Trainer Lodge

[next junco]

easy to decide who to Ex

[ashen wasp]

only 4 he says lol, my friend, it takes like 6 months at the very least to get those

[next junco]

can say the same

Sadly i simp for beedrill

[finite dock]

But if I save them, then I have them!

And now I'm down to 6/4/0 instead of 9/7/5 that I recently had

[distant ember]

felt

[ashen wasp]

having a fave doesn't mean you turn your brain off or blast every bit of upgrades just for the sake of it on them

[icy wagon]

Crasher is a POG

[ashen wasp]

not everyone "appreciates" their favorites the same way

[icy wagon]

Only one idk how good/bad is Pinsir

[glacial echo]

How the hell do you guys get 10 levels a day

[finite dock]

My 1/5 Mawile is my only EX that doesn't had enough grid unlocked to benefit from being worth EXing

[icy wagon]

[ashen wasp]

RNG, filthy cheating and such lol (save scumming is kind of cheating)

[glacial echo]

Save scumming?

[distant ember]

i've had like decent rng at best and never done any resetting but got sycamore to level 55 today

[next junco]

Just use item

A lot of items

[ashen wasp]

force closing the app when the convo is not going well, I'm not too aware of specifics, I don't do it

[sharp solar]

Item: "Credit card"

[icy wagon]

Meanwhile me with Cynthia: 95%? Time to dip

[finite dock]

I've done no resetting, but I should have tried today.

Cynthia left at 94% twice todag

[lost pumice]

Rip

[next junco]

expedition tho no need for credit card

[finite dock]

So I'm only level 47. I should have hit 50 today but only two interactions were long enough to give her gifts (I usually give gift at 82-85%)

[next junco]

Only need cheer

[quiet vortex]

only 47

im barely not 36

[ashen wasp]

damn, she dumped you real hard

[finite dock]

I NEED GASTODON!
AND I NEED EX GASTRODON

[lost pumice]

Same and I wasted 6 interaction once and couldn't give gifts

[distant ember]

can't wait to never use sycamore bulbasaur

[next junco]

oh someone do poorer than me... I though im already late with lv 40

[ashen wasp]

I'm leveling up May, granted I didn't pay that much attention to Lodge the first days so I'm only at 24

[finite dock]

I actually think gastrodon has a really nice kit.

I say that as someone who believes in support supremacy (33/34 of my EX-able supports are ex. I'm only missing 5 supports in the game)

[lost pumice]

Supports are always welcome

[ashen wasp]

supports are indeed the GOAT

[quiet vortex]

gonna get toxicroak marnie to 20/20 5* as copium

[distant ember]

yeah gastrodon is probably the best unit of the nine

[finite dock]

Supports (except for Comfey and Stoutland) are amazing

[next junco]

Get mama cynthia yet?

[lost pumice]

Lvl 49 only

Oh u meant lucario no

5 multis 3 5*

[next junco]

better get her

[next junco]

[lost pumice]

Im pitying her

[next junco]

Same here

[quiet vortex]

i pitied her

my wife also had to

[lost pumice]

If she comes early the Ill try for red

[quiet vortex]

fuckin master fairs man lol

[lost pumice]

I had to pity SSRC too

[finite dock]

I might pity her.

I did my 5 multis for the bonus items. Now I'm saving to decide if I want to pity Cyncario or try for Shaymin

[lost pumice]

First'pity

[next junco]

I will yolo single pull red

[next junco]

bruh you re lucky

[lost pumice]

Next multi in 2 days

[next junco]

Pity touched me twice already

[quiet vortex]

my first was ss!lusa

big regert

cool outfit though

[lost pumice]

First SSRC then Lugia

Had to pity both favs

[finite dock]

I've only pitied Celebi

[next junco]

well save more then

[lost pumice]

[next junco]

[lost pumice]

Imagine saving

[quiet vortex]

its so difficult

[lost pumice]

18-20k is the most I have ever saved

[next junco]

i know my luck

[finite dock]

I tried. I'm incapable

[lost pumice]

Same

[quiet vortex]

i just need to keep in mind that anni N will also be shit odds

when he reruns

[lost pumice]

When he reruns

[quiet vortex]

copium

[finite dock]

And yet...

In the history of the game I've only regretted missing Groudon (I have him now) and Keldeo.

I would like to get Urshifu, Zoroark, and Vanilluxe... But I did not try for them due to timing.

[next junco]

When is Eos again?

[lost pumice]

Yeah Archie maxie rerun gave huge copium for MF reruns

[next junco]

Leon next i guess

[quiet vortex]

im over here praying for anni n and ssr cynthia reruns

[lost pumice]

I Skipped groudon

Cuz I had Cynthia

[random portal]

It seems like i'm averaging around 8-9 level ups after doing a 6 at once interaction.

[next junco]

Hope no master fair touch the lodge

[quiet vortex]

i hope not

ill be pissed

[finite dock]

I am sad not seeing 2.5 anni trio or 2.0 master fairs come back

[quiet vortex]

ikr

[random portal]

You're one day too late.

[quiet vortex]

oh right

cynthia counts ish

[next junco]

Just a picture

[random portal]

she still touched the lodge

[finite dock]

I hope all alt outfits come to the lodge.

As costume choices for the base units. Like Cyncario has a frame, but why can't we just have Cynthia with any of her outfits when at the lodge?

[next junco]

Not real lodge character to interact

[lost pumice]

Lodge needs lots of stuff

[quiet vortex]

i wouldnt outright count cynthia

but if they add like leon

ill be big mad

[lost pumice]

Hope in time they can make it even great

[finite dock]

I really don't know why the lodge is locked to specific versions of characters.

I think if you have any of the blue/Cynthia/Lillie options you should get them in the lodge

[quiet vortex]

even though leon is inevitable

[next junco]

it just make me sad because i have no SC

[random portal]

I'm pretty sure the only unit that is a master fair that would have the chance of being a lodge character is Leon

[lost pumice]

Yeah

[random portal]

Maxie and archie as one seems like a stretch

[next junco]

Need to sell monthly poke fair tho

[hard badger]

Lodge is locked to versions because the presents are based on the originals type

Though all Marnies except toxicroak are tech anyway

[finite dock]

I'm glad I have every lodge unit.

But the only characters I have no version of are Ash, Looker, and Raihan

[random portal]

Bede in lodge waiting room

[finite dock]

Oh ya. I forgot I don't have bede

Bede is dumb

[next junco]

i will just wait when monthly poke fair pool has 10 character and then i will pity marnie

[carmine lake]

If i choose to do all 6 interactions at once, if i choose to use a gift, will it use 1x or 6x of the gift?

[random portal]

6x

[hard badger]

Can we reset the daily present?

[random portal]

You will need as many gifts as how many interactions you use for the convo

No resets

[carmine lake]

Ahhh ok. Feels bad i dont have enough of the 1.5x gift item

[next junco]

nobody has enough

[random portal]

POV. N wants you to take his hand.

[next junco]

It is 1 per day

[quasi sigil]

N simps where you at

Quick grab his hand

[severe river]

Yea i was so surprised when lillie had a custom animation

[random portal]

i don't care for N. Just find it funny

[next junco]

[random portal]

[next junco]

The moment is captured

[deep tree]

that is a weird face to make ...

[next junco]

[deep tree]

embarrassed + angry + irritated + disgusted ...

[next junco]

Dena dev is discord member so they use this emote

[deep tree]

[next junco]

Pout

[quasi sigil]

Whoa is this a new expression?

