Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[vale ivy]

||seriously, I think it's intentional they keep red as the best unit||

[vestal leaf]

Btw guys spoiler talk if you're talking well about fomo units

[lost bobcat]

Hmm i'm running everyone fine so far, just get used, he gets free moves frequently

[vestal leaf]

It's the least you can do

[upbeat lotus]

||Never gonna give you up. Never gonna let you down||

[latent salmon]

ice hse event masters dreams are DEAD after ||nc red||. no way in hell am i ||pulling on that just for hse .||

[latent salmon]

[glossy isle]

||yeah, i kinda get the feeling of it, a bit of slow self-setup for debuff but eventually her bmove really makes up for it, also potion kinda nice hehe||

[unkempt vortex]

Ice? What about bug

[mental skiff]

my biggest fear...

[unkempt vortex]

Bug is forever in shambles

[vestal leaf]

||I'm tempted because boy he looks like a fun unit to offregion with alongside Irida||

[glossy isle]

Shiny genesect

[uneven pewter]

I am on my phone so I don’t know how to do spoilers with it

[lost bobcat]

Bte another electric kanto mf
Taught 2 rats were enough

[uneven pewter]

Need an upgraded guzma

[mental skiff]

| |

[vale ivy]

|| both ends

[unkempt vortex]

Ice at the minimum has hala and ghetsis for free and gen pool

[mental skiff]

That how you do

[latent salmon]

no bugsy ex, i will never invest in bug units (other than aaron) until bugsy ex.

bugsy ex.

[unkempt vortex]

Burgh? Lusamine? Guzma?

Or you just / spoiler

[glossy isle]

Glass cannon

[lost bobcat]

Bugsy

[glossy isle]

||spoiler ||

Works well

[pure arrow]

Noland for Hoenn supremacy (I say, casually throwing away my Alder)

[unkempt vortex]

Ground ain’t any better

[lost bobcat]

Burgh getting +2 crit from pb, damn you dena

[latent salmon]

i will only use bugsy for bug if he gets ex. just two tanks that keep him alive and bugsy.

b u g

[mossy hawk]

It's obvious that || Regigigas || is the real prize for this anni

[latent salmon]

this is my way to spite dena for not giving him ex yet.

[glossy isle]

|| normies supremacy ||

[lost bobcat]

I follow the normie zone

[latent salmon]

actually

why wait for ex? bugsy dps

[lost bobcat]

Nolan

[latent salmon]

no need for any other fancy bug unit. just bugsy.

[glossy isle]

Even bugsy scyther they still dont give it to us since his first debut and also free

[lost bobcat]

Misty Blue Giovanni reran so many times

[vestal leaf]

All 3 Regis actually

[uneven pewter]

||Ground has gotten far more love recently as much as poison and ice. I am hoping bug will finally get its turn soon because i hate lucian giraffirig without having any physical bug units.||

[mental skiff]

[pure arrow]

try 2 on both sides

[mental skiff]

II

[uneven pewter]

There we go

[unkempt vortex]

That’s so much work

[uneven pewter]

God i feel like i am showing my age -.- being corrected on technology

[mental skiff]

Kid these day

[unkempt vortex]

There’s a built in command in discord

[vestal leaf]

Speaking of poison

Zoneless Ariana has a great nuke I really hope we can select

[mental skiff]

We cant

[lost bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/seal-suddenly-chill-relax-wiggle-gif-7310016

[mental skiff]

[vestal leaf]

Is it really random?

[unkempt vortex]

The select is for a free nc

[vestal leaf]

How can we tell beforehand

[mental skiff]

It doesnt say select tho

[lost bobcat]

Select is select

[mental skiff]

Guaranteed instead of select

[vestal leaf]

Zzz

[lost bobcat]

If not was just guaranteed

[uneven pewter]

I am praying it’s a select but i fear it’s a 50/50

[unkempt vortex]

Just don’t get mixed

[mossy hawk]

Well you still need tech candies for the nuke

[unkempt vortex]

The opponent will mess up the 50/50 set up

[vestal leaf]

50/50 sucks... It's like that time they did 10/12 tickets with a 7% of 5* and 4.5% of an old fair

[unkempt vortex]

Bad oki

Fake 50/50 set up

[vestal leaf]

Sure, but it's no archer with sprint role lol

Archer will be the new cheren

Nobody will have him 2-3/5

[uneven pewter]

Mate I don’t care if she needs candies

I have been waiting to sing this number

“Silver’s mom has got it going on~”

[unkempt vortex]

She does tho

[uneven pewter]

She will have them

[unkempt vortex]

Now get the family back together

[latent salmon]

ex ariana so everyone is in black

[uneven pewter]

Just saying

If she has the theme

The dysfunctional family theme

[unkempt vortex]

No wonder silver has family issues

[uneven pewter]

Dena confirms it

[unkempt vortex]

His mom and dad are evil

[uneven pewter]

And it’s no longer just a theory

[latent salmon]

complicated family?

[uneven pewter]

Yep

[vestal leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/gtlive-matpat-steph-gif-13148592

[latent salmon]

they didn't give it to SSGio and SSilver i think they forgot

[vestal leaf]

Poison
Johto
Villain

That's it

[latent salmon]

or it turned into N and Ghetsis

[vestal leaf]

Sorry

[latent salmon]

wait...

[unkempt vortex]

Did you know that Ariana is Silver’s mom NOT CLICKBAIT

[uneven pewter]

They also forgot to give ss n the villain tag

[uneven pewter]

[latent salmon]

they only have three theme skills????

this is sacrilegious

[vestal leaf]

I also realized that proton and archer might be related lol

[latent salmon]

dena we demand 3k gems for this crime

[unkempt vortex]

That’s just as bad as the free units

[vestal leaf]

[unkempt vortex]

Actually worse than the free units that’s mc levels

[vestal leaf]

Same exact 1:1 hair colour palette

[latent salmon]

proton hair on the greener side

right?

[vestal leaf]

In poma they look identical

To me

[latent salmon]

oh

iirc proton is greener hair archer is blue-r

[vestal leaf]

Wrong pics

[uneven pewter]

Ooo the absol graphics are up

Gotta go get those in a bit

[vestal leaf]

Idk the hair looks 1:1 to me

Ok nvm I do see a bit of greener

[feral vale]

Do you want the Twitter X link?

[uneven pewter]

Dm it if you don’t mind ^^

[latent salmon]

archer and proton beating the sibling allegations

[wind nymph]

How do I save enough for the Kanto Anniv Trio

I Have Saved 6k rn but that definitely isnt enough for 3 master fairs

[upbeat lotus]

you want to save 3 pities to prepare for the worst

you might have to skip 1 - 2 pairs

[wind nymph]

[uneven pewter]

Pick one and make peace with the choices

[unkempt vortex]

Just stop being poor

[uneven pewter]

Huey

Behave

[latent salmon]

with the current hopium gem count (around 30k including rally iirc) that's enough for only one pity

[uneven pewter]

[wind nymph]

I mainly want Leaf (Because her finally getting another suit has been my dream)

[uneven pewter]

Then you have picked a fave

[glossy isle]

She becomes HuTao from genshin impact

[wind nymph]

How about you spare me some gems?

