/shuffle/ general: Complex edition

>>27198336
first for why it took so long for a new thread?

I finished grinding Suicune to lv 15 and Bellossom to lv 10 earlier than I planned, so,since I'm at level 250 of the Escalation and almost at max coins, I'm gonna try to reach lv 300.
Any advices on levels 251-300?

>>27198431
it's not that hard until you hit 280 (which is a boss and pretty much require all items). 270+ fucks with disruptions but have low HP to compensate
281+ is where things get tricky and are probably not worth it. 290+ pretty much requires items every level (at best, you'll be using DD)

God damn it I want a M-Garchomp so bad.

Between Garchomp's availability and Camerupt being a fire type I can't help but wonder what is GS's beef with ground types.

Not to mention the first regularly obtained 70 base ground type only being available at level 205, or Pokemon you could reasonably think as being 70 being weaker than that like Golurk, Marowak or Hippowdon.

Did GS forget about the other two? Why does Landorus get so much attention, am I missing something?

>>27202189
Well, considering next week's competition is only weak to Ground, running an event for one of the strongest Ground types with the most exploitable ability to level up kind of makes sense.

If you are really far from Delphox then I guess you could do it. if you are even REMOTELY close to it, it's not worth since it's only a difference of 10 BP.

Already did it and I can't beat Registeel. Should I just cave in and buy items? Which should I use?

>>27203319
If it's that bad items are needed, if it doesn't work go for AP+, it guarantees it imo
Registeel was the first I caught in the first day this time so I don't remember the team since it was only 1 try, sorry, I guess I used MLucario

>>27203319
If you don't have Mega Blaziken then it might be tough. Buy AP+ to ensure it and have a spare 2.5-5K in case you need to buy Great Balls. This game is based on RNG so not much more I can give you as far as advice goes.

SS on Regirock, yes or no?

>>27203576
NO

>>27198351
Why didn't you make it then?

I managed to beat stage 280, but I really don't feel like continuing the Escalation to the end. I'd prefer to grind coins for the next update

best team for Azelf and Hoopa?

>>27206716
Roughly the same you already used in the escalation.

Azelf is a mothefucker though. I got tired of coming close to beat him and decided to throw in an AP+ just so I could defeat him with more than 30 secs left for a decent catch rate. I can't help but wonder if anyone is bothering to farm his PSBs.

>>27201148
no but really why would you level groudon

even donphan is better. he's one of the worst ground types

>>27206716
Hoopa is really easy with mega absol/mega sableye

I'm stuck at stages 249/250 for god knows how long, probably four or five months
How the fuck do I beat them? For some reason, stage 250 is playable even though I didn't beat 249. I think they implemented that some time ago and even before that I couldn't beat 249.
I also can't catch Gardevoir, I don't have Genesect and the specials from 25 upwards (223/230 playable), I don't have M-Rayquaza or most of the other Megas and now they even added that you have to pay coins to play the event stages and I can't figure the Meowth coin trick out (tried using M-Mewtwo and mega boosters but it's only around 6-8k gold every time)

help me, /vp/, what can I even do now? it feels like all my pokemon are too far behind to even do the normal stages, let alone the stronger special/event stages
can't even beat level 100 Giratina

/rant

>>27208444

That sounds like pretty normal rewards from the Sunday Meowth, but have you realized you can earn coins from the main stage Meowth too?

If you have, git gud at getting coins from it and build up your bank.

If you don't already know this it's stage 37 and on 3DS it starts with 3 coins on the stage and adds 2 more over the next few turns. On Mobile it can add multiple coins at a time or it can add blocks instead of coins. Either way, you should be aiming at getting 4 coins in a row and beating the stage until you get good, then try to get 5 coins in a row and beat the stage. Repeat until you have amassed wealth, usually it's 14300 coins to use all items on a stage. Losing after using all items on a regular stage means you should probably quit life, some EB's are still tough with all items though.

New Updates are Tuesday, try to enter new updates with over 80K coins. Good luck brave anon.

>>27208576
...no, I never knew that
Okay, that explains a lot
Thanks anon
Should I use the same tactic I use for Sunday's Meowth?

