Here before some dumbfuck cries about cartoon animals.

I ended up saccing a lot of gather time to get enough ingredients for Sunday. I'm not going to hit any significant tier, but I hope it pays off at least somewhat. I finally have enough ingredients to make 2 of the new salads, but saving enough Mushrooms was a bit tough because somehow Ninja Leek salad tends to be my go-to.

what would be the best eeveelution for this?

>>59237520
None, Eevee is so abundant and common that anything that isn't close to near perfection isn't worth consideration. I'd want at least something better than double inventory or at least a big payoff at 75 with these stats

>>59237651
I have literally seen only a single eevee in a month.

No, I won't come back until they raise the island bonus again. And if they do, it will be the last place I go to. I'm sick of hearing the music after doing Amber Canyon for over half a year.

Well, my overdue shiny showed up... And straight it goes into the box.
Now I realize I didn't get any other Cleffa/Clefairy these Good Sleep nights.

>>59241507
Unfortunately you still need to roll slumbering or snoozing sleep to encounter the Clefairy family (all babies are slumbering).
Although events that give varied sleep style encounters help if they overlap with Good Sleep days, there's also that debut Pokémon events tend to overwhelm encounters with the new Pokémon.

That said the boosted chances of new sleep styles, helped me to get the 4 star sleep for both Sandshrew and Sandslash, so I got all 8 of their combined sleep styles now.
I noticed my Amber Canyon hit 90% sleep styles discovered, I'm surprised I'm that far along with only a 55% area bonus.

>>59241553
It's a bit ironic that sleep styles are sort of a progression point, but if you're advanced enough, then you immediately get all the new styles when a Pokemon is introduced. Except for maybe single-stage Pokemon that just don't show up.

>>59242503
Two stagers tend to be the easiest to fully research, it's the single stagers and the third stage Pokémon that are hander to research since they stuff the high value sleep styles at the highest ranks.
They're also considerably harder to research on Greengrass Expert due to highly inflated ranks, with the trade off being you get waaay more resources for powering up Pokémon, and an optimised encounter pool with fewer undesirable commons.

File: ShrewWeek.jpg (397.2 KB)

Didn't wind up with many shrews. Not that they were top priority over Bagons or Larvitars if they showed. Haven't really seen many Larvitars on Amber though. Just a little regret on passing so many Larvitars early in the game on Taupe, since ingredients weren't as useful back then. And BFS wasn't quite the hot shit it is now that levels have unlocked.

File: berryweek2_spawnboosts.png (38.8 KB)

Sitting on Amber again just to build up area bonus for the next event since Tyrunt and the berry event already starts next week.

Berry week overlaps with New Moon, which could give you a pretty decent payout by encountering Mew/Darkrai in conjunction with the gains from the extra berries. They may not have adjusted the extra berry to affect sneaky snacking though, so +1 berry is really only active for 2/3 of the day. And judging from the previous event, the extra berry really might not provide that much power overall anyways.

A surprising number of islands allow you to field full Berry/Berry Burst teams now. You could also roll 2.4x berries on Expert, but good luck with that.
Cyan (4): Dodrio, Braviary, Feraligatr, Clefable
Taupe (6): Typhlosion, Ninetales, Swampert, Onix, Marowak, Tyrantum*
Snowdrop (6): Walrein, A.Ninetales, Raticate, Vigoroth, Weavile, Darkrai
Lapis (7): Meganium, Sceptile, Musharna, Xatu, Mew, Blaziken, Primape
Old Gold (4): Raichu, Steelix, Banette, Mimikyu
Amber (4): Butterfree, Arbok, Altaria, Salamence

>>59243901
You could always try a few weeks (I usually do event weeks) at GG because they still give Larvitar incense as a M3 reward there.

>>59244460
My Amber Canyon team is primarily skill focused on cooking thanks to Heracross, with Salamence being the only berry farmer pitching in occasional cooking pot power ups.
I do have a good Butterfree, but it is probably in my best interest to go to Taupe Hollow instead where my Entei team can go ham with Typhlosion and Ninetales gathering loads of 4x berry helpings.

i unlocked amber last week and went there so my area bonus will be lmao5%. do i go there again next week or taupe? taupe is at 72%. both teams are shit but if i roll deserts on amber it's not too bad

>>59244896
Next week is berry focused so if you at least have a decent Typhlosion or Ninetales, so there.

I was checking my map PBs earlier, and it turns out my M20 at TH and M14 at AC were both 4.4m, go figure.
Last week's M14 was thanks to the cooking bonuses though, so I don't stand to reach that again anytime soon whilst my TH team will go nuts with berry strength.

On a side note, Mew with Berry Burst would be able to get both berry benefits. I doubt it would really be THAT effective though.

>>59244896
It would be better to be on Taupe in that case. Otherwise, you're going to get stuck with fewer spawns for longer on Amber.

Debatably, maybe the last Latias of that event, but Skill Trigger M is locked behind level 100.
Since Latias needs max skill trigger to perform best, I'll keep looking. I'm planning on using my Latias incense on the new moon event since I'm pretty sure I have enough pips to guarantee a friendship with it.

Before that, a BFS + HB@50 Mudkip, that I've already evolved up to Swampert.
It doesn't have anything else going for it though.

Still looking for Natu and Cutiefly in this category. Didn't see any last week and no Natu the week before that either.

Does anyone have an updated chart of the best gatherers per ingredient? I have been having a terrible week with my level 53 Vikavolt ABA coffee/mushrooms. Missed out on very many pumpkin stew meals and don't really have a decent replacement to powerlevel at the moment.

File: 260209_ingr-lv60.jpg (1.3 MB)

>>59252711
This is only updated until Ribombee, but Latias, Sandslash, and Tyranrum won't be very relevant as far as the raw gathering goes.

I always underestimate how easy it is to spot jumbo size Pumpkaboos.

>>59252860
Thank you, appreciate it a lot.

>>59253680
When you tap on a Pumpkaboo during feeding time, the name shown also identifies what size it is.
Funnily enough, they don't identify shiny Pokémon this way. They should do, because there are some Pokémon that cannot be easily identified, or the signs might be missed by newcomers or sleepyheads.

>>59253908
They should at least sparkle again when you tap to try and feed them. I guess they ASSUME you're just going to feed hungry Pokemon anything just because they're hungry, be we all know that stops being the case as you get progressed.

>hitting dozing all week just to look like this

If you’re full bonus on every island except for one and you go to a different island, does the full 5% get applied to that one island? I’m still only at 25% on amber canyon but I figured I’d be higher by now after I spent a month on other spots.

>>59257835
Yes, assuming your current max bonus is 85%, and all but one island are at 85%, then spending a week at any of those islands will give a full 5% to the last island not at cap.

