Lads, I'm going to be serious with you all for a moment.I'm concerned that my gym won't be able to get all the rewards in this upcoming gym challenge. Last time we just BARELY managed to get the third cookie and, while we have some new members, I think most of them are filthy casuals.If there are any /vp/ gyms that have empty spaces and/or are willing to kick out some people who don't log in/do their part please let me know and reserve a spot for me (I can't request to join for 24h after I leave a gym and I absolutely do not want to risk leaving a gym without a guarantee I'll be able to join one before the event starts in a couple of days).
Cafe, Band or Haunted House? What are you voting for??
>>59112022>>59112039Cringe, kys.
>>59112138What is this?
Is it true that this game has the lowest revenue out of any pokemon game? I thought gacha games are easy money
>>59112147In the Sonia/Perrin academy event, they are working for teh student newspaper covering an upcoming "academy fair". In the fair the students are hosting attractions. they are:(1) The "band" attractrion, where the hosts (im assuming Roxie Piers and Ryuki) will encourage participants regardless of their skills to come up on stage to perform with them.(2) The cafe attraction, where they just serve food there. (I'm assuming hosted by Lillie and the Trainbros, probably not Sonia since she's covering it for the newspaper). Arven joins this attraction as a staff member in the story. Darach is also confirmed to be there.(3) The haunted house attraction, where Hex Maniac (I think) and characters dressed in halloween alts encourage participants to get scared in a haunted house.This is what I got based on reading the datamined text. You vote for which attraction is the most appealing I guess. There's no data yet on what exactly happens for the attraction that wins.
>>59112138I'll probably vote for the band but I bet it'll be the least popularWhat are the rewards?
>>59112254We don’t know yet. They’ll probably announce it in a dev letter. I’m assuming it will influence a future event?
>>59112022Um, mods, you got a low effort copypasta to clean up
EoS soon pleasedogshit game deserves to die
>>59112022Ohmura shouldn't have made the donut girl such a sex symbol.I can just picture her wiggly post-coital smirk
Rosa cuck couldn't keep her threads alive so he opted to using her ugly mug for the general
I love my cute wife Whitney! She's so pretty!
>>59112320I bet she looks even prettier with her legs spread and her clam dripping with white hot love
>>59112209Neat. I'm definitely not going to vote for the Band but I'm pretty split between Cafe and Haunted House.
>>59112705>Arven & Mabostiff>Summer Marnie & Grimmsnarl>Lillie & Shiny Primarina>Lysandre & Yveltal>Summer N & Zoroark>Summer Cynthia & Milotic>Sygna Wally & Shiny Gardevoir>Sygna Silver & Sneasel>Sygna Giovanni & GuzzlordI guess giving shit ass Pokefairs like N and Cynthia would've been too generous given they're Lodge characters and they want you to roll on Monthly
>>59112738Would be funny if Lysandre goes in the lodge around July so you have two freebie with him and Arven
>>59112761I noticed that last thread that Lysandre is the only character here completely unrelated to the Lodge. He's definitely getting in
>>59112705Very based. Giovanni is probably the best unit of all of these right?I'm missing several though.
>>59112778He's the only Master Fair they're outright giving away so he's technically better. Most of these units have been power crept out in the back shed like Old Yeller. Cynthia's should be decent though since it'll only be a year old by the time it drops
>Serena have a Mega LucarioVariety Serena and Mega Lucario (Fighting) (Tech/Support) soon
>>59112705Wow, that's 5 limiteds I don't have. I can't believe they're giving SS2 Gio too, that's actually pretty good.
>>59112705Also why so many Fairy and Dark types? Kinda suspicious, don't you think?
>>59112808They're all themed after Regions>Arven: Paldea>Summer Marnie:Galar>Holiday Lillie: Alola (Gen pool)>Lysandre: Yveltal>Summer N: Unova>Summer Cynthia: Sinnoh>Sygna Wally: Hoenn (Gen Pool)>Sygna Silver: Johto (Story)>Sygna Giovanni: KANTOOOOO (despite being Johto-themed, Story)It's just most these fuckers have alts that are Fairy/Dark-based.
>>59112831My favorite region was always Yveltal
>>59112835Sorry, I guess I forgot to write when copying from the previous post. It would be Kalos that ends up getting the short end of the stick when I try to prove a point
>Cynthia on SeptemberNooticing...
>>59112705So this is completely wrong cuz 2 actual fan favorites are missing: twin autism and hisui
>>59112847The twins are getting lodge for the next two months they’ll be fine
This game is has been my goto game for waiting for the bus basically since launch, but I've never interacted with the Gym stuff. Am I missing anything?
>>59112837>>59112772Speaking of the short end of the stick, I suppose he's having the Kalos NC rerun as the one for getting the artwork given that his other appearances are all permanent main story ones and that's the only one that isn't even if he only appears near the end of it for like two secs
>>59112831>It's just most these fuckers have alts that are Fairy/Dark-based.The only one of them that doesn't have at least one limited alt that isn't fairy or dark is Wally though. Why would the have Summer Marnie, Holiday Lillie, Summer N, and SSA. Giovanni over say, Palentine's Marnie, SC Lillie, Anni N, and Variety Giovanni?
