I think the issue with pickup is that Ame tripled the value of Rare Candies and put them in the Obsidia candy shop. If you want to nerf Pickup (which i don't), then I'd say remove the Rare Candies from the candy shop, and drop the price back down to normal (or even less), and that should do it.
Unless you're not talking about money and that Hyper pots are too easy, in which case I would agree.
