What is Pokémon Sleep?
Pokémon Sleep is a sleep tracking app that utilizes your smartphone and/or the Pokémon Go Plus + device to record data as you sleep. In doing so, you'll be able to meet a variety of Pokémon and fill out your Sleep Style Dex.

Be sure to post your Research ID so that you can add and share candy with fellow Anons. We are currently locked at 50 friends.

FAQ:
>How do Shinies work?
If you encounter a shiny Pokémon, you only need to feed it a single Poké Biscuit to befriend it.
>What should I spend my diamonds on?
Expanding your ingredient pockets, item pockets and Pokémon box. Long term you’ll want to max out ingredient pockets, only get half of max for items and max 100 for Pokémon.
>When should I use my items?
When you have a good grasp of the game mechanics. You may want to save up Recovery Incenses for event missions.
>What should I spend my sleep points on?
Poké Biscuits first or if you’re a premium user: Main and Subskill seeds and Great Biscuits.
>Can I play this game if there's a lot of noise where I sleep?
The game tracks sleep based on motion only; sound has no impact.
>A Pokémon I fed got full! Will I have to start from scratch the next time I find one?
Nope! Pokémon retain the level of progress they were at the last time you fed them.
>How do dream clusters work?
The higher your research rank, the more you get. You may want to hold onto them as long as possible.

1.5x Drowsy Power for the night before Pokémon Presents was confirmed, which is kind of a nice start to the week.

My feeling going in is that whatever comes up for Sleep will be pretty lowkey compared to the Pokémon Day announcement. Maybe something about Expert Mode and maybe a teaser for something that will be added to the dex in a month or two.

The tracking on this game sucks donkey dicks and all the fucking menuing is irritating. If you're gonna show 5+ pop-ups after sleeping, consolidate them or give an option to disable all the animation shite. Retard devs.

They need to streamline the menus and gameplay some more. I don't have time to click through all those menus and skill triggers first thing in the morning.
You could easily condense the sleep time, sleep style and drowsy power slides all into a single slide. The daily login gift could be further streamlined, too and made faster.
Feeding biscuits takes too damn long.
Also skill triggers should be faster. And cooking should be instant.

maybe there's something about cooking that I don't understand, but in the recipe lists I see the Ninja Curry "rated" higher than the Butter Curry, maybe because at max level they give out more strength?
but the butter curry uses more ingredients

Given identical recipe levels, Ninja Curry is slightly stronger than Dream Eater Curry. Plus Ninja takes fewer ingredients, meaning more space to put extra ingredients in for even more points. In practice, it doesn't really matter which one you make as there's only about a 10% difference even at the highest levels with the strongest ingredient add-ins.

I used to make Nija often, but actually tried transitioning to dream eater last week and this week personally, because the ingredient team is easier and lets me run Cramorant and Luxray for bigger pots and the occasional crit.

Yeah, the ease of making a recipe is a big factor, as the effort needed to make the stronger recipe can potentially detract from just running your best BFS berry farmers.
You also want to look for synergies with the extra ingredients your non-ingredient farmers can pick up, as they provide a degree of relief on dedicated ingredient farmers.

If you have an ABC Victreebel, that can provide a balanced number of ingredients to help make both the Ninja Curry and the Butter Curry, albeit it'll struggle to gather enough tomatoes so you'd want a dedicated tomato farmer to pitch in there.
You could have a Blastoise that helps to stockpile cacao and milk, and then alternate stuff like Quaquaval or Tyranitar for beans, Charizard or Aggron for sausages, Gengar or Quagsire for mushrooms. The idea being you gather Ninja Curry ingredients whilst you're got a stockpile of Butter Curry ingredients.

Something to add about recipes and their secret multipliers. They only apply to the required ingredients, so any additional ingredients only get the recipe level bonus, whilst the require ingredients get both the secret bonus AND the level bonus.

Here's the infographic again.

