Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[untold tide]

not when you're new no

[winged fossil]

Even as a veteran I still stockpile silvers

Never know when 4-5ing a lodge or other pair might be useful

Or when a fav will be lodged

[tardy fiber]

I convert all 4* to 5* pairs as in long term, it will help me to get more as i no longer need much som im free to convert it

For now i just keep 20 monthly for lodge pair, but when nearing anni, i will need 100

For 1 lodge pair + 4 4* bp pairs

[winged fossil]

I just like having a backlog of them to fallback on if I find a use unexpectedly

Not like I ex often anymore outside of ebes!

Main time I do I get new exs is when I’m pulling banners anyways, and at that point I’m getting an influx of pus if I’m being shafted

so it’s not often I run too low on golds either tbh outside of things like this anni making me spend a good like sixty back to back to back to back

||Gladion, SSteven, Geeta, og Cynthia, Lucas…||

Totals to 75 spent within like a just over week or so…

Annis are funny exceptions like that

Since I like to ex limiteds

[feral vale]

OH I HIT 70K

[lunar thistle]

Bronze can be shoved into silver right

[sturdy hatch]

So long as you're not doing eggs or something

[lean mango]

Gem count, ig in the end I would eventually reach this point of time. Time to go back into my saving coma

[dark oar]

Chilling~

[nimble dock]

What is ebe in the daily gem counter? The 600 ones

[upbeat lotus]

Extreme Event Battles

[dark cliff]

It’s tempting to pull on both the new pairs, but I’m going to embrace the spirit of, 300 gems is not worth spending potentially 37k worth just to clear something .

[tardy fiber]

Woohoo ||got 900/1200 gems from the EBEs without pulling any featured pairs||

I will also have another 300 gems on hold from Palmer UB, i need a really good mood in order to try to clear UBs

Man the new mystery stones chapter, really make MC Arceus aint that far-fetched anymore like this month show MC more than Rei

Anyway i hope that it is able to increase sync pair powers, perhaps like need mystery stones to level cap 200 or something

[oak crest]

I'm back to saving after a horrid half anni

doubt I can recover the gems before the next NC drops in 3 months but we'll see

easily my worst anni for sure

[cunning swan]

convince me against pulling for SS Steven after I got hella lucky with my ticket pulls

i have over 2 pities and there are no more units I want this month

Steven's a fave, but not big enough so I'm comfortable with skipping. Hate the outfit, the kit looks crazy fun

I'm just afraid of getting too greedy and testing my luck even more

[upbeat lotus]

you have to EX Acerola if you pull him

[tardy fiber]

Do you have enough gems to do it? And are you not concern with april pairs?

[cunning swan]

Yes for the first question. I genuinely don't know about the second. I don't usually pull April because that month is typically saved for SCs, but who knows what dena is cooking next month

having a MF in february then two SCs in march is pretty unpredictable

[lost bobcat]

The mf pairs pattern is pretty much the same
We got 3, then 2 probably around june and then the usual 3 for anni

[lost bobcat]

Do you also have the candies?

[cunning swan]

absolutely not

[foggy crest]

Just making sure that I'm not mistaking, I should be fine with reaching pity right ?

Also, at what point would you say that it's worth going for 400/400 if I happen to pull him before I reach pity

[lost bobcat]

So you can use that as excuse (if you were looking for not pulling)
Pulling a unit for its kit but not reaching its best potential (3/5 at least) isn't worth risking a pity imo

[cunning swan]

23k gems left this month, that's ||7 multis||, so yeah

[cunning swan]

interesting perspective, thanks

[foggy crest]

Oh well I'm 3 multis short
and some singles I guess

Maybe I should stop spamming singles and actually hoard for multis

[oak crest]

never pull singles

its not worth it

[foggy crest]

It's so hard to not pull singles tho 😩

[oak crest]

multi (costs 3k) is 11 pulls while singles will only nett u 10 pulls with the same amount

[tardy fiber]

I only pull singles when its a mix scout or filling up the 396/400 pity points

Oh right new mix pair on April

[cunning swan]

yup, only do unpaid singles when you're at 396/400

[tardy fiber]

Will be 6 months since mix red

[cunning swan]

otherwise it's not worth it

[onyx tinsel]

Hi all, what link has the daily free gem breakdown? Like what is the per day for f2p

[uneven bone]

All I know is that at least every day you get 100 gems

[oak crest]

under pinned messages

if you are using a mobile phone to view the pinned messages can be a pain to find tho

[timber wren]

here

[onyx tinsel]

I am, how do you get to pinned on mobile

For this channel it kinda is hard

[timber wren]

click the channel titel, then settings, then pinned messages

[onyx tinsel]

Oh wow thank you

[timber wren]

np, idk why discord made its navigation so much worse

[winged fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/jontron-show-jontron-stumble-gif-5228845

Basically me rn… just had a terrible experience irl

Might end up with PTSD related to moving atp and it’s gonna be real hard waiting for datamine before ||throwing gems at irida possibly without pity||

[languid quail]

Pretty sure they said May not April

[civic trail]

Back to back 3 dead multies on Geeta 😔

I think luck is not on our side

[dire pelican]

Anyways let's not talk here

[feral vale]

Please spoiler pulling talk.

[grim plover]

Well, fresh start. But this is what I've been saving for

Another ||adaman|| I have to skip

[vestal leaf]

Spoiler pull talk

Please

[topaz compass]

Sounds like the person has no shot of getting enough to pity anyway

Which means DONT PULL

[rare swan]

I've deleted your comments - please keep questions like that to #poma-questions

[tardy fiber]

I run out of ...ive been EXing left and right for rally and EBE

[tardy fiber]

Well at least, i got around a month to farm before new stuffs

[versed flame]

exactly 4 pities :D

(did a handful of sync pair stories just to get the exact number haha)

[rare swan]

satisfying!

[tardy fiber]

You guys are killing it, i probably lose 300 gems from ebe and another 300 on hold for UBs, hope my gems are enough for April's stuffs

[rare swan]

I could only complete 1 of the 4 Unova NC EBEs so it was nice to be able to beat all 4 of these ones ||thank you Geeta||

[versed flame]

managed to brute force hau pt 1, i think i can do ethan pt 1 too 🤔 but it's pretty steep without any limited Johto or Alola pairs (or Paldea haha)

naturally though the amount of gems lost isn't nearly as much as the cost of pulling to beat the EBE

[rare swan]

correct

never ever pull just to beat an EBE

[tardy fiber]

Cheese it with OG Kris

But i lose for geeta round 2

[rare swan]

remember we have #1009557516369281075 for EBEs

[tardy fiber]

Yeah, but i given up, they keep saying that i got the roster but too much RNG involved...so i just gonna let the 300 gems go

[oak crest]

u can clear with SSLyra, SS Morty and OGSilver if u want

SSLyra is just there for turn denials so u can switch for other units if you want

[tardy fiber]

Yep but i got skill issues to quickly rotate between targets for turn denials

While watching and hoping silver make enemies burned

So i just gonna leave 300 gems

[oak crest]

ooh

[tardy fiber]

True anyway too many unreleased paldea faves for me to get swayed now and i think they will arrive even faster now that they acknowledged and released paldea theme tag

[rare swan]

yeah we might start being smashed with Paldea soon

[tardy fiber]

I wonder if Paldea legendary adventures is still hopium let me write it in feedback

[sand crown]

For the group who aren't fans of Paldea, it will be easier to save for us

[rare swan]

very true

meanwhile, with the news of a new Kalos mainline game....

gotta. save gems

[tardy fiber]

Dont worry, you got a year Tai...if it's released around March next year

Malva probably released earlier than new ZA stuff

[rare swan]

they might start highlighting more Kalos characters bc of it, though

(this is not a complaint or a problem )

[tardy fiber]

At least kalos wont have problems for alt allocation...sinnoh characters competing with hisui characters

[hasty umbra]

you want 2023 to repeat, smh, Kalos content every month

[hard wave]

Who are we missing from kalos besides malva xerosic and the scientists

[rare swan]

Alexa, Sina, Dexio

[hasty umbra]

Sina and Dexio

[tardy fiber]

Trevor

[hard wave]

Oh AZ and Morgan too

[rare swan]

yah there are a few that can be added still

[hasty umbra]

yeah, but Morgan is a given in August

[hard wave]

Yeah

Essentia is prob Emma (Alt.) and the other 2 furisode girls ig

[hasty umbra]

maaaybe Bonnie, not sure about that one since she is more from the anime, in the game she is a fairly minor character, just the quiz on Prism Tower

[tardy fiber]

Hurm for kalos faves, i guess i can only hope for zygarde dog form aside from Morgan that probably paired with a legend

Give the dog, thousand arrows move

[winged fossil]

🐕 yes give doggo form to someone

Prob my fav zy form. We will prob seee a new one tho in z-a

Like with palkia and Dialga

…although just as well could be yveltal xerneas forms instead

[hard wave]

Hmmm… arceus didnt get a new form tho

So yeah prob xern and yvel

[tough oriole]

There was Legend Plate ig, but not really a new form

[tardy fiber]

Mega Xerneas and Yveltal

[dark oar]

Mega Charizard Z would be cool 😮

[zenith eagle]

Got everything I wanted. Another saving arc begins. Will end the month with 40k banked.

