I hope i get another poison fave dps and then i can change my fall iris to be more utility with acid mind games
Im glad my poison and bug r better now tho, just need a good rock striker now
|| bug zone and steel zone would be nice too ||
Oh yeah another one of her problems is she doesnt have good partners
and w mind games roxie and koga do that alr and besides plumeria idt we have other special poison
Im hopium for nihilego, Okidogi, Munkidori, Fezandipity to be poison 
So that i can kick gladion from my poison team
Buying stamina jumpscare 
There are other places you can show your gems without giving everyone a heart attack
I ain’t dumb ya know that
I used to buy stamina when i just started, but at that time story quests also uses stamina
and im getting gems to pull maxie and archie
But who doesn’t? 
Do you
Duh
Apologies for the sudden outburst
Just an FYI that spending of any kind - including on stamina - isn't permitted to be discussed here
We prefer to keep this thread dedicated to saving of resources only
You tell me this now than later…
You're not in trouble, I'm just letting you know
We have #gacha-and-flex if you'd like to show off
There's more info about this channel and its rules in the pins
A reminder to get your steel gear now
There’s gems there also
Let me double check my steel gear levels, would stink if they still not yet maxed and i will have to farm at EX plaza
Ok all maxed 
Mines max and locked
Only bug and normal 3* gears left 
Kind of hoping bug gear next month due to the bug weak but I doubt it
Lusamine Power Boost with Bug Gear next month would be awesome
And add her to lodge 
Weren’t we getting type gears every two months?
Tbh I kind of think we could get alola NCs cuz lillie and gladion dont have an alt photo but all unova lodge units have one
inb4 one of the unova NCs joins lodge and gets an alt photo too
Yeah I think ice gear was the only exception
Tho that was prob for ice stadium, we could get calem stadium which should be bug weak 
I could see bug gear in January.
Yeah if not next month then january ig
Still hope its next month w calem stadium tho
I hope they havent abandoned those
Also excited for new rainbow feathers, im making a collection of those 
Im not sure abt the schedule;
Grass- april
Ice- june
Fire and psychic- september (tho fire was like 8/30)
Not gonna dwell much on skill gears other than rainbow feathers
Im just storing the feathers for now tbh
I have one set that I just used 1 yellow feather on and left it
if we can lock all 3 lines of stats the rb feathers are the best for themes
I would go hard on feathers rng if they allow us to spend ever pin on everything but nah, only 1 lock on themes and effects 
So i just gonna focus on rainbow feathers now
i just buy and keep them
u never know when dena decides to allow us to lock all the stats

Guaranteed 3 nice themes, nice effects and stats similar to 3* gears
Yep thats why i keep the green, yellow feathers and ever pins
Oh i use the rainbows because its a nice boost for ontype gears ...well those critastrophe 2% might help
2 of my equips ended up helping for Anabel's
since they have more stats than the regular gear and the themes just happen to help all 3 of the chars
Also i like that i can name my rainbow gears to rei, akari, and etc, it gives some nostalgia points...cannot wait for the event to rerun and then i can do it on second gear part 
this just might be a skip month thank goodness
Same
Hdyk?
Unless N shows up I might finally have a skip month on mfs
i'll skip the nate
Zerena's enough ig
Although the criteria for nc being what it is has me bracing for fav jumpscare 
|| nate is kind of tempting but ill see, I have 3/5 flyhan and zerena and 1/5 bt leon and ss cynthia for limiteds, I want him but I have enough dragon types
zerena was rerun too so I got both her and leon recently ||
||I’m sure the Nate simps are happy tho||
It seems like its just one tbh
#poma-lounge message
Also this
Solo nc would be suspicious to me
but dena likes their surprises I suppose
Same here.
It’d be nice
hopefully there isnt any other new units that’ll tempt me and a good gem count
I also have to brace for whatever Xmas has in store. That should be this mine right
It's just one pair besties, plenty more to come in the mine
Yeah
but congrats to the Nate enjoyers
||Hoping for Aura Cynthia rerun||
Last yr was ss leaf, 2nd anni, and hol pairs for reruns so im curious what reruns we’ll get
Same
Oh lodge banner ofc
If it is a dry next two month for me same here. But only if dec and Jan both dead favs
Maybe they're doing like ssLusa ssrCynthia
Hol rerun and sst red and ssa cynthia I assume, but what new and old PFs will we get?
17 min
|| volo
||
I think my Volo prediction is already out the window if they aren’t putting it in trailer
Why would they put it in
Anyway, I’ll come back in 15 minutes.
I’ll prob be back around reset time ish, to avoid bringing up the new units in a channel meant for saving.prob will chill in lounge and dms with my friends while datamine comes in
Welp, it's time y'all
Easy skip for me
Hope there's lodge nate ..i gonna skip ncnate, but i would love for a lodge nate 
lodge cheren 
Back.
Plz no Jasmine alt I wanna save 
she's only getting lodge soo
Dawn got lodge at the beginning of the year and came with a seasonal outfit
We don't know all the details yet
Oh goddammit I wish I had double pity
none of them feel appealing to me 🧍♂️
Declaring it a skip.
time to skip
Same
Time to continue waiting for my fave.
Only 1 fave, quite nice for my 100k gems savings 
More gems to carry to January
Goodluck Tai, 2 faves for you
Tai christmas
Kalos Xmas
The correct answer 
rosa I'm coming for you
Only 1 fave for me, quite nice ...1 fave within 3 months, nice distribution DeNa, i could save more 
I was prepared for this datamine but a skip month is nice to have
no faves for me
waiting for arven 🧍♂️
Now I am just praying no support MFs coz support MFs hard to skip
Oh right galar egg, maybe i should spend to get egg passes 
At this point I think it's Volo 4.5 anniversary

