first for dank memes
First for OP did a really good job for once.
Looks like I'm getting ready for Kyogre. Will it be worth skill boosting?
>>26437439

How the fuck do I make Groudon drop those little shitstains?

Get lucky and stop when you reach level 3. That's it

It's frustrating as fuck.
Bringing Azelf, Uxie and Mesprit to Ampharos is quite fun. Their colors make the board looks pretty
>>26438397
You're right, that was actually quite fun getting mind zap and sleep charm to actually activate and be useful. 15 turn countdown, kek

>>26440040
inb4 it has a 1% activation rate
>>26441900
Does it involve changing the date? If so, cbf.
>>26442918
Yeah. It works best right afterwhenever you set tomidnight, and takes more than 10 hours to grind enough picrites to unlock everything. Even at the fastest possible rate of grinding it's still a chore, so I don't blame you.Enjoy waiting several more months just to beat the game though.
>>26443135
>cbf
>explains it
You know cbf means "can't be fucked" right? Not "please explain it" which would result in an entirely different acronym.
How much does a skill up cookie raise a skill? By a fraction like a personalised booster? Or by an entire level like a level up candy?
>>26443740
"Each skill has a different amount of exp it needs to level up, yet unfortunately such information has yet to be datamined. What is known though is that powerful, popular skills require more boosters to level up, while lower tier skills require less. The variance isn't too extreme, and can be estimated as:
Level 1->2: 1-2 Small, 1 Medium
Level 2->3: 6-10 Small, 2-3 Medium, 1 Large (Yes, a single Large bumps you from level 1 to 3)
Level 3->4: 14-18 Small, 4-6 Medium, 2 Large
Level 4->5: 16-20 Small, 5-7 Medium, 2 Large
Large Skill Boosters have ridiculous efficiency, giving you a full level--or close to it--of basically any skill in the game.
...
[Personalized Skill Boosters] appear to be half as powerful as a Small Skill Booster, with the positive caveat that these are indefinitely farmable...so long as you have the coins to keep paying the stage fee."
>>26443833
Cool. Thanks.
>>26443740
I gabe a large one to angry-chu and it raised its skill on level 4. Two more and it was max
>>26444062
I don't entirely follow. You gave 1 cookie to Angryvhu and it raised the skill level from level 1 to level 4? And from there, it would take two cookies to raise it to level 5?
If so, that's a pretty huge jump. Might do the same, seeing as I doubt he'll get personalised boosters any time soon.
>>26444392
yes. But it was a larg cookie. not small and not medium.
Charizard for example "only" went to level 3 with one large one. For level 4 it needed another one or two (dont know anymore) and for max two more
tl;dr: different pokemon need different amount of skill exp to raise the skill level. Might be related to base power or smth else
So in case anyone wanted to know the (likely repeat) daily Pokemon today:
Seviper
Poison
60 BP
Eject
Pretty basic but easy to catch. Mega Slowbro is good for this level.
Can Groudon drop more than two skill boosters in one play? Just curious.

>>26437056
Mobile players of /shuffle/, lend me your strength! (I just started playing this game two days ago and my only IRL gamer friend plays on the 3DS.)
Friend Code: B3U5-VX9R
Have 5 MS saved and still quite far away from M-Fug. Should I give them to Mewtwo? Or should I keep them since now they will be way harder to obtain?
>>26444821
In theory it can drop up to 3, but I never got more than two in one play myself.
>>26445186
>Rockify (60%, 80%, 100%, other, +5%, +10%, +15%, +20%): Occasionally turns one non-Support Pokémon into a rock.

