As it stands, there is clearly one potion that everyone should be buying steadily with their easy tokens and that is sole the Potion of Fleetness. Why do I say this, because out of the five potions in that section the potion of fleetness gives out 1-2 stat points, while the others give out 0-3 stat points. Clearly, there is an issue here because with always guaranteed a stat point, one shouldn't even bother buying any of the other potions. Which I have confirmed with staff and this is not a glitch and does indeed give out a steady stat point. I addressed this issue and was directed to post this suggestion/feedback here

  1. Either the Potion of Fleetness should be changed to reflect the other potions giving out 0-3 stat points

or

  1. Every potion in the the easy section should give out 1-2 stat points.

Thoughts?

Since this is an actual suggestion on a change, I am going to move this to suggestions,

My thoughts on this though... I think this actually averages out to about the same since you will get about as many 0s or 3s. So if you get one of each, that is 6 pts in 4 potions, With the potion of fleetness on average, you'd get the same pts in 4 potions.

I honestly don't think it needs to be changed.

Also older battlers, wasn't there a time where speed wasn't a stat and all old pets started at 0? Or is that the Mandela Effect?

I don’t support this change. Having a guaranteed 1-2 stats and a random 0-3 stats will average out to be same 1.5 stats either way, just as pointed out. I would be more interested in seeing it converted to 0-3 so it matches up with the other potions.

Endurance Potions are still the best bargain because health almost always costs more than the other stats and high health has shown to be beneficial in battling.

This seems like an unnecessary change. Even if the stats were different (and they aren't) so what if they were?

I have high speed pets, and Critical Hits/Resistance to Curses only takes you so far. The other stats are necessary.

Nope, Speed did indeed not exist until later in the game :) I think all pets started at 10 and not 0, but yeah, Speed was not always a thing.

There is a reason for that.

It wasn't randomly chosen to have fleetness be different, and it's because fleetness didn't exist and had less boosters. So, to raise it quickly, you had less options, which is why the Potion of Fleetness is much safer than the rest - they already had other boosters, while Potion of Fleetness...didn't have much in the way of boosters.

Like Destiny, Speed was introduced much later than other stats. We're talking - several years.

It's also seen as the least worthwhile stat to raise, so to encourage people actually raising it, the booster was less risky compared to the health/att/def boosters.

Thank you for confirming that I am not going crazy xD I thought that was the case that it at least came later. That solidifies my opinion that it should stay.

I'm fine with either of the two proposals, and if it doesn't get implemented the average is still the same.

The thing matters more is: Why are they still no level leeches in the battle shop yet?! (If it's because of the missing art, someone draw them a picture please)

PFFFFTTT! Is anyone actually trying to boost speed? Is this even a thing? o.o I believe when speed became a thing that all pets were automatically given (strength + defense)/2 for a speed stat. So yay free stats to the old timers!

The suggestion really doesn't change anything. Still an average +1.5 either way. Unless the rest of the potions are actually 0,0,1,2,3 (which I have kinda suspected at times since whenever I did 100+ runs of them, I was always slightly under the EV.)
