its gonna be years before I expand my pot, I keep using all my shards during candy boost weeks
800 Pot is going to feed me so good going into next week,
>3.4m shards for the pot upgrades Jesus, do they even allow for new recipes?
>>58429406cute!
>>58429406>Who's That Pokemon?The cries for Gourgeist ("normal and XL") were datamined.>>58431092>do they even allow for new recipes?Inferno Corn Keema Curry and Flower Gift Macarons, but both do not require the final upgrade.No salads. There is a noticeable gap in Salad recipes since Petal Blizzard needs 69 ingredients then the next recipe needs 100.
>>58430034>>58431092yeah i'm dumping a bunch of shards into a "this weeks favourite berry on expert" pokemon, and then regaining a bunch during the week thanks to having reasearch 65i figure doing it monday then saving till next week somewhat pays itself back in improved spawns
i think za made the board a little faster
Do i make the switch from my main birb?braviary is speed up exp down nature
>>58435861i have flying berries this week on expert and i'd love to run both lol. right is still better individually though
>second shiny Riolu in three weeksIs this what the kids call "aurafarming"?
>>58436752no, cause it's not lucario
Honestly not the worst.
Oh yeah, new Darkrai skill level available, up from 13,638.
>>58438649This change apparently puts skill builds over BFS builds for Darkrai.Sneaky Snacking Darkrai is still the safe play though, so it doesn't tank your team's energy.
Idk what to do with this. I know Jolteon is good with BFS but likes speed more. I guess with all these triggers its probably best as an espeon that sometimes fills its inventory with berries?
When’d they change the price on candy?
>>58439507Start of October, they also increased the monthly allowance from 10 to 15.
>>58439131Yeah this would probably be better as one of the evolutions that actually cares about using its ability. Espeon is a good choice and is just generally strong. Sylveon is OK if you don't already have something better like Gardevoir or Pawmot. Vaporeon is also decent for helping fill out your ingredient stockpiles with a lot of ingredients you may not normally have access to.
>>58439131>>58439559With the recent buff to Energizing Cheer S, and the significance of Expert Mode, Leafeon might be much more viable as well if you need a grass healer.
Speaking of energizing cheer, I don't understand why they insist on buffing it so it's "even more likely to not be shit" instead of just straight up making it so it has 100% chance to do it.
>>58440226Because nobody was using it, with most players running an E4E healer on every single island including expert mode.It should be 100% chance to target the lowest energy on your team, though. The random part makes it too unreliable with one helper likely to go tired all day with another helper needlessly over-charged.E4E only covers Fairy, Psychic, Electric, and maybe Normal if you accept the Chansey family despite them not being skill specialists.EC also covers Psychic, Grass, and Water, plus Fire and Fairy outside of skill specialists. However, Slowpoke family is too slow, and the Wobbuffet family is massively outclassed by Gardevoir (and Cresselia), so it's really just Leafeon and maybe Ninetales that are worth a look.
>>58440280Anon your second paragraph is literally what I said in my post, why are you explaining it to me.
>>58440280Ninetales isn't even a skill specialist, so I wouldn't expect it to actually provide much energy to your team... I say as my Ninetales went off like 5 times yesterday. But usually it's 0-1 times.Energizing Cheer can be decent, but I imagine only really for teams that happen to have a lot of Charge Energy users. They're usually strong individually, and do a decent job of keeping themselves at decent levels. Energizing Cheer just evens out and uneven team, whereas E4E often gets "wasted", even if that's not really an issue.
>>58440320You phrased it poorly but it was also just me agreeing with you.
>>58440226>>58440280Not only should they have made it always target the lowest energy helper, they should also have made it heal the user for half of the value every time it is used, kinda like the reverse of Umbreon's skill.This would have solved both the problem of the skill healing less total energy than E4E, and the problem of you getting screwed for the day if the user doesn't target himself early.Seriously, this was yet another buff that doesn't do shit at making the skill not suck. I looked at the gathered post-update data and even with this buff the EC users still heal much less total energy per day when compared to E4E users.Just look at this shit, even after the buff a Leafeon will heal less than 300 total energy per day, while a Wiggly will heal over 400 energy without having to deal with RNG bullshit.
