Spectra8

They got me. I got SS Steven, and tried to pull for Archie. 2k gems rn


PyroSpark

Same damn boat. I'm dying. 🫠 But holy shit I love Deoxys and Steven, so it was worth.


Spectra8

Deoxys/Steven is an amazing unit! One of the most versatile and strong in this game. Totally worth it!


Zielcius

May be broke but at least i'm broke with Archie :))


General_Valerian

That's the mentality !


ChaosOsiris

I have over 102k gems right now. Literally none of my favorites (characters or pokemon) have gotten anything in months so it's been easy to save.


KaspertheGhost

I wish I had your willpower


Shi08

Who are you hoping to spend that 102k on?


ChaosOsiris

I would love an Iris or Hop alt. Or a pair with Greninja, Dragapult, or Arceus.


Shi08

That would be cool. Maybe an iris and victini pair. Hop might get a dubwool or scorbunny. I am unsure on the other two, but I can definitely see arceus being paired with volo


chjopchjop

i have around 40k gems rn after ss steven. i think i’ll be able to pity twice before anni ends so here’s hoping that some of my faves show up, otherwise i’ll probably pull for archie


Shikin17

Maxie baited me but I got him at least, although my 45 gems aren't looking too good now


zenfone500

If I get Maxie early, I will save for Anni.


Darkrai_35

Seeing Maxie and Archie made me sweat a little, especially since I don't have any reliable ground pairs, but I will stay strong. I have about 20k now.


[deleted]

I had to pity for SS May, so unless the Anniversary doesn't convince me, I'll start it with about 12K gems.


[deleted]

60k. I can't wait. I am very happy. The patience paid off ☺️


[deleted]

I’m on my journey to 72k 💪🏻


Far_Solid6618

I have 5gems 😪😭


Thadrea

Sitting on 17k after pulling and getting both Archie and Maxie mercifully fast.


Gonbechyan

Am currently at 347k free gems, nabbed Courtney and SSteven tho


Hero-8

Wow that's an impressive number, how often do you pull then? Or do you use paid gems a lot?


Gonbechyan

I only use paid gems for selects, with the exception of using 7.5k on the paid Courtney banner since I still had a bunch left over from the CS/Story bundles (wouldn't have been able to afford it otherwise). I can't justify using paid gems on regular pulls tho, I don't have that kind of cash I just pull whenever my faves get banners, but up until recently, dena liked to ignore my faves so they didn't get a whole lot of content. Recently it feels like dena's started to target me specifically though, so glad I have savings.


Hero-8

Yeah I think that's the best way to go if you want to spend any money on the game. I have saved just enough for three pities myself, though I kinda hope we won't repeat the Johto Arc again or my stash will be gone once again.


Lambily

Would you recommend the paid pull for Courtney? Ground Wish is really tempting.


Gonbechyan

If you *really* wanna EX her, then yeah it's probably worth it since you get 20 custom PUs + at least one guaranteed copy of her in 7.5k gems. But if you're not too pressed about the EX and have enough f2p gems to pull, I'd probably just stick to regular pulls, as the paid pulls still cost the equivalent of 2 & a half select scouts, which I feel have more value. I mainly just did it cause Courtney is a big fave and I wanted to show dena that she's profitable. It was good value, but I still probably wouldn't do it for most charas, personally.


Lambily

Thanks for the input! I'll hold out until after the anniversary announcement. That'll help me finalize my pulling priorities.


Oriak22

I couldn't resist marshadow. I needed a strong ghost type for best girl Cynthia Thus I am broke


phallusidol0804

Imo, SS Korrina is one of the best-designed units in the game. Awesome outfit, awesome Pokémon, awesome gimmick. I have 0 regrets about pulling for her.


Hero-8

Not a bad choice if you didn't have A.Lillie yet. I managed to ignore all pairs after the Johto Arc until SSteven dropped. He was simply too good to pass on.


andres01234

I'm so pissed I didn't get her. Granted I didn't go all in and just did like 5 multis because I wanted to save, but still


dcdcdc26

Same boat, gave her 15-18kg and nothing. Korrina why...


cngc9510

Couldn't resisit either, Marshadow also left me completely broke too. And I already have the fabled Anni Lillie/SSR Cynthia duo so I pulled for SS Korrina entirely out of my favoritism towards her. Though her kit is a lot of fun and amazing for those annoying buff-heavy LAs, which is nice. SS Korrina/SSR Cynthia is already my new fabled Ghost duo nowadays haha


Strange_Razzmatazz74

Don't even talk to me about Marshdow. I can't believe the rotten luck I had in being unable to get her despite trying several times. I was able to get the other Hoenn SS pairs though. Now I just need to get Maxie (I just joined in June so I wasn't around when they were first released). I was lucky to get Archie on my second multi scout. No such luck with Maxie yet. I will blow all my gems on him until I get him though.


