Hi! I'm not sure if it's a mobile-only issue, but I'd love it if I could click on a sold Pokemon's name to bring up the same stat page that I get when I click a Pokemon that's currently on sale 🙂 Because sometimes I completely forget why I priced a Mon the way I did. So it would be nice to see the Level/Gender/Nature/Stats at least, just to figure out wth I even sold. ie: I do see the Programming issue of having to store those details somewhere, because a live view of the Pokemon using its ID isn't guaranteed to reflect its state at the moment of sale (or that it even still exists if the buyer bred it right away). You could limit that data's storage time to 24h or so..

I really like this guide! The team is super solid, and even my first crappy run (on mobile, confused about some of the instructions and forgot to ability pill my Weezing) did it in 1h 25min 😄 I'm guessing the new shortcuts make Sinnoh a lot more viable than Hoenn now. Excited to see how this guide evolves! 🙂

Creativity is always good, but the point that makes me believe that this isn't really viable is the fact that every ditto encounter takes 5 turns instead of 3. That's just too long. In the long term, you'll spend less time (and mental energy) if you just set up one proper ditter farming mon that snowballs into enough money to set up better ones. Your price estimates aren't particularly representative imo. Sure, you could spend 100k+ on a perfect Vaporeon, or you could breed a decent one yourself for less than 20k. Here, watch me do it with whatever is on the market rn, no crazy snipes or luck required: I didn't roll particularly well on it, it still does up to 85 damage to a Hoenn Ditto at lvl 100 (the perfect Vaporeon would do 87), but that's literally a 2.3% difference and won't really affect catch rate. I've taken him along on my EV run, sending him your way shortly 😜

Made an account here just to tell you this is a cool build! The EV spread you suggested works great, even though I got impatient and only leveled my Vaporeon to like 85 before starting to farm Dittos in the Hoenn Cave. The catch rate with the net balls is still good enough even in yellow hp ^^ I've also been experimenting with different EV builds and IV spreads. I don't think any other nature than Lonely is viable, but there seems to be quite a bit of wiggle room with the stats. Specifically, I've bred a Vaporeon with your suggested 31 atk IV / 0 def IV, but statted it with 252 atk EVs / 32 def EVs. Logic behind that is just that I'd like to have as much payday damage as possible against everything that isn't a Ditto. Doesn't make a difference in the Ditto Cave, but if I ever decide to Payday farm somewhere else I'd be covered 🙂 I've also produced one that is 27 atk IV / 1 def IV. It's trained to 252 atk EV / 20 def EV. I haven't tried farming with it yet since it's only lvl 50 so far, but according to the calculator it should work exactly the same as the 31/0 ones. Its biggest advantage is how extremely cheap the breed was. 8k for a 26 atk IV / 3 def IV female Eevee, 3k for a 28 atk IV / 1 def male Lonely Poochyena (it learns Yawn at lvl 31) and one Everstone. I'll report back with how well it worked ^^ But technically, the calculator makes it seem that values as low as 19 atk / 0 def and as high as 31 atk / 8 def should be usable.
