>>59604689>/zzz/That's my general opinion for this game right here
>>59604081>>59604577>It's worth considering Mr. Mime in a Psychic team too, as it can pick up the skills from Cressalia, Mew, or Mewtwo.Unfortunately, Mr. Mime's "Skill Copy" main skill can't actually copy Cresselia's Lunar Blessing, or Mewtwo's Psystrike.It can copy Mew's Versatile, though.https://pks.raenonx.cc/en/docs/view/mechanics/skill-copy
Left my ++ at home when I went to Japan for 2 weeks and didn't feel like using my phone to track so like 8 people deleted me oops. Feel free to add back bwos, I swear I'll be better about it this time :36921-3924-0749
This is the one, im not searching anymore
>>59604904neat
>>59604904Looks like it will actually take Lunar Blessing, just not Heal Pulse (Latias). I'm just going to assume most of the barred skills are due to pure strength, but also unique versions of skills turn to defaults because Skill Copy can't keep track of any extra data (like if it already crit that day).
>>59606074My bad, yeah looks like I misread it and confused Heal Pulse with Luna Blessing for some reason.
Not gonna go through previous threads, but it seems like Psystrike deletes any berries in the box when triggered. Always tap Mewtwo first when you open the game.
>>59606221It just forces Snorlax to consume everything in the bin before applying the buff. But yes, click on Mewtwo first to get the berry buff.
>>59606331Ah, so once you've fully upgraded the buff to 24% you actually wanna tap mewtwo last so all the berries get eaten immediately so you don't have to wait.
>mew's skill activated and gave me 32 potatoes at oncet-thanks
>>59606349Snorlax gradually eating the berries doesn't take that long, and will happen whilst the app is closed or suspended anyway.Whilst the berry zone buff is <24% then yes, you should always check Mewtwo first.After that, it's irrelevant since it'll just be a Charge Strength M specialist and it might no longer cause the boxed berries to immediately apply strength.
Is this a cocoa master
>>59607071>no ing finder>Ing downIt has mono cocoa, but is AWFUL at finding it. Don't use it
>>59606846>might no longer cause the boxed berries to immediately apply strength.It does, I maxed my second Mewtwo because it rolled stupid good skills, so I reached 24% really quickly.
fuck it we ball
Ewww...But the extra sleep style is very cute.
>>59608109My second Mewtwo was this turd with gold sprinkles.I'll get another Mewtwo tomorrow morning, this morning I fed my Mewtwo spawn to 26 pips when it got full.No matter how bad your Mewtwo might be, next week remember we have a 1.3x DP multiplier for sleeping with Mewtwo, and psychic types get +5 main skill levels.So Mewtwo will have maximum skill level, concentrate on getting your Berry Zone to 24%, it will only need 12 triggers.
so how important is mewto outside this event really?
>>59609261It mostly provides support to Psychic teams, and lets Cresselia be even stronger at its job.Mewtwo doesn't feel very essential with how they implemented it, but if you get a good one make no mistake that it would be a strong addition to your team.You only need it for Lapis Lakeside or psychic berry weeks, and it's not strictly necessary if you have a lot of good options already.
>>59609261None of the legendaries are necessary, but if you manage a decent roll, they're BIS in each of their intended teams. By itself, Mewtwo is really just a Charge Strength M Pokemon that scales better the longer the week goes on. Given the option, Cressalia is better, but Mewtwo will also continue to scale as levels and berry power continues to unlock.
>can't use mewtwo and mew at the same timeBummer, I was hoping it'd be a Lati twin situation.
>>59604992According to raenonx these 2 have the pretty much the same trigger at 30 and 50, i think im sticking to the speed one since it would take me 5 years to get to lvl 70 or 80
>Week 1 GG>Psychic / Ghost / Ground with Salads>Week 2 GGEX>Psychic / Ghost / Dark with Salads...huh>WIth 2.4x berry strengthOkay guess I'm sticking to that.I got a Skill Trigger M Mewtwo this morning, but with a speed hindering nature.It'll suffice for getting the ball rolling this week, it's already had 3 triggers for 6% berry zone. Will switch to Mew for better strength gains once that hits 24%, and sleep with the Sleep EXP Bonus Mewtwo overnight.
>>59610318This is a god roll though
Somehow, it got worse.
>>59610318>According to raenonxRaenonx defaults to applying event bonuses when you're using team analysis or production comparison.You need to compare the results of your fast Mewtwo versus your Skill Trigger maxing Mewtwo without the event bonuses to evaluate its baseline performance.
>>59611170They actually recently changed it so that it doesn't apply event bonuses, but also gives max energy and infinite inventory. The only thing I don't agree with is inventory, because that's important to consider while you're sleeping.
>>59611195That seems to be VERY recent since I checked team analysis pretty recently for checking my Mew rerolls.Good to see that they finally fixed that dumbass default making your team look better than it actually is.
>>59604689>Letting creepy CIA agents and Google employees spy on you as you sleep so you can catch CHAAAAAAARIZAAAAAAAAARD!!!Just download a Heart Gold Soul Silver rom if you want to have a Charizard so badly.
>>59611228Lmao enjoy spying on my cat. I put the pg++ on the cat bed at night and just pick it up when I leave for work
How are some of you research rank 69? I won't be surprised when I see a 70 soon. I just hit 67 last week. Probably won't see 70 until December.
>>59611953I sleep with no socks on
>>59611953I'll probably hit 69 by the end of the week, but I haven't been trying any harder than usual. I've just been doing the standard single-team gameplay for weeks and I don't have any Research EXP Bonus Pokemon either. I'm decently progressed and have level 50+ teams for almost every type, with a few exceptions. Your progress comes from getting rare/valuable spawns in your daily research, so if you aren't progressing on your islands very far, then you're just going to get stunted. Also since Expert gives increased Research EXP, if you can maintain the same drowsy power, you'll get more Research EXP that way too.
