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.

Have this for the event but I don’t really want to waste shards leveling it or use skill seeds
>>
>>57059355
Persian isn't particularly great for shards in the first place, so I wouldn't spend all the resources especially on something subpar. With a near perfect Lucario, you could get about 150,000 shards during the event and a Swalot could wind up with twice that.

BUT, it's probably not wise to try and build up something specifically for the event, since it's not just immediately going to pay itself off. You really do need a high main skill level to make one worth using in the first place anyways. Not to mention that you're also getting the regular bonus from Sleep Research, so you might as well just continue to put your power towards that instead.

The way I play the game rn is with my phone, which doesn't really track sleep data at all, giving me balanced every night.
I ended up needing to get one of these smart bands due to a heart condition, and this thing also tracks sleep. Is it worth to switch from eternally balanced phone tracking to band tracking to get specific sleep styles at the risk of getting locked to only one sleep style?

Wonder if I should actually train up a second Dragonite just for corn...
>>
>>57062919
Shit that's good, subskill order is frustrating but actual perfection at 100.

In practice, you want to focus solely on one Dragonite and have a Bewear for corn so you make more effective use of two separate candy pools.
Gengar also fits into this equation because it can be an excellent herb farmer, meaning Dragonite is good for filling a missing gap between Bewear and Gengar.
>>
what should I look for in a Dratini?
Ingredient finder?
Berry Finder S?
if a mix of ingredients is preferred, then why not a mono farmer?
>>
>>57062989
dragonite is incredibly good, fast with a decent skill
if you need fiery herb, it's an amazing fiery herb pokemon
if you need corn, it's a great corn pokemon
it's fast enough and dragon berries are worth enough that a BFS hybrid set works extremely well
I think the only set that would suck is fiery herb, corn, oil
>>
>>57062980
>subskill order
That's really the only reason I didn't immediately start training it.

>>57062989
Just your standard ingredient set works: Ingredient Finder M, and ingredient or speed up nature, with neither of those down. Pretty much anything after that it's just a bonus.
Though you can also get one with BFS and speed and that seems to work perfectly fine for me. Mine is mono-herb, Helping Speed M, Inventory L, Berry Finding, and speed nature. There are still stretches where it just gets berries, but I do end up using Fiery Herbs as filler for most of my dishes with how much it naturally gathers. Ideally you probably want herb/herb/corn, but it's going to be pooping out lots of ingredients, so it depends what you need. But like >>57063002 said, herb/corn/oil probably won't be very consistent for anything but Oil.

To date, this is still the only BFS + Helping Bonus Pokemon I have.

Strings of events have kept me going back to Snowdrop and LL recently, I'm at Lapis this week and it's been fruitful with lots of Bellsprout, Dratini, and Chikorita candies, but the ones I've befriended haven't been worth raising.
Next week I'll go OGPP before the mandatory week at Greengrass for the festive event.

>>57063002
There kind of really isn't any bad ingredient spread for Dragonite. Even the A/B/C spread is good because it ends up being a top three Oil gatherer somehow.

>>57063913
I've gotten six Pokémon to-date that technically have both BFS and Helping Bonus, but in practice it's really just this Meganium here.
The Wigglytuff will eventually have it at level 75, but realistically my Ninetales may not ever see level 100.
The other three are ones I'm unlikely to run.

Note that I've kept almost anything that had BFS until now, so it's obviously very skewed. Every remaining occurrence of gold skills:

Sleep EXP - 14

I didn't get to mention this last thread, but until they confirm if A-Vulpix is going to have a different candy set or the same like in Go I'm gonna try and prioritize sending Vulpix candy as I encounter them for anyone wanting to save up.

>>57066013
It seems pretty likely that Alolan Vulpix will share the same candies given how all the event Pikachus and Eevee lines work. While they're regarded separately for sleep styles and friendship levels, they still use the same candies regardless. You still have to use a stone after all, which typically becomes a significant barrier to use.
>>
>>57066013
I get the feeling it will have a different set since the regional form is a whole line, not just an offshoot like Alohan Raichu would be (please add it dev team)

>>57067010
Yeah, coffee seems rare from the skill.

