Team Building Together!

[errant crypt]

Oh wrong screen shot lmao caprese team has squirt digglet ditto (oil)

[lofty plover]

This is the way

[crude vale]

My actual team for the event. Sudowoodo is there because of sleep exp bonus. Ivysaur because I want to keep leveling it. Raichu is my starter and I always have it on my team and haves sleep exp bonus too

I will change a toto for Sudowoodo instead and maybe I keep ivy even if Im on salad weeks because I can still do recipes consistently

Other stuff that I can use instead of ivy is a second Squirtle or a Wigglytuff

[grizzled yew]

Looking at prepping my team for snowdrop, if I could get some input. Here’s what I have, and other strong contenders. Though I’m considering sitting the hound for raichu

[proud lantern]

Yeah a raichu might be better, you might have to see when you get there what pops up higher when you auto pick the berry team and just make sure to bring the top 3 or 4 there

[smoky parrot]

Currently working on my Taupe Hollow Team. I previously had a Charmander and Growlithe on the team but considered replacing them. Right now I'm deciding between two Larvitars but not sure which one I should go with

Ultimately I want a Flareon on the team too but im gonna have to wait for that 😅

Also only main concern is that I'll be low on Sausages for my actual meals

Here's the Charmanders I have and the Charmeleon for reference

Was using the level 12 one originally

[turbid swallow]

My biggest concern rn is what you are gonna do with all that ginger lol

[smoky parrot]

it's just cooking fodder at this point haha

as long as I can make the base meal, whatever else gets put in doesn't matter

[turbid swallow]

What will you do on dessert week

[smoky parrot]

suffer

[smoky parrot]

but also that's kinda the main concern I've seen for Taupe Hollow teams in general

actually

I could swap in some Digletts instead of Charmander/Larvitar line

wait nvm they give tomatoes

uhhh

it wouldn't be ideal, but I could just slot in my Butterfree and a Metapod or Bulba

if I had something that could consistently give Apples that'd work too

but the only Ingredient pokemon that gives Apples is Absol

and that isn't even guaranteed

[turbid swallow]

Do you have Wartortle

/Squirtle

[smoky parrot]

only one, and it isn't awful so that wouldn't be bad

[turbid swallow]

Milk drink requires 7 and honey drink is 9

could probably use that on dessert weeks

[smoky parrot]

mhm

if only I had Flareon, then I'd be better off with Milk and literally everything else in general lmao

swapped Larvitar back out for the Charmander cause I realized their speed of help is significantly different

keeping Pupitar though cause its Speed of Help is solid at least

[turbid swallow]

Yeah I've considered getting a flareon just for Taupe

Doesn't seem worth the investment for only desserts tho

[smoky parrot]

oh no yeah it wouldn't be just for desserts

Flareon is just great for Taupe in general

Ultimately something like two Typhlosions, Flareon, and then two ingredient pokemon is the ideal for me

[echo jetty]

Hi amazing people, I’m at the beach next week and wonder if it seems like a suitable one 💜 can’t wait to hear about your feedbacks

[turbid swallow]

Oh yea you are more than fine

[echo jetty]

I’m trying to get to Master that week it’s going to be my third time 🤭 I only got to Ultra 4 last time.

[lofty plover]

Until Dessert week strikes

[crude vale]

Today got master with this team. I wanted to go to Taupe this week but stayed on Cyan because of the event. I wanted to catch there pokemon like charmander or Gastly because I still don’t have one but maybe it will be better to stay on Cyan for some more weeks now that my team is more solid than before. Also I want to keep getting better mons and to buld the friendship with them including Growlithe and Digglet wich will be good for Taupe. My Wiggly is there just for energy and honey but maybe I could replace it.

[turbid swallow]

Nah they have double milk they are golden

[crude vale]

That team looks really good for Cyan. You can make basic recipes for all types of dishes and will get a lot of fav berries. Also ing magnet can help you to make better recipes on Sundays

[neon prism]

Going to cyan for the first time since I can't find totodile at green grass...

Will this team be okay? I'll level everyone to be at least 12

[turbid swallow]

Yeah should be high ultra I'd think

[neon prism]

Thanks!

Goal is to find a good gator

[crude vale]

I wish you luck! Totos are really good on cyan and having one or two will help a lot!

[next lintel]

Thinking about going cyan for the first time next week, do you think I will be able to get to M1?
I have been comfortable getting to masters the last two weeks on greengrass. Swablu I will pump up to 10 if I don’t get anything better tonight

[echo jetty]

Thank you 💜💜 hopefully I get far this coming week

[neon prism]

Thx!

[leaden totem]

Am I prepared to cyan for tomorrow or should I stay on green grass? Could you give me advice on the team for cyan?

Also this could be helpful for recipes?

[limpid socket]

This for Leppa, Figy, Sitrus.

With curries and stews.

[echo jetty]

Are you trying to go to Taupe?

[echo jetty]

I would try to have more pokemon where their skills are unlock (lvl 10) For Cyan, a good addition is when you are having Squirtle and Totodile as that’s mons that are having his favourite berries 😊 But that’s my insight, hopefully more gives their feedback.

[limpid socket]

I'm in Taupe.

[echo jetty]

Good luck

[limpid socket]

?

[echo jetty]

I’m not going there until I have at least 4000 RP to not struggle too much at the moment 😊 For myself, I don’t feel ready. So I wonder if you’ll be fine with a team RP of 2400.

Let me know how it goes at the end of your week 😊

[limpid socket]

I have no idea what RP actually mean in the team's context.

Does it actually matter or?

[echo jetty]

The “RP” stands for your team’s Research Power. This number gives you an idea of how capable your team is when it comes to helping a Snorlax grow strong. The greater the RP, the more effective that team will be for raising Snorlax. It’s harder to reach Master as you go to a different location. So I would try to ensure the strength of your Pokémon is good 😊

That’s the difference in between GreenGrass and Taupe to reach Master by example.

[swift hound]

From how my week went? Give the snorlax a lot of hot dog soda, that's what.

(I was on greengrass but had a similar one)

[rigid copper]

I just moved to 3rd map. Favorite berries: Leppa. Figy, Sitrus. Cooking requests is Salads which is new to me. My Jigglypuff has Energy Recovery Bonus unlocked so I'd like to keep her in the team regardless.

[crude vale]

Stayed on Cyan and got salads again. I goy Master for first time im cyan the last week so I will keep using the same team, but im thinking about changing Wiggly for Swablu to eventually evolve it into Altaria while getting fav berries. I only have one and its not great but I will not get another one on Cyan.

I think I will do that. I will try to get Altaria and unlock already dragon berries even if I will not need them on Cyan. Also I will not need honey and eggs are stronger

[analog swallow]

After a nice master 2 in cyan with the bonuses and camp, back to greengrass. Got dessert. Since I don't really like desserts and no grass for bulbasaur or chikorita, I'm going to try 4 berry + wartortle for milk. I'll craft the basic 7 milk recipe for food, the egg + bean recipe when swablu and doduo make enough of them, and I have 2 ingredient gatherer skills which can help with procs.

[vocal knoll]

Went from cyan back to green grass with Oran Leppa Wiki. Thinking of changing jiggly or raichu for Toto but this Toto doesn’t feel worth investing in right now. Curry week and I can make some cheeseburger curry

[swift hound]

Do you think it's useful to have a team with a couple sleep exp up people specifically for bad luck weeks so you can at least do that? Like if you just don't have the berries you can build up for the next one?

[torn oracle]

Guess it’s time to make 2 more butterfree… my meal type is desserts

[crude vale]

Wich are your mons with sleep exp bonus?

If its a pokemon that is good enough for being in your team maybe its worth to use it

[swift hound]

I mean, I don't have a good team for this one

so I'm never gonna do THAT well

it's a totodile and eevee

[crude vale]

Can you show a pic of them?

Maybe these can be worth to use

[swift hound]

so in addition to them I'm running a mareep (kind of useful all the time to level up), a pichu, and an igglybuff

pokemon I want to build up anyway

once the eevee comes online everything in this team will be getting like 1.3x sleep exp

[crude vale]

Maybe these can be worth to use

[swift hound]

Oh I mean they are good enough too

But I’m not gonna have a good team for this week

So I’m focusing on making other Pokémon better

[crude vale]

Idk about your eevee but totodile is a good mon for cyan and there will help a lot. Also sausages are a nice to get.

Then use toto or both for sure

They will help a lot

Toto will be useful for sure later and maybe eevee too even without skill trigger skills

Also you can chose eevee´s evolution, it doesnt have skill trigger nature or subskills but can do a decent job anyway

[fluid anvil]

If your computation is just for berries production, use the auto suggest team in berry mode.

That thing is pretty accurate and include current week favored berry.

For example on cyan my top berry producer now is my bfs wartortle. Then it goes to totodile. Then raichu wich don't have the bonus but is just good at making berries.

So I usually ask the oracle for berries then add 1-3 ingredient mon and that's my team. When an ingredient mon is also a top berry producer I use that as priority.

[plush dragon]

How good is chikorita at producing cacao? I'm on Taupe this week with deserts and he seems like my best option. I have a good golem who has the preferred berries and makes a decent amount of soybeans. Just need cacao

[torn oracle]

This was a while ago haha, but my calculator I’ve made with the data we collected is more accurate and takes helping bonus into consideration so I know rattata is worse than both chndaquil and chikorita in that situation in hindsight haha

For making a team though I completely avoid caring about recipes or ingredients at all and I’m getting quite good results so far, if I do calcs for what I would get with ingredients mons it’s just worse unless I find better ingredient mons for now lol

[fluid anvil]

Yeah I guess team skill is the one that break it. But on the flip side they know a lot of stuff about ing% and various bonus that we are still trying to figure out.

[torn oracle]

Yeah, it is quite a solid estimator though

[swift hound]

berries outperforms ingredients pretty well, don't they?