>>59606114New island just dropped. It's Little Saint James with Snorlax's favorite berry guaranteed to be Cheri Berry. Increased encounter rate for: Typhlosion, Hypno, Drifloon, Bewear
...Why is it a Mt. Moon remix?
>6 hungry>but not mewtwoJ U S T>mewtwo full at 24 pips againJ U S T>default mewtwo skill procced twice in 24hJ U S Tthinking about not wasting too many materials and my masterball and just not get a good one, my psychic team consists of musharna and my mew is irredeemable dogshit. probably smarter to bag the skill seed. i have just the default one right now and i think i could get max 3 more if i go all out
>>59611953I forgot to post this yesterday, but I hit Rank 70 on Monday morning. Which is good because I can earn extra dream shards again, I've been running low with the number of things I've powered up to 60 or 70.Achieving this was largely just having strong performances each week and cashing in with a 5x Research EXP Bonus team on Sundays. I didn't need that for Sunday night though.At rank 70, Dream Cluster S are worth 4,018 shards, and Cluster M are worth 24,108.The weekly "Use Candies" mission now requires 289 candies.>>59612429They probably want to invoke the idea of Cerulean Cave, but without using the Team Rocket Hideout antagonistic music that Cerulean Cave actually uses.
>>59612457I got a hungry Mewtwo from 0 to 30 this morning, though it needed the two cheap Mewtwo biscuits for the second week.This one's my best though, access to HSM+STM and STS if it ever reaches 80.Hoping you can fix your Mew though. Mine went from dud to stud but in like three rerolls.
That aside, I've already hit Event Rank 13 (6.4B), which has another mystery reward.Like Rank 7, this should have another new 5 star sleep style (and guaranteed Mewtwo encounter) according to data mining, so I should set a Luck Incense tonight to try and capitalise on that. It awards 33k dream shards, 16k research EXP, 35 Mewtwo candy, and 100 DNA samples.
Holy low rolls. This is about how the event has been going for me so far.
I didn't think to screenshot the first phase, but the entry screen has been shifting with the area unlocks.
>>59612001I've got good teams. Can hit m20 on all islands except experts and snowdrop without even berrybombing. I just suck at spawns I guess. Was M20 Wednesday night last week. Maybe my issue is once I get M17 or M18 on an island I swap to a full dream shard team. Gulpin, Pursian, Lucario1, Lucario2, best energy mon for island. I can crank 200k or more on a week with bad proc rate. Probably need to just let drowsy power keep climbing.
>>59614094do you have a premium pass? i think im 2 years behind these guys for not having premium pass
>>59614110Not him, but I'm f2p at 68, soon to be 69. I haven't even used my free trial yet. I did start maybe 1-2 weeks after launch, but I've been playing every day since then.
Tuesday night and my stock-standard level 26 Mewtwo already capped out the berry zone. Just going to leave it in though, because big Mago berries and the direct power from its main skill really carry. That, stacking on top of the Expert berry bonus is doing some solid work.
>>59614670Yeah, whatever your best is between your Mew or Mewtwo, you should be running that during the day.My Mew is level 52, so its big Mago berries are a lot stronger than a new Mewtwo, and any level 6 Psystrike activations.I haven't seen a double trigger from any of the Mewtwo I've run, but I'm at 24% since Tuesday night too.
>>59612457>only crits on the last biscuit>worse than the default one>forgot to cook brekkyJ U S T
>>59614018Shame about the borders
>Level 70 Gardevoir drops berries worth 790Cool. Interestingly, the Big Mago berries not existing purely in factors of 10 reveals that berries normally use invisible decimal values.
>>59616631Yup, exactly as you say.That's a level 70 Gardevoir with 85% expert bonus and 24% berry zone active, and the 2.4x expert favorite berry effect.The 10x Big Mago berry gives 7875, but yet that should round up to 788, not 790.Base level 70 Mago berries have 143 strength, so that should multiply to 177.32 under a 24% berry zone, and then apply the 85% area bonus for 328.042, and 2.4x favorite berry gives 787.3008.My best guess without trying lots of combinations, is that every multiplier is rounding its result before performing the next multiplier, and that some of those might be round-nearest, others might be round up or round down.It can probably be deduced by trying the berry zone, area bonus, favorite berry, and event berry multipliers in different orders with different rounding methods.
>>59614018neat
I might be able to fit in one more Mewtwo from event biscuits due to some lucky crits earlier in the event. Ironically, I won't be using a Master Biscuit, as thematic as that might have been.>>59617717I imagine that "base" berry power is also the result of the actual level 1 power being subject to the Pokemon level multiplier, which causes further discrepancies in rounding.
>>59618729Regardless of what kind of biscuit you use, all Pokémon are kept in regular Poké Balls, as seen on the new Pokémon screen, or collecting a Pokémon from Nap Island.At least, I assume as much having never used a Master Biscuit except for the mandatory tutorial usage.Despite this, the Edit Team button features graphics for a Great Ball and an Ultra Ball, even though the game doesn't really use them.
>>59614110I do but premium pass does nothing to give more exp. Just more points and can get more skill up seeds. So I guess over time you can get better mons to get more exp due to higher drowsy power.
>>59619646It also gives you access to the Premium Exchange and the +1 to your Daily Biscuit, which should net you at least a few more recruits per month over f2p. So more rolls for stronger teams to field.
