I've just reached Mega Gengar now but haven't tried him yet.
What should I do/use?

Disruption Delay, Moves + 5 and Mega Start is usually a good combination of items to choose, and it comes to 4300 coins which isn't that expensive considering you can grind the normal and special Meowth stages for more coins.

It's been a while since I played that stage but I think bringing Haunter is recommended as well as Sableye + 2 other supereffective Pokemon.

 

[Javier]

WTF Mega Glalie.

Those tricks he pulls is the exact kind of shit that makes you wonder "Is this even legal"?

 

[daydream]

The good: I finally bagged all S-ranks and unlocked EX20

The bad: Back to nightmare EX stages and dodgy catch rates.

The ugly: I only have 3470 coins, and 1 jewel. Those S-ranks were fucking expensive.

EX20 is a mother. I would love to know the par time on it.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Everything.

Or at least Moves +5 and Disruption Delay.

Just did it, spent the coins... and only got an A rank :'(

Man the 'I'm going to freeze the two middle columns' disruption is so overdone by this stage and it never stops being cheap bullshit!

The Mega battles I'd just buy everything. There's no point skipping the complexity-1 and then getting an A or B rank and having to do it again, it'll cost more in the long-run if you don't get it the second time.

I'm almost at the end now, Togekiss is a bizarrely difficult battle. Only just scraped through after a number of attempts.

 

[vinnygambini]

I'm actually quite enjoying the game, it's surprisingly addicting lol

Has anyone spent money yet?

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Has anyone spent money yet?

Nope. I'd never spend money on a F2P game.

Also I don't feel the need to either since I play in spurts.

 

[fester]

Firmly resisting the idea of spending any money on it - I'm not going to encourage that business model at all. If they want to give away the game for free, that's fine, but it's good enough that I would have easily spent $5 on buying it just like I did the Streetpass games.

 

[-Horizon-]

Almost to stage 100.

 

[Boba2007]

I got a profit of 3,400 coins on the special Meowth stage this time (used a +5 moves for 800 coins, so I really got 4,200 on the stage. Ended up earning me way more than I would have without +5).

Here's some tips: If you have Mega Gengar, use him. Also avoid using any pokemon that delay disruptions or remove disruptions from the board. I'm fairly certain that when coins get removed due to a pokemon's ability or Mega, you don't earn anything.

I'm up to 26,060 coins after grinding a couple days. Going to keep doing it a bit more before going for Mewtwo, I want to make sure I can get it in one try, no matter how many great balls it takes.

Anyone has team setup tips for Meowth stage 37? My regular team kills him way too fast

 

[JoeM86]

This coming week is the last week of the Meowth Coin Challenge & daily Rotom events on Pokémon Shuffle

 

[vinnygambini]

Mega Lopunny is death; had to use a jewel.

I'm really enjoying this game. I spent 5$ to show my support. Really fun game.

You're going to get torn a new one now for admitting that

To be honest, having spent 20 hours playing this now, I think I probably ought to buy something as well. I reckon they've earned it, even though I'm not yet at a point where I need to buy anything.

Uh oh, there'd better be a replacement for Meowth or some way to earn coins without money.

I've caught all the main 'mons now; just missing Blaziken and the last 4 EX Pokemon.

I imagine we'll be getting daily stuff for at least a year.

We'll see on Saturday

Well I can't talk, as I have spent ~£50 on it (would have been £86, but thank god for exchange rates and the fact the Japanese one came first)

 

[Draxal]

I would spend money on this if there was anything worthwhile to spend jewels on. I'm short three 3 pokemon from main, and about 8 ex pokemons without spending a jewel.

The coins are only really worth spending to get S-ranks, and to beat Mega levels. Everything is catchable with a little patience but S-ranks are near-impossible in some cases with no items.

If you're not bothered with S-ranks there's not much you'd need to buy.

Anyone has team setup tips for Meowth stage 37? My regular team kills him way too fast

I use it as a stage for training up the Pokemon I haven't used, since they're usually level 1 or 2 - don't optimise your team or use supereffective Pokemon, Pokemon that remove disruptions or Pokemon that prevent disruptions from happening by paralyzing/freezing the Meowth.

I find aiming for a 4 coin chain to get 300 coins is usually the best way to go about it, since the 5th coin comes when you have 2 moves left and that might not be enough to make the 5 coin chain and complete the stage.

