/Shuffle/ General: Preparing for a new Survival Mode Edition

M Blaziken is a lot of fun. Is anyone else using him in this safari?

>>33062773
Isn't it a bit early? The other one is barely at page 6. And the caret face could have been hidden better, maybe with another trashcan but nonetheless it's pretty relevant. Good job OP.

Getting a bit anxious as I don't really know what to bring this time for Butterfree, I want to get it over with tonight. Maybe Gigalith or Entei?

>>33062807
tried it, but it didn't work out too well

>>33062773

Any recommendations for S-Ranking Mega Gallade? It is literally the only stage I need to S-Rank... Again...

>>33062807
Seems to be the best choice for most of the stages when combined with a skill swap, but it a bad idea to use it to go after Venomoth.

>>33062921

I'll remember to wait for a bit longer before starting a new thread

Regarding Butterfree, Gigalith has Block Smash+ so I'm not sure about its utility on a Pokemon that drop nothing but Rocks

>>33062807

It doesn't work too well in some of the Safari stages due to initial and subsequent disruptions

>>33063029

Perhaps Sky Blast team with Shiny Fug?

Fairy type LDE when? I'd give it to Clefable or Wigglytuff as a 2nd skill along with the ability to take RMLs.

Finally caught Butterfree but of course I had to chug a GB for it (at least it got a SCP).

Tried Meloetta 4 more times until I got left with 94 coins. Out of those won 1 time, while the others were fairly close, as far as 100 points to get it done.
So I'll instead bust my wallet as full as I can and next week I'll rape it's ass with my leveled up team.

Got Venomoth with a GB and Butterfree with a pokeball, today's going pretty well. Now I just need Wormadam.

How do you guys beat Serperior? I feal reluctant to use items with the shitty non-SCP catch rate, but I only finish it maybe 20% of the time. And I have no idea what exactly are the triggers for that board reset that completely cockblocks my run.

I'm also sure that shit even is bugged in timed stages and occurred just within an M-SFug activation where I could just stare at the screen and not do anything.

>>33062773
>>New Survival Mode starting on 7/25
wew, I havent even finished the normal survival mode because GS refuses to repeat MBee and Machamp.

Ree I cant find Venonat and its the last mon I need

>>33064374
found him twice, failed to beat him because his disruptions are fucking retarded.

Anyone here farming Nosedive for Ho-oh instead of Meloetta? I'm kinda curious.

FUCK this safari

>>33064437
why not both?

does anybody have an idea if the new safari will have no first time rewards? if so, whats a quick way to, maybe not beat, but get decently far in the current SM without mbee and a full flashmob team?

>>33064448
>will have no first time rewards?
meant to say new.

>>33064444
Nosedive takes 120 boosters to max out with a 0.25 droprate though, so farming it with DRI up during the weekend might be more efficient. I spent around 50k just to get Meloetta to SL4.5 and don't have many coins left.
Also, nice get.

>>33064466
>DRI up during the weekend
whats the cost of said dri?

also I only plan on grinding her to 5, since its a huge fucking step. I might leave her and ho oh at 4 and feed them cookies.

>>33064448
It says in the notice that the rewards and stages will be completely revamped. And if I recall correctly before Bee the hottest mon to try Survival were M-Fug, Hoops, Machamp and Lando-T, then Lando got replaced gradually by Emboar, and then Fug went to shit too when Bee came.

>>33064474
2 Jewels for 24 hours, and yeah 50 PSB from SL4 to 5 is harsh as hell.
I'm still on the fence regarding Ho-oh because my Emboar and Heatran are already maxed but a max Emboar/Ho-oh/Heatran burst team sounds glorious.

>>33064476
I have a maxed out Fug, and a maxed out Hoops, my lando-T isnt quite maxed out in levels so I might replace him, my Volcanion is maxed out, I'm not sure how good his coverage in SM is though. As for other Risk takers, I have emolga at level 12 SL5, what about him? Also how do LDE mons do in SM?

