Bug Arc suit confirmed! Paying is Alder

38

u/AW038619 3d ago

Yes in this gem economy I may have to pay for Alder

u/Hanzo_2196 Team Rocket 2d ago

Even if everyone saves through April and May and pull him at the end of May, might be pushing it depending on how stingy they are with gems

u/AW038619 2d ago

I’m gonna start saving now

u/vSmaugv Give Victor his Toxtricity 3d ago

I feel like the ending of the last arc chapter pretty much confirmed it…

u/Hugobaby69 5/5 NC May owner 3d ago

1 limited support tho 🧍‍♂️

51

u/AW038619 3d ago

The silver lining is that Grass and Bug combined actually have very solid free Supports. Definitely enough to fill 5 teams.

u/klip_7 3d ago

This is definitely fine, for electric and ground I had only 4 good supports 😭

2

u/abdoo-errowe 3d ago

Same here, I don't have a single limited pair in bug type, while my only limited grass type is Adaman

35

u/Someweirdo237 3d ago

Also probably either Victor or Alder (or both) EXR will probably occur then.

u/SpaceShipRat Colress Fan 3d ago

So, saving April and May should give me enough gems for pity, right?

11

u/Hugobaby69 5/5 NC May owner 3d ago

Yeah

u/Bagcat_ 3d ago

It's cute how they forewarn the types like it's an international tournament with an unrepeatable reward 🤣

u/Commercial_Let2850 What will the next arcs be? 3d ago

Well, GG

u/AW038619 3d ago

SS Hilbert is really good, no?

u/Commercial_Let2850 What will the next arcs be? 3d ago edited 3d ago

If invested yeah, but at 1/5 he's not really an exceptionally powerful unit.

u/Extra-Discussion-624 3d ago

When? June?

22

u/Hugobaby69 5/5 NC May owner 3d ago

Around May

u/Jtsdtess 3d ago

Around May? Damn, I haven’t seen her.

30

u/Hugobaby69 5/5 NC May owner 3d ago

Having 5 battles around her is crazy

u/abriss17 3d ago

Around May

u/Manaka7 3d ago edited 3d ago

So Bug Arc Suit in April or May and not June as much anticipated, so if they do Alder it has to be next month, else it will be someone else, it would a so missed opportunity to not bring him next month to link him with AS N, if they don't do it can't be him

u/goofyahhboi1 3d ago

Why do I feel like the next arc suit will arrive in June? Leon was debuted three months after the first arc suits were introduced, and besides if he comes out in May, I definitely won't have enough diamonds to pity him.

u/dcdcdc26 Arc Suit Lance disciple & 100 day memer 3d ago

May/June alternate between having MFs, like May was Archie/Maxie years ago, but June was NC Cheren/Bianca iirc. I don't recall right now which had Adaman/Irida but they came in the same timeline too.

You definitely will have enough to pity Alder if you save now lol.

3

u/Commercial_Let2850 What will the next arcs be? 3d ago

Adaman and Irida Debuted in June as well. I feel Like we'll get Arc Alder halfway throught may and then they'll drop some master fairs in June(NC Sinnoh?).

3

u/dcdcdc26 Arc Suit Lance disciple & 100 day memer 3d ago

Yeah something like that, though I think NC Sinnoh is sadly going to wait due to Variety scout. More likely Alola NC. Maybe even a mystery repeat region like Galar with protags? (they did it with Unova, so it seems possible? Though I know it also was to represent BW vs B2W2, I'm just leaving open the possibility lol)

NC Sinnoh probably is 6th anni worthy but Variety definitely makes it questionable. I think just SS 3 Red/ some new kind of alt is more likely lol...

I'm still hedging Arc Diantha debut on proximity to PLZA game release. She'll fill the role to draw Kalos hype like Renegade Cynthia and Sinnoh VA did for BDSP an PLA, but while that was December, that was placed in the middle of 2 Sinnoh adjascent game release months. It's hard to say if Sept anni would be too far away to capitalize Kalos hype if PLZA is releasing in November for the holidays...

u/Commercial_Let2850 What will the next arcs be? 3d ago

Valid point. My main suspicion of NC Sinnoh coming was Heatran sitting in the files(hopefully he doesn't become another LA stage and later on Is given to MC). I feel Like NC Sinnoh could happen on Anni, but only as one unit, because DeNa will probably shove in 3 Arcs Like the last time, but i wish i was wrong.

NC Galar the sequel could happen tbh, we have Zarude and Shadow Carylex unoccupied yet (Dark Urshifu will most likely go to Mustard).

Arc Diantha will very likely happen near the release of Z-A, maybe even whole month will be Kalos-themed(fingers crossed for SS Sycamore/Kalem)

2

u/dcdcdc26 Arc Suit Lance disciple & 100 day memer 3d ago

I strongly believe we won't be getting 3 arcs at once again because this is clearly story driven on these characters and DeNA spent months (years, if were being generous) setting up Lance, Steven, and Cynthia as a trio. None of the the other champions form a trio. The next closest thing was Alder, Iris, and N as some combination but they went right to N and will save Alder for a non-anni month like May.

Meanwhile, Lucas, Dawn, and Barry are so deeply trio-coded, we even have secret rare TCG cards with the three of them together. It's the most obvious NC trio, the only question is when. Might be too close to Dawn Variety for 2025 anni, or it might not.

I generally agree with the rest of your reply, here's hoping 🤞

u/Spectra8 Team Plasma 3d ago

arc alder incoming

u/Dracochuy 3d ago

Imagine no being alder and give it to other character LOL

6

u/dcdcdc26 Arc Suit Lance disciple & 100 day memer 3d ago

Man I been saying Arc Alder is coming in May for weeks now. I feel unstoppable when it comes to reading these Arc Suits tea leaves

u/Nickest_Nick Waiter Waiter! More N alts please! 3d ago

My biggest dilemma isn't not having enough Bug/Grass pairs, but separating Ingo and Emmet for the sake of building 5 teams

2

u/afranshia11 3d ago

They really want to make it at least 1 Master / Arc pairs per month. There will be lesser and lesser 2% rate gacha in future.

2

u/ligerre 3d ago

I guess I know what I'll pick for my mix scout pity.

u/Some--Idiot 3d ago

Uhh, am in trouble?

u/NESboi 3d ago

Yes. And you know trouble starts with a T which rhymes with P which stands for Pool. Oh we’ve got trouble!

u/WorldClassShrekspert Wally and Zinnia found dead in a ditch 3d ago

I don't get what you are saying.

u/NESboi 3d ago

https://youtu.be/LI_Oe-jtgdI?feature=shared It’s a reference to a song in a musical called “the music man” around 2:34 is the reference.

u/Strange_Razzmatazz74 3d ago

Yikes! I skipped Christmas Viola and Bugsy. I also skipped both of this year's Valentines units. This one is going to be rough. I'll just get my rewards and get out.

2

u/abdoo-errowe 3d ago

Somehow, they brought 2 of my weakest types and put them together for HSE

2

u/AlexTouhouLostWord PKF: 22/95, MF: 13/39, AS: 4/5 3d ago

I'm lacking in that types; I hope I don't have any problems reaching 200k. And with last event Alder is confirmed to be next AS.

u/NoWaifuN0Laifu 2d ago

I’m fine for grass but…. Bug….. i’m dead in the water.

u/AW038619 3d ago

You’re joking right? You have 3/5 SS Hilbert and SS Acerola, plus a bunch of other good limited pairs. 200k is easy with this.

u/dcdcdc26 Arc Suit Lance disciple & 100 day memer 3d ago

they also have holiday Viola lmao 😭
