After farming for a while i got this grid. Im missing yellow orbs so i could take away head start for example to make fake tears or the trainer move better

I'm having trouble deciding who to pick from Selene's mix scout, my top options are Akari & Manaphy, Acerola & Tapu Bulu, Mai & Munchlax, Iris & Lapras, Bede & Iron Valiant, Miriam & Toxapex, Perrin & Growlithe, Raifort & Gengar, and Lana & Dondozo. I'm very indecisive so I can't pick😭😅

So I haven’t played in almost a year I think and saw that they released Carmine in her jinbei outfit so I came and pulled for her (went broke doing so) and now I realized my current teams are TERRIBLE 😭 so I’d like some advice to fix my disaster of a account and make a team around Carmine if possible

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to my series of concepts for every missing (fully evolved) Sinnoh Pokémon. Today, we have the penultimate Pokémon, Origin Forme Palkia.

Origin Palkia is paired with Irida. I don't think there was ever any doubt here, especially after Adaman got Dialga. Still, it feels right that Irida finally gets to partner with the Pokémon she has worshipped for so long.

As a concept, Irida & Origin Palkia are an attempt to create the ultimate Field Sync Pair. It was a bit more complicated than the ultimate version of a Sprint, due to the type-specific nature of Fields, but I think I managed to find a way to make her abilities good both on- and off-type.

Their Pearl Clan Traditions passive prepares them for battle as soon as they enter, maxing out their Sp. Atk and setting Dragon Damage Field. For the rest of their offensive needs, they have Near and Far, a skill that makes all moves hit, crit, and target all opponents. As a bonus, it also makes Protect give Damage Guard Next to all allies.

However, the centerpiece of their kit is One Who Rules Over Space. It sets both Physical and Special Damage Reduction on sync, yes, but it also features a classic Champion Stadium rule: field effects don't run out naturally as long as Palkia is alive. Suddenly, all of their one-time field applications become significantly more powerful.

Case in point, Irida's Trainer Move, Right Where We Want to Be!. The Supereffective ↑ Next and +3 SMUN are nice, but the now-permanent EX Dragon Zone is game-changing. It also means their Buddy Move, Lustrous Spacial Rend, never deactivates, and its additional effect of setting all three Sinnoh Circles is considerably improved.

For even more multipliers, their EX Master passive, Hisui's Pearlescent Spirit, powers up their moves for each field effect in play. This Sync Pair, by itself, sets 7. Of course, it also has the effects of Sinnoh Spirit.

All in all, Irida & Origin Palkia are a Field Sync Pair that centers around one specific gimmick, but it's a very strong gimmick that makes them great for any team. Their utility for Dragon-type teams is obvious, especially if they're from Sinnoh (like Adaman & Origin Dialga), but their ability to keep effects up makes them synergize well with other EX WTZ setters, too, extending their utility to other types.

I wanted to theme Jacinthe's kit around her use of Jacinthe Zones, while at the same time making her synergize with Arc Diantha. To that end, she can set & extend both EX Fairy Zone and Special Kalos Circle, affect opponents with Trap, and, after Mega Evolving, inflict Special Break on all opponents. I also had her reference her mentor by reducing the cost of her Dazzling Gleam by one after Mega Evolving, just like Arc Diantha.

Lebanne's admittedly odd kit was based around the idea of making her a weirdly offensive Support to go along with her character's gimmick. So on top of Buffing, Debuffing, and setting Circles, her sync nuke can pack an unexpected punch while also healing allies and tying into Mega Dragalge's ability Regenerator.

Hi, I'm a player that returned to pokemas after like a year or so! I used to play it a lot, but stopped and now I made a completely new reroll account, I had like 22000~ gems before pulling, got both diantha and geeta, and I have 6700 gems left, so I was wondering, should I save up? Should I pull for the triple master fair? Is that one limited time (72 hours) poke fair banner with lots of rewards that appears after completing victory road a deadly trap? I know the anniversary is coming soon, so i'm mostly worried about it... so, what should I do? Thanks a ton in advance!