[tardy fiber]

Nice

I still have variety select to go through before full saving mode

[glad falcon]

This is my progress so far.
Should I spend 400 gems on stamina daily, or start stacking gems right away?

[rare swan]

spending gems on stamina is considered a very bad move

they're the most valuable resource in the game - save them for pulling and pulling only

[crisp oracle]

you don't really need to stack stamina

you should just use it each and every day: you're actually using more that way than stacking it

[glad falcon]

I mean stacking gems

[rare swan]

yup, that's what you should work on

a good goal would be 36.6k, that's a pity

[crisp oracle]

stacking gems is an ideal i can get behind frfr

if you want to make this game as stress-free as possible, stack gems so you don't stress over getting a unit

[rare swan]

[crisp oracle]

also saving gems makes you better at the game

if you don't have x limited, you'll use this alternate gen pool unit and you'll have a better grasp of how everyone works

[unkempt vortex]

Not necessarily

[glad falcon]

Ok thanks
Till now was spending gems for stamina so that I can get codex books and bottles (for levelling up and unlocking).
As in the beginning I was barely able to compete in battles.

[rare swan]

that's fair enough - now you know

[unkempt vortex]

You can have every limited in the game and still be garbage

[crisp oracle]

well in that case you've probably never learned the actual mechanics of the game

[glad falcon]

What is x Limited

[crisp oracle]

x can be any limited pair under the sun

for example if I ||didn't have SS Diantha I'd use Olivia. Or if I didn't have SST Red I'd use Elesa (who i highly recommend||

[glad falcon]

Ok now I get it

Thanks

[split thicket]

Debate question: How high is too high (in regards to pulling) before you just need to pity?

[bleak falcon]

That’s a question more for #poma-questions

[timber wren]

it’s one we’ve discussed in here before

the typical answer is within 1-2 multis of pity, but only if you have a good stack of gems saved already

if you have less than a pity saved then those 1-2 multis could really make a difference for future banners

[bleak falcon]

Ah, my bad then

[cinder topaz]

3K !!!!

[timber wren]

well done!

[vestal leaf]

Personally I go to pity past 9-10th multi, unless it's a bad period

Like when I didn't go to pity on cbede last year, at 301/400 because I had speny 130k already

Those 3 multis could've meant the world later

And candies are always a possibility

And most limited pairs work at 1/5

[winged fossil]

I’m really finding it odd that they changed the little bottom left icon to the paid banner when I previously used it to reach a nonpaid one. Rip shortcut to nonpaid mf options

Do you guys mind if I ask something more geared toward real money spending here btw? Having trouble matching out a path to 5k paid gems before the current selects leave.

||Kinda want rei|| but idk if I can afford it, so have to figure out how much $$ that is

[vestal leaf]

You starting from 0?

[winged fossil]

Our move flopped hard

Yeah on five paid gems lmao

So basically zero

Still don’t remember how I got to five of all numbers years ago

[vestal leaf]

Your champion bundles are gone?

[winged fossil]

Yeah, think so. Pretty sure I had gotten the second one around johtrio

[vestal leaf]

Mhhh

[fallen path]

There’s the 300 paid gems to start I guess

6 of those

I think cami has the cost google sheets for the paid gems

[winged fossil]

Im pulling that up rn, iirc the orb bundle streak thing is one of the best deals but not enough days to reach 5k off just those

[vestal leaf]

Then it's a choice between

• bundle (3k) + 1800 (300*6) + 200
• 7k bundle

The First Is much cheaper

Should be 1/2 of second option

Who also gives you 2k extra and candy tho

[winged fossil]

We ended up sinking money into trying to move but we bailed out last minute. So hoping I can convince mom to let me get some gems since we should hopefully get some of the 6k downpayment thing back

[vestal leaf]

In my country it would be
12€ Vs 24€

[winged fossil]

I’m in usd currency

[fallen path]

I think you would want the gems so idk if you wanna get the 3k paid over 20 days

But it wouldn’t hurt I suppose

And I suppose if your state doesn’t tax digital goods that helps too

[winged fossil]

I’m in nc so we get taxed on digital sadly

I know steam does it atleast

I think the daily bundle was something like 4.39 or somewhere close to there on my bank account

Would have to double check

4.27

That’s the number after tax for ex orb daily thing

So it’s 28c tax on something for 3.99

[fallen path]

23 days till the selects leave so I think option a works

(0.99x6x 3.99)(1.07) and then maybe add a smaller bundle to it

[winged fossil]

…we might have to call and ask what’s up with my ssi, speaking of my bank account. Only got 194.03 yesterday when my ssi should be 943$

[fallen path]

Pokémon masters day will also have gem deals

[vernal glade]

True.

[lost bobcat]

But usually worse than the bundles

[fallen path]

And it ends the reset of the 26th for us EST folks

But money wise it’s cheaper than spending $100 on gems

Even tho value wise it’s worse

[winged fossil]

I think I’d be looking at 12$ for 7800 or 24$ for 7k if I understand my options… cause I can rebuy the orb bundle on like the 22nd if I can buy it today…
Considering my situation, think I’ll go with the orb bundle and top up the extra from 300/$1 deals most likely

Depends on how much mom lets me do this month on poma

Having extra for future selects or a future mix fav can’t hurt anyway

Realistically the earliest I can buy is in a day or two though if I had to guess considering we have to figure out about the 6k downpayment and my shortage on ssi and stuff… if I had to guess.

Thanks chat for the help with mathing out some options

[lost bobcat]

Or start buying the 3k orb deal for the fifth anni selects

[winged fossil]

Yeah worst case I’ll just start saving for fifth anni selects

Hopefully by then they’ll put Paulo in a select too

Still kinda regret skipping him to some degree

[lost bobcat]

In terms of ratio is the best solution
We are always getting selects during anni/half anni so stacking the 3k deals is a good choice

[winged fossil]

Mainly was tempted to grab rei but stacking for full anni prob more realistic

[lost bobcat]

If you do, remember to avoid daily
Dailies are evil

[winged fossil]

Yeah I know

The only thing other than selects id ever touch is if the mix feature is somehow a big fav.

In which case my paid gems would be in danger but the odds of that are low

Since I only have like five trainers or so I really care about a ton

[lost bobcat]

I've posted my plans abt selects/mix based on the 3k deals if you're interested
#1010275375730925638 message

Yearly

[winged fossil]

Is the 54k based off how many we get in a year off just that?

Interesting if so

[lost bobcat]

54k is one year of 3k bundle

[winged fossil]

If they keep doing the 1k for a dollar each anni then that’d be 55k/yr in my case. Cause I’m prob always gonna grab that deal when they run it

Cause so far they did it again for fourth

Being able to possibly get 10-11 5k selects in a year is actually not too bad, all things considered. Since so far it seems like we are prob on track for 9 of those a year

I assume from those numbers I’d prob be close to 27k by anni if I just constantly grab those 3ks for the next half year without spending them

[lost bobcat]

Yep

Selects are getting more frequent and now we also have variety selects (that we expected for 3k)
You can definitely ignore Mix if you don't like the fratured unit

The 3k is just abt being patient and stacking

But so far is the best deal for lightspenders

[winged fossil]

Well, looks like I’m forced to wait for ||irida|| select/rerun in future cause of my decisions. But eh, least sc selects are a thing rather than a pure

I think I can handle hoping for Paulo and her being in anni selects this year. Missing master fairs is rougher anyways if one likes them

[upbeat lotus]

it seems PF selects have been increased to 5k for now, so i have to begin stocking up gems before anni to be able to select my wanted PFs

[winged fossil]

Yeah, I’m gonna be doing the same once we have a bit of income again. Have to prepare at least 10k by anni to be safe like I did with newyears

I’m gonna look on the bright side atm: there’s zero rerun mfs that can tempt me, and selects make reruns of other kinds a lot easier to skip

Especially since barring Paulo I have finished my big temptations list I believe finally

If I can keep it to just the two of them I don’t think I’ll have any problems this year.

||I will say I’m probably gonna grab silver after the thinking I went through, since tyranitars Godzilla lookin ass is likable enough, and just hard pass till June mfs the earliest after.||

My best bet is just keeping that mf list as empty as possible is what I’m gonna plan for.

