It's that time once again, lads.

EX & 20/20 Current 5* powerups: 255 Current spirits: 890 5* powerups available: 49 (20 lodge, 5 event, 4 CS, 20 exchange) Spirits available: 340 (85x4 CS) Total powerups: 304 Total spirits: 1230

We can afford a decent amount at this point. I've realized I can spend powerups down to 150, to match the 500 spirits for 10 EX in a pinch. So let's call it 9 available.

This month's acquisitions will include...Penny and Valerie. Sylveon Supremacy. I am not sold on anyone else. I've talked myself out of Roxie and Ryuki, I don't care about Piers or Elaine at present. I may go for the Eevee tier scout. Two guaranteed Eevesi along the way is nice, and if I roll one of Selene or Elio, I'll get the other at pity. I don't know if I'll EX them, it really depends on how I'm feeling about it. Since Valerie is already 20/20, we can get up to 8 others.

Rei - Really strong Fighting damage, Hisui bias, etc.

SS Silver - My Ice roster is basically "Irida." I should aim to boost that, and I like Silver and Sneasel well enough.

SS N - Frankly a terrible idea, I don't really respect him, but he is fun when I break him out. That said, meta shift, 15k Master Mode may not play so nice with him.

Ethan - If I decide to go hard on the Fire High Score event. Which I'm already backing out of.

Eevee Lucas - Same as Ethan, but also, Eevesi. He is the Only Good Flareon, so tempted.

Lodge Calem - Fennekin is baby. Also Fire High Score I guess, but mostly the baby thing.

Classic Blue - I use him semi-regularly thanks to the Roxanne/Lodge Steven comp. But as an off-type, that one is in Major Danger with the meta shift, so I'm not exactly sold on it.

Alder - Bug game is weak, I think it'd be nice to have a stronger Bug Man around, and I like Volcarona well enough.

Anni Steven - Maybe one day. I legitimately do want to do this one day.

Relevant Support Roundup:

Lana - Still not really feeling it.

BP Morty - Kinda unnecessary.

BP Surge - Helps his Gauntlet survival but I hate using him.

Lodge Blue - Don't really use him outside of Gauntlet.

Lodge Elesa - Don't really use her outside of Gauntlet

Lodge Raihan - Really don't respect it.

Nita (20/20) - I'm considering just because I've been F2P focused, but I don't like Nita or Lando, so...

Lodge Morty - Actually does see use, there's an argument to be made here.

Lodge Acerola - Less frequently used than Morty, but still sees play.

Lodge Adaman - Not actually good, but Eeveelution and Hisui.

Lodge Leaf - I've found more opportunities to try with her, but also I feel like Penny just walked in and knocked her teeth out.

The 20/20 I have a few pairs that are sitting at 20/20, and would just cost spirits. Given that I have enough powerups for 9 EX but enough spirits for 14, this may be worth looking at.

NC Marnie - Intensely unnecessary but kinda funny. Compresses Fiery Wrath.

SS Ethan - Also super unnecessary given he's 1/5, and Aeroblast doesn't even compress.

Victrier - I don't like Victor, but he's a free Field pair for Ghost, and I do like Spectrier. The recent Galar battle got me thinking about investing after all.

CANDY SITUATION Strike (4)

Petrel - 2. I mean. It's worth considering?

Rose - 2. He gets a lot stronger with it.

SS Ethan - 2. Full sync privileges, if that's a thing we care about now.

Honestly, just hold.

Tech (2)

SC Ingo - 2. Bug nuke man with MPR.

BT Leon - 2. I did EX him, and Dragapult has grown on me tremendously.

I'll likely do BT Leon, but at next datamine when I'm certain it's safe.

Support (2) None! Amazing. If I lucky pull H!Phoebe I'll consider it. "What about Pen-" Penny will cooperate or so help me god. I am done with it always being the support that goes bad. Just one month without needing Support candy, Penny! JUST ONE!

