Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[tardy fiber]

Because i knew when select scout appears, they appear in droves

And like need 9k - 15k for 3 selects

[zenith eagle]

I guess I should also save 9k gems for these

[tardy fiber]

So far only new year cost 5k per select

Anni and half anni cost 3k

[zenith eagle]

But those were really good selects right?

Oo so there are selects for half anni?

[tardy fiber]

Last year didn't have

But last two year got

First ever seasonal select

[zenith eagle]

I'm honestly just saving for whenever I can get ||Penny and SS Hau||

[tardy fiber]

Well last year got free lodge guest select

Penny might appear for fairy HS

But next month is psychic hs

Well anni got good select

If it follow new year, u can select penny

[strange trout]

Fairy HS sounds like a horrible time

[zenith eagle]

I'm gonna remain patient until they appear on good selects so no worries there

[tardy fiber]

So far the types that i dont have 15 pairs are:
Normal, Ice, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Flying, Bug, Dragon, Dark, Fairy

Ground is the worst with only 9

Oh i checked pomatools, there's only 14 ground pairs

[chrome nest]

Y’all do highscore events?

[tardy fiber]

I did the bare minimum

[broken mulch]

180k bros

Other than our first one Water

[tardy fiber]

🤝

[broken mulch]

I do it mostly out of the goodness of my heart to allow other people a chance at the medal

… but also because I’m too lazy to tryhard LMAO

[tardy fiber]

I thought of doing it if dupe medal rewards 10 but it doesn't give those PUs

[hard wave]

Yeah u can only claim it once since its permanent

[winged fossil]

i might grind out some fights if im feeling like it, but uhh, if i dont got much in the type i usually wont bother beyond trying to go 180k

got medal on fire hse, havent tried much higher than 180k anywhere else

(grass hse's bar was lower than i expected but i already had medal and i assume it was same for some other people, even tho that medal was prob achievable f2p)

think at most in that one, maybe SS Leaf owners had an advantage on the f2p side, but i think most f2p barring really old ones prob went something else + blue free pickup from sskantrio unless they stan the kantrio or someth

(or if they just, didnt bother researching rerolls or something perhaps)

ill prob have to skip out of trying for much on psychic cause moving in march and im really sick rn, not sure if ill have the energy to bother with psychic even if my box isnt completely dead for it. mostly screwed by move levels on the ones i do have prob

[topaz compass]

Seems like most of my Cake coins will be traded for support

[tardy fiber]

Same

[topaz compass]

Since I want to cake all MF first

[tardy fiber]

I gonna trade for 18 support cake coins in 2 resets

[topaz compass]

I have a strike coin almost ready naturally but no MF to use it on

I'm guessing we won't get even more MF reruns next month though just 2-3 new ones

[tardy fiber]

They might rerun alongside new ones just like leon with galar birbs, and this current one even incorporate it in the event aether family, so i think annisteven might rerun in hoenn NC

[valid flint]

I have reached the 30k threshold before anni

[dark oar]

28k atm with 2.7k gems o/
if we get 3k from the presents, i'll be at 31k non-paid o/

[tardy fiber]

87k gems

Hope half anni doesn't have many faves

[topaz compass]

3k from presents makes February a decent gem count. But I'm sure they plan to cheap out on March because of it

[bleak falcon]

I’d put at at either a 50/50 or more in favor of increased gem count due to half-anniversary

[chrome nest]

A reminder for me to continue saving is getting shafted by tickets and other games (Like Dokkan)

[broken mulch]

I haven’t pulled in months on my other gacha

[timber wren]

feb/mar last year were 32/33k

[crisp oracle]

Solid count

But what was September 2023?

[timber wren]

#1010223517565976737

25k

[crisp oracle]

25-27k, I wonder why Anni trends lower than half anni

[timber wren]

anni gems are backloaded in august

and feb

[crisp oracle]

Why backload though, especially as more people join on anni month

[timber wren]

those gems are available thru anni monh they just drop at the end of feb/aug

like the logins ad presents

[crisp oracle]

Ah dropping at the end makes sense

Im assuming this year we're getting the anni event on feb 29

[timber wren]

should be the 28th

[crisp oracle]

then again, it's DeNa

[compact pasture]

Will we get anything on the 29th?

[timber wren]

it was the 28th on 0.5 2.5 and 3.5

[compact pasture]

What happened to 1.5?

[vestal leaf]

Leon pain

[timber wren]

he and marnie released on the 26th

[vernal glade]

Leon was also the first ever master fair to be released.

[feral vale]

[timber wren]

not sure why you think that should be posted in here, even in spoilers

[gloomy holly]

Ok

[timber wren]

thanks

[winged fossil]

capped cake coins for the month with a week to spare

really happy with my progress on the rally gamemode, got spending to 300 this week

[topaz compass]

I've been lucky with limited units on the free x10 pulls. But one of my 3 limited was Tina

[untold tide]

at least you are getting limited units

[feral vale]

I can wholeheartedly say I am fully ready for Anni. Will be going in to datamine at like 60k.

[chrome nest]

Y’all are getting limiteds off the tickets?

[strange trout]

Y'all are getting 5*s off the tickets?

[feral vale]

I sadly only got a dupe so far from the tickets, but I’ll only say it’s a Field, so it saves a candy

[warm scarab]

||Akari||?

[feral vale]

Literally ||every other Field pair I owned (except Variety Thorton, which I only use once), is 5/5, so…candied her.||

[compact pasture]

Should I wait until 10 tickets or start using them?

[feral vale]

Genuinely up to you

Just make sure you use them before expiration either way

[compact pasture]

When do they expire?

[feral vale]

I believe it’ll say in the News.

[winged fossil]

3/25

Says in ticket screen

[strange trout]

On reset btw so your last chance is 24th

[winged fossil]

||One of only five stars I’ve seen is a dupe alder btw lmao||

||like when am I gonna use that game||

[untold tide]

Got a dupe of og gladion

Absolutely useless

A Mallow dupe from today did get her to 3/5, though, so at least it didn't get wasted

[feral vale]

I don’t think gen pool mentions need to be spoiled?

Especially since people can just try to pull for them with tickets, not needing to use gems

[untold tide]

Noted

[feral vale]

Og Gladion dupe tho, oof

[untold tide]

It's utterly, utterly useless

Meanwhile my Lillie has been at 0/5

[feral vale]

[untold tide]

Literally missing Olympia and Colress and so many useful gen pools

And game's throwing me dupes like 6/5 plumeria and 4/5 gladion

[dark oar]

Im missin lenora and ryuki

[versed flame]

i finally rolled Elesa this week, still missing lillie, glacia, kukui and olympia

[tardy fiber]

I got Ryuki from these free pulls, still missing melony, lenora, drasna

[oak crest]

nice

im lacking Ryuki, Drasna, Lenora and coping for more Olympia dupes(she's only 1/5 atm)

[tardy fiber]

Oh my ryuki, drasna, lucian are all 2/5 so another copy might be nice

[ashen thunder]

Only 2 limiteds and one of which is a dupe

Still coping for Olympia dupes since HS is close

[oak crest]

Lucian at 3/5 is a fantastic guage battery

[tardy fiber]

I kinda use him for legendary adventures elite four mission requirement

But DeNa doesn't run that event anymore

[oak crest]

i kinda still use him as a guage battery unit + spd buffer if I'm using a support unit that cant buff the team's speed (SSAC)

[topaz compass]

All but a couple units are useful if you go for LG streak

[cobalt frost]

ive been locked out of my account from the error 10102 thing
and this is like

the WORST time to have that happen to me man

masters day is literally tommorow

i tried so much to fix it and literally nothing is working

support is also out for the weekend right

i sent an inquiry in the small chance it helps but god

[dark oar]

10102, does the game just auto close after a while?