[next junco]

Make my time spending grind friendship worth

[severe river]

I was referring to the giving item in trainer lodge one

[next junco]

ok i need this

[snow birch]

is there any point to buying friend keys

it increases the cap past 100 but idk what that does other than more friendship

[ashen wasp]

get more stones basically, since it's 10 per level

but you'd rather move to another pair instead

[snow birch]

stones?

[ashen wasp]

guess it'll be useful if you get them all to 100 and no one else is next

[snow birch]

like it gives fiery, etc?

[dawn pulsar]

it also lets you flex how much you love your waifu

[ashen wasp]

no, Lodge Stones

[snow birch]

oh those things we exchange

[snow birch]

lmao technically yeah

[sturdy monolith]

pretty sure max level is like 999999

for friendship

[snow birch]

i'll buy and store for faves

tyty

[dawn pulsar]

I got a gold one from a cache today, it was hype until I realised I wouldn’t have use for it for like half a year

[snow birch]

better get them now then scavenge for them later

[quiet vortex]

It'll be worth it when they actually announce/add what the level 200 rewards will be

It's the long game

[snow birch]

inb4 level 200 is another frame

[quiet vortex]

Copium

[snow birch]

[sturdy monolith]

how good is marnie / toxicroak? marnie is the only one i dont have lol

[quiet vortex]

Honestly idk

I just want more poison units

To me she looks fine but I'm also not very good at this game

[sturdy monolith]

sycamore seems pretty good for poison tbh

he has ramming speed as passive and gets sludge bomb

[quiet vortex]

Yeah I think Sycamore is pretty solid

After I get Marnie and Cynthia I might go for him

[sturdy monolith]

im going for cynthia, blue, then maybe the next support

[quiet vortex]

What does Blue have

[keen summit]

Exeggutor

[quiet vortex]

Oh yeah

[sturdy monolith]

he has good sun passives and decent flinch chance

[quiet vortex]

He's also up there purely because I like Exeggutor lol

[snow birch]

with presents do you give at the start or in the middle of a convo?

[north moat]

Ok got my first team done! Any recommends for a Blue + Cache second team?

[quiet vortex]

Middle

Presents restore attention

[snow birch]

ok thought so

thanks

[quiet vortex]

No!

Omg auto correct

Np*

[keen summit]

LOL

[snow birch]

[quiet vortex]

LMAOOO

[snow birch]

depends who do you have?

i think a kalos team works

[lost pumice]

I didn't even think who will be the next one Id go for

[north moat]

I think I’ll need time to experiment

[next junco]

Cant 10/10

I guess you need ss kris and 2 johto chest unit without -2 blue

[north moat]

Maybe I’ll try Johto!

[next junco]

I only know 2 chest unit from johto which is SS gio and Silver

[plain nova]

fffff, 1st time doing 6 at once and she stopped at 4th topic, this shitty game will never do this again until i reach lv100

[next junco]

so all 6 interaction stop at 4th?

[keen summit]

Did you use items?

[next junco]

May be do 1 at a time is better

[lapis vault]

Sorry to jump in, but if I have SSkris, then would i be able to 10/10 the blues and the chest?

I wanna get the full 10/10 for both for team b

[next junco]

Check the pin they have 10/10 blue team B in there

[lapis vault]

Thanks didnt notice that

Dont have SS Gio tho 😞

[next junco]

that is expensive team tho

Just build 9/10 and get cheer... I get it everyday

[velvet bluff]

Is anyone else concerned about slowly running out of gold now that this lodge is out?

[steel crag]

but the lodge gives you gold...

[plain nova]

nope, you still earn more than you need

[orchid glade]

I don't have gold issues on my rerolls

[next junco]

If you mean coins then it never run out

[orchid glade]

you get plenty of coins even from selling pearls and evolution items

[next junco]

Although gear event come might burn 5mil coin tho

[orchid glade]

Not like you have to do it right away just save the gear and materials to max it

[next junco]

cant resist whenever i can spend gold

I even buy all lv 2 manual in shop

[orchid glade]

I have like 69 million coins so doesn't matter much for me lol

[next junco]

[lapis vault]

The list didnt have any 9/10 teams without using boosts

[next junco]

Row 139 on 6 slot

The team with lilie

Lilie and 2 alola chest unit that dont -2 blue

[urban flicker]

not really, I have so many gold right now and also items that I can exchange for coins such as pearls and Evolution crystal

in fact I suggest to do the evolution crystal stage in the training Area, you get a lot of gold for exchanging those

[orchid glade]

I checked my alts again and they have at least 600k gold without farming it

[urban flicker]

you definitely won't be running out of gold

[orchid glade]

yep even with buying the daily omni boost

[urban flicker]

@timid parcel

[timid parcel]

Sryyy

[urban flicker]

You definitely want to buy the extra interaction per day daily if you can afford it

[timid parcel]

Alright I have a few of these

[urban flicker]

you need 3 of each rare stone

[alpine flare]

That’s more than a few lol

[urban flicker]

[alpine flare]

Only need 9 each per day

[next junco]

hope rare stone more rare

[timid parcel]

Oh okay got it

[urban flicker]

as for the other things in the shop

[timid parcel]

I get the interactions then

[next junco]

Honestly i save them for furniture

[urban flicker]

Items ad gift are used to have better result in the interaction, you may not have enough resources to afford everytime the Silver Tier of those items

But, since you said you have already 6 expedition slot, you should be able to at least always afford to buy the Bronze tier of the items

[orchid glade]

I skip the vibe item usually if I am low on silver

[urban flicker]

You definitely want to always use items to have an optimal interaction run

[next junco]

Chest is most valuable source of silver tho... If they spawn i will buy juice

[urban zinc]

Can anyone tell me SSA Cynthia expedition bonuses ?

[next junco]

+3 blue and -1 red

[urban flicker]

as for their utility I'd say:

1. Insight specs
2. Feel Ring
3. Dig Shovel
4. Boost Juice

[urban zinc]

Thanks

[urban flicker]

The insight specs and Dig shovel cost bronze crystal, so they should be very easy to afford every time

[next junco]

Plan to get her for expedition ?

[verbal prairie]

what's the benefit of raising a trainer's friendship level above 100 when you get the new pokemon at lvl 100?

[urban zinc]

No just updating the sheet

[next junco]

Another reason to scout unit

[urban flicker]

Lodge Stone

[verbal prairie]

sorry what is Lodge Stone used for again?

[urban zinc]

Tbf SSA Cynthia is the 2nd Sinnoh with +3 Red, which makes her interesting

[orchid glade]

leveling people

[timid parcel]

Wtf you get powerup and coins as rewards?

[urban flicker]

Lodge Stone are used in the exchange shop to get various items, most notably the certificate of excellence, to raise a sync pair to level 150

[timid parcel]

Thats awesome

[verbal prairie]

ahh that's right

[urban flicker]

don't use them for anything else rather then Certificate of excellence

it would be a real waste

[next junco]

+3 Blue

[urban zinc]

Oh I read that wrong lol

[orchid glade]

I haven't used my stones yet

[next junco]

I guess the boy in sinnoh support red

[urban zinc]

So it's just the same as Lodge Cynthia, sad

[past dune]

base cynthia is already the best, free +2 chest for just 3 sinnoh

[urban flicker]

Average Meta Player: This unit is the strongest in the game.
Average Lodge Meta Player: This unit has the best expedition skill in the game.

[next junco]

[past dune]

ok but a double meta unit would be sick

[next junco]

Lodge player can proudly say fav>meta

imagine scouting for battle unit...

