Topic: Pokemon Shuffle

@Maceng No, I actually finished a little bit lower than what you predicted...

Still got the stone though.

I'm up to 94, going to 100. Good luck to all, no matter how far you're going.

I tried a dry run at 150 and failed quite spectacularly. I'm hesitant to even attempt it until I've leveled up my team, I barely took any life off at 150.

For those that have beat 150, what team and items did you end up using?

I'm quite stuck at level 100. Even after using +5 moves and Mega Start power-ups i barely made a dent. Is it worth it going on?

The item that increases your attack power is usually very useful.

@Rikaria: Which is the 5th Pokemon added?

@sykotek: I'm the lows 90's. Planning to get to level 150. at least.

Haven't used many coins (I had to do level 75 3 times, as my team was rather weak). Used +5 moves plus Disruption.

Stopped the Escalation to level uo my team. M-Latias, Dragonite and Diancie at levels 6 and Xerneas maxed.

I will try to get to level 150 with a team fully leveled and with 50K coins, That way I can try to get to level 200 using a +5 moves on every turn and full powerups for level 200.

@Mk_II: Yes it is, I've failed only once since level 100 and I'm on 144 without a fully leveled team too. I'll switch it again for 150. In stage 100 I went with Mega start, 5 plus moves, attack up, and disruption delay and beat it with about 4 moves left. If you're struggling I wouldn't use any less then that. You shouldn't need complexity at all. You might even do it without the mega start.

I had to use every single powerup available on level 150, and I still only beat it with one move left. And then levels 151-169? I'm beating them with at least 7 moves left each time. Often, I have double digit turns left. The HPs for Latias dropped quite a bit after 150. I'm on 170, and there's no reward until 200, so I think it should be a fairly smooth road to 200. However, I expect 200 to be brutal. I have 9 gems from contests and tags, so I may have to use one (or two) to extend that battle.

I didn't use complexity and failed pretty bad. Got it down to about only 53% too. Now I need coins before another go at it.

@Spoony_Tech: In accord with what you wrote, it could be impossible to beat Latias without Mega Start. It took you almost all major powerups and you had 4 moves left. Latias needs like 8 matches to evolve, so Mega Start is very handy.

My latias schedule for next week:

Saturday: Level up my team: Xerneas (max already), Latias (7-->8), Dragonite (8-->9) and Diancie (8-->9).
Sunday: Get to level 120
Monday-Wednesday: Milk the bejesus of Meowth and bring my total coins stash to 80K.
Thursday: Get to level 140, while leveling up a bit the team (Latias 8 --->9)
Friday: Get to level 149
Saturday: Max all my team, get to level 175
Sunday: get to level 200 (using a +5 moves on every turn if it comes to and using my saved hearts (30) and a couple of jewels.

Milk the bejesus of Meowth

forgive the newbie question but how do you do that? i've tried to play Meowth for coins but don't really know what i should be doing and got very poor results. Any tips?

Just play the normal meowth level and try to get coins and beat it before the turns run out.

When you start the level, there's three coin icons around, but other two get added as you play. Try to move the coins to a good position to match them.

300 coins (match 4 coin icons) per try is a good profit.

You can also go for 500 (5 icons) if you're feeling lucky, or 100 (3 icons) if things get desperate.

Try to use strong Pokemon so you can beat it, but not fighting types because they may kill it too fast. Also, don't use Pokemon with abilities that destroy, replace or prevent disruptions.

@Mk_II: Sure.

First, I was talking about stage 37, where you can get up to 530 coins per play. In a single day is easy to get up to 8k, 10k and even 15k (playing25-35 hearts). Please check page 59 of this thread. TheXReturns offers some neat advice on this as well as myself (if I may say so). Good luck!!!

For the Meowth stage on Sundays, read page 55 of comments. Klimbatize is right on the money on this.

@maceng: thanks! I'll go do my homework

Thanks, maceng. I now prefer the MewTwo Y strategy for Rich Meowth. I bring along the three Psychic types with Mega Boost, and don't buy the Mega Start. I buy the +5 moves though. Just make sure you don't drag Mewtwo to make a match before he mega evolves, as he might replace a coin disruption. It's been my most profitable set up.

I tried to go back to this game the other day and the specials were Keldeo and escalation Latias; I don't like Keldeo, and I'm not leveling Latias every 15 mins (when I get a heart back). I really can't get into this game anymore. I just want to play the dang game, but I'm not spending $$ to play for an extra 20 mins. I'm better off just doing something (anything) else. I wish there was a pay-to-own option, but then they'd stop giving it updates. Oh well, you guys have fun.

@maceng Yeah, we've kinda been posting for a long while. "> . < Seems mad this has been running since feb... At least this isn't like most internet chats, which just devolve into flame wars...

@MasterWario I understand where you're coming from, but I've got everything so far (I don't count Mega Boost Candies), and I really just want to finish everything. Completitionist activate... Good luck, and enjoy your new freedom.

I'm done with Latias. I've got to stage 150, and I really don't want to go any further... A week of grinding will do my coffers the world of good. And catching Swords of Justice. And the last four S ranks.

@MasterWario: If it's not something you keep up with on a daily bases then yeah it's not as fun. You can't just drop it for a week and come back and expect to have fun unless you're all caught up with S ranking and catching them all.

Wow. I'm a noob at this game. Some of you guys have gotten to 150 already and here I am, on level 34. I'm aiming to go to 50 for the Latiasite, but after that, I'll stop. I've been dying a lot recently, but I think I can beat level 50 in the next 8 days.