>>33064491
>2 Jewels
well, no DRI for me then.

>>33062807
basically you want to bring mbee to all stages

except the ones where you can use mfug or smfug. or thos every specific ones like meloetta with mdiancie/mzam

>>33064680
Stop telling me to bring mbee places. GS has decided they don't want me to have it.

>>33064374
and yet shufflefriedns wondered, why I tossed a SCP great ball at it...

>>33064437
shufflefriend to the service. how may I assist you?

this safari is pure cancer and im so close to just give it up since i already got venomoth

>>33063660

I'm saving up to 20k and then just doing a full item run except for C-1. Enough for 2 great balls as well. Still debating on my team though.

>>33064713
What's your justification for levelling Ho-oh's Nosedive over Melotta's? Just wondering.

>>33064864
If you're talking about Melo just take into consideration that you'll burn the first 2 turns on matching Meloetta and removing the 4 frozen rocks at the top which is annoying af. I'd recommend S-Ray and your best 3 SE mons, preferably Azu/Xern/Mewtwo, or go with a skyblast team.

>>33064901
I fully invested in waifu as soon as we got it :^)

>>33064662
That's not the old OP, he's a new one.

>>33064907
It's a pity that Green Melo is almost unusable.

>>33064901

Currently looking like Shiny Ray, Xern, Mewtwo, and Deoxys. Supports are maxed, all sl1 or 2 though. Shiny fug only at lvl 5 and I'm not great with it yet.

How good are LDE memes on survival mode?

>>33064956

Lifesavers.

>>33064972
I'm trying to get all the first time SM rewards before they go away next week and I'm trying to build the best possible team for it. So far I've only maxed Lando-t and Hoopa from the commonly recommended SM mons. Azumarill isn't near done, and I don't have Machamp nor MBee. I was thinking Mfug as a mega and for my 4th slot Regirock, since it has good coverage and is my only grinded LDE mon.

I only have Venonat left to catch, should I throw a GB when I find it? The EB fucked me up hard and only have 24K coins left.

>>33065021
>Ebs are better than comps.

>>33065031
implying I don't also get at the very least rank 2 in every comp

>>33065044
most people on here aparently don't, atleast thats what I'm reading.

>>33065056
well I spent a lot of time grinding this game and I am only missing some shitmons from the main stages and Golem so I get high scores all around.

Why is Diancie so based? After Gengar/Bee/Fug/S-Fug/Aggron/Mewtwo I'd say Diancie should be next in line. Seriously useful Pokemon with good damage output as well.

I finally caught all the pokemon in this safari. Now I will grind Meloetta, but I wish it wasn't so expensive

At least there's new shinies too.

>>33065146
What new shinies? I cant seem to spot them

>>33065169
Diancie, Xerneas, Yveltal, Mewtwo, and Hippowdon wtf. That's all I could spot.

>>33065196
Hasn't mewtwo been in there for a while tho?

what are the hard stages on SM I should use items on just to be safe?

>>33065255
Has it? My bad then, haven't checked the sprite list in a few months.

>>33065281
Nothing's too hard with Bee actually. Off the top of my head the stages that can sometimes fuck you over are M-Mawile/M-Gengar/Amphy/Zoroark/Nidoking/M-Altaria/M-Glalie. I'm sure there's a few more depending on your team composition.

>>33065347
I dont have Bee

>>33065429
Then go with Heracross>Diancie>Fug. What's your team anyway?

>>33065502
for now I went with:

MAX M-Sfug 11/15 MSU, MAX Hoopa-U SL5, 10 Lando-T SL5 and 10 Regirock SL4.

First time attempting SM, lets see how it goes.

>Finally caught Wormadam-T after 4 encounters and be free of this Hell

>>33065568

>Regirock

You do realize that you only get +5 moves after clearly each Stage right? Do you have any other good burst damage dealer?

I can't be assed grinding memedive. Not worth it.

>>33065031
They are.

>>33065196
Aren't you mistaking the female/male variants for shiny with Hippo?

