/shuffle/ General: Ten More Hours Edition

>>27104346
Hopefully a way for theoretically infinite Skill Swaps
Or an easier Yveltal mission

Also, SS on Regirock Y/N?

>incresed
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>27104505
I'm keeping Last-Ditch Effort. There are better candidates for SS, plus Last-Ditch Effort can be a useful skill.

Drop rates for Regirock are shit though. I've played that level ten times and it's only dropped one PSB.

>>27104346
>not letting the general stay dead until after the update
>have to deal with this thread until it dies as well
OP A SHIT

Welp, I caved in and spent 3 jewels in beating the Yveltal mission

>>27105643
Since Pokemon Go threads are flooding /vp/, all the unique, non-general threads are being buried in the trash. The only threads I visit are the above mentioned, SM news, and /shuffle/. So I made another general so I'd have a thread to hang out in.

So after Charizard, Groudon and Kyogre/Blastoise, who was the next best to RML? Don't we have a list floating around somewhere? Also one for SSs? I can't be bothered making on myself but I will if I have to.

>>27107407
Jesus Christ. Is a skill swapper really worth that, when we just got two from the escalation?

Or are you a supreme/payfag?

>>27108624
I'd do both Kyogre and Bastoise

>>27105643
>have to deal with this thread until it dies as well
That probably won't be very long, so I doubt it'll even matter.

>>27108624
Supremefag, but only for the free coins/jewels and lessened PSB grinding.

>>27108624
>So after Charizard, Groudon and Kyogre/Blastoise, who was the next best to RML?
Raikou, Suicune, and Zoroark should be your next targets. Raikou and Suicune are also the best options for SS, but Zoroark is actually worse than it'd be with its normal ability.

Leafeon, Jolteon, and Mew maaaaay be worth considering if you still have some left over after that, but that's a lot of resources. Leafeon will at least have a higher BP than any normal Grass-type afterward, I guess, for all that matters.

Donphan seems great on the surface, but Ground Forces has a kind of shitty activation rate for what is basically Pyre, and time-based stages are getting less common while you'd probably rather just get a Landorus-T activation on turn-based. For the investment, you may be better off just hoping it gets released on something that doesn't need four consumables to be viable.

Just so I can know how much i can grind a day, how many hearts can you get naturally a day?

>>27107407
Was it worth it anon?

>>27104505
>theoretically infinite Skill Swaps
>theoretically infinite
>theoretically
No, fuck off. We saw how well that turned out with RMLs.

When are they finally going to add new normal stages?

>>27110854
Once you start believing hard enough

>>27110889
I want to sudoku myself

>>27110854
It's been eleven weeks since our last main stage update. That's the longest we've ever had to wait. I think we'll be getting new main stages in this or the very next update.

>>27111233
It might be weird to add them mid scalation, but please jesus

>>27110536

One every half hour, so 48 hearts per day max if you're crazy enough to wake up in the middle of the night every 2.5 hours.

Assuming 8 hours continuous sleep and 16 awake, the realistic limit is 37; 32 for the daytime, and the 5 that regenerate while you sleep.

>>27111516
That's exactly the kind of shit these Jewswould do.

>>27108624
I don't have a ton of RMLs, so I'm only going to use them on the ones that could use them the most. Leafeon, Jolteon, and Mew will all fulfill roles otherwise unavailable, so it just makes more sense to me to use the RMLs on them instead of things that are already strong enough. I also might only use four on each, bringing them to 90AP.

Tangela is also an interesting choice for RMLs + SS. Of course the day someone does it will be the day something like Serperior will be released with Constrict as its skill.

>>27112959
That's what I'm fearing, I mean they baited us really hard to use the very first SS on Raikou, I don't really regret doing so, but I can already see these niggs releasing Thundurus-T and giving it Barrier Bash++ or some crap like that

Is it already up?

>>27113836
Nope, not yet.

What if they pander to all the normies playing Pokemon Go and have a gen 1 update? what if they infiltrate our general?[\spoiler]

>>27114169
At what time does it normally update?

I should go to sleep

Just beat Giratina 186. At what point does it start getting hard?

>>27114764
Shuffle updates in 32 minutes, just wait for that anon.

>>27114839
After 230, I'd say.

>>27114950
Fuck me, so they changed it didnt they?

>>27115010
No, you're just on summer time, which Japan doesn't have.

