Awesome, thanks!
What's wrong dude? I'm sure the code will still be working when you're back to redeem?
he means he missed the boat on reporting it on his site
Oh.

The problem is catching them! Blaziken looks like it'll be a right sod and I don't think I can be bothered to try and beat it with those stupid clouds there.
I just got Glalie down to about 20%, but I think there was a large amount of luck there, it froze the same couple of columns a few times so I had a lot of the board open for most of the fight. Still not enough. I do suspect that if I keep playing it I'll probably get the luck I need, it's just incredibly frustrating all the other times!

You're just going to have to dig in, play and hope the game wants to be nice to you. If you need an edge just know that Moves+5 & Time+10 do factor in to S-Ranks so if you need a bit of an edge/cushion you can count on those if it gets to be too much. If anything else taking your chosen team to an EX stage where they have the advantage and EXPx1.5 can also help out too by leveling them up for additional damage to make up for the randomness of trying to trigger abilities.
If I can grind it out then anybody can pull it off.
EX Stages just happen. If the game gives you the right opening setup then not only clearing it but S-Ranking it becomes just as possible. Just be sure to start a large chain from the outset. If you can do that then the stages give you plenty of time to put something together to continue said chain. EX Stages started to click for me once I figured that part out.
Thinking about Glalie reminds me in asking the question of why there wasn't an usable Mega representing every type from the outset. This would've been really helpful.
Thanks for this, seriously. Felt like I was banging my head against a wall, but learning that those moves+5 help is a serious godsend. I just got Toxicroak done with that on my first try.
Edit: And Skarmory!
Edit Edit: And Heracross! Now I just need to go back for 5 more megas!
It has a specific solution since everything's always the same. Pretty much, you want to figure out how to move that center row such that you use up all your moves without causing the reset: IE only get a double match once. If you do it right all the blocks clear after your last move for a kill.
In other news, got the S-rank on Mega Glalie with a moves+5 and disruption delay! Which totally failed thus far on Mega Mawile so I'm going to come back to that one after I take out the other 3 probably (Mega Ampharos, Gengar, and Mewtwo).
20 stages. Unlocked after S Ranking all 150 normal stages.

What is up with Blaziken's stage? Why is there smoke?
Mew event has been extended two weeks to March 23, 2015.
Kyogre Makes a Splash - 06:00 UTC 3/9/2015 - 06:00 UTC 3/23/2015
This is your chance to take on the Legendary Pokémon Kyogre. This powerful foe can only be encountered in this stage. Don't let this one pass you by!
You will be rewarded with a Jewel the first time you clear this stage!
OP updated to reflect these events.

Does it get its Primal Reversion?

The Mega Evolution stone indicator is suspiciously missing.
Maybe they count it as another form rather than a Mega Evolution and we'll get an event for it later

That might make a lot of sense.
Perhaps. Unless that coin thing happens again.
It would be really hilarious if the Kyogre event ended up being a jewel farming source, though!

It always said that you'd get 1,000 coins the first time you beat it.

Boom. Glad you were able to take care of it! Now go get the rest of them!
Look what just showed up
Shit! I just quit you!

Well, I just arrived into Mega Mawile but I'm out of hearts

Maybe the real reason behind this coin madness is because it only checks if it has been beaten every day. And it resets every day.

Managed to beat him friday with Moves+5 and Mega Start. I said that I would stop to play if I couldn't beat him after that so I'm glad I did it but I still don't think no full game purchase option is sad... Of course at the end I'll say that I played more than 50 hours for "free" but I really really hate having to wait for the game to tell me "when" to play.
Well now's not the time to complain... I just hope Nintendo will experiment more with various payment options in the future
unlocking content or crystals/hearts with the Pikachu Amiibo could be nice
Also Kyogre is here ! I have to catch him, he's one of my favorites legendary (making a big pile of coins so I can purchase everything and catch him with a super pokéball if needed).

You won't need any of that. Kyogre is super easy. I beat and caught it first try with 19 moves left, which yielded a 65% catch rate.
Got Kyogre on my first try, and I'm up to... whoever is after Mega Altaria.
Is it a bad strategy to find a couple guys you like and stick with them if they don't have a type advantage? I've been rolling with Sableye and Kfleki, then whoever has a type advantage, only swapping them out when they don't.

The main sticking points are the Mega fights against Glalie, Gengar and Mewtwo by the sounds of things. I'd put some stuff in your team strong against ice/ghost/psychic types as you're going along to make things a bit easier later.

EX18 unlocked. I'm going through and S-ranking everything before I worry about catching everything. Mega Mawile, Gengar, and Glalie were [thankfully] done on my first completions of them. Mega Mewtwo Y will have to be played again, but by the time I'm done with everything, I should have enough coins to trivialize it.

Currently stuck on trying to catch Moltres. Hopefully Kyogre will help somewhat.
Best rate I had was 42% with a Great Ball. So close...
Meanwhile, I totally obliterated Zapdos (my only EX S Rank).

You talking non-mega Mewtwo? That scares me a little if it's on the level of Blaziken at all. I haven't even been thinking about the catch, just unlocking the darn thing.
Also, I'm down to just Mega Mawile, Gengar, and Mewtwo Y. The first two seem to pretty much require disruption delay and moves+5 to have a chance against them (haven't tried Mewtwo Y with that yet), and even with those I've failed to get the S rank more than once. I think I'm at the point where I'm going to say screw it and hope adding a complexity-1 locks it up, though that'll require some coin grinding. And then I'll just have to scream and pull my hair out if I fail after that heavy of an investment. I feel like I'll probably lose more coins gambling without the complexity-1, so here's hoping it does the trick and frees me from this.

is over? nope, it's only just begun.
Yes.
At least I could beat Blaziken consistently even if it was with less than 3 seconds left most of the time.
I haven't even cleared Mewtwo once so far. For info, you have 2 minutes to bring him down. He starts off rather easy and at first, will only turn tokens into ice one at a time. But once he hits ~10% of health left, smokescreen everywhere.
I used complexity-1 against Mega-Mewtwo and Mega-Gengar
Mawile should be manageable without it.
+5 moves won't count toward getting a S-Rank I think, so don't use it.
Man, that's worrying, but I'm sure I'll muscle through it eventually.
And the +5 actually does help with getting S ranks, which was super helpful on a few when I found that out (useless for catching, though).
