Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[ashen thunder]

Atleast they remember her

[latent salmon]

no johto or calem? i sleep

[sturdy plank]

should've given that 6ex to acerola!

[violet nebula]

That would of been more useful to be fair

[ashen thunder]

There's no Steven bait before anni

Means no red alt

[latent salmon]

hopefully dena will stop pumping out bangers so my gems can recover

[violet nebula]

So release 4 techs

Amidst a tech coin shortage

[ashen thunder]

They released 2 new types

Just to avoid it

[violet nebula]

And then release glorified techs

Ahh Dena done goof here

[latent salmon]

i wanna 5/5 both SSilver and Base Calem for favoritism reasons but my candies are non existent

[tardy fiber]

Good luck guys, im cruising on August

[violet nebula]

I wanna just 3/5 SSilver

[latent salmon]

i hunger for more omnis and techs

[violet nebula]

But no tech coins

Especially with ani coming

[tardy fiber]

111k gems and growing

[latent salmon]

free 5/5 for story pairs

[violet nebula]

Dena need to sort out the tech candy debacle

[ashen thunder]

I am in candy hell in general

Gonna avoid any tech or support

[violet nebula]

Counting Olena that is 5 tech pairs

[ashen thunder]

Except celesa and aura cyn

[violet nebula]

In 2 months

When Ani pairs get leaked that may go up to 7

With the dev letter

[latent salmon]

this month i think i can make enough to 5/5 SSilver

[ashen thunder]

I need so many tech and support candies

[lean mango]

200 more and I can officially reach 2nd pity

[violet nebula]

Nice

[tardy fiber]

Skipping Drasna? Dragalge is not poison

[warm scarab]

I don’t got any of the units coming this month, any chance I get some advice on what is worth pulling that would make a big difference?(to my roster) I’m pretty sure I will pull SS Kris though.

[upbeat lotus]

the answer you will get here is "saving your gems"

[warm scarab]

Gakon is kicking me out

[upbeat lotus]

also please spoiler pulling talk

[warm scarab]

Ok where should I go

[sturdy plank]

#poma-lounge

[upbeat lotus]

||since new banners except Gloria and Leon will be up until anni datamine, i recommend waiting||

[warm scarab]

I know everyone talk about SS Serena being better than Leon

But I don't got SS Serena

[sturdy plank]

you can wait for her rerun which i'm predicting on october

[mossy hawk]

You pulling meta or favorites?

[mossy hawk]

Isn't that a bit too soon

[sturdy plank]

what do you mean

[mossy hawk]

Oooh wait

Wrong Serena

[warm scarab]

I would say - I want to pull for fav and meta😂

[mossy hawk]

That's hard, even only chasing every MF isn't easy

And every mf is "Meta"

[unkempt vortex]

It’s swiping time

[violet nebula]

Really need to mow down on the pulling talk in here

If you must, go to poma lounge or something

[mental skiff]

What is late August update

[upbeat lotus]

anni update obviously

[mental skiff]

Still on datamine day?

28th or sth?

[vestal leaf]

Most likely 25th or 28th

[upbeat lotus]

im expecting 23rd - 26th

[vestal leaf]

For Anni datamine

[upbeat lotus]

27th onward is too late

[vestal leaf]

Can't be 26

[violet nebula]

We get a dev letter on the 8th

[vestal leaf]

It's a Saturday

[upbeat lotus]

[violet nebula]

That probably reveal most of it

[vestal leaf]

And yeah dev letter on the 8th

[upbeat lotus]

+datamine

[jade lava]

Datamine usually happens at the end of each month between the 25th and 29th (PDT)
Check #datamines for raw dumps and #1012256199128915968 for recap and schedules.
Here is a history of previous datamine dates : https://tinyurl.com/pmexdataminehistory

[vestal leaf]

99.99%

26-27 can't be

So it's 25 or 28

[upbeat lotus]

ofc, they need to announce about gen 9 arrival and new roles

[violet nebula]

Glorified techs

May as well just kept them as techs, as they are reluctant to give out coins

Because from their side that means less people will pull for 3/5

[upbeat lotus]

previous full anni datamine day:
2020: 25th
2021: 26th
2022: 25th

25th is most likely for 2023 based on the pattern

[mental skiff]

I only curious about free stuff on that datamine like Bp, lodge or possible free poke fair select

[tardy fiber]

Free fair select again please, i want to get Steven for lodge

[vestal leaf]

I'm still doubting any free fair will be gifted now that they have 5/5

[uneven pewter]

Well take it from a business perspective, yellow candies and tech candies are obnoxiously overused on techs/chased after because techs are over saturated in terms of volume. Techs became a catch all for unique mechanics because strikers deal too much damage to have the best of both worlds. Ss steven comes our and flips that narrative on its head and techs get more obnoxious since then. So naturally dena thinks okay this is getting out of hand. So they’re splitting tech into 3 units. Tech for status effects and debuffs (likely their new classification), field units for field effects (rip the tapus ever being repeated level of op), and acceleration units which I imagine is where they’re specifically going to shove the speed stat, move gauge refill, sync acceleration, and move gauge acceleration extension.

Business wise it’s more profitable to make yellow candies more competitive and desirable especially since the most reliable means of getting them is the $25 daily bundle

Some complain that this will further dilute the candy coin pool…which yes it will but the caveat is it also means you aren’t burning tech candies as fast as you can get them

[violet nebula]

There still be a tech candy shortage anyhow given the trail of techs left behind🤣

But yes good points

[uneven pewter]

I am still predicting the older ones will periodically get a voucher even though i wish they would just give a separate set of region tickets for older limiteds

[violet nebula]

Mmhmm

[uneven pewter]

The unfortunate reality

[lean mango]

Painfully skipping her 😔, I love Dragalge that much

[uneven pewter]

But not all techs are worth candies imho

[violet nebula]

This is true

[uneven pewter]

General pool = hard skip it WILL eventually show up in your draws

[lean mango]

say that to Looker and Plumeria

[unkempt vortex]

False

[uneven pewter]

Of course you could get ropalme’d where he didn’t get kiawe for almost two years

[unkempt vortex]

You can go months or years without gen pool units

[lean mango]

Those 2 have been avoiding me like the plague

[uneven pewter]

Depends on how long you’ve been playing

[unkempt vortex]

That doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll pull them at all

[lean mango]

I've saved up all of my tickets just to finally get copies of them both

[uneven pewter]

Well

[lean mango]

Plumeria has been a pain in the back

[uneven pewter]

With all the galar daily tickets

Mellony will be a great unit for a lot of folks to have

[violet nebula]

Well the two galar units avoided me

[lean mango]

Most of my Alola gen pool are at 5/5 except,, Plumeria

[uneven pewter]

Whenever they update the pools

[violet nebula]

