More like Jew Up edition.
So what's the deal with bringing a Safari mon to the safari?
Tested myself some maxed up Skill Boostersthe joy of being supreme
>Genesect
Only played one level with him, but it did activate 2/2 times on a 3 match and 2/2 on a 4 match, so it's likely boosted a lot. No damage boosts, but not like it needed any
>Giratina
5/5 activation rate, damage is boosted further by 1.5x (Po4+ did 1350 on a SE hit on MAX level)
>Blastoise:
3/8 on 3-matches, 6/7 on 4-matches1/1 on 5-match, needs further testing. Didn't pay attention for damage
If anything, this will make grinding Ash-greninja useful enough (guaranteed 1215 damage for a 4-match? do want!)
>>26370336
Spawns more coins in the level I think?
>>26370345
Have you tested them with Angrychu?
>>26370336
It's supposed to make coin disruptions bigger (at least better than a single coin on 6:6). Results are inconclusive however.
>>26370248
Before I forget: first for OP A SHIT.really, Carnivine will be a timed stage. Hopefully the thread will be archived by then, but...
>>26370373
I wish I had time. Send me over suggestions; I'm already going to test Mega Boost and Mega Boost+, tell me other abilities you want tested and I'll check at night
>>26369636
Just go with the Typical Mega Gengar/Fug and Giratina/Darkrai/Yveltal/Hydreigon
>>26370345
Skill Boost increases probabilities?
>>26370403
>>New stuff:
>- Skill Boost now implemented! Supposed to boost activation rate and damage, in-depth mechanics to be figured.
from OP, and also in the game data when you fight Groudon, so yes
>>26370431
Thanks.
I am very interested in the effects it can have on low probability skills. This sounds really awesome.
>Gengar, Palkia, Darkrai
>Mesprit appears
>Sleep Charm never activates, Barrier Bash+ only breaks the wrong barriers
>60% HP left
I swear I almost wasted my fucking Jewel for the extra five turns.
>>26370388
Vitality Drain and its variations.
>Boot game up after not playing for ages
>Update some shit
>Have to pay coins just to play a stage
what the fuck
>>26370761
look at the bright side, you don't need to fork a heart for those
>>26370345
Blastoise is good then? It's confused
>>26370388
Burn, Pyre, and Sky Blast are something I'd like to see affected by cookies
On a semi-related note, if they're still adding new abilities there's still hope for a grass type Pyre, r-right? ;_;
>>26370775
>Have to fork over a heart for the meowth run to get the 300 coins
>>26370803
but a meowth heart is 530 coins anon (if not, you suck and need to gid gud), hence you save 230 or 130 coins respectively
>>26370803
>implying you didn't max out coins after dead week
>implying you're notsupremealready
plebs...
>>26370248
>Destroy 50 Rocks on Throh's stage
How the hell are you supposed to do that? I already took M-Aerodactyl along with 3 Rock Break ability mons and used a Moves +5 while making sure i kill it with the last possible move, yet i i still didn't manage to complete the mission. Is the game memeing at this point? The same for clear 100 Coins in any level. I managed to get 5700 on Meowth stage with M-Gengar, Lampent, Furfou and Cherrim (for the Quirky+), yet i still didn't manage to get it.
>>26370829
Prank.
>>26370829
You need to prank that shit up
Even with a moves+5 you only have 48 rocks. You need to force it to disrupt faster using Prank when the countdown is high enough
The alternative way is tofork a JEWel
>>26370817
>530 coins
How?
>>26370915
by alligning 5 coins of course
How the fuck are people still playing this without dropping dosh on it?
You can get two boosters on Groudon in one run!
>>26370957
choose one:
- being supreme
- being autistic
- being a normie that just started and thinks m-mawile is the hardest stage ever and that it will get easier
>>26371019
>Mega Sceptile
>Shaymin
>Palkia and Kyurem
I don't think you realize what's wrong with your setup...
>>26371065
groudon is piss easy... he is probably training m-sceptile
>>26371037
What if you just have a lot of free time and think aligning cartoon animal heads is fun?
>find Jellicent
>all those fucking barriers
>6 moves to get rid of them
>Palkia isn't helping
>don't get enough Fug matches to Mega
>don't even get half of its HP down because of the shitty starting board
>>26371111
in this case you get quads
Can I get those gifts on other stages? Or is it exclusive for Groudon?
how many times i have to beat groundon to get a boost?
>he thinks he can't go online when using a9lh+Luma
>80 hearts in and still no Mespirit
Of course they closed the special shop this week as well when it would actually be useful to have infinite hearts.
Well, I tried taking Frillish to the Safari.
Got Frillish Stage.
Not only opened the stage with a combo, Frillish spawned 4 coins after the first move instead of one.
I can't tell anything else, but I'm not likely to take the predominant Psychic type to this safari.
Can't decide what to use my skill boster on, there's so many good choices:
>Shaymin's Sleep Charm
>Charizard's Burn at level 15 with RMLs
>Blastoise's Stabilize+, also Mega and can use RMLs
>Roserade also
>maybe even Venusaur/Sceptile/Crobat for their abilities
>Angry Pikachu
>Any mon with Crowd Control
>any Pokémon with a boost ability like Sky Blast Braviary or Pyre mons
>Power of 4+ mons
>>26371144
>Taking Fug to the Safari
There's your problem
>>26371144
>Safari
>Not using Gengar
It's even super effective this time. There is no excuse.
Whats the in-game way to see what mons drop the boosters?
>haven't played shuffle in a while
>oh yeah today is update day
>oh a new safari
>catch mesprit in 14 hearts
>>26373474
Only way I've seen is on the Info button, check Groudon to see what I mean. If there's another method I would certainly like to know it.
>>26373474
Check the Notices
>>26373552
>>26372628
>>26372769
Even being SE, Gengar seems iffy for Mesprit considering it brings itself in the skyfall, which was my justification.
>Groudon only drops boosts for itself.
this would be nice if it's ability wasn't fucking useless half the time.
Can they fix Quake so that if it doesn't paralyze it'll still do extra damage?
so if you beat groudon again, do you get one of these new skill up item or does groudon just get a skill up on it's own?
>>26373607
>all day trying, save electivire tries
>no trace of jellicent and mesprit
On a somewhat unrelated note, do you think male frillish/jellicent will have different abilities?
>>26373998
meowstic is the only pokemon that you can catch with both gender and they have the same skill
so no
>>26374073
It doesn't mean it's impossible, however
>>26373607
That the team you did it with too?

