I know this has nothing to do with the video, but I’m really glad I came across your shiny hunting with the Poké Radar guide. Your commentary is amazing and funny, and even helps shiny hunting Pokémon like Lugia much more relaxing and enjoyable! (968 SRs, not too big? But not giving up!) Hope you feel better Austin John! You gotta take breaks too! ;v; (I remember how ORAS had no limit with their Pokéblocks o.o)
It blows me away that kids are supposed to understand all this stuff. I got a Pokémon game for my 10 year old daughter and she had absolutely no clue what she was doing with IVs, EVs, Poffins, shiny hunting, etc. Lol 😆
that's the magical part of these games. You can play through unknowing all of these things and enjoy it, then as we grow older, we can learn to optimize and play better. :) I beat Pokemon red with a level 84 Charizard who slashed everything. I think I had a Pidgeot with fly, he was my second highest level at 42. lol
Protip! Using both your Joysticks is actually additive, meaning you can spin both of them at once at half the speed that you would with one but still have the same Stirring speed. Makes it hella easier and also saves the sticks from becoming disfunctional
Bruh I came back to this vid right now after realising this and I was like no way anyone will see if I comment this on such an old vid, glad someone already said it way back then
I found that when you have to sturr to the other side when cooking the poffins, you can use the other joystick to give that speed up spin in contrast to spin one joystick very fast to prevent it from burning in the final stages of the cooking
I was gonna mention this until I saw your comment. Using both joysticks makes cooking poffins much easier especially in the final blue/purple stage where you just want speed. In the first 2 stages you do need to be careful since using both makes it easy to spill but it's great for getting the speed back up after direction change.
Hi Austin! One more tip for those (eventually) going for the contests. Everytime you max out a certain trait, there’s the scarf guy at Pastoria City that gives you a scarf based on which trait you maxed, which really helps when held during contests!
Well... The Trait doesn't have to be maxed out actually, if the sheen bar is maxed out the Scarf Guy will give you a scarf depending on which trait is highest.
@@kryse4944 If the traits are all perfectly balanced or just more than one is maxed, I guess it means you won't get a scarf out of him cause there isn't a multi stat scarf or something like that. idk.
Watering your berries seems to increase the number of berries produced as well as reduce time to grow. Iv gotten upwards of 8-9 berries from plants iv watered in less than 24 hrs. Some berries require multiple days or waterings.
Yep can confirm from my own experiencs, when I have forgotten to water berries the yield the minimal amount. The most I've got from watering is 7, but it also seems to be random
I now understand how to make the "Best Coffins", my Nuzlocke graveyard will be looky smooth and spicy. For real though, great guide, the work you put into it shows, and it's very informative. I'll stop using 4 of the same berry now, the charcoal poffins weren't going over well.
It actually does show when you water a plant, because the dirt will be slightly darker! ...but it's such a slight difference that it's super hard to notice.
This brings back so many memories when I'd just feed my Pokemon every Poffin flavor I could get my elementary schooler hands on back in the day 😂 Those were good times 😄
Oh yes, best coffins If you don't get it go to the very start when he is telling you what he is covering and the last one is a typo which says best coffins instead of poffins
I hate poffin making with joysticks, it’s basically asking to get drifting in few makings :( All switches have touch screen, why can’t we just make use of that functionality?

This is by FAR the best guide available online. I have checked TONS of other pages and they just point you to do the puffins in the house next to the Pokemon Fan Club, put 2 types of berries and done...

*NOTE: If you ever want to evolve Feebas to Milotic, use Razz & Chesto berries. These give Dry poffins, which will increase the beauty stat. I suggest making around 15 of them with only lvl 16 or higher. With this in mind, try also to use your joy-cons seperately (this works if you are in the Poffin screen, I've done this myself) to rotate and get a better result. Practice gives results. Good luck to all of you :)

The amount of work you put into this absolutely blows my mind. I wouldn’t have even made it through the calculations, much less cataloging and ranking every berry, before giving up and just guessing lol. I am 100% gonna have to come back to this video once I get more berries to cook with.
My friend was busy raising berries and he was telling me that after some testing, the max yield for berries is 16 but you would need to water it often to keep it "healthy"/"full".