>>59620324That's really the main benefit of premium, all the extra sleep points and biscuits.The daily biscuit only giving 3 points and regular biscuits giving 1 point, is designed to make it 50/50 whether you can zero-to-full a 5-pip encounter, whilst needing an additional biscuit to do so. It also adds the psychology of "wasting" one point of your bonus biscuit if you're feeding a 3/5 pip encounter.The other big one is the monthly and quarterly subscription gifts, those monthly Good Camp Tickets are really important to hold onto for major events.
Eh....
9.6m strength at GGEX at Saturday night.I've got a real shot at hitting Master 20 (10.9m) for the first time. Big mago berries go hard, but so does my Mew's tasty chance S boosted procs.Also, since it's the Good Sleep Day event, the 1.5x / 2x Drowsy Power bonus will override the 1.1x or 1.3x bonus you'd get from sleeping with Mew or Mewtwo on your team.>• If overlapping events trigger more than one of the same type of bonus, the larger bonus will be applied.Do whatever's best for your Sunday strategies without relying on Mewtwo's DP boost.
LETS FUCKING GObeen quite unlucky in the weeks leading up to the event and with mewtwo's pips in general but all is forgiven. also made it to M20 for the first time on GG on friday, despite having only the default mewtwo, a completely useless mew and one single psychic bfs mon
>>59623612NiceMeanwhile, me:
>>59623612Very nice, my best one is still only >>59612722I got 6 Mewtwo, but decided to stop there so I don't burn all my resources for probably no better reward.HSM+STM and EXP up nature will have to do.
hurk
So does anyone actually like this fungus guy? I just see it show up in competitive modes, but I have to imagine most people don't really give a shit about it.Anyways, it's a Poison Ingredient specialist, with a small possibility of it being a Skill specialist with Ingredient Draw instead.
>>59623612Awesome Mewtwo. I got my first M20 yesterday with Espeon carrying and with a decent Xatu.>>59626091I will be shocked if it doesn't have mushrooms.
This was the 2nd mewtwo I found, requires a few seeds but should be pretty bloody solid. I tried for some reason to find one with BFS and found nothing at all suable, and probably wasted a bunch of mewtwo resource trying.
Might as well kill myself.
Finished on 12.26M strength, exceeding GGEX M20 a fair bit!The 2.45B drowsy power full moon spawns were great and I got multiple new, high tier sleep styles like 3 star Weavile, Torterra, and Pawmot, and even a 3 star Mewtwo without incense.Luckily I was able to get it from 0 to full with three Mewtwo biscuits, but unluckily it was similar but inferior to an earlier Mewtwo.Still had 800+ DNA samples which I cashed in for two main skill seeds, a Mewtwo incense, friend incense, and used the rest on Mewtwo candies.I checked my best Mewtwo it's expected to get 4 triggers a day under optimal conditions, so I'll probably run with it.GGEX this week is Fire / Steel / Grass with Desserts and 2.4x favorite berries. This should be an easy week for my Entei team, and the Meganium I just pushed to level 70.I need to sleep with a Steel type, but my sausage farmer Aggron isn't suited to this week at all, but I rediscovered a very viable shiny Togedemaru that I'm willing to build up for steel type weeks.>>59626091It seems popular enough that they even considered it for a paradox Pokémon like Brute Bonnet.It definitely is going to be yet another Ingredient Draw Pokémon with a focus on mushrooms, but I hope the spread is actually good and doesn't repeat previous Ingredient Draw users.Usually tailored towards the next new OP recipe, except the next "Packed Portions" event has neither a new recipe or a fixed meal preference.Also, we're getting Mini Candy Boost for next week's event again. A good chance to power up a worthwhile Mewtwo, but my priority is getting my Tinkatink ready; it's currently at nap island but will be withdrawn next week and promptly candy boosted.>>59627132Big oof
>>59627132This was by far the best I got. Not sure if it's worth spending anything on. To make things worse, I missed out completely on the 3* Mewtwo because I got a bunch of high level spawns the last few days
The massive boosts on Expert put me much further than I anticipated. I'm just shy half way to research level 70, which might only be a couple weeks.
>>59628290I hit research rank 70 just last week (>>59612718) and yeah it's the expert Greengrass rewards that really push research EXP gains.I was the first in my friends list to hit rank 70, too.Part of it was setting a 5x Research EXP Bonus team on end of week sleeps, it gives a very significant 45% boost.Repeat GGEX visits to rush to rank 70 was the goal, but I went there again this week because I want to raise the Cyan Beach expert bonus now. It's 25%, and will be 30% next week, but I'd like to get it to at least 50% before I first visit there.In terms of CBEX preparedness, my water team is great and I'll have a viable fairy team when I can candy boost my Tinkatink next week. I've got basically nothing for flying, however.My other types are becoming more well rounded, though.
>>59628346What can you even do for a flying team? Dodrio, 2000 hour swablu berry finder, braviary plus 2? No e4e or any energy booster. Tons of early birds they could throw in to get some decent berry mons. For a while they were doing mega evo mon so throw in pidgeot and staraptor
need to ponder over if i should go to lapis for dratini, amogus and sprigatito or to ogpp for farfetchd and mawille. not having a good leek farmer really cripples me
currently got 8.4k sleep points, do i use my premium trial now? could buy both skill seeds and both poke biscuits for 8.4k. or alternatively instead of biscuits buy the dream cluster and however many biscuits i can fit. great biscuits are tempting but the price per pip is higher
>>59628676Dodrio and Braviary definitely. Swablu is unfortunately just a very poor gatherer no matter what. Then you've got the Ingredient specialists: Delibird, Cramorant, and Farfetchd. You'll have to hope for an energy battery in your other berry rolls, because I don't think you'll be able to run an off-type effectively in spite of a -35% speed deficit.
