/Shuffle General/: shitty op edition

First for Memes

also op a shit :^)

second for ash-grenigger is a nigger

anyone know the rules for status conditions on timed stages? do they just run out mid combo if you made your few moves its supposed to last?

>>33225806
>ToTT: Which Pokemon did you get for the Start of Month Challenge?
shitty 10 hearts fucker. mobile, so its even worse since the hearts dont count for the extra hearts and stop your heart regen the moment you get them

>>33226001
>do they just run out mid combo
This. Don't bother with status on timed stages unless it's Alola Ninetales, and even then you rarely bother.

wow, I love rng now

>>33226175
update: my first tier 5 finish, never in my life have I ever placed below tier 4 not even in my first ever competition. fuck this shit game.

>>33226175
>Bringing a fourth Pokemon
You absolute idiot. You bring Gengar, Dragonite, and Goodra, leave the fourth empty, and then do an all item run.

>>33226362
It doesn't matter though, the Complexity removes that last slot, why do you think people in the rankings are trying to be cute bringing their favorite shitmons?

Foes the algorithm fpr determining what pokemom fall off the top tip more in your favor after you clear a stage? There are a lot of times that I get combos that would probably tale a mon to zero from full health after the stage is over.

Goodnight shufflebros, good luck on the competition!

>>33226249

I'm probably going to drop to Tier 4 myself, only about ~300 places away. Doing another run is tempting but I've been burnt in the past (Primarina) so I'll just cut my losses.

why the hell is druddigon so easy? in my first try I had basically no combos and got an effortless S-rank by a considerable margin

>>33227485

Rock Break+ isn't really worth grinding, no. Plus Omastar itself is outclassed.

Daily chus, and a slight, minor possibility of Lele, probs an EB and that's it.

>>33227942
You know you could post that weekly and it would still work.

>>33226362
wait, are you serious?

>>33228058
doesn't matter what you bring in your 4th slot or if you don't bring anything at all, complexity-1 get's rid of it anyway
that's for an item run, of course

>>33228138
I was asking if hes serious because i'm not sure if hes seriously this dumb and calls me an idiot, or if hes just trolling.

>>33228171
I'm seriously that much of an idiot.

>>33227485

If it was a 70bp I would, but no chance at 60.

I'm done wasting time on the comp. Keep getting fucked with rng. Firmly in tier 4 so fuck it.

whats the next comp/eb gonna be?

Is Diancie worth SS? I mainly use it as a BB+ but it seems like the niche of MB+ on it with MS seems to be the better option for stages nowadays.

>>33228919
ss and candy it and it becomes a BB++++++++++++++++++++++++ after the frist match.

>>33228937
Yeah, but that means using it as a Mega which is not always the best choice.

>>33228953
if there are enough barriers to specifically bring a BB+ instead of just making use of your tapper/usual mega, M-Diancie will be worth it.

>>33228919
I hesitated with the swap until Conkeldurr as well. But the types covered by BB+ Diancie are also covered by Cresselia (Fighting), Zygarde 50% or Mamoswine (Dragon), and SS Throh (Dark), with the first two being stronger than Diancie (without RMLs).

>>33229003
I was actually thinking of swapping Mamoswine to Risk Taker so I would lose that, and Zygarde 50% means Fug is way less effective. SS Throh is good though.

>>33229021
Then you could also use Jynx or SS Vanillite to cover barriers for Dragon-types where you don't want to bring M-Diancie for whatever reason. But that is a tiny to non-existent niche.

>>33229021
why do you even ask about skillswaping diancie if youre so resistant against any advice given to you?

>>33229097
I'm spitballing ideas here to see if it's worth it, that's all. Everyone says it's great so I just want to know if it's worth the MSU and RML investment.

>>33229076
Isn't Vanillite used for whatever the Ice equivalent of Pyre is? Or was that Vanillish?

>>33229330
M-Diancie is absolutely vital if you want to farm Conkeldurr, or wanted to farm Meloetta-P. It's also useful on a host of other stages that like to spam tons of barriers, even if it's only neutral there. For the ones with only a medium amount of barriers, we told you the alternatives.

