What is Pokémon Sleep?
Pokémon Sleep is a sleep tracking app that utilizes your smartphone and/or the Pokémon Go Plus + device to record data as you sleep. In doing so, you'll be able to meet a variety of Pokémon and fill out your Sleep Style Dex.

Be sure to post your Research ID so that you can add and share candy with fellow Anons. We are currently locked to having a total of 50 friends.

FAQ:
>How do Shinies work?
If you encounter a shiny Pokémon you only need to feed it a single Poké Biscuit in order to befriend it.
>What should I spend my diamonds on?
Expanding your ingredient pockets, item pockets and Pokémon box. Long term you’ll want to max out ingredient pockets, only get half of max for items and max 100 for Pokémon.
>When should I use my items?
When you have a good grasp of the game mechanics. You may want to save up Recovery Incenses for event missions.
>What should I spend my sleep points on?
Poké Biscuits first or if you’re a premium user: Main and Subskill seeds and Great Biscuits.
>Can I play this game if there's a lot of noise where I sleep?
The game tracks sleep based on motion only; sound has no impact.
>A Pokémon I fed got full! Will I have to start from scratch the next time I find one?
Nope! Pokémon will retain the level of progress they were at the last time you fed them.
>How do dream clusters work?
The higher your research rank the more you get. You may want to hold onto them until it’s necessary to use them.

I'm torn between doing lapis or greengrass for the event week. I've only got 10% bonus on lapis and greengrass is 55%. Just got the ability to get to 60% so maybe greengrass to max my bonus out before the next legendary.
>>
>>55732219
You will get that 60% soon enough with other beast events.
>>
Wish I could do lapis for event, but I have 11more types to see and I don't think I'll get there in time.
>>
>>55732219
Though they'll likely also be available on Greengrass just for accessibility, I think it's fairly likely that Suicune will also open on Cyan Beach, and Entei on Taupe Hallow, so I'm focusing on those areas for my "off" time.
>>
>>55732219
I'd weigh how readily you're able to get the incense reward at Lapis Lakeside.
Hitting Master 3 on Lapis Lakeside is pretty tough, and the grade of Pokémon and sleep styles is reflected in that.

Whilst Lapis Lakeside does have Chikorita available (whereas Greengrass does not), Greengrass also has Sylveon where Lapis doesn't.

I'm personally leaning towards Lapis, as I can get my area bonus to 30%, compared to the 60% I already have for Greengrass. I'm still hunting for a BFS Dratini in any case.
The meal bonus will be a lot more meaningful on Lapis Lakeside, than it is on Greengrass, plus there's the added security of having a good LL team ready. It's a gamble what berries you'll get on Greengrass.
>>
>>55732750
>Suicune will also open on Cyan Beach, and Entei on Taupe Hallow
Why does anyone think this when the events are always held on Greengrass?
>>
>>55733433
Cause the next event isn’t?
>>
>>55732750
>>55733764
The events have either been GG or all islands. The important ones have all been GG, but maybe they'll extend to TH and CB if Entei and Suicune keep spawning there even after the end of the event. It's still pretty unlikely though.
>>
>>55733887
The events that have been Greengrass exclusive are because 100% of players have access to that area.

To hold an event exclusive to Cyan Beach, even if you can unlock it really quickly, risks excluding newer players.

Thematically, it makes sense to host Suicune and Entei at Cyan Beach and Taupe Hollow respectively, but that may not be what happens.
>>
>>55733950
They could hold the event at GG + another island like the Dratini one.

Personally I prefer GG and hope the next island will be random because it incites you to raise and use more pokemon.
>>
>>55733433
>>55733887
I'm thinking both will be open: Greengrass and their respective island. The only reason most other events take place on Greengrass only, is because it's the most accessible for new players, but they can also alter the preferred berries without disrupting the normal favorites, and alter spawns to whatever they want since practically everything spawns there.
During the Lapis Lakeside launch, some pokemon that are exclusive only to that new area, were also allowed on Greengrass for the limited event only. And since Suicune is Water (Cyan Beach preferred) and Entei is Fire (Taupe Hallow preferred), it doesn't seem like much of a stretch to have the event take place there as well.
>>
>>55734033
I hope they don't do random islands because dragon steel poison I got one week on greengrass was hell.
>>
>>55734417
Those three types, along with Bug, Electric, and Ghost, are the six types that have yet to get set islands.