his foreshadowing came true, he was like if i dont get kalos unit on the next mine im gonna go nuts or smth

and he got awarded with 2
Or Paldea 
Seasonals last two weeks and NCs last a month right?
yea NCs should last at least 1 mth
yeah i think?
Usually 1 month for MF and roughly 3 weeks for seasonals
Thanks
if Thorton's weakness is fire its gonna be fun 
Oh well they tried to fool us with just Nate trailer, it was quite sus not having two mfairs
Same.
im glad it wasnt solo lol
Nate is dps
Easiest skip ever 
I like the outfit, that's my weakness 
||Rosa and Nate used to be faves for me, but decided to skip them since I’m waiting for hisui form Zoroark instead.||
The drip is my kriptonite
Let's remember not to go too into the new units here
Bug gear
now my Lusamine will be tankier
Nah, she still dies in 1 hit
They had to give bug gears after 3k CS MM

now Noland can put bigger numbers atleast
Just run skill gears, 50 def/spdef ez
2 hits, she got endurance 
but endurance get bypassed by sync 
Probably gonna make my co-op team now.
Just saying though
ngl
I am happy for all the nate fans
||Rosa MF on 25th December||
why a huge gap
The patience has paid off hopefully
I’m happy this a skip month.
if u have not done so last month
Haven’t even looked at the kits
I mean
i'm a clown
luckily the banners are placed near the next datamine
Yep
so impulse pulls can be prevented
Well this already looks like a skip month easily. Especially when looks like no mf rerun this month lmao
Which means easy saving till then
just need to endure few days since the datamine is early on dec
Nate on 30 November and Rosa on 25 December. 

So 2 separate event or something?
no idea
That's weird
dena being sus af by splitting them apart
Looks like separate event for Rosa in pastebin
I think they wanted to try something different from the NC events last year because it's the one-year anniversary of NCs
Well i guess more gems
Is the Christmas event happening first then they’re doing the NCs?
||nate first then Xmas then rosa||
How odd
Viola on 12th and sycamore 14th
I see unit here
grey area since op never mention name
What do they even call Xmas alts? Holiday? I’m trying to look up the past ones to triple check that they’re all skips
Yep holiday
New year, palentine, spring, fall, holiday
Thx
this dec is proabably the last month u can save with ease
the next few months is gonna be brutal
I already saved on october, November with ease 
Weather the storm, my brothers. Winter is coming.
2 skip months
same, already recovered back to pre-4th anni gem amts 
🤝
I’m still bamboozled by greninja icon but thankfully doesn’t seem to be related to new units
Well i guess i got lodge jasmine to humour me while waiting
that month was probably 1 of my biggest spendings, i went for 5 units lol
Hello guyz... Im finally back
Welcome back
hi
They probably trying to make a nate icon probably. Probably a substitute.
Yes, huzzah for Lodge Jasmine. I was actually hoping she’d get lodge one day
Sorry that I wasn't around during my birthday... Too busy prep stuff
Right no reason for not nate icon, he is release early...why frog icon? 
At first... When I saw the icon, I instantly thought of someone... But then no.... Why am I high on copium sometimes lol
There's nothing much to say about this datamine
This warps up 2023
Happybirthday!
Because celebration of the first NCs last year

