Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[fallen path]

Yes

[tardy fiber]

But rocket admins and ball guy are special

Well at least they tweak the outfit design like adding arceus motifs like symbols and lines, still doesn't think it worth extra 100 pity.points though

[sweet tide]

sorry calcs are taking very long bc they split alot of shit into days so its a pain to do it

[trim heron]

same for the 5th passive slot

[sweet tide]

but the cal is outa nd its trash as hell

[compact pasture]

How?

[compact pasture]

No worries

[tardy fiber]

Just take your time Tlim

[trim heron]

I guess because none of them are asset flips

you can take all your time Tlim

[sweet tide]

anw its 28600 with the 3k presents on wednesday

[fallen path]

All good mate

[maiden kayak]

thanks mate

[tardy fiber]

They got different color EX outfit, Ball guy even change to great ball also they arent copy paste

[upbeat lotus]

Thanks for making the count every month tlim. Excellent work as always

[fallen path]

Gonna a 3000 gem Twitter rally

[paper root]

surely they'll have one with Lear, right

[maiden kayak]

dont bother

[tardy fiber]

I wont mind more gems, even better as it is a skip month for me

Rally please

[fallen path]

monkey paw curls 50 power up tickets from rally!

[trim heron]

I hope for 5000 gems rally really

[compact pasture]

Jaw

[tardy fiber]

Still better than 50

[fallen path]

I mistype things a lot from the phone

[exotic swallow]

I hope for a 10000 gems rally

[fallen path]

[trim heron]

not sure if 30K would make the 4 1% banners salvegeable, but yea

[compact pasture]

And the 500 point pity?

[fallen path]

“If we get under 10k retweets, immediate eos”

[tardy fiber]

Probably just skip this first batch of arc pairs, they arent ash so they will return later

[trim heron]

still hoping that would be reverted

for the later arc pairs at least

[fallen path]

Ash ain’t returning either

[trim heron]

(I feel changing the pity ceiling now would cause another problem for a smaller group)

[tardy fiber]

Yep thats why i said they aren't Ash so they will return later

Just skip if dont have 45k gems

Dont ever try to test luck

Probably gonna end up with gen pool 5* or worse

[compact pasture]

That's almost 50K

[tardy fiber]

Well their pity costs 45600

[sweet tide]

also the ghimmighoul event is weird as f

[tardy fiber]

So dont get tempted if got low gems

[sweet tide]

they are giving us 300 coins

but the scout voucher is 999 coins

where are we supposed to get the remaining 700 lol

[upbeat lotus]

Have you checked login bonuses?

[compact pasture]

From the battle?

[fallen path]

Is there a co-op event somewhere

[upbeat lotus]

That sounds weird

[sweet tide]

there is nothing

[tardy fiber]

Smells like twitter rally

[sweet tide]

from log in

[upbeat lotus]

Oops

[sweet tide]

coop is not related to ghimmighoul

the battles give u 10 coins for like 10 days

so u still lack 600 lol

[compact pasture]

Scout voucher? For which banner?

[lusty prism]

I'd love some twitter rally with gems

[sweet tide]

sawyer rachel variety

[fallen path]

Don’t get your hopes up

[compact pasture]

Does it guarantee one?

[fallen path]

I’ve learned from enough datamines lol

[trim heron]

I was checking in the mission section

[sweet tide]

yeah i think u can choose one

[trim heron]

and my god the amount of every mission reward is so random

[sweet tide]

the 300 coins is from the missions

yeah

i guess it makes sense cos u get random amounts in SV

[tardy fiber]

Dont worry the ones that you are unsure just keep it on hold, DeNa probably clarify about it when nearing the event release

[trim heron]

yea, there's definitely more in the Gimmighoul event

[sweet tide]

but the battles reset daily so u cannot spam the event

so im just like ?????

confusion

[fallen path]

Maybe you get randoms amounts from summing all the other events

Simming

I am misspelling things today lol

[sweet tide]

thats what i thought but no u dont get anything

[trim heron]

or it could be the event works differently

[sweet tide]

even from the ss lear event

confusion is real but wtv

[trim heron]

I notice there's no reward for completing all of them

[fallen path]

That’s a mid September problem to figure out

[trim heron]

and the missions feels a bit generic

[upbeat lotus]

Maybe absol forgor 💀

[sweet tide]

the gimmighoul event is next wk actually lmao

7 sept

[fallen path]

…

That’s a next week problem!!

[sweet tide]

also i thought they were rerunning all the events

but its just stories...

i was cringing counting all the 50 gems shit

[trim heron]

it's like the 2nd anni story rerun

[upbeat lotus]

I don't need Gimmighoul, i need Gimmegems

[sweet tide]

they are stingy as heck

[fallen path]

Gakon I almost spit my water out

Good one lol

[trim heron]

it's not like there's many events to begin with

including the 2 pair-up event reruns there's just 6 that requires stamina

and the last one is the Lear solo event rerun on the 19th

[viral delta]

Do we know the gem count for next month?

[sweet tide]

28600

there are only 4 events

that require stam

[fallen path]

So you’re basically saying there’s a lot going on at anni (in terms of scouts to use gems on), but not a lot of events..

[sweet tide]

yes lol

[fallen path]

Classic dena

Classic lol

[trim heron]

yea, outside the 2 pair-up events, there's just 4

2 are anni related and other 2 are Lear related

[sweet tide]

they sprinkled in the type rotation and coop rotation thing

they nerfed ebe as usual

i dont get it why they cant just give us 3k from ebe

[orchid lark]

IM WHEEZING RN-

[sweet tide]

would it unalive them to give us another 1500 gems

[exotic swallow]

Wonder if we’ll get a good gem bundle for completing arceus arc like we did champion stadium

[fallen path]

Prob to justify making the battle challenging for the average player

[trim heron]

and I think 19th is the earliest day ever for the last stamina required event

[sweet tide]

65% is still good should have been 90

[sweet tide]

the ebe is a hot mess anw

[trim heron]

like, could they have put at least the Johto VA rerun in the last week

[tardy fiber]

I only found 530 gimmighoul coins from absol pastebin

How to 999

[fallen path]

Always has been tlim

[trim heron]

it hasn't gotten a single rerun for over an year

but yea, this is the first anni I might actually dislike

and it's not even the ideas that's bad

[tardy fiber]

I dislike Ash anni, at least those pairs only costs 36.6k gems each

[fallen path]

I loved that anni lol

[trim heron]

I actually don't mind the Arc Suits

[viral delta]

That’s the gem count? Yikes….

[trim heron]

and the picks are kinda cool

but it's just why are the events so lackluster

[fallen path]

The uproar on this server and Reddit is more on the 500 to pity thing, Espeon

[trim heron]

I'm aware

(I also sent feedback about it yesterday)

[fallen path]

In isolation it doesn’t look bad but overall it looks bad

[exotic swallow]

Does this include gems from the Arceus arc? (Will there be gems from Arceus arc?)

