Shiny eggs are always the same as normal eggs except they always have 3/3 passives, while others have a chance to not be. You'll want these eggs as there's potential for the Striker Gyarados to be one of the better Water-type attackers, thanks to Water Shift Hyper Beam.

So they actually gave us a halfway decent Egg Pokémon for once? Nice

The tech one comes with Rain Dance and Waterfall, which I think makes it the best one

All 3 Gyarados versions are great depending on what you need. Strike has an good base SpAtk and Water Shift Hyper Beam, meaning they'll hit hard if you lack other good water striker options. Tech has Rain Dance, Water Shift Hyper Beam, and a 60% Flinch Waterfall thanks to Aggravation 2. Much lower base SpAtk so they won't hit nearly as hard as Strike but they bring a lot in one package. Support has Dire Hit All and a TM with SpAtk/Spd +1 All as well, making them a nice offensive buffer for Special Strikers that maybe need extra help.

So how can you tell if the Magikarp you hatch is Strike, Tech, or Support?

You look at it in the day-care and see what the icon next to it is.

Thanks, so is this the first Egg Pokémon they’ve put in the game that’s been more than just situationally useful?

Generally you're recommended not to pull on spotlight banners as those units are added to the general pool once the banner is over. Her niches are Sandstorm and Atk debuffing so she's not too vital. Everyone has Acerola after all.

Which is fair, but remember we're in this brave new world where high-end content (Legendary Gauntlet) requires several units to do the same or similar things. More weather setters = more Moltres kills, for instance. Not that I'm saying you should pull on a spotlight banner, but Bertha does look good

I’ll just keep spending everything on the Morty banner. I’m having a tough time beating Cobalion for the extra gems, most of my pairs aren’t capped and without full potential upgrades or filled out sync grids so most of the strategies in videos/on Reddit just don’t work yet

Master Fair units get a master passive that boosts damage and reduces incoming damage in addition to the normal 3 passive skills. Depending on the unit this is powered up by units of either the same type or same region being in the same team.

So are any of the new Sinnoh Sync Pairs worth spending gems on out of curiosity?

Aaron's a really solid buffer and tank (I would rate him better than SS Morty but for lack of sun setting), Bertha has Sandstorm and Atk drops, Lucien is pretty good at Atk and SpDef drops. SS Giovanni outshines them all easily. But if you have over the 36k or so needed to pity Giovanni and want to throw some extra at them you could do a lot worse. Aaron is one I'll be looking out for on future select scouts. MarquiseMindfang fucked around with this message at 21:19 on May 14, 2022 |

Hatched the final Magikarp eggs and *sigh* no shiny. Welp, I tried. At least in good news for me I got Giovanni on the third multi pull.

I got double giovanni in my first pull which is great because now I am safe no matter what next month brings. Ideally I can skip it entirely and have 2+ pitys worth of gems for Summer

4 pulls for Giovanni. Pretty good. Waiting for datamine to see if I want to pull for more copies or anything. But I have 1 strike candy and 18/20 to the next one so probably not.

Nothing, they are just shiny.  They are always guaranteed to have all three passives though so you can never get a "useless" shiny.

Caved and spent 2 multis for Morty, too. I am still disappointed in him being primarily a defensive buffer, but weather setters are never entirely useless.

drat, Gio/Nido is a beast. got two on my first pull - then none on the next four. I think I’ll save my remaining gems for the next killer and just save up for candy to get him to 3/5 mabels big day posted:What kind of magikarp?

Nice, Tech is easily the best one due to its rain and flinch utility. Strike is fine but Water is not exactly a difficult type to stack with incredible damage dealers, though Water Hyper Beam in rain is kinda nuts. Support isn't that great since it doesn't really offer much, though +2 crit, SpAtk and Spd isn't the worst. I, meanwhile, got zero shinies, not that I was really gonna use them anyway.

indigi posted:I don’t have enough actually-useful pairs above level 120 with mostly filled out grids to do more than 4 or 5 yet The Gauntlet is the endest of end games for this title. It's meant for people who have a ridiculous number of sync pairs all powered up with nothing else to use them on. And the rewards aren't even that important, so don't worry. Everyone, do pay attention that today is the monthly celebration day and there's a free 1030 gems to collect, plus a bunch of other rewards especially if you do about five or six co-op battles. It's only available for one day as these things go if you are not familiar with it, so don't miss out.

I loving hate legendary gauntlet because I have negative interest in reset scumming for MPRs so I can limp across the line with teams of useless goobers. Also any DPS with a recoil move is instantly invalidated by the very nature of the fight.

Four pulls on Giovanni and the only things I've gotten were Morty/Drifblim and Lillie/Clefairy, both of which I have at 5/5 already. It has been so loving long since this game has given me ANYTHING at all.

She's a Master Fair, so currently she won't be rerun at all. Also 36k gems for spark or bust, you're just setting yourself up for disappointment otherwise.