>>59629094Yes, this is an ideal time to use the premium trial.You'll have access to two stocks of the premium exchange and can get the following:>20 Poké Biscuits for 2000 points>10 Great Biscuits for 4000 points>2 Main Skill Seeds for 3600 points>2 Sub Skill Seeds for 2800 pointsThat's a total of 12,400 points, but you can earn up to a further 2800 points through sleep tracking with 100 sleep score for the 14 nights of the premium trial.You should get this month's skill seeds and biscuits, and then next month's skill seeds as priority and then whatever extra biscuits you can get.I don't recommend getting the dream clusters at all, they don't offer a lot of value and the game is pretty generous with them, likewise with the handy candy. They're only minor strength accelerators, whereas skill seeds and biscuits actually are essential for team building.As for great biscuits, the best use case for those are the higher pip encounters that are hungry, or rare and really worth going for.They're particularly useful during legendary event weeks. Don't go wasting them on 5 pip encounters.Whilst you're on the premium trial, you'll really enjoy the daily bonus biscuit being 4 pips instead of 3; it makes a huge difference on befriending stuff in single sessions when you only need a single extra biscuit.If you are going to spend any money on Pokémon Sleep, the premium subscription is honestly the best value for money and really elevates the game.
>>59628676The majority of flying types are ingredient focused, including the only skill specialist Hawlucha.It really is just Dodrio and Braviary if you need berry strength, but Farfetch'd being a dedicated large leek farmer is a worthy addition, and Cramorant can pitch in with Tasty Chance S.With Cyan Beach now available I'd like to see some new flying options. Foongus and Amoongus debuting as new poison types is intriguing as the focus there is either Amber Canyon, or cooking.
Appropriately it's complete shit
>>59630210you just made me checki have one usable rock mon and its a tyrunt i caught this monthi have friendship lvl 33 with geodude and not a single one in my bag besides a shiny graveler2 years 1 rock type maybe im racist
Monthly exchange rolls over today. Take advantage of your stocks before they reset! Biscuits, maybe some extra Expert tickets just in case.
Big berries are so bad that I’m getting more points than my bfs butterfree from a non favored bfs mon on amber canyon, it feels so weird.
>>59631149Bug berries are tied with Flying as the lowest power, but they still shouldn't be out-performed unless there's a large level difference. A new Bug berry farmer would either have to be fast as fuck or come equipped with Berry Burst in order to compete with berry farmers of other types. We also seem to be overdue for a decent Poison berry farmer and Normal still isn't that great either, despite having several options.
I think the developers of this thing should have their fucking heads forced into sinks and bashed against the porcelain until they die from drowning or trauma.
>>59630887Expert tickets is always a good shout, since you can end up in situations where it's not possible to go to an expert island on every week of the month.There's also a scheduled maintenance on October 1st, but it's occurring at later (or earlier?) hours than normal.In the UK, this maintenance starts at 5pm and will prevent me from cooking dinner until after it is completed.Normally, they occur around 4am and finish around 10am.
I give up. I'm at 50x Pichu and this is the best I've got. I'm just getting griefed so hard when going to Old Gold or any time Electric pops up.
>>59631591There's a guy like you every thread but you haven't posted a reason why.
Maintenance time. This is the only game that I've played that has this much downtime, this often.Also Amogus coming with spawn boosts for the cooking event.
>end sleep>game has update>update>game now in JapaneseOutstanding work. I expect the man responsible to have 20 lashes, deep apology post and compensation gifts.

>growth event>for growing>no mini candy boost
do i invest in this? with a mint maybe?
Trying to decide where to go next week. Lapis seems an easy choice for foongus and I STILL need a good bulbasaur, but boosted Farfetch'd is tempting too.>>59634619My heracross is pretty similar to yours, and I'm a big fan of it. Really good for ingredient draw with added tasty chance. Like any skill mon its a bit of an investment, but its certaintly good at what it does.
>>59634619Given the scarcity of Heracross, I'd definitely give it consideration, but it does need a lot of items to get it ready.Personally I'd keep looking, since Heracross' role is not essential albeit very powerful.The game can also just surprise you sometimes. I went all in on a "good enough" Wigglytuff in the first year, and just before Christmas 2024 I got a god roll shiny Igglybuff with HB, max skill trigger, BFS at 70, Inventory Up S at 80, and Careful nature. ABC ingredients too.
Nothing creepier than sleeping with Mewtwo…
>>59634985Mewtwo is wholesome compared to Typhlosion...
>>59635015I don’t much care for the post-151 Pokemon… There’s so many creepy ones to not sleep with there, though.
I fucking love my oil cat
I'm slowly getting my GG expert percent up, looking over at expert Cyan sitting at a fat 0% is painful
>>59636175And meant to add, I keep on being tempted to make a torterra and Pawmot for expert E4E options to go witth my Gard and sylveon, but man that many main skill seeds is a rough feeling.
>have premium pass>suddenly only get good rollspeculiar...>>59629945>you'll really enjoy the daily bonus biscuit being 4 pips instead of 3; it makes a huge difference on befriending stuff in single sessions when you only need a single extra biscuit.i ended up using it few days ago, this is indeed nice, not rolling the 50/50. i'd be tempted to actually pay for it, if it was a lot cheaper. 10€ is a bit much for a game like this
How does napping work in Pokemon Sleep?