>>27208642
No, they are very different. You need 3 random pokemon, preferably that deal 1x damage only, plus a reliable fighting type if you don't want to risk not doing enough damage. I recommend Conkeldurr most of all because you can toy around the stage and then finish off with his ability.

Raichu..How?

>>27210989

>>27198336
TotT: Charizard, Groudon, Blatoise (his ability is better than Kyogre), Raikou and one on Zoroak to make Giratina easier before i realised C-1 removed him from the board. Whose recommended next?

Same for skill swappers? Did Raikoy, who next?

>>27208576
>Sunday Meowth
Mewtwo Y with max Mega Speedups
Psychic Pokemon with Mega Boost or Mega Boost+
Shufflemove

>Stage 37 Meowth
One Fighting Pokemon, 3 weak BP Pokemon
Try not to combo that much
Line up your coins in the 1st or 6th column, not exactly rocket science
Since they nerfed the stage you should at the minimum gun for a 4 coin match, however if Meowth shits out two coins in its earliest disruption turn you should instead go for a 5 coin match
When Meowth spawns a rock you should gun for a 4 coin match or a 3 coin match if that rock spawn in your column

>>27208444
Roserade is where the fuckery ends. Relatively easy from there onwards. Might wanna use all items on roserade for s rank plus catch rate.

Anyways special stages are where most of the good pokes are at.

All of those stages are still a pain in the ass even assuming he has M-Fug with max candies, Gallade, Raikou with Barrier Bash+ and Suicune with Block Smash+

If he's playing mobile he's even more screwed because of no M-Steelix but with the newest addition of Jirachi it helps out Mawile but still does jackshit in damage

Lv. 13 Braixen w/ Lv. 4 Stabilize+ - bp 92 mon w/ a 60/90/100 chance of removing any 2 disruptions for the price of 3 rmls and 40 points worth of skill boosters. Guess the furfags like me must be pretty happy with that. Stabilize+ is the best ability to skill boost, yes or also yes?

>>27214697
Sleep Charm is the best ability to give skill boosters to and Stabilize+ is still shit for only removing 2 disruptions. You're better off bouncing back and forth between Reshiram and Talonflame on your teams since they each remove 3 of their specific disruptions. Even if the stage has a crazy amount of Blocks and Barriers where Reshiram and Talonflame aren't enough to handle them, you're still better off just using a Disruption Delay than using Lv4 Stabilize+

Rich Meowth appears!
>>27213504
>no combo
But you still have to beat him to get the money! I just started

I only got a thousand from this meowth what is up with that, regular meowth would give me three hundred but I did way more coins than that this time

Coins use beyond great balls?

So skills are the abilities, and the boosters are permanent? Swappers switch two Pokémon abilities permanently, and do the boosts swap?

>>27216142
Are you shitting me, c-1 and MS are obligatory in some stages
>>27216198
No, if you swap an ability it starts from 0, but if you swap back to the other one it apparently kept its level

will we get more variations of pikachu? or maybe variations of the other pikaclones?

At this point is it worth spending coins for the last ten levels of the escalation or it's better keeping them for the next update?

>>27216112
Use Sawk for Meowth and arrange it so you can make a four match on the last turn. Hands down the best mon for damage control there.

I used to bring Conkeldurr in the past, but it's only later into the game and LDE is now too strong after being buffed.

Is there benefits to having friends in this game?

>>27221063
No, just like in real life.

>>27208642
For Sunday Meowth I use Mega Mewtwo Y with three psychic mega boosters. Before that I used Mega Gengar with ghost mega boosters. If you don't have that, use a team that does not replace or delay disruptions.

For stage 37, I use a fighting type, a ghost type, and two neutrals I want to level up. Having a ghost type is good if you've done too much damage and only want to deal small hits.

Good luck and happy farming anon!

Yes, having friends will give you a few extra hearts every day.

>TotT
I haven't used any. I'm sitting on four at the moment.

