>What is Pokémon Masters EX?
A mobile Pokémon game that's real-time instead of turn-based and focuses on collecting trainers instead of Pokémon.

Dynamax in these cutscenes is always so cheesy and lame. I get that the way they implemented it they don't actually bring in any models and it's just a pre-rendered animation. But just hiding what is supposed to be a giant Pokémon behind the camera every single time is super cheap doesn't look good.

Hoenn or especially Erika, the other already have AOE and can wait another turn, Erika wants 3/5 and mandatory EXR to be peak.
If you have at least 1/5 SS Carmine you can dump 1/5 Roxie.
Else wait a little more for next update, could be a Tech EXR too.

So i was curious about the anniversary units from a trailer on youtube and a friend, that i gave my 2019 old account, returned it for me saying he got bored of it, once i logged in i noticed the bag with absurd amount of goodies. Is it bannable even if i don't use it on this upcoming gym event thing? I'm a little upset because i actually enjoyed the game and paid some money at the beginning..

I'm going assume this is hacked. Someone who knows how quickly you can buy yellow candies and their coins can correct me. You are indeed set for life if this is the case, you only need 4 candies per character so you could max out the entire roster probably 30 times over with that.

It's random but with the new Master Day they usually rerun one to three MF and give them 4/5 grid upgrade (Like Serena last month)
So Pika Red or the Kanto Trio are bound to rerun this year. For Arc suit Leon is the first one who got a rerun so maybe we will have a rerun of the OG later (maybe the Golden week?)

You get gems reward based on your ranking after getting to Master Ball ranking. Top 101-500 gets 2k gems and 1 awakening candy, top 100 gets 2.5k gems and 2 candy + special banner, top 8 gets special title and 3k gems + 2 candies. You also get some extra vouchers.
For internal score, you get up to I think, 2 free PF ticket, gym cookie for some characters, a guaranteed 5* gym ticket, and gym voucher. Each season is 100 vouchers, which means 1 candy at minimum.
As of this post, checking rankings there's at least 47 gyms who cleared past circuit 3.

I was wondering what was up with my sudden shit luck with no internet connection from both mobile data and wifi while trying to challenge Blue but in the end it didn't even matter because Ashbro cleared it in the meanwhile.
So I am yet to do my first battle against Extra Battle Lt.Surge and I might only bring him to ~70% using x3 tickets.
This sure escalated quickly.
Even funnier seeing the Successful Team window showing teams from previous rounds ignoring the special clauses from Extra Battles.
>>
Showing who has done the battles is such a massive mistake, my gym has been super duper casual and allows people to stay even if they havent logged in for weeks or even a month because we always reach S-rank. Hell even I took a month off and didnt get booted. But I feel like this mode is gonna create so much animosity now...

>>
>>
>>
I don't think whoever came up with this mode had a good idea, as the way you earn points actually disincentivizes playing the mode itself.
You earn points based on how much damage you did, and you do more damage if someone else already played the fight and set up debuffs and sync buffs for you, so to earn points in an optimal way you should wait until someone else wastes their tickets first. Worst case scenario, nobody will play because everyone will be waiting for someone else to play first.

Man I don't know how to do big damage in this mode since I don't have many meta sync pairs. I'll have to change my plan of attack but I don't think I'll be soloing anything
At least I took the chance to finish off a severely weakened Misty to reset the circuit but it took quite a bit of experimenting because brain too smooth
>>
>>58944302
Soloing stages in higher rounds is hard, they got stupid amounts of HP.
Maybe spread your tickets around and re/debuff some meme stages like physical water/electric/ice and leaf cheers for big dick squads.I don't even know how this game works but it sounds sensible
>>
>>
>>58944037
They explain in the announcement, if I read it correctly you can but
1. Your teammates might assume you're just bumming for the rewards if you don't have some means to tell them that's what you're doing
2. You will be leaving a good bit of battling to do the last day
3. It's probably suboptimal to do that because of cheering

Arc Blue getting a big passive when he's barely half a year old is kinda big, and NC Red gets a good bump.

Many might be pike these, but others will cuck you with costant defense drops, status enhancers and eventul post sync 4 bar attacks. Teammates that offer bonus immunity under certain WTZ are valuable enough, else you have to use cookies and lose damage multipliers on your attacks which is legit since you might not land a single attack after being afflicted with confusion or paralysis.

