Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[maiden kayak]

||smh they should just give him b sheer cold||

[hard wave]

Idt it’ll activate

I think I saw someone do a solo w him and couldnt freeze cuz of resilience or smth

[crisp oracle]

||good news, I have convinced myself not to pull on Kantrio||

[limber stream]

How did you do that?

[mint zephyr]

Was it because of me consistently ranting about how ass red is

[mint zephyr]

Prob cus I kept whining about how I got robbed and how lackluster nc red is 😭

[rare swan]

I will be skipping all three birds

Not faves, not interested

[tardy fiber]

True, if it isnt fave just skip...like i skipped last year's anniversary pairs, i don't even miss their existence

[rare swan]

I made the mistake of ||pulling SSTR and Ash and now I literally never use them because they aren't faves||

I will not be making that mistake again

[tough oriole]

||OMG same 🤝 ||

||But i also pulled acyn and proceeded to never use her ||

3 pities down the drain for absolute nothing, i wouldn’t recommend it to anyone

[tardy fiber]

Yep we need that type of experience to realise, my turning point is pulling for palmarnie and palbea because they can help boost gloria and hop and hleon...then i realised they will be stuck in the roster without EX and 3/5 move level

[rare swan]

Yup

Don't let the hype fool you. Stronger pairs will always come

Obviously if they're faves then godspeed, but think about it for a bit

Don't just pull because of hype

[tardy fiber]

True, im glad ive been using N as my only electric fave for a long time, and skipped other non faves electric and then DeNa give sshau and this month, finally i can do full team of electric faves

Perseverance pays off

[maiden kayak]

oh really? lol

[oak crest]

I'm surprised you did that

[oak crest]

I'm still waiting for an awesome elec dps/tech

[rare swan]

It was not my finest moment

But that's why I'm ignoring the birds, I refuse to make that mistake again

[oak crest]

i had my moment too, went for Lucas and ended up not even using him

took me a pity to get him too

[rare swan]

Oof

I feel you

[oak crest]

til date i still used him 0 times

[mental skiff]

Same but my problem is that they out-perform others electric unit so now i only use those 2

[rare swan]

Clemont is all I need

[mental skiff]

clemont nuker

[rare swan]

I find it far more fun making my faves work than just sweeping with a pair I don't care about

[rare swan]

People sleep on him, with the right support he slaps

[mental skiff]

true tho i like using favs more so my filter always turn on EX

[tough oriole]

Thank goodness there’s a heart icon filter now

[mental skiff]

Although we cant heart icon MC character tho

Havent used Sogaleo

[hard wave]

|| I got ash but I dont regret it, I just wanted help w my electric roster maybe I shouldve had the patience to wait for SST Red but ash is still great, and SSAC I pulled CHop so im good ||

[dire meteor]

Relatable. ||Pulled Fall Iris and I hardly used her. Literally used a free unit, James more than her ||

[fallen path]

Speaking of, || the only pokefair Ive pitied, SS Cyrus, I don’t really use a ton. Especially after getting CCalem. No regrets because it’s in the past now, but I’m a lot pickier with summoning units even tho I don’t have favs ||

[tardy fiber]

Cannot heart MC BP pairs

[tough oriole]

||Same, but iris & Naganadel are both faves and my james is still level 1

So not the same, its just that i don’t use Firis||

[tardy fiber]

I hope they will add it in the future, i already sent feedback...at least allow non eggmon MC pairs as favourites

[fallen path]

Btw it’s interesting in the survey for the sweepstakes (which I can enter but a lot of you can’t because not Canada/US based), that you can’t choose Ash, Jessie and James for the shirt

[tardy fiber]

I guess all 3 of them are gone for good

[oak crest]

☠️

[mental skiff]

Can wait 30 year anni of pokemon for them to rerun

20 year anni is 2016

[broken mulch]

EX Jesse and James never

[oak crest]

They don't even have a grid expansion

[sturdy hatch]

Hit my pre Anni goal !

[vestal leaf]

Especially if people got irida, Red ain't necessary at all

Especially since we got Dana to pair with glaceon

[rare swan]

Yup!

[grand bramble]

Hey guyz... How are you doing

[violet nebula]

Catching them all

[vestal leaf]

Skipping|| til gigas||

[grand bramble]

Nice

[wind coyote]

Reduced the priority list

[grand bramble]

Well... I hereby to announce you that

[wind coyote]

Took cblue and cleaf out as idc abt them i only care abt red

[grand bramble]

I officially deleted the game

[wind coyote]

did that 2 weeks ago during exams

i came back after i saw red was in anni

emptied a pity on him

[grand bramble]

I'm not interested anymore as far as it goes....

[wind coyote]

why tho

[grand bramble]

Because... I burned out from playing

[wind coyote]

happens to everyone

[grand bramble]

it's been a great 4 years

[wind coyote]

what i do is i take a 1-2 month long break

i burnt out in 2020, 2022 and last month

[grand bramble]

I will return alright... Probably if nostalgia took me in

[wind coyote]

good to hear

[grand bramble]

Or... If Ash return

I mean... The alt one

It's been journey everyone..
I started since the game launch back in 2019

Now... This game turn 4 years old... This is where I get less interested... less motivated

I'm no longer enjoying this gane

[tardy fiber]

Take care

[mental skiff]

better drop it if it doesn't provide any values

[tardy fiber]

True, i dropped genshin because of burnout too

[grand bramble]

[tardy fiber]

Also because game is getting bigger

[mental skiff]

Poma should have something for comeback player tho

[grand bramble]

And... I might be less active here from now on

[tardy fiber]

Iirc they did something like this

[mental skiff]

overrated server

[mental skiff]

[tardy fiber]

But weak rewards like 1k gems

[grand bramble]

Hey... Im still lurking around

[sturdy plank]

don't play for 30+ days and you get 3k gems? idk

[mental skiff]

ewwww 1k gems

[tardy fiber]

I forgot 3k or 1k

But yeap, you lost way much

[sturdy plank]

i forgot because that was from like march datamine

[tardy fiber]

Better to just do daily missions and then close app

Will give more than returning player

[mental skiff]

Log in and take reward from mail that all

[wind coyote]

||Got SS Kris on a daily||

[ashen thunder]

You mean

[wind coyote]

thats one that was already off the list but eh i'll take her

[ashen thunder]

1k skip tickets

Totally needed those

[mental skiff]

if they actually can help me skip log in

[tardy fiber]

Oh right is the skip tickets on daily mission new?

I forgot if they give those before in it

[mental skiff]

No

It is as ancient as the sun

[crisp oracle]

||I want Palmer now lmao, Regi gaming. Probably not a good idea but he last till datamine so I can wait||

[wind coyote]

Heyy dude i remember u too!