Your maximum bonus is decided by your sleep dex goal progress (as is your maximum cooking pot size).
If you have multiple islands below the area bonus cap, the 5% bonus will be divided up across the islands. I believe it favours the earlier islands to get higher portions, e.g. if you have four eligible islands, the earliest non-max island gets 2%, or if you have two that earliest island gets 3%.
That is unless those islands are only 1 or 2% away from cap, then the bonus sharing is more intelligent and only allocates as much as is needed.

Expert islands have a separate "expert bonus" that is excluded from overflows. The only the way to raise an expert island's bonus is to complete a week there, and there won't be overflow between future expert islands.

Also, if you're in a situation where the remaining area bonus to be raised between islands is less than 5%, that remainder will be lost when the remaining islands hit 85%.

>>59257923
Yeah I’m at 85%, I probably just overestimated how high amber canyon would be by now, thanks anon

File: AmberCanyon_ingame[2].jpg (489.0 KB)

>>59258039
85% takes 17 weeks minimum to reach, assuming you're not in the new-player period where you get accelerated area bonus gains.

Amber Canyon's been available for 6 months now, so getting AC to 85% has been entirely possible, but plenty of events have encouraged going to previous islands.
Except Snowdrop. Fuck Snowdrop.

Guys, what can I do with those eevees? Is any of them a material for any evolution? mostly asking about the base BFS one

>>59258559
Eevee and all of its evos are skill mons,They want skill triggers most of all, with speed ups being good and everything else being largely irrelevant. There is one eevelution that really likes BFS and thats jolteon, but it still wants speed, and is only useful with raikou.
So these sadly are useless. Also, for asking mon opinions, take your screenshots a little lower so people can see the nature like these >>59255948
>>59250422

>>59258572
base BFS is Lonely, the other one is Brave. Well my entire team is garbo because i'm a newfag so I am wondering if I can invest in one even if it's suboptimal to get some better berries or something

>>59258572
You can run BFS effectively with several Eeveelutions, but they're pretty much all just stop-gaps for types you're missing. Jolteon, Espeon, and Sylveon to some degree are all decent for berries; the latter two being "free" to evolve, just requiring sleep time. As tempting as it is, there is a much better variety for berry Pokemon now. If you can find a good skill-focused roll, the ones that use their skills are still really strong though: Vaporeon, Sylveon, and Espeon.

I’m at 5 weeks of no Sunday crits please pray for me

>>59259497
Gotta get yourself an extra tasty team.
I've had 10 out of 20 cooks go extra tasty this week, Sunday breakfast and lunch crit and I'm just waiting until bedtime to cook dinner.

It's mostly just Heracross being fucking baller, but I have Mew and Dedenne for tasty maxing on Sunday, and Cramorant sometimes pitches in some tasty chances when I run it for oil and potatoes.

So for the event will my Sceptile and Braviary with max level berry burst do better on Amber Canyon than my regular favorite berry mons?

>>59260215
Half of each Berry Burst is the user's own berry, so you're going to lose out on the favorite berry bonus with Sceptile or Braviary. Unless you're just lacking berry Pokemon entirely, then an equally leveled berry Pokemon should beat either of those.

Berry farmers get +1 berry per berry help. Berry Burst users get 1.4x berries on activation. And I didn't notice before, but berry specialists & Berry Burst users get 1.5x inventory as well. Because of that, it seems likely the +1 berry won't be applied to sneaky snacking.

>>59260590
The announcement specifically says +1 berry "as it normally would." Sneaky snacking is not your pokemon finding berries as it normally would, since finding a berry normally requires inventory.

Every time this bonus has been applied in the past, the wording has stayed consistent, and the calcs show no increase to berry strength through sneaky snacking while the buff is active for the event.

Tyrunt and tyrantrum details are out

As I expected, onix still outclassed tyrantrum, but only slightly and only with the 2k hour sleep ribbon. So tyrantrum is definitely one to hunt for rock berry coverage

File: tyrantum_comps.jpg (283.5 KB)

Simple comparisons. I mistook Cooking Power Up with Tasty Chance when initially trying to judge it, but Tyrantum is still capable of heavy berry duty. It mainly misses out by having a lower base power ingredient of Sausages vs anything higher, but it can get Apples, which aren't very common for Taupe.

>>59260841
Amusingly, it seems to have the same speed as other newly-introduced berry farmers.

>>59260841
>>59261392
Thank fuck it's a simple no-frills berry specialist, an accessible rock type berry farmer was desperately needed.

>>59260841
>onix still outclassed tyrantrum
Kanto privilege needs to be stopped.

>>59260841
>>59261511
I guess its not a surprise, Onix will continue to to be a nightmare to find at all, let alone a GOOD one, and you're reasonably likely to want to turn it into a steelix. Tyrantum seems so much easier to find, farm, and justify to use as a rock mon.

>>59261511
It's one of those Eviolite scenarios like Chansey and Vigoroth, but it requires literal thousands of hours of sleep for a small advantage.

This also makes it easier for Onix to evolve into the Steel type berry farmer it deserves to be, which is still truly exclusive..

>>59265971
The Caterpie is at least something.
It's just, kind of the least exciting BFS roll without being a hindered one.

>>59258574
If you're new you can use that bfs one as a filler provided you don't spend any resources. Don't fret, I have caught 40 Eevees and only two have been good, with one being exceptional. At the end of the day it's about how much you want to wait for min maxing and unfortunately the eeveelutions are not the best at their roles and some like Jolteon, require specific set ups to work. All Eevees require main skill seeds and you're better off spending them elsewhere early on in the game.

>>59266258
well, what eeveelution would work best on that base BFS one?

File: Screenshot_20260512-163210_Pokmon Sleep.jpg (467.1 KB)

Actually not bad, considering how shinies typically are

>>59266273
Personally I would leave it as is. Use it to fill a gap in Tundra. Someday you might get a good Raikou and this guy will be able to work with him pretty well, not top tier but above average. Other than that the other option would be Umbreon, since the Umbreon skill is pretty crap to begin with and dark berries are one of the stronger in the game. Either way, no need to rush into a decision.

Bets on what kind of specialist it is? Definitely not berry, but it could be a slower ingredient or skill Pokemon. Not sure what kind of skill it would have though. I feel like it could work as a healer, but I'd think they would space them out a bit more, as we just got Shuckle and Latias.

>>59271526
Realistically? Yes.
You could continue holding out until the week ends, but I think you'd be hard pressed despite the nature being a miss.

I assume skills are more important than nature

File: xe1n229s7hvc1[1].jpg (211.3 KB)

>>59271526
It's nature and last two subskills are arguably detrimental, but it does the most crucial part of gathering lots of berries very fast.
It only really prove detrimental during events that increase berry gathering, since that bonus does not apply to sneaky snkacky.
Otherwise, there's a niche where berry specialists can be left in sneaky snacking and they can maintain a stockpile of ingredients to carry into Sunday.
You may not want to do that if their main skill is useful, which Cooking Power-Up S can be.

