Topic: Pokemon Shuffle

I've decided that I'm not going to bother trying to conquer Level 200 Zygarde, and at this rate, I'd never be able to reach Level 300 by Tuesday anyway. I can barely scratch Level 200 Zygarde itemless, and I don't want to go on an all item run only to end up spending a jewel (or two… or three) as well. Not worth it for a single stinkin' RML.

I give up. Back to the main stages I go.

I know my placing will change by the end of the week but I just had to take this screenshot because I don't think I've ever seen myself within the top 50:

That was literally on my second go too.

@sillygostly This time its easier than the last same EB.

@Nego: Congratulations!! I think this is gonna be the most competitive.. er, competition ever in PS.

Had for this week a really good run at grinding Meowth. Yesterday, I racked up more than 17k coins. On a four-day run, including today, I've gained so far 51k, and a total of 76k since I beat Zygarde 50%.

@Rikaria By the way, do you know any upcoming event? I'm torn between spending all my coins on S-ranking a couple of full-item-runs needed stages or prepping for any surprises (some are talking about a new EB, which I doubt).

Eh, that sucks. I'm not going to be able to play the game much for the next couple of weeks so I'm grinding Meowth in order to have enough for the special stages. However, I will also be unable to connect to the internet every day so I fear I'm going to miss some special stages and a competition. Oh well. :

Connecting every day has it's perks though since that free 500 or 1,000 coin reward is tempting.

But yeah, I know how the system works.

Is it worth it for me to get back into this gamr or jave I already missed out on too much?

It feels like it has been a year since I have played... so it is probably too late? That is too bad, I started to really miss the game. It was nice to have a quick puzzle game to pull out and enjoy

@Rikaria Beg to differ. Recently I took my son's 3DS with me on a trip to NY (for 8 days). I managed to beat all the Special events, but, yes, I had to resort to more coins and special items in order to do so. Also, I managed to defeat Zygarde %50 up to level 100 (I think I might go all the way to level 200, since I'm sitting at level 126).

I'm trying to keep this (a blue Pokemon 3DSXL) and my secondary 3DSXL (Luigi's 20th anniversary) up to date in events. One of them (I can´t remember which) has two Pokes not found in my main one (Alakazam and a Ghost Pokemon I can't remember).

@DefHalan You can always download Pokemon Trozei...

@maceng I do have that, but it is no where near the same as Shuffle lol

@DefHalan In general, if you have been absent of the game for a year, you have missed the RML craze as well as the introduction of the skill swapper pill. However, I feel that if you really enjoy it, you can still play it. Yes, some stages are bound to be much more difficult, but no impossible. For example, I keep a 3DS up to date, doing every special events as well as s-ranking all levels and getting the unlocked experts in a breeze. So, in the latest EB I managed to beat all 300 levels, easily. In my secondary 3DS, which I play 3 times a week, maybe 30 hearts/week, I´ve only manage to beat level 125. Yes, I could go further, even stage 200, maybe needing the same roughly amount of coins as with my main 3DS.

I think that in a year of continuously playing it, you´ll catch up with at least 95% of the really important stuff.

Oh, little did you know, that shaymin in the fourth spot is actually a hacked ditto.

In other news, white Kyurem is awesome. I could finally beat Exploud itemless thanks to it.

Yeah, I'm disappointed in no Feraligatr as well, it's one of my favorites...

GF must have something against starter evolutions. Still no Empoleon, Torterra, Serperior, and Samurott lines...

Most of the new updated was inferred down at Reddit: Zekrom, Zygarde Complete, a new EB. Some adventured and hoped for Charizard-X (like me) and others for even White/Black Kyurem.

However, yes, most where hoping for Feraligatr as well.

Me? I'm just happy there isn't a new Safari with emotion Pokes, nor new stages. I'm also hoping that the latter stages on Diancie's EB are nerfed (280 onwards) like they did with Zygarde%50.

By the way, caught White Kyurem with Attack+ and DD, with 11 moves left (50% catch chance). No Great Ball needed. Still, I didn't S-rank him for some reason...

After lvl100, these are the rewards for the Diancie EB (already at level 36):

Spoilers:

• LV130: Exp Booster M x2
• LV150: Mega Speedup x1
• LV180: Skill Booster S x1
• LV200: Raise Max Level x1
• LV250: Skill Swapper x1
• LV300: Skill Booster L x1

By the way, there are some coins levels, that seem to be skippable (not sure, as I wouldn't know, right?). But Diancie just spawns 4 coins.

EDIT: WOW, first Skill Booster L!! Lots of MSU (3).

Just finished the Diancie's EB. 300 stage finished with the same team as before, full item run and, thankfully, no need for a jewel (beat in the very last move!!). Received a skip from lvl296 to 300. (only had to do one of the very hard ones, 295, with a +5Moves and a Attack+).

Had a very successful Meowth run (26k coins), so I finished with 17k coins left. Diancie's EB has become the hardest Eb ever, thanks to the lack of any good Pokemons to deal with it (no BB, no BS either) and two underwhelming Megas. Hope that either M-Aggron or M-Beedrill receive a M-Rayquazza mega power.

EDIT: thinking of using the skill booster L on Togekiss. What are your thoughts?

@dizzy_boy Don't worry about it, if you think that's bad, I only recently reached Deoxys. And I have plenty of S Ranks to do, I think Mewtwo is still locked for me (though I caught it in Special)

Lately I have been too focused on special stages as the main stages became difficult to beat itemless, but now I'm back to trying to burn through the main stages.
