Trying to decide if I invest in this ralts to replace my sylv. Raenox reckons 6.2 vs 4.8 triggers, and ralts has HB as well. Maybe its not enough of an upgrade, idk
stupid fucking design of the raised button of the pgp+ always getting pressed when i put it under my pillow piece of shit
Yuck. At least I have the Dragons, but nothing else.>>58829532The speed down nature plus the possibility of needing 2 Sub Skill Seeds pushes it down. Gardevoir is better at base, but that one will probably perform about the same as your Sylveon.
>>58829559One, don't put it under your pillow.Two, get a case for it to prevent accident button presses.I use pic related, it was a tenner on Amazon.>>58830576I rolled Bug / Normal / Grass and I am very well prepared for that. Level 65 BFS+HB Meganium gonna shine.Also got 2.4x berry strength, with desserts.Three weeks of back to back GCT and events have depleted my ingredient bag though, so i'm struggling to restock ingredients for a little bit before I can let a full berry farmer team do their job.My BFS mono-coffee Vikavolt shines on weeks like these though, and I've got a max speed BFS Raticate raring to go.It's a week where I don't have to fret which forced helper to put on my sleep team for the candy missions.It's also 80% expert bonus, so when I hit 85% area cap this week I can finally stop going to expert greengrass for a little while. I'm already planning to go to Cyan Beach next week for the Shuckle skill event.It did occur to me that Shuckle is slow as fuck, so it'll probably have a raised skill trigger rate. That means Skill Trigger subskils/nature will be more important, and that the pity trigger system will have less impact.
How did your New Year's event go? I caught 15 Pokemon in total, but nothing too particularly interesting. I did get a good Totodile that I'll invest in the upcoming Candy Boost as well as a couple Pokemon that were close to being good, but not quite. Got past level 10 friendship for Bagon, I guess.
>>58830723>One, don't put it under your pillow.need to get dozing somehow
Would you go for it? It's probably decent enough with a Sub Skill Seed.
>>58832049I would stash it with the hope of finding a better one someday but never use it
>>58831358My highlights were a mono-egg Blissey with double ingredient finder, a BFS Mudkip with EXP gains up, a BFS Sneasel, a BFS helping speed M Treecko, a BFS mono-pumpkin Pumpkaboo, a BFS ABB Snover with max speed and ingredient finders S, and this BFS Dedenne.I already have a fully invested BFS Dedenne, that'll get a big upgrade at 75 and hit full potential at 100.Though it turns out this new Dedenne can surpass my current Dedenne at the level 50 mark, but it needs a subskill seed AND a neutralising mint.I probably won't invest and will keep looking, because I want a Dedenne that focuses on skill maxing. My current BFS Dedenne is great for OGPP and a potential Raikou team, however.The funny part was that this Dedenne spawned from an incense and went from 0 pips to 16 pips in one sleep research session. It wasn't hungry, but it took a premium bonus biscuit, regular biscuit, great biscuit, regular biscuit, great biscuit, regular biscuit, great biscuit, in that order.I often just feed stuff in preparation for the next encounter, where I aim to be able to guarantee to befriend it in one or two biscuits. This is why it's a good idea to feed a single biscuit to any 5 pip Pokémon you're pursuing, if you have too many choices in one session.
Probably should have just stayed on Amber for this week... all my sleeping was pretty hard Slumbering last week, so almost every day should be Dozing or Snoozing.
Bfs + hsM, good enough? I know skill trigger does almost nothing on butterfree.
Man sure do love my coffee collector finding nothing but berries. Really need to keep grinding for a better one.>>58834152I feel its good enough? Depends on how many caterpies you want to catch and how much you need a bug berrymon
>>58834529
>>58834619At this point i would say push to 40 and start searching for bfs and helping bonus,
Welp, I give up on hunting these I guess, will just max invest on the best one.Honestly this hunt has been really annoying. Murkrow is just way too rare and expensive.
>>58834680>HSM and double triggerI would have called it there
>>58834152Yeah? As long as it has BFS and isn't stacked with Ingredient Finder, it's basically good to go. And at least yours has speed on it. There's very little else you could get besides a speed nature, ingredient down nature, and/or Helping Bonus.
>>58834680I mean are you actually trying to get a "perfect" one? I don't see the point.
Man you really feel the struggles with your E4E on GG expert. Also decided to go 4 berrymons with the expert berryboost. Wish I had a good sceptile, otherwise I have an incredible Walrein, a great A.Ninetales, anda solid meganium.
>>58832801the downside to setting up for an easy catch
>>58836511Only if you go too far.1/5 means you can guarantee the next encounter in any one or two biscuits, regardless of it being hungry or you playing premium, but might require using a great biscuit.0/5 means you can't guarantee it.>>58836377You really do, all my E4E helpers struggle when they don't get favorite berry.I'm hoping that Shuckle next week is the E4E bug healer we need, but there's a real chance that it underperforms because of the berry juice gimmick, and being the slowest Pokémon in the franchise.My expert bonus hits the cap of 85% this week, so I get to avoid expert greengrass for a while. I'm probably going to Cyan Beach next week to try and maximise Shuckle encounters, and also Treecko and a couple other interesting encounters.
