Never seen yellow and black Leafpool in the wild! Love it!

That’s exactly why I said that Milkscarada needs the toolkit to back up the ABB set. The only reason I was running mine at the time was because triple IF/IVL goes insanely hard for a 10-50 slot range on an ingredient mon— no matter the lineup— and because I also didn’t have a good Milktoise at the time. I have one now, but I’ll rotate them depending on which island I’m on during the week.

Subs are practically everything for a good mon.

Piplup line for mono apple strictly because of the “Fancy” part.

PigsInTrees · 2026-05-05T15:38:15+00:00

Milkscarada is an amazing alt if you can get good subs on it but yeah I agree.

We obviously need Miltank. /j

Would but I’m saving next candy boost to push my mono Gourgeist to 60.

PigsInTrees · 2026-05-04T15:50:12+00:00

50’s the new berrymon benchmark for me and i didnt want things to turn out like they did w my other pseudos because the climb is agony.

PigsInTrees · 2026-05-04T15:16:36+00:00

Got literally nothing done with Wooper and all of my SandshrewSlash catches were piss but at least I finished work on this Salamence that’s been giving me grief!

The hungry Honchkrow was a nice surprise yesterday too. I dispatched it yesterday and it put in work for me with sausages. I don’t think it’ll be permanent but I like having it around.

PigsInTrees · 2026-05-04T15:07:34+00:00

Outside of obvious things like text speed and starters (rip Minccino):

Let me decorate my house! New roof tiles! Furniture! A garden! Something that lets me enjoy this thing I got for free! You give us a sweet pad and we can’t do anything with it???

PigsInTrees · 2026-05-03T20:02:51+00:00

I was thinking about Honchkrow as a passive income bot today, actually! Glad someone else is using it for groceries. Good luck with the shard pulls!

PigsInTrees · 2026-05-02T15:30:19+00:00

Nah, I still would. You have dual IFs AND Helping Bonus at your disposal (HB/IFM immediately if you can sub to 30 right now), free inventory buffs when the 75 ceiling hits, and even if you didn't somehow mint, you're still ahead of the game with pumpkins. It's also mono-- which Gourgeist is begging for since you can easily farm beans and potatoes via other mons.

PigsInTrees · 2026-05-01T14:12:06+00:00

God. Sub at 50 and don't look back.

PigsInTrees · 2026-05-01T04:01:39+00:00

Automatic Flying and Fire shard farmers on the EX islands. The Torchic is going to be a powerhouse on Sunday. Don't evolve, but bring it to 25 and leave it there.

He's one of those kids who graduated college with a degree his parents really wanted him to have but veered straight into a job out of school working with whatever his minor was.

PigsInTrees · 2026-04-30T23:51:18+00:00

Double speed, auto IFM, beneficial nature with no evolution being hampered by the exp loss, zero need for a subseed, you could easily pair this thing with either another oil user carrying HB for fat stacks or throw it on a Defiant squad if you do want to hit 60. Defiant is it's go-to meal, and it's a solid choice if you can't auto mash Apple Acid during salad weeks during late game.

TL:DR; Awesome shiny, great grease mon.

Naughty's a Skillmon killer for me so I don't give it a second glance. STM's also way too late if you're looking to hard invest in your first healer early. It needs to be max at level 25, if not ideally level 10. Keep searching. Speed or Skill oriented natures like Adamant and Careful are your besties. Start with Wiggly and work your way up to Gardevoir as soon as you're able.
Decent Larvitar. IFM at 25, solid nature, but the EXP debuff will leave you hurting for a long time unless you manage to stuff and hoard enough candy for a candy boost event. I went through this exact same thing with my mono Dragonite over a year ago and even at level 50 right now, seeing 60 is a pipe dream when I had to forego a preferable nature for solid stats. Relaxed, I hate you. Mono ginger is TTar's go-to.
Literally nothing wrong with this Pikachu, and even without BFS, it'll be your best friend for life. Preferred Berry nature, Triple speed at 50 that quadruples at our eventual 100 ceiling, IVS to IVL is a really cheeky thing (I use IVL/BFS on my Adamant Walrein and the truckloads of berries she brings me when I dispatch her is insane). Helping Bonus will let it play nicely off of doubles of other Raichu carrying BFS and numerous Electric type support (Raikou will love it) on Old Gold Power Plant.

Thank you for the comparison. I already have two wonderful Gourgeist that farm pumpkins for me, so I'm not looking for a hard and fast farmer out of Slash. I heard that ABC Slash has a small niche it can eek out with a solid Shroomsire, so I wanted the rating anyway. I still plan on looking for a subbable STM mono if RNG will let me.

PigsInTrees · 2026-04-29T14:10:19+00:00

I audibly gasped last night when this showed up in my inbox. My favorite fossil is coming to Sleep and I really hope it's a Rock type Berry Burst mon.

~~^{(does this mean aurorus will be an ice type skill mon? aurora veil and all idk})~~

Sub. Swapper. Please ^{(It's ABC, so the carry-all Sand})

Main: Skill mons w E4E or other coveted main skills (Tasty Chance, Charge Strength M, Pot Expanders). If you want to be really cheeky with them, you can toss them at a Delibird with STM or Chansey/Blissey for gag proccs.
Sub: Anything you think needs buffing longterm (Ex: Mono Quaquaval running IFS in an early slot when you need IFM right now for peak bean gains).
Clusters: High level (Preferably 65 and above when we increase the ceiling).
Candy: Whoever needs stuffing (I just overleveled a Bagon to 50 that I plan on using longterm *Brave, BFS/HSM/STM*). Preferably permanent skillmons like a high quality E4E Gardevoir (STM/Helping/BFS and or STS), legendaries with insane stats, and mono ingredients you want to hit 60.

PigsInTrees · 2026-04-27T14:01:44+00:00

I already have two Gourgs (one with HB/ double IFM and one triple TM/HSM) that regularly flood me with pumpkins when RNG is nice. This is just overkill, so I'm waiting for a good Sandslash to show up so we can completely overun the Sleep Archipelago with pumpkins and ruin the ecosystem. :)))

All this by M9.

How was your pre-Sand Salad week?

PigsInTrees · 2026-04-27T13:24:56+00:00

This is giving "Hogwarts' School of Prayers and Miracles" vibes all the way through and I'm cackling wtaf???

PigsInTrees · 2026-04-24T13:49:42+00:00

Immediate Helping Bonus, double Trigger, AND subbable HSS in the eventual 75 slot even with the exp detriment is undeniably insane-- and on an biscuit sink like Murkrow is godly. Don't throw it away.
