Topic: Pokemon Shuffle

Also made more than 3,000 coins and S-ranked three Pokes.

It's the only one I've been missing from that particular safari since its original run as well. I haven't had any luck so far but then again I've only been using the regenerating hearts as I don't have any jewels.

I now have 25 Exp Booster S's and 1 Exp Booster M so it hasn't been a total waste.

@Nego Since you are still playing the safari, just 2 tips:
Starmie gives a lot of exp. Bring any strong Poke that needs some leveling up.
Stariu is a puzzle stage. There is a way to get 600 coins every single time (unless you kill it too soon). Moves are: F6 to A5, F2 to B5, A2 to B6.

Meganium is a good choice. If you haven't leveled up Roserade, give him some exp boosters and onward you go. It went from level 0 to level 5 in less than 40 plays.

Zygarde 50%: already at level 123. Stage 50 just used a +5 Moves on M-Latios, Dragonite, Zygarde 10% and Latias. (all maxed, Latios with a single candy).
Stage 100 needed +5 Moves plus Attack up. If any of your Pokes are lacking, I suggest these plus a DD. Same team.
Thinking about getting to level 250 by Sunday and tehn farm some coins for level 300.

Thanks for the tips!

I switched maxed out Shaymin and Bellossom to lvl 5 Roserade and lvl 1 Meganium. The only thing I'm afraid of is that the moment I actually encounter Phione, I won't make it since the only max level Pokemon I have in my team is M-Sceptile.

I think it would be cool if they introduce 1HKO abilities, reminiscent of attacks such as Fissure, Guillotine and Sheer Cold. Of course, such abilities will be useless in stages where HP is irrelevant (such as competitions), and perhaps types that are strong against them should be immune, but I think it would be really useful for difficult main/expert stages with a lot of turns, and can be helpful for newcomers to catch up with veteran players without having to rip their hair out or spend a great deal on jewels.

Of course, to prevent such Pokémon from being too overpowered, the activation rate can be something like 1% (perhaps lower for matches less than 5), if not less, with Cheer Pokémon being potentially useful in a 1HKO team.

A self-destruct ability can also be quite neat (basically a M-Gengar/Shiny M-Gyarados effect that only occurs when activated).

Perhaps such abilities can be Skill Swapper exclusive (like Ground Force for Donphan).

I'm annoyed that Poliwag has the "Cheer" ability. I maxed out my Shiny Magikarp and now he's as good as useless. =P

I finally encountered and caught Phione! Yay! Funny enough I did not encounter Starmie even once after switching a couple of pokemon to ones I wanted to level up. : D

Now I can focus on the EB.

I almost missed Phione on the initial runthrough, until I got onto this thread and noticed people mentioning it. I'm so glad I went back and got it, because it's pretty good.

For anyone still doing the Safari, M-Gengar is the key to kill off the critters the soonest, coupled with some Grass types. My take for the Grass Pokes are Roserade and Chestnaught.

I scooped up about 20 Exp Boosters S in 60 plays in all. On my secondary 3DS, like 15 plus a couple of Expo Boosters M in 50-60 plays.

Stopped for the moment at 179 on the EB for Zygarde. Need some coins and waiting for tomorrow's and the Saturday's gifts from GS (jewel and a MS) before tackling both 180 and 200.

I have finally fully candied M-Rayquaza! Only took me about a year I think. Oh well, I'll probably have M-Shiny Gyarados fully candied a year from now...

@Nego .. and M-tyrannitar by the end of 2019, as they are handing the MSU...

I feel that GS just should open a store for the MSU, like 5 MSU for a jewel, or even 3 MSU for a jewel.

Since I candied M-Rayquazza I've been saving all my MS (now 12). I was about to spend them all on Shiny Gyarados, but M-Tyrannitar came along and I don't know what to do. Maybe I'll just wait to see its appeal and decide.

I spend the whole Saturday and all Sunday's morning grinding Meowth (amassed 45k coins). Beat stage 200 and 250 today. Call it quits. 2 RML (I have 11 of them) are not worth it to lose sleep over, and I'm down to 25k coins.

Tornadus' stage has been a disappointment. Just one miserable MSU, compared to the 3 that I had on each previous chance a day.

@Rikaria I received one from Thundurus yesterday after using the team suggested by GS. I think that it is better to have lots of combos with less damage than 2-3 big combos. I haven´t tried today, but I´m gonna use M-Rayquazza, Golurk, Excadrill (suggested) and Hippo.. (something), with a +5 Moves.

Heh, true. I just have to beat M-Tyrannitar first. >_>

I still have about 53 main stages to beat so it'll take me a while, especially now that I will be spending time (an presumably coins) in preparations for tomorrow's update.

You serious? What a bunch of turds they are.

That has been a thing in the mobile game for decades. I'm surprised if this is the first time they do it here.

Wow.

Apparently GS wants people to stop playing this game.

Specially considering that the stage is pretty hard itemless, plus the fact that you need 30 specialized boosters to get Eject+ to lvl3, with an activation rate of 65,100,100 (from 50,100,100).

This is a big no-no, GS.

So, I was thinking about the fact that Skill Swappers have become a bit common. With what Pokes have you used your SS on? I've used on Ampharos (Mega Boost+), Raikou (BB+), Suicune (BS+) and on Donphan (Ground Forces). I still have 3, so I'm really eyeing Leafon for Eject+ and Mew for Block Smash +.

What are your thoughts?

Couldn't help myself... beat Zygarde 300 with 12 moves left, full item run (MS was not necessary).

Manage to grind Meowth very effectively for the last three days. Now with 38k coins. Going to sleep and focus on more grinding til Saturday and then a run in Garchomp, get Suicune to skill level 3, level 13 and Mew to skill lvl3.

Just beat up Zangoose, and got a golden present with TWO THOUSAND COINS. Apparently this is a thing now 0_o
