/shuffle/ General - Ded Week edition

>>26274639
First for not as shit OP :^)

>>26274711
I didn't fuck anything up, did I?

>Bellossom event in the week SM were confirmed to be based on Hawaii
Fuck, we should have known what the leaks would be since we got the update pastebin two weeks ago.

>>26274730
Yes, you did. You didn't include Mew in the events.

>>26275015
fuck

>>26275015
Previous OPs had the wrong end date. So yeah:

>>26274639
Mew 4/26 - 5/17

>>26274639
Also, last non-shit thread was >>26136482

Any issues with Shuffle on a hacked and Downgraded 3DS?

>>26277260
No because I'm not a filthy supremefag

Is there any reason to not use shuffle move on the competitions now? Seems weird that they would just give up on that.

>>26277524
What do you mean? The Swampert one has the fast match bonuses.

Shufflemove just gets you more points than matching fast like a madman

>>26277752
I'm guessing you're on mobile?
Is this the first run of Swampert on mobile?

>>26277990

How's everyone doing M-Swampert? I'm at rank 1671 mobile

>>26276555
Move D4 to B6 and go nuts.

>>26278221
I did it with Charizard, Lugia (for Eject+), Oddish, and another SE. You can get rid of most of the starting screen in a couple of moves.

What is the best team to beat Mega Mewtwo X?

>>26279377
git gud

>>26280746
>git gud
>in a pay2win game

Yeah, no. My mom is poor and cant give me money to catch fucking pokemon.

So what's for next week in mobile?

>>26281109
I'm pretty sure we don't know yet. We're in the 3rd week of no data update so there will be one next week.

>>26281449
Aren't data dumps supposed to be every 2 weeks?

>>26281491
Yes but all of Japan was on holiday last week.

>>26281834
That's why we got daily gifts, so it's ok.

Best strategy for that fucking Roserade?

>>26285317
Spending 15k buying all items is the only way anon, a Sky Blast team with Lugia and Mega Fug is probably the best one right now, back then we didn't have that shit so I went with Mega Heracross and some other shit I don't remember
You're gonna want to beat, S-Rank and catch Roserade in a single run never to return to what's by far the worst stage in the game ever again, so go with enough money to throw in some Great Balls as well if the little fag escapes
I'm still yet to S-Rank and catch that piece of shit and I've no plans of retrying the stage anytime soon, so you might want to get it over with a single heart, even if it costs you 20k+ it'll be definitely worth it

>>26285449
>Mega Fug
I haven't even beaten the stage yet, anon. Been stuck there for ages.

>>26277260
Yes, it's still Shuffle.

>>26285481
Megafug is also an item dump. If you can't beat it before DD goes off you're basically fucked.

>>26285508
No, I meant I haven't beaten Roserade

>>26285527
Similar deal for Roserade at any rate. Reshiram is a cool new toy that may be useful we didn't have back then. Heracross is probably the best mega choice. Otherwise, pray you win before DD goes off.

>>26285481
>>26285527
Yeah, I went full retarded there, but Mega Gengar should do more than fine on Roserade as well, I'm actually more fond of him than Fug when it comes to combos
Bringing Mega Blaziken, Charizard for Burn and obviously Delphox for Pyre should also be enough to fuck Roserade up, for whatever reason Pyre is the only ability out of the "Increases damage in a combo from X-type Pokemon" that has a 100% chance of activating on matches of 4, so Pyre is definitely more reliable than Sky Blast
The reason I recomended Sky Blast was because of Lugia's Eject+, I believe there are some specific moves you can do to get rid of the Budews and Roselias so you might not actually need an Pokemon with Eject

>>26285691
Gonna try that, thanks.

>>26285728
And of course make sure to grind any Pokemon you might plan on bringing to the stage to Lvl 10 in case they're not already, that stage is just fucking unforgiving

>just failed two 94% great balls on pinsir

i fucking hate this shit game

Why does Cacturne have to be such a shitty stage? Hardly beatable itemless and then you only get 10% + 2% catch rate.