[urban zinc]

SSR :

[lusty hazel]

Do we know what does friendship level cap do?

[sturdy monolith]

u dont get anything from it atm except for the stones you get every 10 levels

[maiden haven]

Today im getting cut off at 90%, when I decided to use more items...

also not sustainable to me

she cuts me off at attention so high I dont even have any reason to use items yet

[lapis vault]

You mean the one with SS gio?

[next junco]

No

[lapis vault]

I might be blind 😅

[next junco]

The one with Lilie + 2 plumeria/Lusamine/gladion

[lapis vault]

Its been a long day

This one?

[next junco]

Yeah

[lapis vault]

Isnt this 8/9 without any boosters?

Not 9/10

[marble hemlock]

try this one

it does need omni extract boost though

[urban zinc]

Which one

[urban zinc]

Oof Plueria

[lapis vault]

That one gives me 9/8

[lapis vault]

And that one is 8/9

[urban zinc]

You can't do anything without any extract

[marble hemlock]

@urban zinc could you add these teams^ as cheer teams? I think they're the highest possible

[next junco]

Use it on team B

You cant have good team A tho

[marble hemlock]

team B also has 10/2/7/9 and 7/2/10/9 options with omni+cheer, if you don't mind lv9 vs lv10 cache

[nocturne aurora]

leaves at 84% and then dares to do this face

imma find better friends

[knotty nymph]

got a 4* PU

[next junco]

[past dune]

[next junco]

10lv cap up

[urban flicker]

For a new player that just has started the game, focusing on the trainer lodge seems to be very good

[knotty nymph]

yep

It is

[past dune]

coins, manuals, sync orbs and potential for powerups? hell yea it's good for them

[knotty nymph]

tho this is w/ all 3 extra slots unlocked and 1/10/1/10

You can also get scout tickets I think

like I got 10 from N as a daily gift

[past dune]

yea you can, it's all pretty good for newbies and some goodies for even veterans

[knotty nymph]

Just gotta get friendship to 30 to get them as a gift I think

[past dune]

even if people have all the sync pairs in current scout ppl will save them for next update too lol

[knotty nymph]

they're also free 5* PUs

[past dune]

gotta be lvl 30 for potential coins too 👌

[knotty nymph]

progress on N rn

[crisp hornet]

dang

[past dune]

seeing ppl get like minimum 6 lvls to sometimes just above 15 levels a day i'm thinking all chests will be the best 🤔
the crystals from chests can be used to buy more friendship cap levels and even then you probably won't be able to farm more than you get

[crisp hornet]

You know, i feel like we'll get to lvl 100 sooner than we zll thought

[knotty nymph]

10 in any of the three colors + 10 in chests is the way to go

[next junco]

chest is pretty good to farm silver tho

[crisp hornet]

Yeaaah .... Not really

It's still rng

[next junco]

With 2 chest you guarantee 500 silver each type per reset

[crisp hornet]

me who keeps getting coins

[past dune]

I have like 7 in red and like 8 in blue alongside chest iirc which is good enough for me i don't think going 10 in color is necessary

[next junco]

silver rate is not that bad tho

[crisp hornet]

Yeah i have better luck with the 4* crystals than the 2*

[knotty nymph]

Eh I really want all the chests I can get

[next junco]

That is 1 time silver chest

[knotty nymph]

the 10/2/2/10 includes the omni boost and sometimes a cheer

[past dune]

all I get is 4* crystals tbh

[next junco]

10 in color and 10 in chest

[crisp hornet]

Me too, with coins too

[knotty nymph]

I also get lots of coins

[crisp hornet]

and sometimes some random shit and lodge stone

[next junco]

I had enough for like 3 more reset

[past dune]

once both my teams have the pairs to get 10 in one color and chests i'll be doing it but now doesn't seem possible 😭

[knotty nymph]

I got a 3* PU and a 4* PU from chests

At least so far

[next junco]

I just do 7/9 and 9/10 and get cheer

[whole epoch]

Is it better to go for the 7 that matches the hot topic or the 10 that doesn't?

[past dune]

the exchange for 1000 rarity 3 crystal and 1 rarity 4 crystal seems like the best use for those crystals, don't think i'll be going for 1.5x friendship presents no more

[knotty nymph]

7 drops attention less I think

[next junco]

you try to grind for gold present?

It is max 1 per day

[past dune]

oh my brain completely forgot to type the right shit

I mean the exchange for the 5+ cap items that use 1000 gold crystals and 1 chest crystal is better use than the 1.5x presents

feels like we'll keep up fast (unless super bad rng) 🤔

i'm thinking long term tho'

[next junco]

Why you need cap item

You gonna be overflow with it

[past dune]

save up for when it's relevant

nah chests don't drop enough of them tbh

[next junco]

30 Rare crystal each is easy tho

I can already exchange for 2 10 lv up cap

[past dune]

still alot, atleast I only have enough for 3 and that's potentially two days xd

[next junco]

3000 Gold and 30 rare is also 3 day

[knotty nymph]

how are you getting 3k a day

I can only afford one gold gift

[next junco]

Me too

[past dune]

yea but it's gotta be way faster farming for 1000gold crystals than waiting for 30 of each chest crystals bruh

[next junco]

3k in 3 day tho

[past dune]

2000gold crystals is equal to 30 of each chest crystal

[next junco]

need 3000 gold and 30 rare stone mate

For 1 10 lv cap

rob you blind

[past dune]

wut?

[past dune]

oh shit I was mixing up prices lmao

Ok i was wrong and dumb lol

[next junco]

So better just buy gift

[knotty nymph]

you'll have plenty of the 2* keys from chests by the time you level 100 one of them

[next junco]

No you're just lucky

I have none ever since lodge started

Only have like 5 1* key

[knotty nymph]

why are you trying to go past 100 anyways

I've gotten like 3 of the 2* keys

[next junco]

Get more lodge stone and flex

I dunno maybe it will be important later

[knotty nymph]

Eh I'd rather have level 100 on everyone for the lodge units bc I'm a LG player who always needs more bodies to throw at azelf

[next junco]

I mean it more like when you reached max all pair

[knotty nymph]

oh

fair

[next junco]

And you have nothing to do more

[knotty nymph]

I mean they're def gonna add more units atsome point

[next junco]

sure if they are free

Probably more og poke fair unit

[knotty nymph]

Unfortunately I have no marnie

[next junco]

That mean no new lodge unit for me

[next junco]

same

[knotty nymph]

I think a wooloo hop will be interesting

[next junco]

Can be

[knotty nymph]

It'll be cute at least

[next junco]

Hop so for that

Yeah i wont let it evolve

[wary wasp]

zerena lodge unit that’s just 10% zygarde 🤪

[long merlin]

Are the silver gifts worth getting or should I stick with bronze gift?

[urban zinc]

Cheer page

Will add more later

[tepid stone]

oh wow those are almost exactly the cheer teams I use lol (except I don't have ss giovanni oof)

it's annoying that we have to manually switch between cheer and non-cheer every 12 hours though

[finite dock]

How many charms is each one of these?

Since DeNA covered the whole damn thing, I need to know how many I have to keep set aside

[steel crag]

yooo those are my teams

[urban zinc]

Yes I copied them lol

someone asked me to add them

[steel crag]

really?

[wooden marsh]

500 each

[urban zinc]

Yes really

[finite dock]

Jesus Christ. 500 stones for one dupe?

