IDK about that, Milotic is pretty disgusting tbh. Also, is there a guide concerning optimal mon combos for S ranks? Stage 150 onwards and I'm getting As at best, and that's with pure luck.

There's quite a few mons who are easiest to S-Rank with certain mons caught.
- Milotic wants Feebas
- Shelgon wants itself
- Granbull does best with himself
- Bannette is a joke with him on your team
- Froakie is easiest with Tropius if you have him (use Eject)
- Braxien needs Keldeo's Block Bash (or else Blastoise/Milotic's Stabilize is your next best).
Other than that, most of my S-Ranks were from item bribery. I'm waiting for some Decent Megas to use against Steelix before I even bother trying that again, and I still need Mewtwo for Timburr.
Floatzel also uses Block Bash. And you don't need Mewtwo to S-Rank Timburr. I didn't catch Mewtwo until right before the Lucarionite event, and I specifically remember S-ranking Timburr on my first attempt with an Optimize team.
That's incorrect, floatzel has stabilize not block bash. Currently the only non-metal types to have the block bash ability are Ninetales, Keldeo, Smeargle (lol) and Timburr.
Wait, so you actually hacked the coding for that level? Is that even possible?
Or by "set it on fire while making a pentagram out of brimstone to send it back to the pits of hell from whence it came" do you mean you basically payed for every useful option, and kept chucking Great Balls until the damned thing acquiesced?
So any ideas on s ranking Raichu (suppose I'm as far as that stage?)
This is the one with the pikachu and pichu frozen in 3 columns? I believe that the solution to that level was merely using mega kenga to free up the columns, and you know, actually make it possible to get more than 1-2 matches per move. I tried it once, on a whim and instantly s ranked the shit out of it.
Basically, as noted, use Kangaskhan (Audino MIGHT work on a lucky run) to remove the Iced Pokemon so you can drop enough Pokemon in to make combos.
I was barely able to use 2 ground types and I still beat the level with mega kenga as you can see in this post.
I did not use any items etc, the level is extremely easy with it, to the point where I think my highest leveled at the time was 4-5. I am willing to do this again on video with my lvl 6 mega kenga and some crappy neutral pokemon right now, just to prove it.
I ....I caved in today and I spent items on onix, I only got disruption delay, mega start and +5 moves. So it didn't cost me the full 14k, only 4.5k.
My team was this.
Mega lucario max level
Marrowwack max level
Keldeo lvl 9 (could have been substituted for kyogre for more power)
Shaymin lvl 6 (could've been substituted for groudon for even more power)
Keldeo and shaymin were next to wasted here because there were no disruptions to delay (via shaymin) or unbreakable blocks to remove, so only more power would have really mattered because I used disruption delay.

I wasted most of my gems on hearts because I was 1) impatient to make progress without having to wait for so long when I started out, 2) afraid the original Lucarionite competition would be over before I could get a competitive enough team to get a high score. The home exploit let me get the mega stone even with a subpar team however.
Wait, an S-Rank clear I assume? How close of a margin was this? As in, do you think you needed the items AND got lucky, or the items were enough?
I used mine on the pack that awarded you the most coins way back for the mega blastoise competition, after that I learned to to grind coins on my own and haven't used gems ever since :p
Thought so! I now feel stupid that I didn't save them up. Especially since I've only used them on stupid shit due me being impatient..
I got S rank of course and I think I had either 9 or 10 moves left. Also it was NOT luck, it was the sheer numbers adding up from no stupid ass disruptions and mega lucario dealing 702 damage every time I made it clear three rows of pokemon at once.
I am only here to say this, after months, I finally beat Mega Glaile. :D My life is redeemed.