[torn oracle]

From my experience they do

[crude vale]

Yes but making dishes is important too

Try to do at least the basic ones

[swift hound]

Oh yeah absolutely

[crude vale]

I was focusing on cyan but I want to go to Taupe Hollow and I will use this team there. I will go back to cyan after 1 or 2 weeks but I can do some progression going there

[limpid shuttle]

I'm going back to GG tomorrow, and I got a question on how to decide who to use. I've got some mons that seem like they'll just be core members (E4E iggly, ingredient fiend war), but are the others just based on Snorlax's favorite berry? Or do you swap out before sleeping to get exp? But then how do you get energy back on the team building strength?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but it feels like unless several stars align I don't know how people are raising specific teams to tackle the other islands

[turbid swallow]

I personally took a week on grass and used the team I wanted for Taupe despite snorlax preferred berries

And now that I'm on Taupe it's easier for me to find the specific Pokémon I want for Taupe

[limpid shuttle]

I can see that. The bonus on GG is pretty high so even ignoring preferred berries you probably get decent results, and I guess Snorlax's strength doesn't impact your exp gains, just a full night's rest

Did you hit the recommend RP before going to Taupe?

[fluid crest]

I really struggle with trying to determine what team to build. If I build a team with all the berries my Snorlax likes, I inevitably struggle for ingredients.

I try to do a mix, but it's still a bit of a slough - especially on Sunday when I'm not able to capitalize on the bigger pot.

What does everyone else put more importance on? Bulky meals or them all having the berries? Or something else?

[limpid shuttle]

Imo, berries are stronger early on if you're going for high Snorlax strength, but you want to make sure you're able to consistently make a some sort of meal, even if it's the simple honey/apple recipes so they get stronger. "mixed" is a waste of ingredients

The bigger pot should only matter more when you can consistently get ingredients, it's almost like a trap otherwise

What I'd like to know is if faster berry mons like Butterfree can out perform a favorite berry mon in a given week

[fluid crest]

Oooh, really? I assume 'later game' means I've got mons leveled enough to be pulling second ingredients? I just crossed the 1 month mark - which definitely probably means I'm still in the early game. 🤣 I try to remind myself this is a marathon game (I am a sprinter)

[limpid shuttle]

It's hard, I feel ya! I look at my box every day and cry at how many of them just look worthless, but it's only been 2ish months. But yeah later game is like beyond level 50, fully evolved Pokemon that have been invested in with seeds

And we're all praying that mints make it in so there's 1 less degree of rng outside our control

People you see on Reddit making those masterpiece complex recipes that score 60k have also spent $$$$ at this point

[fluid crest]

All of what you just said is comforting I'm not completely free to play (thanks to having no patience) but I'm no whale either.

Really I just wish - like many others - cookies weren't so hard to come by

[limpid shuttle]

That really is the #1 complaint about the game is that it barely qualifies as Pokemon since we just can't catch anything. Far too few biscuits, and what you do catch just makes you sad when you can finally see the stats

Someone compared the rates against Pokemon Go, and I think we're paying 10x as much per Pokemon caught?

[fluid crest]

Yeeees - the pricing is insane

[limpid shuttle]

does it make sense to spend time with a team just to unlock their new ingredients at level 30?

I'm not sure how long it'll take, I estimate 1-2 weeks if I've got sleep exp bonus mixed in there as well

[turbid swallow]

I personally am using 1-2 berry specialist. 1 skill mon and the last 2-3 as ingredients. I hit my 27 pot size every meal. I've done 2 54 pot size today and waiting on dinner to try and do the third

I'm gonna be just under 300k strength this week on Taupe.

Desserts are rough here 😂

[cedar kiln]

What are your ingredient specs? If you're able to get that many for every meal, you definitely have some really strong mons.

This last week for me was desserts with rock and ground favorite berries. I used 3 pika family, 1 diglett and 1 sudowoodo. I made tomato apple juice as often as possible, and occasionally had to just use apples.

I'm looking at taupe next week, hoping that there's a meal I can consistently make. I have lots the preferred type berries, but they're all ingredients.

[turbid swallow]

I'm using Gengar Arcanine Cubone Diglett generally. Swapping in pika/Charmeleon

[cedar kiln]

Gengar is one of the fastest ingredient spec, right? What meals are you making with all that herb?

I was planning to bring this guy to taupe, but now that I found out helping bonus doesn't do anything I should probably switch him out

[turbid swallow]

Herb is a pretty good filler ingredient. I'm trying to get mushrooms unlocked. But you can make solar power curry pretty easy. Salads you can do the herb/bean salad or just default to sausage salad. And then on Sunday make the overheat ginger salad

[lofty plover]

Ughhh Bug, Fighting, Poison week, with Desserts. Poison and Fighting are full of Sausage and Oil mon, leaning on Caterpie line hard this week.

Thinking of just leaning into the L and Rolling Wiggly, Wartortle + 3 C’Pie. So I get better progress on CI next week.

[turbid swallow]

That's fair

[limpid shuttle]

Couldn't you also use the week to ignore Snorlax's whims and jst get sleep exp with mons that will serve yo better on other islands?

[lofty plover]

We’ll that would be the other option, I was thinking of rushing to G4 to unlock the single stage mons, then just working on other island teams.

[fluid crest]

I might try this strategy for next week 👀

[neon prism]

Is this good enough for first time Cyan

Totodile will be replaced with better tot

Wait... I can just use this

I will level him up to level 10 if I have the candy quest

[mellow forge]

is this alright for a cyan beach curry team

[mellow forge]

is the raticate a must in ur team

[neon prism]

He has berry finder level 10, and I want to level him as fast I can

[mellow forge]

DAMN lucky

if your totodile is mid use the doduo

[neon prism]

You shiny doduo looks firee

[neon prism]

Very mid, thanks !

[mellow forge]

helping speed M and speed of help is crazy

[crude vale]

Week 9 of playing, first week on Taupe. I got salads again. I got salads 5 weeks in a row. I hate salads now but at least I will be able to make decent dishes.

[swift hound]

Chewing around on this bad team. Cyan beach, curries. I’m trying to beef up the Eevee, and at level 10 it gets sleep EXP bonus like totodile so I really wanna keep it around

But I’m unsure if bulbasaur is better than a bad (impish) squirtle or decent swablu (knowing altaria is not particularly exciting to invest in). At least this way I get lots of honey for meals

[echo jetty]

I feel like you’ll be running out of milk without a milk ingredient specialist 🤔

But unsure what is your plan with your meals.

[swift hound]

It’s mostly honey meals I’m thinking…

[echo jetty]

I don’t see a salad that is just honey. Are you just doing mixed salads?

[echo jetty]

I feel like making “mixed” meals are reducing the chance of lvl up other salads to get % of bonuses.. Which would probably help you even more.

Even it’s a new salad or curry I am making, I feel like I’m enhancing the chance of having higher strength of a meal to lvl up my snorlax over the time

[swift hound]

I mean I can make honey curry, so that’s the recipe I’m going for mostly, with the sausage ones in between

Sorry it’s curry haha

[swift hound]

I could swap out the bulbasaur for maybe a gastly? I have a squirtle and a charmander but they’re both ingredient down natures

[echo jetty]

Yeah might be better so you can do some “Heat Wave” Tofu Salad instead of some mixed salad. Hopefully you find more Toto or Squirtle this week.

[swift hound]

Silvery, bellsprout, and larvitar are the only other ingredient mons I have that don’t have a negative nature

[swift hound]

Oh, it’s curry, I didn’t specify in my post, oops

[echo jetty]

Oops I thought salad 🥗

I guess if you think of doing a bunch of Mild Honey Curry, you might be alright haha

Honey farming haha

[swift hound]

It’s not ideal no hahaha

And I don’t wanna invest in Pokémon that will end up being overwhelming, even if they’re handy NOW

I’m lucky enough to have two level 10 sleep exp bonus Pokémon (Eevee is close) so I’m sort of thinking I might as well just incubate my Pokémon for a bit

[sand drift]

salad week in cyan beach, what are some good dishes to aim for? Currently only have 1 squirtle (and it's pretty bad) and 0 totodiles (mostly going to the beach to try to correct that lol) but once I have more maybe I should aim for the milk + sausage salad?

so far I've just been bringing my weepinbell and making tomato salads (the dish is currently at lv23 or so)

[grave flicker]

Kinda jumped the gun and went to cyan and this is my team for a dessert week,any suggestions?

[turbid swallow]

Warm milk dish

[crude vale]

Save some ingredients like oil, cacao, honey or/and beans for making better dishes at sundays if you can

Mostly save cacao and honey and try to make Sweet Scent Chocolate Cake

I hope you can get some cacao from Ingredient Magnet but you can use a cacao mon some day to try to get some

[grave flicker]

Decided to bring out my Chikoritas rq but man. Literally all of my pokemon gave me ingredients, even the ing down ones and yet neither of the Chikoritas (one with ing up) gave me anything

[lofty plover]

Thought I would try something different, cause I have a mad magnemite and went for pot size instead, made 2 Masalada & 1 Milk (Crit). Ended up 5k behind.

The two teams I was using. Magnemite only procc’d once, but I got the crit. Going to try again today but with Wiggly in for a Bulba. Hitting the 10 oil is hard though.

[mellow forge]

wartortle keeps producing milk and making my inventory full every single cooking session, what should i do

[turbid swallow]

Can you increase your pot size

[tepid solstice]

Greengrass, are any of these good? Also, what makes a Pokémon good or worth keeping, how should I decide my teams, and how should I prepare for Cyan or Taupe?

[turbid swallow]

What's good on greengrass depends on what berries your snorlax prefers for the week

The other islands have static berry preferences. Cyan beach is always fairy flying water. Taupe Hollow is Fire Ground Rock. Snowdrop Tundra is Ice Normal Dark

[tepid solstice]

gotcha

[mellow forge]

its at 160 alr 😭

[turbid swallow]

That would be your ingredient inventory. I'm talking about your pot size. I'm guessing you should have up to 27 or 33 available but you need to buy the upgrades.

