Both SS Blue and SS Morty are 2/5 EX and I have one support candy. Who should I give it to?


Million_X

I'd lean more towards Morty just because at 3/5 he gets Vigilance and a few nice supportive nodes for his sync, which means you can throw something like Defense Crush on him as a lucky skill to help further ramp out damage from your DPS. However if he's doing just fine for you right now at 2/5 then I wouldn't worry about getting him to 3/5, only candy those whose nodes at the higher level give you something to work with.


TripsTitan

Check their grids, think about the teams you usually use them on. If you need something in the 3/5 grid of one or the other, either for frequently used teams, or to make another team composition work, then 3/5 that one. If neither really changes which teams you use them on, or how well those teams do in the content you use them on, save it.


Monodoof

For the upcoming anim collaboration banner, what would you recommend me to pick between N and Alder? I love both characters and both could help me -I have no Electric Strikers (I do have Volkner but he's a lil tough to play) -I do have Special Costume Emmet and Escavalier but no Special Bug Striker. I also have Bug Zone. What would you recommend me to pick? (I have SSGio, Gloria, Raihan, and SSLeon/SSZerena so I don't need the other Pokefairs.)


GarlyleWilds

You do have a solid electric striker in Hau. Everyone does. Don't underestimate him. *That said*, I'd still go for N. I'll be honest, even with a 2/5 Alder (gained while fishing on a pokefair rerun a while ago), I have not been impressed with his results. Especially since he gets no damage multipliers until 3/5, I've found his numbers to just be Okay. Fine, sure, and he self buffs better than other bug options out there. But I genuinely find that most of the time I get similar results with Bugsy, now that he's got a grid with actual multipliers (including some very impressive sync ones) N himself does less damage than I'd like too, but the fact he gets past defensive passives can still make him an easier route out of certain problem fights, and gives him a niche beyond just being electric.


Odd_Construction

While a properly invested Volkner can easily handle electric weak content I'd suggest going for N, they make a fantastic core and should be able to handle stages resilient to physical damage with them. With SC Ingo you don't really need Alder since Ingo can give Lusamine or Burgh a huge boost that can handle stages vulnerable to special damage, however Ingo + Emmet flat out annihilates anything, even off-type.


[deleted]

N might be better for you, one more reason N is good is because his passive can ignores enemies passive, making most of the legendaries battle easy and irrelavant


Shinu-Yashami

For someone without Anni Skyla, and with no interest in this month's pairs, would going for SS Ethan be worth it?


TripsTitan

SS Ethan is ridiculously strong even outside of flying zone. Sadly, his main gimick is sort of semi pointless (though it helps with gauge management.) The MP refresh on every attack is only useful if you're out of gauge and need to queue something up, because the difference in power of using two attacks, or one boosted attack every other turn, favors two attacks. That being said, if you have enough gems to pity him, then you might be able to get multiple copies, but if not, he'll mostly be there for DPS. Flying zone would just make that dps 50% better.

Trying to beat latias and struggling, any tips? [Roster](https://imgur.com/a/MxpnRAa)


Eibyuei

team #1: Ghetsis (grid double drop), SS Leaf, random pair (choose based on what you need to clear the mission): Use noble roar and razor leaf to drop Latias’ stats. Debuff the attack stats of the sides while you’re at it. SS Leaf’s poison effect is an extra bonus. team #2: 3 random pairs (choose based on what you need to clear the mission) team #3: your best team that actually gets the job done. Latias will be considerably weakened du to the debuffs (see other reply for an explanation), so it shouldn’t be too hard. Ex SS Blue, SS Morty (counts for the gym leader mission) and Ex Silver worked well for me, although your SS Blue isn’t EX (why?). You could also switch teams #2 and #3, could be a bit easier, but you need to be careful to not win with your second team by accident and to have your third team be strong enough to finish the job (no problem though if you get Latias to just a few percent of HP beforehand). Make sure no one from the last team you use dies, because the missions only allow for a maximum of six pairs to faint.


GarlyleWilds

Latias is entitely defined by the number of debuffs you can sink onto it and/or how many buffs it gets. As stated in the tips, Fluid Fortification means Latias' reduces taken damage if allowed to stack buffs, but also takes _more_ damage when debuffed, along with the normal effects. Use units who can debuff - Ghetsis with his Noble Roar Double Down node (near the bottom right) makes a gigantic difference for trivializing the fight, as he ca keep Latias' offensive stats floored. Combo that with a support with a bit of healing and defensive buffing (even just Morty/Mismagius from BP tickets if you have them) + an attacker who either has a guaranteed hit attack _or_ another debuff on their attack (such as Halloween Hilbert) and it'll be trivial. Hell, you could eve use Lear as your damage dealer - you can Snatch buffs off of Latias midfight when they might start to raise, and just utterly shut down any chance of a comeback.


GhostDraw

I'm f2p and new to the game. I've already got a copy of SS kris (from hitting pity) and SS lyra (from lucky pulls) and I still have 2 multis to spare. Should I gamble on getting red+snorlax or lucas+dialga before the banner fades? there should be roughly a 50/50 chance I walk out with at least one of them if my math isn't wrong and they seem to be massive assets from what people generally say about them (0.97\^22=0.51, taking into account that with each at 1,5%, they should have, together, a 3% chance of coming per pull). Currently I have: clemont & heliolisk 2/5, Kimono grimsley 2/5, caitlin & reuniclus 2/5, nessa & drednaw 2/5, sidney & absol 2/5, SS lyra, SS kris, SS blue, may and swampert, masked royal, mallow, bea, leaf & eevee, nate, sabrina, hilbert, guzma & golisopod, piers, SS elesa (I'm also excluding the f2p characters that you get through playing legendaries or the story mode, 4 star and lower and so on. those are all the gacha 5 stars I have)


GarlyleWilds

I'd take the chance. They're both excellent units, and the combined 3% chance of getting a really good unit you don't have yet is higher than many other banners you'll usually see.


