[Pokemon Masters EX] DATAMINE IN A NUTSHELL (Five-Year Anniversary Scouts)

[@piplupenjoyer3173]

feels absolutely shameless to have 2 master fairs and 3 arc fairs in a month. as if they hadn't been greedy enough this anni

[@sorandkairi00]

Free to play here. I NEVER pull on variety scouts. This update is horrible.

[@spencerkettley7294]

The daily scout gives us limited sync pairs, and I’m guessing that would be all Fair exclusive, regular, seasonal, and special costume sync pairs from up to the first half of 2023.

[@spencerkettley7294]

@@devildowndevildown6261 you mean the old daily scout?

[@fubuki5hiro764]

Not purely f2p player anymore since a long time ago when it all started to be about money for DeNa. I was genuinely excited for the 5th anni. And this is what we get? Another difficult banner to scout? And we need to buy everything for resources. I'm actually more disappointed than excited about these new updates. And worried about the future of this game. I'm just playing for the sake of just continuity by now. Oh regarding priority for this update, I guess the arc pairs cause they're crazy strong unfortunately, then MasterFairs. Pokefairs mostly when triple scout. Rarely for seasonals.

[@abdoomahmud]

F2p joined a little bit before 4th anni (if I remember right it was by the time Adaman was released). I usually go for master fairs then some pokefairs depending on the situation (but less likely now)

[@SHAHNMONO]

The 500 Scout Points hard pity is clearly a bad move from Dena especially it is for Anniv Event banners but regardless I will still gonna roll for Cynthia Arc Suit with my F2P gems.

[@Ichizaka_Kururi]

I'm f2p , currently have 10 k gems, will go for Arc Cynthia, if more gems left then I'll go for steven

[@Aeonsora]

Dude 10K gems on a unit that requires 45K to pity with 1% is a very bad idea

[@maganhassan2627]

😂 yeah that's me free to play I have a lot of sync pairs missing though I perfer the arc sync pairs be just upgrades

Hope you get them all!

The main character will sync pair with arceus I have hope

[@MadamYap-n6j]

Im a totally F2P here have 173k gems in the house on this 5th anni, be4 that only scout for master fair and if I have some luck on scouting on master fair without pity my gems become more and more then will only spare some gems on OP pokefair like deoxys, victiny or shiny ho-oh, Totally no spotlight, variaty, seasonal and costume scout for me, then the only thing i do is save gems for march, june, september and december masterfair only, means 2 month cooldown 1 month scout, thats the result for my management of gems 173k+ on this 5th anni, nowadays people playing free but want everything, thats imposible, u will have to sacrify something to get something, like me I sacrify all scout juz for master fair becoz I know my position F2p, If someone want everything then they have to pay with something like cash, thats very fair in the world. Anyways For those happy with the 5th anni update and willing to scout for, I wish u good luck and get it on daily scout.❤

[@splgum]

That's enough to get all the new 1% rate units. Good luck!

[@MadamYap-n6j]

Thx bro and i forgot to say that you are the best pmex related youtuber, keep it up for the video if u r still interesting and motivated, but if u feel tired and wanna stop, I do respect ur decision and appreciate for all ur hard work and finally if you willing to scout for the sus 500 pity banner and the other 5th anni banner, GOOD LUCK AND GOT IT ON DAILY OR 1ST MULTI❤

[@pokeboy890]

I can describe this update very quickly. "Give us money now!!!!!" That aside, I hate this Anniversary. Just screams money. Between Anni and runup 3 returning masterfairs, 2 new masterfairs, and these 3 arc pairs with 500 scout points. And then the upgrade the paid banner insanely and keep the nonpaid as the same garbage. It's insane how much they expect us to spend on this anniversary. No anniversary/runup should have 5 new pretty much masterfair+ paies

[@ricocav]

Exactly, and the fact these arc sync pairs have 4/5 and 5/5 grid nodes AND you can only use general move candies on them make their greedy practices even more obvious.