[cobalt frost]

no im stuck on the title screen

originally it let me press start and then it auto closed while loading
i tried clearing the cache and reinstalling but then it just auto closes immediately and i dont get a chance to do anything

[dark oar]

Have you tried connecting to a different Wifi Network?

[cobalt frost]

yes

ive tried using both wifi and phone data, ive used multiple vpns, ive restarted my phone, updated my phone

[dark oar]

you reinstalled and it auto closes immediately?

[cobalt frost]

yea

[dark oar]

like do you get to PMEX splash screen?

[cobalt frost]

i get to the start but it doesnt show the pmex logo

[dark oar]

after tapping away from the DeNa logo and whatnot

[cobalt frost]

and the press start thing

[dark oar]

then it autocloses while doing nothing?

[cobalt frost]

yea

[dark oar]

Is your phone rooted?

[cobalt frost]

no

it works on literally everything else perfectly

[dark oar]

i'd check your internal storage, any suspicious files/folders, move then to a different folder or rename them.

its likely false flagging something in your internal storage

like some new file, some new folder

just rename them or move them to a different folder

if you want more help, ask in #poma-questions

[lilac crescent]

40k for me.

[sturdy flower]

same but add 1 in front of your number

[vestal leaf]

I thought this was #1010275375730925638 not #gacha-and-flex

[vestal leaf]

🤝

[lilac crescent]

What's the zen in the title for?

[strange trout]

To fool ourselves into remaining calm while we mald

[timber wren]

genuine answer: it was the original title back when chest created this area as a sub thread in #poma-lounge around 2nd anni. it’s grown a bit since then

[lilac crescent]

I see...

[topaz compass]

Zen is about reaching enlightenment, is it not? So gem zen means you have evolved beyond the gems. You control the gems, they don't control you.

[sly breach]

Why do i still have this topic pinned

[sturdy flower]

you subconsciously yearn for saving...

[sly breach]

And i am consciously a gambler

[grim plover]

Back to 1 pity ready for the anni

[winged fossil]

Doing really well all things considered, haven’t done Perma villa yet or Thorton

Also have like a couple hundred gems in pair stories prob and the family ties story cutscenes

[topaz compass]

It's weird to me that people will spend time to talk about the gems they haven't spent the time earning, instead of just earning them

[winged fossil]

Well in Thorton case it’s a really tight clear so I’d rather wait for skill slots so it’s easier

Cause would need ice guard on blue to make it reasonable

Meanwhile villa I just haven’t had energy for with being sick, no skip anymore so

[compact pasture]

It’s the last clear ever?

[winged fossil]

Yeah no more monthly villa resets. They told us this quite a while ago

Hence why we can’t floor skip anymore

Instead we manually reset villa for a small amount of scrolls per run and such beyond our first clear

[tardy fiber]

I need to check my scroll amounts, that might be a problem as i also use scrolls on shiny eggmons so my expenses increases

Oh i still have 788, enough for 157 5*...might be less with each shiny eggmons I get

Might be lesser in this period as i have 0 shiny meowths last run

Hope to get some this time

[compact pasture]

Reset doesn’t give gems

[tardy fiber]

Yep but it give lucky scrolls if do full run

And some cookies

I just gonna wait for blissful bonanza

It's shops also sell scrolls

[untold tide]

Selene dupe when grass hse already passed

And dead poma day multi

[tardy fiber]

Hurm 10 grid energy based on move levels, alright i guess...so my faves mostly will have 6 extra energy if each move level gives 2

My general pool, event and legendary adventures faves will benefit from it mostly as they are all 5/5

[untold tide]

I'm shaking my irida and ss silver
The fact that I went to save a pity for ss silver (literally got him 363/400) is finally paying off

[tardy fiber]

Its always good to save for a pity, you wont know when you will need it

My fave this month cost me a pity

[tawny cedar]

How many gems could we get for anni?

25k+?

[mossy hawk]

Expecting that amount

[tardy fiber]

Hopefully

With the amount of gems lately, the safe estimate is more than 10k

[mossy hawk]

More like, realistically

25k is not a good amount for anni

[tardy fiber]

Like we barely touch 23k gems this month

Its not so good because lots of monthly content getting cut

Like monthly bonanza and legendary arena mission

And rally replacing villa is also 800 gems deficit

[tawny cedar]

Man I need datamine to arrive already

My anxiety is thought the roof

[tardy fiber]

So like this month lost 800 villa difference + 1000 legendary arena + 500+ bonanza (i forgot how much bonanza gives in total) but if you complete all the final prize gives you 500 gems

After burn 2k stamina

So like losing around 2k+ of gems

[tardy fiber]

92,880 gems before datamine well if datamine is tomorrow

[rare swan]

very confident it will be

esp with the letter dropping

[tardy fiber]

Oh right, i better preset cs teams...i didn't do it this week and its a bit hectic during csmm reset

[dark cliff]

Choco curry sounds tasty tho

[tardy fiber]

I thought it is available in Japan, i watched it on TV show once

[feral vale]

Sonic Curry

[upbeat lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/mukbang-food-mukbang-gifs-asmr-mukbang-korean-food-gif-22408425

[tardy fiber]

Oh right, does the lucky skill and grid energy upgrade arrives during next update? I wonder how many scrolls needed for lucky skills on my 74 faves

[upbeat lotus]

looks like there is no unlocking requirement

[tardy fiber]

I dont mind grid energy, last time i checked...my co-op orbs are around 900k

[upbeat lotus]

everyone just suddenly has 2 additional slots

[tardy fiber]

Oh nice so still use the initial 5 scrolls for 5* pairs

Eggmon uses 3, i forgot how many scrolls for 4* pairs

[upbeat lotus]

eggmons only uses one

3 and 4* use 3 and 4 scrolls

[tardy fiber]

Oh neat so my stock wont be dwindling much, i feel demotivated when i heard that we need to do full 30 rooms villa to get few scrolls not like their hp mp recovers after every battle

[winged fossil]

i dont know whether to be happy or upset with the results of the tickets so far tbh

||on one hand, had two sparks. on the other hand, a dupe of a 2020 unit and a first copy of a 2020 unit||

[compact pasture]

Wait, the dev letter is out?