[glossy isle]

[unkempt vortex]

I will

[uneven pewter]

Just remember the others will eventually rerun

[wind nymph]

True and shes going to send me in a coffin from the gem usage

[uneven pewter]

Ash was the only pair most of us vets knew would likely never rerun

Since that was essentially a collab character

[glossy isle]

[uneven pewter]

Which i hate that dena pulled a fomo like that

[vestal leaf]

I'm so happy it was jn ash

[unkempt vortex]

That’s just gacha games

[wind nymph]

After Getting Galar Neo Champion Trio My Luck Has Drained (how Anniv Character rerun tho)

[vestal leaf]

If it was an actual ash I liked I would've malded

[feral vale]

Yeah we think the shirt thing means he won’t rerun unless there’s a proper deal

[unkempt vortex]

And if a game does do the same collab it’ll likely never rerun the previous characters

[uneven pewter]

We have monthly masters banners now

[tardy fiber]

Im glad Pikachu aint a fave, so i gladly skip Ash

[uneven pewter]

Just like how zerena is getting her first rerun this month in forever

[wind nymph]

My Dumb Brain Is Still Waiting For Alain and Sawyer (& Sceptile from Anime)

[vestal leaf]

Meanwhile SS Leon:

[wind nymph]

Thats A Thing?

[tardy fiber]

Zerena getting support cake role

[unkempt vortex]

It’s been a thing

For months

[wind nymph]

Neat

[uneven pewter]

He will get to ss leaf levels if he hasn’t already

[glossy isle]

Perhaps they rerun after 1.5 years later, like ss serena from 2.5, now she has rerun in 4th anniv, iirc 2nd anni units (anni lillie, steven, N) had their rerun near 3.5 anniv

[wind nymph]

I left for a while after failing Palentine Marnie

[uneven pewter]

Been that way since 3.5?

[glossy isle]

Thats just my assumption

[wind nymph]

Sorry my fault

[mental skiff]

[wind nymph]

I think they mash em all in 1 banner

[uneven pewter]

Don’t be

Perfectly fine to not know

[glossy isle]

Ah, not really, no, each has separate banner, like usual

[wind nymph]

Alright thanks everyone

[uneven pewter]

[unkempt vortex]

Back to lounge talk

[glossy isle]

Even when i cameback since August 2023, i’ve just known it from other players

[wind nymph]

Time for me to pray and hopefully get Kanto Trio

[unkempt vortex]

Not happening

[glossy isle]

Good luck my guy

[mental skiff]

how many gems will you offer for the god of luck

[unkempt vortex]

Never cope on a gacha game

[glossy isle]

Sadly i only have 2 pities by the end of anniv unit banners

[unkempt vortex]

High expectations only lead to disappointment

[mental skiff]

Then you get 2 unit

[glossy isle]

Yup, anni red and blue

[mental skiff]

Oke

[glossy isle]

[mental skiff]

Mf is no joke without pity

[glossy isle]

Paulo, want to grab him in select PF next year i guess

[mental skiff]

He will rerun regularly like lear tho

[unkempt vortex]

Yea ok

And how often does Lear rerun

[glossy isle]

Sadly not with tina, like sawyer and rachel

I guess

[mental skiff]

already 2 time since i played the game

[unkempt vortex]

Paulo is gonna stay in jail

[mental skiff]

1 is consider a lot

[glossy isle]

And i wanna grab my ss acerola too from select PF next year

[glossy isle]

Paid banner lock

[unkempt vortex]

Discord pls

Add a setting for reply ping

[glossy isle]

Really need it especially for user that dont wanna get ping

[mental skiff]

still dont understand ping vs no ping culture but i will respect who dont want ping

[uneven pewter]

Paulo can rot

Worst oc edgelord ever

[unkempt vortex]

It’s annoying to get pinged by someone if you are still in the conversation

[uneven pewter]

Sorry?

[unkempt vortex]

I’m just saying for people who don’t like it

[uneven pewter]

Ah okay

^^

I personally like it since it highlights the reply

[mental skiff]

i thought people just dont like ping when they go always and comeback with ping from stranger

[uneven pewter]

Especially for fast paced chats

[mental skiff]

Same and it make me feel special someone really talked to me

🫶

[hard wave]

I like it cuz when its not highlighted I may miss it

[glossy isle]

Me think so too

[deft glen]

I'm fine with it but sometimes I get pinged after hours of not messaging and I always think I somehow got reprimanded for something

[glossy isle]

Fr, me too 🤝

[timber wren]

in addition to the aoe rebuff on sync he also has a 3/5 tile that shreds -2 defenses on sync, so that becomes aoe too

[feral vale]

Yep pretty much

[maiden kayak]

i dunno if thats worth it

its very expensive unless u are whaling on paid banner for the role cake

[feral vale]

I’d love to see the numbers for people that go for Paulo, cause I bet they’ll be sooooooooo low

[ashen thunder]

People will roll for dusk lycanroc
Not pauloser

But well, it's anni month with a kantrio batch so other banners gonna see less pulls anyways

[feral vale]

Yeah it’s literally the worst time for him and Tina to be units

[rustic heron]

tina got so screwed by being a 4*

[ashen thunder]

Rachel treatment

[rustic heron]

weren't rachel and sawyer at least given out for free

[unkempt vortex]

No

[ashen thunder]

Sawyer was

Rachel wasn't

[rustic heron]

oh yikes

[mossy hawk]

Last year only new pair after anni trio was SC Rosa, who also suffered

[hard wave]

Atleast if u have an extra multi u can get her

[ashen thunder]

Also Lear was pre anni on release

[mossy hawk]

But now it's 8 units

[rustic heron]

not guaranteed to get her

[hard wave]

Now she’ll suffer again

[ashen thunder]

While Paulo banner is right during anni

[hard wave]

Even worse this time, cuz some got her last time so they wont pull again and more banners

[rustic heron]

tina is probably gonna be as rare as paulo

[ashen thunder]

They could have totally moved VA finale to end
But Dena got greedy

So many banners

[hard wave]

I hope we get lots more gems in return

[deft glen]

She should've appear in a better time

[ashen thunder]

Rosca's fate is better than the PFs that are dropping this month

We have like 8 new 5*s competing when kantrio is up

While rosca was alone

[cunning swan]

Palmer and argenta will hold up a fight. That team rocket variety banner though?