>>59271670
Natures are not less important than subskills, but subskills feature effects absent from natures, whilst natures exclusively can accelerate or slow EXP gains.
For ingredient and skill specialists, there's a three out of three scenario they want to achieve: Subskill M + Subskill S + Helpful Nature.
Natures have a very strong effect on skill triggers and ingredient gathering, stronger than helping speed or EXP gain effects. Energy Recovery natures are pretty insignificant and at best/worst influence a half-hour's worth of energy gains from Energy for Everyone S level 6. Energy recovery reducing natures only have an impact if you cannot hit 100 sleep score each night, and do not run an E4E healer.

As for main skills, depends on the Pokémon.
Berry or ingredient specialists with something like Charge Strength S or M largely don't care.
Charge Energy S on the other hand is great for them, but it's terrible on a skill specialist (Umbreon deserved better).

>>59272016
>>59272030
It's not required, but Noivern performs best with BFS because it's fast and has good berries. It benefits more from favorite berry rolls on Amber and Greengrass, but a full skill build might be able to catch up during weeks with skill boosts.

The thing about your Noibat is that even without the nature or BFS, it doesn't quite reach the critical mass that I'd be willing to invest seeds into it. Double skill trigger is good, but in order to consider it without a nature, I'd want access to HSM over HB. IMO Skill Pokemon that want their activations are better off having selfish skillsets than running Helping Bonus.

I've been getting a lot of random crits this week, so I've been able to catch almost 2 Pokemon per day. 4 Tyrunts so far, but haven't seen any Bagons yet.

Tyrantum has the unusual recruitment requirement of 20 pips, but the normal evolution requirements aren't very difficult. Usually it gets boosted because of sleep time or an item requirement, but Tyrunt's only unusual restriction is time of day (12 hours).

>>59277033
It has the same befriending and evolution requirements as Lucario, with the exception of needing 150 hours of sleep (as all babies do), so there's the basis.

>>59279554
My volume is always at 1, so I rarely ever hear the music.

>>59279554
New Moon event has new night time music.
It used to be the Canalave City theme because of the Cresselia-Darkrai connection, but when Mew was introduced they changed it to the mystery gift menu theme.

Speaking of which my community research notes today has been plenty of Mew but zero Darkrai.
Both are supposed to be available for this month's New Moon, but I'm curious if that's actually the case after last month exiling Darkrai to Snowdrop Tundra.

File: Screenshot_20260517-105558.png (294.3 KB)

>>59280685
I can't tell if they messed it up or something. This post says they put Darkrai and Mew back to all areas.

Also the second part about spawn bonuses is a little confusing. Does each Pokemon actually have its own "guaranteed" appearance countdown for New Moon or was it some kind of weird translation error?

>>59281484
In my current research, I'm counting 9 Mew snapshots but only 1 Darkrai snapshot from Taupe Hollow.
So it's not banished to Snowdrop Tundra still, but seems to be heavily biased towards Mew since they're mutually exclusive special appearances.

From my snapshots, nearly everyone went to Greengrass, Taupe Hollow, or Amber Canyon this week. One player went to Cyan Beach for some reason.

>>59281879
people who encounter darkrai are probably sending out other candy, like tyrunt, because darkrai is shit and no amount of availability buffs will make up for its trash skill and only being useful at snowdrop.

At least you got one with BFS, no such luck with the 8 I befriended.

My Mew encounter today went from 0 to 30 pips at least, but the Eureka Seed gave it Sleep EXP Bonus at 50.
That's, not as bad as Energy Recovery Bonus, but now I have to decide if I reroll 25 or unlock 75/100 and risk a useful subskill getting blocked off.

File: Pokémon Sleep Latias Event 1920x1080.png (2.4 MB)

Reminder that during next week's dragon event, that you'll be getting a free Latias incense.
Since you can't hold more than 1 legendary incense at a time, you'll need to use your remaining Latias incense if you managed to save one from the recent event.

I'm using mine tonight for the new moon event, as I'll have a better chance of befriending one with the "less likely to get full" bonus.
I'm pretty sure my last Latias got full at 20/30 pips, so I should likely be able to befriend it with a premium bonus biscuit and two great biscuits.

I was at Taupe Hollow last week, so I wasn't able to use my Latias incense there. Went back to Amber Canyon this week.

File: IMG_0158.png (17.8 KB)

>>59287189
Thanks anon

>>59287189
The latias incense should be sent to our gift box and should have a decently long expiration time. I'm gonna wait and use my currently saved latias incense during the event for more downs, then redeem the free one sitting in my gift box

>>59287189
>>59287788
You could also just use it during the Latios event, for an extra bit of Latios Down. Unless they're specific for an ongoing event (like an event biscuit), gifts that are delivered to your mail typically get a 3 month timer.

Rough day. almost no triggers for healer or dede, including no wake up triggers. tomorrow is a new day tho

Finally got my first silver badge.
Still no shiny ralts yet.
Guess I'm just gonna keep at it until gold and beyond.

>>59289350
I'd recommend turning off the guaranteed gold skills, since shiny or not, a worthwhile Gardevoir (for Sleep meta) needs skill trigger boosts above all else.

>>59289382
I think I'd be happy if it had Helping Bonus, because with my luck I'm basically guaranteed that whatever I get will be borderline useless anyway.

How important is it to get ingredient pokemon to 60?

>>59289973
Extremely important. 60 is a huge breakpoint for ingredient pokemon, but especially any of your ABB ingredient pokemon. Having 66% chance to drop a particular ingredient is a lot more consistent than a 50% chance. Plus the higher quantity drops allow for much more consistent strong recipe cooking. With dishes getting larger and larger, the more ingredient pokemon you have that have unlocked their full ingredient gathering potential, the easier it'll be to cook the brand new stronger dishes

>>59289973
I don't find it to be the biggest thing to rush towards, but it does increase that Pokemon's overall gathering power. Instead of a 50% chance at getting the lowest quantity whenever it actually picks up ingredients, that percentage dips down to 33%. And it's actually better for Berry Pokemon too. Aside from the increase in berry power. By filling up on ingredients faster, they go into sneaky snacking mode faster, which is generally stronger than using helps to pick up 1-3 ingredients.

>>59290577
It's a selective advantage for berry specialists.
If their main skill actually matters, sneaky snacking can be disadvantageous.
If not, there's a use case where they can hoard ingredients until Sunday, by collecting only their berries whilst your ingredient bag is full.

Also for mono-ingredient specialists hitting level 60, which typically have quantities 2/5/7, the average ingredient quantity increases from 3.5 to 4.667.
I have mono ingredient specialists I'm keen to get to 60, like Blastoise (milk), Blissey (eggs), Aggron (sausages), and Dragonite (herbs), but it'll take time.

