He triggers blocks so long as a block is already there. If you remove all blocks then no more come. You have to keep at least one block there at all times.

Was half-asleep and ended up entering the Landorus stage with my Raikou team. Almost beat it too since I had Mega Ray but the lack of SE Pokemon was too much to overcome.

There's no way to force a board reset on that stage is there? I guess it's not possible to have no moves available on a timed stage unless there are a ton of blocks or barriers in the way.
Do you think we just need to wait for new stages where an ability like Goad would be the difference between not having to use a jewel to complete the mission?
"Goad (5%, 30%, 80%, damage, x1, +5%, +10%, +15%, +20%): May force the foe to trigger its disruption immediately."
Cheer> Goad> More Clouds> Repeat
Looking at the new ability list Good Luck didn't stand out at the time.
"Good Luck (0%, 0%, 0%, damage, x1.2): Makes it more likely to receive items when set as a Support."
I want one NOW!
If you're still having bad luck with RNG, Xatu Stage 369 has fixed opening moved that creates a 22 hit combo. (F1 > E6)

OH THANK GOD
Having seen it and failed to have beaten it once, I just beat and caught Shiny Gyarados at the second time of asking.
Never again.

Perhaps... but if Goad works like a reverse Prank, it will need a timed disruption to activate, and Yveltal doesn't have that.
I wonder if GS will nerf this mission in the future, or if Yveltal will appear in a Special PSB-grindable stage (like Raikou currently) with more clouds... otherwise, looks like it's impossible to beat this card without spending jewel(s).

Thank you! It took days for it to show up again, but I got it in just those two turns today.
Bloody Safari. Why do I keep playing this game.

Yeah, I used uncandied MCharizard and a Mega Start, and even that was a close call. Gotta activate Pyre as much as possible.
My team was MCharizard Y, Ninetails, Ho-Oh, & another 100 power Fire. Probably will have to use items, it seems.
Need to figure if I want to bother with any Mission Card 9 stuff. I really only do missions when I have a ton of coins (got 81k+ right now, & I still need to do weekend meowth) but maybe I should wait & see what new stuff we might get this week.

Did they stop offering that temporary shop deal after the initial month they introduced it? It was during the second Latios EB a jewel for infinity hearts for and hour or a jewel for quick replenishing hearts I think was the other option?
Not the money maker they thought it would be I guess?

I didn't realise that the Gyaradosite worked on Shiny Gyarados too.
Water-type Mega Gengar's nothing to be sniffed at. Slap a few Mega Speedups on it and we're good to go.

There is a caveat; Mega S-Gyarados takes a lot longer to activate than Mega Gengar- it needs eight Mega Speedups to get where Mega Gengar starts at. Still, it's a great ability, and Water's a decent typing for it.
Since I switched back from a Windows Phone to an Android, started playing on mobile too, since Sunday. Not pressuring myself to max or obtaining everything at this point, I don't even know if I will have every Pokémon one day haha... I'll let this for the 3DS version.
But feels weird using Shiny Gyarados (sadly I didn't get the stone), Skill-Swapped Raikou and Origin Giratina on earlier stages. Everyone on the main stages is more easier than I remember, lol
(Special Stages, on the other hand... ¯\_(ツ
_/¯ )
By the way, any mobile friend requests are welcome WRDE-8PLP

WRDE-8PLPWith the exception of Mew and Ampharos, all the others can only swap A->B, and B back to A.
Regarding Mew and Ampharos, they have more than a single Skill option: when you use one Skill Swapper on them, you can choose which new Skill they will have from a list.
Mew have Block Smash+ / Eject+ / Barrier Bash+ / Power of 4+ as alternate skills, while Ampharos have Mega Boost / Paralysis Combo as options.
(Although isn't recommended to change Mew's skill before clearing Conkeldurr's mission on Card 9...)
*EDIT* By the way, I did a mistake on a previous post - Jirachi only starts tomorrow.