It was for the shiny Latias thread.
But I still wonder how those abilities could be useful.
>>26447095
Combine them with Alchemist and Prospector on timed stage
Fucking Christ, I had to play the Groudon level about 15 times before the first present dropped. What the hell is up with that.
>almost done with Desert Umbra
>still have to go through Violeta Palace
Fuck GS for adding the rest of Pedra Valley, all of fucking Albens Town, and half of Roseus Center all at once
I thought Groudon's attack would go to 115, since Charizard's went to 105.
I'm at lv14 with him and still at 102 attack, fucking worthless.
>>26449205
It's in the pastebin, retard. Lower BP gets more points, final differences between base tiers is 5 points.
>>26449205
Level 1, Level 10, Level 15:
30, 33, 85
40, 60, 90 (Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Eevee)
50, 70, 100 (Ivysaur, Charmeleon, Wartortle, Mew, Sableye, Espeon, Umbreon, Sylveon, Lapras)
60, 80, 105 (Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Altaria, Azumarill, Druddigon, Quilladin, Braixen, Frogadier)
70, 90, 110 (Groudon, Kyogre)
80, 100, 115
90, 110, 120
Just started leveling Groudon's last skill level and I'm back to 25k coins. I think I'll just keep saving again for these last hours until Ashninja comes out. If I have any time left after finishing it, I'll go back to Groudon (if he's still available).
Also, since we'll get two skill-up stages at once for the next weeks, can we expect them to be easier to finish than Groudon? Not talking about the stages itself, but about the booster drop rates.
>>26449623
Ah, I see. Thanks for the help.
Which Expert Pokémon are worth catching?
>>26451248
All of them.
>>26451257
Rotom is pretty fucking worthless
>>26451257
Quite a few of the later ones aren't so much worth it, like Luxray, Gliscor, Porygon-Z, Honchkrow, which is why I'm asking which are must-have's.
LIV
>>26445186
Goad may be good for that Throh mission, fuck that shit
>>26449623
Are max level ups worth it for Charizard, Altaria, Azumarrill and Blastoise?
>>26453438
A LIV
>>26453778
Charizard: Yes, for Pyre Teams, plus if you get can get him to burn an opponent and then Pyre, even better. Probably highest priority for type advantages.
Groudon: Get him max level and get his skill upto level 3 and he can be very useful. Second priority for type advantages, though half are better with a Charizard Pyre team.
Blastoise/Kyogre: Could be useful, essentially the same except Blastoise's ability is better but activates less, and he can megavolve. Pick whichever one you'd use more and only do the other if you have the candies. I'd choose Blastoise personally. People might object saying Kyogre is going to get a primal version that will make him redundant but the thing isyou could always just use both
Altaria: I wouldn't prioritise it, not many type advantages. If you have the candy.
Azumarill: Lowest priority. Crappy ability, no at lot of type advantages. Maybe in a Pixies Power team, but there are probably better mons for that.
One you haven't consideredEspeon: Not a high priority but Megaboost could be very helpful in megavolving Mewtwo without shelling out coins. Unown-! has the Megaboost+ which is better, but his attack caps at 70 and that 70-95 boost could make all the difference. Is say put about fourth priority, after Blastoise's/Kyogre.
>>26453778
>>26454016
I will also point out that Charizard's RMLs apply to both Megas, making it that much better of an investment.
>It's been one week

Now I'll have to spent another thousand hearts just to find that faggot, and even them I'm probably gonna fail to catch him once again
Fuck this game, not even Mesprit gave me so much trouble, what happened to giving high catch rates to Safari Pokemon that were difficult to find?
>>26454270
Be the power of uglyGardevoir, I give you good luck anon.
>>26454585
>Ability: off-model
Reduces opponents accuracy
>>26454183
Yeah but his dragon megavolution is severely outclassed and has a shit clear pattern, making it essentially useless.
>>26454968
It's the thought that counts I guess. But Charizard being great on Pyre teams and Char-Y being a pretty good mega are good enough to justify the RMLs
>Finally encounter Mesprit
>M-Heracross, Giratina, Darkrai, all MAX
>Shuffemove it because I'm not leaving catching a 2% encounter rate to my own skill
>Beat it on the last move

I did catch it so I'm not complaining, but this level seems like it's way too difficult for how unlikely you are to run into it.
I can't believe I got so many coins that I'm forcing myself to spend them just so I don't reach 99999.
>>26455424

That + Boost is looking pretty nice with attack power 70.