>>59112851>Ingo and Boldore>only used in BW2 Oh... that mean... it's this thing next month
>twins>fan favoritesLol
>>59112847It says fan-favorite stories, not characters
>>59112877They got two alts + the lodge anon. That's more than most characters in the game
>>59112877weak bait, try again
>>59112882The devs giving characters undeserved alts doesn't make them fan favorites
>>59112831What do you mean by "gen pool" and "story"?
>>59112890You not liking them doesn't mean they're not fan-favorites, my mentally challenged friend
>>59112870If it has to do with this >>59112878 then it's just pure coincidence. Especially since characters like Lysandre, Summer Cynthia and Sygna Silver for the umpteenth time break whatever patterns you might've had in mind. From the looks of things, they're just showing "Best of PokeMas" and it's not another Silver Rerun>>59112893Where you get the base units for Lodge. They're giving away alts because those characters aren't limited
>>59112898But theyre not fan favorites. Dev favoritism doesn't change that fact, retard-kun
>>59112890They won
>>59112905Does it fucking matter? I'd rather the Train autists than fucking Grimsley
>>59112905Keep coping, crying about it will surely make your waifu more popular
>>59112910I thought less popular characters getting some relevance was a good thing?>>59112906I love how you can tell which side of the fandom is the most active just by looking at this list
The average fan doesn't care about the twins, or even acknowledge that they exist
>>59112922Does that count when it's Unova and the Unova list in the Lodge is bloated as fuck?>Rosa, N, Cheren, Skyla, Elesa, Hilda, Grimsley and now Ingo>Soon to be Emmet too since they don't release the twins separate without it being back-to-backMeanwhile Johto's still stuck with just Silver, Jasmine and Morty
When are they getting a real event together, they didnt even interact in the anni.
>>59112927>The average fan doesn't care about Pokemon Masters, or even acknowledge that it exists
>>59112927So we are playing stupid or pretending that PLA didn't happen all that fucking art that came from that all because of his inclusion
>>59112890Train autists have been huge in Japan for ages and Legends only made it crazier. You can dislike them and say its dumb, thats perfectly fine, but you cant just pretend they dont have that fanbase.
>>59112922Japan don't even have the train twins in their ranking but it's still gay
>>59112900I don't know that there's any pattern in particular, it's just kind of weird, especially since >>59112906 shows that a lot of the events featuring the dark and fairy units aren't the top events by the community. Not a single Marnie event charts while Kabu and Bede's debut events do, the top Lillie event is the one with SC Lillie (yes, holiday Lillie came out after this poll occurred but they're still using it because they reran the events in September), two trainmen events and the second Unova NC event rank above the one N event which is for base N rather than summer N, Volo and Adaman/Irida's event both rank above Cynthia's one event (this is another situation where the unit ran after the poll ended though), neither of the Hoenn events feature Wally, and a Morty event ranks well above Silver's.
>>59112941Stop trying to convince them, they will just keep denying it. They always do this, pretend the female side of fandom doesn't exist even though it's huge, and then act surprised when that side is pandered to.>>59112928With that I do agree. They should put Eusine, Falkner and Will in the Lodge too.
>>59112956The only pattern is that they're all alts of Lodge characters with Lysandre being the sole exception, reasonably leading one to believe he'll probably be a Lodge addition that month. We don't really have any proper way to immediately rate the inherent popularity of a lot of the newer events like Holiday Lillie or Summer Cynthia (the latter isn't even a good event, it just has hot girls)The fact there's like 3 Summer Events too is pretty fucking whack like they either just picked the units out of a hat or deliberately picked some of the more "popular" or "useful" units for the sake of the event or are planning to upgrade the old as dirt ones (lol)>>59112956Eusine seems like a safe bet since Morty's in. Falkner or Will might be asking for much compared to Whitney, Clair or Chuck. Johto doesn't have TOO much to work with compared to newer games, but the characters shouldn't be as ignored as they have been. Shit, it's wild to me Ethan isn't in at all, honestly. I would've pegged him for much more popular than Brendan of all male MCs

i got the notification that 200+ proof of spirit for the co op event expired and now I don't remember could you actually get anything with them in some shops or where they useless?
I eventually managed to clear with Hugh, Ilima and gym Whitney but it took many attempts. Normal type stinks. Also academy pairs absolutely fucking suck because Florian couldn't take one non crit hit.
>>59112786Of course she would. That was a forced story freebie. Ethan has a Togepi the same reason. It's "canon" that main characters at least pick up the gift Pokémon.
Kill Red. Behead Red. Roundhouse kick Red into the concrete.
