First time using bot in this server
But this is fantastic for if someone else asks for help
There’s a bot channel?
#bot-zone
#bot-zone
Ohh thanks
So we have two bot channels 
3
I'm suspicious of it
See, no convo option will spawn more than once per conversation, even if you don't select it
Feel Ring summons all the Hot Topic options early
So there are none left for the later, costlier turns
I've been trying an experimental method where I use a Boost Juice and not a Feel Ring; I reset if no Hot Topic spawns on Tier 3 to force Max Vibes on that turn
How has that been working?
Seems to be going well but it's only been like two and a half days
So I need a bigger sample size to be sure
You can feel free to try it too, or you can keep doing the Feel Ring method
I tried boost juice no feel ring method and I got this. This is a one off
I'll try that tomorrow
yeah, that's a fair observation, i will try it out
a 3x multiplier interaction should be enough for lv94 to 100? I wouldn't want to waste my extra interaction on the trainer that already reached lv100
gold gift of course, but you may not be able to afford them everytime
I'd suggest 80%, you may not even reach 70% cause the interaction could end before that
ok
people complained about the lodge but it took 2 and a half weeks to get the lodge pair and thats with getting the slots, not knowing what to do at the start and waiting for resources to stack
I guess, regardless, it's still pretty dumb that interaction can end super early
like at 94% for example
which pair is the better lodge pair, sliver, lillie, or rosa
Lillie's primary competition is Mina. Has there been a comparison done yet?
Silver and Rosa compete with each other and with Barry
Barry's a Striker but... well, his skillset makes him basically a weak but accessible Tech
No DPS but a powerful sync snipe
With an AoE nuke instead of a 1.5x when EX'd
Yeah, though that means EXing him instead of someone else
I think Silver would be better than Rosa though
Since Silver can also lower defenses
All supports are nice, techs are ok as well
Rosa is Budget Nessa
But also freeze
striker not that much
And flinch
I swear sometimes the rng chooses to not give me any at all 
With the ring equipped too
Must be those lovely 1%
I'll try few runs without feel ring
when I done with blue
Sycamore's Bulbasaur is amusing but Sycamore's Xerneas is already a very competent grass attacker
only glasses and shovel
There's also the free Gardenia. I don't know if she's as good at 1/5 though
Actually maybe we should reevaluate how good the freebie 4star picks are, considering the new Lodge pairs
Gardenia, Marshall, Roxie... Noland? And was there another?
Hm, similar niche to Barry considering the poor normal-move DPS
Siebold can put a good number on Entei
Water sync nuke
i already have neesa 3/5
If you already have Nessa, you might not need Rosa/Dewott
so sliver or lillie
I'd say Siebold is better than Barry since he literally has everything. SpAtk buff, crit and sure crit. Oh heal and regen too
diathea
Actually what's your best three options for Fairy attacking, just in case
Hm... Barry can do some of it but perhaps not as well as Siebold can, and no sure crit. You might have a point 
diathena, sycamore, and mina
Of course Barry has Super Heal, which is good in some match ups
But really, blasting down Entei with Siebold got me convinced
Diantha doesn't work well with Sycamore unless you've got a whole separate buffer... Hm.
Of course, the problem with water type is we also have a powerful f2p option in Cyrus
Does Lillie's kit work better than Mina's, and better enough to use her over Mina?
Not really
i think imma gator
So Lillie vs Mina is AnniN vs Ghetsis. One AoE drop or two singletarget drops
Lillie might have the strong sync move however
Lillie provides Trap, Mina provides DPS via Play Rough
Sure does. Super Prep 9 on grid for TM
Yes, but then you're giving up some other multipliers
Hm, Lillie's AoE is grass but I don't know how to feel about that
Her SpAtk is fine, though. 356 at 5star plus multipliers
Well it would be the same bp wise
Dgleam is 60 BP
Petal Blizzard is 120
So on type that is
It should be the same
Hm, a fair point...
Only impacted by which stats are raised and if there is sentry/wise entry
Although you should use Mina on wise entry regardless
Since Lillie's sync is special
If it's wise entry, Lillie's stuck anyway since her sync is special and that's so much of her kit
Hmm, having Wrap alone can make Lillie a consideration. We know we need all the interferences for Uxie
...Gah wasn't there a Wise Entry fairy-weak CSMM
there is, in Sinnoh
Wrap with griddable Pokey Trap 2, no less
So in one of the most key fights for Fairy attackers, Lillie's hamstrung anyway
but it's the champion and she's easily offtypeable
I actually thought Lodge Lillie was a support
I was considering investing more in Summer Marnie a wise entry x2 fairy stage would probably break me