Oh right there's no MF rerun to replace ncserena?
Thanks.... ||congrats to you||
Yeah happy bday to you man
Thx
it will be Rosa
||yes||
y they make it this way is odd af tho
Oh so in a month without new MF, they will rerun the old ones
It’s odd cause they did reruns even with new ones before. ||Rosa just being a little trolling gremlin.||
My hopium thinking that separating nate and rosa gives more gems, probably the answer they found after deleting bonanza and stamina rally

Because 2 separate events
Rosa stays so long, makes it much easier to wait out and see
This year... We got some many upside and some downside
The downside are way too many recourses, limited, low gem count, paywalled unit
u can think of it as a lazy way for devs tho, since they literally split 1 event into 2 
They adding another ultimate battle
so another 300 gems that will be stuck in limbo
Still better than pokewar sc though where there's only 1 event and they timegated content to unlock every week 
1 event for whole month

At least, one of my fave appeared this year.... Which is red... But at that point, Im already done
I just came back to play for fun.. collecting stuff and clearing content which is what I'll do in the future
But I will remember to always come visit here whenever I have an urge of pulling
pretty sure this should be spoilered, this is resource saving chat
we don't talk about pulling here.
Ok I will quit. Thx
I think i can complete 5* all non eggmon pairs this month, finally
finally after years of playing
to answer the gem related question, should get minimal the amount you asked about, prob more. we'll know in a day or two prob the gem count, give or take a while.
average gemcount lately has been like 24k ish
and dec tends to be a higher count month
Hopefully there's more gems, like there's
2 unova NC events
2 holiday (1 rerun)
There's alola VA rerun too, if they rerun EBE there will be more gems...so like 4 EBEs hopefully 
personally im predicting higher end of the 20s, like 27-29k, but im no expert on gem counting.
if theyre generous itll be in the 30ks
There's special cs too this month
Woah don’t get wild on us
So 700 gems?
That’s crazy talk
I should say..... Umm around 27k
should be a LG too this month unless we're for some reason dropping that event this month, although that isnt a gem source iirc
I wont mind 27k, way better than 23270 this month
Wait its 23570 because maintenance apologems
apparently this months cs is alola...how hard would you say alola was relative to the other cs regions, vanter?
I forgot how hard it is but if its too hard, i wont chase 15k ...just gonna do old 12.5k cs
I was aware yesterday maintenance.... And unfortunately there is no update... just one day ahead from my birthday lol
But man seeing this datamine, i guess 3/5 registeel plan will be much later...||as there's support MF fave and MF > BP for candy priority for me|| 
Is the candy coins count getting lower?
Well... It'll takes a while to get ONE of them
Yep total is way more, especially thanks to mysterious stones
I think i will skip buying egg passes for galar starter egg, i did it for eevee because they have a bunch of limited WTZ. It feels too expensive to spend 1k paid for galar starters
I guess more gems saved for me then
and the most they will bring is prob sun/rain and grassy terrain
True
for grass yeah will be useful
the other 2? nah not rly
fire and water hse is history
well... Let's talk about the upside this year
The upside are more content, more difficult and challenges, some character from DLC make their debut and lastly many people came to this tread 
But like there's a lot of grass now isnt it... sprigatito and leafeon
yeah 2 of em
The biggest thing i like this year are the role cake and characters that have 0 alt finally getting alts
Role cake is good because each pair only need 1
Eevees are a total of 8 but all tech
Galar are 3 x 3 roles
i have yet to get a leafeon from the eevee eggmon stuff
pls game
The role cake and gear stuff are confusing for me.... Especially the passive name changing... ugh
besides terrain setters, i dont really care abt striker/tech eggmons
support might be worth bothering if their TM can max out speed
Skill gear is just RNG fest
Are all potioners
Just LG stuff
yeah
But their low stats though hardly balanced out their advantage...i hope they release affinity level 4 cakes or something, more stats will be nice if eggmon grids are so hard to be implemented
i do use eggmon speed buffers for LG since u will eventually run out of those units that buff speed
What do you guyz expect for next year??? Increase gems count?? More recourses?? More candy??
More faves??
Paldea stuffs
Hoping that I’ll save for months.
i have like 4 paldea faves
next year will not be kind to me
Hey... Finally you got a fave.... ||who is it? ||
mon faves are not that common to appear for me anw also
There's already SV icon in this datamine...well region field passive icon that have SV color
||meloetta
||
Yeah... Paldea... And don't forget hisui too
I kinda lack interest on Hisui after DeNa treat them as Sinnoh, i like more if they separate them
It's good for you to have all of your faves collected if it wasn't for this thread... Right?
Now probably less sinnoh character will get alt
if they separate them the EBE back then would be unclearable
since they literally just up and release an EBE when there is only 2 hisui units 
They should release them in the masses slowly like Paldea 
yea
With 0 region tag
Same
Wait... We still got many galarians missing
klara
And lastly peony
Avery
Mustard also missing
Only the hisui and let's go
They count as DLC right
Honey also.
actually was referring to Sword/Shield DLC chars
Give honey a gmax saur, well because the premium red didn't have it 
idk about the other 2 if they have DLCs
Not yet
I just noticed something good in this datamine, there's no Variety 
Wait... No special costume too?
Well aint SC usually on November
I mean, closest we got is the dojo outfit which is dlc only which is Gloria and Urshifu so ya.
Not usually, but pokewar was
April was SC
They deleted spring pairs and changed them to SC pairs...spring costume 
Lodge jasmine with magnemite, thanks DeNa ...i like to wreak havoc with small cute pokemons 
Like joltik, fletchling, fennekin
Last year lots of gems, two years ago just average
Hoping this Christmas there’s a lot