[vestal leaf]

It also depends on how many striker roles we're getting in next months

[mossy hawk]

As it is an overkill mechanic, I think I'll just focus on pairs that I love using

Will see how fast they will get to implement it for everyone retroactively

[sand crown]

Sigh

[uneven pewter]

Yea nc blue has a lot of nice but expensive grid nodes

His biggest two being his stat drops in the top right imho

The fact he has vigilance on grid makes him amazing in my book

[mossy hawk]

Yeah those are very valuable, especially because he spams discharge

[uneven pewter]

It at least gives you the option to choose a different lucky skill

[uneven pewter]

Bottom line is though, pretty sure necro was the one that said it. All three of the ncs are extremely over budget kits

Overkill is an understatement

If you want them great but don’t break your wallet over them

This is by far the month of months

That stresses the importance of saving for what matters to you

Dena can and will drop more than what you can handle as a f2p

Picking and choosing is all that much more important

[sturdy flower]

im on high copium rn, they mentioned "more upgrades coming"

and they like to drop stuff month after anni too instead of putting it all together

[mossy hawk]

Last month after anni had the LA revamp

And also same trainer on team update iirc

[uneven pewter]

2nd lucky skill lets go

Just made vigilance the best dps lucky skill sadly

No crits on cleave

[mossy hawk]

CS enjoyers putting HS1 on everything

[ashen thunder]

Just be screenshot enjoyer and run WW3 on everyone

[tardy jolt]

I don’t even want two lucky skills, but please add the option to save different lucky skills for different builds

Like, SS Mina TM is enough for CS and there she would benefit more from Head-start 1 or Adrenaline, but you still want vigilance for LG

I am saying this mainly because it was such a pain to change back and forth lucky skills for HS, which would become way better to plan for with this feature and save us tens of cookies

[uneven pewter]

These folks are the reason redlax is over rated

Just saying

[hard wave]

I just give everything CS2 or Vigilance, with some exceptions (innate vigilance or dauntless etc.)

[ashen thunder]

But redlax has paralysis which is also staple for lot of LG tho

Also psure even CS users don't even use him much

Since we have way better supports

[grim plover]

me

[grim plover]

but this. Paralisys for uxie, minipotions for AoE spam, flag bearer maximizes attack in LAs and def drops

[ashen thunder]

Too bad his grid is garbage

Maybe 5/5 will save him

who am I kidding, SSred got a shit 5/5 grid

[round mason]

im exposed

[sturdy flower]

that was surprising, but at least I can keep him 1/5 now

[grim plover]

But blue got a really good one and he's a support

[ashen thunder]

Only 4/5 for blue coz first aid 4

10 energy cost for freevenge 4

It's such a bait

[grim plover]

Freevenge is a joke but fa4 is really good for EBs at least

[ashen thunder]

For 10 cost and how gauge heavy he is, it should have been freevenge 9

Yea FA4 is solid

But SSred expansion is so evil

None of the tiles are really notable

Considering his grid is already expensive

[hard wave]

Apparently SS Blue got a mid grid and he’s my only 5/5 limited so

The 2/5 SS Red tiles r nice tho iirc, so my 3/5 SS Red will appreciate those

[ashen thunder]

Sharp entry is still expensive

[hard wave]

havent rlly used him since forever bcz of vilda but pasio CS

[hard wave]

What about solar flare

[ashen thunder]

It's expensive as well

[hard wave]

Ill just wait for the doc to update

[ashen thunder]

Like
His existing stat tiles were already like 3 or 4 cost

[grim plover]

Tbh he's already really good and his new nodes make a slightly upgrade/QoL. But his main problem is the lack of energy

[ashen thunder]

So giving his expanded grid tiles 7 and 8 cost is so painful

I mean, it's barely any qol either

Crit was never an issue to begin with since his best partners all set up crit

He wanted a different multiplier instead of haymaker or fierce entry

Like recent SSMorty buff was just +1 crit on TM and bulu already gives +3 crit turn 1

[hard wave]

Cant believe he got SF 9

[ashen thunder]

SF2*

[grim plover]

Yeah but if Acerola uses tm she can't max attack in 3 turns

[hard wave]

Stand fast 9

[ashen thunder]

If you don't use acerola TM, she wouldn't buff speed and defense

Oh yea, that tile is legitimately good

[hard wave]

Yeah but I assume almost everybody uses blast burn

[ashen thunder]

That's why he got sync thinker 1 for it

FB is useless without bulu anyways

I am just surprised they didn't make him work with Morty

Who was recently buffed to give more crit buffs

[light oyster]

I'm getting frustrated with POMA right now. I feel like both the LG and extreme battles require pairs to have vigilance/lucky skills or move skills that I just don't have them at. And even when I get cookies for them I immediately have to use them, often wasting most or all of them because I get unlucky

[sturdy flower]

huh I just noticed

but it says 3k gems in english trailer

and 7k in japanese?

does anyone know what's up?

are they going to filter us from getting this somehow? https://twitter.com/pokemas_game/status/1695270340136403254

[clever oyster]

but I guess there's always a first time

[sturdy flower]

it also seems to have some twitter linking thing

so maybe that's how they will filter people?

[clever oyster]

funny how they still call it Twitter, though

proof that nobody likes the new name that Elongated Muskrat came up with

[sturdy flower]

what matters is how weird this whole thing is

[hard wave]

Apparently JP included the pkmn presents gems and 1k from some other mission but im still confused abt what that is

But they arent getting extra gems

[deft glen]

where r the japanese speaking people in the chat

[sturdy flower]

what about these 3k from retweets

they didn't mention them for our players

[tardy fiber]

Cannot wait for anni, for the 2 regis

Gonna give sentry entry 2 to Dana

[uneven pewter]

I ask the same thing

It’s like@a secret society trying to figure out where those conversations happen

[vernal glade]

So I wonder why they made a rally exclusive to Japanese

[lost bobcat]

Hard to tell but there is only one server idk if they can filter out ppl
Btw even if most of the rallies are carryed by jp it's not worth risking to upset players

[mental skiff]

Time to change my name to jp

[tardy fiber]

I just hope that the gem presents are for all players, because we did help em reposting

Or because the rally this time is easier as it only need 4k reposts so they dont post it at English?

Usually they post in English if it needs 20-30k

[mental skiff]

It is not bad to get more than 4k tho

[tardy fiber]

Well they trauma after 50 spirits boycott

[mental skiff]

True

[lost bobcat]

Funny thing is they could just lower the monthly gems by 1k and stick those to the newest rally

[tardy fiber]

Also i know where the 7k from JP is, its 4k from here plus pokemon presents 3k gems

[feral vale]

Idk if here is the best place to ask that?

[tough oriole]

Probably more of a #poma-questions question, since its about gem spending (this is the gem saving thread)

[lost bobcat]

Including the current seasonal s?

