Trainer Lodge

[worldly ivy]

so ur tempted to pull just to avoid other charas

[winter galleon]

It's also like

[worldly ivy]

except it only works for like 2 months

[winter galleon]

Banner rewards with extra steps tbh

[worldly ivy]

because everyone will be done all their pairs regardless in a little bit of time

[winter galleon]

Because if you pull a new lodge pair then you get more resources again

[worldly ivy]

yeye

[wary wasp]

tbh i hope the monthly banner turns into a godly banner since all the poke fairs will be in it 🤪

[winter galleon]

Compared to going above 100

They're gonna split it into two eventually

[worldly ivy]

🤪 does the rate for the non-rate up charas go down with each new addition????? cause if so I might finally break once marnie's rates have dropped low enough

[wary wasp]

most likely

[worldly ivy]

[winter galleon]

You never know though

[wary wasp]

inb4 dena will only have 4 extra pairs in the pool each month

[winter galleon]

I need them to increase the number of new lodge pairs every month

[worldly ivy]

currently a 0.137% chance for her......... maybe if she ever dips below a 0.1% chance, then I'll pull.............................

[worldly ivy]

tbh this would be good for me cause then I could just

wait for a banner that she's not on, period

[wary wasp]

ok dena next month make the featured Lucas please so I have a new unit to lodge with :)

[worldly ivy]

I want bede or lear for lodge........................... I need bratty boys I've been going thru withdrawal ever since I finished silver's lodge

[wary wasp]

true

[worldly ivy]

oh clair would also be great. she's a bratty girl, not a bratty boy, but the bratty part is the only bit that really matters

just give me a brat

xoxo

[winter galleon]

I want more peepaws in lodge but I just know they're gonna add the one billion pretty boys and waifus before the first middle-aged man gets in

[worldly ivy]

add kabu to the game then throw him in lodge he's popular

[wary wasp]

i’m glad that when lodge initially released it wasn’t filled with all the girl trainers 💀

[worldly ivy]

same 💀

[fervent yacht]

Alder has a good shot because

Fair
Pretty old unit who hasn't rerun recently
Good but could get upgraded grid

[worldly ivy]

I like girls but not a lot of pokegirls do it for me so the men are a breathe of fresh air

[winter galleon]

They seem to be balancing the gender ratio which is good

[winter galleon]

PLEASE

[wary wasp]

bro i still think alder has the sickest va in the game 😭

[fervent yacht]

Then again, he's unova so idk if they wanna push a third unova char in already

[winter galleon]

He's not that liked though cuz anime () and also literally being forgotten even in Masters

[wary wasp]

wait what happened in the anime

[fervent yacht]

He's not forgotten, he had pretty nice roles in some events

Unlike other characters

That said he's still easily overshadowed by iris and N

[winter galleon]

I think he was only in N's event giving really bad advice and was kicked out of Victory Road in favor of N

[fervent yacht]

Also older men are hard to make alts of

[winter galleon]

People either hate him because of his simping on Cynthia or reduce him to just that

[wary wasp]

he was in wally’s sync pair story

[winter galleon]

I fucking hate what they did in the anime

[worldly ivy]

u can make alts of older men dena's just uncreative cowards 😔

[fervent yacht]

Yeah they made him adult brock

[winter galleon]

Oh what gotta get any crumb of content i can get

[worldly ivy]

saw someone suggest they might try and get 1 of each gender for each region before adding more charas to lodge

[fervent yacht]

It's hard tho

The only real thing you can give alder, drayden, Pryce or such is like

A tuxedo? Anything else would be either too extravagant or too plain

At least imho

[winter galleon]

take off alder's poncho and put him in like a darmanitan themed fighting outfit or whatever

Kabu can be put in a kimono like Summer N maybe add some tail decorations since he has a Ninetales

[worldly ivy]

tbh I feel like drayden could rock smth flashy. Pryce would be good as a vampire-esque halloween alt like have him dressed all fancy and wrapped up in a cap he would slay. and I like exile's for alder

[winter galleon]

Masters take off Ghetsis and Alder's weird bags challenge

[worldly ivy]

o ye kimono or other traditional jp wear would be great for kabu since a big thing is how he's from hoenn (japan) but living in galar (uk)

[winter galleon]

This is the only game where it can happen

Also I don't think it's just an old man case because some outfits for other characters are also kinda boring or expected

I think they could use a little more thinking out of the box

[worldly ivy]

I feel like (with the rare exception) pokemas alts tend to play it super safe

which is boring imo

there aren't really any alts where it's like "wow I never could have seen this coming"

[winter galleon]

Third anniversary, the infamous fashion downgrade from the previous anni

[worldly ivy]

😌

[winter galleon]

I wish they did more random alts like Siebold (less so because hes actually a pretty boy) and Burgh

[worldly ivy]

yeye

but even then the specific themes they chose for them are like........... obvious

of course the chef is dressed as a chef. of course the artist is wearing a colourful suit

ig it works since its their first alts but

at least for charas that dena keeps milking, I want stuff out of left field

[winter galleon]

I still think all of Lillie's alts are pretty great so at least that's consistent

[worldly ivy]

yeye they're pretty, I just want dena to take some more risks with some alts

[winter galleon]

I do think they should do more special costumes like the Diantha/Guzma/Hilda/Jasmine one tho, ...not the one with the train bros

I do think sc subway bros was such a good concept but they just. Look so plain

[worldly ivy]

yeye that too

no details

knightly women are my absolute favourite concept but SC diantha was so boring just because absolutely no details on her outfit. Looked like a plastic costume from halloween city or smth

[long nymph]

Still waiting for protags wearing villain teams uniform alts

[ripe gorge]

is the event totally random? or do you have to do something to trigger it

[winter galleon]

The bonus events?

[random portal]

Random but can be manipulated by exiting and reentering the expedition menu.

The boi is here.

[long nymph]

I will get him tomorrow, my sycamore stopped at 98

[random portal]

Working on raihan now.

[warm plank]

Hapuu Mudsdy

And 1k sync orbs from it

Perhaps the reward is the least from bonus event

Lillie vs Lusamine?! Family battle

Agatha vs Allister, having expression battle 🤣

“Ggrrhh, Where did Hoppa go?”

Alola e4 gathering, 2 different bonus events

Team rocket admins and captains gathering

[ripe gorge]

Gotcha ill try

[orchid glade]

Another good run today on Blue

ended here

[empty pollen]

The first person POV in Raihan's second chat story made me very uncomfortable

[warm plank]

Wdym? He is homie

[empty pollen]

I dunno it was the way the screen moved as if you were saying no with your head

Not a fan

[analog furnace]

Got dropped right at the end of Max Vibes twice today, but still managed to get 15 levels Had really good runs

[vernal shadow]

How does Raihan know Brendan, Silver and Oak?

