>survived stage 20 by the skin of my teeth
Yeah, I ain't getting passed this.

I think we'll get something new for the upcoming anniversary, not ArcSlops.

SS Anal is starting to struggle at #21

>>533752518
we already got terastal

so, what do you think about the Tower?

>>533754687
>can't get pass tower 21
It's novelty wore out and now it's dogshit.

>>533754687
fine until 20, past that it's asking too much from the players

>>533754687
big p2w (and also shows how badly balanced the game/types are) but content is content

I want to get CS3 cookies from rewards

>>533755029
>>533754967
>>533754873
you're supposed to start another tower if you can't beat the next floor

>>533755143
of course, but you'll get never get past most stages 20 unless you roll specifically for it
they should just remove the restrictions past stage 20

>>533755143
I will get stopped on all of them on floors 15-20
except maybe Electric

>unlocking a pair's level go past 180
i'm sure tons of people wasted their plaques already because of this kek

>>533755506

>kowtow cleave never misses
Malignant cunt

>>533757862
>stole fucking marshadow from alolans
sorry i'm never rolling for you korrina

>when you know you can finish a stage but the margin for error is so small that it's infuriating
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I'll probably invest everything to clear poison since it has the best girls.

Why do people care about levels over 20?
By the time you do all the towers until level 20, we'll be in December. There's anni and multiple other arc and master fairs that will be available until then.

>>533762398
>multiple other arc and master fairs that will be available
you have to spend gems to get them

>>533754873
>>533754967
>>533759918

>have two teams that I can copy for tower 21 for water type
>one needs two of my sync pairs at level 200
>the other requires one of them to be superawakened completely
>I am incapable of getting either
Yeah, I'm switching towers. Gonna do the 10 stages for each tower mission instead

>>533765468
Damn female adult...

>>533763162
You're supposed to have gems when entering anni's month

[Sad News] Today I remembered I do not have Benga, SC Barry and H Bugsy

>>533762398
>Why do people care about levels over 20?

>>533767437
You can buy Benga for only 5k oinkers

Misty and mega Gyarados will fix the lack of physical water units.

>>533774315
wtf is wrong with your CS obsession???

>>533775382
The ugly paldean gym leader is going to be the core physical water type that you must 10/5 complete the water tower

>>533774315
You could've probably read 5-6 books or played a couple 50+ hours games with the time you invested in beating the "auto can win" mode that is CS

>>533774315
Nooo, why are you playing the game you are playing and posting aboutit in the general for people playing the game?!?

>>533774315
>36 max LG
>under 400k max HSE
based comfy anon

Still werks, but limited to single target sync for special shows some struggle

Is blastoise really small or is black kyogre just insanely huge? I didn't notice the size difference until doing stage 20 with NC May and Mix Leaf

>>533774315
>>533778542
Eh, bunch of tryhards

>>533754687
Neat concept, so-so execution

Who needs Lear when you have ThortonGOD? (Also Tate, evasion buffs are nice)

I guess Academy PV about 11.5 hours from now

>>533794770
Tfw I only have 1/5 Raihan and 2/5 Thorton

>>533774315
Eh

Some madman did it lol

What's the meta? Stage 20 wasn't that bad and I still have a few stages in me but I'm not getting to 30 anyway, do I keep going as far as I can or start a new tower already? Does it make any difference?

>>533811207
10/5 limited
5/5 arc
5/5 limited

Anything less than that and you're screwed, thanks DeNA

>>533723410
Yeah I have to say I was quite disappointed, especially since they featured this scene in the Pasio Towers trailer. I did enjoy her interaction with Iris though. Still, the scene ended way too early.

>>533818205
If you start a new tower each type up to floor 10 you get the mission perfection plaque rewards first, then focus on your best types for other floors to collect 1 or 2 extra plaques per floor past floor 20 and the certificates from floor 10 to 19 plus eventual weekly rewards from towers.

>>533754687
>Different towers have same enemies aside which floor they appear or a minor change like Ethan is the middle on Electric tower while it's Kris on Steel tower
Meh desu

>>533818276
It's lodge Rika and I don't think you need more than 3/5 Cynthia since all shes doing is setting rebuff and zone

Palmer, Norman, and Noland are all the same and you can't convince me otherwise

>>533835584
Even down there?

>>533836095
Only the color of the pubes changes.

>>533835584
I can't believe you stole my comment to post here, this must be what Youtube commenters feel like when their original comments keep getting reposted by other people across all related videos

>>533827945
Tfw the story is fucking nothing and ends abruptly. Iris Lapras doesn't even appear.

>Carmine's event doesn't even have a medal
what a scam

>>533848381
Another one who can't read the event having "prelude" on its title.