>>58440226feels like they are too afraid of overbuffing, so we only get these tiny improvements
>>58435489will bump this before bed to hopefully keep it alive
>>58440521I don't really think E4E and EC are really meant to fill the same role. E4E is specifically a more stable team-wide solution, whereas EC is big chunks in spikes and valleys. Like maybe in the future we'll get something that uses its own energy for a skill, in which case EC will do a much better job for its recovery.
>>58439559>>58439715My E4E user has been a sylveon since I started, so I don't need that. My vaporeon is mediocre but not something I really need, so I'll probably get an espeon. Only problem is I have like no skill seeds, and I do have a really good golduck already.
>>58440521Does this example consider an expert mode scenario, where grass berries are favorite but fairy/psychic/electric are not?Expert mode is particularly harsh on Wigglytuff, where it's one of the slower helpers. I've had to bench my Wiggly in favour of my faster Pawmot when going to Expert GG.>>58441852You can look at Eeveelutions how they fit into other teams, too.Jolteon, Flareon, Vaporeon, and Espeon synergize with Raikou, Entei, Suicune, and Cresselia teams, and work best with the Helper Boost users when they have BFS.
I've got a 2nd really good pichu after already having a raichu at 65. Should I try to get a second raichu, or make it a really good pikachu if I ever try to make a raikou team?
>>58444002There's plenty of good electric helpers that would work better than Pikachu, like Dedenne, Pawmot, Luxray, Ampharos, Plusle + Minun.Running two BFS Raichu can actually be better than running a Raikou team, at least on a typical week under the current meta. Future main skill level boosts or events where skill triggers are boosted may change that.
>>58442596>Does this example consider an expert mode scenario, where grass berries are favoriteEven with Leafeon getting a speed boost from Grass being the main berry AND Wiggly taking the speed penalty from not being favored, Leafeon STILL heals less than Wiggly (328 vs. ~355). And these calculations are done with Leafeon having the 2k sleep hours ribbon to counter his godawful inventory size too.Leafeon only pulls ahead when on top of Grass being the main berry, you also roll the Expert bonus that increases trigger chance (see the rightmost one).In other words, it takes the stars aligning for Leafeon to outperform the weakest E4E specialist.
>>58444002Unless it's really that much better than your current Raichu, I wouldn't bother. Just save your resources for when you get something else or the level cap gets unlocked again.
>all this Type candy shitting up my inventory...
>>58444002I've been running two Raichu for a really long time now and it's pretty good, they are staples at OGPP and honestly even beat some other mons even at non-favored berry islands.I have a decently good Entei and 4 BFS fire mons, but aside from berry bombing and very specific events like the triple legendary event we had a while back, legendary dog teams are usually not worth running (though one of the things Entei misses is a healer, so if you have a BFS Pawmot it might be a different story).
>>58444500>>58446147>>58447722Maybe I do just work towards two raichus, I do feel a bit pressed for teamspace a lot of the time but I could make a non cooking focused team pretty easily. I'm out of pikachu candy and I probably wouldn't use rare candy on it. so it'll probably be a low priority
Man there isn't enough going on to survive how busy the board is with Z-A.
>>58449660We'll have activity for a few days at the start of the Halloween event, then maybe a week or two when Amber Canyon releases. These threads are on the struggle.