[trim heron]

and it's kinda a shame I don't the like anni because there are some stuff I genuinely liked

good thing I have saved this many as I could, because... I probably would've been more salty

[tardy fiber]

Same, i only mind the pity points issue truthfully. Others are acceptable like doing repeat pokemons as they actually want to show growth/progress. I am also fine with the outfit as their sync move animation does have a bit of tweak like some glow here and there also halo animation. My main gripe is only the pity points i think

[dark oar]

theye're reruninng the story events, due to the #trainertales twitter campaign ;o

[trim heron]

could be

[fallen path]

Who’s to say they won’t increase pity points for other stuff ya know

[sweet tide]

arceus arc is just 50 gems

[fallen path]

It’s a precedent and an open can of worms

[sweet tide]

useless give us gem reruns we dont care for that

[trim heron]

I also enjoyed the run-up

I find it weird why Arceus Arc story only gives 10 gems each segment

[paper root]

Arceus Arc only gives TEN STILL?

[sweet tide]

isnt it 50

am i blind

[trim heron]

50 total

it's 5 * 10 total

[sweet tide]

oh yeah

[tardy fiber]

Kinda that's why it is the main issue for me. The outfit and repeat pairs are alright, new role is also okay, rally alternative is also a bonus. Only that pity points though

[sweet tide]

its 5 stories 10 each

lol

[exotic swallow]

No fuckin way 💀

[trim heron]

but back to my other point. PML arc got updated last month to give more rewards

[vestal leaf]

Collective update in like a year or two so they drop another 15k in a batch lol

[sweet tide]

ther eis seperate arceus arc event thats 1300 gems

the story update itself is 50 gems

[trim heron]

and one of them is changing all the story + battle gems from 10/30 to 100

[paper root]

inb4 chapter 2 story is also 50 gems total with 3 more arc fairs debuting 💀

[fallen path]

Just in time for the super arc scout with 600 to pity

[sweet tide]

but they nerfed mission gems and got rid of the exchange shop for no good reason

i find it draggy

but thats just me

[tardy fiber]

Wait, no mystery stones exchange shop anymore?

[fallen path]

Oh yeah, there’s no exchange with the new events?

Just the stupid points thing?

[sweet tide]

we are talking about the exchange shop for the new events

mystery stones exchange shop is still around

[trim heron]

the 5 story events?

[tardy fiber]

Oh the 10k thingy

[sweet tide]

also there is a new 5th anni exchange shop

its a daily thing

so u need to check it daily

[trim heron]

I will

[fallen path]

Alongside the daily scout thing revamp

[sweet tide]

i think they only stay for 24 hours cmiiw

Start: 28-08-2024 06:00:00
End: 29-08-2024 06:00:00
💰 Coins x5
=> 🪙🍬 Strike Move Candy Coin x1 | Limit Change: 1

yeah only 24 hours per item

there is no tech coin in this shop for whatever reason

[upbeat lotus]

Does it offer other role candy/cake coins?

[sweet tide]

all coins + roll cake coins are available except tech candy coin

[upbeat lotus]

Lmao

[sweet tide]

also has 60 scout tickets

[tardy fiber]

Wow, how many coins in total

[sweet tide]

1 each of each role/roll cake except no tech candy coin

wait let me find the list

[trim heron]

100 coins total

[sweet tide]

"Strike Move Candy Coin x1
Support Move Candy Coin x1
Sprint Move Candy Coin x1
Field Move Candy Coin x1
Move Candy Coin x1
Strike Roll Cake Coin x1
Tech Roll Cake Coin x1
Support Roll Cake Coin x1
Sprint Roll Cake Coin x1
Field Roll Cake Coin x1
Roll Cake Coin Voucher x20
5* Scout Ticket x60"

u get a whole roll cake too

i think worth the tech coin sacrifice lmao

[fallen path]

That’s something I guess

[tardy fiber]

It will be a field cake for me

[trim heron]

who in the shop decided for the prices (in-canon btw)

[tardy fiber]

Lillie anni 2 EXR is from our own expenses right?

Like riley

[sweet tide]

uh yes i think

i think thats prolly why they put 20 vouchers in that shop

so ppl dont complain

[tardy fiber]

So that whole cake will be a field

[sweet tide]

but no i will still complain

[trim heron]

20 Roll Cake Coin Voucher as the same price as 1 X Roll Cake Coin sounds too funny

[sweet tide]

it took me a while to realise they meant using the coins in the game

[upbeat lotus]

I hate how i have high demand for Field cakes lately

[sweet tide]

i kept thinking it was the gimighoul coins

[trim heron]

tbf coins are barely used these days

[sweet tide]

so iwas like wtf how many gimmighoul coins do we actually need

[trim heron]

last time there was something new to exchange for them was Lodge Expedition Extracts

[tardy fiber]

Omni expedition potion does cost me a chunk yet the income is far more than my expenses

[crude glacier]

28500?

[tardy fiber]

The evolution stones also functions as coins backup as they sell for a lot, although i dont think we will resort to that

[crude glacier]

Is that with the free 3k?

[upbeat lotus]

Wait quick question, does the 28k5 already includes 3k gems yesterday?

We are having another 3k on 28th too according to dataminers

[crude glacier]

That was my doubt yeah

[tardy fiber]

Still not sure if the 28th will give us 3k gems

So i guess 28.5 still fits if it is total plus yesterday

[upbeat lotus]

If 28th gives 3k gems I'm able to secure a pity for ||Arc Steven||

[tardy fiber]

If 28th really give us 3k gems and not skip tickets then it will be 31.5

[fallen path]

i would laugh if they gave skip tickets

[tardy fiber]

If its words correction, it probably be 300 gems

[upbeat lotus]

🚮

[fallen path]

oh scenes if they missed a 0

[tardy fiber]

They do make a sentence mistake here. Courtesy of Tai

Super voucher exchange for a 4*

[upbeat lotus]

Lmao

[lost bobcat]

Me with 30 vouchers

[fallen path]

what if it wasn't a typo, vantner

[slow hare]

#poma-lounge message

There u go

[fallen path]

[dreamy onyx]

Another reason for the low gem count, every time they give us a free unit they lower the gem count for that month. We have Lillie this year. Last year we didn’t have any, victor was pre anni

The month with Riley was also low

[vestal leaf]

Last year the count was still worse than this year

[dreamy onyx]

Well we have more banners this year i guess

[tardy fiber]

I can 5/5 em, because i got plenty normal vouchers

[tardy fiber]

Free pair tax

[fallen path]

it's been a banner year for dena

[trim heron]

there's more limited banners this year I think

but I'm surprisingly doing fine

[sweet tide]

no it doesnt. the 3k from ytd went into v2.47

v2.48 has 3k presents which will be given on anni reset

[vestal leaf]

We in fact, do not

[crude glacier]

Did you consider those?