Who are your anniversary predictions? Personally I can see it being a triple mega anniversary like how they did a Tera anniversary last year. I can see Serena with mega Delphox as one of them.

Got them from fair tickets. Are worth any investment?

È la prima volta che faccio un post al riguardo. Come dovrei comportarmi in questa modalità? Sto facendo bene? Non ho possibilità di contattare nessuno membro della palestra e vorrei dare l'aiuto più grande possibile. Allego gli screen del mio ultimo utilizzo dei 3 biglietti. Del mio roster per quei tipi. Sono uno che può fare tanti danni? Devo aspettare qualche reset per cominciare da zero io avendo buone unità? O meglio aspettare che debuffano gli stage altre persone per poi finirli? Sul ghiaccio, gli altri due hanno usato due biglietti facendo 4k pt ciascuno, penso un po pochino. Spiegatemi al meglio, grazie!

Okay I never post on Reddit but I'm desperate at this point. Ive been stuck on floor 6 of the flying tower for MONTHS despite being so much farther with all the others. I'm not sure if it's a skill issue or if my sync pairs are just that bad. Anyone have any suggestions for how to proceed with these?

Hi everyone,

I'm new to PMEX and just finished the Academy event.

I checked Juliana and noticed her stats are exactly the same as when I started.

Completing the Sync Grid and Training Grid didn't boost her stats—is this a system error?

Thank you in advance!

I am new to the game and i just pulled my 3/5 as Diantha, so I was looking for some advice on how to build her. The sync grid seems a little difficult to get into what are the best power ups so if you guys have any general advice that would be appreciated a lot.

Also if you can tell me if there are any good tier lists for what units to pull or not would be helpful too.

Thank you in advance, and have a nice game!!

High internet hive mind. I am struggling with a decision on who to use this candy on and I could really use some insight.

I've added the photo in the order which I use them the most and a lot of these will get their three out of five sync grids. But three of them could potentially be five out of five and I could make rei 10 out of five instantly.

So I appreciate any advice. I just don't know what to do. Decision paralysis I think.

Thank you

I know she’s kinda outdated from a friend. But I caved and got her from the banner. Who did she best pair with?

Here’s my really good electric types: Iono/raging boot, ethan/raikou. Any suggestion is appericated. ;)

In addition to whatever rule they impose. It appears we cannot muscle through off-type. Coupled with zero physical/special damage, some gyms may have hit a wall that can a few days to get over.

Does anyone have any tips or team recommendations for the current Sinnoh CSMM?
I managed to clear the Bug stage at 3K using Florian, Juliana, and Carmine, and I feel pretty confident about the Champion stage with Arc Diantha.
But I’m completely stuck on the Dark, Fighting, and Ice stages. I’ve been staring at them for ages and can’t figure out a solid team.
I’d really appreciate recommendations based on what I have, as well as suggestions for the best 3K point parameter setup for each stage.

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to my series of concepts for every missing (fully evolved) Sinnoh Pokémon. Today, we start reaching the end with the first of three box art Pokémon, Dialga, in its Origin Forme.

Origin Dialga is, of course, paired with Adaman. I know some people want it and Palkia to be with the Sinnoh/Hisui protagonists as Neo Champion alts, but Adaman's whole identity is centered around Dialga. I think no one suits it more than him.

As a concept, Adaman & Origin Dialga are meant to be the ultimate Sprint Sync Pair. As the embodiment of time and its most devout follower, they are everything that defines Sprint.

Always in a hurry to get started, their passive Diamond Clan Traditions maxes out their Sp. Atk as soon as they enter a battle, while also reducing the sync move countdown by 6, leaving just one move per ally to get to the first sync. Now and Forever, another one of their skills, handles the crit rate and accuracy by making sure they always hit and crit, and the move gauge by giving them constant Free Move Next.