[ashen thunder]

Me just coping for secret rewards when anni is about to end

[round mason]

but with ass rewards

[tardy fiber]

Coping for VA rally Co-op rewards that they mentioned in dev letter

[round mason]

if i pinged uh mb

[vestal leaf]

Based pick

That said yeah all units last til datamine so you can guarantee there's no Halloween diantha next month before pulling

[deft glen]

|| that sometimes happens with me with Damage Dealers, but usually not with new Supports ||

[uncut comet]

At least I hope they'll be handy on the upcoming event. I have a very limited roster of that type, it'll be hard

[mild sphinx]

My rerun list :-

Ash, Jessie and James

Never gonna be completed tbh ......

[mental skiff]

just give up

[ashen thunder]

No

Just don't pull for anything else

Till those rerun

[mental skiff]

[oak crest]

☠️

if he does that he will be the chest jr

[uncut comet]

Is very pitiful that J&J haven't a sync grid 😦

[mild sphinx]

Ikr

[ashen thunder]

I made my most sane decision

EX when

[wind coyote]

ok so

now my paid gems for the year r gone

and im on 0 non paid

and my quota is over for the year, so for the rest of this yr going full on saving mode

gonna end this year with 100k is the promise im making myself

[upbeat lotus]

please spoiler pulling results

[wind coyote]

sorry

ill delete

[upbeat lotus]

nah just spoiler tag it

[wind coyote]

regardless

i have the units i want

and now im going into saver mode

100k gems till december bet

cant be mad

||cause ss kris did show up on daily||

Decided to remove Blue and Leaf from the list cause my electric and fire types are already saturated enough

[vestal leaf]

🤝

Now be based like me

[lost bobcat]

No 150

[vestal leaf]

I mean we're probably getting 26-32k range in oct-nov-dec getting 100k before then means really no pulling at all, good luck

[sand crown]

I'm salty Dana didn't drop with EX. What is the actual holdup

[vestal leaf]

True, lemme go exchange the certificates

[vestal leaf]

The last chatelain?

Most likely

[wind coyote]

see there's an issue

i dont wanna pull anymore

[lost bobcat]

ye, all 5* bp pairs have no ex
But not for long i hope

[wind coyote]

for the next few months i wanna play this game like it's not a gacha

[vestal leaf]

Seen a hundred people saying that, not as many maintained the decision past 2 months

[wind coyote]

great then ill start with 2 months

[ashen thunder]

Not enuff PUs

[wind coyote]

ill take the challenge to maintain no pulls for 2 months

if i get used to it ill carry on

[ashen thunder]

Also I still have some favs left EXing and 150

So getting to dana will take bit more time

[vestal leaf]

I got 90-95 from my 3k gen pool tickets

[tardy fiber]

Havent 150 the recent ones but all are 5* 20/20

[ashen thunder]

If they had gotten EX, I'd do it immediately

[tardy fiber]

Still hoping for theirs and Oak

[ashen thunder]

Their grids all have sync focus stuff as well

[tardy fiber]

I think nita doesnt have sync related grids

[ashen thunder]

I should have mentioned most of em

I know Dana , Evelyn and MCs do

[tardy jolt]

I’m gonna 3/5 the Chatelains with time, I think. As of now I’ve 2 MF BP tickets, so I should be able to 3/5 at least one of them, while at the same time saving 2 tickets for the Anniversary

[ashen thunder]

Atleast the ones I use frequently

[vestal leaf]

I only gave Dana special treatment because

• I hate landorus and Nita is my least fav
• Evelyn is my fav but entei is my least fav johto roaming and his kit is pretty ass
  Meanwhile regice is my fav regi alongside shiny regirock, gigas and regidrago

[ashen thunder]

I used candies to 3/5 entei

More rainbow tickets plz

[tardy fiber]

I will make them 3/5 but will take some time though as there's zapdos, tapu bulu, tapu fini waiting

[vestal leaf]

Nita is so fun to run with irida so I'm not regretting that 3/5

[ashen thunder]

If they improve BP climbing speed, it'd salvage candy income as well

[tardy jolt]

Ooof, I’d never be able to do that 🥺

[vestal leaf]

I might ex Evelyn eventually

Doubt I'll 3/5 her tho

[ashen thunder]

Well I love entei

[vestal leaf]

Too expensive

[ashen thunder]

Big fluffy dog

[upbeat lotus]

i would EX Kalos sisters immediately when then got EX unlocked

[ashen thunder]

Or cat

[tardy fiber]

3/5 are nice for first aid 4

[tardy jolt]

If they got EX, I’d promote them fairly soon. I like their designs and they are at least supports, so they’ll always have a niche, however small

[tardy fiber]

Cannot wait for Morgan Virizion next

Inb4 its MC Regidrago

Dragon teamwork

[ashen thunder]

Maybe both

Well there's still a year away

Knowing Dena, they might make morgan a gacha unit

[tardy fiber]

Thundurus electric teamwork

Or raikou

[ashen thunder]

Tbh I was expecting zapdos or raikou to be with MC

With electric HS around

[tardy fiber]

11 more type teamworks left, game can stay for 5+ more years

[vestal leaf]

Mhhh I wouldn't mind it too much since I feel like the galar Regis might be fair tier

Free regidrago I'd take so happily

Even with MC

[tardy fiber]

I wonder who they will give Bug Teamwork

[vestal leaf]

At current rythm they're not gonna finish adding paldea and hisui before 2025

[ashen thunder]

Headstart/propulsion9 on regidrago so I can actually run in dragon team

[lost bobcat]

Gloria (Marnie disguise) & Regieleki
Victor (Rose disguise) & Regidrago

[ashen thunder]

[tardy fiber]

I dont think there's Bug legendary...sure there's genesect mythical, but others are UBs and Paradox

[vestal leaf]

Shiny genesect BP

[lost bobcat]

Tbh i'm surprised paldea joined so early
Ok, they're pushing content like never before but that felt weird

[ashen thunder]

Peak copium right there

[tardy fiber]

I can see Type:Null being Normal Teamwork

[ashen thunder]

At current pace, we'll likely get new generation by the time bug teamwork comes

So maybe that region will have a bug regi

[tardy jolt]

DeNa leaked the typing of one of the Gen 10 legendaries

[vestal leaf]

I think they wanted to take advantage of dlc hype to get people back in masters with paldean rep (which worked to be fair) but plan on adding more than a couple more reps only way later second dlc drop

[tardy jolt]

Actually, seeing how they concentrated so much on Dark and Poison for Paldea, Bug could be not that far off in terms of typing for the next gen of legends

[vestal leaf]

I'm expecting at most 2-3 more paldean reps as fill in content or 4.5 bait for next 6 months

[ashen thunder]

Gloria and leon release had a pretty big gap iirc

[vestal leaf]

5 months iirc

Maybe 4

[lost bobcat]

Yep

Gloria had no region theme for months

[ashen thunder]

Next month might have some hisui stuff

[vestal leaf]

Gloria was December, Leon late February

[tardy fiber]

But all Regis related to civilization age, whats bug will represent?
Regirock-stone age
Regice -ice age
Registeel-iron age
Regidrago-dark age
Regieleki-modern age

[vestal leaf]

.... How about bug teamwork slither wings

[ashen thunder]

Post apocalyptic future

[tardy jolt]

I could bet that Nemona, Arwen and Penny are going to get the Neo Champ treatment in one of the upcoming Annies, which is why I’m going to be saving a lot this year, hoping to go back to 5 pities after Anni

[tardy fiber]

We got space age right, but i wonder what type best represents space exploration and aliens

[vestal leaf]

That I'm expecting only at least for 5.5 lol

[lost bobcat]

In the Carboniferous lived the biggest insects ever

[tardy jolt]

Space bug regi

[ashen thunder]

Well smth like space age is probs flying no?

