I’d love a Golden Pinap that triples candy and doubles catch rate (so Golden Razz + Better Pinap)

I have yet to use a silver berry because I’m not sure what it will do.

If the game allowed us to stack berries, not only would it be easier to understand but also to manage/control the desired outcome. One pineap doubles candy, two triples it, three quadruples it, etc. It would provide a built-in mechanism to diminish returns (fifteen pineaps would only multiply by sixteen, so each extra would have slightly less impact than the last; while if you doubled for each, it would be powers of 2, and exponential growth is HUGE). So two pineaps a nanab, and three razzes would allow a little bit of stillness, a lot of extra candy, and a whole bunch of extra capture rate.
Kind of like the way we can use both a star piece AND a lucky egg at the same time… why shouldn’t both a razz and a nanab be permitted?
Admittedly this would blur the distinction between razzes and different grades of ball, as a great ball is supposed to have higher capture rate than a regular one, and an ultra ball still more than the others. But that blurring already exists to some extent between berries and balls.
So three golden razzies, 82 Pinaps and I have a maxed out legendary

Sounds great to me!
Ok, so the idea probably needs some arbitrary limits to be reasonable. Even if it were limited to one of each berry type it could be rather flexible and quite practical.

There’s a new quest that gives you 3 Silver Pinap berries for powering up Pokemon 10 times.

Just did this too
Right now there’s a quest which gives you 5 Silver Pinap for spinning 10 Stops or Gyms. Get a stack of these quests and do them all at once and swim in the berries.

It took me so long to complete the hatch 5 eggs for 3 rate candies. Worth it tho! … kinda
Here’s my thinking:
While a Master Ball would be amazing–not to mention there’s an unused asset for it in the codes–it’s use in the game is not that practical since it diminishes the challenge of catching Legendaries. NOW, I do think they should instead use it in the Mythical encounters like in Mew or Celebi from the Special Research quest. It would make it a little more special and on top of that, it would get rid of this weird 3 balls to catch thing.
A Golden/Silver Nanab Berry would be sweet because it would potentially be more useful in Raid Bosses because I can see it being used to calm the beast down and give it a catch boost, probably to the degree of the Silver Pinap berry. It would make Nanab Berries more useful.
I spoke of this in another thread, but introducing the Bottle Cap or Golden Bottle Cap would be sweet. Still have the limitation of using it at maxed out Pokemon, which would encourage more strategy in leveling up Pokemon. It would have to be very rare though.
Introducing more balls would be pretty sweet too. The Quick Ball that only works on the very first throw would be amazing. It would make the Nanab Berry more significant. Having a festive Safari Ball at special events like GO Fest would be pretty sweet. Net Balls for the yearly Water Festival would be cool as well. There is a Dusk Ball as well, but hunting Pokemon at night can be perilous, so I’d rather not encourage that.
Those are my thoughts.

Using Master Ball on mythicals would require either a scripted throw or unlimited Master Balls
I dont see whats the problem with its standard use
Nanabs would still be completely inferior to golden Razz
You wouldn’t use them, that’s fair. Doesn’t mean others wouldn’t.
I can see why many people would want to calm the Pokemon down WHILE increasing the catch rate. Some Pokemon, Heatran right now is an excellent example, move around so much that they want to keep it still but also want to increase the catch rate.

There is no reason to calm them down when it means lowering the ctachrate
If anything, this would discourage people from learning how to throw pokeballs properly while not offering as high catchrate
And whats the problem with Master Ball?
Wow. Nice ideas on the balls.
I guess nanab berry WOULD be better with quick ball , but still, lets face it, wouldn’t you rather just dump them into gyms?
I do think that it is one of the ways to fix the berry however.
Next, the net ball.
That would be great for us AND niantic.
We could have them be only in the game from gifts, like 5 %, and stops a little bit more common, and on a sale in the shop, from boxes and like a 20 net ball for 80 coin sale.
A event ball would be nice.
Anything that encourages events is good for niantic.
That’s it for today. Cya

Who said anything about lowering the catch rate? I’m talking about boosting the catch rate. It would allow them to practice their Curveballs while not robbing themselves of boosted chance of a catch due to their unfamiliarity of the Pokemon. You might want to stop using your own preconceptions of play and expect that’s how everyone else plays, because that’s how it’s coming across. It’s very presumptuous, on top of factually incorrect.
