Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[ashen thunder]

[oak crest]

and he wants to be a villian when he cant even build up his own team

ngl rental pokemon are just shortcuts to victory without the need to train ur ur own mons

[tardy fiber]

Iirc ||from the leaked cutscenes, all that he summons was bp master pairs like cobalion and regirock...but theres a random moltres, bp moltres for anniv confirmed ||

[oak crest]

and he still continues his L streak

[tardy fiber]

Flying Teamwork

[sturdy flower]

I'm hoping for Zapdos tank

for HS

[ashen thunder]

||Plz be support||

[oak crest]

that'll be funny

the mon he summons

[ashen thunder]

If moltres is dps

Ill suffer

[oak crest]

becomes sync pair with other trainers to beat him down

[sturdy flower]

i want evil Lusamine but might never get her

and even if I do it will be lame (Alt.)

[tardy fiber]

Kinda hope there's a new villain team for pasio after paulo VA ends, as team Break design looks stupid with those glasses

[oak crest]

what u mean

they look perfect

[sturdy flower]

more like lazy

[oak crest]

as clowns

[sturdy flower]

anyone can be evil puts on mask

[ashen thunder]

clearly evil

[oak crest]

the funny thing is

[sturdy flower]

meanwhile other teams do a spin and their design changes 180 degrees

[oak crest]

even after they promise not to create problems after 1st PML

they still continue to create problems

but Lear didn't banish them from Pasio

[sturdy flower]

just banish Pablo

[oak crest]

that guy deserves it

[ashen thunder]

The fact that VA is about to end and still no sign of Shelly is

[tardy fiber]

Lear doesn't even know which people are team Break members, they all have generic npc design...just remove glasses and they are gone

[oak crest]

jjust send him to a region with gyms

[ashen thunder]

Archie deserves his perfect support

Like what Maxie got

[oak crest]

(and he will continue his L streaks)

[tardy fiber]

Water rebuff Matt or shelly

[grim plover]

and that will be matt

[vestal leaf]

I mean Archie and Maxie got pacified

Cyrus is neutral

Ghetsus is doing something on his own

Lysandre too

Alola....lol

Galar will have rose be talk no jutsu'd

[ashen thunder]

Tbh I'd even take matt

Maxie got courtney

Poor Archie is alone

[grim plover]

but tbh the perfect archie support is ss brendan

[ashen thunder]

May doesn't even like to talk about him in lodge

[tardy fiber]

Kinda sad, i thought part 2 plot will be the guys bribing Rose with eternatus and 2 regis

Instead its cinderace and dragapult

[oak crest]

at least u can skip

[tardy fiber]

True

[oak crest]

and this month gem counts is bad

[tardy fiber]

Im thankful after seeing this month's gems

[ashen thunder]

They somehow managed to release a fire unit

[vestal leaf]

This only makes me think we're eventually getting two dlcs event for galar tbfh

[ashen thunder]

And it didn't change the meta fire comp

At all

[vestal leaf]

There's NO WAY

[ashen thunder]

[vestal leaf]

They're not putting out Peony

[ashen thunder]

Easiest gameplay skip ever

[vestal leaf]

And the two Regis

[ashen thunder]

Same for dragon

[tardy fiber]

||cinderace is more tempting as the only galar flying pair ||

[ashen thunder]

Bounce dps

Clearly a nate powercreep

[broken mulch]

You know I just had a thought. What if Sprint EX accelerates countdown based on the unit’s sync level instead of just 3

[oak crest]

well u got sLiza if region is not concerned

[ashen thunder]

Took 2 years to outclass him

[tardy fiber]

Her bounce got ssN related stuff

[vestal leaf]

Hey hey Leon hurricane + max flying carried me til Liza

[ashen thunder]

Except SSN is 300 BP monster

[grim plover]

ftp hell

[vestal leaf]

No please

[ashen thunder]

Flying Gloria is 200 BP clown

[vestal leaf]

200 BP but it gets -2 cd before the release

But can't release when you want

[tardy fiber]

I would rather have sprint sync add enemies sync move countdown by 3 instead of adrenaline 3 for us

[vestal leaf]

Overall an L

[ashen thunder]

Adr6 would have been perfect

Why adr3

Sssilver and Lear already does it better

[vestal leaf]

I would've liked an infinite adrenaline 2 or a one time adrenaline 6

[ashen thunder]

[vestal leaf]

Not this purgatory

[tardy fiber]

Enemies from 2 moves away from syncing becomes 5 moves

[ashen thunder]

Like sssilver is a recent pair too

[grim plover]

ss silver is like, the best sprint unit

[vestal leaf]

Infinite adrenaline 2 is at least an incentive to get adrenaline 1 on lucky and ramp EVERY SYNC

Adrenaline 6 once would mean you basically get almost support ex damage snowballing

This middle ground sucks

[maiden kayak]

i just realised maybe pre anni will have those bingo missions

[tardy fiber]

Adrenaline 3 kinda lack incentive...like i dont think i can use another sync without enemy syncs first...well maybe can if got plenty head start, but if use head start lucky skill might reduce damage due to no cs2 lucky skill

[hard wave]

Same roles as galar birds

[grim plover]

yeah it's a worse middle ground

[hard wave]

Imo should be
Articuno- special strike
Moltres- tech
Zapdos- tank/support

[broken mulch]

Do we have any legendaries that come in 5s?

[ashen thunder]

Plz moltres and zapdos both should be support and articuno for dps

[hard wave]

Sync with sprints so u can sync with ur tech strike or support faster

[hard wave]

Regis

[vestal leaf]

Message unclear, making zapdos sprint, articuno tech and moltres field

[broken mulch]

Isn’t that 6

[hard wave]

I keep forgetting the 2 new roles exist, despite just mentioning them

[hard wave]

Oh yeah nvm

[latent salmon]

message unclear, articuno support

[vestal leaf]

Regis are 6 yes

[vestal leaf]

That wouldn't be bad

[broken mulch]

Well I guess you can take out the master Regigigas

[vestal leaf]

We're kinda due ice supports lol

[broken mulch]

We do have ice cream

And uh

Iceball

[vestal leaf]

That's it

If Irida was support she would've been game changing lol

[hard wave]

Melapras and vlorelei

Thats it

[tardy fiber]

Yep but only adrenaline 3 though usually i pre sync with enemies are 2 move countdown behind from syncing...doubt adrenaline 3 could help me do second sync in that timeframe

[broken mulch]

Ohh right Melony

Forgot

Don’t have her lol

[hard wave]

Same

[hard wave]

Yeah, I think I like syncing with supports and KOing when I get to 2nd sync so ill just use the sprints that I like ig