[long nymph]

They teamed up together in Pasio

[glad acorn]

Does that mean Lusamine and Clefable as the lodge pair?

[long nymph]

Hope so, i need more fairy units and easy access lodge guest

[blazing sapphire]

Huh I had Aura Cynthia show up as the image in the menu screen even though I have no base Cynthia and so can’t actually invite her to the lodge

[urban flicker]

KEKWait

[glad acorn]

That's intentional.

[long nymph]

We unlocked the photo if we got the unit

[glad acorn]

One way to entice you to pull

[blazing sapphire]

Weird I thought it just showed photos of who you invite

[glad acorn]

Alt version is auto added when they got into your roster

That's why I thought next lodge pair was either Allister or Iris since they have an alt from that leak of halloween

[formal forge]

Which location is best for Raihan?

[wooden marsh]

Battle Villa

[sick cedar]

Climbing slowly, ngl Raihan might be my first 100

[plain nova]

Hit the jackpot lmao

[sharp solar]

30k coins, yooo

You can finally upgrade that piece of gear

[plain nova]

[carmine sedge]

At least Musharna won't draw on your face

[knotty nymph]

Have we ever seen a jigglypuff w/ a marker in this game?

[sharp solar]

Don't think so

[carmine sedge]

Well lookie what I found

[deft quiver]

[pale cedar]

[night tide]

I wonder if she’s gonna win

[verbal prairie]

if they only add one new lodge pair per month that requires obtaining from a banner, then this lodge thing is going to fizzle eventually into a "just do a quick interaction to get the 80 gems" thing

[late sluice]

i really think they should add more

because then it's just gonna be a waiting game for those who already have all lodge pairs

like some people are already working on their 5th

[knotty nymph]

I'm one of those

got lillie, N, cynthia, blue done already

46/100 on silver

they should add one banner unit and one gen pool or f2p per month

almost everyone has olivia or kris

[worldly ivy]

yeah I don't have cynthia, raihan, or marnie, and I've already done silver, blue, N, and lillie. working on sycamore then only have rosa and may left, then it's just gonna be me doing the bare minimum to complete my daily missions then leaving

[night tide]

It took me like a year and a half to get my first kris

[knotty nymph]

I got olivia day 1 of the game

[night tide]

I still only have her 2/5 and also a day one lel

I pulled for kris on her banner and didn’t even get her lel

[knotty nymph]

meanwhile she's spooking me 5 times a banner

gacha is like that sometimes

[analog furnace]

Niice dude

[little walrus]

Had a shot at raihan today but got 6x 21 rip

[quasi sigil]

Does anyone have the list of location-specific topics? Like "Trainer Lodge" and "Pasio" only appear in the trainer lodge, etc

[thick widget]

Mael's pin already covers that

[quasi sigil]

thank you

[dry wolf]

Crying ;-; ended at 93% right after max vibes

Didn’t even have time for a present

[carmine sedge]

Wait, are you actually fucking serious

You can end the convo after max vibes?

This is just the biggest bunch of fucking bullshit I've ever seen in this mode

[quasi sigil]

yes

I've had that happen to me once

the saltiest I've ever been in this game mode

[carmine sedge]

This is even worse than ending the convo at 96% attention

[dry wolf]

This is like the second time it’s ended after max vibes for me

The trainer lodge just hates me

[void lintel]

Max Vibes protects you for two turns: the one you enter it and the one in the middle. While it hasn't happened to me (yet?), it is indeed reported that the protection expires-- and the conversation can end-- on the turn you exit Max Vibes

It sounds kind of oof.

[pale cedar]

I think max vibes rolls attention on the choice that triggers it but it doesn’t end until max vibes ends

happened to me yesterday

[void lintel]

This is effectively identical to if it had waited until exiting max vibes to do the attention roll

[blazing sapphire]

You can see the attention drop right before entering max vibes, no idea when it’s rolled though

[pale cedar]

Yeah it’s basically the same thing

[void lintel]

Ye, the drop happens on entry; I think the roll might wait until the exit. It's how I'd do it... Have Max Vibes skip the dropout roll phase while it is active, and turn it on before on the entry turn's dropout roll happens. Then it expires right before the dropout roll phase of the exit turn

That way it's exactly two turns of attention-freeze, exactly two turns of Friendpoint doubling, and exactly two turns of dropout protection

[swift vine]

Hell yea the 4th pair!

[graceful granite]

Even without feel ring damn.
Idk if this is good luck or bad luck

[dense saddle]

Just....why

[swift vine]

Change to the next character, wow what a welcome conversation

[outer skiff]

How many Level 100's does everyone have

I got 2 or 3,I'll have to check

[pale cedar]

4 :)

[hexed lava]

Final Attention % 7/100 is it good ?
that was the lowest i could get lol

[sharp bramble]

WHAT DID I DO TO YOU LILLIE

[pale cedar]

very good

[carmine sedge]

0% is possible

[hexed lava]

oh wow 0%

[long nymph]

4

[carmine sedge]

This is probably the best luck I've ever seen
#1012298913279127582 message

Ever in this mode

[hexed lava]

i see, thats crazy good

[carmine sedge]

3 because I'm slow at this at first

[outer skiff]

I'm seeing y'all people with 4 and I'm just like damn

Because I know if I didn't take my break I would've been closer to 4 or 5 by now but that's life

[carmine sedge]

Well, we all had our ups and downs with our interactions

[outer skiff]

Also good luck on 5/5 Wally

[carmine sedge]

[outer skiff]

Yea I've been getting rocked

Rosa and Silver left several times on 96% during their level 100 grinds

But I'm hoping May isn't as much of a pain in the ass

May and I are off to an good start

Just hope I can keep it going for an easy level 100

[sharp bramble]

Yeah I’ve done 4, working on my fifth

[urban flicker]

Almost done with my 5th

[atomic pelican]

First time doing Blue

[outer skiff]

So YOURE the one taking my Lodge luck.

[atomic pelican]

Lmao

*Yo’ure

[outer skiff]

I'm over here thinking 'oh yea 8 levels is solid' just to see you got almost level 14 in one go

[atomic pelican]

[outer skiff]

Imma find you and tickle you

And to think you could've went further past if the game gave you more of MY stolen luck

[rigid pilot]

Did a x6 and got dropped t4

Didn't even gift lol

Couldn't max vibes cause 0 related topics lol

[abstract marlin]

Yay

[wide tiger]

https://i.4cdn.org/vp/1665044245310613.jpg

[analog furnace]

so I usually don't reset all that much, but I figured I may as well reset for the ideal topic on my last interaction, just 'cause it feels good to leave things on a higher note

I've been doing it for over an hour and a half.