But I got them

Melony and the other guy

[uneven pewter]

Gordy

But yea

Or is it Gordie…

[violet nebula]

It doesn't take long

[uneven pewter]

Anyways

[violet nebula]

Especially if you pull on a MF

[unkempt vortex]

Gordy can gor die

[violet nebula]

And we will have about 2-4 of those soon

[uneven pewter]

Well

[violet nebula]

About 7 if you count the Johtrio

All running at the same time

[uneven pewter]

Masters fairs are always what I preach for people to bother saving for

[lean mango]

There's also the fact of supporting the base unit y'know

[ashen thunder]

On the plus side, drasna is kalos
Means she's added into diluted pool

[uneven pewter]

They have the consistency to at least last

[ashen thunder]

You might get her when she's added in ticket pool

[violet nebula]

MF banners also good way to bolster your power ups

[unkempt vortex]

That means saving for units that could mean nothing to you

[uneven pewter]

Don’t forget ash red and cynthcario potential reruns

[unkempt vortex]

Nah

Ash got added because it was special

[uneven pewter]

Though they might save those for new years

[unkempt vortex]

Now he stays in jail

[lean mango]

What I'm guessing they'll do is that they'll update the pool during Drasna's run so she won't be updated with it

[uneven pewter]

I don’t disagree tbh

[unkempt vortex]

Like Jessie and James

[sturdy plank]

maxie and anni steven meta?!

[violet nebula]

And here I am with my 5* Jesse and james🤣

[ashen thunder]

Yes, that's why you save em till next half anni

[uneven pewter]

They’re the most likely to get a lot of love whenever masters fairs get 5/5

[ashen thunder]

Unless you rly want Shauna and not have her

[lean mango]

So time to do this all over again yay

[uneven pewter]

Because their grids straight up suuuuuuuuuuuuck

[sturdy plank]

cliffe will be so happy when anni steven gets 5/5 grids (because he for some reason has anni steven at 5/5)

[ashen thunder]

Archie grid

[uneven pewter]

And the basis for their sucktacular grids was because of how loaded their base kits were

[uneven pewter]

Sadly all the hoenn masters suffer the fate of gridsuck

[ashen thunder]

Well Steven atleast has a good multiplier
It's just Hoenn doesn't have good partners to enable it

[uneven pewter]

Annisteven being a niche moltres murderer

[unkempt vortex]

Simply be better

[ashen thunder]

100%+ damage boost on 200 BP is still funni

[unkempt vortex]

Hoenn is a bad region

Oops all steven and may

[uneven pewter]

Anni steven would literally need ss korrina but for the team level of buff support

[lean mango]

wh

[uneven pewter]

[unkempt vortex]

[uneven pewter]

You misspelled galar

[ashen thunder]

Ssmay and sssteven carrying the region's damage output in their backs

[lean mango]

I am a Hoenn defender

[ashen thunder]

Galar is good region

It's just top heavy

[uneven pewter]

[ashen thunder]

You miss carnie/chop/oleana
Your galar looks shit

[lean mango]

They still haven't given me Klara

[uneven pewter]

Worst storyline I’ve had the displeasure to suffer through in pokemon

[lean mango]

and Avery

[unkempt vortex]

Nah see bea and nessa carry

[sturdy plank]

damn cede shafted

[unkempt vortex]

[ashen thunder]

Cede is support

[uneven pewter]

Galar has great character design and units in pomas

[ashen thunder]

Biggest problem in the end is still dpsing through

I still have to shove rat with bea coz I don't have most limited galar stuff

[lean mango]

Only thing Galar has gotten me is more Poison units

[uneven pewter]

Galar is arguably one of the most stacked regions in pomas atm

[unkempt vortex]

Has Cynthia and bea for easy win

[vestal leaf]

Leon, Gloria and hop are very good "old" units tbfh

[ashen thunder]

I have 1/5 leon

[uneven pewter]

Currently the weakest id argue is probably unova

[ashen thunder]

He's super underwhelming

[vestal leaf]

Yeah at 1/5 he's probably meh

[ashen thunder]

I don't want to candy him just to make him work

[unkempt vortex]

Nah it’s gotta be kanto

[uneven pewter]

Especially since they got snubbed for mfs

[ashen thunder]

When I have ssmay and SSred as well

[uneven pewter]

The rats would say otherwise

[vestal leaf]

Idk, his max bomb is huge even at 1/5 in good teams

[lean mango]

Most of Unova's units are seasonals

[vestal leaf]

Because you can wait for Suprep 4

[ashen thunder]

Eh it's still

[vestal leaf]

And bomb for 30+k

[uneven pewter]

Hence why I said it’s arguably the weakest

[ashen thunder]

I like bea more than 1/5 leon and raihan in general

Bea is pretty good

[grim plover]

regular leon? he's good at 1/5

[mental skiff]

would like the rats rerun 3 in month

[uneven pewter]

Kalos got a LOT of love with the VA

[lean mango]

ye I see that

[ashen thunder]

But like not ebe carry level good

[vestal leaf]

My 3/5 Leon bombs 55k with +3 spa in 2v3 csmm

[hard wave]

Same, dont even have 1

[lean mango]

Though FCaitlin slaps

[hard wave]

I have 5 regular BP tickets tho

[ashen thunder]

I have 4/5 SSred

[hard wave]

2570 iirrc

[ashen thunder]

If I didn't , I'd considered candy him

[uneven pewter]

Waiting for that sweet 5/5 release

[vestal leaf]

He can carry in the current ebes

[ashen thunder]

Not at 1/5

[vestal leaf]

Because burn + no miss is decent enough for the evasion

[ashen thunder]

He has no nuke

[vestal leaf]

I never sync with him

[ashen thunder]

I have no idea why they didn't give him a full multiplier

[vestal leaf]

His sync is men

Meh

His DPS compensates lol

[ashen thunder]

I don't have a sync nuke to run with him

[uneven pewter]

Because they had no idea what they wanted him to do lol

[vestal leaf]

I run supp ex

Never needed a sync nuker for fire tbfh

[uneven pewter]

Og bede is just a miss unit wise

Weirdest kit to date

[unkempt vortex]

Fire is just unga bunga type anyway

Who needs nuke

[vestal leaf]

Og bede + lodge calem is something I'd love to try for fire stages tbfh

[uneven pewter]

[vestal leaf]

I haven't used a fire nuke for ages

[uneven pewter]

I mean huey has a point fire does have a lot of damage go brrrrrt units

Thankfully it’s gotten a lot of love recently

[ashen thunder]

You are talking on CS perspective
I am talking on ebe perspective

[unkempt vortex]

That’s a bad thing

[ashen thunder]

Mans shit in ebe

[uneven pewter]

I am talking in general

[vestal leaf]

Yeah, I use Leon in every galar ebe

Even wise entry ones

Because fave

Flag bearer inflates numbers

[uneven pewter]

Like if you’re really wanting to get particular we can start talking about gauntlet which is really end game levels of flex

[unkempt vortex]

Anything not fire grass water or electric shafted

[vestal leaf]

And he's fun for filling ramp

[ashen thunder]

How?
I could never make him work at all
Except the carnie ebe and his own ebe

[uneven pewter]

Psychic

[vestal leaf]

Idk @ashen thunder

I just eventually chip everything

[uneven pewter]

Literally the most overstuffed type

[vestal leaf]

Ofc not as solo DPS if stage is harsh

Duh

But like, piers ebe was Leon + Sonia + allister

Iirc

Very fun

[ashen thunder]

I just used diantha I think for that

Tried leon first attempt and failed so

[vestal leaf]

Diantha for a galar ebe?