I keep having to fight whether or not to spend more biscuits on stuff I still need, but I also have to save some for the xmas event when Pawmi, Holiday Eevee, and A.Vulpix show up.

>>
>>57069112
They're just restyling abilities to make pokemon species more individualized so that even subpar performers can get their niche. Ironically they just changed Houndour's from S to M just when they were starting to make these changes, but they said all skills will end up with a unique twist eventually. And the specially named skills all still have their base skill in parenthesis, I assume to at least give a general idea what it does along with its general power level. Though you also have stuff like Stockpile which is mechanically a lot different despite being tagged Charge Strength S.
>>
>>57069051
Transform/Mimic could be amazing depending on implementation and team composition.
Wondering if a copied Helper Boost becomes Psychic type or Normal type, like when Metronome picks Helper Boost and becomes Fairy type.

Arbok getting a helping speed buff also very significant, it might be that I shouldn't ignore them after this. Poison berries are actually pretty strong.

Comfey also desperately needed that buff, its role is early access to corn but for when corn was introduced and so many had Stufful and Bewear, Comfey was irrelevant.

>>57069078
Mail Skill seed in regular shop sure as fuck won't be cheap, it's already 1800 in the premium exchange.

>>57069331
Possibly, and Metronome is still really good. It'll still have Helper Boost available to it.
Mechanically, there might need to be a reason why a certain kind of main skill is excluded from the Metronome pool. Say, something like a legendary skill that causes every helper to use their main skill in tandem.
A skill like this would have to belong on a "special" Pokémon of which you're only allowed to have one on your team, so no combination of this plus a Helper Boost Entei, etc.

No way they would make it over a month's worth of sleep points. Maybe +500 points at most, since they're still limited and premium pass users also have access to both shops. Note that the point exchange shops still require you to actually play the game to get sleep points, so it doesn't make sense for them to introduce the option yet price it in a way that discourages even premium pass users from purchasing it.
>>
should I change my area every week or stick with one
>>
>>57071606
Main skill seeds ended up being the thing that worked against skill specialists, they outright rely on them.

Berry specialists and ingredient specialists improve at their roles by levelling up; berries get stronger, new ingredient slots unlock, there's less of a reliance on subskills but they do improve their role.
All skill specialists had was the chance to get +1, +2, or +3 skill levels from subskills (which has to compete with skill trigger subskills), and the skill levels gained from evolution IF they can evolve (mons like Dedenne gets stuffed).

The imbalance here can be seen as intentional as skill specialists have the potential to do incredible things, the trade off being an added investment is required and therefore adds value to whatever economy is implemented, and encourages you to go premium, save up sleep points, etc.
In practice, you have a whole category of Pokémon that are heavily limited in use due to the scarcity of these seeds, as they can't deliver on berries or ingredients for direct strength contributions.

I feel like there's a very simple fix to this problem, something like a guaranteed +1 skill level when hitting level milestones like 20 or 40, and maybe only for skill specialists. The "double bank" skill trigger was a much needed buff, but only for actually running actively outside of the economy thing mentioned.

>>57071831
Stick to an area if you want to advance team building, whether that's finding a specific 'mon to add or earning candies to power up a 'mon worth running.
Change to new areas if you want to advance your sleep dex goals. Progressing into Lapis Lakeside and Old Gold Power Plant in particular are important goals because they have good spawns (more desirable and fewer undesirable).
Sleep dex goals are also how you increase your maximum cooking pot size, and maximum area bonus.