>>59636429Minimum sleep tracking session duration is 1.5 hours (90 minutes) iirc, you're allowed to have two sleep sessions a day but doing so penalizes and limits the rewards you get for finding Pokémon in the second session.Events also tend to only boost sleep tracking rewards for the first sleep session of the day, so you're heavily encouraged to maintain one sleep session per day (as well as starting sleep in the two hour window around your bed time).The daily rollover for sessions is 4am, so if you had a nap sometime during the day you need to start sleep tracking before 4am for it to count as your second session.You can earn up to 100 sleep points a day through sleep tracking, if the first sleep session earned maybe 20-30 points from a nap, the second sleep session can be shorter and still make up the remaining 70 points.It takes about 8 hours 25 minutes iirc to get 100 points.Many players will cheese that by just starting sleep tracking a bit earlier, and making sure their sleep tracking device is unattended for 10-15 minutes so it registers your first "slumbering" phase.Otherwise you can get fucked over by the sleep tracking thinking you're not fully sleep for many hours and tank your sleep score.It's a system that invites falsifying sleep data and for the sake of data studies, they probably should've changed that.
>>59636758Yikes - does anybody else think Pokemon Sleep is the most Frankensteinesque stuff ever done by Japan?! My goodness…
I'll finally have enough candies and nap EXP to boost my Sceptile up to 70. Now I just need to roll Grass berries to have the excuse to dump all the resources into it.
This doesn't happen often, got an ingredient stockpile to make my strongest dish three times tomorrow.I've coasted to Master 9 (4.7m strength) on GGEX on an off-week, that's pretty nice.
Pokémon you would sleep with irl? Wigglytuff looks so fluffy and huggable and Swablu and Altaria would be nice too.
Managed to hit M20 on GGEX last week on the Mewtwo event. Had to spend all 4 of my saved whistles and buy 3 more in the shop but at least I'm done with it. Honestly, it was pretty iconic for me. My first good roll was Arcanine and Leppa berries were always my strongest berries, and that coupled with my Level 70 Espeon that I leveled up just for the event was what made this possible. And with that, I've actually decided to quit the game. It actually feels like a really good place to drop it, it felt like GGEX was the final boss and the other future EX islands are just optional postgame superbosses which I'm not really interested in grinding for. Also even though the game did help with my sleep at first, getting a POGO++ just undid everything since I could just set it down and keep using my phone anyway. I had quite a few friends from here ever since day 1 so it's a bit sad to leave, but that's life. I changed my name to Goodbye zzz so feel free to check and remove me. Sleep tight, friends.
>>59638678>Also even though the game did help with my sleep at first, getting a POGO++ just undid everything since I could just set it down and keep using my phone anyway.This game helped me for the first month or so but not much after that. The collecting aspect is better than any potential benefits to sleep. Seriously, why make a sleep app that blasts the user with blue light before bed? I wish the POGO++ and premium pass weren't so expensive because I have almost no desire to spend money on something with no actual gameplay.
>>59638678>finally reached the end game: permasleep
About time to decide where to go for the cooking event. You have double pot size, +25% cooking power, and extra ingredients. Best to make use of the bonuses and get M20 somewhere you're missing if possible. Foongus/Amoonguss is boosted on Greengrass, Lapis, Amber, Expert Greengrass, and Expert Cyan, so pick one of those for best results.
>>59639760i'll decide if i'll go to lapis or ogpp once we know if amogus is any good or not
>>59639760I'll probs do lapis for the mushroom and bulbasaurs, though cyan for farfetch'd would also be a consideration. I already have a lvl 60 quagsire for mushrooms if its just a straight mushroom farmer.
>>59639760I have M20 on all except experts. I'd rather not gamble there since half my types have bad teams. Probably Lapis to try for a good farfetch'd and an easy early M20. My only good leek farmer is my gardevoir so I usually have enough for Sunday 3x disk if needed but would like a better option.
>>59639760It's been ages so I'm gonna go to Amber Canyon for a change of pace from GGEX.I want the assurance of my Heracross performing its best on a week like this, and if I get a good ingredient roll my Dragonite can do wonders for cooking curries or filling the pot.I also hit rank 70 back during the Mewtwo event, so I don't need GGEX for research EXP grind any more.If you use a Good Camp Ticket for the packed portions event week, the double pot size atop the GCT bonus is going to demolish your ingredient supplies, so maybe don't do it unless you're very, very prepared.I think I have a shot at AC M20 with a GCT if my Heracross, Vaporeon, and Dragonite pull their weight whilst I've got Salamence on berries and Shuckle on healing.My Amber Canyon PB is 4.4m M14, M20 is 8.5m. Area bonus is 79%.It happens that after that week, all of my normal maps will be at 85% or 1-2% away from max, so spending one week at any 85% map will max out the bonus at most of the maps.Also I guess within half a day or so we're gonna have full details on what the Foongus line does. All we know atm is that they're 5 pip and 12 pip encounters, poison types with dozing sleep.I have a superb Gengar for mushroom farming, so Amoongus probably won't help me if it's just a mushroom farmer. It feels like yet another Ingredient Draw user, but we'll see.Maybe they'll surprise us and it's actually a Dream Shard Magnet user, keeping in-line with treasure carrying Pokémon like Gulpin, Sableye, Meowth, etc.
Hmmmm, most of the times I've bene running big recipes for each meal I've been on a GCT. Interesting to see if I can maintain the resources to do meals and keep up tasty chance too, even with the extra ingredient per ingredient drop.I have been motivated these last few days to actually use some of the hoarded handy candy I ahve to get ingredient mons to 50 or 60, instead of just going "I'll save that for later"
The data is out.It's basically a side-grade to Quagsire as far as Mushrooms are concerned. Slightly slower, but has a slightly higher ingredient rate and neither are particularly good candidates for BFS despite strong base berries. Amoonguss gets Mushrooms/Eggs/Tomatoes, which are all useful, probably moreso than Mushroom/Potatoes/Sausages from Quagsire; and I imagine AAB, AAC, or even ABA could be useful.
