Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[oak crest]

And def won't on p2

[lapis pine]

DeNa hates us

[broken mulch]

Boy am I glad I didn’t succumb for SS Wally lol

[tardy fiber]

Good luck guys, it seems like next month is safe for me

[mental skiff]

Prize box event is killing me

Do we have enough time to complete it before part 2 of VA start

[cobalt frost]

||okay so tower leon is a must scout and theres no changing in that||

gym gloria is an easy skip

nemona im unsure about but ill wait for datamine and see what the situation is then

[tardy fiber]

Im fine with the cooler leon eternatus

[cobalt frost]

Drip vs No Drip

know the difference.

[tardy fiber]

The right even got gems on the suit, so more drip also sygna suit is cooler than alt.

[cobalt frost]

if you believe that
good for you! you get to save gems!

[tardy fiber]

Spanish can put Leon battle tower but English just alt.

[cobalt frost]

thats better than me

im weak

[tardy fiber]

Will have 135k gems after August is over

Oh so there really will be Paulo VA on anni

The bingo from 16th August is to prepare for final villain arc

[wet egret]

Is the seasonal select seperated banner?
If so, which banner is most worth?

[tardy fiber]

Not sure how worth is it because we are not sure if its only there's only the 3 featured pairs or more hidden

But 3k select is better than 5k

[latent salmon]

i cant wait for no one to care about paulo va (i wont either)

[wet egret]

Ah, so we still dont get the details yet

[tardy fiber]

I will care if its hoopa unbound ...if rockruff i will left it

[wet egret]

But atleast its select not guaranteed like them 50m banners

[tardy fiber]

We only know 3 pairs for each selects

[tardy jolt]

So this guarantees at least another limited pair alongside the Anni ones, like 3rd Anni. Pretty stacked month with probably 6 MFs and 1 PF running

[mental skiff]

Last va is penny

[oak crest]

I'm skipping him if he's anni unit

[tardy fiber]

Yep probably took last year's sc rosa slot

Hope they introduce Pasio Region tag at the end of it...it can pave way for more Original characters to happen

Need more than just Mc, Lear, Rachel, Sawyer

[wet egret]

Nemona didnt have Paldea tag so its possible

[sturdy plank]

she has it hidden apparently

[tardy fiber]

Nemona is special case...absol said her theme skills are name theme skill 1, 3, 4, 5...so they skipped 2

That 2 supposed to be Paldea tag

[wet egret]

[oak crest]

well 2nd tag cant be activated since only 1 paldea unit atm

as good as not being there for now

[tardy fiber]

Koraidon and Miraidon for anni but probably not as well...it might be anniversary in name pairs, so might be 3 alts

Oh and Paulo

[oak crest]

pauloser

[tardy fiber]

Just be a physical dark hoopa unbound and make me happy Paulo

As i have 3 pities now and next datamine stuff haven't even started yet, i might can have 4 pities on anniv

[oak crest]

i have 6 pities now

[tardy fiber]

Well as dry the gems will be, it wont be less than 20k

[oak crest]

but it seems like 1 is a confirmed skip

i aint pulling for mr L

even if he's broken like rats

[tardy fiber]

I skipped rats too

Also frogs

[oak crest]

i skipped frogs as well

[tardy fiber]

And elemental quadrupeds

[oak crest]

cos i dont like how both of their TM is needed to compliment each other

[ashen thunder]

Tf is elemental quadrupeds?

[oak crest]

O.o

[tardy fiber]

Adaman and Irida, because last time i say it is cats, people said they are not

But they totally doesn't look dogs

So better safe and just say quadrupeds

[ashen thunder]

I am psure they are cats

But

[tardy fiber]

I got scolded once i say it's cats before

[ashen thunder]

I actually rolled all you guys said

[oak crest]

fox?

[ashen thunder]

But skipped galar trio and unova trio for that

[tardy fiber]

Wait unova have trio?

[ashen thunder]

Sshilda, SSN, sshilbert

[oak crest]

hilbert n and hilda ig

[tardy fiber]

Oh thats pokefairs so understandable

I grabbed the galar birbs

[oak crest]

lol unova and galar, i skipped 1 unit each from both

[tardy fiber]

2 and a half pities

[ashen thunder]

I skipped galar birds the moment I saw lati twins

[oak crest]

n for unova and bede for galar

[ashen thunder]

And the twins came early

So it was a nice month

[tardy fiber]

Oh i already got the lati twins on their first run

[ashen thunder]

Also skipped sc event

[tardy fiber]

Oh right SC are nice

[ashen thunder]

Coz I knew tapus were coming soon

[tardy fiber]

The recent ones are all skipped except rosa

[ashen thunder]

I had to skip scrosa coz I was broke

Ill likely try for her on rerun

[tardy fiber]

Im alright that time as i skipped ash, sstred and ssacynthia

[ashen thunder]

I skipped ssacyn as well

[oak crest]

I tried being calm while writing this

[ashen thunder]

But I'll try for her on rerun

Need her for offregion EBEs and stuff

Can work as a sub tank

[tardy fiber]

Kinda sad they doesn't allow pictures, i might send the rally screenshot

[oak crest]

they might as well scrap the RT event if they are so stingy tbh

its either they do it properly or just dont

[tardy fiber]

The 25 coupons and spirits are a joke

[oak crest]

it just feels really insulting with that type of rewards

[tardy fiber]

And thats even the higher milestone rewards

Higher than 30 general tix

[ashen thunder]

Well there are still people defending those so

Don't ask Dena gems, you should have saved for it

[oak crest]

i dont see anything worth defending

[ashen thunder]

I know they aren't wrong

But like it's anni

[tardy fiber]

They might get more retweets if they switch the prizes and put region tix as the latter

[oak crest]

as i said, if they are so stingy, then do away with it

idt any1 will really make a din outta it

[tardy fiber]

How much is 25 PU vouchers, does it even allow 1 ?

