Trainer Lodge

[void lintel]

Like how a 5pt is Interesting Topic and a 10pt is Super Exciting

[random portal]

basically
1 Music note = Bad
2 Music Notes = meh
3 Music Notes = Best
trainer icon = Attention drop amount lowered

[void lintel]

Those are the three score categories

[short rock]

I see

[void lintel]

(Each turn that passes in the convo, adds +1pt to the score values. So on turn 11, those score values are 15pt, 17pt, and 20pt)

[orchid glade]

does vibe double the points?

[sharp solar]

It does

[void lintel]

Yes, including the turn bonus

[sharp solar]

The increase is still +1

[void lintel]

Theoretically, vibing is best done as late as possible
Problem being, of course, that the convo could drop before you succeed

[orchid glade]

so should be 24 on turn 3?

[void lintel]

Yes exactly

10pts base, plus 2pts from two turns before that, doubled

[sharp solar]

Three 5pt options say what

[orchid glade]

not sure why I prioritize hot 10 points on vibe lol

when it doesn't matter

[sharp solar]

Out of habit

[void lintel]

I do it for the heck of it

[sharp solar]

It doesn't matter that you select them - 10pt is 10pt

[orchid glade]

They should make it give a bonus in vibe

[sharp solar]

A bonus?

Ah, hot topics during mv

[orchid glade]

so 81 should be minimum points on turn three vibe

[sharp solar]

Perhaps a chance to keep one more turn or something

[sharp solar]

5+6+7 +16+18 = 18+34 = 52

[orchid glade]

I get 66 turn 2 or 81 turn 3 vibe

if all 10 points

[orchid glade]

so thats the minimun?

[sharp solar]

If you activate mv turn 3 and fall out of it

[orchid glade]

so better to reset then

sometimes I am too lazy to reset

[sharp solar]

I just don't reset at all, tried it for a few days at first, too bothersome

Lodge doesn't seem like it'd require such minmaxing

If you don't summon for every new lodge pair, you'll cap pretty quickly

[blazing sapphire]

I reset if I get 5 or 6 in with no max vibes

Otherwise eh like Rikko says. I'll get 'em

Don't have Cynthia or Marnie as it is

[sharp solar]

I just panic until I get max vibes.
"Is this a hot topic? No? Hell, another -10%"

[void lintel]

For what it's worth, 52 only happens if every single convo choice is three 5pt options

Which is bad but at least it's improbable

[sharp solar]

By the way, Giga, what are your thoughts on turn 2 max vibe?

[kind wagon]

WAIT YOU CAN RESET INTERACTIONS

this changes everything

[sharp solar]

We really need to pin a note on how to reset them properly

[kind wagon]

is that not this?

[sharp solar]

Only when you have 3 topics available. Don't reset while the pair is reacting to your choice, you might lose it all.

Ah, it is mentioned, right

[kind wagon]

yeah, that's already pinned, it's just that I had no idea they could even be reset

[sharp solar]

I mean, it is mentioned there

You don't lose any resources if you reset properly

[void lintel]

Definitely rather not

Theoretically if you get another Hot Topic on Turn 5, it can be similar

That's a smaller subset of "viable" results than resetting for a turn 3 Max Vibe though

[sharp solar]

If you get a hot topic on turn 5, your affection is around the same, but you lose some points

Just due to mv turn earlier

I recently looked at mv turn 2 and found absolutely no advantages over turn 3 max vibe.

[orchid glade]

ye there isn't any, turn three is better

[sharp solar]

It just was so strange because it was an alternative meta for some time when lodge first came out, so I was in disbelief.

[orchid glade]

ye getting better bonuses on vibe always made sense

I guess it was due to no one using items yet

[void lintel]

I kept... trying to tell people that the whole time

It's the "no, don't waste your life farming the EX Plaza for gear" thing all over again

Cassandra's curse.

[blazing sapphire]

0% chance of a drop is what i think most of it was

[void lintel]

...on Turn 4

[sharp solar]

Yeah, but why nobody compared the turns? Turn 5 has even bigger drop rate

[void lintel]

Folks were so paranoid of What if the convo drops as Max Vibes ends that they didn't count up how many turns they actually got out of it

[void lintel]

I did and I kept trying to tell people

[sharp solar]

Not loud enough

[void lintel]

Turn 2 Max Vibe resetting has a purpose: to skip buying Boost Juice
But, well, then we found out that the ring sucked

[orchid glade]

I still use ring as I hate resetting a lot

[void lintel]

Over and over

[orchid glade]

I've always focused on turn three if possible

[urban flicker]

Since I am doing 1 by 1 and not resetting anymore as much (except when I get 3 hot topic turn 1 or when I just have 5 pointers available)

I am using all the items, including juice

[void lintel]

I kinda wanna see how "Ring but no juice" goes, but not until after I've reached the absolute friendship cap (including extensions from Friend Keys)

(i.e. when I'm out of Friend Keys to keep extending)

[urban flicker]

If you have been grinding lodge for a while, you have so many silver material that it does not matter probably

[orchid glade]

No juice also means lots of resets

[urban flicker]

I can't consistently buy gold gift everyday but I can with silver

[void lintel]

Ring and Juice interfere with each other is the problem

[orchid glade]

Ye I got too much silver now

[void lintel]

To be clear, this would be without resetting for Turn 2 Max Vibe

[orchid glade]

its fine if doing multiple interactions but annoying when doing singles without all items

[void lintel]

Just using the ring to get All The Hot Topics one after another and letting the vibe happen when it happens

[orchid glade]

sometimes there are no options to turn one but its quite rare

[sick cedar]

Blue, you and I might be close, but I will fight you in a Denny’s /j

[sharp solar]

No juice?

[analog furnace]

How many interactions have you guys done? According to missions
Primarily for someone who’s maxed their interactions / got close to that

[river temple]

I just figured out rivals are what i want the most

Ive seem to have most blue's

And rivals/cool villians

I want more for lodge

[sick cedar]

I didn’t use juice since I’m saving a good chunk, and I was using six interactions at once

[sharp solar]

Saving for what?

[sick cedar]

Raihan

I like him a lot, idk what else I can really say

[wary swallow]

What are bonus events? Like do you have to do something when it appears?

[carmine pilot]

You'll find items on the ground

Nothing too special, mainly codex manuals

That doesn't look safe at all

[analog furnace]

It turns out that I didn’t learn my lesson and attempted to interact at 87, getting dropped twice in a row

Sunk cost

I’ve been getting below average interactions for about 2 weeks with the exception of 1-2 days now ngl

I’ll prob need yet another 2 days to finish my 4th pair at this rate

[little walrus]

4 pairs is really good still over 10 levels per day since start no?

[analog furnace]

I’ve been getting around 9-ish levels for the past 2 weeks with about 2 days as exception I think

I used to average around 13-ish tho, yeah. Prob lowered by now, struggling to get past 70-80% or get gifts off

[void lintel]

If you want a benchmark... I'm 35 levels into my 5th.
Cynthia, Blue, N, Lillie, are Lv100+; now working on Rosa

[analog furnace]

That sounds about right, dropped off to lose about 48 levels off my average the past 2 weeks. Lv87 on 4th rn

[carmine pilot]

5th also here, but I play on two phones and i always dc during the convo so I can just switch phones if it ends above 60

[analog furnace]

Ahh yeah I can’t be bothered with that ahah, good effort tho

Have you guys missed any interactions outta curiosity? I’m wanting to figure out if I missed a day recently

[carmine pilot]

Before I was resetting a lot
Now I just go straight for the score
Some are looking for low % on telegram one guy completed one unit in 5 days

But I'm fine by not getting shafted
I don't have too much time to waste on it

[analog furnace]

20 levels for 5 days, lucky but I can easily see that

[void lintel]

I've been having a lot of early dropouts too, though. N did it to me repeatedly.

