m18/m20 runs

[dusky monolith]

Maybe I’ll make a run next year with better mons

[stark sequoia]

yeah!

[jolly zephyr]

Now where's smoochie

[toxic gust]

oops, i almost forgot i was doing an m20 run lost in the sauce today

[jolly zephyr]

I was worried hadn't seen you this afternoon yet

[toxic gust]

i was in no risk of failing unless i just completely forgot to cook dinner

which almost did actually happen

[jolly zephyr]

[toxic gust]

anyways i thiiink i'm the last person? so that means we all made it

[stark sequoia]

🎉

[jolly zephyr]

🎉

[old agate]

Yeah yeah, cya tomorrow sir/madame

also woohoo!

no rest for the wicked though next week I prep ingredients, and then I go for M20 lapis

The M20 rush never stops

[old agate]

Hey guys, whooo is going to try and M20 something in the next few weeks, or for new years?

[haughty cobalt]

Might try to M20 cyan if I roll curries or dessers

[old agate]

Honestly, cyan is so easy, with a big meal I think anyone can roll it

[haughty cobalt]

[haughty cobalt]

I m20ed GG with soft potato chowder

During the last cooking event

[old agate]

yeeee you got this then

1 of the new years weeks is 1.25x cooking I think

Easy roll

[jolly zephyr]

I M20 GG with dream eater

[old agate]

Ninja salad

[odd lotus]

I m20'ed GG with eclairs but I didn't decide to go for it until the thursday of

[jolly zephyr]

Idk if ill try an M20 for a bit, I have a plan for Cyan M20 which will take a bit

[odd lotus]

depends on spawns for me

[jolly zephyr]

Might do taupe or snowdrop if we get another packed portions

[dusky monolith]

Not for a while LOL

[haughty cobalt]

I have a ton of high level mons but not a lot of good ing mons cuz I did something called shiny only for a while

and I blended all my good mons

And only used shinies

[old agate]

Your sacrifice was for the greater good

[odd lotus]

I'm at 72% crit chance and 1.5h left before bedtime

[old agate]

What are you at?

Errr SP wise

[odd lotus]

6.2M

[haughty cobalt]

No it was not

I lost good mono ing mons

I remember them

[old agate]

okay yeah true it was mostly a really bad idea

May they live on

As candy

[haughty cobalt]

Have u heard of #1153327001562783826

[old agate]

Hmmm will be close

But I believe!

[odd lotus]

if I don't crit I'll be 250k off and whistle

[old agate]

I haveee!!

Bless those souls it would take me years to even get to M18 with a shiny team

[haughty cobalt]

[old agate]

Oh man…that’s a lot of whistles tbh

[odd lotus]

around 8, I have 19

[haughty cobalt]

It took Dougie (the person who started the whole thing) 2 years to M20 GG

[old agate]

Danggg

Yeah I could never

I’m too impatient

At least they have a crap ton of biscuits

Not sure what for…but eh

[haughty cobalt]

I did it for a year

[haughty cobalt]

Not true

feed mons to increase fl

For increased shiny chances

[old agate]

Y’all…why didn’t you do that on an alt account

Oh truee

Ouch

[haughty cobalt]

Most do

[old agate]

True legend

[haughty cobalt]

I didn't

[old agate]

the true shiny play through are the friends we lost along the way

[haughty cobalt]

No

I made some shiny friends

[old agate]

Also new goal: since Valentine’s Day is 1.5x meals and is set to desserts

I’m going to try pushing for M20 OGPP that week

[odd lotus]

82%, time's up

LOL my gct ended and I didn't have room for all my filler

but I got the crit

[naive raft]

I just m20'd cyan and literally missed two meals this week lol

[silent seal]

ye olde taupe island during packed portions!

[dusky monolith]

@jade aurora

You were curious

[jade aurora]

I remember yours was looking pretty dubious when I left

[dusky monolith]

I was worried but I clutched it with 1 crit

[old agate]

New goal: complete all M20 up to OGPP by Valentine’s Day

If I can do this, I’ll have completed nearly all M20s besides ex and AC before day 300 of play

[jolly zephyr]

Insane goal

I believe though

[old agate]

Ready for my M20 lapis run next week

[haughty cobalt]

Wait what's happening next week?

I forgot

[haughty cobalt]

Oh, nothing

ur just the goat

[vital sparrow]

What on earth gives that many pumpkins

[old agate]

2 double ing+ gourgeists with 3 additional HBs

that were put out for 6 days + overnight

[old agate]

Let the race…begin !

[silent seal]

good luck everyone!!!