Click on the pot by your tent

[mellow forge]

i read wrongly, my bad

my pot size is 27

i dont have 110 sleep styles yet

[crude vale]

Increase your pot size if you can or sell some milk if you don’t need that much and want to keep it on your team

Then sell some milk

Or dont use it or use less ing mons

[turbid swallow]

Yeah if you are overcapping ingredients consistently I'd swap out an ing mon for berries

[mellow forge]

alright thanks guys

[scenic monolith]

Hi

[vocal knoll]

It's a really loaded question as there are a lot of answers but in general you want to aim for whichever Berry pokemon can carry those regions, you want to ensure you are getting your weekly diamonds from hitting Master 1 (and Master 10 if possible).
For example MCyan Beach is Oran(Water), Pamtre(Flying), Pecha(Fairy?).
If you check Berries pokemon on RaenonX (Handy tool for most of this stuff) you will find Dodrio line, Feraligator line and Swablu (He changes his berry on evolve!!)
It's good to diversify so you don't need all berry, but they will get you far
A 5 croconaw L12 team will get you Master 7 with 100% sleeps according to the team analysis, but that's very poor so you want to diversify a bit

2 Croconaw 1 Dodrio 3 Wartortle will get you a good recipe (On curry week) while puting soybeans aside, all favored berries and Master 8.
That same team would get you Master 11 on Greengrass though, getting new sleep styles and especailly Atops and such for good exp is really valuable though so you do want to move eventually.
Also don't forget Jiggly is Pecha so you can use it to fill 'Skills', you'll lose a bit but the energy change should help overall.
Some pokemon just destroy the setup better too as you mess around with the skills, comparing these 3 you really just need Dordrios + some ing/skill mon instead LOL
https://i.imgur.com/ni9L76S.png
Take what I say as just a guy though I'm no expert and you can read in these math rooms for hours and still learn

[torn oracle]

Sorry for responding a few days late but I think this is the first Pokémon I’ve seen that has 100% optimal subskills… this literally couldn’t be better besides nature and ingredient list

But neutral is also a very good nature and ingredient list doesn’t matter so much imo

[neon prism]

Thanks! I'm waiting for them to fix the Helping bonus, so I can level him to 25!

[vast rover]

Should I move to Cyan Beach (at 0% bonus) next week, if my Cyan Beach team isn’t at the recommended RP? I can probably try and increase the RP by evolving Totodile, for instance, using the free candies that were just given out today

[crude vale]

That team looks good for cyan, but maybe its better with some ing mon like Squirtle

[crude vale]

Also wich is your actual bonus at Greengrass?

And remember that we could get a Good sleep event soon, maybe in the last week of September

[vast rover]

I was thinking that I could replace Jigglypuff with something else. I do have a Wartortle I could swap in, thanks for that suggestion! 🙂

[vast rover]

My bonus is at 40% this week at Greengrass 😅 And I heard that’s the max, which is why I’m thinking of switching just to build up the area bonus for other places

[vast rover]

Very true! I might actually swap back to Greengrass during that last week of September for that good sleep event

[crude vale]

Yeah, do that. Use Wartortle instead of Jiggly and test that team. If you still don’t get enough ingredients use another ing mon instead of something else but maybe that is enough, and then go back to GG for one week for the event

[turbid swallow]

I would personally swap out the swablu for Wartortle if you evolved the jiggly from an Igglybuff

Swablu is Deff the worst Berry mon here

[vast rover]

That sounds perfect, I’ll give that a try!

[vast rover]

Oh I didn’t know Swablu is bad. My Jiggly was not evolved, but I do have an Igglybuff that’s close to evolving… so I’ll use that instead!

[crude vale]

show your jiggly

[vast rover]

Here’s my Jigglypuff!

And my Igglybuff

[turbid swallow]

Iggly is better imo

[vast rover]

I’ll use Igglybuff then! Just need maybe 3 days of sleep to evolve it

Thank you 🙂

[sand drift]

thinking of heading to taupe next week with an undertrained team like this, just to hopefully find some cyndaquils (and maybe some better charmanders). Is this reasonable, or am I better off continuing to try to find them at greengrass? (I've encountered a total of 0 ever)

[turbid swallow]

I'm a fan of building the team on the island some. Build up some area bonus but you won't score points or unlock many sleep styles if that's okay with you

[sand drift]

yeah, I'm happy having a low points week as long as I'm making good progress in other ways

[neon prism]

Heading to gg to max my bonus for good night event

[crude vale]

I stay at taupe for one more week. Last week got ultra 3. Same team but more leveled. Also salads AGAIN.

Got salads for 6 weeks in a row

[turbid swallow]

Salads are OP on Taupe

[swift hound]

Desserts on cyan. I don’t really have a squirtle I LOVE but I have one that’s, like, fine. So I might swap out bulbasaur for that. Lack of good apple Pokémon sucks for desserts. Hope snorlax isn’t lactose intolerant

[somber abyss]

I also got desserts on cyan. I wasn't super awake this morning and clicked into cyan and I don't feel like wasting diamonds to move to greengrass

[cedar kiln]

First sleep of the week and now I'm changing my taupe curry team completely. I've never used the soybean before but if I can make it consistently this will be fun

Last week was the same, I used charmanders and a croagunk for the sausage/oil dish, then diglett and ghastly for a backup spicy tomato dish. Now I won't have as many favored berry ingredient collectors, because eggs are hard to come by. My goal will be 4 eggs, 4 fire herb, 12 soybean, and 6 sausage. Not sure I can hit that every meal but I'll try

I guess I'll bring g this baby

Are there any ingredient specs with eggs in the first slot?

[turbid swallow]

Nope

[swift hound]

For desserts on cyan. I have a mediocre altaria and togepi also.

[crude vale]

Altaria is dragon, it doesn’t have a fav berry at cyan anymore

That team should be enough for cyan

[swift hound]

Sorry — swablu haha

Would like to get a good mon for apples esp on desserts but

[crude vale]

Sadly Pichu is not available at Cyan

[crude vale]

Got this today. I will use it instead of the berry finder Sudowoodo so it will get +46% xp

[swift hound]

Oh, fair, but Idk what I'd sub out for it in this instance

[scenic monolith]

what is this user interface ?

[scenic monolith]

before monday or after moving to new island ?

when do y'all form teams ?

[crude vale]

If I stay on the same island (cyan or taupe) I don’t change the team.

If I move to another island I planify the team for that island and change the team that the Sunday before sleeping

And sometimes I change some mon if I get a better one or want to level something or I want certain ingredient.

Deppends on the situation too

[vocal knoll]

RaenonX has a very useful website for much of the calculating.

[scenic monolith]

Thanks

[echo jetty]

Hey lovely people just trying to go to Taupe for my first time next week and I don’t have the best ever Pokemon but this is what I have. Most of them are either A or B tier mons except Cubone who’s an overall C mon. Checking what your thoughts are 😊 I can probably wait but I want to have more chance to see mons helpful for Taupe by going there.

[crude vale]

If you want to go to Taupe go there

You will eventually improve your team with mons from there

Specially if you can get a good Cyndaquil or multiple of them

[echo jetty]

I have one but I don’t think I want to risk this one and use my candies when I can probably have better. Thanks for your input 😊

[vocal knoll]

A charmander would probably be nice to add for taupe if you have one, having only 2 ing guys if they don't match might be tough, you can get around the berries quite a bit by making some great dishes

[crude vale]

Just use it but without using candies lol

[echo jetty]

You would use this mon for taupe?

[crude vale]

Yeah, why not?

You can use it until you get a better one

[neon prism]

Next week is good sleep event

So choose wisely

[crude vale]

Next week I will go back to cyan and use my best team there but I will change the team for the mons that I will want to raise the most on the event days

[neon prism]

I already max bonus at green grass, so ill be at Cyan as well

[limpid shuttle]

came here to see if I was crazy, but I've got the same idea too. Finally, a use for all those stupid energy pillows

what I can't decide is if it makes sense to take naps on the days there's no bonus applied and use energy incense to recover the team after the swap out. Bonus is Thurs-Sat so it feels like it won't work like I hope but if anyone else has an idea along these lines I'm listening

my cyan team do leave me praying for a desserts week tho 😅

[swift hound]

Hmmmmmm. I'm looking at that team, because mine's croconaw, squirtle, doduo, jiggly, and an eevee, and I can' tcook anything fun

[limpid shuttle]

An Eevee? What's it bringing to your cyan team?

I'm contemplating replacing the togetic since it's nothing special but I can't think of what would really bring benefit over favored berries

[vocal knoll]

Also trying to plan my Cyan team, by Monday my doduo should be able to evolve https://i.imgur.com/jP1W9Vs.png Contemplating dropping one of these totos I don't really want to invest in though, but my other built mons are charmeleon raichu quivala so they're not really useful in cyan outside of putting charmeleon in for meals. Thoughts?

this is my current team I'm using on greengrass I raely swap anyone and I like their coverage overall https://i.imgur.com/a8MQa1K.png . I shouldn't have an issue hitting master 1 but my luck with finding more squirtles doduos and totodiles has been awful

[limpid shuttle]

I don't know how the numbers compare, since toto berries are favorite, but I imagine if you were to drop one you'd want to replace it with that Raichu

just on the merit of Raichu being solid berry specialist, it would likely make up for the difference against Totodile. If that were evolved it'd probably be a close match, so you shold also keep the double exp in mind

[rigid copper]

what did you use to create those images? I think they'll be helpful when I move to new island next week

[vocal knoll]

https://pks.raenonx.cc/ I can’t say the numbers have always been 100% for me but you can tweak a bit

[surreal comet]

I am looking to maximize my sleep score for for sleep week, I have 5% bonus at cyan but 45% at greengrass, however, my cyan team is pretty stacked. Which should I choose?

Could probably replace Butterfree but I like sleep exp

[limpid socket]

This is my curries and stews team. I've decided to completely eschew berry synergy in favour of getting what I think are the best overall ingredients for my pot level.

[neon prism]

Stay at green grass max bonus or cyan beach for good sleep event ?

[echo jetty]

Go with the strongest team you have if you want to go further next week 😊

I decided to be a fool and try Taupe for the event haha, I don’t be using my strongest team but it’s okay I want to try to go the furthest I can in Taupe and this might help me 👀

[lofty plover]

Good sleep night realistically just gets you a better chance at rarer sleep styles up to your rank right?
So going to Taupe isn’t a bad idea if you’re missing a majority of sleep styles in whatever rank you are projecting to hit, starting Thursday.

[crude vale]

Im back to cyan, this time I got curry wich I didn’t got it since the first week. I still have to change my team for getting better ings for curry.