[lost bobcat]

Considering limited have 2% total, that's nice
If the dupe brought extra grid and not that's good imo

Free is free after all

[winged fossil]

bleh, the energy is locked by move level

atleast it caps at 10, i guess, but im betting at most we'll expect like +6 to 3/5 grids

if not less

[upbeat lotus]

still a W for accessible units

[winged fossil]

yeah, just was hoping itd be more accessible than possibly needing 4/5 or 5/5 MFs for certain grids

3 lucky skill slots without mention of a requirement is real nice tho

glad they at least gave us some info ahead of presents + datamine

[tardy fiber]

Its a win for me if its 2 energy per level, so my faves will have at least +6

Most of my preferred grid lack like 1/2 energy anyways but i already planned for my legendary adventures pairs, spotlight faves, oak and victrier

Now my sync nuke Oak will also have first aid 4, extra protection

[winged fossil]

Yeah atleast there’s a lot of gen and free units that are gonna have nice qol with this. And no matter what this should fix ||gladion|| grids

So many units in my box that even 1 energy fixes so this is pog either way

Especially since it means we don’t need a resource for 1-3 energy

3 slots for lucky skills is one less than I expected but it’s still nice as well. Enough for hs1, adr1, and vigilance on every tank

Don’t think there’s many cases where you’d need more than two deluxe options and one standard option, barring something like a healthy healing gauntlet clear

[next tide]

I got 22450 gems atm, will i be able to go for atleast 2 anni units?

[tardy fiber]

1 is guaranteed, another 1 need to see how the first one goes

[next tide]

yay

[tardy fiber]

Because even if next month gives 30k gems, 2 pities require 73200 gems

[next tide]

So waiting for the banner priority tierlist chart for next month and deciding the best anni pair to go for would be the best decision?( like previous half anni Marnie was the best )

[winged fossil]

If you just care for meta I guess? If there’s a fav it’s typically better to ignore priority chart and go with said fav ofc. In terms of anni units they’ll prob stay till at least the next datamine if they aren’t fav

I wouldn’t touch banners without favs personally

[tardy fiber]

Well i think grab the one you like is the best, as you will throw the unit once a better unit appears if you chase meta so you will keep pulling

[winged fossil]

Yeah

[topaz compass]

@upbeat lotus tiny Japanese women doing eating challenges on youtube is somewhat popular right? I probably shouldn't look into it or I will develop an unhealthy interest

[compact pasture]

[upbeat lotus]

[tardy fiber]

[strange trout]

I don't see how that helps me save gems

[tardy fiber]

Done 5/5 Riley right before datamine

I think i will just not claim codexes

There's like 2/3 events that i havent claim codex yet

[crisp oracle]

I fail to see how mukbangs will help me save gems

[tardy fiber]

Well cannot buy gems if you use it to buy foods

[unkempt vortex]

Food won’t get you shiny jpeg

[lost bobcat]

Claim orbs if you feel to, if next update we get grid enery increase there will be some orb dump

[tardy fiber]

I think im alright

I kinda want to dump it anyway

I even ignore orbs from event shop these past few months but it adds more than what i used

Cannot wait to overhaul all of my pairs

[unkempt vortex]

Lodge will do that

[tardy fiber]

10 energy is kinda great

[unkempt vortex]

Same with skip tickets

[tardy fiber]

I keep buying skip tickets because i feel like i used it alot for events but yet the amount kinda has a slight increase each time

[strange trout]

I never buy skip tickets and they still increase

[hard wave]

What happens when you go over the limit?

Im guessing temp storage?

[tardy fiber]

Not sure there's probably no limit...like Chest's gems is more than my orbs and it still counting

Chest gems is over 1 mil

[strange trout]

Cap is at 999,999

You just can't claim any more

[hard wave]

Yeah I thought they said that was the new cap

[tardy fiber]

Oh orbs only got 999,999 cap?

[strange trout]

Yeah

Used to be 99,999

[tardy fiber]

So only gems got increase cap? To exceed 999,999

[strange trout]

Gems never had a cap

Free gems at least

[tardy fiber]

Paid gems got 80k cap

[strange trout]

I think paid gems has a cap, or a purchase limit

Yeah

[tardy fiber]

I once almost reached it so i had to spend on summer twins tiered

SmTate cost me full tiered

For 1 copy

I think i gonna do extra lucky skill slowly, mainly for those tech pairs that also can function as tankers

Next update will be fun

[topaz compass]

I'm actually impressed they are giving the grid energy cap already

I thought they would tease us another 3 months

[tardy fiber]

Quicker update, quicker temptation for people to 5/5 their pairs for energy

[topaz compass]

EoS after 5th anni confirmed

[tardy fiber]

But surprisingly im not that mad, well it gives more incentive for people that 5/5 faves

Not really sure if its eos as pokemon will keep adding contents

Who knows what new mainline game they will reveal later

[topaz compass]

I'll make arceus my first and only 5/5 MF if the kit makes sense to do so. God above all others

[tardy fiber]

Hopefully it will function like silvally, as if it stays normal type...standard damage reduction param will hurt

Part of the reason i no longer use palmer on cs

[topaz compass]

I actually want it to stay normal precisely so my regigigas in paid select has a purpose lol

Just make the enemy weak to normal type

[compact pasture]

Normal type rebuff!

[topaz compass]

Though if it only makes it weak in battle that wouldn't solve the CS parameter issue

Making the enemy take SE damage from normal type would allow SC Steven to help Regigigas more

[ashen thunder]

Hilbert aim but for all types

[topaz compass]

Nah too boring, doesn't help the other normal units

[hard wave]

Does SE damage but lowers normal and SE rebuff by 1 each turn

[compact pasture]

How many rebuff stacks is the maximum?

[ashen thunder]

That's why Hilbert aim

Gives rebuff for all se types

[hard wave]

3

[ashen thunder]

So just cope for a normal weak content

[sturdy flower]

3 lucky cookies skills to choose from > energy or new units

[tardy fiber]

Normal HS but yea HS enemies never weak to the featured typing

[bronze tulip]

50k gems and counting...

