I feel like it should've been the other way around considering you can earn quite a bit of money from Weekend Meowth if you get lucky, but hey, I'll gladly take it. So glad I didn't spend the jewel I got from the repeat Mega event.
Pikachu (Angry): 2%
Cleffa: 37%
Clefairy: 15%
Clefable: 11%
Deerling (Spring): 25%
Sawsbuck (Spring): 10%

One jewel to play it once. You can do that up to three times.

Meowth is one jewel for three more times, Victini is one jewel for each time up to three times.
Na, if it's like mobile then three plays with one jewel. I did it a month or so back on mobile.
It's 1-for-1 on Victini and 3-for-1 on Meowth, either way I will TAKE IT.
So after the last Safari, I'm expecting like, 300 turns before Angrychu shows up. Which might be good, since I'm close to maxed out on coins and already got everything relevant to a good level (lucky 7). I guess I'll take another swing at Survival Mode (with items) since I did all the repeat stuff already.

Just spent five hearts on the Safari.
It was a Cleffa every time.
It's going to be one of those, isn't it.

They'll be fine. A couple of 70s and Gengar won't lose to anything.
I used MGengar, Dialga and Kyurem. Works perfectly fine.
Already caught everything except angry Pikachu, so I think I'll switch my team from poison-types to ground. Might also help with keepin Clefairy alive long enough to trigger it's coins.
I used 4 great balls between Clefable and Sawsbuck. May have been a waste this early on, but at least I can continue S-ranking stages and farming Meowth immediately after catching Pikachu. Whenever that is.

It doesn't matter what type you take into Pikachu, so just stick with Poison
Oh, well in that case... although I still don't want to beat Clefairy too fast. With Mega Gengar your other 'mons almost don't matter anyway.

Blew all my coins on Mega Absol (trying to get the Speedup) and then on the Mega Ray stage (realizing having it would get me a higher score on Absol). Failed on both accounts. MGengar plus Dancing Dragons team couldn't do it with all items except C-1.
Yep.
Assume you buy 12 Jewels.
Now, you can spend them outright on 48,000 coins. That's a solid plan as that can keep you level through much of the game. Average of 4,000 coins per Jewel. Solid.
Now, with the weekend Meowth, I typically end up with between 5,000 and 10,000 coins, with 2,800 being used to give it a jump start. So between 2,000 and 7,000 coins added per go.
Now since a Jewel pays for 3 attempts at the Meowth stage, that can be anywhere between 6,000 and 21,000 profit from a Jewel.
That's not even taking the Check-In Bonus into consideration

First time I completed a safari day 1. 5000 coins for Pikachu was worth it just to be done with it.
Yeah I mean I've played this game every day since release, 200h+ I guess. Might as well spend a few bucks now that it's worth it much more than before.

Why guess? There's an in-game clock so you can put an exact value on your shame!
Just Sawsbuck to get for me now. Didn't realise it was kinda rare when it came round the first time, but at 10% it can't be that much further away.

HOLY SHIT MEGATON UPDATE FOR MOBILE
That should certainly make things are little bit less painful when using items.

Yes. It was miserable...
Phew, all that's left is Pikachu (Angry), then grinding for coins for Zygarde. Just a few more stages until I'm finally caught up on Main.
But once again, I'm running out of Pokemon to use for grinding for coins. Doesn't help that it seems like none of the new Special Pokemon are worth leveling up since none seem to be attack base 70 or higher.

I'm starting to debate if I should start buying a few jewels at the beginning of each month now that you can get 6 or 7 hearts along with 600 or 700 coins per check-in.
Honestly might just do the $5 for 6 jewels, then get the 6 hearts + 600/1200 coin check-in for the month, then save the jewels for Weekend Meowth.
Here's the math for the coin check-in for a 31 day month (& assume I started checking in on the first day):
500 coin check in: (1000 x 3) + (500 x 28) = 17,000 coins
600 coin check-in: (1200 x 3) + (600 x 28) = 20,400 coins (3,400 more)
700 coin check-in: (1400 x 3) + (700 x 28) = 23,800 coins (another 3,400 more, or 6,800 more than doing 500 coin check-in).
So that's basically 1 jewel's worth you're earning via the +100 bonus check in, or 2 jewel's worth for +200. PRETTY sure my math is right, but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Managed to catch every Safari pkmn and Zygarde 10% and got all S ranks but I'm not even close to catching all the main stage mons smh.

It definitely used to, yeah, this could make my Meowth farming awkward if they've changed it because I relied on that, haha.
In other news, is anyone else getting Charizard recommended via Optimise when fighting Zygarde? It's not-very-effective and yet for some reason it keeps suggesting it!
Like the little message you get now when you complete a safari. Lots of nice QoL stuff in this update.

Do you have Mega Charizard X? If so, it changes to a dragon-type when you Mega Evolve. If not, well, that's weird.

Ah, I guess that explains it! Looks really odd, though.

Fuuuuuucccckk. That was my favorite ability. Now it's pretty to Power of 4+. Why nerf that anyway there's three pokemon in the game that have a base power and type that make it worth using.
Damn it Genius Sonority change it back!

I'm hoping it is just a glitch. I need to try with a couple others to see if it's just Spheal.

I believe Angry Pikachu is the only one not on the Sweet Strasse background- it's on the standard dark event background instead.
I say this, not having actually seen it myself yet.

As I recall, it's only 2 moves whereas all the other safari pokemon seem to have 7 or 8 moves.
What? He'll be on the top screen?