I guess we have something here
Just started playing this week. What are some hot tips for a newbie?
I'm up to stage 58 after being stuck on Mega Slowbro for a while. Still using M-Audino plus whatever optimize picks for me because all other megas so far seem to take much longer to activate.

Source: Ritchie, on Gamefaqswould it be safe to test this on Mega Boost++ (a.k.a. winking clefairy)? It may become useful afterall
>>26374849
So Crowd Control could be boosted up to the proc chances before it got nerfed I guess? Maybe higher.
And Porygon2 is the only one with Crowd Power so far.
>>26374849
>super bolt boosts damage
>>26374618
Save your coins, you'll know when you hit the 'paywall' stages that require them. Also, the Normal-type Megas are just to teach some basic mechanics, so just use whatever you think is best for now.
>>26374849
Winking Clefairy is dead, anon. Ability got changed two updates ago.
>>26374320
yep, i killed it with 4 move remaining with a 24% catch rate that doubled to 48% upon great ball
stage has a lot of barrier and mesprit is in there as a 4th pokemon and also spawn something like 10 wooden block each disruption so it's kinda hard for a safari stage to be honest
So do we know yet what causes Groudon to drop prizes? I've heard a few theories but none of them have held up to any testing, aside from "it's just luck."
>Mesprit breaks out from all 4 great balls at 44% and runs away
why is this allowed
>>26376324
The catch rates in this game feel so deceptive sometimes.Caught it at 30% without a great ball
>>26374849
>rock break
>deal more damage
But rock break doesn't deal damage to begin with
>>26376429
Well now it does :^)
>>26376324
That's why you don't ever throw a Great Ball if the catch rate's lower than 70%Even then I went full retard and threw one at Electivire with 52%, thankfully I caught him on the first one
I had to throw 3 Great Balls to catch Zekrom with a 80+% catch rate and caught Blaziken at 1% with a regular Poké Ball, I'm not even sure the odds and probabilities work the way the game says they do anymore
>>26376974
>That's why you don't ever throw a Great Ball if the catch rate's lower than 70%
Too bad you aren't playing the superior version :^)
>>26374584
"Raising Groudon's skill power to level 5 will increase the probability of activating its ability by 40%
>finally caught Mesprit at 34% without a Great Ball
Now just missing the final ayylmao evo and no Hypno encounters yet.
It seems Barrier Bash+ Pokemon are required for Mesprit unless you get extremely lucky with the skyfall and the natural Sleep Charm with the falling Mesprits.
If any other american mobilefags have yet to max out their friends lists, my code is CD6A-N7NF.