I once wasted 14k on four consecutive Great Balls on a mon with 78% catch rate.
This game sure knows how to get under my skin.
OK, so I'm new and I'm wondering how the hell purchase points work. (I play mobile.) The game says I have a balance of 1000 purchase points, which are reset at the end of the month. Can I spend the points INSTEAD of money to get jewels, or do I spend them ALONG WITH money?
Also, can I use Google Play credit to make purchases?
>>26454968
Granted, I haven't used MCX in stages with rocks/blocks/barriers to see how he would fare, but I've been using him in Ampharos when training and he results in some great combos, I wouldn't say his pattern is shit at all.
>>26456056
>paying money to play this garbage game
I'd tell you to kill yourself, but I should really thank you for financing the development of this. Then again, you're keeping this hell alive, so please kill yourself for real.
>>26456056
Every purchase you make with your IRL money takes away from a bank of points. That means that you can only spend a certain amount of money per month. They're not actual points for you to use. Also,
>buying Jewels
>>26456080
>>26456082
OK, that tells me everything I need to know. I suspected that getting 1000 points of free jewels per month would be too good to be true.
On the other hand, I may spend a few bucks worth of Google Opinion Rewards credit on it every now and then, when I have nothing better to do with it. (Assuming the store draws money from my Google Play account instead of straight from my credit card, of course.)
Three personal skill boosts required for Kyogre, earned over 10 tries.
If the drop condition for Skill Boosters are the 25% intervals, I assume we have a chance of 10% or even less on each. For Groudon, I went through almost ten rounds with nothing.
Ive recently started playing, add me guys

I spent about 10000 coins to bring Greninja skill form lv 1 to lv 2. NEVER AGAIN.
I could win about 90% of the time but the boosters never dropped. This week I'll just grind coins and exp, hoping that we'll get better way to obtain the boosters
>>26456910
dont worry anon... you wont have to grind greninja ever again from lv1 to lv2....
all you have to do now is to grind from lv2 to lv3

