Not sure what's in their mind
Recent 3 months got new butterfree then rhyhorn then doduo on august
There’s still bunch of unused models currently
I think pretty much every gen 1 evolution line is in the game now
Still missing tentacool i think
Drowzee i think i saw its model but they didn't release it
I remember Doduo line being the only one without a model a while ago
Hope they make eggmon only content
So there's some value
Maybe make it a monthly event
I thought of you and was like…ouch. You also cover paradox?
Yep because koraidon and miraidon are paradoxes so i cannot be bias
Just like getting UBs because Solgaleo and Lunala and Necrozma are the same
||The math maths…wishing you good pulls||
Thank you, still got 120+k gems 
Welp-
I spended one 10 pull on the 72h banner
||Never again- (because yl what i got?......nothing)||
I have around 37k
||Am I mad about that?||
||Nah||
I'm still on pity and thats what important👍
you should spoiler pull results here
Oooooo didn't know that wait-
were you aiming for ||Ingo||?
no,I love him yes but nope,Emmet
Considering you tossed 10 multis from what i see, you're around 2 multis and 4 singles away from a pity. We're still at the start of august, so you can still collect enough gems to get to pity again.
if its just 10 single pulls though; save your gems 😮
that doesn't need to be put in spoiler tag btw 
Ingo nor Emmet is featured with high rates in any banner rn
Ah-
Lol
I did that just in case-
we just ask people to spoiler pull results and current/upcoming banners
and it's fine to discuss about faves and advice on how to save gems for them
kill it with fire 😮
Like holy crap i was wondering about getting 15k gems suddenly
Then they are like
TASTY BAIT
the 15k gems is rrorm the story rrewards changes
Well I just did a multi pull
(Aka 3k gems)
So uhm-
If I do spend my pity over the 72h banner (everyone kept telling me to not do it but I REALLY wanna do it)
is that true that I would have enough to have pity??
I mean I'm at 37k--
ah i thought you dropped 10 multis .-.
My bad.
you want to get your fave there, but what if that fave is able to be selected for free during anni?
and you could save that pity for another banner
Not as great as galar birbs bait, a week banner duration 
Yeah that's the problem💀💀
Well at least you stopped early
I wouldn't complain ngl
Ive seen fare shares of people only get 1 pair through pity via that banner
Cannot they just bump up the rates a bit 
Ugh fr
Atleast I stopped myself after I did my first multi
I was thinking the whole time about it
And I ain't mad that I did my multi on it but still thinking if I SHOULD pull on it or not-
my caution is this: you're likely to need to spend a whole pity to get anyone
but you want both ingo and emmet eventually
so you might be better off trying on a higher rate banner where you might be able to walk away before pity
and again their reruns are commonly joint with other pokefairs at good rates so in general a better deal
as someone who is also chasing a single older rerun Pokefair (Lear) and actually has a gem stash so could theoretically burn them here... not going to do it
the rates are just that 💀 to me
I'll wait for him to get a real rerun or free select
all I'm hoping is a free select
If not
Then

essentially, the main story rewards update.
that's literally what the game told you in the notif
you can check the dev letter for details~
I just didn’t expect almost half a pity when I read the top of it lmao
I genuinely empathize on the non lear havers
Absolutely painful he has had only two runs
And the second run was at the worst time
Absolutely criminal
Like give my king his crown
Sit on them and avoid the bait
Yeah I’m gonna skip this cause I know the odds of an anni being a fullskip for me are low… better I just sit on my hoard
Basically me with my gems rn especially since I haven’t been even bothering to finish some events lately. Sort of ended up on a partial hiatus from poma cause been focused on more self improvement and shit so my dailies and weeklies have been slipping my mind too lately
If I’m skipping some of the monthly gems I really do have to be careful with what I have.
Thankful this at least guarantees something if I find a proper banner catching my interest during anni
Always prioritise real life than games
We should get the 10k for referal new Players in August?
the gems will arrive in August yeah
Comes August 15th iirc
Allright. Thanks
neat hopefully i should get 3k

if I can get 3k from that it will be 6k additional gems extra this month for me (since we will be getting another 3k from presents)
I dont have any gems from refer event
sadge
I got an alt to help me do the refer a friend thing, someone I know actually went all out and made enough alts for the 10k
i managed to get 1 person for the refer-a-pal
so both of us will get 3k gems on the 15th o/
i only bothered to create 1 alt, but not sure if it fulfils 
i answered a newbie Q on reddit and then realised i could ask the guy to do my refer a pal
absol-utely posted something about new arc that says there might be a possibility of the mysterious stones no longer being collectible... but would they really take away an established monthly resources exchange?
I hope for not
Same. Because getting the move coins every month is really good.
it's also one of the few things worth from the general monthly exchange really
nah they wouldnt get rid of it, best explanation if they remove it is if they introduce another method of obtainment in PML 2
I still hope the general monthly exchange is updated one day 
same but its definetly an improvement from what it used to be
makes sense :O
Yep probably this, maybe a one easy 1 month duration event/quest that gives all of the mystery stones shop same rewards
My mind is still thinking if I should do the 72h banner or not
Yes yall keep saying no
And yes yall say that normal pokefairs reruns are better
But like
I already did a 10 multi so--
and maybe they will give us big gems for 5th anni who knows
But......
yeah idk what to do
Just don’t
just keep saving ;o
Those story gems from a few days ago boosted me over pity (too bad this month has two faves for me though ack)
wdym anni end? if you mean by the end of this month, you also have to consider the end of next month
By the end of September
we know the gem count of september?
i mean
I'm broke
I literally had to grind Google rewards surveys for a whole year for 4 dollars to get daily gem bundle
ngl still guaranteeing 2 out of the possibily 3 anni pairs is a lot more than other people can do
15k free gems coming in clutch fr
fr fr
i forget how long anni banners last. Obviously a month, but theres a chance you could earn a litle bit more gems in october
Sacrificing passive names for it was kinda sad tho
Hmm
23k in the first 10 days
Not happening for post anni month
Unless I get lucky on the first or second mf
i have 65k gems rn so i might be able to get to a 3rd pity, not sure
109,200 needed for 3 pities roughly
and 23k left this month
so 21,200 gems needed, which hopefully is feasible
theres also the possibility that anni units are complete dog water but ig we will see
Dog water?
yep haha, im just saying it would be funny if 5th anni pairs werent even ubers
5th anni prob creates ab entire new tier in the tierlist
but she's very good
the last stones chapters were very champion focused
Late reply sorry:
just keep saving........just keep saving.....
just....keep.....saving.
(me trying to handle my urge rn)
I'm always guaranteed the united I actually want, because of saving
245k free gems atm
Just......keep......saving
ahahaahahhha
(im slowly being shafted help-)
If we get under 25k for 5th anni that would be pretty pathetic
Granted I don't expect over 30 either since they gave the bonus 15k now
Btw everyone make sure to do all of your Hoenn VA exchanges!
Yep... after missing out on Gio Mega because I just forgot... I got Zinnia's Rayquaza to Mega Evo... ||Mega Mewtwo Y...
||
At this rate, it might take 6 days to clear a new event
i levelled up, managed to get to 4.5k-ish
3k so far.
Just login each day and stockpile stamina. Like stockpiling gems.
Hey all, how much can we get from permanent contents as a new player?
Has this been updated?
I do that anytime theres a Legendary Event coming up
Not yet but you can just add 15k to the total
15k, man new players eating good with close to 2 pities at the start 
Oh right should we update it to add UBs as well, it is kinda permanently obtainable gems as its like 900 years
I mean those gems are for true endgame so it’s not accessible at all for new players who are using the infographic

