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, a single Poké Biscuit will auto-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, everything else is up to what's convenient for you.
>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 any progress from when you last saw them.
>How do dream clusters work?
The higher your research rank, the more shards you get. You may want to hold onto them as long as possible.

Is this holiday 3k bundle good enough? Been sitting on 3k gems for a while.
>>
>>58767080
>>58748297
>Holiday Bundle L (3,000 Diamonds)
>• Ultra Biscuit x3
>• Great Biscuit x12
>• Luck Incense x4
>• Main Skill Seed x1
>• Togedemaru Incense x3
>• Spheal (Holiday) Incense x2

It's decent, but I'd rather hang onto my diamonds since they're so slow to gather. And don't forget that you'll also need the item space to store those 25x items.
Mainly what you're looking for in bundles are skill seeds and other similarly rare items or exceptional exchanges for biscuits. While this one does have a Main Skill Seed and biscuits, a lot of "value" tends to get mixed up mostly with Pokemon incenses. Alternatively, if you only need seeds, you can now exchange for Main Skill Seeds directly in the shop for 800 diamonds at a limit of 1 per month.

The best value bundles tend to be around the game's anniversary. In fact this past anniversary had a nice L bundle if you had the diamonds:

>• Ultra Biscuit ×4
>• Great Biscuit ×7
>• Main Skill Seed ×1

>Ice / Steel / Grass with 2.4x berries and desserts
Fantastic roll, I put on a GCT last night, with 65% expert bonus this is going to be a smooth week, with a Sneasel incense reward too!
Only downside is I'm required to sleep with my Aggron for 20 hours if I want the steel candy S, and mono-sausages is pure filler on desserts weeks.
Pawmot is on for E4E since it has cacao and eggs, I'll be alternating Blastoise / Venusaur / Vikavolt to make as many Clodsire Éclairs as possible.

I already boosted 500 candies and I'm down 800k shards to about 450k, I can't afford to keep doing that, but it gave a big boost to my Walrein and Meganium for this week, and got my Salamence over level 50.
I'll have some lower level stuff I can justify candy boosting, probably. I got a surprisingly good HB ABC Cramorant, which is ideal for Petal Blizzard Layered Salads.

i've got 1 gct, do i use it now?

Ideal time is just before starting sleep tracking on Sunday, it lets you get 8 sleeps worth of bonuses as long as your final sleep session starts just before the GCT expires.
This is a good week to use a GCT thanks to the double dream shard bonus, you should even consider using a legendary incense plus a luck incense together for a huge payout.

There's also the two week long New Year's event that starts next week.
Week one has 1.5x candy rewards from your first sleep session.
Week two has 1.5x dream shard rewards from all sleep sessions.
Both weeks feature boosted spawns for Pokémon introduced in 2025, with Trapinch, Bagon, and Dwebble also being temporarily available at Greengrass again.

Across the three weeks, this might be the best week to use a GCT if you just want dream shards, but next week may be best if you want more chances at new Pokémon. The available Pokémon each week differ though, so check the news to see which week is most interesting to you.

hmm, i did decimate my dream shards to finally get the water stone. but week two might be better for balanced gains with 1.5x dreamshards but better spawns. especially because this week on GG will be shit as i have 0 ice or steel mons and i didn't activate the GCT on sunday

>>
>>58767454
Don't forget the new years event also has the event currency shop returning, which having a GCT on will get you an extra spawns worth of coins to clear out the shop with. If you can afford to, a GCT for the next 3 weeks is insane value
>>
Honestly not the worst for me since my Golem is OK. Just a little light on Ice and Steel, though I still have enough to fill out a team. Also got Salads, which is OK with my setup.

>>58767617
Any commonly recurring bundle isn't going to give you a great deal on biscuits. If you just need extra Poke Biscuits, I think next week's comes with 5x for 250 diamonds, which is about the best deal you'll get. But Great and Ultra biscuits tend to be the best value, so usually it's L bundles like this one that technically give you the most. It really depends on how you use your biscuits though, because high value ones can be gobbled up really quick if you aren't conservative.
>>
>Glaceon keeps popping off with +4 skill levels since Ice is also my main berry on Expert
4x since I put it in... guess I can cook whatever I want all week.
>>
>>58767893
Rock type is among the types people are usually least prepared for.
Sudowoodo isn't that interesting to run compared to Golduck or Ampharos, Golem is just okay, and Onix is unreasonably rare but is also split between that and Steelix.

>>58768691
Just remember that you don't have to fill the pot the whole way, the benefit is pretty minimal since filler ingredients only linearly adds the base ingredient strength without recipe level bonus (though area bonus and extra tasty multipliers still apply).

I'm running GCT this week so I don't have cooking restrictions, but since it's a desserts week and stuff like Walrein and Aggron are going to bring lots of sausages, they're all going straight into filler anyway.

It looks like you can't really make accurate comparisons yet, mostly because raenon defaults to engaging current event bonuses in all calculations. Here are the raw stats and me just making comparisons based on the numbers.
Cetitan seems like it's more or less a side grade for potatoes, doubt you'd want sausages, but gets access to pumpkins. A decent BFS user since it parallels Meowscarda so closely.
Holiday Spheal is basically a budget Dedenne that probably isn't worth any investment. And since it can't evolve, it doesn't benefit from ribbons. Though with all of the type bonuses during this particular event, you could slot it into your team with very few investments.
>>
>>58770682
Cetitan being yet another potato farmer, but one that needs an evolution item, is a huge disappointment.
I mean, Meowscarada exists for potato farming on Snowdrop, and has Darkrai synergy.