>only winking shitmons and Hoopa
>no new stages
>STILL no corocoro leaks
Just end it all lads

>>27115030
Frankly, I liked it better when the updates where the Monday

My Ho-Oh grind ended just 1 PSB away from level 4 ;__;

Guess I'll use a Skill Booster S on it.

>Barrier Bash+ Ghost

>Absolite mission card in the middle of the Giratina escalation
Oh GS, you're too kind.

Actually you're just pushing some people, including myself, into spending some more coins in the escalation when I had already given up on it.

Hoopa Confined, new safari with WInking Pikachu and Winking Raichu and that can also drop Exp, Booster M, Azelf with PSB, and Regigigas

New data was added as well

Safari mons drop coins and exp booster m's. Interesting. Also they've stopping giving jewels as replacement if you have a mega stone given in a mission card already.

>Gonna have to put up with all the shit I already have only to get Blinking Pikachu and Raichu
>More Mission Cards while I still haven't beaten Yveltal's mission and have not Jewels at all
>Regigigas doesn't drop Skill Boosters
Just fuck my shit up familia

>>27115348
P5+ or Pyre?

>Registeel
>Regigigas
>Hoopa

>still at Giratina 125

Goddamnit I just wanted a dead week

Winking Pikachu has 50BP with Swap++

>>27115433
>Darumaka dropped 200 coins

Ok nvm this is quite good

Stantler gives away 300 coins

At least Hoopa is easy to catch

>Rock Break+

JUST

Hoopa is a 70BP Ghost with Barrier Bash+

Raichu done. Enjoy your 36% catch rate.

>>27115519

Confirmed shit.

I'm sad.

>>27115585
That Safari was a rerun except this time around they added Pikachu, Raichu and allowed them to dump coins

>>27115585
Yeah we already knew, this is a rerun besides the winking shits

>There's people taking Groudon, Landorus and Garchomp to the Safari
Enjoy the Blocks niggers

Azelf is a fucking nigger. What's with the fifty different disruption Pokemon?

>>27115676
>blocks
Who? I'll bring Golurk

>>27115676
>blocks
>Garchomp

>>27115676
>Not bringing Gengar to the Safari

>>27115691
Electrike starts with Blocks, Winking Pikachu also starts with Blocks, they do not disrupt with them but having half the board full of Blocks during the first few turns sucks, Darmanitan also disrupts with a thousand Rocks every turn so bringing Gliscor as well would be a good idea
I don't remember if Manectric has Blocks but if Electrike has them then probably Manectric does too, and I'm yet to run into Winking Raichu so I don't know what the fucker is like

>>27115740
Learn to read m8, people are bringing 2 out of those 3 fuckers instead of bringing Golurk to deal with the Blocks, it is a given everyone'll Gengar

>>27115783
>Groudong, Landorus and Garchomp

Sounds like all three.

But to be honest, even if it's just two out of three, it's still irrelevant. You get a fuckton of combos with Winking Pikachu due to its disruption and the other shitmons have low HP anyway.

Neat, finally got that stupid 120 combo mission from the safari

This game is dead

So probably a M-Manectric rerun next? Fuck this, I want M-Camerupt already.

>>27116098
We already have M-Garchomp nigga, I want M-Gallade to be released as much as you want M-Camerupt, but if they're gonna release anything it's gotta be M-Pidgeot and M-Beedrill already, it's been ages since the Beedrill event came out for the first time and Pidgeot hasn't been relevant ever since the early game
They should also have M-Salamence or M-Tyranitar be the next area's boss stage, the two of them have been in the game for a while as well

Anyone know how to beat Winking Raichu yet?

>>27115564
Genius Sonority are atoning for their sins.

>>27116461
More like they're trying to make sure everybody doesn't just quit shuffle for GO.

Or, since Nintendo's stock has gone up, especially in Pokemon, they don't need to milk Shuffle anymore because all the normies are falling for GO's shilling.

>>27116461
Yeah, but some Pokémon like Darumaka and Stantler don't give coins unless you get them from the gifts, so in the end it's basically the same as every other safari, except with a slim chance of getting an exp booster.

>>27116505
Yeah but they drop quite commonly and are 100 - 300 instead of the usual 20 so it's still good.