All I want for Christmas is gems
We know we getting an EBE for Christmas, so more gems on that day.
More gems are nice especially when half anni aint that far away
And who knows, it might be trio MF again
I really hope there is a good gem month.
Iirc they give us free 3k gems on new year, well it might be inside January datamine instead
I need to save paid gems and free gems
I NEED to do it i gotta resist the temptation to pull anything
Even tho i dont particularly want anything except some old holiday pair
Resist it till run up for half anni, DeNa will give free 100 pulls to release the itch
that's not the same satisfaction
Goodluck...seasonal rerun banner is horrendous
I think the rates now are worse than rocket banner 
Wait there's no select ?
there might be a select on 5th anni
if you are willing to wait
ik im gonna select viola when they drop seasonal selects
Yep aint half anni got seasonal select too last year
3.5 doesnt have it i remember
Selects are in New Year
Oh so only normal fair select?
New year only have PF and its 5k each 
since they would prefer ppl spending 10k or 20k(for new pairs) on the tiered scouts
Because its one of the best as we can choose from any seasonal 
Not like PF select where like choose 1 of these 5 PF choices
yeah
Seasonal select is great
Btw, why is Greninja in the icon? Lol, so random. Fo Serena?
A Glimmering Night of Gifts

Day 1: 💎 Gems x3000

I guess they see the new faces as too unpopular lol. They’ll probably put Rosa closer to her release
That bump out the gem count for sure
full login bonus list
https://pastebin.com/PGhMRcFd
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
6k200 gems from the login bonus
Need to get up to 34k 
Tbh, in terms of banner this feels like a very tame month? They are basically matching last year and substituting the 2021 MFs rerun with the two triple PFs scouts
Pretty balanced, I guess we should brace ourselves for an intense NY lol
yeah it's actually pretty light on the banners which surprised me 🤔
though i personally am a ||unova|| fan so it's going to be a gem drain
Yes, basically 2 mf and 2 seasonals
Kinda 
But in the end seems in line with the last year
Btw, with these new seasonals, they are on a streak of first alts. I wonder if they’ll keep it up for NY, those also have quite the track record, even if we tend to often get a very popular character
Well, must be prepared, the December to March streak is the death zone for savers
well this time dec is relatively easy to save imo
Masterfairs are masterfairs
Just like last year, with maybe a bit more unpopular seasonals? Jasmine was a very anticipated unit
Im a ||unova|| hater so it's really easy to skip
Not that it mattered for me, but comparatively this year might be a bit easier, considering that the reruns are also concentrated in the best banners that we have, the triple fair
I think i'll do the holiday tiered scout but im not even sure if i do it
In general a good month for stacking up gems, if the gems count is good like last time
Just wait for the Anni selects smh
Jasmine and Whitney were really good both as pair and design
And the two frongs with their type gimmick, bmove were also huge
Yeah, this year is way more tame in comparison
But we still have the gimmicky new MFs
Only 1 fave so i like this month 
As always December is a juicy appetizer for the big banners season
Wonder if they'll slow down the first psrt of the year, bcs mix banner refresh
Finally they are toning down the mythical sand UB, glad to see regular mins back lol
At least now that VA is out of the way, i feel more at ease for legendaries, mythicals release...they probably wont come out in droves often
NY they need to go ham, it’s where big spending happens
So missing unova faves for me are terrakion, thundurus, Virizion...well Virizion might go to Morgan
Then we have Plentines and then Half Anni, they’ll go hard
Landorus?
Oh right Magearna might release on Palentine 
Sinnoh still got a bunch, manaphy, phione, arceus, enamorus, azelf, uxie, heatran
Oh right, my dream comes true ||finally there's a unova support fave
||
30K gems?
I love it, its kinda tame...no variety lazy alts, also looks like there's more gems
I will love it more if the EBE is easy
Ebe ez with the featured pairs. Learnt not to wreck my brains trying to beat everytime
Ur name makes me wonder about it tho
I probably EX Iris, iirc she is my only unova dragon
I collect legendaries, mythicals, UBs, paradoxes
I just ex claire just to see her ex outfit
Maybe ill ex fantina to see what her ex dress color
I kinda like it, because there's not even any yellow shade on mismagius and suddenly DeNa gives her Yellow EX