I maxed out all context stats for my 5 iv shiny heracross! Woo hoo! Thanks so much for the tutorial! By far the hardest part was getting 5 other "cute" pokemon to max friendship. I got myself all the eeveelutions because I wanted to have all that time and effort go to useful pokemon.

I very much appreciate the fact that when I see that you've posted a video, I know that it's going to be informative and accurate. Way too many content creators out there just making vids that teach kids how to cheat/exploit/hack/whatever. Thanks Austin. I appreciate ya.
@@kereminde That's only wonder trade (and gts when it was in the games instead of home) though you do need two healthy Pokemon so you can't trade for an egg and white out.
@@Blue-fg8vt I... did not know this. I legit thought you needed to hatch the eggs. Thanks! (*goes to rant at friend for wasting six hours getting his D/P starters with their name*)
I feel like watering plants does not increase the speed of it growing but only the amount of berries you can get from the plant. The more you water it (with a set downtime) the more you're able to harvest.
I've been using this method and every single poffin I've made using the berry combinations you provided always had a smoothness of 8, but I usually average level 55. I think I got a level 62 once, but I'm not completely sure how! As for smoothness, what I did was I used the friendship checker to see if my whole party each had the 2 big hearts and verified it with the friendship lady at the ribbon fan club in Hearthrome. I put the friendship ribbon on all 6 of them. I doubt the ribbon has anything to do with lowering the smoothness, but even with a few burns I still somehow always got the 8 smoothness! I think the affection checker in the Poketch is key here. Now I'm struggling making high smoothness poffins just to fill the leftover sheen since they max just about halfway through it.
Powering through the coughin' to bring us info on the Poffin. Appreciate all your time and effort on these videos! Perfect timing too as I just got my Shiny Starter recently and am almost to Hearthome City.
This is amazing! In the old versions I always had trouble with getting the right stat and couldn't reset the sheen to fix it, but I never knew how complicated it was and that you can max all stats! Thanks for putting this together and sharing!
For those wondering about Berry growing itself I have a few tips! Watering your berry plants /as they are growing/ will increase berry yield. each berry tree has stages from seedling, growing, in bloom, full fruit etc. Each stage you keep the soil moist will add to the berry yield. Fertilizer will help speed up the time it takes for a berry tree to fully mature.
@@christianalvarado53 Hey Christian! I apologize for the misinformation - i remembered using it in the original Diamond and Pearl games but it looks like that was removed for BDSP. I think you can still get it and when I double checked Seribii there is language for it - but it would only be usable in Joto, not Hoen. Still, watering your berries during each 'growth' stage will increase berry yield. I typically use the patches located in/or directly next to towns :) have fun!
You can't believe how much your guide has helped. I wanted to make my shiny Delcatty win all of the contests but I had no idea how to make good poffins and did not want to mess it up. Thank you so much!
At 7:15 you should probably tell people they can use both analog sticks to make the batter spin faster if they don't wanna go really fast on just 1 stick
I was just now looking for exactly this. I had just finished noting the base flavor values for all the berries when I noticed bulbapedia mention mild poffins existed in bdsp. Looked up how to make those; eventually was brought to this video. Thank you for doing all those calculations so that I don’t have to XD
I was so excited to finally buy this game, because I'm obviously very, very late to the rerelease party here I managed to hatch a shiny cyndaquil within like 45 eggs? and... I butchered it because I forgot how poffins worked in the original game. Now I am on, egg 540... for my first redo shiny, and I gotta say, going forward, I'm going to be checking all my sources again on this, because I cannot do this again 🙃 Thank god for the players like you, who help all of the clueless like myself who spectacularly forgot how this process works. You never have to do these things, but, you do anyway. I'm so thankful for these guides
This is the video I've needed for weeks. Poffins were my curse and early on everything just said "use more berries." This is going to save me SO much more time... while I now spend all that time cooking.
Maybe just a tip the puffin cooking.. during phase 1 and 2 use 1 c stick and during the last phase with the blue lights use 2, really helps with the stress.(you don't need to turn them as fast)
Loved every bit of this video with a smile on my face, except the part where you were "toughing it out for the viewers". Take good care of yourself and rest plenty, Austin. Our pokemon can wait for the Battle Tower and Poffins.
Btw you can stir the poffin batter using both control sticks simultaneously. If you go extra fast on both you can finish really quickly. Also helps for direction changes.
