Apparently it takes this many candies to go from lv15 to 65.
You know with Expert Mode, it actually makes sense to train both a 2k hour Crocalor as well as a Skeledirge to cover both types while getting your Apples.>>58176054I was wondering why my Pikachu candies were so high, disregarding that I haven't trained up a Raichu yet, since I've also fed a considerable amount of candies to the Cram-o-matics.
How worth is it to use pot filler? I know the ingredients individual values are really low and that the dishes that get as close to filling your pot as possible are best, is it a a poor use of them overall instead of saving them for another recipe/week? (especially towards the end of the week when you may not care as much about the minimal gains)
Do friend incenses add an additional spawn or just make one of the mons that already spawned hungry?
>>58176054Every mon has different xp necessary to level iirc
>>58177581At least going off Raenonx, the only different ones are Pseudos, the legendaries, and darkrai. Everything else seems the same
>>58177578It only makes one of them hungry. To get additional spawns past 8 you need a GCT or a pokemon incense (both stack for a maximum of 10 spawns).
>>58177431So the formula for meal strength goes like this:>((Required Ingredients * Recipe Level) + Filler Ingredients) * Area BonusFor example, if you're making “Apple Acid” Yogurt-Dressed Salad at level 60, the 28 required apples (base strength 90) can get both a 300% recipe level boost and a 75% area bonus boost, where each apple gets 472.5 strength (or 13,230 total).Any additional filler apples however, will only get the area bonus and only contribute 157.5 strength each.The filler ingredients are useful if you're trying to level up recipes as quickly as possible, and are worth doing if you're always in ingredient surplus.If you're in ingredient deficits though, stick to doing just the required ingredients so you can save up stock for the important Sunday cook-outs.
>>58177793At OGPP, I have two BFS Raichu, and a BFS ABB Gengar that gathers tons of mushrooms.At 75% area bonus, each filler mushroom gives 292.25 extra strength, but each of Raichu's level 62 Grepa Berries gives 226 strength (678 per gathering).Since Raichu's berry gathering is far more consistent than Gengar's mushroom gathering, Raichu overall grants greater strength gains and with greater stability, or total stability if I leave it in sneaky snacking mode.Gengar absolutely has its place though, for weeks where I need mushrooms for strong recipes, for off-weeks where I take it easy and just want to level up recipes, or event weeks where cooking is extra strong (like a 1.5x cooked dish multiplier).
>>58177793>>58177809Yeah ok, thats basically the way I was doing things. I always try to keep a stack of most ingredients for if I need them so my spare inventory is a bit low most of the time. I know some people just pre-collect almost all the ingredients they need for a week to avoid having their ingredient mons in as much as possible.
this game is killing me with the biscuit mechanic...make base stages 4 pips already.
>>58177581You may recruit Pokemon at varying levels, but all of their EXP requirements are standardized per level, except for the ones pointed out here >>58177624I think it's something like:Normal - 1xPseudos - 1.5xLegendaries - 1.75xDarkrai - 2.2xSo EXP down on anything but a regular Pokemon is actually pretty harsh. Harsh enough to make you reconsider any Pseudo or Legendary that has it.On a side note, I think my Darkrai came to me at level 27 or 28, which probably saved me a decent number of candies.
>>58179759It really makes anything more than 10 pips feel so frustrating.
>>58180628It is 100% designed to encourage you to go premium.Premium bonus biscuit + one biscuit at 100 points (10 times a month), versus regular bonus biscuit + two biscuits at 150 points each, with the risk of them getting full on the second feeding.At least Plusle and Minun, the first single stagers to actually be a manageable 10 pips versus 16 pips, only need to be encountered twice if you're playing premium but frugal.Also, this August is somehow the first time I've exhausted the stock of 30 Poké Biscuits + 10 Premium Poké Biscuits from the exchanges. I don't feel like I've gotten anything worthwhile out of it, though.
I can tolerate 1 or 2 daysmaybe 3but 5???
>>58179785Oh I didn’t even realize “pseudo” was a thing. I assume tyranitar is one?
>>58181758Yup, right now the only Pseudos are the Tyranitar and Dragonite lines.For Legendaries, we have Raikou, Entei, Suicune, and Cressalia.And then Darkrai is currently its own category. Unclear if other Mythicals will be treated the same way.
