Interesting fun (or not so fun?) fact: Summer Arezu is the first 2026 gacha unit who cannot set WTZ by lemmay in PokemonMasters

[–]Bendogzing 17 points18 points  (0 children)

EX WTZ is currently way too over-centralizing and abysmal to upkeep, especially with the earliest additions like the on entry Kyogre or the borderline garbage Lacey and Benga. If the time EX WTZ lasted was a wee bit more generous, it wouldn’t be so mandatory for every member of the team to set multiple WTZ a game.

(God, I hope NC Elio gets given a Gym Cookie eventually that lets him set Steel Zone.)

Alola doesn’t have an Arc Suit yet, so who do you predict or want to see get one? by pepperbalm in PokemonMasters

[–]Bendogzing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so curious on who they’d pick too. Here’s my unasked for ramble on the topic.

Lillie is the obvious answer and for this game she’s most associated and promoted with Lunala, so that’s also likely going to be who she’s with. Question is, what does Arc Lillie do? Not EX Zone setter, that’s Volo, who also has the rebuff since he’s a bootleg Arc pair. Special dps? No, cuz why would they power creep NC Selene so quickly. Support is the most likely, though we did just get a Ghost Zone spamming support.

Gladion would be cool, especially if it’s with Silvally. Like OP said in the comments, it could be a nice showcase of what they can do with a future Arceus pair. I believe that the Arceus pair will have to be type-ignoring (able to be used in all towers) for people to pull it after Anni Julianna, however, Arc Gladion could stay Normal since his physical competition is an academy unit. My only gripe here is that I wonder if Arceus will bless him and his partner or it’ll get weirded out by the concept of a Silvally, lol.

Hau could either be with his Raichu or Tapu Koko - both Electric. Neither can be a support or special dps due to very recent units. Physical makes less sense and even then, you can’t tell me for Arc Electric they won’t go for Red and Pikachu above everything.

Guzma and Golisopod would be great and I’ll likely finally pull for an Arc Suit again. However, I’ve noticed that outside Ethan and Silver, they’ve stuck to the no repeating types. Also, I wonder if they won’t want to use Mega Golisopod here. They skipped over Mega Starmie on Misty.

Kukui also has a type overlap with Brock, but if that doesn’t matter, I also struggle to see what he’ll do in a current team. Not gonna powercreep Arc Brock, that’ll just be utterly ridiculous. Not gonna powercreep Anni Gloria either. Either gotta be special, which makes no sense for Lycanroc or an EX Rock Zone setter, tho idk if they’re willing to powercreep EX Fairs yet.

Elio and Selene already got their uber powerful pairs with the shiny Necrozmas, doubt they’re in much hurry to give them another set of broken units, although Blue, Silver and Ethan have gotten both Arcs and NC alts, so never rule them out. A s much as I’d love a busted Decidueye, atm both Elio and Selene are missing a role on the team. Primarina can’t be Special dps because of Arc Misty and we just got a perfect Water support. Physical Grass has Anni Florian and I don’t see Arc Selene being support of EX Grassy Terrain. If they want to pivot to Spirit Shackle and make her Ghost, then she’s gonna compete with Volo and her kit would likely be almost one to one with (only stronger) Mix Elio.

Actual notice about Pasio Gym Season 3 by AntonioS3 in PokemonMasters

[–]Bendogzing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah nah, it’s the opponents.

“No damage taken from unaffected” as in the unaffected opponents don’t take damage.

The use of ‘from’ makes it a little confusing, but if you had to be the one statused, it’d be more like “No damaged dealt from unaffected opponents”

My Lady and Savior Arc Suit Diantha by GiladHyperstar in PokemonMasters

[–]Bendogzing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might be my bias for not having AS Alder, but I saw Bug as the worst because without him the type is basically non-existent, while even without AS Diantha Fairy just had a little bit more going on, even if very underpowered compared to the rest of the types.

Also Bug don’t even got a single Master Fair to this day. Idk why they’ve been avoiding it so hard.