[ashen thunder]

It allowed fighting

[uneven pewter]

Extreme battles are hardly anything i measure a unit’s worth because they are a flash in pan

[vestal leaf]

Ahhhh SC diantha

[uneven pewter]

300 gems if you can’t finish em whoo

Chump change in reality

[vestal leaf]

The only ebe I ever struggled on was the goddarn clefable calem ebe

All others were fave fodder

[unkempt vortex]

Free gems is free gems

[ashen thunder]

Type focused ebe I don't think I'd have any issues outside poison

Region tho, johto and galar are nightmare for me

I had to shove in rat to make bea work

[uneven pewter]

Not worth 36600 gems

Which if people arent willing to swipe they shouldn’t be pulling without a pity

[sturdy plank]

36600 gems just to get 600 gems

[uneven pewter]

Or 36300 i forget which but the point stands

[unkempt vortex]

there’s a lot of people who swipe regardless

[sturdy plank]

it is 36600 gems for pity

[uneven pewter]

There’s also a lot of people who pull stupidly

And I don’t mind being a bit mean about it because I’ve seen a lot of salt venting happening in resource chat

[unkempt vortex]

Gacha game moment

[uneven pewter]

Bottom line is if you’re yolo pulling then don’t get mad if the yolo doesn’t payoff

[unkempt vortex]

Although this is one of the few games where you can pity/spark stuff

[uneven pewter]

Pomas has a unique ecosystem i have found out…A LOT OF PLAYERS it’s their first or only gacha game

[unkempt vortex]

Others just guarantee a free step or guaranteed 5 star

[ashen thunder]

Coz they came from main game/anime
Not like usual gachas

[uneven pewter]

Very true but it’s one of the few gachas imho you can consistently and reliably save for pulls

[unkempt vortex]

It’s the main game/anime gachas that do this

I know legends and bbs do it

[ashen thunder]

The thing is those players wouldn't know how worse other gachas are

Like 2% rate with pity is rly good

[uneven pewter]

Imagine playing an anime gacha that will get eos’d in two to 4 years

[ashen thunder]

Common ones are 1% and no pity

[unkempt vortex]

Looks at dokkan and bbs

[uneven pewter]

Forever remember the pain of Fate:GO

[ashen thunder]

Tho recent gachas started to put in pity thanks to genshin

Oh god

0.8% rate

[unkempt vortex]

How bbs has survived 8 years idk

[ashen thunder]

And 300 step pity

[uneven pewter]

Genshin I don’t understand how it survives

[unkempt vortex]

Whales

[uneven pewter]

It plays like shit on phones

[sand crown]

That would be me. And the last. But I do think this game gives you a better experience than the gachas I looked into as a result of playing this one

[uneven pewter]

[ashen thunder]

It's coz PC players

[unkempt vortex]

People whale and don’t even play the game

[ashen thunder]

Oh yea

[unkempt vortex]

Pc and console players

[ashen thunder]

A lot of popularity is due to fan art and stuff

Especially NSFW stuff

[unkempt vortex]

Ofc

[vestal leaf]

Higher % of paying players, higher % of money invested

[unkempt vortex]

That’s easy

[vestal leaf]

Compared to poma

[uneven pewter]

But all of that is free

[unkempt vortex]

Honkai never reached genshin levels

[ashen thunder]

The quality is high in general for fan made stuff from genshin

[unkempt vortex]

And I mean impact not star rail

[ashen thunder]

Other games don't have that quality

[uneven pewter]

Star rail is trending the same route as impact based on engagement

Err wait

Damnit i am forgetting the genshins now

[ashen thunder]

Star rail is turn based so most casuals that play genshin don't even bother

[vestal leaf]

Mihoyo on their wait to recycle the same game into a new IP every 2-3 years for fidelization money

[uneven pewter]

The one that came before the fantasy genshin

[ashen thunder]

That's honkai

[uneven pewter]

Ty

[ashen thunder]

Imma be honest

[uneven pewter]

I was having a brain fart of epic proportions

[unkempt vortex]

Honkai was out for a few years before genshin

[ashen thunder]

Honkai is shit

Literally garbage

[uneven pewter]

It is

Which is why i was shocked that breath of the impact was as successful as it was

[vestal leaf]

Gameplay don't matter for most gacha players anyway

[ashen thunder]

Like genshin is just honkai except without most of the problems it doesn't have

[unkempt vortex]

Look at dokkan

[ashen thunder]

And star rail is just genshin without the problem

[vestal leaf]

Nor they care about transparency

[unkempt vortex]

You’re just popping bubbles

[ashen thunder]

[vestal leaf]

What of the many

[ashen thunder]

It plays on mobile

[vestal leaf]

Tedious farming? Horrible rates? Terrible pity system? Barely legal code stealing/copying?

[ashen thunder]

And actually has auto system

[uneven pewter]

So it doesn’t bleed you for cash just to remotely have a chance to get an ssr that you want that’s still going to suck without massive quantities of dupes?

[uneven pewter]

Touche

That’s a win

[vestal leaf]

People going "Poma has horrible rates" make me chuckle every time

[ashen thunder]

I introduce them to fgo

[unkempt vortex]

I don’t think I’ve played anything with rates as bad as khux

[uneven pewter]

I have a joke but i value not getting smitten by the mods

[ashen thunder]

0.8% rate and 300 step pity

[vestal leaf]

Any of the big gachas have sub 1% rate on every banner

Every banner

We cry at 1% MFs

Lol

[ashen thunder]

Also we have candies

[uneven pewter]

Epic 7 says hello to them

[vestal leaf]

Yea

[ashen thunder]

Most gachas don't have that shit

So you have to roll dupes

[vestal leaf]

And no weapons clogging the featureds

Lol

[uneven pewter]

And then we don’t have to suffer gear rng hell

[ashen thunder]

No loop hopes

[unkempt vortex]

Some gachas also don’t require dupes for characters to be good

[vestal leaf]

Poma is one

Most 1/5 are good

[ashen thunder]