[crude vale]

I think I will keep this team. I could make a better team for dishes but I will have to change mons that I want on the team or I will lose berries

[wise abyss]

On a Green Grass Salads week with Persim, Bluk and Cheri berries.

Really unsure what I wanna run from those berry groups. I'm good with getting berries, but not as confident in getting ingredients for meals with this lot. Any help would be appreciated. 🙏

[crude vale]

wich stats have your ditto and eevees?

I think Ditto, one or 2 eevees and raticate+ratata could be a good team that could allow you to make strong dishes

Or if you focus mostly on berries you can do basic dishes and use Mankey, raticate, ratattas and a flex

for flex I mean ditto, haunter, eevee or a good mon that you could want to raise or evolve

[wise abyss]

Yeah, I think I'll go with your first team. Makes Dazzling Apple Cheese salad, right? I have a lot of apples spare from last week, so that should work. Thank you! 🙂

[crude vale]

Yeah, that

And you are welcome

Sadly any of your eevees are good. Do you have a good Squirtle? That can help with milk too

[wise abyss]

I do have this one! Been using it in Cyan for a while.

[crude vale]

That is really good. Sadly neutral nature but its worth to keep using it and raising it

[crude vale]

Definitely use that

Well I said sadly but at least the nature is not bad and the subskills are really good.

[crude vale]

I changed my team. I got a really good iggly that I will start using from now. Also I should not care about ingredients since it will be better to use some of the tickets that I have been saving.

[swift hound]

Hoo okay let’s see

Ok, sounds workable

Could drop wigglytuff for bell sprout to double up on tomatoes

My charmander is awful but he’s high level and has a relevant ingredient so

Or I just go all in on fire herbs and tomatoes

[limpid shuttle]

I got curry, probably the worst menu for this week >.<

[echo jetty]

Decided to go to Taupe for my first time this week. That’s my team. I have salad at the isle. Hopefully I can survive haha

[crude vale]

I think that is a good team for salads at least

But maybe what you will need the most are berries

[swift hound]

Went for that. Should be making solar powered tomato every time

[echo jetty]

Yeah sadly I don’t have any good berry mons so I’m hoping going there will spawns good Pokémon for me 😭🙏

[swift hound]

What are taupe’s berries again?

[crude vale]

Fire, sand and rock

I was focusing on cyan but moved some weeks to taupe because I wanted certain mons and started to get good mons for taupe

So you will eventually will get them for sure

You want mostly Cyndaquil but Cubone can be good too

I think I will be rotating now between Cyan and Taupe, so I will build bonus for both and will take longer to hit cap

[turbid swallow]

Team looks pretty good for salads. Should be able to pretty consistently make the bean and herb salad.

[echo jetty]

That’s exactly what I’m targeting I’m having an amazing Cyan beach team but I got sadly nothing out of GreenGrass much for Taupe, I felt lucky to have that team to be honest so now I’m just hoping to get an amazing Cyndaquil but also Charmander… I have sadly not gotten a good one yet haha.

I want to alternate in between cyan and taupe for now and then eventually hit SnowDrop.

[swift hound]

Yeah, I getcha now that I see

[crude vale]

One of the reasons of why I went to Taupe is to get a charmander

After 2 weeks at taupe I still didnt got one

And it is still at 4/5 hearts from when I was in Greengrass

[swift hound]

I thought they show up on green grass?

I haven’t found another and I’m dying for one

My only charmander is -ingredient finding

[echo jetty]

They do, but I haven’t seen a lot of them there unfortunately

[echo jetty]

God that’s very unfortunate hopefully you get one this week if you’re at Taupe 🙏💜

[swift hound]

Oh is it dozing?

[swift hound]

Ahhhh

[vocal knoll]

GG curries Belue Rawst Mago. Probably my worst berry week but my curry team is solid enough for frequent hearty cheeseburger and occasional bulk up. Was scared to do cyan on the good sleep week

Did I just unlocked his BFS and I’m trying to level these lads a bit more

Thinking of swapping my warhorse for eevee that is BFS to let him level and get sleep for umbreon. But Wartortle brings in the milk (despite ING down nature)

[crude vale]

Im at cyan. I will try to go for Totodiles mostly here

[echo jetty]

Good luck and hopefully you find a bunch of nice ones 🙏

[mellow forge]

which mon should i swap with croconaw

[crude vale]

Charmaleon or Pikachu?

[mellow forge]

i picked charmeleon since croconaw can slighly cover my bean sausages

[crude vale]

My Good Sleep Day team. My Raichu is helping with sleep exp bonus ans the other are mons that wants the extra xp from the event. Im at Master 1 because I used the free premium trial and got it faster. I will get less berries for some days but dishes is giving me a lot of strength already and raising them faster will help me to progress faster. Also Slowpoke gets sleep exp bonus so maye he could take Raichu’s spot in the future or I could use both to raise certain mons faster.

[vocal knoll]

Nice, I think I might regret leaving my -ing wartortle on my team for the extra exp over my eevee but I'm mainly just using my standard team to get them some levels. Wish I had my sleep exp bonus guys leveled

[crude vale]

Im actually using different teams, one for getting ings during the day and the one that I posted to get xp during the sleep

[limpid shuttle]

Same here, I'm running 2 sleep exp mons to basically superboost the team I'm swapping in at night as much as I can, then finally burning energy pillows to get the day team back on their feet

[crude vale]

Im not even using pillows, Im using different mons deppending on what I want and they will get back their energy passively

[lofty plover]

Also using pillows, to make life easy. They gave away so many with style seen achievements per type they’re just clogging up inventory.

[limpid shuttle]

^ after this sleep event I'll finally be able to claim one of the 3 gifts from 100 million friends event

[crude vale]

I will go back to Taupe the next week. I will keep raising Victreebell and Dugtrio for unlocking potatoes and leeks and I will hunt ghosts. Hopefully I will get some Charmander or Cyndaquil too.

[crude vale]

I got an idea. I will try to use an exp team instead. Raichu and Sudo are my only 2 mons with sleep exp bonus but I used all my candies on Slowpoke because it will get that sub too. So I will use this team instead to unlock the ings faster, including slowpoke tails.

[limpid shuttle]

that's what I've been doing. I'm staying F2P, so I can't catch enough Slowpokes to get exp + AND tails at 30. Just spending a few weeks with 2 Sleep xp + mons and the other 3 slots are unlocking ingredients that magnets can pull in. Building up area bonus, unlocking new sleep styles, not too much lost imo

[crude vale]

I will end using the team with Blastoise. I will raise them slower but I will still raise them. Blastoise is really good for not using him and Cubone is worth to raise too and will help more than a Sudowoodo or a Slowpoke.

[hasty lodge]

So this week I have normal/ fighting/ ghost. + dessert. So mankey and ratt are the only double berry ones and mankey drops sausage. Not sure what team to build. Have 2x Eevee 2x gasly 1x great kang for now. Because I don’t have a good mankey or ratt.

[turbid swallow]

Slakoth is a normal berry specialist

[hasty lodge]

Don’t have it yet

[plush dragon]

Is Richu the best at apple gathering besides absol? Need an apple gatherer on Taupe desserts week. Ginger is covered by 3 Quilava

[hasty lodge]

I normally use a good warturtle or balbasaur because of 2x ingredients. Desserts on taupe sucks. Use the ingredients tickets as well. Especially in the weekend.

[plush dragon]

Oof both my Ivy and Wartortle stink. Ivy had ingredients - and Wartortle is neutral.

[hasty lodge]

Of your raichu does drop enough then your are good. I only have a few bad pichus

[vocal knoll]

Wish I had normal, trying to level my eevee without ruining my gains is tough.

This is my cyan team for this week (Desserts )
I've had curry for the last month and have been absolutely slamming levels into bean/milk curry all to not get it on cyan week https://i.imgur.com/kNS9LqK.png

I really want to swap someone for eevee (BFS) to get him some hours for evolution, but charmeleon is slamming sausages and ing magnet for me and jiggly despite no skills is at least matching berry BFS

[turbid swallow]

If you have desserts swap out the charmander. Sausage does nothing for you

[hasty lodge]

Tot is okay because of the berry. Warturtle is the main man for you

[brisk umbra]

1st time at taupe. Wld it b btr if i stay like this or shld i run 4 berrymons and rotate in ingmons to replenish ings. I dont gt any ings frm my berrymons cos i sneaky snac them

[hasty lodge]

What dish?

Have any charmeleons? ?

[brisk umbra]

Salads and no char

Its weird cos i force snoozing for 2 wks and no char

[brisk umbra]

Im perplexed

Rng gna rng

[hasty lodge]

Damm

I went to taupe last week and got no snooz at all.

Just freaking slumbering mainly somehow

[brisk umbra]

U can use the calender trick

[hasty lodge]

?

Gotta look that one up

[hasty lodge]

Do you have a link for me?

[brisk umbra]

[vocal knoll]

TL;DR : Careful hardfocusing berries, ingredients are very very good.

Sneaky snacking might seem good, but ingredients are a lot more than berries overall for points as long as you can use them so having a minimum of ing is actually super good.
There's a point where berry wins out but it's pretty later on....
An example, sausage is 103 SS
Pamtre L30 53 SS
Pamtre L50 80 SS
Pamtre L60 103 SS
So even at 60 it's barely even

Even Yache which is Altaria only is L44 to pass 101 SS
Obviously less work especailly with sneaky snacking but any decent ingredient is going to be better than that berry guy for a bit unless it's favored berry (L27 for Pamtre to pass 100 on Cyan), only 2 ingredients under 100.
Feels to me like there's this weird spot where ingredients shine, early you don't have enough pot space to use it, but once you do you need more guys to capitalize and then berry will surpass late game. Ingredients can also be raised up fairly well with utilizing same recipes, L10 Bean Ham makes sausage average to 128 each. End of the day it's what you get lucky to find and playing the puzzle of mix and match though

[pseudo inlet]

Right now sneaky snacking is bugged and giving like 2.5x as much or something haha, but this is very relevant math for when it us fixed

[vocal knoll]

Yeah I read about that, is that just sneaky snacking period or you have to set it up somehow first?

