#Trainer Lodge
1 messages · Page 23 of 1
Do we even know whose coming 🤔? besides the obvious like Cynthia and Lucario today
rosa?
no, they haven't said anything about a new batch of trainers
I assume it's just base trainers coming to lodge
trainers or only images ...?
like regular outfit
the scrapbook pics for those alts are in the game, that's about it
I thought there was either a mine or reveal of 7 more trainers coming soon or something
shouldve been an alt for renegade Cynthia fr fr
all a dream bud
Lillie just dropped on 3rd topic at 89%
i hate everything
that moment of panic when the topics don't refresh
you know it's over
Is 34 a "good" lvl after today's 6 interactions?
That’s about 1 per interaction a day
So yeah
I’m at 37
Think there’s some people mid 40s
Haven’t seen a 50 but could be out there
Yea most of us had no idea what to do the first couple days
skill issues
😩
just change your in-game hair colour next time
@glad acorn is 10/10/1/1 require more than omni to achieve? I have 2 teams both 10/9/1/1 after omni
Yes I am near 39
So will be 40 tomorrow
I got dropped by blue after max vibes was over
Yes same with Rosa was annoying
dumped
I thought Rosa liked me
Are there any optimum expedition team comps lists to refer to?

pins
👍
should be very feasible
but I really need to change the resource gathering teams, I simply can't keep up with the rate she eats items at
are those teams that u only need omni extract for both ?
also im never getting that better frame https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/298804876207718401/1014225699478974584/Screenshot_2022-08-30-19-22-51-604_com.dena.a12026418.jpg?width=220&height=489
they gave people a "reason" to 5/5 their faves
Can't remember I will check
not going for 2 chest teams Eevee?
because u also have Cheers up there on both
i didn't get a cheer on one of my team for 2 days now 
yes ty, but your Rare Cache isn't 10
aww, that Sinnoh team is nice, too bad I can't
Ye but if you got another +3 unit with cache use it instead
looking for chest + blue and chest + yellow teams, since none of the chars I want to raise are strikers and I should get enough mats for the general gifts from chests
Dumped after max vibes was over again
Not like I noticed much difference between 9 and 10 anyway
Chest + Yellow can be done via Hoenn, I think
oh nice
May, with the comical number of +Rare/-Blue characters in Hoenn
Do I choose the hot topic during max vibes or highest point topics?
dont we have the exact rates datamined? lemme go through these pastebins
Tier3 stones gain a bit over a 40% more income at Lv10 than Lv9, huh... 
does the cheer chance increase with number of characters on an expedition?
I know there is lots of luck involved in getting levels, but can we celebrate the fact we can get about 40 5star tickets per month plus 2 of each candy coin, plus like 60 scout tickets from Trainer Lodge? Way more generous than I expected
1200 middle tier stones... still not enough for 6 gifts + items
https://pastebin.com/AJhPVFvg
This is expedition drop rate
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
also we need to max out characters one by one right ? so untill we reached friendship lvl100 then go on to another character?
or just max them all together ? lol
You can split up, you'd just rather wait until Lv30 on your first one before you diverge
ooh
Minmaxing you would probably swap between two with different class
Daily lodge gift pool is dependent on the friendship level of the most recent person you interacted with
So get one to Lv30 (best reward pool), then just make sure you Interact with them last each day
interacted as in clicked on them, right?
No. Used an Interaction
@sterile goblet that is drops per minute? And what is odds of each thing within a rare chest?
I think that info might be in one of the pinned links
I think that's per minute
rare chest drops: https://pastebin.com/kcDAuih5
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
yeah it's in pins
I'd start talking to May but she always talks about Brendan, I'd rather invite him and talk to him myself
This is per day. You can see it's labeled "Expexted Daily Outcome"
wait, after friendship level 30 you can get coins and stuff
yeah, someone here said that 10 in Blue and Rare is the hardest team comp (assuming omni-boost but no cheer). Im trying all possibilites to get X/X/9/9 but i'm stomped. best i came up with is X/X/8/9 with a team of Alola & Galar members
why oh why did i choose to focus on Rosa first? 
you and me
i was considering to swap to May (only tech I have) while still farming materials for Rosa
Eh, we all make that mistake, it's ok
i'm thinking as well (me to swap to Cynthia), but alas, might as well go all the way, as I am invested already in Rosa (and I like her enough)
The game does nudge you in the direction of Rosa after all
yeah, this Lodge is her redemption in this game. and i'm loving every bit of it
What redemption? She's always been great🤣
Which character? Rosa was an MVP back at launch
hahaha, yes of course! but DeNa kinda neglected her for a while
huh?
I think it's because her grid has only like one good thing on it (MPR on her gauge refill) and she needs hecking 5star candies to open the grid, plus her story involvement ended at the end of the PML arc with Lillie taking over as the new story mascot
Like the time she translated Red's "..." to a whole paragraph
Yeah, pretty much
oh story neglect lol
she's good for new players and I used her a ton when I first joined so she has a role, her not being super great currently is whatever
PML arc ended a full year ago (2nd anni)
shame the dialogue ends at lvl 30, it's only a few words cmon they could try harder
I'm pretty sure the Lodge's Chat dialogues for Lillie and Cynthia updated after I viewed their scenes
Rosa's did too
Since they referenced stuff discussed in said scenes
Cool, maybe all of them do then
the first dialogue is a regular pokemon center one
wonder if it will update without scenes at high enough friendship
Yeah, it was all regular Pokecenter dialogues until then
It does, yes
Really like Rosa’s second photo
although she left me 3 times today without triggering the max vibes
shame we didn't see the thing Rosa mentioned in her 2nd episode ||would love to see that Pokestar Studio photo, I wonder from which movie it was since if you do enough of them you are considered "famous" in the game, and she clearly isn't yet||
Yay got blue up to 40
So, after I get my final slot, which exchanges should I focus on? All of the interaction items + the gifts for the current trainer I'm grinding?
And do I gamble all interactions at once if I have all of the items?
10 blue 10 rare really is the hardest. It's either achieved with cheer, or with SS Kris AND SS Giovanni, so yeah 
That’s personal preference
I assume it only consumes 1 of each if you choose to spend all interactions, is that right?
No, it spends the same as the amount of interactions
9 blue 10 rare is reachable, 10 blue 9 rare is easier tho I think (I didn't try, but just removing any +3 chest alone helps a lot since all of them reduces blue by 2)
Oh, ok
is it available somewhere
ah i see, if I have a Lana replacement I can do it
+3 chest with no blue reduction Someday
I will actually pull for a sync pair if they have unique expedition skill, no joke
The War Games event (rerunning soon) implies that the Rosa/Sabrina film has already happened
With Sabrina cheekily commenting that she can't act... to Rosa's utter bafflement
Is 10 for a color needed for the best gift?
Reached my personal goal early today
all I ask for from my teams are 6*(glasses, shovel, ring), 9 of each kind of stones, 5 silver gifts and 1 golden gift. All of these are purely from today’s grind. Guess it’s consistent enough as I’m only running 1 lv10 cache.
missing Nate out of all people for a team, HOW
hope we get more spotlight units coming with these "1 per Region" or "4 if 3" passives
It helps a lot. You'll also need some Rare Cache drops for the tier4 stones
I think her sync pair story also talks about how she loved tp act in pokestar studio
You won't be able to afford more than one or maybe two per day though
Supplement them with lower-tier presents
Wonder if they plan to add Lodge pairs every month, or they will just give us one every now and then alongside an alt
I want them to add Red to the lodge
at least for Sycamore or Silver fans this kinda confirms they will get some alts for photos
Itd be really funny i think
If we talked with him without Leaf or Blue translating
Itd be great
Finally all my accounts got 6 slots
None was found in the datamines for September
We have the new grid pairs for September but not a lodge pair
So it probably won't be monthly
doing all 6 together mean that I use less items?
Nah, you still need 6 of each item you wish to use
You just do less interaction with your guest
and if I get bad session can I quit and try again?
without all the items getting burned
Depends on the timing. If it has already ended, then no
yeah before
Yeah of course
and can you give him 6 gifts?
ohhh
last question
I have that table of the +10 +7 +5 , what is better to go for? hot topic or +10 answer?
My strat is to go for as much +10s as possible, although others might disagree
Oh and try to trigger the max vibe thing by around 4th topic
oh ok
So uh for this, do I have to have OG Cynthia first? Or????
Just a frame
No, you just need 5/5 move level
Forgot the weezing
Rip I ain’t candying her to 5/5 just for a frame at least not yet (I also don’t even have support candies atm used them on SS Morty)
Yeah it’s not really worth it unless you really really like her
Typically 3/5 is enough
Do we have the next Lodge banner?
After getting a feel for this Interaction thing a bit, imo
5/7pt Hot Topic > 10 normal topic
Halving attention drops is pretty massive especially as the convo goes on, significantly improving your chances of continuing the convo = get more points
If you get to continue, you get at minimum extra 5 points + streak bonus
If you don't, that's only a 5/3 point loss
I'd say the trade off is worth the risk
Also good to note that friendship levels all take the same amount of XP so far, 100pts each
I think it's fair to say you can get at least 100pts per Interaction on average, and you can easily buy out all 3 extra Interactions per day
So total is like 600pts a day
Which would mean you'd take around 16/17 days to Level 100 a friend
Not including gifts and getting lucky which would speed it up quite a bit
Which is not a bad pace at all
2 questions
- strategy for finding a hot topic?
- How do i unlock more locations
I suck at this
use the lens, it reveals it at the beginning
raise friendship level
I am really enjoying the expeditions
Getting chests gives me the same anticipation that pulling multis does
But I’m not actually spending any gems to do so
Each level-up still gets you 10 Lodge Stones
And you can trade those for more Certificates of Excellence (for raising the EXP level cap from Lv140 to Lv150)
Only if you have supplies to support the extra conversation
i do
pretty much mandatory if you want faster leveling
Then do it. That's the primary purpose for tier4 stones
With enough treasure chest levels, you can get all three of those per day
For 6 conversations per day
kk cool
im farming for 6th expedition team slot rn then i’m gonna switch to chest farming
I think there might be some recommended team builds in the pins for this channel
Doesn't seem like so
The goal is to decide what balance of materials you want to be able to gather
From there you then use the material to raise friendship and get rewards
My current plan is 5 on each of the three colours, with 9 on both chests (without chest boost, it would be 7 and 9)
Didn’t max out the chests so that there was room for cheer
There are some solid 5-slot teams in the pinned google doc
Be better
Omg hi 🦑
free 5 star pair for me
Well that's a nice chest
which of these is best? for overall friendship gain.
i got a similar one today! i think, i can't remember.
The glasses and boost juice
The glasses will tell you what the hot topic is and the boost juice guarantees max vibes when you choose a hot topic
No you can use all of them
These are interaction items, different from gifts
Seem like it is possible to have 1 gold gift per day i just brought 1 yesterday and almost get 1 today