>>33066016
emolga sl5 at level 12, volcanion maxed, greninja sl3 at level 11, meloetta sl3 at level 12. thats about all of them, I decided to go with regirock since couple of people said LDE did pretty well in SM in the later parts.

Spent the whole day trying to catch fucking Serperior. How the fuck do I beat this piece of shit? Tried bringing my (only SL1) Heatran for LDE, but sometimes it just resets the board in the last second, sometimes it doesn't. How the fuck does that disruption work?

>>33066954
>How the fuck do I beat this piece of shit?
you don't

I knew Winking Carbink would be useful. MB+ is nice for farming Ho-oh.

>>33066821
> female/male variants
Huh, that's neat. Only knew about the Nidos, Combee and Pyroar before this. Did I miss anything else?

whats your guys safari team? I cant seem to beat wormadam and venonat with mine...

>>33067608

>Couldn't even take a minute or so to screencap your Client ID and store it somewhere safe
>Decides to start all over again anyway instead of freeing yourself from Shuffering Hell

icameheretolaughatyou.jpg

If you at least have your Client ID somewhere, you can at least contact Pokemon CS to give you a transfer code once you answer a few questions

>>33067612

I just use Shiny Gyarados, Ho-oh, and Reshiram since I have to grind the first two (only acquired them recently) and Reshiram is generally useful for Barrier Bash+

>>33067634
>I just use Shiny Gyarados, Ho-oh, and Reshiram

any you managed to beat wormadame and venonat?

>>33067645

Yes, it usually takes only two moves at most to take care of Venonat. Wormadam-T generally takes longer due to the higher HP and initial disruptions, but I can beat it with at least two moves left with those two Fire Pokemons (remember to SS Ho-oh to Pyre or Nosedive)

>>33067612
I used M-Bee, Emboar and Heatran.

Also, I may have discovered a bug. Twice now in the 300s of the EB, I've started with two pre-made matches on the board. The first was when the starting board made a vertical 3 match and a vertical 4 match of Dusknoir and the second had a vertical 3 match of Hoopa on the right side, and a vertical 3 match of Heracross on the other (which triggered MB+, causing me to mega on turn zero). This happen to anyone else?

>>33067658
gotcha, I failed the stage once with gengar ho-oh and reshiram, so I replaced gengar with a fast evolving tapper but that didn't work well...

>>33067672

So how did it not work anyway? Do they still not become Mega fast enough or is it something else? The bigger problem I see with the tappers is that they are NVE against either one or the other types

M-Camerupt: NVE against Bug types
M-Rayquaza/Ttar/Aggron/Bee: NVE against Wormadam-T

Either way I hope you catch it eventually so you can be spared of this Hell

>>33068647
>? Do they still not become Mega fast enough or is it something else?
I just got fucked and nothing comboed and BB+ didn't trigger.

>>33066857
>LDE did pretty well in SM in the later parts.
yes. for dusknoir. As it literally one-shots mgengar and mmy due to being se

dont expect to have the same experience with regirock. but nontheless you should be able to win SM, even if you gotta waste a DD on some of the megas.

>>33067279
>bulbapedo

>>33067452
>>33067478
its bad, but not that unmanageable. usually you use around 15-20 turns on it_

>>33067663
should be due to starting board.

>>33067663
also pretty much this is best safari team to use.

Darkrai has been popping Sleep Charm non stop onew. This is the first Escalation Battle I have a chance of defeating. How fucked am i next week when the luck runs out?

>>33069456
you'll be fucked when you don't get sinister power or phantom combo to trigger this friday. prepare for hell.