If there's anything I can complain about Expert, is that it absolutely drains any ingredient stockpiles I've built. I used to run Vaporeon on almost every team because it could pretty much give me all the ingredients I needed each day to fill up the pot, even if it wasn't a very advanced recipe. But since I have to run on-type, I can barely even make recipes sometimes. I guess it depends on luck of the draw with the Expert bonus to give you ingredients when your team is lacking.Also I've been thinking about skill types and the potential for current bests to be beaten based purely on species. Whether it's just recruitment costs, or other hoops to jump through like sleep time, candy requirements, evolution items, and/or just plain rarity, the harder a Pokemon is to get to its final evolution, the better it tends to be... pretty simple balancing if we ignore the typical power creep as a mobile game. But right now, there are still Main Skills that don't have 3rd stage Skill-specialist Pokemon attached to them yet:>Charge Energy SUseless>Charge Strength SI doubt anything will really beat Golduck as an outlier. Plus it makes sense just "upgrading" to the M version of the skill>Energizing CheerSlowking is actually already on the stronger side due to its evolution requirements>Dream Shard MagnetI don't know why they valued this skill so highly, but anything that has it gets kneecapped>Ingredient Magnet>Tasty Chance>Ingredient DrawNo "regular" version of this skill exists yet. Honchkrow is almost as tough as it gets, but since it also gets shards, I imagine there's another upper limit to be had
>>58449660>>58449917thread could last on /vm/ but this isn't exactly a multiplayer game
>>58449917well by then the z-a hype will probably have cooled down, so...
Kinda want to use it, but it should really, really want Helping Speed M.
No Sunday crits so far, not with 40% odds on breakfast or 50% odds on lunch.Whatever my odds are for dinner nearer to bedtime, I should still hit 2.5m this time by virtue of my Clodsire Eclair being a minimum 99k strength, and added berries.Expert GG is turning around with that 30% area bonus, I didn't need a GCT for the Master 3 incense this week.It's a good incense too, I got Dedenne this week.
>>58440226What I don't understand is why they reduced the healing from 50 to 44 (12%) as if the skill was somehow going to be broken without that nerf.
This is unfair
>>58452055What about /vmg/ ?
>>58455300Ironically /vmg/ is not for generals. The thread could stay alive, but that board's traffic is so slow that some older threads are over a year old. /vp/ is still the most fitting place despite the tendency to fall off the board during random floods.
>>58454596I think it was just intended more as a functional change than an actual buff, as we all know the amount healed isn't why it's not very useful. I wonder if the new Halloween Pokemon is going to come with a unique version of it.
Huh, I'm actually pretty close to getting a gold skill on Comfey, mostly just due to random hungry hits on my most-visited locations.
>>58440280>with most players running an E4E healer on every single island including expert modeAre there really that many sweaty tryhards trying to minmax a sleep app game?
Expert berries this week are Ground / Fighting / Grass, skills effect, salads. It's weird how often I've gotten Grass and Fighting, but I'm not complaining. 35% area bonus will make this week's Mawile incense a safe bet.>>58458522E4E healers aren't exactly a tryhard strategy.One good Wigglytuff can carry most teams on most islands with a simple understanding of the game's energy system.
>>58458522I think people like you are so funny. A few years ago it was like "nooo I hate those elitists, I play to have fun! Just let me be a casual in peace!"And now the discourse has completely flipped on its head, this weird casual elitism of "ugh you're so cringe and below me. Playing casually is the only acceptable way to play, you loser."
>Put Slowking back on my team to test the "buff">Triggers twice on the same mon overflowing energy, then once on himself>Magnezone under 60 energy doesn't get hit once>Put him back on the benchYep, still shit
Oh shit, time.to strut your stuff, Darkrai! Only put its skill up to 5 for now, just in case I can somehow get Skill Level Up M for its 50 slot; the Expert boost at least bumps it to 6 in practice.
Where are you folks going this week? I'm thinking Taupe Hollow to search for Murkrow
>>58461849Murkrow ain't even on Taupe, bro.
>>58461849OGPP again, still need a long term coffee farmer, or candies for my ABB aggron with IFS, not sure if i want to subseed it yet and move on
>>58461849Expert GG again.I need to push the expert bonus up as high as I can, and I can get a good enough variety of things I still need such as:>Sneasel / Weavile>Delibird>Larvitar family>Treecko family>Mimikyu>Chansey family>Munna>Natu>Alolan Vulpix / Ninetales>Farfetch'd>Onix>Mudkip family>Mawile>Snover / Abomasnow>Rufflet
>>58461849I won't find the mon I'm looking for in ogpp/tundra anyway so I'm just spamming GGEX to build up the area bonus. This week I have Fighting, Normal and Flying so looks like I'm fucked as always (have a lv50 BFS Primeape but it's still pretty damn shit).Honestly I'm pretty close to just giving up and investing into my non-optimal Braviary because fuck me it's been so hard to get a good one.
