#Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

Vouchers maybe
Since oak mchu and the LA units have vouchers instead of candy, same w pair up events
Arc 2 of PML with free field and sprint units
Oak really needs that darn EX by now
Many could use their EX but dena said nah we’ll do it over the next 5 years 
they can even change his type if they want, just give him EX
Oak terrastal real
I want Leon so bad but I have 4k only
You misspelled flinch aka ss lyra running that mode 
The only pvp mode i can see
Is if players set up defenses
And make their own variants of full force battles
I.e defense sets up three teams of three
And it’s up to offense to beat the three teams
Though I imagine if they had bans we would literally see the same characters constantly banned/have harsh penalties
Literally mentioned 2 phrases after
Yea i saw it later but i had to drive
Dw
sorry i was just asking cause the johtrio is their fav thats why
They sadly have to prioritize rn
so do i
ill only pull ss kris
and get my two seasonals palmarnie and ny lisia from the paid select
At least wait for anni datamine first
||Before pull KriSS||
Also spoiler pulling talk here
Ok
I hope anni is galar so I can skip and go for electric banner 
Just like I did with half anni
I want this anni to be skippable
But if they have arceus i would happily quit the johtrio
Pls no arceus pls no arceus pls no arceus
Arceus: did someone call for me
Tbh I'll likely skip Arceus
Not a fan of dps units with coverage as a main gimmick

I always struggle in future when I depend on em a lot
Also normal type 
I am offtype simp, ontype for 17 types needs 
if he functions like SSHilbert i would def go for him 
Rebuff for 18 types? can't say no to that
*actually its 17 since there is nothing weak to normal

That's the fun part with sshilbert
He has way high utility in general
That his coverage is just a bonus

ssHilbert falls under the "value for $" type for me
if there are new units that has similar mechanics like him they probably would be a high priority pair for me
(as long as the trainer is not Paulo)
Tbh the main reason for my coverage hate is cyrus
Like he's got amazing water damage
But couldn't use him in kalos ebe
Was legit pissed

I was relying mainly on him till then
Now I just use him for dragon damage and barely use HP
the ebe for the duo frogs as the highlight pairs i assume
oh that 1 that demands debuffs
Cyrus didn't get boost
i used scDiantha against Diantha 
"Your greatest enemy is yourself"
can't be anymore true for that battle when I used SCDiantha

I only rolled scdiantha on last day
Coz datamines
Oh sc
I thought ss
I don't remember what I used
That ebe had lot of options
But not using cyrus triggered my dislike for coverage units in general
that's kinda the "minus point" for pairs that have multiple coverage on typing
I only care abt their base sync type's move damage these days
since only their "original/main typing" counts
I mean
Imagine this case
so if the boosted typing isn't the same as their original typing
You rely on using ssgio for poison stage all these days
they are not boosted
☠️
I remember seeing lot of people complaining abt it
same case as Rose as well
During Emma ebe
if there are future ebes that does this
Most type ebes do that
that's how they get ppl to "pull"
altho pulling just to clear for the stage isn't worth it
I'm glad my faves cover multiple typings
...that said bug's future is kinda dim, there's only slither wing left unreleased so i'm gonna hopium for shinies/duplicates 
since even a multi costs more than the total gem rewards given out
Well there are F2P clears
yeah
But like not using stuff you use a lot to deal with similar stage feels shitty
Sometimes people tend to roll the coverage units for coverage
but many times f2p clears required EX supports and the gen/free unit itself being EX'd as well
Yep dont pull for clearing EBE, like i gonna face upcoming galar EBE head on without pulling anything new 
Yep gonna try chop+hleon
Oh yea
The most evil thing they did was release dojo last year the uber coverage unit
And then release fighting focus ebe for anni


Iirc anni EBE usually boost both types and regions, i cleared last year's using cobalion, scdiantha, scguzma
i had SCDiantha EX'd and 3/5 by that time
But EX 3/5 dojos
so it was pretty much cheesing
It was so funny
I also saw someone actively using dojo in ebe channel back then for that fight
Till people pointed out no 5x stats
☠️
So far the hardest for me is adaman EBE, i dont want to EX dawn so i have a bit of hard time but maylene mvp
def down alot before dying
My hardest was piers ebe 
the galar ebe was damn simple though
I think I wasn't playing the game during looker ebe
i didnt get to play looker ebe i joined afterwards
I only came back during anni after my internship was done
Couldn't even get the selector unit
Looker EBE got type boost right? Iirc due to he is from different region than VA
If you had OG Steven/anni steven it should be ez I assume
Coz impervious
Downside up gaming 
Wait, was that the ebe with toxicroak?
Just hoenn 
Or croagunk
i think so? not too sure
Oh probably i use sssteven then
I think I did do a psychic weak ebe with croagunk
I tried Archie and he died so fast
So I switched to good ol Steven tank