Yeah we had a talk about that but decided against it
Then maybe rename the title for newbie's permanently obtainable gems
I made it unofficially!
Technically I only have 482k d2p gems but its still nice I guess
Congratulations
A huge gem boost is a nice boost
Thanks unofficial
If my calcs is correct, I should get 500k f2p by the end of Aug
I think


man I wish I have ur patience because....I'm losing my patience already 😭😭😭😭
cries in pain
you are doing just great, you reach your first pity
the best step to saving is to hit smaller milestone and work your way to the top
also, don't pull that trap banner, rate is really bad unless you want to pity which honestly is a bad idea right now
Your biggest fave will be on a banner next month
that too
I gonna avoid 2/5 temptation...every gem counts before anni, also im also in danger if they shove my fave on fall thats right after anni 
Cannot let Fall Iris tragedy repeats again
I didn't know they will release a fave right after anni
I managed to get by because anni 2022 was ash, sstred and ssacythia so all skip and i only need to pull scrosa on that anni month
i am more surprise dena threw in MF Nemona so early before the real anni
def a bait for sure
Those are very based skips
Nah galar birbs are bait because only 1 week duration banner, ssnemona just follows half anni format like ssgladion
Probably their way going forward for anni stuffs
I can see that next year's half anni run up bait will be kanto birbs
Yeap
**you know whos my biggest fav is??
(Its obvious ik-)
I got one of the twins
i want both twins
I pulled because its the first 3* gear event and it requires co-op, and i thought people will mad at me as i only have brock onix that time...turns out some people even brought eggmons in it smh
Rock gear event iirc
I got 0/5 olivia that time too
So only both brocks available
Oh right you missed something submasfan, wait let me take a pic
submasfan?
ah, the song
People cannot get it anymore
welp, i have no Emmet right now
oh frick
oh well, that's for trying to wait for a while to get Emmet
Its from voting contest, and submas theme won
, my lear theme vote in shambles
yes
but still playing everyday and quietly saving
I have no twins
Maybe they will rerun tea party sc next month
i have sc twins
At least you can get costumed twins
ANY VERSION I CAN TAKE IDC ANYMORE❗❗💥💥
If he does
ur gonna see me gems from 38k to 0 in one minute
Better not, pity only costs 36.6k, you are overspending
this month shall be a true test to see if can avoid any pitfalls
reruns, mf reruns
Nemona
a test of willpower to tread through
my best advice is play log-in and do 10-15 min of the game and log out
and maybe stay off discord
Nah dw
The moment I spend the pity on a future ingo rerun I will immediately stop
i kinda took a break from discord for a couple months
I already falling but i dont care i waited for 3 dry months before a month of fave to appear (virizion and tornadus), so all these fave months are just rewards for my patience, still got 99k 
But my main gripe is, the months i skipped always has low gems smh
right Nemona is part of your fav
Yeap
this weird jigglypuff thing
Hope they spread em, like i can manage anni, but i dont want there's 1 paradox every month after this
that i keep forgetting its name
Scream tail
honestly, could be 2 or could be 3
yep, that's the name
everytime i see that name, i know its a paradox
I remembered the first released ones, i forgot the paradox beasts and sword of justice name though
the most uncreative name i've ever read
but at least i would kinda know what it is based on the name
Koraidon and Miraidon are also paradox, its supposed to be named as winged king and iron serpent. But we told the professor its name is koraidon/miraidon in the dlc
Thats why they got different names
ah yeah, they are
Just i wonder if Booster energy item will be part of paradoxes kit here
(Late reply sorry-)
........W H A T
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
WHY DID I MISS ON THIS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

rip
Blame it on all those that vote subway bros, i voted lear theme
Well you can always listen it on YouTube
I think the ones who voted for them are obviously the Japanese fans cuz of how MEGA popular they are in the Japanese fanbase
but like.......I'm sad that I missed out on this
Why feel sad for thing that you did not involved in
Its not your fault you havent joined
Or havent played during that time
Just plan and face the future
I mean i wanna hear it myself that's why
but....guess imma go to YouTube and listen it there myself
Idk when that voting thing happened
Cuz I first played the game during 2022 but entered a LONG hiatus after that--
I also forgot when the voting happen but lucky participants will get a CD full of poma tracks
Iirc one person in this discord gets it
Tate, obviously 
BRAVO,EXCELLENT❗❗
THATS CORRECT❗❗
/j
ANYWAYS
IM SURVIVNG GANG
I DIDNT PULLED TODAY🤌🤌
MEE TOO