>>26377828L O N D O N

>Being proud of being spoon fed
>>26377365
So does it become 28/42/70% or 60/70/90%?
>>26376324
>>26376364
It's almost like its chance and that percentage only includes the highest possible chance of capture! Isn't that strange???
>>26378729
cool, now go flip a coin four times and check if you got the same side all four flips
now do that again and again
>>26378174
I don't know, someone else said 60/75/100, as if it increased by 5% per match also. Waiting for more conclusive data
>>26378908
Supremefag fan of math here:
Maxed out Genesect, Magneton, Barbaracle and Phione for testing Crowd Control, then played with those four on Ampharos stage to test activation on 3-matches; results are as follow:
25/39
24/44
23/41
21/38
19/47
23/50
135 triggers out of 259, roughly 52%.
Then for 4-matches, went on Absol. 3 runs and it always procs.
tl;dr: Maxed out CC rate is 50%/100%/100%
>>26374849
how do Rock Break, Cloud Clear, Block Smash, Eject and Barrier Bash deal more damage? Are you sure about that?
>>26374849
>>26376429
>>26380400
It makes sense that those skills would get increased damage, otherwise a skill booster would be completely worthless. They have 100% chance to activate already, so what were you hoping for, a chance to activate twice?
>>26380476
not him, but rock break could become rock break+ once max
>>26378787
Are you really this retarded
>7 Hearts
>Get Elgyem all 7 times.
FUCKING HELL!
So, how does the Groudon skill up thing actually work? Do you get an item after the battle, or does Groudon get buffed straight up? Do you need to bring Groudon into the stage, or can you bring anyone? How much does Groudon's skill go up?
Anyone know? Because I'm not getting anything from the stage so far.
>>26380594
I just took an MSceptile team, went nuts and got presents, even got 2 in 1 round. Only done it twice but my tally is 3 so far. It auto gives it to Groudon but you need to have it caught first. Getting the skill level up once requires only 2, the next level looks like 10 and its probably a shitshow beyond that. Good news is it doesnt use hearts so if you have the dosh you could grind it up rather quick.
Nth for I don't know what causes Groudon to drop these.
It usually seems to happen after an A-Greninja Po4+ match or an especially brutal M-Swampert combo, but there've been plenty of times where it didn't drop because of that. Probably just RNG.
>>26380594
>How much does Groudon's skill go up?
Level 1 to 2 takes around 2. Level 2 to 3 takes around 7. Level 3 to 4 took way too many for me to count. Maybe 21.
>>26380704
>>26380720
>Getting the skill level up once requires only 2
>evel 1 to 2 takes around 2. Level 2 to 3 takes around 7. Level 3 to 4 took way too many for me to count. Maybe 21.
I have no idea what you guys mean by these numbers, 2 wins? 2 combos? 2 present icons that come from¯\(º_o)/¯
I was in the top 30000 7 hours before the Swampert challenge ended. When I woke up the next day I didn't receive anything and still haven't. Seeing that it should be available now, does that mean I got pushed out of the 80000 rank?
I'm a bit new to these challenges.
>>26380788
Beat Groudon up, try to pric as many abilities as you can since that seems to be the constant and once you get a present you'll understand.
You have caught Groudon, right? You wont get anything otherwise
>>26380820
Had him for more than a year I think, been doing this with a training team of MSwampert, AshGreninja, Omastar, and a 4th that keeps changing. Think it would be worthwhile to try a 100% proc ability mon?
>>26380704
>>26380720
>>26380788
1 to 2 is 2
2 to 3 is 8 (total 10)
3 to 4 is x?
4 to 5 is 27 (total 37+x)
>>26380898
Units man, the numbers mean nothing without context. Have you ever 6? It feels real good to 6. Try it some time, but make sure not to 7, that will leave you with a burning sensation that will last for a week.
Played Groundon 5 times
Got a booster on try #1 (a lousy C) and try #5