[swift hound]

On cyan I am NOT getting enough ingredients to cook. I could swap in charmander for… idk! Clefairy? Wigytuff? Or just burn through ingredient tickets

[turbid swallow]

You only have one ing mon. That why

[surreal comet]

Imo just having this team will get you higher score than cooking

[swift hound]

I mean, yeah, but it feels like it hurts to remove a favored berry mon for 'em, right

[swift hound]

argh. I hope so. At my current rate I'm unsure if I can get to master because my levels are kinda low

the oooonly thing I could think would be to sub out the doduo/drio or clefairy for another totodile etc. so I can get to the caesar better

[pseudo inlet]

Just snacking, but it's more the more often you check. If you don't check more often the benefit is negligible I've heard

[limpid shuttle]

I caught an ok Toto this morning, could be a lot better but does it make more sense to replace Doduo or Togetic here? Togetic is really only bringing sleep exp, and Doduo is SoH down

Swablu is BFS so I think it gets to stay

These are more details, any help appreciated. The team isn't in use yet, still working on unlocking ingredients for magnet to proc

[surreal comet]

Should I replace my Altaria for cyan beach ?

[vocal knoll]

Since he’s BFS berry it would probably take a matching BFSmon to bother swapping unless they were well leveled. I’m guessing you’re good on…. Milk… what are you making food wise? Maybe you need more sausage or another specific ingredient. If you’re getting good results so far in the week I would leave him especially if you’re trying to level him up

[surreal comet]

I been making nonstop moomoo milk and simple chowder. I reach master 1 at the end of the week. I would like to complete the mission reach master 2. I'm thinking if I remove him it would be worst.

[vocal knoll]

Any reason you're settling for those T1 recipes? I mean if it works for you it's fine for now and it most likely will for a bit, but when you get close to maxing those out you'd have been more than halfway to maxing out a T2 recipe instead
Warm Moomoo Milk
L1 - +6% (+41) to your initial ingredients
L50 - +156% (+1073)

Big Malasada
L1 - +17% (+425)
L50 - +183% (+4581)

Jigglypuff's Fruity Flan
L1 - +35% (+1969)
L50 - 227% (+12752)

It's way bigger when you look at the flat (The bonus only applies to the initial ingredients AFAIK, not added ingredients, even if it does that's a 30% boost later on, you obviously can't go straight for Fruity Flan right away, but as soon as you can you should definitely capitalize on what is a lot of free SnorlaxStrength.
Something to consider for weeks to come, that Altaria is really good and will beast mode snowdrop for you probably, if you're trying to keep leveling him just leave him in, but the ingredients is something to consider as you progress too, food is a lot of the Snorlax Strength you get

[neon prism]

I think I'll go to tapu next week despite having any good fire pokemon

Extra poke biscuits will probably help my fire pokemon progress

[vocal knoll]

True

[crude vale]

My actual team for Taupe. Slowpoke haves sleep exp bonus to help getting level 30 with Victrebell, Dugtrio and itself faster. Cubone is helping with berries and will get BF at 25 but maybe I could change it if I need ingredients to allow me to make dishes if I get curry or dessert week.

Im not getting so high on Taupe but my main priorities are to level them, build bonus on Taupe and getting certain mons from there

[crude vale]

I got curry week so I changed Cubone for Gastly

[novel ember]

I have a pretty good Gastly now. Who should I replace with Gastly, if I even should?

[surreal comet]

What island, also show us subskills of your team

[crude vale]

Show the fav dishes too

[novel ember]

I’m currently at Taupe Hollow.

Gastly does not have the favorite berry this week.

[crude vale]

Wich are your Snorlax ‘s fav dishes?

Desserts, curry or salads?

Wich other mons does you have? I think you can keep Venusaur and definitely keep Dugtrio and Wigglytuff in the team but some fire or ground berry mon could be great

Also wich ingredients does your gastly drop?

[novel ember]

-Snorlax eats curry this week, I think.
-I have a ton of Pokémon, but #rate-my-mon-or-team says that most of them aren't optimal due to their natures/subskills. Stuff like Charmander, Cyndaquil, etc.
-Gastly gets the red herb things now and mushrooms at levels 30 and 60.

[crude vale]

Even if thy are not optymal you can still use them until you get better ones, just dont invest on them

These ings are good on ghastly, yours can be better but its better to start raising it now for getting mushrooms faster

Dugtrio and ghastly will help you to make solar beam curry wich is tomatoes + herbs

[novel ember]

So that begs the question: who do I replace?

Not Dugtrio, obviously, but maybe Venusaur?

[crude vale]

Pikachu and butterfree

I think they are your worst ones on that team

[novel ember]

https://sportshub.cbsistatic.com/i/2021/03/16/12d81e91-af16-46fc-a3bd-fc38bf057396/bye-bye-butterfree-pokemon-1131414.jpg

Thank you all for the help!

[hidden cargo]

what is BF? How do I get it?

[crude vale]

Berry Finder, a gold subskill

The pokemon with BF will get an extra berry

2 berries if its a skill or ing mon or 3 for berry mons

In total

[hidden cargo]

Hmm i see

Seems tough to get it. I don't have one yet, and I've caught about 35 pokemon

[vocal knoll]

It’s gold so while it is rare but focusing on a specific species and getting the friendship to 10 you are guaranteed gold sub skill for the lvl 10 slot which brings its rarity to like 1/5 chance or something for that pokemon instead of like 1/25 or some nonsense

[crude vale]

I think next week I will be again at Taupe but I will focus more on getting strength instead of just getting exp and building the island bonus. I will still use my Raichu with sleep exp to help getting potatoes with Victreebell faster but after that I will change both for Blastoise and Dugtrio. If I need ingredients I will just use some of my 80 tickets.

[crude vale]

Ok, got hcandy M so Victre is done

My team for next week

[brisk umbra]

Experimenting with char/dig combo this wk over my usual turtle/saur pairing due to curry wk

[neon prism]

Anyone been to snow drop? I just unlocked it. Should I go there and see what's it like?

[warped zephyr]

Any changes I should make before I go to taupe? Or stay in GG and level up? I’ve never been taupe before and cyan once only

[crude vale]

I got salads so changed Dugtrio for Charmander so I will be able to make contrary chocolate meat salad

[crude vale]

Wich mons do you have for taupe? Also wich is your level, pot size and current bonus on Greengrass?

I think is ok to move to taupe and start getting bonus there. Also you will only need to focus on one team and can get the mons from that team on Taupe if you don’t have good ones yet, but also could be harder to get higher ranks

[warped zephyr]

These are the mons I have that’s the strongest

[crude vale]

Do you have some Cyndaquil or Cubone or some rock/fire/ground berry finder? Or some good growlithe?

Also Diglet and geodude can be useful too

[neon prism]

It's dessert at snow drop for me (first time)

[torpid harbor]

BFS rat hype

[neon prism]

I'm thinking of substitute this caterpie

[torpid meteor]

yes keep using the Wartortle

you need the ing mon on the team

[neon prism]

Ah okay

[torpid meteor]

caterpies magnet isn't enough

[neon prism]

Gotcha

[torpid harbor]

Yeah caterpies don't see much use for now unless you get the berry on GG

[neon prism]

Hopefully I'll get a good spheal

[torpid harbor]

Much better off running your current team and catch good mons in snowdrop

[neon prism]

Too bad warturtle is not that good

He's pretty decent tho

[torpid harbor]

He's decent yeah

[neon prism]

Thanks fellas

[warped zephyr]

I do not, so should I stay in GG?

[crude vale]

Nah, you will get some eventually

There is a bonus cap on the islands depending on the styles that you have seen so I think its good to rotate between islands.

But go back to GG for good sleep day

Also there are exclusive mons in Taupe and Cyan

[hidden cargo]

current team

need sitrus and pamtre tho

[hidden cargo]

also

ive had two snooze sessions in a row, but didn’t get cyndaquil or charmander!

[crude vale]

I finally got a charmander the last week

But with a -ing nature

[hidden cargo]

great nature! but no berry finder s still

[crude vale]

Charge your phone

[hidden cargo]

whoa! found swablu too!

[crude vale]

Got Master 2 in Taupe with that team. I did some variation like adding Charmander for Sausages but mine had a bad nature. Wigglytuff helped too thanks to the energy that gave to my team and both her and Dodrio had Helping Bonus wich I think that helped too. Also I used a lot of tickets to get the ingredient storage full and get 100% berry drops. I did that mostly because I really wanted to get the incentive from Master 2 at Taupe and Im glad that it worked.

I focused mostly on doing chocolate salads if possible and the overheat one on Sunday (today)

Now this will be my team for next week. I will go back to Greengrass to get an extra 5% bonus in Greengrass for the Halloween event. I think this team can be fine but maybe I do some change depending on the berries or dishes that Snorlax wants. Raichu and Slowpoke have sleep EXP bonus and I want to get level 30 with Slowpoke, Gengar and Dugtrio.

[hidden cargo]

I've heard Raticate is very strong right now.

I rather dislike him to be honest, but I'll do it.

[crude vale]

You will do what?

[hidden cargo]

have him in my party a lot

[crude vale]

why?

I mean you got a really good one lr someting?

[hidden cargo]

Well ive been told its a great early-game mon.

[crude vale]

oh i understand now

yes it can be good early

and later it can be useful too for the tundra island

[hidden cargo]

oh really? nice!

so rat is just strong overall huh? like Butterfree!

[crude vale]

I dont see it as strong as butterfree but can be really useful on inslands with fav berry. Also will help to make dishes early game because it gets you apples that you can use for all types of dishes.

I got Mater 2 the last week on Taupe. Now Im back to GG after some months and got curry and normal, water and dark berry types. I will focus on getting berries for them and Gengar and Dugtrio will help with Solar Beam Curry.

[sly shale]

having doubts about running the mime, should i just splash gengar/blastoise?

[crude vale]

Its not specially good but you can use it to unlock potatoes at 30 if you still don’t have them and the nature will help to do that. Its fine to use specially if you need tomatoes for some dish this week. But if you already gets enough ingredients with your other mons I think it would be better to change it for a berry finder with fav berry like Pikachu or Cyndaquil if you have them

Yeah, it could be a good mon to raise to 30 for potatoes in the future but I think you should use another berry mon instead

Wich are your Snorlax’s fav dishes?