Thank God I have move candies

[next junco]

Not worth

[past dune]

all I see is 400 lodgestones for 1 4* powerup 🤔

[next junco]

Would rather leave them rotten than pay for this

[next junco]

For 1 4 star candy

[sharp solar]

You can candy first and get powerups later

[past dune]

yea 4 star candy is w/e

[tepid stone]

probably worth it for the 4* support candies

[sharp solar]

Support, probably so, those are rare

[clear beacon]

So a total of 9000 if you have all 9 and you want them all 3/5

[next junco]

4 star support candy kinda worth tho

[long merlin]

Are the silver gifts worth getting or should I stick with bronze gift?

[sharp solar]

If you can afford it, get it

[tepid stone]

rn I have 40 4* strike candies, 21 4* tech candies, and 7 4* support candies

[clear beacon]

50 levels per dupe

[next junco]

In shortage of 4* support candy again need 6 now

[finite dock]

Silver gifts are definitely better.

If you have all 6 units for your expedition teams, you should be able to silver gift almost every interaction

[long merlin]

what % should I use a silver gift

[next junco]

But probably will fill up when normal month without anni or such come

[long merlin]

I got dropped at 96% once

[finite dock]

I always give any gift at 82-86%.

But also, Cynthia keeps leaving at 93/94% so... Screw her

[tepid stone]

I just used extra 4* bp vouchers for the 4* support move levels lol

[clear beacon]

Me about to save up and eventually spend 8000 lodge stones

[tepid stone]

and candies for all the non-support 4* bp units

[next junco]

I save BP ticket tho

Never know when they will update next

[clear beacon]

It’s possible that BP units won’t update until around the middle of 2023 at the earliest

[tepid stone]

I mean to be fair it costs 100 lodge stones for 20 codex sets or 1000 sync orbs, so I don't think 500 for a move level is that off economically

guess it depends on how much you value certificates of excellence

[sharp solar]

Certificates are unique, other exchanges aren't

[long merlin]

Didn’t get to use a gift

[next junco]

They will be harder to get soon ...when candy can just get more and more

[tepid stone]

guess it depends on how long you've been around and how many you have -- even after using 3 tickets for each of the new 4* supports (and 1 for each of the rest) I have 5 left (and 1 more in my present box)

[next junco]

When you maxed out all lodge unit you wont have reliable source of lodge stone

[tepid stone]

ohhh you're talking about lodge stones, never mind

[next junco]

Have to buy 10 cap lv up to get 100 lodge stone tho

[tepid stone]

yeah that's fair

but we'll also eventually get new lodge units for new "free" lodge stones

while we've been getting 4* support candies very slowly

[next junco]

Hope it is not all month poke fair

[steel crag]

didn't DeNa state that they will release new Lodge pairs every month?

[finite dock]

It seems to take 12-16 days to get a single unit to 100 friendship.

That's two a month. And we have 4.5 months of content right now.

[next junco]

I think it is pretty fast tho i only joint 126 day and already full on 4* candy ... If not for new unit i had enough

[tepid stone]

they're incentivized to release more though because it also incentivizes people to pull on the relevant banners (if they're limited units), and also not everyone will want to invest in all of the current pairs' interactions haha

[finite dock]

As long as they don't add Raihan or Bede...

I don't have their base forms lol😅

[next junco]

i only has 3 month of content

May be more with 80% quit rate

[clear beacon]

Rosa: congrats on getting me to level 100, you have 1000 lodge stones, now you can buy level up-
Rosa Fan: two dupes please
Rosa: but-
Rosa Fan: did I stutter?

[void lintel]

Rare caches occasionally give friendship keys to raise the level cap anyway, for more stones to get more dupes

[viscid kelp]

Something tells me theyll add new lodge trainers in batches

Like say

1 f2p, 1 gen pool, and 1 limited every batch

or more likely, 1 gen pool and 2 limiteds

[next junco]

They will milk it like Ex one per month

Soon Pokemon master Ex will change to Pokemon master Lodge

[viscid kelp]

Fine by me, this is fun and rewarding content

And a little silly too

[hard badger]

I would prefer dupes to minor stat increase as well

[cold ferry]

whats the highest level so far

[viscid kelp]

"Yo! Got any stories to share with me?"
"Accessories."
"YOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

[cold ferry]

i saw someone get level 50 with sliver

[viscid kelp]

Ive seen level 60 rosa

[cold ferry]

Its been like a week

people thought it would take months

[next junco]

10 lv per day

[cold ferry]

when with all slots it took like 2 weeks

[next junco]

So 3 unit max per month

[next junco]

3 day

[cold ferry]

Pin the first Lodge pair

i may get some numbers wrong

it took 3 days to get all the slots

and 4 days late some are in the 50s

[next junco]

Already at lv 20 when end of 3 day

[orchid glade]

Wow I got this

[next junco]

Noice

[cold ferry]

Pin the first lodge pair

[orchid glade]

First time I've gotten a good prize in a week from a 3* chest

[next junco]

Small thing If you update the game before the 25th reset (like 1 hour before lodge is official) you will have plus 3 interaction

[next junco]

hope more to come

[cold ferry]

when would the first lodge pairs come?

[orchid glade]

same 👍

[urban flicker]

yeah, that's what happened to me, at that time I knew nothing of the trainer Lodge, I did my first 3 interaction with Rosa, and as soon as reset came, I had other 3 available

[next junco]

it thought interaction reset in 5 minute tho

[urban flicker]

even more reason to not use your resources to get friendship key from the shop

[exotic holly]

HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS I HAVE ONLY INTERACTED WITH N, EVERY SINGLE DAY AND IM ONLY AT 11

[urban flicker]

Yeah, I thought interaction were refreshing after a set amount of minutes

[past dune]

skill issue

[next junco]

no i mean others... Not me

But lv 11 in 3 day js skill issue tho

[orchid glade]

I read here to do it quickly so went and did all accounts

[next junco]

Get lv 15 at least

[void lintel]

Okay, step 1: Have you been using boost items and giving presents

Step 2: have you been buying the extra 3 Interactions daily

With at least one team on Lv10 Rare Caches, you should be able to afford it; with two teams doing Lv10 Rare Caches, you can even stockpile the tier4 stones

Omni Extract or Rare Extract can help a lot

[orchid glade]

With one cache I have lots of tier 4 stuff

[void lintel]

The difference between Lv9 and Lv10 on a search team is quite large

[sharp solar]

Step 0 is learning the topics

[urban flicker]

Hope that you don't get dumped very early

[void lintel]

With some luck, it's possible to get 15 levels in one day.

[urban flicker]

that's all I gotta say

[void lintel]

My record

[viscid kelp]

I dont have the guts to use all my interactions at once lmaooo

Im content goin 1 by 1

[exotic holly]

How tf do you get the multipliers

[viscid kelp]

Presents and using multiple interactions

[exotic holly]

Ohhhh

[sharp solar]

1.3 is from silver gift

6x is from 6 interactions

[void lintel]

Exactly

Using multiple interactions only saves time, it doesn't actually raise Friendship EXP efficiency per interaction spent.
It doesn't save items, either; if you use an item or give a gift, it consumes one for each interaction you're using (in this case, 6)

It's just kind of "wow!" to see that big of a number all at once

Presents, though, are pretty important

[fiery bolt]

After having my all interactions failing today after one drop, I do regret it

[next junco]

Do all at one sound risky

If you get quit at 90% all is lost

[fiery bolt]

My only issue is those dang Expeditions teams, waiting for someone to do a generator or something

[next junco]

Generate crystal ?

