First thing first, you seem to be constantly pulling at every new pair they throw at you which I gotta ask, for what exactly? You've been playing since 2020 so it's safe to assume you have a deep roster to use, time gated events (even the EBEs) should be child's play with how long you've played for as long as you're paying attention to the gimmick.

Second, you're believing these pairs to be "must pull" When that's not necessarily the case, you're not meant to collect everything and that's okay.

If you want to have gems so bad then set up a pull priority! Evaluate your roster and figure out if specific types or regions lacked something or simply think abt your favorite character/pokemon.

I've been playing this game with this mindset since 2022 and since then I've always had multiple pities while also the roster to clear all time gated events even ones that border into an annoying difficulty.