>>57072165
for something like dragonite, which uses a ton of resources to even evolve it, I wouldn't settle for less than 92
imo, you want mono herb, herb corn corn or MAYBE herb herb oil. I wouldn't bother with an herb corn oil one
I wouldn't invest in a dragonite without helping speed or ingredient up, either
it takes way too long to raise one, and the candies are rare to come by.

no, it's pretty bad

inventory L doesn't help berry pokemon
energy recovery is ok
and you don't get helping speed until level 100, so it's useless
>>
>>57072742
>energy down nature
Not if you got a healer, which you don't
>Ingredient Finder
Bad because Pichu is a berry mon

Helping works in a funny way. The specialty (top right of the screen) tells you which thing a Pokémon specialises in (with few exceptions) and that means that you are supposed to use it for "berries" for example. This also affects how their helpings work.
Each helping is a spin of a wheel. On that wheel is (example) 90% berry helping, 7% ingredient helping and 3% skill trigger helping. The game automatically spins the wheel each time the pokemon helps (that kinda is helping frequency but that is also more complicated too).
Subskills can change how this wheel looks though. Whenever you have Ingredient Finder S/M or Skill Trigger S/M it'll remove some berry finding chance (always) and adds it to the respective helping category. This means that a berry mon is actively hindered by having a higher chance at finding ingredients.
The Skill "Berry Finding S" however, does not change the wheel you spin but just adds a berry each time you gather one (so it's 3 at once for the Pichu line for example).

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT I CAN RECOMMEND IS to always recruit the most base form of any line. There's an argument to be had about recruiting evolved berry specialists but since you are new you should stick to that mantra. Except for shinies. Shinies take one normal PokeBiscuit for a recruit. They're a guaranteed capture.

Something I didn't know: the hardness of your mattress apparently makes a difference when tracking (I'm using the pogo++).
I'm on a trip and this mattress is really firm. As a result, the pogo detects a lot less movement during the night, and I end up getting a lot more slumbering than I should be.
>>
>>57074086
Yeah, this is something I've noticed too when it comes to the fitting of my bedsheets, and even just how close I place my Go++ to the corner.

>Arbok - Frequency shortened slightly
Currently at 1:01:40, has to be dropped to at LEAST 1:00:00, maybe as much as mid 50's to be decent. Arbok currently matches Altaria, but has weaker berries and ingredient quantities/power. For reference, Slaking is 1:03:20, Marowak is 58:00, and Houndoom is 55:00, which are the next slowest berry lines. Wonder if they'll buff Marowak eventually too.

>Pikachu (Holiday) - Frequency shortened slightly, carry limit increased
Probably just getting bumped up to the same levels as Halloween Pikachu.

>Cramorant - Main skill chance increased slightly
Currently gets about 2.2 activations per day at base, so I imagine it will only provide a tiny bit of consistency. Might actually get a solid 4 per day with enough skill boosts. But 2 activations per day is actually pretty decent for a non-skill type already. Cramorant could actually use slightly more ingredient finding chance.

>Comfey - Ingredient finding chance increased slightly, main skill chance increased slightly
Really needs all the help it can get since it's so far behind the other single-stagers, and it's actually the worst ingredient type in terms of quantities, barely sitting behind Quagsire.

So my sleep schedule in apple watch is 12-8. But on the weekends I don't follow this. Like last night I slept at 3am and woke up today at 12pm.

>>57082432
I think you're underestimating just how much resources it takes. Not only that, but the Dratini really doesn't have much going for it besides BFS. The other 2 skills are basically throwaways, leaving the nature as OK, but almost the worst negative a pseudo could possibly have. Even with BFS, you still want at least Ingredient Finder M or Helping Speed M as one of the other skills reachable by 50.
>>
Was thinking of leveling up this Wooper I got with Candy Boost, but then I compared it at level 50 to my Gengar. Not only does it get less Mushrooms, but even with Oran berries being preferred it only barely beats out Gengar with berry power. And that's without the extra Herbs or Gengar's skill which would likely proc at least once per day. Guess I don't really have a need to find a Wooper, unless I manage to get a perfect one and want to invest in it just for Cyan Beach.
>>
>>57083265
Quagsire is notably poor for both its gathering speed and ingredient rate that are intended to balance out its high base ingredient power. The important part is having mushrooms at 60, if not all slots, though I guess potatoes also aren't bad as a secondary ingredient. You don't actually need any more than 45-ish mushrooms per day in order to make all the recipes that currently use mushrooms. And since Quagsire is so slow, it really is just better off maxing speed and ingredient rate over berry finding or extra inventory.