Hard to find 6 silver gift per day to use in single interactions tho

[fiery bolt]

Nah, like a team generator to optimize depending on roster or something

Whatever I try it's like I'm one off from what I want to do

[next junco]

[tepid crater]

I didn't realise you could use more than 3 at once. that's handy information

[sharp solar]

You can use up to 10 at once. 6 is the maximum daily number though.

[upper timber]

Can anyone farming for cynthia or other red characters share their expedition teams? Idk what kind of balance to maintain while keeping 10 in chests in both teams

[frosty juniper]

You save 6 gold gifts

[marble hemlock]

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

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

I'm over-stocked on yellow and blue silver crystals from chests (though I don't buy the boost juice item daily)

you can adjust your teams if you run low of a certain color crystal, or swap to the cheer-optimized times for more yellow/blue

there's a lot more options for 9/1/1/10 teams if you don't have those specific limited units

even more for 8/1/1/10

[upper timber]

Thank you for the tips, right now i was focusing on red + chest on 1st, blue chest on 2nd, but was hoping there was some magical setup to squeeze in some yellow as well

But guess I'll have to change every now and then according to how many items I've left

[marble hemlock]

yellow + blue + chest is very hard to maximize on a single team. one option for more yellows is to swap to 9/7/2/10 team A when cheer is active (see chart in reply)

[worldly ivy]

Oooo can't make that team A but gonna steal that team B cause yeah have been struggling trying to manage my red items

[shrewd gorge]

Does anyone know of a way to max out red and orange production while still having a little bit of caches?

[marble hemlock]

probably can build 10/10/1/3 with 6 hoenn if you have regular Steven and May

[shrewd gorge]

Ooh nice

I’m trying to see how I do that

[marble hemlock]

Team A - 10/10/1/3 Steven/May/Brawly/Wallace/Lisia/Noland + omni
hopefully I added those up correctly

[shrewd gorge]

Cool thanks

I have a rare equipped rn so I have +5 chest, but the cheering boosts my red and orange to 10

Pretty awesome

I was trying another combination of Steven/May/Wally/Sidney with two off region peeps and it was getting similar results, however this accounts for no cheer when I run omni so it’s nice, or I can just keep buying rares and apply it to the team

[clear beacon]

What’s the average number of crystal drops per day per level
I remember seeing there being an info graph on it here or on Reddit

Found it

[marble hemlock]

some further thoughts on location:
it looks like each trainer has around 7 default options in each topic category, and the specific location adds 2 new options total. For example, Ruins location seems to add Ruins (Places category) and Rock types (Pokemon category) as available conversation choices

[clear beacon]

Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonMasters/comments/x0cuwu/optimizing_expeditions_the_1055_strat_and_why_it/

[clear beacon]

I think it’s just a placebo
But it would be interesting if certain topics were more likely in certain areas

[sharp solar]

Hm. That's interesting.
Do you have anything to back it up or is it just based on personal experience for now?

[marble hemlock]

I'm fairly certain some topics can't even spawn unless you select a particular location. like Partner Pokemon, The PML, Ninjas, Veteran Trainers, The Ocean, Forests, etc

only based on personal experience atm

I haven't seen most of Cynthia's options for Places in ~40 interactions. default/common ones are Celestic Town, Distortion World, Sinnoh Region, Unova Region,Eterna City,Sunyshore City,Kanto region, but the remaining Places are either really rare or location-specific

[alpine flare]

the game does say location affects the conversation

so if what you're saying is true there must be some locations that are optimal because they spawn topics that the character likes

[tepid stone]

HUH that is interesting. no current lounge character seems to have a non-neutral opinion on forests or the ocean though

[alpine flare]

this is so sad i hate locations the 2 second cutscene to walk there is annoying

[tepid stone]

...but everyone hates the ruins except cynthia, so there are certainly places you don't want to go

[alpine flare]

i hope 'trainer lodge' is only a topic while in the lodge so it's optimal to stay inside

[sharp solar]

Hm, and everyone unlocks locations in the same order, right?

[tepid stone]

oh wait yeah, everyone loves the trainer lodge except silver lol

maybe I should start staying inside...

[past dune]

the ingame guide or tips w/e says that backgrounds have no effects on conversations

[alpine flare]

2nd sentence

[past dune]

I swear the tutorial says that background has no affect on conversations 🤔

[blazing sapphire]

Just cosmetic I think

[thorny beacon]

silver has "quiet places" on his 10-point list, which is why i always choose the busy plaza area,

[night tide]

This mode is to hard I just want my feralgatr ):

[alpine flare]

friendship lv 0

[thorny beacon]

i love it, personally

[night tide]

This is more difficult 3H tea times dies

[shadow bramble]

Is it better to have 2 chest teams or have one chest team with one other color max and the other team be the other colors

[glad acorn]

He's gonna 95% on you

[glad acorn]

It depends on whether you want to focus on one color or not

[shadow bramble]

Balance just gives 10 in everything tho

[tepid stone]

That doesn't take into account the chest contents

specifically the level 4 crystals

[glad acorn]

I added in the estimated from chests

But yeah stones should be enough with just 1 10 cache

[glad acorn]

That's why it's called ⚖️

[night tide]

I still don’t understand interacting

[tepid stone]

there's also the chance for stuff like powerups and scout tickets from chests

[glad acorn]

1st topic - 10 pointer
2nd topic - Hot topic to get into max vibe
3rd and 4th - 10 pointer
5th and onward - Hot topics. Use presents whenever your attention drops to 90/80/70

Addendum : Hope for good rng

[worldly ivy]

I just like to choose random so I can pretend silver chose the location

[alpine flare]

how chads interact:
choose a topic you would actually like to have with a character
close your eyes and imagine a conversation between you two for five minutes
repeat until they leave
cry yourself to sleep

[night tide]

I still confused but thanks

[glad acorn]

What is your problem with it?

I suggest picking pomatool just so you can check the topic points on the fly

[night tide]

Kk

I just don’t understand what the interactions do or anything I’m so blind to this mode lol

[stone cradle]

is it better to have 1 team for red/yellow and another team for blue/chest or should you max chest on both teams and just not pick one of the colors to max?

[tepid stone]

(unrelated to anything, but I'd always thought your profile picture was just a sad morpeko and never looked at it closely until now lol)

[pale marsh]

the interactions give you da points and more points = more levels and more levels = gifts

idk

[glad acorn]

I'd only suggest double chest if you can optimize teams like 10-9 & 10-10

[worldly ivy]

wish there was a way to sort the scrapbook with all the photos u own at the start. like rn I only have the 2 silver photos but will def get annoying when I've got a page worth of photos but they're separated by locked photos

[vestal kraken]

Is this good?

[mortal turtle]

is it better to go 10 0 0 10 or 9 1 1 10 or 10 1 1 9?

[stone cradle]

well im currently 10/10 and 10/10 i guess ill see if i can make 2 teams with 10 chest on each

[pale marsh]

really good

also cynthia wooo

[stone cradle]

guess ill have to swap to a 10 yellow team at some point tomorrow

to try to even out my rewards

[hard badger]

I would prefer 9 1 1 10 just because it gets you a good supply of bronze without needing to devote resources to it

[glad acorn]

Red and yellow are easy to 10-10. Blue though

[hard badger]

The difference between 9 vs 10 for red isn't too significant but missing out on the bronze sounds annoying

[stone cradle]

mine is 10 1 0 9 i think atm

i just have a cheer boost now so its 10 2 1 10

the other is 0 0 10 10

[hard badger]

Selene Hapu Hau Plumeria Guzma Pheromosa is a 10/1/1/10 team for team B that uses pretty common units

I would always rec omni boosts

[crimson surge]

My best interaction yet. It was just one interaction

[visual badger]

Nice!!

