Trainer Lodge

[lucid gulch]

Who is the pair with the better 10 to 5 points ratio (excluding Marnie)?

[mortal trench]

Where’s the expeditions page😭 I came back to the game after half a year and I can’t find it for the life of me please help

What the f

Nvm the moment I said that it’s back I guess my phone is screwing with me

Sorry guys💀

[rain belfry]

How can you save interactions?

[sharp solar]

This.

[rain belfry]

Ooh, nice

So you could technically save up hundreds of interactions?

[sharp solar]

It's capped at 10.

[rain belfry]

Bummer

[void lintel]

You could carry 7 over into a new day, and gain the 3 from that day's daily regen, putting you at 10. Then you can use them up all at once, and then buy the 3 in the shop for a total of 13 interactions on day 1.
I prefer to carry the last 3 over into day 2, so I only have to do the minigame once per day

10+9 is the same as 13+6 in the end

[wooden marsh]

10+9 is my preference too

[brave gulch]

I got lucky for 2 days, 17 levels a day with 6x interactions a day

[raven badger]

imagine if ball guy was a lodge pair. what second pokemon would he get

[void lintel]

Voltorb/Electrode would be the obvious one

The egg event also suggests that Exeggcute is Ball-ish

Maybe Magnemite's core body is a ba--... sphere as well

[raven badger]

thank you lillie, 1k

i needed those badly

and got another like 1.5k from expedition

[grim widget]

I was interacting eith Steven

And the game crashed

So I'm like, excited because it means i can reset the interaction

Only to find out that was the supposed last interaction

I felt blindsided

[raven badger]

It only lets you retry if the last started interaction wasn’t in an animation that would of ended it I think. Or maybe it’s in animation in general?

I know it’s recommended to only reset when you’re able to actually pick an option and not between at least

Something about it autosaving results the second it’s decided it’s ending and just sending results on app startup I think

Think that was the explanation

[void lintel]

It does the "will the convo drop out now?" RNG roll at the instant you select the topic, and autosaves if the answer turned out to be Yes. This happens before it actually shows you the resulting animations

The instant after you click the topic, it has already determined the Attention drop, the resulting Attention% value, whether the convo is still alive or now dead, and autosaves in the latter case.

And then the Guest visibly reacts to what you just said

[shadow bramble]

Steven joins Marnie

[zenith niche]

Nearly halfway, but man so far has been leaving only at 130

[quasi sigil]

day 3 of Steven in lodge, man still hates me!

what a fun time to be a steven stan

I just got 3 bonus events back to back to back lol

Was trying to get a cheer on my team B so I kept going in and back again

May took my 6 gifts and ditched at 90%

[hollow kiln]

I wish the album have photos of other character’s alts. Such as SS Blue, Morty the Dracula, May’s Red Dress, Anniversary costumes of Lillie and N, and Gloria’s summer outfit.

[quasi sigil]

yeah, sadly they don't make photos of older alts

it's weird how NY Dawn has no lodge photo though...

[raven badger]

After all these days of no results I’ll take it

[quiet vortex]

I think it's strange that they don't but I guess it's too much work

(half sarcasm)

[plush iron]

It's finally over T_T

[worldly ivy]

So close to 1k with silver but

[daring vigil]

I hate it when you talk to the trainer like 3 times and then they just end the conversation early :I

[worldly ivy]

He's so mean to me

[daring vigil]

it's so rude

[orchid glade]

Steven has been mean to me left three days early in a row

[daring vigil]

[celest swallow]

I got Sycamore to 150, so I can start working on Steven tomorrow.

We never got a follow-up to this, did they stop making them?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSCWVtWWmqY

[sharp solar]

Why 150?

[celest swallow]

I level up some while waiting for a new one to be added, in order to get exchange material for upgrades.

[severe river]

Why 150 specifically

Or why not just level up your fave

[sharp bramble]

Yeah 150 is an odd stopping point because it’s 50 levels beyond the last unique reward

[plain nova]

Great, hopefully done in 2 more days

[mild edge]

Lvl 84 Steven; hopefully 100 tomorrow

[daring vigil]

i love this genre of pokemon gifs

[vestal kraken]

What are they doing?

[severe river]

I guess this is like the new world dillemma event

[nocturne aurora]

Hey Winston! Sorry for the out of nowhere ping/message, do you have your DMs closed by any chance?

We tried to reach you about something a while ago

[severe river]

Sorry, i’ll open them

[nocturne aurora]

No worries, and appreciated!

[severe river]

Aight, done :)

[worldly ivy]

LEVEL 1000 EXACTLY LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[night tide]

!!!

With the rainbow birb comes the rainbow border

[void lintel]

Before and after r e v e n g e

[zenith niche]

Welp

[quiet vortex]

FINALLY completed blue today... of course when he only needed 4 level ups he left at 35% attention
moving onto serena officially

[long nymph]

Found a non existent sync pair pairing is there any bonus interaction that is similar like this?

[sharp solar]

You can look up all Bonus events on YT, I doubt people know them by heart

[dense saddle]

Me, I asked

Cry about it

[carmine sedge]

[sudden forum]

why doesn't absol post the expedition skills anymore

[thick widget]

They did post it

I sent here too, lemme find it

Here

[sudden forum]

Hmm, I don't see this on twitter or their pastebin (it still says Jan 27th)

[thick widget]

Maybe they deleted the tweet?

I sent the info to here as soon as they posted

[robust warren]

absol did post them

just as a picture

so it’s kinda hard to search for it

[zenith niche]

🤩

[quasi sigil]

poor in red crystals? haha, same!

[robust warren]

so they’ve been hiding here for the past year

[quasi sigil]

poor striaton trio, stuck in NPC jail and only occasionally let out during bonus events

[zenith niche]

Love how all 3 of my faves in lodge are Silver, Morty and now Steven, thanks for only strikers DeNa

[naive canopy]

So, question: when using the support items, like the shovel and juice, does anyone else feel the characters leave sooner when you use them? Because the past few days with item support I’ve been getting ghosted at 80% on topic 5

[plain nova]

no it's just luck

[quasi sigil]

me with Blue, Silver, N, Steven, Cynthia, Morty... oh gosh help me

[hollow kiln]

Time will tell whether the trio will get playable status.

As of right now, I’m hoping for either Jasmine or Diantha to come join the lodge

[coral merlin]

I only have 1 lodge fave. Can already know now.

[plain nova]

This ahole no wonder you lost to Ash

[zenith niche]

OH MY GOD SAME 😭

[tiny musk]

final stretch and steven decides to be mean is so unfortunate 😭
(it happened to me as well yesterday... stopped at 99.)

[plain nova]

I even used x1.5 items but he decided to stop early at 7th interaction

[zenith niche]

I ran out of materials to exchange for the x1.5 gifts, really making me broke out here

[quasi sigil]

"hated by steven" gang, anyone?

[celest swallow]

A little late, but well...
I actually do level up characters gradually when there's no new lv100 to be had. I think I need to rotate between the roles for saving some material for each.

Weird logic, maybe.

