Filter by Rare Cache, add ones that don't "damage" the color you wanted to build that team for, until you reach 8
ok then my advice would be Team A for Red / Yellow and Slot B for Blue & Chests like Gigafreak said
since team A & B have bonuses for those
for the event one just fill whatever's left really
alright, i’ll work around it
thank u guys
Slap a Rare Extract in to reach 10, and then fill the rest of the slots with that color
That is the most basic way to do it, anyway-- normally I'd recommend region shenanigans but you may not have enough region-bonus characters for it
Do notice that Champions, Elite Four, and Trial Givers tend to have +3/-1 stats, which is vital to building teams efficiently
Well there is a non region specific for team B that doesn't use rare extract
also do i still go for Rare + Red on Team A it seems like it gived bonus to Red + Yellow
unfortunately no Lilie, Gladion, or Lusamine 
I'll tell you a little more while I wait for my lunch...
Every character's expedition stat spread has a net value of +2.
Rare Cache points are worth twice as much as regular color points
This is why I recommended Rare Extract. It is basically worth 4 color points in value
Omni is better if you can still reach 10Rare with it, but if you're just starting... You may not be able to.
Make sure to come back in for cheer
alright thank u guysss
also guys are these things permanent or just one use
and are they worth it? i plan on raising blue first with friendships
Silver is the best one imo
Gold is used to speedrun someone to 100
Like cough silver
Gold you use when the guest is a major hater and you just want to get their unit and uninvite them
Can't wait to get dropped before I use my gold gift
It be like that sometimes
Special shoutout to Dawn
Anyone know what the message today said when you open the trainer lodge
I clicked out of it without reading it
Oh wait jk I think it was telling me my interactions carried over
I wouldn't say dawn since her +10 pointer is about average tho
And she actually has hot topics that have decent amount of +10 pointers
Gigafreak
Yeah silver only becomes easy to interact with when your hot topic is friends or Pokémon
Couldn’t use gifts. Dawn is my focus for another day then I can go back to leveling may
I DESERVED THIS AFTER HOW CRUEL SHE WAS TO ME THESE PAST FEW DAYS
finally someone who also has terrible luck with Dawn
I have only been able to give her a gift 2 times since she was added 😭 every other time she ditches me before I get a chance


wow nice emote 
light mode is an accessibility feature because dark mode can be difficult for people with astigmatism to read 
meanwhile the 🔜 emote being almost unreadable in dark mode
🔜
OOF
I can read it tho
Hello I plan on raising Blue would like some advice on how to raise him faster

Lots of resets 
you dont know what is max vibe?

i know but im confused abouthe closing app the rest ( DO it when u have 3 clickable topics)
I’m going to do Raihan next.
when you leave the game during the topic selection (not the animation), the items and interact counts will be refund and you can attempt interacting again and hope for better results
And you don’t close during an animation as it could lose everything
ohhh thank u guys
i’ve been doing the reset thing bc i’m not getting the max vibe how do we trigger this guys?
do we basically follow whats in this thing (i was using an item)
with items are you using the juice?
i believe im only using the glasses
is the juice required to help me for better chances?
juice makes you get vibe 100% when you choose a hobby in that example
i think i get the hang of it!
if you can do that then you fine
X6 is from 6 interactions at the same time
You buy 3 extra interactions from the shop and use them all at once.
Stonks
Yeesh Melony
Running a more literal kind of gym, huh
Ah yes, severe battle
Wait why does Melony run a gym gym?
I'veseen the event with Chuck and he runs an actual martial arts thing in his gym. SS players please let me know.
Maybe her bouncies are so big because she's trained her pectoral muscles underneath them... such as by doing push-ups
She's strict with herself and others
that's why
would get along with Kahlil
although Kahili is only strict with herself
What character has the most hot topics? I don't know who to do since Dawn is done and all lodge characters are finished.
You can go for your fave, even minmaxing pairs won't change much
Marnie
If you mean 10pointers, it's Marnie by a massive margin
If you mean options per topic, every guest has 9 topics with 7 options each
If you mean guests who have multiple topics (among the 9) that have a high density of 10pointers (among the 7 within, plus possibly 2 from location)... I have not evaluated that
Also there is a very small, negligible benefit to raising a Guest's FriendLv to 1,000. Their portrait in the Invite menu will have a rainbow frame.
If u consider 4 10 pointers for an average per topic, marnie still comes out on top
She only has friends and hobbies as topics that have lower than 4 10 pointers
I feel like "fewer than four 10pointers per topic" is normal and I'd evaluate "how many topics are Particularly Good For The Hot Topic" based on the ones that have 4+, yeah
Like, that's how I evaluated my current Friendlv1000 project (Cynthia). IIRC in the Lodge, she has three such topics
(Checks)
I remembered incorrectly. She has only two. Friends and Places. 
It can become three in the Villa but... eff leaving the Lodge when it gives two 10pointers
It comes down to the point if leaving the lodge actually pushes a topic to 4+ 10 pointer and leaving 'places' topic with 4+ topic
Like blue still has 4 10 pointer for places and 4 10 pointer topic for others if u select area 8 or whatever the location is
Cynthia already has 4 for Places. But in the Lodge, that becomes 6 
GIGAFREAK
Ended after max vibes and couldn’t gift but still made it to lvl 100. Still have 6 silver gifts for dawn
Hmmm okay I guess I'll do Marnie.
what are they finding
Dawn gave me a support candy coin!

