First for we're all idiots for still playing this.
>>24585898
A lot of people still play old iconic games like Tetris and Pac Man.
If you enjoy it, you shouldn't be ashamed of it. A good game is a good game, no matter how old.

>>24586029
Sorry anon, I woke up in the middle of the night and saw the thread was about to expire and since I don't play mobile I forgot Lugia Ho-Oh and Celebi were around last week. Yeah mobile max mons should be 227 not not 230.

>i just burned a megastart to try Srank milotic and it took me 10 turns for the first mega ampharos tile appear
mobile life is suffering
fuck you James you hacking cunt
>>24586158
>struggling to s rank anything in mobile
it takes 1 day to get 10k coins in mobile and as long as you invest your hearts on meowth you wont waste time on anything else.
also i started playing mobile around 2 months ago and i remember that you can only get 1 reward for competitions, so for everyone doing the gardevoir comp, if you win speedup you wont get the mega stone?
>>24586217
I never said struggling
I said the game is bullshit and hid the megatiles when I used megastart once so I lost some coins
>>24586217
first places are megastone + speedup
then just megastone
then just gem
Daily reminder to leave Dittomerica.
>>24585647
FIRST FOR OP A SHIT! :^)I know, I know... Most of the times I'm just maymaying those words. But this time holy crap...
avengah isnt even in the top 5 EU right now and OPs picture is only a few minutes after the competition started. Newfags will see this shitty thread and come to the conclusion that avengah may be back on the top. B-but avengah a shit.
Also the fact that >>24586046 excuses for his fucking up...
LITERALLY CONFIRMED that a-fail-gah made the OP...
:^)
So how do we get coins from these daily Pokemon? I only get rock disruptions.
>>24586380
Get a 4+ COMBO on the first turn. But Meowth is by far the better coin grinder still
>>24586455
out of 5 daily pokemon coin runs I got:
- 1x 530
- 2x 130 (fuck those rocks spawning right over the coins)
- 2x nothing (no initial combo)
soo pretty mehh.. like a bad meowth run I guess.
I even bought a +5 and tried to get combos withshufflemove. Endet with 1300 coins this run. So just like a 530 coins meowth run.
tl;dr: only grind coins on meowth. If you havent caught the daily yet, bring the previous daily with you and hope for a initial +4 combo to get 5 delicious coins
daily pokemon spawn coins? i caught kecleon on my first run and then went back to meowth right away
then i got bored of grinding meowth and now i'm trying to level my fire mon + lugia for whenever they finaly get off from their asses and release genesect
M-Charizard/Lugia/Ho-oh/Heatran is the best anti-bug team i can field on mobile right? i know the ability sucks but this way everyone has 80 attack and it's not like regirock,aurorus or the other fire pokemon are better
>>24586749
The mobile dailies wont
>>24586596
So it's a combo BEFORE the first turn then. Such a bizarre thing to do, you don't even get a combo unless you bring the previous daily Pokemon.
And the few times I tried it, it kept spawning coins together. First time it spawned 4 in a row. Next 3 times it spawned 3 in a row.
>>24586780
Your fault for palying the inferior version
>>24586814
wait... the dailies in the 3DS version are different, i guess then that make sense
Who is avengah and why is he such a faggot?
>>24586834
Dracaufeu pls :^)
>>24586806
It's on or before. At 14 moves remaining it changes. You could potentially get a +5 and summon 25 coins.
>>24585900
>that trip
captain underage, please go
>>24586893
Not for me. I got a 6 combo on my first move and it just spawned rocks. It only spawns coins when I take Dunsparce and it combos before I do anything.
>>24586286
I'm sorry I've failed you, I'll never make another thread in the middle of the night without double checking theinferiormobile version's eventsI was going to use the afailgah a shit pic but I saw the one I did use and thought it was posted afterwards.
>>24587512
So yes for you
If there's 14 moves left, or you've made a single move unless you bought M+5, it won't spawn coins. If you're not buying M+5 the only way to get coins, as was said before you disagreed and then said the exact same thing, is to bring the previous daily for combos.
>>24588351
>as was said before you disagreed and then said the exact same thing
Where? Anon said it's ON the first turn but it's not, it's BEFORE. The first turn is when you actually move an icon.
>>24589306
That was my bad. It was a misunderstanding of when the countdown switched. I did test it though, and coins will spawn multiple times with a moves +5. Its isnt weekend meowth good but its good enough
>forced to update shuffle mobile
>deletes all stages above 150 and changes loads of mons back to placholders
bravo genius sonority
>>24589750
LMAOing at your life
Shuffle Mobile is asking to update, whats new?
>>24589819
nothing
>>24589819
Just some minor interface aspects, and new codes if we're lucky.
>>24589839
>>24589865
Just updated it, you're right.just some interface changes. They changed the way the S rank looks and shows how many stages completed.. I think?
I've caught them all so I can't tell if that's stages completed or Pokemon caught.
>>24589920
Pokemon caught. There's a pokeball icon.
In grinding M-Blastoise I found an interesting quirk about it. It destroys all adjacent tiles but extends 2, same as M-Altaria. However if one of the tiles next to the mega match is also a Blastoise, the line in that direction will actually extend 3 icons. Since on 3DS version making a + match of megas only activates the horizontal and not both like it does on mobile, it is possible to test if having 2 Blastoise icons next to the horizontal match in the vertical direction will extend the destruction 4 icons, as it would if it were matched itself just without also adding the side removal.
>>24590797
this is already known. if you check the google docs under mega abilities, youll see all the testing people has done.
>>24590797
Just got a corner match and yeah it does extend extra.
>>24591023
Well darn here I thought I found something cool.
I haven't been keeping up with all the hot shuffle goss. What's with ditto popping up in every competition? Why is it so op?
>>24591304
>Why is it so op?
It's a wildcard which can be used as a match for anything. So if you have two Arceus and there's a Ditto under them, it'll match them.
>asked to update
>can't download game from play store because third world european nigger
>download game from apkpure instead
>game now gets infinitely stuck on downloading updates claiming there is a connection error
Help?
how in the FUCK do i beat megamewtwo on mobile? fuck OFF
>>24585900
I don't enjoy it anymore, I play it because I don't want to miss out on the events...
Why in the fuck have they not blocked Ditto from being used in competitions? All they need to do is reject uploading a score of the team contains Ditto.
This whole thing just makes GS look bad.
DID I JUST LOST TO A FUCKING SHUCKLE?????
>>24591980
kek
expecting competence from GS
kek
Mega Glalie can go die in a fire.
New I gotta go grind coins just do I can pass the stage. Have only 500 coins at the moment after RNG screwed over my Disruption Delay and -5 moves items.
>>24591990
Git gud
>>24592120
How to increase the catchrate?
tfw you are bad at being bad
Its LITERALLY not possible to have a lower score...
pls mobile fags tell me your secret. How do I get bad at this game :^)
>>24592120
>it's a turtle Pokémon