>>58461849OGPP forever, still looking for a good coffee farmer, a good oil luxray, a mono aron, just a lot really.
>>58464175Speaking of Primeape, I wonder if the Halloween event might give us Annihilape?Seems unlikely, since datamining indicates it's going to be Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist.>>58464271Although you won't find it at OGPP, you should consider Clodsire as your coffee farmer.It'll give you a good Poison option for both expert mode and Amber Canyon, although Vikavolt being Bug type also makes it suitable for AC.
>get bug/poison/fairy>using gardevoir over wigglytuff will still get me more strengthIt's mostly due to the lack of Helping Bonus, but it feels bad for my Wiggly to be pretty much useless and have nothing for Fairy overall.Also annoying that this is my 9th week doing Expert and 7th time to get the ingredients boost.
>>58464750The berries effect seems to be the rarest, since it's the least complicated and most effective.Skills effect is potentially the worst, because who cares if BFS berry farmers or ingredient farmers pull off an extra Charge Strength S. Skill specialists were already specific enough roles that you ignored their berry types in most scenarios, the exceptions being Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Cresselia, Darkrai.Ingredients effect is at least a universally beneficial effect and can help promote your BFS berry farmers, easing dedicated ingredient farmers a little or possibly a lot.This is something I was seriously looking at this week with my Ground / Fighting / Grass berries on Salads.My usual mono-corn Bewear and ABC Victreebel bring me much of what I need for Greengrass Salads, but if I managed to get my BFS ABC Blaziken to 60 it could pitch in a variety of mushrooms, beans, and especially oil to help make more dishes possible at Lapis Lakeside more regularly. As would if I invested in an A/B/B Bewear for sausage farming, but that seems less worthwhile when I've already got an optimal mono-sausage Aggron.
>>58464806Ingredients boost is bad because it relies on your same-type Pokemon having ingredients that help with the dishes you need. I don't care about my Butterfree bringing more Honey if I'm making Curries without a GCT. And even if I did have a GCT, I would still struggle with getting enough Leeks and Eggs due to their types not matching and need to make other dishes, making the extra Honey less meaningful. And if your types do match with the dish you're making (like Fire with Inferno Curry) it still doesn't give any boost to the dish itself and only makes it more consistent, even though you could make the dish nearly as often without the extra ingredients.Berries boost gives a big bonus to berry mons and still gives a nice bonus to the same-type ingredient/skill mons that you would be using anyway when applicable.Skills boost can be the most useless, but can also be great in some situations. Making your E4E mon more reliable, giving your Charge Energy/Energizing Cheer mons more procs to make up for your slower E4E mon, and more Tasty Chance S can all be huge. Then there's also stuff with Charge Strength M, Cooking Power Up, and Berry Burst if you've invested in any of those.
I could have sworn that the person that makes these made an updated version with Farfetch'd, but I guess not. Anyways, Coffee Clodsire is actually awful. I'm pretty sure even with a favorite Poison berry and 15% penalty to speed, Vikavolt would still pull ahead unless you also had +1 ingredients.
>>58464806I don't think the bonuses are really weighted at all. I got ingredients for my first week, skills for the next 3 weeks, and now berries for the past 3 weeks, all in a row. I could actually use an ingredient week for once, because I'm only at about half capacity even after skipping meals here and there. I suppose the favorite types and what you've got available for your team plays into that too.
>>58461849I'm on Expert again, but I'm a little tired of constantly just going there to build up bonus on non-event weeks. My shard gains seem to be OK and there is always something that I could throw biscuits into, but I don't see as many single-stagers or get a whole lot of Pokemon candies from my sleep research. Ironically I need a much better team for OGPP and need a lot of styles/Pokemon that spawn there, but going there feels even worse most of the time. I'll probably be heading back there for the Halloween week at the very least.
This is all i'm doingThe favourited one is bfs at 75
>>58467474Why? Just a head start on the next island?