And it's Vanillish that can swap to Ice Dance, not Vanillite.

>tier 5
Jesus, even with the insanity that is this comp, I still get tier 5. The cutoff for tier 4 and tier 5 is 430k and 297k respectively.

>>33230370
I'm still used to just placing high enough to barely get the stone, so I'm content in tier 6.

If tomorrow there's a Bee repeat I'll masturbate to it, I promise

>>33230370

Brutal. I'm at 478k think I should be safe in tier 4 and don't really have the resources to try another run.

>>33228919

MB+ is a niche choice for barrier-ridden escalation stages/farming stages. Whether that's worth it or not is up to you, but if you have nothing else that needs the swapper right now it's nice to have.

>>33233954
My Vanillish is already above level 10, so I like to have something really low leveled to offset the damage. Unfortunately it backfired on this particular game.

>>33234007
don't you use a finisher mon?

>>33234030
That's what Xerneas is there for

>>33234050
oh well, didnt do a good job at it I guess. do you not have it farmed?

>>33234076
Yeah. It's lvl 20, SL5, but the coin match caused a combo that screwed up my Po4 matches, so I had to try to combo the level out, and you know how that goes. When you want a combo, you can't get one and vice versa.

>>33234156

So what's the current priority list for mega boosters?
I maxed out Fug & Bee, and I sort of just sat on the rest. But I'll hit the limit tomorrow, so I gotta actually use em.

>>33235367

What about Salamence or Mewtwo for better Weekend Meowth runs?

>>33235367
In semi-order:
Gengar
Shiny Fug
Aggron
Camerupt
Salamence (only if you can SS it)
Diancie (only if you can SS can it)
Tyranitar
Heracross (only if you can SS AND RML it, Mega Heracross is a best when it's perfect but it's a lot of investment)
Mewtwo Y
Shiny Gyarados
everything else is kind of useless.

You might not even want to bother with Tyranitar and Shiny Gyarados to be honest. S-Gyarados used to to be good for old SM but that's gone. Tyranitar is great but even fully MSUed it takes too long to Mega Evolve. You usually just wind up using Mega Starts with it for competitions anyway. Same with Aerodactly and Steelix for S-ranking certain stages

Not him but the guy he replied to said he maxed fug and beedrill already, so that's why I assume he excluded those two

THE BEE IS BACK

W-we finally get the fucking bee!

>>33236238
Hoenn megas are generally useless except for M-blaziken (Pyre team) due to being completely niche and they cannot get rid of disruptions.

>>33236339
To 20 I meant. Also the Bee got some RMLs I think? It got even better.

This is what I feel with this update and even though I already had bee it's nice that some shufflebros finally have their chance.

Video very related.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAhuSDRIDHE

Should bee have swap++ ?

Does this confirm a bee comp next week or am I stuck halfway there?

>>33236383
GS, for all it's faults, are pretty consistent about having comps the week after a Mega evolving mon drops.

>>33236361
it's a waste of resources
it evolves in a single three match

Other than Mewtwo and Meloetta who will be the bonus shitter next week for Beedrill?

>>33236352
I think it should be a Mr. Universe champion with a Mewtwo head and the text "Level 30/30" above him

>>33236438
Good, my idea can wait until the comp.

Nobody commented on Ninetales getting Burn+ as well as 5 RMLs. Charizard is finally outclassed for good.

>>33236450
I feel they're gonna do this to some old mons, so I'll refrain from investing in Emolga as I sense there's gonna come a batch soon where it's gonna get outclassed. Instead Shayming will get all the love it can get, was my second SL5 in the game, and has been fairly reliable since quite a while.

>caugh bee at 11% on my first try
BLESSED WEEK

Christ, I was about to spend ten RML on Azumarill just yesterday but decided to hold it off. Glad I did.

Chansey got Super Cheer, guaranteeing an skill's activation next turn.
Its own activation is probably shit, but assuming it becomes a decent skill at SL5, what would be its best use?

>>33236529
Chansey+Ashninja+Goodra+Whatever else gets UP

>>33236529
Angerychu, unity power, skydive and other skills that do x10 dmg or more, hell, it could even become the new staple for survival mode.