Already got the S-rank but don't want to buy items just for the chance to catch it.

New starters on shuffle when?

>>26287078
I'm having similar problems trying to catch the new main stages pokemon after having already S ranked them.I decided that if it takes me more than ten hearts I will just use a great ball.
So far I already used five, but I'm only missing Gorebyss and Magmar.
The catchrates of the new main stages should have been a little more generous considering they are all shitmons

>>26287455
When we get our 4 icon safari with 5x 1% pokemon that do not share a type in common :^)

>>26289044
>5x 1%
Why does no one here understand probability?

>>26289212
what you mean?

>>26289044
And every try costs mobile players 500 coins.

>>26289413
+100 coins for every pokemon over lv2 you use :^)

>>26289481
+1 heart per Pokemon on your team

>>26278222

Rank 10 on 3DS here

>>26276555

Try and activate paralyze, and use a mega that clears icons, Blaziken is useless here. Abomasnow or Char-Y are probably your best bets.

>>26285691

Mega Gengar *is* better than Fug for combos on a single turn basis, but the problem is, you can activate Fug three or four turns in a row for >20 combo every single time, but Gengar often gets to about 40, then you have to wait till Gengar comes back to the board enough to make it worth activating again, which can take up to 4 turns depending on RNG/disruptions.

Holy fuck, is Lucario a useless piece of shit, is he glitched or something? Fucking faggot triggers his ability about 0.000001% of the time, I switched him for Pangoro and I could actually get some Pummels off for once
Thinking of banking Lucario for good unless I need his Mega, Pangoro would trigger Pummel so often there is just no way it was only probability fucking me up

>>26289776

Welcome to confirmation bias.

There is literally no way in the code for it to tell what mon is trying to activate an ability. That's why Ampharos can activate dancing dragons as often as Dragonite, despite it being useless on 99% of stages.

My vs swampert team-m-ampharos,zapdos,sawsbuck(block smash) and treecko(cuz level has ém).On mobile.Score sucks.

>>26289245
You can't have a safari with just 5x 1% Pokemon in it.

>>26290274
anon....
95% distributed on pokemon 1-5 or whatever
1% pokemon 6
1% pokemon 7
and so on

Did this happened with you too?

>>26290379
Something similar happened sometimes when the heart exploit still worked, but I don't remember it going over 99 hearts.

>>26289801
I swear I've never once seen Dancing Dragons activate for Ampharos, and I used it for a lot of the main stages because of lacking alternatives back then. Could it maybe only activate if you have Dragons on your team?

>>26290828

Yeah it only activates if you have dragons, which means you can use it with Mega Rayquaza, since it'll boost and get removed

bumpo

So Bellossom is just straight up impossible without at least one of the Oddish line?

>>26292441
>>26292441
Type "pak adi yak" on Youtube

>>26292441
It's doable. Moving the Vileplume in D4 to B6 will get rid of most of the board and Lugia can clean up the rest with Eject. If you're still having trouble brute forcing it, try a Disruption Delay.

>>26292441

No, use Char-Y or Abomasnow for some room to make SE hits. Also try to get paralyze to activate when it disrupts, Gloom has it. It doesn't actually have all that much HP, but it's disruptions are annoying. Also take Lugia

>>26292441
I beat it once itemless but used a DD to actually catch it, with a M-Blaziken team.

D4 to B6 clears most of the initial board, but I guess there's a better first move.

>>26292441
>No Char-Y, no Abomasnow, no M-Blaziken, no Oddish line, no Lugia

How fucked am I?

>>26292532

How are you this bad is a better question

>>26292549
I started a month ago.
It's not a question of being bad, it's just I couldn't do any of those events

>>26292600

You might be able to do something with mega Glalie, but DD is probably your best bet. Maybe with MS too, if you really want bellossom, but it isn't even that good desu

>Mind Zap

>>26292697
I tried Mega Glalie, with DD and I barely hit half health.

