Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[feral vale]

Speed buffs ftw

[sage ferry]

Reddit sure says otherwise and the teir lists gave me a mentality of “insert this is good and insert that is bad”

[turbid sapphire]

and even after that i still had a mostly free roster for cs besides rats

[winged fossil]

When I started a lot of free units were still missing grids

[crisp oracle]

Reddit is one of the worst places for advice tbh

[turbid sapphire]

tier lists 👏 don't 👏 matter!

[tardy fiber]

When i started, its still legendary events and no legendary adventures

[winged fossil]

yea that too

[turbid sapphire]

tier lists are only relevant for making the game easier/leaderboards

there's no pvp in this game

[rare swan]

not to be completely and utterly biased but please come here for advice, not the subreddit

[tardy fiber]

And DeNa keep rerunning mewtwo and i was like why? Where's my zinnia?

[crisp oracle]

anyways, your favourites list should be something like this. Compact, with clear and defined goals for pulling. And pull nothing else but these units you place on your favourites list.

[winged fossil]

hops initial run event going on when i started helped a lot, and i really felt the pain of starting RIGHT after mewtwo reran at the time.

[crisp oracle]

Diantha, Gloria, Anabel, Hilda, Irida

that's enough for me

[feral vale]

Agreed lmao

[sage ferry]

I HAD GLORIA

I HAD HER

[crisp oracle]

and you deleted it?

[wise bison]

Should I give N.Serena ex role

[winged fossil]

...had?

[wise bison]

[sage ferry]

I couldn’t revive the account

[tardy fiber]

DeNa even helps now, before this we cannot use the same pair in the same team...now just use three diantha, DeNa wont care

[feral vale]

This isn’t the place to ask, #poma-questions

[winged fossil]

ask in #poma-questions or #916852389347196958 not here

[crisp oracle]

https://tenor.com/view/rejoicing-gif-5149119

[feral vale]

No worries a11, I’ll do triple Diantha for you

[wise bison]

Cynthia always on my fav list

[winged fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/multiverso-multiverso-akela-multiverso-scout-gif-8208802467565299466

[dark oar]

which gloria?

[winged fossil]

teams these days, am i right

[sage ferry]

Cinderace Gloria

[dark oar]

is it just her? :o?

[crisp oracle]

I'm waiting very patiently for my SC Diantha rerun. She's my absolute favourite unit and her being in mix right now absolutely is a punch in the gut. I've been waiting a year and a half and I've been punched twice. But we keep savin on.

[sage ferry]

That and a 3/5 Wally

[feral vale]

Why do you need to know Rei?

[tardy fiber]

Many QOL
-permanent legendary events
-all pairs have grids except eggmons, jessie, james
-same pairs in the team
-permanent VA event so that people can get 1 5* ticket pull of every region early

[dark oar]

You can rebuild

[feral vale]

Support Bugsy rerun when………..

[sage ferry]

Their banners is as long as it takes to fix a blue screend switch

[tardy fiber]

After jessie and james , i need em

[sage ferry]

Forever

But again they rerun so

[crisp oracle]

yes!

that's the eye

[dark oar]

just wait for their rerun banners. Eventually.

[crisp oracle]

key

not eye

[dark oar]

until then, save your gems o/

[crisp oracle]

anyways... knowing they can rerun helps you make smarter pulling decisions

by knowing you don't have to pull now

[feral vale]

And making sure you prepare your gems for that day.

[rare swan]

the second she appears in a datamine i will ping tf out of you

[tardy fiber]

Focus on the good f2p pairs first, legendary adventures and story pairs are a good start...also those pairs that you get while doing permanent VA

[crisp oracle]

#salt-channel

[feral vale]

Spoil pulling please

[crisp oracle]

please do it would be much appreciated

[tardy fiber]

This is not resource spending support, its saving..so spoil pulling

[sage ferry]

Tbh

I play genshin ya know so 5-stars are ranked off teir lists

[crisp oracle]

this isn't genshin

[sage ferry]

So it became my mentality

[crisp oracle]

there's no pvp

there's nothing to be afraid of

[feral vale]

Honestly, just throw all that out the window.

[tardy fiber]

Well they are good 4* pairs too like Barbara, Fischl

Thoma

[crisp oracle]

wait you play genshin

[sage ferry]

I simp for tighnari

So yeah I do but

Not the point

It applies to alot of games I play

So it’s not just Pokémon masters

[crisp oracle]

Even in other gacha's

if you throw the tier list out the window and just play with your favourite characters

you'll have a good time

[sage ferry]

I’m trying to berid the mentality and it’s not working

[tardy fiber]

If you pulls based on 5*, just check how many 5* pairs this month including rerun...doubt you can get all of em, you probably just get 3*, 4* or gen pool so better to build those easier accessible pairs

Darn discord removin *

[feral vale]

⭐, my guy

[crisp oracle]

yes... I made this

it's cringe, I know

but it servers it's purpose

pull favorites over meta and you'll be a very very happy player

[feral vale]

Calem

[sage ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/lusamine-pokemon-pokémon-sun-and-moon-pokémon-evolutions-gif-25514045

[crisp oracle]

you like Lusamine?

[sage ferry]

She’s a baddie ngl

But I absolutely do

[tardy fiber]

Also talking about genshin, aint you need to save primos for months to guarantee...at least poma guarantee in 1 and a half months of saving

Its 90 for pity and not even guarantee

So you need 180 pulls if unlucky

[sage ferry]

Me looking at me 160 primogems:

[tardy fiber]

See, you need to save on genshin too

Just adopt it in poma

[sage ferry]

I think I can make lusamine work

Gimme one sec

[tardy fiber]

Roach lusamine? I always use her on bug weak

[feral vale]

Base Lusamine……she’s frail af

[sage ferry]

Play by faves not meta

[tardy fiber]

Gonna hopium that slither wing will be bug support

[crisp oracle]

now you're thinking...

[feral vale]

No I’m just saying be careful with hers in particular, she’s not an easy setup.

[crisp oracle]

but yes there are better ftp alternates to Lusa I think

sadly

[crisp grotto]

Burgh > Lusamine for bug content I'd say, and Hala > Lusamine for ice content

[feral vale]

I like Lusamine, but ack her base is shitty to use.

[crisp grotto]

Of course if you lack either then you can make her work too

[dark oar]

Copium : She gets power boost tiles ;_;

[tardy fiber]

I make her work by pairing her with genesect, but not sure how they fares on 15k cs ...iirc there's still no bug weak yet for now

[sage ferry]

I mean I could save for Sygna suit lusamine and necrozma if you’d like?

[crisp oracle]

absolutely

[dark oar]

definitely

[crisp oracle]

that's the whole point of saving

[tardy fiber]

Yep if your fave is lusamine, that includes necrozma

[crisp grotto]

It's not about what we like, this is about you & your favs. But yeah, saving for her would be great if she's a fav

[crisp oracle]

even I saved for LuSSa, even though she sits at the back of my storage

i like the outfit

and that's good enough to sit in the back of my storage while SS Steven does all the grunt work

[sage ferry]

I will say that lusamine may be a goddamn child abusing lunatic but dang that sygna suit design is good

Probs the best in my opinion

[tardy fiber]

I still use lussa now, sssteven is the one that sits collecting dust now...what am i to do, sslana+lussa combo is so good

[crisp oracle]

no matter what the poma character did in game... IF YOU LIKE IT, YOU SAVE FOR IT

[sage ferry]

UNDERSTOOOOD

[feral vale]

Me with Lysandre

[sage ferry]

Me and that one N costume:

[crisp oracle]

It's me with... well I don't have any villain faves but I think all my favorite characters are really cute

[sage ferry]

Man why are the villans cuter than the rivals

Looking at you, N

[crisp oracle]

that's just you

me, i just like cute ladies tbh

and also ladies in combat gear

[uneven bone]

Buff ladies. That’s all.