I've got every topic but Places. multiple times.

if I weren't watching videos & other stuff on the side while reopening my game, I'd have lost my sanity long ago

[analog furnace]

finally. how. did it take. that long.

and there's not even a hot topic 3rd... I'm just gonna say fuck it

or 4th

[orchid glade]

guessing you not using rings

well good luck haha

[analog furnace]

almost 2 hours for this.

[analog furnace]

nah, but the mindblowing part is not finding the right hot topic for almost 2 hours at all

this is the 1 time I said fuck it because I literally spent 2 hours to find a single hot topic

[orchid glade]

that's why I use the ring can't be bothered resetting

[analog furnace]

I mean, that's not the thing that bothered me tho

the ring wouldn't have changed the 2 hours

I can't be bothered resetting a shitton either, but I decided to cap off my final interaction on a good note by resetting for a particular topic the 46 points was just a cherry on top to my wasted 2 hours

[orchid glade]

it almost guarantees hot topic in first three turns

[analog furnace]

I know what it does

I'm talking about resetting for a particular topic

[analog furnace]

it took almost 2 hours to find "Places"

[orchid glade]

what's the point of going for certain ones?

rng still kills you either way

[analog furnace]

I mean, I said why I did, I don't think it was a bad idea for me personally, just feels nice to cap off interactions for the day with a nicer topic start

I could just never have foreseen that it could possibly take 2 hours

[orchid glade]

When doing a few accounts like me it would take me half a day if I did that

[analog furnace]

I neither have multiple accounts or reset for topics I only did it on my last one, I generally don't reset too much. if I had multiple accounts, I honestly don't think I'd ever reset

I'm just sitting here thinking about the odds of what just happened happening bro... I can't

I feel like I should be moving into #salt-channel oh well, at least I can say I experienced something that'll probably never happen again

I probably should've just reset again after I couldn't get 3rd topic max vibes, but I thought about how it would've put the 2 hours to waste. take that as a lesson

[random portal]

Anyone got raihan's likes?

Thankfully got him from level 9 to level 25 today.

5 more then i can stop tossing him out of the lodge so i can get the good dailies

[carmine pilot]

I finished him today

So i don't have to deal with this bug anymore

[random portal]

Lmao on raihan's face

[carmine pilot]

It heppend several times, he looks down then slowly turns up
Creepy

[random portal]

Dude's like:
Wtf is this go? A filter?

[chrome inlet]

is the chance that the character leaves after every topic the %attention they have?

bc at this point with how often raihan is leaving at 86% i feel like tracking it to see what the odds are this would happen for a consecutive 6 days 💀

[random portal]

Yes

Each topic is a %drop of how likely they will stay

But you can still have them leave at 96%.

That's basically hitting the 4% chance of them leaving

[sturdy monolith]

Probably my best run

[carmine pilot]

Well today I tested some stuff since i got 10 interactions stacked and I was hunting for a good run
Over 27 interaction attempts ended in this way

• 6 ≥ 90% (2 at 95)
• 13 btween 71 - 90
• 4 between 51 - 70
• 3 between 40 - 50
• 1 at 7%

[rigid pilot]

Oh man juice is good?

I didn't buy it Lol

[carmine pilot]

Glasses juice and shovel are basically needed to have a good convo

Just ignore the ring

[little walrus]

Whew

Tried 2 singles got shafted then went for a 4x

[little walrus]

I have had much better luck outside of first 2 questions picking only hot topic regardless of point value

[sudden forum]

Raihan's part 2 stories implies Scottie/Bettie might be getting a Sygna Suit or EX.

[sick cedar]

RNG just goes WACK

[glad acorn]

My eyes must be playing tricks on me. Sometimes I noticed the attention drop on the first interaction after gift reduces less

[orchid glade]

you didn't just choose a hot topic after gift?

[glad acorn]

No. I have this occurred at least 2 times now

Unfortunately I'm too busy trying to record it that I reset into an early drop

[zealous osprey]

5/10

Now only the strikers are left

[carmine sedge]

Damn you finished 5 already?

[zealous osprey]

That's right. You can tell from the golden frames. Just finished May today.

[carmine sedge]

You said it yourself technically but sure

[zealous osprey]

Yeah I mean I posted the second pic as a proof

[sonic stream]

@glad pasture getting 33 isn't even possible unless you chose not to reset when you did not get the proper type topic

[glad pasture]

Lol wow you went back

Pretty far

It's true I clicked the third topic before I got hot topic

I was like meh what are the chances / maybe just forgot

[sharp bramble]

I always gamble on the third after not getting hot topic instead of resetting

I almost always regret it

AND I’LL NEVER LEARN

[pale cedar]

where’s the fun of trainer lodge without a little risk

[viscid meteor]

oh yeah...

I have all possible bonus events compositions

just not as images tho

there are 50

[worldly ivy]

2nd time hitting 0%

[urban zinc]

[night tide]

Hitting 0% for 3 levels dies

[little walrus]

May silver rosa or prof next?

[hard badger]

Silver then Rosa strikers don't matter

[granite sand]

How do diff locations affect the topics?

[blazing sapphire]

They affect the location choices available

[void lintel]

Each location has a couple of topics that don't appear elsewhere

e.g. the Trainer Lodge has Pasio and Trainer Lodge as topics, both in the Places category. Eight of the ten guests love both of these topics, so it's actually a really good idea to just stay in the Lodge for them.

The other two are Silver and Raihan, who only get 7pts with these topics

[severe river]

Guess i’ll only do it in the lodge then :(

[swift vine]

Chatting at lodge doesnt have walking cutscene so it’s win-win

[void lintel]

(Silver and Raihan work better in the Battle Villa)

[severe river]

But other places are prettier

[keen summit]

I know it’s all rng, but it is really alarming that every single May interaction has ended at 85% or higher

Wtf is happening

[glad acorn]

So anyone witnessing any decrease in attention drop after gifting or I've been drunk?

[outer skiff]

Is there character charts with their hot topics

Like how Rosa,Silver and Sycamore had one

[pale cedar]

you can use the /lodge command

or go on pomatools

[worldly ivy]

Silver is the only one where lodge isn't the meta location which means he's the only one u can justify taking to all the pretty places which means silver is the superior choice 😌💅🏾

[pale cedar]

actually raihan also prefers to not be in lodge :)

[worldly ivy]

O yeah raihan exists

[dense saddle]

Finally

Our First date was a blast!