>76k gems
Never held onto this many gems in so long. I need to roll but even I know to skip Academy shit

>>533850953
>skipping the rare Special Normal DPS unit for Tower

>>533849391
It's the dumb reward format asking to accumulate 10000 event bucks for the final reward.
You must be some kind of Kitakami simp to net see the scam and wheeling out
>muh prelude
as excuse

>>533848381
Carmine shares a medal with Kieran. The Carmine event was just filler since they wanted to get Carmine out earlier.

>>533851316
>super effective meme normal type
I’ll pass, not a single academy pair has been remarkable

I just finished Level 20 on the Grass Tower and am focusing on Fairy now. I don’t think I’ll be able to reach Level 30 for Grass until we get an EX Grassy Terrain unit.

>>533856346
This retard is pretending that it is a bad kit, insane.

>>533858249
Grass needs a good ex terrain setter and a good damage dealer. Outside of Carmine grass is still pretty meh especially compared to water and fire.

>>533858249
>grass tower floor 20 has a fire type sync mon using heat wave and blast burn and sidemons spamming icy wind, blizzard and sludge moves
>all common type weaknesses of grass sync pairs

>>533859110
It’s nothing remarkable like I said

>>533859110
Yeah Acadion + Larry synergize so well with Larry adding both Normal Rebuff and type-weak Rebuff and buffing team speed. Hoping the EX Normal Zone setter is an Arc Normal tank with the ability to keep it going long without external help and that'll easily be the Team 30 team. That guy clearly has no idea how powerful Acadion actually is.

>>533859735
Grass has mix red and pal Erika for special and Adaman for physical. It should be able to climb pretty high with those three plus Carmine.

>>533861376
I hope it's some spicy Porygon2 tank.

>>533861376
Your basis on the team being great is on something that will never happen

>>533862206
He's already great because he's the only big special Normal attacker so it doesn't matter if the Stage 30 expectation doesn't happen since you have to beat the prior floors to get there in the first place. And you're not beating those prior floors without him, which is why they made him now.

Bit late but showing off my 200s

Still miss chart

>>533863019
How does regular Shauntal play now with those stats?

>>533863019
good wife

>>533863321
At 200 i can finally easily beat the hardest 3k CSMM stages off type pairing her with Lucian and pretty much any support. (no zone)

And that's about it

>triple rock weakness team passed through floor 23 of bug tower without supports vs n & archeops
top 10 anime champion rematches

So the strat is to do the 2 tower matches before today's reset right?

>>533873970
What do you mean 2? The next one is in 1.5 hours from now. So you would do all including that one before the weekly reset in 2.5 hours.

Liko... doko... *cough*

>>533876420
I meant we should be using up all the tries before today's reset yeah?

>>533881317
Yes every week you get rewards based on total completed stages. So you never want to have leftover attempts unless you are hitting the wall in every tower.

Do you think if Naomi got 6EX she would be able to clear ground level 19?
I don't have Rika and all I can hope for is for DeNA to let me have 6EX with Naomi

Be straight with me is there even a point to new players getting into this one or is it another one of those "Dead gacha" that exist to prop up an existing playerbase and nothing else

>>533890303
The game is welcoming to new players right now but for your own good do not get into it. The people still playing are mostly in too deep to quit. The content creator/Youtuber community has fallen off dramatically for this game. You will be better off with your life playing any of the large number of free romhacks.

>24 gifts
>0 (zero) 3* chest
Fuck

Fuck this

I got one cookie and it was for variety Gordie. Thank god rewards just stack up based on total towers completed and it's not 21 per week.

Brehs what the fuck...

>thorton cookie

>1x 5* PU
I didn't expect much but damn

>nothing of consequence
Gee, thanks.

>>533892130
Remember that you are eventually going to be getting 300+ rewards a week.

The rewards will be better in later weeks, it's like Expedition Areas in the beginning, gotta be built up first

Well it's official---Pasio Towers is shit.

>>533892282
Assuming I reach at least 20 on each tower, sure.

>you get a random passive from the new cookies
I thought they'd give all three together...

>floor 24 electric
>a sync from Red barely does single digit percentage on Hippowdon's HP
>watch some replays
>the replay with SS Elesa literally fringes on a paralysis at the end
Okay I'm filtered.

>>533890303
The welcome and generosity for new players is deceiving. Don't play this. It's pretty much whale milking now. Most new content is end game whale content you can't hope to ever participate in unless you whale yourself. Day 1 players that don't whale still can't keep up. Even with that recent what appears to be generosity, the game's underlying flaws are still there. Otherwise without the challenge content your actual content is skip tickets, daily and weekly chores, a new usually milquetoast ho hum story every 2 weeks and in your case probably a new to you story in between. Every day is pretty much log in, chores, skip tickets and the monthly end game content is unfun repetitive long slogs.

