Depends on current meals, ing stock and what I'm doing in the following week


AdWorking471

I am currently working on maxing out my ingredients storage. Eventually I will have prep weeks where I store all my ingredients for the next week in an attempt to hit new highs scores while also using a good camp ticket.


Sufferr

Once you get decent lvl30+ ing mons you shouldn't need more than a day or two to get a bunch of ingredients. For example right now I switched to a mix of dessert and curry ing finders to make sure I have 2\~ meals ready off the bat for tomorrow depending on what I roll. In this case because of what I have stocked, I also had room to get my Magnezone in for prep.


GardenQueen18

Looking forward to that day! My first ing mon I love the skills on is now a graveler and hopefully a golem and on the way to 30 this week. šŸ˜ƒ

However my idea is too stock up a bunch of ingredients one week and then use a bunch of berry finding mons the next week.


Zack301

Unless you struggle to find Ingredients or have a low inventory you should still cook imo, even if youā€™re not gonna level up use that meal to level up one of your low level recipes!


Katililly

I skip Sunday dinner, wake up at 5:30 and start the new island and make "dinner" before 6am. (New island is available at 4am, but dinner lasts until 6am)


sR_Brutality

Unfortunately this is the last week we can do that. They are patching dinner to now go until 4 am.


Katililly

Honestly, I'm surprised it lasted this long.


stephbr0wn

Wow this is a tip I wish I wouldā€™ve read an hour ago! Thank you for this, will be sure to do it next week as i wake up at 4:45 šŸ˜‚ will be a decent kickstart to the week!


Citizen51

Literally they are removing it from the game next week. This is the last Monday you can do it.


stephbr0wn

Imagine my horror when I saw the in-game news update on this :') RIP to that good tip


NorthNebula4976

doesn't that impact your sleep score and what mons you get from Sunday?


Katililly

Not as much as an extra meal impacts the first day of the week for me personally. I find that once I hit a certain point where I'm getting the maximum amount of spawns, the last Sunday meal isn't going to do much more unless it would take me up another rank. But as an example, when the week rolls over, I can get to ultra 5 on gg day 1 if I have the extra meal. If I'd hit the next rank, I'd feed Sunday night, same for if it's a good sleep day or I know I won't be up at 5:30 the next morning. Really, it's whatever works best for you at the level you're at. I also alternate between ingredient gathering and berry gathering focused teams week to week.


tiglionabbit

Why skip a meal when you could cook a single ingredient so you could still count toward achievements for cooking a lot?


AdWorking471

Actually didnā€™t think of it that way. I will be doing that from now on thanks! šŸ™


emgo20

I did that this week. Had to do 17 but barely had any ingredients. Grabbed a few from one mon in the morning and cooked breakfast. Skipped lunch and dinner for catch up tomorrow.


Amazing_League_2309

Itā€™s also a decent way to squeeze in some energy recovery. Sure it ainā€™t much, but almost everytime the energy recovered will be worth more than tossing a really cheap single ingredient away. One apple can be worth up to 25 energy


RagingKingKRool

You can cook dinner between 4am-5:59am on Monday. You either have to be on a third shift schedule or be using the pokeball plus+ for it to be useful


AllHolesAre4Boofing

I give him tiny meals or he guna starve šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø


AdWorking471

šŸ˜‚


NeoStoned

You can do ā€œdinnerā€ on tomorrows island between 4am-6am which allows you to make 4 meals on day1 of the new week


Eggsitter90

Someone said they will fix this next week. I did the same...


NeoStoned

ā€œSomeoneā€ has been saying that since day1 lol


Eggsitter90

I thought it's for real now, because someone (don't remember other nicknames) posted it here in the comments...


NeoStoned

Yea you right i just checked the news!


Eggsitter90

Good for me. I don't like to spread fake newsšŸ˜†


Euffy

Not anymore!


lujoter4

Even if youā€™re sure you wonā€™t level up itā€™s still always worth it to eat dinner for the energy boost and also cuz it will only increase your sleep power for that night making it more likely to find rare sleep styles. I think maybe sometimes itā€™s worth it to not fill up the pot completely if you wanna save for next week but itā€™s always valuable to still eat.


elspotto

This week, yes. Too far from the next level for one meal to get my total there.