I take it Azelf isn't worth skillgrinding at all? I can't remember but does paralysis only last one turn? If that's the case, Uxie's and Mesprit's abilities last longer and have a better proc rate (well, Sleep Charm is slightly less on a 3 match but it increases by a lot more at higher skill levels).

Anyway, I'm gonna do Giratina 300 next batch of hearts, looks like blocks are added as a fifth pokemon. Does this mean the Gengar/Sinister Power team isn't the best? Might just go with the standard optimized Giratina team I use on most levels.

>>27224730
Paralyze (10%, 30%, 80%; Increased Activation by +5%, +8%, +10%, +15%)

Sleep Charm (5%, 30%, 80%; Increased Activation by +10%, +15%, +18%, +25%)

Mind Zap (10%, 40%, 100%; Increased Activation by +5%, +10%, +20%, +25%)

Worst of the 3, still has the lowest activation %. Utter shit.

It was the only RML-able Ground type at the time. I didn't think that Lando-T reruns or Donphan SS would happen so soon.

Level 5 Quake should still be somewhat useful until Kingdra reruns.

>>27213507
>>27213629
While he's wrong to say it ends after Roserade, he's right that it does become substantially easier on average just because the 'difficult' stages are marginally easier and have a shitload of easy filler stages between them.

That said, even though Roserade is probably the worst non-boss stage (or at least close to it), I'd argue that the fuckery persists until Deoxys. The 251-260 stretch is mostly easier than what came before it, but it's still pretty mean compared to the average stage after it.

Raichu, Plusle, Minun, Pachirisu, and Dedenne also get Winking forms. Pichu and Emolga do not. If you consider Marill relevant, both it and Azumarill get Winking forms but Azurill does not.

>>27221063
Only in the mobile version, and not enough to outweigh being on the mobile version.

>>27225761
It takes the lowest amount of skill boosters to raise! And gains levels fairly quickly early on.

>waste 2000 coins on a mega start for fucking Gengar

It wasn't a waste if your victory was that close, anon. Even the two seconds it'd take to evolve Gengar could've made a difference.

30k, so basically 15k because I need everything but Mega Start for 300.

>>27198336

No one yet. I only have 7 RMLs right now since I barely play anymore, but I will probably give some to Charizard whenever I need him.

>>27232792
>barely play anymore
H...How did you do it? How did you escape?

>>27232996
Not him but it's pretty repetitive and can get stale easily, especially if you're stuck on a level.

>>27232996
I S-ranked every stage, caught every released pokémon, completed every mission that isn't complete bullshit, and have like 80k coins. With the minihearts I get from friends I can easily get 60-70 hearts every week to complete safaris and at least reach level 100 on escalations - and I don't see any reason to go further than that since I already maxed out every relevant mega and have some spare RMLs and SSs.

But with the new main stages coming in a week I'll finally have a reason to play some more.

>>27233002
I actually find this quite enjoyable for a Jewish mobile game. There's quite a bit of strategy in choosing the team to optimally beat a stage with, although optimise usually works well enough, and the stages are often unique. The luck part does kill it a bit but even then a good team or setting up a match can make up for that. Plus the constant event stages means theres almost always something to do.

>>27233191
this

when escalations have been a new thing, it was obligatory to get to 200/300. But now it barely matters...

any oldfags here remember first escalation ever?? giratinas wild ride?? :^)

>>27234239
Oh yes I do.
I remember it had the maximum prize was at Lv.100 for a MSU. No one did dare to go over 50, since 51~99 were the same as 50 (a boss stage with 5 mons)
Back then, 18 turns and 26k HP with disruptions evert 3 turns were too much. But let's face it, we didn't have Darkrai, Hydreigon, M-Absol and much decent stuff at all.

Putting it into perspective: Lv.100+ on the first Giatina escalation was the same as 51~60 in the last rerun...

>99500 coins

Just remembered after my post that I still have to do Heatran, Gothorita and Yveltal (as well as two missions for 5000 coin rewards I've been saving up=

Winking Raichu is a hoax, right?
You can tell me any time; I want to stop looking for it if it doesn't exist.

How many coins will I likely have to spend for Azelf?