[tardy jolt]

I think 5th, but tbh predictions I make are always wrong lol. I’m expecting Unova and Alola MFs as well, which are also going to be very sought after

[vestal leaf]

5th is too early

NCs usually happens once PoMa has a fair grasp on the region repping

[wind coyote]

it's crazy to think

3 months ago ice types sucked

now they're a great type

[vestal leaf]

To be fair

SSN was already a great step forward imo

[tardy fiber]

Hleon and SSN

[vestal leaf]

Hleon was meh af at release

[lost bobcat]

Both painful enough

[vestal leaf]

He was saved by palbea

[tardy jolt]

Yeah, that could be also the case
Tbh, I’m expecting Unova MFs as Neo Champs for November and Unova for 4.5 Anni. 5 Anni idk, so that’s why I’m thinking Paldea. We could also see Hoenn, but idk if except May and Steven there are characters that would be Anni worthy

[vestal leaf]

SSN was a great step towards "doesn't need hail to remotely function" direction

And also has still great splashability for future ice supports or DPS

Hell, rn you can easily run SSN, irida and red altogether, all 3 with damage oriented grids, and destroy stages completely

[tardy fiber]

The biggest change for me is poison type, they used to have poison stall as their image but nowadays, you can even nuke and dish high damage easily

[tardy jolt]

He’s in a decent spot, due to having PMUN and thus not being awfully powercrept like other old seasonal strikers

[lost bobcat]

Yep

[vestal leaf]

Poison now is decent but ice easily skyrocketed to 2022 poison tier to highest type tier in 1 year lol

[vestal leaf]

Hleon? Yeah he's good but god his kit is heavy to support in fast battles

Also exless bulk is abysmal

[tardy fiber]

Let me delete that, later its mistaken as flex

[tardy jolt]

Yeah, that’s why I’m glad he’s being phased out, but at least he can provide some depth to your rooster, considering the low number of Ice limiteds that we have

[lost bobcat]

100 spatk to BP Candice and she would have been great

[vestal leaf]

I candied to 3/5 literally 3 months before SSN came out

I don't regret it but I'm a bit pissed at how mediocre his grid is taken out the se^ on kill and ramming speed

[tardy jolt]

I’d say he’s an example of how pulling for damage oriented seasonal unless they are absolute faves is always going to age poorly

[vestal leaf]

Irida fixes her plenty

[lost bobcat]

Ye

But low spatk make Getsist still better

[vestal leaf]

Absolutely

||But tbh I got him 1/400 so I can't complain||

[tardy jolt]

Summer N, NY Volkner suffer from the same fate. NY Lisia and I guess Celesteela are still too new to show this, but I think they’ll fall in line soon enough

[vestal leaf]

Celesteela won't be crept easily imo

[lost bobcat]

Ungabunga units have raw numbers on their side

[vestal leaf]

Infinite pmun stacking, free gauge and good fast setup, plus how little Phys flyings are left to put in poma means it won't be as easy to creep as other types with more possible reps

[lost bobcat]

BP Falkner

[vestal leaf]

^ still likely tho, just not as fast

[tardy jolt]

Yeah, I think that both her and Rapidash have this advantage tbh. But sooner or later they’ll bring someone else in. With Ethan in the bag and no desire to have a dupe Mon, it was an easy enough skip for me, especially considering the literal who they paired her with

[lost bobcat]

After 5/5 and 3/5 grid expansion thennext gamechanging will be the ex roles

Hard to predict

[vestal leaf]

Twins are my only gym fave of hoenn aside Flannery and Winona (the latter having 0.00001% of getting an alt) so I have no regret even tho they shafted me hard

[tardy jolt]

I mean, I can see them getting greedy with the grids and making pairs that require 5/5 to function as intended, but doing the same with EX roles means crippling a pair completely

[tardy jolt]

It’s always pleasant when our faves are good, plus you have that reason to keep using her, which is good

[vestal leaf]

Tbh most 5/5 are barely relevant, and role ex seem like a "just added gimmick value" mechanic

Role ex can't save a mediocre pair

It can make a mediocre pair look better tho, which is something big for FOMO

[lost bobcat]

Striker nukers getting tech ex role are huge

[vestal leaf]

I think it's the opposite instead

Tech ex getting striker > strikers getting tech ex

By a landslide

[lost bobcat]

But are so limited rn, hope it will not take 5 more years to cover half of old units ex roles

[tardy jolt]

I think that SSN and maybe Cynthia are the only pairs that actually have an argument for being brought to 5/5. Maybe Lance? The trend here is very old pair needing all the help they can get lol

[vestal leaf]

Still it's nothing we haven't seen to a degree before with SS Steven, Victor and extend range pairs

[tardy jolt]

It’s also fairly pointless, since everything is going to die anyway, regardless if your Champion Red has the tech role active or not

[vestal leaf]

Lance, Gloria and Cyn 5/5 are really really REALLY good

But Cyn and lance are oldies that were given for free like 3 times

[tardy jolt]

Oh yeah, Gloria as well, Steel Zone is nice

[vestal leaf]

And Gloria was mostly to justify prestige elites

[vestal leaf]

Rebuff

But yeah same

[tardy jolt]

Ops

[vestal leaf]

Her 2 and 4/5 are already very silly tbh

They turned her from one of shittiest PFs to a pretty high tier one imo

[tardy fiber]

I like that cake roles open up more possibilities, like if before this we want a support for support EX sync but you can consider pairs like ncleaf, zerena and paulo now as they have support cake role

[vestal leaf]

Anyway, only those 3 have what I'd call an "actual tempting 4-5/5"

[tardy jolt]

Which is great, since I see 5/5 as extra icing, the fact that they make free pairs better makes them a nice reward for deciding to pull a dupe on one of those special occasions

[sand crown]

Fortunately, the Red/Blues outnumber Glorias in terms to grid expansion viability. Feels like most are fluffy

[vestal leaf]

All other 5/5 are either

• hidden behind a mediocre 2-3/5
• overkill as fuck
• mediocre

[tardy jolt]

I’ve no complaints about how they have handled 5/5 grids thus far. They don’t feel predatory and the good ones are smartly allocated, tbh a huge w considering how they could have turned out

[lost bobcat]

Usually strikers rely on self buff while tech rely on enemy debuff
Depending on situation ofc it's harder to max debuff on every enemy
It's way easier to have ungabunga units doing x1.5
Sure some techs like Adaman which require no setup will be monstous with striker role
But it's up to dena balancing since roles are fixed

[hard wave]

Both are nice but I think techs usually hit harder w their syncs, so now they’ll be aoe

[maiden kayak]

drago is dark age?

