Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[rustic heron]

at 3/5

[hard wave]

Shouldve been like SSAC

Or have 2 manual uses

Not rlly a fan of zone on debut bcz most of it would be used setting up

[rustic heron]

tbf we gotta see what other field units do

a free unit is not representative of the entire role

[hard wave]

Yeah, I mean im hoping future units dont just end up being first sync when EXd and on entry

[rustic heron]

the EX effect does kinda suck tho

i will give you that

[hard wave]

I dont rlly like the new EX effects much, bcz if they cant nuke there’s no reason to sync again with them

Atleast nemona can iirc, victor tho not sure

He doesnt even have an innate sync

[rustic heron]

yeah me neither

i don’t like how neither of them are permanent like the other 3 roles

[hard wave]

Yeah, sprint’s -3 is nice ig but what the point of it is to make ur next sync faster?

[unkempt vortex]

Exactly

Like who cares if first psync gets you either more damage, nukes mid, or kills sides with what we already had

[pale plaza]

SS Ethan in 3 days i wont have enough for pity but i will get it pretty quickly

[crisp oracle]

SS Ethan lasts beyond datamine, I believe you should have time to hit a pity

[pale plaza]

Gonna roll for him anyways my gambling addiction is going to get ahead of me

I think it will take another weak or 2

[sturdy flower]

sprint pairs with adrenaline will be better

like -6 on first sync sounds like a valid exchange, if you can deny something and buy extra turn

[uncut kayak]

yall, if i get 1/5 and pair her with my 5/5 ss erika and 3/5 ss bulurola, will i be able to off type in cs stadium?

just wanna know if im deluding myself because my gem count is high

mb

"high"

(i dont have a full pity but im close)

[feral vale]

This does not seem the place to ask that. Go to #916852389347196958 instead

[rustic heron]

definitely

but you should still wait til datamine

because we have like a week left

[uncut kayak]

gotcha

just trying to stay strong

[uncut kayak]

ty

[tardy fiber]

The only use of it for me is fast 3 sync buff in Gauntlet so sprint sync first then support sync...not efficient in cs though as usually enemies die after first sync

Field can still be of use in cs, as the EX refreshes the zone before sync damage procs...i would hate it more if it does sync damage first only then refresh, due to this the sync damage does get affected by the zone they give

Although for me, Victor saving grace is he got max move, future field pair might not even have max move in their kit

Max move + zone damage on uxie i did 43k damage yesterday might be more if he is 5/5 or i debuff spdef much

[tardy fiber]

Big gems this reset

[crisp oracle]

I’m getting closer to three pities maybe I can get all three Anni units if I like them

[pale plaza]

How many gems this reset?

[vernal glade]

1620

-600 if can’t do the EBE which then leaves it to 1020

[tardy fiber]

I still have 650 gems stuck from va missions and this reset will give another 1.6k

[pale plaza]

I think 5/5 kris is good enough

To beat ebe

[pine mason]

I’m getting worried about whether I need to pull for Rose & Oleana before they’re gone, and the lack of any anniversary info (outside of past sync pair reruns) is concerning… with only 1 pity pull fully ready, I’m paranoid I’m gonna be ruining myself if I don’t go for those two.

Is it even worth saving for master sync pairs (outside of a pity pull, of course) if I’m more likely to get a useful spotlight right now?

[tardy fiber]

Well, usually Anniversary gives 30k gems so if you have like 6k gems remaining to get, you can guarantee a pity for 1 later. Well i skip master fairs if they are not a fave, pokefairs, seasonals and even spotlights are strong now. So grab if a fave and you doesn't care what comes out on anniversary

[pine mason]

I guess that is true. I already have a pity, and quite a few anniversary units, so Idk. Maybe power creep has gotten to the older anniversary pairs?

[dark cliff]

SS Kris… must resist

[ashen thunder]

||I am sorry guys, I caved in and rolled for oleana since it was last day to improve my galar roster and now I feel bad for not following zen||

[tardy fiber]

Done with Victrier, so i can do 50 runs for both Johto VA events now

[clever oyster]

...is this channel JUST for gem resources or for other types of resources as well?

[rare swan]

All resources!

[vernal glade]

Oh is it? I never knew.

[rare swan]

Gems just tend to get most of the focus

[vernal glade]

Guess I learnt something.

[uncut kayak]

The urge to ||pull for Lyra|| is so strong but that just means I’m gonna go to pity

Rarely have I felt the need to ||pull|| without it going bad

[clever oyster]

98 and 749 , yet no idea what to spend them on ;-;

on one hand, I gotta prepare myself for the Electric #1128052735967764621 Event...but on the other hand, I am also struggling with the Galar VA 2 Battle Challenge Part 1 despite having Gym Challenge Gloria

and on the other OTHER hand, there's also another sync pair I'd like to EX as well

[sturdy flower]

I'm at 200/3000 and i don't have that issue

the answer is spend on best girl Marley

[fair void]

128 ! i try to pretend that they don't exist by not entering the upgrade menu

[violet nebula]

They pile up fast

Particularly with Ani and and MF's around the corner

Save

I have 200 gold and 1200 tickets. Just hold

[mossy hawk]

Lodge has inflated their distribution

Which is positive

[unkempt vortex]

Only slightly

That’s if you have whoever gets added or get it from cache

[fair void]

resources i'm doing pretty alright... but gems-wise i am currently struggling a bit, once i reach a gem saving milestone i tend to hover around that value and do impulse pulls ||for example i already spent 6k gems on kris + suicune's banner because... really cute outfit?||

not sure how to start saving beyond that milestone

[clever oyster]

...but I want to be able to finally use them

I just don't know how

[sturdy flower]

if only there was a cute girl with Arcanine that will get EX in a week...

you can use some to EX supports

or EX low stat units for the raw boost

[mossy hawk]

I EX every limited I get, even when I don't have much use out of it

[sturdy flower]

that's valid, the stat boost is always nice

[mossy hawk]

I like the shiny effect EXs have on the pair screen

Brawly EX when

[vestal leaf]

Literally yesterday 2 different people told you to prepare to ex electric types for HS lol

Those are like
5 exes
And you still have a month of csmm left

Battle challenges are jokes how are you struggling tf

[unkempt vortex]

Especially since it’s still part 1

[clever oyster]

I don't know how I am struggling, I just am

[rare swan]

Head to #1009557516369281075

those two Challenge Battles are quite tough

[deft glen]

I forgot to do daily lodge interactions

Lodge got so boring

[tardy fiber]

Im still doing it for certificates although all of my 65 current faves already 150

[pale plaza]

I caved on ss lyra now i only have 15k gems

[upbeat lotus]

Please spoiler pulling talk

[uneven pewter]

Y’all need to realize the johtrio continues past datamine

[violet nebula]

It does

[tardy fiber]

Waiting patiently for datamine

[violet nebula]

One more week give or take

[maiden kayak]

less than a week actually

[tardy fiber]

Excited to see bp pairs mostly, because they costs 0 gems

And might be useful for highscore

I only have 7 fairy pairs

Need DeNa to give me another 8

[mental skiff]

We already had 7 fairy legendary?

[tardy fiber]

Not really, just fairy pairs...how can i do highscore with 15 ontype faves?