[naive canopy]

Dawn loves to ghost me early. 90% attention, topic 5 and she dips. RIP ten interaction points

[raven badger]

Why does Lillie hate me. When she’s literally my fav trainer

[zenith niche]

Dang I got lucky on the last interaction of course

[carmine sedge]

I'm very close to level 1k on May, but she just drops me very fucking early

[severe river]

Why’d you use all 6

[zenith niche]

Because I'm taking him to 1k babeeeeee

already moving his level cap

[severe river]

Then ig it’s not the last interaction

[zenith niche]

no, but my highest interaction was right before 100

Couldn't haven't had that anywhere before

[quiet vortex]

I should have taken a screenshot because I don't know why with all items active and a x6 item gift I only got 64 points with Serena (she was at 80% attention but I gave her an item- I think I was on 6 or 7 interactions)

Did I just not get bonus time and didn't notice

[sharp solar]

Are you following interaction charts? If you pick 5 point topics, that might be the problem

[sudden forum]

1 Interaction short of level 100 Steven.

[lucid steppe]

how do you ensure that the one who greets you is the one who has the highest friendship level?

short of un-inviting everyone except that person LMAO

[sharp solar]

You're given a gift by the last person you interacted with.

[lucid steppe]

ahhh

so I should spare one interaction every day for my highest pair?

[sharp solar]

While raising someone's level to 30, you can uninvite them at the start of the day

So that your lvl 30+ pair gives you a gift instead

[lucid steppe]

noted!

[lucid steppe]

huh so I can do it after daily reset happens as long as I don't take it yet?

[sharp solar]

Yup

[lucid steppe]

noice

thanks

[quasi sigil]

Good day to everyone except Steven who still hates me

Steven you're lucky I love you

[lucid steppe]

desire sensor moment

[lucid steppe]

so, trainer lodge

how do I maximize my progress?

10 days of my playthrough was spent on the introduction of lodge

[thick widget]

first, buy 3 additional slots in your expedition teams

[lucid steppe]

so 8 months of break has given me...hmm lemme get a screenshot

[sharp bramble]

There’s… a way to trick the game so you can reset endlessly but it requires two devices iirc

[thick widget]

no need to screenshot

[lucid steppe]

I mean, I have like 22k of the silver tier things for red and blue

[thick widget]

have you done this?

[lucid steppe]

yep!

[thick widget]

great

now build 3 teams, each team has the highest level on rare cache and a colour as much as possible, then rotate them depends on your needs

check the pins for team recommendations

[lucid steppe]

oh wow

alright, will do

A bit rough since it needs boosts

[thick widget]

these are Team A and Team B right?

if possible try to build a blue/rare cache team as well

since the colour of materials for each character is based on their original role

red = striker
yellow = tech
blue = support

[sharp solar]

To swap out from time to time.

[lucid steppe]

the one with may is team B, the one with Selene is team A

[thick widget]

who are you interacting with?

[lucid steppe]

as in...lodge interaction?

or what

[thick widget]

yep

or the one having the highest level rn

[lucid steppe]

currently I have no focus, just spreading out levels to get that 5* scout ticket at lvl 5

highest one is ho-oh/silver at 20

I wanted to push him to 30

for greeting gifts

also I forgot what's the base location bonus for team A and team B

one of them has +1 on rare cache and some color

[thick widget]

since the base Silver is strike, so you need Red materials to buy his gifts

Team A: +1 on Red and Yellow
Team B: +1 on Blue and Cache

[lucid steppe]

hmmm my blue team isn't working

[thick widget]

is there something wrong?

blue teams are the hardest to build

[lucid steppe]

Yep, kinda dead

[quasi sigil]

That's decent enough for now

Just use the blue extract

[thick widget]

yeah

oh btw, who will you interact with next?

[lucid steppe]

Honestly, no idea

Should I push silver to 100

Or should I switch to blue or sycamore

[thick widget]

you said Silver is your target rn

Blue next is a good choice since he is a good support

so use red team to farm for red materials

the remaining team can be either yellow or blue

[lucid steppe]

noted

[lucid steppe]

so the strat is always lvl 100 someone then move on?

btw, do it all individually

or all 6 in one

[thick widget]

6 in one

[quasi sigil]

Yes, since that's where the unique rewards stop

At level 100 you get their lodge pair

[lucid steppe]

should I stop doing this

[sharp solar]

Focus on one pair

[random cloud]

It doesn’t really matter in the long run outside of the amount of time it takes to use all 6

[sonic stream]

I should be able to get Steven and Cradily tomorrow if I don't get bad luck

[mild edge]

Steven dropped me at 90-93 Dena knows

[lucid steppe]

Do yall wait until they drop 20% to give the gift

Morty abandoned me at 79%

Too bad they don't do any subterfuge like FE series rng display, it's truthful but the probability feels unreal

[void lintel]

I think they only did that for like two or three FEs, at that

[lucid steppe]

so yeah do yall use gifts as soon as possible

feel kind of sad that my shovels and rings and specs went to waste

although I suppose they're abundant enough that it doesn't really matter in the long run

[void lintel]

Lately I've been pushing to use them as close to 80% as possible

Your 79% thing would've gotten me too

If I'm at ~85% and none of the three choices are worth 10pts, I sometimes use it then.

So I can benefit from reshuffling the topics

Or if I'm at ~85% and none of the three choices are Hot Topics. I don't want to risk going down to ~75% attention before gift

[mortal shard]

[sharp bramble]

This is what I do yeah

[night tide]

This is just annoying

[carmine sedge]

Despite not gifting her, I made it exactly

[quasi sigil]

[dusky finch]

Dammit Steven, guess I'll have to wait one more day...

[lucid steppe]

you can only give one gift per interaction right

wait, do you need to give 6 gifts

if you use all 6 interactions

a

silver ditched me at 95%

[quasi sigil]

yes

[lucid steppe]

oh well 95% ditch x 6

he'll get to lvl 30 tomorrow, I hope

[sharp bramble]

Oh wasn’t expecting to be done today. Yay! Back to making Cynthia level 1000. Steven is gonna be my second level 1000.

Also I’m super dumb and did not realize we can redecorate this lol

[void lintel]

It's off to the side and it's smaller than the other posterboards. It's the reason we can buy up to 3 copies of the smaller artworks when the larger ones are limited to 2

[late sluice]

less go

[random cloud]

I should be done with Steven either tomorrow or the day after

Depending on RNG

[unique ledge]

I hope next month is a spotlight or a limited that I have, ive only been able to do cynthia recently since I dont have gloria or steven (and havent gotten N yet either)

Ive just been slowly getting raihan to lvl 1000

[void lintel]

I would speculate it being an Alola trainer.

There are two things that lead me to that idea: the new "EX unlocked without colorswap outfits" paradigm means it might be possible for EX Solgaleo to happen, which means Alola Villain Arc might show up soon.
The second thing is the SSLusamine rerun at the end of this month, lending a bit more weight to the possibility.

Lusamine herself is possible. But maybe it would be a bit weird for her Master Pair to run at a time when it's her regular pair needed for the Lodge

We might also simply see Alolan Neo Champions.
Or both.

