I'm confused by this spreadsheet. Who goes on Team A and who goes on Team B?

Of course theres one pair for the team i need (yellow + cache) that I dont have BrycenOTL

Yeah i reworked my expeditions a few weeks ago and last time i was able to get to level 5 or 6 for yellow

Oh and idt u can reach 10 chest/a color without a potion LarryDead

What’s shauna’s expedition skill?

thick widget
#

she boosts +2 rare and drops -2 yellow iirc

#

she is needed for Kalos blue + chest team if you dont have SS Lysandre

brave gulch
#

Just to add onto this, SS Lysandre cannot fully replace Shauna in kalos blue + chest team because he has -1 wistful

#

Only real replacement is SC Shauna

sudden forum
#

Hmm seems like I neglected to mention her in the Kalos teams.

#

This will give 0/0/9/9, just need an omni for 1/1/10/10.

wait if i use SC Shauna in that team who do i replace OG Shauna RosaThink

Got a pretty above-average interaction with Irida today

Irida can’t stand me

It is a little disturbing that her default expression is a frown, and she returns to it after each animation

Frowns, laughs, frowns again

Smiling takes up space

#

Dunno why it’s disturbing

#

Some people’s default face is frowning or neutral

#

Not everyone defaults to smile

void lintel
#

Irida be like

#

It's not just that the default is frowning; it's that she smiles every time you say something and then immediately returns to frowning

Even Silver's default frown is less discomforting

Most of prefer the Lodge, Silver notably prefers the Villa. May is decent at the road but Lodge is still better for her. Irida likes the Winter place but that's only available for 15 days a year if that.

His JP name resembles that type of drum. Daigo, Taiko. I think that might even be the reason he was paired with Lyra ("Lyre" in EN, "__Koto__ne" in JP) for the music-themed summer event where he debuted

I just looked at the trainers lodge guide image for Lillie and I'm not sure if I understand this right but, do different areas provide different benefits to the interaction?

waxen bolt
#

they add different topics

#

but just do tl

#

its fastest because theres no downtime and the extra topics are hardly worth it

high sequoia
#

What does this mean?

#

That trainers lodge is the best place?

waxen bolt
#

essentially yes

#

trainer lodge is the best for basically everyone

high sequoia
#

ok thanks

void lintel
#

I think there may be one or two characters who prefer the Battle Villa (noted here as location number 8)

#

Raihan is one of them. Silver also has more total points available if you go to the Villa, though his infograph marks the Lodge with the gold medal for some reason

high sequoia
#

Follow up question, is it advised to use all interactions at once? The way I see it using all interactions has the highest potential for large gains, but it's also much riskier because they might end the interaction at 90% and you end the day +50 xp

waxen bolt
#

its faster

high sequoia

that too

# high sequoia Who has the best photo in the trainer lodge?

I'm just amused that there's a photo for Pryce's story chapter. Sometimes we get someone in the help channels who hates using characters they don't like, and... The whole point of that chapter is "you have to be able to work with people you don't like"

before I go and throw away an interaction, is it still possible to reset and retry before they end the interaction?

As in, close the game, and try again without using an interaction or your items?

void lintel
# severe river Just wait for the sprint train

At first I wondered how that'd even work in lodge. Then I remembered that only the base version of each trainer gets in, so a Sprint alt wouldn't be a problem.
...Then I remembered Nemona's base is a Sprint, and she's a fan-favorite, so... we have a problem all over again CyrusSweat

#

I think I can get behind the concept of adding more class roles, but... it kinda conflicts with how much the game's design revolves around there being exactly three.

random cloud
#

They could just have Sprint use Yellow and Field use Blue for Lodge since technically Strike is made up of 2 roles

late sluice
#

They both have the same EX effect in an AOE sync though

#

So I think its a bit of a stretch

random cloud
#

I mean, fair, but they’re not required to add new colors, is my point

late sluice
#

True

#

Let's just hope thats what they do instead of adding brand new colors

#

That'd be hell

void lintel
#

Or they can get really weird and change some existing techs to fields. But I think the datamine would've shown that happening if that were the plan

#

Like... I'd prefer the Field EX effect instead of the Tech EX effect for a lot of them

how do u carry extra interactions over to the next day??? I want more than the daily 6 for calem SabrinaPray

coral merlin
#

All I did was do 1 interaction each day and that’s it. But I can’t go beyond 10 otherwise it resets I think so now I’m at 9. So once this reset comes, I be at 12 interactions since I’ll have to use all 9 and then buy the 3 interactions in the shop.

