Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[vale scarab]

Now I should be good for a long time

[tardy fiber]

I do rallies for cake medals and sync orbs

[broken mulch]

All you do is whine about rallies I’ve seen lately lol

[cinder cave]

Rallies would be so awesome if bug upgrade and trial giver werent upgrades 💔

/hj

[vale scarab]

Am I wrong tho?

Especially for me who is forced to do the easy mode

Rallies for me is a chore more than a fun gamemode

[tardy fiber]

I agree, because my Bug roster is the saddest out of all types

I think i only have 12 bug pairs

[nimble vapor]

Dw just wait for Pasio theme!!!

[cinder cave]

That'd suck lmao

Ig at least i have ss lear

[tardy fiber]

Use eggmons

They are all Pasio

[cinder cave]

True!

[candid burrow]

Oh we're still 18/20

[cinder cave]

Its zennover

[candid burrow]

[vale scarab]

:/

Sadge

I believe there were 1 or 2 people who wanted to join

So we can add them probably

[summer goblet]

at least we get gems

still we do need to track the people's progress and log in habits

[cinder cave]

I login always

I have to to afford ||the bike lizards||

[candid burrow]

So we lost 20 coins only

Not bad ig

[vale scarab]

U got 240 coins?

[candid burrow]

Yes

[tardy fiber]

Luckily we only lose 20 coins

[candid burrow]

So it's 60 coins for 7 logins and then 10 per each member

[tardy fiber]

Oh there's cheaper tickets

70 limit

Guys, empty this first before the 600 ones

Dont misclick

[cinder cave]

Login proof

Im the 4th ig

Did all i can for today 😅

[tardy fiber]

Darn there's some problem, there's exclamation mark now after i claimed gym tickets. I hate it

[cinder cave]

Ill do crk dailies and then finish stamina mission

[summer goblet]

i was thinking,

maybe we should create a separate discord server or a group chat of some kind so we can gather all dedicated members and tried to encourage everyone to login and do their daily tasks

and also communicate as much as possible

just a thought

[vale scarab]

missions start today nice

[vale scarab]

most gyms will be doing that

so sure ig

i am yet to login todya

i will do it a bit later

(hopefully we can get 20 active members, so getting S rank will be easy)

[tardy fiber]

Invite me if it happens

[cinder cave]

Same

[oak crest]

o dang

we have 2 members who didnt logon ytd

[tardy fiber]

Oh neat, they also count legendary arenas. I was testing my team for gauntlet and it increased.

[summer goblet]

alright I created a very basic gem zen discord server so that we can all meet up

[tardy fiber]

Ok give me the link

[summer goblet]

i sent it through your dm

[cinder cave]

Can i get one as well

Whoops just got it

[summer goblet]

i send the link to the members

[cinder cave]

Gotta wake up in like 5 hours tho so good night for now

[summer goblet]

goodnight

[crisp grotto]

Y'all please keep personal discord server advertising / links outside of the server, and keep in mind the purpose of this channel is general resource saving - not discussing individual gym missions

[summer goblet]

yeah i get that so i go and do it privately

[vale scarab]

One is me

(also I think it's best if we delete our previous messages

[topaz compass]

Do we have calculation for how many gym coins we can earn in a month based on solo missions + group 20/20?

I am having trouble finding the pastebin for the solo mission rewards at all tiers

[summer goblet]

i don't think so

[topaz compass]

I found the pastebin, seems we won't earn much more than the 21k total needed for the 70 discounted ones

So basically Dena only giving us 2 success of gym units per month average with 100 tickets

[vale scarab]

i just got a question, which channel do we discuss about gym related stuff, not our own gym, but the gym as a feature and its missions etc

[topaz compass]

I asked here simply because it about resources haha

[crisp grotto]

We are considering a channel for this purpose - #poma-lounge is fine for now

[vale scarab]

alright

[stiff plaza]

Who in the forseeable future will be good at low-investment? As in, don't need to get a crap ton of copies for them to be worth it? I'm saving pulls in preparation so I gotta know.

[vale scarab]

Probably gotta wait for the priority chart ig

[robust plaza]

I need help on planning my paid gems.|| I am on tier 4 of pmarley tiered scout and have 150 paid gems and on day 19 of orb bundle and day 6 of candy bundle. How much gems do i need to buy to get the guaranteed ticket? The rest of the tiered scout requires 17500 gems||

[dark oar]

||will you buy the Orb Bundle when it runs out ? ||

[robust plaza]

Yes

And the candy bundle in 14 days

[dark oar]

After some calculations, i think you'd want to ||spend real money for paid gems to completely get her. The bundles in total is 8950~ before she's about to dip.||

[robust plaza]

That’s my plan

[dark oar]

You need about ||8550 paid gems more on top of the bundles||

hum well good luck o.o

[robust plaza]

That’s an odd number

Thank you

[dark oar]

Honestly, if you can ||get her half way using the 25% ticket||

that'd be less on your ||paid gems|| reserves.

[robust plaza]

When will the february gem packs show up? @dark oar

After 2 days?

