Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[tardy fiber]

Not like PF have 5% featured rate or something

[rare swan]

🤝 😭

[lean mango]

no way me fr??

Funny how ||I've never pitied MFs but I've pitied every other banner type except spotlight||

[cunning swan]

||I hadn't pitied MFs for so long then NC Leaf broke my streak||

I know I always go into a banner with a pity ready but it still hurts

[lean mango]

😔

[vernal glade]

||My last MF pity was Anni N, then NC Leaf had to break my streak also.||

[crisp grotto]

||My last pity was Argenta, today. Save your gems ppl||

[broken mulch]

||at least you didn’t double pity in a row like I did last Annie lol||

[cunning swan]

oh I was ||SO CLOSE to pitying Red and Blue too that I just spent pities on them anyway|| 😭

[versed flame]

SC rerun even more likely to pity than MF

source: ||chasing the butler Submas||

[tardy fiber]

Not as much as seasonal rerun though, they dump every past seasonal in 1 rerun banner...xmas pairs this year easily will beat rocket admin banner rates

[latent salmon]

at least us rocket fans wont take too many Ls with them banner rates..

being beaten by seasonals was a given so not sure if that's even a W

[rare swan]

us Rocket fans have been molded for resistance against MF-level rates

1%? child's play

[latent salmon]

more like "PLEASE ON GOD WE'RE STARVING FOR ANYTHING"

because in the end pitiful rates are better than nothing amirite

[timber wren]

they are pity-full yes

[rare swan]

[latent salmon]

goddamnit i shoulda seen that coming

[clever oyster]

I still need help resisting pulling on banners until the datamine 😦

[latent salmon]

just think of the regret if you get a fave next datamine

[rare swan]

close the game and distract yourself with something fun

[latent salmon]

delete the game if you must

only do that if it's unbearable though

[unkempt vortex]

Throw your phone away

[grim plover]

i think im doing this until the special cs lol

||i had 59k and rolled in the rocket banner for the candy coin ||

[cunning swan]

i never really knew you were a rocket fan, then suddenly you surprised me by ||pulling on a variety banner with the worst rates ever||

[cunning swan]

avoid the huge banners like a plague. reach the daily scout by scrolling on the little thumbnails from the pokemon center. the longer you linger on the sync pair scout screen, the bigger the temptation gets

i've come to the point where I can subconsciously black out huge banners and forget they exist in the first place

[sand crown]

Major oof

[rare swan]

I contain multitudes

[latent salmon]

rocket fans are all secretly kalos fans. i mean, come on, we're sadistic enough to like characters with too little screen time. of course we like a region with too little screen time

[bleak falcon]

Realize that the possibility exists of an alt you want coming next month. Easy motivation to wait

[vestal leaf]

I clear CS 3-4 times a week with different teams for fun whenever I feel like playing PoMa and get the feeling that I wanna scout

I clear stages, get bored of playing Poma, don't touch til the day after

Repeat

[feral vale]

[tawny cedar]

I have somehow saved music coins for over a year or two

I'm nearing 10k with no idea if i should use or not

[cunning swan]

How can you not use them to buy the absolute bangers that is neo champion themes

Also the legendary pokemon themes

[tawny cedar]

I forgot too

I haven't bought music since johta va's first run

At 1 point I got too indecisive with buying music and decided fuck it I'm not buying

And that repeated several times

Here we are now with close to 10k music coins

[tawny cedar]

Damn

How many years

[lost bobcat]

I play with only voices so, except for some tunes I'm not unlocking anything

Not sure, at least this year

[tawny cedar]

Hmm

What if i just never buy music

No matter how good it is

Until 30k

Then buy 100 songs

Or go insane and save for 50k whatever happens first

[lost bobcat]

If you like the music why not

My reasions to keep only voices is bcs the music swaps TOOOO many times
So I keep music playing in my room instead

[tawny cedar]

Hmm

Do we only get music coins from daily

[lost bobcat]

Music coins yes iirc, but some themes can be purchased in their event shop

[tawny cedar]

Hmm

I guess ill slightly cash out and save for 15k

[sand crown]

I love music so I try to unlock as much as possible, especially trainer specific themes

Not very saving I know but at least it ain’t gems

[winged fossil]

I just grab as many song keys as I can for songs that sound decent. I’ve also exd a few pairs I’d almost never use purely for that

The main exception I make is I won’t ever pull specifically for it unless it’s just a free selector that I don’t care about the options in. That’s like the one case where the song might effect a pull, cause I’m not spending gems on a song.

Having the songs available to play helps me with any grindy modes like hs/lg since I can have something playing that can help it not feel as grindy

[fallen path]

I just save gems and candy coins, the other stuff I don’t much spending. It’s still a game after all

I spend the music coins knowing I won’t listen to 95% of them

[hard wave]

I buy them in order and I dont play w sound

Idt ill EX purely for those, still have a few others I want to EX and its like maybe 15 ish units w a song key that I have to EX

[winged fossil]

Even though og Lillie is a fav I prob wouldn’t of exd her for a long time if it wasn’t for song key

Cause I usually use her in one-sync-kill teams

So wouldn’t usually sync with her outside of lg

[tardy fiber]

I just grab the song key for legendaries and elite four cs battles...like malva theme is a banger

[lean mango]

I haven't bought anything from the song shop since Glacia's theme released there, even then I didn't buy anything before thay

mostly I just forget but couldn't have ever forgotten the pretty lady's theme

[feral vale]

How many music coins you got?

[lean mango]

Lemme check

9880

Could've been bigger if I remembered to do some of my dailies

[feral vale]

Mine’s 8400

Exactly

[vernal glade]

I try to get all the musics but every month they keep adding more.

So now I wait for musics from my fav region to be added to exchanges

[hard wave]

Ill be EXing her cynthia and lysandre (holo foil and just cuz I like to EX my limiteds) so its nice that they give a song key ig

[hard wave]

Same

Ill just keep buying the one at the top

Actually is it even possible to have them all?

[vernal glade]

That’s what I’m thinking

[worldly knot]

Guys is this group also helps for saving candy? Im torn to hold my candies lol

[feral vale]

Hmmmmm depends?

[upbeat lotus]

Yes it does, but dont ask who to candy here

We just help with saving

[feral vale]

Best advice I can give that’s suitable in this thread is to not candy halfway.

[worldly knot]

I am planning to candy regigigas to 3/5, but i feel like it would be a bit wasted

Haha im trying to find justification to not candy him and just save

[lost bobcat]

Why would you candy him in the first place?
Fav? You got other strikers?

[worldly knot]

I got other dealer, it is just that he seems pretty strong for off typing, im a sucker for off type unit

But his cruah grip is a huge let down

I mean it scales so bad in LG rip

[lost bobcat]

He's normal type, he has to look strong offtype

Any on-type will just have a fancy x2 dmg

[worldly knot]

I dont really into on type specifically, prefer those who can off type, on type is just a bonus for me

[lost bobcat]

Do you have other worthly strike units? Also how many candies?

[feral vale]

Gakon said not to ask who to candy here. Please move that to #poma-questions

[worldly knot]

Those are my striker, not planning to candy victini or garchomp, kind of okayish

[feral vale]

And remove the image.

[lost bobcat]

Oh right

[worldly knot]

Ah sorry, i wasnt planning to ask who to candy

Just want a justification not to candy palmer lol

[feral vale]

Okay, but you shouldn’t show those units, because this thread is meant to not bring people to the temptation of others’ units.

Or units that are running, for that matter.