[glad acorn]

Been a while since I got these lucks

[carmine sedge]

I got a pretty average interaction with Silver today

[glad pasture]

Ty for this

[glad pasture]

...nice level

[frigid fiber]

One more day

[limber sluice]

What is this

[blazing sapphire]

free item

[limber sluice]

Which

[blazing sapphire]

both will have an item

[nocturne aurora]

omfg

i got 13% attention on Raihan 200+ points
only to notice i forgot to buy the 3x interactions and i played it at 3x instead of 6x

😭

wasted

[thick widget]

[sharp bramble]

Cute picture. Love the Clefairy’s face.

[carmine sedge]

That's 4 now

[faint plank]

bruh

[random portal]

I see what people meant by feeling uncomfortable by raihan's 2nd convo...

[void lintel]

"Look at our photo!" (Phone screen is blank)

The convo itself dances on the line between "friend/mentor" and "possibly romantic???" and I think it does that on purpose...

A lot of Special Day With X, Part 2 are like that

[random portal]

i'm lowkey tempted on editing that image to have him pull solagleo.

Whoops.

[glad pasture]

Dat blur

you can have a star 🫴

[random portal]

it's a fever dream

[atomic pelican]

L,ai

Wtf did I write-

*Lmao

[glad acorn]

New solgaleo pair? It better be paired with Lillie

[austere viper]

Oof, right after max vibes

[grizzled pagoda]

Can anyone tell me what ur supposed to do with bonus events?

[void lintel]

Look for a pokéball on the ground

Loot it

It contains better loot than the daily ones

That is all

Codex instead of Tome
Big Pearl instead of regular Pearl
100 Lodge stones instead of 50

[mighty zealot]

Is this mostly about expeditions?

@chilly lichen

[chilly lichen]

Oh perfect the Serebii guide is great thanks

[orchid glade]

The list is this for events

[plain nova]

i'm too lazy to update the image for drops, probably do it in a few days

[glad pasture]

🥱 ez skip for anyone with max sync orbs

Thanks @orchid glade

[orchid glade]

no problem 👍

[orchid glade]

ye nothing amazing should of had power ups

[void lintel]

Lodge stones, friend keys, and codices of certain types are still nice

Like, we just got so many Electric types back to back

[severe river]

I wish there was a Super Exciting topic version of Feel Ring

[mighty zealot]

I wish that after you get during Max Vibes the topic that is the Max Vibe topic you get an extra 3rd interaction with during max vibes

I mean lets say the Max Vibe topic is Items. And during Max Vibes you choose Items twice. Then you get a 3rd interaction during max vibes

[void lintel]

I'd love this unless it doubled and tripled up on them every turn

[void lintel]

Wanting to get more out of Hot Topics during Max Vibes? I think I can appreciate it

Since they... don't really do anything

It'd be nice and make a kind of sense, probably

[night tide]

Who were like the bonus lodge pairs of the month?

[blazing sapphire]

Fall units but don’t think it’s active yet

[void lintel]

And also I think they only have the bonus in Expedition Team C, which... isn't open yet

[vestal kraken]

Wait we get a third expedition team?

[void lintel]

Temporarily for the event yeah

It's kinda like the extra incubator

+1/+1/+1/+0 bonuses

[hard badger]

Triple chest is best

So of course they don't give us +1 chest

[void lintel]

Halloween-seasonal sync pairs get +1 Rare Cache in there

[vestal kraken]

I only have 1 Halloween pair 😭

[void lintel]

It's possible to get 10rare/10cache with a Galar-and-Halloween team

[hard badger]

I think 0 0 0 2 would have been more fitting for Halloween

[void lintel]

Galarween

Ah, here it is.

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)

Three seasonals though...

I hate pulling on seasonal banners

Think I'll just cram my old Hoenn Team A into it

[wary wasp]

i should be able to get may tomorrow

this mode is so silly i feel like you shouldn’t be able to do 5 sync pairs in the span of a month 💀

[night tide]

Can we pin this

[upper egret]

Are there expedition comps? For just +9 red +9 rare or other such combinations?

I've been meaning to write some down

I think i found it in the pins

Ah, maybe not

Or at least not the teams I was looking for, oh well

[severe river]

So there’s summer marnie and gloria but not summer gloria? I will not take this Inteleon slander

[random portal]

the fact that this is at 13 stars...

[vestal kraken]

With team c coming would more chests be better than anything else?

[analog furnace]

Hit my new record of least levels in a day, I think: ~7

Gold gifts and all

[eternal mural]

I'm getting kinda worried

I'm slowly using up all of my lodge people so i wont get rewards for much longer

And with the fact only 1 new unit per month which could not even be a non limited pair is kinda scary

[void lintel]

Use Friend Keys to raise the level cap and keep getting Lodge Stones
Then you can trade the Stones in for Certificates of Excellence

[dense saddle]

Bish dropped me literally after max vibes
Fk u Sycamore

Oh and this happened

[wide tiger]

This is gud

[dense saddle]

Another!

Man ._.

[long nymph]

Legendaries

[blazing sapphire]

N getting all the legendaries

[formal hornet]

So close

[long nymph]

Time for him to add shiny black/white kyurem with unova flag bearer duplicate

[carmine sedge]

Damn, I got a good hot topic for Silver but my choices are shit

Resetting is so annoying

Tomorrow possibly

Finally got a good drop

[quasi sigil]

jeez alright N, no need to flex

[nocturne aurora]

DUDE

[sharp solar]

Hm, the game's clearly wrong.
That's not Great, that's AWESOME!

[carmine pilot]

My frst 10x was lucky

[blazing sapphire]

Powerful 10x

[astral trench]

What is Multiple interactions multiplier

[astral trench]

Lel

[sharp solar]

Using X interactions at once

You get one interaction multiplied by X instead

[lucid gulch]

I guess you only get 10 tomes, so not that a big of a deal

Yes i would consider purchasing support dupes

[hot quarry]

Jesus Christ

[lucid gulch]

What's the point of getting 10 interactions? You don't just burn at least 6 interactions to do so?

It's just for the memes or there's a practical reason to do so?