Piers was the worst nightmare I had
So many resets
that time I just happened to EX Jasmine & Steelix recently
she really helped alot with debuff guard buff
I did have scdiantha but I didn't want to use her for it
Tried galar stuff and it was horrible

(altho she was not boosted)
I wonder if they will rerun EBEs for event with Master Fairs, as Johtrio event rerun with EBEs, while other VA with only pokefairs doesnt get EBE rerun
I actually didn't play during johto va as well
Alola has no EBE for their VA too
So the ebe is my first time experience
I went on hiatus like when SSmorty dropped
Iirc johto VA EBE also boost kanto pairs
Ah
🐁 infestation it is
Ill still try with my johto units
Since my johto is garbage roster outside SSmorty

Every morty is the same 
a legend, and the moment
Kinda wish it was Hop instead of Calem
y'know, to fit with the VA
There ain't even any Kalos themed events going on
Oh well, another Kalos pair, ig
lacking those
Ig there’s the kalos nc and friend themes in jukebox 
Theres drasna and olympia
I love that you don't have to roll for new units to get the themes
They'll just add em a bit later

Im skipping Rose eventhough he has a sick theme, i gonna hopium that they will release Ss Rose shiny eternatus with decisive battle : Rose in the future 
SS rose prob gonna be excaveleir or smth like that
Too much dragons already
I will pull for that 
Not many Bug and Poison among my faves, even the unreleased ones
Well unless the trio in teal mask DLC, are poisons does bump the numbers up
Bug is still sad though
i have this month's targets ready
kriSS depends on anni but the bottom two are sureties now
if anni is skippable i will extend range to ss lyra as well
Make sure you got a pity/sufficient amount of paid gems ready
i have paid gems ready
in the process to make pity and by my calculations ill reach pity easily
I think bug is still nice on dps side
Supports tho 
Genesect and escavalier are better than atleast half the types
Also alder been given out free once
Sadly escavalier and volcarona aint my fave 
Burgh is really good after the expasion
and me, an intellectual idiot, chose champ iris instead of alder or diantha
wow im stupid
Gonna hopium for bug type slither wing 
Burgh already has good sync, but its awkward to setup
I never sync with burgh
Good
for the first time, i have absolutely no affinity to a month's newly released units
i like cinderace but i hate the unit's kit, i like dragapult but i dislike leon and will never pull for any leon unit unless my life depended on it
proud owner of no leons
That's good, no temptation to pull on the new shiny things
Is it 
Use lucian or whatever 
Oar 
There is tons of spdef debuffer tho
Lucian, burgh means I need SSmorty or bulu 
No tank suk
wow ss ethan has rlly sunk on the reroll tier list
Physical burgh 
Then drop ss morty and his sun tiles, easy
Or use SS Brendan and Blaine 
Or use beet and any spatk crit buffer
what's wrong with ss morty/burgh/lucian
Do we even have spatk crit buffer in gen pool
Everything 
Coz SSmorty is limited
i'd rather take lucian over oar tiles that dont even guarantee the sp def drops
I am trying to sell burgh as a good F2P alternative
Oar always seems like a waste anyway 
Kiawe 
SS Elesa Sabrina Kiawe
Then get rid of sun 
Not like he needs it anyway
I'd just run sserika, kiawe, burgh

Sun is like half his multipliers
Ain't dropping that thing

Gunna have over 40k gems at the end of this month, heck yeah.
Hell to the yes
I’m ending at 228k by the end of August.
Ready for Ani
Lowkey praying that I skip 2/3 like I skipped ||Red and Cynthia.||
Can reach pity with this no problem
were you talking to me or no
Now I’m hoping 4th Annie sucks so I can save my gems lol
I need to prepare a lot on anni, as i doubt there will be no legendaries and mythicals anni pairs for 2 consecutive years 
my motto was scouting when its the last day of that banner so i didnt regret it
i did it with my old acc on chop but no pities so got zero result
Ok so, 39k gems
hopefully 6k gems in the pokemon presents + a whole pity in the anniversary so i can get 3 pities by then
Max 3k for the presents, tbh
^
76,325 free and 37,060 paid
hope its enough for Anniversary
23,760 gems left from this datamine 
I can't form my fifth pity from this month's gems
i desperately need a rally that actually gives gems
I only have 50 hop orbs, probably need 2 more resets 
The 2022 run up to anni had a fire and dragon type from the villain arc
The 2023 run up to anni has a fire and dragon type from the villain arc

