Mine was definitely under a 100. Probably closer to 60ish.
91 for me.

I saw Shiny Gyarados again. Disappointed.
There's way too many already! And they seem to release them in bulk now so they're probably working on it.

Where did that theory come from? It's not from data mining right?
Like toythatkills pointed out, no one's counting, so how does someone come up with that number?
Who would collectively notice something like that other than Genius Sonority?

I've only just started paying attention to the Mission Cards.
How on earth am I supposed to get 100 coins in a single stage? It does not seem feasible.

Ha! Finally caught Shiny Magikarp. Now I can leave that forsaken Safari.
It's badly written. Just make a 3-coin match at the Meowth stage (Stage 37).

Safari done. That took a while, although mostly because of Unfezant. Had the shinies on day three, maybe after like 60 hearts?
I think I'm losing my grip on this game. I don't care about the added complexity of mission cards or the % activation of skill. After I was done their batches of 50 I've started to focus much more on other games.
Pretty much.. those batches of 50 put me off it and the coins to unlock stages etc was just the icing on the cake.
I just login to do the new timed pokemon and I've missed meowth every week for like the past month. Dunno how much longer I'll even continue doing that.

Ah, right. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure you were right first time, you have to actually match 100 coins. It's not too hard on weekend Meowth though, might take a few goes but you'll get it without much fuss. Just remember to have the card active when you play.

I think the skill boosts give the event repeats some replay value for vets while easing in new players (the repeats are easier to beat as well). Still though, I can't imagine starting from scratch at this point.
I got Dialga to level 2 (never again, too frustrating) and Tornadus is at level 2 as well (still no speed up drops though). Landorus is at level 3 and I'm probably going to stop there because you need 21 to level it again.

Urg. Batches of 50 levels are the worst. I hadn't even managed to clear the first batch before the second one came out and while I've finally done that I STILL have a bunch of EX stages to get thought.
I haven't even touched survival mode yet, or been able to focus on doing any of the cards. Nor have I had time to try and grind the event repeats for skill ups.
There's plenty enough to do as it is without dumping that much on us at once

Final match against Dialga gave me a double drop just enough to push it to lvl 4 with 25 seconds left. Didn't think I was going to make it, for some reason I thought I had another day. The last 20 mins I was contemplating do you just wait for another Dialga repeat or do you waste a cookie?
At least I have new Fighting type to bring along to Meowth's Farm.

EDIT:
Regular Mega Gyarados:
- 18 icons to Mega-Evolve
- Can use 6 Speedups
- "Erases Pokémon on a random jagged line vertically"
Shiny Mega Gyarados: (Data Mined from Game Code)
- 19 icons to Mega-Evolve
- Can use 10 Speedups
- "Erases All Mega Gyarados in the puzzle area"
EDIT 2:
Skill Boosters don't carry over when you swap abilities. Tested it on Raikou. Which makes sense, but means you can collect PSB on Ho Oh and have them go towards Prye once a second Skill Swapper becomes available.

You need to use the level max caps to put them with a solid base attack... too much hassle
Should be the same as Kyogre and Groudon? So... 105? (I don't know, I have my Kyogre at 102 with level 14)
110, actually. It goes this way:
LV10: 90
LV11: 93
LV12: 96
LV13: 99
LV14: 102
LV15: jumps to 110
Oh snap, same as Kyogre & Groudon? That's rather tempting, though Entei & Raikou are only lv. 7 & Suicune is only lv. 5. I've got 3 Raise Maxs & 1 Level Up, so maybe I'll wait & see.
Granted, it's tempting with Entei since I'll most likely have Ho-Oh use Pyre via Skill Swapper, but Ho-Oh will be my 3rd fire pokemon with attack 100.

Just a reminder: if you use a Skill Swapper, then the new skill won't retain any Skill Boosters used with the previous one.
Let's say, your Pokémon have Skill "A" at LV3.
Then you use Skill Swapper, changing to Skill "B"; you need to start raising the "B" Skill from the beginning.
However, if you decide changing back to Skill "A" in the future (using another Skill Swapper), then it will appear at LV3 again.

Are any of these skill swaps worth doing?
Indeed. It made the difference between 30,000 on Mega Gyarados and 52,000 on Mega Gyarados
Hey guys, Haven't really been playing too much any more but what's the best way to make coins? Is that still Level 37?
What about weekend Meowth? I've been using a team of Quirky + (Mewtwo, Gothitelle, Xerneas, Malamar) and on him. It's not really the most effective. I thought maybe if I leveled their quirky + to trigger more often...

