Trying to experiment and see if adding in a slightly leveled Reshiram to my team for Kyurem escalation 201-240 is worth it, given the disruption. Not sure yet. Def stopping at 250 assuming i get there

Need to keep newer players interested.
*catches Shaymin Sky Forme at 28% on 2nd attempt* YAY, I got lucky!
*Reshiram escapes from Great Ball after Super Catch Rate of 77%* UUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH
Am I suppose to be beating Reshiram without items with about 2 to 5 moves left? I even gave Garchomp my 3 Mega Speedups, so he's all maxed out & my team is 2 lv. 8s & 2 lv. 9s, one with Eject & the other Barrier Bash+. Or should I be using a different Mega?

I love how, no matter what they do, someone always has some theory about what it means.
They release hard levels, it's to make people spend coins. They release easy levels, it's to keep people interested. They release loads of stuff, it's to get to the end quicker. They release not much, it's because they're running out of content. They repeat stuff, it's because etc etc.
Maybe the truth is that nothing really means anything :lol
This applies to both Pokémon Shuffle, and life in general, of course.
As an aside, holy shit, someone just posted in another thread that they didn't like Shuffle because you "lose a life" even if you beat a level. I didn't think anyone would think like that, so weird.
Some mobile games do that, but you can be sure that if it was implemented in Shuffle, levels would be harder simply to counter it.
I really don't think it would be a positive for us.

I remember setting off Quake gave you enough time to open up the board to chain some combos. Bring both Groudon and Donphan to increase the odds of triggering Quake. The match is still very luck based when everything goes right.
I just got to 190, my team's been Charizard (MAX) /Gallade (7)/ Cobalion (6)/ Infernape (6). Just to give everyone the EXP points. I was going to switch in Mega Rayquaza soon as Charizard Maxed out but it just takes too long to evolve. I can MAX out his Speed Ups right now too just not sure if I want waste that many. I also just focused on Infernape to get him the crown everytime he started at Lvl 1 and caught up to Cobalion LVL 6 after 150-160 some levles.
I'm bringing Reshiram soon as I catch him, but I haven't found a team that stomps him yet. I've beaten him with Gengar, Garchomp, Swampert but not Blastoise who's Stabilize+ ability is the most useful. I don't have Garchomp sped up but he seems the best fit next to Tyrantar, Milotic, Palkia team
That's deep. No matter how much of your "life" you put into this game it's all pointless in the end.
Oh wow
Beat it with 0 moves left
I don't have Groudon, so I had to rely only on Donphan to delay it
Won just barely, because quake activated very close to the end

3 Great Balls spent to get Sky Shaymin and Reshiram.
Well, I'm thankful you can beat the stages without items, but I ain't got time to keep playing them before the ball snaps shut.
Looking forward to having my sparkly princess soon ^^

I cheaped out and refused a Great Ball on Shaymin at 92% super catch. Eventually caught it at 22%.
I could only beat Reshiram with Garchomp, Tyranitar (for Eject), Palkia (for Barrier Bash+), and Landorous (for power). Gengar and all-Water Swampert didn't work for me. Caught it at 3%.

Honestly I just bought AP for the last 10 levels. Even with +10 secs I was either beating it with a second or two, or losing with a slither of health. Wasn't worth risking 800 coins so I just splashed out an extra 2.2k.
Kyurem level 200 wasn't too bad with all items, though I used Gengar not Lucario. Lucario didn't work good for me at all.
Yeah, Time +10 was fine until 197 or 198, then I powered up & was able to clear it with half the time left. I'll try Gengar, though. Almost have enough coins to get all items.
Hopefully this can be a repeat week so I can focus back on the main stages. I'm starting to see why they did a huge group of stages compared to 10.

Hoping for the same aswell, for the first time on Shuffle I had to use some of the jewels I had save up for 48K coins but now I'm back at about ~60k from farming, just going to keep farming Meowth until Tuesday, if it's a repeat I'll finish S-ranking/capturing and the new EX stages.
Knowing my luck Tuesday is going to bring an update that allows you to swap jewels for Speedups
Spoilers for Tuesday:
- 300 stage Diancie escalation, move based, five speedups starting at 150 and the Diancite at 50
- Mega Abomasnow competition on 3ds, MBlastoise on mobile
- Mega Abomasnow competition on 3ds, MBlastoise on mobile
Please understand.
Good. That means I'll get to 50 for the stone and spend the rest of the week lounging about.
Yep.

Used C-1 for 150. Probably could've done without but with Reshiram underpowered I didn't have enough power to beat it.
Wait are you not resetting if the first great ball fails in order to not waste gold? I only use more then one for stuff like EX stage pokemon where I have to spend a bunch of money in order to beat the stage in the first place, stuff that's only available for a limited time or super rare safari pokeon
Also what precentage are you using them at? It's one thing to use it when you get like super catch and it goes up to like 70% precent or better but I don't normally risk it if it's under 50% unless I absolutely have to

Don't even joke about this please!
Mess, I hadn't even thought about it. I can see them doing exactly that.who is looking forward to the unown safari?

Shiny Rayquaza is in there too. Shiny's always seemed like the next an obvious means of milking the game til new pokemon are released. But it would be helpful having palette swapping options to avoid confusing similar colored types.
Ughhhhh

I believe it's only for stages 20-29, but it was enough where I was able to scoop 3000 coins with minimal effort.

It's a shame, those coins really made this escalation shit bearable for a while!
Few annoying ones where three coins spawned in a row and cost me 200 coins as well as leaving a coin there doing nothing, but still, nice to be earning coins outside Meowth for a change.