[worldly knot]

Okay, ive deleted it

[lost bobcat]

My saving trick is to wait until I have 2 extra backup candies for anything
So i will use 2 just if i have 4 in total
Why? Bcs if the following month comes a very fav unit I'll be able to candy that

Also I never used yellow candies, huge profit since we got new roles

Hope this may help

[ashen thunder]

If you care abt gauntlet,palmer isn't the a great candy candidate

[worldly knot]

Hmm yea having 2 back up sounds like a good plan, i guess i will just stick with it until i got 4 strike candies, thanks!

[worldly knot]

Im not sure if i care but at least i want to try more than 10, so i guess palmer isnt a good candidate, thanks

[maiden kayak]

@worldly knot save your candies for future units

[summer goblet]

This shall be my new personal best for a while

||As I will be pulling for NC Blue today for my birthday||

[winged fossil]

||oh, happy (early?) bday then||

[summer goblet]

||thank you, yeah its today||

||make my birthday luck||

[vernal glade]

||Hope ya get him very early.||

[summer goblet]

||thank you||

[winged fossil]

anyway today was eventful irl... had to be put on muscle relaxers cause of a stiff neck related thing, something to do with where various muscles converge or something in the back of the head was the issue apparently.

on another note, im at like 54k prob 55-56 if i include gems i havent grabbed just yet since havent done most of BV yet and two sets of Challenge Battles

[summer goblet]

nice

[winged fossil]

feels nice that im gradually getting closer toward a 2nd pity. depending on october gem count and who gets added in october, i might even reach 2 pities by time i have a big pull target

[summer goblet]

yeah i know the feeling

reaching your gem target for the big targets

[vernal glade]

October datamine almost here, just several more days. Let’s keep saving.

[winged fossil]

im gonna have to hold at least 1 pity into every month for a few months most likely, unless a double fav month happens. cause predictability for NC Serena rerun got thrown out the window by early johtrio

[vernal glade]

I don’t have many favs left. So October completely a mystery.

[summer goblet]

i plan to skip october and november

completly

going to take some massive gem dmg

[vernal glade]

Same here

[summer goblet]

this month

[winged fossil]

H!Zoroark and H!Typhlosion are prob 2 of the main threats that i can predict in october

[vernal glade]

||I WILL pull if Hisui Zoroark in october, I must stay as ZoroarkMAX.||

[summer goblet]

i take a chill pill unless Brock somehow shows up lol

otherwise, skip till December

[winged fossil]

if its neither of them and not a N/Serena/Lillie alt, im probably safe, assuming some non-ghost fav doesnt jumpscare me randomly

[summer goblet]

also, i think i forgot how to pull a banner after 2 months

[vernal glade]

Besides I’m waiting for December.

[winged fossil]

its prob gonna be easy skip in november unless a major fav in there cause december/jan is MF timeframe and MFs tend to have higher fav chances for me

[summer goblet]

wonder what's Nov gonna be

SC units?

[winged fossil]

mf bait units

[summer goblet]

nah that will be Dec

gotta follow that schedule

[vernal glade]

||If Unova NC is in December and if October and November don’t have Lucario, Zoroark or Unova favs, I’m ready for it because I will get whoever the Unova MC are as NC. Forcing me to pull them since Rosa, Nate, Hilbert, and Hilda are part of my fav lists.||

[rare swan]

Nov should be SC yeah

[summer goblet]

good i can skip

[rare swan]

Last year it was UnoVA so we might get a rerun

Maybe Unova NCs and VA rerun

[vernal glade]

So basically Unova month

[upbeat lotus]

[summer goblet]

my current goal now is to collect NC champions

so gonna skip almost everyone not in fav range for now

at best, I dally

[vernal glade]

I’m still following my same goal as my fav list. ||Go after the Unova MC and after future N’s||

[winged fossil]

please UnoVA rerun please dont jinx it cause thats the only VA PB im mising

[worldly knot]

Noice, damn 400k, you have got a zen mind

[summer goblet]

thank you

[worldly knot]

I guess i will save hard for 2 months too, preparing for another MF, pray oct and nov no fave

[summer goblet]

good decison

[rigid oar]

Dayum how many months did it take

[summer goblet]

since my last pull, 2 months ago, but its more or less a consistent effort of 3 years of consistant saving and only pulling for MF and favs with some pokefair sprinkle on top

[rigid oar]

That’s really cool with my luck I assume it will always go to pity I just hope I can save more in October and November . || this month had lot of good banners||

[timber wren]

possibly new eevee variety units too

[tardy fiber]

Oh eevee day next month?

[timber wren]

november

[tardy fiber]

Oh, so next month is probably dry...plus VA already ended

[rare swan]

oh how wonderful

[unkempt vortex]

more bait people will fall for neat

[tardy fiber]

Playable espeon

[unkempt vortex]

nah itll be another flareon umbreon and sylveon

espeon forever in purgatory

[tardy fiber]

2 variety flareons

[rare swan]

if they drop a Serena and Sylveon variety pair i s2g

[sand crown]

Variety Eevee is Eevil

[rare swan]

i rebuke it

i'll accept a rerun of the previous banner ONLY, for those who are type-MAXing and missed them the first time around

[cunning swan]

considering the eevee variety was to celebrate Eevee day, maybe it will have a fixed rerun time

but then again ss morty was part of golden week celebration but he didn't rerun during golden week so

[rare swan]

DeNA making patterns only to break them -

[cunning swan]

dena try to be consistent challenge

[tardy fiber]

I kinda do hope variety banners rerun anytime soon,seeing a rerun will make people feel more comfortable skipping if they are currently lack of gems and had to skip variety banner that they want

[rare swan]

that's a good point, actually

we haven't had a variety unit rerun yet....

with any luck DeNA will actually be consistent and rerun the Veevees

[cunning swan]

would be funny if they took a longer time to rerun than master fairs

[ashen thunder]

Laughs in celesa

[rare swan]

[tardy fiber]

Yep ssleon is the longest now right? He doesn't even rerun in galar VA although we literally fight him

Ssleon didn't get F2P banner?

[rare swan]

lmfao damn

[ashen thunder]

Ah all selects

[rare swan]

if you want SS Leon you need That Money

[cunning swan]

what does dena have against ss leon

[rare swan]

fit too fire

[cunning swan]

but also it's been a year since his last rerun at all

...never mind

[ashen thunder]

Well they are pretty hesitant at rerunning any pokefair post train bros

Except redlax

[cunning swan]

there's just too many at this point, perhaps?

but then there's bede

and ofc red

[rare swan]

[ashen thunder]

They don't want to instantly give strong 1/5 units

Almost all PFs post sand duo are top tier

And there's a significant gap between those and stuff before em

"If you want strong unit, roll new one and dont go rerun" is what they are going for it feels

They were also pretty stingy with current selector as well
It's not even full lodge PF pool

[tardy fiber]

Plenty bede reruns probably mean lodge bede coming up soon

[ashen thunder]

And I am somehow still missing him

[vestal leaf]

You just cursed it into existence

[cunning swan]

i would say serena is much too popular to be variety but then again we had lyra

[tardy fiber]

Same, i might grab if he is one of the select when there's no other pairs that i want among the choice. Gonna do this for Main characters, rivals, champions pairs as they are more likely to be added in lodge

[vestal leaf]

Lucas reran line 3 times last year

[tardy fiber]

Oh right, gym leaders are also lodge candidates...they are already morty, raihan, elesa

Not sure if acerola counts

I need to recheck 5* gym leaders and see if there're other limited pairs among em

[cunning swan]

most gym leaders' base units are accessible so I don't think there's much need to worry about that

[ashen thunder]

A lot of base units used to be gen pool

[cunning swan]

the only gym leader whose base unit is limited is Raihan

[ashen thunder]