PROC YOU SLUT

File: Screenshot_20260520-112108.png (297.4 KB)

Update is slated for later today, so you might need to feed sooner than later.

Also looks like at the very least, Snowdrop spawns will finally be readjusted (in a future update).

>>59292537
Snowdrop had so little going for it, that it needed balancing.
All of the desirable spawns were too weighted towards the later and earlier maps, somehow.

As a theoretical balancing mechanic, what if your befriending badges could play a factor in the encounter rate for a given Pokémon?
Like, once you hit Bronze or Silver for that Pokémon, separate to the gold subskill bonus you could opt for a focused or reduced encounter rate?
The idea being you can aim to narrow the pool to pursue actually interesting Pokémon.

>>59292783
Snowdrop was always weird because it was the final island included in the base game, meaning it didn't get its own introduction event and lacked any Pokemon to chase there. It had Abomasnow and Slaking, but they suck and have basically always sucked. The skill update even pushed Slaking out of its skill niche to just be a worse and slower Ingredient Magnet option.

There have been a several Pokemon introduced since then that match the types, but you can also just find those on later islands that aren't inundated with "filler" Pokemon like Slowpoke, Belsprout, Geodude, and Cubone. Even Cetitan ended up overlapping Meowscarda for no reason, both picking up Potatoes and being favored types on the same island. I fear even with a spawn pool rework, the Pokemon that are actually exclusive there still won't be with going out of your way for.

Hope everyone managed to get meals done before maintenance!

>>59294377
Maintenance time in the UK is always like 5am onwards, it delays me making breakfast but doesn't prevent it.

Here's how my shiny skill-max Wiggly stacks after the 3.5.0 update
>RP 5194 -> 5528 (+334)
>Frequency 42m8s -> 39m58 (-130s)
In my top 16, she rose from 14th to 11th place, overtaking my shiny Shuckle (RP 5269), but not my Gardevor (RP 5816) or Pawmot (RP 6745), which both have BFS.

Wiggly's base ingredient rate has reportedly increased from 17.4% to 19.1%, which might have a small impact on its overnight performance, but the helping speed boost helps it a lot.

>>59297009
Does this mean drampa is guaranteed to be a ingredient pokemon?

>>59297108
Hardly guaranteed, but it seems likely given our current set of Dragons. 100% won't be a berry type, but there's still space for more skill and ingredient specialists. We just got Noivern, and Dragonite has been the only ingredient specialist for quite some time. I'm just wondering what Drampa's skill will be, regardless of its specialization.

Eh, could've been a lot worse.

After like a year of hunting for a dedenne i think I'm going to settle for my cramorant. He triggers 4 times a day already so why not just power up his skill?

>>59299394
If it's actually that reliable I'd consider it, you can still run it in conjunction with a dedicated tasty chance specialist if you get one eventually.
It's good for Sunday and trying to maximise tasty chances, works well when you've managed to ready a full ingredient stock for top Sunday dishes.

Heracross with Bulk Up has made a huge change to my Amber Canyon weeks, a lot of my weekly strength there comes from extra tasty cooking now.

>>59299415
I actually stopped using my Dragonite and started using my Heracross on AC because he is absolutely Goated. So many Procs to help crits and give me more ingredients for filler/more complex dishes.

File: singles_ranking.png (195.6 KB)

Single-stage ingredient Pokemon may be a little unexciting, but they're typically pretty strong for what they pick up.

Plusle is actually a secret Coffee fiend, but it requires Plus/Minus to be active. Minun does work well with it, though, allowing you to use extra pot space. And both work well with BFS.
Togedemaru's skill I doubt will trigger on anything very often. 7 helps to fish for skill activations isn't very much for non-skill types; even for skill types there's a good chance you'll go without.
Murkrow/Honchkrow doesn't quite put out an ingredient quantity to be anything but niche. A perfect one can average 120 total (about as much as a good ingredient Pokemon), but that's reliant on chance and split between 4 different ingredients.
Ditto's skill can be strong, but its gathering capabilities are lacking. And it doesn't activate enough to invest skill seeds into it in the first place.
Comfey is pretty middling in its ingredient gathering power and isn't quite fast enough to break away with BFS.
Sableye has been a disaster from the outset. In fact, it even loses to Swalot in activations and just plain gathering speed. It'll need a speed boost, inventory increase, and a new skill. If we're being lazy, just a variable Dream Shard that can crit would be enough.

If Drampa ends up being an ingredient Pokemon, it could be a slow fuck that starts with Avocados or Pumpkins.

Since when? I've been able to hold onto my legendary dog pokemon until now with no issue.
I thought they were just limited to only one of each specific legendary incense.

>>59301692
Yeah, more than one of each kind of legendary incense.
So, you can't receive a second Latias incense if you're already holding one. It has to be consumed after sleep research too, wouldn't count to set up the incense and then try to claim the gift.

>>59301732
Ah got it. I got confused over which pokemon is turning up in the event.

>>59301921
Both Latios and Latias will actually show up during Latios' event, it's just that most people were already holding into a Latias incense from the previous event. Most people tend tof or the legendary events, just so you can encounter it again at a future date for some boosted rewards; usually during Dream Shard events.

Works out to just long enough to save and use an existing latias incense during week 1 of Latios event but not during week 2

Drampa details are out, basedbean ingredient farmer, with avocado and sausage in the 2nd and 3rd slots.

Potentially an alternative to trapinch?

File: Screenshot 2026-05-25 at 03-19-26 Production Comparison RaenonX Pokémon Sleep Wiki.png (185.7 KB)

>>59305102
It's way behind Flygon as an avocado farmer, since ingredient counts are scaled on the strength of the first ingredient.
Drampa only gathers 3 and 4 avocados on B and C.

As a bean farmer, it's fourth place behind Tyranitar, Golem, and Quaquaval.
The only niche going for it is it has Tasty Chance S with Dragon berries, otherwise it's a 16-pip single stager that's going to be a far less accessible bean farmer.

Also sausages on C is insulting, what the fuck were they thinking with Drampa?

With dragon week on, and latias/latios encouraging dragon builds especially with BFS, does a good latias/ noivern and I guess Latios too need BFS in addition to speed/triggers, or is a skill focused build still strong enough without it to be worth considering?

>>59305250
Wow, thats unimpressive to be sure

File: drampa_comps.jpg (994.5 KB)

Another comparison set.

Drampa's ingredient rate is really high, but that also means it doesn't benefit a whole lot with BFS. Its skill being Tasty Chance does play a role in its overall power, and if you want beans or avocados. It's still plenty good at that. Sausages are a huge waste though.