[mental skiff]

you simply dont

[tardy fiber]

Yep thats why, i will accept any free and spotlight fairy

[uneven pewter]

I need Dena to get on board with having some more normal type pairs

Like i get they’re obsessed with on type damage

But i need some justice for normal types

[oak crest]

I wish they release either of the chinchilla line mons for normal

[mental skiff]

Ignore sc steven exist

[uneven pewter]

I ignore most scs like i do seasonals

[mental skiff]

ignore hugh exist

[uneven pewter]

And varieties

[mossy hawk]

Well, that is the category where it's most likely they will release a normal pair

[uneven pewter]

Mine is still 1:5

[mental skiff]

[mossy hawk]

Like Holiday Whitney too

[mental skiff]

We find the root of the problem

[uneven pewter]

I mean dena is the ones who set the tone that scs seasonals and varieties age like milk

Fave or no fave a lot of the kits are good for the time and then quickly fall off

[mental skiff]

I dont think we will have MF or even PF normal since it will power creep all other unit

[uneven pewter]

Example ny volkner released before the doomchus and other major electric units

[mossy hawk]

So you want a meta normal pair

[uneven pewter]

Nah i just want something that will actually get attention past release

[mossy hawk]

Just seperate yourself from what is meta and not, and you can enjoy seasonals or special costumes

[mental skiff]

Seasonal all good lately tho

[mossy hawk]

True

[uneven pewter]

This year’s have been pretty good

[mental skiff]

Im using metronome elssa who is stronger than that

[uneven pewter]

Less gimmicky

[mental skiff]

[uneven pewter]

It’s like i feel they are purposefully are ignoring updating gladeon

[mental skiff]

Gladion will have sync grid expand soon may be....

[uneven pewter]

I would love that for my boy guzma

Need a physical bug striker since i still have neither of the train twins scs

[mental skiff]

Same

[oak crest]

if he gets a good power up i would EX'd him immediately

[mental skiff]

Guzma is cool tho just poor in damage

[oak crest]

tho I have SSHilbert, i still kinda lack a phy bug type

[uneven pewter]

I already ex’d and 150d him

That sound track slaps too hadd

[oak crest]

mines at 140

lol

haven't EX tho

[uneven pewter]

I am also praying for villainversery

[oak crest]

i kinda feel that gio is an almost certain case

[uneven pewter]

I am expecting lear

[mental skiff]

It is good

[oak crest]

the trailer where he appears and him not appearing in the final villian chapter is a big hint

[uneven pewter]

For hoopah unbound

[mental skiff]

PauNo

[oak crest]

i got 0 gems for him

if its Lear however its a different matter

[junior trout]

give us another normal striker

even tho i only have him at 1/5 hugh is honestly (to me) really good

[ashen thunder]

SCemmet surprisingly standing quite solid for a seasonal unit eventho they barely released bug stuff

Too bad they just want to release 200th fire/dragon/psychic dps instead of more supports for other types

[hard wave]

He has innate rising tide so ig it makes sense

And it helps alot that there’s like no good bug options, esp for physical

Lucian and sidney r a pain in CS

[vestal leaf]

Me when I go check out his grid and see BP Sophocles has the same chance of giving PMUN while being free:

He's great don't get me wrong

[ashen thunder]

I mean
He doesn't even need it

[vestal leaf]

But his grid has like 3 good tiles

[ashen thunder]

Tbh he only lives coz his base kit has rising tide

His grid is garbage tier

Just like most seasonals

[vestal leaf]

Yea

Ehhh

Not really

Look at twins, summarnie, faitlin, falliris and fonion

All love 2-3/5

For utility or damage and for cycles

Some seasonals just get "oh 30% damage, 50-100% sync, wow"

[ashen thunder]

They love it
Doesn't mean it's good grids

Twins have good grids tho

Firis is shit

[vestal leaf]

Eh, it's good to make her a better bot

And do great special poison damage

[ashen thunder]

Well it doesn't make her setup any easier

[vestal leaf]

Not insane but great

1/5 might as well just never hyper beam

[earnest kiln]

I think I'll have enough for another pity by the 28th

[uneven pewter]

Paulo can be a free unit i refuse to pay gems for a barry tier bad character

Tbh it was a mistake putting him on the spotlight instead of lear

I would have rather lear face challenges that paulo has dealt with solely because he’s a far more interesting character

[fallen path]

barry catching strays lol

[winged fossil]

it was 18th last year that we saw ash revealed right?

wondering if we might see news today, and if so where to watch for it

[vestal leaf]

Both 2021 and 2022 reveal was at the Pokémon presents

So....

[violet nebula]

That is kind of long gone.....🤣

[winged fossil]

oof

[winged fossil]

just wish we had some teaser of atleast one anni pair

[violet nebula]

This means 1 of 2 things

This anni will either be fire... or really shite

[uneven pewter]

I entered the chat rancer, you know I won’t miss a beat to dab on Barry

[winged fossil]

feels nice that ive got 2 support/tech candies 1 gold candy and 1 strike candy going into anni. will be almost 2 strike candies again when anni starts

[uneven pewter]

3 golds 1 tech 2 strikers 2 supports

[winged fossil]

so no matter what fav comes, unless its a new role i can 3/5 them

[uneven pewter]

I am ready for a field or acceleration masters fair

[vestal leaf]

All it does is make me think this will indeed be OC Anni maybe

[grim plover]

yeah this, it's really weir there's not even a teaser about the anni pairs. The only think we know is that at the same time there's gonna be the last VA chapter

[winged fossil]

I was thinking it’d be the paldean mcs with miraidon and koraidon but no trailer to even tease a paldean anni makes me unsure

like those legends just seem like they’d be the new terrain role if they aren’t one of the old roles

Since they’re all about being able to go across different kinds of terrain in the games

If a sandwich or food related role was here then I’d put bets on arven but there isn’t.

So now I just don’t know what to expect from anni

Other than new bp pairs and the ticket update. Which I’m hopeful by the end dates of the two new spotlights might have them but I doubt it because they’re new

[vernal glade]

We will get gen pool paldea eventually

Along the new roles.

But here’s hoping I’ll continue to save next month.

[broken mulch]

Geeta would break my bank lol

[lunar topaz]

||Pulled for SSLyra my top 3 fav I got her at 290 or smth and candied finally all my johtrio are 3/5! I’m so happy!||

[uncut kayak]

9.6k more gems until I have a full pity! + 3 multis for the seasonals! So excited!!!

[flint turret]

Does anyone know how many gems are left to retrieve?

[flat schooner]

From today until <t:1693202401:d> you can get up to 5290 .
For more information check /events and /banners!

[sonic cobalt]

That many, Xero.