[dark oar]

No idea. D:

[tardy fiber]

I hope there's a cheap 1000 paid gems deal on half anni

[tardy fiber]

Because i think i will have less than 10k paid gems on half anni and it will be troublesome if there's a lot of 5k select

[short crystal]

i think half anni typically has the 3k gems selects

#1142434215208702073 message

[tardy fiber]

I remembered that its 3k for seasonal and variety, but i forgot about pokefair

[short crystal]

i think the pokefair ones are only 5k if it's a 25x scout

like we got for new year's

[tardy fiber]

Urgh, i will have to prioritise that if it has volo

[short crystal]

it should have volo if they divide them by regions like last year

[tardy fiber]

Its harder for sprint/field select to appear than other roles

[tardy fiber]

Hopefully

[short crystal]

yeah that's true

i also want to select volo

from the sinnoh one anyway

[tardy fiber]

I want him just for lodge well 3k-5k for 2 pairs is a good value for me

[short crystal]

same and i just like him but i might pick someone else instead and pull volo when he gets a lodge banner. not sure yet

5k is a bit on the expensive side imo but still good value for a poke fair of your choice + possibly more poke fairs showing up in your multi

[tardy fiber]

Yep, for remaining paid gems. I probably get Petrel. I dont think i will have enough for second pokefair. Plus, cannot get variety units from run up free 100 pulls

[short crystal]

i think i'll only have enough for one of the selects, unless there's a good deal i didn't know variety units were also in the selects though

actually i think i'll be able to do two of the selects

and i don't want anyone from the kanto johto and hoenn selects anyway so that works out for me

[tardy fiber]

I use the sync orb bundle as my base value. If the gem deal is equal or better than it, i will grab it

[short crystal]

yep me too i also have the candy coin one rn

[broken mulch]

Don’t forget to complete Viola’s photo missions for gems

[vale scarab]

man how do people form faves, people say faves>meta

but i cant even think of any character that i would have as a fave lol

maybe a few pokemon there are i consider cool, but not sure if they are "faves"

[tardy fiber]

Thats the thing, my faves criteria are pokemons not characters

[crude glacier]

Usually happens when you get interested in the game stories

[vale scarab]

tbf i havent fully completed like any game

i know the story cuz of watching playthroughs

[crude glacier]

Since characters are the ones that make the story, you start getting interested in them

That’s how you make faves

[vale scarab]

i started SV, and im yet to finish them

[crude glacier]

There it is

[cinder cave]

Playing mainline games, or even watching the anime or even spinoffs

[vale scarab]

10 hours in and 2 badeges

i think i finished sword but like im not sure

[cinder cave]

Its okay no one remembers SWSH/J

[tardy fiber]

Well my faves motivation is based on my playthrough, i keep using legendaries as soon as I catch them. And i plan to keep that feeling in PoMa as well

[vale scarab]

/J?

[cinder cave]

Joking

[vale scarab]

ok

i remember the entire story of sword, i just dont remember where i have done it through

(actually, now that i think about it i did the fairy gym)

[tardy fiber]

Adding UBs and Paradoxes because Solgaleo/Lunala/Necrozma are kinda like UBs and Koraidon/Miraidon are paradoxes so i cannot be bias with others ||and to increase my roster type coverage totally||

[short crystal]

it can also be as simple as people just liking the characters' designs a lot, since a lot of pokemon characters aren't really fleshed

[vale scarab]

so the last game i finished was pokemon emerald like 7 years ago on my parents phone on an emulator

[short crystal]

||marnie would be a good example, she's fairly popular but mainly for her design and personality traits||

[vale scarab]

why is that spoilered?

||pal marnie||

?

[cinder cave]

I forget about ||Marnie|| everytime

[short crystal]

yeah i think we're not supposed to say their names here?

that's why i spoilered

[cinder cave]

If possible its always good to spoiler names

[short crystal]

to not tempt anyone

[vale scarab]

alright, i forgot she was running

i was confused cuz i thought no ||marnie|| pair wasrunning

[short crystal]

rerun banner but yeah i guess she is rerunning soon

[vale scarab]

i havent even touched violet but i want ||florian|| over ||juliana ||(or whatever her name is), cuz i have like no good electric pairs (4* hau is not bad, but he isnt enough, especially without ex) and for fighting i already have rei and will get riley

but the ||bike|| ||lizards ||are so cool tho, its hard not to like those

[short crystal]

that's understandable

a lot of people also mainly pull for the pokemon themselves

[cinder cave]

I only have riley for fighting but i want ||Miraidon|| more because i played ||Violet||

[vale scarab]

and i feel like when your roster is underdeveloped and barely any faves, it might be slightly better to get a few good pairs first

[short crystal]

i don't think i would've pulled for ||mela|| if she didn't have ||armarouge||, and i'm tempted to go for ||anni lillie|| mainly for ||lunala||

[vale scarab]

no one should pull for the recent mcs cuz they are mcs, u are literally pulling yourself

[cinder cave]

Makes me wonder whos gonna be legendary adventure for paldea

[short crystal]

yeah most would recommend pulling for meta first and fave second if your roster is lacking

like mine

[vale scarab]

kieran trust

or whoever has ogerpon

i dont know

[short crystal]

the only time i pulled for meta reasons was for ||nc red||,i couldn't care less about him as a character

[vale scarab]

though if i know SV pokemon fans, they love ogerpon

for dena it would be a cash cow

[vale scarab]

we have 0 lines from him, soi dont blame u

[short crystal]

terapagos maybe?