I think I'm gonna pass on Bellosom and Thundurus. I'll keep an eye on the competition, so I can get my swapertita and I catched Pinsir.

I'm just gonna farm Meowth and do something with the ex stages that I didn't finish.

Last thing. Any tips on Gothorita? I'm farming a team with Mega-Gengar and I'm planning on adding Yveltal when I catch it, but I can't drop it from 3/4 of its hp

>>26292775

oh no it's another grass mon that isn't as good as shaymin or virizion. Yeah I don't give a shit, most timers aren't long enough that mind zap helps more than sleep or the damage

>>26292801

DD is the only cure for the cancer of Gothorita, Mega Gengar is probably your best bet mega-wise obviously, though. I'd take +5 moves with DD to be honest

>>26292831
Given how often Stabilize+ triggers, it can be better than Roserade,

>>26292938
Thanks, I'll keep working on it

>>26293075
>Stabilize+ (20%, 50%, 80%)
>Mind Zap (10%, 40%, 100%)
Yeah, that's not really better.

>>26293277
But it's still better than Sleep Charm activation, and having Shaymin on your team doesn't stop you from using Bellossom either

>not going for the SleepZap wombo combo

>M-Ampharos
>Sceptile
>Bellossom
>Zapdos

rank 2376

I'll probably drop to the second tier, but I dearly hope I don't get cucked out of a mega stone at the last second AGAIN

Bought a megastart and charizard + lugia made short work of most of the NE stuff on the field

>>26295312

Thanks to this dead week I managed to max Hydreigon. Finally something against metal in Ghost/Dark teams.
Now I have a dilemma: Ludicolo or Bellossom?

Anyone else worried about not getting Swampertite?

Is it worth bringing Treecko along for M-Swampert?

>>26300143
I might be wrong but I believe there's a fixed amount of Treeckos, so I'd say no

>>26300143
Up to you

>>26285317
Megazard Y, Reshiram, Lugia and Budew. At max level and a good deal of luck, it's doable itemless.

>still crashes on switching mission cards
anyone got the list of rewards for card 3

>>26301641
I've heard that if you go from Card 1 to 3 instead of 2 to 3 it doesn't crash, don't know if you've tried that yet

>>26301706

>>26300750
Did those fags level their Treeckos or something?

>>26301641
>mfw Japanese version doesn't have this bug

What's better for M-Swampert, candied M-Gengar or not candied M-Sceptile? My fug is 14/20 so I can't use that nigger

>>26305066
I'd go sceptile in your case

>>26305066
Sceptile, just scored 45k with items and this was a super shitty run to boot. I fucking kid you not, no Sceptile were spawning, no combos at all to get some damage off, and it didn't go Mega until DD had already run out. Thank fuck that a match of five Treecko put it to sleep that let me get some pretty big combos off

>>26305066
You can buy a Mega Start for this.

>>26302737
I leveled Treeko to 6, and I'm bicurious.

There are a couple Treecko in the skyfall, but I wouldn't bother with it. It can fuck around with early M-Fug matches if they only remove three of them.

Zekrom and Shaymin should be on every team. Fug or Sceptile as Mega. Fourth slot can be any of Virizion, Treecko, Magnezone or Ampharos (with M-Fug).

There are enough slots for RML that it probably doesn't matter which you use.

>Britbong Fish & Chips bulletin is a street sign

>>26307363
My Virizion is still level 1, is it worth grinding up?

>>26307930
>is it worth levelling up Pokemon with the best ability in the game?
Not sure if you were only talking about this competition (for which it may be too late), but yes you should level up Virizion asap.

Hey familias, don't know if it's true but I've heard Meowth summoning coins or rocks while grinding depends on how much damage you deal to it, is that true? If so how much damage do I need to deal for that little shit to stop spamming rocks?

items

>>26317070
Use items and get used to using items. I also hope you're not on mobile since the rates are way more expensive and getting coins is way harder.

