[glad acorn]

I'd suggest this spread if you have lussamine

[nimble olive]

I managed to get 10 blue 10 chest with this

[glad acorn]

Replace Korrina with Siebold if you get a cheer

[rigid pilot]

Holy shit the whales

[north moat]

Is it really whaling tho??

[nimble olive]

Nah I'm f2p most of these are old/f2p units

[north moat]

If you end up using saved F2P gems??

[glad acorn]

That's just one limited unit in my list. Whales?

[halcyon seal]

Need confirmation, we can only trigger Max vibes bonus once right? After that I should use the chart to give me answers with max values correct?

[glad acorn]

My only issue is that it can only suffice with a cheer

[nimble olive]

Yeah I think I'll steal your loadouts

[glad acorn]

That said, it's hard to further optimize a cache team when they are ruthless with their -2

[zealous osprey]

If you have SS Gio and SS Kris, you can check out my 10/10 blue cache team without cheers

[nimble olive]

Yeah it's awkward how pretty much all of them give -2 to blues when the cache bonus comes with the blue bonus

[cold ferry]

for 5 slots what the beat team for getting these

[nimble olive]

Unfortunately no gio for me

[cold ferry]

I keep getting 4 star stones and fiery stones when I need gold yellow and blue

[rigid pilot]

I don't have most general pool units lmao

This is some new level of skill issue

[cold ferry]

lmao

[cold ferry]

help

[glad acorn]

Pool your team for level 10 in both of them. Should take you a day

[zealous osprey]

If you don't need to worry about the cache buff, than it should be fairly easy to form two 10/10 teams

[thick widget]

Any suggested teams for Team B that can boost rare cache and yellow thingy?

[cold ferry]

which pairs will get me both lvl 10

[thick widget]

Nvm found one in #916852044692856834

[cold ferry]

Team a doesnt have lvl 10

[glad acorn]

What I mean is for each team to go something like 1/5/10/1 and another 1/10/5/1

Also, SS Leaf is not ideal if you don't go full Kanto

[shell solstice]

These are only obtainable from chests right?

[glad acorn]

Yes

[lusty hazel]

To whoever shared the Hoenn team, thanks a lot. I like this build. Now for maximum gambling.

[quiet vortex]

[soft tree]

[hollow kiln]

Gloria and Hilda both look so cute, but Volkner is just minding his own business

[void lintel]

He's thinking about his next electrifyingly red-hot rendezvous with Flint.

Neither has a weakness advantage over the other (electric vs fire), so he needs to come up with new tactics to gain an edge.

[halcyon seal]

@lusty hazel I freaking knew it was possible. This is probably the best set up if you have cheer for maximum value. I got as far as Team A 10,10 and Team B 7,8,8. My goal was to be able to max chest while still being above 7 to get golds. Totally stealing this team

[lethal marsh]

Good

[lusty hazel]

Hey you’re welcome, glad it helped

If you have SS Gio you can improve the second Team better for 10 Wistful and 10 Cache

Right now my current Team B gives 9 wistful and 10 Cache without Cheer.

[halcyon seal]

@lusty hazel I do but this is definitely a tomorrow thing since my cheer just ran out a few minutes ago.

[lusty hazel]

Alright. For reference the setup is Team B with SS Gio, SS Kris, Silver, Lana, Plumeria and Lillie

[hollow kiln]

Does China have PoMa Ex?

[shell solstice]

Officially no but ppl use vpn

[sage socket]

Why do chinese people cant play it?

[rigid pilot]

Because china

[shell solstice]

Google play is blocked here. Not sure if it's in Apple store or not

[rigid pilot]

[halcyon seal]

@lusty hazel

[rigid pilot]

Apple not blocked there?

[sage socket]

I see

[lusty hazel]

Team A?

[thorny beacon]

that looks like B since they have the +1 all potion thingy

…wait

[shell solstice]

Apple is not blocked

[lusty hazel]

Oh sorry I noticed you have omni

Is with Rare Extract

@halcyon seal

[sage socket]

So peole in ios are able to play

[lethal marsh]

What trainer could substitute Steven for a full Hoenn team and max production?

[halcyon seal]

@lusty hazel I was actually planning on swapping to Rare so its still great information to have

[void lintel]

I'm not sure it'd work anywhere near as well, since Steven's got the +6

[zealous osprey]

Nah, DeNa block the mainland China IPs, so still needs vpn

[void lintel]

There are at most two region-match bonus units in each region, and the other's May with +4 Yellow

[lethal marsh]

Thanks for the info

[shell solstice]

I think poma EX is not available in our region but not 100% sure

[sage socket]

They're losing a lot of money

[void lintel]

Does China allow games like this in it

I was under the impression that its internet is very strictly regulated for outside influences

[lusty hazel]

Steven is the only one that can gives you 6 Fiery in Hoenn

Atm

[rigid pilot]

Nah pretty sure the cn translation is for TW

[shell solstice]

For sure, Genshin is Chinese

[rigid pilot]

[lusty hazel]

Pretty much this

[void lintel]

Maybe China is just mad at DeNA in particular

[lusty hazel]

I can see why China does it

[rigid pilot]

Ya but that's under mihoyo which is CN company iirc

[void lintel]

DeNA's from Japan, so it could be political yeah

[rigid pilot]

Naw they okay with p unite

So surely it isn't they hate pokemon

[shell solstice]

Unite is not gacha tho

[zealous osprey]

Actually, that's also not true😂

[void lintel]

What does that have anything to do with DeNA?

[lusty hazel]

I think P Unite is made by a chinese studio

[rigid pilot]

Isn't the game tencent owned?

I was under the impression it was

[void lintel]

DeNA is not the Pokémon company.
The name of the Pokémon company is literally The Pokémon Company

[lethal marsh]

Where can I see best team comps?

[zealous osprey]

Yes but it's not officially published in mainland China

[rigid pilot]

I stand corrected then

[lethal marsh]

I mean like a guide with the right sync pairs

[rigid pilot]

Uhh #poma-questions

Unless u mean for lodge

[lusty hazel]

Oh there’s a google doc in this section pin

[lethal marsh]

I mean right sync pairs for expeditions

[zealous osprey]

Check out the google doc in pins

[void lintel]

The answer is gonna vary wildly based on what you're trying to get, and who you have

[lethal marsh]

Gotcha 👍

[lusty hazel]

Yeah the doc has plenty of teams build up

[void lintel]

I'll tell ya this much

[lethal marsh]

❤️

[lusty hazel]

And the numbers you’ll get

[void lintel]

Champions and Elite 4 tend to have the valuable +3/-1 spread

[lusty hazel]

Not sure I can share the link

I would

[void lintel]

Gym Leaders have a less-exciting but sometimes-useful +1/+1 spread

Rivals, Villains, and Battle Facility Foes tend to be the ones that have +Rare

[glad acorn]

Easiest regional bonus is probably Kalos and Alola? Every other regions needs a limited pair

[void lintel]

All but one of Alola's Trial Captains have the valuable +3/-1 spread. The excpetion is Hala, who has a Gym Leader-style spread, and I have no idea why

[lusty hazel]

@lethal marsh let me know if you found it or need help reaching it.