>>59641781Well, with an already invested quag, I don't really care too much about this mushroom. I'm going to hunt bulbasaurs for honey, and then jump to cyan maybe if I get time in the hopes of Leek birds
>>59641781I REALLY need an Egg farmer. Maybe I'll get lucky.
Amoonguss can really put out some numbers if you roll well. I don't really think you're going to need ABB or ABC, but depends what you already have for teams.Abomasnow also just getting its shit pushed in on almost every ingredient it can pick up.
>>59641781As a mushroom farmer I'd argue Quagsire has the edge, since its main skill helps ensure its own peak performance; Amoongus is more reliant on healers with its mediocre main skill.Amoongus still has its place though, it's effectively the Amber Canyon mushroom farmer, whereas Quagsire is for Cyan Beach, Gengar is for Old Gold Power Plant, and Spiritomb is for Snowdrop Tundra.Amoongus' potential as an egg farmer is pretty damn good too though.It honestly just adds more options, rather than being the new essential chase.
HooWhat are you spending your candy boosts on? Luckily I don't need it for this Sceptile, but I'm probably going to do half on my Torterra and the other half on the Pichu I'm logging sleep hours for.
So I figure on an ingredient mon, bfs is better than helping bonus if it’s a favored berry, otherwise the other way around?
>>59638657Gardevoir
>>59643822It depends. I value ingredient, helping speed, helping bonus higher and even inventory higher than bfs on ingredient mons. I like doing max ingredient meals every meal though and weeks like this I struggle to keep my bag above 700 ingredients. Bfs just eats too much space overnight and I feel that I have to check every 2 or 3 hours in case I proc too many c slot ingredients to run out of inventory.
>>59643822Depends how fast the Pokemon is and what type it is, because a lot of Ingredient specialists are too slow to get much benefit out of BFS. Take Farfetchd and Vikavolt for example: slow and bad berries, so it doesn't make much sense for them. But then you have stuff like Dragonite and Gengar, which substantially increase their overall gathering power with BFS.
Amber Canyon had the best spread of rate up pokemon that ai wanted to level up, but I was still a dozen sleep styles away from unlocking it at the start of the week (now 10).
>400/580 ingredients>click on auto cook because whatever>do you want to use 58 ingredients?>click yes before realizing>check bag>300+ slowpoke tails locked from auto useits fine bros im saving for a better use bros surely i will use them eventualy
>>59644905>300+ slowpoke tails>its fine bros im saving for a better use bros surely i will use them eventualyMy dude that time is this week.This event has 4x larger cooking pot and 3.75x Extra Tasty dishes on Sunday.If you've got maximum cooking pot upgrades and are running a Good Camp Ticket your Sunday cooking pot is going to be enormous and can take all those tails. If you have Tasty Chance Pokémon you need to run them on Sunday.Also, cooking pot filler ingredients are very underwhelming.They only scale with area bonus, not with recipe levels, so with an 85% area bonus each Slowpoke tail is only adding 632 strength on a regular week.HOWEVER, if you pull off a critical Sunday cook with +300 Slowpoke tails and 85% area bonus, that's a whopping 711k additional strength, this week only.It's a gamble but one that can result in a 1m+ strength dish if you pull it off.On a regular basis though hoarding pot filler ingredients is only knee-capping your ability to cook better dishes more regularly.Recipe levels only increase the strength of the required ingredients, but the level scaling can greatly exceed the strength of some Slowpoke tails.
Uggggghhhh I'm never going to get a proper Rufflet to invest in. Foongus had a hint of something good if the order wasn't so fucked.
>>59645329Had like four Foongus encounters this morning, befriended two.The second one is actually a pretty good egg farmer, but then I realised this thing runs into the same problem as Gourgeist; Amoongus' has 19 base inventory so it hits carry capacity too quickly.I got a good Blissey for eggs already and that has 31 inventory, so I might not even use this Foongus unless I specifically must use a poison type.
what does a good slowpoke look like? i'm assuming ABB? is it better to ing find max?
>>59646652A good slowpoke is one that unlocks tails at 30 and is never touched again. All of the slows are bad and not worth considering except to make tails end up in the random ingredient finding skills pool
I think they started restocking Go Plus+ recently.
>>59646652Slowpoke line desperately needs a buff to be any good
>>59647476Yeah, they've been going out in batches across different stores without notice.The Nintendo UK store had three waves of stock across Monday two days ago, and I snagged a spare one in case my current one ever fails or goes missing.It was complete chance that I checked the site at that time and spotted it was available.An IRL friend of mine had been trying to get a Go Plus at an affordable price for years, I informed them of the first restock immediately, and of the two other restocks later in the day, but they were completely an utterly inept at using a guest checkout, making an account, or completing a checkout process.To be fair, the site puts up a "backorder notice" modal AFTER you already click "place order" (or a similar final-looking button), so it gives the false impression of placing an order before you actually place the order for real.Oh, this reminds me. The Go Plus+ actually only tracks up to 9999 hours and 59 minutes of sleep. The app itself can go beyond 10,000 hours.>>59647560Not all Pokémon can be winners, or viable team members sadly.A gacha-like game needs to have dud pulls to make good pulls more exciting.Fixing the Slowpoke line would involve changing them from skill specialists to ingredient specialists.Or outright changing the main skill, giving Slowpoke, a notable Yawn user, "Energising Cheer S" feels so outright contradictory....How about that for a main skill? "Yawn"?"Increases Drowsy Power multiplier by 1.05x for your next sleep session. Resets after your sleep session or when changing sites".Maybe it can have a drawback like reducing team energy by a small amount. Not as severe as Darkrai's main skill though.