Hm. Who was the Alolan Neo Champ evaluator? We can rule that person out for Neo Champ candidacy, at least

[unique ledge]

Why?

[unique ledge]

There wasnt one; lance, steven, cynthia, iris (alder was present as her mentor), diantha, leon, and lear

Tho if it is infact an alola trainer its prob a spotlight or anabel

And its prob too early for an anabel rerun

[void lintel]

"Spend on Lusamine! SIKE, WRONG LUSAMIIIIINE"

It's already weird enough that Steven is doing that exact thing right now

[void lintel]

Then even Hau and Kukui(/Masked Royal) are in the running

[unique ledge]

So far we have;
Rival: Blue, Silver, Marnie, Lillie, N
Female MC: May, Dawn, Rosa, Serena, Gloria
Champion: Steven, Cynthia
Gym leader: Morty, Elesa, Raihan
Professor: Sycamore (tho we dont have many profs)

So Gladion (if they arent doing 4* yet), selene, a trial captain/kahuna maybe, kukui

[void lintel]

Fandom popularity is a big factor, I think. Who of these is most popular, especially in JP?

[unique ledge]

I mean, Serena was added alongside NC Serena, Dawn w NY Dawn, and Steven w SC Steven

[void lintel]

And I hate it

[unique ledge]

Oh and Cynthia/Rosa w SSA/SC

Its prob to add the alt’s picture as well

[void lintel]

I'll protest Rosa because it's not possible to pull for normal Rosa

[unique ledge]

If they dont have it when added it comes later like marnie elesa etc.

[void lintel]

Can't split a whale's wallet on her, at least

[unique ledge]

They do say “Serena & Fennekin” or “Steven & Metagross” etc. tho, so I dont think it’d be confusing

But it may be someone else who gets an alt during the VA since lussa is a rerun

[void lintel]

It's not the confusion but rather the bait&switch that bothers me

[unique ledge]

Wdym? She’s a spotlight so she wont be put in the lodge banner as the featured anyway

[void lintel]

Let me be mad

[unique ledge]

alr

[keen stump]

Grunts everywhere

[sharp bramble]

Moms watching over their babies on a play date

[tiny musk]

i will fill this shelf with steven plushies

unless gladion gets lodge then i will have 3 N, 3 steven, 3 gladion... but thats not guaranteed

[sharp bramble]

I’m aiming to have 5 Cynthias and 4 Stevens

[tiny musk]

i believe in you

[night tide]

She left me at 95 for the 6th time this week

[lucid steppe]

do you guys reset for best hot topic

[carmine sedge]

This is the first time this happened to me

[lucid steppe]

game has been throwing silver hot topic fashion at me

when he literally has 0 +10 pointers

in that topic

three resets and it's either fashion or item

aaa he ditched me at 90%

[brave gulch]

Almost done

[sharp bramble]

Noice

Oh you’re not using Dawn’s other picture?

[lucid steppe]

The dawn of the Dawn fancollection

[brave gulch]

I can

But why not double down on one

I mean I'm alr using it as my loading screen

[tiny musk]

steven being real nice to me im nearly at lv 200 👍 (in before he starts being mean bc i said something)

never got to 0% with any of the characters though... hopefully one day

[sharp bramble]

Oh that reminds me, what spot is the best to interact with Steven?

[night tide]

Is the graphic not up yet?

Ye it’s in the pins

Lodge seems to be his best spot

[tiny musk]

i do wonder why spots to interact with matter
does the location like help with interaction points ?

[thick widget]

each character has a good location(s) which gives the most +10 topics to interact with

[sharp bramble]

Oh didn’t realize it was in the pins thanks

And yeah different locations add different topics

Oh looks like it’s between Lodge or Villa

Lodge has no transition animation while Villa adds more topics of discussion to Others

[grizzled pagoda]

No u can get all the lodge pairs faster than they add new ones so no point in grinding for the best interactions

[lucid steppe]

noted, I was just trying to get silver to 30 asap

and then I got 90%-ed by him

it's the third day in a row that this kind of rng roll has happened to me

serena (90% iirc), silver (95%), silver, (90%)

[random cloud]

Got Lodge Steven today

[quasi sigil]

I'm still level 80ish

[worldly ivy]

@void lintel @lethal marsh please don't make references to NSFW memes

[keen stump]

Hau trying to avoid a shakedown

[mild edge]

Got Serena to 800 today

Road to 1k soon

Assuming I have no new lodge pair next month

[brave gulch]

150 more

[raven badger]

Lillie’s at 97 today…cause left right before I was going to present her. So I guess next reset I get lodge Lillie

[mortal shard]

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

[random portal]

I'm going to dropkick his stones.

[quasi sigil]

level 95 with steven... well at least I'm pretty much guaranteed to get him tomorrow

Unova gang! And even Nate!

[thick widget]

Oh is that a new bonus event?

Havent seen it in my life

[quasi sigil]

I'm pretty sure it's been around for a while

[coral merlin]

I might get a guaranteed Steven tomorrow also unless I get an unlucky attention.

After this I’ll be waiting for the next unit.

[unique ledge]

I just realized rosa is the only one who doesnt have her bag in poma

[thick widget]

Because she was the mascot of the game

Until Lillie took over the role

[naive canopy]

Dammit Dawn. Just needed one more topic for lv100. But nope, ghosts at the last minute. Guess I’m getting her at next reset

Next to level will be Lillie.

[dreamy marsh]

Why would you go over level 100 in the lodge?

[random cloud]

To continue getting lodge stones once you’ve gotten all your available trainers to friendship 100, or just because favoritism

[dreamy marsh]

Ah ok

[coral merlin]

I only go above level 100 if it’s a fave unit that’s in lodge.

[celest sierra]

I'm still about 60 for Steven
And then I'll go back to getting Lillie to 1000 after Steven reaches at least 100 for me

[coral merlin]

I have a long journey to get my N to 1000. My level goal.

[celest sierra]

Idk who to get to 1000 next after Lillie
Thinking Rosa, Cynthia or N

[tiny musk]

steven slowly getting more mean to me. thanks man !!!! (leaves at 6th topic. this time he left at 4th 😭)

[carmine sedge]

Ok just wow

[shut lagoon]

Of course the last interaction is the best one

[celest sierra]

He looks like he's listening to music via airpods

[raven badger]

Surprised I got it off a single. Now I got five interactions to go for a new one

Not bad for my first set

Don’t think anyone’s gotten to 42% for my attempts at this before

The interesting was my last ditch effort of getting into max vibes

[coral merlin]

Stevens done finally, back to the N level grind.

[celest sierra]

Idk what to put in the center yet

[sharp bramble]

I’ve already got it all planned out haha

5 Cynthias make an X while 4 Stevens are at the center of the borders

[celest sierra]

Also, I just remembered that I put both blonde plushes on the top row

[naive canopy]

Wow, Lillie dipped after third topic. 92% attention.

[carmine pilot]

Everyone at 200+

[naive canopy]

What the hell is that screen?!