Hope you're using your Candy Bonus wisely. It actually works really well with the change to levels <30, because you use less from that, then you save even more candies by spending a comparatively minimal amount of shards. You can get a freshly caught Pokemon up to level 30 in just a few days, so only 130 candies if you get to start at 15. Especially useful for newly released Pokemon.The annoying part is that you can't use the Fire candies on stages past Torchic, or Water candies on stages past Mudkip. Might be helpful to keep the first stage on hand if you use them, same as the Paldean starters. Conversely, since Fighting and Ground types are so rare, you get to use up any M candies that you got from the Cram-o-matic.
>>58182781if you keep pokemon unevolved, you can also evolve them during a weekly "use X candies" mission to easily use a bunch of candies without using dreamshards
>>58182781Whilst using candy boost at the earliest levels is preferable for being economical with your dream shards, I'm not shy about using them on high level Pokémon if there's a target they need to it, and I'm short on candies for them (like a Dedenne).I don't power up every little thing, and am usually sitting on 1m+ shards. We're due to get a cooking pot upgrade by November though, when new sleep dex goals should be introduced for unlocking Amber Canyon. Current datamined numbers indicate the pot upgrades from 69 to 75 alone will cost 1.25m shards, but these could still be subject to change.
>>58183087Yeah I'll just pump candies for mons that I really want to level to a specific goal, even if they're already pretty high.Just got this big boy to 50 today.
>>58183470Sweet, you should hurry up and subskill seed that Helping Speed S into M too.Other thing I mention to mention about candy boost, is that the 4x dream shard cost in practice is more like a 2x dream shard cost, since you use half as much candy to get an equivalent amount of EXP.
>>58182792That's what I tend to do. Level up something decently before evolution.
>>58183470I forget that Swampert is also meant for Taupe.
>>58181480Chuck them. If they’re not going to play during serious events, I consider them gone
RP barely means anything, but it just seems so weird to see a BFS berry type with RP this low. No doubt it'll jump considerably by level 50.
>>58185535RP is heavily influenced by things like skill level and gold subskills.Nature also plays a factor, I used a neutralising mint on my Rash Gardevoir and it got a significant increase because its skill trigger rate was no longer sabotaged.I wonder if anyone's done a study on what influences RP and in what ways?I seem to recall that inventory (carry limit) is a factor in RP, but that strangely the Good Sleep Ribbons don't seem to increase their RP despite increasing that limit.
>>58185780>>58185535each level of metronome raises rp by 400~
Add another to my level 65's. This one made it with very few candies, mostly because it's been on my team almost every night. Only traded off a couple times with Sylveon on Expert.
>>58186721what are you saving the species candies for?
Here's an interesting graph.Dodrio's recent buff actually made it pretty strong compared to other species and Swampert is a lot stronger naturally than I thought it was. Also 2K ribbon'd Cyndaquil being quite a small powerhouse. Of course this chart also ignores the power gains of the Berry Burst Pokemon (Braviary, Mimikyu, Sceptile), but it paints a decent picture.
>>58187367>2k ribbon sneaky snacking Cyndaquil mogs every non sneaky snacking bfs monIt's not looking good, bros...
noob here, got 4.9k sleep points right now. should i buy the master biscuit with the upcoming dog event?
>>58187849absolutely not, the events typically have an event shop where you can buy biscuits that provide 6 pips for the legendaries. wait to spend your points until we see the shop.
The event spawn bonuses are turning out to be stronger than I had anticipated. I was half-looking for Larvitars when I chose Taupe, but I have yet to see any of the line this week. A couple Haunters, Gulpins, and a Golem are the only non-Fire/Water Pokemon I've seen this week.
>>58187354I'm not really saving them, just very little reason to actually use them. Maybe if I can get a decent Gallade, I could put candies into that, but I'm not exactly in any rush.I should also mention that this Gardevoir is actually EXP down, so it beat out a lot of my other Pokemon despite that.
If you see your name here, you’re skating on thin ice. You better sleep tonight or you’re gone.
bros, I'm still sleeping every night but I feel myself disengaging from this game...
>>58187937>wait to spend your points until we see the shop.well the month is ending soon. i should probably just get the main skill shard this month
>>58189648I don’t sleep, mother fucker, off that jack and bourbon. Doin’ 120 gettin head while I’m swervin
>>58189863If you're that low on points, it'll probably be better to hold off. If the upcoming dog event is like their introduction events, you can look to get about 2, maybe 3 dogs just by using event biscuits. Chances are you won't end up utilizing them too much anyways, just because they each take full teams to be much better than just your best Pokemon for wherever you are. And if you don't have at least 1 of each already, it would probably just feel bad to spend a Master Biscuit on the default 1st roll (which are all the same and generally unremarkable). I've got a bank of points, but I haven't been stocking more than 1 spare Master Biscuit, and I haven't dipped into the Main Skill Seed exchanges either (as a free player).