File: Screenshot_20260524-215728.png (320.6 KB)

This is new (I think).
Certainly makes it easier to see how progressed you are for each area, though it doesn't show the Area/Expert bonus, which I tend to look at a lot more now then style collection.

You should just use it during the Latios event so that you can get some extra event materials by using it. Latias biscuits will also be available then, so you'll have a better chance of actually catching it too.

Decided to go to expert GG this week, so I can get some more Dratini encounters. I've not had any in ages, and my max-herb Dragonite is nearly at 60.
I candy boosted my BFS Salamence to 60 this morning too.

Rolled Grass / Normal / Ghost with berries effect and desserts, this is gonna be a nice easy expert GG week, though cooking will be a slight pain.
Since I didn't roll berries for E4E healers, I need to check if my HB skill max Wigglytuff is now a better pick than my other healers in this situation, they all lack HB.

Also
>Use 7 incenses
>8000 dream shards reward
Why

>>59305760
See I think people might actually use that sleep diary, if the option were prominent during your sleep reviews.
But as it currently is, you have to dig into the sleep data for each day so you can fill in a 200 character text box (when it might be too late to jot down a dream), seems pointless and little more than a bullet point on their premium plan sales pitch.

>>59305835
Best general use case for any legendary incense is to save it for big events, and use it at the end of the week when you've got higher DP (or DP multipliers) so you can find the rarer, much more valuable sleep styles.

I actually used my Latias incense the other week, because I remembered it was at 20/30 pips and could guarantee its friendship on a New Moon. I got the Latias but it wasn't worth running. Maybe I'll find a better one during the Latios event.

>>59305977
Quick check on Raenonx team builder, and it definitely looks like I should run Wiggly.
I was curious since it was just buffed, and my Wiggly now outperforms Gardevoir in this scenario; higher daily skill count and HB boosts the rest of the team nicely.

File: Screenshot_20260525-124421.png (285.2 KB)

Can't decide if I should cut my losses and take this Bagon or hope for something even better. Admittedly level 75+ isn't something to realistically worry about, but it does just make it worse as it unlocks skills toward 100. I suppose it'll be better to have a higher level Salamence for the event than a lower one that's slightly better at a stage that won't even be available for quite some time.

>>59306937
The ingredient finder "penalty" really isn't as severe as not having BFS and/or helping speed bonuses.
That thing has near-max helping speed, I'd be happy with it.

The strong dragon type berry farmer you can run for the next few years, is more important than the small penalty it gets down the line, because you'll have better Drowsy Power gains and rewards more often.

So, you just drop your research code here or is there a pastebin file or something?

>>59307098
Just drop it in the thread, there's no maintained list or anything.

ok, so my ID is 9832-4211-4585

It’s always right to sleep with an e4e user right, even though they won’t give as many points as an actual team member, the morning double proc is worth it?

File: IMG_0771.png (407.0 KB)

I’ve got this support chu I like to have overnight but it’s between him and gardevoir, even though it’s expert mode with electric favored berries.

>>59307992
Yeah, it's usually best to sleep with an e4e Pokemon, because waking up with extra energy pays off a LOT. Extending the time you can stay at max helping speed (80 energy+) has a sort of cascading effect, allowing the excess energy buffer to hold you over until the next activation. Dipping below the 80 energy threshold tends to diminish your chances of staying topped off for the rest of the day.
I honestly leave mine in 24/7, but you could probably swap it out so long as the rest of your team will comfortably stay over 80 energy for a long time. Just keep in mind you'll need time to swap your battery back in and for it to fish out another activation, which could be anywhere from 1-4 hours depending on your luck.

>>59307023
Getting so much Ingredient Finder is actually pretty damn harsh for Salamence... going up to 40% ingredient finding cuts a lot of berries out of its pickups. Depending on the species, it can get pretty bad, but for others it's not as big a deal. But ultimately with 75 still over the horizon, the Bagon is more than safe enough for the time being.

>>59308510
The point is that you still have something that performs far above the baseline BFS find, because of the high helping speed gains.
It'll be hard to find something better, and you can absolutely run it now to make progress sooner.

I already had this happen with a BFS Meganium, that was superceded by a BFS+HB+Double HS Meganium. The first one is occasional still run when I need grass types, but it's all about the unlikely better find now.

That's mean.
One had double skill trigger with Skill Level Up M, but I don't want to go for it without BFS or a better nature.

They announced a few things a couple weeks ago, including that limit unlocks are coming in the summer update.

https://www.pokemonsleep.net/en/news/333939323537303939303637393831383238/

>• From the version 3.5.0 update onwards, the chances of Legendary Pokémon becoming full will be slightly decreased.
>• For the summer update, we are considering adjusting the types of Pokémon you can encounter in each area.
>• We are considering new features that allow Pokémon to gain EXP.
>• With the summer update, the amount of EXP that Pokémon up to Lv. 30 can gain from Pokémon Candies will increase slightly.
>Difficulty of Leveling Up the Main Skill of Multiple Pokémon at Once
>We are also considering other new events and features to implement in the future.
>• Addition of Relaxing Music, introduction of Sleep Tips Relating to Naps, etc.
• Implementation of various limit unlocks in the summer update

The increase to research rank level 65 was April 2025, so many players have been sat at that cap for a whole year now.
I'm hoping they give us level 75 and not just level 70, since the level 65 update was from level 60, which only gives more berry strength and a little helping speed.

That the summer update will apparently feature new means of Pokémon gaining EXP (effectively a third EXP source besides sleep and candy), and that events may feature a means of increasing a Pokémon's main skill level besides skill seeds or evolution, is pretty interesting indeed.
For the variety of islands we can access now, we lack means to be able to level multiple Pokémon more effectively. For example, my Taupe Hollow team continues to be stuck in the low 50s, whilst my OGPP team are all level 65. That's outside of the issue that we can only perform research at one island at a time, we can't have an auto-team running at other islands with passive gains.
Imagine if you could designate a team to every island, and they generate a modicum of sleep EXP and dream shards.

>>59309724
>Imagine if you could designate a team to every island, and they generate a modicum of sleep EXP and dream shards.

This is what I had in mind for passive islands
>Teams gain a fraction of your sleep EXP based on your sleep score
>No sleep research occurs, but you still gain some amount of dream shards based on your team's strength (RP) and your drowsy power
>Pokémon can only be deployed to one island at a time
>If the Pokémon gathers Snorlax's favorite berries, it will have higher sleep EXP gains
>Passive teams may generate some extra candies, but won't produce candies for the Pokémon you can encounter in that area (as you aren't researching them)

Not sure how anything outside of berry strength would factor, since you won't be cooking meals for other islands, gaining ingredients from passive teams, or getting skill procs either.
Calculating purely on team RP would create a scenario where needlessly increasing a Pokémon's RP through skill seeds for main skill levels or filler subskills, increases the passive gains instead of the actually significant stats like maximising Charge Strength S procs or maximising energy.

