#Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

I gonna be safe if it's those three
no faves among them
I will grab if slither wing and iron moth but not that normal form
I only want one and it’s strictly because || bug is a bricked type and i need someone who doesn’t suck ||
Oh my sshilbert already cover me for that
I guess i could candy mine
Im only sitting on 8 tech candies now 
Since i was BANKING THEM FOR ANNI
Anni gets new role instead 
I straight up 5/5 my ssdiantha after reading the datamine
Mine is still 1/5
I very well might do that
Just because i love nc silver
And ss diantha is rough with out refresh or rock zone extension
But then whoever is the arc rock fair
Will be likely the king of that
#justiceforbrock

Kinda why i 5/5 her first out of my sscyrus and anniskyla. They at least doesnt lock moves behind zone
I still want to 5/5 ss Cyrus solely because of villains but that might be a reality given my stockpile
Ouch, i got stamina to use but there's no rerun event that i can utilise to farm

The closest will be sstred event in 2 resets
I have them all archived on my end! However only from v2.9 onwards
huh, why is gem count only showing 750 today? don't we have like 12 new ebes today
4 regions with 3 battles each
likely going to be one by one per day.
oh it's once per day?
6th reset is 750
not all at once?
Yeah, new one unlocks each day
Honestly, I doubt I’d even get any of those gems
They’re so hard
Sob
They’re barely ebes since there isn’t a specific region or type boost
That makes it very accessible
It’s just difficult fights
True, i think the arc suit battle content is harder than this recent johto EBE at least there's no constraint like need to have 0 team members at 0 hp
today is the twenty roll cake coin vouchers day :D
My stamina has finished Oak exactly at 0 tickets

How, i still got some ticket leftovers 
Too little to buy something and cannot even sell it
Im stacking stamina for next reset gimmighoul event
impressive stamina optimisation
That sounds like self inflicted pain
I wont do single outside of filling pity points or mix banner. Especially when multi gives 1 extra pull.
Rmb to clear anni exchange shop before reset
how many yellow candies left this month?
There's special cs and high score event left, i forgot if both or only one of em gives yellow coin
1 cheap gamba a day, keeps the itch away
Honestly it's the opposite for me, Dailies make it worse since they're always unsatisfying and keeps me anxious for the duration of the scout
I would rather build up my mix pity with paid gems instead of doing dailies
The one and only time I did paid Dailies was for Tina, it was the most agonizing 30 days I spent
And now I keep getting her in Mix lmao
I mean paid dailies are fine for ending a pity
How do you guys balance out getting paid selects and doing mix? I’m only getting the bundles atm and I have 560 paid gems with the candy bundle refreshing tomorrow and my last select is the costume scout b
But otherwise probably not yeah
There’s also paid banners, so i’m a little bit overwhelmed
The answer is the same as non-paid gems: save
I try to keep a stack of 20k paids before doing Mix
That way I have enough to do Selects as needed
Esp if you only buy the time gated gems
As for the paid only banners, don't
Those are for the big whales
If you're asking how to manage gems, you're not a big whale
||I did paid banners for all 3 arc pairs||
If you do want to buy more gems though, the current ones (I think they're called Arc Suit Welcome packs?) are the best exchange rate atm
Well there's your problem 
I stop doing mix currently, in case a fave mix appear. My pity count is close to a pity so its better for me to save it for actual fave
The only reason to do Mix is the multiple fair-exclusive pairs. And Manga pairs of course, but it's paid. So technically... pay to win sometimes?
Who are you guys saving for? I'm trying to decide between ||SS Lear|| and ||SS Kris||
Yancy & Curtis
Volo alt 
Based
id spoiler those unit names b/c theyre running this month.
anyway, im hoping for an arc suit N & Zekrom 
(i want my boi to have a better zekrom.)
thats honestly the only "realistic" arc suit i can think of if they make the current trio what the trend is based off of, least of my fav trainers
It would be cool, although I also kinda want NC Nate
Any legendary, mythical, UB, paradox 
Should I pull for any of the Arc suits? I'm not really struggling in any of their types but they seem like they'll be game breaking for a while
This channel is not the appropriate place to ask about pulling, I'd delete that image and go to #poma-questions instead
context: Im f2p and have been saving gems (40k rn)
it makes sense if they thought I was a (what do you call ppl that spend money on the game?) because of the mix blue (I got a giftcard as a present)
Still, you can check the rules of the channel to see what I mean.
If you're not really struggling then that means you can skip em just fine
Just save the gems for actual faves
Like i still whip my maxie for ground coverage because he is the only ground damage dealer fave i have
Its good that this game doesn't require meta much like there's no pvp, everything is PVE content. Yep there's ranked leaderboard but the reward is just bragging rights
So just skip non fave and pull faves
i personally saved for ||Lear's rerun for nearly two years and now he gets an alt too woohoo||
Ita always great when your goal reappears and there's an added bonus 