[vestal leaf]

3 AF, 2 MF, 1 shared 2 units variety banner (one of which is free) for the new banners
1 HSE triple pf banner and galar birds for one week for reruns

Last year we had
Kantrio MFs, 3 New PFs + Tina, 5 units shared variety banner (1 free) for new banners
SC Rosa, celesa HSE banner, Bede, johtrio mf as far reruns went

Also last year was much more poor in gems

[sweet tide]

yeah its inside 28600

oh they doubled the rewards for ranked damage challenge

[vestal leaf]

yep

i personally would've tweaked regular rounds instead but hey, it's all extra

[sweet tide]

they could have given us nothing (like usual) but a surprise is always good

[lusty prism]

its a positive gem increase compared to last anni ig

the fact that we got the 15k for the story revamp as well

[vestal leaf]

I mean with a new DC unit every month they HAD to increase influx somehow

I was expecting them to tweak the scale of regular instances but this is just as good ig

[sweet tide]

but one AS fair is asking for extra 9k gems tho...that is not it

[sweet tide]

i havent even claimed a single DC unit lmao

[vestal leaf]

I mean as far as banners go, last year was much worse

[vestal leaf]

54? Thousand gems and this many different banners + lots of rerun

Vs 70+ thousands and refer a pal and almost no reruns this year, albeit with the AF bs caveat

Both are not great but I'll take this over 4th year a million times

[lusty prism]

Ah yes i forgot to factor that changes in scout points in

[vestal leaf]

God I don't miss 3rd and 4th Anni at all... Half annis are always consistently better rofl

[sweet tide]

eeks i cant jsut the thought of having to use 210k gems for 5 pities...shivers

[vestal leaf]

Me when 3 kanto birds + Argenta, palmer and Paulo was 220k

[lusty prism]

3rd anni has the worst pairs imo.
But hey, Ash

[vestal leaf]

Guess why I hated 3rd anni

I would've whaled for gen6-7 ash

[crude glacier]

Same, we have had 5 new 1% banners, 3 of which are 500 scout points, compared to last year’s 3

[vestal leaf]

But journeys ash is my kryptonite

[crude glacier]

It’s honestly unbelievable

[vestal leaf]

3 if you have johtrio

🙂

Past year

[crude glacier]

huh

[vestal leaf]

If you don't, oops!

6 MFs!

[crude glacier]

Oh you meant the reruns

[lusty prism]

more rally pls dena

[vestal leaf]

Yeah

[lusty prism]

and more bingo missions

[crude glacier]

Yeah but it’s not fair to account for reruns imo

[vestal leaf]

It is

Because we're accounting all banners

[crude glacier]

It’s something to give veterans an edge over new players

[vestal leaf]

By that reasoning it's useless to count any banner because it makes sense only if you wanna scout everything

[crude glacier]

I’m personally missing quite a few units, like adaman and irida, which I’ll have to get on reruns, draining me of any remaining gem

But its catching up I gotta do

[vestal leaf]

Which is not really how gacha is accounted

[crude glacier]

Eh I can see your point tbh

[vestal leaf]

Like, reruns are a big part of the economy

[crude glacier]

What concerns me the most is the amount of new banner units

[vestal leaf]

A ton of players skip to grab on group rerun

And a lot of MFs got reruns with role and before role in very independent ways

[crude glacier]

Speaking of which, does victrier have a log in bonus for 5 star powerups? I didn’t manage to finish the 20

And I didn’t complete so

[vestal leaf]

I think I saw it

[crude glacier]

That is a fair point

[vestal leaf]

Like, I get the scare of AF + 1 mf after and before

I do

But the fact the same month we got

• a 50% free variety

• 3 spotlights

• shitall reruns

Means DeNa has a minimum of attention

Towards banner crowding

[crude glacier]

I think this year was pretty good in terms of banners, not having too many at the same time

[vestal leaf]

Now they still are absolute assholes

[crude glacier]

Up until now that is

[vestal leaf]

I completely agree lol

[crude glacier]

But if it’s only on anni it’s tolerable

[vestal leaf]

But compared to 4th?

[crude glacier]

It still hurts so much though

[vestal leaf]

This is imo extremely tame

[crude glacier]

I have 160k saved up and I thought I would be able to get everything easily with spares for reruns

But now I’ve had to choose more carefully

Also will we get free variety units this year?|| Like Rachel or sawyer?||

[vestal leaf]

I always expected this so I always waited and skipped everything that wasn't a must get for me

"There's always gonna be something more op" is the gacha creed anyway

[crude glacier]

That would be nice, like last year’s executives

[vestal leaf]

Ticket RNG

Like eevees

[crude glacier]

How many gems you got? 13k?

[vestal leaf]

250k

[crude glacier]

Ah that’s fine imo

[vestal leaf]

Almost

[crude glacier]

It’s a 50/50

[crude glacier]

Nice, what’s that 13k on your name then though lmao

[vestal leaf]

Periodic update on my next goal

Goal ATM is 250k

[crude glacier]

Couldn’t find it on brybry’s

[vestal leaf]

.

Aren't they in shop?

[next tide]

yapping

[languid quail]

Do we have rough idea about gem count yet?

[pure arrow]

Around 25-26k

[languid quail]

Sigh
Hope we get some rallies or something

[vestal leaf]

28+ 28ths 3k

But consider 3k were already received yesterday

[languid quail]

28k with or without the 3k?

[pure arrow]

I think without yesterday’s 3K

[vestal leaf]

28 without yesterday's

[pure arrow]

Because that 25k figure was apparently excluding presents

[vestal leaf]

Yea

[languid quail]

Okay that's a bit better on the eyes

And the wallets 😭

[vestal leaf]

Basically @languid quail
Last month was 26+15 from story balancing
This month is 31 + refer a pal

If you did it

[languid quail]

Oh
Well
Refer a pal kinda non existent for me
So

Yeah 31k is nice

[vestal leaf]

Of those 31k, 3k were yesterday's gems

[languid quail]

Yeah
I hope we all get lucky

[vestal leaf]

I already got lucky

||now I pray lear goes fine||

[round mason]

so how many gems are we getting for sept

[vestal leaf]

From today until next datamine, 28k

[round mason]

oh

well thats not bad ig??

[uncut kayak]

At least the arc fairs last until like October 7th

[vestal leaf]

Remember we got 44k between previous datamine and yesterday

So yeah, pretty fine

[vestal leaf]

Yeah Anni units usually last til early oct

[onyx tinsel]

5 MF/ArcFair on anniversary gonna be the new standard?

[grim plover]

MFs are the new PFs

[onyx tinsel]

I wonder if this slightly backfires as when it was 2-3 units it had a bit of a collect the set mentality

[grim plover]

and PFs are the new spotlights

[onyx tinsel]

If the daily scout has just some sort of not awful rates

Even 1%

This is a net positive for savers

Also, do you all think the DC units have been better or worse than spotlights, or similar

[orchid lark]

Istg so true-
they gotta rerun PFs more after this
or make old PFs part of gen pool

I would LOVE to have submas as gen pools
hehehehehehehehehehehehehe
(This gurl you're looking at here,is VERY desperate for submas)

[mossy hawk]

Well old pfs are going into the daily scout

[orchid lark]

Even 2021 PFs??

