Suppose you spot a Tyranitar, and you really want it. It takes 25 points to befriend it, which is like 8 bonus biscuits / 7 premium bonus biscuits without any added Poké Biscuits.
For Poké Biscuits, non-premium that'd be 3750 sleep points, but realistically you're not gonna feed a Tyranitar 25 biscuits; you'd give it your bonus biscuit, it might get hungry, it might get a big hit or a mega hit for instant friendship.
Whatever the expenditure, you have a Tyranitar eventually, and you just box it because it's a disappointment one way or another, since bad rolls are more likely than good.
In a practical scenario, you bide your time and feed the Ttar each time you see it, and eventually get your disappointment with a minimum of sleep points used.
The alternative is to focus your efforts on Larvitar and find one worth levelling up, but then your sleep point costs go into powering that sucker up which ain't easy, but it's an avenue and the one that I would rather take since events like Candy Boost or increased candies / EXP from sleep research make this part easier.
As for main skill seed, I have reservations about the 3600 point cost in the regular exchange.
I play premium, honestly for what's basically 25 cents a day the value is there just for the premium sleep exchange and the +100 sleep points per day, and the premium bonus biscuit pairing well with a single poké biscuit. Non-premium is pretty heavily stacked against you making headway.
I usually grab the 1800 point main skill seed and the 1400 point subskill seed very month, I've got a stockpile at the moment but considering you can keep like 3 or 5 main skill seeds depending on the Pokémon, and they're essential to making skill specialists shine, I don't mind.