 

[Robin64]

I feel like I'm never gonna catch Zoroark. Half the time I can't even beat him, and if I do it's usually just a 5% catch chance. I think the best was 11%, but that was rare.

 

[Cloudius12]

My team is current with 2 weak pokemons + 2 decent damage.

I don't know how much times where I come out empty handed trying for 530 coins.

 

[-Horizon-]

Wow, screw you raichu.

 

[Elija2]

Well, I've pretty much hit a roadblock. Can't S rank any more regular stages, can't beat any more EX stages. I guess I'm done until the next content update.

How many coins/jewels have you got?

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Wow, screw you raichu.

I found Raichu pretty easy.

Just put Pikachu and Pichu in your team and combos galore!

 

[Elija2]

How many coins/jewels have you got?

2 jewels, 70000+ coins.

I know, I could spend them, but I might need them even more later on!

I've tried that a couple of times, I only manage to get to maybe a quarter of its health left :/

 

[Oxx]

I just reached Mega Glalie.

It's probably time to turn these jewels into some coins.

 

[Boba2007]

Alright, I finally caught Mewtwo and Blaziken. Only three EX pokemon left to catch and then I'm finally done with everything (except S ranking the EX stages, but that doesn't do anything).

 

[TrickRoom]

At the rate they have these promotions and coins, I find it worth the time saved to spend on what you need.

 

[Juni_]

This games needs to stop asking me if I want to use a great ball when the catch rate is still lower than 20%.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

*spams the combination of Moves +5 and Disruption Delay to S-rank 6 previously-A/B-ranks in a row*

(Yeah, I had some spare hearts from StreetPass.)

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Woop all normal stages S-ranked and captured.

EX stages here we come!

(I have only 3,000 coins left and no gems, this is going to be painful)

We're in the same boat. I've been trying to grind Meowth for a few days. I'm in no hurry to catch these legendary bastards.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

So I went ahead and used my spare coins on using all power-ups for non-S-ranked Mega stages.

I've got all but the last two (Mega Gengar and Mega Mewtwo Y) finished, and...

Man, it's practically an "I Win" button. 3-turn clears!

 

[toythatkills]

Do be wary of using all your coins. When Nintendo add another 20 stages to the end of the map you might actually need them.

 

[Aveyn Knight]

You can do it!

He was my last main Pokemon that I caught and I spent so long on him that I call him a bad name now.

EDIT: Dang, I need to S rank all the main stages? I don't think I have enough coins left for the hard Megas. Guess I gotta wait for Mewoth or when Nintendo feels generous with their gifts.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

By that time I think I'll probably have a new source of coins.

I still have some bank and jewels that I can make use of, and Cities: Skylines is taking up my time. I think I'll just check in every day for now.

 

[-Horizon-]

I can see the outline of Glaceon

 

[bjork]

I beat Mega Mawile. I think it was my fifth try, I used a +5 move and the thing where you're automatically in mega evolution. It was pretty close though, I had two moves left.

Then the next tier opened and when I got to Emolga he killed himself before I could even make a move, and that put his capture rate at MAX. Nice and easy.

 

[Dénouement]

Beat Mega Mewtwo.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

We're in the same boat. I've been trying to grind Meowth for a few days. I'm in no hurry to catch these legendary bastards.

Ha I was pretty pumped to dive into these EX stages... and then I got to Articuno.
Yeah.
I'm also not in a hurry anymore!

Cheers for the Meowth tip, forgot it was possible to grab coins from the standard Meowth, I've only been doing (pretty poorly on) the weekend one.
I know where my hearts are going tomorrow...

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Finally got Kyogre. Took a Great Ball at max but I did it.

Also looks like we'll be competing for Lucarionite.

 

[LycanXIII]

Mega Lucario is live. It's a competition. Every player gets a jewel, and the top 20k scorers get Lucarionite. Ends March 23rd.

I wonder how hard it's going to be to get in the top 20k, or if they'll repeat this event later. Seems kinda crappy to tie completion to competitions.

 

[SalvaPot]

Oh fuck. The Hungerio Games.

Or Battle Royallerio, depending on what you watched first.

It's a timed one, you get one minute.

Yeah that sucks... It basically forced people to buy jewels for coins to keep retrying with complexity -1's

Currently sitting at 7k score and around #400 but I'll probably get knocked out of the top 20k in a few days once more people do it.. Will retry on the last day if I need to with complexity -1 and such, but meh thats such a shit way to give out mega stones.

Do you only get the jewel after the event ends? Didn't get mine just there.
