>>58732187do i use this or a rly good wigglytuff? raenonx says its decent enough
>say I should start reserving biscuits>see something worth recruiting>immediately exchange for Poke biscuits
>>58732589yes?
>>58732589fugg :DDDD
>>58732710It's OK, but it could stand to be better. If it had a skill or speed nature, I'd say go for it, but right now you already need to use a Subskill Seed for it to be decent. Due to skill types also needing Main Skill Seeds, my standards tend to be higher than the other specialists.
>>58732822yesh i guess youre right... i also already dumped all my seeds into wigglytuffpause
Nothing stops a knee jerk invest like comparing an ok aab trapinch with an aaa rash helping speed M ingredient finder M inventory L trapinch on neroli's lab
>>58733359I never really compare my Pokemon to the absolute best. All that matters is that it meets my minimums... which end up being a step or two off the best.

>>58734062Mine are about the same.>IngredientsWorkable ingredient spread + IFM + IFS or ingredient nature or BFS>SkillSTM + STS or skill nature + another beneficial skill (Skill Level, Helping Speed). Alternatively, BFS + HSM or speed nature if it's fast enough.>BerryBFS + no accessible Ingredient boosts by 50
55% area bonus at GGEX, Steel/Psychic/Ghost berries, skills effect.This week has mostly just been my BFS Gardevoir and Gengar doing their thing, and a mixture of ingredient farmers that have let me cook a lot of the stronger curries like Inferno Corn Keema Curry, Ninja Curry, and Role Play Pumpkaboo Stew.I haven't been running any berry specialists, but I'm just shy of 2M strength after Saturday lunch.I should have everything I need to cook up a Hidden Power Perk-Up Stew, a Cut Sukiyaki Curry, and my first Overgrow Avocado Gratin; Sunday dishes too big for my unboosted pot.Next week is another gap-week before the holiday event, I hope my GGEX berry rolls are better, but I did get a decent Munna this morning that if I needed, I could candy boost up as my first psychic berry specialist. It's got Dream Shard Bonus / BFS / Inventory Up L with Impish nature (energy up ingredients down), and ABC ingredient spread.My other ABC BFS Munna ironically had the maximum possible ingredient finding spread by 50, with Rash nature.
So the event doesn't start until Christmas week right?
>>58735853Should I be focusing on trying to get ice pokemon or should i just get that ggex bonus up?
>>58735853Event starts 22nd, so next week (15th) is a normal week.>>58735861Ice or steel type, but I think you'll probably have a better time just raising GGEX bonus and hoping that your 3rd berry is a good roll. Use a GCT regardless, with double dream shards it should be lucrative.
that 41 milk for the gratin is insane, my aab meowscarada does well for it but damn
>>58735861Luckily, I think you can get all the Ice and Steel Pokemon on Expert. Just make sure you leave an Expert ticket for the event.
>>58736068My AAB Blastoise does a great job for milk, but I also have an ABB Meowscarada that should eventually be my best milk farmer.
another slow day in a slow week. Nothing to really show for the week except a shiny growlither
I'm doing pretty well for not having cooked anything all week. Just shy of 2 mil, leaving 500k for M3.
soon...
>>58738355Keep at it anon, Old Gold Power Plant is coffee hunting grounds.
Sylveon? Vaporeon?
>>58739463Just wait they're both very skill seed dependent and neither of these has a max skill trigger rate
>>58739923But this is number 64 I wanna be dooone
Stomp stomp stomp
>>58739463>>58739923Max trigger isn't necessary, but you want at least 2 sources of skill bonus, whether that's STM + STS or skill up nature. STM is good, but by itself tends to not be all that much, even with speed. Also while Helping Bonus is good too, you actually want skill Pokemon to have more selfish skill sets. So Helping Bonus is really just a bonus skill since skill slots are so limited.
Would it at least be a good overnight double proccer with the inv up?
Add me please!1035-0068-9783
>>58740917I mean, it'll be OK, probably better as a Sylveon than a Vaporeon. It'll just be a bit inconsistent due to lacking activations. Sylveon is just a little bit above Wigglytuff and a step below Pawmot & Gardevoir in terms of effectiveness.
Off to GGex
Ey, got my crit and managed M3 for my incense. Basically only got to cook on the first and last day due to lack of any proper ingredients.
Considered going to Snowdrop just for a better chance at Snovers and A.Vulpixes, but that wouldn't really help my odds since I still have to secure Slumbering in any case. May as well just repeat Expert again for a 5% boost. All the nice stuff on Expert isn't very kind on my biscuit exchange stock though.