45 here…this is always painful
Cannot wait for hop expansion, well it can help against Regirock gauntlet and on type, well i guess there's the first aid 4 for offtype
I highly advise waiting for the datamine
Especially since there tends to be a fair select as well
2021 had ss cynthia and then ss red reran 
Hope anni has some fair select, i will grab it if it has:
Sshilda, SsAcerola, SsLana, Eusine, Steven
A little early, but - 295 gems off 6 pities 
dw ill have enough gems to get the two pokefairs from paid selects as well
i will get two pfs of the second row next month
Situation after pulling ||Leon alt.||
You will get there, trust
i hope so
Same, SS Hilbert is, I think, the only PF that is likely to show up and that I may need, so it would be quite welcome
Gem check: 156k
Holy shit
prepared for anni
Me being poor at 24k 
anything thats five figures still puts you in a good position for anni
Dude that’s some serious savings goals
impeccable savings for someone who got so many limited kalos units this year to 5/5. stringent goals get the goods
cami is ready for the selects too 
can you give some advice on saving gems or it’s just rly doin dailys, events and skipping banners?
It’s important to gave a goal/reason to save
In my case, it’s saving gems so that i won’t ever have to miss out on getting my favourite characters
I often tell myself that one of my favourite characters have a chance to get a banner next month to try to motivate me to skip
and who’s ur favorites?
bc i don’t rly have favorites it’s just strong units
if they’re strong i want them
I have a fair amount
oh god
i need anni to suck ||so i could atleast decide between BTleon and Nemona cause i actually love them 🥹🥹||
If you don’t really have any favourite characters or Pokémon, you could just save for anni
Just keep in mind that DeNA wants people to spend gems/money, so practically every gacha unit is strong
Remember it’s a gacha game powercreep is real so they make as many units strong as possible because money
If you want strong units you’ll just be pulling on every banner
i have alot of faves
but if 2 of my faves are in the same month i gotta decide on 1 only
Our nest egg grows
Uh leon leaves before datamine
last year they were kind enough to have the hoenn VA units last until anni
not so kind this year
There might be news on the 8th
Of some kind
If anyone is considering the bunny or Leon, wait til then
I think that’d be too early for an anni announcement tho, it’s probably just gonna talk about nemo and new roles
But yeah, no harm in waiting
It would make little financial sense for them to announce anything for anni before they leave
I know but we'll see
One can hope
i gotta wait for anni news if i could skip ||nemona||
Nemona might run til datamine
End of the month gem saving report
Just have to get through another month without being tempted to pull for Gloria
Wtf you must have No pairs
no, i have quite a lot
i'm just a lot more efficient with my gem spending
Necro has been playing for a long time, so they have had a lot of time to save up
im at 170k+ and i definitely didnt keep saving
or rather, im skipping pulling some months and mostly going for 1 unit if any
with the exception of bigger celebrations like anni
180k here and yeah I have 2.6mil collective strenght
Teach me your ways
And I could be 300k+ if this year wasn't a pity on 8/9 banners I went for
So what is your decision making process on what to pull and when to save
Also I’m just wondering is there a sweet spot on how much gem you stay around. Has there been situations where you end up spending like 160k over two months lols
If there isn’t it seems like it’s not as ‘efficient’ to keep ‘too much’
Fave characters, fun kits, fave mons
But I refuse to go under 4 pities ever, and I skip completely anything that isn't in my full interest, or is possibly selectable (I bought 18k champion road April 2022 and I'm at 11k left) (skipped pal mallow even tho she fit the requirements because half anni, gonna select her this month)
Interested to know what you went for on the 9
I also tend to skip fairs on debut
i don’t think i’ve spent more than 80k in a single month but i don’t feel comfortable dipping under 100k
||I did spend 100k on galar trio because my luck was horrid||
Rationale behind this?
Because 2% is basically same as a seasonal, but seasonal reruns are scams
Ergo fave seasonal debuts have more priority over fave fair debuts
So Alt Leon and Alt Glor would be a fair you skip since it’s debut?
And yeah going under 130-150k is a no no for me
I don’t get what you mean by scam lols any chance you elaborate?
I'm considering Leon but I'll wait a bit
Leon is fave, dragapult is fave, and kit is good for my taste as a ciris fan
Also ss Leon never reran so I'm worried this tower Leon might not rerun soon either
Seasonal banners right now are 4-6 splits with 0.5-0.33% featureds
Which is awful if you both want a single or all of the units
Because you're extremely unlikely to get them, or the one you want
It got worse the moment they stopped giving dual reruns to previous year units
And just dumped them in the quad/sixtuple
So yeah rn fave wise I'm always up for seasonals, especially because they're usually the most unique pairs design and pairing wise
MFs and fairs are often bland and more basic, albeit better ofc
I'm not sure if this is the best place to do it. I'd be keen to see your sync roster
It really does just come down to being extremely picky with who you spend your gems on - for example, I skipped all the 3.5 anni MFs, and all the Galar VA pairs
Today marks 208 days since I last went under 10K
I am very proud of my sanity for holding out this long
(Because I'm very clear with who my favourites are and had no interest in those characters)
They aren't adding Olympia and Drasna to ticket pool?
Remember that you don't need the new shiny pair 99% of the time
V v unlikely
They didn’t add Looker/Courtney and they also were released in August
I wish they'd update the ticket pools every anni (plus half anni)
but that is asking too much
Pokemon GO ripped away my confidence of customer support on a mobile game
so for some reason I rarely contact DeNa
Niantic is an example of what you shouldn't do when it comes to that 
I probably will use my Kalos ticket until Shauna is 3/5
Same 
same, not very hopeful for Shauna
I also have Gordie 0/5 & Sonia 2/5, with all the Galar tickets I'm stockpiling I might get one of them though
I'm only missing Melony for now from the general pool... although theres a bunch of not yet 3/5 though
Just don’t lose the 33 
0/5: shauna, melony, drasna, olympia
1/5: grimsley, lucian, gordie, courtney
2/5: volkner, looker, colress, gladion, lana
oops! all clement!
Oh and still some not 5/5, but idc outside of the ones in lodge