General (19)

Rei - 2. He's really strong, so this is a fairly sane investment overall. And Hisui, so you know, regional bias.

The Eevi - Okay, this is a big one. I hoard. I hoard so bad I have 19 of these general candy sitting in my lap right now. I have not used one...almost ever. That's a problem. I stockpile so I can avoid disaster, but at the point I can also just hand all five of them candy and probably still be over 10, we've reached the point I'm being ridiculous. I am willing to candy them. If I crack for Elio and Selene, I'm not going for the other Eevee scout and risking another disaster, I'm just using general candy. This shit ends now.

Cake Situation I have a Tech and a Support. Exactly nothing with these effects interests me right now. Holding. As for the potential for another Strike cake from Penny, I don't feel like anyone needs it. Akari's sync isn't that great, she's had no problem with DPS, and I sure as hell am not giving it to Penny. Hold all cakes.

LEVEL 150

Nemona - I don't use Nemona all that often, but that's a failure on my part, not hers.

Drasna - I love Drasna, I feel like I need to. Maybe if I shower her with affection, she'll show up off-focus.

BT Leon - My recent ScarVi competitive streak got me really hooked on Dragapult. I love that funky Ghostie Dragon.

SS Diantha - A little hesitant, but it is Diancie.

NC Serena - Considering because Serena and this is her best outfit. Hesitating because Greninja.

Bede - Look. We all need to accept that I like Bede.

Anni Skyla - Tornadus Therian is one of the only good djinn forms, and I really like her 3/5 kit.

SS Serena - I feel like it just makes sense but it's hard to justify.

Kahili - I like never use Kahili anymore but she was a big focus for a while there. Maybe when she gets EX.

Shauntal - Shauntal did get EX and I really like her DPS sets so I'm kinda tempted here.

Kris - Kick you apart, now even harder.

Clair - Favoritism.

Iris - I like running things that are bad.

Penny - Sylveon is good, and I like it.

VRISKA: After all, we had me there.

JOHN: haha, oh vriska.

JOHN: it's nice that you're basically the same exact person you always have been.

VRISKA: You're welcome.

JOHN: honestly i'm still a little bewildered by your being here?

JOHN: but guess i'm happy to see you anyway.

JOHN: especially in a context that doesn't involve any amount of kissing a clOUCH!

VRISKA: (Not right now, you fuckhead!!!!!!!!)

JOHN: (oh, crap.)

JOHN: (sorry.)

JOHN: um, anyway.

JOHN: thanks for helping out, i guess?

JOHN: i can take it from here though.

JOHN: okay.

VRISKA: ::::)

JOHN: ...

JOHN: um... if you don't mind, vriska?

VRISKA: Hm?

JOHN: i'd like to talk to my son please.

VRISKA: Oh!

VRISKA: Right.

VRISKA: Sure.

VRISKA: Don't let me get in your way!

VRISKA: I'll just 8e over here, 8asking in the knowledge of a jo8 well done and plotting acts of violence.

JOHN: haha, thanks.

VRISKA: (Mutter) (mutter) limping to a respecta8le distance (mutter) (mutter) right this second (mutter) (mutter).

VRISKA: (Mum8le) (mum8le) h8 to 8leed all over your touching reunion (mum8le) (mum8le).

JOHN: sorry about that harry anderson.

JOHN: where were we.

JOHN: oh, right, your escape!

JOHN: i guess i already said, but i knew you had it in you.

HARRY: yeah, i guess so...

JOHN: i realize that it was a lot to handle though.

HARRY: you can say that again.

JOHN: it wasn't until after i hung up that i even remembered that i never gave you that strife specibus for your 16th birthday!

HARRY: oh, it's ok... vriska had a spare.

HARRY: i put my sewing scissors on it.

HARRY: it was all i really had at the time.

JOHN: haha, that sounds familiar.