[flint turret]

I should reach 2 pities and get the third one the next month

(I hope i don't have to go full pity for the anni units but heh)

[tardy fiber]

I had to pity on 2021 anni, and recent half anni...so i prepared a lot of backup gems this time

[uneven pewter]

Pray for luck but be prepared to get stuffed

I hate that’s the mantra for us here in gem chat

But the bottom line is not getting a featured unit is a complete loss if you’re unable to pity

I have only one pity saved and ill be a little over for anni

[unkempt vortex]

Simply skip everything until eos

[uneven pewter]

Listen

If a turd like subway surfers is still going strong pokemex should be here for a while

[tardy fiber]

Even cafe remix is still here

[fallen path]

dw, income from japan will keep this game afloat lol

[sturdy flower]

TPC can pull the plug any second

[uneven pewter]

I mean it is true

[grim plover]

Yeah but TPC doesn't hate mobile games like Nintendo does

[uneven pewter]

Tpc does love money though. If Pokemex started to get Amiibos going or something akin to it print that cash

[uneven pewter]

Nintendo just trusts the wrong companies to do mobile

Mario Kart, Dr. Mario World and Super Mario run are generally bad games

For the mobile versions

[tardy fiber]

Nice enough for anni i guess, i still have 1.2k gems locked in the missions

[uneven pewter]

[tardy fiber]

Inb4 they release 5 faves

[uneven pewter]

I am praying for rainbow bp pairs of villains

I have 4 rainbow tickets waiting

[tardy fiber]

My poma nightmare is still pokewar SC, 4 faves in a dry gems month

I get by via skipping the month before that has fall event

[unkempt vortex]

Time to drain vantner dry of gems

[tardy fiber]

Hope they do like last anni, i only grab sc rosa and skipped the rest

[unkempt vortex]

Nah you’ll pity all 3 mf

[tardy fiber]

I have fun on anni with shaymin, mesprit, landorus

[unkempt vortex]

Then sc comes out

[tardy fiber]

Hope villainversary are MF i skipped most recent MF

Last one i pulled was galar birbs

[uneven pewter]

I happily skipped sc rosa

I forget what were the November pairs last year

[unkempt vortex]

Sc

[uneven pewter]

I know halloween was boring

[tough oriole]

SC in Nov was 2021

[uneven pewter]

Yea i was about to say

[tardy fiber]

Nc frogs ?

[uneven pewter]

That doesn’t seem right

[tough oriole]

That was dec

[vernal glade]

I know that in November it was Unova and then the Eevee day pairs.

[uneven pewter]

That was it

Ss hilda hilbert and ss N

[vernal glade]

That’s all I remember

[uneven pewter]

Ah yes

The unova villain arc

So forgettable

Absolutely robbed

[vernal glade]

Reason I knew about November was because of SS N.

[uneven pewter]

I legit am glad i got ss n

[tardy fiber]

The VA still haven't rerun yet

[uneven pewter]

None of the season 2 arcs have

[vernal glade]

It haven’t. People wanting Ghetsis and the gems.

[uneven pewter]

Season 1 is rocket, rocket returns, sinnoh and hoenn

Season 2 is unova, kalos, alola, galar

After season 2 starts rerunning I imagine next anniversary they’ll retire the reruns

[unkempt vortex]

what is this a fighting game

[uneven pewter]

And have them be part of the villain arcs like the legendary pairs

[unkempt vortex]

Where mah season pass

[uneven pewter]

Don’t give them bad ideas

Please

[vernal glade]

Ya, no season pass.

[uneven pewter]

I would sooner quit than payout for a season passed stuffed with worthless shit

[unkempt vortex]

They lock all va events behind a paywall

[tough oriole]

Can’t wait for people to start complaining that they accidentally exchanged away the legendary spirits

||(Unless they make usable on LA pairs like the other mats)||

[uneven pewter]

[unkempt vortex]

[tardy fiber]

We already have battle pass, the bp milestones

[uneven pewter]

It’s free though

[unkempt vortex]

Lock the 2 new roles candy coins behind a bp pass

[uneven pewter]

Huey i swear to god

[unkempt vortex]

IM GIGA BRAIN

[uneven pewter]

I will Barry you

[tardy fiber]

Yep although people can pay to get more bp

[unkempt vortex]

[tardy fiber]

It will be anniversary Barry as they tease Palmer

[unkempt vortex]

Unless your name is n or blue rival alts aren’t real

[tardy fiber]

Nc Galar birbs with all rivals swooping in

[uneven pewter]

I mean

Wally technically broke that trend

Silver finally got an alt as well

[sturdy flower]

i could see PF Barry with Spotlight Palmer in an event, but def not on anni

Barry did nothing the whole VA, why have him as finale unit

clearly it will be ||Lillie||

[hard wave]

Secret final boss

[latent salmon]

still salty she appeared instead of leaf in kanto va... clearly DeNa has favorites (or hate for leaf)

[unkempt vortex]

Why not both

[latent salmon]

burning hatred for leaf

[unkempt vortex]

They’ll do kanto nc and exclude leaf from it

[latent salmon]

NC Giovanni

just so they don't have to do leaf

[tardy fiber]

Hope for hoenn NC with faves, maybe 1 of em is a support because current hoenn trio doesn't synergise well enough

[grim plover]

primals please

[grim plover]

yeah, and it's not that they dont synergy, they have actual anti-synergy

[junior trout]

"sun!"
"rain!"
"none of the above"

[sturdy flower]

and none of them can tank

[broken mulch]

Honestly no weather Annie Steven was fun Vs Moltres

[tardy fiber]

True

I paired both the old king and new king together... annisteven+smliza

[summer goblet]

Gem milestone reach, time to push to 380k by anni

[mossy hawk]

Finally a nice round number

[vestal leaf]

Almost there

[tardy fiber]

Wow you guys, i only have 138,525 gems

[dire meteor]

only

[unkempt vortex]

Me with 41k

[tardy fiber]

You would have more if you only pull for electric pairs

[gloomy holly]

||Why did KriSS shafted me ||

[dire meteor]

Bestie I have 73k 😭

[tardy fiber]

Nemona electric tax ...what are the 3 electric you missing Zeen?

[unkempt vortex]

Everyone richer than me

[latent salmon]

i only have 650 ||after the great KriSS shaft||, don't feel bad about your gem count

know it could always be worse

[rare swan]

it's not a competition y'all

[ashen thunder]

Me with 1k gems and a dream

I hope anni is skip

Just like this year half anni

[latent salmon]

the most likely villainversary looks good for me (all skip )

[vestal leaf]

Good luck to all you sub 50k savers, I'd be always nervous as fuck if I was in your shoes

[ashen thunder]

As long as it's not mega M2 or shiny blaziken I can skip without much trouble

[mossy hawk]

Mega Mewtwo is a candidate

[vestal leaf]

When was the last time you fell in tentation?

[ashen thunder]

yesterday

Tho before that it's like 2 years ago

[vestal leaf]

Wow that's wild

No pulling for 2 years

[ashen thunder]

Oh I mean as in getting baited

[vestal leaf]

Ahhh

[ashen thunder]

I only roll favs

And usually have gems for it

[vestal leaf]

Well nice job

But you never know if there's a fave you didn't consider

[ashen thunder]

That's why pity doesn't hurt me
Often even rolling dupes

[vestal leaf]

Like when I got spooked by random summarnie

[ashen thunder]

It's very rare I roll on non favs

[vestal leaf]

Hope y'all get it easy

Me too, galar va was gentle af but rest of the year sucked

[vestal leaf]

I never roll for meta, but my fav list is huge

[ashen thunder]

Only times I skipped this year are half anni and sc units

[dire meteor]

Not Amphy, the most busted rat in the game, Variety Kris.

[ashen thunder]

Rest of the year was very tight

[vestal leaf]

Damn you missed amphy and funny red? Didn't expect the former especially

[unkempt vortex]

[dire meteor]

All in the name of saving.

Until I changed my goals.

[ashen thunder]

Well not amphy can be selected from selector atleast

Tho it's a paid one

[unkempt vortex]

Time to swipe then

[ashen thunder]

I am coping for free selector

Plz have kommo-o or celesa

[dire meteor]

But yeah, even in the worst case scenario, ||I can pity the last two of them. ||

This is why you save, friends.

[unkempt vortex]

If they do have pf selector I want your help

[dire meteor]

So you'll always be prepared.

