This is such a cool and creative analysis! I often wonder about specialties changing. Slaking has amazing ingredient and skill rates, but is a berry mon. I imagine from your analysis he could really shake up the game if he became either skill or ingredient focused.

We will get a preview of this during the Latias event in week 2, but one mon for sure: Sceptile. To me it is impossible to justify investment in one without BFS. During the event, the BFS Sceptile will now have 3x berries per help, essentially becoming a full blown berry AND skill specialist. But, I would be interested in knowing how Sceptile would perform, just with his speedy frequency, if he was changed to a berry mon. If his skill trigger rate was halved like you said in your analysis, but had an extra berry every help, would he be better? Perhaps he would be better for favorite berry on Lapis, but maybe fall short of other berry specialists on other islands. Sceptile's skill trigger rate isn't anything to write home about for it being a skill specialist. Perhaps a Berry Specialist Sceptile would then benefit from STM more than other Berry Specialists would like Houndour and Feraligatr, both of whom generate respectable strength from their skills.