>>59113132First time in days I had actual fun with a Red fight, but it's really not fair that these last 10 days are just Anni checks for the most part. I have no fucking idea how you beat Dragon
>>59113066as always
>>59112831Aw man I literally just exed HoLillie
>>59113179I blew him away with Lance and Red to save myself the time and effort. I used to enjoy figuring out low investment or F2P teams to clear extreme battles but most of the conditions became insufferably gay unit checks or spam of status or evasion or weather that it stopped feeling like a fun doable puzzle.I can't think of a way to beat that without at bare minimum limited holiday or Pokefair dragon units. Having SS Brendan and minimum someone with dragon zone would help. Ryuki is probably good enough for the attacker since you really only need to a sync nuke twice. But he requires some investment like Hugh with normal.
>>59113230Guh then I really am on the right track, I have Hassel-Ryuki-NY Lana but they all lack investment. Hassel lacks EX Role even if I've all EXed them. Ryuki's only 2/5. If I can't up his move level (free) this April, I think I'm SOL
>>59112839>>Cynthia on September>Nooticing...September is gen 4 20-th anni
>>59113236I don't know how you can't do it with Hassel and new year Lana. You can probably sub in literally any striker.

I finally got SSA Cynthia's tower cookie in the same week she gets powercrept (not like I have the gems to try for AS Korrina anyway).>>59112705That's a decent enough selection, surprised that there's so many seasonals instead of defaulting to base Pokefair versions and I hope that it means Summer Marnie and Summer N get EX Roles>>59113110No, there was no shop for them.They were only a token for the missions
Lol lmaoGrass is gonna be the same tomorrow isn't it

Academy Perrin and Sonia kits look so basic that it hurts, like "early-game seasonal unit kit" bad. Providing the most basic of perks, lackluster grids, questionable passives. I haven't seen descriptions for B-moves as short as Sonia's in a long ass time. Sonia providing Steel Zone is the only good thing that makes her stick out. Why the fuck focus on Perrin doing any damage with a one-time x4 sync boost, when the only shit she can do is spam Aerial Ace after burning thru the 2 measly uses of her B-move. This'll be the first time i completely skip out on pulling an Academy unit. What the fuck happened?

Turns out I did reach the gem amount for an AS pity, but thought Alder would be available until today (he wasn't). So I ended up getting Florian instead. He drained more than half of my gems, rendering me unable to pull for any of the two upcoming Arc Suits.Oh well.>>59113331>>59113339Fuck. Did I make the wrong choice?
This scared the shit out of me after that nightmare.My account didn't get unlinked, so what's up with that?
>>59114171Removing the link to your Nintendo Account literally does nothing until you uninstall the game (or some other loss of data happens). There's nothing to worry about.
>>59114333I know that, but this is the second time I've gotten that message and my Nintendo account isn't actually unlinked. This time I got it right after a battle. It's a false positive of some kind and has been happening since that buggy-ass update.
tower of babel chart
>>59113261I think they do but only exclusive ones for the given character. You can see it on Arven already.>>59112705>>59112738As someone with a 5/5 Giovanni + Nidoking I am glad that we get the Guzzlord one. From this list I don't own Lillie, N, Cynthia, or Giovanni so I'm getting quite a few new pairs. I think Silver is the only one I own that I've used the EX Role on too (might have done Summer Marnie as well) so that's also some great value.
>>>missed one Blissey battle because I forgot to log inKilling myself rn
>>59113949>have there ever been good pullable Academy units?There have been tons of them.Each one of them aside from the second set has easily been among the best of their types. And within the second set, Morty at minimum still provides a valuable niche for burns.The upcoming two are also far too obviously solid to doompost over. Their only problem is that Flying and Steel are already pretty competitive types by now.
>>59113132>Also academy pairs absolutely fucking suck because Florian couldn't take one non crit hit.You didn't max out your Florian's defenses?
>>59113132There's something wrong with this fight, I noticed that if he uses critical hit next, the damage popup may sometimes not show up as critical, but still deal critical damage. However, it also sometimes can show up as critical, and deal even more damage. The first time around he oneshot my Juliana with his NP from full health and through +6sp.def. The second time around she survived with 30% health.
Just beat this massive FAGGOT with these trashcan of characters (My normal tower is lvl 13 btw), took a LOT of tries but I succeded.Do we already know the other 3 restrictions?
>>59114663Grass, Paldea, no restrictions
>>59114667>no restrictionsVolo/NC Selene/AS Silver here we goHope that fucker's ass is ready
>>59114333>>59114171It reminds me when something similar happened to me only for me to delete the cache to fix it (it told me to do that on the internet) only to realize that the game wasn't working because my wi-fi was off so i nuked my savefile for nothing.
>>59113949Gladion being the only real Normal Special DPS (before anni Juliana).Jasmine being a desperately needed Bug support.Kabu was made to be NC Brendan's best friend forever.Morty is strong, but ghost is getting overloaded with strong ghost pairsRei was actually built to properly support the team and do damage unlike PerrinIris is down there with the weaker ones. Her 50/50 freeze is useless after the devs made just about every boss have immunity after getting hit with a status. And applying rebuffs to your own team has literally never been useful, with only anni Florian actually making use of it, who just came out (Christmas Sycamore suddenly being very good for him).