#

So all you have to do is buy the 3 interactions and do 1 per day or do none but risk losing the daily gems.

Ive never done it before, im just assuming u start ur interactions 1 one minute before reset (e.g if reset is at 9 for u start at 8:59)

sudden forum
#

I don’t think you can, cause it resets the convo

void lintel
# marble yacht does anyone have a video of how it works

Step 1: spend one or more Interactions to begin a conversation
Step 2: wait for the topics to appear, and then close the app without picking one (though you can pick up to two topics safely, the progress will be undone anyway so don't bother)
Step 3: reopen the app and return to the Trainer Lodge. You will be refunded the interaction(s) you spent initiating the now-canceled conversation.

The trick is that... If you Use All Interactions, all of them will be refunded at once. Aaaaand if daily reset happens between starting the convo and receiving this refund... you will be given your 3 daily Interactions plus your refund

#

This allows you to "carry over" interactions from one day to another

#

This does not gain you extra levels per day, it just gives a little flexibility on when you spend them.

marble yacht
#

Woah

void lintel
#

I'll tell you what I did for the past few days, as an example case.

marble yacht
#

So technically I can get like 3 extra

void lintel
#

No.

#

You can delay today's convos until tomorrow.

#

While still getting tomorrow's three interacts

marble yacht
#

Oh

void lintel
#

From mid July to July 29: I just did 6 interacts each day like normal.
July 30th: I bought one of the three daily shop interacts. Spent four interacts in one convo (the one from the shop and the three from daily login). Bought the other two. Started a convo using both of these interacts, and then quit the game.
July 31: I return to the lodge. I get 3 interacts from logging in, plus two refunded from yesterday, for five interacts in my "inventory" plus three more in the shop. I buy the three from the shop, use one interact for the daily mission, then start another convo with the other seven. I quit the game without finishing it.
Aug 1st: Calem arrives to the Lodge. I receive 3 interacts for logging in. I am refunded my 7 interacts from the convo I didn't complete yesterday. I now have 10 interacts in my inventory (the maximum).

#

At no point am I generating more than 6 interacts per day. I am just shoving some of them from earlier days onto later days (in this case, so I can max Calem sooner and stop worrying about him sooner)

marble yacht
#

Oh

void lintel
#

Bonus...
Aug 1st: I have 10 interacts in inventory and 3 in the shop. I can't hold and use all 13 at once. So I spend 10 in one convo, buy the other three, start a new convo with them, and close the game.
Aug 2nd: I have 3 from login, 3 refunded from yesterday, and 3 more in the shop. I use them all at once.

Because fuck doing the minigame more than once a day. PoryWoke

Fennekin... Hm. Freebie unit focused on Heat Wave spam. We already have Silver as a powerful freebie Fire option, so the question becomes who the best freebie companion is between Flint, Blaine, Flannery, and Lodge Calem.
I... think I would prefer Lodge Calem over any of them except maybe Blaine. Early sun to help Silver get his buffs up, and the second Sunny Day can let an EX Support have the first sync.

#

Quite a few damage multiplier skills in his grid, plus Superduper 5 innate. I can see a trick here with Healthy Superhit, too: three TMs, let Silver sync, and then wallop the enemy with his first Heat Wave

No lodge unit is that great. Calem is a freebie tho

waxen bolt
#

i mean theres better nukes and utility than this

#

even in lodge

void lintel
#

How many of those are freebies?

waxen bolt
#

not many units are reliant on burn or confusion for multipliers and the ones that are can usually do it themselves

#

silver

#

and rosa

#

both have guaranteed defense drops and function as decent dps

void lintel
#

Neither is fire though

waxen bolt
#

i didnt mean exclusively fire

void lintel
#

I do.