[void lintel]

Pokémon Masters EX...TEEEENDED

[coral merlin]

Almost looks like a PC version

[daring vigil]

Silver has been so rude today 😭

[celest sierra]

Silver's a tsundere during lodge interactions

[daring vigil]

I mean yeah I know that but he keeps ending our interactions early!

at one point he left right after I got max vibes and we were only on the funny number

i literally just gave him a present too

wasted all my interactions on this guy 😭

[tawny smelt]

how did u get that screen tho

i would kill for a horizontal poma

[carmine pilot]

By rotating the monitor settings
Doing that for many stuff

I use this

[shut lagoon]

First one to 1k

Now onto May

[sharp bramble]

Dammit woman not yet

[celest sierra]

which of those does she like the least? Acting?

[celest sierra]

I'm less than halfway there

[glad acorn]

2 more weeks until next lodge invite. Guess we will be back to Spotlight?

[celest sierra]

Wait, what?
Next lodge invite in two weeks?

[sharp bramble]

Tidying up but the problem is all 3 of those are hobbies

[glad acorn]

It will be 28th. By then, we should have info from the update

[celest sierra]

you could pick the one she likes the least and then hope you get hobbies she really likes during the max vibes

[sharp bramble]

No it’s the very first interaction so I’ll be wasting the free of attention loss if I immediately enter max vibes

On that note you’re better off not picking hot topic ten pointers during max vibes if you can help it

[quiet vortex]

I never like asking questions asked a million times before but searching in this server sucks because everything is threads- so how do you reset a conversation?

the animations have stopped and everything so I can just close the app and get a do over right?

(I'm gunning for fashion or friends which I think are her better ones since she's level 90)

[blazing sapphire]

Yes, you can close the app at the point you would pick an answer

Don't close after you've answered and there are animations

[quiet vortex]

ah okay! tysm

I remembered that being the case but I didn't wanna be wrong lol

Girl why did I even bother she dipped at convo 4

[glad acorn]

That's rng for ya

And yeah, never close the app mid-animation. It's gonna invalid the whole run

[visual remnant]

Isn't that only the case when the run would've ended anyway

Or did someone's interactions get consumed without increasing any friendship

[midnight zephyr]

How do you guys get that x6 multiplier

[unique ledge]

Use all interactions at once

[midnight zephyr]

Oh ok

So its better to do all at once?

[unique ledge]

More or less the same

[midnight zephyr]

Ok then

[unique ledge]

But 6 interactions individually can take a while

[midnight zephyr]

Oh I thought we can only do 3 per day

[unique ledge]

And it depends on ur rng, one day u could get like 12 lvls and another 2

[unique ledge]

U can buy 3 extra as well

[midnight zephyr]

Oh

Lemme check that

[unique ledge]

In the place where u get the items

[midnight zephyr]

Oh wow I didnt even realize that

Thats so helpful

I can only buy 3 per day right

[unique ledge]

Yes

[midnight zephyr]

Awesome

[coral merlin]

I mostly use all interaction in one interaction to get all 6 interactions done quicker.

[glad acorn]

Yeah, this happened during my early tests hence why I added them to my pinned post

[visual remnant]

Lmao rip

[sonic stream]

Are we likely to have a limited unit for lodge next month or have they been alternating?

[sharp solar]

We can't predict such things. At least, yet.

[coral merlin]

Most likely Alola I’m guessing

Cause Lillie the only Alola lodge

[unique ledge]

Same, I havent been able to do a new character anyway in the past 2 months since im missing steven and gloria

I did get cynthia tho so I was able to do her, but an alola spotlight would be nice for next month

[coral merlin]

Raihan the only one I’m missing so I’m waiting for new general pool characters for lodge also. (Don’t care if I miss raihan)

Smell you later Blue. It’s Steven turn

[tawny smelt]

can someone give an example of what expedition team a and expedition team b

like what sync pairs u guys use

pls dont show me the pins just tell me

[sharp solar]

What's wrong with the pins?

[tawny smelt]

i dont understand them

just give me examples of sync pairs u guys use in ur team a and team b and ill use them

[sharp solar]

Okay, have you opened the doc with team recommendations?

[tawny smelt]

yes

still dont understand

[sharp solar]

Don't understand what, exactly?

[tawny smelt]

what teams to use

[sharp solar]

Open 6 slot teams -> copy the team you have

[tawny smelt]

ok so currently im using:
Team A:

1. SST Red
2. Ash
3. Misty

Team B:

1. Hilbert
2. Rosa
3. SS Elesa

but im not getting that great rewards for the past few weeks

[sharp solar]

Oh, you only have three slots? You need to buy more

[tawny smelt]

oh

ok

[sharp solar]

Open the lodge shop and look for it

[tawny smelt]

gotcha

thnx

[sharp solar]

Then open pinned doc and see 3-4 slot recommended teams

[tawny smelt]

got it

Is there a reason to level up characters beyond level 100? I have all my lodge units at level 100 and I’ve been slowly getting them all to 200, but I feel like I might as well just pick a couple favs and focus on them instead of grinding everyone up because it doesn’t seem like there’s any reward for levelling everyone beyond 100

[sharp solar]

You get lodge stones, that's it.
Picking a fave is a good idea, you'll stick with them for a long time

[glad acorn]

It appears he's still starting hence he doesn't understand how someone can put in 6 pairs per team

[sharp bramble]

Past level 100 the only rewards are lodge stones. That said, every few hundred levels the invitation border of the character changes until the max at 1,000

[unique ledge]

After lvl 100 they are all the same, just 10 lodge stones per lvl

[glad acorn]

You go past 100 when you have no other pairs to get to 100 since that's the only way you can get more lodge stones

[void lintel]

...Just in case, maybe we should also point out what Lodge Stones are good for

They're the only renewable way (and up until last week, the only way at all) to obtain Certificates of Excellence, the item required to raise a sync pair's level cap from 140 to 150.
If you're new, you may not have 4star candies to serve as dupes. You can spend Lodge Stones on dupe copies of the FriendLv100-unlocked bonus sync pairs, to open their grids.
If you're new and desperate for more s, you can straightup buy those too. Nowadays there are quite a few great freebies and low-rarity pairs, but they require their grids to function.

[keen stump]

Thats a funny duo

[sharp bramble]

Out on a double date

[celest sierra]

Lemme guess
Cynthia and Steven

[sharp bramble]

… what

No the cows

[lucid steppe]

technically bouffalant is a buffalo right

but eh technicalities

[celest sierra]

I just looked it up just to make sure
Miltank and Bouffalant can breed

[lucid steppe]

same game where wailord and skitty are in the same egg group

I'm not surprised

[tiny musk]

200/1000.... im rlly in it now

[lucid steppe]

gold gifts are very hard to use, aren't they?

you need to go to ~70% to maximize the gains

but getting to ~70% in the first place is already iffy

[blazing sapphire]

I always use at 80%

[lucid steppe]

Noted

Syca ditched me at 90% today

[carmine sedge]

[celest sierra]

Lillie stopped at above 80% for me today

[sharp bramble]

Woo finally done with Cynthia at Rainbow level 1000! Working on Steven 1k now.

