Anniversary Edition!

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 at 50 friends.

FAQ:
>How do Shinies work?
If you encounter a shiny Pokémon, you only need to feed it a single Poké Biscuit 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 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 as long as possible.

Crit with Ultra Cookies on a 16 pib mon requires another cookie lol
>>
>>56169303
Better than requiring Premium + Great + Poke Biscuits, with a chance for it to get full before you give it the final tick. Though honestly I don't see myself using them at all, especially since most single-stagers are very niche and generally more trouble than they're worth.
>>
>>56169303
400 diamonds is a whale purchase, surely. Ultra is not even that much better than a non premium daily biscuit, it's not like you're going to use it on a pokemon that's not hungry. Imagine just raw using 3 of them and a poke biscuit on a cramorant. And two normal daily biscuits fed to hungry gets to 18. Is anyone really that desperate for a a single stage mon?

This is like legendary hungry only shit, but you get the special biscuits for those

Can someone explain to me what is up with Berry Finding S? Are the other golden subskills shit?
>>
>>56169731
It either doubles the amount of berries a pokemon gathers, or is a 50% improvement. It's just the best subskill by far

Helping Bonus is also great, and a 100% theoretically perfect mon would have both

The other gold ones are in a category of like, "nice to have on a team, not inherently bad, but chances are high you'd rather have something that aligns with what that pokemon's purpose is rather than just a general boost"

Here's the new Paldea starter ingredients:
>Sprigatito Family
Potatoes 2x
Potatoes 5x / Milk 6x
Potatoes 7x / Milk 9x / Ginger 8x
>Fuecoco Family
Apples 2x
Apples 5x / Sausages 4x
Apples 7x / Sausages 6x / Herbs 5x
>Quaxly Family
Beans 2x
Beans 5x / Leeks 2x
Beans 7x / Leeks 4x / Oil 6x

Meowscarada is the first Pokémon with Potatoes on first slot and becomes the best potato farmer by far. It's also a really good alternative to Blastoise as a milk farmer at 60.
Skeledirge will be a much more accessible option for farming apples, and is the best option at level 30 and 2nd best at 60 behind Pinsir. It doesn't excel as a sausage farmer though as compared to Charizard, or even Bewear.
Quaquaval is a good option for gathering Leeks and will probably be preferable to Ditto and Dugtrio due to a better helping speed. It doesn't beat Golem as a dedicated beans farmer, and also drops to third behind Tyranitar at level 60.
>>
>>56169769
Quaxly family can replace a golem and a dugtrio for Ninja Salad though, the best salad currently for the max 57 potsize.
>>
>>56169810
Yeah, it'll probably be a key helper for Ninja Salad.
Much like how Victreebel with Tomatoes and Potatoes is a key helper for Greengrass Salads.

>>56170095
Obviously it depends on your pokemon and resources but I think that if you don't have a great team for the random berries this week, you should pick like 1 or 2 good mons with the right berries to candy up and otherwise use your strongest

It's probably worth having a variety of pokemon level 30+ so no matter when we're forced to greengrass and what the random berries are you have a team capable of easily hitting master ranks and 8 pokemon spawns early in the week

It also depends on how long you've been playing, no way you're going to easily candy up something to 30 if you're relatively new, in which case it's just a matter of stop trying to catch up to people who could have like 6 months or more of sleep exp on you

>>56170763
The ideal Raikou team has Raichu, Ampharos, Jolteon, and Dedenne. They're the only fully evolved electric types in the game so far, and all need BFS for Helper Boost to work best.

The 1.5x main skill trigger rate should help make it work better than usual, although in a cursory analysis I did the other week it looked like a team of four BFS Raichu with an E4E maxed Wiggly would actually perform better.
That may change when more electric types are introduced.
>>
>>56170483
Damn, anon, you sleep an average of nine and a half hours? Pretty impressive. Mine is only 7 and a half.
>>
For those who use the Raenonx site, the guy is giving out free premium access for 72h, just add /account/auto-grant at the end of the URL for the site.
I recommend doing this as the site has qute a few features that are premium only but are really useful. For example, I used the auto team maker to determine which team I should use this week. Turns out that thanks to me rolling Leppas, I will be able to use my Entei this week.
It also has an option to toggle all the mons in your box to their level 50 evolved forms, which really helps determining which mons are the best for long-term investment.
I wouldn't pay for any of these features, but I'll gladly use them for free, and thanks to it, I already know which mons I'll use in the future, so even more reason to not pay.
>>
>>56171093
Ah, quick tip, if you're using the site to check mon strenght for the future, be sure to remove the 1.5x skill trigger rate from the settings (cog icon on the top right), otherwise it will overvalue skill mons.

That's right, I usually average around 9 to 10 hours. The weekend depends on my mood usually longer Even before Pokémon Sleep I averaged around 10 hours a day, but most of the time I end up lazing in bed for a few hours.
only exception is when I need to work in the office, usually I work from home

From what I recall, setting to optimistic basically assumes the skill triggers at the start of the day (meaning your mon stays at a consistently higher energy rate) and conservative assumes the triggers are spread out during the day.

>>56171967
From what I understand, the site used to assume you simply always collected the productions immediately as they triggered. This led to the problems you cited, as skill mons (especially something like Golduck) are directly impacted by how often you collect.
The site is constantly being updated to better reflect those things. iirc you can now set your collection frequency, which will impact directly on the inventory of mons and skill procs.
>>

>Current values for lv6 skills (& conservative estimate @ lv7)
Ingredient Magnet S: 21 Ingredients (> 25)
Extra Helpful S: 10 Helps (> 11)

Increases in main skill levels mostly seem to provide a stable % increase on each subsequent upgrade, so I'm not expecting anything too crazy. Extra Helpful continues to be underwhelming linear with its skill level increases.