>>59112952They won the former contest that gave then a special remix as reward in fact.
charting
>>59114714>And applying rebuffs to your own team has literally never been useful
>>59114533No offence but Perrin is just a 2024 version of og Nate & Braviary with circle, Sonia is really good but a pair that's not a support whose value is a first strong (but not insanely so) sync that then has aerial ace as only dps (without even multipliers of any kind) is definitely very mid. Sure she'll probably hit some funny screenshots with ex zone and break but that pair is bad bad for a limited that came out after 2022, and it makes me sad, because most academy units as you said are good to amazing
>>59114663>these trashcan of charactersBruh, I got to level 10 using level 140 gym Whitney, Redlax and ticket Gladion. You think you have it bad?

Is the freebie Academy Arven good or he is Florian/Hugh tier ?
I think i missed last week, i've had a lot going on. But oaks are in.
Is there a unit with Shiny Mew yet?
>>59115074Not yet
>>59115076Ahh, okay. Thanks for letting me know. Just came back for 96 Red and hadn't played since right after release.
>>59115002Very meh and not worth the hassle of either pulling both featured pairs or pulling your hair out hoping for good RNG runs. Provides nothing special and is not getting any use for Normal tower. Even if you're an Arven lover, just walk away with the free copy.
>>59115076That's Arc Oak and Shiny Mew for this year's Anni.
Wait, did they uncap sync buffs? It used to just say 9+. Or was it always uncapped and just didn't tell you the full number?

>>59115754If they're canon small or flat, bring, if not, I don't like it.
>>59115754He said balloon tits, the ridiculously big kind that is common in off-model porn. It's not the same as normal big breasts. Hex Maniac doesn't have either, she seems to be average as far as we can tell with the Pokémon art style.
>>59115770The problem is that she sells moo-moo milk. That got people to draw her with fat lactating tits, and then those became the version that artists saw and iterated on

>>59115911ok
>>59115908Oh I see. It's interesting that they mentioned they would give the role candies for them too then. I wonder if they'll finally go back and do them, if it's the wrong Marnie that we're getting, or if they just aren't going to do it.
>>59116182They could give an EX role to Summer Marnie only and ignore all the other alts that don't have one

>>59116771>>59116754Literally who thread. I hope it stays dead
/pmg/ is dead, long live /pmg/!
>>59116754It was a zombie thread anyways let's be real. At least this dead thread can last 6 hours without a necrobump.
>>59115002He's the best normal Phys striker that's not 10/5 Palmer or 10/5 Larry.With Julianapagos enabling him and him stacking her Paldea passive he can likely do all Phys stages of the tower, double edge and his sync are REAL strong.
>>59116802>It was a zombie thread anywayA lot of /vg/ generals are like that.What was /vg/pmg/ like? Did it have actual discussion or was it just full of waifuposts and porn?

>>59116808Then why is it dead
>>59116810Same reasons this one keep dying?
>>59116813This thread hasn't been bumped off the catalog in a while and it's much more active than other generals here.
>>59116810>Then why is it deadvg is much faster than vp
>>59116807Waifuposts and schizoposts. And "porn" that was just a stream of reposts from some lolcow's discord.All of /vp/'s most dismal posters with any passing interest in PM have notably been much more active there as opposed to here.>>59116808>and less bitchy
>>59116807Dead with single word necrobumps and an occasional waifu fag outburst to try to force activity. For some reason more of the boot licking types hid there too. And they repost general Pokémon news even if it's not relevant to this game. Every datamine is more dead than the last.
So, what do we think of the constant Arc banners? Is it because they want to conclude the story by 7th anni? They kinda HAVE to but it's chaotic. I'm just gritting my teeth and hoping it's over soon, I want Korrina but I have to skip her. I'll only pull if it's Diantha.Considering Red is a huge fan favorite, I kinda see Arc Red for 7th anni, DeNA just loves him that much. It'd be like 96 Red but physical.
>>59116933I don't like it.
>>59116933>Considering Red is a huge fan favoriteDeNAs favorite*
>>59116933It's because they didn't do arcs at all for last anniversary and Blue was the only arc that they did have for the remainder of 2025.Dumb pacing, mainly.
>>59116933>I kinda see Arc Red for 7th anniI'd be seeing Red more regularly than my own doctor
>>59116933I'm tired of 1% banners. Very tired. Last year was almost an entire year of them. But at least some months only had 1 1% banner. Even after all the shit they did, arc banners are still terrible value.