>>24592106
Well they have already X shown themselves to be more competent than Game Freak, so yeah I thought they might be able to make a trivial change here.
>>24592384
> X
Kek don't know how that got in there.
>>24589865
what codes?
Durant daily stage is pretty shit for the coin combo. 5 attempts with Qwilfish as extra Pokemon and only got a 4 combo once. Even then the coins were placed in a way I could only match 4.
>>24592455
same here. fuck durantnice dubs anon
>>24592455
Right after typing, the next 2 attempts gave me coins, one matched 3 coins instantly while the other allowed me to get 5. I wish Durant would just get in the ball so I can quit this level.
klinklang solution?
>>24592497
Only make matches of three until the stage ends. Basically get good
>>24592497
Match the Klink first and figure the rest out for yourselfor read previous threads
>>24592494
Played Durant 9 times before catching it and only got coins once. And then I could only match 3.
Durant is just worthless dex filler too.
>>24592666
Same. Paralyze fucks the coin spawn with Qwilfish, and the stage layout makes it impossible to connect 5 without sheer luck. After the sixth try i dropped qwilfish for optimize and caught it on the first try
Okay, mobilefag here.
Anyone want to add me on Facebook so I can get more goddamn hearts? E-mail me; my account's private... because I'm dumb enough to connect my real account. -- [email protected]
>>24592811
wait what? how many more hearts you get with facebook?
>>24592819
You send and receive "mini hearts". After you send/receive 4 or 5 you get a real heart. So 5 friends who you send to and they send back will get you 2.
>>24592118
>Mega Glalie can go die in a fire.
Maybe you should bring somefire-type Pokemon, anon.
>>24592811
>normies
>>24592824
so you have to continuouslu send that stuff to get anything?
>>24592846
Yes.
>>24592854
sounds super bothersome
>>24592355
If there are other people with the same score as you, it'll give you the highest possible rank, not the lowest, so there are likely 7 people with scores of 15 in this pic.
>>24592863
you open a menu once a day, click select all > send and you cash in a good amount of hearts at once if you add a lot of people
>>24592921
like how many you get at once? tens? hunderds? milions?
>>24592984
Depends how many people you have. Every time you send 5 or recieve 5 you get a heart. Most likely you'll be getting one or two, aka not really worth the hastle.
>>24592984
Depends how many people you add... which is why I'm trying to add people.
>>24593034
>aka not really worth the hastle.
thats what i wanted to hear
>>24592317
Beat it in a few moves? Granted, its HP is pretty high and with the small amount of moves it may seem impossible. You can't beat it with shitmons, I can tell you that.
Used Lugia (2), Ho-Oh (2), and Heatran (8)
>>24593108
shitmons is all i have so far - how much does the catchrate increase per move left?
>>24592826
>Kangaskhan
>Lucario
>Steel and fire fillers
Still couldn't win even with items. Didn't help RNG didn't give me Mega Evolution until the Disruption Delay wore off.
Also, farming Meowth is lame. Either waste time matching the coins but run our of moves, or attempt matching 4-5 coins but Meowth accidentally becomes kill.
>>24593177
if you cant continuously go for five, aim for four coins
its easier and you still have 4-3 moves left to kill the fucker
>>24593141
3% for every move remaining, if you kill it 1 move (which i did with charizard/ho-oh/heatran) it maxes out at 22%
>>24591773
i don't know if it was a server problem or it was because i update manualy from the title screen but i solved the problem even without you unhelpful jerk
>>24593290
well got lucky and i got him with charmander, pidgeotto and swablu with one great ball with the super catchrate
hi guys when should i start doing expert and special rounds? I just got Ivysaur on mobile.
56 pokemon at level max, 6 at 9 and 11 at 8.
Thats decent?
What minimum base power should a mon have to be concidered to max out?
>>24593554
a good ability or BP 70+
>>24593381
You can start both already, if you have enough 'mons and they're strong enough. You might have a chance at the daily Pokemon but for Lugia/Ho-Oh/Kyogre probably not unless you use attack power to even have a chance
>>24593381
there is no real good ETA, just give it a try as soon as you can field a bunch of SE with decent abilities (no shit like opportunist,risk taker or disruption removal that's not on the stage) at least 60 BP, and the right mega
mega are every 15 stage and i'd say you at least want M-Glailie at stage 120 and M-ampharos (who's stage 100 but the actual ampharos is stage 130)
try to start with articuno, 70 BP + power of 4 makes him pretty good
>>24592811
Just go to the Facebook page of Pokemon Mobile Shuffle and you'll find people looking to add for hearts.
>>24592819
I added like 20 people and get 5 five hearts a day.
>>24593558
So what would be "good" skills?
>>24593554
80 BP: definitely
70 BP: the best of each type (for example forget Scyther and Nidoking)
60 BP: top tier abilities only (this pretty much means only crowd control)
>>24593818
crowd controll, would even be usefull on a 50 BP mon.
Power of 4+ even though never saw a below 70 BP mon that has this one.
Also it might be good to level up Flaaffy, in case you dont bring Garchomp as your mega to Ampharos. I mean it still does shit damage, but 35 is better than 25 and those 10 MIGHT save you.
Also since im a huge min-max faggot.
>>24593831
Are Mega Boost 60 BP worth leveling for faster megas or not?
>>24593899
Jirachi only.
>>24593861
hey the guy that grinded flaaffy is back :^)
There is LITERALLY_NO_REASON_ to EVER_GRIND flaaffy anon. NEVER_EVER! NO_REASON!
I repeat:
DO NOT GRIND FLAAFY. IT JUST MAKES NO SENSE
joking aside... it really is not adviceable to grind flaafy. the damage increase is just to low. There is always a better move to make than matching flaafys. Also Amphy resists flaaffy so even less damage
>>24593950
I must be a different anon then cause Im not that meme-guy you are reffering to.
I mean I have 93 at max, Im running out of options.
>>24593818
pretty much anything that deals more damage though power of 4 and crowd control are favourite while opportunist and risk taker are shit
in disruption heavy stage just match the pokemon to the disruption (so bring rock break pokemon in stage with rock) or abilities that delay the opponent pokemon (mind zap is great for those that have a longass count)
didn't we have a pastebin with a tier list for skill anyway?
i have 62,000 coins, what's better getting up to 90,000 with meowth or grinding my pokemon on ampharos?
i was grinding charizard/ho-oh/heatran/lugia for whenever they finaly decided to get off from their ass and release genesect but i'm not sure this is a good idea
also
>sort by super effective pokemon
eat that 3ds shitter
>>24594007
I wonder what I will choose; fair gameplay that isnt trying to jew me and actual content or better sorting methods.
Such a difficult decision
>>24593712
so i pretty much have no chance beating lugia and all the fun stuff when im just at lvl 55
>>24594053
>he's proud of playing easy mode :^)
>>24594105
it's not like you have no chance but it's not ideal to do that, just try to get to ampharos as quick as you can, even if you don't get lugia in time he will be back
>>24594126
please mobile fag, unfair != difficultyOne would expect that this is common knowledge, but mobile shitters love games like flappy bird so common knowledge doesnt apply to them ^:')
>>24594126
>he thinks less hand-holding options makes something easier :^)
>>24594126
whats so great about ampharos?
>>24594143
>^:')
kek fucking up :^)
>>24594171
ampharos gives the most exp (besides relaxo) and hence is good to grind your pokemon.
Its fairly easy to get your pokemon to lv5 with a few runs
>>24594207
oh, im stupid, thought you ment like to get the mega
>>24594207
>implying I fucked up
get unicorn'd
>>24594236
I meant the mega and the answer is simple, he's a mega that's super effective against flying
Though glailie is SE too, but they are only 10 stage apart so...
>>24594007
>sort by super effective pokemon
Was this only just added along with the pokemon count in the corner? Because if so, since 3DS had this week's data coded into last week's update I could see them using this time to prepare 1.3
>>24594471
Yep
So how many coins on average you grind per day?
>>24594669
14h awake and have 3ds near me *2 hearts per hour equals 28 hearts for a day.
Since I'm doing dailies/events/whatever lets say 25 hearts.
An average meowth run (5hearts) is about 2k coins. So 2k times 5... around 10k coins a dayjust joking... I'm injecting coins :^)
>>24594669
10-15k
>>24594799
>>24594808
do you even /life/ ?
>>24586158
>milotic
how do I catch him? Managed to win his bullshit a couple times but never got lucky enough. Spend about 30 hearts only today on him
>>24594927
Let's assume absolute perfect play, 530 coins per meowth run, playing every half-hour on the nose. That's 25440 coins per day. Unrealistic for most but it sets a theoretical ceiling on what can be done.
Let's assume you're able to steal enough time to run through 5 hearts five times a day (wakeup, lunch, home from work/school, dinner, bed) - with perfect play that's 13250 coins a day - almost half of the maximum but it's very doable with perfect luck and finding 5-10 minutes of free time in a day.
Of course, we're not perfect. Let's assume that each 5 heart run nets 1750 coins (two 530s, two 330s and one attempted 530 gets an early kill for only 30 coins) That's still 8750 coins a day for about 25 to 30 minutes invested. It's honestly not that difficult.
>>24595028
bring feebas
>>24595056
I've got m-amp, zapdos, feebas and dedenne on my team
Is this stage purely luck based? I can only win when I get nice positioned feebas
>>24595107
>dedenne
Why? Use something like Raikou or Sceptile
>>24595038
>adjusting your daily schedule to check your game evry 2.5 hours
thats some travian-tier autism mate
>>24595141
Faster Mega. With Sceptile I do about the same damage. Problem here is luck
>>24595170
>not waking up every 2.5 hours to waste hearts on the safari trying to find phione
damnit, I miss phiones wild ride :^)I really hope GS makes a safari with a 0.1% encounter rate... this would be fun
or a safari with 5 pokemon that have 1% each. And of course they resist each other so you cant bring an all-purpose team
>>24593970
How the fuck have you managed to max so many? I've been playing this game since release (besides 2 weeks on holiday), caught everything except Jirachi, S-ranked nearly everything... and I only have 9 Pokemon maxed.
>doing ampharos for xp
>trigger burn
>trigger ho-oh power of 5+
>deal 850 damage without SE bonus
dang this thing is going to deal so much fucking damage upon max leveling
>>24595330
By not sucking.
I have 67 maxed and every released mon below dex number 290 at, at least, level 2.
All the hackers are ruining the events.
They should just release ditto as is but make it unusable in events and give an automatic D rank if used to clear a stage. Just like an easy mode for babbys.
>>24594007
>sort by super effective pokemon
Sweet, I've been saying since the start they should add that. I've no doubt it will be added to 3DS pretty soon.
>>24595395