If that's a cope then Drayden which is just as much of a cope
I can see drayden being playable more than wattson, but chuck made it though so it probably will happen 
Where do y'all spend your stamina when all of the new events are on 10k? Is it worth to spend so much on Victor for the
because I don't need training materials anymore
I spend on victrier for PUs, after im done, i probably will do theme orbs as pasio region theme tag will release and i will need to max theme for pasio pairs including my shiny eggmons
Have you 5/5'd the new Oak?
I thought about doing this but i dont want to go delve in feather RNG
just gonna use rainbow feather gears
I spent on Victor for the level up mats
The real truth is getting supports to keep maxie’s frail butt alive 
Max those defenses and heal our boy
I just pair him with nita and ss acerola 
There are like three free pairs that involve the most over usage of stamina. Wait, I mean four.
Lillie, Victor, Oak, and Riley.
I usually end up pairing him with ss morty and nc leaf
Well lillie should be the first priority
As for the others they have large amounts of time on them as long as you’re logging in twice a day
But yes it’s a lot of stamina to budget
For the other events just make sure you’re hitting the daily extreme battle
Right right.
another week, another moment of doing BR at the exact last possible second
i should probably stop cutting it this close 😅
but well some upgrades and doing the medium to easy stages let me blast through it with one team in under ten minutes haha
I'm very glad that BR allows you to still claim it after the period has ended
how many more multis do i need to do if im at 429 scout points? ||arc suit cynthia|| is shafting me rn and i was told there’s ~12k gems left this month
||2 multi's and 2 singles||
Which one
I'm always paranoid I misses a day even though I am pretty sure I did not
I think I'm gonna stay here for a while even if I do somehow come across a fave
After anni that is
Fortunately i only missed the one right before the last day
Sucks for you guys 
oh, i got this then
Where can I get more gens I done all the events with exceptions to the hard ones
Nearly forgot to do today’s daily 5 coin exchange 
Free stuff is always nice
Not nearly as nice as the 20 cake coin tickets but a win is a win
8 days before the king arrives

Once again lear saves the anniversary
Surely he will be given the psychic arcfare

Og lear 5/5 grid expansion is nice too that it even made me contemplating to candy him or not. But he is in my list when im done with those zone extension faves, 2 faves left
For free rerun pairs, do I really have to spend actual
to EX them cuz I missed the initial log-in bonuses?
(i missed riley's and he'd be so helpful in my Fighting roster)
If you want to use him more, definitely
Wait, can you get Event Victor and Riley to EX for free from their events alone?
you cannot. not in their shops.
no login either for the custom 5pus for them
so you have to use generic 5pus.
;<
Reruns are brutal this anni
Oh right, is the lear event rerun is a proper rerun? Im sick of these event only cutscenes and i want to farm

Fr-
Idk how I'm even SURVIVNG not spending anything this month💀💀
The Lear event is a proper rerun
Thanks 
Do you all think they will ever make it somewhat easier for f2p to candy arc pairs? And if not do us zenners need to start saving even more if we want arc dupes...ie pull to pity on purpose even if you get the unit earlier
One year ago we had the same kind of question about ex roles
The answer will be determined in next 6ish months
It is definitely easier now, it used to take a year to form 1 yellow candy and now its like 4-5 months each
Thanks to more new contents that gives yellow coins like special cs, gauntlet and hse
Hope they make it monthly and not once in 2 months, that will increase gems and yellow coin income
Willing to make a prediction? I'm gonna say yes, albeit it very slowly compared to other candies
At least due to this arc pairs issue, i cannot convert my yellow candy to any role candy that i lack 
Its better for me to just save it for future arc faves
At least all of my faves will be at least 3/5 this month
Yea his snatch upgrade is pretty nuts
What was upgraded?
he gives no stats increase effects to the opponents as a 4/5 grid tile
it does make his innate Unbuffed Foe Sync-Up less annoying to set-up
Yep i kinda hate when enemy buffs right after i snatched 
Snatch before they buff?
||Is it worth to try and pull for extra copies of Arc Cynthia, or should I save for SS Lear?||
I don’t think that question in particular is appropriate for this channel ^^;
We usually say save for favs here
Plus you’re mentioning current banners which needs to be spoiled
You can ask for advice in #poma-questions
Alr, ty
Yea it’s pretty great, it’s a completely unique field tile for buff denial
Never seen that in another unit’s kit and i love it
For Snatch? Cause in general, that’s SC Zinnia’s whole gimmick
Annie, did you change your pfp?
Well there you go, i hardly ever look at sc units unless it’s a giga fave
Rates are too terrible for me to care
Haha that’s fair
Sure did! Bunch of Shadow content this year in general so it’s rotated a bunch
It looks neat.
Thanks! 
It's on 3
SC zinnia, brycen man and 4/5 SS korrina
What's the current total mysterious coin count?
10 * days since event
Same, I guess we missed a few
Mix scout worth the gems or no
Paid gems are always a touchy thing. Best use is still for selects
I didn’t see that they were paid nvm

The event started on Sep 7, it's been 6 days so 60 coins is right
Coins? You mean the ones that Gimmigoul drops?
Yes
I legit forgot ss korrina was a unit. I literally got a copy of her off of the random anni pulls and haven’t looked at her since
Brycen man is also a sc
So either way that’s exciting we have more buff denial
So what's the deal with it again?
The enhanced node for snatch?
Basically when lear steals stats they can’t just rebuff themselves


Ah.
1.7k
Just
1.7k gems til I hit......
72K GEMSSSSS
2 PITY LETSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yo congrats

Tbh i didn't believe that you made this far
neither do i
It sure is a great achievement
FRRRR
actually
I never been this FAR before
The last time I had this many gems was 30k+
now look at me......70k gems
All because of
THESE TWO:

congrats 🙏
You got this!
Congrats hope they rerun next month, well if the OGs didn't, at least give submas the tea party subway bros 