You always make the best gaming content. I don't think I know of any other creator who doesn't do any clickbait, doesn't even take sponsors, and just puts out solid video after solid video that have no fluff and get right to the point. Really appreciate your stuff
Hey Austin, this was an amazing video; thank you for taking the time to test and calculate all this. Could you share your spreadsheet or make a second video using the optimal berries if rare berries are included? The reason I think this might help is one of my previous pro controller analog sticks started drifting after heavy usage so I don't wanna spin it too aggressively to get the high poffin levels if possible. It might also help with people who can trade/get rarer berries but don't have 6 high happiness+cute pokemon to use in amenity park. Thanks in advance.
I can help you out with that if you trust my maths (or rather the maths of the code I wrote a while back to calculate this). If you want to include the really rare berries and have as much time as you want while cooking, there are two variations to each recipe (marked by the /) and the recipes are as follows: *_Spicy-Sweet:_* Pomeg Berry, Qualot Berry, Occa/Shuca Berry, Liechi Berry for 53/48 Spicy, 48/53 Sweet *_Dry-Bitter:_* Kelpsy Berry, Hondew Berry, Passho/Coba Berry, Ganion Berry for 53/48 Dry, 48/53 Bitter *_Sweet:-Sour_* Qualot Berry, Grepa Berry, Wacan/Payapa Berry, Salac Berry for 53/48 Sweet, 48/53 Sour *_Bitter-Spicy:_* Pomeg Berry, Hondew Berry, Rindo/Chople Berry, Petaya Berry for 53/48 Bitter, 48/53 Spicy *_Sour-Dry:_* Kelpsy Berry, Grepa Berry, Yache/Kebia Berry, Apicot Berry for 53/48 Sour, 48/53 Dry *_Total:_* 2 Pomeg Berry, 2 Kelpsy Berry, 2 Qualot Berry, 2 Hondew Berry, 2 Grepa Berry, 1 Occa/Shuca Berry, 1 Passho/Coba Berry, 1 Wacan/Payapa Berry, 1 Rindo/Chople Berry, 1 Yache/Kebia Berry, 1 Liechi Berry, 1 Ganion Berry, 1 Salac Berry, 1 Petaya Berry, 1 Apicot Berry sorted by inventory space as best as I can The variation of each recipe you choose doesn't matter, all that matters is that you produce one of each taste combination. If you are using 6 Pokémon with max friendship and assuming that the smoothness would be halved by them, the smoothness of each poffin would be 11. Feed your Pokémon of choice 3 of each of the poffins you'll create and you'll have a sheen of 165 and easily max stats. Even if the smoothness would turn out as high as 17 this would still work, it only becomes difficult with higher smootheness.
@@mizuhonova yep, I did. The rare berries that would give the most stat points independent of smoothness are berries 60 (Enigma Berry) to 64 (Rowap Berry), however those have such high smoothness that they are inefficient. I mentioned that I wrote a program to calculate it. It goes through all possible combinations of berries and gives out the recipes with the highest value given the specifications, in this case, maximise all 5 stats, all berries, affection bonus on and highest efficiency. If highest efficiency is turned on, it divides the sum of the values you want to maximize (in this case all of them) by the smoothness to give you the points per smoothness ratio, which is then attempted to be maximised across all recipes. If efficiency were turned off it would simply return the sum and maximise that.
@@mizuhonova THERE WAS AN ERROR! The values calculated are all correct, but due to an error on my part some of the berries have been switched around in the recipes (I just tried them myself so I noticed). I corrected the recipes now and it works (produced a Lvl 60 dry-bitter poffin in 53s so the maths adds up and it has smootheness 18, all with a team of 6 who still have a lot of room to grow in terms of friendship).