If you feel like you can't do much, just participate and slap debuff on the enemies. Debuff carry over, stat downs, rebuffs and statuses. I don't think you can give away your tickets, not that I read the patch notes that deep.

TateAnon, if you’re reading this: be our cheerbot and spread your tickets between fights that haven’t been started yet. I think you might have one of the weaker rosters on the team so that’s the best use of your tickets. I might be wrong though, I only got a glimpse of your ice roster thus far

Which x1 ticket teams are you using for debuffs beside at least 1 type rebuffer when you can?
I think between reliable and more randomized but multiple debuffs users this ones should be the most common (outside of specialized defensive stats debuffers or those that are built in on dps pairs also ideally defensive drops are usually the priority).

Couple of us in my gym are running through the battles when they reset using 1 ticket on each and applying the most amount of debuffs/rebuffs/status to the opponents so the rest of the gym can clear up with dps units.

BW1 design Elesa
Arc Silver does rebuff and his BMove is an AoE stat dropper
Same goes for Arc Steven
Detective Steven once again being incredibly useful despite his age
NY Raihan
Champion Iris, Hassel, or Battle Tower Leon all have AoE multistat droppers
Stripper Suit Leon can do all 7 stats but is RNG

People should also prioritize Poison or Burn application, as that actually helps do damage with how much HP they have, instead of applying Paralysis. It helped me let the boss kill himself while I nuked the sidemons

Ngl the game mode is actually not bad it's just this type of players that kills my enjoyment personally
I wish they increase the player members inside the team in the future because now it seems impossible to organize with people that has at least a little bit of grey metter

To be fair I don't think he's that new if he has Kabutops Brock 3/5. Nooblets like this are just going to be part of the game unless you join some Discord sweat gym. For what it is, Masters is insanely complex while attracting a mostly casual playerbase. The average person's understanding of difficult content is literally just throw anniversary units at it until it dies

Some of us, or many of us, play this game for the characters and our favorites, without worrying about getting every meta 10/5.
As a veteran player, I just play for fun and to earn my daily gems so I can keep only my favorites. If we wanted something competitive or hardcore, we'd be playing Unite, the competitive TCG, or online battles.
That's why Mastersex has been losing steam in recent years, they want to please the whales and hardcore players, and all they're doing is scaring away new players or those looking for something more relaxed. I still remember the few daily battles and the easy ones there were years ago when Mastersex was at its peak.

This mode is pretty well-designed to cater to all types of players though. Even if you're very casual, if you have been playing for more than a couple months, you absolutely have a roster that can bare minimum mass-debuff stages. Even a completely new player can at least kick a battle off so that somebody stronger doesn't have to challenge without a cheer. And like any other ranking-based event, the bulk of the rewards have a pretty low threshold for obtaining (just having to clear the first 3 base circuits+some of Extra 1 in one week).
Assuming you're in an okay gym (at or around 20 players, hitting S and clearing event missions), the worst reward you will probably miss out on, that is realistically obtainable, is falling outside of the master 500 ranking range, which is 10 vouchers, 1000 gems, and a superawakening candy

I understand that, and what would hurt me the most would be losing those gems, but I'm used to losing close to 3,000 gems a month for not being able to complete anything hardcore.
Luckily, I'm in a league with a lot of whales, although some don't log in daily, but only a few. Even so, it feels bad to do such ridiculous damage compared to the rest, but I have always logged in daily since I started many years ago because it's the only game I truly enjoy for its unique content, considering it's a Pokémon gacha game.
>>58947693
True! I've noticed it too, in just one year, it's already getting way too inflated with so many paid features and competitive modes. I only play Pocket to collect favorites, but it's extremely difficult to get the card you want.
>>
>>58947618
I think you can make the mode fun for everyone if it was like the Type conqueror events. The higher the difficulty is the higher you gain points but have less time to battle and the battle start like now (Brock Sandstorm, Sabrina physical/Special reduction...) and if you aim for low difficulty the HP stay the same (since its tied to everyone) but the NPC have less Def/Spe Def and you have more time but in the end you score less points.
>>
>>58947773
Reading it like this makes it sound complex, but maybe it's better to play it. Luckily for me, there are no problems completing all that in my league, but for example, the towers beyond the tenth floor or the battle rally on hard mode without spend points are simply impossible.

