinda old, at least now I now it's common on android lol
that's why I always use Pomatools for the sync grids and then just copy and paste to the game, it's not fun using the sync grid area at all
hopefully not but i fear they love commons at this rate looking @ leafeon and glaceon mfs 
But ig they were their signature mons
Shuld get legendaries for anniv atleast
out of the last 10 MFs, 7 have been normal pokƩmon 
Ye ever since 3rd anni
All mfs were commons except 3.5 anni

can't wait for Crobat MF this anni
lmao
I wouldnāt even be surprised lmao
yup, me as well
trying to plan grids in-game is a freaking nightmare
so much easier to just use pomatools and then put the grid in (with that horrible drag
)
wonder what they will put on run up to the anni
last year we simply had the VA take the whole month, but now half of the month will be another event
This is sadly how it was for me
My wife bullied me into getting a stupid iPhone and i hate it
Soon as i see a phone i like i am getting rid of it
Sadly there hasnāt been one āyetā
Should of left out being bullied by the wife bitšš¤£
She wanted it because facetime is a big deal to her. I caved into her nagging since i never had an iPhone. I will never have another one after
I donāt care if duo is clunky, this piece of garbage is way too restrictive
0ās 
we have paulo interlude dropping on august 16
which is same time as run up
and also technically a part of villain arc
Hoopa Unbound incoming
It better be masters fair lear
Yes please
||I NEED THIS||
Well they set the precedent with Brendan
So itās not impossible
That also took how long before he got his mega
Over 3 1/2 for sure
Dena like... BRB, concentrating on variety scoutsš¤£
Basically 45.8 months
I donāt think I will ever switch to android in a foreseeable future
Aside from playing rpgmaker games and apk
What benefits do Android have over Apple that i can make great use of
Google play surveys or smth
More customization/features and cheaper phones and accessories
But it's mostly up to the components imo
Just avoid paying for what you don't need (which could also mean sticking with the current phone why not)
Locking your gems out on another OS so you can't use them even if you want to. 
Ultimate gem saving method
DeNa hates him for his saving method. Click to check why!
Wait your free gems would not transfer across OS?
Nope
Segregated my tier list into three rows now
First row favs
Second row is just units i would love to play the game with
third row is what i want just for meta
i should probably remove the 3rd row ig
Oh, that's a lot
So delete meta, it's just more pressure
vj you have paid gems or no?
Kinda dead reset till poma day, these days i just do dailies and see if im still in top 10k or not... 
i do ill use them for paid selects on anni
gonna get 2 pokefairs from the second row
deleted the 3rd row
Do you plan on getting anything from 4th anni
depends on the units
if i dont find them exciting i wont
i have the rats i have no problem with content
What is your gem situation
this is non paid btw
are you going to do seasonal selects
smh
delete everything
that list is honestly a mess
limited units should keep as limited
wym by high and very high pirority
this gives a very very unclear direction to your goals
seems obvious which is higher pirority
but in reality your mind doesnt work that way for attaining goals
it needs clear segregation
i agree on removing the third row, but a bigger problem is that you have so many reruns youāre chasing. many of these are master fairs (higher likelihood of needing a pity) and even more of them all released in the last year
if all youāre doing is saving for reruns it leaves you very little budget for new units (which youāre obviously interested given how new all of your wanted units are)
chasing so many reruns like that is really painful yeah. i only had two reruns I wanted to get so I had to make sure I stayed above 2 pities at all times for over a year 
since he has faves he should priortize on chasing faves only
chasing faves and meta does not gel
I'm now free of chasing reruns
there are of course some other rerun units I'm interested in but I'm willing to skip them again depending on gem count and I woudn't mind
Still chasing reruns but besides 3 of them the rest are pokefairs