Dawn gave me a normal candy coin a few days back but in exchange she also treated me like dirt
Seems a fair trade before this the best I got was rare essence
Best x6 run ever!!!!!

Dew eet
oh i did it
Now raise her to level 2.147.483.647
😳
Shitter
I can say I 100% TL friendships
Only left are the frames and those sync pairs to level 5
Now the question is if I go and put Cynthia or Rosa to level 500
The what?
Frame of the character on the select screen changes depending on the level
Hey gigafreak
Just curious on which do u think is more worth it to exchange over the other, gold key or silver key
Ah yeah that's true
90 for 10 levels vs 30 for 5 levels
Never thought of it this way
Thanks
Gigafreak
blue keeps dropping me at 80s-90s oh my god 
It be like that sometimes
First time seeing this, basically appears in the TL menu or invites?
Invite menu
(That's not my screenshot)
The levels go beyond 1000, but that's where the last frame color is unlocked
Archie has been replaced on stage
Steven's doing interviews with Hoenn's environmental activists, I guess
Sure is a dazzling dizzying stage
Damn, May shafted me 2 days in a row, and right now she's level 499 1/100
The irony in that
7 points
Nvm just saw it one sec before you posted
7pt in Other
Thanks tho 
I’ve still been interacting with Dawn past lv100 to use up my Gold gifts, and I have to say
She is my worst chara to interact with by far. I’ve gifted her successfully twice total, getting dropped at 90% repeatedly, and again dropped even after I gifted one of those times
unfortunately 
Nice
I shoulda just focused on my boy N as well 
i just had raihan leave me at 85% twice
you gotta be kidding me it was just after max vibe
got max vibe at 3th topic so it was either 4th or 5th when it ended
4% chance of leaving
15 levels for dawn today using silver gifts, making good progress 
What has a better ROI for mining lodge stones Marnie (most 10s ) or May (most big hot topics), considering hot topics now get repeated
Gigafreak
Sooo I’m about to reach lvl 100 in every single unit so i assume the next step is to unlock level caps, so is there any unit who has the best rewards ratio or something like that? I got all of them
The rewards are the same. If you don't have a particular favorite, Marnie has the most 10point topics, so you can get friendEXP a little faster with her
Finally
sycamore loved me holy shit
Lodge units should have had 5/5 grids
Pretty baseless statement.
Lodge units debuted before 5/5 grids and have no connection to them as of now.
let's not, their copies are already expensive as it is and I only have so much 4* support candies 
Dang this is the best interaction I've had in a while
Tina exists
Team Plasma is supposed to have kidnapped her. Maybe she just... walked out... because they aren't doing a good job keeping her locked up. And they have to re-kidnap her over and over...
~~Still less disgraceful than the team whose favorite pose is 🇫 ~~
I'm not making that up
I have close to zero knowledge about XY games so seeing this in Masters cracked me up
The new Villain Arc has you battling them
(The new Villain Event doesn't, yet, unless you include Elite Four Malva in the Extreme fight)
Serena and/or Calem really ought to know Malva is in Team Flare, since... she tells them during the League challenge
they are plotting something
Gigafreak
decent
Tomorrow will be Dawn being level 100 50/50 of FINALLY Lillie being 100 tomorrow also.
I'm happy to hear you went and did Lillie's lodge progress despite not liking Gen 7. Even if you don't like the character, lodge rewards are too important to pass up if they're available to you. 
This is the SECOND time Silver gave me a yellow coin and my fourth coin gift from lodge in general 
Silver may have hated me throughout all my interactions with him but now he's giving me coins