SSRC still carrying Ghost in the year 2025

All of these high level clears use 10/5 pokefair and/or 5/5 arc and master fairs. Wtf is wrong with DeNA? Only stage 30 should be p2w, not 1/3 of the tower

>>533886013
No, because her bulk is eggmon tier and her multipliers are garbage unlike lodge rika

>>533898539
>superawakened subway guy
Uh huh.

They did not sent me real money as reward?
Mode is shit!

>>533898539
5/5 expansion soon

I just want super awakened masterfairs so when I get fucked by them I can at least get some free candies. I still have zero because all my good luck is pokefairs and I have never had to do 5 multis for one since the candy got added.


Meanwhile I hit back to back to back pity for my masterfairs

The cookies would be useful if we can use 2 Lucky Skills at the same time desu

>>533891684
At least you got a cookie

>>533906742
You don't simply have better luck with Pokefairs, they literally have 2x the drop rate compared to Masterfairs, it would be strange if that wasn't the case.
They added SA and SA Candies to the Pokefair banners so that people can get more FOMO'd into pulling after the first copy, not to make getting fucked less hurtful.
>>533908553
Personal cookies should really have their own slot, so at least the event ones being garbage like Vigilance and Quick Tempo would be more excusable while you wait for the actually good ones from the Tower.

I got a 5/5 diantha, is it time to S/A her bros?

>>533910286
is that tower 1 or tower 2 cookie?

Arc Gold Ethan or Arc Silver?
Worth the 500 pity?

>>533910430
Tower 1 or 2? The only one available is 2

>>533911486
ALL pairs in the game (except Ash, Jessie, James) have a tower cookie 1 too. Based on role
including the ones that already have tower cookie 2
so 18 on them have both 1 and 2

>>533911268
Ethan is really good but I'm not a fan of his conditionals and sync output.
Silver is a really good support but for 45k it's a bit much imo

First time actually getting all the way to zero

>>533912769
thanks. Now to wait for Anniversary datamine

Floor 25 was a bit difficult, ngl

>Bug type completed Floor 25

>>533912286
Look at the rewards what are available

>>533911486
>>533926438

>>533927939
Now check out other ones like dianthas

>>533928215
CS3 is probably still better than the custom ones Diantha and SS Red got

They're gonna add more Sync Pair-exclusive cookies for other sync pairs, r-right? They're not just gonna abandon the rewards and leave it as is, r-right?

>>533928369
They saw the feedback of people not liking the tower and gave up on the idea

>>533928595
I sent feedback saying I liked the tower

Silver cookie
not bad

>>533929235
That would mean you would need to roll for silver

>>533929954
I already have him

Are you ready to get most beautiful girl in Unova next reset?

>>533941756
There's no upcoming Elesa banner though...

>>533942512
Isn't she part of the upcoming gauntlet rerun?

>>533941756
i already got summer skyla

>>533941756
I already have all Elesas 5/5

>>533941756
She's finally coming?!?!?

Reminder to invest in evasion memes for tower

>>533945130
I have

Is Academy Iris even good? Haven't seen any talk about her

>>533946970
>Is Academy Iris even good?
no

>>533946970
She's pretty good, as in she'll serve you well but not someone you should go after if you don't care about her to begin with. Has Unova Circle Special, AoE freeze with good rates, and excellent team healing.

>>533946970
She's good but not necessary. Academy Gladion is good and has way more of a necessary factor.

was there no end of the month newsletter?

>>533946970
I doubt she'll be able to tank Stage 30 efficiently

>>533944403
based

>>533946970
Her main problem is she can't buff Def/Sp.def without wasting Circle usages and requires status conditions for debuff/party heal on attack (but Frozen is kinda shit compared to Poison/Paralysis) which also needs 3/5.

Politoed sync pair when Dena???

>this game was only worth playing when there was a fat asian kid making youtube videos for it
post 2016 elections 4chan take

The fat Asian kid clearly has higher standards than you

>>533959326
literally no one said that

>>533959664
Damn, btfo'd that fool

Damn, doing 10 floors of every type will take forever.

1 floor = 1 content

>>533960668
2 months to be precise

Aren't the free academy units just kind of fucked since leveling barely gives them stats?

>>533963319
>Brendan with maxed Def/Sp.Def on grid still has lower Def/Sp.Def than Academy Iris without grid
Yes

>>533963319
They're fine if you get a good run with them, I've seen lechonk used well even in UBs, while Rosa can cheese Rally stages like nothing because of staggering + debuffs

This marshtomp does look pretty meh tho, not gonna lie

SA’d my poppy, bros

Came back just for Arc Suit Silver after a long time am I crazy or the spark needed for regular banners was 300 and not 400?? Has the the game done any arc suit rerun yet??