[@akbaryr4175]

I ngl i will only summon on Master fairs and Arc fairs from now on reasons: 1.Im F2P 2. Pokefair its not even special anymore since 2 year anni 3.since Now Pokefairs can be summon by Tickets every runner up anni so i can get some on them 4. Lastly cause of 20k Gems on each month

[@clement3346]

10 unit on anni... I knew it, stingy dena being stingy

[@user-jg1et4vo2b]

Arc Suit Scout.......ASS

[@amyth0755]

Im free to play. I've never put a single rupee in any game or never will. I obviously dont have every single sync pair, but i have almost all necessary ones since i started playing the game. The way I decide to scout is like this - normally no pokefairs (waste of gems) Only master fairs scouts or triple feature ones(with ones i want) Even in master fairs i choose depending on which of my type collection is weak(currently my electric, fire, dark, grass and poison are weak af) - so next sync scouts after arc suit will be one of these

[@rayanriaz5612]

Well im completely free to play and ill go for Cynthia and then all arc becoz anni sync pair are strong like strong and can be played in any match to ill go for them if i get shafted then I'll just accept my fate 😅 iguess

[@asol7130]

No Hassel YET but we got Sygna Suit Lear which looks really cool

[@massimodalessandro108]

I'm fully f2p, never spent money in this game, and every year I am less likely to do so... I'm missing plenty of Pokéfairs, almost all variety scouts outside of some of the Eeveelutions, missing a ton of seasonals that I'm not really interested in and missing only a few master fairs since that's what I tend to focus on outside of faves>meta (and ofc, I don't have any mix scouts? Right now I've saved up 119k gems so I should be sitting pretty for the Arc units but I'm not happy at all... Skipped SS Nemona, definitely won't go for SS Lear, hopefully I get lucky with the Arc guys because otherwise I may not get all 3, debating which ones I'll prioritize... And also feeling a lot like you in recent videos in terms of possibly leaving the game haha, I still find it really fun but man they're shooting themselves on the foot, hopefully the fan outcry forces some change before it's too late... I've loved this game for a long time, I don't want it to end on such a sour note

[@daniellelondon439]

I am a free to play player. I’ve been playing since the beginning of the game, I have most of the pairs. I am missing some here and there, mostly special costume or seasonal. I mainly go for my favorite characters, main protagonists, and basically whatever looks cool. We get a lot of pairs this month which is cool, but I don’t know if I’ll pull for any of them.

[@ShinyElesa]

Well I'm not f2p, but I only use gems for select scouts and mix scout. So to say, I as f*cked as everyone with 3 Arcs and 1 MF running

[@RenSugiura]

I'm complete f2p, do I have all of them? Ah ah! no. According to my dex I have 433 sync pairs, from those 302 are 5 stars

[@EliteFourTV]

I don’t know which ones are the master fairs haha. The arcs suits? Do you need the old unit to get them?

[@splgum]

@@EliteFourTV I don't think so. Arc Suits are a completely new type of sync pairs with 1% rates, 500 scout points, and 5/5 sync grids. The 2 Master Fairs we have this update are SS Lear and SS Kris.

[@thanosgallagher4433]

So I am a semi f2p player, only buying gems when they have cheap deals like x300 for £0.89. Having said that, as someone who has spent a decent amount of money on this game, this whole Arc suit fiasco makes me wanna stop spending money on the game all together. Furthermore, I am concerned by the power creep the new divine pairs are gonna create. How strong are they gonna be? Is it gonna be impossible to do extreme battle vents without them? Are master pairs like Neo Champions gonna become obsolete? Are they so difficult to pity because of their power? I am very concerned about that. Furthermore I managed to save 55K for anniversary and spent 9K of that to get get Elio and now I am at a complete loss as to what to do cause if I have to pity for example Steven, I will have to spend 45K on a single unit! Basically all my remaining gems! That is crazy! I think I will skip the anni pairs, unless they are absolute necessary to clear events and get Lear instead. Wishful thinking but they HAVE TO, give us more than 26K of gems this month!

[@gabrielerusso326]

I think i'll keep trying on getting ss nemona and then lear (my man looks hella cool)

[@Power_Harmonia]

Still waiting for anniversary N rerun.

[@spencerkettley7294]

Is this where the datamined scouts are currently in? The final mix scout must be Leaf and Blastoise. I wonder what the events are, and how many gems we can get.

[@renusingh6925]

SPLgum please reply my question I can buy only one scout this time so what should I summon Cynthia arc,Steven or Lance.

[@splgum]

Wait till my in-depth analysis. You can scout for whatever type you need most though.

