#Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

Ah
But random in a small pool is also nice
Prob will be done this in next day or two.
got a level up on my pr today so got an extra like ten clears today
Next time we get a survey I’m definitely shouting out how terrible these things are
If I remember to
I had to pity bronze tickets 
As last items, Dena is trolling me #salt-channel message
Dena aren't even worth a survey, no one asked for variety fairs or to strip bonanza
That's...kinda the best time to voice out that feedback 
i kinda use that as a wishlist for the trainers i hope to get added that's all
altho i did say their recent rallies are rather shit
That is what Dena does with feedback🤣
I wish they give us more chance for true feedback
The fact they're kinda ignoring issues is no good
Rei is still heavily bugged right?
I mean that's blatantly untrue, they've added a good number of QoL improvements over the years that were requested by the userbase
I love a good "goddammit DeNA" moment but we ain't dealing with Niantic here
TiMi
We waited 5 1/2 years for a ready-up button for raids
something as simple as a ready-up button
Sure but at which rate is also important
at least y'all got some
I mean listening to the horror stories of Year 1 PoMa
It seems like DeNA does listen
When you play Pokemon GO as your main mobile game, DeNa seems really kind and giving by comparison
I play Pokemon Showdown and chess mainly
i mean, what game gives you a free rayquaza by just scrolling through story
Which has the benefit of not being P2W at all
But has the drawback of making you tilt very very hard
Showdown's community is also a lot more "toxic" and angry than here
Oh and add Osu to that list of "not being P2W but making you tilt"
~~Chinese knock off games give it for free in login bonus
~~
Most communities are
Like this one time I asked the Gotham Chess server if I should learn the Accelerated Dragon
They called me a "600 Elo noob"
Which I am, but man
Yeah I mean people need to consider DeNa readies most of the content in advance of months and months
And probably needs months to accurately check summaries of the different forms of feedbacks
Ye that's a big W
Didn't see that coming
oh dear
(Side note I thought :sophokek: was a Buizel emote)
Idk how Nintendo/TPC is going to sue unoffocial tournaments of kids but not those predatory ads
I'm sure they take legal action against them, but they just disappear into the ether while 10 more clones pop up
It's wack a mole
Oof
and it cant even be used by yourself

I think I'm doing well, right?
Yesn’t
!!!
Trigger warning ||you guys think its more worth it to do a single pull on the mix banner everyday or wait 5 to 5 days to do a multi 5 pull?||
That's a better question for #poma-questions , but they seem to be functionally identical choices
||I caved a multi but atleast I got fav related results out of it, I guess.||
||After the anniversary back when the NC Kantrio anniversary happened, I been beginning to struggle saving due to favs keep popping up, hopefully I fight back from pulling.||
Atleast my results make the banner nonexistent to me now
||I ain’t going out of my way for hilda.||
Check the pins
i want the roxiecrity🙏
Oh god
I'm afraid you likely will not be getting her
Guys...
The Fire Type Masters event is being mean to me and I can practically HEAR SS Hilda calling for me in the Sync Pair Scout. 
Talk me out of it...
don't pull a pair you're not that interested in just for an event
if you pull her you have to 20/20 Acerola
I've been saving for quite a while and I don't wanna backtrack again.
I have no Fire limiteds and will not be doing well in this event
still not gunna pull a limited for it
Nah I'm good 💀
That's a waste of perfectly good power-ups.
I did a YOLO multi on that banner a couple weeks ago and didn't get anything I wanted...
then take that as a lesson
3000 gems (minimum!) is a lot to waste
especially for an event that doesn't even give you any
YOLO’d on the ||Roxie banner||. No luck. But thankfully I still have 2.2K free gems left
Probably gonna save for Penny
Spoiler pull mentions please
Just to be real, you can't reach pity in time
Yeah probably. Lmao
Fixed
Rewards won't even compensate a single multi's worth
Yeah...
I'd much rather save for next month's Master Fair.
December is usually a stacked month (seasonals and potential MFs), definitely save for it
very happy ill be able to ||pity cserena|| rahhhhhh
okay to be fair we do get 500 gems from it, but just for clearing the stage at any difficulty
but the point stands that its silly to spend gems for units on an event that has minimal rewards
Does December usually have a decent gem count
I need 20k gems next month to guarantee pity
It's easy to say we'll stay above 20k
Ok I'll definitely get a pity next month then
Just need Roxie to leave
And I'm safe
You can’t say that it’s gonna stay that way
I said it's easy, never said guaranteed
Nothing stopping them from dropping it
absolutely but dropping below 20k is simply a very terrible decision and i trust the devs have at least enough common sense
They seem to be losing their senses lately😅
I'm really scared of December and new years
Both seem like ideal opportunities to drop in sc event and/or masterfairs
I'm suspecting they'll drop double johto for ny
sc events don't usually drop in december because there's already christmas seasonal
but master fairs, oh yeah very likely
They can do anything, even 0 gem month but that's not a great idea
December is a good month to gather new players and returning ones, time to please the players
Aside from bede noone here has likely chance to rerun right
Imo has to do with gatchas in general, they're all declining and if can't find a new balance they'll close
Covid days are over, plus there's crisis around
Avatar Generations started this year, was a nice game but it will shut down the December 1st
Not even a year
i wouldnt be surprised to see super scouts for SC and or variety for NY
Is super paid or free
Oof
Well I'd actually be happy if only one of them reran
Id only need jasmine from super sc
i have a feeling 180k isnt gonna be possible for the zenners that have no fire limiteds at all
considering im over here struggling even with anni N in my back pocket
Spending potentially over 3K gems for 100 gem payout (each HS stage gives 100 gems and you can only use each pair once) is an incredibly bad payout, worse than pulling a pair for an extreme battle.
The fire options are uh they sure do exist
Having to use Blaine just for multiplier 
The stages also just feel harder than before but it could be me
~~ having to use ETHAN
~~
The biggest thing is the rules just not being in your favor at all
Like almost no fire unit decreases stats
like seriously how was ethan my optimal play there, i have zero clue why but i think id fail that clear with my other leftover options there
Can’t wait for fairy and ground which are mostly limited 
none of which I have for fairy
i have three fairy limiteds. one was a mistake. one was coincidental. and the last was a fav.