i think it'll be buffed in the future. I dont think they ever nerfed something but they have buffed a lot of stuff so it makes sense why they would release Quagsire a little underpowered.

CAN I GET ONE FUCKING DELIBIRD WITH LEVEL 30 EGGS

With 600m points yesterday I got maybe 15k dream shards? Like all level 1 sleep styles, what a waste of a good sleep day.

Meanwhile my delibird giving me 6 apples at level 30 has been my desert boi of choice

I got my Skeledirge for apples. It's not level 30 yet but I'm drowning in them, though Pokeplus Pikachu helps contribute to that too. I desperately need eggs so I've been slaving away in Snowdrop for weeks, but these fuckers are rare and get full at 2 biscuits. I've resorted to using up Master Biscuits since I'm not going for a legendary any time soon.

Good Sleep Day increases your odds of undiscovered sleep styles too.
I only got Slumbering sleep last night, but I got a Bewear and Quaquaval sleep style I needed and that's put me at 90% of Lapis Lakeside discovered.
Still haven't seen a Dragonite though, I likely would've had I gotten dozing sleep.

>>57085876
Not much, you get like around 10-12 ingredients a day and some berries. I bought it mostly to spare my phone.

>>
>>57085879
Pretty sure it will just use the generic version of all skills. So there's the possibility of it using Berry Burst over Disguise, but I doubt it would use Skill Copy mainly to avoid a trigger loop (Skill Copy > Metronome > Skill Copy > etc). And Stockpile would just turn into Charge Strength S.

Is slaking usable for anything? I still find it weird that it loses speed on evolve, but I guess it’s on brand.

it doesnt just lose speed on evolve, it turns into a quasi-double specialist. As Slaking you have a good chance at getting either berries or a skill trigger.

It really depends what skillset your Slakoth has to determine whether it would be better as a Vigoroth or Slaking. The Slakoth line is interesting since it's justifiable to not fully evolve it, like Onix/Steelix. And both lines actually got a buff with ribbons too, since the unevolved forms get a minor speed bonus after enough sleep hours logged.

BFS -> Vigoroth
Skill Trigger -> Slaking

Slaking not only gets slower, but also gets an increased ingredient rate too, so BFS is actually pretty bad on it. Conversely, that also makes it decent for picking up ingredients... still not fantastic since it still only as the 1x/2x/4x quantities.

>>
>>57087908
The general gist is that some Pokémon are more useful than others and that's simple enough to look up.
Familiarity with the main series is enough to know that stuff like Raichu, fully evolved starters and pseudos, Gengar, Walrein, are gonna be better than things like Arbok, Persian, Sudowoodu, etc.
Though really it's best to look up stuff and see which ones are actually good or not. Victreebel for example is quite a bit more useful than Mr. Mime despite serving near-identical capabilities (including favorite berries at a given island).