[sly shale]

dessert this week

i still need potatoes and leeks

dont have a good cyna

pichu is a skillchu

[versed hawk]

Curry this week. I’m on Taupe with a good camp ticket so I need to keep up with a rate of 50 ingredients per meal. Was thinking of running this team.

Was splashing blastoise for the ingredient gathering especially now that it’s at level 30 pulling cocoa. Should I make any changes? Would splashing gengar be better than quilava?

[crude vale]

I think Quilava is better because its your only berry mon in the team

Can you send pics form your espeon, quilava, arcanine and gengar?

Also you acn use tickets if you need ingredients

[versed hawk]

Here they are

[versed hawk]

Yeah I’m low on tickets at this point tbh

[crude vale]

I think your actual team is fine

[versed hawk]

Alright, thanks! I do find myself leaning towards using gengar over quilava for the sake of leveling it up since I don’t have any mons producing mushrooms yet

But I had been torn on whether that’s the right call

[sly shale]

i feel like gengar over arcanine would be a better choice

quilava is definitely staying

[versed hawk]

Gotcha! Thanks for the help all!

[crude vale]

That is what I thought too, that Arcanine is not so good (no skill related subskills) and Quilava will be more useful giving more strength

That Gengar is not the best giving you ingredients but its a really cool one. Berry finding on a fast mon will be helpful even if it will drop less ingredients and Helping Bonus will help to your entire party to be faster and the exp nature will help you to get levels 25 and 30 faster

[versed hawk]

For sure. Was asking for evaluation of the gengar yesterday because I thought it wasn't going to be too good given that it's an ingredient mon and it's not really getting any ingredient benefits, but was pleasantly surprised when I basically got the above evaluation. Definitely makes sense though!

I didn't get as much sleep last night, but Quilava and Gengar combined gave my like 3k strength in sneaky snacking over the course of about 6 hours! Definitely makes a difference!

[crude vale]

Just got Master with that team, 20% bonus on Greengrass and doinh mostly Solar Beam curry

[crude vale]

Temporary changes to get more tomatoes and skeep making solar beam curries or the omelette one at least

I think I will try to make egg bomb curry or dream eater butter curry on sunday too

[hidden cargo]

i only started playing last month, so my teams are still weak

[versed hawk]

Hit Master 2 today in Taupe for the first time! Expecting I’ll likely hit Master 4 tomorrow!

Thanks for the help from those who gave input this week

[crude vale]

Update of my team for the sleep exp bonus. I just added 2 sleep exp mons. And I will be able to unlock tails soon

[crude vale]

Congratulations! Getting higher ranks in Taupe is harder than on the previous islands and you got it in time for the event. Also remember that next week you have to go to Greengrass to be able to participate in the Halloween event!

[versed hawk]

Thanks!

Yep! Looking forward to that 100 million drowsy powder tomorrow!

And yeah definitely going to hit up Greengrass for the event!

[hidden cargo]

hey, does switching pokemon slow down the help speed?

[crude vale]

Why do you think that?

[vocal knoll]

I would imagine but have no actual verifiable proof on this that when you swap it in it starts it's own timer for 'helping', so you lose whatever progress that old pokemon made towards his help, but it's not like I have tested that or will bother to.
How I 'imagine' it works Pokemon progresses towards his Speed of Help time then procs. When you put new pokemon in I imagine he doesn't keep that SoH and instead just starts at 0. I'm sure some mathcord dudes have worked out the truth of that though

[feral jungle]

Hey here’s my team for this week. Any thoughts? Anyway I could make it better?

[polar hemlock]

Henlo!! I need your thoughts on my team. Am thinking of switching out my espeon to get some sleep hours to evolve another good pichu of mine but my espeon is so damn good 😭

[feral jungle]

Got salads this week so my team is mixed with snorlaxes favorite and ingredients to help make water veil tofu

[crude vale]

This is how I ended the last week and my Sunday dishes

Also my berries for this event and my provisional team. Idk if I should focus more on dishes or berries but I will try to do both. I will change slowpoke once I get tails.

I will change mankey for another Cubone and Slowpoke for Blastoise and I will try to do consistently the Overheat Salad

[wise abyss]

Hi! My Greengrass berries are Pecha, Leppa and Lum. It's Salad week.

I'm planning on running 2-3 Charmander (easy Bean Salad) and a Butterfree with Helping Bonus. Unsure about Slot 5.

Got 2 EfE options. Unsure which to include. I'm thinking Sylveon (caught as a Sylveon, not Eevee) since it has Main Skill Chance Up, but it has a lower Skill level. I have enough to evolve Jiggly into Wiggly, but Main Skill Chance down HURTS. Wanted to ask for advice in case I'm missing something.

[crude vale]

Did some changes on my team. Blastoise will help with fodder ingredients and I just unlocked Tails so now ingredient magnet is better. I will get more Herbs now but I hope Ginger is not a problem.

[versed hawk]

This is what I’ve got this week. Thinking of this team

Other preferred berry mons I have are these

Meals this week are Salads. Any changes I should make?

[limpid shuttle]

That's a lot of fiery herbs, which are awesome in 2 1/2 salads but overall this team will be relying on ingredient magnet and tickets to make real recipes. that said, the only change i wouuld recommend is diglet for Marowak if you have the candies to bump it up to 10 just because tomatoes can be their own recipe.

but that's such a fast Marowak too it's prolly ok as is

[versed hawk]

Would it be better to swap out Blastoise for Diglett in this case? Tomatoes and preferred berry

I could definitely candy diglett up to 10. Had initially gone Marowak because of the speed with preferred berries.

Need to keep my ingredient gain around a rate of 150 per day since I’m on 50 pot size with good camp right now.

So far I’ve been making the milk and sausage recipe but since I’m not using charmeleon I don’t think I’ll keep up with sausages

[limpid shuttle]

Yeah was just thinking about that. I think that Blastoise outclasses the Diglett too much especially if you've got a ingredient laden goal to be hitting

wait why is Houndour on the team? Entirely different berry, that should've clicked with me sooner

BFS is dope but it has an ingredient finding nature, swap that poor dog out and either give it the old yeller treatment or pray for mints

swap Diglett in for Houndour you should get an extra 41k strength @versed hawk

[versed hawk]

Oh good point. Houndour was in there so I could level it for Tundra next week

Swapped out houndour for dilett this week. Thanks!

[vast rover]

I’d like some help to build a team for this week’s event too! My berries are a little rough: Grepa, Belue, Pamtre, and my Snorlax wants curries which I’ve only gotten once since I started the game.

This is my current team:

I’m using a Raichu and a Pikachu for the Grepa berries, and I also have a Night Cap Pikachu. Then I have two ingredient mons to make a Solar Power Tomato Curry (10 tomatoes, 5 fiery herbs), and a Sylveon to heal.

Does this sound OK in y’all’s opinion?

I’m debating whether to use up all my berries and candies to power up the Raichu all the way to level 25 or not, even though its subskills are so sub-optimal

[limpid shuttle]

not only the subskills but the nature too. You could maybe salvage Raichu by NEVER clicking on it and just letting it be a sneaky snack mon, but that's pretty rough

but for that to be remotely worthwhile you'd need to powerlever to 25 like you're saying, and honestly I think you could find a better Pikachu. Yeah BFS is the dream come true but for how badly it wants to be an ingredient mon you're committing a huge number of resources for it to just get worse over time

asides from that your plan for solar power curry is manageable, especially since Raichu is attempting to shower you in apples to carry you between Victreebel and Gengar's lulls. Were that not the case I would've suggested rerolling GG isle but you can probably still pull out ok this week

[vast rover]

Ah thank you!! I did power level my Raichu to level 25 and ended up using lots of Handy Candy, but so far it’s been stellar. This would hopefully tide me over until I find a next great Pikachu.

Thanks for critiquing my team! Its been one of the more challenging weeks for Greengrass for me

[vocal knoll]

An (I'm garbage at 50+) mon can be fine at 25/30 for a long time, the main downside is sleeping with them spending more exp on them, they can be really good to throw in every now and then and let the 5% in the box do it's thing when you start to focus on other guys 🙂

[pine raft]

Hello! What do you think of this team Twistedwolf helped me build? It's balanced toward ingredients because I'm still running low, and I'm only on my third week

[crude vale]

I NEED GENGAR CANDIES

[crude vale]

I think you should focus more around berries. Maybe it could be nice to change Bublasaur or Charmander into a berry mon if you have one. All starters will be good so its worth to start raising them and keeping on your team. Same with Iggly and Pika, they will keep being good later too. Wich berries and dishes does you need?

[pine raft]

This week is desserts and lum/figy/yache

[crude vale]

Try to add some caterpie or cubone if you have them. Charmander will not help so much on dessert week so you can change him. If you have at least 2 caterpies you could even change 2 of your mons and focus more on getting honey while getting more fav berries

Anther harder dishes could be:
If you get more Pikachus and Cubones during this event you could make Ember Ginger Tea wich requires 9 Ginger and 7 apples

And with Squirtle and Pikas you can make Lucky Chant Apple pie with 4 milk and 12 apples

If you cant use 14-16 ingredients focus on the dishes that only requires milk, honey or apples instead

Now that my Gengar gives more mushrooms and less Herbs I changed my team to try to keep making good dishes, but I will get less berries

And slowpoke is there for both Tails and sleep exp bonus

[pine raft]

I only have one Caterpie and no cubones, and the Caterpie kind of sucks... Though I'll keep an eye out for more Pikachu's and cubones (though I know that hat Pikachu is worse because they can't evolve)

[crude vale]

Even if its not the best at least is not bad so can help. Also event pikachu cant evolve but is faster than regular pikachu. And about Cubone it can still help too even if its not great, but if you find a really good one you can keep it to use in Taupe. Eventually you will get better ones but using the ones that you already have, specially if they are berry mons with fav berry can help you to get higher earlier. And even its possible that you dont get a better one soon so maybe its worth to start leveling the mons that you already have

[pine raft]

i'll do my best to keep all of that in mind! it's a lot of what ifs, but i'm excited to see who shows up every day

[peak timber]

Is there any way to make the Extra Helpful S Main Skill useful? Like, can you swap in a team of slowpokes to farm tails?