Is
a new emote?
Y u p
||i 6ex'ed his base pair just for him to be nice with his MF
||
Have gems ever been mentioned in PoMa?
what do you think pasio's currency is?
Blood
Of battling pokemon
Bitcoin
... isn't that canon?

ugh my gem counts literally increase just bit by bit lately, wish they will give more gems starting next month, i mean you cant even buy free diamond for regular pull rip
Second half of the month is always slower
itll get better on tuesday
still at ||429 scout points for arc suit cynthia|| 🫠
i’m sure there’s enough gems left this month for pity but man, it feels so slow
oh right. we got a twitter rally, 1000 photocreator posts for 1k gems .
#Pokemon1000Bonds needs this tag too.
gems 
PSA: general move candy coin in the coin exchange today!
6000 gems until i can do my first pity scout for ||lear ||yay
please spoiler the names..
my bad
any tips on how to avoid spending?
Stay focus on your fave list
seems like u got a new fave doraemon? 
if you need help in skipping any unit u can always ask here
we can always lay out the cons of X unit that u have problems skipping
I just use this pic because he looks smug 
oooh lol
Hope there's fave next month for me 
what are the cons of pulling for arc lance apart from the 400 pity
You lose your gems savings
Lance huh... he only hits 1 target, his multiplier grid is locked at 4/5 (yeah, insanity), he only takes general candy like the other arc units so yea
imo, going for arc unit really goes beyond of having a pity ready(which is 45.6k gems for Arc units)
u need to be ready to use gen candy as well
I gonna cope for Regidrago that can boost my team than a dragonite 
unless u want that unit to be stuck at 1/5 forever
idk about the others, but Lance is the easiest skip for me out of the 3
At least with arc pairs existence, my yellow candies are now off limits if i want to use them for other stuff like covering the other role that i lack much
i pulled for cynthia which is why i went from 20k to 5k 
Kinda stings that i just spent 1 yellow candy on ||ssnemona|| recently 
well imo you are set for now
Before i knew about arc pairs news
im just glad I never touched my gen candy lol
if not i wouldnt have enough to candy the 1 I went for lol
(esp the fact I normally will use my gen candy on anni/half annis)
lol
At least, i only need 4 more coins for the next one to form
You can also focus on how negative pulling could be
- powercreep will eventually happen
- fomo has no place since even past anni masterfairs are rerunning
- hide the Flex channel and visit #salt-channel frequently
So go for a fav list and cut that down to 5 to leave some space for extras. Game is easy enough with f2p units and UBs are permanent
He's in a very damage dealer stacked type

||
nically correct, the best kind of correct
||
shhh
||ik,but i wanna celebrate now cuz it was a PAIN to get to 72k||


Jokes aside
1,130 more gems then I will get to 2nd pity
now i can pity BOTH


Idc if their outdated and there's better units than them
I NEED them
||and also because their hot||
guys need convincing to skip ss lear to save my gems please, leaning more towards not pulling though
You like lear as a character?
Lillie + Solgaleo being accessible Steel Zone kinda put the final nail in the coffin of “reasons to want special Steel damage”
- if you pulled on ||arc steven|| already you really dont need ||lear|| with new anni lillie and the best steel support in the game
good reason for me to skip then
yea lilie is already a very decent steel with steven though
I'd pair the two Solgaleo's together tho
Tho if MC isn't powerboosted, may be hard on gauge
True.
This is like me, i joined poma quite late and i still grab zekrom, zacian and yveltal although they are quite old just because they are faves 
i did the same
462 scout points into ||arc suit cynthia|| now. how many multis and singles left until pity?
Well a multi gives 33 iirc
Then you missing 5 points, so 2 singles
Or 1 single and 2 daily discount single
Woohoo luckily i farmed enough theme orbs
Done maxing theme skills for my pasio pairs and shiny eggmons
Zacian did get a pretty good expansion tbh down the road 
Yep thats like a bonus for me, it is still a fave but if dena want to boost it, thats a bonus 
so 1 multi and 2 singles?
damn i got this then, at 1.3k gems rn 😎
Ngl im scared that because i didnt refresh my game before and after the reset the game didnt register ||ss lear ||into it or smth and when i pulled i got nothing
It doesnt work like that? Im just unlucky not a idiot, right?
Well as a person that already experienced like 8 pities or more, you will grow from this experience and later you will just accept it like it is a second nature
And you will learn to at least save a pity before attempting something
Grab it from shop using 999 gimmighoul coins
I spend ||33k|| gems i can get enough for pity?
Depends on the banner, for usual ones, you need another 3.6k gems
For arc fairs, you will need around 12.6k
and how do i get the coins? 
Do bingo and the daily fight that gives you 10 coins daily, it already started since last few days
So if you just started, you already missed like 80 coins or something
yeah i got like 60 i missed some
Can someone answer my question?
Have you uh checked the messages above
That's called being shafted
Get used to it
There wasnt a direct answer mb
Thank god
I have 23850 gems rn
Do you think that i can have the amount of gems to pity ||Arc Steven|| BEFORE 7th of October?
I don't think reaching pity is possible