he's a "tsun de rais"
For the first few months of lodge I never got coins either
Then boom
Unfortunately, Lillie left at 99 so tomorrow be my last pair to complete, then I need to wait for a new lodge pair.
i still dont have any coins given by lodge pairs what worse is that my yellow is at 19
because I don’t have raihan
It's nice that there're coins on the Lv1-100 friendship rewards, at least
I think even the ones who got multiple coins from daily gifts, still got more from Lv1-100 rewards than from those
Gigafreak
I knew this was gonna happen someday
Everyone has been there at least once, I'm sure
Me when Elesa left me at 98 EXP at level 99 
When Lillie 100, I’m kicking her out the lodge.
Seems like someone has a grudge on Lillie
Because same
Interacting with her was hell for me. I was neutral towards Lillie at first but after doing her in lodge, I started to dislike her now 
Same, she gave me bad luck. But after seeing her story, I think I’m liking her a bit.
Ooh Cynthia finally gave me my first move candy! Support
She can translate one of Red's "..." into an entire paragraph. Not everyone can do that.
You can only be part of Red's friendship circle if you can interpret his morse code
Gigafreak
Who are they burying...?
your hopes and dreams
Ha! My hopes and dreams burn bright!
Crazy idea
Is it possible to hoard interactions so you can max out a new character in a day?
Or at least get close to maxing it out
Even in theory it's impossible to max a character in a day
If you do it right, you can interact a maximum of 13 times in a day, and best interaction scores I've seen are around 230
230 * 1.5 (gold gift) * 13 = 4485, so going up to lvl 45
Fair enough
But damn, 45 lvls in a day? I gotta start hoarding for the next TL trainer
That's if you give a gold gift and get 230 points
watch the next lodge character leave you at 95%
Hoarding atm is useless, you can only get 10 interactions at once. If you don't use them, you lose 6 interactions daily.
And you'll have your chance when datamine drops anyway.
Oh truee
There are ways to stack interactions without losing any
tho idk how it works (nor do I really care)
you can ask Quaggles if you want more details, I know they used it for dawn
The limit is always 10. Even if you carry them from the previous day by quitting, you won't have 13 when you enter lodge.
So once you reach 10, any future day is a waste of interactions.
You can reach 10 without wasting them, that's not a problem.
You will have 10, then you can buy 3 for the day, so that's 13
I'm talking about hoarding interactions over long periods of time, like today -> 1st of the next month.
Y'know, since the person from above wanted to hoard them for a new pair starting now.
then they can start hoarding them at the right day, but yeah saving before is a waste
That's my point exactly
I did it the last two times; the right day is two days in advance
Day -2: Use four interactions and carry the other two over via start&quit
Day -1: Use one interaction and carry the other five (plus the two from the previous day for seven total) via start&quit
Launch Day: 7 interactions carried over, 3 interactions from daily respawn: 10 interactions ready. Use them up and then buy and use the other three (you are not allowed to hold more than 10, so you can't blow all 13 on a single multi-interaction)
Optional: if you decide to use start&quit to carry over the last 3 interactions on Launch Day... this can end up being only one interaction session per day. Useful for busy people!
Who is this? Incoming character?
He has been in the game files for a very long time
He’s the gym leader of a town in alola he gives you surges badge
Only time they used him was in the event that debuted the outfit for Summer Steven.
He has been forgotten ever since.
His name is Ryuki
He was also used in a story of Leon's welcome event which he, Piers and Roxie met each other
Oh yeah that's right
Gigafreak


He has been in the game for 902 days
Someday he'll break free from NPC jail
Wait, outside of lodge expeditions, when was his most recent appearance?
I think Leon debut event
Because he was only in that and the summer event with Steven.
Hm. His EN name is still Japanese-sounding? I wonder if that's part of the joke
The man is bringing a Kanto (Japanese) style gym to America, and he picked the gym that is literally operated by the one American gym leader in that region
Anime fixed this 🙂
I read about that but I don't have all the details. Apparently they made it excessively ninja-themed, and Ash (who is literally from Kanto) had to protest
I wonder if they made jokes about the fact that there is a ninja-themed gym in Kanto, and Ash has been to it
Gigafreak
Have I... run out of Ultra Wishful Crystals??
The size difference of these two
He baby

Glad they managed to make it cute. I'm not sure folks with the phobia would handle it so well to have an actual arachnid (behaves more like a jumping spider than a tick?) the size of their shoe.
Apologies to the places where there actually are arachnids the size of shoes
Im scared of spiders but Joltik is one of my fav Unova pokemon 
And this
#poma-lounge message
So cute
Gold unlocks?
The gold friendship keys to unlock friendship lvl cap
Ah
My Lillie is almost level 400
Now that I think about it, it may be time to dump my friendship into someone else 
one day they will add lodge pokemon playing outside the window with Deerling
Currently they're all rabbits for the Year of the Rabbit
Gigafreak
Why are you spamming that?
This is the lowest I've ever gone. This was actually shaping up to be one of my worst interactions ever. Good turnaround.
Meanwhile today she left at 91% 🤡
Imagine if It kept going
How overkill
wasting exp like that, at least uncap the lv first 
Idc about lodge enough to unlock level caps lel
Neat first thought for my final lodge character as I have none of the limiteds

The level caps helps unlock certificates to level 150 more favs 
I’ll prolly only farm Serena
Besides, is Serena a true fav if you aren’t at level 1,000,000 with her in the lodge?
I ran out of characters so it’s just been Serena for a few days
Im out of characters until they add a new one next month.
So my buddy N until someone I have comes to lodge
Gigafreak
CHARIZARD PARTY
Unova elite 4 meeting
do i go for 1000
I guess it's fitting that a fella with the rainbow bird gets the rainbow frame
Fella's name is Silver
what's a good strategy for trainer lodge expeditions if i need to get more of the items (like the juices, shovels, etc.)
Did you unlock 6 slots?
is optimize fine for this part?
Swap when you get enough
sounds good, so prioritize maxing out to 6 slots first?
No, learn to do things with your own hands
Yeap
Don't spread colors, lvl 9 -> 10 is worth multiple lvl 4->5.
Look in their menu
Skills have letters written on them
You can read those letters
Check pins for more info
Once you have all six party slots (and remember, both team slots explore at the same time!), it's time to shift priority to Rare Caches. These are the sole source of tier4 crystals, and they give a smattering of tier3 and tier2 crystals to boot.
Ideally, you'd try for 10Rare and 8-10 of one color on each team.
Gigafreak
Seriously why are you only posting that twice everyday
i sure do love cynthia cutting off interactions at 90% 
Who is the best trainer to farm past level 100 cap? (Not limited)