>>58468531pretty much. i have a caterpie I can level and use, but it's exp down. so I may as well, while raising expert bonus, try and get a really good one. helping bonus and bfs before 50 is my goal
Thanks to the +3 points and a hungry encounter, I got another Eureka seed today.Unfortunately, Energy Recovery Bonus.+3 friendship points just for encountering it is a welcome change though.
>>58469672RIPThe 20 candies just for seeing it wasn't bad, but you still need to capture them to actually make your Darkrai worth using at all, so I welcome any effort to making catching things easier. It could take a LONG time to roll good skills though, depending on your luck.I've got to decide whether my next seed should go towards a level 50 skill, or see if I should unlock the level 60 ingredient slot. Still have to see if it's possible to skip the level 30 slot, but I assume it is just because you can already choose for the regular subskill slots.
fug
Finally got my 3rd Darkrai seed. Let's see what I get /zzz/.
>>58470871Helping Bonus, not bad for the first skill slot.
>>58470888Forgot my image. Had to feed him some candies to unlock some slots.
>>58470907Skill Level Up S. Ehh, at least I don't have to use a Gold Skill seed if I want another skill upgrade. Makes me wonder if I upgrade this there's another chance of getting of getting SLUS.
>>58470928And more sausage. He might make a good sausage farmer for Snowdrop or a Dark Berry Pro GG. Darkrai was able to get any ingredient, correct?
Eh? Someone on my list already found one. Technically there in the game, but that's not a normal stage background...
>>58470963Walrein and Weavile can provide sausages in a berry farmer capacity.Darkrai can't gather everything, it can gather Sausages, Apples, Herbs, Milk, Honey, Beans, Corn, and Coffee.>>58470966That's just the night-time background, it means they had a late evening sleep session.Pumpkaboo family appears at Greengrass + Expert, and Old Gold Power Plant. It's possible that an event may override that to make it available in more plaecs.They come in different sizes, I'd like to see if this factors into their base helping stats for frequency, ingredient rates, etc.They're an ingredient specialists with a brand new ingredient Plump Pumpkins, which has a base power of 250! Due to this, their B and C ingredient slots can deliver massive quantities, with x18 beans on the third slot!
>>58470966>>58471088They're not even supposed to be available yet.>Appearing Beginning>Oct. 27, 2025, at 4:00 a.m.>Characteristics>Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist each have four different forms. Each form has different helping stats.>It seems larger forms have a higher carry limit, while smaller forms help more quickly.
>>58471414I'm imagining that the smaller ones will be better overall due to BFS, but the bigger ones will actually get you ingredients. Having such high value/quantity ingredients means that the default size should be incredibly low chance, potentially around the 10% range like some of the newer berry types.
Thank you mr intern for my pumpkinLook at the carry limit and potato numbers though
>>58471414>>58470966I found two last night. Maybe they accidentally released it early.
Didn't know we'd get a new Pokémon yesterday, was busy all day and exhausted when I reached my bed. Was surprised to find this bean queen
Important event info bits:>To commemorate this event, new recipes using a new ingredient, Plump Pumpkin, will be added! One new Dessert/Drink recipe and one new Curry recipe will be added on October 27, 2025, at 4:00 a.m.I guess we'll get the recipes then, at least.>• Greengrass Isle and Greengrass Isle (Expert)Unexpected, but these events usually get special decorations that don't have to be custom fit for all islands.My Ghost Pokemon aren't that great, but it'll probably be worth going to Expert anyways. I remember in a previous post that Expert bonuses are weighted against special event bonuses, meaning there should be a better chance for 2.4x berry power as the odd one out.
hmm that's not too bad, is it?>>58473783also saw 1
>>58474351>speed of help downehhhhhhhhhhhhhh
>>58471414It's a hidden event, they forced Pumpkaboo spawns on all islands ignoring your sleep type.I had snoozing sleep, whereas Pumpkaboo is dozing. From research group, I saw someone get Pumpkaboo at Lapis Lakeside. >>58472740It seems that you'd prefer mono-pumpkins on the smaller Pumpkaboo, whilst the larger ones would prefer the ABB or ABC spreads due to the insane ingredient counts.I got a large modest ABA Pumpkaboo this morning, but it's first two subskills are both inventory up. I'll just run it long enough to unlock the new Plump Pumpkin ingredient.Also, good to know all those linking cords will have more use now.