>>33236562
>Angerychu
Thanks for the reminder, I can catch that meme now too. It's actually kind of worrying; we're getting so much good shit I'm afraid of what's coming.

am I retarded for not being able to beat Beedrill? I'm getting almost continuous combos and I'm still falling short
any team reccomnedations?

>>33236596
I used Gengar, Mewtwo, and Landorus T.

>>33236596
I beat it with Mewtwo(7), Victini(6), and Cresselia(2)

>>33236596
I got a ludicrous itemless 15 second kill using Alakazam(10), Landorus T(8) and Donphan Ground Forces (13).

I just realized Great Dailys are back
Machamp soon?

So many new Pokémon and so little time...

I caught Beedrill first try. I hate stages that cost coins so I bought a +10 just in case but I managed to catch the with 14% or something.
I'm currently fighting Dialga. Beat it once but didn't capture and I don't have much money now so using a GB would ruin me. Palkia is all manners of awful.
Is this Meloetta as good as its rating shows?

What pokemon do you use in safari?

I'm a shufflepleb, so can you guys help me which of these special stages are worth going for a capture?
>Girafarig, memechu safari, Kabutops, Dialga, Palkia and topuKeko

Cryogonal stage done itemless using M-Diancie, Machamp, Mawile and Melo-P all maxed except for the last one. 0 moves left.

Kricketot done with +5 moves using Diancie, Emboar, Charizard and Heatran. This stage took 14 hearts because RNG can fuck you stupidly easy in this stage. Even with +5 got 0 moves remaining. Granted my Heatran is SL3 but even so the damage it does is minimal.

This batch of stages are pretty disgusting. Also used my unlimited hearts on the safari with a team of >>33236733 M-Camerupt, Lando-T and my newly swapped Groudon, funnily enough when Charichu appeared Groudon bailed me a couple of times from bad spots with it's ability.

Had some time to spare so I made it to level 20 of the EB, so with that I'm done and going back to the cat to catch Koko and then get some coins for Lele and Bee comp. Already feeling overwhelmed and it barely started to get ugly.

I know, duh. I just bought it in case I didn't manage to clear the stage, but I still finished with 18 sec (so, 8 sec) remaining on the counter. MMY is really good in such situations.

>>33236912
shut off your 3ds for a minute or so, and launch the game afterwards. somethings fucked with 3ds internet today.

>>33236896
Doesn't matter, it fixed itself on my end. Reset your router with the reset button and hold it foer like 30 seconds, wait for it to load, turn off your 3DS wi-fi for like 10 seconds, then turn it on and try connecting.

Given the current status of Fire types with this update the ideal team so far is:

M-Blaziken, Ho-oh (Pyre), Ninetales (Burn+), and Emboar all maxed out of course. That is if you can stomach grinding Burn to usable levels so unless that happens you could make a case for Nosedive.

It's actually confirmed that Mega Bee comp is coming next week though.
Also worth noting that Dusknoir will appear sometime the other week, so at the cost of 2 hearts it will be farmable for a day. Same with Groudon if anyone is up to that.
And Lele is coming next week too so I would recommend everyone to be cautious and keep an eye on their coin stash.

Croagunk repeat done using M-Camerupt, Mewtwo (20, Po4, SL3), Croagunk and Toxicroak.
They pretty much clear themselves and the disruptions only speed up the process. But even so, EVEN SO barely managed to do it itemless with 0 moves remaining. Only 15 left to go, disgusting.

God I wish Kabutops was a 70bp, I want to use him but now it's pointless. Not sure if glad or pissed that Mewtwo got a bump in max level, just means I gotta waste more rml's.

>>33237607
You can give Kabutops RML, you know. No need to be autistic with Mewtwo. Lv. 21–25 only add 1 AP each and it will take you a month of grinding to max.

>>33237736

Not worth it when there are other options out there.

mewtwo to level 30 is kinda crazy, considering he has seen very little use outside of weekend meowth.