Especially as a rally main now

Glad to have content that I can tunnel into to keep myself more focused on less things mentally.

And it’s gonna make it even easier to skip things that don’t involve field or sprints too, in this case.

[tardy fiber]

I can get by i think as there's 6 months gap before anni...so thats like 27k paid from orbs bundle

I might still grab variety select, i want the base characters that stuck as variety...so archer, ariana, proton, petrel, ball guy

Sad, they can just be like Tierno and be a spotlight, darn DeNa

[rare swan]

#salt-channel not here

[vestal leaf]

^

[dark oar]

Saving is going well o/

[chrome nest]

I think it’s time to save again, I got the unit I want so I guess it’s time to save

[vernal glade]

Halfway to 200k again. Will be heading to 170k this month.

[untold tide]

Anyways I've come to realize

That

I won't pull for bad drip even if fave

||NC Silver||, for context. Something about his clothes scream 90s gangster in the wrong way for me

Whether this means he's actually not my fave...is a bit concerning

[warm scarab]

I just some estimates, not sure if anyone have done it as well. You get about 50 units for candy + sync pack a year(this includes counting candy as a unit). 15 ish units a year for just sync orb pack. But the investment is 10x difference in money lol

Anyone else did some maths on this?

[untold tide]

It's the usual monetization tactic

You either aim for whales or monthly minnows

So there's no point scaling it proportionally

[tardy fiber]

Kinda, thats why i ignore candy pack...well i did grab it before, but after my currency got hit by price increase due to apple pricing twice, i think its not worth it anymore

As for now, candy pack cost me 6.67 times more than sync orbs pack but only gives me 2.33 times of paid gems

So got a big difference

[topaz compass]

I only got 1 candy pack because my surveys have been outproducing the 3k pack costs. But I won't ever do it again unless the google surveys leave with me a huge surplus again

[tardy fiber]

It is kinda worth it for me before as i got plenty of faves that need 3/5 but now i already shorten my 74 faves list to be only 2 pairs left that need to be 3/5 so i think the candy pack already lost its purpose

Like if there's no faves on April as well, all of my 74 faves are already at least 3/5 move level

[lunar thistle]

I find I only pull for Pokemon, never outfit

[tardy fiber]

Fellow pokemon faves collector

[winged fossil]

There’s a few cases where outfit can sell me a unit. But it’s more often who the trainer is and/or what the Pokémon is. And rarely the moveset, although I’ve gotten stricter with that over the years.

Usually still will steer clear of trainers or Pokémon I dislike even with the latter though

Or even the former tbh. Cause ny Lillie exists and I don’t chase her even though it’s Lillie

Cause I kinda have a bee related phobia

https://tenor.com/view/capoo-sweating-bugcat-nervous-panic-gif-16864298

If a fav gets a bee I prob skip automatically due to said phobia

It’s really hard to handle them mentally. Even in Minecraft where they’re fucking cubes I avoid them!

[tardy fiber]

So far, i might get non faves if they are base character pair as those might be lodge guests, but i limit it to be only through selects and ignore MF non fave base pairs like leon, geeta, ash, adaman, irida unless their lodge pair are legendary/mythical/UB/paradox

[winged fossil]

I think considering how ash and team rocket went I’d prioritize crossovers in future if I care for it even in the slightest over any other running content

Cause it’s clear from them that they dont really bother trying to get licensing to rerun any of it

I definitely think if they did care that we woulda seen team rocket event come back with ash most likely when ash came out

So it’s definitely a cautionary tale type of scenario if they announce any other crossover pairs to decide then and there if you want it or not

Cause that’s the main fomo in this game atp now that even bugscy is rerunning

[tardy fiber]

Gonna do Rally a little bit later this week, my faves new EXR later will help as its 1 field and 1 sprint

[winged fossil]

It’s not like I have cakes to spend

[lunar thistle]

Well so I feel like Rally is another source of FOMO for me

It's like why am I pulling a filthy strike pair if I could pull a field and actually get the bonus points

[untold tide]

I think it'd be better to reframe that

As a way to re-prioritize who you're pulling right? And using the motivation of "Ugh not a filthy strike pair" to save gems

Because then you can convince yourself to skip strike pairs

To help aid in saving

I don't deny it's FOMO-y, but at the same time if you enjoy it, there's nothing wrong with reprioritizing

[lunar thistle]

But then it's like I see a strike pair I want and like and then my brain goes "opportunity cost"

[tardy fiber]

I treat EXR is just a bonus gift for owners, not gonna pull certain role combinations just for rally especially if the pair isn't a fave

[untold tide]

Well, that's a problem that's similar to pulling for non-meta faves, isn't it? You can say that every time you pull for non meta it's opportunity cost

But fact of the matter is that faves > meta at the end of the day here

If your fave is a strike even if BR meta is field

Then go for your fave

[lunar thistle]

It's like I go to the battle rally screen and I see people getting x4.0 bonus every time

And then I think that I should be doing that on a regular too

[untold tide]

People...don't usually do that, tbh, it's usually whales

[tardy fiber]

Yeap like what if your upcoming faves have the roles you wanted, and you will be like why i spent 36.6k on this non fave before

[untold tide]

And don't forget there's a bias here too: people are more likely to show off high multipliers

[lunar thistle]

Or like "oh look they're getting 12k points in rally while I'm getting like 5000 6000 max"

[untold tide]

No one's showing off 2.0x because, well, it's normal

Or 1.5x

[lunar thistle]

"that inherently means I'm worse than them"

[tardy fiber]

With rally only giving 300 gems a week, i still feel like there's a big difference of value to justify risking pity getting a specific role non fave pair just for rally

[sturdy hatch]

I have 2 field units and 1 sprint unit I'm rocking those 1.0x multipliers

[versed flame]

getting regular 2.5x match on a non sprint/field stage is not that hard even without sprint field roles, you can run triple strike/tech/support

beyond that it does require having sprint/fielders and/or EXR i suppose but ig it's something you have to weigh, like do you really love battle rally so much that you would pull a unit just because of their role, or are you willing to wait for faves which happen to match the role (similar to "i need busted attacker for X type")

[tardy fiber]

Im coping for 4* sprint/field bp pairs but with the absence of 4* general/sprint/field move candies , im sceptical

[untold tide]

so you're saying we're getting 5* free field/sprint pairs

[tardy fiber]

Victrier and riley

[versed flame]

riley is my fave pair of the anniversary lead up month

free sprint unit go brrr

[untold tide]

I mean, future ones

[tardy fiber]

They could do lodge

[untold tide]

I know they exist, that's the joke

[sturdy hatch]

They should just do gen pool

[tardy fiber]

Their dupes is obtainable using lodge stones

[versed flame]

wouldn't they still need to show something on the move level upgrade screen though

i agree that it would be nice though

gen pool definitely needs to have sprint/field

[fallen path]

Tbh it’s just a matter of time

[versed flame]

but i think they'll be gatekeeping it behind limited units (besides victrier riley) for at least a while longer

[fallen path]

Like we are starting to get Paldea units. A general pool Paldea unit will have a sprint or field role

Gachas always reward their whales first

[tardy fiber]

Sprint/Field Paldea legendary adventures pair please

[sturdy hatch]

First is fine, it's been so long and it'd take ages to get a spotlight anyway

Spotlights literally reward whales!

[tardy fiber]

Still missing Melony i will add Lenora and Drasna when they're added to the spotlight pool

[languid quail]

Hmm can i get quick how many left till end of the month

[crisp grotto]

21.5k

[languid quail]

Ty

[sly breach]

How much of that is EBE

[vestal leaf]

Ok now I gotta ask, what site do you use for surveys?

