Not sure how popular this sort of thing is, but I've been recently playing around with Aprijuice a lot. I found that it's best if you get the mildness up to 255 through walking/cycling and leave at least 2 or 1 sip left in the batch. Then when you add more Apricorns to the batch the mildness isn't reset to 0. Also, it looks Black Apricorns increase flavor & decrease mildness, while White Apricorns decrease flavor but increase mildness.

Test: I had Stamina Juice that was Black in color; flavor - 100; mildness-255.
I added 2 Black Apricots and the flavor was still 100, but mildness had dropped to 248.

Test: (Reset) Stamina Juice that was Black in color; flavor - 100; mildness- 255. I added 2 White Apricorns and flavor dropped to 80, but the mildness was still 255.

I have not tested wither of these batches on Pkmn to see the effect yet.

♥ | Cool. I'd love to know more about Aprijuice. The stuff kind of confuses me. stare | ♥

If anyone else is interested I'll continually post my findings here. I'm on this kick to get all the trophies in the Pokeathlon Dome, so playing around with Apricorns has been fun. Though it sucks when I run out. Haha. Good thing they're sold at the dome.

Thanks to Bartimus for the quick overview information about stat changes. There's more information here and here about Aprijuice and Apricorns in general from Bulbapedia.

♥ | I had to take a break from the Pokéathlon because it kept frustrating me. xd I'm going to do some research about this though!! If I figure out anything I'll mention it. | ♥

It can be frustrating at times. Granted I've only entered 32 times and placed last once (the first time I tried) beating the secret records is a bit challenging; which is what I'm aiming for.
PostPosted: Sun Jan 09, 2011 5:44 pm


♥ | I've entered 172 times and came in last place 10 times (1st place 128 times). I have thirty-two medalist pokémon. Both Potential and Collective trophies in all courses except the Jump Course. First place in all single events and Potential trophies in Hurdle Dash, Relay Run, Ring Drop, and Goal Roll. sweatdrop

Mainly the reason I became so frustrated with it was because of how darn close I would come to reaching a goal only to fail. The greatest example? You need five hundred points to get a Potential trophy in the Lamp Jump event. My high score? Four ninety-nine! 499! crying Complete torture! | ♥

I don't know if natures and IV's contribute to base states for the Pokeathlon, but with the batch I had previously mentioned (Stam. Flv-100 Mild-255) I gave some to my Meganium; Serious;Often Scatters. She was at max for speed, skill, stamina,jump and had 4 stars in power .None of which were bold stars. Giving her the Stam. batch dropped her down to 3 stars. I added 2 Red Apricorns to the existing batch which brought down the mildness to 248. It became Power juice and brought her to max 5 stars (bold).

♥ | That was actually what I was looking into: how nature affects performance. And yes, nature does contribute to a pokémon's base performance for the Pokéathlon (not sure about IVs, but according to bulbapedia a pokémon's stats [the ones used for battle] might contribute as well).

Here is a chart / list I made for how natures might affect performance:

If your pokémon's nature increases / decreases , it increases / decreases by + / - 2 (with the numbers representing the number of stars your pokémon will gain / lose).


Attack: Power
Defense: Stamina
Sp. Attack: Jump
Sp. Defense: Skill
Speed: Speed


For the "neutral" natures you just have to remember:

Docile: +1 Stamina, -1 Jump
Hardy: -1 Speed, +1 Power
Quirky: +1 Skill, -1 Stamina
Serious: +1 Speed, -1 Skill


This is only how much your base performance can fluctuate from the pokémon's base performance stats. It will not be this way all the time (apparently it can change on a daily basis), and it is largely dependent on the pokémon's species' base performance (the number of stars it would normally have).

Bold orange stars means that a pokémon's performance is currently above its species' base performance. Normal yellow stars means it is equal to its species' base. Small gray stars mean that is it below its species' base. For instance, Meganium's base performance is:

Speed: ★★ (2/2)
Power: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)
Skill: ★★★★★ (5/5)
Stamina: ★★★★★ (5/5)
Jump: ★★ (2/2)
Total: 17/19

Therefore, it can never be above its normal base in anything except power. Feeding it apri-juice is pointless unless it's Power Juice, or apri-juice that can bring up its performance from a negative effect of its nature. smile

Here is bulbapedia's page on Performance, which says a lot of what I just said. heart | ♥

Awesome information here <3
PostPosted: Mon Jan 10, 2011 6:55 pm


Thanks! After I posted I went around different places and found similar information.
I felt as though (if you're just aiming to get trophies) this information was helpful on which Pokemon were suited for which events and people could try and comprise teams that way or see where the Pokemon you want fall.

Pokeathlon/Events & Specialized areas.

Though I suppose it doesn't really matter, it's just helpful if you want to go about it that way. I know I personally just use my favorite types, haha.

So, in the case of Daemond (Feraligatr) his base stats are;

Speed: ★★★★
Power: ★★★★☆
Skill: ★★★☆
Stamina: ★★★☆
Jump: ★★

But with some messing around I've managed to get him to;

Nature: Sassy
Speed: ★★★★
Power: ★★★★★
Skill: ★★★★
Stamina: ★★★☆
Jump: ★★

So my focus is Stamina, though in the past there has been some fluctuation as to certain stats going up and down when I give him Stamina Juice.

Have we any clue as to what the arrows mean above a stat? His Skill is greater than normal, but has a blue arrow point down. Power >N with a red arrow pointing up.