[oak crest]

yeah

just 1 measly PU

[tardy fiber]

[oak crest]

this does not matter to me as I got 6 pities myself

and I feel offended as hell with that rally rewards

if we can send that reward back i would send it back with a message full of profanities

[tardy fiber]

I did defend them on rally part 1, but part 2 made me like a joke

Well I don't know what the reward will be back then

[oak crest]

when i saw that part 1 was this bad

i was alrd worried

but i just didnt said it out in case others said i jinx it

end up it really came true

wtf

[tardy fiber]

I thought part 2 will be 30 general/region tix and 3k gems

[oak crest]

it actually is worse in fact

cos i was pissed when i saw the reward

1 word: insulting

[tardy fiber]

Seeing the xwitter replies will be fun, but im too busy today

[upbeat lotus]

they treated the last VA like this

[ashen thunder]

When playerbase asks for more coins and Dena just releases more coin types instead

[tardy fiber]

It will be hard for nemona havers

Im lucky that victor is free 5/5

How to candy when the month only give 2 sprint coins and not 10

They need to use yellow candies or get dupes

[ashen thunder]

They knew not many people would roll for victor so they just gave him an underwhelming kit and made it free

This is worse than being nate tbh

[tardy fiber]

Victor is pretty good although his tm looks bad...but 450 spatk on level 150, zone stuffs, max move, sync multiplier

All stuffs are nice

Oh haze

Still a bad tm

And a joke mudshot maybe try to follow hapu mudsdale as both horse

[ashen thunder]

I mean

I'd still use supp ex

The sync has like only 1 50% multiplier and is st

Other than dmax turn skipping with ssrcyn for zone in team, I can't figure out an actual niche for him

and allister does it better

[tardy fiber]

I can use him with sskorrina, while ssrcynthia and annilillie on another team...for Gauntlet...or even ssrcynthia with him for ghost zone for days

[tough oriole]

The field ex boost is better than supp ex for battles that end by second sync

Field ex is 2.25x boost (1.5x multiplicative from field, 1.5x from sync buff), while supp ex is a flat 2x

Assuming you didn’t already have a field

[ashen thunder]

Here's the thing

I already have ghost zone

[tardy fiber]

Thanks Winston...im bad with calcs

[ashen thunder]

It's even a fav

[tardy fiber]

Well not like victor cost gems

So no problem

[ashen thunder]

Wdym

[tardy fiber]

Victor is free

[ashen thunder]

He literally ate the 10k+ gems

From this patch

[tardy fiber]

So you better work him up to do 10k gems of work with that mindset

[ashen thunder]

If they don't give free PF selector, I am bombing their HQ

But

[tough oriole]

As someone who skipped rcyn, its nice to have an alternative ghost zone setter

[ashen thunder]

He's worse than fantina

[tardy fiber]

[ashen thunder]

Ill test him out if his dmove one shots sides offtype post supp ex in zone

If it doesn't, I am canning him forever

[tough oriole]

How much strength do you normally take? I can calc it for you

[ashen thunder]

Hmm Lemme check

[tardy fiber]

I am optimistic to see more future field pairs than sprint pairs

Field effects are nice

[tough oriole]

Limited gacha field pairs will be kinda weird, but more accessible ones will be really nice

[ashen thunder]

+10 str most cases

[tardy fiber]

Koraidon and miraidon sounds like future field pairs with their sun and elec terrain on entry

Although it might take 10 months to form a candy if we only get 2 coins monthly

[ashen thunder]

I dunno if I'd even roll miraidon if it doesn't drop for electric HS

[tough oriole]

He does with the max phantasm tile
(Vs 108 defence, it does just under 12k)

[ashen thunder]

Oh, that's actually good

Coz I've been syncing with cynthia instead of supp ex for turn denial all these times

This makes him worth

[tardy fiber]

Work him out to gain 10k gems difference from him

[tough oriole]

The nice thing is that his tm can be used to buff an ally
It’ll be nice for fantina, shauntal, or giovanni

[ashen thunder]

Eh it depends

Most good special supports are limited

[tough oriole]

He can sacrifice his own damage to help an ally’s

[ashen thunder]

If you don't have any of those, he'd want to use the buffs for himself

I wish drasna was just a support
Dragon didn't need it's 200th dps

[tardy fiber]

His ghost zone is more reliable than Sclillie will ever be

[ashen thunder]

Watch HS players rely on it super hard for ghost event

[tardy fiber]

Zone and max move help elevate Victor more...if you just gonna shadow balling...its better to just use fantina and helena

[tough oriole]

Definitely kinda interesting that they gave this kinda kit to Spectrier

[tardy fiber]

Im still amazed that they give this kit to a free pair

They can make him a variety banner and i will pull him

If with this kit

[ashen thunder]

Its to let shadow rider calyrex outclass him later

[tough oriole]

Expedition Uniform Gloria ftw

[tardy fiber]

Oh right Victor is a base 5*...not like mistyduck and others which are base 4* pairs i just noticed it

Crap it becomes italic

[ashen thunder]

It also means if you clown and only get 1/5, you need to spend 5* candy

[tardy fiber]

5* yellow candy

Kinda doubt you will form field candy soon

[ashen thunder]

Victor is our best free 5* event dps as of now

Just like how SSTred is best limited tech unit in the game

Which implies victor same tier as SSTred

[tough oriole]

Victor is the best field unit too

[tardy fiber]

Can we include legendary adventure pairs?

[ashen thunder]

Event dps

[tardy fiber]

Legendary adventure are events too

[ashen thunder]

Were*

[tardy fiber]

Best team up pair probably

He is a team up

Like mistyduck and others

Bugscyther supposed to be one

[ashen thunder]

Eh I still think Smisty is best

So best team up field or dps unit

[tardy fiber]

Ok this is true, pretty sure he is better than bluecanine

[broken mulch]

Yep.

[ashen thunder]

Blucanine is like half the atk and se reliant multipliers so yea
He might have slightly higher damage but dmax outweighs it all

So victor best free event dps

[warm scarab]

So how do you guys prioritize when there are so many favorite in one month

[ashen thunder]

Depends on gem count

[warm scarab]

Annd Anni around the corner

[ashen thunder]

And whether they are PFs/MFs

[latent salmon]

decide who's the most fave

[ashen thunder]

If you have "too many favs" dropping in one month, that means chances are your fav list is the problem

[oak crest]

if all else fails, which is a better char in terms of meta (only if you still cannot decide after so many filters given above)

[ashen thunder]

It's also better to revisit it before making decisions

[warm scarab]

Kris Leon red gloria Lyra

[latent salmon]

||my personal experience this datamine, but i was woefully unprepared for triple johtrio. it took a LOT of back and forth with myself but eventually i decided Kris > Ethan > Lyra||

[oak crest]

lol 4 of them are in this month, tough choice u gotta make

[ashen thunder]

There's Defo someone among them who you like more than others

[latent salmon]

Kris and Lyra banners extend to way past datamine, I'd recommend waiting first for that before pulling them

[warm scarab]

Ok

[latent salmon]

*that is, if you'd want to at all after datamine

You can lower it down to only Leon, Red, and Gloria you have to worry about right now

[oak crest]

Anni kinda confirms pauLoser tho

[latent salmon]

Wait, rlly?

