[icy wagon]

If they were all super exciting + 1 more?

[visual remnant]

you have 18% left, that's the last possible topic

once you click a topic, it would have dropped to 0% and ended there

[icy wagon]

Yeah I get that, I meant if my 3 exciting were super exciting + 1 more would we barely make it?

256 point-ish

[visual remnant]

hmm

3*3+10

it's possible maybe?

streak bonus of 11 sounds plausible at that point

but yeah it's gotta be an absolutely perfect run lol

[icy wagon]

So it's within the domain of possibilities to get 20 levels (6 interaction) with silver gifts

Perfect luck*

[wary wasp]

bruh what happened 🧍‍♂️

[visual remnant]

Slver and Feralgatr

get it

no "i"s

[icy wagon]

No eyes

You didn't have to explain it 😂

[visual remnant]

you see

[wary wasp]

crap i just now realized i made the text too thin 🧍‍♂️

[visual remnant]

Steven...

[winter galleon]

holy shit pokemon masters creepypasta

[visual remnant]

Silver Drowned

[blazing sapphire]

Those pesky character limits

[jovial moon]

Woah that looks like a horror movie collaboration

[wary wasp]

SILVERS A TECH???

I THOUGHT HE WAS A STRIKER 💀💀💀

i spent my 2 tech candies on bp zinnia yesterday 😭

[knotty nymph]

I once hit attention 0 but didn't have any gifts

This was day 1 of lodge btw

[shrewd gorge]

Damn really? That’s crazy

Today though I really have to decide which pair I’m working on next

Idk who to choose :(

[orchid glade]

What did you do already?

[orchid glade]

I went for Gastrodon next as I got Cynthia as it looked good

[glad acorn]

I am going for Blue and maybe N next for LG

[shrewd gorge]

I decided to start on Cynthia because her kit seems super nice yeah

Sadly I foolishly used my move candies on the new support BP units instead of using the plethora of vouchers I have

So I’m going to have to waste 1,000 of the lodge items to get her to 3/5

But I went for N first

With only 5 interactions I got Cynthia to level 11 with minimal effort and no resetting so I’m satisfied lol

[jovial moon]

Use the lodge stones then

[wary wasp]

i’d rather wait

[orchid glade]

Same I should have used my vouchers

[wary wasp]

level 150 >>> 3/5

[jovial moon]

Sure

[wary wasp]

also with pokewar games there’s bound to be a few candies

[glad acorn]

It's not really a waste when you can have many possible outlets to get it. Hell, I got 50 off expedition today

Of course, I'm not too hot on the level 150 train myself so

[shrewd gorge]

Right I totally agree

I forgot that you can get stones from expeditions

[orchid glade]

I still have everyone on 140, I see no point in 150 yet

[shrewd gorge]

And I think a 3/5 support Lodge pair like Cynthia and Blue is better than one level 150 pair lol

[glad acorn]

Support candies for 4star are rare to come by

[shrewd gorge]

Mhm

[orchid glade]

Ye don't know why support candy is rare now can understand when there weren't many

[jovial moon]

its their game i guess

[jovial moon]

the game secretly wants to nerf drake coz he's too strong

[sudden forum]

Drake was the only target for a long time before Rachel, Sawyer and the BP units came.

[orchid glade]

wow how many points?

[jovial moon]

ah

on the bright side

1 sesh with blue tmw

and 5 with whoever you want

[glad acorn]

If I am to put a price tag on them
BP Tix >>> Candies >>> Lodge stones

[cold ferry]

got to 3% attention with only 5 interacts and the gift

[orchid glade]

seems like 283 average

or more quite good

wish my Singles were that lucky

[cold ferry]

the single before was a low point though

[orchid glade]

so lucky you waited

[cold ferry]

i only have 5 gold gifts

[orchid glade]

well least tomorrow one should do then you on the next

[visual remnant]

I guarantee the next interaction you do with him will go all the way to 0% attention just because

[shrewd gorge]

I haven’t ever gone below 40% 😢

With Cynthia though if the hot topic is places… damn that’s fat

[orchid glade]

always happens when you don't want it

[glad acorn]

Blue's hot topic is places too. He has too many 7-pointers in other groups

[gloomy bluff]

Now that im doing my 2nd sync pair got so many of the other color crystals saved up

[glad acorn]

smh his pokemon topics

[gloomy bluff]

30 silver gifts, 9 gold gifts

Should hold me over for long time

[glad acorn]

Just don't buy them in advance

[gloomy bluff]

I do cause I dont need anything else

Iv got everything I need

I leave spare crystals too

[orchid glade]

I agree wasted some on Rosa 👍

[gloomy bluff]

You will use them eventually

[orchid glade]

maybe if I level after 100, but will be a long time

[gloomy bluff]

Didnt take that long for first 100

[icy wagon]

I would pretty much use my BP units to get dupes rather than use lodge stones

[gloomy bluff]

And now that we know what we doing, it should be 10-15 days per 100

[orchid glade]

If I want all 9 then it will be 3 months

[gloomy bluff]

And I dont even have all the syncs

[icy wagon]

Ffffffff i forgot to Omni today

[shrewd gorge]

It’s funny how the different topic affinities for each character are distributed. I got so used to N’s favorites and least favorites and it’s weird to switch lol

[glad acorn]

Well, at least it gives the pairs some personalities

[icy wagon]

Just gonna leave it to next reset. Would ruin my routine if I do it now 😭

On another hand, is it better to just leave my highest level friend by themselves to get the best gift daily?

Because I just interacted with N, only like level 5 or something, would give lower-rate gifts on reset no?

[jovial moon]

how do u get BP units to get dupes

[icy wagon]

BP tickets*

My bad

[orchid glade]

yes you want level 30

[icy wagon]

So the idea is to leave my level 1 by themselves yeah?

[orchid glade]

What you can do is 5 interactions on lower level then one on lvl 100 pair then it should have the lvl 100 greeting you I think

[icy wagon]

I will just leave Cynthia in there by herself

[sharp solar]

You can even uninvite lower level units if they have gift ready

The one you'll invite afterwards will keep the gift

[icy wagon]

That's what I was saying/assuming

Well no, but yes

[sharp solar]

You can do this before or after reset, there's no difference

[icy wagon]

I re-read what you said and figured it, but I can just let my main there by themselves until I get N past level 30 as well based on your answer

[keen stump]

This game gave literally 2% chance of dropping scout tickets from rare cache damn

[viscid kelp]

Hope im not too far behind!!
And now i have to switch to N...

[thorny beacon]

(frothing) Finally

[carmine sedge]

GG

[lethal marsh]

Hi guys
In terms of utility for the sync pairs in trainer lodge, is this accurate?

N > Blue > Cynthia > Silver > Rosa > Lillie > May > Sycamore > Marnie

Thanks

[noble locust]

Why n?

[carmine sedge]

Because of sleep?

[lethal marsh]

Just asking, I'm not sure if N is the best in general terms

Just based on what I've read

And got this list from someone who post it earlier, but want to make it right

[pale marsh]

Blue is probably better than N

But N is def top 3 or top 4

[noble locust]

Ya I agree with that take - blue is probably the most overall useful - n is high up there

[lethal marsh]

Here

[lethal marsh]

Gotcha

[pale marsh]

I think that one's outdated?