[tardy fiber]

92k gems before datamine...it should be 95k if i didnt press wrong banner

[ashen thunder]

13k coz I am clown

Hopefully they give 23k next patch

[tardy fiber]

30k please

[bronze tulip]

I kinda regret ||pulling Lucas last month... but at the same time it's a good boost and it wasn't pity||

Got ||shafted on SS Gladion||

[tardy fiber]

I need to be comfortable for April which is SC month and 30k on March might help

[bronze tulip]

But well... ||I always do pull on masterfairs so I am kinda used to it. Still hurts tho||

[ashen thunder]

well I am only missing 2 rerun priorities now
(Technically 4 but I ain't pulling kommo-o or payquaza, hoping for freebie)

[bronze tulip]

Usually any non new masterfair month is a skip

[ashen thunder]

I can actually save for like 11ish months

As long they don't bait me

[tardy fiber]

Payquazza wont be a freebie though

[ashen thunder]

We got PF 100 pull

It's inevitable

But ofc

[bronze tulip]

If anni n or steven rerun that soon im in danger

[ashen thunder]

Not in next 3 years

[tardy fiber]

Glad to see much annisteven love here

[sturdy flower]

I'm saving all 100 pull rolls to do them all at once

[ashen thunder]

I always loved payquaza, it's just suk gameplay

[sturdy flower]

if i do it daily i feel the shafts more

[ashen thunder]

I am doing daily so I don't mald after getting shaft in 10 days

[tardy fiber]

Hopefully EXR will save him

[ashen thunder]

No exr will save payquaza

[bronze tulip]

Love? Tsch. He's scuffed. ||But ig i do wanna pull him and also to complete the mf collection||

[sturdy flower]

the last one is on anni anyways so there will be plenty to be excited even if i get nothing

[ashen thunder]

Gonna have to wait for inevitable MF grid expansion

[tardy fiber]

Well support EX can make him much better

[bronze tulip]

[ashen thunder]

that's the problem

[sturdy flower]

YANCY WHEN WILL YOU COME TO PASIO

[ashen thunder]

You aren't syncing with him coz it's good

And we be getting supp+sprint these days

[lunar thistle]

NEVAH

[ashen thunder]

which is more incentive for sync

[lunar thistle]

Well hlpefully never at least

[tardy fiber]

At least now there's more reason to sync with him...support sync

[sturdy flower]

supp+sprint is awesome

[sturdy flower]

that's what they say about RIley, fools

[tardy fiber]

Like paulo?

[ashen thunder]

nate got alt
Anything possible

[sturdy flower]

Paulo is not joining my pairs unless i get unlucky

[tardy fiber]

Selene and Elio still shafted

[sturdy flower]

surely Alola half anni...

[tardy fiber]

For getting any different costume

[grim plover]

not for so long

[tardy fiber]

Elio Melmetal and Selene Zeraora

[ashen thunder]

Half anni is mega M2 X and Sygna suit illusion Red

[sturdy flower]

stop spoiling 5th anni

[ashen thunder]

Steven is always bait before red

And psy HS next

The stars align

[bronze tulip]

Wanna trade my Paulo? I got him from ticket scout

😉

[grim plover]

thats why we're getting alola anni

alolan red & blue

[ashen thunder]

Oh yea that's also possible

[tardy fiber]

Psy HS, i guess thats why theres sssteven and sslusamine EXR

[ashen thunder]

What will he have?

Never played alola games

[tardy fiber]

Red Lapras

[ashen thunder]

A new tank for ice

So that ice can reach even greater heights

[broken mulch]

I think I’d be sorely tempted to drop the game if it’s Alolan Blue and Red for halfversary haha

2 years in a row for red was pushing it but another one in six months lol

[grim plover]

alolan red & blue is for when the game is at red numbers

alongside with swimsuit cynthia

[bronze tulip]

If anything... ugh, I know it's against the channel's point but ...

||I'd rather the alolan master fairs be tech and support for once, just something that isn't striker... even though I LOVE STRIKER||

||The Alola family have all been striker ...||

[ashen thunder]

Eh

I'd rather have new units be sprint or field

[tardy fiber]

I hope for tech too, like i will form fifth tech candy next month without any faves to use it

[ashen thunder]

I am too broke on candies

For the main 3 roles

Well ig, I can afford tech

[topaz compass]

New MFs are like 90% chance to be field and sprint. Might even be inverse of each other with cake roles giving them both each sprint/field

[ashen thunder]

Other 2 is impossible game for me at this point

[bronze tulip]

Ew

Dena forcing me to get used to sprint / field roles by giving these roles to MFs

[ashen thunder]

tbh sprint+field is pretty shit

They are good individually, combined it's not as special

[topaz compass]

If we get the gen 9 bike legendaries it makes sense though

[tardy fiber]

Not if it got cool passive that probably give WTZ on entry and increase WTZ duration

[ashen thunder]

would rather have like sprint with supp Rolex and field with strike or tech role

[bronze tulip]

||I didn't care much for teches at all thought they were mid even with EX role, until I pulled on SS Lyra in June 2022||

[tardy fiber]

Like hviola is a nice field as she's a field unit but still got bug wish on demand...i still skip her though, but still a nice kit

[ashen thunder]

That month I was saving for MFs

Otherwise I'd have gamba'd

[tardy fiber]

But vthorton field kinda sux

[ashen thunder]

Well Vthorton is more off role compression rather than zonebot

Tbf any variety is just bait

Rolling em just promote Dena to be lazy with designing new costumes

[tardy fiber]

At least give them like victrier got some wtz on entry and sync can become second wtz or on demand like hviola

[bronze tulip]

I got kinda unlucky so I skipped ||SST Red and SSA Cynthia at that time. Similar story to skipping anni N or Steven. Well, I did still have gems but I felt insecure||

[tardy fiber]

I just skipped any non faves MF

[bronze tulip]

4th anni first ones without skips

[tardy fiber]

No remorse on missing them, when i already hated them

[bronze tulip]

Even Ash?

[fallen path]

Yeah they don’t got ash

[bronze tulip]

I had a feeling he wouldn't rerun at that time

[fallen path]

Mind, hate is a strong word for a mobile game, but each to their own

[zenith eagle]

I'm sadder about not being able to get Jessie and James anymore more than Ash

[bronze tulip]

Although today in coop I did see ash players... I also saw way more SST Red players

I almost forgot he recently reran

[ashen thunder]

Well most people tend to put money on the game and ash is a fan fav

Not uncommon to see him in co op

Jessie, James, ash and bugscy is the 4 horsemen for flexing

[bronze tulip]

I wonder the reaction when he comes back in pokemon anime, prompting his rerun

As part of collab that is

[sand crown]

It’s gonna be sad eventually seeing Ash as the only master fair without an EX role

[ashen thunder]

They didn't rerun Jessie James when ash was out

So they aren't rerunning any units from what I see atleast

The Collab ones I mean

[bronze tulip]

The thought of veteran players having Ash while this game reaches 10th anniversary ...

💀

[tardy fiber]

PoGo collab, willow melmetal...that one i will pull

Also as its new, he will come with ex role

Oh right bugscyther enjoying extra grid energy... not jessie james though...they still missing grid

[fallen path]

Haha Bugsy and scyther

Def won’t be in the datamine

[ashen thunder]

It'll be funny if they give Rolex and still forget to give grids for Jessie and James

Coz you can Rolex your units even without EX

[feral vale]

Funny you guys talk about Ash players when I exist

[lilac crescent]

Surprised y'all aren't talking about Ash haters.

[hasty umbra]

what's there to say? some people don't like him, that's the end of it

[feral vale]

Plus I feel that people that do hate on Ash other than the simple fact of not liking him…kinda do it for dumb reasons

[lilac crescent]

🤷‍♂️

People be people.