Fields may be interesting

[tardy fiber]

Still good for long fights though probably like gauntlet

Sprint i mean

[hard wave]

Its basically ssac but one time use and right before sync, instead of post sync and unlimited

True

But I just do 10 and then grind cookies so

[broken mulch]

Expanded sync also means it lasts to second sync which is neat

[tardy fiber]

But this is based on 1 sprint pair kit, i might retract my statement if future sprint pair got bunch incentive by sync with them first than a support EX

Like a sprint that give team PMuN after sync

Or team SE buffs

Or have mega form with additional stuffs

[broken mulch]

Ah yeah more non damaging syncs would be interesting

[hard wave]

I think the sync effect itself is eh but other stuff depends on the pair itself

Like in general striker or support EX is more useful for CS imo

[tardy fiber]

Like no double support EX buff, but instead that pair give 3 pmun stacks or SE buff...that can compensate the absence of support EX

Even sync that give team stat buffs might be good, it will be like sycamore

Well so still got a lot of possibilities for sprint pairs

[vestal leaf]

I do second sync with 2v3 with 1/5 SS wally because of adrenaline 2+1 and head start 1

Lel

[tardy fiber]

So sprint need specific pairs to function in desired situation...i kinda hope it need less babysitting

[ashen thunder]

Sprint is just modern tech without the nuke

So they'll likely release a better version of deoxys speed soon enuff

[tardy fiber]

Thats why it need something in kit to compensate lack nuke

[ashen thunder]

Maybe even for anni

[tardy fiber]

Yes

Many more possibilities

[ashen thunder]

Nemona is just their playtest unit

Like how Steven was

Remember how every Y1 grid has so much expensive and useless shit

[tardy fiber]

If the pair got benefit by syncing first more than just adrenaline 3, it will be good

[grim plover]

it all depends on the kit after all. I think the new categories are because of the feedback of "too many techs" but they want to make them anyways

[ashen thunder]

Even SSred has shit placements in grid

Now they just more streamlined

[tardy fiber]

Well nemona got that benefit, pmun after sync but iirc its on 4/5 or 5/5 grid

Kinda steep sacrifice

Especially steep as we only have 2 sprint coins

[grim plover]

and after the first sync you dont want to sync with her

[ashen thunder]

I mean
Just imagine speed deoxys with 500 atk

That's what future sprint units mostly gonna look like

[maiden kayak]

they dont look like anni material

[tardy fiber]

Also new roles will give birth to many varieties...we can get 4th and 5th arcanine thats sprint and field

[ashen thunder]

Crobats

[tardy fiber]

Yep we got striker, support, tech crobats

Time for 2 more

[ashen thunder]

Cyrus and crobat

I wonder if lodge and BP gonna have the new roles

Coz we haven't datamined 4* candies for em

[tardy fiber]

Also mega sprint pairs, like we sometimes want to sync with mega pairs first to change form...so more benefit for sprint sync before support or others

Sprint mega scizor

[maiden kayak]

gonna exchange victor tix to pure

[tardy fiber]

Wait we can exchange it?

[maiden kayak]

to pure?

[tardy fiber]

If can, i can EX him day 1

[maiden kayak]

i think can be done

[tardy fiber]

Yeap

[maiden kayak]

why would u do that tho

when they give free 20 victor only

its like VA free units

[tardy fiber]

I dont want his custom PU to stuck in the bag, while need 10 login days to get all 20 PU

2 pu per day

[maiden kayak]

[vestal leaf]

Waiting

Many gacha players' most insufferable tribulation

[grim plover]

i want to 6ex him day want but i'll just watch the poce showcase while i wait for the PUs

[tardy fiber]

Need to wait 10 days

If you want to use custom PU

If can exchange the custom PU to general PU...i can EX him day 1 without having any of his custom stuck in the bag

[ashen thunder]

I won't even sync with him so I wouldn't mind waiting for it

[latent salmon]

invest the two you get every day

watch number go up

[tardy fiber]

I want to sync with him, he looks nice to pair with my sskorrina and ssrcynthia can pair with annilillie...thats 2 uxie Gauntlet team done

[fallen path]

i'll sync with him if he has unique sync move animation (i haven't looked at it yet)

[tardy fiber]

He have max move

[maiden kayak]

i mean

[tardy fiber]

So probably not

[maiden kayak]

its just 10 days lol

gem saving is harder lol

[tardy fiber]

Welp 1/3 month

[vestal leaf]

You're losing some poseruos

[tardy fiber]

[vestal leaf]

Powerups

Because I don't think the trade is 1:1

[tardy fiber]

I still got 130 unused, not counting vouchers

[maiden kayak]

130 is actually very little

[vestal leaf]

Sure, I just hate the idea of wasting resources

[maiden kayak]

with the amount of units coming

[vestal leaf]

That's how I got here

[tardy fiber]

Well i already EX and 5* 20/20 all of my faves

So no use for them

A bit lacking as i 5* 20/20 lodge pairs thinking that they will never get EX treatment

Unfortunately not

DeNa said no

Gave all of em EX at once

Oh 4* bp pairs too

I also 5* 20/20 npc pairs

Helena and the gang

So i end up with bunch of 5* 20/20 but just dont want to EX

Due to not fave

[versed flame]

crossed 100k!!! (finally got around to doing the raikou battles which were actually very easy)

[tardy fiber]

Raikou is easier than cobalion

[vestal leaf]

Raikou is almost too easy

[versed flame]

that makes sense raikou was like tissue paper ngl

[tardy fiber]

It got speed buff related stuffs, just debuff its speed to oblivion

[vestal leaf]

When soloing with tate I kept thinking there was something wrong with my damage

Lol

He's so squishy

[tardy fiber]

Terrakion not sure, i accidentally killed it with sinnoh E4...aaron, bertha, lucian

[versed flame]

i didn't even bother debuffing speed 😅 brute force bertha + emmet mostly handled it

[vestal leaf]

Terrak is actually annoying without terrains

Or without using busted psychics

[tardy fiber]

Oh right i haven't see ssleon EBE, hopefully its easy

Johtrio EBE is free gems as i got em all

[vestal leaf]

Two things

Fluid fortification and sides with wise entry

That's kinda it

[tardy fiber]

So Chop it is

[vestal leaf]

Yea

Or oleana

[tardy fiber]

But wise entry sides hurm

I skipped oleana because garbodor aint a fave

[vestal leaf]

Well chop is Phys

No worries about sides

[tardy fiber]

Well i can use hleon

Glacial spear does sick damage to all

Physical too

[vestal leaf]

For me it depends|| if I pull Leon right away or wait||

[tardy fiber]