Not sure

[lethal marsh]

Blue > Cynthia > Silver > N > Rosa > Lillie > May > Sycamore > Marnie

How about this?

Is this one right in general terms of utility?

[long merlin]

How should I get the final xp needed? Just use an interaction no items?

[icy wagon]

You just need to say hello

You ditch him

[sharp solar]

Nah, go all-out as usual if you can afford it

[blazing sapphire]

Up that level cap and give him a goodbye party!

[icy wagon]

^

[long merlin]

Lvl 100 with these left over

[icy wagon]

Bruhh naw just unlock the cap and use them up

Surely you gotten some caps from chests

Or save them up but when you make everyone level 100 and want to grind the lodge stones you know blue is waiting

[long merlin]

I didn't know how to unlock level cap so I did a run normally

[glad pasture]

Totally fair, actually quite a convincing argument

[icy wagon]

I disinvite everyone 😝

[severe river]

You know, i’m using the infographic less and less.
I’m learning more about my favs

[sudden forum]

@urban zinc I'm shamelessly stealing that reddit post and implementing it into the doc btw

[knotty nymph]

you gonna add the 0-6 ones?

[sudden forum]

Yes.

takes time cause I have to import each image individually

[urban zinc]

Lmao ok

[sturdy monolith]

Off to a good start

[urban zinc]

Order them by region if possible

[lethal marsh]

Am i doing something wrong
Chest level 9
But on others
Its showing level 10

[random cloud]

Just need to use an expedition item

[sturdy monolith]

Use items

[lethal marsh]

Okay

[sturdy monolith]

Omni seems best

[fallow halo]

How are people unlocking all 3 slots so quickly?

[orchid glade]

wasn't that quick took me a few days when I first started with expedition teams

[plain nova]

it's been 2 weeks and many already unlocked them after 2-3 days

[fallow halo]

How, I need those slots unlocked ASAP

[fallow halo]

How, I need those slots unlocked ASAP

[orchid glade]

Took me about 4-5 days after

[sharp solar]

Make teams with one maxed element. Examples in pins.

[orchid glade]

You need to choose pairs which give you max cache and one color

I started with Yellow on team A and cache on Team B

When I got enough Yellow I changed to Blue then Red

[nimble flame]

if it's the same team that's showing level 10 it likely has to do with what team you built it on. Reminder that Team A will boost both Red and Yellow while Team B will boost both Blue and Caches

but yeah just use a boost

[lethal marsh]

I have tried same team in both team A and team B but showing level 9 chace
But thanks for sharing info

[nimble flame]

well 9 is the highest you can reach if you put in Team B

as you have 8 there + 1 from team slot

you can get an extra 2-3 from boost + cheer bonus

[fallow halo]

You saying to farm the chest instead of the others. Mines like this so far.

[orchid glade]

Team A should focus on any of the colors, pick one

you want the highest level close to 10 to get more rewards

can you post your current team screen

[fallow halo]

Here. This is them.

[orchid glade]

I would change all three and pick your best Yellow for team A

Not sure what pairs you have for it

[fallow halo]

Why yellow?

[orchid glade]

You can start with any color if you need more of it

I personally went Yellow first

[sharp solar]

Just don't split them. Lvl19-10 of one color is better than 3 of each

[orchid glade]

If I was doing Yellow I choose top three here

Xatu, Granbull and Liepard

[stone cradle]

Day #3 of losing my chain on all 6 attempts before 80%. Thanks game!

[lusty hill]

Trying individual interactions

Only really getting 1 level mostly per interaction with items and max vibes

[stone cradle]

?

[lusty hill]

Better to use all it seems

[fallow halo]

Like this

[orchid glade]

That looks good 👍 for Red

now do same on team B for cache

[fallow halo]

B slots are all locked

[orchid glade]

Screenshot team B?

[sharp solar]

You have two teams, not just one

[orchid glade]

you click arrow

before you edit team

[sudden forum]

I think I got them all.

Please let me know if there any errors:

[fallow halo]

O wow, I did not know that. Whats suppose to go their. Another stack of level 10 red

[plain nova]

you didn't know there was a 2nd team?? people didn't play around with the new mode

[orchid glade]

Well cache lol

[sharp solar]

They just joined it, calm down

[orchid glade]

its the grey chest @fallow halo

[plain nova]

he's lv130 not a new player tho

[orchid glade]

He's been playing for a while

[plain nova]

i just find it weird people didn't try to click every button possible in a new game mode

[orchid glade]

I didn't when I was new to the game

that's how I missed Mews missions back then

so I can see it happening easily

same with event shops

[plain nova]

but the arrow is also hard to see, same with the banner screen when people think there's only 1 banner and it's a paid banner

[orchid glade]

That's another mistake I made

[flint mesa]

can i use multiple presents in an interaction

[orchid glade]

not on one

[flint mesa]

like using the tier2 and then tier1

[orchid glade]

You only can use multiple if you use all interactions at once

[flint mesa]

^^^ i had no idea abt the event shops ngl

[flint mesa]

ah

[fallow halo]

I want to unlock the extra slots 1st. Don't I go for another color

[flint mesa]

yuh

[sudden forum]

You have to use the same number of presents equal to the number of interactions you’re doing.

They all have to be same present ranking.

[frank pelican]

Had a really good day in the lodge and went from 84 to 100 on Cynthia

[orchid glade]

Chest gives the good stuff for slots

you want it for Silver and Gold materials

[flint mesa]

BRO WTF

silver just cut me off at 95% 😭

[orchid glade]

ye wish it was explained to new players

[flint mesa]

100-> 95% and he cut me off 😭

is it cuz i reset a bunch to get a good hot topic

does the game know

[frank pelican]

Just bad luck unfortunately

[flint mesa]

wow

just ruined 6 interactions

ouch

oh well

[frank pelican]

I ruined 6 interactions yesterday so I vowed to never take that risk again

[flint mesa]

i will vow to do it again next time 😭 aint got the time do do this 6 times

[orchid glade]

Thats why I do interactions separately and not together

[flint mesa]

youve got more patience than me thats for sure

[orchid glade]

I would rather get my character to 100 quicker 👍

[plain nova]

got to do them separately to finish the general missions faster

[orchid glade]

free gems

[plain nova]

if you want more gems

[flint mesa]

wait what

ohh

[fallow halo]

Like this

[flint mesa]

i didnt even think abt that

how many gems is that?

from the gen missinos

[orchid glade]

yes quite good now buy the omni boost in the expedition shop

[plain nova]

Using all 6 only counts as 1 for this mission

[sudden forum]

:mayfacepalm:

Dena is so notoriously bad with counting missions.

[orchid glade]

@fallow halo

[random cloud]

One-at-a-time interaction supremacy

[plain nova]

mission 262 - 5400 gems total for 3000 interactions
mission 263 - 2600 gems total if you reach lv100 with 20 guests

500 days minimum for mission 262

[orchid glade]

Will take me 500 days

[flat prairie]

no lol it counts as 6

[night tide]

I gave him a gift Got max vibes really late but woo!!