Comfey doesn't give off an assasination vibe, no
comfy
Very comfy
Comfily gets rid of you 
Let's see what Dewott has...
Aqua Jet is kinda nice for gauge-starved teams... TM gives gauge accel field!
Fast setup, too. +3 crit with one use of TM
Natively has On A Roll for def down shenanigans
I don't see Double Drop here so she might need help with that
1/5 Summer Marnie with 3/5 Gladion does fine against Fairy Weak Cynthia
Griddable Staggering 1 is funny but hard to rely on
Atk is very usable. 376 at 5star
Now let's check Feraligatr
Agg1, H.Env2, OaR3. Quite the Tech-y Tech we have here
Silver doesn't have good sync multipliers in grid either
The two might work well together
Liquidation + Razor Shell to break defenses fast
And interference sync is a lot more rng dependent
So Rosa has the raw damage whereas Silver emphasizes sabotage
Could put one of them on the same team as Nessa in fact
...If you have another source of rain...
SS Kris is the only good one, but depending on the scenario, it would probably be overkill
Especially in Gauntlet
Using Archie, winona, or tech gyara would result in either gauge or tanking issues
So we're looking at
Barry with the advantages of being 3star (very plentiful candies), not needing to rely on debuffing the enemy for Inertia, and partial self-reliance on buffs
Rosa with the best normal-move DPS, possibly the best sync snipe, and the best self-buff, plus some team utility via accel field
and Silver with the strongest sabotage capability and middle-of-the-road DPS but a weaker sync snipe
I'm not sure how to evaluate Siebold here since a newbie would be recommended not to candy him and can't exactly get extra dupes from the Lodge as is possible for Rosa and Silver
Winona + Silver might be okay; both of them have self Speed
So your third member doesn't need it
But then who is the third member, argh
Might run into those tanking issues then
Winona can also activate interference sync quite well actually
I can never remember which is Slash and which is Cutter
Yes
Air slash
Well you'd probably want someone who can max out Silver's attack and crit
And speed
Hilbert is an obvious contender
Natch
Adding more to flinch spam
All fun and games as long as the boss doesn't have escalating Flinch resist or Resilience
Only issue I can see then is for longer battles
They could struggle against Entei for sure
Despite flinch spam
Well perhaps not struggle
But have rng issues
Indeed... Rosa alleviates gauge issues too, but she's only got 1 MP for her gauge accel field and 3 shots of no-gauge Aqua Jet before that function's gone
she can get more MP for Aqua Jet
...By spending gauges
And also gridding for it... is there energy for that in an LA build? 
Was Entei in the next LG? This might be relevant sooner than I thought...
Probably the easiest cause of Latios existing
Cobalion was... Status Conditions and Azelf was... I can never remember which one was Uxie and which was Azelf
Uxie is the menace that wants status change and status
Ah, that one
Azelf... im not sure if i ever fought it
Not the defense-switch one
defense-switch? Doesn't Cresselia also do that?
Nnnnno?
The lake-guardian-that-isn't-the-status-shenanigan-one alternates between a passive skill that nearly nulls phys attacks and another one that nearly nulls special attacks
Lusamine is particularly helpful because she's mixed so she can hit both halves
Defense switch is for azelf
I see, so units like Zekrom
Unlike Cresselia, syncs aren't affected by the passive untul the 3rd bar
I mean, Zekrom works on both the lake guardians anyway
So something like Lillie can work on Azelf
Lillie's fairy attack doesn't have the BP 
Well, AnniLillie can do it because Moongeist Beam has the Piercing Blows effect
So you can just nuke with strong techs too? I see
and third bar requires physical or special
lots of lodge stones 😳
Cress is just a bigger Azelf if we want to classify her. Self buff to absurd level while blocking damage from even sync move. Azelf takes full damage from sync move except during the last bar
Oh, don't forget that toxic and paralyse
The frustrating thing about Cress is that you only have one Sycamore to hardcounter her
And no, I don't think the Bulbasaur will help here
Azelf is the tutorial boss and Cresselia is the final boss
You can still sleep azelf iirc
Cresselia can't be statused
Right, Cress blocks status from 2nd onward. What an annoying rubber duck
Cress is when it's time for AI to have fun. Moltres too but that one can be hardcountered 
But yeah, I don't think any of the lodge pairs are tailored for cress.
You will need a strong SpAtk debuffer. Lillie comes close but it's 50% with Satisfied Snarl 4
Lillie is definitely the closest
Physical and special(albeit little and only really through sync)
And can lower sp atk
But you need other units to deal with status
Don't forget about the evasion