Wdym
Marnie has the most 10 point topics.
Problem is, Marnie is limited
And they asked for... not limited
Worst to best...
Blue: 18 in the Lodge
Silver: 18 in the Villa
N: 18 in the Lodge
Elesa: 18 at the Gate or Lodge
Lillie: 20 in the Lodge
Dawn: 20 in the Lodge
Rosa: 21 in the Lodge
May: 21 on the Road, 22 in the Lodge
Serena: 21 in the Lodge or Villa
Cynthia: 22 in the Lodge
Raihan: 22 in the Villa
Sycamore: 22 in the Lodge
Marnie: 28 in the Lodge
That's the number of 10pointers each Guest has
Wait it matters where they’re at as well?
I just choose random
Locations add some topics to the pool
It matters if you care about min maxing that hard...
Tbh I feel like I would like TL even less if I was tryna optimise it
Not mentioning that force closing strats are borderline cheating and feel like work
If it works it works I guess. I don’t think the rewards are anywhere near worth the effort tho
The only one here where force-closing is necessary, is May on the Road
May on the Road sacrifices one 10pointer she could've had in the Lodge, in exchange for stacking another 10pointer into her already-best Hot Topic
Though I have been doing force-close shenanigans with Cynthia. She has the same number of 10pointers in both the Lodge and the Villa; the Lodge is like May on the Road (more 10pointers into one topic) whereas the Villa puts its 10pointers into one of Cynthia's weaker topics and makes it as strong as her best ones
I have been using the Villa for her, lately. For more stable resetting.
Had to draw the line somewhere for performance vs hassle.
Anyway, here, I'll use our handy-dandy tutorial girl as an example
See how some of the things have the Explore symbol next to them? Those are specific to certain locations. Each location, including the temporary seasonal ones, has two exclusive topics.
You can see that two of the gold ones in the Places category, have a 1️⃣ next to the explore symbol
For Location 1. The Lodge.
Looks like she also has two 10pointers in the Other category, from Location 8 (the Villa). You can see the location numbers, and whether their two topics give gold/silver/bronze results for this character, in the top right
Like... location 7 (Ruins) has only two bronze (5point) topics. Rosa just isn't that interested in Rock-Types or Ruins.
(Cynthia loves Ruins, but isn't that enamored with Rock-Types)
he’ll be 100th by reset
Should i use my stones for TL pairs move levels or something else?
Only if they're Supports
Because Support candies are annoyingly scarce
Striker and Tech candies are much more common
After Support dupes to 3/5, the rest can go to Certificates of Excellence (to level uncap 140 --> 150)
I just finished lillie
Should i go for dawn, may or serena
None of them are remote my favs lol
Sure, but why
I enjoyed her the most out of the 3
go for whichever lodge pair whose kit you like the most, then
I'd go for Dawn too. an extra support is always appreciated
May's got the least-useful kit among them, I think
Serena's debuffs can be handy; Dawn's kit actually resembles Roxanne's so that's pretty good
Teamwide SpAtk, Speed, and (Sp)Def
Struggle Bug to debuff the enemy team, rather than Ancient Power
All of these are useful for a Support
Also can grid for Team Sharp Entry 1, so if you have a teammate who gives theirself +2 crit... this gives the third stack of crit, potentially saving you a turn
Can grid for Vigilance, too
Also I realize a lot of other characters can do it, but Lodge Dawn can solo Latios
Hunh, there's also a video of her soloing Tapu Bulu
Bar 1 and 2: get as many syncs as possible...
Bar 3: Don't get hit by Wood Hammer
Grid: https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/11600/41300?s=3&l=140&r=4&p=0&a=18040802&g=AAECAwQFExYZJScpKissLQ
I don't like any of them lol. That's why i was choosing based in utility
I'd go Dawn, then Serena, then May
In utility order, anyway
May's regular pair does what her Lodge pair does, but better
So... yeahhhhh
Huh, i never knew dawn is actually decent. I thought she seems meh but maybe I'm just blinded that she has wormadam
(Somewhere, Bugsy's shouting "Bug-types are deeper than people think!")
I love bugs don't get me wrong
It's just wormadam we're talking about here
Yeah, Wormadam's the D/P equivalent to, like, Butterfree
Butterfree is iconic though
Perhaps.
I liked Trash Coat even if it meant a double weakness to Fire, just because Steel is uncommon
This is Plant Coat, though...
...Which, uh, also has a double weakness to Fire.
Wormadam can't win 
The only bug more forgettable than wormadam is mothim
Mothwho?
Exactly
if you genuinely don't know he's the male evolution of ..wormadam's preevo which name escapes me
Tl; dr line is forgettable
and On a Roll 4!
I'm waiting for apologems
But maybe it's just a galaxy brain strategy our feeble minds cannot comprehend yet
Out of curiosity, somebody has sent a feedback telling them about this mistake right?
I'm hoping dena change it to mind games 4
Mind Games 4 would make way more sense, yeah. One debuff guaranteed and a second with a 50% chance
What's even more impressive is u can still take team sharp entry, vigilance and mind games 4 if dena decided that it is on her grid
Leaving the option of mind games 2 for her lucky skill still
Gigafreak