should i use both in one interaction?
Yes
Because the benefits help each other
You'll get full milage of max vibes with this
Though, I would actually recommend using all 4 items if you can afford it
It's not bad at all if you have balanced farming
I get them just fine too
6 per day?
Well not 6
But I do get 6 of all the interaction items
And about 4 silver gifts
I use 1 gold gift and 1 bronze gift
4 item sound nice
It's good to not take the risks by having all 4
Can still quit at 90% tho 
The chests give you good extra items anyway
I don't think the juice is necessary but the other 3 is definitely big
Exactly my point
No, the juice is the most important one
really? 🤔
Exactly, it's the most important one for optimum strategy
First 2 turns, don't pick max vibe prompts, 3rd turn pick it, immediately go into max vibes
yea but doing hot topic convos for half attention drop is pretty important and juice guarantees it on first hot topic so the potential to save it till really valuable is hard
It's mostly because they can dip as early as 90% anyway
And hot topic prompts don't disappear after the max vibe anyway
I don't like the limit of getting points on the first two topics I suppose
If you do the max vibe early, you ensure that you get a lot of points without the attention dropping, preventing them from leaving for the first 5 turns
If you don't use the boost juice, you still have a chance for them to dip at turn 4 even if it's a hot topic
That's why using the boost juice is so important
Getting max vibes immediately after the first 2 turns makes sure that you get lots of points in case of an early dip
Heck even with this strat, there's still a chance for them to dip right after the max vibe
The boost juice is definitely the most important one, alongside the glasses
They both go hand in hand
make sure to use 1 with gold gift
I can say i can afford 6 glass, 6 shovel, 6 juice, 5 silver gift + 1 gold gift per day tho
seem like finally i can have the best strategy
That'd be me if I drop the feel ring
1 gold per day ? That's very RNG no ?
Not really no
I dont find it nessesary
No 2 team 1 color tho
I have max chest and red in both teams and can't afford a gold a day
Well depends on the team comp you have for expedition
i dunno but i buy gold like 3 day now
I have 7 and 10 chest teams and I 've been able to get them fine
Chest cover silver crystal with 2 others if you only need juice and small speed up on gold
With having a red max and the average you'd get in chests, it gets to 1000 easily
It's only if you get very bad luck that you won't get it
Like maybe the bottom 25% rng
Or even less
I have enough back up silver gift so miss 1 gold day is ok

Cant wait to get 10lv today

Actually maybe this is actually 40 or 35% bottom rng
My point still stands though, it's pretty common to get them every day
Yeah if you go for blue this is the rate
If you can only have 9 and 7 blue max like m
For 2 lv 10 red i think gold is guaranteer

And I only have one max red, so it's only 720 for me
So I don't really get why you're not getting the gold gifts as easily
suck to grind for blue then
The real deficiency is probably the rare stones, which in that case, it's quite unlucky
I don't think I bough a gold today, tho i'm missing like 40 gold to buy it
But I am grinding for Blue
i have rare stone enough for like 5 reset now
Then you should be able to buy one soon, and try to see if you can get one tomorrow
Or next reset
Cuz 2 max 10 reds means that you'll most likely have enough for it
Nah you will have more rare stone than anything if you go double chest
if i buy interactions in the can i store them indefinitely for the future or no
I just have double chest and go from 1.1x gift and 1.3 gift currently since same crystal color but in future when raising multiple I can always buy 1.3
I think it's big waste to throw away chest for 1.5x think of all the potential rewards!
You can hold up to 10
oh okay
but yes you can store 10 indefinitely
tyty
If im leveling Cynthia, which items shoiuld i exchange for?
i dont know wat to get from the lodge exchanger
?
any help? pls
can you only get max vibes once per interaction?

LOL
Yes
Oh lol, I'm very distracted, sorry
Every day:
3x Interaction Refresh
6x Glasses, Shovel and Ring
6x Present (any tier)
Is it even possible to buy 3 interactions? I don't seem to be earning enough crystals to keep up with that
yea, 1st day you gotta get lucky but eventually you stockpile the necessary crystals
atleast with two 10chest teams in my experience
Easily.
I have like 35 of each waiting for tomorrow already
So I need both teams with 10 lvl chest or else?
One is theoretically enough
after y'all hit lvl 40 (when both stories and pictures are unlocked), are y'all still going 100% in on the chara u intially chose, or are y'all splitting focus between 2 charas or even just switching charas entirely????
I gonna go 100% for the pair and also for the free stuffs in the milestones like move coins and certificates
I'm nly here for sync pairs. Need level 100 for gastrodon!
But then... Either Feraligatr or Exeggcutor
The grind is real
Level 37 already.
At this rate probably around 12-16 days per sync pair
am almost at 40 on silver and wondering if I should focus on him more to see if any lines or w/e change with higher levels and to grab the rewards, or if I should start splitting between blue so I can still get a steady stream of trainer content
And I have spare materials to make the grind easier. The first 3 days I had nothing, was focussed on the extra party slots
Hmm, ok, that's not too bad, gotta start using those items more consistently then
Exeggcutor at level 100 is a good sync pair.
But if you only care about the trainer stuff I guess you can stop
yeah I wasn't able to buy all 3 extra interactions before and wasn't buying the items to help interactions, now I regularly have presents and all 4 of the items that give a little extra help to ur interactions
I think they'll cycle through the regions when adding a new lodge pair. I think the next one will be Misty from Kanto then Ethan from Johto Steven from Hoenn skip Sinnoh C Iris from Unov a Calem from Kalos Kukui from Alola and Leon from Galar
I can barely buy one, how to buy 3?
Do you have your expedition teams fully unlocked?
Get lvl 1 on everything (automatic with omni boost) and the low rarity items will be easy
Yes
Just set up one Cache team. Of course, this can be difficult for new players
Does kalos has any +3 blue support?
I don't think the silver items are necessary but the bronze are cheap and helpful
And do you mean 6 of each or 6 total?
yeah both my teams are like lvl 8-10 cache so I can get a steady stream of stuff for unlocking extra interactions
Can you build this team? If no SS Lusamine, just use her default one
+3 is for E4 or trial givers, so no
6 each for the items
What are this teams for?