>[muffled hand rubbing in distance]
Hey bros just wanted to report that I beat Magmortar itemless with Mega Garchomp (10), Lando-T (10), Tyranitar (10), and Gigalith (2).
>>26456971
>he doesn't know about skill deterioration
>>26457150
Goddammit, I forgot Gigalith existed, went with Golurk instead
Still I was also able to beat the fag itemless with Maxed Mega Garchomp (6/10), Lvl 9 Tyranitar, Lvl 7 Landorus-I and Lvl 6 Golurk and the fucker actually stayed in the ball with a 16% catch rate, good thing he was actually doable itemless unlike fucking Electivire, only downside is no one will probably ever use Magmortar
>>26457962
>no one will probably ever use Magmortar
His effect also works on crosses and 4x4 matches so I think he's decent at least, even if we have the Pyre crew.
>Only 3 Skill Boosters after 13 Kyogre attempts
Here's were I stop, fuck this, not even gonna bother with Ash's Greninja either
Here's hoping they do not make us pay to play when we finally get the chance to increase the skills of the main stage mons
>>26457989
Arcanine getting one of the game's best abilities wasn't enough to get him to be used in Pyre teams, if anything Arcanine and Magmortar might be used on stages where you'd go for a Mega other than Blaziken, Steel types with lots of disruptions where you'd use Garchomp or Charizard Y maybe, but even then you'd probably want to go with stuff like Talonflame and Gliscor to help clear the disruptions
>need to trigger as much abilities for ash-greninja to drop skill boosters
>need to never drop the combo in order to win the stage itemless
wat do??
Srsly... whoever thought of this at GS needs to be killed in the most inhuman way
I literally wasted coins for 15 runs and got none single skill booster. Team was M-fug, Zekrom, Virizion and Sceptile. I am able to constantly beat it itemless since I never/once/twice drop the combo
>>26458070
I don't think triggering abilities has anything to do with the booster drops. At least not in this stage.
we HAVE to be missing some pattern, right?
there's no way we gotta kill Greninja for nothing 90% of the time
Just so y'all know, I managed to get Magmortar's ability to activate on a 4x3 cross match, so it looks like it's not strictly limited to a 3x3 +
>>26458315
That was kinda obvious after checking Electivire's ability.
That also makes +-Boost better than T-Boost, with both being better than L-Boost.
>>26458301
If the 10% chances at 75/50/25% hold to be true, it's only 72.9% that you don't get anything.
24.3% for one
2.7% for two
0.1% for three
Which team are you using for Ash Greninja, /shuffle/?
>>26459095
MRayray, zekrom,ches,ampharos
>>26459579
gid gud :^)
>>26458004
>>26458301
This mechanic exists to keep the highest-playing Shuffle addicts in the game, that's why it costs coins (since to them, they're grinding to keep coins at max all the time anyway, so this is a respite between inevitable Meowth runs). If anything, it's a signal that content may slow down a bit, as they focus on minmaxing various event Pokemon to keep the top players interested, while giving new players chances to catch up with event Pokemon catches, and the long slog of getting through the main stages.
>>26454585
It didn't work, little faggot's getting on my nerves
So what is the verdict on skill boosters so far? Which Pokemon are wisest to boost?
I'm new to Shuffle, if I start playing now will I have missed out on any mega stones? Is it too late to start this game?
I had moderate success bringing a maxed angrychhu against Greninja, setting up combos of 5 in quick succession guarantees a few sbolt activations, and I don't need many to wreck him with it
Problem is that it isn't very reliable, sometimes I'll win with 30 seconds left because all of them activated and sometimes none of them do and I die with greninja with more than half it's health left
>>26463140
>will I have missed out on any mega stones
Yes, they have only released 2/3 of all mega stones so far, and out of those, half are event-only and will probably be unobtainable for months.
But most of the good megas can be obtained in the main stages anyway, so it doesn't matter that much.
>>26463140
You're good, most of the competition megastones aren't vital to the main stages except maybe Mega Garchomp and Charzard Y. Just make sure you get Lucarionite from the Mission Card as soon as you can.
>>26463322
3/4 of all mega stones have been released, not 2/3.