hoping for some good triple/double banner combos
Reruns⦠I want RoSCa, NY Lisia, and the Holiday and SS Leons I missed I suppose. Though the only one I REALLY want is RoSCa
I am sad I missed out on SC Zinnia
I want a lot of reruns but Iām more willing to skip a few of them
ATM I only have ||Johtrio and SC Diantha||, and for new pairs the inevitable Raikou and Anabel pair
76k gems should cover a small chunk of that
||Iām honestly hoping for Volo Anni so I donāt have to pull lol||
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1010275375730925638/1128524418147176458/image.png would it be a good idea to chop out the bottom two rows
sheesh u almost want as many as me
how do u save so much brother
Here's the thing: even though I have units in the "maybe" column I want (I've wanted DJGloria for a bit) I am willing to skip them
and also I have a punishment in place for myself if I get tempted
EX Cheren
You also get to save gems if you just pull for who you like and ignore meta
Or the other way around, just pull for meta. But that usually means saving for new masterfairs
Does meta even mean anything when theyāll just keep pumping good units
ill rename my list to ur way
that gives me much more incentive for saving
I doesn't chase meta, i skipped them and in few months, DeNa release my faves with meta kit of the same typing
considering u have 64 favs (and i dont even have 30 limited units), how do u save so well man
Because 1/3 of my faves are free pairs
8 legendary adventures, 1 mew, 2 spotlights, 5 bp master pairs
Well zekrom can also be free if you choose him from free select
No impulse pulls is also a big one
Also being a dolphin does help
To chase the ones i missed as they released before i join poma
My wake up call are palmarnie and palbea
I pulled for them because palmarnie can boost my gloria, hop, solgaleo and bea for hleon
But then i realise, i not gonna waste candies and EX non faves
So why i even pull for them
Smaller whale, those that only buy like 20 day 3k gem bundle
And can afford selects if need to
Not like whales that 3/5 every pair or get every pair thats released
Dont spent a cent is f2p
Thats a fact, giving bp pairs and lodge pairs EX are big win for f2p
š¤
That's all the more reasons I should save in case a unit I've been chasing decided to rerun
SS Morty jumpscared me last month. I was waiting for him for over a YEAR
Luckily I have SS Morty funds
||Before I saved I used to pull a lot (and I got quite lucky) Ig pulling back then made it easier for me to save now||
It definitely made content a bit easier
Just i think sync orbs is an issue for new players that they haven't tackle it quite well yet, other than that, everything is superb for f2p and newbies
Oh definitely
I did wrote a feedback for DeNa to give enough orbs to grid 6 pairs for new players, but they doesn't seem to implement it
Well at least 3 pairs
Also give 2 of each role 3* move candies
So they can 3/5 skyla
Dena: We will make a new package called the beginner package for that, ty for suggesting

Just like yellow move candy coin bundle
this is not what i meant when i suggested more move coins per month
They have a sync orb bundle too 

How about 8 pairs, it would be enough to grid all of the LA pairs
|| I have a few others I want but id only get them if they come on a banner with my priorities, but im fine without them ||
datamine soon!
Will i be able to pity 3 anni units if i have 45k gems now?
if we get anything close to last year then yes
aug-sep last year was 74k
#1010223517565976737
Will i be able save atleast a pity from now on?
3rd anni units lasted until 03oct
We have 4K from the rest of this month, but if you hold onto anything you save from now until Anni, you should have a hearty pile of about 40K ish
I have 600 gems that's it..šš
||This water event made me summon for gloria and ss lysandre||
||thatās the goal of the banner||. Now you will have to avoid temptation the rest of the month
Made that mistake during the prestige event. Don't recommend it personally
Datamine when
i thought latest 26th
We alr have content for the 28th so itāll prob be 27-29th
cant be on 29th since its the weekend
so its between 26-28
Oh yeah I forgot
i just hope its not on the 31st
which is?
Cobalion missions
Yeah, but can they even add something when what we get that reset is known?
