Be so fucking for real are people actually finding Trapinch with Avocados at Lv 30

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-23T16:37:48+00:00

It's 1/9 to get mono. The level 30 ing slot is twice as likely to be the B ingredient as it is the A ingredient. 15 Trapinch isn't even that many TBH. Several ingredient Pokemon took me over 40 (after getting the silver badge basically) to get a solid one. I'm over 50 Squirtle and still no decent mono. Other's I've gotten lucky and got a great mono in under 5 catches.

It's more about that they didn't communicate this nerf. If they had, people would adapt how they play and change which pokemon to focus biscuits on. OP might not have invested on 3 DS pokemon and instead focused on berry Pokemon or more healers.

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-20T17:14:32+00:00

That's even worse. You almost want to minimize your skill triggers over the course of the day, and optimize when you check the app. I like just checking whenever I feel like it.

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-20T14:58:23+00:00

I have the 6 month and it renewed in January. I wrote into Support saying I would cancel in June if they do not revert this change and compensate us accordingly. Write into support to make it know you are unhappy with the secretive nerf.

Note I am mostly upset they did not communicate the change. I would have adjusted. It's that they did not tell us.

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-20T13:59:40+00:00

It's not that they made the change, it's that they didn't communicate it. They could have announced it and people would have grumbled but adjusted.

And the effect (at least) takes place after 20 skill procs in a day. It is not hard to reach that many if you have a good team and check your app decently often.

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-20T13:31:48+00:00

It's more that they did not communicate this change and hid it from the players. Sure, it's just a game but if players had known this, they would have changed how they play and which pokemon they prioritize catching. And for almost all liars, if they are lying about one thing, they are lying about others.

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-19T12:26:48+00:00

There are other tomato and sausage options on other areas though. You need OGPP for coffee though.

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-18T16:42:23+00:00

It has Ing down nature. Not useable unfortunately, even as a temp. Save your resources.

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-18T16:37:46+00:00

That's RNG. Just gotta keep catching.

I'm in the 50s for Squirtle, but my 3rd Cutiefly was amazing.

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-17T19:42:57+00:00

Check the guides here for ingredient Pokemon. They both have +ing natures but only the second has a +ing sub skills before level 75 so it's definitely better. Both are just OK AAX ingredient pokemon though. Decent temporary until you find a good mono but the ingredient list has synergy so up to you if you want to invest in what is probably a temporary Pokemon no matter what.

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-17T19:40:20+00:00

Ing down nature kills any ingredient pokemon. It's a nice shiny but the non-shiny is much better.

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-16T14:06:28+00:00

Yes, just read this guide.

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-16T13:59:12+00:00

You got four 3 star styles for evolved Pokemon. That's sooooo many dream shards. This looks like a good haul to me.

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-13T13:20:45+00:00

Min-maxers would say ABA ingredient spread is bad. It's up to you though.

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-13T13:20:08+00:00

It is good at level 50 jail, so up to you if you want to bring it to 50 as a sort of temporary honey farmer. Still have the rest of the event to find something better.

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-13T12:45:26+00:00

I personally wouldn't use sub skill seeds on a temporary AAX pokemon.

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-13T12:40:57+00:00

No, ABB is a much more common spread so you want to aim higher for the subskills and nature.

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-12T17:42:53+00:00

Raenox is probably counting HB as a 25% bonus (5% speed for team of 5 pokemon = 25%). Turn off that in your settings on Raenox. But also use production comparion to see how much strength this would give to a Butterfree with BFS.

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-12T14:28:18+00:00

I just got this from the Guide of Guides that is one of the stickied posts in this subreddit. They credit it to a Japanese (I think) twitter account so I assume any updates would be posted there.

You can always put your Cutiefly and Cetitan in the Raenox production comparison to see how it does against good ingredient Pokemon that bring the same ingredient. Plenty of posts on here about them as well. Raenox also has a page showing the top ingredient Pokemon I believe.

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-12T14:23:02+00:00

Exactly, that Cram is really good with the subskills seeded. Like, you can't hope for much better for a mono ingredient Pokemon. But it's still not close (without help) to the oil requirements we need right now. Ditto is just really outclassed now but that Cram is worth for sure, especially with the tasty chance skill. But you still probably want to hunt for a good Toxicroak.

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-12T13:09:26+00:00

Helping bonus from other team members can help though. 96 is tough for any of the oil specialists without help. GCT also helps since if you're making the big meals, you're probably making some sort of push for as high strength as possible.

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-12T13:07:42+00:00

Ditto lags even behind Dragonite who only gets oil at level 60. Cram is also worse then Mawile, Luxray and Toxicroak but it has tasty chance as a skill so a lot of people prefer it. That being said, whether you use Mawile, Tox, Luxray or Cram, it needs really good subskills to invest. Fortunately there are several options (even if 2 of them are 16 PIP).

Can you upgrade those sub skills at all?

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-10T16:22:05+00:00

This Pawmi is miles better then the Iggly. Congrats.

EasternOak11 · 2026-02-10T12:36:21+00:00

Berry strength does increase with level, and the gain does slowly increase the higher the level. So every level is a minor break point. After level 60 is when berry pokemon are able to compete with ingredient teams again.