[analog furnace]

It be like that fr

[night tide]

Once

But I don’t like lodge so maybe a lot more

[carmine pilot]

Not lucky, he was just dc-resetting with two phones
Basically you can do all the convo you want and keep the best one

[analog furnace]

Oh he was doing that as well, fair enough

[analog furnace]

@void lintel Hbu? Sorry for the ping mate, just wondering

[void lintel]

Huh?

[analog furnace]

How many interactions have you had so far? If you haven’t missed any/much, trying to figure out how much I missed

[sharp solar]

You can just count days since lodge's introduction

[analog furnace]

I’m not sure what day it was introduced + timezones + the 1st day including a prior reset makes it a bit weird, I figured it’d be easier if I could get an answer from 1 person

But I could try to figure it out with all that in mind ig, would just be a lil bit more difficult

[hard badger]

You can tell by the missions unless you interacted more than 300 times already

[analog furnace]

Yeah that’s why I asked, to get a number comparison from somebody else

Using the mission

[hard badger]

I'm at 207 but I missed the first day and didn't do 6 for the first few days

[analog furnace]

Is there anyone who knows how much they’ve missed? Or hasn’t missed any

[vestal kraken]

Is it best to use all interactions at once?

[analog furnace]

Not really if you want to keep to a more consistent average of level increases per day, but yes if you want to save time

[hollow kiln]

I hope Serena can be invited as a guest

[sharp solar]

That's just a bunch of excuses tbh

[hard badger]

Next Kalos should be a girl but I'm thinking it will be Diantha

[analog furnace]

The genuine answer is that I really believed it would've been easier, and I thought to go to this channel to ask. If me believing it'd be easier to ask here is an excuse to not do something that I believed would otherwise be more difficult, then yes

I don't really think it's wrong to ask about something a channel is dedicated to bc you believe the answer may be more easily obtained there

If anyone knows what date Lodge was introduced, lmk. Or is that another excuse?

[analog furnace]

All the champions are pretty easy options for each region, plus, they're all Poke Fairs (with the exception of Leon, which I'm not sure what they'll do about)

[sharp solar]

Nah, it's just that info gained from other people won't be as exact as what you would've found out yourself.

[void lintel]

Four gold-icon guests visible (proof of Friendship 100+) and Rosa at 35

I'm antisocial but I'm told I "have a strange charisma."

[analog furnace]

I think that's why I made the clarification, but what I can totally give you is that I may have been wrong in thinking that finding someone meeting the req to get an answer would be easier than trying to find a date & so on. I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask first either way, so I opted to ask. I'll try to get info elsewhere

[analog furnace]

You know how many days you missed? All good if not, thanks regardless!

[void lintel]

Zero days

[analog furnace]

Maximum interactions?

[void lintel]

I used all three interactions on "Day 0"
I was only able to buy one extra interaction, on the first day I could buy any at all (could've been Day 1, or 2, or even 3)
After that I was able to buy all interactions every day

[analog furnace]

Oh, interesting

[void lintel]

I also multi-Interact frequently. It makes things go faster since I do a good amount of resetting for a strong opener

200+ interactions seems like a good amount for the results to have averaged out

[analog furnace]

I'm the exact same with the exception of missing day 0, but I have 4 more somehow. And the numbers imply I've also missed some number of interactions, I think

[void lintel]

Sounds like you built Rare Cache teams before I did, and managed to start buying interactions sooner

~~So why do I have so many more friend levels than you? Charisma issue. Difference in charisma. ~~

[analog furnace]

Ahh, missed that last bit. Not sure if it was day 1, 2 or 3 when you could start getting all interactions

Then nevermind, that makes sense, yeah

[analog furnace]

It really is I dropped like 4 levels from my average for about 12 days, which I think puts me at about 48 levels down from what my average was previously. I think I'd literally be at around the same amount of levels if it weren't for that

I bet you've been getting around 13 levels a day

[void lintel]

In the distant future, I'm seeing the possibility that we might stop wanting to buy the extra Interactions daily--
when we've maxed all our Guests and have run out of keys. Problem is, the extra levels from key income will probably outpace the friendship gains from only three interactions per day, so you gotta... zigzag between them to try maintaining a steady growth

[analog furnace]

I can definitely see that, yeah. Especially considering we'll only be getting a pair a month, and who knows if it's even a pair all of us have

[void lintel]

...Hmmmm. At that point, it might become better to just cease buying gold gifts completely. You don't need the Friendship score multiplier anymore, and the tier3 stones can help buy more keys...

The choice is 30 of each tier4 stone for a gold key (+10 levels) or 3000 of each tier3 and 30 of each tier4 for three silver keys (3×5= +15 levels)

Hmm...

Maybe I should stop buying gold gifts now, in fact.

Thinking some more... Tier3 stone income would not be able to keep up with the tier4 stone income necessary to solely buy silver keys. So this method would be alongside gold key income rather than replacing it.

It'd still require giving up on gold gifts, though

(Well, screw 'em. They're so risky anyway.)

[long nymph]

I finally got the bonus event today, and i thought my app had problems because i never encountered it before

Can they drop lodge stones?

[sharp solar]

We don't have new drop info yet, but I don't recall lodge stones being spotted

[void lintel]

Absolutelypm seems to know something. They tweeted about "50 bonus events" and a 10% rate...

[vernal lava]

Finally reached 12 topics 😩 And of course it’s when I max out friendship

[eternal mural]

Does feel ring do its job now

13 levels

[blazing sapphire]

This is why I unlock everyone to 110

[carmine sedge]

I'm just thankful it ended at the right moment

3rd lodge unit done

[eternal mural]

Should I use feel ring

Or is it still bugged

[sharp bramble]

N YOU ANTISOCIAL JERK

[analog furnace]

“Maybe I can finish Lillie today?”
85 drop into 96 drop right after Max Vibes

Unless 10 levels in 4 interactions? Maybe

[eternal mural]

Help

[analog furnace]

What bug?

[eternal mural]

Before apparently feel ring gave you less hot topics than normal

[analog furnace]

Never heard of this

You mean that it stacks too many hot topics early?

[eternal mural]

No

It gives you less hot topics than an interaction without it would

[analog furnace]

Then I’ve never heard of this and my experience would also say otherwise

Alongside many others’ experiences

Not sure if this is something from last reset or whatever

[eternal mural]

Ok

1 more day maybe!!!!

[analog furnace]

Can def do it Need 1 decent day

[eternal mural]

I can do two more gold x6's

So maximum 2 days prob

[analog furnace]

I think you’ll only need 1 or barely more than that lol

[eternal mural]

Idk who to do after sycamore

Cuz he is the last fave that is currently in lodge

[analog furnace]

Lodge has made me close to saying I hate my first ever Pokemon character ngl

[jovial moon]

It happened to me too with blue

I was at 99 for 2 whole interactions coz he chose to leave at 90+% 2x, giving me not enough exp to get to 100 😮‍💨

[long nymph]

Not move coins, but at least better than exp books ...thanks sycamore

[dense saddle]

Thanks for dumping me twice (two days in a row) dummy

Yo what

Isn't it supposed to be useless books

[knotty nymph]

got it from a team rocket event

[urban zinc]

So event give better items

[knotty nymph]

sometimes apparently

pretty sure i had gioking on that team

[keen wolf]

I hate how often it crashes after picking pokeballs

[wide tiger]

https://i.4cdn.org/vg/1664536280692529.jpg

[eternal mural]

Snorlax is about to eat the child

[kind marlin]

I thought the pokeballs with items only came once a day for each area (two a day) but for a few days recently I’ve gotten 3 for some reason