[void lintel]

This plus the Trial Captain thing makes Alola really freaking good

[alpine flare]

Unova uses Nate and hilbert

Unless you mean something else

[rigid pilot]

Free character

[void lintel]

Main Characters and typeless units (such as Oak or upcoming Naomi) tend to have a boring but sometimes practical +2/+0 spread

[glad acorn]

Don't forget Ku- Royal Mask and Lusamine for the cache too

[void lintel]

...What?

[rigid pilot]

Can't give op stuff

[void lintel]

Hala isn't free, he's gacha

[glad acorn]

[rigid pilot]

Misread as hapu

[glad acorn]

Hala is free. While I still have just 2/5

[rigid pilot]

[zealous osprey]

+1/+1 buffs can be quite handy when paired with those +6 pairs

[lusty hazel]

Yeah we need more of those

And 0-4

[void lintel]

+1/+1 is useful if you have one thing at exactly Lv9. But... Gym Leaders are eight to a region so that's kind of a bit much...

[glad acorn]

But yeah, I guess there is Unova too, but Kalos will be the easiest to get since Sycamore is free. There is Serena but you can just ring the bell in regional scout for a 50/50

[zealous osprey]

Not to alola lol, and that's where I need some kind of +1/+1 most

[void lintel]

Yeah Hapu has +3/-1 and is therefore awesome

[lusty hazel]

Lillie is from Alola, so of course Alola will have the best bonus

And most f2p friendly

Lillie is DeNA girl.

[glad acorn]

Hoenn E4 are great too but you have to go off region

[void lintel]

Sometimes Rosa is. She's even the one they used for the tutorial. But she doesn't have a special region bonus-- she just has the standard MainCharacter/Typeless profile of +2/+0

[long merlin]

I don't have lillie

[lusty hazel]

I hope Ash has good bonus

[rigid pilot]

He's gonna be a +2/0

[void lintel]

Unless they give him something special (which they might!), he's probably going to have +2 Fiery

[rigid pilot]

[void lintel]

Main Character and Striker

[thorny beacon]

fellow ash haters, what if he got something busted like +2 all…would you consider him

(i could see them giving him something wacky but maybe not That wacky)

[void lintel]

You don't have to hear his voice if he's not in the top-left teamslot

[lusty hazel]

I still scouting for Ash

[void lintel]

Because I think that's the slot that gets the Cheer On icon

So that's the only one you have to hear more than once

[thorny beacon]

ohhh that actually makes sense

[lusty hazel]

Ash and Red hopefully have something different

[thorny beacon]

imagine playing the game with sound on

[void lintel]

You'd only have to hear him once while putting him into the team

[lusty hazel]

Otherwise they might end up with the same bonus

[pastel swallow]

highest record without boost juice

[lusty hazel]

I suspect Anni Cynthia will have good bonus

[void lintel]

D'you think they'll give him bonus dialogue for Misty, May, and Dawn... "Sorry about your bike!"

[lusty hazel]

Did you used a present?

[void lintel]

If she doesn't get something special, she'll have +3/-1 ,which is useful. Aura Cynthia has Champion but not Battle Facility Foe.

[void lintel]

Present Multiplier: 1.3

[lusty hazel]

Oh!!!

[void lintel]

That's still a really good result though

[lusty hazel]

Thanks just saw it

Yeah lol

[pastel swallow]

wow need 4/5 and 5/5

[pastel swallow]

yes silver present

[lusty hazel]

I called it

Did you used it before the vibe?

[sharp bramble]

Aww yiss

[pastel swallow]

the trick is to hit hot topic ( even if the answer is bad)

[sharp bramble]

Kalos and Alola expedition teams are go

[pastel swallow]

yes

my vibe only hit after 5 iirc

[lusty hazel]

Gotcha… Starting to think of a good strategy

I feel like avoiding the max vibe before hitting less than 79%

[pastel swallow]

hit max vibe as early as possible imo

[lusty hazel]

Then with present restores the attention points

And starts with the hot topic

[sharp bramble]

Yeah you wanna hit max vibes immediately

[pastel swallow]

only +20 tho

[sharp bramble]

Who knows when they’ll drop you like it’s hot

[pastel swallow]

i used the moment she falls under 80

[lusty hazel]

I did try that with Lillie, and I hit max vibes at 89% with glasses.

And couldn’t use present during vibe, has to be before

After vibe I restored it back to 100%. Then She got bored at 89%. Bad luck lol

[sharp bramble]

Dammit

What the hell are Cynthia’s Other topics

[lusty hazel]

I need to be bff with Lillie. I know DeNA will run statistics of people profile and checking who’s doing Lillie

They will be blessing our account

[void lintel]

[sharp bramble]

Also LMAO

This is digging up the bottom of the barrel for conversation topics

[void lintel]

If you only have a bronze present

[pastel swallow]

did u use any items

[void lintel]

Now's the time to use it

Because it reshuffles your topics

[sharp bramble]

No presents

[void lintel]

So you can get a different one

Oh

[pastel swallow]

rip

[void lintel]

Welp

[lusty hazel]

Can you use more than 1 present? Haven’t noticed

Or just one per interaction?

[void lintel]

You can only Give Present once

[lusty hazel]

Okay

[rugged rose]

it has to be same present x however many interactions as well

[void lintel]

If you're Use All Interactionsing, the button costs another present for each extra Interaction

[sharp bramble]

Man what

[void lintel]

It saves you time, but not items

[pastel swallow]

yea

it eats up 3 presents

[rugged rose]

I think i may just do two at a time

[sharp bramble]

Hmm

[jolly cove]

I don't recommend using all interactions

[sharp bramble]

So it’s still a gamble lol

[jolly cove]

Because of luck

[warm plank]

How to get it? Get lucky also gratzyy Aqua

[void lintel]

3 interactions mean you need 3 copies of each boost item you wanna use, and 3 copies of the present you wanna give

[sharp bramble]

Do you go all in and hope for keeping their attention until 0%

Or do you divide to dodge the unlucky drop at 99% ones

[void lintel]

It ends up being the same overall, tbh

I guess if someone really wants to spend more time hanging out with their favorite character then I can understand not stacking Interactions for that one

[sharp bramble]

Me

[void lintel]

They're not in the Lodge... yet. Skyla's a fan-favorite, though, so I wouldn't be surprised to see her show up eventually

[lusty hazel]

Omg

[void lintel]

Maybe her alternate mon will be a Striker. We could always use some more freebie Flying strikers for when Blue isn't well-suited for the fight

[lusty hazel]

Skyla

But no, I cant. Lillie comes first

Lillie = Account Bless

[void lintel]

Yeah, I wanted another Fairy attacker so I went with Lillie

Cynthia and Blue are next in line since they have Supports

[jolly cove]

I went with N because it's N

[void lintel]

Also they're Champions so they bring +3/-1 spreads to Expeditions

[lusty hazel]

I like Cynthia & Gastrodon

[jolly cove]

Idc about meta

[void lintel]

Considering how much it hecking costs to buy presents for each interaction... I might need to split my attention between Lillie and one of those Champions...