And if you only have 1 copy, that unit is just trial unit

[unkempt vortex]

Bbs is one

[ashen thunder]

[unkempt vortex]

Same deal

[uneven pewter]

Those usually have gear rng hell to compensate

[vestal leaf]

Sure 3)5 is better

But most 1/5 will easily clear

Because game is easy

[ashen thunder]

A lot of my striker PFs are still 1/5

[vestal leaf]

Most Poma units (50-60%) are competitive at 1/5

[uneven pewter]

Like ultimately that’s why i dropped E7. Half my units weren’t usable because I couldn’t spend my life farming for gear ill never get

[vestal leaf]

Only supports want 3/5

Most times

Techs depend

[uneven pewter]

Pomas the unit has a clearly defined path of gains and returns

[vestal leaf]

Striker are usually fine either way

[ashen thunder]

Modern techs are fine at 1/5

[uneven pewter]

It’s such an absurd luxury we have here in pomas

[ashen thunder]

Old ones kinda want 3/5 to keep up

[unkempt vortex]

Babies first gacha

Complains about everything

[uneven pewter]

I mean i also like the fact I don’t have to live on the gacha

[ashen thunder]

Also
We actually get enuff summons to get 1 pity atleast every 2 months

[vestal leaf]

"Poma shit"

Goes farming 45 mins in genshin for a single's worth

[ashen thunder]

In fgo you save for a year and can hit pity only 2x

And the game is more dupe dependant

[uneven pewter]

And still might get shafted

[ashen thunder]

Atleast 3 copies to make dps work

Cries in NP1 melusine

[vestal leaf]

Poma was competitively shit for the first year to be fair

God first year sucked

[uneven pewter]

At least you weren’t playing alchemist code where gumi just decided to say

“Hey thanks for playing america”

[vestal leaf]

But from Anni 1 onward it got so much better

[uneven pewter]

EOS

[ashen thunder]

Gumi

I remember playing brave frontier competitively

[uneven pewter]

Ayyyyyyyyyyy

[ashen thunder]

And that game was a mess

[uneven pewter]

Someone who knows my pain

Back in the old days

[unkempt vortex]

I’m glad some games get eos like khux

[ashen thunder]

Wait 2 years for guild raid

Still has bugs

Shut down guild raid

Announce eos a year later

[unkempt vortex]

Yes I’d like to go months without an update pls and thanks

[uneven pewter]

I was in disbelief people actually played it

[unkempt vortex]

Worst gameplay I’ve ever played for gacha

[uneven pewter]

Aww mate, brave frontier was in such a bigger mess by comparison

Nothing sucked more than getting a chase unit with the typing wrong

[ashen thunder]

Well they kind of fucked up the moment they released arthur and ravea

Those just hastened the powercreep so hard and the game died

[uneven pewter]

It’s what usually happens

[unkempt vortex]

How feh continues to live I’ll never know

[uneven pewter]

Anyways ty for the chat folks. I am crawling back into my hole

[unkempt vortex]

it’s probably because of the horny

[ashen thunder]

Feh is just fan art no?

[uneven pewter]

Same answer as genshin

Whales

[ashen thunder]

[uneven pewter]

Needs more blender…3/10

[ashen thunder]

Tbh genshin has less SSRs to chase for

[unkempt vortex]

They’ve actually reached tcg levels of skill descriptions

[uneven pewter]

My god

[ashen thunder]

Which also contributes to people actually willing to pay

Coz you get the 1 unit, and it remains relevant longer

[uneven pewter]

I am glad i jumped from feh

[ashen thunder]

Any gacha game with fast powercreep tend to die faster

Except that horse game

That one is never dying

[uneven pewter]

Well

[unkempt vortex]

Tell that to feh

[uneven pewter]

Horse/dragon/demigod

[unkempt vortex]

Where powercreep is every 2 weeks

[vestal leaf]

Horny carries harder than anything else for gacha

[uneven pewter]

Camilla emblem

[vestal leaf]

A lot of people play Poma because of some characters

And even for

Those reasons

[uneven pewter]

Except they deny us

Elisa and Cynthia swimsuits

[unkempt vortex]

Swimsuit girls banner every year

Guys? There are no swimsuit guys

[uneven pewter]

Sadly the TPC is likely like

[vestal leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/uma-musume-silence-suzuka-agnes-tachyon-tach-nology-dance-gif-24617264

[uneven pewter]

https://tenor.com/view/hornyjail-bonk-baseballbat-kitty-cat-gif-19401897

[ashen thunder]

Swimsuit characters carry revenue so hard

Poma doesn't need to rely on that

[uneven pewter]

And we will never get them till EOS

[violet nebula]

What is more disturbing

Is that fans will pay for swimsuits

[vestal leaf]

I've never even looked up blue archive yet my twitter was flooded with that game's new swimsuit character for the last 10 days

[violet nebula]

I'd hope not for a 14 year old girl though

[vestal leaf]

If they did, they would

[unkempt vortex]

You can’t look up blue archive without getting horny

[violet nebula]

Swim suit Misty was pushing the boat out imho

[uneven pewter]

I’ve been scolded before for calling it out

[vestal leaf]

Yeah I noticed

I thought she was an OC

Or smth

[violet nebula]

Same

[uneven pewter]

But there’s unfortunately those types who will always prefer a specific anime trope label that i will NOT SPECIFY

[vestal leaf]

Then got 6467357424 different arts in my timeline and understood

[vestal leaf]

I wouldn't mind a Clair swimsuit

[ashen thunder]

[vestal leaf]

Clair is safe thankfully

https://tenor.com/view/umpire-safe-safe-gif-24582760

[uneven pewter]

This was back during the lillie pocalypse

[vestal leaf]

Oh

I remember

Lmao

[unkempt vortex]

Lillie

[ashen thunder]

Lillie hasn't gotten alt in a while no

[vestal leaf]

The people posting nsfw shit of her

[unkempt vortex]

Good

[ashen thunder]

Now it's Marnie

[violet nebula]

Don't remind Dena please

[unkempt vortex]

She has too many

[uneven pewter]

Gee..imagine that

[unkempt vortex]

Selene in male protag hell

[vestal leaf]

Marnie is better Lillie so I don't mind

[violet nebula]

Gen 8 is just trash

[vestal leaf]

Every gen is trash except 4-5

[unkempt vortex]

[violet nebula]

It's a poor representation of Britain

[vestal leaf]

Which are actually fair games to play

[uneven pewter]

Lillie…marnie…and soon it will be shauna

[vestal leaf]

We're just too used to the brand and need it for personal preference

[violet nebula]

The shaunapocalypse

[uneven pewter]

Why am i not surprised

[unkempt vortex]

That’s cause literally no one from kalos is memorable

Except Serena and maybe shauna

[uneven pewter]