Just like Sabrina, suddenly Mewtwo color
You know you can see the color without ex them right
I also love sabrina ex color
Really? Well i just want to ex them just to see in lobby
Plus i think i need to ex fantina to beat 3k ghost cs
Oh right, purple shirt MC on December's poma day?
Reference for Iono’s teratype ace /s
Oh man i was hoping the gloves also yellow color and her hair too
Oh yeah, finally a slightly harder CS for the 3k run
Paldea soon, i wonder if the gym leaders will be paired with their tera type pokemons
...iono mismagius and brasius sudowoodo
I’d expect their Paldea Pokémon to show up tbh
Oh dang tera zard, better ready my gem
Ioni for example is with bellybolt in all her merch
Sorry rosa, i have new goals
y'all this is a good lesson. 1) be careful what you wish for and 2) faves can appear at any time, which is why we save

Hope for a nice gem count 
i have learned the hard way multiple times 
Sycamore mugged Ramos to get his first alt 
we hitting 30k gems for this december? D:?
Nate, Nate my boy, finally gettng his time to shine
Will they release a support with field
role?
Someday ™️
The answer is never
So now the new meme will be Selene and Elio i guess, because they have alt but its only variety
...nate winning 
someday is a day in 3001
Wrong Lucas too
Oh right Lucas 
Just like ||Kukui and Masked Royale|| looks similar but different 
DeNa allows duplicate trainers in a single team just to help him
Really ? 💔
Woah that's quick??
i'll wait for Tlim's assessement too
Take on a serious Nate 😭
I miss the blisseys
nate coming for revenge after seeing all the memes passed around the last 3-4 years
ohhh i think this is excluding xmas gems
He got tired of even Nate meme
So our gem count is 26k this month?
Yes, according to shiro's chart
Nice
Im still waiting for Tlim's one
So i can pity sycamore and have 10k for jan
Not Barry tho
Good amount of gem tbh
Barry can go THUD himself
Why
Oh man SS Korrina keeps rerunning in the worst time. Gonna have to skip her AGAIN
this is her first rerun for unpaid gems actually
yup
🔘 <t:1657951200:D>
💰 (NY 2023) <t:1672552800:D>
the past she has only appeared in select
How many gems left for this month?
I thought she will appear more often because she's the only ghost pokefair and bunch of legendary arena bosses weak to ghost...but nah, more Redlax reruns instead
honestly, before the last LG. The LG banner tend to rerun older units
I do wonder how many gems are left before the Eevee's leave
Maybe she will appear again for ghost high score, high score banner features fairly new pairs
redlax has paralysis and def down so he "counters" more LG than sskorrina 
Shame I'm skipping SS Korrina again (If I didn't get the worst luck imaginable this month
)
Well thats true but i dont think it warrants like 6 reruns or more for him 
This chat will be my New poma lounge for the month
how many gems are we getting this month?
Around 26k
oof
Still higher than recent months
Oh huh
Couldn’t have pulled for her the last time then lol
I was expecting 23k so I am happy with what we got
wow your so unique
Yeah focus on saving for your targets
Im happy for Lana fans tho
Remember, plan wisely
yesyes
Pulling talk is not allowed here, spoiler that
Both stay until datamine, you should be patient
I was expecting at least 28k tbh…
shiro's and my count will be different due to the cut off dates
And you are not planning wisely tho
mine is higher cos my cut off is 31 dec
ohh
oh my bad
but yes its 26k
if I would to use like
36k on lana
I would get the others
and maybe 3
and then I would have
?
2 months to save for rosa
Always prepare for the worst scenario
counting your eggs before they hatch isnt the best strategy
okayy
disappointing gem count + NY rerun banner in January means this is going to be a skip month for me, ||no matter how much I like Gogoat||
triple banner is the 4.5% rate tho, MF is 1%
its still cancerous if u are going for 1
true true
look, I’m strictly F2P and aiming for NY Lisia (and also lowkey want NY Sabrina and Volkner)
ditch
I think this is the only option I have for her
You'd just select seasonals usually
or else yall have bottleneck with new units
Seasonal rerun is bait
strictly F2P
Wait rlly? 
26k is a healthy number
26k? 
Being above average is good enough for me
Shouldnt december be atleast 30k
I mean it’s kinda lower than it was around this time at last year so it’s gonna be a little disappointing to me
Don't factor in last year
The first ever December gem count is less than 20k
That doesn't mean all December gem count were 20k