>>26292801
Same situation as you. No Char-Y, no Abomasnow, no M-Blaziken, no Oddish line, no Lugia. Did it with M-Lucario and optimize with DD and M-start. Playing on mobile.

>>26292801
>Any tips on Gothorita?
Put it to sleep with Darkrai and use M-Gengar. It's one hell of a stage.

For Mega-Mewtwo Y, what the best Mega, Gengar or Sableye?

Planning on taking him on with Disruption Delay + Mega Start + Moves 5, btw

>>26323121
Mega Absol if you have that. Otherwise probably Sableye. Gengar is bad here due to the disruptions.

I've given 5 RMLs to Groudon and 5 to Chariard so far.
Who's the best contender for the next 5? Blastoise?

>>26323121
Honestly if you don't have a lot of the bruisers (Darkrai, Yveltal, Genesect etc) it's better to use C-1 too with Gengar.

File: image.jpg (130KB, 750x983px) Image search: [Google]

I don't get this? Are 1, 3 and 5 cheating? Also why are so many people so bad at this game...

>>26323516
Kyogre is the next on the list. PersonallyI'm skeptical on using the RMLs on Groudon and Kyogre because they have a chance to be outclassed

>>26323755
of course they are... c'mon anon

>Seadra took >25 attempts to catch at >20%
>now >30 hearts into Lombre at 14-30%, still no catch
Fuck this. Guess I used up all my luck with my 1% catch last week.

>>26323755
I'm pretty sure those are their current teams, not the teams they used to beat the stage.

For some reason those comp rankings now do that, they show the teams you and other random players (like the top 5) used to beat the stage, but for your friends they show their current teams.

>>26324926
Nah not anymore. I've changed teams since and mine shows the same. As with the other guy on there, got that score a few days ago and is on other stages.

Don't die on me!!

What does everyone think of the latest set of stages? I'm finding that they require a little more team variety (eg using Talonflame or Golurk), which is nice.

Two things-

1. So Gothitelle just needs items to beat? M Gengar/Darkrai/Scizor/Scyther, all max couldn't do it, so try again with DD and maybe +5?

2. Best levels for grinding? Ampharos and Buneary I know about, anything else?

>>26292441
Caught itemless with three moves left. Used Mega Char-Y and optimize.

>>26327978
Snorlax if your team can handle it.

>>26327978
>Scizor

>>26328116
>he doesn't have both on the same team
Only excusable if you have Genesect, and even then Scizor is preferred since its Mega is now a thing that can be obtained in-game.

>>26328150
>he's this new

Fucking Thundurus

>>26327978
I beat Gothitelle itemless with M-Heracross and all max with no Genesect

Threw 2 Great Balls though :^)

Magnezone is giving me shit, should I just use all items and be done with it? Would set me back a bit, but, the stage is rather frustrating...

>>26323736
I have Yveltal unlocked, but at this point I can't beat him or Xerneas for that matter.I barely scrape by Heatran.

I did beat Mewtwo Y,with the combo I mentioned and Mega Sableye + Absol + Gengar + Scyther, and 8 moves left.

Just to make this bump slightly more worthwhile, I finally caught Ludicolo on about the 40th heart... now on to Glameow...

>>26332440
I haven't even unlocked Arcanine yet and I don't really feel too tempted to do it since we've already got shit like Reshiram, Heatran, Ho-Oh, Blaziken and Charizard
If anything Power of 4+ might make it worth it, but even then the ones coming next fucking suck as well (Risk-Taker Yanmega, what the fuck?)
Ludicolo might have its uses on a Sceptile team with Shaymin and Bellosom but Virizion is also too good to pass, if only they had given Ludicolo Barrier Bash+ then it would've been a must against shit like Gastrodon and Finneon, although anyone who has already unlocked Ludicolo has probably already S-Ranked them both

>>26332753
Oh sorry I meant Lombre, I'm referring to my earlier comment >>26324019

I'm still convinced the RNG is broken in my game :^)

>>26332753
Never used Arcanine on a proper stage since I'd usually want a Pyre team, i.e. M-Blaziken, Delphox, Charizard and either Reshiram or Talonflame for disruptions.