Karen post upgrade might be good versus Cress too
I got 50 lodge stones from chests today
Nice good 1%
sigh I still haven't gotten anything exceptionally nice from 3* chests
10 more scout ticket it fall down like rain drop
Personally happy for new players that they are more common
Easier to build up a collection

I'm more worried when my level 10 collected 20 chests for a day. That's some bad rng 
Is that possible...? My first instincts would be to check Hoenn and/or Kanto
That's the two regions with both a red and a yellow bonus
probably cheer only. closest without cheer is probably:
Team A - 9/7/1/7
Steven+May+Wally+Noland+Archie/Maxie+Brawly with omni
thanks
I have this:
Team A - 10/7/0/6
Selene Kahili
Nanu Sophocles(Togedemaru)
Lusamine Plumeria
Rare Extract```
...Actually that could be 10/7/1/6 on team B with Omni
Alola to the rescue!
Arceus bless its comically large number of +3s
Guys, what are the "best" pairs to get in the lodge?? I'm finishing Blue and wanted to see who to go next (I don't have Cynthia nor Marnie)
Maybe Lillie for a fairy sync snipe
Depending on your water-type situation, there's also your pick between Silver and Rosa
If you have May, I feel like you could just use her Swampert instead of her Wailmer
Too much water in Hoenn indeed... Maybe IGN was right
silver is a LG flincher / freezer so there's that
Between Silver and Rosa, Silver has better sabotage options whereas Rosa has better damage output (both from regular moves and from sync)
They could also actually work together with each other, or with Nessa
Then I think I'll go Silver, already have strong DPS for fairy/water
Silver has Liquidate and enough innate On A Roll to get 80% Def Down on it; Rosa has Razor Shell and enough On A Roll for 100% Def Down on it; both have "stack Def Down" for their innate sync multiplier
N/Sigilyph is also an option for an extra sleep user against Azelf in the upcoming legendary gauntlet
Hm, almost forgot about that
N also has a funny advantage in that he has a same-region source of Psy Terrain (Bianca)
And who else is going to make use of her? Caitlyn?
I heard he also may enable spammable sleep-chaining by himself because his passive procs after Hypnosis, but haven't seen if anyone tested it yet
many will have it in few days
I might do Silver or Blue next
Do we know how many lodge stones it costs for lodge dupes? Some people have reached 100 now
500
Almsot spent them on more certificates so thanks
Unless you trying to get support dupes, might be better to use candy
Im sure you have a surplus of striker candy like everyone else
I'm working on Blue and then Cynthia so I'll grind two dupes each but yeah will use candy after
If it's true that it's 500, then the grinding is done on the way to 100 in the first place
100 levels are 1,000 stones
And that buys you two dupes with no fuss
Unless you use it to buy lvl150 certs
Hahahaha that's what I was about to do
Oh I realised I should be saving the stones hey 💀
I didn’t realise they were used for pair dupes
I’ve been using them for sync orbs
I mean 4* candies aren’t in that high of demand
Hm... On the one hand, Lv150 certs are primarily obtained from stones
On the other hand, most players need approximately twenty hojillion co-op orbs so maybe that's an actually good idea?
I've actually managed to reach the point where I no longer need orbs, but... I gotta keep in mind that most people haven't
I don't feel like I need that many orbs at this point
Yeah, I actually was unable to receive the daily login orbs a few times last month
Out of grids to fill
the lodge chests drop a lot of orbs too
I thought I was at that point but with so many units dropping at once, I'm back to like 40k orbs
Yeah, I'm weirdly glad that so many units released at once-- so I can expend my hecking orbs and stop feeling restricted by the 99999 cap
It mostly was annoying because the daily login orbs could not be claimed from the inbox
So it would sit with the red (!) forever

Red and ... ! go together
I was idly considering ungridding my Pikachu just to exchange the orbs at a loss, so that I could claim them
I dunno, i still think i’ll just be using candies on strikers and only buy dupes for supports and maybe techs
I need my favorites at 150 
I'm just gonna make one of my units to 150 (Ash) and then I'll prolly focus on the sync pairs
Funnily, they've already done this once
The cap used to be 9999. It was horrifically restrictive
Couldn't hold more than one character's worth of orbs in stockpile in case you needed to suddenly grid two people to counter a new boss
They probably didn't foresee the 9999cap being a problem at launch because sync orbs used to take foooooreverrrrr to farm
Remembers original Mewtwo coop and Prestige
Character-specific level up drinks for the legendaries...