[old agate]

I think it may just be me this week

[stark sequoia]

M20 on a dead week is a choice

Good lucko

[old agate]

What can I say? I’m a glutton for punishment

[stark sequoia]

[old agate]

End of day 1!

Made it to masters - so far so good!

[old agate]

Crit to start the day! Should make it to M8 without worry today!

[old agate]

End of day 2 for celebratory M20-week-before-Christmas Lapis Run!

[old agate]

Finally got a AAA usable cornbear today too

Is it amazing? No. Does it reach all corn recipe requirements? Yes!

[old agate]

End of day 3!

Yeah I’ll be fine

[old agate]

Whoops I didn’t post last night, but end of day 5!

Should hit M20 by early Sunday

[haughty cobalt]

[old agate]

I am going to miss lapis though

It’s not often I get the power of 5 HB guys

RIP my HB guys after this run

[jolly zephyr]

How long ago did you start?

[old agate]

Started around May 5th !

End of day 6! Off to bed but doing well!

[haughty cobalt]

[old agate]

And with a big crit to start the day

M20

[jolly zephyr]

[mild mantle]

Now you can stock back up for next week!

[old agate]

oh boyyy, yeah I didn't plan this out well

just praying for desserts next week

[haughty cobalt]

[old agate]

…. Do I dare try for M20 OGPP with only 40% AB?

On valentines week?

[haughty cobalt]

Don't think I'm making it to M20 this week

Got close tho

[toxic gust]

next time for sure

did my back to back m20 runs for cyan and taupe, now its time to take a break on lapis until snowdrop

[jolly zephyr]

Taupe M20 at 42%

[old agate]

New mon making me rethink OGPP m20 plans….

[jolly zephyr]

Same here

Ogpp spawns kind of dookie

Atleast some of us get to see how the mon is before we choose for the week

[odd lotus]

welp. glad I did that one already

it's probably lapis for me unless cutiefly replaces bulba

[jolly zephyr]

Idk I'll go for any M20 during this event

Might just full send AC though

[mild mantle]

Lol guess I'll try Lapis instead of Snowdrop

[haughty cobalt]

I still might be able to M20 cyan seeing that cutiefly and ribombee spawn there

I kinda want to go to lapis tho since I need a bulbasaur tho...

[odd lotus]

I don't think I've GCTed on lapis before

[old agate]

nvm, decided to say f it to spawns and do M20 OGPP vday week - I would have to wait numerous more months to attempt again if I did, so mind as well do it now

I'll be in amber canyon hell for MONTHS after vday anyways, so I'm sure I'll get a chance to catch cutieflys on other occassions

[jolly zephyr]

You know what

I think ill do it

I just need to prep coffee and a little bit of cocoa next week

It entirely depends on what ribombee does and how well

[toxic gust]

how much AB do you have? i have on average like 30% on all the normal islands bc i dumped so much AB into GGEX but i'll probably be able to m20 OGPP soon

[old agate]

I have 40%! I do some calcs on OGPP and I think it’ll be enough! If I did it post event for a 1.25x bonus I’d need to increase that bonus by 15-20% probably

Gonna get it out of the way so all I have to do is camp AC until the spring festival for salads!

Do OgPP M20 with us

I have no AB in GGEX so I’ll rot there for 4 months after I get AC M20

[toxic gust]

i really like cutiefly tho so idk...

i only got snowdrop and ogpp left but i have 30% AB on both

ogpp's spawns are just so doodoo this event

[old agate]

Hey if it’s any consolation, I did snowdrop with around 18% AB, so I wouldn’t count it out yet

Wordd ogpp spawns got the worst of it - ditto and mawile. I’m hoping I can use the pseudo-spawns as a way to fish for other mons and ignore ditto and Mawile as much as I can lmaoo

Have you done AC too?

[jolly zephyr]

How did you do snowdrop with 18%

[toxic gust]

no but it looks like ogpp > ac > snowdrop for me in terms of ease of m20ing, having no snowdrop berry mons is so painful

[jolly zephyr]

Behold, my berry mons

[old agate]

P a I n

When raenonx tells me I’ll hit M20, I do it, but it took until the last day to do it. I made level 65 pancakes the whole week

[old agate]

That’s very fair - snowdrop is pretty painful. It’s on the cusp of just not being able to do without some good strength or berry mons

Up to you if you wanna pursue anything on vday week! Cutiefly is super cute so I def feel the FOMO! Follow your passions 🌈 ☀️ 🌟

[haughty cobalt]

M20 cyan is coming next week

I’ve already started stacking

[old agate]

Pumpkin squad is out - 270 more pumpkins to go by Sunday

[jolly zephyr]

Ing bag is looking good

[rigid barn]

Ingredients secured

Juice locked and loaded

[old agate]

Pumpkin update

[old agate]

I am ready thanks team pumpkin

[mild mantle]

What am I doing

[old agate]

Making waffle cola

[mild mantle]

While sweating over curries and no bag space

[haughty cobalt]

Prep is done

I would have liked more tomatoes but my luxray only gave me berries today so whatever

[mild mantle]

Only a few cooks before maxing Eclairs. Should I level up Pancakes and Waffles after that?