Good luck galar VA pairs are harsh

They might expires without anni news

Also kinda low gem month

Hard to recoup if you pull something

Well 1 pity can be formed at least

If add anni month

And it also gives 25k gems

[unkempt vortex]

Don’t count on anni

At this rate it’ll be 20k

[tardy fiber]

Thats why i put low gem amount

[unkempt vortex]

maybe less

[grim plover]

you can wait, the dev letter hints a new message early august, who knows if there's a hidden pair there

[unkempt vortex]

10k anni here we come

[grim plover]

or a teaser for the anniversary

[tardy fiber]

Ok 20k

With this month's 25k

So 45k, more than one pity

[latent salmon]

0 gem anni here we come

[vestal leaf]

Yeah that's why

I'm definitely waiting til 12-15

[mental skiff]

That hidden pair is victor

[tough oriole]

The hidden pair is nemona

[upbeat lotus]

the hidden pair is bidoof

[hard wave]

Nope

In the exchange shop it doesnt show it

Iirc its only a thing when they rerun

[mental skiff]

Bruh what is the rate of prize pool reward... Why i feel like im pulling a seasonal rerun unit

[fallen path]

welcome to the box of surprises

[mental skiff]

This probably my most hated event

[fallen path]

i also didn't realize your comment meant you wanted to EX him day 1 (i was waking up lol). just wait it out, it's no big deal in the grand scheme of things

[grim plover]

remember that ss steven was locked behind a mid month datamine

[mental skiff]

Ss steven makes the month not that mid tho

revolutionize tech sync pair

[grim plover]

he's the tech dena always wanted to make

every role

[umbral meteor]

we have content alr datamined up till august 25

that time we had no content datamined after august 7-8

thats why ss steven was mid month update

[broken mulch]

As far as event type goes, I always hated doing the maps one more than the Gacha boxes

But that one was balanced with more story events that I liked usually so

[hard wave]

does that mean there’s a chance for a free select

[vestal leaf]

The lag in map events

[broken mulch]

… man that sure brings back the annoyance lol

[umbral meteor]

No

lol

I mean maybe

On anni

Not this month ofc

[fallen path]

i'm saving some paid gems for sept just in case there's more selects of units i'm interested in

[uneven pewter]

Keep in mind they might be hiding how many gems they are giving at anni

That might be pure copium though

Legit kinda surprised on everyone freaking out

We have a lame duck month of august

So pure savings

[vestal leaf]

Well a very likely present on the 8th definitely makes the 31k dream possible

[sturdy flower]

One piece (of 6k gems) is real

[sturdy flower]

i feel like they overestimate the worth of 5* PU, free EX for the horse and 30 of each region tickets to us, which lead to lower gems

i actually dont believe they did this maliciously this time around, rather a miscalculation of what we find worthwhile

i do enjoy doomposting tho, EOS SOON

[violet nebula]

This is the beginning....

Of the end

[sonic cobalt]

What we want.. are move candies.

[hard wave]

I mean can it be hidden for after the 25th or september

[violet nebula]

Dena wants a word....no

[hard wave]

Personally I have quite a few units to EX and a few spotlights still below 3/5 so I appreciate it, but gems would be nice too

[sonic cobalt]

The fact it’s only tickets and not actual powerups is annoying. I mean would it kill them to give us the resources to EX one pair rather than need another 15 to do so?

[timber wren]

simpler times

[vestal leaf]

Yeah those were the times

[hard wave]

15? they r only giving us enough for 1

[vestal leaf]

That and the first runs of the legendary adventures

[sonic cobalt]

Oh, my dumb butt forgot that it takes 20 tickets to convert to 1 PU. I was thinking it was 5 per PU and then remembered we’re not that lucky.

[sand crown]

Good ol days

[hard wave]

Imagine 5 per PU, that’s an EX a week

[sonic cobalt]

I mean 5 for the first five then it costs 5 more for the next 5, etc

[sturdy flower]

if they gave us one of the new candy each it genuinely would be a gesture of good will

[timber wren]

i’m really hoping we’ll get one each of the new ones for anni but it may be asking too much

[fallen path]

we'll be lucky to even get a coin of the new ones at this rate

[sand crown]

I'll be surprised if it's anything other than spirits or scout tickets

[violet nebula]

Maybe this is just a bad warm up

We will see what comes on the 8th

[fallen path]

gonna switch to the worst case scenario, that way i can't be disappointed

[sturdy flower]

when is the next letter? 8th or 16th?

[violet nebula]

8th

Most likely

[vestal leaf]

99% yes

[violet nebula]

So not long to wait

Maybe the pairs and gem count were bad on purpose

Cause they have said they looking to make it best anni ever, particularly as the VA culmination is on too

So who knows

[hard wave]

12k pokemon presents gift

[unkempt vortex]

Nah they’ll give even more scout tickets

[sturdy flower]

maybe best for their revenue

[versed adder]

hi jumping back here after a month to say thanks for getting me to save (among the other ppl) 😹 with victor coming out with a perfect kit for buffing shauntal (ghost zone, crit+spatk buff, on a roll spdef drops w/shadow ball) i can very happily say not pulling for cynthia was the best move i couldve made

tbh stupid dumb luck that it worked out this well for me but trust in gem zen ig 🙏

[timber wren]

we love a good success story

v happy for you!

[violet nebula]

We need more of this

And much less of I summoned

[tardy fiber]

Haha because im in your boat often...like i skipped scingo, sstred and sswally due to not a fave although they plenty meta, but then DeNa release my faves that provide bug rebuff-genesect, elec terrain-tapu koko and fairy zone-tapu fini

Perseverance pays off

[sturdy flower]

im still waiting for bug fave, but got my eyes on potential Heracross with Skill Link-like grid

[tardy fiber]

Greta uses heracross...not sure about bugsy, but i hope he is the one that will get gmax butterfree

[sturdy flower]

no please no Greta

[tardy fiber]

[sturdy flower]

Bugsy would be cool

give him a heracross pajama too

as his SS

the story could be that he's in a forest pretending to be one

and meets a wild one that Hoopa teleported to Pasio

or his Heracross ran away and he's trying to attract it (it's a female)

altho his isn't a skill link one

Greta's isn't skill link either and she uses hers only in the easier battle

[unkempt vortex]

Who’s bugsy

[tardy fiber]

Oh right aaron has heracross in his team

[unkempt vortex]

[tardy fiber]

Ok done checking, bugsy/aaron/greta uses heracross

[violet nebula]

Heracross when.....