GGEX this week is Steel / Water / Poison with skills effect and salads, 60% expert bonus.My BFS Suicune team with HB Vaporeon and BFS Blastoise getting extra skill procs, plus BFS Feraligatr, is gonna do well this week. Gardevoir is gonna lag though, compared to how well it did last week under similar conditions with favorite Psychic berries.For mandatory Steel and Poison sleeping missions, I have my Aggron and Toxicroak to farm sausages and oil, which isn't so bad.Not a single GGEX visit or reroll has had electric berries yet, I really fucking want that to happen already so my Raichu / Pawmot / Dedenne team can shine, and I might actually invest in my BFS Raikou by minting its hindering nature and giving it full candy boost next week. I want to use 3,500 boosted candies if possible, I've got a lot of stuff that could use it, and I've managed to save up 1,200,000 dream shards since upgrading to 78 cooking pot space. It's enough to upgrade to 81, but this is not the right time.>>58742610I have an Alolan Vulpix incense I should probably use, just for the encounter. I've discovered all their sleep styles.I got a Mudkip this morning, but useless spread. The BFS Swampert hunt continues, but it's only been 14 befriended.
>>58742680I got super lucky. Electric, poison and flying berries. Means I can bring out my best team since I've been parking at ogp for most of the year. I have nothing for ice and steel though so next week I might just do regular gg instead of expert
Really wish I had at least picked up a Doduo by now. Braviary would have been really nice too, before I spent most of my skill seeds on Darkrai. I have a pair or Meganiums I've been using, but my Gengar doesn't have BFS and my BFS Banette is literally just BFS with a shitload of inventory. Just have to continue hoping I'll get something good this week or any week.
>>58743977Did you transfer out?
>>58744743There's no point in changing islands. Whenever I pick Expert, I know what the consequences of a bad roll are, so I just don't pick I actually care about getting a decent score for that week.
Is it worth powering a swalot for the shards next week?
>>58745570Unless you've already got a good one and were planning on using it anyways, Dream Shard Magnet mons are more an end game thing. High investment costs that take months of continued use to pay off, but can give you a lot extra to work with on dead weeks. A single boosted week isn't going to do much for you. Not to mention using a Dream Shard Magnet mon sacrifices power, so you have to be sure that what you're getting from the skill outweighs any power you'd lose in your daily research (though that's not hard if you actually have a good roll with a maxed skill).
>>58745036Expert tickets have finite supply each month, and re-rolls are costly since you need both an E-Zzz travel ticket and an expert ticket to do so.For a non-event week, I wouldn't reroll and just take it on chin so I can earn that expert bonus.Next week though, I may consider it if my third berry is completely unworkable.Since I carried over 2 expert tickets from last month, and have used 3 already, I currently have 2 held and 1 left in stock (including the premium exchange).There's only two Mondays left in December, so that affords me one reroll for next week, a second reroll would mean minimising expert bonus gains for December (and also January, really).January only has four Mondays, so you can go Expert the whole month.Can't remember what the exact available stock of Expert tickets is though, and web searching is failing me right now. I think it was 3 regular, 1 premium?
>finally give up and invest in a mid aab trapinch, evolve twice>literally get an ingredient up, ingredient finder M, helping bonus AAA trapinch the next nightthis fucking game
Adding everyone, just purged half my friend list due to inactivity: 7327-8357-5472
>>58746413>>58746413Upside is you can run both if you need to stockpile shitloads of avocados?It's better than when I invested in a "good enough" Igglybuff, and then two months later the game hands me a literal perfect Igglybuff as an early Christmas gift. I've sadly no reason to run my first Wiggly, ever, and that's after multiple main skill seed investments.Side note, my Gardevoir has triggered one single time since I went to GGEX on Monday. What the fuck.
>>58746891Is it not a preferred berry? The penalty really screws up non preferred berry pokemon
username: bounsweetid: 2222-4420-3299need 8 slots filled, sleep every night
I'm still not full either1667-2773-5965
>>58747518Yeah, I rolled Steel / Water / Poison this week, so I didn't get any of the E4E options like Fairy, Psychic, or Electric.I got Psychic last week, as well as 1.25x skill rate, so I was running Gardevoir and she was proccing like crazy.I kept her on my team going into this week and it's been dire, 2 procs across 2 days. I'll be switching her out for Wigglytuff tomorrow since Gardevoir is technically my 3rd place healer (Pawmot is 1st), but Wiggly has HB that stacks with the Vaporeon I'm running.
Xmas event bundles. Doesn't look like any great deal really going on. Also I guess Cetoddle evolves via Ice Stone. I never played Scarlet/Violet, so I have have no clue.
>>58748297New pokemon bundles are usually pretty ass because it's mostly about the incense
>>58748297Last year's for comparison
>>58748540That looks pretty bad too
Could have been good...