(I also need 2, so
)
all i ask for is 2 shaunas, somehow this will be too much to ask for
2 serenas and 1 morty, elesa, lillie, may
Me who’s already at 2/5 
It's ||Olympia who's in the other spotlight this month||, not Malva
What’s Malva like in your universe
It’s Drasna and Olympia who’re being added to general pool this month
I keep forgetting its olympia not malva, since both drasna and malva r e4 
I have no clue why they didn’t just add all 3
Because kalos time already passed 
Maybe too much in 1 month? 3 new PFs, 3 mf reruns, 2 spotlights
And also 1 free pair ig
for 26k gems (assuming the Pokemon Presents gives us none)
Oh also gauntlet and lodge banner
36k gems from presents 
I need to get more drinks and codexes, i 140 all of non faves due to highscore event...out of grass and water codexes 
Well at least i increase my overall roster power 
Hopefully they will do villain admins event, and made them playable 
They hold Malva because they want to release flying field talonflame malva to pair with lysandre 
pls matt with water rebuff
Archie kinda need that to compete with Maxie+sun and ground zone
Well as water wish might be like psychic wish, wish that set rain probably
The only thing Archie really needs is something to make his Sync Move actually reasonable damage
Rain setters are very common/accessible and if you really need Water rebuff there’s a few options
Nice time for 5/5 Master fair grid expansion 
Although i hope seasonal got 5/5 first before MF
Especially pairs like lyrapuff
Just let Shelly rebuff and Archie will be fine 
Tbf I already think Archie is stronger than Maxie due to access for stronger partners
Water is too busted compared to ground
I’m reasonably sure he’s pretty much always been stronger than Maxie, it’s just that Maxie has less competition in his type
Apparently as of newest tier list he’s mildly weaker according to it
Yea
When he was falling out due to powercreep they shoved in sskris
And then we got cerena, lySS etc
So I stand corrected
Both of them do have SE buff on kit to ensure they will be viable for a long time, if it gets powercrept so much at least both of them with SE buff for sure will can clear stuff ontype
Regardless, definitely doesn’t need Rebuff
ask that Plasma fans
Oh, for sure Shelly would be nice
we didnt get the fat cat yet
Seeing anni related to VA finale, and have poison weak cs...i wonder if there will be more playable admin as most of their pokemons are poison types
...maybe DeNa will release all admins as 4* bp pairs 
Lodge cyrus and crobat 
The only “guarantee” (in quotation marks because nothing is guaranteed) is a new Battle Chatelaine
Who I’ll immediately get because I have a 5-star BP voucher ready to go
i'll probably get the BP pairs immediately
if their kits look good to me
i still don't have either nita or regirock lmao
just because WHO CARES
I got 2 rainbow ones
So I should be safe
Same i got one rainbow voucher too, not enough for another one though...well gonna cope that DeNa will give one ticket free again 
Well because i used my last ticket to 3/5 Mesprit
someone pointed out, last year only one weakness was fitting for the CS
At least im done
you guys raise the move level of your BP units?
all of my master BP units are eternally 1/5
Well I only have 3/5 Evelyn
nope, unless i will need for something
But eventually planning on 3/5 Nita and mespirit maybe?
I don't like MC as much tbf
im using the 2 chatelaines but their grid dont seem that interesting
i do 3/5 my 4* bp units tho
because why wouldn't you
you get so many 4* tickets
Battle chatelaine are great tho
3/5 regirock is pretty nice, help to clear moltres 
4* BP units? I 5/5 em if they are strikers

