Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[tardy fiber]

For now my candy list left is:
Strike - eusine 2/5
Tech - 0
Support - ncrosa 2/5, registeel 1/5
Sprint - 0
Field - nywallace 2/5

Just need 1 more support coin to form a candy but all recent events don't give it

[oak crest]

How far are u from your next coin at bp

[winged fossil]

im 2 coins from being able to 1>3 a striker when i find something i wanna do it due to, but im mostly waiting for content that im not satisfied with the current striker levels for it

im most likely doing gloralt next for the tech, unless 4.5anni brings me a new tech fav

[rare swan]

This is a good strat

[winged fossil]

although i suspect theyre gonna start pushing harder on the new roles at 4.5+

[rare swan]

Don't just spend candies for the heck of it

[winged fossil]

yeah, most recently i finished SSEthan's grid from 2>3 cause i had a LG clear that the extra multipliers played a decently sized part in.

plus, it just felt wrong having him in that 2/5 middle ground for as long as i did when lugias like, one of my number 1 legendaries

plus it also helps speed up my johto bp stage cleartimes cause i was barely off oneshot before on those

have to wait for it to rotate back in to see for sure if it made the diff but im 90% sure it was the difference i was looking for

since it was like 4% or less

aside from that though, the other strikers ive felt do fine for where i use them. LuSSa maybe was slight underperform, but i have SSBrendan for my psychic team now, which i think his fast -6 spdef helps cover lower move level of her quite well

(and brendan's own damage doesnt feel insignificant since in that case its also ontype + same damage type, thus not hindered by params)

iirc lillie's 3/5 grid is negligible, and ch marnie and red both obliterate their types anyway so i dont feel a need for theirs till a much later date prob

(and even offtype)

[tardy fiber]

Login event saves me, it gives my much needed support coin

I got 3 unused tech candies, all of my tech faves are already 3/5 and old pokefairs that i kinda want to 4/5 are strikers and not techs

[oak crest]

[oak crest]

trust soon u will have no more tech candies

Tech is 1 of dena's fave type

im always in need of tech candies

compared to striker/support

[tardy fiber]

But they start to send more field and sprint now, i rarely got a tech fave anymore

[oak crest]

they kinda have to do that while many people dont have the required candy for those 2

ngl im kinda grateful that 4th anni pairs had no sprint/field units

if not they would be stuck at 1/5

[tardy fiber]

At least im happy that yellow move coin amount monthly increase like there's average of 4/5 per month so only need around 4/5 months to form full candy

[warm scarab]

It's funny because everytime I open this chat I see you making that comment 😂 you must be very happy

[tardy fiber]

Happy, before this its one year to make a yellow candy

[next tide]

thanks for ur guides it really helpful

[rare swan]

you're welcome we're glad they are useful!

[crisp oracle]

Saving is fun

[shadow garden]

saving is fun and going to pity at the start of this year is also fun

[timber wren]

still better than getting to 363/400 and missing the unit as the banner expires

[shadow garden]

i saw someone getting to 399/400 and then the banner expired and he got nothing

[uneven bone]

OOF

That would SUCK

[shadow garden]

he stopped playing ever since

[timber wren]

#1010223517565976737 has been updated

for those playing along at home: we received 36,160 less gems in 2023 than 2022 so im tooting my saving horn

[feral vale]

📯

[sly breach]

New year, new pity

[lilac crescent]

Now to save all my gems.

[summer goblet]

Gonna be a long 3 months before I can invest into my favs

2024 goal is to reach ||500k|| gems by the end of the year if anyway possible

[chrome nest]

I got a question on mainly saving since I’m trying to get back into saving so the question is how do you all stay consistent playing the game

[tough oriole]

Tbh even if it is probably unhealthy, I kinda just play a lot of games’ dailies since i dont wanna miss on rewards

[summer goblet]

can't speak for dedicated savers like Chest

but for me, I limit down my playing time to just dailles on my dallies

helps avoid burnout

pick a time of day and go hard

and rest for the day

[chrome nest]

Alright I’ll take it into consideration

[summer goblet]

cool

when focusing on your gems

but knowing you have to play everyday

do the dallies only and keep it short

to avoid the burn out

also, having tons of favs helps spice things up

not sure how Chest does it though

[hasty umbra]

tbh when it comes to people going into saving for so long burnout isn't really what happens, it's more like boredom, granted the tips are kinda the same I guess

that being said, it really depends from person to person, like, you can be a saver and still pull pairs you find fun/interesting or whatever to spice things up while keeping a stash for favorites you are after, it's just the matter of investing the saving time to get to such position

[tardy fiber]

I just do dailies and new stuffs and then close the game and repeat the next day till another fave appears, as there's nothing to grind, well there's gauntlet but making teams does feel taxing so i just do the bare minimum

To cope with boredom, i play multiple games...if one or two doesn't have new contents, the other games might have

If 1 or 2 games goes saving mode, the others might in pull mode

Thats how i cope

[compact pasture]

Wow, we lost an entire pity

[slow hare]

OUCH

[oak crest]

well we might be having an even worse year for 2024

since they axed villa

and seasonal rerun events dont even give gems excluding the challenge missions

[tardy fiber]

I still hoping that they made villa permanent but refreshes the reward monthly so that just means we get a whole month to clear it instead of just 2 weeks

Just like legendary arena event before this where the arena stage is always available but the reward is time limited

[compact pasture]

What happened to villa?

[upbeat lotus]

its going to be replaced by the new mode

check the game news out for details

[onyx tinsel]

Do you all think if gem counts continue to drop it will mean people will quit? Or more people will spend more + complain?

[cunning swan]

If they keep this steady rate of 4 new banners per month I think people will still be fine with it

[rare swan]

Yeah, the past couple of months have been much more manageable with (new) banners

[cunning swan]

My personal theory is that they've been giving slightly less free gems to encourage paid gems so they can afford giving alts to less popular characters

Haven't had the huge moneymakers in a while

[vestal leaf]

2022 was an anomaly tbfh

[cunning swan]

And if that means less popular characters are getting alts, hey, good for them

[vestal leaf]

It was consistently pretty high in gems with huge months on annis

2023 wasn't bad per se

First half was proportionate

It's just second half that overshot with unit number for gem ratio

Aside Nov - dec

Which were fine

[cunning swan]

September 2023 was a bit too insane. What, 12 new units?

[upbeat lotus]

Lodge and BP pairs

Sep 2022 was even more insane

19 pairs iirc

[cunning swan]

That was because of lodge's introduction, wasn't it?

[upbeat lotus]

yup

[cunning swan]

But sept 23 we had 3 nc kantrio, 5 team rocket varieties, 2 frontier brains, and i forgot what else

[sturdy plank]

paulo and tina

[cunning swan]

Not even counting BP and lodge because at least those weren't banners

[cunning swan]

Ofc i forgot about them

[upbeat lotus]

i forgive you for forgetting Paulo

[crisp grotto]

& Tina

[upbeat lotus]

[onyx tinsel]

So you think gems to 2021 levels?

[vestal leaf]

?

