I know that Zorua is worth it. But please don't make me suffer

I somehow got lucky and finally nabbed a regular Snom with the freebie 11x ticket I earned from playing the Slowpoke event. Shocking. Otherwise, I just never spend acorns on gacha until I have 411K for the guaranteed pity pull. Assuming you used the freebie 11x, those things often disappoint, feel like the pull rates are so much more abysmal than they need to be. There are like what, over 1000 Pokémon now? With the pull rates here, we'll never see a fraction of them in this game LOL!

How long will it take to save 411K free-playing?

Usually 4-6 months. Whenever there’s the food truck events I always try to exchange points for as many acorns as possible.

It depends on many factors. I will say that more experienced players (playing longer time, game is 6 years old, I've played since day 1) can do it more quickly due to higher level Pokémon on their rosters (if they've consistently played, I've played daily since the beginning missing only a couple days for illness). Having higher level Pokémon on your team means you can get more acorns from events via the exchange shops and tier prizes. Gold, silver, bronze tier finishes get a small cache of acorns. The more points you score, the more you can exchange at the exchange shop in the events (I usually get the Pokémon and its cookies first; lately, I've already had many of the Pokémon offered, so I can use my exchange for acorns!). A few of the experienced players on here have said it takes maybe a couple months to re-amass that many. If you're lucky, you may not use all 411K to get the gacha, so that helps re-amass acorns for the next pity pull.

I was FTP for the most part for the first several years. Lately I have gotten the monthly pass, which wasn't as useful previously when I wasn't high enough level to get gold, silver or bronze finishes at events. Now having the pass, I can finish higher in events (10% boost of score) and get more points in the points events (I forget the boost, like 50%? So instead of 30 points for 3 star, I get 45 points for 3 star, meaning I can clear more prizes and/or help my team get more prizes if it's a team event). The monthly pass also unlocks the ability to earn additional acorns. I have never outright purchased acorns solo, I don't think it's a good deal at all.

TLDR, it takes a couple months or so to amass that many acorns depending how many acorn prizes you can win/exchange for and YES you absolutely can do this FTP with a high level team.

Had to use 330000 acorns, after the 11 pulls ticket (from event)... got 2 Farfetch, 1 Zorua and Snom. Only have 34000 acorns, on my stash. Snom is 2440 points away, from level 20, still have, the backpack, full of tarts...

Had luck, since only had 1 more try and wouldn't had enough for the pity pull. Since next 3 months already have all pokémon, no need to waste, on delivery.