Also since we know the gems we can get until the 30th does that mean new stuff will be july 31st or will they just add stuff to the 29/30th?
usually
nah, we've never had datamine that late
they count by when the gem prices reset
When does it usually reset?
not sure
but im still inclined to believe that datamine is on 25th or 26th
they dont usually put events on last day of the month
I think hoenn VA was the 29th? Maybe datamine on the 27th
Events?
they don't put out updates on weekends
Yeah but 27th is a thursday I think, but it should be fine to have the VA pt 2 on saturday right?
I think 27th is the most likely, 28th is right after, 26th is a bit unlikely and 25th is copium
Gem count, close to 70k 
ooh nice
weren't you at 100K a few weeks ago
but getting back on it 
anyways I narrowed down my tierlist
Never stop the grind
, after all I have to save for Geeta as she is a fave as high as Eusine
it's worth it for the faves 
galar p2 is probably july 31 so id assume datamine would be 28 most likely but maybe on 27 at the earliest . On 26 its definately not gonna happen
Events r usually always on 31st if a month has 31st and its btwn mon-fri
moreover galar p1 rally rewards will also come on 31st
ok so in the new tier list, i have a plan to easily remove 4 of these units
diantha and emma through paid selects at anni
palmarnie and ny lisia through paid selects in jan and feb
if possible i'd substitute diantha with lucas depending on the units available in the paid select
What if neither diantha nor lucas is featured?
tbh at least 2 of the units in the 2nd row will be featured that im sure of
so ill get those 2
Ah
You can move them to a new tier called "waiting for selects" or so
Im doing like that too, that weighs down my pressure on chasing some meta units or low tier faves
yep im changing the last row to paid selects instead of restricting just to seasonal
and putting most of my pokefair reruns i want there
now my non paid priorities are much shorter
thanks gakon
It's a bit better of a tierlist
shifting some of the maybes down to paid selects
you might want to shorten up that second tier though: that is a lot of possible pulling decisions
ill put hilda in dead month only cause i have a good fire roster
some others im shifting to paid
and now my goal is to keep saving until the johtrio and frogs arrive once again cause i know ill havr to go to 5 pities for them
that seems a lot cleaner now
hopefully you can stack enough paid gems by anni in case the selects come
ive gotten lucky because over these 3 -4 months ive obtained ss morty, glojo, ss may, ss silver, ss lusamine, ssr cynthia
all of which were a part of my wanted units
is this how you do the thing
your wants list is based
Never rely on luck, i thought my lucky streak will be going but then galar birbs costs me 2 and a half pities 

Lucky that i have those pities saved
i really doubt they rerun celesa but who knows
holiday skyla is guaranteed tho
same with the fall units
CBlue for me is still in meta category, i will retract my statement once we got another limited special damage rock attacker 
Hskyla, CElesa and Furbert are based 
as long as anni isnt unova i should be good 
surely theyll save it for later
probably anni nate
last anni was kinda random
or nc cheren, nc hugh and nc bianca ig
Well last anni does give new kanto spirit and flag bearer
We got no Kanto MF before last year's anniv
youd think by now there wouldve been
meanwhile me waiting anni volo and arceus
unit with infinte shift hits for supereffective damage on any type with judgement and Buddy judgement
selene who? 
Anni selene zeraora as iirc plasma fist is physical
So alola pride will fit
Time to replace the kanto rats with zeraora 
Zeraora is a tough one as we have SSRed
They probably leave that for another year or so
I dont mind, because i skipped ssred 
The sooner the alternative for sstred thats a fave appears, the better 
Electric is stacked as well
Yamper, the Hau's, N, volkners etc
Ash
Zeraora is in a tough spot
thats why they made Tapu Koko an utility pair
True tapu koko is such a blessing
It is
He can assist a lot of my future faves like zeraora, raikou, zapdos, xurkitree
Sandy shocks
he is not Vantner's fave
Yep non legendaries, mythicals, UBs, paradoxes= skip 
Doesnt change that luxray is not in those mentioned categories
Red does other thingsš
Tapu Koko also does other things 
Really good things toš
Same, really good things too 
Volkner still solid for new players or those that missed TK
Really want to candy that one to be fair
Also good for new players that missed sstred
But ani is soon and need the tech coins for the 3x anni tech units they might release
Never quite recovered after that months long tech release spree they did š
The red shade is realš¤£
The rats always been an odd choice. Stronger than beasts of myth and legend
Mascot power
In a game where a corgi is tankier than a legendary doggo anything is possible
Idt unovan rivals r as popular as galar ones but possible coz they r decent enough
lol
nc nemona , nc arven , nc penny can be a nice trio tho
for future
kanto pride
unova pride
unova spirit
alola pride
r left
gem count today
Keep it up
my gem count for now
its not that great but its something.