And specific megaphones, too
Same
I remember having Oak sitting at 100 for a long long time because of that shit
Back when he was meta
It's so blasted surprising that the addition of stamina-- because a full overhaul to the game's reward structure accompanied it-- made the game so much better
got 6 gold gifts for today
I was mad about stamina but then after the legendary grindfests...it's a blessing
maybe with some luck can get rosa to 100
i wouldnt mind a grind for some vanity stuff tho
like lodge furniture that doesnt matter
else itll be tomorrow
or trophies you can put there for doing stuff like 50x streak in LG
or for csmm 4.3k
manually grind some 3* gear to max not on masters day
shame DeNa doesn't like that kinda stuff, the mainline pokemon games like that kind of attention to detail sometimes
if you want to experience old masters
Just bring on Hard Mode lvl2
i think that will be mostly for older CS stages like Kanto to get an upgrade
The days when people would dump you in the middle of a match if you didn't have Lycanroc
Ex coop
It just bugs me to see that Level 1 text for so long and havent seen any update
being honest tho, they might have forgotten about it already
They need to give more veteran players to do. Even if its for cosmetics
I think Level 2 is inevitable given the caliber of units we're getting these days
Like 10k MM isnt enough these days tbh
its pretty dumb having multiple units that can solo clear 2k
i'd want to see more modifiers tho, so weaker teams can still do it if they plan well
Having lodge is the perfect excuse to give out ridiculous cosmetics for doing hard shit
And steel weak
Or
Red doesn't even have that much Atk, he just has an amazing skillset
One of em is enough to dismantle it again
Maybe have the other in reserve to offtype something 
Red can pretty much Solo all the CS stages at this point
Just use the other Red
Fire-weak is very easy
Whats the gimmick?
29k hp
You have Silver, Redzard, Bluecanine
I forget, did Fighting-weak Unova have evasion nonsense?
Proceeds to nuke for 45k anyway
i'm talking SST Red solo
if you take too much attack you will have to reset quite a bit
tfw his kit would resemble Volkner's if Volt Tackle didn't have a comical number of Buddy Move modifiers on it
Recoil Removal, Extend Range, Piercing Blows
You can always grid him to flinch
i love how fancy buddy move is
50% flinch is pretty riddic
even when it's queued there's this aurora borealis effect
and the trainer appears when using it
And yeah, Red-chu can grid for the rest of Volkner's kit (50% flinch and paralyze)
wonder if i have the patience to solo some CS battles tomorrow
I know i would
Volkner's kit was already pretty darn good; Red is what happens when you add Protagonism to it
Coz nothing else to do
It's comical really
their main difference is strong coverage moves at 3/5
Self contained field-effect deployer and enjoyer in one?
And AoE, and field extension
...The field extension being what separates them from May
FRLG was my first pokemon game so I'm going to 3/5 him tomorrow, probably
insane amount of nostalgia with Red, even if he's a bit too quiet
His Sync Pair Story, though
and needs mommy Leaf to speak to him
Brock and Surge having almost exactly the same experience with him as their anime versions did with Ash
Misty didn't because Ash's Pikachu refused to fight Misty
yeah
Poor Red didn't know about the Mankeys to the west of Viridian City, I'm guessing
For all the promo about it, the two of them never directly interacted in the events and I just find that so funny
Those're the key to taking down Brock without driving yourself insane if you picked Charmander
metal claw at lvl 14
Right? It's cool that Red was inspired by Ash but Ash never meets Red and that's funny
Yeah, this helps-- it's still risky since FRLG Brock's signature attack is Rock-type though
Mankey resists it
yeah but Onix, let's be honest, has horrible stats
I think it might also be a higher level than you're expected to reach at that point
Mankey's Low Kick is available much earlier IIRC and works great there
i'm a squirtle enjoyer so i didnt have any issue
Same.
part of the reason why I want Green in the game
she could have that true striker/tech Blastoise
From a nostalgia standpoint I am at least glad DeNa gave them great compatability
But I did do another playthrough with a Charmander just to see how it goes, and I'm glad I remembered those Mankeys...
...
Because they were added to that zone in Pokémon Yellow
Just go in overleveled like always 
This became easy to do starting with the Kalos gen
Not so much in FRLG...
I dont think i ever needed a mankey for brock
Needed, no
But it helps a lot
Those Mankeys were also the key to winning against Brock in Yellow when you were stuck with a Pikachu
They weren't there in Red/Blue
So if you picked Charmander, o o f (Metal Claw did not even exist)
Like... what're your other options until then
Ratatta (Bite without STAB vs high defense; in Gen1 it has STAB but was Normal so it was resisted)
Pidgey (Normal is resisted, Flying is resisted, Flying is weak to Rock)
Bugs from Viridian (Bug is resisted, Poison Sting is weak, Bug is weak to Rock, Butterfree has Confusion which is not resisted but Butterfree is double weak to Rock)
Did the Nidorans have Double Kick? I forget
In mainline yes
@void lintel oh right, regarding the Mood Shovel, in jp, it's motto shaberu (Speak more)
A pun, huh
Jp and its word pun 
Not a bad bilingual pun
I guess I'm mildly impressed that they managed to keep some wordplay in the EN name
And relevant to the item's function no less
I can imagine it being a gadget from Doraemon 
A shovel-shaped microphone that keeps the other person interested (diggin' it) for longer
Dig-It Shovel
yeah, the item names in japanese are mostly puns and I live for that
Never actually thought I would get one. It was a good day , a candy coin and lvl 100 from Cynthia
People are reaching level 100 already
Meanwhile I'm still at level 20 for 1 unit
I'm working on 2 units at once so my progress is slow
also because of one those units is Silver and he just despises me, I think
it seems Silver despises everyone
I was gonna do Blue next but noticed N has +2 chst so I'll do him first then Blue.
even professor elm counts as his friends and is worth 10 points 
IIRC Elm forgave him for stealing the Pokémon when he saw it was happy with him
Maybe that's why
the only Friends topic who isn't in Silver's 10 point category is Bugsy, who's worth 7 points
I wonder why Bugsy is even included
glasses go brrrrrrr
If Silver was going to steal from Elm anyway why not take both remaining starters?
He probably saw Chikorita and was like "I'm good"
He only wanted the strongest, after all 
that was actually my first ever starter how dare you 
BRUH BLUE RAN AWAY AT 91 ATTENTION 
i had a streak of 10 levels a day and he's going to break it today at only like level 46
i couldn't even give him a gift
Lmfao
Ooh naise. Ty for sharing
HOLYSHIT I GOT TECH COIN FROM CYNTHIA
if you uninvite the pair from lodge do they keep the levels you already did with them?
😄
Started from 93, kept getting cut off that it took 5 interactions to get to 100 
rip dropped before getting to give a gift on a lazy x6
guess i can use these 6 silver gifts tmrw without buying a new set lol...
Lvl 97....i was so close
That's my best score so far
I managed to reach 11th topic...
So close I would say
Tomorrow I will be reaching lvl100