I think what'll likely happen is the next two islands will assign these remaining six types out, and anything after that will have random berries.
The reason to do it that way is you'll have islands ready to help you get effective helpers of all types, and be ready for true randomness on a final island.
Greengrass is meant to be forgiving with whatever berries you roll, because you can climb the ranks so quickly anyway.
>>
>>55734549
Ghost/poison/bug forest and Dragon/electric/steel ruins maybe?
>>
>>55734577
I feel like that's how it'd go.
Although maybe not because the type groupings don't necessarily make sense, like Ice / Dark / Normal for Snowdrop Tundra.
I guess they had to throw in Normal type somewhere.
>>
I'm over par for my 1-biscuit-per-day stock limit, so I should actually be on ultra conservative mode for the guaranteed hungry pokemon that will show up during the upcoming event.
>>
>>55735695
If it's not hungry it doesn't get a biscuit, a lot of pokemon are already fat fucks anyway
>>
>>55735695
>>55735916
do you guys only feed the hungry stuff? I only try to feed what I'm looking for. Right now I'm mostly focused on berry specialists.
>>
>>55734577
I would guess Steel/Poison/electric for a power plant or modernized place. Still interested to see what we get next
>>
>>55735988
Lately I've just been feeding anything that I could conceivably use if it got a decent enough roll, with an obvious lack of emphasis on pokemon lines that I already have a good team member of. I'll also often skip hungry pokemon if it's not something that I'll have any use for, even if it's only the candies they'll give upon release. I also rarely end up feeding the 16-point single-stagers anything, just because it's such a drain on resources unless they are specifically hungry.
>>
>>55735988
>>55736069
to me, not feeding hungry mons (unless I don't have any and just need to use the bonus biscuit) feels like a bit of a waste, and feeding non hungry mons feels similar

And given subskills+nature can make or break basically anything, ignoring hungry ones and not getting the most out of the biscuits you do have seems silly

I think if I was just starting out the game it'd be good to be more aggressive with biscuits to try and get certain berry mons or whatever, but I have a lot of pokemon, and a decent amount of good ones, so I can just be more stingy with biscuit use to save up for the times when there is something to go after
>>
>>55735988
This morning I got a hungry Jigglypuff, and Clefairy.
I don't need either of those, and they're also ones you don't want to recruit because they miss out on a much important evolution for those main skill and carry limit upgrades.

What I did get though, was two Ralts encounters and my daily gift was 3x Poké Biscuits.
Started with feeding the first Ralts a single biscuit, which crit for 3x friendship points.
I fed the second Ralts a single biscuit, and fed the first Ralts one more biscuit to avoid the first one going full.
The second one, I fed my premium bonus biscuit and it didn't go full on its second feeding, so I fed it the third Poké Biscuit and managed to befriend two Ralts in one morning.

Unfortunately neither Ralts were worth keeping, but raising the friendship level boosts the chances of getting "better" ones in the future (more likely to have gold skills of which only a few are actually good).

>>55736575
Unfortunately all currently available poison type Pokémon are pretty trash.

If you want to fill out your dex (both sleep styles and befriended), there's no harm in getting a few hungry Pokémon befriended anyway.

I hope that they give us the Nidoran family in the future, they could be good poison types depending on what role or stats they decide to give it.
I'm not entirely sure if main game base stats determines effectiveness in Sleep, but I feel like they just do whatever and pick favourites.
Compare Venusaur and Toxicroak for example.
Venusaur has a base speed of 80, but in sleep has a helping speed of 30.86x.
Toxicroack is base 85 speed, but helping speed 25.41x. It also only has access to two kinds of ingredients (oil and sausages), not three like most other species.
>>
>>55736656
They're designated trash-rolls, not become less common as you get better drowsy power.
Getting off of Greengrass Isle also makes spawns a lot more interesting.

It's a game designed to be played just a little bit at a time daily, it's a long haul game and it's not a fit for everyone.
>>
>>55736674
Venosaur is also a grass berry mon but I get your point.
I wouldn’t mind sausages but I already got too much oil from non-ingredient specialists.
>>
>>55735988
For me, bonus biscuit priority goes:
>Mon I want + hungry
>Mon I want
>Hungry
>16 blip single stage mons
>Mid evos/full evos
>base mons
Kind of sucks that I've gotten to the last tier more frequently than not. I didn't think I'd ever reach that point and the release of a single mon every other month is barely holding my interest in the app.