>>27116505
>the same as every other safari
Except the bullshit ones that require you to make a big combo for the pokémon to spawn coins

>mfw new shit

You're fucking great anon, thanks

hoopa is good

I'm only missing Raichu in the Safari. As soon as I find it I'm gonna do Mission Card #10 and after that I want to grind on Ampharos until the next update

So with Hoopa we're only missing Barrier Bash+ pokémon that are SE against Electric, Fairy and Normal, right?

We also need something with Block Smash+ to deal with Dragon, Ghost and Psychic types.

>knew they would do something with the regi trio with regigigas
>it's here
>haven't beaten regice once
I'm about to use items, what mega do I use? Hyper punch looks like angry pika skill so I need it

>>27117130
I used Lucario ms and att+ for 14 or so moves.

>>27116426
just do winking raichu 4-matches then youll beat it

Wow, got both winking raichu and pikachu within the first 5 hearts

>>27117332
Fuck you too.

>got Pikachu with the 1st heart
>got Raichu with the 5th heart
>all those shekels

Good start to the week Shuffle.

Is there a way to play this on mobile for more than 10 minutes every 4 hours without having to resort to real money?

>>27117518
Add friends and send hearts to them.

Are exp boosters a lie? 60 hearts later and still not a single one.

At least I still have to catch winkingchu because it escaped the first three times, so I have a reason to keep going. The coins are a nice bonus as well.

>>27115466
got 100 coins from stantler (1 box)

What are the appearance rates for the winking Pikachu and Raichu? Since board rules compel me to catch them all I may as well know what kind of slog I'm in for before I can get back to my main goal of catching main stage mons.

>>27117857
I don't think it's known yet, but if they're the rarest and it's anything like the past safari, 1% for both.
Know too that it's rigged, it isn't really 1%, they are fated to appear at least once to everyone

>>27117971
What's their ability / BP?

>>27117994
Haven't found Raichu, but Pikachu's is Swap++

>>27117686
Got it, thanks.

>>27115744

Manectric is a shit ton of barriers.

>>27117994
>>27118005

Winking Pikachu is Base 50 with Swap++
Winking Raichu is Base 60 with Rock Break+

>>27117716
I got one on the very first run. They're ineffecient anyways unless have a whole lot stored up and quickly need something leveled up at a later point. E.g. I dumped all my remaining ones plus two level ups into Suicune to get it to max.

This is fine.

>>27120868
Did you use only one mega senpai? Which one?

>>27121143
For most of the climb I used M-Absol. M-Gengar was pretty much only good for the 3-mon stages.

Don't ask me for good tips on 290-299. I just nuked them with items so I could get it over with faster.

>>27120868
What items did you use on boss stages 200+? And any items on the other stages?

Also have only about 35k thanks to grinding Ho-Oh as well as using some Great Balls elsewhere.

>>27122125
If I remember right, I used all items on 250/280/300. 200 was everything but MS.

Stages 245-249 and 275-279 were points where I used +10s because I am shit at video games.
290 and 291 were done using +10 and DD with 0-1 second left.
295-299 were done with DD and AP+ with 16-19 seconds left. There's definitely a cheaper solution out there somewhere.

All the other stages were fine itemless. My advice is to just stop at 280 unless you have lots of money to burn.

>>27122840
I'll likely just stay at 150 since I have 13 RMLs left and nothing good to use them on. (already maxed Zard, Raikou, Suicune)

>>27121438
Thanks anon
I don't pretend to go up to 300 though, I'll stop at 150 since I'm going to need those coins for everything else we have this week

>>27121438
I'm on 190 now and just used Mega Gengar all the way. Haven't needed items outside boss stages yet.

What's coming next week, does anyone know yet?

>>27123709
Probably MManectric competition, don't know anything else

>>27123709

>tfw I've already captured Hoopa and those winking rats

It took me one Great Ball each though. Well, back to farm some coins.

>>27121143

I cleared 300 yesterday and used Mega Gengar for the entire run. All items used on 250,280 and 300. C-1, Attack+ and +10s on 200, 150 and 100 Attack+ only. 290+ are bitches, I used +10S and DD for all of them. Didn't fail once, but I got lucky and got a +5 skip during that run.

Failed 280 once though, thanks to the starting board being pure cancer and not allowing me to match even one Zoroark, and 20 seconds later, still hadn't had a chance to set Sinister Power. I was Max coins before escalation, dropped down to around 10K, but since this week is full of absolutely fucking nothing I'll be back over 80K by next update most likely, which according to >>27123894
I don't need shit from, except a good Manectric run and rhyperior. All I need now is fucking Winking Raichu to show up. I already got Hoopa.