I think the dude just woke up, saw Memechu safari, and decided to end it all. It woke him up to the state of the game and its future.
Me? I'm just fucking ecstatic that Shuffle has been so nice to my favorite mon, Ninetales (both forms).

Note that I am not making fun of Pak Adi Yak, he is a cool dude and I like him
And I can totally see where his sadness is coming from, so tearing up there isn't THAT weird
This is making fun of GS - for ruining the game so much that they even made someone like him quit
>>33240048
I believe he realize that, which is why he was tearing up there
This is pretty much saying bye bye to his Youtube channel..

I don't enjoy it anymore and I am honestly super tired but gotta see it to the end.
But it's stupid that ever since Shuffle came out, we needed more and more coins and they ever changed Stage 37
They made us require more EXP and yet made SM impossible and didn't buff Victini/made a better EXP farming stage than Ampharos
>>33240242
Why

This is like MMO. They need money so they have to make content that'll wear the player out by having him do hard work for little payoff and always more to do. I've started playing again recently I'm already getting tired. I should stop playing and just go back to it when I want to relax.

>>33240373

That's how this game is intended to be played, unless you're an idiot who spends money on a match-3 game.

As someone who couldn't connect to the internetz during Camerrupt Week, I know that feel. Stop making so many events dependant on it if you're not going to do this, GS.

>>33239792
No, whichever Meloetta you mean. Next comp will be Beedrill.

This is fucking embarrassing. They know the game is over as soon as the natdex is complete but this is going too far.

>>33240784

There, I'm done until next update.

finished Beedrill with 0 seconds left due to combos and still caught it with my first pokeball, I'm laffin at this rng

>>33240939
took me 10 tries at 40% (about 20 seconds left)

>>33240784
Please Anon, with as many pokemon that are special stage only, new players will still be here for a very long time.

>>33240784
There are new main stages though. So there are at least 6 new mons added in the update. Even more considering that the safari next week apparently is full of "new" mons and Lele is coming. We've had worse.

>>33240784
>tfw when I still have almost 300 main stages remaining
This game could last a long time on me, I'm not about to rush it.

ANOTHER escalation? We've had escalations every week for the past 5 weeks. Why do they keep doing this?

>>33241349
Money of course.
Can't blame them though, everyone needs money to live.

>>33241655
the game is legit going to shit though. 6 weeks of constant escalations. LV 30 Mewtwo, Slowbro, and whatever else. There's no point in investing skill boosters for any Pokemon that doesn't have a + next to its skill name. But at the same time, if you don't invest in them, you'll be screwed for any upcoming competitions while we wait for the next major power creep.

>>33241688
The level cap doesn't make sense anymore, at all
It just screams "all your efforts were for nothing" at you

>>33241489 (Me)
Found it and caught it in a 33% pokeball in the next few hearts, onto bullying Melo.

>>33241808
I've never used a RML and I don't know how many of my pokemon are even at level 10. This is only a problem for people who think 20 attack points is a huge difference. You put in weeks of effort so you don't have to buy an attack power when using this pokemon when in reality all this amounts to is a few more meowth runs.

>>33240254

150 makes more sense now since the page had 15 / 35 / 100 / 150 before

>>33241808

I'd consider the Level 30 cap to be "let's see if the whales are actually dumb enough to fall for those memes"

a level cap at 30 makes literally no sense with how little xp victini actually gives per mon. especially now with SM basically removed.

>>33241709
6 weeks? Nigger this has been like this for months and you don't "need" that stuff. I'm at stage 606 with a fucking Azumarill level 16, Emolga level 8, Vanillish 8 and not a single LDE invested aside from my SL3 Heatran. You'll survive with half assed teams, people are overexaggerating because they finally can't get their instant gratification. The same with SM, I never used it as a exp farming stuff yet I have my own assortment of strong mons carefully raised to do stuff.
Then again I hope enough people quit so GS hurries up with the game and also maybe, just maybe I can go up a few places in comps if the "hardcore" ones leave.