Togedemaru is also a skill specialist, but I'm not convinced on its main skill of "energizing cheer but occasionally lets someone else get an extra skill trigger". That's only beneficial when the rest of the team has strong main skills, not a level 3 Charge Strength S on a berry farmer.
>>
Either the shiny odds for the week are slightly boosted or I got lucky as I had a shiny holiday Eevee and shiny Cetoddle this morning.

Cetoddle was also my first shiny in the playthrough of Violet that I never finished so it's almost like it came back to me.

>>58771199
It's fine for leveling the new releases like Gorgeist, Flygon, and Salamence but I wouldn't use it on stuff over level 50.
>>
>>58772740
Honestly I'd be wary of using the boost on anything above 30. It's only 25% more than the regular boost, but that still adds up.
>>
>>58773794
The mini candy boost you see throughout the year, it works out that 4x dream shard cost works out to an effective 2x dream shard cost to hit the same target level for a Pokémon.
Though of course, that's not what you'll be doing if you want to use every last candy you've got available.

I've been holding onto a lot of dream shard clusters to try to maximise their value for eventual endgame, but I'm tempted to use a few since I'm holding probably too many for 1000 item space. I have more handy candy than I'm able to meaningfully use otherwise.

I spent a lot of shards boosting a BFS Munna from 15 to 42 today, and I still have Munna candy to spare (accounting for evolution cost). It's for the sake of having a BFS Psychic type when I roll psychic berries at expert GG, and maybe an eventual Cresselia team if I get one worth investing in.
>>
>>58769976
it won't help if you have a job.
>>
>>58775130
Why not?
>>
>>58774187
I've been getting so many handy candies from events, Expert mode, and overflow EXP that I'd prefer to hold onto as many shards as I can over conserving candies except for some of the rarer species. I've got 1.6m loose shards, but I've still got the last 1.2m pot expansion to consider eventually.
>>
Managed to hit master 1 on GGEX by Wednesday night before bed, rolled desserts and dark berry. Ttar and meowscarada have been pulling their weight bringing in milk and ginger for eclairs and zing zap respectively. My steelix and walrein have been helping to make rotations easier with how many times they proc their high level ingredient magnet
>>
I took it easy and did normal GG for christmas. I don't care about the new pokemon and have a lot planned for the holidays, so it's nice to just AFK my team of A!ninetales and not worry about it.
Is the dream gift different this year? I could've sworn it was multiple things, not just shards and a main skill seed.

Walrein is pretty insane during this event if you have one. Increased Oil drops in particular and boosts to its skill are huge. A.Ninetales would also probably be pretty big too.

I forgot about Togedemaru.
6 activations is pretty low for a battery, so you'd have to think of it more supplemental. Its skill is probably pretty strong so long as your team actually has skills that it wants to hit, but it's random and the bonus itself apparently depends on its target's skill rate. It is pretty fast for a Steel type, so it makes good use out of BFS. It gets Milk/Avocado/Cacao, which aren't great with those small quantities, but is a nice bonus I guess.
>>
>>58779144
The big thing would depend on how likely it is to trigger the target's skill each time. It could be nice in Expert to help trigger your healer or other skill mons when they're penalized, but if it's inconsistent it probably won't be worth investing in with a 16 friendship point requirement.
>>
>>58779144
Long term I don't see Togedemaru being a viable investment, unless you can get a super-perfect team composition where every main skill matters.
Over at OGPP, you're more than likely going to run a full electric team due to the relative ease of getting Raichu and Pawmot, compared to Steelix and Mimikyu.

This is with all the current event bonuses on top, but it still gives you an idea of where Togedemaru stands among Steel types. Its overall power is mostly from getting berries (output roughly equivalent to non-BFS Steelix), but it also benefits pretty well from any Expert weekly bonus. Also I don't believe the bonus effect is affected by its own skill level, so I'm pretty sure you could run an uninvested one, given the right sub skills.
>>
Finally managed my first Mawile and honestly it's not awful. And Holiday Spheal takes another "close, but no cigar".
Forgot to mention last night was a 3x shard bonus, but we're getting another one for the final day of the event, so it might be a good idea to pair a legendary incense with a shard incense if you've got them. I managed almost 90k without a shard incense and I wasn't even at Master on Expert yet, so you could go well over 200k shards on Sunday.
>>
>>58779801
Why did you give everything BFS? Mawile is slow and doesn't have much inventory to make good use of it. Aggron's ingredient rate is so high so you won't get a lot of berries and would rather have more ingredient or inventory boosts. Magnezone cares more about skill triggers since they give more strength than the extra berries, and would also prefer having more effective inventory for overnight/long term skill procs.
>>
>>58780513
Even the best ingredient farmers only pick up ingredients half of the time, meaning the rest is a single berry. May as well double the power of your "misses" to get something out of it. And then when your Pokemon inevitably fills up overnight, they're actually doing something through sneaky snacking. Plus, during the entire rest of the day, BFS is just a bonus because you're going to empty their inventories before they fill up.

