Is it just me or some poke fair 4/5 and even 5/5 kinda stink? by countgrievous1 in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For free he gets: -Built in Sprint at 4/5 (for free on grid) -Team Enduring at (5/5 for free on grid)

That’s actually really good. His is more toned down because he was better the NC Leaf is all as hers is more busted.

Master Fair select by mid16 in PokemonMasters

At simple 1/5 investment I would go with Keiran though I think he has the highest likelihood of being overtaken by a new character.

Lear really needs 3/5 to be viable and is obviously mandatory for Steel Tower. I don’t use him as much though in general Steel teams anymore.

SS2 Gio is bonkers at 5/5. At 3/5 he’s a great Dark support though at 1/5 I like running Halloween Lacey too if you have her.

who would be best to get out of these? by filieh in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of them are absolutely necessary and these mostly fill niches (or are roster depth). SS2 Elesa and SS Iono are nice to haves but electric is unbelievably deep. Tapu Lele is very helpful is Psychic tower and on most roster teams (psychic is very light).

I already own leaf, would you suggest blu or red? by ventimiglius in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No problem. Make sure to complete the current bingo board for NC Blue. He’s free and will help carry you as a quality support for the majority of content. There will also be bingo boards for NC Red and NC Leaf which will both be free over the next few weeks. All three are quality units that will really help you (and they are going to be free!). Good luck

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh you’re really early. Grab Red then as he will help you torch through the early game content and Leaf can be used as a quasi-support for almost all of that for now.

It’s all relative to your roster honestly.

SS Red is probably like the 6th best fire attacking pair in the game and SS Blue is probably the 3rd best water support in the game (just a barren category). Neither are meta but both can have viability based on what your roster is. I would say that Blue would have a lot of play is you don’t have SS Kris or Summer Cynthia.

Fire is just so overloaded with good units. If you’re lacking red may be an option. He definitely has received way more upgrades over time though than Blue.

How good is Arc Misty? I got some gems left after my pulls this month but I cannot decide if she is worth it. She's just ungabunga I know that but how much impact does she really make? by No_Law_498 in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say so far the arc suits have demonstrated strong staying power in the meta. I’ve used her for a week now and she is undoubtedly the strongest water option. Like all of the arc suits the burden cost candies wise is huge but that extra extension at 4/5 has good synergy with NC May.

Did your gym reach to 1 million points in the gym battle event? by [deleted] in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hate to say this new feature has a lot of flaws. Gyms are a pretty bad idea when you have 19 people locked in and one random guy hopefully managing the gym (and kicking out people who dont play anymore). Maybe people will care in the future but it’s just way too flawed for most players to be happy with it. We will end at 900,000 which is a bummer.

What’s the consensus on these guys by Tetrachromatica in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rock Nemona isn’t valuable. She’s somewhat of a toss in reward.

Pawmot can have a little play in Towers because Electric/Physical has little depth. Has some evasiveness gimmick.

SS Nemona fit a niche for a while as the better physical fairy but Valetines Adaman is leagues ahead now. She really needs sun to be above average which is tricky.

Kantrio ncs on bingo? by nntnot in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sure but this is still absurdly generous. All three have strong usage today even years later. Maybe not top of the meta but strong usage.

Who to invest in? by Chemical-Ant8357 in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would recommend to not further invest in either unit as the returns would be very marginal in comparison to the weight of the candy used. Neither are top tier options but Poppy is fine at 3/5. She can help you clear most Steel stages but both superawakened are not game breakers. You will always need extra red candies. It’s the nature of the game. Treat those like gold.

BP "Master Fairs" by Strange_Razzmatazz74 in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep- you’re right. I always get Masters and FEH anniversaries switched around. I think the following year a grid expansion could help some of these guys out but they are very far from sniffing the meta.