Who gives a shit about power creeping? Drugs are bad. Just do your best and have fun.
This game isn't finite and the competition isn't direct so there's little reason to tryhard. In fact, tryharding is a vicious circle because tryharding will sure lead to better prizes but those are made only to tryhard more afterwards.
Sit back and enjoy. I ended up getting Tier 5 in the last competition (which I probably shouldn't have done full items at all because now, I'm completely out of coins and Char X looks like a bad joke) and I'm fucking fine with this.

Thats it folks. Shuffle is done.
Wasnt here for the big new update and will take my time tomorrow to catch up. But from what I saw... thats it.

It was a pleasure my shufflefriends. And I will for sure miss you.

>>33241805
Right. I could ignore them and focus on the competitions. But if I don't get all the RMLs from the escalations, I won't place high enough in the competitions to get more RMLs. I'll fall behind

>>33242911
are you really faster with leveling mons past 10 than getting RML from competitions? I find this really hard to believe, especially now without SM

In the long run, BP really doesn't matter much in competitions.

>>33236596

Defeated it with Mewtwo (30), Landorus (12), Cresselia (9) and Victini (10) but I dont caught it

Already needed to use items with Salamence repeat, nasty stuff but I think people with strong ice teams could manage to pull something off. Only 10 more to go but will try them tomorrow I suppose.

>Safari makes huge combos on the turn you beat it
>Cat making huge combos so it isn't defeated but it's impossible to make a move without ending it.
Today just isn't my meme.

>>33243691

That said, this escalation not giving RMLs until 150 is stupid. The right thing to do is to let new players at least get something out of scratching it so they can slowly but surely boost their Pokemon.

grinding out Goodra to UP SL 5 turned out real handy i tell you hwat

>Todays great challenge is another Pikachu

>>33244756
I'm just glad it's not another 400 stage one

is Kekleon and this daily memechu worth the trouble? I'm not in a catch 'em all mindset just yet

>>33245384
The Memechu is no trouble at all.

Beat Hippopotas repeat itemless with M-Steelix (no candies), Suicune, Bellosom and Ashninja.
Based Suicune bailing me out of shit places and erasing the right blocks to make combos, also Ashninja failed me in a moment of need to make it S-rank but well at least managed to beat it.
Also fuck Turtwig.

So why is Pak crying like a cuckold?

>>33245865
The game has been frustrating for a long time and it seems a lot of people have had problems with this update. >>33241641 If I had to guess this has been boiling for a while and he just hit the breaking point.

Just noticed that Snorlax has Try Hard.
>Try Hard (10%, 20%, 50%; x10 base damage; Increased damage by x12, x15, x18, x25)

That last multiplier seems tempting, but sadly it's in the 200 PBS range with all the other meme abilities like Disrupt Buster so there goes the dream. Also a level 30 Groudon with a max Barrier Shot seems like it could tear open some assholes.

It's not just Mewtwo that can hit 30...

http://pkmnshuffle.wikia.com/wiki/Update_Notes/August_08,_2017

12 other shitmons (including Bulbasaur) can now be RML'd up to 30, not to mention all the other ones bumped to 10 or 15.

Plus all the specials being run again all at once.

Feels like GS are wrapping up the game so they can put it on update haitus till the next gen or something (Shuffle 2! Start over from scratch! If you played Shuffle 1 you can import all your favorite Pikachus from the first game)

>>33245993
If they were trying to wrap it up they wouldn't put so many repeat stages in both the main and special stages this update. They've probably stopped paying attention altogether and are working on whatever it is they're gonna do next.

Can you say Denpa 4?

Do I need to SS Bee or is he just god tier as a mega?

>>33246033
In normal circumstances you'll only have one chance to trigger its ability, which doesn't have particularly good activation rates. Sometimes the extra Bee icons will help. In stages with barriers they might fuck you up. On the other hand, Block Smash is only very rarely useful.

TL;DR doesn't matter, only swap if you have tons of swappers.

>>33245993
They're moving onto Shuffle XD2 or a spiritual successor to Colosseum.

Are there any new main stages worth grinding?

Also, I guess Croagunk and Toxicroak if you have a Poison team

Melly 95 done. Stopping at 100, wish it wasn't a fucking skill swapper. Would have stopped at 75 but got a good anger jump.

so with melo having MB+, shall I take her to meowth together with mew2 and unown! ?