Hola compa

>>33064344
Mega Heracross (MB+ and at least 7/8 MSU), Ashninja and two Nosedive/Risk-Takers. Should be doable

If you prefer meme route, take the same Mega Hera and pair with Caterpie, Vivillon Pokéball (hopefully, using 3 SBM for SL4 each) and Masquerain/Shuckle/Yanmega for last slot

>>33069908

Not him, but are the MSUs mandatory? I have around 30 MSU and haven't used it on anyone yet, so I'm not sure who should I spend them on since I don't want to waste them on bad memes

>>33069940
Not really mandatory, but Heracross is a decent mega and can go up turn 1 with at least 7/8 if it triggers MB+

>>33069680
spicy!

also f

>>33069940
first: gengar

after that it depends on how far you are in the main stages.
do you have fug? if yes. candy her
if you got aggron, candy him first

>>33070014

I'm at around 460 and I gave Gengar the one MSU ages ago, so no M-Aggron yet.

>Spoilers

whatthefuckisthisshit.jpg

>>33070045
are you missing a lot of s-ranks?

candying fug, a tapper and have 12 for the bee is what you want to focus on.

what tapper depends on what you have. decent ones are shiny fug and aggron. ttar is also good, but a lil bit slow and hence wont help you as much with sranks

also not knowing based spoiler genders meme
wew shuffelfriend

Ended up using shufflemove to aid Meloetta farming. The last time I had to do this was when Lando-T got its PSB stage for the very first time.

Just beat Mew 400 with an all items run. I think I'll stop here. 64k coins left and the safari is done so I'm back to the cat.

>Giratina just failed to activate sinister power on a 5 match

Finally got Meloetta to SL5. Cost me in excess of 65k and 1 SBM. Easily the worst and most frustrating experience I've ever had in shuffle.

>>33070014
>>33070073
Not him, but should MSU priority go to Fug or Shiny Fug?

>>33072013
Do you have any other tappers? If not, SFug. Beedrill should be even higher priority if you have it, though.

Ok so
Im only at Shinx in main stages
Didnt s-rank everything yet
What tips do you have for me shuffle friends?

>>33072307
Stages 246-250 are gonna be a real doozy so save coins for that. Also, don't worry too much about S ranking stages for now, the list of Expert mode pokes that matter in the short term and are useful while still uninvested end at Gallade.

>>33073378

Play for a long time, competitions.

I'm starting to think Meloetta might be more reliable than Machamp for SM. Sucks when a 4 match RT on a SE mon does 3 digit damage.

>>33074556
sucks when nosedive doesnt trigger.
feels good when RT does 2k dmg on a 3match.

By gitgud in EBs and Comps

>>33074622
Actually, I don't think it matters anyway. I never get procs even when a 4 match is supposed to be 70%.
Also, I hope the new SM doesn't involve stages from Albens Town and Roseus Centre. Imagine Roserade being a regular SM stage.

>>33074703
well actually the pic is still true. since we got no new alola mons, just the ones we already got.

nontheless with next week update we get new alolas. so lets enjoy this picture for a few more days

:^)

>>33069852

Oe parce

what the fuck is wrong with dusknoir?
using it to grind some shekels and it deals 660 damage on a 4match with lde (lv9, skill lv4)

>>33074765
inb4 new SM will just be stage 150 onwards. with even more hp

>>33074879
They buffed it two months or so ago. SL4 deals 10× damage, SL5 15×. It's a great nuker now.

>>33074988
yeahh i know.. but I never expected for the fucker to be this good. its almost on the same level as my l20 lv5 po4 mewtwo with 700 damage. And despite being not lv15 nor being on lde lv5

Blocked at 292 right now. And been for some time. I can't actually find the courage to overcome this shit.

>used 2 GB on Wormadam at 95% SCP
>only burmy missing now
>Wormadam again

what did I do to deserve this?

Hitmonlee's shot out has a 100% chance of doing 8x damage on a 4 match at SL5 (120PSB). If only I had more coins I might have fallen for the meme.

+5, DD, MS, A+. Caught on first attempt at 35% I think. 10 moves left (5 technically). MMY, Cress, Deoxys, Xern.