oh, wait
i have four
for a second i forgot burghepi was a limited ngl
Me who can name two
And has both cause they’re up in the mega favs
i forget does bluek9 have any debuffs related to his swift
oh yeah he does... but its 30%
That’s so
He also debuffs it by one on base
I knew this HS would suck, and here we are 
Watch them do psychic next
Relying on Psychic OAR 
Fighting and bug are going to be very funny

me trying to manifest bike duo next month, but moreso expecting volo+OGira and somebody+arceus:

i think rock-type HS is gonna be painful for f2p when it comes. same with dragon-type.
and it feels weird to be saying dragon type being a problem for f2p, but drake being the only f2p dragon
iirc... i am going to be scared if we get that anytime soon
I have 3/5 SS Morty and 2/5 SS Hilda and I barely got 180k
my tickets r messed up rn (13
) and I wanted to go for 190k to fix it but uh 
Also I think besides grass all the types will be painful
like psychic has pretty bad supports
Let’s just hope they don’t give bad rules for points for the other types
Woo
jumping in to say that you can get the gem rewards without even using fire units or increasing the strength, it's just for stage completion
which i should've done in water hse whoops
Just like anabel fight later that favors the nc frogs, nah DeNa, i aint spending 72k gems to get 300 gems 
Also its permanent, just gonna wait for future manaphy, phione, walking wake to carry me 
Primal kyogre 
Hmm u could use dgloria archie and kriss maybe?
Hope so, i will try to use that...hope only def and speed debuffs can bypass fluid fortification
I love my ww3 archie
plus its permanent game mode
I can even ask my grandson to clear it
Luckily I did get both frogs
tho ill be using ss kris eusine and cserena
Got max reward?
It was torture. Yet also pure bliss getting an excuse to abuse ss Serena
really felt nice to get proper use out of the cakerole in order to squeak out the extra strength when i realized it was 2/3 stage being Ground weak
any excuse to use a mega fav is a great excuse 
Plus it has evasion buff and post sync she has piercing gaze
Cannot wait for eeveelutions eggmon, doing this hse event made me appreciate weather, terrain, zone setter 
And DeNa will give 8 of em
Ooops 9 free as we will get 1 of em variety eeveelution too
I mean the eggs r just egg versions of the eeVees right? 
Idk if I want to EX the one I get tbh, as I dont need any of the 5 wtz and they dont have an EX style
Plus I hv 15 PUs and like 3-5 units I want to EX
I gave up on doing music keys bcz it’s too much
I gonna stop EXing this month, in case there's more than 1 fave next month 
I gonna EX mega able pairs, im strengthening my roster...good i guess, could help me with clearing more contents
I thought u only EX favs? Then again they do allow u to filter by favorited pairs 
Think 3k pts csmm will push this point further when we get Sinnoh/Kalos/Hoenn cs
My f2p poison(Ex koga) nuke wasn't cutting it in 3k so I ended up using a totally busted off type team to brute force instead
Thx to roxie and hilbert my bug and poison have improved
Now I just need an improvement in rock, maybe ghost but cynthia and lillie r fine rn
My busted team was sycamore with ss lyra and Adaman with permenant field parameters 
Almost guageless battle with insane dmg 
Im considering ss acerola and ingo for sand and GT, I want lucas and anni skyla (not just for zone tho), and a new bug zone and steel zone would be nice
Even with all hp params the mid still died to adaman's nuke after ex support sync