no variety at least
yeah but we have another Ultimate Battle so it cancels out 
This year anni we got like half the gems as last year
So if anything
More than 15k itself is a blessing

I just can’t bring myself to think of “more than 15k” as more than a bare minimum with all the banners coming out these days
True, hope this continues 
hsycamore instead got variety tier kit
Is that good?

thank goodness I lowkey needed to be dissuaded from ||pulling him||
Does pomatools already updated? I want to see lodge jasmine kit
I like variety as long as they are free
Tbh I am surprised they skipped out on 5/5 expansion this month
So only kukui powerboost this time
Kukui powerboost any good?
Oh wait I forgot there’s no expansion
more self sufficiency
Its basic things, she can lower defense and has a tm thundershock and I think x defense all or smth
It's good buff
Passives r endurance recup and smth else, I didnt see grid
Oh nice, i love good buff...like recent leaf, i start to use her more after buff
Finally her tm does stuffs
Oh i see, she's electric or steel?
Steel
Oh neat, i dont think i have much steel support
Steel
Gyro Ball, Thunder Shock, Screech and a mid TM
I dont like her kit and grid much but i still EX her because of fav
Oh she's a tech?
She is a support
gauntlet fodder let’s go baybeeeee
Would be helpful for steel HS
also im glad that i will finally 5* all non eggmon pairs...so most
after this will become

I abandon 5* shiny eggmons project...i got a bunch of em now, better that i just focus on EXing more pairs
Remember we're likely getting a Xmas 3k gems present or smth next month too

We are, it has been counted
Its already calculated iirc
There is no hiding it, with the lack of bonanza,la missions and rallies the gem count will stay lower than it was last year
Will we get new year gems present DeNa? 
wth
you mean
50
and 1 field and sprint role cake coin

I know that some people hates stamina rally due to not able to spend 2500 stamina in 7 days...but why does DeNa remove LA missions and blissful bonanza 
Blissey got tired of being a damage sponge every month
LAmissions is 1.1k gems per month
Blissey is roughly 3k gems
If you add em to past few gem count
I'm not on the Dena is greedy movement, nor am I thinking EoS is near, but there is no denying that they are lowering the monthly gem income
I love to punch them using buzzma
now they're gone
1 day imma use Og Guzma with pin missile on the yellow rats for master day stage

I personally don't think losing 1 extra multi per month is anything notable
1 "faint" is not enough
But the problem is mainly banner quality
I am quite certain not many people would have cared if varieties didn't exist
Like this month gem count is really decent
1 pity per year 
Talking about this, i guess them separating Nate and Rosa to be 2 events is to help boost gems. But still not enough to fill the removed contents gems 
or they are just lazy to think of more units/events
variety isn’t enticing to me anyways, I feel the decrease in gems way harder than the banner bloat tbh (assuming you mean variety to be the main factor in this)
Yeah, Rosa running on masters day will boost her sales. There's gems deals that day
Well both have different stories and different event badges so probably not that lazy...its not like timegated pokewar or tea party sc event
Pokewar sc first run is the driest month i ever experienced 
that was cool yeah
1 event for the whole month and its timegated to unlock one each week
Hoping that the mystery stones chapter to become big enough like VAs so probably can get more gems 
But currently its like paulo interlude
one 10 gems story every month
Likely 3k present around Xmas too
"a glimmering night of gifts" ig
Damn I hoped we'd get 29-30k
Sad
Still good ig
2021 we had 24k
Tbf I think 26k is fine, there's like 4 characters this month 
Definitely, may was out last month that was over 30k I think