Is it worrh grinding it? I'm low on cash and still have 150 main stages to go but already got all the safari, dailies and Electricvire
>>26380935
They're candies or orbs or whatever fucking MacGuffin GS came up with now to up skill levels. Presents that Groudon has a chance of dropping.
>>26380935
Small Skill Boosters, anon.
>>26380970
>>26381109
Thank you. I've been grinding this stage for a while now with zero results of any kind, with no indication of whether or not I'm doing something wrong, for all I know I could be doing things right, getting the boosters and not even knowing. Information vacuum is a frustrating thing.
>>26380963
In my opinion, not really. Electric, Poison, and Steel Pokemon are immune to paralysis, making Quake only usable on Fire and Rock stages, which you may or may not use Groudon on considering those two types have a fuck ton of options to use against them. But it's up to you.
Ok, finally got a skill booster to drop.
Because I had so much frustration, I'll try to clearly write up the way the Personalized Skill Booster system works.
Pokemon from Special stages can recieve Personalized Skill-up Boosters. You must either capture or have previously obtained that pokemon in order to be eligible for personalized boosters to drop. The info button on the target Pokemon's stage will tell you if that stage will produce personalized skill ups. If you have the pokemon and the stage produces skillups, you are good to fight it. You do not need to bring the stage-specific pokemon in order for it to get boosters.
Once the stage starts, try to activate the abilities of your pokemon. Whenever you activate an ability, there is a chance that the stage pokemon will drop a present, think hitting a pinata.
Specifics for getting a present are not known.
You can get a present with as little as a match of 3.
You can get a present with a combo count as low as 1, if not 0.
Large damage is not required, though I do not know if a non-damaging ability can generate a present.
If presents can come from non-ability damage, I have not seen it.
At the end of the round, assuming you win, the amount of presents you knocked out of the stage pokemon determines how many skill up boosters you get.
According to >>26380898 progression of skill levels with respect to personalized (small) skill up boosters is:
level 1 to 2 is 2 small skill up boosters
level 2 to 3 is 8 small skill up boosters (Total 10)
level 3 to 4 is x small skill up boosters (Total 10+x)
level 4 to 5 is 27 small skill up boosters (Total 37+x)
I think thats a pretty clear description of how this system works, and should hopefully keep people from getting as confused as I was before they get their first boost, is there anything I missed?
>Finally caught Mesprit
>Still missing Cuntno, Cuckoyem and Faggotcent
End my misery
>>26381591
>not Jewpno
>not Jellicunt
>>26381436
>Whenever you activate an ability, there is a chance that the stage pokemon will drop a present
>If presents can come from non-ability damage, I have not seen it
If this is correct then abilities like Power Of 4, Rock Break and Hitting Streak are probably the best ones to farm boosters
On an unrelated note I just noticed there are two Streak abilities, Damage Streak and Hitting Streak, I just got red pilled hard
>>26381645
>be new to shuffle
>save 98k for events and stuff
>m-manectric competition comes along

There it is anon, my biggest shuffle secret. Damn, it feels great coming out :^)
>>26374849
>>26381436
Darkrai and Giratina escalation fucking when?
While everyone is talking about Groudon's personalised gifts, is there any way to skill up electivire? or Mesprit?
>>26373893
>does groudon just get a skill up on it's own?
This.
I got a gift after a MSwampert combo but I'm running Kyogre, Blastoise for disruptions and Palkia because I have no other water mon. It would make sense that non-damaging abilities don't drop gifts as I've only gotten one.
>>26380804
Read the last notice