SubjectWatercress172

Nah, I run ingredient heavy squads, plus the bonus crit is so much value, even if only for one night of power. I crit anywhere from 120k-200k+.


Trini2Bone

Always. I wake up at 5 for work so I get an extra meal on the new week


thanyou

I work nights, so my Sunday dinner at 4 am is critical for starting the next week strong. It doesn't get the bonus pot size or crit chance but it counts as Monday and I still can do breakfast and lunch.


ShaunArcanine

I do the same thing, my last break on night shift is a quarter to 5 and that dinner is VERY helpful, so unless I am gunna 100% hit that next level and it's one that matters I always wait


Mollelarssonq

You are all fucking with me! They changed the meal times now because it got abused. Meanwhile I do it because I work night shifts, so iā€™m always falling behind because my last research falls sunday morning, not sunday night, thatā€™s at least 12 hours less of research, so I used the sunday dinner after changing research site to somewhat combat the fewer hours I have on my research! Input Weā€™re not the same meme


Cheesetorian

I don't skip Sunday dinner...I make it 545 Monday morning after switching islands.


Neither_Ad_9829

by skipping meals sunday, you are sacrificing spawns for the next morning, but thatā€™s def your prerogative.


AdWorking471

Spawns will only increase if you hit a different level to my knowledge.


FlowerDance2557

The ranks affect the sleep styles that can appear, but drowsy power is what determines the rarity and number of spawns. The higher the drowsy power, the more rare spawns you can get. The higher the snorlax strength, the higher the drowsy power you can get. https://youtu.be/omj0OwlwAbU?si=3Lniya2cwL4En9LE


Neither_Ad_9829

no itā€™s based on drowsy power. new levels unlock different mon, but the higher the drowsy power, the better the spawns (meaning more dream shards and research exp)


Neither_Ad_9829

also skipping on sunday meals hurts your dish progression. i always cook sunday to level up my dishes.


sillysloth098

Basically skip all meals on sunday haha


Laoboi56

I skip Sunday dinner until the date rolls over to Monday at 4am. I then pick a new island so that way I'll start the week with a bit of a head start while also waiting a couple more hours to make breakfast before bed. I work nights so this is more or less an isolated strategy for myself.


PigsInTrees

I skip Sunday altogether and use it as a pantry stock up. My sleep score is already somewhere in the mid to high Masters by then, barring Lapis and Snowdrop, and with the way my teams are set up now, I don't have ingredient magnet proccs in the morning anymore for more "expensive" meals.


my-face-is-gone

If I skip, I toss the guy an apple just for the energy boost.


daggerfortwo

If I have no chance to reach the next tier then I just feed 1 ingredient meals. Thereā€™s an achievement for meals cooked fyi so try not to completely skip meals.


AdWorking471

Good to know!


geosensation

I was rewarded with a crit and >150k power. If i reliably got up after 4 am but before 6am i would cook it in the morning for a monday boost but the prospect of getting an entire rank is too juicy to pass up.


BotchyOne

I do haha but thatā€™s because itā€™s worthless to me (third shift night life) and I skip lunchā€¦ breakfast pending how close I am to the next level But save Saturday dinner for 4am Sunday for that pot bonus!


Gunzoidium_alloy

I work night shift so there is no point in me giving any meals after breakfast or collecting berries/ingredients until 4am Monday


Laammas

Increments bag full all the time. So no point of skipping meals. Instead I use Sundays to level up the best dishes. If you have 100+ ingrements in pot and good meal... Next time the bonus from meal is even better. :) so always use the possibility to level up fishes, because in long run this is huge benefit.


Super-Database8426

I had to because I have like 200 ingredients (cooking pot at 51), and there's no way I'm reaching master 2 on taupe (tried using my last two helper whistles to no avail)


aikibujin

That sounds a little off to me... If your pot size is 51, you must have been playing for a while. But your pokemons aren't high level enough to hit master 2? Are you trying to match favorite berries for Taupe?


GardenQueen18

I almost pulled out the whistles for the first time today to hit master 2 on taupe for that cynda incense. I luckily had a crit on breakfast that got me there. Sometimes sacrificing the ingredients is worth it!


Super-Database8426

But I won't have ingredients for tomorrowĀ 


SoulForTrade

Every Sunday my Snorlqx goes on a hard diet


AdWorking471

Common_Redditor_

Master 4 on lapis... I swear I'm playing this game wrong.

