Now I'm wondering if I should head to Taupe next week just to continue building it up for Fire Week and Entei's arrival. Technically it's a free week, but can't decide if I want to keep trying for Dratinis.
Actually, guess I should go to Taupe. I'm at 40%, so depending on when Entei shows up, I may not be able to reach the 60% cap.

what should I look into an eevee to turn it into a decent flareon?

I happen to have two Raikous. Do their effects stack if I have both of them out?

taupe will almost definitely be the best spot for the new pokemon and the newly available pokemon

>>55803582
The only thing I would care about is BFS and milk at level 30. If you want to go further, then just more help speed. IMO skill triggers are tertiary for Flareon.

>>55803674
Vulpix isn't show up until Fire Week starts, and that's not until the following week.

>>55803354
Free week but might as well if you still need more fire shit or want to get the boost up for earlier entei spawns

Woke up to a second shiny Bulbasaur this morning, and he's a bit more usable than my first one.
I would've preferred one with tomatoes though, since I have no problem gathering honey with a Wigglytuff and a Meganium.

The combination of Meganium and Victreebel kinda renders Venusaur unnecessary, unless you specifically need a lot of honey for dessert weeks, in which case that'll be great for such weeks at Lapis Lakeside.

Also, is Dragonair just more common than Dratini at Lapis Lakeside or what?
It's actually pretty annoying because I want Dratini for the two evolutions. The carry capacity matters for ingredient specialists.

It debuts 3pm Monday May 6th, meaning most players would expect to start seeing them from Tuesday morning (unless they do a Monday sleep session).

The Fire Type Week event also starts May 6th, so Vulpix isn't debuting before that event.

Future OP posts should really link https://www.pokemonsleep.net/en/news/, it has all the same in-app news updates.

News about the upcoming v1.6.0 update
https://www.pokemonsleep.net/en/news/5699/
There will be scheduled maintenance at the end of the month.

Maintenance Period
Starts:2024/04/30 02:00
Ends:2024/04/30 06:30

■ Preparation for new events
>For details, please see the announcements that will be posted at a later date.

■ Addition of a new item, “Fire-Type Candy”
>Using a Fire-Type Candy on a Fire-type Pokémon—either from your bag’s items pocket or from the Pokémon details screen—will exchange it for that Pokémon’s candies.

Examples using a Fire-Type Candy S:
• Used on Charizard Charmander Candy ×4
• Used on Flareon Eevee Candy ×4
Note: Additions of other types of candy are scheduled for later updates.

■ Addition of a new Relaxing Sound, “Waves”
Game Contents

■ Partial adjustment to helper Pokémon’s Energy recovery from cooking
The following change will be made to the Energy recovery of helper Pokémon who already have 100 or more Energy.
• Energy recovery before change: 0 Energy recovery after change: +1

■ Adjustments to which Pokémon appear in some areas
You’ll be able to encounter the following Pokémon in the listed areas.
Greengrass Isle
• Vaporeon, Flareon, Bayleef, Meganium, Quilava, Typhlosion, Croconaw, Feraligatr, Espeon, Umbreon, Glaceon

Taupe Hollow
• Arcanine, Quilava, Typhlosion, Houndoom

>>55803961
These are all pretty nice changes.
Type Candy S being slightly better than regular Handy Candy S is cool, though it'll mean more burden on your item space. I'm also glad that they clarified what happens with Pokémon that change types upon evolution and share a candy pool.
It means you can use Fire-Type Candy S to power up any Eeveelution, as long as you have a Flareon. The same will apply to future Electric, Water, Psychic, Dark, Grass, Ice, Normal, Fairy type candies.

The energy recovery not excluding Pokémon with 100+ energy is nice because it means no longer having to refrain from interacting with energy restoring helpers before breakfast.

Adding the majority of other Johto starter and Eevee evolutions of Greengrass, as well as fire type evolutions to Taupe Hollow will make it a lot easier to discover sleep styles and earn more candies for those species.

>>55803902
The 1.6 update makes sleep styles available for 4 pokemon that were previously unavailable, and all are in taupe hollow

>>55803981
I hate taupe because I do not have any good mons for the area but I feel I have to sit here to get good ones for entei. Then I always slumbering sleep so i rarely get good fire types. Sucks.

>>55804288
What's the ingredient you're missing?
I'm guessing Slowpoke tails because there's only two dishes that uses them.

Find yourself a EXP+ nature Slowbro on Cyan Beach and be done with it, let Ingredient Magnet S users do the work.

I also recommend you only make Grilled Tail Curry once, it's not the best use of Slowpoke tails and the 25 fiery herb requirement is annoying.
Slowpoke Tail Pepper Salad is one of the best Sunday salads you can make.

File: fire+eevee.png (28 KB, 1262x205)

28 KB PNG

On Taupe, Great 5 is at 145k, and has 113 possible sleep styles available, and you get 15 fire styles, or 19 if you include eevee

On Greengrass, Ultra 4 is 125k (ultra 5 is 156k), but has 196 sleep styles available, and only 12 fire mon styles, 15 if you include eevee

So currently, presuming balanced sleep, you've got roughly 13% chance to get fire type at taupe, and only 6% on greengrass

And those 0 totals are getting filled out, hopefully in taupe's favour as well

>>55804261

I used 1 incense on Monday, and found it naturally on Tuesday and (hungry) this morning on Lapis

>>55804633
Same. Was hoping to see at least one before I pop the incense for a forced encounter.
Beach was a nice break though. I forgot how comfy the music was.
Lapis has the worst bgm, but I'm not looking forward to Taupe either.
Tundra and Beach is the best.