>>26461157
Honestly I might just not both with personalised skill boosters at all. I don't like grinding Meowth so I need to save my money...
I was just about to say "It's not like I'll be at a huge disappointment" but the I realised people with boosted mons are gonna floor me in competitions. Fuck.
Groudon and Kyogre are at skill level 4.
Ash-Greninja is at 3.
This was expensive, I think 90k total. Greninja especially was a huge pain, his level ups take too many boosters.
How are you all doing, how far do you want to go? I think I'm gonna stop now and just grind Meowth back up for the rest of the week.
I beat M- Fug this weekend and max candied it as well. Are there stages I can easily S-rank with it now? I'm only at Gallade in terms of S-ranks.
>>26465913
I might just supreme in a few large skill boosters and be done with itAnd play more Overwatch instead
>>26465913
Team for itemless Ashninja?
>>26466542
I use M-Gengar, Zekrom, Shaymin and Chesnaught.
>>26466542
gid gud fag... the stage is easy itemless
m-fug (if you dont have a maxed one go with m-ampharos)
and your three strongest grass/electric mons (preferably easily distinguishable)
>>26467027
I just don't like timed stages
>>26467044
make sure to never let the combo drop. Of course this is way more possible with m-fug than m-ampharos
>>26467060
Yeah, I have maxed m-ray, was using ampharos and more often than not I ended just a few hitpoints left
>>26445186
>changes one rock into a coin
they want me to give my skillup to whatever stupid monster they give this new ability too so i can finaly farm meowth like 3ds player, huh...
so how big is the difference between max skilled power of 4+ and non skilled power of 4+? if the increase in damage isn't too big (or heck there is no damage increase in the first place) i'd rather not bother
>>26467524
Goes from 3× to 3.3×, 3.6×, 3.9× and finally 4.5× for the highest skill level.
Though if you put it in perspective, it's only about 400 points for Ashnigger on an SE stage. Combos and skyfall are far more important for final scores, esp. in competitions.
Is it still possible to go supreme if you're running the latest 3ds firmware?
What are exact method to get power-ups on Greninja stage?
It's still skill activation that matters?
>>26467900
gitlucky
Abilities never mattered.
>>26467911
iirc Groudon note said something about skill activation triggering gifts dropping, it's damn good it's not the case with Greninja
>>26467718
>updating
literally why anon
but its possible to run homebrew at least (to extract your save for example)
downgrading for cfw and the real nice things is not possible
also kill yourself for updating as you will now need either one of: Cubic Ninja or OoT with powersave. You can also swap the games for a sky3ds+ flashcart to emulate the games (however its 80$)
>>26467915
General consensus is that presents may drop at 25/50/75% damage done, at a probability somewhere around 10% each.
>>26467942
thanks for intel
Yay?
When are they going to give us more pikachu cookies? Fuck this grindfest for event-only mons.
>>26465913
Still working on fucking Groudon, which I've almost got to skill level 3 now. The safari ate most of my time up until now.
Is it actually worth it to grind for any of the current Skill Boosters?
So is there ANYTHING beyond pure randomness that makes the presents drop?
>>26469194
Only Groudon, fuck the other two, Omastar already does Kyogre's work better even if it deals less damage and Greninja just takes too fucking much, you're probably better off waiting for them to gives us more cookies
>>26469213
No, pretty sure if there was a specific way to have them drop gifts all the time it would've been discovered already by the people data mining the game
Two presents dropped, but missed KO'ing it by 500 points. Fuck.
Should I use one of my 30 JEWels?
>>26469357
"It" being Ashnigger of course.
>>26446735
Goad + Blockify + Alchemist + Ampharos == tons of coins
Goad to get you Flaaffy, obviously the other two to create coins, then match coins.
>>26469357
I wouldn't anon, but then I don't think I'm going to go past skill level 2 anyway so I may not be the person to ask
So what does boosting Kyogre's ability do anyway?
>>26470112
Last thread had the effects of the boosters on every ability; either more damage or more chance to trigger it
>>26470147
Yeah, but it deals no damage and always triggers anyway