[languid quail]

Google surveys

[tardy fiber]

0 i think, kalos nc event rerun with no EBE...other event also got no EBE, well at least 300 of it is from Palmer's UB

So 21.2k gems left

[topaz compass]

It's google surveys mainly tied to using googlemaps

[tardy fiber]

I use google opinions to lessen sync orbs bundle price

[vestal leaf]

I asked because I heard surveys was closed in 2022

So I was curious

[lilac crescent]

What's even more funny is that they're locked behind events. And Victor was the first Field unit, which is even funnier.

[untold tide]

Exactly

me hiding my pain of missing out on Victor

[feral vale]

After a hard setback, back to a pity again!

[foggy crest]

Big gems next reset

[winged fossil]

prob should spoiler the latter

considering the channel we're in and its pull related talk involving a current unit

[foggy crest]

gotcha

[crisp oracle]

5️⃣

[lilac crescent]

Lucky 5.

._.
Wait, what?

[fallen path]

5 pities

[lilac crescent]

Hold on.

Oh. I see now!

[fallen path]

Maths

[tardy fiber]

Another twitter event, so its 500+500 gems now

[lilac crescent]

I got this!
500 + 500 = 1,000 gems. Boom! Maths.

[tardy fiber]

Well i wrote that because if i wrote 1k gems later people said it only gives 500 gems so better that i just wrote 500+500 so they could shut up

Especially those that didn't press #game-announcements

[broken mulch]

Oh I didn’t see there was a second one haha

Thanks

[upbeat lotus]

Tbf it was just announced

[rare swan]

Bruh I ain't putting this on my insta 😭 please be fr

[hard wave]

Same, I have ppl ik irl on insta but not twitter

Still going to delete once I have the gems tho

[dark oar]

depends on how long the deliberating of winners is and announcement of winners ;O

[tardy fiber]

Make a gaming twitter acc like me with not many followers, and i posted every mobile game stuffs there

[tough oriole]

[strange trout]

Do it for Sycamore

[fallen path]

I haven’t tweeted with those hashtags yet

[sturdy hatch]

I have to remember to screenshot Battle Rally this time

Is there a specific thing we have to screenshot?

[fallen path]

Not sure I haven’t done it yet..

[strange trout]

Screenshot the front page with unused Battle Rally passes

[tardy fiber]

I just screenshot the points winning screen

And i used an eggmon pair to add more spice at my post

And talked about finally, more use for eggmons

[sturdy hatch]

i use an egg for the first few stages if I have a type bonus it fills

[tardy fiber]

Yep they really helps plus the firsts couple of stages is kinda easy...hope that i can get shiny hitmonchan this month, support egg can help me in rally...shiny meowths are all techs

[feral vale]

Omfg dude…..

How did you do that??

[broken mulch]

Put this on your main you cowards lol

[dark oar]

wut

[tardy fiber]

Oh great, my ||1/5 EX Ariana helps me to clear the remaining EBE, so i got all EBE gems this month without pulling featured MF pairs ||

[dark oar]

Nice +1.8k today o/

[tardy fiber]

Oh i havent do special cs

How many gems behind that content?

[upbeat lotus]

700 gems

[tardy fiber]

Woahhh i will do it tonight, kinda busy now...my break time is only enough for 1 EBE tries

[dark oar]

Neo Champion Kalos also gives gems o/

[tardy fiber]

I feel happy, so far only this geeta EBE and Adaman EBE gave me the shivers, as least this one doesn't rerun anytime soon...

Oh I forgot we can put 3 lucky skills now, so my dawn can keep cs2 and wise entry 2

Only need cs2 to clear adaman EBE

OG adaman EBE

[vestal leaf]

Cs2 is always a good pick on her anyway

Her nuke is fun

[tough oriole]

I was close enough and then used sync pair stories

[sturdy hatch]

Remember to do your daily Co-op battle!

[grim plover]

i hate this so much

i think i already missed 2

but thanks for reminding me

[tardy fiber]

To avoid forgetting about it, i did it first thing right after reset

[winged fossil]

i suspect i missed one of them but least gemwise its like just 100 of the day

[foggy crest]

I randomly saw that message and loaded up my game to see if I did and I actually did not, ty for that :D

[versed flame]

i definitely forgot one of them at least, the daily reminders from here are helpful

[tardy fiber]

The co-op event has how many days in total?

[uneven bone]

14

[tardy fiber]

That's long, but well 1400 gems

[sturdy hatch]

The reminders will continue until morale improves

[topaz compass]

How come the exclamation mark doesn't come back each day for co-op

But it does for thr crappy stuff

Not cool Dena

I feel like I missed one even though I actually didn't. Makes me extremely paranoid

[tough oriole]

It does, just not from the single player menu

[tardy fiber]

No way to check too, if the rewards in the mailbox...at least we can check claimed stuffs

[crisp grotto]

I just saw this & on my way to do it now

[sturdy plank]

I FINALLY REACHED PITY

3rd time reaching pity

and 1st time ||not spending it instantly||

[crisp grotto]

Congrats!

[dark oar]

i'm 5k away from pity o/

[tardy fiber]

16,650 gems left but as i probably wont be able to be palmer UB for now so only 16,350 ...i guess i will be a little bit shy of 3 pities for next month's stuffs

Hope not many faves appear

[broken mulch]

6k away to reach pity again

[vernal glade]

I won’t be able to do Ethan part 2 and Palmer. So 16,050 for me.

[hard wave]

17,750 (17,450)

[fallen path]

I still got battle villa gems for a rainy day fund

[tardy fiber]

Oh so i will be 107k gems at the end of the month, need another 3k to form 3 pities

[vernal glade]

So 174k. I calculated wrong thinking I’ll get 180k

[tardy fiber]

Psychic HS this reset , out of all types for my faves...psychic is the most abundant with 11 faves

[sturdy hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/mig-server-reece-battlebus-coop-fortnite-gif-27231615

[lilac crescent]

Oh I completely forgot about that.

[fallen path]

Do your co-op!!

[zenith eagle]

Oh tysm almost forgot

[winged fossil]

7 multis worth of gems to go for me, give or take a handful. till i have pity

[topaz compass]

I will have 110k+, yay us

[gaunt iron]

Posting here because I'm tempted to spend gems but definitely can't get to a pity by the time the banner goes away D:

I appreciate the support y'all have here 🙂

[timber wren]

stay strong!

[feral vale]

Take some time away from the game, keep your brain occupied with something else you like to do!

[gaunt iron]

Thank you both 🙂

[warm scarab]

are we getting 2200 gems today?

[winged fossil]

This reset is 300, the one after is 2200 iirc

[vernal glade]

Then Part 2 is the next event for more gems which is the 10th

[hard wave]

Part 1 is the 9th and part 2 is the 11th

[vernal glade]

Oh part 2 the 11th

[sturdy hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/påvägtillcoop-gif-26574040

[winged fossil]

thanks for the reminder.

[tardy fiber]

I kinda want to see if aurochs have enough different GIFs for remaining days

[winged fossil]

how many coop days we got remaining?

[lilac crescent]

Idk

[feral vale]

EVERY TIME, I FORGET

[lilac crescent]

I can relate!

[fallen path]

Don’t forget!!

And you have gem zen as a reminder

[zenith eagle]

||I won't pull SSSteven just for the Psychic HSE. I won't. I can remain strong.||

[tardy fiber]

Be strong, i never pulled for HSE event, plus they said they will do multi type HSE event in the future so even less temptations to grab a non fave pair just to clear HSE

[zenith eagle]

Yeah exactly..I don't want the pair it'd just be nice to have for this specific event

Not gonna break. DeNA cannot have my gems.

[rare swan]

I had the same issue momentarily last night

But then I just let go and stopped caring about my score

[zenith eagle]

I'm kinda close to 180k but I'm not gonna let that affect my scouting choices. || I either get 180k without SSSteven or not at all.||

[crisp oracle]

||as yes lads, SS Dawn became my first pokefair pity ||

||Still in a solid place to get Irida before datamine, will the begin stacking for potential summer favourite and a shock SC Diantha rerun||

[tardy fiber]

Grats, i lost count of my pokefair pities, ive gone through a lot although i think its still less than 10 but probably at 8/9

[rare swan]

||My first was SS Diantha, so I hope that makes you feel a bit better||

[lunar thistle]

I need motivation

It seems hopeless right now

[rare swan]

Why is that?

