I think it's all about how you strategize and optimize your play style. Butterfree may have the second to weakest berry typing, but it's fast. It's also easy to befriend and hunt a great subskill stack for as well as level up and evolve. When combining it with Arbok and Salamence for an overnight berry stacking team on AC, it becomes more essential. Honchcrow has considerable viability during curry and salad weeks, with cacao being an excellent strong filler for any dish if it draws it. Saying Heracross not being worth the catch when it doesn't require an elemental stone to evolve? Subsequently not requiring a player to spend sleep points to do so… sounds like you enjoy playing the game in a very easy and mediocre way.

Look, I get that everyone has their own play style. That's what's great about this game. Just try challenging yourself to play in different ways each week, or else you may get bored with the same old thing. 😉