>>55804633
I got one this morning on greengrass it was slumbering type had no master biscuit though and the shops don't reset until 2 more days so I didn't fill it.

Correct.
>Find yourself a EXP+ nature Slowbro on Cyan Beach and be done with it, let Ingredient Magnet S users do the work.
That’s the plan. This week is just too messy though. Haven’t even seen a slowpoke.
> I also recommend you only make Grilled Tail Curry once, it's not the best use of Slowpoke tails and the 25 fiery herb requirement is annoying.
I don’t mind the herbs, I got two good Gengars but yeah, I got other curries I favor.
>Slowpoke Tail Pepper Salad is one of the best Sunday salads you can make.
If my ingredient magnet mons allow it I can do it during the week too thanks to my Glaceon.

>>55804768
You'd use a master ball even knowing legendary events will be happening soon?

Stop shilling your fucking videos.

>>55804885
I'm pretty "tryhard" with this game. I read stuff, I put my mons on the calculator to check who is the best, I check the game like 6+ times a day.
The only thing I won't do is fake sleep, even for nap sessions. I might turn it a bit on before I go to bed if I desperately don't want to miss on the go to bed on time thing, but otherwise I think it's kinda going too far. I do care about the sleep data and my habits after all.

>go to lapis to try and find a good stufful and Dratini as well
>0 Dratini, 1 Dragonair
>0 stufful
>1 non incense comfey spawn

Can't tell you how many of the Bellsprout and Wiggly lines I've seen though

Do I need to use the comfey incense to make it spawn? I'm on master 10 already and I haven't seen a single comfey this week
And I'm on cyan beach which is supposedly the one with the least polluted spawn pool

>>55805727
Same, except I've got Comfrey spawns. No Dratinis and no Stuffuls except for the incenses I've used. So far, every single day has made a random Stage 2 pokemon hungry. I still give them a Poke Biscuit to see if it super crits, but it seems like a waste.

>>55805744
Do you get snoozing or at least balanced sleeps? You're supposed to be able to get at least a few pokemon of any style regardless of your actual sleep, but getting the correct style should boost what most of your spawns are. I did manage to see 2 so far on Lapis without incense via Balanced and Snoozing, but it could also just be the RNG on how the game decides to distribute your Drowsy Power. The game seems to try to spawn stuff on as high end as it can, which ends up hogging a lot of the points towards things like final evolutions and 3-4* styles.

Behold

>>55805727
Dragonair is legit more common for me than Dratini, see >>55803899
Wigglytuff and Victreebel are actually good though, so them being common spawns doesn't hurt.

>>55805744
It's just luck, I was able to get two Comfey spawns without incense at Lapis Lakeside.
It's entirely possible that it's a rare spawn on Cyan Beach but a less rare one on Lapis Lakeside.
It's a Snoozing Pokémon, so you'll still need that sleep style for a good chance of seeing one, as the event bonus for meeting Pokémon outside of your sleep style is only a minor effect.

>>55805876
Forcing yourself to stay up past 4am / wake before 6am on a Monday to try and minmax a sleep app was antithetical to the app's goals anyway.
However, skipping Sunday meals was always a bad idea.
Even if you can't hit the next strength rating, the huge boosts to strength equate to higher drowsy power, which translates to better sleep styles researched and therefore better research EXP and dream shard earnings.

If anything, the strategy for players who struggle to gather ingredients should be to minimise ingredient usage on a few days to maximise them on Sunday.
Also knowing which tricky meals to only make on Sunday (even if you have a big enough cooking pot during the week).

>>55805954
>Forcing yourself to stay up past 4am / wake before 6am on a Monday to try and minmax a sleep app was antithetical to the app's goals anyway.
But I wasn't forcing myself because of the app, I was forcing myself because that's when I have to get up and ready for work.

>no crits all week
fuck me i guess

>>55805876
I just run more ingredient pokemon on Sundays to fill the pot and still have a regular stockpile on Monday. Really doesn't make sense to skip any meal unless you're really struggling with a double-digit stockpile. Especially if you care about your Snorlax Power, those 2 meals can easily outpower the boost from the holdover meal that no longer exists.

>>55805727
My situation is even worse, not a single Comfey and only one Dragonair as well.

>>55804633
I'm at Lapis and haven't seen one beyond my incense Comfey
wanted to catch at least one

>1 apple short of a greengrass salad
Fucking sleepchu, do your fucking job and give me an apple.

barely managed to squeak out at master 3 for the first time for the incense at lapis

still haven't decided where to go next week, i have a decent corn farmer in a dragonair but it's still 9 levels away from unlocking it and i have 2 berry finding quilava (one 2 levels away from evolving, the other unlocks bfs at level 50 but is better late game) and i have a decent growlithe that gives all herbs so i'm not in any worry of needing fire types until vulpix is released

i've only been to snowdrop once and peaked at like ultra 2

>>55808693
That's been my entire Taupe experience. At least I should be getting the right sleep style next week since I apparently didn't manage much Snoozing during the event.

where do we go this week?
is there an event this time?
fire week next week?

