Trainer Lodge

[soft lake]

sometimes i use them (i dont use the juice bc i don’t want to get max vibes right off the bat)

[wind garden]

i was avoiding using my dc tickets on gladion but his expedition skill is like. almost worth it

also i realize there are only 6 so im lucky to have 2 but man they really made 6 +3 cache units and then went lmao nvm

[last basin]

Can you give more than one gift per interaction ?

[wind garden]

no

christ why is my entire roster -blue

i need blue!! stop that!!!

[coral merlin]

Thanks Lance.

[sharp bramble]

God Lance keeps leaving me early

I need his damn Lodge unit for HSE dammit

[soft lake]

hi yeah you’re not the only one

[carmine pilot]

It's not recommended to go halfaway
Always aim to 9 or 10 in two resources (including elixirs) because you need the gold items and the drop ratios are overall higher
Prioritize the chests, try keeping them at 10, the elixir helps by giving you +2

[carmine pilot]

You have just to pick anything except hot topic

Ans if you find 3, just reset

[soft lake]

when should i give him the gift?

[wind garden]

wait, is 10/5/5 no longer the recommendation?

i had 10/10 from back in the day but when i came back (when rika was released) looking into the changes in the meta of everything it seemed 10/5/5 was the 'better' strategy

not that it changes that much for me but. if you have any suggestions for how to overcome the fact that basically all my +cache units are -blue except for the one region i dont have a scaling +blue for im all ears

(red is lowest bc i converted them for the buff+ pack most recently; i have much more overall need for blue. generally blue > yellow > red)

[carmine pilot]

9 or 10 have access to the good rewards, in short
Keeping chests at 10 is the priority overall
Teams look ok
You can use that alola team for team A, swap MR with Guzma and use the chest elixir
For Team B, Kalos has the best f2p setup with Sycamore, Chetalaines and Drake. Omni elixir

[wind garden]

i don't have guzma or any of the chatelaines, but i do have super bp tickets (was sitting on them til i had a reason/need to pick up any given one) - if theyre all kalos themed thats very helpful to know!

and otherwise i'll just go back to begging the 5*/alola tickets to please just give me guzma already

[carmine pilot]

Ye, all Chetalaines give +2 chest without having minus on blue
Also Shauna and Tierno

[carmine pilot]

You should keep the convo closer to 100 as much as possible
If you're using bronze gift, then use it right after the third topic to get back to 100
If silver, four topics (above 80) then gift
Drop chances are infamously high and drop drastically, on avrg a convo ends around 70 attention

I usually do four topics, use silver gift to get back to 100
Then pick an hot topic and proceed

[wind garden]

i also dont have tierno yet 😭 the only new genpool units i have thus far are a 4/5 drasna, 3/5 ryuki, 2/5 shauna, and a 1/5 olympia... and i only just finally got my first copy of wally the other day

so ok. i'll grab 2 chatelaines (would rather hold 1 super ticket just in case theres smth i need to complete a stage) and that will already help a ton (is there a general hierarchy among the four? im inclined to grab regice for seun and evelyn for defense, but i do also have a very ground-oriented roster (cough cynthia cough) and with morgan being the most recent maybe she's the best pick?? idk). tysm, i really appreciate it!

[carmine pilot]

Morgan is def great, but early on you need solid tanks Imo
Evelyn/Dana/Registeel are quite good
You can ask in #poma-questions before going for them

[wind garden]

ok. once current elixir runs out i can switch to omni - its a lil scuffed, but if it works it works!! tysm again ;u;

[void lintel]

I don't think 10/5/5 was ever the recommendation. Where'd you hear that?

There are a few freebie full-defensive supports available, so I'm not sure I'd go for Evelyn right away. Nita's Atk&Speed TM may actually be more useful to you instead. While Sp.Atk&Speed has low-rarity or fully-freebie options (eg Roxanne and Sycamore respectively), it's weirdly harder to find Atk&Speed below 5star.

Hilbert's awesome, but he's 5star and there's only one of him

Maylene can kinda work but beginners tend to be short on the sync orbs she needs to do it

[celest sierra]

Almost done

Bot is down i presume?