[ashen thunder]

Real copium is free MF selector tho

[unkempt vortex]

Cause then it comes down to cElesa or anni skyla(if she’s in)

[ashen thunder]

Then I can pick payquaza

I don't want to gamble on MF reruns

[dire meteor]

Also uh, just putting it out there, but please do spoiler pulling talk.

[ashen thunder]

Good thing you had pity
Zenning really helps in a pinch

[unkempt vortex]

My gems gonna be dead soon again with these reruns coming up

[ashen thunder]

I pretty much steeled my mind that reruns are very hard to go for

If I have more than pity sure, else it's just skip

Thats how kommo-o evaded me for so long

It's been 3 years and still no good timing to roll that ugly thing

[unkempt vortex]

I was forced to skip rosa

Surely they won’t release a unova unit for anni

[ashen thunder]

Oh yea
White kyurem might tempt me as well

[unkempt vortex]

It’s not gonna happen prayge

[ashen thunder]

Anni is likely some sort of paldea introduction or NC event

I don't rly have much attachment with paldea stuff so it'll be relatively ez skip

[unkempt vortex]

Nc sinnoh and skipping Lucas

Paldea is whatever to me

As long as nc unova isn’t anytime soon

[ashen thunder]

It might be Lillie alt
Since they haven't released a Lillie for very long time

[oak crest]

its really hard to predict which region nc is next tho

[latent salmon]

i swear if NC Lillie happens im throwing hands

not because it's lillie. well yeah because it's lillie but because she just wouldn't be the type if person fit for nc!!

[ashen thunder]

I mean

Lillie has more chances to be kanto NC than leaf

[unkempt vortex]

It’s gonna happen

[ashen thunder]

[unkempt vortex]

Her hau and someone else

[ashen thunder]

The fact that there's no SSlillie either

[latent salmon]

i hate this

[unkempt vortex]

No elio or selene again

[ashen thunder]

It's gonna be rival NCs again

[crisp oracle]

Only 138K? I only have 104K

[ashen thunder]

Likely with UBs

[unkempt vortex]

Lillie hau lusamine

[ashen thunder]

Lillie, hau, kukui

[latent salmon]

Gladion crying in the corner

[unkempt vortex]

Gladion not getting an alt until eos

[crisp oracle]

who's next for NC, im suspecting Sinnoh personally

[ashen thunder]

Coz he's forgotten

It's likely sinnoh or kanto NC

Assuming anni is NC

If anni is not NC, anything is possible

[mossy hawk]

Sinnoh isn't likely imo, since it just got it's 4th masterfair

[unkempt vortex]

Won’t stop them

[ashen thunder]

They gave cynthia same MF passives

Wouldn't be surprised if another flagbearer drops at this point

[latent salmon]

im coping for my prediction of villainversary (Gio/Ghetsis/Lusamine) to be right so i can skip

[tardy fiber]

SstRed or Ash? If its Ash, it will be harder to rerun

[tardy fiber]

Alola NC or Unova NC

[ashen thunder]

Ash is likely never returning
Just like James and Jesse

I want Jesse and James grid expansion

[dire meteor]

Red

So I have a decent-ish chance

[tardy fiber]

Yep because him and ssacynthia have sygna suit in name thus probably make them easier to rerun

[vestal leaf]

They said most busted

Easy red

[sand crown]

Yeah at this point I’m ok with regular clothes EX…just give them something

[hard wave]

Same || tho I hope ill be able to get SS Ethan ||

[lapis pine]

Bruh

Cut your losses if you haven’t started on the banner imo

[mossy hawk]

The banner is not even out yet

[latent salmon]

you should be able to get a pity if anni is generous and skippable

[hard wave]

|| I was pulling on gloria and she’s gone now so ||

[hard wave]

Yeah ik, hoping for anni to be skippable and there’s enough gems between now and the end of his banner

[hard wave]

[latent salmon]

skipversary is real in our hearts

the motto of this thread:

if he fave,
don't hesitate
if he not,
don't even think

[tardy fiber]

Last year anni was already a skipversary for me, so i hope this year is not

[hard wave]

I want a skip bcz I need gems || tho depending on my luck zerena rerun would be nice ||

[broken mulch]

Last halfversary was a complete skip, would be funny if the actual Annie is a complete skip too

[maiden kayak]

||sincerely doubt its a skip, look at last year , ppl still pull for trios despite being underwhelming||

[ashen thunder]

As long as it's a skip for me I'll be happy

[hard wave]

Same

|| last year I only went for ash for electric dmg, and I have chop so no need for cynthia ||

[tribal lantern]

Need talked off the ledge tomorrow to hold off pulling Ethan until the datamine. 😂 Only 38k gems so I can’t just pull him no matter what unfortunately. Faves > meta but I might have meta faves for the anni lol.

[tribal lantern]

I stopped with Sun and Moon but I’m happy with Bede. I like the articuno form and he’s a good unit I use a lot.

[winged fossil]

done spending stamina on victor event, 5/5 and got the upgrade mats from the shop

[mental skiff]

already overflow in stamina i dunno what to spend tomorrow

Can consider save it for when 3 4 star free sync pair rerun. Can help farming 4 * pu

[hard wave]

I just need 2 from pt 2 johto, but done w all the mission and exchanging for stuff I wanted

Ill be doing the other pair up events for but I do kind of want to get some field fizz for victor but ill see

[mental skiff]

It only take me 90 more for 140 victor after you get all the gems from complete the new drink area.

Just exchange them all not like you have 2 field unit

[hard wave]

Mine is 125 so I need to get enough for 130 first

Ig I can grind it later for future fields if needed

[vernal glade]

Thankfully the event lasts longer since more events keeps popping up.

[fallen path]

i don't mind grinding the drinks now since there's a bonus atm, already got all my victor copies so i don't have to worry about that before the gio persian event next reset

[hard wave]

Same, ill just grind for the drinks then ciovanni gets wtvr is left

[uncut kayak]

Someone please tell me Lyra isn’t necessary. I love celebi sm but my grass team is already pretty good

[rustic heron]

lyra is a very slow unit

and very boring

[uncut kayak]

Ty

[junior trout]

more and more stages are getting major interference resistance/immunity, dps sucks, better grass nukers

[tardy fiber]

Can wait for datamine, she wont be gone anytime soon

Hate to feel like "if i know this pair will appear, i wont pull for lyra before this "

So better play it safe

[sturdy flower]

shame they arent keen to reveal even one pair

[rustic heron]

waiting sucks

but what else can ya do y’know

[sturdy flower]

i know Poma story is very simple

but i still cant help to fanboy about what could happen

i like Giovanni a lot because of this game

[rustic heron]

i’m the opposite lmao

i feel like he is overused

[sturdy flower]

i mean, he IS the Rainbow Rocket Giovanni

[tardy fiber]

Oh right before this they did reveal annimay early via video trailer but why they didn't do it in this run up?