>>58471414>>58473783I reckon they released it earlier for New moon, I had like 5 of the fuckers spawn in the morning for me. Of course only rolled one mono and all 4 had shitty skills, hopefully they'll appear tonight too. Considering how good the new recipes look, it looks worth hunting while its common. Gotta get me a good happiny too with one of them needing eggs really badly.
>>58474387nothing a mint can't fix :^)
Whats up with the slakoth line? i just got a shiny kinda usefull one, do i leave it at second stage?
>>58475321Yeah, it performs better as a Vigoroth, and gets the helping speed bonuses from Good Night ribbons.Slaking gets a large boost to its skill trigger and ingredient finding rates to compensate for its reducing helping frequency, but it doesn't have ingredient specialist quantities or skill specialist mechanics, and berry strength scales with level, so Slaking is a downgrade.
>>58474423I'm at Snowdrop this week and also found two Pumpkaboo, so I think they decided to go ahead and give everyone an early chance at catching one due to the new moon.
>>58476027It's also fortunate that it's only a 5 pip encounter, making it a really viable chase.Premium players are almost guaranteed to be able to befriend their first Pumpkaboo, but non-premium might get unlucky.
>>58475321It depends what it's skills are. Speed + BFS it's better to leave as Vigoroth, but if you have Skill Trigger and such, you can evolve into Slaking to have a unique all-rounder Pokemon. Vigoroth with a 2k sleep hour ribbon on it becomes the best Normal type berry farmer and Slaking becomes almost on par with Vaporeon or Her across in terms of skill activations.
Seems like the early Pumpkaboo was deliberate rather than an accident.I think I'll wait until the math autists compute which sizes are the best before going hard on capturing it.
>>58476642I don’t see how an event labelled as dummy can be seen as not an accident, unless like all their events are named that way
>>58476642Huh, turns out that the difference between the forms is way smaller than I thought. But the difference is so small that it makes the whole size gimmick kinda pointless.I guess I will go with the bigger ones so that sleeping with them is actually worth it due to higher inventory size.Also worth noting that to balance the new ingredient's high power, Gourgeist has by far the lowest ing rate across all ing specialists (13% for all forms, Gengar has 16.10% for comparison). And even among all mons in the game there are only 3 or 4 lines that have a worse ing rate.
>>58476958It was an unannounced surprise event, and they must be fully aware of how certain details are datamined and shared on sites like Raenonx and Serebii ahead of the event launch.It's how we know about things like the missions available for specific event weeks, before the event starts, as well as the exact parameter changes for Pokémon availability etc.I'm not sure why those parameters would be data-mineable though, since surely things like sleep research encounters would be done entirely server-side when you complete a sleep session or sync sleep data?
Gourgeist is just generally a bit slow with a low ingredient rate, similar to Clodsire (which is pretty bad). If you go for any of the higher quantity ingredients, then you might want some more space just for QOL so you don't have to check every other gather. Sleep ribbons would probably alleviate that a bit, but ~30 inventory is probably more than enough due to the low ingredient rate. So the most practical sets probably include XL with BFS or small with Inventory L.
Meh.Also XL Gourgeist is only faster than Slaking, so I don't think I'd recommend that size if at all possible.
Fuck, seems this night didn't get any pumpkaboo spawns. Got a shiny mareep I guess though??
>>58477996Luckily, the new pumpkin recipes don't actually require too many pumpkins.For me personally, the stew should be easy to make once I get a good Pumpkaboo, but the pancakes using tomatoes is a pain-point since I still don't have a good tomato farmer.It's also weird seeing pancakes served with a side of tomato slices, but they had to figure out some way to make tomatoes relevant for desserts weeks.
this ballon is about to be a nuke with the +5 skill boost next week
>>58479729Bonus skill levels don't exceed the current caps though.It's also only +3 and 1.25x skill trigger rate.