Just to divide my crystal expenses between red and blue

Might even need May in here at some point since I can't otherwise get rid of the yellow ones

[lusty hazel]

I like the silver present, seems like the perfect option

[void lintel]

Today I'm going to be using Bronze ones because I can't afford the silver ones (just spent all my silver stones on slot 5)

[lean river]

Is it normal for them to not give you exciting or super exciting options that's on topic?

[void lintel]

Yes

See here.

(It even made it to the Starboard.)

[lean river]

How you increase the multiplier?

[void lintel]

https://discordapp.com/channels/583120259708616715/943947513260560424/1012764221257306162

[void lintel]

Which multiplier?

[pastel swallow]

honestly just choose the hot topic even tho the answer is shit

that will likely activate max vibes

[lean river]

I saw someone with pt x1.3and x3

[void lintel]

Well, have you checked what the names of those multipliers are

[lean river]

1.3 is from the item but idk where the x3 come from

[void lintel]

x3 is from using 3x interactions

(Which also means you need to use 3x the items)

[lean river]

You can use multiple???

[void lintel]

Use All Interactions button

It does not save items, it only saves time

[pastel swallow]

1.3 (giving silver presents) , x3(do all 3 interactions at one go but must use 3x items)

[void lintel]

It makes your one conversation cost as much, and yield as much, as if you had three completely identical conversations

[lean river]

So 1 present can used on all 3 interaction?

[pastel swallow]

No

[void lintel]

I literally just said the opposite of that

[pastel swallow]

it will use all 3

[lean river]

Ok

[pastel swallow]

if u have less than 3 , the present button will not activate

[pastel swallow]

your explaination sux

[void lintel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1012298913279127582/1012933086893314048/pain.png

[lean river]

Agreed

Jkjk

Thanks

[pastel swallow]

But anyway

just hit the hot topic (before max vibes) even tho answer is shit

VERY IMPT

[odd cove]

Is there any resource out there

That has the lounge stats of all sync pairs?

[pastel swallow]

pinned

for the combos

[odd cove]

Oh thanks

[lean river]

But the topic is ???

Should I use specs every interaction?

[void lintel]

They're dirt cheap

So why not

[tepid stone]

Got these unlocked this morning 😄

[lean river]

Ok then, after tdy I should be done with extra slot

[analog furnace]

I have the slots so I can spare interaction items now

[proven vector]

Is there a 5 slot team that can get 10 rare chest and 10 of another item?

[void lintel]

I don't think I can actually use my tier1 crystals faster than I earn them, even with specs+shovelmic on every interaction

[lean river]

I haven't done with slot

[void lintel]

Omni Extract is so good for tier1 crystal income

[lean river]

Done with red and orange, now doing blue

[analog furnace]

I’m still working on slot 6 though, actually

But I can spare the bronze & silver tier items, at least

[analog furnace]

Grats!

[lean river]

Almost there

[analog furnace]

Nicee

[lean river]

Luckily I able to do lvl 10 for all 3

[analog furnace]

That screenshot is really dimmed tho ngl

[lean river]

Ya idk why

My SS is weird tdy

[analog furnace]

Either way, real close to all your slots!

[floral tinsel]

With all 6 slots unlocked what are the optimal teams? My guess would be 10 rare on both, and 10 for the color of the unit you’re upgrading on one team and alternate on the other team.

[worldly ivy]

I do my interactions one at a time cause I don't want 3x the unlucky end at 90%, even if it could also be a 3x lucky end at 20%

[analog furnace]

Ye same

Tho it might be a strat to use a bunch of items in 1 go & use multiple interactions

Still risky

[tepid stone]

It's a little awkward that you're kinda incentivized to change your teams whenever you have the cheer boost up

I really wonder how they decided on everyone's expedition skills

[alpine flare]

someone was talking about it earlier above, something related to the trainer class theme skill

[tepid stone]

oh interesting

[last trellis]

once you unlock the 3 extra slots, is it possible to just speed run units with the interaction items?

[analog furnace]

In a sense, yeah

[alpine flare]

like the glasses and such?

[last trellis]

yea

and the pendants

[analog furnace]

You’re still limited by number of interactions etc, but it all helps speed things up

[alpine flare]

i don't think it makes it that much faster, but definitely improves somewhat

[tepid stone]

you can still only get 3 extra interactions a day, for 6 total

[last trellis]

as long as I'm not being dumb, feels like i can double my speed

[hard badger]

What seems to be the rate for the emerald orbs? They seem pretty common but 9 a day of each seems rather difficult

[last trellis]

ah ok, didn't realize it was capped

looked like an infinity money glitch but for units, for a sec 💀

[analog furnace]

Ye, exactly, still limited by number of interactions

[tepid stone]

these are the teams I'm running now when I don't have the cheer bonus up (should give 1/10/1/10 and 10/1/1/10 respectively); currently trying to build different ones for when I do have the cheer up

[last trellis]

i still think i could get pretty far tho

[analog furnace]

Sure, over time, yeah

[last trellis]

shame i don't know a single thing about cynthia

[analog furnace]

Can use a pinned guide

I’m just too much of an N nerd personally

[pastel swallow]

i just bookmark serebii page

so everytime i go for a date , im prepared

[last trellis]

oh 💀 all this seems extremely useful thx

[magic scaffold]

Cheer time, let’s go!

[pale marsh]

Infinite money glitch?

[raw hare]

Should I risk 3 interactions at once next time??

[keen wolf]

Probably not

[alpine flare]

it doesn't really matter, it's up to you. statistically both will get the same result

[raw hare]

Oh

I used all 6.....and Marnie is now lvl 15

[alpine flare]

very nice

[raw hare]

No one here choose Prof. Sycamore?

[tepid stone]

I really wanted to, but he gives a striker with not much utility 😦

[floral tinsel]

Is there a team for Team A at 6 slots that has 10 red + 10 rare or 10 blue + 10 rare. I don’t see a way rn to run either of those as Team A, only as team B so they can’t run in parallel

[lethal marsh]

I dont think I seen one person go for sycamore

[visual remnant]

Yeeeeee

[tepid stone]

Team A: ss lusamine / hau / selene / hapu / guzma / noland with omniboost gives 10/1/1/10

Here's what I came up with for omniboost + cheer. not sure if it's worth the -1 in chests to get red and blue to 10/7 in the first one, but meh (first one's team B)

[floral tinsel]

Ah I didn’t see that one thx

[lucid steppe]

I got trolled

Why blue silver game

Why

[alpine flare]

average chest fan

[lethal marsh]

heheha

[proven vector]

Are there 5 slot teams that will get 10 for chests plus one other item at 10?

[thorny beacon]

• nobody likes Ninjas except Silver
  lol

[proven vector]

Wanting to do something like 10/10/0/0 and 0/0/10/10 with my 5 slot teams

[alpine flare]

6 slot teams can barely do that so i think not

can definitely get close though

[tepid stone]

eh honestly I should maybe just get chests to 10 at all costs to make sure I can get max interactions every day

[viscid meteor]

dunno if anyone has mentioned it

but I've uploaded a new thing in pomatools

[frank thicket]

stdk, did you make pomatools?