Po4+ is the best stand-alone ability in theory, but it has no synergies and is usually displaced by anti-disruption stuff and ability combos. Also, those fucking 20% when it doesn't proc.

How the fuck do you beat Xerneas. The only decent team available to me is Mawile, Nidoking/queen, and Bronzong.

>tfw

>>26334869
Grind on Ampharos.

>>26332985
I burned over 30 hearts trying to catch Brozong (with an average 10~15% chance) and in the end I only caught it with Great Balls and a Super Catch Power that rose the chance to 80%. And still required 2 Great Balls

Welcome to the club

I only got 4800 form Meowth today. The starting board was shit and I wasted a move later on.

>>26337153
Do you usually get a lot more? That's about average for me. What's your team?

>>26337525
My average is in the 5000-6000 range with M-Mewtwo and 3 mega booster

>>26337525
Since Unown appeared I have constantly been over 7k coins with Meowth

>>26337653

>>26344051
Thanks for the tip.

Also, I just found out for certain that even if you have both of Charizard's Mega Stones, they share the same base form.

What are some must-haves? I would think Mega Garchomp and Mewtwo.

I already have Yveltal and Heatran.

>>26343391
I'm taking it one step at a time: got him to level 10 a while ago, used one, got him within a few exp of level 11, used another, etc. currently on my way to level 14. Figured I might as well wait until I have to use them, in case there is an update that would convince me to use them elsewhere.

Most of the expert stages outright require at least a Disruption Delay, but then you get some where Complexity is pretty much mandatory like with Genesect.

>>26348004
I've beaten every single experts stage itemless (and w/o homebutton abuse for those who remember that). That includes Genesect (used M-Charizard-Y).

You're so full of shit, this Genesect stage is impossible itemless

Jesus Christ am I the only one struggling with Flygon? I couldn't beat him so I went and grinding Bellossom for Mind Zap Powers (M-Fug, Virizon, Shaymin and Bell) and I keep getting it to like 2 HP but losing. No one else has complained so I'm trying itemless, and also because I don't want to spend money to beat/S-Rank then not catch but fuck me the fucker won't go down. Is my team shit or do I just need to git gudder?

>>26348004
>Most of the expert stages outright require at least a Disruption Delay
That ain't true lad, only stages where I've required items were Mewtwo, Genesect and that faggot Bisharp
I get Mewtwo and Genesect being difficult, but Bisharp had no fucking right to be nowhere near as hard as it was, specially since we already had shit like Darkrai and Yvelta
I also used items on Gallade because he's my favorite mon so I just wanted to get the fucker ASAP, but I beat the stage itemless on my first try

>>26348640
Mega Sceptile with Disruption Delay is the only way not to go, and I'd throw a Moves +5 as well just as a safety net

I miss fast match to be honest

>>26348125
If you play on a old phone like I do timed stages are easy as heck
Latios escalation was a piece of cake and I S-ranked Azelf with only Attack+
The downside is a 3-mon stage bonus combo can last for minutes

>>26350625
That fact I mentioned the homebutton trick should have made it obvious that I'm playing on 3DS.

>>26334869
Try M-Gengar if u have it at a decent level

>faggot Bisharp
I dunno why alot of lads have/had problems with it. Beat it third try. itemless of course and caught him within the sixth or seventh try...

Why the fuck does this shit ability even exist again?

So after grinding Meowth all day, I went o M-Swampert's stage rocking Mega Ampharos/Zapdos/Raikou/Treecko, with Disruption Delay and Atk Power+ and I got ranked 5303.

Mega Swampert ends in 17 hours, do you think I'm in the clear to at least receive the Megastone? I don't mind falling out of the top 15000, but I need a good water-type Mega ASAP

>>26354741
You're not going to lose more than 20–30% of your rank on the last day. No need to worry if you're nowhere near the margins.