>another water type instead of being a ground special attacker
>literally just general pool May's movepool divided up into pieces
Sorry goy no handouts you have to roll for an actually good ground special attacker

>>533964492
Arc scams have a higher threshold to spark yes. It's 500 while normal banners are 400. And no but they're probably going to do new years reruns. This is DeNA's way of welcoming you back. Do you feel the generosity of the most generous gacha game yet?

>>533964492
Arc pity = 500
Every other pity = 400
Always has been

No arc reruns yet, 1% banners usually rerun once every 18-20 months.

>>533965040
>Every other pity = 400
Mix Scout is 300 :^)

>>533965601
OOF TALK TO EM
LET EM KNOW

>>533964978
Yeeeaahhh... Such a warm and cozy welcome...

>>533964631
if they wanted to give naomi an ex we'd be fine

>>533965601
>Need 300 rolls for Mix Scout
>Need 134 rolls for non Arc ones
Scam desu

>>533964164
good choice

Why’d they pick such lame mons for the title images and why the fuck is this thing here if it doesn’t have a pair?

>>533970682
Beats me. The Dragon one makes sense but idk why Fire isn't Charizard, Bug isn't Volcarona, etc.

>>533970682
What's Tulip's gimmick going to be? I guess EX psychic terrain isn't in the game yet. Okay Pokefair field/sprint because fuck you literally no gym leaders from Paldea will be general pool.

>>533970682
I kinda like Furret...

>>533967753
You actually waste fewer amount of paid gems for Mix Scout but you shouldn't waste paid gems for non Arc ones in the first place.

>>533960847
>1 floor = 1 content
Yes

>>533971085
She will be the Benga equivalent of psychic. Dendra will be the actual strong psychic type so it can finally have a good physical psychic that isn't SS Lana who doesn't even have 400 attack at 10/5 level 200.

>>533774315
I've gotten lazy but I still log in every day

It's been almost a year since Afro disappeared

Please ;_;

They’re taunting me at this point, just put the real Olivia alt in the bag bro

>the rewards are things that most people who can even challenge the tower already have by the boatloads
>super duper rare rewards are cookies that are barely useful for that specific sync pair
Who thought this was a good idea?

>>533995405
Anniversary month, Lear will hire Olivia to do special thing like with Tourist Guide Rosa. Trust the plan.

>48 minutes later
We're now at the absolute bottom of the thread, just behind 23 bump limit threads.

>>534002990
Im fine with the rewards being rare since we are at least stacking rewards. If it was only 21 rewards per week it would be a shitshow.

Is academy permanent now?

>>534002990
>that are barely useful for that specific sync pair
If I didn't come here I would assume auto-zone and extension would be better especially now with EX zones...

>>534015151
They are good if you dont have other units that can give them. Red and Diantha would rather have crit strike 3 and let someone else handle the zone.

Is the 5K banner worth? I saved paid gems to reach the first ticket of the tiered banner

I don't even think this banner is worth it, but my jungle fever could not be stopped.

>>534019165
Absolutely fucking not. You aren't getting the unit you are paying 5k for a cake and some pulls that dont count towards any pity.

>got absolutely assfucked by Bertha

The other academy midterms were so much easier

>will no longer be able to roll for Arc Silver or Arc Ethan with 3k gems left
Not like I had a chance with them at all. But I want a chance against Normal Tower and I found Iris cute.

>>534021052
Well, they're also permanently boosted in Academy so think of it as investment for that too.

So what's the best moveset for Brendan? attack buffs, move gauge for speed buffs, and liquidation?

>sycamore
>pick red
>more yellow orbs
Nonononono I wanted red orbs goddamn

Only needed three multis

Fire tower completed tomorrow. Honestly if they were ever gonna do a friend rep system Towers would be the best way to implement them.

>400 everything from blue

I think this might be my run other than doing 3 more for the power ups

It's even harder to care about academy units when they dont scale with levels properly

Kill me baby

>tfw never had Blue in my Academy
Dude is a truant

>Academy Brendan is physical water
Bros...is he viable for the Tower?

>>534024746
Even if you get god luck to get the perfect grid he is going to be too squishy.

>>534024746
Academy f2p pairs are a meme

Bruno fucking blasted me into pieces, goddamn.

>failed the finals
Bros...Brendan is a dropout

>>534025759
Same, nigger didn't crit all 3 of his syncs

>>534025759
>>534026454

Lmao got both in 600 paid gems

>>534026725

>>534025759
>maxed Defense+Attack buffs
>won with 3 Liquidation uses without having to sync
Just get better RNG

>>534027978
Post your grid bro

>you can exchange Custom PUs for tomes and codices
Was this a thing for previous academy runs?

>>534029938
Nope

>>534029938
>>534030045
Yes it was

So, the story was about Gladion, Iris was there just because. Man, they really hate her.

