Feeding fruits to a low-IV Pal

The base roll is permanent. Fix the base Pal by breeding before you spend finite fruits on it.

Spreading fruits across every stat

One decisive stat beats four marginal ones. Pick the stat that decides the encounter.

Assuming fruits transfer through breeding

They do not. A bred child starts clean, so fruits are endgame investment on the Pal you keep.

Ignoring work speed Pals

Base throughput compounds over hours of play; a work-speed investment often out-earns a fifth attack fruit.