>>59646652Exp up and tails at 30 to unlock and not use again as the other anon said. Most weeks I have a few days running plusle/amped toxicricity with maxed skill and I get enough tails to make 6 tail dishes minimum. Used to be best dish but was powercrept a while ago. Still good to cook though as they have a low base ingredient so you can pump them Sunday if you don't have enough to make 3x of your best dish. I usually just use tails as filler unless I can only make 2 good sunday dishes.
>>59647588IMO Slowpoke/Slowbro are more known for Amnesia. Maybe it would do something weird like "forget" part of a recipe and let it intake any type of ingredient to satisfy the conditions.
Ugh. Really eating up my Poke Biscuit allotment. Guess I'd better calm down without hungries.
>>59649412To be honest, that Spiritomb is pretty decent as a mixed gatherer for dark weeks.Too bad it needs two subskill seeds.
>>59649531I might have considered it if it had BFS at 50, otherwise it's just not going to be consistent enough at anything. Plays into hitting itself with its skill too.
Do what will the next Ghost type be? Trevenant? Misdreavus? Duskull?
>>59651091Litwick would be an incredibly popular and safe pick.Alternatively, Sinistea / Poltchageist lines possibly with a new tea leaves ingredient or something.
>>59651091If it isn't infernape I will go insane.
Need 3 friends. Don't expect you to play daily (I miss sometimes myself if I get too drunk)7830-3857-1731
Anyone else not evolving Pikachu for the chance that they release Alolan Raichu?
>>59652329Ain't Infernape the starter monkey?>>59653012So far they haven't included any lines that would make that a possibility, though I guess that's one of the only regionals that behaves like that. What would you even do? Evolve it on Cyan Beach?
>>59653012Me. I have a shiny Pikachu, but I already have a good Raichu and my autism prevents me from having 2 Raichu. If I could evolve the shiny into an Alolan Raichu, that would be different enough to warrant keeping both.
>>59653012Thats a good idea. I don't have any good fairy and I could see them doing that eventually. Too bad eventchu can't evolve. I have insane luck with them and constantly get bfs and both helping speed by level 50.
>>59653189Maybe they could add an Alolan island for other regionals to spawn too. I still wonder how they could add ocean Pokémon with the current way that islands and sleep styles are designed.
>>59654333Pokemon spinoff games tend to be shunted off to their own areas, isolated from the mainline regions. This lets the developers explore their own stuff without restricting them by having to deal with anything "official" set up by the main games or vice versa.Most fish don't really sleep in the traditional sense, and the lack of limbs makes potential sleep styles very limiting. I very much doubt there will ever be fish Pokemon in Sleep. If they did, they'd probably end up floating on land.
>>59654946Sleep is specifically set in its own archipelago too, in an unnamed region.It by definition is not the Alola Region and would not have the conditions for non-Alolan Pokémon like Pikachu and Cubone to evolve into their Alolan variants.We do however, have the Alolan Vulpix line appearing as-is on the ice map.This is why the series is specific with the language "originally discovered in the [wherever] region". It's flexible enough that it can mean the Pokémon can occur in that region, but is not necessarily dictated that it must come from there. The Alola region's tropical conditions are probably more important than it merely being Alola.As a couple of further examples, Riolu and Lucario are "originally discovered in the Sinnoh region", but you can't find them in the wild anywhere in Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum. Riolu could be caught in HG/SS's artificial Safari Zone, but their first true wild encounters where in the Black and White post-game caves.Meanwhile, Quaxly's pokédex entry explicitly mentions that it's from a faraway land, much like the Quartet of Ruin. You find them in Paldea, but they're not Paldea natives.
>>59655010interesting.
I didn't realize, but growth week is already next week. Not that there's much special about it, since it's only 1.5x EXP and 1.5x Sleep Research candies. Best choice is to go to Expert Greengrass to try and maximize candies, because otherwise the "event" bonuses are practically invisible.
why couldn't it at least be AA*... every single farfetchd i've gotten so far is AB*
>Woke up to a decent BFS shiny Flygon>Hungry Mew got from 0 to 25 and got a Eureka Seed>Rerolled Energy Recovery Bonus @70 to BFS@70>Levelled up my BFS Dedenne to 70 to unlock Skill Trigger Boost>Got guaranteed tasty chance cooks on breakfast and lunch>On track to achieve Master 20 at Amber Canyon even if dinner doesn't crit (might need helper whistles)This has been a pretty damn good week.The Tinkatink I've been candy boosting is up to level 48 now, and ready to evolve whenever I need fairy berries or to finish a use candies mission.The next things I want to candy boost are a pretty good AAB Wooper for cacao farming, and my second Dedenne that's Skill Chance Up with Skill Trigger M @50.>>59655680Yeah, it's a pretty nothing week, but it's kinda preferable to a gap week.I might take a look at my Sleep EXP Bonus helpers though and see how they fit into my GGEX roll.
>>59656728Success! It crit on 70% odds.My first M20 at Amber Canyon (got the main skill seed reward), I've achieved M20 everywhere except Snowdrop and Cyan Beach Expert now.
Usable, but I don't think I really need that many eggs...>>59655729I doubt you'd want to use a Farfetchd with so little Ingredient Finder. Farfetchd is pretty slow with a very low rate.
Ditto successfully rused me this morning.