[wind garden]

trying to get the yellow coin reward from putting more interactions in w/ my partially leveled skyla and is2g she dips after 4 no matter what

if i have 30 to go on skyla i dont think i'll have time to get another yellow coin out of a diff pair since my only other pair with partial leveling at this point is rosa being 2/100

so then skyla gets me to 16/20, if i can get to 9100bp (should be doable) thats 17.... god why are the yellow coins so much harder to get 😭😭😭

[wind garden]

I FINALLY GOT GUZMA MY BUG ROSTER AND EXPEDITIONS ARE SAVED

[fierce haven]

Lowest ive ever gotten, shame i did t increase the cap

Btw are there any lodge units that are like must haves or are they all kind of simillar quality so you can choose favs?

[crude pasture]

A few are better than others, but none of them are especially game breaking, so you're safe to go for your favourites first.

[fierce haven]

Also hi first time peeking in

Im noticed some charts seem to have location specific topics?

Is there a guide anywhere? I tried the one in the resources but its full of dead links

[crude pasture]

There's a lot of information in the pins here.

[void lintel]

The bottom line is that there is almost never a location better than the Lodge or Lear's manor

Each location (including the Lodge!) has two exclusive subjects that appear nowhere else. Most guests don't like these particularly better than the Lodge's (Pasio, Trainer Lodge) or Lear's manor's (the PML, Partner Pokémon)

Here...

[mortal shard]

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

[void lintel]

The /lodge infographics include the ones for the other locations, numbered in unlock order (I used blue for contrast since it'd have to snake through to the other side of the chart, there's nothing special about Water Types here)

You can also see in the corner of the location thumbnails in the chart, gold/silver/bronze icons representing different topic categories. Location 1 (the Lodge) has two silver Places icons, for Pasio and Trainer Lodge, and they're silver because they're worth 7 pts for this guest

Meanwhile Location 8 (Lear's manor) has two ellipses, one gold and one silver, for two Others topics (the PML and Partner Pokémon), one worth 10pts and the other worth 7pts

Hey guys
ID like to get better score daily in trainer lodge without overwhelming
How many points do you recommend getting daily?
Like 150?

[crude pasture]

You can really just do as much or as little as you want. Most people don't worry about resetting, but if you do want to, 150 is a good level to shoot for. The post to which I've replied has a few tricks to help as well.

[void lintel]

I average around 10 friendship levels per day (1000 across six interactions)

[celest sierra]

Drat

[prime wedge]

Im still learning all the trainer lodge stuff. How do you make an interaction last longer than 3 topics/how do you know when an interaction is about to end?

[soft lake]

there’s really no way of knowing this, lodge luck is really just all rng dependent. though the lower the trainer’s attention is, the more likely they’ll end the interaction but it doesn’t mean they can’t end an interaction at like 96% attention

though you can improve the interaction by gifting them during the interaction, pins have some tips

[prime wedge]

Ill have to read them and see if I can understand it, ty

[void lintel]

If you get into Max Vibes on exactly the third turn, you can guarantee that the guest remains for the next two turns.
They may still leave on the turn Max Vibes ends, though, if you're really unlucky

[prime wedge]

im doing the reset method to try and get good set

first of all, are you chasing me? 😂 you're literally the only helper that responds to me 😂

but why not though? because I checked and all levels from 7-10 give 1 golden/silver/bronze box

Gg

[soft lake]

krookodile is small??????

[random portal]

Question. Why is Lear's infographic saying the lodge is the best place for him when it looks like the Villa seems to be better overall?

[knotty sparrow]

The two Super Excitings you get off of lodge are in a category (Places) with more individual options than the ones you get off of villa (Other), meaning that you can reset for an even more beneficial hot topic than is even possible at Villa by staying in Lodge

Unless I'm missing something here

...Wait hold on yeah that ain't right

Other at Villa and Places at Lodge have the same number of topics, and Other has more Super Exciting options

...Yeah, why is it being labeled as second best, actually?

Now I need the answer for this too

[stray panther]

how did this happen (exact number of points to 100)

his level cap is unlocked XD

and yet we still hit it completely perfectly

it was a pretty bad rng run too i kept getting not great choices

[crude pasture]

You still get lodge stones every level like before, but the only other rewards are cosmetic upgrades and bragging rights.

[plucky plume]

I see. So it's better if I just level all pairs to 100 first

Because you get some good rewards

[jagged marsh]

So there’s a new expedition team unlocked for limited time

Question is, I want to see what sync pairs you have used for the third team. I want to see teams to see if I can also come up for my third expedition team

Does the hot topic effect how many points we get?

Like I see there’s a best hot topic, so is it better than the other ones?