THIS IS GREAT
BRAVO TO US FOR SURVIVING THE 72H BANNER❗❗
(And pulling in general)
My 72h banner still left 18h
18.75 hours for me
My reset time is 9 am my time tomorrow..
I don’t think reset time matters that much
No
im happy that I survived this far without going crazy
Cuz if you know me......
I have a tendency to.........
going all out on pulling when I didn't get anything good
This happens in EVERY gacha game I play
When I pulled for sst red and didn't got him in my first multi
got gacha addict mad and kept pulling til I ran out and didn't got him nor getting pity
Mine will end 50 minutes after reset
I honestly recognise it myself
Yep it suppose to be gone next reset
I generally speaking can’t handle getting particularly bad pulls pretty well 
Yup same
When I did my first multi on the 72h banner
I got pissed and wanted to pull again but for some reason I stopped and didn't pulled after that😭😭
To cope with poma pulls, i play multiple mobile games so when its saving mode in poma, its pulling mode for some others
So it relieves the itch
Thats how i survived 3 or 4 months without pulling in poma before this 
At those rates?
lol not even worth considering
Helps that there’s no unit I want in there
I was quite mad with my last month Summer Tiered Scout summons 
Although some said that its kinda good for newbies, i think with almost 2 pities of newbie gems during this new update, better to pull unit specific banner because the units you get are random outside the 400/400 pity.
Yep
I might change my view if it has higher rates
I do wonder if the pool gets updated at one point
The banner is technically available for everyone
The banner said in the game that it has 10% to get a 5 star
MEANWHILE
to get a limited 5 star,their like......0.2 percent kinda
Thats why it feels bad
For me it’s better to save for a dual/triple banner if there’s one I really want
Its as bad as 3k gems for a guaranteed 5* with a small chance to get seasonal a long time ago
Or save for selects
Yep this is better
yeah
If this wasn't came out before anni month
I would've pity to get Emmet and thats it-
but with a possible ingo rerun next month cuz ground/dragon type hse event and no exr yet...................
ofc I gotta save
You know, I thought it was funny to calculate how much you would need to pity all units from that 72 hour banner
36 600 * the number of limited pokefairs?
I checked it takes at most 3000000 gems
And by only buying that 9.8K for €79.99 from the shop, it will take €24,556.93
It will be better if it have all pokefairs, but no 5* general pool in it. Saw a bunch of videos that people get general pool 5* instead
i guess theoretically it's the same as if you wanted to pull them on normal debut banners ?
like all pairs
But that’s the price if you get the worst possible luck for a collector
yeah if you're collecting all units the difference is just that you can stop early if you get a specific pair from their specific banner and try for the next one
Some of the pokefairs are kinda dated, so i think pulling a specific unit banner is still better for the roster
I honestly thought it was fun to calculate a bit
no yeah it is interesting to see
(I still suck at calculating chances though
)
and also hammers home how impossible it is to collect all units as F2P
Although all seasonal banner will feel way worse as they got no hope for 5/5 grid or power boost, only recent seasonal got EXR treatment for now. Although iirc there's an exclusive lucky skill cookie for summer N this datamine so they not completely forgotten about em
Will really need an OP lucky skill if they want to make lyrapuff viable
oh huh there is? didn't see that (i don't have summer N but that's cool)
This
I don't think it's really worth it cookie, but it's still interesting he got it
Yep at least we can cope for seasonal lucky cookie now
also should I even be surprised N will appear in Arven's event 
not even EXR? 😦
Probably useful if you want to make double zoroark gaming to manage the gauge easier but thats it 
That’s actually me.
AHHAHA THATS RIGHT!!
IM F2P SO THIS IS RELATBLE
cries
(Litterally my pfp fits me rn)
MOOD
I only spend money if I REALLY want a unit.
That is me too
Until i saw the rates of the 72h banner💀💀
Yeah that’s a big yikes… I should’ve just saved 3K for Selene.
What's sadder that (i have to keep mention it)
I already did a multi on that banner and got ||NOTHING||
sighs
Why am I like this-...
you can remember it to motivate you not to YOLO again but you don't need to think about it over and over again if it'll make you happier not to
it happened which yeah gems gone but you can take it as a teaching moment
at least it only took a multi for you to reconsider
I think they are going to release lillie/alolan ninetales late Sept or October
Just to really push people to buy gems post anni
Yup
I still remember those cringy pulls i did.....
Like that sst red banner where I didn't got him when he was reruned (nor reaching pity)
And when I reached pity on SS N's banner (when he first came out) I didn't even BOTHER to 3/5 him and got NORMAL ETHAN instead cuz I was a MASSIVE ethan fan💀💀 (still am to this day but like....)
cuz I got SS N twice so I was like "eh I don't need another dupe,I can finally get my boi ethan cuz I got nothing in my johto tickets :D"
that aged like crap

Don't ask cuz I was a VERY newbie at that time
Man.....imagine an alternate timeline where I 3/5'd my SS N.......
smh
I am VERY MUCH struggling to not think about the 72 he banner
Already lost a multi to it
Twas a dead so it's more offputting now
But the temptation lingers
I think #1147355613198815352 has what your looking for
AHHAHAHA SAME
I'm surviving but not surviving too
Even my pfp explains myself rn😭💀
So guys
go ahead and roast me for what I did here pls