[plain nova]

hmm probably they fixed it after that update patch

it didn't count before

[flat prairie]

i do x6 everyday almost since the start and i'm at 76/100, but just because i didn't buy the extra ones at beginning

[night tide]

Yay

[orchid glade]

They definitely fixed lodge even freezing stopped

on 83

[plain nova]

yeah i just recounted and they probably fixed that

[orchid glade]

I missed one should be 84

[plain nova]

maximum is 90 rn

[orchid glade]

Only 84 has been

tomorrow should be 90

[plain nova]

i only buy 1 the first day

did we get the lodge right after update or after reset

[orchid glade]

I managed to get two only because I started expedition only a few hours after reset

[orchid glade]

at update so before reset

[plain nova]

that's an extra day

[orchid glade]

technically one could get 9 at start

[void lintel]

We had like an hour to work with, but yeah

[orchid glade]

so 87

[void lintel]

Some of us were able to snag our first three Interacts before the reset

[plain nova]

87 is fair

lol

[orchid glade]

still not sure why I am one short did 6 first day

[void lintel]

Hm, isn't it possible to datamine all tiers of these missions? I wonder how high it goes

[plain nova]

already in absol pastebin

[void lintel]

Neat. Which one should I be checking?

[plain nova]

https://pastebin.com/dK0Efddk

[orchid glade]

my other account is 84

[void lintel]

Thanks.

3000 at the highest tier...

500 days. Between one and two years. I suppose that's more reasonable than a lot of the others.

[plain nova]

see you at 4.5 anni

[orchid glade]

Must have somehow forgot to do one interaction

[void lintel]

Or didn't complete it before reset

But I wonder if that would cause it to be lost...

[orchid glade]

I did every account 15 min before reset

[flat prairie]

but 1000 gems

[orchid glade]

So I had plenty of time

[void lintel]

Yeah, I'm not that worried about the 3k compared to, say, the "upgrade gear X times" missions

[flat prairie]

this one is the worse lol

[plain nova]

i won't bother with that unless they fix that one too

[flat prairie]

they fixed it

[void lintel]

3k interacts is positively casual compared to reaching the max gear upgrade tier mission

[maiden haven]

Blue talks with me more than Rosa

[void lintel]

Which incidentally I was pleased to discover that the new bulk-upgrade option really does count each level-up as a separate upgrade

[maiden haven]

it was in bug fixes at one point

[plain nova]

i think there was 1 player completed that missions farming the EX plaza, absolute mad man

[void lintel]

I didn't realize it was bugged to begin with

Last time I had to upgrade gear was before the bulk button was even added, so yeah

[flat prairie]

i am not even at 10% of it lol

and i have all gear maxed

[orchid glade]

Either it was a bug or my second account somehow missed one all rest got 84

[void lintel]

I kept warning people not to drive themselves crazy over the EX Plaza gear.
I guess some people just want to watch the world burn

[orchid glade]

Still will irritate me that its one behind until the mission is complete

[void lintel]

It's gonna be a long year-and-a-half, huh

[orchid glade]

ye exactly

I always check that I do all my interactions everyday

[plain nova]

https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonMasters/comments/ioosle/after_about_3_months_prestamina_grinding_is/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

[maiden haven]

can't wait to finish all these LA quests tomorrow

it was bugging me how I beat the bosses multiple times on LG but couldn't do the quests

[orchid glade]

Forgot LA is tomorrow with Villa

[maiden haven]

as for the Lodge quests... how far do the "interact x times" and "reach friendship 100 with x characters" go?

[plain nova]

3000 and 20

[sharp solar]

More than one, I've seen a few

[maiden haven]

500 days, huh

[plain nova]

They probably had nothing to do pre stamina days

[maiden haven]

and we can have 20 fully maxed in less than half of 3000 interactions... unless they stop adding them

[orchid glade]

200 days about for 20

[sharp solar]

If anyone is interested in more details, you can find them here. https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_General_missions

[plain nova]

We’ll see if they’re gonna add more logde unit monthly or after a few months

[maiden haven]

the gear one can be done by upgrading gear to lvl 3 before deleting it

but it eats cash

[maiden haven]

3 per month would be an "ok" pace, but we will see, i will probably be disappointed

[sharp solar]

This takes the least materials/coins, yes

[maiden haven]

because otherwise it will be just populars club

[plain nova]

doing 100 daily seems possible, finish in 200 days

[void lintel]

3 per month would be rather fast...

[maiden haven]

wonder if lodge shows a sync pair in items because they plan to add the same character several separate times or because they borrowed code from somewhere else

for example, for Blue it doesn't show just him but him and pidgeot

[void lintel]

I suspect borrowed code since sync orbs do the same

[maiden haven]

other games give me too much text, this one gives me not enough

new character talks for 30 minutes straight and I'm willing to skip and read summary because I don't care

[void lintel]

Reading
Interesting Topic!
-9999% Attention

[tepid stone]

one thing that would make interactions a lot less frustrating is if they let the interest level go over 100

[maiden haven]

insta gifts meta

[tepid stone]

then you could just use your gifts at the start and not have this annoying situation where like 2/3 of my interactions are perfect runs up until the point where they drop me before I can give a gift

[maiden haven]

in general they designed it a bit... weirdly

they could have kept the average exp more or less same but make it less frustrating

for example character mentioning that they should go soon or something first instead of insta drops

[orchid glade]

or they getting bored

can see Cynthia saying it

[worldly ivy]

A change in expression could also work

Also just.... not letting convos end before like, 75%

[sudden forum]

It done

[worldly ivy]

Yeye I really want overflow attention cause like.... If I'm gonna sell my first born child to buy a gold gift, at least let me get the most out of it

[blazing sapphire]

I just give gifts early. Tired of the quick convos.

[dense sonnet]

What trainee should i max first?

[void lintel]

Blue and Cynthia have Supports, which are always useful

Lillie has a Fairy with a solid sync snipe

N has access to Hypnosis shenanigans

[maiden haven]

Blue can probably work as a sleepbot at 1/5

ah nvm, that's N

Blue wants 3/5 then, for the Pep Rally and MPR on TM

and ofc aggravation

[rocky sparrow]

Ss morty 3/5 or Leon or ss dawn?

[runic plaza]

This is the lodge channel, but SS Morty is the best overall

Omnibuffer, you never run out of move gauge, can take a lot of hits, makes fire-types hit pretty hard

[rocky sparrow]

Oh whoops, thought I swapped channels.

[runic plaza]

It's fine

[jolly cove]

Finished N, now I guess I'll do Lillie now

[shrewd gorge]

I finished N yesterday

And I decided last minute to start on Cynthia today

It was either Lillie or Cynthia for me!

[crimson surge]

Omg Sycamore really just ended my interaction at 96%

[void lintel]

It happens.

[sharp scarab]

I have one expedition team farming Level 10 Wistful and Level 10 Fiery and one other team Farming Yellow ones Level 10 and Treasures at Level 8, are they good enough?

[void lintel]

Hm. Sleep shenaningans... Cobalion's in the next Gauntlet, isn't it? Maybe I should go with N after I finish Blue.