[feral vale]

Consider: ladies in suits.

[sage ferry]

That one team star fighting boss-

[uneven bone]

Dendra.

[sage ferry]

Haha sounds like dendro

But yah

[uneven bone]

Cynthia in a suit. Come on DeNA

[crisp oracle]

||this is why the anabel banner is more tempting than it has to be||

[uneven bone]

Yeah Eri’s cool.

[wise bison]

Bikini pls

[sage ferry]

The units I’m specifically saving for

[crisp oracle]

that's dena's last resort hammer

break in case of emergency

[wise bison]

Marnie got a conservative type of bikini for summer

[uneven bone]

Summer Cynthia with shiny Milotic. I will blow my life savings

[crisp oracle]

cynthia with swimsuit is the last resort "break glass"

it's not going to happen unless DeNa needs a cash injection

which will happen in the year 3000 when the Anabel Ultimate Battle expires

[wise bison]

Would all in my gems for her

[sage ferry]

Tbh I want adaman bc he not only looks good

But bc I need another hot man in my lodge

[crisp oracle]

you do you

if that's your motive, you do it

[dire meteor]

It's not really appropriate in this server to bring up stuff like this.

[wise bison]

That's why I hide it😅

[crisp oracle]

still, we read it

[dire meteor]

Still inappropriate, whether you spoiler it or not. This is a PG13 server.

Just keep that in mind.

[feral vale]

Can I also mention guys in dress-looking outfits?

[dark oar]

ladies in suits, barring Anabel D:?

[warm scarab]

Couldn't resist ||pulled for Cserena|| 🥹 I have 1 pity left. Should be OK for December?

[rare swan]

we need more fancy/formal outfits the NC outfits this year just haven't done it for me

[rare swan]

you have a pity so you can guarantee your top unit from the datamine, don't stress

[sage ferry]

I actually have a question what is pity?

[rare swan]

+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.

[rare swan]

pitying a unit means spending the max number of gems possible

you guarantee the unit (you can choose it) on pity, but it's not considered particularly lucky as it means you spent the maximum gems required to get a unit

[warm scarab]

Do you play any card games like poker @sage ferry ?

[unkempt vortex]

It is lucky

[rare swan]

hence why we always recommend having a pity's worth of gems available (as per the numbers above) in case luck isn't with you

[unkempt vortex]

Because you didn’t get the unit at any point earlier

[sage ferry]

No?? If we’re counting uno?

[rare swan]

that is unlucky

[warm scarab]

Or casino games lol?

[rare swan]

you mentioned playing genshin, iirc they have a similar system called sparking?

(idk, i don't play it)

[warm scarab]

If you roll singles. It's like putting your money on roulette. When you win you are super happy but pretty much 99% of the time the odds are stacked against you.

[unkempt vortex]

There are very few gacha games where singles are better

[warm scarab]

So not having a pity or 36.3k gems when you roll chances are you are burning your gems

[prime quarry]

Genshin also has a pity system. The main difference is that the pity actually carries over between banners there

[warm scarab]

Sigghhh I wanted to wait for datamine. Serena is too beautiful 🥹🥹

Should have come in here earlier and got yall to talk some sense in me

[wise bison]

Serena worth the gems

She is top tier water type sync pair so you are not wasting your gems

[unkempt vortex]

It’s a waste of gems if you don’t care

[wise bison]

[dire meteor]

If only PoMa expands it to include more than Mix

[wise bison]

Master Mix

Then come out sync pairs even broken than master sync pairs

[feral vale]

Why try to tell others to pull for pairs they don’t want?

This thread isn’t about going for meta anyway.

[wise bison]

Did you mean me?

[feral vale]

Who else could I have meant…?

[crisp grotto]

Maybe have a read of this to understand what the channel is for

[rare swan]

Please do not say things like this in this channel, we do not consider meta here

We've had to remind you a few times now

[wise bison]

Ok sorry

[vernal glade]

Even tho datamine isn’t here, I might go ahead and skip December since I need to continue saving.

[tardy fiber]

I will wait for datamine before making decision, there's always some things that might sway even if i decide that i should skip a month...but i already skipped anything in past 2 months so im in a good shape

[uneven bone]

It’s a fun coincidence that two of my favourite media franchises both have a character named Eri.

[vernal glade]

So ya, back to saving mode.

[gloomy holly]

I'm at 25670 gems now, most likely NC banner on December

[warm scarab]

It's usually 2 right?

[tardy fiber]

2/3 if NC... although i hope its only 1 like lussamine and ssrcynthia

Give NC on half anni

[radiant sapphire]

After a lot of very bad decision i promised to myself that im gonna save. I haven't saved gems since the johtrio 2 years ago (or is it a year i dont remember)

[tardy fiber]

Dont worry, i also become a saver after plenty of bad decisions

[radiant sapphire]

I hope we can cheer each other to do our best

[winged fossil]

Umbreon acquired tonight. At 5/8 3 passive eevees

Need jolteon, leafeon, and espeon

Thankfully they are ones I have alternatives for but still hoping for full set

[broken mulch]

Oh sweet Jolteon. 2/8, not looking good for a complete set lol

[grim plover]

is VElio sync animation new?

i know its a z move but i dont remeber if theres another pair with that

oh yeah lana, nvm

[tardy fiber]

Not new but at least better than generic impact or beam

Just like my smliza, flying impact looks very weird with celesteela that i opt to grid her for non sync build

[grim plover]

yeah, i would say ball guy > vElio, vSelene > Else in terms of variety quality

[tardy fiber]

I probably grab variety exclusive pairs if there's select...the exclusives are like ball guy, ariana, proton, petrel... already got archer for free so exclude him

Others are just lazy alts

[versed flame]

free cheren copy lets go !!
at 2/5 he is hm... marginally better ?

[sand crown]

Didn't put it in here when it happened, but I finally crossed two pities again... been awhile given the gem counts

[lost bobcat]

He got some sand sinergy and stats, which helps yes

[grim plover]

Gems

Come on dena, I'm ready for your strongest MF

[feral vale]

Don’t jinx it my dude

[fallen path]

It’ll be the strongest MF until the next MF

[gloomy holly]

7 MFs on December

[grim plover]

[violet nebula]

This probably accurate

[robust plaza]

Gem count. Datamine when?

[hard wave]

Abt 33 hrs hopefully

[sly breach]

Wait why tf are you still frequenting here

You are a gambler just like me so here is of no use to us

[prime quarry]

There's nothing wrong with trying to get better at saving

[pure arrow]

gem count for today (starting this again in an attempt to start saving better): 5,685

[sage ferry]

I got to the 4’000s!

[prime quarry]

[sage ferry]

btw I didn’t transfer it lol-

[winged fossil]

Think my only unclaimed gems rn is steel coop and some sync pair stories.

[sage ferry]

Adaman and leafeon rerun when??

[bleak falcon]

Only DeNA has the answer to that

[unkempt vortex]

The answer is never

All units stay in jail until dena wants or in some cases rerun the same 5 pf

[winged fossil]

Sometime after grass hse. Cope. it’s coming too soon for his rerun to be possible

If we assume a year approx minimal

[upbeat lotus]

the frogs return after around 11 months, so Adaman rerun as monthly MF is possible

currently im saving for him so i hope that turns out to be true

[hard wave]

Im assuming after anni, anni 3 w/o ash for NY then galar birds for run up, then after anni/end of march adaman or irida?