[pine raft]

I caught a cubone last night, do you think I should keep the Caterpie or cubone in? Snorlax likes both of these berries

[crude vale]

Yeah, you can use both, they are not bad

Both could be better but will be useful for now

[hidden cargo]

Hey, according to serebii, Sylveon should not be obtainable right?

Because they share the same requirements for getting Espeon and Umbreon.

[crude vale]

You chose the evolution

[hidden cargo]

oh okay! wow

Never expected this game to give us that kind of power.

[meager niche]

In general marowak isnt the best investment long term because it has a pretty slow frequency. On Taupe a quilava is kinda equal to it and thats before it evolves into Typhlosion. Quilava is also available at a much lower level.

Though the one nice thing is you can use a quilava and a marowak and not have to split the candies between the two, as opposed to using two quilavas.

[crude vale]

Not long term but that one can be useful this week or until he get better options so I think its fine to have at least one but now he should focus on getting better things

[meager niche]

It can make a pretty significant difference dumping candies into two pokemon of the same species though, so the second point i made i guess is actually something worth thinking about imo

a level 22 quilava and marowak are probably quite a bit better than 2 level 19 or 20 quilavas

[pine raft]

i'll try to keep all of that in mind! i might swap both in for now but i won't invest in either yet

[hidden cargo]

anybody master the rng yet?

i want to get my fancy eggs man

two ing ticks s, and no eggs

[meager niche]

once you get a slowking with tails at 30 you should imo start saving your ingredient tickets

I'm trying to get my slowking to level 30 before any other ingredient mons so there's a higher chance of pulling tails

since theres no leeks, mushrooms, potatoes etc

[hidden cargo]

a slowking huh? well i started late and am unfairly behind everyone else.

so by the time your advice would apply, maybe the game will update to play faster and it won’t matter.

but yeah whatever!! haha

[meager niche]

Unfairly behind? For playing less? Sounds entitled to me

but regardeless for most people if you compare yourself to others in this game you're gonna get frustrated because there's always going to be people spending more money than you

[hidden cargo]

lol, well its just my opinion.

maybe i just prefer speedier games

but i wouldn’t call myself entitled. infact, i’d call it good taste.

[meager niche]

Calling yourself unfairly behind despite having played the game less sounds entitled to me

[hidden cargo]

hold on, we’re disturbing this chat… this is off-topic stuff

[crude vale]

I usually need more than 2 tickets for the ingredient that it want

The good thing is that I can get slowpoke tails now when I use tickets

[hidden cargo]

thats cool

well, i wasn’t able to get the ingredients in time…

another “mixed juice” for me and lax…

too bad we can’t make beef tea with the sausages!

[crude vale]

You didn’t could do any other dish?

Even the ones that only requires basic ings like apples or milk?

[crude vale]

My Taupe Hollow team for salads. Im using it because I have higog as fav berry and im making strong dishes too

Cubone is a placeholder. I will put a Cynda on his place once I get a good one.

[hidden cargo]

im trying to collect diamonds, so im trying to unlock rare dishes early

my current setup is focusing on hustle protein smoothie

[crude vale]

I mean instead of wasting xp it could had been better to make a dish

You have still enough days for making that specific dish

Also I unlocked my last ingredient today! Now I will be able to make all dishes too

But yeah, unlocking all dishes asap is a good idea, not only for diamonds but because it will make easier and faster to make these dishes because you can see better the ingredients needed or missed and the strength with your current level

[pine raft]

hello, it's me again!

I just evolved my Charmander, and I want to swap it in, even though it's dessert week, because I'm consistently running out of ingredients at mealtime, and I'm worried about running out of ingredient tickets. Should I swap out Bulbasaur or Squirtle?

why am i running out of ingredients? to be honest... i bought the premium sleepy pass, and i thought, "it's an event week, so i might as well use the good camp ticket" so now my pot is a maximum of a whopping 41... and it'll be twice that on sunday 0_o

or maybe even swap caterpie back out? even though people say berries are more efficient than meals...

[brisk umbra]

Taupe team nxt wk.
Thoughts on running a 2nd eeveeloution (flareon) for the wartortle?

[crude vale]

If you need more ingredients you can use it specially if you will need even more ingredients for Sunday’s dishes. You can use the sausages as fodder at least

[crude vale]

I think you need more skill trigger skills and nature on Flareon because you want to proc its skill more consistently and make bigger dishes

I think you should wait for a better eevee

I think a berry mon could be more useful

Or an ing mon if it allows you to make better dishes

[brisk umbra]

Rn the turtle is there for fodder and the odd magnet procs. Its either this or a generic berrymon

Wht do u thimk

[plush karma]

What's the best dish I can make with a heracross?

[crude vale]

I think its better to wait for knowing next week dishes and check if you will need certain ingredient to make a better dish. Also don’t you have a cubone or another Cyndaquil? Maybe they can help more if you are getting enough ingredients already.

[crude vale]

Roasted Heracross

Something that requires honey

Or mushrooms if you have it at 30

Wich are your Snorlax ‘s fav dishes ?

[brisk umbra]

Yea i mean cynda or cubone whn i mention generic berrymon haha.

[hidden cargo]

hey speaking of dishes!

Respect “weak” Pokemon

like Karen said, that is only the selfish perception of people

in this game for example, some “weak” Pokemon carry rare ingredients

[crude vale]

Wich “weak” pokemon are you talking about?

And who is Karen?

[hidden cargo]

Karen of the Johto Elite Four

and im talking about low-tier mons, like say Croagunk

[crude vale]

Yeah, for example croagunk can be useful if you need oil and dont have a better one in your team

i was using one before getting ditto, but ditto is hard to get and not always you will want a mon like spheal or shuppet on your team just for oil

And there are more underated mons that can be good depending on the situation

[brisk umbra]

Whee its curries

[brisk umbra]

Throw him into the mix too

[crude vale]

This is how this team ended being for Greengrass

Back at Taupe. This is the team that I will use. Ditto still can’t get leeks but I eant to keep leveling it so eventually will drop them so I will be able to make better dishes at curry week consistently. I also will try to do at least once all curries.

I also want to get a good cynda to use him instead of my BFS -speed cubone

[limpid shuttle]

This is my taupe team, but I'm wondering if it should be modified slightly. I'm looking for a Cynda to replace the BFS Sudo, and I'm concerned my current Charmander isn't actually better than my other options

these are who could fill that slot, the level 10 char is on the team currently

[peak timber]

seems optimal to me. At least for this week

[warped zephyr]

My very first week at taupe and it’s dessert: I think I’ll use this team to unlock recipes and hope for a better week next? Idk what I can use that’s taupe specific for desserts

[limpid shuttle]

yeah first week on Taupe w/ desserts is a painful combo, no one good for taupe wants to make desserts. Just take the 5% island bonus and spend the week leveling like you said

[proud lantern]

You are doing your best by running ing magnet pokemon I think that is your best bet, you'll find taupe berry pokemon while you are there, just throw biscuits at them and pray to Arceus you don't get desserts at taupe again

I'm doing my first week at snowdrop... I'm also just kind of running good pokemon I want to level and just here for a 5% bonus in the future, we are in a similar boat except curries on snowdrop is way easier than dessert on taupe

[warped zephyr]

yeah i dont expect to get high snorlax power this week, just get my 1st area bonus

afterwards hopefully ill get curries or salads

if i get another dessert ill run the same team and level them in taupe lol

[hidden cargo]

hmm??

dessert is bad on taupe??

Its got Ginger Tea and Ginger Cookies tho

and Soybeans from Geo is nice

[warped zephyr]

which mons should i use for those?

[hidden cargo]

cyndaquil and geodude

[sand drift]

what are some good early midgame (~39 pot size but no lv30 ings) dishes to build for for taupe salad? Overheat ginger seems quite good but it's hard to get that many herbs

[vestal sedge]

Just splash a Gengar and make Overheat

Contrary Chocolate is good too but you will need to splash a Blastoise for it

[echo jetty]

Hi lovely people, I’m at taupe this week (yes me too haha) and wondering if this team is fine. Yes I have Vaporeon haha which probably for some of you doesn’t make sense, I just don’t have a good Cynda or a second Charmander to fill up that spot at the moment and I need milk for some stew recipes (happy to have you recommend better mons)

At the moment I’m about to hit Great 2. It’s super slow for me and just wondering if I’m also at a good pace. Thank you 🙏💜

[hidden cargo]

hey, i need to activate energy for everyone. how do i do it

[echo jetty]

Would’ve help to have  « skill trigger » as your subskills

[hidden cargo]

ohh, i see

well that’s ok. I can probably find more iggly’s later.

Thanks =~)

[echo jetty]

No worries 😌🙏

[hidden cargo]

say, running water mons on taupe is okay if they get good ingredients

there supposed to be weaker right? but they don’t seem that weak!

[hidden cargo]

current team for Taupe. getting Moomoo Caprese and Dazz Apple Cheese

[crude vale]

I think you could use some digglet if you find a decent one with leeks at 30

You can start raising it, have fav berry and gets you ingredients that you could want

Its good to focus on dishes but barries are still imporant too, specially if you can keep making these dishes or better with fav berry mons

[hidden cargo]

yeah! i do have a good diglett actually!

but my best oil mon is croagunk right now

not very good, timid

-speed of help

[echo jetty]

Any feedback ? Now I’m great 4 halfway to get to great 5. Feel slow still 😛

[limpid shuttle]

nah honestly most of us who just started at Taupe are around there, unless you've got a great Cynda or amazing Gengar you're about at par since island bonus is 0% currently. If you really need milk maybe swap Vaporeon for Blastoise if you've got one, but yeah since Cynda is the only berry mon designed for Taupe it's hard to feel like you're making stellar progress there without one

[echo jetty]

I have a Cynda but I don’t feel it’s good enough so hopefully this week I find one and get to be better for next week 🥹 thanks for your message and great tips 💜🙏

[crude vale]

Oh no… it’s padoru time again…

[crude vale]

Marowak can work too… its worse than Cynda but its still fine and helps you to save cynda candies. But unless the cynda is really bad I think its still worth to use until she gets a better one.