Arc Suits end on 7th Oct
||Golden boy is shaking my resolve||
The only thing that keeps my will strong is ||gholdengo aint legendary, mythical, UB, paradox
||
Usually first 10-15 days have most of the month's gems
I'd expect 10-12k gems between 26-27/9 and 7/10
That's a bit of copium
Its anni month, maybe find normal month to compare
This month is an exception tho
The months before anni gave 3-6k gems in the first week
Ofc
But I'm looking at 21-23k gem months
And the lowest between 27 and 7th was 7.8k
The current month goes up to 29th though. Or is there an overlap for a couple days where we get gems from both versions?
The doc shows gems upto 29th Sept (200)
That's because it's logins and such ig
There's no event past 26th
I definitely doubt datamine will happen on 30th
never say never
Yeah, you're right. I was calculating it wrong. There's an over lap of ~2 days I didn't account for ig. It is 7k+
Sorry for the ping
With such an empty schedule from today onwards, I definitely doubt it
Np
is the variety ticket a pickup ticket or it's random
random

Time to lose 50/50
still hve to cakee them too right?
Got through this month just fine, now waiting for the next skip month (doubt my next fav is coming anytime soon)
Unlike rockets, there's no bad result
Both are solid
are the fall pairs typically revealed for october datamine. hoping it isn’t my faves
Do we get 3k gems until the lear banner ends?
Yea
It's getting too easy to save rn
So true coming out of Anni with a pity's worth of gems is pretty funny
Who knew Anni was so skippable?
I knew that feeling, including this one, i already skipped 3 anni/half anni 
Guys if submas isn't gonna rerun this datamine
||should I pull for lear instead? I want him BADLYYYYY,and I don't wanna wait for a rerun pls-||
||idk if I should pull for og lear or ss lear,I SERIOUSLY want og lear tho||
||his banner ends on 1st October so high chance that we will get datamine before he goes poof||
Mhm true
||but idk which lear to go for if submas ISNT gonna rerun-||
||caved into lear because he's my funny scrimblo, didn't get shafted, thank god||
Waiting for datamine to decide what to do about ||arc cyn||
Periodical gem check
||ss lear is much more crazy powerful and less likely to rerun in a reasonable timespan imo. if you are pulling one||
gonna start a regular gem check: 2885 
Better late than never
38k gems as my total spending this month. Leaving this anni with with what would typically only net me 1 anni pair (based on previous 2 annis) feels so good
234k left for whenever they decided to drop ||Drayden, warden ingo and Hassel || 
Hassel is probably soon, if they want to release paldea cs fast
I hope next month pairs are Hassel, Brandon and 2 fall alts 
Hassel and Brandon are too lame for start of month, that is where most of promotion goes too
Hassel & Brassius would pop off
Sir a second old man yaoi just hit Pasio
I dont mind if its Benga and Brandon too 
maybe i should wait until datamine too then
i’m so close to pity though, ||arc cynthia is literally at 462 scout points rn||
Same frfr
Doing my own gem check-in: 1,645 as of today. ||It's rough being a Cynthia and Steven fan right now.||
Hopefully next month doesn't have any stealth faves.
No reason to wait then
Because once you're in you either leave with the unit or drop
And I doubt anyone would drop 1 multi from pity
i also want ||ss kris|| too so 🫠
i want to get arc steven but I’m at 301 scout points and idk if getting the cs paid gem bundles worth it
to pay for arc Steven
I think you should wait, rack up gems and only then decide
When the banner is about to leave
No reason to buy gems if you decide to either skip and accept 300 scout down the drain or get him before with free ones
I don’t think this is the right channel for this sort of thing… especially without spoiler ing unit names and such…
Rough yeah lol
guys ||lear seems quite strong ||ugh but i need to save up, can i skip lear if i already have lots good hitter 
No one is a must pull, everyone can be skipped. So it's upto you whether you want ||SS Lear|| or would rather save for future pairs/faves.
Please spoilertag messages that are praising a current banner’s strength 
Waiting for datamine 
I need more cake coupons so waiting patiently for rally shop reset 
Around 8 more faves left to EXR
There's gonna be new op units every month
Can't get everything
True, this is one of the reason im comfortable to focus only on my faves
Pretty sure my unreleased faves will be up to par to the current meta when they are playable

Well except bp master pair faves, they all are kinda at the same level
Still, their type teamwork passive does help further reduce damage from enemies eventhough they have lower defense stats compared to my other pokefair or master fair faves
yea tru, i guess im skipping lear, thanks
haha i guess my criteria now is fave + meta, or else skip
Or just fave
Meta is tough, if there's new op units every month so the meta keeps cycling
No reason to go for meta exclusively as there's no hard content
That's worth even a single's worth of gems
Yep, it will be more baity if there's pvp but it doesn't exist here
Thats why other gacha game got pvp meta
Where new unit of the month will carry certain faction/team
Even if there was
Meta PvP implies investing consistently
And there's no way PvP would give enough to compensate the gem expense
haha yea it is just me that like meta pair, so im skiping lear because not fave even though meta
I dont mind if there's pvp if the rewards is just like DC coupons. Like winning just give more vouchers so losers can still get stuffs albeit slower
Just dont put gems behind it
Like ranked rewards gets more gems
Eh i don't think adding competitive pvp works here
yea please if there is pvp no gens and no yellow candy also please
Yeah but indirect pvp like DC, LG, HSE and such is much less annoying
Even if the rewards are minimal
But the stats of the units here is too skewed so probably hard to do pvp
it is not because the rewards past certain score is not gems or candy coins. if it is im sure people would chase after meta like madman
my only must fave that got skip is tyranitar, rip nc silver rerun when 
I mean I didn't hate prestige because 6k gems was fine as reward for the amount of investment was high, the only big problem was the disparity in multiplier and an event medal being tier locked
And getting 3k was free without Gloria anyway
Yeah, go spend dozens gems of thousands for a couple candy coins or for 3k gems, good investment bruhv
Next Anni probs
At least he will rerun. Not like ash 
I can see him rerunning when we get second wave of Johto NC
Only 1 NC for Johto is too little
yea tru, thank god i already got him, it's ash pikachu, it is a must for me lol
i doubt ash will ever rerun, he is a colab but would gladly welcome his rerun so he can get a cake, tech cake please lol
i. just. need. one. more. single. for. ||arc suit cynthia.||
but i used up all my stamina and got most of today’s gems
We don't care about Ash. Get Liko in here!