>>59115911I got down to final part and enemy is low, Pikachu KOed everyone but Gloria and her rock hard bunnyboy. She then killed Pikachu (only needed 1 hit left) and tanked the rest through two more syncs.That said, there should be a few ways to get through Rock. Lots of field buffs, lots of strategic flinching, passive debuffs.>>59116868Porn in quotes makes me curious. But I probably don't want to know
>>59116933The constant arc banners are just the constant 1% banners we had last year tooIt's just more felt *now* because they thought it was a good idea to rerun nearly all the previous Arc Fairs right after anotherThe next 1% event is hopefully just a EX MF event instead>>59116985Well, of course they still have terrible value, they didn't touch up Arc Fairs at allStill the same pityStill the same poolOnly thing they did is extend the gifts up to the later multis instead of stopping at 7(?) out 15, and the stronger performance of the last Arc Suits is just a conseguence of the usual powercreep, not that they have something more compared to EX Master Fairs (formerly just Master Fairs)
Are there 3*/4* worth bringing up to 5* or is it just do your favorites?
>>59117216At this point in the game it’s the latter
>>59117216There's a few>Lodge Serena can burn, flinch, drop stats, set Reflect>Skyla is excellent healer, buffs def & spd, can flinch>Janine debuffs any poisoned, self heal, evade boost>BP Valerie is rare physical Fairy and does good damage>BP Clemont buffs both def and acc, can paralyze, drops def>Lodge Shauna is sleep & flinch spam>BP Janine is good for team evade and psn>BP Morty buffs def and heals and flinches and confuses>Lodge Skyla is a good Flying attacker, can do free move often>Tina. You are required.
>>59117216
4*s?For me, it's Rachel...
>>59116933I went for Leon on his first run and hit pity which pissed me off so much that I refuse to pull for further arcs on principle.
>>59116808The /vg/ thread always claimed to have superior players but unsurprisingly have never posted any proof of that!!!! Also hardly anyone from here posts over there, but they sure love talking about us and post in our thread all the time...
I just had a dream last night where we were going to get an Acerola alt wearing a yellow suit with Whimsicott as her partner Pokemon during the second half of April.
>>59117105I have all the rerunning Arc units from first run, minus N. But I agree there's so many 1% reruns. What I'm suggesting is that I get the impression they want to hurry along and end the saga because they gave us double arcs into double arcs again. Provided they haven't repeated type again since Silver/Blue, only 6 types remains.Arcs are also noticeably more powerful imo than masterfairs, although EX MFs are just as good. Look at Korrina, she has extended EX fighting zone in addition to defense buffs and can even debuff enemies' defenses. Silver was already super good but Korrina is even better.
>>59117477I had a dream about poma once, i dreamt that my gym kicked everyone and replaced us instantly. I think in my dream I didnt login for 2 days so I was feeling a little guilty.
>>59116933We need a break from them. Gotta save up gems.
>>59117482Well about that, I too think they want to wrap up a single lap around all the types before the 7th anni, probably for story reasons.Afterward, I'd guess that they'll keep going but tie them to events instead of story chapters.>Arcs are also noticeably more powerful imo than masterfairs, although EX MFs are just as good.Let me point out that's not because they are Arc Fairs though, but because they were released later
>>59116933I don't like it either. Not only does it make little sense storywise, but the constant new and returning AS banners are annoying as hell. I think they might be doing it due to pressure from TPC to do more Kanto fanservice for the series's anniversary. I don't think there'll be an AS Red, but I'm ready to eat my words.>I'll only pull if it's Diantha.At this point, me too. Rest assured the next Arc Suit will be her. Probably Iris as well. There's blatant foreshadowing in the new Arceus chapter.>>59116868>>59116893lel, of course. Every /vg/ zombie general is the same.
>>59117105>Well, of course they still have terrible value, they didn't touch up Arc Fairs at all>Still the same pity>Still the same poolThey can't do that without rebranding those banners like they did with Master Fairs. They'll have to call them "EX Arc Fairs" or something. So fucking dumb>>59117464Curious...
>>59117595>Well about that, I too think they want to wrap up a single lap around all the types before the 7th anni, probably for story reasonsThis seems so dumb when they've been repeating types and if Iris gets an Arc Suit another type will be repeated (either Dark or Dragon). Some were inevitable, like Iris/Lance, but others weren't. Now that I think about it, The two repeat types are Ethan and Silver's fault lol
>>59117595God, I would love it if after the conclusion of the saga they were placed into same schedule as EX masterfairs. That is, for example in December 2026 there could be 1-2 EX MFs and/or 1-2 Arc Suit Fair banners, it'd be the right balance... They need to renew it if they want to keep pushing the Arc stuff.It's sad, because I genuinely love the concept of reusing old pairs in modern times, like hell, I would love if Diantha could shine in a modern meta, but I dislike the 500 pity and the poor pool value.
>>59117492I had a dream once that they added an event based around fighting a middle eastern themed alt for the shadow triad that wasn't even pullable it was just an opponent for the event. For some reason the event interface looked like the damage challenge one even though I'm pretty sure I had this dream before damage challenge was implemented.
So, I assume Korrina is multi/support, but what additional role does Sabrina have? Please tell me it's special strike.
