>>5236733520K is insanely easy to make while raiding. That's 1 big nugget. Which are a 8% drop from lvl5 raids, and each raid rolls 15 times. 71% chance. Or 4 star pieces which are like 16% each. 92%.
Also, mints just drop from raids directly.
So pretty likely chance you can make that much from a single raid.
It's 530K to max stats with vitamins alone. But also raids drop wings.
Bottlecaps are 20K each as well. 6 stats means 120K for all 6 stats.
It's 100K for an ability capsule. Or you can just get them from raids. hidden ability patches you can ONLY get from raids.
SO, absolutely worst case scenario, if you hated all forms of breeding and hated EV training, and you started with something that's wrong in every way but species, you can buy a fully competitive mon for 20+120+530+100 = 770K.
that's about... 41 raids? Admittedly that's a fair amount.
HOWEVER, if you're willing to EV train instead of use vitamins, and are willing to just catch another one if you have the wrong ability, that drops to 140K.
Meaning 7 raids to forgo all need for breeding.
And only 1 raid to forgo all need for synchronize/everstone (outside of regional variant breeding).
>egg movesmirror herb. 1 time investment of 30K. honestly so much more easy than chain breeding moves I wouldn't even bother.