Think I'll spend next week at Greengrass and reroll for Curries to level up the new dish more with the high area bonus. Seems like the best way to take advantage of the event bonuses without just hoping to get good spawns for the double/triple candy.
>>58479888Spawns are going to be ghost focused anyway, and OGPP is ghost focused.I'm going there since I've got a really, really strong OGPP team plus a good Gengar for it.I can live without making the new pumpkin dishes for a little while if I have to.
>>58480363The Halloween event isn't even available on OGPP though. It's Greengrass or Expert Greengrass only.Guess I should try to decide whether or not it's worth going regular or Expert to maximize spawns and potential candies.

>>58480882Also Avocado being added as a new ingredient, likely available on at least 2/3 of the new Pokemon, potentially Pumpkin too. Odd that there's no Snoozing Pokemon, but they didn't balance out the types properly.
>TWO new ingredientsOh boy, can't wait for my ingredient bag management to get even more fucked.
Doesn't look like we're going to get high ATK Trapinch meme unless somehow they have the line shift from Berry to Ingredient once it evolves into Vibrava or something.>>58481314You just got 100 extra slots and are about to be using more ingredients per meal with pot expansions though.
>>58481951The Trapinch family all being slumbering and not dozing is a strong albeit not definite indication that they're all ground types.Nearly all Pokémon of a certain type adhere to a specific sleep style, the exceptions are some of the launch Pokémon (e.g. Psyduck and Slowpoke are not slumbering), and baby Pokémon which are typically always slumbering.Them being Taupe Hollow spawns where ground type berries are favorite, is stronger evidence they'll be ground types, and I'd hazard they'll probably be the ground type skill specialists that Sleep doesn't yet have.
>>58480738Oh my bad, yeah I was confusing Pumpkaboo family being available at OGPP. I will probably go to expert GG myself since I need to get the expert bonus up, and I should have a decent time with a 40% bonus with guaranteed ghost berries even if that's just my Gengar and a Skeledirge. I'll probably GCT to be safe.
>>58482293i'd guess ground turning into dragon. doesn't make that much sense to release an entire non dragon line with amber canyon, but you never know
>>58482429That's why it's also featuring at Taupe Hollow.Dragon types were doing fine as-is, it's ground types that were really struggling for relevance before Swampert dropped.Trapinch family doesn't change sleep type, and Dragons have all been Dozing so far.I can imagine Bagon line being a flavor of Berry Burst skill specialists, but we'll see. Dragon types also lack a skill specialist right now.
>>58480882>Flygon line is all GroundWelp>>58482293>>58482429It says they're all ground in the news update
>>58480882Going live on a Thursday afternoon is definitely an inspired choice.Unless I'm having a not good time, I'll probably just wait go there the first full week to get mileage out of the Good Camp Ticket from the bundle weeks ago.
>>58483165>It says they're all ground in the news updateoh for once i'm the guy who couldn't read
>>58483819Same, I just outright assumed they didn't share their types because they never have done so in news before, iirc.
>>58479255Not to go full /ck/ here but the only reason I'm buying it is that tomato and pumpkin can be surprisingly compatible together. Pumpkin puree is generally easy to digest for sensitive stomachs and adds a natural sweetness that can offset the tartness and acidity of tomatoes, which is why I've been using a pumpkin based sauce recipe for spaghetti for the past few years.In the context of this though, it does seem more like a savory plate overall which makes it particularly unique as a Desserts. The tomato I could kind of buy when squinting at the idea of an "egg and pancake" platter, but most would probably pair a veggie omelette with toast or the tomato would instead be Bean Sausage-based bacon/links which seems more out of place in the Dessert category. The part I'm actually the most puzzled by is am I supposed to believe that mound in the corner to be eggs drizzled in honey? That seems a bit weird to me.