[tardy fiber]

I hope the co-op rally event gives good rewards like team magma aqua event

Because it says it depends on how many people clearing the missions

[hard wave]

Idk im also confused tbh

#pm-bulletin-board nick put an explanation here ig

However idk what the run up to anni missions refer to

[sturdy flower]

i hope we get rrrraids

because the letter mentions completely new way of battling

[tardy fiber]

Yep

Raids are nice

Also i think at this point, meta probably hard to affect raid...as we got a bunch of pairs, many pairs started to get overlapped...like smliza and annisteven, so even if they make raid boss that cater to new pairs, chances are we might have other pair that still fits the criteria

[hard wave]

We actually got co op content this month so

[sturdy flower]

just make it like super hard x people LA

or something like terra raids

these can be fun

[tardy fiber]

I just hope that co-op doesnt cater to paulo, i dont plan on pulling him vgio too

[sturdy flower]

nothing will cater to Paulo

[tardy fiber]

Because team magma aqua co-op event cater for maxie archie

[sturdy flower]

i actually considered something silly ||gambling for Tina in 3 multi|| but I'm afraid to get the dumbo instead

[rustic heron]

it's stupid how she's limited

[sturdy flower]

what are we beating on coop btw

[hard wave]

#1012256199128915968 message

Stop the evil mastermind

[rustic heron]

they should really add sawyer, rachel, and tina to gen pool

[sturdy flower]

so Paulo?

i will beat him 24/7

I hope next Pokemas day we get another 5* of story character like Calem for example

[tardy fiber]

Separate rally good rewards hopium

[upbeat lotus]

watch it giving out actual candies

[tardy fiber]

The rocket admin ticket is probably one of the rewards as absol said its missing in exchange shops or missions

[deft glen]

or the amazing Cheren copy

Can't wait to get MPR2 on Full Heal

[sturdy flower]

here's your 1 roll cake coin each

[tardy fiber]

Yep cheren 3/5 is nice

Hope i can get it over time

[broken mulch]

LMAO Cheren

Gets story importance and then nothing gameplay wise

[sturdy flower]

at least he's not Nate

or Selene/Elio

we truly live in a society

[deft glen]

selene alt when

[tardy fiber]

Alola NC trust

[sturdy flower]

it will be Lillie

we are about to have our first Neo Champion Champion too

[tardy fiber]

Dont worry there's 3 left...zeraora, magearna, melmetal so lillie can join in

[sturdy flower]

it's not always legendaries

[tardy fiber]

Yep, but only the frogs aren't legendary so legendary kinda have a nice rate

6/8

[hard wave]

I want 5/5 calem acerola and rosa for the lodge frames

Going to take like 16 months if its a monthly thing tho

[grim plover]

im worried about that. I dont think they will make NC just one protag so its gonna be either both protags or gladion + lillie + hau

[uneven pewter]

I just want to know if the damn ticket is a selector

[sturdy flower]

i just want to know if the admin is guaranteed at all

and if Gio is included

they could be like these new year tickets where units are in a pool but no rate up or anything

[mint zephyr]

I want to pull for something potentially game changing like the rats but I’m not sure if this anni is it

Anyone else pulling?

[oak crest]

probably should ask in #poma-lounge or #poma-questions , we only advise on pulling faves here and skipping non faves

[tough oriole]

This is the resource saving forum, not the resource spending forum after all

But don’t ask for advice in #poma-lounge , people there are silly

[tardy fiber]

Im pulling regice and registeel in 2 resets

Pray that i can get sentry entry 2

I only have few silver deluxe

[uneven pewter]

I mean i give facts about the unit if it’s asked but ultimately I won’t tell someone to pull or not pull

This channel is also about managing resources

[mint zephyr]

No that’s exactly what I’m asking

I only want ash

But there’s no ash

And there’ll never be an ash

So do I just never pull?

Or in terms of this forum, do I just save forever?

[tough oriole]

You don’t have any favourite pokémon?

[mint zephyr]

Good luck

[mint zephyr]

Only pikachu

And ash

[sturdy flower]

you keep 36.6k at all points

[mint zephyr]

Ash and pikachu was why I came for this game

I didn’t realize that he was an anniversary exclusive

[upbeat lotus]

then just keep 36.6k gems at least

[sturdy flower]

meta wise zapdos > articuno > moltres

[oak crest]

hm... looks like u have little to no faves, well maybe u can consider going for meta units whose kits you like then, as long as you have at least a pity ready for that banner

[sturdy flower]

just keep that Ash pity

[unkempt vortex]

Ash is in jail

[fallen path]

out of all the units, Ash is to be blunt the least likely to rerun

[oak crest]

||For me, I'm going for all 3, yeah I'm a meta chaser as I have very little faves||

[unkempt vortex]

Don’t be surprised if he never comes back

[fallen path]

I won't say it'll never rerun, but it's the hardest one to predict

[mint zephyr]

Yeah I was hoping this anni would have meta changing units like the rats

But all I saw was a disappointment

The neo champions look so meh to me

[grim plover]

dena really said, there's no ash in ba sing se, in the survey

[mint zephyr]

What’s ash

[oak crest]

the kanto neo champs are about similar to the galar version in terms of meta

[sturdy flower]

but there's no Marnie

[oak crest]

||although blue is a really insane support for special based elec pairs||

[mint zephyr]

I know nothing of the galar version except that they’re ass

Well according to what I was told 2 months ago

[grim plover]

|| they're way better, except for leaf||

[upbeat lotus]

dont trust #poma-lounge, thats the first lesson

[unkempt vortex]

Truly critical thinking does not exist anymore

[mint zephyr]

I actually asked #poma-questions

[unkempt vortex]

Even better

[oak crest]

hmm

[unkempt vortex]

The help doesn’t know what it’s doing

[oak crest]

that's odd, wonder why they said those are ass

[sturdy flower]

generał strategy discussion imo

[upbeat lotus]

noone in #poma-questions gave that type of answer

[mint zephyr]

I was told over and over how amazing the rats were and how they will never come back

[sturdy flower]

Red will be back

[oak crest]

SST will rerun eventually

[mint zephyr]

I was devastated when I saw 3 kanto units and no ash

[oak crest]

its ash that is a big question mark

[mint zephyr]

I even talked to Dena themselves

[unkempt vortex]

What

Cap

[sturdy flower]

John Dena

[oak crest]

the chance of anime-related reruns are close to 0

[mint zephyr]

Yeah I kinda ambushed them while they were trying to get home from a dinner

But we still talked

Kinda

[oak crest]

they probably need to get some sort of special permission to rerun and/or modify those units

[mint zephyr]

Only special permission they need is from me because they owe me one

[grim plover]

thats why no jessie & james grids

[oak crest]

Jessie/James also got that fate

no EX, no grids

[mint zephyr]

I gave them a dollar when no one supported them

[oak crest]

no rerun too

☠️

[sturdy flower]

it is silly because these are from their own company

[mint zephyr]

I was there for them when they had no one

:’(

[unkempt vortex]

I mean not really?

[mint zephyr]

Who even is ariana tho I don’t remember ever seeing her

[sturdy flower]

there are games with permanent collabs of other franchises

[mint zephyr]

Is she from the manga?