Anybody has the doc/pastebing with the academy interactions?
I don't remember who gives what in the free time interactions.

>>534030696
Brendan was there because too. And it was barely even about Gladion his issue got resolved by friendship almost immediately.
>studying is hard
>FRIENDSHIP
>thanks friends
>the end
I wonder if those fags that defend the gameplay can defend the writing too

Gladion getto!
Hopefully his sister follows suit next month

kek

Annis are usually 1 girl and 2 dudes, right?

>Porygon Z tweaking everytime it fires a beam
This shit is fun

They added difficulty levels to the final exam right? I was always doing hardest and I got decimated this time

In other news I got gladion from the 25 rolls scam but not Iris, the more I look at her kit the more I want her to pair with SS N for physical ice tower. Her banner ends on the 23rd, will we know the anniversary units by then?

no

>>534039126

Anni datameme will happen on the 21st
source: it came to me in a alcohol fueled dream

>>534039252
Thank you

>>534039290
Yes I mean did they add difficulty levels above what used to be the hardest one because I remember it being easier than that
My build was pretty jankey though so maybe it's just that

>>534038979
We'll finally get our second female arc suit

Is [circle]s permanent or like zone/terrains/weather has limited durations?

They're time limited like WTZ

NIGGER

>>534041698
thanks

So, whats the changes for this academy compared to the older one?

>>534040168
Nope it's the same, Brendan is just a shitter

Huh, i don't remember Academy has a special 48hrs banner. Is it guaranteed or still %....

>>534044363
The 25 pulls/5K ones?
The cake is guaranteed, the rest is chance

>already lucked into s+ with nothing but the academy freebies
>still need to do 3 more runs for power ups

This is the worst part

>>534046571
>>still need to do 3 more runs
no you dont

Thousands of people on the island and Penny is the only person capable of using a computer

I pulled, couldn’t resist when I saw her

Irisbros....

>>534050429
Carried entirely by Gladion btw

>>534049852
I just checked, I honestly stopped caring maxing out all cynthias cause variety SA and season costumes, also anyone going above 3/5 on a variety/SC unit which have no extra nodes just to give them a miniscule dmg upgrade and 4 sync grid energy is retarded in most cases, I just SA or 5/5 units I like now, cynthias SA's suck so I would rather 10/5 god tier units that benefit from it.

>>534050429
Gladion...flopped

>>534047321
aaahaa I wanna puuuull~

>>534050109
I need Bianca on my life bros

>>534050429
Not an excuse but all of the paid gems I used to get her came from those 24 hour gem pack deals. Just sayin

Fuck you too, Oak

So uh, who should be Gladion's Normal type team for Pasio Tower? Who should be the physical striker?

>>534057430
Maybe Redlax+Larry? Red applies SE up and Larry applies Normal+Weak Rebuff
Isn't Palmer the strongest Normal type physical

>>534057430
>>534057430
>So uh, who should be Gladion's Normal type team for Pasio Tower
Gym Whitney and Larry, alternatively Academy Florian

>>534050429

The balls on that mam

>>534059349
gives them more incentive to release a busted special ground dps

>>534061548
well they still need to release sandy shock

They're probably running out of ideas on what to release so they're using Towers data to gather logistics and plan new units

>>534062396
you might be on to something

Well I rolled for silver for shits and giggles because of discussing how bad 1% rate is, I ended up getting 1 silver in 3 multis and did 2 more multis for a candy
UGGHHHHH I dont even like silver or the unit fuck meeeeeee
Well now I have all arc fairs 5/5

>>534066496

>>534067176

I wanted to prove a point that 1% is shit, and I end up getting him, I think it is so fucking funny and sad at the same time

>>534066496
>>534067290
Madness, I don't understand doing this on banners where the pity doesn't carry over lol

>>534067470
Idk I am kinda bored and I hate acting like getting a 2% unit is meant to be easy let alone a 1% some people dont realize how lucky they are
Now I guess we are all waiting for the end of month select scouts

>finally cleared stage 21 of the Water Tower after screwing around with Electric tower after getting lucky with Evasion procs and a non level 200 non SA Dojo Gloria begging for her move gauge to fill up
HOLY FUCK

>>534062396
Hopefully that means no more Pikachu

>>534068168
Instead it's Tera-typed Pikachu

>>534071047
Flying Pikachu is acceptable

What's THE grid for Brendan?

>>534073871
Get everything in upper section
Get all the stats
Max out EQ and Liquidation nodes
fourth move is filler

can't pick
growl builds team sync buff but earthquake gives more attack nodes
both seem good, eq and liquidation both debuff a random stats by -2 with his rainy hit stat drop...maybe it is more reliable than growl?
it's quite expensive anyway, wish gladion came in two multis but i am also 2 muktis away from sparking ethan, i'd like to make a strong academy brendan but the timing is shit compared to the previous academy event, at least the academy units will be in the mix pool, such frustrating event and mode without at least 1 good rewards multiplier

>>534081876
obviously right

why is bug type so powerful...is it because it's the canon pokeboys type?