[lost bobcat]

Problem is that it's not guaranteed they got strike
So it's very dependent unit by unit
NCLeaf is getting support for example

[maiden kayak]

regidrago is middle ages

a period known for dragons

[hard wave]

Oh yeah, I mean strikes who get tech vs techs who get strike

[maiden kayak]

theres also pirate age (future regiaqua)

[hard wave]

There are exceptions tho since strikers can still have pretty strong nukes

[lost bobcat]

ssSteven getting support and covering all 3 roles

[ashen thunder]

They aren't going to give ideal roles we expect for everyone

Especially old units

[lost bobcat]

Ye

[tardy fiber]

Im happy if annisteven gets support

[ashen thunder]

I wouldn't be surprised if they mess up smth like luSSa by giving her field

[lost bobcat]

Also lost some faith in old units revamp
SsRed ssBlue 5/5 are meh

[hard wave]

Support is the only role he’s missing; speed has sync accel stuff iirc, normal sets terrains (field), attack has aoe sync

[ashen thunder]

Since it's a typing that has best accessible field support

Blue was okay

Red was shit

[maiden kayak]

ppl hoping for ss red buff

lol

[ashen thunder]

Anyone defending red's expansion forget what others got

[hard wave]

He alr got it

[vestal leaf]

Thing is

A striker with tech ex gets 1.5

A tech with striker ex gets 1.5 spread + 2x effect multiplier on base kit

[maiden kayak]

anni may has the worst expansion

[tardy fiber]

I will give cake to zerena first, i think those that change form will like cake upgrade as we're gonna sync with em anyway

[ashen thunder]

Red ties with anni may imo

Befuddle is as useful as sharp entry

[maiden kayak]

bogo 9 psychic terrain

[hard wave]

Is befuddle 2/5?

[tardy jolt]

I’ll probably do the same, she has support role as well, which is her best case scenario

[ashen thunder]

Don't remember which tile exactly

But she did get it

[vestal leaf]

No???

[ashen thunder]

Yes

Both SSmorty and bulu buff crit

SSmorty's expansion is just more crit

[vestal leaf]

Morty gives +2 in first cycle tho

[ashen thunder]

Red with good fire supports never needed crit buff

[hard wave]

Oh its 4, atleast se1 is 2/5

[vestal leaf]

Also, ssred with sharp entry can self +3 crit without needing to click dh+ or have a crit buffer

[ashen thunder]

Also his base grid is already expensive as hell

[vestal leaf]

Also yeah it's a 2/5 so it's more understandable

[ashen thunder]

But both bulu and SSmorty already buff crit

SSmorty expansion even made him buff +2 crit

[vestal leaf]

Sharp entry + sharp entry + his passive +1 on sync means you can dodge all crit buffing on budget teams

[ashen thunder]

Who cares abt budget comps

Just use silver

[vestal leaf]

Yeah but not everyone has those two

[hard wave]

Where does +3 come from? 1 from se1, another after mega, and?

[vestal leaf]

His passive

On sync

Gives +1

[cunning swan]

sharp entry should activate twice

[ashen thunder]

Se1 on grid activates twice on sync

[cunning swan]

one on entry, one on mega

[vestal leaf]

^

[cunning swan]

then his sync move also raises crit by 1 iirc

[vestal leaf]

Yup

It's fun imo

[hard wave]

Ah

[vestal leaf]

For a 2/5 tile

[ashen thunder]

Doesn't make him any more flexible
Sounds like a cope mechanism

Only fun tile is standfast 9

[vestal leaf]

Sounds like you never ran a budget comp like Kris + no crit buffers

Smhnh

[ashen thunder]

I do

Actually budget comp I used to run is Hilbert+sserika

Who already buffs crit

Tho Hilbert was eventually replaced by Sonia

We have lot of budget crit buffers, no reason to glorify red's expansion

He should have gotten a better multiplier than haymaker if they really wanted to give him qol

[heady ice]

would it be wiser to spend the general scout tickets to try and snag a few unowned pairs vs the region specific tickets?

[ashen thunder]

Depends on other region stuff you need

If you need stuff from more than 2 region, use it

Else better to save

[heady ice]

i needed shauna, but took me 6 tries even with her being at 33% lol

[vestal leaf]

How many missing pairs we talking about and how many tickets

[heady ice]

~3 pairs, got 2k gen scout tickets

other regions are around 400

missing hugh, need 2 more of shauna + colress each

[ashen thunder]

You have 400 region ticket for each?

Just use region ticket

[hard wave]

I did general > region, esp since general are much easier to get

I ended up getting my first shauna from it and then 5 more from kalos tickets

[heady ice]

i'll prob wait before using more tickets since ||i'll be pulling for bluedos + leaftres||

[heady ice]

that's what i was thinking

[onyx hornet]

You have a 1.51% of getting an specific character in the general pool compared to 8.33% of getting a Hugh or Colress in Unova tickets. I think region ticket will give you way better chances but if you ran out of Unova/Kalos tickets then yeah use the general ones and pray for the best

[mental skiff]

all my ticket turn into

[hard wave]

I had 55 and 28 of those became I do need them tho, and atleast almost everyone is 3/5

Still have 1/5 grimsley, 2/5 courtney, and no olympia or drasna

[uneven pewter]

You mean 95% of her damage is from her sync?