[sharp solar]

I think there was found a way to do so without burning interactions

It doesn't have any benefits over average rolls anyway

[carmine pilot]

To better plan resets
Sometimes to get the best setup it could take time
So 1 day i go with 1 interaction, stacking the others
The next day i'll do all interactions, softresetting with the best start possible

I mean if i have to waste time softresetting why not maxing interactions in that day

[lucid gulch]

But with silver gifts and not so optimal start, i still get on average 10 levels in a day

[carmine pilot]

Average of 10lvl x day is fine

[lucid gulch]

You got 33 in 3 days, but with gold present and a very lucky run

Ok i guess there are 2 spare interactions for the 3rd day

[carmine pilot]

The hardest part was stacking 10 gold gifts
We don't have great team expeditions for double 10 blue 10 chests
So i have to run with 8 9 and 9 10

[lucid gulch]

I'll just go 6 interactions with silver gifts

I don't think is worth getting the gold ones

[carmine pilot]

Yep, i'll stack those 2 now
Tomorrow i will do one again, saving 7 for the next reset
And the day after i'll have 10 insteractions, plus 3

[lucid gulch]

Then resetting for optimal start can help to some extent, but if you can have only 5 guaranteed interactions, no matter how much you rested

[carmine pilot]

If you aim to use them between 70-80 you easily get shafted
Better use them earlier
Maybe when you have no good topics

[lucid gulch]

Yes, i mean that you can get shafted even at 96%

And it happens

[carmine pilot]

Yep, the early the better

Plus silver gifts are easy to farm
You can use them at high % anyways

[lucid gulch]

At most you can get 5 guaranteed interactions if you use boost juice

[lucid gulch]

I use them even at 100% if i don't get an hot topic at the 3rd interaction

[carmine pilot]

Yep, for the max serup interactions i go with glasses shovel and juice
For the single one i use all the items bcs i just want to close it early asap

[carmine pilot]

Well 100% isn't optimal
If you don't get a good startup just softreset

[lucid gulch]

Yes but you are guaranteed to use the gift only if you use it at 100%

[carmine pilot]

Yeah but if the convo ends at 96% you will get 10 points from it

So it's like doing one more topic

[lucid gulch]

But X6 it adds up

I guess you can still get an extra level if you get shafted at 96% at 6x

[sharp solar]

Hey, is Awesome Berry Set a Silver gift or a Gold gift?

[lucid gulch]

However between wasting the gift at 100% to softreset less, or wasting free interactions to stack 10 i prefer wasting gifts

[carmine pilot]

Safe is always good
As i said 10 lvl/day as average is fine
Considering dena adds 1 unit each month, you can max them all soon

I prefer gambling

And tomorrow I hope to close my 6th, Rosa

[sharp solar]

This was a trick question because it's a Silver Gold gift but nobody answered it to trigger the joke

[carmine pilot]

[lucid gulch]

Considering I'm missing Marnie, and that i'm also missing some base trainers pokefairs

it just happens from time to time

and make sure to only advertise the good one so people think 6x is better for no reason!

[severe maple]

if I start an interaction but forgot to use the items can I reset the game and get that interaction back

[sharp solar]

You can.

[severe maple]

nice thanks

[tepid stone]

what's the best location for silver, again?

[void lintel]

Lear's villa

...I wonder if, when Lear is inevitably added to the Lodge, his own villa might not be the best place for him

(btw, Raihan's best place is also Lear's villa)

[runic plaza]

Cynthia took 9 days to get (September 30th to October 8th). She has a lot of good topics and I got good RNG with her.

By the way, what location is best for Rosa? I start progress with her tomorrow.

[maiden haven]

lodge

[deft quiver]

What's the best location for sycamore?

[pale cedar]

lodge is best for everyone besides silver and raihan, who want the battle villa

[deft quiver]

Oh thanks

[wary wasp]

finally

also somehow only got 10 and 6 gifts with incense… what 💀

[orchid glade]

here's a list of Events for Expeditions

[analog furnace]

Went from my worst Lodge day to getting 4.5 levels in 4 interactions Please don't somehow get even worse

My Lodge luck has been ass the past few weeks, I'm lucky to get a gift off and/or not get dropped immediately afterwards

Well, I got a 218x1.5 & 166x1.3, so that at least made up for it somewhat

[flat lantern]

someone got teams for full red and chest? oin both

[blazing sapphire]

There’s a few but depends on your chest units.

Try Alola units

[flat lantern]

i just want a couple of screenshots of teams

Would appreciate it 🙌🏻🙌🏻

And there goes my lodge luck

Guess this is what I get for forgetting to play yesterday

[carmine sedge]

Damn son

I barely made the cut

[dense saddle]

Today was a lodge stone day

[eternal mural]

I officaly hate lillie

She won't even let me give present

Could i reach level 75 tmmrw

[warm cape]

Anyone had pair stop at 50 points?

[dense saddle]

I have seen the worst of this game

[runic plaza]

What the hell I just got done with my 4th

[quasi sigil]

5th already? i'm still on my 4th

[carmine sedge]

Me too, just recently done with Silver, who's my 4th

[sharp solar]

The worst would be 18 points

[lucid gulch]

Today tried to play risky, and got shafted

[pearl hull]

it feels weird to not see the number not being leveled up

[knotty nymph]

I have a level 99 silver as my fifth

been averaging a bit over 10 levels per day

will have rosa, syca, may done by next LG

Taking it easy now that I no longer need to speedrun them to get them in time

[late sluice]

yippee

[random portal]

Raihan the mvp.

[keen summit]

First ever 0%!

[vast aspen]

Apparently in TL they can give you candy coins when they have something to give you

I just got 1 tech candy coin from blue

[sharp solar]

Full gift list is pinned.

[urban flicker]

Yeah, starting from Lv30 and onward

they have a 0,5% chance to give you a candy coin

[vast aspen]

Never knew but was a nice gift

[carmine sedge]

The only candy coin I received was from Lillie

[glad acorn]

2% in total. Never got a single one tho

[urban flicker]

I only got once a striker candy coin from blue and that's it

ever since it's just extract or stone

[eternal mural]

Wow it's happening to all of us, happened to me a few days back

[analog furnace]

Oh nah. Ohh nahhhh. Ohh nahhhh this again?

[carmine sedge]

Kinda hope they don't

It's kinda funnt

1 party has fun and the other is now the void.

[orchid glade]

still you miss getting the pokeball

I would rather have the items

[eternal mural]

I am still able to collect the poke ball in the void

[carmine sedge]

Also, did you get him?

[carmine sedge]

Got the same one from before

[wary wasp]

first time in a while this has happened to me

i got too lazy and didn’t try reseting for the guaranteed mv

[analog furnace]

Ye

Very similar happened to me today lmao

Stopped just before lv 100

best lodge interaction i ever did 😮

[void lintel]

[hardy flare]

Does someone knows what it is?

[thick widget]

a bonus event

[blazing sapphire]

Free item

[night tide]

How do I get these

[dense saddle]

47% Attention when we left ❤️ ✨
Pretty good if you ask me

[dense saddle]

Grind them in expeditions

[hardy flare]

Oh okay, thanks! And if I uninvite someone (eg. Silver at lvl 100), will he keep his level 100 if I'm inviting him back?

[dense saddle]

Mhm
It stores the data^^

[severe river]

Put units with a red boost in expeditions

[carmine sedge]

Goddamnit Sycamore, I was about to gift you and fucking dropped me like a fly

[hollow kiln]

I finally got my first lodge unit

2nd day in a row raihan. Based man. Also this!

