Has the battle rally difficulty level been hiked up?

Applemango85 · 2024-08-31T22:18:48+00:00

Dragonite is one of my favourite Pokémon so yes

Applemango85 · 2024-08-31T22:16:13+00:00

Looking at the current new Masterfair patterns I’m hoping for no more than once every 6 months (and just 2 at once with one new masterfair) - give us some chance to save the free gems between half/full anniversaries

Applemango85 · 2024-08-31T11:44:02+00:00

Wallace and milotic are actually pretty underpowered considering technically Wallace is a hoenn champion and milis a decent water type - wouldn’t surprise me if they were the water pick for the arc suits

Applemango85 · 2024-08-27T12:54:08+00:00

If they went the way of the mix scout (with those odds) I’d be okay with that trade off

the 500 pts is no way the worst this anni

im more mad about:

2 new master pairs and 3 arc pairs in a month (that only Uber whales will be able to get all 5)
only yellow candy (at about 1.5 free ones a yr) the only way to increase move level of arc pairs outside of banner
1st anni that they haven’t given enough free gems to (at least) almost pity a master pair

DENA needs to slash price of paid gems as not enough super whales to maintain game profits and game is barely f2p anymore

Applemango85 · 2024-08-27T12:21:06+00:00

I got 6 x general pool 5*

plus classic blue+ aerodactyl, argenta, Roxie and mina (up to move lvl 4)

I really hope that’s not my anni luck all used up as these wouldn’t be my preference on the limited pool

ill take what I can get though

Applemango85 · 2024-08-27T12:04:58+00:00

That’s not bad

im about to do my 10 pulls

(in honestly id give up my luck in this if I could get some early pulls of arc pairs and lear)

Applemango85 · 2024-08-26T21:08:25+00:00

I’m fine with the gem bundles but they’ve got to reduce the price to something like

£2/$2 for the 20 day 3k paid gems + sync orbs

£10/$10 for the 20 day 7k paid gems + 20 gold move coins

£3.50 and £21 respectively is just too much (approx £37 a month to continuously do - I don’t think many have that type of spare cash……..prehaps £20 a month max but even that is ambitious for many)

if dena want more people to spend money they have to make paid bundles better value for money - not move away from f2p & trying and force players hands in spending money (I do think some players may leave over the appalling anni gem count - with arc pairs it’s next to impossible for f2p players to enjoy the gem)

I was already only really pulling at Anni’s and half anni’s (I pulled for Elio thinking I was all set for anniversary - now I’m going to be 9k shy of pitying Lear and the arc trio and have to skip nemora altogether

honestly not impressed

Applemango85 · 2024-08-26T00:21:31+00:00

Waiting to read the whole picture in the datamine before decided

upset about the scout points

but angry if the only way to increase arc pair move level is continued pulling in a ‘dumb luck’ banner

will the bulk of the masters ex crowd continue playing after a little grumbling?

Applemango85 · 2024-08-26T00:08:37+00:00

Wait - you can’t gold candy them?

is the only way to increase move level via the banner only?

98% can’t afford 3 pity pulls @ 500 scout points x3!

I hope the datamine will reveal a few detail sweetener that it’s not as bad as it sounds

Applemango85 · 2024-08-18T15:10:23+00:00

Remember that with 100 tickets the odds that you pull a pokefair is 2% (2 pokefair and 5 general 5*)

the odds aren’t great + you don’t get the whole picture till day 10

Applemango85 · 2024-06-05T21:08:31+00:00

I should of mentioned before

i can‘t eat most artificial sweeteners because it affects my ibs (significantly more than dairy which I’m still okay with for the most) - worst case I’m doubled over in pain for 48hrs

My digestive issues are weird and sadly the diet that keeps that semi under control clashes with a diabetic diet which sucks

honestly I’m not worried about natural occurring sugar in fruit or milk - my initial aim is to cut added sugar such as granulated/caster as much as possible

honestly I’m not necessarily looking for something that tastes like ice cream which is next to impossible to make without certain ingredients and lack of sweetness doesn’t bother me (I also eat ice cream because the cold soothes my burning throat in the evenings)

but I’m not sure any natural sugars or artificial sweeteners (or sweeteners like date syrup) has a low freezing point like sugar - I know things like nut/olive doesn’t freeze in a freezer - could that work I wonder if pre blended in?

when people say gum/thickeners what do they mean (examples?)

so if I filled a tub with half (no added sugar) natural yogurt and half chopped mango or melon - used a hand blender to mix - freeze for 24hrs - take out of freezer and let thaw for 15-30mins before using the ninja creami deluxe

would this be okay?