[ashen thunder]

But doesn't red have worse offensive stat than leaf

[maiden kayak]

huh no

oh i meant ss red

im just talking how “artificially inflated her dmg” is

her dps

[uneven pewter]

Sadly didn’t get my colress 3:5 after i burnt 1000 unova tickets

[vestal leaf]

Her DPS is fine

But she's gimmick incarnated

She does a fuckload of shit and nothing really incredible

The things she does enhance her a lot but it's so messy to keep her from being just beaten by a unit that better compresses those things

[ashen thunder]

She makes debuffs go brrr tho

[vestal leaf]

I also don't like how you need to always leer

Always

[ashen thunder]

I am psure that's her main appeal

You don't have to

Just leer once -1 stat

Then her bmove for -2

[vestal leaf]

Yes you do or you don't get the buddy

Leer as

[ashen thunder]

And bmove again for -4

[vestal leaf]

Once

Per stage

[ashen thunder]

Well leer also has propulsion in TM

[vestal leaf]

You can't, let's say, pair her with alt Leon

And click DPS right away

Sure Leon will double up her debuffs faster

[ashen thunder]

I don't think leer once is a bad gimmick
Else ssmay can be considered shit since she has to lowkick for fast setup

[vestal leaf]

But her debuffs are slightly better than Oleana, who is way faster tho

[vestal leaf]

Wasting energy on such a bad grid already

[ashen thunder]

Oleana debuff 3 stats, cleaf 4 stats

[vestal leaf]

[ashen thunder]

Yea but like

[vestal leaf]

Yeah but alone she needs 4 turns to do so

[ashen thunder]

Still better grid than SSred

Look at that hot garbage cost

[vestal leaf]

You said I was coping on 2/5 sharp entry but now you're coping on that 2/5(?) Afflicter fervor kekw

[ashen thunder]

Well 4 turns to -6 stats while dealing damage is still fast imo

Afflictor fervor

Why pick that

[vestal leaf]

Isn't that the -1 Cd leer tile

[ashen thunder]

Yes but if you don't need it, you don't have to

[vestal leaf]

Well whatever it is, it's still a messy grid with mediocre tiles all around

[ashen thunder]

Since sync Accel comps aren't as F2P friendly

[vestal leaf]

Then why trying to sell it

So many units have -1 cd on gridd

Now

Hers isn't especially worth mentioning

I just think she's gonna be the new Anni N

[ashen thunder]

Well you wouldn't rly pick anything other than dl3 and powerplay anyways

Other choices in grid are just gonna depend on stage

[vestal leaf]

She's good but in a year she's gonna be easily forgotten

[ashen thunder]

Well she isn't a big damage dealer

[vestal leaf]

Like anni n

[ashen thunder]

Utility stuff are always abandoned

Unless you are flinch/sleep bot ofc

[uneven pewter]

Ss may is pretty meh by comparison

She has direhit all

So her gimmick is that she buffs crit for the team

Otherwise nc leaf is pretty much better than her with far less ramp pre sync

[ashen thunder]

Well if you don't factor in ramp, ssmay isn't rly a special unit to begin with

150 BP slow setup dps

Leaf is miles better

The thing is
Debuffers/general utility stuff don't rly have much appeal unless they are screenshot units

[uneven pewter]

I guess

I mean debuffers are always useful

Especially for latias/cresselia

[ashen thunder]

Sadly not many people do gauntlet

[uneven pewter]

Why would they when the bar is low as hell

12 runs isnt hard

Err

10 rather

[vestal leaf]

Well debuffing is useful to mitigate offensive stuff

Like in HS

Multi debuffs are huge

Cserena basically slowly destroying 700 STR Marlon lol

[ashen thunder]

Cerena also has flinch, guaranteed accuracy drops to assist for that

You wouldn't see leaf doing 800 str run like cerena does
Unless you are shoving in a strong partner

[vestal leaf]

Not at 1/5

I used her 1/5 and did 94k Marlon

[ashen thunder]

Well it's all accuracy drops
I did 80k vs Nessa without powerplay as well

[vestal leaf]

With SSB and duck as supports

[earnest kiln]

I wonder if we'll get an Anni rally?

[ashen thunder]

There's already one

The gems are dropping on 29th

[earnest kiln]

Oh

Yay

[ashen thunder]

So gems technically not calc'd for this patch

[earnest kiln]

A Twitter one?

[ashen thunder]

Seems like it

I am not in twitter so I dunno exact count

But I know there's one

Well
Not much hopes on it anyways

[earnest kiln]

May be able to pity ||CBlue||

[ashen thunder]

They can just reduce next month gem count

[hard wave]

These months have alr been low

[mental skiff]

No expectation no disappointment

[ashen thunder]

When you have no expectations and Dena still manages to disappoint you

[uneven pewter]

[gloomy holly]

Just expect to be disappointed everytime

[rancid vale]

why are these prices so bad i just want emma 😭

guess ill just wait for her rerun at this point i dont wanna use this much

[vestal leaf]

The ideal would've been to get a bundle in August and one in September

For 8 bucks you would've had Emma and 1k extra

But waiting for a fair rerun isn't too bad

[rancid vale]

i know the sync orb bundle is the best option but i wanted the rocket execs too

so id need the champion and story bundle

[fallen path]

Tbf, if you do want to spend, the champion bundle is the best bang for buck

[rancid vale]

but thats not even enough for the full tiered scout on the rocket execs banner

i guess the better plan would be to get emma and then do the sc select for sc steven

[vestal leaf]

To spend immediately yes

1k 1buck > 3k 4buck> champ bundles>rest

[livid geyser]

I just got back after a year and need some help on who I should pull

Is there an easy way for me to show you my roster?

[uneven pewter]

Rocket bundle costs 20k something paid gems

Assuming you go full pity

[feral vale]

How are we handling this Anni, y’all?

I haven’t quite checked in a while and I know it’s a stressful time, so I just wanna say whatever your goals are, you got this! There’s no pressure to get anyone, after all!

Coming from someone that skipped the entire NC Galar trio

[crisp oracle]

||Me skipping NC Kanto for Palmer||

[tough oriole]

My goal is to get the Lillie alt that’s coming up

[crisp oracle]

I’ll be ready to eat crow on this statement by datamine

[rare swan]

Faves > meta, always

If you're struggling with FOMO on the birds, I'm skipping all of them

So you're in good company

[rancid vale]

i know its 21k

[tough oriole]

Wait, no one questioned it, which means it’s actually happening

[crisp oracle]

Usually I can convince myself to not go for a unit once I beat their extreme battle

[sand crown]

If anything it’s overdue

[rare swan]

I'll be right there with you

[crisp oracle]

Honestly though, I’m kinda happy Lillie didn’t get an alt. Other trainers got to shiny for Alola VA

[oak crest]

Ye it's overdue

[crisp oracle]

That being said, it’s been a year and a half

[oak crest]

Alola protags and gladion are in a sad state tho

0 alts still

[tough oriole]

Wait tai would pull for a lillie alt

I have immense copium for a month with NC Elio/Selene/Gladion with a PF SS Lillie & Magearna

[rare swan]

I was disappointed she was skipped in Alola VA!