[sturdy flower]

no

[unkempt vortex]

For those games sure

[hard wave]

Hgss

[upbeat lotus]

everyone except Ash, Jessie, James and some original Pasio characters is from the mainline games

[unkempt vortex]

But there are some games like bleach brave souls which had to get the license to even release movie characters

It doesn’t apply to everything

[oak crest]

yeah, its pretty odd why pokemon anime and pokemon games seem to have a clear cut that they cannot use anime chars without special permission

while most anime mobile games can use movie chars(which sometimes are a standalone show) and even rerun them without much issues

[unkempt vortex]

Licensing and ownership is a funny world

[sturdy flower]

mess in the company

[tough oriole]

She’s a team rocket admin from the johto games

[unkempt vortex]

Tpc refuses to acknowledge the manga exists

And wants to keep it that way

[sturdy flower]

probably another collab if anything

with licensing hell

[uneven pewter]

|| special based pairs period even if he’s not being used for rebuff and electric field his debuffs and buffs are so over stacked it’s a bit insane. ||

[mental skiff]

one more day till free 6 pair

[latent salmon]

she's a rocket exec from hgss

can't blame you for forgetting though. rocket execs can be forgettable

[tardy fiber]

More memorable than team flare girl executives though

The trio with different color hair

But same glasses

[mental skiff]

they are just suck... I cant never remember any team flare member

[tardy fiber]

Xerosic

Malva

[junior fiber]

Do I REALLY need NCRed if I have HLeon at 3/5?

[tardy fiber]

You don't even need hleon if you have hala

[mental skiff]

Malva is E4

[latent salmon]

all i know is that the first letters of team flare admins stand for uh something

[mental skiff]

should reject team flare title

[junior trout]

you dont even need hala if you have bp candice

[junior fiber]

Too late, I already have 3/5 HLeon

[tardy fiber]

Nah she's ice special damage

Hala and hleon both physical ice

[junior trout]

tru

og candice then

[mental skiff]

Dont need both if you have OG candice

[junior trout]

ramming speed ice punch goes crazy

[upbeat lotus]

dont need all of them if you have Wulfric

[mental skiff]

True

[junior fiber]

...I'm just going to take all the silly answers as in "No, you don't need NCRed if you already have HLeon at 3/5"

[maiden kayak]

so im assuming 31k after anni 3k presents?

[junior trout]

correct

[mental skiff]

Good gems count tho

[junior fiber]

At least it gives me a chance to try to get SSSerena and Palmer. Phew.

[maiden kayak]

so it is or is it not?

[mental skiff]

[tardy fiber]

30.8k for now unless there's anni 3k gems presents

[maiden kayak]

wait huh

[tardy fiber]

We got rally 3k gems

[maiden kayak]

twitter dont count because its counted as next datamine

[mental skiff]

[upbeat lotus]

the Rocket rally might give gems too

[mental skiff]

It is on 29th tho

[tardy fiber]

This rally

[mental skiff]

I dunno why dena delay the rally reward recently

[maiden kayak]

it always been that case

[tardy fiber]

No problem unless you are pulling for rockets

[mental skiff]

I think this is rocket ticket rally

[tardy fiber]

As they expired on 27

[tardy fiber]

So rocket rally need co-op?

[mental skiff]

good luck find me on variety banner

[mental skiff]

i dunno probably something like margikarp event

All server have to coop 1 mil time or sth

[tardy fiber]

Gonna send my ncmarnie or ncred

[mental skiff]

As always

[vernal glade]

Well I don’t know what weakness the co-op is but I’m sure we can reach it.

[latent salmon]

time to pull up to rocket rally with triple silver

[upbeat lotus]

||https://youtu.be/YdJWrn1TWk4?si=KAcQ7L-Jsq37iEkU||

the trailer shows 7k gems at the end

i should spoiler this incase

[hard wave]

Its nothing new tho

[upbeat lotus]

its more about DeNA's inconsistency

[hard wave]

Oh

[unique ivy]

||Do you think we’ll get enough for pity from daily gems like we did in the Galar Neo Champion event||

[tardy fiber]

So its this 4k + 3k from presents

[unique ivy]

Mk

|| No like how u could get a free SS Marnie or the other 2 by only doing dailies for them from ||pity||

I give up

[hard wave]

Yes, and 900 from the free select missions

[mental skiff]

SS Marnie

[tardy fiber]

I need to spent 300 paid gems

DeNa will do 5* guaranteed 10 paid gems everyday during anniv later

Oh its only for 10 days, so 100 paid gems only

[fallen path]

Is that basically like the 100 paid gem pomas banner except it’s 10 gems a day for 10 days?

[onyx hornet]

same banner but x10 times the characters, and hopefully Drasna/ Olimpia are added

[upbeat lotus]

Where do yall confirm its daily instead of being one time only?

Im very curious about it

[onyx hornet]

the dev message says this and datamine summary shows the banner lasts 10 days

[tardy fiber]

Yep so its 10 times cheaper

Hoping to get melony and other not yet 3/5 spotlights

[upbeat lotus]

Thats good to know! ||Staring at my 50 paid gems||

[slate ether]

if only it wasnt
paid gems

[fallen path]

more than 10 times because its a x11 scout instead of x10 like on pomas day

[mental skiff]

why you guys need 10 gems scout... Bunch of gen pool unit that we will soon has 50/5 sync move

[wet egret]

Good for newbs/guy who have 5000/5 of one unit that they dont want and lack others.

Who knows for how long you wait for them

[upbeat lotus]

At worst its free 10

[wet egret]

Better than dumping it on one single daily

[latent salmon]

||im still grimono-less i would gladly take that (if i had the paid gems )||

[mental skiff]

100 > 10

[slate ether]

Starting to build up a decent gem count ||for Birb red and blue , though who I go for first I don’t know||

||I wanna go for red first Cus he is tomorrow but I feel like it’s safer to wait for blue||

I’m still sad / mad that the seasonal scouts were paid gem only

[tardy fiber]

I forgot its x11 lets gooo

[mental skiff]

Better wait for next datamine if you plan to go for second unit

[slate ether]

Mhm, when would next datamine be approximately?

[tough oriole]

+datamine

[jade lava]

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

[mental skiff]

They end on 7th Sept and this month gems count currently is 30800 i guess so you miss around 4000 for 2 pity tho

[lost bobcat]

Well they have to make some money
Seasonal select are fair for lightspenders
I mean 3k vs 20k (tiered seasonal banner)

[mental skiff]

May be there is a world where no gems at start of next month

[slate ether]

I mean that’s completely fair, but I was just really excited to pull for appletun / mallow

[lost bobcat]

Seasonal banners always rerun in their season
And with all the previous units

[slate ether]

Maybe we could get a driplinn sync pair with the new Pokémon dlc dropping

[mental skiff]

Seasonal rerun is guaranteed pity

[slate ether]

||I think I’ll just spend my gems on birb red / blue since the only ice type pair I have that’s good is ghetsis / kyurem and I don’t have any good electric sync pairs||

Though I’ll definitely be grinding lodge leaf Cus her kit seems really funny

[tough oriole]

||You dont have BP Sophocles?||

[junior trout]

Bp soph is rlly good

[tough oriole]

Also champ blue isn’t really a good electric damage dealer on his own; he just improves the existing ones (like hau) with rebuff

But Hau didn’t need rebuff to clear ontype

[lost bobcat]

Electric is fine with Elesa Hau BPSophocles
And you'll lilely get either N Zekrom or Marnie Morpeko from the free pokefair scout
Unless you like Raihan

[slate ether]

Nah I used my ticket on jasmine + crowbar

*crobat

[mental skiff]

I mean you get 1 more ticket tomorrow tho

not bad to invest in the dude and get a bit more reward from the event

[slate ether]

Wait is it Guaranteed BP ticket tommorow?