Feels good to be free of the Safari.
Okay, so what is better for Electivire?
M-Fug, DD+M5 or M-Aero, MS? AP+ needed for them?
>>26382545
I did fine with a MS with MAero and a bunch of ground pokemon, not precisely high leveled
>>26382545
MS Aero
>>26374584
Oh, so the personalized skill boosters look different from the pikachu cookies.
>>26381436
This is complete bullshit.
I had a "present" icon appear on the tenth hit of a combo that started with the ability "hitting streak" activated. I had one drop with the use of a mega ability. I began a game with a gift ALREADY THERE.
Are all you people really wasting your time and coins on leveling up the ability of a shitmon you won't ever use again? Did you also give it RMLs?
I mean, my Groudon is level 9 because it was useful early on, but I haven't used it once since the Garchomp safari.

the fuck game? he was supposed to be one of the first, not the last
>>26370829
Clear 100 coins is best done using a M-Mewtwo team, if you're desperate pay the 2 grand for clearing 100 coins.
If you only make 3 matches, you pass 100 coins cleared at 3300 coins earned
If you only make 4 matches, you pass 100 coins cleared at 7500 coins earned
If you only make 5 matches you pass 100 coins cleared at 10000 earned
If you only make 6 matches you pass 100 coins cleared at 11900 earned.
In most cases, about half coins cleared will be 3 matches, with the rest spread about more widely. Usually this means passing 7000 coins earned gets you the 100 coins cleared mission. This is easily achievable via M-Mewtwo, Unown, and your choice of the Meowstics and Espeon, but like I say, paying the 2800 virtually guarantees it with any of the M-Mewtwo, M-Banette or M-Rayquaza teams.
>>26373708
I'm bringing Absol right now, just for Mesprit, although I can see how Rayquaza would work too.
>>26374073
I believe you have forgotten the Nidorans, and they have different abilities.
>>26374849
Interesting that Crowd Control gets higher activation rate, but Crowd Power gets more damage.
>>26383332
I've caught everything except Mesprit and Elgyem, and I've only even seen Elgyem twice. Every heart so far today and every single heart yesterday was spent on the safari.
>>26383532
*The nidorans have the same ability too, which implies gender differences will lead to same ability
>>26383532
female and male nidorans are different pokemon that evolves into different thing though
I caught Mesprit with a Gengar-Frillish-Jellicent team (had to use a Great Ball though)
>last heart before I went to bed
>Mesprit appears

Ok, this is stupid.

>Uxie should've gotten Sleep Charm
>Mesprit should've gotten Mega Boost+
>Azelf should've gotten Mind Zap
>That would've made the three of them musts on Mega Mewtwo Y teams
>Instead the best and only useful member of the Lake Guardians got cucked with Paralyze
My autism will get triggered forever running only Mesprit and Uxie, and why the fuck are Poison types immune to Paralysis? One out of the only two types Azelf deals super effective damage to is immune to its ability, fuck life
Rest in RIP Azelf
>>26386428
According to lore, Uxie is stated to be the Being of Knowledge and was able to wipe the minds and memories of anyone whom gazes into its eyes. In the main game, it has its stats focused on defenses. In Shuffle, it was given the Ability Mind Zap, which resets the disruption counter and was obtained in a Great Challenge where it had a very high HP count.
Azelf is stated to be the Being of Willpower, and any whom laid a hand on its body would be rendered immobile as the lost the will to live. Its stats are offense based, with a heavy dose of speed. In Shuffle, it was caught it a High Speed Challenge with an extra Support, and has Paralyze, which stuns a Pokemon for 2 turns and prevents them from acting.
Mesprit is described as the Being of Emotion. Anyone whom brings it harm will suffer from having all their emotions drained away. Unlike the previous two, it wasn't engaged in a conventional battle and was a Roamer, requiring you to chase it around Sinnoh. This is reflected by it being the Rare Safari Pokemon, as it brings back the idea of needing to search for the elusive sprite from amidst many other common Pokemon. As befitting its balanced stats, its stage is not extraordinarily hard, and the challenge lies more in finding and catching it instead of beating it. Its ability in Shuffle is Sleep Charm, referencing its powers over Emotion and soothing others.
Is it just my shit luck or are meowth blocks becoming more common, I've had loads of double blocks today.