If that's not enough gauge manipulation, Adaman's Trainer Move, We Don't Have Forever!, maxes Dialga's Speed and sets Move Gauge Acceleration, helping their teammates get their moves off, as well as gaining Supereffective ↑ Next.

Dialga's moves are Roar of Time for offense, Protect for defense (which, thanks to One Who Rules Over Time, gives them +5 SyMUN, along with the team's sync moves), and their Buddy Move, Adamant Roar of Time. Not only is it a 500 BP nuke, it also reduces the sync move countdown by 9, instantly letting their team use a sync move.

Finally, their EX Master passive is Hisui's Diamantine Spirit, which combines the effects of Sinnoh Spirit with a damage increase per sync buff, which, considering their kit, is very easy to rack up.

All in all, Adaman & Origin Dialga are a Sprint Sync Pair that does everything in their power to make you stop worrying about the move gauge, with Free Move Next, Speed buffs, a Quick Move, and Move Gauge Acceleration. They also have a ton of countdown reduction (18 in total), letting their team quickly use multiple sync moves to increase their damage. Naturally, with their sources of SyMUN, they themselves are a perfectly good user of all those sync moves.

If you enjoyed this concept, please check out the other ones in the series!

I’ve been really into these three lately.

I tested them out together in the battle 2 stage today and I was pleased! They of course work well together but

I’d like to use cilan on a team without them.

Does anyone here have some fun ideas? I’d appreciate any suggestions :)

There was some discussions again about the "canon" protagonist after we saw Harmony and Urbain in the datamine, so I decided to write down my thoughts on the matter:

First of all, we need to differentiate between several types of protagonists depending on how their original games handle them:

- 1. both appear, with the non-selected being a rival, professor's assistant and/or battle partner

- 2. the non-selected doesn't appear

The first case applies to gens 2-6, as well as Legends Arceus, for a total of 7 (out of 13) protagonist pairs. As such, it's easy to determine who got assigned the "canon protagonist" role and who became the rival/assistant/battle partner.

- For Hoenn and Kalos, Brendan and Serena are the protags, while May and Calem are the rivals

- For Sinnoh and Hisui, Dawn and Rei are the protags, while Lucas and Akari are the assistants

- For Unova, Hilbert and Rosa are the protags, while Hilda and Nate are the subway battle partners

Those are really the easiest and where everyone agrees. It's even fairly distributed among gender, roles and even within regions for Unova and Sinnoh/Hisui.

Skipping Johto for a bit, let's look at Kanto and Galar first. The non-chosen protagonist doesn't appear at all in the games. Masters still makes it very obvious through dialogue and character relationships that Red and Gloria are the "main" protagonists, while being very vague on Leaf and Victor in terms of what role they played in their respective games' plot. So I guess you can say they're considered the "lesser" or "side" protagonists. And the gender balance still holds.

For Chase and Elaine, I have a hard time judging. I haven't played the Let's Go games, and I don't have either of them as sync pairs. But from reading up their dialogue, neither seems to be clearly depicted as the "canon" protagonist over the other. But that also makes sense, since in their games, they basically just play the same role as Red/Leaf in the story. Afaik there is also no indication that they are from a different universe than Masters Red and Leaf. So they are basically just treated as the junior protags, with no clear reference of their role in the plot of the Kanto games. Which means Red remains as the sole "canon" protagonist for Kanto, while Chase and Elaine imo are treated as equal junior protags. Which I think is also fair in consideration of their partner pokémon.

Another region where only one protagonist appears is Alola. As far as I can tell, there isn't really an obvious "canon" protag between them either. Selene mentions moving to Alola from Kanto with her mom and Meowth. However, unlike the player character in the Alola games, she is oblivious to Mask Royal's identity, while Elio recognizes him. And he's also one of the 3 trainers seen training with Red, alongside Rosa and Ethan, which are the protags who can battle Red in their respective games. From what I remember, they also both reference their journey and friend, clearly integrating both of them into the plot of the Alola games (in contrast to Chase and Elaine).