Got a decent run for Gyarados on Sunday but thankfully I checked a couple hours before it ended and I was at 1070. Did another run and placed much higher.
Unfortunately because of grinding coins for more item runs, I ran out of time to do the Landorus stage, and only got halfway to level 4. Oh well.
Caught Giratina at 15%.

Ghost-types are immune to sleep, right?

Does the game even explain immunities to the player?
I feel like they need to spell it out somewhere since it doesn't follow the rock paper scissor logic of the main games.

Pyre for Ho-Oh's pretty good.
About it... Delphox have 10AP less, and have the same Skill...
Suicune feels like a better option before Ho-Oh, since a Block Smash+ Water user fills a niche - and lots of Ground/Rock Pokémon stages summons blocks, so...
(besides, Suicune can even receive Raise Max Levels now, so a 110AP Block Smash+ Water type will be extremely useful)

I just passed level 50 on Giratina myself. I usually stop at 100 but if 101+ are doable I may go for 130.
Current team is Absol, Darkrai, Zoroark, and Giratina-O. I find that spending a couple seconds to start a Sinister Power combo is worth it.

Used Absol or Sharpedo/Giratina-O/Darkrai/Yveltal for up to 130, but don't want to take any more chances so switched to Gengar/Giratina-A/Hydreigon/Yveltal for the last 20. In the mid 140s now.
For Skill Swappers, I'm leaning toward Block Smash+ on Mew and Suicune because eff those things.

I'll probably use the skill swaps on Suicune & Entei since I can use Raise Max on them (already put 4 on Raikou, along with the skill swapper) and they'll be more valuable compared to before.
Waiting for a good time to use a Level Up lollipop on Raikou or the other 2 since it'd make more sense to use it on a higher level (like 9 or 14) to avoid grinding.

Oh well here's a new one, there's a repeat safari - but they've added two Pokémon to it that weren't in it before.
Winking Pikachu and Winking Raichu. Kinda bullshit.
EDIT: Oh that's new as well, I beat a safari Pokémon I'd already beaten and it gifted me 200 coins in a present.

Apparently we get occasional drops in the Safari now. Coins or an Exp. Booster M according to the Info tab.
I guess it makes hunting that last Pokemon more bearable
Since Hoopa is #608 in the Pokedex I guess we will get the new levels next week. Lets wait for the pastebin to confirm
Doesn't seem to be the case... right now, there's no numbered Pokémon on the game code, between #578 (Unfezant) and #608 (Hoopa) ( https://d3esbfg30x759i.cloudfront.net/ss/WVW69jY5X0cOy7dxjz ), so it would require another update in order to rearrange and insert the numbers between Unfezant and Hoopa. But seems plausible if they're"selected" those Pokémon, in order to release them at the next update patch in two weeks from now.
Although, probably, Rhyperior will be released next week... their stats were updated on the game code: Hyper Punch, 70 base AP.

Eww, had to use 3 Great Balls to catch Raichu with 75% chance.
On the plus side, it's nice that caught Safari mons can drop items. Only got coins so far and not enough to cover the 7500 hole in my pocket.

Looks like a new mission card was added:
- Win with 35 seconds remaining (Absol stage, bring Azumarill)
- Erase 8 blocks (LIepard stage, bring Klefki)
- Make a combo of 10 or more (Haunter stage, bring Liepard)
- Trigger Quirky 3 times (Lampent stage, bring Haunter)
- Trigger Mega Absol's effect 5 times (Gengar stage)
6 stars will get you an Absolite (or EXP Booster L if already have), 9/all stars will give you 5,000 coins

So we'll have a Mega Manectric repeat next week, it's a Fast-Match one (urgh).
Also, incoming repeats (with farmable Skill Boosters): Landorus-T, Palkia and Bellossom, and Daily Pokémon #2 (Pachirisu, Sigilyph, Tropius, Farfetch'd and Druddigon) - not counting Rhyperior, of course.