well fuck you too game
I got everything in the safari except for Mesprit,, who I haven't met not even a single time.
I'm tempted to use some banked hearts
>>26386583
As someone who doesn't browse reddit, I enjoyed reading it.
I've already found Mesprit two times, and lost both of them. Seriously, fuck this bastard. And fuck Barrier Bash for never activating.
>>26387950
You don't even need barrier bash, use Sharpedo and eject them
>>26387950
Found him twice beat him twice
First time had Gengar Sharpedo Bisharp and second time had Banette Chandelure and baby jellyfish ghost
Tl;dr get gud
>>26387950
That's why I went with Gengar, Reshiram and Palkia
After catching Mesprit I switched Reshiram for Dialga and Mega Gengar for Mega Sharpedo because Hypno and Beheyeem are the only ones I'm missing
Repeat Groudon's level is a good idea?
>>26389028
No, Groudon is shit.
Repeating Ash-Greninja next week might be a better idea. At least its ability is good.
>>26389028
>>26390210
I had money to spare so I got his skill to lv4.
I could afford the next one but it'd take too long.
So when will the Main stages start getting chances for Skill Boosters? The game's notice about the Boosters makes it seem like that's indeed going to happen and it makes sense, otherwise how the fuck are we supposed to raise any Pokemon's skill at all?
What I'm fearing though is they'll make us pay to play the stages even if they're main/expert stages, as if knowing we'll eventually HAVE to pay to play stages that also require AP+ to beat wasn't enough
Hey guys, legit question here
Why does everyone assume the Primal Reversions will be separate forms from Groudon and Kyogre? Everyone just keeps saying how much of a waste it is to use the RML or SB on them, is it because they do not have the white circle thing all the Pokémon with Mega Evolutions have or something in the game's data?
>>26390521
Because they're coded in the game data as different species (like Keldeo and Keldeo-R or Genesect and Shiny Genesect)
>>26390485
>what are skill boosters s/m/l
>>26390926
>Implying we'd ever get enough to even max one Pokemon the way they're handing items
>>26390998
My bet?
Next patch we'll get an escalation battle. Non-prize levels will have a chance (say, 30%) of dropping a skill booster. Inside that 30%, make it 60/30/10 for s/m/l
>>26390998
Now that's a real problem. Goddamit there are just too many items...mega speed ups, skill boosters, exp boosters.
However I'd say that there are only a few pokemon who are worth to give these skill boosters. Mons like Braviary and Lucario are the most important imo.
>>26391020
Already wrong, we know what's coming next week.
>>26391097
I said next patch, not next week; i'm aware of those reruns because I read the OP
>>26391108
Oh ok, misunderstood ya.
Honestly though, I don't think it's a cool move to make it all dependant on chance like that, especially on an escalation.
You'd have a bunch of unlucky people who couldn't afford to beat the later stages missing out on stuff.
>>26390998
I'm surprised with all the new items Pokemon Shuffle doesn't have a daily item event that runs for a month.
They can dole out 1000 coins, 2000 coins, 3000 coins, skill boosters, experience boosters and a single Mega Speedup and Jewel every month.
FUCK THIS SHIT!!!
I STILL HAVENT FOUND MESPRIT!!!
18 HEARTS IN AND NOTHING!!!
WHAT IS THIS PSEUDORANDOMSHIT!!?!?!?!
>>26392324
If my calcs are correct you have about an 85% chance of encountering Mesprit after a hundred attempts, so expecting it to appear within 18 hearts is retarded
>>26392387
>>26390485
Can't wait til everyone has an Ampharos that activates Dancig Dragons on every match.
Knowing about the abilities, what would be the best team for grinding Groudon? I've been using M-Rayquaza, Chesnaught, Kyogre and Articuno and only got one gift in four runs
>>26392987

