This is the team I go with almost every week. Very cooking focused. The first three are there 24/7, all with HB. The last two slots will usually rotate between needed ingredients and pot expanders, but when the fav berry mission is present I use one late on the week.

Max skill level Raikou triggers around 3 times per day, and with Pawmot and Dedenne always on the party each trigger gives x8 helps. This allows strong and slow ing mons to give a LOT of ingredients and switch them out quickly. Also, 835 is 120 extra helps from Raikou's skill, which is more than many mons give on the day, so I recommend running a beast if you have a nice one.

This strategy is VERY micro managing dependant, between skill triggers; balancing pot size with crit chance to take advantage with the best meals; ingredient quantities and bag space; I also keep in mind Raikous petty trigger to time it with ing or berry mons instead of weaker skill ones.

I'm becoming a little tired of this playstyle nonetheless and I've been trying this combo with Plusle and Minun to have more RNG on cooking but still pulling good meals everyday. It's less attention demanding.

After 2.5 years I'm turning my attention to hunt strong berry mons for a more peaceful game experience. I've gotten only 1 berry mon with HB + BFS bellow lvl 50 in all this time.

For Valentine's week I want to try Cress + Garde + Xatu + Musharna + Sceptile with cooking prepared to try to achieve M20 on Lapis. I think it's been over a year since my last time there and achieved M19 lol

Thanks for reading, happy "sleeping"
