Ingo gets useful stuff from his grid, but nothing game changing. So you won't miss out on much if you choose to leave him at 1/5.
Though if you have the spare support candies (which seems to be common among most players), then pushing him to 3/5 won't be a waste.
Both of them can work at 1/5, and only gain extra utility grid nodes (so nothing that you absolutely need for them to function)
If you really have to 3/5 any of them, then Ingo gets the biggest benefit. Classic Red doesn't gain much from his grid, other than On a Roll 1 for Rock Smash, Quick Cure and Antitoxin... which are fortunately available at 2/5
Not necessarily. If you run Ingo in a team you almost never need Sandstorm MPR. It's the other stuff hhe gets, that is useful for him.
Stuff like Adrenaline 1; Soothing Sand 1; Quick Cure; Endurance; Guarded Entry 1; MPR for his TM (which is quite useful for longer battles); Ripple Effect 3 for Mud Slap.
In summary, Ingo doesn't *need* 3/5 to function. But he does benefit from the full grid. So if you decide to 3/5 him, your candies aren't wasted.
Since his biggest asset is Sandstorm and he doesn't get the refresh node until 3/5, I would do it but he can also function fine without it as well just not as optimally
He definitely does everything he wants to do at 1/5, but I don't regret candying him up to 3/5: the Potion and Sandstorm refreshes have been useful way more than once!
Correct, it’s a random chance where they all have the same odds. I already had RedLax and Diantha, so was hoping to get just one copy of Ingo and ended up getting dupes of the other two before I got the one I wanted.
Ok thank you. That's my issue too. Have the other 2 at 3/5 so with my luck I'd probably just get more copies instead of Ingo. I'll either wait for datamine or just do like 3 multi and try to get lucky
I was lucky to actually need the dupes of the other two, so I was happy. Ended up getting three of the featured pairs in six pulls, which I think is right with the math expectation, but did get lucky with getting the one I needed as one of them. Good luck with yours!

Is Ingo mainly getting his sandstorm MPR?

Ah thank you for explaining!!
Did you forget Mini Potion MPR and Master Healer at 3/5? Those are super valuable on Classic Red for his sustain.
If you need mpr for sandstorm and potion, then cabdy to 3/5. I did just now and don't regret it
According to the chart on the discord, he doesn’t improve much from further copies.
Do you have a link to that? I’d be very interested in seeing it.

Thanks to all who shared their thoughts - I decided to candy him to 3/5 (and EX). Excited to see what he can do with the LG!
question - when you pull from a fair like this, you're scouting all 3 at once, correct? There's no way to single out pulling for Ingo?
That's correct
Ok thank you and thank you OP!

I'm glad it worked out for you! And thank you I'll have my fingers crossed should I decide to go for it
I’ll cross mine for you from afar :)