I thought I had just missed something but today I definitely collected my two and then logged on a few hours later and got 1 more

[rigid pilot]

Chose blue

[orchid glade]

awesome 👌

I might do Blue next

[rigid pilot]

F2p sucks for lodge

Eventually gonna run out

[orchid glade]

ye its too limited

my rerolls also will run out

[rigid pilot]

Which sucks ass

As even if you don't give a shit about the pair

Getting to 100 gives alot of good stuff

[orchid glade]

I hate that it's locked to one character and not alts

Why can't all Cynthia's unlock Gastrodon

[rigid pilot]

Instead we get a picture

Oohhhhh

Wtf am I gonna do with my capped pairs

The 150 paper is nice and all

[orchid glade]

ye exactly 💯

[rigid pilot]

But like

[orchid glade]

They should give one free and one fair every month

[rigid pilot]

^

At least 1 spotlight

Spotlight at the very least man

It isn't technically free

But at least u eventually can get it

[orchid glade]

yes that would count too

[rigid pilot]

Pokefair is all or nothing

Is either u pull when it's up

Or u skip

[orchid glade]

ye seems weird to be locked to them

[rigid pilot]

I mean is definitely money reason

But like

Pay walling on lodge is just

[orchid glade]

I don't mind it if they gave options for F2P like us

[rigid pilot]

It is a legit paywall the longer it goes on without f2p pairs

[orchid glade]

like you can't get rewards after 3 months if F2P

[rigid pilot]

Hell even newbie dolphins too

They still have to wait too

[sonic stream]

I always risk 1 topic from 100 to whatever before giving the gift. If I get 2 hot topics in a row I risk 100 to 95 then 95 to 90. But that's all. And I still get screwed like 30% of the time doing that

[deep tree]

Then no pokeball ...

[carmine sedge]

Did you look around?

[urban zinc]

there isn't always one

[kind wagon]

my man is doing Kanto roadblock simulator

[deep tree]

it happened during shout time too ...

[sonic stream]

Does the event spawn an extra pokeball besides the daily one?

[deep tree]

it is supposed to, but not sure about the odds ...

[tepid stone]

...huh 2 days in a row of a 3* friend key from chest and a strike candy coin from cynthia

worst candy coin but still pretty good I guess

[grizzled pagoda]

Ok so what do I do now I don’t see any buttons

Or is that just for show

[carmine sedge]

Bonus events are just completely random right?

[deep tree]

yes

they probably drop pokeball ...

[carmine sedge]

Ok, that's kind of a relief I guss

[tepid stone]

oof on the other hand I've had two days of extremely bad conversational luck in a row. 4 out of 6 talks yesterday ended at or before the second attention drop

[lucid gulch]

The regular tomes ones? (Not even codex)

So i guess is a malus event, since it basically blocks you from getting the cheer up bonus, for an useless tome

Or you can get something decent?

[deep tree]

not sure, but probably the same ....

[urban flicker]

the items are pretty much useless that you get from these bonus event

you can get them by doing your daily routine at reset every time

[zealous osprey]

20 lvs with only silver gifts a good day to finish marnie
Managed to finish her in 5.5 days

[austere viper]

Not bad, if I do say so myself ( think it how it goes)
Next one tho she left at the end of max vibes, didn't know it could happen lol

Got to 77 lvl really happy

[little walrus]

My best round ever poor choices but she stuck around

[carmine sedge]

Who's this?

[little walrus]

wait what

3rd chest

[wooden marsh]

[cold ferry]

lets go

[void lintel]

Event expedition slot, huh... cooooool

[urban flicker]

wait I don't get it

what does it mean

[cold ferry]

a third team

pretty dope

[urban flicker]

Ah

Gotta take advantage of that with a chest team

[next junco]

third team is real?

[urban flicker]

Triple chest team?

[next junco]

The value of sync orb and level up manual go down respectively

ok will it stop at 99,999?

[void lintel]

A temporary third expedition team slot, much like the temporary second egg incubator

[urban flicker]

It lasts for a while tho

so it's pretty nice

[void lintel]

I'm having problems forming a new team for it, though...

I want another 9blue 10rare team but the best I can do with the units I have left, is 8blue 10rare

Double half-regions
Lillie Lusamine Gladion
Cynthia Barry Aaron

Rare Extract

[cold ferry]

raise the damage and item cap to 999999

more space for the exdition items

send that in feedback

[void lintel]

The exhausting lack of +3rare Supports is extra painful now...

[little walrus]

What are the expedition values on new halloween stuff ?

[void lintel]

1/1/1/0

Or do you mean characters

Allister: typeless Support (expecting +2 blue)
Helena: typeless Tech (expecting +2 yellow)
Iris: typeless Tech (expecting +2 yellow)
Victor: Main Character Striker (expecting +2 red)
Melony: Gym Leader Support (expecting +1 blue and +1 of another color)
Gordy: Gym Leader Tech (expecting +1 yellow and +1 of another color)

[little walrus]

Yeah was wondeif any 2/3 chest

[upper lake]

🤝 Victor: Fiery ↑2
🤝 Sygna Suit Wally: Rare ↑2 Fiery ↓2
🤝 Raihan (Lodge): Fiery ↑1 Wistful ↑1
🤝 Iris (Fall 2022): Soothing ↑2
🤝 Allister (Fall 2022): Wistful ↑2
🤝 Gordie: Fiery ↑1 Soothing ↑1
🤝 Melony: Soothing ↑1 Wistful ↑1
🤝 Helena (Hex Maniac): Soothing ↑2

[void lintel]

All as expected. Thanks.

[void lintel]

Pomatools doesn't have the expedition skills but does have the theme skills, and that's what matters

Rival, Battle Facility Foe, and Villain are the themeskills that allow for Rare Cache

Wally's the only one this month (Rival)

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)

[maiden haven]

I won't mind even 10 rare 0 everything else honestly

or a bit yellow since my mat is very slowly running out

(the lowest tier one)

[void lintel]

I reconfigured my teams A and B to use Omni instead of Rare extract and that solved my tier1 stone issues

[maiden haven]

can't do that sadly

lacking critical characters

[void lintel]

Team A, 10red 10rare: Selene, SSLusamine, Hau, Olivia, Guzma, Plumeria (actually has 11 red but can't really make use of the extra wiggle room meaningfully)
Team B, 9blue 10rare: Evelyn, Nita, Sycamore, Lysandre, any +3 blue, any +2 rare that doesn't harm blue

Both omni

[maiden haven]

no Lysandre no LuSSa

[void lintel]

9blue 10rare might still be possible but not at the same time as the red&rare team listed (it would be via Alola)

[maiden haven]

I don't have Lana

[lucid gulch]

Wait it can happen?

I mean leaving at the end of max vibes?

[void lintel]

It can.

The two turns that Max Vibes "protect" are the turn you enter it, and the turn in the middle

Not the turn that ends it

[lucid gulch]

So the safest way to not lose that opportunity to use the gift is using it turn 3 or getting max vibes turn 2 and using the gift just after it

[void lintel]

Turn 3 max vibes is basically better

[lucid gulch]

I have a 10blue 10rare in team B

[void lintel]

That requires SSGio, I believe

I don't have him

(It also requires SSKris but I do have her)

[lucid gulch]

Yes it does

Sadly blue teams are hard to do

Every region with 1-6 blue doesn't have proper rare units

All the +3 rare have -2 blue

Maybe if they release all the Kalos BP master units, wit all the same expedition skills

[maiden haven]

Shauna would be Rival

so +2 rare right

unless they rename the rivals to something else

[void lintel]

Malva's a bit of a mystery. She's Elite 4, but she's also a member of Team Flare so she could have Villain

...If she's a Support, then it's great either way

[maiden haven]

Drasna support with Type rebuff and offensive buffs

[void lintel]

yespls

Drasna Support would also be a big help to the Kalos blue/rare build

[glad pasture]

Re: the convo earlir about why theyre releasing PokeFairs for the Lodge -- I think it increases value proposition for old PokeFairs because now you're technically pulling for 2 units at once

I fully agree with the idea they should drop free/genpools alongside the fairs or at the very least alternate each month but I wouldn't knock the idea of having PokeFairs in lodge (again, especially the older, more "outclassed" ones, like N)

Steven and Lance are coming lol.