I don't like wasting the coins on partial item runs or be fucked when it comes to GB's so I just save up.I did one trial run to see how S-Fug would work but I wasn't feeling it.

not gonna die today

What team are people beating Venomoth with? Fuego burst damage Risk Takers or Paralyze/Sleep/Mind Zap (with Gengar?)? His disruptions kicked my ass the first time and don't want to miss him a 3.33rd time.

>>33076785

I doubt anyone is even gonna get 200k for the Mewtwo challenge. How the fuck did GS think 250k was achievable in the first place.

>>33079865
Don't underestimate payfags, savescummers, cheaters (shufflemovers, ultraslowmo mobilefags) and luckfags. They must have tested this stuff beforehand so the goal should be achievable as long as you keep smashing your head against the event and keep throwing coins.

>>33079865
Speaking of Mewtwo, when is it coming? Next week?

>>33079941
Right now, mobile only.

>>33079941
I think it's out for mobile but not for DS at the moment. At least the DS players get to save their coins instead of throwing it at Mewtwo.

>>33079941
it is already there lad

>>33079946
>>33079948
>>33079949
Ah, im a ds player so thats why I was asking

I managed to get 42k on mewtwo itemless, surely should easily get over 100k with m+5 and apu and shufflemove

Dd might be a waste because half of the disruptions give team tokens that might start nice combos.

>>33076895

>>33079865
my itemless try got me 31k.
A good all items run with tappers and type boosters sure will get above the 200k. nontheless you will have to waste too many shekels trying to get the last prize and is most likely not worth it.
I'm personally setting for ~120k

>>33079885

>>33080737
>A good all items run with tappers and type boosters
I'm gonna bet that the top team consists of Mimikyu, Lunala and Dusknoir with a Gengar or Ttar. Personally I got 125k with Fug/Hoopa-U/Yveltal/Zoroark.

So from what I gathered, the first two tiers are basically unattainable, 150k only gives you another skill swapper (which you should have at least a dozen of) and 120k all in all only gives you 3 SBM, 1 MSU and some crap.

So nothing of value lost for 3DS players. Good.

>>33080867
Just get 20 more PSBs, and cookie it to SL5 with the Mewtwo prizes :^)

>>33080869
To me, the cookies are the main prizes though. I unironically prefer SBs over MSUs and RMLs, and getting 3 of them is nice.

>>33080869
well to be fair. you guys are missing out of 1000 coins. all you need to do is use 1 heart on mewtwo and dont completely fuck up and get 5k points.

:^)

Shiny M-Fug is my first tapper, any tips for increasing combos? Didn't do as good as Gengar against Mewtwo.

>>33081096
play the shit out of ampharos and get a feeling when and where to tap.

Nothin' to do but grind the cat dubs man.

What team should I be using against the Mewtwo score challenge stage? I wanna get as high as possible but unfortunately the only one with raise max level is 250k+...

rewards are shit.

>>33082198
even getting 100k will be hard wihout a proper team. getting to 200k is not possible if you gotta ask here

tapper, with sinister power SE team
or m-banette with both ghost power ups SE team (spooky and phantom combo)

>>33082863

We haven't even got the rest of the unreleased Memechus however I'm ready

You know, looking at the best team for Mewtwo (Mimikyu/Lunala/Dusknoir), I think the DD might actually be sub-optimal. If you skimp on it you can use Spookify+ during the first half.

>>33082863
Born ready

ded

Can't wait to get back up over 90k and take a stab at some more of these main stages, only 200 more to go. Shuffle has so much content, it's insane.

>>33084884
>Lost 2k on meloetta piroette
>Only won twice

So how are you guys doing this? My team.is max candy diancie lvl 8, xern lvl 12, azumarrill lvl 15 and togekiss lvl 8

Togekiss is there because i simply cant deal enough damage, I always end with only a sliver of health left.
Do i need to max this fuckers before attempting to beat meloetta effortlessly?

>>33084936
yes. you want your beater to be as hard hitting as possible

>>33084936
>So how are you guys doing this?
I'm not. We get free skill cookies every week. I'll just wait for them to build up, and when I need Melo for something, she gets some tasty treats.
But as >>33084966 said, your levels are looking kind of low, get 'em higher. Losing with a sliver left is a clear sign you need just a bit more power.