[tough oriole]

I’ve finally ||finished lilliemax and nmax so i need more pandering||

[crisp oracle]

Anni Lillie was the reason I starting saving

[tough oriole]

Not getting OG Lillie was the reason I started saving
Back then I never saved for pity

[tardy fiber]

I skipped last year's anniversary pairs

[crisp oracle]

Same

[tardy fiber]

Faves > Meta

[crisp oracle]

||Now I am very tempted by Palmer||

||because knowing me ima do some meme cs clear with him||

[tardy fiber]

It will always be ||offtype clears with him ||

[tough oriole]

||What’s the meme? ||

[tardy fiber]

Registeel+Regirock+||Regigigas team||

[mental skiff]

https://tenor.com/view/so-true-gif-24068595

[oak crest]

ngl i was disappointed in Alola VA since we got 0 UBs

was expecting 1 at least

but ended up we only get the 4 Tapus and i liked neither of their kits

[crisp oracle]

Biga Bimpact

[pure arrow]

Probably ||pulling for NC Blue|| then skipping the rest in favor of potential Hoenn alts in October

[deft glen]

|| I got shafted on Red, just as always with Red alts ||

[sturdy hatch]

We are prepared for being shafted

[crisp oracle]

this channel has helped me save but it also taught me it's ok to be shafted

it still stings but it stings less, if you know what I mean

[mental skiff]

This channel increase my gems fomo tho

[crisp oracle]

wdym

[mental skiff]

See people with huge stack of gems

[crisp oracle]

eh, we each have our own spending and saving goals

[fallen path]

don't count another person's money or gems

[crisp oracle]

some people here spend a bit more money than others, some of us are completely ftp

[fallen path]

there's always someone richer than you, and someone poorer than you (unless your chest lol)

[crisp oracle]

I'm proud to say i'm ftp but I won't make fun of a whale for spending on this game

after all then I get to watch them use the unit 😎

[mental skiff]

[fallen path]

i don't mind spending real money in the game, it's entertainment at the end of the day

[sturdy hatch]

Pulling vicariously through #1010274591601598555

[fallen path]

still gotta be smart with gems, whether paid, or free

[crisp oracle]

How do I visualize myself in this game?

[fallen path]

look at MC and do a cosplay

[crisp oracle]

I visualize myself as a football GM, with an angry chairman who will get mad if I overspend on junk

the angry chairman is my regret, I do my best to curb him

my goal is to get my team up to the highest standard

[tardy fiber]

I need to prepare myself in case UB variety happens...i will loathe it but i will come to terms with it

[crisp oracle]

the chairman is very unhappy

[wind coyote]

That’s either really smart or really dumb

[tough oriole]

[wind coyote]

wow ok

i just realised

i dont even have 1/4th of the limiteds in the game

and thats not the disappointing thing

the disappointing thing is i have yolod for at least 50% of them

and didnt manage to get them

which is why saved till pity this time and went all the way to pity for red

[cunning swan]

this is why we save until pity, always

[wind coyote]

yep

[maiden kayak]

yea

[wind coyote]

learnt it the hard way

[maiden kayak]

yolo is bs

“the more u yolo, the less u have “

[sturdy hatch]

That’s like 125,000 gems

[past imp]

don't look in the gacha channel. it's a cursed channel. makes you think you'll get lucky and makes you want things you don't need

[wind coyote]

no no i dont mean yolod for the units i have

i meant i tried to yolo for the units not on the list

when those released

but majority of my yolos didnt work

and i didnt get those units

[tough oriole]

Look in the salt channel instead to see people complaining that they didn’t get the featured in the first multi

[sturdy hatch]

Taking your statement of 25% yoloed and not obtained that’s around 125,000

[wind coyote]

yes

and that too down the drain

125k wasted

[mental skiff]

as long as i get original character that playable i feel satisfied

[wind coyote]

i always had the mentality that hey it's a gacha game the main idea is to test your luck
But the whole point is to always be prepared to get the unit you want, relying on luck will only lead to disappointment

now im on 1k gems ready to save for the months ahead

and plausibly saving for a rerun of the frogs

i love the frogs

[mental skiff]

gatcha

[cunning swan]

you could've pitied 3 units with that!

[mental skiff]

Marnie gave me a support coin best day of my life

New lodge leaf too really good day

[tawny cedar]

How many days does blue last Into October?

I think I'll be 3k off pitying him if we don't get rallies or present

[tough oriole]

#1012256199128915968

Oct 7

[rare swan]

Just remember we don't want to discuss pulling new pairs here

[frank hedge]

Been saving up for the C!Kantrio, gotten up to around 8.5k so far. I know it's a little measly but this is one of the first times I'm saving up like this. Should I keep going and wait a little longer?

[tawny cedar]

You should save up 36.6k gems

As that is the minimum to guarantee one character

[broken mulch]

Oof

Almost Miscalculated how much gems are remaining this month

[cunning swan]

only 21k gems remaining?

[broken mulch]

I was afraid I was gonna miss a fave this month haha

[ashen thunder]

This month needs more planning than past 2 annis

Since we have more rate up units and low gem count

[mental skiff]

every month is same

[uneven bone]

I’m at 40 gems after all the summons I did

[ashen thunder]

Imma hope they fire whoever that decided it's a good idea to put 5+ new limiteds in single month

[broken mulch]

If Halloween drops not one but two units I love I think I’m gonna scream lol

[wind coyote]

me too

cept im on 1k but thats too less too

[rare swan]

At least next month will be back to normal

[ashen thunder]

Idk

I lost all the hopes after seeing that paid banner for MFs

I knew paid MF select will be expensive

But not 36.6k gems expensive

[wind coyote]

and it aint even a select

[ashen thunder]

It is

[tough oriole]

Idt you can call it a select

[wind coyote]

it's just a normal banner with paid instead of non paid

[ashen thunder]

You just go for pity

And then select the MF

[wind coyote]

💀

[tough oriole]

Then MFs have had f2p selects since leon’s introduction

[wind coyote]

im kinda gone for the month

[ashen thunder]

Totally

[wind coyote]

skipping the rest of the johtrio and the rest of the new kantrio

have no choice

i want em but dont have any money left

[maiden kayak]

bro

can u like stop talking aboyt it here

u talk about the current units every single time without spoiler tag

[wind coyote]

i forget

im so sorry

[versed flame]

was kinda tempted by seeing all the overpowered clears people have done with the new units but then duo-ing CS with my faves and f2p units has reminded me that i don't need the OP pairs

why drain 36.6k on an overpowered button-press ungabunga pair when the fun is in building weird teams XD

[tough oriole]

Who needs emma when i can be silly and nuke with janine

[versed flame]

galar EBEs taught me that Allister is great for poison damage

[rare swan]

Me ignoring NCRed and meme-clearing with

[versed flame]

return to ghetsis

[ashen thunder]

Just use

[versed flame]

WAIT THAT EMOJI IS PRYCE??? i thought it was sycamore this whole time

[rare swan]

SYCAMORE?