JOHN: i kind of stumbled ass backwards into getting stuck with my first hammer. but after a while, i couldn't imagine having picked anything else.

JOHN: i'm sure you'll do some amazing things with it. you already did, in fact!

JOHN: i'm sure jane is feeling really butt hurt about things this very minute.

JOHN: the prankster's gambit is tipped back in our favor, that's for sure.

HARRY: haha, yeah...

HARRY: if it's alright dad,

HARRY: i don't... really wanna talk about it all that much right now?

HARRY: you're right, it was kind of a lot to go through.

JOHN: that's okay!

JOHN: we don't have to talk about that if you don't want.

JOHN: honestly, who cares about strife specibi or the pranksters gambit or whatever.

JOHN: that's not what's important.

JOHN: i'm just glad to know that you're safe.

HARRY: ...

HARRY: dad?

JOHN: yes son.

HARRY: can i ask you a question?

JOHN: anything son.

HARRY: ok, cool.

HARRY: so...

HARRY: how come you're wearing that... thing?

JOHN: thing?

HARRY: you know.

HARRY: the windsock.

HARRY: i thought it was busy getting eaten by moths in a museum or something.

HARRY: please don't tell me you broke in there just to get it back.

JOHN: oh!

JOHN: oh haha, the god tier outfit.

JOHN: don't worry, i can just sort of manifest this whenever i want.

JOHN: although now that you mention it, the guys at the museum will probably be wondering where it went.

JOHN: or... maybe it's still there? to be honest, i have no idea whether this is the same outfit.

JOHN: i don't think it follows the same laws of physics and stuff that normal clothing does?

JOHN: they are just your basic magic pajamas at the end of the day.

HARRY: and it didn't occur to you to, y'know, magic them any bigger?

HARRY: you just look like, well, a grown adult wearing clothes for a kid.

HARRY: it's kind of embarrassing to look at...

JOHN: blargh, you're right.

JOHN: i admit, i didn't give it a whole lot of thought.

JOHN: it just felt like the right thing to put on at the time.

HARRY: i'm pretty sure no such time has ever existed.

JOHN: i don't BELIEVE this.

JOHN: what have i EVER done to deserve such cruelty from my own son.

HARRY: lmao.

JOHN: hehe.

JOHN: i guess you're right, though.

JOHN: this old thing is pretty uncomfortable in a lot of ways.

JOHN: hm...

JOHN: when we get a moment, maybe the two of us could brainstorm a redesign?

JOHN: no pressure though.

HARRY: !!!

JOHN: have a think about it, anyway.

JOHN: in the meantime, i need to go have a quick word with the other vriska.

VRISSY: Vrissy.

JOHN: oh.

JOHN: right.

JOHN: vrissy, sorry.

JOHN: hello there.

JOHN: i guess you were listening to all that?

VRISSY: Not really.

VRISSY: I just have a sense of hearing that's Particularly 8ttuned to the sound of Other People t8lking a8out me.

VRISSY: Or... well, I did until Recently.

JOHN: haha, i bet it's been a bit strange having the original vriska around.

JOHN: i will say that it is very confusing having both of you in the same place at once!

JOHN: oh man...

JOHN: now that i think about it...

HARRY: (dad...)

JOHN: this feels like the perfect conditions for some identical twin type shenanigans.

JOHN: like in the parent trap or something!

JOHN: i'm not sure how either of you would feel about being played by lindsay lohan though.

HARRY: (oh my goddddddd kill me now)

JOHN: but anyway, vrissy.

JOHN: your moms called me a while ago. they sounded very worried that you weren't answering your phone.

VRISSY: O8viously.

VRISSY: I was 8usy!

JOHN: well, anyway, they're on their way here. jade is coming too.

JOHN: they should arrive any minute.

VRISSY: Oh you're kidding.

TAVROS: (H, here they come now,,,)

TAVROS: (I can see them,,, over there,,,)