[void lintel]

I'd rearrange the yellow/rare team so that rare has Lv10

You really want those tier4 stones to get more Interactions per day

Before we continue, though:

Do you have both May and Marnie, and
Are they both favorites of yours

[sharp scarab]

Nah, my one team is full Unova and the other is full Sinnoh

[void lintel]

In this case I mean your lodge guests

Not the expeditions

[sharp scarab]

Oh lol, I don't got Marnie, she's the only one I don't have

[void lintel]

Same as me, then. So what I'd actually recommend is something slightly different

Building a Red+Rare team and a Blue+Rare team

Letting Omni and/or Cheer give you the tier1 yellows, and letting the double-stacked Rare Caches give you the tier2 through 4 yellows

Only 1/8th of your Lodge guests use yellow gifts, you see

(It's May. Without Marnie, she's currently the only one.)

[sharp scarab]

Oh shoot, yeah, so this is why no one has Yellow teams going on lol

[void lintel]

The problem is that it's hard to get 10s on both Blue and Rare Cache on the same team; 10 Rare plus 10 of other colors sometimes means needing Rare Extract instead of Omni

Which means only getting yellow tier1s (for shovels and specs) during Cheer

[sharp scarab]

Oh, I see

[void lintel]

It's tricky to think about.

[sharp scarab]

Yeah, I think I might stick with my teams for now, the Cache reaches to Level 9 with Cheer and that's pretty good, right?

[void lintel]

I wouldn't be comfortable with that; one Lv9 Cache only barely generates enough tier4 stones on average to sustain +3 Interactions per day, and you'll have Lv9 for less than half of each day

The other benefit to two Rare Cache teams is that you generate so many Tier4 stones that you can get a head start on gold friend keys

[crimson surge]

“Other” did not appear once even though I used the item that increases the chance of the Hot Topic showing up. Sycamore really hates me today

[void lintel]

You won't need them for a long time, but... you can afford them now instead of running out of stuff to do later

[sharp scarab]

True, thanks! Will try to make some new teams after I'm done with my interactions, probably

[void lintel]

👍

I'll tell ya this:
Alola is often easiest to build for, because it has by far the most +3 color trainers in it

[sharp scarab]

I noticed that, too

[void lintel]

There's a pattern...

[sharp scarab]

Unova's got a lot cause of BW/B2W2, everyone has many Unova characters in general

[void lintel]

Champions, Elite Four, and Trial Givers have +3/-1 (except Hala for some reason???)
Gym Leaders have +1/+1
Main Character and Typeless have +2/-0
Battle Facility Foe, Villain, and Rival theme skill give Rare Cache, though sometimes this overlaps with one of the categories above (e.g. Leon and Blue are Champion instead, sometimes)

Johto has it really rough. No Champion (Lance is labeled Kanto) and only two Elite Four (Koga and Bruno are also Kanto)

Galar has it worse. No Elite Four at all.

Kalos is also missing two of its Elite Four

[sharp scarab]

Then there's Hilbert, who gives +6

[void lintel]

Yeah, each region has two "Region-match bonus" characters, overriding what that character's category would be

One +6 and one +4

(Or for Rare cache, +2 with no penalty)

Hoenn has... other difficulties.
Steven's +6 red would work really well with a +3 red Elite Four... But there isn't one. None of Hoenn's Elite Four are strikers.

Sidney's a Tech and the other three are Supports.

[sharp scarab]

Perhaps in the future lol

[void lintel]

Perhaps. We can only hope.

[sharp scarab]

Tbh I kinda wanna see more Units be featured in the Lodge

[void lintel]

It's planned!

Current speculation is a toss-up whether it'll be monthly or bimonthly or quarterly or whatnot

We're pretty sure there'll be a new monthly fair in October, as that's when Cynthia's banner ends. But whether a new Lodge Guest will be implemented at the same time as the new monthly fair cycles in... that will be the question. It's beyond our datamine's range.

[sharp scarab]

I'm thinking that maybe Karen will be next because she gets a powered up Grid if I remember right?

[void lintel]

Hm... Cynthia's grid expansion did accompany her own Lodge arrival. So that's as good a guess as any

Other speculations are
A Unova character (aside from Sinnoh arriving early due to the BD/SP release, the Villain Arcs have been released in generational order)
An Alola character (next Masters' Day gives us triple Alola grids and "all the same region" grids have only ever accompanied a Villain Arc event for that region)

[sharp scarab]

I was considering Unova, too

[void lintel]

...Had to edit it... I forgot that "Unova" is pronounced "Yoo-nova" for some reason

[sharp scarab]

Maybe each new like, Region Month Event will feature at least one new addition to the Lodge

[void lintel]

Might be cool.

[sharp scarab]

U-nited States lol

[void lintel]

Yeah, but the origin of Unova is partly the Spanish word "Uno," pronounced "Ooh-no"

So I've been mentally pronouncing it like that for years.

[sharp scarab]

Wheeze, that's fair

Lotsa people are

[void lintel]

If not for Bianca's voiced intro line, I wouldn't even know it's Yoo-nova

And I freakin' live there

[sharp scarab]

Damn lol

It's my most favorite Region so far

And I'm only Level 66 with Rosa, darn

[void lintel]

It takes a while.

[sharp scarab]

Yeah, sure does

[flat lantern]

Guys anyone have 2 teams for 10 blue and 10 chest?

[glad pasture]

I couldn't manage double blue chest

At least not 10/10

I think I could do 7-8/10 and 9/10

[void lintel]

I think there's only one 10/10 blue/rare build in existence right now, and it requires multiple Limited pairs

[flat lantern]

?

[ancient zenith]

you can check the document in pins the only known 10 blue/10 cache team needs ss giovanni and ss kris

[flat lantern]

i got those

s

So theres only one team pissible for 0 0 10 10?

whats the best way to farm blue stuff with chests?

[ancient zenith]

ok then you can use those on team B with rare extract, the team is ss giovani, silver, ss kris, plumeria, lana, lillie

blue plus cache is really hard right now cause all the +3 cache units also lower blue by 2

[flat lantern]

That works for me, any help?

im just figuring out how to farm blue for when i start leveling support pairs

[glad pasture]

Here's one with Alola

[flat lantern]

Can lillie be used instead of SS lillie?

[glad pasture]

Here's Unova. That's the best I got.

[glad pasture]

Yes, in fact shes much better as she gives +4 instead of +2

[flat lantern]

does it matter if i put those on team A or B?

[glad pasture]

B will give you +1 in blue and chest

[flat lantern]

i mean, does it make anny difference?

[glad pasture]

So put the one with less points on Team B

Like I said they're not perfect

But it's the best I could manage

[flat lantern]

theyre actually both 15 points so maybe it wont matter

yeah bt with some buffs, theyll be better

thaks

[glad pasture]

Np

[thin crystal]

Besides bp pairs is there anything to use lodge stones on?

[sick garnet]

140-150 level cap item

The red book looking thing

[glad acorn]

Is Bede the rarest pokefair right now?

[rugged rose]

anyone else see the max rare chest you can hold is 100?