WTF?! Sycamore always cut off conversation when continuation rate drops to 90%. For me. 
lodge stone upgrades to lodge pairs cost 500 stones a piece
I guess it will be bit longer for me, most of my conversations today ended at 5th topic
now still 89
People seem to be trying out no feel ring, so I’ll be giving that a go now
i don't mind using all 3
Starting to hate this game mode ngl
I have N at 96 and blue at 11
luck's been mostly kinda bad with blue but still quite good with N
still hoping to get to 30 with blue before I finish up N's 100
feels less bad than kicking everyone out lol
lv100 reached
how did you get the x6??
using all 6 interactions at once
and how are you making enough stuff from expeditions to buy that gift?
oh i see.
is that the best way to do it?
If you're feeling lucky
It's no different except saving irl time
It makes you more susceptible to either good or bad luck though
I personally prefer doing each interaction separately because that's more consistent in the long run
well, the medium run
it doesn't matter in the long run
I got 100+ something each run. Marnie dodged my present 
i would be double my level
now either Blue or Cynthia
if blue didnt run away at 90
I'm gonna give her at 90% 
EVERY TIME
blue dodges every time
i hate him lmao
rng 
ok this can't be a coincidence
@void lintel i'm inclined to believe your theory (also sorry for the ping)
it feels much more consistent by using the boost juice instead of the feel ring
Marnie is now lvl97
So close right
From 83 to 97
My best score so far
I already prepared my gold gifts for Cynthia
Brought 3
today i actually had good interactions with n!! i got level 71 with him today
58 to 71 to be more specific
blue drops off so quickly for me im kinda forced to do one by one
congrats!
like..how
blue drops off at 90 for me pretty much everytime
glasses, boost juice and shovel
Didn't realize it's going to be another 500 relics for another copy for the sync level increase
saving the hot topic for the 3rd/4th interaction
unfortunately lodge is truly just luck
i've been getting bad interactions the last 2-3 days
today has been my best in a while
My "friend" stopped the conversation when attention was 90%. Really hate how RNG that it
but i always get below 100 because blue is a butthole
Thank you!
pts
im gonna save on my other 5 interactions for a big gift
but thats 1k ultra
idk if i can get that in a day
500 lodge stone rather
So it's either 1000 lodge stone to level 1 character from 140 to 150
or open up the gift chars full grid
I did 3x cause I used the remaining 3 on Rosa before to bring her to 100
question should i use my other 5 interactions with just silver gifts or wait for gold
so close
cause idk how people are at max when im at 48 i thought bad rng but
should i use all 5 interactions with silver gifts or try to get gold
I did it, the famous 0%
how many gifts can you give?
1 per interaction
Fellow french
Should be done with Marnie tomorrow
Blue next 

