>>56772944Oh my bad, you were still on Slaking specifically.
So, yeah as you say, 4x Apples on 60 is weak and should've been higher quantity to compensate for its low strength compared to tomatoes or honey.
These ingredient counts are likely to compensate for Slaking having a 33.90% ingredient rate in spite of it being a berry specialist, just a very slow one.
Vigoroth by comparison has a 20% ingredient rate.
Compare it to say, Golduck. A skill specialist, it somehow has 4x apples on 30 and 6x apples on 60.
Its ingredient rate is only 16.2% though, and it should obviously be specced for skill procs.
Actually, the high ingredient counts can be a counterbalance as they cause Golduck to hit carry capacity much faster, where it cannot gather skill procs.
There's a rationale for every Pokémon's stats in this game anyway, if you just look at the whole picture.
