Dataset Overview

The dataset presented here contains 113 Pokémon entries, each documenting core attributes relevant to a tiered analysis framework for Berry, Ingredient, and Skill-based strategies. For every Pokémon, the sheet lists:

ID and basic identity fields
Specialty (Berry, Ingredient, or Skill)
Main Skill (including subtypes such as S, M, or variations like Durin, Leppa, etc.)
Berry and Ingredients employed for crafting dishes or gains
Ingredient Averages at level 30 and level 60
Frequency (Minutes between procs or yields)
Inventory Size (capacity for berries/ingredients)
Tier (ranging from F up to S+, with nuances per footnotes)

This data supports the evaluation and placement of each Pokémon within a tiered framework, highlighting how ingredient value, main skill potency, and inventory constraints interact to influence overall power and utility in end-game scenarios. The document also includes a changelog detailing updates, new line additions (Onix, Shuppet, Banette, etc.), and adjustments to tier placements based on observed frequencies and ingredient values. Explanations for placement in the Tier list can be found by hovering over the Pokémon's rating in Pokedex Column K in the source spreadsheet.

Additional sections below reproduce the full data table and provide context on changes, subskills, nature modifiers, and recipe planning features referenced in the dataset.

Notes & Changelog

NOTE: The dataset includes extensive notes and changelogs about mobile usage, data source, and versioning of the sheet.

NOTE FOR MOBILE USERS: Full Google Doc functionality requires installation of the free Google Sheets App. Feel free to use the document without it, but you won't be able to see Cell Notes, Make Copy as personal version, and filter/sort data. To use this data sheet, please save a copy of it by clicking "File" at the top, then choosing "Make a copy" - then all of the functionality becomes available. This includes ability to sort + filter, as well as use the drop-down sheets for Recipe calculator, subskills, and nature.

Changes 11/16/2023

Onix, Steelix, Shuppet, and Banette added.
Slaking moved from B+ to A- as datamining shows higher frequency for main skill proc.

Changes 9/28/2023

Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable added into the game. Pokedex, Tier Lists, and Ingredient Tiers updated.
Updated Ingredient Averages on the pokedex to reflect average value obtained at that level (including what was unlocked at previous levels) versus the average value of the items unlocked at that level only.
Moved Metronome main skill to average instead of weak. Before this rating was conflated with Togepi line, as it was the only pokemon with this ability. By definition Metronome should be average, so it's now adjusted :)

Changes 9/12/2023

Mr. Mime and Mime Jr. Added into the game. Pokedex, Tier Lists, and Ingredient Tiers updated.

Changes 9/1/2023

COMPLETELY NEW! - New Ingredient Tiers sheet - this sheet displays: All possible ingredient drops and quantities for each Pokemon at level 30 and 60 breakpoints; Comparative analysis for each Pokemon to find which is the "best" ingredient drop per Pokemon at each breakpoint; Added Average Ingredient values at levels 30/60, as well as Inventory Capacity to Pokedex. - New SubSkills Sheet - this now contains: Tier list by Pokemon specialty type; Condensed SubSkill descriptions and explanations. - Advanced Recipe Planner. - Other Changes and Adjustments: Tier List rebalanced, Natures Sheet revised, Main Skills Rankings refined, and added checklist for Pokedex.

Notes on Metronome and related notes

Metronome is generally bad since it replaces Berry/Ingredient skill with a random ability; better to run a fast Pokemon with consistent Berry/Ingredient specialty, or aPokemon with the best main skill (Ampharos). See the Reddit discussion for in-depth reasoning: https://old.reddit.com/r/PokemonSleep/comments/15oj6us/togepi_evolution_line_is_slept_on_no_pun_intended/

Appendix: Data Notes

The main data table includes fields: ID, Owned (checkbox for personal collection), Pokemon, Specialty, Main Skill, Berry, Ingredients, Ing. Avg 30, Ing. Avg 60, Freq. (Min), Inv. Size, Tier, with footnotes [numbers] indicating supplemental explanations.
The Notes/Changelog section documents updates to Onix/Steelix/Shuppet/Banette at 11/16/2023 and other changes across 2023.
The dataset is designed to be used with the Recipe Planner and SubSkills sheets to optimize berry and ingredient selections for team-building and dish planning.

Appendix: Data Tables (Complete)

The complete appended data table mirrors the 113 Pokémon lines above with identical values and footnotes for Tier positions. This appendix ensures the data export preserves every numeric and textual data point from the source sheet, including the footnote references and the exact ordering of fields for each Pokémon.