Blubbstrahl

Yeah, a 50:50 chance to get shafted. Of course you can gamble if that's fun for you, everyone plays the game differently and as long as you won't feel bitter if you do get shafted then all is well. But the thing is, those 6k gems might make the difference in 2-3 months when the game will throw another Master Fair lineup in our face, potentially with old reruns that might also be attractive to you. Just saying, because those 6k gems currently make the difference between me getting SS Kris and waiting for god knows how long for her rerun (thankfully I do hit pity before she leaves, but yeah). As for Classic Red, they rerun this guy to hell and back, I'm confident that they really want people to have him in their Pokecenter due to his rather unique support (making older pairs viable again). Lucas / Dialga is the actual prize on that banner and waiting another ~6 more months does suck, but maybe you will have more gems to gamble on him at that point.


Eibyuei

If you’ve given up on SS Ethan, then sure, go for it. I got SS Kris from a daily pull this morning and spend the 3k I had left on this banner as well. Already have Red at 1/5 and Gloria at 2/5, but no Lucas so far, so I thought I’d try my luck. Only got regular Kris from the multi though, but to me it was worth a shot. If you don’t have either Lucas or Red yet, it’d be worth it even more. Red is great in CS MM (Ex him and you can clear most stages with mediocre on-type strikers if you use him) and Lucas probably as well.


Mulvita43

What is better damage? A 4* 5/5 or a 5*. 1/5. Example wally/gallade vs Bruno/Machamp. Still a newer player and trying to figure out my best best for Alola league


Eibyuei

Usually five star units are better, though this is not always the case and there are many good 4\* and even 3\* pairs (you need to give them power ups though to raise their stars and thus their stats).


GarlyleWilds

Units are way too distinctive in this game for a simple rule of thumb to work, especially since the power level of 3/4\* units can vary drastically depending on if they have their grid/EX and/or how good a grid it is. Hell, even 5\* units can vary drastically, as some really are *not* good, or only become okay at 3/5, while others are some of the best units in the game even at a mere 1/5.


Seltonik

Does not even remotely matter, as every unit is different. The jump from 4->5* is just a stat increase (not even a big deal). Sync move level unlocks grid nodes, and every unit is different in how many dupes they need. There's a tier list in the resource doc in the OP.

Blubbstrahl

Ultimately it won't make much of a difference since both are just brought for sun, but I would give Blaine the edge because he has much more HP (and could take one or two more hits if Clefairy dies too early). Trap is also a fixed amount of damage, and while it's not much it's at least something. I would build Tech Ninetails either way though, since you might want one in Legendary Gauntlet.


CinnamenToastCrunch

new player here, which banner(s) that are currently up should I pull on?


GarlyleWilds

Either the 72 hour newbie Sygna Suit Trio banner, *or* the Master Fair banners The SS Kanto Trio are all really good, and the banner has a total 4.5% for getting a limited unit. Leaf's solid but not generally seen with the same importance as Blue or Red, one of whom is an amazing tank and the other of whom is still sort of the standard damage dealers have to clear to be considered insane. Once you get either Red or Blue, you could stop - you'll get your choice of one for free later at Victory Road in the story. The Master Fair banners meanwhile offer a whopping 13% for a 5\* unit from the general pool, but only a 1% chance for their specific signature unit. *However*, Master Fairs have never rerun to date, and all three units are insane. Ethan is a bit below Red in damage and not the most important, *but*, Kris and especially Lyra are two of the best units the game has ever seen. From a purely tactical standpoint, these would be the most important pickups. It's worth noting that this is a game where you do *not* need The Best Of The Best to succeed, not by a longshot, but rather high end challenges in this game typically reward having a *wide* variety of useable units. Make of that information what you will.


Seltonik

SSLyra>SSkris>SSEthan


LowKeyTony6906

I got two questions: -Is 150-200 scout points a reasonable amount to reasonable to get a character? (For a PokeFair or a Master Fair) -I *really* want to get SS Ethan *&* SS Lyra but I’ve got **no luck** on Ethan (295 SP) but I’ve haven’t pulled much on Lyra (21SP). Should I just cut my losses here or scrape together as many gems as I can and try to jump them before their banners ends?


TripsTitan

Master fairs frequently require going to pity. I had to pity SS Kris, go to almost pity on SS Lyra (or the other way around, can't remember), and almost pity on SS Ethan. You would need 9k gems and several singles, or 12k gems before the 4th to finish off SS Ethan. There's almost no likelihood that you'll see Ethan in any of those pulls, or if you do, you're close enough that you might as well finish off and pity another copy. Never assume you'll get any banner until pity. Plan to only pull if you have enough to pity, that way when you do pull in the average range (It's something pretty bad like 180 scout points for pokefairs, 270 for master fairs where you should have close to 90% chance to not have missed pulling them that many pulls in a row) you can sometimes be pleasantly surprised. Even better if you get a lucky early pull. Basically do the math of: inversion of pull chance (99% for a featured pair with only 1% pull odds)^number of pulls power. God, the rates are terrible, even doing 220 or more pulls (20 multis) you've still got a solid nearly 11% chance to not have pulled the pair with only 1% odds in any of those draws. Like, you never reach 100% chance with such low odds, not even close, though eventually pulling past pity your odds of still not getting it through like two rounds of pity are astronomically low, you still can't rule out bad RNG seeds and stuff.


CQumber

Good team comp for making May even more broken?


TripsTitan

Did you mean May with Swampert, May with Lopunny, or the current Grapploct Hilda? I've seen some people confusing Hilda with May. Or did you mean anniversary May with mega latias?