Alright
You want teams, and I showed them?
Whats the best way to get the 3 interactions?
And what’s the better way to make the best out of an interaction?
Best*
That kalos team looks f2p friendly, most people got serena and clemont especially when kalos region tix only have both of them 
Look, you need to explain yourself more. You're sounding like a troll
I’m not trolling sorry, English is not my first language
I just want to know how to get the best out of the lodge
We need a team of this to get 3 interactions at minimum
learn what topics the characters like (first link on pins). use items to maximize your points. as for the attention rate and when the interaction ends, that is purely RNG
Not May dumping me right after max vibes at 76% today, smh
Oh guys i want to ask, i always use single interaction but i want to try using all 6 interactions at once today...my question is does it need 6xitems or i can get by with only 1 item like 1 feel ring, boost juice and so on for 1 session?
I got one of those
It's extremely flexible too. If you get a cheer, just switch out Korrina for Siebold for 6-10-10-2
think it's alright enough
I used that today and got 2 extra interactions
6 items. Think of it like 6 interactions compiled as one
Thanks
i guess i gonna back to interact one at a time, more safe i guess if the conversation suddenly cut off
You get like a half the amount you would get compared to 10
Do you do all interactions at once? Or one each?
27 vs 44 expected chests iirc
One at a time
Daily estimated chest (Leftmost for lower tier)
Level 7 - 15 + 9 + 2 = 26
Level 8 - 17 + 11 + 4 = 32
Level 9 - 19 + 13 + 5 = 37
Level 10 - 22 + 15 + 7 = 44
Yeah, it's close to half the total of Level 10 
So I’m supposed to get 44 chests a day if I have a team with a level 10 chest?
Estimated. You can get slightly less and sometimes more
well i have to get guarantee 1 gold gift per day so need to exchange for it
What happens if a trainer is cheering?
Beside it is lv 9 and lv 7 
Another stack of omni boost
Not that bad
You know if you have this many questions you can try reading through the in game tips section first
It is actually quite detailed
reading 
I gonna do 1 lvl 10 chest team for 3 days, because i used 2 lvl 10 chest team before...yeah i got bunch of items but im running out of blue color mats
...but nvm, i already have enough for 3 interactions for 3 days
Then questions for what you should do you can ask here
never hear of that skill before
Where is that?
nvm
Reading 
Let someone answer everything like walking Wikipedia 
i prefer this
Poryphone Menu > Other > Tips > Scroll to bottom for Lodge tips
First thing you should do is get the expansion. Best way to do that is to use the omni boost to guarantee at least lvl 1 of everything and make teams that get you lvl 10 all 3 types (not chests) you will probably need to rotate one of them (likely yellow) out as we only have 2 teams
After you get the 6 characters it's reccomended to get lvl 10 chests on at least one of the teams so you have an easier time getting 6 interactions a day
That will give +3 slot in 2 day tho
Imo seeing many links in pins is too much information. Tips has the relevant info the game wants you to know of how the game works in digestible sections. Then for best practices you can consult with players.
Once you can do so, use the guides to know how to respond to your character of choice and you should be all good to go
now we have strategy
Luckily there is a lot of luck attached to interactions, while using items I've had nearly every one of my interactions end at 90%+
With full understanding of how it works
yeah kinda... For average user like me i dont know much bot command so no pory
No I’m talking about in game
Now I got flashbacks of players asking for 10 teams to clear LG, in the last 2 hours 
Ah yeah
That is better for sure
LG about to come
I'm not against helping, but if I need to answer more trivia questions, I'm gonna 95% that dude
I have been hearing it's better to not use items from well informed players....saying they started getting interactions ending closer to 0-40
It's still all about rng
Sometimes you get lucky and reached 10% attention. Sometimes they bail on you at 90%
You telling me the items rigged it? 
the earth isnt flat even if you see it is flat

Lol.
Rng is real
I'm not the only one
Like I said multiple people commented on this and actually told me to try without items
No way, flat lodge society
11/12 is pretty big
I used no item still end at 44 tho
Like increase 4 lv out of 6
No item mean dont know hot topic, low chance of max vibe, % go down faster and in worst case you end without gift (lose 30% + is like 1 turn of max vibe)
I don't like the silver items but you should at the very least get the glasses
Every run was first turn - free pick, 2nd turn free pick activate max vibes, get 2 more free picks. Choose again attention drops 5-9% conversation stops
11 out of 12 times lol
same 😦
I mean with item i fail max vibe like 3 time yesterday but still get + 9 lv
Normal
You've seen the posts about trainers ending on 100% attention also
it's not a flat rate
I didn't get that unlucky
I get that
I'm not looking for conspiracy theory, just the "hidden numbers or factors"
Like after i give them gift it go back to 100 and then they run away next topic
Never seen them leave when the number is 100
They can it's been posted a few times
The moment you drop they calculate
Seem like i didnt take photo that super unlucky moment
can you be max vibes twice?
I think??? it's only once per interaction
oh okay
people be spreading misinformation
damn i got to 25% attention with blue before it ended