[versed flame]

I DONT KNOW LMAO

[broken mulch]

Oh god I’m dumb, this is still freaking August

[versed flame]

his hair went white from sheer pain

[broken mulch]

Oh shoot don’t think I’ll hit pity before RoSCa disappears

[wind coyote]

life is sad

[violet nebula]

Life is also happy

[wind coyote]

not when u've lost all ur gems

the same ones u worked to get for a month and a half

[frosty junco]

Guys im poor cant afford blue after pitying leaf

[violet nebula]

You will be blessed in the next life

[wind coyote]

but then spent on an OP unit u wanted hoping he'd not take more than 15k

[frosty junco]

If only i can know if next life do exists

[wind coyote]

now no money for leaf and no money for blue

[violet nebula]

This will be diverted to salt channel

[frosty junco]

Well ive already ranted there too

[violet nebula]

This is still probably the most forgiving gacha by miles

[frosty junco]

Well is there a secret to be gem zen

[violet nebula]

You can wait for re run or get the next fave😄

No secrets, just discipline

[frosty junco]

Yep, i like Unovan and Kantonian so theres much more fave for me

[violet nebula]

Unova roster needs some touch ups for sure

So they may release pairs over time

Maybe a Ghetis alt soon

[wind coyote]

out of the johtrio i wanted ss kris and ss lyra... ss lyra still remains

but im too tired to focus on johtrio anymore

ill be able to work with johuno

[frosty junco]

Johduo

[wind coyote]

cant get lyra

no money

red took everything

[frosty junco]

That means you aint focusing for Johtrio in first place

[wind coyote]

i was

but then red came

i did not expect them to repeat him this anni... for the 3rd time

i mean look at my pfp brother im a red guy

[frosty junco]

Me too brother

[wind coyote]

the pikachu that was my old pfp was also sst red's pikachu

[frosty junco]

Is there a difference beetween them peekachus?

[wind coyote]

no but i clicked my pfp from sst's unit

[ashen thunder]

You shouldn't complain when you were rolling so many units before anni in first place

[wind coyote]

oh im not complaining i understand the implications

im lamenting

[ashen thunder]

We already were expecting shit anni the moment pre anni stuff were revealed

[fiery bluff]

U should go to the salt channel

You’d be surprised

[ashen thunder]

Why would I

[frosty junco]

Well so much ppl were hoping for atleast gem for pity

[ashen thunder]

I already know how many clowns are in there

[maiden kayak]

skill issue

blaming gem count instead of themselves

[wind coyote]

this is a gacha game so gem counts will continue to decrease right?

[ashen thunder]

We had increasing gem count till last year

[fiery bluff]

I don’t understand that. We had 3 months without a master fair before anni so there were obv gonna be 3 new master fairs I saved for 3 months had a 100k

[ashen thunder]

It got stabilized a bit this year

[fiery bluff]

It’s a f2p game for me

And I have every good unit

[frosty junco]

Hopium does that to you

[ashen thunder]

Pre anni already had less gems
So its ez to expect less gems for anni as well

[frosty junco]

[ashen thunder]

Last year anni + pre anni was close to 80k gems

[maiden kayak]

@ashen thunder based pfp btw

[ashen thunder]

This year it's barely close to 70k

[wind coyote]

barely? Brother it's barely close to 60k

[ashen thunder]

Thx

It's already crossed 60k

[wind coyote]

has it?

[ashen thunder]

Well 60k is average

[fiery bluff]

And they baited with Archie maxie and the jhoto trio

[ashen thunder]

For 2 months in past 1.5 years

[frosty junco]

Pokemas is generous on gems but generous on giving so much new unit also

[fiery bluff]

Ppls rely got baited

[ashen thunder]

A lot of people clowned galar stuff

Those are the ones complaining for most part

[wind coyote]

r u guys pulling any unit this anni?

[fiery bluff]

We had galar?

When was this

[frosty junco]

I think this is why japan player blocked datamines

[ashen thunder]

Don't ping me

Atleast turn it off

Datamines is fine

If anything it's the one helping savers to save

[wind coyote]

^

[ashen thunder]

Biggest problem is when you ignore the datamines and clown anyways

[frosty junco]

Eh, july and aug were galar va month

[fiery bluff]

Yes all 3

And regigigas

[wind coyote]

with heavy heart ive decided to skip moltres and zapdos

[ashen thunder]

Plz don't talk abt pulling.......

The channel in itself is abt saving gems

Atleast spoiler it

[maiden kayak]

u asking pulling stuff of all threads u asked here

[ashen thunder]

This is not even first time

They either talk abt their own rolls or bait others into talking abt their rolls

[wind coyote]

how do i bait them i simply ask them

[ashen thunder]

Not for this channel.....

#gacha-and-flex exists

The point itself is to make people save

[maiden kayak]

i think the warning already gave u multiple times

i dunno is it fallen to deaf ears or what

like oak says

[wind coyote]

i didnt know we're not allowed to talk abt hypothetically pulling here also i thought it was just to spoiler pulls

[maiden kayak]

“theres a time and place for everything”

spoilering it is fine

[glossy isle]

#1010275375730925638 message

[maiden kayak]

but u are literally talking about it openly

spoilering defeats the purpose when its talked about it often

[ashen thunder]

They don't even spoiler

And almost every discussion from em is just pulling

They mention save and then come with the message abt pulling the rate up unit immediately

[maiden kayak]

[ashen thunder]

I am psure they have atleast 2 new units per month

And each time they say abt the unit, it ends with imma save for another month

Don't rly think the channel is helping through the impulse rolling at this point

But atleast try to not tempt others

[wind coyote]

whatever units i pull nowadays are with a pity saved

but im not trying to tempt others

[tardy fiber]

Cannot even form a pity with a month's gems,they will run out of gems soon

[maiden kayak]

i know u do not have the intention but please read the mood and the whole point of zen channel

talking about it is like bringing a live band in a zen garden

[maiden kayak]

if u are trying to region MAX prepare to whale because its clearly unsustainable

[wind coyote]

nvm im not visiting this channel again cause it's better for everyone for me to not
i deeply apologise for any wrong behaviour
i'll make sure to keep to myself

[frosty junco]

Thats why i will need priorities on what character i like more

||I hate myself from being tempted to summon leaf that i cant afford my fav rival blue now||

[ashen thunder]

Region max is fine if it's just 1 region

2 will be hell

You can try to write down the characters you mainly want to prioritise

That'll make the target more realistic

[maiden kayak]

one region max is impossible for f2p

someone tried that with johto which was seen as easy

but end up they cant do it

[ashen thunder]

But
We barely got jhoto stuff this year before anni

[maiden kayak]

theres ||gio||

and ||TR||

which was even worse

[ashen thunder]

||Sclyra, admins and gio are only ones I remember this year||

Oh nvm I just remembered the middle part of year is just johto hell

I guess the region max is hard for F2P since there's reruns to factor ontop of new shit

[frosty junco]

I guess its possible for 1st day player but not for me

[ashen thunder]

Region max is rolling 30+ reruns

Ontop of new stuff

Impossible for f2p

[versed flame]

true ig it'd be possible if you were a saver and got things on release but definitely no longer feasible

[ashen thunder]

Tbh even smth like character max is hard

If your fav is Lillie or serena

[versed flame]

and for some character max is very easy 💀

[frosty junco]

So uber max then?

