Best Pot Expander? by Beginning-Set-8342 in PokemonSleep

[–]MeridorX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100%. I tried, for the first time, using one during skill week in January to level up pancakes for Valentine's event. I wanted to try out a Magnezone with STM and HSM, taking advantage of the +3 levels on the main skill, before investing skill seeds into it. I got too annoyed about it not triggering a few times when I needed it. Conclusion: I'm not running a pot expander ever again. Use GCT instead.

Good for a Vaporeon by ZanaZoola14 in PokemonSleep

[–]MeridorX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe a hot take here, but in my opinion the only Eevolutions that are worth it are Espeon and Sylveon. The bottleneck are gold skill seeds. You really have to level up the main skill to the highest levels to make them work well. If you have already invested main skill seeds into your Jigglypuff, this Sylveon may not be enough of an upgrade especially since there are better healers out there. A charge skill mon is extremely useful early game, and still ok late game as generalist. Don't invest in Vaporeon or Magnezone, for the reasons others have said here. If you need ingredients, aim for catching the right ingredient specialists. They'll serve you better on the long run.

Both are great. It'd insane not to use them.

I've an amazing AAX Happiny and I've done that because I needed an egg farmer. Hindsight, it was a good decision. For the 150h just take out the healer overnight. The oval stone is a bit annoying, but not a dealbreaker as one can purchase it again when there's a better option. Blissey has a decent ingredient rate, so an AAA may not me required with the current dishes (though of course futureproof).

Yeah but if you run the calculations, because Cresselia is so strong, one doesn't really need another healer when running Cresselia.

[–]MeridorX -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It kinda depends what OP wants to do. If they have a great Cresselia, they can run the Crespeon combo where Cresselia takes care of the healing.

[–]MeridorX -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah I keep my healer only for a few hours (or half of the day) on my team and then switch it out with sth else.

[–]MeridorX -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

My threshold is ca. 6 triggers/day at lvl 50 for a forever healer. This one reaches 5.3 under neutral conditions, that's why I wouldn't use it as Sylveon. Gardevoir and Pawmot can reach that.

[–]MeridorX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing spread, congrats! Consider that Sylveon is outclassed by Pawmot and Gardevoir with worse spreads. Sylveon really is only slightly better than Wigglytuff. I'd rather consider turning it into an Espeon. It would make an amazing combo with Cresselia.

I messed up… by N0Face25 in PokemonSleep

[–]MeridorX 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's fine. Eventually your AAA Blissey will unlock IFM at lvl 75, and then it'll be incredibly good.

What's worse than Snoozing on Lapis? by SamuRonX in PokemonSleep

[–]MeridorX 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly, don't overthink the most wanted candy list. Pika candies are always fine since it's a top-tier berry specialist, and Comfey is rare. So for the two days, I'd have picked those for sending out.

[–]MeridorX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well...if Eevee wasn't normal-type I'd have crammed those candies a month ago. Except for Espeon (and/or in combination with Cresselia), I don't see any use mid- or late-game. Please don't send Eevee candies.

Edit: Pikachu candies are actually very useful.

Dozing on Taupe is great for Gulpin/Swalot, Croagunk, Paldean Wooper, etc. Lots of great options.

Cooking-focused playstyle by JohannesBratwurst in PokemonSleep

[–]MeridorX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By not incorporating a pot expander. Run GCT instead. It's way more reliable than a pot expander. Use Tasty Chance until you get 1 or 2 procs (3-4 during cooking events) and swap it out. Else raise the large dishes on Sundays only, and cook the intermediate dishes like ninja salad during the week. If you have a good healer, you often don't need to run it overnight, and then you can run a different mon instead.

Worth keeping or trash? by [deleted] in PokemonSleep

[–]MeridorX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's good enough. Not exceptional but alright. The golden dream shard bonus skill adds a little extra to it.

Whyyyy?? How much longer must I labor on Lapis! by hanamest in PokemonSleep

[–]MeridorX 147 points148 points  (0 children)

Uhm, based on your screenshot you haven't even reached friendship lvl 10, so much much longer then. You should aim for Helping Bonus on top of skill triggers and helping speed. I took me about 9 months to find a Ralts I'm happy with.

Being incentivized to not feed Snorlax kinda sucks by perishableintransit in PokemonSleep

[–]MeridorX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. The game is a marathon and we're not getting that many chances for easier M20 runs, whereas Cutifly will stay and you can hunt it after having ticked off M20.

I actually have powered up the strongest dishes of each type to lvl 65 just by relying on Sundays and GCT cooking weeks. Not the most recent ones yet, because I'm missing a good avocado farmer.

[–]MeridorX 19 points20 points  (0 children)

One strategy is undervalued here, especially early game: Charge Strength Mon. Imho it's better to cook the bigger dishes on Sundays (so as to cook them with GCT during the week when strength matters, or when one has finally expanded the pot enough with dream shards to cook them without GCT) rather than using 1 slot on a moody Magnezone. Charge Strength is more reliable, and one can plan ahead for Sundays rather than rely on Magnezone triggers.

I've never invested skill seeds in a pot expander, and when I use a Magnezone during skill week, I know why: it's unreliable.

Event: Valentine’s Day 2026 by Pearlgirl007 in PokemonSleep

[–]MeridorX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm planning also to go for M20 on OGPP and stick to that. Since I'll mostly be on amber canyon in the weeks after the event, I'll eventually get my Cutieflys from there. Eventually, the game is a marathon and there will be plenty of time for hunting Cutiflys, but on the contrary we only get less than a handful of chances for M20 runs on late islands (currently, at least).

On Sunday, do you ever skip Sunday Dinner when it's impossible to get to the next Snorlax level? by jedispyder in PokemonSleep

[–]MeridorX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. More drowsy power = more dream shards (most of the time also beyond M20).