Damn, my scores in this comp sucked so fucking much, 42k with M-Sceptile team and 44k with M-Fug team. I should have at least leveled up Treecko a bit.

>>26353025
Doesn't do much even when it does activate.

Man,Roserade-Bellosom-Shaymin/Treecko make for a good team.If only I had Mega Sceptile.

Was the minimal team and items to srank megascizor?

>>26359771
Everything, even C-1. You could probably manage without some other item, but it's not worth the risk.

>>26348640
I struggled to catch that fucker
>spent over 30 hearts trying to catch it

It was the only one I was missing too

>>26329383

If I remember correctly Froakie can be beaten by bringing Tropius to the stage.

>>26332753

Arcanine a shit, Yanmega's stage is a pain in the ass since it's fucking >genesect all over again but instead of base 80 with CC you get base 70 with risk taker. All the fun of 6 mons with none of the reward.

>>26334869

Git Gud, I beat it with that team.

Alright Anon, focus on getting Mawile to Mega as fast as possible, breaking barriers along the way. As soon as you do that, keep the number of Mawile in the play area to a minimum by matching it as soon as you can without dropping the combo. When you've got into the regular flow of the stages, match vertically at the bottom corners as much as possible, it gives you more time to keep the combo up, which you want since longer combo gives a multiplier to the matches you make, after 3-4 matches, switch sides, and repeat until death. Good Luck

>>26337653

Me too, Unown is a godsend on this stage. I'm back over 90K coins, although I've still got around 30 S ranks to get, but I'm ready for the update.

>>26348004

I've beaten most of the expert stages itemless, but I can't into fucking Yanmega right now.

>>26348125

I'll admit, I home buttoned Genesect

>>26359771

Everything except DD, if Mega Aerodactyl, everything if anything else.

Fuck me. Trying to S-Rank Mega-Medicham and I go in with M+5, MS and DD and struggle. What the fuck is this bullshit? A team of 4-100BP mons, including a Mega that clears the others and I can't get a combo with 2 digits? What is the psuedo random bullshit? Three fucking attempts and I FAILED one... With fucking DD and MS. Seriously I there some goddamn trick I'm missing? Why the fuck can't I get a combo over 1 digit? I'd used a C-1 but that would probably just get rid of the completely ineffectual Medtite mons that don't pose any real threat. Yet somehow I struggle to even clear the stage. Am I insane? What am I doing wrong?

>>26362028
Probably banned on both Miiverse and 4chan.

>>26363383
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________git gud___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

>>26363383
Why would C-1 remove Meditite? Those icons are just on the starting board, not an additional Pokémon.

>>26364180
Come on bro, step up your gitgudposting. Hiding it behind spoilers with underscores to feign length is overdone.

>>26364403
The part that is maddening is would that even help? I've used strategically removed them before (dual match that both got them out of the way and started a new "chain") and it still didn't help. Are 3/4 icons stuck at the bottom of the field really that troublesome? I just can't get combos for some reason, seriously getting over single digit combos is unexplainable rare for me.

>>26364838
Momma Mia it's even happening to me on Swamperts stage! Thanks to Mega-Fug, a board of nothing but Zekrom and Treekos and somehow they all fell in a nice checkboard pattern ending my combo at a laughable 5!!! Either my game is broken or I'm going insane!

>>26364921
It's just called RNG. My first item attempt with Mega Rayquaza got me 37.000 points, while the second item run with the same team got me 81.020 points, placing me 22nd as of now. I used ShuffleMove both times.

In Who should I use my raise Max levels? Or should I just hoard them for now

>>26365080
Groudon, Charizard and Kyogre for now.

>>26365159
What about Azumarill? Having a 105 BP Fairy to use with Pixie Power teams/battles against Dragons using Mega Fug would be better if there's no need for Diancie right?