[oak crest]

u see the way they word it

[ashen thunder]

Paulo is easiest skip ever

[oak crest]

4th anni will be another VA

the dev letter

[latent salmon]

Paulo. PAULO.

[oak crest]

pauLOSER

[ashen thunder]

But it also means chances for Lear alt

[oak crest]

i will go for Lear

[latent salmon]

oh no wait this means he could be the one to defeat giovanni OH GOD OH NO

[oak crest]

will he tho lol

[latent salmon]

theres the obvious choices (silver and red) and then theres the one no one wants (pauloser)

[warm scarab]

Does this happen to you guys? I had eusine. Then I pulled ss lysandre. Then pretty much eusine sits on the side line

If I pull gloria cinderace. My charizard will sit on the sideline lol

[ashen thunder]

There's no way Paulo is actually beating Giovanni

[latent salmon]

i'd say plan ahead who you wanna pull, or you end up with something like that.

[ashen thunder]

[oak crest]

hmm for me it kinda depends, some yes, some no

like how I pulled CHop but I still used SC Diantha with SSACynthia on CSMM

[ashen thunder]

Oh yea there's also chance for red with mega M2 x

[latent salmon]

dena can't do this to us, right?

[ashen thunder]

[latent salmon]

surely dena will follow through on silver's character arc

right?

[oak crest]

i really cant see him beating Gio unless its actually Hoopa Unbound that does it

in that case I give the credit to Hoopa Unbound, not him

since that is not even his pokemon to begin with

[latent salmon]

the entire paulo va will just be hoopa unbound being the actual competent villain

[oak crest]

until Lear comes in and disciplines him

[ashen thunder]

They can revamp entire psychic roster with MF Lear+hoopa unbound and MF red+mega M2 x

Paulo can cope with a PF dusk lycanroc or smth

[latent salmon]

nah, rockruff

variety paulo and rockruff

[oak crest]

[ashen thunder]

Give him rock impact for sync

Perfection

[latent salmon]

it's perfect in the narrative too

bro's incompetent

[gloomy holly]

Nah, give him Ekans

[tardy fiber]

Often, like my lysander is on the side lines after i got ssethan, annisteven on sidelines after smliza, sslysander on the sidelines because i like to use sskris, eusine, archie in one team more

Thats why chase faves > meta

So you wont be sad even if some got sidelined

Well at least there's gauntlet and later highscore event that could use the sidelined pairs

Oh lear, Giovanni also got sidelined

Sslusamine got elevated back as she with sslana activated more theme skills

Also more alola spirit bonus

[warm scarab]

Yea I think just hearing you guys it's helped

Just trying to plan who I need for the typing

[ashen thunder]

I just run offtype stuff

[warm scarab]

I think Lyra would be nice but I can't see how that will benefit Adaman that much since he is already broken

[ashen thunder]

Whotf cares abt typing when most optimal ssmay team is with adaman and ssacerola

[warm scarab]

But it would be cool to get something with grass terrain...

[oak crest]

sometimes its easier to off-type

[ashen thunder]

I've been running same 6 teams for CS for past 7-8 months already

[warm scarab]

Yea I mean if I had ssacerola I won't want to pull celebi

[sturdy hatch]

If you want recommendations for who to pull and unit meta comparisons, I would suggest #916852389347196958

[oak crest]

yea

[ashen thunder]

Ontype can be done with stuff like fucking Mina

So rolling for 17 different zone bots and 4 bar dpses is kinda

[tardy fiber]

Gladion is my fairy damage dealer

Well he will be till enamorus, magearna, scream tail, iron valiant

Not gonna pull non faves

My last non fave pull was palbea and palmarnie

[ashen thunder]

My best fairy zone team doesn't even run fairy dps

Wow vantner rolled that valentines

Wasn't that the same half anni with like 3 legendaries

[tardy fiber]

Oh i might allow myself to get Az Eternal Floette... although thats high hopium for it to be playable

[ashen thunder]

Also zygarde mf

[tardy fiber]

Got tempted because palmarnie can boost solgaleo, gloria, hop and palbea for hleon back then

Then i realise, i not gonna spend candy and ex them

[ashen thunder]

[tardy fiber]

So why the heck i even pull in first place

[ashen thunder]

But vantner

Irida could boost your hleon as well

Why did you skip her

[tardy fiber]

Because i learn from those palentine

Not to pull non faves

Since that time, i no longer tempted of non faves

Last time i checked glaceon isnt a legendary, mythical, UB, paradox

So irida is a skip

[ashen thunder]

Ice cream more legendary than ice cat

[tardy fiber]

Well back then i still got tempted

Isnt palbea on 2023

[ashen thunder]

Oh yea
Where your lkiawe?

[tardy fiber]

2022

[ashen thunder]

Isn't arcanine legendary pokemon

[tardy fiber]

Nah arcanine is pokedex name only

But not classified as same group

So skip

[ashen thunder]

Yea palbea was last year

I was so happy that I managed to skip em

Coz the very next month bombed us with zygarde

And then Morty with drip costume

[tardy fiber]

Well lucky i realise early, if not i will even pull sc ingo due to zone temptation

Thankfully DeNa release fave sshilbert

Bug rebuff lets goo

No zone no problems

[ashen thunder]

Well it's already super effective so no need zone or rebuff anyways

[oak crest]

tbh i went for SSHilbert because of his ability to cover 4 other typing on top of bug

[ashen thunder]

If you need zone, rebuff and busted MFs to beat ontype content , it's skill issue

I had to skip sshilbert coz I wanted to save for Xmas units

[tardy fiber]

I got him because he is bug, well because i know there will be plenty future faves that cover the same type sshilbert does

[ashen thunder]

And skipped Xmas units coz frogs

I might try Xmas and NYs this year as well

[tardy fiber]

Like the only unreleased bug fave that i can cope is Slither wing...well if he not ended up as fighting

So bug type genesect is a blessing

[ashen thunder]

Well genesect is always known for being bug type

[tardy fiber]

Well dena can also release shiny genesect, buzzwole and pheromosa i suppose...make em bug

[ashen thunder]

Due to technoblast

[tardy fiber]

Technoblast is normal

It can end up steel type

[ashen thunder]

Wait, there's steel discs?

[tardy fiber]

Is there bug disc?