Jk my pot's not big enough even with GCT and I don't have the shards to upgrade yet Saving Waffles for Sunday

Pancakes it is after Eclairs hit 65

[stark sequoia]

Off to an excellent start

[old agate]

The run has begun!

And starting off strong at 40% AB!

[haughty cobalt]

M5 after breakfast

[stark sequoia]

Lunch crit

[dusky monolith]

[jade aurora]

2/2

[mild mantle]

Day 1 dinner done. So far so good

[odd lotus]

dedenne and garde both just got their first proc of the day :|

[odd lotus]

I'm not worried tbh, I'm just salty

[old agate]

Dinner crit!

2/3 crits, looking good for a Monday

[rigid barn]

2/3 crits today and ended the day with a little over 1 million. It's a little short of my projected goal but still looking good

[stark sequoia]

Forgot to put the berry idiots in at night

Hope that doesn't ruin me

[jolly zephyr]

3/4 meal crits so far, Tuesday morning is looking good

The realization is dawning on me that I probably will not be able to hit M20 if I'm not able to keep this going

( or massive Sunday dishes)

[mild mantle]

Not bad for 1st cook. Maxed Eclairs due to crit breakfast. Pancake dinner should ensure I stay on track.

Honey truly reigns supreme in Desserts

[old agate]

I believe in you JC also if you’re on a similar path to me, you only really need a crit a day to make it work

[old agate]

I am at 70% for my next meal…who wants to take bets on if I will crit my dinner

I missed my breakfast and lunch crit, so this dinner is necessary

[haughty cobalt]

yeah ur missing dinner too

sorry but that's just what's gonna happen

[old agate]

https://tenor.com/view/pikaded-gif-25719770

Im toast

[haughty cobalt]

*burnt toast

Nah I'm joking, ur gonna crit dinner

[old agate]

👀 👀

I’m gonna hold you to that

[haughty cobalt]

[jade aurora]

Remember, +70 = 80

[old agate]

Never punished

[mild mantle]

One day my Pancakes may hope to be as strong as yours

Day 2 on pace

[stark sequoia]

Dinner crit

3 crits 3 non crits so far

[old agate]

Goal reached for the day! And with 5 hours of berry bozo’ing to go still

Should reach 2mil by bed time

[haughty cobalt]

I TOLD YOU

[old agate]

You’re right, I should’ve believed you birdy

You’re safe…for now

[jade aurora]

50/50 is great

[haughty cobalt]

I was more than safe

I crit at 50% and a bfs shiny

[jolly zephyr]

Lunch crit, but no dinner crit sitting at +40% for breakfast

4/6 on crits so far

Just after dinner Tuesday

[old agate]

@jolly zephyr we’re going to the moon

[jolly zephyr]

Progress is looking good so far

Hoping for massive Sunday crits

[haughty cobalt]

[rigid barn]

2/3 crits today and ending the day with ~2.25 million. If this keeps up, I'll likely make it to M20!
The pictures below are my meals, my end of day strength, and my night team.

[old agate]

Breakfast crittt

[stark sequoia]

Lunch crit

4/8 crits so far

[haughty cobalt]

I'm at 2/7 so far

[jolly zephyr]

5/8 crits so far

[mild mantle]

1/3 crits today. Thankfully still on track

[old agate]

MOMENTS BEFORE DISASTER

[rigid barn]

1/3 meal crits today, I'm a little behind my projected goal but m20 is still salvageable

Putting in my Tasty team and my Berry team for the night!

[jolly zephyr]

Oh yeah, no dinner crit today so 5/9 on crits so far

Just under pace I think

So Sunday crits will be big

[haughty cobalt]

2m before Thursday breakfast

I feel like I should be able to hit it

[stark sequoia]

Breakfast crit, 5/10 crits so far

Here's how I'm doing, slightly behind pace I think but I am not worried

[mild mantle]

Missed lunch crit. dinner

[odd lotus]

no overnight procs on dedenne again... holding off on breakfast but there's only about an hour left

[mild mantle]

Dinner crit! We are back.