As for the fraction, consider that the baseline max EXP you can earn a day is 500, 100 for 5 Pokémon.
Even a one-quarter EXP yield across 6 passive islands would give 125 per island (25 per mon), or 750 across all islands excluding your current one.

Passive teams might not come freely. Maybe you need to spend sleep points for "Remote Deployment" tickets, so you can set passive teams for one week periods.
In that scenario you have to think carefully about deployment, and assume your Pokémon become inaccessible for the duration of the week (like you can't swap in an ingredient farmer in a pinch).
Or maybe it's a unlock based on sleep dex goals, with a dream shard upgrade cost to do more passive islands simultaneously.

File: Screenshot_20260526-192501.png (262.2 KB)

From around level 14 to 36 after this week of candyboosts... I'll take it. The Dragon Handy Candies from Drampa's event are probably going into Bagon too.

>>59310478
Part of that is EXP yields per-candy are greater for Pokémon under level 30, and those yields are going to increase in a future update.

I have a level 58 Dragonite that I should be able to get to 60 this week, so it can unlock full mono-herbs. It'll be a long time before it hits 75 to unlock Ingredient Finder M, but it already has IFS + Nature and does amazing with that.

For the upcoming Latios event, the only practical dragon type I can run is my BFS Salamence, which just hit 60 as well.
Even with the free main skill levels, there isn't much point running low level Noivern when the berry strength flags behind whatever GG secondary berry rolls I'll get.

I thought about using my Bagon incenses, but then I remembered that they'll be much more valuable in a couple weeks. The Drampa incense too.

>>59309724
>>59309774
I assume we might get something more practical, like Pokemon that run in your team get EXP from actually gathering, not just sleeping overnight. Or like, meals also give some EXP upon feeding.
They should also increase the weekly mission rewards for higher research levels. The loose dream shards do scale slightly with research level, but so do the requirements. Right now you go through the (admittedly easy) hoops and barely get 100 EXP worth of candy and the shards to use them. I guess you do get some more random candy missions on Expert, but still that's barely a drop in the bucket.
Mind you, a lot of changes/additions have been to help new players have a chance at catching up to long time players. And simultaneously, you don't really want to make leveling up THAT much easier, as it's always been the game's long term progression mechanic.

>>59311255
Passive EXP gain for just being active is a good idea. Sleep being a core source of EXP is an issue, because a lot of ingredient specialists are swapped in but not left on the sleep team.

Long term progression sure, but with 7 islands currently available (not including expert GG), the ability to meaningfully progress your team for the other islands comes to a standstill whilst you have extended stays at other islands.
The game is also frequently throwing me back to Greengrass for events, or the same few specific islands where the more meaningful gains or encounters are.
Some amount of passive progression for the islands you can't visit, even if very minor, addresses that issue.

>>59311560
I think they just need to boost the candy active pokemon get. I had my cramorant out all week and got like 20 candy for it which is almost useless. It should scale with the Pokemons level some at least.

>>59312141
It may interest you to know that the team leader Pokémon reportedly generates twice as candy as the other individual team members.

>>59312261
Yeah he was the leader for the majority of the week.

I can't remember if the Latias event had the Incense quest for both weeks or not, so I'm stockpiling incenses and ignoring the incense quest for this week

>>59315183
It starts week one but will count for week two

>>59236594
I'm surprised this game has lasted so long.

>>59317062
It's pretty big in Japan, and has a decently strong following internationally.
It cements itself into your daily routine pretty well and seems to have a pretty good retention rate.

Discussion can only go so far once everyone understands how to play the game, like you discuss the news if any and show off good or frustrating catches occasionally.

Only 1 Drampa sighting so far on Amber...

>>59317062
Upkeep on this game must also be incredibly low. Introductions of new Pokemon aren't all that fancy since they're just introduced into the regular pool of Pokemon. Assets aren't that complex and the built-in rate of progression means you don't really "finish" the current content and then wait for the next installment, like other mobile games.
Its monetization model means it doesn't top any charts, but it probably has a sizeable number of people that pay for the Premium Pass, keeping it on a stable revenue trajectory.

Finally, my mono herb Dragonite hit 60.
Jumped from 4169 RP to 5242, big gains.
All the Dratini spawns and dragon candy along with candy boost made this possible.

>>59319027
I think I've had 4 or 5 natural Drampa spawns on Expert GG this week. It's definitely not massive encounters like previous launches like Cutiefly or Sandshrew, but feels in-line with the Spiritomb debut week.

As for Sleep's success, I think it probably fits into TCPi's strategy of broadening the Pokémon IP well.
If a Pokémon fan's day starts and ends with them interacting with a Pokémon app, they get even more attached.
It's why these companies try making products and services for very small children to get them invested in the franchise at a very young age, like with that Pokémon teeth brushing app, or various children's books.

I had a crippled stockpile of balls early in the week, so I've been trying to not use too many this week. Haven't found anything good yet either desu.

>>59317062
its a slow and awesome game.
game helped me appreciate pokemon that I would have overlooked.

File: Screenshot_20260530-100922.png (279.5 KB)

Haha. Very funny.

>>59320486
Luckily the restock is just days away.
Make sure to grab anything you need like skill seeds, biscuits, maybe expert tickets.

The Latios Soul Dew event being early June is ideal timing too, it's less pressure on monthly supplies.

>>59321100
I'm thinking I might want to get an extra Master Ball to help try for a decent Latios. Its skill makes it stand to be necessary for a strong Dragon team, but I'm still missing a decent Latias, do we'll see how necessary they are as a pair.

Bfs helping speed dragonite with shiny buff good enough??

>>59317971
Is Green in this game and if we catch a shiny latias can we transfer it to home like with champions and go?

File: Screenshot_20260530-204345.png (287.1 KB)

>>59322251
It is, but I'd still like another skill or otherwise helpful nature. Dragonite's default ingredient rate is decent enough without bonuses, but you're still spending thousands of candies to get it to a good position.

File: Sleep_Professor_Neroli[1].png (918.8 KB)

>>59322129
Berry burst is already a strong effect, but having a full dragon team AND Latias boosting the berries gathered even further, stands to make it an extremely strong team.
It'll depend what the actual numbers are since the devs always try to balance things around a baseline; berries are strong? Slower helping speed. Very fast ingredient specialist? Ingredient gathering is reduced. Very strong main skill effect? Skill chance is reduced.

Since Latias functions as a healer very well, where it's been observed to always heal the two least energetic Pokémon (on top of getting extra helpings, even more if Latios is present), this makes it easier to run a full dragon team that includes Salamence, Dragonite, and Noivern, or an extra like Drampa or Altaria.
Where Latios' added benefits only increase with more dragons, Latias' added benefits increase when the healed Pokémon have BFS and therefore have greater yields per helping. Same deal as the previous Helper Boost legendaries.