Tell me the characters that are gonna be in the daily scout
IM CURIOUS

[grim plover]

It's the first time were getting 4 banners with 1% rates

Don't be surprised if we get at least one new MF monthly

[sturdy flower]

||i'm happy you like his alt, i was so appaled by how ugly it is||

[orchid lark]

Yeah the only PFs ik that are in the banner are
||Seasonal lillie||
||ball guy||
And
||Steven||
But that's it for me
I have no idea about the other units that are in it

I gotta know NOW

[next tide]

it's real or fake?

[fallen path]

they're just memeing and coping

[orchid lark]

HUH!?!?!?!?

UR KIDDING RIGHT?

[exotic swallow]

It’s possible we get the refer a friend gems this month as well

[vestal leaf]

WOW SO FUNNIEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[summer goblet]

Management must have changed

[vestal leaf]

I LOL'D (LAUGH OUT LOUD) SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[summer goblet]

Less gems and more banners

Its time to get really serious

[vestal leaf]

yeah they're called pokemon master day reruns

you might've seen them happen

[vestal leaf]

literally almost 50% more gems than last year but ok

also, way less number of banners overall but ok

[summer goblet]

What now you defending them

[vestal leaf]

not my fault the majority of this community can't count

🙂

[summer goblet]

But more mf for those who actually care

So not good

[vestal leaf]

yeah, because mfs are all that matters after all

[summer goblet]

Of course unless you want to be like and skip everything

Then it won’t matter

[vestal leaf]

it's not like having half the banner as last year and 1/4 more gems matter

all that matters is the 1% NEW banners

again, not saying this anni is great but last year was muuuch worse and we all made it through fine, so send feedback like I did addressing the real problems (the lack of inventive for pair outfits and sync moves, and 500 pity) but let's not just straight up say we got less gems when we got 20% more than last year with many and many less limiteds

[grim plover]

i said new

[summer goblet]

Nah this year is worst

Maybe not less gems but more banners

And 500 pity point

The gem ratio is more wacked

Last year is not bad at all

[vestal leaf]

absolutely not

[uneven pewter]

The second one is hideous

[vestal leaf]

here's the list

[uneven pewter]

First one is saved by the glasses

[vestal leaf]

in case you wanted it

[vestal leaf]

we're not getting a monthly MF

don't worry about it

at least new ones

[summer goblet]

Nah, we have less gems than last year and not even aug gem bumb could not cover it

[tawny cedar]

25k this.month?

That's wild

Yeah I ain't getting 2 ||arc mfs||

Gonna have to ditch all hopes for ||steven|| and settle for ||lance and Lear||

[summer goblet]

Yeah, its all about picking and choosing now

[crisp oracle]

[grim meadow]

do we know the amount of candies we'll get? the pins havent been updated yet

[rustic coral]

is this the channel we ask for meta suggestions? i wanna know which arc unit looks the best so far. gut tells me its steven but idk lance looking kinda shnice too

[mossy hawk]

This is the opposite channel

https://discord.com/channels/583120259708616715/916852389347196958

[rustic coral]

ty!

[mossy hawk]

Go there

[uneven pewter]

Ladies and gents

We are cooked for September

[uneven pewter]

Beg for money more dena

[fallen path]

Let’s not shill for dena lol

[summer goblet]

Or we can just skip it altogether and make a stand

Save hard and save well

There is no such thing as saving too much

I get tons of questions why i save 500k gems

Well, this right here is the reason

[vestal leaf]

we literally got 2 pities

versus 59k last year

like

i don't think this math is hard

[vestal leaf]

28k

• probable 3k in 2 resets

[vestal leaf]

literally always was since 2021

[summer goblet]

You are quite the insufferable know it all

And that is why i shall not converse with you

Plus i did the math and decided that its not worth this argument

[vestal leaf]

🙏

i suggest #poma-lounge for the doomposting and misinformation spreading next time then

this should be a safe space for people free from such stuff

[summer goblet]

Naw, i don’t post often

[summer goblet]

Then this is indicative to save harder then ever

[vestal leaf]

yeah, but using misinformation to say it is wrong

[summer goblet]

Its not misinformation when i counted them

[vestal leaf]

ok.

then tell me how many gems were given out in these two years

[summer goblet]

We have nothing in common with each other

[vestal leaf]

aug-sept

[orchid field]

Do we have a gem account from tlim?

[vestal leaf]

since i'm clearly wrong

[summer goblet]

I counted last year. And this year

[vestal leaf]

28.4 from today til next datamine

[orchid field]

What

[vestal leaf]

yeah you wrote this 3 times

[summer goblet]

If we are going by aug- sept specifically fine

[vestal leaf]

what are the numbers

since anni isn't sept alone

[summer goblet]

Ok then

From march- sept of 2023 we earn 195510

[vestal leaf]

because last i checked
august was 41k
then 3k not counted in both counts because of date overlapt
sept is 28.4k

last year we had 33.6k + 26.6k

[timber wren]

you could just simply not engage further then instead of name calling so cut it out thanks in advance

[vestal leaf]

iirc

or was it 32.6k?

oh no it was 25.6k

[summer goblet]

This year is only 184750

[vestal leaf]

so 59k+3k lost probably

[summer goblet]

For sept

25360 for this year compare to 27810 last year

[fallen path]

It’s probably good to consider the gems in relation to the number of banners as well

People have lost purchasing power with the arc scouts. Pomas inflation

[vestal leaf]

the 25360 don't take in account yesterday's 3k

[vestal leaf]

yeah, last year's number of banner was higher, vs this year's higher pity

anni wise

[summer goblet]

Unless you want to count the variety banner which has always been a trap to begin with

[vestal leaf]

except last anni's variety wasn't a trap in itself

it's less of a trap than arc pairs

at least

as it has actual characters

[fallen path]

Variety was a test for arc

[vestal leaf]

i wouldn't say that

as variety absolutely flopped

as we can see from how variety died off and is now half gifted for free

[pure arrow]

I don’t think the two are very similar

[vestal leaf]

the asset reuse is extremely similar

but it's in no way tied to arc

[pure arrow]

Variety never positioned itself as top-of-the-meta, nor did it use repeat Pokemon

[summer goblet]

Variety still exists

[fallen path]

I mean, it wasn’t a 1 to 1

I didn’t expect y’all to take it literally

[pure arrow]

Nor did it ever have MF odds

[summer goblet]

Just that they are not doing rocket banner again 5 in one

[vestal leaf]

yeah, and it's basically a once every blue moon thing where one of the unit is given for free

[fallen path]