I was kinda expecting the mid to be able to tank it once but grassy terrain probably sealed their fate
What ML?
I think I have almost all str parameters selected as well
i just realized all the Veevees are on-sync infinite terrains, all this time i just assumed they had it on tm or something 
that makes the free VeeVee ticket even better imo, since f2p source of ♾️ field
Well even if it's only via TM, if they have mpr you technically still have access if you are willing to throw in candy on them
I updated it due to high score, i also EX non faves but faves get level 150 treatment because i realised that i did 5* 20/20 around 25 pairs without EXing them, might as well just press EX button
Do we have a way of sorting eggmons?
Fellow archer haver from free ticket? 
Ye
🤝
Thats harsh, i at least 140 and grid him, plus give him cs2 as well
Oh right there's 2 johto dark ..bpkaren and karen
Oh alr
PUs r the hard part for me 
I have like 1300 spirits atleast
I also need more PU's well at least the amount will increase in a while as i only left 4 non eggmon pairs to 5*
At minimum I lvl 140, grid, LS, and max theme skills (eventually)
Limiteds I plan to use get EX and 150, limiteds I dont plan to use get EX but not 150
Yep i aint gonna give them move candies but i at least can give em 140 and lucky skill plus grid 
|| like I got SS N while pulling for hilbert he just got 140 EX ||
Oh yeah I am almost dont w my theme skills
…. For 5*s
Oh i already done with theme skills
I maxed out everything even on the shiny eggmons
I just have SS N left, but also can get a few units this month
like free eevee, glodgedion, and eve
Even theme skills? 
Oh yeah I also 5* once a unit gets EX which includes lodge pairs
Rn I hv like 80
w 25 4*s, 26 w gladion
Yep they only need a bit of theme skills, they only have main character and type only
Oh i was wrong, there's 5 left but kalos VA rerun will give me at least 20
so gladion will be done
Oh true
How many tho?
I mean how many units
Oh i got 39 shinies
Later eeveelutions will add 8, hope i get all 8 of em shiny...kinda sad that paldea eggmon gave me 0 shiny
At least i got new ones recently...machop, sandshrew, diglett
Tbh I just do the 15 and quit 
Ill take any shinies but I ignore eggmons
Tho im paired up w alot of non shinies, but I have 1 of each besides cloyster I think
I’m not going for shiny. I’m going for the bronze eggs to quickly get the zones.
Also is diglett being added to regular eggs or? I think sandshrew and machop alr r
No shiny sandshrew and machop in regular pool
, i still didn't get 2 shiny in regular pool...squirtle and tauros
I mean u can get the regular ones or?
Will need to wait for half anni to see if they will add diglett
For now its just this event
They update egg general pool every half anni
Oh, I paired up w one but almost forgot
I think I donate ones that arent 3 bar, so my current one isnt 3 bar I just teamed up w it to have one
I probably need to find some shiny replacement for tangela, farfetch, kabuto, fearow because the silly old me made them 5/5 move level...i didn't notice that they dont give us much egg move candies before this 
Will replace my current ones and grab the extra 2 candies from each
I made all shinies 3/5 move level to keep the eggmons grid hopium going 
well to date I still got like 30 lv 1 units

tho some are not being left at lv 1 on purpose I just dont have a reason to level them yet

Oh that reminds me, i still have 1 level 135 pair...so today's stamina will all go to codex runs...sad where's training area drop boost period DeNa? 
I always exchange for those from event shops
Tho I think I only have 500 ish for a few types 
poison is low but atleast its enough for gladion ig
I thought I had a lot of poison codex tbh, || I used some on roxie || but I thought I had 1000+
I think ice is so low for me is because I got like four ice units in around half a year lol
Maybe even less
Irida > cred > Dana > ssn
Not enough even with this reset's stamina...still need 14 grass codex 
85,770 gems currently ||it feels great when im already done with mix banner, not gonna spend a dime on it till next lineup rotation||
15,360 gems left this datamine...i guess i can reach 100k
I’m not seeing 100k since I didn’t stay quite faithful enough but I’m fine with it bc I still basically guarantee two pities in the bank for December which is decently safe for me to be at considering my fav cleanup lately
Can’t think of any trios I’d want a full sweep of incase it were 3 mf
I also got ratchet and clank a rift apart to distract myself for a good chunk of the month
finally got the pc port of it
I don’t see myself making it to 140k unless December is a safe month. Which I really hope so for me.
I hope its not 3 especially when anniv recently gave us 3 
Please only be 1 or 2...if 1 it can be Volo, and bike lizards can be if its 2 
I will literally skip those three.
I play 4 gachas including PoMa and all of em are currently saving mode 
Because 1, I’m trying to recover, and 2, I’m waiting for my hisui or whichever the next Zoroark is.
I feel rewarded with them especially after i skipped cynthia + rats, adaman irida, frogs 
Oh leonzard too
Although ||leonzard, adaman, irida does still have the temptation due to possibility of lodge guests|| not on the others though as they are all alts
I realize mix scout can pose a very powerful tool to help save f2p gems and get limited units
So someone like Chest can potentially get all the pokefairs, seasonal, and variety with dallies and not have to spend 1 mil gems
At Ll
I limit myself to only put 50 points in mix scout every month to save gems yet have enough to pity if needed in 6 months, but now that ||i got mix red||, i just gonna stop early...i dont want to make him 3/5 and trying to get move levels for my fave is too low chance for it to happen seeing that it have all pairs except MF in it
Impressive
I still need dupes for sslana, sshilda, eusine, ssacerola but its too low rate to hope for dupes in mix scout 
If i ever do mix scout
I prob would want to work on a pity for Rei
Cause I love Decideye
Yeah
We had an average October and November so I'm expecting 27-30k for December like usual
19k gems for us, 3 MF plus 2 pokefair🤣
If you remove Variety from the equation last two months were fine imo
September was fucked beyond repair tho
And 4 variety fairs
Last time we went under 24k was 2 years ago lol
That's not happening
Wish we have many chinese players playing Pokemon masters and dishing out backlash
What
I heard from a friend that the Chinese community lay out their backlash on epic 7 for introducing a very simlar system to sync grids and fully bakctrack
Jesus Christ please no
That way dena will have to listen to us l
It was a different game
But yeah you get the picture
grids are saving grace to many units
they are one of the best things DeNA have ever introduced
yeah the context is very different
Ok now I'm curious tho, what would you ask to change aside varieties and mix maybe having a non paid option?
mix having a non paid option would be one step closer to eos
Less banners? More gems? They're pretty balanced at the moment
Personally, I would love a massive increase of gem count per month
Like, not many gachas have Poma rates and pity and give 2/3 of a pity per month at worst
And remove red from mix scout
Why red specifically
Wouldn't we all 
Cause he is the only paid version locked behind paywall
Except Grimsley 
Iirc the most generous gachas give one pity per month but have 1% as highest featured and 2-3% 5* rate
At best