I currently have about 21k saved up and everything for the week caught besides Azelf.

I said fuck it after stage 100 though for Giratina because I'm bad at timed events and was only clearing the leveling stages with 6-13 seconds left so I didn't think I'd make it to 150.

>>27235963
Ah, I see. Good luck with those then.

>>27238744
Good. I wonder if I can get an MSU with Mega Gengar, Groudon, Landorus T and Rhyperior.

>>27239205
Why not try beating yvetal mission without jewels instead

I'd stopped at Giratina 290 and conformed myself to not beating 300 this time, but then my 30k were looking at me like "you know we're overkill for a competition and Rhyperior, right?", so I just spend a good chunk of it on a final attempt at getting to 300 and beating it.
And I did it.
Was it a good idea?
I have 6k now.

>>27239509
Has anyone managed that yet? I had a pretty good run with MS and +10, won with 0s left, and still didn't get it. Right now I'm leveling up my Cloud Clear super-effectives, in the hope I can wait a tad longer clearing clouds before starting up the combos meant to defeat him.

>>27239551
Just think for yourself how many coins you spent on five measly RMLs.

But maybe we'll get some more useful mons to use them on in a few months, besides the current three.

>>27240263
I'm up to 21 RMLs now, not counting the already maxed Charizard, Groudon, Raikou, and Zoroark.
I wanted to be ready so I guess it was worth it.

>>27240379

Well, at least you have enough RMLs to make up for this fuckup.

>>27240453
Care to share which are the ones I should max, in order of urgency?

Raikou was urgent for the M-Gyarados competition, still useful now
Suicune

All the others range from not really worth it to utter crap.

>>27231234

Specifically, 12. In addition to the ten pictured, there's also a Santa Pikachu and a Sleepy Pikachu.

>>27241393
Is there a new version of that compilation of every icon in Pokémon Shuffle?

PSSE update fucking when?

>>27238711
I went from around 40k last Thursday to over 90k today from Meowth (lv37 plus the 4 Sunday runs).

Playing just a few times a day it's easy. 5 sets of 5 hearts a day is easily 8000-13000 coins a day depending on luck and gitting gud.

Fuck the Yveltal mission, just wait for the inevitable "removes clouds (Max 10)" mega (Pidgeot most likely).

3DS gets 10-25k a day depending on how often you check in and how often you get a 530. I personally get like 12-16k a day, it's really not that hard to grind up coins, it takes under a week to get into the 50k range.

What team do you guys use to grind on the regular Meowth stage?

>>27246674
Anything that does neutral damage plus a PO4+ Pokemon. Once the PO4+ Pokemon max out I switch to either a fighting type or Hitting Streak/Last-Ditch Effort/L Match/T Match/+ Match. I find fighting types way too volatile though, a single combo with them in it means like a third of Meowth's health instantly gone when it's already hard enough to keep him alive at times more than it is killing him.

Yeah, I'm fucked

>>27247037
Implying that isn't exactly """""genius""""" sonority would do

>>27244627
Personally I hate grinding Meowth, because sometime shit is just against you, ironically in that you'll get an awesome combo and kill it in one turn.

I prefer Amphy grinding, just because ou can make a team of non-SE and it turns into an actual challenge trying to beat it.

>>27247453
I hate Amphy grinding due to the first 15 turns. Even with a Barrier + it takes ages to get out of it and then you have to get a Garchomp up. It takes like three to five minutes a run and it gets annoying.

>>27247453
But you can't really grind coins on Amph. I prefer Amph too but it's practically impossible to beat quite a few stages itemless, so Meowth farming is pretty much required in order to progress.
>>27247651
Protip: Try bringing something with Mind Zap.

Only five more minutes senpai. :^)

inb4 M-Manectric will have a Rhyperior disruption

>ended up spending more hearts on mission card 10 than it'd have taken me to grind 5000 coins on Meowth
JUST

So who do I give to Victini?

Use Mega Glalie for Rhyperior. Gets rid of all the disruptions.

>Every time I play Victini with Moves + 5 I win with 5 moves left exactly.
>Every time I don't I lose.
I hate you Victini.