>>55737695
In this game it is regrettably pretty trash in terms of stats and role.
Gulpin and Swalot have a big disadvantage of being poison types in a game that doesn't need them right now.

Dream Shard Magnet users are intentionally not great at gathering strength, even Lucario.
If you do want a DSM user, it's Lucario for having the best helping speed and skill trigger rate.
>>
>>55737373
I am kind of expecting it to be fake, I mean having a "spring" event eventually would be kind of obvious since all the other mobile games are doing it. If this were legit and the v24xx etc. are the months it will happen, that would barely leave it room for the fire event.
The Sleep Health week is the beginning of August, so anyone could be googling sleep related events and make a list.
>>
>>55737786
Yeah, but consider the factor of "I like it more than Lucario".
But yeah, obviously a pokemon without an island to take consistent advantage of is going to be subpar right now, but most poison types will get a boost once we gain access to one.
>>
Looking for more sleep friends. I’ve got 9 empty slots.
>>
For a long time I just did Taupe Hollow over and over again, mainly because I liked those pokemon, and I wanted to catch more of them. In consequence I was re-using the same team of ground pokemon every week and they got really strong.

But now I do greengrass isle which requires different types every week, and we have all these type-specific events. I feel like I am wanting to train up different pokemon every week, and in consequence, none of them are very strong.

It's kind of sad, because, Pokemon is much cozier with a small group of best-bros than a bunch of mediocre pokes.

Maybe I'll have to focus on a small set by pure discipline, and resist changing it up every week.

Can anyone relate?
>>
>>55738255
Yup, pretty much doing the same. Currently just running the starters I like, which admittedly at a high enough level is strong enough, at least in my own opinion.
I'll probably have Suicune up permanently until the next legendary run since it's a Pokemon I really like.

BFS makes it tempting, but it compromises on its main role as an E4E heather.

Exactly, but preferred berries on Lapis and getting less screwed the berry roll on GG would be nice. Also variety on ingredients would be a plus with apples and corn.
>>55738969
>>
>>55738747
As long as you upgrade to Skill Trigger M, it can hold its own. The real shame is any lack of support from nature or other Helping Speed abilities. So above average, but only just decent. And yes, Berry Finding S will impact its skill triggers if it fills up too fast, though that's less of an issue once it evolves into its final stage. Still reduces its chances of picking up a skill trigger overnight though, since that's when you're basically guaranteed to fill up.

>>55739082
I don't think skill pokemon are really worth using unless you're building for their skill that's REALLY good, or if the pokemon has Berry Finding to act as a makeshift berry farmer. Just a skill nature and Helping Speed aren't going to make it anywhere near competitive versus regular berry or ingredient pokemon.
>>
Good Night /zzz/
>>
>>55738892
>>55739135
So I did run analysis on that Ralts, and surprisingly as a Gardevoir, it performs pretty well. Keep in mind that both Ralts and Kirlia are considerable under-performers, in-line with their general lack of stats in the main series.

With Skill Trigger S alone, it appears to have a skill trigger rate on-par with a Wigglytuff that has both Skill Trigger S, and a Main Skill Chance boosted nature.
However, BFS does reduce the chances of Gardevoir having a main skill trigger ready when waking from sleep.

Gardevoir is a straight upgrade to Wigglytuff in many ways. An alternative berry, arguably better ingredients, , faster helping speed, greater skill trigger chance, which together combined make it both a better strength contributor and better healer with less reliance on subskills to achieve a level of performance on-par with an optimal Wigglytuff (like my shiny one, pic related).

I'd be hard pressed to retire my beloved shiny Wiggly, but there could come a time where she's relegated to dedicated to Cyan Beach, whereas a Gardevoir would be used everywhere else and especially good on Lapis Lakeside.
>>
>>55740136
How does BFS decrease the chance of skill being ready? I don't get it. Looking for a good Ralts as well and I guess it would help to know. I thought it would only influence berry/ingredient ratio and sneaky snacking?
>>
>>55740136
The problem with Gardevoir is that it's significantly harder to level up than Wiggly and Sylveon. I have just enough candy to get my Ralts to 25 with 120 left to evolve it twice, while my Wiggly already being at 50+ means it has the advantage of an extra subskill, ingredient slot, and higher berry strength to make up for Gardevoir's faster helping speed. Even at Lapis, Gardevoir's berries would only slightly out-earn Wiggly's, and that's without factoring in the extra ingredients. Overall I don't feel like it's worth investing a lot of main skill seeds/handy candy just to upgrade my healer which I am already satisfied with, especially since we don't know what could be added in the future.
>>55740291
BFS means the mon will collect double the berries and thus fill up its inventory faster. Once its inventory is full, it will be unable to trigger its skill if it didn't already have it set before being full.
>>
Is this eevee worth investing in? I don't have a Vaporeon yet and having a level 4 ingredient magnet for cyan beach for the comfey event seems tempting
>>
>>55740555
Speed of help down isn't very fun.
>>
>>55740555
Without skill trigger, it's not going to be very good. That, plus speed of help down isn't doing it any favors. Really the only thing going for it is Skill Level Up M, but you can easily find one better before the event starts.