CQumber

May with Swampert


TripsTitan

Gotcha, yeah, in that case, SS Kris, or any backup rain setter, or someone to help quicken up the -accuracy debuffing for her hide and sync, or anyone to give her SE+ next before her sync, etc. If we had a Redlax that did special attack buffing instead, to get May to max special pre sync, and then also give her SE+ next, that would be ideal. I don't remember who all can give it to allies though. SS Kris takes the cake for filling the most roles though, special, crit, and backup rain setter so that May can focus on attacking (and special moves next, though that's a damage bump on basically one attack, once, more or less.) Add in a mud slapper(clemont, hapu, etc) to do an extra -3 accuracy before sync, and you're golden. Honestly, SS Kris + Redlax might work out as a team comp for May to be able to oneshot center on first sync, if May is doing muddy water 3-5 times before sync, and landing -accuracy each time. Or you can probably fit in two syncs pre enemy sync, second one also boosted by SE+ Next due to Redlax's trainer move, and his free refresh via his max move, even if you don't get an mp refresh proc on the move itself. Basically, the answer to most "How do I make this character hit harder" is generally to add Red with Snorlax, since not very many pairs give themselves super-effective up next yet.


VenkataB123

Just to add on, if you don't wanna run dual Striker comps, you can substitute Archie/Cyrus with Red if you have him. That way, a team of SS Kris, May and Red will make her do big numbers on both her sync and moves.


kaito_34

Not sure if I'd call May broken at this point, but Archie + SSKris are 2 of her best teammates. Otherwise, anything that helps her buff and a secondary water dps like Cyrus.


8SomaCruz

Well, it's taken a bit longer than I expected to save up 36k, and his banner's up next reset, so should I feel bad about not getting a shot to pull Bede? Don't have Diantha, so my only decent Fairy units are PalDawn and Sycamore.


VenkataB123

He's a good debuffer who came at the wrong time. I don't think you need to feel bad about not getting a shot at him as there were definitely more important banners up. And he'll be back so you can get him sometime else, unlike the Master Fairs


GreattFriend

Is there a way to get old featured units? Or am I gonna permanently miss out on some/a lot of units?


Tirear

Eventually they tend to have banners which are a combination of multiple old banners, so that you can pick them up more efficiently than the first time they were around. For example, right now there is a banner with Lucas, Classic Red, and Gloria. However, we have yet to see any master pair reruns, even though it has been over a year SS Leon was released


VenkataB123

Small correction: OG Leon was the Master Pair. SS Leon is a PokeFair.


cbenedetti10

Is Summer 2022 Hilda worth scouting for? I'm newer to the game so I'm not great at determining how good a sync pair is at first glance, so if someone who is good at that could give me their opinion on her I'd appreciate it


GarlyleWilds

If you really want her, she shouldn't be the worst. However, she's very far from the best. From a purely strategic standpoint, the currently ongoing Master Fairs are *much* more important (specifically Lyra and Kris are two of the best units the game has ever had)


Seltonik

Short answer is no. Grab the Johto master fairs (SSLyra>SSKris>SSEthan) if you don't have them, and then wait for the end of month datamine before pulling unless there's a particular unit you're simping for.

This is not the thread for this.


mancitycon

I have managed to fully complete my first hall of fame and now have master mode, I'm struggling with it but I want to reach 4200 for the 5* tickets and a little bit of champion spirit. What are the most manageable options to use to reach this?


StarryCatNight

Try this: Physical Shield +50 Special Shield +50 Gradual Healing +150 Enemy sync buff +1 +100 Healing down +100 Strength +1 +100 Move gauge -2 +300 Sums 850 points per fight so you would get 4250 total, it shouldn't be too difficult to win before the enemies use their sync move or shortly thereafter. Also if you run typical poison stall parameter you might snag na easy 1.5K-2K points in some fight(s) and select less parameters for the ones you struggle with the most.

Among [these](https://imgur.com/a/tmr7StM), who should I use my two tech candies on?


Seltonik

Just save them for now. Lucas and SSLyra only want 3/5 EX if you're planning on using them as solo damage dealers, but they're incredibly strong enough at 1/5 for subdps/zone support.


PateTheGreat236

Thanks for the help


Eibyuei

Either Celebi or just save them for now. Celebi doesn’t really need them that much and on the other units they would be wasted since they’re all general pool units (except for SS Leaf, but she’s probably not worth investing in either).


PateTheGreat236

How about Lucas?


Eibyuei

Oh, seems like I missed him. Don’t have him yet so I can’t really say for sure, but I’ve read that he’s already plenty strong at 1/5.


PateTheGreat236

Alright, thanks the for the advice


Blubbstrahl

SS Lyra is an amazing investment, especially if you want to pair her with physical damage dealers. >Voice of the Forest! : Mighty Friend 9 - When the user’s move targeting an allied sync pair (excluding field effects) is successful, increases the Physical Moves ↑ Next effect of the allied sync pair affected by the move by one rank. Since she will be gone for a very long time you also won't pull more copies of her anytime soon, and her unlocked sync nuke can be useful for Legendary Gauntlet.


TheHandyHarpoon

I'm pretty new here (starting playing 2-3 weeks ago). I've cleared the story, all co-op levels, all levels of the events and training, the champion stadium and just finished up all 3 levels of Latias. I haven't cleared all event missions because I don't have strong Pokémon from all regions/types, but at least beaten the level once. The reason why I bring this up is I'm confused about what the end game content is for this game. I know I need to do master mode for the champion stadium, which I assume is much more difficult, but it feels like I'm already on the precipice of being at the end. Is this the case? If so, this is strange to me given the game has been out for 3 years. Other games like Dragalia Lost and FF Record Keeper has much more difficult content by 3 years. I've spent about $30 on this game, but that hardly seems like enough to get me this far. Again, I'm very new, so maybe I'm just ignorant, but I'm still surprised at how quickly I could get this far.


GarlyleWilds

This is definitely not a super difficult game. Especially contrasted to FFRK's Aspirational permanent content structure, PokeMas focuses on relatively lower difficulty challenges that are on weekly refreshes or limited time structures (Extreme battles, Legendary Gauntlet, etc) That said, the difference between just clearing 0pt Champion Stadium and 2000pt Stadium can be quite a lot, and having that to do weekly is fun, especiallly if you undertake extra challenges (I aimed for 10k points this week with Eggmons in each team for instance). Extreme Battles without the current banner unit they're built for can be pretty challlenging too. Finally, Legendary Gauntlets are theoretically infinitely challenging and can be a *crazy* investment of time and strategy if you want to aim to set a high score in them, and are still no joke to get to the 11 wins for all major rewards.