Hoopa's disruption is the exact same shape as Mega Sableyes Mega effect if anyone is having trouble with that. Though it's easily doable itemless to be honest.

>>27123894
>M-Manectric

Fuck this shit, where my M-Steelix at?

>>27124658
Also Mega Metagross

>>27123826
Block Smash+ Mew is useful, Eject+ is redundant since Poison stages are more disruption heavy than added Pokemon while against Fighting types Lugia already exists

Then Metagross shows up with Block Smash+ or M-Alakazam's skill is similar to M-Aerodactyl and M-Steelix and Mew's best skill is Po4+ all along

>>27124729
Let's hope it comes with new stages.

Not that I care since I'll be stuck for a while on Roserade

>>27124748
>Block Smash+ Mew is useful
No, it's not. Barely any Fighting stages left.

>>27124748
>>27125021
>No, it's not. Barely any Fighting stages left.
And even if that wasn't the case, BS+ doesn't get much benefit from skill boosters so there's no real need to SS it for the event regardless.

No matter what path Mew takes, it's competing with something for at least one of the types it beats. The only thing it really has going for it is Keldeo-R utility, which isn't worth a shitload of investment on one Pokémon.

>>27123894
If Bellossom doesn't drop Skill Boosters I'm rioting, also
>Landorus once a-fucking-gain
Where the hell are Thundurus and Tornadus? Rhyperior is gonna be the only thing I'm gonna be looking forward to next week apparently, unless they add new stages

>>27125558

I have absolutely zero faith in main stages being added during the second week of an update. If the main stages are included in the update data, why not release them immediately?

>>27123894
>Landorus-T has had 3 events.
>Thundurus-T and Tornadus-T have had none.

Mega rayylmao can go fuck itself

>>27125639
Don't worry, they won't.

But as >>27118267 said, there's a 29 mon gap between Hoopa and Unfezant. So we'll likely get a 30-stage area including a mega soon.

>>27125999
>its Mega Pidgeot

>>27125639
They can't be in the data now, the main stages are not date-based, only the special stages are.

Maybe there will be another data update next week, but if >>27123894 is true and there are events lined up for next week then it's very unlikely.

Shit, I just messed up and couldn't beat Raichu.

Is all items except C-1 enough to rank S Mega fug using m-latios?

>>27127611
No. Go full items or you won't have a chance to S-Rank.

>>27127445
How?

There are literally 2 moves and all of them involve matching the winking Raichu.

>>27128029
I did a 3-match somehow. I thought it was impossible to lose at it and didn't pay any attention. Now it's the only one I'm missing.

>>27127652
Gotta grind more then, thanks

Caught hoopa at 13% only spent 2 hearts on it, finally some good luck.

>There's people here in this thread who were stupid enough to bring to Hoopa any Mega other than the one that literally erases icons in a O shape

>>27124655
>250, 280, 300
>all items
Even Megastart? Were you using Absol or Gengar? Using Megastart on Gengar seems like a waste, you can get him to megavolve in like 1 second depending on the board.

>>27129709

Yes I was using Gengar, believe me, at 82 goodamnthousand hitpoints and some really nasty starting boards, that second can make all the difference. As I said, even using Mega Start Gengar, I failed 280 once. I wasn't gonna take that chance at 300. 250 is possibly doable without Mega Start, but I was risking 14300 coins to save a measly 2000.

The only thing slowing me down was winking Raichu, but now I've caught it and can go full coin grind and will be max coins again before next Tuesday, so it's not like I'm gonna miss those coins.

>>27129978
Hm worth the consideration, I'm upto 250...

I don't think you guys realize how much of an endless hell this game is going to be.
There's like 30 more Winking Pokemon on the way, along with a bunch of other Pikachu emotes and more Shinys.
Then, if you're not yet convinced, there's special icons for Pumpkaboo, Gourgeist and Sableye for Halloween. Then some more icons for Cubchoo, Vanillite and Deliberd for Christmas. CHRISTMAS.
They plan to keep doing these horrible 1% chance Safaris for FIVE MORE MONTHS. And that's AFTER the release of Sun and Moon. For all we know they'll add in Gen 7 Pokemon and the horror will continue for another year as they play catch-up with all the older Pokemon they haven't released yet AND Gen 7 Pokemon.
This is a never ending nightmare.
And we are witness to it.