>>
>>55741377
Not really, skill specialist pokemon are notoriously undersea if they aren't e4e users.
A skill specialist should be potent to make up for the weaker strength boost due to less berries and ingredients.
>>
>>55741377
Because even idealized versions of these species were pretty lackluster. Sudowoodo sort of gets away with it with a maxed out main skill level, but the other two Charge Strength M users are much stronger and more reliable for their activations.
I also assume that the carry limit buffs are actually to help smooth out their skill activations. They had previously buffed skill types to have a guaranteed trigger after a certain period of time, so the inventory increases are probably to help them pick up a skill overnight at least.

Swalot and Sableye were actually already slightly competitive with Lucario if you were just going for Dream Shards alone, so now they might be worth considering if that's literally all you want. They are still a HUGE main skill seed investment, but their upsides on shards are double that of Lucario (up to 3600 vs 1800 per trigger).

I wonder what that even looks like? Presumably using third party or side loaded apps to tamper with or falsify sleep sessions. Maybe messing with the Go Plus+ accessory?

It probably isn't meant to catch out people who start sleep tracking earlier than climbing into bed, or end sleep tracking later after climbing out of bed. It's dishonest but not software tampering.

People were waking up between 4-6AM on monday, finishing their week, starting a new one, and cooking dinner on the new island with the sunday boost still active (since it lasted until 6AM). Basically you sacrificed your final dinner in the week for a boosted start on the following week, which is more impactful.
In order to discourage people from waking up at such hours and "exploiting" this, they are now making it so you can only cook dinners up to 3:59 AM, meaning that the boost won't be active.

I've come to the conclusion that Ingredient Pokemon with Berry Finding S are the best Pokemon. There's no "feelbad" when they pick up ingredients, because it's a bunch. There's no "feelbad" when they get berries, because you get 2. And even rare skill procs are still on par with berry farmers.

>>55745697
They won’t because you can stack it. That alone makes them think that you won’t need it.
Personally, I’d like them to make it a lower increase of XP but boxed mons count as well. Same for dream shards and energy rec. that way keeping trash „might be worth it“ and you’ll have a true reason to increase your box size beyond 100 (current cap at 1000).

I ran a team of Raichu, Pikachu, Pichu, Jolteon (all BFS) during the Raikou event, and was able to consistently hit Master 15 both weeks, would it be an idea to run a similar team but with Cyndaquil/Quilava/Typhlosion/Arcanine, or would I be better off running triple Typhlosion and foregoing the Helper Boost 5 effect?

>Personally, I’d like them to make it a lower increase of XP but boxed mons count as well.
I have no idea what you're asking for.

>>55745804
Berry strength growth is exponential, so I don't see a reason why you wouldn't try running more actually different pokemon families since that's easier on your resources. If you really have enough to have 3 Typhlosions running, then sure, go for it.
>>
>>55745839
Make it so that Research EXP up mons that are in your box also increase Research EXP for every sleep session, so that not just the mons in your team that have it increase the EXP.

I agree with more ingredient bag space but you won’t need more than 300 inventory space ever unless you’re a hyper whale or extremely frugal.
Diamonds are also able to buy biscuits in the shop (only consistent way for a F2P to get great biscuits) and XP incenses or the best thing you could buy: good camp tickets.

I'm at about 300 item space too atm, and yeah that's just because I'm holding onto my dream clusters for as long as possible.

Good camp tickets are undoubtedly the best item in the shop there, but you should only use them for the most important events where you need the added strength gians and Pokémon encounters.