[lethal marsh]

I don't have Steven. What other sync pair can I use instead of him?

[frank thicket]

[alpine flare]

hooly moly

[pastel swallow]

i like how u colour coded it gold silver and bronze lol

[deep tree]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/lodge/ ?

[viscid meteor]

yes

[frank thicket]

thank you stdk

[past dune]

I prefer this https://twitter.com/zamcio/status/1563512486350901248
that wait if you don't get a on topic thing you can choose the highest pts

[alpine flare]

even more readable than the serebii page thank you

[frank thicket]

🙇‍♂️

🐐

[alpine flare]

that one's a little small

can't read lol

[past dune]

oh I see the your is color coded

[viscid meteor]

That's nice. I'm just announcing what I made 😐

[past dune]

open image in new tab and zoom in 🤔

[alpine flare]

not very convenient

[viscid meteor]

I plan on making another options like grouping by interest level since the icons help to recognize the group

buuut that's for another time, I need to do other stuff... this is the minimal thing that works 🙂

hope it helps

[alpine flare]

i think this is good already, we can just eyeball the gold icons

thanks for all the tools, huge fan

[deep tree]

if those different levels can be separated by one line or something ... like
gold
silver
bronze

[viscid meteor]

I tried to, but makes the list too long

that's why I want to put a option to toggle between groupings

[alpine flare]

btw quick question, is pomatools open source?

[viscid meteor]

nope

[zealous osprey]

Hey StDk, just wondering, could you maybe make a something like a team planner for expedition?

[alpine flare]

i see, thanks

[viscid meteor]

that'd take a lot of time

I've been thinking on it too

[frank thicket]

thank you so much!!!

[viscid meteor]

but I'd require like 3-4 days to do it, and I don't have much free time 😦

[frank thicket]

take your time stdk, we will wait

[astral trench]

Tht interface looks so good

[frank thicket]

[viscid meteor]

this thing just took me a couple of hours

[zealous osprey]

Wow, that's already quite impressive! Thanks for you effort

[viscid meteor]

since I was thinking about it while playing pokemon go

[keen wolf]

This is also very useful ngl when we know the hot topic

[thorny beacon]

this is super cool!
totally ignorable nitpick that doesn't affect utility: sycamore & silver have their own names listed under "friends"...but as far as i know they don't come up as topics when you're talking to them (?) it'd be funny if they did though

[lethal marsh]

Should we max chest drops to buy more interactions?

[alpine flare]

that's my plan after getting 6 slots

[tepid stone]

this was my best run so far

[viscid meteor]

don't know... that's what the information said haha.. I just put the info from absol's table

[thorny beacon]

oh that's fair lol

[alpine flare]

they don't seem to appear on serebii's page

[pale marsh]

Ferris wheel

[viscid meteor]

I use absol's as reference

[thorny beacon]

(chatting with sycamore) and the next topic is...You

[alpine flare]

yeah, not sure why the difference

[thorny beacon]

actually he'd probably enjoy that, profs tend to like sharing their extremely niche research

[viscid meteor]

dunno, maybe Joe saw that Silver will never have "Silver" as option

[carmine pilot]

I already got 6 slots, but i'm farming everything but chests
Because rng is rng and i have to buy the interaction items i need
We need time to compare the two methods

[viscid meteor]

that'd be a good thing to report here haha

anyone doing Sycamore and Silver, try to see if themselves come in their own conversation

anyway, gotta hop out, have fun guys

[alpine flare]

i actually do not see it in sycamore either

[thorny beacon]

awesome tool btw, thanks again!

[viscid meteor]

look in the spreadsheets

[alpine flare]

oh, i am referring to the asbolutely pastebin https://pastebin.com/YtvfDagX

[hollow kiln]

Finally got my first slot

[viscid meteor]

yeah, maybe Serebii used that one

I used the latest thing absol made

[alpine flare]

i see

[viscid meteor]

its not like it'll affect if it doesnt appear anyway haha

[magic scaffold]

Is there a way for an interaction to not end early (like after only 3 topics)?

[thorny beacon]

it's "random" based on interest %

[tepid stone]

be lucky

[vestal kraken]

So yesterday I got cheer at the same time for both scouts. Today they were hours apart.

[thorny beacon]

yep, same

[carmine pilot]

Tried to soft reset while i got the delay animation
Never worked, did anyone succeed?

[alpine flare]

me neither

[thorny beacon]

you could attempt to prevent the trainer's interest from dropping by using one of the tools (the "dig it" shovel) that you can get from exchanging expedition resources...but even then it's based on luck once it drops below 100% lol

oh and i think "max vibes" = interest will not drop for the next two topics, so try to get that as well?

i assume this will get easier as we get more resources and can trade them in for the little tools and gifts

[carmine pilot]

I suspect that's kinda impossible then
We get items back if we leave during conversation, but that has nothing to do with resetting to prevent being kicked out

[alpine flare]

maybe frame perfect reaction time

[carmine pilot]

I was always tabbing after each talk

[magic scaffold]

Oh well. Gotta unlock the last slot first. So is it best to optimize for the 2 categories the expedition specializes in or is it better to just go all-in for chests?

[alpine flare]

i don't like relying on chests

[next junco]

you can always focus on chest and 1 color to get silver for the item ... You wont use them unless you dont get max vibe on first 3 topic.

[carmine pilot]

But, still, 3 days and i always get kicked out at high percentage
The lowest i got is nearly 60

[next junco]

dont see the point to buy gold item when they can quit on us anytime

[magic scaffold]

Once I get the 6th slot, I can do:
10-10-0-0 for Team A without any boosts.
0-0-10-9 for Team B with Rare boost.

[sick garnet]

chests are the only way to get green rarity stones right

[alpine flare]

correcto

[sick garnet]

aight thanks

[carmine pilot]

It changes nothing, you will always split resources.
That's why I want to collect data and compare it

Full farming vs full chest

But need at least one month each

[magic scaffold]

I just hate how most of the cache units debuff the other drop types.

[next junco]

focus on farming rare crystal with chest and the kind of crystal match our targeted trainer seem better

[next junco]

interesting

[magic scaffold]

I also wonder if the full drop tables for the rare caches have been datamined yet.

[next junco]

not for now i guess

[ivory forge]

mmm

[next junco]

[lucid steppe]

I got 90k coins

So gratz

[next junco]

Same

[magic scaffold]

Yeah, I haven't seen any 5-star power-ups or power-up tickets.

And can imagine their rates to be low.

[lean river]

I'm ok with anything but coin

[carmine pilot]

Yeah yesterday i went full chest and i just got scammed by manuals or other trash lol

[next junco]

well reality

Gosh i wish they remove coin

[carmine pilot]

My rng god died with johto units

[next junco]

Atleast i can use lv up manual... When coins is just

[hollow kiln]

That’s what I’m going for

[kind marlin]

Cache hunting

[carmine pilot]

That's quite nice comp
Thanks

[cold ferry]

I should have the sixth slot tomorrow

[ivory forge]

diesofcringe

[next junco]

i see someone do chest method

[magic scaffold]

Just waiting until reset before I pop in and see what my peeps have gotten.