I hope I never pull Lillie from the gen pool again
Idc if mines 1/5
I don’t want her

gotta love this bonus event
She does have Colors as a 10point topic
Lol it’s all good
500 
Happened to me b4
Oh yeah I got hit by that, and the game froze lol
Luckily I picked up the item before it did
Outer space is not location either 
This is officially 1984
No it's 2023
You are denying me my birthright
what
Don’t tease me with Hoohs I don’t have
skipping shiny Ho-oh is one of my biggest PMEX regrets 
Rerun soon tm

I shall make my goal brag about my 3/5 EX SS Morty in front of november and Aurochs every chance I get
I shall find Odinson's weakness and exploit it in return
funny thing is, I saw Darkrai making a lass and a hiker sleep today, I do not have SS Cyrus
not that I care, I have CCalem 
yeah, bonus events happen even if you don't have the pair
Raikou when? 
soon 
WE STRIKE
how many friendship points is generally considered a good interaction?
It depends, really. Personally I consider being able to go below 80% attention after giving a gift to be good enough
140 imo
Is that actually all +10 pointers
Highest I've seen
👀
Wait and the hot topic is Pokémon too
Pretty high run for not being the best hot topic

That was the craziest considering how bad she is
And my best run to this day still
It's cool and all but I wouldn't miss out on daily gems for interaction 
You don’t miss out
You do 1 daily
Save other ones
Actually the only way to short yourself is buying gold gifts
But like is it worth to sacrifice like this
Never do that

You don't sacrifice anything
You just carry interactions from one day to another
^
👍
Assuming dena don't suddenly start increasing lodge pairs per month to 2, we have about 20 free days per month
For our favourite
With new feel ring it takes me an average of 7 mins to get 1 190+ run
That's 200 levels on average i guess
You get lodge stones for each level
There's also a small visual change in the Invite menu
I think there are some other invisible things that happen although not proven %'s. Increased chance for "free" item during interaction as the character level goes up
Hot damn man
what are the rewards for getting at these levels?
Just more lodge stones is all
And new invitation borders
Sorry late reply but
Can one still get 5* pus
At 100+
As a gift.
...Sod the powerups, that would mean unlimited candy coins
Certificates, coins, powerups oh my
My man N literally gave me a tech coin.
Maybe 1 candy coin of the unit role every 100 levels
Like you get 100 level with may and you get a tech candy coin
Got 1 strike coin from May not enough to compensate for leaving me at topic 3 twice yesterday
With 5/5 grids it will help
You should use all the items and fish for max vibes turn 2 or 3
Generally i skip the hot topic turn 1
Yeah on good days, I aim for Max Vibes on the third or fourth topic
Second is pushing it.
Just felt confident that no way she leaves on 3rd topic twice
After a non hot topic 2nd turn i think she gets like 8 or 9% chance of failure
Yes i dont get 5 star in a pull of 12% chance but she gets to leave with just 9% chance twice, love this game
I fish for hot topic by 2nd. Been burned too many times at 96%
If you want to give gift at 100%, why not do it at the start? That way you can safely go for 3rd turn hot topic
The adventurer-archaeologist-champion has places to go and things to do, it seems
(Indiana Jones champion? Lara Croft champion?)
6-9. Better than 5-10 
MORE GEN POOL LODGE PAIRS

Morty

Gen pool lodge pair indeed lol
YEAAAAH
What color is Morty supposed to need? (Time to stock up)