[night tide]

I-wow thays new one

[jovial moon]

So I don't have ssgio but would like to have 2 teams that can hit 10 chest (with either 1 other 10 or 2 other 6-7 excluding cheer)

Are there such teams

[lethal marsh]

Foolproof, thanks 👍

[hard badger]

I don't believe there are teams that can 1/1/10/10 but there are setups for red and yellow. Though double 10/1/1/10 would probably be difficult without Gio.

[next sorrel]

is it worth it to go dual 10/1/1/10 if im just farming Cynthia will all consumables? or should i say with 10/1/1/10 and 1/10/10/1?

[hard badger]

I would keep double chests to ensure you will always be getting the 6 interactions

[glad acorn]

Going duo 10/1/1/10 allows you access to tier2 presents to ramp up the speed

[lethal marsh]

I’m doing cynthia double chest and it's working great! I'm already level 47

[glad acorn]

And also more assorted trinkets from chests. Though keep in mind that it's just 44 chests per day.

[hard badger]

44 sounds low, is that for dual lvl 10 or just 1?

[glad acorn]

Just 1

[mortal turtle]

I can't make 2x 10 1 1 10 nor 2x 9 1 1 10, I can make: 2x 10 0 0 10, 2x 8 1 1 10 or 9 1 1 9 + 10 1 1 10, which is the best?

[hard badger]

8/1/1/10 + 10/1/1/10

[mortal turtle]

Nvm I made 9/1/1/10 + 10/1/1/10

[flat lantern]

i dont understand those teams

thats the best distibution?

[mortal turtle]

Just need more johto pairs with +3 -1 or with chests to make the other 10/1/1/10....

[flat lantern]

Whats the best distribution?

[lusty hazel]

Finally, some good results

[jovial moon]

[glad acorn]

Unless there was a team that gives 10-10-10-10, there is no best distribution. You build teams according to pair you are going for

[glad acorn]

Anything above 200 is great.

[lusty hazel]

Max Vibes after present is best strategy?

[void lintel]

I don't get why that would matter

Commutative property.
2 x 1.3 = 1.3 x 2

[glad acorn]

Technically max vibe at the end would yield the best gain, but you have to suffer too much rng for that

[void lintel]

It also means either intentionally dodging Hot Topics (ruining the Attention score fast) or just getting really unlucky with Hot Topics

[lusty hazel]

So twice already I’ve hit 79 then silver present goes back to over 90, then I went for max vibes

[glad acorn]

We have players who got cut off for attempting max vibe on 3rd topic. I will definitely not take any chances

[lusty hazel]

I will try one more time

[glad acorn]

Need the pair not to vibe until the final hot topic. That's some unholy rng

[void lintel]

And it would have to happen on the turn when the Attention% would have decreased to 0

[glad acorn]

The only one who would attempt it ->

[lusty hazel]

So I went for 4 super exciting topics, and convo ended

2 out 3

Had over 200 the first 2

[mortal turtle]

anyone did a math to calc hot topic 5 points x normal topic 10 points, hot 7 x normal 10, hot 5 x normal 7??

[void lintel]

...huh?

[glad acorn]

If only I understand that question

[mortal turtle]

Hot topic makes you lose less attention, but if you had to choose between lossing less attention x more points

[void lintel]

Well, if the convo has been going on for a while, it's no longer 5 vs 10 pts

[glad acorn]

Hot topic is theoretically better than taking a 10 pointers

[void lintel]

It could be 5+5 vs 10+5 pts from Excitement Building

[glad acorn]

And that assumes you pick two 5 pointers for scenario B. There will be 7 pointers too

[void lintel]

At which point half Attention loss but more than half EXP score becomes a net gain

[mortal turtle]

that's what I was looking for

[lusty hazel]

I think I’m confused now

[glad acorn]

Just think of Jenga. You get less point moving one stick but at least you don't go for the juicier one and crumble the stack

[void lintel]

I don't understand what the benefit was, waiting for the present before getting max vibes

[lusty hazel]

Presents multiplies scores

[glad acorn]

Present multipliers apply at the end

[void lintel]

across the entire interaction, including before the present was given

[glad acorn]

So it doesn't matter when you play it

[lusty hazel]

Ohhh wtf

[void lintel]

2 x 1.3 = 1.3 x 2

[lusty hazel]

That’s so simple

[glad acorn]

It's okay. Math can be confusing

[lusty hazel]

There’s no actual strategy

[void lintel]

There's some strategy if you're doing the savescum method to skip buying Boost Juices

Although if you do buy Boost Juices, there is a slight strategy as well

[lusty hazel]

Have not tried that method yet

[void lintel]

No Boost Juice: reset until you get Max Vibes on exactly turn 2

With Boost Juice. Reset until you force a Max Vibes on exactly turn 3

[glad acorn]

The only strat I think of

[sudden forum]

Reset?

[lusty hazel]

This I like this

[void lintel]

Yeah, you can savescum as long as you haven't picked the convo topic that would have brought the convo to an end

So you can reset for an optimal opener

[lusty hazel]

Yeah I heard the first 3 convo are free

[void lintel]

The first two are.

The third is not.

[sudden forum]

What by closing the app during an interaction or something?

[void lintel]

Exactly

[lusty hazel]

Oh… just 2 huh

[glad acorn]

I'd argue against starting max vibe on third topic. Someone did it in this channel and his interaction ended at 5th (after max vibe)

[void lintel]

If your convo is interrupted by the app closing (or in my case, once, crashing) before the final turn, you will be refunded all your stuff

[glad acorn]

Any attention not 100% has a risk

[void lintel]

Interactions, items, presents

[void lintel]

I said to do it with Boost Juice

Which forces Max Vibes

And the convo cannot end on the turn that triggered Max Vibes

[mortal turtle]

wait, so you can use all interactions and itens, choose the first topic and if you don't like the second one, just close the game and restart?

[void lintel]

Exactly

[glad acorn]

You still lose attention on 3rd topic. Someone in this channel got hit by that

Unless Boost Juice gives a free attention boost

[void lintel]

It's still better, my dude. The Max Vibes lands later in the convo and thus blocks higher-Attention-loss turns

[wide sorrel]

If it trigger max vibes it can’t end that turn

[void lintel]

It literally says this in the tutorial, yeah

[glad acorn]

No, but it ends after the max vibe

[void lintel]

Boost Juice forces it

[ripe gorge]

When is the best time to give presents?

[wide sorrel]

It doesn’t tho. I’m pretty sure it ended after choosing the question after max vibe

[void lintel]

I think the odds of the convo ending on that turn # are higher with Turn 2 Max Vibes

[hard badger]

What is the argument here? We shouldn't do early max vibes because it can end early?

[glad acorn]

#1012298913279127582 message

This guy got cut off since he got 95%'d on third topic, the exact time he got into max vibe

[hard badger]

So what are you proposing instead?

[alpine flare]

max vibe turn 2?

[wide sorrel]

Im pretty this is a max vibe turn 2

And ended turn 5 at 95%

[glad acorn]

Yea, 2nd topic, while you still have 100%.

