"Porto Marianda's Auctions"

   I have been resetting the Auctions for quite awhile now (over 2500 at time of writing this) and wanted to share some of my observations and testing. The main items I and, I assume, many people want from this are the Apricorn and Dream Balls (sadly no Beast, Sport or Safari).    For those who don't know you can reset what is at the auction by simply closing and reopening the game. If you buy something close the game move the day forward and then reopen. It is worth noting that they also reset when a new in game day starts, which is every 72 minutes. For this reason it is, in my opinion, worth it to roll back the time so that you stay on the same in game day. This prevents a new day from occurring thus eliminating the chance something you will want will be rolled away on the new day. I usually start when it is daylight in game and once it becomes dusk I roll the clock back 35 minutes.    The opponents all have a maximum bid that scales with age and seems to change depending on the category of item. I didn't test this with many items though.    Now for my thoughts on each category of itemHealing items. These items are already cheap and generally don't have much use in this game to begin with. Especially post game.Regular Pokeballs. Pretty much the same as the healing items, just not worth it. The exception here is Premier Balls. These can be bought in large amounts and for insanely cheap.Sandwich Ingredients. The story repeats itself, nothing here worth grabbing.Feathers. These are interesting. I didn't really buy them as I have a lot from raids, but I could see them being useful to pick up.EV Reducing Berries. These are great. Very cheap (under 300 each even with the worst opponents) and are usually sold in high amounts.Vitamins. I personally don't think these are worth buying. However as long as you are buying a large amount of them and don't have the older people as an opponent you can get them for about a 5%-15% discount. I just don't think it's worth the time investment. The highest amount I've seen for sale is 30 and lowest is 3.Evolution Items. I think this is a good place to get these. Relatively quick and cheap.Bottle Caps. These are terrible, NEVER buy these from the auction.Special Balls. Alright here's the good stuff. These are extremely expensive so I hope you have millions to spend if you want a decent amount of them. They are also the rarest items only appearing about 1.5% of the time. Now these I know the exact maximum bid for each opponent. (Tho this seems to very a bit of they have dialogue before the bidding starts) Child - 200k Young Adult  - 220k Middle Aged  - 245k Older - 355kFinally for those interested in here is a link to the sheet I used to track all this fun stuff. There is of course some human error and sometimes my script messed up, but I think for most things the sample size is large enough for accurate results. https://ift.tt/grnGWO0 via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/W5Xowcj