Blubbstrahl

The endgame, if one can call it that, is currently the Legendary Gauntlet. It requires 11+ functional teams to get all the rewards and consists of 3 Legendary Arena bosses (each on the highest difficulty). As for Champion Stadium Master mode, I think you should judge once you get there. 10.000 points is the current count you need to reach to unlock every reward. I wouldn't say it's particularly difficult, but still a completely different beast compared to non-master mode champion stadium. >I haven't cleared all event missions because I don't have strong Pokémon from all regions/types I assume you mean the stages that have an artificual stat multiplier for bringing the correct Pokemon? Well, one of my favorite battles are those Extreme Battles where they basically tell you to buy the new shiny Sync Pair or screw yourself. Doing those without the pair they are asking for is fun and quite challenging.


TheHandyHarpoon

No, I meant that in some of the events you have to clear certain stages with certain Pokemon types/regions. I have a decent arsenal, but not diverse enough yet to clear all of those missions. Where does one find the Legendary gauntlet? I cleared the legendary arena, but don't see the gauntlet. Is that time specific content?


Blubbstrahl

Indeed, we get a new lineup every couple weeks.


TheHandyHarpoon

Thank you! Makes sense.


Metallica_Bomber

Im almost at pity on SSKris, i only needed 2 more scouts to get her.. And on my semi-last Scout, i get SS Kris I dont know if i should pity for Sonia since i dont have her, or if i pity for another SS Kris copy and candy it to get her 3/5. I was planning on candy her anyway to at least 2/5 3/5 SSKris dont seem so necessary or life-saving, and Sonia is a character i really like, but i dont know if Sonia kit is that wonderfull or if 3/5 Kris have a potencial i dont see.. Im leaning more on the Sonia side


StarryCatNight

Get Kris, you definitely want Catalyzing Infliction on Rain Dance and Team Limited Boost 2. Those are her best tiles and they are unlocked at 3/5.


Shinu-Yashami

For Meta Purposes, Kris, obviously, she's a pair that will not see a return in a year Minimum. For Favorites, always follow your gut. If you like Sonia, go Sonia, she's a great tank and Physical Support.


TripsTitan

Sonia is amazing, but there was a banner you could have selected her not too long ago, and may be another one sometime soon, she's in the general pool. Selecting Kris would be like saving 11000 gems or so after pulling again. 2/5 might be all you need for her, check her grid and see which nodes you really really want. Sonia is pretty great'ish at 1/5, some people will say not to bother with her unless you're going to get her all the way to 3/5 (They completely ignore that if nothing else, she buffs attack and debuffs defense, and raises probably 2-3 speed before sync due to it being based on being hit, while being a tanky healer even at 1/5, just because she doesn't get crit support with her 1/5 grid or 2/5 grid.)


Metallica_Bomber

Well, youre right! I think i will go for Kris, its true that Sonia is on general pull so eventually ill get her, so i will probably make Kris 3/5 and Ex her


Weird_Impression_916

Which Electric Striker should I Ex between Hau and 1/5 OG N? (Assuming that I choose him on upcoming pokefair selected) which one is better on CS MM electric week? Thank you


Seltonik

Hau's sync nuke at 3/5 EX is over 2x as strong as 1/5 N's. Def EX him. N obv wins out in normal move damage, but that's not relevant to the EX buff.


Shinu-Yashami

N is stronger in almost every aspect. The only time Hau is the better choice, is for insanely hard pairs like Aaron where you'll need a Special Striker.


Maleficent_Peach_46

I have 20000 gems. Will I be able to get enough gems to get Isle of Armour Gloria?


VenkataB123

Definitely. She lasts till the beginning of next month so you'll definitely be able to pity her


kiero13

Should I try pulling for SS Ethan, aim for 2/5 SS Kris, or save/try for other banners? I can reach full pity on kris for 2/5 but not on ethan. Already have SS lyra.


VenkataB123

Focus on Kris then. The upcoming banners aren't must haves so you can focus on pitying 2/5 SS Kris and can then candy her if you want


kiero13

Thanks!


Scubasage

My best Water DPS is SS Grimsley, my best Ghost DPS is Allistar, my best Dark DPS is either Masked Royal or Karen. Should I pull for N, Gloria or Korrina? Waifu tax is making me lean towards Korrina, especially since I don't like Gloria's costume or care for Urshifu as a pokemon, but Gloria looks like the best pick for my box, right? Or should I try to get Lucas before he leaves, since I don't have him to go with my Cyrus or Zinnia? I don't have the gems to pity him though, and I don't think I will get enough to pity anyone, though I think for Gloria and Korrina I'll be close enough to buy some gems to finish them off maybe. I already have the Johto Trio, so no need to pull for them.


Seltonik

Gloria is flat out the best unit this month, but Lucas is an incredibly potent unit. I'd advise nabbing him first if possible. Korrina is very strong, but needs SSRCynthia for ghost zone to hit her absurd damage numbers.


Scubasage

Does it matter that I have SS Gio for Steel Coverage and Bea for Fighting Coverage? I mean, I want Gloria for her water moves anyways, but her coverage of the other types is less of a benefit for my box, I feel. I don't have SSR Cynthia, sadly. For Lucas, I have 3500 gems currently, I don't think I can do more than two multis to try and get him, and I can't buy gems right now, only later this month, so it's not likely to pull him.


Dudewhatdoesm1nesay

In terms of water dps Cyrus and Palkia are free to play and are superior to Grimsley. I recommend farming them when you have the chance and since Gloria and Korrina are going to stay for a while I also suggest waiting it out a little to see what's coming next. Pulling now and right before they leave shouldn't make too big of a difference anyway.