The 72h starts after you log in on the day of its release, not at reset time
Haha dw a lot of us do things like that when we’re new 
I for one joined in June 2020 and ||pulled Burgh… The gen pool pair||
Definitely a decision of all time… I suppose in those days, limited banners were much more uncommon?
i remember when i got||NC Silver|| on the multi on pity and scouted Hugh instead of 2/5ing him 😭
AYO WHAT
I guess we ALL had those moments then
Atleast that made me feel a bit better😭😭
i also selected the free ||Gloria|| from the 4.5 anni (when i joined) and i regret it so much because no ||redlax :(||
I pitied Sabrina on the ssleaf banner in 2020 because I had 4/5 leaf at pity, so I didn't think 5/5 was remotely worth it
||Gloria|| also is awful at 1/5
lol
Here's me who has ||redlax|| randomly
I got ||him|| in a random 10 pull and I was HAPPPYYYY
||I just wanted red in general,I never knew he was SO GOOD TO HAVE||
Ohh thx I saw this late mb
........almost 8 hours.........
38k gems........
33 points......
h e l p
Stay strong
I'm gonna go panic mode tomorrow when it will be less than 1 hour for me💀💀
consider this- what if the submas come in the near future as a master fair
also the pokefair submas rerun frequently
.................I WILL SAVEEEE❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗
I do this timing method a lot and I have a short schedule of when I expect some things to rerun

for example, anni typically rerun on the following year's december
for example, 2022 anni reran december 2023
Ingo also last reran in August 2023… A rerun for him soon would not be unexpected
Especially because of the upcoming HS in September (plus Ingo doesn’t have an EX Role yet I think… prime time to give him one)
It’s a 36.6k select scout it’s not worth it stay strong
Ingo, Anni Raihan, and AltLeon are the 3 Dragon/Ground PFs who have had their rerun the longest time ago, so I think them having reruns is pretty likely
Istg if I see an ingo rerun during anni datamine
You'd be seeing me spam in chat,scream in the corner and get him in day 1💀💀
Infact
this might happen
Ingo is a unit they like to rerun for gauntlet banners
I wouldn't mind this either actually haha
Same with my favorite characters; it’s not like Zinnia’s a stranger to this but at least her story should be good for what it tries to do
Richu
its been a while seeing you here
Hope you get anniskyla
Gauntlet?
As in legendary Gauntlets??
yes
there is always a triple banner running concurrently with a featured rotation
like this one (LG16), there is ||a triple banner with SS Diantha, Emma and Iris (Alt.)||
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
yup since he's a sandstorm unit they like running him with moltres LG
Ooooo then like-
when is moltres lg if that's the case?
forget it's there, stay strong ! unova NC pt 4: submas edition
not sure but it has been a while i think ? might've last been the August LG last year where he actually did rerun
That unova NC Thing make me wanna save even though I doubt this will happen😭😭
as mentioned by winston
no it won't lmao yeah
but you know what is a long shot that is maybe actually feasible
warden Ingo 🤔
Ingo (Alt.) XDDD
no he didn't come from the space time distortions he just got inspired to do some historical cosplay after befriending irida
LOLLL
honestly,idk if warden ingo has a chance to be in the game but I would SAVE LIKE CRAZY for him💥💥
yup! one approach to gem zenning is making a list of saving goals or targets
it motivates you to save your gems because you think about what you could need them for in the future
for example submas were one of my main goals when i started playing last year
and eventually after several months and careful spending i got them all :)
i had decent luck; Emmet came on the first multi, Ingo was near-pity, and the butlers took one pity combined. but i was only able to do it by saving (Ingo banner was also the month before anni haha)
after that i pivoted to saving for unova NC (now finished) and hisuian characters and I'm still doing that now
:00
it's good to have gems in reserve if you're chasing reruns since you don't know when they'll pop up !
tbh i just like building up a big reserve in general because of jumpscares like unova NC pt 2 (i thought we were done with that lol)
(not complaining but if I'd had no gems then I might've been tempted to break the f2p status haha -)
Yup-
As an f2p I relate to that SOOOO much😭😭
but anyway! it's just a funni gacha game, best not to think about it too hard
save until the faves show up, enjoy not being stressed about whether you can get them or not, and repeat
joltik ur a massive help for me aaahhhhh😭😭
And even better
the 72h banner is over
I.....survived
congrats to everyone for enduring the temptation
I still have 2 hours left on my One Ring
actually wait it isn’t even that tempting why did I just use that comparison
i might have some left but i already mentally checked out haha
WAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Its easy to resist when ||i have to pull other fave banners this month
||
I think i will also resist select scouts
At worse i can grab em on anni that doesn't have many faves
Better keep the paid gems as backup funds
8.9k event points, i might need 1 more day 
This new event format takes too long 
I can finally skip in peace
Now I have to wait for one thing.....
inhales
datamine
Its manageable for now, but if its alongside VA rerun again 
Like i cannot miss those because of regional scout tickets
But that will snag 60 stamina daily

Oh datamine....
please come early🙏🙏
anniversary soon. endure ;9
and, dont open that screen.
just get your free daily scout and dip
I didn't until i posted this
The fucking image has been ingrained in my brain since yesterday
The intrusive thoughts tell me I can spend a multi and still have 2 pities for anni
My rationale says that single multi could let me bag the 3rd anni unit as well if im lucky
or you get shafted by general pool units. its not worth it.
yeah precisely, and a multi on this banner will probably net you nothing
Each multi on every banner is one 12th of a pity lost
Temptation of the 72 hr banner has been banished, stayed strong
SAMEEEEEEEEE