>>33084936
I said fuck it and did a full item run.

good night shufflefriends. pls dont let this thread die

>>33085503
I'll try my best, probably gonna be up for another four hours. Goodnight shufflebro.

>>33084884
I know how you feel. I haven't been able to do any main stages since Alola came hard and I've just recently started the climb again. Feels like shit though, these stages suck.

>>33086132

I just slowly go through the main stages since I enjoy the special stages more, I'm only at Stage 460 despite playing for 8 months since I fall for GS new memes every week. Then again some of those memes are responsible for S Ranking stages that I don't want to redo (Mega Rayquaza and Hoopa-U for starters)

So I'm about to reach 30k coins grinding cat and like yesterday I'm gonna complain just because it gives me some sense of progress and also because it's really pretty boring. It's so boring that I'm already thinking of jewing out from grinding any mons just to keep coins, but Meloetta has some delicious drop rate to simply ignore. We'll see how Victini graces my hitters and if I'll have or not an easier time through the week.

What do you guys spend your jewels on?

>>33086964

Nothing, I have never spend one because >mobile

>>33086964
Passion of the moment decisions. A sliver of health left on this annoying stage with no moves? Jewel. Weekend Meowth is being a Jew? jewel.

>>33086964
Was gonna blow some on DRI this weekend, but since Meloetta has a 100% drop rate I might do it next week for Entei and Ho-oh instead. I'm not sure if Entei is worth farming with so much competition between fire mons though.

>>33086964
weekend Meowth
comp runs (i limit myself to about two though)
Victini/ Magernea
sometimes Eevee

Where is Mewtwo? I don't have it in my special stages

>>33087215

Apparently it is Mobile only

>>33087215
Mobile shitters get to play test.

how long is Survival Mode? 150 stage?

>>33087404

>Tried Survival Mode the first time
>Only managed to get past 35
>Faces Raichu twice

orz

>>33087254
>>33087340
WTF? now I HATE gs!

>>33087413
But Raichu is an easy stage. Or do you not have Bee?

>>33087620
You gotta stop assuming people have Bee.

>>33087620
Even with the Bee it can be annoying if you aren't lucky with the skyfall

>>33087656
My bad, just that I couldn't fathom playing shuffle without Bee. It felt like the whole game became easier when we got it.

>>33087764
I wish I knew what that felt like.

>>33086964
>>33086970
I don't have anything even on 3DS so I don't spend what I don't have. Then again if I happen to have one it definitely goes to the weekend cat without a doubt. Eevee and Victini are way too expensive for it to be worth it. The special shop even more.

>>33086964
Weekend Meowth when I'm really low on funds <30K. Other than that I save it as much as I can, same with hearts.

Fuck tapping megas

How the fuck do people reach 150k points with them?

>>33087413
dont worry shufflefriend. gs will release the bee to everyone sonn enough. I'm sure of it

>tfw desperately farming SM for the last few times before it gets fucked

>>33086964
Weekend Meowth during more coin intensive times, when I had more jewels to spare. Occasionally to finish the final stage of an escalation battle. Haven't spent any in a while though.

Are there any pokemon that you have come to hate because of shuffle? Somehow Floatzel and Buizel piss me off every time they appear.

>>33091536
>not hating Floatzel and Buizel before playing Shuffle
Wew lad. I can't think of one in particular off the top of my head that Shuffle has caused me to dislike, but I do get an angry chuckle out of how many icons seem designed to look like smug little shits as you try over and over to beat/catch them.

So now that Victini helped me level up all my mons and now that I got a few coins I came back and as predicted I'm raping it's ass. Also got lucky triple drops already so let's get this rolling and see how expensive it ends up being.

Still don't have wormadam and venomoth despite doing the safari all week, fucking hell

>>33098912
What team?