In awe of your highest power.
Missed a few days if sleep here and there. Also very often had the app crash on me or failed to charge phone and it died then had to enter sleep time in manually which doesn't track. If I evolved some mons I'd be over 100 befriended easily but some lines like cubone, magnemite or diglett refuse to give me good ones to evolve.
>>
Hit 300 days. I’ve missed a few logs here and there when traveling or work got too busy, but I think this is the longest I’ve kept with a new habit in years. I’m not sure my sleep quality is much better than when I started. I would say I’m more mindful about getting enough hours and going to bed/waking up consistently though.

I finally hit research rank 55 last week and got my first level 55 mon last month so I’m a little bummed the caps increasing so soon, but excited to get at level 60 ingredients.

>>
>>56173772
Charge Energy is fine if it actually activates enough to let the pokemon go to sleep with 150% energy. Though admittedly that ends up being much better on berry types, since they'll take advantage of sneaky snacking better. The real issue is that they really gave Fuecoco APPLES as a base ingredient. Unless the final form has an insane base ingredient gathering rate, it will end up being one of the worst ingredient gatherers in terms of sheer power-per-help.

Really pretty strange that Fuecoco really doesn't have anything unique going for it. Sprigatito starts with potatoes and is one of the few other pokemon capable of gathering milk. Quaxly is one of the few pokemon capable of gathering leeks (even though its final form will end up slightly redundant on Lapis). But then Fuecoco has all of the most common ingredients and it doesn't even gather them in very competitive quantities.

First Fuecoco already seems pretty good
Or is it trash because no BFS?
>>
>>56173901
Fuecoco is the first ingredient specialist for apples, and some of the apple gatherers are more mid-late stuff like Ralts or Absol, so it's mostly an inaccessible ingredient if not for Fuecoco
Apples are also used pretty often on some lower recipes, not all of the game is dishes for your 55 cooking pot, there's always some new people starting out

Is this Sprig I got from incense good enough to fall back on if I don't get a better one this week? I never saw Cramorant or Comfey off incense so I'm not expecting good things this time.

For an ingredient gatherer he looks like he'd benefit especially from Skill Trigger given that main skill. And I'm guessing no ingredients is a shame. But this guy has good helping speed and no other detractors + catmilk

Give it a subskill seed at 25 and that thing is going to be shitting out apples at level 30.

>>
>>56174428
Greengrass can only spawn 1/2/4 star sleep styles for the Paldean starters right now.

You're going to have to go to Cyan Beach, Taupe Hollow, or Lapis Lakeside to find their 3 star sleep styles, so I'm saving my incenses for those islands.

I had Sprigatito and Fuecoco this morning, no Quaxly but their spawns seem generous.

So bedtime rewards will be a little better than they currently are. Maybe they'll have a streak system or something?
A catch-up mechanic for later joiners to help speed up the early game is good, too.
Area bonus not going to waste because you had to go to Greengrass for an event week is also really good, I've lost a few percent (maybe 15-20%) to that.
>>
>>56176265
that sleep research increase thing, you think it'll be used to help people to not take "naps"
that area thing is cool. now i don't have to use a travel ticket to move that 5%
>>
>>56176287
The phrasing of it being equally divided across other areas suggests it won't go to other max areas.

I've got both Greengrass and Cyan Beach at 60% now, so if I were to stay at Greengrass, that's probably 5% divided across Taupe Hollow, Snowdrop Tundra, and Lapis Lakeside.

I don't know if they'll cleanly divide it like 1.333% (5/3), or round it to either 1% or 2%, or randomly give two maps 2% and one map 1%, who knows.
Rounding would mean an amount being lost or possibly gained, depending on how they handle it.
>>
>>56176265
The bonus % would have been great earlier on since I've maxed greengrass for a few events. I have beach maxed so I won't visit again until all areas are maxed. Cave is 55% and I'm between 20 or 30 for both tundra and lake.
I'm guessing they will increase dream shards of 1 star styles because it sucks to get 20 from one mon and 3k from another. Early on dream shards were a bottleneck and honestly stayed that way until level 55 where it converts.
Good changes imo.
>>

It takes Helping Bonus, Helping Speed M, Helping Speed S, and a helping speed nature to match the ingredient output of solely Ingredient Finder M, so not really. But if you focus on it being mainly a berry farmer substitute instead of a dedicated ingredient farmer, it can work once it gets to level 50. That is a pretty long way to invest for a new pokemon though. I'd consider waiting for a better one.

Is EXP boost a waste if you already have a lot of candies?
>>
>>56176911
It's fine for the early levels. And considering that level 60 is unlocking relatively soon, no reason not to take advantage of it. You'll need at least 900 candies to get that Swablu to 50. So that's probably at least 1,300 total to get it to 60 and evolved.

if that anon who wanted to reset their sleep points back to factors of 100 only is around, I got a 20 point sleep from 1 hour, 43 minutes of sleep. I'd post a screenie, but I put my phone back to sleep. I also got an 18 pointer last week, and I'd have to check the screenshot to verify, but I think it was 1 hour 37 minutes.

If the Pokémon has Energy Recovery Bonus (or a team member does) it cancels out the penalty.

I have a potentially good Entei that suffers energy down nature, but a BFS Vulpix with Energy Recovery Bonus on it.

