This change means that Wigglytuff over-charging your helpers' energy before bed time now has added importance.
Quick overview of how energy affects helping speed:
>81% and higher - 2.222x helping speed>61-80% - 1.923x helping speed>41-60% - 1.613x helping speed>21-40% - 1.408x helping speed>20% and lower - 1.0x helping speedCooking meals restoring helper energy is going to be greatly beneficial, even if it's a little amount. It will help prevent your team bottoming out of energy before going to bed.
Energy decays by 1 point every 10 minutes, so it takes 200 minutes for helping speed to degrade (assuming you start the day at 100% energy).
Assuming you have a 8.5 hour sleep session as the game recommends, your helpers would lose 51% of their energy overnight from 510 minutes passed.
>>55290017These changes will mean energy recovery bonus will have a lot more importance, even if the sleep energy recovery is still capped at 100%.
If your helpers are pretty tired when you go to sleep, they will probably hit 0% during sleep time and would probably not recover up to 100% energy. This difference is probably why they softened the Energy Recovery Down penalty for natures.
Wigglytuff just got more important, honestly.

Premium trial should be activated when you've saved up a lot of sleep points, and at the end of the month so you can use the two-week period to access the premium stock of the current and next month.
Berry Finding S is the best subskill and makes any Pokémon instantly better, regardless of their role/speciality (berries, ingredients, or skills).
Focus on befriending base stage Pokémon, as evolution grants major stat boosts that already evolved Pokémon lose out on (recruit Pichu, not Pikachu).