>>33099122
M-Diancie (15, SL1, 10/10 candies), Mewtwo (20, Swap SL1), Azumarill (15, SL5), Melo-P (12, SL3). Only losing when Diancie is nowhere to be seen or Azumarill refuses to proc so far.

So, got myself a Skill Swap item (Mew, you're a little shit). What Pokemon are the primary targets to use it? I wanted to pick Amphraros but even his other abilities are fucking trash. Already swapped Yveltal.

>>33099331
If you're relatively new then Pyre on Ho-oh and BS+/BB+ on the legendary dogs are good choices to get you through the main stages. Throh is also another one to consider.

This Week as a Fucking Hell. But i don't want to talk about it
Did TWO Items Runs
First Run: M-Gengar(MAX), Yvetal(5/5 MAX), Butterfree (9) and Sableye(5/5 MAX). 68K.
Second Run: Same, But Fug is the Mega. 125K
Well, At least i will get 3 Skill Boosters M, 4 Exp Boosters M, A Skill Swapper, A Skill Booster S, A M-Speedup and 1000 Coins

I CANT BEAT MELOETTA CONSISTENTLY TO GRIND IT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>33099331
1st: yvetal
2nd-5th: raikou, suicune (if you got not other Water BS+ user), Throh, Ho-oh to pyre

those are pretty good ones. but it all depends on how many main stages you gotta do and what other memes you got.

for example another good swap would be ash-ninja to UP and getting it to lv5 for that sweet 4-5k damage on 4 and 5 matches.

>>33099726
own fault for falling for poor gs memes. one items run is more than enough for this highscore shitshow. prizes are pure shit for what points you need

meloetta-p is among the best mons you could get. and almost comparable to machamp. dont miss out on it_

any suggestions how I could manage to grind Melo without a fully invested Diancie? I have it skill swapped but it has no candies so it evolves too late and she survives with about 1/4 health every time.

>>33100098
S-Fug with Salamence as a booster does the job as well

>>33100164
should I bring her to her own stage?

>>33100197
lacks damage

>>33100197
Not if your Melo is underlevelled and below SL3. Azu and Xerneas/Mewtwo would be better in that case.

>>33096563
>Unity Power activation rates
>does one third the damage
Thanks but no.

>>33100164
Is it worth skill swapping Mike Mence?

>>33100164
whats your team?

>>33100399
Without a doubt

>>33100427
Diancie/Azu/Xerneas/Heatran

>>33100050
Thank you. With BS+ Raikou, I finally managed to make it past stage 292.

>>33100750
yeahh raikou is another great use for SS especially if you gotta do all the main water stages since GS gave them all barriers without providing a decent barrier basher+ at that time.

any oldfags here remember the likes of milotic without feebas or BB+??
truly a classic gs meme :^)

only via save editing with PSSE

>>33101261
whats psse?

>>33101322
nvm, I figured it out.

Meloetta grinding has been getting much better since I changed my team to include Mewtwo 20 and Deoxys-A 10 SL3.

>>33101984
i was hoping to grind it, but i can barely beat it itemless

>>33102629
I went from beating it 20% of the time to 60–70%. Other team members are max candied MB+ M-Diancie 9 (just raised it to SL3 because non-activations really matter) and maxed RT Azumarill.

Shame that the only LDE user effective against Fighting is Spearow with 30 BP.

>>33101984
>psychic combo
>only 1/2 the team is psychic

??

>>33103152
Azumarill's burst damage is just too good. My next-best psychics would be Cress (helps with barriers if no Diancie match), Victini (shit) or normal Deoxys (my eyes). Alakazam's RT is on SL1, so that's not an option.

>>33103324
>RT is on SL1

why tho

>>33103365
because even a RT at 3 coming from a lv10 zam is nothing compared to a RT lv5 coming from a lv20 azumarill

Bumpin', since I might forget later. I wish I had a level 20 azumarill but I'm still working on my ice dream team.

>>33104452

I just dislike the bitch and don't feel like wasting all of those items to make her viable, there are many other fairy options.