You optimized for the easiest berries to come across, but there's a disadvantage to that: you had to feed your pokémon all the 20 poffins (5 recipes for 1 pokémon). I dived deep into the maths and came up with an optimized set of 5 recipes which will max out the traits for 2 pokémon (only 10 poffins for each) and you'll still have plenty of sheen left (8 out of 12). You'll need these 20 berries listed below and you'll use only 1 of each berry. Don't worry, there's plenty of margin for error and sub-optimal variations, that's the idea. But if you're going for optimal play, then: cook in Amity Square with 6 cute pokémon with max happiness. Cook like a pro. Each cook will give you 4 poffins; feed only 2 of them to a pokémon, that's how it will grant you to max out 2 pokémon. That's half the cooking, or double the pokémon, folks! Cook #1: Belue Berry Payapa Berry Qualot Berry Salac Berry Cook #2: Liechi Berry Occa Berry Pomeg Berry Watmel Berry Cook #3: Chople Berry Hondew Berry Petaya Berry Spelon Berry Cook #4: Coba Berry Durin Berry Ganlon Berry Kelpsy Berry Cook #5: Apicot Berry Grepa Berry Kebia Berry Pamtre Berry
I don't think a lot of people know about this but: USE BOTH OF YOUR JOYSTICKS!!! You have a lot more control and basically twice the speed for half the effort, they are cumulative!
Only works if you are able too make the same movement with both hands my right hand automatically moves the opposite direction and it's canceling the movement out
Btw you can use both joysticks on a Pro Controller for cooking if you don’t wanna ruin your joystick or your palm, and both motions will stack as spinning like it’s Mario Party.
Would you be willing to do a guide on the most effective way to max a pokemons affection? Edit: Also maybe a guide on the best seals/stickers for each contest?
he said it in the vid, use the berries that decrease a stat and increase affection. Hondew, Tamato, Qualot, Grepa, Pomeg, and Kelpsy are the berries that do that. if you dont want to do that method then IF you can catch them in a Lux ball do that and run around with them at the start of your party (if you dont want to catch them in a new ball then just do the run around part)
this was so incredibly helpful thank you so much. maxed out my arceus's contest stats even when i wasted 5 sheen stars from goofing off earlier, managed to clutch it out with the last poffin.
Had a strange, but lucky occurrence where a Pokemon that was walking with me as we stepped onto Spring Path (to go capture Giratina) ended up finding an Enigma Berry! The Pokemon didn't have the Pick Up ability and Enigma Berries are quite rare, so it was quite the surprise for a such a random pick up.
1 Like = 1 Less Foul Poffin you'll make!
I know this has nothing to do with the video, but I’m really glad I came across your shiny hunting with the Poké Radar guide.

I found out if you just use the chart and use berries above the 2nd marker the poffins will come out lvl 100 it’s worked with every poffin I’ve done

@@kereminde That's only wonder trade (and gts when it was in the games instead of home) though you do need two healthy Pokemon so you can't trade for an egg and white out.
@@Blue-fg8vt I... did not know this. I legit thought you needed to hatch the eggs. Thanks!
(*goes to rant at friend for wasting six hours getting his D/P starters with their name*)
I feel like watering plants does not increase the speed of it growing but only the amount of berries you can get from the plant. The more you water it (with a set downtime) the more you're able to harvest.
That would also align with numerous berrie-associated NPCs saying that you should 'take care' of the plants to get a better result.
I've been using this method and every single poffin I've made using the berry combinations you provided always had a smoothness of 8, but I usually average level 55. I think I got a level 62 once, but I'm not completely sure how!
As for smoothness, what I did was I used the friendship checker to see if my whole party each had the 2 big hearts and verified it with the friendship lady at the ribbon fan club in Hearthrome. I put the friendship ribbon on all 6 of them. I doubt the ribbon has anything to do with lowering the smoothness, but even with a few burns I still somehow always got the 8 smoothness! I think the affection checker in the Poketch is key here. Now I'm struggling making high smoothness poffins just to fill the leftover sheen since they max just about halfway through it.
YES!! I was waiting for exactly THIS because now I know, how to max out my beautiful shiny Dialga and win every contest with my D Boi, thank you!
Thanks for the guide. I got my roserade to all max stats with this!
Powering through the coughin' to bring us info on the Poffin.
Appreciate all your time and effort on these videos!
Perfect timing too as I just got my Shiny Starter recently and am almost to Hearthome City.
Lol, just as long as he isn’t coughin’ on the poffin🤣
This is amazing! In the old versions I always had trouble with getting the right stat and couldn't reset the sheen to fix it, but I never knew how complicated it was and that you can max all stats! Thanks for putting this together and sharing!
Your guides are the only ones I watch! They are so well made and easy to understand. Awesome job as always!!!
Perfect guide! I followed it for making poffins to max beauty for Feebas to evolve to Milotic. I did 2 cooks and really only needed 1 with your guide!
I waited and commented for awhile and Austin John did it, thank you for this great video on how to evolve Feebas :) love the videos!