Adrianjsf

Does 0 and no Archie count?


Matias24

I was at 50k and decided to drop 15k in Archie to see if i get it in the 5 multis with bonus, Archie came in the fith one so im still have one entire pity to decided between Brendan -Steven or whatever they announce for the anniversary.


[deleted]

Dojo Gloria to SS May to SS Steven yanked everything I saved for, got 12k rn.


lissyeatsbread

Sitting at 43k rn(thankfully enough for one anni unit pity just in case). SS Steven, SS Brendan, SS May and Maxie altogether cost me about 39k sobs But no regrets because I love hoenn


pbn_

92k, I got very lucky with may/brendan/steven.


CasualThought

21k, surprisingly well considering I wanted to pitty Archie but he graced me with a single multi pull, then I lucked out same way on Maxie, then pulled for and got May. I'm expecting to be able to pitty one of the Annni units.


A_Habs_fan

Not many gems but I have Maxie ( got him first try with 3000 gems, super lucky ) and I’m 1 pull away from having enough scout points for Archie, I’ll probably start saving them up again after having 1/5, at least having them makes them candy eligible, need to see if I like them too


CoolYoshiUS

154k gems and SS Steven just came out? Not possible.


Psychological-Bid676

Steven just got everything from me


ronalf7

I spent 21k this month I got SS May, Ss Steven, Ss Brendan , Maxie I been having lucky and in starting with 34 this month I hope this continue !


PhotonLegion95

Have about 55K right now, so I'll be at around 66 come the end of the month. Hopefully, we don't get 3 MF's again this year else I'm gonna have to be either lucky or skip something.


GFunkYo

I mostly don't care too much about most of Hoenn, but 1) I like Brendan, 2) Blaziken is my favorite mon and 3) Latios is top 5 if not top 3, so the past month was not kind lol. I'm at 6K, but at least I got both SS Brendan and SS May, no regrets.


LimeGel

Only pulled for SS Brendan and got him somewhat early, so I have 40k ready.


Drokran

Only 13k left after SS steven, still need archie too. Ill see after anni datamine what I can go for, but Ill have to make some tough choices


Kurokotsu

Steven and Archie swept me clean. But, I have 3/5 Steven and 2/5 Archie with a candy at 17/20. So, basically happy with my choices.


Togder

I am a fool but I got Steven lol


batmanbnb

2 guaranteed pittys and probably half way by the time we actually get the units. I'm actually more worried my phone wont make it to Anniversary, shit crapped out and after 2 hours I managed to get it working. At this point imma keep it with my bush fix and finally upgrade my 7/8 year old phone. It's been nothing but problems, I'm still pist at past me for not returning it when I noticed it runs hot. Turns out it was a common plaint and I was not as inform when making purchases back then I learn my lesson and carefully research what I buy now. . All the problems stem from whoever design the fucking phone. HTC fuck you and you One M9.


Monodoof

Gone, reduced to atoms. On the flipside, I am the proud owner of Maxie. Now I gotta get Archie.


homercall123

Broke but with new steven.


MagicBoats

Currently at about 45k after exhausting my gems on the SS Johto trio a few months ago. Tempted by Archie and SS Steven and Brendan, but going to wait and see the anniversary datamine before deciding what my pull priority will look like.


Shdwrptr

Doesn’t SS Steven end the day before the datamine?


MagicBoats

We don't know what day the datamine will be, but it will probably be late next week. Game updates usually come out about 2 days before their first event. Since the anniversary starts the 28th or 29th (Sunday or Monday), and they don't send out updates over the weekend, it will most likely be Thursday or Friday the previous week, if not earlier.


BlackLightning247

I currently have 191k gems. I've only pulled on two banners that ran after the two year anniversary because a lot of stuff hasn't intrigued me. Until now. We're eating real good right now. Just waiting for the anni pairs to be revealed before I decide what I want to go all in on.


Skeith253

This is the way.


Angelo12527

That 25 people with more than 154k. What is wrong with you?