[sturdy flower]

what annimay

they revealed Steven

then Ash

[grim plover]

was there a teaser for the 2nd anni? i started playing after seeing steven

[sturdy flower]

iirc yes, but that's what i remember people telling me last year

i didnt play during 2nd anni

[tardy fiber]

They did tease her early before datamine

Jp trailer revealed her on 21 feb 2022

Way earlier than datamine

[upbeat lotus]

Anni May was part of build up for Pokemon Day campaign, which games releasing news everyday until 27/2

[tardy fiber]

I hope there's news like her on monday

Monday is 21st

[sturdy flower]

right now it seems like any kind of trailer will be after datamine

[hard wave]

There is some news being announced 22nd

But maybe thats just for SV

[rustic heron]

where did you see that

[tardy fiber]

Oh the one they teased through serebii

They gave him a tea set, with 22nd August date on the box

[rustic heron]

yeahhhh that’s most likely just for SV

they ain’t gonna give us any masters news from that

[rare swan]

I'm assuming there will be a trailer on the 24th (Japan time)

the villain art ends on the 23rd

[rustic heron]

most likely

[rare swan]

(today is Unova)

[rustic heron]

then datamine on the 25th

i just wanna know who the new beepy pairs are

[uncut kayak]

Speculation is about a regional sinistea I believe so it’s just SV related most likely

[tardy fiber]

neat

[rare swan]

we all do

anni is just over a week away and we have nothing

[rustic heron]

hoping for BP bianca

just because she deserves SOMETHING

[rare swan]

oh BP LOL

[rustic heron]

yeah beepy

but also regular pairs would be neat

probably gonna be super duper overpowered

[rare swan]

I just want the current MBP's to get EX'd unlocked

[rustic heron]

[tardy fiber]

I cannot wait for datamine, well hope we get 4 limiteds + 6 BP +1 lodge

11 pairs to digest on datamine day

[rustic heron]

i had a dream a few days ago that we got 3 lodge pairs next month and one of them was bugsy

[tardy fiber]

More lodge guests is a welcome addition, especially after 2 consecutive MF lodge guests

Inb4 its lodge lance, lance is a regular in VAs

[rustic heron]

plz no

wonder if we’ll get another new mechanic like we did for b moves last year

they’ll probably just expand on the new roles tho

which i guess i’m cool with

[tardy fiber]

Maybe after new year, especially after SV DLC already completed

[rustic heron]

maybe

what if paldeanniversary with terastal…

nah no way

took a long time to get dynamax

[tardy fiber]

Hard because they highlighted villain a lot, and in the dev letter said VA finale will begin on late August

So same period with past anniversary event

Well they can make 1 of the professors appeared at the end of VA Finale

[rustic heron]

[sturdy plank]

free 5/5 frame?!

[rustic heron]

[tribal lantern]

Just need to survive 5-6 days of Ethan til the datamine. ☮️

[latent salmon]

think about it. you can get MORE gems to sacrifice to ethan if you wait.

[pale plaza]

SS ethan this reset im gonna try but most likely not suceed

[rare swan]

please spoiler this

remember we don't want pulling talk in this thread

(i also wouldn't recommend you attempt him with that balance but you do you)

[lean mango]

Gen count, haven't been playing lately so I have a bunch of gems to collect which will probably get me to 90k

Hopefully I'll be able to ve 100k when anni arrives

[tardy fiber]

Fingers crossed, there's poison weak

[uncut kayak]

For Ethan/Lugia lovers. You can stay strong until anniversary

[lean mango]

I need to save, I wanna go back to the #100klife again

[tardy fiber]

So skipping poison unit it is

[tardy jolt]

Does anyone know what do we get for exchanging our tickets for Giovanni and Persian if we have them at 5/5?

[violet nebula]

Coins😆

In the temp storage

It a good old royal shaft

[rare swan]

You can earn standard in exchange for his

it's not a great exchange rate but aren't all that easy to get

[tardy fiber]

Yep total 9 per sync pair event, loving it

Done all johto VA rerun missions finally now its just getting from run ups

Gonna keep my in case there's 4* faves on anniversary

[rare swan]

isn't it 4 per event?

[tardy fiber]

You got 5 from getting gio persian dupes...and 5 custom PU exchange for 1

[upbeat lotus]

you also get 4 by exchanging the exclusive powerups

[tardy fiber]

So 9 total

[rare swan]

ah, i forgot about the dupes

lovely

[tardy fiber]

Yep giopersian, bluecanine, mistyduck will be 27

Will be more if there's bugscyther

[rare swan]

a unit's worth of is very nice right before BP updates, I must say

[tardy fiber]

Yep, plus the one from general store monthly ...i can 5* 2 bp/lodge pairs if needed

[tardy jolt]

Thank you everyone!

[lean mango]

):, I don't think I can ever skip a poison fave

[tardy fiber]

But you need to reach 100k

[lean mango]

I'm just hoping no Poison unit for anni as much as I want one

[vernal glade]

As for me, no favs for me for anniversary is what I’m hoping.

[rare swan]

i'd like at least one unit to be interesting enough for me to pull

I'll be heading into anni with 6 pities, so

[lean mango]

Wait until Anni Lysandre

[rare swan]

[lean mango]

Villain Anni real

[vernal glade]

If it is then it’s a free skip month for me.

[tardy fiber]

With ground type shiny zygarde

[broken mulch]

Plz be skip month

[oak crest]

At quarter of a mil now, prob will hit 7 pity when anni is here

[broken mulch]

I don’t want to suffer the consequences of my own stupid actions lol

[gray sail]

||Thank you Blue for preventing me from greeding out on Lugia. I love that mon but I need all the Colress and Wallace alts more.||

[tardy fiber]

Steel type shiny genesect with colress cmon DeNa

[deft glen]

Getting your faves > Getting a good screenshot gem count

[dire meteor]

Saving at least a pity is optimal.

So you'll be able to prepare.

[tardy fiber]

Hoping for some faves next month

[weary spire]

Idk why this was still scrolled all the way up for me LOL but sure, I still would never in a million years ever do or suggest this, ever. I wouldn’t suggest spending more than 2-3 multis to pity

10 is out of the question

But ye, I get the idea

I know some commit to pities on certain favs as a gesture of appreciation, or almost a symbolic thing. I don’t personally subscribe to it, but valid if it works for you & you can afford to do so and continually save otherwise

[ashen thunder]

It all comes down to affordability and how much they like the unit

[weary spire]

I think logically it’s not an option imho

But yeah as like a gesture of appreciation, nobody can tell you what not to do

[ashen thunder]

Tbf spending 1 full pity for a fav is fine even if the unit drops early

Coz you are supposed to not roll till you have a pity on your hand

[weary spire]

If you love the character, go for it! So long as you can save past it just fine

[weary spire]

First part no, second part yes

[ashen thunder]

Rolling multiple pities is where you put the fullstop

[weary spire]

Getting a unit 1st multi for example and spending 11 more multis to pity a dupe is just a terrible idea imho

But we can agree to disagree

It comes down to how many gems the dupe is worth, but it will never be worth 36k+ gems

Imo

[ashen thunder]

Yea well
I am mentioning it coz you were already willing to put in a pity for the unit

If the unit comes early, it's just a pleasant surprise

[weary spire]

We’re on the same page on that front, even if not the original subject

But I’m still with you on that for sure

👍

But still, I would not value a dupe at 36k. Nor 30k. Nor even 12k, really, but at least that can sort of be within some reason

I’d say 9k at most

[ashen thunder]

Yea that's understandable

[weary spire]

I think it can come down to affordability when it’s within the range of 6-9k, maaybe 12k if you absolutely love the unit and have 0 candies

[ashen thunder]

Since 30k gems for smth 1 candy could solve isn't affordable for lot of people

[weary spire]

I would prob just do 6k if I didn’t have as many gems

[weary spire]

I think it’s just not worth it for everyone tho

Unless you had like a million gems or something

[tardy fiber]