2nd Lodge Pair acquired

[void lintel]

No.
The Hot Topic is the one that can trigger Max Vibes (once per convo only) and costs half as much Attention% as normal

The less Attention% you have left, the more likely the guest will leave after that turn

So Hot Topics can give you better odds at keeping the guest for more turns, and getting more out of the escalating turncount bonus points

(You may not want to use them in the first two turns and during Max Vibes, as there is no Attention% cost during these turns)

[severe river]

[uncut badger]

What does the "Use all interactions" thing do? I clicked it and tought I would "perform" my 2 remaining interactions back to back, but it seemed like 1, and used the 2 remaining regardless

[slow valve]

It uses all your interactions at once and multiplies your score to even it out

So if you use all three and get a base score of 150, it’ll give you a total score of 450

[uncut badger]

But if the interaction ends at 90%, then I lose them all anyways?

[slow valve]

Yes, but if the interaction ends at like 50% and you have 200 something points with a gift multiplier, you get like 20 levels

So it balances out

Plus it’s way faster

[carmine sedge]

Yes

Skyla is a viable Flying dmg dealer, while Cheren is an awesome Dark nuker packed with utility

i don't include the limited lodge guests because i don't know who you have

Just in time for the special day

[elder herald]

When will the bot be back ahh

I need the info

[swift sinew]

What info

[runic plaza]

Morty and Acerola have some exclusive 10 pointers there if you really want for the novelty

[void lintel]

Spoopy

Reverse horror movie

That Gourgeist is in danger

[sharp bramble]

Whoo I have the new lodge unit

[uncut badger]

After exiting max vibes, is it better to go with 10 pointers or more hot topics?

[sharp bramble]

Some say the former some say the latter. Go with your gut.

Me I always go for the 10 pointer because the game loves to drop me at 80-90 range anyway

[sharp bramble]

Man really wants to talk about clothes

[elder herald]

Is it guaranteed to enter max vibes when u choose a hot topic

[elder herald]

do the event expedition teams have any advantage over the normal ones?

[thick widget]

yes, if only you use the boost juice

[thick widget]

nope, it just has different default boosts

[elder herald]

Otherwise what is the chanc

[thick widget]

I'm not too sure

[void lintel]

Boost Juice is cheap and otherwise you run a much greater risk of losing the convo on turn 3

(i.e. the risk exists every time, rather than only if you take a risk and forego the hot topic)

Shauna arrives on Nov 1... So today I can spend all my Interactions. It's tomorrow (30) and the day after (31) where I'd have to do the trick to smuggle them across days...

Lodge Shauna has Charging Infliction 1 and Sing. Another potential sync-rusher for Damage Challenges

[elder herald]

Love it when the convo ends at 95% attention

The first topic where attention drop would happen

How much does it cost to exchange with a pair

For*

[void lintel]

For a Lodge pair? 500 Lodge stones (50 FriendLvs worth). Fortunately it's never really necessary since we get the first copy for free as the reward for FriendLv100 and they're all 4star so the candies for them aren't too hard to get

Frees up the stones to use on Certificates of Excellence, or a gazillion Sync Orbs

[elder herald]

I don't really got any 4 star candies

I can't do the UB in each event

Which lodge pair should I target?

[void lintel]

Their grids aren't that great. A lot of them can work gridless so they don't really need dupes

You can't buy them until you have the free copy from FriendLv100 anyhow

(I feel like there may be a misunderstanding as to what a UB is, as well)

[elder herald]

Idk what they are called

Yk the battle challenge round 1 and 2 in each event

[void lintel]

They usually are pretty doable if you disregard the missions to clear them with specific theme compositions.
...Usually. Last year's Halloween one, rerunning now, was exceptionally brutal

I think there was someone making YouTubes of F2P-friendly clears of Battle Challenges, though I must admit there is a difference between "F2P" and "New Account"

[elder herald]

I have like 20 days of playtime and like 30 -50 mins a day

So I'm most definitely the latter

[void lintel]

Then yeah, keep an eye out for reruns (...other than this Halloween one...) and you might be able to start getting candies

[runic plaza]

I take Skyla to the Halloween place and she takes us to the gate

[elder herald]

What?

[void lintel]

I prefer it like that, honestly

[void lintel]

Before this update, the icon floated well above the terminal-- like the icons floating well above everyone's heads.

Now it's centered on the terminal

Surprised that this person bought up a bunch of replicas for the display case but left the posterboards blank.

[elder herald]

I mean it makes sense, but it just feels odd now

(if I pinged u, mb)

[void lintel]

I don't like pings but it's fine because you apologized

[elder herald]

I tried turning it off but I think it didn't work

[void lintel]

It's actually visible, these days. Rather, maybe it always was visible but I didn't know about it until somewhat recently?
Ping replies have the @ symbol...