[upbeat lotus]

there are only Fire, Water, Ice and Electric disc

[ashen thunder]

[upbeat lotus]

Techno Blast is Normal otherwise

[ashen thunder]

Huh

[upbeat lotus]

in this game Gilbert has Bug Shift

[ashen thunder]

So there's steel genesect totally possible

[tardy fiber]

Yep

Thats why i said bug genesect is a blessing

[ashen thunder]

I always thought there's a bug disc for some reason

[tardy fiber]

[ashen thunder]

Goddamnit
Colress and shiny genesect might end up as steel type

[tardy fiber]

True

[ashen thunder]

I might have to put Hilbert in my priority list
Albeit at the lowest

[tardy fiber]

There's plenty of steel faves...but bug faves there's only buzzwole, pheromosa, genesect, slither wing

So im happy that genesect is bug here

Still hopium for more poison faves

[ashen thunder]

Yea a lot of recent legendaries are steel types

[tardy fiber]

There's only fall iris for now

Shiny eternatus poison please

[ashen thunder]

Eh I doubt rolling any poison type except shiny naganadel if it happens

I might roll oleana since she doesn't use a galar unit

But anni soon so

[tardy fiber]

There's also iron moth

Oh right seems like the Teal Mask dlc trio got toxic chain ability...so they might be poison

Oh nihilego too

[ashen thunder]

There's poison weak stage on CS btw for last week

Added sshilbert in my list

Now I have to hoard harder

[tardy fiber]

Gonna hopium for nihilego or shiny eternatus

[mossy hawk]

Also ice

Kyurem White

[tardy fiber]

Ice hurm...i got kyurem, black kyurem, calyrex

Well i dont mind

There's only 3

[ashen thunder]

I need a dps for irida so that works if it happens

[mossy hawk]

Please no water or grass, we have enough

[ashen thunder]

[tardy fiber]

Its not as stacked as psychic with 10 faves

[ashen thunder]

Plz no dragons or fire either

Also no electric

I am sick of those

[tardy fiber]

I don't mind electric, i only have zekrom and tapu koko

[mossy hawk]

Could be because of the next high score

Miraidon copium

[ashen thunder]

Well I am walled in electric high score due to lack of tank , not coz dps tbf

I wouldn't mind electric support that drops rebuff or smth

Plz not dps

There's too many of those already

[tardy fiber]

Chatelaine Dana Zapdos elec teamwork

Support

[grim plover]

early august dev letter! and the final chapter of the VA is in the anniversary

[tardy fiber]

I will grab Paulo if its hoopa Unbound

Heck i will grab anyone with hoopa unbound

[ashen thunder]

I am skipping psychic dps and setters
Unless it's mega M2 x

We already have too many of those

[tardy fiber]

I will still grab psychic if its a fave, like if they release Necrozma non fused, i will grab due to its sleek design and coolness

[grim plover]

the only fav PT setter i have is regular bede so i hope paulo & hoopa-u sets it

[tardy fiber]

[ashen thunder]

I have Bianca, anni may and sslana so

[tardy fiber]

More psychic faves = more team to beat terrakion in gauntlet

Iron leaves will also probably be psychic

Robo deer

[grim plover]

also what is this social rally 💀

i hope nobody retweets it

[flint turret]

the selectors for august should only be the datamined ones, right?

i'd really need a strong fairy striker, so GRapidash would be my choice

[vestal leaf]

Yes, they're themed around roles

Striker, support and tech

[flint turret]

perfect

ny lisia it is

(unless one of the anni units is a stronger fairy dps lel)

[round light]

Since 2 new roles added.. 5 pairs for anni?

[grim plover]

hm the johto trio kinda fullfills the basic roles, so anni units could be just 2 for the new roles

[unkempt vortex]

That just means it’s an easier skip

[vestal leaf]

Depends on character, Mon and kit tbfh

Imagine if there's a sprint unit with adrenaline 2 on top of ex and actually good utility or DPS

[ashen thunder]

That's just lear

[vestal leaf]

And it's a fave

His utility and DPS ain't that good

[ashen thunder]

Adr 2, 3 sync Accel and does nuke

Wdym his dps ain't that good

He has as much dps as cerena

Without rebuff

Both 500 atk 150 BP 1 30% multiplier gang

[vestal leaf]

Yeah but cerena has rebuff, mf passive and her utility is better

+6 team speed, long animation, 2 gauge move, more debuffs

[ashen thunder]

Lear has 5 stage Accel, rising tide nuke

Iirc nemona with all that multipliers still doesn't outnuke him

Coz 1.5x tech multiplier is too big

Sprint ex should have been -6 or even -9 tbh
-3 is so little value

[oak crest]

If they have adrenaline grid maybe

[grim plover]

-9 is basically a support sync so idts, but agreed it should be -6

[vestal leaf]

-6 would've been actually balanced yes

Supp ex remains undisputed

[ashen thunder]

Supp ex->tech/strike ex

[tardy fiber]

I will wait for more sprint pairs to get a clearer picture...so far its vague based on nemona kit like, better to do support sync...well a mega or form change sprint might be nice as there's more benefits of syncing first than just adrenaline 3, no questions for field pairs...victor already shows a good example

[cobalt frost]

one thing im looking forward to this anni is new bp pairs

[ashen thunder]

I like victor more for dmax than the sync

[grim plover]

if victor had a real sync multiplier he would be really really good

[tardy fiber]

There's this

[grim plover]

i really like the zone right before sync + extension, it's comfy

[ashen thunder]

Only 50% multiplier

[tardy fiber]

Good to use with sskorrina

[ashen thunder]

It's like leon sync

[cobalt frost]

i have a feeling they'll add another of the battle chatelaines as a master bp, field maybe?

[ashen thunder]

Except single target

And coming from 60 less atk

[grim plover]

[ashen thunder]

[mossy hawk]

If you are already using him with her, you won't sync with Victor

[tardy fiber]

There's also zone boost

[grim plover]

you can sync with victor while you're setting up korrina

[ashen thunder]

I am using him with renegade cyn and bring supp ex

He'll deny left side with dmax

[vestal leaf]

Yeah brain sync is annoying

But at least he gets scorching 5 too

[tardy fiber]

I will sync with victor as he will refresh zone and extends

[vestal leaf]

And tech ex

[cobalt frost]

i guess i have 2 good ghost pairings now

Anni Lillie/NY Dawn for Damage
Renegade Cynthia/F2P Victor for Zone

[ashen thunder]

I am just gonna offtype as usual

My 5th worst offtype team is zygarde

And I doubt renegade cyn + victor ontype is better than offtype zone zygarde

[tardy fiber]

The only way i would use sprint is for sprint sync then support sync for fast 3 sync buffs...but i wonder if i can do all of that before the enemy dies in cs or before they sync

[cobalt frost]

im actually really glad they added new roles as the candy is spread out more

[ashen thunder]

Adr3 on a sprint sync unit so that it stacks with sprint ex

Maybe for future

[cobalt frost]

things that would be tech before will now be field and i get to save a tech candy

[tardy fiber]

Yep this is good for future than every pairs are tech

But only 2 sprint coins this month saddens me

I will be more happy when that amount increase

[ashen thunder]

We lived in a world where sslana was striker

Not anymore

I hope

[cobalt frost]

yeah its only an issue because they are added in the 2nd half

i assume

so over half the month they dont even hand them out

it will be better next month with near certainty

[vestal leaf]

It's a first time I'm pretty sure

In 4 years

[grand bramble]

What the... 25k gems???