My other expedition had 30 lodge stones too

[mortal turtle]

I think this was my best one, got lv 100 and reached 0%

[glad acorn]

Meanwhile all I got is extracts

Literally my daily pull luck so no surprise

[sharp bramble]

All my gifts are extract crap

[knotty nymph]

I've gotten extracts in juice 4 days in a row lol

[void lintel]

Omni extracts are kinda nice, at least. Those're expensive.

Rare extracts can be useful, too

It's the regular three extracts that're "ew"

[glad acorn]

Right, another week until 3rd expedition slot. Better come up with another team by then

[sharp bramble]

Man

What am I gonna put for my 3rd

[void lintel]

I think I've decided mine.
Renegade Cynthia, Masked Royal, Halloween Acerola (the only seasonal I have at all),
May, Noland, and any Hoenn with at least +1 yellow
With Omni Extract and Acerola's matching-season bonus, that should be 1/10/1/10
During Cheer, swap MRoyal with Archie or Maxie or Wally, and the "at least +1 yellow" with Steven. Should become 4/10/2/10

[sharp bramble]

Ooh

Heh, got an average interaction with Sycamore today

[sharp bramble]

I AM SO KICKING YOU OUT OF THE LODGE ONCE YOU’RE 100

[glad acorn]

I have long stopped getting salty over this. Just posting for some laughs instead because hell, what is this rng?

Silver playing hard to get

[dense saddle]

What are the chances bruh

Right when I brought boost juice along as well

[blazing sapphire]

N left first time he went below 100%. Worse than Silver.

[dense saddle]

11 levels
Not good since I had ×6 but not bad either ig

[spring cobalt]

Which location image is the battle villa? (Can't believe there aren't labels...)

[dense saddle]

I can't believe there isn't a cafe location for interaction with Sycamore

And a ferris wheel location for interaction with N

False advertisement

[sharp solar]

Tbh there's no ferris wheel on Pasio aside from that... moving (?) one from his story.

[wary wasp]

richu is right ya know...

Eh

Not really shipping them but still

[dense saddle]

Wow this bonus event was not only invisible but also froze my game entirely

[night tide]

I’ve not gotten a single bonus event

[dense saddle]

I have gotten only 3 myself lol

[carmine sedge]

That makes 5 for me now

[dense saddle]

Not counting this bugged one

[carmine sedge]

What was the event?

[dense saddle]

I couldn't see it

I went to collect the poke ball gift which was invisible but the claim item tag appear on it

But just as I claimed, the screen got frozen there

Eventually had to close the app

[carmine sedge]

[night tide]

After blue who should my next lodge pair he if I already did silver

I’m thinking may because the rewards she gives are good

[carmine sedge]

I think Lillie for a good budget fairy DD

And she can debuff every enemies' attack stat

[night tide]

I have PSerena and PDawn I’m kinda good on fairy nuking lel

What does fiery extract do?

[carmine sedge]

+2 fiery boost

[night tide]

Idk what that is lel

[carmine sedge]

+2 red materials boost

On expeditions

[night tide]

Oh

[dense saddle]

Those stuff let you buy gifts and items which will help you better interact with characters

Plus use them to add in all the slots if you haven't already

[austere viper]

Nice one, too bad 3 points away from 77 lol

[verbal prairie]

if you were at 86%, is it best to give a gift, choose a hot topic worth 5 pts, or a non-hot topic worth 10 pts?

or maybe this is better asked, what would you do?

[blazing sapphire]

I would hot topic worth 5 points then gift.

Can't say it's mathematically optimal though

Lmao N left at 87%

Second day in a row he leaves before items

Rubbing it in. harsh

[verbal prairie]

yeah, that happened to me for like a week straight

sorry bro didn'tmean to 😦

[blazing sapphire]

Can't wait to make N leave my lodge foreverrrr

185 though, nice

haha it's fine it's not serious

[verbal prairie]

this lodge stuff already sorta feels stale at best, very frustrating at worst

it's just a thing to do to get my 80 daily gems after I get their lodge pairs, esp since I don't have any of the limited banner exclusive trainers

[blazing sapphire]

Yep, I only got N from the limiteds.

Soon it'll be all May every day

Unless Rosa surprises me

[verbal prairie]

Rosa was never very good to me

[blazing sapphire]

[keen wolf]

Yeah after May I don't have anything to do anymore. It really feels like a chore after a while

[lucid gulch]

Needed 16 levels to unlock n before the end of legendary arena

Playing risky definitely didn't paid

Didn't pick the boost juice to try delaying max vibes for extra points

Ofc got ditched by the 1st attention drop from a failed hot topic

I think i got to worst possible luck

I think it left at 96 attention

Normally i play the safest possible, but i needed him today, not tomorrow

I guess i won't get him even tomorrow

[astral trench]

30 SCOUT TICKETS

[carmine sedge]

Blue in his OG outfit but has Blastoise

[lucid gulch]

Got 10 scout tickets today, so I'm fine with the shaft on the interaction

[lucid gulch]

I think there was also SS red with snorlax

[void lintel]

I guess they still have the mon in a ball with them even when they're not dressed to battle with that mon

[random portal]

Useless pair obtained.

Idk could probably use him with accerola or somethin

[void lintel]

Could also be useful if you just want to override an enemy's entry weather with Sand

Unless the enemy's entry weather is Sand, in which case oops

[urban zinc]

Good enough unit for Moltres

also probably can solo Latios

[fervent yacht]

He's pretty good with ace for any LA tbh

Also good to pair with 1/5 ingo there too

In general his regen + 1 gauge spam and team buffs are pretty great

For a 4*

[carmine sedge]

You can only get bonus events once a day right?

[urban zinc]

nop

you can reset to farm them lol

enter expedition leave enter leave enter leave etc

[carmine sedge]

Wow, you're right

That marks 7 for me now

[thick widget]

One of them is sus

[spiral cosmos]

Imagine seeing a bonus event

I have seen 0 lol

Highest total friendship points ever

[little walrus]

For players saying “no bonus event” - go in and out of expedition check both teams each time. I would say 20 resets on average 40 tries basically with 2 teams

[analog furnace]

Pretty good day today honestly
I needed that

[little walrus]

[analog furnace]

3 iirc

don't want to know lol

5

[plain nova]

I almost said 4 lol

[orchid glade]

that's what I had in Pokemon Shuffle

if it was still old masters day having more than one account would be annoying

luckily no grinding anymore

[urban zinc]

Why do you have 5 accounts lmao

[orchid glade]

So I can show newbies they can do stages

[sharp solar]

wdym lvl 140 EXd teams don't do a good job of f2p guides

haha I don't record the runs 🤣

[sharp solar]

Hm?