[@renusingh6925]

If you were in my condition and you have to choose any one from these three what you would choose

[@renusingh6925]

SPLgum, is there any way you can find out what 5 star Sync Pairs are being added to the Unova, Kalos, Ahlola, and 5 Star Guaranteed Ticket Scouts?

[@splgum]

Most probably every single spotlight excluding the upcoming ones.

[@dh510]

I think I don't get these Arc Suit units yet.. Are these upgrades to the units that are already in the game or are they completely new and require new pulls?

[@ricocav]

@@dh510 New units that are on a new type of banner, the arc fair banner, which has an increased pity of 500 points...

[@QuoteInTheAct]

F2p, only scout for master fair... Still missing 11 of em. Gotta cath em all

[@splgum]

Are you going to scout for the Arc Suit pairs?

[@belenuzx]

wait wait wait, did you said you can use regular (strike support tech) candies for the arc suit trio? aren't they using a new candy to level up their grid?

[@splgum]

I'm honestly not sure at this current moment. They have their own custom candy (you can get 2 from the paid route). You can also use yellow move candies. As for using candies based on their EX Role, I'm not sure already.

[@SonsaKay]

Hi! Yeah, I'm a Free-to-Play player, never spent a penny, was so excited a bit pre-launch, then played on launch for a while, kinda forget when I fell off...I don't remember any anniversaries specifically, I missed Ash, I vaguely remember a lot of ads hyping up Giovanni and Mewtwo? But I had Gloria and Leon who I imagine were added a good deal later? Not sure... But anyway, I came back this summer when Rika was added (just missed Volo...!) and caught up on a bunch of the content I missed! My 5/5 Hilda helped a lot! I think I've had some great luck and gotten cool units like Rika, and that special Barry with Heracross, Morty with the Shiny Ho-oh helps a lot, managed to get 5/5 on Poppy (she looked like the strongest unit ever, buffing her own attack by 6 - now I see that's kinda common these days pffft, still, she's great!), got Neo Champ Cheren (also ridiculous), these free ticket things recently got me the SS Hilda with Victini, and I recently saved up for Sygna Suit Nemona but worryingly didn't get her for a few days! Luckily I got one now with the pity sitting at about 290ish/400. Instead of filling that up I gave two tries to get Neo Champ Marnie and luckily got one of her! Glad I've been lucky enough to get at least one copy of these cool characters, even if it does seem kind of helpful for some challenges to get them beyond 1/5. But I guess I can do move candy stuff, though I don't think I fully understand the whole system quite yet - it just seems like I'm really not going to have a lot of these often so I'm hesitant to use them yet. As for these datamined and arc units, I'm not too attached to any of these personally. I already have Cynthia and Steven and yeah now they seem super pointless next to these new ones but I don't feel super motivated to get the new ones anyway? Lance seems to have the best kit of the bunch I guess? But I think I might want to use whatever gems we get soon to fill out that Nemona pity or try to summon for Arven if there's enough time. Otherwise I might save for whenever we might eventually get Professor Sada, she's cool!

[@PyroPlays17]

Depends on how you look at it I have spent money that was gifted to me on the story bundles. I have not spent my own money so I would consider my self free to play

[@splgum]

Well, the game will count you as someone who already spent money on the game whether it's your own money or not.

[@sethasuncion2550]

[@GizmoHey]

Honestly when I was active I used to try to collect all failed miserably in the first year. But when they introduced master fairs that's when I could collect all master fairs, Dena gave a lot of gems whenever master fairs came out, now just like I predicted they're making them scarce. I thought they would give me a comeback login bonus. Just what happened to Masters. Smh

[@ElijahP-vk6ix]

About the 10 summon ticket I only got 1 new character but the other days were weep off's

[@rayhanmajid7008]

I'm mostly an f2p. I said mostly cuz I did purchased once. And it was one of the bundle which u get tons of gems when u get in certain milestones in the game (I think). But that's all and am not planning to purchase any more. I still don't have a lot of sync pairs especially the limited ones, but I've got the ones I wanted. I mostly just roll for the ones my account mostly needed. Like for example, I needed a damage dealer for a certain type, then I just roll for the sync pair I think I might need

[@DesertViper83]

Thank you very much for these “Nutshell” videos !! All the info packed into video I can listen to while doing stuff :) so thank you for that :) I plan on rolling for the Arcs and Lear :) since I heard today Lillie was free :)