[upbeat lotus]

they already skipped 3rd anni trio to rerun the frogs, and Maxie/Archie rerun before Leon so at this point anything can happen

we shall see in the next datamine

[hard wave]

True, but it’d match last yr w anni units for run up

The other masterfairs could rerun another time and we get MFs that alr reran tho ig

[grim plover]

same, unless another grass fav comes first

[rare swan]

Yeah I doubt we'll see him for Grass HSE, sadly

Victor and SS Acerola are better guesses

[winged fossil]

wasnt him and irida like, june ish? them coming back by january would be a new record for sure, esp when we still need sstred / auracynthia reruns

theres also galar trio iirc before them in release order so, thatd be too many to leapfrog over i think

like 5 units excluding Ash

only chance at it is if we get multiple reruns in december or jan

[upbeat lotus]

let me cope

[sage ferry]

I ain’t copin

I have hope

Either way that’s the only reason why I’m savin ^^

[unkempt vortex]

Hope leads to despair

[rare swan]

gotta have a bit of hope to keep the gems secure

[tardy fiber]

Hope that leads to despair are jessie, james and ash rerun

I exclude bugscyther as he at least is much more realistic

[winged fossil]

James rerun would be a dream come true.

but since team rocket and ash are retired, slim to none.

speaking of dreams, for some reason i randomly had a dream of ||ending up with 5/5 of a PF right at pity.|| of all things to happen in a dream right before i woke up, i have ZERO clue why it was that.

[sage ferry]

I had a dream of getting irida. Literally.

[lost bobcat]

A nightmare or a huge fav

[winged fossil]

||Elaine & Eevee i think it was?|| im especially clueless cause i have 0 temptation for that unit.

i think all my remaining temptation for current banners is gone atp since ive clean swept the pairs i wanted for the month and recognized ||penny|| wouldn't actually fit in my team for the type without over investment.

needs full crit support and im not able to over invest in a support that isnt a mega fav rn

[lost bobcat]

Ye not having enough to invest is a good reasion to avoid pull
Also datamine is tomorrow

(Probably)

[winged fossil]

im also pretty sure that unless im missing something, she has no speed buffs so thatd make serena have to tm mpr and waste first 3 turns tming + 1 turn applying para

so its enough for me to just be like "yeah ok i prob wouldnt get use out of this where its meant for so why bother"

speaking of, really hoping when/if she gets an EXR that its cake

would really really help with clearing sides with her i feel like

the way im planning to look at supports that are lesser favs from now on is basically like that, "does this actually improve my fav dps for whatever niche theyre helping? no? bye then". any way that helps me save is good enough for me.

[lost bobcat]

Also a good chunk of Lodge units are supports

Before there was a rush in supps now i feel less that need

[tardy fiber]

I like that all lodge units have EX now, really helpful as there's a bunch of support pairs

[oak crest]

do u EX them?

or still faves only

[tardy fiber]

I already EX them but non faves still wont be above 140

[oak crest]

ooh

idt i even have 15 units above 140

[tardy fiber]

It helps me for HSE as not like enemies weak to HSE types

[oak crest]

maybe just 15

idk

dam tho, another batch of useless eggs

[tardy fiber]

But i still dont have 100 EX because bunch of my other 20/20 pairs dont have EX like bugsy, noland, agatha, bruno

[oak crest]

not even a 3 star eevee

[hard wave]

I have 60 lvl 150s atm + 68 certs in my bag rn

[hard wave]

Yeah im at 79

[tardy fiber]

I have 71 lvl 150 and 150 certs in bag

[hard wave]

Need more PUs

[hard wave]

thats 20 more than me

[tardy fiber]

Gonna hopium for level 200 cap

[hard wave]

Tho rn im trying to 5/5 lodge units w stones so I wont be getting as many certs

[oak crest]

currently sitting at 84 EXs lol

[tardy fiber]

Now i plan to expand my EX criteria to pairs that can mega evolve as they need to sync anyway, might as well get EXed

[winged fossil]

yeah im finally running into the wall again cause im refusing to spend scout tickets for regions ive maxed lol. thankfully when i do see new favs i tend to end up with a good burst of them in the process but still.

went from being constantly in the hundred+ to being at 49

[lost bobcat]

I burned them on skill gear shop

Did for science

I'll probably wait next year genpool upgrade
But it's boring, I stacked so much
This year I only burned 90 regional to get Colress to 3/5, unnecessary but I like him

[winged fossil]

im still doing hoenn cause 1/5, prob done with sinnoh for now cause got 2/5 finally and dont rly care too much bout last dupe on ... unova i might decide to roll for final dupe, i havent decided yet. and galar i have to try for melony first copy still

:melony: emote when

[prime quarry]

🍈

[winged fossil]

either way i think thats a summary of all im really missing from current ticket pool

[lost bobcat]

For unova. Wait if you're almost low
Lenora next update

She's really strong

[vernal glade]

I’m saving my Unova tickets alright.

[winged fossil]

ooh, alright.

3/5 colress is only missing thing in current unova pool so ill wait for lenora then

that means hoenn and galar are the only regions im using tickets for atm

[oak crest]

im using Sinnoh & Galar

only got 1/5 for police cosplayer for Sinnoh and 1/5 on Gordie for Galar

Vantner u cleared anabel's stage yet?

[winged fossil]

only reason i was really caring about sinnoh tickets before was cause i was stuck on 1/5 (originally 0/5) dawn for over 2 years. still surprised i only got 1/5 dawn this year and only just got 2/5 dawn today.

cause i already 3/5+'d the e4 pretty quickly after they entered gen pool barring Bertha who i 3/5'd off tickets

[oak crest]

sinnoh was a relatively small pool before the e4 got added

[winged fossil]

my sinnoh ticket experience before expansion:

literally mostly fantinas

[lost bobcat]

We're getting more Kalos tickets rn with just 3 units

[oak crest]

ew fantina

i hate her

she used to flood my ticket pools for Sinnoh when my Dawn and another unit wasnt 3/5

[winged fossil]

shes not terrible after her expansion but still not great, esp when i have good limited ghost pairs

[vernal glade]

My ghost roster not great at the moment but I don’t really mind since I want to save for favs anyways.

[winged fossil]

im glad i hesitated on kalos ticketing for final dupe of cause my patience paid off today with no downside to saving for the newer kalos units

my top priority on the kalos expansion was just 0/5 > 2/5 for tm mpr anyway

[hard wave]

I waited for 4th anni to use them and got 5/5 shauna (first copy was from gen tickets tho then got 5 additional copies from kalos tickets)

Cant save them rn tho cuz I need PUs and I dont have the patience

[oak crest]

my Shauna went to 3/5 pretty fast after she got added to Kalos pool

[vernal glade]

Same.

[winged fossil]

i think if i were to waste a region itd prob be kanto, but even then, i cant be bothered to with how wide the gen pool is i feel like region tix are the only reliable way to get them freely now

[vernal glade]

Well it’s because Kalos roster is only 3 so that must been why.

[oak crest]

yea

next year it would be +2

[lost bobcat]

Who could join genpool from Kanto?