>>59657226>I doubt you'd want to use a Farfetchd with so little Ingredient Finder. Farfetchd is pretty slow with a very low rate.i'd take anything at this point man
>>59657147M20 gave me 3 star Salamence sleep which was great.Less enthusiastic morning results though.I got a Darkrai Eureka seed, but unlocked Ingredient Finder S @ 70, yuck.The Trapinch and Spiritomb I befriended were complete duds.Expert GG this week is Ghost / Ground / Poison with 2.4x berry strength and desserts. I'll roll with it, reward is a Mimikyu incense though.This week is an excuse to level up my BFS + HB Swampert to 50 and let that one grow. My other level 70 berry farmers are technically better for this week, but they have nowhere to grow.
Only made it to M18 since I have no Tasty Chance going on, but I almost made it out with a free, no-invest shroom.
MAH BOYStill hasn't proc'd yet today
>flying, grass, groundI guess it is a sign to level my mudkip. I have caught 35 of them and my current one is OK but not great. Really like swampert. Could get him to level 52 on candy alone.They really need to add more flying types.I also got a shiny flygon last night but double herb is kind of shit since I have a gengar and dragonite. Maybe I'll keep him in box as he could be usable if I really need niche ingredient mons on taupe ggex.
>>59659374I'm surprised they haven't added any of the early game birds. I would have thought Pidgeot would be in but they've swayed more towards one stage pokemon for birds
>>59659952Huh, yeah there are no third-stage Flying type Pokémon in the game yet. Discounting stuff like Charizard and Dragonite since the game enforces mono-typing.If you want to add a third-stage flying type to Sleep, your options are Pidgeot, Jumpluff, Staraptor, Unfezant, Talonflame, Toucannon, and CorviknightThe Normal / Flying are almost certain to just be Flying types if ever introduced.I can see Corvisquire changing from Flying to Steel upon evolving to Corviknight.Jumpluff would almost certainly just be Grass type.The Starly and Pidgey lines seem like the most popular picks for Flying additions, as of late new additions are more prone to the later generations, as the launch period exclusively had the first three generations (and evolutions like Sylveon, but not Annihilape).Most later generations have pretty decent representation now, so there's less of a bias towards adding another Alolan Pokémon for the sake of it being Alolan.I don't think anyone was specifically looking at Foongus as a new pick.Anyway for game balance, they should just add Pidgey or Starly as simple berry specialists, like Tinkatink's recent addition as an accessible fairy berry farmer.Tinkatink got Charge Strength M to compensate for the weakness of Pecha berries, and Pamtre berries are tied weakest with Lum (Bug) berries, so I'd expect Pidgey or Starly (especially Staraptor) to have a meaningfully good main skill even if it's just Charge Energy S.Incidentally, Cyan Beach Expert is a 1/3 chance to roll for primary strong berries, and 2/3 chance to roll for two of the weakest berries in the game. Fun.
>>59660527Yeah I've thought about going to cyan ex and the thought of getting fairy berry as the roll deters me.
Shiny Pichu and first time I've had a mythical show up hungry. Looks like it gets its hungry status before it gets the guaranteed +3 progress. Pichu was on the cusp of being crazy. Alas 55 and still no BFS+ speed.
>>59660721I haven't gone to CBEX yet, I'm working the expert bonus up.My water team is strong, and I have my Wigglytuff and Tinkatink (evolution pending) ready, but I have nothing worthwhile for Flying and that's my fault for neglecting Doduo; but otherwise bad luck with Rufflet.>>59660783A tragedy always, a berry specialist without BFS.It's unfair that one single gold skill is enough to make or break an entire speciality. A flat +50% to berry gathering output (+100% for the other specialities) is absurd.Yeah, the hungry Mew is what I got on Sunday morning, and together with recent reduced odds of getting full, I was able to get it from 0 to Eureka Seed. It was a good roll too, I got BFS @ 70 to look forward to.
>>59659952>>59660527Dodrio is pretty strong as a berry farmer, as is Braviary. The only thing is that Doduo was a pretty rare spawn for most of the game. Going by the same power curve of multi-stage & single-stage Pokemon, an early route bird would be quite strong if it were a berry farmer.
>>59661029I had a good dodrio that carried me early. Double helping speed plus helping bonus and adamant. Still haven't found an upgrade but I also haven't used him in over a year. I just want more flying types because flying on cyan expert is a complete brick week for me especially if I get two berries I have awful teams for. I've been unlucky on every other flying type.
It IS Misdreavus.Main Skill>Mystical Fire (Cooking Advance S)>Gives your cooking pot room for more ingredients next time you cook.>Also raises your Extra Tasty rate by a small amount.It's kinda like Heracross's double skill. Tasty chance is always good, but pot size only matters up to a point. I'd much rather have the random ingredient rolls.
>>59660798I think that pikachu actually has enough helping speed bonus (with a subskill seed) to equal a single bfs
>>59661992>16 pip mon>Needs an evo item to evolveShe better be garbage so that I won't be enticed to pursue a good one.
Well well! My pining for a good Doduo yesterday apparently paid off this morning.>>59661992Having some diversity in tasty chance Pokémon isn't a bad thing, and extra pot size can be occasionally useful for burning through excess ingredients or making some bigger dishes more accessible.I mean, the inclusion of tasty chance will already put it above all other Cooking Power S users, at least depending how it's implemented.I'm intrigued enough that I'm going to go to Cyan Beach next week, just to make sure that my OGPP area bonus hits 85% through overflow.My OGPP team is busted, my Raichu, Dedenne, Gengar, and soon my Pawmot are all level 70.
>BFS Mewtwooh my>>59661992>extra cooking pot size + raised extra tasty rateOh my fuck this is actually a godsend. Skill speciality would be straight up broken on this thing