that's exactly what I lack
not yellow thank god 🙏
Teamwide Speed, SpAtk, and Crit... Lodge Morty is looking good already
No defense buffs tho but close enough
Yeah, those're all on his Mismagius
Mismagius is his defense support alt; this is his offense support alt
Still has Hax survivability though. Confusion and Evasion this time, rather than Mismagius with Flinch
SSMorty is his immortal at lol
I mean, that one's a Fair, so that's not exactly a fair (heh) comparison
And ss morty is his gauge support alt
Do we have Morty topics list yet? I imagine we don't.
Absol tweets
Mismagius also has confusion. Which is handy versus Uxie
If only the Gastly had more than one rank of Ridicure in the grid
late af💀 but thx
TL morty is a person with uncommon ability to max sp atk, crit and evasion
Since most of the supports are atk buffers
He gets the "budget" for it by only buffing his own evasion and not the whole team's
'Course, being a tank, that works fine
I never realized I could’ve used all interactions at once.
That literally saved me time.
I probably shouldn’t use that once morty comes right?
Why not?
You can take time to get used to his interaction topics
But it doesn't really matter in a long run
You could just use a guide or infograph anytime you want, anyway
Though we would have to wait until Morty's infograph is ready
Until then, here's his Pomatools chart
Twenty-one 10pointers in the Lodge. Nice.
Same number in the Villa
Ugh, you'd think he'd be great in the Halloween zone, but he's only got 5pts for Parades
I notice something else, though.
...
Rather, I notice something missing...
It looks like we're not getting a Palentine's expedition
Have we actually never redecorated the town plaza for Palentine's?
Interesting indeed that he has Eusine as a topic.
I'd wondered if the series would even remember he exists
Maybe he will show up with a shiny Suicune to greet Kris'.
It would give him a strong parallel to Morty, in fact...
eusine has evolved from not even existing in game to lodge option hell 🙏
What color items will Morty need?
Red
When will Morty be out?
how many days do you need to stack lodge interactions? I'm assuming it's 6+[3(d-1)]
To get 10?
Just one day, no?
you get 3 daily + 3 each day, so that's 1 day
I assume that the daily ones don't get refreshed if you don't use your interactions
Mm, you get 6 day 1. Spend one for missions.
Transfer 5 to day 2, get 3 daily, buy 2 more, totals to 10.
you still get daily interactions..?
If you leave them be, they don't
so you could jsut straight up use 1 and get profit?
You need to start an interaction, before reset and quit
Where did you get "profit" from? You don't get more interactions, you just transfer them
Just in case, before you attempt it, ask for a step by step instruction. Not sure you got it all right.
oh wow ok
I didn't expect for 5 interactions to be transferable while still getting the next day's daily
I just assumed the dailies stop unless you're under 3
Since they get refunded after the login, you technically enter the day with 0 interactions
As I said, they do. You can't just stay with 5 and hope for free daily stuff. Interact, quit, return after reset.
yeah I acknowledged using the interaction by removing 1 from the original/optimal 6 you get each day
This is fine
so all I have to do is interact once the day before lodge Morty comes out, and I'll basically have 11 interactions at the ready..?! 
By "interact" I meant "Start an interaction with 5 interactions at once". You need to "use" them, then quit mid-interaction. Game refunds them when you log in - after reset.
OH maybe I could use up another day to stack to 9, then get the 3 from shop to have 12 
10 is max number at once btw
technically 13 if you transfer 10 interactions to the next day, since shop exists 
At once
so what I got from this is: get in that "quit mid-interaction" state before reset, wait until the next reset, and then you get those interactions back?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I'm seeing from others, you can use 10 interactions at once for a "date" right?
can't you just transfer all 10?
that way you technically get 13: 10 from the transfer, and 3 from the shop
what if you use those transfered ones, and after that, use the shop ones?
on the same day
It's like orb limit. You can't hold more than 99.999, no matter what you have in the shop
does that work?
That works, yes
so technically I can use 13 interactions on a single day
I just have to use 10 for one interactoin, 3 on another
idk what to call them since the item is already called an "interaction"
You can just use generic terms "in one go", "at once".
Repeating "interaction" is also not that bad
During max vibes, is it better to select a bonus topic or a hot one
One that gives you 10 points, it doesn’t matter if its a hot topic
Don't we all 
How am I supposed to have all Kantrio EX when lodge blue is not EX-able
I wish Lodge pairs had an ex, support or not
noo I didnt invest 20/20 on serena that's not truuue
Let me EX Lodge Cynthia pls
Emma is gainfully employed but still dresses like she's homeless. It would be one thing if that's just her favorite outfit, but the actual wildest detail is... her EX outfit (being a colorswap) is an identically torn/patched one in a different color
Like, I get that she can't wear that fancy bodysuit all the time, but she could put on a new shirt and stockings maybe
Ex only changes colors as far as I’ve seen, we’re u rly expecting a outfit change for ex lol
I was expecting her to show up to Pasio wearing clothes in good repair to begin with
ultimately it all just comes down to them wanting the base unit to have an outfit from the game and she doesn't have any normal clothes in XY 
The implications of the EX colorswap also being torn/patched in exactly the same places, is just funny
needs her game outfit to be recognizable, she can get a glowup for a future alt
Yeah, this is the Doylist ("out-of-universe") reason
If not a Sygna or seasonal costume, she could get that suit
wait actually would be super cute if she gets an alt and it's casual wear and she's like "looker bought this outfit for me~" I'd cry on the spot
I mean, if that's how she got a new outfit, I'd start worrying that they're not paying her enough
If I'm being honest, I'm kinda worrying that now in fact
I do wonder the conditions of her employment
was she ever formally employed by the international police?????
Right?
like it just kinda felt like looker being like "lol u can have my place, peace" without her like.............. actually being hired by anyone 😭
like cool she got a building to live in but
she still needs some cash money
food and clothing ain't cheap
Certainly not in France Kalos
Tbh if your routine is the same, it's more likely to tear clothes the same way. Exact same places are still rare, sure.
I feel like "works for interpol" is going to bring her a radically different daily routine compared to "is a pauper surviving on the streets"
Hm, how about "still visits old friends surviving on the streets"
Hopefully Looker pays the child support fee
Another good day
I'm no longer a fake 😤 lodge pair EXs when, dena????
May gave me a strike candy coin 
I need to catch up
This looks new
Liv and Mallow? Do they have a connection? I didn't play that gen 
They do
They welcome the player when we go to Akala Island for the first time
Olivia is also a big fan of Mallow's cooking
I see, so they're like neighbors at least-- but they could be closer. Like family, or something. Thank you.
I'm likely missing something but, how do you go with 10 interactions? Don't we get only 6 per day?
You can quit interaction and return after reset to get used interactions back + 3 daily
- 3 in the shop
huh, interesting exploit
because yes, that's literally what it is lol
don't you miss out on the daily gems tho?
or does quitting count for the mission?
I see
That reminds me, I gotta do mine, today.
I mis-planned it, so it's going to take longer than normal...
Morty arrives to the lodge on the morning of the 31st (two resets from now). I thought I had an extra day.
The plan was...
T minus two days: Buy one bonus interaction, spend four in one go with "use all interactions," buy the other two, carry them over with Interact-and-quit
T minus one day: two interactions carried over, three interactions from daily regen, for five total. Use one interaction (four left) and buy the three in the shop (now seven left). Carry them over.
Release day: 7 carried over plus 3 from regen make 10 interactions. Pow.
...I bought all three interactions today because I thought he'd release on the 1st. While I did catch the error before it was too late... now I gotta do four single-interactions instead of one bundled interaction
I'm honestly curious, why is there such a need to min max Lodge this hard?
There isn't, really, it's mainly personal preference
I always do 1 interaction for 2 days and use my 10 interactions on the 3rd day and the cycle repeats
3 + 3 - 1= 5
5 + 3 - 1= 7
7 + 3= 10
And then there's me who just do 6 interactions
Same
same
the only scenario I can think of is to be able to use the lodge unit in time for gauntlet
I just do my 6 interactions and done
if luck decides to be cruel on me, so be it, I take the L and cry
lol
I'm never in a rush tbh, like, even with some bad luck I still reach lvl 100 in like 12 days or so
and then have to go back to leveling up someone long past that because I ran out of new pairs 
Same
is there a max friendship level for lodge pairs?
Yes
nvm googled it and it was 9999999
You’re looking at outdated info lol
2,15 billion now
lol wtf 😛
It’s entirely possible that the cap has always been that high, but the limiter on the numbers limited it to 9,999,999. Then the update released the limiter and there we go haha
that high a number is so freaking pointless xD
Aye we’ll never see it capped in our lifetime
what if, we get lodge microtransactions? 😛
Ew pls no
The sooner I get the new guest's lodge pair, the sooner it stops hanging over my head
As someone said, it's for personal preference. Min max expedition is so that we don't run out of resource anytime and fishing for keys from chest, as for sync pair friendship levels it's to get the new lodge pair over and done with at 100 and going back to getting my favourite to 1000