[unkempt vortex]

Never

Pinsir take it or leave it

[tardy fiber]

Hope bugsy, noland, agatha gets in the future...they are already getting hit by sync damage nerf due to mega, at least give them EX to make it more worthwhile

[sturdy flower]

Aaron would be great

[tardy fiber]

Im still waiting for elite four faves, out of my 65 faves...none has elite four theme tag, that said, i also only recently get 3 gym leaders thanks to smliza and smtate

[unkempt vortex]

At the rate they’re going we’ll hit eos before then

[tardy fiber]

47 pairs left, well if minus naomi, kali, helena, jessie, james...so 42...3 more years

[unkempt vortex]

Copium

Plenty of gacha shutdown without finishing content

[tardy fiber]

I forgot acerola and bp master pairs so 48

Well we are close to 4 years, so i can copium i guess...many gacha eos without even reaching 4

[sturdy flower]

this game will EOS when they get an idea for a replacement

the TPC way

[tardy fiber]

But our profit just second to pogo iirc

So if something need to die, it will be cafe remix

Not sure with the success of poke sleep

It might be that instead

[grim plover]

no EoS before pogo colab

[sturdy flower]

i will eos the game myself if we get pogo collab

their models are so ugly even masters artstyle cant save them

[sand crown]

That's good to hear I think

[deft glen]

So true

No human in PoGo gets a good model

[tardy fiber]

But i kinda want spark zapdos, willow melmetal, candela moltres, blanche articuno

[sturdy flower]

waste of good pokemon

hoping we get an answer to Galar trio

also introduce Green

[unkempt vortex]

We’ll be lucky if they remember leaf exists

[sturdy flower]

depends if you like her

some will be lucky if they dont

i'd rather we get a Selene alt...

[tardy fiber]

Alola NC

[timber wren]

why not both. imagine a better world

[sturdy flower]

Selene and Shiny stickbug

[unkempt vortex]

NC was a mistake

[sturdy flower]

Selene and Zeraora

[tardy fiber]

Might be on December right? I forgot, frogs NC is on December i think

[sturdy flower]

might be, who knows

DeNa doesnt do patterns

they spin a bottle and ask the person it lands on a random idea which then gets translated through 30 languages and back to japanese

[unkempt vortex]

Remember there are pokefairs who haven’t had a single rerun yet

While some mf have had 2

[tardy fiber]

Ssleon and celesa

[sturdy flower]

Bugscyther is similar issue

they just kinda... forgot

[tardy fiber]

We are fighting ssleon in upcoming EBE yet still no rerun

[sturdy flower]

1800 gems right

[tardy fiber]

Oh thats for johtrio ebe

I think galar VA only 600

[sturdy flower]

o-oh

i would expect 2 EBE for both characters

or they just expect no one will get Leon

[tardy fiber]

Iirc weak mid to leon alt, and sides weak to gloria alt

[sturdy flower]

Johtrio EBE... i wonder if I should do them all with Silver again

[tardy fiber]

Im thankful that DeNa rerun their EBE

Usually they doesn't rerun EBE on VA rerun

[sturdy flower]

weird to see Johto rerun right before finale

[tardy fiber]

Probably because they are MF and EBE are good baits

[sturdy flower]

Leon rerun also had EBE rerun

i guess they just rerun all EBEs for not-25th-MFs

[tardy fiber]

First leonzard release event doesnt even have EBE

Its new

Old event but new EBE

Kinda hate that EBE because accuracy gimmick

Iirc this new EBE have wise entryx2, fluid fortification

[hard wave]

Which one?

[sturdy plank]

late november but still december content

[sturdy flower]

Kanto birds

[hard wave]

Oh

[sand crown]

I can't blame them for staying away considering some of her...fans. But I personally would be all for bringing her back

[tardy fiber]

Wow so things i need to be wary after anni are fall seasonal, also pokewar sc happens around those months, also possible NC event and then xmas

[unkempt vortex]

Leaf = male protag treatment

[sturdy flower]

i dont think it's even that, just not much popualrity

[tardy fiber]

Well at least last year's xmas, got 0 fave

[sturdy flower]

look Selene and Elio, and even Nate

hell, Blue has many alts but didnt get one in a long time either

Blue deserves a MF unit

[tardy fiber]

They did erase leaf's existence on kanto VA, we got lillie instead

[unkempt vortex]

Anni blue

[deft glen]

Zapdos

[tardy fiber]

Blue shiny mega mewtwo x

[sturdy flower]

Support Rebuff Zapdos

right in time for HS event

[tardy fiber]

Elec teamwork zapdos Chatelaine dana on anni

[sturdy flower]

i really think we will get another electric on anni, but at the same time the CS weakness doesnt match

[deft glen]

Can't wait to... skip him

[unkempt vortex]

Chatelaine

[sturdy plank]

i think we got both nc trailer and datamine on 28th? and then serena dropped on 30th, calem on dec 2nd

[tardy fiber]

Could be latter half of September pairs so it wont appear on cs weakness

Like scrosa, so it will be Juliana Miraidon

[sturdy flower]

Anni followed by NC, 5 MF

[tardy fiber]

Of course Juliana's first, she is a girl

Bye florian

[sturdy flower]

what about Florian (Female)

the fan headcanon

the crossdressing Florian

[unkempt vortex]

Dena would just drop 5 mf

[sturdy flower]

because you can customize to look like a girl

[sand crown]

5 MF would be tragic

[sturdy flower]

if they dropped 5 MF i think we wouldnt get any new one till february+

[unkempt vortex]

They’ll say it’s part of galar va

[tardy fiber]

Florian and Juliana voice actor will need to work hard, its hard to imagine those protags having more personalities

[unkempt vortex]

Gloria and leon alt were just bait

[sturdy flower]

not Galar VA, VA Finale + NC

[unkempt vortex]

TRUE

[sturdy flower]

finale will be maybe Giovanni, some "real" protag, maybe Lear, maybe Paulo

[unkempt vortex]

[sturdy flower]

hard to say

[unkempt vortex]

Gross Paulo

[sturdy flower]

Paulo is like killing the hype and revenue

[tardy fiber]

Armor mewtwo Giovanni on finale

[unkempt vortex]

He can stay in npc jail

[sturdy flower]

i'd love to see someone else have Mewtwo to face Giovanni

that's right Lillie

[unkempt vortex]

I love how everyone in the community collectively hates him

[sturdy flower]

do japanese players like him?