Since it says “once per interaction”, if you do multiple interactions at once is it still just one or no?
Ok so it’s really just a regular interaction but everything is multiplied at the end
Got it
Do you need like 6x times the items to use them in a 6x interaction? How does that work?
Makes sense. Thank you.
Are all guests equally “friendly”? As in they will end the conversation at the same range of percentages and they get the same amount of points? I’m asking because Silver does not seem as friendly as, say, Sycamore
i don't think we have confirmation but that would be really funny
Far as I know the percent you see is the percent they’ll stay
It’s just the topics they like are less
would be hilarious if choosing charas is just hard mode
OH right lmao 😭 silver canonically has the smallest 10-point topic list
well.
i love him
i think marnie has the most 10-point topics?
something like that
she has a lot of them
See the pins for the list btw
BUT ALSO ALL BUT 1 FRIEND ARE IN THE 10-POINT CATEGORY AND THE 1 OTHER FRIEND IS IN THE 7-POINT CATEGORY
Oh okay
HE LOVES HIS FRIENDS 
N has been pretty nice to me
Silver is the only character who doesn't have +10 on trainer lodge
o wait silver appreciator what lvl are u at for silver???
Ikr??? I feel like Blue is more friendly with me but Silver just despises me so much
There was a post on reddit about how aiming for 5/5/5/10 would be better,
https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonMasters/comments/x0cuwu/optimizing_expeditions_the_1055_strat_and_why_it/
Was this discussed here, is it sound? I'm trying to assess if I should keep doing 10/10/3/1 omni + 0/0/10/10 rare
YES oh my god...yelling and hollering and crying
🤝
41...
o ur past me 
my brainrot is immense and my dedication is unmatched
I have actually only interacted with N outside of the tutorial. I just thought he wasn’t friendly because I clicked on him and he said “What do you want?”
and I was right
mostly kidding. but i love silver lmaooo
wait I haven't seen the lvl 30 quote for ||getting a present from him yet|| (but will see it at reset) but all his other lvl 30 stuff I'm gonna cry he's so cuteeeeeeeee