Speak for yourself i love lysandre

[ashen thunder]

Viola my beloved

[vestal leaf]

I like gen 8 more than 6 and 7 tbh, so I don't mind galar shilling

[ashen thunder]

Viola alts where

[violet nebula]

Viola needs justice

[vestal leaf]

I'm happy Olympia is in

Drasna too

[uneven pewter]

My sweet French accent disappeared as quickly as gloria’s og voice actress

[vestal leaf]

They're both good designs with load of character

Maybe we could get a viola seasonal eventually

[uneven pewter]

A moment of silence for how bad the new gloria’s va set will be

[vestal leaf]

The jps like viola

[violet nebula]

They do

But dena no likey viola

[vestal leaf]

Not love but like

[violet nebula]

So no alts

[vestal leaf]

Jps opinion matter

[uneven pewter]

It’s not ingo and emmet levels

[vestal leaf]

It can take time

But imo she'll get one

Eventually

[ashen thunder]

I only want ingo for his VA
No intention of actually rolling him, will just wait for a free selector

[tardy fiber]

Final cs week has poison weak, maybe there's nihilego or something ...be strong

[vestal leaf]

She's like, Japan's fave gen 6 gym leader? Maybe aside Valerie

[uneven pewter]

Kalos getting a seasonal is as likely as the team admins getting released as spotlights

Dena missed easy money from me

[unkempt vortex]

Admins still being in jail makes no sense

[violet nebula]

Dena don't want our money

[vestal leaf]

You really expected Whitney seasonal?

[uneven pewter]

I would have whaled so hard for Ariana

[unkempt vortex]

They’re free money

[violet nebula]

They just want us to burn

[ashen thunder]

Scoutable Shelly

[vestal leaf]

Or allister seasonal?

[unkempt vortex]

More than if they decide to make Paulo real

[ashen thunder]

I'd roll for her even if she's spotlight

[vestal leaf]

Or Liza and tare?

Tate*

[unkempt vortex]

Why Courtney is in and not Shelly too baffles me

[uneven pewter]

That’s just to shut us up to say here’s an alt

[vestal leaf]

Because it's been more than 10 months since DeNa actually started putting niche units in sewsonaks

Seasonals

[uneven pewter]

Huey, i would answer this

[vestal leaf]

Ok and? It's better than any other scenario lol

[uneven pewter]

But it requires darker aspects of the internet

[uneven pewter]

Look 2023 has surprised me a lot

So it gives me a grain of hopium i might get bp pairs for the admins

[vestal leaf]

They started in Halloween 2022

[uneven pewter]

Eh…

[vestal leaf]

With niche seasonals

[uneven pewter]

Allister is still fairly popular

[vestal leaf]

Not remotely as much as most other jp faves

[uneven pewter]

It wasn’t till johto got seasonals i started paying attention

Whitney and jasmine my heart

[tardy fiber]

Maybe they are keeping the villain admins due to they want to give them sprint and field roles

[unkempt vortex]

[uneven pewter]

We can only hope

Someday I’ll have shelly ariana and mars

[tardy fiber]

Well at least now field is a thing, we will get more access to field effects ...wont stuck like waiting for anniskyla rerun for flying zone, maybe theres flying field pair later

[vestal leaf]

Well jasmine is tons more popular than allister so I wasn't surprised of her

Whitney was a huge surprise tho

[tardy fiber]

Im kinda happy, so there's chance for fave field steel zone and bug zone

Also ice zone

I need to recheck what other zones attached to non faves

[ashen thunder]

Whitney is popular

Coz roll out

https://tenor.com/view/miltank-pokemon-gold-jrpg-rollout-cow-gif-24221919

[vestal leaf]

Yeah but she wasn't expected as a seasonal out of all the chances

Going for her out of the many niches was a ballsy move imo

[tardy fiber]

Oh right, i cut this month some slack because Victor got his first alt

Also 2 new spotlights

And first paldea

Oh 2 new roles

DeNa seems less lazy

For August only

[unkempt vortex]

Lazy for gems

[tardy fiber]

I will be able to form yellow candy on anniv, ripe for the field koraidon/miraidon

[unkempt vortex]

You mean Paulo rockruff

[tardy fiber]

Urgh that one can rot

[oak crest]

her ability to heal also is annoying

[tardy fiber]

I will only grab if its hoopa unbound

[oak crest]

pauLo can rot

[tardy fiber]

Although i hope unbound goes to sygna suit Lear...so paulo rockruff can rot

[unkempt vortex]

Watch dena bamboozle everyone and make it Tina instead

[oak crest]

idm pulling for her

just not pauLo

[tardy fiber]

Tina is the new villain

Paulo is just her puppet

[oak crest]

[unkempt vortex]

[oak crest]

she should just dump him

if not she gonna get the L infection

[unkempt vortex]

The real villain was right beside us all along

[oak crest]

[tardy fiber]

I knew it, Prof Bellis

[unkempt vortex]

[tardy fiber]

My hopium is strong, they revamp oak bingo for Oak EX

Give my pink lab coat Oak

Oh right, gonna bring him to upcoming gauntlet

He is kinda latias killer

[oak crest]

they never say anything about his EX

but heres hoping he gets it

[tardy fiber]

After him, only BP Master faves left

[violet nebula]

Need Samson Oak

Gladion justice...

[tardy fiber]

Yes, with melmetal

Need playable Melmetal

[violet nebula]

Dena has a lot to answer for

[ashen thunder]

If oak gets grid expansion it'll give us an idea how they plan on expanding deoxys grid

[violet nebula]

No

They wouldn't

[sand crown]

Oak needs some help. that unit has been totally forgotten in a no man's land

I'm hoping for expansion and EX but I'll take just EX really

[tardy fiber]

Yep even EX is good, although he doesn't have innate sync but his grid got 2 sync multipliers iirc

[vestal leaf]

His sync has 2x on sync buffed opp

And his grid doesn't have multipliers iirc

Oh wait

You mean chop?