Only have to worry abt stuff like lucas and galar shit

[tardy fiber]

So i need to grab diantha/steven/lance/bede in the future

[ashen thunder]

Just selector

Hopefully

[tardy fiber]

Yep select only

[ashen thunder]

Next half anni time should have another one

[tardy fiber]

Banner is too expensive for a non fave, especially when i only want them for lodge

[ashen thunder]

Lodge adaman and irida

And soon leon, Archie and maxie

[tardy fiber]

Adaman and Irida i might not get them forever

Because even if MF select happens, i doubt it will be cheap

[ashen thunder]

Cope for master fair selector forever

We already have MF select

It costs from 300 gems to 36.6k gems

[tardy fiber]

Lol

[ashen thunder]

[tardy fiber]

Hope next month is a general pool or story pair lodge guest

[ashen thunder]

We just now got a gen pool lodge

Means 2 limited units

Probs bede

[tardy fiber]

Please Lucas/Alder/Victor instead

[ashen thunder]

They can also do lucas but I doubt em adding him in selector

Oh I meant the lodge pool

Current lodge limited units aren't great

Except the MFs

no raihan still suks at 1/5

[tardy fiber]

So lance/diantha then

But we just got leaf so diantha it is

[ashen thunder]

It can be bede

[tardy fiber]

Let me check what other pokemon bede uses and to see if there's anything cool

[ashen thunder]

Articuno

Oh main games

I remember his roster is mostly psychic stuff

[hard wave]

I think he uses rapidash

[tardy fiber]

Yep grapidash, gardeviir, mawile, gothita

[hard wave]

Oh yeah gardevoir too I think

[tardy fiber]

Sylveon

[ashen thunder]

Then galar ponyta probs

[hard wave]

From what I saw its quite a few psychic/fairy types so that its easier to transition

[tardy fiber]

Yep most of pokemon he has already available in game, easier for lodge

[ashen thunder]

We dont get many full Evo Pokemon from lodge

[tardy fiber]

Although a new one is kinda cool like dawn wormadam or raihan gigalith

Than dupes

[ashen thunder]

Psure they both are had models in game

Do we have galar ponyta model?

[hard wave]

I think only rapidash

Idk where to check

[ashen thunder]

I am too lazy to backsearch datamines channel

[tardy fiber]

Oh right i dont mind grapidash, after all the one we have is shiny so normal grapidash consider new

[hard wave]

We could get it, depends if they r fine w giving them a pokemon of theirs as a prev form

[ashen thunder]

Lodge for variety units

[deft glen]

Oh God

|| I'd 100% pull ||

[near oriole]

Is okay to save 3month gem then scout for MF or any better strategy suggest me.

[lost bobcat]

Sure it is

If that's your goal

I'm doing that too

[near oriole]

I need proper strategy so I don't miss out busted unit 🥲

Should I only focus on MF or ??

[lost bobcat]

The latest pattern looks like new mfairs every 3months, alternating between 2 and 3 units

[near oriole]

Okay.

[lost bobcat]

What's your goal?
Fav? Strong units?

[near oriole]

Strong unit only matter for me

[lost bobcat]

Then MF are not always stronger than pf

[near oriole]

Okay can you tell more about it.

[lost bobcat]

Newer units tend to powercreep older ones in different ways
But also require resources maybe because their power is locked behind a 3/5 grid or even more

[near oriole]

Ohk

[lost bobcat]

It's hard to say when, but it will happen, so following the powercreep or "meta" (even without pvp) isn't really sustainable in terms of gems

So if all you care is strong units, list your types and set your priorities

Tierlist and candy list may help prioritizing or comparing older units

[near oriole]

How?

[unkempt vortex]

Welcome to gacha games

Where the only job is to make you swipe

[sonic cobalt]

Praise the RNG gods on high. /s

[lost bobcat]

If you already have strong units for a certain type, you must avoid pulling more of the same
Instead, if you're still struggling with the "usually" lacking Poison Steel or whatever you can prioritize those

More a combination of role+type actually

[near oriole]

Okay Buddy I understand lit bit thanks.

[lost bobcat]

Just keep in mind that if you're looking for strenght, the latest units aren't necessarily the strongest ones

This will help you saving

[tardy fiber]

I knew a bunch of people that did that, so you are not alone i guess if you set it as goal

MF collectors, i just collect faves and ditch non fave MF

Already skipped 8 non fave MF

[vestal leaf]

I skipped all non fave MFs

Ash, aura Cynthia? I did 1 daily for the hell of it

Happily skipped

You can clear even offtype with some freebies anyway

[grim plover]

i skipped both adaman an irida and got rewarded with 3 favs this month

[lean mango]

Still at my streak of over a year of not pulling a MF , gotta have priorities straight

[heady ice]

This is what I do since the introduction of MF's. Usually, DeNA releases MF's in pairs, so I have at least 3 pities worth in my stash. Excess gems then become my non-MF pull stash (which I usually save up to 1 pity for here). Now after having 4 pities worth of gems, any excess here becomes my fun stash lol.

[mint zephyr]

What I do is save forever until ash comes

[heady ice]

Even if you already have 1 pity? or is this sarcasm I can't read b/w the lines lol

[mint zephyr]

Why would it be sarcasm

I’m not pulling until ash comes

[hard wave]

[latent salmon]

man's not gonna pull until eos

mad respect

[hard wave]

He’s not going to pull ever, when poma goes thru EoS and is no longer supported on newer devices and or is deleted from the app store he still wont pull

[mint zephyr]

Yessir 😭

[mint zephyr]

Yup😭

[upbeat lotus]

Setting up the goal to be too high is unhealthy

Because at this point Ash is nearly impossible to rerun

Just save 1 or 2 pities, no need to do that

[fallen path]

Tbh, Ash is probably the one pair I think would never rerun

[stray steeple]

The gems here are for the whole world, right? Not just Japan?

[hard wave]

Yes

But 9/29

[rigid oar]

Too strong ?

[tardy fiber]

Nah, its because he is anime collab pair

So there's some copyright stuff

[sand crown]

He, Jessie and James. I don’t think they will ever return

[tardy fiber]

Found it, from the shirt sweepstakes...cannot pick Ash, Jessie, James and MC

[sand crown]

I don't need their EX's, just give the Rocket duo their grids

[hard wave]

And rerun

[tardy fiber]

Same, i only miss Rocket duo

I wonder if i can still hopium for another rerun, and they can also release zarude and shiny celebi sync pair that are also related with the movie

[rigid oar]

This is from where

[tardy fiber]

Tshirt sweepstakes

[rigid oar]

What’s that

[tardy fiber]

Cannot choose Ash, Jessie, James, MC for the trainer design

[rigid oar]

Ohh I understand MC probably because of different combos ig but it seems ash will never come now 😢

[tardy fiber]

Well hard to come, but even the anime has already changed the protagonist so not sure what other collab that can make Ash appear again

If they do anime collab again, its probably liko and roy

[heady ice]

Because you can just reserve a stash of 1 pity for him?

[feral vale]

It’s seriously up to them. Their gems, their roster, etc.

I don’t blame them for waiting for Ash tbh, so I’m not gonna judge.

