Recommended Pokemon and Skills for Main Skill Seed

Pokemon You Always Use

Pokemon Sleep - All Shiny Team

If you already have a solid team you use all the time, then it would be best to use your Main Skill Seed on one of the Pokemon in your team.

As long as your Pokemon does not have a Nature reducing Main Skill chance, any Pokemon you regularly use would greatly benefit from having their Main Skill leveled up.

How to Build the Best Helper Team

Legendary Pokemon

Johto Legendary Trio
Pokemon Sleep - RaikouRaikou Pokemon Sleep - EnteiEntei Pokemon Sleep - SuicuneSuicune

Since Legendary Pokemon cannot evolve, the only way to increase their main skills is to use a Main Skill Seed. They tend to have powerful main skills as well that can greatly benefit from being increased.