[vestal leaf]

I hate specific ash interactions

Like journey ash, late kanto ash, or johto ash

I like some of his versions a lot tho, which makes jn ash a sore point for me in Poma

But that's kinda it

[tardy fiber]

I dont hate Ash, i dislike pikachu so i dont mind skipping him and other non fave MFs

My other non MF faves can fill their roles just fine

So i dont regret skipping em

Even if they never rerun

I would pull Ash if he comes with Melmetal or something

[broken mulch]

You know what would be a meta temptation for me?

||our first field/sprint unit||

[grim plover]

that sounds awful

[tardy fiber]

The one that will kinda tempt me is lodge guest, although i skipped adaman/irida but their lodge pairs keep tempting me whenever i open lodge gotta stay strong

At least i can grab other PF lodge via select

But MF,

[untold tide]

Honestly that sounds...hmmm kitwise

You'll have to forfeit support sync buff but I guess you can now sync twice under a non TM/MPR Zone

[zenith eagle]

Ready for datamine. Count might go down real quick after it though.

So glad I was able to save almost two pities for half anni

[feral vale]

61k here!!

Much better than my situation last full anni

[winged fossil]

2 hours ish until 70 grid energy for genpool/f2p units

(+ download time and time for iOS to get the update)

[zenith eagle]

Oh wow

I thought it'll be a few days before we get that

[winged fossil]

its in the update

and according to this the updates tonight #game-announcements message

i actually have to think of what ill add to my riley grids due to the update

cause i was just planning to go for the sync mult, sync bps, and amped/se1 for my initial planned team but, now i got more energy to plan with

maybe i drop a sync bp tile for max knuckle power?

[zenith eagle]

My only 5/5 gen pool is Leaf but I can finally have her be both the tank, buffer and provide some sync accel

[winged fossil]

bleh, literally 1 energy off of the Leaf grid i want. will have to make two versions of it for berserk/ramped then

[zenith eagle]

Yup unfortunately

[winged fossil]

this woulda been nice for an allrounder grid otherwise for a f2p supp

[untold tide]

Thankfully we have 4 grid settings nowadays

[zenith eagle]

I'm picking tm mpr, endurance, recup, crit squad and berserk/ramped up

[winged fossil]

tm mpr feels redundant to me, surely you dont need her fully critting your dps. +2 is plenty to top off most dps out there

id rather have potion tiles and such

[zenith eagle]

If the dps allows yeah the potion stuff would be good to have over tm mpr

[untold tide]

you see, you're missing the point, with TM MPR you can just use Leaf all the way through BR /hj

[winged fossil]

i actually am kinda clueless on what to go for on my hop grid, all i can think of is the second MH1 tile or go SENext +7 energy of crap

[untold tide]

aaaand mega tyranitar just got announced

skip for me

[winged fossil]

solgaleos another weird one cause you already can grab basically all he ever needs, think all it does for him is a sync bp tile or two

aaand hoenn NC prob then

skip button

[untold tide]

wtf why hoenn

[zenith eagle]

What where?

[untold tide]

#game-announcements

[winged fossil]

twitter

[lilac crescent]

It's gotta be Brock.

[zenith eagle]

Idk how I feel about that

[untold tide]

on top of my head, there's no reason for mega tyranitar to be attached to hoenn

[lilac crescent]

He's one of the only people (in the game) who has a Tyranitar.

[versed flame]

but he... already has an SS?

[untold tide]

see SSR, SSA Cynthia

[zenith eagle]

It doesn't have to be one of the half anni MFs right? Could just be a pb?

[versed flame]

yes but SS tyranitar specifically

[lilac crescent]

What if they add Mega to him?

[untold tide]

very unlikely, they won't make him a game icon otherwise

[winged fossil]

||and the tyranitar is Shiny||

[lilac crescent]

Huh?

[winged fossil]

||Just incase yall missed how i can tell||

||This should be red, not purple||

[untold tide]

gah my dreams of shiny nihilego

but hey, at least the last week of CS theory

holds up again

good for us resource zennersw

[grim plover]

i only have 1 pity and ||there's a posibility of both silver and ethan NC||

[lilac crescent]

Dang it. They're right. It's not Brock.

[winged fossil]

yeah, i had a feeling it was new rock type, and now im just like "...ok"

wait, i was actually mistaken on region tyranitar was from lol

this whole time i thought tyranitar was a hoenn mon

im so used to "sand = hoenn"

[grim plover]

just like skarmory

[unkempt vortex]

that’s what happens when johto has like nothing new

[winged fossil]

still could be since its mega and thats the remake game that had megas, but could be either

[lilac crescent]

We just need Scottie/Bettie to wield it. And they will almost have all the gimmicks.

[untold tide]

so...is it possible....for Kanto VA to NOT rerun

and instead rerun Johto VA?

[lilac crescent]

Va?

[untold tide]

my Psychic HSE dreams

AHHHH

[winged fossil]

possibly

[untold tide]

villain arc

[lilac crescent]

Oh.

I thought that ended.

[unkempt vortex]

It did

They do reruns

[lilac crescent]

You mean Villain Events?

[unkempt vortex]

Yes

And the units too although not necessarily at the same time

[grim plover]

imagine if its hoen nc with 3 megas

[winged fossil]

the mega is honestly why i think hoenn is possible

if it wasnt mega itd be 100% johto

[lilac crescent]

What about Kalos?

[grim plover]

[unkempt vortex]

Kalos is not a real region

[dark oar]

Huhu

[lilac crescent]

Yes, it is.

[untold tide]

counterpoint: riley got dynamax

and he isn't gen 8

[winged fossil]

kalos NC already happened

[unkempt vortex]

and besides kalos barely had any megas that weren’t from kanto

[winged fossil]

this is like 100% NC lookin shit

[lilac crescent]

Imagine if another Pokégirl gets this.

[vernal glade]

And I’m ignoring NC

[grim plover]

its a pokemon in the app icon, it means the first unit is a male that's not N, steven, Red ||or Victor||

[lilac crescent]

Elio!

[unkempt vortex]

Not necessarily true

[lilac crescent]

Damn it.

[unkempt vortex]

Wasn’t Nate the icon longer than rosa ever was

[grim plover]

it's a joke, but still happens very often

[lilac crescent]

Bruh.

[winged fossil]

i still doubt its fairy/psychic/ghost for the second one... fighting might be literally just for riley atp

[lilac crescent]

Wait, did we ever get a Poliwag egg event?

[unkempt vortex]

Why

[untold tide]

psychic is still likely, re Psychic HSE

[winged fossil]

i guess hitmontop could be a thing but thatd be kinda weird right

[lilac crescent]

In the last datamine, they showed Poliwag's evolutionary line.