Did anyone ever confirm that bringing Safari Pokemon to the Safari increases the chance to make Mesprit appear? It's the only one I'm missing at this point.
>>26394203
It's a 2% chance. The guy who "confirmed" this on GameFAQs (getting Mesprit on the next try) was probably just lucky.
>>26393473
Oh god, what is Sun & Moon have a legendary trio based on genders now?
Homan, Wumon, and Xeronand the fourth hidden Tranmon.
>>26394607
>implying genders other than male and female exist
>>26394259
Aight. I just figured there was a chance since the notification mentioned something about a benefit from being Safari mons and some people on here who mentioned there Mesprit teams had a Safari mon on it. The thing in the notification was probably referring to how the the Ghost types in the Safari are supereffective against all the mons in the Safari. I guess I'm going with a M-Gengar/Bisharp/Sharpedo team in hopes I find the damn thing.
>>26394782
If you have the mon you're fighting in your team it'll make a match before your first move and it'll disrupt with 4 coins (whereas if you didn't have that mon with you it would only disrupt with 1 coin), that's the "benefit". Bringing Frillish with you for example isn't a bad idea as it's SE against everything else you might encounter, plus it's fairly common so you might make 100-300 coins while searching for that elusive Mesprit. I happened to have it with me when I found Mesprit, and Reshiram was my 3rd one as people had said there'd be a lot of barriers. Barrier Bash+ did help a little, but the stage wasn't that hard anyway in my experience, making a match of 5 Mesprit and putting it to sleep didn't hurt either, of course.
Good luck in your search!
>>26394782
If you bring e.g. Frillish to its own stage, seven coins will appear as a disruption (instead of a single coin).
Only worth it to offset some of the coins you can't grind from Meowth, but it makes Mesprit harder if you do meet it. So just bring your strongest team.
Why can't I catch any pokemon except Mesprit? What the fuck
>catch Mesprit on the toilet last night before bed (two great balls)
>catch Hypno on the toilet this morning
And just managed to catch Electivire my first try. Finally done with the Safari... now to grind Meowth to prepare for Groudon runs and the rest of the EX stages
>Encounter Mespirit
>Spend entire time with my matches literally only being one combo and that's it.

>>26396481

Same here, but I wasn't going to spend the whole week looking for him again, I'm nearly bankrupt after all the new stages and haven't caught around six of them because of it.

Happened to me just two minutes ago. A fucking 17 combo. I wish I could get that kind of combo on other stages

i wish i could accidentaly combo as well as i do when doing meowth is the thing i would wish if i ever found a genie lamp
>>26397630
M-Glalie, Chesnaught, Swampert and Kyogre, but I'm probably dropping that shit, just played the stage 4 times and not a single time did that faggot Groudon drop a gift
1600 coins I just wasted for nothing and that I'm never getting back
>>26398619
1480, not 1600
Did we ever confirm/deny whether the probability for Power of 4+ decreased? If not I've been having terrible luck with it.

Should I bother maxing out Groudon's Quake now that I have the chance?
I'm thinking it might be better to save my money to level Ash-Greninja (and/or Kyogre, to some degree).
How much money do you guys think it'd take to go through Groudon's final skill level?
>>26400299
I'm just spending every heart grinding coins and then blow a bunch on Groudon when I'm about to go over max.
>>26400620
you're close to max then
I'm only at 50k roughly
>>26400299
If you've used RMLs on Groudon or if you plan to then I think it's worth doing, but since three of the five types Groudon beats are immune to paralysis some people say otherwise.
I stopped at level 3 because I'm low on coins and care more about getting skill boosters on Kyogre and Ash-Greninja than I do about Groudon.
Really if you have loads of coins you may as well go at least to 4, maybe 5. If you don't, 3 is a fine stopping point, and a 20% boost to Quake's activation is still nice to have.
Finally caught Mesprit, time to catch Elgyem next. Gonna spend that 2.5K to make sure I catch that nigger.
>>26400792
..and I just caught it without spending any coins. Based as fuck. Well, time to p[ay with the cat again.
Did anyone find out how to trigger gift drops? I can't seem to get many.
>>26398852
It has always been 80%. You're just having bad karma because of your evil deeds.
>>26402995
I thought it was 50%
Has anyone tried quickmatching in the Groudon stage?