>>56179669
You save that incense for the Suicunne event. Water Pokémon will give you more mane if it’s the same as the other two beast events.
>>
>>56179614
You should save them for next week anyway for the extra candy bonus on pokemon that show up
>>
>>56179443
Depends what its base ingredient finding rate ends up being, but generally having only super help speed doesn't feel great. A lot of the time you'll just end up with stacks of berries, making them very unreliable as an ingredient farmer.
>>
>>56179614
They're common now, but they won't be common in the future.

Also, you cannot enter 3 star Paldea starter sleep styles on Greengrass.
For that reason, you want to save the incenses for Cyan Beach, Taupe Hollow, Lapis Lakeside, and use them there when you have a high Drowsy Power for a good chance of getting the 3 star sleep.

Like >>56179769 says you should also save them for the Suicune event. More spawns is more mane samples, even more if water.
>>
>>56180237
Mobile games tend to distribute old items like candy once they add new ones.
>>
>>56180338
We haven't had any update to the incense rewards and they don't normally reward pokemon incenses outside of introductory events either. Also I've never heard of games "handing out old items like candy" unless the game is somehow focused around items and its development is centered around massive powercreep.

I wish you could hold onto pot size increases, but I guess it would be too broken in general but especially on sundays. I need another increase of 6 to fill out the last recipe I need, and if I don't get that to happen before dinner I guess I'm just forgoing lunch.

Day 4 update is here.
The big one is that coming in the early August update, skill specialists will now "bank up to two skill triggers".
This gives Vaporeon a huge advantage over Blastoise as an Ingredient Magnet S user, for example, and is also a huge, huge buff to stuff like Golduck, Espeon, and Ampharos.

https://www.pokemonsleep.net/en/news/313536313637303631383531303738363537/

>■ Adjustment that allows helper Pokémon with the Skills specialty to bank main skill uses
>Currently, for all helper Pokémon, a main skill will not trigger again until it has been used once.
After this adjustment, Pokémon with the Skills specialty will be able to bank up to two uses of their main skill.
>Note: After this adjustment, when you tap on a Pokémon with a magnifying glass over its head on the home screen, if the Pokémon has the Skills specialty, it will sometimes use its main skill twice at one time.
>Pokémon that don’t have the Skills specialty can only bank one use of their main skills.
>You can see your helper Pokémon’s specialty in the upper right of the Pokémon’s details screen (from the home screen, tap Pokémon, then Pokémon Box, then on an individual Pokémon).

>■ Adjustment to game function when you edit your team
>After the adjustment, whenever you change which Pokémon are on your team—even if you only change one Pokémon—any banked main skills that are ready to be used for any of the Pokémon on your team will be canceled.
>We are making this adjustment to prepare for a wide variety of main skills that we plan to implement in the future.

>■ Addition of three-star sleep styles to the sleep styles that can be discovered on Greengrass Isle
>We plan to add some three-star Pokémon sleep styles to the sleep styles that can be seen during sleep research on Greengrass Isle.

>■ Increase to Strength gains from certain dishes
>The Strength gains from some dishes that don’t require many ingredients will be increased slightly.

That's a nice way to give skill pokemon a bit of an edge. The most obvious buff is going to go to E4E users, with everyone else falling pretty far behind. Getting an extra Dream Shard Magnet activation sounds nice though.

Above average, but just barely. Pokemon REALLY want those M skills and I wouldn't waste skill seeds when you can just keep rolling for better ones. Also even with the recent buffs to bean recipes, you'd probably still want anything other than beans.

weird, my gardevoir had a magnifying glass but didn't do anything but bow when I tapped it. No candy, skill trigger, or ingredients/berries.
>>
I'm actually a bit surprised. My Dragonite doesn't have any Ingredient Finder yet, but it finds plenty of ingredients. It does have Helping Speed M and help speed nature, but there aren't super long stretches without ingredients like some of my other Pokemon.

>>56181690

Question is if the skill triggers go to the same Pokémon, or two different Pokémon.
Same for Extra Helpful S.

The whole skill banking thing gives me an idea for a new subskill.
Basically "Skill Bank S", gives +1 to skill bank.
We've got 3 more announcements left this week. I'm expecting one of them will be for a new island or sleepdex goal with cooking pot increase, or something.
One of the announcements might have something to do with subskills, main skills, or natures. Really hoping for nature mints still.
I'm also wondering if they'll increase the level limit on the Go Plus sleeping cap Pikachu, mine has been at 18 for months.
>>
>>56182552
Seems pretty clear that it's 2 separate activations rather than the trigger and target being duplicated somehow. They also mentioned that changing your team at all before claiming activations would result in nullifying all triggers for your active team, so no trying to hold onto energy triggers while you swap out pokemon.

They already announced research level increases and some main skill level increases a couple days ago, so I'm not expecting anything further on that front. We'll definitely hear about a new island, sleepdex goal, and cooking pot increase since those have always been linked together. They might not be due at the beginning on August though, which is when they mentioned the previous 3 updates would be implemented. I'm thinking they're going to announce the Pokemon "buddy" rewards that they had been talking about. Some sort of reward system for spending time with individual pokemon.

