Subjective Info

The following content contains subjective advice or recommendations. Please take it into consideration and make your own decisions based on your playstyle and goals.

Pace of Gameplay ​

Resources are less abundant + catch frequency is FAR slower vs. Main Series/PoGO.

  • Spend your resources effectively and efficiently!
  • Expect to encounter investable Mons 1-2 times a month at most. Leveling your first Mon to 60 takes ~6-12 months.

Sleep Points ​

Points gained daily/monthly differs based on F2P or Premium Pass status.

Sleep Tracking Disclaimer ​

For in-game sleep tracking purposes, a day ends at 3:59AM and a new day begins at 4:00AM. For sleep to count towards a given day, the tracking must begin before 3:59AM. Tracking that begins after 4:00AM will count towards the following day's Sleep Point + Pokémon research limit.

Daily Income ​

Max Points earned a day from sleeping is 100 Points. The Points received correspond to the player's nightly Sleep Score (i.e. 100 Score = 100 Points). Should a player log two sleeps, total Points earned across both sleep sessions from Sleep Score alone is still capped to 100 Points total.

  • F2P players gain a max of 100 Points daily.
  • Premium players gain a max of 200 Points daily.
    • (Sleep Score + a static 100 extra from Premium Pass)

Monthly Income ​

Excluding Event Rewards/Developer Gifts and including the 2000 Points gained from GSD:

  • F2P players gain a max of 5000 Points monthly.
  • Premium players gain a max of 9000 Points monthly.
    • (Includes the static 1000 Points bonus from monthly Premium Pass reward)

Optimal Sleep Points Usage ​

Expenditure priorities differ based on F2P or Premium status.

ALL FOLLOWING CALCULATIONS ASSUME NIGHTLY SLEEP SCORE OF 100:

Order of F2P priorities: ​

  • E-Zzz Ticket (100)
  • 20 Regular Poké Biscuits (150) Sleep Points remaining: 1900 (enabling Main Skill Seed purchases every other month).

Order of Premium priorities: ​

  • E-Zzz Ticket (100)
  • Subskill Seed (1400)
  • Mainskill Seed (1800)
  • Great Biscuits (400)
  • Premium Poké Biscuits (100) Sleep Points remaining: 2700. Players may also consider:
  • Regular Poké Biscuits (150)
  • Handy Candy M (500)
  • Save for F2P MSS (3600)

What About Master Biscuits? ​

The MB costs 4000 Sleep Points! This is a significant portion of your monthly Points. Remember, use resources efficiently. MBs are an extremely inefficient use of Points so for the vast majority of players, buying the MB is highly discouraged.

Diamonds (D) Gained + Optimal Usage ​

Expect ~5650D per year excluding Achievements/Recipe & Ingredient unlocks/Sleep Style Goals. Breakdown:

Stamp Cards ​

  • Reset every 6 days to maximize diamonds at cost of Cluster S.
  • Day 3 → 10D; Day 6 → 25D.
  • 35D per card x 60 cards per year = 2100D per year

Daily Gifts ​

  • You gain on average 6.675D per daily gift x 365 gifts = 2440D per year

Weekly Missions ​

Complete list here

  • The cooking mission is not guaranteed.
  • Rolling 5 of 7 missions means 21 combinations (10 with one diamond mission, 10 with both, and 1 with neither) = 21.429D per week x 52 weeks = 1110D per year

Order of priority: ​

  • ↑ Ingredient Bag → ~300
  • Reassess Item Bag/Pokémon Box (increase ONLY as needed)
  • ↑ Ingredient Bag → MAX
  • Reassess Item Bag/Pokémon Box again (increase ONLY as needed)
  • GOOD Bundles
