>>57219804In an ideal situation yeah, you want as much of your team to have favorite berries as possible, especially with BFS.
You may make exceptions though.
Skill specialists contribute to the team in different ways, particularly Energy for Everyone specialists. A good one boosts your daily gains by around 60% by keeping the whole team at peak productivity, compensating for the lack of direct strength gains from the E4E user.
Ingredient specialists, sometimes the ability to gather lots of key ingredients for the best available dishes is more worthwhile than picking up 1 or 2 favorite berries at a time.
Now, more importantly would be berry specialists.
You're likely to have one MVP berry specialist that you've kept running and is a higher level than everything else you've got.
Such helpers are worth running in lieu of favorite berries since they'll deliver, especially since berry strength scales exponentially.
I'm at Taupe Hollow this week with a 71% area bonus, and these are my top five BFS berry specialists auto-picked by the game.
My fire helpers will gather Leppa berries with a base strength of 71, whilst Feraligatr gathers Oran berries with 115 strength, and Raichu gathers Grepa berries with 107 strength.
>Leppa Lv. 40: 71 x 2 x 1.71 = 243 per berry (729 per helping)>Oran Lv. 54: 115 x 1.71 = 197 per berry (591 per helping)>Grepa Lv. 60: 107 x 1.71 = 183 per berry (549 per helping)For perspective, here's how Leppa compares at 30 and 60:
>Leppa Lv. 30: 56 x 2 x 1.71 = 192 per berry (576 per helping)>Leppa Lv. 60: 116 x 2 x 1.71 = 397 per berry (1,191 per helping)That's just berry strength, without looking at individual helping frequencies which depend on the species, subskills, and nature (and Good Camp Ticket usage).
Raichu's much faster than Feraligatr (39.27x vs 30.86x), so that helps compensate its weaker Grepa berries.
In short favorite berries are top priority but if you've got over-levelled BFS berry specialists, they're worthwhile interim.