Salamence is 99% your pseudo strong Ingredient type that's fast, with Charge Energy.Crustle, I imagine being another Ingredient type, probably slower, but balances its low berry power by gathering the new ingredients at a decent rate.Flygon is a bit of a toss up. I doubt it'll be another berry type since we just got Swampert. I guess it could be another ingredient type, as OGPP did 3 ingredient types too.>>58483454Same thing happened with Lapis and OGPP. Don't know why they pick such strange timings, but no matter what you do for a global release, it'll basically always require a travel ticket to avoid any regional favoritism. At least this time around, your 5% area bonus overflow won't be wasted, since all of your other areas should be maxed already... of course you have to be on a standard island instead of Expert since they're separate bonuses.
>another hungry proc good unanswered I swear there must be some strange weighting towards 2nd stage Pokemon.
>>58487269Does seem like it sometimes.
I think I will hold back on going to the new island for a few weeks unless there is an event. Instead I'll have the overflow bonus from other islands transfer to it.
Thought about just skipping out on this mission, but might as well just get the extra 20 candies for an eventual Flygon. This is my only Ground type...>>58488550You mainly miss out on Crustle and Salamence, as Flygon is also available on Taupe. No telling what the rest of the spawns are like on AC though. It probably has a really nice pool.
I've cleared a lot of inactive people. Add me please have like 12 spots left. Player name is sifav and all my friends are from here so might have to look elsewhere 9500-6088-7647
This game disappoints me so muchIt's been so hard to catch a single Grubbin that has coffee AAX at the very least and at least one subskill for ing finding, and that it does not have a negative natureI'm at friendship level 45 or something, none of them have been decent, total absolute trashThis isn't Pokemon go where you can just get more PokeBallsI've even tried a shit berry team with only one member having BFS this week on OGPP and somehow they produce as much strength as a full ingredients team that can cook the best dish on every mealI want to quit to be honest
>>58490831your own post shows how good bfs is, why are you still trying to limit your potential good grubbins to specific ingredient combinations instead of just using one with bfs and some helping speedwould love to see a collage of every grubbin you've caught though
>>58490902The problem is that only one of the members has BFS, and it's a gengar, who is not even a berry monIf it were a good berry team with all minmaxing bullshit, sure
Holy shit look at this massive baloon I just caught. Immediately invested into it, I really like Drifblim and it just got buffed too.
>>58488550Unfortunately I wouldn't expect that to work.Amber Canyon's unlock requirement is 450 sleep styles, which means there's at least one more new goal being added, though historically it's usually two goals.New goals means +5% area bonus cap and +6 maximum cooking pot size per goal reached, and some reward items.Basically the new maximum area bonus will probably be either 80% or 85%, depending.With 6 maps below maximum, assuming you get one map to the new maximum, the other maps can only receive 1% overflow bonus each.If you were to avoid Amber Canyon for as long as possible, you'd need to visit the other 5 maps once or twice each in order to start giving it full undivided overflow bonus. That'll take 5 or 10 weeks.>>58490831The game can be unpredictably cruel or kind.I've had excellent Grubbin and Pawmot, but cannot get a good Treecko, Mudkip, Farfetch'd, Snover, etc.I expect the Pumpkaboo grind to be especially painful for finding a viable mono-pumpkin farmer. The upcoming Amber Canyon helpers will probably gather pumpkins too, but probably not on slot A.
>>58491940I feel you. I got an excellent far-fetch on my second try and it was shiny on top of it. Same thing with Pawmot, maxed skill triggers, shiny, helping boost. Finding a potato, tomato and coffee pokemon has been a pain though. 30 Bellsprouts, 10 grubbins, 30+ sprigatitos. Not to mention the endless berry farmers I don't have. In like 40 on cyndaquil and have not seen bfs once
>>58491620noice
>>58490831I very much doubt a berry team without BFS can actually outdo a cooking team at this point. Unless your cooking team is just that bad.
I’m gonna do non expert greengrass this week solely so I don’t have to hear the expert mode music, am I crazy
They really haven't given us any gifts for a long time...>>58494893It's probably going to be event music next week though.
Oh when did they do this for the rest of the skills? Previously you could only look at specialized skills, but it seems you can look at effect of every level of every skill.