Barely usable, but not worth much investment I'd say. Ingredient Finder tends to be VERY important unless you have BFS.
It's got the full ingredient spread though, but I'm not so sure if you'd actually want that for Sprigatito. I'm thinking you may not want Ginger as much due to ease of access on Snowdrop. Walrein, Tyranitar, Houndoom, and Kangaskhan are all able to get Gingers there

Well i think i found the weed i'll be sticking with
>>
an ingredient mon with BFS is usually desired or is it better to focus on ingredients better?
like gengar, it doesn't output as many ingredients as a charizard for example, so BFS on gengar doesn't seem THAT bad, but for Charizard it might not be as beneficial if you want ingredients exclusively?
>>
>>56185490
Gengar is fast so the ingredient rate is balanced by that. BFS makes it so the inventory fills faster.
So you want max ingredient finding so your mon doesn’t stay out for long so you can swap it out for a berry mon again.
If you check your game regularly and have one inventory subskill on top of two evolutions that also increase inventory size then it’s actually good. Otherwise it’s a hinderance, especially for some mons like Absol.
>>
>>56185490
It's generally better to have high Ingredient Finding over BFS. If you're running an ingredient pokemon, you really do want it to get ingredients over anything else. Otherwise, you would just be better off running a berry pokemon. The main thing that BFS does is smooth out how much power it provides on paper. But now with level 60 coming, you should want more inventory space available to be filled with those 8+ ingredient activations over a handful of berries.
>>
>>
>>56185490
Ingredient specialists with BFS are perfectly viable and good options for a balanced gathering of ingredients and berries.
They're good to run when you're not in need of ingredients, when you're running teams of high level 30 Pokémon you start to exceed and outpace your base cooking capacity.

On the opposite end, getting a mono-ingredient specialist with max ingredient finder rate can be so good at its job, that it can run for a day and keep you well stocked for multiple meals, letting you exchange it for another such specialist.

Part of the issue with this design is it favours going to sleep with berry specialists, which can leave your ingredient specialists falling behind on sleep EXP.
>>
>>56182858
Yeah, they announced that whole "rewards for more hours spent sleeping together" thing back in February iirc, I've been curious about that too.

There's two other major things I've been wondering about possible future upgrades, ones that would drastically improve your strength gathering.

First would be expanding your team to 6 helpers. Cut and dry, maybe as a sleep dex goals reward.

Second would be the inclusion of "Rainbow" subskills (keeping with how achievement badges go bronze -> silver -> gold -> rainbow).
Rainbow subskills can't be gained randomly on newly befriended Pokémon, and are upgrades to Gold subskills that may require a special subskill seed.
Effects would be things like:
>Berry Finding M: +2 to berry gathering
>Helping Bonus+: 10% helping speed bonus to whole team
>Sleep EXP Bonus+: 21% Sleep EXP gains
>Energy Recovery Bonus+: 21% Energy Recovery gains
>Research EXP Bonus+: 12% Research EXP gains
>Dream Shard Bonus+: 12% Dream Shard gains
>Skill Level Up L: Boosts Pokémon's main skill by 3
Pokémon with a very high friendship level (maybe 20+) have a chance to receive a rainbow subskill instead of gold.

Personally I’d like to see an eviolite like item or a “skin” that allows you to use pre evolved Pokémon with their evolved stats. So if you like flaffy more than ampharos (random example) you can evolve the Pokémon but keep its previous appearance. Probably won’t happen but it’d be nice.
>>
>>56186054
Yeah, pretty small considering the others this week.
Still, a mechanic that helps to zero-in on the fewer harder to find sleep styles is welcome.
Even a year in, I've a lot of gaps in my sleep style dex.

>>56186100
Due to how team composition is important for Helper Boost teams, I don't see them doing this.
Having access to a Pikachu with theoretically identical performance to a Raichu with equal spreads would be too good, and it probably bypasses the evolution costs and requirements.
>>
I suppose it could have been worse than what I got so far. At least we can get everything.
>>
>>56186143
>and it probably bypasses the evolution costs and requirements
if you had to evolve the pokemon before you can "skin" it to the preevolution, it could work
it might get confusing if you have a, ie, floragato with a dark berry, though. Might still be doable.

Looks like most of the numbers are settled for Fuecoco and Sprigatito lines, but not Quaxly’s yet.

Not only does Fuecoco end up getting a WORSE berry when it turns into Skeledirge, but it’s also not particularly fast like Gengar to compensate. It does unsurprisingly however, get the highest ingredient finding rate of the bunch, nearing almost 50% at max value (S, M, & Nature). So it could easily flood you with however many apples you want. Its skill trigger rate is also rather high (~6%; maybe 5 triggers/day), which I guess is supposed to “balance out” its unimpressive helping speed.

Sprigatito seems to be a middle-ground, with decent ingredient-gathering rate, but pretty standard skill trigger rate (~2%; maybe 1-2 triggers a day). It does however, have access to probably the most useful set of ingredients and a strong berry.

They seem to still be figuring out Quaxly’s numbers, but it seems to me that it may have the worst ingredient rate out of the trio since it can grab Leeks at 30. Its berry also gets worse when it evolves, and it’s unlikely that its skill trigger rate will be that high either, but you’ll get a good chunk of points just from its skill leveling up by being a 3-stage evolution.
>>
>>56188190
that's not too bad then, once there's a ghost island it'll be the only ghost to get apples. Considering the types left are poison, ghost, dragon, steel, electric and bug, there's only one bug ingredient and none of those other types currently get apples. And self heal at a high rate is seriously good.
So just get one with all apples and it'll be pretty good.
There should really be a bonus for matching the berry type of an island, if there isn't one yet. More than just a double berry power.
>>
yeah i definitely recommend having an ingredient pokemon only gathering a single ingredient that has the worst power in the game
>>
>>56188940
who gives a shit about power, do you even play the game? You need apples to make one of the best desserts and you need 20 of them. Why would you waste your time with fiery herb (gengar does it better) or sausage (LOL)

>>
>>56188968
Do you play the game? You're concocting theoretical perfect scenarios to justify having 0 flexibility in the meals that you can make for a week.