>>59117768Field
Tired of waiting for Academy-adjacent reruns. The chances of pulling any of those units in EX banners is extremely low. Might as well use the Mix Scout.
>>59117783Oh wait nevermind, they're only available in the Pokémon Masters Day banners and in the Mix banner (only one of which is non-paid) lmaoWould it kill them to put these costume sync pairs in EX Fairs too?
>>59117696For me the batch that started with Blue feel like characters important for the game history. Blue was the first 5 stars outside the day one genpool, he is now the new Whitney when you pull after the tutorial. Brock and Misty are the first units you unlock. I think Korrina was in the first ones to get a grid and 6EX plus her and Sabrina were good units at release. Iris also is part of the game history, thanks to her we now are flooded with so many Breaking Swipe Dragons that debuffer became the type identity plus Haxorus was good for the villa when it was a thing, both mon deserve it in some way. It's the same for Rosa, the game mascot, its kind of obvious she will be the grass type Arc Suit.Of course I can be wrong and maybe it's just 'Let's throw popular characters for the money" or it's a mix of the two but that's how I feel about them.
>>59116868exhibit a: a typical little bitch /vp/ poster>>59117783>Might as well use the Mix Scout.>>59117814>Oh wait nevermind, they're only available in the [...] the Mix banner
>>59116933Easy skips, so I don't hate it too much.I only scouted the ones with good story and more than mediocre details (Cynthia and Alder) and got handed a 1/400 Arc N recently and 5/400 arc Steven exclusively for meta reasons on his debut.With 4/5 of the last ones being kanto units with horrid fits or ultra superfluous kits, I'll take this kind of 1% spam than "actual cool fit and Mon pairings with actually good side rates" like EX MFs every day, as it lets me save up more easily
>>59117830 #You missed the point of that post entirely, that's your own fault, not the general's. Man, if you can't even handle that type of post, it's no wonder your general was full of bootlickers and is now dead.

>>59118214What did Serebii say to make you think she's ugly?
>arc suit>forced to spark>EX master fair>forced to spark>another arc suit>forced to sparkLook even claw machines will just give the prize to you sometimes. Sparking isn't "pity" it's a spending threshold they have to add so someone who loses everything to this slot machine doesn't go burn the company down. If it's this demoralizing with free gems I don't know how whales do it spending hundreds to thousands on paid gems each month.
>>59118035TRVKE. Sadly, there are Anons out there who's hearts are closed to the truth I'm afraid.
>>59112705Then those sync pairs will be free in each moths for everyone like the neo kantrio this month?
Can I no longer leave a gym starting tomorrow or on the 3rd?
>>59118238A few years ago I spent close to $1500 on saint quartz to get a single copy of Ozymandias in FGO. You do it once and try to forget it ever happened.
>>59118239Why are you replying to yourself?
>>59118266Yeah. I used to spend so much money on this shit game that I could've probably finished buying and building my gaming PC half a year earlier than I did. I tell myself it's ok now since I've stopped and have no more money to waste anyway
If Korrina is blessed by Arceus, does that mean that roller skating is the sport of God in the Pokemon universe now?
Weekly all-male chart.
>>59118094Try SS Blue as a tank, Misty (with Psyduck, though maybe Vaporeon could work too) to support him, and Eusine as your main attacker. Sync with Blue and Misty first to get the bonus damage. Don't kill Charizard until Red syncs once, so you're not hit with Pikachu's sync move instead. Then rush to defeat all the leftover Pokemon.
>>59118306Because it's funny.
>>59118411Thank you for the suggestion! I feel weird NOT using Archie given that he's 5/5 and the rain boost seems so significant. I'll try your strategy and report back with results.To be honest, I was pretty sure I would use Archie and SS Blue, I was just trying to decide whether or not Esuine or May/Swampert would be better as a third. I have May's tower passive too so I thought she might be very good.
>>59118238The worse experience is doing your 12 multis and then getting the banner unit on one of your two single pulls before pity. Sure you get your unit at 2/5 instead of 1/5 but it REALLY feels like adding insult to injury.
>>59118463Nah I prefer that just for the consolation prize. I got a 3/5 neo champion Selene from the final 10 roll, and one of the single pulls before spark. I had to spark for Red and Misty and didn't get fucking anything but dead rolls after dead rolls.
>>59118454Archie's kinda shit desu. I often try to win with him but I always end up switching him & May with SS Lysandre & NC Serena kek. (Thank you for confirming that Archie's still shit at 5/5, mine is at 3/5.)>I have May's tower passive too so I thought she might be very good.She + Archie are very fun to use together with her tower passive... when you're not trying to survive 1-2 AoE crits or Pikachu's sync nuke. Unfortunately they're just not THAT good, or at least not enough for battles like this one. Actually, I've consistently found May on her own to be more useful.I swear I'm getting NC May next time she's featured no matter what.
Cute Punk.