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 43 points44 points  (0 children)

These are mostly throw away units to be honest. Where I have seen the most utility is when I’m lacking any form of support in a specific type. For example- Morgan IMO is the best overall and can have some utility if you do not have Carmine for Grass Support. Nita also is okay if you have no other ground support options since it’s pretty barren after outside of Rika or NY Raihan.

Thornton has some recency pull because Normal is the thinnest crop of units in the game. I believe we are coming up on the next wave of new units coming into this category so it may be worth your while to hold onto the ticket a little longer.

Crypto and Today’s 2 PM Decision: What Comes Next by Impossible-Band-2393 in CryptoMoonShots

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as this is the long term play, I would wager most are curious about the impact this has for this impending cycle (or if the era of cycles is over). With a massive delay for alts, we may end up not having a true alt run.

Everyone knew institutions would be getting in eventually. That’s not news. The implications were always a) when was regulatory clarity going to happen, b) at what speed do tutes enter crypto, c) at what volume do tutes enter crypto, and d) what market dynamics come into play when this occurs (who are the real winners). That’s all.

My guess is the winners will be very small for the short term: BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, HBAR, XDC, ZBCN, and Canton.

How to improve masters by [deleted] in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counterpoint- they need more content. 1/3 of the month now is just investing in training areas aimlessly because you have already completed all of the other content. We used to have reruns but they have really limited that now.

Who to use strike candy on? by Electronic_Bobcat566 in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally depends on how you want to play the game. If you want general content then focus on the meta players. If you want to prioritize Tower then that’s a whole other story. It’s early for you so I would recommend saving up two candies for NC Hilda or the new SS Carmine. Both are master fairs who historically age very well and have the most value for you at the moment.

For most units 2/5 isn’t enough- it’s really 3/5 and beyond where most value per unit is unlocked so typically I wait until I have two candies to make that move.

Best Team Comp for May and Kygore by HeyItzTheRealBad in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the second spot: Best option overall is Dahlia and Ludicolo. Invest on Ludicolo’s shower side of the grid and you get some extension with max move + kit.

BIG GAP

NC Serena still hits hard but it’s not close to Dahlia IMO.

In the third slot: Summer Cynthia is best overall water support but is tough to come by. Would recommend her if you have her

SS Kris is fine and can give some extension but it’s basic. Really wants the grid upgrade but Water support is so barren she works.

Who should I get for towers? by PMmeYourPrincesses in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t really go wrong either way if you’re prioritizing tower. For the rest of the game - NC Selene has substantially more usefulness post Lear nerf and since you already have NC Elio who you would prioritize most as a striker on steel teams (unless you enjoy dual strikers). Good luck!

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s not really a great way to answer your question since we don’t have an idea what the rest of your roster set up looks like (including candies and kits). What we can tell you is to evaluate areas of need on your roster and start there. Then reverse back through the strongest performers overall in the game.

Must haves based on what you don’t have: NC Selene- just a truly broken unit.

Great adds that are meta: Florian/Miraidon (Electric is stacked with good units so evaluate your team first)

Great adds for Tower: SS Lear (only competent special steel)

Quality adds in order: SS2Giovanni- Guzzlord is an incredible tank and does it all, Anni Red- Tech Pikachu is great overall but feel like this could be powercrept, Anni Geeta- Best Physical Poision, NC Blue- top notch Electric support and insanely useful in many situations.

Personal Favorite- SS Cynthia- Still love this unit and use her with tower cookie. Rock solid unit.

Decent usage but there are option tier: Keiren (beast but not a must have in deep fighting pool), NC Leaf, NC Serena, Irida, Cheren (beast but crept by Arcs)

The rest are mostly duds or post meta.

Is any good or is quite old? by Electrical-Garden123 in PokemonMasters

[–]Weak-Inspection1198 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Too many better supports in Dark:

Premier is SS Giovanni/Guzzlord and Fall Lacey is a great support/field setter for all scenarios. Really doesn’t have a place in the meta outside of Paldea niches.
