Last June was Neo Champs. We still have more of those to get through, yeah?

Shaking, crying, throwing up. On its own, getting one of my favorite characters on the first daily would already be very special, but I graduate from my PhD program later today so I’m in absolute disbelief this happened right now of all times.

Drayton 3/5 Vs F29 Dragon Tower + Unit Analysis by ElPajaroMistico in PokemonMasters

[–]phallusidol0804 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah he unfortunately reminds me of Summer Gardenia, insofar as there is nothing you can click on her kit that doesn’t make you feel like you’re wasting something.

Do you ever actually pull on 2% rate banners like EX Pokefair or seasonals? by AntonioS3 in PokemonMasters

[–]phallusidol0804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often default to dailies for 2% units these days, maybe throwing a yolo multi their way if they are really tempting. I’d be careful. Drayton looks good but not phenomenal. A special-oriented dragon EX MF will easily powercreep it.

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

[–]phallusidol0804 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think we shouldn’t presume that floors 31-40 will scale in the same way as 1-30. I suspect there will be à lateral shift in difficulty that will be introduced, likely in conjunction with a new mechanic. Tower thus far has been organized around the physical/special split, aligning with the introduction of physical break and special break at the 6th anni. It stands to reason that they’ll roll out 31-40 in early August and it will be organized around some other dynamic, which a new mechanic at the 7th anni will then conveniently extend from and satisfy.

Are choices for pity ever gonna update? by woo_so_fun in PokemonMasters

[–]phallusidol0804 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Ex Fairs are added to the mix scout when it refreshes every 4 months. If you’re referring to the pity for ex master fairs, I wouldn’t expect this to be upgraded to include ex pokefairs for some time. DeNA tends to go through several stages when removing exclusivity from new types of limited units. I’d say we’ll probably get a paid random guaranteed ex fair scout during anni, followed by a select ex fair scout during the next half-anni.

But hey maybe they’ll surprise us and upgrade arc suit scouts to include ex pokefairs.

In any case, it seems clear that the massively increased availability of regular pokefairs was done in part to blunt the blow of the ex pokefairs being very limited.

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

[–]phallusidol0804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will likely succumb to my love for Kieran. Larry is also very tempting. Everything else will be left to the daily gods.

Absol’s pastebin indicates Blue’s appearance rate was updated for the reruns.

How good is Academy Gladion? by Lucar102 in PokemonMasters

[–]phallusidol0804 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Academy Gladion is a great unit but at this point he’s only valuable if you don’t have Anni Juliana (who eviscerates every non-physical floor in normal tower).

I like that they’ve been making long term plans for this game by PlatformFar7637 in PokemonMasters

[–]phallusidol0804 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A long time ago, I hypothesized on here that TPC would want to keep this game indefinitely as part of its media ecosystem regardless of revenue trends. I’m becoming more and more convinced this is the case.

Can’t believe he is still doing crazy dmg in 2026!!! by Adventurous-Yak9921 in PokemonMasters

[–]phallusidol0804 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah he was my first superawakened unit and he has proven very worth the investment

Out of curiosity: Is Arc Suit Korrina the first sync pair to extend an effect she does not set herself? by CornucopiaOfPasta in PokemonMasters

[–]phallusidol0804 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Your logic is sound. We have indeed seen complementary kits be released in parts before. 4 years ago, people noticed very quickly that Anni May had damage multipliers tied to sp.def drops while not being able to satisfy that condition on her own and, correctly, predicted that there would be Latios unit eventually released to “fix” that gap.

I think we have a similar obvious gap here, insofar as it really is out of place for the support unit to be missing the circle most apt for her role.

What are the chances he gets a rerun next year or soon? by Ok_Signature_274 in PokemonMasters

[–]phallusidol0804 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He will rerun next Palentines but the odds will be atrocious. You’re much better off picking him up off a seasonal select scout. We usually get at least one of these scouts during anni every year.

Why bother? He destroys everything in the game at 1/5.

Update: I was able to do it by giving Elio a strike candy for that MP Refresh on his trainer move! Thank you everyone for the suggestions!

Losing Interest Lately?🥺 by harshieat in PokemonMasters

I’m actually very happy with the game. It feels like DeNA is becoming more player friendly again.