[untold tide]

I doubt they're baiting for SS Steven with last week of CS

[winged fossil]

we just got ncrosa and a ss lusamine rerun

i dont think an anni pair of psychic is happening

[unkempt vortex]

And SS steven

[untold tide]

fair enough

[winged fossil]

not a master fair, but yeah

[untold tide]

but again, this is DeNA, who cut down over 6k+ of our gem average over the years

how I yearn for 2022 gem counts

[winged fossil]

Johto Fighting: heracross, hitmontop
Hoenn Fighting: Blaziken, Breloom, Hariyama, Medicham
...yeah with this pool i dont think fightings it, unless they wanna do a 2nd mega blaziken that has a fighting kit instead

[vernal glade]

I have a feeling I’m going to continue saving next month.

[unkempt vortex]

Wouldn’t surprise me

[winged fossil]

maybe theyre following pseudo legendary theme with a mega... Salamence.

[unkempt vortex]

There are plenty of units with same mon

[winged fossil]

beyond those possible guesses im stumped tbh

watch it not even answer darach efficiently btw

[untold tide]

1 more hour until I can ||pull for ss gladion|| without having to EX Cheren

[tardy fiber]

Dome Ace Tucker Mega Salamence

Wow first revealed unit is a skip

[sturdy hatch]

Has everyone remembered to clear the Pokemon Masters Day event?

[versed flame]

almost four pities, ready for ||lear psychic hse rerun please||

[tardy fiber]

I cleared everything even dupe outfit color just for 1 extra 👍

Oh darn i forgot to preset cs teams

[sturdy hatch]

Yeah, give us an !

[winged fossil]

did the dupe and outfit powerup

and working on the Riley 4 and 5 dupes since gonna need for the energy probs

[untold tide]

I hate discord remix ugh

But yeah ready for anni

[tough oriole]

(Friendly reminder to avoid hyping up new anni units here )

[winged fossil]

TL skyla, another f2p lodge pair.

cant hype the anni stuff, but can hype the f2p goodies!

[untold tide]

beautiful

I hope her lodge is just as broken

[vernal glade]

Ready for anniversary

[untold tide]

as her free story pair\

[grim plover]

Anni here I go

[broken mulch]

Phew

[tardy fiber]

Lemme check what pokemon skyla used

Hope its swoobat

[broken mulch]

Glad I have pity

[grim plover]

Same

[tardy fiber]

So far 2 skips for me, its safe for my 92k gems

Oh right lodge skyla

First non 5* lodge guest

This opens up possibilities

[untold tide]

...20k...for orb unlock limit?

is this a one time thing?

do we have to start a "orb saving mindset"

[untold tide]

apologies, noted.

[timber wren]

preemptively taps the sign

youre good

just standard practice at this point

[tardy fiber]

For 1 energy?

Or for 10?

[broken mulch]

Suddenly 900k doesn’t seem a lot

LMAO

[untold tide]

unclear, lethartist sent a screenshot on #poma-lounge

[tardy fiber]

Yep my 900k aint enough if its 20k for 1

[untold tide]

#poma-lounge message

20k for 2, it seems like?

[ashen thunder]

10k per point?

That's cheap if it's only favs

[untold tide]

...yeah, now we know why they were "buy our orb bundle lol"

[ashen thunder]

But yea raising everyone gonna take a while

[tawny cedar]

So far this month is looking okay

Only 1 fave

[tardy fiber]

So 100k for 1 5/5 unit

Better i focus on legendary adventures faves first

At least i know i got those guys at 5/5

[grim plover]

Ok my gems are in danger

[vernal glade]

Not me.

I don’t know yet

[broken mulch]

Oh wait

I can still get some more sync orbs from the Pokemas day shop

[untold tide]

ehhh...I'll skip honestly

[tawny cedar]

My gems are in danger but it ain't gonna be too bad

[tardy fiber]

Wow so my months of saving, 900k orbs are only enough for 9 pairs

[broken mulch]

TO THE COOP

[untold tide]

I like the characters, but I don't like their mons (and just lukewarm on ||geeta||)

[winged fossil]

||If the outfit I saw is what I think it is, then both our gems might be on the table. That's all I'm saying here.||

[vernal glade]

||I seen the colors you think what I’m thinking?||

[untold tide]

...wait, wait, wait. ||are you guys talking about sc irida||

OH NO

[vernal glade]

||Yes, the colors.||

[untold tide]

yep it is

aiya

[winged fossil]

||YEP MY GEMS ARE GONE||

[tardy fiber]

Good luck guys so far its a skip half anni for me

[winged fossil]

ill see yall on the other side

[vernal glade]

||Well, a Zoroark fan is ready.||

Well, see you guys later.

[untold tide]

do you guys think that's all the pairs?

trying to figure out my gem saving plan

and my orb saving plan...

[tardy fiber]

Seems like it, theres 6 pairs

[untold tide]

yall saving 60k orbs for your ||h zoroark||

[lunar thistle]

||Aaaaaaaa||

||Good thing I saved||

[grim plover]

Most likely. That's 3 alts, a new spotlight, and whatever Geeta and dhalia are

[tawny cedar]

Hmm

Yeah only 1 fave this month

I'll be fine

[untold tide]

ok uhhh persuade me to go for my faves

instead of meta

[tardy fiber]

Well at least i will have Noland EX and lodge skyla to play with

[untold tide]

oh also

bug compensation

300 gems

it's not apolocoins this time

...is this for both bugs?

[broken mulch]

We had two?

[tardy fiber]

Yep

[untold tide]

nope, the other bug's not resolved yet

one of them is the forbidden exploit, and the other is the BR softlock

[winged fossil]

the exploit one, and the rally one... which bug is gonna be left unresolved?

[untold tide]

...start planning your stamina spending too I guess

[winged fossil]

you WHAT

[vernal glade]

Still waiting for the update

[winged fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-you-what-what-did-you-do-spongebob-meme-spongebob-squarepants-gif-19389913

[vernal glade]

Wait what?

[untold tide]

want to proclaim yourself a true Cynthia fan?

[vernal glade]

10k?!

[untold tide]

start autoing with her for 10k stamina

[winged fossil]

i have to do that with at least 6 favs... do we think alts count for those?

[vernal glade]

So you’re telling me

[tawny cedar]

Mf silver

[winged fossil]

wonder if you can put 3 N's and get 3x the output

[vernal glade]

I have to use 10k Stamina for N Fan

[tawny cedar]

Ok I think i can pity him

[broken mulch]

Please be retroactive lol

[untold tide]

...ya know

the fact that

it's 0/10k

[broken mulch]

DAMMIT

[untold tide]

when I've obviously used acerola before

[vernal glade]

So then how I get the team plasma title then?

[untold tide]

...they don't have it

[vernal glade]

Oh

[winged fossil]

ios has the update

[untold tide]

I'm on android

[winged fossil]

just downloaded it by refreshing my update menu on ios

[broken mulch]

Android got it sooner

[winged fossil]

yea android always gets it first

like, almost always

[vernal glade]

Thanks for the reminder.

[ashen thunder]

Bugscy not veteran flex anymore

[untold tide]

also

photo missions

free gems babey

[winged fossil]

RERUN? REAL?