And even in those theoretical perfect scenarios, you can spend all the time levelling up your fuecoco, evolve it, come to the future ghost island getting ready to swim in apples, and get curries for the week and your time has been wasted cause you went for a single ingredient mon like a retard
>>
>>56189143
as opposed to depending on dice rolls and ending up with no apples, a bunch of sausage you don't need and some fiery herbs (which you don't even unlock until level 60) during dessert weeks
it will always be better to have specialized pokemon for ingredients than jack of all trades pokemon. If you get curry, then you use gengar for fiery herb or a mushroom gengar. Maybe I could see using apple, sausage, sausage skel since there's no ghost ingredient pokemon with sausage, but depending on what types the ghost island is paired with there's a few decent sausage ingredient pokemon already.
I'm saying this as someone who has tried using jack of all trades ingredient Pokemon and invested a lot of resources into them. Consistency is much better. I have two victreebel that are tomato, potato, leek and I'm constantly short on tomatoes during curry week. When they get to 60, then I'm going to have a mishmash of barely any tomatoes, potatoes and leeks. It's much better to have one pokemon for potatoes, one for tomatoes, one for cocoa, etc. There's nothing more frustrating than needing only 2 tomatoes to make something before lunch is over but your pokemon keep giving you something else.
>>
>>56189183
ok spend months levelling your fuecoco just to not use it on ghost island curry weeks, seems like a good plan
it's also great that new recipes haven't ever been introduced to the game

>>56189320
>ok spend months levelling your fuecoco just to not use it on ghost island curry weeks, seems like a good plan
unironically yes. That's only 1/3 that it's not at least decent. Absol is the same way, one good for desserts and curry and one good for fruit salad.
>it's also great that new recipes haven't ever been introduced to the game

>>
>>56189343
we do not get enough xp to have a high level pokemon of enough types specialized in enough ingredients to cover every current and future island

your point was consistency (in gathered ingredients) is better. a pokemon which, based on what you've been arguing, is unusable 1/3 of the time is not more consistent than a pokemon that is usable 100% of the time

and the extras weren't refutations of your point, just more things that show how rigidity is bad
>>
>>56189409
We get plenty of exp and ways to level our pokemon and they keep introducing more ways to level every couple of months.
>your point was consistency (in gathered ingredients) is better. a pokemon which, based on what you've been arguing, is unusable 1/3 of the time is not more consistent than a pokemon that is usable 100% of the time
Except it's not usable 100% of the time. If you get a mishmash of ingredients you can't use for meals, then it's not usable. Having that pokemon on your team giving you ingredients you don't need means you don't have a pokemon giving you ingredients you do need consistently. And you can't make those meals (and level them up) without having those minimum amount of ingredients.
So if skel decides this salad week that you're getting 0 apples, a bunch of sausage and very little fiery herb, now you need to conform the rest of your team around making superpower salad or contrary salad instead of knowing skel is going to give you apples and making fruit salad.
Mono ingredient pokemon let you know exactly what meal to aim for and who to use. That makes them consistent, even if you can't use them every single week.
And even if they did introduce new recipes or change recipes, unless they completely change how ingredient pokemon work then this will always be the most efficient way to use ingredient pokemon.
>>
Having every slot be the same ingredient I am finding to be overly redundant.

In terms of quantity, having slots 1 & 2 makes it consistent enough to actually rely on for that one ingredient. Only having the first slot is really restrictive since it's only 2x per help, but having it in the second slot as well usually gives you 4-5x (a 100-150% increase). But having the third slot be the same ingredient usually only ends up being around 6-7x (a 50% increase over the previous tier). So if you're planning on having a pokemon gather mainly one type of ingredient, especially with level 60 coming soon, I'd aim for a pokemon with that has that ingredient in 2/3 slots. That should be enough for it to be consistent, but the remaining slot would add some flexibility regardless of whatever recipes you're trying to make.

This is also why some ingredient types with a stronger base ingredient are so useful. Being able to gather more than the standard quantity in its tier is just going to smooth things out. Bewear for example, is among the strongest gatherers for anything it picks up because it starts with corn (and also has a decent base ingredient gathering rate).
I should also mention that the non-ingredient types that gather 3x ingredients at 30 are very appreciated in helping pad out your supply.
Altaria - x3 Beans
Ampharos - x3 Eggs
Arcanine - x3 Sausage
Golduck - x4 Apples
Houndoom - x3 Ginger
Meganium - x3 Honey
Walrein - x3 Sausage
>>
>>56189507
Consider the game on a 3 week basis where you hit all meal types instead of a single week basis
>>
>>56189568
I'm not sure I understand your point here, unless you're saying to stock up on your ingredients. Which I'd agree with if they weren't so stingy with the ingredient bag.
Otherwise again, you're not hitting all three meal types consistently.
>>56189562
This is a fair observation. For most pokemon having two slots of one ingredient and the last slot of a high amount ingredient is usually good enough or even great. For instance I have a fiery herb, corn, corn dragonair that I consider to be pretty good. And also a fiery herb, fiery herb, oil dragonair that is probably going to be excellent for salads and curries in the future. I harp on skel specifically because its late game ingredient, fiery herb, is already done by gengar (who can get it in multiple slots). I really don't understand why they didn't give skel corn.
>>
>>56189562
In practice, an ingredient specialist that only gathers one type of ingredient will gather more overall, to the point you can run them for one day and swap them out when you've got what you need.

Then you run an ingredient specialist (perhaps with favourite berries) to gather ingredients you need throughout the week.
Victreebel is a good example of this, it can gather the tomatoes and potatoes needed to make Greengrass Salad, and you alternate Bewear and Toxicroak to stockpile corn and oil respectively.