[oak crest]

assuming we dont get any further spotlights from kalos

[hard wave]

Almost everyone I have is 3/5 atm

0/5: drasna lenora and ryuki
1/5: grimsley and olympia

[winged fossil]

speaking of trainers, yknow... im a bit surprised we still dont have a gacha 5* alt yet, not even a variety for such an iconic kantonian

[upbeat lotus]

Bill

[hard wave]

And I also want a dupe of may to get the swampert frame

[crisp grotto]

I want to see more Sygna Suit alts in gen pool

[lost bobcat]

Genpool Bill, hope so

[upbeat lotus]

tbh at this rate anyone can be PF

[lost bobcat]

Maybe Trace

[winged fossil]

[hard wave]

It’d be nice to have the newer spotlights 3/5 but I dont see myself using any of them tbh, so ig 1/5 for now atleast

Grimsley I never use so idrc too much about him being 1/5, I mostly just want a may dupe for the lodge frame out of all the gen pools I havent maxed yet

[winged fossil]

im glad they make even a lot of modern spotlights usable at 1/5

[lost bobcat]

After Emma i lost all hopes in what could make sense for a pf

[oak crest]

ig she isnt a popular char?

[winged fossil]

i was pretty surprised when i saw ryuki exit npc hell into gen pool, was 100% convinced his npc hell meant he'd be some kind of limited at this point.

[opaque cargo]

And dont ever ever pull for dupes. Worst advice if someone says go for dupes. Cause i can candy em. I got lots of candy playing for a whole year. And sometimes broken unit only need 1/5

[turbid sapphire]

almost every broken unit only needs 1/5

[oak crest]

i always discourage pulling for dupes but I'm also 1 who pull for dupes at times

[turbid sapphire]

||i comtinue to pity for dupes if i'm at 330+ points||

anything less and i don't

[opaque cargo]

Sure but this also a poor advice, if u got another unit u want, better save

[turbid sapphire]

yee fs

[lost bobcat]

Not enough popular I believe, but she's looker assistant and he's a genpool
Look at Courtney for example

[turbid sapphire]

it's just something i do bc i hoard candies and i like having stronger units, and i always weigh whether i'd rather have more power or more gems before continuing

[oak crest]

tbh i played both sm and usum and i dont even remember her existance

[lost bobcat]

Same

[prime quarry]

Emma is in the X and Y post game

Not Alola

Anabel is in Alola

[oak crest]

i remembered Looker only b/c i think he appeared in more than 1 game iirc

[lost bobcat]

Maybe confusing with sina

[opaque cargo]

If u can get past the 3k pulling addiction, u most certainly can stop when it reach 6k and so on. And dont press the banner button.

[lost bobcat]

Btw she has no business being pf and even less being with Crobat
I'd love her espurr

[opaque cargo]

And remember every 25th is another 1k gem guarantee

Battle villa is 3k

Or is it lesser

In one month is around 30k ish?

Its not impossible i guess. Just refrain from pulling for 1 month and see ur gem

I got 10k now. And im started not to pull or see any banner. Period

[lost bobcat]

Sadly we're lower, unless next month prove different

[sage ferry]

I’m doing great actually! I have like 5k rn!

[opaque cargo]

Nice keep it up

Focusing in getting egg eevee also help. They are source of weather/zone that we need

Im at point where even most of my gen pool unit at 3/5 minimum. And im still getting the gen pool ticket counting high

Pulling using those ticket also help with addiction

[warm scarab]

I think once I accepted the fact that you only get about 10 pities a year and the fact you should have 100k for Anni and half Anni in case you want to pull all of the big 3 pairs, saving became way easier. Not saying I am resisting all temptation though. ||couldn't resist for CSerena before datamine since greninja is a fav||

[opaque cargo]

Yeah im trying to resist the seasonal banner. Sometimes character in cosplay is my weakness

[oak path]

Welp I did it the first bad decision I made in poma. I got nothing else to say but wow. Welp instead of seeing this as a loss I will see this as an opportunity to grow and learn how to control the urge to summon.

[cunning swan]

and we're so close to datamine too, you really should've at least waited

[oak path]

Wasn’t even aware of it

[lost bobcat]

Consider asking before pulling

Well now treasure this moment, bcs you're going to learn the hard way
How to proceed now? Back to saving with no compromises

Rememeber that if you're not backed by pity, you may run into that again

[oak crest]

Back to my pre-4th anni gem amt, 7 pities again

[sage ferry]

Wh-

Do you get those gems on like the anneverseary?

[feral vale]

No, that's from months of saving

[oak crest]

nah, took time to accumulate by skipping banners that I dont need/like

[sage ferry]

I thought It would take years just to get that amount

I’m at like 5k rn

Nah wait 6k

[crisp grotto]

You can garner a pity in around 1.5 months on average

[feral vale]

#1010223517565976737 Can also give ya an idea of what we were getting

[sage ferry]

So…

You know I feel insulted in some way

Shoulda joined on March

[upbeat lotus]

people have different start, dont worry about that

just focus on saving for now

[feral vale]

No matter the month, the saving is still the same

[oak crest]

well i started this game like after 2nd anni... so its being quite some time for me

[sage ferry]

Well I feel inferior now so that’s nice

[feral vale]

Uhhhh, we're saying there's no need to

[sage ferry]

Mhm

[feral vale]

My gem count had a hella rough last few months, I'm lucky to even be above pity again rn

[prime quarry]

I've been playing since day 1 and I've never had a full pity at any one time. I'm only just starting to save now. We all start somewhere

[sage ferry]

I couldn’t do that ever I got a 5* from a banner from a single pull

[oak crest]

uh dont do singles, it's not worth it

unless you are at 396/400 scout pts and you want to hit pity

[upbeat lotus]

you should read the spending advice in #poma-questions pins and this channel's pins

[sage ferry]

Still

If I could pull Annabel on my second account by a single then I’m convinced that I can do it with every other one

[rare swan]

You can't

[prime quarry]

You definitely can't. Successfully pulling on a random single happens extremely rarely

[feral vale]

Only happened to me once on a dumb whim, would not recommend.

[upbeat lotus]

this is a gacha game, you cant expect every single gives you the featured units

thats why we recommend saving and having a proper plan for spending

[feral vale]

Basically to get around the urge to gamble

[lean mango]

Gem count, it's been a while since I've done a proper one but I think I'll be able to get back to 100k again nice

[rare swan]

the 6figs are coming!

[lean mango]

need to prepare my Geeta funds ||or Glacia alt WHEN DENA WHEN||

[gloomy holly]

I'm 3/4 way 'til 1 pity

[radiant sapphire]

Finally got 4k

[violet nebula]

Shiny umbreon and vaporeon

Hope the rest of ypu are having some fun shiny luck

[tardy fiber]

100,655 gems with 500 gems still stuck in missions ... there's anabel gems too but i wont stress out myself for it

Ripe for datamine

[tardy fiber]

Still looking for shiny flareon and sylveon

[oak crest]

Btw ur faves can clear it

but it will be a long and drawn out battle (u need the rain mprs to really proc)

[vestal leaf]

You don't need rain MPR for that fight tbh

You need to kill Entei before third sync

[oak crest]

depends on the team

[vestal leaf]

Sun on entry

• Sun on each sync

That's 3 rain dances

[oak crest]

yea

[vestal leaf]

You don't need to cancel moltres sun

[oak crest]

(if you somehow failed to quad queue u can use the sun set by enemy sync to your advantage)

just need to ensure the weather goes away before the mid makes the next move

[vestal leaf]

Because you're using it after Entei first sync before you click rain dance

[oak crest]

[oak crest]

yeah

9+

[vestal leaf]

I was the first Ssleaf clearer here

NC leaf*

[oak crest]

think it was your post I saw

so I decided to try with vigilance leaf

[vestal leaf]

Mine didn't have it, I refuse to change ls for stages

[oak crest]

oh

i have too many cookies so idm

600+ on each regular 3* types

[vestal leaf]

I have 500

But it's a matter of statement

[oak crest]

ooh

for me I think using a few to get the gems is fine

not like I will have a sudden need for the cookies even if next month units are a pull to me