#

Calem doesn't have to be best at everything. He just has to beat his competition (freebie fire to pair with Silver)

#

Hell, newbies might not even have pulled Blaine yet. Once in a while that actually happens

#

Silver+Lodge Calem+ Support becomes their strongest fire team, since the alternative is hecking Flint

#

I doubt I'll use Calem myself but I can see some value here

void lintel
#

The more I think about it, the better this sounds...
Calem doesn't even need to grid for his own burn and confusion bonuses. Superduper 5 on its own is already massive. He can work well gridless, which might actually have a lot of value to a beginner

thick widget
#

Silver exists so his usage is pretty low

void lintel
#

This is alongside Silver

#

Silver+Calem+Speed Support

thick widget
#

Silver wants a sun setter than Calem anyway, unless you run SS Morty

void lintel
#

There isn't a conflict until there's a third freebie fire pair, and that's Flint.
Flint is... Not great

void lintel
thick widget
#

thats too rare to happen so i didnt consider it

#

well running two together is fine

#

but maxing Silver nuke is miles better

void lintel
#

That's the thing.
Calem doesn't need to nuke.

#

He's not even a Tech.

#

Superduper 5 gridless

#

Newbies never have enough orbs. Calem doesn't even need any. So he's looking actually good for them

#

If the newbie is new enough, they may not even have cookies for Dauntless on Silver.

#

Sacred Fire is nowhere near as strong as Overheat 😔

#

4star Calem has more SpAtk than 6star EX Silver's Atk, 3/5 Heat Wave has more BP than 5/5 Sacred Fire.

#

Lodge Calem is valid as hell

severe river
#

I don’t think we should recommend lcalem to newbies over lblue on the pretense that they lack blaine or anything

void lintel
#

Who said anything about recommending him over LBlue?

#

Getting all six team slots and then maxing one trainer takes maybe two weeks? That's still really new

#

Silver without power boost needs way more support than Calem, too. It's been half a year since the power boost was available; who even knows how long it'll be after this month's Johto VA rerun ends

#

EX Support sync into Healthy Superhit Superduper 5 Heat Wave is, what, 200ish BP to all enemies? That's almost equivalent to an EX Striker sync.

#

And it doesn't even cost gauge since his TM gives him a freebie

#

That's a pretty strong thing to give out for free.

#

And permanently, unlike Bluecanine

severe river
#

It just seems very improbable that someone with no sun setters would have an EX support to spare. Rosa is very valuable to be wasted like that

And the equivalent of an EX strike sync move with no multipliers is nothing to write home about, especially if the power goes down after the first usage

void lintel
#

Maybe that's how it feels to someone who's played for years. To someone who just started, though, this is good and costs nothing-- not even orbs. Even Silver costs orbs

#

Take the EX Support out and the BP drops to 150ish per enemy, which is still nothing to sneeze at compared to what else a newbie would have

it has to be on the three topics

void lintel
#

The result of your choice is calculated the instant you click it, and it autosaves immediately if the result was "the conversation ends"
You cannot quit/reset in response to the conversation ending, because the game autosaved long before it told you the conversation is over

#

Even if you turn off your wifi/5G, the game will just send the autosaved results to the server when you next login

#

You have to either make the decision to reset on your turn before you click a topic, or you have to just live with the result

#

2k clear on round 4 (special amp). All three are gridless. I can't un-EX Silver but his sync is physical so it's meaningless. Calem does good work cleaning out the sides. (I admit Silver does have Dauntless though; I really didn't feel like overwriting it for this test and then fishing for it again after)

#

Fennekin's not too shabby indeed.

#

Welp, time to reset and do it all over for a 2.5k clear because... I'm not a newbie.

radiant rampart
#

PrycePain did you mean his sync is physical?

void lintel
#

Yes. Lemme edit

#

Thank you

#

On the one hand, it's nice that this saves orbs for beginners. On the other, Dauntless still is a bit of an investment since IIRC Vigilance is on the same cookie HilbertHmm

#

Not always going to have Villa or Gauntlet or Bonanza up... But hopefully one of the three will be in place by the time a newbie gets Lodge Blue and then Lodge Calem

night tide
void lintel
#

Because it's about Lodge Calem.