Man I felt like a student in class taking notes and screenshots I had to like this tutorial! Good stuff Austin!

Ah Yes. The best coffins in Pokémon
0:45 Ah yes, I need to know how the make the best COFFINS.
For those wondering about Berry growing itself I have a few tips! Watering your berry plants /as they are growing/ will increase berry yield. each berry tree has stages from seedling, growing, in bloom, full fruit etc. Each stage you keep the soil moist will add to the berry yield. Fertilizer will help speed up the time it takes for a berry tree to fully mature.
Where do you get the fertilizer?
@@christianalvarado53 Nowhere. Fertilizer was in the original games. TheAmateurGamer just copied text from somewhere...
@@christianalvarado53 Hey Christian! I apologize for the misinformation - i remembered using it in the original Diamond and Pearl games but it looks like that was removed for BDSP. I think you can still get it and when I double checked Seribii there is language for it - but it would only be usable in Joto, not Hoen. Still, watering your berries during each 'growth' stage will increase berry yield. I typically use the patches located in/or directly next to towns :) have fun!
You can't believe how much your guide has helped. I wanted to make my shiny Delcatty win all of the contests but I had no idea how to make good poffins and did not want to mess it up. Thank you so much!
These videos you've been making make me really excited for Legend Arceus. Thank you so much for all the help!
aye yo, I didn’t know we could make coffins (0:43). 🤣🤣🤣🤣
0:41 The BEST coffins XD
Austin: *Explains Berry math*
Me: *Visible confusion*
For stirring, you can use both sticks to stir. Much more effective
At 7:15 you should probably tell people they can use both analog sticks to make the batter spin faster if they don't wanna go really fast on just 1 stick
Tip for folks to avoid foul poffins. Do not use more than 1 of the same berry per poffin
I was just now looking for exactly this. I had just finished noting the base flavor values for all the berries when I noticed bulbapedia mention mild poffins existed in bdsp. Looked up how to make those; eventually was brought to this video.
Thank you for doing all those calculations so that I don’t have to XD
Hi Austin, you wrote “Best Coffins” 0:42 on your list, I assume you meant “Best Poffins.” Thank you for the video!
My mans is sick, you know what he meant 😭💙
It's for the Pokemon that don't make it all the way through a Nuzlocke run.
It's also at the top of the screen at 13:15
It's for the future cofagrigus
you can use 2 joysticks for stirring. It doubles the input. Because seeing 17:02 really made me anxious about your controller's health
Great guide!! Thank you for gathering so much info into one spot for this.
THANK YOU AUSTIN. I've been waiting for a good comprehensive guide on poffin making
YES! I needed this video, I was failing so hard cooking them!
Ive been really needing a poffin guide! For some reason nobody really made one yet, so this is great, thanks Austin!
You're most welcome 💯
I carry a lot of Pachirisu for pickup utility, they could be used easily for this
0:40 ah yes, the best funeral arrangements by Austin... Thank you for this
This is great ty! Maybe one day you could make a video about the contest system :D
Also, at 0:44 it says "Best Coffins". But it's funny at least.
I was so excited to finally buy this game, because I'm obviously very, very late to the rerelease party here
I managed to hatch a shiny cyndaquil within like 45 eggs? and... I butchered it because I forgot how poffins worked in the original game.
Now I am on, egg 540... for my first redo shiny, and I gotta say, going forward, I'm going to be checking all my sources again on this, because I cannot do this again 🙃
Thank god for the players like you, who help all of the clueless like myself who spectacularly forgot how this process works. You never have to do these things, but, you do anyway. I'm so thankful for these guides
This is gonna be really useful for my ribbon master latias when home drops 😁
What gen did you catch your Latias in? If you've already gotten its contest stats maxed out on gen 6 or earlier, you might not need to do this.
This was so cool xD the ultimate guide on puffins
Thanks a lot 💯
Thanks for watching!! I've got something to introduce to you 📈 📉send a direct message✉️✉️
Tip: use the other stick to make it speed up enough to change the flow.
This is the video I've needed for weeks. Poffins were my curse and early on everything just said "use more berries." This is going to save me SO much more time... while I now spend all that time cooking.
Your content is great in general, but this is such an amazing video even to your standards!
By far the best poffin guide ever!