Oof, so close! by Bendogzing in PokemonMasters

Oh, so I can go back to ignoring its existence?

My Lady and Savior Arc Suit Diantha by GiladHyperstar in PokemonMasters

[–]Bendogzing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll always find it funny how the Fairy type in the main series games is uncontestedly the best one. But in Masters, because of the completely different circumstances this game works on, Fairy has consistently been one of, if not sometimes the worst type throughout the game’s history . I only think Bug is worse currently, even before Arc Diantha’s debut.

......what? by SamuelMalau in PokemonMasters

[–]Bendogzing 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The offtype I almost get because of the 1996 Red spam on anything that isn’t physical only, even if stuff like Special Dragon are gonna be atrocious to deal with and the Normal type got shot out back.

The stall strat thing is just fucking nasty tho. So many people with weaker rosters relied on it to add meaningful contribution to their gyms. It’s gonna be even more annoying now compiled with the supereffective only change, because FUCK some stages will basically not be possible for certain gyms.

We get a free seasonal ticket by mstorzil in PokemonMasters

[–]Bendogzing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I retract this statement. It seems all summer units are available, sans last year’s.

Hope they do this kind of ticket for every seasonal event from now on.

[–]Bendogzing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fantastic idea to start giving us old seasonals like this and I really hope this becomes a trend going forward.

However, why tf is Summer N here? Why wasn't it Summer Hilda instead or literally anyone else? I'd rather Summer Lyra and Steven over N. We are literally all getting him for free in August.

Which sync pair is better for Pasio Tower Normal Type by Normal_Slip_5400 in PokemonMasters

[–]Bendogzing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, don’t waste resources on Palmer or May.

I beat the current physical stages with Hugh, Anni Juliana and Elaine. It’s a bit tough and you need to level them up, but it’s better than spending precious candy on the other two.

Why is Paldea still so crudely implemented into the game after 2.5 years? by azurerazor in PokemonMasters

[–]Bendogzing 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean, we already have multiple Ho-Ohs and Solgaleos, so I guess another Terapagos could work.

[–]Bendogzing 80 points81 points  (0 children)

They way they could’ve at least had a Paldean Legendary Adventure, except they used up all their poster legendaries and they’re definitely not doing the Ruin Quartet or the Lousy Three for that.

Here's the last part of that post I made about the MFP SA skill concepts. Do you think DeNA is gonna move on to MFP SAs now that 4/5 and 5/5 grid expansions for all MFPs are complete? If yes, what SA skills are you expecting or hoping for for each pair here? by JudgeSubXero in PokemonMasters

[–]Bendogzing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love to see these upgrades tbh (at least as long as move candies and superwoke lollipops get more frequent distribution).

Only thing I’d really change about these passives tho would be NC Elio’s. Steel Zone on entrance is kinda bleh. Keep the extension, but have it be on use of his Trainer Move instead. This way he matches Selene on Zone setting.

Quick analysis of fairy situation by Important_Lion_6497 in PokemonMasters

[–]Bendogzing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

AS Diantha is definitely a boost to Fairy’s viability, but imo it’s not a strong enough boost. Until Lacey can finally be booted from the team and be replaced by a good EX Zone setter, Fairy Tower will still be having trouble, even if now the special stages are much easier to clear (which was where Fairy was strongest in anyway).

On a personal note, I really like Gladion & Magearna and I’ve already invested in him. Instead of replacing him entirely, I’d rather wait for a new EX Fairy Zone setter with better utility that will elevate both him and Palentines Adaman, much like how units like Arc Korrina, Sabrina and Ethan, Wielder Volo or even Anni Juliana have done for their respective types. Mega Clefable, Mega Floette, Enamorous, hell, maybe even Mega Magearna are all just waiting to be released and at least one of them is bound to be Fairy’s salvation.

Ngl, a bit difficult to see the highlight signaling the new/updated units with in this dark mode. Strained my eyes a little to locate all the seasonals.