#

I looked at his kit and he seemed really beginner-friendly, in ways that Silver isn't. He can work alongside Silver as a strong Fire team even when no member is gridded

#

So I tested it and won with 2k.

#

Way above the usual 850 to 1500 we typically recommend for beginners

#

Innate +50% damage multi (and for something as simple as being ontype) is really good for someone with more than 300 SpAtk.

#

He can grid for Confusion and Burn bonuses, but... (Gestures to clear photo) a beginner can just shove EXP books into him and he's ready to roll.

#

Blue is still probably the top pick for first lodge pair. But Calem is pretty darn valid for a subsequent pick

#

I mean, Lodge isn't just about raging at early convo dropouts and the occasional shitpost or meme. Sometimes it's part of the actual game CyrusSweat

No Fields or Sprints as EX Roles in the first batch? HilbertHmm

void lintel
unique ledge
#

I didnt notice the variety ex roles at first

severe river
#

May with OAR1 MW is 60% and FIris with OAR9 Acid is 100%

void lintel
#

I'd love a Support+Sprint or Support+Field, but let's see...

#

Aaand neither combination is in this batch. Darn.

unique ledge
#

Supports benefit from those but I dont see them benefitting from tech or strike unless its part of their kit like bluedos

void lintel
#

Oh wait

#

Paulo

#

Sweet

thick widget
#

We still have Field and Sprint cake unused, maybe they will make them EX role in the near future

void lintel
#

Paulo is Sprint --> Support

thick widget
#

Biggest winner is Zerena imo, she needs to sync first and her EX role is support

void lintel
#

Wait, it is?

unique ledge
#

Too bad u get the cake from paid banner BrycenOTL

void lintel
#

Oh dang, it is!

#

Cakes are also rewards from new difficulty of daily regional rotation

#

*cake coins, mb

#

Similar to candies, you need to get 20 cake coins to form a cake

unique ledge
#

Will take 100 days PrycePain

void lintel
#

Ah, right... 20 days for a single cake, though. And more like 100 since they cycle in and out...

#

Yeah it may be great but what if smb needs it more in those 100 days AcerolaPensive

void lintel
#

There will probably be more ways to get them.

#

Event rewards and stuff

#

After all, we get quite a few candy coins that way

unique ledge
void lintel
#

And ticket scouts too

thick widget
#

Missions are not datamined yet so hopefully there are cake coins there

void lintel
#

Indeed.

severe river
#

Same with the event exchanges

void lintel
#

Speaking of ticket scouts and getting back to this channel's actual intended topic, whoops are we expecting that fair scout ticket to have all the lodge pairs?

thick widget
#

Still unconfirmed but likely

#

Since the 3 PF on the banner image are lodge guests

void lintel
#

Then I'd better start deciding between Marnie vs Gloria. Hm.

#

Neither would be a meaningful addition to my rost--
Wait, Electric High Score Event. Marnie might have a use.

unique ledge
#

I need gloria n and steven, think ill go for N

void lintel
#

This is gonna be a problem, Irida and Adaman ate all my yellow crystals

#

N would also be helpful for the same event.

unique ledge
#

I do like all 3, but N has the better EX and may help w electric HS even tho 1/5 may be bad ive heard

void lintel
#

3/5 Elesa is definitely better than 1/5 N, but N at least has high raw attack BP and no recoil

#

...not that Elesa's recoil matters anymore at 3/5 with Standfast 9.

severe river
#

Unless filters are failing me, these should be the lodge pairs in the scout

unique ledge
#

Yeah just those

thick widget
#

Pick N to get his op lodge pair EthanGenius

unique ledge
#

Cant wait to get smol N

severe river
#

I’ll probably pick either cynthia or marnie ||for the song keys||

void lintel
unique ledge
#

Kind of glad that the select is for lodge bcz thats what I use it for anyway SophoKEK tho I picked alder in the first one

void lintel
#

I'd rather have Gloria (It's been a while since I had someone to use up my red crystals) but Marnie has greater practicality for me HilbertHmm

shadow bramble
#

Raihan's the only one I don't have

#

But then again...