[tardy fiber]

Blue anni

[sturdy flower]

because EN i have never seen anyone who likes him

[tardy fiber]

I hate Paulo too, but i love hoopa unbound...so i not gonna let trainer factors stop me from pulling, like if i consider trainer and outfit, i would've skipped santaleon

[sand crown]

If Paulo is an anni unit you best believe that kit is going to be broken because they've gotta make up for the fact you're spending on Paulo

[sturdy flower]

Paulo should at least get a new outfit

[unkempt vortex]

It’ll be rockruff

All tech rebuff with debuffs

[sand crown]

Pasio Pride and Spirit

[sturdy flower]

better, sprint

[unkempt vortex]

Rock zone and field

[sturdy flower]

honestly, sprint's passive should activate on every sync

otherwise it's just... why

[unkempt vortex]

Wdym you don’t like wasting a slot for more sync instead of debuff or field effects

[sturdy flower]

acceleration is nice, but there are units who do it better while being techs

and they can let support sync

at least field can be justified

although there are passives available that overlap it

watch field get passives like SS Steven to have AOE sync

and stuff

so we are going to have the same thing but that takes different coins

field would actually be great if it had 3* and 4* characters

[broken mulch]

Watch Arceus have Omni EX sync effects lol

[sturdy flower]

Arceus always hitting super effective

especially if he's with Hisui character

[broken mulch]

AoE, 1.5x, double sync buff, field + extension, countdown acceleration

[sturdy flower]

they could balance it by making it B Judgement or something and limit the MP

[unkempt vortex]

This is striker erasure

[sturdy flower]

kind of funny that they wanted to bait us with new type compatible with new HS

but this is my reason of skipping

im not spending all my yellow candies

i will get Nemona on a rerun or something, they will for sure give her Terrastal later

still waiting for Nessa's GMAX

[tardy fiber]

Wise choice, it took a long time to form yellow candy...not like regular strike, tech, support

[unkempt vortex]

Can’t wait for coins to be even more diluted

[broken mulch]

Isn’t it already is

[tardy fiber]

At least see if the September coin rate are good enough for the new roles...nemona is still available iirc

[sturdy flower]

s-surely we will get more coins now

[sturdy flower]

doesn't matter, HS will be on September

[unkempt vortex]

2 coins per event

[tardy fiber]

Oh right, i gonna just aim for 180k for it. I hope Anni has some electric faves

Although field miraidon may cause some problems

I will only have 1 yellow candy

[sturdy flower]

field miraidon

electric terrain sleeper

field koraidon

sun (number 352352)

how will they even attempt to top Hau or Red

with a field unit that has weaker sync

[unkempt vortex]

That’s the neat part they don’t

[sturdy flower]

slap lodge

instant win

[tardy fiber]

I will like miraidon more, field koraidon will be like groudon in which sun only boost his attack but only fire moves for others

Well less an issue if we got more paradoxes

Especially if they have sun synergy

[broken mulch]

Assuming there’s no further incentive like better rewards past 180k and there aren’t new medals (like get to master rank two times), I’m just gonna go to 180k and stop

I honestly feel bad for the ones that couldn’t master water, it’s just gonna get harder

[unkempt vortex]

some people just dont care about the badge

[broken mulch]

Aye and I’m specifically talking about the ones that do care. Couldn’t being the key word after all.

[unkempt vortex]

surely the people that made it once wont do it again

[fallen path]

Well, about that

[hard wave]

Its going to suck getting the medal cuz many will prob just try and get a high rank again cuz they r competitive

[sturdy flower]

i probably will, but i wont go as far as for water

im just curious if top 1 will have Nemona or now

and if she made a difference

[vernal glade]

I don’t want a medal, only the rewards I’m not a player that grinds.

[sturdy flower]

it's not that much work honestly, comparable to doing csmm with really dodgy teams

but more fun depending on units

[hard wave]

Im just going for 180k, water is the one I have the most pairs of and I didnt get the medal

If I get it eventually tho idm

[tardy fiber]

What if they give 10

[sturdy flower]

they do, but will you really EX multiple units for that

[broken mulch]

Oh that’s right duplicate medals give those

[unkempt vortex]

if anything fire and grass i like the next best chance for medal goers

[broken mulch]

But I don’t think we can get it again

Since it’s General missions

Like the Villa medals. Can only get them once

[tardy fiber]

There's the red texts

[broken mulch]

Isn’t that for all medals?

[unkempt vortex]

only event medals

[tardy fiber]

Well need another medal to test that theory

But i not gonna tryhard electric, i only have 2 elec EX

[hard wave]

Coping that it’ll be the first 10k that dont have the medal or smth

[tardy fiber]

Even if there's dana zapdos thats only 3 faves and its not even EX able

[dark cliff]

What’s his buff do?

I was hoping for those on anniversary

I am fine with stoner Typhlosion lol

[rancid vale]

his expansion was tm all ramped up 2 head start 1 sync power flux and brain sync 5

[dark cliff]

Oh so he can do more damage now

[tough oriole]

(Well, regular ramped up, not all ramped up)

[dark cliff]

But is still glass?

[tough oriole]

I mean he was always somewhat tanky for a strike
Nothing much has changed with his bulk, but there are more bulky strikes now

[dark cliff]

Good to know

I regret not pulling for anniversary Skyla…my flying types are lacking in boost

[tough oriole]

Blue’s grid expansion, Kahilli’s grid expansion and the addition of Darach have all made flying much easier than before

[upbeat lotus]

Lodge Serena erasure

[tough oriole]

I was thinking of her but i forgor

[dark cliff]

The Toucan girl is actually useful?

[tough oriole]

She has a solid nuke ontype

I’ve used her several times to clear flying weak

[dark cliff]

Hmm 🤔 how about that

Learned something new

[tough oriole]

Most of the 3/4* gacha strikes are now pretty solid ontype
The only one i’d call bad is Wulfric (maybe Tate but he’s just harder to use, and Marshall is more geared for LG), and there’s Ghetsis to use for ice anyway

[junior trout]

tate is rlly good after expansion imo

just use an external trapper/confuser and he hits decently hard for a 2 bar move

[tough oriole]

It’s just that his nuke is kinda hard to max with cakewalk and interference sync, but his dmg is definitely solid

[junior trout]

yeah just dont use his sync 💀

he demands a lil too much, just go dps or nuke, not both

oh i forgot he has sde5 too

[uneven pewter]

Considering they have completely devalued the general pool of units by barely premiering spotlights, regional tickets become nothing more than extra 5 star powerups

Go for a selector down the road

It’s a fair, they come and go so often now don’t get baited into fomo

If anything it’ll show you what lasts what’s fleeting

[wind coyote]

yay 300 gems

my excitement knows no bounds

[broken mulch]

Ready for the new BP Master units at end of august

[tardy fiber]

I only have 1 ticket

Gonna cope for a free one again

[violet nebula]

Least the pools are getting updated

Only 1 BP ticket... 2k points to go

For 2nd... cope

[tardy fiber]

Im 9200 BP away from another rainbow ticket kinda hopium for a free ticket on anniv

[clever oyster]

ugh...I really really REALLY should have NOT gone with the SS May banner for the pity 😦

the only thing I am starting to feel for this decision is immense regret

[wind coyote]

i spent a lot of gems on ss may too

then they release alt gloria who turns out to be a better version of ss may sync nuke wise

[clever oyster]

I could have used the gems I used on SS May's banner to instead use them on the Summer reruns banner tbh

and I would have felt much less regret because of it

but noooooooooo

the majority of people in this server just HAD to vote for SS May

and I believed them like a complete and utter fool

[maiden kayak]

no.....