[spiral cosmos]

i didn't expect them to dripfeed one additional trainer a month. releasing the pokefair banner every month i will expect

[mild edge]

N fan I guess

[covert pivot]

Man, I still haven’t seen a bonus event

[little walrus]

Just back in and out repeatedly until you have one load, I was in your same boat 1/100 ish odds so quite a few reload

[zealous osprey]

A third team? Guess I'll need a third red/cache team then.
I've finished Rosa, Lillie, Sycamore and Marnie, planning to work on May next week. After that, all I need is the fiery crystals.

Happened to me once before as well, I think with N or Silver. Lv99, 98/100 exp
This time just feels rougher bc I've already been getting the short end of the stick almost everyday for the last 2 weeks

Hoping my luck just resets with Blue honestly

[rancid lance]

Nice, so if Blue didn’t quit on me before I used an item yesterday I would’ve been done with him today

[glad acorn]

Damn, another exp slot?

Oh, temporary

P2W event soon

[void lintel]

~~Look, a use for Mimirola ~~

[night tide]

Omg I have Furburt and Faitlin I’m winning

[crimson surge]

[inland axle]

That’s so cool

[night tide]

How are you here squinja

[night tide]

Arzen is here too but idk if you ever knew them

[inland axle]

I’m a pokemon masters ex gamer

[night tide]

Pog

[inland axle]

The name arzen doesn’t ring a bell

Why do you like calem so much

Is he your fave

[verbal prairie]

I haven't gotten any bonus events yet. Is that normal? There's no way to trigger them right?

[sharp solar]

They're random, plus last for a limited time

[verbal prairie]

so I'm just really unlucky? or don't look at my phone enough?

[next junco]

If you lucky like me you can get the void bonus event tho

[sharp solar]

Masters isn't supposed to be played all day, so if you visit lodge once/twice per day, you have a good chance of missing it

[glad acorn]

Seems like my hunch is right

New pokefair gets added every month while the others join the 8%

[sharp solar]

It may rotate if a new one isn't added

[sick cedar]

I love this man I had him prior to the draws so he’s going in like now and I’m gonna struggle so hard trying to level his friendship

[carmine sedge]

Bleh, I got 7 levels with Silver today, good start amirite?

[wooden marsh]

Very risky but it's a nice start

[verbal prairie]

wow Lillie left at 91%...I hate how random this is. I've been shafted at 80+% most of the time

[neat blade]

Should I exchange the lodge stones for level up sync move materials or should I exchange them only for certificates of excellence?

[verbal prairie]

I've been recommended that support lodge pairs are good purchases

[formal forge]

Support candies are more limited, but you should have enough strike and tech candies for those pairs

[neat blade]

I'm asking since the level cap is around 9.999.999 and you get 10 stones per level.

[glad acorn]

Sync level for support lodge pairs. Yolo on strike

[kind sleet]

Jackpot with N. Another 0%😍

[eternal mural]

2 more interactions to make 6 levels,can i make it

Nvm

[jovial moon]

It's not worth it to try for raihan just to unlock the lodge right

[formal forge]

How does Raihan compare to the other lodge pairs?

[eternal mural]

Nah

We have lots of good non limited rock pairs

[glad acorn]

Raihan is rather average as a pair. Hence the upgrades

[jovial moon]

The lodge unit that comes with him is kinda nice tho 🤔

But I guess we don't need it if we have Bertha

[glad acorn]

The sandstorm is on entry only. Lodge Raihan has no other means to set it up again

[nocturne aurora]

omg Raihan is in

[wary wasp]

trying so hard not to pull for him 🥶

[nocturne aurora]

ok i think the vibe is gonna go well

[dense sonnet]

😒

[graceful granite]

Hopefully will be done with rosa tomorrow

[hollow kiln]

So we can have a 3rd exhibition team?

[urban flicker]

Maybe it's a bit early to tell but

do we know his 10 pointers already

oh, PoMaTools added that

nevermind

[mortal shard]

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

[nocturne aurora]

this was added days ago too

@urban flicker

[crisp hornet]

Lodge events

[graceful mesa]

when will more characters get interactions

I want a gloria one

[hot solar]

I've never taken a step into 4chan, bruh

[urban zinc]

It seems like Raihan will be the 2nd character that it's not optimal to date him in the lodge

he's not super excited by both pasio and the lodge

[hot solar]

So the place matters?

[urban zinc]

yes

[hot solar]

I thought so but never seen anyone mention it before

[urban zinc]

It's pinned lol

well it's in the middle of a long text

[hot solar]

I visit this channel monthly 😂

[urban zinc]

We still have some research to do

[random portal]

I just found something out!!!

You can exit and return from the expedition menu. And you will have a chance for a special event to spawn!

Just exit and come back to it

[urban zinc]

someone found it before you but thanks

[random portal]

Idc. Anyways team rocket moment

[sonic stream]

My new best, shame it wasn't 1.5x

[random portal]

Ok another i learned. You can actually grind codexes this way. Just got another pokeball from this one.

Third pokeball now.

[orchid glade]

So how you grinding when they rarely show up?

[maiden haven]

same man

[urban zinc]

Btw @orchid glade do you have any new info on that

Added a new page to the expedition sheet, with all best interaction locations

[random cloud]

Wait, interaction locations are important?

[random portal]

I got 6 events to happen in the span of an hour.

[next junco]

I mean if you only stay in lodge then it not gonna matter

all character like pasio and trainer lodge

[random portal]

Make that 7 now.

[urban zinc]

Some of them have exclusive topics

[random portal]

Ok nvm. 8 and i got gold pearls from it.

[random cloud]

Huh, TIL

[random portal]

AYO!?

I wonder if this drop chart has rarer things.

[austere viper]

Do bonus have better PokeBall?

[random portal]

They do. Got another 10 gold pearls when regular pokeballs drop 5 silver pearls

Seems to be upgrades of the usual 5 bronze to 10 of the next level of item

So instead of 5 tomes, it will be 10 silver codexes

And repeating events will stoll have a poleball as long as it spawns

So far have had 13 events occur in thos short span of time.

Also 500 sync orbs turned into 1000 sync orbs.... so by that logic. There is a chance that a bonus event will drop 100 lodge stones than the usual 50 lodge stones.

[kind wagon]

Which of the lodge pairs are useful to go for? I already got Blue and Cynthia, and I have everyone except for Marnie and Raihan

[random portal]

N and Silver

[upper lake]

[urban zinc]

More research needs to be done

[hot solar]

In terms of pairs you can get - I personally like Lillie's and N's a lot, Sycamore's Bulbasaur was said to be Gardenia 2.0 with Dauntless available without using the lucky skill

[wide tiger]

https://i.4cdn.org/vg/1664623424584722.jpg

[random cloud]

I had Team Rocket show up as my 1st rare event and tbh it spooked me

“Wait, where is everyone? Why are there only Team Rocket grunts here?”

[long nymph]

I got Grant teaching 3 Ace Trainers...both of my bonus event pops up at Team B...is there limit of times that it can pops up?