Oh yeah, place ild limited units into new ones
Many gachas operate under the 1% featured rate and that is crazy to me
What
Keeps what up?
And i will not let my comfort game die when I’m stressing out all year
Stingy on gems, variety, paywall red, etc
Oh and too many banners at once
Gems are average
Variety if anything is a way to not get more interesting banners cluttering the month, paywalling variety is, for that same reason, nothing important
the game is still on a healthy stage
If I cared about that red I'd scout snorlax
I want over 30k gems on mf month
it wont go down for at least 1 year unless dena do something fuck up
Well that's on average what happens yes
September is pathetic
One of the thing that make a game die for sure is not making profits
Keep that in mind
Yeah that we all agree on
August did give 33k tho, and it was a MF month
Sure sure, but you wanna keep the player base happy especially for whales
Only poce can do it
And he does it for content
That i know off
Anyway, I wish its like epic 7 where large communities get together and throw backlah
And bully the dev into submission
And force them to retract their plans
Thing is, when you go for a gacha
You have to understand it's a game that's trying to make profits
So going in thinking to get everything implies you have no cap on the amount of money you might need
Or add stuff
Yeah that happened with prestige and sync orb chance already
Because those were really bad
Lmao
Whales are fading out everywhere so the gatchas have to adapt and rely more on lightspenders
That's why paid gems are more accessible than ever
Whales don't need more than 80k anyway
At least mix scout isn’t horrible
In what case you need more than 80k paid altogether
MF lol
And seasonals
And maybe see if they can catch up to Chest by spending money lol
?
You just need to buy a pity
Use it
Buy it again
Why would you need to have 80+k in one single batch
? I don't see how
Especially for poce
Whales can generate gems on wish
Who have to stop and spend money during streams
Mix scout, if you're a lightspender and don't have many limited, is a impressive good banner
Problem is yeah, Red being paywalled
If is just a promotional thing then we're good
My hopes is that they just put random featured units from the pool during next round and not brand new ones locked behind the banner
Anyway, you and i don’t see eye to eye
So lets end the convo
I just don't understand the reasoning behind it
Also, paid limits are used by the game Devs to track acquisition and economy of currency to understand what unit attracts more or less paid attention
Don’t make me destroyed you like I destroyed my dad on the israsel paladtine debate
So in general limits exist for good reasons
Bruh
Let's not bring that up here
Please do not
I shall not mention that specifically
But i am capable of going full debate force if i am very motivated
I wonder if part of it is to prevent stockpiling from bundles + the cheaper PoMa day/Anni bundles 
Agree with this
If you were gunna do a daily regardless, may as well be on something that'll carry over + a giant pool
Anyway, enjoy simping on dena dev and defending them
Agree as well
If the game died, i told you so-in ZD voice
Much appreciated, I also predict EoS will happen within the next 500 years or so 
EOS is when Anabel's Flickering Flame event ends
Year 3000....
Not before earth dies
So we're good, no need for debate 
I will put this on my receipt when that happens
You are extremely pessimistic
I had the a very bad day
I will pass my PMEX account down to my descendents
And the earth is probably gonna die in 100 years- rose words
they will carry on our legacy 
No you won’t, kids are expensive these days lol