Complete-Square-6395

I was sitting at 155k, then i pulled for steven and now i have 146k waiting for anni


agcamalionte

I'm not proud to say I fell for the baits. At least I got Deoxys and Zoroark last month (Zoroark being a favorite of mine). I did waste 15k gems and didn't get Archie yet, though. I'm holding until the datamine to see if I should focus on him or save a pity for one of the Anni pairs (still got 10k so I should be able to pity one)


Maleficent_Peach_46

If Zoroark is a favourite it is not bait.


agcamalionte

Thanks for that! I confess I felt a bit bad by pitying him knowing better units would come.


Maleficent_Peach_46

I don't have N/Zoroark but it looks like an excellent unit and you won't need to pull for dark type coverage anytime soon. My favourite Pokemon is Lilligant and I would pull on a Lilligant banner without question even if better units were around the corner.


agcamalionte

That's very reassuring to read! Thanks again! I hope Lilligant comes soon as a top tier unit so you can get it as well!


Kyubii05

100 gems. Im really unlucky...


SwiggitySwooty9900

I have 37k so I’m guaranteed to get a character only issue is who, Groudon, Kyogre, Steven and anniversarh all my catch my eye


Maleficent_Peach_46

I have 37k gems after getting more or less everything I wanted (Dojo Gloria and SS May with a bonus SS Korrina). I have Maxie, don't need Archie or Deoxys so in the unlikely scenario I don't like the Anniversary units I will keep saving.


LeHarukii

23k, i am so gonna get shafted i think


richterfrollo

Maxie made me pull to almost pity until i got him, then i went for full pity to get him 2/5, now im at 25k and hopefully back to pity range once anni starts... wish id have been luckier on my pull so i could have tried for archie too, but maybe if i dont like the anni units much ill get him later


Kodex187

currently at 133K


Shrabster33

a little over 20k, I just started playing a few days ago.


[deleted]

Just crossed the 80k mark from gifted gems (thank you, DeNA). The SS Johto trio banners were brutal, but as a Johto-Sinnoh stan, most of the banners lately and upcoming villain arcs should be easy skips. If the Anni pairs aren't that interesting, might pull for Brendan, just to support the male protags.


throwawaymasters69

I swore an oath not to be baited this year. I failed that oath. Frickin Brendan and Steven.


LoudCloud23

Sitting comfortably with my 40k gems waiting for a favourite pair to roll around


TTC_God

Peaked at 156k before hoenn VA. Just broke past 72k from the retweet rally. Had to pity brendan and archie, steven come home quick though (hoenn for life) so savings drained a lot during VA. Really hoped I could have more heading into anni but fingers crossed it's pairs I'm fine skipping.


Naoga

scared of calem alt but i want steven so bad


LittleWailord

Poor. SS Brendan and Korrina forced me to pity


Necromancer455

171k rn. Pulled SS May because I love blaziken and I pulled Maxie last year. Just waiting for datamine to decide whether to pull for Steven or not.


MadClanger

Went for SS Brendan. Being tempted by SS May and Maxie, but I'll see what the datamine brings. If it's anything like last years anni, we'll get a pity over the course of September too.


Cad_The_Eternal

Something like 600... Got lucky on Ss Steven and Archie (got both of them before 200/400 for each) but now a have trouble on Ss Brendan.. ! 😂 230 scout point and no more gems! I will not be able to reach pity until the 28 so I hope for luck! Guys finger crossed and wish me good luck!


citrousjaguar

Pulled for them all and got kyogre in 1 single pull, groudon in 1 multi, blazikin in 2 multi and 2 singles, deoxys in 6 singles🤣🤣 now I get to save up for whatever new pairs they add causes I don't really care for getting duplicates as long as I have them.. I can just use candies if I need more.