Non-ping replies don't.

In this case you did ping me, but you noticed it right away and apologized, so you're good

[elder herald]

Ahh ok

Never knew that

[shut lagoon]

When you love Latinas but they don't love you back

[void lintel]

Go cut one letter out and pick May instead, so you can instead be rejected by Latias

[elder herald]

thats cuz Latias X Ash trust

I thought Shauna was going to be here for this reset. Is it the next reset?

[thick widget]

It is next reset, yes

[waxen bolt]

its the 31st

[void lintel]

Well, the listed release date depends on timezone. It says Nov 1st for me.
Basically it's tonight, or tomorrow morning

<t:1730440800>

<t:1730440800:R>

That.

[wind garden]

alright

next lodge unit

options are:

• giovanni
• silver
• rosa
• sycamore
• calem
• shauna [since this is for starting tomorrow/i spent all of today's interactions]

am thinking either calem or shauna, but i dont really Need any of them

[void lintel]

Do you have a sync rusher for Damage Challenges yet?

If not, Shauna

If so, hm...

...Maybe Gio, since there's no such thing as too many supports

[wind garden]

shauna has healthy healing so shes not a very good dc unit sadly

i also have elio + melony ex so i dont Need her as much

[void lintel]

Hecc. Innate so it can't just be skipped.

Curses, foiled again

[uncut badger]

Lost 3 additional interactions at 91%

[void lintel]

It be like that sometimes

[elder herald]

Rip

[waxen bolt]

shauna has healthy healing so she wont really work as a sing spammer

[void lintel]

Yes, that was revealed

[elder herald]

Is there a lodge tierlist

[elder herald]

They should give an option to disable passives

[wind garden]

it mostly depends on which units you have available

bird in the hand etc etc

[elder herald]

Ik but still there must be a tierlist from where I can choose which to get

Cuz I don't wanna read all their kits it would take too long

[wind garden]

again

it depends on your overall roster

like ok

cynthia is a great lodge unit bc shes a ground support, so for the dragon/ground hse she (and lodge lance with dragon support) was super useful

cheren is very solid as a spdef debuffer with fake tears, which is generally harder to come by

rika can enable sleepchaining for lg gauntlet stuff because she has fast track 9 on mud slap

skyla is a great physical flying unit with recoil removal on brave bird

lillie is a tech with synchro heal, trap, and can choose phys or spec as needed

gladion is a haze unit, which you can never get enough of

do you see what im saying

[elder herald]

Plus sometimes I'm too dumb to understand their kits from Poma tools anyways

[wind garden]

if you already have a strong phys flying unit, skyla's lodge unit isnt as useful because shes not filling a niche for you

[elder herald]

So is there a place which lists all of the lodge units along with what they do?

[wind garden]

i personally really enjoy serena, but you might get more value and fun out of calem

[elder herald]

So I can pick and choose

[wind garden]

[elder herald]

Not in this channels pin

[wind garden]

ah my b, i misread what the link was

one moment

[wind garden]

rosa/dewott (water tech, elec weak)

• vigi passive
• aqua jet (quick move) + on a roll 1 razor shell

blue/exeggutor (grass support, bug weak)

• sun synergy (and some grassy terrain)
• flinch via stomp
• solid team buffs from tms

cynthia/gastrodon (ground support, grass weak)

• mgr 2 + group water guard passives
• team spdef/acc/mga from tm, very solid combo even if dire hit is kinda mid
• stats arent great but grid can be tailored to suit different niches

silver/feraligatr (water tech, elec weak)

• aggravation/hostile environment/on a roll passives to pair with
• waterfall/ice punch/liquidation as moves
• tm is kinda mid, but he has decent nuke potential w/ innate being -def, double down 3, and interference sync (tho you dont want to be syncing on flinch so)

lillie/comfey (fairy tech, steel weak)

• overwhelm 9 + synchro healing passives
• lots of grid flexibility, can be deployed to suit a number of niches and fill in gaps for a variety of teams (overwhelm 9 + satisfied snarl 4 for offense control; has both phys and spec aoe to hit with whichever better suits your comp; power posture + double down 3 + trapped and sync 5 for sync nuke (and can set her own seun with tmove)

n/sigilyph (psychic tech, rock weak)