2021 was awful

Lol

There's no way we go back to most months being sub 20k

[onyx tinsel]

What's your guess then for 2024

My guess is about 40k less than 2023

[vestal leaf]

Lmao

There's no way we get -75k in two years

[broken mulch]

A cautionary tale for us all

[onyx tinsel]

I do think they will introduce something to give us old pairs

To try to soften the blow

So not doom saying

[vestal leaf]

We already have that

[onyx tinsel]

Like a ticket every month to get like lance/steven

No for free

[vestal leaf]

Nah lol

Ain't happening

[onyx tinsel]

Fair enough

Do you think they ever will make old old pf easier to get for f2p

Just curious

[ashen thunder]

Triple banner
Take it or leave it

[vestal leaf]

They give one for free once every 8 months average

Also LG banner kinda serves that purpose too

[onyx tinsel]

Got it

I still think if they make the mix scout 1 f2p pull per day, it would do worlds for their image and probably bottom line

But that won't happen

[upbeat lotus]

idt its a clever move

[ashen thunder]

mix banner pool is too good to be F2P accessible

Even if spark takes 300 days to hit

[vestal leaf]

Actually would be 100

Because a f2p single is 3 points

So yeah, not happening

[ashen thunder]

They'll Defo make it 100 gems per pull and make it only 1 point

Even then it's very generous

[vestal leaf]

30k non paid for 100 rolls for limiteds + a guaranteed from any non mf pool is insane

If made 100 gems it's even worse

300 tries

Is even more insane

[ashen thunder]

ah right

I mean 300 days for guaranteed unit is still better than 100 days for guaranteed unit

Not like it's happening anyways

[vestal leaf]

Yeah, both cases are pretty absurd for 30k freebie gems tho

Be it a year or 3 months

[ashen thunder]

They already downsized the PF selector to variety selector

Since they consider giving free PF itself to be insane

[vestal leaf]

They did give free Marnie tho

Less than 6 months ago

Rahian was in too

[ashen thunder]

That's a 3 unit pool

Which is what I mean by downsizing
And the selector after that was just variety units

it's more like, we are getting more free stuff while not having much choice in it

[crisp oracle]

Take it or leave it

This or nothing at all

[ashen thunder]

We got spectier, galar PF, admin variety, eevee variety and new furiosde girl and it's only like 4 months

While it's usually only 2 free units every 6 months

it's just quality drop

With increase in quantity

[crisp oracle]

That's the problem

[onyx tinsel]

I meant more like after X amount of years having a "every month get a ticket" thing

[unkempt vortex]

That’s the solution

[onyx tinsel]

Even scummy feh did it eventually

[unkempt vortex]

Feh is also feh tho

Which is not a high bar

[drifting dagger]

That's asking for too much, especially with how crazy strong is lance pb lol

[onyx tinsel]

But they are max scummy, they just waited until gen 1 units were so power crept there was no way you could use them

[drifting dagger]

Fully maxed lance is slightly close to zerena

[ashen thunder]

Emphasis in fully maxed

[drifting dagger]

Something like that will make it easy to max tho

[ashen thunder]

Mine is still stuck in 1/5 hell

[drifting dagger]

Oof

[ashen thunder]

Coz too many strikers , so little candies

And I am someone that actively rolls dupes

[onyx tinsel]

Maybe we are a few years away

[ashen thunder]

I doubt people that roll 1 copy at a time would have even better candy management

F2P ofc, if you are buying that pack, it changes everything

[drifting dagger]

Meh, it all depends on which roles dena decides

Like

If they release 3 favs right after another

Amd they all are support? Yeah, you will lack blue candies

speaking from personal experience, yeah...

[ashen thunder]

well support quality this past 1.5 years is pretty high compared to what we used to get
So I think most people are broke in blue candies and stuck with 1/5 supports

Even more so than other roles

[drifting dagger]

Yup

Idk if I will even max iono then

[vestal leaf]

Haven't bought that bundle ever but still

My candy management is pretty safe

Never dropped under 3 each for a couple years

[ashen thunder]

I assume you just have more 1/5 units to keep it at that safe number

[vestal leaf]

Uhhh yea

[drifting dagger]

Tbf

With how good some units are this day

You can keep them at 1/5

[ashen thunder]

I tried to keep NCred at 1/5 but he was so mid compared to stuff around him at 3/5 so I had to candy

It was worth but I don't agree that you can keep stuff at 1/5

[vestal leaf]

I have 34 1/5 limited units

Apparently

[drifting dagger]

??? Nc red is far from mid even at 1/5

I have it at 1, and he still does good damage

[upbeat lotus]

can confirm

[ashen thunder]

I found the ice comp underperforming other types since most my stuff are 3/5

[upbeat lotus]

thats not a fair comparison

[vestal leaf]

Ice comp can mean many things

[ashen thunder]

Irida, NCred, Dana

[vestal leaf]

And 1/5 carries more than enough with ex

Seems weird for it to underperform if irida is 3/5

[drifting dagger]

Ye

[ashen thunder]

It felt worse to run than my zone zygarde comp....tho zygarde was abusing supp ex

[drifting dagger]

I have her at 3/5 too, and nc red still does some nice damage even if irida is there

[ashen thunder]

And zygarde was like my 6th best comp

1/5 NCred might be strong but if other stuff around him are 3/5, he doesn't seem as special

[vestal leaf]

Freeze on demand + double rebuff is already insane imo

Especially since it's both AoE

Which means Irida damage skyrockets

[drifting dagger]

^

[chrome nest]

Has anyone finished the ultimate challenge f2p?

[feral vale]

Ultimate Battles are super super hard, I doubt F2P can work for this.

…..omg I thought I was in #1009557516369281075

[chrome nest]

Ah crap

[crisp grotto]

They're permanent though, just pretend they don't exist until powercreep inevitably takes care of it

[feral vale]

~~And ofc the 300 gem reward is ~~

[crisp oracle]

arse to say the least, 300 gems for what

rng-heavy clears

[chrome nest]

I’ll be waiting for the day that an electric stage appears

[rare swan]

thankfully the rewards are low because the barrier for entry in those battles is obscenely high

[tough oriole]

(Btw everyone the cnate event shop leaves in 48 minutes, make sure to do the final exchanges)

[lilac crescent]

Gotta love it. I make strong units and plans only to get 300 gems as a reward. Atleast add something valuable like a Guaranteed Cookie or something.

Then I'd start trying.

[tardy fiber]

I just do Thorton ultimate, gonna let my future water faves clear Anabel

Not gonna grab em frogs

[lilac crescent]

Frogs?

[feral vale]

The two Greninja’s

[lilac crescent]

Oh!

That makes sense. ||I think||

[feral vale]

Greninja is a frog. The “scarf” you see is its tongue

[tardy fiber]

Because spending potentially 36.6k on non faves just for 300 gems sounds kinda bad

[feral vale]

Plus Greninja is the fully evolved form of

Who is le frog

[tardy fiber]

I need the og frog, poliwrath and politoed when?

[feral vale]

[tardy fiber]

At least Chuck might get poliwrath, but politoed is in shambles

[feral vale]

Musician alt ig

[tardy fiber]

Even if eggmons appears they just gonna forget it just like oddish egg without belossom and slowpoke egg without slowking

No tyrogue treatment

Finally lodge volkner is at 83 i will have a new toy in 2/3 resets

[lost bobcat]

Bellossom

Still waiting Erika w it

[tawny cedar]

I'm in a candy delay rn

I want to 3/5 my ncblue using my support and Omni candy but the thought of a future field or sprint fave just keeps coming in the back of my mind,ncblue is number 1 priority candy rn and is my top 1 favourite trainer,what do I do?