I'd probably need 2 more days with my abysmal luck 
for using 5 interactions
im at level 48 cause blue runs away at 90 every dang time
Tbh didn't expect to be that quick to 100, I remember people saying it would take months to level up to max someone

Got Cynthia to lv. 89 Friendship.
whats the most gold daily?
as in how many golf gifts
is it possible to get daily with the best expedition team
i'm not sure, i don't get gold gifts daily
you don't?!
damn my rng just
came from hell
thought i was doing something wrong

is it worth trying with 5 bronze
Good morning!!
or wait for silver
I mean if you can get silver do silver
If not do bronze
Don’t have to do your daily interactions right after reset
very true
Cyn gave me a 💍.
Put em on and make him wana marry me~🎵
Showtime 😳
will i get the 19 levels i need for today
or not
(probably not)
we win these
skin of my teeth though lol
exciting
Dunno who I’ll do next
maybe cynthia
or may
No achievements for going past 100
I guess save your keys until something is added
alas
theres a mission for multiple to 100 though
Average luck today with my new pair (blue) 
Wouldve gotten N today if not for that Mid-interaction Reset I did the other day 😦
same
i either hit the jackpot or it ends at like 95%
I reseted for 10-12 times for places
And when places came no hot topic after max vibe
And wasted my 4 interaction
300+ points

Never doing multiple ever again
my best run yet
I've two teams with 10/1/1/10
Gonna buy gold gifts and use them at ~80% anyway
Looks like resources with double 10 chests are quite abundant
Then, 96% shaft
Im convinced that If i keep talking to the same trainer every day in the lodge then theres an increasing chance i get stopped early in conversation
Does anyone have any proof for dis

Just a feeling but doubt it's a fact
I do Rosa everyday but I don’t think it’s boosting chances
Got my best day ever today
19 levels
Noice
That’s the more sensible thing
I just reset until 33 + max vibes by turn 3
Then hope I don’t get screwed
Normally how i get screwed
had 2 dead runs today
luckily cynthia still manage to reach 100
Well i got shafted today lol
Probably not as bad as that other guy who did X6 and only got 84 pts no gifts
That is me but split to 6
I'm tempted to give at 90% now
Not actually 80, but stopping at 100 is close enough 
Well i used 6 interaction, after 2 topics she left... 🙂
Like after it went under 100
Bam i was like ouch
No feel ring is kinda decent tbh, it just necessitates resets. But idk how much better to warrant the resets. Gotta see how it goes without it for longer
Also got greedy for absolutely 0 reason bringing her to 71 before wanting to use my gold present
L
I prob coulda had a 17~ level day today
I literally never give in to greed but just said fuck it for no reason 
Man talking to Silver takes too much reset
I'll just use all interaction at the same time
bruh i tried multi interaction today and it is truly hell... Had to reset so many to get hot topic because im stress and realized i did single