>>27130706
The winking Pokemon and shinies are basically just because they're running out of unreleased Pokemon, anon.

>>27130814
The fuck are you talking about? There's 200 or more. Even if they add 50 main stages every time that's at least 4 major updates.

>>27130939
1%. You're guaranteed to see them at least once every 100 tries.

>>27129709
I did 250 without MS (Gengar).

>>27130889
>200 or more
Nope, definitely less. According to
http://pokemondb.net/spinoff/shuffle/unavailable
there are 179, that number includes all the remaining megas, plus the most recent mons like Giratina/Hoopa. So it's probably around 160.

>>27130957
That's not how probability works.

Though it seems like it should be higher, quite a few people saw both of them within a few hearts.

>>27131054
Okay, so it's 3 major updates, along with at least 10 Great Challenges, IF they only confine it to Legendaries and not regular shitmons like they've been doing.

Is Block Smash+ Suicune alright?

I just beat MMY

>>27130706
At least with the Halloween ones we have a chance of them making a Halloween Safari with the Pikachu being a 1% or something. Or a Gourgeist/Pumpkaboo safari.

>>27132000
yes, Dialga seems to suck balls and not activate in some stages, so suicune is a nice backup
nice trips

>>27130706
>>27130814
>>27132033
I can see this game ending during Gen 7.

Post YFW: The New area will have 50 stages and the 20 missing from the gap between Unfezant and Hoopa are the unreleased pokemon like Unova and Sinnoh starters, and Unown forms.

>>27129483
Maybe if it didn't take literally twice as many icons to evolve as Gengar, and substantially more than Fug, for a disruption it probably will only do 1-2 times. Maybe then I'd consider Sableye.

>>27132000
Slightly redundant with Golurk (for Fire) and Dialga (for Rock).

However, considering that it's the only option for Ground, inherently stronger than Golurk for Fire, and stronger than Dialga at level 15 for Rock, it's still a very solid candidate. (And there's nothing saying you can't double up, if a stage is just that bad!)

If nothing else, it's something you can expect non-situational use for. That alone probably makes it the second best choice after Raikou.

>>27132326
It also helps that normal Suicune is useless.

>>27132087
>not activate

Matching 4s or 5s will do the trick, I felt that they nerfed the 3-matches on all skills so players will have to dump coins on farming PSBs.

>>27132326
I have 8 RMLs, who should I prioritize first?

>>27132817
Sableye, Raikou or Suicune, if you don't have the best ones already max leveled.

You kidding? It can be an 80BP Dark Mega that can deal a lot of damage with Risk-Taker

>>27133196
Why would you ever use Mega Sableye when Mega Absol and Mega Gengar are so much better? Sableye is only useful for Hoopa, and that's only if you're willing to buy a Mega Start.

Best team for azelf?

>combos never reach to 100 or beyond
>just a bunch of 40-60 even without rocks

The stage has a rigged skyfall just like the other three Pokemon stages, absolutely mind blowing.

Did they rig it because there are missions that require a specific number of combos?

>>27132157
We'll much sooner get Litten than the remaining Sinnoh and Unova starters.

Anyone got Regigigas? Is the strat going with the 3 Regis or just optimized team?

There's no way they're just 1% each. I met each one 4 times with 50 hearts.

>>27136191
I got it on both Pikachu and Raichu today. Both went to Max.

And then caught Hoopa without needing a Great Ball. Looks like I can catch a break! By which I mean grind Meowth until I'm back at optimal amount of coins.

So I want to try and get myself in good shape for next week's grinding. All I have to get this week yet are Regice and Registeel so any recommendations on teams for those? Are they pretty easy itemless or should I save up for the usual AP+ and 2 great balls? My goal is to have Regigigas before next week.

>>27134458

What are the chances of getting the wrinking mice?

I got both of them but was too poor to use fucking great balls

>>27144153
I don't think anyone knows, Ritchie has not added a new pastebin. From what people here are saying it seems like they're reasonably common, maybe 5-10%. Unless it's 1% normally but higher if you've already caught the others?