>>55809411
Fire week is next week. Personally I'm going to Lapis again, I reached Master (5) there for the first time this past week. But going to Taupe if you don't have much area bonus there might be a good idea.

>>55809411
Gap week, fire event is the next week.
Then there'll probably be another gap week before the two week long Entei event, if they follow suit from the electric type and Raikou events earlier this year.

I'll be sticking to Taupe Hollow for the foreseeable future to get my area bonus up, and try for even better BFS Typhlosion, Charizard, Vulpix.
It's yet to be seen if the Entei event can be conducted on Taupe Hollow or if it'll be exclusive to Greengrass Isle, but going to Taupe is a good idea regardless.

I got Desserts on Taupe Hollow this week so that won't be easy, but the flip side is I'll be less likely to get that next week.

Thinking further into the future, going to Cyan Beach to try for good Blastoise and Feraligatr in anticipation of the Suicune event is also a good idea, so I'll probably be going there after the Entei event.
It'll mean no Lapis Lakeside for a long while though, and I haven't even been to Snowdrop Tundra once yet.

>>55809411
Lapis because I finally unlocked it. Taupe next week, hoping I get Salads for it.

for suicune farm, lapis isn't too bad for finding water mons, but not good for you with regards to getting nice snorlax power while levelling ones you have

>>55809923
Most anything with just BFS is better than most things without it, including "optimal" non-BFS spreads.

Incidentally, a BFS ingredient specialist outperforms a non-BFS berry specialist, because of the added ingredient haul whilst matching the potential berry haul.

>>55809927
Basically yeah, I want to use my water team whilst on Cyan beach, so that they'll actually grow.
I still need a good BFS Feraligatr, have yet to find one.
I don't have any flying Pokémon I actually use, and my best fairies are both Wigglytuff.

>>55804885
Shitty ass video with a faggot who can't get to the fucking point.

>>55809923
For slumbering just set your phone on a table or something instead of your mattress, it won't move and you'll get the slumbering type. But for some retarded reason it will always cuts your session at about 6 hours in.

I think blocking the microphone access for apps in android 15 makes the game detect some kind of cheating
since tracking with your phone also uses the mic, even if you set it on a table and don't move it so that it tracks it as slumbering, the sounds from your mic make it so that you are snoozing or dozing, not sure about that
this might work differently if you're tracking with the Go++, since it does not have a mic at all

>>55810156
Pretty sure they said they don't use sound for tracking.

>>55809923
I can level and evolve it for just over the amount of candy needed for diamonds this week. Do I go for it or keep it unevolved for cyan?

>>55810168
for the phone, it does
if you disable mic access system-wide, as soon as you enter sleep it will ask you to reenable
also, how does the game record you? if you track with your phone, check your sleep record for last night, there should be a couple of sound recordings you can hear, these get deleted every night
I'm not sure if you can listen to the previous recordings if you have premium, only the sleep data, I don't have premium to confirm this

I didn't see a single Comfey at Cyan Beach and I made Ultra 5 or whatever the so call requirement was by the 2nd day. Going to spend all this time hunting for fire types or good pokes for Tuape. Wait until candy boost and level them. Problem is I can't reach masters 2 for new incense at TH.

I have enough sleep points for a master biscuit and I'm thinking of saving incenses until Entei event for more manes.

>I haven't even been to Snowdrop Tundra once yet

Same

>>55810233
By any chance are you also powering up a Pupitar into a Tyranitar before going to Snowdrop for the first time?

I'm gonna mini candy boost that Pupitar next week to maximise the limited handy candy I have. I might finally have enough for the level requirement and actually evolving it.

To be fair, there has been very little reason to go to Snowdrop. Unless you're specifically looking for Delibird, Slakoth, Snover, or Mareep, there isn't much there. Despite Ampharos being a top tier performer, the others are pretty nice. Not to mention the favored berries being a bit rough there too. Expect to see Alolan Vulpix there sometime in the future though.

>>55810630
Delivers and Snover are worth the hassle. Consistent eggs are a bless. My only consistent source is a godly Togekiss.

Can the Taupe enjoyers do me a favor and post diglett/dugtrio research this week if they find any? Leeks are my last ingredient to find and my dugtrio is exp nature down and I only have 45 diglett candies

>>55811065
Sure thing boss.

>>55811065
No.
You will get Sableye, and you will like it.

>>55811065
Lapischad here

>>55810630
As someone approaching the limits of the sleep styles they can find in many islands, Snowdrop is a good place to go just for those. I'm currently at 327/510 sleep styles, and based on the current unlocks 340 or 350 is likely to be the next goal.
>7 -> 12 -> 20 -> 35 -> 70 -> 110 -> 150 -> 190 ->240 -> 290
I won't be heading there until my Pupitar changes from a Taupe Hollow specialist to a Snowdrop Tundra specialist anyway.

>>55810139
Just do that an hour or so before the bedtime then move your phone onto the bed when you're actually going to sleep. You get an hour or so of slumbering and the movement is considered sleeping. Slumbering is weighted far more heavily than the other styles so just that hour or two of dead time pretty much guarantees slumbering, especially if you've been playing a while before doing that trick.