[fallen path]

i'm not gonna judge, but I've been waiting 3 years for Jessie and James. i'm done waiting for those two and just gonna enjoy the game

[upbeat lotus]

yeah you cant enjoy the game if you keep saving for something almost never happens again

[fallen path]

or more like 2 years since i came back at 2nd anni, but you get the point lol

heck i've given up on bugsy and scyther too

if they come back cool, if not its ok i'll live

[tardy fiber]

True

[hard wave]

Yeah id like to get them and bugsu but id never use them so wtvr ig

Rn im going to focus on clearing my rerun and EX list

[ashen thunder]

James and Jessie don't have grid and EX, means when if they rerun they might get good

James already solid for poison HS incase it drops

[winged fossil]

im pretty happy with how small my rerun list is right now. its small enough to not really hurt badly to skip selects, i think i wont mind a ||pity on SC Zinnie cause if i do get her early i could consider one of the others from her event if i want; that event was decently stacked for an SC, all things considered, imo. but as usual its only if i get the target unit late in those sorts of banners.||

aside from that im just waiting for NCSerena, SSN, for the most part. didnt have spare funds when SSN last ran cause Summer N shafted me as expected

anything beyond those three is just if i have spare, generally, out of my missing pairs. i dont see myself touching the summer banner for a few years now so summer gloria is select or skip for me.

cause her and hilda are the only 2 im missing from summer other than the twins i think

and glorias the only one of the bunch id care for

id like to have ||ssbrendan|| too but i dont foresee a banner where id actually pull for him, cause i dont wanna pull on a shared banner where i already have the sharee, if that makes sense, unless its 3way+

and judging by the last free rerun, that seems like probably barely ever gonna happen if they pair him with the matching legendary all the time

[stray steeple]

Do I have a chance?

[vestal leaf]

Nope

We have less than 13k before month ends I'm pretty sure

[stray steeple]

There's still the last few days of September and the first week of October

[vestal leaf]

I still wouldn't count on it

Don't spend gems til you're sure you'll be fine

[stray steeple]

There's free 3k on the 29th

[worldly knot]

Just save until last day of red first and decide later

[stray steeple]

October is usually a skip month for me

[upbeat lotus]

We dont know the October gem count yet

[tardy fiber]

And we don't even know if October will have skippable units...please no legendaries, mythicals, UBs, paradoxes DeNa

[near oriole]

Thanks That helpful.

[uneven pewter]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-krabs-money-spongebob-gif-8454828

[tardy fiber]

I can only form 2 pities so please dont do it DeNa

[hard wave]

Would u pull if we got spotlight UBs/Paradoxes?

[tardy fiber]

I will do the tier at least, the 7.5k paid

[uneven bone]

Man, I’ve only got 1,550 gems at the moment.

I know that the special champion stadium gives 500 though, and I can get at least 300 from sync pair stories

[hard wave]

700 from CS actually

[tardy fiber]

Yep 300 from champion, 100 from others

[uneven bone]

Ohhhhhh my bad!

[tardy fiber]

Well there's big gems in 2 resets

Flying gear + Bede event

[uneven bone]

Hopefully I’ll have enough to get Blue!

If we get retweet rally gems anyway

[tardy fiber]

Flying gear... annisteven stat buff and tankier skyla swanna

[hard wave]

On the 29th

[uneven bone]

Also 500 gems on poma day, which I completely forgot about

[hard wave]

I got SS Ethan this month so glad that I can get flying gear as well

[tardy fiber]

Hope datamine will be 27th or before, for sure they will do video trailer that advertise free 3k gems on 29th, 1/2 days earlier

[hard wave]

Last yr it was the 26th

Im guessing it will be 27th this yr tho, gem count ends 28th and we dont have content past the 27th (egg event)

Ig 29th could just be a dead reset tho

[tardy fiber]

Not dead because 3k gems

[hard wave]

Oh true

Either way, I hope its 27th and since we only know daily and normal login bonus after the 28th a new event prob starts the 29th

[tardy fiber]

Yep, they probably gonna do video trailer 2 days earlier

[winged fossil]

I’m pretty sure poma day totals like a thousand something between gift and the stage

[hard wave]

Yeah its 1030, 500 from the login, 500 from the battle, 30 from the co op battle

[winged fossil]

anyone know where the absol pastebin is for the event rewards? trying to find the 4 star for SC Rosa rerun and Palmer events but cant find the right pastebin to look for it

[hard wave]

Its the quest pastebin

I think both were strike tho

We got 3 of those this month but no 3* strike

Needed 1 more to max norman, besides him all other 3 stars r 5/5

[winged fossil]

bummer, was hoping for a one for my lodge N, maybe i should just use up some stones on it, but then the next would be useless

[hard wave]

Oh yeah and only 4* tech was from HS

[hard wave]

Same, he’s my only 4* tech below 3/5

I used the one from HS on him, so he’s 2/5

[winged fossil]

hes 2/5 right now for me too, i was hoping to use him in the pasio CS cause i stan N

[hard wave]

Hopefully next month is a strike or support for lodge, or we get 3 4* tech candies

[hard wave]

I still used him for it

SS Kris, Anni May, and him

[winged fossil]

my remaining lodges to max are leaf, may, rosa, sycamore, calem. out of ones that arent limiteds im missing. got any clue how many of these are tech? bit lazy rn

[hard wave]

Ok so just checked, both did give out a 4* strike

[winged fossil]

bro thats so lame im drowning in 4* strike candy already

[hard wave]

Leaf is support, calem and sycamore r strike, and may and rosa r tech

[hard wave]

Well I still need 1 more to 5/5 BP Val so would much rather get tech and support ones tho

[winged fossil]

so including those two i have 7 strike candies for 4stars, and only two 4star strikes to go i dont 5/5 units i dont use

i doubt theres 4 coins left in the month, so my next tech candy for five stars forms next month along with support. coin count being over like 10 or 11 would form a strike.

[hard wave]

I only 3/5 the techs/supports, tho all my story 4 star techs r 5/5

[winged fossil]

i 3/5 basically all my units if they arent base 5stars

[hard wave]

Too little of them, I need like 20-30 ish to 5/5 strike ones r abundant so I 5/5 them

[winged fossil]

3star units ive almost fullmaxed, aside from the event units i missed.

apparently my tech coins reach 17 tonight, hm.

pretty sure with that and poma day ill be one coin short this datamine

[vernal glade]

I only 3/5 support story. But since no faves have came, I been saving my 5* powerups this month.

[tardy fiber]

They should allow 3* candy to 4* candy conversion, not like they are continuing free 3* npc event pair anyway

[hard wave]

1 to 1 conversion

[tardy fiber]

At least i can use 4* candies for lodge pairs...but 3* candies

[crisp oracle]

the gems feel so slow ngl

||the slower it gets, the harder for me to save||

[tardy fiber]

At least you did better than me. I only have 55,490 gems

[hard wave]

What is this “gems” u speak of?

[tardy fiber]

The 7405 u have

[rigid oar]

Slowly curbing my greed ,now I am only tempted to daily when I am doing the free scout

[dawn surge]

O
I am at an eveeen “better” position with only 1k gems that was left after ||scouting for the guy in your profile||

[upbeat lotus]

Please spoiler pulling talk here

[winged fossil]

its interesting that im close to even in gems with vanter rn, i assume thats just free gems. either way, the fact that im around the same milestone is a good sign probably since my fav list is more strict at this point.

i think im at like... bit over 56000 if i get the rest of my gems together

maybe 57k

[dawn surge]

Gimme your gems

[dawn surge]

Dunno how to do so

[winged fossil]

||text||

its the shift+\ key result on most keyboards

||example||

[dawn surge]

Like this
||Palmer & Regigigas||

[winged fossil]

without space

for the lines

[dawn surge]

Like this
||Palmer & Regigigas||

Ok

[winged fossil]

yw

[dawn surge]

Good

Thanks

[tardy fiber]

Man, still 7 more support cake coins for my cake role pair...cannot wait

If they rotate every 5 roles so i can get it in 35 days

Gonna use my daily ticket i guess

[winged fossil]

youre already that close? im only at 4/20

[dawn surge]

Me too

[uncut comet]

Given that based on his faves he might have scouted for Palmer, I think he's referring to tech cake

[vernal glade]

I’m saving the coins till the time is right.