[tardy fiber]

Oh wait if count SC and seasonal, my pities probably above 10

Plus MF too

[lunar thistle]

I'm at like no gems right now and it's only like 18k to the end of the month

[tardy fiber]

Well thats to be expected, the gems will be gone if you spend em

[rare swan]

tough spot but you will save up!

[crisp oracle]

NOOooooo not her ||hopefully Irida treats me a bit better||

if SC diantha comes around I'm expecting full pity on that combo banner

[lunar thistle]

How encouraging

[tardy fiber]

Well thats reality and thats why need to save

Better that i say that than encouraging you to yolo

Cannot do like 6 multis and expecting that 18k gems is still there after you done the deed

[sturdy hatch]

Save gems and do your daily co-op!

[vernal glade]

Try making a favorite list. It’ll help you save gems.

Same as usual, keep collecting the gems from events, daily missions, the co-op event daily, the shop for daily weekly and monthly, and weekly Rally.

[slate flame]

hey guys i want Gladion but i'll have around 25k gems by the last day he's around

please convince me not to yolo

[crisp grotto]

Try & imagine the feeling when you spend 25k gems and don't get him

No ||Gladion||, 25k gems poorer

[sturdy hatch]

No need for Gladion

[slate flame]

but what if I DO get him...

[slate flame]

tbf i don't really like gladion as a character, i just think magearna's really neat

but i pulled for ttar since i like the fluffy boi more

[dark oar]

If you cannot have 36.6k gems for ||him||, its best to just skip for now until ||he|| reruns...

[slate flame]

why are you spoilering him

i'm a goldfish, so i have the monthly gem pack + already bought the stadium and story packs so i'm not sure i'm willing to spend for the 10k gems hmmm

[dark oar]

If you're on the fence for it, its best to skip. You dont need him at all :x

[spare latch]

im sure it will get rerun

[crisp grotto]

This is pretty counterproductive advice in the Resource saving channel

[spare latch]

i was just asking

[crisp grotto]

Yea but you don't want to indirectly encourage someone into it

[spare latch]

good point

save up the gems brother

imagine sinking all the gems you have and not getting anything

[crisp grotto]

Exactly!

[spare latch]

master fair can be brutal

[vernal glade]

That’s true.

[tardy fiber]

I always prepared to pity Master Fair, but getting pity on pokefairs/seasonals/SC always hit me by surprise

But i guess 1% featured rate and 2% featured rate doesn't differ much

[slate flame]

Thanks guys, guess I'll hold onto my NY Lisia in the meantime

Thanks for helping me cope

[winged fossil]

Well. I was scared of this hse but uhhh. Then I did a 600 strength fight guess I’m completely fine reward wise.

Thought I’d prob not hit 180k without candying someone in this when Liza exists.

[cinder topaz]

Yippee!!!

[timber wren]

#1010223517565976737 has been updated

[lilac crescent]

I forgot to do the thing yesterday.

[broken mulch]

Err what are we celebrating

[compact pasture]

2 multis saved?

[sturdy hatch]

Do the thing!

[lilac crescent]

I already did

[vernal glade]

Oh thanks for the reminder I almost forgot to do mine today. Why can’t there be a notification in the lobby that said it refreshed

[hard wave]

https://tenor.com/view/zhu-li-gif-27319109

[dark oar]

Saving huhu

[lilac crescent]

What thing?

[tough oriole]

The co op chansey thingy

[lilac crescent]

What chansey thingy

[tardy fiber]

Big gems this reset

[winged fossil]

indeed. ...as well as palmer this reset... which worries me.

[tardy fiber]

I just gonna let my future self worry it if its too hard, who knows if Koraidon will be his counter or something

[winged fossil]

hey vanter, you got meloetta right? trying to remember. cause if i manage to find a team that your favs could do, i could toss a ping. gonna be trying stuff with rosa + riley core when palmer drops.

[tardy fiber]

Dont worry, i dont mind UB much mainly because of skill issues and device issue, it usually lags sometimes thus i cannot turn deny or do the queue thingy, i forgot the term

Plus sync orb bundle covers the UB gems anyway for the month

[winged fossil]

i might end up having to settle for at most 1 quad queue myself cause i still havent figured out quad queueing with rosa at all.

gonna be trying to see if i can figure out the tm timing though

[tardy fiber]

But im happy that i managed to clear EBE without pulling any featured this month

[winged fossil]

thats nice!

[tardy fiber]

Ariana saves me, well i do want her to give Silver a happy family

[winged fossil]

its really gonna be hype if riley can clear the UB fight.

[tardy fiber]

I just gonna throw scdiantha and nchop to him just to try

[winged fossil]

ah, right, ya have hop

lot better chance than me

im over here with 1/5 nc rosa and 5/5 riley and no other fighting favs yet

[tardy fiber]

But im lazy to delve in mp refresh rng for UB so i usually quit after 5-10 tries

[winged fossil]

idt this ones gonna be much mp refresh shenanigans. i suspect the biggest part will be rosa's bmove giving atk early in my case

cause i need riley's last +2 atk quickly

so i can save max move for nuke at end

[tardy fiber]

So far, i only cleared Thorton UB...others i will leave it to the future me

[winged fossil]

dunno which is worse, hitting 1/6 or so atk buff, or a mpr or two

huh, ya havent done darach? bit surprised there personally. i thought thered be enough field effects for that one to be easy for ya.
either way, im gonna need to fiddle with this teams third slot if im gonna beat it with riley. got some ideas i could try, but i doubt im going below 2 MF on this fight.

ima go play on the gamecube or something for now, before my brain fries on trying to plan the move order lmao

[dark oar]

Big gems indeed.

[upbeat lotus]

I dont think i can beat Palmer, but i have beaten everyone else except Darach im too lazy to get my ass up to bully him

Also i havent touched the perma villa yet

[tardy fiber]

Lucky you haven't done it, they added photo editor background on clearing hall 30....i did it before photo editor update and im too lazy to go through it again mainly because its 30 halls instead of usual 11 halls on rerun

[upbeat lotus]

They did that?

[versed flame]

yeah I'm lucky i got bored of doing the villa hallway through so hadn't finished it yet haha, only just did it a couple days ago

[tardy fiber]

Maybe i will do it on the month that i got new faves, no faves this month so lack motivation...just gonna do dailies and clear events while waiting for datamine

Well at least 3 of my faves get EXR

[sly crane]

Smiles

Gotta save for the day we get a Barry and Lucas alt …

[tardy fiber]

Barry Heatran and Lucas Azelf

[winged fossil]

lucas alt? we already have a lucas alt at home
lucas alt at home: Rei & Decidueye (H)

fr tho, im still a tad surprised he hasnt gotten an actual alt yet

nor have we gotten another dragon zone that isn't EXR based

crazy that one of the only dragon zone sources is so old now that they give him away via select for free

[lilac crescent]

We're never gonna understand who the canonical protagonist is in the Alola games #sun&moon

[tardy fiber]

Its Lillie

[lilac crescent]

NAW

She should be limited to a side character.

[strange trout]

But she is, the story follows her arc

The MCs are just kinda there doing the meme face

[tardy fiber]

And snatching legendaries like most other MCs

Poor alola, their 4 guardians got kidnapped

There goes lush vegetation and whatever stuffs the tapus brought

[tough oriole]

The only one who can bring lush vegetation is bulu who’s too lazy to do that and just stays in the desert

[winged fossil]

what do you get from a repeat song key?

[feral vale]

Power ups iirc

[crisp grotto]

[winged fossil]

is it just one ?

[sturdy hatch]

Sadly yes

[winged fossil]

rip

[lilac crescent]

Really?

[topaz compass]

I suck at this game, can't beat palmer with 1/5 rei, 3/5 mfs cynthia and hop

[dark oar]

you can ask help in #1009557516369281075 😮

[lilac crescent]

Wait, there's a Palmer Ultimate Challenge?

[dark oar]

yeah it opened up today.

[lilac crescent]

Holy cow.

The Battle Rally was probably hinting at that.

I think

[grim plover]

I got palmer and fighting weak bonus so maybe it wasnt a coincidence after all

[pure arrow]

Got my second rerun target of the month down today, time to retreat back into the saving hole hehehe

[tardy fiber]

Congrats, its always tough to chase rerun targets when the list is big. Luckily i already got all of my rerun targets

[oak crest]

btw van, if you ever want to try Palmer with your faves, there are teams that uses legend only teams if you are willing to use some cookies to modify their LS (2 of the teams were submitted by me)

[wind nymph]

Give me some motivation to save gems , i always feel like spending every 300 gems I'm getting 😭

[dark oar]

If you dont save up for a pity, and you are generally unlucky, then you wont really be getting anyone at all. 😦

save 🙂

[upbeat lotus]

if you yolo one more time, you must EX Acerola

[lilac crescent]

No no no.