Can I have infinite lifes using Homebrew?
Since I can update it now, I may as well play again.

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!
Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!
>>24595377
>caught and s-ranked nearly everything
>sucking at the game
Are you actually autistic? You actually genuinely have autism, don't you?
>>24594927
I work 10 hour days with long periods of doing nothing. I can shit coins out like nothing.
>>24595390
The hackers all get pruned before it ends. Chill.
>>24595541
Cool shitposting bro
The OP says there's 230 available on Mobile, yet there should only be 227 once you catch all the daily Pokemon of this week.
Is that a typo or did I miss something?
>>24595742
read the thread
>>24595742
You missed the rest of the thread
>>24595742
Yes its 227.
>>24595610
Maybe you could have provided a valid answer instead of shitposting yourself.
I mean, the only way you can have that many maxed Pokemon is either by hacking, or by literally playing the game at every conceivable opportunity like an autist.
>>24596330
Not that guy but boy do you sound childish right now. You said you've played the game since release besides 2 weeks holiday, and now you're going to say this guy is autistic for playing the game more than you. Isn't that how it always works? If someone's better than you they have no life. Catching and S ranking everything is just what you have to do to get everything in the game, that doesn't make you great at it. This game isn't hard, just buy items and it becomes a walk in the park. Completing everything could be done with no skill at all. It's actually very easy to have that many pokemon maxed out, just go into every week with near max coins, quickly clear out what's new, get back to max very quickly, and then you have a whole weak to spend grinding on Ampharos. You're the one who's shitposting with your overusage of the buzzword autist.
>>24595330
>and I only have 9 Pokemon maxed.
I only grind Meowth for coins until I hit 99k and even I have 23 maxed out with another six or so at 7+. Never even touched Ampharos more than twice.
>Meowth turns my 3rd coin into a block.
You little shit. Why must you do this to me.

Hmmmm
Reminder that heatmors spawn on maractus' stage and bring it along will be absurbdly useful
>>24597057
Helps on MAerodactyl stages. Not a complete shitmon, but only situationally good. At least its 60 and not 40.
I don't get it. I got Supreme in a few minutes. Why don't you get Supreme? You seem to have some frustation because you can't beat or catch one shitmon.mobile Supreme when :^)
>>24597315
>supreme mobile when?
There was at one point where mobilefags were able to exploit a heart glitch for unlimited play which was the closest we got to supreme status. That glitch has long been patched up and so far nobody has found any glitches. Good ol' times tho :'^)
>>24597338
I knew about that glitch, but I didn't want to have to work more than 30 minutes to get Supreme.
So I won't download that shit until Supreme mobile is a thing.
>>24595599
Nice double doubies. But no, not all the cheaters get pruned, only the really stupid/obvious ones.
I'd reckon that at least a good 40% of the prize winning scores are not legit.
Not to mention it prevents you from seeing the proven top teams so you can adjust yours accordingly.
Having a bad time catching Heatmor.
Any tips for clearing faster?
>>24597618
Easy. I caught it with a Great Ball at 86% via SUPER CATCH.
>>24597618
Which team do you have? I usually had 5-8 turns left with Garchomp, Tyranitar, Palkia and another one I forgot.
Tyranitar is very useful for kicking out Heatmors, the rest is just filler.

>>24596359

No, obviously not. Get Dunsparce instead
>>24598506

>>24598495
Are you kidding? Ho-oh is easy, on top of being great. I beat it itemless and caughty it on my frist try. Keep some coins for a greatball if you have to, and turn off the 3DS if it breaks out of the great ball to keep your coins.
>>24597057
i just caught this fucker with zero moves left and questionmark catch rate! Not even a percentage...

>>24598690
That's because mobile hides catchrates under 10%.
>>24598495
>it's a pain in the ass without items
why are you doing it without items then? it's easy as fuck as long as you mega start M-Aero
anyone else from europe is starting to have problem with the game? everytime i start it won't connect to the server unless i manualy tell the game to update my data
i'm starting to think this is a move to keep illegal VPN immigrant like me outside of the game
>>24598518
>Turning off ur DS saves Great Ball coins
This i s a thing?!
>>24598800
Has literally always worked. The game doesn't save until after the results screen. You can turn off at any point after throwing a gb and get your coins back. You can even throw 7 gbs and get your coins back if it comes to that.
>>24598860

I luv u long time
>>24598875
The only thing you lose is the 30 coin reward and exp, which can be grinded far more efficently on other mons. Enjoy your new more efficent catching anon.

>>24599868
You actually don't need to be online in order to get the offline special stages. I tried that a while back when I was out (around the time Pinsir got its re-run). Hadn't checked news cause I had no internet access, Meowth and Victini showed up just fine.
Unless anon meant that he won't be playing shuffle at all
>>24600078
If you go to a new internet forum, it is common courtesy to look around, see how others interact with each other and then interact with the others (unless its a help forum or something of the line, which 4chan obviously isnt).
If you are to different in the way you communicate, people will either mock or ignore you. On 4chan, its mostly mocking.
Considering how adamant you are in the way you type, you are a lost cause and deserve any kind of mockery you get.
Had to explain this to you, because it seems that this is a concept that clearly goes over your head. Also 4chan is a 18+ website.And >>24599732 was 100% you, don't tell lies on the Internet.

Candy Cut-off's for each different region as of now.
The candy cut-off percentage means: in order to get the candy you need to be among the best x,xx% players right now.
The percentage for place means: that my place is among the best x,xx% players.
Some notes:
- I tried to get the same score as good as possible. But since its not the same score there is a small fault tollerance
- Eurofag here and we use a "," instead of a "." for decimels. deal with it
- Those numbers only mean smt right now. If new players submit their score those numbers will get smaller. Except them to drop on sunday significantly

Which mega is best against Mega-Garde? Mawile or Aero?
>>24600332
thx and I actually might...
Expect an updated version on sunday a few hours before the competition ends (~3 to 4 hours i think)
>>24600335
Aero doesnt effect ice, so Mawile.
>>24600366
Affect.
>>24600366
Mega Gardevoir has ice? I only saw rocks and blocks on that stage. I played it itemless once with Mawile, once with Aero, Aero got a slightly higher score.