Is that true

[cobalt frost]

yes and the rally has no gems

[tardy fiber]

Its less a problem if first sprint pair is like victor which is free, but nemona is limited

[cobalt frost]

for galar va part 2

[grand bramble]

What

[vestal leaf]

I really wish they were both free yea

[cobalt frost]

im ASSUMING theres gonna be gems for a paldea introduction rally but still i really hate that

[vestal leaf]

Especially because there's gonna be a nemona alt guaranteed

[vestal leaf]

I think we're only getting 3k for Anni

[grand bramble]

Is this the lowest we get for the whole year?

[tardy fiber]

So if you spend a pity and only get nemona 1/5, need to use 2 yellow candies for her...wait, she has 5/5 grid

[vestal leaf]

Which means they should put out 36k at least to be on par

In September

[tardy fiber]

Its lowest if 24k, now its 25k it is no longer the lowest

But lowest run up to anni gems probably

[vestal leaf]

Probably gonna end at 28, 31 if we're lucky

[cobalt frost]

as for anni, im not sure what they could even do at this point, like whats anni level hype at this point, im sure paulo might be getting added but would there be anything else?

[rare swan]

if they genuinely make Paulo an anni unit, I....

[grand bramble]

I see... The lowest run up

[rare swan]

surely they wouldn't be that stupid

[tardy fiber]

They kinda worded it like that

Paulo chapter on anni

[grand bramble]

Really... Paulo

[tardy fiber]

The bingo on 16th is to prepare us for final VA chapter

[cobalt frost]

i love video games

[grand bramble]

Prepare yourself guyz

[rare swan]

they just said last chapter, not that he's playable (thank god)

i'm more interested in that final villain chapter

[grand bramble]

I don't know if it is disappointing or what

[vestal leaf]

I will still take it better than JN ash tbfh

[cobalt frost]

wait i just realized its been over a year since ash was added to masters

[vestal leaf]

God I was pissed last year

Well he was an NPC til anni

[cobalt frost]

i remembered how much i was freaking out when he was in the files

[grand bramble]

Oh man.....

[cobalt frost]

i genuinely did not expect it at all

[tardy fiber]

Im happy last year, i only pull scRosa so i stock up a bunch of gems

[grand bramble]

Yeah... Same.. Time flies

[cobalt frost]

also, another thing to look forward to

... free pokefair.. right guys?

... please?

[vestal leaf]

I was shafted by SC rerun + Rosa

[vestal leaf]

No fuck that, because now that we're giving fairs 5/5 they're competitive so you need to scout them

[cobalt frost]

im likely going for any lodge unit if they have them

[oak crest]

U don't like him too?

[tardy fiber]

Same, gonna grab Steven if it happens

[cobalt frost]

the 5/5s are never neccessary

from what ive seen

3/5 is the most ive seen

5/5 is usually what makes it overkill

[tardy fiber]

Yep i only set 3/5 as my goal

For me, 3/5 is enough for the pair to do what DeNa design them to do

[grand bramble]

Maybe we get free Paulo pair after so long

[tardy fiber]

Just like annisteven removing weathers on 3/5

[cobalt frost]

f2p paulo would be really cool

but i kinda doubt it

we got our f2p unit for the half year in victor :(

[grand bramble]

Because his progression is SOOO SLOW and lame... Until the very end... Im kinda bored of the main story btw

[tardy fiber]

I hope VA final chapter introduces Pasio region tag

More value for MC pairs

[cobalt frost]

ah yes
the one with 4 users

[grand bramble]

So...did nemona has the Paldea tag??

[oak crest]

Has it

[grand bramble]

Is it confirmed?

OK I see

[cobalt frost]

paldea is not a tag yet

[tardy fiber]

Probably, one of her theme skills is hidden

And its on region slot

[oak crest]

But they kinda hide it until paldea gets more trainer

[cobalt frost]

will likely be added once a 2nd paldea unit is added

[sturdy plank]

i would be happy if they make anni paulo
so i can skip him

[grand bramble]

OK I see now

Lol

[tardy fiber]

Paulo probably just gonna take ScRosa last year's slot

So the 3 anni MF remains unchanged

[oak crest]

The only way Paulo ends up in my roster is if he's free

If not

🚮

[sturdy plank]

or somehow get him randomly in a select

[grand bramble]

Still salty about the gems count... You guyz alright??

[cobalt frost]

the variety scout lillie and alolan ninetales on the table:

[oak crest]

[broken mulch]

Select is paid only right

Never gonna get it lol

[oak crest]

I'm pissed with the rally

Insulting rewards

Might as well not have it

[sturdy plank]

yes

[tardy fiber]

I would mind if i got plenty faves this month but for now its alright...but i do pissed with rally part 2

[grand bramble]

I see haha.... Man

[tardy fiber]

Rally part 2 is a bad joke

[oak crest]

Other than that my gems are good for anni

[cobalt frost]

i wasnt pissed with rally part 1 as i assumed part 2 would have the gems

but now

[grand bramble]

I guess because of budget

[cobalt frost]

?

[grand bramble]

Nvm

[tardy fiber]

Same, i even backup DeNa during part 1

[oak crest]

I didn't say anything

[tardy fiber]

Now i feels betrayed

[oak crest]

Cos I had a bad feeling

But it was worse than I thought

[grand bramble]

Because dena decided to suck it all up

*sigh

[tardy fiber]

I thought part 2 will be 3k gems plus 30 general tix, so overall it will be better than past VA rally as it has additional 3 move coins

But gems change to 25 vouchers

And spirits

[grand bramble]

[unkempt vortex]

Soon they’ll change it to level cap drinks

[grand bramble]

Oh I hate it

I feel bad for yall

[tardy fiber]

Sprint and field drinks

[unkempt vortex]

Nah striker tech support drinks

[broken mulch]

They’ll change rally rewards to strictly be nuggets, evolution stones, sync orbs

[unkempt vortex]

[oak crest]

Don't be surprised if they do

I hope this rally fails

[unkempt vortex]

That must means more coins

And as we all know everyone needs more coins

[broken mulch]

We’re close to 10k

[grand bramble]

We need feedback because the gems are becoming lesser and lesser...

