Pink Poogle Toy Forum

Yeah, lab is good But if TNT even hint at retiring it, there'll be hell to pay, with flaming asparagus and toxic pitchforks.

i remember adopting a pet waaaaaaaay long time ago when the map used to cost only about 200k. that pet had -1 hp, 3 str, 6 def, 19 speed, and level 1

the rarest i got was a snow poogle, but other than that, the best ive gotten was striped, which eventually turned into a kyrii... the best way to use the lab is if you dont care much about your pets species and if they're past the highest str/def boost.

and if i try to get my jetsam robot, ill just get a green skeith in the end...

i think lab map is a wonderful thing *if it wasn't so expensive* i've gotten lots of rare colors including, robot, faiere, darigan, ghost, gold, silver, maraquan, and also the restricted species like jetsams and cybunnies

but never, ever has any of my pets turned into a poogle or a msp so good luck to you, as i think thats gotta be one of the hardest things to get from it

and i have a pet which has level 1 and hp 130 so the lab ray can be also very very evil.. esp since every other stat except level and strength is above 30, but strength is now like 12 *gives ray evil look* oh well

I too kept a log of my lab exploits, stopping once I got to a cool (imho) robot pet:
http://www.neopets.com/~Khyren

As summary:
Level, +2 :: Strength, +52 :: Defense, +17 :: Speed, +61 :: HP, +95 :: Int, +4 :: 17 non-standard colors (Electric, Split, Spotted, Rainbow, Faerie, etc) but nothing uber-special like Jelly or Darigan.

(though one of my other zapping pets did get Jelly and Ghost, just not Khyren)

AND don't forget lots of sex changes. I've gotten it all week. My poor pet has no clue if it male or female right now.

Just rember about the lab, be open for change. DO NOT lab a pet if you arn't willing to change that pet in any way. Otherwise, have fun and good luck!

If you bought the lab map for a specific color, then you are going to be disappointed. Especially if that pet has a lot of colors like the Chia or Aisha. I have been using my lab to try and get an orange grundo. I've had almost every grundo color except orange, and I've been zapping since july. (I did get a grey grundo though Good, but I like the orange avatar better )

Also, a small note, the lab ray never takes away HP. Never, ever, ever. It just... doesn't.

I know me too! I got the Werelupe and Grey avatar relityly fast but the orange one...well it isn't being very nice

I am going to have to disagree with that. I wouldn't advise training your pet whilst using the lab ray because you are going to waste a lot of money. Level and defense can quite commonly be lowered, and they can be lowered in dosed of 3 aswell. If you train your pet while using the lab ray, be prepared to train stats only to have them wiped down a few points by the ray. In my opinion, it is a bad idea.

On the positives of the lab ray, I have had gold, faeire, silver, (currently) darigan and a host of other interesting colors/species and thats pretty cool.

My pet faithhopechairity2 has been labbed since the day she was born. I've got every species of pet, and just about every color except MSPP, glowing, snow, shadow and baby. I specifically created a pet to lab though. The only training she's had is on her pet day, and well... those can come up quite often if she changes species at the right time!

Well that really depends on how much you're planning on labbing the pet. I mean, you have to have deep pockets if you're planning on training and labbing, but it can work out for the best. IF you lab your pet for a year, you'll end up with 1-15 levels, 200+ HP, 50+ Strength and low defence. Which wil lmean that you'll have to train up to level 100, before being able to train up your strength and defence. Which will mean that you'll be paying a LOT of codestones for your defence.

I dunno, it's a matter of opinion. I don't lab my pets for their stats as such, more for the fun, and possibility of getting a cool colour.

Well, I just stopped labbing one of my pets yesterday: in 7 months of labbing, I went from:

Level: 40
Str: 80
Def: 80
Mov: 19
HP: 78

Level: 20
Str: 99
Def: 81
Mov: 47
HP: 158

Now I've stopped to keep from going to the next price bracket, training-wise.

I also got both my Darigan pets from my lab. So it's paid off for me.

About training while labbing: I didn't do it, but I don't think it's necessarily a waste of money. If I train 3 strength points into my pets one day and lose 3 points to the lab the next, I still have 3 strength points more than I would have if I hadn't trained.