Basically the only type of Pokemon that wouldn't want BFS is an E4E battery that needs morning procs to carry it through the rest of the day.
>>
>>58780875
Sure, BFS can help ingredient mons contribute more power overall, but you'd be better off getting more ingredients in a shorter time and then swapping them out with a berry mon that can bring you more gains. You shouldn't be using ingredient mons overnight to begin with, and even then I would rather wake up to more ingredients than an extra 2k or so in berries because if I wanted berries I would just use a berry mon. Most of my best ingredient mons are lacking BFS, and the ones that do have it are unsurprisingly not as good at ingredient farming. The extra berries are definitely still valuable, but BFS is mostly just a bonus to have an already good Pokemon.
Even if it is good to have BFS on them, using it in comparisons doesn't make sense. AAA is already just a 1/9 in chance, adding on the chances of BFS and good subskills/nature are too low to make BFS a priority at all. BFS usually wouldn't make an ingredient mon worse, but it wouldn't be enough to improve it like Ingredient Finder M would and isn't even the best gold subskill either.
>>
>>58781455
Counterpoint to this, ingredient specialists with high inventory counts are actually really effective at farming ingredients while not wasting too many drops. I have a few of mine with inventory L, and after 9 hours of sleep they've maybe consumed 5-10 berries max, sometimes not even sneaky snacking at all!
>>
>>58781455
BFS doesn't affect their gathering rate until they're full though, so it's pure bonus aside from overnight where you can't check your Pokemon at all. But overnight, you might only lose a handful of ingredients in place of the extra berry, which will be traded for several thousand power just during the night, plus many more thousands over the day. And I don't know about you, but I don't have enough berry Pokemon to satisfy every type in Expert mode, and there are barely enough for certain set islands.

It's not often where a Pokemon will dump 20x ingredients back-to-back, then swap out to another Pokemon that will do the same for another ingredient. Any swap tends to be at a minimum of 6 hours, during which time even a high ingredient rate gatherer may produce strings of single berries. BFS mitigates the inherent inconsistency of gathering with very little downside. The practical difference of Inventory Up L vs BFS is really maybe like 3 hours of ingredient-enabled gathering vs doubled berry power.
>>
>>58781956
BFS makes their inventories full significantly faster, which can be an issue if you don't always check the app super often. BFS would give more berry strength in those situations, but so would running a berry mon instead. You're also valuing an ingredient mon's berries very highly, especially considering they won't usually be the favorite berries. A single ingredient used in a high-strength recipe at a high level is far more powerful. Using Aggron as an example, a Belue Berry is worth 142 at level 60, while a Bean Sausage used in Sukiyaki Curry or Defiant Salad at level 60 is worth 502. Considering that Aggron can drop 2, 5 or 7 of those Sausage at once, I would much rather do what I could do maximize that. And that's with one of the strongest berries, weakest ingredients, and not factoring in the chance of a crit to double or triple the ingredient's value. If you're able to gather enough ingredients faster, then you would have more time to use Dedenne to increase the chances of getting those crits. And if your Dedenne had BFS instead of more speed or skill triggers, then you would just be getting a few thousand more in berry strength instead of the 200k crits.
Anyway, the main issue was that you were using BFS when comparing different Pokemon as if it was a requirement or guarantee. It's best to compare with either the bare minimum that you would accept to invest in, or the absolute peak. BFS is none of those things, in addition to being rare and affecting Pokemon differently due to their helping speeds and ingredient rates. There's also the issue of Mawile and Togedemaru being at the same level as the other 3, which is unlikely to happen due to the rarity of them/their candy and should be accounted for when making a comparison.
>>
>>58782135
The main point in comparing these BFS sets is because they are the theoretical strongest output, not what's "realistic" because all the rolls are so heavily RNG anyways. And comparing a single unfavored berry vs an ingredient component doesn't make any sense either, because you can't just use a single sausage and outside of those necessary for certain high level/multiplier recipes, that sausage is worth exactly its base value. And it's not like you don't cook while you have BFS, you just might get at most, a dozen fewer ingredients compared to non-BFS and Inventory L. With Expert, you need as many on-type farmers as possible that you'll keep in your team all day.

Rock is in even more of a dire need for a new representative. The last new rock type mon added was onix.

>>58784098
It feels more likely that we'd get Rockruff first, and they'd have to deal with the whole Dusk Form evolution too.

A factor into what Pokémon gets added, is whether or not they can give it interesting sleep styles.
Gigalith for example, could probably have some glowing gem stones for its 3 star sleep, and its 1 star sleep would probably be "sturdy sleep" like many other things already.
>>
Trying to decide on this charizard. He looks pretty good with a seed investment, but is it worth just hunting for an aggron? From what I've checked the difference is quite minimal but still in Aggron's favour.
>>
>>58784238
I was looking through the rock types too, and most of the options are honestly a bit lacking. You have your generic 3-stage rock mons, plus your pick-one fossil mons in every generation. Outside of that, there are a handful that use it as a sub-type, and fewer that are actually stand alone rock types.

Rockruff is a pretty good choice, and they can easily implement its evolutions aking to Espeon and Umbreon, though how meaningfully different they could be remains to be seen. Rhyhorn is another good option, but I don't know how much they want to keep pulling from gen 1. And annoyingly, most remaining choices are single-stagers.