No infographic of lodge morty?
Oh ok
Use this for... okay, I can't say "for now" because he's not here yet, but you can look at it if you want
Thx so much
Oh wow

Looks like it's gonna be a easy one huh
4 topics with 4 or more 10 pointers at lodge
23 ten pointers at lodge
Looks good
Oh huh I had no idea certain topics are level locked
Level locked topics are based on the locations, like Lv 1 = Trainer Lodge, Lv 40 = Battle Villa
Ohh ok now I get it
morty tonight?
morty tomorrow night
I.e. two resets
i cry
Late but they also have a credits image together
Even the Lycanroc loves it, apparently
So Liv could be a neighbor, could be family, could be roommates... or could just be a regular at her restaurant
Thank you
Well, Olivia is Akala Island's Kahuna, nothing odd in her knowing who the captains are and such
Lana, Kiawe and Mallow live in that island
In this case it's about "why would DeNA put a Bonus Event where she's specifically chatting with Mallow in the distance"
Are there equivalents for Lana and Kiawe with her?
Brock has competition, then
She forced me to do it
Morty on the 1st?
The snorlax model in poma always confuses me because it always looks shiny
Morty in four hours, if I'm not mistaken
Selecting Raihan on the last select for his Lodge pair was a pretty good decision lmao
You sure?
Timezones
Timezones have nothing to do with refuting "in four hours"
(Or in 20 minutes now)
31st isn't 31st everywhere
Then why'd they say the 1st tho
Who?
Here
Because they have it as 1st in their timezone?
Usually, timestamps/datestamps in these announcements auto adjust to device timezone
Lemme check
Aaand there it is. Gods damn it DeNA.
I'm EST and it says Feb 1st for me
Says February 1st for me
I found a discrepancy and it's much stupider
I'm EST as well
It says Feb 1st on my phone
For some reason, accessing that page on my PC shows Jan 31
My PC is on EST
Why the hell...?
Wait, you're viewing it on PoMa site?
Showing it with the URL bar as proof
Yes
Brain failure, but I recall news always being one day away due to them featuring another timezone
Great
Mystery solved
New mystery: DeNA why are you like this
Tomorrow is going to be really annoying...
Forever a mystery item
The void bonus event
Today i reached my first ever 0%
Fun Fact:
Ever wondered why the Friendship Level Cap is = 2.147.483.647 ?
This is because this variable is an integer and the maximum posible positive numbers it can hold is 2.147.483.647
This got me thinking, how long would it take to reach it?
Assuming that from now on i always have the exact same outcome (0%, 6x Interactions and 6x Silver Gifts) ....
That is 6.432 Levels increase per year
It would "only" take: 333.875 Years for 2.147.484.000 (yes i know that the number is above the maximum, but given the dimension i would not lived it out anyway...)
For reference this starts from 244 ->
If I save today’s 5 interactions (3 Exchanged + 2 Daily) will any of it be lapsed?
Use them, quit the game and don't touch lodge till tomorrow, you will get the dailies for tomorrow too i think
Does someone have the level-border thing for lodge readily on hand
Like how level 100 is gold, 200 is green, etc etc
Here
Yeah
Ah. Neat
Morty Interactions