[orchid glade]

screenshots is enough for me on my rerolls

[sharp solar]

Ah, right.

[orchid glade]

would take too much time so I keep it simple

[carmine sedge]

That makes 8 now

[spring cobalt]

Asking again bc I can't find it anywhere, how do you see the names of the locations (e.g. for raihan and silver topics)

Like which one is the battle villa?

[sick cedar]

Soon

[vestal kraken]

I don't think you can see the names you just have to use the little photos.

[spring cobalt]

Do you know positionally which one is the bv?

[vestal kraken]

Sorry I had to load the game, it should be three to the left from "random"

[spring cobalt]

Thanks!!

[pale cedar]

They aren’t officially named, but the list has them in order from left to right so you can check that way

[wary wasp]

omg

12 hours btw

[vestal kraken]

Do we know when we get the third team?

[upper lake]

17th

[void lintel]

If you forget, you can visit the datamine channel and look up when the first halloween event begins

The third team is a temporary one for the seasonal event, kinda like the temporary incubators for egg events

[upper lake]

it's not written there

the info comes from absolutely

[void lintel]

Yes it is

It's a halloween expedition team and that's the halloween event

[acoustic vector]

I have a question regarding the trainer items. Is the best strat to simply use them before interacting? Because I've been buying the silver ones and waiting until their % hits 80 before using them which means they sometimes leave before I get a chance

I tried this with the gold ones but waiting for 70% was riskier and I missed it more often

[void lintel]

Look at it from the other angle. Let's say the RNG decided that the guest leaves at the soonest possible turn (Turn 3)
Would you have wanted to use a present on that run?

[acoustic vector]

I guess not. I'm just concerned that I'm doing something wrong after seeing other players say they're already working on their 4th or 5th lodge pair and I'm only just finishing my 2nd

[fallow halo]

Just use the gift at 70% or less

[random portal]

*6th pair for me

[severe river]

I try to wait until 80%

[void lintel]

Hm... Have you been buying the three bonus Interactions every day? Have you been using Help Items?

(Specs, Juice, and Shovel microphone)

(The Ring is kind of a ripoff if you're already using the Juice)

[pearl hull]

feel ring is either all 3 options are max vibes on the first topic (which you dont want) or a decent max vibe option never appearing until the convo ends

[glad acorn]

It's been 500 years...

[blazing sapphire]

N LEFT AT 91% THIRD DAY IN A ROW

Out here giving me 3 hot topics to start with

[glad acorn]

That's Silver for me

[barren lance]

Damn, that's an impressive bonus event

[jovial moon]

which of the following shld i get next
Silver, Sycamore, Rosa

[sharp solar]

Flip a coin.
Heads - Rosa, tails - Sycamore, stays in the air - Silver.

[jovial moon]

so silver will never be a choice?

is he tha bad?

[sharp solar]

Someone had to be a third option, it's not his fault

[jovial moon]

i mean the other 2 might have been the 3rd option

[blazing sapphire]

It is definitely his fault

[upper lake]

Isn't that the story event?

[jovial moon]

he seems like a decent support for Karen XD

what happens to the expedition material once you reach 99.999

I am almost at 99.999 with the Red bronze material

[muted juniper]

My 2nd lodge pair!

Got day before yesterday

[void lintel]

What are you talking about? You can see in that image that Iris' Seasonal Scout starts on the same day, because she's tied to that same seasonal event

[muted juniper]

It was first ever interaction with Raihan.. I didn't know which choices were 'super exciting', I didn't use any item..

This is my best interaction ever happened in this game, it was freakin' awesome!!!

Also, for the first time reached 0% attention

[jovial moon]

Congrats 👏

[upper lake]

overworldy encounter is the story event
nothing on that screen says that there will be another team

[void lintel]

Story events can be seasonal events.
I said to check the start date of the seasonal event because the third team is tied to it

[void lintel]

It's why Halloween sync pairs get bonuses in that team

[upper lake]

i know that they are tied
but we know this because of absolutely
not because it's written

[void lintel]

Does... Does that matter? I said this is how you can recheck if you forget

I did not credit the datamine channel for finding the third expedition team
I said you can check the schedule in the datamine channel for the date its associated event begins
I don't know what the conflict is?

[random portal]

So here's some information that you probably already know.

In Master's Canon: Norman is only Brendan's Father. Professor Birch is May's Father.

[void lintel]

Sounds accurate. What's up?

I see Birch but not Norman on her Lodge topic list, so it is consistent

[random portal]

I saw petalburg city, and believed she would love that topic in reference to the games, but apparently not?

Since it's possible that norman could be her father

Depending on player choice

[sharp solar]

I mean, one topic rate does not equal to her not being able to be X's daughter.

[random portal]

It's also explained in her first story that her father helps her with research.

Just find it interesting, not mad at it or anything

[void lintel]

It's mentioned repeatedly in Masters that Brendan is Norman's kid and May is Birch's, yeah

There was a main story chapter about it, it pops up in Father or Foe, it was spotlighted in the Lusamine/Lillie/Gladion debut event (where they are closer friends with Wally than to May), and it was even one of the main plot points in the Spring May/Burgh event

[worldly ivy]

wooooo only may & rosa are left (cause imagine having cynthia, raihan, or marnie)

[eternal mural]

Same

We need more spotlight/free lodge pairs

Limited are annoying

Maybe next month 🤔

Having Cynthia paid off for me in Gauntlet. Skyla+LodgeCynthia+Solgaleo took Azelf down easily.

Both defenses, speed, and crit

[eternal mural]

New lodge pairs being limited actually makes pf's more tempting

[void lintel]

That's probably part of the point, yeah

[eternal mural]

Cuz once you run out of people to get rewards from,it really starts to get tempting cuz the rewards are soo broken

[void lintel]

Candy coins and heckin'

[rigid pilot]

The consensus is to not pull on those banners tho

[eternal mural]

I got tempted by raihan of all people tho i dont like him just cause he would keep my monthly rewards way up for 2 more weeks

[rigid pilot]

Iirc

[rigid pilot]

That doesn't seem worth it ngl

[void lintel]

They said pf (Poké Fair) but didn't necessarily say the monthly Fair...

[eternal mural]

The x20 powerups,2 new units,one lv150,candy coins and 1 guaranteed 5* makes it very tempting

[void lintel]

Like, I was waiting for some kind of combined Galar Fair, to pull for Marnie (and Gloria and Bede at the same time)
But then we got a Galar-heavy month without one, so... oof

[eternal mural]

It's like Poma has a premium subscription now

A ton of extra rewards per month

But you gotta pull the spotlight pf every month for it

[rigid pilot]

Spotlight pf??