Grats!
Anything special past 100
Or just level up stuff
Lodge stones?
I feel the must have some endgame in the future
Or they just wanted it infinitely grind-able I guess
just lodge stones
Although it really couldn’t be that much work adding a pair or two each masters day
update was on 25th aug, and we shouldn't count the first day since it's new. so it's been 10 days and many people already got their 1st unit. 9 units will take at least 3 months. i'm sure they'll add more stuff and rewards
I thought it was gonna take months just to get 1 unit to 100, but it was quite fast
Around 9-10 days
well, now we also know what we are doing, and a lot of people have their expedition team going with 6 slot and consistently buying extra interaction
o it's only been 10 days???? so I'm gonna have to start someone after blue before datamine hopefully adds some more charas to lodge
I don't wanna do any more of the initial batch 
even with the worst luck i think at most it takes 2 weeks
assuming you buy 3 extra turns everyday
Tomorrow….
Honestly now that we've got a good stock of silver gifts we might as well use them primarily for the 1.3 multiplier
Like just use 1 when the topics are crap
% be damned
i bought too many silver gifts now i have 2 as leftover
Yeah lmao I got a few silvers and bronzes rotting in storage now
cant sell tho
Now i feel disgust when seeing bronze gift
I've got 10 bronze, 6 silver, and 1 gold gift for silver leftover after maxing him out
i stopped buy more gift since 3 day ago
I hope down the line they add more content for the existing pairs
I wanna spend more time with silver 
just did an interaction with blue and it's so weird after having focused on silver. like why are u so nice to me this is weirddddd 
Cynthia gave me a ring!
Does the ring on my finger tiktok dance


Understandable
I am here
yeah so repost that screenshot real fast
that seemed like a really low level up and points for that multiplier
are you using any of the topics guides or recommended items?
Oh
Just wait for tomorrow, he'll leave you at 95% just like Silver 
(also who are you leveling?)
alright so
Oh
you can check these for guides on which offer the most points
Nice
I didn't know we could pull that up😭
i don't want to butt-in of course but for that final attention
you could have gotten 10 levels at least
instead of 4
check also the first pin on Lethartist's guide on how to "proceed" usually
i'd advise dumping the feel ring and just focus on specs + juice
10 level for 3 interaction? 
Okay
yeah i got that today with Lillie
the issue we recently seem to aknowledge with feel ring is that
it brings all the better topics at the start, but then you're left with nothing when it matters later
so it can be a double edged sword
Ohhh that makes sense
I usually have nothing after hot topic
yeah that's why the feel ring can be dangerous
i genuinely have been having better interactions without it
last point is, most trainers prefer the lodge as a place to dialogue in
I feel like the juice also isn’t that useful because you’re gonna get max vibes anyway 90% of the time when you know the hot topic
yeah places influence which topics will appear for some pairs
like Cynthia prefers ruins
Wow
lodge/pasio is optimal for everyone except silver/cynthia iirc
I had no idea
cynthia ruins, silver battle villa
yeah there's a lot of hidden mechanics in this content lol
but anyway don't mind me, feel free to ask around if anything else, there's really good rewards behind it and it's always nice to optimize it a bit
wait how do you find that info?
and what does N like
Cynthia likes both pasio and pml though
It guarantees you can hit it on 3rd topic (with resets) which locks you in for 4 topics at least
i didn't, it's other people here that did, we added it to the pins
she does?
Thanks a lot for the advice: 
(pins are great also btw)
and /lodge command for topics guides! in #bot-zone
Juice is nice to reduce the amount of reset, it's not like you need those bronze crystal a lot
She does
Juice is silver though
Not bad for my 1st interaction with Cynthia
I also never run out of silver so same thing 
Lmao
Only Silver, lodge is optimal for everyone else
thank you!
Note the comments above.
Five topics.
I even, regrettably, have proof
If you thought it was bad to be 95%'d ...
It be like that sometimes
I want to go down to 80% to use my gold presents
I wasn't able to use my gold present today until the 6th interact
I thought id be luckier by doing 2 batches of 3 interactions
But i think ive been worse off
I wont get to 100 until wednesday at this rate
3mb
hopefully they fixed the bugs
And nothing in the news
first convo and silver leaves at 82% 
Were there any new ones recently?
knew my silver luck streak would’ve ended soon
congratswhat bugs
Lucarios fighting zone not activating if sync knocks a pokemon out and freezing on lodge interaction
not to mention the usual game crashes
Well that's better