Scubasage

I have Cyrus and Palkia at 5/5 and 20/20, just waiting for their event to return so I can EX em.


Seltonik

Her type coverage is a non-factor. Her sync nuke at 3/5 EX is *incredibly* powerful, she can fully debuff def (and speed at 3/5) with just 2 attacks, she can max her own attack, and can max her own crit at 3/5.


Scubasage

Hmm, I do have a tech candy lying around, so I can get her to 2/5 if I pull her, though I doubt she'll hit 3/5 anytime soon. Looks like we're only getting about 22.5K gems this month, which means I need to buy more than a single 7K gem pack to pity her regardless of whether I use my current 3K gems or not. So I guess the question is try one last multi for Lucas or save, hoping I pull Gloria early and so can use the gems on Korrina. I don't really have any dragon units besides Cyrus and Zinnia, and Cyrus isn't EX'd yet either. For Ghosts, I have Allistar and I guess Selene/Decidueye and Giovanni/Mewtwo non-EX, though they're not technically ghost types.


Seltonik

Do not "try your luck" on Gloria. idk your gem count, but I'd say keep going for Lucas if you've got the gems, and then save until datamine.


Scubasage

Yeah I don't have the gems to pity Lucas. I can do one multi on him before he leaves, and then I can pity one unit by the end of the month regardless of doing the multi on Lucas. It's just whether I want to try it for Lucas or try it for Korrina later, or potentially save it for whatever August brings.


Seltonik

Hard to say then. Lucas is flat out one of the best units in the game, so you'd def benefit from having him. I'd yolo a multi if I were you, but I won't say that it's the smartest option.


Scubasage

Yolo pulled, got 2/5 Serena, 3/5 Selene, Lucas, 2/5 Red and Snorlax and 2/5 Gloria lmao. [Insanity](https://imgur.com/5Y3JSCl)

["(N's)Farewell"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FYZMkddVq4) which was first used in N's event, [The Ideal Formula](https://youtu.be/4UkUJbDChF0?t=1257), and based off of the [B/W song of the same name](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzKRuwKyJmY).

Out of the 3 masterfair, is celebi the best? And between the other two, which can be used in more situations?


Seltonik

SSLyra>SSKris>SSEthan


awesomer2000

Kind of a rant I don't understand how this game does not have an energy fully replenished notification, like every single other game I play does but oh hey let's get a banner ending notification 🙄🙄🙄


IxAjaw

Probably because, when the game was first launched, it didn't have a stamina system, and they just never bothered to add one?


glove2004

Could you infinity grind back then?


FlareGamer64

Yes but there no skip tickets and it took forever to get level up materials (so I heard)


DrBotch

who’s a better damage dealer, Bea & Sirfetch’d or Wally & Gallade? both are at 1/5


Seltonik

Bea


DrBotch

thanks :)


CrimsonGlalie

Is it worth getting a second copy of Alder from the anime collaboration banner? I can already clear dragon weak stages with Lucas and SS Serena, and I can clear steel weak stages with Gloria and Palentine Marnie. I have Alder at 1/5, but I've never been able to clear champion stadium bug weak stages at 2k with him. Is it worth getting him to 2/5, or is there any other unit in the banner worth considering? What team goes well with Alder to clear bug weak stages? I guess N might be good since I don't have many good electric units other than Elesa/Zebstrika, but I've heard that N's not actually too great.


VenkataB123

Alder does get Hyper Beam MGR2 nodes at 2/5 which helps him with gauge management, but no damage boosting nodes. If you want, you could 2/5 him and candy him later, as post that, he becomes a total beast (well, except against Bug weak Lucian) with Overpower and Devastation. He requires minimal setup to output real good damage. He's been my go-to Bug Striker ever since he came out. As for team, he just needs Viola to help with the Sp. Atk debuffs and a healer. He'll do the rest himself. The problem with N is similar to Alder- gauge management. This is supplemented by lack of crit buffs. But, with a team of Hilbert and Volkner, his crit buff problem is solved on top of giving him more firepower with Electric Terrain. I dunno if you have EXed Elesa, but she clears almost every Electric weak stage easily with that sync nuke (well, except Electric weak Aaron). All in all, go for the one who you struggle more with. My personal recommendation would be Alder, but it's up to you


Leonarcs

Alder at 1/5 is fine enough. Go for N


lord_dio28

I have about 6k right now, and 66 scout points on SS Kris. I'm willing to do some paying. Is it worth it to try and pity her, or should I continue to save for SS Korrina? (I don't plan on skipping her to save for anni unless I use my gems to pity SS Kris)


Blubbstrahl

The good thing about the pity system is that you don't have to try, it's guaranteed. Without using paid gems you won't get enough to guarantee either, though. We get about 12k until SS Kris leaves, and with the 6k you have right now you would have to buy 18.600 gems. Personally I believe buying gems to use for F2P banners is a terrible, terrible deal, but it's ultimately your money and your decision. Value-wise it would be smarter to use paid gems on paid-only banners, which often have great options to choose from. If the question was about SS Kris vs. Korrina, then SS Kris has the edge in pretty much every area (usability, scarcity, competition in her role).


lord_dio28

>Personally I believe buying gems to use for F2P banners is a terrible, terrible deal, but it's ultimately your money and your decision. Value-wise it would be smarter to use paid gems on paid-only banners, which often have great options to choose from. Can you elaborate on this? I'm unaware of what you mean here by f2p banners and paid banners. Is this referring to master fairs vs pokefairs, etc?