Why doesn't take next all work on aoe max moves?

>>534030930
Lapras wasn't mentioned even once, I believe some of the writers working on this game are nepobabies.

8 hours til Johto burns

>>534095793
Squad?

Do stamina tickets expire? I notice they don't have that red text in their description that says they won't be converted to coins

>>534099319
The event store where you exchange them expires, so...

>>534098853
Moltres/Mela/Ho-Oh

Stamina tickets are great but Academy is such a dogwater mode that it tires me, I'm pretty sure that they didn't include skip tickets because they think this will push more people to roll for the new characters to make the mid fights easier.

>>534057341
It's a 95% for dogshit 30*4 bro, it's never worth risking a good run for

Good enough I guess, blue + micro managing chatelaines + 2 kantrio stages with marshtomp, lechonk and deerling...

>>534103771
It wasn’t a good run that’s why I tried him

Not gonna lie, Gladion seems like ass, but that maybe his teammates fault. Hope he can get some real rebuff help and a good normal zone/ex zone setter

>>534106664
you don't have larry? he's really good with him
he double dips with his rebuffs

3 somehow??

>>534106826
But only the middle and he wants sp.def drops. I only have Larry 1/5 but Gladion struggles as solo dps even with double rebuff and normal zone

>>534107247
ANOTHER lucky irisfag? why is this allowed

>>534107326
He can drop spdef by himself, what do you mean?
Are you sure you're not too used to the cracked SA/Arc pairs? Because he feels fine to me as dps, especially for his rarity

>>534107596
He only lowers the middles sp.def is what I’m saying and the sides are mostly fine depending on the stage you use him. I just feel like he’s pretty weak so far because his assistance isn’t really geared for him. Of course he’s just fine in CS.

Porygon-Z, use Hyper Beam on anon's post!

>>534111580
Sorry on the left so you’ll have to wait til after sync before that hits me

>>534108065
Well Larry is pretty much the only pair geared for him since he can buff both beams, I doubt we'll have something better than that
He is a bit awkward since normal zone won't buff his buddy move...what he would need would be some premium Redlax/SC Steven

Best I could do, guess I’ll stick with this one since I know I’ll never see Blue in my lifetime

Freebie Arceus that sets Multitype field on entry and on Sync and premium Arceus that sets EX Multitype field 4 times total with extension

Something like this fully stacks right?

>>534117307
Yep and it's raw multiplied after adding together so if your only Sync multipliers are say Brainpower and Critical Strike 2, that'd be 2.2x from the 2 passives * 1.12x from the 3 gears to get 2.464x (instead of just 2.32x from summing).

>>534119851
Nice, it’s good to get lucky every once in awhile with skill gear. Waiting for that ex normal zone setter now

Debating whether to roll for the 25x scot. Not for the units but for the cakes. But then anni is too close that I'd rather not at 45k gems.

>>534039126
By the 21st? lol no

I wouldn't mind academy nearly as much if I at least got to use my previously made Brendan instead of having him start from 0 each time. he does fucking nothing. Just make it so you need to build a separate academy unit specifically for the midterms and finals but the finished one can be used in all the stages

Do you think they'll release dual type pairs with the release of type towers

Are the two previous academy events permanently coming back?

>>534125832
>Could have had Korrina's Hawlucha be a dual type pair with its whole gimmick of dual type attack (flying press)
>Fuck it up

>>534125832
Serena-likes is all you'll ever get

>>534125832
When Arceus shows up it will 100% let you switch types on the character screen so it can be used anywhere

>>534125832
I think they might reveal that for Anni. I have a strong feeling they'll come up with SOMETHING that condenses the burden of covering all 18 Tower types, if not for Anni then eventually. There's a reason Tera is an out of battle typing, since they could've easily made it in battle only but they want to present more solutions for the content they put out to entice people to pull.
I'm also like 60% sure they plan on releasing an Arceus unit by the very end who counts as all types as once so you can rely on it in every tower. They will likely release Terapagos that does the same thing as well, linking their lore. So that way, you can reuse attacker Arceus and defender Terapagos in every tower for the ability to 100% without pulling for every single type.

You guys are crazy. Arceus is just going to be limited special Silvally. Why the fuck would it he anything but normal type? It'll just change to whatever type it needs to during the actual battle like on entry or trainer move or whatever. Normal type needs anything it could get.

>>534129780
Look at how Tera is in the mainline and then look at how they programmed it in Masters. It's not crazy, it's paying attention. Besides, Arceus would cover Normal as well so I don't know why you make it sound dire.