just give ash his exr, then we dip. ;o
Nah! In fact, get Yellow in here. Your talking to a professional Ash hater
I did the math and if you pull for one of the arcs 100 times you have about 63% chance of getting that unit
Sounds right but why note that here?
37% chance to still get nothing 
1/3 odds is very bad
Especially because it's only 81% at pity lol
For almost 50k gems
I will be less caring if the pity actually carried over here
like in genshin or hsr
Like if get a fave early like in 1 multi, then for the next fave. The pity count will already be 33/400
although i dont think they will do it here. They will lose much motivation for people to purchase gems
It can work in those games because most people actually want the unit and also its sig weapon, so 2 dazzling lure for people to spend and if they failed, they had to topup
Less temptation here, as only need to get the unit. The dupes for move level can be collected slowly
Can only get dupes from their banner for genshin/hsr
Also, this would make gem value lower so they'd have to reduce the economy by proxy
Which means back to 2021 monthly gems
15-18k monthly gems 
At least there's mix banner that carried over but urgh it costs a lot of gems if need to reach pity in mix if started from 0 pity points 
Im coping for another loads of free gems, like they said in the dev letter that they will optimise the new gem story format for more contents. If all of the VAs getting the 50 gems per cutscenes and 100 gems per battle stage, we will get quite a lot
I doubt it'll happen before half Anni or next Anni tho
Hopefully on new year or half anni 
I-i.....
I did it
that is amazing!!!
Neat! That's neat! Now your definitely ready for your dear rerun!
broke now
||i have all three arc suits now at least, and i really want ss kris 💀||. i hope october is a skip month

I am so excited for submas rerun
But for now
im just hoping for an ingo rerun
you don't know how many times I prayed for a submas rerun
I'm in utter pain rn
But got 2 pities tho!
imagine he got a bad exr tho

I am ready to accept he'll get strike when I saw emmet getting support exr 
AHH HELL NAH SUPPORT??
is that good tho or nah?
(Aka emmet getting support)
Should've been tech
I know emmet's entire deal is don't go below half hp and support exr does give a small bulk buff but like he also suffers from having a middle of the road sync nuke
At minimal it's 100% (SB5 + Sand superior 3 + CS2)
80% of it is from sand too 
No sand ur stuck with 20%
Also why back before he got expansion I was advocating Haymaker for emmet lul
Heck I'll even take at least brawn sync 5 

Remember everyone: you may think you missed out on an arc suit, but more arc suits are always around the corner 
And with few exceptions, always better than what we already have.
What if we already have them
What reasonable QoL updates do you hope to get in the next (few) datamines
Dunno
im hoping they add candy for the new role, aint no way we only get to get an arc suit unit to 3/5 every half a year
it’s gonna take me another 1.5 years to 5/5 ||arc suit lance|| alone 😭
True, im waiting for a fave arc suit. Not much hopes to pin to, i can cope for Arc suit N zekrom and Arc suit Lear hoopa 
Villain arc getting the new increased gems format
Datamine this week?
Yeah, Thursday or Friday
wait already
are we sure to get it on the 26th or 27th though
actually nvm they wouldn’t pull a 30th
thing is, we've got another cs next week
for hoenn.
we are running out of events though
That happens pretty often in the datamine cycle, where we still have 1 known CS week when datamine happens
Time to check its type
the next pairs probably have em
i already did hehe
Well if I could theorize on which date it is
its Friday aka 27th
On the 26th there would be an egg event i think
I don't think they release datamines on new events i think-
correct me if I'm wrong I'm no expert