Thanks a lot Martins 💯
I've got something to Introduce to you. 👆👆👆 Send a direct message ✌️😊
Maybe just a tip the puffin cooking.. during phase 1 and 2 use 1 c stick and during the last phase with the blue lights use 2, really helps with the stress.(you don't need to turn them as fast)
Loved every bit of this video with a smile on my face, except the part where you were "toughing it out for the viewers". Take good care of yourself and rest plenty, Austin. Our pokemon can wait for the Battle Tower and Poffins.
Btw you can stir the poffin batter using both control sticks simultaneously. If you go extra fast on both you can finish really quickly. Also helps for direction changes.
When stirring poffins, use both sticks at the same time to go faster
Found?
You always make the best gaming content. I don't think I know of any other creator who doesn't do any clickbait, doesn't even take sponsors, and just puts out solid video after solid video that have no fluff and get right to the point. Really appreciate your stuff
Thanks a lot bro 💯

Always wondered how to make my own coffins
Hey Austin, this was an amazing video; thank you for taking the time to test and calculate all this. Could you share your spreadsheet or make a second video using the optimal berries if rare berries are included? The reason I think this might help is one of my previous pro controller analog sticks started drifting after heavy usage so I don't wanna spin it too aggressively to get the high poffin levels if possible. It might also help with people who can trade/get rarer berries but don't have 6 high happiness+cute pokemon to use in amenity park. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for your comments 📝 send me a direct message let's talk more about it 💯
I can help you out with that if you trust my maths (or rather the maths of the code I wrote a while back to calculate this). If you want to include the really rare berries and have as much time as you want while cooking, there are two variations to each recipe (marked by the /) and the recipes are as follows:
*_Spicy-Sweet:_* Pomeg Berry, Qualot Berry, Occa/Shuca Berry, Liechi Berry for 53/48 Spicy, 48/53 Sweet
*_Dry-Bitter:_* Kelpsy Berry, Hondew Berry, Passho/Coba Berry, Ganion Berry for 53/48 Dry, 48/53 Bitter
*_Sweet:-Sour_* Qualot Berry, Grepa Berry, Wacan/Payapa Berry, Salac Berry for 53/48 Sweet, 48/53 Sour
*_Bitter-Spicy:_* Pomeg Berry, Hondew Berry, Rindo/Chople Berry, Petaya Berry for 53/48 Bitter, 48/53 Spicy
*_Sour-Dry:_* Kelpsy Berry, Grepa Berry, Yache/Kebia Berry, Apicot Berry for 53/48 Sour, 48/53 Dry
*_Total:_* 2 Pomeg Berry, 2 Kelpsy Berry, 2 Qualot Berry, 2 Hondew Berry, 2 Grepa Berry, 1 Occa/Shuca Berry, 1 Passho/Coba Berry, 1 Wacan/Payapa Berry, 1 Rindo/Chople Berry, 1 Yache/Kebia Berry, 1 Liechi Berry, 1 Ganion Berry, 1 Salac Berry, 1 Petaya Berry, 1 Apicot Berry sorted by inventory space as best as I can
The variation of each recipe you choose doesn't matter, all that matters is that you produce one of each taste combination. If you are using 6 Pokémon with max friendship and assuming that the smoothness would be halved by them, the smoothness of each poffin would be 11. Feed your Pokémon of choice 3 of each of the poffins you'll create and you'll have a sheen of 165 and easily max stats. Even if the smoothness would turn out as high as 17 this would still work, it only becomes difficult with higher smootheness.
@@Buphido Thanks, Buphido! In your choice of berries, did you optimize by trait to smoothness ratio like Austin did?
@@mizuhonova yep, I did. The rare berries that would give the most stat points independent of smoothness are berries 60 (Enigma Berry) to 64 (Rowap Berry), however those have such high smoothness that they are inefficient.
I mentioned that I wrote a program to calculate it. It goes through all possible combinations of berries and gives out the recipes with the highest value given the specifications, in this case, maximise all 5 stats, all berries, affection bonus on and highest efficiency. If highest efficiency is turned on, it divides the sum of the values you want to maximize (in this case all of them) by the smoothness to give you the points per smoothness ratio, which is then attempted to be maximised across all recipes. If efficiency were turned off it would simply return the sum and maximise that.
@@mizuhonova THERE WAS AN ERROR!