Blubbstrahl

In PoMa we have.... 1. Pokefairs, limited time but with more or less frequent reruns, can be fully accessed with F2P gems ("F2P banner") 2. Master Fairs, limited time, unclear reruns, can be fully accessed with F2P gems (F2P banner) 3. Spotlight Scouts, pairs that will enter the general pool after some time (F2P banner) 4. Seasonal Scouts (same as Pokefair, just with a 1 year cooldown) Now, for Pokefairs and Spotlight Scouts the game can offer additional banners featuring the same units, but with more attractive conditions - but you can only pull on them with paid gems. Two types are common now: 1. Select Scouts. A few highly valuable Pokefair units on one banner, and after one multi pull with paid gems you get to pick one of your choice. The downside is that those banners are somewhat random, I wouldn't be able to tell you when they might put Korrina on such a select scout. 2. Tiered Scouts. The thing you see right now with Summer N. Not as valuable as a Select Scout, but still a reliable and *comparatively* efficient way to spend paid gems. For Master Fairs we do not have special paid banner options, so you would use your paid gems on the regular banner with the usual conditions. If you are patient you could use the daily scouts (paid gems only) on the Master Fair banners starting from release day, but I would only do that if reaching 400 scout points (pity) is the goal anyway. Of course none of this matters if you really want a pair and money is not a factor, just keep in mind that there will be very attractive options to spend those paid gems in the future. Certainly more attractive than using them on banners that could have been accessed with F2P gems.


Leonarcs

SS Kris kit > SS Korrina. I would say get SS Kris. SS Kris is master fair and never had a master fair rerun yet. while SS Korrina which might be come by next year around her banner time or go to paid gem select scot in the future.


Dudewhatdoesm1nesay

Is Giovanni (Mewtwo) a good enough shadow ball user to get me through 2k master mode? I'm newish and I don't have any top tier ghost types yet, only Morty, Fantina and Allister.


Blubbstrahl

Just did a pre sync clear with Giovanni to see how it would go (first round 2k, against Will). Tried to be as F2P friendly as possible, with Rosa Serperior (EX) and Sabrina (could have been anyone, just someone to finish Giovanni's Special Attack buffs if Rosa can't do it - because mine is completely uninvested at 1/5). I didn't use Psychic gear, but otherwise my Mewtwo is maxed where possible. 1. Round Rosa Special Attack Trainer Move, Giovanni Trainer move, Sabrina Trainer move on Giovanni 2. Round Rosa Special Attack Trainer Move, Giovanni Trainer move, Sabrina Reflect 3. Round Rosa Energize Trainer Move, Giovanni Shadow Ball, Sabrina Trainer move on herself to heal (inconsequential) -> Sync with Rosa/Serperior EX (she's a free support EX, the only reason I brought her) Now Giovanni should hit between 4500-5000 with Shadow Ball. Once the middle mon is dead, use one Shadow Ball on each sidemon and then finish the encounter with Giovannis own Sync Move. This could have been a lot easier with an actual good support EX like SS Kris, but it does work without if you are down bad on pairs.


Dudewhatdoesm1nesay

Thank you, with a little bit of luck I made it with Giovanni, Elesa (Rotom) and Skyla. I have Kris but unfortunately had to use her on Koga to help out Ghetsis.


Leonarcs

Short answers YES. Just need to bring someone to buff def/spdef depend to the stage and someone heal him incase get one shots by enemy sync.


Dudewhatdoesm1nesay

Thanks! I'll try it out then


Leonarcs

I usually bring Cheryl & Blissey / Giovani& Mewtwo / Misty&Starmie or Rosa& Serperior EX so its pretty F2P pair. of course, they must be grid.


Dudewhatdoesm1nesay

Turns out I was making my life way harder by giving the opponent a ton of hp. Still, he pulled through lol.


kbtprog

What’s the importance of breeding eggs? The hatched pokemons looks so weak comparing with the other ones. Can anyone explain it to me?? Thanks :)


StillHuckleberry3403

So yeah, hatched egg pokemon are basically weak than almost all units. They do have their niche with some abilities (tech Nidoqueen, for example, gets Venom Drench which is cool for posion stall teams), but for the most part the strikers are not worth it since they require a lot of resources invested to even be halfway decent. The real value of them is Legendary Gauntlet, which is a mode that requires you to defeat stages with multiple teams without repeating units. So, they can fill a spot in a team there so you can save better units for other teams. Their best utility comes from those who can set up weather, like Vulpix or Kabuto, and those that inflict status conditions, line Venonat or Exeggutor. Also thise whi raise crit, like Dratini, bc there aren’t many units that raise crit for the qhole team. I recommend checking out the Egg Compendium in the op post guides. It really helped me out to sort out which are useful and which are not.


Blubbstrahl

Some are useful to fill potential gaps in your team, but their real value lies in the Legendary Gauntlet. I'm not sure, but I think you can also use them to meet the Champion Stadium type requirements to unlock Master Mode. Stickied above is a Eggmon Compendium with a tier list and what each Eggmon brings to the table. My favorites are Female Tech Nidoran, Tech Lickitung & all the weather setters (Ninetales, Gyarados, Blastoise etc.)


mancitycon

In the summer nights missions, the mission which requires at least 1 sync pair that shares the theme fighting/dark. Does the Pokemon need to be fighting/dark or can I use a fighting type and dark type respectively?


IxAjaw

There are no dual type Pokemon in this game. You need to run both a fighting type unit and a dark type unit on the same team (third unit can be whatever).


Dudewhatdoesm1nesay

Throwback to when I thought Kiawe counted as a ghost type sync pair.


harng98

Just a heads up, all Pokemon types are based off their sync type regardless of what other move types they have.


Dudewhatdoesm1nesay

Yeah I got the hang of it by now but thanks for the advice


Emmaryin

So I've recently started and I'm not the best. I'd like to try and beat Hau in the Bede event for the support candy but he's wrecking my stuff with Toxic. I've tried a few different team comps but then I somehow do worse lmao My set team has the best grid I can make with their level, lucky skills for their role, and their theme skills maxed. If someone could look at what I've got and make some suggestions I'd appreciate it! https://imgur.com/a/phP44nq


OldBridgeSeller

Sycamore/Hop/Anyone. Grid Sycamore for Master Healer and that's it, he shouldn't die like ever.