>>33246859
its mb++ and its a meme. a very bad meme

>>33246864
I see

quirky ++ is a pretty good meme

>>33246864
Isn't melo going to be a disruption in M bee?

>>33248393

I think he's referring to not using her for Weekend Meowth since MB++ has bad activation rates

>>33248393

Quirky++ would probably be better there, but considering the investment and the lack of way to grind right now I wouldn't fret over it.

>>33246756
i've heard 125 is possible itemless, it might be worth a shot maybe
>>33248836
I might swap it later, only b/c i was swimming in SS until last update (13 unused), might be useful for next comp

going >20 makes literally no sense since it takes 5k+ exp for going up A SINGLE ATTACK POINT

>>33245911
That and Chansey together might tear up a new asshole in some stages. Sadly, both takes an insane amount of PSB (150 for Chansey, 200 for Snorlax) on shitty rates (1/4, 1/8, 1/128 for Chansey is barely manageable, 1/4, 1/32, 1/64 for Snorlax isn't)

>>33246471
I hope he meant 20 and mistyped. Still, Deo-A makes Beedrill its bitch (and since its a 3-mon stage... go and figure)

>>33249499

Going above level 20 is basically a meme GS created to see if whales are baited and it somehow backfired. I played for around 9 months and I still haven't used a single RML yet or spent a single actual cent

What's with Musharnas actually garbage catch rate? It's hard to believe I'm barely halfway through this main stage shitfest.

>>33249541
I understand not spending any shekels on the game as I'm on that boat too, but why not the RMLs? There are some pokes that are actually good and very useful to have at max power. Right now a maxed M-Diancie is my best friend to plow through the new batch of stages, even better than Houndoom even though that one is SE.

>>33249499
>going >20 makes literally no sense since it takes 5k+ exp for going up A SINGLE ATTACK POINT
Only for the first 5 levels, after that you get the awesome gain of 2, yeah, you read it right, 2 BP, amazing isn't it? :^)

I don't regret it.

I thought I would farm Hippowdon but that shit's impossible to do, barely S-ranked it with +5 and MS using M-Steelix, Ashinja, Shaymin and Hippowdon. Even with a Sleep proc and two Ashninja procs it wasn't enough, damn GS and their stupid stuff. There goes the dream of having a SL5 hippo.

>>33249798

A lot of shitmons have really bad catch rates so GS could take your coins

>>33250006

I never saw the need to use them yet but my mind will probably change if GS decides to put Machamp back on the menu

is it just me or is Meloetta (fighting) not that great? Mine is SL5 Nosedive but it still activates less often than Risk Taker and does less damage than Machamp. I am starting to regret spending 100K+ coins grinding it

>>33252135
Honestly sounds like a (you) problem. Meloetta was god tier for me even before SL5.

File: Chansey.png (21KB, 256x256px) Image search: [Google]

21KB, 256x256px

I have decided to take GS's bait and SS Chansey and grind it to SL5. Given it will cost 150 PSBs and the drop rate for Chansey is just 25%, I expect to be at this for awhile. At least a month if this is all I do.

>>33252271
God speed, idiot. God speed.

>>33252271
You need 150 PSBs. The drop rate is 25%. You're probably going to have to beat that stage around 600 times.

But good luck anyway. If we ever have another type restricted competition and we're limited to normal + electric again and you have an invested Angry Pikachu, I guess we'll see you at the top of the rankings.

Goodnight friends, keep on enjoying the update memes :^)

Holy fuck, Grotle is impossible to beat without a C-1 or what the fuck?

>disrupts with a rock
>second disruption turns that same rock into a coin
wtf i love meowth now

What mega should I try and have ready for the Mbee comp?

>>33254067

Probably Mewtwo or a tapper, but Mega Start might be on the menu which means you won't need anything candied.

>>33254067
>inb4 they force us to use M-Slowbro as a mega with it's new shiny level 30 cap.

You know what's an actual meme? Power Drain. It never fucking activates.