[void lintel]

Basically you can either max vibes turn 3 and end up at 95% attention on turn 5
Or max vibes on turn 2 and end up at less than 95% attention on turn 5

[glad acorn]

Keep reading. I asked him question and he replied in turn

[void lintel]

One of these is actually worse than the other

[gusty topaz]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[void lintel]

Yes, until max vibes ends of course

[wide sorrel]

He could also just remember wrong tho

[glad acorn]

Too recent to remember it wrong

[void lintel]

Nah, the numbers support his claim

[wide sorrel]

His claim go against all other claims tho

[void lintel]

If it was max vibes turn 2, the final attention% would not be 95%. It would be lower

Because the attention drop would have been that of a later turn

[glad acorn]

What other claim outside of "You can get 95%'d getting into max vibe?"

[void lintel]

They got 95%'d and the dropout happened as max vibe terminated

[glad acorn]

We all know that the topic that starts max vibe can also end the interaction. It just extends it by two with Max Vibe

[wide sorrel]

The turn max vibe triggering can also end the conversation

[glad acorn]

Exactly

[gusty topaz]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[void lintel]

The probability of this is still lower than that of Max Vibing on turn 2 and losing from a normal turn 5 attention drain

[wide sorrel]

It still more advantageous to trigger turn 3 with boost juice even if this is the case

[void lintel]

I think so.

[glad acorn]

I'm curious on whether if you can reset if you get 95%'d starting max vibe on 3rd topic. I think not

[lusty hazel]

So if you pick same location that triggers the max vibes it ends the convo?

[void lintel]

I think so, but I'm not about to try it because that would involve spending crystals on Boost Juice instead of presents

[glad acorn]

No, what I mean is that topic is the last topic of the interaction, but since you start max vibe, you get to add two more

[void lintel]

It can't autosave until it has the results of your dialogue choices

So it will be savescummable

Because you haven't picked your last two topics yet

The thing can't read the future.

[glad acorn]

That said, I'll still support 2nd topic max vibe. It's definitely safer

[void lintel]

It isn't. It just saves crystals that would be spent on boost juice, and the resulting presents you can buy might make it more profitable

[glad acorn]

Easier to reset then

[void lintel]

But I would definitely consider it more in danger of convo dropout on turn 5 than using boost juice and forcing max vibes on turn 3

[next sorrel]

What are the two big 10/1/1/10 teams that have been made so far that cover A and B?

[void lintel]

I think I saw something like that in the spreadsheet in the pins

Second link in the first pin, I think

[next sorrel]

They don’t have one for team a 10/1/1/10

Unless I’m blind lmao. Could be a good possibility

[glad acorn]

The most I can get is 10/1/1/9 since I don't have SS Gio

[next sorrel]

I have SS gio

if that makes a difference

[glad acorn]

#1012298913279127582 message

Try this?

[lusty hazel]

I see 2 teams with 10,1,1,10

[glad acorn]

Aye, SS Lusamine. That can be troublesome

[next sorrel]

For team A?

I also have luSSa

[glad acorn]

Check the link I put up then

[void lintel]

If I lucksacc Redchu early, I'll have plenty of gems left over to finally maybe be able to spend on an SSGio banner

...Hopefully combined with SSMorty for a Johto Villain rerun or something

[hard badger]

Ss gio is a paid banner even if you don't get lucky with Red I wouldn't use those gems for a regular banner

[lusty hazel]

Im thinking of SS Gio banner. The Ash bundle is quite good

[glad acorn]

To spend 5k for a guarantee, or 50 dailies?

I'm so close to get SS Gio just for his expedition bonus

[void lintel]

Ash's bundle is about equivalent to doing a bunch of daily discount pulls all at once, huh...

[hard badger]

Saves you 1 daily but loses 10 scout points

I don't think it's worthwhile

[wind badger]

Dailies have given me ptsd

[glad acorn]

I can understand that

[wind badger]

Probably never pulling dailies again. Been shafted in way too many banners

[sudden forum]

The naïveté, if you don't think paid gems are being swung at all these anniversary banners.

[lusty hazel]

I had good luck on dailies

[hard badger]

Be that as it may I would never recommend someone do so

[void lintel]

Ash's bundle was accompanied by "1 USD for exactly enough paid gems to spend on Ash's bundle"

[wind badger]

Tbh, id rather just use that 1k on ash than 10 dailies. Itd work out the same anyway

[glad acorn]

Get Ash bundles. Keep it for other banners

[void lintel]

I lucksacced Ash, though, so I might use these on seasonal dailies... keeping a reserve for Masters Day scouts of course

[glad acorn]

Damn, we are going off topic. Losing attention like fast

[void lintel]

Time for me to drop outta the convo (to get ready for work tomorrow)

No more max vibin' here

[wind badger]

Well lodge has nothing going on other than waiting

[wind badger]

95%

See you golks later

[wind badger]

Bye

[hard badger]

Best of luck with Red

[alpine flare]

i would want to keep the 1k and buy 600 more in case of any good 1.5k banner

[lusty hazel]

I hope DeNA improves Lodge

[glad acorn]

Well, outside of thinking up better strats for easier interactions, not much to talk about

There will be some clueless folks coming in asking what to do and what not

[wind badger]

And when RNG is in the play, you can only plan so much

[sudden forum]

Well I think it'd help if it was in the pins, I'll add resetting interactions to the faq pin.

[glad acorn]

Even if rng, you need to know what cards you can keep

[wind badger]

In saying that, there should be a PSA about soft resetting

And resetting when convo about to end

Learned the hard way 😂

[glad acorn]

Resetting during the pair mid animation can even void the whole attempt.

Lost a 6x that way

Yup. Items spent but 0 xp gained

[wind badger]

Yep

[alpine flare]

?? what animation

[wind badger]

Glad only did x1

[glad acorn]

You know when the pair is feeling your topic? That's mid animation

[wind badger]

You cant “reset” or close app once you’ve chosen a topic

[alpine flare]

i see, unfortunate

[wind badger]

Game only allows you to do it when you havent clicked on anything

[glad acorn]

If your app suddenly closes itself during it, that's a void interaction

[alpine flare]

wow, literally unplayable

compensation soon

[glad acorn]

I heard from someone that apparently poce mentioned about reset in lodge. Go yell at him if it ever got patched

[wind badger]

Tbh, i csnt be bothered to reset anymore

I just tried it when N decided to quit on me at 95%

[glad acorn]

I need to catch up since I lost that 6x

[sudden forum]

I thought you could reset as long as the convo hasn't ended?

[glad acorn]

Yes, but don't do it mid animation. It can actually void that interaction

Reset when the 3 topics are clickable
Reset when the zoom in etc

[alpine flare]

can you choose the pic that appears in the page before expeditions?

[glad acorn]

Go to your scrapbook. Favorite the one you want

[alpine flare]

i don't like the second pic, looks like a picture taken off guard, like a paparazzi

oh, i didn't see the heart button, thank you

[fierce mica]

basically reset before you choose any option

got it

[glad acorn]

Yup

Else you are gonna feel the burn from voiding a 6x. I know I did

[alpine flare]

so, if you have aura cynthia you get her picture, but can't invite her to longue?

[sharp solar]

Yup

[alpine flare]

that is wack

[glad acorn]

OG Cynthia and nothing else

[alpine flare]

hello we are not friends but have my picture

[glad acorn]

that's why I'm haggling on whether to get Diantha but then again, she will get her monthly banner when she's added

[sudden forum]

So EOS before gets into the Lodge.