>>59322312
There are no human characters in the game except for Professor Neroli, who only appears in brief occasional video calls.
Humorously, he's designed to resemble Snorlax a little, whereas Snorlax's appearance and eating habits were based on a real person working at Game Freak.

>>59322251
Definitely viable, will go fast and gather a pretty decent amount of ingredients.

File: Screenshot_20260531_092515_Pokmon Sleep.jpg (756.2 KB)

No speed modifier, but I think I should be worth investing, right?

>>59323060
Definitely

File: crusty.png (211.9 KB)

>>59323060
You'll probably not roll a better one within this lifetime, so if you like him go for it. But since his spawns will be boosted again soon, it might be worth waiting until the end of the Latios event before you start investing, just in case.

Just keep in mind that even a Crustle with no skill boosts and his skill at lvl 2 gets more avocados than Drampa.

I’m at something like 8 or 9 weeks of no Sunday crits, can someone end my suffering

>>59323060
1hr help speed sucks, but Drampa is just slow no matter what. What's important is the double Ingredient Finder. And even if it won't activate very often, the skill bonuses don't hurt either since Tasty Chance is just that good.

>>59323598
Drampa's only real point of interest is that it works really well with Latias and other Extra Helpful activations.

File: IMG_0783.jpg (218.9 KB)

>>59323930
Why are dragons so slow, look how fucking slow this fucker is

>>59323963
It's a counter-balance to their strong berries.
Gengar is fast as fuck so its ingredient finding rate is reduced to compensate. Flip side is that it makes it a really good BFS user.

These kinds of balances are all over the place, and most of the OP stuff comes from main skill levels.
They gotta monetize the game somehow, main skill seeds aren't cheap or available often.

File: Screenshot_20260531-180815.png (270.1 KB)

>>59323963
Just get more speed. EZ

im going to use 10 whistles to get to m11 and try to get latias 3*

please pray for me /zzz/

>>59325138
Huh? Why bother trying to get a Latias right now when you can just get a bunch more event materials by using it during the Latios event? The main point of getting 3* legendary styles are for the event payoff, because you can get research EXP and dream shards any time.

>>59325221
i dont like the free latias incense notif

File: drampa_skillmixes.png (244.2 KB)

Made this to try and see the different effects when applied to Drampa and what sort of ingredient set I would even want for one. Turns out it can trigger its skill decently well if it leans that way. And IFS = HSM, if only for ingredient totals. Its role and function compares pretty similarly to Cramorant, which itself is decent, though not particularly strong in any category.

Taking any Avocados REALLY cuts into the total quantities, but there are also already several other good and easier options for beans... Getting x5 Avocados on its level 60 slot or honestly starting with any higher value ingredient would have helped a lot.

File: Screenshot_20260601-090530.png (297.4 KB)

I did manage to get a Drampa after all (and all its sleep styles).

>>59326625
Unlike Sandshrew week I only saw three all week and only managed to catch once. Was not willing to invest anything other than the free biscuits specially with latios coming next week.

File: Screenshot_20260601_190656_Pokmon Sleep.png (194.2 KB)

Guess I'll take it.

>>59327697
Skill types that also want BFS are real finnicky. Like those are all great skills individually, but I also feel that set isn't particularly good for Noivern, or a Berry Burst Pokemon if it were one. Still leagues above most other rolls though.

File: IMG_8822.png (376.1 KB)

Would it make a good Umbreon

File: Screenshot 2026-06-02 at 16-02-53 Team _ Team Analysis RaenonX Pokémon Sleep Wiki.png (981.3 KB)

>>59328872
It would make a good anything really, if you want to fill in a type that helps with team composition. That particularly applies to Espeon, Jolteon, Flareon, and Vaporeon, since they can factor into Cresselia, Raikou, Entei, and Suicune teams.

Umbreon is one of the worst skill specialists in the game, since they initially gave it Charge Energy S, a main skill exclusively useful for berry or ingredient specialists.
They updated it to sometimes throw in an extra energizing cheer, but it activates half of the time and only replenishes half the energy of its main effect.
A baseline level 60 Umbreon gets at least 5 skill procs a day, but uses them to replenish its own energy. It keeps itself charged well, but doesn't help the rest of the team much at all.

As part of a theoretical all-dark type Darkrai team, it's always the weak link. and is easily replaced by a strong E4E healer that has to contend with its energy being sapped by Darkrai's main skill.
Unlike the other special Pokémon, adding Pokémon with matching types only negates a penalty, as opposed to improving the effectiveness of the special Pokémon's main skill.

>>59328872
Jolteon

File: IMG_0785.png (400.6 KB)

Jumbo boy any good?

File: eeveelutions.jpg (1.1 MB)

>>59328872
>>59329362
This chart shows a near absolute limit to each Eeveelution: favored berry, max skill level, 2k ribbon.
All Eeveelutions get generally the same amount of power from ingredients and berries. The main difference between them is the effectiveness of their main skill, and in that regard, it just goes to show how underpowered certain skills are.

>Cooking Power Up S
Has a niche, but ironically gets weaker later in the game, as you can eventually make most recipes without needing skills to increase pot size. And filler ingredients lack recipe bonuses, which is a big source of power scaling.

>Energizing Cheer
Weaker than Energy for Everyone, but still manages to be somewhat comparable. The main issues being its randomness and there being no compensation for energy overflow, which leads into issues of the next skill.

>Charge Energy S
Given the incredibly high amount of energy it can recover to itself on each activation, repeated triggers and main skill levels become irrelevant especially for a skill specialist. It's actually decent if you aren't running an E4E battery, but Charge Energy Users ARE gimped if everyone else is running at full energy.

>>59329907
Good skills, but unfortunately I don't think you want that ingredient set...

>>59329998
I don’t want good ingredients with him tho I want the mega proc where I log on and get 30 potatoes

>>59329998
Jolteon's potential was higher than expected, since I've always somewhat disregarded Extra Helpful S since it has the risk of targeting a lower-yield helper (like any non-BFS skill specialist).

It looks like that chart was prepared with Raenonx's production comparison (as opposed to team analysis). Main skills that work based on team composition have to evaluate the rest of the team, so Jolteon's potential fluctutates with the rest of the team, but if it's the only Pokémon on the team then it can reliably proc itself.

File: extrahelpfuls.png (1.0 MB)

>>59330494
Extra Helpful is technically strong and scales well with team member's levels too. It's just that putting main skill seeds into it doesn't do as much per level since it's just +1 help each time. Leveling up the skill to max does lead to a 50% increase, but it's harder to judge just because there are so many other factors. Aside from that, most Pokemon with Extra Helpful perform more consistently by just focusing on speed and BFS since they're also quite fast already.