YEAH!!!
17 More Points...
silver I'm standing outside your house with a baseball bat a million berries that I'm gonna force down ur throat until u love me
Are you guys just using 3-star presents every time? Because I’m at 30 with N
i mostly use 1-star and throw in 2-stars if i want to splurge
i think i've just been getting lucky lmao
lol no those are too pricey (but so are the silver ones cause I'm also trying to grab the other stuff that cost silver)
but ye same as silver appreciator
mainly 1*, sometimes 2*
...the corollary of silver having the shortest 10-point list is that it is the easiest to memorize,
Yeah ok maybe it’s just the fact that N has been ending my conversations at like 80% attention 
(i wish i could care about anything remotely useful as much as i care about silver from pokémon but oh well)
ye I feel like I know his 10-point list by heart now. it's mainly just an issue of knowing if other topics are 7 or 5
Idk longer lists also not that hard if it’s all similar stuff
ok (memorizes marnie's entire list)
Like blue just likes talking about kanto stuff which is a lot, then some league stuff plus casual clothes
based. based. very based.
imagine being able to focus on important stuff as easily as u can with special interests
god I wish that were me
it's weirdly endearing to me that one of silver's 10-point topics is Quiet Places. aw
He loves that movie
I haven’t looked at any lists but I know N loves: Hilda, Hilbert, Hats, Nature, Pasio, Trainer Lodge, Chargestone Cave (hopefully I’m not wrong about any of those, I’m gonna go check the list now)
I wanna just silently chill with silver at home while we both do our own thing but appreciate the other's company 
Does everyone love Pasio and Trainer Lodge?
I'm the complete opposite 
he's also the only one who seems to like ninjas (7 points)? also hairstyles
not silver!
Ok I should really check the lists
Me: I can do Extreme Battle events, 10k CSMM, Battle Villa, LA and LG, and Battle Challenges relatively easily
DeNA: Here, interact with characters
Me: fuckng shit-
i want to beat him over the head like he is a whack-a-mole but i also echo this sentiment
Silver in the lodge: let me out!!!!
silver like "this place is too busy for me I hate it here"
sameeeee
You guys discuss this already?
https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonMasters/comments/x0cuwu/optimizing_expeditions_the_1055_strat_and_why_it/
I'm trying to assess if I should keep doing 10/10/3/1 omni + 0/0/10/10 rare or if something else like what this write up suggests is better?
silver also likes reading! fun facts
What genre does he like
I want to just sit in trainer lodge with him, saying nothing to each other, just reading all day
o mood. constantly switching between "I love this boy I'm gonna wrap him up in blankets and give him hot choco" and "I'm gonna harass this boy until he hates me"
isn't reading a 7 topic?????
i think it would be really funny if he liked something totally unexpected, like those crappy young adult romance novels straight from wattpad
SDFGHJKJHGFD
Ok I checked the list and I was right about all the ones I mentioned N loves but he has a LOT more
I enjoy interacting with N
yes! idk if it's accurate but i've been interpreting the tiers as like. 5 points is neutral, 7 is like, 10 is love
I'm just gonna steal pokespe Silver's character and say gameverse Silver loves mecha anime and manga
silver secretly sneaking into the library and just checking out a bunch of romance novels for like 12 year old girls
as much as i detest pokespe silver i do enjoy stealing bits of his personality for game silver
honestly, so would I
amen to that
Yeah sounds about right for a 10yo boy
actually what's the pokemon equivalent of like..... the horse girl genre. feel like I could see him lowkey liking that
ponyta girls
DFGHJKLKJHGFD
also i don't have any evidence other than It Would Be Funny but i think, similarly, silver would enjoy musicals. never admit it, but secretly...
the more cheesy and unexpected an interest is, the funnier it becomes
silver in his room at 2am getting emotional as he reaches the climax where the ponyta of the girl who moved from saffron city to azalea town finally evolves into a rapidash
I love them both a massive amount
i do not think game silver is a capricorn though. like we don't know his birthday, but it is Not december 24th (i don't take astrology seriously at all, i just know he has to be a water sign)
HNGGG I love this game mode even though I'm bad at it, it just fuels my headcanons
SDFGHJKJHGFD Silver just humming a song from the cheesiest musical ever and the MC is just like ".....isn't that song from (insert musical name)???" and silver's just like "!?!?! n-no why would I—" "it's def from that musical, p sure it's the song that they sing when x???" "no I— I just...... they're constantly playing ads for it around this stupid island, so of course it got stuck in my head" "I don't think that song plays in any ads, tho—" "ANYWAYS MOVING ON LET'S BATTLE,"
w-what is wrong with this chat..
this chat is incredible
it's 90% people asking about team comps and 10% people discussing background characters from older games
Some high amounts of fanboy/girling going on 😭
listen this is the one channel where talking about charas u like isn't likely to be interrupted by meta talk, let us have this 😭
this is what I love about lodge tbh. not finding the most optimal expedition comps and more about the characters. For once, I'm taking this game slow and casual
i'm speedrunning friendship with silver at a breakneck pace
just kidding. but i am having fun
I want to speedrun friendship with him but damn he hates me
out of all my interactions with him, only once have I reached below 50%
I wish some of my fave characters can reach lodge so I can fanboy too 
I have Blue and Silver at lodge. the only ones I care about 
oh I'm already this bad with silver it is over for y'all once they add bede or courtney or someone like that
Yes I need Courtney 
i think i have been getting comparatively lucky because i have had a handful of 200-point plus convos. the game knows i'm a real stan