You must EX Cheren if you yolo. (Even a worst Support)

[tardy fiber]

I will EX Cheren if he become lodge guest

[tardy fiber]

Oh no worries, i stopped doing it well it expires in hundred years or something so later

[tough oriole]

Nonono, they have to 20/20 Support Machop

[tardy fiber]

Oh thats harsh

[tough oriole]

You can’t use (must use ) on them and they don’t have an EX either

[lilac crescent]

Nonono. I got something better.

[tardy fiber]

I still cannot bring myself to 5* 20/20 eggmons

[tough oriole]

Jokes aside idt that Wasting Resources is a logical punishment for not saving

[lilac crescent]

20/20 Strike Wigglypuff

[tardy fiber]

At least 20/20 a shiny

[lilac crescent]

True!

[tardy fiber]

Shiny wigglytuff is a support

[lilac crescent]

Prove as a person with a 4☆ Wigglypuff.

[upbeat lotus]

most people are afraid of wasting resources on something trashy, so they dont spend gems wastefully (hopefully)

[tardy fiber]

I 4* all shiny eggmons

[tough oriole]

But then resources will become double wasted if they falter

[upbeat lotus]

[tardy fiber]

To avoid spending unnecessary gems for me is to remember pokewar sc, suddenly DeNa comes and threw 4 faves in a dry gems month... luckily i skipped fallmorty month so i got gems from that and leftovers from anniversary

[lunar thistle]

So you punish wasting resources by...wasting more resources

Make it make sense

[rare swan]

The "wasted" resources will always be of a much lower value than gems, the most valuable resource in the game - some people find this technique works for them, others do not

(I personally do not use it)

But if it works for people then it's fine with me

[sturdy hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/coop-co_op-co-op-tlf-gif-18743831

My brain can't rap that around. Can you be more specific?

[winged fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/my-hero-academia-boku-no-hero-academia-anime-mha-bnha-gif-8084261017707817481

almost missed it today cause thought i did it at reset

really need to stay on top of these with missing the palmer gems most likely

rileys results are... sad on his own in the UB, yet were my best results of all the teams i tried.

[winged fossil]

made sure to do it on reset this time so it wont risk being missed, but man todays a low gem count. glad tomorrows a good one tho

[tardy fiber]

Feels kinda rough to save 100k sync orbs, maybe i can only do 1 pair per a month plus

[sturdy hatch]

It’s very expensive

But also for some units you might not need the whole 10

[winged fossil]

Yeah there’s plenty of cases where just +2 energy is enough to get what they want

Going beyond +6 is gonna be pretty rare imo anyways due to move level gating. It’s mostly for units with 5/5 tiles imo for going beyond like +4 on most cases

Ofc there’s still cases where I’ll take +6. But aside from my top favs I’m settling for bare minimum for a good while

If I don’t need it for hse/ub/rally then I prob won’t even bother otherwise bc of costs

Rest of content there’s barely reason to consider it feels like most of the time, since those are just such a difficulty jump barring certain ebe fights

Rally’s my biggest case of energy investing though like with almost anything else right now. If I find a stage where the expanded grid on a fav will make it less painful I’m not hesitating

[upbeat lotus]

if you do over 8k pts in weekly BR, after being done with cake vounchers you can easily exchange for 100k sync orbs

[unkempt vortex]

Lodge stones don’t have a cap on orbs

[upbeat lotus]

how could i forget about such a good exchange

thx for reminding me

[tardy fiber]

Time to use my lodge stones i guess, it seems like the level cap increase using certs wont arrive anytime soon

I gonna limit myself to only give extra grid energy to 5/5 faves

[lilac crescent]

Oh wow. You made me notice that Lodge Stones are actually useful. Thank you.

[vernal glade]

Since daylight ended, we get our daily gems an hour later. Im gonna have to not forget about co-op gems.

[tardy fiber]

How many co-op days left? They gave us a whopping 15 today

[vernal glade]

I think it said ends on the 13th?

[tardy fiber]

Nice, we are almost at the finish line

[vernal glade]

Yes we are. ||Im almost to my goal, Irida.||

[arctic lark]

Is there a spreadsheet for the gems we get each day

?

[dark oar]

check the pins. it should be up there

#1010275375730925638 message

[crisp grotto]

See this

[arctic lark]

Mb tyyy

[sturdy hatch]

Trying to remind myself I already have the song key

[tough oriole]

I forgot to do the co op battle yesterday

[winged fossil]

whodunnit part 2 being bugged to this degree confuses the shit out of me

i unironically am throwing 500 stamina at stage 1 due to this...

cause im impatient

[tough oriole]

That’s not very resource saving zen of you

[winged fossil]

well, its entirely possible 1k total reward is a mistake too events being this broken on a rerun put a really bad taste in my mouth

[prime quarry]

I'm sure they'll fix them soon, you just need to be patient. That's a big part of zenning

[sturdy hatch]

If they pull the event and refresh everything and Rhythm gets the gems twice I'll never be patient again

[hasty umbra]

that'd be funny, but honestly only the tech coin would be worth getting twice

[tough oriole]

They’d probably extend the event duration to compensate

[upbeat pilot]

4 pities!

[tardy fiber]

So if they didn't fix it yet next reset, i can only do stage 1? compensate me 3k gems dena for emotional damage

[versed flame]

i still did stage 1-3 to get the daily stage, but i skipped stage 4

[sturdy hatch]

You get gems for the first clear

[foggy crest]

How do you resist :( I gotta start saving now as well

[glossy panther]

Hey guys!

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, or if it's been posted already, but there's a bug (?) in the new event, Solve the Case! (Part 2). By completing all mission rewards you can get 1000 gems.

PSA: there's another bug in the mission where you can only gain the rewards for "complete all areas" if you play Challenge Team Break (Part 1), worth 10 stamina! Do not waste any of your stamina on any other areas; you will not gain progress in the missions.

Here's some proof!
Sorry if this was the wrong chat.

[crisp grotto]

It's been posted in #pm-bulletin-board but 'preciate the message You're good! I'm not sure if the 1000 gems is a bug, since it was datamined with that amount - but the stamina part definitely is

[glossy panther]

Thanks for letting me know! I only found out today :>

[crisp grotto]

Np! It is weird for the event to have the 1k in the first place

[tawny cedar]

ARE WE ACTUALLY GETTING 1K

Or is it visual glitch

[dark oar]

actual 1k ;o

[tawny cedar]

We eating good today

[versed flame]

this event is straight up baffling, why 1k and why is the mission itself broken

it's a rerun too so they shouldn't even have had to touch much??

but well ig im not gonna complain

[vernal glade]

Im gonna wait till a fix comes.

[upbeat lotus]

Hopefully they dont fix until 2 days later

Lemme claim these gems first

[vernal glade]

Think will get a compensation for this bug?

[lament arch]

I have 2K rn

[glossy panther]

it seems strange that they would give compensation when people have already taken the 1k 🤔

[versed flame]

i dont think they can take the event 1k back but we most likely won't get compensation

[lament arch]

I got those 1000 gems reward, am I in jeopardy now because of this?

[versed flame]

it was already datamined apparently

and nah that's like... a normal thing any player could do, not cheating

[lament arch]

Thank god.

[vernal glade]

Guess you’re right.

[lunar thistle]

tw:||yolo|| ||is this incentive to pull as quickly as possible||

[lament arch]

"Tw" slogan itself infuriates me more than anything else, even Yolo

[lunar thistle]

What's wrong with it

[lament arch]

It just makes me furious because I associate it with I hate to say this word, problematic people using it. Thus, I use "disclaimer" or "content warning" instead. Sorry if I confused you or made you upset.

[topaz compass]

UBs are available forever. No gems to miss

[tardy fiber]

Got my lodge skyla today so there's nothing left that i want to look for this month, till datamine, well there's alsoCheren 3/5, Noland EX and Guzma power boost i guess

Will be a bit short to 3 pities with remaining gems

[topaz compass]

Guzma expansion pretty decent

He equals 1/5 escavalier now I think

[dark oar]

he got a DPS Upgrade and a Sync Nuke Upgrade.