>>27144153
>going into 1% chance without gold
Go back to grinding you don't want it to happen twice

>>27134488
>>27144050

M-Gengar/M-Fug, Zoroark, Darkrai/Yveltal, Volbeat. It adds Volbeat as disruptions periodically. Try to activate Sinister Power and not drop the combo, but it is a 5mon stage, so it can be tough, to be honest.

>>27144337

I don't know the exact percentages here, but I have heard that the last few safari's have had a few 'normalizing' factors added, to make sure the randomness of very low percentage mons was reduced to make sure that individual results are less varied (ie fewer people spending 200+ hearts and not seeing Phione, while others see it a couple of times in 100 hearts)

>>27144337
>From what people here are saying it seems like they're reasonably common, maybe 5-10%.
There's no way to make a significant estimate without several hundreds to thousands of properly documented runs. People who run into both of them on just five hearts are much more likely to write here than those who don't: self-selection bias. Got them both three hours ago. Must have spent something around 40–60 hearts.

If I had to pull some numbers out of my ass, I'd say 2 or 3% each. But maybe I was just lucky too.

>>27144429
>but I have heard that the last few safari's have had a few 'normalizing' factors added
[citation needed]

>>27134215
>Sableye is only useful for Hoopa
Mega-Sableye, yes. Mega Sableye is garbage and I don't know why they were recommending it.

Normal Sableye is Dark-type Landorus-T, though, which will make it pretty good if it ever gets a skill booster. It wouldn't be my first choice for an RML, but it's not as garbage as it seems like it should be.

>>27146995

I can't beat it every time, but Sinister Power is really important, because it boosts the damage of the 5th mon, which if you can get purrloin to level 5 quickly, that'd help too.

>>27147145
I used atk+ and beat it 2 times to get azelf to lvl 2. Its too hard to do itemless for me.

Just caught Winkachu, what's the verdict on it? Its ability is pretty crazy.

Mission Card #10 is really easy, got all the missions in one heart each, but I left the first one because I want to keep the 5000 coins reward for when I could need

Man, even with Gengar I'm getting shit for combos in the Vespiquen stage. The skyfall stuff is totally rigged.

What items are required for Giratina 200?

>>27149562
All of them

>>27149562
Anything above 150 is all of them.

Anyone got tips for 250?

The barriers were set up in a way that it was impossible for me to make Gengar matches and get stuff out of the top row.

It only came with one free Gengar and the only column that I managed to set free only dropped Zoroark and Yveltal alternating.

Anyone have any tips for the 5 Mega Boost (Snorlax) mission? Seems like the best bet is Medicham + Pancham, but the best I've got is 4 boosts before incidental combos cause Medicham to mega evolve.

>>27153676
I used M-Latias and some Mega Boost dragon.
Medicham isn't the best choice because his own Mega Boosts increase the bar more than someone else's Mega Boost.

>>27153676
I used a completely uncandied Mega Banette and Chandelure, plus a maxed Machamp and Conkeldurr.

The ghosts aren't going to do much damage, but they will cause nice combos.
Needed a moves+5 though, had 3 moves left when I beat it.

>>27153676
AERODAYCTL and RELICANTH plus 2 fight mons.

Aero takes ages to volve and when Snorlax starts getting ridiculous with the blocks he handles them well.

That's not the issue - the problem is matching the lower MB Pokemon causes combos. Medicham isn't triggering MB at all, it's just matching within combos and filling the gauge.

It's overrated and its effect is shit, but it has a good type and base power. Often you're better off with a more dedicated disruption cleaner (e.g. Aero, Luke) or a more combo-friendly mega (e.g. Fug, MMY, Blaziken)

>>27163622

It's a solid jack of all trades. Decent disruption cleaner, decent combo maker, tolerable pre-mega ability, 80 bp and good typing. It's rarely the best mega for any given situation, but it's never flat out terrible. It's only real weakness is that it needs its candies almost as badly as M-Fug.

Any pointers for Registeel to have a decent catch rate?

>>27175000
yes, there are no evolution in shuffle; you'll capture the evolved forms once you reach their stages and level them up independently. Moreover, some pokémon like Pikachu have multiple forms. One of those (called by the game as "winking pikachu" like pointed by >>27175106) have the same power but a different ability. Again, it's counted as a different pokémon (you can use both "normal pikachu" and "winking pikachu" on the same team)

>>27175563
No pokémon evolve. You just catch their evolved forms later on.
Focus on the specials when you're able to, there's consistently better pokémon there.
Don't spend your jewels on more hearts, accumulate them to spend on sunday Meowths.