[naive canopy]

TIL lodge pairs can dip after Max Vibes phase. I had planned to toss Lillie a gift after I was at topic 8 at the end of vibes and she dipped.
I always thought they stayed for a topic after the vibe phase.

[blazing sapphire]

Nah, they can always leave

[naive canopy]

Bout to put glue on the interaction spot smh

I just want the funny flower crown of doom.

[maiden haven]

wonder who will be next, i kinda have no predictions

or maybe hmm... Guzma?

Selene or Guzma sound likely

at least if it's Alola it won't be a pokefair

[coral merlin]

We know it’s definitely Alola, but MC could be getting SS so… maybe Kiawe or something

[maiden haven]

but MC getting SS would mean they get lodge + new frame

that gives peeps some additional incentive to pull

[coral merlin]

We haven’t had a general pool that unlocks their lodge unit in a while so… anything is possible

[maiden haven]

Pokemon Masters Trainer Lodge: Anything is possible

[void lintel]

It's because Max Vibes does everything two times (doubles score, nulls attention cost, prevents convo from dropping) but not fully overlapping.
The two dropout protections are the transition into Max Vibes, and between the two turns of Max Vibes

[sharp bramble]

That’s two days in a row dude

[lucid steppe]

...Sycamore ditched me at 80%

After a gold gift

Aaaaaaa

Where's my lodge sycamore

This is somehow worse than yesterday's results where I used silver gifts

[visual remnant]

Ironic you're complaining about Sycamore ignoring you when you are ignoring 88 new messages from 32 chats

[lucid steppe]

it's all spams

[visual remnant]

Are we the spams to Lodge trainers?

"Ughhhhh this guy wants to talk about hairstyles AGAIN"

[lucid steppe]

...huh

[unique ledge]

Not like the MCs know anything else about fashion clothing customization when

[lucid steppe]

no wonder they try to flee on very inopportune times

[lucid steppe]

lmao even the hat customization is already Too Much Fashion

[lucid steppe]

reminds me of a reddit post where someone's like "man my favs stopped becoming my favs because they kept dropping me at 90% so it felt like they hated talking to me so I began to hate talking to them"

[quasi sigil]

My feelings toward Lillie really went from indifference to utter dislike after lodge ngl

[lucid steppe]

personally I see lodge as more of a very surface exploration of their likes and interests

it's ultimately just rng rolls

but it's interesting to see sycamore is friends with cynthia

[random cloud]

Iirc in X & Y he mentions that he studied under Professor Rowan in the Sinnoh region at some point

So it would make sense

[lucid steppe]

yeah see this is the kind of thing I get/value from lodge personally

"oh he likes sinnoh, I see"

[void lintel]

Another fun example is that Cynthia has been to Unova (she's friends with Caitlin and stays over at her house sometimes), but the local cuisine was not actually to her taste.

So The Unova Region is worth 10pts to her, but Casteliacones is only worth 5pts to her

[lucid steppe]

yeah it's the implicit characterization

also undella town villa flashbacks

every champion has some random villa in some random other region apparently

or at least two champions do

wait is the sinnoh villa owned by a champion not named cynthia (excluding DPPt MC)

[void lintel]

I only played B/W1 so I didn't experience it personally.
But I'm told that quite a few B/W2 players nearly had heart attacks when they walked into that house, met eyes with Cynthia, saw the telltale [!] over her head announcing a trainer battle, and the ominous piano music started playing...

[lucid steppe]

my childhood memory suggests it's steven's

but unclear if true

[void lintel]

Geologist and Archaeologist, huh

[quasi sigil]

It was steven I think?

[lucid steppe]

great, I now love the free villa

[void lintel]

Steven, hobby geologist
🤝 Digging around in the ground looking for treasure
Cynthia, professional archaeologist

[lucid steppe]

yeah

oh yeah sinnoh underground minigame!

no wonder steven has a villa in sinnoh

[void lintel]

It makes perfect sense

[lucid steppe]

oh!!!!

see this is why I love pomas giving more characterization to NPCs

[void lintel]

It's a shame they barely know each other. They're not on each other's lodge topic lists

Cynthia has a bit of a newfound rivalry with Lance in PMEX... It is tragic that he's not on her Lodge list either

[lucid steppe]

one day they'll meet in a rock-collecting conference

I'm actually surprised lance is on sycamore's friend topic

[void lintel]

Maybe they met when Sycamore went to go get some Kanto starters

Ah, found the Lance/Cynthia event

https://youtu.be/96-XHc3tl7I

The original run was much earlier, before the game rebranded itself with the EX in the title. But the story is the same in the rerun

[lucid steppe]

I guess they both have dragons as aces

[void lintel]

The payoff scene is at around 7:45, but it doesn't quite have the same impact if you don't watch all the buildup scenes first

[lucid steppe]

ofc

the events in Pomas is very hit or miss is it

[void lintel]

This is exactly what the event is about

(There was an ulterior motive for the event's original run: in order to release Cynthia, the first Ground-type that isn't terrible, to combat ground-weak Solgaleo. But the scenes were still satisfying)

[lucid steppe]

yeah that's why I said it's a guess

glad to know it was accurate

fun

any other events I should read up/watch?

[void lintel]

N's arrival, The Ideal Formula, might be worth it

Hilbert dearly missed his bromantic interest

https://youtu.be/pfrkw-ntE-c

[lucid steppe]

noted

are any of the steven events well written?

[void lintel]

His debut event... I only remember that it included Wallace long before Wallace himself was released.
The first summer event had Steven in it, but it was just silly fun rather than meaningful characterization-building
The most significant thing he did, was in the Hoenn villain arc, but you can watch that whenever you want from the Main Story menu
He also had a minor role in A Pasio Spectacle, which was silly fun again about eyewear.

[quasi sigil]

the detective one

[void lintel]

If he were a better geologist, he'd have licked that ice shard to make sure it wasn't just really cold halite or something

The detective event is the second time Lyra and Steven have both starred in an event together (the first being the aforementioned Summer event). Lyra's affinity for music is mentioned in the current event and was a focus of the Summer one (she and Ethan both have musical names; she's named after the lyre, and he is named after a Biblical musician)

[lucid steppe]

makes sense actually

[lucid steppe]

to be perfectly fair to him, his stoutland just licked it/put it in its mouth

and he didn't want to end up in the hospital, probably

[lucid steppe]

space blocked by deoxys

what a sad story

[sharp bramble]

Man that talk about spam got me thinking about what the lodge characters think of our conversations lol

Whoah

First time I saw him go past 70%

[tiny musk]

wondering how yall keep your insanity in tact while aiming for 1000

im already losing my mind (yes this interaction is good im just losing my mind without the good rewards)

[carmine sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/f-bi-raid-swat-gif-11500735

[naive canopy]

By far the best interaction with a lodge character I’ve had since I started playing. ||Now she’s going to keep ditching early so I won’t reach level cap for a few more days||

Never had a character that went past 11 topics

[celest swallow]

I don't know how anyone can get a good amount of 2 and 3* crystals for level caps and decorations.
I think I'm out of level caps.