Is this worth leveling up for leeks?
Seems pretty decent at least

>>55811551
>3 inventory up slots
I guess it'll do in a pinch for leeks, but long term investment seems like a bad idea

>>55811551
I would do the minimum to unlock leeks if you don't have them yet.
Dugtrio's helping speed is pretty poor so it needs all the helping speed boosts it can get, really.

Leeks are annoying in that only two families unlock it at 30, both of which have poor helping speed. Ditto's actually pretty bad in spite of potentially gathering Slowpoke tails at level 60.

But then there's a ton of families that can unlock leeks at 60:
>Bellsprout
>Chikorita
>Mr. Mime
>Houndour
>Raikou
>Ralts

It has Berry Finding S, that's why.
Helping Bonus is also a boon but it won't enjoy that until very late on.

Realistically it having BFS will contribute far more strength than just making a helper gather 5 lots of something immediately.

Here's analysis of a level 30 Arcanine on a team by itself, as to not have other team mates be the variable by having it boost itself.
Left is your BFS Arcanine.
Middle is max skill trigger rate.
Right is Helping Speed M at 25 instead of Skill Trigger S.

BFS is so crazy good that it beats a lot of good subskill + nature spreads that lack BFS.
Even a BFS users with a helping speed hindering nature tend to be better than most things lacking BFS.

>>55812585
Depends how close you are to a level 10 friendship with Growlithes (i.e. you've caught at least 10). Berry Finding S is good, but that's the only thing yours has going for it. Might as well just wait until the end of Fire week to truly commit to anything that you feel might not be worth it.

>>55812622
No effect that's been reported or dug up, it's purely a visual bonus.

>>55812654
Thank you so much for the thorough analysis! Had no idea berry finding s was that good.
>>55812709
Ill definitely be waiting until the event to level anything up so maybe I'll get something better but i might just go for it.

I like the 2nd and 3rd one. I would decide based on ingredients

Forgot there was maintenance today.

>>55813002
The first Wartortle is pretty mediocre.

The second Wartortle is rather good, but its ingredient gathering won't be very consistent until it gets to level 50. It also may eventually run into inventory issues, but that's a long ways away.

Your Blastoise is OK and gets better at 50, but still won't compare with the second Wartortle, because as you can see, it's already faster than the Blastoise.

>>55813139

>Forgot there was maintenance today.
Fuck maintenance. How are they not alerting us of this more often, or even on the main screen. I was getting some extra ingredients for a Flan so I have the absolutely wrong team out while my main team is going to have basically no energy tomorrow.

It's back up now

How do you change the alarm sound? I can't find it in settings anywhere, but I switched it from the default ping to pikachu at some point.

It seems like they finally fixed the rest of the shiny pokemon being unlocked for your profile picture.

>>55813841
Pretty sure that shows up when you're actually tracking sleep. You can change the sleep song and alarm there, I think.

>>55813984
Oh yeah, you're right. Sucks they haven't added more alarms yet.

>>55813341
is it possible (probably too late now) to not start a sleep session during the maint if the timings align, and then swap your team and manually log a session to get the restoration on the team you want? also 2 biscuits :d

I woke up in the morning before the maintenance finished. The maintenance is over, I have tried to add my sleep from the previous night, but i've got "no valid sleep was found" message. Thanks... Now my pokemon are tired, got no sleep and new pokemon :/

What'll set it apart will be ingredients.
So long as it's not the frustratingly common ginger, bean sausages, fiery herbs, etc.

I'm hoping it can gather something like apples, tomatoes, oil, though newer Pokémon are prone to gathering corn and leeks too.
These are a few things that would make dessert weeks at Taupe Hollow more viable. Apples and ginger are great for Neroli's Restorative Tea, as long as you can get a source of mushrooms somewhere.

>>55814152
i'd guess corn and milk

i'm more interested in trigger rate, if it's like comfey's pretty abysmal ~2.2% it's gonna be a bit shit

but if it's like 5-6% and you get a decent one, with the increased skill proc rate during entei weeks you could maybe drop your e4e for two weeks

>>55814195
Quite possibly yeah, EC was changed to favour the Pokémon with the least energy.
That said, Vulpix is a berry specialist, not a skill specialist. The gains of having a full fire team with Ninetales, versus one with an E4E user, might be better for an Entei team depending.

Comfey is an ingredient specialist, so it's not surprising that it's not amazing at using it's main skill.

>>55814944
It has exp up if you don't already have leeks unlocked.

>>55814817
If you want energy from its skill, the left is much better, but you would need to give it Subskill Seeds to power it up. If you don't care about energy, then just getting the extra berry from the right is better (although Wigglytuff isn't all that great a gatherer even with the added berry).

>>55815435
Energy Recovery Bonus does not boost energy gained from skills or items. Only sleep.

That's why it's such a shit skill, sleep energy caps at 100, skill / item energy caps at 150.

Think I should switch over to the igglybuff or stick with the wigglytuff

>>55815855
There should be some kind of additional bonus you're able to get from it though, considering you always get the bonuses from the other gold skills. Technically they did buff it to allow Energy down natured pokemon to make a full sleep recovery, but you don't get anything out of it unless you're double tracking or not fulfilling your 8.5hrs. If anything, it's almost a punishment if you do track your allotment for the day.

