Eat THIS Edition

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.

>Adamant/BFS Bagon today
>But no other speed boosts
>Is it even worth it?

Sounds worthwhile to me. I invested in a similar Tinkatink so I could build my coverage.
My second Bagon from the start of Amber Canyon is also Adamant/BFS, but gets HB at 70 and HSS -> HSM at 80, and has Sleep EXP bonus to help it get there.

Building coverage is important so you aren't struggling whilst you look for the optimal roll. I had this happen with a Meganium that only had BFS and reached level 53, and later found a superior Chikorita with BFS, HB, HSS, and HSM. It also has ABC ingredients so it even gathers leeks.

This week at GGEX I'm making salads with a team of Dragon, Grass, and Dark. My BFS Ttar is level 47 but is gathering the ginger and beans I need to consistently make Ninja Salads. It's a pretty bad roll and questionable investment with no ingredient boosts and ABA spread, but for the moment being it's working well whilst I look for a better Larvitar.

>>59707469
Also I took a look at my Salamence's potential RP with Neroli's lab.
If I give it main skill seeds for Cooking Power Up Lv. 7, and subskill seeds for Inventory Up L, at level 70 it'll exceed 10,000 RP.
The Inventory upgrades don't do much for it or the RP, and since the main skill is useful you want to avoid it sneaky snacking, so it doesn't accomplish that much other than slightly better chances of a ready skill trigger after waking up.

Looking kinda iffy for 11 days...

Honestly not sure where I'm headed next week. Spawns are all over the place and given there are so many that are only "slightly" boosted, it might not even mean anything at all.
>>
Whats the general feel on the mixed ingredient skill mons vs conventional ingredient mons? I mostly mean crustles vs flygons, sandslashs vs gourgeists.
You obviously lose consistency and will end up with random ingredients you might not need, but it feels easier to find a reasonable skill mon compared to a AAA ingredient mon.

>>59709202
I'm feeling similar, there are a few spots that have an ingredient I'm still hunting but only really one per island. Still looking for anything usable for avocados and pumpkins, so I guess I hunt for pumpkaboos.

Whilst the boosted encounters are only "slightly greater" across the board, I looked through and realised that Taupe Hollow fills in the most gaps in my roster, whilst also helping me better prep for a future THEX (especially with Turtwig).

Also, slightly ahead of next week's event, we're getting the new Sleep Dex Goal unlock tomorrow.
>The new Sleep Style Dex Goal (570 Styles) will be added on Nov. 8, 2026, at 19:00 p.m. (UK time).
If you've already achieved this goal, you'll get the following:
>+10% area bonus cap (95%)
>+6 cooking pot upgrade cap (81 -> 87) (will probably need at least 3m dream shards)
>Diamonds x100
>Ultra Biscuits x3
>Handy Candy M x3

The timing is actually very convenient, for it being the end of week, and also the New Moon event with Darkrai encounters.

Ingredient Draw specialists like that feel tailored to making the new hottest recipes, which means they're at higher risk of losing relevance.
Where they function similarly to mixed ingredient specialists, it makes them less viable for a team slot dedicated to stockpiling for a wider variety of meals.
They tend to excel in ingredient quantities, but with the added cost of requiring main skill seeds to do so, competing for your limited supply.

As the game progresses and recipes are introduced, the viability and usefulness of ingredients fluctuate.
After next week, where Slowpoke tails used to be treated as filler, they may become an essential ingredient for desserts weeks.

Aside from that, mixed ingredient specialists have their place for providing coverage, and AAA specialists help stockpile efficiently.
Something like an ABC Victreebel with Tomatoes / Potatoes / Leeks is pretty good on salads and curry weeks. An ABC Cramorant has a niche for making "Petal Blizzard" Layered Salads, and a pair of AAB Dragonite (herbs and corn) with AAB Charizard (Sausages and Ginger) excel at preparing "Inferno" Corn Keema Curry.
>>
What are the ingredients people still need good mons for?

I'm honestly pretty solid for MOST things, I have nothing good for leeks, pumpkins and avocados (oh and tails), and still need a better honey mon. Everything else I'm I have solid mons for.
>>
>>59709237
Ingredient Draw Pokemon take a lot more investment and need generally better skill sets to function well, but they should be more consistent at getting you a good spread of ingredients vs an ABC ingredient Pokemon or the overflow from an AAA one.

>>59710280
I have gatherers for most ingredients, but I need a better spread of types to gather them.
>>
>>59710280
leeks god fucking dammit. also desperate for corn and apples. dont have a good potato, coffee, avocado, pumpkin and egg farmer. everything else i got something for the mid term at least.
i'll either to to lapis or amber canyon next week. probably lapis and then amber for the following week.
>>
>>59710280
I need honey and tomatoes and then I'll try for the more niche ingredients later on. I was thinking of getting Bulbasaur or Bellsprout on Lapis but might try Cyan next week.
>>
>>59710280
Eggs, Apples, Pumpkins and Avacados
>>
Hell, I might just go to Greengrass. Mr Mime and Larvitar especially have been on my list for a while. It also looks like Mime Jr got added to the greengrasses, as it had actually been Cyan exclusive for a while there.
>>
Gotta love instantly achieving all Dex goal increases as soon as they appear.

Meal Prep Week bonuses for reference.

There's really not much going on besides mixed spawns, slightly greater appearance rates, and 1.5x candies and dream shards for those boosted Pokemon. You've also got candy boost to use up and a small cooking power bonus.

Important to note that both versions of Greengrass do have some spawns added specifically for this event.

Regular:
Trapinch, Shinx, Mime Jr., Snover, Dwebble, and Stufful

Expert:
Diglett, Bellsprout, Geodude, Trapinch, Shinx, Mime Jr., Dwebble, and Stufful

Why did Pokémon Sleep decide to become Pokémon Eat?
>>
>>59712645
Apparently all Pokemon are all chubby chasers and feeders. They just can't help being attracted to this fat fuck.

So the next two cooking pot upgrades are expensive as fuck.
I decided to take one, because the candy boost costs I need for my low level Doduo shouldn't stress my research gains or my cluster hoard.
84 capacity doesn't help make any new dishes, but 87 makes Zing Zap Cola possible on desserts weeks.
Whilst the previous 81 capacity cap is enough to make the upcoming Salad recipe on Sundays with a 1.5x capacity boost to 122.
>>
It costs a total of 4.4m shards to upgrade your cooking pot to 87.
>>
>>59714060
>>59714417
I did the first one impulsively, still got 2 mill shards, might pop the second one.
Honestly I can justify using my clusters for pot upgrades and future candy boosts anyway. I'm at max current level anyway, with 399 S and 40 M clusters. Can't just save them forever like a rare potion, they can be used if I need them desu.

Fuck, HB+BFS shiny.

I didn't think a sleep tracker would be so serious.

Woke up with a hungry Darkrai. Was debating whether or not to give it an Ultra Biscuit, but it decided to mega crit on my daily. Problem solved!

Nice.

Games can create reward structures that incentive good behaviour like maintaining a bedtime or brushing your teeth.
For the first few months players take the sleep part a bit more seriously, but eventually they just focus on the idle game loop and learn to manipulate the sleep tracking by just using their device to start tracking unattended for at least 10-15 minutes before actually going to bed.

Speaking of brushing your teeth, there's Pokémon Smile.

3,2m if you already had 81 since last increase that was a while ago.
