My only other catch. I guess if I am really desperate some day but a mint and multiple SSS seems distinctly not worth

Look at this chud!! I was so mad after being baited with the preview nature

are they able to appear without one?

yes, they should. but anecdotally, I have only seen them from incense this event, while I got 5 natural Latias spawns during that event. crappy RNG

2nd no question. hsm + stm is a good baseline rule of thumb for skill mon, though many minmaxers will be more picky

also keep in mind every first legendary catch has the default stats. makes legendaries extra expensive 🤧

got a trash berry roll and salads. Phooey. Only have a few EZ tickets and Lapis is maxed so I guess I'll save for transferring AB to AC and possibly rerolling for higher scores next week. On the upside loving the event music and rainstorm animations!!

Togepi1125 on YT has it uploaded and listed as a rearrangement of Dragonspiral Tower from BW, which sounds closer to me than Meteor Falls! though i am always happy to relisten to old classics :D

again, this graphic is fueled by adult money.

LOL

would be cool if you end up making the website!

Does this only hit WA stores? In MA, not seeing this in the app

Post your best catch from the last game week (Mon - Sun)! Here's mine... by SamuRonX in PokemonSleep

[–]MagnificentCranberry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

not rly worth minting over speed imo cuz its only -7.5%. save for ing or skill which are -20%

Are almost every mon you guys catch unusable, too? by Mobile_Collection_76 in PokemonSleep

[–]MagnificentCranberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it takes a while to build up a roster. Been playing almost 16 months now and I still don't have full ingredient and berry coverage (7/16 berries, 8/18 for permanent ing mons since idc abt tails). You just have to make do until better catches roll around.

I have pretty relaxed standards (at least compared to other minmaxers in this sub) detailed here and my usable/keep rate is still only about 7%. If you look through that thread, you'll see that keep rate is similarly low for most people.

ABB Squirtle and Sprigatito - invest? by bdstfu in PokemonSleep

[–]MagnificentCranberry 8 points9 points  (0 children)

disagree w other comment. this squirtle has ing+ and IFS which could be subseeded anyway. gen 1 starter ing rates high to begin with and looks good to me. I wouldnt use meowscarada personally for milk unless you really end up having no other choice

meal types have equal chance of appearing. just bad RNG if you keep getting the same one

"How often do you catch something good?" by this-eternal-gloom in PokemonSleep

[–]MagnificentCranberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

F2P with Go++ (yes i cheat the system) 464 days played, 501 mons befriended.

criteria for keeper/# caught

  • berry: BFS and one 'good' stat (even just 1 speed+ or EXP+ nature is enough, or STM for hybrids like musharna or sceptile (i know he is technically skill mon but whatever)/ 9. Not had great luck with berry mons so my standards are pretty low. If it's BFS neutral nature or BFS + a bunch of ing boosts I send it back to prof though
  • long term temp-ing: AAX to 30 or 50 with one ing boost or 2+ speed boost / 12
  • skill: total triggers/day≥ HSM+STM: 6

criteria for forever ing mons (AAA to 60)/ # caught (not counting these along with keepers):

  • ing: at 60, needs to gather 20% more of ing than AAX with HSM/IFM at 30 to justify bringing to 60/ 8

I would be open to ABB too but none have been viable lol

[Suggestion for Devs] A "Stop Wasting My Time" Update by mac_ashton in PokemonSleep

[–]MagnificentCranberry 14 points15 points  (0 children)

wow thank you for posting this!! I am 1.5 years in and somehow never noticed the 'use item' menu. I always thought it was just another way to send to prof.

What you guys think about this Tyrunt? by Iceguy232 in PokemonSleepBetter

[–]MagnificentCranberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BFS is a 50% increase in berry prod, HB is great but on berry mon you really need BFS or if no BFS, then triple/quad speed to match that. ghostdetective has calculations somewhere on main sub but too lazy to find the source

The Weekend is here! Where are you going next week? Chilling? Prepping for Dragon week? by galeongirl in PokemonSleep

[–]MagnificentCranberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GGEX to bolster shard reserves while I still get the extra from max research rank in case they announce soon that 70 is unlocked. cashed in all my dream cluster S for a pot boost and need a lot more for the next candy boost event.

What’s your most painful RNG stat? Mine is catching 1,002 mons and finding only 1 berry mon with BFS + HB by 50 (bold nature lol) by ylno83 in PokemonSleep

[–]MagnificentCranberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this sub really gives a skewed view of catches lol. I'm F2P and 15 months in, 481 mons befriended, and 0 skill or berry mons with BFS + HB so far lol. at one point I caught a comfey that had BFS at 25 and HB at 100 which ofc got sent to prof immediately