Bring a DD to Rhyperior, he's an absolute asshole.

>>27247884
So all items?

>>27247893
Nah. DD + AP most certainly though. You might be able to Glacie it if you just take AP, but he's got a bunch of HP to deal with.

>>27247903
Which Mega other than Glalie?

>>27247906
Whoops, meant Glalie. Glalie is probably your best bet as he makes a barrier disruption that's pretty much half the board in a V shape every three turns on top of summoning a Whimsicott if you make a combo higher than two.

>>27247921
So M-Glalie, Whimsicott and who else?

>>27247931
Whimsicott is only if you don't DD him. If you do DD him Whimsicott isn't needed. Palkia is mandatory, take whatever else you want after that.

>>27247884
The hell? I beat it itemless with Palkia, SS Suicune, Glalie (All Lvl 10) and Whimsicott (Lvl 1) and had 7 moves left

>>27247884
Went with a M-Sceptile team and it was pretty easy. Defeated it with 6 moves left and caught it on the first great ball. Thanks Shaymin.

>>27247906
Ray works alright for the starting config since it has a decent shot of removing the pokemon behind barriers, and since this is a four pokemon stage you can combo up a storm with DD.

>>27247978
>>27247986
What's your catch rate?

Shuffle is a fickle pseudorandom mistress

>>27247978
Lost with AP+ on Shiny M. Gyarados, Palkia, Kyurem, and Roserade all maxed. Nearly lost with the same team on DD + AP+ as well.

>>27247991
Beat it with like six or seven moves left, catch rate was 37%.

Beat it with M Glalie (6), Milotic (8), Liligant (5), and Whimsicott (1). Used an MS.

>>27247991
Don't even remember because I wasn't paying that much attention, I just saw the fucker get out of the Pokéball and threw the Great Ball, but I believe it was somewhere between 37% with 7 moves left

>Bellossom is hearts
At least it'll save me some money. I remember this stage being a bitch to do itemless. Teams?

Should I even bother with the hell that is Bellosom?Surely there must be better ways to raise Mind Zap.

>>27248350
Get it to level 2/3

Have they made any Skill Booster L available yet?

>>27248257
I did about 15 runs and only failed once with Charizard Y, Flareon, Rotom-H and Lugia
Bitch only dropped one PSB after al those tries so it's probably not worth grinding, fucking drop rates only keep getting worse

>>27248257
Fug/Lugia/Whatever

If you don't have a fully-fed Fug, Charizard-Y or Obama might be viable I guess. Lugia's the only thing that can help you though, otherwise.

Since I had max coins, I decided to do a full item run on M-Manectric with M-Garchomp, Groudon, Landorus-T and Golurk: 117332.
I also caught Rhyperior, so this week I have nothing more to do

Didn't remember Bellossom to be such a pain in the ass.

Thought M-Scizor should be a good choice, but it takes too long to evolve and disruptions easily fuck everything up.

M-Fug doesn't sound all that great on a 7-mon stage either.

Wait, I thought for Bellosom the strategy was to bring Oddish/Gloom/Vileplume and let it combo itself to death and use either Mega Charizard Y or Mega Sceptile for your mega?

Also how much of a bitch is Palkia going to be?

>Go straight to Rhyperior for the competition
>Look at the whimscott disruption, think I'm fucked since its another mega hoenn stage
>Other disruption is Literal MGlalie bait
>Mega Start it and catch with 33% next try
ayy thanks my genius sonority overlords

Don't let the new trailer hype send us to page 10

What should my team be for the Mega Manectric comp? I have access to everything up until Mega Medicham.

>>27247037
>worst
It would be pretty useful on timed levels where you can't check all the icons before moving them.

>>27252383
Ideally M-Garchomp paired with max skill Lando-T + SS Donphan. 4th your next most powerful ground type, though not Lando-I given its a fast match stage.

>Mega Start is finally back for a competition

>>27252773
Is it really worth use a SS on Donphan? Ground Forces is pretty meh

>>27253593
Pretty much only if you're a supremefag who also cheats in Skill Boosters. In which case you should go fuck yourself.