Which means I won’t be exchanging them

[latent salmon]

im gonna focus on support as much as i can, then just hoard cakes after i ||cake proton||

AH WAIT

NOT SUPPORT

tech

mb

keep confusing ex role with ex

[wind nymph]

Any other ways to get more gems (still tryna get ARed and ZBlue )

[upbeat lotus]

Just finish all content that give gems. Also talking about pulling here is not recommendeded

[wind nymph]

Okay,thanks i just fear i cant get enough gens for both Red and Blue

[upbeat lotus]

At least spoiler the talk or people here will get you

[winged fossil]

yup, did my collecting spree and once i do the two sets of stages ill be 57K+

pretty happy with my progress toward a second pity... if my maths right, two pities is a bit over 72k right? like 73.2k?

ill be exiting the month with over 60k so im basically guaranteed 2 pities next month even if its extremely dry, if that math checks out. just question of if a new fav drops or not.

[sturdy flower]

yes

remember 2-3mf around December

[deft glen]

Too slow

[tardy fiber]

||i got 4 support coins by accidentally getting Paulo while getting Tina, and the rest are from daily ticket exchange ||

I do have 12 tech cake coins too but none of the current tech cake pairs tempt me to do it, for now its only zerena as i always sync with her first when im using her to change form, might as well she got double sync buff

[winged fossil]

Ah, I haven’t used the tickets yet. Figured I’d wait until I have enough to finish a cake incase I (extremely unlikely) change my first target

[feral vale]

That’s the same thing I’m doing.

I’m waiting until I have enough for a cake before I exchange lol

[timber wren]

we should get enough to form our first cake by mid october

[sand crown]

That’s not that far off actually

[hard wave]

Coping that pulling, region rotation, and daily tickets arent going to be the only way

Rn I want to save for a strike and support cake, I have 2 units I want to get those roles

|| also waiting for one of them to rerun ||

[junior trout]

i'm hoping they'll be added to lodge like how candy coins are

[vernal glade]

Agreed.

[winged fossil]

im curious if Seasonals will have ex roles, and if so, if theyll include cake gifts for them like with the new PFs. we're gonna get a lot of info out of october imo regarding ex roles.

god, finally i got a sprig support.

[vernal glade]

I hope seasonals get roles.

[winged fossil]

i imagine its likely they will since variety got them, but its just a matter of if theyll retroactively give the whole bunch and if we get gifts. but we'll know for sure this datamine

[vernal glade]

||Imagine pulling NY Lisa and it has support role||

[vestal leaf]

i doubt role ex on old seasonal will happen soon

[timber wren]

we didn’t get rolex for old pfs rerunning this month (celesa, bede) nor for scrosa so probably just new units and MFs for now

but we should get the update next week so we’ll see

[robust plaza]

https://tenor.com/view/shiny-reflection-flexing-rolex-real-vs-fake-gif-14778806

Idk about what ex role i am aiming for

[hard wave]

Inb4 they’ll drip feed them to us like they are with regular EX and gear

Gear started 2nd anni right? 3 more to go, maybe we’ll actually finish it this yr, or by 4.5 anni

[tardy fiber]

Oh right, only zerena is the old unit that gets it this month, so another old MF might get it if there's another rerun on October's poma day

We might get some Pokefairs for early October as Fall Seasonals are for later half of October

[grim plover]

i think we're getting spotlight malva, so far the pomas MF tells the region we getting and she was teased in the VA final

[tardy fiber]

Spotlight Malva + Pokefair AZ

I will grab if its eternal floette...its mythical in my book

[deft glen]

still waiting for Malva

[languid quail]

Hopefully it's a month I can skip without feeling sad about it, because I am honestly doomed

[crisp oracle]

||if October is shippable I might go for NC Red or NC Blue||

[feral vale]

Shippable

[deft glen]

what do couples have to do with pulling?

[tardy fiber]

New ship from fall seasonals

Last time we got a proper ship are between Pallow and Victor

[grim plover]

pls az not so soon

[crisp oracle]

SKIPPABLE LMAO

[crisp oracle]

||Me and female pairs I scout for do not get along||

[feral vale]

I’m hoping for Oct skip month tbh

[mighty scroll]

To me, if it's not master fair = skip. Dena if you are reading this, drop another Mf on next month 😜

[hard wave]

I need to recover || hopefully there’s enough for me to pity zerena if needed ||

[tardy fiber]

Unova NC or MF after this, there's only 1 Unova MF currently...time to release more

[hard wave]

I expect alola/unova MFs

[uneven bone]

||I’m a bad boy. I totally just spent nearly 40 AUD on the big streak bundle. But hey, at least I got Blue finally.||

[upbeat lotus]

please spoiler pulling talk here

[uneven bone]

Whoops, my bad!

[deft glen]

Me too!!!

I barely have gems

No Serena alt, no Korrina alt, no Marnie alt

And I'm fine

[feral vale]

8k over here

[hard wave]

Same but I can get 510 more from bede stuff

Got unlucky and only reached pool 4, so I still have to unlock the last story part

|| r u still going for zerena? ||

[feral vale]

Yep.

Gonna save a pity for her for sure, ||but I’ll also daily paid gems to shave off how much non paid I’ll use.||

[hard wave]

Gl

[feral vale]

[hard wave]

I hope datamine has a good amount of gems, w the rally and gems up to the 28th I can reach 14,060

[feral vale]

I don’t think that in particular needs to be spoiled lol

Gem counts are fine to tell~

[hard wave]

Sometimes I just get used to spoilering things

[vernal glade]

I might make it to either 151k or 152k on the 29th since the 3k gems will bring me up to either those two.

[rigid oar]

Which does N mean

[feral vale]

Pardon?

[rigid oar]

means meant for their name Saving for Next N

[feral vale]

You know who N is, right?

[rigid oar]

Oh dat N

I thought some banner lol

[vernal glade]

Ya

[sturdy flower]

i feel like next datamine will be important as to what we should expect going forward

[rare swan]

I'm mainly curious as to if they'll continue with just the coin bonuses in banner pulls (ala Paulo)

or if each month's premium units will have a paid scout similar to that 36.6k paid gem one the anni MFs have

[timber wren]

zerena gets one too right?

[rustic heron]

yeah she does

iirc

[rare swan]

maybe it'll be a Master Fair only thing

perhaps seasonals will get something unique/different ( )

[timber wren]

monkeys paw curls

[feral vale]

MF’s get the full paid banner for sure

The cake coin gifts, yeah that’ll be an interesting thing to observe.

[hard wave]

Coping it’ll just be a gift for the first 3-5 multis

[tardy fiber]

Still waiting to see monthly move coin allocation that has good amount for sprint and field, once they did that... probably not gonna get easily tempted to pull for dupes for those 2 roles

[tardy fiber]

Old seasonal pairs could really use the help, either 5/5 grids/power boost/cake roles...just give em something

[rare swan]

man fr though. i look sadly at Winter Siebold

come on man some of these pairs are from 2019 HELP THEM

[tardy fiber]

At worst the 5/5 grids treatment although its a big investment to 5/5 a pair, at least we can still get the easier to access new 2/5 grids...most of 2/5 grids are not so bad , well better than other grids for the pair before the 5/5 grids upgrade

Maybe even burn synergy 2 for 2/5 hsiebold grid already give nice boost to his damage

[rare swan]

mhmm

i really hope they start looking at the older seasonals at the very least

[tardy fiber]

True, like summer lyra and holiday erika

Palerena is still good i think, she managed to catch up

[rare swan]

both 2022 Pals Pairs are still very good, yeah

[sand crown]

If they want to give 3/5 seasonal expansions like the ones they give on PoMa day sure. Not candying any of them to 5

[uneven pewter]

they want 3/5 though so they are not cheap investments

[uneven pewter]

I still want Guzma to get some damn love

or Lusamine T_T

[stray steeple]

6 days until our 3k gems

[unique ivy]

Wait what?