i have so many 4* strike candies that using em to 5/5 BP units still dont really affect my balance
I have all my 4*s at 5/5 
Vouchers will be more valuable now especially if there's some 4* sprint and field
Like we doesn't even have 4* candies for those roles
Same
i have many tickets
In theory the only reason we don’t have low-rarity Sprint/Field candies yet is because there are no low-rarity Sprint/Field pairs
a 4* field unit would be weird
yeah might be that too
Gating low-rarity candies would be the most nonsensical attempt at a cash-grab
dang so much PU tix lol
Well lodge raihan is kinda almost like that
I would be very surprised if we got a Field Hail/Sandstorm pair
Would be hurting the pair before they even release
this should be enough to get all the new units at least 1/5
can probably get a few of the 4*s to 3/5 as well
Yeah
and some of the supports may need to have vouchers used on em lmao
I still dont have any faves that benefitted with sandstorm...i do have for hail though hleon mainly, although ssN can as well but it doesnt boost ssN much as it boost hleon
yeah 4* striker candies are just really common compared to the other two roles
Remember when we asked DeNA to cut back on the 4-star Support candies? How naive we were
it's a shame that's the worst 4* role 
now we got way too many striker 1s
Because they used to be absurdly common and the only 4-star Support was Drake
now I need 4* tech candies 
Gonna be useful for lodge calem 
ohh
Like, we got a 4-star Support candy every other event or something
sounds like the current 4* striker candy scenario ngl
Then DeNA listened to our requests…and proceeded to release a ton of 4-star Supports who’d appreciate candies
but cut back on the candy supplies
While cutting off the majority of the supply

a bit of a flex but i have every 3* unit at 5/5 and every 4* unit at at least 3/5
so my candies are very good for now
Im still missing jessie and james, so my 3* will never be completed 
my 4* units are 3/5, but I want to 5/5 the techs, not so much the supports
where the hell is bugscy
no Bugscy 
there's gotta be a reason they're not rerunning him right 
No clue what they’re cooking with their refusal to rerun him
no bugscy too
It’s not like he’s a gamebreaker and he doesn’t have any rights issues wonkiness like Ash might
F2p leer is too precious to give often 
can we send a bug report
heh
saying bugscy not rerun
bug report
We literally have 2 free Screechers
It’s not like we’re lacking in free Defense debuffs
they should give us f2p lear instead 
lodge lear
With hoopa unbound, i will join

Im happy that spectrier is free, been a while since free faves...well since last anniv actually 👴
So i can hopium for another free fave team up on run up to anniv next year 
same
this is gonna be good for saving gems
i'm happy that we get victor free
Each free fave is 36.6k gems being crossed out 
what if they give a free non-fave but free EX(like this upcoming Victor pair)
even if it isn't 
Nah, i got a bunch of 5* 20/20...lodge pairs mainly, but i dont EX, i thought they wont get EX forever so i 5* 20/20 them
4* Bp pairs also 5* 20/20
Oh also bruno, because i kinda like machamp
Also 5* 20/20 bugsy noland agatha due to pity that a mega unit doesn't get EX
Why not EX if they have it and are already 20/20? Champion Spirits are abundant
I got 3.6k spirits
There are too many spirits
I dislike tainting my EX roster with non faves
Enough that serperior is already there
i just sorta EX stuff for whatever
lmao
like i EXed furbert because of a battle challenge last month
Cannot filter by heart icon due to MC
Mc Regirock and the gang cannot have heart icon
I wish there were more vouchers
If they got heart icon, i will consider EX non faves
I’m sitting at 650 spirits what am I supposed to do 
I hope they introduce spirits to
conversion
As the other way around exist
Why cannot they introduce this 
Because spirits are infinitely more abundant than powerups
i have 2.5k of those
It’d be a bad business move
I can make more 5* 20/20 if they allow the conversion 
And if they don’t allow the conversion they have a bigger incentive for spending money
failing that 2nd rally doesnt even put a dent on my spirit supply
50 aint gonna do any difference
Same...25 spirits in 3.6k savings 
Or is it 50
I deleted it from my mind after i saw part 2 rally rewards
50 I think
if i can i would shove the champ spirits and 1PU up into their arse
not like that amt will do any difference
Well at least can use it to EX Victor...exing a pair need 50 spirits right?
u alrd got 3.6k of those
spirits were never the problem, but I wish I had more 
Just wait for EX2 that costs 200 spirits to unlock
aint worth RT-ing
EX2 or 7* will be nice, i hope it will have like second lucky skill slot or something