[vestal leaf]

Uhhhh I doubt that's true lol

[maiden kayak]

ss may is a better unit

[vestal leaf]

SS may nuke is humongous

[maiden kayak]

and also she has ramping utlity

[vestal leaf]

Gloria is probably stronger DPS early stage wise and has more variety of stage applications

[maiden kayak]

gloria in other hand because of the 3 type shennegans cuts on her dps

[vestal leaf]

But may is better overall

[maiden kayak]

so as a fire unit, shes worse than ss may

[vestal leaf]

Even as a flying unit, Gloria ain't THAT insane

[maiden kayak]

Gloria needs 5/5 to outdps ss may where ss may can do it at 3/5

[vestal leaf]

She's a good fighting unit but she's not that much better than 3/5 bea

[maiden kayak]

units like this honestly isnt really ideal imo

in high score etc

[vestal leaf]

To justify a 36k investment unless fave ofc

[maiden kayak]

because they will still register gloria as u know as fire type

rather than flying or fighting

[vestal leaf]

Yeah dojo Glo was a better Gloria to invest into

Easily

Lol

[vestal leaf]

[maiden kayak]

the game is heading towards the offtype level

[vestal leaf]

I don't remember anyone pointing a gun at your head

[maiden kayak]

3 typed unit dont mean anything

if that means cutting dps its not worth it

[vestal leaf]

You are the one who scouted

Don't dump responsibility on others lol

[vestal leaf]

I mean they're great for behinners

[maiden kayak]

yea

[wind coyote]

oh thanks guys

[maiden kayak]

but if u played like at least few months

[wind coyote]

i checked in on gloria's kit

[maiden kayak]

i dont think its worth it at all

[wind coyote]

turns out ss may's nuke is better

[clever oyster]

yeah, because it was recommended to me

because I, of course, couldn't make my own decisions

[wind coyote]

also gloria is like a jack of all but master of none
may is the master of a fire type sync nuke

[maiden kayak]

there are ppl even asked u to stop

[clever oyster]

there was only you tbh

[maiden kayak]

but u chose the other route

so now u placing blame on others ?

....

[wind coyote]

trin no need to argue abt this least we can do is learn from our mistakes like im doing. Next time, I'll invest into units im sure of and so should you

[maiden kayak]

tbf i even disuade you from pulling ss may cos i know being an ss may 3/5 user shes not really that good to use

[clever oyster]

...yeah, well, the only units I'm sure of are units that will never happen

so that won't really help me

[vestal leaf]

That's a you problem tbfh

The people recommending you most likely did the right thing

Summer banner is a scam

[clever oyster]

how is it a scam?

[wind coyote]

all the units r meaningless and outclassed

also ratesd

are too less

summer banner will take u to pity no matter what

[vestal leaf]

6 0.33% units lol

[maiden kayak]

i wouldnt say its a complete scam but tate is definitely a scam for sure

[clever oyster]

neither Summer N nor SS May were on my radar for meta reasons, though

[vestal leaf]

Don't talk about my boy like that

[wind coyote]

then why did u pull

[clever oyster]

I only had an eye on them because I really liked the Pokémon they had

[wind coyote]

ohhh favs ic

[maiden kayak]

tate meta

[wind coyote]

then why do u regret pulling ss may trin

[maiden kayak]

dude doesnt pull for favs

[wind coyote]

if her pokemon is a fav

[clever oyster]

...I guess because I ended up having to spend too many gems on her

[vestal leaf]

Well it's very likely you'd had to pity one and leave the other

[clever oyster]

and now I have to struggle deciding between Cinderace and whatever this year's anniversary may hold

[maiden kayak]

this is why i tell yall to think carefully before even pulling

[vestal leaf]

^

[maiden kayak]

whether u can afford to take that risk

not spewing gems like a water hose on the banner

[vestal leaf]

Summer seasonal banner would've been way, WAY more likely a pity

[maiden kayak]

bruh

[wind coyote]

considering u have like 500k gems, how long have u been saving for?

[vestal leaf]

Than SS may

[maiden kayak]

ssmay is better than gloria

what do u even care

ss may meta is better

[clever oyster]

just like SS May, Gloria is on my radar not because of meta

[maiden kayak]

thousand miles start froma single step

[clever oyster]

but because I just like Cinderace

[maiden kayak]

U want meta u want cinderace

what u want lol

[wind coyote]

actually i use ss may and glojo together, they easily offtype stages and glojo perfectly complements ss may's nuke

[maiden kayak]

cinderace just catch from main games

[vestal leaf]

You gotta reduce your scope of units

[clever oyster]

I don't know what I want
I never know what I want
and that's the biggest problem

[vestal leaf]

You can't physically pull everything

[ashen thunder]

I think this is like the first time we got the anni bait unit weaker than than the unit a month before

So this kinda throws me off the game when it comes to prediction

[maiden kayak]

and wheres your list

[vestal leaf]

You have to give up

• scouting some
• your wallet

[clever oyster]

I need to update the list tbh

[vestal leaf]

One of the two

[wind coyote]

now ss steven was perfect bait wasnt he

[ashen thunder]

Even kommo-o was stronger than isteven before her

[vestal leaf]

SS Steven was better than last Anni for me so

[ashen thunder]

Well sssteven is like still top 5 unit

[wind coyote]

nah the rats outclass ss steven in damage terms

[maiden kayak]

which is why going meta is often not a good strategy to go with

[wind coyote]

i skipped ss steven and pulled the rats

[vestal leaf]

Ok and? Ash is cringe and so is aura cyn

[wind coyote]

also pikachu man it's the best pokemon

[vestal leaf]

Red was the only one actually interesting enough

[clever oyster]

...honestly, the only reason why I even think about going Meta is because of the accursed Extreme Battle Events

[ashen thunder]

I am quite certain ash with volkner is worse than sssteven with Bianca

[maiden kayak]

extremem battle are poo popo in gems

[wind coyote]

i pulled ash to complement sst red
now both of them fulfill all my game needs be it EBE or all battle challenges or even LA