I was getting scores 4K or more higher using Mawile, but I don't think I'm good at using Aero, so YMMV Having said that, my highest score was a M-Gengar run

You're the worst kind of person.
If I could kill one person in the world - just one - It would be you.
>>24602802
MAero, Palkia, Garachomp, Tyranitar. Just base 80 stuff, go for combos
Maractus sure is ilusive. Haven't caught him in 10 tries...
>>24602909
That's odd.
I caught him in one ball.
How do I this game? I want to have so much gold that I could buy a Complexity -1 as many times as I want without cheating or paying real money.
Is there a specific farming guide for gold and exp?
>>24603136
>Is there a specific farming guide for gold and exp?
It's literally just going to Meowth or Ampharos respectively. For Meowth just try to build up to making a five coin combo on the right(Two above and two below) and knowing when you can't get a 4 or a 5 based on the health and turns left. A win on Meowth is 1160(Or something higher than 1150 at least), and you should just sort by attack and take whatever seems worth taking that won't kill it fast but can help you kill it consistently.. For Ampharos it's just beating it.

Any idea if we're getting anything new this Monday? I'd like a new escalation battle, or even a rerun of an older one, so I can gather some more candies, while catching up on the few S-ranks I have left.

No data in the game. There'll be something but its a mystery for now

>inb4 some 5 day great challenge shitmon like snivy
Has anyone got Maractus to spawn coins? I've only tried the stage once, but got a huge Heatmor combo before turn 1 and got no coins.
>>24604024
It doesnt.
>>24603902
They still have to release the Snivy and Oshawott lines, so you bet your ass it's going to happen, and it's going to be the most boring three or four months of an event.
>>24602572
>>24602909
Took me too long to realize this, then 2nd time i use it maractus gets rekt and caught all while im looking stuff up in serebii.
>>24604048
It wont be in a row either. They'll do it just like tepig. Nov Snivy, Dec Osh, Jan Servine, etc.
>>24602451
isn't spookify basicaly ghost burn? i tought burn was good?
>>24604409
It is a great ability. Its BP isn't great though. Not really sure what that anon was trying to say, not like anyone would expect Spiritomb to be powerful in this game.
i grinded all my best fire mon (and lugia) to 8 and getting to 10 is taking forever, why doesn't ampharos dies quicker than this?
>>24604796
Bring MChompy.
>>24604870
mobile version
>>24604915
well i guess snorlax is releasing soon and then i can just hit him hard with lucario instead
Realistically I only have enough coins for one of these, Gardevoirite or Ho-oh. Which is the better choice? I'm also quite new, stuck on conkeldurr and only have shitmons no decent steel/poison for waifu mon
>>24605779
Grind coins on sunday meowth and do a final gardevoir run with atk+ after doing quite a few dry runs. This way you should get easily the mega stone.
Also concentrate more on ho-oh since its actually quite decent (its better then heatran). Also use shufflemove!
And dont forget to buy exp 1.5 for tomorrows saturday victini>quite new, stuck on conkeldurr...
kek
>>24605834
Well I should say casual then... Playing both mobile and 3DS, this game has ruined my soul.
I usually only get about 2000 for the weekend meowth and that's cutting it close. Just have 10000 earned from grinding regular meowth. What is shuffle move sorry?
>>24605868
Are you using Moves +5 and :
Mega gengar + Quirky-mons
Mega Blaziken + fire mons
Mega Mewtwo + Psychic mons
Mega Banette + Ghost mons
It's pretty hard to get anything lower than 3000 with these.
>>24605868
Shufflemove is a simulator program that attempts to find the best move to take for a given board layout/team. It has a mode for Sunday Meowth, I'd look into it. Using Moves +5 and any of the teams that the other anon said you should do pretty well.
>>24605890
Not +5 moves, didn't think I'd make a profit in them spending coins... I guess I should though
>>24605868
Shufflemove is in the OP and its a turn based calculator showing you the best move under certain conditions. Its great to maximize getting sunday meowth coins.
For sunday meowth you have to use certain teams, just like >>24605890 said. The best team is certainly
- M-Mewtu with 3 mega boosters (espeon and meowstic cats)
- M-Banette with mega boosters/quirky mons (basically the same as mewtwo but with ghosts)
- M-Blaziken with fire mega boosters is also great but can be situational
if you dont have them yet M-Gengar with quirky mons is also quite decent, but not as good as those other three strategies.
Also buy 5 turns!!
>>24605779
Start grinding meowth. Aim for 5s, go for 4s if a 5 wont work. You can easily get 10k and do both.
For Ho-oh, you may be able to squeak by woth MAero and you highest BP SEs, itemless, or with just a ap+
>>24606055
nice dubs anon
also >>24605779
have enough coins for great balls. If a great ball fails you can get your coins back by simply quiting the game and/or shutting of your system
Been grinding a team all week, got M-Aero lv MAX, Dialga lv MAX, Nidoqueen lv 9 and Muk lv 9 ready for Megawaifu.
Should this give me a good shot at the candy?
>>24606257
see >>24600285 and >>24600321
>>24606257
If you have 13k coins, yeah.
>>24606302
8500 at the moment, currently grinding Meowth. But yeah, I'll do an all item run, of course.
>>24606306
You'll be fine. The competition is startlingly easy.
>>24604409
if you're going monoghost its great, but the things weak to ghost are also weak to shit like genesect/darkrai/yveltal which is more consistent
>>24605779
If you have to choose between one or the other, go for Ho-oh. 80BP Fire is always nice, and its ability is bad but better than Heatran's. Unless it changes, Mega Gardevoir is fairly useless.
Reminder to use 1.5x Exp on Victini
Because I didn't
>>24607512
FFS I literally just read your post and went to play Victini, and in my rush I still forgot Exp*1.5.
>>24607512
>>24608113