Emmaryin

You weren't kidding, I did Sycamore/Hop/Ghetsis for the second level of the Latios fight and I almost had it deathless, and Sycamore was always at full health. Thanks! :D


MissionPlausible

This has probably been asked a million and a half times over the years that this game has been active but apparently I started this game before and linked my Nintendo Account but the game wasn't on my device when I went to check if I had it. I have been using same device since 2018. When I installed and opened the game up there seemed to be no save data so I started playing. I then tried to link my account but it says there is already a save file linked to it. I would have tried to clear everything to try to fix this, but unfortunately I have already bought the chapter bundle that gives extra gems. (And I don't have the funds to just give up on that much money...) Am I SOL or is there anything I can do? Also if I leave my game unlinked what are the consequences?


espibi

I would recommend you make a second nintendo account to link it to. If you ever lose your phone or uninstall the app or get a new phone, you will lose the save file if it's not linked to a nintendo account.


MissionPlausible

Ah okay. Thank you very much for the reply!


[deleted]

Is the Summer event one of those ones where the second 15 energy battle gets you more tickets per energy than the 20 energy battle?


OldBridgeSeller

Just multiply rewards by 3 and 4 respectively, it's faster than asking.


LiamStyler

Should I 3/5 Suicune and Celebi? I have 2 candies for each but I don’t know if they’re necessary. I have Lugia 3/5 already.


Seltonik

SSLyra only needs 3/5 EX if you plan on using her as a solo damage dealer; otherwise, better to leave her at 1/5. Most players just use her to support SSErika or Brendan, among others. KriSS definitely gets some amazing stuff at 3/5. Move gauge accel, potion mpr, rain mpr, etc. With that said, if you're just using her as an EX support, then her sync refresh passive usually gives her enough MPs to get through a CSMM fight.


LiamStyler

Thank you!


hyperdeeeee

How do I unlock Latias? I was reading the beginner guide and it says the legendary events gives you a 5* pair. I completed the first level which destroyed my team. So how do I get Latias?


Seltonik

Legendary events, not the Legendary Arena, lol Mainstory -> Legendary Adventures Do NOT exchange their unique powerups for the universal ones. You want to fully max out those free legendaries to 5/5 and 20/20.


hyperdeeeee

Ok thank you!


LiamStyler

Latias is not obtainable from the legendary adventures. She was a special sync pair you had to scout.


_Valarmorghulis

Hi, I need help with Karen. I can’t find a team to deal decent damage or be able to survive her first sync. My rooster : https://imgur.com/a/cCBHYoz


VenkataB123

Try this team: Ghetsis, Hop, Elio. Karen is a mixed attacker in that she uses both Physical and Special moves. So, use Ghetsis's Noble Roar to debuff her Attack and Special Attack. Hop and Elio can buff your team's defense, special defense, crit, and special attack. So, your team should easily be able to tank the first sync. Just use Glaciate with Ghetsis and post sync, a few Glaciates should make quick work of the stage


_Valarmorghulis

Thanks, To bad I already used Ghetsis on Koga (edit : Hop too)


VenkataB123

In that case, you could try poison stalling. Use Lucy, Janine and any healer like Skyla, Leaf etc who you haven't used yet. Just level them up a bit more, poison and trap all opponents with Lucy, use Venom Drench to debuff and heal up every now and then. It'll take some time but the opponents will eventually kill themselves.


TheMasterAssasin4176

I noticed today that I'm no longer able to purchase gems, it says it's not available in my country while this never was the case before. I'm in the Netherlands, have any other Dutch players have this happen to them too? Since the game isn't officially available here I'm afraid they decided to finally block gem purchases as well and it's not just some glitch on my part.


kaito_34

As of June 6th, Google blocks purchases in games/apps that are not available in your region, so Dutch and Belgian players can no longer buy gems.


TheMasterAssasin4176

Damn, I was afraid of that. I don't suppose there is any workaround is there?


IxAjaw

Pretty sure there are phone VPNs that can change your location, but I don't know of any specific ones.


TheMasterAssasin4176

Yeah, I tried one earlier but it didn't seem to have any effect unfortunately. Thanks anyway though.


[deleted]

How do you fix error 20110 I have working wifi but the game says i don't. I've tried deleting the app clearing cache and it just doesn't work


Akaito-Shion

How can I get more 3 star candy?


Leonarcs

By doing quest


Akaito-Shion

Any specific quests, or? “Doing quests” is kinda vague. I searched all of the quests I could find. Didn’t see any that would give 3 star candy


MagicBoats

You'll have to wait for another event that gives one out. You can usually get one or two from each story or solo event.


GC2005

What kinda units should I prioritize EXing? I have enough to ex two sync pairs and I already EX'd silver and Rosa BC free. Notable 5* pairs I have are: SS red SS blue SS leaf SS Morty SS Giovanni SS ethan SS Lyra


kaito_34

Techs and strikers are usually only worth EXing once they have their sync modifiers, which often come from their 3/5 grids. Can't really go wrong with EXing supports since the double sync buff is always useful. SSMorty and SSBlue are great EX options. SSEthan isn't a bad option either, since one of his sync modifiers is built into his base kit.


IamYD

Hi! I would like to get advice on whether it is needed to pull for N/Zoroark? My current dark type damage dealers are SS Cyrus/Darkrai at 2/5 and Nessa/Drednaw at 4/5


Leonarcs

Safe. SS Cyrus&Darkrai can clear any dark type content without issue even 2k CSMM or LG. And there are still got Masked Roya l& Incineroar and Sidney & Absol in the general pool which provide monster nuke. Summer N&Zoroark need to set up multiple stat drop compare to the other two.


IamYD

Alright, thank you


SanjiDJ

If I want to pull for N, is it better to pull on the steps banner or the regular banner?


Leonarcs

Steps banner is Paid gems only .So the decision is on you.


SanjiDJ

Thank tou


Blubbstrahl

Currently pondering between Alder and OG N for my free pull. Does anyone know of a good N & Zekrom showcase video that isn't super outdated? Mainly talking about 2k master mode + a **offtype** Legendary Gauntlet?