Arc Suit Serena is the only thing I'm confident in for this Anni
Anni tradition says that she'd then be accompanied by 2 male characters
I think Arc Suit Diantha will come out in the Arc Suit Leon slot so that she's timed with PLZA's release

Plus, I think the placement makes sense because Zygarde is supposedly getting a Mega, so it's better to release Arc Zygarde before PLZA drops so that people don't dismiss the unit for lacking the Mega, which could then go to a PLZA character later or something

>>534132158
Since ZA doesn't have regional forms they will almost certainly give the protags the big main units like a Mega Zygarde.

>>534135267
>Since ZA doesn't have regional forms
Starters?

>>534138315
Nope they get mega.
New megas replace regional variants in ZA

>>534138962
Only Kantos are getting megas again actually

>tower 22 done
Finally moving up in the world.

Fire tower done

He was syncing before Mela could user her bmove so I kept getting nuked at -6 def lol

Finally reached the 30th floor.
It's insanely intense

The opponent has guaranteed hits, and 1.95 million HP...

>every single steel team needed him to clear the special stage

You did pull him right?

>>534145938
lol you wish

Arc Suit Leon actually gets to go all out on the 30th floor, Off-Type damage capping Lugia

>>534146520
I kneel...

>55 tickets
>only pulled 1/5 Fantina

AHHHH ALL I WANT IS LANA

>>534132158
The two guys accompaining her are definitively harder to predict if they're Arc suits.
It will probably be a random group of popular characters like the 2nd anni.
The only other theme could be Main Characters, but I don't think that any of the male MCs who didn't get a (proper) alt recently has a good enough partner or is popular/beloved by Dena enough for an Arc, aside from obviously Red & Pikachu.
Maybe they'll just break the tradition and make it 2 girls 1 guy.

>>534045082
thanks

What?! Game crashed while I'm entering a break stage. It wasted my remaining round?!

>>534148539
Thank you for playing pokketo masutazu ecksu

So I'm guessing these expire?

>>534148857
its fucked up that it doesn't atleast select random for you...

So an Academy Sync Pair that is non-gacha can only have 1 sync grid at a time unlike normal sync pairs?

>12 tickets
>have both
>still no Roxie for a decent Poison support
Rigged

I have zero interest in doing Academy.

>>534149875
>missing out on the 1500 crystals

>>534149031
yeah the letter said they expire. Im assuming when the academy event ends

Is there a correct choice for Iono, Lance, Gloria and Grimsley encounter? Academy

>>534151509
No

>>534151509
Everything is random other than always pick the Blue event if he shows up

>>534151848
>>534153337
thanks and fuck...

One day I'll manage to get a god run with all 4 Chatelain and Blue.
>>534154171
Basically never pick Iono, Lance, Gloria, Grimsley because it's a 50/50 chance to get a 30 orb scam.
The other special events (aside from Brock) have an higher floor so they're less awful.

Still carrying ghost towers progress

So how many types just cant clear even if you have everything maxed?

>>534155410
Ground
Dragon
probably Normal
maybe Ice
not sure about Poison, Fighting, Fairy, Rock

Yeah, Bug is best type.
Remember, shitronafags told you to not roll for Benga.

>>534155193
SSRC and SS Kris are by far the best aged of the old (pre 3-rd anni) Masterfairs
You actually require both of them to progress ghost and water towers

every other older MF is irrelevant at this point
anni Steven in an option for physical Flying, but Summer Liza and even lodge Skyla can also do it

>>534151509
Here's the doc from the old one, it's mostly the same
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1gscBPuxpsFaMcbTsHHJGfIiwByg3rgTT8AL6E86jno8/

>>534155193
I can’t go past stage 21 with mine

>>534159005
better wait for 5/5 expansion and a better ghost support

>https://x.com/tosakin_unhappy/status/1952984387416686637?s=46
If Poison can do it with no EX fields, what’s your types excuse?

>>534167785
I dont have a type

>>534167785
Needing a team of 2 5/5s and a 10/10 isn't the own you think it is

>>534172132
Meanwhile the rest of the clears are using Arcs and EX WTZ, so I see no difference.

Apparently Fighting can clear all 30 floors with a single team

>>534176175
It's so fucking over...

Shirona sama, I kneel

>>534176175
just SA your bede

>>534157837
>You actually require both of them to progress ghost and water towers
Is SS Kris good for all 30 floors? I have her but didn't take on Water yet since I'm not confident in my physical attackers, and my NC May is only 1/5. I wouldn't think to candy her until after Anni anyway which is part of why I put it off as well.