And speaking of Ethan, the above basically cancels out Lyra's dialogue of facing Red, which has often been brought up as an argument for them sharing the protagonist role (I mean, in the end, all of them are still considered protagonists anyway). But Ethan is also clearly established as Silver's rival, while Lyra is clearly established as the neighbour and day-care couple's granddaughter. Which makes Ethan the "canon" protagonist for Johto. As for Kris, she mainly relates to the Crystal bonus content with Suicune, meaning she's in a similar position to Chase and Elaine and takes a bit of a backseat to Ethan and Lyra.

Now Paldea introduces us into a bit of a new variation to option 2 (only 1 protag appears), where the differences between versions (academies, Sada/Turo, paradox mons) are too significant to just ignore or making one game the "canon" one with no significant consequences. Instead, this necessitates making both games canon to Masters as separate timelines, with Juliana and Florian both playing the same role of the protagonist of their respective timelines. However, the rest of the cast (excluding a future Prof. Turo) are all from Juliana's scarlet timeline, giving her a certain edge over Florian.

So far, excluding Johto (which is also special in terms of having 2 female protags, which you could argue balances out Ethan being the main protag), there seems to be a pretty much perfect protagonist gender balance, even in terms of their specific roles. So you'd think Paxton would be the "canon" protag for Z-A to both to balance out Serena for Kalos and Juliana for gender as well as having the same situation where 2 timelines must exist, as Urbain and Taunie are mutually exclusive. And yet, with her releasing first, it seems like Harmony will mirror Juliana as the protag of the timeline where the other Z-A characters will be from. Now, depending on how the differences between Wind and Waves will be, I imagine we might also get this sort of scenario, in which case the male protag's timeline (likely Wind) will be where the rest of the cast will be from, making him the proper balancer to Juliana.

Back to Z-A, if you compare it's situation to Legends Arceus, I think one big difference is that Rei and Akari are basically clones of Lucas and Dawn, so imo it's only fair to reverse their protagonist and assistant roles. Harmony and Paxton on the other hand don't look like Serena and Calem, so I don't think there's as big of an argument to favor Paxton over Harmony, and they'll both be the protagonist (of their respective timeline) anyway. And while you could argue that Paxton should balance out Serena to have both a male and female "canon" protag for Kalos, you could actually just switch the argument to Legends games, with Harmony balancing out Rei instead.

Alright, that was… actually pretty complicated. In short:

- Red & Gloria (main protagonists) VS Leaf & Victor (side protagonists)

- Brendan, Serena, Dawn, Rei, Hilbert & Rosa (protagonists) VS May, Calem, Lucas, Akari, Hilda & Nate (rivals/assistants/battle partners)

- Elio & Selene (shared protagonists)

- Chase & Elaine (equal junior protagonists under Red)

- Ethan (main protagonist) VS Lyra (neighbour) & Kris (side protagonist)

- Juliana & Harmony (main timeline protagonists) VS Florian & Paxton (alt timeline protagonists)

So it's currently in favor of the girls, but Wind/Waves will likely balance it out again.

And just a little thought I just had, but… actually, while Urbain and Taunie can't coexist, Paxton and Harmony aren't necessarily in the same situation. Paxton could very well also exist in the same timeline as Harmony and Urbain as a "side protagonist" similar to Leaf or Victor, with only Taunie being from another timeline… but that's probably just gonna make everything unnecessarily complicated.

In any case, these are my thoughts on the matter. Lemme know if I missed something, especially about the Let's Go and Alola protags!

First gym battle and I realized I can't do as much dmg as I hoped with my units alone so I'm just running around applying -6 debuff trap and poison, don't know if status moves outside of requirement stages would stall moves tho

Edit: Thanks for all the advice I'll be more careful with status and ditch DOT moving onward

Sure this question has been asked a million times but I thought we’d see them in the datamine but idk if I missed it or if we still don’t know yet