• on a roll + charging infliction passives
• calm mind + hypnosis
• decent grid, but has more competition given that hes not fully f2p (since n is not genpool and many solid psychic units are)

may/wailmer (water special strike, grass weak)

• glassiest of glass cannons with 99def at 140 (no promotion), but
• sets seun with her tm and can nuke with 4 sync tiles, double down 5, and shower power 3 (on top of rain boost to water), so could be worse. surf is helpful if you lack water aoe too

sycamore/bulbasaur (grass special strike, psychic weak)

• impervious passive
• no leaf storm debuff thanks to impervious; sludge bomb for poison, but also pretty frail statwise. ymmv; like may depends on your other strikers of the type

[msg character cap, continuing]

marnie/toxicroak (poison tech; psychic weak)

• mud slap + sludge wave is a bit of a niche combo, but does afford some flexible utility
• sets her own seun, but her sync multipliers arent great

raihan/gigalith (rock support, water weak)

• sand summoner/atmospheric acceleration/endurance passives
• smack down, iron defense, +attack/spatk from tm, x regen all = a very solid kit
• gets bonus points for having a grid tile named 'pocket sand' :]

elesa/joltik (electric support; fire weak)

• why did they give joltik 206 defensive stats and 200 attack stats. huh??
• electroweb for aoe speed control with trip up 4 passive and can grid into hem in 2; can self-heal with leech life ig but you probably dont want to unless foe is bug-weak
• tm gives acc and crit, acc is always solid even if crit isnt always as useful
• synchro healing always solid

serena/fletchling (flying tech, elec weak)

• overwhelm 9/trip up 9/staggering 2 passives; sort of a proto-dc unit (since most seem to be packing at least 1 stat drop 9 passive)
• peck + flame charge to boost speed for innate sync mult; can pair with dominating sync 2 & cakewalk for a stupidly strong nuke
• unfortuitous 4 as a grid option; no aoe like lillie offers but an excellent anti-fluid fortification unit nonetheless
• tm gives phys shield, evasion, and attack which means she can kinda evade tank for herself?? shes so fun. i personally love using her

dawn/plant cloak wormadam (bug support, flying weak)

• +spdef, spatk, and speed from tms is very solid on any spec team, not to mention
• mgr 4 passive
• struggle bug aoe spatk debuff
• grid is kinda weird but given the options for bug units overall shes solid

morty/gastly (ghost support, dark weak)

• swag bag/group slapdash/first aid passives
• full heal
• evade tank but kinda lacks the defensive stats to take a non-evaded hit? would be better if he raised team evasion instead of just his own

[character cap, will continue in a bit]

[elder herald]

Thanks

Someone pin this fr fr

[wind garden]

i lied, im too tired to keep going - if no one else continues (i left off at gloria/thwackey on the pomatools sort lodge units by release date) feel free, otherwise i'll add more in the morning sorry!!

Would be nice if there was a separate one for lodge units

[celest sierra]

These 10 interactions went suprisingly well

[carmine sedge]

Great start, amirite folks

[late sluice]

did anyone else hear how when interacting with shauna she tries to go "that… was… amazing!" but always gets cut off

so it's just "that was am—"

[carmine sedge]

Goddamnit, she dropped me just when I was about to give her a gift

[elder herald]

Did they add only Shauna or they also added shauntal?

Or was shauntal already there?

[thick widget]

Shauntal has never been in lodge

and they only add one lodge guest per month

[elder herald]

Ok

[elder herald]

Idk why but I thought she was

[keen stump]

No info graph for shauna?

[runic plaza]

This will do for now https://ng-pomatools.web.app/lodge/013900

[runic plaza]

Game crashed at 71%. Aww well.

[elder herald]

That's good for one day

How did u do that

[elder herald]

Is Shauna good for sing spam

[silk zodiac]

If you mean for DC, no. She has a innate passive (Healthy Healing 1) that prevents her from spamming

[elder herald]

What if u don't have any other

[silk zodiac]

She still wouldn’t be very useful

[void lintel]

You can easily get another via BP

Barry can grid to spam Stun Spore

[elder herald]

It will take a while right

I need 3/5 Barry?

[soft lake]

yes but you can just candy him once you exchange for him

[mortal shard]

:warning: | Trainer with that name isn't registered.

[elder herald]

I don't have 4* candies

[void lintel]

See if you can get some from the upcoming Ingo&Emmett rerun

That event's pretty old, the powercreep might pull you through

Well, hm. The event will probably only have one 4star candy and I don't know whether it's the right kind...