>>55816170
Considering you already spent a seed on your Wigglytuff, the Igglybuff isn't much better to entice you to switch.

>>55816196
What Energy Recovery Bonus needs is to allow you to exceed the sleep recovery cap of 100%.
Say like, 10% for each Pokémon with the bonus. That's up to 100 extra minutes of maintaining peak performance or delaying bottoming out.

Otherwise, the bonus is something of a nothing-burger when you're playing the game properly and getting a good night's sleep.
The E4E supporter strategy is so popular that it makes ERB bad.

As a reminder of what energy does:
>80%+ - 2.2x helping speed
>60-79% - 1.9x helping speed
>40-59% - 1.6x helping speed
>20-39% - 1.4x helping speed
>0-19% - 1x helping speed

They even adjusted the curve slightly so that the drop from 40% isn't as harsh.

deciding to take this week to sandbag and stock up on ingredients for next week and the eventual entei event, wanting to stay at lower drowsy power to have a better chance of seeing lower forms of the lapis exclusives

Whole lot of nothing. I'd be a little hard pressed to want to train up another Lucario even if this one was good though. Mine already has its skill at level 5 from Level Up subskills and spending main skill seeds on a Dream Shard farmer is definitely a luxury expense.

>>55816674
Yeah, that's admittedly got nothing going for it, but also nothing against it.
Inventory Up L is technically beneficial, helping to ensure a skill proc is ready on wake-up, but it's never been a species prone to hitting carry capacity quickly.

It's better than my shiny Riolu anyway, that one tragically has a Rash nature (Ingredients Up skill Down)

I have a lv10 bulbasaur with Skill Trigger M, Ingredients FinderS and Berry Finding S. Is good?

>>55817379
Is that the order the skills are in? What is its nature? What are the other skills? What ingredients does it have access to?

Skill Trigger M is generally OK on Bulbasaur, though not super impactful.
Ingredient Finder S is OK, but M is very much preferred.
Anything with access to Berry Finding S is basically above average by default, but some specific species might actually not want to fill up their inventory with berries.
Based just off of the information you've provided, it's probably decent enough to use.

>>55817468
Thanks anon.
The skills are in that order. Nature has no effect. Ingredients are honey tomato tomato. I buy premium pass but not diamonds.
I guess I’ll stick to it until I have a different berry finding S mon

>>55817537
I have a berry finder saur and he keeps me filled on honey. The tomatoes are far better imo. I still don't have a good tomato mon.

which will give more snorlax rating. ingredient specialist with preferred berry or bfs berry specialist with non preferred berry. same speed

>>55817693
Depends on their levels since that affects berry strength. Also how much you benefit from the ingredients dropped since meals are a good source of strength too.

Top right seems fine for Flareon. Lots of milk and Berry Finding S is pretty much all it needs. Extra helping speed would just be a bonus.

For the Vaporeon, I think you really need a build similar to a Sylveon. Vaporeon isn't that fast, so going for berries is less good. It is the best theoretical user of Ingredient Magnet, but that's a lot of investment for something that's honestly better as a bonus rather than a focus.

Onix doesn't actually exist they lied about adding it to the game.

I'm the same, I'm not chasing as many gaps in my roster now, so the need for biscuits is lesser plus how generous they've been with them in daily gifts, events, etc helps a lot.

Funnily enough, stronger teams getting higher drowsy power and better sleep styles, might be making it harder to find the Pokémon I want to befriend.

Where are you spending your fire thpe week?

>>55821241
Taupe Hollow, it makes the most sense to go there if you want fire types, plus they just made a bunch of new sleep styles discoverable there.

The Entei event, it's yet to be seen if it can be conducted at Taupe Hollow or only Greengrass.
It's assumed that all future events will always be available at Greengrass in order to prevent excluding new players.

>>55821289
yeah, they'll just exclude new players by making the event pokemon sleep styles obtainable at master 9+ complete with 30 hunger pips instead
I wonder how many new players got even the default raikou

>>55821399
Should have been able to get at least 1. Maybe even 2 and a half.

>>55821399
I started playing on the electric week and got 3 raikou, I still have one raikou incense left. If you're not retarded you can nab the default one with the hunger incense+raikou incense on night 1 (less mons so it's more likely the hungry one is raikou) and raikou biscuits. Or just do the incense + masterball combo.

>>55821435
I use 3 hungry incense with a good camp ticket and never got any hungry raikou. Not one single crit or mega hit either. Have 3 raikou, with one leftover incense but I can't waste my master ball on it because saving for entei then I'll be saving for suicune.

>>55821499
> good camp ticket
Doesn't that gives you an extra spawn reducing your chances of a hungry raikou?

>>55821506
Here's the two scenarios for the Raikou event:
>1 - Event gives 1 guaranteed hungry + hungry incense + Raikou Incense
>2 - Same but with Good Camp Ticket

Scenario 1 has 9 spawns with guaranteed 2 hungry, 22.22% chance for any spawn to get the guaranteed hunger.
Scenario 2 has 10 spawns with 3 guaranteed hungry, 30% chance for any spawn to get the guaranteed hunger.

So, no it turns out the good camp ticket does improve your odds overall.