[mental skiff]

yes 1 rainbow and 1 normal

[slate ether]

Oooo that sounds really good

[mental skiff]

https://tenor.com/view/regi-pokemon-regis-registeel-rejisuchiru-regirock-gif-27623530

cant wait to get them all

[slate ether]

I think I’ll prob get one of the sisters

[mental skiff]

Dana is the best i guess but evelyn, nita is not bad also

[rare swan]

at base Dana is the best choice, yeah

but if you want +4 to both defences at base, go for Evelyn

[weary spire]

I forget now that VA event stages give more per clear, whether that means it's not worth it to exchange for extra dupes of Gio, Misty, Blue, etc. to get

And my brain is too fried to math it out rn before reset

[mental skiff]

Imo Evelyn is better for variety of content

[slate ether]

Uh where’s Dana lol

[rare swan]

28th

[mental skiff]

I just exchanged them all they give you enough tho

[weary spire]

Ye but "enough" is 1 thing, what gives more is another

[mental skiff]

Around 25 ticket per clear in 4 star character event i guess

[weary spire]

I'm just gonna dump all into the VA event for now and math it out later

I can't think clearly rn

[versed flame]

so is it more worth it to grind va, exchange 3 star and up to 4 star?

[mental skiff]

VA is better i guess

[weary spire]

Maybe, I'll add it up later, I just figured someone else might've already tbh

Actually @sturdy hatch Did you? 👀

[versed flame]

though I've already maxed out this month's 3 to 4 star exchange anyway (because of the hundred pair scout lol)

[weary spire]

Fair lol

I have as well a while back, but just helps to have more for future exchanges, as well as just other lower * units as they come out ig

[versed flame]

true true

[mental skiff]

160 per 20 stamina in VA tho

So 40 for a

[weary spire]

Not including the orbs tho but yeah

Orbs aren't too much anyway

[versed flame]

is it more worth it to farm the first or second part of the VA

[mental skiff]

It still add up

[versed flame]

first part gives you more tickets right

[mental skiff]

I grind orb and it help me next month

[weary spire]

Minor, especially after the voucher increase. But they also increased orbs in the dailies to 20 (but that doesn't factor into it being grindable)

[mental skiff]

I thought only kanto VA has 20 orb

[weary spire]

Same amount iirc

[weary spire]

Nope, they updated it across the board

[mental skiff]

[weary spire]

It might've started with a Kanto VA re-run though, not sure

[mental skiff]

I remember i had like dozen of after event end

[weary spire]

But those are just dailies, so it’s a nice bonus but doesn’t reaally factor into what you grind on top of that

Actually it’s a v nice bonus honestly lol

[weary spire]

Yeahh, I figure they’re wanting to increase power-up income to keep up with more units, especially since most new ones are 5* consistently

So we’re exchanging a lot

Not complaining

[weary spire]

If this is true, you compare that to 15+ for a … okay yeah nvm these are def still worth it, despite how it looks lol

[mental skiff]

Need around 340 stamina for a

You still have 2 day of 400 free stamina tho

[weary spire]

Yeah, just gotta burn it on these

[mental skiff]

I already burnt them all so i save 600 stamina for tomorrow

1400 stamina tomorrow

[weary spire]

☝️ Ackshually, I have no idea why there were any doubts, these exchanges are clearly an efficient use of stamina, as they always have been

[mental skiff]

Not like we has anything else to exchange for

[weary spire]

Yeah true, just this and grinding VAs, really

But I should've been grinding the Field training area more... idk why that was the only one I was hardly grinding before I just stopped

[mental skiff]

you dont have to worry tho it is fixed there

Can probably help you in gem zen

[sturdy hatch]

Always do the one with the orb iirc

[weary spire]

I was just grinding Sprint too much too early and blanked on Field, I think

[weary spire]

I more meant whether the event pair exchanges are worth it for their still, after the VA voucher buffs
But answer's yes anyway, pretty sure. Still good value to grind for those and then VA orb stage

[mental skiff]

Just exchanged all drink for ultra or + drink

So i only need 2-3 time in those area to max victor

[weary spire]

I need to dump some stamina into it still, since I barely did it during the bonus ig

[mental skiff]

Around 4 per day not bad tho

[weary spire]

Have it so good nowadays when it comes to

[mental skiff]

true time to 4 * star all egg

[latent salmon]

i always thought the orb-less one was better to grind

the more you know

[weary spire]

Yep, always best to grab the extra orbs

[tough oriole]

I think for the hoenn one a few months ago, the part 1 va was better for grinding since it had much more tickets

[weary spire]

They might've buffed the ticket gain on part 1 but not part 2 fsr? Lol

[mental skiff]

Everyone has 2990 BP this anni month if complete all event?

seem like i will have enough for another rainbow ticket

[tardy fiber]

I only have 3680 BP now

[finite agate]

We know info about tomorrow gem offers?

[tardy fiber]

Poma Lounge said its the same price like last year's Ash bundles

[feral vale]

They are server side, cannot be datamined.

[finite agate]

And anyone remembder this prices? Haha

[feral vale]

#1010215980175208468 has records of previous deals

[finite agate]

Oh great

Ty!

[upbeat lotus]

Annie why are you so fast

[feral vale]

~~Cause Sonic fan ~~

[upbeat lotus]

[feral vale]

But now I’m running straight to bed

Literally 1am rn

[tardy fiber]

Not knuckles fan?

[mental skiff]

Does coin count include BP

[tough oriole]

I don’t think so, since not everyone is at the same place in BP. You could ask tlim i guess

[sweet tide]

I heard someone call me

[sweet tide]

Yes they do include coins from BP based on the count from day1 without any miss

If u are not up to count then u gotta adjust it accordingly for your use

[tardy fiber]

Only lodge milestones coins are not included iirc?

[sweet tide]

Yup

[mental skiff]

But how can i adjust if i dunno how many BP coin from their count

[tardy fiber]

Just add +2990 to your current bp and see how many coins you get

[mental skiff]

i will get 3 more support coin then next month i will get 3+8=12 coin?

[tardy fiber]

Seems like from my current bp, i will get 3 red 3 blue 3 green 1 yellow

[mental skiff]

if it doesnt include BP coin then coin count is that bad tho

[tardy fiber]

Well lodge leaf will give 1 red blue green yellow

[mental skiff]

They dont include that too?

[tardy fiber]

Yep lodge not included because not all people have the character

So Tlim excluded it

[mental skiff]

[tardy fiber]

More if you dont have N/Marnie/Raihan

[mental skiff]

+ 6 for me then

[tardy fiber]

More ||if you pull MF banner 3 red 2 green 1 blue in 5 multis||

[mental skiff]

Btw we have 5 cake coin of each role every month

[sweet tide]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/893411915638923264/1144577734203408474/merge_from_ofoct.jpeg

[tardy fiber]

Thanks Tlim

[mental skiff]

Thanks too

[hard wave]

Bp is included in the coin count?