Skeledirge is poised to be an apple beast and will make it easy to regularly make "Calm Mind" Fruit Salad, provided you have a Meganium that can periodically get you honey, or a dedicated honey farmer like Venusaur.
>>
A ingredient specialist has one job:
To get the desired ingredients as quickly as possible.
Mono ingredients makes this insanely easy. The new duck got two beans and one oil (sadly). It has never been easier for me to get beans and go back to a berry mon afterwards.
>>
>>56189862
Currently, leeks and Slowpoke tails can only be gathered at level 30+, so there's no option a mono-leek gatherer.
That said Quaquaval has been identified as a great option for making Ninja Salad.

Until Sprigatito, there were no options for mono potato gatherers.

Something I forgot to mention earlier was that for diverse ingredient gatherers, unlocking slot 2 at 30 halves the amount of slot 1 ingredients they gather, making them unreliable for gathering that specific ingredient.

Day 6 update is here.
It notes that July 20th is the global release anniversary, exactly one year, and notes that the total amount of sleep tracked between 7/19/2023 and 5/28/2024 is about 3.9 billion hours, or 0.44 million years.

When logging in from July 20th up until 23 September, you can claim a gift of:
>Sleep point x2,000
>Main Skill Seed x1
>Poké Biscuit x10
>Friend Incense x3

Honestly very nice.

That's based, I was expecting this to be put in a purchasable bundle. Maybe I got a bit cynical seeing how every event there is a bundle to buy. One more day lf news, so it's going to be a big sneak peek.

That's a pretty big dump for a pretty limited payout.
Ultra Biscuit x5 [valued at 2,000 diamonds]
Great Biscuit x10 [valued at ~ 1,000 diamonds]
Main Skill Seed x1 [valued at ???]
Handy Candy L x1 (100 Pokemon candies) [valued at ???]

Sure you're technically getting more than the standard price worth of items, but that's the equivalent of $50 in diamonds. I have to imagine there will be much more worthwhile purchases in the time it would take you to recoup that amount. Biscuits tend to go pretty fast, so it never seems too worth for me to exchange diamonds for them.

Mono also includes ingredient mons which drop ingredients at lvl 30 and 60 that aren’t dropped at other levels. So Golem and Victribel were both mono potatoes.

How many anons gonna use raikou/entei incense tomorrow hoping for that 3* sleep style?
Good sleep's 2x drowsy power means you only need 1.2/1.3M for it to spawn

Only viable as a Jolteon, and the lack of BFS hurts it.
>>
>>56192800
I don't have any Raikou or Entei incense right now, though if you do have one using it during the Suicune event would be a good idea also.

When aiming for 2* or 3* legendary sleep, you should also put on a lucky or focus incense to try for the big dream shard / research EXP gains.

>>56192800
no mane rewards, and no more likely to get unfound sleep styles thing yet. but yeah you'll get a huge sleep score, so maybe it isn't entirely bad to do it

what does energy even do
>>
>>56194338
energy determines how fast your pokemon help out.

from 100-81% energy your mons have max efficiency allowing them to help out at 2.2x their frequency (the time listed on their stat page)

this multiplier goes down with lower energy, so pokemon with higher energy will bring in more productions than pokemon with lower energy

>>56194352
Energy levels also drop on ladder-steps, indicated by the emoji when you tap on them or view their stats.

Energy drops at a rate of 1% every 10 minutes.
An Energy for Everyone S Lv. 6 user will restore 18 energy to the whole team, which grants 3 hours worth of boosted productivity. The effect of this on the team is highly substantial and is why a lot of players recommend running a good Wigglytuff, Sylveon, or Gardevoir.

Energy recovered through sleeping caps at 100%, but effects that restore energy such as E4E S, Energizing Cheer S, Charge Energy S, and Energy Pillow can boost energy up to 150%.

Energy depletion is factored into overnight gathering, meaning your helps gradually slow down until the moment you end your sleep session and an amount of energy is granted depending on your sleep. 8 hours will deplete 48% of their energy.
This is why it's especially beneficial for your helpers to have lots of energy before going to sleep.

Natures can increase energy gains by 1.2x or decrease them by 0.88x.
Due to calculations, this means Pokémon with an energy hindering nature will only wake up with up to 88% energy if they bottomed out during sleeping time.
The subskill "Energy Recovery Bonus" multiplies energy recovery by 1.14x. As it happens, 88 x 1.14 is 100, so this subskill can cancel out the energy recovery penalty for Pokémon with such a nature.
The penalty still applies to effects like Energy for Everyone S though, but I'm not sure if it does with the Energy Pillow item.

Finally, all Pokémon in the box can gain up to 5% energy recovery depending on your sleep session.
This is doubled to 10% if you use a Recovery Incense.
Recovery Incense as an item is useful for planned shorter sleep sessions, although a lot of players will burn them off for "use 7 incense" missions which are common during events, and have this week. You can get one a week from your bedtime stamp card.
>>
>>56194569
i can confirm that energy recovery natures do indeed affect how much energy they recover from energy pillows. energy recovery up natures get 60 energy from pillows, while energy recovery down natures get 44 energy from pillows
>>
>>56194603
This anon is full of shit, it's always 50.

Is there anything really worthwhile to do with your diamonds other than increase the size of your various inventories? Also would anyone mind telling me how to get more than 27 ingredients in my pot (other than Pokemon skills)
>>
>>56194697
Diamonds are definitely best kept for inventory upgrades, especially ingredient space.
The bundles they offer periodically only amount to small boosts or accelerators and don't actually provide much benefit.
That's especially considering how expensive diamonds are when using real money, it's very poor value compared to a premium plan, and yet you can earn plenty of diamonds through regular play and sleep.