Premium plan is far, far superior to anything in the diamond shop honestly. The premium bonus biscuit, added sleep points, premium sleep points store, and the occasional gift of good camp tickets and other nice things makes it worthwhile.
Buying diamonds ain't it. Use the ones you get for free on storage upgrades above all else.

I would say XP incense is eh, not worth buying.
Sure you can use one on a good-sleep night to get an effective 4x sleep EXP earning up to 400 EXP, but that's only the equivalent of using 16 candy or getting four regular nights of sleep.
Technically 80 candy if you consider using a team of five Pokémon, plus no dream shard expense.

I gotta imagine there's whales out there that use an XP incense every single night and their Pokémon are way higher level than usual for it.
>>
>>55746372
pokemon are capped at level 55 for now, no?
>>
>>55746377
So does your rank I think
>>
>>55746377
>>55746401
Yes but got to remember maxed mon fills candy bar. I have one about to hit 55 in the next week and will be nice to see the bar again. Being maxed rank gives exp converted to dream shards and I currently am bottlenecked by shards so I'm hoping that helps.
>>
>>55746435
I decided to go less hard at leveling. My sleep dex is ready in case a new area is released, my shards are only at 250k at the moment
>>
>>55746435
The research EXP to dream shard conversion helps a ton, it's more or less 50% extra dream shards.
I'm gonna enjoy that whilst it lasts, because they'll inevitably raise the max research rank again sometime. It might even happen sooner with the planned v1.5.0 app upgrade?

My shiny Wiggly and BFS Raichu are currently level 52, and could be on their way to level 55 but probably not before a level cap increase.
Whilst I could level them up now it'd cost about 67k dream shards each, so maybe not worth it to get one or two extra handy candy S for what might be a few weeks.
Levelling up Pokémon earlier rather than later makes a big difference in dream shard expenditure.

>>55746794
Is that 250k shards with or without using up clusters? Fully upgraded cooking pot at 57 capacity?
I'm at about 135k shards without tapping into my clusters.
At research rank 55, my 130 Dream Cluster S are worth 2054 each, and my 21 Dream Cluster M are worth 12,324 each. I can exchange those for up to 525,824 shards.

Since it costs about 177k to level a Pokémon from level 10 up to 50, or 298k from 10 to 50, I'll continue to hold onto the dream clusters until I REALLY need them. So far I've been doing fine with whatever I earn from sleep research or strength rankings.
>>
>>55747140
We will likely get another candy boost event for Entei/Fire Week. You can level your bros when that happens
>>
>>55748139
Hah, do NOT use candy boost to level anything past 30. That's when shards-per-candy costs really start to hike up, and candy boost does absolutely no favors for that.

My Dearest Margaret,

The nights have been long, cold, and uneven. It has been a fortnight and I have nere managed even a crumb of good Pokemon. They come, but they are nothing but stragglers and scabs unable to carry the weight of their own body, let alone their pack. Food is scarce that I have begun scraping the edges of my Poke Biscuit rations and am sure to exhaust my supply before month's end. There is no hope left for me, my darling. Should you fail to receive further letters, I only ask that you refrain from looking in my desk. Burn it if you will, but pay no effort to any contents found within.

Yours Truly,
Nathadniel

Did they stop converting research EXP into dream shards once you hit the level cap?

There's an option in the settings somewhere to turn off the reminder that your research EXP is being converted into dream shards.

The daily results doesn't actually display your previous and current dream shards after earnings, so you'd have to manually check what your held shards are before and after sleep.

Seems good to me. Good nature, though probably would have preferred a Helping Speed sooner than later and gingers over beans, but overall very solid.
It would probably be pretty hard to come across something better unless you're close to level 10 friendship to guarantee those gold skills. Though even then, that's a bit of a crap shoot going for 1/7 Berry Finding ON TOP of complimentary skills/nature.
>>
usable?
>>
>>55751988
Technically yes, but I don't think I would want to invest in a Pseudo without Berry Finding at level 10 or 25. It's going to take about 400 candies just to get it to a level 25 Dragonair, so whatever you pick better be well worth it. To get to Dragonite from there is a whole 'nother journey.
Either you have really strong ingredient finding capabilities, or you have Berry Finding to offset whenever it fails to gather ingredients.

It doesn’t matter for ingredient specialists but it matters for hard to train Pokémon. Everything that’s either pseudo, legendary or has a XP down nature needs BFS IMO.

>>55750372
I already have a ton of berry farmers for Taupe, but not a lot of Steel type pokes. I imagine it's inevitable they will make a map for Steel type berries, and I'll be ready.