[carmine pilot]

With two teams at 10/10 you should have no issue collecting them

Sure the fact that for easter we didn't get a soecial area sucks

[void lintel]

By compressing them into one minigame per day, just to get them over with

[sharp bramble]

God I really want a third area so bad

I wanna buy the plushies

[void lintel]

Next likely time will be summer, since that's the next time we have a redecorated area

(The beach party)

I don't think Palentine or Spring events redecorate any place on the island

[coral merlin]

Wait, we had a summer one?

[unique ledge]

We’ve only had fall and winter 2022 and NY 2023 iirc

Maybe just fall 2022 and ny 2023, we may not have had a winter 2022 one

[coral merlin]

I didn’t read the message correctly I thought we had a summer one.

[void lintel]

Lodge wasn't open yet last summer

We will probably have a summer expedition team since the special expedition teams are linked to "a section of Pasio is currently redecorated for a seasonal event" so far

[pearl hull]

woah my first 0%

[sharp bramble]

Congrats

I still haven’t gotten it yet

[quiet vortex]

Holy crap

[unique ledge]

First 400

If I only invested in him I prob could have him at a higher lvl and cap but oh well

i want candy coins

[quasi sigil]

🪙

[spiral cosmos]

that's n-mazing, nov

[spiral cosmos]

skill issue

[quasi sigil]

you don't show enough love

maybe decorate your lodge with plushies and posters to make a shrine or something

[thick widget]

im poor

[quasi sigil]

felt that

actually I don't own a single N memorabilia

all my red crystals go to blue and silver plushies

[lucid steppe]

So really N is trying to bribe his way into your lodge plushie shelf

He's trying to solve it like a mathematical equation

"If I give you a coin you'd be more appreciative of me right"

[spiral cosmos]

i've actually haven't bought any decoration since the day it released

need those resources for more certificates

[quasi sigil]

wow

I splurged on them

[quasi sigil]

maybe give me more coins first N

for example, Silver has given me three

[sharp bramble]

I got 2 coins but not yellow. The rest are trash like extracts and date items lol

[unique ledge]

Do u mean buying the interaction items and gifts or?

[lucid steppe]

and he hasn't earned a spot in your shelf?

[lucid steppe]

no, you can decor the shelves

with dolls etc

[unique ledge]

Yeah but unless they mean using items to get a higher lvl faster certificates and lodge decor use dif currency

[quasi sigil]

He has earned himself a plush and his rainbow wing, plus the artwork

[raven badger]

I guess I’m enduring some single interactions tomorrow

[unique ledge]

Maybe u could do 3 and 3?

[paper steeple]

is there a guide on who to put in expeditions

[celest sierra]

It seems like most of my best interactions end after the 13th topic
How Ironic

[blazing sapphire]

There
's a document by Maelmc in the pins

[paper steeple]

how are you meant to get 10 rare cache and 5 in 2 others

getting 10 rare cache alone takes up 5/6 slots

[lucid steppe]

The bastard left me at 90%

[thick widget]

there are suggested teams in the doc pinned here

[paper steeple]

i got it thanks

[thick widget]

no need to ping

[paper steeple]

sorry

[naive canopy]

Pain.

I did three singles and then did a bulk interaction with the exchange ones

[rain belfry]

Literally a single chat interaction away from 100

[sharp bramble]

Oof

Been there

[north moat]

N CAN I PLEASE HAVE AN OMNI COIN?

I am literally at 19, I need this

[lucid steppe]

Your chance of getting one tomorrow is half the chance of a MF single yolo

To be fair, it's a 365 per year pull, so perhaps...

[ashen wasp]

it happens, I've gotten 3 move coins so far, but it's definitely not a reliable source

[formal forge]

Have there been any notable Expedition pairs that have been released lately? I know that C-Bede gives +3 Blue

[night tide]

A

[void lintel]

The Galar Neo-Champs give +3/-1 according to their respective class roles

Ball Guy... he's typeless, so that probably means +2 blue

Special Costume pairs tend to be typeless too

[thick widget]

Oh yeah i have seen someone making a 10 blue/10 chest team with CBede

But i cant find it here

[void lintel]

I'm guessing it's these five, an off-region +2 Rare, and Omni Extract in Team B

[thick widget]

My girl has such a cool expedition skill

[raven badger]

Almost forgot to do lodge today cause of my monitors being prob ruined by the move…

[real gust]

Is Certificate of Excellence the obvious choice of purchase with lodge stones?

[thick widget]

Not really. 4* lodge support dupes and sync orbs are higher priorities

[sharp bramble]

Man, it’s been so long since my days of 99,999 I forget how low our orb income rate is lol

[quasi sigil]

I'm living the 99k days

And no new pairs to grid

[unique ledge]

I have uh 60 pairs to grid and counting

Tho im just doing the 5s (17), ill do the 4s once I upgrade them

[sharp bramble]

Sometimes I’m tempted to pull because the exclamation mark ❗️ is annoying me with the sync orb I can’t claim lol

[maiden haven]

is the team suggestion doc still updated?

i need 2 red teams to buy plushies

and we didnt have a 3rd team for a long time now too

ah, im missing units for Team A Red

[unique ledge]

Is it possible to reach 10 red/blue/yellow and 10 caches without extracts/cheer?

[maiden haven]

dont think so

you always need at least extract

im trying to aim no cheer because it's unreliable

and extract well.. used to care, now i got bored, they really need to allow us to extend these, it's the opposite of engaging (annoying)

LuSSa is too good for lodge

[unique ledge]

Ill just try to aim for 9/9 or 8/10 then

[maiden haven]

but I don't want to scout MF unit just for something this stupid

just remember 8/10 is harder than 10/8 usually

[unique ledge]

Im planning to scout her once she arrives, so hopefully she comes and I can add her to my expeditions

But I have SSRC and SS Gio which r also pretty good for lodge iirc

[maiden haven]

they are

i hope we get some new candidates in Alola VA!

+3 rare would be nice with a cool unit

[unique ledge]

Yeah either way is fine, I have a lot of potions and coins anyway

[unique ledge]

Luckily MR is gen pool

[maiden haven]

Alola is a red team though

and he has -2 red

[unique ledge]

True

[maiden haven]

unless we get something like chikin alt with diff color boost

then it will be really good

[unique ledge]

What color is each region? I assume sinnoh is yellow due to lucas and SSRC

[quasi sigil]

It's not region-dependent

[maiden haven]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pCUEakjQ75T5hQ66eq6EO7eoCS04rt7rUoECZZI_ebk/edit#gid=137913951

[quasi sigil]

It's based on trainer class usually

[maiden haven]

there are unique bonuses though

they gave to characters randomly

[thick widget]

Not randomly

[quasi sigil]

The ones that can give multiple levels of a color depending on how many sync pairs from the same region, right?

[thick widget]

Most of them are based on trainer class like nov said

[unique ledge]

Caches seem random

[maiden haven]

caches are mostly on villains

and rivals

[quasi sigil]

Caches generally for villains and rivals

The rest I never really notice

[unique ledge]

Ah

[thick widget]

SSR Cynthia is a villain confirmed?

[quasi sigil]

Foreshadowing Volo, might as well go all in

[lucid steppe]

Glances at her ancestor(?)