>>59116933Might pull for Sabrina. Im getting tired of relying on SS Lana for psy terrain and i dont want to invest in her. I dont have an issue with it this time around, because the Academy pairs are all hot garbage, freebie included, so not caring about the Academy event is nice. I was very lucky during the anni celebration and got 96 Red, Juli/Flor, Marnie/Bede in 1-3 multis each.I wouldn't be surprised if they slowed down with the Kanto pandering until the 7th anni, it was the big 30th Anniversary, GF released FRLG and Pokopia which takes place in Kanto, Dena had reason to follow suit and overdose on Kanto, they were most likely directed to and also wanted to market off of it too.I don't really see how it can end, other than revealing the reason Arceus is giving his power out is because of a bigger looming threat that gets revealed at the end and flows into a new arc all about the threat, or it just abruptly ends with Volo being the problem (even though its clear that he didn't cause the distortions this time around, unless they backpedal on that) and Arceus says "thanks kids" before peace-ing out.
>>59118158She is not even my waifu but you are a faggot if you think this isn't cute
>>59118700Ugly and annoying, everyone forgot about her artificial popularity thanks to Canari.
>>59118700Time to give her big fat tits.
>>59113198>>59113342decided to double up on them
>>59118700You could say she's hot, but I wouldn't call her cute.
>>59118388Based..
>>59118454>>59118489Reporting back.Esuine wasn't able to do enough damage quickly enough even with 4 sync buffs. I was able to get it done with Archie, May, and SS Blue but it required leveling Archie to 180.I think you are either underestimating him or overestimating my other water pairs. He's obviously been powercrept and is obviously weaker than NC May and Arc Misty (and probably NC Serena and Dojo Gloria) but he's still pretty potent at high investment.
>>59118795Glad to know.Your support can make all the difference since Archie has low defenses, and I think SS Blue might've helped a lot in this case. Admittedly, I didn't try using him (mine is at 4/5 so no Team Rain Coat passive). I'll keep that in mind. And maybe I didn't grid my Archie right (just remembered he's 4/5, not 3/5).Not the anon who suggested Eusine btw. I don't even have him so I can't confirm or deny that he's good.
>>59118709>A character that fell off immediately and only exists to be paired with Iono replaced Iono
>>59118860My mistake, I thought you were the same anon who made the initial team recommendation.I did set things up such that it was Charizard who used the sync and then I was able to get Pikachu down before a second sync. My SS Blue is only 3/5 so I also didn't get the teamwide vigilance which probably would have made things easier but I was able to get a good amount of forcefield boosts. I also slotted in propulsion on Hydro Cannon and I think it procced once. As long as Kyogre survives the initial sync you're golden. Blue giving teamwide Endure helps out a lot and once you are at the Pikachu, Lapras, and Snorlax stage you can make sure that they all use single target attacks pretty well.Esuine is great when taking out sidemons or teams that are all roughly equal in life but struggles with single target damage on 'boss' type opponents. He's a fantastic secondary DPS though because against three opponents he can flinch and his moves are essentially free. I like him a lot but he wasn't great here.
>still no fighting type applying status beside a 3/5 mf lucario>nobody else emulating force palm movepool effect>mix barry randomly gets a confusion passive instead of applying burnsmeanwhile ice gets a random toxic unit
>>59118960Okidogi soon
>>59118923Yeah, that was probably it. I should've used Blue lol, I stopped using him after a few battles he couldn't survive. I even forgot he gives everyone Endure, that changes everything.
>>59118709ok grusha
Where's the April fool's event? No I don't mean the one on 4chan.
>>59119578At night if the main game's mochi mayhem is anything to go by
>>59119578Pecharunt got upset at his event getting datamined for the 2nd time, and now he's not showing up.
>>59119736>the april fool joke is that there is none
Well at least this plot wasn't as bad as the Brock Misty one. They should have skipped that one if they couldn't think of anything to write.>Red the capital G God of Pokémon Masters decrees Kanto shall get more Arc Suits>Arceus kneels>Lear and his "random" selection kneels>Galar kneels>Paldea kneelsIt still felt pretty forced though.
>>59118369Arc Suit removing the nerdy safety helmet makes it look like Arceus hates skaters and wants them to suffer
70 GymB tickets and all I got was a Korrina dupe gold star
Did a single pull (and a daily) just cuz and got Korrina anyway
Chartmine
>>591189602/5 Kieran carried me to stage 29 because of AoE 50% trap proc NGL, special was waaaaay harder to win with because I don't have aura cynthia and 3/5 iron Bede is kinda iffy without big steroids from zone and SMUNs
>>59117815According to you fags Erika is very beloved in Japan so I find it really weird that she got skipped as an Arc suit and that she STILL isn't in lodge.I suspect, also according to your reasoning, that the first Gym in story, could be our next Arc suit, better save up for Arceusized-Wife
Do we know what theme is final Red stage tomorrow?