I was considering Greengrass again for the focus on getting Hoenn sleep styles, but you can't get their 3 star sleep styles there.
I'm considering Taupe Hollow because of the boosts to the Blaziken and Swampert lines, which don't depend on main skill levels for being berry specialists.
This is running on the assumption that you're more likely to see their 2nd and 3rd stages, so it's a good opportunity to add up to 18 new sleep styles (Torchic/Mudkip 3 star, all stars for their evos)

Also worth considering each map's regular spawns.
Like Taupe Hollow would be good for Larvitar if you need a ginger farmer, Cyan Beach or OGPP for Farfetch'd if you need a leek farmer, OGPP if you need a coffee farmer, etc.

quick check and this is some bfs+hb and one hb+double skill trigger skill mon with natures i could neutralise

it says once you receive the bonus it will remain active for the event, and gives the example that you can get 3x sleep exp each night. does this mean we can get 8 mints if we plant a white seed the first night, one each night + the gift?

Correct, July 21st (tomorrow), 20th if the anniversary proper.

Anyway here's a bunch of helpers I earmarked as needing mints, and would really benefit from even a neutral mint. I guess neutral mints is how they keep you rolling for ones with beneficial natures and ideal skill spreads, unless there's more they've yet to reveal. This is only day 1 of their updates this week.

Before you ask about the Suicune, I ran it through calcs and it turns out the subskills still result in a net positive skill trigger rate, and BFS more than helps justify it.

Also, I'm one sleep away from rank 65, my Pawmo is finally ready to evolve (will do that next week), and I just made my first Apple Acid salad this morning, good times.

Checked my Cyan Beach team, and if I were to neutralise my Suicune's nature the effect would be negligible. Suicune gets slightly worse whilst the team gains get slightly better.
Probably a waste of a neutral mint, it'd take a skill chance up mint to justify it.
Or it could just be that helping speed natures have a better effect on skill specialists with comparatively low skill trigger rates, for the special ones like Helper Boost.

Yeah, I'm just going through these now to see which would most be worthwhile, and that shiny Quaxly definitely needs an Ingredient Up mint rather than a neutralising mint.
Speed Up natures appear to be generally worth keeping in spite of the penalty to ingredient gathering or skill triggers, which defies expectations.

Looks like Raikou, Gardevoir, and Golduck are clear winners here in terms of skill gains.
Both of the Luxray are good as either a viable tomato farmer, or strong OGPP Helper Boost support with ABC BFS.
The Clodsire is massively underwhelming, since the helping speed nature penalty is only 8%.
The Meowscarada is a pretty nice boost to milk gathering, whilst the BFS Vikavolt is also a nice boost to coffee gathering. The thing is I already have a BFS mono-coffee Vikavolt with Ing Finder M + Modest nature, but having two to stockpile coffee and run on a future Bug island is tempting.
That said, if you've got something with an EXP Up nature, you've got to cash in on that before you neutralise it, so I'll focus on getting my first Vikavolt to 60 and then put the rest into the second over time.

Raikou and Gardevoir are my priorities for neutralising mints as it sounds like we're getting at least two next week; one straight-up from Neroli, and one from a white seed.
The fact that Neroli gives one to you, suggests that it's actually a Sleep Dex Goal item reward, so we might be getting new goals with new cooking pot upgrades, and potentially a new island next week.

I just primed a BFS Pawmo to evolve into Pawmot too, and can justify candy boosting my Raikou, so I'm very, very tempted to go to OGPP next week now. It'll pair perfectly with my BFS Raichu and BFS Dedenne, leaving a 5th slot for my BFS Gengar, or eventually one of the Luxray candidates.

I was surprised, I didn't feel like I had that many crucial candidates for mints. Most of my crap mons are due to bad ingredients, or more often due to terrible skills
This feels like my best option, ending up with Ing M, mono coffee and help speed S/M if I want to invest a seed.

Seems like the best use cases for neutralising mints are things with truly useless natures, like Energy Recovery Up / Important Trait Down.

For Skill and Ingredient specialists, it's also best if they have both their S and M subskills if you have to give them a neutral nature.