[thick widget]

[unique ledge]

I joined when I first saw her bcz I was wondering how cynthia became evil

[lucid steppe]

To be fair, red, black is villain color scheme traditionally

[thick widget]

Remember when absol the dataminer assumed that was her alter ego because of her SS being called Another in Japanese? Good time

[maiden haven]

when did we even get a new unit that was good for lodge

none since release, right?

[unique ledge]

And its based on giratina who looks pretty evil

[lucid steppe]

Tried teaming up with volo to end the world

[unique ledge]

I dont think we have

[quasi sigil]

Why would a unit be good for lodge when it's not a battle mode if anything, their expedition skills are predetermined by theme skills

[thick widget]

CBede was a good one, thanks to him another 10 blue chest team is made

[lucid steppe]

That's what cyrus tried to do and it landed him in the villain category

[unique ledge]

Oh rlly? is the team in the doc?

[quasi sigil]

Devs can't suddenly say "hey let's make a unit have a very stacked expedition skill despite the usual norms"

[thick widget]

Praise Bede

[lucid steppe]

So giratina should also be in (former) villain category

[maiden haven]

they could make a +3 rare one though...

[thick widget]

Not yet

[lucid steppe]

Lodge p2w imagine

[unique ledge]

no summarnie gloria or anni steven

[thick widget]

Anni Steven is just a filler

A +2 chest filler

[maiden haven]

no need to p2win, but they could let us get 10/x/x/10 for every combination

without cheer at least

some more alternatives for better chars

look in how many compositions LuSSa is now

[unique ledge]

Oh

[sharp solar]

Just wait for a villain/etc theme skill to roll around

[maiden haven]

...and then +2 or Champion because Neo Champion

[unique ledge]

So prob rose

Lusamine and guzma dont seem like villains anymore

[sharp solar]

Welp, can't have +3s too often. Anyway, no point in complaining to anyone other than DeNa.

[maiden haven]

another Giovanni so we can't stack

[lucid steppe]

pull for lussa cause she (used to be) the OP sync pair ❎
pull for lussa cause lodge ☑️

[unique ledge]

Are base and classic giovanni good for lodge?

[thick widget]

What are their skill again?

[quasi sigil]

Then probably the issue lies in how few villains (and by extension, their alts) there are

Or just pray for more rival alts

[maiden haven]

we have rival alts

but they made them champion

[quasi sigil]

I always run giovanni in my kanto red+cache team

[thick widget]

Let them achieve their dream smh

[unique ledge]

2 caches -1 blue and yellow for gio and 2 caches -1 red and yellow for cgio

[quasi sigil]

What expedition skill does champion have anyway

[maiden haven]

+3 stat

no wait, that was E4

[thick widget]

Good for red Kanto team i guess?

[keen stump]

Big bug, small bug

[zenith niche]

Reached 200

[raven badger]

I ran out of favorites to level to 100. Did dawn blue Lillie Serena so far

Blue was a non fav but worth for the support

Idk if I should just do Gloria or pick something meta related next…

[unique ledge]

The lodge pairs are good but I dont think any are super meta, like every meta pair is a limited 5*

[thick widget]

There is meta in this game?

[spiral cosmos]

Just do it in whatever order for the resources

[coral merlin]

I mean, do you have a fave lodge unit you want to do? You can go above 100.

[sharp bramble]

There is.

Pull for every unit in the game so your LG streak can go even longer

[severe river]

Variety Lorelei is meta

[sharp bramble]

I thought she is for LG?

Though honestly I didn’t bother reading their kits lol

[thick widget]

She can solo a few LA at 1/5

[severe river]

That’s what i meant

[spiral cosmos]

That’s a bait comment

[thick widget]

[celest swallow]

Oh wow, reached 0% after struggling for several days just to give Gloria silver tier gifts.

[raven badger]

Not bad for day 1 of Gloria.

How do daily gifts work like what levels are milestones for the daily gifts

Heard level effects them

[void lintel]

Lv30+ gets you the best possible pool of daily gifts

The guest who stands next to the expedition console is the one who will have the daily gift for you; usually this will be the guest whom you most recently spent an Interaction on.

...You can also just kick out anyone below 30, talk to whomever now has a gift for you, and reinvite them after

So... Tomorrow, Gloria will have a gift for you, but you can kick her out of the Lodge just long enough to get your daily gift from someone else, and then reinvite her

[shut lagoon]

Forgot to increase cap

[vestal kraken]

Dawn was feeling generous today!

[tawny smelt]

DAAAAAAAAAAAYM

i keep getting omni extracts

[coral merlin]

N gave me the same coin as well.

[lucid steppe]

You guys are getting yellow coins???

[naive canopy]

You guys get coins?!

[unique ledge]

Iirc ive only gotten a tech coin from marnie

[coral merlin]

You get coins at level 30+ in any lodge pair

[void lintel]

I just got 60,000 coins and they are yellow

They might be a different kind of coin though

[sharp bramble]

Only 2 coins my entire lodge career. None of them yellow

[void lintel]

Considering how low the rate is, that... might be normal, tbh

[carmine sedge]

I had a good interaction with Dawn today using my items, but she dropped me at 75% on the 11th topic

[lucid steppe]

You're lucky you get to 11 interactions

My average item interaction ends at 8 topics

[carmine sedge]

Also, Dawn gave me my 1st or 2nd 0% ever, but it was only a 1x interaction without an item so it kinda wasn't important to flex

[thick widget]

I havent seen a bonus event for ages

[lucid steppe]

Viola taking photos of everyone

[lucid steppe]

hmm

[paper steeple]

whats the best thing to buy from the shop i have been buying duplicate sync pairs

[thick widget]

sync orbs (if you are lacking those) and lodge support dupes

[unique ledge]

Certificates arent recommended? I assumed they would be since u cant get them anywhere else (outside of pasio CS)

[severe river]

If you’ve been playing for a long enough time such that you have a good amount of 4* candy and sync orbs, you can get certificates

[severe river]

Level 150 has a small impact on things. It’s good, but for a new player sync orbs and 4* candy are highly in demand

[unique ledge]

Ah true

[coral merlin]

And besides, people will probably use them if there’s a fav unit they want to 150.

[mossy schooner]

Where do i get stuff for interaction count, and is it worth getting it?

[thick widget]

you get 3 additional interaction counts daily in the lodge exchange

check the pins for more guide

[mossy schooner]

Yea im asking about how to get the stuff to exchange in the lodge exchange

[thick widget]

you have to build expedition teams

first, unlock all 6 slots in the team

[mossy schooner]

Is it in the rare caches?

Nevermind, found it

Finally done with the decorations and Morty's rainbow border! Now to resume the Lv 1000 goal for Elesa

Glad its not a limited

But its smb else I have to add to my long EX list of holo foils/music keys (after any pair I plan to use alot)

[pallid ruin]

Hell yeah Acerola

[celest sierra]

I think I know who I'm getting to 1000 after Lillie

[formal forge]

I have 10 red / 10 chest and 10 blue / 10 chest. This used to be enough to sustain 6 silver gifts a day, but lately I feel like I’ve been netting negative. Has this happened for anyone else?