Really, consult resources in the OP post they're there for a reason.
The gist you need to understand about picking actually viable Pokémon though:
>Look for the "speciality" icon at the top of a Pokémon's status screen
>Berry specialists want nature and subskills that prioritise helping speed and berry finding, they also do not want ingredient finding boosts
>Ingredient specialists want ingredient finding boosts above all else, but you also need to pay attention to their ingredient slots at levels 1/30/60 and see if they fill a need (mono-ingredient versus diverse ingredients), Inventory boosts are also welcome because it allows them to collect more ingredients overnight or during longer absences
>Skill specialists want skill trigger boosts above all else, but also enjoy skill level ups (but you can also achieve these through evolution and main skill seeds), you also need to consider if their main skill is worth using

There are hidden stats to each Pokémon with how frequently they gather ingredients or use their main skill, these are typically low on Pokémon that don't specialise in ingredients or skills respectively. As a result, having skill trigger boosts on berry or ingredient specialists is often a wasted slot because it's only giving maybe a 20% boost to a hidden 2% trigger rate, versus a 15% trigger rate on skill specialists.
These hidden stats are also why some Pokémon can be unexpectedly good or bad.

Was trying to find out of the random star in this bundle was supposed to be a new item, but there is no data related to it. However if it is a new item, they could always introduce it with a small patch. The others are regular assets for the x-mas event and the new pokémon forms

There is a new MD for skill filters, which only doesn't seem to list Stockpile/Spit Up, doesn't show any difference from the usual list.

I doubt Metronome and Skill Copy (Transform/Mimic) should trigger from Metronomone or the otherway around.

Did a quick analysis of Arbok's frequency buff, for a speculated poison/bug/dragon island, and it looks like it puts it on-par with Altaria as they both are slow but powerful berry gatherers with Charge Strength S.

Great skills and nature, the ABA fucks it a bit though. I'd say it's okay if you're willing to kick it up to 60, though not as a solo herb farmer.

It delivers on ingredient strength for sure, it just depends how well it fits into your ingredient gatherers since it shares roles between Gengar and Bewear.

I would personally keep looking since Dragonite needs either a perfect ingredient spread and 2+ ingredient finding boosts, or BFS.
Dragonite is flexible due to how damn fast it is and how strong Yache berries are.

Guess Ditto and Mr Mime could technically already be at main skill level 7 for Charge Strength S, so Skill Copy goes up to level 7, which is a boost over Metronome. The description doesn't seem to describe anything different though.

>>57099082
Buying diamonds, and the bundles that cost diamonds has never been worth it. Diamonds earned through play just for storage upgrades is more than adequate and we're lucky that storage upgrade costs don't scale like cooking pot upgrades.

Premium subscription is worth it for the relatively low cost and high value, but that's it.
Also those rare "one time cash purchase" bundles with a lot of biscuits for really cheap, that's happened like twice have been worth it.

The economy of the game is weird, the microtransactions just aren't worth it as by the nature of the game you aren't racing to the finish but enjoying the slow, idle grind.
Select Button's previous game, Magikarp Jump, I played all the way to the end without spending a single penny on it. Paying to accelerate an idle game just doesn't make much sense, especially in one that lacks any kind of gacha or chase mechanics.

>>57100678
Upgrading Skill Trigger S to M actually makes it pretty decent at level 50. You would have to give it a lot of main skill seeds to get any real payoff out of it though. Not to mention you won't be able to turn it into a Lucario in time for the Dream Shard event either.
>>
>>57100583
Depends on what your goal is. I maxed out Ninja Curry and unless I'm tryharding that week I try to raise the level of other recipes.
>>
>>57100583
If it's a casual week I'd consider focusing on lesser recipes that are easier to make.

I'm close to maxing out a few of the really good corn based recipes now, and the reason I make them is to strengthen the Snorlax, not the recipe itself.

Casual weeks you want to improve your bottom line, and maybe accelerate your early week gains so you can hurry to Master 3 for the incense and maximum spawns, and reasonably good dream shard gains whilst still finding any sleep styles you might be missing.

Top line is for events that really matter where you can afford to use a good camp ticket and dump in extra ingredient tickets and helper whistles to meet important goals.