I seem to recall getting four hungry Pokémon one morning under these conditions, so you can still get additional hungry encounters on top of the guaranteed ones.
I never once got a hungry Raikou though, but I did get a Big Hit with a Raikou biscuit.

Big Hit is the in-game term for 3x friendship points, whilst Mega Hit is the in-game term for instant friendship.

>>55821573
>An extra Pokémon will appear for your sleep research - and it will be hungry!

The phrasing makes it sound like the added encounter will always be the hungry appearance, but I'm not sure.
The sleep results screen does show you which Pokémon are the bonus encounter, as the drowsy power calculation screen only shows the 8 Pokémon, not the extras from item usage.

>>55820450
12.5% chance anon.
:)

Based on my own Sleep Data, seems like it might be around 40m-50m Drowsy Power depending how rare your spawns get. It only saves 30 days of data, and a bunch of events took place in the previous month, so it's a little hard to compare the weeks. Since there aren't many 3* styles on Greengrass though, it might be easier to get 8 spawns there versus the specific islands.

Question: Can incense spawns get the "Atop Belly" 4 star sleep style?

I got a Cyndaquil incense, and the Atop Belly sleep style is the last one I need for that species.

There are 4 star sleep styles that aren't Atop Belly, but they're exclusively Ditto transformations like that goofy Dragonite Sleep style. That's the only way you can get more than one 4 star sleep style per night.

The impression I got was the the Atop Belly sleep style was limited to the up to 8 non-item spawns.

>>55822948
Fire types. I don't think there is a single non dozing fire type on taupe hollow. Or if there is I haven't found one.

>>55824692
dozing? >>55814084

>>55824692
Every single fire type is snoozing.
Incidentally, every single grass type is dozing, whilst a majority of water types are slumbering.
Slowpoke family and Psyduck break that slumbering rule, being snoozing and dozing respectively. Golduck is still slumbering.

Oh well.

>>55824665
Yes, incenses can get the "Atop Belly" spot, but it's usually rare since incense spawns are considered "extra" and generated after everything else. So most likely one of your normal spawns will be on top unless every one of them misses. The game seems to prefer giving you as high a rarity as possible versus spreading it out to 2* and 3*'s, making it pretty unlikely.

T-thanks...

>>55825557
Cheers for the explanation.

Yeah that adds up with how the Drowsy Power gets divided up among your 4-8 spawns, it would have to be distributed in a way that no particular Pokémon rolls a very high cut, allowing the incense or ticket spawn to get the Atop Belly sleep style.

>>55825975
Ironically still better than a lot of things that lack BFS.
It gets out performed by something that has a Helping Speed boosting Nature and Helping Speed M, but that's an unlikely roll.

As ever, hold onto it just in case nature mints are ever a thing.

Ingredient Magnet (Charmander)
Energizing Cheer (Vulpix)
Extra Helpful (Growlithe)
Cooking Power-Up (Flareon)
Charge Strength (Cyndaquil)

It's a lot more balanced than the Electric event and Flareon + Charizard are going to work really well together. Actual ingredient types gathered seem pretty narrow, but obviously not as much as Electric types.

>>55828664
Berry Finding S, and being able to gather milk at level 30 is all I suggest. Other things like Skill Level Up M, Skill Trigger, and Helping Speed M are just good bonuses.

>>55828776
An early (level 10 or 25) Skill Trigger M is required for all skill-type pokemon that want to use their main skill. Main Skill up nature is definitely preferred, though Help Speed up can also work, and definitely no Main Skill down. For other skills, probably Helping Speed M or Skill Level Up M. Skill Trigger S is also fine. Helping Bonus too, but I'd prefer my skill pokemon to be as selfish as possible for maximum skill gains.

>>55828058
>Also to reserve my Cyndaquil incense I had from a previous week until the Entei event actually starts

You know what that's actually a really good idea.
I'm gonna hold onto my Cyndaquil incense now. Same for the Vulpix incense I get next week.
Thankfully these species are known to be eligible for Greengrass, where the Entei event is locked to.
The news update noted that Entei can spawn at Taupe Hollow, but the event itself is still set at Greengrass only.

>>55828776
They key thing for any good Wigglytuff is a beneficial nature, Careful and Sassy are the best two.
Past that, you need at least Skill Trigger S or M on it, with S being upgradeable to M or both unlockable before 25 or 50.
If you only have Skill Trigger M alone, that's still great, but works even better with Helping Speed boosts with Helping Bonus being the most welcome in its support capacity.

Inventory Up skills whilst they aren't exciting, are technically beneficial to skill specialists as it increases the chances of having a skill trigger ready when you wake up.
Skill Level Up subskills are nice for saving on main skill seed investment, and important for free to play players.
Otherwise, they can technically be detrimental because you lose subskill slots to something that can be accomplished with items; slots that could've gone to boosting helping speed or skill trigger rate, or other perks like sleep EXP bonus.

>>55828878
>there's A guy here with a perfect one.

>>55830660
You literally can't encounter fire types if you get Dozing or Slumbering sleep.
They're exclusive to Snoozing, including the upcoming Vulpix and Ninetales.

To be honest, Taupe Hollow actually has some of the worst encounters, an annoying excess of Gulpins, Ekans, and Rattata.
It really makes you appreciate the Lapis Lakeside spawns much more.

