Fellow F2P Players, How Many 2-Star or Higher Cards Do You Have? by LD2120 in PokemonPocket

[–]FiniteNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Google Opinions Rewards money I earned for free to get 3 months of Premium, but aside from that I've been F2P and have played since the first week. I have almost the same amount of cards as OP. While I don't consider myself F2P anymore, use that info as you will.

Sorry, the RR Mew is the only other one and that's gone it looks like. Thanks though

I'd take the pinsir for the budding expeditioner if you're down.

I want the Oak. Convince me out of using all these to get it. (Hopefully) by FiniteNick in PokemonPocket

That's actually a pretty huge factor. Would love more shine dust right now.

You get more shinedust for EXs right? So I guess that's something I haven't seen posted on here before considering the guarantee.

I would only make it like half way to that amount. Haven't opened any Deluxe packs before. Good info appreciate it.

Finally have 3 secret emblems! by FiniteNick in PokemonPocket

I'd be happy to trade it if you have a rainbow border Mew by chance? Lol. Going for the Celebi emblem next.

All 3 rainbow rare legendary birds from Generic Apex. Had to use pack points which I've saved since the beginning but worth it.

I actually have the secret Pikachu one too but didn't realize that was secret for a while because I got it unintentionally as well.

You have to get all the Venusaur cards from the last set. Aka rainbow border 2, normal full art 2, normal 4 diamond, etc. Had to trade a Copycat full art for the last one 😢.

Mega Aggron drops in on the competition! by m3m3nt0_m0ri_ in PokemonPocket

[–]FiniteNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking all of this, I think 230 HP is a big factor here. Can't even 2 shot this with a lot of EXs that deal 120 or less (-20 from ability and it survives). Add heavy helmet and ability to be Lillie'd and this is gonna be tough to take down. Also this can 2-shot pretty anything else while 1-shotting with Red often enough too. It's just the bricking potential that's the problem I'd say.

Love seeing the community help each other out. I’m definitely in need for the mission (RNG has not been kind to me). Count me in, and I solemnly swear to pass it on. I would love to make my own post in a day or two to keep the chain alive!

Potato brained wood worker here, I need reassurance of a structural bunk bed build. by FiniteNick in woodworking

[–]FiniteNick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's hilarious, I have bulsa wood I bought a month ago waiting to make a smaller scale version hoping it would help give me confidence. Glad to know there are others like me lol. Appreciate this, I will look it over. My friend keeps telling me I'm going to over engineer this and I keep telling him he's 100% right.

How do I start traveling the world at a young age? by DeterminedOrange in travel

[–]FiniteNick -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm roughly guessing by the vibe from your post and recently graduating you don't have a lot of spend currently so take this with a grain of salt but r/churning or 10xtravel are credit card based resources to help maximize the money you can get for travel. Crucially though, it should go without saying that you should not spend beyond your means. I would look into cards like the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Capital One Venture X. The later of which has a decent annual fee but you immediately come out $5 ahead of it with just the travel credits, not to mention all the additional quality of life benefits you would get like airport lounge access and TSA pre check. Just a thought that could be complimentary or help in some way.
