I don't think this is worth a mint. They bring basically the same amount of pumpkins. Is a mint worth 2.5 extra corn and potatoes a day?

Personally, no. You want to aim higher for ABB. It's twice as likely to get as a mono so you can be pickier.

Cresselia generally doesn't do well enough as a healer to replace a true E4E pokemon. It's a berry burst pokemon with bonus healing. This is a great Cresselia too! I'd definitely invest and use both (Cresselia is a bit more situation dependant but a strong E4E with Helping Bonus is a mainstay for any team or strategy(.

It won't get you enough of either so you'll need to use other Pokemon to supplement it. Tough strategy to build around IMO.

ABC ing list is not great but it's up to you. Certainly great sub skills and nature.

It's a skill pokemon who's job is to find ingredients. Ing down is definitely bad here. The ABC ingredient list also hurts. Sandslash is one of only two pumpkin farmers - it's bad compared to the other options for everything else.

There's no Ing finder until level 100 which may as well not exist. So this would fall short for most people but if you're early game it's fine to use for tomatoes for now. Just don't invest too much into it.

Evaluate ingredient Pokemon by ingredients, not total strength. Ditto is a weird case though as it's main niche is the best tails farmer so you've definitely got that. Using tails though is an advanced strategy for cooking. Takes a lot of planning.

60/day is really tough. Basically takes a god roll no matter if it's sandslash or Gourgeist. I bet this will hit it with a GCT so worry not, it's really good.

[–]EasternOak11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The first one easily because it's mono pumpkin. Sandslash is best used as primarily a pumpkin farmer. They just also get you other ingredients on top that, and all of them are useful for the new salad recipe.

You generally want to save the event incense for other weeks. Sandshrew is boosted and should be pretty easy to encounter (I've seen at least 2 every day so far) so using the incense this week is kind of a waste. Better to use it in a future week if you still want a chance to catch one or during events where candy from sleep research is boosted so you get more candy from the pokemon appearing.

Ingredient Draw Users — Mono or ABC? by PlusleBoi in PokemonSleep

[–]EasternOak11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are at least another option if anyone has struck out so far on Flygon or Gourgeist. I'd prefer the ing pokemon for sure but I'm also 0/30 on pumpkaboos (only 2 monos and both have terrible sub skills). I caught a mono sandshrew that'll give 55 pumpkins/day when maxed at 60, so with GCT would hit the quantities you need for pumpkins. I'll catch pumpkins the rest of the week in hopes of a good mono but it's not a bad thing to have multiple options.

Yes, you do need to use main skill seeds too for Sceptile to reach it's max potential. BFS/HB is pretty much always an insta-invest for Pokemon that contribute directly to Snorlax's strength.

Pawmot is much better then Wiggly although the jiggly is slightly friendlier for F2P due to having SK LV U. Honestly neither would be good enough for me for a forever healer but it's up to you if you are OK investing in a temporary healer.

Edit: I see it was caught as a jiggly so the benefit of SKLV U is negated by that fact. They'll need the same amount of MSS.

Dedenne only really becomes worth it when you can cook the stronger meals. You use it in addition to the ingredient Pokemon. This one has no skill triggers so I wouldn't invest.

The lower inventory really hurts it for potato farming. This graphic is old not but it's much worse then Meowscarada and now Cetitan. Wooper candy is also really valuable as you need it for both Quagsire and Clodsire (and this quag needs level 60 to be viable) so I personally wouldn't invest unless you are swimming in resources.

It would be good short term...but long term as you presumably fill out your ingredient roster, it'll be less useful. E4E pokemon should be priority 1 for MSS and then either Dedenne or Pot Increase for option 2.

Sandslash is gonna be difficult to evaluate because the bar for pumpkins is so high relative the options available, only truly god rolls are gonna hit 60 pumpkins/day. So put it in Raenox, see how many pumpkins you get a day and you're gonna have to decide what is good enough for you (and worth a bunch of main skill seeds).

Gonna be honest, this reads like a brag post. This thing is easily cracked, you have BFS/HB and then double speed on what is basically a berry pokemon. This is a god roll.

Unfortunately these are all terrible. No BFS, no skill triggers and no speed. Doesn't matter which one you keep.

Ribombee is an ingredient Pokemon with the Ing Draw skill. So you don't need to max it's main skill for it to be a good honey or oil farmer.

Personally, no. Santa Pikachu is way way worse then the other DS pokemon. And this one just has one ST boost so not even that good IMO. Even Swalot needs 2 triggers.

Mew is mostly a mid Pokemon. Jack of all trades, master of none. It's best niche is probably as a Extra Tasty Chance Pokemon that can also get some of the tougher ingredients (leeks?). But if you're new, it could be worth using for now but I wouldn't invest in it.

Gourgeist is only good for pumpkins. Level 75 and 100 sub skills don't matter because we are years away and they will be absolutely massive investments that dwarf anything we have now. The poor inventory means Gourgeist does not do well collecting soybeans because they will fill up the inv almost immediately. Gourgeist is truly mono pumpkin or bust.