I FINALLY CAN HAVE HIM?

[vernal glade]

Hold up he’s back?

[dark cliff]

Welp… time to be careful on the gems… big hitters next couple of months

[rare swan]

Reminder not to discuss the new units here, y'all

[vernal glade]

[rare swan]

(congrats btw )

[broken mulch]

Buscyther rerunning? Must be close to EoS

[feral vale]

It's a big ol FINALLY!!

[vernal glade]

(Thanks.)

[dark cliff]

And new folks get him ready to be EXd

[vernal glade]

About time buscyther reran

How many years has it been?

[zenith eagle]

Do we know how many gems the pokefair selects will require? Or is it different each time?

[ashen thunder]

Man I wish he didn't rerun
Now I cant flex with him

[tardy fiber]

My first max energy cap unlock is OGGladion

[dark cliff]

I wanna say 4

[untold tide]

but yeah, I feel like

we now need to save

orbs

[dark cliff]

Probably 5

[untold tide]

and maybe stamina

if you want to be true fans /hj

[dark cliff]

Least lucky cookies are now farmable

[ashen thunder]

Just buy sync orb from rally and lodge shops

[grim plover]

I need his powerboost asap

[ashen thunder]

I think I'll unlock for ssmay and then all gacha MFs I have

After that it depends on how much I got left

[untold tide]

anyways, 1100 free gems

from photobooth event

[tardy fiber]

I'll unlock on my faves that are 5/5 first

[untold tide]

also they have secret titles

fun times

[vernal glade]

Free gems. Guess I’m getting on now for those.

I got a secret badge.

[untold tide]

Well, guess it's not a title

[vernal glade]

Oh

[untold tide]

But close enough

[vernal glade]

I meant to say hashtag oops.

[untold tide]

I'm seeing my candy priorities fall apart in real time

how do you guys prioritize faves

[grim plover]

Thank God I didn't candy ||gladion ||

[untold tide]

I...am reconsidering candying ||gladion|| too

[grim plover]

||he's perfectly fine at 1/5 because you most likely want to sync with wally or hau||

[untold tide]

...I skipped his partners, because fave over meta

[zenith eagle]

Can we read kits already?

Where?

[tardy fiber]

Finally done with max energy for now, just need to farm 500k co-op orbs for my remaining 5/5 faves pairs that havent yet max energy cap

[untold tide]

absol probably has it on pastebin

but...well, I don't have absol's twitter lmao

[winged fossil]

https://pastebin.com/u/Absol-utely

you prob should save that somewhere

[zenith eagle]

Thanks Rhythm!!

[winged fossil]

[dreamy onyx]

there's a title for using cake can't hoard them anymore

[tardy fiber]

Although its a skip month for me but there's a lot of juicy selects

[zenith eagle]

wanna go over all kits ASAP so I can know whether I'm ||getting Gladion today||

[vernal glade]

Thanks for the pastebin

[pure arrow]

had just enough gems to boost the sync grid energy for all my Zinnias
now I can actually save on sync orbs

[winged fossil]

from looks of it idt its updated yet

[tardy fiber]

Gonna grab variety select and pokefair selects

[winged fossil]

but it should be there when it is there

[tardy fiber]

Nice, zinniaray is in my to-do list too

[winged fossil]

nvm i just had to scroll down further

its there

[zenith eagle]

Current ones or next month?

[tardy fiber]

Next month

Gonna grab Ariana

[zenith eagle]

Yo same. So glad I have saved paid gems

[winged fossil]

i have to skip the selects more than likely cause of moving budget being tight

[zenith eagle]

||SS Hau and Penny|| for me and maybe ||SS Wally|| if I can get all 3

[tardy fiber]

Pokefair select for ssacerola/eusine

[winged fossil]

not unless 1x 20day is enough for one of them

maybe next time

[tardy fiber]

3 more faves getting EXR next month

Cake coupons deficit

[fallen path]

bugsy and scyther rerun???

[vernal glade]

About time ya.

[zenith eagle]

Are they a good pair or just rare and for collection purposes atp?

[tardy fiber]

Good because leer and team crit buff

[fallen path]

i haven't seen someone say no to a free unit before

so they are good

[zenith eagle]

Oh a free pair

That's awesome then

[winged fossil]

just gonna give myself a resource checklist to save for this month...
1x 🍰
1x 🍰
1x 🍰
and thats about it from what im seeing.

[round mason]

oh they finally reran?

[winged fossil]

still not gonna be doing any > exrs this month from looks of it. but eh, thats fine.

[vernal glade]

I rarely use cake.

[winged fossil]

i use them constantly due to rally, i like trying to minmax my points

for the most part im caught up with my roster

i think its just tech cakes remaining? could be wrong

oh right, striker for riley too

thats bout it

my strike tech team finishes this month tho, thats neat.

[fallen path]

I have used some cakes for battle rally and stuff i'll use for high score events

[tardy fiber]

I gonna need to use 1 sprint/field/strike

[fallen path]

i'm not gonna hoard any

[winged fossil]

i mainly am gonna hoard them when forced to

1 cake per month + change is generally enough for me

[fallen path]

I just don't see the point of someone hypothetically hoarding hundreds of these ticket things

gotta have some fun in the game

[vernal glade]

Im still going for favs only for cakes.

[winged fossil]

honestly the field cake might sit for a little while since said pair is 1/5 with not much usage, least for another datamine

strike and tech tho are gonna be going to heavy usage favs so

[vernal glade]

Same.

[tardy fiber]

Same 🤝

Although i start to EX non faves, but level 150, EX role, and grid max energy will still be faves only for now

[winged fossil]

my fav list is thin enough to not need to be stingy with cakes thankfully

not many months where i get new fav jumpscared anymore... although back to back like this is

||especially in same role. cmon dena i just spent my strike candies! lmao||

[tardy fiber]

Im glad that its a break month for me, plus its half anni... hopefully there's bunch of gems

[dark oar]

Flying Lodge or Normal Lodge? ;o

[tardy fiber]

I love the new profile editor, hope they add more customizations in the future

[untold tide]

what the

#datamines message

does this mean what I think it means?!

we get to choose any 5* PF we want?!

[sturdy hatch]

Time to start buying in the monthly shop again!

[crisp grotto]

fr

[winged fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-you-what-what-did-you-do-spongebob-meme-spongebob-squarepants-gif-19389913

[winged fossil]

So the 100 scout really WAS a teaser for a PF select?

if true then comes home guaranteed

thatd finish my PF reruns basically for good

[untold tide]

...I...can get akari...

[winged fossil]

my only regret was skipping paulo

thats my only regret atm

and if a free select is offering me the chance to take it

THEN HELL YEAH

best anni ever, skipping the anni units AND getting my last rerun target possibly?