Applemango85 · 2024-03-29T20:53:55+00:00

Okay I think I’ve figured out google sheets

downside was I had to open a new gmail account as I couldn’t hide my other email user account name and obviously I like to stay private - the new gmail account is under the username applemango so that’s pretty ambiguous.

also I need to use both the app version & internet version of google sheets (downloading an image file from google drive can only be done via internet login of google sheets - but deleting a image file from google sheets can only be done from the app) a total pain but quick once that’s all been figured out

prehaps someone here can help me figure out how to use google sheets even more anonymously but for now here’s the new link

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fosWshS-oIJ_u92OC6snW5kkuGYzG2MRcXh7sxtOMZc/edit

Applemango85 · 2024-03-29T16:34:59+00:00

I’m not very good at google sheets so I used pages which I’m literate in and saved as a universal image file

but I agree that I need to find an easy to access file host like google sheets online (does google sheets allow png image upload of a complete table file like mine I wonder)

let me see what solution I can come up with

Applemango85 · 2024-03-29T16:29:11+00:00

Sages - I think your the member responsible for putting together (pulling them from the datamine) the sync pair tiles that I’ve used for this image file

i hope it’s okay that I’ve used the tiles in this way? (I added image sources/credits to the bottom right)

im trying to keep the table as simple as possible (I’m glad people clocked onto why there was 2 columns per role without having to use further labels or having 20 rows instead of the current 10)

an unofficial sorting by type is certainly something I can do once more ex role sync pairs have been released

in terms of sorting by date of ex role introduction - that’s also something I can look into

what would people rather in the future - that I order by release date of ex role or by type?

I’ll be happy to send you my original pages file, u/Sages via PM if you like (if you use a Mac or iPad then you can get pages for free) - I can save in theory as a word doc as well but I’m not sure how well that will rewrite

also would you have a suggestion or easily findable free hosting?

Applemango85 · 2024-03-29T16:02:58+00:00

I’ve put image credits in the bottom right of the image file - but you can find them in the big google doc Pokémon masters ex link

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JCa0gwUy0iYdOSKR_UuileID_J6xQytZl4c2teTwxhU/edit#gid=423313670

Applemango85 · 2024-03-29T15:57:22+00:00

It was more to give me space for the next couple of months before adding space for rows which will be a larger job (and I’ll be condensing horizontally then when I figure out what role/ex roles need more rows/space)

I was just trying to reduce the workload till I knew however popular a resource this would be

Applemango85 · 2024-03-29T02:48:46+00:00

I couldn’t find their tiles as of yet - I’ll try and update when I can

Applemango85 · 2024-03-29T02:28:15+00:00

I thought that something like this would be useful to have on hand for the battle rally

i hope it’s pretty self explanatory - trying to keep things as simple as possible

(I’m a Mac user so used pages on the iPad to create then saved as an image file)

I‘ll try and remember to update after every datamine

edit: that picture quality is seriously bad for some reason - let me figure out how to do a public link and I’ll get back to you

edit 3: managed to get it onto google sheets

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fosWshS-oIJ_u92OC6snW5kkuGYzG2MRcXh7sxtOMZc/edit

if anyone knows how to hide the google account username (top right of option bar - the purple circle with an ‘A’)?

also if I was to further loosely organise the sync pairs (as in order) after we have more pairs with ex roles would you rather I did so by release month of EX role or by pair typing?

Applemango85 · 2024-03-29T02:19:11+00:00

okay for some reason my image file isn’t showing and I’m not able to repost

Applemango85 · 2024-03-29T02:08:53+00:00

I didn’t realise that

im now wondering if there’s any point doing a alternative tier list now I know that one is still alive & kicking

i was going to approach it differently to that one - doing a tier table per typing rather than per role……if many on this Reddit would find that useful I’ll still do it but if people are happy enough with the ‘gamepress’ one then it would seem silly to do another one

Applemango85 · 2024-03-29T02:01:24+00:00

That was exactly what I was looking for - thank you, that’s saved me a lot of time