>>58784457
It looks OK, but I'd hesitate to use seeds unless something is near-perfect or just really hard to get, like single-stagers or legendaries. There's also the possibility of it having to eat 2 seeds, since it's random and can hit Skill Trigger. Charmander is common enough that you can just keep rerolling without much sweat off your back. As far as Charizard vs Aggron goes, eventually you'd want both. The upside of Charizard is that it's fast and can make better use of BFS, but Aggron has access to some nice secondary ingredients.
>>
Going to have to decide where to go next week, because the 2-week event starts then. And I've run out of Expert tickets, so that's one less choice for me for the first week at least.
>>
>>58785082
Since the main goal should be to earn as many Dream Coins as possible, if you can't go to Expert Green Grass, I'd go to the island you can make the most progress at. For me personally that would be Old Gold Power Plant since I have a very strong OGPP team.

Alternatively, you pick an island with the most attractive spawns.
Greengrass (+ expert) has the widest pool for week 1, followed by Amber Canyon.
Snowdrop Tundra has one of the weakest pools, whilst Cyan Beach has a focused pool of attractive finds (Farfetch'd, Chansey family, Treecko family, Mudkip family, Rufflet family). By comparison, Amber Canyon also has the Paldean Wooper and Munna families, and Mawile, and swaps Treecko for Torchic.
>>
What's the verdict on that 5k shop bundle?
>>
>>58785191
Depending on your ability to get higher tiers on Expert, it may actually be better to go to a normal island. Aside from just reaching 8 spawns ASAP on Expert, the coin bonuses only kick in for higher rarity sleep styles:
1* = same
2* = +1 coin
3* = +2 coins
4* = +2 coins
I could mainly use a Swampert and Sceptile, so it might look like Cyan for me.

Week 2, I'm definitely going to Amber Canyon though. Bagon, Dwebble, and Trapinch are all absent from Expert that week, plus every other featured Pokemon is actually available on Amber anyways.

In terms of biscuits, it is double the latest Holiday Bundle L while also including a Sub Skill Seed. Compared to the "best" offer in the previous Anniversary Bundle L, you're paying 2,000 more diamonds for 4x Ultra Biscuits + 18x Great Biscuits.

Yes tonight is where you'd get the theoretical biggest payout, moreso if you use a legendary incense AND you have a shot at 3 star legendary sleep.
Just make sure to get 100 sleep score if possible.

I don't have a shot at 3 star legendary sleep, I hit master 10 at expert GG but the requirements start from Master 14 for Raikou. So I'll hold onto my incense for another time.

Getting to 8 spawns on GGEX quickly really is a crapshoot, though the number of 2 to 3 star encounters may generally be better once you hit Master 3+?
My expert bonus will be 70% next week, and it's in my interest to keep going there until I hit 85% and I can stop going for a while until I have a very good event-driven reason to go there.

Anyway, Raenonx already has details of what rewards we can get from the Dream Exchange next and the following week.

>Week 1
10x Poké Biscuit - 20 coins each
5x Great Biscuit - 60 coins each
3x Friend Incense - 45 coins each
10x Handy Candy S - 12 coins each
5x Dream Cluster S - 10 coins each
1x Main Skill Seed - 300 coins
10x Ingredient Ticket S - 15 coins each
999x Treecko Candy - 5 coins each
999x Torchic Candy - 5 coins each
999x Mudkip Candy - 5 coins each
>Week 2 new stock
5x Poké Biscuit - 15 coins each
5x Handy Candy S - 10 coins each

The main goal should be the Main Skill Seed, then Biscuits.
You'll need 275 coins for every Poké Biscuit, +300 if you want the Great Biscuits.

Handy Candy are also good, but as of lately I'm not burning through them like I used to due to rising dream shard costs and frequent mini-candy boost events.

Also, there are 370 Dream Coins you can earn from each week's missions. The missions are identical, and require hitting Master 1, giving out 15 biscuits, using 7 incenses, and sticking to bedtime 3 times.
Hope you've got a shitload of recovery incense to burn off, if you're short on Pokémon incense for 1.5x candies (week 1) or 1.5x dream shards (week 2).

200 days into my quest for a shiny female ralts.

Still no luck so far. 8 shiny pokemon altogether, and I have managed to pick up a Ralts Bronze badge, so at least there's been some progress.

I also saw a gardevoir for the first time the other day, threw a master ball at it, and it ended up being a male with bad stats.
>>
Always just short of getting my Slaking.

>>58786912
Enough to evolve it twice too? If you're in dire need of Avocados, the minimum level to evolve it into a Flygon is probably good enough. Flygon's ingredient rate isn't fantastic though, so I don't think solely IFM is enough for a full investment.

>>58787092
Definitely very usable if you're in the market for an Ingredient Magnet Pokemon.
>>
Hit 5.2m / Master 11 at Expert GG, a new PB.
That's thanks to strong berry rolls, boosting my Walrein, and getting the 2.4x berry strength bonus, on 65% expert bonus.

It needed a helper whistle to push that last bit of strength before bed time, but it was worth it for the achievement that gives 2 Handy Candy M.

I doubt I'll beat that record next week of the following week, but we'll see.