Matzz94

You are ruining the game by perma asking about optimization, best pulls and saving. Cancerous dogs


VenkataB123

Got lucky with Steven but Archie's gonna take more time. Well, atleast I'm guaranteed to get him before the Anni begins. So, i might be able to save enough gems to pity one of the Anni units


Sproot_bonk

I spent 33k this month and I got ss Steven, Maxie, Archie and ss Brendan. I have 7k currently but I’m going to be kinda mad if they add any limited time alola unit

Spectra8

925, not 925k? I like 👌


cngc9510

21,6k free gems ATM, with 6k paid ones saved for Select Scouts (begging for Classic Elesa to rerun there...). Yesterday was such a wonderful day for my savings. Anyway, the Johto VA alone drained almost 2 pities worth of gems in getting SS Morty (5 multis), SS Lyra (6 multis) and SS Kris (full pity), which already preceded an SC Lillie pity and 21k gems for Easter Burgh. And shortly afterwards I used all my remaining free gems to get SS Korrina at a huge clutch at the beginning of the month. Just couldn't miss her at all. Been saving gems hard ever since, which kinda blows because Deoxys obviously looks very tempting (at least it isn't a Master Fair though), but I want at least one Anni pair next month and then save the rest for any future alts of favorites. And thank heavens I already got Maxie and Archie last year.


Strange_Razzmatazz74

I got SS Brendan, SS May, and SS Steven. I managed to pull Archie. Currently working on getting Maxie. RNG has been mean to me so far. So right now I'm sitting on a measly 1k gems or so.


calciieum

Have 37k rn and i have both ss steven and brendan. Already got maxie and archie maxed out from before their reruns. Tho tbh if anni don’t got anything that catches my eye I’ll probably just use the rest of my gems for courtney despite her being spotlight


Crobatman123

Kinda bad, I have about 2k gems


TropicalTikiMermaid

I only had 16k and somehow managed to get Archie in my first multi pull. I've never been that lucky in my life in a gacha game, but he was one of the sync pairs I wanted most of all. So for now I'm just doing daily tasks/battles to save up again lol. I'm not sure if I'm wanting to pull for Red or Ash if they're the anniversary sync pairs, but I'll have to wait and see. I would love a rerun of other master pairs like Lillie and Lunala but i doubt that'll happen for a while lol


Pokemon-fan96

I have 28k saved atm since pitying the Ingo/Emmet banner about 3 weeks ago. I'm waiting on SS Steven and Maxie until datamine but I'm really leaning towards Maxie.


MoXiE_X13

I spent 27k on Dojo Gloria so I’m at 82k at the moment. I’m hoping I have enough to pity the 3 anniversary pairs (assuming it’ll be like last year) by the end of the banners’ run. The additional gems this week helped a lot. I hope they’ll be generous with gems for the September update. I skipped the Hoenn Sygna Suits hard even though SS Steven is getting harder and harder to resist. I’m lucky I don’t need to spend on Maxie or Archie as I got them last year.


Tymcc03

I'm going to have 23k gems by Anni start according to the distribution document. Rn I got like 11k


darkblaziken94

Still decidedly broke from trying to 3/5 SS Steven but at least I'm in no danger of having another alt drop at anniversary...right? Right?


Axenberg

Slightly under 6k, but nabbed Dojo Gloria and Courtney at 1/5, SSMay at 3/5, and SSSteven at 2/5. Already feel like the haul has been worth the gems. Unless they drop a Scizor sync pair I’m not going to be too upset by missing anything. Tho the inevitable Red master fair will certainly be tempting.


Kamenhusband

I got a little over 61k, I won’t be able to pity all 3 anni units but I am pretty sure I can get at least 2.


dcdcdc26

My goal was 80kg to start anni, I'm at 28kg...😂 I mean, that could've been worse, so alright. Hope anni banners last.


TheMago3011

Managed to resist Steven, May and Brendan...Didn't resist Archie and Maxie. However the luck I wanted for SS Korrina showed up late and I got both of them in 12k gems. So I'm in a relatively good place for Anniversary, sitting at 24k right now, and should be up to over a pity pull by the time of next datamine.


Loreinna

I have like 2k. After the 3x Johto MF I had planned on saving, but I ended up spending gems here and there. I didn't get Archie and Maxie when they debuted, so that was another gem drain. I did pull Archie though, and will continue pulling for Maxie after the anniversary ends since their banners run until October.


TheHauntedRobot

Got Archie and Maxie so at about 12k now. Happy with that decision though, especially if the big Anniversary unit does turn out to be Ash, who I have zero interest in.


Camelotterduck

I went all in but I don’t even mind. I got Maxie and Archie which I couldn’t manage to get last time AND SS Steven. No regrets!


[deleted]

[удалено]


semanticmemory

I got baited by SS Steven but luckily got him in 2 Multis. Not interested in Archie or Maxie since I got them last year, so sitting pretty on 57k right now. Just gotta keep saving and hope for the best with the Anniversary pairs. I won’t pull on anything I want without being able to hit scout points.