unique ledge
#

Free PUs and stuff SophoKEK

#

I’m just glad to have the eboy RaihanBoi

void lintel
#

Going from 0/5 Cynthia to 1/5 Cynthia is kind of sad AcerolaPensive

unique ledge
#

Ive touched her like 3 times

void lintel
#

At least you'd get Lodge Cynthia out of it, for Legend Gauntlet or something

unique ledge
#

Once to use for the raikou missions the rest for type rotations

void lintel
#

I use Cynthia regularly, since Lady Luck decided to be a sarcastic a-hole and gave me 5 of her (when I was trying to get Lance or Steven to 3/5)

#

Her grid expansions made that pay off hugely... literally years later. MortySigh

We have five 3 rare cache pairs now right?

void lintel
#

Lololol Scottie/Bettie pair with an expedition skill

#

Otherwise no surprises in that list

#

All three Sprint/Field pairs subtract from the colors matching their EX Roles. Hm.

#

Paulo is a Sprint subtracting from yellow and blue, kind of strongly implying sprints count as red
Archer is a Sprint subtracting from yellow.
Variety Gio is a Field subtracting from red.

Is it weird to visit someone's house and they have a shelf full of dolls that look like you
Is it less weird if you signed a deal to let a company produce the dolls commercially

shadow bramble
void lintel
#

Apparently so. Six, then?

sharp bramble
#

Ooh 6 nice

unique ledge
#

Oh didnt realize alt leon was good for caches

#

May look at my expedition teams soon, currently doing 10 yellow/red (team 1 and 2 respectively) and 10 cache

#

Tho ig it’ll reach 8/10 anyway LarryDead

maiden haven
#

in my case

void lintel
#

That would make it slightly less weird, but I think it might still be weird to hang around someone who has a whole shelf of the same doll

sharp bramble
#

Look they only sell the one model

#

If they sell all alts of the character as a doll I would buy them

void lintel
#

Hm. I could see someone going to Elesa "I'm your biggest fan!" and pointing at a full collection of different dolls, and that would be something close to non-weird

#

Maybe for Marnie too, come to think of it, since Team Yell actually does make Marnie merch

#

But with probably a slightly higher baseline level of weirdness than for Elesa

#

I didn't play Sw/Sh so Team Yell's very existence seems a little weird to me. ...She's probably used to it tho

random cloud
#

Marnie is the sister of Spikemuth’s Gym Leader, Team Yell is definitely a reference to rowdy sports fans cheering on their hometown team

void lintel
#

Why do they have merch for her, then

#

Do Lakers fans have merch for LeBron James' sister

#

That would be weird

#

Like, I get the Local Sports Fan thing, but it's weird to me that they seem to also serve as Fan Club For The Sports Guy's Sister (with merch)

#

And waving the merch around, no less

random cloud
void lintel
#

That makes some sense, I suppose HilbertHmm

#

But then, Gordie is a gym leader with a fan club

random cloud
#

I haven’t played Sword (only Shield), but I would guess Gordie’s is the traditional fan club

severe river
#

Gordie’s fan club is only mentioned in his league card, you dont see it in game

void lintel
#

I think I read that his mother Melony was the first to sign up. ...Now I'm wondering if she's the only one to sign up

waxen bolt
#

well he is popular

#

just a supportive mom thing

even though gordie doesnt really like her

I saved my interactions of yesterday to start Raihan today just to find out we cant get the ticket for some more days ClayClown

I am also annoyed by this because I needed Lodge Raihan for Gauntlet LarryDead

Same PrycePain guess ill do leaf first

On a side note, 0/0/10/10 is now more(?) accessible as Dana can replace Lysandre, making Shauna the only required general pool 5*

Oh multiple characters at once

#

i mean i felt like that was a given

#

they only dropped multiple chars at the lodge launch and never again

quasi sigil
#

i forgot to screenshot but Silver gave me a yellow candy coin. again. i don't even know how many coins he has given me at this point. 4? 5?

lucid gulch
#

We are supposed to get 1 lodge guest per month, except the initial batch we never got more than 1 unit a month

#

Even when they added adaman and Irida, Irida had to wait a month to enter the lodge

void lintel
#

Leaf arrives in a few hours. Her lodge pair looks kinda useful in Gauntlet or for a beginner.