[gloomy holly]

The next lodge unit I level 100 will be my 20th overall and will give me 1k gems, I need that datamine tomorrow

[oak crest]

samee

[tardy fiber]

I only left interactions, i got all lodge guests other than adaman, irida

[winged fossil]

Decided to check my ex count. I’m at 67 exs apparently

3 passive sylveon can you stop coming if you aren’t shiny give one of the three missing ones a turn

[tardy fiber]

DeNa loves to give certain shiny to people, i think i already got 6 shiny umbreons

[ashen thunder]

I got shiny vaporeon, shiny espeon, regular espeon, jolteon and flareon

Missing all the limited locked setters

[tardy fiber]

Im all in at this eevee egg event because i have 0 shiny paldea starters

[grand bramble]

Hello guyz

It's been a while. Tomorrow, I think I'll pick up this game again

[hard wave]

Perfect timing we prob r getting datamine in 17 hrs

[hard wave]

Ive only gotten 2 shinies, both leafeon

I dont even have regular jolteon glaceon and sylveon

Tho im not rlly in need of any besides grassy terrain anyway

[tardy fiber]

Hope we get datamine news before maintenance, just like yugioh master duel...as soon as maintenance starts, there's already stuff to datamine

So people can digest stuffs before game starts

[hard wave]

I think we should get the trailer other the game icon tweet an hr after maint starts

[tardy fiber]

I hope there's faves in datamine, its 2 months of skipping stuffs..
Im drying up

[grand bramble]

I still loved this game to this day. Being absent for a long time make my mind refresh abit

[hard wave]

I hope there’s no more than 1 banner I want to go for I should end up w 12k w the current gem count || also the grass HSE banner is prob victor and ss acerola and I want both ||

[tardy fiber]

Oh true, sshau rerun on electric hse so the tapus are on the table

[oak crest]

nah

[hard wave]

He reran for gauntlet not HSE

[oak crest]

sshau rerun AFTER

[hard wave]

CElesa was for HSE

[oak crest]

dena be trolling much on that 1

[grand bramble]

Kinda missed this game too. I'm gonna start from where I left

[sage ferry]

Where that new unit at?

[tardy fiber]

Oh well at least tapu does rerun

[sage ferry]

TAPU

LIKE THE SYGNA SUITS

[grand bramble]

For returning player ...how many gems will I get?

[tardy fiber]

If you're new player... a lot

[sage ferry]

And a free 5*

[grand bramble]

lol what...I'm not a new-

[sage ferry]

On the 6th day

[tardy fiber]

Then not much

[grand bramble]

I been there since launch

[hard wave]

When was the last time u played

[grand bramble]

Like how much?

[grand bramble]

July I think

I missed all of the anniversary unit...it's kanto trio 2.0

[hard wave]

Of this yr? Maybe just raikou and registeel missions + gems from any events

[tardy fiber]

Anabel too

[grand bramble]

Yes...raikou and registeel

[hard wave]

Oh right

[tardy fiber]

Sprint and field training area

[grand bramble]

Anabel stage is permanent?

[tardy fiber]

Yes

[hard wave]

Yeah

[grand bramble]

I heard you only get 300 gems lol

[hard wave]

Yeah

[tardy fiber]

Yep that's why i said not much gems for returning players

[oak crest]

yeah

only 300

[tardy fiber]

New players still have a bunch of unexplored permanent content

[oak crest]

very few units can be used there for clearing

[hard wave]

Wasnt there some returning player thing in anni? Idr

[grand bramble]

Really?

I been thinking about that too

[hard wave]

Im not sure it mightve only been for a certain amnt of time

[upbeat lotus]

It is yeah

[tardy fiber]

Only on this time

[grand bramble]

where have I been during my absence from this game...I started playing honkai and I LOVIN IT
its gameplay pretty similar to this game...so that's probably why I want to return in this game again

[grand bramble]

Yes...that one

I see now...it is limited

[tardy fiber]

September 12

[grand bramble]

I won't be getting the returning player's treatment lol

[tardy fiber]

Quite a lot of gems

[grand bramble]

Oh...did I mention that tomorrow is my birthday??

Another good timing

[tardy fiber]

Happy birthday

[grand bramble]

Thanks....wow

What a journey

I was 17 when I first started this journey back in 2019

[grand bramble]

[tardy fiber]

I joined PoMa a year late, iirc on last few days of maxie Archie banner so i missed the delicious 5* candies given by DeNa

[grand bramble]

Oh...

Yes...I remember that

Do they still giving out free candies or probably downgrade version of coins

Nvm

[tardy fiber]

Cake coins

But nvm i love cake, as each pair only need 1 cake compared to candies where they need 2-4 candies

[tardy jolt]

Sooo, are we expecting a datamine tomorrow or Tuesday?

[oak crest]

most likely tmr

[maiden kayak]

oh i thought u quit?

[grand bramble]

Hey aqua!!!

Long time no see I think

No no...I was actually semi retired

I am planning to come back at some point

[maiden kayak]

oic ic

[crisp oracle]

you might get a returning player set of missions with a small extra gem injection

I got one for dropping this game for two months

oops I see that they have already covered that

[grand bramble]

Nah uh

It's fine...

[vernal glade]

I don’t remember if I did, I did dropped the game, then returned whenever they did an event for OG Blue where was a flying type event somewhere in…. February? I don’t remember.

So had to been like a month I stopped.

[tough oriole]

I should update this

[pure arrow]

my gem count as of today: 7,105
thank you Kalos EBEs and EX Siebold

[vernal glade]

I need to update mine also. Currently at 0 on my list.

[wise bison]

I feel like our gems decreasing. Did DeNa remove blissey event?

[vernal glade]

I would like that event to return.

[wise bison]

Blissful bonanza

[wise bison]

Same

[tough oriole]

Here it is
I’ve made a lot of progress, all thanks to saving! Now I won’t have to wait for as many new faves’ reruns

[hard wave]

I still have a decently large list atleast they are pokefairs so I hope for some good split banners in 2024, maybe ill finish it completely next yr?

[unkempt vortex]

And this is why I don’t make lists

[vernal glade]

Got my gems before maintenance begins in several hours.

[crisp grotto]

Impressive

[snow rose]

Mix scout have mercy on me

[sage ferry]

Help me

I’m having that urge to pull again

That scout button is tempting asf

[hard wave]

Close the game and also abt 8.5 hrs until datamine

[unkempt vortex]

Touch grass

[hard wave]

Oh yeah maintenance so 5.5 hrs

[prime quarry]

I've heard that using the pull simulator helps some people get out their desire to pull. That might help you too

[winged fossil]

Just spend your stamina and close the game for the day. It ain’t going anywhere. And don’t touch the shop button at all outside of at most claiming your daily gems in the gem purchase section

You have no reason to be in the scout screen for daily business anymore

If your itchy fingers are that bad maybe even consider skipping the gem claims since it’s just like 20/day 100/week, not huge deal if it leads you to saving better honestly

[fallen path]

Yeah like rhythm said. Just do something else

[feral vale]

And Daily Scout tbh

[sage ferry]

I need to figure out how it works tho-

[winged fossil]

Already covered daily scout basically with this but didn’t mention it by name.