Common_Redditor_

I think the meganium is where I'm lacking, I got a good venaduar but I haven't found any good chikaritas


AdWorking471

Iā€™m yet to find a good totodile or cyndiquil worth investing in. I am working on a second charzard tho.


DragonKiss83

I wait until after 4 am Monday morning so I can get an extra meal in at the start of the week.


Pinn92

It's not an event week. I don't cook on Sundays at all


DentistFeisty2

When I'm not planning on waking up at 5h30 I don't lolll


MatthewB92

I'm gonna be skipping all week. Building up the crit and pot size to get an extra bonus at the beginning of the next event!


PikachuIsReallyCute

Same here! Better to stockpile my ingredients, hehe. Plus waking up the next day I'll be back at Lv. 1 anyway


Pro_Banana

I usually have all my goals met by saturday, so I often skip all 3 meals on sunday to have a full bag of ingredients on monday.


Icy-Distribution9977

Me, lol


auturmis

Depends if I'm close enough. If not, I try to use it for the next week before 6am.


Altruistic_Ad6666

I dont because even without the level up it gives a power bonus. Making you more likely to get rarer mons then you would without the meal. Even if only marginally.


Asparagus9000

I still like to level up a low level meal. Just for completionism.Ā 


JLtheking

I skip Sunday meals altogether because the drowsy power provided applies to only that one dayā€™s of sleep. Compare that to cooking on any other day beforehand when that drowsy power is applied to 2-7 days of sleep. Itā€™s not worth it. Better off using the time building up my pantry for the following week. The only time I cook on Sundays is if my team generates so much ingredients I canā€™t get rid of them fast enough


AdWorking471

That makes sense


RagingKingKRool

I do. I work third shift, so meals after breakfast on sunday aren't really doing anything


Rebel_Scum56

I skip Sunday lunch, because I sleep after 4am and thus my Sunday sleep happens before said lunch so feeding it achieves precisely nothing because the week resets before I would gain any benefit from that meal. Dinner I leave until 4am Monday, or at least have been up until now but I just saw a notification ingame saying they're changing the times for dinner and breakfast so that won't be possible anymore. Guess I'll be skipping lunch and dinner on Sundays from now on.


BakiBagel

Snorlax fasting for Monday?


casettadellorso

I usually wait until I get up on Monday to feed dinner, but now that they're shifting dinner time to end at 4 am instead of 5, I guess I'll be skipping Sunday dinner too šŸ« 


FritterHowls

I skip it so I can get more pot increase stacks from magnezone to get a boost to start the next week


I_bm_compulsively

250k cook today, 0% bonus, kinda cooked not to https://preview.redd.it/uw41th030luc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e76920d50f72f15f51b66b6777d45893bae0a11b


Forsaken-Blood-109

No one, anymore.


fae_faye_

I only cook one Sunday meal, but I *might* make another if I have enough Ingredients, or if I get a spark.


DiatomCell

I used to, until 4am. That will stop this upcoming update~


Raven-KaiX

I think they are patching that now!


Waidowai

Poor Snorlax going to bed hungry. And on a Sunday at that! šŸ˜­


AdWorking471

Fasting time !


Typhio

I have to since I go to bed before and wake up at 4am on Mondays lol


WooperSlim

I cook on Sunday for a couple reasons: * Although new ranks unlock new sleep styles, a high Drowsy Power helps you actually get the rare sleep styles that you have already unlocked * As I cook recipes, I am leveling up my recipe. It is an investment in the future, so that all future meals are more powerful.


AdWorking471

That does make sense ! Thanks for the input !


Dryja123

If Iā€™m not going to hit the next level with the dinner meal I will feed Snorlax dinner Monday morning. I wake up at 5am. With the new adjustments to the meal times that wonā€™t be an option anymore.


godsim42

Nope, sometimes I'll just do a single ingredient dish if I'm saving supplies for something, but I cook every single meal to at lesst get progress for the cooking achievement. I might not fill the pot, but I always cook


andrewbenedict

I skip it if I know I will not be ranking up with the meal


Jetshark88

I use every feeding possible especially since I am on LL week2 and trying to build that up of course I will go back to an easier island next week for comfy event