Speaking of which, I'm thinking of using a good camp ticket for next week's Dream Shard event. I have a lot of them saved up because "important events" aren't as frequent right now, and it'll directly increase my dream shard earnings which'll help with how many I'll be using up on Candy Boost.
>>
>>57099932
Actually not sure if I should go ahead and get the BFS one up to an Aggron in the meantime, because it really is pretty far ahead power-wise before level 60. The only real detractor to that one is more Sausage at 60 vs precious Coffee. S-rank skills are worse than positive natures after all, so it might be worth to wait for yet another with the same ingredient set.

Candy Boost next week will pull it off (hitting level 41 for evolution), but it'll cost at least 300k Dream Shards.
However you'd also have like 200-300 candies left over so you could opt to go dream shard efficient for the remaining later levels.

That's assuming an EXP neutral nature.
>>
>>57104262
I don't even think the Candy Boost will be very worth this time around. It might make sense under... level 25-30 still, but I still haven't fully upgraded my pot either. So I have a decent amount of shards, but very much not an excess that I really need over candies.

>>57105260
I'm personally at a point where I'd really like to hurry end certain things to 50 or 60.
My best Gengar, Victreebel, and Bewear to 60 for ingredient unlocks.
My best Entei to 50 for Skill Trigger M unlock.
Maybe get a promising Grubbin up to a level 30 Vikavolt; mono-coffee, BFS, very high ingredient rate, but speed hindering nature.
Also a good BFS Dedenne that gets Skill Trigger M at 50, but I'm holding out for the possibility of nature mints because it would be literal perfection then.

>>57105334
They never disclose odds for "increased shiny chances" so I never give them any weight or thought.

>>57105943

>>57106791
The point though really is that when you're "rolling" for something, ethically they should be disclosing what the odds are.
Although since shinies aren't something you can actually pay to roll for (you're literally encouraged to sleep properly), as opposed to typical lootbox mechanics, it's fine really. It's arguably the less harmful gacha mechanic though there's qualms with rolls when befriending Pokémon.

always use tickets the Sunday night before, just AFTER you'd normally go to bed (So you get it for the Monday morning, and go to bed just before it expires the following Sunday. I have 4 saved, so I'll be using one, at the very least for an extra shiny roll.
>>
>>57110571
I see. so if I typically track my sleep at 9:30pm, I should track it at.. say.. 10:00pm?
>>
>>57110610
Yep, just don't forget to start tracking before 10pm on the second sunday.
Also, in regards to using a luck incense, the best days are the 29th, 25th and 24th, in that order (since your drowsy power will be higher later on in the week).
>>
>>57110478
That estimate is per Pokemon, so obviously seeing more Pokemon increases your chances per day. Same for recording multiple sleep sessions per day.

>Can someone give me the QRD on next week's event?
Event takes place at Greengrass Isle only.
Ice types have guaranteed favourite berries, +1 main skill level, +1 to gathered ingredients, 1.5x skill trigger rate.
Dream shard gains are doubled from both sleep research, and Dream Shard Magnet S main skill activations. Sleep research shards are tripled when starting a sleep session on December Wednesday 25th and Sunday 29th.
Newly debuting Pokémon are the Alolan Vulpix and Pawmi lines, which will be easier to encounter than usual, along with many ice types.
Pikachu (Holiday) and Eevee (Holiday) wearing Santa hats will be available too, with Eevee being new. Note that Pikachu (Holiday) has Dream Shard Magnet and is a skill specialist, compared to regular or Halloween Pikachu.
Event missions will be available that award incenses for these new Pokémon, and generous amounts of dream shards and biscuits.
Shiny rate is apparently boosted, by how much is unknown.
When signing in on the 24th and 25th you'll receive "Dream Gifts", contents yet unknown.
On the 25th, you'll receive 1225 bonus Sleep Points.
The Candy Boost function will be available, where you can double the EXP gained from using candies, but at the cost of using 5x as many dream shards. You can boost up to 500 candies per day, this is recommended for species whose candies are scarce due to appearing rarely, or for giving low level Pokémon a leg up when dream shard costs are still low.

https://pks.raenonx.cc/en/info/event/name_7-Holiday-2024 gives a good overview of what to expect.

