Points help determine level ranking, and you need a certain number of S rankings to unlock Expert levels. So scores do matter somewhat. Plus, I think the more points, the more EXP your Pokemon receives, helping them level up.

The rank is determined by the amount of turns you have left, usually the number for an S is "half or more", but it varies with the levels.

I don't think that's accurate. I think it's purely a points thing. Replaying that Meowth level so much, I'm fairly sure I've received A and S rankings even with the same number of turns left.

No, it's the turns left that determine your ranking. That's why you can basically buy the S ranks with the +5 moves on most levels.

How many of you guys have S-ranked every single level in the game without using any real money? After around 60 hours of playing the game I finally did it a few days ago.

Those +5 count towards your Ratings? Wish I had known that before.

Yeah, I guess it is moves left. Interesting.

@J Fox Nicely done. I have S ratings on all but three Expert levels and I haven't paid anything. Now I'll just buy seconds though and get the rest.

Ya I'm willing to side with turns counting more towards rating. I did a test of my own in one of the stages. As long as I have a certain amount of turns remaining (in that test 2 or more), the score didn't matter. In one part of the test I scored 2217 with 2 turn left and got an S and in another I scored 2905 with 1 turn left and got an A.

I would like to know the person who can catch all the Pokemon with the exception of Mewtwo without even using coins or jewels. That one seems like a more difficult likely impossible task especially with some of the troublesome mega evolution.

I know it's the turns, because I once finished scyther's level with a super combo, I ended up with about 16k points. A.

Then I finish it under with 9k but with many moves left, then I get an S.

Yeah, it's moves. I was wrong. Obviously I knew the more turns left the more points you'd earn so it usually came down to turns anyway, but I thought perhaps points played some role in it all.

I think the score has a role in the exp the pokemon win at the end.

Any tips for Mega Glalie? I've been stuck on it for a few days.

Spend some coins on Mega Evolving at the start. Maybe the +5 moves as well. Trust me; Mega Gengar is even harder. In fact, I have stuck on Mega Mewtwo for nearly two weeks now. To be fair, I spent most of my hearts fighting Mega Blastoise. (even though I'm only ranked 16000 )

You'll have to spend coins on Mega Evolutions unless you just get really lucky. Complexity -1 makes it a lot easier and (should) remove Glaceons from the level making combos a bit more natural.

In general try to make moves at the bottom unless you have a great move somewhere else.
Try using MegaSlowbro. He basically acts as a Complexity -1 because more often than not one match will clear all Slowbros out leaving only your other 3 Pokemon. Even if I had a better option for typing as a Mega/Lead, Slowbro is a great choice thanks to his Mega ability.

New main stages and the Pokemon list is now up to #226 with two more potential mega Pokemon.

Ooh nice, I gotta see that.

Edit: yay I got the blaistoisite, and groundon is in the special levels too.

He's hard to catch.

My Team Magma prayers have been answered, Groudon has landed!

MAGMA! MAGMA! MAGMA!

Also, I got the Blaistoisite, but it costed me my nose(and also my leg)!

How much did it cost?

In this miiverse doodle, I forgot to draw my nose, so it costed me..........my nose in the end : ( (though, it looks like it's on my chin, LOL)

Lol, got my Blaistoisite and used it on Groudon right away! So happy I finally have my Groudon! I hope we'll get Ho-oh/Lugia next (or somewhere down the line). Yay for new levels as well. Still in the process of S-ranking everything, though it seems that the list just got longer, heh.

Looks like level 180 is a mega Pokemon.