damn, I think I've only reached 200... once
when we get lance in the trainer lodge i will evolve into an even more insufferable form 
Not the cape man 👨
i love lance. wtf
Can’t wait to discuss hyper beaming people for fun
i think it would be funny if they added lance and clair to the trainer lodge at the same time, and then you find out lance has clair listed as a 10-point friend but clair does not have lance on her topics list at all
never gonna happen though because the game refuses to acknowledge clair...
clair ex when...
We have ninja as a topic so Koga should be arriving eventually
Surprised N doesn't like Ninjas considering the shadow triad
Wasn’t shadow triad still loyal to ghetsis
there should be more Old Guys in the lodge. i support adding koga
Imagine he wouldn’t like them
We also have Sina as a topic, so..?
That's fair but it still seems odd to have a category no one likes
silver has ninjas on his 7-point list
so childish
That's adorable
yeah the point is that he is a young guy 😭? imagine if your rival was just like. Some Full Grown Adult
you play swsh as the preteen/teen protagonist and at every turn you are challenged by Chairman Rose
actually now that i think about it. yeah
I believe Leon's rivals growing up were Nessa and Sonia with Raihan entering sometime later
The first three makes a good rival triangle actually
Charizard vs drednaw vs yamper
I want silver's dad in the lodge, much to silver's dismay
Yamper has advantage against both Sonia strongest there is
we need villain's in the lodge (N doesn't count)
Real
add giovanni and lance to the lodge at the same time. let them have a fistfight
DFGHJKJHGFDS
I just wanna empty my lodge of everyone but gio and silver and have them just
I think Lance works well as a father figure to Silver
sniff
in the same room awkwardly avoiding each other
canonically Giovanni is not with the players team anymore is he?
So probably will not have
We never broke up
Do i go for rare catch only?
Probably bad idea for starting out
What should i go for?
absolutely agree, the ho-oh event had me lying facedown on the ground weeping
One color per team, rotating the teams so that you get the 3 colors evenly
Ok
He is also the self-proclaimed rival of Champion Leon, and despite having a losing streak of 0 to 10 against him, he is the only person who has come close to beating him, having managed to knock out more of Leon's Pokémon than anyone else.
bulbapedia didn't have to do raihan like this...
Morty getting Ho oh was nice but I think Silver getting it was among pomas' best scenes
idk on one hand, probably not but on the other hand it would be hilarious if MC just rolls up to a battle with gio and everyone's like "OMG MC why are u with gio????? he's wanted rn, u know????? actually did u bring him to turn him in or smth???? should we call the cops?????" and MC is like "no no don't call the cops I promised Gio I'd ignore all his past actions if he helps me out with this battle" "......MC," "what?"
"it's ok guys he may be wanted in multiple jurisdictions but his pokémon are cool"
Giovanni has done nothing illegal
Ok neo rocket
Except maybe borrowing the professors research notes
"listen, like.... I know he's a wanted terrorist and there's a bounty on his head but also like.......... are you really gonna say no to having mewtwo and and a nidoking that covers 3 whole types on ur team?????"
He’s kinda sussy for screwing with the other villains
pg-13
Lv ppl up
level up friendship!
That's a good point he tricked Ghetsis and almost captured him That's a good action right there
The enemy of my enemy is my friend
Thank you!
“listen… he has a cat”
Men with cats 😍😍😍
Mewtwo is also a cat isn't he?
the Johto VA had me weeping
I know Nidoking is a bunny
Omg two cats
Lance saying he's proud of Silver... WAAAAHHH
i think sneasel is like a cat. cat weasel
Giovanni is a catboy????
WEEPING AND WAILING AND SOBBING AND
I think Lance the flying master wanted Ho oh for himself
But seeing Silver get it was still a proud papa moment
he literally has persian statues all over like.... every TR base
- Interactions from pairs
- Gifted by pairs
- Pokeballs in expedition
- Cache
manifesting another event where silver and lance interact. i don't care if it's just one line or whatever It Restores My Life Energy
They interacted during the new york event
Damn they went to New York?
New York? 
YES YES YES YES
i could get into my whole copium conspiracy theory about how i want lance and silver to both get their sygna suits at the culmination of the villain arc But now is not the time
you know in the 2021 New Year's Event, Silver gives a Ho-oh feather for Lance (as a replacement for New Year's card)
YES
and I'm over here like- 
lance is like "oh, we have some cards for silver! i think i know where he might be :)"
:))))
sobbing into my palms
yeah.
specific moment i think about a lot is from johto va part 1
paulo: hey silver remember how you used to be a bad person
lance: paulo, maybe you shouldn't-
Silver: Yeah, and?
Lance "Oh I get some cards from my cousin."
Card text "I'm the better dragon trainer."
that moment lives rent-free in my head
always
and then trainer lodge Silver when you want to interact with him: "What do you want?"
and when you chat with him, "I'm not here to make friends"
double rejection
it's been very funny and satisfying to watch his dialogue change as you level up :))))
also his lodge story scenes. aw.
Clair is more of a water trainer than a dragon one
girlboss
Tsundere
shy boi
I don't know if this has been tested yet but I did all my interactions with Lillie today then removed everybody but Cynthia from the room.
Doing this I'm hoping that Cynthia will give me the gift on reset. If this works we can guarantee the lvl 30 drop even without using up the interaction.
how do you remove people from the room?
It's says cancel. Also seems like there must be 1 trainer in the room. It does not allow you to remove everybody
huh, don't know how i missed that even though i went to specifically look for it
thanks!
2nd link on pins
I don't understand those excel sheets

