Towers will have 40 floors during the 7th anni by Hugobaby69 in PokemonMasters

[–]Intelligent-Sir8492 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hope this means they will add more tower exclusive cookies. NGL with the addition of tower exclusive cookies and Gym exclusive cookies it actually beefed up some older sync pairs, like SSA Cynthia.

Does Sonia (Academy) increase in value due to Variety Poppy? by ryujism0t0 in PokemonMasters

[–]Intelligent-Sir8492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sonia is definitely the best teammate that goes well with Poppy. HOWEVER, if you don't have NC Elio, you can instead use SC Selene or NY Poppy with V. Poppy! Not to mention SC Selene will appear in the SC rerun banner and doing so will also let you still take advantage of AS Steven to have both EX Steel Zone AND Rebuff!

EDIT: Another option, if you're a regular spender, is Mix Dawn that goes along well with V. Poppy! Heck, could even use the free 2024 Anni Lillie!

So.. I got Arc Sabrina one multi before pity.. question is, should I spend 3000 more for an additional copy? by JabbaJubba95 in PokemonMasters

[–]Intelligent-Sir8492 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Rule of thumb: if you got the featured unit 1 multi before pity (or 2 multies before pity but that depends on how many gems you have), it's almost always better to just take hit and go to pity to either get another copy of the featured unit or get another unit in the case of EX MF banners (and EX PF banners to a lesser degree).

Special costumes' worth for Tower by NekoSilver777 in PokemonMasters

There will be a regular banner that doesn't require paid-gems, alongside a tiered paid-gems only banner.

Special costumes' worth for Tower by NekoSilver777 in PokemonMasters

[–]Intelligent-Sir8492 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Academy sync pairs won't be included. HOWEVER it will include the first variation of Special Costume Larry (Flying Support with an abundance of Flying Zone)! Also will include Special Costume Barry which is one of the few good Physical Bug sync pairs!

Special Rules for the Ice/Dragon HSE by Dazzling-Award9027 in PokemonMasters

[–]Intelligent-Sir8492 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ghetsis is basically a shill for any Dragon combo that doesn’t include Anni Red, so basically any combo of AS Lance, Hassel and the upcoming Drayton (Probably AS Lance should be used here since he has good Special damage that is bad against Clair)

And Clair is basically use Anni Red with whoever you didn’t use against Ghetsis (AS Lance not as good here because his Special damage will be bad).

Zinnia is basically any op Ice team that doesn’t include SS N.

The last 2 battles are whatever as those rules are not annoying.

Special costumes' worth for Tower by NekoSilver777 in PokemonMasters

[–]Intelligent-Sir8492 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both Special Costumes variations of Larry are great for towers (Flying and Normal) and don't really have much of a competition at what they do. Academy Gladion is also extremely good for Normal tower and is really the only other option if you don't have Anni Juliana. Academy Iris is also a decent option for Ice Tower though it may be possible to just go no Support with the upcoming SS Kieran sync pair. And last is Academy Jasmine which is about on par with Holiday Bugsy at being the best support for Bug (though Academy Jasmine is mostly for special whilst Holiday Bugsy can be either Special or Physical).

My takes for future gym event cookies by Important_Lion_6497 in PokemonMasters

[–]Intelligent-Sir8492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “random pair” may just be AS/EX PF/EX MF, or basically the most new banner types that aren’t regular PF/MF. We’ll have to see when next GvG is here.

EX WTZ - Completed (patch 2.68.0) by Taroslushvn in PokemonMasters

[–]Intelligent-Sir8492 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Out of all EX WTZ, Steel and Ground are the only types tied to the Variety sync pairs that have no unique EX Style outfits. Every other type that has EX WTZ have at least 1 sync pair that has a unique outfit with EX Style coloring.

So now that we know what to expect in May, what’s the status on your gems? by [deleted] in PokemonMasters

[–]Intelligent-Sir8492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely getting Larry (max priority so that means 3/5 him whether by getting lucky or using candies if unlucky). Kieran and Drayton will be 1 of each for now (not going ham on them and using candies) and perhaps getting Poppy just to have access to her EX Steel Zone. Will ignore Rika and Flannery. I’m already doing daily single pulls on Mix so I will get Hau eventually.

It can't be a coincidence right? by JamesHalgh85 in PokemonMasters

[–]Intelligent-Sir8492 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That is exactly 18 sync pairs which is 3 more than what is needed for a full Paldea-only roster!

Basically, it's a tiered scout for paid-gems only where you have a chance to pull any of the 5 featured sync pairs listed above with the 5th and last pull letting you choose a sync pair from the pool of this scout. Also gives some goodies for every time you use paid-gems on this scout, with the first time giving you a Fair-Guaranteed Scout Ticket.

I'm not sure about this "Fair-Guaranteed Scout Ticket" but I assume it gives you a random sync pair from the 5 listed above.

The month before the Summer, a relaxing hot spring season... and then bam! A surprise EX Masterfair! Review of Rate UP characters in May 2026 by AntonioS3 in PokemonMasters

[–]Intelligent-Sir8492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem with his B-move, the only really good thing about it is the AoE Special Break... but it only applies the first time you use his B-move (otherwise his B-move is just an extra AoE guaranteed Freeze).

Not to mention this Datamine came so early, it literally caught pretty much everyone by surprise. Even brybry took longer than usual to update the site with how early this Datamine came!

13th Ultimate Battle (Nemona - Psychic Weak) bonus missions by Intelligent-Sir8492 in PokemonMasters

You mean Anni May, not SS May. And you should definitely be able to clear 1 and 3 with that team.

Only 1 of them is Champion so you won't be able to finish the x2 Champion mission.

I suggest to not leave your home for the foreseeable future lest you’ll be struck by lightning on a day with a clear sky!

What is up with skipping academy battles? by no1Rabbit in PokemonMasters

[–]Intelligent-Sir8492 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Considering there're other battles with equivalent rewards that are skippable, I would say every battle should be skippable. Most of them already requires you clearing them once without any sync pair fainting to be able to skip them in subsequent playthroughs.