[random portal]

@long nymph you can exit and come back and it will reroll for another bonus event.

just did a whole one hour experiment and had 13 events pop up

[long nymph]

We can do it how many times daily?

[random portal]

it's infinite

[long nymph]

Wow, because i just got 1k sync orbs from one of them

[random portal]

you can also get an item for each bonus event

there's a chance to get 100 Lodge stones from them too.

[long nymph]

Daymmm let me spam it

[random portal]

from what I'm seeing, the drop rates are the same as the ones in Pins, but doubled and if possible will increase in tiers.

ex. 5 Tomes = 10 Codexes in bonus event

[long nymph]

That 100 lodge stones just changes things

[random portal]

just keep exiting and reentering the expeditions tab

and you'll get a ton of bonus events

[long nymph]

I got missingno bonus event, cannot event click the ball

After i exited and reenter it fixed but i cannot claim the item from the bugged event

Sad

Everything is empty in that bugged event

[random portal]

restart the game maybe?

never had that happened to me

[long nymph]

It already back to normal after i do this, but sad maybe that pokeball is 100 lodge stones

Let me try to trigger another event before i restart

[late sluice]

Can you get lodge stones from the pokeballs?

I've never seen that

[long nymph]

The next one is ok

Probably one of the event is bugged

And just my luck that i triggered that one

At least, i show you guys missingno event

[long nymph]

I did get 50 from normal daily reset pokeball, and 100 from daily gift from sycamore....but i still haven't get lodge stones from bonus event yet, but i do get big pearls

Another one is also ok, so probably only that one event is bugged out

[wary wasp]

1% chance for 50 of them

[late sluice]

Congrats you got missingno event as well

Apologems

[next junco]

[blazing sapphire]

Finally

[next junco]

people should collect Viola journey to capture all pokemon trainer picture tho

i saw 3 already

[velvet dawn]

Do you guys have or know any guide for specialized expedition farming?

[next junco]

go for 2 chest team

i never run out of silver for juice and ring both

[abstract marlin]

Thx lillie

2 more for 2/3 steven

[velvet dawn]

What am i supposed to do when a bonus event happens in the expedition?

[void lintel]

Check the ground for a pokeball and pick it up

Otherwise nothing

[kind wagon]

legit, that's it?

[kind wagon]

thanks

[random portal]

That's it

[sick cedar]

Oh holy hell he’s a giant

[upper lake]

50/50
average pokemon protagonist is short

hilbert is 1.4 meter iirc

[crisp hornet]

IIRC even in main game he is huge

[void lintel]

The man clearly drinks his milk

...Wonder if Whitney ought to be taller than she is, considering her own easy access to milk (owns a miltank, milks it regularly)

[steel crag]

Raihan better than Lillie?

[sick cedar]

He was pretty tall in the main game, but you can rarely be close enough to him to get a solid measure.

[crisp hornet]

You kinda do

[stone epoch]

/lodge raihan

[sick cedar]

i said rarely not never, i know you can be like right next to him in the Star Tourney as well

[carmine pilot]

Shalour sables? That's not even listed

[nocturne aurora]

you're right

[dapper scarab]

infographics can be whack haha

[nocturne aurora]

i'll go ping Zamcio that he updates it

it's a 5 pointer right?

[carmine pilot]

5 point under items on pomatool

I picked it just for the knowledge

[lethal marsh]

Hi guys in what order should I raise friendship between Sycamore, Lillie, Rosa and May?

[upper lake]

depending on your roster
you may choose randomly

[lethal marsh]

Well but in terms of utility
I know Sycamore is a striker and doesn't deserve much attention
May is not that good either according to what I've read
Mainly I don't know if I should raise Rosa or Lillie first

[carmine sedge]

I thought Sycamore is a tech?

[lethal marsh]

Oh well, sorry about that

I know all the lodge sync pairs are situational, nothing over the edge, yet I'd like to raise them in order of importance, regardless of roaster
I know number 1 priority should be Blue, then Silver
I'd like to know

[carmine sedge]

Lillie can be a decent fairy damage dealer

She just needs crit support

Too bad she doesn't have Pecking Order or Devastation

[void lintel]

The Bulbasaur's kit looks like the kind of thing a Tech would have, but it's actually just a Striker with a lot of damage multipliers

[maiden haven]

got the bugged bonus event

[void lintel]

The reason not to go for the Bulbasaur is... Sycamore's Xerneas can do Grass Striking well. If he's busy, you have Silver with Solarbeam. If he's busy, I think people still recommend Gardenia for the free 4star pick

[maiden haven]

had to close the game after trying to get that invisible PokeBall

[void lintel]

And if you really need actual Grass Tech, there's Erika/Vileplume

All freebies

The Bulbasaur's kit looks like fun! But for a beginner, you have plenty of free substitutes

(Plus maybe you got SS Leaf from the Victory Road ticket scout)

[carmine sedge]

I forget, is Lodge Sycamore's role tech?

[void lintel]

I... just

said

Striker

[carmine sedge]

Ok ok, Jesus help me

[jade trout]

Can you get an unlimited amount of drop ins a day

[rancid lance]

I think the list of pairs’ preferred topics should be pinned too

[sharp solar]

It is?

[rancid lance]

I don't see it in the pins

oh, serebii

I was looking for the images so I can save them to my phone to have faster and easier viewing

[sharp solar]

You can get images in #bot-zone

[rancid lance]

i c, ty

[severe river]

Not sure if we can contact the creator of the infographic, but the /lodge rosa should have Hugh as super exciting

[urban zinc]

It's on pomatools too

[vast aspen]

Best one i got so far, 20 levels

Me realizing this might foreshadow when the EoS gonna happen from the score i got

[urban zinc]

EoS never

[blazing sapphire]

What’s the current item meta regarding juice and ring?

[sharp bramble]

Buy them all, you’re drowning in materials lol

[sharp solar]

Ring may screw you over, juice is pretty nice

[wary wasp]

makes up for the past 3 shaft days 💀

[pale cedar]

idk how u x6 gamers do it

[blazing sapphire]

It’s the same but faster

[wary wasp]

it’s called being lazy all day and risking it before bed 🤪

[pale cedar]

I do 2x3 and its already scary

[minor elm]

I just want to know who to go for next, i got gastrodon this morning and got wailmer a few weeks ago

[carmine pilot]

If you're looking for decent LG units you'll probably go for N and Blue

Even raihan could be interesting

[minor elm]

Only 2 lodge units im missing are marnie and raihan so

Ill go for N first, then blue, and after that just wtv, thanks

[shrewd gorge]

agreed omfg

i've done them one by one throughout the day lol

[glad acorn]

get salted for the whole day when you get the bad roll

[untold coral]

Can someone explain to me how this works??

[glad acorn]

The more pairs in the team from the same region

3 Kalos in one team will give 3 Wistful for Sycamore

[eternal mural]

Who should I do next?Lillie,n or rosa?

[severe river]

1. Whoever you like the most
2. Whoever you think matches your playstyle the best

[hollow kiln]

I hope Serena can be invited to trainer’s lodge someday

[carmine sedge]

What mon will she have?

[carmine sedge]

You know for me not getting a lot of hot topics for this interaction, this is my best interaction with Silver

[severe river]

Female Meowstic maybe?

[carmine sedge]

But this is still day 2 with him so yeah

[carmine sedge]

I guess

[twilit venture]

Good

[carmine sedge]

Damn, I wish my first interaction with Silver is like that

[twilit venture]

I also got likely the worst hot topic for him lmao

[carmine sedge]

What is the worst hot topic for him?