>>534178584
>Is SS Kris good for all 30 floors?
mostly yes, but for floor 30 with Kris you will probably require 4-5/5 NC May + supearawakened Dahlia

for the physical floors you need SA Clavell/Dojo Gloria .. or a very good sync nuke grid Academy Brendan

>>534176175
>10/5 Mixed attacker with aoe
Not surprised, really
I think Fire should be able to do the same with a SA'd SS Hilda.
Dragon should be able to too but Lance has tunnel vision so no aoe.

>>534179142
The superawakened part is where I sleep. I ignore any of the stuff posted here involving it since I'm not superawakening any unit for content unless it's already a favorite. I have 3/5 Dahlia and 3/5 Clavell but if they need 10/10 I'll just think of something else to work on.

>no gym phrases for the tower
sad

>>534182058
Gym Phrases? Like I SWALLOW SLUDGE TO TRANSFORM MYSELF?

>no cool tower and academy locations as background for the photomode
>no new funny secret and themed titles quests
>absolute shit tier pokemon picks for half of tower titles like espathra, swalot and cheese strings turnermon
>not generally liked ones like gengar and mew or the cooler birds
this angers me the most, feel like they clicked randomized for those title icon candidates, imagine finishing the psychic tower with your favs and wanting to proudly showcase the title but it has an awfullye executed egyptian aesthetics mon espathra slapped on it, if they wanted a psychic bird then xatu already existed and has been a decently popular meme in japan for the toot toot cry video edits

>>534149278
Yes

>>534149278
>>534186275
It's a freemium pair if we want to be honest, better chances of getting a S+ optimal grid with the advised featured event units, as for 1 single grid it's probably to avoid game bugs related to its mechanics, beside this, that one single sync grid build has like triple or quadruple ammount of tiles and passives standard sync pairs have since it's a "customized" grid that starts from zero.

>>534184791
Espathra is cool
Swalot is inexcusable

>>534187845
I think Espathra is a missing opportunity, its bodyshape surface and layers allowed better color palette choice or body parts coloring with the current palette and maybe some less lame symbols on its wings without being overdesigned either. For a Cleopatra / Egyptian theme trope it's quite a disappointment, the pre-evo is literally Gen 2 / digimon egg / baby tier shitmon too.
Espathra had the potential of finely completing the Gen 7 feminine bird trio of Bombirdier, Ferzandipiti (male only) and Espathra, plus classic bird Kilowattrel and the region token meme bird Squawkabilly.

>>534190612
I believe those purple colors were supposed to be black, but they didn't want another Jynx episode.

>>534204821

Suicide Event Story: Lucas

But seriously, would you handle a Paldea anni after this month of Paldea milking?
Thinking of a possible Penny alt makes me gag a little, I'd even take Diantha and Geeta whos anni over Penny.

what is the strategy and build for midterms and finals

>>534234126
you'd want bulk through stats and crit, if you can grab healthy healing, and if lucky enough orbs for aggravation but it's not vital, especially for bertha's easier stage
spamming gauge refreshable waterfall is quick and effective thanks to its animation length and effects
always build a grid for the midterms battle rather than trying to finalize your ideal grid, you are supposed to reset the grid after each of these exam battles anyway and build your wanted grid only after bruno's battle

you can teach critical strike 2 / superpowered 3 if you are daring and not afraid of opp's crits to defeat bruno faster or use vigilance
it will get easier once you unlock the ex for the tech sync

Why are these mid stages one shotting me lmao

So this shit game mode doesn't give you a warning about undistributed orbs

So is everyone trying to do stage 30 of tower or are any of you getting the 10 stages on each tower instead?

>>534238461
I did one to 30, going to do another to 30, going to try another to 30 after that, then go for 10 on the rest since that's the limit of my best types

>>534238461
Going for the missions first hoping for the beginners mission icon to disappear.
Besides, I don't have all the required key pairs (or move levels) for the floor 20-30.
For example I don't see myself rolling for SS Bede and 10/5ing him and his ugly shitmon on a top of that.

horsegirls racing mmmmmhhh...

>>534249087
That got a giggle out of me anon

>>534239417
Yeah so far, I've only done fire tower at 20. The rest I'll just do 10 for the mission since going all out on all of them one by one is kinda pointless.

It's time to apologize to mixed attackers

Ground is supposed to be one of the best types yet somehow they struggle in the tower. Curious

Did they change this shit mode since last time? I used to get 3-4 events every run and I can't get more than 1 per run now.

>>534269376
>Ground is supposed to be one of the best types
its not
it only has the best unit in the game, but just 1 isnt enough

>>534274582
That nigger has literally never shown up for me...

I was expecting this. Tower currently only lasts 6 months. After that you can't do any more battles and you just get the weekly rewards.
I expect them to add more floors in 6 months.

>>534284594
Or add other towers, like Champion Tower, Protag Tower, Elite 4 Tower, ...

>>534284594
The tower will be used to discuss the viability of units. If a unit cant clear floor 30 are they really worth pulling?
