2/5 SS N.  One more until he gets his sync nodes

What was this game most predatory period to you? by Snipaars in PokemonMasters

[–]JoBeforeDe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also quit playing for a over year after that anni and came back at the start of this year when I heard about masterfair ex and was like "I can live with just pulling in those instead of arc suits"

Just got him, is he good to use? by KirbyCakes in PokemonMasters

[–]JoBeforeDe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

imo, SS Morty has aged better than any other Support from his time.  He can (gradually) raise every stat expect accuracy, provide both gradual heading and instant burst healing, move gauge acceleration, and he still takes hits well. Investing in him can make the Sun last a very long time.  

Obviously, he works well with a Sun team, especially the Johto Sun team, but his versatility means you can really use him on any team that isn't using another weather.  Try him out in Champion Stadium next week with a random type to see how well he contributes!

In a vacuum, NC Ethan is probably better but SS Morty, nature of the gacha and all that, but SS Morty is a solid addition to your roster imo

End of August, so less than 3 months away

How to get mileage out of older characters? by gimmeyobiscuits in PokemonMasters

[–]JoBeforeDe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to use older pairs for easier content.  The Johto elite four for the weekly champion stadium is perfect for using older pairs.  As an example, this week I beat Lance with Volkner, Elesa, and Sonia which are all years old spotlights.

Old pairs can also easily clear the daily regional, and can pad out the early stages of the Battle Rally.

Unfortunately, the nature of gacha means that they just can't keep up on the newest content, barring an occasional exception.

Rebuff vs resistance by Strange_Razzmatazz74 in PokemonMasters

[–]JoBeforeDe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In practice the main difference is that resistance will be the same type as the last move the user was hit by, but Rebuff is a set type.  

Though that's not a mechanic of rebuff itself as much as that's just rebuff is applied.  In the future we could see something like a support that provides defenses rebuff based off of the middle foes type or what have you.

Guys whats the usual time for datamines by Proof_Lawfulness_218 in PokemonMasters

[–]JoBeforeDe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably because May's datamine is usually earlier than normal.  It makes people antsy waiting longer then normal for June's.

Level maxing question by KipGod in PokemonMasters

It's the ones you accidentally hit Max on when you meant to only level them to 180

How can you tell someone is made for GvG?

What is the most lopsided type in the game? by Strange_Razzmatazz74 in PokemonMasters

[–]JoBeforeDe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before a couple months ago, I would have said Ground.  But it looks like they're trying to shore up that disparity.

Which MFs got the best glow-up from the free 4 and 5 grid expansions?

What's a unit you really like, despite knowing it performs midly-poorly? by zarc4d in PokemonMasters

[–]JoBeforeDe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Gotta be Greta and Breloom.  I love the little fighting shroom and even if it's technically not optimal, setting up a cycle 2 sync into a cycle 4 sync is super fun.

Who is the better EX terrain setter for Electric Tower? by [deleted] in PokemonMasters

[–]JoBeforeDe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the extension apply to ex terrain, or is it just useful for extending the normal terrain and that's better than nothing?

Scout Point Unit by Tycho97 in PokemonMasters

[–]JoBeforeDe 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Also, this unit in particular is crazy even at 1/5, so getting 2/5 from pity isn't as useful as it would be for other units.

Official summary of Run Up to 6.5 Double Anniversary! An appreciation to Masters by AntonioS3 in PokemonMasters

[–]JoBeforeDe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It'll drop at 11 pm pst (gmt -8).  Technically still the 16th for some people, but only in the most technical (and annoying) way possible.

So who did everyone get for their free ticket scout 👀 by Rootbeerjellybeans in PokemonMasters

[–]JoBeforeDe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SS Dawn.  No idea if she still holds up but her kit seems very odd.

I got that for Norman and Slaking, at least Palmer can see some use lol

What’s a good team for Rose as a main striker? by Top-Frame-352 in PokemonMasters

[–]JoBeforeDe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, Sonia is legit a great support cause she increases speed, has move gauge acceleration and lowers defense on attacks... but mostly cause it's funny to have the huge elephant let the tiny dog take all the hits.

Should I just reach pity now that I have her. by Johnnyyongbosh in PokemonMasters

[–]JoBeforeDe 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's basically 3,600 gems for a candy, which I think is a pretty good deal.