[ashen thunder]

Pryce max

[versed flame]

cheren max

[frosty junco]

I guess selects really alleviate the burden of maxing a fave but im no spender

[ashen thunder]

You can target 1/2 character max

[frosty junco]

And just nate!

[ashen thunder]

But you should be willing to stick to it till the end

[frosty junco]

Too much fave i cant even decide who

[versed flame]

tierlist helps

[ashen thunder]

I personally wouldn't mind skipping a fav character if I don't see myself using em

That doesn't mean I roll meta

Tierlist is worse

If tempts players more to go for new units

[versed flame]

even if you cant order them linearly you can get an idea of which are higher priority faves than others

[ashen thunder]

Since modern units are all OP

I personally don't recommend tierlist at all

[versed flame]

oh i meant faves tierlist

[frosty junco]

People here dont really seems to hate tierlist but also isnt really meta chasing eh

I dont see anyone complaining about tierlist placing

[ashen thunder]

Well the current TL in itself is controversial
Coz it's built around CS but CS is already doable with F2P stuff

[versed flame]

like "i would pull for this character on sight" vs "i would love to get this character if possible"

[ashen thunder]

Oh, you haven't seen strategic channel discussions then

[versed flame]

ah 😅

[frosty junco]

Oh thats where its all in

[ashen thunder]

Well just don't roll for stuff you don't like

You'll totally regret it

Even if the unit is Op

[frosty junco]

TL on competitive game were already controversial enuff

[oak crest]

Does ppl actually do that

[ashen thunder]

Coz you wouldn't use em as much

[oak crest]

[ashen thunder]

They do

That's why they don't have gems

[oak crest]

Lol I can't man

Like yellow rat

I hate em and that's why I skipped them easily last yr

[ashen thunder]

I skipped galar trio and still don't regret it

[versed flame]

^ same

[oak crest]

I still don't regret skipping rats as well

[frosty junco]

Alr ive decided ig my 2 main char is red and blue. (Dont bully me im not really a genwunners)

[oak crest]

Despite ppl saying how broken they are

It's sustainable

[ashen thunder]

Well current content don't need that power level

[oak crest]

2 faves

[frosty junco]

I like unova as a game but isnt really interested in the chars

[ashen thunder]

For me anything that outperforms DA zinnia as a dps is good

Anything that doesn't outdamage it is bad

Simple as that

[frosty junco]

I remember people saying Zinnia is stronger than anni steven lol

[oak crest]

Having few faves also open the option of going for units that might interest you once your gems start to pile up

[ashen thunder]

Well they both have same move BP

And zinnia is free

Free unit better by default

Coz you don't spend gems for it

[frosty junco]

Zinnia have more powerful sync move and Steven have more dps ig?

Because of good form

And upside down helps

[ashen thunder]

The point I was trying to make is not abt zinnia itself

The thing is

We have so many F2P and gen pool units

That vastly outclass her

[frosty junco]

Anything stronger than pryce is usable

[ashen thunder]

And she's a 220 BP 400+ atk unit

So anyone rolling for "meta" is just not looking at their roster at all

I am also a strong advocate for offtyping in general coz of it

[frosty junco]

Ive summoned for meta in past gacha game and it aint been really fun time

[ashen thunder]

Like why go for 18 ontype comps when you only need 5 teams for CS

Or 10 teams for LG

[versed flame]

ontyping with f2p is great too if you like that playstyle

[frosty junco]

Poison stall lol

[versed flame]

there's plenty of decent strikers for most types

[ashen thunder]

Ontype is nice
But what I commonly see from people is that they want zone, rebuff and a 200 BP unit for their ontype team

So rolling for that goal becomes hella expensive

It also deviates you hard from your initial goal

Coz your fav likely won't align with rolling 18 types of dpses and zones and/or rebuff for those

Which leads to people making bad decisions

[tardy fiber]

Kinda why i collect legendaries, mythicals, UBs to cover all of those needs, but i have to admit that its getting expensive...i probably will have some pairs that i might have to skip and wait for rerun in the future

[violet nebula]

Still got 2 more legendaries to go😭

Blue and Palmer just seem amazing

[tardy fiber]

Kinda sad both costs pity

I might have to skip october fave

Hope its skip month

[ashen thunder]

Well you already have gems saved up

Just hope the rest 2 don't eat up till pity

[tardy fiber]

Only left 71,270 gems

[violet nebula]

You can get these 2 easy

Only got 40k to get the final 2😅

[ashen thunder]

Not when next patch has koraidon and Miraidon PFs

[deft glen]

I'm... still deciding what I'll do this Anni

[violet nebula]

Oh silence you 🤣

[ashen thunder]

If you dunno what to do with gems

Best way is to save

[violet nebula]

There will be no Koraidon😅

Not yet..

I pray to Arceus

[ashen thunder]

Fine

Arceus PF

[violet nebula]

[ashen thunder]

Well we got hisui units 2 months ago already

Wouldn't be surprising if they release sinnoh legendaries post anni

Legendary is hardest target afterall

[violet nebula]

It won't be surprising but a break be appreciated 😅

[ashen thunder]

Wdym break

There was barely any gap between galar NCs and tapus iirc

Within 3 month span, 7 new legendaries

[violet nebula]

[broken mulch]

Anybody know if the gems bot command includes gems from the day I used it, or only from the next reset onwards?

[violet nebula]

Next reset onwards

[broken mulch]

Oh phew thanks

[halcyon dune]

Big saving accomplishment

[rare swan]

THE 6 FIGURES!

[timber wren]

[dark cliff]

I feel like this NC pairs are slightly better versions of the original trio

Leaf even has potions…

[mental skiff]

But she dont have poision

[glossy isle]

Instead of poisoning, now she burns enemies to death

[violet nebula]

She also lowers their stats faster

B move goes pew pew

[heady ice]

||Man, red and leaf both took me to pity. There's no way blue isn't going to do the same. Hurts, but at the same time, this is what I save up for each year.||

[cunning swan]

waiting for a Leaf alt that can trap to complete the DOT trinity!

[glossy isle]

She trap and squeeze ‘em to death 💀

[cunning swan]

[dark cliff]

Suicune has a DoT?