[hollow kiln]

Possibly furfrou or pancham

[twilit venture]

Hobbies
Only 1 10 points

And overall there's like 9 topics at all with hobbies for him

[urban flicker]

I was wondering

the reset thing that you do for a Bonus event to appear

can you do the same for the cheer bonus

[sharp solar]

Cheers have a set time limit between each one, at least as we know

[urban flicker]

[orchid glade]

how does resetting work?

[urban flicker]

You go back to the menu and then click on expedition again

[sinful ridge]

First time I’ve gotten to 0%.

[urban flicker]

@orchid glade Clicking here will bring back to the menu where you can either click on Expedition or Lodge exchange

You click on that, then on Expedition again, do this until you get a bonus event

[quasi sigil]

how rare is the drop-in event? (is it completely random or is there a set probability that has been found out) I still haven't had any

[nocturne aurora]

me neither

[blazing sapphire]

I had my first one today. Keep it up folks!

[wooden marsh]

About halfway there, hopefully 4 more days to go

[orchid glade]

interesting thanks going to try that 👍

I finished Sycamore on most of my accounts and now onto Blue

[upper lake]

dammit 50 levels in 2 days

[orchid glade]

looks more like three days

[wooden marsh]

Raihan was only added yesterday...

But yeah I did save interactions for him

[orchid glade]

let me know how Gigalith is when you can

[wooden marsh]

Sure!

For anyone who is interested, you can bring forward or save (up to 7) interactions from the previous day. Useful for when you want to get a head start on a new lodge character or flex big numbers

Note that no interactions were wasted
Day 1: 3 + 3 - 1 = 5
Day 2: 5 + 3 + 3 - 4 = 7
Day 3: 7 + 3 + 3 = 13 for Raihan

Here's a video of how I saved interactions
https://youtu.be/-Q3pKGic0EY

P.S. When you use all interactions, close the game without choosing any topics

[orchid glade]

dont you still miss the daily three and extras

I can save max 6

[wooden marsh]

When you use all interactions and close the game, then return after reset, the game will refund the interactions after the daily three

That's what I did, as shown in the video too

[onyx quarry]

Was on track to get blue to lvl 100 today but he went and left during x3 interaction before hot topic and before gift at 93%

[upper lake]

oh true

[urban zinc]

N I hate you

[orchid glade]

Interesting

[carmine sedge]

But if you close the app during the interaction animation, then that will be counted as finished but will not gain the xp

[carmine pilot]

Interesting trick!

But one question, why you need 13 interactions if the max use/day is 10 anyways?
You'll have 6 interactions next day

I mean, you can save just 4 interactions the day before
You'll hit 10 the next

[wooden marsh]

Because I wanted to have 13 interactions for Raihan, this was from yesterday

[wooden marsh]

And this from today

[carmine pilot]

Wait you can do more than 10 interaction daily?

[wooden marsh]

Yeah, use 10 and then exchange for 3 more

[carmine pilot]

Oh that changes everything
So there's no limit with daily interactions
The limit is just 10 x conversations

So you can stack endlessy and complete one unit in one day once you finished everything

[wooden marsh]

No, you can only hold up to 10 interactions and exchange for 3 more after using them (hence only save up to 7 interactions to avoid any waste)

The max is 13 interactions in a single day

[carmine pilot]

Yeah what i meant, once i finished every unit
I can stack the extra +3 from the shop endlessy (losing the 3 free daily ofc)

[carmine pilot]

Oh, then there's a cap

[carmine pilot]

Oh there it is

[random portal]

Something i learned yesterday. Apparently there may be a softcap to bonus events. Had 15 spawn yesterday but after that, it seems they just stopped.

Also thanks sycamore.

[wary wasp]

is there a way to manipulate BE’s? or is it tied to being apart of the day 🤪

[random portal]

BEs?

[wooden marsh]

Bonus events

[random portal]

Oh. @wary wasp just exit and reenter the expdetion menu until you get it.

[lethal marsh]

I don't find it in pins: which would be a good team to get 10yellow/10chests on team A? I need to run that for a couple of days since I've run out of tier 1 yellow items

[void lintel]

You don't need a 10yellow team for tier1 yellow stones. If you can reconfigure your teams to both use Omni Extract, you get more than enough for 6 specs and 6 shovels daily

Alternatively you can reconfigure a team on the fly when Cheer is active, to gain an extra level of Yellow without harming red/blue/cache

Here is my non-Cheer team A (SSLusa can be substituted with SSGio and still have 10 Red)

With Cheer on, I swap the bottom half for Unova (Anniversary N can be substituted for an off-region trainer if you swap Olivia out for Shauntal or Caitlyn)

Before I reconfigured my teams this way, I was below 1000 yellow Tier1s. About a week or two later, they're steadily climbing.

Team B. This actually only gets 9Blue/10Cache without Cheer. SSGio (whom I don't have) and Rare Extract are necessary to reach 10/10.
The two off-regions on the right can be substituted safely.

I don't have a good way to reconfigure this to squeeze another Yellow level in during Cheer

So I just leave it the way it is

It may be possible to also accomplish 9Blue/10Rare with Lillie, two Alola, and three off-regions.

When the temporary event-exclusive Team C opens up, with Rare Cache bonuses for Halloween seasonal characters... It may be possible to assemble 10Blue+10Rare using Halloween Caitlyn and Halloween Allister (2Blue, plus 1Rare for the event)

[wooden marsh]

Yeah it's possible for Team C, 0/1/10/10 with Rare Extract

Fall Caitlin (+2 Blue +1 Rare)
Fall Allister (+2 Blue +1 Rare)
Sonia (+5 Blue, 5 Galar)
Gloria (+2 Rare)
Hop (+2 Rare -2 Red)
Summer Marnie (+2 Rare -2 Red)

[lethal marsh]

@void lintel thanks a lot for the detailed info, I'll use that when the next cheer comes up!

[urban zinc]

oh boi am i really gonna need to add 6 slots teams for events in the sheet ?

[alpine tusk]

Is there a guide in how many which choices gives more points?

[sharp solar]

[lavish basalt]

Game bugged so I have a different view of lodge

[void lintel]

It is a game mode where you grow closer to your teammates
So you literally stepped forward to physically get closer to them

"Oh? You are approaching me?"
"I can't recruit you with your Gastrodon without approaching you."

[orchid glade]

not sure if this was shared yet

what you get from special event poke balls

[knotty nymph]

Not even all that good lol

the only one I actually want are the stones

[void lintel]

Codices are nice for the highly-demanded types

Tomes are still hecking worthless

So at least more of these are useful

[knotty nymph]

I do need a few more psychic and water codexes

got 90% of my units to 140 already tho

[orchid glade]

I can't remember if my main account needs codexes still

[wary wasp]

this one’s cool

[sick cedar]

Not terrible but I probably could’ve done better

[static portal]

One time I got 50x lodge stones from the regular pokeballs too!

Curious what those rates are

[knotty nymph]

1%

congrats

[worldly ivy]

Aaaaaa am at lvl 87 with lillie so either I get lucky and hit lvl 100 with her tomorrow, or she sits at 98-99, taunting me

[thick widget]

Happened to Rosa for me. Hope you can get her next reset

[carmine sedge]

Could be worse I guess

[sharp solar]

that's Nanu's quote, not Silver's

Also N was a good boy today

Also what are the chances of this 💀

[dry wolf]

First time actually making it down to 0%

Sad that I didn't got the pair today, but at the same time, this is probably the best interaction I got in lodge

And it bothers me how lillie kept being a pain at first, and just now she gets good

[random nexus]

at which lvl you get battle villa location

[wooden marsh]

40

[random nexus]

oh god lol

[urban flicker]

Cynthia left 2 times at 93%

and another at 85%

are you shitting me

New upcoming bonus for the Expedition and interaction

that's pretty nice

[upper lake]

codex should be permanent tho

[long nymph]

lodge stones i wonder if i can do 3 chest lvl10 teams for halloween

[urban flicker]

Probably?