[elder herald]

Bp Barry is tech?

[soft lake]

support

[void lintel]

Part of his selling point for DC is being able to contribute Support EX as a sync rusher

[thick widget]

[shut lagoon]

How did you enter if it's only available for residents of the US and Canada (excluding Quebec)?

[elder herald]

Ya dont

[mortal shard]

Maybe they only tested it in Japanese and that line is much faster there

[mortal shard]

[dusk drift]

Is Wormadam worth it?

[thick widget]

In short, yes. For accessible support standards it's good because of its buffing profile

Spatk + speed +spdef buffs on demand are great

+1 crit to all allies on entry when gridded is also good

[glossy cedar]

[wicked osprey]

for trainer lodge, can you only max 2 things at rhe same time??

[shut lagoon]

The expedition levels? With the pairs we have currently, yes

[void lintel]

It takes 10 points to max one color and 20 points to max rare cache, as each point of the latter is budgeted like it's worth two of the former.
Most pairs have a net score value of 2. The ones that don't, have conditional bonuses for having other teammates from the same region. The issue is that no region has more than two of these: one six-pointer and one four-pointer (Paldea has none and the rest of the regions have exactly one of each).
The teams managing the 30 points to max a color and rare cache, accomplish it by stacking negative points into the other colors-- especially the ones with +3 Rare Cache (worth 6 points) but -2 in each of two colors for 6-(2×2)=2 net score.
If we wanted to hypothetically max an additional color, we'd have to deal with having already used our biggest score sources for the region we're stacking and the negative points we've accumulated to get there. DeNA would have to start breaking their own rules to add more pairs that would get us there, too (more net score per member or more conditionals per region or both)

[elder herald]

what all units have +3 rare cache?

[random portal]

Oh thanks shauna

[robust warren]

wtf… probably my best interaction ever

[elder herald]

how the hell

bro was cooking

[elder herald]

meanwhile blue always leaving me hanging after the 3rd topic

[wicked osprey]

i was mix and matching syncs for a good while without proper thinking

[void lintel]

The tutorial doesn't exactly explain it, so that's understandable

[elder herald]

Why do we need a points system to know how to make a team

[void lintel]

That's just how expedition skills are budgeted

[wicked osprey]

hmm i ended up with having a 9 colored +8 chest team and 10+9 chest

im lowkey relying on the morale and potions atm

[elder herald]

But as a player we don't need to count that right, we can just count the expedition skills

[elder herald]

U will always rely on potions

A +2 is a big increase in the amount of rewards

[void lintel]

Gym Leader is +1/+1
Elite Four, Champion, and Trial Giver are +3/-1
Villain, Rival, Battle Facility Foe are +4/-2 (by having +2 Rare Cache)
Some specific pairs are +6/-4 (+3 Rare Cache, -2 in two colors)
Main Character and others are +2/-0

[wicked osprey]

is the morale thing a daily bonus

sometimes i cant see the speaker icon

[void lintel]

I'm saying that if you wanted to max rare cache and two colors, the math ain't mathin'. There aren't enough points

[elder herald]

Afaik it does it refreshes daily

[void lintel]

12hr duration, cooldown is 24hr plus a random amount

[elder herald]

Yea u can't do that in one team

Plus u almost never need more than 1 colour at a time

Given how u are likely working only on one pair

And rare caches are very helpful

Like over 100-200 free 4* manuals a day

[wicked osprey]

i thought that was 24hfs

how do u usually max 2 colors, with plenty +3?

[void lintel]

Build around a regional +6

Focus on regions with full champion stadiums

Galar sucks because there is no Elite Four so you can't get many 3/1 spreads there

Alola is fucking awesome because it has five Elite Four members and an army of Trial Givers

Johto sucks because its Champion and half its Elite Four are actually Kanto

With a regional +6 and an E4/Champion, you can get +10 in only two team slots

6+3+1 from team slot

From there, you can stuff the other four slots with Rare Cache members

Which means the next priority is picking a region with many villains/rivals/battle facility foes

Kalos is particularly good for Team B.
Sycamore is +6 blue (he is a support) and there are four Battle Chatelaines from the BP pair list, all of whom are Battle Facility Foes whose negative points never fall on blue because they are also Supports

The problem is, I don't think there are any Support Champions or Elite Four in there. Ah well, Omni Extract can patch the gap.

(Neo Calem has the Main Character stat spread.)