I will only get dupes if my first copy arrives at 30k so i only like need to add only 6k to get to 2/5

[weary spire]

Yeah that’s fair

[ashen thunder]

Yea for me, my fav list is small enuff to roll for dupes
But I never go past 1 pity

But if Dena is willing to increase candy coin income, Id stop at 1 copy itself

Like I used to do 2 years ago

[weary spire]

I think you can do as you prefer to which is fine, I’m just going by a general saving rule of thumb where 0 units are assumed until pity

[tardy fiber]

If you got the unit at first multi, just like my experience at sslysandre...i got him first multi and his second copy arrives via pity but i did that after like 2 months without faves and i thought of saving striker candy as it is the most lacking during that time

[weary spire]

It’s tough for me to justify without at least trying to put on a gambler’s mentality, I think

[fallen path]

I personally subscribe to this

[weary spire]

I hear ya

It’s tough committing that and getting the result though

[uneven pewter]

See i am guilty on this. Realistically the only pair I regret rolling on this year was the any tapus not named acerola. After this anni i am going to be hitting my savings goals hard again

[fallen path]

I look at gems like real money (as a dolphin). I personally think it’s crazy for people to go for 3/5 who are purely F2P

Even if it’s a top fav

[uneven pewter]

Especially since this year has proven there is no such thing as must have pairs

[tardy fiber]

Yep, actually its not that worth it, better for me to just dupe him via fair select than spending 33k to 2/5

[ashen thunder]

I actually like tapus the most out of the pairs in long time

[uneven pewter]

I agree and i regret doing this was lysandre in feb

It set me back far too much

[ashen thunder]

My least used unit is ssdiantha who I actually pitied for 2 copies

[fallen path]

It’s about purchasing power like with RL economics

[weary spire]

When you’re not unlucky, it feels like you’ve made a reasonable decision with good justification, etc. When you are, you’re like “that was almost objectively overspending ”

[ashen thunder]

I should have just stopped at 1 copy

[weary spire]

I hear ya

[tardy fiber]

As for me 33k free gems has more value than 3k or 5k paid

[ashen thunder]

But then tech candy income is so slow compared to the amount of tech units that actually dropped this year

I hope the sprint and field role introduction doesn't just brick tech coin income even harder

[tardy fiber]

Kinda interested to see move coins distribution next month

[weary spire]

Trust me, I considered coin supply & income
But yeah for me, I would generally say that the income of candy coins and all can be given consideration the more gems you have & how bad the supply and demand is for your units

[fallen path]

You have to accept you’re going to be behind with techs

[weary spire]

To where maybe you lean… 1 more multi lmao

[fallen path]

That’s just how it is unless you’re willing to whale

[weary spire]

It’s like, I say 2-3 multis but if everything adds up to where it feels more reasonable to lean 3, I’ll go 3

But you won’t see me jumping to 4 or 5

[fallen path]

If you’re 2-3 multis from pity and you got that 1st copy, you don’t have to get it right away too lol

[weary spire]

There was 1 situation I was closest to that and my mind was just completely fried from hardly playing the game for so long

My saver’s mentality was gone briefly all of a sudden and I was left like damn wtf did I do

[weary spire]

True

I mean to be real, with many pities on hand to guarantee my favs and have extra, I have almost p much defaulted to 3 multis away from pity for Techs in order to help make up for them

But in another situation, I may just do 2 (assuming I wanted the dupe)

[uneven pewter]

This was me with ss wally

[weary spire]

[uneven pewter]

But then lysandre was like

Mistakes have been made

[tardy fiber]

Oh right that made me remember the first time i got a bunch of gems by getting the 2 completion bundles, i splurged all of them to annimay and anniskyla, when its all over, i just realized what i had done spend a pity each on both of them hoping to get 2/5 or 3/5 to save tech candies

[weary spire]

Gotta go in expecting those mistakes to be made

Or… hold on no

Expecting that it would be a mistake made

There, that’s better

[summer goblet]

Well there is one mistake that is unforgivable

Nuking your account and losing everything

[weary spire]

Ouch

[fallen path]

[weary spire]

This sounds too specific

I have hardly been around the past 6 months so I wouldn’t know ngl

[tardy fiber]

Well i did learn from it, now i never go for more copies unless its 2-3 multis range to pity

[weary spire]

🫡

[tardy fiber]

4 multis is a no as its 1/3 pity and that is a lot

[weary spire]

Ftr I don’t mean to impose on how people spend their gems or anything, but y’know, just that there are things I’d suggest and not suggest in here

[summer goblet]

I have friends I mentored who kept nuking their account and resetting

[weary spire]

Since it’s the saving support thread and everything, you know the deal lol

Maybe just been a while so felt like I had to clarify in case anyone felt bad

[weary spire]

Ah

[summer goblet]

I get it, they are beginners

[tardy fiber]

I have that kind of friend as well, keep making new account and then show me that they pulled the featured pair...and i was like why send me this? You gonna nuke the account anyway, so stop sending these pic. Now he no longer sends pic to me

[weary spire]

Well, either gone beyond resources at that point, or never got to valuing resources in the first place Everything is like sand

[summer goblet]

And i have to teach them how to get started by developing their savings habits

[weary spire]

Mhmm

There’s a way to afford new units without having to nuke everything else lol

[summer goblet]

Well, now I challenge him to not nuke his account for 20 days

[weary spire]

20 days during anni is prob a good time not to lmao

[tardy fiber]

People just need to accept that they cannot get all units unless they whale, realising that does help me big time

[summer goblet]

Yeah

[weary spire]

For sure

Especially when half of them, people don’t actually even want that much

[summer goblet]

I hope he doesn’t nuke it the 5 th time in 2 months

[junior trout]

almost there

[summer goblet]

He had the Jolhto trio by blond lick lol

[tardy fiber]

Like i do buy the small 3k paid gems bundle every 20 days, even i am not brave enough to pull for everything

[weary spire]

A lot of people just want that “Haha cool they’re in my hands” feeling which lasts 2 seconds, while the pity they may have built up for it lasts over a month

[summer goblet]

I think i need to slow down on taking in student

[weary spire]

Grats!!

Great job, you’re basically there. Might even have enough for the pity accessible rn, or if not, real soon

[tardy fiber]

600 gems next reset

Cutting it close

[maiden kayak]

datamine i think very soon

friday imo

[tardy fiber]

Well the VA region art will end on Wednesday

[weary spire]

I hear ya for sure, yeah. It’s at least not the worst way to get dupes with that deal

[tardy fiber]

We are at unova now

[summer goblet]

Well, i gonna chill and save up as usual

[weary spire]

It took me a second to realise this was the Aqua I think of in this thread

And then I saw your gem count as your discord user?

[summer goblet]

Haha

[weary spire]

I guess that did the trick

[maiden kayak]

lol it was just kinda annoying to update gem count everytime

[weary spire]

Are you able to change it consistently still? I don’t know how much has changed with Discord’s user thing now

I’m guessing you can keep changing so long as it is unclaimed

[summer goblet]

I just have 1 username and let it be my identity

[maiden kayak]

u mean by hidden discord user? i dont think so

[weary spire]

Wait I can change my thing to show different?