[clever oyster]

gems are gems

[ashen thunder]

Like sssteven was very strong bait

[clever oyster]

and I will NEVER say no to free gems

[vestal leaf]

Red clears just as easily solo than with ash tbfh

[clever oyster]

no matter how painful it is to get them

[vestal leaf]

Ash is redundant

[maiden kayak]

at the cost of more gems? does that even make sense

[ashen thunder]

This time bait is super weak
Unless you are galar fan

[umbral meteor]

nemona is also strong bait

just because shes nemona

Is enough to bait

[ashen thunder]

Oh yea there's lot of nemona fans

[umbral meteor]

[ashen thunder]

But she doesn't feel like bait unit tbh

[vestal leaf]

Me, clearing them with faves or even offregion:

[ashen thunder]

Since she stays during anni

[maiden kayak]

and also

[wind coyote]

ppl r not big paldea fans cause paldea is significantly recent of a region though. They shouldve waited at least a few months before bringing Paldea into this game

[ashen thunder]

Sssteven didn't stay when rats were out

[umbral meteor]

But she is . She drops same time ss steven/ss cynthia/ss leon did

[ashen thunder]

Neither did kommo-o

[maiden kayak]

often times going for crazy units doesnt equate u to getting high score or even clear extreme battle

i mean

look at csmm

[umbral meteor]

She ends on 28th reset just like steven

[vestal leaf]

She leaves on Anni day tho

[maiden kayak]

there are ppl with crazy good units that could clear 2.5k but yet they cant

[umbral meteor]

She ends on same date ss steven did

Theres no diff

[clever oyster]

Man, I wish I was as strong as you

[ashen thunder]

Oh

[clever oyster]

Being able to just...do that

[vestal leaf]

I mean what's stopping you

[ashen thunder]

I loved it when people rolled sshilda exclusively for fire weak CS 2.5k MM

[wind coyote]

is that clair doing 40k dmg??

[maiden kayak]

||the only meta in this month is probably leon but whatever still not broken anyways||

[vestal leaf]

Yeah, with some major handholding

But hey

[clever oyster]

I mean, some of my currently owned faves don't even have EX, sadly...
Also, this sea horse can do this kind of damage?!

[maiden kayak]

and also ||nemona|| is tricky af to use

[ashen thunder]

||Only meta unit that's up now is oleana and even she's not that good without optimal partners||

[umbral meteor]

|| u mean gloria? ||

[maiden kayak]

no

ss may is better

[vestal leaf]

Gloria is not that great in all 3 of her compartments

She's great overall

[maiden kayak]

in terms of dmg and ramping utility

[ashen thunder]

Her rebuff is single target
While she has a tech nuke

[vestal leaf]

Sure

[ashen thunder]

It's dumb design

[umbral meteor]

gloria enhances may's damage with rebuff tho

[wind coyote]

oleana, emma and bulurola make a deadly team

[ashen thunder]

Even without factoring that

[vestal leaf]

Is she worth a risk of pity tho

[maiden kayak]

covering 3 types when the game is going towards offtype (high score) doesnt mean anything and that compromises her design on her dps

[ashen thunder]

She doesn't have -3 Accel

[vestal leaf]

When there's so much for those 3 types

[maiden kayak]

actually 2 rebuffs but like its only 1.4x and its not aoe

[ashen thunder]

And?

[umbral meteor]

How's leon meta then

[maiden kayak]

u rather have sun lmao

[umbral meteor]

Its 1.5x

[vestal leaf]

Also, Single -2 rebuff makes me cringe, I'd prefer an AoE -1 rebuff

[ashen thunder]

That's like have 3 specific limited units

[maiden kayak]

isnt it 1.4?

but anyways

[vestal leaf]

Isn't 1.5 3 rebuffs

[maiden kayak]

its still not worth it imo cos ss may is actually better

[vestal leaf]

1.2-1.4-1.5

?

[maiden kayak]

u have to waste a max move for that rebuff ( same with oleana problem)

[umbral meteor]

u use ss acerola + ss may/ss hilda + gloria tho

[ashen thunder]

Oh yea
Gloria's nuke innate is rebuff

Means she's trash in solo dps HS and offregion ebe

[wind coyote]

...and i like using that team?

[umbral meteor]

you use both tho lol

[clever oyster]

Hmm...actually, I think I have an idea: once Gloria's banner rolls around, I will do
one
ten-fold pull, just to test the waters
If I get her, great, if not, I'll just wait until the Anni reveal or the end of her banner to make a proper decision

[vestal leaf]

That's 3k wasted

[maiden kayak]

its overkill

[vestal leaf]

99%

[maiden kayak]

and for somone who has vbery little gems

[wind coyote]

no 3k gems is valuable in this game

[clever oyster]

Damn...

[maiden kayak]

do u think its a wise idea to go for that overkill fir4e team

[ashen thunder]

Wait did you also roll oleana?
Didn't you remove her from your list?

[clever oyster]

Who, me?

[vestal leaf]

I skipped pity on Liza (330/400) because 2 multis were more worth than a striker candy

[umbral meteor]

Thats 1.6x

[ashen thunder]

No VJ

[clever oyster]

Oh

[umbral meteor]

how's leon meta then?

by that logic if you have archie then ss lysandre isnt meta

[ashen thunder]

What leon meta

Zygarde exist

[umbral meteor]

He said only leon is meta this month

[ashen thunder]

[umbral meteor]

idt hes better than ss serena

[maiden kayak]

look at his debuffs

[umbral meteor]

debuffs arent that op in CS

[maiden kayak]

he can just debuff and max bomb with self sufficiency

[ashen thunder]

It's only 2 debuffs
And nuke suk

[umbral meteor]

thats for LG

tho

[maiden kayak]

and his max bomb can actually work

[wind coyote]

i did roll oleana

[ashen thunder]

Literally worse version of cerena

[wind coyote]

and i got her

[maiden kayak]

unlike gloria who is forced to use for the rebuff

[umbral meteor]

lol not like glorias max move doesnt do damage

[vestal leaf]

She needs to nuke early tho

[maiden kayak]

it doesnt because u would wanna use her for rebuff asap

[umbral meteor]

i mean would you pull leon if you have ss serena

[vestal leaf]

Ore first sync

[umbral meteor]

1.5x is quite big tho its worth it

[ashen thunder]

Why would you pull leon at all if he isn't fav
Cyrus exist

[umbral meteor]

ye by that logic he also isnt meta just like gloria isnt lol

[maiden kayak]

i donty think trin has zerena so theres that

[rare swan]

Gems are low this month and anni is around the corner, be very careful

The bait is immense

[umbral meteor]

Just hoping next month has atleast 40k

[wind coyote]

doesnt change the fact that the bait is not good

[rare swan]

Hopefully

[maiden kayak]

but i still dont think its worth a pity for the whole month anyways

in terms of meta

[rare swan]

OP Galar pairs and the Johtrio aren't good bait?