i will pass down my Sonia simping to my descendents 
I wish i have decedents
Otherwise my legacy die with me
Pity & Variety, time for dinner!
My legendary pokemon masters career will die when i die
Cause my best friend def won’t continue it if i die so suddenly
Screw it, let the game die
Just to prove a point
I will ask them to take care of it inside my will...keep collecting legendary, mythical, UB, paradox going 
True, I just gonna do 50 points monthly, but now that i got ||the exclusive unit early, i can scrap that plan and just wait for the next lineup change || 
|| thinking about pulling
||
If you pull now, there's a high chance you don't get the featured unit and thereby drop to 0 gems and still be in the same position
true
when I get home I think I'll buy the daily gem bundle so I can hold my patience
True, its like 15k gems left ...and seeing that we got around 23-24k per month, your pulls might cost you missing December pair
oh
Tbh not sure if spoilers is enough
Ye I don't think that kind of post belongs here. It belongs in #gacha-and-flex
Also you said you'd save
||Tempted to grab penny if Cerena banner + datamine won’t be too gem draining. She seems cool as a trainer after playing her story||
At least she will still be here after datamine
Cuz banner ends 30th right
Ye fair.
Ye I did
I don't think I'll make it until December
I do still have a lot of the um
Legendary arena
Ye, we should be able to check it, I don't think they're going to wait the 30th for update
(28 or 29 seems good)
you don't have to pull a unit the minute a banner comes out
also, what is tempting you?
It's well worth it to wait, just remember that if you're struggling to save
this entire game hinges off patience
Rigjt
halfway through
Waiting patiently for datamine...well the other things that i look up to in this month are all free...eve, free eeveelution, and eeveelutions eggmons 
I’m keeping the Eevee eggmons due to them having zones.
Same, i just gonna keep non shiny, and replace with shiny version if i got it
I’ve only been awake for like five hours today lol. Got out of bed past 4, went back to sleep at like 7 and now it’s past midnight
atleast it helps me save if I’m not even awake to pay attention to the gems
Waiting for that datamine; can’t pull on Roxy if there is a good master fair coming up 
Even tho Toxicitry is definitely a fav
Rip having to skip a fav then considering that doesn’t stay till datamine 
At least pokefair mostly has a better rerun track record than mfs (barring ones like celesa who took like two years to rerun or whatever, and couple others prob like ssleon who I don’t think has had a free rerun still)
its funny that mix banner is the first rerun of many pairs
SS Leon, Anni Skyla, SS Dawn, SS Cyrus,... just name a few old limiteds who havent got a free rerun yet
I just realized I might end up with medal from fire hs if I actually try for it, so I might do so if it still looks realistic in a few days. It sure is interesting how I’m within top like 6600+ or so with only 187k and I can prob push quite a bit further if I shuffle my units around a bunch… I still feel really bad for people who lack anything useful for fire hse cause this prob means people struggling on it even more than I thought they were
Kinda funny that I might land it without even having Tina
I initially just waved it off from the f2p fire supports being bleak
If that’s even the right word
Personally I wouldnt count it as a rerun since it's paid gems only
Yeah if you count it then you’d have to count selects ssleon was in before lol
And anni skyla was just in a select too

You already got master medal before this?
Nope I didn’t push on water or electric
Oh good luck 
Man that Roxie banner is tempting but I need to save for serena
We're at 6000 gems!!!
Eve and Evelutions
!!!! woo

almost halfway!
you will 
the first one is usually the hardest to save up
you're doing great so far, it'll get easier
Just gotta wait a lil to refresh 
no rush!
legendary arena gives a bunch
I think I'm gonna pull yall 😔
Why pull when you are trying to save
Who is tempting you?
penny.........
I can talk anyone out of any unit by saying… offtyping exists
her moves look so cool
Kiki, did you make a list?
Is the Battle Challenge giving you a hard time? There are people that can help you in #1009557516369281075
no for what?
Also, when I feel these moments of temptation, I put the game away
oh no I finished that
she just looks cool to use
A list of favourite characters. Who do you want to see in game?
Make a list of fav characters/Pokémon. Anyone not on that list, you skip
Put it in a notes app
#1010223517565976737 has been updated, sorry for the delay
Also keep in mind that you can hit pity on a Pokefair without getting what you want
Me who’s been through that multiple times
Three months to get a cake isn't bad at all
Always remember, there's a sufficiently high chance you do 5 pulls on Penny and don't get her. That will leave you with no gems, no new unit and a horrible taste in your mouth 
That's right but
i saw ppl getting wht they want in like 2 multis
Stay out of #gacha-and-flex
Do not get tempted by the luck of others
ookay
That's luck never applies to everyone but the user itself.
That's just the rare top percent of people getting lucky, a good bunch of people are going to be hitting pity but you just won't see it
I'd mute #gacha-and-flex if I was you
There
Focus on your saving goals and yours alone.
alright
voila
okay I'm gonna save
I only need 16k gems left
||and a unit I want to come||
There’s no harm in waiting for datamine.
Saving isn't easy, but it is nessecary as you can't get every unit in the game.
that's right
yea
You aren't the first person to go through the FOMO/Do I want to Pull? Cycle
I was once like that
I think most of in here were once like that
Who says I’m still not like that
We all suffer from temptation
That’s why I play multiple gacha games 
It's what we do with it is what distinguishes the savers from those who don't
Simply play more gacha games 
Also #pull-simulator is great to let off steam
Me who only plays 1….and a half.
welp, another account nuke from my friend and along with all his saving progress. I'm gonna stop helping him for a while to save some annoyance for a while
Wdym account nuke?
deleting pokemon masters account and all its progress
i think its like the 10th nuke so far
i lost count
He regularly restarts his account?