When I was checking sunday's pokemon and seeing how many dream shards I was getting I was thinking to myself "holy shit this feels like christmas", then I remembered it WAS christmas!!
Absolutely blessed day
>>
Barely edged into M6 on Expert this week with 45% bonus despite a decent team and strong salads for every meal. I suppose I was missing a lot of real berry farmers, but I did have several BFS substitutes. Got some OK rolls this week, but nothing really worth investing in. Managed to see all the new Pokemon too, but a lot of my spawns were muddled by all the hatmons.

Also put on a shard incense, plus Minun, because I'm nowhere near the threshold to get a 3* dog. I guess I should have set a 16-pip single stager instead since they're worth more, but oh well. It's just one of the incenses that I'm OK with passing on feeding.

It chooses a random pokemon and gives it energy. If it crits they get a skill activation too.

>Ground / Fire / Bug, desserts, 2.4x berry strength

First time I ever got fire berries, now my Entei team can shine.
Although making desserts is going to be difficult with a fire team, I do have a BFS Pinsir I can bring in for honey, my BFS Vikavolt for coffee, a BFS Butterfree for added berries, and bring in my Blastoise for milk or BFS Bewear for corn.

I have GCT going for two weeks and my ingredient bag is still feeling light from last week, I probably won't be cooking with a full pot throughout the week even with Entei's helper boost.
>>
Always these great type rolls on the wrong type Pokemon...

>>58789453
Yes, 75 is literally unobtainable at the moment and even when it does unlock, that's thousands of candies and at least a couple million shards to get there.

this is something that they really have to fix
exp curve is just way too exponential
we need so many different pokemon and they keep introducing new ones to dilute the pool, not to mention it's already hard enough to "farm" some spawns, especially the rare ones
pray that a sneasel appears and it needs a billion biscuits just to be a shit subskill mon without BFS
then because it is rare enough, there's not enough candy to level it up to at least 30 or something

Went to Tundra this week, will probably be spending the entirety of the event here, also used a GCT. If I still don't have a good Murkrow after this I don't know what I'll do, I've been chasing one ever since it dropped but all the ones I've caught have been meh at best.

~220k with an extra Pokemon incense. Pretty disappointing since there were a lot of regular 1* Pokemon that didn't add much to the total. It did tell me that Expert wouldn't be a good idea for coins though. Even though you can get bonuses for 2*+ styles on Expert, just doing well on a regular island should give you more than enough evolved Pokemon and advanced styles to break any potential difference. Maybe if you consistently go far beyond capping out regular islands and are just stupidly strong on Expert, you might see a difference late in the week.

Got 203k (44k research EXP converted), reached Master 11 at GGEX.
I didn't use a luck incense since I decided against using a legendary incense, since I didn't have a shot at 3 star sleep.
I got a ton of 3 star sleep encounters though.

Reading replies though, it looks like I actually got a very big payout despite not using a luck incense or legendary incense.

>>58789996
I let them get skill procs and ingredients, since they can make a difference in being able to prepare certain recipes.
A charge strength S proc is technically a higher strength contribution than three berries, too.

>>58790140
Nothing mediocre about that one.
>>
>>58789996
I basically always pick up what they're gathering except if my ingredients are constantly pushing against my limit. In most cases, the extra ingredients are helpful as recipe components if not just pure pot filler.

>>58790140
In this case, the EXP down is more offensive than the Ingredient Finder, but at least it has speed up and you've skipped having to get it an evolution stone.
>>
>Boosted skill trigger rate

>>58791567
I dunno man, my Entei procced 5 times and my Pawmot wasn't struggling to proc despite the expert penalty.

>>58789908
I don't really think you'll ever be intended to go straight from capture to 75. If anything, they might adjust the candy to EXP ratio while maintaining shard use, like they did for up to level 30. Still, your most limiting factor is going to end up being Dream Shards, because you can get plenty of Handy Candy from weekly missions, events, level overflows, etc.
That reminds me. Cram-o-matic is due back next week, so you'll be able to recycle lots of useless candies into hopefully something less useless.
>>
I'm somewhat tempted to get a makeshift Marshtomp going, just for the sake of running any ground type, at all. I've got nothing for ground and it's my primary favorite berry this week.
12 Mudkip in and no BFS, but Skill Level Up M and HB at 50, with EXP boosted nature.
>>
>>58791964
I don't want to go from capture to 75
but there's gotta be something better than earning at most 100 exp (without bonuses) each night, while still requiring a ton for each level
it's like more than a year of a single mon going from 30 to 60, assuming you get 100 exp each night

Day 2 of my maxed out Pawmot not triggering until mid day. No morning triggers. Had to bring on Gardevoir to get him back to max
>>
>>58793208
My Pawmot started with momentum this week and has carried through so far.

I'm also wondering if Helper Boost has an effect on "pity procs" since each helping that a skill specialist produces without a skill trigger, successively increases the odds of readying one.
>>
>>58792063
It does take about 1,000 candies to go from 15 to 50, even with EXP up. Seems like a rather hefty investment for a temporary addition.

>>58792319
I mean, I think that's why they've reduced Handy Candy costs and increased stocks. It's still a long process, but that's why there are other ways to get more EXP. Because realistically, progression doesn't go that far past the level 60 ingredient unlock.
>>
>>58794244
I think at most I'll probably just evolve it to Marshtomp, maybe take it to level 30 at best, and just let it gather a few berries and occasionally get skill procs for this week, and future ground weeks where I need to sleep with something on the team.