Yes Meowth37 is still the best.
As for the weekend: I use a MegaBoost team with Mewtwo. Works pretty well. You can pay a Jewel and get three more Meowth attempts.

Hitmonlee is rather easy, but has a disappointing 60 AP. Bring Mewtwo Y, Uxie, Togekiss, and whomever (either a Psychic type for Mewtwo combos or a Fairy type for Pixie Power). Use Mind Zap as much as possible. I used Super Catch to not bother with it.
The Skill Swap is basically between Ho-Oh and Raikou. The former is a stronger Delphox, but there are no BB+ Electric types so the latter would be useful against Water.
What do Skill Boosters increase for Pyre? Activation rate (I think it's already 100% at a 4+ match) or damage? Same question for Raikou's BB+ I guess.
Shiny Mega Gyarados has the same ability as Mega Gengar. With max Speed Ups it evolves even faster.
E1-C5
B4-C6
Should be enough to win and give you 600 coins.

I thought there would be more interest in this update. There are so many Pokemon that are fixed by this Skill Swapper and make Raise Max Levels worth spending finally.
Ampharos actually having a useful ability and being able to create a Mega Boost+ for it with Rotom.
Donphan's Ground Type Prye to pair with Garchomp and Landorus-T's Risk Taker.
Block Smash+ for Water Types and/or Psychics (Mew actually is useful now after RML)
Celebi's 100 Base Cheer combined with the Pixie Trio's Mind Zap, Paralyze, or Sleep Charm
Ho-Oh's Prye is probably not worth it. You're essentially raising Delphox's base by 10 on an ability with 100% activation rate on match 4s. There are more priorities on type exclusive abilities at least for me.
My first 4 Skill Swappers (free+Misson Card 9+ 2 in first 100 levels of Escalation )will go to ...
1) Raikou- already spent, farming PSB as much as I can afford
2) Suicine- Block Smash+ Water type (maybe all three legendaries set to return after Raikou?)
3) Donphan- unique ability only belonging to it. Unlikely to see anything top it in base power any time soon.
4) Rotom? 105 base Mega Boost+ on two of the slowest Megas that's tempting considering how Jirachi makes Mega's like Mawile viable with its MB+ ability. Mew is close probably lean Block Smash+
Try the Soloaris stage with Mega MewtwoY/Chimecho/Solosis

Yeah I'm excited about the new Ampharos skill because I like the Pokemon despite being hampered by its slow evolution rate and terrible ability.
I agree about using the free swapper on Raikou. It looks like the skill boost drop rate on its stage isn't great but it's easily beatable.
The roadblock with the higher levels is the XP needed.

Well crap, now I regret using the Skill Swapper on Ho-Oh now....
....wait, when the hell were 3 more mission cards added? Guess I can focus on those for the time being. Mission Card #9 requests you make exactly 22 matches. Any suggestions?
Luckily, did that when I was trying another mission on Card #9 (activating Mega Boost a few times on Snorlax's stage).
By the way, the "Erase 40 black clouds on Yveltal's stage" mission is pure bullshit, what the hell...

With only 7 days to play Raikou compared to Ho-Oh's 14 that's another thing to consider. Raikou can be beaten with practically any team, I hope not giving out EXP is in error and will get patched.
Just turn it on. When you play Raikou or Ho-Oh it will just happen. I got it from farming Raikou already.
The top two on MissionCard 7 are easy to complete just playing Raikou as well.
Also...
Heads Up: Hold of on Skill Swapping Mew til you beat Mission Card 9's Conkeldurr's Stage you'll need its Power of 5 ability.
To expand on this:
- Yveltal's field has 16 clouds at the start
- It spawns clouds every time you make a match of 3, which takes 3 seconds to appear (roughly) - supposed to be 2 clouds but in reality, not so much
- The most time you can get on this without a jewel is 70 seconds (base 60 and a T+10)

So Celebi is returning soon, does anyone plan on Skill Swapping it to Cheer? It will only take 50 PSB to reach LVL 5 so it will have 100% activation rate on any match.
Could be useful on stages even where it is not SE?
Is spending a Skill Swap worth it now, considering how few we have available just to take a 60% activation rate on match 3's to 100%?
Would you rather save it for someone else and no let Genius Sonority dictate when Skill Swaps should be spent?