[ashen thunder]

Oak

He has inertia and blind spot

But no innate so it's gonna be underwhelming

[vestal leaf]

I thought I saw "hop" somewhere lol

[tardy fiber]

I give him Super Powered 3, every extra damage helps

Well good if he need to be fire/electric/ice dps as well

[ashen thunder]

I just use him as tank

Since psychic dps is very overloaded role

Arguably most overloaded role

[crisp oracle]

||Good news for me, with the monthly (for now) Master Fairs I can pick the Johtrio that has the most upside for me, which is SS Kris||

||Now my gems will stay rather sane||

[rustic heron]

||tbh i would’ve wanted ss kris if the water type masters event hadn’t happened yet||

but now that that’s over i don’t really see a reason to go all out on the water coverage

[ashen thunder]

Gotta wait 3 years for her to become relevant

[upbeat lotus]

||she was one of my most wanted pairs rerun, but now i dont care about her anymore||

[lapis pine]

I need to resist Leon to save gems for anni

When he comes I will be in here

I’m holding out anni Lance hopium

[vestal leaf]

If you're currently under 50k gem count, you should skip everything this month

[lapis pine]

Yeah I know

I’m not wondering if I should. I know I should. It’s just a matter of resisting temptation now

I’ll be talking in here to keep myself accountable

[crisp oracle]

consider using the top bar to avoid the scout screen as much as possible

or just going left

[lapis pine]

Yeah

[crisp oracle]

Me when I realized the only reason the daily scout mission exists is to get you lingering on the scout screen as long as possible

[upbeat lotus]

thats actually a brilliant idea, i should do that to avoid temptation

[crisp oracle]

I've been trying to complete my dailies on non-event days as fast as possible to avoid temptation

||It's helped me avoid one Gloria, now I will use to the strat to avoid the other||

||Though I do want Dojo Gloria the next time around||

[sturdy flower]

kinda related to saving, is there any way to follow google play deals?

just got euro off on the 3 euro bundle due to promotion i didn't know about

these would surely add up

saving the most important resource - my money

[split thicket]

Been saving for a couple days now.

This is the highest I've gone in ages.

[latent salmon]

i think highest ive gone is one pity ||even then it could've been more if i didn't succumb to temptation of pulling||

hoping to get way higher this anni

[split thicket]

I'm getting tempted to pull for Gloria and Leon, but I also want Nemona, Ethan and Lyra.

[latent salmon]

don't let the big numbers swirling around this server make you feel like you can't make it. you always can.

[latent salmon]

you can always wait for rerun if you don't have enough gems for a pity. are they faves?

ethan and lyra extend into anni, no need to worry about that too much

[split thicket]

Leon maybe, but then it got me thinking...
Do I REALLY wanna pull for units literally named Leon (Alt.) and Gloria (Alt. 2)?

[latent salmon]

i'd suggest writing down somewhere (or using the tier list) who are really your favorites. that's what most of the users here use to keep their priorities in track!

[split thicket]

I also came up with a neat method to keep me from pulling too quickly.
If I can beat the EBE events with the units I already have, I won't pull since my units are already good enough. Only reason I skipped Oleana and Rose.

[latent salmon]

think of who can replace the limited units that you already have.

base silver (in case you missed it last time, his pb and ex are next update too) is good for fire weak content, blue & pidgeot after pb is good for flying weak

[vestal leaf]

I mean you're contemplating pulling on 3+ banners right before Anni and with less than even one single pity

That's already a no

[latent salmon]

we have the ticket pool units bea and wally for fighting weak

you can safely skip gloria and cinderace with these f2p options covering the types already!

[split thicket]

Based on the direction this month is going, I have a teeny weeny feeling in my guts that I won't really want anything this Anni...
I might just make Ethan and Lyra my 4th Anni unless I get really really tempted.

[latent salmon]

• gem count next month doesn't allow for a pity with that gem count

[vestal leaf]

That doesn't mean much

It only means you're not even contemplating saving up a pity

Which is 100% better than throwing gems at one banner and be at 0 again

[latent salmon]

again, i'd recommend knowing who you deem as a favorite so you can save up for them

[vestal leaf]

Solgaleo too

[latent salmon]

ah right, mb

[vestal leaf]

Not insane but

Good enough

[ashen thunder]

Cyrus, solgaleo, blue, silver making new units not worth falling for nemona already super niche to care about

[vestal leaf]

Well I do think units like ciris, Oleana and leon2 are way past just damage

[latent salmon]

Blue and Silver. Chad rivals keeping people from pulling

[vestal leaf]

But yeah if you need clears of those types ofc the freebies are great

[ashen thunder]

There's also new BP pairs coming

Who knows

They might cover the niche type dpses

[latent salmon]

hopefully bug

my bug situation is dire

[ashen thunder]

Burgh just got buffed

[latent salmon]

is it good

[ashen thunder]

+1 crit on TM and 30% dps multiplier

So yea

Good buff

[latent salmon]

my bug situation has turned

undire

[ashen thunder]

He also gets sde3

So yay for ontypers ig

[vestal leaf]

Yeah burgh is solid

Great nuke if you can squeeze in his stuff, now ok DPS ontype

[ashen thunder]

Eh I'd just run him as a dps with some else nuking

Since he needs sun

Tbh, can just use silver with him if you are on budget

Since sun setting supports are limited

Free legendaries saving F2P's wallets

[latent salmon]

Silver saving our gem reserves at it again

[sturdy flower]

I'm disappointed with Burgh but better than Grimsley i guess

Silver Ethan team even more solid for EBE, going to run them again i think

[feral vale]

Burgh’s got some good stuff in his expansion and it’s a good boost for Bug F2P

Only thing that sucks is no Ramming Speed

[sturdy flower]

I'd rather Guzma tho

my bug f2p is Aaron, Guzma and Noland

[feral vale]

What is there to give Guzma?

[vestal leaf]

Punishing strike would be ok

[feral vale]

He already has a crappy kit from his dumb first time use move, and a low BP attacking move outside of that. Maybe something for sync, I guess

[junior trout]

Give my man haymaker

[sturdy flower]

Punishing strike

Sync Battle Rewind or something

that allows for his move to succeed again after sync

[vestal leaf]

Or yknow, a single Pin missile +10 tile and pinpoint entry 1

[sturdy flower]

also decent, i run him with Aaron to not suffer the accuracy

[vestal leaf]

That + punishing strike and any between haymaker and tough cookie

[sturdy flower]

bless my green boy for being a great support

[vestal leaf]

Would be good

[sturdy flower]

Guzma is my fav physical damage dealer alongside Noland, because for special I just run the Alder i picked on a ticket year ago

Alder: Almost acceleration unit but with AOE sync

[crisp oracle]

give him extend range for pin missile

I don't have him, I can't suffer with him

[sand crown]

Guzma needs a miracle. I'll settle for Haymaker and SE Up 9 or something

[sturdy flower]

super effective is yucky

[lunar topaz]

It’s not like you’ll off type with him lel

[sturdy flower]

i will because i wont ever have 15 bug units for HS

and lodge damage dealers are often disappointing

[sand crown]

Guzma offtyping is very doable*

*in story mode

[sturdy flower]

unless they are a tiny birb

he would be decent if he lowered def in 2 turns

and could reuse first impression

[sand crown]

I'll take it

[violet nebula]

Copium that these two spotlights get added to the general pool update

[sturdy flower]

regretably they won't

i might save my Kalos tickets

i dont have Shauna yet, but...

[vernal glade]

They didn’t do it when Courtney was added. So both the Kalos spotlights won’t either.