It's not just that they made Handy Candy more affordable, they also increased the EXP value of candies used up to level 25, and 25 to 30.
Each candy (before natures and events) gives 35 EXP up to level 25, 30 EXP between levels 26-30, and then 25 EXP for level 30 onwards.

A future update may possibly adjust the candy value again, making it easier to get Pokémon to level 50.

Aside from that, they also introduced Expert Mode, that has guaranteed weekly missions for generous Handy / Type Candy rewards, and increased candy rewards from sleep research.
I used a bunch of Bug Type Candy S earlier to help boost my BFS Pinsir to 50, since I had a need for bug berries and honey this week.
>>
25 Bellsprouts and counting
>>
It's a new year, and a new month, so be sure to exchange your Sleep Points before the stock refreshes.
>>
I pretty much only empty out my Poke Biscuit stocks and that tends to happen naturally over the course of the month just catching random shit. I wonder how low I'd be below my current 24k sleep points if I had access to the premium shop. Skill seeds and extra biscuits would be nice, but there aren't really any other expenses besides Expert tickets.
>>
>>58796838
Did you do your 2 week premium trial yet? If you activate it near the end of the month, you can get access to two stocks of seeds and handy candy M, plus the cheaper biscuits, the great biscuits, and the extra expert ticket.

Earlier on I was putting more points into handy candy, but lately I get every biscuit that I can since I'm still hunting for important things like a good tomato farmer, egg farmer, dark berries, anything ground, etc.

Crucially, the premium bonus biscuit makes it far easier to befriend 5-pip Pokémon, since it's 4 pips plus one biscuit, instead of 3 pips plus two biscuits and a chance they get full after two feedings.
That and having a flat +100 sleep points per day is also really nice.
>>
FInally got a decent treecko with BFS and HSM in first 3 skills, no trigger buffs at all though. Guess I'll probably keep hunting

1.25x cooking really isn't all that much, so unless you're already close to hitting M20 regularly, it won't make much of a difference. I'm definitely going to Amber to get the boosted spawns. But ironically almost everything there next week is boosted, so you're not really getting much of a boost? It's still the best choice so long as you can actually do well on that island.

Not only that, but with the Good Sleep Day event we have 1.5x DP on the 2nd and 4th, and 2x DP on the 3rd, so this is a great series of days to use your best incenses.
I've got three Sneasel incense and an Onix incense that I'm going to use to try for the missing 3 star sleep styles I'm missing, and try to befriend good new helpers.

t. no dedenne
>>
>>58798259
A theoretical skill-maxed Swampert loses out to a Dedenne with a single Skill Trigger M, and it cannot double skill bank as it's not a skill specialist.

On the other hand, Swampert has type diversity (ground vs electric), requires fewer main skill seeds if you're serious about it, and still produces more strength overall before cooking.

Other Tasty Chance S options include Cramorant and Sneasel/Weavile, once again not skill specialists.
Holiday Spheal on the other hand, IS a skill specialist, but cannot evolve, though is the 2nd best Tasty Chance S user despite that.

>Getting to 8 spawns on GGEX quickly really is a crapshoot

And it still is, but fire berries with an Entei team and boosted skill triggers, got me to Master 3 by Thursday lunch this week.
Have even managed to cook up 3 or 4 Clodsire Éclairs somehow, the first of which crit for a strong early boost.

I've earned 420 dream coins so far this event, plenty for biscuits and that main skill seed.
>>
Spawns aren't particularly good on Cyan since I'm getting a lot of 2nd stages, but the 1.5x candy boost is proving helpful. I'll definitely have more than enough candies to boost a Treecko or Mudkip up provided I can get one worth training.
>>
>>58800182
Yeah I've noticed that too. Finding more marshtomp then I'd like.
>>
>>58800593
I'm on GGEX and the Hoenn starter spawns are very strong, and strongly match your measured sleep stype.
I got 812m DP last night and lots of Mudkip, though the Sneasel incense I used only got 1 star sleep.
Hopefully tonight's Sneasel incense gets me 3 star sleep, since Good Sleep Day is supposed to boost undiscovered sleep styles.

The Sneasel was BFS at the very least, but that's the only thing going for her, probably not worth investing an evolution item into.

About the dream coin exchange. Will there be different items next week? Will the current items be available next week?
>>
>>58801559
Yes to both.
Each time there's a two-week exchange event like this, the second week features an additional supply of some items at a discount, as well as additional missions to earn more exchange currency.

What the missions and items are is usually data mined the week before the event, since it's just a definitions file that can be extracted from a client side update (this is often what those random small updates when you start the app are).

>>58787309 Has details on next week, the missions are identical to this week.
>>
>>58801559
The way multi-week shops work is that any additional stocks are just added on top of your current shop as separate entries. So you don't really lose any opportunities because the stock doesn't actually refresh.
>>
I have about 500 coins now, so minus the 105 we got from the apology, it has worked out to about 100 per day, even if it does ramp up over the week. With the new year's and good sleep bonuses, the average might give you all the coins you need for the "essentials" all in the one week.
>>
>>58803247
That does of course hinge on your ability to strengthen your snorlax, and how much Drowsy Power you get, and ultimately just how lucky you get with sleep research.

Since this week has four consecutive days of high DP boosts, it may potentially have better earnings than next week, subject to how much this week's skill trigger bonus performs against next week's cooking bonus.