Wtf? I dont have no Victiny...
I have nothing good left to exp grind and maxed coins, it is worth doing a full item run on mega gardevoir if I already have a score of about 35k in EU or should I just wait for monday?
>>24608176
I would guess that your score is pretty secure for a Mega Speedup.
Are you sure there's nothing left worth grinding? It can be easy to overlook crowd control pokémon like snubbul, grimer and phione.
>max out cresselia
>need another psychic to grind
>there are literally no base 70 psychic pokemon
I suppose it makes sense, considering there's three base 80 mon, but there's three base 80 dragons as well. What's the deal, GS?
>>24608172
No Victini on the inferior version.
>>24608227
There's a proclivity towards legendary pokémon being dragon or psychic type, ya know?
For fucks sake we even have psychic dragons.
Mega Mewtwo Y mobile, how?
>>24608483
git gud
help me /shuffle/, because I'm apparently unable to meowth grind any more. My team of Conk7/phione9/duskull3/lampent4 ends up killing the damn cat in two or three moves from giant-ass combos - I don't even get the chance to get the third coin in line.
Am I using a bad team for meowth, and if so can someone suggest a better one?
>fuck up hard on Megawaifu
>28k points
>Already below the candy treshold
fucking fuck
>>24608614
Don't use fighting types senpai
>>24608614
Just go Conk/Something (Scizor or Heatran work well) and leave the last two spots empty so they're replaced with a Happiny and Pidgey that won't earn exp.
For problems with combos, just watch your moves more carefully. Try to avoid clearing more than three icons at a time until you're ready to deal damage, try to make matches at the top of the board instead of the bottom when you can, and be on the lookout for what can lead to obvious combos from the skyfall (like making a match that leaves two icons next to where new icons will drop).
>grind sunday meowth on my own
>4300 coins
>try shuffle move since everyone keeps saying how great it is
>5300 coins
well i did 1000 coins better but i was expecting more
>>24609230
I know all that, but it doesn't help when skyfall just shoves combos down your throat. Things like, when moving the first coin into position would make a T-match of phione. No big deal until both of them proc crowd control for 650 apiece and its dead.
Most of the trouble I get into is when I'm moving the 4th coin into position, there's usually only one move that lets me play for 500 (it's rare I can play for 300, I basically have to commit by turn 3) and it just cascades into 1500 points before I can do anything.
>>24609313
Seriously, stop using fighting types and crowd control.
>>24608614
use meowth to grind your pokemons
my team follows this pattern for weeks now
highest unmaxed mon/60bp/60bp/60bp
4 out of five runs end in 530 dosh
>>24609313
make matches on top of the board
>>24608614
I've been doing quite well with Audino, Bulbasaur, Riolu, and Hawlucha. None of them do too much damage so you have quite a bit of flexibility even if you accidentally combo too much. Slight risk of not quite knocking out Meowth but I usually get it working quite well. And as always, don't get too greedy. If there's a too much of a risk for the 5 settle for the 4 or even 3.
>>24608341
On that note, I wonder if they're going to make Latios Psychic or Dragon. They could very well make it Psychic, but either one is going to have a fourth base 80 at the end of the day.
Still wish there were a couple of base 70 psychic mon.
>>24609381
The same exact ability, bp, and mega effect as Latias but Psychic imo.
Plus it gives Psychics a good destructive Mega.
>>24609313
Having Crowd Control and a fighting type seems like overkill. Here's the strategy I use:
1. First thing is to try to move the coin in the lower left over to the far right column. If there aren't two icons next to the coin, I try find a way to make them there next turn. If not, go to step 2 and try later.
2. Make a simple horizontal three match to drop the top right coin down one level. There's almost always an easy way to do this when the level starts, and if not, it's easy to set up. Sometimes I do this first if the three icons needed to match are in the second row from the top, since the board won't get disrupted as much as when making move 1. If you've made move 1 before doing this, make sure it's being put in a place where it will line up properly with the other coins and not end up in the middle, preventing a five match.
3. Before the first coin is spawned, I need to get step 1 and 2 done. If I have, then I do a small number of Conkeldurr matches to build damage; no combos, while trying to avoid erasing the icons I need to be on the board to move the next coin in the right position (if it happens to be Conk, then I don't match those). The coin spawns in a random position, but it will never spawn on the "edge" of the board, and the more icons I leave that I need, the more chances it'll spawn next to them. If steps 1 and 2 haven't been completed, I screw it and go for a four coin match by dropping the coins on the right one more level.
4. When the coin spawns, I either need to be able to move it the same turn, or make one move to be able to move it the next turn. If I can't, I go for the four coin match.
5. Until the fifth coin spawns, I do the same as in step three, doing small damage while avoiding combos. What I choose to match depends on how much health is left. Avoiding big combos, and only matching near the top.
>>24609282
Your weekend Meowth score is determined mainly by where the RNG decides to spawn your coins every turn. The real money comes from when Meowth makes his own 3+ combos multiple times in a single move. Shuffle Move really doesn't help much with it.
>>24610025
Plus entering the board layout on every turn is a complete waste of your life.
Got 33k in Europe. AM I__SAFE__for the candy? :^)
It's possible to have a score in multiple regions with HANS, idk if they're banning me for that. Was bored and decided to invade the wasteland that is Europe.