nice
Actual pain…
Woah
I got dumped at 91% yesterday lol
Anecdotally, 95% means 50%
do we have a list for the daily gift we get by interacting with a npc in the lodge?
Yeah it’s in pins
Oh that's why
Not really but it feels like that
damn, i've got 2 days in a row a support candy token
First 5* gift from Rosa
got 10 5* tickets from her today
All in pins
i got two from TL so far.
is it better to choose interactions with higher points than choosing the hot topic with lower points?
Uh places influence pair's hot topic?
One message removed from a suspended account.
One message removed from a suspended account.
yes
it says that location may affect the conversation
in the in-game tips section
is there a way to deactivate the extracts
I’ve done 70 interactions
Couldn’t buy all 6 first day
And that was enough to max a pair
But with gifts and all that fun stuff could get it down probably a day or two per
Cause I didn’t do optimal first 2-3 days
50-60 interaction is can archive lv 100 i guess
Nope 
I wish tho, would make things a lot easier if I wanted to change things here and there
silver really be robbing my gifts oml 💀
Marnie didn't even let me use presents 
every gift i’ve given him he leaves immediately after 😭
He is shy in front of you 
that is IF i get to give him a gift
level 76 today though so not too terrible
tomorrow ima try and hit level 85
Give character a gift : "ok i gotta go!"
redflag friendship

i feel like i easily could’ve gotten twice as many levels if i just gave silver the gift, whatever though 😭
How are u getting these levels so fast
tbh luck 🤪
hardest part imo is timing when to give the gift
Wat gift
silver gifts are optimal
Check the pins for more info
yeah check the pins
it explains everything way better than i ever could 🤪
Which pin
All of them
.
Important info gets pinned. That's the point
Best I’ve gotten so far
Ayo?
yeah each pair gives 2 coins before they reach 100
Guarenteed??
upon reaching a certain level
wanna say the first one is 35ish and the second is 65ish
unless that was a daily gift
in which case wow
yeah that’s a daily gift
That's a daily
holy shit
That's a present
no i totally misread the situation there
Inb4 the pair gives better stuff at higher levels
and you get 1 of each candy coin at level 15, 45, 70, and 85
Is that just a theory
why did i say cookie 😭
lmaooo
I just hit 85 today
marnie's giving me pretty good gifts idk
i got 1000 sync orbs today
Lodge is great ngl
its so fun
Not having to farm xp books is so good
Mmmm love getting cut off at 93% three times in a row 
i just now realized getting to level 95 is a level 150 lol

LOL
7% chance, yeah, right
Yesterday it happened too, cut off before 80% three times in a row
Each coin is like 0.5%, so you have 2% chance to get one every day. Think of it as a daily pull you don't need to pay 
Yes, including the almighty yellow coin
Meanwhile Cynthia keeps handing me extracts like I can’t go buy them myself 
Same 
Which lodge character do you think I should prioritise next?
I'm nearly gotten Cynthia
depends. sycamore and blue have good pairs if that's a priority for you
I was sweating... took 10th interaction before I got max vibes
I hate N, I could’ve gotten 100 today but he decided not to let me
Today Cynthia was like "go to hell" right after getting below 100
Blue robbed me again today... gave him an awesome pendant and the man ditched right after that
Yeah they be stealin our stuff
Silver never lets me give him present
And when he does there's a 50% chance he leaves immediately
I'm one level off from 90 for free powerups to ex wallace
All my accounts will finish Rosa tomorrow then Cynthia next
Cynthia be like: you thought you getting me today eh? Jokes on you leaves at 95% 6x interactiona
after that glorious interaction, i lost on the 3rd topic lol
God blast the bad luck
Anybody know how does the x6 reset method work?
The same way as any other reset method?
I heard it had something to do with deleting the game or something i’m just curious 🤪
ah 💀
ty
Ah, that.
You can reset after picking the final topic by using mobile data + deleting and reinstalling the game each time
Search it up for more details
It's kind of a meme method tbh
yeah i might just do it once for the lols since i’m close to 100 with silver
Lmao hope you have good internet
Just wait the day at that point lol
Can't think of a pair that is good for upcoming LG. I guess another support so Blue?
Imagine download 10 gb every attempt just so you get the best 6x 
I don't think the device would appreciate the data rush too
Just get 2 phones 
2nd time
1st time i got 10 tho
I’m getting close to reaching Level 100 with Cynthia. Should i increase the trainer cap just in case i go over? I’m unclear as to what exactly is the benefit of increasing the cap
I mean, you could, but it's not really gonna do that much
Well, not like saving those items is going to do more
If you suddenly get a lucky conversation, you'll at least get some extra levels out of it

I’m actually beginning to like this goofy ahhh team ngl
Not ideal, but I make do with what I’ve got to balance blue/yellow
balance strat
6 intereactions died at 92 today
One more blue/yellow when cheering, dont need cheer for lv 10 chest
Oh wait im using team b nvm
Im lacking money to upgrade my gears because I spent everything in omni extract