Wait now I'm just lost

[sharp solar]

Spotlight not as in "general pool"

General meaning

[rigid pilot]

Oh as in rate up?

[sharp solar]

"The one introduced to Lodge this month"

[rigid pilot]

Ya ngl I shall wait for a PF that I like then just pull on that banner

Best expedition teams for soothing crystal and rare cache?

[void lintel]

I'm not sure how much I'd recommend focusing on Soothing when there're only two of the ten Lodge guests who use it... but SSLeaf, May, and Lucas are strong choices for leading such a team

Serena might be able to lead one, too

(To clarify: build a team around only one of them)

[pale cedar]

Usually I do a general build that’s 7 to 9 of each of them to stock up and then I do a cache/whatever color I’m currently using build

[formal forge]

Is a 10/10 Wistful / rare team not possible for team A? The spreadsheet doesn’t list any :/

[next sorrel]

Have we found any solid 0/0/10/10 team comps yet?

[runic plaza]

Don't know what "solid" means (F2P???) but this is the best we have.

[next sorrel]

More so just working teams

[runic plaza]

Alright then. Use the above teams if you can make em. Other teams can be found in the doc https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pCUEakjQ75T5hQ66eq6EO7eoCS04rt7rUoECZZI_ebk/edit#gid=1047802390

[void lintel]

IIRC only one 0/0/10/10 team exists without Cheer and it does indeed require Team B. There aren't any Supports with +3 Rare.

How to activate multiple interaction multiplier?

[jovial moon]

its a checkbox under the items when u select interact

[sharp solar]

You use X interactions at once but get *X points from that interaction

[urban zinc]

Requires both SS Gio and SS Kris tho so it's super hard to do

[maiden haven]

👀

[lean river]

How is this even possible???

[void lintel]

The magic of lucksacc

[jovial moon]

So today it's between Rosa Silver and Sycamore. Who shld I get affection for now

[keen wolf]

Silver

[jovial moon]

[jovial moon]

What are ur thoughts behind recommending him btw? Themed support for Karen?

[keen wolf]

Iirc he has one of the better kits lemme check again

40% flinch, 40% freeze, 100% def down. Yeah his kit is one of the best out of TL unit

[heavy quail]

I finish silver next reset I have already done marnie,cynthia, and lillie who should I work on next? I only don't have N

[thick widget]

Blue kit wise

Otherwise just pick your fav

[heavy quail]

I already did my favs, I'll do blue, thanks

[dense saddle]

Just oof

[blazing sapphire]

N HAS NOW LEFT BEFORE ITEMS FOUR DAYS IN A ROW

Also one of my expeditions has no daily item?

[sharp solar]

N took it too

[austere viper]

3rd, took most tries from 94 to 100 kept getting away...

[outer skiff]

Almost 15 levels,was just one point off

[carmine sedge]

Wow, Sycamore dropped me at 88% attention at the 9th topic

[jovial moon]

Thanks for sharing

[carmine sedge]

Hello 9th bonus event

[winter galleon]

wut

[sharp solar]

Hey, we found your item

[urban flicker]

It happened to me as well sometimes to find no daily item at the expedition

no idea why

[little walrus]

I have an idea… I have only noticed the crash/ double bug if I get a bonus on my first entry for the day when it loads the guaranteed first ball. Try to get your bonus events done pre reset so one doesn’t spawn on the regular ball reset

[blazing sapphire]

Just found two more items. Buggy.

[dense saddle]

You gotta use rock smash to get the second though

[glad acorn]

Next month is probably a spotlight (just so the f2p won't feel left out). And since we have Raihan this month, maybe a female trainer. Kanto, Johto and Kalos

[maiden haven]

Unova?

[glad acorn]

Rosa and N are invited. I think it's better if they fill up region with less trainers first

[maiden haven]

Yeah, but it's UnoVA

(Skyla would be nice)

[urban zinc]

Serena ?

[worldly ivy]

valerie

[grizzled pagoda]

Hello

When in max vibes is 7 point hot topic better than regular 10 point?

[orchid glade]

no you want 10 pointers

[sudden forum]

how many days has Lodge been out?

it came out during anni, right?

[upper lake]

4 days before anni

[sudden forum]

okay so like 7 weeks

So about 9~10 days to get a new pair to 100 Friendship.
(Got 5 done, and 22/100 on my 6th)

Maybe the rest will go faster since I have 33k Ultra Soothing/Wistful Crystals stockpiled... since I basically went for all the OG Strikers first (Blue,Cynthia,Silver,N,Raihan).

[orchid glade]

I am about halfway through my 6th pair

so will be eventually running out of pairs

[sudden forum]

Yeah coulda been more efficient in the beginning, definitely some hurdles there when I started.

[orchid glade]

I think I just got Raihan, Marnie and Lillie left after N

[maiden haven]

im done soon, got none of the pokefairs

not planning to get them either

[sudden forum]

Working on Marnie right now, I guess for when Poison Zone releases.

[orchid glade]

ye that's the problem they need to add more general pairs

[analog furnace]

you reckon 10pt > 7pt hot topic?

interesting

[sharp solar]

Max vibes only

Read the question

Outside of max vibes hot topics are the choice

[analog furnace]

ah sorry, I read the question, I had just misread it bc I was tired, my bad

some do go for 10pt interactions always though, so I'm curious as to how far some who have stuck to that have got with their pairs by now

[zealous osprey]

I always prioritize 10pts. 34/100 on my 7th pair now. Not bad I guess?

[analog furnace]

do you go any further with reset-stuff to keep a higher point average?

[zealous osprey]

I'd only reset for better starts before max vibes, around turn 2 or 3

[analog furnace]

I wanna say I used to do slightly better when I only went for 10 points, but I'm pretty sure that was only due to really unfortunate luck when I switched over. for almost 2 weeks, I had most of my interactions end immediately after max vibes, before gifting or right after gifting

I'm at my 6th pair around mid 70s rn, which I think is pretty good with that considered, coulda been a lot worse after that

lv34 on 7th pair is def on the higher end of it, but wanna see other examples of people who have prioritised 10pt

[orchid glade]

for after max vibe I usually go 10 points unless there is a hot topic giving the same

[sick cedar]

[rigid pilot]

Yall just yolo with high scoring topics over on topic?

[void lintel]

I mean, you definitely need an on-topic for Max Vibes

It's not a bad idea to straightup reset for one on turn 3

[cold ferry]

help i need a support cache team with 7 fire and yellow

[void lintel]

What's your other team?

Because 7 red and 7 yellow is really really cursed if you're trying to get tier3 red and yellow crystals

[cold ferry]

Something like team a Red blue and cache and team b yellow blue and cache