Didn't realise it was shiny till I wanted to turn it into candy. still the best plusle I have
>>58190999The fact that Pokemon has full control over shiny colors and has even changed previously-existing colors, makes the existence of these single-digit-hue-shift shinies puzzling. To be fair, I think in Sleep they tend to be at least a tiny bit more noticeable, but it's just so weird overall. Doesn't it make extremely good merchandising and marketing sense for your shinies to be at least be distinct if not deliberately appealing?
Where are we all going for the coming week? I'm finely leaving OGPP for the first time in a while to go to Taupe, half as a change of pace and also to look larvitars and croagunks (though possibly ABB luxray is a better choice than croagunk for oil these days)
>>58192093Snowdrop because I hope RNG grants me a good A-Vulpix for my birthday this year. Last year I got lucky with Dratini encounters.
>>58192093im getting my OGPP area bonus up for the dogs event, hoping to catch raikou week 1 and entei week 2
>>58192093Going to taupe, I'll be berry bombing for the first week of the event, so at least I'll use the sneaky snacking to get a high score in taupe.
Surprisingly not many things to catch the past few days, but the event is doing what it said it would do. At the very least, I'm getting a bunch of Fire candies like I intended. Sadly, no hungry Onix/Steelix or Larvitars.
Let’s give it up for 4 weeks of no Sunday crits!!
Exchange refreshes soon. I picked up the last of my Expert Tickets, just in case... Though I think you naturally have enough available each month in order to go there each week if you wanted to.>>58193694Just get a Tasty Chance Pokemon :^)
Even though I need more suicune candy I'm afraid to hunt for its sleep styles in case I get a shiny one.
>>58194457shinies are always hungry and just 1 normal biscuits fill 'em up
bump
>>58192093Might just build up my Expert again since I'm not looking too intently for any specific Pokemon at the moment, just generally for all the types I don't already have. Not to mention I could just use the actual event weeks to try and get Pokemon to catch.
>>58192093Expert again, this week got me>main: flying>sub:ghost/dark
>Fighting / Grass / Rock with salads at Expert>10% expert bonus, 1.25x skill triggers>Kanto Vulpix incense at Master 3This week should go well, just my Lapis team again like my first week. Not prepping a berry bomb for next week.Anyway, here's a look at how using seeds on my Gardevoir nearly doubled its RP.>Starting at RP 2,533: Level 50, main skill level 3, BFS, Skill Trigger S, Helping Speed S, neutrlaised nature>Skill Trigger S -> M: RP 2,682 (+149)>Helping Speed S -> M: RP 2,908 (+226)>E4E Lv 3 -> Lv 4: RP 3,368 (+460)>E4E Lv 4 -> Lv 5: RP 4,004 (+636)>E4E Lv 5 -> Lv 6: RP 4,885 (+881)>Overall +2352 RPInterestingly, even though the E4E energy gains go from 9, to 11, to 15, to 18, the +3 from 15 to 18 had a higher RP gain then the +4 from 11 to 15.I wonder how the RP increases would've been reflected had Helping Speed gotten upgraded before Skill Trigger? Not that I can check that.>>58194204Most calendar months cover at least 5 weeks, but not all have 5 starts of the week.September this time has 5 Mondays though. If you started at zero expert tickets, you could only get the 4 Expert tickets (including the premium one), and be forced to go non-expert at least once this month.Although for the legendary beasts event, the safe play is to use your 75% area bonus at greengrass anyway. Access to all three beasts with guaranteed electric/fire/water berries.
Rough. Apparently I do have a HB+BFS Ekans that I could get to 50 to unlock both, but I'd also need to give it a nature seed to negate its Ingredient ^^ EXP vv. Still waiting on that BFS + Skill Cleffa...
>>58197431no e4e makes for a dire week, i think even just having a e4e berry is enough. i've also got psychic this week
>>58197431The Ekans in question. Forgot I even had this at all, but I suppose I'll boost it up since Arbok will be a Poison staple for quite some time... regardless of how sub-par the species actually is.>>58197441Depending how good your healer is, you can still do well without its favored berry and still keep everything topped up. You probably need a Gardevoir or Pawmot though. I don't think the others can get the activation/speed necessary to really get over the 15% speed bump.
