Pokemon Shuffle General Discussion

The Immortal said:
this is the first time i'm attempting to go all the way on an escalation battle. i usually stop at 100. man after level 280 it's pretty difficult. i have to use attack power or risk wasting a heart. team is mega latios / dragonite / zygarde / haxorus. currently at 285 and counting.

in other news, got a thundurus psb every day so far. my reshiram is up to skill level 3, don't know if i should bother any more. in several games i have yet to get a greninja psb; giving up on that. still many days to work on kyogre but i have it up to skill level 2.

as for safari, wasted like 20 hearts so far and haven't found phione. already caught everything else from last time. if i get it then i can start playing mew.

edit: level 300 wasn't too bad. you just have to get it almost done before the disruption kicks in.

I would recommend trying to go far enough into Escalation battles to get the reasonable Mega Speed Ups. Rayquaza is a massive investment, but when you reach him, he makes a WORLD of difference with how absurd his combo potential is.

I'm up to level 215 and climbing, managed to go itemless except on the "boss" stages for the most part using a team of Rayquaza, Zygarde 50%, Goomy, and Mamoswine. Some stages it was ideal not to use the DD because Disruptions started combos.
 
I reach level 250 ans I think I Will stop there. In The previous Zygarde EB, I abused for The first time The crystal infinite bug + skip boss level but now with both parts fixed ... Not feeling it and level 275/280+++ are very hard itemless
 
Well... this week's gonna be "fun"

Mega Garchomp Competition: Disrupts with Suicune Icons and Blocks. Has Fast Match. Bring a Skill Swapped Suicune and the initial board can potentially give you a massive combo. I just put in a token attempt for whatever free item I get. Consider getting some boosters from the Suicune Special stage, since people going for Fast Match will probably end up making a hasty 3 match that lower levels of BS+ won't always proc.

Typhlosion (Base 70 Fire. Hyper Punch Ability): Disrupts with blocks, Suicune and such can break them, and their initial position is right in line for Mega Garchomp to remove. 300 Coins to play, fairly generous catch rate if you spare the Great Ball.

Daily Mon Set 4 is back.

Lugia: 40 Second "Great Challenge" Time Stage. Can drop PSB's for repeats, but costs 2 Hearts to play. I wouldn't farm unless the rate turns out to be good.

I'm gonna be spending the next several days farming coins for level 300 Zygarde.
 
Not touching Lugia with a 39 1/2 foot pole, but seeing inconsistent reports about drop rates. Some saying none, others saying one a fight minimum. /shrug

Typhlosion's dealt with, will set up a score in the competition and see what happens, other than that a quiet week. (Thank Arceus, between main stages and the escalation I frickin' need one to focus on cat combat.)
 
I've been trying to play in the Mega Garchomp competition and, for some reason, it's saying my device is rooted when it's not :(
 
Managed to do a good score for Garchompite with 93K !
Captured easily Typhlosion. PSB for Suicune is probably useless (already 100% for a 4 match). For Lugia, I got 2 PSB by luck ...

Just beat Mega Tyranitar ... and I'm broken ! Back to some gold farming !
 
How do you even go about getting more Skill Swappers? There is on on the ridiculous Battle Card 9, is that the only way? They aren't purchasable or anything? I used the only one I got given on Raikou... Now I realise I should have waited a lot longer to see what was good. Suicune with Block Smash is super useful for the Mega Garchomp stage...

escalation and competitions. i used quite a few. ampharos, entei, suicune, raikou, ho-oh, and possibly a couple more i forgot.
 
Well guess I got everything I needed for this week. Leveled up lugia's eject to level 2, skill swapped mew and got her block smash to lvl 2 as well, beat zygarde up to 250 (not really worth going for the 2 RML at the end). Typhlosion was easy to catch on my first try as well.
I also decided to do a quick run through the safari and managed to find all pokemon besides phione within my first 6 hearts so that's neat.

As for the main stages I'm trying to get some more S-ranks, most notably S-ranking sligoo itemless thanks to a lucky power of 5+ from perfect cell zygarde.