>>59119974nvm found it on pastebin, it's any, thank fuck
>>59119974Anything goes
the shit feeling of rolling on 1% banner and being teased by 3+ porygon special animations for either 5* genpools or bonus pairs that aren't the main unit of the banner, still not as bas as getting a second summer gloria from the mix banner
>>59119798Despite pouring all my gym coins into those specific tickets and maxing out the other two gym leaders, I still can't get Kabu. He must hate me.>>59119910Not a waifufag but I think they're saving Erika Lodge for later. There's no way they've forgotten about her.>the first Gym in historyWtf do you mean?
>>59120020Wait, you guys don't skip the Porygon animation?
>>59120052He meant Masters has 5 Pasio badges for the PML story arc, not gyms themselves. What anon ignored is that you meet Grass sync pair Rosa before Erika and she is also the game's mascot with R*d from K-word.
>>59120059Even if you skip it you still get the special mindscape background intro for 5* pairs.
>>59120070Yeah, I figure that's why some people might not want to skip it, because they're used to other gacha games skipping special introductions for their pulls if you skip the initial animation. But thankfully that doesn't happen here. It's much quicker to skip it and see all the units pop up one by one than to wait until the 5 star Porygon animation.
They can't find a definitive color for Mega Alakazam omg the homescreen one look like the shiny
>>59120070Oh wait, I think I misinterpreted what you said. You were teased by the mindscape intro.Can relate. Fucking SSA Cynthia. It felt like the game was teasing me when it kept giving me several 5* Sinnoh units each multi, none of them Cynthia.
>>59120020I always press skip because everyone is now a gold ticket. Especially in trash arc banners. The "fake out" animation doesn't matter if it happens just as often if not more often than the actual 5* flashing animation.
I don't know how you're supposed to do the arc fight without arc Alder. Even with him he does barely any super effective damage. I can't imagine how painfully slow or outright impossible it is without him or a heavily invested overpowered unit.
>>59120153I did it easily with my wives
>>59120153>or a heavily invested overpowered unit.Was about to say I had no problem doing that battle, but then realized this was my team
>>59120153Just believe in Unova and stay in school
>>59120327This but Leaftres instead of Vilda.
>>59120052>>59120068Yeah the PMLErika is the first badge, and one of the First one to join as a free unit.I don't know why she isn't in lodge yet.But considering how things are going she Could be the next Arc pair or eventually coming in the previdible future.Anyway, you anons probably made this already, despite the fact that Silver and Ethan destroyed any possible patternfagging.But we are still missing:NormalGrassElectricIcePoisonGhostFairy.Grass is definetly Erika at this point.Fairy hopefully we get diantha and Gardevoir.Electric will be red and pikachu or something like thatNormal? Scottie Bettie and Arceus?Ice, poison, ghost?Who can we expect there?(Ghost could be Giratina actually)
>>59120610Giratina will be saved for the introductions of villian dArc Suits with VoloNormal - Penny + EeveeGrass - Gardenea + RoseradeElectric - Yellow + ChuchuIce - Irida + GlaceonPoison - Oak + NidoGhost - Agatha + GengarFairy - Bede + Anything (because fuck diantha)
Thanks DeNa for the 3/5 arven, got to stage 29 with him + 3/5 ex Marnie, 2/5 Akari and 3/5 NC Marnie as only limiteds, albeit the last Phys only stage took a while
>>59120698I'm really struggling with the Status stages on dark. I'm using Lodge Pier is there anything better?
>>59120710The pic I posted is the 29th stage, whigh is status/interference.I just used triple Marnie from stage 23-26-29, tcg Marnie has offensive debuffs, gauge, sync cd and team speed buffs + she maxes the master and ex pf passives
Gotta add that I did have to bring the tcg Marnie to 160 to survive -3 spa sync for stage 29, and the other two to 200 to deal enough damage before Diantha just wiped with dazzling gleam, since all 3 units are fairy weak and stage 29 is "oops, all fairy moves!"I'm also a skill gear autist so...
>>59120729Oops, wrong pic my bad
>>59120729>>59120741Birb in slot 1?
>>59120761Yeah, she can tank very well and her auto heal, protect, endure and endure again + evasion can let her tank for a long while.Btw I just realized NC calem has team endure and flabbergast 4 so he COULD be an option if you want to, I've seen a couple replays using him in stages 26 and 29
>>59120656>YellowLOLYou're getting another Red + Pikachu combo, and you're going to like it mister
>>59120656>Kalos focusYou know who's coming
>>59120774>>59120656Actually ridicolous as it sounds, We could get Chase and Elaine as Pikachu and Eevee.Instead of Red and something to do with Arceus.I like the idea of Agatha and Oak for Ghost and poison, can definetly see that happening, but this leaves out Ice.If only Dena didn't already make Silver And Ho-oh we could have gotten Him and Sneasel, but now I think the only plausible would be Lorelei.I mean they made Misty and brock (training under Lorelei and Bruno) Lance already has an arc suit thanks to being a champion, IF we are right about Agatha and Oak, I would see plausible Bruno and Lorelei eventually, so we got the KANTOOOOOOOOOO E4 and Champion all done,
Grass and Ice will definitely be Adaman and Irida