[zenith eagle]

If it includes all PFs I can save 3-5k paid gems

Since I'm going for atleast 2 pairs from selects depending on the pool ofc

[winged fossil]

im really hoping that it is them all, but even if its just the 3 in photo then atleast i get a fav of some kind

[broken mulch]

God there’s too many to choose from LMAO

[winged fossil]

im already calling this the best anni yet, no matter the gemcount

really like how things are looking for any cleanup i need to do

[vestal leaf]

Gonna post it here

[tardy fiber]

Im happy about ||paldea MF release|| so its even closer for me to get Paldea faves, with bunch of legendaries and paradoxes, i dont have any leeway to get tempted by other non faves

[winged fossil]

I’m a bit grateful for it being only one nc for once. Sure they might throw a second johto next month but meh.

I like the sounds of variety rather than same region shoved in our throats

[tardy fiber]

I wonder if they move toward separating Master Fairs but making them more frequent like 1 new MF each month... instead of 3 MF every 3 months gap

Oh right there's also normal mega tyranitar pic in datamine... hopefully that means SsBrock getting Brendan's treatment later

[uncut comet]

In my opinion they will introduce a new banner with different odds during the 5th anni. Masterfairs are coming at a faster pace than ever and they started to rerun them consistently. I suppose they want little to none people to plan their gem usage

[warped rose]

heya im v terrible at maths so could anyone suggest the best paid gems packs i shld purchase to get 3 characters' worth of 400 points

[tardy fiber]

So 1200 points in total?

[tardy fiber]

I kinda like with what they did with ssgladion...make an event that combines new and old MF, so less MF to pull and more chances for people to pull MF that they missed sounds like a win for me

[warped rose]

no i meant like which specific paid gem bundles shld i buy to get 1200 points worth

idk how else to explain it

basically i wanna buy enough gems to get 400 points for adam irida and silver

[tardy fiber]

You need 109200 paid gems in total

If you want 400 points for all of them

Kinda whale territory

Well at least there's orb bundle, so 106200 paid gems left

[warped rose]

heres to hoping i get early pity for at least one of them

either way there shld be enough gems to earn within the scout duration for lets say...200 pts or so right?

[tardy fiber]

Not sure, gem calcs haven't released yet

[warped rose]

i mean like on average. per every new limited scout that comes with event/s

[tardy fiber]

Well we still havent reach below 20k so i guess 20k is a safe estimate

[tardy fiber]

We used to be able to estimate it, but just like this month...2 monthly event disappeared, blissful bonanza and legendary arena mission

[warped rose]

iirc 400 points is 40k gems...?

[tardy fiber]

Also bvilla also gone after this

[tardy fiber]

36600 if use only free gems, 36400 if combine with paid gems

[warped rose]

fair enpugh

thanks

[tardy fiber]

No problem

[lunar thistle]

Gem count seems quite abysmal this half anni

[rare swan]

it's not even out yet 😭

[compact pasture]

Are we expecting 20K?

[upbeat lotus]

Should be way more

23k is the average gem count of 2023

My guess is around 29-30k

[compact pasture]

[topaz compass]

Are we getting new ways to get more sync orbs? 20,000 per +2 max energy is bullcrap

[tardy fiber]

Hopefully 29-30k

Oh right as there's SC this month, so April is no longer SC month?

[maiden kayak]

u wish lol

[compact pasture]

Too many SCs?

[tardy fiber]

Luckily March is a skip month for me, so more preparation for April

Well i might grab some selects

[lunar thistle]

I was reading the pinned gem counts

[tardy fiber]

But nothing that will make me lose a big chunk of savings

[lunar thistle]

...forgetting that next month is not February

[sweet tide]

the selects are 5k tho...

[dark oar]

pain.

[sweet tide]

also, truly like what aqua said, u wish

[compact pasture]

Is it bad?

[sweet tide]

well its not as bad as last month that's for sure

is it bad compared to previous anni months? definitely lower

actually nvm i just rmbed that 4th anni was tragic too so i guess this is the new norm 🙂

[lost bobcat]

Overall since 4th anni we're behind previous year months
But they're giving a lot of stuff too so ig it's a balance?

Event units, all free lodge units, two free variety, 100 pulls with pokefairs and now a free pf select

[tardy fiber]

Well i did grab ny 5k selects, if the choices are good...i will still grab it

[compact pasture]

Who’s in the select?

[lost bobcat]

We don't know until release i guess
So far we have the pic with Red and Lucas

[upbeat lotus]

Thats probably the free pokefair banner

[tardy fiber]

Hope there's gloria in its choices

[upbeat lotus]

Yes there is Gloria

[tardy fiber]

I kinda want her haymaker

[upbeat lotus]

All 3 appear on the banner image

[tardy fiber]

Neat

My choice is set

For PF select, i gonna prioritise Eusine and ssAcerola

The paid ones

[upbeat lotus]

These are paid pokefair selects. I thought they costed 3k like usual

[tardy fiber]

Hurm theres combinations

I thought they separate by role

[lost bobcat]

3k is way better than new year selects

[sweet tide]

its random this time probably

[lost bobcat]

Glad i saved

[dark oar]

oh they're mixed roles

this will be tough i guess.

[sweet tide]

the selects are 5k paid gems tho so 💀

[dark oar]

I'll have to see whose in there i suppose.

[lost bobcat]

[tardy fiber]

Gonna grab Eusine and ssAcerola, hope they are in different banner

[lost bobcat]

If 5k i'll pass

[upbeat lotus]

Me2

[tardy fiber]

Then i will finally catching up with my move candy allocations...so next strike candy can be used to 3/5 ||ssgladion||

[dark oar]

I too would want ||SS Acerola|| :<

[tardy fiber]

But as its 5k, i probably just gonna grab 2 out of 3 selects

Cannot pull 1 more for character that might become lodge guest

[ashen thunder]

Do we know what's the pool for the free PF select?

Or atleast what's the 3 in banner image?

[tardy fiber]

Plus, now 3* and 4* pairs can also be lodge guest...thanks skyla for the possibilities

[upbeat lotus]

Redlax, Lucas and Gloria are on the banner image

[sweet tide]

||gloria lucas redlax||

[ashen thunder]

Wow till lucas

That means there must be lot of good options

[tardy fiber]

Although Lysandre power up is also nice but i dont use him much nowadays so 4/5 Gloria it is

Mainly because she's not weak to ground for steel weak stuffs

[lunar thistle]

So we only get three choices?

[tardy fiber]

Need to wait for the fateful day

[ashen thunder]

the banner display is those 3

[tardy fiber]

Choices are server side

[ashen thunder]

Usually it's more than those

[tardy fiber]

I changed from one of the big savers for co-op sync orbs to one of the poorest in a day

[compact pasture]

Wow?

[tardy fiber]

Used it to max energy 9 pairs

900k orbs gone

[lost bobcat]

We're getting an ever pin tomorrow

[upbeat lotus]

Yooo

[lost bobcat]

But the pattern looks random so far

[tardy fiber]

Oh right any info for the new lucky cookies? The one that has the pair's name...is it free?