>>33104678
>farming hitmonlee

Guys?! what spicy meme am i missing here?

>>33104715
Hitmonlee can take RMLs and has a good type, so might as well farm it since it takes hearts and not coins.

Shot Out does 8x damage at SL5 with a 4-match and the stage is easy enough to beat without paying much attention to it. It's a niche skill that could come in handy for some levels.

>>33104798
thats all good and all right.

but what other team member will you ditch for it?
your lv20 machamp with risk taker lv5 or meloetta-p lv15 with nosedive lv5?
or maybe your mega? :^)

>>33104840
theres a 4th slot.

>>33104840
Probably replaces Meloetta if the stage has a 5th mon.
I'm not even sure if I'll be able to max it in 10 days if they decide to throw another safari or EB at us though.

>>33104911
which is usually reserved for support :^)

shitposting aside. Do you really think there are a lot of instances for using your hitmonlee? If you dont have machamp and meloetta, sure. But if you got both of them.... I dont know shufflefriend.
Dont want you to fall for poor gs memes, you know

>>33104934

Well, we might get another EB but the Safari should last another week

>>33104940
well, I'm almost at coin cap, pyre is farmed, and I can't beat melo consistently since my diancie isnt invested. Instead of throwing away hearts I might aswell farm that fucker.

>>33104940
It could see play in specific EBs, main stages or PSB farming stages, but as I said, very niche usage. Just hoping it doesn't share the same fate as my Kingdra that has almost never seen the light of day after maxing Whirlpool. I don't mind burning hearts though because I'm sitting at 85k coins.

>>33104953
Yeah, completely forgot about the current safari. I was worried that we would get a Shiny Ttar Pikachu safari or something.

>>33105067

Ttar Pikachu isn't a thing yet

>>33105177
Isn't the best team for that comp M-Banette, Mimikyu, Lunala and Dusknoir?Just Phantom combo on first turns while depending on good Banette combos, then when 7,6 or 5 turns left you hopefully activate Spooky+ and after that you put Dusknoir to do the heavy work or not?
At least that's what appears to be one of the best teams so far. I don't really know since I'm a 3DS player but I would also bet for that team.

>>33105255

I have no M-Banette or Dusknoir for that hot spooky meme so I have to make do with Fug and the Dark Team of Hoopa-U, Zoroark, and Yveltal. I'm willing to bet GS will spite us by either having a Banette comp next week or Shiny Ttar would've been the perfect meme against Mewtwo

>thread is gonna die and a new one will be made a day before update

I fear this is exactly what will happen.

>>33105423
The Mind Zap nerf really sucked. I'm going through old main stages these days for S ranks and shitmon captures and I think "Oh, Bellossom plus Shaymin will make this an easy stage" or "Oh, I just have to bring Kingdra and both frogs" but then I remember, and I get a little sad.

>>33105067
>Kingdra
literally how? whirlpool will proc 60% on 3matches. its a fucking godsend

I'm using her together with Bellossom or Shaymin and Ash-Frog on almost every SE stage together with Fug or S-Fug

>>33105476
>I fear this is exactly what will happen.
This WILL happen. At this point all shufflefriends here know how GS patterns work
inb4 working gs patterns

>>33105423
dont get yourself fooled. kingdra lv5 is still a fucking great mon. 60% chance to stall on a 3match is more than bellossom or shaymin could dream.
althought the mind-zap nerf did hurt it.

I was thinking of filling a colored version of this with main stage mons and their bullshit, but then I thought about the new Survival mode and maybe it fitted more that way but then it would have to wait, however it could also be filled with how deep we are in this shuffling abyss and why we can't leave.

>>33106818
How about that one pic of an iceberg and a gamer?

-Main stages C - A Ranks, buying gems, getting coins from daily log ins and weekend meoowth only
- Play main stage itemless, grind the cat
- levelup candies, gets good rank on comps
- completes EBs, Top 100 on comps, grinds skills to level 5