I’m like a complete noob to everything now

[weary spire]

Honestly kinda same

[summer goblet]

Yeah you can change your username for every server

[tardy fiber]

Oh right you guys can get High score master discord role if you guys have proof of getting master ball badge from last highscore event

[weary spire]

Ron got stolen

[maiden kayak]

but yea it defeats the purpose for me now because im technically not saving anymore anyways

[summer goblet]

Though i am lazy to do that

[weary spire]

Wait I know you can change nickname for every server, but now username too?

What’s the point of the username then?

[maiden kayak]

i meant the username cant change iirc

[weary spire]

Yeah I figured

Think they just meant nickname ye, that I knew

[maiden kayak]

but nickname yes depending on server nitro tho

[tardy fiber]

Luckily no one grabbed my username, i guess choosing a random name from random manhua does have its perks

[maiden kayak]

but i just find pointless updating gem count

[weary spire]

Yeah I’m aware of that lol, been that way for a while

Ahh is that your perm user?

Damn

[crisp oracle]

How many gems do you have atm Aqua

[weary spire]

Fair enough

[summer goblet]

My nickname is way too unique to be copy

[maiden kayak]

530k i think

[summer goblet]

Nice

[crisp oracle]

Nice

[weary spire]

I was wondering how you could have that user, I thought you were updating it

Lmao

[maiden kayak]

lol

[weary spire]

Explains what you meant earlier then

Understandable

[maiden kayak]

yea i mean it would look weird if gems keep going down and no purpose to saving

[tardy fiber]

Cannot wait for datamine news, hope the new BP Master pairs are still faves and support...well because i have more need of support than a random field/sprint/tech/strike

[summer goblet]

Well my plan now is to get lucky daily pulling for anni

And them save another 2 months between sep-dec

[tardy fiber]

Hoping for big gems month as our run up is pretty average

[crisp oracle]

It’s been a while since I was last below 36.6k

[summer goblet]

Trying to put around 400k gems by Dec

[tardy fiber]

I'm prepared to be below 36.6k for anniv, well i dont mind if its due to faves although i do hope that not all of em will cost pity

[summer goblet]

Arceus

[kind mural]

Cant wait to see what the anni units are, partly because im tempted to get ethan rn

[tardy fiber]

I will be happy if that happen, my gladion is kinda lonely being the only normal fave...fall iris is in the same boat being the only poison fave

[summer goblet]

Yep

[maiden kayak]

honestly think if arceus really came

its actually more or less EOS

[summer goblet]

Bet

[maiden kayak]

hes like the end game mon

[tardy fiber]

Well we got rainbow turtle to look up too, arceus not too op anymore

[summer goblet]

Tell that to Rayquza

And Zacian

[tardy fiber]

Anime collab roy shiny rayquazza to replace our annisteven

[summer goblet]

Yes

[tardy fiber]

I dont mind, i will still grab it

[summer goblet]

I will spent it

Can’t wait for another anime colab

With Liko and roy

[tardy fiber]

Hard to kill poma, i think we will start dying if there's something random like persona 5 collab or hatsune miku collab

[maiden kayak]

i dunno about anime collab

ash proved to be meh in sales

[summer goblet]

Really?

[maiden kayak]

thats like after 20+ years of marketing

yea ash got worst anni sales

[summer goblet]

Though he sells so hard

[maiden kayak]

and he has first day advantage

[summer goblet]

Rip

[maiden kayak]

even anni lillie was heaps and bounds better in sell through

[tardy fiber]

I contributed to that, my ego prevents me to get OP rats...i rather have fun playing with lower damage electric legendaries than using those rats

[summer goblet]

I daily pull him in 6 days

Nah I’m confident anime colab will come back

Otherwise, i be kinda bored right now

[tardy fiber]

But man, fairy weak is still darn painful...my fairy faves are only xerneas and tapu fini. Magearna and enamorus when?

[summer goblet]

Right

Just your tapu fini and komo

I made it a priority to balance out my roster

Filled with fun and fav

With meta units

[tardy fiber]

Im happy to get free victrier, 36.6k saved for me

[summer goblet]

So i can play the game every single day

[tardy fiber]

True its always fun playing with faves

[maiden kayak]

i dunno who man

all seemed meh for collab

[summer goblet]

I have yet to skip a day since day 1

[tardy fiber]

Pogo collab

[maiden kayak]

sierra

?

[summer goblet]

You are fun at parties

[maiden kayak]

that would be worth pulling

[tardy fiber]

Probably the 3 team leaders with kanto birbs

Willow melmetal too

[maiden kayak]

im praying flannery

manga character anni

yellow lol

[summer goblet]

My last wish is getting another Brock alt, but dena can take their time

And i guess a Sceptile alt as well

[tardy fiber]

They should just add Green if Leaf is too troublesome, she did appear on LGPE so no problems

[maiden kayak]

this year was pretty good they gave other characters a chance for alts

[cunning swan]

[maiden kayak]

altho some of their outfit designs are lacking the oomph

[tardy fiber]

True even SC are nice, shauna and zinnia got their first alt

Well first proper for zinnia

[maiden kayak]

yea those were really good

heck even xmas which is known to have most boring alt

jasmine outfit was freshly creative

[summer goblet]

I usually don’t pull units for drips only

But they add the flavour to it

[maiden kayak]

jasmine was pretty meta

[tardy fiber]

Kinda hoping that VA finale stuff is just one playable paulo so that they wont disturb anniversary alts slot ...but dev letter saying VA finale starts at end of August scares me

[maiden kayak]

honestly think gladion would be part of anni

[summer goblet]

I am ready for another meta breaking unit

To add to my collection

[gloomy holly]

Not sure what would make me skip this anni

[summer goblet]

Least favourite character

And alt

[tardy fiber]

Im glad that i make legendaries, mythicals, UBs, paradoxes my faves...DeNa rarely will make these guys trash

[summer goblet]

Not that it stop me from pulling Bede

And his articuno

[crisp oracle]

Good news, I can hit 3 pities before datamine

[tardy fiber]

I probably have fun even if theres no new limited fave on anniv, as for sure theres new bp master pairs

[summer goblet]

I can survive just saving gems and not pulling

[tardy fiber]

Same, like this month is a skip month for me

[cunning swan]

180k!

[gloomy holly]

I want someone with big numbers or a meta team like last year's trio

[summer goblet]

Cause unlike Chest, i have so many units to play around so not gonna get bored for awhile

[summer goblet]

Nice

Oh yeah, after collecting presents and mission

I just hit 380k gems already

So i guess 390k then

[tardy fiber]

I think i cannot form 4th pity

139k is far from 145k

I dont think the remaining gems have that much

[summer goblet]

I am pretty lazy not checking the bingo

Do it i might get a gem winfsll

[tardy fiber]

The new bingo? I thought its easy to complete. Just view Paulo latest interlude and then done

[cunning swan]

If you've completed all VAs up to this point, it's very easy

[lean mango]

True yeah but the high gem count gives me a like a feeling of preparation

[uneven pewter]

You know i understand the folks who nuke to a degree

Like

I get it

Pomas is hard to come into the middle of it

Less so these days than before

But chasing after a golden goose account is a fool’s errand

Like if it’s the launch of the game

Sure go for the golden ticket

But this game is four years old at this point and people need to embrace the idea that everything here is a luxury.