[vale scarab]

are they legends?

[short crystal]

terapagos? yes

buuut then again i think they would save that one for a master fair

hard to say

[vale scarab]

what would they type them lol

[short crystal]

good question

[vale scarab]

(my entire SV knowledge is from meme reviews)

[cinder cave]

Either terapagos, pecharunt or ogerpon

[vale scarab]

ORORR

its the paradox elgends

[cinder cave]

Oh true

[short crystal]

i forgot about those

do they count as legendaries?

[vale scarab]

they would probably be with ss or sc or seasonals tho

no character that they could fit with tbh

[vale scarab]

what makes a MF

1. legendary

2. champion

given how scream tail and ||bike lizards|| are MF

i would assume they consider them legends

[cinder cave]

I think walking wake and iron leaves could fit sada and turo if they make them MF

[vale scarab]

still dont get why did ||bike lizards|| go to mcs

[vale scarab]

although

(dont correct me if im wrong)

lore wise there are 2 lizards

so~

we have hope

[short crystal]

i was just wondering because in the games i think they're just considered normal paradox pokemon. though i could be wrong

[vale scarab]

they have box legend stats i beleive

[short crystal]

oh

i stand corrected then

[cinder cave]

Youre not wrong

There are but will they just release... ||bike lizards|| again...?

[short crystal]

would be cool if they made them shiny if they were to rerelease them

but i think it's unlikely

[vale scarab]

i should have also said, dont confirm what i saidd lol

[cinder cave]

Whoops

[vale scarab]

its fine

i have watched enough memes and stuff to be mostly spoiled lol

that is what happens when u dont finish a game even 2 years after its release

[cinder cave]

Its okay i havent finished teal mask

[short crystal]

tbf i also finished violet and the dlc last year despite having it since launch

[cinder cave]

Been too lazy

[onyx tinsel]

I think the gym feature has potential, but I still want them to remove the bottleneck for arc candies

How do you all feel

[dark oar]

I think its okay, esp if they are releasing arc pairs once every 3 months.

Tbh im sitting on 2+ candies (minus sprint) currently.

I did just drop 3 yellow candies on || arc steven|| a month ago.

[stiff plaza]

Unless she's absolutely outstanding, I'll probably skip on ||Palentine Erika,|| and honestly ||Palentine Marley|| (I dunno if any of my ||Sinnoh|| units will actually end up being good cuz of her), because I don't really need another ||Erika|| for my collector's bones, and ||Florian and Juliana|| sound like they're gonna be the ones I wanna gun for

In terms of account value

[dark oar]

Spoiler the names

All the names. Ppl can be tempted if theyre revealed. ||Including Palentines units||

[stiff plaza]

Including the Palentine ones? I'm new here so i dunno if it's based on them being in the game yet/announced or not lol. I assume so,

Oke

[dark oar]

Its their in this month, so spoiler them

[stiff plaza]

They've been revealed in-game, so I didn't think it mattered. Mb

[cinder cave]

Its not cuz spoilers, its more to not tempt people

[stiff plaza]

Ahhh okey

[dark oar]

Honestly, Master Fairs have better value since they can do a lot more. Typically.

So most ppl go for them. Though a fave is around the corner, so even if the target is a seasonal, theyd roll with pity in mind.

[stiff plaza]

Have any of the leaks been saying which ||of the two Bike Legendaries|| will provide more value?

[nimble vapor]

I wouldn’t call them leaks

[stiff plaza]

true

[nimble vapor]

And this is a question suited for #poma-questions imo

[stiff plaza]

gotcha

[broken mulch]

What do you mean how lol

Favorites are a personal thing, people get attached to the darndest things

For instance I am attached to Cynthia because I love me a woman that can kick my ass

[tardy fiber]

Faves = pull because you like the character, outfit or the pokemon or both
Meta = pull because the unit has OP kit or because it helps to make your roster more complete either for clearing contents, team synergies or type coverage

[broken mulch]

Aye

Unlike original gachas this game use a preexisting IP so people come into this game with favorites already lol

That isn’t to say the game doesn’t make you like the characters more though lol

Like a few events made me go “oh goddammit I like them now”

[vale scarab]

Idk man, I have never been a guy that emotionally connects to video game characters, so I never really understood that concept, what more can I say

[tardy fiber]

Yep, the main point that makes me like some characters here usually because of their voice. Mainline game got zero voicelines so poma is a breath of fresh air

[broken mulch]

That’s dumb lol

[vale scarab]

Whatever you say pal

[strange trout]

My fave characters are idiots because they remind me of myself