[next junco]

the pain of gatcha addiction

I cant stop looking for new cache tho

[lethal marsh]

im waiting till tmr to see what they got

rn they got like over 30 caches

its so tempting

[next junco]

https://tenor.com/view/markiplier-math-markiplier-formula-problem-gif-13270065

Super human

You can resist the urge of 30 chest

[lethal marsh]

barely

[next junco]

That is from last reset till now?

[kind marlin]

Is there any benefit to letting chests stack up?

Or is it just for satisfaction?

[next junco]

Less pain when get coin

That all

[lethal marsh]

it looks more satisfying

[hollow kiln]

I want to see my cache team gather around 50

[lethal marsh]

mines at 3 and 22

[next junco]

bruh i will start saving cache as how i saving gem

[lethal marsh]

tmr i might have the next 2 slots 🙏

[next junco]

the moment when i get 100 scout ticket from 100 chest

https://tenor.com/view/captain-crunch-payday-gold-swimming-in-gold-friday-gif-13393306

[carmine pilot]

Same when we get one in the daily free scout

[next junco]

[carmine pilot]

The only thing i want report to dena is the awful elixir system.
24h is always a bad countdown, even small delays will stack and soon or later you'll not be able to properly refresh it. (That's why some gsmes use 22h stuff)

Just let us consume another to replace the current one

[lethal marsh]

continously interrupting this interaction

[next junco]

Does anyone know how many bronze we can farm between 2 reset if 2 team only has lv 1 on all

Wonder if it reach 1200 bronze

[gloomy bluff]

Has anyone tried to decode the secret language in the lodge?

If the first word on right is lodge

The last character is E and the first character of next word is e (read right to left)

[lucid steppe]

Trainer's Salon

From jp translation

[gloomy bluff]

Badass

[lucid steppe]

That's what I've heard anywyas

@gloomy bluff

So the E is actually an S

[gloomy bluff]

Makes sense

Yea, pokemon messages usually are 1:1 encryptions

Each character is represented only by one symbol

[sharp bramble]

Huh

I wonder if they're gonna use that for a quiz or something

[proven vector]

Yet another reason to lament that I don’t have Sonia yet

[kind marlin]

Don’t worry, the second team isn’t super optimised

It’s just cause I have cheer I didn’t bother making a better team

[blazing laurel]

Is there a difference in what the same team would get if it was in team a or team b?

Cause from the pinned doc thats what im understanding

[blazing laurel]

Ah i see

I failed to scroll more my bad. Thank you tho

[magic scaffold]

Some players just want all the treasure chests. Others optimize according to the team (and what they have available).

[north moat]

We do a combo of both.

Crystal team and then chest team.

[magic scaffold]

Hmm... how does that work? What's the setup?

[north moat]

I’ll send mine~

[cold ferry]

should get 6 slots tomorrow, where I would go for caches and fiery for blue (trainer)

[kind marlin]

I feel like after getting the slots the best use of expeditions is just to max the cache chance plus 1 other material

[north moat]

They’re a bit inconsistent, sorry.

I realized that as I sent them…

[marble hemlock]

Team A - 10/1/1/10
SS Lusamine + SS Giovanni + Masked Royal/SSR Cynthia + Nate + Marshal + Alder + omni

Team B - 10/1/1/10
Selene + Lusamine + Hau + Guzma + Plumeria + Kahili/Hapu + omni

[alpine flare]

[smoky wave]

man not having ss lusa or ss gio really hurts for cache teams

[north moat]

I don’t have SS Lusamine

[smoky wave]

my only +3 cache is masked royal

[alpine flare]

Same

[lucid steppe]

No +3 cache at all

[smoky wave]

[magic scaffold]

Yeah, I pretty much optimize according to the team.

[lucid steppe]

That's what being a 5 day player means

[sharp bramble]

oof

[smoky wave]

you'll get him eventually in tickets or random pulls at least hopefully

[magic scaffold]

Can't wait for slot 6 to be open so I can do 10-10-0-2 with rare boost for Team A and 0-0-10-9 for Team B with rare boost.

[smoky wave]

my teams, idk if I can make them any better

[glad acorn]

So this is our anni celebration

[pale marsh]

No Ingo smh

Fake fan

[lucid steppe]

Ingo is still in hisui

His bro lounging

Meanwhile ingo risking his life freezing on a mountain

[smoky wave]

PLS I need the red buffs he gives blue

[alpine flare]

Blue

[pale marsh]

how dare you separating both of them

[formal forge]

After max vibes, does the hot topic change or stay the same?

[alpine flare]

same

[formal forge]

Is it better to achieve max vibes immediately, or wait until a few interactions first?

[alpine flare]

it's not like you can choose

[noble locust]

Looking for some more opinions on building towards Cynthia/red crystal based chars - saving up 1000 gold red crystal for gift item doesn't seem that good compared to diversifying towards more interaction items

For now I went heavy rare chest because they seem too important to stack towards extra interactions per day

[rigid pilot]

Finally done

Let's gooooo

[cold ferry]

Project Slots is 90% Done

[covert pivot]

Well, I should get my last slot while I sleep. Pretty close to it but can't stay up longer.

Thinking I'm gonna start by running 10-Silver-Silver-0 and 10-0-0-"10" in order to hopefully get a lot of gold gifts, enough silver for those gifts maybe, and enough chests hopefully for daily interactions. I'll likely have to adjust a little bit though, maybe a bit more silver or chest. Pretty sure even 10-10 tho won't be enough for a gold every interaction anyways.

[cold ferry]

After Project Slots I move on to project Blue

[covert pivot]

Sadly no +3 chest means unsure if I can do +10 chest reliably, but prolly can.

[worldly ivy]

PLEASEEEEE THERE'S AN HOUR AND A HALF BEFORE RESET I CAN'T DO THISSSSS 😩😩😩

[cold ferry]

I wonder if their gonna add new team expansions like team c

[formal forge]

You could wait to pick the hot topic until 2-3 interactions in

[carmine pilot]

Why before reset?

[orchid glade]

I might get my first slot today if lucky with bronze

[formal forge]

You can only buy 3 additional interactions a day

[carmine pilot]

Yeah, if you got the mats

[orchid glade]

I always have the mats

[carmine pilot]

Chest hunting?

Noice

[cold ferry]

Other Account will completes slots by tomorrow as well I think

[orchid glade]

yes one chest since start

[deep tree]

when will they add agatha and oak to trainer lodge

[alpine flare]

Hot topic does not guarantee the max vibe immediately , plus rng of what topics are even available

[orchid glade]

just now I hit the hot but no vibe and didn't get the same topic again

[alpine flare]

Exactly

[carmine pilot]

Using Glasses Shovel and Ring i always got the max vibe
I think Juice isn't worth

Plus Cynthia gave me one ring for free today

[rigid pilot]

OK after farming for slots

What do you farm in lodge?