>Are you using a GCT? When should I pop the double shard incenses?
I'll be using one since greater Snorlax strength gains directly correlate to higher Drowsy Power, and therefore more Dream Shards earned through rarer sleep styles observed.
GCT will give +1 Pokémon encounter, popping a Pokémon incense will also give some additional Dream Shards, consider popping some junk incenses like Graveler or Raticate, you can use them at Greengrass.

You also have a small chance of getting Raikou (Snoozing), Entei (Snoozing), and Suicune (Slumbering) encounters at Greengrass once you surpass Master 9 with 40 million Drowsy Power.
For 2 star legendary sleep, you need Master 13 and 115m DP.
3 star needs Master 19 and 243m DP.

>When should I use the GCT to maximize the days of usage?
Have a slightly later than normal bed time on Sunday, and activate your GCT right before you start sleep tracking.
On the following Sunday, make sure to sleep track before the GCT runs out, and you'll get 8 nights sleep worth of GCT benefits.
E.g. activate at 12:30am and take Sunday's last sleep at 12:15am, or 12:29am if you're daring.

Also, when you arrive at GG on Monday morning, and your two randomly rolled favourite berries or meal reference are no good, remember that you can use an E-Zzz Travel Ticket to reroll Greengrass.
I only have the one good Walrein, so I need good accompanying rolls like Electric, Grass, Fire, Water, Ghost, as these are my better picks. I was considering going with a Dream Shard Magnet farming team though, buuut the payout is probably going to be weaker than rushing to Master 20, since I've accomplished it before during a previous legendary event with 60% area bonus and GCT. I currently have 70% at GG.

Something interesting I noticed whilst checking Raenonx for Holiday event stuff.

Halloween and Holiday Pikachu use internal Pokédex numbers #9001 and #9002, but Eevee uses #9004, suggesting that there could be at least one more seasonal event Pokémon using #9003.
Similarly, Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales use #7006 and #7007, so there may be five other regional variant Pokémon before them yet to be introduced.

Maybe we'll see the likes of Alolan Geodude line at Old Gold Power Plant? We already see the regular Kantonian Geodude line there.

>>57112133
Very helpful, thanks anon
>>
>>57112152
Wouldn't be surprised to see Alolan and Galarian Meowth in the future.
>>
>>57112152
9003 was probably Eevee (Halloween) that they were going to release, but then decided to do a second Pikachu instead.
7001-7005 are probably reserved for the Alolan versions of Rattata, Raticate, Raichu, Sandshrew, and Sandslash. It would make sense to keep them all in Pokedex order if they do get added in eventually, since every other Pokemon is ordered as such.
>>
Wonder if they'll actually give xmas Eevee a new skill or if it'll just have to be a strictly better (non-evolving) Eevee
>>
What's up with Ditto now? Do we treat it like a skill pokemon or stick with ingredient finding skills?
>>
>>57112152
Give me my Alohan Raichu already.
>>
>>57113879
>Do we treat it like a skill pokemon
Hell no, his skill was changed but his abysmal trigger rate is still the same. An average of 1.5 triggers per day at lvl 50.
The skill change is just a fun small bonus.
>>
>able to find the three new mons on OGPP
>only Super 3
I didn't think it was possible... maybe I should go there from now on until I get a good coffee bean bug.

Well, it's usable at least.

>>57115055
Makes a nice stop gap coffee farmer, until you can find the best one.

>>57111320
thank you
>>
I only get the best.
>>
>>57114030
Thanks, that's what I thought
>>
>>57113879
If you really want to use a skill like that, just go for Metronome via Togekiss or Clefable. Both actually have decent activation rates. Just wish I had ones that weren't so shit.
>>
I guess this will have to do for my Ice coverage for next week...
>>
>>57118047
At least it's better than my Ice-types. I don't have a great feeling going into next week. I can only hope for curry and good berry rolls.