[elder herald]

Whose lodge pair should I get :

Giovanni
Silver
Rosa
Elesa
Skyla
Cheren
Sycamore
Serena
Calem
Shauna
Lillie
Acerola
Gladion

[void lintel]

If you're new, I'd focus on the Supports. Teams literally live and die by their Supports.
Let's see...

Gio, Elesa, Acerola, and Gladion have Support lodge pairs among those

Once you're comfortable with your Support count (or just got all of them already), maybe Skyla because she's more effective as a Flying attacker than Blue.

If you somehow made it this far without gridding Silver's Ho-Oh, Calem's lodge pair can perform well as an ontype Fire attacker without needing grid investment

[elder herald]

What exactly do these supports buff?

[void lintel]

Gladion is particularly notable. Only thing he's missing is gauge.
X Atk All
TM: Def+SpDef+Crit
Haze
Poison Fang (Toxic)
First Aid 4 passive, can grid for Synchro Healing and Safety Tether for excellent staying power despite 4star base stats

Gio has Def, Crit, Potion!, and also inflicts Poison

[thick widget]

+pomatools i highly recommend reading sync pair kits by yourself to understand them easily and save some time waiting for responses from others

[fleet solstice]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs

[thick widget]

Seeing is believing

[void lintel]

Acerola plays like Falkner Junior. Atk, Crit. Gives self Evasion, can inflict Confusion and (via grid) paralyze, buffs team Speed if the enemy's move fails (from self attack, paralyze stun, or just missing). Also has Phantom Force to dodge an attack and guarantee a miss

[void lintel]

Problem is figuring out which ones are lodge pairs.
Guess they can filter for 4star though

[thick widget]

There is even a lodge filter iirc

If there is not, they can double check ingame

[void lintel]

Elesa has the uncommon combination of Acc and Crit. Also provides SpDef. She also has Electroweb to help enable teammates who get damage bonuses from speed debuffs, and Leech Life plus griddable Endurance and Healthy Healing for sustainability despite 4star stats

[carmine sedge]

Wow, Shauna has been dropping me at the worst moment 3/4 times now

There we go.

Two-devicing is quite the unfair advantage.
Time to go back to one-devicing with only tier2 gifts

[tranquil copper]

Oh ffs

[elder herald]

What's a devicing?

[thick widget]

It is a trick that allows you to keep resetting the interaction to get the highest scores as possible

Although it requires time and sanity

[mortal shard]

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

[elder herald]

i have neither, so not for me ig

[void lintel]

Also requires two devices that can run the game

[elder herald]

ok

[void lintel]

This is how it's done, if you were curious

[elder herald]

ok not using internet for getting desired results is something i have heard

but for the other mobile game it was used for it was basically useless because u get the same rng everytime

[void lintel]

Sounds like what Fire Emblem used to do. Don't know whether that was in FE Heroes though

I imagine that approach is also used in other games of course

[elder herald]

(i was referring to Dragon City if u were curious, though i doubt u were :P)

[elder herald]

likely

[void lintel]

Slightly, though I'm unfamiliar with that name

[elder herald]

essentially pokemon if everyone of them were dragons

[void lintel]

I'm already juggling too many games though so I can't pick up another, unfortunately

[elder herald]

but very weird

[elder herald]

u really dont need to

its better if u dont play it

the company behind it be doing scummy stuff

like one of the major ways of getting free rewards was removed

and replaced by something worthless

and the events are basically copies of each other

(and very p2w also imo)

anyways

What lucky skill does Lodge Shauna even want?
Already has defense debuffs, already buffs accuracy for Sing, already has fast track

[thick widget]

you can give her Critical Strike 2 for more sync damage

Troublemaker is still a good choice so she can Sing right away without having to use TM
giving her Troublemaker gives her a longer window to queue move in LG solo, so do consider that too

[shut lagoon]

I don't do solos so I guess I'll go with CS2 for now

what items are worth trading using lodge stones

[sharp bramble]

Usually just the level 140-150 manual and the sync orbs, but if you spot something you need go ahead and buy them

[elder herald]

the sync orbs per stone seems rather low

u need 75 levels of a character just to max the grid

manuals i seem to get 100+ a day from expeditions

and 140-150 im just not there yet

And today, Shauna drops me at the 5th interaction

[covert halo]

Is it just me or is shauna's "that was awesome" cut short to "that was aw-"

[nimble spade]

It is

[sharp bramble]

It is and it’s so annoying

[stray panther]

ooh shauna just gave me a support coin

and a 15% interaction despite subpar topics

funnily enough to get me the supp coin from the level up too

[sharp bramble]

Now get the hell out of my lodge

Seriously I had the worst luck with her she keeps dropping me

Has anyone else had the game crash during an interaction after the most recent update? It happened to me and I just lost all my interactions for the day.

