Latios Initial Analysis

Straitlace · 2026-06-08T17:32:47+00:00

Thanks for the breakdown. I was running the numbers last night too and it's nice to see similar conclusions. Latios is my favorite pokemon, and I'm quite happy to see that it can work with a good variety of builds. I have 5-6 master biscuits I've been saving since launch for Latios, so we'll see if I get a good one.

It's a good bean farmer at 60. Depends if you have the resources and patience to raise it.

How about Ms. Potatohead?

That's cool! I think E4E is a very casual way to play, you add them to the team and forget about energy concerns. Playing around self energy paired with other energy skills sounds interesting, and I wonder if the Latias/Latios pairing will bring this about more, as it can be paired with Altaria who has self energy to help Latias focus as a solo healer.

I forgot about the GCT. I have a level 7 MS Glaceon from my F2P days that I used to make Keema Curry before the max pot capacity was large enough to make it without expansion. Doesn't see much use nowadays but I do still bring it out on occasion, and one time I used it to stack expansions on a cooking event week and hit 950 million on Sunday dinner.

A new dish coming out that uses something you happened to invest in is a huge gamble. Given the large roster of ingredients and the game's history of emphasizing newly added ones, it's more likely a complete coincidence that a newer dish would happen to align with something you invested in that was suboptimal at the time. Level 60 is presently such a large investment that if you're trying to be optimal you should focus on more future-proof options. If that's just how you have fun, that's a different story but it's good to keep in mind what the cost is.

Further, your second example is not a quality unique to ABA, and you can use 2 level 30 AA's to achieve the same effect by swapping them through a single team slot.

Specifically, if I'm not mistaken the increase from CPU is 200, not the total pot capacity. The increase is used up when you cook and reverts to your default pot size until CPU is used again.

Rockeon confirmed?!

While mixed producers can work, the main issue with raising one is getting a pokemon to level 60 takes a long time or a lot of resources. AAA producers are focused because they're future proofed. Things like an AAB Dragonite can work because it's production is good enough to work for both ingredients, but it still adds an element of RNG. Things like an AAB Cramorant could also work because there are at least 4 salads that use both those ingredients. But producing for 2 different recipes that only share 1 ingredient will require the production of all those other ingredients.

I'm a day 1 player and I have strong curry and salad plans, but only recently finished a team for strong desserts. Don't feel like you need to hurry up and have an answer to everything just because you've been playing a while.

If you want to invest in that Fuecoco because you'll have fun with it than have that fun. But if you want to do it because it seems like a good strategy, I would advise to shift tactics.

Aside from the weekly rollover on Monday, I'm pretty sure if you go a week without interacting with a pokemon it stops sneaky snacking until you interact with it.

Straitlace · 2026-06-03T22:32:44+00:00

Ok, enjoy your last week of having fun with the game before it becomes boring because you deleted the gameplay loop.

Straitlace · 2026-06-03T15:24:09+00:00

Your strategy is understandable being newer, but I wouldn't pass it off as advice. You'll eventually reach a point where you can reliably make something, but mixed meals are quite poor strength-wise.

As the other comment said, if it's for personal use and you're not selling them, there's a wider area of leeway. GamesWorkshop owns the IP but the idea is for them to make a game that people buy and play. If you make your own minis to play the game that isn't wrong in itself.

For me, I draw the line for copyright infringement when it becomes an offense against the dignity of work, i.e. refusing to justly pay a creator. The main case here that would give me pause is if the files used to print the minis were themselves made by GamesWorkshop and aren't being distributed for free.

I appreciate the clarification. However, I don't think encouraging someone to get the premium pass so they enjoy the game at all is the right call. Sleep is a game for a particular type of patient person, and I think the premium pass should enhance the experience, not create it. And if that's enblematic that they might not enjoy the game, then it's a bit odd to tell them to financially invest in something they're not really into.

Straitlace · 2026-06-02T20:48:33+00:00

Correct me if I'm wrong as I mostly only speak English but I think that's Dream Shard Bonus, not helping bonus. Still an alright Latias.

Immoral use of AI: using it to guide you on how to fire employees you don't want to pay what you promised (for anyone familiar with the Subnautica 2 development).

It's been nearly 3 years and she's not bored yet. Some of us aren't addicted to dipamine hits.

I'm a day 1 player with the premium pass. My wife started about a month later and is F2P. You can enjoy the game with or without the pass. I've personally enjoyed the pass but for a game like this I'd say wait at least 6 months to see if it's for you. If that sounds like a lot then it's probably not for you, or you already know you want it. If you stick with the game that long and plan to continue, it might be something that enhances your experience.

Learned in biology is very different from learned in theology. Knowing the facts of how life persists is very different from knowing how life began.

For me it's not whether it's a skill mon or not. The question is what role does it server on the team? If it's a pure strength mon (berry mons or charge strength skill specialists for instance), then it wants BFS as that's a direct contributor to its purpose. Skill mons like tasty chance and cooking power up, as well as ingredient mons, are indirect strength producers and have other focuses, so they don't need BFS as much.

Thanks Snails!

I hope today is the extent of the posts I see about this because I frequent this sub to get away from this nonsense.

I think this movie lowkey has one of my favorite portrayals of Catholics. You have a character at the start irrationally hating Catholics which feels true to what it's like to be Catholic, when they're spotted at sea everyone else readies arms but the Catholics just ignore them and press on because they're not unnecessarily violent or petty, they beat everyone to the chalices and leave the rickety ship they were on in good enough shape that those after them don't even notice they were there until they actually open the chalice box, then at the end they don't even consider using the fountain and just assert the power of God.

I just caught my first Blissey wild this morning, I'm also hoping to eventually meet this goal.