[lost bobcat]

Save the omni

We're getting a good amount of supp candies each month
Not so much for the newee roles

It's just waiting two months m

Also, blue is great as base, you won't feel behind

[tardy fiber]

Hurm sprint and field usually have 6/7 coins per month so it will form a month earlier than yellow which only has 4/5 coins per month... depends on your priorities i guess like if 1 of my move candy type demands is pretty imbalance like need 9 strike candies but others only need 3 candies, i just make my omni candy strike

I usually just use the candies if needed as a 3/5 fave means less paid gems i need as i can skip on selecting them when select scouts appears

[tawny cedar]

Hmm

Lemme calculate

12 candies for strike faves
11 candies for support faves
12 candies for tech faves

[tardy fiber]

Clearing the demands is kinda important for me like if i take it easy like there's plenty of strike candies, later next month or later PoMa release more strike faves so from 9 candies becomes 11 or 13

[tawny cedar]

2 candies for field fave if i get wallace(low as hell chance)

0 sprint

[tardy fiber]

Oh kinda almost equal between those 3 types...then differentiate how many MF needed candies because MF selects doesn't exist but pokefair/seasonal select exist therefore i always prioritise 3/5 MF first

Also MF got good kit and nice MF passive so 3/5 them kinda a good investment as they got outdated way later than pokefairs or seasonals

[tawny cedar]

Problem is I don't do selects

The only time i will be able to do selects is when I stack up enough Google play points for the daily gem bundle

So the only way I will get dupes outside of candies is by pulling

[tardy fiber]

Then see which pair that if it becomes 3/5 will help your roster more

As for your case then MF/PF/Seasonal have the same value as you dont do selects

[tawny cedar]

Do i account for possible future sprint or field pairs or purely strike,support,tech

[tardy fiber]

Well we usually can form strike, support, tech candies in 2 months but field might need 3 so its value is kinda 1.5 tech/strike/support candy

If there's no urgent need to use yellow candy, dont use it

Since all of your strike, tech, support demands are almost the same

In this case i will prioritise to use yellow for sprint/field

[tawny cedar]

So I had to look anyways

NCBlue and SSTred are my most valuable 3/5 additions to roster

Ncblue due to how versatile he is my teams and sstred for how good he is for general offtype

So unless those future sprint and field outrank them in versatility I feel ncblue or sstred might be more worth it

Potential nywallace doesn't seem to demand candies either with just basic QoL and 1 multiplier

[tardy fiber]

Yep if only basic QOL, just wait for field candies to form, no need to use yellow

Well the ones that might be future field faves for me are the bike lizards

They got sun and elec terrain on entry in the games, kinda sounds like field

[tawny cedar]

Hmm

I'll try to see which my faves could be field or sprint

If none I'll 3/5 sstred or ncblue

[tardy fiber]

Check how many support/tech coins you have currently if its around 10...just wait next month to candy them as usually we get 9/10

[vestal leaf]

If reward was high people would complain more

Because they'd be timegating something everyone wants behind powercreep and rng heavy fights

[wide yew]

It should have been a health threshold reward thing instead of clear or nothing
Now everyone that tries gets some

[vestal leaf]

Would've still been kinda iffy

Because health threshold implies standardising the stage's gimmicks and stats

Like legendary arenas

[wide yew]

Oh no not multiple bars
It's more like one try to get all 3 down as much as possible

And then an extra if you win

So you can fit a lot of rewards in without being frustrating since uh

Every complain from the fight was something like
Both teams have a single guy that are one hit away from death
But the opponent queued first

[tawny cedar]

0 support coins and 9 tech coins

So blue would take another 2 months and red would take 3

Also I checked who could be potential field or sprint faves

Potential field-shaymin,pgroudon,mtyranitar, dusk Mane/dawn wing
Sprint-iron bundle,clodsire/quagsire,
Sprint or field-shiny dnite,shiny zeraora

[tawny cedar]

So what do I do now

Bite the bullet and get my blue or sstred 3/5?or keep it for the rare offchance i get field or sprint face

[lost bobcat]

When not sure, just save
It's never a wrong move

[feral vale]

[tawny cedar]

Ig i will

If this datamine has nothing I'm using it tho

I'm thinking of getting an alt account soon

I plan to make it help me with gem zen

Would I use it to get all the faves I've missed to make reruns much lower than usual or pure meta account to keep meta temptations to 0 while having to get all rerun faves on main acc

[violet nebula]

There really isn't a meta per se for this game

As you can get by with all the free units and a couple of pokefairs

[crisp oracle]

So I’m trying to play EA FC and there is a mission that forces you to pull players. ||Be very lucky that PoMa doesn’t force you to pull on pairs.||

[lilac crescent]

You talking about the Daily Scout?

[crisp oracle]

You aren’t forced to do the daily scout in PoMa

In FIFA you’re forced to scout (or open a pack) if you want the daily gems.

[hard wave]

Is it free?

[crisp oracle]

Yes but it’s predatory

Forced to pull and after the first rush of content, it slows down

[hard wave]

yeah ig, daily scout isnt too great anyway

[timber wren]

poma does force you to pull once in the tutorial but it’s one time

[hard wave]

Tho you did have to do it before 4th anni for the gems

[timber wren]

to get whitney (now blue)

[tardy fiber]

If pure meta means you need to grab all meta pairs that are already released so it will be even harder

[oak crest]

even I also don't go for pure meta since I do skip meta units if I dislike the trainer and/or mons

[tawny cedar]

Oh not like that

Basically any current meta pair that is out rn

If I have temptation for it I'll snatch it on my alt

That is one way i could use the alt

Or I could make it purely to get sub faves I can't get on my main acc

[tardy fiber]

This is alright i think, if you split your faves between 2 accounts means each account expenses will be divided so its good for resource saving

[tawny cedar]

Welp it failed

Sadly going to have to get everything into one acc only

[dreamy onyx]

1k more to the savings, last mission with gem tho

[rare swan]

Ooh I need to get that one

[oak crest]

i think i only got the 1000 interactions not long ago

[tardy fiber]

Nice, i also cleared that last mission few days back

Still 93 volkner cannot have fun with another electric rat

[broken mulch]

Just learned tinkering with Skill Gear doesn’t do anything for the upgrade Skill mission

That sucks

[dark oar]

4ish more days, and im at 27k gems

[winged fossil]

I know it’s extremely small number. But I am happy that I get even ten extra gems next reset relative to expectations. I also get like a hundred extra gems in 8 interactions apparently, plus another hundred from whoever I do after sycamore.

[tawny cedar]

Does wallace count as a sub fave if I only like him because of his extremely fun kit,outfit and Pokemon?

[winged fossil]

That’s up to you I guess?

[tardy fiber]

Depends on people, like i only care about pokemon...trainers are just sides

[winged fossil]

Personally ||it was the outfit plus kit that lead me to falling for it||

[tawny cedar]

I'm trying to decide whether I get it on my main or just go for it on my alt

I got my alt working so I can go for ||ncrosa+nywallace,sstred+nywallace or the meta start route of sstred+ncrosa||

[winged fossil]

If you have to ask yourself for justification, imo that’s a reason enough to save

[tawny cedar]

It's not like that really

Like yeah i will 100% skip him this year cuz I don't have a pity

But wondering if i should hold out for him to get on main next year

Or get him right now on alt

[winged fossil]

Rerun banners for seasonals suck except for spring

0.25% and counting

[tawny cedar]

I mean I am ready to pity next year

[winged fossil]

They’re mostly “select, mega fav, or don’t bother if it’s not the newest one” imo

[tawny cedar]

Can't select so uhh

Hmm

I gotta think this over

[winged fossil]

Cause almost guaranteed to be 36k for a type of unit that typically gets crept so quickly is hard to justify otherwise when we get what like 8-10 pities a year

[tawny cedar]

Creep doesn't matter to me

I still use nylance for flying types if I feel like it

[winged fossil]

I still use pserena for like 99% fairy content myself

Especially now that we have sylvegg to help her, makes me not need to dual strike with her as badly

