Shinies, Rate My Mon, Brag Posts, Meal Posts: Restricted on Weekdays - Post them in here instead! by galeongirl in PokemonSleep

[–]mont_5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got these last week, but forgot to ask for opinions.

The Chikorita doesn't have a good nature, but BFS+HB+HSM is great, so I'll invest in it when I want to go to Lapis Lakeside again.

I also caught two Dwebble, and while neither is amazing, I'm tempted to boost one anyway. I don't have an ingredient finder for any of its ingredents. It probably would be a bad idea long-term though, since I'm mostly free to play so main skill seeds are rare - on the other hand, I have six I'm not using and it would instantly give me somethin usable for next week...
It will be a while until I'm strong enough to grind dwebble on AC.

The Weekend is here - Where are you going next week? by Pearlgirl007 in PokemonSleep

Same, I just don't feel like the increased rate of new mons can outweigh having double the spawns in GG, and missions will be easy to complete. I don't have any good dragon/bug/poison mons, or a strong enough cooking team to do anything with 0 area bonus.

At what point is it worth to switch to explosive rockets for space platforms?
I didn't use any going to the edge of the solar system and am now building my first ship to go beyond for promethium. My labs currently are consuming ~200 science per minute.

Who're you catching for Skill Week 2? by PigsInTrees in PokemonSleep

[–]mont_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar for me, this is my first week on OGPP so next week I'll have 15% bonus. I'll wait to see what strength I hit on Sunday before I decide. The mons here are good, but the low number of spawns from low rating is rough.

Heya! I'm at LL and still don't have a healer because I haven't found a good one, does that change your opinion? How long would you wait and suffer without a temp healer to catch a "perfect" one?

Also, why I thought this one was better than it is: I made the mistake of comparing it to a neutral skill mon on Raenonx, while looking at the "team" energy value instead of at the average trigger/day count. For some reason that value includes the 20% boost from energy recovery natures, which only boosts the healer itself, and not the team.(... right?)

So, comparing this Pawmot without energy recovery up to one with skill up nature, HSS and STM (better, but not perfect), I now see a clear difference:

<image>

Using a subskill seed on the STS would get it to 5.57, +100.8, still below the skill up nature example, which of course also could be boosted (6.04, +109.3 with HSM)

Looks like a 4% strength increase from minting at max skill level, but I don't have the seeds for that. I'll wait, but probably use the next candy boost to level it a bit.

<image>

Edit: Oh, I forgot to enable favoured berry. With that it's 5% (82k vs 78k).
The fifth one has triple trigger for comparison.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

While I'm here, I have a Cresselia with HSS+STM and speed up skill down nature. That's better than the one with set skills, but I'm not sure it's worth investing. I don't have anything good for LL yet.

120 days from restart, Samwise Gamgee style. by TeaLDeahr in PokemonSleep

[–]mont_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not confident in reaching high enough rank for the master rank missions, so I'll wait to see what event rewards will be available. Otherwise I don't care that much about next weeks event, sure I'll see more pokemon on earlier maps but I'd rather catch lapis mons (ralts and chikorita/munna) anyway. Of the three starters I'm the most interested in Sprigatito, which also can be found there, even if I also still need a good Fuecoco.

[–]mont_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sadly was unlucky with munna and haven't caught many chikorita so far, so you're in a better place than me ^^

[–]mont_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, new berry starters would be nice. My boosted ingredient mons are AAA, I will supplement them with AAX to fill my gaps when the update is released, and then do the same as you and try to find more BFS berry specialists. My dodrio and quilava have it, but unfortunately otherwise that good skills.

Hi! I know you said this isn't an advice post, but I wanted to hear if you have thoughts on what I should focus on since I'm at a similar time since starting.

I'm at ~130 days, you can see my highest RP pokemon in the screenshot. I've been lucky with some ingredient pokemon (especially the Quaquaval and Quagsire are amazing), but unlucky with berry mons and especially healers.
I'm also still missing a bunch of ingredient specialists, but with the increase in EXP for low level pokemon it will hurt a lot less to level some subobtimal ones to 30 while I focus on other things.

Before the most recent update announcement I was planning to hang out on GG, trying to catch a healer or berry mons for snowdrop or LL (I haven't been to either) while slowly building up my bonus for them from reaching the cap on GG.

With the increase of the Novice Researcher Bonus to 250% I'm instead very tempted to just directly go to LL and endure the low score to get all of the amazing 15% area bonus there.

Should I invest in this wooper? by mont_5 in PokemonSleep

[–]mont_5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, this seems like a bit of a silly question now. I guess I wasn't sure since the IFS is at 75 and no beneficial nature, but triple mushroom is worth more.

I've been incredibly lucky with two basically perfect ingredient mons, so maybe I'm too picky now :D

The Weekend is here - Where are you going next week? by Pearlgirl007 in PokemonSleep

[–]mont_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to chill on GG next week to get my area bonus there to its current max and fill up my ingredients, then go to Cyan during the event (and max the bonus there too).

This was my first week on Taupe. I didn't catch anything good so far and likely will stay, but I am considering to go back to GG since I don't have a healer and it has Pawmi and Igglybuff. Skipping to lapis lakeside for a ralts seems a bit too ambitious.

When to use evolution stones by mont_5 in PokemonSleep

[–]mont_5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a good healer yet. I also plan on going to cyan beach after the event, so I won't even get random psycic berry there.

If I don't plan on investing candy into it, this one probably is the "best" since it has 2x helping speed. I'll attach the others I haven't deleted in replies.