Four of five people in the EU top 5 have Fug/Landorus-T/Garchomp/Groudon, one fag uses Phanpy and Donphan instead.

I only did an itemless run so far (with Camerupt instead of Groudon) for 37k points. Who knows, that might even be enough for the speedup in the end.

>>27253593
In conjunction with max skill boosted Lando-T, yes.

Did any of you get lucky with the bellossom's drops? I've been using all my hearts on this stage since the update and got absolutely nothing...

>>27255343
I lose more often than I win, but I've seen drops at least 5 times and only got 2

Char-Y, Lugia, Heatran and Gloom have worked pretty well for me so far.

>>27256467
For Bellossom, I mean.

I'm gonna stop at lv 3 for Bellossom and lv 2 for Palkia

>>27257252
>Only killed Palkia once
0 moves left too, what's your team anon?

>>27257342
M-Fug, Raikou, Shaymin and Virizion

>>27257342
I've been using M-Manectric (candied), Shaymin (Sleep Charm L3), Virizion and Zekrom.

>Out of money from attempts to do main stages
>Use final rml and second to last skill swapper from Giratina-o stage on Phanpy. Still need 4 more rmls to get it to max.
>Get it to level 11
>New special stages come out
>Lando-T skill booster for risk-taker

Well at least I am making progress on main stages.
>Get to Gardevoir

I know what 2 stages I am going to be playing constantly this week.

>Bellossom is only dropping one PSB every five hearts
This is not okay.

>>27259170
I'm in the exact same boat you're in, anon. Beat Gardevoir pretty easily but it's abysmal catch rate is going to drain me. At least I got Lando T to lvl 3.

It's better to go fast for the risk taker damage or use move in this competition?

What was the first move for Bellosom?

>>27263190
D4 > B6.

>>27263255
Thanks.

Why the hell was that Mega Absol on Gengar's stage mission on card 10 so stupidly hard?
Took me like 10 hearts

>>27259170
>>Use final rml and second to last skill swapper from Giratina-o stage on Phanpy.
Literally why? Also did you just started playing yesterday or something, this is like the 35729th time Landorus-T comes out, it probably hasn't even been a month since the last time

>>27264908
>>27259170
I wanted Phanpy to be good with power of 4+. Also the last time Landorus-T was around was the first time I made an effort to try and catch it.

Palkia itemless?

>Finally get Winkachu

I'm free...

>Looks at drained coins from escalation

The grind never ends, huh?

How long until we get Hoenn Starter megas rotation again? I'm still mad and sad I missed them by like a month

>>27269448
>Hoenn Starter megas

Fuck off, we still don't have M-Steelix and M-Gardevoir

>>27270748
We just got M-Gerdevoir in the last competitive stage. We in the meantime still don't have M-Beedrill, M-Pinsir, and some others.

>>27270748
>Mega Gardevoir
She literally just had a rerun, we're missing Steelix and Charizard X, not like anyone's gonna use the later but fuck, I just want to have all available stones already
We also need Flying and Poison Megas already, fuck this bullshit Manectric rerun, they could've just added the nigger as a prize for clearing a Mission Card, not like anyone gives a fuck about Manectric anymore with Ampharos getting Mega Boost from the Skill Swappers

What happens if you try to select another Mission Card while in the middle of another one?
Does the game tell you to go fuck yourself because you've already got one in progress? Does the progress from the first Mission Card get erased? Does it save your progress and let you continue it later? Can you have both cards active at the same time?
I'm yet to complete Yveltal's mission, but the Exp. Booster L and the 5000 Coins would come in handy

>>27271253
It lets you switch over and keeps all progress.

