Ability glasses kinda useless?

[Sharkbait]

Grinded to be able to obtain them. Sort of expected them to show wild pal's special abilities, making it easier to find pals with specific traits one would desire. Sadly it only shows some arbitrary number I don't really care about. Feels like a useless item to me.

yeah I kind of hoped they would let you see the passives. That way you could just move on and not waste your time.

Sounds like another handy ability to have.

As a long time IV hunter and breeder, having a quick way to see them is greatly appreciated though.

But having a way to see passives would be rad.

The ability glasses are a niche item that allows you to see a pal's base stats, which we had no ingame way to assess prior to the update.

If I had to choose between being able to see base stats (IVs) and being able to see passives, I would 100% go base stats. You can see at a glance what passives a new capture/breed has from the popup. Without the glasses, you have to go out of game and use what are now outdated IV calculator tools to get a general estimate of your pal's base stats.

I mean for people who are trying to maximize and are good with numbers it might have some uses. Personally I was under the impression that the glasses would be showing passives (perhaps everything,) and Im mostly looking for passives than stats, as Im playing solo and don't care too much for the stats. It just felt like a huge let down for me.

Suggest it for an upgraded version of the base glasses.