Not it

>>26404389
>clean mememaster
Hold the phone, if I already have Mewtwo as a freebie since I play in mobile then why is the Mewtwo from the Expert stage still catchable?
What happens if I catch it?
>>26394967
Thanks for the luck anon, found the little bugger and caught it, though it did cost me a jewel and a great ball (Sharpedo was barely helpful and Bisharp's ability didn't proc once). Still, I'm free to play with the cat again.

The prevailing theory is that when you pass 25%, 50%, and 75% of Groudon's health, it has a chance to drop a gift.
In other words, there's nothing you can do to increase the chances.
I wonder what they'll do with this game once SM is released.
There's still only like 150 unreleased pokémon (not counting forms), so it can't last that much longer without nothing new, even with those winking icons being shoehorned into it.
Will they just add gen 7 pokémon to it or will the be done with this game and launch a "Shuffle 2" after some months?
Do mobile games even "stop" at some point?
>>26411495
Well, I guess that when we reach the 721 pokemon on the game it'll stop.
Either way, I want to think that all these unreleased megas and pokemon could blend perfectly with the new megas and pokemon SM will add.
Time will tell
>>26411495
some anon who claimed to work for Gamefreak said they would be adding Shiny Pokemon as variants of existing stages. He also said they were going to add RMLs I think? Before they added them of course. I don't remember the details if anyone archived old threads
>>26412816
Gamefreak has literally nothing to do with this game.

The power creep will blow your mind, they hid it with a slow progression.
I still dont get it /shuffle/. how does one get boosters? ive tried getting a high combo. ive tried getting po4+ activating. ive brought along groudon. do i need to spend coins on items? do i need to bring a non max mon? do i need to bring a candied mon? do i have to finish within a certain number of moves? do i have to make the moves within a certain amount of time?
>>26417977
The latest theory is that it is a random chance when Groudon hits 75%, 50% and 25% of it's health.
How the fuck does anyone beat steelix
All the new shit like skill up cookies and skill boosters, does anyone fucking know what this pill does yet?

I gotta know, is spiritomb any good?it has mediocre attack power but is one of the few that can use spookify.is it worth using?
>>26422160
No. You are better using SE base 70 bp pokemon than relying to spookify
>>26419556
What would actually benefit from that item though? Best thing I can think of is moving Scizor to Steel so we can have a much better Mega for Fairies
>>26422205
Turn Scizor into a Steel type, Mawile into a Fairy type and one of the Latwins into a Psychic type, some madmen might actually turn Rayquaza into a Flying type and turning Zygarde into a Ground type would be cool as well

I was sure it would be around 80~120 at best.
>>26423125
Along with Weekend Meowth, its GS' way of throwing us a bone since they're probably under pressure from TPC to make the game hard enough to tempt casuals into buying Jewels. I'm sure they're not proud of having to work on a P2P game having been relegated from things like Colosseum and Battle Revolution.
>>26423254
It makes the game infinitely more playable than the other two P2P Pokemon games.
Pokemon Picross is the most "pay or fuck off" game I've ever seen.
>>26423289
>Pokemon Picross is the most "pay or fuck off" game I've ever seen.
Seriously, and the worst part is they want you to pay $30 for half the content of any of the Picross games up on the eShop for $6 simply because it has a Pokemon skin.
>Currently stuck at zone 8 or something.

>>26423429
I've been playing it since release, anon. Not spent a single penny. Currently up to area 22.
I'm going to beat this shit without paying just to show that I can.
>>26423651
Keep in mind you still have to unlock all the 10 or so areas you passed up getting to that point, then the Mega Pen, then all the energy upgrades, and then all the slot upgrades.

I didn't pass up any areas. I have all areas from 1-22 unlocked.
>>26423715