Actually, I neglected to account for the weekly missions, which so far have provided about 100 extra coins, so my average is more like 60-80 depending on community research gains.

Does Sceptile prefer skill trigger or speed subskills to go with BFS? Unsure if I'm happy enough with BFS and HSM or if I should keep looking
>>
>>58805559
Ideally you want all 3: BFS, HSM and STM. But at the same time, skill triggers are just a bit weaker than speed. Although a full trigger is about 50 berries, Sceptile is so damn fast and its base trigger rate is so low that a full skill set is only about 1-1.5x extra activations.
>>
>>58805929
So with only BFS and HSM, i should consider waiting for one with more?
>>
>>58805968
Since you're also supposed to be putting Main Skill seeds into it, I think I'd want at least a beneficial nature. Realistically you're not going to hit the trifecta + nature, so 3/4 is a very safe investment (prioritizing speed). BFS is mandatory, however.
>>
I just want a damn AAA Farfetched -_-

>>58806241
I got one first week it was out, with only one ing or speed up at 50. Feels like a never ever kinda mon.

Disappointingly few hungry Pokemon this week so far. Though in my case, they would probably proc on some random evolved Pokemon rather than first and single-stagers.

>>58806241
For whatever reason, I feel like Leeks are super common out of my Ingredient Magnet triggers. Luckily there are also a lot of non-ingredient Pokemon that gather it at 60, which can help fill in gaps pretty nicely. At least my Gardevoir does- enough to make Ninja salads and curries on a pretty regular basis.

All of these mother fuckers...

I've caught surprisingly very few Pokemon this week despite the boosted spawns. It's really worked out more for candies than anything, so I hope next week fares better. If I could have gone to Expert, there might have been more capturable stuff due to the point sponges, but I'd undoubtedly end up with fewer coins.

I'm missing proper farmers for so many types of ingredients. I 've played since launch and basically only have solid providers for Apples, Sausage, Milk, Potatoes, Herbs, Cacao, and surprisingly Corn. I have OK sources for Beans and Eggs, but it's really hard to get any of the other specific ingredients outside of chance Ingredient Magnet procs. Still looking for a good Larvitar, hopefully with AAB or even ABA to get consistent Ginger and Beans.

Which starters do we think is getting avocados and pumpkins? I'd love to have Serperior be halfway decent.
Not related, but damn these new captchas are ass.
>>
Are the spawns for tomorrow the same as this week? Trying to decide what team to leave for the night
>>
>>58808664
I liked that each set of starters were basically the same thing except different types. Paldea differed, but still had the same sort of gimmick- ingredient specialists that swapped types upon evolution. But then Sinnoh decided to go all wonky with Sceptile, regardless of the functional similarities.
If we're still following patterns, the next set of starters should be Ingredient specialists unless they decided to mix it up. I imagine Avocados and Pumpkins lean more towards Grass or Fire, but ingredients are honestly all pretty random.


>>58808875
Features spawns are completely different, because it features the Pokemon introduced in the latter half of the year. This previous week was for the former half. I think everything featured is actually available on Amber, unless you can't do very well on that island. All the other islands have pretty sparse pickings except for GG. Even Expert doesn't have Bagon, Dwebble, or Trapinch.
>>
>>58809085
Thanks looks like I'll be going to amber then.

Dang, thought I would naturally be able to reach M20 on Cyan, but I'm about 400k short. True, I was using a Suicune with a level 1 skill, but I still don't think it activated enough to make up the difference if I bothered to give it the seeds in the first place. Also I was throwing away a lot of ingredients running Vaporeon and Blastoise, but it was still my best option to run a Water team. Still on the lookout for a good Cleffa, Doduo, or Rufflet.
>>

>>58809841
It's between Amber and gg. No reason to go to anywhere else unless you have one specific pokemon you're hunting.
>>
>>58810218
I was mistaken in thinking that Trapinch, Bagon, and Dwebble would be appearing at Expert Greengrass, but it's literally only regular Greengrass.
Turns out that this was also the case during the Amber Canyon debut event back in November.

I'll tough it out though, I need to get my expert bonus up, and it's currently at 75%.

I rolled Poison / Fighting / Ghost with boosted skills and curries, but my ingredient gathering is absolutely fucked after two weeks of desserts and I'm struggling to cook anything.
>>
>>58809841
I'd say it's preeeetty good with a subskill seed.

Here are some comparisons against the trifecta vs more realistic rolls.
I realized that the comparison I made last time was also using the event boosts, so the skill values are actually 25% lower. >>58805929
>>
Huh. Not bad... But not jumping out of my seat to level up this thing.

Also I should have just waited until this week to use any incenses, since missions from both weeks are separate and active. I think I'm just going to pass on the second week's incense mission since I don't really have that many extra Recovery Incenses to keep doing this.

Also since the skill's power is supplemented by a new stockable item, I imagine its base energy healing will be considerably lower; I'm guessing 2/3 of the standard E4E. I imagine it'll be worse overall, but functionally might work with less "overflow" if it's used in a team with Charge Energy mons (like Dragonite).

because it makes the berry juice which you can stock up to 5 of, its possible its good to use when you'd use a dreamshard mon at the end of a week when you don't have any desire to push snorlax level.
Also curious how the stored item works, like, does a skill level 1 berry juice give less than a maxed level one? Surely they're either all identical or would they have a different inventory slot each?