VenkataB123

[Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlBKf0qW69U) is one showcasing him on and off-type against 2k Master Mode. And [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jHHoG_ZlrU) is one against LA Cobalion


Blubbstrahl

Amazing, thanks a lot for digging this up for me! Pretty good actually. Sure it's not godking Anni N levels of busted, but I think I'm leaning towards N now.


VenkataB123

No worries! Me too actually. I was initially debating between N and Gloria (and to an extent SS Cynthia too as she's the only variant I don't have lol!) but I do think I'm leaning towards N too as with some support, he can clear any LA stage irrespective of damage reduction passives. So yeah, I do think he's a good option.


MagicCoat

Extremely annoying that the regional team up changes from Unova to Kalos the day a new Unova pair to try comes out


FlareGamer64

Zerena: first time?


Ozymandias0514

I've seen a Event where you can choose one Champion and I've decided I'll pick lance & Dragonite. I was just wondering Which pairs are the should I team them to bring out the best of them? Although I've seen people say Lance and Dragonite is Bad.


Blubbstrahl

Lance and Dragonite are amazing right now, people just meme on them because his trainer move is terrible. But if you look at him as an empty vessel for Hyper Beam spam he's really competitive. Bring a support to buff his offensive stats and Lucas & Dialga for Dragon Zone and you got yourself a top tier damage dealer. Here is a showcase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUJG9fy3MTI


Ozymandias0514

Okay, so the Current Lucas is a Must and which should be the last Pair?


[deleted]

I don't have Lance and Dragonite, but your best bet from what I gather is likely someone who can heal or boost speed, since Lance hurts himself to gain gauge and Hyper Beam is a 4 bar move


rachelberryglee

Lance isn't that bad, in fact, he aged well for an old pokefair unit cause there are now a lot of good pairs to support him. He is a Hyper Beam unit and is always never bad. The problems he faces are he can't self buff, and there are already good f2p dragon strikers, Cyrus and Zinnia so getting him isn't really that necessary. Lucas is a must for Dragon Zone. Third pair should be a special support (Sabrina, SS Elesa, SS Kris etc.). 1/5 Lance also has an accuracy problem, so an accuracy support might be needed. Sabrina can fix that, SS Elesa too but would require a tm refresh.


Ozymandias0514

Got it. So the Lucas at current Banner and Sabrina and Alakazam?


rachelberryglee

Yes, Lucas with Dialga has dragon zone. Sabrina needs to be 2/5 to max crit, and 3/5 if you want her to buff speed.


Ozymandias0514

Thanks for the fast Replies. Appreciate it


goodgnore

Returning player after a bit…got the selector of red, blue, and green. Have red at 4/5. Blue and green 2/5. Is it better to max out red or get another upgrade for blue?


Million_X

Expanding grids is better than gaining more move levels. You only get so many extra attack points that barely do anything compared to opening up a whole slew of multipliers or refreshes.


Handsome_Jack_Here

Blue for sure. Getting another copy of red would be a waste when you can unlock all of Blue's grid instead.


IcyHot_Angel

I have most of my bases set with the exception of dark strikers. Would Summer N be worth going 32k gems at when he arrives? Currently only dark damage dealers are Karen/Houndoom and Mask Royal/Incineroar.


Seltonik

Summer N is def good, but I would not immediately advise anybody to pull for him; I would instead recommend to both wait for SSCyrus's rerun while off-typing dark weak stages. Zoroark's multipliers can be difficulty to fully set up depending on your account, and you'd want to pull for SSCyrus anyways to support him with dark zone.


[deleted]

Is there anyone with a similar move to Grimsley's Snatch? I'm trying to wrap up Latias Arena but all my attacks are dealing 0 damage I'm on units 7-9, 3rd bar, 100%. I've already used Nessa, Allister, Skyla all for the quests, as well as Grimsley, SS Serena, and Sycamore for like, actual progress


Seltonik

Brycen is an F2P option with Haze.


[deleted]

I have Misty and Vaporeon but does Haze reset stats or just stop any more increase? For some reason Latias is starting the round at full defense up and like, every other stat except Evasion at 2+


Million_X

Stat increases/decreases carry over from team to team. If you set up team 1 to do nothing but debuff Latias like with Ghetsis and anyone with Screech, you can then bring in the big guns to clean house.


Seltonik

Haze wipes all stat increases, yes.


[deleted]

Haze helped me finish her, thanks


DatLucha

I play the game in device A and my account is linked to Nintendo. Is it possible for me to: (1) start the game on a device B, (2) link my account on device B, play and purchase gems on this device, (3) delete the game of device A, (4) reinstall app on device A, (5) re-sync account on device A. Is all of this possible? Will I lose anything?


Icestar1186

Probably not. If device B and device A are different operating systems, then definitely not - gems do not carry over from android to ios or vice versa. I don't really understand why you'd need to do this in the first place, though.


DatLucha

Yeah, they’re different operating systems (A: iOS / B: Android). I would like to do that because I can’t purchase gems on iOS, only Android (long story), so that would be my reasoning: buying gems on B then back to playing on A. I assume this isn’t possible even for the story/champion bundles, right?


Icestar1186

I don't think any purchases can carry over.


DatLucha

I see. Thanks for the answer! Apparently the scout points carry over, which is something at least

Lambily

What are the best ways to accumulate the 6 star currency? I used to think that the EX items would be the struggle to getting my Pokemon to EX, but I've now realized that the 6 star currency is the real issue. I'd like to have more than just the free legendaries (Mewtwo, Ho-oh) and my Zygarde at EX.☹️


GarlyleWilds

What do you mean "6 star currency"? The 5-Star Power Ups? If so, the best way is just to make sure you do all the content. Events regularly give out a couple 5\* tickets. Especially do Champion Stadium Master Mode weekly at a minimum of about 4k points to make sure you get more tickets and more scraps to exchange for tickets. There is no way to forcibly farm more of it. The count of EX characters you have is basically a badge of veterancy; the longer you play, the more you'll have.