>>58750029i dont see much point in cooking powerup in the late game. if you dont have the pot size for your meal, cook something smaller and use the 3rd slot for berries or charge strength. maybe if youre trying to level a meal without a gct they can be useful. ive got 2 decent options but mostly use the first one as a steel berry farmer
8608-8656-6023
>>58750149Being able to cook the most powerful dishes more regularly sounds good, but for the complexity of both stockpiling the ingredients and also having enough power ups, is probably outdone by Dedenne's Extra Tasty chance and just making more of your regular dishes double strength.So, it pans out better to stockpile for a Sunday cook, and maximise those tasty chances.This is also considering that extra ingredients only linearly add strength (times area bonus), they don't get the recipe level bonus that the required ingredients do. That means in the majority of cases, just running a good berry farmer is far more effective.Cooking Power Up S on Salamence or Meowscarada on the other hand? It's a nice bonus that can help if your ingredient gathering is exceeding your baseline usage.
I've tried to add every fc posted here she last thread and I'm already friends with every single one of you
>>58750149I meant more if it had BFS, which I'm looking for over skill triggers. Extra pot size is nice depending on your team's ingredient output, since there have been times when I have the correct ingredients for some more advanced recipes instead of the stock standard. I happened to get a max skill trigger Minun, which could double as an energy backup if I actually wanted to use it (in conjunction with another Plus/Minus).
>>58750149It's nice for when you need that one proc to cook the newest dish out
While the goodnight ribbon bonuses are nice for NFE pokemon, I hope they revisit the idea and boost the bonuses a little. The difference between goodnight bonus vibrava and flygon is still pretty stark. Make us pay the 80 candies or whatever.
>>58751722Pretty sure the idea of the ribbons wasn't really to make NFEs viable, but to just make them less shitty if that's your favorite Pokemon and you refuse to evolve it. Maybe they could add like... 1 skill level as a bonus at 2,000, but I don't see them adding much else.As far as NFE bonuses go, they also don't want to put players in the position where evolving a Pokemon with a 2k ribbon ends up worse than it was before. Vigoroth and Onix are unique since they're functionally different than their evolutions, but Chansey was an oversight that they specifically had to note.
>>58747629Oh hey! I've had you on my list forever, you're great. -Orneryboy
>get a shiny of the new release pokemon >it's shitEvery time. No exceptions.
>>58752289I never get new shinies
>>58752289Well at least you got +1 to friendship. Worse is when you've already put a lot of biscuits into a Pokemon in previous encounters and then it shows up as a shiny.
>tfw hungry sneasel shows up and I get 12 pips>tfw he doesn't have bfs
Dead thread
>>58754604Guess that's to be expected. There's very little "active" gameplay and progression is glacial, so unless you managed to pick up a good roll, there's not much else to talk about. You could theorize which species will be introduced next or come up with new skill mechanics, but that only goes so far.Speaking of future additions, here are the current counts >>58730631
ok the app thinks im asleep, what do i do now
>>58754972Go to bed. Don't play with your phone, sleep the night until your alarm goes off.If you're tracking sleep with your phone, just keep it face down on your bed, not under a pillow, screen brightness lowest, plugged in charging.The phone measures movement using motion sensors, so don't put it on a bedstand or any hard surface. It will invalidate your sleep session if it doesn't detect any motion after several hours, but it's very forgiving with that.If the app gets closed by your phone's OS overnight, you may need to change a power management setting that can't happen.
>>58753523I got a BFS sneasel but it's ingredient up exp down with all three inventory skills and an ingredient finder
>>58755207Ironically probably still worth using.You can let it go into sneaky snacking mode, and stockpile ingredients that are useful for Sunday.Or avoid doing that for slightly better chances of getting Tasty Chance S procs.
>Arbok with Helping speed M and BFS>Modest
>>58755589Is arbok the best poison berry provider?
>>58755589Just use a mint.>>58756155It's the only one. All poison Pokemon kinda suck ass at gathering in the first place, so it'll be a surprise if/when we see one that's actually fast enough to use BFS well.
Revabroom when
I don't need anymore damn potatoes!
>>58756325>Just use a mint.Use one of only two mints, on a fucking Arbok? There are better uses.
Ended up making the vaporeon cuz I’ve had skill seeds sitting around. Successfully double prof’s each night so far but probably won’t use it outside of overnight for that purpose, which I guess is okay.
>>58758684Similar to the one I've got, great for filling the pot, but annoying for trying to cook a specific meal since it only gathers 8 of one kind of ingredient on any given proc.Nothing more frustrating than when it gathers things that your active team is already gathering.I don't think my ingredient magnet users have gathered more than 8 ginger this entire week, and that's an important one for salads weeks.
>>58758677You can only hold 2 though, and we'll get more next anniversary if not sooner.
>>58758743Mine gets me enough avocados for one meal
Finally a useful vigoroth, might try and boost it next week if I can afford it.