[feral vale]

#game-announcements message

[lunar topaz]

If I am on 339/400 on a banner and the units banner ends on the 28th I wont be able to pit the right>

[timber wren]

no

[lunar topaz]

So sad it looks like I would be exactly one multi off thats so unfortunate

[winged fossil]

finally got the 3 passive supports done from the current egg

[mint zephyr]

What does this even mean, I thought this was the resource saving support not the judgmental guy corner

[crisp oracle]

Not judging you for saving for ash, but after you get that one pity for him can’t you just pull on pities after that

Like get two then start pulling for other pairs

You aren’t going to get much enjoyment from this game if you hinge your enjoyment off a pair who is unlikely to rerun

[crisp oracle]

I think that’s what they were saying

[mint zephyr]

I understand that no one else was judging but his message just seemed pretty passive aggressive

[slate ether]

Finally starting to get some gems in storage ||after the 45k+ gems worth of pulls that was the NC trio||

[unique ivy]

I don’t see anything

[lunar topaz]

Why did that have to coke as elesa leaves

[uneven pewter]

Sorry mate…that’s rough but this is why we always say if you can’t commit don’t pull =\

[lunar topaz]

Well I was able to get my desired ||3 copies but was hoping to spark for 4 and then candy them|| unit I was hoping to get a dupe for them I usually never pull without pity unless it’s for a super fav which it was in pursuit of but due to the lower gem counts I haven’t been able to stay to my save one pity to spare

[uneven pewter]

@lunar topaz || can’t really comment on pulling for dupes. I am usually a pull one and done candy later sorts. The cost is generally too heavy to chase for dupes without exorbitant amounts of luck. I am glad you got your 3 but i. The future dupes are rarely worth chasing unless the unit is like a super fave. Even then though gems are a rough commodity to replenish where as candies are all a patience game. Those are my thoughts though.||

[sand crown]

||Case by case situation for me. Like if that first copy comes close to pity, I’ll usually go for that dupe and anything else that might want to pop in in last couple multis or so||

[pure arrow]

||The only time I ever pull for dupes is with an omega-fave, or if both of the below criteria are met:

1. Within 10K gems of pity
2. I can still have at least 15K gems left over from datamine after pulling to pity so that a new pity can form by next month)||

[unique ivy]

Oh thanks

[lunar topaz]

||the only reason I’m pulling for dupes now is cause I was super lucky and I am only missing 1 super fav that being aniSkyla so I just went all out on elesa cause I don’t expect her I’m basically finished my favs so far so that’s why I’m pulling for dupes||

[winged fossil]

||calling it now, new fav for you next month and you gonna be broke||

[vernal glade]

||Hopefully next month isn’t Zoroark or N, I don’t want to pull next month.||

[winged fossil]

Same. Kinda leaning towards saving for nov or wintertime rn

If I can manage to save to next set of mfs I’ll be in a really good shape

But if November is sc or something I might have to cross my fingers that it isn’t some fav jumpscare

Iirc November has been a costume month before

[upbeat lotus]

yes PokeWar set was released in November 2021

[vernal glade]

Ya I’m crossing my fingers also for November to be a skip also

[winged fossil]

I usually pray for month before mf to be a skip month which isn’t always easy haha…

[lunar topaz]

I’m going to skip any fav that happens next month lel

[warm scarab]

so another big 3 will come next March right? like the half year anni.

and thats when you need 100k

[unkempt vortex]

Why

[tardy fiber]

Kalos NC released on late November to December so need to watch out for that too

[unkempt vortex]

Just sack

[warm scarab]

I guess what Im trying to guestimate is how many units I could pull

till the next 3 broken units come

after playing 3 months, I think Im a meta guy more than fav lol

[rigid oar]

is broken units yearly?

[pure arrow]

Much more frequent. In 2023 so far we’ve had the Galar NCs (March), SS Acerola (May), Adaman and Irida (June), and the ||Kanto NCs (August)||

Even most of the units that I didn’t mention can still trivialize content like CSMM - the point is, in this era of PoMa, most new units are going to end up really powerful (how would they sell otherwise?)

So constantly chasing the top pairs is going to be hell for your gem balance

[unkempt vortex]

Wow it’s almost like this is a gacha game and powercreep is real

[winged fossil]

It’s almost like it is hard to sell non favs to veterans that don’t power creep the favs in a gacha

[vestal leaf]

Powercreep has been way more spiked since start of summer 2022

With hoenn VA

[tardy fiber]

I will be more tempted to get meta non fave pairs if we got pvp, thank god we didn't have it

[vestal leaf]

||I pull a non fave per year and it's always on anniversary, but it's often because kits are funny rather than straight up broken||

[broken mulch]

Dunno if I want another a October month or if I want a favorite to show up haha

[tardy fiber]

I gonna claim rosa dupe and MC outfit first next reset to avoid forgetting about it

[tough oriole]

Execute order 66

[fallen path]

Exeggcute* order 66 was right there

[vernal glade]

Oh wait gotta restart discord to see

Oh

[winged fossil]

oh cool, sprint/field candy coins are in the pomas day stage

[winged fossil]

3rd candy formed today. still got 10 cake coins to go for my first cake.

[vernal glade]

Once do get enough im just saving the cakes still.

[broken mulch]

3 yellow candies and no idea what to use them on lol

[tardy fiber]

Future field and sprint faves ||well but i just use mine on whichever role i lack the most between my tech/support/strike candy demand||

[clever mist]

How many gems is there left before the kanto trio goes?

[winged fossil]

we don't really know exactly how much until datamine happens, cause they stay past datamine

as you see in the pins we literally are below a thousand left till 28th, and thats excluding the rally we're getting (which iirc is like +3k?) - we dont really know much beyond that till the datamine comes later this week (within next couple days hopefully)

[winged fossil]

Getting close to my second pity meanwhile. Pretty excited to reach it for once. I think this is the highest I’ve gone so far without finding myself staring down a fav banner.

(I’ve still got like a couple hundred to grab out of current sources I think.)

[broken mulch]

Oh sweet I’m finally back to pity. Time to continue saving

[dense belfry]

so i find myself lacking in being able to pull ||anni pairs,|| i always end up having atleast 1 and that is simply because there are too many pairs which i like that come up at the moment, what should i do to atleast 1/5 every ||anni pair|| that comes up

another reason is i just got ||leaf and moltres|| through pity and now i also want ||serena and zygarde||

[upbeat lotus]

Please spoiler pulling tag here

[dense belfry]

oh whoops

its my first time being in this section so

[lost bobcat]

Already suffered 2 pity, are you ready for another one?

[dense belfry]

im literally pulling continuously this month so mentally yes i am, however my gems aren't ready at all

[rare swan]

the main thing to do would be to plan your saving around anni pair times (march and september)

so you'd want to ensure you had at least two - probably three - pities minimum before each anniversariy

[dense belfry]

one pity was 37k gems right?