Now-
Let me wait for datamine.......
s i g h s
||Oh yeah I forgot about the free 100 pulls banner too-||
Y a y
The what
On ||August 18th||
||We will be getting a pokefair banner where we get free multi every reset time for about 10 days||
||Its an fair exclusive banner with every pokefair to greta||
||But We don't know the percentage of getting a 5 star tho...||
Probably be 0.5%
||It's I think 0.025 for an individual PF pair with 2% total like last time||
||and 7% for 5* in general||
Oh right like last time we
yep
That feels bad
on average you should get 2 PF's 5* units from it
but yea, the 1 in 8 chance of getting nothing feels bad
..............||B R U H||
||NAHHHHHHHH,NOW IDK IF I WOULD BE LUCKY OR NAH😭😭||
||
||
Pray to the gods
Well
Let's make it a suprise for people who doesn't know about it ;3
IM ALREADY PRAYING
🙏🙏🙏🙏
PLEASE GIVE ME A LIMITED 5 STAR PLEAAAAASSSSSEEE,oh and submas too :3
(which will not happen at all)
Ehem
PLEASSSSSEEEEE
Oh darn, i just noticed, with the new event format we cannot farm
, because all of the additional points give exp books
change
Although it might help if VA rerun follows old format, but still the VA event is just like half of a month, so there's a half where you cannot farm PUs 
oh why must you subject me to this knowledge
I do notice there's more 5* PUs in other areas tho, I wonder if that's why they were fine with the change?
Not even the new daily scout later can compensate
, if you get 30 3* for the
for a whole month, for sure i am able to farm more than 30
with old event format per month 
Just wait til this age badly💀💀
or not who knows
i made it past the 72hr banner without pulling 
I pulled once but didn't after
👌👌💞💞
I'm doing this for my bois
Just wait.......I will get them
:3
If we can’t farm 3* PU I’m going to cry, I got almost 2k before the monthly reset thanks to Hoenn and the Stamina boost 😭😭
I tried scrolling through, any resources on scrounging up gems?
I mean the only way once you're on par with main story and modes is logging in, doing content and not spending
+freegems
70K?!??!?!?!?!?
I've done everything execpt legendary arena (some of it)
And Champion stadium cuz I suck
70k is almost 2 pities woahhh😭😭
im slowly might wanna start a new alt account cuz of this
And since the 72h banner happens after I complete normal mode of the champion stadium.......
ehehhehehehehehehehehe
Thanks tai
It takes days to get those 70k
Probably more than a week
I speed run
I mean
I can't even BEAT champion stadium hard mode at all so yeah
makes sense😭😭
VAs and other old events will still use the old format
It’s won’t make up the difference though, probably
Like this reset for example, i already got 10k event points with nothing to burn up for because i dont want exp books 
Maybe i will use stamina at lucky cookie area
Not gonna use it at rng lucky feathers place
As someone who's been on 6 digits for a long while now
I can attest it feels delightful
I've been pinned
IM HERE
Oops
ah
Its ok its ok
Totally an accident....(hope you get faves next month!)
Awwww its ok!
(Also thanks! ^_^)
the new event format really sucks
Kinda, i gonna farm lucky cookies area while waiting for new event, well we will get sinnoh VA in 2 resets
lucky cookies without the lg ones are useless
But its the best area for me as i am not gonna delve in skill feathers RNG and i already farmed plenty of theme orbs before
I am also not lacking any codexes
yeah its kinda bad.
it's basically picking the least evil with where to spend stamina
Still need to burn 100 stamina daily to clear daily missions so better that i get cookies than extra exp books
I'm only spending it to get exp for level
i have over 500 of all cookies and i didn't even farm lg in 2 years
New event after this will be harder, as it will run alongside sinnoh VA and sinnoh VA daily battle for sinnoh tix will already took 60 stamina off. Will be a while before reaching 10k
There's penny event rerun also on 13th
Arven event on 10th
I’m with y’all on the new event sucking lol
I don't like having useless resources forced on me, I must say (like the unique LCs for units I have no intention of ever pulling)
I like how much less stamina it takes. I never used to have the whole event done in only a few days
It need 6 days for me to get 10k, with no level up
The stamina thing doesn’t matter to me that much
I’m just farming the power up anyways
Will be longer after this as old event rerunning alongside new event
Like sinnoh VA dailies already minus 60 stamina
And need to reach 10k for arven event as well
reaching 500k soon
ngl i think i have been hovering around 400k-500k for almost a year
and also poma recent battle rally has been more of a chore if anything
starting to wane interest cos of this
BV was much better cos of the gems
and less frequenr
yea ikr
its very chorish
it has made me to the point i might consider not buying dailies anymore
yea
the constant switching to fit the team is damn annoying
at least in BV u can keep the same team
It’s not enjoyable to me also. So I just rush through on easy difficulty and call it a day.
I'd rather do LG solos than BR
i just breeze through CSMM and love BR :>
Not enough to get me playing it 
ugh, LG Solos are my bane ;-;
haha this is me for egg events
completely skipped that event since that event just give bronze powerups
Egg events are really just for the LGers

i just
open it when its flashing, see the hatchedd eggs, queue up the next 3
and just dip lol
I still do rally, at least until i catch up with my to cake Faves list. I will still force myself to do it 
But so far, i just put a support in team for every fight even there's no support boost and buy 6 specific boosts to make the mode way less stressful
Got dark boost this week 
I still love Rally the most lol
Miss me with the damn DC and my phone making it impossible to reach for the stars
I stopped trying so hard for DC, even if they add 1 new DC pair every month, i can catch up and get the pair
Now only left the sprint DC pairs
Damage Challenge has been my favorite recent addition
Rally…ehhh it’s ok
I hate how a good run can come down to the rotation you get
It will be a while before i will be comfortable with, having a large enough roster that has a good amount of every roles for each types is one of the ways. That said, it will be a while before my roster will be able to reach that heights
i really like rally, but i've missed it a couple times too
i think it's useful to get the mindset of the optimisation being an extra
if you just want to treat it like BV for gems you can quickly run through the easy mode versions
it's just really easy to fall into the mindset of "oh but i could get so much more if i just pushed it" which is all well and good until you actually don't end up finishing it at all
a lot of the time i start it doing VH and then it's ten minutes to weekly reset so i just smash through the medium stages for the last bit and the easy area 10 😅
BV was a grind anyway, i think Rally is more fun
I'm content with 8k weekly rally points at least
More if the last stage isn't anabel
Yep this advice is true
Im happy that i got enough to claim all cake coins at least, although i have some spares that might be useful for co-op orbs, i rather save em for emergency
the past three weeks ive just gone into villa mode and run one team to clear every stage (i change it on the last one if needed) and im enjoying it a lot more
with three caked units on a zero mp team i still end up taking hom 6-8k points
which is more than enough to clear the shop each month and it takes way less time
In f2p gems right?
Also, this months have been pretty busy and hectic all summer so did not have too much time to play alot of pokemon masters but still get all my dailies in
But not looking foward to grinding LG for more ultra cookies
I should try this