There is enough time until the next update and I caan also use Victini, so it shouldn't be too hard

>leveling up when you don't evolve
Why should I care about power

So what's everybody else doing with the recent few deadish weeks? I've been going back and catching all the pokemon from Roseus Center onward that I didn't catch in my initial rush to finish the stages. What little coin grinding I've managed to get done has been whittled away on periodic moves plus 5, disruption delays and great balls; worth it, though.

And while I'm posting, what are good mons to use skill boosters on? I'm paralyzed by choice since Charizard's Burn along with the various mind zap, sleep charm, and stabilize+ mons all seem useful.

>>27182171
Last week: escalation.
This week: mission cards & recovering the coins I lost from the escalation.

Still have a bunch of mons to S-rank and 3 Expert mons to catch. I wish AP+ was available for expert stages, would make it so much easier.

http://pastebin.com/TRCptkbp
most people didn't see it yet; Rhyperior confirmed shit, safari rates better than expected

>>27182070
tl;dr: you shouldn't
You should only bother leveling up your stronger mons. Anything that starts at lower than 70 AP is considered trash and should only be used early-game as you have no better options. Heck, even at 70 power it needs to have an useful ability. Or a mega-evolution fuck you, Mawile

Some stuff with Barrier Bash+, Block Smash+, Rock Break+ or Pixie Power are exceptions to this.

2s again here.

>Manectric is fast-match

Neat.

>>27175861
In this particular case it's a good thing, because Mewtwo-Y/MeowsticM/MeowsticF/Espeon is the best Sunday Meowth team you'll have access to for a fairly long time. (Between stages 150 and stage 373.)

we confirmed that the only new thing next week is Rhyperior, right?
I wanna spend the rest of my money on getting to Giratina 300, but if there's a lot of cool stuff next week I can forget about a couple RMLs, I guess.

>>27186203
Rhyperior and Mega Manectric repeat are the only things to worry about next week, unless you want to grind for PSB

>>27184055
Fast match allows Lando-T's highest power to be 9000 instead of 6000 now.

Does anyone know if they fixed the Snorlax mission glitch? Like, has anyone who had that glitch gone back and actually got it to register? I'm one of the ones who cleared it only for the game to be like "fuck you." I took a break from it to see if one of the patches would fix it. Now I'm trying it again and I guess that one time I pulled it off was a miracle of luck. M-Aero's my only hope but last time I tried it there were zero 4-matches of Relicanth and there weren't even five 3-matches of Relicanth (which are 50/50s anyway) before skyfall mega'd Aero.

Maybe I'll just wait and see if shiny M-Fug is just as slow to mega as the normal one.

>>27186545
Are you on mobile? I cleared it weeks ago on the 3DS version and it worked fine.

3DS

>>27186663
Can't. Gave it some candies back during the first escalation ever, for some reason me and the other guys who went to 200 were using Banette as the mega of choice

>>27186674
When more than one person selects the mission card, does the thing and it doesn't register, that's a glitch.

>>27187087
I feel like you just fucked up the counting.
Not everything is a glitch.

>>27187087
How many candies? Even with a few it's still slow as motherfuck, I got off 7 mega powers when I used it to beat this mission.

>got to Giratina 245
How bad is getting all the way to 300 going to be?

>>27186545
Look up, it was already discussed in this thread. There is no glitch, but it's pretty much impossible with M-Aero.

I did it with M-Banette, Chandelure, Gallade, Lucario. Make 4 matches if you can, otherwise match 3 and hope to get lucky. You can match Banette as the 5th mega boost if necessary.

>>27187087
How many candies? Mine has 2 and it worked fine. If you have more then try Medicham + Pancham as it requires around the same matches.

>>27187133
Maybe. Though I doubt it, since me and the other guy were recording the mega boosts as we went along until we got five.

>>27187182
Well, gave it all the candies from that escalation and tossed it a couple more before I realized it was never going to be useful again. So 6. Which makes it faster than M-Aero. I'm probably screwed. Why does this game have to punish us for using speedups on slower mega's? Things like fug, chomp, would've been perfect for this.

>>27187397
Just work out whichever one is the slowest, taking into account your speedups, and go with that.