Even maybe level 150-200 unlock
Level 200 will finally make Gladion has decent stats 
As there's 12 atk increase from level 140 to 150, 150 - 200 will give him extra 60 more attack 
Can they at least give coins a purpose
Like people are sitting on millions of them and there’s nothing to spend them on
You mean
800+ spl atk mewtwo

Gladion forever fake unit 
Can gauge their stats, just check in pomatools the difference from level 140-150...then just multiply by 5 for level 200 
Rn mega M2 hits 700 atk with gears
And 20 spl atk increase every 10 levels
Means 800 atk 
I guess highscore event can accommodate this, well higher levels means can try for more strength in highscore 
But hope they make certs to be more available, absol said in the files, level 151-200 still need certs
just dont call it super or you will be warned like me 
i guess i encroached on the Dragon Ball franchise
I hope there will be more customisation in poma than just gears, maybe introduce accessories or relics that can only be equipped by certain roles, well more customisation 
Like held item that give 1 endure, or 2 def buff at the start
Lodge calem this reset 
Well i guess, because new lodge banner
as someone who plays star wars galaxy of heroes. pls no relics, that word terrifies me lol
How u guys getting these specialist roles
#plaza-reaction-toggle
#plaza-reaction-toggle
You have the ace trainer role so you can get it
I keep mistaking it for the admin colour 
Artifacts then, well Pasio does have a mysterious ruin 
Or just held items
Hope it’s not a grind, whatever it is 
Will be like gear grind 
Make it one day only like poma day coop 
And only on certain months like gear events
Not another thing for me to forget 
Second lucky skill slot also is a nice upgrade and can make a variety of customisations...i can make cs4 and ww6 or vigilance+cs2
Vigilance+healthy healing
Cs2 plus ww3 
solo-ers gonna go wild over vigilance + cs2
Mind games and defense crush 
Im happy with just lucky skill presets
this
I just wanna change between HS1, Vigilance, CS2 and stuff like that
Agreed
Halfway to a full pitty pull, saving up for the seasonal selection scout for appletun
Those use paid gems….
uh
brother they require paid gems
u need to buy 3k paid gems per seasonal select this month
also 16k is not halfway to a pity 18.3k is
I mean that’s the best logical step right
It seems I’ll be leaving the month with 226k.
39k my new pb
Big gems next reset, 950 
Imma keep saving till SS Lyra comes out
I can power boost my hop next reset 
What event exchange shop expires today? 
Summer 2022
so that's where my 10 coins came from
so that's where my 2k coins came from
I saved 800 stamina, but EX is easier than power boost as it only uses 50 orbs, power boost need 100 orbs
true
Thats why i cannot do it day 1 unless i spend gems which is kinda stupid
Well i got 800 stamina because i bought 200 stamina and 100 paid gems deal, my usual tradition every VA 
Ugh I need 4 more multis to get guaranteed rose unless he shows up
Gonna be broke for ||Nemona and anni pairs||
Maybe you should spoiler that, we don't encourage pulling talk here
According to the bot, we have ||around 16k gems before Rose leaves so you'll have enough to pity at the very least||
Can also hopium for gems from pokemon presents 
Not sure but people speculate that it will just gonna be nemona trailer...but i hope theres some teaser for VA finale, seeing that they talked about it in dev letter 
yes pls
Nemona banner also released few hours later than reset time
He’s had it coming for so long
if Lear is anni unit i'll use him to bully pauLo for abusing his partner
Like stop trying to save him
they'll likely give us a welcome nemona gift
but prob just 3k
it's feeling like they wanna be stingy this anniversary 
How many more gems until August 15?
HOORAY I AM BACK TO ONE PITY 
Did you check the gems command?
Why not start now? :P
Ok then
i'll have 2-3 pities by late september so even if theres 3 MF favs in the anniversary im prepared
saving feels good
Hoping for that sweet 1$ 3000 paid gems welcome ash bundle 
Slightly less than 1 pity by September
But if they give 3k gems for world's, Ill have pity