Don’t get the react, but w/e

[vestal leaf]

while last year we had 2 to 4 varieties every couple months

the previous year*

[fallen path]

It’s not AB testing like pogo yet at least

[uneven pewter]

Variety was thankfully a failure and thus likely why they went this direction

Ultimately they want to turn a profit

[summer goblet]

Let’s bankrupt the arc unit

Or at least get it down to 400

[vestal leaf]

the feedback stream will definitely be already taken into account somehow

but if the banners also underperform

they'll HAVE to apply some form of bandage

because unlike variety they can't really discontinue, gift or make arc pairs less common since they're plot relevant

the easiest thing would be to increase the gem count to a 30k average if not slightly more, but it would also mean all other banners lose whale traction

so i could see them finding another solution albeit i have no idea which

[fallen path]

Nah they’ll roll with it for a few months at least

[vestal leaf]

yeah i didn't say rn

[fallen path]

Depends on the October numbers

[vestal leaf]

they won't touch THESE arc pairs

i'm talking next batch

[summer goblet]

No its easy reduce the scout points and bumb up the gem couny

[vestal leaf]

the most they can do with these is apologems

[fallen path]

Not sure which month their quarterly reports set in

[summer goblet]

If not, scrap them like the prestige event

[fallen path]

As usual, money talks lol

[vestal leaf]

it's either or, and i doubt they're doing that

[fallen path]

Depends on the whales

[vestal leaf]

as one is bad PR and the other "hurts" the rest of the banner economy

[summer goblet]

We just hope it will flop

[fallen path]

Or the tier just below them, since whales will summon everything

[summer goblet]

Japanese player def need to speak up for sure

[vestal leaf]

they're already doing it

[crude glacier]

They’ll probably try to put more gifts in the non paid banner maybe?

[summer goblet]

Its its what they are catering too

[vestal leaf]

they're sadly focusing on the least important aspect of them

[crude glacier]

I liked the 3 move candies on the paid route

[vestal leaf]

which is the 500 pity

[fallen path]

Depends how much noise they have

[crude glacier]

So maybe they can give 1 at 10?

Especially since they max out at 5/5

I think it wouldn’t hurt

[vestal leaf]

2 + cake

[crude glacier]

oh yeah that

[fallen path]

The 500 is the easiest to attack from

[crude glacier]

3/5 exr total was what I had in mind

[vestal leaf]

yeah

but the 500 isn't the big problem with dena management atm

as me and aqua have said a morbillion times

[fallen path]

But any momentum is good

[vestal leaf]

the complaints wouldn't be so high

if the units were WORTH the 500 pity

and dena could actually PRETEND the change makes sense

[fallen path]

Eh idk

[vestal leaf]

but instead they present these very bad recycled units

instead

[fallen path]

I think most see 500 > 400

It’s an easy angle

[vestal leaf]

well duh

the problem is

even if they retract to 400

these units are still a scam

because they're just a cheap rebrand of an already established unit

hell even if pity was 400 from the stard i'd be complaining

[fallen path]

Think it’s mainly because there are still someone’s fav

It might have had more momentum if it was actually only 400. More people would fuss over the recycled pairs

[vestal leaf]

because sorry but if we ever get Arc Clair

it will still feel like a scam

even if the pity was 300

lol

it's still an awful recycle

that's why imo 500 is the least problem

[fallen path]

But 20% increase is not a small number to ignore. Easier for outlets to pick up (do the gaming verse even care in Japan? lol )

[vestal leaf]

for me imo

considering the gacha economy

45.6k is still far from outrageous for a pity

there's games out there that give 3 pities per year, with soft pity

so every time you get to pity, it's a cointoss

shit's wild

[fallen path]

If that happened in pomas, see ya later

[vestal leaf]

it technically already does, it's just that DeNa is extremely chill about it

step up banners have the 25% ticket

[crude glacier]

Fgo still gets way more players though

[onyx tinsel]

I think the easy change is the candies to universal

[fallen path]

3 pities a year tho? Although you have to consider pities to units

[vestal leaf]

which is a relatively paid cheap soft pity

[vestal leaf]

nah, the change is the candies to be on normal banner too

at least 1 + some coins

[onyx tinsel]

I like it

[vestal leaf]

i wouldn't mind scouting 3 extra multis if it guarantees...idk

2/5 and half roll cake? 2/5 and 10 candy coins?

at pity

but rn the f2p banner is awful

[crude glacier]

It’s so bad

[onyx tinsel]

Here's another way they could do it

[vestal leaf]

the whale one is AMAZING, and i get it, whales had it terrible for years

[onyx tinsel]

Make the og units part of the scout

Don't have og steven

[vestal leaf]

but MF rewards on non paid is....

[onyx tinsel]

Get him at 8th pull

[vestal leaf]

i mean, technically we still don't know the banner rates, there could be something there

but yeah it's 99% copium

[vestal leaf]

that would be cool i agree, albeit it would be kinda shitty for veterans

[fallen path]

Aren’t they adding sync pairs to the daily scout, mind they are really old ones

[onyx tinsel]

Or make og count towards pity

[crude glacier]

Most veterans don’t have them at 5/5

It’s only a small percentage

[vestal leaf]

not really OLD OLD ones

[onyx tinsel]

That bridges 500 gap

[vestal leaf]

there's ball guy

in daily

[fallen path]

That’s an explosive realization

[lilac crescent]

How can you not call them old?

[crude glacier]

I think bad ones is the better term

[vestal leaf]

at least the daily update event icon has ball guy

[lilac crescent]

There is SS Red.

[vestal leaf]

there's also more recent ones

the datamined info on banners mostly lists the older units the banner has

like the 72hrs banner had the same list as the daily one iirc, but the daily one lists seasonals too

[lilac crescent]

Oh really?

[vestal leaf]

and the daily update image has ball guy

[crisp oracle]

||did a bit of a spendy-spendy today, time to hunker down||

[vestal leaf]

so i think it's fair to assume daily might get everything up to previous anni?

[lilac crescent]

Wait. Do the Sync Pairs replace the items?