To upgrade your cooking pot requires hitting your next Sleep Style goal.
It'll tell you what your rewards are, but doesn't tell you that it'll let you upgrade the pot for some reason.
Each goal you hit lets you upgrade your pot two times for +6 capacity.
You'll need to hit 110 sleep styles to upgrade to 33. This gives you a free thunder stone by the way, which is great for getting Raichu, a top-tier helper when you get a fast one with BFS.

The 7th daily update should be dropping within an hour.
I'm expecting it will likely include details about the next sleep style dex goal. It currently takes 290 to hit the last goal and get max 57 pot size, and I'm at 380+ sleep styles now.
Based on trends, the next unlocks are likely to be at 340/350 then 400/410 sleep styles.

is the ribbon like evolite?

a unique icon for every pokemon is pretty cool, but i bet it's just a border or a small ribbon added to the portrait. Oh well, mostly useless. It's a carry boost for your pokemon, and a small help boost for unevolved states.

>>56195016
It has an Eviolite-like effect yes, so that anon wanting to run their Mareep instead of Ampharos may actually get what they want now. It takes 500 hours to get a helping speed boost though.

Depending on calculations, this could potentially make Jigglypuff a viable alternative to Wigglytuff as Jiggly has a higher skill trigger rate due to compensate for its slow helping speed.

A Jiggly with Ribbon Level 4 gets a 12% helping speed boost, but it may still cap at 35% boost overall based on the subskills.
That requires 2000 hours of sleep however, so probably a bad idea.

It could also make a BFS Pikachu viable for a Raikou team, but it's probably still better to run multiple BFS Raichu with an E4E healer.

The ribbons are underwhelming to be honest, the carry limit boosts are nice but that's basically all it amounts to.
Guess I can look forward to my best Wiggly and Raichu getting +8 carry capacity soon. That does help Wiggly have a skill trigger ready in the morning, I suppose.
>>
So it is basically Eviolite. Won't make them particularly any better than their final evolution, but it's a nice add. I guess we'll have to do a little research to see if the boosted help speed will... help. Onix is the first thing that comes to mind since its speed is almost the same as Steelix.
>>
>>56195077
It would also boost stuff like Scyther and Porygon2 as they're also side-grade evolutions.

Vigoroth probably gains the most from the Good-Night Ribbon.

>>
>>56195114
probably a few. my gardevoir is up to 1200 hours and I got her back in February.
>>
>>56195077
So for fully evolved Pokemon it's just +8 to their inventory at max level, which is pretty much useless for berry specialists and not even that much of a boost for other mons.
>>56195114
My Wiggly is at 2.4k with my Raichu at 1.9k. Next highest is Charizard at 800.
>>
>>56195114
My boy here.
>>
I can't really see this being particularly relevant to metagaming, considering you'd have to sleep for 2k hours first to even get started on it. That's opp. cost.
The inventory will probably be relevant once 60 ingredient unlock starts rolling in, though
>>
>>56195077
wished it helped out the pokemon who have no evolution. this would have helped them out a lot.
trying to catch them is a pain in the ass. and when you do catch one, could be super shitty.

holy fuck. you need to calm down with the sleeping

I got a Wiggs at 2.3k then my next highest is a Dodrio at 1k
>>
>>56195114
I still have a Pikachu that's at 1,800hr, so the helping speed will actually be a pretty decent bonus for it. I also have 6 other pokemon that are 1K+, but those are all final stages.

>>56195142
Technically it still does. All pokemon are capable of getting the inventory increases, and that tends to be the most significant downside of single-stage ingredient pokemon.
>>
>>56195149
Anon, you sleep about 2500-3000 hours a year, depending on habits/needs.

holy hell my wishes more or less came true nice
dragonair can function semi decently
this also helps other high evo level pokemon like pupitar since leveling them is a nightmare
>>
>>56195229
realistically by the time you've reached those sleep hours you'll have gotten whatever levels you need for those fuckers anyways
>>
>>56195282
Yeah, it's an Eviolite with a 500/2000 hour sleep equirement, that's not really a great help to things you intend to fully evolve.
>>
>>56195229
>>56195282
>>56195407
Technically if you didn't use any candies and solely relied on Sleep EXP, it would take roughly 2,200 hours to go from a a level 15 Dratini/Larvitar to level 41. Incredibly unlikely anyone would choose to go that route, but that's how much time it would take.

it's really just a treat for those guys who can't stand the appearance of the later evolutions

Cool how they will make NFEs more viable, but they should have made the additional ribbon bonus affect NFEs, single stages and two stages (to a lesser extent). Players shouldn't be gimped too hard for using their favorites in a game like this.

>>56194236
I forget how it sounded. I don't hate event music like the Ecruteak remixes, but the normal music on this game gives me a headache. I often play the game with sound off. Can't stand most of the area themes nor the cooking and sleep review themes.

>eevee needs sleep to evolve into umbreon
>eevee with invested sleep will be outperforming an evolved umbreon

poor umbreon
>>
>>56195834
after factoring in wiki berry's slightly stronger value it's like 2% better, and umbreon has a far better skill + trigger rate for gathering. but you're either spending 150 hours for a shittier houndoom or 2000 hours for a shittier houndoom, so lol
>>
>>56195922
the it in this case referring to eevee of course. but if this boost shares the same 35% cap as all the other helping speed bonuses then umbreon takes it again
>>
>>56195834
>>56195922
Huh? Umbreon is both faster and has a stronger berry even with Eever's 12% boost after 2,000 sleep hours.