[umbral meteor]

they are not op

johto trio is good indeed

[maiden kayak]

imhfo

[rare swan]

They're not exactly bad

[ashen thunder]

Worse than ssmay, worse than zerena moment

[wind coyote]

johtrio sure; op galar pairs not so quite

[rare swan]

And it's two v popular characters

[ashen thunder]

[umbral meteor]

ye popularity wise all 3 are op esp nemona

nemona has tons of fans

[rare swan]

I'm personally not baited by any of them, but that doesn't mean they aren't objectively good bait

[ashen thunder]

Oh yea

[maiden kayak]

||johtrio is quite a good investment actually|| but ppl fall the trap of wanting to own them all

[rare swan]

Nemona is in her own league of bait

[ashen thunder]

Popularity wise Leon's costume and nemona are top

A lot of people were waiting for those

[umbral meteor]

Atleast they last till sep 15

[rare swan]

Mhmm

[umbral meteor]

galar ends on aug 19

[rare swan]

And Nemona is likely dropping with a Presents

[umbral meteor]

even nemona goes up till 28

[rare swan]

They're slamming us

[maiden kayak]

i honestly doubt dude can even last before anni starts

[umbral meteor]

Makes me think we wont get anni teaser in presents

ugh

[umbral meteor]

lol true

[rare swan]

I really hope we still do, even with her coming

[umbral meteor]

same

[maiden kayak]

if worse comes to worse , ||johtrio is nt a bad idea but not ethan of cos lol||

[vestal leaf]

I still say this: ciris is a free ticket to any stage that isn't sentry entry X2

So Leon is the same and better, so people could very well pull for him for utility and brainless clears

[umbral meteor]

one unfortunate thing is that we didnt get 3k gems in presents last year

[ashen thunder]

My temptation for entire set is what makes me want to skip em
Coz I know I wouldn't stop if I get even one of those

[maiden kayak]

Great framing but most ppl dont frame that way

[umbral meteor]

The 25k gems is the biggest issue ngl -15k from last year

-15k is rlly ???

big amount

[maiden kayak]

25k is whatever to me tbh

[rare swan]

Good you're aware of that

The FOMO with those 3 is real

[maiden kayak]

just dont roll few units in a month

[umbral meteor]

Ye

[maiden kayak]

gems are actually come nicely

[vestal leaf]

I mean last year was 40+27

If we get 2 3k gifts we could get 31+33 and be basically in par

[rare swan]

You have more gems than 99.99% of players, of course it's nothing

[ashen thunder]

Also there's a chance for celesa rerun for electric HS

I don't want to miss her and wait another 2 years

[umbral meteor]

It was 40+36

total was 76

not 40+27

[vestal leaf]

Wait really?

Geez

[maiden kayak]

LOL im literally trying to clear and gems are coming quite alot

[mossy hawk]

I thought this was a skip month for me, ||but I decided that I want a Leon alt||

[umbral meteor]

obviously

[maiden kayak]

my gem drainage is clogged up

[wind coyote]

i dont have a good flying damage dealer besides blue

and half the times even he is outclassed

[ashen thunder]

Wdym

[wind coyote]

ethan is my top priority in the johtrio

[maiden kayak]

lol

[ashen thunder]

He has same nuke as SSred

[maiden kayak]

ethan is not that good flying type

[mossy hawk]

Liza supremacy

[maiden kayak]

liza is a legit better type

[vestal leaf]

After his buff he's really great wdym

[ashen thunder]

Ethan isn't a big upgrade outside cs

[maiden kayak]

anyways this ontype nonsense gotta stop

just offtype man

[wind coyote]

it means i lose all battles i fight with blue way before i even reach sync because of aoe attacks

[maiden kayak]

game moving towards there already

[vestal leaf]

Blue has solid bulk wdym

[ashen thunder]

That just sounds like skill issue

[maiden kayak]

jsut to put perspective

[wind coyote]

not when i fight with him

maybe im doing something wrong

ill check params

[vestal leaf]

[maiden kayak]

lugia dps is kinda meh without flying zone

[vestal leaf]

Definitely

[ashen thunder]

His base kit numbers are same as SSred
Who is consider bulky among strikers

[maiden kayak]

and extend range units are just cleverly designed but its an excuse to reduce dps

[mossy hawk]

Just wanted to add to your Gloria High score offtype argument, while it's true, she could be potentially good in a fire HS if there are enemies weak to fighting and/or flying there. Still not enough to varrant another fire tech nuker(if you have Blaziken already)

[maiden kayak]

u cant scale dmg once its solo

[wind coyote]

i do like the johtrio

so ig my priority will be ss lyra

and if i can then ss kris

[maiden kayak]

yea i mean gloria can be accepted as fighting and flying highscore multiplier

thats smth

[ashen thunder]

Gloria isn't that good for HS

Her innate nuke multiplier is rebuff and her rebuff is single target

She also loses 50% nuke multiplier if she's not fire

[vestal leaf]

I think you can focus Kris first and give up the other 2 tbfh

Especially they go past anni

[ashen thunder]

You'll likely get higher score from ssmay than her

[vestal leaf]

Just wait

[ashen thunder]

Especially since ssmay will nuke harder on sides

[mossy hawk]

What I am trying to say is, she has good coverage if fire HS happens. Like Archie has thunder for Misty, her coverage is even stronger, but it's only speculation

[maiden kayak]

ss may is legitimately a speedster dps at this point

[ashen thunder]

Rank 1 didn't even have archie

[maiden kayak]

more than nemona lmao

[ashen thunder]

Again

It's also a big gamble

[wind coyote]

great

[ashen thunder]

lySS has fire coverage

[maiden kayak]

coverage dont mean anything anymore

[ashen thunder]

And none of mobs in water HS were weak to fire

[maiden kayak]

the application is getting lesser and lesser

[ashen thunder]

And he is the rate up unit

[wind coyote]

priority is
ss kris > ss lyra > ss ethan

[ashen thunder]

There might not be any mob weak to flying or fighting

So she ends up at a sub 60k pts run

[ashen thunder]

Oh yea
Nessa also falls under same example with jaw lock

Having coverage doesn't mean much when you can't use em

Oh yea also I should mention abt Archie

1/5 Archie's thunder in super effective is still worse than rain origin pulse offtype

And Gloria is fire type with sun access