[tawny cedar]

I think wallace is a mega fave

So he will stay as someone to get on main acc

So that's still 4 reruns to bag

With 3 of them having no fixed rerun time

[winged fossil]

Iirc I’ve got like… two or three remaining at this point. Although one of them is a pasio character so it will prob be a while for that one

And the other is for rerun in April if anni doesn’t bankrupt me

[tawny cedar]

Nywallace gives me a long window to save and go for other faves

Scjasmine,asteven and vlance are time bombs

[winged fossil]

I’ll be happy if halfversary somehow is a full skip for me. But it usually isn’t when it’s mf month so I am like almost guaranteed to fullskip feb and brace for anni

Best case I have three pities by time half anni pairs leave, worst case two. Hopefully I only fall for one at most tho so I’ll not possibly go broke off an anni

Been a long time since I’ve gone into a month without pity prepared and I don’t want to return to those days if I can avoid it

Cause I know if I do they’ll randomly finally drop a Lillie alt or gladion alt

https://tenor.com/view/no-gif-19426083

Anyways that’s enough rambling from me tn ima sleep

[broken mulch]

I hate New Years seasonals, way too close to halfversary and after Halloween and Christmas units lol

Same with Palentines

[tardy jolt]

There could be PFs like for 2.5 anni
Personally I’ll be at 4 pities + 15k paid by the end of February, unless we drop at like sub 20k for that month. Not really a position I’m comfortable with, but I guess it’s average saving

[sly breach]

Which PF for 2.5 anni?

Thought it was johtrio

[lilac crescent]

One thing I like to do when I get daily is that I keep them in 🎁 then claim them all when I get enough.

Pro tip - Don't use recklessly.

[tardy fiber]

Annimay, anniraihan, anniskyla probably

[sly breach]

Oh yeh

True

[winged fossil]

Just decided to check my 3/4 star candy progress today. Have we received more striker 3stars or is the striker bronze candy just that far behind?

[hard wave]

It took me the longest time to 5/5 all my 3* strikers

Its prob because tech and support have like 3 each while strike has quite a few more, also I feel like we get more tech/support 3 star and more strike 4 star

[winged fossil]

Still like 3 or 4 more 4stars that are favs to max but I don’t like going below 2 of these candies for when a lodge fav drops.

[hard wave]

My volkner is 1/5 and I have to wait for the 16th luckily besides him I just have silver, both of which ill 5/5 with lodge stones

[untold tide]

The repost gems

Are they included in the monthly count

If not, then it bumps up to 29k + whatever the lottery gives you

[dark oar]

Nice. 3k gems hehe

[tardy fiber]

Twitter gems and i thought they forgotten about twitter rally existence

[dark oar]

Guess im in pity range in a few days xD

[tardy fiber]

I will be able to have 100k gems around datamine date...thanks DeNa

Oh wait, im not sure if i can clear darach ultimate

Less 300 gems

[oak crest]

if weather works in place of terrain its not too bad

[winged fossil]

from what little I know of it uhhh

Do you happen to have what was it, was it diancie with rock zone? I thought I heard the new one was targeted at her or something. Don’t remember if that Mon counts for your fav requirements…
Either way I’m in an iffy boat for that fight too

Train bros is like bis I have for rock which is so old

[oak crest]

cleared

It's easier than Anabel

off-typed np

[maiden kayak]

wait so 3k added for jan gem count?

[tardy fiber]

I gonna try again later, 10 tries without rock wish mp refresh proc

I even rechecked my grid

And see its still activated

[tawny cedar]

I'm loving my alt

It makes skipping on my main so easy

If there's pair that gives me fomo or tempts I just get it on my alt

No losses incurred on main

[untold tide]

Just don't get salted by your alt

[tawny cedar]

Only salt I'd get if i lose the account

I cant save it to a Nintendo acc cuz it just tries to replace the Nintendo acc save on my main

[dark oar]

Done with all the content for today o/

[tardy jolt]

Damn, the rally was unexpected, some good news, finally

[dark oar]

Indeed

and we finished the twitter rally in 2 hours after announcement xD

[compact pasture]

We all needed the gems

[lilac crescent]

Yes! For once, thanks to Twitter.

[sturdy flower]

Holy Iono Rally!

[sand crown]

I hope this is them realizing they gotta throw a bone to the community once in awhile

[feral vale]

[sand crown]

Like that tweet is doing numbers. From a community perspective that is what you want

[bleak falcon]

You all celebrate now, but little do you know you’ve all opened the floodgates for Iono to get 5 alts

[timber wren]

oh no what a nightmare

[hasty umbra]

you keep that Galar trend out of Paldea, tyvm

[feral vale]

LESGOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[bleak falcon]

Tbh I’d be fine with Iono alts ||my wallet wouldn’t be tho||

[tawny cedar]

5 free skips

[grim plover]

thats more than a skip month

[vernal glade]

I will be skipping also. I rather wait for my favs.

[winged fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/nope-anime-no-nah-no-way-gif-16278184

Me if that happens

[lilac crescent]

Can relate.

[lilac crescent]

Sounds like the internet to me.

[sturdy flower]

Oh, no what am I gonna do with 5 Iono alts

[violet nebula]

Be careful

The Lillie alts may come rolling back

[lilac crescent]

Or the Rosa alts.

[grim plover]

is this ok for the sync multipliers?

the damage doesnt change

(thats lodge steven)

Iono alt, hurm there's some paradoxes with electric types...iono raging bolt lets goooo

[grim plover]

no, but i just wanna activate the innate multiplier

[tough oriole]

Oh you’re right, it doesn’t work, probably since stdk changed the icon for it

Hold on this is gem zen

[grim plover]

ups sorry, i thought it was research and findings

[lilac crescent]

So what if PMEX had PVP?

[upbeat lotus]

the game would die

also, this is the topic for #poma-lounge, not here

[lilac crescent]

My bad.

[feral vale]

3K AWAY FROM A PITY AGAIN

Oh wait I forgot to start BV and do my skip, so 2k now!

[crisp oracle]

Hopefully this isn't the last chance to get the medal for BV

[spiral sky]

I currently have about 9k crystals, I want ||Iono and/or Grusha|| but I also want to make sure I have a decent amount of gems for half anni, what should I do?

[feral vale]

Firstly, save a pity, which is 36.6k. They will be here when the next datamine comes too so you can decide around then.

Btw I think you should spoil the names since they’re current banners in the month?

[spiral sky]

What do you mean? I should spoil them but your're also ending it as a question?

[dark oar]

It just means you have to spoil/hide the names of upcoming sync pairs.

[feral vale]

Mb for not specifying what. Basically, in the rules of this channel (accessed through the pins) is to spoil the names of pairs in current or upcoming banners to prevent others from temptation.

[dark oar]

just edit your message with these || on the names.

[tough oriole]

||I mean actually the pins say that there’s a 0 toleration policy of any reference to spending gems but it’s not really enforced that way||

[spiral sky]

Ah sorry about that, just covered it

[feral vale]

||ACK OFC I MIX IT UP ||

[rare swan]

Because it says at the end that we won't enforce these rules as firmly as the main server rules

But we do expect the spirit of this thread to be respected

[tough oriole]

Understandable

But it would be funny if you did tho

[rare swan]

[oak crest]

Altho it's not firmly enforced, u might encounter hostility from other members if u do it often enough as many come here as a refuge from being tempted to pull

[rare swan]

I must say this has been a nice skip month, but I wouldn't mind a fave next datamine

we shall see

[tough oriole]

No faves for me please

[crisp grotto]

Same

[slow hare]

I would very much like to skip february and Palentines

Gonna be broke for the half anni MFs again

[vernal glade]

I want to skip next month and half anni. I must save for October.