[haughty cobalt]

Dinner crit at 30%

[jolly zephyr]

7/12 on crits so far

[haughty cobalt]

Damn, I'm at 5/12

I'm doing better than I thought tho tbh

[odd lotus]

I'm at 4/11

but I should make 5/12

[odd lotus]

4/12 7.5 procs my ass

[haughty cobalt]

Damn, that sucks

My skill level 4 wreal is going kinda crazy tho

[old agate]

Got 3 (!!!) crits today! Didn’t take a photo of the breakfast one, but this makes up for my bad luck from yeaturday

I technically only need 1-2 more crit now to hit M20, so it’s safe to say that I think I’ll be getting M20 OGPP this week

[stark sequoia]

Was about 100k behind pace when I put the phone to bed

Not the worst

5/12 crits

[odd lotus]

my original goal was to finish on Friday and that's not happening (I'd need all 3 crits). with the rest of the week I can pretty much autocook my way there so I should probably switch to leveling recipes

[mild mantle]

Yeah that's enough buffer

[stark sequoia]

5/13

second morning in a row without a Wreal wake up proc

[haughty cobalt]

Argent unblock me

I can't react with

[jolly zephyr]

7/13 in crits at friday morning, about to sleep

[haughty cobalt]

oh yeah ur an owl

I forgot

[jolly zephyr]

Graveyard shift

[haughty cobalt]

make sure u don't oversleep and miss lunch

[jolly zephyr]

I wont

Almost did the other day but then I just time traveled a little bit

[haughty cobalt]

well, gn JC

[jolly zephyr]

[stark sequoia]

You have been unblocked

[old agate]

[sand isle]

Yeeesssssssss. Got my 2nd ever M20. This time it's Taupe M20 . Absolutely smashed it. Clodsire eclairs go brrrr.

Mvp

[old agate]

So I missed lunch

Whoops

[haughty cobalt]

[mild mantle]

Didn't crit dinner but lunch kept Snorlax on track

[stark sequoia]

Venusaur went absolutely sicko mode and I get to take it out already a day early

[dusky monolith]

Let’s go argent

[jade aurora]

Amazing

[odd lotus]

my temp venusaur has been popping off today too, it's somehow keeping up with waffles even though it's level 30 with IFS and nothing else

[odd lotus]

I did end up critting all 3 today well, I put some good levels on waffles

[jolly zephyr]

8/15 I think at this point?

Again, just under pace

Should hopefully have enough ings Saturday night so I can have rat team out all day Sunday

[old agate]

I hath returned from my party life yesturday

I may have made a mistake for lunch , but I’m still on track

I am going to get an awful sleep score however

[jolly zephyr]

8/16 going to sleep at this point

+34% for lunch, might be more

[stark sequoia]

6/16

At least I have Raichu in permanently

After breakfast

[old agate]

Didn’t update yesturday cuz I was out mostly

Buttttyy

Crit at lunch, and looking good so far go 2 crits Friday

1 mil DP to go

[haughty cobalt]

I'm definitely hitting it

[old agate]

Either need to cook 2-3 regular meals tomorrow or get 1 single crit

M20 OGPP is in the bag!

[mild mantle]

3/3 crits today

[odd lotus]

done 😎

might skip dinner to focus on leveling with sunday crits

[odd lotus]

also my first m20 without leveling any ill-advised temps

[stark sequoia]

6/18

Missed a 59% dinner just now

[odd lotus]

you've got this 2 Sunday crits and it's in the bag, you can probably squeeze it out with 1 even

[jade aurora]

Big Sunday crits

[rigid barn]

Didn't post in the last few days but so far, my meal crits have been 10/18. I'm 700k short of my goal so M20 is unlikely tomorrow. I'll be able to get to M19 though!

I'm putting in my ET team tonight

[jolly zephyr]

[mild mantle]

Wait whut

[haughty cobalt]

M20 before any Sunday meals

[old agate]

https://tenor.com/view/evil-defeated-lost-the-evil-is-defeated-kid-gif-5007371

Also my guy only triggered ONCE overnight, so I’m going to hold out until 11:45am to make breakfast

[haughty cobalt]

First ever waffles

At this point I'm just cooking for fun lol, I already m20ed

[jolly zephyr]

Breakfast crit

Almost there

Might just use lunch to make waffles and level them a bit

[stark sequoia]

And with that breakfast crit we are home free

[jade aurora]

[stark sequoia]

Done

Also got to make the new dish because why not

[rigid barn]

So, I didn't realize my Sunday crits would go to 700k

This means I have a chance to make it to m20 if I crit breakfast and dinner!