[deep tree]

cache & material for multipliers ...

[cold ferry]

The interaction stuff that why you get slots to do that

[deep tree]

interaction stuff drop from cache only

?

[next junco]

Rare crystal

[orchid glade]

he means glasses etc

not 3 a day one

[deep tree]

stone not crystal!

[alpine flare]

Bruh who remembers all these names lol

[cold ferry]

you can also get level cap items but very expensive

and coins

[next junco]

My best pick on team ... Too hard

[rigid pilot]

So how's these setups?

[worldly ivy]

got both my teams on 10 cache, soothing stone PLEASE,

[cold ferry]

with all slots go to focus on one trainer, have max or high of the stone of the pair like fiery for blue, high or max cache, and medium level of the other 2 stones for glasses and such

[next junco]

Does anyone has both chest 10 and may be high blue lv ?

[cold ferry]

that would be my strat

whats the highest level gain today

[winter galleon]

is there a set up for 0/10/0/10? i think i'll just go for max red and max chest + max blue and max chest since im going for rosa next anyway

[worldly ivy]

I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THESE LITTLE RED GUYS

[shrewd gorge]

Ooof you have over an hour hopefully you get one more

This is my claim to fame of the day

Got super duper lucky

[worldly ivy]

wait wait wait entertain my tinfoil hat conspiracy theory for a quick second but

I wonder if the super rare crystal drops rates depend on which trainer ur focusing on

[rigid pilot]

How can they even know

[worldly ivy]

there's literally a level system

[shrewd gorge]

Random question but, what do you guys think the optimal loadout is after all three slots are unlocked?

[worldly ivy]

like..... my friendship level is super high with silver whos gifts use the red ones, and I have a ton of those. I have a bit of friendship on Rosa thanks to the tutorial and her gifts use the blue ones, and I have a bit more of those. But then the yellow crystals tend to avoid me, and I haven't done any interactions with charas who use the yellow. Like idk I may be reaching but....................

[fierce mica]

ur rng sucks that's all

[worldly ivy]

😌 that's more likely but I'm holding onto this conspiracy theory until proven otherwise 😌 rates aren't listed in game so

[vale kettle]

best girl fight me

[swift vine]

I wonder if i should buy everything here

[next junco]

i willingly surrender

Does any Galar unit has +2 blue?

[sharp bramble]

Buy the interaction items yeah

But only after you buy the expansion slots

[verbal prairie]

for the Rare Cache rewards based on Discovery Level, the graphic seems to imply that the reward is the same for LEvels 7-10 (ie, one of each chest). So what is the advantage of being at level 10?

[keen wolf]

I leveled Blue up which use red crystal

[next junco]

more chance for gold chest to appear and overall appearance ... I assume

[verbal prairie]

Is this stated or confirmed anywhere? I guess it makes sense but how do we know?

[next junco]

High lv crystal spawn crystal more consistently per minute... As you can see with lv1 crystal they highly wont spawn

[next junco]

Not confirmed

[winter galleon]

i dont think theres ever been a confirmation but i had 15 chests on level 10 and 1 chest on level 9 earlier

[hardy flare]

Any suggestions for a fourth member for each team? I just gained one slot!

[verbal prairie]

awesome, thanks!

[next junco]

Ah confirm there

[past dune]

I mean obviously higher lvl is better

:v

[next junco]

[next junco]

You should max both team go on lv 10 crystal hunt tho

It only take 2-3 day to get all slot i assume your silver and gold is 0

After free 2 slot that is when we optimize

[hardy flare]

It's like this atm, might obtain silver today

[next junco]

oh might be long

[hardy flare]

Done 😄 I've picked Nanu for the moment for the crystal team

[next junco]

[hardy flare]

Yeah, silver seems good, but gold though

[next junco]

Never go half way

Go max 10 for me

[worldly ivy]

[distant ember]

at 5/6 waiting on lvl 10 caches to give me enough gold yellow crystals lol

almost there

[orchid glade]

I am close to getting one slot if I can get the bronze I need

[next junco]

still 3 slot

You go all for chest then

[faint plank]

interaction stopped at 91%, how

[void lintel]

You hit the 9% failure chance

[next junco]

No charismatic

[void lintel]

It had to happen to someone eventually

[next junco]

[void lintel]

...Hell, about one in 11 interactions would end in that point

[next junco]

Better buy 1 or 2 gift in case you dont hit max vibe in first 3 topic

[alpine flare]

My finalized teams

[cold ferry]

im very close to finished yellow part of the gold and will probably finish all slots tomorrow morning

[void lintel]

Wonder what the drop distribution is on those... But I imagine so does everyone else

[next junco]

Ready for Nita and all other BP trainer expedition skill

[void lintel]

Well, Player+ ...Mespirit, is that? has no expedition skill

Because the player can't go.

[next junco]

Yes

[void lintel]

Nita, though

That's gonna be +2 Rare

[next junco]

and no use in future event tho

[next junco]

hopefully

[void lintel]

What do you mean "hopefully"

She's a Battle Facility Foe

[next junco]

Make Samurrot guys alive

[void lintel]

That's +2 Rare (or +3 for R-Cynthia and Masked Royal)

[hard badger]

More Kalos is always good for expedition

[next junco]

Confirmed?

On game press?

[void lintel]

Do me a favor and filter your expedition roster for Battle Facility Foes

And tell me what they all have in common

Only Leon doesn't have +2 Rare because he's a Champion

[next junco]

cant tell till last moment

[void lintel]

Janine's a Gym Leader so she'll have a +1/+1 spread. She's a Support, I think, so one of those +1s will be Wistful

[next junco]

That bad

+1 / +1 kinda useless tho

[orchid glade]

First account to get a slot

[void lintel]

Candice is a Gym Leader too, so her Frosslass will also give her +1/+1. She's a Striker, so one of those will be Fiery

[next junco]

[next junco]

Lot more easier with 4 slot

[void lintel]

Sophocles is a Trial Giver, so he'll have +3/-1. He's a Striker so the +3 will be Fiery

Clemont is a Gym Leader. Support.

[lucid steppe]

What's the logic behind people like lussamine and mask royal

Alola?

[void lintel]

No

[lucid steppe]

For +3 cache

[void lintel]

LuSSamine has Rare because she is Villain
Masked Royal has Rare beacuse he is Battle Facility Foe

I have no idea why they have +3 instead of +2

Ash and Red are Main Characters
Ash is Striker, Red is Tech
So unless they will get something special (which they might), they'll have +2 Fiery and +2 Soothing respectively

[next junco]

Oh tech yellow, striker red and support blue now i see

[void lintel]

Aura Cynthia is a Champion Support. So unless she gets something special, she'll have +3 Wistful and -1 of something else

[lucid steppe]

The -1 is random huh

[next junco]

[void lintel]

Costume Rosa is a Main Character Tech. +2 Soothing

[void lintel]

Bonuses always match class role. Penalties never match class role.