Well if people keep pulling everything that came out of course it feels not enough 
i will be too busy playing Paldea DLC to care about the gem count ~~ or LG~~
perfect for skip month
Sad that there's no paldea pairs
or welcome indigo disk login bonus or something
I'll probably spend but not as much as I had feared
Because after all I fully skipped alola just in hindsight for a rerun like this
December for january
Dec and February usually
But seeing rosa event starts on 25, datamine might be late
Depends
so maybe Rosa will be mentioned there
Wait we get a gem tally already?
an initial estimate yeah
im probably collecting them for theme purposes
if dena decide to allow us to lock all 3 lines of stats 1 day it will be the day I use those rb feathers
All 12 still from different typings, cannot wait for the day when they started to overlap so that i can build a full set rainbow feather gears 
26k… not bad. Hope it’s 26,999 haha
Is this like one of those battle facilities in the game? Hope the gems rewards are not too hard to get 
i wonder tho
will u be able to use the same pairs
(but they will retain their mp usage and damage sustained)
I like that there's exclusive items, maybe can pave way for new held items for us other than gears in the future 
I like more customizations
ig its for the new battling content only and unusable anywhere else
update Battle Villa first then we talk
I hope they update villa too, well 10 more floors might cover some of the removed contents gems
however, if they want us to replay this over and over again
they will need to provide incentives
(like the limited time LA missions)
if rewards is crap idt any1 will bother after their first clears
They said rewards vary based on points remaining after completing final battle
So exchange points to get items for strengthen pairs, but you will have less points remaining at the end so less points for rewards
Need to find sweet spot where we dont use points much while can still clear final battle
Very reminiscent of Battle Castle from Gen 4. Looking forward to it
Or half anni select
they stay until January anyway, you got time to decide
Oh cool then
also just in case, spoiler Tapu talk too
Sorry mb
they will have to refresh the rewards from time to time tho
if not once ppl hit the max rewards they wont even touch it anymore
it does sound like a battle facility style event which is pretty cool
I wonder when we’ll get this and the photo mode thing
surprised they dropped ||viola alt|| and not yet photo mode
Yeap hope its like villa, new rewards every month
Here’s something I want to ask
Going to skip December and I have 150k gems
Should I pull V Lyra?
Reasons to pull V Lyra:
-next year the V Eeveelutions might get cake
-but next year they might all rerun on 1 banner (5 eeveelutions on 1 banner)
-and I already have V Elio and V Selene
Reasons against pulling V Lyra:
-There might be a support rain caller unit released between now and V Lyra getting cake (if she gets cake at all)
inb4 they go up to 40 floors 😮
with +1000 gem increase.... could work.
is she your fav?
if she is not, the answer you will get here is no
Well she has a decent kit and I want to have a support ex with rain caller when one eventually becomes available (either with V Lyra getting cake or a new new support unit getting rain caller)
Is she a fave?
Well if you like her
And Vaporeon
Sure
the next year all rerun on banner isn't much of a point if you're projecting to possibly spend whole pity anyway
True but I would rather not have dupes of units I already have when I could get units I don’t already have instead
suppose, ig it's just not as much of a deciding factor (more a bonus)
better might be to think about whether there's any possible other units that could make you regret pulling in the next few months
also would you still be happy with her even if she doesn't get cake next year
I have 4 pities worth of gems
Units I would likely want to pull on would be
Support Rain Caller unit
Support Power Plant unit
Manectric
Paldea rock or dragon striker
Arven
and any and all Infernape units
just in case, you should put all pulling talk in spoiler talk here
Well I am skipping December so I won’t even mention any of those units
paldea might be a danger
Right, so the cautious thing to do is to save
I'd just try to get lucky with next year's Eevee Ticket (if we get that again)
Right
||1 in 7 chance of getting Vaporeon, and 5 in 7 chance of getting a unit I don’t already have if V Leafeon and V Glaceon are added next year||
basically yeah.
anyway if you were looking to pull her because she's a support rain caller, consider that she only sets rain on sync, so she uses them up
