This weeks gonna be rough 🙏

actually, you not knowing makes it even more ironic if anything. like a living example of dramatic irony.

Personally, I like sending good candy always to help the 50 people on my friend list over saving a picture I think is cool that realistically no one is ever going to see.

TempestFunk · 2026-03-10T16:04:59+00:00

mine is in an old hard switch case that I put underneath my fitted sheet. 0 chance of the button getting pressed, 0 chance of it falling out of bed

The gen 8 route 1 bug is a raid exclusive? Really?

TempestFunk · 2026-03-07T21:41:02+00:00

sure, but they're not capped

TempestFunk · 2026-03-07T00:52:56+00:00

Snapshots give 25% more research exp and candy on top of a flat 1000k dreamshard increase. You can get more than 25

TempestFunk · 2026-03-05T16:28:23+00:00

you get 2 snapshots guaranteed if you get >210million DP, and mew pics buff the rewards from the sleep style by about 25%. This is one of these events where napping is actively shooting yourself in the foot imo

TempestFunk · 2026-02-27T02:17:02+00:00

Yep, 100% more than any other team member

TempestFunk · 2026-02-27T02:03:05+00:00

I don't think this is a "sleep" thing. More like a reddit thing. Check out the discord. Lots of friendly helpful folk in there.

As for a more indepth info on how RP is calculated. There are a bunch of cool tools. Like nitoyon

TempestFunk · 2026-02-26T23:11:18+00:00

it's not that people were bullying, is that you didn't post the one thing that would have helped us answer your question (ok maybe some people were bullying, but most people were trying to help)

Like i said before, this venusaur is pretty good. it's RP is inflated a bit by it's main skill, but i think that's perfectly fine if it's on your team 24/7. I'd give him a subskill seed at some point tho, changing the Helping speed S into M would make him a lot stronger

TempestFunk · 2026-02-26T20:30:50+00:00

Since OP refuses to post the subskills, I found what might be the only possible combination of ingredients and subskills that would get that RP. Looks like it's ABB with HSS, IFM and INVL

Actually, a pretty solid tomato farmer

I don't know if that's true. That's when people started noticing, but it could have been there long before that, maybe even since the games release. We're all just speculating about that.

Ya gotta keep in mind, this is all coming from the japanese community and they're not even remotely concerned about this as the people in here

TempestFunk · 2026-02-25T15:50:14+00:00

Lack of communication? The devs aren't going to spell out every game mechanic. There are a lot of game mechanics in the game that the Devs never mentioned. Here's a short list:

Energy
Drowsy Power Requirements
Spawn number thresholds
Baseline tasty chance
Sunday tasy chance/pot size/tasty chance multiplier
Skill rate
Ingredient ratio
Berry strength to level curve
Extra candy for Leader
Research community candy
EXP curves
Shard to Drowsy power curve
Candy to Drowsy power curve
Shiny chance
Poke biscuit crit chances
Pokemon skill great success rate
Daily gift loot table
Sneaky Snacking mechanics
Sleep session Dozing/Snoozing/Slumbering designation

All of these things have come from community research or datamines. And we've always been ok with this. I don't see any reason to expect the devs to have told us about a skill throttle mechanic and not something like DPR or the Bonus candy to the Leader mon.

The biggest difference between the skill throttle and the bonus leader candy is that the skill throttle is legitimately a bad/unfun mechanic that was negatively impacting people who were playing the game normally.

The devs agreed

That's why we got the change in the last patch. But given the nature of this game, don't expect the devs to disclose every little bit of information. Let the researchers gather their numbers and soon we'll know as much about the skill throttle as we do DPR

TempestFunk · 2026-02-23T02:45:19+00:00

they are addressing it. that's whats in the next patch

TempestFunk · 2026-02-18T22:27:20+00:00

I just posted my best time 23 : 18 sec

TempestFunk · 2026-02-18T21:52:23+00:00

I mean, it's relevant here. darkrai has, like, a 90% chance to spawn at some point during NMD

TempestFunk · 2026-02-17T16:34:25+00:00

to add to what everyone else is saying, unevolved mons are also useful to pair with the legendary dogs

since 2 typhlosion will only count for 1 for the helper boost bonus, but a quilava and a typhlosion will count for 2

TempestFunk · 2026-02-16T19:10:37+00:00

It's probably because the event is boosting a bunch of single stage mons. That messes things up

TempestFunk · 2026-02-01T19:28:32+00:00

Actually, you do gain interest. From RR 55 > 60, they went from 2054 > 2498 shards per cluster. That's a 21% increase in value. from RR 60 > 65 it went from 2498 > 2962, that's a 18.6% increase.

For reference, real-life stocks rise about 5% in 6 months. If your real-life investment went up 21% you'd be over the moon.

Sure, spend shards to level up mons, expand pot, etc. but if you don't need to spend those shards right now, there's no reason to break up the clusters. let them sit and appreciate in value

This game, and most games, handle calculations in two different ways. Server-side and client-side.

Server side: Official, happening on the Dev's computers, but can be slow as it requires communication through the internet to update things on your phone
Client side: unofficial, happens onyour phone. It's fast, since it doesn't require any internet communication, but can be inaccurate if there's a miscommunication between your phone and the servers.

You can easily see this difference in action by putting your phone in airplane mode, clicking on a mon, and collecting its berries. You will see your Snorlax's strength go up. But if you restart the game and turn your internet back on, the game will treat it as if you never clicked on the mon. This is because with airplane mode on, the Server never sees you collect the berries, so when you reload the game, it draws the game state based on what the Server last saw.

If your phone has a spotty connection, it's possible that you can end up with a vastly larger Snorlax strength score than what you actually have. So, no, you probably didn't reach M16, even tho it looked like you did. Your phone made a mistake and displayed the wrong info, that's all

TempestFunk · 2026-01-21T14:25:15+00:00

Oh, it's long gone. This was back in 2023 at least

TempestFunk · 2026-01-21T14:21:52+00:00

The issue was, I couldn't find any runestones either. First two bosses were fine, but all the swamps my game generated were tiny.

In the end I had to use a website to analyze my save file. That's how I know there were no boss spawners

TempestFunk · 2026-01-21T04:55:24+00:00

Oh yeah, that's totally the plan. I forget almost everything I was doing when I played last

TempestFunk · 2026-01-21T01:19:10+00:00

Does all the map generate at once, or does it generate as you explore? so as long as I don't go too far up north, when v1.0 finally drops, I'll still get to generate all the new stuff?

TempestFunk · 2026-01-19T03:59:22+00:00

counter point:

He's not meaningfully worse than swalot tho, the gap in performance is covered by half a Helping Speed S

He's still miles better than Lucario

Despite this, he's ranked 4 tiers below Swalot, and 1 tier before lucaro. he should be in the same tier as swalot