Any way Steelix is cooler than Onyx and I like having Steelix-Bros.
>>
>>55752261
Because even at max ingredient finding, it's picking up ingredients about 40% of the time or less. Plus it's easily going to fill up its inventory during your sleep, so you might as well get some extra power out of it though sneaky snacking. So even if your ingredient specialist has an ingredient down nature, a BFS ingredient-type is still a better all-rounder than most dedicated berry farmers.

>>55752352
I mean, it's pretty much set for now considering you can't get past level 55 yet. And it being a Psuedo, it's going to take quite a while for it to become a Tyranitar let alone unlock even its level 50 skill.

What decides when the app auto darkens?

A strange problem to have, my cooking pot is at maximum size (57), and my Lapis Lakeside team is gathering ingredients faster than I'm able to use them.
My team is level 52 Wigglytuff, level 52 BFS Raichu, level 30+ BFS Meganium, level 30+ BFS Victreebel, and level 30+ Bewear (all corn).
The Victreebel has been a beast at gathering potatoes, so I've been selling the excess in favour of adding more corn.

As it turns out, this team formation is able to gather all the ingredients needed for Greengrass Salad, and for Calm Mind Fruit Salad, which is fantastic for salads (and the guaranteed salads next week).
I have to swap in a Cooking Power-Up S user to be able to make Greengrass Salad during the week though, since it needs 62 ingredients.
These two salads incidentally also have no ingredient overlap except for corn, which makes it easier to alternate the two when you're short on ingredients for either.

The nature is tragic, but ironically would contribute more strength than a BFS Charizard with an Ingredient Finding boosting nature, or an Ingredient Finding optimised set without BFS.

Ralts starts off very weak, but once evolved up into a Gardevoir it'll be an amazing support.
It won't reach it's best potential until level 50, but will still perform really well at 25 onwards. Inventory Up boosts the likelihood of getting a skill trigger after waking up.

NTA but here:
it gathers berries most of the time and if it does ingredients it’s tomathoes
>>
>>55756874
I haven't invested into any of these as Taupe Hollow hasn't been my focus for a while.
Like most players, I just unlock the ingredient somehow and then let Ingredient Magnet S users gather them. This might end up being better than actually running the dedicated ingredient gatherer even if it does restrict your means to make certain recipes consistently.

For Taupe, I have pretty good Charizard, Typhlosion, Flareon, Golem, Pupitar, and then I always have my shiny Wiggly running.
The plan was that whenever I go back to Taupe Hollow, I'll focus on getting my Pupitar evolved up into Tyranitar and finally go to Snowdrop Tundra, and hope to find a good Dugtrio or Marowak in that time.

It's pretty crap that literally only Diglett/Dugtrio and Ditto gather Leeks at 30, but then there are six families that unlock Leeks at 60 (Ralts, Houndour, Bellsprout, Mr. Mime, Chikorita, Raikou).
These obvious bottlenecks are by design though, it gives them the option to introduce an exciting new Pokémon that falls the gap.
>>
>>55757550
An exception to the "just unlock the ingredient" thing for me was mushrooms.
I wanted a good Gengar very early on, and got an excellent roll somewhat recently. I powered her up to a level 30 Gengar as soon as Monday rolled around with the "use 262 candies" mission, and she's been absolutely fantastic at gathering herbs and shrooms.

>>55757567
Is charge strength the worst skill to have?
>>
8 months. Although the calculated time works out to around 6.5 months of actual nights used. While it has Sleep EXP Bonus and slept through a good number of Good Sleep weeks, that seems to be about the time it takes with extremely minimal candy usage.
>>
>>55757674
Not necessarily.
Many three-stage Pokémon get the skill, and its effect scales with the area bonus.
Variable Charge Strength S at level 3 has a range of 393 to 1570, which you would expect to average out to 981; an improvement over the non-variable version which is a fixed 785 strength.
I have a BFS Meganium that also happened to have Skill Level Up M on level 25, so it enjoys variable Charge Strength S. It proc'd today and added over 3000 strength to Snorlax, which is more than a good helping of its favourite berries.

Golduck is a variable Charge Strength S user that notably has an absurdly high based skill trigger rate of 12.5%. If you raise to level 7, the gains range from 1501 to 6004!
It requires frequent interaction, but a choice Golduck can be extremely effective due to every gather having a 1/8 chance to trigger its skill.