[glad acorn]

I don't think anyone bothered to try. That would require you to not collect anything for 3 days

[last trellis]

yeah i claim my items like twice a day at least

it'd never get that high

[glad acorn]

Seems silly to test it out and lose yourself a few chests

[tepid stone]

I did get to 100 rare chests accidentally

and yes it gave me an exclamation mark and a different color

probably happened because I was like, every time I collect items it sets the exploration back by up to a minute, why not just wait longer

turns out the answer is I then waste more than a minute's worth of exploration lol

[glad acorn]

Just have a mental note to collect them every reset, I guess

[alpine flare]

i also saw someone early on confirm that they had 100 chests and it wouldn't go up anymore

[glad acorn]

I already forget egg too often anyway

[alpine flare]

oh yeah i forgot that woops

logging in now

[glad acorn]

You would really need to save for 3 days to get that 100 chests warning

[tepid stone]

I don't think I'm missing any general pool eggs other than shinies

so I always slack off outside of egg events

although it seems I now have to collect 2-passive support eggmons to avoid the revenge boost ruining quad queue annoyance -_-

[glad acorn]

I have been noticing that it's harder to get 1star eggs, which means harder for us to get more egg tickets

[alpine flare]

wow, i've never even thought of it that way

i guess once I get all my gen pool i should be doing that

also i checked and it seems you can farm them in the pml arc

[glad acorn]

It happens when you start having trouble buying all monthly egg related stuffs

I cannot afford all the cakes now

[tepid stone]

oof I forgot that the 2* and 3* affinity treats were in the monthly exchange for a while

my poor starving eggmons

[wide sorrel]

Can’t you only get 3 star eggs? I never gotten a 1-2 star egg from using stamina before

[sudden forum]

You can get them from story mode. But most level 120 stuff only gives gold eggs

[modest delta]

I didn’t know they could leave as max vibes ended

I didn’t even get to gift today lol

[glad acorn]

Let me guess. Third topic vibe?

[modest delta]

indeed

[glad acorn]

Attention drop = You can get dropped

This game is brutal rng-wise

[modest delta]

i assumed coming out of max vibes was safe

as it doesnt even show the attention during

[glad acorn]

You can say that you were on borrowed time during Max vibe. The pair wanted to drop you after 3rd topic but Max Vibe prevented them

[modest delta]

damn 😢

cynthia hasnt been kind to me so far

[tepid stone]

yeah if max vibes prevented dropping on both ends it'd probably be more advantageous to wait longer before trying to trigger it

also eyeballing the numbers I think if you have enough gifts to spare for all your interactions, it might actually just always be worth using your first gift either before any attention drops or after 1 attention drop

[visual remnant]

Yeah just for the multiplier

Burn the excess attention gain

[glad acorn]

90% present. No but

maybe just pick that hot topic, oh, it's a drop

[keen wolf]

For Silver I use it on 90%, for Gold 85%

But that's if I do one at a time, for 6 at a time might as well use present on 95%

[viscid kelp]

Personally i push my luck and use the presents at 80 and 70
it works!!!! until it doesn't!!!!

[orchid glade]

I do Gold and Silver at 80%

can't seem to get to 70% so stopped doing it then

[soft tree]

literally one minute before reset

[glad acorn]

Okay, so you have a low level pair having a daily gift for you. Here's what you do

1. Don't panic click
2. Go to the invite tab
3. Uninvite everyone but your high level pair
4. ???
5. Profit

https://streamable.com/8db4uj

https://streamable.com/8db4uj

[visual remnant]

"I know you have a gift for me but no thanks it's not expensive enough"

[soft tree]

i’ll be done tomorrow

should i use like 1-2 interactions tomorrow on her

instead of 6

since it’ll max

[keen wolf]

Yea do that

[glad acorn]

Marnie "Here's 1000 orbs. I know you have 99999. It's the feeling that counts"

[soft tree]

tomorrow blue time uwu

[visual remnant]

Ngl I could go for 1000 orbs rn

The new BP units stole them all

[carmine sedge]

Ugh, May dropped me at 91% attention

I guess that's the consequences of triggering max vibes on the first try

[autumn stone]

Marnie: Rosa just left me her gift for you today coz you unfriend her so...

[split jolt]

Woah. My 2nd time to 0% attention and personal best record so far

[visual remnant]

Wait

15 topics???

Duuuude

That's the bloody jackpot right there

[split jolt]

Yeah, gold gift at 70% ish + 5 hot topic in late turns

Guess i should've scouted so i'll get master fair with this kind of luck

[visual remnant]

That's amazing

Especially since it's 6x

[glad acorn]

So 15th topic is possible. Definitely hard for sure

[glad acorn]

Me : Okay, I'm at 90%. I can take that 10 point hot topic and then gift...
Blue : Cool story bro. Imma leaving
Me :

At least he's being compliance on the second half

[graceful granite]

Lucky day

[pastel swallow]

today was good, had 14 levels up

[pastel swallow]

this is the highest ive seen ngl

[rigid pilot]

Am I supposed to kick everyone but my max char before reset?

[sharp solar]

Or after reset

[raw hare]

Cynthia level 33

[glad acorn]

Either way is fine. Look at the video I linked above

[quiet vortex]

I bought 3 extra interactions yesterday and forgot to use them

i got marnie done and completely forgot to get started on Cynthia

[mortal shard]

Credits to Zamcio for the infographs https://twitter.com/zamcio/

[orchid glade]

Got to level 30 Cynthia and one nice score again

[quiet vortex]

ending on level 10 for cynthia, not bad, not bad

[quiet vortex]

nice!!

[orchid glade]

thanks 👍

[formal forge]

Which location is best for Blue?

[sharp solar]

Lodge

For everyone but Silver

[quiet vortex]

silver is best in the battle villa iirc

[rigid pilot]

Just wanna make sure

Once a pair reaches 30

Their drop table for daily is capped so to speak right

Ie. 30 vs 100 is the exact same chance

[quiet vortex]

i actually don't know that, hold on

[rigid pilot]

Someone pls pin this

[formal forge]

I thought Ruins was good for Cynthia?

[quiet vortex]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1012298913279127582/1014884762156019783/3GreetingPokeball.png

Is this what you're looking for

[sharp solar]

She hates rock types

[rigid pilot]

So technically after reaching 30 on my new pair I don't have to do the kicking of chars in lodge right

[quiet vortex]

I mean maybe I'm lucky but I've only had my highest leveled pair give me gifts in the lodge

(which is marnie)

I've never gotten anything from rosa or cynthia

[rigid pilot]

Did you do the cancel shown above

Or just let them be

[quiet vortex]

I let them be tbh I didnt even know you could kick pairs out

[rigid pilot]

Game might be giving whoever is the highest then?