i have to say
my tierlist has come a long way
thanks to u guys
cause it was this
now ive gone from a 100 units i wanted to 16 š

reduce more
16 is too much
suggesting delete āneatā row, āneatā doesnt show a strong emotional connection to the units hence it might be a waste of gems
On the verge of greatness
I'm chasing 4 reruns rn
16 is too much ngl
You won't be able to cover chasing 16 units tbh
tbh im chasing only 5 master fairs
the rest r just there
also i had 20, i covered 4 in just this month
Ah
Relying on luck itās not a good idea, 16 units are 585k gems. Thatās almost two years of straight up saving.
New units youāll want are also gonna come.
Getting four units in a month because of luck is not what you should be expecting and itās gonna lead to misleading expectations
ye unless you are crazy lucky covering 16 sounds very hard alongside new pairs
Out of which 5 are master fairs
True, different story if you have paid gems source...so you can filter the seasonals and pokefairs rerun targets for select scouts, therefore you only need to focus on master fairs does make the list significantly shorter, also seasonal will be easier to predict their rerun as they will rerun in the same month every year
Ye if you aim to pull on select scouts then its considerable
Since you only gotta chase mf reruns
Chasing 11 units by select scouts still takes times
Tbh i would only keep 5 top units in the tierlist if i were them
Me with 6 targets but only 2 are high priority
Low priority stuff, I just skip if no multiple pities
ok guys tbh im ignoring the 3rd row and even the 4th row
keeping 2 rows in target only
two of which ill get on anni
You can consider putting some into select scouts tier
yea ill put two pfs in the select scout depending on the select scouts present on anni
then ill get them and remove them from the list
i also believe there was a seasonal paid select on anni last time so i can remove palmarnie from the list too
if seasonal select happens again
ill be done with the pokefairs in no time that im sure of
just need to keep saving and saving for the johtrio
maybe one day they'll even make a masterfair select who knows š
My list is too big but im okay with that since most of them will come back after a long time.
Im willing to remove the entire second row
gakon u didnt get c marnie?
I skipped her
oh
I just combined my list with candy list, so I don't add unnecessary stuff
Since I am often tempted to max my units
Good luck you guys
i only need to care for unreleased faves, its good when your goal has been reached
ok i made a fav tier list for the possible upcoming pairs untill the 4th anniversary. Im not pulling anything else outside this list + Milo (Top leon is with his Battle Tower outfit)
97/136 limiteds that we have
My current list || green - pull, yellow - depends, red - not happening unless thereās a free select, blue- free select or be in a banner with someone in the first 2/3 rows ||
Kind of long, but I dont plan to go for most of it anyway 
Chasing some reruns is fine, but there comes a point where it really conflicts with the current releases
ohhhk this is wayyyy longer than mine
Im only going for the first 2 rows tho
oh yea that makes more sense
My condolences to those that are waiting for the Johtrio rerun, since they will probably rerun in consecutive months
Luckily I only want one, unfortunately || its ethan who will probably be right after zerena
||
idc thats even better cause we get to save before each run
Assuming ur only going for the johtrio in those 3 months
for me, johtrio is at more priority than any other units in the game
That could be 3 months of skipping everything except them if you are unlucky
And new pairs?
yes
no new favs i have that have come up
my tier list has no very new units
Iono waiting room
Whats the newest unit u have pulled?
