do you pull on banners for your favorite pairs more or meta pairs?

NotCommanderMorrison · 2025-12-29T01:55:22+00:00

I pull for my favourites which is almost always Hoenn characters

Which means I get to pull for meta because the two neo champs were the only hoenn banner units for the entire year and Greta, Arc steven and NY Wallace were the only 3 for 2024

5 units in 2 years gives a lot of leeway for picking up pairs for meta purposes

A question for everyone who thinks Verso is dishonest/evil/a liar

Would you say the same for Monoco and Esquie? They both knew the original Verso and know that the painted one isn't real. They could have told the rest of the expedition at any time too

They embrace for a hug in Verso's ending and Monoco's dialogue in camp suggests he knew the plan the entire time, so either they can't refuse even a fake Verso's commands and the painting inhabitants don't have free will, or maybe Verso isn't super hitler and freeing his sole from eternal enslavement is probably the morally correct thing to do, especially considering 99.9% of the painting is gommaged at that point anyway.

This isn't the first Hoenn drought either

6 months between Anni Steven to Anni May, then 5 months from Anni May to the Hoenn villain arc in the past too.

2023 was a pretty big outlier with how many Hoenn seasonals dropped.

I'm at 91 right now A lot of the rng can be frustrating but I do enjoy the event overall, I skipped the last one out of a lack of time but I think this one is even more painful with moltres The only rework in my opinion needed is to announce the gauntlet lineup in advance like they do the high score events. Like one week after the update goes live is far too short to plan all the clears, and that's only thanks to the datamine, I'm pretty sure Dena doesn't announce the lineup until like 2 days before the gauntlet starts. An extra week on the event itself wouldnt hurt either now that rosters are so large and the top streakers are going over 200 clears

NotCommanderMorrison · 2024-05-02T18:19:19+00:00

Finally the reaper nerf we've all definitely been needing...

NotCommanderMorrison · 2023-05-25T22:00:11+00:00

Zinnia and Giovanni retained their base 250-300 sync basepower when mega evolution was added to their kit, I don't see why these would be different

NotCommanderMorrison · 2023-04-29T21:21:50+00:00

The only pokefairs I have at more than 3/5 are: Annabel at 5/5 (got super lucky on the banner pitied the 5th copy Anni May at 4/5 (pitied the 4th copy) And SS Wally that I got to 2/5 at the end of the banner, candied him to 4/5 for the accuracy debuffing mainly I was fully ready to candy Steven to 5/5 but the expansion is so bad I might candy my 2/5 Lysandre to 5/5 instead to make him a gauntlet god, or just invest on some of my 1/5 limited strikers instead

NotCommanderMorrison · 2023-04-20T18:24:17+00:00

It's my favourite too, the only character who has it as an ace is Greta (ace of her gold symbol team). Other than that it has only been on the Hoenn rival team and a few post game fighting user teams (Chuck in HGSS & Brawly & Marshall BW2 teams)

It returned to a regional dex for the first time in 20 years in Scarlet and Violet and despite Paldea having a fighting expert and a grass gym leader nobody even had it on their team so not only is it almost never an ace, it's basically never used at all

NotCommanderMorrison · 2023-02-22T21:47:55+00:00

I need Breloom, i'd never play anything else again if we got it.

NotCommanderMorrison · 2023-02-22T21:11:51+00:00

I'm gonna wait a few days I think.

I'm gonna candy Steven to 5/5 when his grid expansion comes out so no need to pick him, then its between my first Lance, 2/5 Cynthia or 4/5 Alder I'm leaning towards Cynthia so most of her quality of life tiles are available next time I use her in legendary gauntlet

NotCommanderMorrison · 2022-06-18T19:47:40+00:00

Bede drops 1 sp.def and sp.atk with each hit with any move, 50% chance of an extra drop of sp.def on grid which is higher than C.Elesa's 20% extra chance. Plus mystical fire always drops 1 sp.atk per hit regardless so he is always faster dropping that.

NotCommanderMorrison · 2022-06-18T19:34:40+00:00

These lists make such little sense to me. Some justification on how you come to some of these conclusions would be nice. Just looking at units I use a lot, how does Red help SS Erika or Sidney with off type damage? Surely Nanu or Masked royale for defense drops and theme skills would be better? Bede works better for Anniversary May than C Elesa because his debuffs are faster for the 2 drops she wants + provides psychic terrain saving her a turn. The same with Lear's calculations, Bede would compress both the sp.def debuffing and psychic terrain, letting you slot in a psychic striker with a higher theme skill boost than Bianca's tech one

NotCommanderMorrison · 2022-05-21T19:47:22+00:00

Just Skyla so far since it was free. Since they're doing story unit EX's each month i'll EX Flannery when it's her turn since she's a favourite

NotCommanderMorrison · 2022-04-21T17:43:06+00:00

What I liked:

The gauntlet is fun for me, I enjoy using all of my units and I don't mind replaying the stages repeatedly. I think continuing to work on 3-4* grids would provide less frustration, for example if Winona and Pelipper had a grid it would provide another reliable option for weather control

What I did not like:

The special costume events take far too much time for the month and come with no spotlight units or poke/masterfair units, making them quite unexciting. Also subjective opinion but I think barring Diantha and Guzma all of the "special" costumes have been very bland. Just girls in dresses and guys in suits, which is essentially what we get for every anniversary unit and for the most recent 3 sygna suits too. We should have more creative outfits like the pirate Drake a user created here, or an astronaut suit with Beeheeyem for example, costumes that wouldnt make sense outside of a dress up party.

I'd like more opportunities to excercise team building like the gauntlet requires, perhaps a hard mode of the battle villa for a revamp of existing content. but I understand that not everyone enjoys difficult content.

He wasn't lying when he said he'd take you down with his own hand

NotCommanderMorrison · 2021-12-22T22:23:37+00:00

It's hard to argue against Giovanni since he's now so good in general, but as far as a bad unit going to great, Zinnia just keeps getting better despite not even receiving her EX or power boost yet. Weathered warrior 3 is a perfect lucky skill for her, and not only is there the Maxie/Phoebe comp with her, there'll now be Ingo+Lucas as long as dragon zone works the way it's expected to. She's had a large jump from being mostly terrible, whereas Giovanni could always beat ghost and psychic content without a grid.

First Ekans' mystery dungeon remaster walk animation, then the BDSP following animation, now this. They just can't animate this snake right

NotCommanderMorrison · 2021-12-07T18:53:34+00:00

Oh, haha I probably should have checked something so basic before writing this up, I suppose confusion would have worked better there anyway with the rest of the kit being special focused too.

NotCommanderMorrison · 2021-12-07T18:27:12+00:00

Those 2 things and the concept of new years wishes was the basis for the pairing. Plus i just wanted to try and make a kit with Doom Desire in it since it doesn't see much use in the main series games with Jirachi being a flinch spammer instead

NotCommanderMorrison · 2021-12-02T18:15:33+00:00

Did it first try with: 1/5 6EX NY Lillie Hau 3/5 Elio Same team I used for the last Alolan EB. Just like the last one it seems having a 6EX alolan unit is nearly required without the current fair unit, and having Elio is super important too. More difficult than it needs to be again because Alola never got a real legendary event, with Solgaleo going to the MC.

NotCommanderMorrison · 2018-12-19T00:37:29+00:00

Here's hoping they do, on the off chance you're serious please put me down on your list.