Naomi is a typeless Striker. +2 Fiery

[orchid glade]

surprisingly didn't take long doing one color and cache

[next junco]

Oh what about Gloria

+2 rare chest tho

[void lintel]

Basically...

Champion: +3/-1
Elite Four: +3/-1
Trial Giver: +3/-1
Gym Leader: +1/+1
Battle Facility Foe: +Rare
Villain: +Rare
Rival: +Rare (exceptions if they overlap with the types above)
Main Character or Typeless: +2/-0

Hala is a Trial Giver but has a +1/+1 spread and I have no idea why.

[void lintel]

I don't have her. She's a Main Character Striker though

So my first guess is +2 Fiery

[cold ferry]

we need a region fliter

[next junco]

• 0-2 rare chest

[void lintel]

I use region filtering all the time when I form my expedition teams

[void lintel]

Region-match bonuses are scattered around, mostly on Main Characters but sometimes on others. This overrides whatever they would've had

e.g. Cynthia and Steven are Champions so they'd normally have +3/-1, but they have region-match bonuses instead

[next junco]

weird

[void lintel]

Sycamore's typeless and he has a region-match

I think Lillie's also typeless

And then there's Morty.

Morty's... kind of mundane compared to all these main characters and story-crucial characters getting region-match

Anyway, Hoenn has several characters that fall under Villain, Rival, and Battle Facility Foe, so it's comically easy to stack Rare there

My Hoenn team is Steven (+6 Fiery), May (+4 Soothing), and four characters with +2 Rare and -2 Wistful (Archie, Maxie, Noland, and I think Wally)

With Omni on Team A, that's +8 Fiery, +6 Soothing, +1 Wistful, and +9 Rare

...Add Cheer and that's +9/+7/+2/+10

[next junco]

hoenn only has May

[orchid glade]

my other accounts are close to slots so will be today

[void lintel]

Hm?

[next junco]

Ah Steven

[void lintel]

Blue's famous for being the first rival, but his standard-outfit sync pairs (Pidgeot, Exeggutor, Arcanine) all use a Champion spread instead

Alola is amazing for stacking teams; it has an Elite Four and several Trial Captains to give +3/-1s

Galar is kind of terrible for stacking teams since it doesn't have an Elite Four at all

Leon's the only guy who can have a +3/-1 there

(Alola doesn't have an official Champion, but... so many Trial Captains!)

(Hau is a Rival and Kukui is typeless)

[urban flicker]

Ash has fiery 2 as expedition skill

[void lintel]

As predicted, then

...I did kind of expect him to have something special, but...

[lethal marsh]

time to make Ash do labor

[rigid pilot]

Ash Is just fiery 2

[glad acorn]

Region buff needs more 4 if 3x to push it

[ornate latch]

My best interaction yet

[fickle fox]

finally hit 20

[cold ferry]

new mission, you need to interact for the daily mission and not talk to a trainer in the pokemon center

[worldly ivy]

Silver gave me an item and then????? Why is it so zoomed in 😭 😭 😭

[crisp hornet]

qo this is how those things works

[crisp hornet]

Congrats on both of those

[rigid pilot]

Ash is more of if ppl don't know his expedition stats

But yes may trust

[glad acorn]

Nita is similar to her sister

[winter galleon]

I got all the slots, is it smart to just do two cache teams now?

[rigid pilot]

I would at least farm some mats

Cause u still need it for shovels and what not

[raw hare]

Nooo... I messed up my 3 interactions

accidentally click

[winter galleon]

Yeah im doing this

Though I might run out of soothing for the items

[vernal shadow]

what fuck rng

[vernal shadow]

after 3 interactions it ends

when do i give my present then

first thing?

[visual remnant]

Bruh this Blue took all my gifts, every topic out of Max Vibes was hot topic, and still left at 92%

Screw this guy man

[vernal shadow]

Lillie was that for me

[visual remnant]

I also tried to reset once I felt that pause, but it counted anyway

[warm plank]

81%… left… i used all 6 interactions

Welp-

[fierce mica]

should've used the shovel

[magic scaffold]

Almost there!

[warm plank]

Ady, 6 shovel + 6 glasses

[fierce mica]

well aint that sad

[next junco]

Worth it

[warm plank]

Yup, rng…

[vernal shadow]

[pastel swallow]

they added interaction as condition to get daily gems lol

[random nexus]

||"Salamence, use Dragon Claw!"" proceeds to slap with its tail||

[next junco]

Shovel sound suck

i used 3 of them and got quit as 80 like usual

Gift is better

[pastel swallow]

yea shovel sux

dont waste your resources on those

[reef cargo]

feel ring and glasses prob the best

[pastel swallow]

yup

[reef cargo]

other than the normal present ofc

[pastel swallow]

i wished absol has rng rate mined for max vibes (without using juice)

[reef cargo]

managed a 200+ score finally

[pastel swallow]

1 point diff lol

[next junco]

How

[pastel swallow]

i used 3 interactions at one go

[crisp hornet]

daaaang

[pastel swallow]

thats why x3

[next junco]

Ah

[crisp hornet]

Also using 3 interactions results in needing 3 gifts total

[pastel swallow]

yea

[crisp hornet]

I wpd've liked to learn that earlier

[pastel swallow]

u cant chain max vibes

so best to get it as early as possible

even if the answer is shit but matches hot topic

[reef cargo]

i got my max vibes near the end

and the amount of points seemed higher

it was like +42

instead of the usual 20 or 24

[pastel swallow]

oh yea maybe cos of excitemnet building

but theres also risk

[reef cargo]

yeah it just happened that my hot topic just didnt want to appear

until that point

[solemn oar]

Unless i’m wrong it seems the best way to optimize this is max exploration slots asap, then optimize the crystal farming to then grab as many gifts as possible since those give a huge multiplier bonus when used, and then you can apply that to speed up levels for each unit.

This is basically now like all those old mobile games with a timed item based search/explore system in it lol

[pastel swallow]

yea but u dont wanna miss rare chest otw tho

i got faster accumulating slots cos of that

[vernal shadow]

how do you get multiplication interaction multiplier above 1

[drowsy pollen]

oh i love how it sets the snapshot on your console page once you unlock one

[blazing sapphire]

Go team!

[raw hare]

I made a mistake on using all 3 interactions... all cuz misclick

[odd cove]

Is there a significant downside to using all 3 interactions?

I haven't tried it yet but it feels like a way to save items

[raw hare]

The risk is you might got a very low score

It is better to.... use one at a time

[odd cove]

Hm

Alright

[raw hare]

The advantage is..... you use one gift on a 3 interactions

[visual remnant]

no, you need a gift for every interaction

using all 3 interactions at once requires 3 gifts

[odd cove]

Lol

[raw hare]

Oh??

Mann....

Why do I... Misclick

[visual remnant]

using all is basically going all in, like gambling lol

if you roll high, that's a 3x

but if you roll low...

[rigid pilot]

No reason to use all 3

[raw hare]

I tapped 'all interaction' by mistake okay.... Next time.... I will be extra careful

[rigid pilot]

Payout is the same

Yet much riskier

[visual remnant]

yeah

[odd cove]

I heard the chances of the convo ending early also decreases the more you increase friendship level?