I tried doing FF7EC, but it wants me to dedicate a fuckton of grinding time just for the story…….I ain’t got time for that shit.
yep
Only reason I haven’t fully deleted it is I’m not able to link my data yet. Need a Square Enix account
either when he gets super unlucky or he panics a lot and delete when he makes mistakes
mostly the latter
idk what that is
but probably
fear of missing out
i wonder if mix scout is the anditdote to fomo and capitalizing on light spenders
anyway, best advice to anyone
always save 36k gems at all times for a fav/target
you go all in or all out
never in between
yoloing is a sin
I'll wait for December then
Decided to do these while I’m waiting for those eevees. First five star eggmons
Masterfairs in December surely, keep on saving in case you want them
i keep hovering near 150k gems lately, feels like my sweet spot to be at
Green is a possibility now with arrival of Lets Go, but I'm a bit curious on how they will handle Kanto relationships between Elaine and the others
*about Green I'd like to see her around but also I've enough of Kanto and of Kanto mons
A little upset Elaine got no gmax
For Elaine, it makes sense
Still gonna be able to grab cerena + atleast one thing from December if a fav comes even with my mental lapse of judgment so I’m not gonna kick myself too badly for it
This is probably a better post for #1128052735967764621
sorry

gloria 
That’s a funny way of saying bisharp 
Kimono grim the real winner 
Molayne my beloved
Wikstrom and SC Shauna I think 
TRUE
i have been awaiting this day
og steven buff
Oh right, Aegislash have 2 forms so more stats? 
Yup
Y'all are sleeping on both Steel Jasmines smh my head 
What tier list were you referring of
I did not say tier list.
Your list is meant to compose of favorite characters. A few names, like 5.
Characters in the game, or not. Either one.
As a new saver, having a lot of names will wring your gems out if those people appear often.
The goal is to keep at least a pity for anyone. If you save multiple, like others here, great!
okay
#1010275375730925638 message this is a good example of a pulling tier list
there's no need to include characters you have no interest in
Oh yeah you can definitely use the tier list maker of Pokémon characters in general 
Its also a pretty solid list ngl
usually the top tier is characters you'd pull on instantly, regardless of kit/pokemon/type of scout, etc, because they're your biggest faves
that's my top tier
If anyone knows of a link to one, please link it
Well anyone after meh tier list I will pull
On yours, its a lot of names.
WELL
Not that one Tai, the other one
https://tiermaker.com/create/pokemon-trainer-and-protagonists--based-ness--1571438
Here's the one with characters that Winston showed me
Ok only favs
YES THAT ONE THANKS
Try to be picky with who you have at the top when you're making it. If you have too many faves like me you can quickly run through your gems

That would be bad tbh
Lana and Lillie could since they're both Alola, but it's not likely that Lana is gonna get another alt soon 
we could always hope 😔
Oh I'm always hoping especially for more Dawn 
All this tier list talk inspired me, so - here's my current character list. These are the characters where I will Spend Gems™️ without caring about kit or 'mon or anything else. I spot them in the datamine, I'm pulling.
NOTES:
- Any Kalos character is being pulled to 5/5 EX regardless, these are just my Huge Faves™️ within Kalos itself
- I'm also currently at HisuiMAX and may continue depending on which characters drop next, but Volo, Cyllene and Charm are my big wants.
- 1st time alts are based on characters who I think have a realistic chance of getting a proper alt; obviously there are other characters I'd love to see get alts, but I'm trying to keep it real!
- Will probably include some Paldeans once we get into the non-main characters (I'd like Geeta and Hassel).
this tier list maker didn't have them I'll include them later 
im surprised u got non kalos in the 1st tier too 
I love a lot of non-Kalos characters 
Who 👁️
Geeta and Hassel would have me
-ing
leo pointing meme
I know quality when I see it!
Trevors hair looks like an orange
he's a big fan of vitamin C
love that for him
this is the one i used
since it has all the paldea characters too
oh thank you, i'll bookmark this for later!
AA lOL
god charm will be great
i am desperate for the Miss Fortune's I....love them
Charm is just a special fave bc she's Agatha/Bertha's ancestor and I love that we have canon confirmation they're related now
(even though it was obvious)
Bianca!
does Zeen know about you having a Unova fav?
he does 
ironically my fave is one of the few unova characters (who actually have alt chances) that's been completely ignored!
NC Bianca next month 
I think this will be her time, fr
they didn't go into her backstory in the Penny event for her to be shafted!
Omg tai look
He needs a Kalos fav for it to be fair 
Sycamore canonically has a mega garchomo I think
Oops sorry hit the ping on accident
he's got one - 
Tai wants sycamore with magearna 
in the anime yes, but in the games no
and PMEX is based on the games
isn't that right @dire meteor
OH
Either way
Who is it
tell us Zeen