[rare swan]

in this instance, however, you'll have to decide ||how much you want Serena||

+pity

[jade lava]

Pulls to reach 400+/400 scout points:
12 multis + 4 paid singles (36.4k)
12 multis + 2 singles (36.4k (paid single + nonpaid single) to 36.6k gems (nonpaid singles))
13 multis (39k gems)
134 singles (40k (including daily paid single) or 40.2k gems (nonpaid single))

You can calculate how many gems you need until pity using /pity in #bot-zone.

[dense belfry]

o

[lost bobcat]

Then avoid pulling until you reach a pity worth amount, no "yolos or maybe"
You saw how cruel MF banners are

[dense belfry]

we'll ive been waiting for the rerun for quite a long time, just the timing of it couldve been better

[rare swan]

if that's the case, you will need to choose

how many gems do you have at the moment?

[dense belfry]

like 300

i mean i could wait until the next datamine to see how many gems i could get

[lost bobcat]

Big oof, even if it lasts one month I doubt we'll have enough

[rare swan]

you should definitely wait to see how many gems the next datamine brings

we're expecting it in the next couple of days

[dense belfry]

👍👍

[ashen thunder]

Koga ex and poison weak CS to test tdy

Budget poison finally saved

[vestal leaf]

Indeed

Proud #KogaEX supporter

[broken mulch]

Oh I forgot Koga got ex

[junior trout]

koga ex
roxie ex

[lean mango]

why not both

:insert image of both I might do later:

[unkempt vortex]

Roxie gaming

[feral vale]

The fact that both Koga and Roxie have EX really helps their cases for Poison

[unkempt vortex]

now where’s Lucy ex

[lean mango]

Realll!!!

Also Janine

[vestal leaf]

BP ex janine works fine wdym

[sturdy flower]

i can't believe one day I might be able to access the mythical 3/5 Cheren grid...

[tough oriole]

Um akshully, Stoutland isn’t a Mythical Pokémon

[sturdy flower]

might as well be with that amazing moveset and grid!

[lean mango]

I wanr base Janine EX also

[stark night]

based

[lean mango]

It's just her and Lucy for all of my Poison units to be EXed

[feral vale]

We do need Lucy EX tbh

[tardy fiber]

Oak EX when? We need to sync to unlock other 3 attack moves so might as well give Tech EX sync on top

[sturdy flower]

Predicted datamine day wednesday and friday new event?

[tardy fiber]

Probably, we gonna get 3k gems rally reward on Friday reset. So DeNa probably dont want to miss on releasing a new video trailer that has login and get 3k gems before Friday

That also has event teaser

[winged fossil]

ing for datamine tonight but it could be some other night. I just want the info to come so I can see what’s for Halloween…

[tardy fiber]

Yep it could also be on 27th if rally gems and new event on 29th...but the earlier the better

[crisp oracle]

Back to 100K, prob going to skip this month

||might go for NC Blue but likely leaning no, hoping to go after SC Diantha or NC Bede||

So yeah I'll need help staying away from Blue

[tardy fiber]

Just embrace lodge Blue, he is a good kanto support

[crisp oracle]

I was wanting NC Red but I have Irida and Ghetsis core

[tardy fiber]

Hope datamine has nice gems

[crisp oracle]

I need 30K next month

[unkempt vortex]

Look it’s 25k no more

It’ll be the new standard

[fallen path]

25k? Optimistic are we

[unkempt vortex]

You’re right

20k

[tardy fiber]

2/3 pity amount at least please

[unkempt vortex]

How about 1/3

[tardy fiber]

[pure arrow]

12K would be the lowest gem count ever I think

[unkempt vortex]

12k gem gaming

[tardy fiber]

Man if there's at least 2/3 pity, i will at least be comfortable if next month have 1/2 faves

I guess if the worst thing happen, i can skip seasonal

And get on seasonal select or guaranteed tiered on rerun

[sand crown]

Fully expect 25K or less, I would not be surprised at 20

[feral vale]

Cool outfit

[sturdy hatch]

Last chance to stock up on Galar eggs

[feral vale]

Still no three passive support duck or cat

[hard wave]

No shiny supp sprig pr any shiny fuecoco

My incubators r full and so is my box

[winged fossil]

I lost my chance when I accidentally put in 12hr eggs when 11hr to go lol

Had two empty slots so I shoulda put lower tier eggs in but eh too late now

[hard wave]

We get another egg event the reset after this atleast

[winged fossil]

The only three passives other than a supp sprig and supp shiny quax. My supp Fuecoco forever 2passive if none of these six eggs are it

My only striker quax is a 1 passive lol

[tardy fiber]

I have 0 shiny but i do have 3 passive support quaxly and fuecoco

[versed flame]

i didn't get any shinies either but i finally got 3 passive supp sprigatito one egg before reset !

so I've got the full set

[winged fossil]

60,250 free gems now, with a hundred or so locked in sync pair stories and like a couple hundred(?) in the bottle stages

[sturdy flower]

so uhh

they kinda revealed next month's unit

[deft glen]

Just the pokemon.. kinda?

[sturdy flower]

but also Hisui

[vestal leaf]

I don't think this is the best place to talk FOMO reveals

[sturdy flower]

datamine tomorrow

[tardy fiber]

Woohoo datamine

I need to remind myself not to do content that drop eggs before next reset

I don't want general pool eggs to flood before normal event egg

[lost bobcat]

Even more now, that daily training mission can be skipped

I left the box empty 2 days before just in case

[sand crown]

Are there any new shinies in the new egg event

[tardy fiber]

Not really, but i still missing shiny kangaskhan and shiny tauros

||shiny striker Kangaskhan mega kick gaming seems like fun to pair with Palmer||

All of them have shinies iirc

[oak crest]

o its old egg pairs

i probably just gonna hatch 15 eggs and dip

[sand crown]

Sounds like a plan lol

I got all those, so it’s a snooze fest

[hard wave]

There’s 68 eggmons right? I think im only missing cloyster

[crisp oracle]

I see what you did there

[rigid oar]

sprint cap stages those ?

[winged fossil]

Yeah

[summer goblet]

after getting my favs for this month, I'm going to go on another 2 month skip fest till Dec. Let's see if I can push my gems to 400k by the end of 2023

[junior fiber]

Careful, DeNa may take that as a challenge and release all of your faves for the next couple of months.

[tardy fiber]

I hope October is a skip month, need to be careful on November/December...iirc kalos NC released that time

[junior fiber]

The pair(s) will likely be back in a paid select at some point, so you can decide whether or not you still want them by then.

[unkempt vortex]

paid mf nice joke

[junior fiber]

I'm talking in general lol

[tardy fiber]

No i dont want em frogs

But unova or alola nc might happen

That might have faves

[unkempt vortex]

watch theyll do every other region before those two

[tardy fiber]

Sinnoh nc with remaining lake legendaries...too many psychic

Oh there's arceus, heatran as well

[fallen path]

I think you want a skip month at all cost

[unkempt vortex]

watch them not do legends for once

[fallen path]

Or maybe even 2 straight skip months

[tardy fiber]

I got 60k gems currently

[unkempt vortex]

legends are boring

[crisp oracle]

I need more skip months

[fallen path]

I have 53k, we’ll see how many gems we get in October

[unkempt vortex]

its gonna be nothing

and me poor

[tardy fiber]

Well at least the hisuian pokemons they teased are not faves

Now just gonna hope that other unrevealed units are the same

[unkempt vortex]

join the poor gang

[sand crown]

Nothing is ever “safe” but yeah that seems likely

[feral vale]

I don’t recommend showing the banner, please remove the image.

[tardy fiber]

Well the twitter rally is already 3k, so only 15k left

[feral vale]

Also because it’s so close to datamine, it’s a time I highly recommend not pulling without said pity. Keep your gems and do not spend any more until you have the amount needed. I’m also expecting DeNA to be more stingy.