[visual remnant]

I don't know

[odd cove]

So it does seem like a better idea, at least early on, to do 1 by 1 so you gain friendship exp as you go

[raw hare]

Yeah.. The chances of ending early if you get topic which is 'interesting' and 'exciting' in all 3

[glad acorn]

Think of all interactions as the skip button for those who don't care

[pastel swallow]

u sure?

or is it just guess

[raw hare]

I pretty sure...

[visual remnant]

the attention is the % of continuing the conversation

interesting = 5 points
excitement building = 7 points
super exciting = 10 points

also, has anyone gotten more than 1 Max Vibes in a single interaction?

[raw hare]

Not yet

I believe it's possible

[visual remnant]

well even with Boost Juice and constantly selecting Hot Topics past the first Max Vibes, I haven't gotten a 2nd Max Vibes

so either Boost Juice has an inaccurate description (only guarantees the first Max Vibes), or you can only get 1 Max Vibe per interaction

[thick widget]

My best is 20% attention left. No max vibes activied tho.

[orchid glade]

Got first slot on other reroll now

[thick widget]

Idk how to trigger Max Vibes early

It seems random right?

[visual remnant]

with items and resetting you can get it first turn

[blazing sapphire]

Always happens very early for me

Resetting???

[visual remnant]

yep

[raw hare]

Gift can reset topic

[thick widget]

[visual remnant]

as in close your game

[blazing sapphire]

Oh gift

[visual remnant]

and retry

it refunds everything

[raw hare]

Wait... Close the game??

[visual remnant]

as long as the convo didn't end

[blazing sapphire]

That works? Until what point?

[thick widget]

[visual remnant]

until the little pause and he stops talking to you

once the pause happens, it's over

so not possible to reset just before convo ends (I think)

but anytime before that happens is ok

[glad acorn]

So anyone manage to "reset" an interaction?

[visual remnant]

can reset for good start/first few topics

[glad acorn]

Oh, they change?

[visual remnant]

yep

Hot Topic changes too

Without SSR Cynthia i cant get to lvl 10 on rare caches without getting lvl 10 on yellow thingy

[sharp bramble]

Oh goddammit

I need 5/5 in order to get the final border

[marble hemlock]

you can try this team for 10 yellow + 10 caches:

Team A - 1/10/1/10
SS Leaf + SS Misty + SS Erika + James + Lorelei + Masked Royal + omni

[jovial moon]

whats omni

[thick widget]

Tyvm, will try when I unlock the 6th slot

[marble hemlock]

the omni extract that gives +1 all

Items review:

Insight Specs = pretty good, cheap and very useful so you're not wasting topics blindly guessing (may not be needed past a certain friendship level point and/or if you wanna rely on free RNG reveal)

Boost Juice = lame, only seems to guarantee 1 instant Max Vibes per interaction, does not seem to work past 1st Max Vibes, just get a Feel Ring instead

Dig-It Shovel = not really impactful imo, but it's not too expensive and gives you just a little bit more chance to continue talking, so might as well pick it up

Feel Ring = decent, getting more Hot Topics means you're likely to get Max Vibes most of the time, and more Hot Topics means less attention drops, although I have yet to determine if picking a 5/7pt Hot Topic is better than a 10pt regular topic

[blazing sapphire]

Thanks. I’ve just been using all 4.

[urban flicker]

I'd say the one that just cost Bronze crystal you can get them always

because you get so many bronze crystal either way

[sonic stream]

Just got 211 x 1.1, so 232 on an interaction

[urban flicker]

I have so many bronze crystal right now

[visual remnant]

yeah that's the glasses and shovel, I recommend those too

[urban flicker]

But I'd say the same can be said for the Ring and boost juice

[sonic stream]

Can you only use 1 per interaction @visual remnant

[urban flicker]

what are you gonna use the silver crystal for after getting the Expedition slots

[plain nova]

237

[glad acorn]

So marnie gave me one for a daily

[visual remnant]

Ring is ok, but Juice is only maybe useful if you don't have Ring and are risk averse

[urban flicker]

This is even more reason to not spend your resource to get them from the shop

[visual remnant]

unless you really have an excess

[orchid glade]

Main account now got first slot might get more today

[visual remnant]

for now my resources aren't much so I'm gonna skip Juice

[visual remnant]

1 of what per interaction?

[visual remnant]

like I'd rather spend my silver crystals on gifts at this point, those are way more impactful

[sonic stream]

Only 1 of shovel or lens

[jade trout]

Noticed today that they changed the talk to a trainer task to interact in the lodge

[thick widget]

Also trainers in poke center dont give items anymore

[visual remnant]

no you can use all 4 of them at once

[thick widget]

Trainers in lodge do that instead

[visual remnant]

they still do

I just got a Skip Ticket

[thick widget]

Really? No one in pokecenter gives me anything

[visual remnant]

it doesn't always appear immediately

even prior to Lodge

[gentle eagle]

I got a shovel as a gift on the first day

[thick widget]

It always appeared after I finish a random battle then go back to the center

[gentle eagle]

Later found out its a 5% chance

[lyric storm]

Is it better to pick hobbies topic or super exciting topic ?

[analog furnace]

You mean hot topic or super exciting topic?

[lyric storm]

yes sorry

[analog furnace]

Max vibes is pretty good to have from the hot topic when you can go for it

So I imagine the hot topic?

[urban flicker]

6 slots finally

[analog furnace]

Once you’ve hit max vibes, yeah, go for all the super exciting ones

[lyric storm]

Yeah I already got max vibes ! Thanks that's what I was wondering

[wide sorrel]

I think max vibes guarantee 3 10 point topics

So it doesn’t matter what you pick

[visual remnant]

Max Vibes only doubles the base points of the topic

it doesn't make them all 10pt base

[urban flicker]

By the way

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/lodge/

Pomatools added a Trainer Lodge section

[wide sorrel]

Then maybe I just got lucky then?? The only time I was testing I got 6 super exciting topics…

[urban flicker]

with the correct answers for every trainer

[visual remnant]

yeah you got lucky

[wide sorrel]

That Fck me over then

[visual remnant]

I've gotten quite a few Max Vibes where all the options were 5 pts

[wide sorrel]

I stop checking the topic once I hit max vibe after that

[visual remnant]

oof

[lucid steppe]

Lodge'd, I need blue golds

[worldly fjord]

Partner Pokémon being an other topic instead of Pokémon topic, must have been an oversight

[lucid steppe]

[clear beacon]

Some nice cropping

[nocturne aurora]

i can't believe Rosa picked Fashion for me 2 days in row despite being her most awful topic to have

it has litteraly no proposals

[crisp hornet]

By the way...

What's better to choose ?

a 7pt answer on topic

a 10pts off topic ?

[urban flicker]

the 7pt answer hot topic

to have a change to trigger max vibes

[crisp hornet]

Does hot tppic double points ?

[urban flicker]

yes

[crisp hornet]

Alright

[visual remnant]

Hot Topic by itself does not double points

that's Max Vibes