[feral vale]

It’s in the #pull-simulator pins

[unkempt vortex]

It’s a lot of work for a sim tho

[winged fossil]

Most of the time I leave these three missions alone. Sometimes I do lodge interaction sometimes I feel lazy on it

The seven I do with skip tickets only takes like five minutes a day to do if that

[hard wave]

Oh yeah daily scout isnt needed for gems

I do everything besides level up a sync pair unless I get someone new to level up

Logging in and using stamina is smth id do anyway, I do the sync orbs stage, region rotation ofc for bp ticket and cake coin, daily scout y not plus I still am only at like 500 smth for big pearls I think , and I need stones from lodge cuz im trying to 5/5 my 3/4*s

[winged fossil]

I’m drowning in skip tickets at like 5500 and I don’t even bother grabbing the skip tickets from event shops

[unkempt vortex]

Everyone is

[hard wave]

I never grabbed them tbh

[unkempt vortex]

There’s nothing to do with the amount they give us

[hard wave]

Unless I just have extra vouchers, sometimes ill get skip tickets or tomes or smth

[unkempt vortex]

I’ve just been wasting them on the egg event just to lower my count

[hard wave]

I grab scout tickets, candy coins, 3 or 4 star candies, 4 or 5 star PUs, skill spheres and sync orbs, codexes, and the ++ drink pack

[unkempt vortex]

I just grind for 3* pu

[hard wave]

Idk if I should grab the I think great ++ pack? I could use more sprint and field drinks but I dont have anyone to use them on rn, 2 fields 1 sprint all 3 lvl 150

[unkempt vortex]

Maybe they’ll give ex to someone I still have at 3*

[hard wave]

Still trying to max out theme skills 20 left

[unkempt vortex]

At this rate tho we will never have everyone get an ex

[hard wave]

Yeah

[unkempt vortex]

At least up to like 3 a month

Is it really that hard

[hard wave]

I 5* anyone who gets an EX including lodge units, tho I think ill just start 5 starring my units when I get 20

[winged fossil]

I still grab the drink packs in most events cause I’m the type to literally lv140 everyone

[unkempt vortex]

Me waiting for Lucy ex

[hard wave]

Cuz I have a whole month to do the one that gets an EX, and only 20 units left to 5 star

Alr 5 starred quite a few that dont have EX as well so I could just end up saving PUs for a whole month besides the lodge pair

[hard wave]

I alr have everyone at lvl 140 luckily, I think I finished around may

I still grab codexes and ++ drinks tho for whenever I get a new unit

[winged fossil]

I’m really low on tech

Not having been able to instant 150 a Serena alt felt weird

[lost bobcat]

Better not, it's like 16k gems

[hard wave]

I think im good for the first 3 roles atm, could use some more drinks for sprint and field but since I dont want anyone of those roles rn its fine

[winged fossil]

Is it really that much from the gem shop specifically?

[hard wave]

Oh yeah, its also a different tab for the daily 20 gems, weekly 100, and 300 monthly

[winged fossil]

I’m not saying skip their daily missions

I mainly even recommended it cause touching the shop button puts them one click closer to staring at the banners

Which sounds like that persons problem

[lost bobcat]

Ye, It's
20 x 365
100 x 52
300 x 12

[unkempt vortex]

Skill issue

[winged fossil]

16k loss a year is still worth compared to them never seeing a pity in their lifetime

[lost bobcat]

I'm having hard time with techs
The free variety eevee and Eve are at 125 and 130 respectively
I really miss the rallies, I never farmed mats without of those running

[lost bobcat]

But it's a different menu

[winged fossil]

I never farmed mats with them running lol events were always better stamina value overall

[unkempt vortex]

Right

Like how are you spending gems on the buying gem tab

[hard wave]

I used to farm mats from them until I 140d everyone, then I just kept casually getting them from event shops and stuff

I hope I can finish theme skills next month I need 6k not including next month’s units

[winged fossil]

I mostly mean they have to enter the shop menu to get there. If their itchy finger is that bad then it might be worth them dodging the shop menu entirely to see if it helps

Which as I said puts them one step closer to banners

[lost bobcat]

The free daily pull is way more dangerous
I'm hating looking at the mix scout everytime I have to go for it oof

[winged fossil]

[hard wave]

Ugh same and im f2p and I dont want to spend

[winged fossil]

I don’t bother with daily scout mission unless I’m already on the scout screen for a fav that day

[hard wave]

Oh yeah 6,120 when valerie gets her theme skills back I have 300-400 smth rn but im waiting for datamine first

[winged fossil]

Even before mix scout I already had stopped touching the scout screen 95+% of days

[lost bobcat]

As for mats I'm d1 and sound weird, always cleared everything and never been low on mats
But for some reasion I miss the middle tiers tech maths

[hard wave]

D1?

[lost bobcat]

Low tier and higher tier are fine

Day1

[hard wave]

Oh

[winged fossil]

Ultra+ drinks and ++ drinks are almost always my bottlenecks

[hard wave]

++ was almost always the one stopping me I think, which is why its the drink pack I always exchange for

[lost bobcat]

The consumption of those is way unbalanced and we can't convert back items

December rally plz

[winged fossil]

I always prioritize ultra+ first in event shops for drinks

[hard wave]

We need gem rallies, blissful bonanza, special rally and training area boost, and legendary arena missions back and also less banners but maybe it just feels more bcz of variety, reruns, and lower gems

[winged fossil]

I mostly want rallies back for the extra 200 stamina a day and extra scout tickets lmao

I often find I don’t have enough stamina to fully empty events without that

[unkempt vortex]

You will take your rallies for skip tickets and you’ll like it

[lost bobcat]

Yeah! Need to burn more on feathers
Wonder if they get boosted aswell

[hard wave]

Wait they gave 200 extra stamina? Or do u mean the daily missions

[winged fossil]

Yeah you got extra 200 stamina a day during the training rallies

In daily gifts

[hard wave]

11 skill spheres per stage isnt great tbh but its alot better than 7

[hard wave]

I dont remember that for some reason

Only time I remember extra stamina is during anni

[winged fossil]

I remember it cause it always lead to me having a burst of 400 stamina on reset

Also cause it’s the only way I have ever reached the 999 stamina cap

Cause of the rare days I didn’t touch the game

That made it where like two days was already capped

[hard wave]

I dont see it in login bonuses or the missions in absol’s pastebin for july

[winged fossil]

I don’t think they did them anymore this year so it might’ve been purely a 2022 and earlier thing

[hard wave]

Oh

[winged fossil]

Just noticed I’m gonna get one of each of all the cakes in December

Second support cake and first of rest

Yet we still don’t have a sprint or field exr

Betting they’ll do first ones this month since we finally get a full set

[unkempt vortex]

Because they’d do nothing

Surely they’ll never make sprint and field ex role trust

[winged fossil]

If they were never gonna then they wouldn’t be giving them as cakes lol

I’ll be surprised if we still have none by January

Like genuinely surprised when we are forming them without a use

Still think it’s criminal that a bunch of supports got shafted with tech exrs

[hard wave]

We should get one for all

Im at 18 for tech sprint and field, didnt exchange for any coins using tickets or pull a unit who gives those coins

|| strike I exchanged for 5 with tickets and got 20 from pulling, support I got 10 with tickets and 4 from pulling, 3 for strike 12 for support ||

Oh yeah I think only one of our coins were from the rally, 17 thru region dailies

[winged fossil]

only reason im lower on support is cause i exr'd Zygarde already, unless dec has a new supp cake fav im exring the other serena next cause SerenaMAX dream

[sturdy flower]

good chance of datamine right

[winged fossil]

yeah like 90% chance comes with maintenance

[sturdy flower]

the only suprise would be if they not released a MF

[winged fossil]

10% chance the next day

[sturdy flower]

what time does the maint end?