usually dont but i think egg events are the exception ?
Unlikely
October is rarely over 24k
If ever
So either pray luck and risk wasting 30k or wait next rerun
kill me
She's reran pretty often, you'll get another chance
i blame this anniversary
are the past reruns also ||ss ethan and ss lyra’s first reruns?|| how many times did ||ss kris|| rerun?
Johtrio reran once already
A year ago? I think
Or was it on 3rd anni
Idr
I think it was 4th Anni
i really don’t wanna miss her, i can only pray 
I think you'd better just wait
though if october has something else i want, i might have to skip her
There has to be other characters you might want
Not just in October
Wasting 20-25k would setback all your saving
oh right, there’s also november and december too…
are there any typical patterns with reruns or new banners in november and december?
December has new master fairs
Those are rerunning at half Anni probs
yea it was around kantrio 2.0 timeframe
i remember skipping ||sskris|| for ||ncblue|| cuz movesets were close enough for me
||ss kris is here…||
ugh i really want her but i dont think i can save up a pity before she leaves, i really have to skip her huh
Tough luck, but we already expected ||sskris|| because ssethan and sslyra got released earlier, so if you really like her, you probably already saved for at least 3 months
i was expecting her for august, not september. then ||lance|| happened so ofc all my gems went to him, and then ||cynthia|| took me to pity and now i have nothing
that sounds so much easier said than done 🗿
Why'd you go for ||Cynthia|| if you knew about kris
i wanted to fix my hella atrocious ground roster so ground weak cs stages would stop taking me 10 minutes to finish
That doesn't sound to be worth losing a fave for
Should I save or pull? I would like to maybe try and get one of the Arc Pairs, but I also wanna maybe wait until othr limited banners rerun bc there's some Lims I wanted but didn't get
You don't have enough gems to pity -> skip
You will have less than 20% odds of pulling one
That's not a good idea
I'll never have enough gems to pity lol
Why, we get more than half a pity per month
Oh fr?
In my defense I ain't played in like 2 or 3 years
True, like my poison is still bad yet i didnt pull any poison unit that aint fave 
Its tough, because dupe exists so if currently we got rock nihilego, nothing gonna stop DeNa for releasing poison nihilego later. My fave amounts could easily be doubled if they wanted it 
i’m a meta slave unfortunately, most of the time i cant help it
Then i guess, just let ||sskris|| go for now and wait for her rerun
You knew the risk and you did it so this is the best advice and moral support that i could give
There's always credit card route if you're rich enough
You CAN help it
But you have to fight it because that's gonna be a LOT of gems wasted
yeah it’s a punch in the gut but i think it’s necessary
i managed to get rid of my gambling the moment i hit 3k gems habit but it might be some time before i break the meta slave habit
Gl
Well at least she will rerun, she ain't ash 
he’s never seeing the light of day again 
I gonna cope for Arc suit N zekrom, my will is strong enough to skip the rats. I hope my patience will be well rewarded 
Well iirc they release tapu koko after the rats, so ive been satiated somewhat. Mc raikou also helped
debating whether i should pick up ||sst red|| if he reruns, i absolutely HATE pikachu but my electric roster is just ss piers 
Well depends like i can survive by focusing just on fave. So far my electric are tapu koko, zapdos, zekrom, raikou
You should wait NC blue instead
i was planning to in case he reran new years
maybe i should start saving now so i have a better chance of guaranteeing 4th anni pairs if they rerun
You should really make a list of priorities for meta too if you just cannot resist
Otherwise you'll lose on everything
hmm, there’s nc blue (meta and fave), nc red (meta and fave) and nc leaf (fave)
can confirm, rn im at about 100 gems and a dream to get a metagross dupe
another pro tip: do not look in gacha and flex channel
A better tip: have that channel blocked
it’s muted 
An best tip: remove it from your channel list
Thats nice, i only exed 51 supports. Could be more if DeNa allow MC BP Master pairs EX 
I also EXed non 3/5 units if they have mega or sync related passives
So I'm now back up to 36.7k gems.
It'll be a rough couple of months to wait until I can pull again, assuming they continue the "New Master Fairs every ~3 months" trend we've had these past few years.
But given the other previous trend of "rerunning Anniversary units in December/January", I can't wait to try again for NC-Leaf & NC-Blue.
Nice, i got 3 pities now so im quite fine although i hope that they only release arc on annis, so usual MF month can be NC or other MF 
It'll be interesting to see what they have planned, schedule-wise.
Assuming our next set of Arc Suits are Fire, Bug, and Dark based on datamines, the question becomes when they'll release.
So January MF can be hoenn/alola/sinnoh NC
...i also doesn't mind more Johto NC as i feel only NC silver is kinda lacking so add another 1 or 2 more for em 
For Johto, I kinda hope we get Ethan & Lyra with the Paradox Donphan Duo.
Oh wait paldea NC can also be counted now, not sure about pasio NC but they have proper region tag recently
I would love that 
Im coping that at least 1 of em is ground
My ground faves coverage only has groudon and landorus for now
Similar boat here.
Not as bad as my poison fave, only has naganadel. Big cope for loyal trio and pecharunt to have at least 1/2 poison types 
Pecharunt should hopefully be Poison, given its Poison-focused moveset.
And I'd love to see Pecharunt as a Master Fair, personally.
I hope so, at least 1 more. Usually only need 2 of same typing for a good enough team, the 3rd slot can just use whatever supports 
True.
Well there's gladion but its hard for him to carry on more recent CS regions
Coping for a good power boost
Type-Null is pretty cool but i think it probably be MC Normal Teamwork
well because Arceus and Terapagos can make money so for sure DeNa wont give it to MC. Plus, type Null Battle Armor ability is just called Vigilance here
And if they're not afraid to reuse more Pokemon, there's always Regigigas.
But yeah, I feel like a Support Silvally would be amazing.
If they are kinder, it probably can help with giving team positive rebuff based on enemy types
like all of those arc suits passive
If only they would.
Only 1 fave, and i saved for 3 pities so im fine 
dang my birthday is so late in october it’s not even on the monthly schedule
how will this affect my luck /j
hey, should i keep trying to pull for ||ss kris|| or save for ||ss mina, ss hau, etc||
better Q for #poma-questions
ok
surprised there's no new mf
with what they just did on anni
unless it will be Arc + MF spam in December again
Nah I think they go back to just 3 new things per quarter
They just went nuts because it was 5th anni (hopefully)
Seeing second paradox this early, i wont be surprised if Christmas later will have iron bundle 
Santa Rosa 2 and Iron Bundle
I will grab that 
Although i hope that there wont be many faves, aint Master Fair pops up right after xmas
Inb4 they'll release NC Hoenn with the shiny regis
and it's Arc Santa Rosa de la Maria
istg everyone's birthday is in october
how's the gem count estimations
don't get your hopes up besties
october is historically one of the worst months of the year for gems