The details aren't clear yet, but I want to know if a Pokémon can be given more than one mint, or if they're locked-in with the first mint you give them.
In other words I don't want to give my Raikou a neutralising mint if it turns out this locks it out of getting a Careful or Adamant mint later.

i don't think you could pay me to use a mint on a pokemon without at least one of helping bonus or bfs. it sucks that grubbin has ingredient down, but that with a neutral nature it still becomes just your average coffee gatherer

surely you'd want your limited amount nature changer on something that becomes close to ideal, like the psyducks >>58015629 >>58015655

Positive natures are stronger than S subskills, so Neutralizing Mints will be a somewhat desperate option to salvage something usable. The weight seems similar to using Subskill Seeds.

Legendary Pokémon seem like the best use of a mint since they're so hard to come by.
Compared to an Ekans, you know?

That said, the combination of Ing Finder / Skill Trigger M, and Helping Speed M, is good enough with a neutral nature. That's the situation with my Lax Raikou.

Maybe for ingredient mons since having the right ingredient spread is more important, but I hard disagree with this for skill mons. You're already investing main skill seeds, potential sub skill seeds, and now an extremely limited mint just to have something that's above average. Unless it's a legendary, I would rather just continue searching for a better mon. And if it is a legendary, then it's still adding on to the already huge investment just for an above average legendary that is only usable with 1 favorite berry and a specific team around it, limiting your other options.

Guess I'm going to try out Cyan tomorrow. Haven't hit M20 there yet, plus I haven't seen many Treecko or Mudkip yet.
My first Torchic was quite good, so no real need to look for more, especially since my Lapis team is already rather packed. Plusle and Minun are OK too, but it would be hard to find a functioning pair, especially since there's no guaranteed hungry next week either.

So mints are here.
Apparently you can only hold 2 neutralising mints at a time. It's not currently possible to receive more than 2 mints anyway, but apparently if you want more in the future you'll be forced to use any mints you're still holding.
Seems like these are gonna be very limited, like the legendary Pokémon incenses that you aren't allowed to stockpile.

The wording of "effects of the mint can't be undone" discouraged me a bit, as it somewhat implies "you can't overwrite the mint with another mint", but I dunno.
I hesitated, but then remembered I need to actually run calcs on my OGPP team to see if this is worth it.

Ran said calcs, my usual OGPP team has Wiggly, Raichu, Dedenne, Gengar, and 5th is whatever ingredient farmer I need.

Gengar provides some incredible strength though surplus mushrooms for pot filler, but most of the time doesn't help me make dishes.

On a typical week, the minted Raikou only seems to provide a marginal benefit over my typical team, and just running my second BFS Raichu seems better.
Skill trigger boosted events would see Raikou perform better though, and it has the prospect of Helping Speed M+S at 75.

Substituting the Gengar for a Luxray (that also needs mint + subskill seed) doesn't provide too much advantage other than ingredient diversity and occasional cooking pot buffs.

In the long term, it does seem like I would end up having a stronger team formation if I fully invested into getting the Pawmot, Luxray, and Raikou into level 60+, but the need to use a previous mint on the Raikou alone and not knowing how frequently we'd get these is enough to give me pause on investment. I can put handy candies in other things, after all.
I've been able to hit Master 15 at OGPP on a normal week without the Raikou as it is, but details of Expert Mode could very much change my opinion on this.

The Pawmot only got evolved this morning and is still only level 37, the calcs is a reflection of possible returns on investments, and getting that Pawmot to 50 would actually be pretty quick but needs handy candies to do it.

My Candy Boost priority this week is getting my BFS mono-coffee Vikavolt from 58 to 60 so I can have a superb coffee farmer, but it's looking like Pawmot is next in line for candy boosting.

Outside of OGPP I'll still be running my Wiggly regularly because of Helping Bonus, but I have a promising BFS female Ralts lined up as a Lapis Lakeside healer, if I give it a neutralising mint to remove its skill down nature. (see >>58015655)
I'll run the calcs on that later, I don't doubt it being worthwhile because a good Gardevoir naturally performs better than a top-tier Wiggly, and I don't have to think about the team formation that hard. I don't have a worthwhile Cresselia yet.