>Lets you bank 5x energy recharge items (20 energy each, mini-energy pillows)
>First main skill that generates items (discounting Pokémon candies)
The caveat is that the main skill is potentially less effective than regular E4E, we'll see when it launches.
Main skills that generate items is an extremely interesting change, though, imagine one that can get a single helper to generate a number of helpings like a helper whistle, or one that has an ingredient magnet effect but for a specific helper.

Each berry juice is just a flat +20 energy when used, but the fact you can bank up to 5 of them is nice.
Improved skill levels might let you bank them faster, but the exciting thing is that you can use these items on Pokémon in storage/

The strategy when you're running Shuckle is that whenever you're holding 5 berry juice, is that you should use one to make room for another, by over-charging boxed Pokémon you use frequently; especially those you swap in but don't sleep with, like ingredient farmers, or E4E healers that need to stay over-charged.
Will also be great for Dedenne on Sundays.
Holding onto 4+ berry juice also gives opportunities to fix energy shortfalls, when you have an unlucky day and your E4E healer isn't doing their job.

For Super Skill Week 3, if you want Shuckle it looks like Cyan Beach and Taupe Hollow are your best bets, especially if you have strong Suicune or Entei teams.
Amber Canyon I would only pick if you have raised your area bonus particularly high, but for me it's 75% versus 15%
OGPP has extremely attractive spawns like Mimikyu, Dedenne, Treecko, and Pawmi, but it doesn't have Shuckle.
Greengrass + Expert has those same attractive spawns plus Ralts, Rufflet, Heracross, but many more so the pool is annoyingly wide if you want Shuckle specifically.

I'll go to the beach just for Treecko spawns.

I'd say it's pretty good for a single-stage roll.
You'll have to use 2 Sub Skill Seeds, but you only lose 1 activation off a "best" BFS set. Honchkrow is capable of a pretty good skill set though, so it depends what you want to use it for and how long you're willing to wait. A full skill set is virtually impossible, so you're mainly just missing a good nature.

What's the current ingredient bag capacity? Google says 700 which is wrong since I'm already over that
>>
>>58817429
800, they raised it a bit ago
>>
>>58797732
I'm back, thanks to those who stuck around. I have about 7 slots open

Man I love desserts, I've got great mons for ecclairs when pot boosted, and macarons when its not now I upgraded my pot.
Honestly if I get a good oil mon, life would be pretty perfect in cooking land.

I saw your message 2 days ago right after I deleted you. Whoops!
Resent invite.

Wonder what I'll exchange for with my excess coins... Incense is technically the highest value/rarest, but shards are always good. Handy Candy are OK too. I use ingredient tickets every once in a while, but they're definitely the lowest value.
>>
>>58819194
Imo
biscuits>incense>clusters>handy candy

I don't see the value in ingredients unless you're trying to do a berry burst and need to feed yourself for the week and the pokemon candy is pointless unless you have 5 coins leftover at the end of the event
>>
Finally got my first Bagon so far this week.
And my cramming results haven't had many crits, but at least they've mostly been for useful types.
I also feel like I've been getting fewer coins from Community Research (only ~10/day with level 5 friends), but it's nice not having to worry about getting more exchange materials since the first week provided so many.
>>
I wish my recipes leveled up the same amount regardless of the island bonus. It feels like I’m missing out on a ton of points for them going to amber canyon when my bonus is so low.
>>
>>58820308
Think of it this way: If it were a static increase, then that would probably also make leveling recipes a lot slower. Instead of it relying on cooked power and benefiting from huge boosts on big recipes with crits, you'd probably have to make the recipe dozens of times per level at higher levels.
>>
>>58819975
I think as long as you complete the missions you should have enough to buy the important stuff. I have 80 coins left with 120 to collect from the missions and the only things left to buy are the ingredient tickets, the handy candy, dream clusters and the starter candy
>>
Apparently saw my first sneasel today after seeing half a dozen weaviles. Instantly discouraged by the number of pips
>>
>>58822786
Weavile encounters are actually a bit better for capture. Despite the +1 to skill level you get from evolution, that skill level is literally only +1%. And Weavile is only 20 pips to capture vs Sneasel's 16 pips, which also lets you skip exchanging for a Razor Claw, which you'd need to evolve it.

Wow. It's almost like she's shiny!

Earned 70k and 80k dream shards the past couple of nights, although I have been getting lucky with GCT and incense spawns

Excited to see what tonight and tomorrow bring in with luck incenses.
>>
What have you been cramming? Initially I was using Quaxly candies since I have 2k+, but I figured I might actually want to use one eventually. It takes about 3,000 candies to go all the way to 60 after all.
>>
>>58824835
Smashing drifloon candies to try and get my gourgeist to 60

I'm so close...
>>
>>58824835
I've been cramming random shit, mostly Jigglypuff and got lucky with 5 dragon candy's so far
>>
>>58824835
Yeah just chucking garbage candies into it. I'm having item inventory problems this event with all the items I'm getting.
>>
>>58826266
About half of my inventory is shards, a quarter is candies, and the last quarter is incenses and everything else. I keep bumping against the limit, but I'm putting off expanding my item inventory since I could just use up stuff that I really don't actually need to horde so much.