[tardy fiber]

So the one added on anniv later is only Shauna right?

[sturdy flower]

i might finally get Looker (not useful)

from Kalos, only Shauna

[vernal glade]

Ya we’re only gonna have Shauna and Looker for Kalos.

[tardy fiber]

My shauna and looker are still 1/5

[sturdy flower]

Looker is Sinnoh

[tardy fiber]

Well sinnoh better i guess, i need 1 more lucian too

[vernal glade]

I… don’t have either because I been saving.

[tardy fiber]

To 3/5

Well paulo bingo later will give us 30 of each region tickets

[sturdy flower]

i havent used my tickets in a looong time

[vernal glade]

Same.

[tardy fiber]

You guys are strong, i saw red ❗ and i just pull, well partly because they are free and i dont use spotlights much...my only faves in it , gladion and lusamine are already 5/5

[vernal glade]

What I want is Courtney when the pool updated.

[tardy fiber]

Hope they add more spotlight faves, brandon registeel or something... although if that happens, i will use 7.5k paid tiered to guarantee him

[sturdy flower]

nah, doubt they will add another Brandon to spotlight

we should get Chuck at some point and the 3 monkey guys

Ryuki is the Nate of NPCs tho

[vernal glade]

True. He sure is.

[hard wave]

Im missing shauna and melony still, maybe ill get melony with them

[sturdy flower]

got 1/5 Melony, i think at the previous 100 free scouts

she's interesting

[uneven pewter]

I mean is ethan/lugia a fave

[tardy fiber]

But DeNa is pretty random, i never imagine that Emma will be a pokefair...had to refresh my memory about her after seeing that datamine

[uneven pewter]

He is arguably one of the few meh masters fairs

[sturdy flower]

sad but true

also you have 7k gems, you aint making it bro cut your loses

keep on keeping on saving!

[tardy fiber]

Lately the gap between MF and PF/Seasonal are kinda blurred, well at least its good when their strength is about the same, so i can skip non faves

[sturdy flower]

depends, best units right now are still MFs

[tardy fiber]

Heck even Olympia , a spotlight can deal very high damage in the calcs

[unkempt vortex]

Gacha game moment

We’re at the point where most characters are the same level

[tardy fiber]

True

[unkempt vortex]

So many options nothing really matters

[tardy fiber]

Well easier to skip some

[sturdy flower]

Psychic is stacked in general tbh

[tardy fiber]

Just like seeing annisteven gets dethroned by smliza, both striker, flying, hoenn, physical

[sturdy flower]

AnniSteven...

[tardy fiber]

Over time, the older ones will get ousted

[sturdy flower]

i will be honest, he was never good

[tardy fiber]

Just like ssethan dethrone lysandre

So better just get faves, you will find way to make faves work if its a fave

[sturdy flower]

please dont use flying as an example

its an embarassing type

[tardy fiber]

Just grab if faves and has a pity, easy

Meta is a never ending chase

[sturdy flower]

<- chases meta when feels like it, still saves

in fact i think i scout less often than you, because every legendary is a lot

[tardy fiber]

Im glad that we don't have pvp, meta can really sways people in pvp game

[sturdy flower]

im glad that the meta events have a large threshold

getting top 10k? easy. getting top 100? could be bad

and you only get a stupid title that you can only get once anyways

[tardy fiber]

Well around 17 out of 65 are free, 2 more is free if people were there on free fair select

[tardy fiber]

Yep im glad about this

No coins or gems locked behind 10k

As i doubt many of the top 10k from water will chill on electric

They are thirsty for some competitive content and high score seems like a good place to show it

Well at least i will chill, so people can grab my spot...only 2 elec faves EX compared to 5 water faves EX from before

Will make 3 teams without any EX

[sturdy flower]

we might get another upgrade because it's anni

[tardy fiber]

Maybe i will try to put 3 offtype this time, i can gauge how many strength i need to score 180k with 3 offtypes

[sturdy flower]

so maybe you can beef up your units to the new EX and get diff ones to only EX

and if not EX at least levels

[tardy fiber]

Oh right probably can get Dana Zapdos on anni

[sturdy flower]

Vantner, lets be honest

the anniversary is the end of Villain Arc

and we have legendary summoning Paulo

i know you will need to get all 3

[tardy fiber]

Im prepared i will have 4 pities that time

I just hope the following month got 0 faves

Kinda thankful that August is a skip month

Didnt expect for it to have one of the lowest gems of the year

[vernal glade]

Anniversary will give lots of gems thankfully. All I have to hope for is anniversary becoming a skip month

[sturdy flower]

that is a kind of weird hope always

[tardy fiber]

Probably not a skip for me, 2 consecutive years of skip is too good

[vernal glade]

I mean skip month for me.

[tardy fiber]

I skipped everything last year

Oh wait there's scRosa

Shaymin my beloved

I just need to find a physical grass fave and you will be kicked

[sturdy flower]

but Shaymin is special

[tardy fiber]

Yep thats why she will be kicked if i got kartana or something

Im using her with ssacerola and sslyra

[vernal glade]

||I pulled it because Shaymin my favorite mythical Pokémon, 2nd being zeraora.||

[tardy fiber]

Well if there's special grass support in the future...morgan virizion or something, i will pair shaymin with it

Quite a lot of types that i dont have both physical/special damage covered

At least steel is done, thanks jirachi

[tough oriole]

Candy count!
I’m waiting until anni before seeing if I should use them on current faves

[tardy fiber]

Seeing that yellow candy, ...i might also save mine, well at least till field and sprint coins income becomes stable

I can form 1 probably on September

[vernal glade]

Guess could share my savings. No plans on exchanging tho as of now.

[wind coyote]

ok ive reached 9k gems

will end this month with a a solid 10k

non paid btw

[wet egret]

Still 4,7k gems staying strong

[feral vale]

C’mon baby, give me that pity!

[rare swan]

[tardy fiber]

Pity on both kinds of gems

SmTate stays winning

Seasonal select will reduce that gems, well only 3k though as i only want select scout

[feral vale]

Nothing wrong with using paid gems on a select for someone you want

I do have an aim, just hoping he’s in one of the pools

[tough oriole]

||Are you going for firis and santaleon?||

[tardy fiber]

Only ||fall iris, hleon already 3/5||

After this, my tech candies demand will be 0...well it will stays if September also doesn't have tech fave

Still need a bunch of striker and support though:

• sshilda 1/5, sslana 1/5, eusine 1/5
• ssmina 2/5, ssacerola 1/5

[feral vale]

Oof

[wind coyote]

welp i finally get to remove palmarnie and ny lisia from my list

thnx to selects

[dusky carbon]

do you guys think there will be more gems this month after the pokemon direct?