Cradily seems pretty good if invested
Is Eject+ worth grinding? If yes to what skill level?

>>33255165
he isnt particularly good, we used him once for a comp where he was in the skyfall alongside armaldo he had no other use besides that.

>>33254144
That's actually pretty likely. M-Slowbro is the kind of mega that's best suited for them to include in a disruption. Plus everyone forgot that it exists after clearing stage 150.

>>33255165
Niche ability, not that many stages have extra supports. But SL2 is fine.

Meloetta 125 done with M+5 using M-Diancie(lv14,SL2), Lunala(lv10,SL1), Mimikyu(lv10,SL2) and Dusknoir(lv10, SL3).
It's possible itemless if you have better Ghost team or invested in S-Tyranitar

>>33255800

I'm on 125 right now, grinding some coins since I don't think I'm gonna beat it with out A+ and maybe MS. Shiny T-Tar (lvl6, sl1), Scyther (lvl 10, sl3), Yvet (lvl10, sl2), and Genesect (lvl10, sl1)

>>33255456
i've used slowbro outside of comps before
rarely though

>>33254144
Nah, disruptions are already out; weedle+kakuna in 1st half(skippable with DD)., meloetta-a in second

>>33254473
Downpour has a good rate, Poisonous Mist an okay rate. Vitality Drain just sucks, the only time it'll activate is when doing a comp run (where it deals 0 damage)

>>33255935
I remember the first Beedrill comp, where M-Slowbro was a decent option which could softlock the game in a certain condition
https://youtube.com/watch?v=4OfmqbniI8c

>>33256007
Wrong video, disregard; see this one instead
https://youtu.be/TCB0ddaJIQk

Meloetta 150 done using MS, DD and AP with M-Tyranitar, Hoopa, Darkrai and Dusknoir.
It could be done without AP, but it's gonna be harder and since this was my stopping point for this escalation I didn't mind spend a little more.

Add me pls, just started but im here to stay, will give hearts almost daily

That's how underleveled I am.

>>33258216
request sent :^)

>>33259013
Remember that coins can always come back. Items don't.
Unless your bag is full of stuff already, you can basically ignore shit at this point. I'm completely out of money (450 left) but I'd like to grab some stuff, especially that Skill Swap because I couldn't get Kyurem's.

>>33259441
>Remember that coins can always come back

and then theres THAT pokemon thats a limited event, where you need a full item run to even beat it and it has a terrible catchrate. and youre at 450 coins.

>>33258216
added

you better keep your word :^)

>>33259512
Event Pokemon usually span over 2 weeks. That's 2 weekend Meowth, even without spending a Jewel on it on it, 2 Victini and quite a bit of time to farm Meowth.

>>33259532
there are people where the recent daily mons (those for 2 hearts per try) are their first spawns and since they're fairly new they have trouble doing it itemless. and you woldnt want to miss that A-Greninja

Is it confirmed that Meloetta will be used for Mega Beedrill? The wiki shows that it was during the former competition.

>>33259722

The Chinese wiki shows that it'll spawn Meloetta-A and a ton of barriers + random Weedle/Kakuna/Beedrill for its disruptions. Apparently the comp is 16 moves w/ DD, MS, and AP+ available

>>33259512
Well, I spent enough coins and time going through the new main stages that I only have 4k right now, however I've yet to catch Tapu Keko, then again there's still enough time to farm enough coins for at least 2 full item runs with their 4GBs if that's the only thing I do so it's possible. With newer players I guess they can be a little more cautious on what or what doesn't deserve attention and coins.

>>33259791
Gonna have to level up that Cresselia and Meloetta-A then.

>>33259820
The only reason you should spend coin on Main Stages is to clear Mega Fug (well, at least, that's the only stage so far that led me to actively use items and a full items run at that). Main stages should be made to earn coins thanks to the 100 coins per first clear.

>>33259823

I think LDE Victini and Psychi Combo Deoxys-A/Dusion might be better to bring than Cress.

Looks like the threads over the bump limit. Could anyone take the Beedril Wanted poster and put FOUND across it for the next thread?