I just buy 2 theme boosts and 2 power boosts before hitting a10 o.o
yo this is wild
Also I actually enjoy BR 
But to think you're getting the same amount of points as me who uses different teams and actually kinda tries makes me think I'm doing something horribly wrong 
that's madness! 
Lowkey I like all the game modes these days except LG lol
My most hated part of this game is pulling units cuz RNG is annoying / frustrating
I like LG because just like CSMM, i can do full faves run for it. Not like BR where i usually was forced like this week dark boost, yet i only have 2 dark faves, and they cannot last all 10 rounds. Maybe i will love LG more when my faves roster expands a bit
HSE is also forceful 
I thought LG is Gauntlet
Yep gauntlet
I can do full faves team for it
Although it only help me to do like 12-17 streaks, but its fun when its all faves
He meant BR
Ah
All good man
I forgot about the possibility of LG theme runs but not gonna do that for a LG with Moltres lol
Well at least next month will help my BR run a lot, 6 new pairs from Battle Points will be a significant boost to my roster
Thats why i only do 11 this time 
Yes, I love the flood of free units at anni!
Yep like i cannot stop praising bp olivia as my elite four support units are kinda limited so she is a great help when i get elite four boost
Cannot wait to see the new 4* and 5 star bp 
I like that DC gave free units, just wish they weren't obtained so slowly
I think i will have enough to 3/5 em day 1 if there's no more support MF faves next month
True, although i kind of still optimistic as i probably can amass 300 tickets within 8 DC events each month. So that speed is still faster than forming a bp rainbow ticket. I compared em as they are both 5 star base pairs
If they added 1 new each month, we probably can clear it once the types that we able to reach 1 mil points returns
I probably gonna grab each pair a copy first before i chase my first 3/5 DC pair
Hm. Interesting prospect. So aiming for 400k per DC...
But so far, seems like the field pairs works better for my roster with 1/5 EX compared to sprint pairs
Alas, i gonna grab Hugh Unfezant next just to give lodge skyla Unfezant a partner 
i mean with 6 roles on the team odds are good you match 2-3 every stage, which works out to 6-7.5k per run
you buying any upgrades/power upgrades?
I bought 6 upgrades+apple cup and i can still get 6k per run 
They will probably add 1 a month but stop when all of the opponents we face become DC pairs
They probably add more enemies, there's no paldea rivals yet iirc
Oh wait nemona
But they can add penny and arven
Kieran and carmine 
usually spending 200 or less points on upgrades, just depends on what shows up in the shop
wow. I can't do BR without at least 5x stats upgrade lol
I've learned that being stingy with buying upgrades is what makes it difficult / take too long
So I buy liberally
You are better than me, i bought 6 stat upgrades + apple cup 
I bought 2 upgrades in the last 2 months lol
And I barely need to try more than twice the harder stages
oh i try not to use more than 500.
its basicaally 50 per stage deficient
I despise Rally so much that I regularly buy 14 upgrades
What's the point then, just do all hard stages then
I don’t min max the BR anymore, take my 7k-8k points and go (when I want to do it)
I usually get 9K minimun
I get 8Ks
Unless it's that one bonus role seed then it's nearly 10k
The months with 5 resets helps alot
issue with BR is that stupid end battle can ruin the enjoyment
or if you can't rng a decent generic bonus
I'm looking at you Anabel
yeah… ihy anabel
Personally my bigger problem is the random difficulty spikes in between the A1-9 battles
You could have exclusively kanto/johto CS stages or extremely gimmicky BCs or NC fights
Fighting a stage with Hail and HE9 Freezes is fine when it has a normal amount of HP and you can predict it, not when the stats are inflated and potentially get less rewards for bringing antigimmick pairs
Area 9 being that Kris Battle Challenge 
woe
Penny battle challenge be upon ye!
I hate getting an NC Leaf stage on the higher numbered BR stages
no shame in taking a VH stage to preserve your sanity
Tina Battle Challenge
Piers BC is also kinda annoying but not notoriously bad tbh
A common occurrence for me on Stage 10
I gonna continue rally this reset, i will be able to EXR ssdiantha today, who knows that i might need more field for later stages 
not me using SST Red/Pikachu, Champion Silver/TTar, and SSA Cynthia/Lucario for all stages on very hard every week 
Does it work?
gets me by for the most part. I do spend points tho. I'm not looking to min-max this piece of content since my Pair Pool is shallow. I just want to buy the Power Ups and 300 Gems per week.
Same 🤝, at least i do enough to claim all cake coin vouchers from the shop. Not having enough to clear sync orbs aint a big deal for me 
Doing it without stress by using boosts and apple cup is great
Well I also do all hard stages
I've only completed 10 chapters of the PML arc and beat the league. I already have 30k Crystals Saved. Is that good progress
I mean, you get a lot of free gems from doing story and all that.
Use +freegems in #bot-zone to see what I mean
Saving is still saving tho, you can use the gems you got to save up for your fav character(s) 
I have seen that and I am aware , but as I have been told many times to not spend until atleast 36.6k which I'm very close to. And I am not particularly interested in any units tho , so I am more tempted to save. Thanks for the Advice!
Holy hell bro that's amazing
I just recently tapped over 20k for my first time
I mean, every new player gets a ton of gems through story, it’s basically a free handout ^^;
Yeah, I just didn't see how important saving up was until it was too late unfortunately 😔
Second time this year I've had a pity saved 😙. I'm ready for Arven!! 🐶
please put upcoming banner in spoiler tags to avoid others getting tempted
congrats on the achievement tho!
So... what's the deal with the 10 Pair Scout?
Will they include units that have just finished running or nah?
according to the banner image every PF up to Greta's release is included in the pool
Hope that i can get new pairs from it 
📿
I’ll probably just get old gen pool units from it lol
Shit, I forgot about that egg mission.
Almost slightly rich,75% of the way to Pity
Question about the 10 pair scout, will NC Sliver be there?
No
Well only PF are included in the pool alongside perma 5*
There is no way Master Fairs join a free banner
and it's only the PF's released up until Greta
Damn.
Still a lot though, 81 pairs to grab
already minus arven and 2 alola alt
My hopium will be gloria, N, kabu, volo, iono 
Wow I'm 1k away from pity
I don't even deserve this pity, I only got it from the 15k extra gems
Gacha was nice so I did a quick calc and I can safely say road to 250k is real 
500 is from the galactic p2 rerun missions which I haven't completed yet lmao stamina moment
take what you can get!!
Speaking Volo, it's so annoying they didn't put Volo and Rika in the permanent Lodge scout banner smh
And now iono too
I wonder if they want to wait till anni before they update lodge banner
or way longer
then you have Adaman and Irida straight up being locked behind MF that didn't even rerun yet iirc
Luckily only eeveelutions stuck behind them, if one day there's legendary pokemon locked behind non faves lodge MF, i will totally pull em just for the lodge pair 
legendary in Lodge 
Brandon and mudkip pair I cope
ahhh
brandon
Brandon in lodge would be a Regi in lodgee.
actually does he even have a non legend mon
A Regi that iss capable of EX, comparerd to the regis in BP Shop. .-.