[broken mulch]

Oh nice enough yellow move coins to get me a candy

[tardy jolt]

So, what is everyone’s opinion about the amount of Sprint and Field coins?
Are we experiencing a crunch due to the fact that the roles are new and they want us to commit more resources to them rn, but the amount will eventually stabilize around the numbers we have for the three main roles or do you think that they’ll always be this low?

[rare swan]

I think they'll eventually become more common

[sweet tide]

Have u opened the picture?

[hard wave]

I did, I mean wont it be different for some depending on their current bp? I assumed it wasnt due to that

[tardy fiber]

The picture states where the coin comes from

If its bp its in that

Even for others

Not clear pic, but you got the gist of it

[hard wave]

Yeah, I mean I thought it’d just include it if everyone is able to get it so I assumed lodge/bp werent included in resource count

[tardy fiber]

Only lodge

Because not everyone have adaman or irida

Perhaps there's someone out there that doesn't even have Leaf

Just add +2990 BP to your current BP and see what it gives you

Like i still got 3 red blue green and 1 yellow

[sweet tide]

The BP rewards count is just a general guide, if u missed anything u gotta make the adjustments on ur own. But usually the amount of coins is the same (maybe a slight discrepancy) since the rewards are fixed at certain numbers

I didnt want to include it at first but its been requested to add in the BP coins since its something everyone would do unlike TL which is controlled by pairs u own

[hard wave]

Yeah, just nice to know, havent seen the breakdown like this before

[sweet tide]

https://tenor.com/view/pat-cat-pat-pat-gif-25250101

[sturdy flower]

because i still don't have Shauna or the plump Galar guy

[ashen thunder]

Me missing 4 gen pool units
And like around 5 of those I own aren't 3/5

[tardy fiber]

It gonna have Olympia and Drasna wont it? Their banner expired right?

So im missing 3 spotlights

[sturdy flower]

me holding my BP in case they adjust:

[tardy fiber]

Wait i want to check my spotlight pairs move level

[sturdy flower]

it should

[ashen thunder]

Hopefully I get 3/5 Olympia this month

Then I can ditch Lear

[round mason]

i am still missing
a lana

[sturdy flower]

my Bea is at 2/5 since a month after i started

[tardy fiber]

Lucian 2/5, hugh 2/5, colress 2/5, looker 1/5, gordie 1/5, shauna 1/5, melony 0/5, olympia 0/5, drasna 0/5...ok im more than happy to spend 10 paid gems a day for 10 days thanks

It could easily be 100 paid just like poma day

But instead its 10 paid

[ashen thunder]

For me it's like
0/5 : Melony, Gordie, Olympia, Drasna
1/5 : Looker, Hugh, Colress
2/5 : Courtney, Lucian

[tardy fiber]

I got lucky in free 100 pulls and managed to get second colress

[ashen thunder]

It used to be worse before the 100 pull campaign

[round mason]

colress wont leave me alone

[tardy fiber]

The one that doesn't leave me alone is Bertha

I think she's like 13/5 or something

[round mason]

im still waiting for next reset

[vestal leaf]

I'm missing hugh, got 2/5 colress, Shauna and looker

No 1/5s kek

[ashen thunder]

Think I'll catch up a bit more on gen pool roster during next half anni 100 pull campaign

Coz Dena doesn't like gen pool anymore

[round mason]

im only missing
Shauna and Lana (Drasna and Olympia too)

[vestal leaf]

Hope you don't get my rng

3 5*s in 10 pulls
2 glacia, 1 Sidney

[ashen thunder]

OOF

I think I got like 7 5*

[oak crest]

i got 7 too

which is the average since rate is 7% for 5*s

[ashen thunder]

Yea

[deft glen]

I want 3/5 Courtney

[tardy fiber]

4440 gems next reset

[upbeat lotus]

Tomorrow:

• Anni banners: ||Red and tons of select||
• Ticket update
• CS reset
• Potentially 3k gems present

What a busy reset!

[unkempt vortex]

It’s swipin time

[oak crest]

Final gem count before breaking my zen.(manage to hit 7 pities somehow) This is probably gonna be my highest gem count for a good while as my gems will likely take a huge beating this month

[unkempt vortex]

Time for me to be broke

[broken mulch]

Man it’s gonna be super busy yeah

Oh wait tickets are also updated?

[oak crest]

tomorrow i suppose

i checked jn the pool is still the same atm

[broken mulch]

Yeah on the reset

[deft glen]

oh yeah, the ticket update

next reset will be so busy

I wish it were today instead of on a monday

Final pre Anni count

[chrome nest]

Time to spend those tickets

[rare swan]

it will be a fun reset 😌 hopefully my work day will go quick

[deft glen]

same

[round mason]

Im more excited for bpval ngl

[hard wave]

Still missing shauna but ticket update is FINALLY this reset

[vernal glade]

Tomorrow will be fun indeed. Finally the ticket pool gets updated

[round mason]

i saved some tickets
but knowing my luck i wont get anything new

[hard wave]

Besides her
1/5- courtney, melony, grimsley
2/5- courtney, looker, lucian, colress, lana
3/5- falkner, sidney, hugh, serena, bea
4/5- ss misty, may, aaron, volkner, elesa, bianca, elio, gladion, allister

Id like anyone below 3/5, serena, may, and elesa for their 5/5 frames in lodge

[round mason]

1/5 grimsley 🧍‍♂️

[vernal glade]

0/5 Courtney Gordie Hugh and Melony

[hard wave]

Oldest 1/5 2nd was lucian but I finally got 2/5 recently

[unique ivy]

I won’t be getting the update till the 28th cause I’m not in the right time zone🥲

[bleak falcon]

It’s not a staggered release, btw

It’s just some time zones will be more widely awake when it happens while others won’t

[feral vale]

Yeah I’m confused what you mean by this. Reset happens the same time for everyone, but timezones make the time itself different.

[glossy isle]

just need to get alive

[deft glen]

phantom ping

[deft glen]

FINALLY, hopefully I can get Hugh and Colress

[mental skiff]

Same

But we only have 1 Unova ticket

[vernal glade]

I need Courtney for ground wish

[mental skiff]

[deft glen]

I want her 3/5 for full nuke

[hard wave]

For the 440 from the VA finale, how many do we get today? Since it seems like its split into 2 parts

[versed flame]

i have so many missing gen pool pairs still (elesa please come home!!!)
straight up don't have her non SS, hilda, colress, bianca, melony, gordie, lillie, selene, and jasmine

[vernal glade]

Same here. CS, Villian Arc conclusion story, gems, and ticket pool update

[severe bridge]

4400 tmrw

[naive imp]

Oh wow that many nice i'll reach pity again finaly

[tardy fiber]

Free bp ticket and new bp pairs

[fallen path]

The big day tomorrow!!

[tardy fiber]

I guess i will use 13 normal bp vouchers, after seeing my 4* tech and support candies stock

I only have abundance of strike

And judging that we can complete 3/4 10k bp milestones a year so that 15+ normal bp vouchers

Enough i guess for next year's bp pairs

[fallen path]

You don’t use the candies for the BP pairs?