>>58836511At least it's just a baby Pokemon. My first Mimikyu I had fed to like 12/16 over a month before it turned up shiny.
>>58835820It's my favorite pokemon so I wanted it to be as good as possible. I've been almost exclusively going to areas where it can spawn ever since it dropped, but even then only managed to catch that many. It's just too rare, the only weeks where I found more than 1 krow were the first 3 days when it was boosted and the first week of 2026, when it was also boosted. On most weeks I didn't even find any.
Maintenance tonight. Be sure to make your dinner, because if you make it right before bed like I do, you might miss the chance.
>>58837087Pokemon speed in the mainline games doesn't really seem to play THAT much of a role in the translation to this one, but I could see its base speed being around 1hr. Its skill performance will be worse because it gets you a stockable item and since its gathering power will already be hampered by Bug being the weakest berries, it'll have to be compensated somewhere else in its stats. So unless it starts out with a really high power ingredient, it might get a naturally high trigger rate.Judging against the current balance though, WITH using its Berry Juice, I imagine it ending up with an energy output similar to Sylveon and Wigglytuff. The main upside probably being that Berry Juice makes the Shuckle usable without a maxed-out main skill level.
>>58839007Data is starting to emerge for Shuckle on Raenonx and on Serebii, but looks incomplete. For some reason, Serebii's data on the Berry Juice main skill said it replenishs 10 times more energy than the standard main skill, like 50 energy instead of 5 energy at level 1.That's probably not correct, but I'm looking forward to seeing the finalised numbers. That probably won't be until someone gets their first Shuckle on the 19th though.
So it turns out I can fairly consistently make Flower Gift Macarons now. At least, my expert team this week can, if I bring in a Blastoise for the milk and cacao.Also level 65 grass berries with 80% expert bonus and 2.4x favorite bonus gives a whopping 632 strength per berry.
I feel like I should be conserving biscuits for the upcoming skill week... even after the New Year's event gave us 15 extra Poke Biscuits. I just get baited so easily by usable Pokemon species missing out of my roster.
>>58840656Building up your roster matters, and knocking things out of that checklist will lighten your biscuit usage over time.Learning to put just one poké biscuit into 5-pip encounters that aren't getting your daily bonus biscuit, really does help you prepare for the next encounter; a sleep session with underwhelming spawns, a hungry spawn, etc.Shuckle is unfortunately a 16 pip encounter, so it probably will pay off to use a GCT and maybe a friend incense to try and get hungry Shuckles.Next week's missions have been datamined already and it has the usual 5x biscuits reward mission.The use 7 incenses reward is only 25 Shuckle candy though, so I'd probably hold onto your incenses unless you really, really want to try your luck with say, a first night / low DP Shuckle incense + friend incense combo.
Bump
>>58840901Problem is that the chunks missing out of my roster are huge. I probably have less than a dozen "good" Pokemon and since almost every Pokemon can be used to fill a niche on Expert, there's usually something worth catching. Only times that doesn't happen is just when my sleep research is flooded with evolved Pokemon.
>>58841817it takes 17 weeks to get to 85% area bonus on a map, and if every pokemon you catch during those 17 weeks are favoured berry, there's no way you're not coming out of those 17 weeks with a pretty damn good team for that area. and it snowballs, as every good pokemon you do get frees up resources to catch other pokemonlike, i spent all my weeks after pawmi debuted just putting everything into it to get a really good one, and succeeded. and since i got one, it massively helped improve my farming of other pokemon that exist in ogppthe strength it provides each week giving me dream shards from high master levels, letting me get 8 spawns quickly, and freeing up biscuits for other pokemonand now my ogpp is basically done, and once you've got one map basically complete, you can do the other maps. and if you've done all the maps, you can do expert mode.oh and a reminder, 17 weeks is 4 months. it's a slow game, long term plans
>>58841874Right, and with the recent area cap increase, you're spending at least another 2 weeks at individual maps you already had at 75%, unless you're letting overflow happen. Expert Greengrass uniquely doesn't allow overflow at all, same for all future expert maps. Currently, my expert GG will hit 85%, and every other map is at 75% except for Amber Canyon which is maybe 20% tops?I have good teams for all maps now, so my future focus will be to go to past maps for events like Cyan Beach for Shuckle with skill-boosted Suicune, Vaporeon, and Wigglytuff, and I'll go to Amber Canyon for non-event weeks whilst I hunt down the ideal Flygon.
>finally got my 2nd Onix and 10th A. VulpixYeah...