[tardy fiber]

I guess people still retweeting for the tickets

But funny that ticket is the first milestone

[unkempt vortex]

It’s a free character at best or a pu

[oak crest]

They are trying their luck

[tardy fiber]

While vouchers and spirits the later reward

Well 1 chance for drasna and olympia after next year anniversary

[broken mulch]

Would be funny if we reach the rewards then people undid their retweets lol

[cobalt frost]

i still have 6 chances for more shauna copies (decided to start saving up when they added shauna)

my thing is
"is everything in the ticket scout 5/5, if not, use"
"if they are, is there an upcoming spotlight coming next anni, if not, use"
"if there is, save"

[tardy fiber]

I still need 2 shauna, 1 gordie, 1 lucian, 2 colress, 1 hugh, 2 looker and 3 melony...well this is for 3/5

[hard wave]

I already do that

[tardy fiber]

I will remove my retweet after we got confirmation for 30 tix achievement

As i got no use for 25 vouchers and spirits

[cobalt frost]

im not even gonna retweet

i really hope we actually DONT get the 25 vouchers and spirits

[tardy fiber]

Thats why i will remove tweet after 30 banner tix

[cobalt frost]

fair

[gray sail]

Low gem count next month, boo.

Welp, saving must be done.

[tardy fiber]

Can we still copium for worlds or pokemon presents gems

Nah it must be free spirits

[gray sail]

Spirits.. these things I have too many of.

[tardy fiber]

Same

Got 3.6k unused

[cobalt frost]

1.4k atm

[tardy fiber]

I just realised, i have like 120 ...i thought its a lot, but if anni have 3/4 faves + 2 bp master units...all of it will be gone just like that

[vestal leaf]

Ehhhhh Cynthia and lance without 4/5 at least definitely feel very bad

The point is, why give a copy of units that are still good?

• DeNa

[hard wave]

I thought 3/5 was still rlly good for them

[vestal leaf]

Ehhhh

Lance especially struggles a lot imo at 3

[sand crown]

They are. But need a lot of support

[hard wave]

[vestal leaf]

Cynthia is okay at 3 but isn't that good

4/5 gives you also some fun options

[sand crown]

I’d say at 3 she is “useable”. Anything below and it’s not happening

[hard wave]

Isnt 4/5 just reducing his recoil

[sand crown]

All the fun stuff with Lance is at 5 but at 3, with handholding, he still is quite good

[vestal leaf]

^

He just needs a ton of handholding at 3

And ybh 1/5 and 3/5 don't even work that differently

[sand crown]

To date I have yet to see a 5/5 considered necessary in the sense that you can’t clear major content without it being there

[vestal leaf]

The only reason I 4/5 Cynthia is that slash has so much funny shit

[sand crown]

I think it most benefits one or two units - my picks are Cynthia and SS Hilbert

[hard wave]

I mean 4/5 doesnt help his self sufficiency right?

[hard wave]

I forgot what cynthia gets

[sand crown]

Not at all no. For me it’s 1, 3 or 5

[vestal leaf]

6 fucking skill procs on one move look so hilarious

[vestal leaf]

Yeah, 1/5 lance is 80% as good as 3/5

But 3/5 is less than 50% of 5/5 strenght

[hard wave]

Ah alr

[vestal leaf]

Which means imo it's 1/5 or 5/5

Not much reason to have in-between imo

[sand crown]

I’m a 5/5 Lance owner I feel you. He is amazing

[hard wave]

Tbh if a unit needs 3/5+ to be good id rather not use them unless they are someone I want to candy

[sand crown]

But that’s because I’m a superfan or I would have never done it

[hard wave]

Like for LG and other stuff if I need to sure, but like CS ill use someone else

[vestal leaf]

Yeah 5/5 are for biggest faves

Or units you got lucky on

Which is why I have only 2 (cyn at 4, SSLeaf at 5(

I'm so happy fairs became less interesting with time

[hard wave]

I only have SSB 5/5 || I pulled 3 copies after giving him a candy, since I finished 3/5ing ss kris and at the time those 2 were my only limited supports ||

[compact pasture]

We’re getting 25K?

[vestal leaf]

Yes

[tardy fiber]

I got 2 4/5, well that's because i got them accidentally while doing select scout for other pair

[vestal leaf]

Oh I forgot

I also have 4/5 gloria

Because best girl

And cool 4/5

[rare swan]

5/5 is usually very much not recommended, yeah

unless you're unhinged like me and do it for love of the characters

[gray sail]

Yep, my one 5/5 is a character I really like though not the greatest.
I don't remember how I did it though..

[tardy fiber]

Victor spectrier will be my first limited 5* 5/5 fave

[ashen thunder]

My long-term goal is to have 5 busted teams with 5/5 units

And with main focus with atleast one of em in that team being a fav

[tardy fiber]

My goals are:
-to get all playable faves
-to 3/5 all faves
-to form a good enough type faves team, still lacking for poison, fairy, normal, dark, bug
-to 5* all non eggmon pairs
-to 5* shiny eggmons

Top is more priority, bottom is lowest priority

[ashen thunder]

My short term priority is just to have a workable comp for each region in ebe without offregion stuff

So far only johto and galar are incomplete

And soon paldea

[tardy fiber]

Oh right, i should put to 150 all faves on fourth point

I cannot even form kanto faves team, theres only oak and gio

Kanto and unova also have zero support faves

[ashen thunder]

Well I have supports atleast I feel for both regions

Dps is the problem

Coz SSmorty and Sonia are strong enuff

Ethan doesn't look super strong dps flexible enuff for EBEs so that makes him a ez skip

As for galar, I don't like many Pokemon so

I would gamble for oleana if anni wasn't close

[tardy fiber]

I still lacking dps for fairy, poison, normal...dark lack good physical damage, same with bug

[ashen thunder]

But it is what it is, gotta skip when no gems

[tardy fiber]