If that's the case the kick is unnecessary

[quiet vortex]

I mean maybe, I have no idea the stats on it and I dont wanna accidentally screw you on getting something good lol

just in my personal experience I've only gotten gifts from my highest pair

[rigid pilot]

I will just play safe till lilie reach 30 then

[quiet vortex]

that's what I'd say

just in case

[rigid pilot]

I'm just too lazy to do the kick daily

[sharp solar]

Not the highest level, just the last pair you interacted with

If you start working on a new pair, it gives you presents

[rigid pilot]

Ya but who interacts beyond 100 except misclicks/simps

[ripe gorge]

is this a decent run? only used silver gifts tho

[rigid pilot]

Or too much time I guess

[ripe gorge]

ended at 22%

[quiet vortex]

that actually makes sense

then yeah you need to kick lillie

(I also need to kick Cynthia lol)

[rigid pilot]

[quiet vortex]

oh that was a lot easier than I thought itd be

now to make sure I dont forget to do that until she becomes level 30

im loving my 1000 co-op orbs a day

[quiet vortex]

jokes on u when the 200 level reward drops and its really cool and I'll have it first /s

[glad acorn]

This is not actually correct. The last time I interacted with Rosa was day 1 and she tried to gift me today

Since Blue was uninvited

[quiet vortex]

im genuinely not gonna get marnie to 200 until i have at least blue and sycamore done

(and cynthia)

[sharp solar]

If she's the only pair in lodge, the ofc she would

[glad acorn]

Not only her. Marnie is there

[sharp solar]

Blue doesn't barge in himself just to give a gift

[quiet vortex]

LOL

but orz that sucks

[sharp solar]

Have you interacted with her?

[glad acorn]

Just look at the video I uploaded

I have only interacted with Blue yesterday and I removed him before the reset. Rosa showed up instead

Rosa is level 2, the same level after the tutorial

[quiet vortex]

so she invited herself or did she not get shoo'd away

[glad acorn]

I had 4 pairs on reset

[quiet vortex]

ohhh so youre saying its random

[lost pumice]

[glad acorn]

Only interacted with Marnie and Rosa (tutorial)

[sharp solar]

When did you interact with Marnie last time?

[glad acorn]

2 days ago

[sharp solar]

So it may be a random pair if you uninvite the pair you last interacted with

[glad acorn]

Or Rosa is the target by default

[quiet vortex]

I wouldnt be surprised

since she was the tutorial character

[glad acorn]

Anyway, it's all cool if you just click the invite tab to single out your highest leveled pair to claim the daily gift

[lost pumice]

Dumb question but why do u want to take the gifts from perticular character?

[glad acorn]

Because the daily gift is affected by the friendship level of said pair

[lost pumice]

Oh

Didn't know that

So Ig the higher the friendship lvl the better the gifts?

[glad acorn]

We just don't want any 2% of the coin being dumped elsewhere

Well duh, no coin level 20 or below

[lost pumice]

Ic so its ok if above lvl20?

[sharp solar]

30*

[lost pumice]

Oh lvl 30

[glad acorn]

If the pair you're working on is 30 or above, it's all cool

[smoky wave]

you can check gift drop rates in pinned in this channel

[lost pumice]

I just reached lvl 30 with Lillie today

Lmao

[rigid pilot]

So u can just chill after 30-100

[orchid glade]

Great all my accounts got to level 30+

hopefully 40 tomorrow 🙏

[rigid pilot]

So uhh lodge stones

Are they safe to be used on certs?

[visual remnant]

You'll need 500 Lodge Stones for a dupe of a Lodge unit

Unless you want to use up your 4* Candies

[swift basin]

Because of trainer lodge I have 99999 sync orbs and can't claim anymore. Do I actually have to fill a grid I don't need to fill?

They have to expand the cap

[sinful ridge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/851855705542754344/1017363344954503238/IMG_9085.png

[sharp solar]

If you have ungridded units, grid them

[sinful ridge]

1/5 is Bronze.
2/5 is Silver.
3/5 is Gold.
4/5 is Rainbow.
5/5 is Partner Pokemon (shown above).
6*EX unlocks Holo Foil.

[zealous osprey]

Why would you spend lodge stone on stuff other than the certs… those can only be obtained in the lodge and need about 2000 for all pairs

[sinful ridge]

I'm hoping they add the other alts for the available characters as future Snapshots.

[sharp solar]

Well, some players need orbs more than +1 lvl

[zealous osprey]

Orbs can always be farmed from time to time, but not the certs. What if they release 160 by next year?

[rigid pilot]

Alr candied

[sharp solar]

Orbs are time-limited, especially for newer players who have no CSMM access.

So they release lvl 160... And what? All the content can be beaten by lvl 120-130 pairs.

[zealous osprey]

Yeah, sure the comment on the difficulty is definitely right

[visual remnant]

Then you are free to do as you wish

[glad acorn]

Your orb will be 99999 eventually. Nothing you can do about it

[zealous osprey]

Just unlock all the grids for pairs you won’t even use

[glad acorn]

Easier said than done for veterans

[sharp solar]

You can trade orbs down via MCchu

[ivory forge]

p good run ig

[carmine sedge]

BTW, what's the best place for May?

[blazing sapphire]

Best place for everyone except silver is the lodge

[worldly ivy]

silver in lodge like

[glad acorn]

Looking at May, seems like both Hobbies and Pokemon are good hot topics

[pseudo garnet]

Conversation ended on 3rd topic, god I love trainer lodge

[glad acorn]

I don't suppose you have any items?

[carmine pilot]

2nd day with x6 no item used
Rip

Gonna use the gift at 95% next one, i just can't get near 80 lately

woohoo

managed to save 3 interactions

[sharp scarab]

Grats! With who?

[nocturne aurora]

Lillie!

[mortal shard]

Credits to Zamcio for the infographs https://twitter.com/zamcio/

Nice!

[worldly fjord]

I feel like a fake Kalos fan because I recognized more of Cynthia's topics. I don't know what some of these Sycamore topics are

[blazing sapphire]

Ladies and gentlemen, we got ‘em

[rocky peak]

Lol

Best RNG

[nocturne aurora]

oof damn

[worldly ivy]

I had 33 happen to me too but....... x6........................ my condolences...................................

[carmine pilot]

Just take the juice and ensure max vibe at interaction 2 or 3, if not just reset
You can still do around 100pt

[rigid pilot]

This is why u don't x6 ppl

[analog furnace]

…have any of you guys ever exchanged for the wrong present before

I went on autopilot and got N 5 silver gifts when he’s already lv100

I literally have 5 bronze & silver gifts for him now

[sharp solar]

You'll get him next time

[analog furnace]

I just wasted all those resources for no reason bruh

Someday they’ll add extra rewards for going beyond lv100

[sharp solar]

You get lodge stones

[analog furnace]

I don’t think it’s that big of a deal bc of how many silver-tier Reds I farm per day, but that’s pretty damn annoying considering 1 day just cost me 5k

[analog furnace]

If I’m done with all of the other trainers before anything new drops, sure

Otherwise, lack of extra rewards don’t make it worth it

Lodge stones you just get from levelling anyone

[terse raft]

i was resetting for max vibes and the game bug out zooming in closer with the camera, kinda interested view of the lodge

[sharp solar]

Happened once

[analog furnace]

Nvm, this made up for it

90 so far

[ashen solar]

damn it i fell asleep and forgot my last three interacts

[ripe gorge]

mine is only 20 so far

[ashen solar]

oh well i got like 10-15 levels in the first 3

[ashen solar]

dang i'm not nearly that lucky

[glad acorn]

Let it be a memorial of your friendship

[analog furnace]

Maybe I should make it 5 bronze, 5 silver & 5 gold, then hell nah

[analog furnace]

With enough time on rare cache, I’m sure you’ll get some

[ashen solar]

let's hope

[atomic pelican]

I’m at 74 now

[urban flicker]

Can the hot topic for Blue stop being Hobbies

he has only 1 10 pointers to it

I got it 3 times in a row now

[atomic pelican]

Lmao

[glad acorn]

Have to rng for places for Blue. He's picky that way

Though I managed to do good with Friends too

[analog furnace]

Wait. What's been the highest base point score you guys have seen so far?