As well as Propulsion stuff if you really want to.

[broken mulch]

Oh snap mah boi Guzma getting a boost this month?

[tardy fiber]

I gladly accept this, f2p bug type boost is very much welcome might help for high score

[topaz compass]

Is the 1,000 gems for completing all of new event part 2 an error?

[uneven bone]

Probably

[lilac crescent]

What did I hear about 1K?

[topaz compass]

So I had wasted my stamina on other tiers not realizing my progress wasn't going up. Should I spend about 200 free gems to afford completing them now, in case they fix it?

[uneven bone]

DeNA probably did an oopsie

[lilac crescent]

[topaz compass]

But they had alot of time to fix it before event started. Since it was datamined as 1k

[lilac crescent]

Take granted of it.

Quickly. If they handed about 30K on accident to every player, I'd be living and saving even more because there are no banners I want to spend right now.

[topaz compass]

Ugh guess I will throw away 200 or whatever to complete now

I spent 160 but completed them all

Odds are I just wasted 160 gems but oh well lol

[lilac crescent]

It's just 160 gems. How bad can it be? Right?

Right?

[fallen path]

It’s basically 2 days of gems

[topaz compass]

I'm a saver so it doesn't really matter to me if I never run out of gems

[fallen path]

I have missed 2 days of the game before

You won’t even think about it in a month

[topaz compass]

You underestimate my ocd

[lilac crescent]

That's probably most people.

[topaz compass]

But I will count on 0 apologems so hopefully we get 300 as a net gain

[dark oar]

Almost there

[lilac crescent]

Wait, you trying to reach 40K?

[untold tide]

the coins, probably?...

or the 36.6k pity

[dark oar]

Im just saving for datamine o/

[lilac crescent]

Saving to save. Noice.

[winged fossil]

I get that, just that my gem deadline is slightly tighter than I’d like. I’ll see next datamine if it’d take candy to keep my mf rerun list empty, as at least there’s a team I can replicate if it comes down to those 300 gems. Hoping an easier team pops up though than needing ncred candy

[vernal glade]

I still skipped the first UB months ago. Still haven’t touched it.

[tough oriole]

Oof, missed out on a bunch of stuff from the mechanized event

[winged fossil]

wellp, i used an today.

anabel is mean.

im surprised i made it this far before needing it, honestly. first week ive been unable to do VH

so now ive got some inspiration regarding saving, at least, as a result of that mess of a fight

[vestal leaf]

You could've just done hard instead

[winged fossil]

i only lost 200 more points and even that would of been hard with ssgladion + bp candice

[vestal leaf]

Nah

Hard is free

[winged fossil]

i tried it, and i almost lost to hard when testing it

before swapping to trying irida 3rd slot in vh

[vestal leaf]

That's weird, were you not running a bug unit?

[winged fossil]

no lmao you cant fit bug + ss gladion + weather on that role set

[vestal leaf]

You definitely can on hard

[winged fossil]

i still would have to answer the gimmick, wouldnt i?

[vestal leaf]

Is burgh fire weak?

[winged fossil]

yes.

yes he is.

[vestal leaf]

Then yeah probably not doable

Unlucky

[winged fossil]

very unlucky that anabel took BOTH slots of any worth

[broken mulch]

Could be worse

Could be triple slots when we don’t have answer lol

[winged fossil]

i might of been able to do something if i had the johto stat there but it still woulda been iffy ||especially since havent gotten ncsilver just yet||

[hasty umbra]

that was 310 vouchers, not a whole lot you can buy buddy, I know you hoard but c'mon

[sturdy hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-pokemon-masters-pokemon-masters-ex-pokemon-tina-tina-pokemon-gif-10463740617246978732

[hasty umbra]

get that field coin folks, they are rare as is

[winged fossil]

im actually not 100% certain if i did it yesterday, i think i did though.

yesterdays was like, 15 tickets or something right

[tough oriole]

Yup

[winged fossil]

alright, good. that reminds me, for the photo sweepstakes on twitter, does it matter much what im snapshotting in the picture thing?

the one thats got 500 gems tied to it

[lilac crescent]

I FORGOT!

[fallen path]

still got time before reset

[lilac crescent]

Oh yea.

[vernal glade]

Ya got two hours since we moved an hour a few days ago so you’re fine.

Normally if we were in daylight saving still, reset would’ve been next hour.

[lilac crescent]

Omg, your pfp turned into a shiny.

[topaz compass]

Strike/sprint Anabel is unfair considering she is meant for greninjas

[sturdy hatch]

Is today the final coop?

[upbeat lotus]

It ends in next reset, so yes

Now's your final chance to get a Field cake coin!

[tardy fiber]

Finally, i can stop caring about co-op for a while

[topaz compass]

I still can't remember if I missed one of the first couple days

[dark oar]

More coop content would be great that has gem rewards ❤️

[lilac crescent]

One reason to play with people and troll WTZ setters.

[upbeat lotus]

Me with Grassy Terrain team trolling every Electric setters

[dark oar]

wat i run grassy terrain too .-./

Though, this last co-op had me paired with Geeta and NC Hop

so they were both fighting for Zone .-.;

[robust plaza]

I run ss hilda with nc nate and nc rosa in co op

As sides

[lilac crescent]

Gotta be the one to troll all SST Reds with Psychic Terrain girl.

[lilac crescent]

Ok, that's pretty cool!

[versed flame]

i run nc nate, rei and nc rosa - lead with nate, and swap rei in if nate gets flinched or otherwise out of commission (happened a lot in those chansey battles actually)

[lilac crescent]

I wish there was intentionally a way to mess up your teammates.

[timber wren]

lead acerola, instantly click b frenzy plant with mix red, end the stage with max overgrowth

while the allies are still clicking TMs

oh this isnt general chat

hello fellow savers howsit

[lilac crescent]

Thought this was the saving channel, my good sir

[timber wren]

not a sir but i am always saving gems

[lilac crescent]

Oh! My bad. Um?

This feels awkward now.

[timber wren]

im closing in on five pities again

[versed flame]

funniest coop moment has got to be when a nc red got frozen and proceeded to do absolutely nothing for the rest of the battle

they didn't switch out or anything it was just there. frozen

[lilac crescent]

They gave up
They just gave up and let y'all do the work.

Because they know we know that we will get the job done

[versed flame]

wait no i misremembered they switched to irida but this was steel weak coop so by the time they set up raihan and solgaleo had beat the stage XD

[lilac crescent]

Time to troll.

[tawny cedar]

I'm gonna bring lodge falkner darach and sslyra to every coop event from now one

[versed flame]

you should bring lisia. three defog units is a Statement

[lilac crescent]

Wait, I thought Falker had a ||Variety|| and BP.

[versed flame]

bp Falkner is the one with defog

no lodge

[tawny cedar]

Oh

Anyways he's a funny feller to use

[lilac crescent]

Either way, who'd want to befriend a birdkeeper?

[tawny cedar]

Me.

[versed flame]

lodge Falkner gaming yesss

[lilac crescent]

Accepted.
Respected.
NOted

[versed flame]

i mean bp lol

made the exact same mistake 😅

[lilac crescent]

You just said ^

How do you mess up so quickly

[versed flame]

here we have a classic example of "hearing someone else misspeak and it entering your own mind"

bp Falkner is one of my most used bp units though fr

[timber wren]

reminder reminder

[topaz compass]

I hope next datamine has an insane triple banner or else I will question why I am skipping good banners

[tough oriole]

Smh mentioning units that are currently on banners

[timber wren]

im old and forgot where i was

[lilac crescent]

I see...

[winged fossil]

just a question: is it a bad idea to skip happy scout this month since im on a tight gem deadline atm? even though theres still some new gen pools im missing?

my maths coming up just under 4k short for pity so far, worried if the 25 gems putting me down the next 100 threshold will make the difference of reaching pity without paid and not

Another question is if I come up 300 or less short is exchanging two candies for pity (Palmer, current replicable clears require 3/5 gloralt or 3/5 ncred) a bad trade?