I hate maths and numbers
Can u say briefly like team A wich crystal level and team B
Team A 10-10-1-1 Team B 1-1-10-10
Is it possible?
For team B no
1-1-10-10 is difficult
you can get 10-10-2-1 with this team on Team A but only with Omni Boost
I like to focus on cache, personally
Yea I use omni boost, can also use other boost
Chests are useful to have they’re the only method for getting extra interactions
After 3 slot, crystals seems not that important
You’ll need a fair amount of type specific silver for great presents but other than that general Omni boost is usually enough for the bronze items
You use them to raise the targets attention and boost the point total. They’re the second tab from the items list I would say to use them when you can but not before you’re at 80% or below
After slots you want a high enough number in rare chest lv so that you can sustain buying 3 extra interactions each day
Ya I do too
Will it reset after this reset?
I see, so that will be my priority now for then
Garchomp is a striker so I would say focus on red and chests. Ideally a lvl 9 1 1 10 and 10 1 1 10
Is there anyone with a setup for May?
Lucas Giratina May/Serena and 1 chest unit from sinnoh and 2 chest units from hoenn/kalos
What do you think of these teams? Going for N & Sigilyph rn.
All these char I don't have
Amazing. Beautiful. Moving.
I guess one comment is that you have to depend on cheer so half the day you are at 9 chest
And 6 for the colors.. hm
but seriously i couldn't figure out how to max both rare chests and balance the other 3
Yes one chest is the easiest to do
Well that was a good day
Bane of 6 in one
Rosa after saying she always looks forward to talking
Then leaving asap
You get daily gift for getting a character to lv 30 friendship?
starting to think stacking interactions is bs
saves on time but I've ended early two days straight
definitely optimal to do them 1 at a time if you can be bothered
less chance of that
6x just takes more time to equalize itself
You’ll get lucky and unlucky over a week vs over a day
Is it worth the gamble
Today.... I jumped from 34 to 44
No max vibes triggered
Oh gosh.. That was a bad run
I tried an interaction multiply by 6 times with Cynthia, and this is what happened.
That was good
Reached the 60s 😄
I go for max rare chest + yellow in 1 team
Then blue and red in the other
Will these teams get me 6 silver silver presents every day?
Apparently, we can get power-ups as a gift from trainer in lodge
Rosa just gave me 1 
Holy shit that's broken
ah i see it seems to be for over lvl 30 friendship
it's overall 2% given it's 4 coins, and yeah, it's lvl 30+
What the flip man? I got the hot topic 4 times but still no max vibes?? And N is at 59%, game why? 
N aint feelin the vibes today
I don't know about you but combined 4% chance to get good stuff everyday is broken enough for me
And not to mention the stuff we can get from cache
Thats it, im giving him the juice next interaction 
The amount of resource we can get from this mode is really nice
4%? where are you getting that number? it's 4 coins, so 2%
2% 4 coins, 1% power up, 1% scout ticket
Almost half way there
WAIT IS THIS A LEVEL UP THING ?
Instead of just doing a normal talk animation, he looked into his pocket and handed me an item
Have i just been blind and not noticed it or is this a level up thing ?
you get a gift from em everyday
Halfway through Cynthia, just 48 more levels left
Also yeah I think you need to make the pairs at minimum leve 10 before they give you gifts
Aight yeah this is just insane
Lodge is busted, confirmed lol
Guyz... I think you can only give ONE gift
yeah
I did 3 interactions in one go... And you can only give ONE gift... Not three
It uses 3
You need x3 amount to give the gift^^
Really?
I know, ut i'm pretty sure N didn't had an animation for handing me an item before
3 gifts??
Yep if you use all your interaction, you need 3 items
Yeah x6 mean 6 gift to use x3 is 3
bruh i used all item today and quit rate is insane quit before 6th topic is 5 out of 6 time
So for the daily gift we have to get 5 char to lv 30 for best odds or just one character to lv 30
Yeah, if rng hates you, even hot topic half rounded down won't help 
I only got to 9 topic.... Gosh... It would be soo epic if I get to 14 topic you know
Highest I got is 13
Honestly I’m just happy to not get quits on 95%
if i didnt use juice it might give me only 5 lv today
Highest I got is 9 😞
By the 10th, I expect the pair to cut me off soon 
I'm ok with leveling up once per interaction
Yeah, this friendship is turning out great
Juice is good tho
10th topic is far-fetch dream
I cant even gift her
Does anyone know if we need 5 lv 30 or just 1??
Just cancel all low lv pair by the end of day i guess
some ideas for min-maxing Cynthia interactions:
- pick the ruins location
- reset until hot topic is Places
- use silver+ present at 85% attention or below (maybe at 90 or below if you don't get a hot topic)
Best single interaction so far