>>26365265
You do know there's only a tiny handful of Pokemon you can give these items to, right?

Hey /shuffle/, so I'm currently hacking my 2DS but I'm not doing it with my first SD (the one that came with the DS and has shuffle) because it's only 4GB so I bought a 16GB and I started doing the hacking in that one, but I have some savefiles (including shuffle) I want to put in the new SD, so I made a backup with all the archives in the first SD and copy-pasted them in the new one. I downloaded SVDT so I could back them up but SVDT on homebrew launcher isn't showing any of those savefiles. So my question is: did I fuck up? Is there anyway to get those savefiles in the new SD? I already went to the hacking general in /vg/ but they aren't helping.

>>26365287
No shit Sherlock, but that doesn't answer my question.

As of now, if you've been keeping up on 3DS you already have enough RMLs to max out Groudon, Kyogre, and Charizard and then some leftovers. There's no indication GS will even let more Pokemon use the item, let alone waiting for the off-chance that one of these will actually be good enough to use them on.
All I'm saying is Azu is probably the best candidate for RMLs after those three compared to fucking Druddigon or Lapras

>>26365422
how did you make the savefiles?
simply copy+paste of the nintendo 3ds folder?
or did you use SVDT to get the actual savedata.bin from shuffle?

Also, use JKSM if you are on cfw instead of svdt. svdt a shit

>>26365580
Pixie Power only has a 15/35/60% chance of being triggered, that's tied with Sinister Power as the one with lowest activation rate out of all the "Increases damage of _____ types in a combo" abilities, even Double Normal activates more often
Azumarill's ability also fucking sucks, so just keep them for a while or give them to Espeon to buff Mega Mewtwo Y, maybe even Venusaur and Blastoise for Mega Sceptile and Swampert teams, besides Vitality Drain and Stabilize+ are actually useful abilities even if their activation rates somewhat suck

>>26365580
Someone was sugesting Espeon for use with M-Mewtwo-Y the other day.

And don't forget you have to grind those 5 level and 10-15 takes 1.7x as much exp as 1-10. I recommend using a Level Up to skip 14-15 (so far they seam to be give out at approximately 1 LU to 5 RML ratio)

>>26365696
>simply copy+paste of the nintendo 3ds folder?
This, because I thought that the savefiles were there.
>or did you use SVDT to get the actual savedata.bin from shuffle?
This is the problem SVDT doesn't even show me the savefiles so I can't back them up.

It better just be my bad luck kicking in, I fucking swear if they nerfed the abilities just to make us grind to death for those Skill Plus I'm killing someone

So for skill boosters, whats the best?

Sleep charm seems kind of obvious as a frontrunner, then maybe Pyre + variants. What else?

Jellicent's stage is a goddamn mess of barriers and there are no ghost or dark mons with Barrier Bash

The skill boosters only drop in special stage? No normal or expert stage drops?

oh boy this is big

>OMG Mesprit right after I brought FemFrillish into my party, won with 0 turns remaing and caught in a normal ball! BRING SAFARI MONS FOR GOOD LUCK is probably what they meant lol

What do the skill boosters do?

Is it instant?

What's for next week in mobile?

>>26366926
We don't even know what it exactly does, do we?

In the end it will probably improve Po4+ to Po5+.

So until Groudon is gone, will grinding pretty much involve using hearts on Meowth and getting 330 coins to go and spend 400 to face Groudon while hoping for that skill booster?

Should've brought along M-Rayquaza and Darkrai.

>>26367052
It's a clunkier variant of Power of 5.

>>26367090
Except T- and +-shaped matches are much easier to get even without planning for them.

So I brought Jellicent on safari, and Jellicent appeared again.
Jellicent triggered a disruption, and spawned 7 coins. The coins are on B1,B3,B4,D2,D3, F1,F2.

Not sure if this is what it means to for good things to happen if you bring a pokemon caught in safari into safari.

>>26367090
T's and +'s are hell of a lot more common then 5 matches. Combined I'd they slightly more common then 4 matches, so individually the happen about half as often as 4 matches.