Thats a good mindset

I will also skip if got no gems

But fortunately, i doesnt need to resort to that

The closest save is zerena, i got her via pity 3 days before her banner ends

[ashen thunder]

I hope there's atleast some glimpse of what's for anni before her banner ends tho

Coz if anni is underwhelming that would be painful skip

Since galar roster is hardest to improve in general

[tardy fiber]

Can only hopium for worlds reveal before oleana expires

But many speculate it will be nemona and victor reveal instead

Well they for sure will show something on pokemon presents

But iirc that happens near datamine anyway

So oleana is long gone

[ashen thunder]

Well they usually reveal smth during run up campaign

[tardy fiber]

Fingers crossed for early august dev letter

They said about it

Just hope that there's anniv stuffs

[ashen thunder]

Coz I vividly remember failing to get the free selector unit last year which was part of run up campaign

But we still haven't gotten any info on selector yet

[tardy fiber]

Oh thats for welcome ash

They reveal ash at worlds

[ashen thunder]

Year before also had a selector

So it's a anni thing

[tardy fiber]

I thought they only give free select on welcome ash and run up to half anni

During galar birbs

[ashen thunder]

Kanto victory road was anni 2

So it's technically a selector for anni

Albeit perma

[tardy fiber]

Oh victory road is a permanent content

So i kinda wonder if that counts

[ashen thunder]

It should right

[tardy fiber]

I hope there's a free select, i will get steven from it

[tardy fiber]

Well there's only kantrio in it...while others have bunch of pokefairs

Old pokefairs

[ashen thunder]

It's still an anni implementation, like most gachas that release free stuff

Each selector tend to get more and more stuff

To keep up with powercreep

[tardy fiber]

Well that one becomes permanent, newbies cannot get welcome ash and run up to half anni select

So kinda different a bit

Even if i create account today can also get victory road

[ashen thunder]

Well none of the selectors tend to be permanent from my experience in other gachas

[tardy fiber]

Victory road is permanent

[ashen thunder]

Only gacha that has perma 5* selector is fgo and they stopped doing new 5* selectors

And went back to 4* units

But we don't have 4* limited units

[tardy fiber]

Got

Bugscyther, rachel, sawyer

[ashen thunder]

Plz no

If I see a Sawyer selector

I am uninstalling

[tardy fiber]

They gave sawyer for free in the past

[ashen thunder]

Yes
But I don't want it as a selector over 5* PFs

Free one from missions would still be nice tho

[tardy fiber]

I might grab if there's jessie and james

[ashen thunder]

I already have em all

[tardy fiber]

Nice, im missing jessie and james

I dont mind missing lodge adaman and irida, or other non faves pairs...but missing pairs that are f2p in the past does stings

[ashen thunder]

Lodge is never intended to be F2P anyways

Especially when almost every new unit is a PF

Lodge is just : hey, the selector is pretty useless so I am picking lodge unit kind of thing

[tardy fiber]

Yep just i dont mind losing lodge adaman and irida due to they are both MF and non faves

Even if there's 10k gems MF select, still feel like its not worth it

Well 3k or 5k for a fave dupe sounds fine to me

[hard wave]

Normal is pretty useless

Unless just for fun

[tardy fiber]

I want my normal Regigigas and arceus

[hard wave]

Regigigas will be support and arceus will have type change gimmick

[ashen thunder]

No, they both will be supports

And Arceus will have rebuff and zone effect depending on enemy faced

[tardy fiber]

So field role Arceus

[ashen thunder]

While regi will have sync accel based gimmicks

[oak crest]

i see

[ashen thunder]

It's totally possible

[tardy fiber]

Sprint Regigigas

[oak crest]

field and sprint types

[ashen thunder]

A lot of Arceus forms were disruptors

[tardy fiber]

It does sound fast

Sprint Regigigas

[ashen thunder]

Due to that funny 120 speed and 120 defenses

Regi being sprint would make sense

Coz slow start

Once it starts, it goes full sync Accel mode

Like how they reversed defeatist into actually giving more damage for archeopes

[tardy fiber]

Not sure if i got other normal faves than those two...well i can still copium for playable type: Null...lodge gladion type null

[broken mulch]

18 different types of Arceus

The normal one will be bonkers haha

[tardy fiber]

Oh i guess i can hopium for dlc turtle to be normal

Terapagos or something

[ashen thunder]

I am still wondering how they gonna implement terastalization

Probs like mega?

[broken mulch]

…. Oh man it’s gonna be field

[tardy fiber]

Probably a button like max move, just its not single use nuke like max move

It changes type, and change one of the move to tera blast

Plus 1 more tera type attack move

Tera gonna be so budget friendly if its like that

[ashen thunder]

Okay so next anni gonna have a red that can terastalize a Pokemon

[tardy fiber]

Each pair can cover good enough for 2 types

[ashen thunder]

Well I personally don't like Pokemon that rely on coverage as best part of kit

Coz rly strong units be strong even offtype

[tardy fiber]

Well probably not all paldea pairs will have tera, as not all galar have max move

Oh right, nemona is a nice example

She doesn't have tera

[ashen thunder]

Nemona is the first paldea unit

Leon didn't have dmax on release either

[tardy fiber]

Just like gloria doesn't have max move

Gloria first galar

[ashen thunder]

Oh right

First dmax itself is like almost a year after first galar unit

[tardy fiber]

Galar birbs doesnt have max move eventhough max move is already a thing

[ashen thunder]

True

[tardy fiber]

Kinda why i think not all paldea will have tera, even when tera becomes a thing

Probably on those gym leaders first...like brassius sudowoodo

[deft glen]

Paulo and Arceus on Anni

god please no

[tardy fiber]

Inb4 paulo summon random legendaries in his chapter, and accidentally summon Volo or paradoxes

[deft glen]

Volo is really popular but he's an easy skip for me 😅

[tardy fiber]

I will grab if he is with giratina origin or arceus

I kinda like centipede giratina

[deft glen]

Zacian can't use dmax though

so any Zacian pair wouldn't have it

[tardy fiber]

Yep thats why i said not all Galar will have max move, even galar birbs doesnt have it...so terrastalize will be the same later

Not all paldea can tera and get tera blast

But tera will be nice though if its a long duration, type change that can be activated by just a press of a button like max move

Although max move is just sync move like damage on demand, but each tera pair will be like 2 pairs

So more type coverage with 1 pair

[versed flame]

i am thinking a lot about pulling ingo (real fave) but can't discount the possibility of favs showing up for anni... how likely is it that the datamine will come before the banner ends ?
current gems - just under 100k

[tardy fiber]

Ingo expires on 26th

So maybe we will get datamine

[oak crest]

we might get early preview on 1 of the anni pair

[tardy fiber]

Yep via presents

Oh right, last year's august presents was early month

Hopefully there's 1 anni pair reveal

[oak crest]

for some odd reason there will be another dev letter early Aug also

(maybe for the first pair of Paldea)

[tardy fiber]

I wonder if thats for worlds

[oak crest]

no idea

[tardy fiber]

Worlds always early august right?