[crisp grotto]

I'm watching you three

[upbeat lotus]

4, actually

[tardy fiber]

I hope there's no fave on February...but if there is, at least made it a fairy damage dealer fave, tired of using annilillie for fairy contents

Finally done with grass HS, kinda hectic these few days

[oak crest]

You can use Sycamore too for double fairy dps

[crisp grotto]

No BP Valerie? She's fun

[lost bobcat]

We got Katherine for nuke and syca for dps, we're good

[tardy fiber]

Last time I checked mawile aint a legendary, mythical, UB, paradox

Seeing pogo got hisui stuffs on February, hope there's enamorus on poma

It literally have heart shape hair

Manaphy with heart swap or magearna with the mechanical heart are also heart related for palentine

[oak crest]

Manaphy would mean another water type tho... Don't think your water type is really lacking

[tardy fiber]

Well way less than psychic at least...i only have 5 water faves but 11 psychics

[grim plover]

i have 0 water techs favs

[tardy fiber]

I got 1...urshifu

Current Fave List:
Normal - 2 Flying - 5
Fire - 7 Psychic - 11
Water - 5 Bug - 2
Electric - 3 Rock - 3
Grass - 3 Ghost - 4
Ice - 5 Dragon - 6
Fighting - 4 Dark - 2
Poison - 1 Steel - 5
Ground - 2 Fairy - 2

[lost bobcat]

That's a lot

[tardy fiber]

Well at least 15 of it are free and 2 are from general pool

[oak crest]

[tardy fiber]

Will get another 2 free on anni

[oak crest]

Anni still long time away

Have to get past half anni first

[tardy fiber]

Maybe there's 1 on half anni, just like Evelyn before this she didn't release on anni

[oak crest]

Oh didn't know that lol

[tardy fiber]

Also probably got pair up like victrier

[oak crest]

Maybe

They might do it for meltan if they decide the "format" of free legend to be given out this way

[tardy fiber]

Hopium for free legendary adventures pair for paldea

[oak crest]

I hope they release more steel dps or nukers that isn't ground weak

[tardy fiber]

ScJasmine, Gloria and Hop are not weak to ground

[oak crest]

Your Jirachi is tho ☠️

[tardy fiber]

He is weak to ground

[oak crest]

Could had been the replacement for steel weak Bertha since she is phy resistant

[tardy fiber]

Oh right, steel weak bertha

Hope i can clear 15k cs

[oak crest]

Probably can still risk it and use him altho I rmb all 3 loves to spam EQ on that 1

[tardy fiber]

Gonna try to use hop, gloria, registeel first...hope can clear her post sync

[oak crest]

I'm trying Rose and see if he works

Selected him from NY selects

Time to see how he functions

[tardy fiber]

Oh i didnt get rose, i 3/5 sslana instead using ny select

[oak crest]

Rose was my target for select since back then I skipped him due to how close (and how shit the rally was) anni was at that time

If he doesn't work for Bertha probably dumping him on Flint's stage since it's rock weak

Unless that stage require sp based rock typing

[dark oar]

isn't this discussion better in #1009554906568462476 :o?

[tardy fiber]

Oh right 12 messages back it is still about faves

Somehow derailed to be about steel weak bertha

Probably 14 messages back after counting this two

I might get Rose in the future because villain being lodge guest is now a thing

So if no faves that haven't yet 3/5 in the select scout pool, i will just grab any missing base pair that might be lodge guests

[dark oar]

I'm hoping for Maxie/Archie in there; in order 😮

[tardy fiber]

I will be happy if that happens, because i got both, but more MF become lodge guests does stings

Still watching the locked adaman and irida

[grim plover]

primals for the 4.5 anni

i need some groudon/kyogre with infinite weather

[tardy fiber]

Hoenn NC

Nc Brendan shiny primal Groudon and NC May shiny primal kyogre

[grim plover]

and NC Wally with shiny mega ray (now with good stats)

i need to save more, my fav regions havent gottem NC yet (Hoenn and sinnoh)

[tardy fiber]

Give wally a shiny regirock, mc version is kinda mid

[grim plover]

NC hoenn with the regis

rock zone, ice zone and steel sone (the ones im lacking )

[tardy fiber]

im gonna be poor yet still happy

Only have 88k gems currently

It always give me dopamine when i can use a team of faves

Thats why i hate highscore

Only have 3 grass faves yet need to use 15 grass pairs for easier clears

[grim plover]

i just got back to a pity after a tradegy...

but ||grusha is tempting me, i'll wait to see the datamine||

[oak crest]

at least dont have to bother with the score after 180k

unlike the past before u got the medal

[tardy fiber]

True, thankfully i got the medal on water HSE ...but i dreaded for bug / fairy / dark HSE

Oh normal too

[violet nebula]

Ice..

Rock...

Ground....

[zenith eagle]

Starting at 18k right now. Do I have a chance to reach pity before Iono goes away?

[feral vale]

Let’s spoiler the name of current/upcoming banners, k?

Also you can check the /gems command in #bot-zone

[zenith eagle]

Noted and found it thanks!

[hard wave]

I dont even have 15 or more units for any remaining types except psychic

[bleak falcon]

They might replace HSE with that new content they’re working on

No guarantee tho

[strange trout]

Nah HSE still has plenty more to go

More likely the new content takes over Villa's slot

Though I'd rather it be permanent from the get go tbh, the fun of roguelikes is the infinite replayability

[turbid sapphire]

back at a pity!

or

two really

but the idea of not having an emergency pity scares me

[feral vale]

Fair enough

[tough oriole]

I really feel like HS isn’t well suited to a lot of rarer types without some changes

[unkempt vortex]

Just look at fairy

[vestal leaf]

They can just slow down

And make HSE a 4-6monthly thing

And release units of those types slowly

[timber wren]

yeah there’s plenty of time for types that have smaller rosters currently

but the other thing is that all gems are obtainable from HS while getting 0 points

so pulling just for HS is silly from a resource perspective

[feral vale]

Yeah and 0 strength is as easy as CS Hard mode

[vestal leaf]

Indeed

[feral vale]

Just gotta remember to speedrun it today so I can get gems

[lilac crescent]

Wait, what does HSE mean?

[feral vale]

High Score Event

[lilac crescent]

Ah.

[tardy fiber]

Continue HSE after anni anni releases plenty of new BP pairs

[tardy fiber]

Oh or repeat old HSE in case the remaining typings are kinda lacking

[pure arrow]

SC Zinnia spotted! also yeah, always having to ask myself “am I going to be able to get a pity from next month’s gems?” is not very relaxing

as for the High Score event, I do think repeats are also likely in case DeNA fears backlash from doing a limited-heavy type (like Dark, for supports)

[warm scarab]

Or region high score legggggo

Kanto? 😂

[tardy fiber]

Yep region high score is kinda nice too, except galar...i still think it still kinda lacking of f2p pairs...well there's kinda quite a lot of general pool, but there might be someone out there thats like me with 0/5 melony

I will change if they give galar bp pair this year

Oh i gonna send feedback for paldea legendary adventures pair

[turbid sapphire]

yessss

[junior trout]

Kieran w/ ogerpon and with paldea villain arc we get the ability for it to change masks

[lost bobcat]

Well Kalos is worse than Galar, we still have only 3 units in the ticket pool
But they better start releasing Paldean stuff for genpool
And not playing dirty like releasing 3 units right at run-up anniversary so they'll join the ticket genpool one year later