[wind coyote]

i sincerely hope so

but probably not

[junior trout]

i dont see why we wouldnt

we usually do

[upbeat lotus]

the upcoming (but unconfirmed) Pokemon Presents should give 3k gems present at worst

[junior trout]

especially if nemona's supposedly gonna drop during it, it would only make sense that we do

exactly

[tough oriole]

#datamines
This campaign sorta implies it

[dusky carbon]

👍

[deft glen]

Are we hoping some older seasonals are hidden in those selects?

I hope so

[upbeat lotus]

they should be, like last year

[split thicket]

Oh for sure. Lugia has spiked up my favorite Pokémon list since last year and Ethan is just one of the coolest character.
And I stan for that hairstyle.

[tardy fiber]

Finally finished the prize pool event

[latent salmon]

i dont wanna touch prize box after getting shafted into pity but it does give so

(yes its painful for the soul to pity a pool. -10/10 would not recommend.)

[vestal leaf]

Eh, PvP would just turn into 50/50s where poison, sleep or para AoE are kings

This game is just not meant for pvp

Self sufficient striker/tech
Op support
Serena/SSLeaf/SS Cyrus/redchu/Oleana

Enjoy fighting when you get no gauge or can't straight up act

Because we don't get enlightenment/lessen 9 on everything

And if you put status immunity

You get a SS Lyra triple interference

[violet nebula]

Still, something more community oriented be sweet like the old Hoenn MF challenge

As we discussed a global boss with fair rewards for those who choose to tank/buff and just deal damage

Like shadow lugia/ mewtwo be prime candidates for that's

[vestal leaf]

Well indirect pvp is fun yes

That's also what HS is

[lost bobcat]

But a game should be designed from its root for that
After all pvp is just about score, the type master event is better in my opinion because everyone is challenging the same stage to get as much as possible

Also poma it's not turn based

[wind coyote]

is it wrong that i never pull for dupes using gems

i use candies

and recently im having a shortage of candies

i only pull units to 1/5

[mossy hawk]

If your goal is to get as many pairs as you can with limited gems, it's the rational way

[maiden kayak]

never pull for dupes honestly

not only that

always analyse whether a unit is worth that candy or nay

usually when u candy a unit, its a unit that u would use day by day

[wind coyote]

yea

like i candied glojo to 3/5

now im using her, ss may and ss morty to offtype

they easily clear csmm 2.5k

glojo sets up ss may's sync beautifully, my ss may is only 1/5 and yet she's doing 20k damage on her sync with glojo at first sync of the game

and when i sync nuke with glojo offtype it easily goes to 45k

[round mason]

blep

[tardy fiber]

Dont worry 25350 gems left this datamine ...hoping for that 3k gems from presents

[sturdy flower]

imo we will get 3k at least for sure

they need to put something into announcements

"here's your 3k go use it on Nemona"

[rare swan]

yeah people aren't going to DL the game for her if you don't get any gems to use to summon her

[ashen thunder]

You mean 3k gems for celesa

[vestal leaf]

Yeah 3k on 8th and on 28th

[ashen thunder]

[sturdy flower]

I'm going to cope about that banner with you

[ashen thunder]

Celesa+sshau banner

Tho I think I'll skip if it's a dual banner with any other electric pokefair, I don't rly need any of those stealing rates

Solo rate up is also nice coz full 2% rate

[vestal leaf]

No double fair is 1.5+1.5%

[ashen thunder]

Yes
Double fair is less rates if you target only 1 unit

That's why I skip if it's not sshau

[vestal leaf]

Ahhh

Well yeah no reason to scout a 50/50

[gray sail]

||Sycamore is still rocking it as the only male fairy damage dealer I have. 😎||

[slate ether]

The urge to gamba is growing, but I must stay strong for the upcoming banners

[rare swan]

hold onto those gems!!

[cunning swan]

Remember anniversary is close!

[crisp oracle]

I'll hit 100K for the first time

this month

||and all for the privilege to burn it all in a pile as SS Kris and SC Diantha come for my gems||

eh, I don't mind

[wind coyote]

U’re only pulling ss kris?

Not ss lyra or ss ethan?

[feral vale]

What’s wrong with that?

[crisp oracle]

Yeah, I have so many favorites coming up and I kinda cut out some things. For now, SS Kris provides the greatest upside for me, and I don't really need a flinchbot

[sturdy flower]

might hit 200k if they actually give us some presents

[fallen path]

Pokémon presents

[hard wave]

36k pokemon presents

[sturdy flower]

i will be happy with 6k

any over 30k month is a good one

[fallen path]

In before they give one single in the pomas portion of the presents

[sturdy flower]

i'd laugh

[vestal leaf]

As a terrain setter Lyra is outdated, as a flying DPS, Ethan ain't 36k worth over an exed blue

A year and more later, sskris is still an incredible spatk support for any unit that doesn't mind rain being up

If not fave why bother

[fallen path]

And then cry

[vestal leaf]

Lyra is only outstanding for guaranteed denial

In general there's no reason to scout any of the three before anni

[unkempt vortex]

There is if you think anni will suck

[sturdy flower]

they last during Anni...

[vestal leaf]

Just wait to be sure

I didn’t want to go into meta of them here, but there should not be judging or tempting someone else to get someone that is not a fav or cannot get due to lack of gems.

[unkempt vortex]

Also it doesn’t matter how old units are it’s a gacha game they’ll be outclassed eventually

[vestal leaf]

Good Supports are almost never outclassed

Which is why they're always better investment

[feral vale]

Can confirm

[crisp oracle]

Can confirm that I am still using Skyla

[feral vale]

Skyla’s good for almost every hard content

[ashen thunder]

You only need the 2 free support legendaries, Skyla, Sonia and Shauna anyways even for CS

Oh yea swimisty is soon available
Means you can erase Shauna

[feral vale]

No Shauna here

[unkempt vortex]

Shauna

[ashen thunder]

Shauna from kalos tickets

33% chance

[feral vale]

When that gets updated

[unkempt vortex]

Fake

Kalos is only clemont ticket

[feral vale]

I have 315 Kalos tickets

[unkempt vortex]

All those free clemont

[ashen thunder]

I wish they atleast gave 3/5 rosa

As perma

Would be more 5* F2P supports that's usable

[hard wave]

Free candies when rosa and oak bingo becomes permanent trust

[unkempt vortex]

yea free 4 star candy

[vestal leaf]

Oak is 3 and Rosa is 5 tho

[ashen thunder]

My rosa is already 3/5, if they do it I can just use it on someone else

[unkempt vortex]

Even better 3 star candy

[hard wave]

For 5* story units, oak vouchers r alr in the bingo

[hard wave]

Rosa/5* story units specific (idk maybe they’ll refund candies to those who candied her)

[ashen thunder]

Tbf I'd still take it

Even without refund

[hard wave]

It’d be 4 pair specific ones for all the 5* story pairs