[vestal leaf]

ok

basically

[crisp oracle]

Thanks to this thread in help saving though

[onyx tinsel]

There every og merge counts as 30 scout points

[vestal leaf]

daily becomes a mix daily

[onyx tinsel]

Boom everyone is a winner

[vestal leaf]

but without mix rate up

[onyx tinsel]

And you can make the og part of the presents

[vestal leaf]

because mix featureds aren't in duh

[crisp oracle]

||Im going to go on a limb and assume arc lasts till the next datamine||

[onyx tinsel]

And remember the og have lodge also

3 for 1

[vestal leaf]

everything but nemona does

[vestal leaf]

it would be a bit too good i wager

but it would be cool

[onyx tinsel]

Then 10 points, just something to acknowledge it's a power up

[vestal leaf]

anyway, we'll see

i really doubt they'll be able to ignore the avalanche of feedback

i really hope these arcs kinda flop

that would ship the message

[crisp oracle]

||ooh nice, I can recover a bit and await the next bit of news||

Putting 45.6K on the line for a pair ain't cheap lol

[vestal leaf]

yeah i personally don't see a big problem with arcs as they are now, as meta exclusive bait is the easiest to skip

[crisp oracle]

||Knowing patterns they'll likely rerun December 2025||

[vestal leaf]

but i worry about future arcs being less scummy design wise and still being expensive and in months or periods with less gems

so i sent my feedback

and asked other friends to do the same

politely but firmly

again, 500 would be fine under other conditions

[crisp oracle]

Always the first of anything new is really rough

[vestal leaf]

they just need to understand that they can't just pull the rope this hard all of a sudden

[crisp oracle]

The only really smooth launch was ||probably the froggos now that I think about it||

[onyx tinsel]

They should of done just cynthia

[vestal leaf]

NCs were initally recieved well yea

[onyx tinsel]

3 units, 2 mf and 1 arc

Could of hid this better

[vestal leaf]

or the other 2

cynthia is the biggest problem of the 3 imo

she's the embodiment of FOMO bait

as her kit really wants that 3/5 at least

then again, last year we were panicking and defining roleEXes as "overkill ultra premium investment"

and now with rally i have almost 30 rolexes

rofl

[crisp oracle]

Then they gave rally and are not really a rarity anymore

Rally was a good addition to make them much more accessible

[vestal leaf]

yeah it's pretty crazy

i bet they can make up something more

[crisp oracle]

Im just stubborn as hell and have 15+ cakes and no rolexs yet

[vestal leaf]

for economy and such

to solve the arc problem

[crisp oracle]

Trollex

[vestal leaf]

they showed they got better at nailing their mistakes

with time

and with all these new things they anticiaped

anticipated*

the coop thing, the new modes, rally, DC, new story

[crisp oracle]

I do predict the next arc will at least have new suits

||The only original thing is that Cynthia's outfit is sleeveless||

[vestal leaf]

yeah her coat is open

that's it, and it's the biggest change of the 3

[chrome nest]

BRUH

[vestal leaf]

and another person we'll have to explain

it's not 25k

💀

🛌 imma go to bed

[lunar thistle]

Oh gem count is out

[chrome nest]

Oh hold on lemme read

[crisp oracle]

30Kish?

[lunar thistle]

Looks low

[vestal leaf]

28.4k + 3k we already got yesterday

[chrome nest]

Even so that’s low as hell

[crisp oracle]

Not terrible but you'll be broke as hell if you pity one of those things

[lunar thistle]

Is the 25k wrong

[crisp oracle]

Yesn't

Excluding a few presents

[vestal leaf]

it's correct but doesn't account for

• yesterdays 3k
• the 28th present

[chrome nest]

I remember during the 2.5 year anni I think we had 41K gems for the month

[crisp oracle]

That was due to Victory Road

[vestal leaf]

yeah i remember how we had 41k last month 🙂

[lunar thistle]

Also does this actually include new story

[chrome nest]

It’s all a conspiracy???? Joke

[vestal leaf]

new story is like 5 stages of 10 gems each

it's just a chapter

like we used to get for PML

[dusky carbon]

wheres the current gem count

like the breakdown

cant find it in pins

[onyx tinsel]

Do you all feel the DC units are close to spotlight level

I ask bc I'm wondering if that covers the f2p unit delta we lost with spotlights going to a few a year

[dusky carbon]

wdym

[vestal leaf]

some DC units are better than most spotlights, some spotlights are better than some limiteds

it really depends on each case

[onyx tinsel]

I think lost in the hate is that a new dc unit a month is a nice f2p thing

And they aren't like awful, i personally think spotlight level

Or a half step below, but curious on others takes

[sand crown]

Some DC units definitely are on par and/or better than most spotlights, but as always that is a matter of opinion

[vestal leaf]

DC event thing also doubled rewards this month

[dusky carbon]

i mean the important thing to note about DC pairs is that they are free and might not be "meta" but are still good for other content like high score events or legendary gauntlet or battle rally, especially since they are only field/sprint

DC Gladion can solo latias

[tardy fiber]

I like DC pairs, especially now its proven that we got 1 new every month. I gonna claim DC silver later, i prioritise getting the field pairs first because they sorta more useful at base 1/5 and EX than the sprint pairs

I hope i can get DC Wally and DC Blue also on September so i can start chasing dupes on October

[uneven pewter]

Sadly there will be whales that just spend mindlessly

[tardy fiber]

Im glad at least there's no ||arc pairs focused EBE|| from the datamine iirc ||sslear|| also doesnt have EBE stage so im happy

[lunar thistle]

So the anger has died down a little

[sand crown]

It always does

Not that I approve of it but the rest of the update has goodies

[tranquil elbow]

Until someone has gotten the 500 pity points

[summer goblet]

Yeah, that is what i am afraid off

[lunar thistle]

Did anyone spend mindlessly for prestige

[uneven pewter]

No but there was the gigachad who took a smurf account and stole first place with it

Prestige was peak pokemon masters fudging

[tardy jolt]

Wow, I just saw the gem count 💀

[tardy fiber]

The gem of the month is actually great, but its not great with the amount of banners and 500 pity points in this update . But props that it is highest gems among other septembers

At least there's no PF and around 3 new banners are spotlight

I just gonna do waiting game for those units unless faves

Still missing Tierno

[tardy fiber]

Not me, because i havent joined that time although i kinda wish that i joined poma around 1/2 weeks earlier. I could've gotten full move candies reward from maxie archie event

They gave like 1 yellow, 1 strike, 1 tech, 1 support candies iirc

[tardy jolt]

Isn’t it like 25k?

[broken mulch]

I was in a very bad spot with prestige lol

Ended up ||having Gloria but couldn’t place at the top tier due to using literally every last gem I had and getting her in the middle of the event.||

[tardy fiber]

Well there's 3k from login due to the arc pairs video trailer from before this and later there's possibility of 3k gems present on 28th reset

The 25k gems is without counting those two

Also those that refer a person (not me) can get extra, i got no friends to refer

[tardy fiber]

So need both gloria and steven to score? Iirc steven got some bonus points too right

[crude glacier]

How many was it? 3k?

That’ll definitely add up with time

[tardy fiber]

Not sure yet, but if its 300. The gems we got will be 28300 instead of 31k

We still beat last year's September though but we lose against 2022 as that one has 29k

[crude glacier]

I think it was 3k for 10k total

I only referred one alt

Had to uninstall and reinstall

[tardy fiber]

Oh the refer gems is max 10k

Min 3k

[crude glacier]

Worth it

[tardy fiber]

I am not brave enough to do that, i love my account. I'm scared if DeNa found something fishy

Maybe easier if i have extra device lying around

[crude glacier]

I don’t think they said something about prohibiting alts though?