I need a sycamore emote where he's not screaming so people know when I'm referring to him 
Zeen's fave is Sycamore
lots of Kalos in this list
voltage jumpscare????
Lots of kalos not in this list 
All this pull list talk has me wanting to post mine when I get home 
heartbroken sycamore
Itll be a really good example of what not to do for a pull list 
also I'll pull anyway but I'm really praying Sycamore does not get a mega-evolving mon

Here mine
if they can respect Piers' dislike of dynamax they can respect Sycamore's canon inability to use mega evolution!!!
That’s canon?
yes
in XY he is unable to use mega evolution, he decided to study it instead
it's a very interesting part of his character
that the anime ruined

I played x and y for a few seconds also
I played until sycamore
stared at him for 5 seconds
logged off
and forgot about the game forever
"According to a woman in the Tower of Mastery, Sycamore trained at the Tower of Mastery in his youth to learn about Mega Evolution. However, he left fairly quickly as he decided he didn't have what it takes."

anyway. would spend massive gems on that list of characters, dena please come through for me
That’s moreso because the tower of mastery was too strong for augustine weakamore
Sycamore is my kalos favorite fr
Also if they can strip lillie’s ability to use Z-Moves, they can give Sycamore a mega 
Zeen be based, as always!
Not that I want to get into it in the Resource thread, but it's far more interesting to have a character that failed at something and decided they could love it/be part of it anyway, than just handing them the ability and ruining that message
...this might be why I like Bianca so much as well

I think Lillie also used z moves on the anime
Yup
She has a grassium in the games (and had a solgal/lunalium that nebby gave her, so her lunala in this game should have given her one too), and an Icium in the anime
i forgot i was in the thread
why doesn't Lillie have an alolan vulpix
thought this was #poma-lounge
Isn't her Lunala in this game canonically not Nebby though?
Yup, but if nebby can make one, then this lunala should be able to as well 
That’s just an anime pairing, and she doesn’t use one in games
Not that it always follows everything that happens in games, but a lot of things tend to be inspired by them (Lillie’s base, NY, and Lodge all use her main series mons, and Anni uses a mon she’s connected with)
your pfp
it's refreshing some memories.....
you should come in this thread more often! Save Gems™️
congratz!
16.6k left


thanks!!

I want to pull 😔
I get like 10k each week
last week I exactly had 10k less then today
last sunday
today
Two more weeks and your pull will definitely get a unit!
yep!
but I won't be pulling for the whole wek
Week
So I've got around 3 weeks for next data mine to see what comes
Well, you might keep getting lodge units in that time
right
most likely just secured my master medal, gotta wait a while to see if forecast of scores changes much. im back to just chilling and zenning for a while now.
for once i actually saw content where i actually wanted to spend my candy on, so im back down to 1
candy + 10 coins and 1
candy and 18 coins for those two roles... (the tech candies wont last through winter tho lol). hope i can form some more strike candies soon tho.
also was my first time actually using skill gear, these things are more useful than i initially thought.
I’m at 10 pity so far
Going to be well prepared for MF
Next month
Though I see sadness and disappointment in many people’s eyes when trying to yolo or pull someone under a pity
Past 360k? Noice
Waiting anything in particular?
Masterfairs
Love collecting rarities
Also, favs too
And sometimes powerful meta unit not in mf categories
I’m on a 3 month gem saving diet
Where i only spend f2p gems on mar, jun, sept, dec
Kinda same target on mfairs but resources are stric and with no extra luck i'm kinda slowing down 
If the average stops at 30k and they're not going to release more than 10 mfairs/y we can do it
True
Remember we don't encourage pulling on MFs just for the sake of them being MFs
Always nice if they're a fave 
Yep, for the first time I had enough of it ||and pulled for Roxie compromising the next month mfairs||
No lucky pulls but was worth, still have 40k
If i follw that advice
I would have 500k by now
Maybe 1 million
And you call that excessive lol
A fave is a fave, don't feel bad

Yeah!
It depends to be honest
Most of the time, you wanna make use of your fav
I have fav and I regret pulling after a few months
I love ice horse, but he is so useless at 1/5
Oh and maybe regret attempting to pull for maybun and either not going all in or not pulling at all
Lucky roxie is quite good for my roster
A fav I skipped on purpose was Victor but bcs was really disappointed on 5/5 grids introduction
Well, my philosophy is
If my fav is not meta enough or in the variety scout
I skip
And had enough grass, plus non-alt pokefairs might return in better banners so I waited
|| got him in the select banner for 3k paod gems., worth imo ||
Rn just waiting for Bea & Falinks
That's good if it works for you
I could never skip a fave regardless of scout or kit
See - my collection of Rocket Execs 
Oh yeah rocket execs
I will force my faves to work once I pull them 
Fair
If Brock, Hau and Steven were to be bunch up like that, I hard skip and move on
I’m not risking that unless i do dumb sports bet
And that only happens every April lol
Me doing H.Erika LG solos to.prove he's not on Cheren tier 
Hey NY Dawn is good