That Mudkip is definitely dogshit. The idea with Swampert is that it stays on your team farming berries and ocasionally procs Tasty Chance S to boost a meal here and there. As a Berry Specialist, BFS is a must on it, and everything else is a bonus.

The Minum is really good, but its max potential lies behind at best two subskill seeds (at worst four), and five main skill seeds. People will hyperfocus on the plus/minus synergy but I think that while that is definitely better and more optimal, if you have a super good Minum then it doesn't NEED the synergy, that's just an extra.

Something to add on with using mini-candy boost.
The 4x dream shard cost effectively results in doubling the dream shard usage and halving the candies needed, for the same amount of EXP granted.

Where I seldom seem to be short on shards, I don't find myself hesitating to candy boost something that's nearing an important level, like my level 58 Vikavolt that needs 60 for that coffee boost.

>>58019228
The Mudkip is not worth it in the slightest, with arguably the worst nature for a berry specialist, no BFS, and HB at 75.

The Minun on the other hand, has the potential to be one of your best if you can get it to 50, but it would require at least 2 subskill seeds and at most 4 if you're unlucky (though Inventory boosts aren't a bad thing for a skill specialist).
I'd keep the Minun in the pocket for sure.

Altaria and Dratini family, that's it.
They have the strongest berries, but no island with fixed dragon berries yet (also true for poison and bug).

Altaria is a berry specialist and Dratini is an ingredient specialist, however Dragonite has such a great helping speed that it's only slightly worse than a BFS Altaria as a berry gatherer, and makes up in spades with shitloads of herbs and maybe corn.

>>58019803
The individual bonuses last the entire week, so the power you gain from one of your Pokemon having a less shitty nature isn't going to outweigh a day of any of the other bonuses. Not to mention Neroli already gave you a mint anyways.

yellow first, because if you're hunting for a good minun, plusle or hoenn starter then any of those being hungry helps you befriend and raise the species friendship level faster- meaning better rolls
then red, because more candies from fully evolved hoenn starters x 2.5 is pretty good
then dreamshard, so you get more shards from rare sleep styles
then blue, so you can have a team with sleep exp pokemon and get more exp with the blue flower

Sleep has been known to round up values, it's been observed for the 1.5x cooking pot size bonus on Sundays.
E.g. 69 x 1.5 = 103.5, gets rounded up to 104 which coincidentally is exactly enough for Apple Acid salads, it's 100% intentional.

As for the EXP, keep in mind that 3x base is also 3x any other multipliers, if you've got Sleep EXP bonus helpers or growth incense, it's a big boost and also 3 weeks worth of EXP in 1 week.

If you didn't do this, then you should be glad. Reposting shit was easy enough, but actually redeeming your rewards was a huge hassle. You could get 200 points per day (300 on the first), then if you wanted to make multiple exchanges, you had to do them all individually. And each one also came with its own code that you had to copy and paste over to a separate redemption screen.

Generally it's better to use Pokémon incenses later in the week, because your higher Drowsy Power will improve your chances at discovering rare sleep styles for your SleepDex. They also reward more Pokémon candies, dream shards, and research EXP.

It's also a good idea to stockpile Pokémon and recovery incenses for events, as they often feature a "use 7 incenses" task.

Some events also feature legendary Pokémon incense, which are special and you're only allowed to carry one of each for a given species. Since legendary Pokémon award lots of dream shards and research exp, it's better to save them for events that boost them, and use them in conjunction with a luck or focus incense.

Correct, Pokémon incenses and everything else in your item bag has no expiration date.
The only limits on specific items, are up to 2 neutralising mints, and up to 1 legendary incense (currently just Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Cresselia).

The 7 incenses mission this event gives 5x Handy Candy S, which is useful so you could maybe consider doing it, if you can afford to.
Just be smart with your incense usage, you get very few focus / luck / growth incense for free.