The values calculated are all correct, but due to an error on my part some of the berries have been switched around in the recipes (I just tried them myself so I noticed). I corrected the recipes now and it works (produced a Lvl 60 dry-bitter poffin in 53s so the maths adds up and it has smootheness 18, all with a team of 6 who still have a lot of room to grow in terms of friendship).
You optimized for the easiest berries to come across, but there's a disadvantage to that: you had to feed your pokémon all the 20 poffins (5 recipes for 1 pokémon).
I dived deep into the maths and came up with an optimized set of 5 recipes which will max out the traits for 2 pokémon (only 10 poffins for each) and you'll still have plenty of sheen left (8 out of 12). You'll need these 20 berries listed below and you'll use only 1 of each berry.
Don't worry, there's plenty of margin for error and sub-optimal variations, that's the idea. But if you're going for optimal play, then: cook in Amity Square with 6 cute pokémon with max happiness. Cook like a pro. Each cook will give you 4 poffins; feed only 2 of them to a pokémon, that's how it will grant you to max out 2 pokémon. That's half the cooking, or double the pokémon, folks!
Cook #1:
Belue Berry
Payapa Berry
Qualot Berry
Salac Berry
Cook #2:
Liechi Berry
Occa Berry
Pomeg Berry
Watmel Berry
Cook #3:
Chople Berry
Hondew Berry
Petaya Berry
Spelon Berry
Cook #4:
Coba Berry
Durin Berry
Ganlon Berry
Kelpsy Berry
Cook #5:
Apicot Berry
Grepa Berry
Kebia Berry
Pamtre Berry
I don't think a lot of people know about this but: USE BOTH OF YOUR JOYSTICKS!!!
You have a lot more control and basically twice the speed for half the effort, they are cumulative!
Only works if you are able too make the same movement with both hands my right hand automatically moves the opposite direction and it's canceling the movement out
@@selfefan1 ahahah what
Btw you can use both joysticks on a Pro Controller for cooking if you don’t wanna ruin your joystick or your palm, and both motions will stack as spinning like it’s Mario Party.
Suggestion: spinning both sticks also makes it go faster. It's a much easier way to go fast.
Thx thos helpen me out allot!!
13:09 "Best Coffins"
Would you be willing to do a guide on the most effective way to max a pokemons affection?
Edit: Also maybe a guide on the best seals/stickers for each contest?
he said it in the vid, use the berries that decrease a stat and increase affection. Hondew, Tamato, Qualot, Grepa, Pomeg, and Kelpsy are the berries that do that. if you dont want to do that method then IF you can catch them in a Lux ball do that and run around with them at the start of your party (if you dont want to catch them in a new ball then just do the run around part)
This was al very confusing in game I'm happy you made a video about it! Thanks dude
Who would have guessed there's so many numbers behind infinitely spinning some colorful fruits...
I might look back on this when using my Eevee evolution team run in Brilliant Diamond if i ever try to do contests.
I let my character water one tree by itself for a long time; I ended up with 4 berries on the tree just so you all know!
I got 15 4x on some berries 😅 rather surprised. Ended up having an overflow of berries. Now can use to get certain items or do poffin making lol
This video was terrific. Thorough but with no wasted time. Super helpful, and the comments were insightful too!
Be honest, most of us are just here for Milotic, right?
Ribbon master
How did you know lol 😂

This guy always comes in clutch when it comes to guides! 💪🏾 Thanks Austin!
First
Congrats you win all the shinies
that's funny, i would describe my cold right now as an UnsoughtDrip as well. btw my cold was first, but your comment was first on this video!
this was so incredibly helpful thank you so much. maxed out my arceus's contest stats even when i wasted 5 sheen stars from goofing off earlier, managed to clutch it out with the last poffin.
Bro I burn 8 time try 3 times all burn 8 times F I hate this game
Water doesn't speed it up but it does increase it's yield. I've gotten up to 10 Berries (without Mulch) just by watering it consistently.
congrats to everyone who is early that found this comment!!
Yayyyyyyyyy
Ok
Had a strange, but lucky occurrence where a Pokemon that was walking with me as we stepped onto Spring Path (to go capture Giratina) ended up finding an Enigma Berry! The Pokemon didn't have the Pick Up ability and Enigma Berries are quite rare, so it was quite the surprise for a such a random pick up.