I'm going with increased damage, from the second effect boost onwards
>>26470390
That would be nice as fuck, basically a Water pyre... not bound to water types?
Can anyone confirm?
>>26470410
Look at the abilities pastebin, only Poison, Ice and Ground get Pyre-like abilities for now (with worse activation rates, but better than e.g. Pummel).
The paste also shows whether Skill Boosters raise activation or damage.
>>26470390
>>26470410
When Rock Break activates, Kyogre's damage alone gets boosted.
If you level up the skill once, it's 50% more damage, if you level it up all the way, it does twice the damage.
Not complicated.

>>26445186
>I made up some abilities and /vp/ fell for it
I've been away for a week. Can someone explain this skill boosting thing? Everything in this thread is making no sense to me... what does it actually do?
>>26473116
skills got levels
each level increases dmg or chances of activating, sometimes by ridiculous amounts.
generally new shillgrab scheme
>>26473186
By skills you mean abilities, right? Like Power of 4, Crowd Control etc?
Any consensus on best boosted skills?
>>26473286
There's only been one booster available so far.
I personally chose to give it to Darkrai, since Sleep Charm is really useful when it triggers.
>>26473318
That booster increased Sleep Charm's activation chance from 5%, 30%, 80% to 15%, 40%, 90%, which isn't too shabby.
>>26473286
Crowd Control at maximum is identical to old Crowd Control (60/100/100).
Sleep Charm is hella good, though I recommend Shaymin over Darkrai because there are a lot of water types left to be released.
Combo boosters like Pyre can be good, if you like those.
Stabilize+ is pretty cool too.
For unreleased abilities, I think there are cases to be made for Goad, Alchemist, Stabilize++, and Nosedive.
>>26473318
>There's only been one booster available so far.
So what are the other people in this thread like >>26465913 talking about?
>>26473477
Groudon, Kyogre and Ashninja drop presents at random that boost their own skill level if you fight them after catching them.
>>26473498
OK thanks for all the answers. I guess it's not worth bothering with Groudon/Kyogre as they have shit abilities. I'm not spending coins for that shit.
>>26468424
I slightly hate with all my heart.
Oh yeah, one more question: did anyone figure out what the single coins are about in the safari? The countdowns listed in the pastebin are fucked up.
>>26473725
If you bring the stage Pokemon, the stage occasionally summons coins. It's worthless.
>>26471811
The fuck are you talking about, they're all taken from the pastebin. Which ones are made up?
>>26470341
Stop bro.
Saying Nigger a lot is only funny when you're a 12-17 year old who only browses /b/.Calling everyone a Jew or cuck is all the rage now.
>>26473455
Plus combined with Sleep combo you can get massive damage, and at this point the only one with that is Hypno, who will probably be no very effective on stages Darkrai is.
Who else do you think will get this ability? Any potential grass or electric mons? Imagine if using that pill changes abilities, and Mareep gets it?
>>26454016
Unown-! is better than Espeon in sunday Meowth event
Need some advice: I just got Charizard to level 14, and gave him his next RML. Should I just use my rare candy to get him to level 15 immediately? Rather than spending all the time to get the 2726 exp he needs to level up on his own.
Anyone else get really fucking annoyed how occasionally (and sometimes multiple times in a row) you make one move grinding in Meowth's stage and suddenly it spirals in a fucking 20-50+ combo for no reason and you never get this shit happening in a stage where it actually matters?
>>26475309
This is more likely to happen with L, T and +-shaped combos, so I try to avoid them.
>>26474882
Yes. Leveling from 14 to 15 is the best use of them.
>>26474652
>Imagine if using that pill changes abilities
With all the new abilities that just got released, I think this is probably what will happen.
Stuck here, tips or patterns to take note of?
Even with hella combos I still can only get it down to 1/4 health

