(Crossposted to Pokemon Sleep Rate My Mon subthread, post got a bit lost in the sea of posts in that thread so thought I’d try asking here as well!)

I’m hoping to draw on your expertise for which one of these I should use as my primary healer. Am about 1.5 months in and think these are my two best candidates for a good healer so far.

Considerations:

\- The Pawmi has triple skill trigger and HSS in the correct slots (can use subskill seed to get it to HSM), but doesn’t have HB. Does the lack of HB outweigh the positive qualities?

\- The Eevee if evolved to Sylveon does have HB and HSM plus skill up nature, SLUS could be subskill seeded up to SLUM. However, it has no extra speed skills. Alternatively it could be an Espeon, but I understand a top Espeon would have more speed and BFS. Given it’s a more common mon I could wait longer to try and get a perfect build for Sylveon, but is it really worth it if I already have a ‘good enough’ Pawmi?

Current goals:

\- Get the best E4E mon I can to carry a team over the medium-long term until I unlock Lapis to hunt a good Ralts

\- focus on ING strat over Berries at the moment (but that’s more because of not having found Berry specialists with BFS + good Speed up in first 3 slots yet - this could change if I get lucky with a good Treecko).

Advice from Pokemon Sleep was that the Sylveon would be best and a lifetime use, no need for a Ralts/Gardevoir hunt, and the Pawmi could still have a niche use for OGPP and Raikou team. 

Following that advice, I tried comparing both in RaenonX at max level and evolution and assuming subskill seeds are used on each (Pawmot to HSM and Sylveon to SLUM) and the calculation looks like it favours the Pawmot. It looks like they would come out equal on number of procs. But I’m not sure how RaenonX weights HB and it may have underestimated its value?

Keen to crowdsource opinions - I always welcome other perspectives to get a well rounded view 🙂 Plus I’m still relatively new to RaenonX analysis so I may have interpreted incorrectly or chosen incorrect settings - have included screenshot of my results for thoughts.

Thanks in advance!