Wobbuffet provides 0 coins upon being beaten.

Has a groovy theme though if you don't use MS, it's the tutorial music.

Mobile player here. So i just beat groudon having already caught him sometime ago and when i made a 5 match with sceptile the skill triggered, and a little present icon popped up. The skill boost applies to groudon itself apparently, not usable on other pokes.

So does it drop Skill Booster once or will it drop more if I keep playing the stage? Also, according to the pastebin, Ash-Greninja and Kyogre will drop skill boosters too.
>yfw buffed Power of 4+

>>26367370
Well, at least it's double of what I thought it'd be.

OH SHIT DISCOVERY

When doing the Groudon stage to farm skill boosters For itself it shows a little present on right side above Its name.

I noticed after I beat it but it might show up during the game I'm not sure

>>26366895
as long as ou get him to combo on himself you should be good,
Used a M-Sceptile Team

IMAGINE

If you max out Groudon's skill, it transforms from Earthquake into Precipice Blades

Just a heads up, bring a barrier bash+ poke when doing safari. Saved my bacon when mesprit showed.

I have no fucking clue what I'm doing, but im constantly making Groudon drop a skill booster each game.

It might be damage output done in a single move.

I don't fucking know.

I always get barrier, block, rock and disruption confused, and the pastebin doesn't clarify it. Which one is which?

>>26367500
Barrier is ice, block is metal, rock is rock and disruption is anything spawned by pokemon

Is it even worth it to grind boosters for Groudon? I mean, what does a beefed up Quake even do?

literally the second encounter I do in the safari, barely manage to beat the stage with no moves left, 22% catch rate. Breaks out of pokeball, but didn't run away before I caught it in the third great ball at 44%

now I just have to catch everything else but at least I got the last of the lake trio

>>26367656
The main problem with this Safari is shitty rates for everything. I've encountered Frillish 5/12 hearts I've just used, haven't caught yet. Elygem beaten in the first move 3 times but with only 22% not caught either. Getting really salty at this game

>>26367645
Dumps don't list any but the dumps did list these 3 before ether. They were most likely added in this update so others could be add in future updates.

I can't beat reliabely, but it seems easy enough. I don't have a particularly impressive team (M-Glalie, Sceptile, Suicune, Articuno all around 4~5) and I beat him itemless.

The only tricky part of to have Groudon combo itself, as that depends on the initial board roll

>>26367947
We'll have the new starters before having those

Do the extra coins only spawn if you bring the Pokémon of the stage you play?

Took Jellicent to Elgyem's stage and nothing happened.

So the skill boosters only work on the pokemon you use it on, not the skill in general?

>>26368032
Each pokemon only spawns coins on its own stage

I don't think so, Drowzee spawned a coin on his first disruption.

Dunno about the second one, somehow I got a 127 combo and Drowzee got unecessarely rekt

From what I can see in the pastebin, more coins have a 1/8 chance of spawning. Pretty shitty desu

Well, at least I already have Jellicent and Beheeyem down after eight hearts. Had to throw three Great Balls though.

So how do the Boosters actually work? Could it be that you can actually get them by just doing the stages but since the main ones are permanent unlike the special ones it is easier to get them on special stages? Also Groudon is piece of cake, but once the ones that require AP+ arrive it'll be neverending Meowth farming for everyone, we're so fucked

Aaand Hypno caught as well. None of the low-level shitmons yet though, and of course no Mesprit.

The last one (Zubat and Co.) also had shitty catch rates.

>tfw still no rayylmao

pls end me

Ow my coins. I just dumped 20k on Mesprit and Electivire.

I'm constantly broke becaus mobilecuck and my life now is doing Meowth stages until I raise 400 coins and then dump them all on Groudon. Life is awful

>Mesprit
What? How? Do you spend all your money on items in the Safari until you find Mesprit?

With Pikacookie, it's Stabilize+ good now?