>>24611551
>those scores. Also pls do another run so you are at least in the top 5 in all three regions :^)mfw I barely managed to get 54k in japan by sheer luck and a 54 m-mawile combo in the last second. Nai pls... how do I gid gud?
M-Aero is good to hold the combo but I always fuck up near the end. M-Mawile on the other side does good damage and a good combo in the last seconds is like +10k points. help :^)
>>24611579
>all three regions
>fucking japan
I may do some runs in vanilla shuffle tomorrow if I'm really bored but I probably won't even show up at all because GS probably won't clear the dittos until the end of the competition.Idk, keep the combo till the end? i use my headphones at max volume, hold the ds at most comfortable position and only do runs when I'm alone in the room, the rest is up to you and RNG. M-Aero is also pretty good because you can intentionally combo other things until triggering the disruption then just match an Aero you had already left there, so it'll clear more shit while you do combos. This competition is pretty straightforward, you just choose a mega (both Mawile and Aero are optimal) and match shit, nothing else unless you want to go super high with Normal team but I only saw top japs doing that. I haven't tried Mawile yet, literally no one on the tops from non-JP leaderboards are using Aero so I wanted to be the hipster, but I also like how it works similarly to Gengar for combo stalling
>>24611697also my NA score was combo broken. it could easily be 60k+ if I didn't fuck up
>>24611697
will try this on sunday :^)
>use my headphones at max volume
I fucked up terribly on my Mega Aero run, only getting 28k, so I'm going to give something else a go this time.
Gengar or Mawile?
>>24612292
>M-Mawile
>managed 26k
Holy shit how do people do good at this thing?
>>24610257