For Gengar, the main skill isn't the point and it's just a small bonus atop of its main role of getting you lots of ingredients really fast. For that reason, a nature that reduces the main skill chance is welcome, such as Rash or Naughty.
Ingredient specialists have a less advantageous nature pool, since unlike berry specialists there isn't a strictly beneficial decrease to pick from.
Rash is arguably the best nature for ingredient specialists (that lack Ingredient Magnet S), because the alternatives for increasing Ingredient Finding are to reduce EXP, Energy Recovery, or worst of all Helping Speed.
>>
>>55757674
>>55757891
It's less about the skill itself, and more about who has it.

Take Charge Energy S for example, a user can just recover 2-3 hours of its own energy on a whim, and keep working its best. The majority of Pokémon with this skill are berry or ingredient specialists, enabling them to keep gathering the good stuff, and it's particularly notable on Dragonite and Tyranitar, but also good on Victreebel and Dodrio.

However, Umbreon is a Charge Energy S skill specialist with no particular berry or ingredient proficiency and a slow helping speed.
As a result, its main skill only serves to keep its mediocre gathering capabilities at peak performance, which is a real shame.
Most skill specialists are given skills that either build strength directly (Charge Strength, Extra Helpful, Ingredient Magnet), indirectly (Energizing Cheer, Energy for Everyone, Cooking Power-Up S, Tasty Chance), or very indirectly (Dream Shard Magnet).
Charge Energy S is the only purely self-serving main skill, which is a bad fit for skill specialists that serve a support role.

Umbreon is a waste of sleep hours honestly.
Even with main skill chance down it triggers far too often.
>>
>>55758406
That just frees you up to an even broader nature/skill range to be usable. I mean it's not like it's particularly preferable above any of the other Eeveelutions with Berry Finder, but it's on par in practice. Its self-charging matters a bit more now that energy drains during sleep, so going to sleep at the 150 energy cap means that it's actually capable of running at peak speed 24/7.

>>55758638
And the pic didn't keep when I refreshed. Of course
>>
>>55758406
Umbreon has a skill trigger rate of 14.1%, that's why really.
Compare to that to say, Tyranitar with the same skill but a 5.1% trigger rate.

>>55758493
Like, yeah Umbreon has the privilege of staying absolutely juiced, but that doesn't amount to much.
Most other dark types with sub-optimal energy are still going to out-perform a fully juiced Umbreon.
>>
>>55758771
I don't consider any Eevee/Eeveelution without BFS worth using, with the exceptions of Sylveon and Espeon who go for maximum skill triggers. So in comparisons, I always compare Eevees with BFS vs non-BFS other pokemon.
The benefit of Eevees is that they're very accessible so that you can easily reach the level 10 friendship boost to get the guaranteed gold skill, as well as easily encounter dozens that you can sift through to find actual decent ones. Most of the line can just be considered makeshift berry farmers due to the lack of berry types in general and are by no means the top of their class.
>>
>>55758856
What about Glaceon as an ingredient farmer
>>
>>55758926
Flareon and Glaceon have perks of being able to gather Milk and Cacao for Taupe Hollow and Snowdrop Tundra respectively, and both having Cooking Power-Up S to help out.
It should only be considered as a minor source though, but Flareon does help out for an island notoriously lacking in dessert options.
>>
>>55758926
The entire Eevee line is stuck with the same ingredients, and it's quite bad at getting them. Flareon is OK for getting milk for Taupe as long as it has it also has 2x milk at level 30, but I wouldn't delegate ingredient farming to anyone but ingredient types.
There are a handful of non-ingredient pokemon that can gather 3x on their level 30 ingredient however (Meganium and Altaria for example). I always consider that welcome and preferred regardless of what actual ingredients are being gathered, but it's still no replacement for actual ingredient types.

I’ve been sitting on this cyndaquil for weeks now as I try to find a better one, but I never seem to get one to appear.

The old calculator had given it an A, which I thought was too high, but with this in mind it might actually be worth investing in this guy, especially once he hits level 50 and he has skill level 5.
Or maybe I’m just getting antsy and hoping to have a decent fire team by the time entei drops.
>>
How many anons actually take lvl 75 and 100 skills into consideration when choosing mons to keep? I can almost justify looking at the lvl 60 ingredient slot, but those last two skill slots just feel like a dumb tease more than anything.
>>
>>55759733
There's nothing that's particularly conductive to what Typhlosion is doing and the old calculator was pretty "dumb" about it's evaluations. It didn't take into account the species focus and just assigned arbitrary values to each of the skills possible. While Typhlosion's skill is decent, building for the skill specifically isn't super great. I'd consider it a nice bonus, but not much more above that. It's certainly better than a lot of other possibilities, but at the same time I wouldn't be that excited about it.