Does this get close?

[pale marsh]

What a way to finish it off

[analog furnace]

Nicee

[glad acorn]

Someone above has 271. Pretty lucky still

[analog furnace]

Daamnnn so close

[urban zinc]

Time to take a break from the solo legendary arena

let's date cynthia

[analog furnace]

For a Hot Topic of Other tho, 269 is pretty awesome

Wonder how far you can go with a run just as good that has say, Places as the Hot Topic for Cynthia

[analog furnace]

[pastel swallow]

someone got 270+ with 6 interactions at one go

[analog furnace]

Yeah I just replied to it

That's awesome, is it insane to say you could get close to ~290 with an absolute perfect run?

[dusky finch]

Thanks game

[analog furnace]

They got 5 Hot Topics, and Cynthia has a potential of 9 under Places

I only got 3

[urban zinc]

Not too bad

[onyx quarry]

Went from level 6 to 19 today for silver

Ill be done in a week at this rate

[sonic stream]

13 x 7 is 91 so 8 days

I tried x6 for the first time today and of course got cheated before vibes at 85%. There goes my 10 levels per day average

[urban flicker]

if you do a x6 you can't risk it

and you have to reset to get vibes at topic 2

[sharp bramble]

Doing 6x is a good way to get a heart attack lol

[neat olive]

What are the rewards for unlocking level cap?

[sharp solar]

No direct rewards. You just get lodge stones for level ups

[glad acorn]

You get to show your level 999 pair around. Next is 9999

[urban flicker]

the max level of friendship cap is 99999

it was datamined by absolutely

[late sluice]

yippee!!

[kind moat]

Wait, you guys are getting 10 levels a day?

[mental pewter]

yeah, that's "average" i'd say

[kind moat]

I should have come here earlier

[brittle hedge]

That was an astonishingly long interaction

the salt

[visual remnant]

Lmaoooo literally 1pt

[muted juniper]

So this is my best till then (out of 5 interactions)

Got to hot topic in 3rd selection, talked for 10 topics, till 58%

I feel satisfied

Btw, how are you all getting 10 levels per interaction?

I barely managed to get 128 total

[void lintel]

It's not 10 per interaction

It's 10 with a multi-interaction multiplier

[visual remnant]

10 total from 6 interactions

[pastel swallow]

128 per interaction is actually good lol

try to keep above 100

[void lintel]

If you look at the +9 levels in the image above you, you'll see a "x3" multiplier

[pastel swallow]

and u are good

[void lintel]

Because that person used 3 interactions at once

Granted, 3 levels per interaction still is really damn huge

But it's not 10 per interaction

[muted juniper]

Oou

[void lintel]

They had an amazing convo and managed a gold gift at the same time, you see

[muted juniper]

Oh, so that's why ×1.5

[urban flicker]

Kinda wasted the gold gift

probably could have gotten away with the silver one since she was Lv90

[dense saddle]

YOOOOOO

[dense saddle]

Wait you can interact with her even if you have one of the alts?

And not the og?

[glad acorn]

You get the photo if you pull the alt. That's it

[cold ferry]

exegguttor is pretty good

[civic zinc]

Couldn't be me

[dense saddle]

So you need the OG version?

[glad acorn]

Yes, that's why they set up a monthly banner for her

[carmine sedge]

Who gets +3 rare cache boost?

[dense saddle]

Rip

[dense saddle]

MR and SSR Cynthia

[carmine sedge]

Well damn, I don't have SSR Cynthia

[carmine sedge]

You also missed kinda missed SS Giovanni

[dense saddle]

Oh right

Whoops

[carmine sedge]

Are those 3 the only ones with +3 rare cache boost?

.....

[glad acorn]

You can just look at the pinned, but you're missing one - SS Lusamine

[carmine sedge]

Technically 2 with SSR Cynthia, but I just need one of the two and unfortunately I'll have to wait for either of them to rerun

[glad acorn]

I can imagine Lusamine getting rerun during Alola VA, but Cynthia is definitely tricky

[sharp scarab]

Use all six Interactions, use multiplier Items

[carmine sedge]

Ah damn, I literally need SSR Cynthia so that I can have level 8 on both my soothing and rare boosts

One of my teams already has level 8 soothing and rare

But one of them is level 8 soothing and level 7 rare

[sharp solar]

+tierlist

Well, I'm out of ideas

[lost pumice]

Nope I have og and I just got this one today

[sharp solar]

#1006331343300473022

[next junco]

SSA Cynthia haver confirmed

[lost pumice]

Yeah just got her in today's multi

Dont have to pity now

😭

[next junco]

Nooice

[lost pumice]

I can try for red now

Tomorrow 3k rally gems right?

[carmine sedge]

I got all of them so time for me to save for the next unit I want

[next junco]

yolo red

Yeah tomorrow

But we only have 14820 gems left

[carmine sedge]

Ironically, the amount of gems that I spent trying to get all 3 of them is less than a single pity

But only by 1 multi

[next junco]

[lost pumice]

If only I was lucky

[next junco]

never know

I got ash and red randomly after pity cynthia tho

Hope you have the same

Not the pity part

[maiden haven]

or skip the pity Cynthia part and go only for them

[next junco]

Red and Ash is just extra, real gift is cynthia

Beside i like this pity tho... Being a gem zen for too long already

[tepid stone]

ugh just got dropped on turn 3 for being greedy and impatient (and not resetting for a perfect run)

on the other hand I also got a 5* powerup from a chest for the first time

also I finally got blue to lv 30! and then got N to lv 100

[tepid stone]

wait huh apparently item balls can spawn more than once a day? just got a second batch unless my memory's failing

[sudden forum]

never seen them more than once

Today

Now that I've unlocked Blue, I want to use my remaining Interactions for Cynthia.
I read, that I should uninvite Cynthia from the Lodge until she reaches Level 30, so i continue to receive the better gifts from Blue? Is that right?

[random cloud]

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention this

[maiden haven]

yes, but Blue has to be the only one in lodge

[sudden forum]

Oh. Even the others who I haven't started progress on, also have to be removed?

[maiden haven]

if they end up staying in the middle, yes iirc

the one in the middle gives gifts

[sharp solar]

You can fix it after reset anyway, but uninviting everyone else simplifies things

[sudden forum]

Nothing like telling all your friends to GET. So you can maximize gifts.

[analog furnace]

get out, unless you can pay me with candy coins

[sudden forum]

So even though Cynthia was the last interaction I had, Blue will still gift me tomorrow (while he's alone in the lodge)?

On subsquent days, he will till do so, even with 0 interactions?