[oak crest]

if he gets ogerpon he probably wont even go down that route

probably still has his old looks & personality

[lost bobcat]

Well we have similar things, look at ssSteven or GloriaAlt2

Forms are not a problem i think
It's more abt what tera feature will be

[oak crest]

hopefully they add at least 1 or 2 Palden spotlight before anni drops

[tardy fiber]

I can see tierno and trevor being general pool in the future, they are not villain admins so they wont be variety also not as popular too...malva might be pokefair

But seeing recent e4 being general pool, she might be general pool too i guess

[unkempt vortex]

She’s gonna stay in jail or be variety

[dark oar]

malva as a Pokefair... ;_;

[lilac crescent]

I got it. Julina and Koridon (not even sure if I said those right)

[hasty umbra]

you missed an a in both names

[dark oar]

Its either Juliana or Sada tbh

[rare swan]

Sada

[hasty umbra]

cave woman, yes pls

canonically both can have it so, it really doesn't matter lol

[lost bobcat]

I think one of the professors
We never got a protagonist
But I fear the boring mc boy

[hard wave]

Wdym, gloria has zacian as her base

[hasty umbra]

Lucas and Dialga says hi too

[rare swan]

The Paldean MCs are so goddamn boring, how could Dena even market them

[lost bobcat]

As legendary adventures free unit

[hard wave]

Oh

If they even do that

[lost bobcat]

The dlc make them a little better at least but yeah

[hard wave]

Fr, prob cuz of the uniforms but the only difference is their hair

[hasty umbra]

GF dropped the ball with customization on that game, the uniform being permanently stuck on the character was lame

I guess a way to salvage them a little bit would be giving both a different design of the uniforms

[lost bobcat]

Military grade customization 🫡

[rare swan]

They'll have to make them Big Meta to get interest, they have 0 character

That or make one the Paldean LA pair

[dark oar]

Damn. Its gonna be turo for free tbh

[hard wave]

I think violet is more popular but im not sure

[hasty umbra]

eh, maybe, but not all of it is

[dark oar]

Hmm yeah. Itll depend on which protag were getting

Arven too

[hasty umbra]

like, the Violet paradox are whatever for the most part

[hard wave]

Florian is prob getting uva and juliana prob naranja once they figure that out

[lost bobcat]

It is, by preorder numbers iirc
Future dragon was cool

[dark oar]

If pmex is to go by, its gonna be all of them lulz

[hard wave]

Usually the secondary version is less popular right? I think violet is the secondary version

[hard wave]

I mean they have paradox pokemon, dif schools in dif universes shouldnt be too confusing

[hasty umbra]

considering Nemona has the orange uniform they might stick to Naranja for the whole thing

[hard wave]

I wish they’d do the winter uniforms but its most likely summer

[hard wave]

And if they want to add miraidon or any future paradoxes?

[lost bobcat]

Best move is giving them as f2p/event and drop the alts
The 2nd dlc designs are nice

[hasty umbra]

well, I meant appearance wise, lore bits I have no clue how they'll handle it

[dark oar]

Theyll surprise us im sure hehe

[hard wave]

Yeah idk

[lost bobcat]

Hoopa doing his stuff

[hasty umbra]

it's not that they can't just decide not to care like they have done before, see N hogging both Unova dragons...

[hard wave]

The MCs?

[lost bobcat]

Ye

Giving broken kits to make them pullable feels bad imo

[hasty umbra]

they'll just do whatever they want, see NC Nate, he isn't broken AF or anything and got shafted with the game icon

Elesa is super popular, and yet, her Palentine kit is pretty eh

[lost bobcat]

We had a greninja iirc

[unkempt vortex]

Nah nate didn’t get shafted

He got more time on the title screen than rosa

[lost bobcat]

Poor cNate, I like the outfit bcs of pokestar studio
But if base nate was a pokefair I would never pull

[unkempt vortex]

Rosa had what a day

[hasty umbra]

fair

[unkempt vortex]

And then it went back to the default

[hasty umbra]

yeah, that was really weird

[lost bobcat]

Delaying Rosa to make Nate more interesting to pull

[hasty umbra]

kinda, yeah

I still skipped the heck out of him

[lilac crescent]

Your not the one.

[unkempt vortex]

He’s fun

[lilac crescent]

Nate's boring in my opinion.

[rare swan]

Not y'all saying a unit getting a whole MF and story dedicated to just him is a shaft 😭

[unkempt vortex]

They said it not me

I enjoyed the story

[rare swan]

I wish my faves could get shafted that way

[hasty umbra]

that wasn't the point!

[unkempt vortex]

Kalos gets shafted by existing

[rare swan]

We did have the icon last month, so

[crisp oracle]

You’ve had enough Kalos this year

[rare swan]

[lilac crescent]

Dang. We should get more Kalos units

[hasty umbra]

Kalos can't claim shaft when they got something every single month last year

[lilac crescent]

What you mean? The year just started 10 days ago.

[crisp oracle]

I just want SC Diantha

Pls rerun

[unkempt vortex]

we all know the real shaft is johto

Kalos should stay in jail this year

[lost bobcat]

They got the best mc trio outfit (and some broken kits)

But thats all

[rare swan]

I say Nate didn't get shafted and y'all turn on Kalos tf

[lilac crescent]

Speaking of which, where's our NC Kris?

[unkempt vortex]

Silver ain’t getting one

When do rivals get anything

[rare swan]

Who else is getting it if not Silver

[rare swan]

Galar NCs:

[unkempt vortex]

Ethan and lyra

[lilac crescent]

Kris needs more alts.

She only appeared in one mainline game.

[hasty umbra]

I wouldn't be opposed, he'd be an instant skip

[crisp oracle]

I will say the Kalos alts are so well designed

[rare swan]

Silver getting that egg from Eusine was a pretty clear indicator something else is coming for him

[unkempt vortex]

Variety

[lost bobcat]

Silver & togepi

[crisp oracle]

Silver and Egg

[lost bobcat]

Bad egg

[crisp oracle]

Bad Apple

[lilac crescent]

Sliver and Pichu

[lost bobcat]

I fear Johto nc bcs possible mega Scizor Tyranitar

But hopefully I don't think will happen soon

[feral vale]

The region of good fashion, my man

[lilac crescent]

True!

[hard wave]

Have to get in to lumiose boutique somehow

[dark oar]

Inb4 Silver gets an Elekid heh

[crisp oracle]

SC Diantha has the best design in my absolute unbiased opinion

[tardy fiber]

Let them ride the lizards in bike form inside pokemon center, for sure that will give them more personality

Also ride the bike at the start of the battle animation

[lilac crescent]

Well. They go to a school where they have to wear almost the exact same uniform. What do you expect?

[tardy fiber]

I like that she got hairpin of similar color with keldeo resolute form hair feathers

A minor detail but i do like when SC alts especially to have some details that are related with their partner pokemon, recent SC kinda failed to do that...like theres no correlation between sc lyra rocket uniform with phanphy

Pokewar sc kinda superb with those alts have similar designs with their partners

Sc Rosa also wears gracidea iirc

[rare swan]

Give her an alt with her hair down

[crisp oracle]

my pfp is sc diantha with her hair down

it's the only fanart I found with her hair down

[tardy fiber]

I like when DeNa artists are brave and goes out of the norm like hat less brendan, braided hair lusamine and the like

Its nice to see different side of characters

[crisp oracle]

i feel like the alt quality has gone no where

it's not bad

it's m e d i o c r e

[unkempt vortex]

Why try when people pull regardless

Look at variety

[lilac crescent]

Looks.