Unrelated trivia, the only Pokémon that currently appear on all five maps are Clefairy, Clefable, Jigglypuff, Ditto, Eevee, and Cleffa.

What happened with the Wigglytuff there, is I went all in with investment into a very good Wiggly, but I woke up to a godly shiny Iggly a few days before Christmas.
Raising Energy for Everyone to lv. 6 makes RP skyrocket.

The two Raichu both has BFS, the lower level one has a better nature and better potential as it unlocks subskills too, but the level 53 one is a fixture that overcompensates for not gathering favourite berries, by gathering craploads of them very quickly.

Meganium, Typhlosion, Victreebel, Pupitar are BFS so they do great on their respective islands.
I'm dumping candies into the Pupitar next week with candy boost and a fresh batch of handy candy, so it can finally evolve into Tyranitar for Snowdrop Tundra.

The Gengar is also pretty phenomenal with Ingredient Finder M, Helping Speed M, Mushrooms, and a BFS unlock at 50.
The Bewear is also great, all corn, BFS at 50 too.

Charizard is my sausage farmer, maximum ingredient finder but Modest nature hinders its helping speed.
Blastoise is a milk+cacao farmer, not really optimal spread though. These two would be nice to get good BFS upgrades.
I actually have a BFS shiny Squirtle, but it has two Inventory Up skills at 25 and 50 and a Sassy nature so it might not be worth the trouble versus the BFS Totodile I'm still looking for.

The Flareon is okay, I swap it in if I'm gathering too many ingredients (which keeps happening on Taupe Hollow). It also has Sleep EXP bonus which is nice.

>>55831655
List is nice but not as nice to see the stats and skills.

>>55831662
Yeah I'll put together a collage of stats screens quick. The shiny Wiggly and the Gengar are two peak rolls.
A lot of them are "good but obviously not optimal", but BFS is so good in this game that it makes things super viable.

Here's the collage, excluded the Espeon because I rarely actually use it.
I just wanted to have an Espeon and went with a Skill Level Up Eevee I had, but it would really need skill trigger boosts which it just lacks.

My Lapis Lakeside team is amazing, the Meganium, Victreebel, and Bewear do an excellent job and that Bewear will just be incredible when she hits 50.

Which one should I invest in and which should I send to the candy farm?

>>55831773
What the fuck is this cropping

Whatever, the middle Gastly is best, it has those all important Mushrooms on level 30 (it's the best mushroom gatherer).
If you can weather the EXP gains down nature, you'll have a really good herbs and mushrooms gatherer at level 30 with the option to give it a single subskill seed investment, for a nice helping speed boost.

>>55831794
What about nature and subskill wise?

You think I can power level this guy to 50 before the event? Only have about 250 candies

>>55831833
No way. Even with the candy boost, you'd only get to around level 30 if it were a regular pokemon. Yours also has EXP down, so you wouldn't even get that far.

>>55831820
The Bashful one would need two subskill seeds to get any good boosts, and doesn't have much of interest beyond 25.

The Brave one has Ingredient Finder M plus a beneficial nature, and a Helping Speed S that can be upgraded to M.

The Mild one less the least Ingredient finding potential despite that Ingredient Finding boosting nature, because of the total lack of subskills, and only the one Helping Speed M boost (level 100 is basically not worth considering).

You should learn to use Raenonx's analysis tools.
https://pks.raenonx.cc/en/rating
This one will default to assessing your Gastly's ability to contribute strength though ingredients.
Your Brave one is top tier after level 30, before giving it a subskill seed.
If you upgrade it to Helping Speed M, it's in the top 5% of all Gengar.

So yeah your Brave one is actually really, really good, you just have to give it one subskill seed, and tolerate the slow levelling up.

>>55831833
wait to candy bonus

>>55831833
Not a chance, especially not with that Exp Gains hindering nature.
With the Mini Candy Boost, using 250 candies across 5 days will only raise it to about level 28, needing 70k dream shards.
You also need 80 candy plus a fire stone to evolve it up into Arcanine.

If we're to exclude Mini Candy Boost entirely, your Growlithe needs about 1385 candy and 213k dream shards to reach level 50.
Were it not for that nature, it would've been about 1164 candy and 179k dream shards instead.

All of my best rolls have EXP Down

>>55831833
Even when I was focusing on getting my Altaria to 50, it still took a solid 3 months of regular use with 1-2 Sleep EXP Pokemon on top of giving it every piece of Hard Candy I got during that period. And I'm pretty sure I must have boosted its early levels during a candy boost event as well.

Honestly wouldn't use any if I could help it. Berry Finding is a real deal breaker for me because you have to use a stone to evolve it, and its skill isn't super great just on its own.

The ingredient spread and BFS at 50 on a pseudo makes me hesitate. But it does have BFS and HB...

>>55832918
The amount of EXP it takes for a normal Pokemon to get to level 50 is almost exactly the amount it takes for a pseudo just to evolve into its final form. And then since leveling up to 40 is about 2/3 of the process, the last 10 levels from 40-50 are the remaining 1/3rd.

Luckily you don't really have to worry about getting any Ingredient Finder skills if you have Berry Finding, but you probably want Inventory Up in any case. Especially for Tyranitar since it gathers such high quantities of lower value ingredients.

So what are we expecting for the first anniversary? Increased chance for shinies? A new starter line? A legendary that isn't one of the Beast Trio?