>>55759765
If anything, skills at level 75 and 100 end up actually being reasons to dismiss a certain load out. It's pretty common that M skills show up there, leaving you only access to S skills that can't be upgraded. And any big skills at those levels are pipe dreams at this point since it's much easier to keep rolling until you find those skills in earlier spots.

I agree, Raenonx' behaviour shouldn't be rewarded.
If you get "connection closed" when navigating the site, simply reloading the page works just fine, it's a relatively minor nuisance.

I use uBlock origin and it looks like the default lists now stop the delayed ad-swaps/nags to an extent.
Looking at Raenonx's Reddit comments though, the guy has his head up his ass and doesn't understand catching more flies with honey than with vinegar. I am not endeared to support his site, and if he's complaining about costs he should learn how to perform basic optimisation (don't serve hundreds of large uncompressed images).

It's regrettable because his site does have some genuinely valuable resources, and I've been willing to pay for apps like CalcyIV (Pokémon Go assistant app) because they offer a genuine value and weren't obnoxious with their free version.
He seems really immodest about what he's trying to achieve though. He's apparently getting $794 a month from a few hundred supporters, which should probably be enough to host a modest version of the Sleep Info Wiki, but he's apparently paying Discord mods and stuff too?
He seems intent on way over-delivering features to sell as premium for what most people will want to use as a resource to learn about which Pokémon work best, and which subskills work best. Sleep is not that complex of a game, the number crunching is not that crucial to playing it (though neat to see), so much as the decisions made that form a Snorlax feeding strategy to try and get the best gains week on week.

If a Pokemon has Energy Recovery down,you have an Energy Recovery Bonus Pokemon, and you sleep for a whole 8.5 hours, mathematically that brings them to a 100 (based on them getting to 88 after 100 sleep, and 1.14 being 114 energy), but does that work in practice?
>>
>>55762090
Help speed down wouldn't be so bad, it's the ingredient finders that seal the deal on it sucking.
>>
>>55762090
I think the bigger detriment is actually the loads of Ingredient Finder. I'm pretty sure that even with BFS, that many detractors ends up worse than a regular Chikorita with lots of Helping Speed.

>>55762108
Hardly. Its skills and ingredient loadout are good, but the skills are in a reverse order to be of any use.

>>55762191
Energy Recovery Bonus should be enough to get an energy down pokemon to 100% after a full sleep. But sleep energy caps at 100%, so it doesn't do anything to normal pokemon unless you're splitting your total sleep time by tracking twice per day.

Depends what you want.
If you just want a Comfey, Cyan Beach has the most narrow selection of favored spawns. It's Snoozing type, but you'll have a chance to encounter it regardless of sleep style during the event. Good Sleep Week is also happening in the middle of it, which should net you better chances so long as you meet the minimum appearance rank.

>>55763137
Pretty good IMO. Natures end up being slightly better than S-rank subskills just stats-wise, but M-rank subskills are way more impactful. A Subskill Seed now, then a Subskill Seed later to get an extra +1 Main skill will have it near the top of its class. Plus you've got a good ingredient spread.
You could try to keep rolling as you get your level 10 friendship, but Helping Speed M and Skill Trigger M are basically the most preferred set for a skill-focused pokemon.

I don't know if that actually works or not, if you can cheese the meal times by changing the time on your phone versus the server time.

Behaviour like yours will make them clamp down on exploits, and make it so that it tracks each individual meal for each day as to not have 8 dinners in one week.

Also think about how this actually benefits you.
You're just adding maybe 20-60k or 40-120k strength to a week long effort maybe, when the focus should be the week-on-week gains from improving your teams and boosting your area bonuses.
You also deprive yourself of a final strength gain this week, that might give your Sunday night sleep the needed boost for a really high Drowsy Power for an actual good sleep style discovery.

I've mentioned a few times that it's always worth making meals on Sunday even if reaching the next strength rating is an impossibility, specifically because the Drowsy Power is more important to earning research EXP and dream shards through better sleep styles discovered.