Camera.

Action. Literally.

[lost bobcat]

The scLyra is just a name, that's the costume she was wearing to infiltrate Team Rocket in hgss
SC have their own themes depending on release
First ones were Pokewar themed
The spring ones were the Alice in Wonderland themed (rabbit, mad hatter, tweedleedee, tweedledum, red queen and Alice)
The last spring we had the detective/thieves thing
And Rosa, was the ambassador event

Some costumes are really related tontheir partner (may is a literal rabbit) some others like scLyra can't

[tardy fiber]

True but
Pokewar has guzma that wear buzzwole like armor, jasmine wearing kimono like Celesteela design, diantha with keldeo hair ornament, hilda with dress with diancie color and design

Tea party
Lillie with some clothes that maid wear and maid usually bring teapot so fit with polteageist, sc sonia with dress design like tsareena

Sc rosa with gracidea flower on her neck

But the detective sc ...hehe

I guess only zinnia similar with thievul

[hard wave]

What about submas

[lost bobcat]

🧐

[lost bobcat]

The tweedle twins

[tardy fiber]

Submas also kinda mid, no element of their partners at their costume

Okay shauna got klefki bag so she got a pass too

[lost bobcat]

I think they fit perfectly in the Alice theme (twins and related pokemon)
don't like them but they look fine

Ye shauna is the gadgeteer

Steven is the brain

[tardy fiber]

It will be better if the blue color change to escavalier red then i can see they got some similarities

[lost bobcat]

Don't check his EX

[wide yew]

Is every alt obligated to follow sygna suit design principles now

[unkempt vortex]

No

[tardy fiber]

Well i know their roles in the event but sc shauna got a pass from me because her design have klefki elements on it, same like zinnia with thievul elements

[lost bobcat]

No

[tardy fiber]

Others are just lazy alts

[wide yew]

so this is no issue then

[tardy fiber]

No issue, just lazy i guess

[tawny cedar]

Is it really worth saving my move candy for a field or sprint fave over ncblue?

Because blue will always be my top no 1 character fave

[lost bobcat]

Def yes

Until we known they'll get a constant drop like the others (has mostly tondo with number of units)
Is better save for now

[tardy fiber]

As long as the duration to form field or sprint candy aint the same with other 3 candies, it is better to save yellow candy as their substitute

For now it took around 2 months to form tech/striker/support...around 3 months for field/sprint and 4/5 months for yellow

And you want to exchange 4/5 months candy to be 2 months candy

[winged fossil]

oh cool, forgot the giveaway thing was tonights reset

thats ||one multi|| more than i expected for anni savings

[versed flame]

free 300 gems 🎉

[winged fossil]

i might actually break 40k exiting the month between this and the rally, ive lost track a bit on how much i was expecting to land at

which i feel is pretty good all things considered, unless i get fav jumpscared in feb

as long as febs a skip month for me, im chillin

[rare swan]

Gem update - I almost had a really satisfying number and then I grabbed the daily 20 by accident

[dark oar]

I have sinned. ;-;

[unkempt vortex]

Repent sinner

[spring ginkgo]

I burst all my gems on ||cynthia||

Im sad and i dont feel like playing the game

[rare swan]

Not really the thread for this

(Although a good example for why we don't pull without a pity )

[spring ginkgo]

I do have pity just that i hyped myself up to get her and save for half anni

[cunning swan]

brace yourself for a pity so everything will be a pleasant surprise

[rare swan]

There's still time to save for half anni as well

[lunar thistle]

If I will have 5k gems at the end of this month

Can I get a pity before 0.5 anni

[oak crest]

it depends on the gem count

[stable ginkgo]

What banner should I summon in as a new player

[oak crest]

hard to tell if dena will repeat the same thing back on 4th anni

[stable ginkgo]

I'm unsure so I don't wanna put my gems into the wrong banner

[oak crest]

try #poma-questions , this is a place where ppl seek support on saving gems

[stable ginkgo]

Thx

[crisp grotto]

10000 + 3000 gems left this month, so if next month has a gem count of more than 18.6k you should be able to reach pity by half anni

Next month's gem count would need to be 31k+ for that to happen

Oh

Never mind then I misread that

[lunar thistle]

I mean in general

[lunar thistle]

But 0.5 anni goes on for like half the month of Mar right

[oak crest]

yeah

and the half anni banners will last for abt a month as well

if you are looking to save up for 1 of those

[lunar thistle]

So I actually have two months

[violet nebula]

Quite close to that, yes

[tawny cedar]

If I get ||nywallace|| on my alt should i skip getting him on my main during his 2025 rerun?

I really like his kit and playstyle but idk if getting him on alt is enough

[rare swan]

that sounds like a very personal decision

[lost bobcat]

Seasonal reruns have horrible and unfair ratios, now it's 0,33 and it will go even lower next year
If you have some extent of paid gems, the 3k selects during anni are quite nice
If you don't, I'll suggest to enjoy your alt, that's the exact reasion why ppl have alts

[tawny cedar]

I can't get paid gems

So if I do get ||nywallace|| on the alt I should I skip his reruns on main?

[lost bobcat]

I believe yes
You can play him on alt anytime after all
Also it sound you just enjoy his kit and not bcs a fav
So I think you're good this way

[topaz compass]

How do I add this thread into my list again? I don't see it unless linked

[bleak falcon]

The Follow button

[topaz compass]

OK it appears to be active now

Ty

I had to get back in this group to stay strong

[feral vale]

You know what’s nice?

I had two future base favs to save for. One just came off my list!

[hasty umbra]

bold of you to assume they won't spam us with alts...

damn you Galar

What did Galar do?

[feral vale]

Oops! All Galar Alts!

[gloomy holly]

Hoenn NCs

[feral vale]

Trying to remember which year we had that was swarming with them

[upbeat lotus]

Literally 2022

[violet nebula]

And Lillies... Lillie everywhere

There be a neo champion Lillie.. watch🤣

[unkempt vortex]

It’ll be another lillie alt before gladion

[violet nebula]

Though low key... Erica, Mallow, Morty also seem to be loved at Dena

[unkempt vortex]

Mallow isn’t as bad as lillie or morty

[violet nebula]

Rosa

[hard wave]

Erika hasnt gotten anything since her SS, maybe her EX

[crisp grotto]

Doesn't Mallow have a single alt?

[unkempt vortex]

Rosa is about the average for female mc

Variety and pal

[violet nebula]

That employee got sacked by Dena🤣

[hard wave]

Mallow got 1 alt and a variety, morty does have a lot of units but 2 are asset re use

[crisp grotto]

She was the first character victim to the "too many alts" complaints

[violet nebula]

Hence no more Erica

[crisp grotto]

Ah right variety

[unkempt vortex]

Serena is the real problem

[violet nebula]

Gloria

[unkempt vortex]

Glora too

[violet nebula]

Galar needs to burn

[unkempt vortex]

Don’t think I forgot about you either marnie

[violet nebula]

Leon... ehhh

Some of the worst characters in the franchise

[topaz compass]

I got a rhyme for you:

Alola NC, is fine by me

Hopefully they are MF too, that is why I'm here to save

[lilac crescent]

Name a character without a alt.