Location matters??
not sure tbh. might be placebo. I think some topics might be location-locked though
What location for lilie 
I didn't know that locations matter
I just take random location
Same
Unless someone data mine I am staying in the lodge
I tried resetting but failed
Cutscene to walk to location is a waste of time
Lmao
Man
Lillie should call police if you bring her alone to dark alley 👮

they explicitly wrote that the location doesn't affect the interaction
Thank god
It change to night tho didnt know
does affect topic spawn tho
If it does affect anything it should say here
Conversation may change depending on their location
hot topic i guess
F
She afraid of of dark places ig
still need to find perfect "hang out location"

Ok, the resources after a full day and night of double chest are definitely worth it
rare stone?
lots of them, yeah
that's just your brain lighting up seeing big numbers, how much you wait to claim makes no difference
Have good amount of silver crystal?
I do, but it's hard to be able to afford 6 silver gift everyday
to be able to use 6x all in once for 6x multiplier
I see
Im wonder if it spawn fast enough for 6 juice and 6 silver gift on max 1 color in two team
Or just hope for chest rng
well, before I used to do that, cause I was in a hurry to get 6 expedition slot
U use juice and no ring?
but now I just ch eck every now and then to see if the cheer bonus is available
I find it funny how people use all interactions to inflate their scores and show off on Facebook one day they will cry when an encounter ends quickly
Ring isnt nesessary tho i always has hot topic with lilie
I prefer that instead of people posting their screenshot and saying "Got this masterfair first multi"
tbh
Like either turn 2 or 3
I mean neither juice nor ring is needed if you keep resetting I suppose
But I think ring is nice since it affects every single turn
so you want newbies to do all interactions and fail lol
bruh trigger my sadness
juice is particularly unnecessary because you can reset safely for a turn 2 max vibes
Help
ring is nice for expected longevity though
I learned that the hard way
I dont do reset tho so max vibe can still fail
Exactly
Interaction ended so quickly that couldn't even add gift
Nah, i'd never suggest that unless you know what you are doing
Save for another day
So today did all the interactions one by one
Ring just give you hot topic more in turn 1-3
ye I had many encounters end in 30-60 points so would be disappointed if I did all in one
like resetting and using items everytime
Where does it say only turn 1-3
x3?
No i mean it only matter those turn
What it help after max vibe
It matters more than that
yes
Still less attention lost
she did the same today but x6
it didnt say so
Unfortunately one can't stop bad interactions with max items
That's half the purpose of hot topic
Can this team get me 6 silver gifts for silver per day
One is max vibes
Other is attention lost is halved
hot topic make attention lose only half ?
Didn't read tutorial moment 

Or do i need to make some modifications
I prefer real experience tell me 
Does it matter if u pick max vibes first turn or few turns later?
it matters, because first and 2nd interaction won't drop attention
It help you plus free 20 point if choose on third turn
so you want to trigger max vibes from 3rd topic
So few turns later is better option?
you will probably average slightly under 3000 fiery silver crystals per day. it should be higher (~3.5k) with a second 9+/1/1/10 on team B
yeah, but you never know when they are gonna end the interaction, so I just do it starting at the 3rd topic, because that's when attention starts to drop
I c thx
I did a lot of reset this time until I could get the hot topic at 3rd topic choice
ended at 84% after gift, but still I did from Lv41 to 49
I did pick Max vibes in this interaction at 3rd or 4th one
1 interaction?
No
6 interactions right?
oh ok so doesn't really change anything
Bruh that is even worst than me today and i end 5 interaction at 80%
Mine ended at 96% I think it was
use rings?
brb getting 20% run
that's with full items daily

so ring doesn't stop bad fails
I had to reset a lot cause of the ring, I was getting hot topic option right at the beginning
and I didn't want that
I see pick only hot topic isnt that good tho
Actually was 95/100
also, it's good to reset for the hot topic as well
Since excited topic also can be hot
Rosa has like, only 2 10 points answer in Fashion hot topic
Average today for me tho
while she has a lot in places