I'm about to tuck in so I set my phone down arleady, but I have a neutral nature leaf corn (30) leaf (60), ingredient finder s (10), inv. up s (25), and BFS (50), and 2 other gray skills at 75 and 100 I forget, and enough candies to evolve it to dragonair. should I invest in it?

>>55833183
I'm expecting either a mythic or a chance to get Snorlax itself.

>>55833183
>>55833286
I'd say absolutely zero chance of getting Snorlax as a recruitable pokemon. The whole thing is about you feeding a Snorlax that gets bigger, so don't see the point in you being able to get a smaller one just so that you can get a Snorlax Atop Belly Snorlax.

Might be a little soon for another new area, but they'll definitely have some sort of an event with general bonuses. Increased shiny chance, hungry pokemon, probably a special costume Pikachu too, if not some other species that Select Button really likes. Seeing as they just released the dogs for Pokemon Day, they do have a pretty good split between then and their anniversary (~6 months), but as Suicune's event is probably going to end pretty close to the anniversary, it seems a little hasty to drop another Legendary or Mythical right then.

Which of these 2 would you invest in? (Sorry for bad crop on mobile. The top one is a Dratini with herbs corn and oil)

>>55833640
The Dratini.

>>55833640
help bonus is by far and away second best subskill, and makes the dratini better by far

the xp down just makes it suck to level

Is this guy any good?

>>55833719
double skill subskills is good, not a bad nature, bfs good. energy bonus isn't bad if you're not a guaranteed 8.5 hour sleeper, or to counteract a nature or two

it's the order of the subskills that's the problem, it's going to spend a lot of time being average if you do decide to use it

Fell asleep before turning on app. Woke up after 4am. Turn on app. Phone dies a couple hours later. If I try to enter sleep manually it will count as my second sleep of the day. What should I have done and what can I do now?

I'm so close to reaching the level 55 club /zzz/. I watched the level cap earlier but I only got to enjoy the increased shards for three days. I hope the devs don't raise the cap until June at least.

You should have just manually entered the full length of when you actually slept (starting before 4am) in the morning. Now I would just cut your losses and make sure to start tracking sleep on time and with some battery tonight.

>>55802708
What should I do with this?

>>55837377
I don't think it's a particularly great fit for an energy battery.

You can try to dismiss an energy down nature by saying it'll just provide its own energy, but cutting that much time off of peak energy triggers can cause a cascade failure through the day. Not only that, but Berry Finding actually works against it getting an activation overnight. The overnight trigger is actually pretty significant to help tide an E4E Pokemon over until another trigger. And that sort of ends up being the point of an E4E Pokemon - to just keep delaying the decay of helping speed as much and as often as possible.

Unfortunately Wigglytuff isn't that fast either, so if you were going to sort of ignore the skill, it's not that great as a substitute berry farmer either.

I don't know why some anons here praise raenon's tools
they somehow mark a useless mon with rating 95 and shit
skill mons with just skill trigger M and nothing else going for it, somehow a 90+ rating
like what
plus the subscription stuff, jeez

>>55837598
I don't use the rating tool, but a skill mon with only trigger m and nothing else, but no real negatives IS literally better than 90% of other versions of that pokemon

I imagine there's just so much shit that even barely good pokemon can get a high rating

>>55837781
>skill mon
>loaded with ingredient up and berry finder

>>55837791
This is good. Especially BF. Could use more inventory though. And it depends on the skill itself.

I honestly thought Digletts were Slumbering. It seems to be the odd one out since Geodude, Onix, and even Cubone are all Slumbering and Pokemon generally seemed to be organized by Type and Sleep Type. There seem to be a couple other lines that aren't constrained by type, but I assume some split off mostly for game balance reasons.

I got an all-corn comfey :)

Vulpix kinda just seems like an improvement over Cyndaquil for the most part?

x2 Berries, x2 Corn at lv30, and Energizing Cheer isn't that bad a skill anymore, especially if you run multiple Vulpix's/Ninetails

Still aiming for as many BFS Cyndaquils as I can before the event, but damn Vulpix is definitely making a name for itself on first impressions

>>55842194
Cyndaquil is still going to output more power since its skill activates relatively frequently. And Cyndaquil's ingredient power is still comparable though not as sought out as the new Corn ingredient is. Ninetales' skill activation rate also isn't so hot, making it incredibly unreliable for actual energy recovery. It's still probably good, but I doubt it's, enough to run over a Cyndaquil if you had to make a choice.

>>55842493
Is the like, 400-1500 from Typhlosion every so often really that worth it?

I mainly figure if you were to have a team of like, 5 Ninetails, they could potentially keep the team going a bit longer and therefore output better than 5 Typhlosions

Obvs those kinds of teams aren't the best to have altogether, but still.

>>55842596
The Johto starters usually go off at least 2-3 times a day on top of their regular gathering power, so that adds up. Plus it's affected by area bonus, causing it to produce more than its base values. It's that versus a level 2 Energizing Cheer that you'll only hit MAYBE once per day.

>>55842678
Fair, I guess if it's insanely infrequent then yeah probs ultimately not as worth

You'd have to have like, Speed of Help Nature + BFS Lv10, Skill Trigger M lv25 as a bare minimum or something