[tardy fiber]

I hope we get those gems, kinda sus that they only advertise it on JP page

[unkempt vortex]

Because they hate global

[sand crown]

They have to. I would not want to see the meltdown that would occur on their pages if they don’t

[tardy fiber]

Maybe i should change my in game language to japanese before 29th

[upbeat lotus]

Hopefully October is a skip month

[tardy fiber]

Same

[sand crown]

It being Hisui is a good start. It’s the other stuff that scares me

[rancid wraith]

Why? Is it banned or something to show it here? I believe it's the first time I show any banner image on RSS so I dunno

[feral vale]

Read the rules of the channel.

[tardy fiber]

Well posting spending behaviour in a saving thread

Better to ask at #poma-questions

[feral vale]

The point is to not tempt others.

Any way that does is not allowed.

#1010275375730925638 message @rancid wraith

[tardy fiber]

Yep before this there's like average of 4 limiteds per month...but DeNa already rev the amount up recently so i cannot be too happy when i see a trailer with non faves teaser, there might even be 2 or more not yet revealed pairs this month

[rancid wraith]

I didn't knew. My bad, wasn't my intention

[junior fiber]

To be fair, this month is anniversary and they cranked the number of pairs up to 11. Hopefully it will go back down to a more reasonable number until the next one.

[feral vale]

Now please delete your image

[tardy fiber]

Variety pairs existence mess up the monthly limited average pairs

[sand crown]

I don’t acknowledge variety pairs. If I survived the Rockets, who I love, they won’t be a problem for me to skip over

[tardy fiber]

We cannot escape rockets, we all have at least one

Now my account being tainted

I finally have a variety

[sand crown]

Poor Ariana. I would love to get her to 3 for the nuke but candies are scarce

[rancid wraith]

Done.

Btw, I saw people claiming about the 29th's gems. Are these confirmed as Japan only or are we in some kind of weird gray area?

[tardy fiber]

Yep just save candies for faves

[feral vale]

It was a Japan rally, but everyone gets the gems.

[rancid wraith]

I wonder if that's any related to our first rally's fail some time ago.

I know Japan also failed but I believe they got a higher RT number like usual

[crisp oracle]

It might be but DeNa is mysterious

DeNa doesn't tell us too much

[tardy fiber]

Well free gems benefited by all, im not surprised if even JP players didn't retweet on the past event that give champion spirits thus making it failed

[sand crown]

If there are gems involved, any rally will hit its mark

[hard wave]

I hope the rally gems dont decrease the oct gem count

[tardy fiber]

Please 24k gems at least (already include the rally gems)

2/3 pity per month is still nice for me

[sand crown]

I somehow escaped this crazy month with a pity, so 24-26k is fine

More the merrier though

[rancid wraith]

I'm expecting we will see Guzzlord this month. Which I sadly will have to pass to save for Zerena since I would bet in 23-24k gems (but wouldn't be surprised by DeNA being more stingy than that).

[junior fiber]

Only one way to find out I suppose.

[hard wave]

I should be at 12,070 w the rally so I think so id like 25k || or some luck ||

Cant wait for tlim to say he was laughing at the gem count for the 3rd time in a row

[sand crown]

If it’s crying…well…

[hard wave]

Crying from laughter

[deft glen]

me too

[crisp oracle]

Who are you going after

[cunning swan]

I only just got back to 100k, game PLEASE

If Rei comes.......

[crisp oracle]

Did Kantrio 2.0 treat you nicely

Or no 😭

[fallen path]

[vernal glade]

I need a skip month next month

Must reach my goal to 200k

[crisp oracle]

Trailer out

Remember to wait a few days to decide if you want to pull. Datamine rush is real

[upbeat lotus]

Please dont discuss about pulling new pairs too guys

[vernal glade]

Gotcha.

[hard wave]

No gems

[rare swan]

guess we'll have to see what the gem count brings....

although we are getting 3k soon, at least

[vernal glade]

I’ll skip next month, even tho datamine haven’t arrived. I already made my decision.

[ashen thunder]

I am just hoping gem count is atleast 25k

[broken mulch]

Stay strong y’all datamine ain’t even here yet haha

[crisp oracle]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/651487042886172682/1156427682578436146/IMG_4125.png?ex=6514eeb4&is=65139d34&hm=e3fb62fec1b301b585633a0620adf164534a778e89e9e3d550234a36aa1bed4f&

Are they kidding

[broken mulch]

Nope LMAO

They know we want cake tho

[crisp oracle]

Alright cake coins ain't a bad deal

[hard wave]

How am I supposed to use cake on the units I dont have gems for

[vernal glade]

I mean, I’ll take the tickets and coins.

[crisp oracle]

But we want gems

[fallen path]

is this company allergic to gems

[hard wave]

Atleast its better than the galar ones but thats a rlly low bar

[fallen path]

will it kill them to have gems as part of the rally lol

[crisp oracle]

If they killed Blissful Bonanza for good

I'll be one very very very peeved Oleana

[fallen path]

wait for the gem count y'all

it's gonna be mad

bad*

and we might be mad too lol

[hard wave]

x10

[crisp oracle]

If they keep doing this shit I'm pretty much only going to be stuck to pulling Diantha

||Which is fine but I do want other pairs||

[ashen thunder]

Rallies used to give candy coins
Now they give cake coins

[terse quiver]

Blissful bonanza dont go 😭

[ashen thunder]

Rip candy influx

[terse quiver]

NAAH

[upbeat lotus]

The Chansey got the revenge

[fallen path]

rallies used to give full candies

[ashen thunder]

It's been 2 years

[fallen path]

2 years ago - full candies

today - candy coin

2 years from now - ???

[ashen thunder]

Candy coins already downgraded to cake coins

[vernal glade]

I really liked the Archie and Maxie community event. That one was literally the best rewards they gave.

[ashen thunder]

I'd rather have 1 candy coin over 1 cake coin

Cake coins are easier to get than dupe units

[tardy fiber]

Wow i guess now im guaranteed to form roll cake next month

[lost bobcat]

Imagine introducing candy coin tickets

[ashen thunder]

If Dena hired you, you are employee of the month

[crisp oracle]

Beauty got tired of getting nuked

[crisp oracle]

One 4* power up

[upbeat lotus]

Imagine introducing vounchers to exchange for candy coin tickets

[fallen path]

read that in the guy's voice in GTA V lol

i do find it funny the champion spirit in the 15k retweets section lol

[crisp oracle]

The sad thing is that one week of like 7.5K CSMM gets you all the rewards for the rally

[tardy fiber]

Well 30 days can give at least 6 of each cake coins, and the rally gives 1 of each so 7 coins...i can form a tech and support

[fallen path]

wouldn't mind the community not making the minimum RTs again

the last couple rallies are terrible

[tardy fiber]

I will do the retweet event, well i could use the cake coins...i will skip it if its champion spirits only like before

[fallen path]

oh we'll make it

i just don't like the bar getting lower

[sweet tide]

am currently injured so gem calc/breakdown will be late!

[crisp oracle]

Get well soon!

[ashen thunder]

take care tlim , don't have to hurry on it

[hard wave]

Oof srry to hear get well soon

[rare swan]

all good Tlim, hope you heal quickly!

[vernal glade]

Have a nice recovery

[tardy fiber]

Take care Tlim get well soon

I forgot theme skill orbs area also drop eggs...now i have some general pool eggs

[tardy fiber]

Hope there's some improvement, with this rate, we need 20 months to form 1 candy

[round mason]

[grand bramble]

I swear again

[fallen path]