But eh whatever

They rarely ban accounts

And back in January’s refer a pal no one got banned to my knowledge

[tardy fiber]

I dont think they will ban anyone unless people ask for refund

[crude glacier]

I only did it once because it’s 3k

[tardy fiber]

Most gacha games ban people asking for refund after they got bad gacha pulls

[trim heron]

Same

[broken mulch]

Nah see, ||if one were to use their gems to get all stamina refreshes, they’re guaranteed top spot as long as they have at least Steven and Jasmine. But I missed the first few days of stamina refreshes due to dumping everything into getting Gloria. Had I been lucky and gotten her early, I would have secured top tier placement.||

[tardy fiber]

The ||stamina refresh max limit is 10 right? So how many gems you need to spend daily? ||

[broken mulch]

Been a long time lol, gonna have to check

[tardy fiber]

At least you got a rare event badge haha

The only rare event badge i got is tea party sc riddle badge

Oh that’s cool!

[crisp oracle]

The A1139530 Pokemon Masters Club ||annouces their plan for the remainder of the year. A stock fund of 36,600 will exist for SC Diantha. Arc Cynthia will be pulled for, and we anticipate a Kantrio 2.0 rerun in December.||

Can I feasibly do this?

[rare swan]

I don't see why not, you've got the gems

[tardy fiber]

Yep, your gems are even more than me. Although September is the time for my balance to increase

Need to prepare if there's faves on October

Guzzlord looks fitting for fall

[crisp oracle]

||I will have to wait on Cynthia though Garchomp is one of my favorite pokemon||

[gloomy holly]

Good lord, 28.6k

[lilac crescent]

Thank you once again, Tlim.

[compact pasture]

This is probably the lowest Anni gem count so far?

[summer goblet]

Yep, or at least recent time

Could be lower in 2020 and 2021 but back then we have less limited sync pairs

[tardy fiber]

2022 beats us with 29k iirc

They also beaten our august with 1k gems extra

45k on 2022

[summer goblet]

Those were the days

3rd and 4th anni slaps

[crisp oracle]

3.5 shoutout

[summer goblet]

That too

[compact pasture]

Maybe 5.5 will be better?

[broken mulch]

Thanks for the breakdown

Oh neat I’ll have enough yellow candy coins to get my 4th one

[tranquil elbow]

Had the 500/500 doesn't exist, do you think that the gem count will be applaud more?

[lilac crescent]

No.

[tranquil elbow]

Kek

[lilac crescent]

Realistically speaking, no.

Fuck 500 as I ||dive for Pasio's creator||

[tardy fiber]

I probably wont be too happy even if the arc pairs banner are 400 pity actually. Because its like we got 5 MF in anni including nemona, last year only have 3

[lusty prism]

I really dont have a definite fave atm

||but damn arc suit cyn looks like mythra from xc2||

[tranquil elbow]

Oh yeah, true

[tardy fiber]

Because i know some people here made collecting MF as saving goal before this as it is kinda achievable if you solely focus on them. September having 5 does throw that goal out of the window

And probably we will get new ones on December and January

As they pop every 3 months

[lusty prism]

||I know this chat incentivize on saving, i did my saving for 6 months and i think im gonna go for arc cyn and then save. still have 3 pities left||

[tardy fiber]

Nothing to shame of if you aiming for faves though

The goal of this chat is to encourage saving to get faves

And not be tempted to other banners that are not in your fave list

[lusty prism]

I dont a definite one rn, but if you were asking me to list then yeah first would be her

[tardy fiber]

Thats why we share fave targets to other members of the group before this

So we can support one another

[lusty prism]

I'll try to make a list, im a day one player but only login for like 1000ish days (not even got the 4th year title )

[tardy fiber]

Then nothing to be ashamed of, you save gems for your potential faves and then your fave appear and you grab it. It kinda aligned with this chat goal, just dont share banner pics and your results in this chat to avoid tempting others

[lusty prism]

my list would probably based off of pairs that have pseudo legendary pkmns

but im setting a priority

[lusty prism]

Thanks!! felt great when someone else said it

[tardy fiber]

One of your fave list might be a dc pair later, iirc there's goodra fight among DC stages

Shauna used it iirc

So thats 36k or 45k gems saved if you look at it

I love it when faves becomes free pair

[lusty prism]

Yep, i think i can grab goodra

I rmb when Zinnia and Salamence free pair

immediately maxed out

[tardy fiber]

Tucker mega salamence is also a possibility. although im not sure if you will add iron thorns, iron jugulis and roaring moon in your target list as they resemble pseudos

[lusty prism]

still waiting for a potential mega salamence, and ofc roaring moon

[lusty prism]

definitely! but roaring moon is on top of that list for sure

[tardy fiber]

Then its good, now that we know you target pseudos. We can motivate you to not be tempted with other banner units

[lusty prism]

I have this default gems threshold now so i can be prepared for the time when they (salamence related) released

[tardy fiber]

We used to have lots people with different goals here, i remembered there's someone that only collect birds and some other person collect canines pokemons

[fallen path]

birdkeeper is probably around...

[tardy fiber]

Its been close a year i think, because he doesnt pop up even when we get bird anni last year

[fallen path]

i know who you mean tho

[tardy fiber]

Fletchabirb

Fearow eggmon still havent rerun for him even after all this time

And doduo is still unplayable

[earnest kiln]

Probably the easiest month since April in terms of pairs... One free and the other one, not free

[tardy fiber]

All of my 3 upcoming faves are free, i guess we got it easy 🤝

Wait was geeta released this year?

Wow so i skipped both anni and half anni

[broken mulch]

Geeta this year yeah

[earnest kiln]

Yep

Though, I may do a ||Select Scout to get three pairs||

[tardy fiber]

So this year's trend for me is run up is more dangerous to me than actual anni

[earnest kiln]

Same

In terms of pairs I wanted... 3 during run up, 2 in Anni, one of the ones in Anni being free

[tardy fiber]

Although i need to be wary, plenty of my faves are not released yet. 3 more UBs, bunch more paradoxes and legendaries.

[compact pasture]

Gimmighoul and Goldengho aren’t mythicals/legends?

[mossy hawk]

They are not

Just special pokemon

Kinda like Spiritomb

[compact pasture]

Oh

[tardy fiber]

I am kinda tempted if bloodmoon ursaluna unit pops up but seeing the pity update for arc banner, i think i will leave that idea, as i am not even sure if i will be able to complete my current goal so better that i dont add other units into the list ...at least until this whole situation becomes more clearer and stable, i think between September to january 2025 is already enough time to see the trend stabilized as we probably get next batch of MF/Arc pair during that time and ample time for them taking action based on feedbacks

[elder merlin]

shdjfjsjsjsjs god as someone with gambling addiction that will barely (and hopefully, I’m not even sure tbh cause I can’t do extreme battles so I’ll miss out on a bunch of gems) have enough to pity one unit for this month and will have to save all the way till Lear’s banner arrives in about 3 weeks it sure will be a time of struggle till then

specially since I’d like cynthia as well

I plan to only do dailies on her to both sate my urges and as a chance of getting her but I fear not being enough and giving in to temptations 😭

[tardy fiber]

Just dont get tempted to pull just to clear EBE, whether its 36.6k or 45.6k of pity both costs way more than the rewards you will get from extreme battle

[elder merlin]

EBE?