a-at least his smartphone is charged... r-right?
Did anyone figure out how many personal skill boost it takes to get Ashninja from 2 to 3? I'm at four or five boosters and the gauge isn't even filled by one quarter.
>>26481364
I think it's 25, I saw somewhere the list and it was something like 5>25>40>50.
I know for a fact the total is 120, the total for Kyogre is 50 and the total for Groudon is 70, so you can max Ash-Greninja, or max both Kyogre and Groudon.
Good luck.
>>26481364
I don't remember the exact number, but it should be in the 15-20 range. Not worthy
>>26481412
>I know for a fact the total is 120, the total for Kyogre is 50 and the total for Groudon is 70
Holy shit, is there even time to do all that?
>>26481644
Well some people got to 4 or 5 with groudon last week, so you have 2 weeks to get Kyogre and Ash greninja I guess.
>>26481733
I'm still working on Groudon, got 4 boosts past level 3 so far.
How many does it need for level 4, 25?
>>26481750
Yes I think it's 25 with 30 more to reach level 5
>>26481776
>just played Groudon's level 6 times in a row
>got a single booster
>>26481802
I did Groudon 13 times in a row without a single drop before. Meanwhile my gf got 7 drops on Kyogre. I have shit luck in this game though.
>>26482168
I had 10 in a row with no drops while using M-Ray then I switched to M-Glalie and haven't been more than 3 in a row with no drops since. Could be confirmation bias, or it could be the drop numbers are just more likely to get hit when using all SE teams
>>26482249
I was using a Mega-Swampert team. RNG in this game has been unkind to me.
>>26482295
I've been using a M-Gengar team, which has worked pretty okay.
so i've stopped playing after reaching golurk and i've decided to start again in preparation of a possible prospector pokemon on a stage higher than 400 and i was wondering
what would you consider better? using M-Fug for the combos or using either M-Swampert/M-Sceptile as they are SE? i know M-Blaziken is all the rage for stage where he's SE so i'm curious why no one ever talk about using the other two
>>26482400
The reason M-Blaziken is good and the others aren't is Blaziken has not one, but two abilities that increase the damage it does, in Pyre and Burn. M-Mewtwo-X has Pummel, if your tastes run that way, but you pretty much need to mega start if you use that, but the others have dick all
>activate mega rayquaza
>it decides to only remove the two disruption pokemon instead of the dozens of other choices
They know, don't they? It's just programmed to pick the worst possible icons to remove each time.
I brought Jellicent with me. It matched the six Jellicent in the lower right corner, then all the coins appeared.
>>26483812
Whoops, didn't mean lower right corner.
Actually I missed what matched. It happened right as the stage started. Mind Zap triggered so it was the Jellyfish though.
>>26483812
>>26483843
Also happens with Drowzee. Apparently if you bring the Pokemon in the stage, it turns it into a coin stage.
>>26484043
From what I've seen its only when you bring the Pokemon that you're facing, ie bring Jellicent when Jellicent appears, Drowzee when Drowzee appears. Which makes it pretty useless, as you don't know what stage you're gonna get.
>>26484553
I've been bringing Frillish, Jellicent, and Gengar. Everything hits super effective and I get a coin stage 1/3 of the time.
>>26484921
Though it's only useful when you've caught those Pokemon...
Fuck Greninja.
>>26486396
Gladly
>>26486423
eww gross
>>26477308
>he buys jewels
disgusting
>>26485122
Just caught Jellicent yesterday. I wish the catch rates were higher for the rare Pokes.
>>26445402
you should probably join him on the 3DS. stop fucking around with mobile fag
>Missed an S-Rank because Virizion's Power Of Bullshit+ failed to trigger twice in a row
It's like this fucking game knows when you're trying, so it starts doing its best to fuck your shit up, already S-Ranked the stage but Goddamn, is it infuriating