My phone is reasonably new. I had no other apps open. I had just loaded the game up. And I just get a random crash out of nowhere.

[copper venture]

silver really liked talking to me this day

[sharp bramble]

I haven’t had a crash since the recent update

Before the update I crashed doing battle rally when I was making my team and changing gears though

But nothing in lodge

[celest sierra]

The last time my game crashed was when I reached 100 with Shauna in Lodge

[fierce haven]

God this is easily my best lodge unit yet

Unlike morty ditching me at 96% or 88%

[dusk drift]

How do you guys get to 10th+ topic really often?😭

[mortal shard]

:warning: | Trainer with that name isn't registered.

[keen summit]

Looks like the forced update fixed Shauna’s voice line from cutting off

Just kidding I reset my interaction and now it’s broken again

[elder herald]

are these good enough?

[thick widget]

If that's the highest you can achieve, yes

We have some team examples in the pins too

[robust warren]

only real trick i use is making sure i get a hot topic on the 2nd or 3rd interaction (not the 1st), otherwise its really just luck

[elder herald]

Yea all of them require some of the units which gives 1-6 or 4 or pf so I can't really use them

[elder herald]

Gonna save my attempts for Arven when he becomes available at Lodge

[coral merlin]

Went from 74 to 89. (Forgotten to screenshot the results screen) 11 more levels to go and then Irida next. Potentially possible to get him tomorrow on Thanksgiving if I get the luck I need.

this guy continues to leave me at around 90+ or 80+ attention. I haven’t been able to give him a present in like three days (and the last time I did I never got hot topic). This has to be the most unfun lodge experience yet. (and I love this character /: )

And now I will not switch to another character for now
I'm gonna work on getting friendship with him to 1000

i had the game crash towards the end of a trainer interaction (she was going to go up like 20 levels if it completed) and the game at least gave me back my items and interaction points so I could try again.
Naturally, the second attempt she left at 92%. Trainer lodge is pure hell

[stray panther]

low-key tempted to do this on purpose for all of them

exchanging them even in stockpiles of 30 at a time takes forever

someone either sanity check me or encourage meXD

for context i do intend to do another level 1000 grind ive just been burnt out on lodge recently but making it faster would help

today’s gift, may, i really hate interacting with you but you sure give the best gifts

[swift sinew]

Damn you just hit the jackpot

[amber umbra]

I set a new record. A trainer left at 96% attention.

And I just got one at 91%

Is there a hidden mechanic that increases the likelyhood of them leaving early?

Something that should be a less than 10% chance is happening like 60% of the time I do trainer lodges.

[soft lake]

no, it’s just rng

sounds like you got unlucky 2 days in a row

[amber umbra]

Ive gotten unlucky 5 out of the last 7 days. Its scary

from now on, Im using my item after the first attention drop. Before I tried to wait until the second, but at least half the time they end up just leaving.

can i ask how you got x9?

exchange for 3 interactions to get 6, then wait until the following day to exchange 3 more for 9

[gaunt brook]

oh i didn't know you could stack them, good to know. thanks

[celest sierra]

Arven, I thought we were bros
(It's a good thing I only used one intrraction attempt)

[sharp bramble]

N done as my seventh level 1,000, behind Cynthia, Steven, Rosa, Gloria, Leaf, and Serena moving on to… hmm… let’s go Skyla for my eighth.

[formal forge]

Is Lana coming the next reset, or two resets from now? I might have miscalculated

[formal forge]

Note that you have to start to use the interactions and then force quit in order to get the additional +3 from the next day. Otherwise the game won’t give you new interactions

[gaunt brook]

not sure i understand, so i need to start the interaction and use all 6 interactions up at once, then force quit, then the next day i have 9 interactions total?

[formal forge]

Yes, but you can actually hold up to 10 this way.

If you start the interaction and use 7 at once, then force quit, the next day you will have 10 in total (and that’s the max)

This is my directions I wrote before

Day 1: Start with 3. Buy 1, spend 4 at once, buy the last 2, smuggle 2 to the next day
Day 2: Start with 2+3= 5. Spend 1, buy 3, smuggle 7 to the next day
Day 3: Start with 7+3=10 (hardcap)

[gaunt brook]

will be trying this out, thank you so much for letting me know this will come in handy