Fuck anon, I've been stuck in the same exact stage for a week.
Fuck yeah, 7000 profit on Sunday Meowth, think that's my best ever. Meowth just kept disrupting over and over. Even got a few 700s.
>>24612917
Yes and Nidoking has Po5, therefore it's shit.
>>24608483
I beat it using just moves+5 and disruption delay
>run meowth all the week since lame kyogre and groudon rerun
>use shuffle move when doing weekend meowth
>suddenly 80,000 coins
wow i didn't believe i would ever max coin and yet here i am just 19,000 coins away from doing it
When should I stop grinding for money?
I can only get 120 coins each time I play the Meowth stage.
Seems like my score(34103) won't be good enough for the candy, but i really don't want to spend 12000 coins for another full item run.
Should I try or not?
>>24613476
when? Never
and git gud 1500 per 5 hearts should be bare minimum
>>24612917
>for example forget Scizor and Nidoking
lern2readThough Scizor will be useful when it gets a mega
>>24613647
>Scizor
I actually said Scyther anon. My point was to forget Scyther and train Scizor instead, exactly for the reason you stated. For BP70 bugs I'd rank them
1. Heracross
2. Scizor (only because you get it early)
3. Pinsir
4. Volcarona
5. Scyther
considering mega speedups are kinda pointless, is it a good idea to spend another 12k to get another try?
Im not realy confident that I get it, since I already tried 2 times and only got close to 33k, both times.
>>24613707
vlcarona should be higher; Mega Boost is a sweet ability
>>24603189
1160 is right, anon.
>>24605958
You should make a profit easily with move+5
>>24608614
I use a Power of 4+ mon over Phione these days so CC doesn't activate on 3 matches and dick me over. Having said that, the real reason I moved away from Phione was that it was max.
>>24609433
That sounds about right. Not sure they'll have enough sense to actually do that. Also the zaps could go right to left instead of left to right just for 'muh mirror'
>>24613707
Yeah both Scizor and Pinsir are worth training even though they're both objectively worse than Heracross, just in case their mega turns out to be GOAT tier shit.
>>24613748
I'm >>24612292 >>24612342
Currently grinding Meowth for a third try.
>>24613754
Nah, Genesect is top bug m8. hera is certainly second, and the other two both have potential megas. Volcarona is exactly where it needs to be
>>24613748
Keep trying anon, My first 2 runs were 30K and 24K and I ended up with 39KAfter another 8 runssafe for the speed up.
>>24613763
I was talking about BP70 only. Clearly Genesect is the best bug type.
>>24613819
I know, that's why it wasn't listed, but the point stands, that Volcarona is exactly where it needs to be
Best team for Gothitelle?
>>24613707
Looks I should lern2read :^)
I'd put Pinsir above Scizor but otherwise that list is right
>>24613754
Mega Boost is rarely ever helpful over damage increasing abilities. Scizor's potential to mega puts it higher despite the ability being poor.
>>24613763
>>24613824

not realy, m8.
Pinsir and Scizor have a chance to be a good mega, but that possibility doesnt give them a better standing.
Considering that for Grass pokemon you should use Mega Blaziken + 3 or 2 other fire pokemons, we have Dark and Psychic ones.
Against Psychic, you should always have Darkai with you since its strong and has an extreme strong ability. If you go with M-Heracross, you have 2 slots left, one of them is given to Genesect. And the last slot should be given to one that either speeds-up your mega or increases bug damage, and so far there isnt a 'Mon that increases bug damage, so Volcarona it is. But then again, its much more adviced to focus on a ghost team with M-Banette. If not that, then you should be using Gengar, Darkai, Genesect and Heracross.
This leaves us with dark. If they dont change M-Gardevoir (which they hopefully do because its ability horseshit and only usefull one 1 fucking stage that everyone S-ranked already), the go-to mega is M-Heracross. Other slots are for Xerneas and Genesect. The last one can be used for the Mega Boost or damage increase, which bug's are currently lacking so Volcarona it is.
Of course you could Hybrid both cases and bring Togetic/Togekiss for Dark's and Zoroark for Psychi's, but the point is; Pinsir and Scizor right now arent very usefull. Just because they have potential (which GS will ruin) doesnt make them more usefull right now.

>ability that only helps megas
>megas
>which are better
Nah, Volc is below megas because megas are all it's ability helps. Because megas are literally made better by it's ability, megas are the one who improve, not volc itself.
>>24613875
Use Lugia. Seriously. It works.
>>24613758
Yeah, I'll do that once phione is maxed (it's damn close, will probably get it today)
a rather pisspoor meowth with M-Banette team, only 3300 profit. It felt like a lot more...at least I have the coins for one more M-garde run, the cutoff looks like it'll be in the realm of 36-37k.
praying M-Aero can get me there.
>>24613919
dude, where did I say that volcarona is better than a mega?
I said its better than Pinsir and Scizor, which at the current point are not megas.
And if their mega ability sucks balls, than Volcarona will be the better mon, considering that you will always priortize using Heracross over the other megas and volcarona to help speeding up Heracross's evolution.
>>24613940
Yeah go ahead and waste time on something that only improves other mons, then have those other mons do shit damage when you actually can use them together.
Pinsir and Scizor are above volc.
>>24600285
>tfw i'm on that listas a dittofag
jokes aside, just used it to see how GS handles it.
went up today, check rankings... "Improper data has been sent. You cannot participate in this competition".
My score still holds in-game, but I cant see the ranks to check if it got deleted on the server.
Hope this answers something
NEW THREAD WHEN?!!? :^)