i'll try to gather as much funds for this month then o/
November also dry sometimes, i remembered scrounging for gems for pokewar SC 
I'm expecting 24k
Alr guys. Datamine just came out.. you know what that means.
Save gems 
Anyone did a gem count yet?
predicting 17.5k gems
Looks like we are getting at least one free sync pair in exchange for less gems (and the box system I guess)
The banner lasts more than a month = it's gonna be periodical and discontinue so not really a great thing
better than nothing i guess?
It's surely fine
Nothing new
That's all
I preferred the select with 3 options more
Yes, it being selectable is far more important than amount

Just came back from school
Their reruning like
||Multiple PFs||
Yet
no ingo exr
Nor submas rerun in general
what is this

Ingo EXR will eventually come
when?
I'm crying rn-
But anyways-
||SS N got strike exr tho- is that good tho?||
It's really good

13 pokefairs without exR left
It's gonna happen before half Anni at this rate
Its so sad, i havent finish my current faves EXR and this upcoming month added a bunch more of faves EXR 
Someone Can send me the pin with how many gems Can We get each day ?
24k? welp save month
bc october is so goated (unless it’s about get count)
did anyone calculate the gems yet?
nvm found it
Guys should I just
||pull for base lear?||
||he's gonna be there for the whole month cuz lodge banner which is good,but I wanna get him now in his current banner-||
||I LOVE HIM IN GENERAL,but I'm worried if submas would rerun at November,I have 2 pities rn help||
The ||Lear lodge banner would stay until November 1st so there is time to wait for the datamine first||

im still sad about no ingo exr tho
But hey
that gives him more higher chance to rerun for next month I hope
And this datamine is a w ngl
||new free ticket event has c elesa in it,YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS||
I’m at almost 100k again
Feeling pretty good for this month!
The ticket is random

So uh it's a 1/6 chance
Manifesting for you tho 
I would personally be fine with anyone but SS Cyn
I got Red to 2/5 from anni tixs lol
I'd be very happy if I could get him to 3/5 without spending any gems or candy
i only have 5k gems rn 😭
- october gems = 29k
i actually need to take it easy in november man
istg if I get SS red in that banner imma flip
I don't have anyone in that ticket scout EXECPT for SS red
5 out of 6 for a new limited though ;o
October only 21k?
Anyways
My mind is still discussing if I should
||pull for base lear now or nah||
I have 2 pities yes
And I have time to look at november datamine but
I just need a new unit to have comfort from,I'm crying cuz of no submas rerun
Lear is gonna go on lodge banner
Which has more low AF limited %s
As always it could have been worse 
It's better than the current pf rerun

For an October count it's amazing I'd say
September was actually pretty low
2022 was insanely rich
Well then
||imma wait til oct 1 and get him||
Finally
I will get a fav
It was still better than last year's
im doing this as a way to cope for no ingo rerun
I swear dena has a beef with the dude💀💔
what type of banners typically run in november, no mfs right
i definitely need to take it easy in november or else december and january are gonna ☠️
Usually more pokefairs
PF's and Eevee Day Varieties
Yeah Eevee day too
Last year we got penny
And Elaine
- ssroxie & piers
Year before unoVA
Or they rerun on ~20th Nov and leave after 1 week
Please lord n
Lemme check dates
I mean
I definitely doubt we'll get a Datamine after 27th
And Eevee day is 21st
nah man i want irida but i seriously have to chill in november
it’s not like irida is that high on my priority list rn anyways
Looks like we're getting a oct 30th datamine💀💀
Oh wait no-
I definitely misunderstood what I just read-
Possibly datamine on Monday to Thursday then
Woooohoooo
25+ days of waiting
my birthday being part of november’s monthly schedule is weird
the cut off was oct 28 for october 💀
Nah, events end on 25th oct
So 26-27 at latest
For datamine
W datamine from ticket. Aside from that it’s kinda mid to me.
And of course they offer the ticket not long after I ||select Wally||. Of course they would.
praying I get anyone else
ANOTHER 26TH DATAMINE
31 DAYS OF WAITING LETSS GOOOOO
september broke this year’s pattern of monday and wednesday datamines
or was it october?
Actually nvm
the datamine is for october but it came out september
--
I hope it ain't 28th then-
Well
Even more shit
||Volo is getting reruned........HES A FAV OF MINE||
||now I have to choose to either go for lear or volo💀💀||
Or wait and save
Because lear will rerun in lodge banner periodically
And volo is in a triple which is a bad idea if the other two ain't fave