[sharp solar]

Yup

He has no choice

[sudden forum]

[urban zinc]

wtf is this cursed pog

[sharp solar]

this pog allows me...

[sudden forum]

they're both terrible

can't wait till they add Alder to the lodge in 2025, will justife me picking him on that free ticket

[verbal prairie]

4th day in a row Blue leaves me at over 80% attention. geez

[river temple]

wait so its better to uninvited underleveled friends so u get better rewards?

[flat prairie]

yup

to have the best rewards the friend that gives you the daily gift should be at least lvl 30

[mystic mountain]

So I've built a calc of sorts that shows me which topic is best to choose in each interaction.
So far, I've just been using it for Cynthia since I was leveling her, but I got her to 100 today.
I've adapted it to work with other Trainers while retaining the information for Cynthia. I just need to import all the data for all other Trainers (and honestly fix a couple typos for Cynthia).

[mystic mountain]

I've imported all the data but it seems like several values for Rosa aren't pulling any information. Which is super strange.

it's because the data wasn't sorted. it's fixed now. 🙂

[sharp bramble]

Huh so we can just pick our favorite character and keep raising their friendship cap in order to get all our units to 150 then haha

[maiden haven]

yes but highly recommended to do everyone else to 100 first, for the items

[sharp bramble]

Of course

[glad acorn]

I tried this. I removed Blue and kept Marnie around. Rosa ends up having the gift for me instead

[glad acorn]

So I figured this out as a solution

[wary wasp]

I think he likes me :D

[thick widget]

I gave 3 gold gifts to Blue then he left me one turn after

[simple sequoia]

Is it better overall do use all interactions at once?

[gray verge]

No

[thick widget]

No

[gray verge]

It's hit or miss

[thick widget]

Instead use 3 interactions at once

[void lintel]

It is effectively identical across a large number of interactions

It does not cost more or less than using them one at a time
It also does not reward more or less than using them one at a time

It just saves time.

I normally do use x6 interactions at once, though lately I've rearranged my expedition teams so that they yield about two gold presents' worth of tier3 crystals per day-- so I gotta do those separately

[gray verge]

I'm doing x6 too because I can reliably get interactions of 120-150 points pre multipliers and I'm satisfied with that

I think I'll develop it into doing 2 times 3 interactions, one with 3 silver presents and another with 3 gold presents

[glad acorn]

Do you win more if you bet everything at once?

[rancid lance]

New record for me

I only did 3 at once cause I need to go to bed, so I got very lucky.

[glad acorn]

6x can either be great or your day is ruined

[rocky sparrow]

So if i do 5 interactions with sycamore then 1 with blue, blue gives me a gift?

At reset

[icy wagon]

Just login in the mornin

Kick everyone except blue

Take gift from blue

Invite sycamore again

[gray verge]

It's not a matter of who you interact with

It's just who is in your lodge lobby

So before reset, leave only trainers with lv30+

[icy wagon]

The last person you interacted with usually is the one who welcomes you

But you can just uninvite everyone

Take daily

Then invite whoever you are leveing up back

According to others on here earlier, you can even do that after reset

I will play it safe and just kick everyone except cynthia

[modest delta]

Better day today

Took like 4 resets because I kept getting awful topics first 3 turns

[sudden forum]

Exiting Max Vibes at 96% be like...

[lost pumice]

Good talk indeed

[void lintel]

It be like that sometimes.
Around 4% of times, to be specific.

[glad acorn]

That's rng for you. Especially tilted against us to boot

[steel crag]

What’s the trainer lodge meta pair order? (E.g: N > Blue > etc.)

[modest delta]

Get the supports I guess

Or just pick your favourites

[hard badger]

N first supports second strikers last

[glad acorn]

Favorites always first

[hard badger]

Not the question

If you would pick a unit because an anon told you it was better than your favorite it wasn't a favorite

[glad acorn]

I guess you can say Support is always a consideration so you have a workable tank for LG streaks

I cannot imagine the strikers doing good in next LG

If Entei was around, Silver would be solid

[sudden forum]

I personally even haven't looked at the damage comparisons for Silver, May, Rosa, Sycamore, Lillie, or Marnie.

[hard badger]

They're 4 star freebies I'm not expecting much for damage

[glad acorn]

Would Marnie even be good for Bulu? I have my doubt

[hard badger]

"Would Marnie even be good" No.

[modest delta]

is there really even a "meta" pick if none of them are incredible

[sudden forum]

Since I have a lot of units, my approach was just Supports > Utility > Damage.
Blue/Cynthia > N/Silver/Lillie > May/Rosa/Marnie/Sycamore

[modest delta]

supports are supports so always have a niche

[void lintel]

N can do sleep shenanigans in Gauntlet

[glad acorn]

I don't think any of the lodge support is as good as BP Morty, but he is an outlier

[crimson surge]

Is Sycamore the worst one

I’m going for him just because of Bulbasaur

[glad acorn]

I see sycamore clearing 2k offtype (with SS Lyra )

[hard badger]

I would argue May just because water is so much more common than poison

But May probably hits the hardest amongst these units

[void lintel]

I wondered what it'd take for me to swap Viola out of my Toxic Stall comp.
Mortymagius was the one to usurp the position.

[glad acorn]

BP Clemont is looking good too

[void lintel]

Sycamore's Bulba is redundant (you get two powerful freebie grass attackers, one of which is Sycamore himself)
But his Bulba looks like fun anyway. Low SpAtk but many multipliers

[modest delta]

i did rosa first because realistically im not gonna use any of them

dont do gauntlet streaks

(too bad at the game)

[void lintel]

Rosa's Dewott can serve as either a budget replacement for Nessa, or a sidekick working alongside Nessa

[hard badger]

Dewott does terrible dark damage

[glad acorn]

Lillie has Wrap so another decent interference pair. Can't have enough of those

[sudden forum]

waiting on that venomoth rerun

[void lintel]

It's pretty tricky to find good Fairy damage, and she has a Special answer for Mina's phys Sync snipe

[glad acorn]

Right, she seems decent against Cobalion for LG

Since that deer thing is mostly physical damage

[modest delta]

youll get them all soon enough too i suppose

assuming like 10 days on average per

[glad acorn]

No reason not to grind them all, that's for sure. Who would skip out on 180 power ups and 90 certificates?

Usual "no content" whiners, I guess

[modest delta]

bring back the awesome content of playing legendary events for 30 hours

old masters so epic

[glad acorn]

Gotta kill the phone to buy a new one

[soft tree]

didnt know you could get to 0

[alpine flare]

happens when out of topics

congrates

[soft tree]

now if only she reached 100 lol

shes 97

[carmine sedge]

One of the best interactions I had

Luckily I triggered max vibes on the 2nd statement

[soft tree]

jdjschaldhosdjfkdjmssj just reach 100 omg

[flint mesa]

damn level 1 to level 27 on may

got lucky went all the way to like 206 pts

[soft tree]

finally

[wide sorrel]

F myself I forgot to buy gifts

[soft tree]

what should you exchange in the shop - dupes of the lodge pairs or 150 uncaps?

im thinking the items to uncap

[blazing sapphire]

Dupes are much better than uncaps

[soft tree]

we have candies tho