[junior trout]

Theres never a reason to not to the happy scout imo

At the worst its a free silver power up and at best its a move level or a 5 star power up, and for only 25 gems

That can be remedied just by completing dailies

[untold tide]

quite frankly 25 gems can be easily gotten back with their sync pair stories

[winged fossil]

I think I’m only missing like, three(?) gen pools atm, unless I’m misremembering. Have to check tracker when I get back to my pc

Gonna check if I got any unclaimed stories rn

Ok I have two stories so I think I can afford it

That’ll get me exactly 25 over the hundred mark

[lost bobcat]

Nah, it takes a total of 300 gem/year
It's 132 genpool units vs a single pull
Def worth it

[winged fossil]

apparently the only gen pools im missing rn are olympia, the watchog lady that i forgor name of, and...tierno? is that the name of the new gen pool from this month?

doubt he'd be in happy scout

[lilac crescent]

Can we talk about Happy Scout in here?

It's only 25 gems too.

[winged fossil]

i feel like its fine, personally. its just gen pools. fwiw heres the remaining ones to get to 3/5+. like 6 units to hunt for on this happy scout

im pretty happy overall that im managing to catch up on genpool in general, makes it easier to answer ebes without anything new

[hasty umbra]

I mean, if you don't want to then don't do it, the banner is good value even if it only yields PUs

[winged fossil]

ill prob end up grabbing it since i dont dip down a 100 barrier thanks to the sync stories i just did. i didnt notice i had 2 more to cover the difference

[lost bobcat]

Also we're getting apologems soon (unless it's stamina compensation )

[lilac crescent]

True!

[unkempt vortex]

That’s also wrong it’s skip ticket compensation

[hard wave]

Besides the new ones just grimsley to 3/5 for me, and id like my 5th volkner for the luxray frame

Other than that I think I have 3/5 melony and 4/5 courtney, lucian, and colress

[winged fossil]

id like 3/5 of every gen pool eventually, but thats mostly for sake of EBEs.

[lilac crescent]

I'm only missing like 5 gen pools. After that, I have to no reason to pull.

[sturdy hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/skeletor-let-this-be-our-final-battle-final-battle-last-battle-masters-of-the-universe-revelation-gif-23967354

[hard wave]

True, idt grimsley will be that useful for a UB tbh but id like his full grid anyway

The newer spotlights that havent been added to the tickets may be tho

[tardy fiber]

Kinda why i still do poma day multis, 0/5 melony/lenora/drasna and upcoming tierno. 2/5 lucian/ryuki. We never know when an event will have these general pool pairs have boosted drops and when they might be useful for an EBE.

[winged fossil]

for boosted drops you only need 1/5s thankfully

[winged fossil]

so the fact im close to completion on that end is pretty good

[rare swan]

Yup

I only just got my first Ryuki and I'm still Lenora-less, so

[vernal glade]

I’m still Ryuki-less and Lenora-less.

[winged fossil]

i only recently got access to both drasna and ryuki, and both seem pretty fun tbh

[rare swan]

[dark oar]

I have the 2 kalos women at 2/5

Need 3/5 for their nukes huhu....

[hard wave]

I still havent gotten drasna or ryuki, and my lenora is 1/5 and olympia 2/5

[upbeat lotus]

your Olympia is more than 1/5?

also Ryuki-less and Drasna-less here

[hard wave]

Yeah 2/5 was one of my 3 non 5*s from the tickets

[dark oar]

5 more months for them gen units into ticket scouts haah

[vernal glade]

I’m still saving my 5* tickets.

[fallen path]

yeah, i have used them once to get the power up

but otherwise i've saved those tickets

[dark oar]

I havent used my regional tickets yet but i do use the gen tickets

Mostly cuz i get a lot of them from expeditions

[lilac crescent]

In my opinion, it's best to save them. So you can use them all at once if you want to.

[winged fossil]

Now that I’ve basically capped what I can benefit from the generic 5star tickets I will prob just sit on them for a while unless I need s for some reason

Since one more copy of dawn and melony and I’m capped on benefit from the current pool I think

Bound to happen naturally when it’s just the two of them anyways

When you’re at 3/5+ on a whole pool there’s little reason to touch the ticket type till expansion comes. Dawn I have the important tiles of already for most fights

I think there might be something for melony but I’m willing to be patient for her final copy

Yeah just checked, precision pals and all ramped up 1

Team sharp entry is in there too

That’s about it

[zenith eagle]

Kinda sad cause no more coop stages from today

[feral vale]

~~Good ~~

[zenith eagle]

Good?

[cunning swan]

Good bcs i keep forgetting there's a daily co-op

Missed the first 3 days

[winged fossil]

i prob missed a day somewhere in there too

huh, just thought bout something, if i need +14600 atm roughly... i doubt the pins account for the twitter stuff...
im at +4350 to go after known gems... but in reality thats +3350 cause of those two sweepstakes... if im doing my math right.

...ive got pretty good odds here tbh

(of getting pity in time i mean, for my target, without extra investments)

[lilac crescent]

I feel ya

[winged fossil]

3k and change feels a lot better than 4k and change... hey, do the anni sweepstakes one have any guaranteed gems, or is it only to the winner unlike the other two?

[topaz compass]

I have like 5,000+ exchangeable scout tickets which is closing in on 200 5* tickets

I think I am spending them all at anni

I'll earn more for new spotlights between anni 5 and 6

[dark oar]

hum no boost for bug. that's rough :x

Viola can debuff sp.atk, and that's about it.

[broken mulch]

Oh oof

[winged fossil]

just realized, meant to post that in rally chat just now but meh, anyways. yeah

[dark oar]

if you haave Alder too, he can drop SP.ATK of enemies. + role bonus too

[winged fossil]

i do, i prob shoulda tried something with him but eh, 2/5 alder prob wasnt enough to get much done

woulda still ran into the low damage problem i think

the fight being the one with the most gimmicks and most hp at same time just makes it tough for the gamemode.

id imagine we'll be waiting for a strike/tech or tech/sprint that has enough debuffs for that fight to be answerable more reliably. and even then, still has to be a fav for me to bother.
i think my next hope as of right now is a water field fav to show up someday.

(i want rain extension )

[oak crest]

Tough luck, I got that stupid woman on both h and vh last week as well

[vestal leaf]

She's still better than 8 Palmers out of 12 rally runs, 6 of which with support/sprint/field bonuses

(I don't have Rei)

[oak crest]

I personally preferred palmer lol

[vestal leaf]

Have fun fighting him with support/sprint or support/field boosts

Or sprint/field

[oak crest]

NC leaf

Sprint field is BS tho

Lol

[vestal leaf]

I don't have her

Plus, is she even good in that stage with 1-2 buffs?

[oak crest]

Not sure

[vestal leaf]

I'd think the stage buffs would mostly slow her down

And without tech role boost it's really REALLY hard to kill him

[oak crest]

If I used a certain pair at s9 with intention to reuse at the last stg I normally don't touch their TMs

[vestal leaf]

I don't really get how that has to do with the discussion

[winged fossil]

I’d take Palmer over her. He can be brute forced with boosts

Anabel cannot

[vestal leaf]

Why not, I've beaten her with ccalem + may + Ssleaf with 4 boosts (tech boost)

And I think I actually had only 3 on

No defence buffs whatsoever

[winged fossil]

This assumes you have tech lmaooo

If you don’t get tech or support you are fucked

Talk when you have a bp Candice clear

[vestal leaf]

I mean I can say the same with Palmer and supp + sprint or field

[crisp grotto]

Y'all may wanna take this to #1009564564821639379, you're in gem zen afterall

[winged fossil]

Sorry

Forgot due to extension of convo wasn’t rally chat. Just waking up

[tough oriole]

Wow encouraging battle rally talk in the misc battles channel, how chaotic

[winged fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/umbreon-pokemon-yawn-gif-8098583

Got woken up earlier than usual today by my family

So again, sorry about losing track of what channel it was, will try to stay more aware

[crisp grotto]

Sorry were you saying something? Didn't quite catch that

[fallen path]

I went to the co-op tab out of habit and no battle is there anymore

good bye, random profile likes from co-op

[crisp grotto]

I'm glad they're gone I missed at least 2 maybe 3

[winged fossil]

I’m pretty sure I missed one or two. Glad they’re gone too since they had no icon of unclear in sp menu

(Even if I could literally oneshot the stage most of the time before an ally could even act, it was still a chore.)

[tardy fiber]

People still liking my profile pic, its kinda daily now...i should post silver's happy family earlier

I wonder if there's a title if i got 100 likes

[wind nymph]

Which story unit should I prioritize in investing?

[fallen path]

prob better for #poma-questions but Skyla

[winged fossil]

technically its an #1217072266878124122 question now i believe