[dusky monolith]

YAHOOOO

[old agate]

DID ITTTTT

Pushed to M20 with a single waffle

[rigid barn]

I just crit lunch so if I crit dinner I'll make it to m20

[jolly zephyr]

Honestly insane to M20 a new island so quick

[stark sequoia]

One for the road I guess

[jade aurora]

3/3 SUNDAY
M20

[jolly zephyr]

SO CLOSE

[old agate]

NOOOOO were you not able to make M20?

….wait

[jolly zephyr]

This is my alt

[old agate]

Don't need to whale if you just get lucky berries

[old agate]

M20s for all!

[old agate]

Nice team

[haughty cobalt]

Final strength

[arctic dove]

Is bagon dozing or snoozing

[jolly zephyr]

Dozing

[old agate]

Hey guys, check out my oil mon I caught this week

[rigid barn]

Two more procs

[rigid barn]

I was too tired to post last night but my dinner crit and I made it to m20!

[old agate]

Yayyy Congratz!!

We all got M20

[south bone]

Wait why is m18 included here again

Did m18 do something

Oh ex mode unlock?

[naive raft]

Anyone doing an m20 run this week?

[old agate]

I technically am, but on an island I’ve already M20’d

Just a casual M20 week

[unique jacinth]

I'm going for M20 Lapis for the first time

currently on track but bad tasty luck could ruin me

[naive raft]

ok sweet. I am M20ing Taupe Hollow. At M17 right now. About half way through M17

[naive raft]

Ahh yeah!!!

[unique jacinth]

we ball

[mild mantle]

Spring Festival on Snowdrop begins

[old agate]

AC M20 run has begun

Starting out with a critted breakfast

[odd lotus]

soon you will be free of this island

[mild mantle]

2/3 crit Guacs

[inland thorn]

Shiny dede is too cute!

[half bronze]

3m after Wednesday breakfast. I'm on track for M20 if I keep getting at least one crit a day

Edit: 4/7 crits so far

[mild mantle]

3/3 Guac crits today

[old agate]

So far I’ve gotten (edit whoops meant 3) 3/6 crits! Hoping my luck continues

Will be a tight race for me, just on the cusp of being able to complete M20 AC at 70% AB, but here’s hoping it continues!

[half bronze]

What is this team

I'm also at 70% AB but I'm not running Sudo..

[old agate]

Sudo is my mascot he’s in every M20 run of mine

Unironically he’s my best generalist too, and butterfree is there for vibes

I run an…interesting team

I don’t have any poison or dragon guys

I have a shuckle, but I’m using garde for corn

[half bronze]

Wow you're playing on hard mode

[old agate]

Starting the morning with a tasty crit

[mild mantle]

2/3 crit Guacs again! I will switch to leveling Scald tomorrow.

[half bronze]

Wednesday night 5/9 crits

[mild mantle]

One crit cook goes from level 1 to 23

[mild mantle]

2/3 crit Scalds. No burns, just yum.

[half bronze]

After Friday lunch. 8/14 crits

I think M20 is in the bag

[old agate]

I’m juuuuust making the cut everyday

Crits so far are 6/12

[half bronze]

At this rate you might need 3 big crits on Sunday..

[old agate]

Actually I’m right on track, but just barely

1,218,429 per day is required to reach M20 on AC

Today I needed 4,873,715

This isn’t accounting for the 3x crits on Sunday

[half bronze]

Oh yeah you are. I thought you were too far below me

This is mine. We had similar score on Tuesday but I've had 2 crits per day since then.

[mild mantle]

Thank you Friday lunch. 0/2 crits.

[arctic dove]

congrats!

[inland thorn]

Gz on the m20, odlin!

[half bronze]

I made it after breakfast crit

[mild mantle]

Congrats!!!

[old agate]

Bad news: I failed 2 70% crits in a row

🙂

Good news, I have a 100% chance to crit breakfast

However due to my misses I missed my chance to get another crit today

So based on what I’m seeing on raenonx

If I get 1 crit, it’ll be around 680,000

680,000 + 220,000 + 220,000 =1,120,000

And all the berries I’ll get (if I decide to stay up until 4am with my team…tbd >_>) will equal about 310,000

So with this in mind… 1,120,000 + 310,000 =1,430,000

So I should have just enough to get to M20 with the guarenteed crit tomorrow

Just barely enough

This is also not factoring in any additional power I’ll get overnight tonight

[old agate]

Got more than I thought haha

Looks like I’ll be getting M20 without any more additional crits just need to make the last 2 meals

[old agate]

Whoop and just like that I got a lucky crit!

Hooray

And with my sudo too!

[mild mantle]

Wooooooo!!!

[half bronze]