not sure if that is a good advice or not 
Its a free ticket; No gems needed... but you do have to be wishing ;_;
ig that makes sense if you only vaguely want a pair, depends if it's really a fave/want or not
though it relies on assuming that we'll get free ticket again
And assuming that they get cake
And assuming if all 5 eeveelution will either be in 2 banners or 1 banner
giving advice entirely based on assumptions is not too reliable imo
True but sometimes we don’t know when is the best time to pull a unit
I.E.
if you wanted Ingo and Emmet then the best chance to get them both with free gems would have been the Ingo and Emmet duel banner, but that wasn’t a guarantee when we had Emmet on a select banner and Ingo in a triple banner prior to the Ingo and Emmet duel banner
Few days left to form role cakes, i can give 3 faves cake roles next month 
Nice 🙂
Tbh we could get one next yr, and who knows when we’ll get EX roles for reruns that arent MFs
meanwhile I am sitting on 40 support cake coins
Also id suggest just going for SS Kris if u can imo
Exactly
New units getting cake roles is nice but older units getting cake roles would be nice also
Yeah
esp w the better split banners it’d be nice to get cake coins from those
EXR for free/gen pool units when
Gladeon with Striker for the lolz
Many of them dont even have an EX so 
poor flint
Lenora and Ryuki called
Never
*old gen pool units
Oh yeah newer 3/4*s dont even have EXR so 
At the rate they do this stuff everyone won’t get it
Eve tina and the last 3 lodge pairs + jasmine
Eve and lodge pairs make sense for now, since they have been giving EXR to gacha units only
Tina not having EXR is weird tho
my girl was shafted so hard
Wait eve doesnt even have EX 
Tina isn’t real
i mean it took them until now to make ||sprint and field EXR||
Yeah ik
I did have a dream that DeNA added “lodge cake”
Which is cake for 3/4* units only
5 star jail
I meant I forgot she didnt
needed to stop eve from soloing too many LAs
that's actually a fire idea. 😮
1000 lodge stones per cake 
why would you want to further dilute items
curious if/when they'll do sprint & field 3/4 stars
it'll probably be a while but i think it's possible
Remember to praise the best unit of the datamine, totally not BP clemont but worse
remember to include spoiler tag
You pull her from lodge
“BP Clemont but worse” right down to the Pokemon she uses lol
Yep
Still cute tho
Might still solo a couple LAs
||Colress is a better Lodge Jasmine||
tbh she has recuperation so soloing Latios at least is a given, maybe Bulu too? 
Recup 1 over syncro healing made me fucking chuckle to death
we can't have her too broken
- endurance, check
- both defs+ ACC buffs, check
- heals on sync, check
- screech, check
I still need to see grid but
mini BP Clemont
I bet she gets charging infliction too
first aid 2 instead of first aid 4 XD
what were they cooking with her smh
they dont want her to be too op
screech 30% mgr, not charging infliction
clearly, BP Clemont >>>>> NC Blue
legitimately just bp clemont lite
Man, that's so funny
Wait it’s really just BP Clemont?
she can lower speed ig
against paralysed opponents
to deal with her 10% paralysis you can give her HE4 😅
Usually 1 3 5 are the early big celebrations years (even if every year is a good year to celebrate)
Idk if it has to do by 4 being an unfortunate number in Japan/China
But sure gatchas have to calibrate on the new situations (post-covid, crisis and so)

@lofty relic
mmhmm.
i can spark for Nate but i dont like him... so that leaves the holiday pairs and Rosa 😮

Almost 27k, well it's almost ok-ish
As long as we stay above 25k average we can grant 2 units every 3 months
oh definitely will hit 2 strike candies, 3 tech candies, 2 support candies, and +1 Field and +1 Sprint candies by the end of December
thank you Tlim, amazing work as always 
i will wait until Jan datamine to decide
Check his grid, ssHilbert energy is not the best
Double rebuff mainly for my other faves
+2 water rebuff+Archie/eusine
pls ping me if there is any clarification needed, will reply whenever
WOO YES I get double pity at end of December!
thanks for the hard work!
Basically 27
Me when the 6.6k gems on Christmas Day
27k gems 
Hmm
27k? Nice.
10 support coins this month
I could wait for end of Jan to 3/5 new syca or Omni and get it this month
New goal: saving for Hoenn Circle 
new goal: saving for Unova Square
This new feature will shape the game for years to come
yeah, it's the new fomo mechanic.
the master fair passive 2
ig they have to do something in order to surpass top tier units eventually 
Timed mf passive that affect sync
Not sure abt it
So very based