[sharp bramble]

I’m definitely feeling the burn thanks to decorations which is why I do double red now

Err double red and chest I mean

I really need the third area to open up again man

[celest sierra]

Well
Guess I'm getting an Acerola plush for Lodge

[formal forge]

Because there are more Red decorations than other decorations?

[sharp bramble]

Oh nah it’s because I want to buy it lol

[raven badger]

do we know the lodge acerola pokemon yet? i assume we do but havent spotted it yet

nvm, found it

banette, support. alright... x atk all... evasion... crit...

yeah ill go with her after gloria probs

[coral merlin]

Gonna wait on which date she drops before I stop leveling up N so can save interactions.

[quasi sigil]

thank you for giving my yellow crystals a purpose, dena

[coral merlin]

Oh it’s yellow? Good because I’m dry on blue.

[quasi sigil]

her base is a tech so it's yellow

i'm dry on red

[sharp solar]

It's based on the role of the base unit

[quasi sigil]

these past few months weren't kind to my red crystal stock

[coral merlin]

Oh right I forgot.

So until the chests becomes full, I’ll have to reset lodge multiple times to find the correct hot topic since I’ll be stuck with ???

[lucid steppe]

hmm, they should update the +3and 4 command

[sharp solar]

If you want to reset, sure. But it's not that big of a deal

[coral merlin]

Ya. I’m not on a rush to max out N.

So technically it’s fine without going for the right topic.

[thick widget]

expedition skill of new units

[keen stump]

Lodge next month is acerola right?

[carmine sedge]

Yes

[brave gulch]

So many ⬆️ 3

[mortal turtle]

One question, the variety (Lance and Bruno) they are Johto or Kanto??

[rain belfry]

Both appear to be Kanto

[hollow kiln]

Which Pokémon lodge Acerola will pair up with?

[rain belfry]

Banette

[formal forge]

All these +3 Wistful might mean it’s finally possible to get 10 blue / 10 chest with Omni boost?

[brave gulch]

2 teams can achieve that before this honestly

[formal forge]

With Omni boost? So far I’ve only seen it possible with Rare boost

[thick widget]

Actually 3 teams

[mortal turtle]

Without cheers? I know of 2 (with 5 Galar or 6 Kalos) but only on the team B (+1 blue/chest). I don't think we can have 10 blue + 10 chest with 2 teams together in A and B with omni and without cheers

What is the 3rd one?

[thick widget]

oh my bad, i thought the Alola + KriSS team used omni extract

yeah so only 2 teams

[sharp bramble]

800 more to go

[raven badger]

ended out with a 10 batch cause i didnt finish yesterdays interactions

[tiny musk]

700 more

[mossy schooner]

Is there any reward beyond lvl 100?

[blazing sapphire]

Just more lodge stones

[carmine sedge]

Just lodge stones

[mossy schooner]

I'll get everyone to 100 before picking out favorites then

[carmine sedge]

That's pretty much how you do it

[mossy schooner]

The ones i can anyways, dont have all of the trainers unlocked

[vestal kraken]

Will acerola use blue items?

[thick widget]

The OG version is tech so she uses yellow items

[vestal kraken]

Uh oh

Guess it's time to make a yellow team.

Do we have a way to get 10 yellow and 10 chest?

[wary wasp]

🙌

[vestal kraken]

I use blue and red teams....

[thick widget]

check this doc

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pCUEakjQ75T5hQ66eq6EO7eoCS04rt7rUoECZZI_ebk/edit#gid=0

its pinned here

[vestal kraken]

Thanks

Should I drop blue or red teams?

[thick widget]

depends on your needs

[vestal kraken]

I mean everyone is over 100 at this point and I have all lodge pairs.

[thick widget]

well you can drop either

it doesnt hurt

unless you are saving for some decorations

[vestal kraken]

Not really anything in particular

I just blow excess when I'm at or near cap on the stuff

[mortal turtle]

I prefer to make my own teams, because it always depends on the pairs you have, from my calculations, it's possible to make one 10 yellow and 10 chest and another with 9 yellow and 10 chest with omni buff, if want to use rare or the soothing extract, it'll be possible to make 2 teams of 10 yellow and 10 chests

but to make those teams you need pairs like James (I wish I had him and that they rerun the event) or/and SSR Cynthia

maybe with soothing/rare extract you won't need them, but need to plan with the pairs you have

[unique ledge]

Due to my lack of lucas atm, I cant rlly make any of the yellow teams, any suggestions?

Lemme send my blue and red teams as well

[raven badger]

Is this fine for red team? Or would I want chests naturally 10 before item

[unique ledge]

Use omni

Apparently its harder to get 10 chests than 10 color

[raven badger]

Struggling to find a blue team that works.

Is this ok for blue or

Really wish a team C existed at least for just saving a preset to

[vestal kraken]

I have James and ssr Cynthia.

[minor kayak]

Would you consider this good or bad luck?

(No items used)

[mortal turtle]

Then do it like one of this:

First is Team A and second is Team B

the red is what I'm missing or what's missing for 10/10 (example if we have a new sinnoh or kanto 0 yellow 2 chests, we would have 2 teams 10/10)

[vestal kraken]

Thanks

[slender hull]

I really like this art of Sc Steven

[night tide]

wow 5/5 steve

n

[sharp bramble]

Dang 5/5

[slender hull]

Yes sir

[carmine pilot]

Why are you not using items?

Even the cheap ones are useful

I think you should really read how TL works
You're not even triggering max vibe
Just

[sharp bramble]

Godawful luck. No present multiplier

[minor kayak]

I'm really not needing to use them much right now- I've reached lv100 with all bar Steven (0/5)...

I'm not really struggling with many battles either...

I 'm just doing it for the gems at this point...

[severe river]

You’d get more certificates if you used the items
It literally only costs in lodge currency, there’s pretty much no reason not to

[carmine pilot]

Just to explain what your score meant, 150 it's an average run
I usually have that when closing convos at 80-70%
Reaching 0% is very rare and you could have pushed to 400 (single score)

Like this

Sure if you're clearing your monthly lodge pairs is fine
But you can get way more lodge stones

[mossy schooner]

Should i focus expeditions after unlocking the 3 extra slots? The caches right?

[severe river]

Yup, try to get level 10 chest in both teams and as high a level as possible for the colour that matches the sync pair you’re currently befriending

[mossy schooner]

Wdym the colour that matches the sync pair im currently befriending?

[quasi sigil]

each sync pair uses different crystals for their gifts

strikes use the red crystals, techs use yellow crystals, supports use blue

so match the color on your expedition team so you can buy gifts for the character you're doing lodge interactions with

[mossy schooner]

I see, thanks

[tiny musk]

they

[lethal marsh]

Is this a new bonus event?

[lucid steppe]

can you get bonus events from pairs you don't own?

[lethal marsh]

Yes, you can

There are even bonus events of sync pairs that aren't playable yet

[lucid steppe]

poor tabitha.

[lethal marsh]

I hope he will be playable as soon as possible

[daring vigil]

you went from 191 to 200?!