With every year they release another batch of bp pairs

And the bp pairs and lodge pairs really curve the whole meta from being as sharp as it is in some games

Hell

The fact the only gatekeeper to unit power is levels and candies

Is a hell of a luxury

I played epic 7 for years and it didn’t matter how many meta units i had

If the gear wasn’t good the unit was crap

Pomas at least gives us the ability to enjoy a wide stable of pairs at no consequence

Sure veteran’s have an edge for things like gauntlet or prestige

But for most players you get all the goodies at 10 wins for gauntlet

And whatever it was recently for prestige

Heck even champion stadium

Anything past what 5k is superfluous?

[feral vale]

Wall of text jumpscare

[ashen thunder]

Well gachas without leaderboard based content often tend to be very F2Pable

Pomas leaderboard doesn't rly give any rewards in general

Except prestige which they pretty much scrapped at this point

[hard wave]

There’s a uh

Medal for HS ig

[ashen thunder]

Yea
Very useful medal indeed

[tough oriole]

The medal isn’t even that pretty

[fallen path]

I like my HS medal

[hard wave]

I just want it gone from my missions tab

Still have like 6 still there, 3k lodge interactions, 20 lvl 100s in lodge, days logged in (500 smth/730), 500 smth big pearls/1000, like 4.6k gear upgrades/20k, and the HS medal

[limber stream]

9k away from 100k. Help me continue to save, my brothers

[feral vale]

[mint zephyr]

Gl man

I’m gonna save forever until ash rerun comes

[summer goblet]

Excellent point

The best I can do is to help and guide them

And the first step is to set a personal challenge to not nuke their account

[summer goblet]

I guess i did, i just like to hold it of for a bit to see how far I can go

Also, can we bring back weekly bingo challenge

Those stuff is pretty fun

And also some incentive if they hand out candy coins

[dark cliff]

So many bait banners

[tardy fiber]

I wonder if many people still dont know that 12% Master Fair banner rate is actually only 1% for that featured MF pair

Saw a couple of salt chat post saying they hate the game for giving hope, 1% rate is not really a great rate of hope to lean on

[hard wave]

Its actually a lower rate than pokefairs; 12% for a 5* and 8.33% for that 5 star to be the masterfair

Vs 10% chance for a 5* and 20% chance of it being the featured

[naive imp]

How long till anniversary again? I'm kinda happy with my savings reached 28K today

Would be nice if i could get a pity before it reaches

[hard wave]

Also, not sure if I should spoil this so ill just do it jic || if u have multiple favs u want in a month how do u resist pulling for the ones to come out first? Esp if they r like 2-3 weeks apart its hard for me to wait for those to come out like 12-20th ish when someone else I want comes out like the 30th-2nd ||

[dark cliff]

Isn’t a 12% for 5* just not@the master pair

[hard wave]

Yeah

[tardy fiber]

Yep, only 1% featured pair and 11% for other general pool 5*

[naive imp]

From what i know masterfairs have 12% pf chances of a 5 star the featured being 1% amd pokefairs 10% of 5 stars the featured being 2%

[hard wave]

Yeah featured is counted within the overall percentage

So like ~28.56% chance that u get the featured if its a 5* on a seasonal SC spotlight variety banner

30 or 45% chance on dual/triple pf banners, 20% chance on single banners, 8.33% chance on mf banners im assuming

[tardy fiber]

I will save gems on skip month to prepare on having gems for things like this, also if things really bad like lack gems, i will prioritise the one thats harder to rerun first so Master Fair > Pokefair/Sc > Seasonal

[hard wave]

[tardy fiber]

Although some might say SC is seasonal but pokewar rerun earlier than expected and there's still no instance for them rerunning for the second time yet

I will change my opinion if they rerun pokewar again

[hard wave]

But for me rn || its usually skip month > pull month with multiple favs, repeat and its hard to resist pulling for favs even if I dont have enough to pity esp since my rerun list is kind of long rn ||

|| and I ended up spending uh alot on gloria without getting her, which I shouldve saved for ethan guess it’ll be a reminder in the future ||

[hard wave]

Maybe it was related to SC Rosa, so they did the SC event then ig?

Guess we’ll see when they rerun this time

[tardy fiber]

Pokewar supposed to be on November but they rerun it way earlier on anniversary last year

[crisp oracle]

Hopefully Pokewar is next month then I am free

[hard wave]

Removed ingo red and ssa cynthia from my list, decided I didnt rlly want them

Hopefully able to get the rest on their next rerun would be nice to finish it off bw now and maybe half anni or june next year

Maybe there will be some good double/triple banners

[tardy fiber]

Unova VA rerun might be soon, they are kinda due

[broken mulch]

Man, still no shiny Rapidash

[tardy fiber]

Im still looking for shiny slowbro

11 chances left

For general pool shiny eggs, im still looking for shiny squirtle

[hard wave]

I only did 15 for the missions and luckily got one

Well, kind of

[tardy fiber]

F2P shiny rapidash

[winged fossil]

ive been lazy this month, so just now got together my pity for anni. kinda just waiting for news on wtf is going on for anni this year before i sweat about rushing gems or anything

still got a couple thousand or so gems prob to collect out of whats available rn

[coarse lynx]

What's the doc that has all the recommended gem buying

[tough oriole]

#1010215980175208468 ?

Everyone has slightly different opinions on what is worth buying, but the Daily Gem Bundle EX gives the most gems for the cost

[coarse lynx]

Thanks

I also wanted to see the supported currencies

[tardy fiber]

True, i used to have many offers that i considered but after my currency getting hit by price increase twice... I only grab daily gem bundle EX

[turbid sapphire]

6.4k more until pity!

||it is very upsetting that i likely won't be able to hit it before nemona leaves and she's a fav but i'm waiting until datamine ||

trying to stay strong

[weary spire]

I don’t know if just the new legends existing necessarily means anything tho

But a mon like Arceus in this game would be hard-pressed not to be the broken being… Arceus

If it helps, I don’t think you should expect Arceus anytime soon, either. It really does feel like an EoS mon and I don’t wanna see it

[weary spire]

Gj!! V close to your 4th pity

[sturdy hatch]

Canonical soft reboot Pokemon

[tardy fiber]

Nah just saying that playable Arceus doesn't mean it will be EoS, as the game keep printing cash it will stay alive

Arceus is a gen 4 pokemon and we already become gen 9

Also if a pokemon is broken in mainline game, doesn't mean its broken here

Zacian is pretty tame here than mainline game meta

Kinda why i was surprised people dreading Regigigas slow start if it is playable in PoMa, its not guaranteed to be the same

[weary spire]

I don’t think of it to do with gens, and it’s not about it being broken in mainline games

Arceus is, has always been and will be (for the foreseeable future) the literal god of Pokemon, its entire thing is being any type it wants to be
So from a unit function POV, how do you make that into a balanced pair without just making it broken as a unit, unique enough from Silvally, etc.? Who do you even pair it up with that would satisfy people? Why would it even pair with someone? How do you justify any of that from a lore POV (even with PMEX’ shenanigans)?
Why would you even release it at any point sooner in the game’s lifetime?

And more I just think it’s not the best idea, I’m not saying I don’t want to see it just bc “it’d be broken,” hell, it being potentially underwhelming as the god of Pokemon would be equally cringe lmao
I just wouldn’t want it in the game until its last breath personally

[ashen thunder]

Counterpoint: god of space is free ♿♿♿

[weary spire]

There’s a “god” for p much every specific thing as legendaries, that’s kinda how they are :p

But god of the entire universe is another thing entirely

[tardy fiber]

Well still doesn't mean it signifies EoS

[weary spire]

I don’t think it “signifies EoS” as much as it makes sense to follow near EoS, which is similar