Got Bulu and Raikou 
That’s how i maintain my gem count while trying to surpass Aqua one day
Me using my 1/5 Copperajah because I refuse to use candies even on faves:
It's my account's 2nd birthday : D, been quite a journey
i might have the most candies of anyone here actually
Me ||pulling three non-faves to make a massive fave good||
do not do this kids! Don't do it!!
Anyway if dena update mix scout every month, it will be a powerful tool
The Eusine fave
always love to see it
I have more 
I may get Rei and Decedeye back immediately
I have not gotten around to candying Emma lmao
I should but I feel like I don't need to
also SS Hilbert I do plan to candy but I've been lazy
Maybe last year during an LG when I was going for auto streaks
I have almost no 3/5 limiteds lol
Goddamn
My proudest accomplishment

I save them for when I "need" them but I never do 
Found my 1st year pic, quite a comparison
Funny how the medals barely changed
+52 sync pairs in a year
That's one new sync pair per week
oh huh
I suppose lodge, event, and BP units help with that
lemme check how mant units I got over the year from my chart
How many new Poison units have we gotten 
I did this several times, was swept with the zone hype and pairs that boost my faves
...but now, its another faves that boosted my faves just like tapu koko and zapdos boosting zekrom, regice boosting black kyurem, genesect boosting pheromosa 
I should just wait
Although it took 2 years
I only recorded how many I pulled which would go to 18 units
The rest would be free pairs
Anyway, I am mentally well prepared to never see a Brock alt ever again that is not. Variety
So that is why I don’t put favs too much in my list
Cause they never come
Dunno if I should exclude 3 actually, since I actually joined in the middle of Fall but for this year I didn't log in a few days
Wait the favorite sync pair is not poison? 
Steven is the one true reliable source and even I don’t think he can carry it all
Bestie my favorite of all time will always be Eusine
I can't make a EusineMAX if there's only 1
Rip Glacia 
Glacia is always 2nd top favorite
DeNa should give poison Eusine alt to make you happy 
Still waiting for Glacia alt
Kinda surprised by that
Thought she be very popular and getting at least 5 alts by now
trying to think of a poison mon that would fit
Flannery alt where? 
With this month enough
Also I hope they stop giving us zubat line
Team rocket grunt & zubat 
sad we don't have a shiny one yet
Eusine and shiny Golbat when
give him Crobat and I'll will explode
Found a PoisonMAX image from that month surprisingly
Firis was the first limited poison and that was in October
it really has come a long way
Damn, I remember the times where Koga was the best Poison damage
We've gotten11 poison units in the span of a year
We kinda need. Imagine HS poison
Give him Muk!
Muk pollutes the water, Suicune cleans it 
I wanted poison Eternatus & Rose so much
So, he pollutes the water?

huh, decided to count how many master fairs ill have pulled as of this upcoming pomaday after reading some of the chat i missed.
im at 12 once i grab cerena. thats a lot
Ye, that's nice
Luckly I'm a day1 player so free from reruns 
In my journey of collecting faves, it grows to 17 MF 
Hope December has more faves MF
146 400 
long way to go
You don't look very gemless to me lolol congrats, this is impressive
if december is a bust I might hit it
Are you saving for anything?
SC Diantha
🫡
Dw!!! I expect her to come soon
the mix banner is just salt in the wound
This fall perhaps
I don't pay for gems
Dw friend you'll get her on a free gem banner eventually
They might rerun her event this fall with a banner
pls 
This fall? For a moment I thought it was winter already with the weather over here 
Already been wearing my winter coat just to walk the dogs
Oh ya I feel u
I've been wearing my winter gear every day too. I have low cold tolerance tho 
that banner sucks tho, if you are only after a specific limited unit the rate is pretty abysmal unless it's mix red you are after
True, that's why ||i bail after I got him|| well i could just wait for selects for others that i want as 30k paid for a pity is quite steep
Also putting 50 points monthly seems like a good strategy for now for me, i will continue doing that in the next lineup as im done with this one
Im late, we got maintenance notification now?
so datamine on 27th i guess 
i wonder why they announced the maintenance so far ahead
Probably they want to fix android 14 or add the new stuffs, the profile picture thingy that they mentioned in dev letter before
It’s not a usual thing, they don’t want people getting caught by surprise
Have we ever gotten masterfairs in Jan?
SSR Cynthia
wait, nope, she was late December
MFs are definitely more of a December thing
i would count her for january
ehhhh you could go either way I reckon
depends on how religious you are about release dates 
her banner was like two months long it was wild
27dec to 28 feb
probably bc it was their first and only time doing back to back MF banners
funny how we thought that was as bad as it could get with MFs
and then the Johtrio dropped 
Watch Unova NC be 4 units at once haha
EoS finally?
Or the Volo+Cynthia Master Fair EX with 0.5% rates
introduction of 7 star ex+
Not even close, they just launched mix banner

wonder what it is to require restarting the server
Well might just be that they're reworking some mechanics around their way of organising data drops and such