[winged fossil]

check ingame mail, its sent for localized time, or check #game-announcements pins

[sturdy flower]

ah, it's just till reset

[winged fossil]

till hour after reset, actually

cause DST est reset is 1am

and it ends 2am for me

[sturdy flower]

summer time is over, i keep forgetting

[winged fossil]

(ofc like all gacha maints it can end sooner or later)

[robust plaza]

maintenance got me doing csmm earlier in the day than at like 10 pm est

[winged fossil]

im prob gonna have to shop for a new computer mouse next month since i think i missed black friday deals and my mouse left click switch is dying a bit on me

getting up to 4 inputs on one click is usually the early sign of a dying gaming mouse from my experience with corsair

[sturdy flower]

you could try fixing it yourself

[winged fossil]

shiny Espeon acquired... why does it have to be the eeveelution that i prefer non-shiny look of?

at least im only missing Jolteon now

also noticed im over a month ahead in mystery stones now, since i spent a few days earlier this month farming feathers

im at like 160 something stones iirc, already closed the game for till after maint was only opening it to do eggs since got notification

[vernal glade]

Wait, there’s egg notifications if the games closed?

[unkempt vortex]

The only time the game gives notifications

But not for stamina

[vernal glade]

Let me check my settings.

[vernal glade]

Reminder to claim your gems as in 56 minutes the game will go down for maintenance. Which will make it impossible to collect your daily gems as it’ll reopen an hour after reset.

[tardy fiber]

If its really datamine during maintenance, i would love it if they repeat this notice...i kinda like when i know when the datamine will happen at the end of the month instead of a surprise like before

I should send feedback

[hard wave]

I think rallies tell us when we get them

Since its usually the start of next update, may be wrong

[sage ferry]

Is there gonna be any details for the datamine??

Like what units n stuff

[bleak falcon]

We don’t know

Datamine might be tonight, it might not

Once it drops we’ll have a full list of December’s new pairs and reruns

But we don’t know when it drops

[winged fossil]

#datamines channel will be posted in when it happens.

[timber wren]

if it happens tonight it would normally be in 2.5 hours but who knows with how the maintenance is going

[winged fossil]

Also be sure to keep an eye on the games twitter, usually they’d post something around an hour or two ahead of an update although not always

If we do get a trailer tho then it’d be like 95%+ chance of datamine that night

[uneven pewter]

Whelp Ive done pretty well for myself

28k saved

[versed flame]

got my first shiny eevee (jolteon) just before maintenance :D

[uneven pewter]

Oh maintenance tonight?

Ceap

[versed flame]

it's already started

[uneven pewter]

Bah

Guess I’ll miss champ stadium

Unless it ends early

It’s been a really busy week

[versed flame]

oof yeah i speedran it this morning

it's alright just one week

[hard wave]

Maint ends an hr after reset

[uneven pewter]

Boo

[feral vale]

Close to a pity is not bad :0

[opaque cargo]

Finish cs in 10 minutes

[gloomy holly]

Maintenance tho

[feral vale]

If it wasn’t maintenance, I would also correct by saying 5 min

[opaque cargo]

The cs is rather ez. I hate sinnoh cs tho

[crisp grotto]

Well this is Kanto, it's the easiest

[feral vale]

No one can do it in 5-10 min tho

[crisp grotto]

Hmm I think you could if you know what you're doing and have got broken units

Hi Chezei

[feral vale]

In Hard Mode, maybe.

[crisp grotto]

Maybe next week's theme should be last 5 minute 15k run

[prime quarry]

Don't tempt me now

[fallen path]

[opaque cargo]

I got plenty broken unit. Tho i mostly use weakness unit in cs

Kanto is the easiest

[uneven pewter]

I mean the point was i just wasn’t expecting the maintenance tbh

Not a big deal save for the coin

But it is what it is

[tardy fiber]

Man, i kinda worried how it would be to 15k hard cs region...iirc one of the region's rock weak cs is kinda tough because it favors special rock damage which is cblue, hope my regirock + 2 diancies can still bruteforce it later for 15k

[sturdy flower]

they can

or if you have Steven just use his lodge self

[tardy fiber]

I dont think any or my unreleased rock faves are special damage... Terrakion probably physical, stakataka too

[tardy fiber]

Not a fave

[sturdy flower]

he syncs for 50k 2nd sync

[tardy fiber]

Not legendary, mythical, UB, paradox

[ashen thunder]

just bruteforce with ontype or use your articuno
Always works

[upbeat lotus]

What if i had skill issue

[sturdy flower]

2 diancies should hit enough anyways

[ashen thunder]

Solo with ball guy

[tardy fiber]

Oh nihilego could be special rock, i dont mind now that the loyal three are poisons so DeNa can make nihilego a rock type no problem

[sturdy flower]

work on it instead of sidestepping

[tardy fiber]

I got this for anabel, i tried 10 times yesterday yet still lose even though i got the pairs that they posted so i plan to not stress myself out and forget its existence again

Its only 300 gems

[sturdy flower]

wonder if they will throw us a paldea bone for the dlc release

[tardy fiber]

Dont worth my hair loss

[tardy fiber]

Hope so, there's fighting weak so koraidon is on the table oh dragon weak too

[sturdy flower]

or neo champion

or mystery of mystery stone

or another cynthia

[tardy fiber]

I wonder if they will make koraidon a field but with sprint cake role, and miraido a sprint but with field cake role...just in time for those cakes to be formed

[violet nebula]

Lots of variety fairs

[sturdy flower]

i kinda want neo champion hoenn

[ashen thunder]

I just want free Rolex on legendaries and new free paldea legendary

[tardy fiber]

Me too, it probably be primals

[ashen thunder]

Dont have much hopes on anything else

[sturdy flower]

like the watch...?

[ashen thunder]

Coz I know every paldea unit gonna be limited for a while

[tardy fiber]

True bring back legendary adventures, i love to at least get 1 paldea pair for free

It helps for daily region battle

But cannot do daily region battle yet till we get paldea spotlights, just release 2 pairs and it will be like kalos ticket pool for a loooong time

Only having clemont and serena

[violet nebula]

No

We need to be bled of gems😆

And they need less work with ex colours

[tardy fiber]

The only gems i spent this month is the egg passes for eevee yet there's no shiny flareon and sylveon, dang it DeNa, i literally paid

[ashen thunder]

I got 2nd flareon and still no limited locked zone eevees for me

[tardy fiber]

Give me flareon luck, and i will give you umbreon luck

I got 6 shiny umbreons

[ashen thunder]

oh

I meant non shiny

Only shiny I got are espeon and vaporeon

[tardy fiber]

Oh i already completed non shiny

I even keep dupes now just like magikarp dupes just because shiny eevees with different sync moves are kinda cool

Hope they rerun tyrogue egg event

I kinda like hitmon line

[oak crest]

i kept getting 1/2 passives eevee 🤮

[ashen thunder]

I just burn all 1/2 passive eevees

3 passive or 🚮

[oak crest]

yea

[tardy fiber]

Maintenance almost end maybe i could read a comic to give me timeskip

[oak crest]

I'm just playing GTA online to pass time atm

[ashen thunder]

2 minutes till server crashes due to traffic

[sage ferry]

ITS TIME

[sturdy flower]

the mail icon doesn't work for me

no datamine

[versed flame]

yup broken mail for me too

[tardy fiber]

Seeing that we can still buy gems using real money, so probably not related to EOS

Games that EOS will close real money purchases

[sturdy flower]

no new news

[tardy fiber]

Got 300 apologems

Present

[sturdy flower]

i think they will only eos if there's a sequel tbh

[tardy fiber]

Hope they do more maintenance if it gives 300 gems each time

[versed flame]

extended and unplanned maintenances for even more gems

[winged fossil]

ill take the extra 300 gems today but i still feel betrayed by no datamine when we had to sit through maint, not even an explanation of the maint itself

[tardy fiber]

Not even an explanation about the 300 gems too

[winged fossil]

yeah, for all we know the 300 gems could be something completely different
like "oh heres this finally for reis grid" or something lmao

or for some obscure bug

[rare swan]

Nah they're for maintenance

They gave out 300 gems the last time they did maintenance

[winged fossil]

One single for five hours ok then

Better than skip tickets or something

[crisp grotto]

I mean most games have maintenance a lot more often, idt it's too big of a deal tbh. They announced it early too

[upbeat lotus]

we demand 36.6k gems for 1 hour late of daily reset

[sage ferry]

I’m making a reroll account

I failed to save my gems and I got shafted

Now I’m left with 1k

[rare swan]

I'd wait until datamine

New, cracked pairs can/will be coming

[violet nebula]

New variety cracked pairs you mean🤣

[wind nymph]

I made it to my second pity on day 20. It's a long way up to the next one, but I'll make sure this one counts

I finally made it, no more YOLO pulls

[rare swan]

Well done, the first is the hardest!!