>Pinsir
>shit ability

>shit ability
>your entire post
??
>>24613969
The point he was making is that even though pinsir and scizor have shitty abilities, that they can mega evolve means there's a higher ceiling.
I mean think about it, if it turns out M-scizor is a bug-type mewtwo or gengar, it becomes the absolute best mon of its type.
>>24613978
so basically he just ignored what I replied to him?
Maybe I need to recap it:
- Pinsir and Scizor are not Megas as of right now
- They are NOT usefull right now (see >>24613914
)
- Volcarona is much more usefull right(!) now(!)
Just because they can get a mega stone in the future doesnt make them usefull right now. Atm they are dead weight, only reason to get them is to be a completionist. Making a tier-list like he did is only misleading, as Volcarona has a better use as of now.
They might get a good ability, they might not. Acting like they will get a good ability in a situation that is unclear yet neglects the other event of them being shit megas, in which case Volcarona will still be the better pokemon.
So the best course of action to do is to use what we got right now a.k.a. the present a.k.a. not the fucking future, because the present is certain, whereas the future isn't.
>>24614047
Volcarona is our new maymay :^)
>>24614047
Are you even paying attention?
He's talking about training mons which are useful, or will be in the future. It doesn't matter what their abilities are *right now* since we're talking about training them for future use, since this thread plot goes all the way back to >>24593554, where it's being asked which mons should be maxed out. As a general rule, megas are in that category, while mega boost mons, generally aren't. Normal megas, excepted, of course. So yeah, you go ahead, max out volcarona and the rest of us will use mega start, and three mons that have abilities.
GS has a habit of making stages that a particular mega is very effective to use it on, and I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen in the future.
I don't even like Heracross as a Mega but it's still worth maxing because there are a couple of stages it's GOAT on, even if it wasn't Crowd Control.
>>24614047
only thinking about the current right now present is a sucker's game. We know that GS does a mega comp every two weeks. It's dumb to think they WONT release M-Pinsir and M-Scizor, so those two need to be brought up to speed. If they end up being shit megas, then it sucks but we can't know that yet.
As for Volcarona, its ability is ONLY good if you have a bug-type mega, of which there's exactly one right now. Its utility is exceptionally limited by this, and it logically takes second fiddle unless you have reason to train it (say, a comp that requires M-Heracross)
Volcarona might be better NOW, but you have to assume that the megas will eventually be more important than the mega boost mon.
>>24614099
>a comp that requires M-Heracross
>abilities activating
Good meme.
Why did no one think about playing in all three competitions using hans and getting triple the number of speedups (and also a few extra jewels?)
>>24614096
>>24614099
Well I guess I need to apologize here; I missed the part for training them. Based on that, the Could-be megas take priority in leveling up.
>mfw I took something out of context and argue for a complete different reason
I wish I was less impuslive
>>24614145
Eh, no big deal. You realized your mistake, you copped to it, and I'm not in the business of dragging on pointless arguments.
and even if I DID want to carry this on, it's grinding time.
>>24614145
Fair enough m8, no harm no foul, it's 4chins after all, we wouldn't be here if minor disagreements like this bothered us
>>24613914
Sleep Charm sucks. The low activation makes it not as good as you're saying it is. Po4+ on the other hand, is god tier. Against psychic it should be M-Gengar anyway over M-Heracross, and with either one of them regardless you're using Giratina Darkrai Genesect, and if using M-Gengar potentially drop Darkrai for Heracross depending on if you want the low possibility of help from sleep charm or damage.
For Dark the go to is M-Lucario, M-Heracross is only if the disruptions are columns like on Onix. Plus you have plenty of base 70s that are actually still helpful once you mega evolve, depending on the situation can be Pinsir, Gallade, Gardevoir, etc.
Scizor right now is not useful, yes. Pinsir is, because Po4 actually increases damage. Mega Boost is almost always a waste of an ability because most of the time you can make a Mega Boost match you could just match the actual pokemon itself, and then once you do mega you have a wasted slot. Additionally, when S ranking difficult stages you'll be using Mega Start, so having trained Mega Boost over something that actually will help in killing it faster will have been a waste. The only time Mega Boost is truly useful is on competitions with no MS, which is why Volcarona is actually helpful since it's also a base 70.
>>24613940
So yes you are right Volcarona is better than Scizor at the moment, but I would not say better than Pinsir 9/10 times.
>>24614121
Mega Boost is actually useful in comps BECAUSE abilities don't activate. You start off with a Mega Boost, or if your combo drops off early enough that you aren't screwed you can match it to get some help. Since you won't be getting abilities that often, it's okay to miss out on a damage ability for it, since that damage increase will come from the long combo. Works better with MB+, Jirachi helped my score on M-Gardevoir a lot.
>>24614127
>why did no one
A few people did, read the thread before asking that.
>>24614205
Is Jirachi+Mawile the best combination for the competition? I got enough coins for a single additional try.
So I've been thinking: Why does everyone shit on m-gardevoir's possible ability so much? Because its not Mewtwo/Gengar/Blaziken-tier?
Case in point for thinking it will be decent: Lucario. Everytime Lucario activates its ability , the field gets cleared and it will do 1k damage (which IMO is pretty good). It isnt a combo magnet, but that doesn't make the others better; mega's should be selected with the stage disruptions in mind.
Is it because it clears the field horizontaly and not verticaly?
>>24614254 new thread
>>24614242
If you are going for the top5 you definitely have to use M-Aero with Arceus maymay team (like the japs see here >>24600285) But dont forget that this strategy will most likely not work if you cant gid gud
If you want the candy go for M-Mawile with Jirachi as it will help you mega evolve. Also do NOT forgot that M-Garde is a bitch and spams dozens of rocks. Do not assume you will get the candy just because you used both items... You still need to get a good combo going and do enough matches...
>>24614242
With all max Mawile Jirachi Dialga Muk I'm top 200, but if you're the anon who only got 26k I'm not sure what to tell you because I would have gotten above that without C-1 so you might just suck
>>24614245
The people shitting on it are butthurt waifufags. The ability will be fine, not as good as the top tier megas but still helpful for clearing disruptions that other megas have trouble handling. For example, Lucario can't do shit to Zoroark, but Gardevoir will make it easy as pie.
>>24614245
short anser: it is because its horizontaly
long answer: garde a shit :^)
>>24614272
>so you might just suck
Oh, I do.But I still want the candy
>>24613875
Lugia. Items. MGengar if you go full C-1.
When exactly should I buy a Great Ball?