Presents that sometimes late, sometimes early

But still in August

[versed flame]

I'll probably wait for a possible preview then

but i still might end up pulling. if this was any month other than pre-anni i would've pulled him on the spot

trying to be cautious though !

[tardy fiber]

I also need to be more cautious after seeing dev letter

Anni might have 4 faves

I will grab if paulo hoopa Unbound really playable

[grim plover]

same

idk if he could be a MF but i think few people expected ash to be a MF

[tardy fiber]

The worst that might happen...3 anni MF (legendary, mythical, UB, paradox) and 1 pokefair paulo hoppa

[tardy fiber]

Might be MF if Pasio region tag becomes a thing

[grim plover]

hoppa is also a good candidate for a sprint pair

yee

[tardy fiber]

I like the new roles, but i kinda have mixed feelings if they release a bunch of them in quick succession

Especially when we still not seeing 10 coins for monthly average for their move coins

[violet nebula]

That has always been their biggest shaft

To encourage trying to summon for multiple copies

[tardy fiber]

Like victor is alright as he is f2p

But nemona is a limited

[violet nebula]

[tardy fiber]

Worse that might happen, will cost 3 pities to 3/5 her

[grim plover]

and with 5/5 grid

[tardy fiber]

Or spending your valuable yellow candies

[grim plover]

nightmare

[tardy fiber]

Need around 10 months to form a yellow candy if its only 2 coins per month

[sturdy flower]

huh

[tardy fiber]

Well like august only have 3 yellow coins

This is due to Gauntlet

Not every month has gauntlet

[sturdy flower]

so anni event likely won't have the tag Vantner

it will be VA finale

i read today's letter

[tardy fiber]

Paulo just probably gonna take sc rosa slot

So only 1 pair

[sturdy flower]

no, Paulo will be over

they mentioned finale after that

read the letter

[tardy fiber]

Yep playable paulo on anni so only 1 pair, 3 anni MF can still happen

So 4 limited pairs

On anni

[sturdy flower]

run up to anni is run up to va finale

[sturdy flower]

and now it's August

well not now

in few days

[tardy fiber]

Final VA chapter will be added at the end of August

Read

[grim plover]

yeah, at the same time of the anniversary

[tardy fiber]

The bingo is to prepare for final villain arc

[sturdy flower]

read

anniversary IS final villain arc

[tardy fiber]

Yep so playable paulo will take 1 slot, you expect there will be new gio alt , new lysander, new maxie alongside paulo?

Still got space to do anniversary event

[sturdy flower]

there definitely will be more than one unit

[grim plover]

makes sense a "Passio VA" (unless paldea VA)

[tardy fiber]

Yep then why you said anniversary pairs are dead?

[grim plover]

galar VA already is over

[tardy fiber]

This

[sturdy flower]

because they won't have the tag

they will be va themed MFs

[tardy fiber]

Well it can be like scrosa, scrosa released on anniv but she's not anni pair

So it might be just a playable paulo

And 3 anni pairs

[sturdy flower]

she released after anni

[tardy fiber]

She released on the same month

[mossy hawk]

Anni doesn't last the whole of September

[sturdy flower]

yes but after anniversary

[tardy fiber]

Last year's anni was ash, sstred, ssacynthia and scrosa

[sturdy flower]

there will be another event afterwards

maybe Paldea maybe Hisui

[tardy fiber]

Yep so not whole month will be paulo VA

[vestal leaf]

Her event had nothing to do with Anni tho

Or the Anni pairs

[mossy hawk]

Because it was 2 whole weeks later iirc

[vestal leaf]

Yea

She's not an Anni unit

That's what I'm saying

[tardy fiber]

They might release paulo for first 2 weeks and 3 other pairs on mid September

Fitting as johtrio will expire mid sept

[vestal leaf]

Would be a first

[tardy fiber]

As soon as johtrio ends, they shove new MF

[vestal leaf]

To have Anni units almost 3 week after the Anni date

[vestal leaf]

They didn't care before

Doubt they would now

Last year had 5 MF running on anni

This month has no Poma day MF

[tardy fiber]

Or they could release Paulo alongside anni pairs, just like ssleon with 2021 anni MF

[vestal leaf]

Makes me think they didn't wanna break the 5-6 MF number with it

[vestal leaf]

That's more likely

[tardy fiber]

The more likely scenario as i kinda doubt that plenty villain leaders will be released alongside paulo and like the VA is the big thing that is anniversary level thing

[ashen thunder]

I think it's gonna be 2 MFs with new roles and 3 PFs with existing roles

Coz I highly doubt SSTred and aura cyn can be outclassed for a while at all

So just release some standard S tier PFs and call it a day

[oak crest]

Team fistbump9

[tardy fiber]

Well Paulo could be a MF if they introduce Pasio region tag in VA conclusion

[oak crest]

that saves me 1 pity

[mossy hawk]

Why is Pasio tag important

[oak crest]

cos i wont pull

[tardy fiber]

Will pave way for pasio regional content and more original design characters in the future

Playable prof bellis

[grim plover]

2 MF ||sada and turo|| + 2 pokefairs paulo + ss lear, + free tina

[tardy fiber]

New OC the team break admins

New design badge leaders for pml 2

Plenty possibilities

[sturdy flower]

ss lear and punished Hoopa

[oak crest]

new rival too cos pauLo is too crap to be a rival

[sturdy flower]

Pablo and broken legs (MF)

[oak crest]

cant even take Ls gracefully

and dont even try to build his roster

[tardy fiber]

New plot after Paulo....Tina's revenge

[oak crest]

if he ever is in the main series

he probably is the only rival

who will only have 1 mon

everytime he lost

"omfg how i lost zomg"

[tardy fiber]

He changed a bit, he used rental pokemon from lear before hoopa

Tyranitar, gyarados and i forgot the other one

[oak crest]

in short, without Lear, he's nobody

[ashen thunder]

So

[oak crest]

[sturdy flower]

now he spams legendaries from alt universes without consideration that it might piss Arceus off

[ashen thunder]

Rent-a-pokemon