But yeah, the first weeks at Taupe are hard

I missed two meals by mistake so maybe I will not be able to get the incense this week

[limpid shuttle]

https://youtu.be/hWi41b6nBJg

[warped zephyr]

Changed my taupe setup now that my absol is 25 with ing M

I think this should help with desserts currently G5 almost U1 for only being first week at taupe

Hoping to find a BFS cubone to replace my BFS butterfree

[echo jetty]

My incense is at Master 4 this week😂 won’t get there 💯

[hidden cargo]

i found an evolved pokemon i could have catched, but ive been previously advised to avoid feeding evolved pokemon.

so i basically shot myself in the foot because of them

hey, what is the best Eevee lution

i have a pretty good eevee

[crude vale]

Some of my best mons are evolved ones. Usually evolving a mon is better but its fine to get evolved mons too because you save a lot of candies and time

Sometimes the extra storage and skill level is not so impactful if the mon is good enough

[crude vale]

Sadly that eevee is not so good, only the nature is good.

[frank blaze]

If its berry pokemon, i think its fine to catch

[proud lantern]

I throw biscuits at them, berry or not, especially if they are hungry and a good pokemonm yeah they won't be perfect but they save a lot on investing by being both higher level and already evolved, I don't usually regret catching them

Like the gengar I caught during the Halloween event. Totally usable, you mught even say good. That wouldn't have been caught if I followed that advicd and now I'll never struggle with herbs or mushrooms lol

I caught girl dinner on Sunday for the Halloween event, although I fed it most of the biscuits on Halloween

[hidden cargo]

Yeah, definitely feeding evolved mons on occasion from now on

Especially if they are hungry

[hidden cargo]

I hope I get balanced somehow tonight

I want to catch Pupitar and Cyndaquil

[hidden cargo]

current team! working towards Overheat Ginger Salad

thankfully, i have enough tomatoes

just need ginger and fiery herb

so happy i finally got that pupitar

definitely gonna use bonus biscuits on stage 1 mons occassionally

and even stage 2 if hungry

[plush karma]

If I had to replace togikiss with one pokemone to best compliment the rest of this team what would you guys recommend?

[proud lantern]

Potato Golem

[plush karma]

Thank you

[hidden cargo]

my dad messed up the order because of my poor instructions…

now im all out of tomatoes!

[crude vale]

Wich are your fav berries and dishes?

[sly shale]

planning to go TH for the first time next week with this team.

potential substitutes.
or should i just not go?

[plush karma]

Don't really have a favorite dish or berry. A strong one. I'm on the fence of maybe adding s berry mom that also increases pot size since i have so many ingredients makers.

[hidden cargo]

doi-yo!!!

Chocolate Salad team!

[crude vale]

I mean the ones that want Snorlax this week.

Wich berries gives 2x strength this week and if you have curry, salad or desserts week

[hidden cargo]

hey, which ing mon gives chocolate at lvl 10

chiko and duck are all i have rn

and some rly low level slowpoke

[vestal sedge]

Absol gives Cacao at 10, but it's very rare

You are forced to use Chiko/Duck/Slowpoke if you don't have level 30 Blastoise

[hidden cargo]

wow that sucks

[crude vale]

I need some cacao too

[hidden cargo]

ya know, this game is supposed to encourage going to sleep, but im honestly morw comfortable ignoring this game while I sleep

current team

i like to focus on completing the recipe dex. ive done as much as i can this week so far

not sure which ingredients to focus on now

gonna go to cyan beach and get slowpoke tails, i guess!

[brisk umbra]

Grepa rawst belue and desserts

Prolly choc cake and sneak snac the 2 pikas

[vocal knoll]

Man I really didn't expect at 30 how muc hmy charizard absolutely fills my ing bag, makes me want to swap out my wartortle occasionally with someone else but I really need the sausage/milk for curry weeks. What did you guys do when your ing guys are just too much ing? I'm trying to avoid just selling lowcost ingredients but that's my next step I think

[brisk umbra]

@oak nest swapping out one of the pikas

[oak nest]

Hm?

[brisk umbra]

For a 2nd eeveelution

[oak nest]

Ah that's what you meant

[brisk umbra]

Yep

[oak nest]

Well looking at your team, the reason you'd place one is for a pot EVlution, correct?

[brisk umbra]

Yea

[oak nest]

Since the 2 ing mons may be producing much ings

Well then sure I guess if you want to focus on that aspect it's fine

The team will be alot more splashable that way

[brisk umbra]

Aights tyty

[crude vale]

Last week I could get Master 3 on Taupe but was hard. This week im back at Taupe but I got Desserts. My main priority will be to unlock all desserts. Getting master 3 again would be nice but I don’t like my incense for this week.

That geodude is there because I need beans but I will change it if I need other ingredients

Also I evolved Cynda even if mine was really bad but its good for getting more ginger and will be there until I get a really good one.

I have just changed the team, had Gengar because of the Neroli’s restorative tea but Blastoise and Ivisaur are better for desserts and Ingredient magnet can give me some ingredients that I need. I will level Ivisaur too, I didn’t got desserts in weeks so it didn’t got a lot of use

[warped zephyr]

2nd week at taupe, I got curries this week, I’m not sure which food I can make unless I switch out an ing Mon with another

[boreal schooner]

my snorlax and my team. grassland, trying to get the last 5% bonus before i think about where to go next. dont have luck with the good mons.

[crude vale]

Maybe is worth to stay on Greengrass because there will be an event on next week and it will be easier to find more mons there

[boreal schooner]

i thought event is for all zones?

[crude vale]

Yeah

I think I will go to cyan

There could be an eevee incense there

I said Greengrass because its easier to get higher ranks and find more mons there

So higher chances of getting eevees and more shiny chances too

[proud lantern]

Yeah you swap in a berry pokemon for a bit and swap the ingredient one back in as needed.

[vocal knoll]

Went cyan salads this week, I'm definitely running through sausages and charizard got me good using ginger as fodder but I'm considering adding my L26 gengar in so that I can aim for 30 to unlock mushrooms
https://i.imgur.com/uCnX2YJ.png
https://i.imgur.com/40pC0vz.png
I can actually swap him in from wartortle without losing much, and since I'm comfortably hitting Master8, is ther really a huge benefit once you get Master3-4 or whatever for your incense? Im just trying to get cyan % up mostly

[crude vale]

I think its worth to unlock mushrooms because you could get higher in the next weeks if you use them

[crude vale]

Only 2 dishes left!

[hidden cargo]

current ing team

dad keeps wasting my ingredients, and I only have about 30 ings total right now

So I just want to fill up my ing purse. i don’t care what the ings are

[hidden cargo]

i have too many togepis

[crude vale]

Are some of them good?

Also there are an impostor among them

[haughty lion]

Switching to Cyan next Monday. Hoping for Desserts, but that's not too much of a priority for me. Should I focus on Pokémon by berry frequency, strength, count, or rate/TTF? Because getting berries faster could basically mean getting level ups quicker, but more strength could make those pickups and meals really count...

[hidden cargo]

Hey so Absol can only be found in GG?

[crude vale]

Tundra too

Only missing the dish that I will make this sunday. Until then this will be my team and I will focus on the mushroom tea mostly.

[hidden cargo]

hey, i can’t use my phone between 12 and 8 pm. How do I trigger skills between those times?

im trying to get my dad to do it, but I don’t like bothering him all the time

im thinking about asking sb to just change how Energy works

[peak timber]

if a skill would have triggered during that time it will trigger at 8pm. just can't get multiple triggers

I'd recommend avoiding skill mons during that time if you have other viable options

[crude vale]

I think that is good enough. You can even use certain skill mon because even if it procs once you at least could activate it. But some skill mons could be better than others and its better if you want its ingredients or berries

[crude vale]

My team for this Sunday and finally all dishes unlocked

[hidden cargo]

hey, how do I get balanced sleep type without tracking my sleep?

i got dozing today because i couldnt sleep, and don’t ask why.

[crude vale]

Last week

This week I will be on GG. Got desserts and nice berries. I will focus on Lovely Kiss Smothie mostly.

[hidden cargo]

i still can’t believe you got a good ivysaur. my bulbasaur is pretty weak

im running chikorita instead

[neon prism]

What's a good salad team for cyan?

[proud lantern]

Do you use totodiles? Do you have a good pokemon for cocoa? You can splash a cocoamon for contrary meat

[hidden cargo]

Ceaser 's decent too

I personally would have no shame putting char in there too

Psyduck and Slowpoke may seem weak, but they can farm cocoa decent

[vocal knoll]

Ugh, I chose cyan before I saw sylveon/jolteon are only gonna be on GG showing up sadly.

[hidden cargo]

Don't sweat it. You'll more than enough candy to evolve three Eevees!

[crude vale]

You can find Vaporeon on Cyan

And an evolved Sylveon will be better than a wild one

[crude vale]

My Venusaur is not bad but its not ideal either. Have a +ing -exp nature but the skills are skill level ones wich are cool but ing/ inv/ speed related skills could be better. It gives honey only wich is really good for desserts but worse for other weeks.

Also Im in a similar situation as you but with charmander and Cyndaquil, I still don’t have a good one of any of these

[hidden cargo]

ahh i see

yeah i have a passable cynda and char, but i find them rarely these days

Has anyone discovered the skill trigger formula yet? How long is the cooldown exactly?

[proud lantern]

It's not certain or exact but there are approximations and the skill rate is different for each pokemon and somewhat random, probably works similar to candy except it is triggered by helps, candy is triggered regardless of a help happening.

Anyway this discussion is finally obsolete as there is a place for team building at #team-building

Should I replace a member of my team with this Eevee (who I will evolve into a Vaporeon)?

Hey, does Helping Bonus stack?

What about Energy Recover and Sleep XP

[vocal knoll]

Yea to a limit on HB. Unsure others limit

[stark pecan]

Is it smart to literally always have sylveon/wigglytuff on a team? Is their data somewhere that shows higher energy is the most efficient over having an additional berry mon instead?