we do already have a regi that can be EXd
Palmer?
oh that's true
Does Palmer have an
role?
yes he released with one
yeah
one of the first
Nope, for the second badge he will use all kanto birbs
Shiny Kanto birds soon?
as long as they're not kanto
With pogo team leaders 
Hurm pogo team leaders will be like paulo, lear, MC...they got no region tag 
Region: Spin Off
Region: earth
Earth confirmed worst region
Always has been
finished battle rally down to the wire again 😅 but at least i did it
Nice
20k to go. Calculation said I’ll be at 200k in early September.
I was on A10 before reset but couldn't get it done before the weekly reset 
this has happened to me multiple times too hahaha
i only did a9 medium and a10 easy because i was at like a8 with five minutes left
At least you did some BR last week 
42k.....
4 2 k
49l for me
Didn't know you had 49 losses 
DON’T JINX ME
I'm making progress
I CAN FEEL IT
I WILL GET MY BOIS THE MOMENT THEY RERUN AHAHHAHAHHHAHHAHHA!!!!
but imagine i got submas in the 100 pulls pokefair banner instead💀💀
im doubtful tho😭😭
What's the gems count until the 27th?

I'm asking cause I don't fully understand the pins
But IF THAT HAPPENS.....
what am I gonna do with my gems??😭💀
Save it for SC subway bros 
They are not pokefairs so you cannot get em through free 100 pulls
Ik that
I think I should since SC take a WHILE to rerun--
SC reruns yearly
Oooooo
I will consider that
Almost at 31 gems 💪🏻 it pays to save
I am in super saver mode since Anniversary is coming up
Gonna keep saving through anniversary; hopefully it’ll beworthwhile
My goal is to save before and after anniversary.
My hint of my goal that isn't TOTALLY obvious:

this gif made me wheeze
WHAT AM I LOOKING AT!?!?!?😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
forknife
understandable have a great day
someone send me a gif of submas doing default dance and I will give u all my gems (trust)

So close to a full pity!
6 digits soon™️

this is a masterpiece thank you
@gloomy holly the amount on the far right is how many are left, you don't subtract it from the starting amount
whoops missed two days of dailies this week... I'm simultaneously both excited for anni and kind of bored of the current stuff
welp gotta keep up the gem grind
almost five pities.... Soon
I had to login often this week, too many simultaneous events so every stamina i build is valuable 
Joltik
im so with u for this one
I can't even do champion stadium so every day I just do lodge,do quests and thats it
And then cycle repeat--
Thats why i went on a 2 year long hiatus
***until I came back cuz of them:
***
yeah honestly that's part of what I'm missing too... such high stamina usage with the new event format
YES VATNER
the new event format kills me bro-
like w h y