>>59330901
With Growlithe, it's not a difficult choice since that's the only prospect for it.
For Eevee and (male) Ralts on the other hand, there's a strong chance you're going to prefer a Vaporeon, Sylveon, Espeon, or Gardevoir, over Jolteon or Gallade.

File: Screenshot_20260603-093049.png (279.9 KB)

Soooo close, even if EXP down would have been extremely painful.

>>59331949
AAB farmers can be very good still, but it's a question of needing a farmer that delivers large quantities of two specific ingredients.

Ginger + Beans is good for Ninja Salads, but that's a mid-tier recipe now.
Top curries need a lot more beans than they do ginger, and strong desserts use ginger but beans become irrelevant.

So that puts AAB Ttar in an awkward spot for meal prep right now, but future recipes might change that.
Honey recently became massively important to desserts weeks and important for curry weeks. Strangely, there's only a single salad that uses honey.

Why are you faggots making a metagame of an app designed to CONTROL YOUR SLEEP SCHEDULES?
What's the meta, anyway? Overdose yourself and induce a coma to permanently farm exp, gold or whatever you're supposed to grind for in the game?

>>59333216
>Why are you faggots making a metagame of an app designed to CONTROL YOUR SLEEP SCHEDULES?
So we can shit on the shitmons.

>>59333101
AAB isn't the problem with it. If anything, that the ingredient set that I actually want. It would be pretty much perfect if it had BFS instead of Dream Shards.

File: LatiasResearchPack_EN.png (253.4 KB)

Latios Bundles were announced and unsurprisingly they're the exact same as the Latias Bundles. The only ones really worth looking at are the Last Chance bundles.

>Latios Last Chance Bundle Vol. 1 S (250 diamonds)
>• Poké Biscuit ×5
>• Latios Down ×50
>Note: Up to three available per user.

>Latios Last Chance Bundle Vol. 1 M (600 diamonds)
>• Great Biscuit ×4
>• Latios Down ×125
>Note: Up to two available per user.

>Latios Last Chance Bundle Vol. 1 L (1,500 diamonds)
>• Ultra Biscuit ×1
>• Great Biscuit ×10
>• Latios Down ×200
>Note: Up to two available per user.

Interesting to note that the M and L bundles increased limits to 2 per account, versus the usual limit of 1.

And even though you can guarantee Dragon berries and 2.4x berry power on top of all the other event bonuses on Expert, I'm probably going to stay on the regular islands during the event to maximize Latios Down. I tried a week of Expert during the Latias event, but I was never able to take advantage of the bonus for 2*+ sleep styles.

File: taleoftwopichus.jpg (457.5 KB)

Another BFS Pichu lacking speed... I'm almost at 50 Pichus, so it might be time to just cash in.

File: Pokémon Sleep_2026-06-04-22-33-51.jpg (445.1 KB)

Been tempted to throw some skill seeds into my Salamence.
He's a fixture in my Amber Canyon team and synergizes well with my Heracross.
One main skill level makes a difference, and lets me make "Scald" Chunky Salad with one skill trigger instead of two.

Next week, dragon types get bonus skill levels (+2 on week one, +5 on week two), so I get to trial that atop of two weeks of good camp ticket.

File: IMG_0795.png (400.6 KB)

Pretty proud of the first mon in my box

I keep hitting up against my 200 Pokemon limit. Might be time to start purging some duplicate shinies...

>>59337446
Pokémon storage upgrades really aren't that expensive, and the current cap is like 1200 iirc.

I'd rather drop 120 diamonds than purge shinies.

I love waking up to every Pokémon skill proc except my e4e. I am desperate for a good one, I’ve played since launch and my best is a garde with trigger m speed m and that’s it.

I've come to realize that Expert might not be as bad this time around because Latios is focusing on Dragons, while Latias was actually just focused on Skill specialists. This change means that on Expert specifically, Dragon is guaranteed to be the MAIN favored berry and you'll also have 2.4x favorite berry power as the Expert bonus on top of the other event bonuses. So if you happen to have a good Dragon team, you'll get a 10% speed boost and extra berry power (and +1 on ingredient pickups, 1.5x skill chance, +2 skill levels for the first week, and additional multipliers for using Latias and/or Latios).

The main thing to consider is that you'll have to contend with much higher tier and spawn requirements. Compared to Amber, Expert allows you Dratini in exchange for Shelgon and Salamence, but that could still work in your favor by spawning higher quantities of low level Dragons to even out your event materials (vs spawning higher value non-Dragons). It didn't work out for me during the Latias event, but the bonuses might work out better for me during this one.

File: Latias.png (23.6 KB)

>>59338821
The dealbreaker for me is in how much higher is the spawn requirement for the for Latias' 3* style in GGEX.
In GGEX you need around 8 million Snorlax strength, while in Amber you need less than half of that. Wouldn't surprise me if Latios is similar.

Also, I'll reach the 85% area bonus cap in GGEX with only two weeks of going there. When you go over the cap in EX it doesn't overflow to the regular areas, and who knows when the next EX stage is coming, so I want to avoid going there unless it is a big upgrade.

File: Pokémon Sleep_2026-06-06-18-13-45.jpg (523.5 KB)

>>59338821
>>59339367
My first week of the Latias event was at GGEX, and the second at GG. It mattered, GGEX made it too hard to get the three star sleep, and I don't think added much to my earned event exchange samples.
The more valuable sleep styles give more candy, research EXP, and event exchange tokens than usual when you're at GGEX, but it's only meaningful for the non-event stuff.

Since my Amber Canyon hasn't hit 85% yet, nor has my Lapis Lakeside (haven't been there forever), it's in my best interest to go to regular GG to maximise my odds of researching all three Latios sleep styles.
Personally, I only have the two particularly good dragons, my BFS Adament Salamence, and a mono-herb Dragonite. The latter isn't likely to be that useful even with dragon bonuses, so I'm reliant on GG rolling berries like electric, grass, fire, or water. I can get away with fighting, normal, ice, or bug to an extent, but I have under-invested ground and psychic types too. Pic related.
I don't want to contend with expert berry rolls but am willing to E-Zzz travel to reroll bad berries at regular GG. Sleep points are a little tight at the moment and even 100 or 200 for more Expert tickets is restrictive when I'm prioritising biscuits and the monthly main skill seed.

As a reminder, the final day of the two-week event also has a 1.5x DP multiplier, which can make or break 3 star legendary sleep.
Also to clarify, Dratini and Bagon are available at both regular and expert Greengrass for this event, where they ordinarily are not.
After the event, if you have Dratini or Bagon incense, you can continue to use their incense at GG/GGEX until June 29th 3:59am, but they won't spawn there naturally.