1$ 1000 gems
The deal is a scam tho because with 3$ from sync orb bundle you get 3000 gems.
Its $4 
It is like 3$ and 50 cent in my place tho included tax
Oh, $4 for me
it's more than that in my currency 
Oh #1010215980175208468 doesn’t have the new CAD prices for the daily gem bundle
@timber wren sorry for ping but do you want me to send em to you?
please and thank you
i sent the original CAD prices before they were updated
monthly spending if you buy the daily gem bundle is over $10 a month 
$4
They love to screw ios

i could give you the PLN prices but i doubt anyone uses them
they are cheaper than the german ones tho, 3,37 Euro for the 3k gems in 20 days one
unless these arent updated either
they’re only as up to date as the data submitted to me, all i have is my own prices in usd
Man, I’m just sad that I’m probably going to miss out on the EBE gems for this VA. My Galar roster is in shambles. Would’ve liked those gems but Wise Entry x2 is mean.
did the sheet have a "last updated" row? forgot to check
we might be able to help in #1009557516369281075 , dont give up yet
there’s version history but i’m randomly updating when people send me prices for various currencies so it’s not really feasible to postmark every single change
When’s the next datamine expected?
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
Dang looks like leon (alt) banner is gonna poof before the datamine
Historically, anni mines have been on the 26th or 25th (since the anni itself is the 28th)
I swear if they don’t reveal the first anni unit for this anni I’m gonna screech
They’re unlikely to reveal the anniversary pairs until after the Leon banner leaves
Too long without spending
might reveal something during the worlds ending
a tiny trailer that shows some trainers involved
(but without their costumes)
Presents will be Nemo stuff
worlds anni
we got ash reveal on the 18th last year #game-announcements message
can't wait for the mainliners reaction again
But it’s ash
we got SS N revealed 2 years ago didnt we
I stand corrected then
Anni N i mean
Unoversary where the mainliners think it's unova remakes
"how can we confuse the mainliners this year"
what haven't we done this year? edit canon?
Release Melmetal pair this year so that people thought PoMa have pokemon home compability

To make it even better, make it pair with Grand Oak
inb4 johto character drops in worlds but everyone thinks its johto remakes
Done preset 14 teams for Gauntlet for faves run. Now i can rest 
i really don’t remember when anni n was revealed
it was so funny when the ash reveal trailer was mistaken for lets go johto
yeah 😭
because all we saw before ash was just his legs running up to red
so when everyone saw red everyone thought lets go johto
but then it panned back to ash
i wish
Wow, Ash aint even from Johto and people thought its another let's go game 
Hope theres a future Ash fave alt, Ash shiny mew or melmetal or something

Ash wasn't seen at first
^
Well ig technically he was but not his face
Red’s full model was shown before ash's so it was a reasonable mistake to make

Hope they will release Alain in the future, iirc one of Steven pokemon center lines does kinda mention a trainer with charizard helped him
Oh right, its still a charizard so i will skip 
Asking for things to skip is ideal for the gem balance 
True 
Sometimes im happy to just see a character/ pokemon being playable although i will skip it
Like scizor, kinda hope its playable
Yet still skip
Cannot because BP master will give me 2 
these are free though!
Hope they are good, only 15/65 faves are supports is kinda still hard 
Still faves 
Kinda why im able to skip last anni easily, because there's still landorus, mesprit, shaymin 
hope there are no legendaries this year anymore except the BP ones
which honestly, outside of anni and december stuff is possible
lets be honest, anni will be 3 legendaries
One of it is hoopa unbound 
pls hoopa-u & paulo or lear
Here's hoping 
if Paulo was with Hoopa Unbound in his default costume it would be the laziest anni unit ever
Well that char alone reeks of lazy tho
i hate to say that it is possible with DeNa 
If he got different costume, he will be the second ssred
costume release first before base pair
But what I want the most is sada and turo, they would make good MFs with the legendaries or at least with their paradox
I will grab that, kinda excited to see how they gonna do naranja and uva academy as both academy share their teachers
Especially clavel
More variety sync pairs, please!
cynthia, n, and steven for anni please dena! im totally desperate and like those characters im totally not saying this because i wanna skip
Who cares about ariana, archer, proton, or petrel 
no wait but i have no gems
I would love that, like i have 2 diantha and 2 steven but none of the OG pairs 
Yeah, not happening...
My copium is they will add more lodge friendship level milestones to 150 or 200, to give us more free stuffs and new field and sprint coins 
As altering 10k bp milestones might be hard unless they remove some trash in it.
So lodge levels and probably more floors in bvilla might be the answer
I cant believe lodge has been out for almost a year honestly
please let us have this 
I would love that, especially since a lot of ppl already have favs leveled past 150/200 already
So basically just free stuff
Yep those that have 20 lodge guests with that level can straight form 1 sprint and 1 field candy
I have all my guests at level 210+ except calem, so I'd welcome that

Nice, i still need to do a couple as i only level 210+ girls so i need to do guys 
Well Marnie is level 1000 though
While gloria close to 400
I plan on getting everyone to 1000 before moving to favs only