[unkempt vortex]

Clay

And most gym leaders in general

Some of the rivals too

[feral vale]

Ash

[unkempt vortex]

Jessie and James

[violet nebula]

Chuck

Not even in game😆

[unkempt vortex]

There are a lot of gym leaders still missing

[feral vale]

He is in the game, but in NPC hell rn

[tawny cedar]

Got ||nywallace|| on alt

Now i don't have to get him on main acc

That's one less rerun

Only 3 reruns remain

[topaz compass]

They should be giving us those gym leaders as spotlights

Clearly they won't make it in as PFs or higher

[vestal leaf]

Considering 3 of them were added as spotlights in last 6 months

That's the expectation yes

[broken mulch]

Watch Wattson be the most op electric sync pair ever when he gets released lol

[lean mango]

hell yeaa

[upbeat lotus]

Master Fair Wattson

[dark oar]

D:

the last hoenn gym leader to be added into the game, gets master fair treatment?

I guess MF Chuck would also be ideal ;-;

[fallen path]

That would be electric

[upbeat lotus]

The one who powercreeps Ash

[pure arrow]

m_bison_saying_yes.gif

I do expect him to debut as a spotlight like Ryuki and Lenora, but odds are his kit’s still gonna be nice

[upbeat lotus]

[lilac crescent]

I hope Ash doesn't get a rerun.

[unkempt vortex]

I don’t know why you’d say that

We already know he’s never rerunning

[lilac crescent]

Oh.

I forgot.

[dark oar]

If he ever gets a rerun.... he'd probably sport a new alt.

its a big IF though.

(I'm so gonna laugh if we ever get him with Tech EX Role though)

[lilac crescent]

Imagine him with the Sprint EX Role.

[winged fossil]

wait i just realized

training rally

...huh.

long time no see, glorious thing

no stamina missions to go with it, but its nice to see them actually boost the training

[dark oar]

I think i only farmed 2 days worth of the rally 😮

before Iono's event went up

[winged fossil]

i did zero lmao i was focused on the event shops

cause i only have one NY unit

did most of my daily stuff last minute... didnt get into the Lodge in time for the day, oh well.

was so distracted for most of the day

[lost bobcat]

Farmed shittons of feathers

[winged fossil]

hell i even dumped the past day of stamina onto those events

ill prob grab a day or two of feathers before i look at the iono event

[vestal leaf]

I got like 300 feathers and yet only 2 decent gears

Zzz

[lunar thistle]

I'm trying to not pull agaib

It's taking a bunch of willpower

[vestal leaf]

Log in after reset
Do minimum + stamina
Don't log in til day after
Don't stay in this server too much

[lunar thistle]

I'm trying

I wonder should I just not log on during dead resets

[unkempt vortex]

Touch grass

[lunar thistle]

Sure I lose 100 gems but

Or like log in for the login rewards and then don't even do dailies

[vestal leaf]

Doing dailies barely takes 2 mins

It's not that big of a temptation

[maiden kayak]

u know the trick to avoid it , is actually not even go to the gacha page for daily item ||pulls||

[upbeat lotus]

Fortunately doing daily pulls is not required for daily missions anymore

[rare swan]

yeah, the daily scout is very skippable if you're struggling with pulling urges

[lunar thistle]

What's the fastest set of daily missions you can do

[upbeat lotus]

Level someone up by 1 level

Lodge interacting may cost a lot of time

[rare swan]

do a single sync orb stage

[lunar thistle]

So it's the stamina, level up, sync or?

Orb

There's this feeling I have to fight that if I have gems I should use them period

[rare swan]

orb

[maiden kayak]

no just giving 1 level up book works i tried

[hard wave]

Same but theme skills, I have like 2100 rn and all my units are maxed

[lost bobcat]

The only thing I'm lacking are the middle drinks (Ultra+ and Drink++)
But I refuse to farm them

Just getting from events

Lodge and other events free units are not helping in this, we're getting either tech or supports

[hard wave]

Im conflicted because techs and supports are more helpful than strikers but we get mostly 4* striker candies and like 2 at most for the other 2

[crisp oracle]

lads, I have just discovered that a way to save in PoMa is to spend that pulling itch on another gacha game

[unkempt vortex]

Well that’s a given

Just play more gacha games

[crisp oracle]

It's incredible what spending gems like no tomorrow on FIFA does for me in PoMa

if I can get my dopamine rush in on another game, now I have absolutely no desire for any of the units this month ||other than SSA which I planned to get in my two-year plan||

[lost bobcat]

Got 60 strike 4* candies and I'm not even exchanging from events
We got EV/BP/TL 4* units:
9 Strike, 12 Tech, 22 Supps
Considering strike eats 4 candies each, they're def flooding us with those and cutting tech n support ones

[lilac crescent]

Dang.

[hard wave]

We have 43 of them? 25 lodge, 13 BP, 4 event (3 basically because of bugscy )

I have 16 4* strike atm but im only missing gloria

Im trying to 5/5 all my 4*s just cuz but im doing it through lodge stones, still have 7 left

I have 5 left for BP and ill do a mix of tickets/candies if I can, its all the supports besides clemont

[tardy fiber]

I already did this since quite a while back, playing 3 other gachas alongside poma, and also Yu-Gi-Oh master duel...that one is easier, i just do 1 deck, grab some staples and done, my card deck will be viable for ranked matches

Tower of god is quite a nice game too, keep getting enough for multi pulls every 2 or 3 days

[lilac crescent]

Yo! That's a good idea! (My bad. Didn't mean to ping.)

I'mma go try that out.

[tardy fiber]

Reverse 1999 doesn't care about meta much, there's no pvp like poma and the 1.0 characters are still usable till the latest patch

Finally is Honkai Star Rail, well there's some meta here and there but the banner from pity carries...oh forgot to mention, that tower of god is the same with pity gets carried over but it plays like idle game so hsr is better in that regard

Oh reverse 1999 limited characters will go to general pool in future patches so thats kinda cool i guess

1.1 limiteds enter general pool in 1.5 and 1.2 becomes general pool in 1.6

[crisp oracle]

I’ve been playing FIFA and the powercreep is worse than FEH

[tardy fiber]

Usually those games with pvp will have meta so i try to avoid those types

[crisp oracle]

Also gacha games are usually considered ethical issues by some but fifa is an entire category of ethics all to itself.

There is no pity and instead of exact odds they give you <0.1%

[tardy fiber]

Oh thats like marvel contest of champions

[crisp oracle]

It’s EA tbf

Nothing they do is for our benefit

[tardy fiber]

3% to get a 6% with no pity system

[unkempt vortex]

Man

Ea gacha don’t remind me

I used to be a sinner and play one

[crisp oracle]

FIFA is a gacha and don’t let anyone tell you different

[tardy fiber]

Oh marvel strike force is kinda cool, it has meta but you can farm the characters you wanted slowly shards by shards so you can get everything in time...but i had to leave it as my device no longer supports it...sadge

[unkempt vortex]

I used to play madden mobile

And I hate football

[tardy fiber]

Final fantasy war of the visions also like that

[unkempt vortex]

Literally only because people in class were playing it

Clash royale is a gacha that hardly matters

[crisp oracle]

For the money so many people drop on EA products, EA can’t do hairlines very well

[unkempt vortex]

As long as your deck isn’t terrible you can win

[crisp oracle]

On EA FC Mobile is having an event rn with new cards. These cards are going obsolete next week lmao

[tardy fiber]

Oh thats like yugioh, i just make 1 deck and it will be viable for a long time

[unkempt vortex]

You mean the feh problem?

Releases units only to be countered by someone 2 weeks later

[tardy fiber]

Wow thats a fast meta change

[unkempt vortex]

That’s how bad feh is

It’s only gotten worse over the years by making skill descriptions just as long as a tcg

some which take up the entire screen

[tardy fiber]

Feh have pvp? If it has, urgh that trend feels toxic

[unkempt vortex]

Feh has had it for years