[glad acorn]

Wake getting added will be a meme. And I like that guy

TEAM A with Omni

Kanto (Fiery/Soothing farm)

[thick widget]

omg where is surge emote

[sudden forum]

TEAM B with Rare Extract
0/0/10/10
Johto/Alola (Wistful/Cache farm)

[void lintel]

To think this would be the thing that makes me most regret skipping that banner...

[glad acorn]

Which? Ss Gio?

[void lintel]

Yeah.

[sudden forum]

Team A with Omni
1/10/1/10
Sinnoh (Soothing/Cache farm)

[glad acorn]

I still prefer team Kalos and Alola if you want a balanced build. Need SS Lusamine though

[void lintel]

Staying up this late may have given me mild ADHD but suddenly I have Questions about that one Deerling that hangs around the lodge

...It's not wild.
There are no wild Pokémon on Pasio.

Whose is it????

[thick widget]

we all know that Deerling is cute

[sudden forum]

Team B with Rare Extract
10/0/0/10
Alola (Fiery/Cache farm)

[glad acorn]

Trinnia, probably

[thick widget]

thats a sign of MC & Deerling

[void lintel]

The café sister?

[glad acorn]

They say no wild pokemon but Belllis has been throwing a lot of eggmons into the woods. Courtesy of Scottie

[void lintel]

We're gonna have a very weird version of Kanto's ecosystem, then...

[glad acorn]

There is no explanation on how you come across eggs whilst training

Ramos "Oh, you beat me. Here's a couple of eggs for ya"

[void lintel]

There is. "Received eggs from Professor Bellis!" pops up when it happens

[glad acorn]

Yeah, but how does she get them?

Like, we already have a breeder npc on pasio so it's not too farfetched Lear gets them to help to populate Pasio

[sudden forum]

Oh you think she lets those eggs go. Who do you think has been supplying Pasio with food?

[glad acorn]

Right, all those free accommodations will have to get from somewhere. Unless Lear family is literal oil tycoon

[viscid sparrow]

Who has the best Pokémon on paper for the lodge

Like who is optimal to chase first

[onyx quarry]

I think like most free options the supports are best

More supports is always good. Gastrodon raises crit which is always nice to have

[sudden forum]

Yeah going for Blue & Cynthia first.

[viscid sparrow]

Those just happen to be the ones that I would’ve done lol but I wasn’t sure even how good they were

[sudden forum]

I see Silver's Feraligatr beating ssGrimsley on the charts.

[onyx quarry]

I think mechanically marnie and lillie are the most underwhelming

[glad acorn]

Well, one has 6ex so that makes a difference

[distant ember]

it's because they're going to patch out ss grimsley to make room for matt & sharpedo

[sudden forum]

[jovial moon]

qn is 8187 and 8817 good combos?

do i need 10s

[sudden forum]

Most of the info I've gleaned as been to do 10 cache in both teams, and alternate colors

[ashen wasp]

who knew Lodge would be this deep?

it's kind of funny tbh, first it was Gauntlet enthusiasts, now it's this lol

[sudden forum]

This mode gives me more anxiety than 3.5k Master Mode

[ashen wasp]

yeah, I'm ready to flip a table whenever May ends my interactions early

[carmine pilot]

[halcyon seal]

Had a good day today. High risk high reward. Maybe tomorrow I get screwed.

[carmine pilot]

Noice!

I'm sick of getting screwed, so keep going for average singles

[jovial moon]

is it possible to do w/o ssgio?

[ripe schooner]

I should buy this every reset right?

[carmine pilot]

10 got double drops than 7 iirc
Better to aim at 10 most of the cases

[carmine pilot]

Yes
If you keep 2 teams hunting for chests you'll get enough materials to cover it

I have an overflowing of it

Without lacking any other materials for the interaction items

[sudden forum]

Check the maelmc's excel sheet in the pins
I think the only non-limited unit you can use for high chests is Masked Royal
The others are ssLusamine and ssrCynthia

[keen wolf]

If only we can convert them to lower tier

[ashen wasp]

such privilege that guy got

[jovial moon]

yeah i think i can only hit 10 for 1 😦 unless i take the purp extract and forego the level 1s

[next junco]

bruh chest is best way to grind silver crystal it gave me enough to buy 10 silver gift, juice and still have 900 left

[past dune]

yes sir yes sir

[keen wolf]

How the hell

[next junco]

feel happy with next interaction

[jovial moon]

yeah but its not even out ._.

[past dune]

wut?

[terse raft]

hey guys, something i am quite unsure of is, when clicking on hot topic, is it grantee that we get into max vibes right away?
or only when using boost juice only it would be grantee?

[past dune]

boost juice makes it so first hot topic is always max vibes otherwise it's rng

[terse raft]

ahh ic

cos i was looking at reddit someone talking about not using boost juice strategy and i was wondering how did they grantee would trigger the max vibes

so its basically still rng for max vibes

[past dune]

yea they're just rnging for the max vibes lol

it could not happen if you're really unlocking and boost juice guarantees it

[alpine flare]

you can quit the game to reset the conversation if you did not get max vibes when you want

but only quit on the screen when you select a topic

[shrewd gorge]

Maybe I should be farming double chest instead of only one chest

[glad acorn]

One 10 chest should be enough to get you 3 interactions unless you are really unlucky

[astral trench]

Damn

[worldly ivy]

<-- she who is really unlucky

[jovial moon]

Is it a good idea to get like a 8619 and 7178
Or shld I flex it to 7 5 0 10 and 6 0 6 9

I was thinking maybe 8619 and 6069 so I get +1 to all to make the chest 10 when I get the cheer on

[next junco]

Just get double chest and 1 color on both team

[jovial moon]

I tried that but I'm having a shortage of 1 of the colours

For the daily interactions

[vernal shadow]

The next tranche of Trainer Lodge trainers, to me, will be:

[alpine flare]

joe

[vernal shadow]

Misty; Lyra; Steven; Barry; Bianca; Cheren; Serena; Hau and Hop

[vernal shadow]

mama

[alpine flare]

ain't no way cheren coming the way dena treating him 💀

[vernal shadow]

replace him with

Nate

[worldly ivy]

I want cheren so badddddd

[jovial moon]

Let cheren 1st have an expanded grid please

[quasi sigil]

give cheren grid first 💀

[alpine flare]

he's literally one of the last two story pair to not get a grid?

just him and torchic

[worldly ivy]

give him a grid but if I had to choose between a grid or him in lodge....... I ain't using him in battle regardless so 😶 add him to lodge Now dena this is a threat

[ashen wasp]

you forgot Norman

understandable tho, he is terrible lol

[alpine flare]

hum i am just looking at the candy tierlist

seems whoever made the pic forgot norman

[quasi sigil]

the only 5* remaining to not have grid

[quasi sigil]

because why would you candy norman if he doesn't have a grid yet

[ashen wasp]

no, Torchic and Cheren are in, they just missed the guy

[hard badger]

He's a 3/5 easier to justify candy

[quasi sigil]

wait really

[alpine flare]

this part

[hard badger]

Wow Jessie was included but not Falkners dad

[worldly ivy]

Falkner's dad

[ashen wasp]

huh? Norman is Brendan's father

[worldly ivy]

poor norman 😭

[hard badger]

One of them sure

[worldly ivy]

first being left out of the tierlist and now being mistaken for another kid's dad

[jovial moon]

send them an email

[hard badger]

Not a mistake Falkner mentions it

[alpine flare]

yes norman the bird master

[hard badger]

The pokemon he used (normal type) belonged to his father who isn't there anymore (moved away)