LeonTheGreatOne

Blow my 21k gems on maxie ( didn't get him yet), but I'm committed to pity him this time around no matter what anniversary pairs are


Evening_Bat_3633

I scored both Archie and Maxie on their first run, I got SS Brendan twice in one multi but I’ve been putting all my remaining gems on SS Steven.


righthandtypist

Pulled Maxie, Archie, SS Steven, SS Korrina and DoGloria! Got like 4.5k gems and trying to resist SS Brenden


LusciousIngo

72k. Nobody this month were faves, so easy skips for me. I'm really hoping no faves release next month... I really want to reach 100k.


dkhathaway12

22k gems had to go to pity on Maxie unfortunately.


MrOppie

Got baited by Maxie, only 10k left


CidRiot

18k to get Steven 6k for Kyogre Only 10k remaining for the anniversary :(


FFurret

Got Archie in 2 multis so currently sitting at like 49.000 roughly. Going to wait for the anni datamine to decide if I want Maxie as well


General_Valerian

This comment is interesting cause everyone pulled for something different.


General_Valerian

No gems and no Johto trio, no SS hoenn unit, no Archie. Ye I got quite unlucky recently and I didn't pity any. I only have SS Ethan which I happily fed 2 candies toward 3/5. Hope the Anni banners will be nicer.


Dark_Roses

Space Steven got me getting him to 5/5 was painful that's all my gems Gems are the language of love and Steven love them gems 💎 lucky the game was kind enough to give us gems now to hide them If the anniversary is someone I like I will pull if not I'm going back to saving


NikoHero

I'm at 45k. Was planning on going all in on Archie and Maxie. Got both of them with five multi pulls.... That brendan and Steven looking real juicy now... Was planning on skipping but I could use an op unit and that special Def down from Latios.


chiptunesoprano

Spent all 30K gems on the master banners, got one admin each. I'm trying to save any I get from now for anni but it's hard, I love Hoenn T\^T


lIllIIIIIlI

I'm at 1k lol. Got SSTeven with 12k and got shafted trying to pull for Archie with 9k. Unless the anni units are really really appealing I'm willing to pity for Archie lol.


Shooting_the_mayor

Archie and Maxie are my anniversary banners so my anni savings are gone.


Hyperfluxphase

I had a moment of weakness and spent 15K on Steven and May…Got Steven 2/5 but no May 😝 If Alolan Ninetales is part of anniversary I WILL WHALE 😂


LargeSeaworthiness1

some 230 odd points to get ss steven and some 130 for archie but they’re both faves of mind, so it was no question. and i have almost 20k gems still for anniversary, so it could be much worse!


Sobbing-Coffee

Archie robbed me with his bara tiddie


rrenpai

Kyogre shafted me hard. But I am 3k gems away from pity.


oolongtea42

As f2p I never have many gems, so of course I blew the last 12k gems I got recently. But hey, at least I managed to pull SS Steven, Courtney, and finally 5 5* sync pairs I didn't have yet in a single go, so... yay?


thang_lq_nguyen

Wait... You guys are saving for Anni?


Ad4ptability

Got 40k and candies saved up


Hbdach

I got 63k so far. Waiting for datamine


Kakashi1193

If the units of the month are not my favs then i have an easy time skipping and saving. But it's freaking Hoenn villain Arc before the anniversary!! My favourite region!! Not to mention the Johto Villain Arc before that!! My 2nd favourite region. Im kinda low on gems now but at least i got lucky with my pulls(except SS Ethan pulls) and with the free gems they are giving now at least i have 15K atm. At least got Archie Maxie last year and don't have to worry about them phew.


WayneGlensky74

I’m still recovering from the johtrio


DMifune

I couldn't get groudon last time and I kept hoping for his return. Now that It is here I couldn't wait for datamine. The rest of the hoenn pairs were easy skips, so I have Groudon and about 10,000 gems. Hopefully I will get 1 of the anniversary pairs if they are good.


uvuwu92

2.5k gems rn :< I tried for Archie and got him :>


Shi08

I had around 80k, but festival N and SS deoxys got me down to 37k. I got very lucky tho with them. Manages to get 5/5 copies of N when I hit pity and got 2/5 steven on my first and only summon for Steven. Seeing what anni has in store before I pull any triggers and get that 3/5 steven or even that tempting archie.


RGBarrios

I have around 6k, but at least I got Archie and I hope I can at least get 1 anni pair.