You need to clear 3 extra circuits for 1 million points. And that's probably not enough to get top 500 for any actual significant rewards. It's fucking stupid to put gems behind ranking. It should just just been titles. I don't get why they made the threshold 500 gyms. Every other prestige thing the lowest threshold is 10k players. It's like they just took 10k and divided it by 20 for 20 gym members. Fucking most braindead shit they ever made. And it's not even fun.
>>
>>
>>58947901
It's 4.5 circuits for 1 million and shit doesn't really start spiking until the 5th circuit. They really just need to move all the rewards down a single tier and make it so the only thing top 8 gets is the titles. Everyone in top 500 gets 2 candies and everyone gets at least 1 candy.

The impression I get every time there's gym anything is people don't actually like playing this game. I don't understand how DeNA reached this conclusion to design this shit the way they did.
>create gyms
>dogshit new players can't be assed to even log in regularly
>can clearly see that they don't even bother with daily type rotation or the stupid lodge minigame
>these require basically nothing to complete
>players with older accounts can't either
>these players regularly get cycled in and out of the gyms
>DeNA tests waters with group missions
>let's have everyone do damage challenge and high score getting "minimum" 1 or 2 million points
>can barely reach threshold even with stronger players making up for it
>try again with legendary gauntlet
>turns out people don't even like touching it for the basic 10 clears let alone at all
>it's endlessly repeatable and just having one whale is enough
>they expect each player to put in average 20 clears
>still don't even reach 400 for the group mission tickets
>DeNA makes a third attempt
>baby easy co-op fight that's a borderline participation prize
>endlessly repeatable and farmable too
>run these missions multiple times
>these thresholds actually get met because it's braindead not to
>GREAT let's move on to taking the worst parts of legendary gauntlet, damage challenge and the tower and also require a dripfed currency to make it not endlessly repeatable and you can't retry for a better score unlike literally every other challenge content in the game to make the fattest porkiest whale content this game has seen yet
>and we're putting good rewards behind it
It's like they're trying to EOS this game.

The game is too slow in general so you dont really want to try more than the bare minimum. At least Conqueror/High score event let you reset one battle pretty quickly but Gauntlet is really just : Select a battle - Create your team - Battle and a little reset animation every three clears.
Co-op suffer of the auto mode problem because the AI is too stupid to not see the kills (hello NC May using the TM in the first second) and that you have to click too many button just to search another battle. But judging by Pocket it's more Dena's signature than a Masters problem.
At least we don't have a crossover Gym x Academy yet.

This game stopped being casual friendly ages ago. Tower was content for whales that some people were in hard denial about because it gave gems. The problem is the rest of the game suffers for it too. Things that a casual player can enjoy like story is irredeemably low effort dogshit now. So if they hate ALL challenge content all that's left is academy, a mode that is extremely unfun and tedious with bad writing and still manages to not be newbie friendly since none of these units are good enough to help you with the challenge content. Literally every time the producer hypes up for months a mode they've been working on all year it ends up being whale shit.

>>58947679
You think a casual player will put in enough effort to think even that much through? A casual player with even the slightest of resistance will just not participate. They would just try 1 fight and do 5 damage against a 800 million HP fat ass piñata and give up. They can't forgo their tickets to a good player or have a way to help without having units which with how much fucking limited banners there are of course they won't. If cheering worked like the fake Chinese leak said it would by applying a bigger multiplier for the next player the more tickets you used it would be better. Or if you can just siphon them from lazy faggots who don't intend to use any at all.
>>
>>58948150
At this rate they might as well add RNG to each fight. Couldn't be any worse than it is now. The problem is there is no bare minimum with this gym shit and there's no way for actually invested players to pick up the slack for lazy faggots or new players. You are hard limited by the amount of tickets given. I haven't touched tower so long I forgot there was a slow dripfed daily limit of plays. You can see that's where they got the idea of 3 tickets a day.
>outright calling the ranks with rewards PRESTIGE ranks
The absolute audacity of these fucks.

Ehh, assuming the event is held like every other month it still shouldn't take too long to get to Hoenn. There's only 5 other options (or 6 if they do some fanfic shit with Alola), and Paldea should be far off since it's missing 3/4 people currently

Off type. It's not like tower where you're outright required to on type. Only one half of the parameters. Though I feel like they could have taken a page from high score and given a point multiplier for on typing it. High score is the one thing they didn't take anything from.