Seems that Morty's best place is either the Lodge or the Battle Villa
I forgot to check but does anybody know if the new units have good expedition skills? Any chest units ? Multiple based on region units?
Palentines Mallow: +2 Wistful
Palentines Elesa: +2 Firey
SS Lysandre: -1 Soothing -1 Wistful +2 Cache
Emma: +2 Firey
Anabel: +2 Wistful
Ugh if only SS Lysandre doesn't have negative wistful
:warning: | Trainer with that name isn't registered.
Done o o
EXCITEMENT BUILDING ONLY FOR FASHION 
Thanks for leaving me at 90% Morty! Can't wait to be rid of you.
Lmao bot zone full off invalid requests 
10 interactions wasted 
What can I say but OOF
5
4
x10!
this feels like Kaioken
the more multiplier the more risk you're gonna do
This worked! Thanks a lot!! 
What command is it we use to find the topic chart here?
Not implemented yet, only available on Pomatools
For Morty, that is. For others it's/lodge

didn't expect this at all, should've used x1.5 items but i never use them for low levels 
What's the difference between low and high levels?
at low level you don't have all the topics so feel like a gamble 
but it's always a gamble anyway
Doubt the location choice influences that much, but I didn't think of that at all, fair.
and usually i had trash luck at early levels, usually got 8-10 levels with 6 interactions 
"I foresaw this win"

Any of you have his table?
Got this
Table?
Oh that thing haha
For a second I thought you meant decorations and furniture
I would love to buy just a really fancy table
A fancy table so I can chat with Morty? Yes pls
:warning: | Trainer with that name isn't registered.
Morty's infographic isnt out yet
Does Morty have a best Location that isn't the Lodge?
Yeah, I’ll take it. Good start
So either is fine?
Yea
Seems pretty sus
ended at 95 wasted 10, fing he
But level 1 is two 10 point for morty
Other locations are either worse or the same at best
Morty's lodge convo is golden
However leveling up doesn't directly unlock other topics, it just unlocks other locations that have 2 exclusive topics, but if you switch location you lose pasio and trainer lodge topics, and those are 10 point topics, the only other worth location is the level 40 one since is still two 10 point topics, but it only matters if the hot topic is other or places, but you can't know before selecting the location
Level 40 is the best place for Morty only for who resets for other hot topic
and by "you" he means "them" 
Do we have a best topics list for Morty yet?
Pinned
Oh duh lol. My bad. I just scrolled up for like 40 seconds looking for it.
What's the highest round an interaction can go to?
Wait what? Maybe I worded it wrong, I meant the topic. 290 seems obscene since I consider myself lucky if I get to double digits.
What do u mean by highest topic
Number of topics in a single interaction.
Oh
Before the person you're talking to decides to cut you off.
14?
14 is the highest I've seen.
I can't remember
Alright, thanks.
From here
With insane luck and inadvisable decisions, it's probably possible to go farther than 15
The Attention losses are extremely severe on turn 13+, so it's probably not that much farther
15 is the current known record, at least
10 levels a day is good enough alr 
Btw gigafreak how disappointed are u when u saw SS Lysandre with a -1 to wistful

First interaction with morty didn’t go well for me, ouch.
But least I can use all interaction at once at least. It’ll make getting him to 100 faster.
I wasn't? Because Shauna already provides a route to 10/10 Blue/Cache
And Shauna's genpool
Regular Lysandre is already part of that team, so we can't use SSLydandre in it anyway
Something tells me all my dates with me are gonna go smooth
I mean it would've been nice if we could use either Lysandre to achieve the 10/10

Just got to wait for a +3 wistful kalos
We don't need one anymore though
Team B (+1Blue, +1Rare)
Sycamore (+5Blue)
Lysandre (+2Rare)
Evelyn (+2Rare)
Nita (+2Rare)
Shauna (+2Rare)
Off-region Champion or Elite Four Support (+3Blue)
Omni Extract (+1Blue, +1Rare)
That's 10 and 10.
Hypothetical Support Malva or Hypothetical Support Drasna would allow for replacing one of the others with an off-region trainer, but... they're not needed
Yes