[winged fossil]

Not too much of a gem update but, I’m ready for datamine when it comes.

Still working toward the 10k paid total for new years too

I think I’m hoping for ssbrendan + whatever else of interest, assuming ssbrendan doesn’t get slapped on same select banner as someone of higher priority, if they even repeat him in ny

[radiant sapphire]

Because of no datamine i wanna summon on scout red but i DONT WANNA SPEND BUT I ALSO WANNA IDK WHAT TONDO

[prime quarry]

Datamine is almost certainly before next reset! Hold strong!

[radiant sapphire]

what if it's not

[wind nymph]

It's always between the 25th and 29th of every month. Just hold your horses, people are working on it right now!

[cunning swan]

we literally have no other upcoming content, so.... Soon ™️

[tardy fiber]

Second Kalos VA EBE next reset

[oak crest]

your NC Leaf, SSKris and NCblue are all 3/5 right?

if you like ebe u can try that team on Anabel's stage

altho you might need to adjust their lucky skills

[winged fossil]

Joltegg acquired but it’s a 1bar. Least I have the full set, and think jolteon is only non 3p atm

[tardy fiber]

Yep but i tried and failed 10 times yesterday so i just accept that its skill issue and dont want to stress myself out

Not like its a must to clear

[rare swan]

don't do it to the point you're upset/frustrated, yeah

it's just 300 gems

[tardy fiber]

I forgot what i used to clear second kalos VA EBE before ...maybe its sycasaur

Its poison weak right?

[rare swan]

yup

[oak crest]

yea

[rare swan]

built for Emma

[tardy fiber]

Probably him

[oak crest]

needed poison or status to remove the dmg-reducing passive also

[tardy fiber]

The only EBE that i have problem before this is adaman EBE, although i can clear it but i hate the idea of having to make damage build Dawn

[oak crest]

ngl its abit tricky to quad queue sometimes for that battle

[tardy fiber]

Hope Palmer can carry if adaman EBE reruns

[oak crest]

need to change weather as well

altho i cant remember what was the weather that the opponent team brings

its either rain or ss

[rare swan]

Time for a pre-datamine gem check-in

[oak crest]

cant remember

[rare swan]

damn that's huge on desktop. anyway

wanted to catch the 230k but i overshot. hopefully there will be something for me to spend them on next month

[oak crest]

(Resource wasting Support [Gem spend])

[tardy fiber]

pog enough for AZ Master Fair on December

[rare swan]

unfortunately it's probably going to be Unova and if Bianca is nowhere to be zeen I will be saving gems yet again

[oak crest]

inb4 Nate gets nth again

[maiden kayak]

oh wait

i forgot

[tardy fiber]

Eternal floette will be my honorary fave...well a non legendary, mythical, UB, paradox paradox that i will treat like a fave cmon DeNa

[maiden kayak]

bianca hasnt gotten an alt

[oak crest]

yea

[rare swan]

she has NOT

[maiden kayak]

i think she might be xmas alt

[rare swan]

all this unova favouritism and my one fave from that region gets nothing

[oak crest]

she's 1 of the rare female main chars/rivals to not get alts

(Selene was also 1 of them until this month)

[tardy fiber]

Lodge Cheren soon, he is the only story 5* pair that not yet becomes lodge guest

[maiden kayak]

find it hard for her to have mf ngl

[oak crest]

altho Variety

[maiden kayak]

oh fck variety

[rare swan]

surely she could get NC

they seem to be going for rivals

[tardy fiber]

Iron bundle for Christmas, its about time to give more paldea stuff seeing that indigo disk release on December

[tardy fiber]

So Gladion Alola NC later

[timber wren]

roll call

[rare swan]

[gloomy holly]

I'm at 28k gems now

[oak crest]

wow my luck is just bad

another batch of useless eevees

none of them are 3*

[cunning swan]

I miss having six figures

[radiant sapphire]

How do you guys have so much self control

[oak crest]

normally its the hardest to get to the first pity, but once you hit your first pity, it will get easier

also the longer u play, the bigger your roster will be, so it will be easier to skip units

[lost bobcat]

Said before, (1) or (3) passives doesn't change much for them
Always keep one of each at least

So don't worry abt it too much

[lost bobcat]

For me
Pokefairs can rerun-> skip
Seasonal always join select scouts-> skip
Anything will be powercrept in the future -> think thrice before pulling

I even had enough of mfairs (that were my main target)
Fav are always the best choice

[cunning swan]

i avoid the scout page like a plague and reach my daily scout by swiping left on the small thumbnail on the pokecenter

[neon marsh]

me too

I only have 36k gems tho

[uneven pewter]

Aqua you never cease to amaze me.

Although you’re habits are probably one of many factors for why they put in the new limited banners

[maiden kayak]

lol they shouldnt even take me as a benchmark as i have specific tastes unlike the majority

[vestal leaf]

What will you even use 28k paid on

[languid quail]

Select banners they missed/ were slightly interested in

[radiant sapphire]

Im playing since before first anni and i still have the urge to pull everything even if it does not benefit me

[wind nymph]

Well in that case you could reach out to the +scout command in the bot zone to see which unit is the best of the best to pull that month, so you don't get tempted for other units despite they looking good

[crisp oracle]

Even if a unit is good doesn't mean you should pull it

[feral vale]

No must haves, we say.

[sage ferry]

Pull for who you like, not for meta.

[uneven pewter]

I mean

Roxy was tempting

But I managed to resist

[feral vale]

I skipped her hella easily lmao

[rare swan]

Goddamn!!

[unique ivy]

It’s finally time My second ever saving grind

[vernal glade]

Same.

[pure arrow]

I… did not

[tardy fiber]

Hope datamine is today, i will feel devastated if there's nothing like yesterday's maintenance

[unkempt vortex]

It’s not happening today

[tardy fiber]

One of the things that help me resist non faves is to think about unreleased faves typings, like skipping roxie in favor of unreleased raikou, xurkitree, zeraora

[rare swan]

It would be nice if it was today I must say

[hard wave]

Roxie is more poison tho

Its weird, piers is electric but better for poison zone and roxie is poison but better for electric terrain

[bleak falcon]

They’re designed to be like the Greninjas where they complement each other

[tardy fiber]

Also good for highscore i guess not like the enemies are weak to featured HS type so mixed attackers have advantage

[grim plover]

i skipped fall iris and that help me wait until piers who's way better for poison than her

[hard wave]

Yeah I wanted firis but I dont want to touch those rerun banners I like naganadel but im glad I got the toxtricities

[tardy fiber]

Iirc Oleana also is better than falliris

Well at least she's a fave for me due to naganadel