Don't worry, Raikou was the right choice, it is so useful in the many water-type barrier-spamming stages later on. Suicune is the other best choice for skill swap, so use your next one on that, after that it's up to you really.

There are free daily check-in rewards coming to mobile next week to celebrate 8 million downloads and one of them is a skill swapper! Too bad the M-chomp comp will be over by then :/ Still useful though..

what's the best ability for mew? power of 4+ sounds tempting. i have just one skill swapper left so don't want to waste it on the wrong choice.

For Mew, I've seen most people recommend either Block Smash+ or Eject+. I haven't done a count of which is more useful based on stage number, but Golurk is a Block Smash+ for a shared weakness (Poison) while Lugia is Eject+ for Fighting.
 
What teams does everyone use when Meowth farming? I usually use Mienshao+2 mons I want to train, leaving the 4th slot empty for an unleveled Pidgey.

I run Conkeldurr and something else I want some EXP for. Conkeldurr's Last Resort makes it easy to save the damage until the end after Meowth has spawned the coins.
 
I use Keldeo-R for Meowth farming, it's easier to control than old good Conkeldurr which I stopped using after last ditch effort got a damage buff. I Also use a another neutral power of 4+ (Ash Greninja ), Dusknoir and Pidgey (default when you bring 3 pokemon).
 
Keldeo-R + three neutrals here. Keldeo-R EB needs to be repeated soon however... but not this Tuesday because come on, back to back to back escalations for those who like going very deep / all the way is just x_x

Also Suicune's PSB drop rate is pretty rubbish from grinding it. Currently 14 PSB's away from SL3 BS+ and not once has it dropped more than one PSB a run and the drop rate had been pretty low. Made even worse when I threw 8k coins worth of attempts at it for just 4 PSB's. Raikou and Entei weren't this bad.

As for Zygarde, I've done 250 and may or may not go all the way depending on Meowth luck, Suicune luck, and after posting a top tier score for Mega Garchomp with full items (getting 50k itemless means it shouldn't be too hard).
 
I use whatever needs XP for Meowth, which will be based on whatever events are currently up, or whatever low level high power Pokemon I have. Like Suicune right now I need to level up for the Garchomp competition. And I'm using Thundurus as well cause I just caught it last week.

RIP Goodra. Your minor niche has already croaked.

Shaymin's gonna be tricky for me, because I'm short of coins for Diancie Escalation, but the value of Sleep Charm Skill Boosters speaks for itself. Gotta partition my hearts or pick a stopping point.
 
So I got Garchompite... But I played that safari probably 100 times and I didn't get Garchomp once from it. Never encountered it at all. Many MANY Staryus/Starmies (lots of XP, easy stage but never caught) and Furfrou. I think I got Gible a few times, Gabite twice last night (managed to catch that) and Phione once which I also managed to catch. Not even a whiff of Garchomp anywhere... I don't even know what his stage was like.

Not even trying to complete this anymore, I spend nearly all my hearts on the Special stages or the Expert stages because I have nothing with which to push forward the main "story" missions. Completely stone walled on the Larvesta stage (157). I don't even know why I keep opening the damned game :( It's got me trapped god dammit! I just tried Shaymin and didn't even deal 25% damage. I never even bother with all the legends which would help me out because I can't even get close to beating them, and then if I did I'd have like a 5% catch rate.

At least with the EB stages I can stack the odds in my favour... Though I'm not sure if I have a team which will be able to get me to 50 for both Diancie and her megastone. I have to use Mawile if I want an SE Mega, but I'll probably fall back to my max level Gengar for it.

On the plus side at least I give people some hearts and shit for logging in and get my 500 coin stipend each day so yay I guess?
 
Are you sure you play 100 games ? Because it's impossible, GS change the RNG, if you play 100 times, you are SURE to encounter

21 Gible
12 Gabite
03 Garchomp
21 Staryu
21 Starmie
21 Furfrou
01 Phione

Probabilities don't work that way. You are not 'sure' to encounter those amounts, but you can 'expect' to encounter those every 100 safari games (Given there is no dependency on what you found before)