i don't have any of the random pokefairs so this is a W for me :O
i do have my preferences but whatever i get will be good
Alright uhh
After going through datamine
I'm almost safe
||if that's a zerena rerun I saw tho I gotta get her,hope she's the maater's day mf so I can actually pity her||
||She is||
||welp there goes any saving I was gonna make in October||
||i should stop trying for lance dupes then ||
It'll take only half a year to 4/5
||is zerena 25th to mid nov?||
||25/10 to 24/11 as all Poma day MF||
||i can prob pity if i abandon arc dupes then ||
||actually will I even make it?arc suits left me with 1.6k gems||
If october is nasty not even the first 10 days of November will save me
You have 25k with Oct, then 20+ days of Nov to get 11k
Definitely possible
Just don't waste elsewhere
Yeah i gotta give up on lance dupes
December will likely be NC Hoenn/Alola
Idc about alola and hoenn cuz I never played them
Breathing months for that time then
Hope lance leaves soon
No other temptations for this month and the next after he leaves
Who are the units?
Can u tell me how many gems we will have from today until 7 october?
ingo sprint dena i know you can do it
I mean 8 months ago we were at like
40ish missing
That’s a lot of old units without one
They’re all pre-2nd anni units + Victor + Nemona
Who do you think will get
?
If they field exrd og Cynthia it would be pretty funny
I feel mega bad for my baby ingo rn-
been over a YEAR since he last reruned and still no exr for him,and his twin brother had an exr WAY before him💀💀
Honestly I’m kinda wondering what’s up with ||ss serena|| rerunning this month

I’m honestly wondering too
Irida, adaman, anni Steven and n still haven’t reran
And we just got arc Cynthia and lance
Maybe because of that person who got ss Serena on daily scout💀💀/J
The players really don’t need dragon or ground
Nah
I want more ground characters
I want my ingo rerun
ZA news on November cope
Saving N for his arc pair at half Anni and irida & adaman for Eevee day
Is there a way to see how much gem is it left to get before a banner is gone? I mean without making all the calculation each time
the pins have a gem breakdown
Seems like on my phone I can't see the pin
+pins
I made a mistake I counted the points rather than the number of sync pairs pulled. If you spend 15000 gems which is 55 sync pairs you have a .42% chance of pulling a arc sync pair
Sure, which still amounts to nothing in most cases
Because the odds are just indicative
After all the chance to get a dead multi out of those 5 multis is 0.09%
But I bet people get those much more often than a 1% master fair on first single
🙂
Back to 170k just in time for Oct datamine 
when do yall think we gonna get the gem break down?
i mean the october one
Gotta wait for Tlim to post it
ok
octs a definitive skip month for me, likely will skip whatever november brings too unless they manage to bait me with a big fav... the only fav that came this month is free (floatzel from DC) lol.
Nice amount, thanks Tlim 
November sometimes becomes a SC month, i hope not many of my fave will appear. Do it like this upcoming month, only 1 fave and its all good 
Leaders*
Oh right there's eevee day, hope there's free eeveelutions ticket again
We don't have any wardens 
Inb4 they replacing Chatelaines 
Most recent hisui content we got was March btw 
Lian kleavor bug teamwork 
I still didn't have any hisui faves, quick DeNa give em manaphy/heatran/thundurus/enamorus or something 
I also don't mind dupes if its different form so those origin forms and shaymin land are on the table as well

@crisp grotto
Thank you for the wonderful work 
Thanks for your monthly crunch lol
24 eh not bad about average
Wait crap only 4 move candy coin? Yikes.
14 strike coins woohoo 
Man, im not sure if i should save my yellow candy for future arc faves or just use it as strike candy and complete 3/5 of all current faves
But 4 move candy coins though, need 5 months to form a yellow candy
But i do have lear, so 5 move coins for me
i can form the sprint candies i need but darn the move candy coin income...
I guess it will take more time, now that arc suit exists, i cannot spend yellow candies, if not, it will take 10 months to 3/5 
At worse ||flutter mane|| only need 3 months-ish to 3/5
THIS DATAMINE IS A W GUYS
But.....not for me tho
My poor ingo still has no exr--
meanwhile his twin bro has one

Im quite happy with 24k, i expected worse ngl, usually after anni the gems are pretty dry
I think so, the one with fall morty
Because i remembered that i only managed to get by with pokewar SC because i skipped that month and there's some leftovers from anni
2021 was 18k on most months
I'm pleased with the datamine
I just wish they would have multi candy or something
That's really the only thing from anniversary that still stinks
Emmet has Supp EXR so Ingo will get Strike EXR 
Ingo get Tech 
My fave finally getting hit by support+tech exr combo. Sure took DeNa long enough 
Stop manifesting shitty EXR for ingo I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE 
gem count?
pins

IS THAT GOOD OR NAH
Submas slander
This server really doesnt like submas ngl--
NO
PLS NO
INGO SUFFERED ENOUGH GUYS COME ON
bro got isekai'd to another world and got amnesia thanks to a hisuian zoroark and bro haven't been reruned for over a YEAR now and still no rerun and EXR
give bro a break😭😭

nahhhhhhhhh
Strike would be worse than tech
Sprint sounds good
--
💀💀💀💀
y'all seriously hate this dude

I think he's support role--
But idk what EXR is good for him tho--
Wait til he gets support EXR like his twin brother
yall lost me hope in giving ingo a good EXR

ingo is already support
Ok uhhhhhh
strike
I lost hope-
sprint and field are his only decent choices
tech wouldn't be as bad as strike as that would at least give him a small bulk buff
Yeah
Sprint>field>>>>tech>strike
i wish old spotlights got exr enmasse
just please Dena don't make every support a tech
except Lyra
she can get a tech, and Dawn too
I had a question as I am guessing if the Kanto bird trio is coming on new year . I have the articuno so should I save for both of the other ones or should I go for zygarde and save the rest of the gems ????









Operation Saving; is an go!
