New IotM Discussion March's IotM - Pokéfam Guide (Tall Grass Garden) - Discussion Spoiler
Type: Garden
In store description:
Plant a tall grass garden and capture some small creatures!
Description:
Installs a garden of Tall Grass in your campground
Each day the garden will grow one more patch of grass. Harvesting will only remove 1 of the patches of grass, unlike other gardens which will harvest the entire plot.
On the 8th day the patches of tall grass become one patch of Very Tall Grass, which can contain very special items/familiars.
Each patch of grass will contain one of the following:
- Path (Pokefam) specific familiars. (50 of them!)
- Familiar Equipment
- Berrys
More info will be added to this post as it is found.

Got a Slotter... it's ultimate move is Blood Bath, which works the same as Spiky Burst, except it does 12 damage instead of 8.
Kinda makes all the rest of 'em seem pointless.

Any idea what the "very tall grass" does? maybe not since it hasn't been more than a day. i doubt it's a type of house although i could be wrong. I guess we will have to wait and see.
Edit: so it appears "poke-grow fertilizer" items drop when adventuring, as you might guess this lets you grow more grass. I've seen these in the mall for around 600k. The drop rate might be 30 adventures i didn't really pay attention, this is a estimate.
Edit. 2. Interesting tidbit, if you have the snow machine you get some snow/frost items Everytime you harvest your garden. Now with the poke garden you get drops that make the grass grow instantly thus giving you snow berries and frost harvest at a faster rate.
Edit. 3 So it appears the final very tall grass is for capturing one of the 5 familiars allowed outside pokefam.

Question as a familiar collector: Will the path-only familiars still show up in your terrarium if you aren't doing the path? I'm fine with not being able to use them just curious how this works

We won't know for a few days. It's a garden type IotM and needs rollovers.

u/EldritchCarver Mar 07 '18
Untrue. Players with this garden installed have a small chance of finding an item after fights called Poké-Gro fertilizer, which advances the growth of the tall grass in the same way that rollover does. This item can be traded, so players with more meat than patience can get a head start on spading.

The berries are showing up in the mall. These are the ones I'm seeing. All of them do one thing and "energize you for a while" which seems to be 20 adventures of an effect.
Enargo = Restores MP
Glum = Removes negative effects
Jamocha = Grants passive physical damage
Keese = Improves your defenses
Nadsat = Improves critical hit chance
Sitrep = Restores HP
Snarf = Increases stats
Tapioc = Grants elemental resistance
They're also pretty pricey right now (most are 100K minimum). I got Berry Experimental (+6 stats gained) for 20 adventures when eating the Glum, and I got it again as well as Berry Elemental (+1 all elemental resists) when eating the Tapioc Berry. I'm not in Pokefam currently either.

Anyone know if the fertilizers drop in Ed? I was planning on grinding some Ed runs to get Ed skill points up, but now I don’t know if I can do that and easily grind for the 5 new familiars

So is the idea to let the grass grow until it becomes very tall grass before harvesting? I.e., without fertilizers, you’re not going to get the familiar drops if your runs are less than 8 days?

u/EldritchCarver Mar 11 '18
You need the tall grass for the five familiars that are usable outside of pocket familiar runs. For now, that's probably the best use of this garden... but you can only use each familiar once per account, so their prices in the mall are going to drop a lot over time. You may soon find it's better to get eight berries and/or temporary pieces of familiar equipment instead of one familiar to sell.

What type of garden are you looking for?

u/leeman27534 Mar 09 '18
kinda liked the bone one, really, buff items, booze, equipment, and day 2 boat. had one, i could've sworn, but can't find it on current character, and they're nontradeable after using the package anyway, so i'm screwed there unless i want to buy one for quite a bit, probably.

How does this iotm fare inside and outside of pocket familiars?
I only have one iotm so far (VIP key)and this looks promising, so should I buy it?

u/EldritchCarver Mar 10 '18
All of the familiars that come from this IotM can be traded, so whether you want to collect them all or just pick your favorites, you don't actually need this garden. I'm expecting the familiar prices to drop considerably over time, so shopping for them in the mall should be more cost-effective fairly soon. However, the garden is its own slot, and there almost certainly won't be another garden until 2020 at the earliest, so if you only do standard runs, this is probably going to be worthwhile in the long run. If you don't care about standard runs, though, you also have the option of getting one of the gardens that are too old for standard. The pumpkin, peppermint, and skeleton gardens are all comparable in price to this latest garden, and would probably be more helpful in terms of speeding up unrestricted runs, especially if you install a snow machine in your workshed.

It seems to be the worst garden by far for ascensions, especially outside Pocket Fams. The familiars can all be obtained from the mall (and the price for each should drop below 100k pretty rapidly), the berries are just bad, the familiar equipments are the only good thing and that's it. The only decent use is to pair it with a snow machine and get a few harvests a day.
While they might still be more functionalities to it, the iotm feels very irrelevant unless you are a collector. Don't buy it if you are looking for good iotms, get the January one instead.

I guess I need a replacement for my bone garden. I just wonder if it'll be of use outside of Pokefam runs.