The halloween units have bonus if used in expedition

[rain belfry]

Hold on, what? We get another team slot?

[long nymph]

Yep for limited time got third expedition team for Halloween

[rain belfry]

Oh sick

[long nymph]

I guess I'm gonna put my Unova team on the Halloween slot...fall pairs seem to get extra rare chest drops when put in that team, as I'm gonna pull for FallIris later.

[urban zinc]

I want to die

[eternal mural]

Is that good?

[eternal mural]

No boost juice?

[urban zinc]

I'm not using the juice

[urban zinc]

That's an average result

[eternal mural]

You should

[long nymph]

I already skipped using feel ring ...seems like I got a better choice for interaction if the conversation drags on

[warm plank]

I used all the items tho, coz eventually we will have stack of those materials

[sharp solar]

Using feel ring isn't the problem of materials. Feel ring brings up hot topics too soon, so you will get less ht when they matter the most.

[analog furnace]

Got dropped at 96, but still managed to get 15 levels today. My luck is finally turning around

"This seems to look great on them."
"Look, I did promise* them..."
"Woops, sorry. Right now, I should be spending time with you."
"This looks great on you."
"(Well, gotta keep my promises on both sides)"

• • Scottie/Bettie asked for Raihan to help them dress up

[random portal]

They are permanent. Those drops are the same for bonus events. The third expedition is basically counting as a bonus event.

Tl:dr spam expedition menu on and off a day = chance for codex drop a day. You can do this multiple times a day too.

[upper lake]

no, standard drops includes tomes, not codex
https://pastebin.com/HTX11BPG

[random portal]

I said bonus events. Not regular expeditions.

You can spawn bonus events by just exiting and entering expeditions making them a permanent chance than just luck

[upper lake]

oh... but i was talking of regular drop...

[random portal]

Exactly. You can make bonus event drops regular drops. They're not limited time things or by luck.

You can have the regular drops. On top of the event drops. And it's not a limited thing. You can get both in the same day

[upper lake]

1. considering that we don't know how event drops work, it may take a lot of time to activate
2. still i was talking about normal drop, because regardless of the time that it would take, there's no way that i'll do this process

We actually do know how they work.

It's a 10% chance for them to spawn after entering the expedition. Each zone has that 10%. It will take usually about 1-3 mins for a event to spawn. Maybe even sooner depending on rolls. And each time an event spawns, they will always have a item.

I literally tested this for like an hour and had 15 events spawn in that time frame

If you need proof. I posted a whole bunch of my event drops a few days ago. Let me get the message start frame.

[random portal]

There it is

[upper lake]

this mechanic seems very stupid...
it relies on loading the stage so many times
not everyone has a decent phone for farming

[random portal]

i didn't think expeditions would be that laggy unless you're on high quality settings.

But regardless it is a method found.

[upper lake]

it's kinda normal for me
but a lot of people have worse phone than mine

also still that the concept of loading every time is shit

[random portal]

It's the same as soft resetting legendary gauntlet battles because of rng to me. Only with much less hassle because there's only one case of rng which is the event spawning in.

[upper lake]

so this bonus event has the same drop rate of the halloween one?

[random portal]

Yea. Bonus event drop rates are the same as the halloween event. Meaning the rates are
5 tomes = 10 codexes
5 small pearls = 10 big pearls
500 sync orbs = 1k sync orbs
50 lodge stones = 100 lodge stones.

I believe you can also get a bronze friend key too but that doesn't change tiers or anything

[upper lake]

*10 tomes and small pearls

[upper lake]

yeah in both cases

[random portal]

Were they 10 tome drop rates? Always felt like 5 but regardless still a nice bonus since codexes

[lost pumice]

These spl lodge events have different rewards in pokeballs?

[glad acorn]

Meaning, still zero candy coin

[random portal]

Yes

You have a 1% chance of getting 100 lodge stones, iirc, 4% for 1k sync orbs and like 8% for pearls

[sudden forum]

One of these days…

[urban zinc]

Same Sages, same...

[rancid lance]

The girls are fightingggg

[dense saddle]

YOOOOOOOO

[rancid lance]

double the points of my best this is why I do all 6 instead of 1 or 3 at a time

For me it’s always more worth it than doing it individually

[sick cedar]

So I only just found out that frames required move level. Pain

[austere viper]

Another leave on 3rd topic max vibes lol

[rain belfry]

They really need to adjust that

[kind wagon]

"- Is is recommended to do Interactions one-at-a-time in order to avoid an unlucky Interaction ending early and losing out on x6 points."

imagine being smart

not me

x6 all the way

(which is why I only gained 3 levels on N yesterday)

[blazing sapphire]

Cowards advice.

Also mathematically identical but eh

[pale cedar]

in the long term it’s identical but it depends on whether you want to reduce variation or save time

[robust warren]

hau and lt surge comparing raichus

[stone frigate]

Best expedition team anyone?

[carmine sedge]

Fucking hell I had bonus event with Hoopa and Polteageist, but my fucking palm just had to press the lodge button

[sick cedar]

OH NO, I bet it was cute tho

[narrow crown]

First time I make it to 0%!
Funny thing that I missclicked once choosing an "interesting" answer

[smoky helm]

do i use my lodge stones only on certificates or it doesn’t and just use it in sync orbs

[verbal prairie]

don't use it on sync orbs

either support lodge pairs (to increase move level) or certificates are the best use of lodge stones

[sick cedar]

You can get sync orbs daily, so I wouldn’t recommend it tbh

[sharp solar]

They're still limited

[carmine sedge]

Has anyone gotten Hoopa and Polteageist bonus event?

Someone tell me the trainers?

[sharp solar]

Early on sync orbs are a good pick since you need to grid so many units

[carmine sedge]

Again not too bad

I'm out of materials to get the great and awesome gifts for Silver

[wide tiger]

1 more day

[shadow copper]

So uh, lodge marnie sucks as a pair?

[pastel swallow]

almost 20 levels

[carmine sedge]

Who dat?

[pastel swallow]

lillie

[carmine sedge]

Hmmmm nice

[analog furnace]

Woah, wait, I dunno why I didn’t consider this. It’s okay prob worth actually grinding the bonus events for this, even if you have a lot of codexes

[sharp solar]

Huh. Right.

[analog furnace]

It’s just 100 lodge stones, but still

[sharp solar]

Let the grind begin!
Not me though.

[analog furnace]

May get a couple hundred extra over a couple days just casually going in and out a bit after reset

I heard you could reset pokeball items somehow, too? Not sure ‘cause I haven’t tried, but if true, then you could theoretically get like 600 a day or something (whatever the event cap per day is)

If anyone who’s discussed it before can confirm whether it’s possible to reset pokeball items, lmk

[sharp solar]

Reset pokeball items? Isn't it the same as resetting bonus events?

[analog furnace]

@random portal By the way, regarding that cap you were talking about yesterday: Did you get a rough number for it? Or did you just happen to be quite unlucky for a while?

[analog furnace]

Thing is, if there really is a cap to how many events you can spawn, getting a bunch of codexes you don't need might just be it for all the items you can get. If it's possible to reset on items/events if you're unsatisfied with the item and not have it count towards that cap, you could keep going until you get an item you're satisfied with. Ending the day with 800 Lodge Stones instead of 80 Codexes (as an example)

But it might also just be too hard to tell. For all I know, if you can reset pokeball items normally, it won't work with the bonus events bc the event spawning at all still counts towards any potential cap. If that makes sense, I apologise if I explained it poorly

[sharp solar]

I get the idea, but where the thought of resetting pokeball's contents came from? Was there someone claiming it is possible?