>>27271268
Thanks m8, just finished the Mission Card

640KB, 1152x1024px

These are all the Pokémon I've gotten to Level 10 so far, anything else I should bother grinding?
I was thinking the Legendary Birds, the Lake Guardians, Dragonite, Espeon, Bisharp, Terrakion, Gigalith, Braviary and Volcarona (All Level 5+) along with any useful Megas that get released
To be honest I don't think there's much more useful stuff left, maybe Mamoswine and Walrein as well? I'm also yet to catch Roserade and every EX Pokémon from Arcanine onwards and my autism is telling me to grind Chesnaught as well since Delphox and Greninja are already Level 10

The drop rate on Bellossom is awful. I'm stopping as soon as I reach lv 2

>>27270856
>wasting a Skill Swapper on Ampharos

So wanna place any bets on if Sceptile gets a SS to Hitting Streak to not be as useless as it currently is?

>>27274149
That's dumb, you're dumb.

So is it worth grinding skill boosters for Landorus?

>>27274149
Sceptile's ability is only useful for the short time before it mega evolves, so Vitality Drain is actually pretty great for a mega. Unless you're on a competition stage of course.

>>27274423
Maxed risk taker is fucking glorious, plus ground is SE against multiple types in shuffle.
Definitely do it if you have the coin.

>>27274678
Well I got it to level 2 so far, but it costs me 1900 coins per try, so it's kinda expensive.

>>27274478

I know this is anecdotal evidence but for me I'd never seem to have Vitality Drain trigger. What's the actual percentages for it? Is it rare to trigger outside of a five match or am I unlucky?

>>27274714
Risk-Taker (50%, 70%, 100%; Increased Damage by x1.5, x1.8, x2, x2.5)
If you can't beat it consistently without wasting too many coins i'd stop at 2. x1 to x1.5 is value enough.

>>27274793
Vitality Drain (5%, 20%, 50%; Increased Activation by +5%, +10%, +20%, +30%)

>>27274796
I can beat it consistently with DD. Maybe M+5 is enough.

What IS the best team anyway? I've used M-Glalie, Kyurem, Palkia and Suicune

>>27274848
M-Swamp, Palkia, Kingdra, and ashninja/gorebyss/manaphy. Usually beat it with 5-8 moves remaining itemless.
I've heard that M-scep teams do well too but never tried it personally before.

>>27274908
I'll give that a try
>Kingdra
Mine is still level 1, probably need to substitute that

>>27274952
Actually, Kingdra is mvp for this stage.
Whirlpool has decent activation rates even on a 3-match.
I'd invest some exp boosters or amphy runs to get Kingdra to 3 or 4 before attempting lando, but if you have normal greninja/bellossom/gorebyss at higher levels you could try using those to stop disruptions instead.

>>27270748
No need to be angry anon, I'm honestly just asking, I want Steelix just as much as you and they gave us MCY as backup already

486KB, 1364x1280px

Hey anon, what's your current score and place? Did you use move?

>>27276579

Currently 92K, didn't use move around 250 the last time I checked. Nervous that it isn't gonna be enough, but I've already made 10 runs desu

Does using M+5/T+10 reduce catch rate?

>>27277066
The increased moves/time doesn't count toward increasing catch rate, so if you finish with 5 moves left, it's the same as 0

>>27276579
Score of 89,831 without shufflemove
834th place as of right now

I could have gotten a better score but there was one turn where I tried to match some Mega Rayquaza, but accidentally grabbed a Groudon, matched that, and didn't get a combo. Also, I feel like I should have used shufflemove for the turn where there weren't any Rayquaza on the board. At least they bumped up the 1st tier of prize placements from 5k to 10k so I may or may not get the RML, but I don't really care that much about those anyway.

>>27272388
How did you make that list?

>>27274848

I'm using Mega Swampert (8), Milotic (8), Kyogre (7), and Manaphy (5). The three support Pokemon help remove all disruptions and Mega Swampert dishes out the damage. I can beat the stage about 95% of the time itemless.

>>27274848
I got my LandorusT to 4 with full water team (Palkia, Suicune with BS+, Kingdra) and Mega Swampert. The combos are insane if they land before his disruptions.

>>27278200
>>27274848

oh yeah, and I can do it itemless, usually 3-6 moves left always.

>>27276579
99K, #125
No

>>27274714
Lv3 is pretty glorious already, so that's worth doing. Anything after that is kind of diminishing returns, based on how much effort you need to put in.