Will only take 5 more years
Took me 10 months to get 2 people to 1k (albeit with a bunch of other lodge unlocks)
I'm so close to 1000 Steven, I'm not doing Calem until that
Roughly 215 x17 + 18 levels so far for me
Wait hi cris
Ye that me, I couldn't fit Cris into the nic
Need 18k levels to get existing chars to 1000
So 15k level needed
Which is almost 4 years to 1000 everyone
I hope Anni has some faves, i am almost out of faves to level 150 
o you already there?
Assuming lodge doesn't get new chars at all
Yep can finish my 62nd if i got good rng this reset
I only have 40 level 150s 

I haven't exchanged mine so I dunno how many cerfs I got
Would have done it if i have steven, adaman, irida 
But unfortunately nope
Gonna save 10 certs from calem milestones for Victor
I plan on only doing like 10 more 150s and then save certs
Coz level 200 needs certs 
bruh i have too many cert i even slap them on sync pair i havent ex
I did the same for bp master pairs and Oak
They got quite a nice boost
950 gems
sheesh poce reached pity just for a 1/5 gloria
sad life
but it's the truth
Yup, that 6.6% chance of that happening might seem negligible, but it can happen to anyone, just as Air Slash can miss
yep
People still watch poce?😅
Alright still got 69k gems in my pocket. With the 22k still obtainable from the rest of the month I’ll be 91k entering the Anniversary. Not bad.
Yep people underestimate pokefair banners and seasonals due to 2% compared to master fairs, 1%...but it's only 1% difference not like pokefairs and seasonals have 10% featured rate
well just rambling, as i do hit a couple of pities on pokefairs
So its not shocking to reach pity on pokefairs
Anyway, done with the EBE so i guess everything hard this month is cleared 
Doesnt need to worry about johtrio EBE as i have them
What EB isn’t cake with the advertised units lol
Well i doesnt pull any Galar VA pairs 
Still cleared
Finally a skip VA, the other one is Kanto VA . Both have 0 faves 
Well at least there's Mewtwo and Zamazenta power boost in it
cHop MVP for the entire galar va
I just use bea, SSTred , Sonia for all of recent galar ebes
My galar roster is lacking 
Release a busted tech Sonia or Gloria with debuff focus as kit so I can roll em
Thanks
At first im happy to see a f2p Victor then i realised that he is a time limited pair so newbies that missed him will have to wait and just be satisfied with only Hop as f2p galar 
Galar is cursed eternally
No perma F2P stuff

Asking 3 galar units in team is most evil thing
Well i guess now that Galar VA is permanent, there's at least 45 galar tix in it 
I can see my johto improving at some point
Galar is just 
Maybe they can release BP units for galar
Hopefully good ones like BP soph
there is a gloria with debuff kit
i believe she's called dojo
huh
I already have cerena
makes sense
I don't want to roll a fav and only stuck with using em for ebe
Part reason why I skipped stuff like scSonia
Grass is also stacked
I always skip favs if I can't get much usage out of em
Can always download png instead to cope 
Which is how I am surviving gacha these days
Png? Like the image format?
Yes
Hi All. Am a bit tempted to pull for either Gloria Alt or Oleana. Gloria Alt because her multi-type kit looks fun but none of those types are lacking I guess and Oleana because my posion roster is decent but may be better. Also considering the Seasonal Selects so may go for Fall Iris on the tech one.
how do i consider saving for Anni than pull either of these
have almost 2 pities now
Well the fall iris select is most likely 3k paid
^
select banners alw require paid gems
Bunny in stacked types as it is
And is easily out classed by dedicated types
Also you do not want to add to the tech coins draught
Now you are just trolling

yeah. that is understood. just that i don't mind the select scout
ah yeah. don't have Emma so want to get Oleana. like her kit as well with the debuffs
aim for anniversary is to go in with 2 pities
Please don't say such weird things... 
guess i'll hope to stay patient till the last day of Oleana at the very least
Patience is always good.
Waiting patiently for the new egg event, ive been waiting for 2 months 
from my experience, "kit looks fun" will usually die off after a while
it's only day 1 of Gloria so of course we see her kit as shiny and cool and great, but it's always good to wait and see if your opinion changes. i know mine has with Spring Burgh. "metronome looks fun" but after a while I decided I... don't want that top hat

Oh right Zeen #1012256199128915968 event countdown for egg event is wrong, its on 7th August not 4th August...sorry for tagging you, i dont know how to report
I looked at SS N and thought his kit is cool.
Turns out it's not really cool.
it's cool because he's ice haha get it
I'll pass it on to Dreamy. Appreciated for pointing it out. 
not my playstyle
No problem 
My ssN clears uxie for Gauntlet...he does have some uses, well until i got regice, chienpao, articuno, ice bundle or something