[tardy fiber]

Yeap extreme battle events

[elder merlin]

ah right, yeah fair

[tardy fiber]

Well if your fave coincides with the EBE then its not a problem as those contents are designed to be cleared by that unit anyway

So that some gems can be a little compensation, but dont get tempted to pull a unit you dont like just because you want to clear it

The average gems per month is still not yet on a level where you can make some cheeky pulls

[elder merlin]

yes 💔💔💔

[dark oar]

Gem posting. My fave is coming home soon..... ||Please dont destroy my backup gems||

[chrome nest]

So this new extreme battle

What’s the theme of it?

[rare swan]

better to ask in #poma-questions

[chrome nest]

Aight

[tawny cedar]

Is it wise to ||pull sslear before arclance|| since his banner is much shorter?

[rare swan]

i'd be thinking more about your gem count and which pair you want more

[mossy hawk]

Much shorter being like a week difference

[tawny cedar]

I'm gonna hit like 50-52k today

[rare swan]

they're both 1% pairs so outside of a lot of luck, you might only be able to get one

[tawny cedar]

Wait when does ||arclance and lear leave|| in terms of dates

[uneven pewter]

Same

But he should be in kalos tickets soon

[mossy hawk]

Soon = literally tomorrow

[tardy fiber]

I dont mind more dark support pairs for my roster, but alas if i still don't get Tierno. At least we can get 1 of the gimmighoul for free both are support

Oh wait they are ghost

I got plenty ghost support

[tawny cedar]

Is ||arcsteven|| actually more broken than ncblue

[violet nebula]

Yes

[tawny cedar]

He's a little tempting then

[mossy hawk]

You are asking in the wrong channel

[tardy fiber]

Oh right i haven't check if there's any eggmon event on September

[uneven pewter]

Elaborate

[tawny cedar]

Yeah probs

[vestal leaf]

No

[uneven pewter]

I feel i am missing critical info

[tawny cedar]

I'm just tweaking a little since yesterday's datamine

[uneven pewter]

[rare swan]

the advice stands

these pairs are expensive as fuck

[vestal leaf]

He's more offensive, but has lot less synergies and antigimmicks

[tardy fiber]

You can grab 1 of them for free well 100% chance for either gimmighoul from the event shop

[rare swan]

if you don't have a pity i would be very careful

[tawny cedar]

Yeah ||steven|| is prob a hard no

[uneven pewter]

Whelp grabbing rachel

[tardy fiber]

Just like rocket admin or eeveelutions ticket

[uneven pewter]

Oh god no

Not random

[tawny cedar]

81k for ||Lear and lance|| will leave me broke anyways I think

[vestal leaf]

Don't get to choose

[tardy fiber]

Well cannot select, so you may got sawyer

[tawny cedar]

I pray for big man sawyer

[uneven pewter]

https://tenor.com/view/steve-carell-no-angry-michael-scott-the-office-gif-8950774

[vestal leaf]

Also objectively speaking, Sawyer is better

Kit wise

[vestal leaf]

There is, psyduck and something else

[tawny cedar]

I just like sawyer

[vestal leaf]

Both are fine

[tardy fiber]

I also hope for rachel, roaming form tanking hits will be so funny...chest form already got a huge chest so of course he tanks well

[tawny cedar]

Speaking of which

Where did chest go

[uneven pewter]

I just like her outfit with my kings swag

[vestal leaf]

He's been popping online once every blue moon for more than a year

(Chest)

[uneven pewter]

Already dreading about having to || pull lear first just because i would rather not have to whale for him||

[tardy fiber]

Gone after disappointed with ny clair

[vestal leaf]

Remember this is zen chat

He was gone since way before

Lol

[tardy fiber]

Nah he appeared during ny clair

[vestal leaf]

He appears even these days

[compact pasture]

The evolution line is Ghost/Steel?

[tardy fiber]

Yep in games but here is ghost for gimmighouls and steel gholdengo

[mossy hawk]

Both the variety pairs are ghost supports

[vestal leaf]

They have extremely similar kits too

[mossy hawk]

Rachel is more offensive and healing based, while Sawyer is defensive

[compact pasture]

Isn’t that the opposite of the OG units?

[mossy hawk]

perhaps, they are both shit so idk

[vestal leaf]

No it's the same

[tardy fiber]

Sawyer is pretty good, rachel is urgh

[vestal leaf]

Rachel had no Def buffs but had heals

Sawyer had Def buffs and crit buffs

[tardy fiber]

She only buff speed, got 1 heal tm...and can do spatk debuffs

[vestal leaf]

Tackle without any good secondary effect moment

[tardy fiber]

At least sawyer can buff crit, good tm, also got some hype up and flagbearer grid

Alao can flinch with dark pulse

[vestal leaf]

Can also flinch if lucky enough

Ye

[tardy fiber]

Rachel is urgh

[vestal leaf]

At least they get ex now

After 3 years...

[tardy fiber]

And rachel defense stats is also mid eventhough her base kit are tank focused as there's mutually assured and revenge boost

[vestal leaf]

I doubt anyone in this chat was here

When Khan had to go to past his second pity on lear banner for his first Rachel...

[rare swan]

i remember

[mossy hawk]

I heard of that event

[compact pasture]

Did he get more Lears?

[vestal leaf]

Oh right Tai was here already

[rare swan]

[vestal leaf]

I think he got 5/5

[rare swan]

i was probably a white name LMFAO

[vestal leaf]

Or 4/5?

[tardy fiber]

DeNa is pretty kind back then, free sawyer just from doing missions

[mossy hawk]

I never scrolled down on the pity screen, but can you choose 4 stars there?

[tardy fiber]

Nope

[vestal leaf]

Nope

That's why.

He had to keep going lol

[rare swan]

for a while she was the rarest pair in the game for that reason

[mossy hawk]

So funny

[vestal leaf]

I got her from dailies back then instead

Bought 900 gems and got lucky

[tardy fiber]

Oh right does pasio region theme tag happens next reset?

[mossy hawk]

I was wondering too

[compact pasture]

Ticket pool update?

[tardy fiber]

I gonna put theme orbs to all of my shiny eggmon pairs i guess that will take a lot of orbs

As all MC pairs will get pasio tag

[uneven pewter]

I do remember this

[tardy fiber]

Cannot wait for bp pairs next reset

Their choices are quite good, all new non duplicate pokemon for 4* pairs

Raikou is also new, only virizion is a duplicate

[vestal leaf]

I think I got to 6 5* BP tickets with tomorrow's one

So I can 3/5 someone