>what's the plan?
Try to find pokemon worth using 262 candies on to keep the 15 diamonds flowing in
>how did your week go?
I got a solid sprigatito that I fucked up by evolving, and I got a cyndaquil that's Got BFS @10 and helping speed S and M @ level 75 and 100 :C, energy up, ingredients down.
>>
>>56196931
You should probably be on either Lapis or Cyan to prep for water week. Reminder that there are no rate ups for Snowdrop and Taupe only has Fuecoco.
>>
>>56196931
>where you going?
Back to Lapis Lakeside
>what's the plan?
To push that area bonus closer to 60%, and try for a BFS Dratini or ideal Ralts, like before, plus enjoy extra candies for the Lapis Lakeside spawns
>how did your week go?
Pretty good, got a Rash Fuecoco with Ingredient Finder M and Apples/Apples/Sausages, should be a great fit for a future Ghost island

Here's a reminder of what second week of event has in store:
>Candies earned through sleep research multiplied 1.5x
>Base dish strength multiplied 1.5x (3x on Sunday)
>Mini Candy Boost available (50 candies have 2x EXP for 4x Dream Shard cost)
>Featured Pokémon more likely to appear
>Research EXP multiplied 1.5x
>Pokémon of different sleep types will appear regardless of your measured sleep style
>Dream Gift can be opened each day

You can encounter the following Paldean starter species:
>Greengrass Isle
Sprigatito Family, Fuecoco, Quaxly
>Cyan Beach
Fuecoco Family, Quaxly Family
>Taupe Hollow
Fueoco Family
>Lapis Lakeside
Sprigatito Family, Quaxly Family

You may've encountered Floregato or Meowscarada during Greengrass this week if you were lucky, so you might want to go to Cyan Beach if you want to focus on Crocalor, Skeledirge, Quaxwell, and Quaquaval.
You should avoid Snowdrop Tundra however, you won't meet any of the Paldean starters there.

I'm personally going to Lapis Lakeside for increase candies on all the good stuff, plus I'm kinda good for Fuecoco right now but am still looking for an uncompromised Sprigatito and Quaxly.
The female kitty I got this morning had a bad nature, it's the second case of "mints please".
>>
>>56196054
Umbreon got shafted hard by giving it a main skill that's intended for berry or ingredient specialists.

Umbreon is pretty mediocre at gathering anything, so Charge Energy S only serves to bolster its own mediocrity, where it should've instead had a main skill that actually helps the team.
>>
>>56196931
>where you going?
Lapis, my garde is mono apple so I'm not interested in hunting fuecoco at the moment
>what's the plan?
More Dratini candy mostly, need to get this mono herb one to level 30.
>how did your week go?
Pretty well, got to master 16 on GG and found a shiny quaxly and a really good double milk sprigatito, gonna be looking for a better double leek quaxly
>>
So what were these strings for ;_;
Why are there ribbons but no mints…
>>
>>56196931
I still need a good Totodile and haven't caught even a double apple Fuecoco, so Cyan sounds good.
My week was rather disappointing, I thought for sure I was going to be able to hit Master 20 for the first time, but will probably fall just short of Master 19. Looks like the Entei event was my only chance and I missed it rip.

>>56196931

>finally get Master Rank for the first time
Damn Snorlax gets huge.
>>
>>56196054
it's an additive bonus with the 500 hour one so that's 11%+14% for 25% total. eevee base freq is 3700 so that would put it down to 2775 without additional factors, umbreon's base is 3200 by comparison. the stronger berry plays a little catchup, but not enough.
you wouldn't seriously consider running either one unless it came with BFS and could operate as a gimped berry gatherer, but that's how it goes.

To me, the second one is better. Sprig's a better ingredient pokemon than skill pokemon or at least that's been my experience so far. The pot increase is a pleasant surprise when it happens but not something dependable especially with the skill pokemon buff coming soon.
That depends if you're going to evolve to meow or not. If you stay grass, then it might be worth it to have a lapis grass pot pokemon but if you evolve, then glaceon does the pot skill way way better.

Going back to the ribbons... after reviewing the entire current pokedex, only Onix and Vigoroth increase their current standing with the added speed bonus. Onix already stood on its own by being the sole Rock-type berry farmer, but its speed also isn't much slower than Steelix, which is only about a minute faster. Vigoroth competed directly with Raticate as a Normal-type berry farmer, but now Vigoroth outcompetes it if it has a ribbon.
Unsurprisingly, there aren't any 1st-of-3 stagers that are going to actually compete with their fully evolved forms. Granted that's not really the point of the ribbons, but just for those who are curious.
>>
>>56198485
i remember seeing something about psyduck had a bit bigger or same trigger rate than golduck.
it was just slower and had a lower inventory capacity was the difference. so maybe the ribbon can work on something like that.
if not then maybe i was reading some bullshit.

Left is pretty decent, but like the other anon said, I wouldn't really train a pseudo without Berry Finding. You need to invest so much time and resources into it, that you should only consider the to top 10% of rolls. Tyranitar does have a pretty decent skill trigger and ingredient rate already, so BFS goes a long way.
>>
>>56198822
You know what's even worse?
That, but you had +10 crit from dedenne
>>
>>56198548
The problem with those Larvitars is that without BFS, it's only worth it if you actually want the ingredients, but mono ginger kinda sucks dick.
I have a decent larvitar myself but I've held off from investing on it because the ingredient spread is awful. Maybe if they introduce more recipes then things will change.