[analog furnace]

I recall somebody mentioning it, yeah. I could be wrong, but I remember seeing it

Then again, with these rewards, and basically just 2 pokeballs a day... not a big deal

If 1% are the odds for Lodge Stones which are prob still the case for events now that I think about it, then even if it were possible... I don't know if I'd be bothered enough either LOL

[next junco]

didnt know Blue rival is friend i thought it is in "other" category

[next junco]

Do we have drop rate for bonus event?

[blazing sapphire]

Welcome to Pokemon

[next junco]

OMG magic

0% run

[analog furnace]

Supposedly @next junco
It does seem about right from my experience

[next junco]

No i meant item

I see they drop codex instead of tome

So wonder if there any new in the reward table

[analog furnace]

Oh, then p sure it's the same as normal, but with this in mind

[analog furnace]

^

[next junco]

100 lodge stone nice

[analog furnace]

Yeah, just got that earlier from 1 pokeball

[next junco]

[upper lake]

for raihan, why is battle villa better than lodge?
becuase it removes lodge and pasio that give 7 points?

[urban zinc]

Raihan loves PML (+10) while lodge and pasio are only +7

[upper lake]

thanks

[urban zinc]

and iirc partner pokemon is +7 on raihan too ? I don't remember

[upper lake]

yes

[analog furnace]

Same reason as Silver basically, but with PML & Partner Pokemon reversed in terms of points

[urban zinc]

which is the same since they both are "other"

[analog furnace]

I mean yeah, as I said But the points for each are still flipped

[warm plank]

Only the rarest, i think i got 500 sync orbs

[carmine sedge]

Alternate ending when Gladion beats Ash and becomes champion of Alola

That's 3 for me now

[random portal]

It felt like there was a soft cap of 15 events a day but i'm not sure if that cap is automatically fully recharged the next day or it just gives you an extra event a day.

[analog furnace]

was that 15 all at once? 'cause I seemed to hit a limit way earlier

[random portal]

It was throughout the day. So maybe it recharges per hour? i do know i had gotten like 8 in the span of an hour. Then did more later in the night.

[analog furnace]

I'm kinda thinking it likely recharges every hour or few hours, yeah

I got about 6~ or so

My memory's ass though, could very well have been 8 honestly. Just think it was a lil lower

I'll try it now and see if I'm able to find more

[random portal]

I'll have to fully look into it when I have free time.

[austere viper]

2nd event , don't see a ball tho

[random portal]

[sharp bramble]

FINE

Tomorrow it is

Meanwhile Cynthia and the SSynthia trio are the sole members of the 150 club

[random portal]

Ok so i've only been able to get 2 events to spawn today. And i did not try to look for bonus events yesterday. My thought process is that you can only get 1 event a day, but if you did not get an event the previous days, they stack up to idk how many. @analog furnace

This is just from my experience. Idk if this is correct or not, just a hypothesis

[austere viper]

Well since this started I only got 2 events spawn, tho I go to the expedition once a day or so

[random portal]

Exit and reenter the expedition menu and you should have a lot more events spawn for you. @austere viper

[austere viper]

Oh didn't know that, ty

[thick widget]

what team are you using?

[random portal]

Noland, archie, maxie, wally, may, steven @thick widget

[thick widget]

tysm

[late sluice]

level 45 with raihan today

should be about 4(?) more days until lodgehan

[thick widget]

My Lillie is lvl ||69|| today

surprisingly SS Wally works well with most fairy type, excluding fairy zone

[next junco]

Wally is good tho not too strong at 1/5 to overshadow other pair but usable

Gonna ex him but he will stay at 1/5 till the end of time

[thick widget]

i keep him at 1/5 until i finish candying other 7 techs

[next junco]

honestly i have more tech need candy than him too

[thick widget]

dena stop releasing techs that needs candy (impossible)

[next junco]

too much tech

might as well get rid of the role

[sick cedar]

I’m good at this game I think

[verbal prairie]

Yay my first bonus event. Not too exciting. Flint talking with volkner. But when I hit back button and go back in dont get a new bonus event. Am I doing it wrong?

[random portal]

it's RNG.

you have a 10% of a bonus event happening each time you enter and exit the expedition menu, but there may also be a softcap to it too

[verbal prairie]

I thought someone posted you could grind these once you see them

[random portal]

that was me

the 10% is the RNG part. but you can grind them out. but it seems like there is a potential softcap to it.

either that or i have really bad luck

[pale cedar]

surely all of us have better things to do than grind bonus events

[keen summit]

Idk I spend an awful lot of time on trains

[quasi sigil]

10%? That's actually... not so bad

[verbal prairie]

I can't imagine its 10%. I've only hd 1 bonus event and I've entered it at least 5 times per day since it started

[random portal]

that's just bad luck then

[austere viper]

Really nice, after a few resets that is. Left at 16%

Yoga class, maybe would be good for my back too

[next junco]

Mornin' exercise?

[austere viper]

I just need exercise in general 😂

[little walrus]

@verbal prairie I dont buy the 10% personally, takes me 20-30 resets to generate an event when I havent reached cap. Cap isnt known but hundreds of resets wont trigger bonus after a certain point. This is info from literally backing in and out for 1 hour per day

[mild edge]

These are so cool

Rates for these are pretty decent I think…got 3 in 5 minutes.

[verbal prairie]

Thanks for the comment and affirming my luck may not be that atrocious. I know I have bad luck in this game overall (which is why I have to claw for every bit of advantage I can get), so I guess I should just be happy the special events aren't significant game changers

[sick cedar]

Man imagine seeing a bonus event
My luck is actually dog water

[analog furnace]

Found 5 more today, only difference was 12h between what felt like that cap I hit sooo. Not sure if it’s a daily thing
Although 1 was bugged and the other I backed out of

Info makes this hard to figure out from what it seems so far

I’ll also say it didn’t feel like 10% if that helps anyone, but I may have just been unlucky

Bianca keep an eye on your damn Musharna

Husbando N done, now it’s the rabble I don’t particularly feel strongly about remaining. Working on Lillie first.

[worldly ivy]

Am down to the final 3 charas I have and...... definitely losing motivation

[long nymph]

Sycamore ended at 98 , then i only left 4 more pairs...Blue, May, Lillie, N

[urban flicker]

is it just me that I am blind, or there is no pokeball in Team B after reset

and I am sure I didn't pick it up already

[analog furnace]

Just think of all the resources left for you to get And/or newfound appreciation for the remaining charas

[urban zinc]

[worldly ivy]

I might come to appreciate sycamore and rosa more but..... gonna be hard to appreciate May until they fix her nightmare fuel face

[winter galleon]

I kinda wish I left some actual faves for last cuz Sycamore was boring me but when I got to Blue it was alright again

After I finish Blue tho I'd be with May and Rosa

[worldly ivy]

yeah wish I had faves still

[wary wasp]

may is so boring i’m sorry 🛌

[worldly ivy]

I appreciate sycamore a bit cause the sycamore stans in this server have made him grow on me but................. I don't wanna do rosa and may

[winter galleon]

I lost interest in Sycamore for some reason recently

[worldly ivy]

I think may's personality is kinda cute tbh she seems dumb (affectionate) but I just.............. cannot get past how unsettling her face looks and i don't wanna look at that every day

[winter galleon]

Rosa I like a bit but prolly not enough to stick around, and May... Oh May

[worldly ivy]

I wanna do raihan and cynthia but I don't wanna pull on that monthly fair banner cause I don't wanna end up with marnie

[winter galleon]

That banner's gimmick is working cuz I wanna do Raihan just so I don't have to sit through the others

[worldly ivy]

right??????????

this is the real reason dena's only doing 1 a month
