Raihan and Sandaconda - I believe Serebii Website marks it with Max moves

Not going to lie, it's a skip month for me.

surprised Poppy got an alt before Rika. Guess they are saving it for Palentine? Sounds like the best moment in time for it.

Giovanni looks interesting but I'm satisfied with my dark roster. Will do dailies for the sake of tradition.

The Team Stars bosses, if I don't get them with dailies, I'll wait for select scouts

As for everything else...

Anni N got some interesting upgrades, specially in the form of EXR

The only one that really interest me is Raihan. I like both him and Sandaconda (though why can't it Gigantimax) and the utility he brings would be really nice for my Ground/Sandstorm teams. Giovanni would be next as I could use a better Dark support, but my luck with MF/Arc has been terrible lately and I don't want to go to spark, especially when half anniversary's set could have a favorite character of mine.

Giovanni - very cool looking alt and also gets the Johto tag but he's not a character I'm all that interested in so skip.

NY Raihan - another very cool looking alt but less so than Gio. I like Raihan but he'll also have to be a skip for now.

Poppy - don't care at all

Atticus - pulling him for sure, they're really rushing the star leaders out and I can't keep up

Mela - will depend on how I fare on the Atticus banner. I do really like her and he EX colours look really good so I might just go for her regardless.

Rock CS, one of the harder type CS especially with my abysmal roster. Managed to somehow make it work. Grant was my only unused rock unit.
Karen: Brock, Gordie, Olivia
Drake: Lodge Arven/Roark/SC Hilda
Malva: Lodge Raihan/Roxanne/Lodge Steven
Kahili: MC Regirock/Kukui/SS Brock
Blue: BP Olivia/DC Nemona/NC Silver

With this CS, I simply quit and went for off-type on nearly all stages except for the last.

Because I had some spare time, decided to compile the CS data I started collecting this year. Not surprisingly dominated by my favourite regions, Johto and Unova.

Now that I have a baseline, should be able to do cooler stats for next year

What evil person doesn't update the game late at night.

Anyway, Guzzvanni ate all my game gems (ignoring my 8k paid gems) so I'm starting poor next year. Heard that he's actually good for DCs.

Well It took me 6 multi-pulls to get guzzvanni, but as for elio and selene alts, well i felt like that i didn't have a choice so i used every last of my gems to get both of them. elio (alt) came in first and got 3 of his dupes after getting guzzvanni and then selene (alt) as part of the last of my gems.

I thought about going after NY raihan to synergy arc cynthia, but decided not to and just wait for another year for the re-run.

I'm pretty sure there may be something ahead of us on feburary including valentine's day event and whatever news that pokemon day will bring or give us.

Funny thing is that I have both of Bede's alts, yet the OG keeps evading me haha
In a fate-induced plot twist, while doing the Select Scout, I end up getting him

... As well as getting SS Roxie up to 3/5 duo some sort of miracle.

For what I've read, she is meta for DC, so that's pretty good.

Ice/Rock HS Event:
Grusha: Brock/DC Gladion/SC Hilda
Melony: Pal Bea/Hala/SS N
Brock: Dana/Ghetsis/Fall Shauntal
Roxanne: Melony/Irida/SS Silver
Grant: Glacia/Kukui/NC Silver

Got the 2 million before attempting Brock because he was a pain and wanted to lower the difficulty to beat him. Halfway through the stage realised that Ghetsis has Dragon Breath and could apply paralysis.

You won't believe how many Godfather references I've seen about Giovanni's new sygna suit.

I thought about pulling for atticus, but I decided to wait for the next datamine and see where it takes me although seasonal viola burned most of my gems so i'll just have to wait for the re-run on atticus. i'm pretty sure i'm waiting for a sync pair with meowscarada since there's a lack of love for grass types, but in hopes for of being a strike role or sprint with strike EX role

For the first time since they started the New Year's lucky gems thing, I got more than just the 300 gem participation prize. Instead, I got 600 gems. Time to use my new found riches to pull for Atticus.

Speaking of Atticus, they should have given him the Violet design, the purple works better with his outfit