Next event will be on sunday reset, so hope that i can clear some of the events in this timegap 
Sunday will have ssnemona and oak event, and for Oak if it follows usual format, his dupe will costs 400 event points each and that's a lot
And he is a base 5* unit so i will have to get the dupes, as i wont spend candy on him 
Here’s hoping I can clear both Arven and Penny event before Sunday. I still need to get gems on the penny event.
I almost finish arven event, for penny, i will just gonna do the daily battle and spamming the easiest difficulty to fill 50 runs mission
And Sunday will have my most awaited banner that I have no hope to get a limited 5 star unit
Aka
the 100 pulls banner
Vantner aren’t u a high enough level where two times a day is sufficient
Which level?
Which level? Player rank? I dont feel enough so far i need to do 2 dailies for sinnoh VA rerun and part 2 VA still left 100 gems mission that will be done on 1 day before the event ends. I will be able to clear arven event tomorrow, currently around 8k+ points. Penny, still got lots of runs that i need to do, i havent even cleared the first 10 runs yet so i plan to do easy difficulty to clear her event and done right before sunday reset that will have ssnemona and oak event simultaneously
Then 20th reset will have galar nc event rerun
oops i may perhaps be in trouble with the stamina 😅
Same.
At the moment I’m splitting two events
Seems I’ll have to do it again next week
I'm currently spending all my stam on just dailies
might throwthe rest of my stam on Arven event just to finish it
Anyone alrd got the refer gems?
If they don’t make it in time for anni 😬
Began reviewing lmao
Good luck you guys, i didn't have any friends to refer 
Thanks to me spamming easy difficulty, i think i can finish penny's event mission before Sunday reset 
Right on time before nemona and oak event
60K non-paids reached 
Yeah, they usually take a week or two max
the last time they did this it took nearly 2 months
They started count in mid Jan and distributed in early February
I have around 20k gems saved and I'm skipping every banner until anniversary, but i saw that we will get a new Master Fair this weekend. Will it be worth pulling?
Their banners are still up when we know about anni sync pairs, so the best option is waiting
Thank you.
+anni
Poma's 4.5 Year Anniversary events happen <t:1709100000:R>, <t:1709100000:f>
Poma's 5th Anniversary events start <t:1724824800:R>, <t:1724824800>
That was fast
I will reach above 2 pities at the end of the month
Also, funny gem number
I need to calculate how much pities I have. I keep forgetting.
I think I,l reach one pity by anni… and the rest will be a luck and a prayer
36,600
I’ll need to see if I’ll form another pity next month. Seems I’ll need 20k to get another formed.
Anyone got the referal free gems?
they haven't even handed the gems out yet
Do you know, when we will get them?
No one knows, Dena did not specify a date
is easy difficulty more effective for farming trade resources than super hard ?
or it is just for mission
noted
Because later sunday reset 18th got 2 new events and 20th got galar nc event
So if you're lacking to clear gem missions, can consider doing easy difficulty
actually i dont really have problem for the mission i guess
i always invested stamine on dailies and event that i havent get the reward
and my arven is on 7500 point rn, I assume relying on dalies would finish it to 10k i guess
and veevee mission i havent trade this yet
should I just focus on galactic awakening and farm 3 * power up ?
super hard will always be most effective for resource rewards (*except on rare occasion where the second-hardest difficulty is actually better)
wait nevermind its answered already
the new event format, the best way to maximise your stamina is to just spend enough stam to reach a certain amount of points where your remaining dailies can get you to 10k
unless u just want to be done with it and not even bother with the daily stage
even if you dont bother its so slow to use the regular stages
noted
44K
GEEEMMMMMMMMMSSSSS
Gems
||for now at least||
Oh wait this reset is still safe as well
So i can add another 300
holding of on BR? lol
wow that's a lot 😅
saving for doomsday
New event type is cheaper but not as profitable to farm haha
Won't quite hit 265k before anni but I'm happy with this
now to cope for some interesting pairs 
Are we... allowed to... talk about... the 10-Pair Scout... in this channel?
As it is gem-free.
Ofc yes
I think it's okay as long as you don't flex pull results here
That belongs to #gacha-and-flex
Okay.
I got 10
...DeNa giving me this after i complaint that its hard to farm
with new event system 
Same…
Anyway, cleared my faves goal for this month and happy to say that i will enter anni with 100k+ gems
How did I went from 45k
TO 47K IN A DAY??
events and login bonuses :)
I guess so :3
five pities get !!!!!
recovered from unova NC hahahaha exact same number screenshot
i was pretty fortunate actually since i spent only a bit over one pity on them
Now it's time to get it to 200k 
After anni 
a reminder that faves can jumpscare you at any time
True, i need to save some gems in case a fave appears on month right after anni again
Just like fall iris naganadel before this

Which role is Fall Iris?
Tech
She is a tech with Poison Zone
Guzzlord kinda fitting for Halloween 
Pls if this datamine has an ingo rerun (cuz bro has no exr and is a ground type and were getting a ground/dragon type event thingy)
im about to go W I L D
infact if it happens
You'd see me spam "BRAVO❗❗" in poma lounge💀💀
I'm saving at least 3 days worth before pulling them
Got 2 silver powerups and 8 bronze powerups from the ticket… so better than bare minimum?
Also I do not even want to fathom trying to get points for the newest event since I have precisely zero pairs that’ll boost past 1.2x; high stamina consumption isn’t what I need rn with the concurrent Oak event 
if it makes you feel better, the events lasts so long that assuming you do the daily stage everyday
you will miss out like 200 something
Will we get another stamina rally?
No
They only give us stamina when we don’t need it
I will save my free 10 pulls till I have all hundo.
then pull them and cry as I get nothing 
I hope you get at least 1 limited 5*!
Same!
We don’t ask about meta in this channel, that’s what #916852389347196958 is for
thank you. lAst time i was here the channels were completely different, lol. I'm very lost 😂
half the channels that were here then are completely wiped out and there are tons of new ones.
That was months ago •_•
i haven't looked at the server since June 2023, apparently.
It's alright it happens
What happens?
The free 10 pulls remind me of how shitty gambling can be
They are definitely good for that
The free pulls is kinda nice, aside from extra PUs. It also help to relieve pulling itch
The oak ones?
No the free 100 pulls
It helps to relieve pulling itch
Its free, even the poma day ones cost 25 gems or 100 paid
They’re fun
Yep all in all even how bad the pull goes, its still PUs, helps to relieve pulling itch and free
Still no luck for the ten pull tickets
I have this urge to pull for Night of Fright
Eh whatever I'll go gamble on planar ornaments
As well as some Gallagher relics
i have five 
i finished last week rally 19 sec before reset
300 gems
50k.....
Went from 45k to 50k in 2 days....
BRAVO FOR ME❗❗
HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHHHEEHE
LETSSSSSS GOOOOOOO
I never reached this many gems before--
all this for some two train men--
and one of these two train men MIGHT (not confirmed but a theory/speculation) get a rerun cuz no exr and ground/dragon hse event on september
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHA❗❗
if ingo doesn't rerun next month im committing a Volo/j
What does committing a volo mean
:3
Bascially what he did in PLA