>Trying to catch/S-Rank Seismetoad

HHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.
If I go into Mega Mewtwo X with Mega Fug (19/20 candies), will I really need C-1 and MS? Or is it possible to S-rank with just DD and M+5 by bringing Fug?
>>26489147
Protip: Mega-stage? All items. And even then you can miss a S-Rank by one move. Better to get it over and done with then to waste thousands of coins hoping you'll luck out even once.Fuck you Mega-Medicham. Should have easily been able to S-Rank you without C-1 but somehow I struggle to even clear you until I used it.
>play Groudon 7 times
>no presents
This is the worst new mechanic yet.
>>26490235
At least Groudon can be beaten easily. I can't beat Ashnigger without +10 sec, hence each attempt cost me 1300 coins, for no fucking presents.
>>26490331
And now I just got three presents at the same time.
Didn't even know that was possible.
>tfw still grinding up a semi-adequate Water team for Magmortar
>>26491352
My water team is M-Swampert, Greninjash, Palkia, and Manaphy.
But with all the disruptions, and if you have coinage to spare for M-Start, I'd reccomend M-Aero, Tyranitar, and whatever other Base 80s you have that are SE, or RML'd Groudon, since Magmortar isn't immune to Quake.
I still haven't caught Electivire. How much of a shit is it?
>>26491777
It's not bad. It's ability is ok
>>26491875
No, I meant the stage. How much will it cost me?
>>26482544
>but the others have dick all
Sceptile has Sleep Charm (via Shaymin) and a general lack of competition. (Ampharos/Manectric are kinda bad, Venusaur is practically worthless.)
Swampert is suffering, though.
>>26491926
MS and DD with M-Aero or M-Garchomp and your best ground type should be enough
>>26491991
Plus, Sceptile has access to Mega Boost+ with Budew and two Quirky+ Pokemon, making it much more viable than Blaziken and Swampert for Weekend Meowth.
Basically, Blaziken and Sceptile are good for their own reasons, Swampert just sucks. I just wish they'd finally release a Base 80 Grass type.
>>26491926
At least 10000 plus the cost to start should be goos. 5000 for the Mega Start and Attack Power boost, and another 5000 for Great Balls just in case.
>>26492078
What would be base 80 Grass? The only candidates were Celebi, Shaymin and Virizion, which we have already. I suppose they might give RMLs to Shaymin?
>>26492194
Serperior is a pretty good candidate for Base 80. Torterra seems a little iffy, but possible. All the other unreleased Grass types except Meganium and Sunflora are dual-typed so it's difficult to say for certain.
>>26492268
>making the fucking Unova starters base 80
No
>>26492268
Won't happen. At best they'll be 60 with RML.
>>26492194Third stage Rowlet
>>26492406
>>26492421
Sorry, meant to clarify. It looks like the best candidate out of all the unreleased Grass types. Unless GS decides to go full JUST and make Victreebel Base 80 for no damn reason.I was barely awake when I types that, pls no bully ;_;
>>26492600
>make Victreebel Base 80
Pretty please, GS.
Life is suffering
Anyway, I still need one more friend to finally hit 30, HAZW-LBAN
>>26492962
Well this IS a game where the 2 mons with the highest attack and special attack in the mainline games (Ramparados/Chandelure) are base 60 shitmons. So anything is possible.
I can't beat Roserade, not even with the guide! I try Megazard Y, Lugia, Muk, and Heatran, and I can't win it. I tried a Blaziken team too, I bought MS+DD and nothing. Help?
>>26493666
Megazard Y, Lugia, Reshiram and Budew can beat it itemless at MAX level with a bit of luck.
>>26493697
>Budew
I knew I was forgetting something! Will give it a try, thanks!
>>26493666
>>26493699
Reshiram is also amazingly useful both for damage and for clearing space with its ability and is a must.
I need some friends on mobile, so...
DZQS-FKSX
>>26493436
Your team is too powerful, I'd say. I'd swap in some mons with lower BP.
>>26494066
That's not a strong team at all. I regularly run with 80 or 90BP mons with PO4+ on Meowth and the only time it's bad is when you match a 2 combo, but that's usually your own fault. Once you've done Meowth enough you should no never to go for anything higher than a 3 combo and which move has a high chance of making another match.
>>26494140
Swap Keldeo-R for Sawk, Po4+ is unreliable and often fucks you over for Meowth.
>>26494230
I'm a different guy from him. PO4+ is not unreliable in the slightest, I've lost maybe ten matches out of hundreds due to it not activating at the end. Throwing in a Fighting just to secure it is a waste of EXP and ends up being way riskier.
>>26494258
>not unreliable in the slightest
>20% of not activating
If you need the points to finish, it fucks you over. You shouldn't care much about XP, those 8 or 16 points are chump change. Had you spent those ten plays you lost on Ampharos, you would have gained 2500 XP for your team.
Meowth is for grinding coins only, those few XP are just a small bonus.
(My regular team is Duskull, Sawk, 2 filler)
>>26494337
My regular team is literally anything I need to give EXP to that's 80BP or above that's non-fighting and I've never had problems with it, and even with this team I constantly risk overkilling. The 20% has barely fucked me over and the 80% activation has helped me out way more instead. Hell, right now I'm running Thundurus, Greninjash, Landorus(Risk taker one), and Walrein.
>on Skrelp
>one more move before I lose the S-rank