[vernal glade]

I only candy 4*

[wet egret]

A topic about gacha
||I just found this interesting topic on different subreddit and wanna ask what yall opinion on this?
https://www.reddit.com/r/OPBR/comments/15c1n3l/advice_from_a_computer_scientist_about_getting/||

[hard wave]

interesting

But does that apply to pmex as well or just that gacha?

[wet egret]

Well they did specify it as rng, not that game in particular

[lost bobcat]

I do agree
I always behaved like this bcs it's no real rng
I think it's like talking abt deck shuffles in physical vs digital formats of tcg

[hard wave]

So its saying || if u pull, do 4 multis a day at most? ||

[lost bobcat]

Hmm why 4?

[hard wave]

Idk thats what the post said

[lost bobcat]

Is that poma?

[wet egret]

nah its a one piece game

its gacha system is pretty much the same tho with guaranteed featured

[hard wave]

One piece, but seems like they r talking in general? Not just abt the one piece game specifically

[lost bobcat]

Ye

The 4 tries is just a upper limit, they say If you get nothing within 4 you'll likely get nothing after if you brute force

Almost impossible to prove it
But I do respect a rule of mine, stopping at any dead pull (for that day)

But luck is luck, even getting the right seed is part of it I guess
I read some ppl were sliding the poryphone followong the arrow animation
But i think it's just to make the pull more exciting

[ashen thunder]

Each game has different people coding different rng so the upper limit will be different here anyways

Also OP gacha is like 2 years before pomas so they likely also have worse rng code than us

[tardy fiber]

Only for strikers, others i will save for lodge pairs

Because i have 22 striker, 9 tech, 4 support

Oh wait 6 tech

[oak crest]

every1 have too many 4* striker candies

[hard wave]

I actually have 0 and need 5 (1 for 5/5 calem, 4 for bp valerie)

And I dont have gLoria

Also need 1 more 3 star for norman and some for jessie if she ever reruns

[uneven pewter]

so i am late to the party

so is it 27,810 + 7k gems?

just wanting to confirm so i check my math

[tardy fiber]

27,810 + 3k gems

[uneven pewter]

damnit

[tardy fiber]

Only left this to hopium

Oh right probably only 27810, because that 3k are given on 29th

[uneven pewter]

so i'll have 75k gems then with this month

not including paid

2 pities

oi

I tried my best but I wish I had more in the tank

@tardy fiber do we know the end date of the rocket banner

or just the start

[tardy fiber]

27th

Sep 6- sep 27

[uneven pewter]

oof

so

do we know anything else about the rocket tickets

ultimately i just need to know if A) there's selectors

b) if i get more than one

[tough oriole]

The free one gives a random exec, the tiered scout one is a select

[tardy fiber]

Might be related to this

[uneven pewter]

so...

ANY of the execs

or just archer and ariana

and is there one free one or multiple

[tough oriole]

One free one
We dont know if everyone’s there but its called the “Team Rocket Executive Guaranteed Scout” or smth like that

[tardy fiber]

Yep absol said there's no way to get it from datamine so it might be server side or the rally rewards

[hard wave]

Hoping for petrel or ariana

[latent salmon]

coping we can get any of em for free

[hard wave]

Idt id use gio proton or archer, but ariana and petrel help w poison

[uneven pewter]

I would use them solely because villains

It's why i am still holding hope guzma gets a sync pair that isn't janky

or gimmicky

or at least gets a grid expansion worth a damn some day

[sand crown]

I like using Buzzwole but yes I agree, especially the grid expansion

[uneven pewter]

meanwhile i am being this level of dumb

[tardy fiber]

I like buzzwole, usually everything just cleared using his 3 sure hit chances

[uneven pewter]

Silver's mom has got it goin' on
She's evil as hell~
And I've waited for so long~
Silver understand~
You're family issues don't bother me~
I know it might be wrong but
I'm in love with Silver's mom

alright dumb fanboy post is out of the way

[tardy fiber]

DeNa giving me hope to 3/5 rosa and potentially other 5* base story pairs over time but then gave me another 1/5 base 5* rocket admin

[uneven pewter]

right?

I feel bad for the folks who candied ace rosa and cheren

[hard wave]

Hopefully they compensate

[tardy fiber]

Im so not gonna spend a candy on that pair as many of my other faves that need it more

[uneven pewter]

i doubt they will be as generous as they were back with the cyrus and silver candies

aka a full refund

[hard wave]

Same

[tardy fiber]

But its not exactly DeNa's fault just like people like me that candy BP Master pairs

[hard wave]

If its not ariana or petrel they’ll rot

And I have other priorities over those 2 anyway

[hard wave]

Not their fault ppl candied cyrus either

[uneven pewter]

i mean i might have use for proton

Giovanni's kit is a bit..weird

but hey another sand setter and sand extension

[hard wave]

I have SS Gio 3/5 so no need for him

[uneven pewter]

plus the AOE sand guard is nice

[hard wave]

Proton ig if I need him

[tardy fiber]

Kinda why i just 3/5 pairs, DeNa might give some of them free someday...like this anni Fair select, i will get my N to 4/5 ...others that already 5/5 marnie, N, Raihan just gonna enjoy

[uneven pewter]

you can never have too much swagvanni

[hard wave]

Yeah but variety

[weary spire]

I didn’t really get the idea, then sort of began to follow what they meant by better odds with the seed resetting… sort of.
But then I thought “what convinces them it resets once a day?” This entire thing hinges on a random guess that these games are run extremely carelessly. Am I wrong about that? Because I’m reading more posts that seem to imply the same

[tardy fiber]

Candying vgio to 3/5 using yellow candies lets gooo

[weary spire]

Basically, I think that entire post amounts to nothing unfortunately lol

But people can still do as they wish

The post itself admits its a totally random guess, too, saying “possibly” without explanation

[tardy fiber]

I got my own banner pulling habits and it works most of the time but nah...i still reach pity a bunch of times as well

[fallen path]

It’s all superstition lol

[uneven pewter]

I personally believe it resets on the hour

[fallen path]

Just like summon circles

[weary spire]

Lmfao I was in the middle of typing this

[fallen path]

You do you, I don’t care lol

[uneven pewter]

it's not untrue though

[tardy fiber]

Pulling the banner inside a toilet for good luck

[uneven pewter]

because at the end of the day code still is code

[weary spire]

I don’t know anything about coding, but if I was behind a gacha, why wouldn’t I have it reset every second or something?

[weary spire]

Is this untrue as well, then?

[tardy fiber]

Like DeNa knows that you are in the toilet

[weary spire]

Both are true it seems

[uneven pewter]

because it's designed to punish fomo

[weary spire]

Which means again, the entire post hinges on a guess at random

[uneven pewter]

and instant gratification

[fallen path]

Bold to do inside the toilet, rather than inside the washroom

[uneven pewter]

generally speaking i forget which gacha i played

but the worst time to pull a banner
