Pokémon Rumble World

I'm only rank 10 (soon 11) is there gimmick i can abuse to catch pokemon.
Try using a pokemon with the gutsy trait if you have one. They increase the probability of making opponents wobble which is a 100% catch rate. Alternatively, use moves with a high critical hit ratio as crits also cause wobbles. Also, be sure to defeat any sparkling Pokemon as they're a guaranteed catch too.

Way too long after you should get it, also this website has a lot of info (along with typos because it's serebii)
Aaand even serebii doesn't have the info, I forget what king's challenge it's after but I'll tell you this it seems so far into the game that telling you when it does become available would just be cruel...also I have no definitive challenge number.
 
Is there an effective way to grind for stronger Pokemon?

My most powerful right now is a 1053 Latias, but next recommended challenge Power is 1150.
Honestly, I feel about this you hit a wall and the best thing to do is just rank up. Other good tips: Use Endeavor to help capture bosses. Bosses (generally) have higher power, I believe, so try and capture them. Legendaries also have higher power than regular bosses, so get those too. All species captured bonus can be good for getting high rank mons too. For captures I'm using a Giga Drain/Endeavor Sceptile, which works wonders. Mega Sceptile is...well, it helps, but really the thing is the longevity of it. I've managed to survive on only Sceptile until the regular, non boss enemies stopped spawning...which I did not know that could happen. The general strategy is simple - wait until the boss does a few attacks, then when it has white smoke above the head (not all around it, that's an invincible phase), then spam endeavor. Use the weak enemies to heal up so you stay in good condition. If the boss resists Giga Drain or you don't think you can kill it in a wobble, then feel free to weaken it a little beforehand.
Hope this helped :)

I wish nobody told me about this game because I find it highly addicting.

For a free-to-play game it is totally worth the download.

I have gone as far to go through the microtransactions within the game and I've bought 1,750 Diamonds to get me started and with 6:30 hours game play with the little boosts Diamonds give I'm currently rank 26 with my current pokemon being a Scyther at 832 with Wing Attack and Brick Break. Overall a very good game and hopefully want to get more of.

Certainly a good start.

And as if for karma or pity, my next major capture was a 1092 Groudon with Precipice Blades. Might not be as relevant for long, but it's my second legendary since a rather "meh" Latias.

Well thanks, when you do, pm me.

YOU ATE THE SPECIAL WAFFLES

Now that the mandatory attempted meme circulation is out of the way, contributing with my adoration of this game. The simplicity of the Pokemon Rumble sub-series has had me a fan since the beginning, and this is no exception - it even improved on it a bit.

I love the Challenges that throw some variety into the usual Battle Royales, and I like the unique take on microtransactions. You guys made a good point, in that paying is like getting out of the 'trial version'.

What I really like is how it handles escorts, both in Challenges and the Balloon courses. The Miis don't just follow you around, straight into trouble - they actually back away from the fray if you direct them (by moving towards them), but always remain close enough to give itemized support. Thank you for those X Attacks, Jimera0 !

However...I'm stuck with guarding Diancie. I don't have any high-power mons with Fighting moves, and Diancie, unlike the other escorts, is a combatant.

But eh, I'll get past it soon. It's still an awesome game!

I'm pretty sure I just used magical leaf spam on the diancie level and it somehow worked. When in doubt, use magical leaf and you should be ok. Just use a high level magical leaf mon (because unlike the last rumble game magical leaf is literally everywhere compared to fighting moves). I used like Floette or something and I survived it c: Then replayed with Virizion and it was ez.

My method, if Magical leaf Spam isn't available, is to pick moves with good AoE, whether or not it's great damage. Hitting the enemy usually interrupts their attack wind up against Diancie, so hitting them repeatedly with even a piss-weak Magnitude reduces the toll on Diancie. The trick if you can't defeat the enemies quickly with a Fighting type is to just make sure you hit them quickly and often, whether or not it's hard.

That said, I recently replayed Hard Mode with Groudon (Precipice Blades OP don't nerf).

Caved in and bought the full game. Just got my first epic Pokemon

1750 Bisharp with Speedy/Snappy+/Gutsy+/Lucky++/Punchy/Perky. I gave it Knock Off and Shadow Claw for maximum stage farming. Speedy also means I can dodge boss/minion attacks pretty easily so I don't have to use Protect (Perky messes that up anyways), and Snappy makes Knock Off spam a tad easier.

I'm at rank 63 atm and my current strongest power wise is 2058 Techie+ (why????) Kyogre. However, my MVP even at this point continues to be 1684 Snappy Mewtwo with Bulk Up/Psystrike, who has been dealing unrivaled amounts of damage with Psystrike spam and destroying hard challenges like it's nothing. Not even my 1984 Arceus Rock could compete with the sheer dps of Snappy Psystrike. Granted, Psystrike's range is a bit short and I have to get in close without much protection, but I can usually either vaporize enemies or walk around them thanks to Mewtwo's high Speed (which also serves as a gapcloser).

As a sidenote I'm so sad they nerfed Sky Attack. It was horrendously broken in the original Rumble and it's still decent now, but the lag increase was very noticeable :(.

How long have people been playing the game for? I know it hasn't been out for long but I know that some people spend a bit of time on it.
 
I just got my best mon so far today, not only was it a random drop, but it ended up having a power level surpassing even my kyogre, groudon, and 2 palkia...gutsy zen mode darmanitan, I then gave it fire punch and focus energy to get more catches, with it I have been able to get pokemon I have tried 30+ times to get with no luck...on the first new try.

Embarrassing story, I just thought I lost ORAS. Searched all my games, no ORAS, and Rumble was obviously in my 3ds so there's nowhere else ORAS could be...

...until I realised rumble isn't actually a game I can physically put into the DS...

Sucks though because I legitimately would've brought the full game. Do you guys think if the full game was at the full price and the time for all the balloons was halved would you enjoy it as much? (Knowing that you spent that and you'd finish it faster!)
 
I was playing Rumble World, and I was using my 480 or so zard. I get the Ryperior area in the Diamond Balloon, get a Rydon, and IT WAS 580 POWER! Has anyone else had such a situation where you get a regular Mon that is so much more powerful then your other pokemon?

Also, sorry if I failed on the names. Auto correct is a jerk lol.
